#That wasn't our intention

[knightoft4t]

In-system relationships of all types are so cool and varied! It is so interesting how they can form and affect your life

As we put earlier, this goes for all relationships, but we wanted to highlight non-romantic ones because we mainly see posts that only highlight romance.

Shout out to:

In-system queer platonic relationships

In-system friendships

In-system FWB

In-system other nonromantic sexual relationships

In-system familial relationships

In-system waverships

In-system acquaintances

And every other In-system relationship we missed!

#Plural tag #Pluralgang #plural positivity #Sorry if this comes across as mean to romantic relationships #That wasn't our intention #Pro endo

Lackadaisy Enrichment

#in our enclosures!! #video linked as source; which i'm glad to see already has a million views and is trending. That's Right #lackadaisy #WHICH i have been reading since at least '07 when i was thirteen my god b/c this animation is based on the ongoing webcomic #like does its influence show up Directly in some Discrete way i can point to in my art? not very easily probably. And Yet. #the inspiration....i wasn't able to be Regularly Only for at least another year / art done Nonprofessionally Online was novel to me #like wow ppl can make & post fanart of w/e they love huh....didn't know webcomics were a thing & i never really read that many since but. #good god the quality of Lackadaisy at its onset is like this is superb?? this person putting in all their talent and effort??? #and Then you get years & years more art and i don't even know what superlatives to throw out abt its quality as it evolves. obsessed w/it.. #if i see a new lackadaisy comic page i Will be acting out. obviously this animation is a delight & also stunning. and fascinating to also #juxtapose as a Translation / Interpretation of the comic in a different medium & standalone snippet of Story #and that we're not even quite there in the comic timeline; Taking Notes abt character info we get distilledly here....genuinely love like #take it back to '07 i'm like oh boy can't wait for the dream team to assemble. then a decade later when it did? Oh Boy. that is payoff lol #namely hooray for stitches and mudbug at the field office for every passing gangster. killing one marigold associate but not the other #which seems like a promising start to shootouts w/the other dream team triumvirate. i adore that in canon so far mordecai freckle & rocky #have met but only over a nice brunch. re: all intentions anyways. anyways i'm like Gifs Must Be Made while i'm also so riled afresh abt the #comic that i've been sooo hype for for over fifteen yrs now babeyyy Deservedly. i've done a couple of rereads & ought to do another.... #For Interest it'd probably take a few sittings to catch up from the start but there is much to be engaged over....this ongoing story that's #historical fiction prohibition bootlegging cats with plenty of focus on characters & several Mysteries. which i'm better at parsing now lol #like one of the more recent rereads like Oh Of Course x (probably) accidentally killed his y & z took the fall & that's a binding secret... #Not [oh of course] abt the circumstances surrounding a's death & how b & c were involved. nor the ''what's marigold's damage'' mystery #which is great. love to not know things. love that we can readily follow all the emergent drama everyone's wading in nowadays. hell yeah #anyways admire my organized approach to gifs here. four shots each Expressions Atmosphere Action Groupshots #sure might've muddled through gifmaking for this anyways but fr being a huge lackadaisy comic enjoyer for now most of my life helps #and its very Overall Inspiration like. just really getting the [you can really just draw stuff out here] going. fr the art's detail & skill #and that enrichment like i'm gonna have a great time following this. And I Have #you don't expect a crowdfunded indie animation in the mix back then but hell yeah fellas #SIGH ok removing a 4th gif that's broken / not displayed despite reuploading then entirely remaking it. if it's a bug i'll try again later

I have just booked a 14 day LotR tour in New Zealand for 2026!

Ever since I watched Fellowship of the Ring in the cinema in 2001, I have been wanting to go to New Zealand and visit the filming locations. This is a dream come true for me. I have been waiting 25 years for this moment and I'm honestly feeling a little dazed right now because it hasn't truly sunken in yet that I'm finally going on this adventure - and with a very good friend, too!

I'm so excited that I'm grinning from ear to ear and can't stop smiling!

