Um, so, I rolled my eyes at the person who said H was with Zara at the SC show the other day… I’ll admit.

It seemed way too unlikely. Too much of a stretch.

But, uh.

This is who Zara went with.

This is the back of his shirt:

This is the picture of H at the SC show.

You see the guy one seat down from him? With what looks like a blonde next to H and a brunette on the other side of the bald guy?

The Silmarillion is a book that fills me with many emotions, but the only part that makes me feel anger -not tragic grief at the narrative, but real anger- is the ending where the Lord of the Rings is summarized in three paragraphs.

It makes me feel anger because it gives a comparison for just how summarized the rest of the Silmarillion is. The entire fall of the Noldor, written in a way that condenses Frodo and Sam’s whole journey to “alone with his servant he passed through peril and darkness and came at last in Sauron’s despite even to Mount Doom”.

What else did Tolkien imagine over five hundred years of history that didn’t make it into any of his notes? What did he not imagine that still must have occurred? Who are the Boromirs and the Eowyns and the Bilbos of the first age? What witch-kings did they slay and what quests did they begin? What were the riddles and the detours and the love stories?

Its all been forgotten. No one knows anymore, and it’s likely that no one ever did. Not even Professor Tolkien.

that arcane scene where viktor goes 'in all timelines, in all possibilities, only you." except it's lizzie and joel doing their silly versus minecraft videos together. then it's the king of mezalea marrying the ocean queen. then it's the god of stratos befriending the tiny cat mayor who lives next to him. then it's joel in secret life being the only one to attend his wifes birthday party. then it's joel alone on hermitcraft building endless statues and monuments for his wife that he can show to her. then it's joel giving her diamonds in wild life despite them being on opposite teams and her literally killing him. then it's him standing in a beautiful incredible city of his own making and saying publicly that his favourite build ever is the one he made of her.

Poolverine Headcannons that No One Asked For:

• They are both desperately touch-starved and thus are practically glued to one another

• People assume Logan is annoyed at Wade constantly talking and never shutting up but Logan likes listening to him speak and genuinely enjoys hearing his voice

• Logan makes biscuits (like a cat) when he’s nervous

• Logan purrs (like a cat) when he’s happy/cuddling with Wade

i WANT coach sidney to take care of me. now.

since we're on this casual dom train...

♡ in my world, i have a job that requires me to do a lot of brain work, so when i come home i am spent. he'd make all the decisions for you...what to eat, what bath bomb to use, what pajamas to put on.

♡ if you're sick? dr. sidney to the rescue. he's gonna put vitamins in your water, make sure you have tissues at the table. but he'd also make sure you're not bed rotting (ugh such a dad), you get up and move around a little bit. he'd give you a massage from having sore muscles too.

♡ on your period? he'll make sure to get out everything that you need. tampons, heating pad, candy, tea, soda- whatever eases you for the first couple days that are the worst. (and if you're like me and you get kitty cramps, he'd help out there too but that's for another blurb...)

♡ or if you just need a day to yourself? he'd help you out there too. he'd give you his card and tell you to get all your shopping done, get coffee. while he'd be a little lonely at home by himself, he'd still be happy that you got to be by yourself and reset for a little bit.

Isokania

The biggest issue between Kakania and Isolde is a lack of understanding between the two. Kakania enjoys her close bond with Isolde they consider each other the closest person to them. But they don’t have an understanding of each other. Isolde thinks Kakania is the answer to all of her problems, he golden key, and almost idolifies her at times, and Kakania sees Isolde as a good person going through constant tragedy. The two of them mutually have a false idea of who the other truly is. In 6.17 Kakania talks about Isolde’s art of channeling spirits and how she uses it to be the star of Vienna. However what Kakania doesn’t know is how Isolde doesn’t stop channeling when she’s off stage, the CGs of Book 6 even ellude to how Isolde sees ever place in public view as a stage. Kakania has never once considered that Isolde wasn’t the person she portrays herself to be, and Isolde refuses to consider that Kakania isn’t the one she’s been waiting for.

Isolde and Kakania are also extremely stubborn people. Kakania is stubborn as a job hazard of having to fight for her own credibility, and Isolde’s natural temperament is reserved stubbornness. She decides what she believes in and without consulting others or stating her stance, Isolde sticks to it resolutely. Kakania acts in accordance to what she knows and learns, she's very stubborn about her morals and values of justice. Kakania is headstrong about her way being the correct way while Isolde is the same. Isolde is a reserved person as a job hazard of being a celebrity. Not only has she actively seen what stardom can bring through Playwright, she was raised to expect and ignore it. As such, Isolde is very resolute in who she places her trust in. Once she’s decided to consciously let someone in she waits at her Door for them to come in to her inner world. The tragedy for them is that she decided to let in someone who already thought she had seen Isolde’s inner world. Isolde refuses to believe anyone could ever understand let alone heal her besides Kakania. Isolde doesn’t believe anyone can save her besides Kakania, even when Theopil predicted Isolde’s mental state would deteriorate and sought out a way to help her.

Another reason they were doomed is the fact Kakania believed too much in Isolde. Kakania sincerely believed in Isolde and chose to believe that the rumors surrounding her following in Evangeline’s footsteps. To her credit, at that time the rumors weren’t true. But I feel like the issue also wrapped around to the fact Kakania was an unprofessional therapist to Isolde. @schneiderenjoyer talks about it at length in their live analysis. She underestimated the depths of Isolde’s mental instability because she didn’t think there was any larger problem than depression from the rapid deaths in her family. As a follower of Freud’s theories and an arcanist, Kakania should’ve been more aware that disrupting a person's ID and SUPEREGO could lead to consequences. She figured Isolde’s tears and initial confession about Theopil coming at her while on fire was the depths of her ID or unconscious instinct without morals. But Kakania is an arcanist, in 1914 no less, she had to face a lot of legal issues concerning people using dirty tactics either to tear her down or get their way. She believed in Isolde too much that her worst would be intrusive thoughts about harming herself due to guilt because of her proximity to Isolde. But Kakania didn’t consider her past in an environment of violence and family disposition.

