Simon petrikov coping FAIL compilation

#HNNNGGGNNN!! SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT EPISODE 2…… #my art #adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #Fionna and cake spoilers #<- kind of??? maybe not really #I’m so glad ep 2 gave us some insight to that scene in obsidian #it’s such a shift from Simon saying he’d literally rather DIE than be the ice king again #BUT IT MAKES SENSE! #nostalgia can twist your perception of the past #and then mix that in with a metric ton of trauma ! #‘things were simpler back then’ #SIMON 99.5% OF YOUR LIFE AS ICE KING WAS AWFUL…. #I mean in the later seasons he does gradually gain acceptance and fit in with the others #but that just makes the CURRENT simons situation so much sadder it’s like he’s back at square 1 in some ways #WILL THE ISOLATION EVER END? #OK IM DONE RANTING IN THE TAGS

Horror isekai where Perceiving the Weird Eldritch Thing gets you catapulted into a nightmare labyrinth of puzzle-solving.

I.e Those Who Perceive The Hunt of the Goblin King Must Partake In The Labyrinth and Can Only Be Freed If They Complete It In One Day and One Night. By Fae Law. For Reasons.

But the definition of “perception” clearly needs to be updated because some normal guy simply films the Hunt of the Goblin King Behind Arby’s, and puts it on Facebook -

No, not instagram or TikTok, it’s important that it be Facebook -

Because the rules are pretty clear, “the rules are the rules” as is carved ominously in elvish runes above the grim gate, and the Contract is Sealed. and so therefore the guy and 25 of their most random real-life acquaintances must run the gauntlet together. It’s Some Guy, their immediate neighbors, their first partner’s mom, their friends from hobby Facebook groups (oh this poor guy and their hobbies; the elderly birdwatchers from Facebook and the young up-and-coming drag king community), their random teen kid niece, college friends, a dog who also watched the video, a couple consisting of a woman who is the guy’s Facebook friend and showed her husband the video, and the husband doesn’t even know Some Guy, so he’s in the labyrinth and absolutely furious about being forced to be involved, and they proceed to break up over the course of the puzzle.

It’s important that the narrative keeps trying to be a sexy dark horror isekai! but within this the comedic reality of Catherine, 52, the guy’s horse-riding instructor, being passionately involved in escape-room-style puzzle solving and grappling with minor goblins. They are in fact speedrunning the gauntlet.

The Goblin King finally has to say: all right, actually, I only really set all this up to fuck with one (1) guy at a time, thanks for your willingness to participate, but I think all 25 of you can consider the gauntlet fully run.

And the group would be quite hurt by that. The rules are the rules. We have a contract, actually. Let Catherine cook.

#this feels extremely like… 2015 tumblr to me #but it also feels a sort of comforting honesty in this time #thank you for giving me this safe space #this plot idea just feels like some kind of nostalgia . to me. #writing it out I felt like I knew it was unfashionably written AND YET #I was thinking last night about how Stranger Things works quite #well because it’s set in the 80s… it is load-bearing that it be set in the 80s… it’s plot relevant and worldbuilding #well for some reason this plot has to be set pre-pandemic post-impact-text-memes

fake ep idea + doodles

#i was thinking abt how funny it would be if there was a shiftythrifting blog equivalent in lmk. and half the stuff on there is #submitted by wukong. so i thought a yard sale ep would be funny lol #basically the hoard becomes problem one way or another and wukong figures the best way to get rid of his junk is thru ebay #somehow ends up selling world ending artifacts to random megapolis citizens so mk mei and redson have to scramble to find em #purposely meant to mirror the weekly shenanigans s1-2 style eps that are really goofy (dumpling ep noodles ep etc) #but it gets darker and darker because MK is not fucking ok after that whole thing with the scroll and some unchecked identity crisis #for me id want him to kind of. freak tf out because they have to find MULTIPLE chaos inducing items that could end the world while trying t #be sillygoofy and funny about it. so hes trying to mask his panic with “ohhh guys its just like the good ol days ^_^ remember that ^_^” #ESPECIALLY after that whole thing with the ink scroll. also mei doesnt buy any of it and is worried for him the whole time #as for the B plot it could be monkey king also trying to be very relaxed abt selling 4000 years worth of stuff and tang getting all huffy #like “these are priceless artifacts that could help us learn so much about the past!! wtf man!!!” #and maybe it reveals smth like wukong not wanting to hold on anymore bc his past weighs him down. and theyre all reminders #i think azure mentioned that wukong is sentimental (idk if that was genuine or lying to mk) so that could be touched on to #so basically. the theme would be some sort of conversation abt nostalgia. i think. im not a writer so its very fuzzy in my head #if anyone wants to add on or include their own spin on it feel free. also included undercut redson as a treat somewhere in there #myart #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk red son #lmk mei #lmk MK #lmk xiaotian #lmk xiaojiao #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #doodles #lmk tang #lmk pigsy #lmk traffic light trio #yard sale ep

