If Aziraphale is willing to Fall to save Job's children, how much more is he willing to do for Crowley? *Deep breath* IF AZIRAPHALE IS WILLING TO FALL TO SAVE JOB'S CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE IS HE WILLING TO DO FOR CROWLEY? *DEEP BREATH* IF AZIIIIRAPHAAALE

One of the best parts of Fellowship of the Ring is finding out about Aragorn and Bilbo’s friendship. Like I’ve seen people talk about how they collaborated on the song together, but I have yet to see people talk about this:

“[Bilbo] turned to Strider. ‘Where have you been, my friend? Why weren’t you at the feast? The Lady Arwen was there.’”

Bilbo Baggins, The Fellowship of the Ring pg. 261

Like. Bilbo was definitely one of Aragorn/Arwen’s chief shippers and no one can change my mind about that.

#Help I forgot their ship name #aragorn x arwen #but anyway Bilbo and Aragorn is an underrated friendship that needs to be brought up more #Especially since Bilbo is actually one of the closest in age to Aragorn in Rivendell #only like 40 years apart #As compared to the couple thousand years of Elladan and Elrohir #you can’t tell me those two didn’t bond over the crazy shit in the last ~hundred years they lived through #or that Bilbo didn’t use “well I’m older” at least once in conversation with him #because Bilbo’s a little shit and has to remind Aragorn that he’s the youngest guy there before the Fellowship and the Council #just imagine Bilbo watching Aragorn and Arwen skirt around each other for 17 years bc they have to wait until Aragorn’s king to get married #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #just yelling into the void #the lord of the rings #aragorn #bilbo baggins #arwen undomiel #the fellowship of the ring #tolkien quotes #quotes

okay i have to say i am actually a strong defender of Snake That Makes You Evil. it sounds stupid on paper but thats only if u take it at face value? i do actually think the concept is crazy good what with the venom slowly corrupting how garmadon thinks about things and him being fully aware but unable to stop it.

its also not Just the venom that makes him evil. in the spinjitzu brothers books you can actively watch the fsm and wu and… really EVERYONE around garmadon become more and more wary of him despite not much really changing. it becomes a permanent blight on him that he is repeatedly told he needs to cure. but he hasnt really even changed in his own eyes

i personally prefer it to have been a pure fateful accident but the involvement of the overlord in the bite makes it arguably even more tragic. it becomes more than a childish mistake. garmadon was doomed from the moment he was born.

#ninjago #PLEASEEEEE read the soinjitzu brothers books if you can. its such crazy insight into wu and garmadons characters #every day i think abt shezada being like ‘oh youre the eveil one? makes sense’ with literally no explanation #also no offense. but i think ppl forget that his Evil Transformation happened over literlaly like. hundreds of years #its not like he got bit and was immediately evil #ik they show it kinda like that in the first flashback of the bite.m #but he was able to hold off the full effects of the venom until literally like mmmaybe a decade before the pilots #thats hundreds or even thousands of years. all that time of the venom corrupting him and he still fought for love !!!!!!!#ohhh my god also just remembered in the most recent spinjitzu bros book when they paint him as clearly having depression. Whatverrrrr #unrelated. but mann those books r so good #OH MY GOD JUST FOUND OUT THE SERIES GOT CANCELLED. KILLING MYSELF

something that bugs me about Frieren is that the adventure of the Hero Party to slay the Demon King famously took 10 years... what about the return trip....?

#sousou no frieren #frieren: beyond journey's end #frieren at the funeral #haven't written anything down but I'm trying to make a mental timeline #girl the math isn;t mathing #yeah sure the way back could be shorter bc Mr. Hero Completionist solved everything but surely travel alone would take some years??#even if the manga made it look like they had a cart all the way from the north to back #also 10 years can't include the return trip already bc just making it to the goddess monument took 7 #unless they made it to Ende and back in 3 years somehow #(not impossible tbh maybe Himmel decided to speedrun to [REDACTED])#btw Himmel started the journey at 16!! WILD!!!#so he'd be 26 when he slayed the Demon King and 76 when he died #weird that he's so skrunkly and bald at that age esp since Heiter aged more gracefully #but maybe terminal yearning just does that to you. who knows!!#btw he's still strong as fuck being able to travel far and defeat monsters solo just before he died #I forgor Frieren's timeline I think she was already a couple centuries old when she met Flamme #then Flamme dies some 50 years later. and it takes a few hundred more years before she joins the hero party at which point she's already #around a thousand years old #will I read the manga again to take notes? probably I feel deranged enough #IF I'M MISSING ANY DETAILS FEEL FREE TO SLAP ME WITH IT

