#A fantastic experience

[kronos999]

After many frustrating years of seeing my fav babygirl Jonathan Harker be dismissed as boring, Dracula Daily is such a gift. And I'm getting to experience it again because Tumblr has decided to make this an annual event.

Love to all of you with your meta posts and art and memes.

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

People think that Stray from Anapurna is badass. I think Gorogoa is badasser.

Wanted to share this on my own too - so incredibly honored and proud to have made this cover for Mezzo, a new story from @swaps55. A fitting reveal for N7 Day, and one of my favorite things I've done to date!

The fic, by the way, rocks.

Made myself tear up thinking about Girl Dad Sylus. He'd give his little girls the unconditional love he never had growing up, and (hopefully) in the process heal his inner child 🥹

And additionally...

Sylus' kids will be the first people in his life that'll love him from the very start. Everyone else has at some point wanted to hurt, use, or kill him. Or hated his guts/been disgusted by him 💔 (that part in the main story still wrecks me, his expression is so heartrending, you can so plainly see the devastation on his face. I genuinely think he cried afterwards, when he vanished for a bit. And now I am crying too from thinking about it 💔💔)

But his children will not once in their lives view him with fear, or disgust, or ill intent. Instead, they'll look at him with stars in their eyes from the very moment they begin to be aware of and recognize their surroundings.

Like everyone else, their little hearts will start pounding faster at the mere sight or sound of him. However, not out of terror, but elation, and the purest form of love, their short legs toddling towards him as fast as they can, chubby arms eagerly reaching for him. Not to do him harm, but to give and receive affection. A gesture which Sylus will always reciprocate without a second's hesitation, his strong powerful arms enveloping his babies with a gentleness and care that seemingly belies his imposing exterior, but which in reality is representative of who he is and has always been at his core: A warm and kind person who wears his heart on his sleeve, who loves with everything he's got, and whose soul smells like flowers. A man who despite his wealth and power never trampels on the weak, and who although "it may not look like it" is truly "very good at looking after people". Had society bothered to look beyond his appearance and his reputation, it too would have discovered this. Instead, it chose to cast him as a monster more terrifying than a wanderer, and that is the role Sylus has been more or less forced to play ever since, and how he has been viewed for most of his long life, even initially by the people that are now closest to him.

But never by his children. In their eyes, Sylus won't ever be a fiend nor an infamous criminal — Sylus will always be their Protector. Their Hero.

Their Daddy.

And to someone who has forever been labeled as a villain or a demon, these terms will surely be more precious than all the most valuable gems and stones in the Universe put together.

David Tennant and Cush Jumbo in Macbeth at the Harold Pinter Theatre - November 21st and 22nd

...for Tennant Tuesday (or whatever day this post finds you)

I finally got to see Macbeth, and it was just as mind-blowingly fantastic as everyone has been saying. Brilliantly done. The headphones really did heighten the experience, allowing us to hear murmurs and whispers as well as laughter (and crying and screaming). All of the actors were incredible. I experienced it once from the 2nd row stalls and once from the 1st row of the dress circle, and it was amazing from both vantage points.

Cush was still recovering and did not do stage door the nights I was there, but David came out and signed and was lovely to absolutely everyone.

p.s. it's been said a hundred times but apparently always needs to be said again: you're free to think ARR is bad (If You Actually Played It) but omg don't go around presenting it like it's the be-all, end-all, undisputed, unbiased, objective truth.

I'm forever glad I played when it came out and didn't have to deal with that shit because I can't imagine what it's like to be told over and over 'the game starts bad but just keep going'.

If people hadn't absolutely loved ARR we wouldn't be here now.

Sorry for being dead I was in Florida.

imogen fumbling shit is just eternally good fodder for memes, alright. and its at least partly BECAUSE of how powerful she is. someone tripping while using a nerf gun? funny. someone dramatically hoisting up an outfit matchin heavy death laser gun and then immediately tripping and landing on their face? phenom. sometimes she goes "GROVEL" and the enemies grovel and we all go "oooooh" and "aaaahhh" and sometimes she just gets fully ignored and gets so huffy and petulant and ineffectually burns a cantrip just to be petty about it. sometimes she smites her enemies into dust with one move and renders a tree in half after threatening and other times she fucking. falls down a flight of stairs and accidentally sets everything on fire. fires a gun at her own team. loses all her hair. turns blue. etc.

Imogen lifts a humongous sand squid into the sky with her mind powers. Imogen is also falling out of a sky ship and landing on the desert sand far below and just. lying there. while her friend plays the flute in the background. epic hot failgirls NEED the HEIGHT to FAIL FROM. u gotta swing and miss sometimes!!! AND you gotta be REAL petty about it when u miss!!!! fucking fantastic.

One of the reasons Deadpool & Wolverine worked so immensely well is because we, the fans, didn’t know ANYTHING about the cameos and spoilers. Does marvel/disney, or obsessive media outlets, realise that WE DONT FUCKING WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING?????? Don’t tell us what’s going to happen or who’s going to show up PLEASE I AM BEGGING!!! We are patient, we want the payoff of being patient. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHICH MIRACLE IM GOING TO WATCH COME TO LIFE PLEASE FUCKING SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

don’t speak

[varyathevillain]

no joke but what I really want for Buddy Daddies as a fandom is to make fanart and fanfic post present time ep12 where Rei wears an arm orthosis when working.

I think varied disability aids being represented would be fantastic, and personally would write Rei as someone being deeply proud of something he's done for his family, but also understanding with time that using an orthosis also helps him at work and in raising Miri. with a giant portion of mobility/motorics aids being represented by prosthetics, seeing more variety and exploring it in fiction would also help making a step in normalising disability treatments.

Random Thought before bed:

Imagining your favorite twst chara with an s/o who loves to paint and draw. They're working hard on a beautiful piece, and because they want it to come out perfect they're working day in and day out with few breaks. Tears of frustration and self doubt infest their mind, and your favorite twst chara tries to comfort them during those relapses. He offers them food, water and a shoulder to rest their head on so they can sleep well and try again when they're feeling better.

And after all the blood sweat and tears, the painting comes out finished. S/o still doubts it being perfect, but his reassurances helps them feel proud that it came out wonderfully.

Day 4 of my obey me advent calendar is snowmen and Levi!! I also realised I didn’t do any starry sky prompt in my list, so I’m probably going to compensate that by having it be the bg of a few things lolll

Originally, he was gonna be ‘Christmas music’ and Asmo was gonna be snowmen, but I realised I didn’t actually know how to make Levi do Christmas music? How do I portray that? So gave him in the fugliest colour scheme ever making a ruri hana snowman with mc making a snowsheep

He hath stolen MCs bow so they have scarf
