Lady Crowley, inspired by Aphrodite of Knidos.

She might as well have been the one who posed for Praxiteles.

"We can't kill this woman, she's astounding" -- I couldn't agree more with what was said of Sylvia by Mr Hayter himself after the revelation that they were going to kill Superion off. Wow.

Then again, this ties in with one of the many things I eventually want to talk about concerning what the show did or didn't do with its older cast and it's very interesting to see that... The older characters really were in peril and escaped death thanks to decisions made in the writers' room later on, mostly because they liked the actors so much. Narratively speaking, within the genre, it was very likely we'd see them go and these comments by one of the writers confirm it.

Good thing the show really didn't care about sticking to the conventional!

#i'm listening to the interview now. i wasn't going to but i got curious #kind of surprised anyone would think vincent's mother tattoo would be about superion rather than -- you know -- his actual mother #(or the theotokos of course. there's a virgin mary in there too if i recall the design) #a super traditional tattoo even the toughest tough men out there irl have but lol i suppose shippers will bend things to suit their purpose #anyway. i'm kind of shocked they were going to kill suzanne for real lol #i said this once and i'll say it again but they would have lost me if they had. i was ready to drop the show then and there i swear #i really need to get around to this essay. it's been on standby for months. months! but there are others to write before the adults one #and then there's fic and aaaaaaahhhhhh life is too short!!! #silly blabbering

[the---hermit]

Definitely not me delaying turing off my phone and going to bed to research things for what might be my next tattoos.

#and the funny thing is i have more or less the rest of my sleeve planned but the two main pieces i am thunking for that are #not what i feel like i need rn #idk how to explain it it happened to me before to know i wanted something but it was not the right moment #i just know #for the past months i have had this feeling of i want a tattoo mmbut those two are not what i need right now and #i felt like what i would need right now is something with leaves don't ask me why i feel like botanical pieces are what i need on my body rn #and then last week in class i have this flash of the placement and what to get and how and i have been thinking about it so hard #so now i am looking furhter into the symbolism of the herbs i was thinking about getting #so than i can amrinate this for months and see if it's really what i want #i think it would turn out to be pretty cool and let me tell you i was already vibing with the plants as a gardener and as a tea maker #but after looking in the symbolism i am vibing even more #cris speaks #the---hermit

byan deciding they want another lip piercing and you unexpectedly walk in on them about to stab a needle through said lip... wdyd

#do u risk getting stabbed urself to stop them... #or do u let them do their thing bc ur betting this isn't the first time they've pierced themself like an idiot #(or bc u know them well enough to be aware that this isn't the first time they've done this) #I feel like this is more alarming than walking on on them giving themself a stick & poke tattoo tbh #but they're just as fucking casual about it. just nod at u like 'hey' before getting right back to it #like it's the more normal fucking thing in the world smh #they really shouldn't be left unsupervised honestly 😔 #okok I'm sorry I'm done. fr this time. #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ shitpost ⋮ bold of you to assume i've reached peak dumbass. #needle cw

It’s a crazy situation because obviously he needs tenderness. He needs physical contact from someone that isn’t a demon throwing his ass across the room. But I just KNOW he’d be so fucking weird abt it

Like you put a hand on his arm and he goes so stiff he feels like a corpse. Might even get snippy abt it. Chapter 2 Yumi briefly touches his hand (albeit on purpose)(with the intent to get a reaction)(staring) and he is just clenching his jaw like a bear trap. Also staring.

I just. Every time someone tries to get closer to this man in ANY way, he barks and puffs up or he lies and misdirects, but something about physical touch would cause him to be so so unwell. It’s too honest. He wouldn’t even be able to do the classic Raymond ‘get the fuck away from me wait what you’re leaving 🥺’ bit. He’d just retreat into himself. Might even confuse the feelings of danger, of his racing heartbeat and sickened stomach, as anger in the moment. But he fucking knows better!! He does!!! He’s not angry he’s terrified. Digging into that deeper he’ll find what he’s scared of is exactly what he wants: someone to see and know him completely

#mr delver i wont u… #girls I just woke up and it’s bad #I don’t think I’ll ever get over end6 for the absolute balls to the wall characterization dump like THANK YOU BRIAN FOR SHOWING US A #LITTE MORE OF HOW FUCKED UP YOUR BOY IS #like god we didn’t know anythang about that thang before #not talking abt the mom thing or the tattoo thing I’m talking about #1. the RIDICULOUS conversation after Rebecca releases the demon #2. the way he completely absolves her of any blame not 2 seconds later to his fucking!! demon!!! mom!!!!

