#you deserve my full attention

[theworld-accordingtocasey]

For the 3rd time within 2 days, I’ve been peacefully enjoying a fic and then read “bread shoulders” instead of “broad shoulders” and I… don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me that this keeps happening lol

#i love bread #but that doesn’t explain why suddenly the foreplay in a smut scene turns into fucking food #i had to do a double take #lol #it’s very ??? #this has never happened before #and i have not been without food…although I’ll admit that I have been eyeing my mom’s loaf of sourdough bread #I just haven’t eaten it bc she is using it for sandwiches the last couple days #but I do consider procuring some everytime I walk into the kitchen. including when I ate 9 Pillsbury Hawaiian Crescent Rolls on Monday &Tues #hmm #I wonder if that’s why #🤔 #subconscious mind #not really a rant but in the spirit of trying to find this later for whatever currently irrelevant reason， I will go ahead & tag this as #“ #/end rant #” #thoughts are being thunk #sorry jeno #you deserve my full attention #but apparently i am #having issues #I feel like it may have been a jeno fic yesterday too lmao #wompwomp #and when I do the double take，it very clearly says “broad” not bread so ¿ #points at self #🤨👉🪞 #: #get it together

"Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a vampire in love with a human. Better integration than I could possibly have dreamed."

(just some Sundown The Vampire in Retreat fanart. More details and B&W vers. under the cut, etc).

:)

#I thought this movie was really cute and charming in a lot of ways #also I love Bruce Campbell's look in this one so much I had to draw him #I wanted to make him really warm to contrast her vampiric appearance which is more or less what they do in the movie #although he's pretty gray #I also like the costume designer's attention to detail like everyone is dressed more or less like they would be at the time they died #and a vampire western is just one of those ideas you pull from a hat that sound insane and are #but anyway charming film! I watched it twice this year! Then what! It's full on youtube so it's easier #I feel like she looked more like the actress in the sketch ALSO her actress played Muffy in April Fools Day????! #I fucking love that movie so much and Muffy is my girl she's like such an insane genius I love her to death #that movie is like a very long Are You Afraid of the Dark episode and this movie is a fairy tale with vampires. Iconic choices honestly #sundown the vampire in retreat #bruce campbell #I usually don't tag actors or actresses but I deserve this one #fanart #artists on tumblr #art #digital art #illustration #my art #digital drawing

Okay but like. Two things about the volume 8 statue [redacted] chapter.

Firstly. By god no amount of "yeah it was unhinged" comments on this website prepared me for whatever the fuck that was. I need at least 5 business days to process.

Second, was I the only one who read that scene as:

Hua Cheng, teeming with self-satisfaction to see Mu Qing near writhing with scorned disgust and fury: this was a 100% successful trip

Xie Lian: our statues are fucking in Mu Qing's palace oh god oh fuck what do you m e a n successful

Hua Cheng, smirk getting even bigger: this was a 100% successful trip

#tgcf #volume 8 spoilers #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #mu qing #hua cheng really out here like 'it's called christening the heavens with our love which is more than you lot deserve.' #nothing could have prepared me for how that scene played out #hua cheng how does it feel to win every single day of your deceased life #mf thought he was going to be humiliated in front of his lifelong crush/sworn love #only to instead watch one of his love rivals tangentially humiliated by XL's (hualian POST-COITAL) overwhelming spiritual power no less #I have never witnessed a bigger W in my life holy shit the way that boomeranged #I just can't get over how funnily hc's built I swear to god it ends me every time #mfer was born and literally nobody liked that. baby boy suffers for most of his life #fast forward to ghost hc. master of cataclysmic power and protecting his loving failwife (who is basically full of aged weird girl energy) #said weird girl energy being hc's salvation because xl saw him feral and unhinged and legit went 'i like him i'll let him tear up the couch #for 800 y e a r s hc pined and nourished his love--waiting for his opportunity #thusly leaving every single one of his competitors for xl's attention in the dust (not that they were much to write home about) #hc is like the definition of 'bide your time and fucking destroy' #i don't care what anyone says he's legitimately one of the coolest characters i've ever seen #i also can't get over hua cheng straight up being like 'xl in distress? we all know who this is a job for. M E' **builds hc statue** #without an ounce of hesitation #the way i love this mfer he's so sweet and so funny at the same time nobody doing it like him #i also love mxtx's passion for the dynamic of “GET RID OF HIM HE'S A MENACE” “no he just needs enrichment let him be" #why bingqiu and hualian will live forever in my heart

