Julia Ormond and Tim Roth in Captives (1994)

#tim roth #julia ormond #captives #one of the hottest scenes in cinema and that's even without all the thrusting i had to take out after getting flagged ;;;;; #he didn't bruise his hips for nothing y'know #but i digress 😔 #for my anon who asked for gifs of my fav tim roth movie i'm honestly not even sure if this is it but #it's definitely the first time i consumed a piece of media with full complete understanding of what an awakening felt like #so uh. some well deserved kudos for that just felt right 👀👀 #(editing AGAIN to add after the set got cleared it was immediately blocked one more time because of some of my tags lmaooooo #so those are gone now too but where is the justice 😭😭) #movieedit #dianagifs

i think this whole early access thing is really shining a light on the true colours of some creators...

on the one hand you've got people who've always been ea or have been for a long ass time turning round and saying you know what? everything's free and i ain't going nowhere cos they love the game, creating and the community as a whole so why would they leave?

then on the other hand you've got people turning round saying "well it's not very clear i'm gonna continue until it is" or "uwu i have bills" or "even more uwu we're being made victims here and being lumped in with the same group who doxxed ppl blah blah and idk if i wanna stay around in a community like that" bitch.. you were never here for the community, you just wanted to make money off the people in said community, so byeeee~, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

#ramblings #most of us are poor as shit as well y'know #this is a hobby.. it's fun #we're supposed to share and create together.. not act like clowns #some creators really deserve some recognition and donations but not all of us can afford to do so #i've always been on the fence about ea cos some ppl rlly did it fairly #but i think it turned cc into a bit of a popularity/class contest so i'm almost glad about the recent 'uproar' #and -obviously- perma paywall shit can eat a buffet of dicks but we didn't need to clarify that did we

[marinsawakening]

HEY so in case you were WONDERING I crunched the numbers and 44.37% of the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening tag on AO3 is Linked Universe fic.

And hey. Hey. In case you were wondering. Guess what the percentage of Linked Universe fic in the Marin tag is. Guess.

65.64%

Roughly two thirds of the Marin (Legend of Zelda) tag on AO3 is Linked Universe.

So anyway. I'm gonna need Linked Universe fans to either start treating Marin as an actual character in her own right rather than Legend's dead girlfriend who he's sad about or I'm gonna need them to stop tagging her in their fic.

Number crunching method under the cut

Alright, so. The thing that actually makes it difficult to figure out how many Linked Universe fics there are on AO3 is that AO3, as of writing (ninth of march 2024) does not have a Linked Universe fandom tag. (Even though at this point it really should because this is ridiculous.) There is an additional tag, "Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda)", but usage of this within the Linked Universe fandom is unreliable. There's a lot of fics that are Linked Universe, and are tagged with the characters, but are not tagged with the additional tag.

So what I did was this: try to figure out how many fics are tagged with the characters, but not with 'Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda)'. For this, I couldn't just filter on all the characters, because not all Linked Universe fics are going to have every single Linked Universe character. So I systemically eliminated the characters one by one, and tallied up all the fics they had as I did.

That looked like this:

Step 1: Find out how many fics there are in the 'Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda)' additional tag.

Step 2: Find out how many fics there are in the 'Legend (Linked Universe)' character tag if you exclude 'Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda)' from the search.

Step 3: Find out how many fics there are in the next most numerous character tag, if you exclude Legend and the Linked Universe additional tag from the search.

Etc. until all the characters had been eliminated, then tally up all the fics.

The numbers looked like this:

For Link's Awakening:

Total fics in the tag: 311

Total fics in the 'Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda)' tag: 86

Fics including the tag 'Legend (Linked Universe)', excluding those tagged 'Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda)': 48

Fics including 'Warriors (Legend of Zelda)', excluding Legend, Linked Universe: 2

Fics including Time, excluding Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: none

Fics including Twilight, excluding Time, Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: none

Fics including Hyrule, excluding Time, Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: 1

Fics including Wild, excluding Hyrule, Time, Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: 1

There were no fics for any of the other characters with the remaining filters applied.