[kirkwallsquad]

finally read parts of the dm's that person on insta sent me after i made that post abt feeling unsafe around hp fans as a trans person

and she was all "i have hp themed tattoos on my arm and think it's such a shame to be regarded as unsafe because of that"

lmao? cry about it?

#wah wah i want to continue doing things that feel comfortable for me and never confront any of my actions wah wah #wah wah i want to be shielded from negative consequences and never think critically about anything ever wah wah #like do whatever you want girl im not telling you to get rid of your tattoos #but now i know what kind of person you are! and it's a person i dont wanna be around <3 #also i cannot emphasize enough that i have never before spoken to this person HSKDJFHGKSJDHFG #like they did a cosplay project w friends of mine but idk them at ALL i just follow them bcs of that #well. followED. byeeeee #max.txt

[todayisafridaynight]

if theres one thing that differentiates mine and sawashiro its that sawashiro is JUST a LITTLE silly. on a microscopic level he is SUPER MINUTELY goofy

#snap chats #LET ME EXPLAIN PUT THE TOMATO DOWN #Evidently rggjo is Blatantly more silly so to speak. from a comparative standpoint #but y7jo has a modicum of that i prommy #like mine just aint silly like that... he's very serious about everything its hard for me to think of him being a goof #the closest he was to being goofy was before slappin haruka with that grin ☠️ #i would never forget his story time with daigo in rggo dont you ever accuse me of that again im just saying ITSA RARE OCCURRENCE #it's hard to imagine sawashiro being a goof too but there's like. VERY rare scenarios where it is possible if we try hard enough #case in point. bullying ichi BYE-- #ACCIDENTALLY PROVING MY POINT WITH THAT TATTOO COMIC I DID damn maybe i do know what im talking about sometimes #like 3/4 times jo smiles it's with ichi. a wholesome sentiment if not for the context of each time LMAO #he gets his kicks from bullying ichi and thats horrible but hilarious at the same time #first time its before he slugs him and mitsu for the money then theres their lil reunion in chap 2 #and a PERSONAL favorite of mine his lil smirk he does before he grabs the sword off the wall. like hes a lil goofy i sense it #that smirk still makes me laugh like bro shut up LMAO hes about to beat my ass and im gonna be mad about it #like things mine does are surely silly and goofy dont get me wrong. his comedys unintentional sawashiro's trying JUST a lil me thinks #a classic maneuver from a depressed mfer this shouldnt be surprising in retrospect #i say that as if mine dont got issues....... lol... #ok im done rambling where the fuck am i gon with this post. bye

thinking about him (the gnc man i met at a tattoo shop in my dream who decided to take a taxi to south dakota to find himself after one night of knowing me)

#peach stuff #dreams #he also had memory issues ? he stayed the night at my house because ?? i actually don’t know but i did know he had memory issues #and i was scared he would forget me by morning because i had stuff to do and couldn’t immediately see him and reassure him after he woke up #because i had stuff to do. but when i finally got the chance to see him he told me he remembered meeting me #and i was so happy that i ran up to hug him and he hugged me back and the. he started telling me that #now that he’s confident he can remember things he wanted to go out and live on his own #and i was thinking . like the city 30 min away from where i live where i found him at the tattoo shop #but then he was like ‘you know im really glad i got the chance to meet you before i take that taxi to south dakota’ #and i actually pushed him away (we were still hugging during this conversation) and i was like HUH⁉️⁉️⁉️ #first of all WHY would you take a TAXI to SOUTH DAKOTA that is SO MUCH MONEY #(he had been robbed before i met him so he didn’t have a phone or cash but he did apparently have a card with a lot of money on it somehow) #and also SOUTH DAKOTA⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ WHAT⁉️⁉️ #i said these things to him but he was adamant about leaving literally that day #so to be supportive i helped him get ready and then a friend of mine came in and started doing his makeup because he expressed curiosity #and then he looked BEAUTIFUL and SO HAPPY in the makeup and after my friend left he kept on retouching his makeup and smiling at himself #in the mirror while i got ready to see him off #anyway i miss him. gnc king i hope your life is wonderful in south dakota i hope you remember me

does anyone know how to do this. does anyone know how to do anything?

