the strength it must have taken for illario to not immediately go full 'lmao since when have you even had a kiss hello lucanis' sibling violence mode during the café talk. inspirational. rook and lucanis really were doing all that right in front of his salad huh
#lucanis is being SO cringe with that line right out there in public and I would die for him. it's just such a weird thing to say#tbf if anyone in the world is used to the insane things lucanis says and would go 'yes yes lucanis waxing poetic about coffee#in ways normal people reserve for trying to get in someone's pants (the roast won't fuck you lucanis)#we've all heard it' like it's all normal I suppose it would be illario. and also he's too busy with the 'shit fuck shit he's not dead#he's not dead of the family members 'supposed' to be dead we're at two definite failures out of two and woe me if the twain should meet#if that IS a demon in there it sure talks exactly in the same bizarre way only my cousin does#does that mean anything what the fuck do I do who do I kill about this' internal monologue I guess#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#illario dellamorte#lucanis dellamorte#rook x lucanis#rookanis#I mean he does very much say that to a non-romancing rook too which only makes it all the more delightfully odd#is it a very lucaniscore way of testing the waters. is it just how he always talks about coffee. many plausible approaches here#no one forced him to bring up kisses and 'you should try it' out of the blue like that is all I'm saying. he could have acted normal#(theoretically)#i feel there are reasons to read some stuff into it lol#lucanis when rye says he prefers tea: it's so over cautious overture I don't quite understand myself yet gently rebuffed#lucanis when rye takes him up on the 'so what should a first kiss be' theme: oh we're so back!!!! wait. what. what do I do now#what is this#it's kind of really sweet that rook answers with their own playfully florid beverage based barely hidden metaphor at the end too#matching freaks and having fun with it#as far as lucanis is concerned rye's only true flaws are 1) prefers tea to coffee (oh well. no one can be perfect. cross-cultural love#can conquer all even in this) and 2) weird taste in interior design (did we really HAVE to bring your 15 foot tall corpse statues#with us home rook. I can understand a tasteful skull here and there but this seems excessive. well if it makes you happy I guess)

ALONZO. ALONZO YOU CANNOT JUST SAY THAT AND THEN LEAVE ME HANGING COME ON. GIMME CHIBI ALONZO DAMMIT
#metaphor refantazio#Alonzo Crotalus#this game is so good#so good#ALONZO MY BELOVED#I love himmmm#I wanna hang out with him all the time#never wanted to hug a character more#Also I hope he got introduced to Junah at some point. Both of them had lines about Nidias and being natural liars#and being somewhat conflicted about it#also he and Batlin are opposite side of the same PR coin and I love them both

screw it i'm posting the other little chunk of this silly little au thing 'cause i want to and it might motivate me to idk clean it up and finish it yippee!
#cookie run#shadow milk cookie#pure vanilla cookie#shadowvanilla#vanilla milkshake#it ain't obvious but also#tw death#creme university au#i made a passing comment about blueberry yogurt having died in a more metaphorical sense#and my friend said okay but like what if he actually died would that be traumatic or what#and now we're here and i love it so bad cause then -points at mystic flour-#anyway something something shadow milk died and pure vanilla had to bring his ass back to life and its all very tragic#cause he isn't the same person he was before but pure vanilla still loves him all the same#these two make me ill when i think about them im so glad they're married and being domestic they deserve it#so funny to be saying that about a character who in canon is a fuckin' shithead shadow milk i love you so bad

it probably is insane how much I wish I could express the thing about spones. the vibes about spones. Like there's the joking fun fandom vibes and I love them, I love to play with them, of course of course. but the THING. the CORE to me. i wish i could capture it and share it.
#like. the constancy. like the friction matters because it's hand in hand with the steadfastness you know? and it doesn't preclude tenderness#also climbing into the mind of the person you've been obsessed with understanding and being understood by.#and the fact that it's lifelong. and the teasing. and the fact that the growth is in the allowance of imperfections#allowing that imperfections exist in who you love allows you to love them allows you to love yourself#and i always love people knowing what you believe and bolstering it when you feel lost even when it's not their philosophy#(bones asking spock hope? isn't that a human failing? and him not allowing that#spock losing himself to emotion in all our yesterdays and bones reminding him how antithetical that is to him)#but even with all that seriousness - the TEASING. the plain fun. the constant reaching out regardless of their moods#the constant seeking each other out. the almost - given nature of the relationship.#it's not in some ways as dramatic as a Simple Feeling as the When I Think of You I Feel Shame.#it's bones growing into old age the human way one day at a time with spock#when people are like oh spock just put his katra in him because he was there - yeah. and he was always going to be the one who was there#this is why the earth moon sun metaphor works for the triumvirate so much better than sun moon stars imo#bones is the earth spock is the moon kirk is the sun#'the captain was indispensable'#the sun - a distant lifegiver to them and many others. they do revolve around it. have unique relationships to it#the earth revolutes the sun which brings it life. the moon has a face it only shows the sun#and the moon revolutes the earth. their gravity shapes each other. they reach out to each other. they formed in a collision outward#in some ways are entirely different but have the same stuff in them. spin the same.#idk it just makes so much sense for them all.#but even just getting back to them. again just the obsession with each others mind.#'i will never understand the medical mind' 'mathematically perfect brainwaves'#and then complimenting each other always so startlingly out of the blue with their own fields -#'you have a good bedside manner spock' 'perhaps if they had your ingenuity they would have'#the seeking each other's advice out even if it's just to argue with it lmao. the motif of their last words always going to each other#even wrath of khan - we know spock was talking to bones in his head. i do always wonder what was in their tsfs reunion scene#that shatner didn't want to happen.#I don't know and even this isn't the heart of it.#there's the families and the way they fit into each other's conception and value and weight of family#do i even tag this spones. this is just crazy rambling.

