#And I haven't seen anyone post this on tumblr

[sk-touchthesun]

It has been a bit over a month since the first time I watched Dead Boy Detectives and I now have watched it from start to finish four times. Oops. I don't know how that happened—I certainly wasn't prepared for this level of love for a series.

Since I haven't really been in any fandoms or tumblr in, like... ten years or whatever, I wanted to write about why I fell in love with Dead Boy Detectives when I saw the series for the first time. I don't know if anyone's interested in reading a long-ish post, but in case you are, buckle up because this is going to be pure love and positivity from start to finish. It's mainly about Edwin and Charles, though.

I started watching the show without any background information and never having seen the Sandman either. I rotate streaming services and it was Netflix's turn. I read queer fiction quite a lot and watch queer movies and series as a hobby, and remembered someone mentioning Dead Boy Detectives.

The beginning on the series was intriguing enough already, but it was during this scene that I knew I was going to watch the entire thing:

This leads me to the reason I love the series so much: the carrying force of the story is the love Edwin and Charles have for each other, be it platonic or romantic. I'm a sucker for themes like found family and being loved as your authentic self because that's something I crave. I have always been more or less lonely because of social anxiety and struggling with social situations. Perhaps that's why stories containing those themes have such a profound effect on me each time.

Of course, the way the series combines elements of horror and comedy with heartwarming and wholesome sweetness is delightfully refreshing in itself. Dead Boy Detectives kept me glued to the screen so that I finished it in a day the first time I watched it. However, the characters are what makes the show so brilliant. I think the cast in general is phenomenal, but it's the love between Edwin and Charles that I felt most while watching.

This obviously is where I have to praise George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri for their acting. I think it's largely thanks to them that I love Edwin and Charles so much. Their characters' chemistry and the fond way Edwin and Charles interact with each other in the series is something I felt viscerally right from the beginning. It's obviously ingrained in the overall plot, but the love can also be felt in the smallest gestures. How many shows do you have where your favorite character dying is one of your favorite moments in the series because it's so sweet? (I'm sure you can deduce my favorite character from this...)

Personally, I also think that George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri's acting is particularly spellbinding during the moments their characters break down and show raw emotion. In an odd way the characters' suffering is what makes episodes like The Case of the Devlin House and The Case of the Very Long Stairway so brilliant. The characters' emotions during their most vulnerable moments are so tangible.

I know there has been talk about how season two would look like if the series was revived, and honestly, I think there's one crucial thing that should be kept as it is or the entire thing would be ruined: the carrying force of the show being that Edwin and Charles are willing to do anything to not to get separated.

I can't see any universe where someone becomes more important to the two main characters than what they're to each other. Charles says that Edwin is the only person he'd go to Hell for. We know how Edwin feels. The love is there already. If either of them had a long-lasting romance with someone else, the love interest would get two with the price of one. Equally important? Well—possibly. Love isn't finite. More important? Never.

I'd like to see Edwin and Charles get together, though. They're like an old married couple already and I can't imagine them being together with anyone else in the long run. At least the first season left things open enough for interpretation, with the cancellation and all.

Last but not least, it's a bit crazy that I only saw the show for the first time a bit over a month ago and was ready to splurge on a cameo. It was my birthday during the gameoden week and I got a birthday message! It was very sweet and has cheered me up ever since. I'm not sharing it here because I feel it's a bit personal with my birthday and all, but I loved it.

In case you ended up reading all this, thanks for reading my love letter for the show and the characters and the actors!

Third Version of Orlando 2024 Main J2 Panel (Published by PhoenixFire_RN)

I haven't seen this version posted yet, it looks like it went up a couple hours ago, so I thought I'd add it to the Tumblr collection. Apologies if I'm duplicating someone. I've only watched a tiny bit, but it looks like the video quality may be a little better than the others. This video is in two parts.

Part 1 - Direct Link

Part 2 - Direct Link

I still haven't seen any news of anyone filming Gold. I'm preparing to travel for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, so I'm going to stop checking so frequently.