the only thing i took away from hsr 2.1 is that march is gay

#who is this bartender and can she become playable she deserves a full on the mouth kiss #hsr spoilers #hsr #also aven meeting his younger self is cute tho i still havent gotten to the part where they explain who tf is speaking thru his future self #but i actually hate how the game pushes you to keep pulling for newer units oh my god like i dont wanna do dot damage stop making your boss #bosses able to be oneshotted by black swan acheron kafka and nobody else #pov person who hasnt progressed through aven boss fight because it's taking way too damn long. prolly a skill issue but just let me play #my fav characters i dont need this fucking powercreep stuff T_T #ramblings! #also aven is growing on me but also idc his design is too dripless and so is boothill's im like -_- #the only pretty people are robin and siobhan the bartender and im so sick of physical.............. #also i tghink this is just a side effect of being way more invested in genshin bc i cannot fully pay attention to the lore tm #they be revealing things left and right and i just dont care so it flies over my head #at least they properly gave everything needed to understand avens backstory before we have to fight him

Elena of Avalor is genuinely such a good show.

#Personal #You know I've never forgotten about this show for a single day even after it ended #Just thinking about it makes me happy already but I recently listened to all the songs again #and directly interacting with the show and rewatching the clips from it hits so much different #I really need to do a full rewatch someday I haven't watched the show in ages #Just episodes I love most or something random for the content making purposes which is certainly not the same as watching for pure enjoymen #I probably realized it long ago but I'm currently in the 'analyzing my life' state of mind #and this show means so much to me on a personal level too because it brings up so many important topics to me as a person #And it just does it so well it's clear to see that creators actually cared about the story they wanted to tell #And really EoA also has absolutely fascinating and unique worldbuilding #and in the combination of important not trivial messages and dynamic layered characters this is just such a solid show #It really deserved to get more recognition #I wouldn't even say attention because lots of attention may cause more harm than good #It's actually more about recognition and acknowledgement #Really I'm not even talking about what a huge impact being a part of the fandom has had on my life #it's worth the whole separate post #I'm just talking about the show itself and how great and meaningful it is #Anyway EoA warms my heart and I'm so happy I encountered this show

my new rule I’m enacting for all customers is that they need to bring a cute dog in with them. it’s a prerequisite for coming in the door if you don’t have your dog with you I don’t want to hear it. not interested. thanks

#Aussie/border collie mix off duty service dog and a sweet beagle who french kissed me when I went to pet her are now the BAR #this is the NEW STANDARD. do I lose track of what I’m doing and get tunnel vision towards petting the dog as soon as one walks in? #yes but this is fine. if you don’t have your dog with you you don’t deserve my full attention as much. BRING YOUR DOGS!!!!!!!

I've been relistening to the homestuck soundtrack album by album while working lately and man. it's reminding me how much I genuinely loved about homestuck, and how that made the aspects of it that sucked so much more frustrating

#I have such a love/hate relationship with this stupid comic #we're vascillati- [gets shot] #no but for real there is so much that's good #really interesting and entertaining characters #and a LOT of them. there is truly a character for everyone #genuinely funny dialogue #interesting worldbuilding #absolutely INSANE utilization of the artistic medium #like. sometimes I think about the panel expanding to fill the whole page in cascade and I go a little crazy #but then for every strength it has. it shoots itself in the foot. #it has interesting compelling characters but because there are so many of them only a few get actual narrative attention and development #and many others just get completely fucked over by the narrative #like. main characters. jade you deserve so much better baby. #and the worldbuilding is cool in THEORY but the actual execution is so messy and difficult to keep track of #even stuff like the epilogues like. had some interesting ideas about narrative and meta concepts about what it means to be a story #the meta stuff is kinda cool #but once again. the actual execution of those ideas was just miserable and left me with such a sour taste in my mouth #tbh that's all probably what made the fandom so prolific #because it was full of so many interesting ideas and characters #but the ideas were poorly executed and the characters were poorly handled #which gives the fandom a lot of room to play in the space #you can pick up the characters or worldbuilding ideas or plot points that you actually liked #and make them your own #idk. reading that comic as a baby english major did something to me #I want to analyze it like I had to analyze some of the questionable literature I read #anyway. the music is still flawless I have no notes there #does anyone wanna classpect the fma characters. i haven't classpected characters in so long im so rusty but i always found it fun

It’s June 10th! So here is Port reading the Lusiads, which is basically a fanciful retelling of the first sea voyage to India with roman mythology in the mix, with Venus being the protector of the Portuguese and Bacchus trying to foil them.

