#so he's picking every single one

[exghul]

"hey," an audible click and flash goes off as soon as Damian faces him, Tim grins behind the lenses, pleased. "Gotcha, and no I'm not throwing this out."

damian's paintbrush has barely touched canvas as he looks up to the sound of his brother's voice --- to be greeted with a shutter click, a bright flash.

statuesque features peer over his easel, unblinking eyes bore into the fixed point he found on timothy's cheek. he takes this moment to consider: is it truly worth the effort to make this a problem for the both of them?

. . . yes? yes, it is worth the effort.

the boy takes a deep breath through his nose, audibly exhales it in full. he drops his brush, letting the fresh acrylic mix into murky water.

❝ give me the sd card so that i might destroy it myself. ❞ and then within an instant, he is closing the distance between the pair, hands outstretched to snatch the camera from his brother's maniacal hands.

Wilbur: Everyone give it up for Alex Quackity! Thank you.

A close-up of one of the TNTduo hugs from the Lovejoy concert :')

#Lovejoy #Quackity #Wilbur #TNTduo #Wilbur Soot #Not even sure who to credit for this video because it's been reposted like. A billion times. #I'm sharing it because I did the zoom + tracking so we get to see the hug better #but I'm going to update this with the video credit as soon as I figure out who the OP is #I know most fans don't care about video crediting but I DO #anyways #Also don't worry I'm not going to spam everyone's timelines with every single video from the Lovejoy concert #I'm picking and choosing the best ones #I'll see if I can compile a multiple POV video #but most people are reposting the same videos over and over #so we'll see how that goes #Also it's worth repeating: I use the TNTduo tag as a DUO name #not a ship name #You are never going to see R/PF on this blog lmao #Gosh. The way he puts his head on Quackity's shoulder :'))) #my heart is soft #makes me think about how Quackity said he was proud of Wilbur #hang on I'm gonna post that #December 11 2022 #The lights are always so pretty at these concerts

I want to write a fic about Dream moving into a frat mid college for some reason and he has the surgery scars he has and every single time a frat bro sees him without a shirt on their reaction is "Dude, cool scars!! ... is it a trans thing?" "Uh... no, they're like, surgery scars" "Cool cool... you're still going with he/him right? Just to check" "yeah"

#the dog barks #dreamwastaken #the frat bros are of couse Sapnap Sam Punz George etc #I think Dream would have been put there because of an error in the system but the frat had space so he just stayed #he doesn't like talking about the surgery with strangers and the bros picked up on it so every single time someone asks they make up a new- #story about what happen #their favorite is “he was fighting a huge crocodile and it almost bit him in half” “he jumped into a trash compactor” #george in particular will always say that dream got the scars fighting the ender dragon #Dream has a girl group that he hangs out with and they use him as a test to see if the guy they like is worth dating #mostly not with the scars #Dream just has something that makes men feel like they need to puff up like a stupid chicken #(that something is that he's tall and hot and well liked by the girls and the gays) #the frat house becomes 70% queerer when Dream joins #his nickname by the end of the year is mr gay awakening #(no one calls him that to his face) #dsmp au

finally listening to the h-scene audio after 1.5 years on mute

yakumo: gasps and whimpers in the whiniest brokenest way me:

#every time i'm on tumblr i imagine myself in a shared cubicle office space with my fellow bloggers #just typing away and creating our gay little posts #sometimes i'm sitting on an exercise ball instead of a regular chair #bc that's the kind of ~hip~ workplace we're in #occasionally i'll encounter something that forces me to take a break from my station #and my coworkers are all very understanding and supportive #this is one of those times #i excuse myself from my desk and my neighbour nods in sympathy #i'm mad. this is a new precedent. i was never into steppable men. what happened #he stifles his moans and i'm like *CLAW GRIP* #i mean i kept the sound on for events and regular storylines so the game wasn't completely on mute #but i always muted for H scenes bc i had no earphones. and this is a shared house. with very thin walls #plus it's not like i'm one of those mega voice-lovers who can pick out a specific VA from 8km away based on a single grunt #but then i got earphones!! so i was like aight let's see what i'm missing here #omniscient external narrator's voice: uh oh #yakumo

Yesterday I was on Twitter and someone quoted this tweet that had a video of some gay kid reading the shit out of his friend and making her legitimately cry and they said smth like “so much gay boy humor is literally just misogyny like y’all need to start calling them faggots and moving on” and they got so much hate and all these people being like “this isn’t misogynistic it had nothing to do with her being a woman!!” or whatever and the person who said it was trying to explain to these people that verbally berating a girl you’re allegedly “friends” with and continuing to tear her apart after she’s gone silent and stopped playing along and is trying to blink back her tears and thinking it’s okay bc it’s a “joke” is literally just treating women like shit for ur own amusement… which is misogynistic . And these people were acting like they claimed the sky was green bc they called it misogyny . There is no hope for women 😭😭😭

