i like etho as a mcyt figure because he is like if a computer engineer could be a caveman. like imagine if the guy who invented the watch and the guy who invented the wheel were the same guy. imagine if you were talking to him and he was like oh yeah i also invented the hand axe. and google
#hes like if a grandpa were both a programmer and a luddite#hes like a paleolithic mech engineer#hes like if someone made the internet out of sticks and rocks#hes like if you could talk to a big rock and its like yeah i remember before anything was ever hungry bc life wasnt invented yet.#and also i invented algebra#hes like a guy someone found in a cave hungry and covered in dirt and then hes like wait before you bring me back to society#look at what i made while i was stuck in this cave. and its technology sufficiently sophisticated as to seem like magic. made out of mud#fueled by the motion of earth through space#like you think maybe i should leave him in the cave and let him cook#hed benefit from being around people… but also hes onto something. in that cave

The “inability to lie” feycurse is interesting to me, especially for Kremy, because I wonder if it also applies to internal lies. Lies you tell yourself to the point where you start to believe them.
I say this because…well, let’s look at Kremy’s love for unicorns. Sure, if we go meta, obviously this stemmed from the feycurse. Doubt Richie gave it any thought beforehand. But going in-universe, there’s a good chance that maybe Kremy already liked unicorns from beforehand. Maybe since he was a child. But probably had to hide that fact about himself, telling himself that “oh, you can’t be into that, only children like unicorns, and you’re not a child anymore”, until he started to believe it. Well, until the Witchlight Carnival changed that, of course.
Now, about Kremy and his affections for Gideon. Kremy IMMEDIATELY started getting all fidgety once he realized he couldn’t lie anymore, and of course it’s partly because…well…it’s Kremy we’re talking about here. But also what if Kremy was lying to himself about his feelings for Gideon (“oh, it’s totally normal to want to sleep with your best friend. Who you totally feel completely platonic feelings for. Yep.”)—lies which immediately started unraveling once Kremy couldn’t lie anymore, despite trying to still try and lie to himself about them. And, of course, everything reared its head during the wedding, but I’m sure we all know about that by now.
#idk is this something?#I was thinking about this while writing#the day 5 prompt#which was secrets revealed (which I used for Kremy obvi)#and I got to thinking about the inability to lie feycurse#and how the second time Kremy got it#he acknowledged Gideon as his partner. twice.#sure one of them was for a joke but still#whereas literally every time before and after that moment#Kremy kept saying that he and gid were just ‘a couple of guys’#guys I think I’m onto something here#that or I’m completely off my rocker#or both. probably both.#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight#ouaw#kremy lecroux#coalecroux

if you ship ingo and emmet please don't follow me
#no offense to anyone personally but it gives me the Ick real bad and the Ick is therefore associated with said people#i never mention that ship because i Do Not Like It. so why would i talk about it#i just block people and move on#this is probs the only time im gonna mention it#posting this late at night because the sleepy brain doesn't care ✌️#being on tumblr in this fandom gives me so much pointless anxiety sometimes#because of all the ship nonsense. or other nonsense like w/ that one artist and the trans jokes a while ago#and people were getting on their case about being silly about trans jokes and it's like. bruh leave them alone they're just having fun wtf#or all the stuff about creature guys and ''good autism representation''. can't a guy just live in peace wanting to be a creature#and projecting onto the faves#when i started suddenly getting lots of followers i was THIS 🤏 close to just. abandoning or deleting my blog entirely#because of the anxiety that someone would find something ''controversial'' about me and start getting a bunch of people to harass me#which. i think is not a great vibe you want for a fandom for people to have fun in#i love the friends I've made here but good lird the fandom gives me so much anxiety sometimes#because of these things#uhh. having a bad anxiety time and spiralling i think :'D

