#it's the classic 'they were murdered'

[cherry-the-hok]

Finally fucking figured out Cherry's backstory lol

#I have had her as a concept for literal YEARS #god #I don't even know how long I've been making nameless pink-haired elves for #but she has been a named OC for at least three or four years now #and I still haven't fully figured out her backstory #insanity #in my defense I got distracted with Kinara #I should just #remember how long it takes me to make an OC the next time I have an idea #anyways #I had always known I wanted her parents to be present prior to the start of the game but not after #but I just didn't know how I wanted to do that #and I sorta have a fix now #sorta #still need to further flesh it out lols #but I at least have the general concept #it's the classic 'they were murdered' #shot dead if you will #I suck at this lol #idc it's fun

Jason, looking at Roy: aren't we all at least a bit homo

Interviewer: ah yes because we are all homo sapiens, I get what you did there

Jason, confused: no I meant when I look at dudes I have gay thoughts

#jason: I have gay thoughts #the gay thoughts: *hold his hand* *snuggle* *run your hand through his hair* *put your arm around him* *hug* *kiss his cheek* #jason: *is an absolute blushing mess* #interviewer: oh god they must be really dirty #Ok look I feel like jason is the type to be a blushing mess when thinking about doing little intimate things with people #Roy would think its hilarious so he would be all flirty in a domestic way like Im going to intertwine our fingers and lay my head on you #until their hands are intertwined and jason kisses their hands and roy becomes a blushing mess cause jason has never instigated it before #like I just want their intimacy to be friends messing with each other but then they both realize they actually like the intimacy so #it just becomes a thing they do and other people around them are confused cause these emotionally constipated buff dudes are able to #unironically be this intimate. the batfamily meets angry jason who was resurrected and then they meet Jason With Roy™ they are blindsighted #cause murderous jason was laying his head on Roy's lap as Roy ran his fingers through Jason's hair (no one else should even attempt this) #as they were talking in front of everyone and using pet names as calling each other partner and everyone is like 'what???' #dick is most suprised though cause he is friends with roy so its a classic case of 'when did my brother and my friend become so intimate??' #he calls the entire rest of the og teen titans over just to make sure his eyes arent deceiving him #like 'no fr donna wally garth you guys gotta get over here and see this' and that was how they started an inpromptu teen titan reunion #jayroy #jason todd #roy harper #incorrect outlaws quotes #rhato #red hood and arsenal

As someone who genuinely loves the terrible relationship between Captain & Keen and also an unrepentant member of the Captain fanclub, not in spite of him being a terrible person, but because he's a terrible person, I feel so absolutely vindicated by the fact that it's confirmed the boy did actually fall in love with Keen and that still changed absolutely nothing about his behaviors. I knew the whole time he was catching real feelings and I knew it was also going to end TERRIBLY because that wasn't going to make him be a good person to Keen, or anyone else, anyway.

I love rank ass bitches staying rank even when they're in love. I love rank ass bitches staying rank to the person they're in love with, especially when that person knew they were a rank ass bitch the whole time. Love doesn't make someone a good person and it's not always a positive force.

#playboyy #playboyy the series #Captain really is the worst and I love him so much for that #but he 100% is in love with Keen and that's not actually a good thing for Keen #but everyone knows Captain is a vile bitch #and Keen still went and fell in love with him #like he really went to the murder mystery costume party and was like #YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS WE'RE DATING #girl you were begging this man to claim you??? and you knew all along he was terrible too??? #Keen is a classic case of don't save her she don't want to be saved #and that always blows up in their faces #I love them #I hope they get back together I hope they make each other worse until they kill each other #CaptainKeen #regular clyde

