And while we're at it. I also want to rent a cute little beach house with the love of my life. (Maybe we just got married) And spend a whole month there completely naked. Sunbathing. Fucking. Making love. Skinny dipping. Making popsicles and lemonade. Just kissing each other's skin. I want to never wear shoes and have the top of my bikinis hang from the railing of our balcony. And I want to nap in one of those beds with the white linen bed sheets and be woken up by their hands roaming my body. Cause I'm naked. All.the.time.

She looks so good!

If only paramount can introduce two more ladies that can rock this color as well...👀

hi. mentally ill about soren and claudia. the siblings in tdp all make me insane but soren and claudia are so. viren's daughter claudia and her brother soren (he doesn't like soren). the fact that at first claudia seems like the nice one but soren questions when he's doing the wrong thing and claudia digs herself deeper every chance she gets. that one scene where to protect ezran (?) (it's been a while since i watched this bit) he threatens claudia and she just looks so heartbroken and determined. they both do. because they still do care so so much about each other, it's just that they've taken such different paths and neither of them is willing to bend, not even for the other. <- not normal

OMG A TDP ASK FOR ME??????????????

Who doesn't love Soren and Claudia.

Like, Soren was willing to kill his father in the name of what was right, and Claudia was willing to bring her father back from the dead ignoring what was right ("I did things...I never imagined I would be able to do"). Claudia in s2 wants to "use [her] words not [her] muscles" but when it comes down to it, she's always going to use the strength dark magic gives her to get what she wants, and Soren has since learned that forgiveness and friendship are powerful things. Claudia has only distanced herself from the personhood of the creatures/people around her further and further (which is part of the danger of dark magic), while Soren has only become more and more aware of it.

Soren would jump headfirst into the sea in heavy armor to save an innocent baitling, whereas Claudia would try and squeeze her former friends to death for the sake of her goal. They both have a completely different understanding of the value of life, at all different levels, with Viren learning that value later:

And I think Soren learning to value life more and more over the course of his arc 1 er, arc, only adds to the fact that he's willing to kill his father at the end of s3.

Had Soren been down in the ocean with the rest of the gang in 5x09, I think he wouldn't have hesitated in killing Claudia either, despite how much he cares about her.

While Claudia's followed the dark path of her father ("Daddy look! I'm following in your footsteps!") Soren's been trying to walk a different path. To follow Ezran and his efforts for a brighter future.

I just think they're neat!

(For context, these scenes take place right after one another. Soren staying on the surface to look after their creature friends VS Claudia who sinks bellow to the ocean floor using the corpse of a pentapus)

Bonus "My eyes for truth" and seeing personhood comp:

#thinking about how 'No matter where you are on the path- no matter what you've done before...every step forward is a choice! I am free' #also applies to walking on the path of light #Like for Soren reaching after Clauida. And Callum doing dark magic again in 5x08 #You know what I'm saying #tdp #tdp analysis #tdp parallels #the dragon prince #tdp Soren #tdp Claudia #asks #gumy-shark #also tdp is insane with it's water/darkness symbolism #Like in 5x07 Soren is all like ''If you see Claudia again tell her I said hi'' and then he gives up and prepares to SINK and DROWN #Going back to the abyss are we Soren #Be amazed by how much I can overthink everything

Has anyone said it yet? Am I actually going to be the one to say it first?

Does anyone think that this impromptu romantic night will lead to....well... another reason for them to leave NCIS?

one of the reasons i love pearl jam is they don't just write songs about political topics but they actually support, advocate and donate for them too. that's reproductive rights, indigenous rights, climate change activism, gun control, anti-war, and homelessness issues

edit: and that’s just the stuff they’ve written music about. they also post about lgbtq+ rights and gender affirming care, and raise money for things like a cure for epidermis bulosa and the maui wildfires

#'oh no my favourite band is immensely problematic/controversial/etc...' can't relate!!!! skill issue!! #also the most insane thing about this all is a massive amount of their fans are conservatives with zero media literacy like #if you take a look at their latest instagram post like. almost all the comments are going on about the 'woke' and antivaxxer stuff #and every so often there's outraged comments like 'since when did pearl jam get woke/political/liberal????' #as if there's not MULTIPLE songs written about certain presidents.. #someone likes to sing along but knows not what it means i guess #you know what i'm saying #pearl jam

