#do watch your step

[canon-gabriel-quotes]

Francis has definitely seen this blog now. You have been Linked. Recommended to him even.

I am aware of my fate. I stand tall knowing that no punishment can touch me, as I am already in the bad place.

#I have nothing to lose I already lost from day 1 being stuck here #the place where the old go to die and the young go insane #where the suns flame burns you even in the shade of night #where the water threatens to eat you alive #a sunny place of shady people #do watch your step #I have no idea what im saying btw #the swamp gas is getting to me #non voice post #asks #ask

Not to sidebar from Doc Who again but I’m rewatching Much Ado 2011 (again) and I’ve just noticed how several times in the wedding scene Benedick moves to physically intervene on Hero’s behalf and is ordered to stop by Don Pedro. He is told by his prince to stop and then to leave and yet he still rushes back to help as soon as the others are gone how does this scene keep getting better Jesus CHRIST

#much ado about nothing #much ado about nothing 2011 #wedding scene my beloved #like listen #listen #I’ve been hung up on how Benedick shields Hero from Leonato in the next scene #since the first damn time I watched this #man self-admittedly doesn’t know WHAT is going on #but knows that it’s wrong #and steps in to protect both Hero and Beatrice #(and don’t get me STARTED on Beatrice in these two scenes and how she’s doing her level best to do the same as Benedick but can’t) #(Beatrice my LIFE) #and David Tennant’s ability to go from joking to observing to ‘don’t fucking try it’ instantaneously #is just #beyond comprehension #but I hadn’t noticed this bit before #Pedro at one point physically holds him back #which #fuck you pedro #fuck you your shoes and the horse you rode in on #but that’s another post #man Benedick rushing back to help has always been great #but now with not just the implication but the CONTEXT that he’s been TOLD NOT TO #even better #11/10 #no #1100/10 #fucking hell I love this play

Creators I love you but it's time to wake up

Among rumors about our tumblr user data being sold off to Midjourney/Generative AI, recent Extremely transphobic events (that have been ongoing) coming to a head, another extremely concerning internet censorship bill being pushed in upper levels of government, and a general air of frustration over how the site belongs to and is operated by perhaps the second stupidest CEO (second only to twitters own) of our age, I'm very done with the last few vestiges of what the old internet held for artists.

And if you're reading this, you probably are too.

I know we're tired. We are all tired. It is not always viable to pack up shop and move, again and again and again.

From tumblr to twitter to anywhere else we've ever grown up posting, things no longer work. Our audiences are kneecapped by aggressive and hostile algorithms, our reach is abysmal - if we aren't shadow-banned or silenced for one (transphobic) reason or another, we're thrust into an ever growing pit of hostility where the only thing that drives clicks is fighting and contention.

We're tired. We're so fucking tired. We aren't businesses, we aren't content mills, we cannot keep this pace that modern social media has set for us, to wring every ounce of creativity out of us to profit from and leave us rotting.

The key to staying afloat here, and I cannot stress this enough, is to stay connected to your peers.

Pack up and move as units if you must. Exodus from the sites that are killing us. Push your entire friend group of artists to move from one site to the next that promises you a kinder experience.

Art drives movements, it drives change, it is all that encompasses being human. If you take that away from the shitty places, they will be left with nothing but a cesspit of inhumanity and the people who follow you will be more incentivized than ever to move with you.

Yes, this is terrifying. There are no guarantees. There never was, and never are, and never will be.

But stay connected. Stay human.

Support each other and be willing to hold hands and jump when we all - as a group - need to jump from the flames we're all trying to convince ourselves wont kill us before rescue comes.

Rescue isn't coming, rescue will be found hand in hand with each other. I'm offering you my hand, please take it. There's always a new start, there are always helping hands reaching for you. You have to look up from the doom-scroll long enough to see and take them.