I saw a post from this vidder saying they also got the JDM panel, Misha's panel, and the Matt & Adam panel, so if you've been waiting for any of those they should show up on their channel eventually. (There are a couple other versions of Misha's panel out there already if you missed it.)

the palestinian relief bundle had some unexpected backend issues so its availability was delayed, but it is now live and will be up for the next week! please consider getting it—it's only $8 for over 300 games (though if you can donate more than the $8 minimum, please do)!

there is already over $165k donated as of me writing this, which is amazing!

Guys there is something REALLY WEIRD going on with these storms in the midwest.... I've been checking a bunch of local weather stations in those areas, but none of the meteorologists have predicted a storm this size or devastating. It really feels like it just came out of nowhere and that doesn't seem possible?? Like I don't want to start a conspiracy theory that it was made by government or something but it just doesn't feel natural?? am i the only one who thinks this is weird???

Here's some art I drew last night for @superbfirnacho 's 300 Follower Whiteboard. They turned out pretty good imo, considering how simplistic the software is. (I still prefer clip studio lol)

I keep meaning to draw my other fae characters but I was suffering from art block for a few months. Maybe now I'll be inspired to actually try designing them and actually finish her story?

Aiura Mikoto - Moving on from the gyaru look [2/2]

[part 1]

At a certain arcade Teruhashi Kokomi: Hm~ After all, would a double pose purikura be the best for appearance, I wonder..?

Teruhashi Kokomi: (That's right...If I'm going to do it, it has to be perfect.) Saiki Kusuo: Good grief, I got worried so I followed her, but...

Aiura Mikoto: Oh! As expected of Terukoko! Yeah, yeah, the twins-style double pose is trending in videos~ Aiura Mikoto: A double pose with Terukoko will seriously boost the vibes~ We gotta make it extra, right♪?

Saiki Kusuo: What language are they speaking? Double pose? What's that? Aiura Mikoto: (Wow~ Such an amazing scent...)

Aiura Mikoto: (Though I super respect Terukoko, I thought doing a pair purikura with her would be like a public execution, but...) Aiura Mikoto: (We're actually pretty good!)

Teruhashi Kokomi: (Aiura-san is friendly without being sarcastic.) Teruhashi Kokomi: (After all, I wonder if it's easier to enter Saiki's territory with a close sense of distance like Aiura-san's...)

Saiki Kusuo: Well, I don't really get it, but they seem to be getting alone, so I guess it's fine. Aiura Mikoto: Hmm, and then edit the skin, make the eyes bigger, put in coloured contacts~ And a tipsy-looking blush...

Aiura Mikoto: Got it...! Terukoko is seriously on a different level!! The stable mega-enhanced gyaru is complete! Aiura Mikoto: She's beyond just cute now!

Saiki Kusuo: Hey, hey. With her aura is at its fullest, there's almost nothing showing up in the photo other than the light source. Aiura Mikoto: Alriiight! Now it's the doodling time!

Aiura Mikoto: Terukoko, write the name of the person you like here~ I'll create a love umbrella for you! Teruhashi Kokomi: Huh? A person I...like!?

Teruhashi Kokomi: (No way, no way, no way!) Talking to Aiura-san about Saiki would be...!) Teruhashi Kokomi: (If, by some miracle, my guess turns out to be correct and Saiki's type is girls like Aiura-san, if that fact was revealed...)

Teruhashi Kokomi: (Th-That kind of thing...It'd be unbearably sad... I could no longer exist in this world...!!) Saiki Kusuo: No, that's not the case.

Teruhashi Kokomi: N..No, I don't really care about that....Ahahaha. Aiura Mikoto: Huuh~ Even though I went out of my way to do fortune telling for you...

Saiki Kusuo: Oh, it seems their girl talk is really blooming. Saiki Kusuo: Well, Aiura probably will guide the conversation well from here, so I think it's time to go home.

