BETTER CALL SAUL!

#this was mostly a test run on procreate dream! #its pretty good but it has a LOT of room for improvement #which i know the developers have been working on since the app is still technically in beta! #but hey i did this in like 3 weeks while working a full time job and also working on other art so #its pretty damn powerful software #good shit if you use procreate already!! #literally the biggest flaws rn are a lack of selection tool an undo/redo button and #and the app itself has a tendency to crash or slow down if theres “too much” going on #like i had to delete all but one of the preloaded animations just so the app would run smoother while i worked #so its still very clearly in its early phase but its good and im excited to see what the developers will do with it #ok review over #better call saul #saul goodman #bcs #jimmy mcgill #breaking bad #animation #brba #video #procreate dreams

I wonder when the Noldor looked around at their dwindling numbers and realized that they were dying faster than they could ever keep up with.

#tolkien #silmarillion #I actually have a lot of feelings about this #because the noldor that come over from Valinor are pretty much all you get for the first age’s long war #birth rates are also in the basement if they exist at all #elves don’t have children during war #even if the siege of Angband is peaceful enough to relax that custom #I still don’t think you would have many children #elves have known war before - we know they did before the great journey #but it’s also got to be sobering to realize that your casualty rates are literally unsustainable #(like so #the house of finwë probably isn’t a representative sample of casualty rates #but damn the big picture still can’t be good #we have one grandchild of finwë who survives to the second age out of fifteen and that’s a very very bad rate) #what does that DO to a people group #to go from immortal and undying #to accepting that your whole clan is getting whittled down chunk by chunk #when did they start realizing that even if they beat Morgoth #they wouldn’t recognize the survivors

When Steph and Cass get married they don’t take the last name Brown (Daddy Issues™️) or Cain (Daddy Issues Prime™️) or even Wayne (Steph absolutely REFUSES to become a Wayne nosirree), but a secret fourth thing (Gordan).

Listen.... Trafalgar Law is like Opposite Pick Me Girl.

Evidence:

He stole Doffy's whole look down to the shirtless sluttiness, feather coat and the earrings.

He COPIED DOFFY'S ACTIVATION METHOD. How "notice me, senpai!!" is THAT!?

Like Doflamingo, he acts as though your attempts at torturing him are absolutely precious.

Law straight up based his jolly roger on Doffy's. Like it's not even kinda subtle. (Not that Law does subtle. Which is weird for someone trying SO HARD to be dark, mysterious, and edge-y as Kikoku. )

Trafalgar spent years of his life travelling around the world, gaining notoriety and power, putting into place a series of intricate moving parts that all had to come together in just the right way all so Doflamingo would notice him and remember his face forever.

Law: Please, Young amaster-sama! Oh, please pick me!

Law: To kick your pathetic, subhuman ass.

[Thanks to @revlischarm who gave me this idea.]

#Law is a TERRIBLE pick me girl #it's never a good sign when they ask you to pick them and also your own coffin (assuming there are any recognizable remains) #Doffy-sama notice me! #I want you to look me in the eyes when I killed you #guys were were two weeks away from Law's obsession getting so bad he'd atatt wearing sunglasses at night #Thank goodness Zoro was there yo distract him aftwr Dressrosa #boy was floating in a empty void; no idea what to do with himself #“He was my future; I spent my whole life looking for him... wanting him.” #“bleeding out in my hands begging for mercy while I spit in his face and promised I'd show him the same mercy he showed Cora-san” #*everyone takes a solid three step back from Law* #*well everyone but Zoro and Robin. They're into this.* #one piece #trafalgar d. water law #trafalgar law #donquixote doflamingo #absolutely fabulous #evil never looked so good #though not so much evil as hell bent on revenge is pretty damn sexy too #all of this was for you Cora-san! #I did all this - risked my life and limbs - just to die in battle to honor your sacrifice and get you the revenge you deserve! #Oh #Oh Law baby #that's not what Cora wanted for you AT ALL #you sweet little revenge muffin

Hello!

If you're not too busy, would you mind listing some of the things you think count as death flags for Mr. Spender?

There's the obvious fact that he's the "old" mentor to group of young protagonists, but what else do you think would count?

OHH BOY ok so I'd think I'm a crackpot for this but since we're talking about Zack "Foreshadowing" Morrison. I have some thoughts

No harm in leading with the (chronologically) first thing that jumped out at me:

This one IMMEDIATELY made me antsy whenever I came back to it after my initial read, and considering Zack has referred to it on twitter in the past as one of their favorite jokes it's definitely not been forgotten about.

Second, the sheer amounts of near-misses, jokey or not, of Spender narrowly avoiding specifically lightning

Again, not much, but it's weird that it happened thrice, latter two of which had real gravitas rather than an one-off joke.

