#that instant connection

[harri-etvane]

Because we have dignity and we will not allow our freedom to be taken away from us. Because we have to protect our freedom in order not to lose our dignity. Because we know and remember one of the important wisdoms we learned long ago: how important it is not to be afraid, how important it is to fight. - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

#volodymyr zelenskyy #volodymyr zelensky #володимир зелеиський #servant of the people #(his speech on the Day of Dignity and Freedom was just... so very moving #as ever) #endlessly thinking about the arthurian legendary vibes of these images tbf #also endlessly thinking about the way he uses 'we' in his speeches #that instant connection

yeah, diabetes sucks sometimes, but every once in a while I see someone in public with a dexcom or pump, and I point to my own, and despite being total strangers we have this mutual shared understanding that no one else gets, and it feels like a secret club that we’re in that no one else gets to be a part of

#There’s literally nothing more exciting than seeing a Dexcom out in the wild #Like there’s this whole community out there that has this shared experience that no one else will ever understand #And we can see/recognize each other out in public and it’s like: instant connection #I see you and you see me and we instantly *get it* #Who else gets to have an experience like that? #And don’t even get me started on diabetes camp #Literally my favorite thing in the world #diabetes #type 1 diabetes #t1d #t1diabetes #type one diabetes

A girl makes one (1) X-files post and all of a sudden there’s 50 people in the tags chanting “join us join us join us”

I’m not mad about it though, I am thoroughly enjoying this show. I’m on episode 20 but let me just harp on about the fucking chemistry between these two. I don’t remember what episode it was or what was going on but Scully was turning away from Mulder and he grabbed the chain of her necklace to stop her…… sir, and then the episode where they’re up in Alaska and there’s a parasite that was dug up out of the ice and Scully checks that Mulder isn’t infected and then he checks her and there was no reason for his hand on her neck to be so sexy!! And it’s from the get go, this instant connection. Please tell me they end up together at some point???

there's been many times where i've felt like i'm posting into the void, and then years later someone finds the post and Understands The Vision. it's so gratifying

#im 100% not immune to the instant gratification of Posting On Line #but it's so nice when someone finds a sketch i did inspired by a concert or a norwegian movie years later. a connection through time #im glad that's a thing that's possible on tumblr. letting something sit for years and it's not forever lost to the scroll

Thinking about kid Syd and kid Carmy spending an afternoon neither of them remember anymore playing under the tables of The Beef

#that instant connection kids can feel #carmy who was shy and had a hard time making friends #coming across this very sober girl who is with her sad dad #who lights up at the sight of the sandwich so he goes to tell her he also gets happy with the sandwiches #and then somehow they're playing restaurant (he's on the front and she's cooking) under the empty tables in the corner #and its forever but really just a couple hours #bc Syd's dad takes the opportunity to rest and matbe cry a little and he can tell the teenager at the till with the black hair is constantl #keeping an eye on the curly haired blue eyed white kid #Syd tells her all about her new friend on the way back glowing with the news #but the next day she's moved to a new thing and doesn't even ask after him next time they come into the beef #eventually Emmanuel forgets all about the quiet kid too #mmine #the bear #the bear fx #sydcarmy #sydney adamu #carmy berzatto #carmy x sydney

Likely unpopular and controversial thoughts have been bouncing around my head as I’ve been trying to sleep.

So foetus Jack brainwashed Kelly and Cas into believing that he was going to be amazing for the world and was going to do great things and that’s why he should live. But what great things did he actually do?

Becoming god doesn’t count because that was something he had done to him rather than be a use of his powers.

#the ‘visions of the future’ he gave them are suspicious as fuck #it’s either manipulation or brainwashing but I lean towards brainwashing #because It’s not just a change of mind after connecting with him it’s almost instant devotion

I saw a poll for Mother’s Day that had Yor winning “Best Anime Mom” and I just thought how much that would mean to her. She’s got so much imposter syndrome and self-doubt about being a mother to Anya. She doesn’t see herself as coming anywhere close to Anya’s dead “real mother” despite just how much Yor cares about the girl. I don’t think she’s ever really admitted it (even to herself) but it’s so obvious that she loves Anya with her whole heart and then some.

