Goodnight Dad I love you

#lego monkie kid #lmk fanart #lmk mk #lmk pigsy #myart #The general idea behind this: #you don't know where you came from or why you even exist #you don't know what far-off place life will take you next. #But you call him Dad and he calls you son. You chose each other and he'll choose you again and again no matter what you are. #You can only hope you'll be able to stay and cling for much longer than you think you'll actually be able to. Dad. keep me here. #Spotify

lloyd 'survived on one meal per day for years' frontera would absolutely see sharing food as a love language and javier 'lived in the streets for months as a child' asrahan would be fluent in it

i do believe there is a point in their lives where they both heal from the trauma of going through severe food insecurity but neither of them ever quite really forget just how important food can be. and when the other shares their food with them, they appreciate it as the show of affection it was meant to be

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #javier asrahan #i've talked before about food as a love language in tged which mostly affects the relationship between marbella and lloyd #but i do think it would bleed over to other aspects in lloyd's life #and there's a scene in the hell arc where javier figures out something is wrong because lloyd complains about the food #something javier notes he never does. no matter the quality of the food how plain or unpleasant it is lloyd never complains about it #and he explicitly calls it out as the way someone that had been starving for years and knew the preciousness of food would act #which if you then take into account that this is been said by a person that survived on his own as a five year old child in the streets #in the middle of winter... well. it sounds less like speculation and more like someone speaking from experience. #anyway. all this to say lloyd would peel an orange and then give half of it to javier and javier would absolutely swoon #and when they're on the road and they sit down to eat javier will always give the fuller plate to lloyd #and lloyd will have to swallow the knot in his throat before he can start eating #llojavi #yeah fine i'll tag it

I'm interrupting your regularly scheduled programming to let you know that I can't stop thinking about how they covered up Donny Hathaway's death by officially calling it suicide. He didn't jump, he was incapacitated and pushed, and it was all because his music and skill in composition was unmatched and white music producers wanted his music, hence his last words.

No one has ever come close to this man's vocal range which is in its own category; Deep Soul.

He was considered the most prolific Deep Soul artist of his time having major influences on modern music. You can't think of soul music without thinking of this man. He was a brilliant musician and created the most beautiful love song ever recorded.

#y'all probably think I'm a boomer with these music takes #lmfao but I'm very much not #I was just raised right #I also want you to not ever go through life without hearing this man's voice #it would be a great disservice no matter who you are or where you're from #add a couple tracks to your playlist #you're welcome #happy bhm

fuck. kristen this season is coming for my fucking throat.

#her like 'do you ever think about abandoning it and doing something else entirely' #the concept of devotion and adhd not aligning. #kristen being unable to take the right steps no matter what she does. #no idea where your life is going. throw yourself into every next interest with so much passion but for such a short timte #never commit to anything because it's hard and boring and annoying #it's like. fuck. completely scalping me. #fhjy #d20 #dimension 20 #fantasy high

nona the ninth has helped me to romanticize the impermanent which is equally healing and horrific

#its really fascinating because ive had such a vast history with losing people + moving around ive become quite desensitized #like what really was the point of me making friends in university if i leave in 3 years #and then it hit me like damn... thats life isnt it. no matter how long or short these interactions will stick with you forever #even less than a minute in a body where your souls meld you have affected each other forever. so short but the effects are until death #you can fear someone departing from you but you can never take the love away and trying to avoid it to relieve yourself of the pain- #-you might as well not live. theres no connection that is guaranteed permanent and forever. you just have to hold that moment in your heart #forever and ever. and understand that you carry interactions with you like a quilt and the goal is to become a massive fucking heirloom #chat #nona the ninth

Everyone who speaks to or does stuff with Pierre always immediately talks about how open and willing to participate fully he is in whatever they're doing. I just think the fact that he walks into all of these situations with a true joy and appreciation for all the opportunities f1 brings him to enrich his own life is so lovely and refreshing he's so important to me actually

