Reading my fave thin man and lady fic. Kicking my feet a lot because tbh. Sometimes a sad man really is just a weird woman's science project in a way that is so homoerotic

#carols.txt #when i tell you i've been re-reading this single one shot religiously every single month for almost three years I mean it #《straight》 ship so good we call it queerbaiting #LMAOOOOOO #call it yaoyuri the way these old people r tragic and doomed by the narrative or whatever #listen as a bi person on the aroace spectrum whatever this fic was trying to convey really strikes a cord #while its not the same as my own this characterization of them is so intriguing. im so hooked on it #^^ one thing i think this person really nailed was thin man's immaturity (stemming from his emotions oftentime being too big to control) -> #and the desire of attention that comes with said immaturity while also having the lady be both cold (normal) and intrigued in a way that -> #that really fits her character. curiosity is one of the many facets that make up her character that don't get explored much and i think its #done so well here for like no reason💀 THIS AUTHOR COOKED TOO HARD YOU GUYS #like ofc she wouldnt send him away. shes studying him under a microscope. even though hes annoying as hell #thin man is plagued by sassy man syndrome in this which is really fucking funny cus it lasts a total of 3 seconds before she finds him out #PLUS THE TALK ABOUT THE TOWER AND THE WORLD... AUGHHH #i need this author to give me their brain NOW #AUGHHHHHAAGGGHEEHH #everyone needs to start doing thinlady the way this person was doing it #this is the biblically accurate old people (in case my theory abt baby lady having been in the pale city is wrong) #live laugh love. its my birthday. spoiling myself a bit. goddamn.

who’s gonna hold hold you while you sleep? well it’s brave to be nothing to no one at all… when it gets tough i disappear, warm-blooded and wild, i can sense the changes in the air… clear water, still water, we could both wade… love will always last, love will always hold me down… that night i had a dream you took me dancing, it was 92 degrees at 2am, twirling my hair, it’s not everything i wished for but i didn’t care, i just liked having you there… if i could stretch these hours into a lifetime i would stretch these arms and do it at the right time, i would, in spirit you were there, well, maybe next time… now all that we’ve had is all that we have… if the family’s happy, let ‘em laugh let ‘em have their fun, my sister’s raising a baby in the house that my mother grew up… what stops me from sending the call in a midnight paranoia, hey, that’s love after all, isn’t it?… i’m not seeking a shelter, but ill be gone for a while and i don’t wanna be found… no horizon’s ever promised, so while i hold my baby in my arms i’ll count on god to wake us up by sunrise… going through your jewellery, i smile but i know you see through me, you knew who i was before i knew me, on the very first day, now i know what you’re onto, you were just looking for someone to talk to, a beautiful life to belong to, now you’re getting your way, i didn’t think i’d want to be here, but something told me i should stay, so go on mother, hallelujah for a little faith…

Area Woman Needs To Stop Forgetting That She Has Not, In Fact, Bought A Big Spool Of Cord For Piping Until She Has The Motivation To Do Piping- And Just Buy A Freaking Spool Of Cord For Piping Already

#sewing #I am not great at piping and yet I keep putting it in my projects #why am I like this #especially because I NEVER HAVE THE CORD FOR IT WHEN THE MOTIVATION STRIKES

sorry I'm gonna cringepost again.

there's something I need to expel from my brain in terms of how astarion grapples and feels resentment/disgust/derision toward the concepts of heroics and ""good"" people and the way that emrys craves deeply to be good but will ultimately always fall short of the mark (in her own mind, at least) because she's too angry + too violent + too impulsive + too outraged (toward injustice, cruelty, in the world), the paladin ideal will never be met. and how when they're put together in the same room they line up to smack each other RIGHT in the thing theyre sensitive about. astarion lays out clearly the failures of the very foundations of her belief systems, makes her grapple with the things that are too extreme, whats long since become burdens to her, and she forces him to endure the fact that there are at least a few people in the world that are willing to fight with him and for others. and they're both? scrappy people, really. and go hard in the opposite directions but on the same wavelength of... interaction; both snarky, stubborn, toe to toe on everything, admirable of resilience. sort of forced together by circumstance, but completely filling in the gaps the other's got going on. it's just where he's got the lying and the charades and the bullshit and she is so Brusque and bludgeoning through at all times that the charade is moot. completely antithetical to everything he's been doing for the last 200 yrs, which is as irritating as it can maybe be refreshing. and he makes her laugh. WHICH IS NICE.

