btw I adore Lucy Gray with every fiber of my being and wholly believe that she is among one of the purest people to ever exist and deserves all the world’s happiness to share. I would give so much for her happiness and I love her eternally
#I’m so grateful for the ambiguous ending because it means I dream up the life I want for her as much as I want#And I’m so glad that I can’t even see her turning grey even after all that she’s been through#It’s just not an existence that could have ever met her#She’s like light itself#She believes in goodness and hope and humanity regardless of how many times she’s been shown otherwise#And she’d keep risking it hurting het for every new chance#There is goodness#and she’ll take that to her grave#Hunger games Lucy gray#Lucy gray#the hunger games movie#hunger games: ballad of songbirds and snakes#Ballad of songbirds and snakes#Song birds and snakes Lucy gray#Ballad of songbirds and snakes Lucy gray

just watched the new ghostbusters movie with my friend and truly, awkward teenage lesbians will both end and save the world.
#guys i have a type#blonde girls who are manipulated due to/by family and end up fighting for the side of good anyways#i saw melody and her Issues™️ and got attached to a dead girl#her whole thing with phoebe was gay as fuck tho you cant convince me#they did the thing that natasha did in what if to peggy where she looked back at Phoebe longingly and then stepped into the light#truly a tragedy that she was. yknow. dead and her whole arc was moving on into the afterlife#so she couldn’t have a sapphic little relationship with mckenna grace#some of the writing was kind of weak and it felt like a lot of fan service cause a lot of the characters didn’t do anything during#the climax of the movie or i just didn’t care for their story#but it’s really fun as a movie itself and i highly enjoyed myself so honestly that’s all that matters to me#ghostbusters frozen empire#phoebe spengler#melody ghostbusters#nat’s rambles

“we need more mean female characters” y’all couldn’t even handle athena cykes
#athena cykes#ace attorney#shut up abe#‘athena’s not even mean’ that’s the point#I saw someone in the tags on one of my posts say she could be ‘kind of a bitch’ which is baffling to me lmao#like idc if u add an ‘affectionate’ tone tag on the end ur just straight up wrong#the idea that LIGHT TEASING is enough to be labeled a bitch is ludicrous#ok update I’ve talked to the person I was talking about here and they’ve since clarified what they meant and apologised#they’re actually a huge athena fan and seem cool so nothing but respect to them!#BUT there’s still a broader issue w how the fandom treats athena so the post itself still stands

my top 5 caroline forbes ships/dynamics ♡
#1. caroline/enzo — “ironically, he’s recently become one of the more stable people in my life.”
#tvd#the vampire diaries#tvdedit#tvdversegifs#tvedit#caroline forbes#enzo st. john#caroline x enzo#carenzo#enzoline#top5cf#gifs.#it's about the Potential#idc if enzo was just a klaus replacement like. they got me. it worked. and i thought it was sexier than klaroline even so like it was WORKIN#caroline thought she knew exactly who enzo was but he kept proving her wrong! kept her on her toes!#i think enzo's existence in and of itself was a Warning to caroline#that she couldn't keep forcing everything into a strictly black and white perspective#and the more time she spends w him she learns that he's a genuinely compassionate guy??? who's good to the ppl he cares about???? like woah#and for enzo caroline is kinda like... the light at the end of the tunnel if u will#he spent ages locked up and tortured and now he's out and caroline is There#she won't baby him and excuse his behaviour just bc of the stuff he's went through#but she won't try to fix him either. she's just there to remind him of what being good Can look like#light at the end of the tunnel in the sense that she's unwittingly guiding him to his... not redemption and not salvation exactly#but something in the middle#it's what i've always loved about caroline#she'll find these men who maybe aren't very Good or Nice and she'll make them want to be better#she won't hold their hand through it but if she sees they're making a genuine effort she'll meet them halfway

