TWELFTH DOCTOR I THE ZYGON INVERSION
#his eyes… bottomless filled with sadness and wisdom they gazed at her penetrating her very core#within them lay an entire universe teeming with mysteries and wonders beckoning her to unravel them#my gaze skims across the elegant curls framing his face stirring my imagination#they seem alive dancing to an unseen melody#each strand like a string vibrates with a mysterious energy drawing me towards him making me forget everything but this captivating whirl#peter capaldi#12th doctor#twelfth doctor#twelve#doctor who#fluffy#the zygon inversion#dw

i am fascinated by the way Nordic Bunny 'pops' his minions...at first glance, you'd think he has a gun which shoots a laser from his palm, right? but if we look closely we can see Nordic summoning some kind of energy with a flick of the wrist...👀 the energy around him actually shows up before he properly moves his palm, almost as if he's pulling something out of the ether or generating it himself through sheer force of will? what is it? magic? energy? the spirit/power/etc. of rock? 🤘🎸
#every time you look at Nordic Bunny a whole new mystery unravels. babygirl why do you have these POWERS 🙈💖💖#nordic bunny#shred force#shredforce#starleskatalks

im just thinking about 2005 nu!who starting for a new audience (me) with mystery and sorrow and the idea of trying to rebuild yourself after a massive, horrific event, but also everything that came before that slowly being revealed to weigh you down as well (the companions who were left behind or who died, the way you were treated by your own people, the relationships that hurt you, the demons still in the closet, the constant running), and it ending on a narrative that healing really is possible for this character
and 2024 nu(nu)!who starting for a new audience with exuberance and curiosity and the joy of upcoming exploration after having allowed oneself that healing, and yes, being able to let go of that weight, but having so much affection and tenderness towards ones past selves and the effort it took to get to this place, and wherever this story goes, it doesn't start with grief or fear or trepidation, it starts with giddy excitement for what's about to happen
#doctor who#dw#doctor who spoilers#dw spoilers#the giggle#and they both feel right for what's needed at the time#i wanted to unravel that mystery and understand that pain and hey maybe eventually heal who knows#and i want to see the next chapter im SO excited for that next chapter#hey maybe rtd is a good writer whoda thought#all this being said i do expect and look forward to ncuti crying at some point i think that's good and right

Don't you think it's ironic that the fandom hates Tamlin for exactly the same reason it loves Rhysand?
Locked Feyre in the Spring Manor -> Locked Feyre in the Moonstone Palace
lied to Feyre to protect her (didn't tell about her new powers)-> lied to Feyre to protect her (didn't admit that he was her mate; pregnancy)
Causes Feyre injuries (he has ptsd; driven to a nervous breakdown by Feyra herself) -> causes Feyre injuries (UTM)
Collaborated with the enemy for a noble purpose - to save his beloved woman, and spy ->
Collaborated with the enemy for a noble purpose - to save his family, and spy
Participated in the murder of Rhysand's family -> participated in the murder of Tamlin's family
Punishes his subordinates with corporal punishment (the guard and Ianta's dispute) -> punishes his subordinates with corporal punishment (Keir, Illyrians)
Collects taxes from its citizens -> collects taxes from its citizens (five fucking manors bro are you serious?)
You know what the difference is? Tamlin bears the consequences of his bad choices. But sjm safely spared Rhysand any consequences of his bad actions.

"what is the image of the ideal person..."
#@mark did llh buddhism posting ytd...and today i give us llh daoism posting... 🤲#well this is not new at alllll i feel like im just repeating myself but also WHY NOT.#ALSO. ''they do not endeavor to help life along (...) to ''solve'' or ''figure out'' life’s apparent knots and entanglements''#like...the whole show is llh literally doing that actually.#most of the times he's unraveling the knots and entanglements of other people's lives. while being neutrally motivated/emotionally detached#they're just means to his intended end...of solving his own mystery that is VERY personally motivated#and i'm always saying tbh he would have been very fine even if he didn't choose to go down the sgd rabbit hole#and when he did it was detrimental. prob better w/o that#but the whole point is he did AND he had to. and anything of lxy's life WILL come back to him#lhl's story can be read like a xianxia narrative bc it's a journey of self-cultivation and the setbacks#that come inherently with being human and mortal.#''they are like water (...) overcoming the hard and strong by suppleness'' -> win the fight by not fighting ✊✊✊#anyway i must state that the choice of the cap to go with the yin/feminine para (instead of ghost bride llh) is very deliberate#bc it's theee llh image that comes with the idea of llh's 母神的力量 <3#莲花楼#mysterious lotus casebook#lhl#lhlmeta#my posts