#the way it came about was so funny too #my friend called me with the intention just to talk things through and weigh our options #in the end 3 places were available for the tour that worked best for us #and while we were talking one of them got booked so only 2 were available #I mean what are the chances of that happening? #so we spontaneously decided we need to book NOW #very spur of the moment though we've been talking for ages about doing this in 2026 or 2027 so it wasn't completely unplanned #but I'm so excited! #personal

not even gonna tag this properly bc i don't wanna get Involved but i do have some Thoughts i need to get out into the void so here we go

(aaa quick edit: CW for mention/discussion of Boothill leaks)

#today's gone Badly and i'm upset but instead of venting abt it i'm gonna channel that energy into doing a bit of tag rambling abt Boothill #well. less abt Him and more abt uh. self-analyzing my anxiety surrounding contributing to fandoms. he's just today's catalyst #like. i know it's mostly a me thing. i'm hypersensitive to criticism and very conflict avoidant + socially anxious + perfectionistic etc. #so I'm the one that keeps myself from posting more stuff out of fear of being criticized or called-out for what i've made #bc inevitably Someone's gonna see it and think its OOC or a problematic take or they'll misread my intent. etc etc what have you #but like. that's inevitable. there's no way to communicate every single thing with all of the nuance required to avoid misunderstandings #and other times it's not a misunderstanding it's just a difference of opinions and that's Fine!! there's no accounting for personal taste #there's no accounting for several things actually. taste‚ bias‚ lore-knowledge‚ differing levels of chronic-online-ness‚ etc #so this isn't me complaining abt the state of fandom culture (although i do think. sometimes. ppl take shit a bit too seriously) #but anyways all of this is mostly just anxiety-fueled. it's not like i very often actually even receive negative feedback or anything #if anything ppl tend to tell me that i'm overthinking it and killing my own fun and worried that my stuff is more OOC than it is #which like. yeah. Yeah u right :) but that's just the way that i am! always losing the idgaf war i suppose #anyways what's Boothill got to do w this ur wondering. well. i've been thinking abt the quickly emerging concept that he's illiterate. #and it just. has me feeling a lot of ways. and watching ppl disagree over it has me feeling some Bad ways. bc it's def a loaded topic! #if you'll pardon the pun there. and i don't rlly have anything new to add other than that i'm conflicted abt it. #like yeah i saw the leaks days ago. of him mentioning 'not hitting the books' much as a child when we ask him why he sends voice messages #or voice Transcriptions ig. ykwim. and like. *braces for impact* ...i liked it? like. it doesn't feel right to call it endearing #i'm not trying to infantilize him. ok that's not the right word either but ugh. you know? what i mean?? who am i kidding even i don't know #it's not quite right to say that it feels like Representation either. but it's something close i guess #as a southern person myself who didn't receive a 'complete' education due to factors that weren't to do with my intelligence #the concept of seeing him as a capable force to be reckoned with and respected who also happens to have not received much formal education #i like that. i do. but there's so many issues w it at the same time. like. as i said‚ being southern myself has me Wary of the way Hoyo is- #writing him. as well as of the way that the fandom is taking the bits of his lore and running away w them. and i'm Very aware of how ppl- #will see a southern character and be All Too Eager to agree that they're lacking intelligence based on our Redneck™ stereotype #sigh. and before we even go too far with this. it's not even confirmed that hes completely illiterate. which is a valid criticism i've seen #there's Multiple reasons that could make him prefer voice to text. but regardless. i'm just worried that ppl will misconstrue my intentions #like. example: that edit i made the other day of him saying 'no thanks i can't read'. wasn't me playing into the stereotype of- #'haha dumb country boy can't read!' it was. in my eyes. something he'd say as a joke to make light of a potential insecurity #like. i think there's far more depth to Boothill's character if ppl could look past the surface. and i dont wanna contribute to the problem #but sometimes ppl Will have stereotypical traits and i wish the same could apply to characters as long as it's done Thoughtfully.

it's just that "i was half-convinced i'd waken, satisfied enough to dream you" is such a delicate declaration, yet so ardent. if perhaps you aren't real, if you are something my own mind has concocted, that's enough. (come back to me, even as a shadow, even as a dream.) the mere gossamer thread of fantasy would be enough to fill my heart, would be real enough if you don't exist in this waking world, i'll bring you into it, i'll find you in a dream. "happily, i was mistaken," and have never been so glad to be wrong. you do exist, some miracle of fate led me to that window, and as long as you are real, there is hope to hold onto. that love could be realized too. anthony is the only person in the story who still believes in anything, and it's love. my heart has followed a winding path, and that you exist is enough to persist. in the cracks of light, i dreamed of you. it was real enough to get me through. 'til i'm with you, then i'm with you there.

