Il sorriso della iena (Smile Before Death, 1972)
"A corpse is like a guest: after three days, they stink."
#Il sorriso della iena#smile before death#1972#italian cinema#giallo#blood tw#silvio amadio#francesco merli#francesco di dio#jenny tamburi#silvano tranquilli#rosalba neri#hiram keller#dana ghia#zora gheorgieva#luigi antonio guerra#fabio garriba#barbara bouchet#roberto pregadio#handsomely shot but slightly queasy giallo that's relatively light on gore and violence but leans hard into tge pyschosexual weirdness#made even more uncomfortable by the indeterminate age of Tamburi's lead (the best guess Neri has is 16 or 17)#bisexual love triangles and mind games ensue but there's nothing particularly original to this; it treads a very similar path to Lenzi's#A Quiet Place to Killā or indeed Amadio and Neri's other team up Amuck! but sure it looks pretty and everyone has very nice hair#the score tho is another matterā a bizarrely chirpy pop assembly full of oohs and lalas which doesn't at all fit the vibe of the film#not Pregadio's best work. a fine middling gialloā from the lesser known underbelly of the (admittedly bloated) genre#queer cinema

Everyone thinks that dick was the golden child when in reality it was Jason.
Clark: Bruce who was your favourite robin?
Dick: obviously itās me?
Tim: itās dick
Damian: I am superior robin, it will be me.
Bruce: itās Jason
Everyone: WHAT?!?!???
Bruce: why are you so surprised? He didnāt jump on too my chandeliers which I had to replace each week
*everyone looks at dick*
Bruce: he didnāt drop out of school
*everyone looks at tim*
Bruce: I didnāt have to stop him from killing everyone who annoyed him
*everyone looks at Damian*
Bruce: in fact, he enjoyed school and handed all his homework in on time, we would spend hours in the library reading his favourite classics. He even helped Alfred with most of the cooking, He was my little boy
Jason: stop spreading lies, I hate you go away
Bruce: my precious little boy
#jason todd#Bruce Wayne#dick Grayson#Damian Wayne#tim Drake#clark kent#Batman#alfred pennyworth#Bruce: he my little baby#jason: Iām 6ā2 and have the ability to kill you if I wanted#Bruce: my baby my little son#jason: GOD YOURE SO EMBARRASSING DAD#jason was probably the most behaved child before he went boom boom and I stand by that#he enjoyed school#most likey hated it when he missed it#and he loves classic literature???#bros a huge nerd#yea dick is all smiles but probably gave Bruceās near death heart attacks everytime he swung from chandeliers and rooftops#jason just wanted to live his life in the library reading his fav books and homework

iāll find you again in every universe. let us be a little more honest, let us have a little more time.
#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#despite it all though badlands rumble is like. the only universe where we get wolfwood thinking vash died first... and i think that means a#lot to their relationship and how it may bloom if there was more to badlands rumble considering vash literally saw wolfwood carrying a piece#of vash after his supposed death. u know! despite the short time they were together vash still meant so much to wolfwood that he couldn't#just move on or forget him in anyway. needed to keep a piece of him for himself and the rest of his days. but ofc vash lives and wolfwood#was like ill beat ur fucking ass into tomorrow. there's just so much honesty in vash being able to see that gesture bc he wouldnt know#otherwise just how much he might mean to him. ANYWAY. trimax with with the eternal pining featuring the two chapters where imo#where the both of them really fell for each other... i wrote my thoughts about this on another comic i did before#but vash solidifying his feelings during the hospital arc -- ww solidifies his when he realizes his allegiances are permanently with vash#98 my lovelies but also to me they are so one-sided bc ww pined like no tomorrow and vash only realizes after ep 23?24? his heart did tickle#whenever ww complimented his smile though#and tristamp vw my beloveds. it really just feels like they get theĀ chance to be closer and closer and more honest with each other#with every version that comes about. in trimax they knew how little time they had but struggled so desperately to get closer. in 98 ww felt#more willing to forsake for vash. in badlands rumble theyre Angry but as mentioned earlier ^ more blatant truth... due to circumstances#mainly but has the chance to lead to discussions and tristamp literally. first day of knowing each other ww saves vash - 2 days later vash#saves ww like. Man. AND NOW THEY MAY POTENTIALLY GET EVEN CLOSER!!!! with s2....#ruporas art

