Oh copy/paste and desktop Tumblr, how I've missed you so XDD
I'm still unable to sit at my desk for as long as I'd like to.. but I can sit long enough to draw some comics here and there at least! One of which being a (somewhat) angsty comic with Grim and V! Did you really think they escaped my angst curse?? It was only a matter of time before I cursed them as well! XDD
But for real, I've wanted to draw something angsty with Grim and V for a while now. And I'm glad I was finally able to! Even if its kind'aaa more of a goofy comic with angsty undertones rather than full on angst. XDD
The more I draw these two, the more lore I start to build in the background... I wonder if I should explore Grim's more serious angst sometime.. 😈😈
#do not tag as ship#pokemon scarlet and violet#gengar#sylveon#gardevoir#Gengar is really fun to draw :}}#trying to draw him with different expressions but keeping his eyes and mouth looking “gengar-ish” is a fun challange#sylveon is just WAY off model but that's what made this comic fun and goofy XDD#And what a sweetheart Gloria is#Grim and V sleeping near each other is likely normal and didn't raise any suspicion amongst the group#but Gloria could probably sense the stress and emotion in V with her psychic powers and what not#so she made him a sammich and some tea as a pick-me-up🥺💖

but when they're out on that river bank alone, what javier should be loyal to doesn't feel as confusing anymore
#also known as 'he wants so badly to run away with his boyfriend and marry him and live happily ever#after'#but his commitment to dutch and the gang breaks his heart#i want them to be happy SO BAAAD SO BAD IM GOINGN TO THROW YP#also the top right one comes w a headcanon#which is that kieran can only bathe if javier is there (and only javier) because otherwise he's too terrified of being k*lled for either bei#ng trans or just in general because he's alone#so that's why he's usually stinky#he really hates being stinky but he doesn't consider it worth dying over#anyway i love them so bad and their little fishing dates#kieran infodumps the whole time and javier feels so lucky to be alive because he knows kieran doesn't talk around anyone else near as much#if at all#javier knows 99% of the fish knowledge but he never interrupts and is always happy to listen to kieran yap about every other topic too#i need to put javi in an 'i ❤️ my autistic boyfriend' shirt#ok i'll shut up now#also i know this composition looks like total shart i'm literally the worst at doing them </3 be nice to me#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#kieran duffy#javier escuella#javieran#am i allowed to say that i own this ship#considering i literally made it LOL i feel so proud even tho it also makes me miserable that i bascially have no one to talk to abt them#image#art#hero draws sometimes

Y'all have been LIVING LIKE THIS??? This is still SEASON 2. Buddie fans are the strongest ❤️❤️
#honestly I wouldn't have made it to season 3 with this without having come in after the BuckTommy kiss#like. this is the exact looking directly in the camera at shipping fans and winking that I've seen in a million never-canon ships#i couldn't've held out hope. this would've ended me.#like in 2010 this would've been the “these crazy women see two white men standing near each other and immediately think they should kiss”#mockery that would be used to discredit all the queercoding that fans are legitimately picking up on#but yall true hearts kept strong and now canon bi Buck. blessings and love to you beautiful and brilliant and strong fans#buddie#buddie 911#911#911 abc#911 abc liveblog#s2e18

Ito Avagnar Fujimori was a well-loved sight among all the Scions and for them, their heart was given to each and every one in return. But they would call only one of them their brother, facing trial and tribulation back to back with him... While also dealing with all his annoying 'quirks' as well.

i've been wondering about that big board ontop of their mirror for who knows how long now and they finally blessed me with a readable frame, i have the first piece of the puzzle. the big text reads "HOLOGRAMS CAN HAVE HEART ATTACKS TOO!" of course he would put up something like that. i'm assuming the pictures on top are some examples of preventative measures one can take, or maybe they're what to do in the event of an emergency. i'd know if only i'd get a better close-up.
then there are those pink slips Arnie puts up, there are multiple, but the one in his bunk reads, and i'm filling in everything i can't see here "YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A DRY SENSE OF HUMOUR TO LIVE HERE BUT IT CERTANLY HELPS!" Rimmer and his weid positive reminders, they must keep him going on some level.
also the letters, are they from his mother? from someone else? doesn't matter much, because the difference between Lister's bunk having a bunch of colourful photographs of a bunch of people with him and Rimmer's bunk only having two worn letters from an unknown sender really shows well the differences in their characters and their approach to other people (i love that kindof set dressing)
btw they did not change any of Rimmer's stuff for Paraller Universe. all of her certificates and 'achievements' (those newspaper clipping on the wall) still read Arnold for some reason. oh what could be the canon explanation for this? this changes the Arlene lore for sure
bet they didn't count on someone obsessing over the set 30 years after this aired did they!?!? could they own up and tell me why Arlene has the swimming certificate of some rando named Arnold
#i don't think we talk enough about rimmer's odd decorations that seem to all be positive things he puts up#but like. another one of those think about it at all from the perspective that no-one jas ever actually been that nice to him and it gets#quite sad. in multiple senses of the word#pitiful#red dwarf#i understand why they didn't but WHY couldn't they have just a 20 minute special or something where we could see the sets in detail#because those sets look like so much fun to me i want to know all their secrets#there are so many mysteries within the walls of that ship i get so excited when the camera is near enough a wall that i can read something

