if the theory of sam reich being replaced by .. evil wizard dalton reich (and i cant believe i am partaking in this discurse) is true..

i've seen some people asking the question about what those childhood tapes mean. Well i am one of the ancient ones that owned vhs tapes and you know you could replace whats stored on those tapes with overwriting it with new material but it would slowly degrade the quality as the magnetic tape the information is stored on isn't necessarly made to be re-recorded on indefinetly which would also explain the degrading quality of the gamechanger episode.

So my theory is that dalton reich wants to erase sam from history and to do this he is slowly erasing any proof that could hint on sam and dalton being two different people. One thing he appearantly needed to do is overwrite these old vhs tapes of sams childhood.

#game changer #dropout tv #Sam Reich #having worked in an archive i think depending on quality of the tape and what generation it is #you can record and re-record on it 5-10 times #which would fit the loops on the episode kinda #listen i wanted to be cool but i love time loops OKAY #I am actually in disbelieve that no one tackled sam to the ground #like brennan did during the dance thing in the “second place” episode #and screamed “DANCING IS A SIN” #to keep Sam from kicking the god damn camera #i also feel like i've been hexed with the wenis curse #you see all those text about it and think.. well... how bad can it be? truely? #and the answer is simple #EVERYBODY DO THE WENIS #THE WENIS IS A DANCE #EVERBYODY IS A GENIUS #WHO KNOWS IS IN ADV (gunshoots.. sirens blaring in the background.. and a wet thud sounds right next to you) #also.. not to be like alu head levels of conspiracy but by now the nimber of accounts #saying the dropout cast should be hunting down sam as the final game changer episode of the season #is suspicious to me #like... if that turn out to be a fixitman situation of people being IN on something #am just going full balls to the wall riz gukgak tatooing night yorb on his chest levels of insane by now 👍 #also the sfx needed thing #reminds me about how jacob always does his own buzzer sound #because clearly the normal buzzer sound was always there #also.. the red shining buzzer reflecting in the prompt screen..that wasn't always that way right?

the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

This is an on the string propaganda post

Brought to you, by me (with love)

It's time for machine comforts. Comforts we can't understand, or experience. Let them be happy, let them be at peace with their body.

Does a breath of cool water feel nice on their systems? When it's quiet do they listen to their own heart and feel the electricity pulsing? Does it remind them that they are alive and a part of this world? Do they have dreams? Hopes and projects they wish to work on, hobbies?

Why get off the string into the harsh and deadly world, fighting for survival and losing everything they've ever known to love about themselves?

What about the safety of their bodies? How scary would it be for a machine with thousands, maybe millions of throughs to suddenly have just a handful. The horror of everything going silent.

They have hundreds of eyes to see the world for all its beauty, they capture moments that would otherwise go unseen. Why blind themselves of such things?

#they are alive with ALL of themselves #people make puppets way too important. can we spare some love for the giant box in the recursive transfrom array? #can we give a little love to the neuron flies that dance and carry the thoughts of the iterator #and the memory conflux...they'd never forget anything..not your birthday or your favourite colour or the things you care about #the general system bus playing a song.. something unique just to them.. you can sit and listen to them think #and overseers that you can always show your art to..and they can do a lil spin and display a heart to show the appreciation #Could you lay on the ground on top of an iterator and feel the hum of the structure? could you watch the stars together? #and even after the ancients are gone could they light up rooms and make patterns of glowing windows on the side of the buildings? #really big machines can be happy being really big machines #let them have their comforts and joys we could never understand #love iterators <3 so fascinating #rain world #iterator #rain world oc #iterator oc #oc veil of dreams #drawins

okay but dancing with somebody is The love language of all time. you don't have to be good at it. you don't have to know any fancy moves. you don't even have to be able to move much at all. you just need some good music, a little love in your heart, and a hand to hold, and before you know it you will be on top of the world never wanting to leave the moment you've created together. it is my genuine honest to god belief that everyone should get to dance with someone or several someones they love at least once in their lives. for your health or whatever.