#art communities #art community #teo talks #sorry I have a Lot of opinions about posting art online I've been doing this since I was 14 and I'm 28 this year #I have watched the rise and fall of social media titans and you have to understand the ONLY thing that will keep you afloat #is keeping connected to your peers #we have to move as units and we have to stay together and we have to support each other #your following is not stability. your friendships are. #thats why you hear about networking. thats ceo talk for friendships. connections. #you have to have enough connections to build your own support web on the chance that everything goes to shit. yes its hard work. it sucks. #but it is a necessity. twitter isn't getting better. its not going back to how it was. neither is DA or tumblr. its not happening. #If you put all your eggs in one or two precarious baskets and both fall. you will be shit out of luck! thats reality #there is hope to be found but you have to be realistic and understand that you NEED to build up a presence elsewhere. even if its hard. #I want to help you if I can!!!! bluesky is a really solid twitter alternative!!! #ive heard good things about cohost as a tumblr alternative!!!! #sheezy and inkblot are both indie sites currently being developed by and for other creatives. support them! #they won't be perfect until - and UNLESS - you do! #anyways sorry I will step off my soapbox now Im just frustrated with the state of everything

Evil Wolverine’s crimes continue.

Fai is expressing concern over the fact that both individual Sakura’s had a huge amount of power separately, but now together…?

AND THEN EVIL WOLVERINE INTERRUPTS HIM TO EXPLAIN THE FACTS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, BUT IN HIS UNIQUE FONT. 

HELLO IT IS TIME TO RECAP ALL THE FACTS THAT YOU MAY REMEMBER FROM THE PREVIOUS PAGES THAT IMMEDIATELY PRECEDED THIS

SOULS GATHERED INTO OTHER SAKURA CLONES = DIDN’T WORK SO WELL

THIS ONE SAKURA CLONE IN PARTICULAR WAS EXCELLENT

STAMP THAT CLONE WITH ALL THE DIMENSION MEMORIES WE NEED 

ADD THE SUPER FEATHER THAT GOT STRONGER OVER TIME IN THE RESERVOIR FOR SOME REASON

COMBINE THAT WITH THE ORIGINAL SAKURA, MIX WELL, AND BOOM. 

You now have Super Goddess Sakura - the all purpose tool for all your universe destroying needs!

The place he loses me is when he says that Original ‘Sakura’ has the nature to take both of these things into herself. Which, I don’t know why she would, since the feather belongs quite specifically to a different soul, and I don’t know why she would absorb the body of her clone. Like, the Syaorans never absorbed each other, and Watanuki has always been fine when meeting Lava Lamp. 

Is it specifically because the body is empty? So it kind of drifts automatically towards a soul very similar to its original to merge with? And since The Sakura Clone's soul was VERY close to the original Sakura's, that meant she was able compatible with the feather even through she isn't missing any part of her own soul? Like an Extra Memory DLC she could have since the files were compatible, even though those memories aren't hers? Or something? 

I feel like I am being pedantic but he specifically says she has the ability to take both those things into herself.

If Syaoran had died but left an empty body behind would Lava Lamp have accidentally fused with it? Or is this a Sakura Specific Function that’s happening because of the Extreme Universe Powers that are being thrown around her?

Honestly at this point Evil Wolverine could just start adding any other random event he needed to make this work to the list and I’d just have to shrug and say Sure, Ok. Whatever you say. That might as well also be true now. 

#He may as well just say anything #We can’t fact check him #And ARENT WE LUCKY HE IS SO DETERMINED #TO EXPLAIN EVERY STEP OF THE SPELL #SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW CLEVER HE IS #AND HOW WELL HE ACCIDENTALLY MADE ALL THIS HAPPEN #BY KIND OF PLONKING PEOPLE IN PLACES AND WATCHING THEM DO IT FOR HIM #WELL DONE EVIL WOLVERINE SUCH CLEVER BIG IMPRESS #Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle #Tsubasa #Vol 215 #Sakura #Which Sakura? #A Sakura! #Not Sakura #Double Sakura #Sakura Sakura? #Evil Wolverine #YOU MUST ALSO SIFT FLOUR AND ADD MILK TO YOUR SAKURA MIX #WHISK GENTLY AND ADD SUGAR #LEAVE TO COOL IN THE FRIDGE OVERNIGHT #THESE ARE THE STEPS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE MY SECRET PLAN! #MY ULTIMATE FLAN SAKURA!

