"And Quaid knew, meeting the clown's vacant stare through an air turned bloody, that there was worse in the world than dread. Worse than death itself.
There was pain without hope of healing. There was life that refused to end, long after the mind had begged the body to cease. And worst, there were dreams come true".

"...I'm not done telling you all the things that I wanted to say; there's still so much. It's been so long since anyone listened to me talk. Won't you stay?"
Heaven Official's Blessing, Vol 8
#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#hualian#tian guan ci fu#i was going to use the banquet quote#but xie lian's 'it's been so long since anyone listened to me' absolutely kills me every time#like he goes pretty much the entire story trying not to ask for anything#and when he finally breaks down and begs hua cheng to stay#it's not for any grand reason like safety or happiness or love#he just wants hua cheng to Be There#i am#devastated just thinking about it#excuse me while i cry about these two for the hundredth time#yallstart

In rewatching the season, I'm noticing how clever Aabria and Brennan were in crafting Tula's story. How well thought out everything was.
Specifically, the bear. It's been mentioned so many times before, but with the context of the completed season, I cannot help but be in awe at the skilful storytelling at display here. The way in which the Blue is described to appear wrong only in reference to Tula and her heart, the way in which Tula talks about curiosity and and having experienced knowing someone who died because of it. Of how Aabria describes to Izzy how Tula looks when she heals the bear, of how Aabria specifically points out that Tula recognises the commonalities between herself and the bear. These breadcrumbs that mean little in the beginning, that tell everything at the end. It's amazing, stunning, masterful storytelling. I am in awe.
#text_loke#meta from loke#Burrow's End#Burrow's End Spoilers#Aabria Iyengar#Brennan Lee Mulligan#i am forever in awe tbh#also the way i gasped at several of brennan and aabria's lines this episode#i'll need to pull some quotes from that whenever i get on my computer#and i desperately need to write a fic about everything that happened from Tula's perspective#but that would be AFTER i finally manage to finish the little beast i'm working on about that Last Fight from Tula's pov#'cos BOY i have a feeling i will write a lot. just 600 words on the intro before 'kill them all'. so y'know. a wordy little thing...#anyway. i love burrow's end so much. i cannot stop thinking about it#Dimension 20 Spoilers#D20 Spoilers

@saimatsu-week Day 5: Touch.
"Compassion makes people trust you. If you offer them your hand, they'll reach for it..."
#saimatsu#saimatsuweek2024#for this prompt i wanted to depict moments in canon where kaede and shuichi showed support and comfort through touch#and the last square presenting that loss....that final would be touch#CRYING CRYING CRYING CRYING#i love them so much#i might revisit this concept some day but i like how this turned out well enough!#teg's art#also jic the middle square depicts this moment that happens during the first investigation#where Kaede collapses onto the ground in tears...Shuichi offers her a hand and helps her up#there's even an interesting visual that occurs in that moment where the camera zooms in on Kaede and Shuichi once she's up#implying close proximity....I'm obsessed with that moment I genuinely wish it had a cg for it (the lifting up part specifically teehee)#AAAAND the quote is from shuichi's free time events kill me

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Suzanne Collins / Antigone, Sofocles
How do you mourn a brother you wanted dead?
#does this makes sense?#I hope it does#i was rereading the Antigone and for some reasons this quote made me think of Tigris#of her feelings after snow died#the Snow she despised and wanted dead#the same Snow that was Coryo once#does she mourn that boy or has she been doing that since she first saw his father in Snow’s eyes?#does she finally feel relieved because the monster is dead?#i just love her so much#her story breaks my heart#my girl Tigris you deserved so much better#tigris snow#coriolanus snow#hunger games#the ballad of songbirds and snakes

“You're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you don't even have a name for.” -Richard Siken Crush

THE X-FILES (1993-2018)
SEASON FIVE — What do you hope to find? I mean, in the end.
#txf#tv#txf5#the x files#txfedit#tvedit#scifiedit#horroredit#90sedit#.gif#thexfilesnet#*txfrewatch#lol I had like a whole essay written in the tags here of how I feel about this season but I don't want to be too much of a hater so.#it has a few iconic motws that I wouldn't wanna miss out on but as a whole it ranks pretty low for me I think#the mytharc really starts to go off the rails here (intriguing idea with the mass ''abductions'' and all that but who came up with#that nonsense about some war between the alien species. why did that need to be a thing??)#and then some of the most important themes (like scully's faith) simply do not resonate with me#I rlly like the end as an episode and as a season finale tho (hence the quote for the caption. LOVE it) so I'm not saying it's ALL bad :')#*saul queued

