#yOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IM REFERRING TO

[paintpaintpaintman]

@fanofthelamb just remember that you asked for this

I'm so serious folks I was like "what can I make you that you'll like that I'll hate" and they said "me making out with kallamar. I would eat that up"

And while I was starting the first few panels I was like "hmm this is fine. I have to hate it. How am I gonna hate this?" AND JUST TRUST ME. IT HAPPENED. SO ANYWAY CONSIDER THE END OF THE BARGAIN UPHELD

It was worth it 🌝

#i need you to know i looked up “eye on meth” for that eye reference #im not exactly what the girlies call a “story teller” but i think i made something horrible as intended #ive ***heard*** anonna is a bit of a hashtag skirt chaser in your cult

that’s really the core of lucifer, i suppose. he knows that something horribly, desperately, unspeakably wrong was done to him. and god did that. so. there’s nothing that can be done but to accept it as it is.

#there’s something about how lucifer is barely. angry. in s5. right? #or like. not outwardly. not explosively. she’s bitter and resentful and mean. but she’s not. she’s not really Angry. #doesn’t yell. only lashes out when provoked (<- thinking of hammer of the gods gabriel scene.) she’s just. doing what she knows she has to. #but at the same time when she talks to sam she tells him to stay angry. tells him she’ll need that anger. #tells nick that god wronged him. tells sam to get angry. and she’s. i don’t know how to put it exactly. #it just stands out to me is all. that lucifer is primarily just sad. that the times that breaks aren’t for her to get furious but for her to #be a little silly. a little joyful. a little indulgent. you know its the flip between genuine sadness over the grave in carthage to smiling #when he tells sam ‘don’t go anywhere! not that you could if you wanted to!’ its the offering of demons for sam to kill and the star wars #reference. #lucifer knows she never really got out of the cage in s5. is what i think im saying. #but at least it got a little bigger for her before she gets put down. #lucifer spn

mike wheeler in the fic I'm reading has exactly as much tact as I did in high school. what can I say sometimes you really do have to learn the hard way that you do not immediately ask your best friend who is also your soon-to-be ex's sibling "nothing's going to change between us no matter how much your sister and i hypothetically hate each other in the future right?" when you're LITERALLY still in the middle of your very messy breakup and they're furious at you secondhand because of #siblingsolidarity. not to mention he handled the break up itself like an ass like go off thank you author i love it truly the representation for us completely oblivious emotionally challenged idiots we're starved of otherwise NO ONE EVER GETS HOW STUPID WE CAN TRULY BE

#girlblogging.pdf #byler #mike wheeler i know what you are #willel #as someone who has a lot of mutual friends with my sister AND as someone friends with a lot of siblings #i obviously love all my friends to death and they love me but #if you have a choice. for future reference trust me do not befriend two siblings pick one if you must #it's an emotional shitshow for everyone involved #you have to give each of them exactly equal amounts of affection and love and everything all the time that's just the rule #you're an ass otherwise #also we will always pick each other over you even if you did nothing wrong #just know what you're in for when you befriend siblings okay it's not easy #you know my childhood ex best friend i keep posting about? we broke up over a fight she had with my sister #also my best friends are siblings and fighting with both of them because it was a both or neither situation in school was The Worst #i have like a zillion more stories just trust me okay #i love my sibling friends to pieces and the mutual friends i have with my sister and i wouldnt trade them for the world #but im sure as hell not befriending siblings simultaneously in the future #my sister and i are literally the tightest now too because our social circles barely overlap #anyway. that was another episode of me projecting way too hard onto byler fanfiction hope you enjoyed #vagueposting the shit out of tumblr dot com

i wish kaigaku wasn't evil i would've loved to see him as the thunder hashira potentially

i think kaigaku should get to continue to commit atrocities because its funny <33

genuinely tho god this is such a Concept because like. yes yes the nuances of good vs evil and potential vs execution but honestly i just. dont think thats something thats fully in the cards for him. because like... his selfishness is such a huge part of Him as a character that getting rid of it just feels like itd make him.. an Entirely Different Character. its a Core Character Trait.

like!!! yeah!!!! i would really love to see him actually get along (or interact at all) with other characters!!! but for him specifically, the fact that hes so genuinely selfish is what makes him so interesting. its less of what he does, and more of how does he get there. personally, of course.

and then, especially with the whole pillar thing, i genuinely do not think that would make him any happier. i dont know what would. i dont even know if he does either.

this is getting away from me but tl;dr: seeing him in a non-(solely)-antagonistic role would be really fun but because of how his character is at a core point, it would have to be something intensely worked towards to make it feel satisfying and not disregard the things that are Very Much Wrong With Him

