Sabran and the White Wyrm - from The Priory of the Orange Tree.

#the priory of the orange tree #tpotot #queen sabran #samantha shannon #sabran #just pretend this dragon is this small #in the book it is so much bigger #but i wanted to draw them like this #so bleh #my art #if you have read the book then maybe this means sometghing else #if you havent read the book then dont worry amd ignore that tag #i just remember they have the same colour eyes #when you find out that the witch of the woods is *redacted*#that was ny thought process here #so maybe i am lying about this woman with the green eyes #but WHICH woman with the green eyes? 👀

I LOVE Teen Stan and Ford, it’s sad they don’t get drawn enough, so thank you so much!

Does Ford ever help Stan when he gets overstimulated? Or maybe when he has a rage response and suddenly starts crying and calls himself stupid?

Here's the other post with Ford

#I am once again asking someone to write me a fic about these two posts. pretty please 🥺#this took me way too long to think off #the dialogue was escaping me #if you can guess what the book he's reading is... you won't win anything I just think it would be cool #maybe Stan got upset about his grades. or a boxing match ir something #sometimes I too bite myself. not deep enough to draw blood but enough to bruise. it's gotten better over the tears but still #now and then...#anywayszzzzzzzz #ask #anonymous #gravity falls #stan pines #stanley pines #stanford pines #ford pines #teen stan #teen ford #art #fanart #traditional art #watercolor #the last few drawings came out so nicely #both of them are emotionally constipated in their teen years (and onwards honestly) so instead of addressing the crying they ignore it #they pretend it never happened #btw here you can see my (successful) attempt at putting Ford out of the picture so I don't have to draw more #comic #long post #look at their socks #I forgot the 's' in 'books' I'm so stupid god

i think mostly we as a culture need to stop pretending media is for us and instead recognize that it's for the people making it. "the show didn't do the thing I wanted it to" is so not the point. did it do what the people making it wanted it to do? did it tell the story they were trying to tell? than it was successful. if that doesn't align with what you wanted to happen, don't get up in arms about it. don't badmouth the creators and throw a tantrum. that's what fan works are for. the text is the text, and it told the story it was telling. you wouldn't be like "ugh shakespeare is insane for act v btw like there was no reason for juliet to kill herself she should've just waited and then her and romeo could have been together wtf this ruined the whole play" like no!!! the themes were there the set-up was there the foreshadowing was there shakespeare did what he intended to. just because it wasn't a happy ending and just because you thought it should've went differently doesn't mean it was bad. read a fic where juliet lives and move on.

#this is about ghosts but honestly fandom in general #stop pretending the creators of things owe you certain story lines. they're making it not you #i explained it like this to my sister:#imagine you're reading a book and there are sort of hints and scenes that you take to interpret a character as gay #you cite quotes and talk about the themes and the impact of your interpretation #and then at the end of the book the character comes out as asexual.#and then a lot of those scenes and quotes that you were using as evidence for your interpretation-#now they could be construed to have been pointing towards them being ace all along #just because it wasnt the end you fabricated in your head based on your understanding of the hints #doesn't mean it wasnt always the writers plan from the beginning.#AND it doesnt mean you can't keep imagining a world where they're gay instead #it just means that the writer was leaving those clues to point you towards the ending #and you interpreted the clues differently #bbc ghosts #ghosts spoilers #bc like. if last resort was the ending #you could 'read' the whole series with the understanding that they weren't going to leave the house #and the foreshadowing would add up #but now with the special. you can go back and 'read' the series with the understanding that they leave #and it still all adds up. the foreshadowing was there it just meant something different than you thought.#stories have beginnings middles and ends #you predetermined the ending while still in the middle and got mad when you weren't right.#does that make sense?

Unlocked a new piece of "Arya can't control herself' lore and, apparently, people think her ability to control herself comes from her pretending to be someone else. So it isn't Arya who has self-control, it's Arry/Weasel/Nan/etc. and that's why she wouldn't be able to control herself in KL, cause she couldn't handle being "Arya". I am fascinated by people twisting themselves into pretzels to deny Arya's capabilities, at this point it's an unhealthy compulsion 😭

#arya stark #asoiaf #fandom nonsense #it's either denying that she has the ability to control herself altogether or conceding by saying that she can only control #herself when she's pretending to be someone else there's no in-between #trying to understand how that even makes any sense but then the mind of an Arya hater is anything but logical #wildest part is that they really think they're doing some deep character analysis with this take sdksdkdsfjfsjsdj #I joke about it all the time but Arya truly is too complex for this fandom to digest and that's wild 😭#this is why people have such dogshit takes about her lol #need people to stop huffing reddit/quora metas and actually read the books for a change

best prose writers of our generation are busy writing undoubtedly brilliant alternative universe works about two kpop idols who hugged each other twice that will never get published..

#mine #i read SUCH a good random fic yesterday i think it was about the boyz's members?? the quality was crazy it was better than every romcom ive #ever seen like they have got to make a film adaptation of this #i don't ever need to buy romance books anymore i will just go to ao3 choose a trope and read fics about men ive never heard about and #pretend they are original characters

I wish the deleted ending for TQoN was the real ending and not what we got in the mortal world.