I seriously cannot wait for her to find out that she’s not the stepmother. That she really is the mother Anya has always wanted and she’s not just second fiddle. The only thing holding her back is the belief that she’s replacing someone, but once that goes away…

#I know Anya had an actual mom #but given her age I have a strong suspicion Anya never really met her #her real mother may have just been a surrogate for the scientists who experimented on her #I don’t know - but I think she doesn’t have a strong emotional connection to her #to Anya ‘mama’ means Yor #(I think her crying in that interview more had to do with her not believing she had a mother at all #the pain came from her knowing she should have a real mother but she never knew her #and this was before she got really attached to Yor #but I think Yor unknowingly cemented something for Anya #when she sputtered out ‘mama’ while in tears and Yor shot to her feet in an instant) #spy x family #yor forger #anya forger #Yor’s such a good mom #I have strong feelings about it

so these frames gave the idea that there was some love triangle going on there (mostly because of nathalie’s shocked face in the second memory) while there actually wasn’t, because we later find that gabriel and emilie were already together then and not only falling in love. but here’s how i make sense of them:

in my head the timeline is that gabriel got together with emilie when they were like in their early 20’s. emilie left her family and gabriel began his business soon after and then they decided to have a child at around 25, but they couldn’t so they began their hunt a few years after. maybe gabriel is like 30.

this is when they meet nathalie who despite being very young is super talented and knows a lot so she’s perfect for the job and she’s like 21-23.

and the thing about this age is that. you’re kind of swinging back and forth between feeling like a teenager and feeling like an adult. so, like a teenager, you can still get these kind of naive crushes on older people, which aren’t actually love but infatuation, but as an adult, you start seeing these older people more as your peers, actually, so things can get confusing.

so this is what happens to nathalie when she feels attracted to gabriel. and sometimes her subconscious forgets that this isn’t college anymore, where someone having a girlfriend/boyfriend didn’t mean they couldn’t be available at some point later. she has to actively remind herself that she can’t have hope because he is married.

but she’s a romantic and one day there’s this moment when it’s just the two of them and they work so well together and rational thought goes out the window for a while because there’s a connection. and in her heart something shifts and for a moment it gets convinced that it’s possible, she and gabriel. but soon enough it all comes crashing down when they come back and she’s like oh right. emilie exists. and we’re adults. and they’re a literal married couple.

but still that little thing that shifted that day perseveres, even as she grows up and matures. her feelings that began as simply idolizing gabriel evolve to the constant background love she has no option but getting used to. and then they resurface when she’s helping him get the miraculous, when she can’t dismiss them as a childish admiration anymore.

#a few months ago i was out with my pilates classmates and one of them is 27 #and i thought ‘we’re practically the same age i can be friend with her’ #but then she went like ‘yeah and then my wife..’ #and i was like fuck right. she’s older. she is the age of having a wife. #and then i read a fanfic where nathalie meets gabriel and there’s an instant connection there but then he goes ‘come. meet my wife.’ #and the writer didn’t have to say a single word after that. because i knew. i understood. #you know what i mean????? #gabenath #gabriel agreste #nathalie sancoeur #miraculous ladybug #miraculous spoilers #mlb

something i'm grateful for about Wally is the representation for people who love eye contact. we're underappreciated smh

#its very fun to see a character who Looks Intently bc he Likes It and thinks its Polite #eye contact is so so so so good but the majority of people hate it and Whyyyyyyy #it makes being around people so difficult #i naturally stare into a person's fucking soul when holding a conversation #so i have to constantly remind myself to look away periodically or look somewhere else entirely #and then my thoughts turn into 'youre making too much eye contact. now youre making too little. stop looking over there.' #'make eye contact WAIT NO NO ok great we just awkwardly glanced at them. fuck. what are they even saying rn we stopped listening' #and then if i make eye contact with someone in passing / a stranger #its immediate panic like Oh Fuck What If They Think We're A Total Freak Now. Shit Shit shit #or the equally terrifying What If They Think That Was An Invite To Interact #but otherwise. let me stare into your souuulllllll pleaseeeeeee #Without it being weird or making you uncomfortabllle #i am trying to CONNECT and show that i am ENGAGED i am LISTENING #absolutely unprompted #shoutout to all my adhd/autistic homies who looooooove eye contact #we're rarer than a unicorn stg #if eye contact is a sliding scale its the only binary im participating in #i think this might be why i like cats so much. instant staring contests. prolonged comfy eye contact #yeah physical contact is great but have you ever held casual Eye contact with someone