iwaizumi tells you that if those barbell hip thrusts aren’t making your legs shake the same way he does, then you aren’t doing it right 😔

#he says it to u when u ask him INNOCENTLY how to tell if ure doing it correctly while on the drive back home #and he says it while making a turn by a stoplight so he isnt even looking at u when he says it . so casually . u spit out ur drink #and when he watches u do it in the gym next time u make eye contact and r reminded of it SO MUCH u dont think u can concentrate #iwaizumi x reader #iwaizumi hajime x reader #but ofc u have to . bc he’s staring at u . waiting for u to do it . and iwaizumi everywhere else is ur loving bf #but in the gym he’s Actually your Living Hell 😭 #so u do it . and u shake . TERRIBLY . like he has to help get the barbell off u . and by the end of leg day your legs feel like JELLO #u get out of the gym and he actually has to carry u to d car otherwise you’d be limping for the rest of the afternoon #and the MENACE that he is . COMPLETELY INCONSIDERATE (just this once) . makes ur legs shake even more that night 😭 #(gets absolutely TURNED ON by u killing it at the gym) #everytime i step into the gym i have iwa thoughts and it kiLLS me #iwa hours open again rn so sorry 😭 gonna head back out now ………… #i mEAAAAAANNN WHAAAAAAAATTTT i didnt write this #bye #hajime #rated #shotorus.bubble

I cant find the post which goes into how Astarion wouldnt want the player character to be their one source of blood because

1. Thats immediately entering a relationship of dependence again and he wants to be independent

2. Thats not enough blood

Let me add counterpoint 3: vampire astarion being joined by a player character to hunt animals large enough for a proper meal (and bring back drained and butchered for the others) is such a good mental image that I immediately want 10 fanarts

You may say, astarion can hunt big animals just fine on his own but I say cmon medieval boar hunting was a whole thing it was a sport it was a group activity because the animal was so dangerous in its death throes

Cant you just picture Wyll on a horse with a boar-spear like its a game of polo and Astarion running on the ground like his hunting dog?????

Halsin taking wolf form for a spin to hunt in a pack of two and when someone passes by they ignore the tableau of animals feeding until it dawns on them that one of those red muzzled creatures with their face in an elk was a humanoid not a beast???

There are some good ass images right here.

#astarion #astarion ancunin #astarion bg3 #like watching birds out the window with your cat #you gotta join your vampire in his interests #also i am from a Hunting Area im so frustrated with the way games and genre fiction never depict field dressing #(ie you do the first steps of butchery right where the animal is killed so you dont have to carry useless weight home) #also consider an astarion romance partner getting a close up view of the difference between tasting your humanoid blood with restraint #and going ape shit tearing throats out #much to think about

#fallout amazon #fallout #fallout series #cooper howard #barb howard #the ghoul #stills art #i scarlet pimpernel'd your man and made myself cry #and robert frost'd but lets be real i've been dying to do that since i watched the series #heres the quote from the book too: #“Had she but turned back then #and looked out once more on to the rose-lit garden #she would have seen that which would have made her own sufferings seem but light and easy to bear--a strong man #overwhelmed with his own passion and despair. Pride had given way at last #obstinacy was gone: the will was powerless. He was but a man madly #blindly #passionately in love and as soon as her light footstep had died away within the house #he knelt down upon the terrace steps #and in the very madness of his love he kissed one by one the places where her small foot had trodden #and the stone balustrade #where her tiny hand had rested last.” #― Baroness Orczy #The Scarlet Pimpernel

