#they have brought me all the joy

[buriedinmyownfeelings]

Day one of 2024 is ending and I’m officially back on my nonsense

The winner of today’s hyperfixation is…..

The men who helped me find a new love

#yuzuru hanyu #shoma uno #figure skating #team japan #I adore them #I saw them in the olympics and I’ve been a goner ever since #these two own me #I would die for them #they have brought me all the joy #I could watch them skate all day #plus they’re just precious

no, seriously, has no one asked Merthur?

Nope! Not one person! But I’m going to assume this is you asking for Merthur 😌

They are everything.

They are two halves of a whole, they are the sun and the moon, they are souls interwoven.

I have never seen a more romantic finale to a show than this one. There is nothing in this or any other world that could stop them from loving each other. They recognize each other, canonically, in every disguise. They recognize each other on their first meeting.

The fact that the world didn’t disintegrate after death separated them is absurd. You can’t have one without the other.

The sun would scorch the earth without the moon to balance it. And the moon would cast darkness, for it cannot shine without the sun.

Merthur: ♾️/100

Feel free to send me ships to rank :)

#thank you!!! #you have brought me so much joy by asking #I appreciate it #I want to talk about them all the time lol #I could drone on and on about them #but the post would seriously never end #bbc merlin #merlin #merthur #merlin bbc #arthur pendragon #merlin x arthur #arthur x merlin #merlin emrys #asks #ship ranking #mine

- As far back as I can remember, I had a passion for dressing up and playing games of 'Let's Pretend', which are, of course, the basic principles of acting, and if you are lucky enough, you get paid for so doing, hard work though it may be.

#peter cushing #birthday boy #thank you for existing! #cannot believe it's taken me this many years here to do a proper peter cushing birthday gifset #just looking at his face through all these films has brought me great joy #even having to suffer larry's hamlet again was worth it for peter's amazing thighs in those tights (sorry not sorry) #the hardest part was having to watch from beyond the grave which is just completely heartbreaking every time #anyway your honour I love him #and his dedication to his craft #like all the greats he never gives less than his best even when the material is a bit shit #I especially love 1950s peter because he's in some great films and gives great performances #but all peter decades are amazing #my wee gifs

Every description about Nico (especially the canon ones) describing him as “cold” can personally fight me. Nico is jaded, yes, and often closed-off and sometimes stand-offish and defensive but he is not "cold”. He cares SO SO SO MUCH about EVERYONE. He loves and cares with his entire heart constantly and that is a core part of his character. He doesn’t often make public shows of his affection but he takes care to be kind when it matters and doesn’t hide that he does care (usually, the only exception really being him being in the closet, but even then he only hid his crush specifically and not the fact that Percy is important to him). He fine with hugging his friends in front of a crowd and will sit with strangers at a campfire just so they’re not alone. I mean, heck, he’s an extrovert! We know this! He actively seeks out people and gets lonely very quickly and easily! If he can’t talk to living people he will chat with the dead! That’s how much he thrives on being social!

The only time Nico has ever been actively “cold” was the couple of months between TTC and BoTL when he was actively mourning Bianca. Nico is not “cold.” He loves so much and he does show it, just in his own way.

