#declarations of intent

the lodger's new roommate or the lodger's old roommate, a tale of woe

i mounted them using the forty pound command strips and the lodger ripped them down thrice. message received

also, i'm into site specific maps lately and thinking a lot about hand drawn maps. i drew a map of the roads between my girlfriend's house and mine and i like how it turned out

i treated myself to early solstice presents this week: fancy new earbuds that sound so good, new trail shoes, a pink krink k-42 with an opacity that will make you swoon, and a t-shirt by an artist i like. i am still struggling with wanting stuff

i hosted all four of finn's cats yesterday while pest control treated their building. we had a nice visit. kreg keeps saying she wants to live here but i know she would miss her finnie

it got in the high fifties yesterday. i opened all my windows to let the fresh air flow and did a big clean. it was such a pretty day

i have been writing more poems lately. they are built like tiny verbal wunderkammer and filled with bright treasures i find on my rambles. i think, with practice, they are getting better

i'm making cornbread stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and roasted chicken this weekend. a makeup dinner for the traditional thanksgiving feast i missed last month

this year has been so packed full of change for me. a struggle that has plagued me for the last four years ended in a most dramatic way. a brutal passage that i survived, mostly, intact. i wish it could have ended some other way, but at least now, it's finally over

Bruce gets accosted by reporters and one of them asks "Is it true that you're in competition with Superman to win Batman's affections?" and he is so taken aback bc what the fuck are they even talking about? There are a million questions going through his head such as, since when was superman into batman? since when was this public knowledge? wtf did bruce say to imply that he was into batman as well? And he doesn't have an answer to any of these questions so he just smiles and says, "No, I'm not. The word competition implies that Superman has a chance, which he does not."

why did he say that? Bruce doesn't know, it just felt like that's how Bruce Wayne would've responded bc what's more Brucie than fighting with Superman for Batman's heart? anyway, upon reflection, this was maybe not the best response in terms of long term consequences, but he's committed to the bit now.

a week after all this goes down, news reporter Clark Kent is caught saying that Batman deserves better than Bruce Wayne, so is a third suitor putting his hat in the ring to win over batman?

#superman was already iffy on bruce wayne #now he has a true hatred for the man for #1) declaring his intentions toward someone he has feelings for #2) not only implying that he is better boyfriend material than /Superman/ #but that he’s so much better that superman isn’t even competition #/bruce wayne/ #notable playboy and idiot #a better choice as a boyfriend #the absolute arrogance #batman #bruce wayne #superman #clark kent #superbat #dc #dc comics #mine

I started watching Black Sails in 2017 or 2018 on the recommendation of my good friends and also literally every gay person on the internet. I got thru seasons 1 and 2 and started 3, but I was like “god this is intense, I better take a small break.” And now that about seven years have passed which I spent diligently avoiding any spoilers and refusing to remember the ones I accidentally did see, I think I’m finally ready to find out what happens to those crazy kids.

#this is a public declaration of intent. if I don’t start live blogging black sails season one in the next two weeks #feel free to yell at me #black sails

"Thrawn only joined the Empire to help the Chiss!"

Okay sure but have any of you bothered to self-examine why Thrawn chose to join the Empire instead of, say, the Republic, when that was still around? Or why he didn't chose to throw in with the Rebellion, put his tactical mind to use helping them overthrow the Empire quicker?

Could it be... perhaps... that maybe he values the Empire's military strength... more than he cares about the authoritarian tyranny with which it oppresses its own people?

Is it possible that he thinks the Empire's main problem is that it isn't effective enough, too much politicking getting in the way of sound strategy, but if he's around (and in charge) he can guide things so that those annoying little wrinkles (AKA the pockets of discontent and rebellion and fully justified anger at their rights and freedoms being trampled on) are all smoothed out and the overall Imperial machine is better, more in control of its assets, a stronger more unified bulwark against the outergalactic threat of the Grysk or the Vong or whatever.

