#god you got me hooked on this

[wtfgaylittlezooid]

I have one strange villains ship-Scarecrow x Ragdoll.

YOU CANT JUST SEND ME THAT WHEN I HAVE A HISTORY OF GETTING OVERLY ATTACHED TO RAREPAIRS‼️

God this is all you sent and my brain already took this and started RUNNING:

Scarecrow absolutely adores Ragdoll’s contortion. It’s such a beautiful mixture of grotesque, chilling, and impressive that he can’t help but stare whenever Ragdoll shows off.

Ragdoll teaching Jon exercises to get his body more flexible, since Jonathan wants to make himself scarier in every way possible

Jonathan introducing Peter to the crows one by one, only for the birds to peck and chew at the ribbons. It doesn’t take long before they figure out how to unravel the ribbons and start wrapping themselves up and them to play.

Peter taking an extra risk to steal something else that isn’t even that valuable, but he knows that Jonathan would love it. Example: one time he broke into someone’s apartment just to grab some quick money and ended up walking out with a VHS copy of The Thing.

The night ends with Peter barely looking at the screen while bundled up with Jonathan while the taller man kept shoving him and telling him to LOOK because he needed to know what was happening to understand.

a rug hook commission for @stickynotebirds! :O (who also drew the original sketch/design and I tweaked it a little bit)

#rug hooking #artists on tumblr #fiber art #had a very fun time working on this :] #I think this is the biggest one I've done so far (20x20) so that was really fun to see when it was completed #-squints- I think actually 20x21? mfhgj the backing fabric either got a wee bit stretched on the frame #or because the yarn is kinda packed in on this one haha #forgot to take a pic of the back but I printed out these little fabric tag labels to sew on #sending international mail had me sWEATING hahaha #but thank god for online making things so much easier where you just print it out/slap it on and it's fine >:'D #edit: wanted to wait till it arrived safely to post this (and it has!!)

Really fun how many time Matt tries to do anything with the gods or religion the fandom refuses to engage with the narrative and starts foaming at the mouth in barely concealed unprocessed Christian religious trauma.

#i got therapy for that babes!!! #critical role #cr discourse #im not watching c 3 #cause i dont like kt #but this was just as annoying eith calamity and the Beacon in cr2 #it was so funny eith Asmodeus #people fell for it hook line and sinker #like Matt is not interested in gods wholly bad edgy atheist shit #go watch fantasy high they unpack that if that's what you want #but like the cultureally christian #edgy atheist shit in this fandom jumoed out #i was raised catholic and it sucked #but i went to therapy about it #instead of frothing at fictional dnd gods #im still not over poeple calling the Luxon a cult #made me want to die #fellas is this religon that encourages questioning it and stresses the power of choice a cult #also to even compare a polytheistic system... #and like we are playing a campaign whete the gods are imperfect and thats a theme #you can do it #im not against it #the gods don't need to be wholly good #but god is the fandom annoying #and also you are all so culturally Christian and should acknowledge that

Shake hands.

#what's it meeeaan #what do these looks meeannn #Chico’s face is like (coworker voice) what I don’t get a hug too? #umm yeaaaa this silent exchange is so funny to me #it reminds of like grade school when you get in a fight w someone and you're sooooo mad about it #but then the second the principal asks you if you're willing to forgive and apologise #you're like both bawling bc being in a fight is so scary actualy lol and also sucks #bc not only does everyone now know this guy got to you so bad you lost your entire shit about it #you also got in trouble for it lmao #and thank god a higher power is letting you off the stubborn prideful hook you attached yourself to pffffff #oz hbo #hbo oz #miguel alvarez #chico guerra #otto sanchez #kirk acevedo #my gifs #(ok this was the gif set I was actually trying to make yesterday when i was testing the other clips) #(but I decided to try and clean up the Jpeg artifacts and it was making the whole process take 400% longer) #(at least they look a little better quality now? idk)