Isolde also lacks proper coping mechanisms. There are quite a few arcanists with mental illnesses we see in the game however they all have some kind of coping mechanism to help self-soothe. It's not the same situation but Mesmer Jr. talks about how her anxiety is uncurable, but she has a lot of anxious tics to self soothe which we see her do in the series. Semmelweis who's similar to Isolde, with her condition growing worse with time, shows in [Echoes Into the Mountain] that she consistently reality checks her surroundings and mental state. Isolde however, doesn't have any coping mechanisms outside seeking out Kakania for her comforting presence.

It’s unclear exactly when or if she got acting lessons from Mr. Karl (if she had it be between 13-15), but Isolde uses acting as a defense mechanism. The Star of Vienna is a persona for her and something she’ll always fall back into when panicking instead of actually feeling her emotions. She'll separate herself from her urges and emotions, or tell spirits to possess her “whether willing to or not” so she can have a break. Isolde is unable to be clearly open, as shown in her character event. She acts Kakania if she noticed a door in her house, personifying herself as an unnoticeable within the Dittarsdorf house. Even after Kakania doesn’t give her the answer she wants, Isolde ignores it in a way. Stating Kakania will still be “the golden key to open her door.” Isolde was likely content to wait until Kakania finally “saw her,” or until she manipulated Kakania into being her key.

I have Crowley as my phone background (as one has) and someone standing near me noticed and asked me who that is. And after about two minutes of me explaining Crowley, the conversation went like this:

Person: "That sounds like a man written by a woman."

Me: "He isn't."

Person: "Really? I can't imagine him being written by a man."

Me: "Well, plot twist. He is written by two men."

Person: *error 404 brain not found*

imagine art with like a younger gf! who like forces him to make silly little tiktoks or smth and hes just happy to be there aweeee

Nonnieee this is so sweet 😭🩷

Thinking about older! Art not having ANY social media besides instagram, which he doesnt even use cause it ran by his manager since its a business acc.

I can just imagine you setting up your phone and him being confused and asking what you're doing. Doing the "tell me that you love me" victorious trend and him being so confused and being like "wtf even is victorious" and also the watch my s/o for me trend. Hes just doing whatever you ask him to, looking at you with lovesick plastered all over his face. Eyes full of adoration. Also imagine doing the moon river trend with him 😔✊🏻.

Imagine setting up your phone and him being like

"What are you doing" and then you telling him to just stand there. Waiting to see if he'll pass the victorious trend. Looking at him expectantly, then he finally gets it and is like "i love you" and "you take my breath away" 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[estcaligo]

No because do you understand??

Out of context, but this shot with Sebek says

"Endless praise" or "continuous admiration" and he looks you right in the eyes???? Okay????

And before this it flashes with many 縷縷 (ruru) - meaning "in great detail" "meticulously"

(And 賛辞 (sanji) is an elegant and formal way to describe words of praise, especially with admiration etc.)

So like...out of context but

"Showering with endless praise/admiration" (in great detail)

looking right at us ooookay😭😭💚💚💚💚

*But since 縷縷 consists of kanji for "thread, string" (deliberately chosen for Diasomnia, of course) it can also be translated as

"A string of uninterrupted praise"

Beautiful 😭💚

Gareth: Booty or boob?

Eddie, leering at Steve: Why choose when I already got both?

Steve, blushing: I'm a boob guy, btw.

Eddie, smirking: Oh ho? I thought you're a balls guy–

Gareth: Jesus Christ. Get out, the both of you!

Jeff: Is this supposed to make us single guys jealous?

Grant, nodding sagely: Eddie's right. Only children have to choose. Adults will get both.

DE AQUÍ NO SALES

[buddiesmutslut]

Okay, so this is a parallel of 7x04, right?? Buck takes an action, somebody gets hurt, & he spirals about whether he actually meant to hurt them or not.

I’ve been thinking about the difference between Maddie & Eddie’s reactions for a week already, but tonight sent it home for me.

Maddie said “it’s not like you meant to hurt him.” Even though she doesn’t automatically assume that he did, that’s still her first thought. When Buck hesitates & says he doesn’t know for sure, she immediately scolds him. “That’s not how you get someone’s attention, we don’t hurt the people we care about.” Given her backstory, it makes sense.

Eddie’s automatic thought is, “You saved him.” There’s no doubt in Eddie’s mind that Buck meant to help, not harm. It doesn’t even enter his thought process. When Buck freaks out, Eddie can’t think of why he would be doing that, bc Buck saved Gerrard’s life. What else could have happened?

Buck & Maddie will always see each other the way they did growing up, even if only in a small part of their minds. Maddie is Superman who has everything under control & all the answers, and Buck is the one who reacts rashly & causes damage for a scrap of attention. Their childhood was so intense & they only really had each other, they were literally in the trenches together their entire childhood, so there will always be bias there.

& I’m thinking of Eddie telling Buck in s5 that maybe Chimney knew Maddie better than Buck did. That maybe the partners they have now are able to see them clearer than their siblings.

Eddie’s trust & belief in Buck is steady & unwavering, even when Buck doesn’t believe in himself and it makes me want to SCREAM a little bit bc oh my god.

I have no idea where they’re going with this arc, but WOW I can’t wait.
