#and the answer is NOTHING

[thedreadvampy]

just like. bit late to the TMA2 party here but casual reminder that if you stay on that thing where you keep looking for throughlines and Clever Thematic Links between Mechanisms albums and Magnus Archiveses I will come to your house and beat you around the head with a 2x4 painted with the words THERE WERE NINE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THOSE ALBUMS

#red said #the mechanisms #reminded of this bc hereward just came up on shuffle and i remembered the multiple people being like #WHAT IS JONNY TRYING TO SAY BY SAYING #'HE LOVED HIS FRIEND MARTIN ' HMMMMM #and the answer is nothing #first of all bc i don't think Jonny was actually involved in Hereward although i may be mistaken #but mostly bc the person who decided that Hereward's servant who he loved was called Martin was a fucking. 12th century monk. you fools. #IT'S IN THE GESTA HEREWARDI IT PREDATES TMA BY ALMOST A MILLENNIUM #actually Martin might be a Kingsley invention I've never read the gesta herewardi I'm not a nerd #but that's still almost 200 years pre tma so the point stands #ANYWAY #that's not really the point the point is that people keep acting like there's some meaning to the parallels between Bifrost and TMA speci #specifically. and that may be true but that's not some master plan by Jonny because JONNY DID NOT WRITE THE BIFROST INCIDENT #Jonny wrote HIS PARTS in the Bifrost Incident but the rest of the band wrote THEIR parts and the story was mostly not Jonny's #so no he wasn't laying some masterful seeds and no they don't take place in the same universe #and no he's not the Genius Responsible For The Mechanisms it was a COLLABORATIVE PROJECT #with at least 4 or 5 ppl cocreating the bulk of each story and all members of the band putting a lot of themselves and their ideas in #and it is real fuckin grating having it framed as Jonny's Great Work when every person in that band had a similar level of creative input #Jonny's great. so are the other 8 people who made the albums

thought about Herbert Mason's version of Gilgamesh 239 dead 184983 injured

#it's the bit #where the boat man is like what have you known of loss more than other men #and the answer is nothing #we have all lost friends or will lose friends #but still Gilgamesh exclaims #he was my friend #like it's meant to mean something #(and it does)

Idc about taylor swift and I think all private jets should be cannibalized for scrap metal but in particular I don’t think singers and bands etc should have private jets. They should only have shitty tour buses in which incalculable drama and bad decisions go down

#also have we learned nothing from buddy holly. the right answer is always not to be in the plane #buses also just offer such a better environment for musicians to be unhinged #imagine george jones shooting holes in his bus walls but this time it’s a plane :/ #sorry deeply niche reactions sdfhjkl. singers & bands should also stop contributing to ecocide obviously #skravler

There is a happiness no-one else knows: the feeling of mud between fully webbed toes; the caress of a breeze on your moist shiny skin; the warmth of the sunlight that slowly soaks in; the gentlest hum of a thought far away, as you sit and you soak and let time tick away.

#poetry #herpetology #frogs #meme #you cannot win in a game of patience against any amphibian or reptile #to me nothing signifies the difference in our minds and bodies more than that simple fact #endotherms are so bloody impatient #because we feel ourselves ticking faster than everything around us #ectotherms literally chill to the tempo of the moment #it's a marvellous and challenging thing to behold #answers by mark #princezilla

does menya use self/name pronouns (like no actual pronouns, just menya’s name) or is it just how mars makes menya talk ?

its funny you ask, i was just doodling this to clarify due to some confusion with the main charas

#laika's comet #but to answer your question yes menya is just 'menya' and nothing else! and to be fair #thats beause thats how mars has decided menya is #mailbox #my art

Been getting a lot of asks assuming that I work for Hoyoverse lately, so I thought it would be a good time to post the reminder! I'm not upset, I just don't want to cause any disappointment (or shock anyone when I swear or say something gay lol).

#not an update #unofficial #however i do have an answer to one of your questions. wanderer is five foot nothing. #this was revealed to me in a vision by dawei himself and i know it to be true #also i love both travelers but i use lumine

[dollsome-does-tumblr]

which group do you find the most absolutely delightful at bringing the lolz together??

#this poll brought to you by: i was watching wwdits last night and thinking 'DAMN this ensemble is magical' #i have also been thinking that a lot in my b99 rewatch #so now: FIGHT! #dollsome does polls #(everybody i know being influenza-ridden including future me has got me crazy for polls these past few days) #(nothing briefly saves you from reality better than a tumblr poll!) #i think my answer is wwdits but choosing between wwdits and new girl brought me suffering #and also these are all my favorite and that's why i listed them

@riddlebirdweek day 4 - crime

pretty loose interpretation of the theme but Ed's love language is a crime so it's fine

#oswald cobblepot #edward nygma #riddlebird #riddlebirdweek #btas #kinda. i didn't use a reference at all while drawing this and it shows #anywa the answer to what is he sitting on is nothing i never drew anything for him to be sitting on #but i like the candlelit dinner idea #curryart #smoking

anatomy of an assassin

#(shakily hands you altair) #vent art from the really shit nightmares ive been having lately #its supposed to represent how derealisation feels like—when you just wake up from a nightmare #and nothing feels real. your body is not yours. putting on clothes is like putting on your own skin again until you feel Normal #dont look at my open tabs of middle eastern clothing. ihad an autism moment there for pseudo-accuracy sake #inhuman altair feels again ig. will you ever be comfortable in your own skin?

there is nothing funnier to me than the critical role cast being invited on the WIRED channel, which has over ten million subscribers, and one of the questions being “are sam riegel and liam o’brien dating?”