I really love hope is a thing with feathers and I also really LOVE the hope as a sewer rat poem too but I wish it was not explicity written as "well actually" against Dickinson asgvsjnk. The imagery is SO GOOD but this whole vibe of "my metaphor is better than your metaphor" kinda sours it for me
#i dont like the patronizing usage of ''Emily'' like theyre explaining something to a child#admittedly dickinson has been dead for over a century so its probably huge deal to talk about her flippantly in terms of poetry#this is just me personally. how i feel about it#i dont like her being namedropped like that#it has this energy of ''haha lemme school this bitch''#when the poem itself was never supposed to see the light of day. she never consented to it being published. girl was 5 years in the grave#it feels like making fun of somebodys diary#i also dont like how it kinda makes fun of dickinson's imagery of hope as something ''beautiful delicate'' thing#i always interpreted as it is told. a little bird. i pictured a fat fluffy thing like the ones i see outside my window#ive known them to be stubborn and mischivious#when we leave out seeds on the lawn the little ones are always bullied away by the crows and magpies#but they keep trying. theyll attempt to sneak over and peck away before the crows notice them#they ARE optimistic and resilient little things. tougher than they look#so i always found the metaphor apt#sewer rat also fits just as well. but i think it depends on the angle from how youre looking at it#so i dont like this vibe of ''it should be more RAW it should be UGLIER'' cuz even tho i love that style of writing#it just feels like unnecessary one-upping here#especially considering dickinson was severely depressed and tons of her poems reflect it#god forbid she dabble around with the occasional light hearted poem about seeing hope as a silly little bird#asgsjsnk sorry im not trying to make a statement or anything. ill delete this later probably

God I wish my brain didn't shut down the moment I try to actually write down anything about my OCs/ideas/etc. I've got some freaks knocking around in here y'all would go wild for.
#My personal blorbo Asherah began as a knockoff Marika but boy she's a lot more now#orphan raised as a sacrificial priestess to the Sun/Heaven's Firstborn#finagled her way into being high priestess and kept the Sun at bay by making herself invaluable and sacrificing the other priestesses#which she never forgave herself for#she also sacrificed giant Kingdom Death style white lions which she would eventually kind of take up as her personal symbol/totem#uses a plucky barbarian hero who somehow managed to do the impossible and downed the leader of the invading faeries#which earned him an audience with the Sun#(who was going to eat him)#instead Asherah and the priestesses (along with the Stars who are cousins of the gods who got the short end of the stick) set a trap#and she and Ansu (the hero guy) trap/weaken the Sun in its own chariot/ship and slaughtered it (with the ghosts of the priestesses/lions)#then drove the chariot to heaven to threaten God itself into actually respecting humanity (instead of viewing them as prayer cattle)#bathing in the ichor of the Sun made them both Immortal immortal#as in can't die ever bc they're barred from the afterlife and infused with incorruptible divine light#They had a brief romance and a political marriage but neither actually want it#but they're undying and keep running back into each other#They both dealt with immortality poorly#Asherah became obsessed with legacy and control so that she would *never* be victimized like that again#nor would her children (so long as they do what she says)#and Ansu wants nothing more than to escape the destiny as hero king but due to being a basically normal guy/“guy” who killed two gods#fate has it out for Ansu#This was like ten thousand years before the modern day#basically all of the settings history has been these two assholes and their immediate family causing problems

WAIT WAIT WAIT CONSIDER THIS: TOM AND BARBARA AS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE, ALAN AND ALICE AS A DOOMED RETELLING
#alan wake#like this is fully what they already are - not in a 'someone make this content' way. they just Are#alan wake 2#alice wake#tom zane#barbara jagger#barbara dies in a tragedy and tom is overcome with grief and through art and song (film/poetry) moves heaven and earth to bring#her back from the darkness - only to discover the dark place did not grant him his love again merely a shade of her#and so in that same roiling grief he destroyed himself - cast himself back into hell#the dark place took Alice so Alan followed her into hell - but despite Thomas's guidance he could not save both himself and Alice#and so he did the impossible and trapped himself in exchange for her freedom#Alan was taken by the dark place and so Alice followed him into hell once more#and she - knowing he could not afford to look back if he was ever to escape - tricked him into thinking she was already lost#sacrificing herself to lead him back to the light#and now the cycle is broken. alan cannot follow her into hell again - at least not in the same way as before#but in breaking the cycle he has declared himself the master of two worlds - is this hubris? has he doomed himself again with those words?#or does he hold the reins now? will he be able to reach into the underworld and free her? have they trancended myth itsel#*itself?#anyway. I'm a genius (jk)