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #analysis #brought to you by: I saw a blurb for TSATS that said something like ''Will melted through Nico's icy heart/cold exterior'' #and it made me want to tear something apart with my teeth because of how Blatantly Incorrect that is #like that is a disservice to both their characters. #a.) Will did not ''fix'' Nico or ''change'' him or anything. He is just a source of joy in Nico's life #TOA even explicitly acknowledges that them dating did not ''fix'' Nico and that Nico is actively getting outside help for his trauma/etc #and b.) Nico is not cold!!! He has never been a cold person!!! there's a reason ''emo'' is short for ''emotional!'' #Nico's character is ENTIRELY DRIVEN BY LOVE AND CARE FOR OTHER PEOPLE #yes he's jaded but he's only jaded in a way of being afraid of letting people into his life because he's afraid to lose them #not that it stops him because it sure does keep happening anyways because SURPRISE. HE LOVES TOO MUCH. #HE LITERALLY CANNOT HELP HIMSELF HE LOVES PEOPLE SO STRONGLY AND SO DEEPLY HE CANNOT STAY JADED ABOUT IT #he just keeps going ''Okay *THIS* time I won't let this person into my life to risk heartbreak- AW FUCK I'VE DONE IT AGAIN'' #SO MUCH of his character is entirely driven by ''I care about people. I dont want them to suffer what i have suffered or suffer at all'' #like really the only times we ever see Nico being actively angry/snappy at people #is like a.) He is either actively being majorly hurt or has just recently been majorly hurt (Bianca's death. Being outed. etc) #b.) Someone is hurting others is going to bring harm to others (Calling out his dad in TLO. Killing Bryce) #or c.) Someone is doubting or calling into question his lived experiences (Basically any scene where people say he's pushing people away) #other than that Nico actually tends to give people way more lenience than necessary. he will put up with a LOT #and he won't even call people out on it or hold a grudge about it (i see you alleged Nico's fatal flaw. you're wrong) #unless it's like. something A Lot Of People Do Often (ex: push him away/exclude him/etc) #at which point he might be like. mildly upset about it but not much more then that. which is just a normal measured response. #anyways Nico's not cold he's just autistic

#I’m probably just hormonal or something stupid #but I’ve been getting really depressed about this blog recently and I’ve been thinking more and more about deleting and starting over #or leaving it as an archive and abandoning it #I get so stressed about posting and nervous about interactions and it’s ruining the experience for me #and I know it’s my fault because I’m just fucked up and in need of so much more therapy than I currently have #but at this point I’m forcing myself to have fun in here #it’s not coming naturally #and I have a really really hard time letting go of things that once brought me joy #so I’m kind of hanging on hoping things will get better but they aren’t #I’m not making any decisions yet #but I am going to start backing up my stuff and crossposting to ao3 so it’s all there too #and I’m sure someone is going to come and tell me this is the wrong reaction #so I’m sorry.

the lovely @kirnet tagged me to curse you all with wips so enjoy >:3 if anyone fancy sharing some goods in the oven pls do!!

Not many of my wips are decent/have hope to be finished so this was hard as hell. They're all self-indulgent so idk if it's interesting, but i tried to pick different stages/process.

portrait of the wizard man himself (i lost count of how many times i've started this shit and i may do it again). Painting this man is infuriating and i don't do him justice.

my fable girl Alice bc i got into fable 3 (thanks hnnny and xeph luv u <3). I'm procrastinating bc of the hair and clothes, i'm a Coward.

kotor cowboy au starring Alek, Phebe and Revan. I still need to do the color etc, but the process is actually Fun!

my most recent (and terribly messy) wip is a knight revalek au just bc i really wanted to paint them and quench my thirst to play ck3. I kept giggling like a fool during the sketch, i'm very excited hshsh

#look at me being vulnerable wow #i complain a lot but really i love creating stuff so much #all these pieces have brought so much joy and taught me a lot too #as i'm writing this i got another idea for a kotor au thingy and my hubris will be my downfall #anyways enjoy folks #my art

I'm supposed to be doing homework but also,

isn't it interesting that there's Jojo's LinkedUniverse and then also the LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse? That LU became a conduit through which to examine and compare and contrast Zelda games with this cast of characters as a base? That was their original intention and the fans went "heck yeah!" and ran with it? The LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse is a monster of the week story where everyone contributes, it has hundreds of authors and storytellers all working together and trading tales. It's a scenario in which Jojo's LinkedUniverse is both the source material and also just one instance in the larger weave. And the LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse lore deviates from (and is much deeper than imo) that of the original comic mainly because of that 1 person building a thing vs hundreds of people building a thing. And isn't that so cool?

But then also with the decline of the fandom I dunno I feel like the LinkedUniverse fandom's LinkedUniverse has been dying. Updates would spawn a burst of creativity and multitudes of branching ideas and what-if scenarios explored through art and fic and discussion, building on it, adding it in to pre-existing stories. I feel that activity around updates has been ticking more towards exploring the comic within the context of the comic itself, and less within the fandom's takes on it (not taking that step forward of "yes, and," and "yes-anding" fanworks as well.) Or not updates in particular, but the state of the fandom is deviating from taking this base and running and sharing to something more controlled and wary? Isolated?

