i forgot to post this sketch of the everthere wedding fic that @pichikui made last year 🤍💜 !!

#the everthere #korrasami #finally read this fic recently #i like to wait forever until i can readmy own fics as a reader #as in its blurry enough atp for me to approach it as a reader #very roundabout way of finding fic up ur alley is to write and wait for ur shit memory to do the rest #my fic

there are no amount of domestic policy gains you can cite that will make people change their mind about voting for biden. it's not like the people refusing to vote for him are too uninformed to understand that biden has provided significantly more domestic protections for LGBT people than trump will, but some people are simply willing to risk their own political standing to avoid legitimizing genocidal regime. i dont think anyone in the world is operating the impression that trump would provide less funding and arms to israel but i also don't think it's a stretch to say that there are huge swathes of center-lib shitfucks who will suddenly change their mind about carpet bombing civilians when it's The Friggen Cheeto Man doing it instead of their favorite blue ghoul.

#post going around my dash from various people that's bothering the shit out of me #its such a fuck you got mine approach to politics #to be clear i am not saying a trump presidency will be better for literally anyone. #but the fact that the administration truly doesn't believe biden's policy on gaza will effect his reelection campaign should prove to you #that this regime does not value human life either no matter how much you'd like that to be the case

aziraphale's avoidance issues, though

like they're similar to but also different from crowley's. because crowley physically tries to avoid things, like let's leave the bookshop when angry, let's suggest going to alpha centauri when the world's in danger, let's drive gabriel out to dartmoor and leave him there, etc

but aziraphale mentally checks out. let's pretend like it's silly to be wary of an amnesiac archangel who has previously threatened us and could regain his memory with no warning, let's fixate on hooking up these two random humans instead of thinking about the very real threats being levied against us by heaven and hell, let's ignore a goon squad of demons right outside the door so we can have our jane austen fantasy ballroom dance, etc

aziraphale is just as prone to running away as crowley does, but like many things with them, he tends to do it internally instead of externally. like yes on the one hand he is a determined optimist, he's not naive he chooses to believe in good things and try to make them happen.

but on the other hand, his approach to a lot of bad stuff is to just sort of not think about it until it's throwing a brick through his window

#good omens #aziraphale #i love him he has my exact same awful approach to shit #like well i don't know how to deal with that so i just won't #and then one day i guess i'll die #sorry bud i know i've tried it but it's no good it only magically works out sometimes because crowley takes care of it instead

day 132

no regular art today bc i am feeling a lil sick BUT!! i can finally show off the completed ren faire aradia fit!! it's all finished and i finally got to put it together for the first time. i am really pleased with how all of it turned out, and it felt really nice wearing an outfit comprised only of stuff that i had made myself.

#day 132 #year 5 #aradia megido #homestuck #it me #cosplay #i kind of overdid things which is part of why i think im feeling so crummy right now #BUT i had a nice time and i got lots of compliments on my outfit #there was even a small child dressed as a fairy who approached me and said that she liked my outfit #and then she handed me a small itty bitty potion bottle full of gold glitter #it was SO sweet and literally the highest compliment i have ever received. will be cherishing that shit for the rest of my days

Finally watched Blue Eye Samurai and damn, this show really is everything everyone's been saying. But also man, it's really making me think how much I wish non-animated shows focused on visuals. With everything being nearly-fully CGI, why do movies and shows have to look so... boring? If a friend group with a 90s camcorder can do it, why can't Disney (check out GGLS btw)? Idk, just frustrates me. Anyway, here's this show being eye candy.

#GGLS is Green Goblin's Last Stand #legit for a film made by friends with pocket change it has some seriously impressive cinematography sometimes #blue eye samurai #mizu blue eye samurai #also MAN i love how they handle disabilities in the show #i cant speak for the amputee rep but as someone with speech impediments (stammer and a lisp) i adore the way they approached it #like “mind works so fast mouth can't keep up” is literally something i use to explain my stammer #and then portraying it not only as something undeserving of hate but also as beautiful and worth love/sexual desire? #man that shit put a giddy lil smile on my face #netflix #animation #mizu #takayoshi blue eye samurai

Scenes like this keep cropping up and I cannot help but roll my eyes all the way back into my skull

Don't worry guys, having NEW children fixed him. This famously teaches a violent man to stop hitting kids and makes him no longer feel the need to construct nightmarish scenarios so he can humiliate and embarrass those he has power over. Men whose wives produce lots of babies for them are Very fulfilled and Understand how strong bonds are supposed to be

"Instead of advising him he'd been defensive" is a REALLY INTERESTING way to phrase "got so offended at the suggestion to stop murdering women for their land that he shoved his son's face in a festering wound and told him to leave him to get eaten by maggots."

