I think there’s one or two who will.

idk why I never thought about it, but if we're assuming that this

is the brochure Bucky got at the Smithsonian in 2014, that must mean that he held on to it for two whole years. possibly carrying it in his pocket at first (you can sort of see the marks where it was originally folded), then carefully straightening it and smoothing out the inevitable little crinkles, with a tenderness he'd long forgotten he was even capable of.

moving it from journal to journal as he went through them, so he wouldn't risk losing it.

using it as a bookmark, so it would be the first thing he saw every time he flipped his journal open.

maybe tracing Steve's familiar face with his fingertips, with the odd but unfaltering certainty that he used to know what that felt like. that the memory must be somewhere in the back of his mind still, waiting to be unlocked like a treasure chest.

recalling how, during the war, he'd wished he could have carried a picture of his sweetheart on him like all the other guys did. how he'd wished he could see Steve's face every day, just for something good to hold on to, to keep him going when he felt every last shred of hope slip away from him.

and how, when Steve appeared with his new body and his old recklessness, all too eager to throw himself into battle, Bucky had learned what people meant when they said be careful what you wish for.

just. the notion of Bucky taking this fragile piece of paper in the first place, and then deciding to keep it, and then going out of his way to make sure it wouldn't tear, deliberately keeping it close at hand, cherishing it like it was his most prized possession– yeah no I need a moment

The cutest reminder ever that the way family works in TSAMS canon is that two parties have to be in mutual agreement that they are family. If one party doesn't agree then they aren't family. Parties can revoke familial ties whenever they want and that means they are no longer family.

"Code Relation" theory is stupid because you're then implying that Eclipse is Sun and Moon's child. Which he isn't. Or that Killcode is somehow Moon's child and his brother at the same time that he's Eclipse, Lunar and Bloodmoon's "father" at the same time that they're Sun and Moon's grand children. Like, we're seeing the issue here, right?

Don't make things more complicated than it has to be. Just accept the fact that family is literally determined by a verbal agreement between two animatronics and nothing else because none of them were born from wombs. That means respecting canon when characters in canon decide that they aren't comfortable being family (like Eclipse) or just straight-up disown everyone (like Bloodmoon). It's okay to have headcanons, but don't try to push them onto canon.

Alhaitham really, really loves needling and riling Kaveh up instead of simply telling him directly sometimes lmao (but we all know Kaveh secretly enjoys their back-and-forth just as much, so lol). And I’d also kind of suspected that Alhaitham would be the type to read whatever books or notes Kaveh left lying around in the study or any common shared space in their house—because, of course, he's nosy about Kaveh, just like how Kaveh can't shut up about Alhaitham too all the time even when he isn't there… Hehe...

I miss seeing their silly banters and adore it to bits—I just love that petty bickering over mundane and/or domestic trivialities are just This Thing That They Do Together, even when they have mostly reconciled and are rebuilding their friendship again. But even so, why are they always being Disg0sting (tm) and just.... openly flirting?? in public like this ????? XD

That poor street vendor caught in the middle of their bickering against his will: Uhhh, really? Right in front of mY salad BOOKS???

I LOVE Alhaitham so fucking much, he's so annoying (affectionate!!!) and effortlessly funny but tbh SAME LOL.... Me, whenever I'm plotting the secret paingst/sudden plot-twists in my fics lmfaodskfjsvk

Lol this screencap really sums them up entirely: Kavetham being a public nuisance and third-wheeling any poor soul nearby, caught in 4K

[that-ineffable-devil]

I know I already posted about this but it was on a reblog that I think got buried under the original and I need someone else to lose their mind with me.

So the wonderful human that commented on this post about Hell's understaffing problem made me rethink something that I think a lot of us are sleeping on: Hell is RATIONING something.

At the beginning of S2 in between other remarks, Shax mentions that Beelzebub has put some lower ranking demons "on half rations." But we know celestials and infernals generally don't eat, so surely it's not food, right?

So what could they be rationing?

And then I remembered how both Heaven and Hell keep close tabs on the miracles done by Crowley and Aziraphale on Earth--even the little things.

And how, in S1, Hastur is stuck in Hell waiting for "maintenance" to come fix a leak in the ceiling. It's played off as a joke and it's something that would be so mundane for a human in an office or apartment building, so we don't give it much thought... But they can do miracles. They could literally fix that with a snap. We've seen Crowley fix the Bentley, so surely a little leak is nothing.

And Aziraphale gets reprimanded for doing "too many frivolous miracles," which we initially ignore because it's exactly the kind of bureaucratic/corporate BS we'd expect from Heaven and Hell.

But what if it's not just BS?

What if the power sources used by angels and demons are not infinite? Worse, what if they're not replenishable?

What if Hell is rationing miracles, because there's not enough power to go around?

And if so, where's the power coming from?

Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

I like The Wayne Family Adventures. It's very wholesome and emotional. Maybe it's because I can relate more to those depictions of overcoming mental struggles and committing shenanigans. It's like finding a cozy and good fanfic, except it's endorsed!!!

It's awesome that there's such a broad amount of DC content for all sorts of tastes. It makes me feel a bit sad when people dunk on it, because it's not what they personally like. That's valid! But that doesn't mean it's shit! It's got no value for one person, but for another person, it's got a lot. And that's totally alright! It's like bringing more cake to a party. Ain't nothing bad about more cake. Everyone gets to eat what they like.