And yes, I realise I clearly like water and history coming out of books lol

#my art #aph portugal #hws portugal #broooo my headache is killing meeee #trevo said Port is looking at the naked lady and YEAH OK IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL but Venus was there for him ok she deserves the attention #i wanted to add more but you know....you know #so we have the two gods and viri4thus and ter3sa and h3nry and afons0 h3nriques #and then the story of eg4s mon1z o aio and ofc p3dro and in3s #4damastor is obligatory and m4griço and his buddies #and the island of loves which is just so funny. trust c4mões to reward his sailors by getting them laid in an island full of nymphs #'god would approve of this' and it did the inquisition approved it good for him #and a lil c4mões up there cos according to legend he saved the manuscript of the poem after a shipwreck #by holding it up while swimming with one arm #anyway i love c4mões and i love that he bitches about getting no respect in this...the national epic. love it #as you can see i prefer to focus on the literary side of today hehehee

Thinking about Izuku who can pose confidently in front of a camera now, and anti-social Tomura not even looking at the camera and/or staying in the background

#izuku and toga are there For Scale #showing the foreground and background yk #with the poll pics its like he's saying 'if im not even in the top 5 then you don't deserve my full attention 🙄' #anyway confident izuku and awkward anti-social tomura canon confirmed #bnha #boku no hero academia #bnha vol35 #<- for the last pic which is the obi sketch for the volume cover #the first two of tomura are from the popularity polls #3rd one of tomura is the sketch hori did for the 2nd movie announcement #and the izuku one is from the jump festa illustration of course #shigaraki and midoriya #izuku midoriya #tomura shigaraki #mettys posts #metty posts #bnha jump festa

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovely person 🌹

I’m not sure if you’re on here. No worries if you see this much later, I just wanted to let you know I’m sending you my love! You’re such a kind person and the comments that you write, the quotes and references you make in them, are very inspiring. And I have to mention your writing, of course, because it’s beautiful.

Here’s a romance-themed OC question for any OC(s) of your choosing (no pressure to answer on Valentine’s day itself, or at all):

What combination of random objects would your OC use to describe their LI? What do they represent? Bonus question: What would their LI use to describe them?

thank you for your kind words ♡ it's the greatest pleasure in the world for me to share things i read or see with people, so really it's selfish, lol.

there are few things that mean as much to me personally as someone saying something reminded them of me, so i just want to reciprocate that where i can, and the purpose of language and beauty is to be shared, right? i'm trying to be less insecure about sharing things with people so this is really encouraging, thank you for saying this ♡

i love this question! (i wonder what objects the people i love would use to describe me? i'll go ask them.)

i'll elaborate, but in summary! mason is a swimming pool, nate (mina) is bubbles on a bubble bath, mina is an umbrella, and nate (bella) is wisteria, and bella is her little gold locket.

mina

mason it might be strange to say this because the ocean and its terrifying power is so clearly a motif and fixation for n, but m makes me think of drowning. there's the stormy grey of their gaze, of course, but also they invoke the metaphorical kind of drowning. overstimulation, for me, has the same overwhelming feeling as being in the water and running out of energy to fight to stay afloat.

when it comes to their romance route, i think of this ram dass quote often, "all you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could."

so while i was tempted to say something like "noise-cancelling headphones" (rip wayhaven m you would love my xm4s) i think, for mina, m is a swimming pool. (is that an object, or a location? humour me, please.)

one of those ones you go to when you're a child in a hot place in the suburbs of a big city. cool water and chlorine that stings your eyes and that precise shade of blue and whistles blowing and voices echoing over the water.

maybe it's just me that can immediately invoke the feeling of being in a neighbourhood pool like that, since i spent a lot of time in them when i was young in a hot place where a pool was the only relief. but i think it's so contradictory and so lovely and peaceful and so chaotic and you leave with your lungs burning. and i think that's what mason is to mina. the bottom of a swimming pool and the first breath after you surface and you are aching but you are alive.

nate the mar in me wants to say pomegranates, but i will leave them to her ♡ (but really, a man who is a fruit with thick skin and arils that glitter like jewels and juice that streams down your mouth like blood?)

maybe, instead — for mina, nate is the cloud-like layer of white foam on a bubble bath. (water, again. it wasn't intentional! but!)

how easily you can hold it in your hands, but when you try to grasp it tighter, it disintegrates. it promises eternity (if you keep the water running, you'll make more bubbles) but that promise requires so much to go certain ways. you can cover yourself in an embrace of bubbles. there's so much more below the foam.

does this make sense?

mina for mason, mina is an umbrella. both for the refuge she provides and the level of organisation that it calls to mind. isn't always having an umbrella when you need one the goal of adulthood? i think there's something strangely elegant about that and that is very mina.