procrastination is starting to have its consequences finally

#on my friends living room floor they love together but one of them has been london for weeks or maybe months #to be with her love. im on a foam mattress from one of their beds next to a glass bottle of water opened by one of them #in a mug given to me by another. the weather felt like my childhood today and it also felt like 2 years ago. #(put space in the heavens Einstein's idea and hes your friend too so nothing to fear) around the table they drank and laughed and i thought #i hope you keep growing so full with the love you receive . i hope your appetite becomes insatiable from how used to it you are #and i know youre all leaving soon but i hope one day you miss this and that youll be happy you miss it #its worth missing i think #i thought he didnt care but he said after exams hes going walk around this area over and over #(this is near where he lived and where we visited almost daily for a year) #(hed come across the bridge on a lake) #we went where she used to live and at the entrance a fox sat calmly. it just yawned and stared. #it felt important somehow. i think maybe their impressions of me will never be close to how i feel inside but i think #i love them enough for that not to matter. i dont think theyll ever know this. i dont think if they did it would change much. #and seeing them smile makes my heart glow anyway. today i tried their malaysian tea the ginger burned my throat #they warmed my heart. hes going to canada soon and hes going to the US soon and shes going everywhere soon ill never understand #how were supposed to live with memories and with seperation and with the past but we do it anyway so i think it doesnt matter much #i wanted to write a poem for the lab rats with the fibre optic wires lit with blue forcing them to turn around and around #something about how im sorry that the two photon arrays burned the inside of your brain. im sorry about the sharp points of multielectrode #arrayes. im sorry about everything we do to you. she asked to see me tomorrow. im trying to have self control but i miss her so awfully #last night my friend talked to me and i updated on everything that happened with love and the lack of it and she just started laughing #and she told me about the same thing from her side. and she told me about how she loved london because she would walk the streets #and she felt like the people were her. and her eyes would go over the people and the bag of bagels and the construction men they probably #have a kid at home maybe shes a daughter. this kid is crying for her mother and the building you just walked past caused #blisters and pain and people died in it and very likely people were born in it. we talked for hours and i felt like #i was holding her hand just like that time she held mine watching a horror film. i love her so much #my friend is a genius and i remember her picking up the charms of my phone and staring at the leaf hanging from them. shes side stepping to #music drinking dangerous cider and cocktails from a movie and chit chatting with billionaires and undergrads #i love her dearly. his head covered in electrodes. she tells me about a syrian guy shes in love with and she says #what you feel and what i feel is like cocaine. ive tried a lot of fucking cocaine. #she says ive reminded her of what living actually feels like and to never put energy into someone who doesnt see me this way.

Rory's first session with steadiness training and she's crushing it!

#dogblr #rory borealis #my face #bird dog training #so bird dogs need a really strong WOAH (stop moving and stay) for safety #and also to help encourage pointing in younger dogs (you woah them when they have the scent of the bird before the bird flushes) #ive never taught woah before so i read a bunch of books and watched a bunch of videos #one of the first steps is steadiness (basically impulse control) #so were using my elevated step and some kibbles and a flat collar with a tab leash #basically once your dog understands the board you can start #hold the tab loosely (no tension in the leash but enough that you can stop them from going after the snack) #throw the snack and dont let the dog go for it (hold leash and feed snacks on the board) #make sure theres no tension in the leash before you release #the dog should be standing there of their own will not the leash stopping them #its really hard so make sure the dog is exercised and calm before you start esp the first time #and only do short short sessions #and reward HEAVILY #there are faster more old fashioned ways to teach it #but shes a baby and i dont mind going slow so this is what im doing #also - look at my face i was so unsure if she would stay 😂

Saw some of the grossest parenting today in the bus

#this dad was on his phone the whole bus ride ok #and his two kids were screaming arguing #at most he would periodically tell them to lower their voice while still on his phone #one time he told them to stop the one sitting next to him hit him 😭 and he went back to look at his phone with no reaction #my guy something is seriously wrong with you #your kids are screaming at each other doesn't even matter all that much that we are in the bus rn #theyre not just being loud kids you need to do smt!!!!!! its too early for this!!! i could hear them even with my noise cancelling headphone #anyways #ive never seen smt like this #and i work in a mall i see lots of parents and kids #idk smt really disgusting about a parent just not even interested in engaging with their kids #dude no wonder they're loud they probably want ur attention #also this one lady once who came in wjth a big stroller #and the store where i work has little moving rooms between the aisle so this woman decided TO LEAVE THE STROLLER WITH A KID INSIDE AT THE #FRONT OF THE STORE #the kids started crying and his hrother (toddler not in the stroller but not following the mom for some reason) started exploring and i #i had to watch them until the mom came back but like the woman just left them there??? #i just stepped in but what if i hadnt??? lady????????? #i see lots of cute interactions of course #like this little girl who came with who i think is her grandpa and he asked me to help her chose her next manga read 😭💖 #i basically work in a book/toy store #theres a lot of candy as well the kids love it #idk i like seeing kids being happy ok it is healing #like all the kids sitting on the floors deep in their books while the parents shop 😭😭😭 makes me smile every time top tier behavior