#pikasks #kny #kny spoilers #again: he Needs to be pushed down several flights of stairs. for Growth(tm). #what makes him so compelling to me specifically is exactly that potential for growth. #i dont know how it would happen; or even if it reasonably could-- #and im not gonna preach some redemption thing bc thats not quite it either. not in the typical way. #hes just always gonna kinda suck. thats just him. its just a matter of how far hes willing to go. #but its not if others are willing to 'forgive' him. its if he has the ability to figure Himself out. if he can Choose to make other choices #am i making sense? #i dont think any of this is really want he wants. referring to power and respect and position and all that. #i think thats just a claim he hides behind because its the only thing he thinks he can reach for. #im not quite describing it correctly but. again. only so much you can do with a character like him <//33

hi last time i scoured court records dot net for all the official gay lawyer content i could find i somehow missed the maya page of the fanbook but i found it today and. height difference franmaya where they're both short queens but maya is an even shorter queen CANON

(for the americans and fellow brits who use both metric and imperial depending on the situation, 154cm is about 5ft and 162cm is about 5'3.5" which i have been losing my mind about for months bc that is my exact height i AM franziska von karma)

#i have known for so long that franziska is my height and have been dying to know maya's height #all i had before was her referring to herself as vertically challenged in professor layton vs phoenix wright #(which btw makes her the only other character to be referred to as vertically challenged. besides franziska in turnabout remniscence) #(so first of all. made for each other. but second of all i compared 13yo franziska's investigations overworld sprite to bratworth's) #(and then compared adult franziska's to edgeworth's. and taking the heels into account franziska has probably grown...) #(...about an inch or so. since she was 13. which is yet another thing she has in common with yours truly. holy shit) #i have been dying to know. what their height difference is. hoping that maya was shorter but only by a little bit. #and i was right. they are exactly as i envisioned #franziska looks tall next to maya but is actually a short queen #5'3'' energy is real and me and franzi both have it #technically she is closer to 5'4'' like she's just under it she's actually 5'3.7'' roughly but. i rounded it down to a multiple of 5 #totally biased here nope #but. let me have this ok #i deserve a little projection as a treat #they also remind me. of my first relationship #im still besties with that first gf #and like franziska and maya we were and still are basically the same person in different fonts #with me the franziska being the more jaded and cynical one with bigger daddy issues #and they the maya being more ''but i stay silly :3'' and having bigger mummy issues #and the height difference is. you guessed it. about the same. although i think the exie is slightly shorter than maya instructions unclear #and despite me appearing more prickly on the inside and them seemingly being small and nonthreatening #while secretly being a powder keg ready to explode at a moment's notice #bc all that rage is kept internal 99% of the time #and them being the one that could like. keep me in line when i was being a bitch #like that moment in trials and tribulations where one glare from maya had franziska actually praising larry's artwork #like i cannot stress enough how much franmaya happened in real life and it was my first relationship #they mean the world to me they are the ship of all time im obsessed #franmaya #maya fey #franziska von karma

hey that post is ominous as fuck. what is your inkling 👀

here's all i can say. make it so billboard big that it goes over everyone's heads from the very start.

#you dont even need to have a creepy encyclopedic knowledge of pete's blogs + poems like i do nor do u have to know about the fact #that so many songs post 2009 reference really fucking old poems of pete's from the early 2000s and this really isn't my place to say #anything but. i havent been wrong before at all so. im just putting this out there so i can gloat in the future over being insane/right #by the end of tour maybe a few months past it. maybe within 1.5 years. something will happen and i know exactly what they're gunning for #again it's not a bad thing. it's a GOOD THING. in fact. i'm thrilled. but. if u dont come to these conclusions on ur own im not giving #them out. bc it's all really right fucking there to piece together if u know exactly what threads to pull and what to press. and the #picture that comes together? so startlingly clear. #anon

The funny thing about playing BG3 right after its release is like. Usually with RPGs I obsessively look up the dialogue for every interaction to make sure I choose the Right Thing but since this game just came out those kinds of guides just... don't exist yet. Like sure I can look up general walkthroughs for different quests, but there's not any articles detailing the approval/disapproval rating for every character on each individual dialogue option like there is for, say Dragon Age, so I'm having to actually fuck around and find out for once

