the impression i have rightly or wrongly from "the resident of the boudoir" is that haarlep simply does not leave the bedroom, which had me thinking about things:
the extent of the decadence in there. most of it is raphael's taste, but i think haarlep would drive raphael batshit if haarlep did not have the appropriate amount of enrichment in his enclosure
haarlep spends their whole life eating nice food and sleeping in a nice bed and has a bath so big u can swim in it ... who is the princess here ... (it's still raphael, but haarlep is borderline princess)
i do not get the impression we're supposed to feel sorry for haarlep. it would be very easy with a few tonal changes and suggestions for the game to make it clear that haarlep is miserable and their situation sucks. haarlep doesn't mind making trouble for raphael but doesn't seem to hate him either
wait what other creature gets kept indoors all the time, has to have enough enrichment or they go insane, and has a questionable amount of respect for their person
cat
haarlep is a house cat
haarlep is one of those indoor cats bc if you let them go outside they're going to decimate the local bird population

tiefling astarion because i feel like we were robbed. i have many thoughts about how his story would be so much deeper had he been a tiefling magistrate who made laws that made thr refugees’ lives harder, as a sort of ‘pulling up the ladder behind him’ move. it would also make the apathy he has towards the grove make more sense other than ‘he’s a racist elf’

jenny humphrey gifs: 2/?
#gossipgirledit#jennyhumphreyedit#gossip girl#* jhg#* mine#gifs#god this scene is so dark and grainy and hard to color and the last two don't much but i don't care anymore!!#anyway. idk i'm so struck by  how much more like the jenny of season one she looks here than pretty much anywhere else in the season#like her makeup is a bit more of 'natural' look if that makes sense#her hair looks warmer toned int his lighting#somewhat anyway#and i'm not here to shame jenny or taylor momsen or anyone for that matter! about style choices or wearing 'too much' makeup#it's her choice and she obviously rocks the look#but i wonder if it was deliberate#bc as someone who is watching gossip girl for the first time in 2022#something i noticed was throughout jenny's late s3 spiraling#there seems to be a deliberate emphasis on how young she is?#like. a big part of the reason she likes damien is that she feels he treats her like an adult#only for him to tell her that he Knew she was just a kid after she decides she doesn't want to have sex with him#or even how. the whole episode revolves around a majority of the main cast infantalizing her in a way#i understand they're concerned but this is how it comes across#but like... i really think serena in this episode especially sees how young jenny really is#and not only that. i think she still sees her in some ways as the nice but naive 14 year old girl she met#and in a lot of ways jenny is visually paralleled to serena in the show and i think serena sees herself a bit in her and fears for her#so her sort of. inserting herself into this situation is like trying to protect a younger version of herself in a way#and then in the next episode when jenny gets drugged. one of the guys says 'she looks about twelve' and nate goes to find her#and like. that's an exaggeration  but another clear emphasis on her youth#so like... what was the show doing here#bc to emphasize this but also villainize her and have the narrative so harshly punish her#and the other characters

I got the twilight mirror paraglider fabric as my second drop from scanning wolf link!
Such a pretty design, it doesn’t glow enough to be useful but it looks great!

just had a thought about how ben and i’s relationship evolves from him intentionally flashing me in the face with a flashlight beam to prove i’m ~*~*a liability in the field~*~* because of my eyes, to bernard trigger, where i actually DO get incapped in the field because of my eyes and he drags me out of the fray, even if he does insist it’s only because he’s the only one around,
to much, much, later on where he ends up fully having butcher’s role of gleefully being willing to pop people who take my eyes by surprise with light.

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

i know it’s like years old at this point but i love that one collab mumbo and grian did with tommyinnit bc it’s like the single most concentrated example i’ve seen of mumbo’s Chaos Nullification Powers
you get to see a bit of it on hermitcraft, mostly via his interactions with grian, but until seeing that collab it didn’t really hit me just how completely mumbo can no-sell other people’s attempts to control a situation. tommyinnit is possibly the single shoutiest, most chaotic minecraft youtuber out there, and in most videos i’ve seen he pretty much overwhelms everyone else and sets the tone for interactions because of this. but mumbo just. doesn’t let him. no matter how much tommy escalates in intensity, mumbo reacts with *exactly* the same energy he always does. grian largely comes across in the whole video as annoyed and reluctant to engage with the whole thing, but mumbo’s not even affected. he just rolls with anything he finds funny and basically ignores anything he disapproves of, only seeming more and more unflappable the harder anyone tries to get a rise out of him.
AND imo, this is the key to my favorite interpretation of him as a character
see, when the people around him are being more reasonable/calm, i think mumbo often comes across as anxious and a bit easily overwhelmed. the thing is, his nervous wet cat vibes do not scale. he has one setting. his responses to the last life ‘ah-ha!’ jokes and to hermitcraft 8 starting to crumble to pieces under a falling moon are almost identical.
mumbo jumbo is inexorably and eternally Just Some Guy, but that gets stranger and stranger the weirder his surroundings become. the giggly incredulousness that makes him an easy target for goofy puns looks Very different when it’s also his reaction to the impending end of the world.

Okay but like…. What if instead of using mirrors they had to stuff this whole cast of people into a bus/van
It’d be a little funny
(Also turn up phone brightness to see it better. Or don’t. Idk I don’t control you)

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post
#dc comics#dc#damian wayne#dick grayson#talia al ghul#batfamily#dc robin#nightwing#anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther#like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it#they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc#but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself#anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did#it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios#also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul#you will always be famous to me#son of the demon origin...bwahhh#anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic#but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up#so go look at that as well#anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy#i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!)#so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!)#when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself#it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on#I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue#i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :]#idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups#so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat#mine