Todd going home for the weekend (Saturday morning to Sunday evening)
Todd, getting up from the breakfast table with the poets Saturday morning: oh I have to go
Neil, staring wistfully: oh mine own Todd, I bid thee the sweetest of goodbyes, my heart may be full of sorrows but I shall speak my farewells with honest wellness and inpatient joyfulness for I shall be waiting to see thee again on the morrow, mine own sweetest Todd, until then I shall hold you in mine heart for I cannot hold you in mine dear arms
Todd, walking out: uh ye-yeAH uh, I’ll see ya tomorrow *awkwardest wave you’ve ever seen* b- *runs into table because he was looking at poets* uh bye Neil
Neil, after Todd leaves: did you see that guys, isn’t he sooooo romantic, he just says the most perfect things to me
The poets: *wondering if Neil is delusional or just that lovesick*
#Todd walking out: god im such an idiot like can’t I just say anything right#Neil: isn’t he the most perfect guy ever#dead poets society#dps#dps fandom#dead poets fandom#todd anderson#neil perry#they are so Anne and Diana coded in this and perhaps that’s just my favorite type of pairing#well Neil is Anne coded but Todd isn’t really Diana coded but he is in some ways in the movie I suppose#maybe I’m just not normal about those two and I’ve secretly projecting them onto every other ship so I don’t have to address how utterly#bewitched I was by Anne and Diana from Anne of green gables (Anne and Diana shoulda been end game like have yall read the first novel???)#no one can convince me they weren’t written to be the superior ship and you can fight me on that)#if anyone sends me an ask about those two I will answer with why I think they were written to be romance-coded in the first novel so yall#don’t think I’m dillusional or making up the queer overtones of the novel#but back to dps#only slightly ooc like Neil is definitely dramatic enough to say something like that and Todd is that awkward but both are slightly#exaggerated charactitures of their selves#cause why not

Personally, I think the “That’s how it happened right? You standing in my blood, stroking my hair?” Was how it happened. Louis is just super detached from that headspace he was in before, and validly wanting not to have it be true that he didn’t, at one time, care about Claudia being gone, would be reasonable, and in character. Blaming Armand, partly, for why things got to be like that is correct. Though in this instance is misdirected to include things Armand did not in fact do to get it to be like that, but had, very much, done in a recent unrelated incident. He's essentially combining two events together to get it to align with his current set of beliefs. (Surely everyone's looked back on a situation before and saw it differently given time to think or feel differently about it. Get differing information, and so on. The show is directing us to that a lot, if not making it one of its major themes.)
But I say this is probably, almost definitely, the case, because Louis story beats need to be told accurately lest it take away from his character arc, as well his whole character and its complexity. Obstructing from his, very powerful, highly emotionally driven, story in a way that's frankly offensive. Armand having total and complete control over it, is bullshit. While, he does this though, to himself. Does a character armor on himself to get away from his own flaws, and role, in how things came about. Not intentionally, because it is emotional, and a lot of times just a result of blocking out that trauma. But this is something he’s seen doing often - Not remembering situations in the light in which they’re most accurate, and in so doing painting himself better sometimes, and others worse. Straight up forgetting, or overlooking information, and so never reevaluating why certain things came about until this moment. Not accurately applying the emotions of then, to the way he feels about it now, because he can't, or couldn't previously, actually remember it in that way. As he doesn't connect to those feelings, even those memories. His feelings in a lot of ways keep clouding his memories and his judgments of them.
Daniel gets at this too, where he brings up the tapes, and how Louis was basically just raving the whole time, and this story all happened differently then. It's the same story beats, yes, but it's all so emotionally different to the point where information gets completely changed around, even looked at like it's forcefully constructed to be a certain way, and not actually, therefore, accurate. Louis always tells an emotional story, and that’s important. It places him in time and continuum, in his own history as opposed to outside of it. That’s like, I think a history that can’t be overlooked, even if it's a history that's subject to change. And shouldn't history be? Shouldn't we look back on events that took place in our lives differently? Isn't that how any society grows? And why shouldn't Louis judgments be clouded by his emotions when that's the reason for most any other characters actions? Isn't that the story being told here?
#iwtv#Armand stuff in tags so I'm not derailing:#this is also why I believe Louis had asked Armand for it to be removed because he was struggling and his judgements were off and so asking#in that kind of moment is... I feel a very Louis doing something emotionally desperate moment. And you can just#throw a dart at a wall of things he's done and never miss him doing something emotionally desperate.#the whole interview is emotionally desperate for crying out loud.#anyway... I'm an Armand would only do this if asked kind of person and think it's lazy and bad writing otherwise.#Armand SO much more preys on Louis emotional vulnerabilities and desperations than he goes fucking around with Louis literal memories.#Cause he's also not after control so much as filling the void of his own insecurities and sometimes this is done through manipulating Louis#And that's why I also don't think he plans and constructs so much as... also only acts desperately.#Honestly I don't think a lot of it's intentional either for the very reason he doesn't want to really control Louis#Louis just also an active reminder of everything he's insecure about so he... ends up acting out a lot of them onto him.#The guy's not hannibal lector unwell he's Armand unwell#Idk the people that get it get it#louis de pointe du lac#loumand#armand#interview with the vampire