separating dental insurance from normal medical coverage and making it fucking impossible to navigate is evil, actually

#i don't have a dentist rn because i have switched insurance 3 times in 3 years #and i just got my new insurance in january and i never got a fucking insurance card #anyway this tooth issue from a couple years ago came back in force last week #and so I'm trying to find someone to look at it but most places don't take emergency patients if you haven't been there before #half the dentists in my area are known for telling people they have 30 cavities so i do NOT want to walk in with an actual problem #and there's a dental urgent care but they don't say what insurance they take and my insurance phone tree is not telling me what is fucking #covered #jesus fucking christ #and I don't know if I'm looking at a couple hundred or ten thousand dollars here #i think this tooth is going to have to go eventually but i don't know if it has to go NOW #screaming #maybe i just do not eat any hot or cold food for the next three months????#op

the major appeal of the Corn Maze is tapping into the human experience of Being Surrounded By Maize During Harvest . i love you corn and i love walking in circles under an autumn sun while you rustle gently and smell exactly as you always have for the past many hundreds of years at this same time in this same spot. effervescent

#i love where i live. at all times of the year there's always some ancient simple thing that direct-hits the timeless human experience button #me in the wintertime: wow for thousands of years we have huddled in shelters and put wood on the fire and thought about spring #me in the spring: wow for thousands of years someone has gone out and tapped the first tree of the season and saved up the sap #me in the summer: wow for thousands of years somebody has weeded squash here. beans even #me in the fall: i have GOT to be surrounded by corn so i can feel exactly the way im supposed to at this time. in this place #like it's not my ancestral experience. im not from here. we were in abruzzo until like eighty years ago. they dont have corn there #but at this time in this place there is corn and there has always been corn in this place. and i get to experience that. how COOL #at this time in this place there are maple trees and eastern white pines and there have been those trees #since as long and longer as there have been humans to look at them here. how COOL #harvest technology changes. populations change peacefully and then forcefully . the climate changes and is changing now #but for now. and for a time before me. there's corn here. and everyone who was here walked around in the corn #and if we are lucky then five hundred years from now someone can still plant and stand in and listen to the rustle of the corn

I wonder how many people before us have been in relationships that challenge the definitions of friendship and romance. It’s something that’s becoming more popular in my generation, but only on a... personal level. It’s more frequent, but it’s still a niche. I learned about other possibilities from my friends and from the internet, but it’s still not in mainstream media. Not in movies, in series, in books. It never was. I’m slowly discovering how freeing it is to live relationships outside of set boxes, and it’s something I’m discovering by myself. Partly because I have friends in open relationships and QPRs... and partly by just thinking “screw it, I might as well listen to what I want regardless of the rules, and see where it takes me”. Maybe it would have taken me longer without the help of the internet and other people’s experiences, but maybe I still would have found that freedom just by listening to myself. Someone must have done it first, right?

So I’m thinking... how many other people before me did that? How many, before they’d ever heard it was possible, built relationships outside of the norm? How many decided to ask out their crush who was already in a couple, and all three made it work? How many made out with their friends in a completely platonic way? How many raised families together with someone they had a deep affection for but no romantic love, and both knew it and were content with it?

How many people discovered the freedom of just listening to their wants and needs, without following the rules? How many people quietly challenged the established definitions of relationships, that we never heard about? Because they’re not chronicled in stories, because we only ever write about the romantic love interest, the best friend, the confidante. But there’s so much more complexity to human relationships, I cannot believe we’re just now starting to explore it. Others before us must have built something different, and thought that they were alone, that they were pioneers. I wish I could know about them, I wish more people today could now that something else is possible.

