Wardrobe Appreciation

↳ Esteban Flores (Elena of Avalor)

#elena of avalor #esteban flores #chancellor esteban #this gifset is entirely about his little sailing/archeology/adventure outfit #that's why it has pride of place in the middle #realistically i know that he is really not THAT much more underdressed than in any of his other outfits #but to me; he is still in a delightfully shameful state of deshabille comparatively: #his neck exposed because he has *gasp* no cravat and has unbuttoned his shirt two whole buttons #the yellow sash belt that clearly has no other purpose except to remind us that his waist is snatched #no longcoat to partially cover his hips and the back of his legs? the brazen audacity. I need some pearls to clutch #moment of silence for all of the cute little potential esteban fits we never got to see on the show #at the very least; we were owed a nice little Navidad look in the snowbound ep #maybe a nice green jacket and/or one with little embroidered poinsetta accents to match elena's dress? #a carnaval fit would've been gr8 too; even gabe of all people got one (tho esteban still has more outfits than him overall so it even outs) #i would say that esteban should have a dias de los muertos outfit too (maybe matching francisco's) #but that would require the writers actually putting him in said episodes to begin with #i mean; i get it #it's not like he has any lost loved ones that he might hypothetically want to remember on day of the dead--OH WAIT!!! #i mean word of god is that he's visiting his parents' altars off-screen; but it would've been nice if we could've seen this once #even if he's just shown briefly in the background #also i *hate* that the shuriki era uniform looks so good on him #i mean she's still a monster and was definitely a hell of a boss to him #but dang; the woman has quite the sartorial eye #and you'll never not convince me that her chancellor looking excellent in black #isn't the entire reason the palace guards wear black too #she knows how to coordinate a retinue #esteban flores: assigned goth at conquest #poor thing #lucky (or is it unlucky?) he carries it off so well

#iasip #mac macdonald #s3e11 dennis looks like a registered sex offender #just rewatched this episode. god it's so good definitely in my top 10 overall in the show #the dinner scene my forever beloved i hold you close to my heart. it's so insanely satisfying from a writing perspective. #the way it all ties together and even though it's a scene about a dinner being fucking ruined and its got these #relatively high emotional stakes its so so. neatly written that it ends up feeling cathartic? in a way #idk what im saying man that scene's just really good #something about mac and charlie's scheme and motivations clashing with their parents' (and franks) #and them being kind of forced to reckon with the fact that their parents are real people with their owns wants and needs #(especially mac charlie ends up using this to his advantage and kind of betraying mac ig) #also a scene that emotional ending with a shot of charlie going Ohh and the seed has been planted is wild. #also mac being so worried about the fact that the vibe might be off... DO YOU WANT FLAT AMBIANCE??? #he just wants things to be normal!! he just wants a normal nice dinner party and normal parents who are together and happy and love eo!! #also there's a motif that shows up repeatedly of him wanting to seem like a good dinner host lol just kind of noticed that idk #maybe reading into this too much but god the theme of him so often being in denial of reality in order to #live up to certain societal standards and achieve normalness. #this is kind of the first (and imo one of the best) episodes with a plot line about mac's relationships with his parents #and their family dynamic in general which i find so so fascinating. #also i think this is the only time (except for the christmas video) where we see mac's parents together. #on a lighter note ig the dinner scene has so many other great quotes... charlies so funny in it #the man doesnt blink mom the man doesnt blink!! #the charmac in this episode was so excellent in general. the car scene where they freak out and become convinced luthers going to kill them. #YOU DONT DO THAT! YOU DONT EAT SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE HEROIN IN THEIR ASS!! #i do rmbr watching this ep with my dad and him going Well that one was just kind of sad. #which.... i mean yeah. real. #thats it im done i think #also i ended up having to type all this in my notes bc tumblr tagging is so painful #what if i said smth and then went Hey i want to say that a bit differently? oh? youre just straight up not gonna let me do that. oh okay. #fuck you