Miles Edgeworth as the valeyard

Kristoph Gavin as the Master

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #athena cykes #Kristoph gavin #maya fey #what matters is that i think im funny #things to note. er trying to get outfit refs from grainy still images of low buget 80 television shows in very difficult #especially when they're in all black. #i think the valeyard actually wears panta but its unclear and that seems stupid so he has proper robes here #i got half the masters outfit ref from a fucking action figure because the in show images were rough #kristoph gets to be the master over miles because the valeyard needs to be a procecutor and master x doctor is way more toxic than nmts #and i am saying that about like my two otps #krisnix has like a more similar mortal enemies but gay about it dynamic but i think theyre way more toxic #which is funny because Kristoph has done comparatively way less murder #mel was going to be ema or trucy but thinking about it athena fits her way to well. red headed fitness buff that the fans hate #also tracing Phoenix outfit to make it the 6's easy as hell. loved that. putting the pattening on? actual hell #it may be messy at points but im not cleaning it up for something with a venn diagram of interest with only me in the centre #i always get scared to tag stuff as classic who because like theres so much history and i feel like a fake fan. #posting cringe in the AA tags is so unscary to me now. its just my little encosure #6th doctor #classic who #fan art #colin baker #oh in case the joke goes over anyones heads the outfits are from the dw season thats a courtroom drama. its not well liked #also lets not think about the metaphysical consequences of miles being the valeyard. hes just the main prosecutor #and also i wanted to dress my blorbo in the stupidest outfit #this was fun thoigh. maybe ill do this for other dw characters and aa ones just without any pretense or context #just for fun

A young Peter Wyngarde guests as journalist Andrea Bakolas (a fictionalised version of the real Gregorios Staktopoulos) in Overseas Press Club - Exclusive!: The George Polk Case (1.9, ABPC, 1957)

#fave spotting #peter wyngarde #overseas press club exclusive! #jason king #classic tv #1957 #abpc #the george polk case #gregorios staktopoulos #george polk #for more on this strange little series see the tags on a prev alfred burke fave spotting post #i mentioned at that time my doubts that all of these stories were quite as 'torn from the headlines' as the narrator would have us believe #but this one is certainly true: george polk was a real american journalist and he was really murdered in Greece during the civil war there #that part is certainly delivered fairly accurately; it is‚ however‚ kind of background to this old tv dramatisation of events #which is more concerned with capturing the guilty party (SPOILERS ig for a near 70yr old show nobody will watch lol): it's Peter of course #but that's where we hit a weird snag; bc his character here is again very much (for once) based on a real person‚ Gregorios Staktopoulos #but Gregorios' confession was almost certainly obtained via torture‚ not the play of wits shown here; his conviction was also‚ to say the #least‚ unsafe. evidence brought in that trial has been shown to be false‚ and it's actually debated now that Polk was not killed by the #Communist forces (whom Gregorios worked with) at all‚ but by right wing elements affiliated with the Greek government... as recently as #2004 his widow was campaigning for a posthumous retrial to clear his name. so yes an unfortunate footnote in old tv: when you #actually DO try to tell a true story‚ just be aware that the facts you're taking as true may not always be what they appear #the real Gregorios was indeed sentenced to life in prison as in this ep‚ but some relief there in that his sentence was reduced and #(perhaps in recognition of the shady legalities surrounding his conviction) he was released in 1960 and returned to work as a journalist #the George Polk Awards for american journalism are still given today which is nice #imdb list this ep as The George Polk Story but the onscreen title is definitely Case

who's calling death the wolf toxic? is it the x reader community i bet it's the x reader community

it’s them for sure but also people in the ao3 tag are writing death/puss fics where he’s acting like a stalker or a toxic boyfriend and i’m just standing here like 🧍‍♂️

to me he is so vanilla aside from all the murders like i just know that he takes up crocheting as a hobby when he is not out reaping souls

which isn’t to say i don’t like the stalker/toxic bf dynamic bc i read them anyway and enjoy them (put the orange cat in situations, heh) i just don’t think they’re as true to his character LOL