I just finished Skypeia AGHHHFJHHHH it was so GOOD

#One Piece #My favorite arc BY FAR #It was really long! But it wasn’t Alabasta long!! #Also Noland’s backstory deadass made me tear up that shit was so sad #Idk this arc just really kept me hooked. Like there wasn’t really a point I got super bored #Even with all the fights going on #Also just realizing they mentioned Noland in OPLA too. Nami read Zoro the book while he was totally conked out #Anyway ANYWAY I really enjoyed it. Lots of fun character interactions #And Usopp actually getting to do stuff too?? MY MANS #Oh and Zoro’s look this arc. God he was STYLIN. I’m so weak for a man in goggles shut up. #Logically that should apply to Usopp too and you know what. Yeah. #G8 is next and I know it’s filler but I’ve heard nothing but praise for it #So I’ll probably watch it instead of skipping :’D #Shima speaks #Also I find it stupidly ridiculous and funny that YET AGAIN Oda said ‘Lol you thought x character was dead?? SIKE’ #Wiper got electrocuted and died like eight times but he’s fine actually. Also Sanji and Usopp got electrocuted too and were out #for like a full day. And then Enel zapped them AGAIN and Usopp was back on his feet like two minutes later. #Silly anime logic. It doesn’t make sense and I love it

Hmm brain just conjured up another fictional little guy; at this rate, I am eventually going to run out of room to accommodate all of these fictional little guys, they will have to find a motel or something

#writing #writeblr #writer things #his name is tommy because that is the first name that came to my head #dark curly hair tanned skin hooked nose and dimples and dark eyes #an easygoingness and just genuine passion about him that's contagious #he may be a mechanic and wears loose oversize clothing a too long red button up with the sleeves rolled up #he smokes more out of habit and boredom than wanting to do it he hates it #he's got that classic awkward nerdy but strangely appealing best friend in a movie or show kind of vibe to him #except instead of being in that standard best friend role he is currently trying to usurp the role of love interest in my mind in the vague #new wip i had been thinking about making #though maybe i should make a new wip as this other wip is already new and has different vibes but... #i have made three new wips in the span of the last few days i am not making another i am not i am not #shoe meet horn #he's also mentally ill and the narrative is going to be f*cking normal about it #alright maybe i'll make a new wip #god am i going to make a new wip #my other brand new characters staring at me as i barely even got them off the ground yet like really come on dude #but don't worry oh god I remembered a 4th wip from the past two weeks don't worry bennett i haven't forgotten you #and the several hundred others up there #hmmm thinking about tossing him into a scifi #yes he looks suspiciously similar to some of my other ocs but different maybe i'm pulling a t*m b*rton #and hiring the same actor for all my movies

I'm actually kind of mad after wearing a knee brace (with patella support!) for 2 days because I just went down for breakfast not wearing it and my kneecap was wobbling loosely in its socket like it's done for years and I could FEEL how wrong it was and just had the biggest "you LIVE like this??!" moment and now i GUESS I am wearing a knee brace every time I go near stairs forever because it turns out it's not ideal if parts of your body have their own plans for every joint movement.

Mobility aids <3

#mad at myself for not even noticing it was weird even though I've known I have the stretchy joints for years now #honestly I need a full like. Scientific observation from behind glass hooked up to machines and doing silly little tasks for science week #please find out what is happening in here #I also got 1 ankle support and out of curiosity slept in it last night #and omg one foot resting upright made me realise how much the other was flat on the bed #when I lay on my back #the same thing that got me diagnosed in the first place #the rheumatologist who'd just told me I don't have cancer because of the bloodwork had me lie down to examine #he took one look at my flat fuck friday feet and like actually yelled in alarm and recoiled #which took some explaining #anyway he poked and prodded me but he already had said 'oh you have hypermobility and it's given you fibro' #this is why specialists also have to keep up with all the other medicines too :P #(i spent a weekend with my medic friend recently and she has Stories oh my god) #(was too busy talking to look at my feet even as I told her I'd dislocated my ankle and knee as we talked XD) #POINT IS I'm very slow to notice things about my condition #I quit chocolate for a year because I worried it was giving me migraines #and was too busy having migraines to notice the chocolate wasn't what gave me migraines

actually speaking of here's a link to read melusine on internet archive and here's another link to read it on another site where it looks like you can also download a pdf. the books were out of print for a while but when i just googled it looks like the whole four book series got rereleased as ebooks this past summer under sarah monette's new writing name katherine addison, which you may recognize if you read the goblin emperor which i would also recommend. actually you know what here's the goblin emperor on the internet archive too that's also really good

