i am wide awake thinking about that post canon jb au again when I should be sleeping …!!! such is the nature of the jbrainrot…

#the whole setting is jb hanging out in the rock post war #and tyrion became lord of the westerlands / the rock is his but he’s off doing stuff in kingslanding and jaime is just filling in for him #atm . but after tyrion comes back his original plan WAS he’ll get married to brienne right away and they can move back to tarth or be #travelling hedge knights together or whatever brienne wants to do he’s down for it. but the important thing is that he wants to stay with #her .. so he’s using the time they have together currently to court her bc she deserves that at least !! #so jaime goes off trying to court and woo brienne but she just thinks they’re hanging out bc they got relatively close in the war #so jaime being touchy feely isn’t anything new. jaime making innuendos and being kinda flirty isn’t anything new either #but this time he means it LOL he’s like I want to kiss you SO badly and brienne will be like lol silly jaime (: #I was also thinking they’d help rebuild lannisport just bc it’s a time for healing now and it would be good for the people to get to know #jaime and the lannisters in general bc of how they would just used to sit high above the rock looking down on everyone #but now jaime is like. actively helping and being known and being with the people rather than just being that absent distant lord #also he’s thinking he might as well try and foster some relationship with the commoners to his house bc it’s for tyrion anyway #so he’s off doing that and brienne is tagging along bc she does not want to go home yet #she wants to stay with him and she’s helping out as an excuse to stay a little longer but she doesn’t exactly want to leave him #but how do you tell someone that and ignore the big glaring part that she’s actually in love with him and the fact that they both survived #the war is getting her hopeful???? u want her to admit that?? like a normal person??? no..!! #so she’s just staying and helping out bc a) it’s the sensible thing to do b) so she can bask on the sun that is Jaime Lannister #for like a few more days. weeks. maybe a month bc the weather is soooo bad in the stormlands rn 🙄😳 #anyway jb hanging out! and everything is going well and good but jaime is now getting popular w the people and he’s also looking quite #rugged and handsome post war now that he’s thirty flirty and thriving and he also has a new scar across his lip that makes his #smirks even more ! rogueish … ! and he looks quite nice with the greying hair 👀 so now there’s gossips around him #not to mention he’s single too and I think if you were one of the heroes who helped win the war they’ll forget the kingslaying #man with no honor business so lo and behold brienne eavesdrops a group of ladies bc she’s a chismosa at heart and they’re talking about a #potential marriage for a lord lannister (!!!) and there’s going to be a big tourney held in Kingslanding for it (!!!) #and brienne remembers jaime mentioning the ought to go to Kingslanding in the next few weeks (!!!) and now she’s remembering jaime IS a #lord though not theee lord of the westerlands STILL a lord from one of the seven houses and he’s single and very eligible for marriage rn #and now she’s realising everything is returning back the way it was before the war where society rules matters and she has her own role as #now the evenstar bc rip selwyn and jaime has his own role too and the court is a whole different battlefield #one that she isn’t equipped in and even though she had found some new confidence in herself bc killing a bunch of ice invisible zombies #with your own magic sword will do that for you she doesn’t think (and she’s being objective not negative) she stands a chance in THAT

[kendallroygf]

btw this is probably one of the most insane and telling scenes in regards to stewy nd kendall. like the stewy-marcia interaction first off. the way it’s so clearly paralleling kenstewy with logan and marcia. stewy and marcia literally watch their respective persons in silence. also important to note that stewy was one of the first ppl to greet logan when he arrived probably bc he knew that one of the first things logan was going to do was approach kendall and he wanted to get in there first to gauge the situation + logan. but stewy’s concern for kendall in regards to what could happen when he’s in close proximity to logan is so clear and almost synonymous with marcia’s own concern/love for logan at this point. like it seems intentional that they were shown to be like. logan and kendall’s respective partners here

