(When asked if the slap was real and unscripted) "Yes. Yes He did! We only did one take, he warned me it was coming, but Jeremy isn't the kind of actor to do something without a genuine intention!" — DAVID OAKES

#they're both crazy i love them!! this moment is very special to me though... #that little bit occurs when he smiles at juan...having seen a glimpse of himself in his son...just before slapping his face #he tells him to take vanozza to the wedding...granting permission to fvc|< sancia as he is aware of how h0rn% he is #he's fond of that about him bc it's exactly how rodrigo was when he was juan's age before he became ambitious...always chasing women #he saw his reflection and then He Saw His Reflection...and it's why he slapped him after the smile...rodrigo and his self loathing issues #everytime he sees himself in each of his sons he becomes angry. like he loves them both dearly yet made them feel inadequate and insecure #forever obsessed with this show and its dynamics #the borgias #juan borgia #jeremy irons #david oakes #perioddramasource #perioddramaedit #cinemapix #tvarchive #tvedit #filmtvcentral #weloveperioddrama #userstream #by jen

why are you victim shaming people who self depreciate?

Because im twisted and evil and i tie people who self deprecate to train tracks while twiddling my long black mustache and going "nyehehe"

#if this is about that old post of mine that was a self reflection of my own self deprecating tendencies #and how the tendency to self criticize can make others feel bad as well. its not victim shaming it clearly just made you feel attacked #even though that was not the intention #anyways i prommy this is not that serious dont send weird little anons like this its strange. good day

Sooooo I updated my spamton design... he looks different now!! I wanted to lean a bit more into canon with his appearance :^D also included here are some doodles of my very self indulgent lighter!arrfs au (uncolored ones are roughly a month old so my design changes had not yet been reflected in them.. but you can't really tell since his design was altered so slightly)

#spamton #spamton g spamton #deltarune #oc #original character #fursona #self insert #<- giggles #i thank everyone so much who has complimented my design for him in the past..... #..even though he looks a little different now i hope you still like him! #i wanted his look to reflect canon a tiny bit more purely bc i think he looks very handsome that way :^) #my art #oc tag #arrfs #lightner arrfs au #i promise this au has more in it than these two flirting lol i just happen to draw that a lot for comfort purposes

the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

#not sure how much. what's the word. bond? involvement? not experience. closeness? anyone in the team has with any of these cultures #but i recall learning lead writer is indigenous in some way & heavily self-inserts as artemy [like.

hi sorry for reposting my own philip wittebane takes again but im having a moment. im having some kind of a moment because of rotating these in my mind. i hope they haunt you like they haunt me ^_^

#toh #my wittebanes #adddna #compilation post #ITS ABOUT THE TRAGIC MISUNDERSTANDING. ITS ABOUT THE REFUSAL TO SELF REFLECT. ITS ABOUT LOATHING CHANGE SO MUCH #YOUD DESTROY WHAT LITTLE YOU HAVE LEFT BECAUSE YOU ARE SO DESPERATE FOR IT NOT TO EXIST IN ANY OTHER FORM. #ITS ABOUT LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND DISHONESTY. ITS ABOUT A DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP TAKEN TO AN EXTREME

kiryuu sibling stasis post-32 is so interesting to me. nanami tries to leave and is (temporarily but also, crucially, violently) prevented from doing so by touga and akio. after this experience she puts distance between herself and them: she leaves touga’s phone in the car, she resigns from the student council (though she dons her old uniform still), she repeatedly dismisses and undermines the authority of the rose code, of end of the world, of akio, of touga. but she’s still in ohtori, isn’t she? uncomfortable with the idea of leaving, uncertain if it’s really possible. she tried before, and it hurt her. deeply. it’s so interesting to me, nanami’s agency and how she limits her exertion of it after 32, when she realises it for what it is. contrast that with touga, who accepts this weird stalemate between them, who is, really, uninterested in having any relationship of any kind with nanami if he can’t gain something from her. he’s very passive with her after 32, compared to the passivity he’d always feigned towards her before in order to stoke reactions from her and then exploit them. i was thinking about how touga has always been able to sever his relationship with nanami, but chosen not to; first out of a sense of obligation (‘we should live to help each other’) then a realisation of how that could be exploited. i was thinking about how nanami has never realised her ability to leave, in part because it is limited by touga and the harm he does her. i was thinking about the desperation and confusion akio calls out to anthy with as she leaves. i was thinking about how different that is to the kiryuus’ strange semi-breakdown; touga doesn’t want or need nanami, and nanami might love her brother but she cannot trust him or feel safe around him, doesn’t want to see him anymore; she’s itching to leave, and just a little scared (you know, because last time she tried that her brother assaulted her), and he’s not doing anything because ignoring her means he doesn’t have to deal with the emotions of her leaving or staying. something something gendered power dynamics something something tragic siblings

