“There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.”

#little women #the lord of the rings #frodo baggins #I HAD TO OKAY #think about it though #like many of us who are disabled and/or mentally ill #they 'try not to be a trouble' to their loved ones #EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE CARRYING SOMETHING THAT'S LITERALLY KILLING THEM #and they're happy to carry that pain so no one else will have to #and they don't (often) complain even though they'd have every right to #and just like in my parallel quotes #they try to comfort their loved ones as they're ready to depart this world #and I don't think people realized just how much Frodo had done for Middle-earth until he was gone #I just...#😭#❤️#💔#(yes I know Frodo isn't shy)#(but I think the rest applies very well)

i despise ibispaint but i cant pull my art tablet out rn

#stridercest #wip #.png #because i have actual work to do. spare time doodle i guess #i've trained myself to keep my left hand on ctrl z #so i do that on my laptop with my non-art tablet out and it does absolutely fuckall #and then im like . looks down. i guess i have to learn this program. i'd rather not.#also drawing on a reg tablet the pen feels weird and soft and grotesque #it's not a stabilizer issue i used to do 0-1 stab when i used sai and it was fine i think i'm just too used to hard nibs #basically u can use ur imagination and transformify this into b&w #for ideal parallel-ing i need to add bro to the 2nd panel later but idk if i want D in the 4th so i'll think on that #ibis also does the incredibly annoying photoshop thing where it tracks your layer visibility with ctrl-z like gtfo #but at least i can autohotkey photoshop into keyboard remaps if i wanna and at least it's on pc and i don't need to use a soft stylus #i wanna parallel it more so that dirk's position in 4 is somewhat similar to bro's in 1 so i'll think on that too #u know that quote. 'you're just like your father.' yeah

killing eve // wishbone; crush - richard siken // letters to milena - franz kafka // a primer for the small weird loves; crush - richard siken

#me making killing eve content instead? it's more likely than you think #anyway this actually started out as a comparative piece between hannibal + killing eve + like minds #with the scenes where hannibal stabs will for the knife quote and alex holding nigel's body at the trainyard #for the 'you take the things you love' quote #the holy trinity of fucked up murder couples (to me. sorry louis and lestat i know you're missing from here)#BUT i absolutely could not get it to work out so i went with just ke instead #the S2 ending parallels with the S3 bridge scene will always occupy a part of my brain and THAT is the thing i could rant about for 30 mins #also not to keep talking about like minds on this post but the fact that in both the ke scenes here and that film #both couples try to kill one another after facing rejection immediately preceded by their partner killing for the first time #like the unintentional parallels between these pieces of media is insane #killing eve #villaneve #eve polastri #villanelle #oksana astankova #eve x villanelle #web weaving #quotes

Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.

I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.

I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.

It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.

#i've felt this for a while but like. fundamentally? C3 is just...uniquely not set up for terribly satisfying shipping #even the ships I do like and that get small moments are relatively background #like 80% of quote unquote ship content is like. fanon goggles overlaying either parallel play or standard battle mechanics #which is fine! I think it's a different vibe and approach than the past 2 campaigns #i think especially in character creation; self-insert or easy for new players (c1)#followed by Morally Gray Campaign; Prove We Can Replicate This Success; Serious Characters (C2); followed by Let's Get Silly With It (C3)#which is less conducive to that profound connection of c1 or c2. which is not a bad thing!#but god. if you complain about the D&D show having too much d&d plot and not enough romance...yeah pal it's d&d not a dating sim #like I enjoy when there is romance in my fantasy but it's not a requirement. there is a genre full of romance. it is called romance.#i'm also thinking about this bc I need to watch wot s2 but i've been told that the fandom has gotten weird #like wow so moiraine/siuan is not the A plot? in a high fantasy Good vs. Evil series? WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT.#getting back to this...i'm also thinking about my own life and like. i moved to where i live not long pre-lockdown #and so i'm finding myself a resident of this area for 4+ years but with weaker connections than i'd have otherwise. and that's fine!#but psychologically i feel so weird about just starting to find my place bc it's been so long even though there's a good reason #and i wonder if the cast/Hells feels the same way ie why are we only just bonding now 70 eps in and so they're hesitant #that I Waited Too Long And Now It's Awkward feeling; that I Should Be Past This By Now fallacy #which. again. i think things early on could have been done differently but that time is past you need to live in the present now.#cr tag

