rust cohle, true detective (2014) / volition from disco elysium (2019)

#this is what i am always thinking when i see the final scene with marty <3 #and “you can keep me on this earth. be vigilant. i love you” but completely out of context and re: sophia & rust during his 'last' moments. #rust cohle #true detective #mine

YOU — “Hey, be honest with me. Do you *really* think you can turn this place into a dance club?”

ACELE — The girl looks at you for a long moment, mouth pressed into a thin line. Her pocket bulges with the tape recorder and contact mic.

Slowly, she casts her gaze around the church— its cracked ribs and crooked spine, the mound of snow piling in through the broken window like a scab over an open wound. Somewhere in the rafters is a maw threatening to swallow all of it.

SHIVERS — This place will not even survive the coming spring.

SHIVERS — AND YET.

ACELE — Her gaze continues around the chapel, taking in the lights and the dust motes tremoring to the thunderous beat. In one corner, Soona looks up from her work, her foot tapping along to the music. Opposite her, Noid and Tiago seat themselves on one of the church’s ribs, carving figures into the wood and talking in low voices. And in the center of it all, Andre is dancing, face flushed with exertion, arms flailing to the beat as Egg Head cheers him on. They pay no mind to the doom hanging over their heads.

Acele’s eyes linger on Egg Head’s beaming face for a moment before they return to you. She smiles wryly and shrugs her shoulders.

“I don’t know. But it would be pretty cool, don’t you think?”

EMPATHY — She wants it so badly. It takes all of her courage just to dare to hope for it.

YOU — “…You were right.”

ACELE — “About what?”

YOU — “People are sweet.”

ACELE — Her smile widens. Above her head, in the rafters, a two millimeter hole in the world pauses its growth for an imperceptible moment.

bbc: Some sweet #Silvacre content for your FYP ❤️

#silvacre #suranne jones #rose leslie #vigil #the bbc making a silvacre fan edit was a pleasant surprise :) #i saw the streaming numbers for vigil 2 were very good (understatement) #which makes an s3 at least a possibility #if they can write a story suranne and rose would sign on for #i'm counting on what suranne said that the continuation of the love story is a big part of what brought her back #the series does a good job creating dramatic tension and conflict within a happy relationship that doesn't involve cheating or one dying #if they do a 3rd season i hope that continues #i mean the series started with amy in the worst possible place emotionally and psychologically so surely they wouldn't go there again #s2 with its wlw mlm solidarity/parallel storyline and giving us more insight into amy and how far she's come since s1 #on top of all the other things i liked this season (which i enjoyed quite a bit in addition to the ship) #at heart it's very critical of the british government and military/war machine and some reviews seem to have missed that part #anyway i'm pleased as punch that a prestige bbc drama has two women in love at its center and a lead as compelling as amy #and that it's pulling in the numbers even without the submarine and claustrophobia (admittedly a cool premise) #keep making the fanvids bbc social media team we appreciate you #queue

Begging people to learn that fetishization is a specific form of dehumanization that sees the target primarily as a (often sexual) tool for somebody to achieve their own goal. A person who fetishizes somebody will often not recognize somebody's humanity because they are primarily focused on their own desires.

Fetishization is not when somebody likes a person (especially a marginalized group). Fetishization is not when a person in an out group sees a marginalized person as an equal and appreciates them as an equal. It is not dehumanization for somebody to treat a marginalized person like an autonomous person who can make their own decisions.

It leaves a very bad taste in my mouth when people assume that the only reason you can be "into" a marginalized person is that you want to dehumanize or ultimately abuse them. It sends the message that our marginalization is preventing us from "truly" being seen as a person from anybody. You aren't placing the blame on systems of power, you are punishing marginalized people for their marginalization.

#politics #fetishization #i find it ESPECIALLY frusterating when people treat 'dont EVER like [x group]' as activism #i know so many people are hyper-vigilant of fetishization because of how dehumanizing it is and how many are traumatized from it... #...but not every instance of us being treated like an intrinsic equal will be because of fetishization #saw somebody saying that somebody shouldn't be open about liking trans men and that we trans men... #...should 'love ourselves more' when trans men were like 'that's awesome for you i'm glad you're open about it'... #...yes i have met many a chaser who made me feel like a worthless piece of wank material... #...but that was THEIR choice to treat me like that. it was THEIR fault they treated me like that... #...and that is by no means not the fault of Some Guy who sees their fellow man as an intrinsically equal man to his own... #...you can denounce fetishization without implying that marginalized people are broken goods who need to never be touched or seen