Total number of Linked Universe fics: 86 + 48 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 138

44.37% of the fics in the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening tag on AO3 are Linked Universe.

For Marin (Legend of Zelda):

Total fics in the tag: 358

Total fics in the 'Linked Universe' additional tag: 152

Fics including the 'Legend (Linked Universe)' tag, excluding Linked Universe: 76

Fics including Warriors, excluding Legend and Linked Universe: 4

Fics including Twilight, excluding Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: none

Fics including Hyrule, excluding Twilight, Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: 1

Fics including Time, excluding Hyrule, Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: none

Fics including Wind, excluding Time, Hyrule, Warriors, Legend, and Linked Universe: 2

There were no fics for any of the other characters with the remaining filters applied.

Total number of Linked Universe fics: 152 + 76 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 235

65.64% of fics in the Marin (Legend of Zelda) AO3 tag are Linked Universe.

it's sound weird, but i have headcanon that Hunter didn't go hexside, because he too old to shool(according to my feelings, at the end of the he is 16-17 y.o (except for the post-credits scene), and at that age it is already too late to go to school):p

i mean, well- in my opinion he rather certainly did go to hexside, since one of the things he'd said during his TTT monologue was "i'd like to attend hexside like a normal student and play flyer derby with my friends" and all of his "wishes" were supposed to sort of foreshadow his goals and his future (carving palismen, studying wild magic, etc etc) so i feel like it's safe to say he succeeded in becoming a hexside student as well. we also know he attended grom with the rest of his friend group, and like- since he's 16 before the timeskip (no canon certainty whether he's recently turned 16 or is going on 17 already though, but like... around 16 canonically) that means he'd get at least 1 year of school, but most likely 2+.

my personal headcanon is that he went to hexside for around 2 years (full or not quite, depending on when the school year starts in the boiling isles and how long it lasts; possibly even 3), and during that time he picked up a mentorship/apprenticeship at del's palisman carving shop, and after he graduated from hexside he started carving palismen professionally with the clawthornes (i like to think that he also takes some courses at eda's wild magic university in his spare time, simply cuz . funny uni hexsquad shenanigans)

#like imo him being like ''i dream abt going to hexside'' and then not getting to attend hexside cuz he's ''too old to start'' or sth #would be kinda cruel since he already lost sooo much of his childhood because of belos. and he wants to be a hexside student #he deserves to have these few years of the typical teenage experience that he so desperately longs for #ofc it's not gonna make up for ALLLL the years of childhood that he'd lost. but even 2 years of the experience? would mean So much to him #not to even mention that the idea of him just... sitting at home or JUST carving palismen or doing whatever for halfa day for the 2-4 years #just cuz he's ???? ''too old'' or it's ''too late for him to start high school at his age'' or anything similar ? #while the rest of his friends get to go to school and learn and socialize and attend classes everyday without him . sounds so lonely #and he had already spent most of his life sheltered and separated from everyone so . yeah. #he'd still technically have to finish hexside like 1-2 years before the rest of hexsquad buuuuut y'know. his situation is very unique #so i could also imagine bump/eda agreeing to let him go to school a year or so longer so that he could finish it alongside his friends #but that's like mm i also can see him finishing it a year early compared to the rest of hexsquad and starting fulltime at the palisman shop #but either way; yes to at least 1-2 years at hexside in my mind #now COLLEGE? i Could see him not going to uni since he's already got the palisman business going and is doing well and wants to chill #BUT personally i still like to imagine that he attends classes there part-time #nicole answers #my toh talk #hunter toh #verocorne

Positive rant about how goDDAMNED SWEET IDI IS cause I gotta talk to SOMEONE about how he made me SOB last night 😭😭

So, just for context, cause I don't know if I really talk about this, I've always viewed Crowley as the person who helped Halt heal. He was the first one to offer Halt true, unconditional love, and he was the one who helped Halt realize and process his traumas

So, last night, I was kinda crying to Idi about how I realized I kinda identify with Halt in a lot of not-mentally-ok ways (I'm fine it was just late at night and I was paranoid), and I swear to God the first and only thing Idi says in response to that was basically just

"Well then maybe I should be Crowley"

.

