The elder men spoke low. They took a vote and said no. They turned around real slow. Where did they go? Where did they go? And the question oh, the question: can the kid keep his eyes, if the fire doesn't die? They said no.

They Took a Vote and Said No - Sunset Rubdown

#i do this instead of like. making an animatic lmao. this song is so good. the breakdown!! auughhh #doctor who #dw #thirteenth doctor #the timeless child #fanart #digital art #my art #comic #cause the fire never dies so the kid lost his eyes oh that's how it goes :(#the lyrics on spotify are wrong rip #im embracing cringe and choosing life #you can see how this started very simple and then I started putting Effort in rip #so OTHER things can stay alive you say.. much to think about #never getting over this one boys. I'm still deep in the trenches #weeping angels division agents mouri age of shadows something something tardis great house loom. you're welcome #I think this song is about soldiers going to war to prop up empires or something??? which is also fitting

No listen to me ok listen to me *picks you up and holds you in the air like a misbehaving cat* Jimmy could use the fact that he knows Joel's empires isn't really floating as blackmail ok he could get Joel to undo everything he has done to Tumblr Town all while holding this information over Joel's head. I know it doesn't seem like much blackmail material and Joel could easily turn it all back on Jimmy but if you think about how fragile Joel's ego is and how much of it is inflated by how insane his empire looks then this is amazing blackmail especially considering that nobody else knows it. This could also be a major turning point in Jimmy having a full blown villain arc *shakes you* ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME

#shadow says a thing #i'm going crazy here #jimmy probably won't hold it over joel cause he either won't think of it or he's got other (lamer) plans #but it's such a aksjdjdj concept #empires smp #jimmy solidarity #solidaritygaming #joel smallishbeans #smallishbeans

Captain Rex let out a simple chuckle. "There was never any storm for them to navigate through or survive to finish the mission. They are the storm. A storm that will devastate the Empire so hard, they'll be talking about it for years to come." (template)

#oc: aminata clarmonte #oc: sarai clarmonte #oc: zuru #the party doesn't end until i throw out a star wars edit with the most iconic clowns #it's wild how aminata despite her grief and depression still managed to kick absolute ass and stay hidden #she got so mad over the injustice that she decided to fight the empire basically bare-handed #zuru with his clone network cooperated with rex and cody (though he never revealed himself until much later when working with Hera)#also the west wind gave aminata and sarai the advantage of seeing and knowing everything #which is how they were able to help the bad batch from the shadows #sarai was forced to grow up at the age of 8 because hanging around those two meant being on the run constantly #this also worked out in her favor because by the time aminata died she was able to vanish without a trace #loriedits #may the fourth be with you

low effort doodle but thinking about jimmy having a persona 4-esque shadow

#persona x mcyt #double life smp #< putting the dl tag cause i kinda feel like it resonates with him in dlsmp #solidaritygaming #jimmy solidarity #evangenny art #persona x empires #< kinda bc i have some ideas #but this can be just a general crossover not limited to my empires persona au #i was brainrotting over this so hard this afternoon while in the car #any thoughts y'all? just drop any ideas in tags or replies #i dont know why but i REALLY love the whole concept going on with the persona 4 shadows so #also the dialogue is based on that quote that goes #'insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result

New compare and contrast project:

Goncharov (1973, 2022) vs Shadows of the Empire (1996)

#not talking about aesthetics obviously just ... there's something very funny to me about lucasfilm doing this whole #what if we made a whole production about a movie but didn't make the movie #and then fandom just decides to do the same basic thing based on some guy's shoe #absolutely incredible. i will accept the over-use of 'chaotic energy' for this #anghraine babbles #goncharov 1973 #unreality cw #deep blogging #star wars #shadows of the empire #luckily i have other things to do or i'd personally mash goncharov and sote :P #imagine leia vs xizor (dir. martin scorsese)

(inspired by @rosesandalfazemas spiritual avatar headcanon)

Luciano, when he was not even Brazil yet, would have those dreams where a blue dragon appeared, and no matter where he went the beast's shadow followed him.

The dragon being a premonition of Portugal's arrival. Meanwhile Afonso sometimes would sometimes dream of a large snake. Its scales shiny like gold coins. But one day, after his arrival to the new lands at south, he once again saw the snake but this time it had attacked him and dragged him to dark waters.

