This lighthouse has Longplayer in it, which is a 1000-year-long musical composition - it's currently 24 years in. More info about the whole thing here https://longplayer.org/
A lighthouse in London
I like a bit of quirkiness. This lighthouse was built in 1864. Although located by the River Thames, it was not a navigational aid but used to experiment with and develop lighting equipment. You may have also seen it in the Netflix film, Rogue Agent.
#longplayer#trinity buoy lighthouse#art#interesting stuff#although tbh I don't really get it#can still appreciate it's existence though!

Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple and how “ability users” (opposite to “normal people”) learning to accept themselves through the acceptance of their own abilities is a queer metaphor of acceptance of own's sexual orientation and gender: an essay by me
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#About: Dead Apple. Watched this a while ago with a friend and it was a lot of fun!!!#If you're reading this: thank you so much for hanging out with me I had such a good time (ㅅ´ ˘ )♡#Next to general considerations: wow they were right that Bungou Stray Dogs movie sure can Bungou Stray Dogs#It's always nice to see the detailed animation and elaborate backgrounds of movies. The animation quality compared to the manga is–#definitely noticeable and it's nice to see. That said... I still like the season 2 art style more? And I'm speaking strictly of art style.#The s2 one looks more soft and smooth while the da one is so much more rough.#The plot is... Very bsd-esque I don't think there's anything to add.#In my opinion Kyouka's arc is the one that turned out best tbh. I really like her narrative development and personal growth in this movie.#I like the complexity of her state of mind. how full of contradiction she is. I especially appreciate the recurring small changes of–#expression that indicate how she thinks differently from Atsushi even if she doesn't voice them. The fight between her cynicism and her–#kind nature. It's all very interesting.#Atsushi's development is interesting too. Although all the open questions about his ability we still have kind of leave me frustrated#I don't feel very strongly about Akutagawa in this movie? I mean‚ he's there. The ss/kk scenes are always great and in character and a joy–#to witness no matter what they do. He just doesn't shine particularly? Or at least personally I dont find the “proving my strength against–#myself” narrative arc to be particularly interesting. Imo it was a lot better flashed out in the da stage play! With the complexity that–#the dialogues with Chuuya added to the character. Dazai attacking him. And especially Aktgw understanding that Rashomon wasn't testing Aktg#but rather only expressing that unstoppable rage that is also Aktgw's own. About that I checked out the play and I really liked it!!#I only watched highlights (aka: ss/kk and chuu/aku scenes) but there's some stuff I really like. I like the conflict between Aktgw and–#Chuuya and how Chuuya messes up with Aktgw at first maliciously and then amiably. It's interesting how Atsushi himself observes that Kyouka#and Akutagawa get along. And especially the sskk almost-handholding and Atsushi saying Akutagawa has a nice profile were cute akjdhbsawhjb#Next. Da really is shipping paradise (╥﹏╥) Sorry but... It is. oda/zai. daz/atsu. ss/kk. s/kk. fuku/mori. chuu/aku. It really has everythin#and the moments are so good!!!! What else. Wish we'd see more of Tsujimura. And Christie. And women in general tbh.#Also‚‚‚‚‚ Atsushi's tiger form in this movie is ATROCIOUS. I've said it before but it's crazy how a franchises that relies so heavily on–#fanservice came up with something this hideous. Man the movie overall was pretty but Atsushi sure wasn't. Firmly stand by the belief–#that only Akutagawa would find that form attractive.#Oh last note. honestly if we're ready to accept a movie where an antidote has effect AFTER the person has effectively died then we really–#can't complain about any kind of insanity the manga brings up#random rambles

Something I've seen a couple people saying is that they want to make sure that Laudna understands that she's not the only one who has been through trauma. But like. Laudna is not the only one who needs to learn that lesson. Actually, it's not even that Laudna needs to learn that she's not the only one that's been through trauma at all, because they're all very aware of what they've all been through. This became an inevitable confrontation when Laudna decided to let Delilah back in, though, and after rewatching the scene, I actually think the only people who managed this situation correctly were Imogen* and Ashton.
Orym and Laudna are both more focused on their own pasts with the sword and not thinking about each other. Orym should have talked to the group and come to a decision with them about using the sword and Laudna should have talked to him about it instead of trying to steal it.
*my feelings about this are still up in the air don't read into this too much
#our faves aren't exempt from having to learn these lessons and orym has also not learned this lesson i'm sorry but it's true#ashton and chet are the only ones who have even tried to deal with their personal shit in a semi-productive way tbh#i could elaborate on the imogen handling this correctly but i'm not delving into interpreting that ship so i'm not going to lol#that's another post people wouldn't actually like and it's because i definitely don't mean this in the way you think i mean it#i'm not saying laudna was RIGHT#honestly i'm not getting my hopes up about how this going to be dealt with because i've done that before#and it hasn't panned out in a way that i enjoyed#so we'll see how this goes#also tbh orym walking in wielding that sword was a ballsy move to begin with#props to marisha for instigating tough rp over it#literally laudna going 'i was felled by this blade' and orym going 'so was i' LIKE SHE WASN'T PERMANENTLY DEAD THOUGH#for a long fucking time#and chet saying that orym's lost more like laudna didn't lose her entire family and her entire life lmao#if ANYONE in this group might be able to understand orym's loss it's HER#i know people are going to interpret this as me saying there's a right or wrong to this and i'm not saying that#people acting like one of them had more of a right to the sword than the other is bugging me though#although my vote would definitely be throw that thing in the lucidean ocean#(i mean really i'm like USE IT IT'S PROBABLY COOL) but like if i were IN the situation it would be to toss that thing so far away from me#cr spoilers