#this is about polyamory and open relationships and QPRs and relationship anarchy #if you're with the right people life gets so much better when you stop following the rules of what relationship is supposed to work whch way #i'm feeling emotional thinking about all the people before me who came to that realization #on their own #without the help of hundreds or thousands of other people on the internet #because fuck it the internet as we know it has only been around for what? twenty years?#but the complexity of feelings and relationships is inherent to the nature of human beings #you can't put it in neat boxes #it just doesn't work #i wish i could know about all the other people before me #who came to that realization and felt the incredible freedom #of not having to tie your brain up in knots trying to figure out what your feelings meant #or having to shove them under the rug because society says it wouldn't work out #and i really. really. really want more people to break out of those rules and experience the happiness of just. listening to your feelings #and building a relationship tailored to those feelings

(alfendi design inspired by @/teenytinyapprentice !)

#i think if i could go back and get all my old tests and schoolwork and my old sketchbooks and such and counted how many times i drew #this guy itd be up in the hundreds if not the thousands #hes my favorite bad rep hes my silly rabbit. He has a myspace blog he puts his milk in before his cereal #the first one is inspired by art nouveu aesthetics... its not very noticeable but i tried to incorporate blending techniques AN artists used #as well as plant imagery and the warm overtones of the pieces of the time #and the second one is inspired by 60s psychedelia (even though lbmr takes place in the 80s by my count) because #60spsych art was in turn inspired by art nouveau!#also i really wanted to try something different #im not suuuuper proud of this.... it didnt take me that long to make #but i like it :) 12 year old me would be so happy #art #professor layton #illustration #alfendi layton #layton brothers mystery room #lbmr

what are your thoughts on the rhys darby merman? I saw people calling it cringe and while I do think darby's performance in that scene was.. a bit not it, the idea itself is really funny and cool to me idk

okay honestly i think i'm gonna have an extremely niche opinion on this because i am like. clinically insane about mermaids like seriously i've been begging my parents to get me one of those swimmable fins since i was like 8 and then i ended up buying one for myself on the internet w my pocket money when i was like. 12-14 idk?? coz they refused to and now i own three. so. literally any opinion i could have on mermaid stede is trumped by me being distracted by the tail coz it's like. they spent so much time and effort on it and it's still kinda bad like omg i can see like so many ways they could've done it better because they literally painted each individual scale which is SO MUCH EFFORT. but the way they laid the scales makes it look like the pattern is just printed on like it's literally a 3d hand painted tail that looks like they got it for 30 dollars on ebay especially bc the silicone doesn't have enough hold so you can still see the human legs under it like you would with a regular printed tail. like if they just overlaid the scales instead of putting them next to each other that'd already be a major improvement like. i cant find the specific video now but like ppl DIYing silicone tails at home usually overlay the scales and it just immediately looks so much better. also i'm not rly a fan of big flashy side fins but that's just personal taste but like tldr they clearly spent a lot if time and effort and money on the tail and it's sad because with a few minor adjustments it could've looked wayyy better

as for like the actual scene i think it's extremely good and cute and the ppl who dislike it hate fun and need to let camp into their hearts. ed's face going all soft and lovey has been playing in my mind on loop ever since and that's not a joke

#sorry I've spent years of my life watching ppl make tails and watching ppl swim with them and #I've made my own and i own 2 monofins and 3 tail skins and if i was slightly more insane and #slightly less poor I would've had a silicone one custom made but thankfully I held back coz #those shits are INSANELY expensive like. hundreds to thousands of dollars #sorry for the random lore dump lol i dont think I've ever talked abt this before #it all started when my mother showed me an article when i was around 8 that was about a #man who had a mermaid tail he would wear to swim in a creek near his house and #she was like wow isn't he so weird i bet he's gay:/ and i was like he is the coolest person i have ever fucking seen #i wonder how he is now ..... also yeah he came out as gay and i think has a husband but it's been a few years since I checked so idk #i got mail!