I wonder how they'd spell something like, "walked through a patch of thorns so that his son would be in physical pain and then belittled him for finding an alternate route because he wanted him to suffer" and "lied directly to his face about why he abandoned him when he realized the child could be useful"

#bones reads dotc #it pisses me off because theyre completely dancing around the specifics of WHY he was so bad #Because NO it wasnt just that he was a little defensive and critical #He was a fucking *ghoul* #He LOVES having power over people and still does #It's WHY he likes Starf they said it on the page #But now they're trying to say that Starf fixed him by producing children #And like... do I have to explain in-depth why that's a fucking AWFUL idea? #Why that's incredibly misogynistic?? #Why that shouldn't be taught to kids??? #I want to climb up on top of a tower and shout #YOU CANNOT FIX ABUSIVE PEOPLE BY GIVING THEM A BABY #THAT WILL ACCOMPLISH THE OPPOSITE RESULT 100% OF THE TIME!!!! #This is domestic violence 101!!! #This is shit they WARN you about right out of the gate when you approach the general vicinity of the topic of battered women #Abusers get MORE abusive the minute they have some kind of power over you. When there's an assurance that you wont leave #for the fandom that is SO VERY quick to accuse Maple of baby trapping Apple they do not so much as PEEP on this #Or how all of Clear's mates are pregnant within a month or two of making it official with him................... #my post on this man didnt go far enough but i physically could not fit more images into it

FowlFest 2023, day5, favourite scene

Heavy tlc spoilers

Artemis,

Help me.

We don't possibly talk enough about this scene. And theres no valid excuse for that!

We all, including Holly, know what he did was for the better; and he did not in fact let her die.

But imagine being stabbed through your heart with a fucking cursed sword, and you ask the one and only person you trust to save you in that situation for help, only to be watched to death before their very eyes.

And Holly had never asked for help. I don't remember her doing it after either. She does shit on her own. The agony, the pain, and oh boy the TRUST, for her to do that.

Its painful.

Yes, Artemis in fact didn't let holly die, but she is to forever have nightmares about that moment. And in her dreams, Artemis does indeed only care enough to glance her way briefly.

#i was trying to go for a more artistic approach for these #not sure if I succeeded #but it was fun to experiment around. #I don't usually wrote down my analysis on shit like this but I thought maybe I'll give it a try #death scenes in the af series are generally my fave #peak trauma? sign me up bb #death tw #artemis fowl #fowldom #af #artemis fowl ii #artemis fowl fanart #holly short #holly short fanart #artemis fowl and the lost colony #fowl fest 2023 #fowlfest 2023 #fowlfest #fowl fest #im really proud of some details i put in hollys painting #fowlfest2023

Hello!

If you're not too busy, would you mind listing some of the things you think count as death flags for Mr. Spender?

There's the obvious fact that he's the "old" mentor to group of young protagonists, but what else do you think would count?

OHH BOY ok so I'd think I'm a crackpot for this but since we're talking about Zack "Foreshadowing" Morrison. I have some thoughts

No harm in leading with the (chronologically) first thing that jumped out at me:

This one IMMEDIATELY made me antsy whenever I came back to it after my initial read, and considering Zack has referred to it on twitter in the past as one of their favorite jokes it's definitely not been forgotten about.

Second, the sheer amounts of near-misses, jokey or not, of Spender narrowly avoiding specifically lightning

Again, not much, but it's weird that it happened thrice, latter two of which had real gravitas rather than an one-off joke.

And third, Spender himself. He's repeatedly shown himself to be kind of a self sacrificing idiot, as well as prideful to a fault. Granted, it's both him and Mina trying to take on all the responsibility of saving Mayview and its inhabitants from their fate.. But Spender is exactly that right measure of doesn't-value-himself-enough (chest footprint aftercare or lack thereof), having an obscene amount of power (enables his loner act + pride) and poor judgement that has the capacity to put him at great risk. And it has!