I like to think that Curly and Jimmy had parallel lives on earth.
That Curly was an only child and his parents died shortly after he became a captain. They got to see his biggest accomplishment but he had no one to really celebrate it with after. Jimmy has siblings and his parents and they didnāt care when he got the co-pilot job cause heās just the back up. Sure theyāre happy for him but no reason to celebrate.
They could both barely afford rent. Thatās how it is that late in capitalism and the world the live. The difference is Curly could down size, Jimmy would end up down on the curb. Jimmy had flings and Curly had partners. Both fleeting but Curly pulled away and they left Jimmy.
I like to think they lived parallel to each other in a way they both noticed. Curly felt a kinship and Jimmy felt resentful. Curly worked to make a good deal with what he had and Jimmy scorned his dealt cards and wanted the hand he thought Curly had made.
#this is like purely headcanons#I like to think where Jimmy sees Curly as being ungrateful and undeserving for what he has#he misses all the reasons why Curly may be unhappy or dissatisfied or stressed#Curly gets patted on the back and lorded by superiors not knowing they grip his shoulder and breath down his back#Curly gets a nice promotion and is stuck with a company that would send him on a death mission for mouthwash time and time again#Curly gets to steer the ship and he sits bored imagining all the fun the captains having while Curly is painfully aware one wrong move and#they all die. Jimmy says his friend is living the life and Curly canāt see the life heās lived#but he smiles anyway cause hey atleast hes got a good friend in itā¦#this is not to be taken as ship I just think they have a codependent relationship based on Curly having this fear of change and acute#loneliness that Jimmy doesnāt take seriously but does take advantage of cause heās lonely in a parallel way#like I think a big point in the game is that Curly is too good a friend and colleague to Jimmy n not enough of a friend and Captain tz#to Anya but also that Jimmy is an awful friend to him before hand and he takes it cause he has like this mindset#I hate them together but they wonāt let go of each other but at different times#mouthwashing#Mouthwashing game#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#jimmy mouthwashing

thinking about all those years ivan spent learning about boundaries and how to maintain healthy relationships but then throwing that away (and, subsequently, his relationship with till) during round 6 by initiating that kiss
comic translations by @/whatafruit on twitter x (except for the last two, those are mine)
#my ramblings#ivan is an incredibly dedicated person#his schedule is noted by the hour and his image is portrayed as a respectful pet human who is intelligent and charming#he never asked for anything. he never acted out. he learned how to smile by practicing with his reflection in the water#he painstakingly crafted this image of himself outside of anakt garden and managed to elevate himself as a business partner of sorts#but while he was in anakt garden he wasā¦ imperfect#he constantly bugged till as a way to gain his attention and he annoyed the hell out of sua in an attempt to relate to her#then he learned about boundaries and restraint. he began to hide his affection under side glances and gentle touches#he took off tillās collar and wiped away his tears. but only in secret. only when no one was watching#but he never breached tillās boundaries until round 6. the kiss was as good as waving a white flag.#it signified the death of their relationship as ivan finally released his sculpted image#he essentially chooses to kill their relationship all on his own before his death#sorry. my ivan brainrot is back in full force after he showed up in r7 for like 30 seconds#alien stage#alnst ivan#ivantill

'Late At Night, When The Nightingale Sings' doodles, because Pathetic Wet Cat Danny is the best Danny to practice drawing young faces with (and expressions).
#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dpxdc#dpxdc crossover#dpxdc fanart#dpxdc art#dpxdc batdad#dpxdc fanfic#blood blossom au#my art#in that third one the intent was that he's being held up by bruce like a cat. hence the hands. but i didnt wanna draw hands again so thats#why they disappeared. coincidentally the third one is also one of my favorites bc of how the everything came out.#danny can't force a convincing smile to save his life <33 especially now after 4 months of isolation#also!! duos practice! i wanted to draw danny with bruce because they are. everything to me. danny is wearing one of bruce's hoodies in that#second one. they are soft and comfy. he has frequent nightmares since his accident that only got worse after his family died#so he doesn't sleep that well unless he's around other people.#i need to buy an anatomy book and like. soon. i neeEEEd to figure out arms and legs when they're not in standard posing.#im coasting on reference photos and a dream here.#that second to last one is a(n attempted) drawing of Danny at the end of the prequel oneshot 'before the nightingale sings' that explains#how his family died. it was january. he was 13 and a month shy of turning 14. his hair is somewhat shaggy bc its a 4 month time difference#between family death and meeting battinson and hair doesn't typically grow that fast unless some kind of serum is being used and yall know#š«µ ballad of lucy gray baird mention!!! thats a blood blossom behind danny in that drawing. its eye is staring at danny. altho it too big#that one is another favorite but its docked points bc i dont like how his head shape turned out. his expression turned out great tho

A comparison of two scenes
Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 16 // Ep 38
#mysterious lotus casebook#feihua#dihua#its the way ep16 is so one-sided compared to the mutuality of ep38#unlike the censored BLs where drinking on the roof signals the men getting closer LLH is outright denying and#trying to distance himself from FDB (even before he decides to continue investigating SGD's death)#he looks at the moon wistfully and smiles sadly and says ''I've been there before''#is he thinking about the moon on that night? about the person he was at the top with?#and when he's with DFS he doesn't brush him off. he hears him say ''the wasn't as bright then'' and says no#''the moon was just as bright''#now when the previous misunderstandings are solved and they drink wedding wine together -> the moon is just as bright

