me when my attempts to tear down a system that is built off of violence and grabs for power stem from a place of disgust and overwhelming guilt despite my best intentions and instead continue to perpetuate the cycle of violence in a bloody attempt to instate peace

#I’m not gonna pretend to know where the line should be drawn in vamp society. what ends justify means and whatnot #but the irony of Arthur speaking of peace while he lit Vanya on fire was not lost on me #I’m shaking him around in my brain. he’s spinning around like on a dryer cycle. arthur bennett the man that you are #his character makes me crazy there’s so much to unpack dude #jrwi #jrwi the suckening #the suckening #the suckening spoilers #arthur bennett #z speaks

look guys i actually did some spirit designs

[ID: the Hargreeves' spirits in the Paranatural au - or at least, the five of them that are kids in this au.

Luther's is an ape that looks like his body from the comics. Diego's is a creature that looks a bit like a small porcupine. Allison's is a large snake with its mouth duct taped shut. Klaus' is a blue raccoon with three eyes and a pink tail, and Viktor's is based off of the White Violin from the comics, except its head transforms into reaching arms. End ID.]

sorry, the ID got REALLY long this time. that's a summary for anyone scrolling, theres a more detailed one under the cut!

[ID: Luther's spirit is labelled First Simian In Space: THE MARTIAN APE. He looks like the ape that supplied Luther's body in the comics, drawn in the paranatural style; blue, with one eye. He is wearing an astronaut helmet and sitting in a coin operated rocket ship that is much too small for it. He has transformed the world around him into a scifi martian landscape; cardboard standups with doors and lockers scribbled on them are the only indication of the real world. Luther is sprawled on the ground staring in shock, while the Martian Ape says "Y'know, you should totally just kill your dad".

Diego's spirit is a very small creature that looks a bit like a porcupine.

Panel 1: Diego holds his spirit in his hands and says, "So, what's your name?". His spirit responds "I am called..."

Panel 2: A caption appears; Projectile Extraordinaire: KRAKEN. The image is in full color, focusing on Kraken, which glowers cutely and shows off her spines.

Panel 3: The same shot as panel one, except Diego now looks very skeptical. He says "..." and then "Why." Kraken responds "It sounded cool."

Allison's spirit is a giant green snake coiled around a tree branch, with a pattern down his back that looks like open mouths.

The first two images are centered on Allison, who is scowling in both. Someone unseen says "It can force people to do things, honey!" and "It's too dangerous to leave you alone with it." and finally, "So we fixed it."

The final image is of the spirit. He is captioned Muzzled Mind Controller: THE RUMOR. His mouth has been duct taped shut. He does not look pleased.

Klaus' spirit is a blue raccoon with dark purple legs and a fluffy striped pink tail. It also has three eyes.

Panel 1: The large colored closeup of Klaus' spirit. It is captioned Mystical Conartist: THE SEANCE.

Panel 2: Klaus asks it "With a name like that, what's your power?" The Seance, its nose just high enough to fit into frame, replies, "Oh, I can sense ghosts"

Panel 3: Klaus looks supremely unimpressed. In the background, a ghost says "Hi" to Allison and Luther, and they say "Oh, hey" back.

Panel 4: Klaus asks, "Seriously?"

Panel 5: The Seance, viewed from above, says "Hey, I can sense them even when they're not visible! Like behind walls and stuff!"

Panel 6: The Seance adds "Also I can float." It is demonstrating, floating about eye level with Klaus and emitting a cloud of cyan spectral energy as it does so. Klaus looks more pleased with this and says "Okay, that one's pretty good."

Viktor's spirit is a Wight, a spirit so warped by rage and pain that it has permanently been changed, its spectral energy has become white, and has gained massive, devastating power. It looks a lot like the design of the White Violin in the comics, but it manifests too many or too few arms from where its head should be.

There are three images of it. In the first, it is kneeling. It has manifested six arms in varying degrees of completeness, and all of them look sad.

In the second, the matter of its head has split into many small pieces that almost look like parts of mouths, save for two clawing hands. It screams, in the Wight spirit language from Paranatural, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME.

In the third, the largest, its knees buckle as it stands and manifests one reaching hand. It is captioned Violent White: THE WHITE VIOLIN. End ID]

i think gil-galad is the kind of guy who blends in everywhere. put him in royal blue and his starlit crown and he looks every bit the part of a king. give him his spear and armor and he looks exactly as a commander should. have him take off his cloak and roll around in the dirt a tiny bit and he will blend in absolutely every tavern. he is broad-shouldered but not very tall and if he puts on a hat he can reasonably look human from a distance.

elrond, meanwhile, has both the blood of luthien and idril in his veins. no matter how he's dressed, he looks unquestionably noble.

#this is also why (whatever parentage you give him) it's important to me gil galad has mixed cultural heritage #whether it's noldor/sindar or noldor/teleri or noldor/vanya or some mix of these #gil galad #gil-galad #elrond #lena speaks

Very much not sorry, SYLD, autism and Polish teachers in family make me do things.

1. No idea how this is called in English.

Kot — cat. Kotek — little cat. Kocię — very little cat. Kociątko — even more little cat.

2. Evolution.

Proto—Indo—European: mèrtis

Polish now: śmierć

If you listen closely these words do sound similiar but look at the spelling.

3. Devilish phonology

You think you know phonetic alphabet? Loser. This is ,,w Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie" (,,In Szczebrzeszyn a beetle buzzes in the field):

And this is How I Unleashed The World War II. Polish prisoner pretends to be named Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz in order to thwart the Nazi officer who has to keep track of prisoners’ identities.

4. Double negatives

English: I want nothing

Polish: Niczego nie chcę (I don't want nothing)

5. Swearing

Pierdolić. Such a beautiful word. Pierdolić — to fuck. Przypierdolić — to hit someone intensively. Spierdolić — to fuck up, to run away. Zapierdolić — to steal. There are more.