#rambling #my urge to research all the dialogue choices before picking anything is bc of the autism im sure #when you live a life where its very difficult for you to know the right thing to say and you often get misinterpreted #its nice to have a break in a fantasy world where you can know exactly how youll be interpreted and be confident you chose Correctly #if these resources already existed for baldurs gate i would 100% be doing the same thing rn #(even tried a few times with no luck lol) #but since they dont... im actually like. playing the rpg as an rpg for once. and im having FUN with it too #figuring out my characters voice from the perspective of what they would say instead of the outcome i want them to get #making choices with the same knowledge they have about the situation instead of acting as some sort of omnipotent puppeteer #its funny that its taken me this long to just. play a game normally ahdjsksk. and really im doing it against my will. but i like it! #this is also the first time ive actually played something right after it came out #usually i end up waiting like months or years after the hype dies down before i get into it bc i just keep putting it off #playing a new game as it comes out without like a librarys worth of wiki articles to reference is an entirely new experience for me lol #who knew it could be fun? #(AN: the answer is Everyone Who Is Normal)

I had a gut-dropping tinge of a theory about the use of “puppet” when referring to Accord and now, knowing what we know about the Cage being the [redacted], and the implications from the game/anime/Pearl Harbor with N2 being a manipulator this whole time in regards to YoRHa…

Are the Watchers (or whoever is currently representing them - N2, perhaps?) manipulating Accord? 🤔

But then would she be omniscient (or omnipotent - I can never recall which one) enough to know, given she can see across all timelines?

#I’m going to be sick about this #we all know how Particular Yoko Taro is about using words #even if they’re not 100% obvious #the distinction between Android and Machine while technically being of the same thing #but here we have Puppet #which also leads me To the Library in SinoAlice being considered #in the nier canon #and how the two things we are met with are Puppets #which might just be irrelevant overthinking on my part so #these are the thoughts I have at 7am #‘she must be thinking about someone else’ no im thinking about how DrakeNieR violently fisted me and i #said thank you with big open arms and legs #why is Accord referred to as a Puppet #perhaps that is what they’re called in the Kingdom of Night #my… drakeneories (drakenier theories) #why exactly is Accord so invested in the Branch when the Cult is formed #do you think there’s some big cat and mouse game between Accord and the Watchers???

Alfred and Gordon starting an Exasperated Brucie Wayne's Babysitters Club

They have a Facebook page.

#brucie wayne #like he's sooooooo competent as Batman and then Jim finally gets The Reveal and thinks 'oh okay so Brucie is just like. a front. #its all perfectly calculated.' but then NOPE turns out that when he's out of the cowl that YES it is an intentional front #but NO it is NOT calculated at ALL the man knows exactly When and Where to be Brucie but he grew up a BILLIONAIRE in SOCIALITE society #he has NO frame of reference for the HOW MUCH theres so much going OVERBOARD and Gordon is just like... oh... oh god... this is the man im #trusting with my city??? this is the BATMAN???!?!!!? #BRUCE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU HAVE PATROL IN TWO HOURS. GET OFF THE CHANDELIER BEFORE YOU HURT YOURSELF. #'but im batman 😜' 'YEAH AND YOU BUSTED YOUR ASS ON A SKATEBOARD LAST WEEK.

today im watching the maltese falcon for the first time and the way they all talk so fast is incredible. also bogart calling falcon girl his "own true love" after knowing her for approx two days AND while his ex-partner's widow keeps calling the office over and over because SHE thinks he's in love with her is absolutely astounding

#me 🤝 humphrey bogart: calling people angel #also cool to see peter lorre in the flesh after seeing so many different caricatures of him in other movies #its funny to think about the layers of references cultural touchstones acquire over time #copies of copies of copies. yknow #i'm not exactly articulating what i mean but you know what i mean. #chatpost #ive watched over half the number of movies this month than i did the entire last YEAR! isnt that crazy #but im on a roll its old movies month #i like the blonde receptionist a lot

People will be like 'We need better depictions of abuse in media! Its always so romanticized' but when something accurately depicts stolkholm syndrome the victim is just referred to as a 'simp'

#sorry if this comes off as vagueposting. i promise its not #im sure some of you will know exactly what fandom and character im referring to here #delete later

[knightzp]

im halfway thru meteor impact and im really really liking it btw

#i think i did good for reading it last bc there are a lot of references to all the other remini stories so it all ties together so well #i feel it gives a bigger picture of the whole war much better than the other stories and its so nice seeing everything connected now..... #also didnt exactly know the details behind the whole kanata is a god thing. and wow this is a lot more than i expected #i love you kanata i love you chiaki im so scared of whats going to happen i know this isnt going to end well

CELEBORN AND CELEBRÍAN IN THE RINGS OF POWER

spoilers!!!!!!

Galadriel appears to be very much unmarried and unattached so there will likely be no mention of Celeborn until at least season 2 (if at all) and Celebrían much later.

Altogether EXTREMELY funny and the exclusion of Celeborn is something that JRRT himself would have probably been very eager to see.

