sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go
#the locked tomb#harrowhark nonagesimus#john gaius#harrow the ninth#this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL#this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships#(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think#the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real#but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed)#there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone?#yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't)#the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god#when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care#(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution)#and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on#it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there#while john is -- well he sure is being john huh#this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end#(with john slam dunked right into hell that is)#it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up#john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

Prompt 84
Amity Park absolutely adores her little ghostling, her little Gatekeeper who was of her own ectoplasm, reborn from her own blood in the center of her new heart. She absolutely adores her baby, practically a newborn, being only a year dead!
So of course she had to gush and boast about her little phantom to the other city spirits! They all got together to gossip sometimes after all. And both Smallville and Fawcett started to gush about their own little ones back!
Gosh they should set up a playdate at some point, her little phantom could use some friends in the mortal realm. Well some more friends, three is obviously not enough. Oh, Gotham and Bludhaven have come over as well! It’s a playdate then!
Now if only each of their world’s timelines were synced up, but at least everyone is around the same age!
#dcxdp#dpxdc#City Children Au#Prompts#Each city is from a different timeline lol#Bruce is an angy 16 year old vigilante and was Not prepared to be the oldest#Dick hasn't told them his birthday#and isn't revealing he's older than this Bruce by a few months#Clark is just happy to make friends and he brought pie! his ma and him made it!#Dick is wheezing at these itty bitty versions of Bruce and Clark- this is great and hilarious and oh god he has to protect them#Billy is chanting to do it whenever someone has a Bad Idea- He's just become the Champion of Magic & the gods encourage it#Danny is delighted to have more friends and he's not the oldest Or the youngest so yay!#they're having fun#lots of fun in all their timelines and in the realms too#if they get in trouble they call their city-parents#“Alfred says I'm a polite young man.

SHAUNA SHIPMAN: AN ORESTEIA
#yes everything is about greek tragedies to me what about it#shauna is literally The Epitome of Tragedy i cannot stress this enough#her whole life is drenched in grief#and shame and loss and guilt#THE DESPAIR#what's that quote by khaled hosseini??#about if you had just opened your mouth and said something at that one pivotal moment your whole life might have turned out different??#but you didn't say something?? you stayed silent instead??#also richard siken's someone has to leave first quote that everyone on this hellsite should know by heart <3#That is the Epitome of Tragedy thank u mr hosseini#thank u mr siken#the inevitability of it all. the inescapability. what if you just -#but you didn't. you didn't and that is why you suffer#anyways i was too lazy to find more quotes so these excerpts are from both anne carson's translation of the oresteia#and robert icke's extraordinary modern-day production of the greek tragedy#shauna shipman#shauna x jackie#yellowjackets#parallels#web weaving