#🐉 #YES that desert du0 dancing post prompted this but im right #<- censoring to avoid main tags #aaaaand now im thinking about dancing with my friends who moved away that one night back in 2020 *lies facedown on the ground*

Re: s3 Forgiveness and Apologies

Much has been speculated about how long it will take Crowley to forgive Aziraphale, how Aziraphale will apologize, if it will involve the dance, etc, etc.

Thing is, I think Crowley has already forgiven Aziraphale. He never holds a grudge against him. Aziraphale is instantly forgiven. Always.

Look at him waiting by the car. He's not mad. He would take him back in a second.

He understands why Aziraphale is making the choice, even if it hurts and he disagrees with it.

I want to highlight the lines, "Nothing lasts forever." and "No, I don't suppose it does."

We know Aziraphale just means the bookshop, while Crowley's thinking about their relationship. But something I think is really important here to note that I see people miss is that Crowley knows what Aziraphale meant. But the words resonated, encapsulating the impasse they've reached, and really Crowley is talking to himself with that line.

"I understand," he says. He knows Aziraphale, understands what he meant, what his motivations are, and why he's doing this. He wishes he wouldn't, and he can't support it, but this is who Aziraphale is, and there is nothing to forgive.

So, tangentially, regardless of how/if Aziraphale decides to apologize, Crowley won't make him do the dance.

For Crowley, the apology dance was only ever flirting. He never actually needed Aziraphale to apologize for anything, and if it does happen, it will only be after they've already reconciled and are ready to flirt again.

#much more could be said of course on Aziraphale's attitudes on forgiveness and apologies #but I think others have covered that ground pretty well #something something else about the ways Crowley often says things to Aziraphale that have hidden double meanings #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens meta #crowley #ineffable divorce #apology dance #the apology dance

I want to be a hobbit so bad :(

#I want to live in my silly little hole in the ground #and eat 7 meals a day #and grow potatoes in my garden #and drink tea and read books #and crochet warm blankets #and make pretty flower crowns #and dance and have parties with my other hobbit friends #and watch the sunsets #what a life that would be #the hobbit #tolkien #text

👀👀

ok so this one needs a bit of backstory let me explain ☝ basically I said that I don't like tudor targs for dance era specifically bc I like 2 show time progression w costume design and well if the dance is tudor era that would make asoiaf like. 17th century at the very least n that doesnt fit imo (MY personal preference btw!!!!! idgaf what other people do with their art this is just MY interpretation you do you. @ twitter bitches dont be annoying. again -_-) so anyway this is that concept like what if the dance was tudor era specifically elizabethan bc I wanted to draw rhaenyra in one of those big goofy collars. the others are rhaenys alysanne aelinor penrose (I forgor her name had to look it up lol) and cersei ^_^

(end of year wips)

#Anonymous #end of year wips #my art #alysanne is just kinda there as a middle ground between the conquest n the dance bc it felt weird having a 130 gap #still wanna finish this. maybe I'll start from scratch tho #would it get me artist vaguer accusations again. maybe idk

I like how at the end of Nerdy Prudes Must Die, it's like, "Yay, Grace Chastity has finally joined society!"

Followed IMMEDIATELY by "Oh No, Grace Chastity has finally joined society! 😬😬😬" XDDD

#original #npmd #starkid #grace chastity #nerdy prudes must die #you know grace has probably got a tumblr where she follows like the tradwife tag #good news is she's not protesting co-ed dances anymore! #bad news is she's using them as a hunting ground. WOOPS. XD

At this point we might just well go to Christian’s office begging in our knees for him to hire Charles

I actually agree with Max that two number one drivers should not be on the same team... so I've always been anti Charles and Max as teammates.