It’s beautiful that feihua was introduced with a fight to the death and as sworn enemies but as the story went on, the audience has to realise that li xiangyi is the only guy who understands di feisheng to the core of his being and that di feisheng is the guy who judges li xiangyi the least as a person; and that their values have always been aligned and that even di feisheng was utterly disinterested in the enmity to start with, he just wanted a sports rival
#feihua#mysterious lotus casebook#di feisheng#li lianhua#lhl#the term ‘nemesis’ unraveling little by little to reveal their actual relationship#was such a beautiful process to watch#by beautiful i mean yes beautiful and emotional but also hilarious#i love this show so fucking much

see the thing is that my ideal minecraft movie would be a horror movie following a group of illagers as they try to crack the secrets of the universe and fail and slowly go mad one by one. and well that would simply not be very profitable in the box office
#minecraft#can we talk about how the illagers know what an end portal looks like#can we talk about how there is illager construction in ancient cities#can we talk about how so much of the mysterious stuff in minecraft has do to with alchemy and undeath and manipulating life force#and illagers have something called a totem of undying#in my mind and heart they are people who sequestered themselves away from their previous community#pillaging others for most of their resources so that they can fully focus on unraveling the mysteries of the universe#and the secrets the ancient people once knew before their society crumbled#and the illagers say but there's no way OUR society will crumble. WE'LL be SMART. WE'LL get it RIGHT#and then they get fucked up by sculk