Ride 790: Drop of water
Pag 1
1: The lead is here!!
2: It's Higo's climber, third year of the local Kumadai!! Fujiwara Masayuki!!
Kumadai is in the lead!!
Higo... mokkosu!!
3: I'm running solo at the top of the brilliant mountain stage of the Inter High's first day!!
Go, Kumadai!!
Mokkosu!!
4: Not bad!! This is the best condition!!
Pag 2
1: I can see the red bib of the mountain prize!!
I'll take it!! For sure!!
2: Taura-san!! Ise-san!!
4: Manami and Mountain King went ahead and now are passing the climbers one by one!!
Ugh!! Wa!!
Pag 3
1: They keep moving up!!
Ah!? Huh!?
Amazing, their speed is on another level!!
Incredible they can run at such a speed even on a climb!!
Pag 4
1: What's that acceleration!!
Woah, it's Mountain King and Manami!!
They're so fast!
2: Dammit!! I heard that those two are good friends
The two of them are climbing together in “cooperation”!!
4: Aaaaaaaaaa
Pag 5
2: Are you kidding me, you're accelerating on this slope!? You passed me
Ahh, as expected
4: It's such a close range!!
5: That's not it... those two aren't “cooperating”....
Pag 6
1: They're competing while climbing!!
Pag 7
1: It's hard, Manami-kun
For me too
2: My chest and legs hurt
Mine too
3: But I can't stop!!
For real!!
Pag 8
1: Let's go, until we reach the gate on the summit ahead of us!!
2: Beyond our limits!!
Pag 9
4: Amazing... what even are those two
Somehow it feels like their level is different from the other cyclists....
5: Do they both want the mountain prize and are fighting for it?
6: Or is it “something else”?
Pag 11
3: Is it a good idea, Midosuji-kun? We entered the mountain and Moutain King.... Onoda and Manami moved
Is it a good that we didn't send anyone?
4: For the mountain stage of the first day I'd say that everyone has a chance to take the red bib so why don't we let Kiriya... go
I mean...
Water
5: Yes
Pag 12
3: This guy.... Komari... to take the water bottles he has in the back of his jersey.... he put his hand inside from the...
Pag 13
1: back of his neck!!
2: Here
Yeah
4: He poured so much on his head!!
Pag 14
1: The mountain prize is a useless decoration, so why would I want it?
Funatsu-kuun
2: Well
But Sohoku and Hakogaku!! And their main forces stepped out.... Manami and Onoda, right?
4: And?
Well... uhm... we have rules and they have theirs, I guess... yeah!!
5: We just have to watch the movements of Sohoku and Hakogaku's main forces?
While closely observing their movements and strategies
Pag 15
1: 'Cause the finish line is still ahead!!
Ye- yeah
2: Manami and Sakamichi moved
5: For the first day's mountain
Puku, no way
Do you have water for me too?
Don't ignore me...!!
Pag 16
1: To take a useless mountain prize!?
2: Those two want a decoration like that?
4: There's no strategic reason
5: The four-eyes unlike the others.... and the guy who's not a small fry and I can't look down on...
Their reason to fight
6: That's
Pag 17
1: A “supreme scraping”!!
5: The drops of water together
7: The “Inter High”
8: is a place that hits the enhanced body and mind
Here, what those two have always wanted
Pag 18
1: is to “run”!!
2: The mountain line is just an indicator for that!!
Perhaps they wouldn't even feel anything if someone else took it!!
3: The best condition for both of them
4: A one-off chance
5: They'll keep scraping and scraping, using all of their strength and giving their all on this big stage
Just to compete!!
Pag 19
1: Puku!! Useless, useless, that's...
Huh? What? What!?
What it means “friends”!? That!?
2: Ridiculous!? A waste, puku!! Puku puku
F-friends!? Is this another question!?
3: Nothing special....
4: But
5: The only thing I can say
6: Their battle that's unfolding now
Pag 20
1: Its purity... is extremely high!?
Extremely!!
2: To the point that no one can even touch it!!
3: 3km left until the mountain line!!
#yowamushi pedal#yowapeda#yowamushi pedal translations#yowapeda manga#yowamushi pedal manga#yowamushi pedal spoilers#ride 790#big fan of that guy who's so shocked that onoda and manami are competing. while climbing. on the mountain.#during the mountain stage. at the inter high.#like wow yeah thats obviously so shocking#they should have been holding hands instead of racing yeah we all know that#no but srsly what did he expect! you're in a race! of course theyre racing!! asdhsjdfgsdjf#anyway#why is komari like that#like#why.

LOST: Season One
#lost#abc lost#lost one cap per ep#this was a project i was gonna do anyways but the timing worked out that i could post the first one on the 20th anniversary!#this is one cap per ep every season. from left to right. and this is important: its not a cap that sums up each ep#its a cap that REPRESENTS each ep. the way i choose them varies every episode#sometimes its an utterly iconic moment. sometimes it reps the theme of the ep. or it hits with a theme of the character themselves#sometimes the cap i use won't even involve the character whose centric episode it is. trust me. this makes sense#anyways i'll give a good example: for outlaws i was so tempted to use a shot of the judgemental soulful gaze of the boar#or perhaps sawyer in the rain after he shot that man#but! i used that shot of sawyer's dads legs as sawyer is hiding under the bed. i feel it worthy because this moment. this scene#is literally a core part of sawyer. it's a defining moment of his backstory. of his character. so yeah. makes sense yeah?#anyways some eps had Too Much going on (lord i could make one of these for exodus part 1 alone) and some not enough#or well they DID but like lacked in caps that Hit in the way im thinking. thank heavens charlie shot ethan cuz i was worried about that ep#i was like ''aw shit what am i gonna use'' and then an iconic lost moment happened kjhfdsjkhfd#anyways. there are 25 eps in season one. so im really glad that the last ep contains one of the moment iconic visuals/moments in all of los#oh i should add that these caps are unedited. i did not fuck with the colours or saturation in any way#i found 'em and i pieced them together. this is harder than it sounds. i browsed through all the screencaps of every ep of season one#and i will do so the remaining five seasons#some of these were super easy like i knew what cap i'd be using before i even started (eg. do no harm. the moth. in translation)#but some took some real Thinking. and some eps even had several caps that would have worked. this has all been quite interesting#also yeah. y'all already know damn well what cap i'm using for the very last episode