Also I can't believe I'm saying this about a persona 5 spinoff but p5t is actually... Surprisingly good? The character dynamics within the phantom thieves are much more fleshed out (which is something I always took issue with in the original game), the character screentime is a lot more balanced and mostly no flanderisation (aka yusuke gets to Do Things for once, makoto gets to Not Do Everything thank god, morgana is the most likeable he's ever been to me), the new characters are incredibly fun and executed very well especially for spinoff-only characters, the plot concepts are interesting, the sprites are very fun and expressive, like. idk I just didn't expect it to make up for some of my issues with the main game tbh!! a pleasant surprise for sure

#vi rambling #persona #I HAVENT PLAYED just watched a full playthrough but like. it took me by surprise #spoilers here: #ernesto's design is one of the better persona designs in recent games? giving p2 persona design vibes mixed w some p3 which is ALWAYS a win #toshiro and erina are GREAT. having a persona based on a human is like. something they havent done since p1 which im so down for. #in general their characters are great and not what i expected. i was scared of it being regressive but not at all #toshiro gets flamed constantly and the nuances of his faults are very clear and handled well!! #and well i always enjoy a soppy pathetic suited loser who learns to be self confident. #and they did the smart thing of giving all the thieves a spotlight by having each relate to the different episodes in toshiro's life which #is SO smart thank god. futaba got so much time here!! HARU!!! YUSUKE!!! RYUJI!!! #idk i just was scared of the dynamics being watered down and i arguably honestly got a lot more here than in the original game. #also morgana finally feels like his own character and not an mc voice replacement. hes really great in this one idk #anyways yeah im pleasantly surprised. #obviously there are the expected faults of like well. antags being v narrow mostly and the usual persona dialogue issues and stuff #but overall what a nice surprise

warlocks too need their beauty sleep

#back at merlin. I HAVE TO SAY the third season has been the weakest so far. there has been some great episodes #but a lot of the time i feel like the overall story is dragging #nor's rambles #merlin blogging #ALSO one major complaint i have is that arthur is such an asshole #like he is nice to merlin once in like five episodes #i hope there will be some satisfying moment where merlin gets back at him

The Modifyers: Numb Nostalgia

((So long story short since a few nights ago I have been plagued by ideas of my own to do something with this scrapped nickelodeon series. I want to give it a story it never had a chance to tell; although if something does end up being made of it canonically some day, you can interpret this as a more mature, horror-oriented AU or something based off of the pilot episode, it's cancellation leading the story & characters to fall into obscurity + the concept of the comic series I Hate Fairyland and Fionna and Cake, which inspired me))

-

Something happened that day.

Well- besides losing your precious communication ring into the villain's lair...

Thankfully Lacey Shadows happened to be the henchwoman of a complete fool who swooned over her.

Of course, Baron Vain disregarded all of Rat's claims about his precious Lacey being in reality a Modifyer plotting against them. His life was forgiven for retrieving his favourite hecnhwoman's ring, likely something that must've meant the world to her! That's probably why it ringed so obnoxiously... probably so each time it happened to fall off of her it would set off an alarm of sorts... to alert her it was missing!

But Rat's claims? They were simply outrageous. Of course he was only jealous he preferred Lacey over him.

And so the wannabe-villainous boss would return the ring to his beloved henchwoman and rant about how annoying his other henchman was. Lacey still remembered the dread that washed over her seeing Baron Vain arising from the secret entrance to his lair, walking towards her, ring in hand. She was already sweating bullets having realized she lost the damn thing again somewhere in the Baron's lair... seeing him holding it felt like someone was pointing a gun at her.

All it would have taken was quite literally the press of a button. It would have taken one movement to answer to Katz's call. She was inches away from having her cover blown.

And yet... As 'fate' would have it, she had her ring returned to her oh-so-kindly by the 'big bad' the entire organization she worked for fought against. The perks of the henchwoman's charm pushing all the right buttons, right?

It was fun in a way... that's what getting yourself into an adventure is all about, no? Getting in trouble, returning stolen mystical artifacts (as much as she wished to use it for herself), being inches away from imminent danger... it was exciting.