charlos au where they talk about divorcing at their fav restaurant and after all is said and done they decide to go back to their own homes and carlos offers charles a ride back home (even tho charles the one who started the discussion about the divorcing thing) yeah yeah and at the ride to charles' house they talk about their favorite memory of eachother (and how this one would be their last)

#im in that brainrot phase fr #charlos #carlos sainz #charles leclerc #the domestical and mourning vibes of driving someone home and knowing that probably would be the last time your doing it for them #watching the city pass by and looking at places you and him loved and knowing you probably wouldnt be able to step foot in that place #without remembering him #ALEXAPLAY THE APARTMENT WE WONT SHARE BY NIKI 😭😭

I've been listening to Loser, Baby from Hazbin Hotel on repeat despite having a minimal interest in Hazbin Hotel and tbh I think Loser, Baby might go in the "songs to listen to if you need cheering up" playlist lol.

It's just such a funny song but also the message isn't horrible. I love that it starts off sounding like Husk is just being a dick to Angel Dust for the sake of being a dick but no, he has a point to make (although I will say that it definitely feels like Husk is intentionally making it seem like he's being a dick to be a dick just to get a rise out of Angel, especially in the show lmao). So here are my takeaways from it:

Because I vaguely know what Husk is like in terms of his personality overall, I'm pretty confident in saying that he was intentionally trying to get a rise out of Angel to prove a point. Genuinely watching Angel slowly lose his mind as Husk bullies him is hilarious lmao

The entire song is basically Husk trying to get Angel to accept himself as he is and realize he's not alone, because Husk and Angel's flaws and trauma don't have to completely destroy them.

Disney underutilized Keith David in The Princess and The Frog

Husk says "But letting walls down, it can sometimes set you straight" and I think that's one of the biggest takeaways from Loser, Baby. Sometimes (usually. always) opening up is the first step to recovery.

The message of Loser, Baby is very much "You're not alone and you should feel more than free to embrace and own your flaws" and I love it. Loser, Baby doesn't suggest that being a loser is a bad thing, but something to embrace. Husk's goal isn't to put down Angel Dust, it's to get him to embrace a part of himself he's grown to hate and tell him that being damaged doesn't mean he should give into hopelessness (hell, he even accepts the parts of Angel that Angel himself hates with no hesitation), and especially in the context of the episode Loser, Baby appears in it's not a bad message.

i love these two and i love this song and i love how loser, baby promotes embracing aspects of yourself you hate

#hazbin hotel #loser baby #angel dust #hazbin hotel husk #like i said i dont watch the show dont yell at me if i got anything wrong #everything i know about hazbin hotel has been osmosed from tiktok lmfao #every time i get a hazbin video on my fyp on tiktok im like 'I DONT EVEN GO HERE???' and watch it anyway #on a related note (to the post) i do think that embracing your flaws and trauma is an important step to recovering from trauma #and by embrace i basically mean looking at your flaws and trauma and saying 'this is something that's a crucial part of me' #which is essentially what husk tries to get angel to do in loser baby #or im misinterpreting it. idk lmao #like i said. not a hazbin fan just a dumbass who does whatever the fuck this is

I found this to be such a random comment until I realised it was Balgeum saying it and it suddenly felt so heavy