#if you like gay wizards & assassins & tragedy & people who can't talk about their feelings & dangerous situations u will like melusine #especially if you also like mazes. the series is called the doctrine of labyrinths #if you like sad kids thrust into sudden power and also airships and political intrigue you will like the goblin emperor #if you want epubs of either of these dm me i'll hook u up #chatpost #i should look at stuff on the internet archive more i always forget about it as a resource #the world building in both series is really good. esp melusine imo bc it has a lot of gods and magic rules but goblin emperor also good #even if i never got around to reading the second one #I WILL i just need to reread the first first

athena liu is so. like she's SOOOOO like she HATED herself for what she did and that hate and lack of self-respect made it impossible for her to love ppl properly, so she DIDN'T & ended up revering them, horrifically, turned their trauma into the next nyt bestseller and made them complicit in it all the while. her frightful inability to make a genuine connection that wasn't founded how pain can be commodified is so harrowing. like. she was exactly as the industry wanted her and we see through june how it rotted her from the inside out

#when the only way you can be seen as an author is to continuously sift thru you & your family's trauma #you can't envision yourself any other way #'that's your marketing point; being a chinese tragedy.' #drunk Athena asking 'do you think they hate me? do you think everyone secretly hates me #and no one will tell me? #would you tell me if you hated me?' was when i KNEW she was gonna be SUCH a rose quartz #it's the posthumous character corruption #it's the 'will you just talk to me‚ for once‚ like a real person?!' #its the MOMMY ISSUES #but. just. god #what a fuckin graveyard #and yes r.f. kuang you got me hook line and fucking sinker with the girlcrushing okay. #the two of them giddy and screaming and jumping over her book letter #& the intimacy of the both of understanding each other's exact dream made me ILL #yellowface

Paper girls was one of the most honest genuine portrayals of being a 12 year old girl I've ever seen. Even apart for them fact all this shit is happening around them they are still 12 year olds with 12 year old problems.

The period scene in particular was one of the best, truest scenes I've ever seen. It was beautiful, funny, awkward. It was perfect. 

It is so fucking authentic. Everyone rightly leans on how powerful the performances are, but you also get such a range in the writing. The period scene, the sleepover scene, the gentle bickering, the in-your-face meltdowns, the gremlin run up the stairs--it's all so perfectly tuned to what kids are like. And it never talks down to them; the rare time an adult tries to imply a situation is over their heads, they're instantly shot down. Because kids around that age are smart. They're learning who they are, how the world works, what their individual moral compass looks like, and it means they don't get things right every time, but they're capable. They can in one moment be reassuring and kind, and the next snappish and closed-off. This show allows room for that without ever feeling like a deviation from character, which is...frankly really impressive.

It always strikes me--in the best way possible--that these girls are all allowed to be mean. They're allowed to be catty, to be vulgar, to say the wrong thing with good intentions (Tiff pointing out KJ's missed her puppy's whole life), or the barbed thing because they're just being a dick (Mac's "you don't have to talk all the time" followed by KJ snickering). They aren't forced into stereotypical boxes, true, but they also aren't forced to be Sweet and Pretty and Kind. They can be those things, sure; when Erin's falling apart, everyone's there to catch her, and when Tiff's walkies are stolen, Mac's got her back, and when Mac is facing mortality, KJ won't let her do it alone or give up on herself. But they're also not always gentle with one another. A lot of the time, they butt heads. Sometimes they punch each other in the face. Sometimes they have to apologize and mean it for the friendship to continue, and it strengthens their bond every time. Sometimes they're stupidly reckless, lobbing the single brain cell from one girl to the next: Tiff running after the backpack, Mac going off on her own in the middle of the night, KJ stealing the motorbike, Erin getting drunk at a party. And sometimes they're so level-headed in the face of panic. They are all allowed to be incredibly nuanced, so full of life and hope and fear and anger. They're never dumbed down, even when they act like dipshits. I cannot remember the last show that not only took into account what historical periods were actually like, but what young girls are actually like to this degree. I will be gutted if we don't get a pickup, because, Jesus, imagine the growth in coming seasons.