But of course, that was then.

This is now.

"Hey, kid? You feeling okay?" An elderly crocodile asked, noticing that the woman in front of him seemed like she waa zoning out instead of scanning the groceries that were piling up in front of her. She snapped out of her daydreaming and looked at her customer.

"Oh- Yes! yes, absolutely! I'm sorry, I must've not slept well last night... hah.." she nervously excused, beginning to scan each item and placing them within a paper bag.

"Oh no, don't worry about it, I get it... same ol' routine each day'll drain ya." The old reptile replied as he dug through his wallet and made sure what he had was the right amount.

"Yeah..." she sighed, looking down at her one belonging resting below her checkout: a blue backpack, which happened to be looking right back at her- literally.

Despite her employee's outfit, those pink locks tied in a messy ponytail- now having taken a much less vibrant color (and a good chunk of them happened to be turning purple at the tips), her face seeming to be much less lively than it once was , those bright blue eyes and pink hair were unmistakeable.

...

Once closing time neared, the woman was lazily finished restocking whatever needed restocking, and once she finished her part, she collected her belongings and left her coworkers to close up the place. She sighed as she walked down the darkened streets of the town until she reached what appeared to be a phone booth... upon entering it, the contraption begun to shake until it launched in the air- revealing to be a rocket pod... which led to a familiar airship.

The woman slammed the doors to the pod open, letting the blue backpack fall to the ground; she listlessly stepped on colorful little squares on the floor, which brightened upon contact and once the pattern was completed the lights of the place turned on.

"Ow..." said Mole as he returned to his original form and got back onto his feet.

"Sorry." She replied in a tired tone as she undid her ponytail and allowed her long hair free.

The two barely exchanged many words as Agent Xero wormed her way out of her employee's attire as she made her way to her bedroom, and into a baggy t-shirt once she was there. She flopped onto the bed on her stomach with a groan, her long hair hiding where her head was almost entirely.

Some rustling from another part of the airship could be heard from her room; soon, Mole would appear- now having taken the form of a tray, carrying a simple bowl of cereal.

"Hey- I've taken the liberty to be a freelance chef..." said he in a sarcastic tone as he tugged at her shirt to gain her attention, "Least you could do is eat..."

Another groan emerged from the woman as she begun to rise from her cozy tomb like a zombie, lazily stretching out a hand- her messy hair covering her face entirely, with only her nose sticking out, accentuated that metaphor.

"Come oooon..." now it was Mole who groaned, rolling his eyes. His annoyance seemed to entertain Xero as she let out a hearty chuckle before using both hands to pull back her long curls. She gingerly picked the bowl off her friend and he immediately turned back into his original form.

"I'm practicing for my future job at a haunted house, whaddya think?" She jokingly inquired.

"Terrific." Mole played along, attempting to crawl his way up the bed; his companion eventually lending him a hand- or better said, a leg- to help push him onto the mattress.

"Seriously though... when'll we go back to being- ya know, Modifyers? Katz isn't exactly pleased that you've been goin' around without a disguise at all..." the little blue shapeshifter fumbled with the covers of the bed.

"Pfft- why bothew?" Replied Xero with a shrug (and a mouthful of cereal), "we hawen't sween Bawon Wain in fowevah! Ow hees miwions!" She exclaimed, gulping down her food.

"Besides, I'm off the clock for now.." she added, eyes half-lidded.

"Uh... Xero," Mole's tone was uncertain- as if he was about to deliver world-shattering news, "you've been 'off the clock' for sixteen years..." he gulped.

