#hes so normal in every way forever

[mantisgodsart]

The beast coils itself from within the woods, long and ungainly, twisted horns of distorted chitin bursting from its eyes. One side of its mandibles is too long, too many eyes flaring in the recessed depths of its sockets. Its wings are twisted, its antenna long and warped, and when it opens its jaws, its speech sounds like a garbled rendition of a dying wasp's screams.

There is no sign of the messenger but his bag of goods, torn open and left by the side of the road; I fear to retrieve even that, staring the beast down as I am. The claw marks that tear his equipment asunder are too long to be of any mundane beast, and yet, as I stare down the monster before me, I fear I know precisely what they may belong to.

It jerks forwards, an unnatural movement, tripping on all too many joints as if it is a puppet on faulty strings. I do not waste time seeing what it will do if it reaches me, taking flight at once. Its wings, it seems, are for show, as it doesn't follow me even as it flares them wide and shrieks bloody murder at my flight.

I leave the last remnants of my junior behind me, guarded by the beast. I can only hope that he forgives me, wherever dead wasps roam.

one of the few moments between them where they threaten to break the act down.

he knows the answer to the first question; do you believe that? have you ever believed that? all she can do is stare at the floor, almost like she’s been caught. because she doesn’t. and he knows she doesn’t.

her role in this thing that they do is to not believe in aliens. she answered him on that first day, does she believe in the existence of extraterrestrials? she had to say no.

she can’t answer him this time, though. she stares at the floor. but he knows.

he knows the answer to the second question too, though. what do you think happened to her?

scully can stand in front of him and tell him that he’s just being emotional all she wants. tell him that it’s manipulation, that it’s impossible.

but her role in this thing is that she is the rational one, and he knows what the rational thing to think about 8 year old girls who disappear from their homes and don’t come back is.

even if it’s not this killer, even if it’s not this man, the rational thing to think is that it’s another.

so after four years of seeking and chasing and following after as he walks into the same room every day, as he wants to believe, what does she believe? what is she really saying when she says no, she doesn’t believe in the existence of extraterrestrials?

and can they keep the act up, when this is what it means?

#paper hearts #my forever favorite episode #the deepest of the series in my opinion #but god this scene is so palpable #goddd it’s the way he’s CHALLENGING her #normally her role is to say it IS a murderer #that whatever crime has been committed WAS just a man #she’s been saying that every case for years #it wasn’t aliens. it wasn’t XYZ. it’s a serial killer. #until he says ‘maybe it wasn’t aliens. maybe it was a serial killer.’ #and she FREEZES #it’s almost like he’s throwing their entire dynamic and their entire lives in her face in this moment #and he’s not doing it to be cruel he’s just like…so what now then? isn’t this what YOU believe? #but if she doesn’t ever think it’s aliens and she always thinks it’s a murderer then WHAT DOES THAT SAY about samantha!!! #what is that REALLY saying every day for years to the person who HAS to believe it’s always aliens/etc and not people #talking in circles but it makes me crazy bc they live so comfortably in their roles but you can tell he thinks about this #and he’s just like. okay then. so come out and say it. #and she can’t because she needs him to believe it’s aliens #because it’ll fucking break him if it’s not #it’ll break him if she’s right #so she won’t even say it out loud and she prays to be wrong

I have an idea for the requesttober, could you make Scriabin like an endermen? I feel that Scriabin would be an endermen if he were in Minecraft's world

Day 11 - No eye contact >:(

#My art #Requestober #Minecraft #Vargas #Scriabin #Edgar #Scriabin would make a good Enderman haha #I wonder if he'd be a bit indignant since y'know - the Nether is Right There and he's totally a demon! He needs to be from Hell! #But then there aren't really any demonic creatures in the Nether - Nether Skeletons maybe? Haha ♪ #Besides Endermen are cool! They teleport and get mad when you look them in the eyes it's very fitting lol #I wasn't sure if I wanted to give him a purple colour palette somewhere - switch out his blue glasses for purple? :0 #But I opted to just stick with the classic for greyscale :) You can imagine him as a purpley-grey haha #Man it feels like forever since I've drawn them in Minecraft haha - I have played with my Edgar skin since! #It turned into a performative art piece of throwing Edgar off every high cliff I came across - don't ask I was in a weird mood lol #Man it'd be so fun for them to do one of those modded Minecraft playthroughs where Edgar has to try to beat the game #While Scriabin has the morph mod for example and can just turn into random stuff to get in his way (or maybe help? Nah lol) #Only turns into the ''cool' mobs and then the ones that are the most effective at killing Edgar hahah ♪ #''Here I know a way you can win right away >:)'' ''Wait-'' *turns into the Ender Dragon as soon as Edgar gets stone tools* lol #It's fitting for Edgar to stay a human but it'd be fun for him to be able to morph too! #Maybe only into ''normal'' mobs lol - he turns into a sheep and Scriabin immediately dyes him red #Oh no that's a cute imagine of Enderman!Scriabin picking a red flower and then putting it on sheep!Edgar stop me now lol