So I was rewatching Eddie Begins and (this isn’t going to be the most eloquent so hold on) when Eddie is drowning and all the memories are flashing before his eyes, they use the song ‘Carry You’ by Ruelle. This song is the same song they use in MayDay in season 5 when the team goes to save Bobby and May.

What makes this so cool to me is that when it comes to both scenes, both men have dealt with a reality where they thought they wouldn’t be able to have a proper family; Bobby because of losing Marcy, Bobby Jr, and Brook (and not wanting to overstep w/Athena and the kids) and Eddie because of Shannon and his parents and his own struggles of feeling inadequate and not wanting Christopher to suffer, so putting up a wall of some sorts.

So in Eddie Begins, the song swells when he has decided to keep going. He keeps going despite being at deaths door because he doesn’t just have Christopher (although thats the main part of it) , he has an entire family that he and Chris are a part of and he accepts that. That he has a family that loves him

Bobby sees May as a daughter but doesn’t necessarily expect her to see him the same way as a dad. Also, while he has gotten 100x better ever since his infamous, “We’re not a family” in season 1, he still has that doubt when it comes to his team; 2021-22 had been hard on his team, the family aspect of it especially crumbling and he has been having to hold it together. But then he’s in danger, and as the song swells, his family which had been broken reaffirms that they are family that he is a crucial member of it, and they pull him and May out (and we get the scene of May affirming that this is her dad).

And at the same time we also get Eddie, who tore himself from his family because he thought it was the right thing to do (because of overwhelming trauma about to pop off like mentos in soda) coming back to his family and realizing that is where he is meant to be.

Anyway, Bobby and Eddie being mirrors of each other makes my chest fill with emotions and they both get families and happiness and I thank god for the 9-1-1 writers we have.

#eddie diaz #bobby nash #911hiatus2023 #god bless the 911 writers #i love them so much #parallel lines #they just want a family and they had to find it but their family is goinv to be there 100%#like that lilo and stitch quote #this is my family i found it on my own. It’s little and broken but its still good. Yeah still good #anyways someone probably could say this a lot more eloquently than i could but I just needed to get it out #thank god the amptp tenatively got their heads out of their asses #now pay your freaking actors next please #911

BAD BUDDY EP 1 OUR SKYY 2 BAD BUDDY EP 1

#i don't really have a quote for this one but instead a series of observations because I Am Just Like This #this is another set of not exactly mirrored parallels #but in a really fun way #the ep 1 interaction happens after the fight where they settle the current issue between their faculties #the os2 interaction happens after the 'fight' that has set off some bad blood between the faculties #like pat mentions over lunch he can't give up the auditorium now because it's a matter of pride #not his pride but his faculty's #the first punch hit pat because it was the first time patpran had been conspiring together in 3 years #the new one happened because pran is focused on the work they both have to do #'it was not the time to be lovey-dovey' because he was thinking work #(also why he pushes pat away from the mosquito net kiss)#(if they start being lovey dovey now they're not going to get anything done and pran knows it)#the first one ends with pat walking away after a bit of teasing from pran after they share a moment #the new one ends with pat walking away after a bit of teasing from pran because their moment was ruined #but the one similarity #'happy now?' both of them ask #and both times the answer is 'kind of. but it's not enough. not yet'#parallels my beloved #bad buddy #bad buddy brain rot #bad buddy series #our skyy 2 #our skyy bad buddy #kk.gifs #pdribs #uservid