#the modifyers #my writing #PLEASE BE NICE TO ME IM TRYING TO GET THE CHARACTERS PERSONALITY JUST RIGHT #of course im gonna give em a little bit of my Own character building #since yknow there isnt a lot to go off of in just one pilot episode of 12 minutes... #but overall i want to try to accurately get their character. for the most part at least djdndns

[whatsanameanyway]

honestly still the biggest personal tragedy of session 5 is that when grian joined gem in the tower building. in gems episode, there were almost a solid 10 minutes of just that. them hanging out, calm, peaceful, no danger, away from people that could hurt them . and guess what ? grian left LESS THAN 3 MINUTES OF THAT IN HIS EPISODE dbjksffejw

#rant in tags #gems episode straight up got me to start drawing the most complicated fanart in a year or so just of that scene #and grian just. cut most of it out #(gem probably did too. but come on g. only 3??) #i think i know what im feeling. i called it in a yt comment on session 2 or so #im clinging to the last remains of peace and happiness we get #i watched every pov and i think this episode grian's is my favourite (even if he cut out most of my fav scene overall) #he almost died' rigged a charity' loved bdubs and built a tower. it was nice #he barely interacted with the reds (love them too but). he was just hanging out. the cleo&etho&grian & i guess bdubs team is my fav #literally not a single spec of danger in that house. all positivity (thanks etho for starting the 'we love bdubs' day too bdw) #even martyns single trap got disarmed immediately #i was hoping for an grian & cleo team because of the potential for chaos but i think i love this more at least for now #ive been thinking too. the heart foundation honestly stresses me out so much #i love them with all my heart. i do #but i dont trust bigb at all. havent since episode one and wont start now. feels like that man has no loyalty to tango and skizz #hes very fun dont get me wrong but he makes me worried. i still have no idea what his deal is #theyre also very open. no fortification ( i like walls theyre safe) #and their system is very easy to rig (as shown in this episode) #(also bigb straight up saw grian throw his quartz in and said NOTHING) #“this is a death game! why do you not want death? what are you even here for?” SHUSH #this is all /positive. its good stress #(and i love death and betrayal martyn's win is my fav ending so far) #i just got too used to the peace and happiness at the beginning #i did not mean to rant this much but i have a lot of feelings about this series i dont have anywhere else to express #trafficblr #secret life

[cowboysmp3]

not to be a downer on the new ofmd season but i’m really feeling that loss of the 2 episodes,, the style and humour of this show really makes it feel like something that should be silly and drawn out for like 20 episodes a season but it doesn’t even get 10 this season?? it’s just a little rough

#i wish the show overall had more budget to do more fun things #i jusr feel like the relationships don’t truly get to develop #with only a few episodes #like near zero jim and archie and olu #like god idk #would have been nice to see more overall #ofmd #ofmd spoilers #ofmd s2

[izloveshorses]

4x06 is nearly perfect for me bc we have 1) the bellamy/clarke/roan dynamic where bellamy is just hating roan's guts but they have to work together to save clarke, and roan third wheeling while they communicate nonverbally and stare at each other and have almost-confessions, and 2) the raven/murphy/luna dynamic, where raven is hating murphy's guts but murphy and luna have to work together to save raven, and then murphy third wheeling asldhkjf

#the 100 #iz watches t100 #4x06 #bellarke #sea mechanic #didn't care about the c plot but everything else is just too good so it's fine alshdkjf #there's also the Rover™ and some really great action scenes #overall just a nicely paced episode objectively #and then i mean. the blarke. is insane. but we already knew that

[jakeperalta]

truly did not expect to cry through so much of sex education s4 I'm

#just watched the final episode and cried multiple times 🥺🥺 #overall i thought it was a nice ending which is more than you get with a lot of shows so i'll take it #i did have somewhat mixed feelings about the season as a whole #like so much of it i really loved but at the same time it felt a bit disjointed? #like i thought adam's arc was great but it was pretty much totally cut off from anything else in the show?? #also i would've preferred if they hadn't moved school there were just too many new characters for me to get invested in them all #i think their screentime could've been better used to focus on the existing characters' storylines #BUT overall it made my heart feel both warmed and a little bit broken which is my favourite type of media so <3 #sex education lb #sex education spoilers