everyone talks themselves into a life that suits them best
#i'm sorry the vision is nonexistent but i see it. his wordinggggg is so lila...#l'amica geniale#s4 spoilers#my brilliant friend spoilers#l'amica geniale spoilers#lila cerullo 🫀#franco mari#elena greco 📝#also elena leaning in to listen to him with so much affection. she's hearing lila i am 100% sure of it#she is instinctively responsive to anything lila-like#i hate how the screencap can't capture it. she shifts all of her weight on her arm and leans forward#like she wants to swim in that conversation#i love how... words are losing their meaning links to lila re: the solara article... she arrives to the same conclusion...#but elena refutes their statement. she writes about them. ughhh#also ADORE how visceral franco's description is. literally lila during the earthquake and just lila in general#she's alwasy using bodily fluids as metaphors... infection as a synonym to dissolving boundaries.#like... i can't even#i actually have a more elaborate lilafranco web weave in my drafts that discusses everything i mention in these tags but#i can't really post that yet#ferranteposting

This continues to be one of the best shots in the entire show and I will never shut up about it
#iwtv spoilers#interview with the vampire#interview with the vampire spoilers#iwtv#the storytelling conveyed in this single image???? delicious. incredible.#how long have they been sitting there. did they take these positions because the sun cut that line#or did the sun rise to shine through the curtains and create a wall that was already there but invisible before#and it’s an illusion of equality and an illusion of limitation#because Louis can’t go through it without being hurt but Armand can#Armand is the one framed as being behind this metaphorical wall#this imaginary cell door#but Louis is the only one trapped by it#or is it the distance that the betrayal has caused between them?#the same sunlight that killed Claudia now forcing them apart in the same scene#that Armand says he will make it up to him. wanting to cross through the light that will not harm him#and Louis says he’ll never make it up to him. on the other side of this line that to him is actually impenetrable#does time heal all wounds. the sun will move eventually. the line will shift and disappear#is this ever something that can be erased#maybe it could have been if what Armand told Louis in this scene was true#that he could not prevent it#that’s the impression Louis was under that allowed him to keep Armand in his life all this time l#but no. Armand directed it. he created that barrier#it will always be there#incredible incredible shot I love this show

Obsessed with when fanfictions go like:
Jason: "your son died!! I'm not that kid anymore! You can never have him back!! >:("
Bruce: "I mean, yeah? You had new experiences, made new friends, learned new things and went through a lot of difficult situations. You're human, people grow up, but there are still things about you that will never change, one of them is the fact that you're my son and I will love you regardless of what you choose to be."
#i miss those types of fanfic#there should be more of those#because once i read one i was like "holly shit i'm not the same person i was as a kid and neither is anyone#jason dying and coming back just makes it more metaphorical somehow and bruce not being there to see him growing up makes it sad#so now there's this new person who still have little things about his child self but definitely isn't the same kid anymore#but that's okay because bruce can just meet his son all over again and use those little things to slowly conect with him again#i just really love fanfics like this they tend to make me cry a lot#jason todd#red hood#batman#bruce wayne#batfamily#dc