Aiura Mikoto: Kyaha! This was fun, right~ If you're alright with it, let's come again! Teruhashi Kokomi: Yeah~

Aiura Mikoto: Terukoko is super cute no matter what she does~ Just walking together is super exciting~ Teruhashi Kokomi: (Aiura-san... She looks hard to talk to, but she's a good person.)

Aiura Mikoto: By the way, about the continuation of our love talk... Teruhashi Kokomi: ...Huh!? (Wh-Wh-What's this suddenly...!?)

Aiura Mikoto: Shall I do love fortune telling for you? Teruhsahi Kokomi: Ummm... Th-Th-Th-That's. well, because~

Aiura Mikoto: You think I wouldn't notice that there's someone you like!? (Well, in Terukoko's case it's totally obvious even without looking.) Teruhashi Kokomi: ......Hmmm~ Th-there's someone I'm just a little bit interested in... ......That's all.

Aiura Mikoto: Woow~~ Her shy face is also LL-size cute~~!! Amazing~! Aiura Mikoto: Alriiight! Leave the fortune telling to Miko-chan♪ I won't do anything bad.

Aiura Mikoto: Hm~...The person Terukoko likes probably~ Aiura Mikoto: He likes people who are true to themselves!! Also... Someone strong who doesn't get swayed by a situation!

Aiura Mikoto: In other words, he probably likes a strong-willed girl that doesn't bend her style, right? Teruhashi Kokomi: Huh...Then...Just the same as always...?

Saiki Kusuo: Is this okay? Not only resolve Teruhashi-san's madness, but also tell her that we've got the worst combability. Aiura Mikoto: Ah, that's right...But the combability is about 2%? It says you're an absolutely terrible match... Hey, are you listening!?

Teruhashi Kokomi: (That means... I can just me myself? Right...?) Aiura Kokomi: Heey...?

Teruhashi Kokomi: (Haha, what am I doing... I'm just fluttering around...I'm so stupid.) ...The next day

Kaidou Shun: Ahhh! Teruhashi-san has returned to her saint mode!! The usual Teruhashi-san, not gyaru, is back!! Teruhashi Kokomi: Well, I was just going with the vibe, or something like that?

Nendou RIki: Oh!? She's still speaking with a bit of an accent, how cute! Saiki Kusuo: It's not an accent, it's gyaru slang.

Teruhashi Kokomi: Fufu, Aiura-san, thank you for yesterday, i gained a bit of courage! (Well, I already knew it, though♪) Aiura Mikoto: Eh...Um? What was it...Ah...That's right!

Teruhashi Kokomi: Yeah, let's hang out after school again♪

Aiura Mikoto: If Terukoko is happy, I'm happy too! Something like that? Aiura Mikoto: (It seems like I became super friends with Terukoko and we might have a chance to hang out, this is the best!

Aiura Mikoto: (Kusuo~! Next time the three of us will go to Sweets Paradise, it's settled~! I'll forgive you this time's favour~) Saiki Kusuo: Good grief, this is incredibly incomprehensible. You can't read a woman's heart even with telepathy... END

#would like to hear about your Egypian theory#does it relate to ba and ka and how the physicality of the cavalier's soul seems to survive the consumption and integration @mayasaura

It does a little! There was a theory a while back about the Eightfold Word being the cavalier's name, which did absolutely make my egypt senses tingle. You can read through a list of the Ancient Egyptian conception of the soul and find such bangers as "A person's name was an essential aspect of individuality and central to one's survival after death" or "The kꜣ (ka) 𓂓 was the Egyptian concept of vital essence, which distinguishes the difference between a living and a dead person, with death occurring when the kꜣ left the body" or "In the Egyptian religion, the heart was the key to the afterlife" and then you can cry a little about Kiriona -

But admittedly that's the kind of stuff that can be found in plenty of philosophies.

I'm more focused on the fact that every single lyctor can be mapped onto a major Egyptian deity, and every plot line so far onto a major Egyptian myth.

John and the OG Lyctors are the Great Ennead, with the Resurrection as the Heliopolitan Creation Myth. The Mithraeum follows the Journey of Ra through the underworld.