#kenstewy #succession #stewy hosseini #stewy/marcia interaction just in general is insane. like she greeted him with such warmth. you can tell she genuinely fucking likes him. #like that’s soooooo . us brown ppl always win btw ! #but also it’s like. the loganmarcia kenstewy parallels you could make… #marcia was the only one to completely understand and unequivocally love logan while knowing exactly who he was and what’s he done. and she #supported him stuck by him etc until he betrayed her #like he grew careless of her and took her for granted. and does that sound familiar? like that happened to my guys kendall and stewy. insane #ALSO throughout this scene you see stewy greet logan and marcia -> watch kendall talk to logan -> see him walking kind of fast in some #direction until caroline approaches him (and even then he doesn’t chat for long at all) -> then finally he finds kendall and sits down to #talk to him. like throughout this whole scene he’s just following kendall around😵‍💫 like it’s literally a party and he’s like. running after #kendall the whole time. and when he sits down he’s like. hey heard you talked to your dad lol. like he wasn’t 8 feet away watching kendall #intently stood next to marcia while it was happening. like that’s super insane #kind of unrelated but not really but stewy has the worst case of anxiety i’ve ever seen like he’s sooo anxious. he’s mentally ill fr and #i love him with all my heart #stewy #kennystewy #p

the fact that every time winteam have had sex it hasn’t been in either of their rooms, first the hotel, then the locker room, now a public restroom, but they fall asleep together in win’s bed every night, it speaks volumes to how they aren’t ready to blur those lines yet. for them sex isn’t the most intimate part of their relationship, the most intimate part is falling asleep cuddled together in win’s room, it’s team’s safe haven, but they aren’t ready to fully express how they feel about one another.

i think win was almost ready, at least getting close to accepting things, and then team almost drowned and it shook him, he is now hit with this realisation that he loves team and if anything ever happens to him he wouldn’t know how to go on, but it also just confirmed all of his fears about losing someone he loves because he came so close to losing team, so while he now is more open and accepting of what he feels for team, it’s pushed him backwards from admitting that out loud. and herein lies the problem, team relies on win to lead, we’ve only ever seen him initiate two kisses, one a chaste thank you, the other after he almost drowns and win is near hysterical in front of him, everything else has been win leading, opening doors and allowing team to either follow of close them. team won’t admit his feelings until win does, he only admitted to caring and feeling protective of win after win pushed for those answers, and now win is taking a slight step back and telling waan that whatever happens next is up to team, which sure it always has been because while win leads he only leads as far as he thinks team will go, every last decision has ultimately been up to team after win gives options, now it seems like win needs teams confession before he can confess, but team doesn’t realise confessing is even on the table, he doesn’t know how deeply win feels and it’s holding team back.

all of this was to say that when win and team finally can accept and confess their feelings for each other, we will see more physical intimacy, aside from sleepy cuddles and chaste thank you kisses, in wins room. when they confess and accept the other feels the same, they’ll be able to bring parts of their relationship into their safe haven that before didn’t seem right to, the first time they have sex after confessing will be them making love, it’ll be different from all the other times they’ve had sex, it won’t be a one night stand neither thinks is going anywhere, it won’t be a quick fuck in the locker room or the public bathroom, it’ll be them finally matching up their sexual and emotional intimacy.

#between us #between us the series #winteam #i know some people are confused about the fact abc were talking about telling people you love them and then win follows team for a quickie #but it makes sense as to who they are as people #emotions are complicated at the best of times but especially for people who carry around trauma #sex is easy and uncomplicated and it’s how their relationship started so it’s basically their default #i think win followed team to say something but when he was face to face with team he couldn’t so to him the next best thing was sex #win may not be able to say how he feels but he knows he can show how he feels so when he can’t say the words he goes for actions instead

one other thing that really makes me roll my eyes in dc fics is the insistence that the bats can take down anyone, even their most op teammates. like... you guys know a character doesn't have to be the most physically capable one in the room in order to be interesting or strong in their own right, right? look me in the eye. cass had to save tim from shrike. bane broke bruce's back. mind-controlled kon snapped tim's arm like a twig. trying to make them ~always~ able to counter even the most powerful opponents is so boring im sorry like they can and do lose fights sometimes, and that's interesting actually. they are all incredibly competent martial artists, yes! that doesn't mean they can win every single matchup. that's simply neither the point of nor the strength in their characters.