My Thoughts on Poppy Playtime Chapter 3
Ollie is ADORABLE!!!! "No ouchies or lost body parts?" HE'S A BABY I NEED TO PROTECT!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!! (¬‿¬) I have ZERO evidence for this but my theory is he’s The Prototype.
I’m REALLY happy to see the phone Ollie calls the player on is identical to the one in Project: Playtime! It’s nice seeing stuff introduced in Project: Playtime finally appear in the main series.
( ⚆_⚆ ) ESPECIALLY DR. HARLEY SAWYER!!!! WOW THE TAPE FEATURING HIM TALKING TO THE PROTOTYPE WAS DARK!!!! I knew a man like Dr. Sawyer would be a sick and twisted individual since he created the Bigger Bodies Initiative.
Despite that I was NOT prepared to hear the joy in his voice to experiment on children. It was revolting.
This exchange:
Prototype: "You stick us. Beat us. Tear at flesh. Do you feel it?"
Dr. Sawyer: "There is a secret inside you, 1006. Valuable beyond all measure. I cut and prod and burn at it, and I get closer with each session . . . So speak, or don't. Fight, or give in. Regardless, I learn something new about you every day . . . (Laughs) It excites me!"
Prototype: "Thank you."
Dr. Sawyer: "You . . . thank me?"
Prototype: "Absolutely. I learn something new about you every day."
THAT FINAL LINE WHEN THE PROTOTYPE IS MIMICKING DR. SAWYER'S VOICE AHHHHHH!!!!
_| ̄|○ I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO DR. SAWYER SO BADDDDD!!!!!! He wasn’t around for The Hour of Joy but I hope he suffered.
Leith Pierre: "Normally I'd have Dr. Sawyer do this but he's uhhh . . . out, let's say. So you got me until they find his replacement."
(o ´ _ ` )o The contrast between how Dr. Sawyer speaks to the experiments VS Leith Pierre the Head of Innovation at Playtime Co.
Both dehumanize the experiments in different ways.
Leith Pierre can’t even bother remembering Catnap's real name. He puts on this fake friendly facade. Referring to Catnap as his Pal and Buddy. It's so disingenuous.
Especially when he asks, "Heya Theo! How ya doin' bud?" Pierre could care less about how Catnap feels. It's only when Catnap responds, "The Prototype will save us." That gets Pierre to finally drops the corporate spiel. Admitting to what this place is. Catnap’s prison.
No wonder Catnap worshipped The Prototype after being save when this is what he’s told about his horrific situation.
Leith Pierre: "THIS is your life now. Get used to it."
I absolutely LOVED all the new features for the Grab Pack. The air jet looked SO FUN!!!! Watching people desperately shoot the flare gun against smiling critters in a cramped space WAS SO INTENSE!!! The smiling critter's small growls and whimpers made me sad.
(ʃƪ 〃’▽’〃)♡ The horror in this chapter was INCREDIBLE!!!! While I had fun playing Chapter 2 I remember feeling disappointed by the scares.
CHAPTER THREE HAD ME HORRIFIED!!!! EVERY JUMP SCARE HAD ME FLYING OUT MY CHAIR, THE ATMOSPHERE WAS AMAZING AND AHHHHH THE HOME ORPHANAGE SECTION!!!!!
It reminded me of PT ∑(; °_°) Especially with the radio informing us that in Elliot Ludwig's house it was discovered he HAD THE BODY OF A CHILD IN A DUFFLE BAG!!?!?!?!?!?!
ALSO THAT ONE RADIO'S REVERSE MESSAGE!!!
"8-8-1995 I find your presence intrusive. After all this time you return. You come in here and yet you kill and murder. You pilate and destroy. Your presence was demanded 10 years ago and yet you didn't show up . . . 8-8-1995 You were supposed to be here. Why weren't you here? You missed the event. You missed the meeting. You missed the party. You have no right to be here . . ."
AHHHHHH MOBGAMES KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH THE LIGHTING IN THIS SCENE!!!!!
I thought I was going to see MY BOY 😭💔!!!!!!
Huggy Wuggy is completely fine.
Kissy Missy was so sad and adorable in this chapter. Seeing her stare at the picture and hug herself BROKE MY HEART ( o̴̶̷᷄ _ o̴̶̷̥᷅ )!!! She deserves the world.
Catnap acting like a child and avoiding school 😭💔
Miss Delight was a minor spoiler I knew about since people used her face in their thumbnail. However I was NOT prepared for her to act like a Coil-Head!!!!
Theodore being described as antisocial and having a peculiar relationship with an imaginary friend _(:ì」∠)_.
That “imaginary” friend being The Prototype. Who guided Theodore to help them both escape. Only for Theodore to get electrocuted since he was just a child who didn't know how to safely use a Grabpack.
The Prototype throwing away their chance to escape to save Theodore by bringing him to the staff. Showing The Prototype does care in some way.
Only for Theodore to be later turned Catnap.
THEN the player electrocutes Catnap the SAME way Theodore originally received his injuries. The Prototype comes to “save�� Theodore once again but this time by making Catnap a part of him AND CATNAP ACCEPTS SO WILLINGLY (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )!!!!
It felt like I was watching a religious experience.
I love Poppy Playtime but I do think they show too much in their trailers. Dog day is a great example but even then his scene was *chef kiss*
All the smiling critters crawling inside Dogday as he desperately screamed in agony and for us to run away left me speechless.
I liked the detail of Dogday calling us angel. I'm excited to see all the AUs people create where we save him.
ALSO THE HOUR OF JOY WAS A BLAST TO WATCH!!!!!
I know Poppy is right that it was just senseless slaughter. How all that death didn't fix or help anyone. Especially when it didn't matter if those killed were innocent or not.
However imagining these characters being painfully experimented on and stripped of their autonomy. Going though years of hell and finally reaching their breaking point. It's hard to not feel good for them getting to release that anger. Even if I know it's wrong.