#the video genuinely made me feel so bad for the girl like I hope she is NOT friends w that kid anymore #he was just rapid fire insulting every single thing about her and bringing up old personal shit for a TIKTOK???? #and there was another girl in the video sitting next to him who was just giggling #like bitch ????😭😭 #y’all hate ‘pick me’ girls but think it’s different when the man ur throwing another girl under the bus for is gay . okay #did we learn nothing from Andy Warhol being one of the biggest misogynists in pop culture history

haec rursus patienda manent, hoc ordine belli ibitur, hic stabit civilibus exitus armis [lucan, pharsalia], or alternatively titled, Aeneas Kills Turnus

there’s a million and seven things that went on in the ‘dialogue’ of figuring this painting out, but it’ll take like, literally 15 pages to explain, so instead I’ll pull together a thread of quotes that rattled around in my head while I made this and hope that the dots are all connectable

#the aeneid #turnus #aeneas #good GOD this took like 5 days to do #i looked at every single 'aeneas kills turnus' painting and picked my favorite motifs from them all and then scrambled them like eggs #drawing tag #aeneas is intentionally meant to be a little harder to see btw. he doesn't belong to himself and so he belongs to the background #anyway so like. rome is just an awful nightmare place. that one text on trauma in greek and roman literature? #about how a place holds the memory of the trauma so the trauma and memory continues to persist and exist both before and now? #rome. awful nightmare cannibalism city. a miserable place of miserable people #it's just a fucked up circle of a city!!!!! #it just keeps repeating itself!!!!!!!!!!!! all roads lead to rome and then youre STUCK THERE IN THE GRAVE WITH EVERYONE ELSE

btw its interesting the way james tries to imply that like. well the videos that have plagiarism are the ones our dumb stupid annoying patrons requested about bad topics that didnt deserve to have the effort put in to covering them well so basically its fine. like obv thats interesting on its own but moreso the fact that he doesnt actually /say/ it, or like. give a list of the videos hes referring to, just says "those videos are very clear on which ones they were" i think as a nod meaning like "yknow the ones everyones talking about". unless what hes meaning is that like they put a note in certain videos saying "this video was requested by a patron, we here at james somertom incorporated do not espouse these views" which seems unlikely to me. idk methinks maybe it's because there is indeed a lot more than people think and with all the buzz he's not sure which ones have been discovered yet or not, so putting down a solid list that missed some would look like he was still hiding things whereas putting down a fully sourced list would be admitting to wayyyy more than anyone's found yet

#which is ironic too bc if he genuinely did want to prove he understood what he did wrong and that hed changed thatd be the way to do it #yknow like a full list of every single source including ones no one has found on their own or /can/ find anymore would a) be taking full #responsibility and b) make people less likely to always be like 'youre still hiding something' #which in turn makes me super think hes still hiding a lot of somethings #also cant go without stating that the 'request a video topic' thing was only for $100/month patrons after 3 months on that tier #like fucker these people gave you THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS AT LEAST and youre trying to blame it on them?????? #no one forced you to make 'let patrons pick video topics' a reward dude like. hello???????? #shit dude even hbombs highest tier ($10 for anyone wondering bc he doesnt see his audience as a money machine lmao) #just says you can vote in polls about future topics #like that makes complete sense to me as a version of this‚ the most dedicated audience members get a say in the future of the #channel while the creator still gets overall control of the direction #also 'patrons who gave me fuckloads of money asked me to make videos on topics i didnt like so i plagiarized those' is i think uhhh #worse than just 'i plagiarize everything without remorse' frankly? #like at least with the second youre just a general shitbag but the first where youre a shitbag specifically to the people #majorly financially supporting you rather than just like. be an adult and say 'hm i dont feel like that topic really works for the channel‚ #do you have any other ideas?' #or dare i say even perhaps yknow. doing what other youtubers do in similar situations and find ways to tie that subject #to what they usually talk about is just. wild #course that last one would take actual creativity and aint that just the crux of the issue #james somerton #or i say cannot go without stating i should say cannot go without restating kwnrkabdkwbrn

I finally actually watched that Loki s1 bts clip where Owen quotes the first line of Two Gentlemen of Verona and. WHAT DO YOU MEAN he doesn't have any particular connection the play he 'just' took a Shakespeare class in college. He's so clearly trying to laugh it off like it's not very impressive but that's sure not working on me Owen, I can barely remember which classes I took let alone verbatim quotes from plays I'm not even that into WHAT