#like ppl who insist that tim could solo the rest of core four #or that bruce could solo the jl. etc #look me in the eye and tell me that this regular human man (any of them) could beat starfire in a fight. #of course there's elements such as strategy and traps and knowing the environs etc etc #but overall just like. as a general concept. so goddamn annoying #im sure canon does this sometimes too but like. the way the fanon version makes non-bat characters look so stupid... #sorry i just remembered some fic that had a throwaway line like oh of course tim could take kon in an actual fight-- #like what do you mean of course. no the fuck he couldn't. tim is some guy. kon is an invulnerable telekinetic alien. i hate you people #he doesn't have to be able to win every single fight in order to be interesting or competent!!! (any of them!!) #next thing you know there's gonna be people insisting bruce could solo superboy prime if he just had enough ~preparation time~ #rimi talks

Find it funny how willow very much WAS the voice of reason a lot of the time in the demon realm but then she gets to the human realm and is so confused and scared that she sort of just sits back and tries to have fun and make memories where she can. We love a self care queen. Being stupid is good for her <3

#ramblings of a lunatic #the owl house #toh #toh spoilers #willow park #she did what she had to do as the mom friend but now there is an actual mom in the picture and she WILL allow herself to be 15 #which is good for her honestly. since i think (wishfully but i think) she might have some heavier stuff coming up in special 2 #like don't get me wrong her arc is 99% done BUT now she's gonna be reacting to belos possessed hunter and also HIM BEING A GRIMWALKER #IF we get a tad more wittebane lore she'll probably be there for it (along with gus- they're hunters besties and saw the statue) #((here's how ghost!caleb can still win /j)) #like who know maybe she'll be well adjusted next time we see her but also she did casually mention getting revenge so.. #(willow and darius team up when. if any bitches in this cast want vengance on that mold man it's them) #OR maybe there'll be feelings of...idk- guilt at not noticing hunter was getting possessed/not being able to help him? #or feeling protective of him since he (presumably) has no magic rn (he can learn glyphs but he was good at staffs) #and who knows what that stirs up in her since she's used to being on the otherside of that equation #again. 90% sure this is wishful thinking as a willow stan w/ brainrot. but let me dream /j #anyway yeah. dumbass willow for the win! stop trying to be the glue all the time! get silly with it!

as usual i am up late into the night planning my future when i should be: getting a good nights sleep so that i even have a future!!

#i have work in seven and a half hours. so i should really be getting to bed #BUT i officially made my final definitive degree plan!!!! i mean not the actual classes but all the requirements i have to meet and how!! #(in order to earn: history and information science double major. with certificates in material culture and classics) #and i’m genuinely excited for every single class i have to take except for human-computer interaction #just cause i know it’s gonna get overly technical in ways that won’t quite apply to my future #anyway every single other thing i’m gonna do is very cool and exciting. so everything is good really #but i should be sleeping. and i’m not. as usual 🤧 #idk wish me luck!!!! i’m so hyped about my degree plan though #i’ll go into more detail another time. i’m very excited #ANYWAY goodnight!!!! can’t be so busy planning my future in library science that i DONT GO TO MY SHELVING JOB #kind of important to actually go to work for the library that employs me…. #and then i might go see a first-printing roget’s thesaurus!!!! or i’ll sleep. we’ll see #followed by lunch with GUY WHO IS THE WORST KILL HIM WITH HAMMERS #(there is nothing really wrong with me he just keeps kind of being mean to me and also expecting me to fall in love with him. but like #extremely passively and not manipulatively it’s just like. hey buddy you’re doing this friendship wrong….) #anyway then i have a class and after that i have an hour to rest. and then a phone call and then a lot of homework #(ten page paper draft due in a week and a half!! so it’s time to start writing the actual body of it) #and then i sleep for a LONG time and then work again on saturday. and then sleepover with somebody i have a crush on?? #and then be normal all day on sunday and do a little more paper writing. and programming homework. and whatever else #and then keep up with the slog for three weeks!!!! and all of a sudden it’s summer!!!! #projects left this year: material culture paper (entirely unstarted. but may research the thesaurus and just win!!!!) #history project (draft due the monday after next and real paper due a week after classes end) #one more programming assignment where i adapt my recipe doubler project (probably. it’s getting stupid at this point but it’s what i got!!) #and a programming test in two weeks and then the final a week after that. then no more programming #and then i just have my weekly latin tests and a latin final on may 5th. and then EVERYTHING IS DONE #ok i got this. sorry for walking through my schedule in the tags it’s how i remember what’s real #can’t believe my fucking partner just kind of walked out on me there hello???? like. we should be powering through finals together #but i’m genuinely better off without him so i guess it’s just whatever. trash took itself out or something?? #anyway. i’m so regular. and i have work in the morning. and i’m going to sleep #thank you world. goodnight