ok listen. you're badboyhalo and having the worst week of your life. you're willing and wanting to give anything, anything, to get your kids back. forever, your crush/enemy/friend/date partner?/ president sits you down and asks you to marry him. he's on a drug that makes him manically happy and has an extreme level of brainwashing for federation purposes.

you consider for the briefest moment saying yes, because you're drowning in your grief and hard in bargaining, but it won't do anything to help bring the eggs back, forever doesn't know anything. forever wants the eggs back as much as you do, the real one at least, you know this.

you're surrounded by roses. you ask him what you can do to help him, what he needs, asking the forever that you know is in there somewhere. any other personal feelings aside, he's your friend and he clearly needs help. he asks you to marry him again. he tells you to stop making some noise that he's clearly hearing through auditory hallucination. you just want your kids back, you keep telling him this, until he snaps and starts shooting mines under both of you.

forever is still out of his mind. your kids are still missing. the roses are burning.

bad said no to the proposal, of course he did. that's not forever, the kids are gone, this is no time or place for such a thing even if forever was himself. but I don't think forever asked because he feels "opposite than what he usually feels" under the pills. he's manic and under the influence and half brainwashed - he wants every day to be the best day.

and how heartbreaking is that? that bad is only being proposed to while forever is out of his mind. that forever wants bad to say yes because that would make the day the best day ever for him. that under any other circumstances, on that bench with the roses all around them, it might have been something good?

#idk man like take this with a grain of salt too know but l'm taking a stand against every twt user that's been annoying me with their takes #you can't view all of this under a purely platonic lense because of the way they've been playing their characters. you also can't see it as #oh forever finally proposed!' because he's not! it's a whole fucked situation there's nuance and complications and so many factors #like don't be upset bad said no forever is clearly not himself? and who knows if he would even say yes in the first place? #but also on the opposite side like chill out? they've never been read as purely platonic? it's all fucked yeah don't be weirdly like #idk it's the people who are like that's fucked up and you're fucked up for watching it' with no media literacy. like yeah we're all aware #anyways. my view is that they've got incredibly complicated feelings towards eachother. forever would be happiest marrying bad #bad might not say yes under normal circumstances because again they've got a whole complex situation. he isn't sure of his own feelings on a #good day #idk. I need to write an essay about this and what bads internal monologue or thoughts might have been because #it's like. he's angry at forever. he has feelings for forever. he doesn't want to be with him but he doesn't want him with anyone else #there's a world where he could marry forever and be happy. but not here and not like this. idk #these are my interpretations at least! #either way the whole bench scene was phenomenal well done #z speaks #qsmp #mcyt #bbh #forever #q!bbh #q!forever #reposting this so my organizational tags work ✌️ #4halo

[grapesodatozier]

“#true love won't desert you truly a mileven thesis statement of a lyric damn” EXACTLY!!!’ Exactly.

the way mike refuses to let her ever isolate or sacrifice herself. the way he is always there for her when she needs him and vice versa. i am going to cry i love them so much

#i could go on forever about this #about them being there for each other constantly #and when el is upset mike never stops until he knows whats wrong and how to help #the way he just wants to be there for her supporting her in every way he can #from setting the tunnels on fire to protect her to crossing the country just so she doesn't have to go through something so hard alone #HOW am i supposed to be normal about them?? #el seeing mike in trouble and getting on a bus to him as soon as possible in s2 #there are a million other examples but im going to go into cardiac arrest lmao #mileven #my favorites in the whole world <3

character wrapped 2023 💥

tagged by @davidtennantpussytulpa ^-^ i didn't know how many to do so i copied tara and did top 10. i know the severance guys are Four Of Them but i can't separate them theyre all equally important to me

will graham (hannibal), em haywood (nope), aziraphale (good omens), mark & dylan & helly & irving (severance), hawkeye pierce (mash), martha jones (doctor who), ivan karamazov (the brothers karamazov), kim kitsuragi (disco elysium), stewy hosseini (succession), ruescott melshi (andor/rogue one)

i will tag... @fagician @britomart @libraryfag @roadwhores @majorbaby @globuspolski @hadleyfraserfaggot @tenderscience if u want to ^-^

