#Past Guests

the more we see of harrenhal the funnier it is to me that house strong has produced three of the most normal and reasonable characters on this show, and the fourth is weird in ways that seemingly have nothing to do with having been raised in a haunted castle

the thing is you have to get a good grade in being an art commissioner. you cannot be a bitch when paying for art. you have to be patient and nice. i have not been perfect in my years of paying other furries for art of my funny animals but i can, with confidence, say ive gotten a good grade. artist friends of mine agree im awesome and fankly the Keys to being Awesome at being a commissioner are just like. being nice and recognizing artists arent machines. theyre people who have their own lives and are not infront of their tablet drawing for everyone 24/7. youll find them posting about some game or movie when youve been waiting three weeks for something and thats fine. youll find them having difficulty getting something exactly like how it is in your brain because, like all people, they cannot read your mind. you gotta have everything ready and upfront and be ready to answer questions. its fine to be a little nitpicky and a little "sorry im not quite sure on this pose, could you do X Y and Z" and not be an asshole about it. after a certain number of "can you do X different" you have to realize its either not going to be exactly how you want it to be or the artist is going to want to kill you with hammers. and thats fine. i think artists have every right to want to kill you with hammers.

the other Zuko time travel AU idea is that when he travels back in time, he ends up right back where he started a year ago when Aang came out of the iceberg... except he arrives two years early, right after the men leave the Southern Water Tribe.

and by that I mean, he lands face first in the snow, panics and ends up playing dumb. yes, he's Fire Nation. no, he doesn't actually know how he got here either (not technically a lie). no, he's not here to harm anyone and he wouldn't want to. he's working against the Fire Nation. Promise. For real.

And it's... a little hard to take the guy who just manifested in the middle of your village and faceplanted in the snow as a threat. Zuko figures well. fuck it. Aang's going to come out of that iceberg eventually. He might as well stick around here. What else is he going to do? Besides, they look like they could use the help around here... and if he's being honest, he's still feeling pretty guilty about the whole. ramming his ship into their village thing.

Hey, maybe he can even give Sokka some warrior tips- and Katara some waterbending tips. He remembers some of the katas he saw her practice. This could work out great!

(also Sokka and Katara are so small. holy shit.)

you've heard of (character) adopts Zuko. Now get ready for Zuko adopts Sokka and Katara.

Howdy! Sorry I’ve been super inactive this week, I got abruptly very busy and have spent much of my time running around like a chicken and then subsequently flopping about in utter exhaustion like a beached fish — but I should be able to get to unanswered asks in the next couple days, and I’m almost finished with the fem!skk comic I’ve been working on! :D (it got a bit long lol)

So anyway, in the meantime here are some extra fem!Dazai doodles I made :0

They really fumbled the season 14 emotional core specifically by not having Mary be present and recognisably Mary for MOST of the season. It feels like we see more of her after her death than before it, and when we do see her before it she's a completely different character who's their uncomplicatedly loving mom.

Take season 10 Charlie, who was present and dynamic and alive and forming new relationships with other major characters and was generally a big part of the plot for season 10. Take season 12 Mary even! So cool they fridged her thrice. The high level of emotion from Dean and Sam after her (apparent) s12 finale death was meaningful to the audience because Mary IS season 12. Take season 7 Bobby! He is active and present and having an emotional arc and has been consistently a part of the fabric of the show.

And compare these to season 14 where she is living in a cabin with an unimportant side character, she's being sweet and motherly full stop, she's in The Pearl where her husband comes back from the dead and she has NO complicated scenes or emotions to process with Dean or Sam and gets maybe 3 lines in the whole 'pisode. The show doesn't give a fuck about her. And this is after season 13 where she's mostly in another world doing fuck all.

For a death to have weight in fiction you need to remind the audience consistently that THIS CHARACTER IS IMPORTANT by having them form new relationships, do things for the plot and generally be present onscreen. As it stands, even though intellectually I know that if MY mom got killed and her murderer came to see me going 🥺 it was her fault really 🥺 will you comfort me 🥺 and I knew they were going to kill more people, I would probably be easily persuaded to put them in eternal prison or shoot them in the head - the emotional truth of it on the show just doesn't carry through.