two of you. always in sync
#you know what i wasnt gonna do this but i rewatched prodigal son and uh. some of the frames made me crazyyyy this time around#and i love imagery it has to be said#its like. this time around i actually Perceived them. and not watched them like. every time liv looks at el its like. she cant believe it#like she's looking at a ghost. like he's gonna disappear any second#and at the same time. she can barely look him in the eye. she looks at him when he isnt watching. lest he sees. lest he recognizes her#and what shes feeling. lest she recognizes that he still knows her and *sees* her even after all this time. and she cant have it. she wont#so she watches him and observes him like shes both memorizing him and recognizing him.especially in that interrogation room... fuck me bro#that metaphor. of her standing right between el and the suspect. up against that mirror. and we're seeing her reflection.#the present liv the captain watching like a hawk and the past liv. right behind her back in the room with el sensing him and seeing#him getting ready to pounce. like the shot of her with el's fists in the background. oh mama. she just knows “do you need a break detective#and then them being literally divided in some of those shots. by the window binds by kathy and space and actual doors#(and her sliding those doors in the first place and then watching from the other side and the cut to her again watching through the door an#OPENING IT???)#and i havent even talked about el lmao. but it's svu it's supposed to be liv centric (well) but anyway#i havent essayed in the tags in so long i forgot to tag this in the beginning oopsie daisy#svuedit#bensleredit#eo#lawandorderedit#svu#benson x stabler#*mine#*svu

I've been picking mostly only the essential flirt options with lucanis in the romance so far (I've personally found the dynamic much more natural and mutual when you do that, more like forming a solid friendship slowly and inevitably becoming something else and less like you keep pushing on him and getting little back b/c he seemingly just gets overwhelmed and goes into freeze instead), and I think rye is a pretty hard person to read at the best of times even though he's been Down Real Bad from pretty early on and their chemistry as people is naturally really good. so the way the almost-kiss plays out in this playthrough feels a lot like it has the added layer of lucanis realizing that no but for sure rook is flirting and not just being kind or a good friend* it IS actually happening it's not just wishful/fearful thinking!!! and then uh. maybe going a bit too hard a bit too fast in all the excitement at that revelation haha
*in lucanis' defense he has seemingly literally never had a friend who wasn't his cousin-brother before, under those circumstances I suppose some confusion is extremely natural if not outright expected lmao
#meanwhile rook is kicking himself for being unprofessional b/c he WAS getting something important from spite there#and also lucanis had like. just woken up was that cool of me. should I have told him. should I have slowed that down???#watcher's duty crashing into watcher's longing blues ensues#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#rook x lucanis#rookanis#I think I might have done something hilarious and a little wonderful to the lucanis romance#by making a rook who's even slower to romance than he is fhskjfhsa#even here I was straight up like 'oh this is a little early for this don't you think' on rye's behalf (it's not we have to be mid-game)#imagine how he'd fare in some of the other romances you'd just bowl him over. davrin might kill him#(and also they would kill each other for unrelated reasons during it but that's another matter (affectionate I love my lads))#lucanis has been squinting at rook in stolen moments ever since the café scene like '...did I imagine that vibe. surely not right.#i'm pretty sure. but am I. I do know he likes me. but DOES he like like me or is that just what I want it to be. this is very embarrassing#for everyone involved' (it is)#davrin has had both their numbers the entire time tho. and been extremely annoyed but professional about it#he knew from the moment these two chucklefucks showed up in his recruitment mission. and has been an adult about it. mostly#even when they've made it real hard ('so I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're not letting the abomination serial killer run around#just because you're transparently excruciatingly sweet on him. right. RIGHT??')#I have accidentally given lucanis a pattern of falling for people who keep covered neck to toe at all times#but like not to be a metaphor for their emotional intimacy issues or anything haha. imagine.#I'm making my own heart so tender by imagining lucanis struggling to get rye out of his (many-layered) robes during the romance scene#and both of them laughing right from the soul in relief and delight at each other b/c like 'how could I kill a god only to be bested#by nevarran fashion. also how in the maker's name do you get dressed so quickly in the mornings this is intense'#'same way one does anything else lots of practice and a can-do attitude'/'well I'll just have to put in the practice then'#and they just hug for a while. *head in my hands* yeah okay I can be normal. I can be normal about this.

ohhh what i would give for another cringe fail eddie diaz speech with a weird metaphor for love
#i love when eddie is a loser#like yes tell your wife how being with her feels like drowning in chocolate#thats a totally normal thing to say when you have totally normal feelings about said wife#anyway#i need eddie to fail to another metaphor soooo bad#i need him to compare buck to juice and for it to not translate at allll#“i always choose water but its not what i really want and i guess what im trying to say buck is that i want the juice”#“you...you want juice?���#“yeah. i think ive always wanted it but never allowed myself to have it. but i want it more than anything...if its available that is”#“...uh okay...i think theres orange juice in the fridge. do you---do you want me to pour you a glass?”#“what no buck i dont want orange juice. i mean i want juice. im choosing juice.”#...#“...so you want me to buy apple juice? or just like a variey? oh how bout that nectarine juice that stuff is good”#but okay whenever eddie fully explained it yk buck would be all 🥺🥺🥺#“oh eddie 🥺🥺 you mean like youre saying that IM your juice youre choosing me 🥰🥰”#whatever weird ass shit eddie says bucks gonna love because theyre the same kind of insane about each other#eddie could be like#buck. youre the hallway light i leave on at night. lighting a path so i can find my way through the dark. warm and bright and always there#and buck would just#🥺🥺🥺 eddie 🥰🥰🥰#me thinks