#broke: death the wolf is a toxic stalker #bespoke: death the wolf is just some fucking guy when he’s not on grim reaper time. he and puss are just Acquaintances™️ #he probably reads classic lit too #puss naturally asks what he is reading to make conversation and immediately tunes it out after the first 3 words bc he cannot read #orange cat behavior 😔 #actually no . death reads murder mysteries of all things #he thinks they’re absolutely terrible and he can always see right through the plot but they at least help him kill time (pun intended) #ne way random headcanon dump i guess. we need more antagonists who are just some fucking guy tho #ask #reply #corinthussy #mutual #unrelated but the x reader tag is just full of little red riding hood!reader fics which is just so uninspired lmao #like yes from that perspective he would be very toxic but be original pls #if i were a reader imagine author i’d do a hades and persephone type au but that’s just me at least it’d be actually spicy

drawing more furry fnaf art. yknow just to keep you posted. i love posting in the tags sorry these ones got away from me

#sammy is a brown bear (like freddy). his mom is white like funtime freddy #then crying child is blue (like bon bon. and to go with lizzies bonnet pink) (theyre not twins in my au but they definitely act like it. so #its like cute.) mrs. afton is blue violet (rockstar bonnie) bc i was running out of colors. i had already assigned her blue anyway. #max is black bc i seriously ran out of rabbit colors. or! no wait shadow bonnie. thats totally the inspo and not i had made his ears black #already. i think thats literally every rabbit color available. the afton family is pretty big. ig vanny. who would go with vanessa. obvi bu #shes not in my au. or at least not an afton. and therefore not a rabbit. if she was though shed be white. #and if you havent seen any previously drawn ones henry and william are yellow (obviously. they already have fursonas. theyre the reason #everyone else gets one. LOL) micheals purple like classic bonnie (who... is purple even if it was then retconned. hes purple. look at #withered bonnie. i hate ppl who say its just lighting. thats a lie by big blue bonnie. he was literally purple and then he changed his mind #like i said lizzie is pink like bonnet. and then charlie is black like lefty. because duhh. #DONT ask me about how this shit works okay. the rabbit dated the rabbit and the bear dated the bear. bc thats what happened. theres not #here. the bears got divorced. and the rabbits. the yellow rabbit and bear are fucking #no um. i like willry but i think if they were really fucking. i just think things would go differently. henry's gay in my au i dont think i #he actually had a man to fuck he'd manage to have children. its not who he is to me. will is bi but he obv thinks henry is some exception t #him being perfectly normal and straight. everyone wants to fuck their business partner. otherwise youd do it yourself #ig they can fuck after. i hate when people do these boring aus where henry and william never get married and william isnt a murderer and so #like what? theres nothing? just a couple of guys? if im looking for fics where theyre fucking im not looking for a fic where everything is #nice and clean. be serious. can we at least have some angst about it being the 70s or are you too much of a bitch for that too #anyway..... #simons spouting #simons fnaf au #OH also if anyone reads this whats the stance on this stupid idea i have where sammy pretends he has a thing for michael to annoy max. bc. #their parents had a thing for eachother. and sammy and max have a more familial relationship. and michael and charlie have a familial #relationship. but michael and sammy have barely met and do not at all. is it pushing it? i was thinking yknow from sammys perspective that' #'his sons' dad but! like you can fuck your sons dad. that's not weird. unless thats the way youre phrasing it i guess LOL. but i guess #michael would be like. thats 'my sisters' brother. and that is not someone you fuck*. BUT this isnt michaels perspective its sammy being #annoying. and from sammys perspective that is NOT his sister and there for NOT his sisters brother. *also im pretty sure this is subjective #if youre just friends. yknow. the ethics of sammy using this to bother max is not on the table because i think he deserves to be a #a bit of an ass. anyway LMAOO fkdglfg. let me know if youd like ive got anon asks on. please dont judge me for not knowing this.

actually it turns out the 10th circle of hell is being part of a small fandom with very little source material to work with

#for clarification this post is exclusively about like minds #i'm standing around here with nothing but crumbs like it's hansel and gretel okay i need more #i'm outside gregory read's door with rope and a tape recorder. i have questions and he has answers #first of all WHAT is going on between nigel and his father. why the animosity. why such hatred. what is the backstory #what were the family troubles that caused them to move in the first place #also i need him to look my in the eyes and say yes nigel WOULD in fact know how to play some type of classical string instrument #anyway ... #like minds #murderous intent

