#those glory glory days

[lee-kangin]

Supple and imaginative, that's how the game has to be played at Spurs! Years from now, they'll talk of you. They'll say your names in pubs. They'll say: "That's the team that did the Double." You see the little old lady over there? She remembers it happening.

arthur repealing the ban on magic and sitting merlin and morgana down to figure out who is going to be court sorcerer and ready to mediate a debate but before morgana can even open her mouth, merlin passes to position onto her. arthur and morgana just stare, morgana makes feeble attempts to spark an argument, to instigate merlin to at least fight for it. even arthur is like “…you don’t even want, like, a room or something for your magic work?? none of the perks?? a different position in the court?????” and merlin’s just like “nope! i’m good!” and morgana and arthur exchange a look before arthur asks why. merlin’s answer is that his position, where he belongs, is at arthur’s side. besides. morgana deserves it. she was snubbed from becoming queen so it was only fair.

#in the end merlin continues to serve at arthur’s side as his queen #teehee #just thinking about the implications of arthur being surrounded by those who love power and glory #his father who only looked on him with pride when he conquered an enemy #his sister who went wayward for a bit because of her desire to sit on the throne and used her magic in cruel ways to get there #his uncle who sided with morgana and manipulated arthur to try and gain power through morgana’s coup #versus merlin who was proud of arthur for being arthur #who didn’t need arthur to vanquish enemies to look at him as if he hung the stars and the moon in the night sky #merlin who despite having the power of the gods - who could bend nature to do his bidding - kneeled before arthur and cleaned his boots #merlin’s who even in the end turned down power and recognition for all he had done just to stay at arthur’s side and continue serving him #queen merlin #king arthur #redeemed morgana #merthur #court sorceress morgana #IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THEM FOR DAYS #HELP MEFJZBAKAKNSNCA #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #morgana pendragon

You know what, I am unbothered by disputes in TXF fandom because I have been here since almost time immemorial, longer than a goodly number of you have been alive, and I will be here at the end of time when the universe cools, listening to “Walking After You” as everything goes stiff and cold.  I have forgotten more thoughts about Mulder and Scully and the rest of the crew than most people have even had, and I have written and written and written until these blorbos are engraved in my bones.  Look for me in the deep places; find me at the wellspring writing with water on slates.  Listen for me on the wind, whispering “fuuuuuuuck chris carterrrrrrrrr.”

#i didn't know about drama until yesterday but also #like the coelacanth i will be here even when you think i'm extinct #i will be lurking in the deep waters #sipping at the delicate brew of scullysflannel's headcanons #it helps that as a queer white middleclass femme person i am not facing a lot of opposition to my general being #that would definitely make staying in fandom more difficult #fandom #i am not even involved in this drama as far as i know #also i am no longer relevant #the glory days of leiascully are gone #probably because i've only written a few ficlets in the past few years #in my defense they've been exhausting years #i would like to write more #once upon a time i was on rec lists because i was writing so much no one could escape me #those were halcyon days

I’ve been sitting on all these whips for a while and finally decided to just post em!! Various doodles without context of various wof characters <3 If you would like some context you can find some under the cut

A doodle of Sora dealing with the grief of loosing Crane! Normal Girl Hours

A request from a friend of young Prince Arctic! Made him look like an Arctic Turn

An allwing! Just a classic beast, we should all make Allwing ocs again

A sketch of Sundew inspired by @/icecreamsodaaaaa ‘s way of drawing her! She thinking about Willow

The DOD catching a rest! Inspired by some convo with friends about how the DoD grew up together and probably appreciated sleeping in the same cave again once they escaped from the mountain

A mini-ref of Sora that was never finished … one day I will make that AMV about her …

Speaking of AMV’s ! Hello unfinished Moray Animation Ref Concept! I wanna do an AMV about her & Orca … I still want to do it someday but now is not the time

An unfinished mini Moon & Qibli comic! Just them being sillay and friends, liked this dumb lil doodle well-enough though

#so sad so many of these are unfinished .. I do really wanna make those amvs some day . all of these wips are 6 months to a year old #Wof #Sora wof #Prince Arctic #Allwing #Sundew Wof #Dragonets of Destiny #Moray Wof #Qibli #Moonwatcher #Sora #Tsunami #Clay #Sunny #Starflight #Glory #tideart #designin #doodle

Yes that monologue of Dracula's war-filled, bloody history was riveting and terrifying but I am suddenly reminded that this is the guy who's gonna end up fleeing England in a bad straw hat while a schoolteacher tracks his mind and thwarts him with the power of train schedules.