#bluebird.txt #life is life no matter what huh #do you get better at Life with time? does anyone ever know what they're doing? ever? #does anyone ever figure it all out #is there only One Thing TO figure out? #at least i've gotten better at realizing sooner that no one's actually gonna kill me if i fuck up but #man not by much soemtimes i feel like my whole life will crumble if i make one misstep in the wrong thing #i will be fine though #even if no one knows what the fuck they're doing #millions and billions of people before me have not known what they were doing and lived #i'm not dead yet so i guess i'll be alright #at this point i should get that tattooed on my body somewhere #might delete this #ignore it

#I’ve been thinking about something a friend said in regards to the lyrics for ‘Angry’ #because I was having a hard time putting my finger on why I disliked it other than the drumming #the ‘We haven't made love and I wanna know why’ bit played #and she said ‘that’s what you get for dating a 36 year old when you’re 80’ #(she also pointed out that the vocals don’t even sound like mick. which is true. the song is grossly over produced) #my point isn’t so much this specific thing with mick #as that he’s been writing songs along these lines for 60 years #and at this point it feels like we’re getting 100% misogyny and 5% creativity #it’s all bitching and moaning about being wronged by a woman and denied access to her body #I don’t really care if they’re ‘problematic’ in their lyrics to some extent or another. they’re old rockstars #but there’s nothing special or creative or even metaphorical going on #it’s like a lazy version of ‘bitch’ #I’m kind of concerned if this is the pre-released single. that it’s the best they’ve got. because it isn’t very good #((also heard mick mention in an interview not long ago that Tattoo You is one of his favorite albums. which makes the decision to trash #everything recorded before 2019 especially dumb. because that album was cobbled together from old songs and recordings. many made way before #1981. they’re almost acting like this is a change on the level of darryl. which is blatantly dumb. there isn’t 30 years left. in terms of #time or creative output))

as promised, the besties in the same post!

#vb ocs #original character #what can you deduce abt their characters based on the names they used on their pictures? 🤔 #to elaborate: no one calls sasha his legal name yet he chose to put that on it. while teddy is called other names including his legal name #sometimes yet uses it on an official photo #anyway what can i tell you abt them quickly? well theyve been best friends ever since kindergarten #(does not mean they went to the same kindergarten jdjdjfk teddy went to a private one while sasha went to a normal public one) #you know SOME things abt sasha already. but anyway he normally wears more band tees and ripped stuff but he had to be #a bit more tidy for the pictures lol (covering for myself here bc i havent designed his tattoos yet LMAO) #omg i had so much trouble with teddy i had to start over multiple times before i saw the image in my head on the tablet ⚰️ #anyway hes like you look at him and you cant trust him hes like. smug and mischevious but if you get close to him hes ride or die #and hes flirty bc yes hes into casual relationships but also as a weapon and defense #oh also his family is extremely rich. new money to be specific. his family is a sailing family #thats it for now lol i keep saying this but one day ill write their profiles..... #im really happy with how teddys mouth came out hdkfkdjd idk why but i rlly like the shape not to get too omakehuinen here ⚰️ #OH LAST THING dont be fooled by these images sasha is 198 cm and teddy is 176 cm. teddy is the libero of their team #he gets to feel unique with his different colored jersey 😌

[sarcasmic-skies]

literally spent 10 straight hours yesterday sat in the same spot rereading & annotating fight club over & over again bc i only had annotations in my original copy i’ve had for close to 10 yrs and my other 2 copies felt empty without any. i annotated with highlighter in my original copy every time i read it but the ink faded so much over the years you couldn’t see the annotations anymore. so yesterday i sat in the same spot and reread and annotated the exact same words and sentences and passages and chapters and book three times over with the same highlighter for 10 hours. a copy of a copy of a copy

and this is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time and nothing is static everything is falling apart and oh tyler please deliver me from clever art and HELLO! i am so ZEN. and the three ways to make napalm: and people are always asking did i know about tyler durden and i’m writing a little haiku in my head and this is a chemical burn and it will hurt worse than you’ve ever been burned and tyler is full of useful information and you wake up at jfk and i sniff the gasoline on my hands and now remember that was three times you promised and the demo goes on and the penguin said slide and we’ve just lost cabin pressure and only a hummingbird could have caught tyler at work and i fell down i did this to myself and my boss is wearing his gray tie so today must be a tuesday and paraffin has never ever worked for me and i am joe’s boiling point and a criminal is a criminal is a criminal and we’re down to our last ten minutes and tyler’s words coming out of my mouth i used to be such a nice person and life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip and yes there was a book and i know this because tyler knows this and i remember everything and