#anthony hope #johanna barker #sweeney todd #sondheim #and we'll sail the world and see its wonders #me talking to sondheim: did you know you wrote the most beautiful love songs of our time #sondheim: that wasn't what--- #me: shhhh. you did though. you did. #it's also how anthony is a foil to sweeney not only in his innocence and impatience #they both fantasize but utterly differently #the point of anthony's johanna is that she is so vibrantly alive and all he wants is a chance for them to be together #to open the bars of her cage and take her hand and flee together #but sweeney's johanna has to keep her distant and a child and frames her in death. he cannot rescue nor embrace her #he's lost the ability. he could put the revenge aside and save his daughter instead but it's impossible #anthony is intent: i'm with you there #sweeney is resigned: we learn johanna to say goodbye #they are poised on the ends of the spectrum of life and death. another bright red day #rising and setting #and the only way to achieve balance in this is for both anthony and johanna to be shadowed by the end #it doesn't mean it's a fool's hope. but the hole in the world touches everyone #anyway yes i'm still on about this like i have been since 2005 #i've had almost no sleep because they decided today was the day to cut all the bushes and slam into the building #and my windows for hours 😩 #but this thought popped into my head (one might say) and i needed to write it down. regardless of coherency!

[chemzee]

I already told this particular opinion before but gonna post it here too.

Terrible chemzee opinion 2636

If we look at it from Cassandra's perspective, I believe she was mostly absolutely justified in Y1. Because if some random girl tried to make me dissapear/seriously hurt/kill me (the way it looked like from her perspective) but failed I'd also do a background check on her too 🤨 like girl what if she already hurt someone before? Plus, Cass wanting Ivy to get expelled? DUH she though Ivy almost killed her! Plus she learned she allegedly wasn't the first one so she's even more justified.

#I remember that one part in Y1 C5 where she says “I didn't show that article so you'd jelp her” #like she may have sounded condescending but I do think that was the actual intent #to give mc and daniel receiptes they need to avoid Ivy (rightfully so FROM HER perspective) #like girl doesn't know Ivy lore™ in full details #as much as I know Cass is supposed to be our rival AND she wasn't justified in bullying Daniel #she really was villainized here but cmon. she was pretty much right 💀 #ofc thank god Ivy was actually innocent and didn't actually mske her suster dissapear but still #Cass had all the right in the world to not trust her/go background check on her #BTW IMPORTANT you don't have to agree with me and I think that if you do disagree you can share your thoughts 👁👁 #hpma cassandra #hpma ivy #magic awakened #chemzee rambles lmao #silly opinions #cassandra vole

[keeps-ache]

i have my glasses now!! here are some things:

saw my mother clearly and almost cried

saw the parking lot and the sky and a tree and forgot to breath for a second

was so enamored with the Sky i tripped over a curb

the stars. oh my god the stars

#just me hi #HELLO #GOD BLESS THIS BEAUTIFUL PLANET WE ARE SO WONDERFULLY HERE #FORGOT TO MENTION THE MOON. SHE WAS STUNNING SHE WAS RED AND ORANGE AND YELLOW AND SHE WAS PERFECT #YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ENCHANTING A GROCERY STORE REALLY IS UNTIL..!!! #and i HATE the grocery store man!!! #/my mother was wondering how it looked to me before the glasses and i drew a quick thing to show her hfsvh #it suddenly hit me the utter power of a vision and any intent i'm. i'm going to be making art forever aren't i #//but the SKY let me tell you about the SKY #it was wispy with white and that shade of blue we know so well was so much more shocking i can't!! describe!!! #AND THE SUNSETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT #THE SUNSET. YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND #it WAS. it was grey and blue and SUCH a vivid hot-pink it's seared into the backs of my eyes like a vision of something sacred #/TRY and tell me everything wasn't made deliberately. like everything wasn't woven with love and the intention of wild beauty. i'll bite yo #//MY MOTHER. SHE IS SO LOVELY #she looks so much older and she makes my throat hurt and i'll think about how she looked in that costco forever Lol #/my FACE HOLY LANDS #i didn't expect to look so textured!!! i need to look at myself more i felt so many things looking into that little mirror!!!! #/my DAD my SIBLINGS my HANDS our CAR i'm going to live forever in a world that is so much more rough and utterly bewitching #//today was beautiful and i could go on waxing forever but!! now i have energy to run off and thoughts to think so!! #toodles !! :DD