Forever: Wow so, the vanilla eh, don't have the- the Eggs with a glock?
Phil: Yeah they don't have Eggs with glocks, yeah.
Forever: Yeah yeah yeah, that should be a- a nice addition.
Phil: You know, I was thinking that, and I might pitch it, I might pitch it to Mojang. Hey Chayanne you can get out with this. There you go.
Forever: What do you think about, like a baby zombie with a glock?
Phil: [Sighing heavily into his microphone] I would hate that. I would hate that so much.
Forever: [laughs]
Phil: YOU KNOW I WOULD. You know I would! Stop mocking me! [laughs]
Forever: I don't know what you're talking about! What's your problem with baby zombies? They're so fun and cute.
[Phil cracks up and Forever cackles]
Phil: Chat, that was literally the equivalent of, "Haha you're so funny and sexy, haha."
#Philza#Forever#QSMP#Phil#Idk the duo name#Forever absolutely does know why Phil hates baby zombies FYI he's just being a bastard here lmao#This stream actually made me love Forever#like he was funny before but he was really sweet to the Eggs#I hopped on his stream to watch his POV because I was suspicious and curious#but he genuinely wants to help the other Eggs and he was worried about Tallulah losing a life because she wasn't getting taken care of#(because she wasn't waking up)#He also smiled a lot when Chayanne threatened him with death if he hurt his family#in like a ''awh. what a good kid'' sort of way#so yes I like Forever now#but good luck buddy you are not gonna win the battle for Phil's heart LMFAO#I wanted to include both their POVs but it feels so weird seeing Forever's face#Man looks NOTHING like his character#Idk what I expected him to look like tbh but I did a double take when I first saw him#sugarduo#edited

I like to think Catnap was one of the few people who was there for Dogday when it was his turn to need support and comfortā¦
Anon you're so correct! Catnap was never much the type of person/toy to make their friends talk about their feelings, but he was always there for Dogday when he wasn't feeling well. Catnap wanting to free Dogday from both the hands of PlayCo. and his role as the obligatory leader of the group was another motivator for him to agree with the Hour of Joy. He genuinely thought this would help his friend, only to end up making Dogday even more emotionally closed off than before.
And yet, post Chapter 3, Catnap is still there to support Dogday. Not that our dear sunny puppy likes, agrees or accepts said support, although deep down he's a bit desperate for any sort of comfort.
#once again: there's so many parallels between dogday + angel and catnap + prototype to draw#angel and prototye are the source of both comfort and despair for both of them#dogday wanting to protect angel and avoid their death#catnap wanting to make his dad proud and happy#also dogday wants catnap to do better and he wants that comfort but also he doesn't trust him#he sees catnap doing anything slightly good for angel and a part of him immediately wants to hug catnap#or smile and go talk to him like nothing happened#post leaving the factory their relationship is like.#catnap: *does anything slightly better than before* / dogday: i want to tell him im so happy for this#dogday: *helps catnap deal with his guilt and attempts at being better* / catnap: i love you. im sorry. ill never be good enough#poppy playtime#poppy worldwide#save everyone au#daynap#catnap#dogday#catnap x dogday

Hiii First of, I looooove your Dragon Weiss AU and designs for her and he fam. So I was thinking, What would it look like if Whitley (wanting to be a protective baby brother that he is) wanted to intimidate the rest of RBY and showed them his full dragon form, but it doesn't quite work cuz he is fluffy and way smaller compared to his sisters so he looks huggable instead of menacing?
Again, love ya work smuch!
yeah! he is friend shaped! Both schneeblings are absolutely protective of weiss (she suffers a lot in my timeline) (favorite character curse) i think he would be a bit self-conscious of his dragon because he's fluffy. he lets winter do all the intimidating , he does all the verbal threats he wants!!
#derg AU#fluffy sweet guy that can absolutely kill you if he wanted to#death from fluff#i actually had this thought a few days ago when blake and yang meet him for the first time (ruby had seen him before but not in his derg)#ruby/yang eggs him on to shift into his derg out of curiosity#he would be like no >:(#and weiss would just be like 'just do it they're gonna pester you about it forever if you don't'#some more time and he gives in after having everyone to promise not to laugh#ruby squeals at how cute he is. yang laughs at his adorable fluffiness. blake would be surprised and very amused.#weiss smiles and chuckles at his predicament a bit before elbowing yang to stop laughing (almost knocks her over)#and he's all pouty and frowny and 'i would freeze you all if you weren't my sister's friends' >:((((((((((((