#his money trauma runs so deep he cant see how his behaviour hurts inho much more than any money issues could #or maybe he does and its just that bad that he cant physically stop himself #when he told inho to go back i was like my man he cant keep coming back until you have enough money to feel secure #if you dont deal with this now that insecurity is gonna run for the rest of your life and even if you do have money youll always worry abou #losing them and not be able to enjoy the comfort that comes with them #and youre always going to base your feeling of self worth on them #and your happiness and everything valuable in your life would be so easy to destroy #itd crumble #i want him to see the truth so bad it hurts me watching him go through it #im happy he was at least honest with inho #thats a step #hes gonna have to take a lot of small ones too #all of these hurt boys ugh #its such a pretty show and the comedy is fun and the acting is top notch that it makes me ignore how much sadness there actually is in ever #episode #and i recommend it as a light watch because they mix the sweet and the sour so well #but i feel for all of these characters #including hyejin lol #boys be brave

there's an alternate reality where this vegas:

and this pete:

most definitely fuck.

#i have a scenario in my head where the bodyguard disperse to find porsche and as vegas is heading out back to main foyer area #he bumps into pete and pete just looks at him with disgust and knows vegas is Upto Some Shit and porsche disappearing is bc of him #and vegas who's already Mad does not need pete to be looking at him like that so he spits out a 'what the fuck are you staring at?' #and pete just cuts to the chase and asks vegas 'where the fuck is he i know you're upto some shit.' and vegas just smirks and says 'who?' #whilst he steps closer to him until he's trapped pete up against a wall and leans into his ear and says 'who pete?' #and pete spits back in vegas' face how 'i know you've got your eyes on him. don't think i haven't been watching your every move.' #and at first it feels like a bucket of ice water has been thrown on vegas but then he composes himself and says #'why? are you jealous?' at which pete just scoffs. and then vegas tries again and says 'or do you like what you see? the thrill of it? #eyeing me just to see what i do next?' #and pete doesnt respond. just bites the inside of his cheek. bc there is a thrill to it #but he is not gonna give vegas the satisfaction. and yet all vegas has to do is look at pete as he clenches his jaw and he gets his answer #and then vegas just rakes his eyes all over pete's body and says 'you've never looked so good'. #and pete isnt gonna get distracted by the fact that vegas of all people is telling him this. so he asks again 'where is he?' #and vegas just tuts and steps even closer and presses their bodies together and says 'fuck him. i'm talking about us. #stop being so fucking good all the time pete. doesnt it get tiring?' #and pete's trying to stay focused on the task at hand here and he knows exactly what vegas is doing as vegas carries on saying #'don't you wanna be bad sometimes pete? what if i let you be that with me? no one has to know.' #and the invitation sounds so tempting. the prospect of it. that he should be with kinn doing his job but instead he's fucking his cousin #and just being the centre of attention for once. being vegas' centre of attention .... it makes pete's toes curl. #and vegas glances down at pete's mouth that's fallen slightly open. and its so pretty. so pretty that he has to touch it. and as he does #pete opens his mouth wider and vegas runs his thumb along pete's entire bottom lip. and he can feel pete breathing hard. #'you want this.' vegas says. 'look how you open up your mouth for me so pretty to have more.' #and now vegas is calling him pretty too and pete's resolve is breaking brick by brick until he moans when vegas wraps his hand around his #throat and vegas says 'i wanna taint you so bad that you'd have to wear this to cover the bruises on your neck. and the next time i see you #i'd do it all over again.' and pete asks in a barely there voice 'next time?' and vegas smirks and leans into pete's ear and says #'if its what you want. because i do. i wanna see you be bad for me. just for me. i want you to come to me only. for me only.' #and then vegas bites down on the skin there making pete clutch onto vegas' blazer and as divine as vegas looks pete wants to rip it off. #and just as he's about to do something about it vegas steps back leaving pete's arm mid air. and pete hates that. and vegas sees it all #over his face and says 'what do you say pete? you either leave with me right now or you can go back and be the good little boy they think #you are.' and vegas holds out his hand. and no one's ever treated pete like this before. so he takes it. and lets vegas take him.