#dracula daily #dracula daily spoilers #dracula spoilers #dracula is a story about a jock who peaked in his college study abroad years and desperately wants to relive those glory days

i think the tl gets this across great but for full context, the saying kuukou’s using here is transliterally ‘the buddha’s face thrice over’ which is an analogy used to say that even the most gentle of people will lose their cool when repeatedly subjected to injustices

but kuukou follows this up with ‘i’ll laugh it off no matter how many times’ which is him telling us no matter what life throws at him he’ll be positive thru it all and face with a smile

#vee queued to fill the void #hypanispoilers #and hELP I LOVE HIM WITH THE PASSION OF A MILLION SUNS #BUT ITS STILL NOT BRIGHTER THAN HE IS OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #THE YOUNG GUN OF THE SUN IN ALL HIS GLORY ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ #they brought back the writer of kaigen and he tweeted out those lyrics wouldn’t have happened without his experience we gave him #how we all raised our hands an prayed for collective guidance during bat’s 8th live day two #kuukou and bat’s last verse in next stage where they go #‘this is only the preface even if there’s ups and downs we’ll be okay gasshou bad ass temple’ #is afro-san directly referencing that live experience and thanks afro-san i’m crying over bat and the 8th live all over again 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #no matter what happens we’re in this together with bat i love a family who wants to walk down hardships with you we’re all family 😭😭😭

In light of “Time Bastard”, the reason Ted got so hilariously invested in Workin’ Boys: A New Musical is because university was the last time he was truly happy and even in love and not just the miserable, bitter sleazeball with no friends or romantic prospects. The closest thing he has to a relationship now is with an affair with married woman which is compromised by her unwillingness to leave her neglectful husband and his fear of vulnerability and intimacy making him pretend his feelings for her are entirely sexual - a fear that, like everything about his current personality, arose from his unhealthy response to losing his best friend and first love.

But when Hidgens gave him that pitch? He let himself imagine Jenny calling him to talk like they used to. Just for a moment, he let himself remember. I’m crying.

#look at his face when hidgens says ‘but those glory days are gone for good… or are they?’ after watching ‘time bastard’ #ted spankoffski #hatchetfield #nightmare time #the guy who didn't like musicals #tgwdlm #time bastard

Humanformers IDW1 Arcee and Galvatron were child stars

#you know because they were gladiators in canon #objectified for entertainments #not allowed freedom #not getting to mingle with children their age #always at the whims of adults #galvatron internalized all the wrong things and now keep trying to get the glory of those days back #but managing himself now #doesn't care who he has to step on #arcee was always criticized for being weird and rude (austistic) #she was happy to fade into obscurity #but her transition made it to the news and suddenly everyone had an opinion on that #coupled with her doctor being the fucking worst she had an atrocious time so you can imagine how she reacted to the public (justified) #this may or may not be inspired by oshi no ko #quetzal rambles tf

one of my all time favorite vods is a quackity stream from like mid december 2020. it started with dream smp stuff i think it had to do a bit with lore and butcher army stuff but then there was a small jackbox lobby? it was like q, karl, ranboo, tubbo, and techno. and i know some people don’t like jackbox vods but the good ones are some of my favorite content ever and just those were the days man that stream was top tier

#that jackbox was SO GOOD and i remember seeing the entire stream live and just. yeah #those were my mcyt glory days man right when i was first getting into ranboo and i was actually a huge karl + quackity fan #just chillin in cedar rapids… those quackity streams… bsck when big q used to stream every night and that was a big reason i watched him #TAKE ME BACK #rowe rambles

[virion-everyday-until-alt]

Today's Virion is more progress on the summer alt! Working out the flowers I'm gonna thread through the rest of the outfit :)

#fe virion #fire emblem heroes #feh #give virion an alt <3 #virion day 50 #it doesn't look like much but i did an excessive amount of background work today #that will hopefully show through when I Finish Him finish him #i think i'm taking this a little too seriously now but i'm in too deep and i want to give him a design that fits him while also #meshing well with other feh summer alts while ALSO taking into account awakening design elements except #this man has got ONE EXPRESSION SKETCH in the awakening art book i genuinely got more out of the base archer outfit notes than his own bit #i read through all his support conversations and wiki to clear up my own blindspots about him and took a bunch of notes on receipt paper bc #my memory is shoddy #anyway now that i've written an essay in the notes. those flowers are hibiscus and lavender and morning glory!! #i've been having a lot of thoughts about where to go with him and i'm debating over whether or not to make a post about them

[fellhellion]

I (Miguel and Miles enjoyer) deserve better than this (youtube essays pontificating that Miguel is right actually)