#ask #paper girls #paper girls spoilers #i am literally interested only in thinking about this show and my grief for it is enormous #the arcs! the depth and weight every character is given without ever feeling forced! #the plot is not without its flaws it's true--there are holes and some confusing elements #but i am so confident further seasons would smooth a lot of that out #the first run was about establishing this world and in the world of paper girls everything is so fucking bonkers #that what REALLY matters is these four kids #if we're not on board with them nothing else will ever stick #so the first season did the right thing. the smart thing. in fleshing out these flawed wonderful characters and making them so human #that even from their first scenes you have a sense of what you're working with--but you still only know enough to be hooked #and the rest of the season is about 'looking a little deeper' and seeing how many layers each of them possess #it's a slow burn without ever feeling slow and it doesn't talk down to them at all and i! am! furious! at the idea that it got cut short #i am absolutely praying legendary knows what they're doing #i mean. they've spent money retaining the rights right out the gate and announcing it's in need of a new home. that gives me some hope #i just really really want them to prove me right on that count #because these girls have so much further to fly and GOD this cast is perfect. i would be heartbroken to lose them after all they've given

Kazutora in the anime reminds me again how he kept wanting to save Mikey even in Bonten and how he was not just fulfilling Baji's will of taking care of Mikey but also his OWN desire to save the friend who saved him from the black dragons, and also saved him by forgiving him.

Kazutora wanted to distance himself from others in fear of betrayal in the start, and it was Mikey who helped him open up and accept help from his friends, promising they would all protect eachother. It would have made so much sense to make it a whole circle by having Kazutora be the one to also reach out to Mikey while suffering from his dark impulses, making Mikey accept help from all his friends who love him, so he can be saved. Toman's true purpose of protecting eachother would be fulfilled, along the goals of the past timeline kazutora's. Because really, the way the story was written, Kazutora as a character was not finished until he freed Sano Manjiro from his suffering and they got to be close again, after healing from both their pasts.

Because really, Mikey was never saved, even though that was the whole point. No, re-living your life where everything is perfect and fine isn't healing. What it means to be saved, is to fully confront your past and acknowledge what happened, mend relations with others, and learn to still love and be loved. Mikey wasn't saved because they created a false reality where there was nothing to even be healed from. A big part of Mikey's character is being lonely at the top, pushing others away, and becoming isolated. How come, even in the "perfect" timeline, there is still mention from Mikey of being lonely?? Even if it's a half hearted joke, it makes no sense.

What was the point even, then. To save everyone? Even though the ending contradicts itself. To "save" everyone the way they did, they had to in the process, deem everyone who grew with trauma as irredeemable and unsaveable. Why did Mikey even reach out to Izana then? It makes sense, if the story is telling the reader, no matter how much you messed up, no matter how much you lost, you can still turn your life around and be happy, that no one is too far gone. Mikey approaches Izana as a brother, despite him killing Emma and wanting to destroy him, because he saw himself in Izana. They BOTH needed help. None of them got it. "Mikey, there is no way to save me, right?" No, I guess not, according to the ending. No one can actually turn back time. We can only live with what happens to us. Guess we are all fucked then.

#mikey i love you and kazutora never saved you biggest L ever to exist #mitsuya was so close to mikey too. he was the last one close to mikey in manila timeline. its so fucked he never confronted him in the end. #god the founders were just not treated with respect at all. #SORRY I GOT MAD AT THE ENDING AGAIN #should i tag this? fuck it sure lol #tokyo revengers #sano manjiro #kazutora hanemiya #hanemiya kazutora #every episode i will be reminded whag this story actually was. Great. someone hook me up to copium QUICK ASAP!!!!!!