#thats not her full hc this is just inspired #in her hcs port is a blue dragon and brazil is two sucuri snakes #also inspired by this post i saw about the nations having premonitory dreams #and if its not obvious the snake attacking port is a premonition of brazil rebelling against him #and the dragon's shadow is the Portuguese Empire looming over Brazil #hetalia #hws portugal #lh brazil #hws brazil #latin hetalia

in the shadowed hours of the night , irelia smiles as footsteps crossing the threshold to her room && doesn't bother turning around ; the extra security measures she set up as soon as she had the time ensured that the only person aside from herself who could breach this room is kayn . " oh my , what a privilege , " irelia muses in coy tones , but before she gets anything else out of her mouth —— he pushes her against the wall with a solid thud sound , temporarily knocking the breath out of her lungs ; but oh how she feels like she could laugh right in his face . because the scores don't matter to her after all ; this is a victory .

he's pressed up right against her , hair a lttle messed up and that familiar body heat flush against her skintight dress ... yeah , she definitely chose well when she bought this one to the event . wrapping a hand around his back and pulling him right against her , irelia gazes up at him with a satisfied cheshire cat - like smile just begging to fully manifest on her lips , but she holds back . as much as she wants this , needs him right this moment ... this is also what he needs from her . " are you here to be a good boy && show me how much you've missed touching all of me , kayn ? "

It took him ages to get the lipstick off his fingers. And of course he knew it was hers — he's had to try and rub it off before — off his neck, his chest, his thighs ... Irelia knows what she did when she kissed his fingers, just as Kayn knows what he's doing when he crosses the threshold of her room. The rules clearly state that no competitor may enter his chambers, but nowhere does it say anything about where Kayn can go. He is the emperor, after all. She's teased him since the moment she strode aboard his ship, and now it's time for her to pay her dues.

Everywhere Kayn goes, he takes what is his. This moment is no different. His body presses up against her, his breath a little too quick, his piercing gold eye taking in the look on her face like she's won something.

Maybe she has.

Her words make him draw a sharp breath, but when he grabs her chin it's all dominance. He'a man who's used to getting what he wants. "There are people aboard this ship who worship the very ground I walk on, and yet you are busy playing games." His thumb traces over her cheek, then circles back to her lips, thumbing the bottom one absently, like he's lost in thought. "Perhaps I ought to remind you what worship looks like, mm?" He touches their foreheads together, crosses the bridge of his nose over hers, taking up all her space. "Would you like to remember, Irelia? Reverence suits you so well."

high chaos emily for @notodin .

overseers and christians both have the same stench about them. it’s something like moldy water. they could never clean themselves of their sins in dirty, dirty infested water. a trail of blood follows them, it’s what they wade in to clean and then pretend it’s the cleanliest water there is. they hide behind their masks, free of pretenses and vanity. knights and overseers are very much alike. emily doesn’t even quite know where the buttons were pushed and who pushed them and she knows this isn’t quite like herself, but underneath the mirthful smile, the rest of her doesn’t seem to care. she hasn’t looked in a mirror since returning to england, so she’s missing even the fact her eyes are pure black. the deepest crevices of the void. she has a hood up that just covers her eyes, so anybody that didn’t die, wouldn’t have been able to point it out. she heard word of another coup attempt, whispers, so she came to end it. it’s just far too bad said coup attempt also partially worked -- using magic to rid her of something. maybe they thought it would simply kill her. they forgot she is the void.

it was just an encampment. two overseers, two high ranking christian members. she only knows the overseer structure, failed to learn the christian one. religion is the plague. there’s one overseer crawling away, whispering about a heretic. she doesn’t spare him out of mercy, merely keeps him alive so he can spread the word. heretic. maybe she can get used to that. then, just like that, she hops onto her horse and trots to eivor’s clan. a smear of blood across the royal symbol of her family. the one ship and it’s crew she took to get here should already be docked at ravensthorpe. she just got off to handle this.

#EMILY KALDWIN — daughter of the void.#EMILY DYN: EIVOR — there's no reason to fear shadows anymore.#notodin #i was trying to find some plotline that's NOT 'another cult brewing to take over empires'#but that's all i have #it just always works

love is my bf listening intently while i try to explain to them my thoughts about whether jesus is a figure in yugioh lore

#look. other deities and religious figures exist as yugioh cards and/or entities in the yugioh universe #demons are in play (at least in japanese)#i just think it makes sense for jesus to exist in yugioh either as a participant in shadow games or as a duel spirit #technically the shadow games predate jesus but there must have been some kind of monster dueling game during the roman empire #norse gods are duel spirits like there can't have been a 2000+ year gap in shadow gaming that conveniently glosses over biblical canon

All jokes aside I really do see 9/11 as one of the truly most evil and cursed events to happen in human history. Not because of the people who died in the actual attacks - easily dwarfed by a countless list of crimes against humanity and mass acts of violence the US alone commits every year just to sustain itself - but because of their fallout and the world order they produced. My entire life more or less has been lived in the shadow of forever wars, of the national security state, of ever-increasing militarism, of the so-called "Middle East" being torn and retorn apart over and over and over again and it getting worse with every single reconfiguration. There isn't going to be a way out until the entire US empire collapses under its own weight, and until then we'll all continue to suffocate.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Is that. My kineema.”

