i need to have words with whoever dressed buck for his date bc what is even going on here??? white sneakers are super casual, paired with more formal shiny black dress pants (look at those pleats!), with a semi-casual button-up polo??? to say nothing of the disconnect colour-wise (the only worse outfits of his this season are the finale fits, but that’s another post). 

he looks as disappointed in himself as i am in the wardrobe department. 

i need to headcanon that he had trouble deciding on what to wear, going back and forth for an hour before finally landing on an ensemble he thought was good [spoiler alert: it was not, in fact good]. for someone who had dressed pretty well this season, this outfit was shock-horror.

Im rereading The Golden Compass and its just so good. It sets up SO much so early that you don't even realize. Its been so long since i read it, its both fresh and bringing back memories at the same time. Ugh. Love these books sm.

My betrothed and I are watching His Dark Materials since we’re rereading the books right now. We’re only a few episodes in, though. I got to the mulefa in the book and I got so excited to see the show versions, so I googled it to get a sneak peek.

So. Disappointed.

Part of the point of them is that they’re so alien and their evolution diverged so far from ours. Their diamond configuration of legs made them perfectly equipped for using wheels.

Instead the design they picked is like a fucking tapir. It makes no sense to have wheels, it has four standard legs, no horns, and less imagination. I’ve seen fan interpretations that were leagues better than what they came up with.

Really really bummed, when I was a kid I always wondered what Pullman was picturing for them but I know for damn sure it wasn’t that.

Buddie Dæmon AU where Eddie has a male Dæmon that settles as a Lion, of all things. All the shit he has to go through growing up in Texas like that. Locking him up in a moment of stupidity and running away, surviving somehow and thus completing the separation Ritual. (Practically unheard of. There probably aren't even any equivalents to witches)

His "pocket sized" dæmon being another reason he's very desirable to the LAFD because usually people with the temperament for it having big dæmons that make navigating fires and shit hell.

Eddie pretending to talk to whatever is hiding in his pocket occasionally, maybe he even has a special bag that is actually empty. Nobody knows what his dæmon looks like. There are bets. Chim is convinced it's a scorpion.

Meanwhile Chris is followed by a lion everywhere he goes, but at a distance unless he's with Isabel or Pepa, and maybe it takes until the Tsunami for everyone to figure it out when Eddie's Dæmon rescues Chris after he falls back into the water.

An ambitious young woman with a good marriage, well on her way to quite some position, and then that man came along and you...melted in front of him... I did not melt.

HIS DARK MATERIALS 3.05 ‘No Way Out’

[tragicotps]

Marisa Coulter + Caring more about Asriel than she'd like to admit

[thatonecrookedsmile]

From the depths of the studio - where darkness prevails and the voices of the puddles grow louder - a message is echoed to the rest of the world. A promise filled with hatred and,at the same time,with conviction. Words coming from someone who was more than confident that their blasphemy would come true.

A message that is directed to one creature,and one creature only...

"I will become the very being You never could be"

----- "A Promise Sent from Below" - Return to the Studio AU.

Oh hey, I have an AU, I forgot about that (lie)

I've had a similar idea in my head for a month now. It wasn't possible to do it last month, but no problem. May would make more sense. I did something with this little guy for 414 last year, and I wanted to do something with him again. April 14th of this year would not be possible, but May 14th or 15th? Oh yes. These dates are better because it was between these two (actually it was the 14th I think, but I consider both dates) days that I created this guy above! Consider this drawing a celebration made for…well, me. Of course, he wasn't created with the design above in mind. His original, main design is quite different from this alternative (and less original) iteration. The drawing above shows his current situation in the "current" moments of the RTTS AU.

His creation, which dates back to 2020, was the result of some Bendy-related thoughts of mine intersecting on the day. These being about new things in canon lore that came out at the time (plus speculation about this new information), a theory that at the time I started to understand better (which maybe based on the drawing, you probably know which theory I'm talking about ) and a funny bug found in one of the games (do you remember Ghost Bendy by any chance?) And then,boom. I created Atlas. I remember at the time I was thinking of other names for him because Atlas was just a codename that I had in mind to refer to him while I thought of a definitive name for the guy. But the codename ended up sticking. Plus, Atlas is a cool name and I wanted to give an OC that name.

Even though some details changed over time, I think I eventually managed to solidify his place in the AU. Not that his story is 100% thought out and completed. Hell, my AUs that I have are still not 100% thought out either, so what to expect from their characters. But I think that, currently, I have at least decided on the general idea of his place and purpose in RTTS, and I am happy with what I have come up with.

I don't know when the next time will be that I will show him again. In general, showing things from my AUs is not and probably will never be my strong point lol. But I'd like to draw him again eventually. So uhhhhhhhhhhh, one day. When that "one day" will be, it's up to you to decide

Happy Birthday Atlas. You and your other 2 alternative versions are cool to think about. Here's to another 4 years of chaos for you. 🙌

I can't believe it's been 4 years now, damn.

I don't think I understand any grown-ups at all.

Now that I'm down to the last 2 episodes of HDM I guess I should start bracing myself for plot-relevant children kissing. I don't care if it saves the world, I hate watching people kiss on TV.
