#even with laughing at tragedy!

[inkspottie]

Did this on Twitter, but I like to post it here too

It just blows my mind how much I’ve improved

#spottie speaks #it really makes me happy #cuz man #when I came into the bendy fandom I had a really bad image of myself and my art #but I met some amazing people who lifted me up #and I could never ever thank them enough #even with laughing at tragedy! #thank you guys so much #thanks for coming on this journey with me #💛✨

For decades, the blank vision that Iudex Neuvillette wears near his heart has been subject to much discussion in Fontaine. Nobody remembers who it had once belonged to or why the ancient dragon protected it so jealously. It is said that if the Chief Justice would to stare at it for a long while, it would be sure to rain right after. Oh, how beloved that person must've been.

#genshin impact #genshin fanart #neuvillette #visions #wriolette #wriollette #neuvithesley #myart #sorry for the short drabble? #kasndkansd i have emotions over a simple thought i had #the tragedy for someone eternal to fall for someone who's here for only a brief moment eats away at me hhhh #it started with a funny thought of IF neuvillette needs to carry a fake vision for some reason after laughing at the archons for it #and then i remembered how people like kazuha would hold onto their loved one's masterless vision after they died #one thing led to another and now we have some wriolette angst with neuvillette cherishing wrio's masterless vision #after his inevitable passing #and idk if its just the traveller or if its even canon #but i like to think that neuv being a sovereign he would be able to hear the ambition of one's vision and maybe just maybe #he can use wrio's masterless vision to listen to his voice albeit ever so softly

be it a black comedy or a workplace comedy or a satire or a dramedy, MASH is first and foremost a comedy. MASH needs to be a comedy. the point being made is that setting a comedy during a horrific and pointless war is absurd. point being that the war is horrific and pointless and absurd.

hence much of the dialogue in the early years, such as this bit from hawkeye in the pilot episode "throw away all the guns and invite all the jokers from the North and the South in here to a cocktail party. last man standing on his feet at the end wins the war". the Henry Blake character and on the flip side of Henry, the Frank Burns character and some of the others seem absurd and over-the-top because you're meant to ask yourself "how did a guy like henry end up in command??" or "how does a hack doctor like frank end up a major and constantly escape any formal consequences?".

this scene is hilarious - but it's also functionally anti-establishment. it's meant to drive home how stupid the whole thing is. hawkeye spells it out later in the scene, saying something like "if you wanna talk medical procedures, fine, let's talk. otherwise, this is a waste of time and if you're gonna make me be here i'm going to be as silly as disruptive as possible". and then he and trapper do just that, manipulating the "rules of order" which bring structure to the staff meeting, so that they become rules of disorder, and the meeting quickly devolves into chaos as the laugh track plays.

it seems obvious that a show about war would be gritty, tragic and at points, hard to watch. MASH also has those moments, and they easily convey that war and any attempts we make to justify war, are bizarre and hellish and immoral. the funny moments are doing the same thing, in a more unexpected way.

#MASH #hawkeye pierce #this is the whole show but it was best executed by the gelbart-reynolds era because they wrote around this thesis #the army is a laughing stock and hawkeye is pointing at it and laughing and so are the rest of us even if we don't notice it #me sharpening my knife whenever someone comes for the comedy genre #comedy handles tragedy better than drama and other hills i'm camped out on til i die #re: mash #mash is a comedy

Y’know, when Napoleon was bitching to the British government about them calling him “general” rather than “Emperor” when he was in captivity on St. Helena, which is totally a worthwhile argument to have and totally worth having a 5 year long temper tantrum over,

he should’ve just one day said “oh okay I’m not emperor of the French :) but I am Prince Consort of Parma.” ‘Cuz that would’ve been funny. Still get called “majesty” for a different reason.

It wouldn’t have worked.

But it would’ve been funny.

It would’ve made Napoleon the funniest man alive but no, he dropped the ball, this is why he’s problematic and we should boycott the movie

#marie louise #napoleon #found a bulletin quoted where in Parma they announced his death not using his name but just as like. the consort of our #princess or whatever #and like. sure that was posthumous #but it’s a card I’d play #thp #also I know st helena is #always depicted as a tragedy but I do find most of it hilarious #not even in a ‘I’m laughing at you napoleon’ way but in a #’are we really going #to argue with marchand over how big he drew gourgaud in a painting because we don’t understand how perspective works’ #way.

i really need to stop projecting onto historical figures

#doli try not to make laurens endure every mental trauma ever challenge GO #or even better #doli stop making laurens endure every trauma you went through challenge #(impossible) #taking my untreated mental illness out on men who died 200 years ago #JL looking down on me from the afterlife with sheer disappointment #(its because im a woman) #im sorry but laurens being sexist makes me laugh😭 #ive actually gone completely off topic #hi there if ur even reading the tags #laurens is my favorite tragedy i love making him endure worse than he did

can’t believe they didn’t have Yoshiki connect his experience with being possessed to that one guy who broke into the school grounds and killed himself.