#not really into the protectiveness thing or the 'I can fix him'--if he grows beside her that's up to him but regardless in all of that #there's security and dependability to her; in turn there's a freedom to being with him #a sort of. relinquishing of burdens. learning a bit of quality selfishness. #like I don't see astarion necessarily /directly/ thinking about how he helps her; I don't think that's really something he Comprehends on a #level where it can be put rationally into words. #(at least; not yet) #she's very much someone who's too ...... repressed really. for lots of serious contemplation on what you give the other person #but for the sake of ME comprehending. ugh what a rush it is to be around someone who is so totally delighting in the freedom of the world #ignoring the murder comments. (which also make her chortle a bit not that she would admit it. because it's so ridiculous.) there's a lot of #little awe and ridiculousness and delight he's got going on that sort of strikes a cord for what she's both #taken for granted and what she herself /lacks/ #something something he's just now free and she's still chained up to the weight of her own oaths & expectations #which is a very DIFFERENT kind of binding to what he had going on but there's enough there to strike a cord with her #and on the inverse. again. she's such a /solid/ grounding presence. which starts out unfathomably irritating but is undeniably secure #if she surprises him it's only in the small interpersonal because she's /so/ constant. nothing weathervane about her. #except for when she can be Encouraged toward something mildly chaotic or ridiculous (which she can) #I dont know I just ... find his endless fluidity next to her stalwart-to-a-fault to be. COMPELLING. #how do you move and flit and con around someone so unyieldingly real. #easily. but also extremely difficult when she doesn't buy into the bullshit either. #she's not trusting enough and most definitely not naive enough to believe in the goodness of others. demands it anyway. and such and such. #oc. emrys

sick to my stomach the more i research ana mendieta. she was shaken to her core about the rape and murder of sarah ann ottens, a fellow student at her university, and expressed her own trauma and anguish about the event and the sexual violence against women in general in related art projects, and years down the line is taken from the world in a violent manner, likely from her husband's doing. and the cycle of disgust and disregard for a woman's life continued, furthering the abuse of the dead with some making racist proclamations about ana as if explanations to her demise. both women met horrific ends, both their deaths remaining unsolved, theres no words.

#rape mention #her entire body of work strikes a cord with me she was truly inspiring in everything she created #ana mendieta

There's this one post from a really old hetalia blog I saw once but I can't find anymore :((

It talks about how the personifications will stick with each other or stay in contact no matter how bad their relationships get because their the only ones of their kind and I haven't been able to forget that

Like being willing to stay with someone, even though you're both bad for each other, just for the sole reason that nobody else understands you like them is such a good premise for a dangerously toxic relationship (platonic or otherwise)

#it also strikes a personal cord for me #the post puts it more eloquently and that's why I want to find it #so if anyone knows the post I'm talking about I'd be so grateful #hetalia #hws #aph #type: text

Okay, but when Fjord first has his vision of Uk’otoa and says, “I saw the eye”—King looked kind of terrified. For a brief moment, did all those nightmares of the Somnovum just come crashing back—

A facial study of this piece from kuropin.

The original piece struck me by how three dimensional it was. The effect was partially made by the shading and partially how the lineart felt like it was bending along the 3-dimensional plane of her face.

My findings: I don't think I was was able to capture the same wideness and doe-eyed look of the the original piece, the eyes in the original are so precise. But I think the study of the hair and curls was enlightening.

((I got permission from kuropin to post the findings of my study))

#my art #i have been watching more youtube videos about trading out styles and doing more studies of pieces that strike a cord with u #no tracing was done for the study since I was trying to teach myself about form #im debating reblogging the original piece and adding my study in my reblog #i might do more of these kind of studies.. not for the reblog engagement but so I have a place to journal what I'm learning

not really caring about intellectual integrity on letterboxd is such a thrill. yeah I rated the room five stars. do you know how happy it made me to watch that shit

#cor.txt #but I am maintaining it for some things. some movies didnt strike a cord but im not going to rate them low I know how well made #they were. and persuasion (2022) despite at this point kind of being a comfort movie got the half star it deserved

Angel being turned into a puppet is perhaps the funniest thing they've ever done. I love how the writers clearly became aware over time that Angel's overly serious broody nature is actually hilarious when played off something completely ridiculous

#normal things that happen in the buffyverse #like both shows strike such a great cord between extreme ridiculousness and actually meaningful moments #the fact that they have angel deliver a pretty important character speech in terms of emotional development. as a puppet.

Despite being desperate for anything Signalis adjacent, I'm strongly holding back from watching any "what does it mean?" videos because to me...that's not the point?

It was a very personal experience going through it and I don't want my own feelings to be replaced by generally accepted theories.

#It's still making me itch for the same feeling #I'm even reading the king and yellow and its not sntirely striking the same cord... #Signalis

i can refer to myself as girly. my moots can call me that. my friends can call me that. that’s it.

#this is the zaina bubble #being called a girl by everyone else is irking me sm currently #like idk maybe i’m exaggerating #but it’s striking a cord in a not good way