#local kiryuu sibling enjoyer has thoughts about them #i wrote this like three days ago but it’s getting posted now i have to speak my truth #touga loves a bit of inaction #nanami doesn’t but what the fuck else is she gonna do?? be brave? she tried that already #and she WILL try it again and i don’t think touga will try particularly hard to stop her #i think he might try a little but in doing so he’ll just become more aware of how much he doesn’t want to do that #and is only doing it bc of a vague sense of obligation to a perspective on life that he’s already questioned a la utena #im just. i have so many feelings about them. i bet none of you were aware of that fact already #i am once again wondering: does touga love nanami? what does that mean for each of them? #and im concluding: i really don’t think he does #i think he’s felt obligation to her and turned bitter towards that emotion and her in turn #i think he has no idea how to feel about her so he ignores the problem and exploits HER feelings as he thinks he understands them #until he realises that he doesn’t and has to deal (a little bit) with the ramifications of that #touga and anthy when nanami makes them self reflect. or swagever. the 32 way. neither of them would ever admit this but it’s true #dais.txt #her tragedy her triumph

I have a question about the pearls - I thought they were just an illusion, but Vanja keeps talking about their effect on people, especially Emeric, who often seems to have his legs swept out from under him.

Do the peals have some effect beyond an illusion of beauty that makes people take notice? Emeric implies they don't work on him the way Vanja expects/they do for others. What do they do to him? What does he see?

So there are two concurrent things playing out with the pearls! Spoilers under the cut.

1: The pearls don't just physically transform the wearer, they essentially are souped-up pretty privilege. If you are romantically attracted to women, you'd have a crush on the wearer. If you aren't romantically attracted to women, you'd want to be their companion, confidante, accomplice. It doesn't override every other emotion, it just puts a thumb on the scale.

2: Our junior prefect has two things working for him. First, he has the glasses that show enchantments, so he knows what effect Vanja expects the pearls to have on him. And second, he's demi, so at first, all he gets is the inclination to be friends. In the first act, he's playing into Vanja's expectations so she underestimates him; in the second, he's mostly neutral to her in the pearls. In the third act, you can actually pinpoint when he's officially caught feelings, because Vanja puts on the pearls and is like "wow he looks like he got run over by a mack truck, never seen him do that face before............. WELP IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME SURELY."

#little thieves #this is partially what makes vanja a fun narrator #doing crimes? meditative. healing #self reflection? accursed. despicable

"fetishizing gay men" and then its a trans man drawing cute boys in dresses. gun to your head why do you think men being feminine is inherently bad and demeaning ? answer quickly

#like genuinely brother if you see a trans man drawing some anime boy like a girly little fag and youre disgusted by it like #maybe thats a you problem and you need to do some self reflection tbh #neon.txt

one thing thats so interesting about being a vegetarian is you get to hear all about everyones hypothetical activism that they care about very deeply when talking specifically about your diet and why it's stupid, but literally will never bring up ever again in any other context

#good idea generator #ppl will honest to god hit me with a 'well what about the dmg caused by plant agriculture' when i say im vegetarian for the environment #oh please tell me more about all the things youre doing to try to minimize your impact on the environment #and all the things you know about agriculture. in your infinite wisdom of [checks notes] doing the exact same thing you always have #or is the argument that because individual choices make little difference that we shouldnt even try or talk about it in case its annoying? #its not necessarily that these people arent making good points also #its just that when you have these same conversations 75 times over and over and over and OVER and get nowhere #it starts to become obvious most people learn these arguments in order to avoid genuinely interrogating their eating practices #either on an individual or communal level. am not asking you to cut out meat or go vegan (not a realistic demand of everyone on earth) #but i AM asking that you please do some self reflection on why the idea makes you so defensive #and about what exactly is so terrible of the idea that we may need to produce and consume less meat #i thought about 75 disclaimers i could put on this post but honestly if they become necessary it would prove my point

Me, on my ADHD med: this can’t be working. I still have memory problems and ‘bad habits’.

Me off the meds because of storm and PA delays: oh. lol. Nvm.

#help meeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAUGH #adhd #adhd problems #adhd meds #tw: medication #I’m like #I’m #I’m unteathered my friends #It’s so bad #I feel Bad™️ #thanks to bad memory a delayed PA and a fuckin storm and then Sunday and then closed for Monday holiday #I have to wait until Tuesday #I have two left #rationing them for when I need to work #which can’t be today with the high winds and potentional power outage #so I’m just sitting here shaking and loosing it a little bit #anyway #if you made it this far #I wish you a peaceful weekend #maybe some light reflection on allowing yourself to do things you enjoy without self sabatoge #it’s ok to not be ok #but it’s even better if sometimes #you are the person you need #and you are kind to yourself

Neil Gaiman writing Sandman, probably:

And then he made Dream the sulkiest, saddest most frustrating yet somehow lovable character of all times and made it all of our collective problem 🤷🏻‍♀️

#the sandman #sandman #sandman comics #sandman netflix #dream of the endless #lord morpheus #dreamling #neil gaiman #and I wouldn’t have it any other way #like comic dream frustrates me so much sometimes #for real I want to slap him sometimes #but also give him a hug and tell him to just self reflect and maybe change a little