the vampire diaries 8.16 // louise gluck, crossroads
“and damon, like the voiceover tell us, he was worried he would never see stefan again. it was just elena assuring him that there would be peace. that we’ve dealt with this other side of darkness for several seasons, but there’s also light out there and there’s peace, and damon will find it. if you search for it, you will find it. and we wanted to get that last moment to see that [...] damon found it too, and it looked just like his brother.” — kevin williamson
#defan#the vampire diaries#web weave#not really satisfied with this one but eh#i don't envy gifmakers who've giffed the tunnel scene btw bc the lighting. my god. a travesty#anyway. beating this dead horse of an ep to death to eke out every last drop of defan it has to offer#the contrast between damon's expression when reuniting with elena vs stefan kills meeeee#he's doing THE most for stefan but for elena... go girl give us nothing dot jpeg fjskfjdj#also in typical spn brainrot fashion while listening to damon's anguished declaration of love toward stefan in the tunnel or whatever#i kept comparing it to dean's 7 minutes of incest ahh speech in the finale and. my god lol#like i'm aware pitting damon i-stole-my-little-brother's-gf-and-let-him-drown-while-locked-in-a-safe-for-three-months salvatore#against dean i-sold-my-soul-for-my-little-brother-and-i-will-do-it-again-without-hesitation winchester#is unfair to damon but damon's speech is SO bland and half-assed in and of itself#and it absolutely PALES in comparison to dean's speech it's actually pathetic lmfao#i couldn't stop thinking abt dean confessing that he stood outside sam's dorm for hours before barging in#bc he was scared sam would tell him to get lost#and it made me think that the writers could've made damon's speech that much more personal and impactful#by maybe throwing in a line like “i didn't come back to mystic falls all those years ago /just/ for katherine”#it would've recontextualized their reunion in the first ep and given the hello brother moment so much more depth#give us something authentic! something the audience isn't privy to!#something only damon would know and keep buried in the deepest darkest corner of his black heart!#like!!! i'm sorry but damon's dying (not really) declaration of love toward stefan reads so generic lol#maybe it's a me problem idk i just think the speech could've been. well. better#(obviously i blame plec she gave kevin a whole lotta nothing to work with)#like once you sit down and start dissecting damon's words they don't feel /that/ weighted. if that makes any sense#ok so maybe i just wanted him to say he didn't come back to mystic falls just for kat ! sue me#ANYWAY. someone please for the love of god write me a post finale canon compliant defan fic#a defan-in-the-afterlife fic if you will#or a damon-being-miserable-after-stefan's-death-and-being-really-shit-at-coping fic. that works too#wowee these tags are a mess