#boy like curiosity!! #people will call me insane for saying pierre is humble #but the way that no matter who you are. from a GOAT like michael jordan to some random ass GOLF reporter for CBS sports #if you are passionate about what you do Pierre has ZERO qualms about seeking out opportunities to learn from people #he LOVES the way others love what they do and he's invested in making those connections even in the smallest ways to make his life fuller #obv there are *many* place where he has room for improvement #but at a base level he understands that the life he lives affords him the privilege of access very few people have across so many interests #and he never ever takes that for granted #BOY LIKE CURIOSITY!! #yes i recognize this is over a netflix golf pr fluff piece. no idc #portraits of pierre #pierre

ok yeah, I'm willing to put Young Royals up as one of, if not the best teen drama ever written

and not just writing! cinematography, costumes, music, performances! this show truly is a masterpiece

#young royals #Riverdale wishes it had the thematic consistency #this is the show euphoria thinks it is but its actually competently executed #teenagers who get away with nothing every action has a consequence #its about making mistakes and fucking up and forgiveness where its earned and moving on even if you cant forgive #its about love mattering even when it ends nothing is a waste it matters that the love was there even if its not with you forever #its about the first loves of yout life and that those loves wont always be Romantic and theyll be just as if not more important #its about loving yourself enough to push back against the system that is trying to break you because you dont deserve to be treated that way #its ALSO about wild parties and doing shots with your teachers and celebrating when the end comes cause you might as fucking well #its about first loves second chances three cheers for the end of bad things the coming of the future #because some things can and should end and the pain of it will pass and the love you felt wasnt wasted and you can take the good parts with #but that car is leaving down that forest road and you cant stay here you gotta go so who are going with and how loud can you sing with them #look right down the lens smile at the camera baby you might as well #netflix drama #wille x simon #crown prince wilhelm #simon eriksson #sara eriksson #felice ehrencrona #august of årnäs

K I've been thinking about this for like a week now. Ignoring any immortal headcanons if you have them. Knuckles knows he's not going to be able to guard the Master Emerald forever and that probably troubles him, but, if he was dying do you think he'd ask Sonic to guard it? He's the person with a unique connection to Chaos and the Chaos Emeralds and he's basically chosen one the most specialest guy, and one of the few people Knuckles could trust with that duty.

Of course I think Sonic would say no. I think he'd never be able to do that and he wouldn't want to.

#lmao i think even if Knuckles was on his fucking deathbed Sonic would say no #like sure he's got a sense of duty but guarding the me would be absolute hell for him #and he's never really acknowledged if he even gets just how important Knuckles' job is #sure he gets some of it but he doesn't really care that much beyond knuckles cares deeply for SOME reason #and im not saying that as something negative i actually think good for him you know #bad for knux cause he'd be fucking tormented by that #it also makes me think about the conflict people like to write between them in forces fanfics #where knuckles didn't take care of tails enough and sonic gets pissed at him i think this is a great parallel #like i know a kid and a big magic rock aren't objectively the same thing but if you think about how it much it matters to knuckles #especially that it matters to him more than that too because it's literally his entire life #not giving the ME and knuckles' duty the acknowledgement it deserves is like saying he's wasted his life for nothing #ouough okay #sorry im in such knuckles angst mood rn pl if you have thoughts respond idk if im imagining all of this correctly gnjhgcsddgu #gimme some fuckin drama

[carefulfears]

I just love how carefree mulder and scully are in david’s episodes, it’s a side of them we so rarely got to see… 😔😔😔

yeah, me too. david writes journeys for mulder, with clear morals and arcs. the unnatural is about valuing “life on this planet,” finding space for joy and connection in the midst of blinding pursuit. amor fati is about commitment to your purpose, realigning to who you are at the core, who you were as a child. the promises that you made to yourself then. hollywood a.d. is about legacy, what we leave behind: does it matter if it’s warped, or if it’s nothing, so long as we loved and were loved well?

david’s episodes are classic hero’s journeys, active lessons for mulder as a character. but these are all things that scully already knows, so she gets to be passive and lighthearted and wise. they aren’t having anything beaten into them; they’re growing through storytelling, through play, through identification. they’re growing through watching a movie at 3am and rambling to each other. they’re growing through eating gross fake ice cream and reading old newspapers on a saturday morning. they’re growing through swinging a baseball bat, hips before hands, all night under the stars.