anytime i remember the long drawn out seashells rant im utterly flabbergasted there arent any works with ekky as a mermaid... like come on they even used the most mermaidy ass pic for the article recapping the video... like come on

COME ON
#are we seeing the vision#ARE WE SEEING IT#DO WE SEE IT YET#forsblad eccentric mermaid x humble fisherman#sometimes forsblad is a little too perfect for each other something about ive been waiting for you all my life and i didnt even know it#i just think its funny that forsy prefers freshwater fishing over saltwater#and that naturally the one time they drag him onto the ocean he fishes up a mermaid you know? like yeah ofc forsy does that#man who wants tuna and does NOT get that#forsy “youre not a bluefin (tuna)...” ekky “well i have A blue fin (flops tail flirtaciously)”#ekky who did not think humans were THAT built like the merfolk down there#and he is very much oogling him when forsy decides to take his shirt which is very rare because sun and this poor guy cannot handle it at a#like ekky do you want him to die he will die#sorry do you think forsy gets so proud when he can lift up his 220 lbs mermaid lover to gently place them back in the water#alternatively forsy carries ekky into his home and its supposed to be akin to new weds buying their new home and crossing the threshold#but it feels more like “showing my dog things hes never seen before: top of the fridge” as forsy just carries his mermaid princess around

Cards 👏 cards 👏 cards 👏 (Patreon)
#Doodles#Osmosis Jones#Damned#Ozzy#Drix#Thrax#You may remember my DAX card - cough - and also my Stanley card! Also cough huh actually lol#Stanley's looked much more like this tho#Which would be because they're all part of the same printed set!#I actually have another like dozen-ish of these#Might show 'em off in the end-of-year roundup 👀 But for now it's just these guys! The sillies!#In very legible ink lol - I can read it and they're my notes so that's the important bit#I think Thrax's last name would actually be ''Roja'' tho so that's on me#Also why is Drix called Drixenol when his full first name is Drixobenzometaphendramine - where's the L come from#I've been Jonesing - pun intended - to fill out Ozzy's ''personality'' section for aaaggesss#I keep trying to pick at a scene with him and it's just not turning out! Need an easy-overview of his traits and features lol#I did actually have a new idea after making these so I think I was onto something lol#He has a very fun character type ♪ He's oddly socially aware for how annoying he can be! He does it on purpose!!#Drix is the exact opposite so they're great contrasts to each other hehe <3 Drix Tries to be helpful and fumbles it but he's so earnest!#Also finally got me decided on their room placements - so much easier to coordinate them at Night with that square#They don't have roommates Yet but based on who was inhabiting which rooms originally....o3o It's an idea isn't it hmmm#I went and read Thrax's description on one of his wiki pages as well and he was described as ''Cold'' and I was like uhm???#Like yes he does kill in cold-blood - he's pretty unflinching and indiscriminate with what and who he aims his fire power at#But with his hot-headed attitude and overall heat aesthetic I have a difficult time calling him Cold exactly - cool for sure! Haha#But yeah I dunno about that - he's also a nerd which I find very fun haha sets up a powerpoint presentation for his thugs#And just ends up doing the main bit himself anyway! He just likes to talk about his plans hehehe#It really is double-fun to have them all from different points in their timelines ahh ♪ Who and what they know so fun to play in#The secret-keeping and surprises are my favourite part! Mismatch and uncertainty! Love that#I also had a lot of fun with their background splashes :) Ozzy gets blue cells - Drix gets his pills and some fizzles#And Thrax's cell-destroying fire and flames were stylized so cool! Also has a bit of a pollen look as well! I enjoy