#rings of power spoilers #celebrian #Celeborn #IM FINDING IT SO FUNNY THEY DIDNT EVEN ‘off screen wife’ HIM #HE JUST DOESNT EXIST #ITS TOOOO FUNNY HAHHAAH #I feel like it would have been so easy to just refer to him and Celebrían as off screen far away #but no they absolutely won’t do that #and once you see ep 1 and The Boat Scene you’ll know exactly what I mean 💀

what's funnier for a meet-ugly fic. if it's a meet-ugly from the start ("we first met each other in a holding cell") or if it starts cute ("my grocery bag tore open on the street and they helped me pick everything up, also I got their number") and then gets ugly ("I didn't call them because I was busy and five days later we met again, in a holding cell")

#warning. long tags that got wildly off topic real fast. there's caleb meta in here #I think it's the difference between them being like 'huh. who's this guy' and the spiderman pointing meme #fic im writing doesn't have this thru a ship lens but it has a similar thing except like. it's a meet ugly where they don't exactly meet #but they see each other #smash cut four years later spiderman pointing meme in a holding cell YOU. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE #pov you're trying to convince everyone you're interacting with (while in the holding cell) (well. a dungeon) that you're an assassin from #another country but your mother in law is in the next cell over and she CLEARLY recognizes you and does NOT believe the show you're #putting on because context from the prev time you were around each other states you are not loyal to that country and that you are also a #lying liar who lies shamelessly at the first chance you get if you think it'll get you what you want. and it's making shit complicated #because she visibly wants to ask questions about why the hell you're here but you're under surveillance so she's just staring holes into #ur skull and she doesn't know she's your mother in law. this is the funniest thing I've ever written #it's a HARROWING experience for caleb in the fic. he is terrified out of his mind. but also. it's so so funny. my guy why did u do that #'caleb is a master manipulator' common misconception! he is a conman and scammer! he wishes he could operate on pure unfeeling logic and #intellect but sometimes and even oftentimes he is made of 80% panic minimum and then he commits to the bit #it's a very nuanced complicated situation etc etc but honestly a large part of it is also deirta being like what the fuck is this guy's #plan. why the fuck is he even here. and caleb's internal monologue is 'do NOT accidentally call her mother. do not do fucking not' which #is if anything making it more difficult to not call her mother. big fan of the way he refers to elders with titles I 100% think he would #call her that if he and essek were officially together. 'caleb has good social skills and awareness' common fucking misconception he is a #conman and scammer and knows vaguely what to say to get what he wants or more often how to direct attention away from what he's doing but #when he's just Being Caleb he gets to the fuckin point and that lady is his mother in law and he would refer to her as such even if #that's. a fascinating choice to make given everything about essek and also the lingering political situation between the empire and dynasty #I love caleb sooooo much I think he makes a good few snap decisions that are objectively DEEPLY unhinged and I think abt that a lot #calebs not a stable guy! I think it's rlly interesting how not stable he is even when he's doing well he has a few screws loose up there! #this is coming from someone who can relate to the irrational thinking that mental illness does I think he just sees point A to point B and #Does Shit. that's why he fireballs people when he knows it's going to trigger him. it's why he told essek to get it together instead of #killing him- he saw an ally. his morality and his decision making skills are removed from normal logic bc fuck normal logic he's caleb #widogast (sometimes- he goes by a fake name and considers himself entirely seperate from bren while he also holds himself accountable for #the crimes that bren was manipulated into committing) and its why he's Like That and I think he's neat. #I'm done now. what is this.

*tevye voice* but on the other hand, it is impossible not to acknowledge some of the particularly christian themes in the wrath of khan--

VULCANS?! #coded as jewish? christian? japanese? lets take a vote #in which everyone voting only votes for the group they belong to because they see similarities between their cultural experiences #and outlooks and spock's. #which. let me clarify. is a GOOD THING. me seeing some vulcan practices as distinctly japanese and others seeing it as something else is #WONDERFUL and exactly what star trek is about. would just. love to see the diversity of responses i'd get if i asked what people saw in #vulcans. i know some of the specific jewish elements nimoy brought to the table in his characterization of him re: the rationalists and #kabbalists/the greeting being a blessing #but im not interested in canon #im interested in what people see of themselves reflected in the vulcans #as individuals #captain's log #trek #i forgot what i was talking about #im writing abt the genesis planet for a big secret ent project and referred to it in my head as the 'jesus planet' and then went. that's #rich for someone who just said that vulcan philosophy more closely mirrors buddhism than western religions #because its uhhhh where spock was resurrected #hi everyone #whats going on with all of you