#this is why i love his dancing zombies at the end of ‘hollywood a.d.’ so SO much #mulder sitting out on the grass spiralling about how the dead are thought of and spoken about and the things that impact legacy and memory #things that are so deeply important to a man who spends his life chasing ghosts. who lost 2 family members that year #and scully is just next to him giggling and holding his arm like…they’re dead mulder! they don’t care! #eyes lit up waving that bureau credit card at him #and the way he’s just like….sigh. okay. #and gives it up and takes her arm so they can go out #when the music starts playing and you can still see mulder and scully holding hands in the background #and the zombies all get up and dance <33 #one of my favorite moments of the show. they’re happy. and that’s something. #and that’s what i love about david’s eps because who gives a fuck where the zombies came from! #who gives a fuck if the baseball player was really an alien! who gives a fuck who the boy on the beach was! #it doesn’t matter. it’s so metaphorical and just there for the lesson. and the lesson is always loving and beneficial for the characters #asks

[merakiui]

me after i take 17 benadryl and start seeing the hat man.

the hat man in question:

#meraki mumbles #hat guy..... it's really cute and silly!!!! #but also... hat guy is the least moanable name ever T_T #one-night stand with wanderer and you're asking him for his name because you want to know #and he spends a long minute where he's debating which name would sound the best coming from your lips #weighing the moanability of 'the wanderer' versus 'hat guy' on his internal scale as if this is a life or death matter #in the end he takes the easy way out and tells you to call him whatever you'd like hehe #(also i think with all of my heart that when he cums the marks on his body light up like when you use his skill to fly >:D)

See, the thing about the Amy episode that makes Dean’s actions so reprehensible is not only the part where he doesn’t trust Sam and goes behind his back to kill Amy or even the hypocrisy of Dean ‘you can’t change what you are so you’re going to kill someone eventually’ Winchester sparing the kid right after stabbing his mom, it’s that Amy is very explicitly supposed to be a Sam parallel. There is no other way about it, from the they’re both freaks part of it to Dean dropping the line about ‘the other shoe’ right before he kills her, she is Sam, how Dean reacts to her is supposed to give us insight into how he feels about Sam. And Dean. kills her.

The not very subtle subtext being that Dean is ready to off Sam if he goes too far off the deep end? He’s aggressive and mistrustful of Sam at every turn in the episode, lays the feet of it all at Sam’s hallucinations maybe leading him astray, but end of the day, Sam’s crimes here are A) was tortured in Hell and B) is traumatized by that in a way that makes Dean’s life more difficult.

And it is hard to watch. To spend this whole episode with Sam being completely functional on his own, making a rational decision based on past experience and on all the information about Amy he has available, and for the episode to end with, ‘but yeah, if dean thinks sam goes too far, he’s probably gonna kill him. because sam can’t change or be fixed, so it’s for the good of everyone that he be put down.’