@belabellissima's tags on this post deserve a post of their own, i—

#muffled screaming YOU GET IT #i think the ghost watched jude pull the riskiest gambles and repeatedly come out on top— #bloodied but with what she wanted—and was like. oh shit. she's not just a spoiled gentry kid #so taryn shows up and it's like. hm. yikes. there might be two of them #i'm not sure i subscribe to the idea that he fell for her while she was married to locke #(i think his feelings toward locke had to be so ugly that taryn would've gotten wrapped up in that at least a bit) #but i do think he never underestimated her #and had he not been otherwise occupied. i think he immediately would've noticed her posing as jude #i know holly is trying to telegraph romantic interest at the end of qon with him watching her #but i read it more like “you're a potential bomb that could detonate at any moment; there's no way in hell i'm taking my eyes off you” #she knows his TRUE NAME #he owes her his life #but i think that level of suspicion and vigilance would very naturally become fascination and admiration #she's lovely and kind but crafty and underhanded all at the same time #she's just human enough to make him ache. but she's just fae enough to accept him #oops this got long #anyways bela LOVE your tags thank u for giving me thoughts to chew on #tfota #the folk of the air #taryn duarte #taryn x the ghost #tcp

🌈 Free the gays from weird heteronormative top/bottom discourse 2k24!!! 🖤 (And by extension, the dom/sub associations that go with it!! Which are also a completely separate though sometimes overlapping concept!!!)

Write your violent angry murder blorbo getting railed!! Make that sweet shy angel baby a top! Make them both verse and throw the concept out altogether because it’s inherently a bit silly to start with!! ✨ And your personality in the rest of your life often has nothing to do with your bedroom preferences anyway! ✨

Or don’t! Do whatever you want because it’s fanfiction! 🥰✨ Write them with whatever dynamics or lack thereof that you want—that’s the point! And no one can tell you what is and isn’t okay to write in your own fics!! 🎊 They're fictional characters, have fun!!!!!

Happy new year fellow fandom gays!!! Go wild!

#sincerely #a real life gay who has been repeatedly mislabeled #by people who will never be in the bedroom with me to find out anyway 😌 #and who enjoys representing these kinds of internal dichotomies in my own writing #maybe my violent anger blorbo just wants someone to take care of HIM for once #maybe he wants nothing more than to be fragile and soft and never could be before now #maybe he wants someone to pin him down and fuck him silly and fuzz out his constantly over-vigilant brain #MAYBE HE JUST LIKES TAKING IT UP THE ASS #there are any number of wonderful and fun and awesome reasons #to explore unexpected dynamics in smut fics #and i encourage everyone who wants to to pursue those desires without shame!! #and without fear!! #maybe my sweet soft baby boy blorbo just wants to make his partner feel good and relax for once #maybe he loves so deeply that he can only express it through teeth and ropes #maybe he just finds the fantasy of control super sexy in a world where he otherwise has none #embrace your wildest most “ooc” smut dreams!!!! #because your fanfics are first and foremost for YOU #and don't let anyone else's opinions influence you otherwise 🖤

[volivolition]

if i do not make like. a comic? a ficlet? even a drabble of a piece about voli making that 7:30 vow with harry i will probably perish.

i think about this all the time.

VOLITION - "You'll wake up in the morning. I understand it's hard, to get out of bed. To do anything. But the sun will rise and you will too, again and again. And I will do *everything* I can to keep you alive, as long as you wake up in the morning for me. Promise that you'll try. Promise me."

#volition to harry is what harry is to revachol. ''I NEED YOU. YOU CAN KEEP ME ON THIS EARTH. BE VIGILANT. I LOVE YOU'' #just a small part of something so large and chaotic and sprawling. so bad and so good. and trying to do the right thing amidst it all #because you need; because you /want/ so desperately for this larger being to live (not for your sake but because you love the being) #i'd probably call it The Sunrise Momentum or something. this could be something simple. oh voli wants you to set an alarm big whoop. #but i know there's something deeper there. the fact that voli brings it up so specifically as you wake up on the second day. #''waking up is the worst part'' buddy i have woken up on bad depression days to know /exactly/ why this promise was made #as long as you get up. as long as you are there in the morning i can keep you alive. i just gotta be able to write it in a way i like. #chemi chats #task: sunrise momentum