if isagi, kaiser, and ness were in a roommates situation isagi is bringing his own rice cooker (he won't let the other two buy a rice cooker. his rice cooker is good. they don't need a new ricecooker). ness likes the rice cooker. it plays little melodies and adjusts its cooking time so the rice is pretty much always perfect (it's like magic. he knows it has internal sensors but it feels like magic). kaiser won't let isagi put english or german labels or furigana on the buttons (ness has a labelmaker and isagi knows the kanji is difficult so he offered to) because that feels like losing. using a dictionary or google translate while trying to cook rice for dinner also feels like losing. kaiser takes a picture of all the buttons and studies the meanings in private, then figures out how to cook a pot of rice in the middle of the night.
they should probably not live together.
#not ship solely because if they were in a romantic relationship they'd deal with this better. it's funnier this way#ness knows how to use the rice cooker because he asked isagi. he would've explained it to kaiser but kaiser radiates malice when he's near#the rice cooker and ness just watches him from afar and cheers him on.#isagi wakes up in the middle of the night to the smell of rice cooking and goes into the kitchen to see kaiser standing completely#motionless in the dark. he probably wouldn't have been able to tell he was there if his eyes hadn't adjusted to the dark.#anyway. as an asian person i am so picky about rice cookers because i just be eating plain rice i can't have a rice cooker that's ass#blue lock#isakainess#post inspired by me missing my mom's rice cooker. god it's so wonderful my dorm rice cooker is shitty.

As a reminder, I want to let everyone know I do NOT want anyone who ships Spruce and Chip following or interacting with me. I thought it was kind of obvious but I suppose writing it out directly is needed.
#clemramble#IT CANNOT BE THAT HARD TO *NOT* SHIP CHARACTERS WHO HAVE A BROTHERLY RELATIONSHIP#There's been a few cases where I find out someone who interacted or even followed me does.#Obviously if someone doesnt know about their dynamic then thats different. but I digress#I'm not rocking with any of that. I don't get into fights with people over it anymore#but if youre into any of that just know I dont want you near me. and if i find out im blocking you#i assume everyone who follows me also isnt okay with it#but because i keep seeing people pop up in the tags every so often. this is a very direct post on my stance on it