Classic Who explores ideas, New Who explores morals

classic who is like 'i see this trend, lets explore what might happen if that trend continues and let the audience figure out what it's talking about and come to their own conclusions.'

new who is like 'this trend is BAD and i'm going to PREACH A SPEECH about why it's going to RUIN EVERYTHING' and it's so much more exhausting

#wren rambles #doctor who #this brought on by me watching orphan 55 #which had SUCH a fun concept #and then absolutely FACEPLANTED with the doctor moralizing at the end #like yes doctor who has ALWAYS explored topical and political issues #but never is there a definitive I Am Telling You This Is Right message #whereas now I just had to sit here and watch 13 preaching at me? #ughghg #explore the idea but don't shove it down my throat #classic who had an episode (Ice Warriors) exploring climate change as one aspect of the story #talking about how all the plants were removed and that messed with the atmosphere etc. #but that was just a SMALL PART of the whole episode and it was never outright condemned (it was made clear it was BAD and the root problems #but that was never the BIG ISSUE the Doctor Lectured His Companions about) (not that victoria or jamie could do anything lol) #plus this feeds into my issues with 13's run (which started during 12's somewhat but less so) #where the Doctor is painted as the Narratively Right one #where when she says something that's what the narrative wants you to BELIEVE #which coming from Two and Three's run is WILD #because Two is chaotic and murderous when he thinks he's right #and he's manipulative and deceptive at times #and Three is selfish and pouty and rude #and don't get me wrong Thirteen has her issues and I lvoe them #HOWEVER. she's pretty much always RIGHT she's the Word Of God when it comes to moral things #and this more than anything is my biggest issues with Modern Who #mostly 12 and 13's eras #so i hope we move out of that somewhat in the new era but i'm not super holding up hopes (especially after star beast) #maybe one day i'll write a proper full article about it but GOSH #i don't watch this show to be preached at. I watch it for a fun/tragic scifi romp and also to see interesting ideas explored #and reflect the climate of the world and how society influences media #explore the idea of climate change turning the world into a post apocalypse! that's such a fun idea and topical!

#hello hi sorry ive been inactive im 50% hyperfixated on classic lit 25% dragon age 25% bg3 and i also have uni and cosplay things to do #anyway right now im brainworming about the end of da2 in my worldstate #specifically since my canon says that Orion (warden) was DEFINITELY there and Varric just omitted it #i mean Zevran was there #you think Einar(Hawke)'s ex and Anders/justice's og radicalizer wouldn't be? lmaoo #the brainworms come in the fact that somehow cullen survives that encounter #i mean. inq isnt canon in my eyes so i could just say he dies #but also the thought of Orion leaving him alive purely for torment purposes a SECOND TIME #the whole 'you're the only one alive and an extremist freak- noone will believe you' thing #it just tickles me #oh orion why must your morally gray moments live only in situations i invented... #that and also whatever happens when he comes back from visiting his clan to find that justice and anders were driven out an hunted down #post awakening #(hint. it's warden treason <3 and murder) #river rambles

Apparently tumblr hates my concert photos and keeps eating my posts with my tag essays so HERE U GET MY CONCERTPOSTING TAGS SEPARATE and I'll try the photos again after BC if I type this one more time on my phone to lose it I'll scream