#and then of course there’s the issue of the subtext setting something up that gets no resolution like. there is no point where dean is ever #really going to be able to kill Sam. no matter how bad his hallucinations get. not even a mercy kill crosses his mind later that season #which means that the Amy episode gets rewritten later from ‘explicit Sam parallel’ to ‘well we can use this for Brother Drama™️’ #god. god. and really what gets me about the Amy episode in general. like Thee Horrifying Part to me. #most of their hunts are very life or death. that’s how we get around the morality of it. either they kill the monster or it kills them. #Amy’s. not that. Dean tracks her down while she’s running and kills her while she’s asking him not to. #like if she had attacked him the scene would be totally different. but she doesn’t. she doesn’t even fight back. and he kills her. #like she has a kid and Dean is an unfriendly hunter in her motel room. it wouldn’t be out of the question for her to try to kill him #to protect herself and her kid. but she doesn’t. she doesn’t. I don’t know what you can take away from that except that she was telling #sam the truth about not wanting to be a murderer. if she won’t even try to kill Dean to protect herself. #there is no way to look at this episode that makes Dean come out looking good unless you’re willing to claim everything Amy said was a lie #AND that Dean would be right to kill Sam for *checks notes* Being Visibly Mentally Ill #fucked up. why’d they do this. #spn #dean winchester #sam winchester #amy pond #like to be clear if you’ve got a different view on this that’s. not the above thing I just said. please tell me. #because from where I’m standing Dean doesn’t come out of this clean in any way

how to bring up to your dungeon master that your character might be better if she got railed

#when you're also the person in the group who's usually least interested in doing a sex scene #listen i'm not saying sex will fix everything #but my formerly-oath-of-devotion paladin who has lived in a constant miasma of anxiety and is a highly pressurized bottle of emotions #is finally letting herself make (frankly bad) choices and letting her rage out and went oathbreaker and is trying to enter her bad bitch er #this is the ariadne who fucks and she should get to fuck one time 😂 #i keep thinking about this guy back in the city where her order's main temple is #who took over the thieves' guild because the temple wasn't helping the city and he was taking matters into his own hands #and god he's been stuck in her craw because like #you're saying the thing i've devoted my life to is shit #and i'm not sure you're wrong but i can't say that #and i hate that #and i hate you #and you're doing more for the city than my entire order is #and i hate that too and i hate you so much and why do i want to make out with you a little bit #god if we run into him again later in the game now that ariadne's not quite as tied up in her order shit might get weird #also: my notes from the session where we met him read “idk who this dude is but i'm gonna fuckin kill him”

Trans people, please don't rely on other people to tell you if your experiences or identity is valid.

It is a very human thing to seek understanding and validation (humans are social creatures and whatnot), but seeking people to tell you that who you are is valid places a ton of power in others. What happens when somebody tells you that they don't think you're valid?

And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if your identity is "valid" or not to other people. What matters is if your identity suits you. You aren't a robot who lives at the behest of others, who can change the core of your being at the drop of a hat. You will continue to exist as you are with or without validation and with or without permission.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #when i was young i sought being told i'm valid because my environment told me i wasn't... #...but then i felt distress when i was told i wasn't valid because that's what i've been told all my life... #...nobody should have the power to take away your identity or anything like that... #...and i gave people the power to do that. i put way too much trust in strangers and they decided if they wanted me to hurt or not... #...this is why i personally dislike the posts saying '[x] is valid!'... #...it indirectly implies there is a point where you can slide into being 'invalid' and it does the same thing i used to do... #...i think more people ought to embrace that it doesn't matter what OTHERS think of who you ARE. that's shit you can't change... #...i can't convince people i am valid if they think i am not. i'm not wasting my time and energy and safety in order to fight people... #...if you think my identity is 'invalid' or 'valid' is of no consequence to me. you don't hold the power to make me change... #...i will continue to exist as i am and so will you... #...learn to embrace the idea that nobody can or should hold power over you to tell you if you're right in your identity or not #this is a really oversimplification but i'm trying to type this out as fast as i can before going to work again lol #this is NOT meant to disparage or shame people who want validation. it's more a warning or reminder #there is NO shame in wanting validation. that is a VERY human thing to need. you are NOT a bad person for wanting validation #i just want to caution people to remember that giving undue power to other people to validate who you ARE can have consequences #but it isn't your fault if you sought validation and were hurt instead. that isn't your fault. you don't deserve to be hurt

[craycraybluejay]

Ngl if anyone tried to make a whole legal stink about anyone I fucked when I was younger, I'd probably try to sue them for emotional damages or something. Cause like... that's my business. Why dafuq you involving me in this shit I don't want anything to do with even as a kid I was too busy for this shit.