Y'ALL ARE SEEING THIS, RIGHT??

I'm still kinda wanting to cry typing this cause oh my lord that was so SWEEEET!!!!!!!

😭😭

#WELL THEN MAYBE I SHOULD BE CROWLEY?????? #AGH #😭😭😭😭 #I love you Idiiiii 😭😭😭 #rambles #positive rant #“y'know how we sometimes pretend we're Halt and Crowley? Maybe we should switch the roles around I dye my hair red instead of black! :D '' #SOBBING #ignore me if you want lolll #I just needed to rant cause oml I #AAA #what did I do to deserve you oml 😭😭 #I've never felt so loved <3<3<3<3<3

just updated my carrd a little bit ago to include new details about the reevesverse and uhhh. unfortunately, with the way that julien died, i can also imagine that jack would feel a TON of guilt surrounding the whole event (in addition to barton) and i don't know how to feel about that. because although julien and jack aren't actually related by blood in either the main verse or the reevesverse... that wasn't the only time julien saved him + he definitely felt a sibling-like bond to him

#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings. #ooc post. #yeah so unfortunately jack kind of has even more reason to be sad in the reevesverse... he honestly- #deserves so much better. though that's not to say that the other mathis children don't bc they certainly do as well #i just feel like jack is a perfect example of a character who really tries their best to remain positive in the face of hardship but who- #has been through so much and is quiteee possibly on the brink of a complete mental breakdown bc deep down inside he feels like- #nothing is getting better like people say it eventually will. or he's severely depressed no matter what way you look at it which is... #something i don't even know what to say to. i mean he does have a support system in matilda and barton HAS stepped up to the plate- #before for him but he doesn't do it enough so something's just gotta change y'know? #tw: grief. #tw: mental illness. #tw: guilt.

actually no the next person to say "i don't watch cartoon movies" with "cartoon" specifically in reference to anything animated at All personally owes me $50 and their left kneecap

#liz blogs #biting and gnawing and growling and frothing at the mouth #anybody who discredits entire mediums is a fucking child!!! you're a fucking baby!!! either way!!!!! #if you say you dont watch animation you're a baby. if you say you dont watch live action you're a baby. #its fine to have a preference. but to straight up Refuse to even Consider watching something is absolutely braindead behavior #killing you killing you killing you killing you killing you killing you killing you k #at least 'i dont watch cartoons' is unfortunately common but somehow i have known people Plural with the Opposite take as well #which is almost. more braindead somehow. #yeah maybe i take it too personally or seriously because art and animation is My Passion and what i wanted to do #for a living but y'know. i don't care. i deserve to be mad about things #people get mad about stupider things.

i really want to start making a table collecting statistics on the audience demographics i'll perform my aubrey material for (like what generation most of the audience is, whether i'm performing in a predominantly queer space, etc.) and how well the jokes land bc like. i need to collect more data points before i can properly present my findings but the results so far have been fascinating

