Jim has to be shirtless. I think we would perish if he had to wear a shirt at the beach #sulu I imagine would be sitting in a beach chair under an umbrella reading a book :P #ANDDD Scotty and Chekhov are her for the ride OF COURSE #ok I gotta do my homework now I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF I JAVENT DONE #CURSE YOU BURNOUT!!

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

#not a shitpost #serious post #ask to tag #tw trauma #cptsd #c-ptsd #and if so we should TALK about it #because it means there are a whole group of survivors out there whose mental health regularly worsens during holidays #like i know i am most certainly not the only person who feels an undefined Dread hanging over christmas/my birthday/july 4 etc #bc too many shitty things happened during those times and now my brain is hypervigilant bc traditionally these are the Danger Times #and this seems like it would be particularly common for survivors of abusive/dysfunctional households (aka most people with c-ptsd) #because holidays/vacations typically mean 1) the whole family is together/being forced to interact #2) and undergoing external stressors e.g. travel/relatives aka 'outsiders' visiting/routines & coping mechanisms being interrupted etc #3) there is social pressure for this to be a Fun Family Bonding Experience which only highlights the cracks in the foundation #and exposes the common Everything Is Fine/We Are A Happy Family lie #4) the cognitive dissonance of feeling tired/anxious/stressed/afraid during a time when you are 'supposed' to be Making Good Memories #and then everyone is angry/tired/anxious/triggered and things boil over and something or someone goes Very Wrong #weird that i'm posting this in october when halloween is...sort of the ONLY holiday i have only good and happy feelings towards #i got lucky there #also i have positive feelings towards Labor Day but that's for socialist reasons

Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.

Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.

But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.

The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

(^insane about silly catholic dogs)

#absolutely losing my mind over this #how dare you come to my house and deliver a poignant character analysis cloaked in metaphors and symbolism #I went all day thinking about pomegranates #doing late christmas shopping? pomegranates #glazing ham? pomegranates #watching futurama with siblings? pomegranates #they're still kind of an exotic fruit where I'm from and I only got around to trying one a handful of years ago #some fruits offer themselves readily but pomegranates are hard and resistant and require a bit more specific handling #I looked up a guide and even then the kitchen counter ended up a murder scene #I've gotten better but I know some people can open them very neatly and I still haven't figured out the right technique #I love you anon I love the fact that you've clearly been rotating my silly catholic dogs in your head #and are able to put your thoughts into words with such marvelous grace and eloquence #surely it must not yearn to be eaten UNFATHOMABLE #answered #anonymous #gift art #Vasco #Machete #pomegranates are canonically one of Machete's motifs/symbols but I never thought of them from this angle #at least not this extensively

This episode was so painful (to us viewers and) for BOTH parents

Misaki realizing that they have almost everything she can’t provide Miri. from all types of clothing, to a room filled with everything the child wants, Misaki realized that this place has everything she couldn’t afford. In her eyes, this is paradise for a child like Miri. 

But if there’s anything Kazuki and Rei can’t do, it’s to provide Miri a normal life. One devoid of lies and danger. If they choose to keep this up, it will hurt them all in the long run.

#buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #rei suwa #misaki unasaka #miri unasaka #this was a wake up call for them #and honestly speaking im still not done crying over this ep #i mean in a literal sense #i can still feel the tears in my eyes #i do not know how much buddy daddies saturday i have in me anymore lads #THIS EPISODE SET ON CHRISTMAS EVE. THE DAY THEY MET (and killed miri's father) WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM MEEEEE #christmas eve is the day they met and depart #this is wicked

since they’re bringing back beep the meep for the 60th, i think they should also bring in other obscure eu characters. it could be really cool and refreshing to see them acknowledge a piece of the franchise that is so rarely mentioned. like, idk, i think this one guy could really fit in with the nuwho vibe, but idk if anyone’s heard of him his name is fitz kr

#OLEASE THEY DIDNT EVEV LET STEVE COLE ADD FITZ INTO HIS CHRISTMAS STORIES!!! #HES HIS FATHER HIS CREATOR AND THEY FORBID THIS! #(i know this because i asked him) #(he said him and 10 would have a competition over who could do the best london accent) #i just need to see him. in modern content #dear god please #doctor who #eighth doctor #fitz kreiner #edas

Vincent gets used to [Halloween Town] in small increments. Here, he blends into the environment so well that residents are surprised to find him a newcomer.