Everything about this ask, yes!!! 💕

Thank you anon because that's something I've been going on about for years ever since the s1 Assembled ep dropped lol, the fact that Tom just casually mentions Owen knows most of Hamlet BY HEART is wild but of course he shrugs it off as usual insisting it isn't true before dropping that line from Two Gentlemen of Verona verbatim?? Like okay tell me more about what you don't know then 😳

He has very possibly the most literary mind I've ever experienced and it actually drives me a little crazy that somehow isn't a more well known or acknowledged fact about him. After the first season of Loki ended I thought I'd just be going through his many films I hadn't gotten a chance to watch yet but instead got just as captivated with interviews where he was detailing his home libraries, referencing lines from even the most obscure novels or scenes at the drop of a hat and falling even more in love with how that's clearly shaped his sense of humor and delivery.

It's also why I wish he didn't laugh off the idea that he himself could've played Hamlet, which he likely did since as we've noticed he's quick to downplay his skills and talent, but also because that's how most of the general public would react if the same question was presented?? And he isn't especially comfortable on live stages so theater probably isn't a medium he's considered in any serious fashion but for me at least it's far more fascinating to see the take an actor more well known for comedy would give a dramatic role of any kind and I don't doubt he'd be incredible at any he set his mind to 🥰

#reminds me of this time he was called overseas to pick up extra scenes in the middle of a profile #and two weeks later started talking to the interviewer at the EXACT point of reference they left off at as if no time passed at all #his mind is huge and it's the hottest thing ever tbh #apologies as usual this reply was longer than expected but your ask is seriously something that's always on my mind bc he's SO IMPRESSIVE #and passionate!!! #just in every possible way which blows my mind every single day like there's always something to be surprised by with him? #it's just the most amazing thing ever so tysm for a wonderful ask and i hope your upcoming week is an amazing one #sending lots of love your way 💖💖 #ask

Thinking for the rest of my life how S1 of TWDG begins with Lee in cuffs, life over, because of a man he just killed, who took a girl he loved, and ends with Lee in cuffs, life over, because of a man he just killed, who took a girl he loves, but literally everything about that string of statements has so utterly changed meaning, the end could not be farther from the start. The bookend of finishing right where you started, and nowhere near it.

Both the first and last line in the game are spoken to Lee, about Lee, and reflect regret towards the end of his life, but even the flavor of regret could not be more distant. “I reckon you didn’t do it,” and “(I’ll miss you) - Me too,” do not even share a sadness. The first legacy, remarked on throughout season 1, would have been ‘murderer.’ The real one is so far the opposite, his ghost carries every person who survives for the rest of the series. I hear it described as about redemption, but the focus is never once in the game about Lee making up for something. You never even really know what he did or if it was merited. The game is a second life, and culminates in a stranger accusing Lee of having no right to live or have someone who loves him for every single thing he’s done wrong since the game began, no matter how unfair the accusation, and about that being bullshit. About it being enough, what he did for Clementine, for everyone, for himself. It’s about salvation, maybe. Of the self, by the self, from ruin, through meaning in love and caring for other people, no matter their endings or yours. Ben always dies, but it mattered. Omid always dies, but it mattered. Duck, Carly, Katya, Mark, Doug, always die, but it mattered. And Clementine always lives, and that does too. Lee always dies. It just takes the course of a season. But he’s not lost anymore when he does.

#and he’s never lost again. #the walking dead game #twdg #lee everett #twdg spoilers #it really is one of the best games of all time. like it won game of the year for a reason #I know the last lines are determinate but I have watched scores of plays and I’ve literally never see a human being their first time pick #any line but ‘I’ll miss you’. of course we all did. because we desperately needed to say ‘I love you’ and couldn’t. #but even if you do select one of the others the bookending remains just the dialogue is a slightly different line #anyway ‘I’ll miss you’ ‘me too’ may as well be it because every single person on the planet picks it and they knew we would #it’s literally the only dialogue everyone had in common #plus ‘don’t go’ if you let him turn but again. same emotional end same dialogue same meaning #thinking about the fact the narrative was so powerful Dave Fennoy said regularly after young people send him messages asking for help and #advice or just some kind of fleetingconnection or guidance because he voiced Lee and Lee left such an impact it carried over in a different #way than popular lead usually does #how incredible to think about

Would the human pets be capable of basic tasks like washing their clothes or preparing food? I can see some pets knowing how to prepare food as like, a fun little party trick to impress others, but as a basic survival skill I don't think it's commonly taught to humans anymore. There's most likely a line drawn between pets that are helpful and reliable, and pets that are too capable, to the point where certain owners may feel threatened by their level of intelligence and independence. I wonder just how helpless the humans would be without their aliens.

