i feel like the cosmetic botox ads i keep getting should be like. illegal or something
#can you imagine how blatantly weird it would be to air ads for breast implants or nose jobs??#why do i have to see the same handful of botox commercials so many times per day#in one of them the woman in question who got botox is like ‘i’m still the same [name] just with less lines’#THE LINES AND WRINKLES OF YOUR FACE TELL A BEAUTIFUL STORY OF YOUR LIFE#THEY SHOW THAT YOU’VE LIVED LIFE

The pitch for Buffy The Vampire Slayer was probably just “What if there was a girl who could kill vampires. And she can Never Catch A Fucking Break”
#Goes to a new school? It’s on the mouth of hell!#Trip to the zoo? Your friend just got possessed by a hyena spirit!#Have a parent-teacher meeting? Blond Twink (second most dangerous vampire in history) shows up and your mom hits him with an axe!#Got a new boyfriend who seems totally normal? He’s actually part of an underground military operation where he is fed drugs on the regular!#Have a little sister? Wrong! She’s actually The Key and is not your sister at all. And a Hell God wants her ritually sacrificed#New teacher? Nope she’s actually a fucking bug and she tries to breed with and eat your friend#Die and finally be at peace? Lol nope you’ve been revived. And that Blond Twink can do damage to you now#Your best friend just got back together with her gf? Gf immediately got shot and now your best friend is trying to end the world#Living a relatively calm life? The Blond Twink is back and has lost his fucking marbles. Also the very concept of Evil wants to square up#It’s so fucking funny in retrospect but I feel so bad for her#btvs#buffy the vampire slayer#buffy summers#buffy anne summers

Sarah Sisko’s whole deal is so horrifying and messed up and DS9 just kinda. Glosses over it
#Imagine you are just a random Australian woman on Earth. Living your life minding your business#and then you get possessed by an alien force who have a Destiny they need to enact#And so controls you to go to New Orleans and hook up with a guy you’ve never met and you marry him and live with him for three years#And give birth to a son#And evidently that was what the alien wanted because once you have had a son the alien possession vacates your body#And you are in control of yourself again for the first time in three years#Married to a guy you didn’t seek out with a son you didn’t have a choice in#And the man is sweet and kind and in live with you! And thought you lived him! But you can’t bear it#So you leave him and leave the kid and hightail it back to Australia because what else can you do??#And eventually commit suicide because you can’t handle this. Your life was upended in an impossible horrifying way for three years#You disappeared from your life with no warning for three years and then showed up again to people who think you just left#It’s the Star Trek universe—‘I was mind controlled by an alien force’ is well known#But that’s not supposed to happen to you. You aren’t a starfleet adventurer you live on Earth. Why You?#I feel like. Sarah your life was so horrifying/tragic and it wasn’t even about you#And even DS9 just brings this up practically in passing and then never dwells on it ever#perpetual perpetual ladies night#Star Trek#Deep Space 9#ST:DS9

I sort of like the thought that Zuko and Aang take the Sun Warriors' warning not to tell anyone about the dragons a little more seriously… and they keep it between them. Of course, they trust Sokka, Toph and Katara. Of course they know they wouldn’t tell anyone, but now three people (including Iroh) know the truth about Ran and Shaw. And that’s three too many when you’re trying to keep a secret.
(and there are other people at the temple as well - like Haru, Teo and The Duke - who, while trustworthy, aren’t as close to them as the others, and when it comes to secrets with as much consequence as this one, you can’t afford to take any chances.)
Furthermore, the culture within the Fire Nation since Sozin’s rein has been warped. The culture is not to respect the dragons as the original firebenders, it’s to conquer and kill them. It’s the ultimate proof of your strength as a firebender. All it takes is one mistake before rumour spreads, and people go looking for the ultimate hunt. It’s not something Zuko or Aang can risk.
Whether Katara, Toph and Sokka (and Suki) ever find out the truth is up to you. But post-war, after Zuko returns from a strange, poorly explained trip with a dragon, and eventually develops the ability to use rainbow fire, either the others have some questions about Aang’s knowing look, or they are finally let in on a monumental secret.
#it’s a kids show so i think for that reason it was played for laughs about keeping the dragons a secret is not necessarily a bad choice...#the show does that sometimes where it says something off hand and then leaves me lying face down contemplating ✨the consequences✨ of that#but there are some… implications there about being too loose lipped with the truth in leading up to the end of and immediately post#war fire nation. just because zuko understands the spiritual significance of a dragon it does not mean the rest of his people will. actuall#its more likely that they'd reject zuko's opinion considering that he's basically coming into power and then telling everyone that#they've been lied to their whole lives. the fire nation is drowning in propaganda. for a lot of people this opinion of dragons and#firebending's true nature being violence and destruction is all they know. fire is LIFE but to most people that's an alien concept#and in terms of keeping secrets - it’s not even a matter of trust it’s a matter of too many people knowing#you might not even realised you’ve revealed some incredible information to someone who has the means to spread it or pursue it#so… i think zuko would be hyper aware of this. since he grew up hearing stories about the 'glory' of dragon hunting#and since iroh has also made a concerted effort to keep this information hidden i think it makes sense he’d be very hesitant to let it#get out to the public#aang would agree i think esp if zuko explained the importance of hiding them even from loved ones#ALSO random but it also makes me wonder what the fire nation said about roku in wake of the war#he had a dragon but he didn’t kill it. he didn’t ’conquer’ it#sozin would have had to work his ASS off to reframe history as him being the more… loyal(?) patriotic (?) of the two#did he frame it as roku didn’t have the courage to kill a dragon??? that he lacked the strength of a true firebender?#the avatar works hard but sozin's propaganda machine works harder 🧍♀️#zuko#aang#avatar the last airbender#zuko & aang#jack talks#sun warriors#book 3#what is it with me having a whole separate post in the tags 👁️👄👁️