Can we pls talk about how this Milkvan scene and this Byers brothers scene play right ONE AFTER THE OTHER

(And that's also the scene where Jonathan tells Will that Lonnie's trying to get him to like normal things and that he shouldn't like things just because people tell him he's supposed to)

#like #smth smth about both mike and jon showing el and will things they didn't know about #in milkvan's case the couch and in jonwill's case the clash #and will and mike have similar patterns on their t shirts #idk ok just MILKVAN FAMILY PARALLELS EVERYONE #like it wouldn't really be that big of a deal if this scenes didn't play one right after the other #and both of them are instroduced by mike riding his bike and jon driving his car #🤨#'will you be like my brother' yeah el pretty much sldkd #that quote haunts me #anyways jesus can i pls start making the posts longer than the tags #byler #anti milkvan #anti mileven #milkvan #milkvan is bones #milkvan slander #byler proof #byler theory #milkvan family parallels #byler parallels #jonwill #byers brothers #will byers #mike wheeler #el hopper #jonathan byers #stranger things #mike wheeler i know what you are

best byler proof is rewatching 3x03 and 4x01 back to back!!!! Thank me later!!!

#stranger things #byler #to be clear #i'm not saying these are direct parallels literally #i'm saying that #in s3 mike went from refusing to play d&d with his best friend #to in s4 mike bumming in the halls asking absolute strangers to play d&d...#oh how the turntables #like dude is DESPERATE to have a semblance of what he didn't even realize was an option until he lost it #I know we all laugh at Mike's #I hate high school #quote because it's so unserious #but in the context of mike's arc over the seasons #specifically between s3-4...#it says a lot #mike went from:#I mean what did you think really?#that we were never gonna get gfs?#that we were just gonna sit in my basement all day and play games for the rest of our lives???#to:#I HATE HIGH SCHOOL!??#THAT SAYS IT ALL #ITS SO UNSERIOUS AND YET IT SAYS EVERYTHING #also #will's: WHERES DUSTIN RN?#answer currently: running around the hawkins middle school looking for erica to be their d&d sub #also dustin flicking off the phone aligned with the dub of the fight in mikes basement kind of slaps #ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU DONT LIKE GIRLS #'60 minutes begs to differ--'#WEAR A HELMET also killed me i had to

I also think the word “parallels” needs to be taken away from some people because first of all, half the things you’re referring to as parallels aren’t even parallels, and second of all, the parallels you’ve connected in ur heads are not the grand evidence of something you simply wanted to happen being “meant to happen” or heaven forbid “guaranteed to happen” you think they are. And finally, it is not bad writing when a parallel you’ve fully made up never comes to fruition in the way you wanted it to.

#for instance there was a compilation going around on Twitter with all the times Roy kneeled down for keeley #and MY takeaway was gosh they’re cute and fuck Roy looks good on his knees #but every quote retweet was talking about the writers fumbled the baG #because CLEARLY him kneeling down was one big parallel that was SUPPOSED to culminate in him PROPOSING #like you all do realize you just fully made that up right……#it’s fine to say you wanted him to propose but it’s ridiculous to say the writers were ever actually setting that up #the st fandom is also extremely guilty of this btw

Woke up late after having a flu shot fever to see that apparently tumblr is imploding and y'all I am TOO tired for this rn

#i mean yeah it seems like a slow far off death #alas. we can migrate to a different site. the world wont end #honestly not even gonna bother exporting my content #as someone with an avid professional interest in web archiving #yall it takes SO long and is SO much work and it doesnt even really capture anything dynamic #like Tumblr #omg just thinking abt it. absolutely the fuck not worth it #i just gotta start copying out all my silly little quotes by hand and like. pasting them to the walls. idk #go old school #mostly i just dont want to lose my friends!!!#and discord is fine but also i find mass servers very overwhelming and im bad at conversation #tumblr has the parallel play aspect i rlly enjoy #no pressure to engage just like hanging out together #anyway. im wfh today i have to go back to my database work