posts that took me 6 months to finish making. so anyway,
its too late in the night for me to be coherent about this but
"I don't distrust you," he admits since you've gone silent. "You're allowed to be here." He feels guilty. Guilty over how he's been treating you, but also over how things turned out.
"I take that as you've done some things you regret." "Many." Her brows draw together. "And some I blame myself for, even though I know I shouldn't."
There's more here. You can feel it simmering under the surface. He looked away last time. It couldn't be that bad, could it? He could have, he should have…[i]not this time.[/i]
"I feel like I actually got a chance to move on now that you're back in my life. I don't want to be the marshal that messed up and got half ${his} team killed; I want to change. But it's…hard. Harder than I thought."
"Good." The laughter sounds genuine. "I'd hate it if that part still showed."
thinking about fhr and second chances. about characters that live and make mistakes and regret and have to move on anyway. and maybe they do, or maybe they dont. thinking about how it reflects on sidestep, on all different versions of sidestep, and the ways they can handle their rebirth. thinking about sidesteps that try to fix things with the people theyve hurt, or find new people to help when they cant make it up to the people they need to. about steps that have to bury their regrets to have their new lease on life, and the ones who manage to lock up the skeletons in the closet vs the ones who still have the past hounding at their heels wherever they go.
theres the way it all interacts with eachother too. like, take argent, for example, somebody who cant afford to do anything but move on and hope that she can still be better this time around as a matter of survival. compare that with herald, that lived his life constantly thinking about the needs of others and so has to apologize for every minute problem he might have caused. or chen, who has such an understated self-loathing for the mistakes hes made in one lifetime and yet reaches the same conclusion of pushing aside his guilt so it doesnt crush him, so he can Get Things Done. ortega and mortum are different in the way they approach regrets too, where mortum cynically accepts it as part of life and ortega has to find literally any way they can make it right.
just like. man. fhr is a story about regret, huh.
also have a bonus hg quote from the 4.2 about it because it literally inspired this insanity and itd feel wrong not to include it LMFAO
[i]The arms around you pull you into a hug as you try to think. Smother you in caring and worry. Loss. Fear. Not letting you go. Not this time. Not again.
FUCKED UP SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!!!! TO ME!!!!!!
#fhr#pulp speaks#do i tag all the characters. hmmm#eh nah#i am Also thinking about how i have to study integration and i am very not doing that but its fineeee i can ignore ittt#everytime i save to drafts i have this fear that tumblr is going to post it instead of save it AND ITS NOT EVEN UNWARRANTED#TUMBLR CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME SAVE MY 6 MONTH OLD DRAFT IN PEACE#its like 5pm where im at rn but i still have to keep that “its too late in the night” sentence from the start. atp its required#my guy has been with me from the beginning‼ its an og‼‼‼#the quotes were originally screenshots and i Do like the aesthetic of it but then i realized it was. Impossible to read#and the screenshots were too small to accurately press the alt text button especially on mobile#so alas. quotes it is#btw the reason this took 6 months was i kept procrastinsting gathering all the quotes#i wrote everything. today 🫶#feeling normal thoughts and emotions about fhr in this club tonight boyssss#oh and something ive also been thinking about but havent included#ortega+hg clinging onto their second chance by their teeth#cant afford to let it go. cant lose them Again#hey ortega. hey. how does it feel knowing that you and your greatest nemesis share the same fear of losing the person you care about most#and that said person is the same one for both of you?#just wondering