I'm playing Bloodborne for the first time! after the Father Gascoigne learning curve Blood Starved Beast was a win on the first try, no sweat

#bloodborne #I took a break during father gascoigne and accidentally met cleric beast whom was also a first time win #i was a little concerned about blood starved beast as someone was warning me about the next boss #it really felt so much easier than gascoigne who is as fast as you and very aggressive #really cannot emphasize how much bonding time i got in with that man he taught me everything i know #he raised me

I once again find myself looking for something that feels like it probably exists but which I have not personally encountered (and can't seem to dig up with the searches I've tried so far), so, hoping to cast a wider net here:

Does anyone know of a version of hotline bling edited so that all of the lyrics are "you used to call me on my cell phone"?

I need it for my little brother for joke reasons

#mine #help please #hotline bling #? #last time I posted a cry for help finding something someone dropped the link within minutes #but that was for a specific very popular tumblr post. and not for a concept. #(if you've read this far you win the anticlimactic explanation for the joke: #my brother has a friend (both high schoolers) who always calls him instead of texting. Today I thought and then said 'his theme song should #be hotline bling bc he always calls u on your cell phone' and he said one of their other friends would think that was funny too. #my next suggestion is going to be to make the friend's ringtone hotline bling but only 'you always call me on your cell phone'.) #it's not that funny. you probably had to be there #and to have known all three of these kids for the last 9-17 years #but! I will make this joke! #...as long as someone else can find a video of this for me. bc I was unsuccessful adn have given up #did you know the youtube search function is garbage now? I guess I haven't used youtube actively since like 2011 or something. it looks bad #and it works bad #I was like 'maybe as a last resort I'll just search the song on youtube and scroll through a hundred pages of results' #but then like 70% of the results were totally unrelated #boo

i am so excited for fall its genuinely like worrisome. I’m goin to an apple orchard this weekend hopefully for brunch + seeing animals + gettin apples AND THEN I’m taking some of those apples to make a cake for mabon like. peace and love on planet earth fr

#ik mabon is wicca / new age stuff in a way i dont usually lean but please consider #it gives me another day to celebrate in my favorite season and gives me an excuse to bake something #called a mabon cake thats got spiced apples in it #so this time the wiccans win. #but yeah im excited about the prospect in a major way. depression cured #i tried to get my dad to join my mabon feast but he says hes busy next week 😔 #so is my friend. so it looks like i am sitting alone and making a feast for one. as i always do #that sounds really sad but its ok really i can make some hearty stew and have left overs and i can have cake and spend time with my dog #and who knows if my dads nice i might take him some of it to feed him at work #but yeah we are ten days out to mabon and a month an a half to samhain which officially means the best months of the year #are upon us. depression is ended until January #my post

bruh he rly can't be stopped

ike was in second place at 95 wins, let that sink in for a minute

#DCB PoR Run #it's usually a smaller gap between him shinon and haar in rd but in por forget it #he gets over 100 wins higher than second place almost if not every single time #in rd there are more like... rly tough ''can do it by themselves'' units #but in por oscar is the only one i trust to just fly out there and zip zip zoom #and thus... we get this LOL. i don't even do it on purpose it's just... how i play #i DID do some differentish stuff this time overall but my top units were all mooostly the same #i reused a few that i hadn't used in ages and i started using haar pretty recentlyish #he's not rly that amazing in por and it's hard to do much with him in this game bc he joins so late #and i have most of my units figured out by then except ranulf who i know i'm saving a spot for #but at least he gets to make up for that in rd a whole lot. i actually told myself that maybe #this time in my next rd file i should take someone else who isn't haar to the tower of guidance #bc he usually falls off a tad bit for the tower and almost never doubles at that point #so in theory i could trade him out for someone i haven't brought in before like caineghis or renning or smth #but LISTEN I ALWAYS CHOOSE MY UNITS WITH MY HEART FIRST AND FOREMOST #that's why i keep picking tormod over pelleas even tho i want pelleas too #but by then i have too many mages/healers and tormod is better to have bc he has his double A support with sothe #also ig bc haar always does so much for me prior to the tower that i feel bad not bringing him lol #actually hey maybe i could swap haar for geoffrey next time... thonkers... #the question is if i can actually go through with it by the time i get to that point LOL #anyway oscar in por is the only one who is this great and im so proud of him

when I was younger I used to mock the concept of love at first sight because how HOW could you be so shallow as to “love” someone when you set eyes on them? But I will say, everyone I’ve ever loved, I have absolutely known was special from that first moment, even if I couldn’t pinpoint what it was that made them so