[forcebookish]

if arkarm were really both supposed to be gay for you then why was arm made admin of a Hot Boy facebook page in the first place? shouldn't he just be gay from the start? sus writing choice tbh

#MAYBE i missed something in the translations and he was bi from the start bc he does say 'beautiful people' but i think thai is enough of a #gender neutral language that that could mean anything #i KNOW that ark is 100% gay for you and they better do something to change it #also like. i don't wanna yuck anyone's yum #but i do have Issues with how on board the fandom has gotten with labeling them as bisexual (based on the novel) #imo when it's this trope that is too generous an interpretation and we really should push back against gay for you and its prevalence in bl #(especially bl written by women. obv it's a fallacy that all fujos are str8 women 'fetishizing' gay men but there are still prejudiced ways #that some women write queer men and that should be recognized as a real problem) #i think p'new did a really good job altering abaab enough that it avoided gay for you and gave him a storyline that also included exploring #and questioning his sexuality in a meaningful way and made him all but explicitly bi #and i'm sure they'll make changes for this script too #but i think people should be more critical of gay for you and not just be like THEY'RE BI :) when it wasn't the author's intention #intention isn't everything death of the author blah blah it still matters how queer people are portrayed in the first place #not just our interpretations #anywayyyyyyyyyyyyy #more shit that i can't say on twitter because someone would misinterpret it and get mad at me lol #ptl liveblog

[shepherds-of-haven]

I've got a playlist titled Shepherds of Haven ✨️but its found family vibes only ✨️

and honestly I feel the need to gush because found family is one of my absolute favorite tropes.

And I adore the romance in this game so much, but what really has me inlove with this story is how fantastic you write the FF vibes, it gives me the absolute fuzzies in my heart.

The scene after the group escape's the dreamworld and fall asleep in MC's room? ✨️ AMAZING ✨️

The group all just sitting around and communicating? ✨️ TEARS ✨️

Them checking on MC in chapter 3 and all of them accepting MC? ✨️ GORGEOUS ✨️

All of them piling into the infirmary after MC wakes up? ✨️ BEAUTIFUL ✨️

And all the added stuff I've read from your tumblr? The get togethers? ✨️ SOBBING ✨️

I've read a lot of IF's in my opinion and on so many scales yours is a pure favorite, but especially in terms of them fuzzy, happy, amazing and warm found family vibes and moments we get.

✨️ I FEEL LIKE SOBBING HAPPILY JUST THINKING OF THEM ✨️

This... this whole message...

#<3333 #thank you!!! this message made me so happy <333 #I love our gang of Shepherds -- being with them is so warm and cozy and I'm so happy that translates! #I think MC's loss of their family and surrounding themselves with this new one has become a big theme of the game without my even realizing #it wasn't a big intention i started out with and just happened organically #but I love it so much and I'm so happy you do too <333 #this is so nice I can't stop reading :) thank you so much! #Shepherds of Haven #<3 #!!! #lovely #favorite

[quaranmine]

martyn, i know you're listening. i know you go through your tag on here. if you see this then please know it would make me extremely happy if jimmy was looped into this watcher-listener lore more. also thank you for the lore in general <3

sincerely, alyssa quaranmine

#inthelittlewood #nobody look at me! this is cringe but i have needs! he's read our posts before! 😭 #also the 'i know you're listening' wasn't intentional but that's fanastic phrasing given what i am asking for sldfjsklfjs #quaranmine maslows hierarchy of needs has 'evo-related jimmy lore' at the very top for self-fufillment