Is it perhaps just a bit self-centered of him to only care about the Empire's ability to service his own goals and desires and be apathetic (at best) to the way it makes people suffer daily under its inherent systems? The Twi'leks and Wookies being constantly kidnapped and sold into slavery? The careless industrialization of arboreal worlds? The socialization and absorption of all private industry, forcing everyone to work through and with the Empire if they want to work at all? The systematic persecution of anyone remotely Force Sensitive? Is it not the mark of some kind of soul rot to be aware of all of that and go, "Yeah, but I don't care, they have the bigger guns, which is what I need."?

Maybe... just maybe... Thrawn has some Machiavellian tendencies and opinions and maybe this just might... make him not entirely a good person?

And maybe y'all should think about that before you come back and whine about his portrayal as a villain, as if all he has to do is explain to people that he did everything for a good reason and he gets an automatic narrative pardon for all of the shit he did while Grand Admiral that still needs to be addressed and answered for.

#yeah another thrawn rant has been brewing for a while #listen it's not that i don't want thrawn to have depths and pathos and dimensions to his character #what i'm saying is that NONE OF THAT MATTERS ONCE HE JOINED THE EMPIRE #because he sure as hell didn't work to subvert the empire at all even knowing the kinds of things they do #so no i'm sorry there is no clean 'i had good intentions' moment #where everyone just arbitrarily accepts his Sad Backstory and declares everything okay #him doing everything he did 'for his people' does not mean the people he DID hurt don't get to demand and expect justice #what annoys me is not that thrawn has complex motivations #it's that fandom seems to think the motivations cancel out the MEANS and METHODS #which is why in all their stories thrawn gets to just go home and have a happily ever after with eli vanto or whoever #that is not what is going to or what should happen in canon guys #not fandom tagging this if you see it it's your own dang fault for being out in the wilds of the untamed tumblr search #dunking on the blue bastard #star wars #star wars rebels

my comrade in mazov we WILL be playing with the semantic ambiguity between Party (political organization), party (hedonistic celebration), and party (group of adventurers in a role-playing game)

#this is just an ominous declaration of intent

Bonus:

"After we stop it. What next?"

The Night Agent 1.09

#the scream that i scrumpt #Peter watching Rose so intently #He was trying to distract her but then also basically declared his intentions #I thought he was going to ask her on a date but the cabin line was even cuter #I hope we get to see it in season 2? #peter x rose #the night agent #sutherkin #larkland #peter sutherland #rose larkin #my gifs

So Dabi isn't sure why Duster has been spending more time with him lately. He thought when the other man said that he wanted to be with him more, that meant that he wanted to keep an eye on him in the field, not when Dabi was just hanging around base. But they're together a lot now and it's kind of driving him crazy. It's not like being around Shig is necessarily bad, they've been getting along way better actually, but he doesn't have any time to himself practically and that means that he doesn't have time for his... hobbies.

Yeah, he likes to put on some lingerie and a skirt and go get absolutely railed. Yeah, that's a little weird, but of all the weird things about Dabi's life, it's one that's not hurting anyone so he doesn't give a fuck. Problem is that now that Shig is his shadow, he can't go out for it anymore. Fine. He'll make do himself. He really should have locked his door though.

#tanco speaks #ask #asks #fake fic ask game #shig absolutely intended that to be a declaration of intent and him asking dabi out #and dabi is a dumbass

Why are you fully rendering fanart for something you hate so much why are you fully "redesigning" the entire cast of something you loathe why waste your time if you truly despise it and everyone and thing involved

#hazbin hotel is tge only thing ive seen this happen in #half the “redesigns” also reek of not even opening a wiki page #like thats just a whole ass different dude #cimpletely devoid of intentional design choices made to link them to the setting #just make an oc and dont weirdly try and ride a popular thing you dont like #vivziepop lives rent free in your head #like dont tag it with the same shit fans tag actual things with thats just bad tagging etiquette #its just annoying trying to find good fanart and stumbling upon the most Annoying People #like “IM so much BETTER AT DESIGN” ignoring basic things like #style difference changes made for animation and basic cohesive schemes so everyone fits #just because you dont like the style doesnt mean its inherantly bad #idk im annoyed #if you dont like something thats cool #dont be a bitch about it and shove yourself into fan spaces to loudly complain and declare yourself arbiter of quality #hazbin hotel