Now does that make Guizhong an illuminated beast? Probably not. I think it's more likely that she is actually a Seelie, bearing the imagery of a phoenix due to Celestial association with birds.
I'm listening to Ashikai's video on Guizhong again from 2023's Lantern Rite, which is the first time since I've personally also gone rabid on the intense depth of Guizhong's moon references, the details of the Glaze Lilies and how similar they are to the Nilotpala Lotuses, and most importantly what that means. And listening to this again (and for those who happen to be curious, here's a link to her video which will have the above quote make sense, and I've timestamped it in case people want to skip past the run-through of Guizhong's lore and get to the extra-interesting stuff), so much just... clicks and works. I genuinely do think that Guizhong, at the very least, was a Seelie. But the implications of this, and the implications that I think might go beyond this. /shakes fist immensely, vigorously.
It's so warm-- I can't be coherent. I'm not even the Pepe Sylvia meme, this is the Hoyoverse: Guizhong edition, of Brian David Gilbert trying to explain Kingdom Hearts.
#dust... ashes... phoenix. phoenix imagery across liyue harbor -- i used to wonder if it was tied to ningguang but... /but/...#but i also agree with ashikai that i don't think ningguang's tie to a phoenix is as strong as people claim it to be. or rather...#i think it's representative of her story which is more so tied to her journey of obtaining the status and position that she now holds.#rather than being directly representative /of/ a phoenix itself. outside of that-- ningguang isn't officially the /ruler/ of liyue.#i feel like people forget this or conflate this. the /qixing/ rule liyue. of which there are /seven/ members. they JOINTLY rule the nation.#the reason why ningguang's position of tianquan seems different is because it's the only position that is played in the spotlight.#it's /supposed/ to.#but i talk about this because people could note the phoenix imagery across liyue to be tied to ningguang. but--#liyue harbor has existed for a /long time/ before her. not exactly in the state that it exists in today; but it existed. she wouldn't have.#had input for obvious reasons. sure; she could have ordered them to be installed recently. would she have though? we don't know.#but i'd need to see more obvious personal ties to the phoenix for her to believe she sees herself as the /empress/ of liyue harbor.#considering she isn't even its sole ruler. but i digress.#any way i digress. this is a mess. i'm warm. /death.#[ guizhong. ] many things only seem to surface beneath the moon's poignant glow. wherever its light shines; the heart is wont to follow.#[ guizhong: meta. ] her manuscripts lie unfinished in her abode. the blank pages give cause for contemplation on what might have been.

Yara, what would your wedding dress look like?
"Don't show Ace just yet; I want it to be a surprise for him. I'm very much looking forward to walking down the aisle and officially becoming his wife."
Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!
#oc: bravada yara#ask yara#my ocs#my art#asked and answered#assuming the payback war doesn't happen in this timeline then they would get married sometime during the timeskip probably#the dress itself is fairly light and flowy#something she could still move in if unexpected guests like blackbeard or the marines were to show up#she's got a slit open on the left side there so she can push it back and show off her tattoo lol#it's like a yara requirement to never cover it up completely#izou was the one who did her hair and makeup#and it was his idea to weave sakura blossoms in her hair as a nod to her wano heritage

I called it, Ruan Mei is deranged and shady as hell
#I love her#I also said that she the light cone and the light cone description and her last eidolon and some other things#made her feel almost nonexistent or barely there‚ but not in a Herta and Xueyi kind of way#And it seems I was right too? That line‚ 'Life is so colourful‚ but... it has nothing to do with me' reads to me like that for now#Really digging the way Dr. Ratio contrasts or parallels her. How she talks about keeping a serene mask until the situation is ascertained#and talking about emotions and feelings being able to be analysed and dissected‚ the root of which found#In the promotional video immediately after she says the thing about masks‚ Ratio appears talking precisely about the same thing#It's so cool how both also take advantage in their fighting style of the weaknesses of the enemies#Ruan Mei with the weakness break effect and Ratio with the debuffs#Ruan Mei didn't seem as scornful of Ratio and the Guild as Herta seemed but Ruan Mei is also less open#The leaked line of Ratio about her (I can't recall exactly but it wasn't anything we haven't seen in the new Ruan Mei short‚#something about how the true intentions of her research are not what she stated and that she is actually the most ambitious member#of the Genius Society)‚ while not truly negative‚ doesn't seem positive either. But he perhaps isn't as callous#as he is when he talks about Herta and Screwllum. Or perhaps he is being even more so#I'm looking forwards to their interactions and the development of the relationship between the Guild and the Society as a whole#But also the dynamics and problems inside the Genius Society itself#They all seem to have their all personal and selfish agenda which could be source of clash‚ whereas the Guild seems more people driven#Even if they have at times pretty ugly methods. Not they the Genius Society doesn't#Ajfjsjd anyway I wonder if the Ratio and Ruan Mei parallels and contrasts will be truly explored or if it will be left in the air#just to sell either character more#But it seems sooo intriguing and so shady and I'm so into how two faces or representation of the same Aeon or under the same drive#could approach a similarish issue. Or how could one view the other. And how in general all that will develop#I've been looking forwards to more insight on the Guild/Genius Society confrontation since very early on haha#I am loving Ruan Mei *sighs* deranged#I talk too much