The LinkedUniverse fandom is a phenomenon to me. And it's not something I think should be replicated in regards to other LinkVerse comics but it's also something beautiful and creative? Like, Jojo to a certain extent has or had lost control of the fandom's versions of these characters. She made them and we respect her wishes for them but they no longer belong to her?

The LU fandom's LU is a collectively written LinkVerse and exploration of the loz games, using these characters and relationships as a base (which is why I think people mistag by accident so much.) Sure, you could use the characters directly from the games or make your own LinkVerse to explore the relationships between the loz games. However, within the context of the LU fandom, you get the advantage of the template already being there for the character's personalities, meeting, secrets, and an open ended goal, and these things are understood by a large number of invested people, leading to this huge collaborative project.

This is what's so special about the LinkedUniverse fandom to me. Watching this thing be built and getting to be a contributing piece of it. Maybe it shouldn't have happened. Like, if something like that were to happen to anything I've made I think that'd be really scary. But it's also something incredible?

It's why I have a hard time accepting it when people say they hate the LU fandom. How could you hate the creativity? The shared stories? What's been made? Isn't it incredible? It's another LinkVerse, in a way, one that belongs to many. I hate the instances where people have tried to police the way the characters are written, both within the fandom and towards Jojo's comic, and the issues in communication, and callout posts asjhfksdf Problems in reconciling the LU fandom's LU, Jojo's LU, other LinkVerses, and gen loz. But the phenomenon of the fandom itself, the shared collaborative LU fandom's LinkedUniverse? I think it's such a cool thing. I think it's such a cool way to explore and examine the loz games and craft stories with so many other people.

I really enjoy all the LinkVerses that are around now. I don't think the fandom for LU is something that can be replicated. (or should?) (it's both something odd and a loss of control for Jojo but also a conduit for an incredible amount of creativity and community.)

It's really interesting to me. It's really interesting to witness. Or to have witnessed?

#rays random ramblings #I can't stop thinking about the LU meta #and all the shit's that happened ashjfsdfsdkhgf #but also- wtf it was so cool though?! This thing is so cool #and also like how the pandemic and quarantine likely contributed to how big this thing got as well #I need more people to talk about this with ajgshfsdf but also no #I feel like I should mourn this thing??? that's still alive? or has changed to something less recognizable? #mm... all the shit's that happened makes me sad and also so angry asjhgfddsf terribly conflicted #this thing that brought me so much joy and sparked so much creativity having such a bad rep now or has changed #aa.. #but it's also brought me so much anxiety asjgfsdf #it's interesting I dunno #lu fandom

Hello! I just wanted to say I am SO happy I found your blog. I stumbled on it while looking through the Voss tag on tumblr and your work is a goldmine, from your visual art to your writing. I adore Vanquish, she's a delightful character and I wish I could read even more about her. I adore how you write Voss, I have extremely similar ideas (assumptions and HCs) surrounding him, and it deeply resonated with me to see someone who sees him in the same light I do. I adore your take on Orpheus, I feel for such a major character that so many people actually free, he gets barely any attention at all, even from Larian (his tatts...). Just the way you write Githyankis, the lore, the language... wow you get it, you get the appeal. I am obsessed with how you make use of negative space/bodies merging in so much of your art, it says a thousand words while guiding my eyes through this lovely dance. Your writing has me head over heels. It's thorough, it's deep, it burns, it hurts, it sings, it's exquisite. I had to go bite something while reading Godless Grace. Just thank you for your contribution to this fandom. I hope you keep having fun writing, because it is some of the most meaningful toe curling hypomania inducing stuff I got to read in years.

I have been speechless over this every since I read it yesterday. I just. I want you to know I have read this so many times I think I can recite it by heart.

I want you to know how much this means to me. Truly, honestly, with everything I have, thank you so much, love. It means everything to me when I connect with someone like this with my art and writing. It's all I want in life, really.

And the descriptions you wrote for my writing I just...I'm honestly going to frame this lol. Thank you so much.

As for us sharing the same HCs and how we see and feel Voss - I am absolutely thrilled!!! Especially that how I write him etc resonates with you. Exploring the githyanki, their language and worldbuilding is just some of the best fun and creativity I've had in a long time. I honestly hope I keep going for a long, long time too. The possibilities for them, their world are huge and god, Voss. Voss just means so much to me and he's just clicked with me y'know. I might write him, but he's the one who speaks.