And third, Spender himself. He's repeatedly shown himself to be kind of a self sacrificing idiot, as well as prideful to a fault. Granted, it's both him and Mina trying to take on all the responsibility of saving Mayview and its inhabitants from their fate.. But Spender is exactly that right measure of doesn't-value-himself-enough (chest footprint aftercare or lack thereof), having an obscene amount of power (enables his loner act + pride) and poor judgement that has the capacity to put him at great risk. And it has!

Spender has not only shown low enough self-esteem to view himself as the de-facto scapegoat for the safety of the town, but also prideful enough to make very bad calls that end up in people, often himself, hurt (COUGH FORGE INCIDENT COUGH)

This is all conjecture, but it's definitely enough to make me worried about him :') Even if all this doesn't mean he'll necessarily die he's definitely getting (even more) seriously injured at some point. I love the guy but he's so far doing a horrible job of convincing me he wants to live bad enough to circumvent at least that

#not art #admin answers #paranatural #pnat #richard spender #pts-fic-notes-and-blog #before i continue on with tag ramble i just want to say tysm for leaving an ask! #none of my friends read this so ive been stewing on these thoughts for some months and i loved finally sharing them #this isn't exactly proof but the hijack possession seemingly being the final nail in the coffin for his and isabel's relationship. #idk it feels significant to me. thats one more tether to support kinda gone. someone who knows him well enough to know he's unwell #he seems not exactly content but fr incapable of not burning bridges as he is now. and considering how rashly he acts he REALLY needs those #to not do stupid shit all the god damn time with no buffer other than Lucifer. who for his measured approach to rick's hotheadedness #has honestly shown himself to be pretty lenient and kinda bad at controlling spender's more (self) destructive tendencies? so he dont count #to be clear i love spender to bits but he is dumb as rocks and has all the self preservation of a fruit fly. it needs to be said #also the lightning man... idk its WEIRD like especially on the reread its the thing that most consistently threatens him! it repeats #sure he gets chewed by a bat and banged up by forge but?? he somehow always comes back to lightning. catnine has it out for him #its something i didnt even really put together until i continued reading the flashback chapter AFTER getting this ask and went OHHHGNHF #which the only reason lightning is such a non issue is lucifer's powers. which belong to his sunglasses and not to the spirit in him #so its not like they can't be taken away he's just got a really good excuse for having those on all the time #TAGS GETTING SO LONG. ANYWAYS. i hope this is comprehensible lol

Quick question: what is steeplechase?

basics out of the way first: steeplechase is the latest campaign in the adventure zone, a comedy/adventure tabletop rpg podcast by the McElroy brothers and their dad. griffin, travis and justin are the same ones who do 'my brother, my brother and me' if youve heard any of the clips from that floating around.

its a really fun campaign bc its set in a futuristic theme park that got so huge its basically its own city, with a large criminal underground. the game itself is centred around building rep in the underground and pulling heists in various themed sections of the park (one of them is themed on nostalgia, one of them is themed on detective noirs, one is a love island style dating show).

i think its nearing the end of the run now, most of the eps are out already and ive really enjoyed it! the setting is fantastic, the player characters are some of my faves and the npcs are all memorable. id actually recommend it to anyone who enjoys that sort of genre

#i dont like feeling like im pressureing ppl to watch/listen to stuff so im not gonna say GO GO GO LISTEN #but if you or anyone else likes that kind of setting and genre id give it a try #although if im being 100% real id say if its your first time listening to /any/ adventure zone campaigns ever then id say there are better- #-ones to start off with than steeplechase #not bc steeplechase is bad but bc steeplechase is the first time justin has ever dm'd #and he definitely finds his feet pretty damn fast but i also think the first episode setup for taz amnesty or taz earthsea goes a bit- #-smoother for a first time listener #if anyone out there is looking to get into the adventure zone as a whole id recommend starting with either amnesty or the original balance- #- arc which is a little messier but it /is/ where it all started and its still very good #taz #tazs #taz steeplechase

In The Roses of Pieria

dark fantasy romance

a woman takes a well-paying but suspicious sounding job as an archivist working for a mysterious estate owner, and finds herself translating numerous never-before-seen artifacts from her specialty field on an ancient civilisation

as she begins to translate romantic letters between two ancient figures and unravel more about them, her frustration over the knowledge being kept secret and confusion over what the letters reveal grows

but between that and her developing feelings for her employer’s assistant, she finds out that getting to close to these secrets is dangerous

lesbians, vampires, fey

#In The Roses of Pieria #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #sapphic books #oughhhhhh yeah this was pretty good! #it’s such an interesting mix of elements and I think it pulls it off pretty well. But also definitely won’t work for everyone. #I definitely was most intrigued by the fungal fey but also knew going in that that was a more minor aspect. #However seems like it’ll be much more significant as the series goes on so am interested in that #the fungi fey stuff is like. hmm mycelial hivemind vibes. which i like the idea of #It starts off very slow and atmospheric and then the danger and action creeps up all of a sudden #and I can only assume that the series will continue with the higher stakes #if you like the idea of timewar but want it to be more grounded narratively (and also from the POV of mere humans reading the letters #not just focused on them) you might like this?? but also there’s a lot of other things going on. so #I will say…plot hole? I am confused how V needed C to translate the letter to send to A #when the whole point of C’s job is that A can’t read the ancient language anymore. did i miss something there lol? #also damn we got a furry but then she immediately lost her furry abilities forever. rip.