#again i do not have enough performance experiences to make any definitive claims about who ''aubery's audience'' is #but i find it funny that any time i show my aubrey material one-on-one to a queer gen z person #they're always like ''i love it but straight people will definitely hate it or not get it'' #and i get the inclination to be like. ''i like this thing so people like me will like this thing'' #and cishet society seems so polarized w/r/t queer topics it's like. the assumption makes sense #however. whenever i've done an aubrey performance in front of an audience that's predominantly queer and gen z #i've actually received a primarily negative response!! and somehow straight people have never given me shit for my aubrey material #(''well straight allys don't count'' i told some of my aubrey jokes to a joe rogan dudebro and he enjoyed them) #(which yeah maybe could be a mark against my comedy but i like to think i opened his mind a bit at the very least) #i really want to test my aubrey monologues in front of a primarily gen x/boomer audience #bc so far i only have actual performance experience in front of gen z or millennials #and the older people i've told jokes to individually or shown videos of my stuff have really liked it #luckily paul has said a goal for when i'm in town this summer is to get me to perform my aubrey stuff in as many different places as possib #for both queer audiences and non-queer audiences so i can gauge reactions since i don't want to be confined to one demographic #so i'll get a lot of data points this summer #@ paul get me a performing slot at senior citizen pride lmao these are my people #(shoutout to paul going ''jess stop collecting the old homos!'' last time i was in town) #(and when i imitated him and was like ''old gay men are not your pokemon!'' bellini was like ''ok but they may be your audience'') #also one data point i really want to see the variation on is how my one specific joke plays in these different demographics #bc i have a joke that like. it's literally not even about AIDS and doesn't punch down at all #i literally say ''if you're gay and over the age of 50 you could violate the geneva convention and i'd still be like support our troops'' #like obviously being like ''you have been through hell so i will let you get away with literal war crimes you deserve ultimate immunity'' #BUT. in the line right before the quote i use the phrase ''AIDS generation'' not as a derogatory term but being like. #this horrible thing impacted the entire generation y'know? and bellini and scott and their friends call themselves that it's just the term #but when i said the phrase ''AIDS generation'' in front of my gen z audience i heard gasps and felt like they all hated me #and when i did the same line in front of millennials it wasn't quite as striking but their eyes did widen #like i was suddenly an ''edgy comedian''. but like this is a part of our history and it does inform the story i'm telling #the story i'm telling is comedic but it's grounded in this real world context #and i'm like. @ the audience who was offended: when was the last time any of y'all spoke to a gay man over the age of 50 #bc bellini loves that section of the monologue and was offended that people would even take offense to that phrase

now that i've everyone's attention, can we talk about how the fallen king of broadway is one of the most... interesting thing ever?? like, oscar jaffee, oliver putnam, max bialystock?? they're all bastards in their own way, but they also have that kind of magnetic aura around themselves that makes them addictive for those around them?? can we please talk about this??

#like please #can we talk about this #im this close on writing some paper about this phenomenon #also we do need to talk more about oscar jaffee #and on the twentieth century in general #like both oscar and max are tony winning roles #and while tonys can be yhhh y'know #they're well deserved for them #also oliver my beloved #also can we talk about the oscar (award) pun in the ottc #cause if you think about it we can make the same joke with oliver (as in west end award) #PLEASE I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS #also on kinda unrelated note i do love the fact that nathan lane is both in the producers and omitb #he's such a great actor #still bummed he's not in the season 3 #AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE MUSICAL EPISODE #anyway #there goes normal tags #oliver putnam #oscar jaffee #max bialystock #omitb #ottc #the producers #only murders hulu #on the twentieth century #only murders in the building

One day I'll actually write a post about Erlona and Meadowlin instead of throwing random tidbits on the dash. Very invested in these two people I pulled from a brief mention in a short book summary you find at random.

#OOC / HOLLY. #she loved both of them and they both loved her but she also had quite different dynamics with them #like Erlona was def a mentor and an authority but not really a mother figure. maternal leaning but in the way a schoolmistress might be #whereas she and Meadowlin def connected on a more familial level. he was her father figure #I think Erlona and Meadowlin argued a lot about Aylin's upbringing #Erlona raised her as this divine figure with a holy mission y'know #and there's some merit to that. Aylin was never a normal child #but Meadowlin felt she deserved to have more of a childhood and a youth. as much as they could give her #he saw the wisdom in training and educating her properly. her life was in the danger the moment she was born #and she clearly wasn't one meant for a quiet life #but he was perhaps the only one to see that alongside all the uncanny intelligence and ability she was still a child #he was def the more easy-going one while Erlona was more strict and structured #[which I think can also be attributed to *their* different upbringings and backgrounds] #anyway no one needs my tag essays skdlhg #I'll just say that Aylin did love and respect Erlona and Erlona did love her as well #but Erlona is kinda the root of some of Aylin's problems [for example doesn't know how to ask for help and is embarrassed to even need it]