(Funfact: the word ,,pieprzyć" means ,,to fuck" but also to add pepper.)

6. Idioms

,,Thinking of blue almonds" — daydreaming

,,Not my circus, not my monkeys" — not my problem

,,Flies up your nose" — to be in bad mood

,,Go stuff yourself with hay" — go away

,,Once in a Russian year" — reffering to something that hardly ever happens

,,Elephant stomped on your ear" — you are tone deaf

7. Onomatopeas

English pig: Oink! Oink!

Polish pig: Chrum! Chrum! 👹👹👹👹👹

Why. Just why.

something ive noticed with more older fans of mash and people who watched it growing up (and journalists) is that they tend to nitpick and criticize the anachronisms way more than mashblr and the rest of the younger crowd, who take them less as signs of carelessness and more like accidentally fitting the themes of the show

#provided no one on mashblr is normal about this show. but #when i watched it for the first time and wasnt a very active participant in the fandom i didnt care either #'the hairstyles get progressively more modern' so what? the show is as much abt korea as abt vietnam as abt any other war #'they had four christmases' and i would gladly watch them have five more lmao theyre delightful #idk. its not a dig at anyone its just weird to me that out of all the things the show could be criticized for folks get stuck on this #its me talking #vanya watches mash #also just in general older ppl who grew up with the show always speak of it so reservedly like #'oh it might have aged badly in places and it might not be for the modern audiences anymore' #meanwhile mashblr alone is like baby we got modern readings of mash you couldnt even THINK of

i'm trying to organize and furnish my room a bit better so i actually enjoy existing in it!! and with the antique store closing, i've been able to get good deals on some stuff (though, ironically, most of everything i buy is the non-marked down items -_- ) and i ended up buying a small black wooden chair and a medium sized bookshelf in a nice warm medium wood! the bookshelf is in pretty good condition, the chair probably needs to be touched up since it's been rained on whilst in the shop, but i'm really excited to include them in my bedroom!

it only just hit me though that moving things in means cleaning up and moving other things out.. ough it's gonna be a tough one

#no idea where i'll be putting this bookshelf in here #and i want to remove my bedroom closet door to hang up shelves/hooks behind it to hang up my accessories and things #need a place 2 store belts and hats #plus doing this will give my bedroom and extra half foot of space which doesnt sound like a lot but for me it is everything #.txt #i want to get my closet organized and move all the donation bags out too #which i can probably do on wednesday before we pick up the furniture from the mall #vanya speaks #i am.. so broke right now tho. i need to take it easy but like the mall is CLOSING and i need things !! #but like i 1.) went on vacation 2.) bought a car and 3.) planned and paid for another vacation that is coming up soon

there's just something so. about Magnus' and Arthur's relationship. their friendship was formed from this mutual ideal of peace, but their goal is seeped in as much blood and violence as the society they’re apart of, and their relationship is built on mutually assured destruction. every interaction ends with a reassurance that they’ll be the one to kill the other, should the need arise - should Magnus turn, or should “the beast” inside Arthur take control

#it’s like. arthur asked magnus to be there for the confrontation. not just to deal with vanya should she go vamp mode but to also deal with #himself yknow #they’re like I trust you buddy. promise you’ll drive that stake through my heart should I lose myself to the gnawing hungry monster inside #they’re killers who want the violence of this era of vampire society to come to an end yknow #it’s just they’re so interesting yknow #like I’m just thinking about Arthur’s ‘problem with the sun’ and how he just said he spent days trying to disintegrate himself in the sun #I don’t think he’s asking about a cure for vampirism when he talks to magnus about this. the implications sure are something #jrwi #jrwi the suckening #arthur bennett #the suckening #the suckening spoilers #z speaks

whispers i stumbled across @aethergate‘s emoji icon commission post on the dash a bit ago and i’m very happy to inform u all that vanya translates incredibly well to stylized overly dramatic emoji

#i love all three of them but the first one really speaks to me especially laughs #vanya realizing he poked the wrong bear Again #thank you again leggo!! i'm so happy with them! ;o; #i hope it's alright to post them all like this ghfife i just wanted a spot to save them #other than my flash drive with all my other icons of course laughs #;saved

i have a tua fic that i started before s3 was a thing. and i was wondering if you think it would be bad if i continued writing viktor as /vanya/. like. do you think i should change it?

This is just the opinion of one trans guy, so others might have different thoughts on it. But you're asking me so -

It depends on when your fic takes place. You should absolutely be writing him as Viktor if it takes place during or after S3, full stop. It's more nuanced if it's pre-S3. If you're writing something that takes place pre-S3, you could keep using Vanya because he canonically hasn't come out yet. I would say that if your fic is an AU, and his transition is not part of the fic, to consider having him come out earlier so you can use his proper name and pronouns, but that's a you call.

It's a basic respect thing, right? If in the timeline he should be Viktor then I think it's worth your time and effort to not deadname him, rather than leaving it for your own convenience.

I'm not going to police people to rewrite stuff they've already written. I don't see malicious intent in not changing things that were already published before we knew about Viktor. I did go back through my fics and edit for Viktor wherever relevant, and it was an effort but not an unwieldy one and I thought it was very worth it. I personally would have felt weird not changing it.

#how much effort it is to change depends on your fic #if Viktor isnt a main and isnt POV its a pretty quick ctrl+f to find 'vanya' and change those to viktor #and then pronoun hunt around the name because they cluster #and then checking for where to change 'sister' to 'brother' #if Viktor is POV i wont lie it is quite a bit more effort because name and pronouns are Everywhere #but you get to reread your own work while you go and thats always nice #ficblogging #sharkneto speaks