#AND SAMS ANSWER WAS LITERALLY ‘MAYBE IF WE WERE BOTH SINGLE’ #SIR????? #YOU ARE DOING NOTHING TO CONVINCE US OTHERWISE #Sam riegel #liam O’Brien #critical role #1k

(loosely) that scene from potc... its so Them i think...

#apologies for the low quality scribbles i simply couldn't be fucked!! <3<3<3 #and they're a lil funky.... i havent drawn em in a while.... #but geez. man. oof. ough #the potential of the pining + Names ouagshashjafkanvfla #THE RITUALS ARE INTRICATE #scribble salad #franklydear #welcome home #ever since finding out how they call each other by last names my brain has been Mush over that #the layers!!! the potential for development!!! #what would the transition to first-name-usage look like #i feel like they're gonna be on first name basis Before they actually refer to each other by their first names #and maybe frank will call him eddie first.... maybe.... #leaving eddie to be the one maintaining a sort of 'professional' distance #but in the process making their interactions Way more intimate and emotionally Charged than they would've been otherwise #its about the suspense... about the 'am i allowed to know what your name feels like'.... #the 'i want nothing more than to know what my name sounds like in your voice' #receiving your mail and waiting for the time he finally allows that little distance to be closed with one simple syllable #or delivering the mail and waiting for him to open both doors w/ hand & name #both an allowance and a confirmation and an answer and a promise wrapped up in one little word #Im Just Speculating & Rambling at this point #OUGH FRANKLYDEAR <3<3<3<3 #i cant wait to watch them really go Through the Horrors while falling in love #bc when nothing is real or certain what else can you cling to but each other #so abnormal about them.... #wh has opened my eyes to the inherent romanticism & pain of mail carriers #they will always come to your door but they will also always leave #and the gifts they give you are always from someone Else #all you can hope for are those Moments where your fingers brush as they hand over letters #where the only true words between you are the ones hidden away in ink and belonging to neither of you

#critical role #cr lb #ygifs #imogen #and now I'm like did imogen have her own reason for not even going near the raven queen did she pray to her for her mother #thinking her mother was dead was gone and the goddess of death had her and it was just a little girl praying at her bedside #take care of her mother. tell her how much she misses her. she misses her so much. and the raven queen never answered #and she could find no comfort not even in a deity who brought eternal rest there was no solace. and there was no correction #did she pick a god and pray? for her mother to come back. for her father not to hate her. for someone to look at her like shes not a monste #that all this time this certified atheist to have zero interest in the gods or helping them not because she genuinely didn't care #but because once upon a time the little girl she used to be cared so much. and prayed so hard. never seeing the red veil around her #damning her from the grace of the gods #and isn't that just what a monster deserves #not even a gracious god will find you special enough you feel like nothing to them because you are nothing to them #and it's like is that true or is such an evil force preventing their light and it's like I'm chewing but I'm choking #I had to stop looking at laura's face because it was making me too craaazzzyy she'd just be like (bafta) and I'd be like (SCREAMING) #hey matt if this is a birdcall to make imogen a paladin tweet tweet beautiful man

oh my god. it just hit me. the time they met in eden, the first time in crowley's mind, he asked aziraphale a question and instead of smiting him or ignoring him, he answered. for the first time in his demonic existence, someone answered a question for him without any thought, like he deserved to hear the answer. no wonder he immediately fell in love huh

#UGHHHWHSHHSHHS #im sorry if im the last one to get this but OH MY GOD #LIKE with crowley saying 'just to be able to ask the questions' in job it probably means HE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO DIRECTLY ASK HIS QUESTIONS TO #GOD AND HE SAID IN EDEN 'they just said to go up there and make some trouble' and im sure as shit he asked questions about THAT but NOBODY #EVER ANSWERED HIM AND THEN AN ANGEL WHO SHOULD'VE SMITTEN HIM THE MOMENT CROWLEY TALKED TO HIM FINALLY ANSWERED HIS FUCKING QUESTION LIKE IT #WAS NOTHING #just imagine how must have that felt oh jesus #good omens #good omens s2 #azicrow #aziraphale #crowley #aziracrow #ineffable spouses

pedro pascal has/has had an incredibly fascinating career and I’d love to hear him talk more about what draws him to certain roles or what his process looks like but all interviewers seem to be able to do is to beg him to call himself daddy and ask him if he watches edits of himself

#like there’s nothing wrong with thinking he’s hot or making edits but good fucking god let this man talk about SOMETHING ELSE #I KNOW he has more interesting shit to say #like if he’s already answered the question 1000 times why do you need to ask it again it’s just lazy fucking journalism #if you can even consider it that!!! #the mandalorian #the last of us #Pedro pascal