#didnt have to reference the book once for that entire mess of quotes. i remember everything (lol) #and before u come for me YES it is ‘i am joe’s ___’ in the book not jack’s #and to top it off after doing all of that I DID NOT SLEEP!!!!! bc my insomnia said fuck you #my original copy is a 1997 first edition owl books softcover paperback (movie tie-in cover) #if anything happened to it i would be beside myself. ironic i know #i eventually want to have every edition of the book. have one of each cover #fight club #chuck palahniuk my fucking beloved #tyler durden #<- my namesake btw. if u even care #dont get me wrong i had a blast doing it but it was also an out of body experience lol #i read it all the way thru at least five times. halfway thru at least four times. so yeah. #fight club is my favorite book for a reason and if that makes u upset u prob didnt realize the whole thing is satire. chuck writes satire. #i will never shut up abt fight club #i have 2 fight club tattoos & counting lol #what ty’s reading #ty is reading fight club on infinite loop #chuck palahniuk #ty posts!!!!!! #ty posts #dont take this post seriously i just saw the irony in what i was doing and then boom. stream of consciousness brought to u by my insomnia

LIFE ADVICE FOR YOUR TEENS AND EARLY TWENTIES (and probably beyond but I haven't made it much farther than that so far):

GO OUT BY YOURSELF

LEARN HOW TO NAVIGATE PUBLIC TRANSIT WITH NO SMART PHONE

TAKE ONLINE CLASSES

MAKE PEACE WITH DISAPPOINTING YOUR PARENTS

GO TO THERAPY IF POSSIBLE

FOLLOW AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEW TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS

EAT A MEAL BEFORE DRINKING

DON'T MIX DRUGS

IT'S HARD TO BE YOURSELF WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW YOURSELF SO JUST KEEP TRYING NEW THINGS

THROW EVERYTHING AT THE WALL LIKE SPAGHETTI TO SEE WHAT STICKS

YOU WILL DISCOVER YOURSELF THE SAME WAY YOU DISCOVER NEW COFFEE SHOPS AND NEW BANDS

YOU WILL GET THERE

DON'T MAKE A LONG POST IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE YOUR VOICE WILL START TO HURT FROM SHOUTING

Family is clearly just prolonging my and my mother's misery by forcing me to text her on special occasions and send her gifts, which is giving her false hope that her only boxing bag might come back and endure whatever she decides to take out on it again.

#if it were up to me I'd block her number and never even hear anything about her again #she made her choices and I swear to god i tried to be a good daughter and take them #when university told me that we should try to stay in contact with people in cults because it's much harder to get out without #a support system i tried to take it because of that if nothing else. i told myself that I'll take it. that I'll take it because maybe one #day she'll want out. i tried to. #maybe I didn't try hard enough I don't know. and if that's right then the universe can add it to my endless list of sins which makes me #not a human. the universe can add it to the list of reasons for why I'll never lead a happy life and why I'm better off dead. #that's what I've been told when i was growing up after all. #i tried to but it's just. it's her life or mine. and if she were mean just to me I'd let her take it. if it were just me I'd let her say all #those horrible things to me and I'd stand there and let her punch my limbs until they go numb like i always have #and I'd let her tell me that nobody will ever love me and I'd let her do her invasive checks of my body and I'd let her have those #episodes of searching through my entire room and breaking into my accounts to see if I'm saying anything about her ever to anyone #and calling my doctors and telling them that I'm crazy and not to believe a word i say. #I'd let her do all that as i always have. but she's horrible to my friends and horrible to strangers and it's just too much for me. #I don't want to hear that my friend killed herself in vain and I don't want to hear that you'll never use her name because #'it was just a year before he offed himself so it doesn't count.' #I don't want to hear any of it. i don't want to hear that all my friends hate me and I don't want to hear how horrible they are #and i don't want to hear slurs you use against them and I don't want to hear you say those things about random people you #meet on the street and i don't want to hear you passing moral judgement on strangers because of the way they do their hair #or the way they dress or the way they were born. #I don't want to hear that all my friends with tattoos are rotten and that cancer awaits them as punishment #I don't want to hear any of it. I'm sick of it. i don't want to hear 'youre a censoring bootlicker' whenever i say that i would like you #to tone it down. 'its my opinion. i have a right to free speech.' free speech is not saying that my friends should die.