"i thought i was fully prepared for the threshold on store // stay your pretty eyes on course // i guess i've never really faced my fears before // so stay with me because // my body's on the line now // pull the blanket tight now // i can feel the light shine on my face"
(jayce, scared, looking in viktor eyes and seeing how scared he is as well and just... coming to him so gently, holding the back of his neck to bring him close to him, forehead to forehead, "i'm here...". and viktor returning the sentiment by gently stroking his arm. it's okay because they are together.)
#jayce comforting viktor with his touch like he always did#and viktor finally letting himself do the same for him#i'm so glad tøp used the blanket as a metaphor for jayce's affection i love it so much#i usually don't like open endings but this one is songood and tragic i hope it stays that way#arcane#jayvik#viktor#jayce#my edits#gif#song: the line - tøp#quotes: the queen of the damned - anne rice

It just keeps coming at me in waves, rolling over me, filling my head with such awful sights.
Bonus:
While drawing the upper one i was wondering why am i even drawing Jon without clothes? Like I know, its for the ✨aesthethic✨but! it got me thinking like in what situation would that happen?? (og post, without the bonus drawing)
#i really like that quote from s5 trailer#i imagined it as all that suffering and fear literally overflowing him#so i wanted to somehow draw that c:#i imagine those are not really his tears#but more like tears of the collective human pain he's feeling#yes im copying the tags from the og post#but im reposting because it didnt show up in the tags anywhere (tragic)#so sorry for that#but also bc it has bonus drawing now yay#making it was delightful i love how sopping wet Jon turned out cccc:#i think he would do this between s4 finale and the begining of s5#before he started recording statements again#it would be just too much for him :c#tma#tma podcast#the magnus archives#magpod#tma spoilers#tma s5#tma season five#jonathan sims#martin blackwood#tma fanart#the archivist#ommetaphobia#body horror#scopophobia#my stuff

Rewatching succession it really is wild to see Kendall and Shiv convince themselves over and over again that they can "fix ATN/Waystar from the inside" only to completely abandon their morals the minute it gives them a strategic advantage.
When they're on the outside it's an endless diatribe about how evil and rotten the company is to its core, but the second they get the slightest whiff of power they suddenly decide the problems are actually really manageable and that with the right leadership it could be a force for good, and like...the saddest part is that they genuinely seem to believe that.
#where's that crime and punishment quote about how the worst thing is that you've betrayed yourself for nothing...#and they really seem to think its true! they genuinely believe that they can turn it around and make it good! it's not an act!#kendall really thinks he's a feminist and 'one of the good ones' and shiv really does think she stands with/for women and liberal#ideals and the truth is that no matter how much they might care about those things they will always love power more and they#are infinitely more invested in the power structures that keep injustice alive than they are in actually trying to stop injustice#roman is the only one who's actually aware and honest about how fucked it all is but he thinks that means everything's bullshit and#therefore nothing matters. which can be just as dangerous as convincing yourself you're the good guy (see: america decides)#that's one of the things i like so much about the ending for shiv and kendall bc they're finally forced to confront the lies they've been#telling themselves. and like. maybe that'll go nowhere. maybe they won't change. but they might. and the only hope they have#of actually growing as people and maybe doing something good is if that illusion gets shattered#idk man i just have so many thoughts about succession#succession#shiv roy#kendall roy

genshin impact gif challenge ✦
[1/?] archon quests → interlude chapter, act iii: inversion of genesis
“do you think there are any differences between your present self and your previous and future incarnations? if not, then what are the differences between humans and puppets? whoever has tasted the joys and sorrows of life in the human realm is human. whoever has loved and lost, cried with grief, howled with rage at the tragedy of death that eclipses the miracle of life... they are human too."
#genshin impact#genshinedit#genshinimpactedit#genshinet#scaramouche#wanderer#mine*#scaramouche*#gifchallenge*#tw flashing#i finally found a way to format quests!!#it hit me yesterday as i was finding a quote to put for raiden then boom here we are#i was gonna make the whole thing black and white and blue hence the first two gifs#but i didn't end up liking how it looked so more colours it is 🫶🏻#also chose a long ass quote for the caption (it's two separate voicelines into one)#but i felt it was important to emphasize the puppet and human description that nahida tells scara#ahhhhh i love this quest a lot i remember having mixed feelings about him erasing his identity when i first played through it#but then i rewatched it again later and ended up liking it more bc it shows that not everyone can just erase themselves from irminsul#the same way rukkhadevata did#god i just miss sumeru so much it's still my fave of all the nations when are we going back y'all 😩#pls give me more scara and nahida interactions i beg they're my favourite platonic pairing ever (besides kazuven ofc)