(i also think mason would be very serious about umbrellas lest he becomes a bit of a wet cat after being out in the rain too long, and mina always having one ready just like him is startling to him.)

bella

nate bella is a gardener, so i think she would want to think of nate as a flower, and wisteria is the one that comes to mind for her first.

it's a beautiful flower, first and foremost, but it's also exceptionally strong. it has the ability to break stone through strangulation with its vines (making it a very predatory invasive species, believe it or not) and it can even destroy entire forests by killing off trees and leeching into the canopy to drive more sunlight towards itself.

it's also poisonous, like the flower bella was named for. (atropa belladonna.)

isn't that so nate? so beautiful and so strong that it can be brutal? while wisteria is relentless i think nate is relentless in a different way — he's wrapped his vines around bella's heart.

bella this is less metaphorical, but nate gave bella a gold locket that often pops up in my stories about her. (mina probably has one too, lol. lockets are my favourite jewelry to give a character, i'm afraid.)

it's always catching nate's eye from across a room and shining brightly, just like her.

what's inside it, i can't say. (i like to imagine f and m have played a game guessing the contents, ranging from the boring (picture of nate) to the insane (nuclear codes, cocaine, dumpling sauce).)

there's also the implications of the metal heart she wears around her neck and her metal heart (her pacemaker) ♡ i like that he thinks of both of them when it comes to the woman he loves.

bonus!

“extinction event” takes up most of my time these days so i wanted to answer for the researcher and stranger (who i hope you’ll meet later this year) too ♡

(like bella's answer, these will be objects they have/use.)

the researcher at first i think the stranger would describe them mostly in terms of things they regularly buy in the convenience store! since that’s a little easter egg (recently i've been toying with a goofy little spice tolerance stat lol but the branching is already ridiculous so it might be left on the cutting room floor :')) it’s up to the players to choose those items and i can't name anything specific.

i've been thinking a lot about an object all of them would have. i've got an idea for one right now that has both a lot of symbolic and personal meaning (it's something i have a collection of so it would be my little shout out to that) but i'm not sure if i'll keep it. i'm trying to make sure it's something that could fit every version of the researcher.

the stranger the branching complicates things! but definitely the first thing the researcher would think of when they think of them would be their necklace. i went back and forth a thousand times on what it should be (i was leaning towards victorian mourning jewellery at one point but then i was like “they are weird but idk if they are that brand of weird” and so they will not wear a dead person’s hair around their neck!) before i settled on the coin. 

the other object that the researcher would describe them with is very much a spoiler!

thank you again, and thank you for waiting for me, sending you love ♡

#i actually read something awhile back i've been thinking about a lot recently #the poet and editor george abraham #who is a palestinian person (they pronouns) #said of poetry that #'if we can't imagine a free liberated world in language how can we build one?' #and that really crystallised a lot of my thoughts on literature and sharing it #i'm so happy to share the things i read #i want to give everyone's work my full attention #and take you seriously like you deserve #it's a pleasure to be surrounded by your words. building a world of love. #i've loved words ever since i was a little kid who got in trouble for turning the car lights on to read on my way home in the dark #:') #happy valentine's day! #happy white day! #ask #anonymous #mina #bella #ee tag

short hiatus notice / psa.

Putting under a cut !!!!!

Lily here. Been having a really really rough time. Barely communicating on discord so if you've noticed that among my friends, this is why and I'm very sorry. and frankly my mental health isn’t great at all. I feel very overwhelmed on my blog and I need to go on a break I think for my own sake, my health, dealing and grappling with some very tough situations, and to organize and just relax which I haven't...really done since I lost my grandmother less than a year ago. Since then things in life have really been a relentless snowballing of bad things for well, me, my family, friends, and I know among my loved ones I'm not the only one that needs a break.

It's only a break. Not a long one, but one that I don't feel bad taking so I can feel better and the situations and my life get better because I kinda feel like I'm drowning.

By no means am I ever leaving my blog, Edward means everything to me, but I need to clean it up, drop old drafts, clean followers etc and I’m not full of energy enough right now to do that so it's easier to navigate. I just need some time. A lot is going on and I feel guilty when I shouldn’t, but right now all the bad things going on in my life are completely distracting me from giving this icon the love he deserves in writing. I just need some time, it's really bad right now. 