thinking about Susato and Barok parallels.............
#younger siblings to older brothers who turned out to have lied to them and who (almost) became murderes. older brothers fueled by rage and—#—hate and what they considered justice. younger sibling is fighting to protect the justice system's justice even though it doesn't treat—#—them well. younger siblings putting themselves behind their older brothers. accepting and embracing their status as a 'tool'. turning—#—their grief into their mission. betrayed by others close to them (yujin and gregson and stronghart)#aside from all that sad stuff they feel like the same genre of weird girl. i think they should become friends post-canon and after susato—#—has kicked his ass at least once#there is a great fic out there (I think it's called Lost in Translation) which has Susato and Barok interact and it's amazing#i thought up a fic idea about them yesterday. maybe I'll follow up on it someday#i might have talked about this before. i don't know. time is a blur#dgs#barok van zieks#susato mikotoba#tgaa spoilers#spoilers

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??
#okay incoming rant about this series#i read the first book when i was 10 or 11 and i was absolutely obssessed with it. i read it so many times i had the entire story memorized#the issue was that i could not find the rest of the series anywhere. it was either sold out or out of stock#and then i found out that only the first 3 books had been translated into my first language so at that point i kinda gave up on them#anyway#flashforward to a couple of weeks ago#i was re organizing my bookshelf and on the back i found LYKY (is this how y'all are abreviating it??)#and remembred how much i loved it#and since i'm now fluent in english and was stuck at home recovering from a surgery i decided to download the entire series and read it#to find out what the fuck happened afterwards#long story short i read all six books in 4 or 5 days#and i haven't stopped thinking about them since#it's actually so funny how little information we have in the first book#i went all of these years thinking it was mostly a silly series about a boarding school for spies when actually SO MUCH happens afterwards#i can't believe i went all of these years unaware of zach goode's existence#truly character of all time#but also i can't stop thinking about how interesting it would have been if zach had come to hate the circle and his mom during the series#rather than before#make it a true enemies to lovers#and have us witness that portion of his character developement in real time instead of being told about it#like him slowly realizing through cammie and his time at gallagher that maybe what they were doing is wrong#i think it would have been very interesting to read#although let's be real it took me until halfway through book four to trust him and he was fully one of the good guys so..#but yeah i have a lot more to say but these tags are long enough#gallagher girls#okay i just want to add another funny anecdote about my experience with this series#my copy of LYKY has an age warning in the back recomending that readers should be above 13 yo to read it#and i distinctly remember finishing it and thinking the warning was kind of dumb bcs besides a few mentions of death and other heavier topi#nothing really happened#and now i realize it was a warning for the rest of the series not just the first book because jesus fucking chirst everything after

i wanted to put these four together chatting, cooking, dancing, and trust
#witch hat tag#orufrey#sorry for repost of 3 of these images the 4th is new.#based on kitchen chapter 10 and all the emotions that a COOKING SPINOFF gives me. it looks uh. weird. to me. now#but i understand what i mean. always. i like that art can be a way of capturing that for you (and writing)#secrets and food and the one dance we've danced our whole lives and The mountain apple - your heart - the trust i have for you#“If you're the one saying it then it must be true” no offence but yet again official translation chose something paltry compared to that#What if i would die first before i would poison you but what if your trust in me is killing us#What if you're the one who should be trusted wholeheartedly yet still I'm the one who holds back? Who does not take the apple?#What if this is SO evocative of yet so different to the cantarella scene in utena and cai loses their marbles for real this time#drawing wine drops from the apples makes it look like the snow white apple. i cant take it#a week (or 4 days) of randomly trying to be more intuitive with composition or..idk. this weird sloopy brush is good for that. Sloopy i say