AU where Tim's family is connected to the Court of Owls rather than Dick's, and Tim decides to go undercover as a member of the Court

alt version and explanation under the cut

(Disclaimer: I know the court of owls storyline happens in the n52 continuity, but for my own sake (as i don't really like tim's whole deal in it lol) this AU is using pre-n52 backstories and characterizations)

In this AU, Janet Drake was a member of the Court of Owls, unbeknownst to Jack and Tim. Bruce eventually finds this out, but chooses to keep it from Tim to protect him. Tim, of course, finds out that Bruce is keeping this from him, and, feeling betrayed both by Bruce and his own mother, decides to infiltrate the Court on his own. The court has been sending him cryptic invitations ever since Bruce announced his initiative to improve Gotham, looking for a way into both the Wayne family and WE. As a member of the Court, Tim is able to gather information to help stop them, but in order to maintain his cover, he is forced into many situations where he is forced to choose between compromising his morals or compromising his position in the Court.

#tim drake #red robin #batman #court of owls #dc comics #the court of owls #dc fanart #i haven't fully finished the court of owls storyline. it lost me when they said that the graysons were connected to the court of owls #like. tim is right there. he has a mysterious long-dead parent who was both rich and gone literally all the time #that's literally perfect for this kind of story!!!!! why did they have to choose dick for it instead???? #anyway this AU concept kind of took over my entire brain the instant i started reading the story #the explanation is kind of long but i promise its even longer in my own head #i really do think an infiltration mission would have suited the court storyline best #bc then we could see all of the messed up stuff the court gets up to!!! #they have a massive torture labyrinth for god's sake!!!! give me some gladiator fights!! #give me some messed up human hunts a la the most dangerous game!!! #anyway. i might post more about this concept later #art #my art #weaverofink

I looove your Hardison posting I remember in the juror #6 job when he talks about being dressed up in suits and brought door to door and suddenly his whole, everything, made sense to me. he's wired for public speaking presentation mode in miniature. Even his grift style, like you said Parker is always trying to hold her weirder self back and Eliot grifts shy or subdued or mysterious, but Hardison grifts like a standup comic or a kid selling something on your doorstep who expects the door to slam in his face if he stops to take a breath

yeah, absolutely! that's really well-put. i think comic/salesperson is a great way to frame it, because both rely on holding people's attention in an entertaining way and being sensitive to how people are reacting to you. one of my favorite character traits about hardison is that he's the powerpoint guy not just because he's the most technologically adept, but because he's good at communicating information to an audience. and i get that a lot of the presentation graphics and effects are designed for the audience at home, but i also think it's fully in-character for hardison to be staying up crafting the perfect powerpoint transition lol. like in the gold job when he goes out of his way to create silly codenames with animated graphics! how long did it take for him to find the perfect stock art? at what point did he go, "you know what will win over eliot? if i added a little three frame animation here"

it's one of my favorite little character moments that shows off his thoughtfulness + creativity + humor lol

#oh and to add onto the juror 6 point! something about when you're knocking on people's doors you're operating from an instant disadvantage #plus how he makes a point to mention being sent to black and white neighborhoods #like i think at all points he's (not necessarily consciously) thinking about how people perceive him + #thinking about how to communicate/connect with another person by meeting them where they are #also speaking of the gold job somebody on that writing team is a DM and i'm onto them #they frame it as a video game thing but the improvisation element + lessons from nate at the end are like #someone on that team learned that lesson the hard way running a campaign #leverage #leverageposting #alec hardison

people of the old world(?) + recognition through the eyes Will & Katherine (Dark Rise, Chapter 17) // Will & James (Dark Rise, Chapter 20) // Will & Visander (Dark Heir, Chapter 42) // Will & James/Anharion (Dark Heir, Chapter 51)

#dark rise #dark heir #will kempen #katherine kent #james st clair #visander #anharion #this (among other reasons) is why I think Katherine was the Lady reborn #this sort of instant connection only seems to occur between reborns/returners and not descendants #james never meets katherine and we don't get his pov when he meets visander #though we know that visander recognises him as anharion pretty instantly #but I would argue that he didn't need eye contact for it to happen bc #1) he knows what anharion looks like 2) james was doing what will asked of him and 3) he introduced himself as tdk's lieutenant #and this is also!! why I believe James hardware is running Anharion software at the moment #mine