You know it amazes me how little people understand about Star Trek!
The other day I was watching Star Wars with my friends, and we were going through our favorite tv shows and of course at the top of my list is Star Trek, (note that I didn’t rank all the different tv shows of Star Trek enterprise, Picard, tos, tas, tng,voy, ect) they were making fun of it and me (affectionate) so I asked them if they had ever seen Star Trek and received no’s.
Star Wars (I do love the show for the space crimes and the ideal of light and dark and how they explore it) is a world where mitigating the fact that if you read the books or just watch the tv shows it’s a space old west messy universe.
Star Trek (especially tos) it’s basically gays in some sort of military in space. Which I get it’s camp and sometimes weird to watch with other people or Trekkies that don’t share the same opinion than you (McSpirk forever baby)
The Original Series sparked fandom culture! When the series was going downhill who kept it afloat ??????
HOUSEWIVES
That’s right!! They wrote in letters to keep the show going!
This information is lost in modern history to the average person!
Star Trek isn’t just a fun show it’s literally embedded into fandom.
And it’s so so important to me specifically because it’s an envisionment for a brighter future.
It’s hope that one day we can reach the peace that dreamers of our world have made steps to achieve.
honestly I don’t know how to describe that in comparison to other shows Star Trek can’t be compared because it’s a vision for our future and is not just a Space show.
#star trek#star trek tos#just I get I’m rambling ok#I need someone else to understand#the other trekky in my life is an older family member who saw amock time come out live and didn’t think anything was weird#like ok they rolled around in the sand and Spock was cured of the fuck or die heat#ok grandpa that’s such a normal thing to do with your bestie#anyways just overall Star Trek feelings it’s an inspirational idea (at lest the old shows)#Gene we thank you for everything you’ve envisioned

Rick and Morty is cool because it’s a brutal, satirical comedy but at its core it’s a story about a depressed old man with godlike power slowly recovering from nihilism while accidentally turning his grandson into an absolute badass
#this show isn’t about nihilism it’s about everything that really matters and why#family matters even if you come to them for all the wrong reasons#like if you can see millions of living beings die all the time but still be willing to give up your life so one person can live#then you’ve done it#you’ve found meaning in a world that doesn’t seem to have any#nihilism is easy love is hard#nihilism#rick and morty#family#morty smith#rick sanchez

down bad so i need to know everyone’s favorite patrick vocal deliveries, like yeah yeah, favorite lyrics we all have em, but like what are the lines that when sung by patrick stump just straight up obliterated your entire fucking brain chemistry
#personally ascended when i was 12 and he added a whole ass syllable to mattress#like legitimately why won’t you show me a little bit of spine you’ve been saving for his matt-er-ess is essential to me as a person#also like obviously the last minute of headfirst slide#this is also the reason i am so fucking obsessed with we don’t take hits we write them#because ‘and you lock the house to keep your secret from coming out and i won’t no’ legitimately ruined my entire life#all of XO legitimately legitimately rewired my brain in ways i will never be able to explain#we don’t fight fair#and i’m addicted to the way i feel when i think of you wooooah#do you remember the way i held your hand#all of america’s suitehearts is like a vocal wonderland for me#life ruining voice tbh#ruins peoples lives#like mine#patrick stump#fob#fall out boy#text

‘the real plot is more important than relationship drama 🙄’ LALALALALALALA
#STOP BEING SO PRETENTIOUS#yes relationships are actually a meaningful part of the characters lives#so yes it’s important to include to a certain extent#if you’ve watched the first four seasons of stranger things and ALL you care about is the upside down and vecna then sorry bro i don’t think#you like the show that much#give the characters some attention too#and i don’t just mean romantic relationships#i mean personal development and platonic and familial relationships#cus that’s life man#stranger things#byler#< target audience

I love bo burnham’s inside because it’s one of the few films that has multiple endings but plays all of them one after the other
#bo burnham inside#bo burnham#I genuinely mean this by the way it is a work of art but more than that it was clearly his life and something keeping him semi-sane#he was terrified of it ending and it shows#I think that the art is better for it#because obviously the whole thing was a commentary on living through covid#and you keep thinking it’s about to end and it never does#and at a certain point you’ve ‘thought it was about to end’ so many times now you’re starting to think it never will#haha. anyways#analysis#covid#shut up riley