#I usually don't mind close the loop at the end style #but 3 books of how Jude wanted to belong in Elfhame #to end in the mortal world where she didn't even like to be in #maybe it would make sense if the point was that Jude thought she would be fine if she had to go back to the mortal world forever #or it would have been a fine ending if is was Vivi's story #or part of Cardan's novela #compare talking pizza toppings and having the land react to Jude's footprints when she thought she would never belong on the islands #again three WHOLE books #yes Jude's family was very important to her #but they could all be in the place where she became Queen to end the trilogy #I'm ranting now but I just pretend the real epilogue is the deleted chapter #can you tell I'm preparing to reread TQoN when I learn to read again?#jude duarte #the queen of nothing #tfota #tfota rant #no one is going to read this I'm sure

so has anyone figured out WHY there is the Need To Share our Artworks™ or is it just the vibes and our Soul apparently

#ive been running on “two cakes. u aren't BOTHERING people by putting art on their feed they can scroll past it/if they dont they get ”cake“”#and we love “cake”#“cake” is picture on the internet in this case #like okay the contracts and transaction format is a me problem!! i need to get rid of the “utilitarian brain worms” bc they're boring #this is supposed to be a hobby and the “get a good grade in hobby” wolf in the brain is just crying bc that's how they understand the world #the “get a good grade in x” wolf has valid pain but needs to stop controlling my life because they don't need to earn “enough value to live”#ect ect ect #and the life of minmaxxed utility is a life of trying to appeal to a “correct” that doesn't exist yaddi yadda = boring #i love you wolf. also shut up. affectionate. concerned. you get it #ok so we remove tangible purpose from act of experience art because THAT'S not “the point”#because “the point” is the joy killer eccetera ecc #but then what? “here check out this labor of love. i drew this fucker 15 times. no there's no story* there it's just a guy”#*story in this case being an emotional engagement/a situation/a context in which to ponder/other #so it's just a Draw. no further analysis. what do others Get from that?#i know i deeply enjoy art because im a fan of the process of People Making Stuff. i love when there was nothing but now there's something!!!#THAT'S what's it all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to me!!!! right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#so it stands to reason that creation is purpose enough?? to be experienced???? to be known????????#idk!!#this is a nothing burger of a thought people have always liked picture on the internet stfu maiora there doesn't need to be a reason #this is just the brainworms talking!!! because god forbid “something not have a purpose”??? blegh!!!!!!!!#sounds like unhealthy rationalizing instead of letting things be out of The Fear™!!sounds like depraving urself from joy bc of BRAINWORMS!!!#so like!!!!! picture on the internet doesn't NEED inherent value. creation is enough!! (plus there's the Attachment to Character. also.)#but then why are YOU *points at you* here? gen q!!#i made an image you like and now you are reading my word babble in some tags!!! what's THAT all about???????????#it's INTERESTING!! do you see what im trying to get at??#is it empathy??? person made something other saw something other made- other2other connection???? intrigue????????#.......all this is probably explained in some book or yt essay somewhere. oh well.#in the meantime thank you for your time! we can pretend we were stuck in an elevator together and then i started rambling #i hope you have a great rest of your day thanks for stopping by!! <3 #maiora garrulates

“Valeryian steel armour felt like something Aegon the conqueror would have had from his time in old Valeryia.” - Ryan Condal

Guys.. who’s gonna tell him?

#Ryan I say this with kindness but please stop doing interviews and pretending you’ve read the source material #he reminds me of those kids who would pretend they did their lit homework by bullshitting their way through questions about the book #asoiaf #house of the dragon #aegon the conqueror #anti ryan condal #btw for any fans that don’t already know Valyria fell many years before aegon was born in dragonstone - he never went there #pretty sure the main show or at least the main books told us that #george really should have chosen showrunners who are willing to read the books (or listen to the audiobook)

the x files au where everything is exactly the same except mulder takes home the child neanderthal from the jersey devil episode and raises them as his own

#you could make this super fun and invoke a sense of deep Guilt on behalf of mulder because he feels he got the mom neanderthal killed #and then you can also make it fun in “c'mon sport let's go throw the ball around kind of way”#i imagine him at the library checking out books on early humanoid species and how to parent at the same time #the librarian silently checking the books out and wondering what on earth this man could possibly be needing such resources for #imagine scully's reaction to this. i can't quite place it beyond initial Disbelief and then subsequent trying to be as supportive as she ca #and she would probably be also very Nerdy about the whole thing. because she strikes me as someone well-read on the subject and fascinated #we also know she at least has some experience wrangling children which would be relevant #i imagine a bunch of anthropologists perpetually hovering over the child to study him but they have to be Chill and not disrupt his life #so the kid just grows up thinking they have a ton of really cool and supportive aunts and uncles over all the time #meanwhile they scientists are taking notes furiously as they see if he can adapt to playing a gameboy with the other kids #idk someone probably thought of this idea before but it's funny to me #why would the kid go to him and not someone far more qualified? idk i'm just playing pretend in my brain :)#this thought was prompted by me wondering if you time traveled and brought an early humanoid to the modern era do you think the kid #would still play minecraft? i say yes. probably.#i saw a post about something similar years ago and i wonder about it. i hope you would like cartoons and subway surfers neanderthals.#the x files #txf #fox mulder