#I also doubt he’s going to connect it for the old man he also just watched die #Idk I just feel like we missed a window of opportunity #Because it’d seem insincere for him to only make the connection now right? Like it feels like a lot of time has passed even #if it’s only been 2 days. It’s going to be coming a whole volume later. The audiences sense of time is skewed #And like the diner scene is so tonally jarring? The slapstick faces and casual air to everything #And I guess it’s supposed to be scary but it literally made me laugh so hard seeing the ghost under the table #And the ghost going ‘YOOOOOO’ also sent me #“I won’t treat death lightly anymore” #“Huh? Someone died? When did that happen? Anyway I have to study for my math test” #I’m not saying I want Yoshiki to be crippled emotionally every time something bad happens #But just like acknowledging the tragedy of an innocent person being forced to do something like that and offering empathy? #Because Yoshiki could’ve suffered the exact same fate. He only didn’t because he aligned himself with ‘Hikaru’ #the summer hikaru died #hikaru ga shinda natsu #hgsn #hgsn spoilers #idk you’re free to disagree with this. Emotional scenes are just what I like and ‘spooky scary ghosts’ aren’t #So obviously I’d prefer an emotional scene over yet another ghost trying to tickle Yoshiki #My hgsn shit

While we all know about Hawke's character-assasination in inquisition, I personally remain.. preplexed? a morbid kind of impressed? with how that game also managed to butcher my Warden with only about 5 lines of dialogue referring to him and a letter.

#dragon age #dai critical #mostly everything leliana says #because look. they were friends in origins. But it was doomed from the get-go #and that's kind of the beauty of it in origins isn't it? The setting of war makes a lot of room for relationships that would in any other- #place in time- any other scenario be impossible- to happen! #for Orion this applies to Sten and Morrigan too. #The whole thing of- one day you will walk out of Denerim and into a life that will entirely contrast my every value; #Stealing Dalish artifacts. Becoming Arishok. Working as left hand of the Divine. #Next time we see eachother chances are we will no longer be on the same side #we both know this but tonight we still gather around the campfire. we still sing. we still laugh; exchange gifts and talk about the world. #it's bittersweet yes but it's the type of tragedy that feels like everyone involved already knows and is at peace about it #So when inquisition comes around and Leliana tells me Orion is still a close friend of hers? It feels like it cheapens the whole thing #Yes the devs can't possibly account for every possible way either installment can be played just for those small moments #But that is WHY they should either be bringing the old protagonists back as playable or simply not include them at all #The warden I made would not even leave room to question that he and leli are now on hostile terms #and he CERTAINLY would not send a polite little letter to a force whose purpose is to restore the chantry to power #And then you have the throne room chatter. which i straight up hate im not going to be poetic about it #the fucking da keep remains horrendous #oh we desperately need to have shithead npcs shittalk the hof . what? your hof did NOTHING that would warrant that? haha too bad #you simply can't pick what you actually DID in those quests #You found Bevin didnt take the sword and just gave them 5 gold out of the goodness of your heart? No you didnt #You just persuaded the random mercenaries in the gnawed noble tavern to leave? No you killed them #it infuriates me

[aerithisms]

i just can't believe they made me cry so much over the most inevitable character death ever like this is a character death i knew about before i knew literally anything else about final fantasy and they still made me bawl like a small child

#blahs #ff7 #rebirth spoilers #even though i love her death scene in the original and it's had such a lasting legacy because it was so powerful #i do think it was a move of evil genius to add the layer of cloud not understanding what happened #it's so fucked up. makes it so much more sad. someone he loves is gone and he doesn't understand. he thinks he saved her. #and it means they can really prolong the tragedy of it in part 3 when cloud finally finally wakes up to reality and it hits him like a truc #still hoping we'll get some of his og lines about it in part 3. 'aerith will no longer talk. no longer laugh... cry... or get angry.'

anyway my favourite thing about dead men fanfiction is the wildly different characters we all write. like. not even the ones who have been dead for years and have so little actual characterisation but even the ones who were alive in canon were probably very different one hundred, two hundred, three hundred years ago. also theyre under characterised in fiction. also we are all just having fun

#guy who barely posts about skulduggery pleasant: so ive be rereading some of my old favourite dead men fanfiction #as well as my own dead men fanfiction #and damn if we arent all writing a bunch of different fucking guys. to be fair i have gone rogue bcos like. cant be fucked w canon #dont wanna write about war #heyo what if it was pre war and everyone was still. convinced their wouldnt be one #also i love the idea of skulduggery being. just super fucking irresponsible devil may care live laugh love sorta guy pre-war #spoilt. rich parents who dont care much about him. loads of magic tutors. #i mean think about the class implications of the dead men #skulduggery. an elemental. a difficult discipline that clearly requires a level of training and scholarli-ness #his NAME is skulduggery #you come across that name if your educated. if you read a lot #this is a man who has been afforded every privilege #and like. i think a lot of sorcerers are implied to be very upper class #or like. kinda rich and fancy about it #but obviously that wouldnt be the case for everyone bcos magic isnt just genetic right like some ppl just show up with it #and like even then #dexter vex #anton shudder #like as far as im aware these are just names ppl have #and slightly uncommonly used words #disciplines which are more emotional/physical #as opposed to 'learned' #i just think its interesting #i was gonna have my dead men all meet n be friends pre war #but tbh i think them meeting and not being friends is better #i think theres a sort of tragedy in them being as close as they were because of the war #and not having that post war or pre war #its actually really fucking sad but like. evidently they didnt hang out in the interim when most of em were still alive #or at least that much #im wondering if like. they needed a couple hundred years of like. detox bcos seeing each other just pulled them back into that mindset

was literally having such a good time listening to the visitors album by abba until i realized that lily evans never got to listen to it bc she died before it was released