I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea /
Maybe we'll be there when you want
#bella#fc!bella#lc ocs#art#this is from reinhardt's (branch-wdk53) pov! you cant escape him in my art. i cant escape him#link leads to stranded lullaby - the lyrics are also from there :3#this is around rein's fears about bella being like ryn but is also about the extraction interaction (still love that name)#honestly every piece of this has. so many meanings like. god#let me just redo all this and go through them one by one lmao#the sea: this one's about them being in the same situation. also their issues (the sea will slowly rise; obscuring and drowning them)#it's also about guilt - it can be a blood ocean! the blood of those they let die...#OOOH I JUST NOTICED THIS: bloodbath! since it's a blood sea :3#the halos: the inner one is halfway just for composition half bc rein sees bella as a good person. the outer (hard to see but) tear-shaped#halo is both a drop in the sea (me when the blood sea! when we've let so many die it no longer matters.) and a noose's opening -#like foos's but metaphorically(? lmao) bella's own suicide by distancing herself from her friends and therefore her help/support system#the black spots: represents rein losing her in a way. he knows what's happening but has no idea how to help. also tied in with his#amnesia/memory loss (totally covered; lost info; yknow). could even be from pain or drowning in the sea! who knows! :3c#...........yeah im normal about these two. you can trust me.#i need to make a bella/ritz piece istg... ive been sleeping on them!!!!!!!!#but. i love these two so much. total of 2 interactions and i made the MOST out of them <3#also since im naming all these now since i gotta save them to post em: this one is called lost

watching Nimona again and a moment i missed at first was when Ballister is handed his sword in the beginning he can clearly TELL something is off about it. like as soon as he holds it he frowns and is testing the weight before getting distracted by todd and the arrival of the director and just oof
#anyway it's a metaphor for his life#'hum something feels off but i'm sure it'll be fine if i do everything right'#nimoma#nimona movie#ballister boldheart#also makes a lot of sense since it's implied they've been training with the same swords nearly all their life#anyway ballister is great and i love him#jack.txt

toying with the idea of making yancey's friends not real. would that be too evil
#personal#hear me out. the diner is a mimic and it's toying with the entire town and making people oblivious and just. stuck in time metaphorically#it's known to make people hallucinate it's known to show things that aren't there. it can fuck with technology#yancey has. problems. he's sick with grief and pain and regret and sorrow from his past moving into a strange new town#and there's all these people there in the diner and they all remind him of some part of his life#stevie quite literally reminds him of his ex but stuck in the state before anything happened. stevie is a constant reminder of like#what could have been had they not crossed the line of getting together#his relationship with daphne (friendship mostly but he has a little crush on her at some point) is like#the romanticized version of the life he had in mind for him and his ex. yeah he gets a little bit insane with it but he loves very deeply#freddy is what he wished for his older brother to be like. their friendship is what he wishes he and his brother would be like#rafiq is basically yancey's ideal partner. yukiko reminds him of his younger sister#hell even teddy is connected to him because he and teddy are basically the same person. dealing with a situation very poorly#but teddy WOULD be real since he is part of CALAMITY so his connection to yancey if anything is like. on purpose#he is SUPPOSED to mirror yancey because that will make yancey realize things about himself#that only leaves morrigan as the only other real person in all of this. because she is the only one not connected to the diner#(freddy isn't either but since he's first introduced on the radio as radio host he is sort of connected to the town)#(in like a way the diner could influence that too. you know what i'm saying)#and morrigan's whole deal is that she's so so stuck in the past. trying to get back what is no more. and daphne is her sister#so daphne could even be a manifestation of yancey's and morrigan's shared grief#for yancey the romanticized relationship with his ex. for morrigan her sister who died in the wildfires#are you seeing my vision. the diner is defeated and it's just yancey morrigan and teddy. it's always been#no one else has been real the whole time. they've only interacted with one another or yancey. never with teddy or morrigan#(with exception of daphne who would have interacted with morrigan bc of shared manifestation)#and yancey acts like the others have never existed. because they haven't. and now that he's no longer#under the influence of the diner. he doesn't remember. haha#idk if i wanna go with this because some of them aren't as solidified as concepts as others but man. MANNNNN