Harrowhark is Horus, and her fight with Cytherea mirrors the conflict between Horus and Set.

Alecto is Sakhmet, Nona is Hathor, both of them the Eye of Ra; Nona the Ninth is the 'Myth of the Distant Goddess' to a point where I'm embarrassed that I didn't realize so before the book came out.

Ianthe is Thoth.

(If you want to read my full 4000 word essay on it here you go, but that's the gist of it. Even more random ramblings under my tag #the egypt agenda.)

Just a Goodsmile Pop Up Parade Vash appreciation post, don’t mind me.

[ysphcpb]

I’m glad to see more love for SOTUS! I think it’s still one of the best-written series in terms of character development, especially when you include SOTUS S and Our Skyy since you get to see them and their relationship develop over several years.

I’ve always been confused by people who say Krist isn’t a good actor. Nuances aside, his actual personality (loud, energetic, extroverted) is nothing like Arthit’s, and he was very young and new to acting when he took on the role of Arthit (quiet, restrained, shy).

Can you talk about your favorite acting moment from him in any of the SOTUS parts?

Same here, SOTUS (+ sequels) is one of my favourite shows for so many reasons, and one of them is how coherent and organic the character development is. I feel glad to have found these characters and been able to follow their story ♡

I had actually seen some instances of irl Krist, also had seen him in I'm Tee Me Too (so I already knew he's definitely not a bad actor), but it was how he handled SOTUS' Arthit - a much more colorful character - that really impressed me. I did try to narrow it down but can't pick just one acting moment that I like most, so here is a list instead 😅

1) SOTUS - EP.7

The way his voice quavers took me by surprise when I first watched this. I realised then that Arthit wasn't only touched by what the freshmen did and finally recognised them as his juniors, but he was also probably emotional that his days as a headhazer were coming to an end. Might have been a great responsibility he got talked into taking, might have been the busiest months he'd had to juggle studies and hazing activities, and could not comfortablly be himself, but still an unforgettable and meaningful experience for both him, his friends and his juniors.

2) SOTUS - EP.13

I love Arthit's hesitation before finally asking his question. From how I see it, he was worried if Kong could accept him and his self-perceived bad sides, if their relationship could even work, and if it's worth this risk of losing whatever seniour-juniour bond they were already having. In my view, he wasn't just struggling to decide whether he wanted to and was ready to be with Kongpob or not, but also worried whether Kong was ready to be with him, as well.

3) SOTUS S - EP.3

I adore Krist's choice of expressions and line delivery here. Arthit stops midsentence, comes up with a way to go around it, then agrees with himself, as if genuinely expecting Kong to find it convincing (Kong does not). This scene makes me smile everytime, I can't help but wonder to myself how could a person be this endearing.

4) SOTUS S - EP.12

This was more of a Singto scene (👏👏), but I also love Krist's reactions a lot. That initial look of betrayal and hurt quickly softens, then he looks away, engrossed in thoughts again. The lack of Arthit's inner voice in the series gives so much room for interpretation, but I see this as Arthit's realisation that perhaps his way of showing love and how private he prefers their relationship to be has failed to make Kongpob feel loved and assured. And that perhaps he's even more unfit for Kong than he already thought.

5) SOTUS S - EP.12

I could easily see and feel Arthit's anxiety here, but also his determination. He's not avoiding or running away anymore, since the person he loves got hurt because of it. It isn't easy for someone like Arthit to announce their relationship in front of the whole company, many of whom do not know him that well and probably have been gossiping about them since the incident. I feel so proud and admire his courage a lot.

6) SOTUS S - EP.13

I love Arthit's excited smile and the loving way he looks at Kong here, it's not something we get to see often. It's so heartwarming to see Arthit beaming with happiness and so certain of their future, that there's really nothing to fear anymore as long as they have each other.

7) Our Skyy - Arthit Kongpob

I thought the change of expression after he closes the door here was spot on. For Kong's sake, Arthit couldn't allow himself to appear sad and only when he's alone that he finally breaks and lets it out. It must have been draining to act like nothing was wrong that whole evening, and I think Krist did a great job portraying this.