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - Something in him is about to break, *big time*.

EMPATHY - And it’s not going to be pretty, do something!

- DRAMA [Formidable] - Everything is fine!

- “Sure is.”

DRAMA [Formidable: Failure] - Surely he’s aware that he’s not the *only* person in the world who owns a Kineema?

YOU - “Is it really *yours*? I mean, plenty of people have their own Kineemas, right? Like working men, government offices, uh, firefighters I guess, maybe even animal control people? Exactly! A million different people who could’ve driven it into the uh…”

DRAMA - Pause, my liege! Ixnay on the Ineemakay!

YOU - “It could even be our *mysterious* joyrider!”

KIM KITSURAGI - Your frenzied babbling falls deaf to the lieutenant's ears. Instead, he approaches the broken vehicle, sunken in the ice. He moves with a caution and gentleness you haven’t seen him display before.

INLAND EMPIRE - It must be cold and lonely down there, in the icy water. Maybe he could sense its sorrow, calling to him…

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - His hands, which are always stiffly placed behind his back, are trembling.

ENDURANCE - This is the shuffle of a tired, tired man.

HALF LIGHT - He’s going to do something drastic because of you. Oh god, terrible! You’re a terrible liar! You can’t look at this, you just can’t!

VOLITION [Formidable: Success] - It's not *you* who drove his kineema into the sea. You have plenty of faults, but this one is decidedly not yours.

KIM KITSURAGI - He kneels down with his head bowed, casting his face in shadow. He plants a hand on the ice to stabilize himself, squinting to get a better view of the motor carriage. “Detective, it says ‘57’ on it.”

YOU - Sweat drips down your brow, and you feel a terrible headache coming. “Maybe our joyrider has an affinity for that number?”

LOGIC - He's not stupid, he knows that it's not that.

KIM KITSURAGI - “57.”

YOU - “What about 57?”, you brace yourself.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Precinct 57.”

YOU - You wince. “Kim, look-”

KIM KITSURAGI - “When I woke up in the Whirling-in-Rags with no memory of what happened during the days before, I've taken note that something of mine has gone missing.” He grits his teeth. "A very. Important. Something."

He runs his hands over his face, messing his already unkempt hair in the process. Regret creeps up on his features. “God. Fuck. They’re going to fire me over this, they’re not going to hear me out.”

EMPATHY - Desperation settles in the lieutenant's tone. Sadly, you find yourself in agreement, even if you don’t want it to be the truth.

YOU - “People are more valuable than machines, Kim.”

KIM KITSURAGI - “Not people like me.” He rasps.

YOU - “…”

KIM KITSURAGI - Before you can say anything more, you fail to notice the lieutenant carefully walking onto the edge of the ice. He looks over the frigid water, a dizzying blue that mirrors and distorts his exhausted face back to him.

YOU - “Kim?”

KIM KITSURAGI - Seconds pass as he looks to be contemplating something. Out of nowhere, he casually takes another step where the ice ends and the sea begins. It happens all too quick for the lieutenant to even voice a call for help— if he even wanted to — his body plunging into the cold water before your eyes.

YOU - “KIM!!!!”

uhhh bonus stuff? sorry i have swap au brainworms pfttt

(im not sure what skills kim has at the moment so rn he only has narration as his inner monologue ok whoops, i would like to keep harry as the guy who thinks in dialogue trees so im still figuring it out pfttt)

also, this was done bc i wanted to expand on these old scribbles of mine, just like an idea, i just think that he'd be having an even worse time wheezes

#disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #harry du bois #den's disco swap #disco elysium role swap #HI nobody look at the fact that. i am a novice writer at best DFGHJFGH #i had idea for some comic dialogue but it ended up being this instead whoops. i mean i could still draw this as a comic #anyways. i was like. trying to reverse engineer my idea of how kim can change into his bomber jacket instead of his uniform.#which. i dont think you can do with just simple convincing bc that thing is fused to him in spirit so there has to be like a good reason wh #oh it gets ruined! how? it gets like wet or smth! how'd that happened? he threw himself into the sea #also isnt it fitting that my memory problems is making me not remember the things that happen in disco elysium very well wheezes #so whoops if the characterization is a lil off lmaoooooo #but i have been trying to figure out how i want harry to be in this swap au #i dont think he's as well as he wants you to believe he is. and just the image of him pushing this 'youre allowed to be in denial about +#this' to kim about the kineema was so vivid in my head and idk if that tracks but hell. its in there now dfghdjfg #starry don't look #sunnysidedraws #sunnysidedisco