*clasps your hand* we're officially on the same boat and I'm in tears reading your reply
I sometimes forget that Shanks doesn't know WHY buggy left him, so there's no way for Beckman to know either, all he knows is what Shanks thinks of it. Would he assume Buggy hated Shanks and be a bit tense when Buggy boarded the Red Force? Like what he could say to Shanks to hurt him, didn't think it was a good idea to give Buggy and his followers safe passage but Shanks was persistent (what a softie) so Beckman relented, only to be smacked in the face by their clear (begrudging in Buggy's case) fondness for other, he knew Shanks held no ill will against his childhood friend but???? What the hell Buggy obviously loves his Captain so then?? Why did they part at all, Beckman now knows there's more to it.
I can't think too much about Buggy's side of all this I'm gonna cry again WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WAS THINKING OF BECKMAN AS SHANKS "RAYLEIGH" 😭 I went back to check IKIKYB and Buggy thought of/brought up Rayleigh 18 times and I'm so emotional about it I can't do this
Buggy thinking he did good not joining Shanks because now he has a dependable and strong First Mate worthy of Shanks and the complete opposite of himself OOOUUGH I'M GONNA BE SICK BUGGYYYY I hate it here
While looking up the Rayleigh mention in ikikyb, I reread the part where Buggy casually says he knew being first mate to Shanks would be tough and he thought he'd be prepared, and Shanks looking on confused HE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW BUGGY WAS GOING TO BE HIS FIRST MATE, CANON WISE, TOO, THESE TWO NEVER TALKED, NEVER GAVE ANY INDICATION OF WHY THEY DECIDED WHAT THEY DID. But anyway I ended up agreeing with Shanks in your Fic, it's how I feel about it, too. I'm happy Buggy didn't become his First Mate because now Buggy can follow his own dream. It's just all so sad the way it went about..
(anon’s previous ask on this topic)
yeah, all beckman can know about shanks&buggy is what shanks tells him, and we know shanks is missing a few key details there. so beckman’s knowledge is incomplete—but i’m certain he knows it’s incomplete. that’s part of why i think he’s quick to reserve judgment, he knows there’s context he doesn’t have.
.
the first person to get buggy thinking about rayleigh in ikikyb is actually lucky roux, both indirectly (by making a hangover cure for shanks that was rayleigh’s go-to back in the day) and directly (by telling buggy about the day shanks and his crew ran into rayleigh in sabaody). every time rayleigh’s mentioned after that scene, it’s either buggy gossiping with shanks about rayleigh or being reminded of rayleigh by people around him (mostly beckman, but once or twice shanks does something the same way rayleigh taught them as kids, and galdino reminds buggy of rayleigh once too 😉).
.
yeah, like, who knows if shanks is happy with where his life is right now, but i think buggy can’t imagine a better life for shanks than the one he’s currently got, and he wouldn’t have that life if buggy had stayed. so leaving shanks must’ve been the right call. and (in ikikyb, at least), shanks agrees for the opposite reason—because he believes, after what buggy tells him, that staying with shanks would’ve been bad for buggy.
#tos answers#one piece#buggy#benn beckman#the near miss fics#shuggy#← all of this is peripherally about the ship so i might as well tag it#pls just imagine me going >:)c at all of the emotions ikikyb has generated in you btw#this kind of ask is all i could ever want in a reaction to that fic! tysm >:)c#(to be clear: neither of them are necessarily CORRECT that staying together would’ve made for a worse outcome)#(they don’t know about my no divorce au or how things end up there)#(but also the no divorce au is one good route out of thousands that *did* break bad)

Thoughts when I saw this part because oh my god:
•The fact Caitlyn chose to gunhilt Vi in the crotch before she even got to touch her pussy 💀
•The fact that Jinx's last words to Vi before the fight were, "I know you're sweet on her. I hope you get to...you know. Before..." And then Caitlyn goes and does this lmfao 💀
•Jinx still causing Caitvi division ✨
Like that's crazy bro I don't know how caitvi are gonna come back from this fr
And next arc Jinx is gonna be the one watching over Vi when she's at her lowest after Caitlyn gunhilted her to the crotch and then dropped her like~
Vijinxes stay winning ✨��🩷
#also as someone who's been kicked in the crotch a couple times i know this shit hurt#like it hurts just the same for women#all the pain shooting up through you and sickness and feeling like you wanna vom#and the fact that she brings up Another hand to nurse herself when she's on the ground poor baby#yes i am just brushing over the fact that vijinx just had a full on fight to the near death prior to this;;#like this is Worse okay trust me lolol#and Vi's little breathy miserable moans and sighs after like ugh 💔#(also I do still like caitvi this isn't that serious I always just found shipping wars quite cute and funny so lol)#just in case any caitvis are unfortunate enough to click on my page#hopefully not#vijinx