I'm absolutely stunned by the amazing minds in the Young Royals fandom.

I was super okay appreciating the show for what it is, an amazing piece of media with queer themes treated with care, amazing acting, wonderful storyline and especially two lead actors who are not only great at their jobs but also have unmatched, effervescent chemistry with each other.

And then, AND THEN! I came across some posts of the analyses of the show and the different scenes and the hidden meanings behind the smallest of gestures and AAAAAAAAAAAH. They all add so much glorious depth to an already glorious TV show??

Like Young Royals has layers upon layers of hidden meaning and the Young Royals fandom it's so good at discovering and deciphering them all??

I feel like this pretty much all the time when reading an analysis post:

I'm in awe of all of you, you guys are the most intelligent fandom I've ever seen. I appreciate every post and they seriously make me want to watch the show all over again, all the time!! 💜💜

Okay, but Nightmare and Killer could be Mother Gothel and Rapunzel coded if I think about it...

Thinking specifically about that AU I made a few days ago where Killer fails to escape with Color and Nightmare's emotional reaction to it is increased paranoia which leads to him shortening Killer's leash significantly and never leaving him alone.

That version of Nightmare definitely would lock Killer in a tower if needed. And he's not above pulling some Mother Knows Best and Mother Knows Best (Reprise) on his ass.

Also, by "if needed" I mean if he starts suspecting that just keeping him by his side is no longer enough. Aka probably after the Epic Sanses, Dust, and Horror try to rescue him the first time. It doesn't matter if Killer "willingly" came back to him because he came back with doubts and Nightmare cannot allow that. Doubts are what led to the incident (Killer trying to escape with Color before) in the first place.

Besides, Color does genuinely have a role that's very similar to that of Flynn Rider in Killer's story. And, thinking specifically about the Mother Knows Best (Reprise) song, Nightmare is not above setting him up to make it look like he's only using Killer, just like Mother Gothel did with Flynn. Like, he could definitely twist his altruism to make it look like selfishness. Something like "Oh, you're just his pity project. He just wants to use you to make himself feel better/important/powerful". It doesn't really matter that it's all bullshit, because Color isn't there to disprove any of it. And when he will be, well I'm sure Nightmare has some trap ready for him

So, we're almost complete with the guide! We have one more section and then the credits to add in. :) We're SO CLOSE.

This is just a small portion of what's to come. We have SO much more! It'll all be uploaded in chapters on Ao3, but will be available in a Google Docs format so you can have it on your computer or phone. There's loads more I haven't shown, so I hope ya'll are as excited as I am!

Do you want to hear a funny story?

So you know that I was drawing spiderverse comics lately. Because they are fun to do. And I think people like them. I mean the most popular one has like 4K notes? That's lot for me when I usually dwell in tiny fandoms made out of like 3 people and their dog. So it's nice, everybody is having fun and I'm grateful.

but

BUT

I just found out that somebody took few of that comics. Cut them up and run the text through ai reading voice and posted it as reels on fucking youtube.

And it's not even that I'm stumped why even turn 4 pictures into video. First time I see such a time wasting thing but ok. People do like different things.

And even lke some effort was done to erase text from speech bubbles so it appears as the ai spews it aloud but it's not even about it

I had pictures taken and posted somewhere else. Usually without credit. At least this time it was credited? I guess I should be grateful.

What fucking gets me is that those comics have several hundred thousand views and few hundred comments each.

Like fucking seriously.

I don't know what's the point

I don;t know what should I feel about this

I mean unless you can make money on youtube reels? Then I can at least be pissed about it. Nice clean feeling?

Because what gets me is that most of those comments are nice so I should be happy about it? I guess? But I feel like a pathetic peeping tom looking for appreciation that wasn't given to me actually eve if I did the thing

ugh

I'm just tired

this day was already shitty so i guess it's time to give up and take a nap

next comic will be delayed

for so many years toey has watched q with starry eyes, both knowingly and unknowingly - at the cafe, at university - and he's always quick to say how much he loves p'q, how he's so important to toey.

but it's q who first says to toey 'you are my favourite view', and it's q who draws toey and it's so soft and pretty and you can feel the lovestruck gaze q sees him through, and it's q that smiles so wide and carries toey on his back and holds his hand and peppers him with kisses and. I just think that's. well. you know. I feel normal about it <3

Your pastimes consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called "Crying Lightning"

detail + musings below

I haven't been able to stop thinking about that trailer! I'm so unbelievably hyped for this and Kojima's next espionage game (MGS 3 is one of my all time fave games! ahhhh! ❤️)

I miss the old Higgs' design, it was very strong but maybe this clown will grow on me, who knows lol. I can't believe I actually wanted to draw those equations on his forehead (I used to find it tedious. I took them for granted 😭)

something cool I noticed when drawing this: the makeup below his eyes appear to be inspired by the stripes you see on Nemes - the striped headcloths worn by pharaohs. unrelated to DS but about the song I chose: it's one of my fave Arctic Monkeys songs, I heard it live and I haven't been the same since - it gives me Higgs vibes! one of the interpretations on Genius suggested that "crying lightning" refers to the streaks that form on someone's face when their mascara runs.