But honestly at this point, I'm desperate and Ferrari is NOT the answer to anything but the punchline of every joke. I just can't bear the thought of Charles losing more of his prime years to that colossal joke of a team. My biggest fear is that he is going to let his loyalty to that team get in the way of getting the WDC that he deserves. He's talented enough to rival anyone, so yeah, fuck it:

#charles leclerc #scuderia ferrari (derogatory) #lestappen #i will accept lestappen becoming brocedes if it gets charles his wdc (it won't but that's a sacrifice i'm willing to make) #anon i cannot accurately express to you just how much i DESPISE that clown team #i want to laugh and dance as that team burns to the ground when he leaves them and wins a wdc somewhere else #my number one f1 wish is for charles to get a wdc #my number two f1 wish is to see the utter downfall and destruction of ferrari once our boy is free of them #elle.ask #anon

The way Satya and Niran weren’t really compatible when they first met years back because both of them were stubborn as hell and convinced that their way was the right way - and yet they still got along, the only friend either of them had, because they could see that the other had a good and caring heart. Things got soured when Niran took off and Satya convinced herself he was a traitor - yet she could never fully commit to that feeling.

Then both Satya and Niran go through so many changes getting older, as they see more of the world and realize maybe they actually know a whole lot less than they thought they did. Both of them are forced out of their self-righteous bubbles. They travel down different paths, but they’re walking parallel to each other.

And THEN they meet again when Satya, already questioning Vishkar more than she ever has before, is sent to apprehend Niran and steal his tech “back” for Vishkar. And she sees him, sees how much he’s grown and changed from the spoiled, stubborn boy he was when she knew him, and she herself has grown from the rigid corporate weapon that never dared question Vishkar, and she realizes she really, really does NOT want to steal from Niran, even in spite of Vishkar promising it would use his Biolight to improve the world. And Niran, having firsthand experience with the way Vishkar grooms vulnerable children and makes them feel valued, cared for, useful, is gentle with Satya, not offended in the least that she came after him.

And when they talk a bit, and he begins to realize her loyalty to Vishkar is wavering, he’s secretly delighted - but careful not to push her, because he knows she has to go through change slowly and on her own terms. And Satya realizes as they’re talking how much she’s missed him, even if he’s as ridiculous and dramatic as ever, even in spite of his chaotic ways.

She should hate this man who “stole” from Vishkar and selfishly kept his healing technology from the world, and he should hate this Vishkar goon who’s been sent to steal from him and have him arrested. But neither of them can feel that way about the other. There’s too much history, and they both care too much.

With someone like Niran back in her life to support her, I feel like that will be what finally convinces Satya to take the leap and cut ties with Vishkar. She’s got an example to follow now. She’s got a safety net. She’s got someone to lay out the steps into the terrifying unknown instead of diving in all alone. And Niran, who’s thought about her and missed her all these years while facing the world by himself, couldn’t be happier to have her along for the ride.

#overwatch #lifeweaver #symmetra #satya vaswani #symweaver #(kinda) #niran pruksamanee #I just have so many thoughts about them #Satya thinking she has her life together but starting to question a couple of things #then suddenly she’s reunited with her old college roomie dropout friend who’s become a buff hippie #and her life is thrown into chaos lol #in a good way tho! she needs someone fun and messy but kind and gentle in her life #and tbh Niran could probably benefit from someone a little more grounded too #and they can go dancing together like in that one voice line 😭 and just generally live and have a good time

Martin Lewis, Shadow Dance, 1930. Drypoint and sand ground.

According to Paul McCarron, author of a catalogue raisonné on Lewis's work, "The location depicted appears to be the intersection of Thirty-Fourth Street and Park Avenue, looking west."

Lewis has captured the bright summer sun setting across the Hudson River, its raking light forming long shadows from the figures walking east across Park Avenue. Among Lewis's most masterful prints are those depicting scenes of New York City life. These prints have historical interest, as the imagery captures the architecture and styles of the time, while simultaneously incorporating ephemeral moments. The time of day, the weather, the lighting, the street-level views--each aspect was important and added to the atmosphere of the scene. Lewis's use of shadows and light to create mood, life and movement is most powerful in his New York prints. Shadow Dance is among his most celebrated works, incorporating all of the aspects that make his prints such cherished glimpses into New York's bustling yester-year, while simultaneously capturing the timelessness of city life.