…

He speaks with the Werewolf, avoids the awe-struck vampires and listens to the band in the evening, perching on the light pole to overlook the sprawling township.

-Smoke and Mirrors Keep Us Waitin' On A Miracle by Gothams_Only_Wolf (@bamfcoyotetango ) on Ao3

I’ve been rereading some of my older Ao3 bookmarks and idk what possessed me, but I had to draw something for this one lmaooo

#kingdom hearts #ffvii #nightmare before christmas #vincent valentine #bamfcoyotetango #nathalia draws things #fic art #also i know rebirth gave us some sexy new ss of Vincent but you bet your ass im using his dirge of cerberus look as ref #tempted to pull out my ps2 and replay ... i love her ... #me: collects a bunch of refs for wolfman #also me: doesnr really use the collected wolfman refs #i forgot how dark Halloween town is 😭😭😭 the struggle was real #the visual of the vampires obsessing over the new vampire-line guy is burned into my brain #I am now burning it into yours

does adult mav canonically have pre braces TC teeth or did sometime during the early 00s maverick mitchell wear adult braces

some thoughts

1. my knee-jerk reaction was characters are not their actors so who cares let mav’s teeth be whatever you want

2. But engaging w/ this honestly i see a couple possibilities

3. possibility A is that yes mav has fucked crazy bigass teeth (see my post on ice calling him “Peter rabbit” for more on this)

4. possibility B is that part of trying to reinvent himself during their brief divorce era (post pulling rooster’s papers ca. 2002-2005) was getting adult braces and the like 4 times ice saw him during that period he was just so bewildered he didn’t think to comment on it at all

5. (can navy fighter pilots have braces?? i feel like it would immediately obviate any call sign you had and everyone regardless of rank would immediately start calling you “brace face” and that’s what they’d stencil on the side of your f-18 or w/e… Pete “brace face” Mitchell! honor is everything im not sure mav would tolerate that! you lose a LOT of social capital when you have braces as an adult unless you’re actually tom cruise! which mav is not!)

6. Possibility C mav got invisalign circa 2015 when it really started getting popular and had his retainers in during the TGM mission cause why not. that’s funny. you cannot lose a SINGLE day with Invisalign or it sets you back so much. even if you have a suicidal navy mission to drop bombs on a sovereign country ... still gotta wear your Invisalign dumbass

#ice making out with maverick ca. christmas 2015: #what the fuck. your teeth are bumpy. #Mav: o yeah that’s cause im doing that Invisalign thing 😀❤️ finally get my teeth fixed you know #ice: oh ok! :) (secretly thinking: 😭😭😭 can’t call him peter rabbit anymore😭😭😭) #makes sex less spontaneous. you reach over for your secret gay lover at night and he’s like Hold up lemme take my retainers out rq #has to drop em in his glass of denture cleaner next to the bed. maverick you’re killing the mood. #ok ice i took my Invisalign out where do you want me #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #top gun #icemav #top gun maverick #asks #ice definitely had headgear in middle school. you can see it in his eyes. #invisalign!maverick shouting at rooster: I THAVED *YOUR* LIFE! THAT’TH THE WHOLE POINTH

imagine getting framed by a car and your girlfriend, the detective on the case, doesn't believe you

#I'm still not over the christmas episode #I know my ruby seven mutual (hi <3) is still freaking out about the ruby content #but I just can't stop thinking about how nureyev is such a gay loser that his sherlock-holmes-level-detective girlfriend just assumes #he did the theft and not only assumes it but lies to everyone else about the answer because he's like 'aww babe that's so sweet' #and meanwhile nureyev is just like 'I didn't??? I didn't steal it?????' and the ruby whistles inconspicuously #the penumbra podcast #toby speaks