"cleopatra faced oppression" the fuck she did oh my god i hate y'all so much

#personal #i thought we couldn't get any stupider than 'cleopatra was culturally black' because like....no #because a) someone's idea of 'culturally black' varies from country to country #and b) what an american for instance would consider 'culturally black' is based on idea that's at max a hundred years old #but no cleopatra the literal queen descended from an incestuous colonizer dynasty ruling one of the richest countries on the mediterranean #did not 'face oppression' where was she facing oppression she OWNED SLAVES #the closest that woman ever came to facing oppression was like maybe the last week of her life when octavian was in alexandria #but even then not really???#and they're so clearly not talking about any gender discrimination that she dealt with because this whole thing #is a defense of that stupid 'no cleopatra was black actually we promise'#god i'm getting anti cleopatra pilled by ahistorical bullshit i'm gonna end up hating her before the year is out at this point #also can we please focus on like any other egyptian queens ever #why's it always cleopatra's macedonian ass in the spotlight egypt has thousands of years of history #and a good chunk of those thousands of years did actually have female primary rulers #who were ethnically egyptian to boot #like goddamn there's more to egypt than just the cleopatra show and a lot of it is much more interesting

Hi! So, I'm just starting reading Equals In Life and omg. How the heck were you able to write this full thing in more or less a month??? I am staring in both admiration and a little bit of terror because that's a super power if anything is!

hi !! I hope you like the fic! It was recently re-edited, so hopefully it's a bit better than what it was a couple weeks ago.

I actually answered an ask like this a while ago, here's the link to that, so that I don't rehash everything I already said haha

but to make a long story short, I was struggling at uni, in that I didn't want to go anymore. I was fully burnt out, and frankly I can't remember anything that's not equals in life from my last semester 😭 And writing the fic provided the escapism I needed to not go absolutely insane, and it was actually something I enjoyed, which reminded me that yeah, things can actually be enjoyed in life and not just suffered through lol. So I'd write constantly cause it made me happy, and if I wasn't writing I was thinking about the fic, so the plot was quickly sorted out in my mind.

It also helped that there wasn't a chapter that I didn't enjoy writing. Every chapter had at least one scene, or a piece of dialogue, or something, that I was excited to write. So it was very easy to always want to write.

the stuff I mentioned in the other post are relevant too! especially the thing about being unsure if I was capable of writing an entire fic

To make a long story even shorter : it was the mental illness

Bonus: I'm sure you can imagine what happened to me when I actually finished the fic..... I lost the one thing holding me together, so I dived head first into a new one. But I have mellowed in the last few months, and writing is no longer my sole reason for existing...but maybe that's bc I finished uni idk (btw i did get my degree and passed all my exams with a pretty good average, which I still can't believe happened)

this answer is a bit scattered sorry, it's 7 in the morning rn lol. Thank you for the ask, it's always nice to chat about writing. And I really hope you like the fic!! I'd love for you to let me know what you thought of it!! I'm pretty sure it contains a part of my soul, so be gentle haha

xx

#oh also since finishing equals in life i have written hundreds of thousands of words #i still write a LOT I just have a few WIPs on the go so none of them are quite finished #but there should be another fic over 200k coming out before the end of the year #ask #fic : equals in life (partners in death)

guys i've been my own boss for so long that the prospect of going back to work full time is honestly making me very annoyed. i just want to write my stories and make my own animated short film. i don't want to animate things that have to match somebody else's vision. i didn't realize how creatively free i felt during this break until today, when i got back to work, and i kept finding myself being frustrated that i have to animate something that isn't mine. i know part of this is just me having to get back in the groove of working, and i also know this is the only way i'll make a liveable wage, and i know turning down the job now would be a bad move because we're in a recession and we have to take what we can get, BUT LIKE. i'm just. feeling so annoyed right now

#em dashes #ahhthhhhghhghfjhj what do i have to do to fund my own projects #i know people are like 'do a patreon! get kickstarter!'#should i do that? how do i even get it off the ground? i know there must be hundreds and thousands of people trying to kickstart their stuf #there's no guarantee of success. how do i make people care enough to give me money #my youtube is monetized now but it'll be years before it actually starts raking in a proper wage and not just like 3 cents per video