I won’t be gone forever, just a lil while until my health / situations improve, but I need to take care of myself first. I hope you understand and I hope to see you all when I get back! 

Again, love Lily, take care of yourselves and hopefully I'll see you soon. If there is any activity on this blog it will be Edward content running on a queue, gifs, pictures, musings, etc from his sideblog. Sending you good vibes and well wishes like always.

I'll see you all as soon as it starts to look up, okay? Until then please take care. You all are so good to me so I really hope you take care of yourself too.

#𝐏𝐒𝐀 * ── a lesson without pain is meaningless. #𝐎𝐎𝐂 * ── revving at full throttle! #this has been a long time coming but it's nothing about my dash #it's nothing about all of you #you're fantastic #i'm just doing /very badly/ #and i gotta take care of myself so i can give Ed the attention he deserves and justice he deserves #when i /am/ feeling better / managing #tw: mental health

being a schizophrenic th fan genuinely fucking sucks more than anything ever

#the way the Entire fanbase treats someone who is (supposedly) schizophrenic is fucking exhausting #TO BE CLEAR: i dont view it as like. an excuse for actions etc etc #but the fact that i feel the need to clarify that says enough about the way the fanbase acts about it #no a schizospec diagnosis (if thats what it even is) does not excuse grooming kids. believe it or fucking not. #and it also doesnt make someone inhuman or impossible to communicate with #and also you dont have to “save” or “fix” a grown man who needs an actual real world support system #that DOESNT JUST EXCUSE HIS ACTIONS (matt) #and ESPECIALLY you dont have to brute force send messages to him through weird and unusual channels that would like #very easily be seen as fucking threatening and scary to a schizospec person. if i had an account and a stranger was fucking #uploading shit to my account through a loophole to send me a message i would be freaking the fuck out #it would absolutely induce an episode #it just astounds me like. how a fanbase that is full of people who are like. autistic adhd etc etc. just absolutely refuses to treat #schizophrenia with respect or the care it deserves #also its even more frustrating seeing another schizospec person ALSO treating him like a zoo animal+studying him like a lab rat #just ignore the fucking guy block his account stop giving hiim attention stop talking about him #he uses the attention you give him to do the shit he does that ends up hurting people #can you people just acknowledge schizospecs as human and also use your fucking brain and stop interacting

yknow those artists who post exclusively original art and yet still have massive followings and consistently get good amounts of notes on all of it. yeah how do they manage that

#preface: this isn’t a complaint or a guilt trip I am just musing #it’s just like. any time I post anything original I do it knowing full well it will get a FRACTION of the attention of anything fanart #and that’s if I’m LUCKY #and like I’ve made my peace with that even though it is really frustrating sometimes #to feel like I HAVE to make fanart to garner any sort of online response whatsoever #but I just. I see other artists manage to get attention on original work and I’m????? tell me your secrets #how do they get people to give a shit. it’s insane. their power #like it’s absolutely well deserved I see some gorgeous shit out there #but I also know that generally speaking people on the internet don’t care unless it’s fandom #so whenever I see something non fandom get popular I’m just fascinated like what is the rhyme or reason #I don’t mean this as a guilt trip btw reblog what you want I don’t care #and I don’t say this to be all WAAAAA REBLOG MY ORIGINAL STUFF #it’s just interesting to me that sometimes people seem to genuinely want to engage with original work #but only in very speciric scenarios and with specific artists #and then the rest of the time it’s like. ‘if it isn’t my blorbos I will not touch it with a ten foot pole’ #I want to know what. The logic is. what causes this. why

guess who just downloaded The Man From Rome from YouTube and gets to watch it and hear RA acting in English tomorrow!!!

can't believe NZ/AU is ahead on the US & pretty much all of Europe on this one for once, this NEVER HAPPENS

#we still get cinema releases (unless it's a MASSIVE one e.g. marvel/avatar) like 2 - 6 weeks behind US/Europe 🥲 #so i can't believe we pulled this one out of the hat #so honestly fam i'm sorry if it's not available in your region yet but also not sorry about bragging b/c if you live in Europe/US #you get everything else far ahead of Aus/NZ #i'm not gonna watch it tonight though 'cause a) it's 9pm and i'm a small child who needs beauty sleep lmao #and b) watching this needs to be a special event (e.g. w/ drinks and movie snacks) and deserves my full attention not me nearly nodding off #by the end #the man from rome #man from rome #richard armitage