Spender has not only shown low enough self-esteem to view himself as the de-facto scapegoat for the safety of the town, but also prideful enough to make very bad calls that end up in people, often himself, hurt (COUGH FORGE INCIDENT COUGH)

This is all conjecture, but it's definitely enough to make me worried about him :') Even if all this doesn't mean he'll necessarily die he's definitely getting (even more) seriously injured at some point. I love the guy but he's so far doing a horrible job of convincing me he wants to live bad enough to circumvent at least that

#not art #admin answers #paranatural #pnat #richard spender #pts-fic-notes-and-blog #before i continue on with tag ramble i just want to say tysm for leaving an ask! #none of my friends read this so ive been stewing on these thoughts for some months and i loved finally sharing them #this isn't exactly proof but the hijack possession seemingly being the final nail in the coffin for his and isabel's relationship. #idk it feels significant to me. thats one more tether to support kinda gone. someone who knows him well enough to know he's unwell #he seems not exactly content but fr incapable of not burning bridges as he is now. and considering how rashly he acts he REALLY needs those #to not do stupid shit all the god damn time with no buffer other than Lucifer. who for his measured approach to rick's hotheadedness #has honestly shown himself to be pretty lenient and kinda bad at controlling spender's more (self) destructive tendencies? so he dont count #to be clear i love spender to bits but he is dumb as rocks and has all the self preservation of a fruit fly. it needs to be said #also the lightning man... idk its WEIRD like especially on the reread its the thing that most consistently threatens him! it repeats #sure he gets chewed by a bat and banged up by forge but?? he somehow always comes back to lightning. catnine has it out for him #its something i didnt even really put together until i continued reading the flashback chapter AFTER getting this ask and went OHHHGNHF #which the only reason lightning is such a non issue is lucifer's powers. which belong to his sunglasses and not to the spirit in him #so its not like they can't be taken away he's just got a really good excuse for having those on all the time #TAGS GETTING SO LONG. ANYWAYS. i hope this is comprehensible lol

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?

day 356

BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails

truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute

#day 356 #year 4 #dave strider #aradia megido #aradave #homestuck #she really saw this kid and was like OH YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR MORTALITY?? :D #boy do i have some relevant life experience and wisdom to impart on THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY #and then she just. very gently and kindly makes the subject more approachable for ghostdave #the pesterlog i linked is literally my FAVORITE aradia moment. to me it is THE character defining moment for god tier aradia #yes she is being kind of ominous and trickstery at first #but it VERY quickly becomes clear shes got genuine concern for this kid she's had very little to do with up until this point #she really wants to connect with him over their shared time aspect stuff #and she really DOES care about how he feels about everything. she wants to help and she wants to put him at ease #because she KNOWS from experience that being dead and having to cope with what that means for you is like VERY UPSETTING AND TRAUMATIC #shes not just like. 'hee hee i think death is great and awesome because im edgy' #shes like 'no dude being dead is scary if you dont have anybody to explain this shit to you. so im going to explain it-' #'-and hopefully by the end of this conversation you will have some new things to feel relief and maybe even joy and excitement about' #'not just in spite of the death thing but BECAUSE of it' #i know shes spooky and has weirdgirl swag and we all love that about her but like #at her core she is a very KIND person. she may occasionally struggle to connect to people through the Death Special Interest Haze #but she WANTS to and when she DOES she is like. a genuinely very warm and comforting presence for her friends #ANYWAY. if andrew hussie or i guess james roach now want to give me an honorary doctorate for my 12+ years of intensive aradia studies #i will be here waiting patiently #timerails

i refuse to believe that the events of inquisition happened in one year because i’m finally reading tevinter nights and it’s a WEEK’S journey through the mountains to get to skyhold. and that’s not even counting travel time for how long it takes to get from the frostbacks to anywhere else. at LEAST a fortnight’s travel, both ways, any time you want to go somewhere. and we’re making that trip dozens of times

#begging for crumbs to figure out a sense of scale for this world #i tried before because i believe asunder mentioned it’s a two week trip from the white spire to adamant #or maybe that’s just to the first marker in the approach i forget #my point is they’re just making shit up and they can’t keep getting away with it 😭 #i’ll accept that the blight was 6-18 months but we’re covering at LEAST twice that ground #AND retreading a lot of it. AND our home base is notoriously difficult to reach but. obviously we have to return there #like i GUESS you could say it’s like. god i still don’t know the months of this place #january 9:41 to december 9:42 lol. but Still #mine