[fabcreature]

once again obsessed with how me and @nuppu-nuppu dress like polar opposites, but especially bc today our outfits were like. the exact same. but also complete opposites. which, btw, was completely unintentional, we both just happened to be wearing long skirts and sleeveless shirts with a floral pattern

#we're just sexy like that #yes my shirt also has a floral pattern it's just hard to draw bc they're roses and it's all over the place #i may have exaggerated our height difference but that also wasn't intentional i just don't draw much so i'm not good with scale #eg posts #eg arts

[vocaloid-tunes]

LHX by loop flame feat. lily please ^^

That album is pretty new, and I can't find it online anywhere (i.e., its not publicly accessible). So I'm going to pass on this one, sorry!

#anonymous #asks #like this song wasn't even documented on vocadb or any site #i spent a lot of time tracking it down #and yeah im not gonna buy an album that is pretty new from a #producer with only around 120 subscribers #and post it publicly #that just feels... morally wrong #our album posting policy is quite convoluted i understand #but basically if its not on like youtube music for free or smth #and if its very very very recent #i wont post it #i hope that makes sense #NOT MEANING ANY OFFENCE i know you have good intentions dw

[crownspeaksblog]

It's a hate crime that the show made the crew keep mispronouncing China because all i could fucking think of is the way trump says it and the way so many fucking people on the internet make fun of the way he says it whenever they bring him up.. that's a fucking hate crime!!

#i hope this wasn't intentional.. #our flag means death #ofmd #ofmd s2 #ofmd spoilers #ofmd 2x02 #👑

[ofdreamsanddoodles]

the thing about stampede wolfwood having a lollipop instead of a cigarette is that i feel like it’s kind of a notable character trait that a guy who has accelerated healing keeps putting shit in his body that harms it (and even outdrinks vash, who is like, immortal) especially when said healing factor is making it so he’ll die young anyway so the meta narrative of him replacing it for a lollipop is just giving me “it’s a metaphor hazel grace” vibes

#this is a weird thing to say. but even if it wasn't entirely intentional on nightow's part i do think its important that nick's an addict #sorry for the faul.t in our stars reference #trigun #trigun stampede #aster speaks

[steampunkedparm]

[mymarifae]

i understand that the way language arts is taught makes the whole study of literature and narratives and themes and such seem like a boring, pointless endeavor. but it is so important to me and my sanity that you pay attention to the information presented to you in those classes. because it is integral. you will never be able to approach art in any form and come to your own, unadulterated conclusions and interpretations. you will not recognize propaganda when it is being spoonfed to you. and you will not understand that yes, the messages of the media and the art you consume do in fact subtly change your psyche and that’s why you can’t just blindly consume shit

#like you know the whole argument with the blue curtains example. 'the blue curtains symbolize the character's sadness' vs #'the curtains are fucking curtains.' #<- that latter viewpoint upsets me soooo fucking much because like oh my god you are missing the point #perhaps the author or the artist or whatever did not intentionally include blue curtains to symbolize sadness #in fact it's pretty likely that it wasn't intentional at all because that's just how creating art works #the POINT is you can draw out details to support the overall themes and messages and make them stronger and come to your own conclusions #different people will hone in on different details. that's the beauty of art. #you don't need any sort of 'correct' interpretation spoonfed to you and you should not expect it #so like. yeah the curtains might just be fucking curtains but how does approaching them as a Symbol affect our understanding of the story? #does the character open the curtains to let in the sunshine - thus freeing themself from their sadness? #or do they close the curtains and hide in the dark - trapping themself in the same miserable cycles? #sometimes things are just things to populate the empty spaces of a story and you don't necessarily need to think about them #but you Can think about them and that will make your experience all the more richer. #anyway.this whole thing means like a fucking lot to me 😂 #i'm pursuing the career i am without caring about the difficulties and the dangers because i want to do what i can to be like. #a good fucking high school language arts teacher. and to properly impart the value and the IMPORTANCE of these lessons.
