#Is the ritualist

[chamoemileclown]

Carre really carried and then red team devolved into madness when he left

I hadn't realised how dear this one was to me until we lost it in the tournament... but I think it's because the moment mirrors this one from ep1 but now Edwin's eyes linger on the touch, because so much has changed.. idk it just hit me today that there is so much in that small gesture...

There is something in this fanart that feels like a Renaissance sculpture of a biblical representation and I am not even sorry

for an anonymous benefactor who asked for super-soft supercorp: do you guys ever think about dying the moments of tenderness Kara and Lena get to share now that canon can no longer get in the way?

"Luigi Mangione was framed" is such a gentle and calming phrase to me, it doesn't need anything after it. Sure and likely enough, with the NYCPD alone, sure, sure. And with no trial and no conviction and no real reason to argue, yes, it's right and fair to say it. Luigi Mangione was framed.

You know they're gonna kill him anyway.

[ID: Panel from chapter 104 of Natsume's Book of Friends. Natori and Matoba are doing an exorcism together. They each have an elaborate spell inked onto their right hand. /end ID]

i think they're both right-handed (see ch 54 for matoba and ch 80 for natori, just for example), so. they drew these charms on each other right. ugh. talk about constructing intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men. like well well well what have we here. the rituals are literally rituals. and would you look at that. they're fucking intricate.

Something I find very interesting as a researcher is the fact that all pokemon (accept Nihilego, maybe) have their own 'languages' and cultures. Weavile draw symbols on trees to communicate with other Weavile, and I don't think we tall enough how big of a deal that is. These pokenon have their own writing system, and we're NOT talking about it?

Tinkaton make little towns out of discarded metals or on mountains and even have scheduled gatherings where they trade metals with each other.

Bisharp have their own groups and may even have a writing system, just like Weavile. They make tools like baskets and use their claws to give messages.

I know it may not seem like much, but it's just so interesting to me. I tried asking Joker (my orbeetle) about it because Orbeetle are really smart and he has found ways to communicate with me via telepathy, but all I really get from him are things about pokepuffs or wanting to rewatch A Bug's Life. But, one time, I asked him about Orbeetle Culture and he said something about space. Granted, I caught him as a young Blipbug so I dont really know how much he knows, but I'll take it!

Anyways, I'm probably going to make a series explaining different pokemon behaviors and all of that, lol

Heard a lot of people saying that the pacing was messed up for this episode and the yellowjackets collective decision to kill came but personally I liked that it all came crashing down at once. In one episode we see that small storylines from the very beginning of the season - Mari's dripping noise, Akilah's mouse - are all in fact symptoms of the hunger that has slowly been eating away (ha) at the girls' respective and collective psyches. The realisation that they are all about to die comes about very immediately, but only because they've all been deluding themselves these past few episodes. They've been slowly wasting away and they didn't realise until it was almost too late, and at that point drastic action is needed.

kai winn is one of the most tragic characters in star trek canon. shaped by occupation, by violence, and by the fates decreed by literal god-like beings that know and affect the future, and always trying to honour the rights of these gods without ever being given direction from them, while others who haven't suffered for them or at times people who don't even really believe in them are granted visions and support. she's guided by what she has before her, and she's steadfast about honouring her ideals right up until the the final straw breaks her back, and it takes a long time for that straw to land. and even that turning is apparently beyond her control, fated to have happened the whole time. she was never in control of her destiny and her destiny was never to honour her gods like she desperately wanted to

textbook shakespearian classic tragedy. you perform the exact role that you are meant to perform and you're lauded for it, except for perhaps those naysayers who don't understand or who weren't worthy of the status they have to begin with by all accounts of the rules that have always applied until now, until suddenly (or so gradually that you didn't notice the change) that role becomes something villainous, and then you shun the people who abandoned you first. it was always going to end this way. she was never going to be okay. she was never going to get answers. the narrative is the prophets and the prophets were always bringing her right here. the betrayal of it all.

the most brutal thing about the cactus ring is the bare-handedness of it all.

scar’s death is slow and painful, and every point of damage is dealt out by grian’s hands. there’s not point of disconnection between him and a sword, or a bow or anything. he is literally killing his best friend with his bare hands.

and he can feel the blood. he can feel the cracks in his knuckles. he feels it all. they both start laughing so they don’t think about it, but they can feel each other dying. and at the end of the games it won’t matter; and at the end of the games they’ll see each other again, but grian will still have murdered scar, and will still have done it with his own two hands.

scar fades into dust and grian looks around, feeling sick. his body has disappeared but his blood remains. on his hands. it sets the sand of the desert and turns it into yellow-brown clumps. everything is hot and uncomfortable. he breathes heavily. he can hear the voices, from the other side. and he thinks of scar as he jumps.

and then they’re back, in the void, and they look at each other. grian is bloody and scar is eerily untouched. they try not to think about the last time they had touched each other. grian tries to break the tension with a joke, but it falls flat. they simply stare at each other, with the strange of knowledge of how it felt to try to kill each other.

fellas is it gay to visit your athlete rival who you haven't seen in ten years just so you can tell her that you want to see her and you miss her and also goad her into getting back into the olympics so you can see the light in her eyes again

[nataliesscatorccio]

do you ever start crying because all of the horrible things the yellowjackets did, they did out of love for each other?

I.. i just rewatched the love you want video because i needed exact reference for the sword.. and it only reached my brain that Vessel has a fucking wakizashi in it, not a katana or a tachi. He uses a fucking wakizashi you guys. That fuckin man.. arrrrggghhhh. It's infuriating -in the best way possible- how much attention to detail can be there with this collective. It's a backup weapon for close quarters and mainly beheading opponents. Which he tries to do btw with the dancers. BUT ALSO for harakiri sometimes. WHAT HE IS FORCED TO DO BEFORE THE LOOP BEGINS ANEW. HOW HAVE I MISSED THIS ALL THIS TIME.

Thinking about the inherent intimacy of dissection

Thinking about how ritualistic it is to slowly take apart a creature piece by piece

Thinking about how reverential it is to methodically pin back skin to reveal organs and membrane

Thinking about Charlie Dowd

Thinking about how the only time The King in Yellow showed any sort of tenderness to Charlie was when he was under the knife

Thinking about how the only time The King in Yellow was in any ways gentle towards Charlie was when he was tearing him open and causing him pain

Thinking about how the only time The King in Yellow could resemble kind was when Charlie was at his most vulnerable

Thinking about…