[perenlop]

still awesome

#i feel obligated to post the really good team rocket bits with how much ive turned on them djdjkdkfkfkf #echoed voice #sm lb #its genuinely really good tho i think this is a nice episode for them and a good ep overall #its a solid intro to nanu and acerola that nails their relationship and i like an ep that starts off a long arc #but takes a break from the main characters before doing so. like cutting to TR before doing anything with ash and nanu was clever and fun #also gengar was just really cool in this episode like the way greedy rapooh is animated is so fun #im sorry i like ash’s gengar but like. this was such a breath of fresh air the og colors look so good on gengar and this one is so expressiv #expressive #idk solid ep all around one of the highlights of the season easily its really good

Woke up to someone shouting out the Arkham Gallery zine in a podcast episode, that warmed my heart a lot. Very sweet

#it was a nice episode overall and im gonna check the other zines in the podcast as well #color me surprised

are there actually hnw anime-only fans..................

#the first two movies suck ass i dont think they created much of a lasting impact #haru.miou anime was ok #and hero.taru............... #the animation was nice and fun but tbh now that a year has passed i can see that the overall balance for me was like . barely positive #the goods do kinda outweigh the bads but it was still eh #i can't see myself rewatching the first ~5-6 episodes like ever #but i feel like . the people who actually liked it must have checked out Some of the songs later right ? #the idea of anime only mona fans ? #actually the idea of anime-only lxl fans is already scary #i keep remembering that one qrt cowboy got in one of the 'someone wrote 3k fics for a rarepair' viral tweets #that was something like ''if they actually thought the source material was good then good for them!'' #it was written in a kind tone they were trying to be supportive fr but it was So Funny #i need to see if i have it saved #(it was referring to the anime specifically) #hworks #mar's midnight rambles

Now I know what it feels like to be a manga reader and seeing the anime adaptations of the manga... look at em... they're moving... and they have voices... and there's music... whooaaa...

#aria rants #talking bout mashle and sokushi cheat ga saikyou sugite. im not completing the title of the latter its one of the long ones #my babies... lookit em... even if it isnt a 1-1 to the manga its like aww... theyre moving and speaking with voices #and THERES COLOUR! whooaaa... #am so lazy watching anime but for these two i will watch it anyway. ill tune in weekly for the episodes for em #love mashle for the comedy and honestly sokushi cheat is like pretty average. its your typical-ish isekai story #but the manga grew on me. the characters all have their own unique charms and i love the dannoura family stories #and takatou is pretty interesting too. just overall a fun read for me so seeing its anime is so nice. also i wanna see the sage's downfall #honestly thats the main thing im looking forward to in the story. i wanna see her be faced with the reality that she isnt the strongest now #and its her own fault too cuz she brought these kids there. and by these kids i mean tomochika and takatou. mainly takatou #that sage is so prideful that it became her own undoing. deserved rlly. ya can tell i dont like her. she disregards life tsk

well, I took my new antidepressant for the first time before I went to bed, and I've been asleep all day now. like, I woke up several times - the longest was about an hour - but still, I spent at least 14 hours asleep. don't like that, hopefully that's not gonna be a thing again with this.

also had particularly gruesome nightmares (unfortunately including Leverage/The Librarians characters, not happy about that)

#the nightmares were... really very unpleasant #including one very long very detailed one about Jenkins. it was not nice. it was very scary. and very uncomfortable. #it's the kinda thing my brain wouldn't let me talk about so I couldn't say anything more about it even if I wanted to. but it was bad. #annnd I just woke up because I've got a massive nosebleed. very unpleasant way to wake up. #so overall. not the best day! 🙄🙄 #my psychiatrist said this antidepressant is less strong than the one I got for sleeping before. so it shouldn't make me sleep as much #so I'm hoping it's just because my body isn't used to it. and I mean. I haven't slept more than 4 hours at a time for a while. so maybe it's #just trying to catch up lol #also re the nightmares: there were several parts about being stuck in very tight spaces. and we watched the leverage episode where Hardison #is buried alive today. so at least I know where that part came from #personal