I love Harley. I don't like why she was made but there are some benefits to it too, like she gets to be a foil to Joker and she gets to be a morally gray character unlike Joker and it gave us the opportunity for more acceptable queer representation because, let's be real, it's easier to put lesbian representation out than it is to put gay male representation because of the patriarchy. Don't let me get into a whole fucking thing about it but I do love Harley even though I will never support their relationship genuinely. however I do support the toxic relationship because it's necessary to show just how bad they are for each other and what their motives are because Joker uses Harley every possible chance he can get, he rats on her for time off, he tells her he loves her and does things for her so that she can throw herself in situations for him, she is a really good way to show what can happen when you're blindly loyal to somebody

but I also love that there are times where she stands up to the Joker and she's mad at him and obviously it's supposed to just be comic relief but it's kind of badass that like this main villain that Batman won't kill, like Harley has no problem calling him a scumbag and punching him and beating him up. Even though he obviously abuses her, they feed off of each other's energy and there's just no reason that they should be together other than they fuel the worst in each other. and I think both of them kind of like that. Joker needs somebody to fuel the worst in him so that he can continue to feul the best in Batman so that Batman can continue to feul the best in him so that he can feul the worst in Harley so that she can find the best in herself and it's just like this whole train of mental illness and queer behavior. I love it!!

[shadow13dickpistons]

So stupidly wasteful, so useless, so utterly needless but for the intensity of the hubris of those involved. All bitter jokes aside, I am...glad, if such a word can be used, that there was never any hope. That it was always too late. That no one suffocated slowly.

Just.....what a bunch of bullshit.

The fact that Billy Hargrove listens to Ted Nugent just tells you everything you need to know about him.

[doppelnatur]

Okay put this in the tags of a post but I don't actually wanna discuss with or attack the op they have their own shit to deal with so have this.

I don't really think the dismissal of mental illnesses like anxiety and depression is the fault of the people who speak about their more mild experiences online and try normalizing being open. like if you're not taking joy in anything isolating yourself despite wanting to stay in contact with people and trying to distract yourself from your life by watching Netflix and eating ice cream. that, truely sucks and I'm sorry. You don't need to have the most intense life threatening symptoms of your disorder all the time and it should be okay to talk about the smaller every day struggles too. these attitudes that don't take it seriously don't come from them sharing their experiences, they come from ableism. it's ableism. Idk man I think maybe if you have to put down another disabled persons experience to validate yours, you have some internalized ableism. like the reason a lot of people online speak about their mental illness and disability is because that's a lot of the people who depend on online spaces for their social interactions and stuff like. Can't we just stop throwing people under the bus?

(see this as tags, feel free to repost or post a link to this saying prev tags lol i just am not dealing with having posts on this webbed site)

#i also think this kind of attitude leads to people over identifying with their suffering and like getting stuck in their patterns because #if they get any better their pain is invalid throat suffering isn't real #you know what I'm saying #ugh

[liinos]

i think it's kinda 😭 when people complain about already debuted idols being on shows bc on the one hand i get it if you have someone who's established and has a lot of fans but half the time now it's idols who debuted like 6 months ago... like guys they didn't have TIME to build a fanbase i think it's okay

#i know a lot of people also worry about disbandment of those groups bc of the participation on a show but 🤔 conspiracy theory time #like yes it could be that the group is at risk of that bc these days if a group isn't popular within like a year the company gives up #on them BUT i do also think that some companies use this as a way to gain more fans for those groups like they get exposure they otherwise #wouldn't and even if it's just 1 or 2 members they're still getting fans... i do Genuinely believe a lot of companies do that with trainees #bc like. not to be mean but we all know some people are very clearly not ready to debut or are obviously not going to make the final group #so it *must* be a tactic to get fans for them for when they do (if they do ofc) like granted it doesn't work a lot of the time but #you know what i'm saying #also tbh i personally don't give a fuck about debuted idols being on shows regardless of how long theyve been around😭 track record #shows that it Does Not matter 💀 like even if they make the final group they never win soooooo

[killian-whump]

Out of everyone that has ever bested Killian Jones I do wonder just how many of them were women....

Well, according to my Whumpers page... a very good number of them. Although to be fair, I assume Killian spent a lot of time running around the Enchanted Forest looking for lovely ladies and then popping 'round to look for a besting, always with this face on as he waits for his inevitable whumping:

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.

#fanfic #ao3 #archive of our own #fandom things #tumblr things #i may have said this at some point #i'm sure i have #but whatever - just in case #i don't say this with the presumption that i'm so amazing and people are clamoring to save my fics #but just if anyone is so inclined that's all #ftr i don't intend on ever removing my fics from ao3 or deleting fandom things from this blog #i've always shared my fandom things with the intent of keeping them shared bc that's the whole point of posting #but the fandom atmosphere and ao3 constantly being under attack who knows what can happen #not that this applies to anyone but should all else fail you can also reach out to me and i will personally give you a copy #at least of fics bc i save everything #not so much the tumblr things but this is a good reminder to myself that i should do that for the things i care about #that i've made or done and only posted here #anyway sorry i have now used up my quota of the putting words into sentences doing for today #i have plans to stare into the void now

[inkskinned]

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.