I just realized something kinda annoying about engstars, they let Ra*bits call Nazuna "Ni-chan", but Eichi is referred to as "Brother Eichi" :/ I wish they'd just stick with one rather than make it confusing (especially for people that only have/use the official translation)
Brother eichi sounds like they're in a monastery i'll never get over that. I hear gongs in my head every time i read it. Im sorry to anyone that only uses the official translation though:( for many reasons i wont get into cuz i think i'll sound annoying if i do. Anyway. Rinne and Niki calling Anzu sister is funny tho, i'll give eng that, it adds a vague 2010s american gay layer to their characters that was definitely not intentional but it's there now
#ask#anon#every time someone casually asks 'should i download enstars' i have to bite my tongue because well if u wanna get into enstars dont download#the english app#no no. first of all it misses half a decade's worth of stories secondly the translations suck#what youre gonna do is hunt down blogs and use the wayback machine and- wait where are you going...#you wouldnt want to be a casual would you (theres nothing wrong with that considering it's easier to join an actual church than get into#enstars)#(it's just a game but also no it isnt. wait come back yeah you can download the app... well no i wouldnt recommend getting into it like that#)#these tags are a mess

The last song that was written, the last lyrics that were written was (for) the song “Hooked.” It starts off with the line, “I’ve got the fear / I’ve got the human fear.” And I realize that so many of the songs had an underlying theme of fear to them. But not necessarily succumbing to fear, but more like overcoming fear. “The Doctor” is about the fear of leaving an institution, and “Bar Lonely” is the fear of leaving a relationship. “Night or Day” is the fear of committing to a relationship. But fear is fascinating because fear is universal. We all experience fear. We all experience the same fears. But how we respond to it is individual. And that’s how we find who we are, our personalities. And overcoming fear feels good. That’s why we watch horror films or ride rollercoasters — because you overcome fear and then feel very alive for having done so.
– Alex Kapranos on the story behind Franz Ferdinand's latest album The Human Fear for AP
#the human fear#franz ferdinand#probably not bye#音楽#new music#gif#my gifs#i'm having the time of my LIFE with this album#in the past 4 days alone i've listened to it so many times that i swear it's already imprinted in my dna#it's sosososooooo good !!! such a fun compact album !!!#in typical franz fashion almost every song goes in a direction you wouldn't expect#it's like a perfect mix of old & new!#the synthesizer & certain guitar riffs - even the way alex sings - recall some of their earliest songs into always ascending & beyond#like when i first heard cats ! ohhhhh#classic ff but it also reminded me of los bitchos !#yet something about it feels distinctly new too (a small touch of country perhaps?)#i adore everydaydreamer & the little ooohs#'don't put a good dream down' 😭#and if we're talking about lyrics then hellooo the birds !#ending an album all about fear with 'thank you for accepting me despite what i have done?? and the man that i've become???'#alex kapranos. your mind.#can't quite explain it but that song has SUCH a paul mccartney feel to it that i wholeheartedly endorse & love#also so excited by the rebetiko in black eyelashes! singing in greek!!!#one of the fan groups was kind enough to translate & share the phonetic pronunciation in english & spanish so we can sing along :')#which i will be doing this spring when they tour!!!#i can't wait to finally scream along to the doctor !#to experience tell me i should stay live ! (the buildup in that song is incredible & may very well be my favorite)#and to dance !!!!!!!!!#thank you ff what a way to start the year 😌

#i stg being that cute has got to be illegal somewhere#i didn't think it would be possible to make her look even better but here we are#interestingly enough#now that i've played some more actual game instead of just photo modeing my way through ikrie's quest#they didn't change all that much about her animations#quite possibly because they were already at the higher end of what the original game had to offer since TFW was already an improvement#and as much as it pains me to say this#in the end it's really just a minor side quest out in the middle of nowhere a lot of people will probably never play#(you should tho! absolutely worth it. go to keener's rock and enjoy)#so compared to what they did with the dialogue in the main game#this remains pretty much the same#however.#i think it might be due to the updated face models so animations translate a little differently#there seems to be a little more nuance to some expressions#...unfortunately somewhat at the cost of That iconic smirk#oh well. can't have everything#i LOVE how she looks now though this is pretty much what i had in my head the entire time#ikrie#horizon zero dawn#hzd remaster