#franposting #ANYWAY. 3rd times the charm. lets see how much of my stream of consciousness i can remember #made eye contact with JD and shared a smile and that is the closest i will ever come to expressing my gratitude #for his work has saved my life and my soul over and over and over again #a boon and a comfort. and knowing that someone else has gone before? had felt it? understood it? and learned to live again #i want to live again. #absolutely broke my voice on this year #smthn about a room full of ppl screaming there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year #??? nothing will ever replicate that. nothing will fill my soul the same way ever again #they played a good mix of new stuff and old classic concert bangers #ans ALSO stuff not usually in concert rotation (it froze me) #AND some stuff that i rlly just love. like hebrews 1140 my beloved.and some new force galesburg #ugh. just. so good. i was worried about being a weirdo loner #but the atmosphere was generally chill. more than half the ppl looked like gays at brunch chronically on tumblr ppl #so at least i wasnt worried about being The Most Awkward or getting murdered #also the opener was a nb southerner ans i dont do country usually #but there were. some bops #and they were hilarious in conversation #and just! smthn about loving your culture even if it doesnt love you #and you can reclaim it and enjoy it and the bigots dont get a monopoly on it #it meant a lot even tho im not from Tennessee obvs. #also the religious dynamic. the judas references. the line about glimpsing god thru the curtain. the fervour hunger metaphor #ugh. soooo good. thank u adeem the artist #anyway. i will find a setlist tmrw #i am too fuckin tired rn. got home at nearly 1am. thank GOD i took tmrw off work #tmg

queer rep in children's cartoons is obviously important. how much of a joyless bastard do you have to be to complain about that?

in a society that actively demonizes/hides their existence, it is obviously important for children to learn that all kinds of queer people exist.

Christ, we have homos in cartoons for 7 years & you weirdos are already sick of it!

I would've liked to see a trans woman on TV as a child. It would've made everything easier.

Today. Currently. That still does not exist.

But, PLEASE, continue kvetching. Prick.

love that you said all this and then still needed to get out more with this one

anyway. i feel like all of that is based on your incorrect interpretation of something i offhandedly said in the tags of a joke post but now i feel a need to disagree with you because you sent me this annoying ass message. i actually am sick of queer rep in fucking cartoons and the reason for that is because i don’t watch cartoons due to being an adult and i would like that queer rep to be mine instead of 5-7 year olds that do not even know what homophobia is and have no concept of the need for representation. yes i’m a selfish and narcissistic cunt peace and love

#i actually like your approach to anon hate much more than the classic uninspired h/arry st/yles fan suicide bait (we’ve all seen it) #but i do think you should work on your reading comprehension because frankly all i said was that i was in a college class with two dozen #other young adults and we were discussing queer rep in media and people brought up the unjust cancellations of cartoons instead of like. #the fact that most representations of trans women are sex workers that get murdered on law and order. #and how that might contribute to the general population’s understanding of the community. #anyway. it’s been real. hope you get that trans character on bluey

Donald Sutherland steals the show as a disarmingly charming bank robber (turned convict, turned escaped convict), as John Wood in The Saint: Escape Route (5.14, ITC, 1966)

#fave spotting #donald sutherland #the saint #escape route #1966 #classic tv #itc #followers of my faves spotted will know‚ as I've rambled about it in tags before‚ that prior to becoming a big screen legend Don spent #a couple of years in the uk as part of the rentayank crowd‚ making a couple of horror films and filling guest spots on genre tv #he'd already done a Saint (3.23 The Happy Suicide) which can be found if you follow my tag #mostly his uk tv roles were of one kind: creepy villains (or occasionally as in his prior Saint ep‚ a creepy red herring) #so this was honestly a delightful surprise; finally someone GOT Donald Sutherland‚ and he gets to play the kind of part #he'd be doing in cinemas in the following decade. he's fun! he's kooky! he's a bank robber‚ sure‚ but he's also just hugely #endearing. and that isn't just me‚ you feel like the script likes him too. damn it you feel like Simon himself wants him to get away by the #end (he bids him good luck with what seems like real sincerity) #hard to express just how adorable this hardened criminal is. in his first appearance he starts a fistfight in prison with Simon and as soon #as Simon gets carted off to solitary he's immediately like 'aww it wasn't his fault‚ i was the one being a dick' #he calls everyone baby‚ including the Saint‚ including numerous middle aged men #i mean SPOILER for the episode incoming but the escape route is so successful and nobody is ever found bc the bad guys are #murdering their clients (i guessed as much and was truly sad when Don got on the boat to get out of the country) which leads to an amazing #scene where Don's like 'Hey baby‚ where's the second boat to pick me up?' and when the gruff villain pulls a gun out he just says #'....baby?' as his final words. amazing. 10 out of 10 no notes performance