#alien stage #alnst #rambles #my take is this: hyuna is completely independent and knows every basic survival skill (a long process of learning if she was self-taught) #but afterwards she taught every single recruit how to take care of themselves. #i think hyuna would be the closest to a normal functioning adult in terms of skillset among the main cast #mizi would know how to prepare certain foods but only very simple ones #im not sure if till would know how to do anything properly but he's at least resourceful enough to keep himself going on his own #(since it seems like Guardian Urak leaves him to fend for himself most of the time) #Ivan would know how to do a lot of things in theory but has most likely never performed them himself #and i think sua and luka perform very decorative trophy-esque roles to their owners #so they wouldn't really know how to do anything other than what they're trained to excel at #of course theyre smart people so theyd pick it up eventually #but as of now they probably dont know how to cook or wash or properly clean aside from the basics of tidying after themselves #especially since sua is stated to constantly be in a daze with no plans #and luka as a kid seemed in his own world most of the time #THIS IS JUST ME THO LOL my opinions are bound to change eventually im jist #im just speculating and headcanoning for funsies

Holly Martins is the protagonist of ALL TIME, you don’t even understand…

he thinks he’s the hero in a western

he doesn’t know ANY German

he writes cheap novelettes

he sucks at flirting

he hates cops

he gets an old man killed 

he doesn’t know what a crisis of faith is (until it’s too late)

he is NOT coping 

he gets bit by a bird 

he doesn’t know anyone’s name

he makes terrible jokes 

he Cannot Leave

and, most importantly, he is deeply, deeply stupid

#i love him SO much - it’s unreal #he is everything to me #if i had to pick a favorite character in the film it would probably be Anna #because she has some of the most raw and unhinged lines i have ever heard that break my heart into a million pieces every time #but i saw some Holly slander the other day and i will NOT stand for it #he is TRYING and he is FAILING and that is PERFECT #the real mystery of The Third Man is how much trauma can one man go through without processing a single ounce of it? #stay tuned till the end to find out! #the third man 1949 #holly martins

there's so much manga i have to read it's unreal 😭

#for physicals i have 13 volumes of yona of the dawn. all of the rose of versailles. the first volume of the illustrated guide to monster #girls. and i need to reread tbhk or at least the first volume bc i told one of my kids at work that i'd let him read it while he's at the #program and i need to brush up on it bc it's been over a year. #and then for manga i don't have physicals of. i desperately need to reread and then catch up on kuro. considering everything the fact that #don't own the full series is a miracle probably prompted by how much my parents hated it up until the last few months when they suddenly #chilled tf out. i should get caught up on yuri is my job and finish killer in love. also i've sat down to read cocoon intertwined like 24 #times and gotten distracted and didn't every single one. i've been meaning to reread ohshc and pick up kamisama kiss. fruits basket. #vampire knight. nana. the apothecary diaries and chainsaw man. and i should give goodnight punpun a proper read too #then there's all of clamp's works in release order bc i have two volumes of tsubasa but haven't touched them bc i need to go in #release order or i'll die. and now that i think about it i'm really behind on oshi no ko #+ i have a full google doc of manga i need to get too and this is just what i can think of off the top of my head so god knows #what else is in there #romeo.txt

There's something wrong with Tiga, he's limping and being weird so if my already bad start to the year wasn't bad enough 💖

#hes so old i hope its just he jumped on his leg weird or something but who knows #he might have something else terrible happening i dont know im sick of everything i dont want to deal with it anymore #i just want to sleep #so now im just worried sick to my stomach about the cat and i still feel like a kickbox got me in the ribs and the head from covid #like last night it was really not funny bc it was driving me crazy but i ate one single blueberry #1 #and a seed got stuck in my back molar and when i say it got /stuck/ i mean i used tooth picks floss brush even a water flosser gum #glue tack everything to try and get it out #and eventually gave up and went to sleep #it was stuck there for 12 hours and i had to get it out with a sewing needle. #is that not the perfect representation of my life #every stupid small hindernace and inconvenience Always happens. #always. #its really a joke. my whole life is a joke.

ramattra to genji: you sick little freak. you insidious, incompetent, utter buffoon of a man wasting my time. how could zenyatta ever lower himself to associate with you and your pea-brained capacity for intelligence. his patience is his blessing and his curse. if i could strike you down where you stand i would do it without hesitation if only to save zenyatta the embarrassment of your company.