#thinking back to my coffee boy #and how I just HAD to talk to him #and it wasn’t about physical attraction or anything because I thought he looked weird #but I couldn’t help myself #and he’ll say the moment he met me i radiated warmth #even if we don’t talk he’ll always be special to me #and I’ve had this with other people #idk how to explain it theyre just more vivid? #I forget first meetings all the time but there’s a few people where the first impressions stand out and will not forget #the last person I dated I remember I had to run away #cos coffee boy had recently broken my heart and I was scared I’d fall in love with the next person I walked past on the street #but a month later I was talking to this guy about perfume and he was pretty and I had to leave immediately #a month after that he came across me #not remembering the first time we met . and pursued me for like 3 months before we dated #I ended that back in June and he’s still trying to win me back hm #anyway. people who are special I know immediately

Head in hands thinking of smile and sabi thinking of smile and sabi th

#.flow #okay so here's what i theorize their relationship was #someone sees the two goes are you dating smile goes yeah <3 sabi goes he's my henchman #however smile is joking and sabi is completely serious. smile considers sabi his best friend. sabi...only does after they stop being friends #sabi was very isolated from smile. in the sense that she didn't really consider his presence #smile who was clingy because he had a buddy then said not so nice stuff to get a rise out of her #which was the only way he got sabi to react to anytying he was saying #towards the end of their friendship though the tables turned #sabi became more open. talking about her chronic illnesses and fears. while smile often brushed her off or straight up ignored her #eventually smile meets up with sabi to tell her he wants to stop his gang lifr. he doesn't want to endanger his sister anymore #sabi gets angry at him. they argue. at one point smile mentions a triggering thing she'd revealed to him in the past as a retort #they end up physically fighting. sabi wins in the end. but it certainly doesn't feel like it #essentially it was a very toxic friendship. both of them were going through stuff and didn't know how to cope. #they did really care about each other at one point. but presently sabi both resents smile and regrets her actions. #next time on dotflow theories oreko and sabitsuki. tune in the next tuesday the 27th

We had a ‘Christmas quiz’ at our epilepsy group and mind you I was already at a bit of a disadvantage what with never having an ‘English’ Christmas. And one of the questions was “Who was the first person to bring Christmas trees into the home in England?” And I just. Drew a blank. But because I will always be confidently wrong instead of normal wrong, I wrote “A drunk man with an axe.”

While this was not the correct answer, I still got the point because the group of old men grading my answers were going scarlet and in stitches and gave me a point for being a smart ass.

#and who knows #maybe Prince Albert was a drunk man with an axe #also it’s only thanks to Victoriocity that I knew who that was rip #one guy actually threw up his hands and leaned across the table holding his head #it was hilarious #he’s 81 years old #and the guy next to him was VIBRATING- I thought he was gonna seize #I didn’t win lol #but it was absolutely worth it because any time I didn’t know the answer I made the most insane shit up

Imagine you’re friends with someone who hosts a really popular internet game show, and he invites you on a couple of times and you gain a reputation for winning that gameshow. Then, he sets up a show where the whole point of it is that you cannot win the game, just to break your streak of the whole thing. Your trust breaks just a little bit.

Next time, he asks you to put on a mic pack for another episode of the game show, turns out it’s a heart rate monitor for another episode where you have to sit there and be almost tortured as you attempt to keep yourself calm. Your trust is devolving.

Next time, you come on the show, he tells you to go and wait in the green room and locks you in there, he’s a recording on the screen because he’s locked in the bathroom, he’s been there the whole time, you’re forced to do an escape room to go to work. You don’t know if you can trust him anymore.

Next time, you go on the show, you play bingo, you don’t trust him, something’s wrong, he’s been manipulating players to manipulate players into manipulating players. There was no way for you to win this one, not really.