It feels like an overreaction for Dean to be so angry about this for so long because the show didn't care about Mary enough to have her around. What is he losing by not having her around? In season 14, they don't show us. They did in s12 - the potential to be seen, and the complex joy of getting to know his actual mother rather than the idea of her. And by not showing us, it makes it not exist, because its a tv show and anything that isn't being depicted implicitly isn't important to the story. If you removed all of Mary's scenes from s14 before her death, what would change? Pretty much nothing.

Now to be clear, I don't think they should have fridged Mary at all. But they could have at least done it properly. The sexism that made the writers less bothered about characterising Mary thoughtfully in s14 is a blight on the show.

Just a couple of girls from The Free Marches

"I can't believe the girl I taught to weave flowers at the Arlathvhen grew up to be the 'fearsome' Inquisitor."

"I can't believe Varric didn't put two and two together sooner that we might have already known each other."

"Try not to blame him, you're so different from the girl I knew from back then."

"I'm still just a Dalish girl from The Marches"

Today I woke up and chose silliness!

(yes, the mood of my posts is all over the place but this is what you signed up for, it's literally in the name x'D)

This is another contribution to the silly rabbit au (by @cuubism ) featuring @magnusbae 's Dream in a hoodie.

“nina- that’s right, isn’t it? my son seems to call you everything but your name.” lynne is curious about the girl her son has home for christmas. she would be with any girlfriend of his, to be fair, but… she’s very obviously a different situation than when he was in high school. and not just because lynne has never met her, though that certainly adds to the situation. “i know you’re not from around here- i can imagine this little town is nothing like europe. how do you like it?” but then as much as the question is loaded with other possible questions… the girl who had left gucci loafers by the door and wore a dress lynne was fairly sure was from this season… is now in her former kitchen wearing her son’s old cotton t-shirt from some skate competition. there’s something endearing about it. even if she knows her son likely notices none of the tells of his girlfriend’s clearly immense wealth. plus well- maybe they’re both fish out of water as lynne sleeps in the guest bedroom of her former home to be close for her son the next few days. “i know ricky probably told you i was… critical of his ex… i hope we can start on our own terms. not based on lily. ricky seems serious about you.” so she’s going to do her best to get on board. even if time will tell.

Important lil thing

Hello, Horselord here! Just got a lil thing to say!

So I have a few sideblogs! One for my Narrator (@askunwantedguestnarrator) and one for my Timekeeper. (@glitchyattraction) Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of asks for my Narry, which REALLY means a lot to me. So thank you for that.

But I just wanna say one thing.

THIS MAN IS AN ASSHOLE

he will barely answer questions because he doesn’t feel like it and will not give the info you crave 😭

so that’s where I come in!

if you have any questions about my Narrator or anything involving the Unwanted Guest AU, ask me instead of THIS DORK

you can TRY to ask him, but he will not give a clear answer

he’s too secretive 😔

so ask me general questions about the AU, and you can interact and try to ask my TK and Narry about it.

aight that’s it toodles!

no one understands how badly i need oscar to be team torque’s special guest, like imagine the sheer chaos this trio would bring to the williams motor house

[jessiesjaded]

I really cannot reiterate enough how jarring re-watching the x files has been in regard to just how different everyone looks as compared to the modern tv shows I'm used to- Scully has eyebags and visible freckles, sometimes her hair is a bit fizzy- Mulder has chest hair and forehead wrinkles, characters will sometimes have red marks or pimples, they actually cast women in their 40s and 50s as side characters who look their age rather than having a severe amount of work and make-up and lighting done, frequently they're still framed in a desirable way, people's hair looks so much more normal and natural, not always perfectly primped- it's so... nice. comforting.

[vicks-vaporwave]

The ratfish reveal was so funny because it felt like it was supposed to be like some big deal person but instead it's just some guy amd my partner and I were like huh?? Hm ok...