#the film is very VERY clearly in Miles’s corner even if it wants you to be empathetic to the reasons WHY miguel has come to think as he has #(which I personally am) #SHAKESA YOU!!!! GLORY TO THOSE WHO DEFY THEIR FATE BRO! #tunes talks spiderverse #tunes talks critical #<- sorry for complaining about other people one day I will throw my hat in the ring and ALSO be an annoying yt essayist </3

update on inquisition: solas broke up with my inquisitor, so she swore at him and then stomped off to lure and fight a high dragon while her companions complained the whole time

#me.txt #i play dai #i play games #it's so... idk. we barely DID anything #it felt like one kiss and then crestwood and then break up #yeah okay #but it is implied that they got into bed... #also so boring of dai to have the literal elven trickster god not be bisexual #if there were any god that SHOULD be bi it should be the elven trickster god. every part of that implies bi #anyway. #... i had an entire ramble about how the elves like abelas reacted weirdly to the elven inquisitor asking for their knowledge and help #because lots of people if they saw their civilization 'diminished' would want to reclaim glory days instead of just tossing them aside #and Sera is super weird. like as chinese diaspora we have lots of reasons to dislike mainland china but being 'too chinese' isn't one #but i actually had a talk with it with my friend and did some further thinking #and ... abelas (and solas) is just one of those boomers who call millennials snowflakes #and sera is one of those self-hating asians that'll post a self-hating rant on a city elf FB group and get told to get therapy #which makes is hilarious that these are the elves we see in inquisition #velanna and merill and zevran and fenris were so normal in comparison

Please share all your Jopping thoughts! I am now exceedingly curious.

i dont remember if i kept this in my maximalist kpop post or not but i had wrote a whole section about how the concept of superm as a group is maximalism and everything that they did is probably the purest form of kpop performance spectacle that we've seen in the last several years. kpop has always been about taking random americanisms and extrapolating them into a weird and altogether new conglomorate of cultural hybrid bizarreness and superm ramps that up to 100 (pun intended). the disparate visual western touchstones (cars/motorsports, cowboys, big tech + machines, superheros, military, collegiate gear) all crammed together with choreo that goes extremely hard for no reason, stupid and cringe (complimentary) english lyrics, completely over the top studio set pieces, and all done by a group that's literally assembled from defining groups of the last three generations, from the company that pioneered the industry? how can it be anything except the pinnacle of modern kpop? people can make the arguments all they want that sm was attempting to pander to the west in the vein of bts, but what those people miss is that superm was never totally westernized in the way that bts has been in their recent endeavours. superm maintains a sense of koreanness throughout not only their music (promoting i can't stand the rain on the ellen show along with jopping, none of their title songs being fully in english) but also visually with tiger inside, which has become their most popular song second to jopping. sm was very careful not to sacrifice the threads of what makes kpop korean with superm, and that's what makes everything about what they were doing work.

#kpop questions #superm w #superm #the big mistake that hybe and bts has made is that they think that kpop is popular because it's like western pop #and so they have tailored their groups to match that assumption #but this is not what makes kpop popular with the people who are longtime fans or who engage with a lot of different groups #it is the differences the synthesis the cultural hybridity that makes it popular #it is a unique type of pop music and to strip it of those factors is to strip it of character #like superm is extremely transparently a manufactured group and that's what makes them work #like obvs the song with the lyric 'cuz when we jumping and popping with jopping' is not come heartfelt ''authentic'' labour of love #and that's the point!! they are all about the most spectacle all the time to entertain you!! #no pretending to be fake deep we are all here for the glory of the game (watching a group of kpop's best dancing their little hearts out) #real fakery >>>>>>>>>>>>> authenticity every day bc fakery is DESIGNED TO BE THE BEST IT CAN AT THAT SPECIFIC THING #if you were to modernize/'4th gen-ify' a bg track from 2011-15 jopping is exactly what it would be like. it is the natural evolution #i realize this is less about jopping and more just about superm in general. but i think jopping is the perfect intro #and their really impressive work is with superone and their 2020 cbs #absolutely inspired of sm to go from insane americanisms (100) to traditional koreanisms (tiger inside) #and then right back to DIFFERENT insane americanisms (one) in the span of a little over a MONTH #anyways yes i WILL take deep artistic meaning from superm and you cant stop me!! #also: the superone promo photos for one/the collegiate styling + the accompanying merch are some of THE best kpop merch of all time #literally those photos are incredible and that athleisure collegiate combo is soooooo inspired #also they have a stellar discography. its so fucking good #text #answers