#and now i will explain them all in detail #cos i started watching hannibal back in like. january or february and will immediately set up camp in my head and started to settle there #*I* pay rent to *HIM*. he lives there permanently. sweating and monologuing constantly #em was not only the character of 2022 but also of 2023 and of 2024 and the rest of the decade and all decades to come #she had such an impact on me keke palmer's performance will live with me forever and i love nope so fucking much #i almost didnt include her because nope was more of a last year obsession. but she lives on #aziraphale.........no comment #severance.......i love them all so much and at first i wanted just irving and then just helly and then i realise i cried over mark this week #and then i realised i couldnt possibly leave out dylan when hes probably my favourite character. so then i settled for all of them #hawkeye is my fucking wife. enough said #martha... well i knew i had to have a doctor who character. i thought maybe the doctor but then i thought their companions mean more to me #sometimes at least. i did have a fourteen icon for a while but then i was like but Donna..... and then i thought. well #these past few months at least martha jones has been eating away at my heart. i go batshit insane when i think about her #her impact. her grace. her power. so she had to go on the list.it was a toss up between her and donna for sure though #then i figured i had to include a karamazov since reading that book took up half of my year. and ivan was my favourite of the 3. so <3 #kim goes without saying. literally nothing to be said hes the character Of All Time. to me #stewy also goes without saying ive had so many Stewy Save Me moments since the beginning of season 4 all the way to the end of the year #i miss him every day. he is the moment. i wish there was more of him all the time #and the last one is a bit of a wildcard cos all my insanity abt melshi has been on my andor sideblog. #but rest assured ive been thoroughly Not Normal about him. he literally side appears in 4 episodes and has 11 total minutes onscreen #but i love him. so much. and hes occupied most of my thoughts since september. once again his impact his power his grace. his homosexuality #enough said. that's all. thanks for reading. this was a great year for autism and madness #tag game #🍪

Mel for the unhinged character bingo!

yessss YEEEESSSSSSSSS

#ask me #so Mel is in the unenviable position of being a very strong character whose rights I support and whose wrongs I also fully support #BUT the way she's treated broadly in the fandom is so pervasive and so consistent and so frustrating to me that #I am in full -must protect my blorbo- mode with her at all times #-Mel's story is over so the only thing left for her to do is die- #-if Mel dies then J can get together with V and they will appreciate her for her sacrifice bc she died a hero who rejected Ambessa- #enough! enough I say! #what about proving to ambessa that she can take the throne for herself? what about the angst of defying her mother and her home country #and opposing those in Piltover who DO want war and want to raze the undercity #what about the magic that she's heavily foreshadowed to have and how it's different from hextech #and how it directly opposes but also parallels what is happening to Viktor #what about her -friends- abroad and the plot Mel was cooking through all of season 1 that has not been revealed yet #there's so much potential for her to have to confront the fact that J was slowly becoming a monster through season 1 #and that she can't ignore the undercity forever #also what if whoever Ambessa says killed her brother comes after Mel too! #it is very frustrating to see Mel get dismissed as dead or evil or irredeemable or whatever when she is consistently #the most interesting person in the room in every single scene she's in and the character who shows the most conviction and change #so yeah i will take a bullet for her she is my blorbo I will despise any character who hurts her #and I would cradle her in my arms if she gave me a chance - which she would never! - but a girl can dream #however I also enjoy leaning into the idea that Mel is perceived as being a devil from the outside - Mel leans into it too when it serves #but it's in direct opposition to her ironclad values and the personality that she keeps hidden a layer down #I genuinely think that Mel will have a happy ending - or at least as happy an ending that an Arcane character can get lol #like I fully believe she will take the throne (Piltover) in the end but I can only guess at this point what that will cost her #I love putting Mel in situations but mainly to play with both how creative she can get and also how fucking far she will go to win #which is ANOTHER thing we know is probably true about Mel but has not been put on display yet #also Mel has already done a great job at separating what she wants for herself as a person from just being Ambessa's daughter #but Mel still deserves to get plenty of great therapy for that situation because OH GOD THAT CHILDHOOD FLASHBACK #also Kino is dead? maybe dead?? at least Mel fully believes he's dead so she needs therapy and hugs for that too #I am super normal about her can you tell