In fact I wish I remembered the names of cops who fucked w me for no reason bc someone stuck their nose in my business so I could take them to court over misuse of force and whatnot. Like I was a traumatized kid why tf r u as an adult with a gun using this much force on me hello? I just. Wish I could fuck over everyone who fucked me over + everyone who was used to fuck me over. The legal way. But the legal option is only ever viable for people who ALREADY have power and money and shit.

I just genuinely despise people who stick their nose in my business and try to "fix things" or "save me" from stuff I don't need saving from which is usually also stuff that I'm actually saving myself with. (See: possession of a deadly weapon. Bitch called the pigs on me bc i said i was scared n just holding onto something so if someone tried something I had any shot at fighting back. It wasn't even a gun. Get your ass out of my business the fuck? I was A KID. A SCARED KID. There is actually 0 reason at all to do this. What the fuck else am I supposed to do just let myself get beat up or killed cuz I'm too small to fight back? No way. Leave your corrupt little system out, I want to live ty.)

Or like. Playing hero when no one fucking asked for a hero. And somehow, it's never when you ACTUALLY want or need someone to save or help you. Always when you have things handled or even when it's a complete non-issue. Like "oh you had sex w someone older that's iLLeGaL." Ok??? Leave me tf alone tho??

Idk the systems that were supposedly there to protect me only served to harm or at the very least wildly inconvenience me and the people who were most self-proclaimedly "helpful" were usually the most happy to ruin my life for their stupid white knight shit. If you want to play hero and expose someone to something you don't even know anything ab cuz u never went thru it... stop. Stop playing hero. Stop thinking u can save everyone with ur by-the-book mini-cop shit. No one likes you. Even normal people think you're a whiny lil snitch with nothing better to do than stick your nose in someone's business.

#i literally hate people who want to play hero to random strangers without knowing anything ab the situation #i hate them so so much #rant #delete later #literally how much less traumatized i'd be if the wrong people stopped trying to play hero #if you've EVER been a snitch/hero and called the cops or something on someone who wasn't a threat to you because you 'wanted to help' #genuinely stay so far the fuck away from me #u EVER do that shit to someone I am straight up cutting you off idec if we're besties #stop pretending u know shit about fuck and don't involve urself in other people's shit unless they ask you to #it's that simple #some of y'all seem WAY too comfortable with the idea of turning someone's life upside down for ur stupid moral-legal-bullshit #the only time u should be involving the law is if someone has killed harmed or sa'd someone u know #and u know they wanna pursue this mf and get their ass #ik y'alls idea of justice matters more than victims to u but listen #not everyone who's gone thru something fucked up wants you to force them in a position where they have to relive it over n over to stranger #not everyone who gone thru that wants to be examined like evidence not everyone wants to sacrifice their time and mental health for justice #idk i wish people gave half a fuck about what actual specific victims of diff things want and think rather than just acting like its their #own problem and dealing w it how theyd deal w it. its not ur problem. take the fucking backseat and stfu

even though it's hard and it hurts i love growing and realizing that i've evolved a lot since last year

like last year binging mac millers music was smth i did while at my lowest and/or relapsing and now it's a comfort thing and makes me happy. it's funny because i figured this out in my trig class today

being a human hurts sometimes, but realizing that you've grown and evolved is truly beautiful

i hope mac knows how much of an impact he made on me and my life and that he's resting good🩷

#black people #urfavnegronerd #rae talks #mac miller #i love life thank you #no matter where life takes me find me with a smile #music #hence why i love music #my music #hip hop #mental health #growth #human #trendingnow