also, sorry. based on a few tags from other bipoc in my what is this feeling set i kinda wanna make a gifset with black!elphie when the 4k drops 🥺
#txt#literally everyone is mentioning how cool it is that the last gif looks like it's been color corrected and it literally hasnt!!!#but i had the same impression watching wizard and i when she gets to that space w all those lil lights#there were certain hues that turned her skin brown like color corrected it#and i thought that was so fun.#like obvi the metaphor of elphie's skin color is a thing on itself and super important but I also loved that one bit where she was singing#about having a normal acceptable skin color and. her skin was brown for a slight second. like.... yeah! exactly!#god. elphaba thropp i love you so much#there's just so much about her in cynthia's portrayal that i love like so much DEPTH#not to say the other elphies don't i just. love black elphaba. so much.#an outsider amongst outsiders.

Adding some extra Flavour™ working out the logistics of the abundance of scars my Rook has. Initially, I thought maybe the Antaam ambush the de Riva background has, but in-game dialogue paints it going pretty well — 20:1 ratio Antaam to her, an opportune ambush, Varric being among the prisoners ready to be transported. A single Antaam dwarfs my Rook by being twice her size in height and width lol so I don't doubt they would get hits in. Chose the body scars with the huge set on the chest and abundance of back scars. And arms. And legs. I'm thinking some Antaam, or the Antaam commander got a good chest hit in enough for her to struggle or pass out once the adrenaline left and she got everyone out.
But it's more deliciously fucked up if all the very intentional back scars (because the game makes them noticeably darker than the front ones) are from the Crows. Punishment for stepping out of line. Complain as he might, maybe Viago did his best to advocate for leniency instead of death, so a brutal lashing and banishment from the whole of Antiva was the lightest he could get for her without coming off as soft/weak for the little Crow under his wing. Varric steps in to offer a job to take her out of the city, which works perfectly. Viago sends that iconic letter.
Writing home to recruit Lucanis is something Rook says is a bit rocky. Rook says she couldn't possibly disappoint the Crows more when talking with Lucanis. She brings up Viago repeatedly in conversation, but her first exchange with him when coming home is as bitter as she can fit in before it's Business as Usual.
Such a horrible, brutal system, but he is family.
#le whiny text post#Rook de Riva I am your biggest fan#Amri de Riva#the more I work on her the more Zevran flavoured she becomes and it's fun and sad lol#do I want to hurt my feelings more and have the other Talons make Viago do the lashing in front of them#(of which he advocated for bc a more public scene would embarrass the House).#does he say he does it so no one else hits her harder? does she buy it??? how long had it been since being dressed down like that#how much spiritual rebellion is even left inside her or does she Buy Into It like the rest of them and shrug it off#when Harding and the softer companions see the scars do they ask? how much does she internalize and normalize the pain??#how much does she brush it off with a light joke that 'it was nothing. a lot less brutal than what I went through as a child'#Rook de Riva my kindred spirit I love you more than life itself

I am so confused by DATV's story
#i keep trying to make sense of it#they turned the qunari into dragonborns#morrigan houses mythal's memories but isn't mythal because she refused to be taken over#which yeah is consistent with her refusing to let flemmeth take over her body in origins#but how????#none of the choices in the game seem to matter for the ending#it just changes how certain fights happen#i like the callback to me2#like having to give your companions the correct role or they die#but also having people die regardless of choices and maxing out their faction is stupid as fuck#like wtf is the point of doing their companion quests if certain roles will always end in the death of a character#idk man#idkkkkk#i keep trying to remind myself that the fact that this game even saw the light of day is a feat in itself#given the layoffs and scraping the plot halfway through development#god though idk lmao#datv spoilers#datv discourse