ALSO I GOT TO SEE MY SECOND FAVORITE CHARACTER BOXY BOO YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE WAS SOOOOO MUCH HUGGY WUGGY IMAGERY IN THIS CHAPTER AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I'M GOING TO OVER THINK IT!!!!!! I HAVE NO THEORIES I’M JUST POINTING DETAILS OUT!!!!!!
When hallucinating Huggy Wuggy's face is on the employee training video:
“Join the Innovationists, where the bounds of science are continuously pushed. Or join the Counselors of Playcare, whose diligence and care for our children will help shape a brighter future, just you see.”
“Now every one of you has your part in that future, so should you come back tomorrow feeling unhappy for where you are, or what you’ve done . . . worry not, for your supervisor is here and happy to listen! And . . . should you come back . . . years later . . . your conscience finally getting the better of you. May you descend into the dark and the dust, finding all that awaits you are incomprehensible horrors . . . each hungry for your return, each eager that they might find you. Perhaps they’d smile at you from a shadow, their smiling mouths full of teeth and meat and plastic, watching and waiting patiently for their turn at a warm welcome. Or perhaps they won’t allow you such a time to figure your place in the world you’d left. A world that’s theirs now. Welcome home.”
The video transforms into a manifestation of the player's guilt. Not only for their involvement for whatever they did while working at Playtime Co. but for being gone and returning after ten years.
This is also paired with the player's possible guilt for killing Huggy Wuggy and their fear of him.
The hallucination version being a more exaggerated version of the Chapter 1 Huggy Wuggy vent chase.
When Catnap causes the player to later hallucinate:
Poppy: “Do you even know what’s real?”
Poppy: “No you don’t.”
THEN AT THE END OF THE HALLUCINATION IT SHOWS US THE DAY OF JOY!!!! Which is very odd when you consider two things. We've been told multiple times we weren’t there and during this scene we didn't know what the Hour of Joy was.
So the player hallucinating being in front of Huggy Wuggy’s podium during The Hour of Joy with a large Prototype hand reaching for us IS ODD!!!
ALSO THE TAPE IT SHOWS THAT’S WHERE HUGGY WUGGY WAS DURING THE HOUR OF JOY!!!!!!!
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!?!?!
This is just speculation but perhaps the player's memories aren't as trustworthy as we think. After all we still aren't even sure who even sent us the letter or tape in Chapter 1.
"EVERYONE THINKS THE STAFF DISSAPEARED 10 YEARS AGO WE'RE STILL HERE FIND THE FLOWER"
It’s important to point out the characters from Chapter 2 made ZERO appearance during these hallucinations. Mommy Long Legs, PJ Pug-a-Pillar, Bunzo Bunny and the Wack-a-Wuggy.
Is the Huggy Wuggy imagery used because he’s who we encounter at the start of the game?
OR SOMETHING MORE AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
#Something something something the first key we needed in game was held up by Huggy Wuggy while on his podium.#So is The Prototype in the hallucination symbolizing he's the key to answering all our questions or am I overthinking everything asdnsf;alk#Rambling about my Poppy Playtime Self Insert -> I haven't decided what but something happened to my self insert to cause her memory issues.#She remembers small details from her time working for Playtime Co. but not the experiments.#So throughout the Chapters she's slowly unraveling the mystery of not only Playtime Co. but herself.#Everything story wise plays out the identical in all the chapters except one thing.#At the end of Chapter One instead of the box falling onto Huggy Wuggy. My self insert doesn't pull the box down in time.#Just as Huggy Wuggy is about to kill her. He finally gets a good look at her face.#Which she had hidden in the beginning with a mask + hat and hoodie because of the cameras.#As she ran and descended further into the facility she discarded her disguise.#Once Huggy Wuggy realizes who she is he stops trying to kill her.#Since there's not enough lore about the player's backstory yet I haven't decided why.#However whatever reason or friendship or connection they had she can't remember. Whatever it was causes Huggy Wuggy to not kill her.#During Chapter 2 Huggy Wuggy follows besides her. Helping when he can.#He can't help during the tests however since Mommy Long Legs considers that cheating. Mommy even is confused WHY he's helping her.#At the end of Chapter 2 when listening to the tape about Huggy Wuggy being the optimal outcome.#My self insert feels guilty and worries the only reason he hasn't killed her is because of what they did to him.#However the goof reassures her in his own odd way (pat on the head or a hug) that's not the case. In Ch. 3 he's with Kissy Missy and Poppy.#When Kissy Missy attacks my self insert he defends her (no violence just shoving and growling) but Poppy and I dissolve the situation.#Since Huggy Wuggy can't be protected from the Red Gas I imagine he has to wait with Kissy Missy and Poppy.#As for what history Huggy Wuggy and my self insert have to make him not be violent towards her I haven't decided.#The hallucination nightmare imagery remains the same. Although she feels comfortable with Huggy Wuggy now there's no denying he scared her.#Combined with her slowly remember her involvement and the guilt consuming her. Wondering if subconsciously she always knew.#I'm excited to delve more into their friendship and past. Although aggressive Huggy Wuggy is extremely smart.#Using the vents and escaping the facility. He doesn't act like a lost puppy or anything. He has his own agency.#Despite his hunger and aggression whatever their history is it's important enough he wants to ensure her safety.#Poppy Playtime#MaddyMoreauPost