#forget harry being orphaned this is the actual tragedy of halloween 1981 #she's literally so soldiers + slipping through my fingers + should i laugh or cry coded and she didn't even get to know it 😔 #AND she's so “when all is said and done” coded too??? #“standing calmly at the crossroads no desire to run/there's no hurry anymore when all is said and done” i am going to be SICK omfg #lily evans

if i had a nickel for every time i had to watch a beloved david tennant character losing the love his life after acknowledging the fact that they've been in love all along, leaving me a sobbing mess on the floor, I'd have two nickels, which is not much and it's not enough to pay the bill to my therapist

#gos2 spoilers #good omens spoilers #how am i supposed to live laugh love in these conditions #dont get me wrong #its the perfect ending for a second act #THE SECOND ACT ALWAYS ENDS IN TRAGEDY #and I know that everything will be alright eventually #and it's in line with the characters #BUT GOOD LORD IM SOBBING SO HARD #IM NOT TAKING IT VERY WELL I FEAR #i cant even stop and think about it because i'll just cry again #aziracrow #ineffable husbands

[inkspottie]

i want LaT to have a happy ending so bad. I love these characters so much, your storytelling is amazing and I love the art you do for each chapter!

I know, I know the happy ending is what they deserve but unfortunately…it’ll be bittersweet.

All of them stuck in machines, deserve to be free.

#spottie speaks #even tho it’s redundant with the security breach #but all is going to make sense #everything will be tied up #perhaps not with laughing at tragedy but with the sequel

s. s ave me, meoto…

#n o t me clinging to meoto to retain my sanity bc g o o d l o r d today was the worst #today was truly a very bad; very horrible day indeeeeeeed #man. today truly was a comedic tragedy in every way possible. i’d laugh if i were anyone else tbh #first i couldn’t start my workstation bc we were out of this cleaning acid thing. #t h e n this other branch lab sent over a precise amount of [reagent] that we needed to make the cleaning acid thing #*and* what’s worse was that they also demanded like. 1/5 of the acid we mixed. like bro. make it yourself mans. #but the worst part was when i tried to use a dropper to poke this sediment out of [tube i was supposed to be cleaning] #bUT THEN HALF OF THE DROPPER MELTED BC THAT BUGGER CAN’T HANDLE HIGH TEMPERATURES AAAAAAAAAAAAAA #stupid new droppers man. the old droppers could handle 100 degrees just fine. s o now the tube is clogged with melted plastic and it’s just. #life’s *really* great sometimes yk~~~~? (ʘ‿ʘ) #and so the night shift dude who came to take over the workstation against expectations seemed kinda pissed that i hadn’t started anything #and im just there. with my intestines wriggling about like internal abdominal worms. tryin not to cry in the face of my mistake. #while he’s fumin’ away like a freakin’ chimney or sth. like. man. no one asked you to take this workstation. you came here on your own. :( #anyway i ditched him and left for my break to calm myself down only to be approached by some random terribly lost middle aged to old lady #who was looking for directions to *somewhere* but she only spoke chinese aaaaaaaa #and i can’t read maps/i don’t even live in the area of my workplace so i have no idea if the lady managed to make it safely #but. lol. the lady showed me her message screen when she asked me for directions to her destination #and by pure coincidence the person she was texting is apparently related to someone with the same first name as me #the cons and cons of having common names man. i hope the lady managed to find her friend with the same name as me though lol #anyways. pls hw im begging. pls drop the crossfade for lxl birthday tmr i n e e d more meoto to carry on— #s o b s this is what im living for now ig. meoto………..

when bbc sherlock decides not to answer the central question of "why is that guy alive" it's an insult to the viewership and a betrayal of the function of the very story it is being asked in but when i, a guy on the internet writing imitation fiction of a long-defunct doctor show, decide not to answer why some guy is alive, it's an intelligent subversion of a character flaw that allows for a neat little bit of role reversal and ultimately the realization that 'not solving the puzzle' is the thing that allows you proof that you've survived, loved, and changed, and then you go to europe together and drive mopeds in rome

#also i'm not smart enough to come up with a believable medical reason why that guy would be alive #i just love his giant brown cow eyes and it's important to me that they do not go the way of the tragedy #i WANT to be a guy who's compelled by tragedy. i really do! but every time i get into something wtih that intention im like #alright but what if everything turned out okay . wouldn't that be nice? #i love pain. trauma. whump even. i just also like when they end the story laughing in a big group or whatever the fuck #doing noodle kissing like those dogs in the lady and the tramp. whatever who cares