Is this anything
#mmmmmmm yeah this is a main blog post#nia you’ve made this joke like 50 times already can you stop it maybe?#okay we get it the pretty noblewoman starts losing it after finding out her husband cheats on her. move on#the answer is no :) I will keep hammering in this comparison until I am physically forced to stop#and by physically I mean the fact I’m probably playing with fire by posting Summiya with half her tit out for like the third time#oh well. it’s been okay so far so let’s hope it will continue being so#aaaaanyway#I was absolutely not thinking of Hatice when I came up with Summiya and drew this piece but the vibes are there and comparison checks out#and I am absolutely not complaining because this means I get to spread some turkish soap opera fungus to my beloved partner in crime#hi Kat :)#Hatice may not be my favourite character. far from it in fact. it’s hard being a Nigar stan in this world 😔#as well as a firm believer that the show lied and that Nigar lived the rest of her life out in Sulina with her Esmanur#but tbh denying deaths happening at the end of season 3 in a mediocre early 2010s show is kinda my modus operandi at this point#who’s surprised? no one. absolutely nobody#….I got off topic again#ANYWAY don’t come @ me for Hatice’s death date I got like 3 different results when I looked it up#and went with the one that appeared in more than one source#also I’m not a historian I’m simply a lover of harem dramas and beautiful princesses with disorders#and comparing them to my vast network of avatarverse OCs#I realise this post is completely incomprehensible to everyone but Kat and me. but when has that ever stopped me before?#target audience of one and I like it that way#anyway I should probs quit my deranged ramblings and go eat something#ask me who Hatice sultan is I dare you#the legend of korra#original character#Summiya#Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness#magnificent century#muhteşem yüzyıl#hatice sultan

Fanny, my sweet, beautiful girl
17.11.2012 – 14.04.2019
#my art#artists on tumblr#I cannot accept that it has been 5 years already#I know covid messed with everyone’s sense of time but it simultaneously feels so much longer and so much shorter than that#exactly five years ago I was holding onto my mom for dear life and sobbing as we watched lilo and stitch together#not the best movie to watch when you’ve just lost your first ever pet you know#and then I cried myself to sleep at the next morning we never mentioned her again#I know it’s because it was way too painful for everyone involved. but I do wish I was allowed to process that grief properly#instead of bottling it up and pretending everything was okay until I was reminded of her#feeling like my heart was being shattered over and over again every single time#well anyway. enough of that. I’ve allowed myself a nice long cry today and got most of it out of my system#and once I was feeling okay I decided to draw her#and I can count the number of times I’ve drawn animals on one hand so.. I’m not too sure about the result#but it felt like to commemorate her in some way.#so yeah. here she is. my dear girl. the best dog in existence. she was always so affectionate and kind#which I didn’t always appreciate bc of how young I was. when you’re a kid it feels like pets will live forever#never barked. never bit anyone. her only crime was chewing on my mlp and lps toys that I left out on the floor#but I’m grateful she did that. it taught me not to leave my toys lying around and to clean up after myself#she really was taken from me way too soon. ideally she could still be alive right now. but I’ve been down the road of guilt and regret#there was nothing I could do. I was a child. I can only hope that she knew she was loved right until the very end#even if I didn’t know how to show it properly. and great. now I’m tearing up again#I suppose it’s unavoidable. April 12th will always be a melancholy day. and maybe that’s not such a bad thing#it’s good to have a day when I can freely remember her and cry if I need to. it’s healthy. it’s better than crying every day#she never liked it much when I cried. always tried to comfort me. that’s the kind of dog she was. I miss her so much#when I move apartments and get a dog of my own I’m getting a spaniel. just like she was#well. maybe a different colour so I don’t end up sobbing every time I look at it. but spaniels really are the perfect breed#I mean. cavaliers especially were bred for love and warmth. that’s just what I need. it will be nice to have someone waiting for me at home#and while I don’t necessarily believe in the afterlife… I do hope that Fanny’s watching over me#spiritually comforting me when I feel all alone in the world. it’s a nice thought for sure#and hopefully she won’t mind me getting another spaniel too much. it will be done in her honour after all. to make up for my past mistakes

something magic about neil going gray early…. proof that he survived proof that he’s living
#i LOVE aging i love wrinkles i love gray hair i love sagging skin#you’ve lived a life of laughter that shows on your face so everyone else can know too#you’ve survived so long in earth that the gravity is weighing you down and yet you’re still here#your asshole daughter is stressing you out so much that it’s causing you to gray (CANON KEVIN DAYISM)

kinda tough to watch buffy lately tbh. it’s hitting too close to home watching her be detached from everything and everyone, barely feeling anything except regret and exhaustion, wishing she wasn’t alive but knowing she can’t say or do anything about it because it would hurt her loved ones, experiencing life like she’s half-watching a movie she doesn’t care about. lol!