there’s a special place in hell for people who take the time and go through the effort of leaving negative comments on fanfics, like-- what is wrong with you, what is LEGITIMATELY wrong with you? I’m so angry and so devastated on behalf of everyone who has been harrassed like this and who is going through something like this right now. There’s no excuse for shitty behavior - if you intentionally leave a hurtful comment on something someone created and put out there for other people’s enjoyement, for free, after spending probably HOURS if not WEEKS or MONTHS or longer on it, you’re an incredibly shitty, disgusting, miserable waste of space of a person be better

#this is just unbelievable behavior #I cannot imagine what kind of a person uses their time and energy to spread negativity when they could be doing something good instead #like why I seriously don't get it #it is so horrible and so heartbreaking and makes me so so damn angry that people are bullied like this to the point that they stop doing #what they clearly have enjoyed doing until this point #it's so wrong and people who cause this - you are the worst kind of person #but be better is also aimed at myself because I've slacked on spreading the love myself by commenting on the fics I love #like pretty much every single codywan piece Glimmer ever wrote #I always tell myself “I'll do it later when I'm not busy with schoolwork etc” but later might be months later or it might be too late #so I'll do better myself and I'll start commenting more even if it's just a short quick note its better than not gettin around to it at all #because fanfic authors deserve all the love in the world #fanfics have made my life infinitely better and the authors need to know how much they've affected my life #and how much their fics mean to me #so I'll do better as well #text post #star wars #codywan #YES I'll tag those because it is relevant

I have mixed feelings about Wally possibly dying in Lights Out- cause like he's my absolute favorite, my baby!!!! ... but then i also think that him dying after watching over everyone as they slept is just *chefs kiss* He's finally getting rest!!! lmao

Also i wanna see Barnaby go apeshit hehe

oh i missed this ask! hm. this is funny

#this is very funny actually! #externally im mildly amused #inside im wheezing and pounding my fist on the ground #'hes finally getting rest' lmaooooo #imagine. wally in lights out getting to rest. ahaha thats a good one #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #going through the inbox to see what im purging and what im keeping for later and what i can answer Now #also ill just say it now im Pretty Damn Confident On Lights Out's 'story' #i have made what i think are final decisions on what i'd like it to be and where i want it to go #arcs and who dies and who doesn't and how and why and- #just. things. #so all of my previous hemming and hawing is now Yeah This Is What Happens.

A big part of why Zack's death hits so hard (for me at least) is that Zack is someone who cares so so so much for people and managed to get so many people to care about him in return. Angeal cared for him enough to the point he prefered to die by Zack's hands over anyone else, and entrusted him with a precious family heirloom. Even Sephiroth (prior to the Nibelheim incident) very clearly has somewhat of a soft spot for Zack, being one of the few people he's shown deliberately being nice to.

Even the turks care for him! Cissnei is obvious as she and Zack formed a pretty personal connection throughout crisis core, but even Tseng clearly enjoys his company and often plays along with his jokes and antics.

I'm not gonna dig deep into his relationships with Aerith and Cloud (that's for another post if I ever feel like it), but they are also so so so important to him.

And, personally, what makes this all even worse, is that Zack probably knew he'd die by Shinra's hands eventually. By this point, he already laments the situation he's in, being stuck working for a company he KNOWS is massively corrupt and doesn't care for anything but their own agenda, and being unable to do anything about it. Acting out and rebelling against them doesn't work (as proven by Genesis and Angeal) and he can't just leave and be done with it (Zack knows too much for Shinra to just let him go, and even if he COULD leave, it wouldn't change anything)

But, at the very least, his death wasn't meaningless. Zack managed to save one of the people he loved the most, and that person then went on to do what Zack couldn't. It's all because of Zack that Cloud is not only alive, but also has the strength necessary to move forward.

Zack, man.

#like. i need you all to understand that zacks ability to connect and bond with all kinds of people #is a HUGE part of what makes him such a good yet tragic hero #and its also VERY IMPORTANT TO ME #that you all understand that zack very likely had accepted his death a long time ago #zack isnt shocked or fearful when he dies #hes at peace #because he knew this would happen eventually #and because he managed to at the very least save cloud first #also uh. i havent really revisited crisis core in a WHILE so some of the details might be off but. YOU GET THE POINT #god i love zack so much #i want him to live but also. narratively speaking him dying is. pretty damn important #ueueueueeueue #zack fair #final fantasy #final fantasy vii #ff7 #ffvii #final fantasy 7 #crisis core #final fantasy 7 crisis core #final fantasy vii crisis core #ff7cc #ffviicc #xander rambles