[upsidedowngrass]

im thinking abt liam and bryce SO much rn now. theyre dynamic is so. sorry liam. sorry bryce

#neither of them have done anything wrong and are simply two diff ppl w two diff personalities and two diff thought processes #responding to the same single event . that they didnt deserve to have to respond to but now they just Have To #and both of them regard the other w a sort of desperation around the events of s1 but in a different way #that they respond one way that contradicts how the other does #liam doesnt care what happens to himself but bryce doesnt want to lose everything #its very realistic and very tragic because they were both important for each other but the opposite of what each other wanted at all #bryce wanted to finally heal. from everything. and whether or not ignoring one was a healthy way to do so was irrelevant #he just wanted to finally heal #and liam just. he doesnt care about His Own Life. he just wants to do this One Thing at All Costs. and no one else can help him. #he wants to be known by someone. anyone really. because he cant do any of it alone but its all he knows to do now #and nothing else matters to him #the two are just. theyre so complicated and im emotional abt it #i thinka bt it a lot but i think a good way to put it is #wrt the trolley problem? liam would pull the lever. bryce wouldnt #anyway. that piece os soooo. thinks abt them forever #i think every combination of characters in one is extremely tragic #bc its normal ppl responding to a horrible situation they didnt deserve to be in but now have to respond to #and sometimes they conflict. sometimes they hurt another person when the intent was to help. sometimes its solace in the worst of ones life #but all of them are so. i think abt it a lot liam and bryce are just now the specific ones on my mind cus of my most recent rb

[afniel]

God damn I'm tired and extra dizzy today, which I've figured out some of why that happens. Evidently that's my reaction to overstimulation fatigue. Good to know, explains a lot. No idea what to do about it and I did expect to have some sucky days after going to San Francisco anyway so it's whatever, but it's nice to have figured out a specific trigger.

Except that's cool and all but I almost couldn't fold laundry today because it involved a lot of looking up and down and that was unnecessarily rough. This was after sleeping like 11 hours because my shit-ass tired-ass brain demanded a hard reboot more or less, and I'm still kind of gross today even so. Kind of glad they rescheduled the root canal I was gonna have Tuesday for like two weeks out, because I am probably not gonna be quite recovered for another week at least and dental work fucks me up also so that would have been an Everything Hurty Syndrome 2x Combo.

Bleh. At least when I'm writing chronic illness/disability it's some own voices legit type ass shit, but does it have to be, because I could do without this. My whole me hurts and nothing seems to help and also turning my head too fast will knock me the hell over. Good times. ✌️😔

#chronic illness #fibro #chronic pain #chronic fatigue #disability #like I looked up at the TV where my partner is playing FFVII Rebirth and down at my phone just now #and that was not a good plan. I got very dizzy just doing that. #The Suffering is like extra spicy recipe today because I just Don't Do Crowds and never have really #went flat catatonic once in Tokyo during rush hour on a train. that was cool. (it wasn't) #(ex had to drag my unresponsive ass to a corner and wait for me to eventually reconnect to reality) #(it took a while. he was Very Mad at me which was not a kind way to handle it.) #(like sorry we can't all be neurotypical in here. you cannot fathom how crowded the Yamanote Line gets unless you've seen it) #I did get sat on and purred at by every cat last night tho bc they could tell I was Very Not Normal so that was nice at least #I've had this as a symptom forever but I never thought about it that much until I started writing about it #I think I'm a lot more aware of it now. which honestly is probably safer for me bc who wants to fall over? #not me. done it a few times. not fun. can't recommend it.