I think my favorite brand of Haikaveh is definitely:

Alhaitham: Fourteen-year-old Social Nobody takes one look at the hottest, most popular upperclassman at the Akademiya and declares, with absolute confidence, “I’m going to marry him one day.”

And Kaveh: Didn’t stand a chance.

#genshin impact #haikaveh #alhaitham #kaveh #just joking headcanons-ish #I see the fandom's 'they are exs your honor' #but raise you #'Alhaitham forgot you have to ask permission to marry people' #what do you mean putting Kaveh into his house #and opening a joint bank account #is not sufficient declaration of intent???

I’ve mostly posted the parts of the modern AU that are filled with whimsy because the internet is in shambles but rest assured, the directors cut in my head has a hard MA rating

#I posted a snippet of some writing which hints to the usual flavor of psychosexual bullshit going on with crassus courtesy of sulla #but there’s the everything else ofc. bribery. hostile takeovers as a violent declaration of intention and perhaps love. drugs. #fucking at a funeral. of course. base violence for spice. Deeply Unethical Business Practices and the overlapping Political Corruption #the follow up for the flowers scene with Pompey that I posted is that he’s actually filled Crassus’ house with the same flowers #that he ordered for Sulla’s funeral. it’s romantic to borderline excess because it reads like a threat #OH. voyeurism. OBVIOUSLY. Crassus is bribing local politicians for building permits. as expected. #Caesar goes further. vote buying babyyyy.

“Angel lives” AU, but she does not fucking overcome her dad’s glorious (genocidal) genes. She takes one step as a free man and immediately subscribes to some extremist ideology. Tbh. I give her max 30 minutes of roaming Pandora before she starts saying shit like, “Damn I think I gotta save this nation. How will I go about doing that? Don’t even worry about it. My heroic elevation of the wretched bandits vs my dad’s brutish colonization of the planet. I am nothing like him btw"

#borderlands #angel the siren #fake poison drips through enthusiasts when real filth teaches filth enjoyers come at them #Angel threatens to nuke the eridium deposits and declares herself the Emperor of the Six Galaxies. Who the fuck is Paul. #sorry been thinking about Angel as a tyrannical CEO that entertains herself with humane intentions. Just like her dad fr. #☀️

Nhs declaring his affection to a very oblivious Jc’s face is one of my favorite dynamics.

#sangcheng #nie huaisang #jiang cheng #jin zixuan #doodles #it will take a couple of years for jc to realize his own feelings #and a bit longer to realize Nhs returns them #He only comes to the realization bc he one night finds a very na- #-ked Nhs tied to #his bed #with a sign that says #THIS IS NOT A JOKE NOR A DREAM. RAVISH ME JIANG WANYIN #And when Jc goes to Nmj to declare his intentions he is gobsmacked #bc Nmj just goes 'Finally. Good job kid.' #instead of punching him like he expected to be #And Nmj adds 'My brother has given me years to prepare for this. #I would've actually gone to punch you if you hadn't figured it out within the year.' #and jc is like 'Oh.' #He then asks everyone #'Did all of you--' #and before he gets to finish the question they answer YES.

one thing i think we need OPLA to do more of in future seasons: bigger emotional outbursts

really hard to get stuff like that to fly on american tv so im not gonna get greedy and ask for too much but like, 10-20% more screaming and crying would make it feel just a bit more like One Piece to me.

#one piece #opla #one piece live action #iñaki godoy got some moments where he really got to scream his lungs out #taz skylar too #i want more #i want jacob gibson to proudly declare his intent to go to elbaph for all the world to hear