Odysseus' reintegration into the world bound by mortal limitations foregrounds both his age and the distance he has traveled. The shipwrecked sailor who manages to crawl ashore naked on Scheria, bereft of companions, possessions, any token of identity — of all but the bare ember of vitality (cf. 5.488-90 — a lonely spark in a pile of ashes) — meets the young Nausikaa, whose life (like that of Telemachus) is just opening to the possibilities before her. The scene in which Odysseus, awakened by sounds that evoke in him fears of hostile men, faces instead a group of teenage girls playing ball, is both comic and poignant as it measures the difference between their expectations and stages of experience. Later, as he is challenged to compete in an athletic contest, Odysseus acknowledges the toll that age and journeying inevitably take. This is not, then, the epic of the beautiful death (one way to read the Iliad (e.g., see Vernant 1991: 50-74)) but the epic of timeworn, embraceable life.

John Miles Foley, A Companion to Ancient Epic, 2005.

#The Odyssey #Odysseus #John Miles Foley #A Companion to Ancient Epic #quotations #analyses #bestie... the way this chapter changed my life #every page of the Odyssey already makes me sob. be it w joy or despair or some other ineffable poignant nostalgia #but Foley gave me the words to say how & why #tattoo is not enough. gonna get timeworn embraceable life carved into my bones #rhapsody 5 of the Odyssey is actually something that can be so personal #he's a middle-aged war hero w severe trauma! #& crashes out naked & filthy into a gaggle of teenage girls bc he thinks he hears soldiers surrounding him! fuck!!! #strategist & war hero of epic fame colliding into the world of a fairytale princess centuries before fairytales even existed #the scene is so pathetic (in the sense of moving/pitiable). so sweet. so funny. & even a bit silly #my heart grows three sizes every time I read it. & then explodes ❤️‍🔥💥🔥 such is life once u write a thesis on epics #the contrast of the rich jovial life of Nausikaa as a young princess playing ball games w her maids #& Odysseus fighting literally in the trenches just to stay alive. just to ensure the spark of his life does not go out.

"David Tennant is overshadowing Ncuti"

no he's just... delaying him? like, i get it, i'm excited for ncuti too but we'll still get to him, in his own era, maybe give it a minute and let dt fans be happy for a bit because they get some neat specias? it's just some tv show specials, you don't HAVE to add moral value to them you know?

this whole "oh no a plot twist, this is clearly a Moral Dilemma, a plot to use a popular character to wrong the one starting!!" thing is so tiring to me.

"David Tennant is overshadowing Jodie's departure!" yeahhh but tbf, she overshadowed Peter Capaldi's first, it's usually like that with regeneration. Remember when Matt Smith overshadowed David Tennant's? This is clearly a long-range revenge plot!

"David Tennant personally poked holes into my cheese!" No he didn't, it's okay, just eat an apple my GOD

#tired. #istg it's no wonder this fandom made me miserable #an actor 'breathes' #butthurt fans 'this is clearly a personal attack towards my favourite doctor' #this show will one day die from being unable to give us some fun new things #endless possibilities with time travel and parallel worlds and shit #and we never see any of it because every change is perceived as an attack to the show and actors #omg a plot twist? to freshen up the concept of regeneration a little? and give fans some nostalgia? #POOR NCUTI!!! #how will he cope with being the doctor during his already contractually pre-determined time instead of before???

Having been here since Tumblr's Golden Days and having watched its slow decline into a graveyard (albeit one with a pretty active infestation of chittering goblins), it's been fascinating this past week.

Blogs that have been silent for years, that I'd assumed long dead and abandoned and among the many graves that litter this hellsite...are suddenly come back to life.

I'm not sure if it's more like seeing critters come out of a very, very long hibernation blinking around at how everything's a wee bit different from what they remember—or perhaps something a bit more timeless and undead, like vampires kicking open their coffins or zombies bursting out from the graves where they'd laid.

I hope the time has come for Tumblr's zombie reawakening.

Welcome back, y'all. Welcome back.

#YukiPri rambles #Tumblr #People are right to be wary of this site after the Purge #but the timing of staff's N/S/F/W deets and the blue bird's crisis is definitely connected #There are always pros and cons to there being more users #but at the same time I miss having more interaction and company #and seeing some old familiar handles i'd honestly forgotten about is like being slapped in the face with nostalgia

hello hello

1) this blog officially goes away some time in june after i graduate. or at least super specific, identifying parts of this blog go away

2) life has been good away from the internet. take a break, take a detox. personally, it made me a champion in debate thrice this season so far. the grades are up (i hate you econ from last semester). the situationship is still a situationship (sorry babes </3), but i’m becoming increasingly grateful for everything, especially when bad news comes my way

3) if we don’t meet again in this floating abyss of a hellsite—so long and thanks for all the fish. hope you have an amazing life; you deserve it

#grace talks #i’m dramatic asf the fuck #still gonna pop in here from time to time #some of my favorite artists are on here #and also nostalgia #ew i’m graduating #old old old girl right here