saw your post about no longer wanting to be a phan blog and i just wanted to say i get you especially the reaction to this tour has been very uncomfortable and i could never figure out exactly why it felt... overbearing ig??? but it has been building and the tour leak and announcement just seemed to put a spotlight on people seem to have learned nothing from the previous years and seem to think that now that they're back it's okay to push their boundaries because they're engaging with us again. and tbh i appreciate you for helping put into words the discomfort ive been feeling and it sucks that it turned out like this that the enjoyment of the thing gets harder because of others
I was so so hoping it wouldn't get like this again
The first 5-6 months of the gaming channel being back were mostly wonderful
Everyone was behaving and respectfully enjoying dnp being back as a duo
I've seen/felt it building up over the past few months but I kept ignoring it because I figured it was just newer phans who didn't know about any of "the lore"
But every time I'd check their page out it would almost always be someone in their mid-late 20s who has been around for 10+ years
I was dumbfounded
I genuinely cannot believe people still treat Dan and Phil like tv characters who exist purely for entertaining the masses
Its really sad
#i have had a lot of other dnp fans dming me and sending anonymous asks sharing this same sentiment#to my surprise#i thought i was alone on this opinion for a long time#which is part of the reason i tried to ignore the way i was feeling for so long#i think i started feeling something was off when the “dangender” shit started#and then people started calling dnp autistic because they're weird guys#thennnn people started started crossing boundaries discussing their sex lives#jokes and bants about it are fine#dnp dont seem to mind that too much and make these jokes themselves#but phans (as always apparently) started to take it too far#people keep projecting shit onto them#and being overall disrespectful as fuck to both of them#so when i opened tumblr and the first thing i saw was that the tour got leaked#and saw everyone gloating and screaming about it on every corner of the internet i genuinely got super angry#i walked away from my phone for an hour then came back to quit being a phanblog lol#like you assholes couldn't wait a few more hours for them to announce this thing they've been busting their asses on for MONTHS#you just had to camp out on ticketmaster and overanalyze everything that they did in order to prove that you were “right”#but at least you were right right?#fuckin selfish greedy and entitled behavior#its gross and honestly dnp should not have to put up with this kinda shit

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh today I've been constantly experiencing the urge to un-private today-in-the-devildom & start writing for it again
#i'm gonna ramble in the tags but#i've been talking with starr (if you're reading this--hi starr!! <3) about the blog today and sharing some of the entries#and it just made me miss it so much#+ the conversation actually made me realize some other reasons why i didn't enjoy the blog in general anymore#like i genuinely love the blog and i genuinely loved writing for it & that conversation reminded me of that#but also there were so many reasons that ultimately pushed me to more or less abandon the blog & then later private it too#so i'm kind of at a loss here#tbh i think i'm mostly just scared to pick the blog up again only for it to end exactly like last time i picked it back up#i've actually always wanted for the blog to be a source of inspiration y'know?#like the things mentioned in the entries are kinda just small ideas right#i was hoping that people would read these & feel inspired to write or draw something of their own based on my entries#that was actually what made me start the blog in the first place. the hope that i could inspire others that way#aaahhhhhh.... maybe it's on me since i could have more openly communicated that idea......#i did get to meet one wonderful person who wrote a few fics based on my entries tho!! (hi ali <3)#but yeah..there's that#also the way engagement just dropped significantly after a while#like i know i was gone for a good while & that a lot of people left the fandom and all that#but still getting maybe one reblog if i'm lucky really feels like a punch to the gut#ESPECIALLY considering that i was close to 900 followers on there#do you guys know that feeling when you proudly show someone you care about something you did only to get a disinterested answer?#yeah...#that's essentially how it feels like to me#and well as you might know the feeling of “why should i keep writing if apparently no one cares” eventually won... haha.....#but aaaahhhhh i'm still clinging onto the hope & what ifs here#that conversation with starr really just made me forget about everything that frustrated me about the blog & left me with this#longing feeling to start again lol#hey if you've made it this far into the tags let me just ask--would you care if i picked the blog back up?#would you also *show* that you care?#i'm actually quite curious (you could almost call me george lol)#anyway maybe we'll see each other on today-in-the-devildom again in the future.. who knows