Honorable mention: this interview is too long to be called a moment, but I love every acting moment in it. I have a feeling that KS just memorised the gist of what they needed to say and ad-libbed the rest, but every word and reaction still came out so natural and authentic, as if I were watching actual Arthit and Kongpob doing an interview.

[hana-the-ghostieee]

hey! so um apparently bots keep following me???? assuming it's the same for everyone else

so if you're a person that's following me (why. what prompted you to make a stupid decision) and you have default... everything um maybe try changing your banner, write something in the desc (like pronouns and sexuality and stuff) and reblog a couple of stuff??? unless you'd like to get blocked. which is fine i guess (i question your motives but you do you)

[monty-glasses-roxy]

Just had the idea of doing a Roxy askblog that's based on it being a secret blog she's not allowed to have and every so often if someone asks her something she just says stuff like "To the Fazspy reading this, I'm not the real Roxy." to try and throw the staff off her trail lmao

Will probably never make a blog like that, but it could be kinda funny. Maybe I bring the idea of an 'ask Roxy anything' game back where I draw the answers for it instead so it's not a whole ass blog dedicated to Roxy being a sneaky lil shit on the internet

[mushroom-for-art]

Probably shouldn't be posting this when I already have a fusion template up but eh.

I am accepting comments for this right now, all my optional things are open, one comment each please you can go as feral and as in detail as you want for your chosen part, preferably in order but if you're too anxious to make the choice of something/can't think of anything I get if you comment something else. I'll try to give whatever little bugger I get lore and a name afterwards. Any confusion just message and I'll explain

Free to use just save the image and make your own post, if you want to mess with head shape too or not have the optional things or want your comment community to give name personality nature ect obviously say in your own post what you do and don't want

TFRarePairingFest2023 Day 1: The Matrix

Will also be on my Ao3 at some point after this post goes up, check my pinned post for a link to my Ao3.

Continuity: G1

Pairing: Astrotrain/Optimus Prime

(Also I write Astrotrain as if he uses his WFC: Siege toy appearance/design since that's still technically G1. K? K.)

@tfrarepairing

Astrotrain came to a stop, his earthen alt mode screeching as it did so. He promptly transformed and stepped out of the rail into the formerly abandoned station, his wings automatically fluttering. He paused the moment he saw the red and blue prime sitting at the only table not covered in dust with his helm on the table and arms hiding it away.

The tripler changer walked over and, instead of sitting down on the other side of the table, sat down next to him. Astrotrain put a servo on Optimus’s shoulder, causing him to look up at the other.

“Any reason you look down?” Astrotrain started, resting his other servo on the table.

The prime grumbled slightly, moving his helm to hide his face again. “Matrix,” he barely heard from Optimus.

Astrotrain tilted his helm slightly. That… wasn’t what he expected. “That relic?” the triple changer realized. Optimus made a small noise in confirmation. He blinked. “How can an endless storage of knowledge cause this?”

Optimus shifted slightly, lifting up his helm above his arms to deadpan at Astrotrain. He felt awkward under that blank look. The prime placed his helm on his arms this time, looking towards the blank, tannish grey wall of the station.

“Why do mecha always make that mistake…” Optimus muttered, seemingly unbothered Astrotrain could overhear him.

“So it’s more than that,” Astrotrain guessed. Optimus nodded.

“An eternal mix of every wielder, its creator, and the siblings of the creator, all wrapped up with the dreams of Primus,” Optimus described. “And Primus does not dream of this. And it is upset at our current state of war, that we strayed so far from Primus’s dream.”

Astrotrain moved his servo across the prime’s back to the other shoulder, then carefully pulled him into an one-armed hug. Optimus didn’t move for a moment before leaning into it.

“If it can’t be happy about everything, at least there’s one it can be about,” Astrotrain stated.

Optimus released a sad-sounding chuckle. “I… I guess so.”
