Barbara Manning - Isn't Lonely Lovely (1997)

One of my favorite music blogs flankingmanoeuvres posted a song from the same LP, reminding me about this incredible tune. Backed by Joey Burns and John Convertino of Calexico.

HOLY SHIT I FOUND YOU!! I SAW YOUR FNAF ART LIKE A YEAR AGO ON PINTREST AND I WAS LIKE DAMN THATS PRETTY FUCKING AWSOME BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I COULDN'T FIND THE ARTIST BUT I JUST DID, ITS YOU!!

I have no idea which art of mine you found from pinterest but based on what you're implying I lowkey think it's this screenshot redraw I made for the FNAF movie lmao (which I hope I'm right)

Unfortunately you won't get much FNAF art from me nowadays anon, ever since Ruin disappointed me immensely I've just lost most of the hope I've been clinging onto for the franchise, now I'm just here... reminiscing, watching from the sidelines, and making a once-in-a-blue-moon art for it if I'm feeling extra

Halo

[lonestardust]

TK always in his line of sight, hands always open and reaching out, ready to hold him or rub his back or squeeze the back of his neck, carlos always keeping him a little too close, just a reassurance — but also pure affection and gravitation towards his person — when TK is anxious or worried and cross, and he'll say something to stop TK in his tracks to center him if he needs the reminder that he's pushing too much. AND THAT'S LOVE!!!!!!!! THESE ARE TWO SOULMATES !!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, it's hard for me to get excited about this or even the possibility of a Texas Ranger Carlos spin-off from 911 Lone Star

For one thing, while S8 is off to an amazing start, similar arguments could be made for S7 up to this point (compared to previous seasons). There are also some leftover flaws from last season that have yet to be fixed.

But more than that, the fact that Lone Star is ending when it has been literally getting better every season. Even only five episodes in, S5 is arguably the best of them all, and the only argument is we're missing Grace.

Even if the Carlos spin-off happens, we might get TK but maybe not much and probably not in every episode, and we might never see the rest of the 126 ever again. I love Tarlos but I also love Paul, Nancy, Mateo, Marjan, Judd and especially Tommy (Grace too of course). I would rather see their stories continued than try to get interested in either of these new shows.

It's Padmé defending's hours for me

I have been seeing more negative (with very weird connotations, tbh) posts about Padmé on my dash lately, and while I'm a firm believer of the "scroll past it" rule, it really irks me a lot because MOST of these takes sound a bit mysoginistic to me and also (to me) shows a lack of trying to understand her as a character, not in a "you don't get her" way, but in a "you don't even try to understand the character and her context in the damn story just because you wanna sound holy than thou" way.

I'm all for accepting takes about Padmé's flaws or having a slightly more privileged/closed view (and that makes sense, she's aristocracy) but these people are SO WEIRD whenever they wanna talk about her 🤨

I'll forever mad that George eliminated SO MANY scenes with Padmé in the movies, but I feel like even if we had those scenes, people's complaints would be exactly the same.

But also i think half of the time people fail at understanding Padmé is because they're also failing to understand Anakin's as a character, idk

It's all about Nagi living alone in a tiny one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with zero personality and Reo having a whole floor for himself but still living surrounded by tacky-expensive home decor with no apparent traces of his actual personality, either. It's all about how Nagi's parents haven't visited him in 2 years nor taken an interest in his life since, while Reo's are content to live floors apart from their teenage son, only taking an interest in what value he can bring to Mikage Corp but being otherwise uninvolved in / dismissive of his actual life. It's all about them being surrounded by people and still not knowing how to form a meaningful connection with another person before meeting each other. It's all about them being so starved for genuine human warmth to combat their bone-deep loneliness that they both treasure memories of tiny, inconsequential moments where they were spending time with their parents. Something something it's this line,

and how it describes them both despite being said about Reo. It's them being awkward 17-year-olds who had never before had an equal who would just respect them as they are and unconditionally look their way. In this essay I will-

i reckon it's this moment which endeared us all so much to Nordic Bunny right away (besides his banging design of course)...the poor guy's lonely 🥺 he wants to take over the Earth not just to add to his empire, but because he wants to have friends!!! and so he'll never be alone again!!! 😭😭😭

I bet miao miao's favorite author is actually mu sheng's real life version

I bet the game she's trapped in is actually based on HIS convoluted novel

I bet they'll meet outside the game

(this is me projecting a happy ending)

The Traveler's loneliness

When you REALLY think about it, The Traveler themselves is one of ( if not) the most heartbreaking character in all of Genshin Impact I'm so serious. They barely have any genuine friend they can share or is willing to listen to their problems with. They never do this with Paimon because they know what they're worried and scared about is far too heavy for her to handle. Like in the Sumeru quest in the first dream they're cannonicaly deathly afraid that their family bond with their twin isn't enough to bring them back together. They always make time to listen to and help their friends ( and ENEMIES sometimes, i.e Scaramouche) go through their struggles but not one of them ever ask The Traveler how they're doing. Not one of them steps up and is as earnestly willing to help the Traveler as they did everyone else. And like.. that's so heartbreaking. We've never even seen them cry.

Even after saving/help saving five countries they're only barely an inch to finding what's going on with their sibling. The only person who could possibly understand them , and is consequently the one leading the group that's causing all the trouble for her Teyvatian friends. On TOP of that there's the fact that they'll always be an outsider no matter how much they do for Teyvat. The fact that they actually love Teyvat so much but can never connect with it the way everyone around them does. ( My headcannon is that Traveler does all these things not just because they think it's right but also because they don't want to be useless to Teyvat, and that they don't want to be hated and singled out just for being an outsider). And on TOP on top of that Traveler has been lied to and manipulated and betrayed and looked down upon more times than they can count even by people they call friends ( Kaeya, Zhong Li, Childe, Raiden etc etc).

And furthermore it's canon that they're slowly loosing their mind from all of this. Look at the Caribert quest, and the recent Lantern Right trailer where they're eating with their sibling, their crazy dreams about their twin where it seems like they're there with them. LIKE UUUUGH. Aether/Lumine is actually SUCH an interesting and complex character they make me SICK.

thinking about how tk reacts to being called the coach's son, how upset he is, how he turns to recounting his accomplishments, trying to create that distance between them, and thinking about how many times he's done this before. what it must've been like to grow up as owen strand's son in the aftermath of 9/11. the boy whose dad saved so many people and lost his entire crew, then rebuilt his entire firehouse. thinking about how many times tk's been called the coach's son, accused of being favored because of who his dad is, unable to exist outside of owen's shadow for all incredible, wonderful, heroic reasons that somehow don't feel that way. the tension between loving his dad and being so proud of him and resenting him a little for all of it.