"Rodimus is a better Prime because it didn't hurt for him to bond with the Matrix while for Optimus it did" headcanon/theory my beloathed.
One day I'm literally gonna snap and make a whole post addressing why what's wrong bc I'm tired of the inaccuracy and tired of ppl not understanding the Point TM of IDW and its version of the Matrix/Primacy and even more tired of people putting down Optimus in favor of Rodimus by essentially arguing that being unworthy means you deserve to be punished/put in pain bc you just weren't good enough to hold the Symbol of Ultimate Authority
#it's wrong on so many levels both in terms of lore and as well as like what the general themes of idw1 are#it's just a validation contest using the matrix as some magical symbol to decide who's the most special#which is ironically something that was a plot point in exrid/OP. specifically how stupid of an idea that is ldskjflksd#ppl revealing that they havent read anything besides mtmte/ll as usual#like half the reason ppl think optimus is a bad prime and rodimus is a good prime is literally bc like#optimus was written by an author who was specifically trying to deconstruct him (sometimes to the point of absurdity)#and rodimus was written by an author who takes a more optimistic/idealistic approach. and is also better at writing#but also like am i seriously the only person who thinks that that argument is fucked up?????#like 'OP felt pain which means he's unworthy/not a real prime/not a true leader'#ok so you think that there's a hierarchy of moral goodness in which anyone who falls short of that Moral Ideal should suffer#as a sign of their unworthiness?? like does that not sound dystopian as hell to any of you?? why would you WANT the matrix to work like tha#even if the theory were true (which it isn't) why would you view the matrix as a good authoritative moral judge of character#if its idea of 'moral judgement' is to inflict pain on anyone who's supposedly not truly good/worthy#wasn't the entire point of the ending of LL (including rodimus being a good leader) that everyone is worth it?#like rodimus literally said 'you ARE damn well good enough' or something like that#so what? everyone else in the universe tries their best and that's enough but somehow when OP suffers it's like#a sign that he's not actually a good prime/leader?? we're really going with the punitive perspective purely for One Guy??#swear to god ppl are projecting their authority issues onto Optimus the way they shit on him for things they would excuse#if any other character did it#Optimus is uniquely deserving of pain/being marked as unworthy bc idk he was a cop once and that offends my delicate sensibilities#what's even funnier is how much harm was inflicted by rodimus as a captain sheerly due to his stupidity or ego but everyone forgives him#i guess bc as long as the matrix likes him that means he's valid no matter what he actually does as a person#WHICH IS SOMETHING IDW ITSELF ARGUED AGAINST BC A LOT OF THE PRIMES THAT WERE CHOSEN BY THE MATRIX#WERE DICKS AND THE FACT THEY COULD WIELD THE MATRIX DIDN'T MAKE THEM GOOD PEOPLE#like oh my god stop using the matrix as an arbiter of moral authority in idw1 it literally goes against the themes of the story#including the themes that are embodied in rodimus himself#idw op love

completely unrelated but a thought i've been having: absolutely insane and very impressive that he was a good father. like a really good, normal father
#his adult child issues are widely known but i've started to really understand the scope of it lately#i think 1982-84 is sort of. not The key but A key to understanding that issue#i feel like that's the time where his whole childhood experience kinda came crashing down on him#which is crazy because that's the moment he was a global supermegastar#i get the feeling he knew... ages like 16-22. he was Aware of his differences and some issues they were causing#but i think long term consequences kicked in in his early 20s#i think he was desperately holding onto being a child for a lot of reasons. maybe subconsciously bc he knew growing up For Him was gonna be#something.#and boy was it#you can't run from adulthood anymore when you reach like. 25. (shaking as i say this bc Eye am 25. whatever)#it's just like. nothing happened gradually for him other than his realization that his whole life was derailed. in fact it was never railed#that 1983 interview really got me. that was an amazing insight#i'm grateful for it even tho i feel really bad for him in it. that guy was walking around shell-shocked and afraid of everyone#mannnnn. i love thinking about him#oh my god michael jackson @ michael jackson if you can hear me I Love You thank you King