Thank you again, lovely. My messages and ask box are always open to you <333 (also I'm so touched you like Vanquish too and want to know more about her. Keep your eyes peeled :3 )

just played some Case Files with LoV part in it and just thought about a giant project like "every LoV filler ever in ANY media"

like games, manga (including those SMASH!! pages) or irl events (like ONE of LoV seyuu playing as LoV without any real footage of it) and most importantly - Ultra Impact events, but sadly I don't have ALL of them of at least I can't share jp server events that I know at least one happened before global started

I'm not that good with knowing what Ultra Rumble has as something special other than emotes, some phrases or outfits and I don't exactly play it

One's Justice 2 (the one Horikoshi named chapter with Hawks and Twice after) on the other hand has literally tons of interactions from just battle things and recruit talks that depend on your trust of something level to Arcade where defeat and a win give you a mini dialogue and LoV has levels with each other

the only problem with the latter is that I either did level them all up too much already and it would be a pain to lose progress or I'm not really interested in doing already hard to make screenshots one by one FOR EVERY SINGLE LOV FIGHT twice.

But since I've never found actual archive of those things aside from occasional video of Plus Ultra attacks or voicelines without any subtitles for jp vers or again Plus Ultra attacks only for the new characters... that's either worthless or it doesn't matter as much

Still! While 1-A class fillers and stories are so easy to find - literally in the novels or 90% of SMASH!! and Team-Up Missions (and I saw one thing that suspiciosly had LoV in there but still looking through it) while anything semi-canon or at least that can be considered such with LoV is either serves it's purpose in the final arc of the manga now or is actually hard to find since wiki doesn't actually keep up with the official games

maybe it's just an excuse to show little things that Ultra Impact keeps as it's canon for events like Tomura being good at poker and it first was in his "holiday story" and then it appeared in the event much later chronologically with MLA already working with LoV

Also if I remember correctly there are multiple vids with LoV somewhat main point of focus and there are still cool (like that one part of Peace Sign with villains suddenly being there for couple of seconds)

but meh... it's still just 1 am thoughts mostly

#bnha #league of villains #ultra impact #a little bit lazy to even go get some oj2 and ur screenshots #but I do have the case files screenshots and they brought me some joy #Spinner being a Stain fan that actually alerts the true one after the copy doesn't get to keep the figure that it actually existed #Tomura and Dabi were literally chilling while it happened bored even #after that it went to the heroes side and I got bored REALLY quickly #still pissed that LoV side doesn't exist in the novels #at least last time I checked! #oh and I think with all of the volumes in jp you can ACTUALLY make a collection of LoV on the spines of the volumes #it's not every single one here yet #just Twice Tomura and Toga ones #in any case LoV got a lot more recognition in the filler side of things last couple of years #and I totally forgot about Blu-ray stuff there's like one or two stories with LoV in there #shigaraki tomura #toga himiko #dabi #spinner #twice #there should also be mr compress but that's a lot of screenshots already #in any case that one bar post is still in my mind constantly #not art

Hi! I wanted to congratulate you with finishing Season 1 of mdzs and thank you for your art and blog! It's really funny and always brightens my day.

I'm not an artist but I wanted to make something nice for you so please accept this (actually poorly-drawn) fanart and wishes to have inspiration and many plot bunnies for either Season 2 or other art projects, as well as nice summer (whichever form it takes wherever you are)!

Thank you again!

If I can impart anything (besides a good laugh out of readers) it's that the line between artist and non-artist is imaginary. You made this lovely piece of art; you are an artist now B*)

#fanart #thank you so much for this adorable art! I have tucked it into safe keeping in my favourite things folder B*) #I love the two ink pots...very real to how I make these comics (red and black micron ink pens (yes all of this is traditional)) #All this beach art is really making me want to go lie in the sun....take a cat nap....snzzz #I am very happy to have brought joy to your day! I hope to keep up the fun throughout the next two seasons! #I have many fun things planned and am so excited to show them off! #May your day have as much joy as your art brought to me B*) #It is drawn!