I don't know anything about England but I'm interested in how the characters' locations inform their characters like Seward's. I'd like to know more about the implications of being from Purfleet/Essex for example (Though iirc Stoker immigrated from Dublin well into adulthood so I don't know how well he knew all the cities.)
there's so much to be said! i really don't think that stoker meant much intentionally, but the placement of the asylum in purfleet specifically is interesting.
long post so i'm cutting this!
the asylum at purfleet, essex, is an example of the common 19th-early 20th century phenomenon of establishing psychiactric hospitals in the rural counties surrounding london - simultaneously serving as a 'tranquil' location away from the city, while also serving the dubious, cruel purpose of squirelling away would-be patients into residences away from the city - out of society, out of sight, out of mind.
in terms of jack seward himself, purfleet is a kind of an in-between, nothing place - things and people pass through, not much stays. (there's a reason why whitby is remembered as 'the dracula place', and not purfleet.) it's quite literally on the edge of london - of society - and in that scene where jack's looking despondently towards the sun setting west over london, his own isolation becomes palpable - from society and from the world as a whole. the endless, transient, liminal feel of the essex saltmarshes just....gives the vibe. this was a scene that felt particularly gothic to me - jack is the custodian of his very own haunted house, here, in all its bleak, isolated glory.
It was a shock to me to turn from the wonderful smoky beauty of a sunset over London, with its lurid lights and inky shadows and all the marvellous tints that come on foul clouds even as on foul water, and to realise all the grim sternness of my own cold stone building, with its wealth of breathing misery, and my own desolate heart to endure it all.
this is an fascinating parallel with the count's situation in transylvania, which is NOT the topic du jour here so i'll stop before i ramble but compelling nonetheless! like the count, though, he's a liminal figure - in london, but not quite in london. in the group, but not in the group. alive, but not really living. wide awake in the witching hour, unsure how to re-integrate with society.
it's also worth noting that the opening of dickens' great expectations has pip in his childhood home on the kent marshes - which would pretty much be the opposite bank of the thames from purfleet. in great expectations, pip's village serves a similar role - the quiet, bleak, nowhere-place directly placed against the bustling cosmopolis of london.
in terms of other characters and locations, i've written a bit before about jonathan (and mina possibly) hailing from exeter, devon, in the south west of england - which is much further from london.
jonathan and mina, in terms of the group dynamics, are outsiders: they're very much lower middle class, hyper-aware of the importance of money and societal etiquette as a means for survival and social betterment. this is a personal hc of mine, but i like to think of jonathan as having the long supressed remnants of a devon accent. south west accents are often the subject of a lot of ridicule and mockery in the UK (akin to a southern US accent) and hiding that regionalism, in both the 1890s and today's britain, would be a means of survival and progress for him - i think the fact that he's always given a standard home counties RP accent in adaptations cuts out a major aspect of his character. he's a devon boy!
in contrast to all this, lucy's hampstead residence shows her affluence. it, too, at risk of breaking my social isolation metaphor, was on the edge of london at the time - but was known more as a wealthy suburb with huge areas of greenery at hampstead heath and highgate. there's something to be said, though, about a place like highgate cemetery - a liminal place between the dead and the living, between city and country, haunted at night by a vampire - and the same could be said for purfleet.
arthur is hard to pin down - for the life of me i CANNOT work out where 'ring' is supposed to be - at first i thought it might be a shortening for ringwood, hampshire, which could work! but i just don't know. his character does scream privileged southern/home counties though, and if anyone has any followups on 'ring' and its wherabouts i would LOVE to know because this has been bugging me for ages. lmao
tl;dr, psychology and sociology as informed by place is SO fucking fascinating to me like it just. it affects so much. from the liminality of certain places lending themselves to the supernatural, to characters being mirrored by their surroundings and vice versa, to the social implications of where you call home. it's just!!! interesting!!
#cw ableism#dracula#dracula daily#this is my disorganised magnum opus i wrote so much and deleted half bc it goes off-topic but there's so much.....#i grew up near the fringes of london myself and there's a certain transience to that kind of hinterland which i think you get w/ any city#my own personal hc for jack seward is that he was brought up in an isolated seaside town (harwich‚ maybe?) and went to university in london#before continuing his education in amsterdam#also i like that harwich has a DIRECT ship route to the netherlands....thinking.....thoughts..#while writing this i was doing some research and now i have many seward hometown thoughts god.#[points to a puddle in a saltmarsh] this is jack seward. to me

I just called my local-ish comic store to ask if they could order the first issue of the New Scaremester comic and the Pride issue, because when I went in a couple weeks ago they only had the second one.
I still bought it, but I've been holding off on reading it. The guy on the phone didn't seem sure they'd be able to get them though, so fingers crossed.
#monster high#monster high comics#monster high new scaremester#when i initially went in the girl checking me out offered to see of they could order more but i was so overwhelmed at the time#it was crowded as hell for a wednesday late afternoon#i was just gonna see of i could order it online but the shipping on all the sites i tried was more than the comic itself#worse comes to worse i wait until may when they're released as a volume#my curiosity for these is winning over my ire for them#i didnt think theyd be popular in my area but when i went in they only had two copies of the second issue left#and i think that was on release day#i honestly cant believe i worked up the nerve to call lol i have so much phone anxiety#i feel lucky i have a comic store near me and i think its the only one around for a while#we used to have a newbury comics but thats been gone for a while now#miss that store#shit i just realized...if they only order one copy of the pride comic i wont be able to choose the cover#i guess thats no biggie...#text post