Ketamine has such an interesting potential of a character, i wish they fleshed him out more (<- guy who is in charge of writing him)

#dot dot dot #ketamine #navy ocs #yaoi guys #hes immortal he dies in horrific ways every time he works for a witch who cursed him he developed mommy issues because of said witch #he has potentially been around for centuries hes a janitor hes an errand boy he gets special little powers that help him fight #he lost all his friends and family and hope for close connections for the rest of his immortal life hes forever in his mid to late 20s #i think hes so hard to write because hes the most Some Guy ever whilst his situation is the least normal thing a Some Guy can be in #like yes hes burdened with all of the shit he knows and goes through but also its so normal to him it hardly phases him anymore #not in the edgy hashtag broken type but in the same spirit of a customer service worker #he doesnt angst about it he just picks his disembodied arm off the floor and puts it back on and complain about how much work he needs to d

you only do the things you do for me out of obligation

#that's the difference between you and me. #u do something to help me and only stay as long as you need to and do just enough for u to check it off as task completed #and then u leave. always. #you don't actually enjoy spending time with me or anything. you just want to makd sure i stay alive #and it's frustrating because it just makes me feel guilty and shitty and want him to stop it and leave me alone forever. #like when your friend is away and leaves you in charge of their pet so you come by to feed them whenever you remember #like yh u care on some level because it's a cute dog and you'd be sad if it died but at the end of the day #it's just another item on ur to do list. #but for me hes my whole life. i wanna look after him because i would do anything to increase my interaction with him in any way #and i love every second of it. im happy to force him to go and make his food and sit down and eat because i like spending that time w him #and i want to be there for him. i genuinely enjoy it #like making sure he eats and takes his medicine when hes sick and encouraging him to sleep at a normal time #i genuinely like doing that stuff bc i like him and i will jump at the chance to have anything to do with him #but when he does similar stuff it just feels. awkward. we don't talk like we normally do and it just feels like he's monitering me #and it doesn't feel like we're spending time together. it feels like he's carrying out an obligation. which he is. #it feels so fucking wrong and uncomfortable. i cant stand it #i like when im helping him. that feels so natural #it's never awkward and i can enjoy spending that time with him #until im forced to leave #. fuck #❣

What do you mean there isn't fanfiction about my character that only I and my small group of fellow DnD players know about???

What if I want to read an in depth character study about him huh? What if I want to watch shipping discourse and laugh?? What if I want to find the most out of character fanfic out there and enjoy the shit out of it???

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO MAKE IT MYSELF

#brought to you by me being obsessed with my own little man #hes a person who's story and struggles can (and do) exist in the real world. hes so normal. so simple. #and hes trying so hard to be good and kind and helpful #and hes so resentful of the way he grew up and the responsibilities that he puts on his own shoulders #but it was all done out of love #out of obligation towards love #he doesnt have a tragic backstory to explain all of his pain #the tragedy was in all of the little every day things that shaped his entire life and soul #he carries his father's stories and sends money home and hopes all of his siblings are okay #and is so good at talking to people but not very good at making frjends #and hes a little in love but hides it to keep things safe #he is so angry and so frustrated and fueled by so much love #and he wants more than anything for someone to look at him and gently ask him if hes okay #so until someone looks at him and sees his exhaustion he will reach out to everyone around him and gently ask Are You Okay? #he will take on all of their burdens patiently and graciously for forever #because that is his job in life #that is what hes built for #and then he will lovingly tell their stories to anyone who needs it #and maybe if hes lucky someday someone will look at the storyteller instead of the story and reach out to give him a hug

i'm a horrible mother but thank you so much to my little princess for letting me play the new genshin quest before getting born

#ignore me #been having cramps for two days and the mucus plug is already gone but i havent entered labour yet #would be so funny if it started tomorrow #i will forever tell the tale that my daughter had perfekt timing since before she was born #specially cause today is her dads last vacation day and i really dont want to start labour without him here #on a more serious note though i hope birth starts soon cause for the first time in a while she hasnt been moving much which is normal but #its making me anxious as hell and i cant wait to meet her #She isnt even reacting to the stimuli the way she did before and i know thats normal a few days before birth and its supposed to take a bit #longer when its you first kid but it is so weird to just live life and not feel someone move inside of you when shes been so active since #she started moving... also my hormones have been going crazy and my whole hip area hurts i keep having panic attacks for no reason #my husband spilled a drink and it was on the table above his computer and i had a panic attack cause i got so scared that his computer had #taking any damage cause then he wouldnt be able to to his hobbies and it took me over an hour to calm down. he was so sweet and cleaned #while talking me through it and i honestly dont know what i would do without him #also been feeling like i need to shit every time i sit and its making it so weirdly uncomfortable to just exist #have a gyn appointment later today though and i hope that she can reassure me and tell me that everything is going how its supposed to go