Not too sure if you keep up with jp twst updates but have you seen the new Halloween update with the fox dude, Honest Fellow? (Yes that's his name, I'm just gonna call him honest John cause his name's an adjective). I am seriously loving how expressive he is, his devious expressions are so good
i am keeping very up to date with what y'all are doing over there and so far i've been delighted by the idea that, while half of the school's named population is experiencing a prolonged hatecrime in a french catholic school, the other half will be running away to nonconsensual join a circus led by a catboy and nick wilde's humansona. i don't know enough about him to have any major thoughts, but rollo was so fun and it seems like they'll be going just as hard for this event as they did for the glorious masquerade. any event with an ortho ssr is bound to slap and i have no reason to doubt that honest fellow (because i refuse to disrespect such a brave naming choice) will contribute to that.
i don't usually read translations for events but i think i might at least find a summary or something, this time. there's just something about a deceptively charming ringleader with a habit of luring people into his pocket-reality fantasy land that feels like it would go really well with what i do here.
#i don't know if i've emphasized this enough but i am NOTHING if not an ortho stan#and if i wasn't an ortho stan#i'd be an ace stan#and therefore the fact i can't read japanese is really killing me rn#i want to see my boys T-T#and i think the character choice in general for this event was really interesting#ortho is arguably one of ths most mature characters in twst#but he still really struggles with not falling into his more idealistic principles and taking his reality for what it is#whereas kalim is much more childish and constantly punished and chastised for that childishness#despite it being the source of his most impressive traits (kindness perseverance etc.) and the source of his growth#and ace is just sorta in ninth grade#the worst of all sins that he will surely be swiftly punished for#dfjksjdklsjdfkjslk i like this game can you tell#the only downside is that yuu probably won't be there#although i wouldn't be mad if the writers just made it like#the back-to-back worst two weeks of the pc's life#like you get home from your impromptu conversion and then immediately have to go figure out wtf is going on with that weird circus#it's not /totally/ impossible considering the camping events#and it kinda feels like something crowley would do tbh#personal#anon ask

yes it's 1:47am on a friday and i am thinking about girl genius instead of going to bed
i cannot stop thinking about the theoretical possibility of a twin reveal happening in skifander. like i know we just had that light tease on monday of a maybe-reveal but i'll believe it when i see it and also i think a skifander reveal actually has an even higher chaos potential. i have like five different half-formed reveal scenarios floating around in my head right now and at least two of them involve someone actively trying to murder gil but i think my favorite at this exact moment is the idea of zeetha introducing everyone to her mom & company, with gil somewhere in the middle. zantabraxus spends the rest of the introductions being Very Normal And Polite To The Visitors and absolutely not doing anything to let on to anyone around her that she has any particular interest in gil.
at the earliest opportunity that won't draw attention she asks zeetha to bring gil (SUBTLY) to zanta's chambers/whatever so the three of them can have a nice private talk. gil's response is "oh so she does want me dead then" because he has in fact been getting some extremely weird and very intense vibes off her this whole time and he's known for ages his dad was obviously wrong about zeetha wanting him dead but he generally didn't get ideas like that out of nowhere so uhhhh Weird Intense Vibes zeetha's mom is pretending aren't there = she's the one klaus thought might intend to murder gil for some reason??
zeetha naturally laughs that off and drags him to meet zanta properly. the vibes remain Weird and Intense for about fifteen seconds as she just kind of stares at him silently for a minute before abruptly hugging him and saying something about how much she's missed him and how he's grown up so well and etc etc etc
gil, very confused, trying not to reflexively judo-flip a queen: zeetha, fully delighted by just how right she was continuing to Not Tell Him was absolutely the funniest option: [after a minute] zanta (realizing something is Up here and letting go of gil): …zeetha zanta: you did tell your brother what he was walking into and how skifander feels about twins before you brought him home, right? zeetha, cheerfully: nope! gil: her WHAT—
#also depending on how serious the threat really is at this point#in my head she may or may not introduce gil as ''gilgamesh son of [barely noticeable pause just to stress her mom out] baron wulfenbach''#she really ISN'T trying to get him killed though so. you know. depending#gg#character: zeetha#character: gilgamesh wulfenbach#sarah don't look#allie don't look#also i guess#nyquil don't look#although tbh i'm not sure anything here really counts as spoilers considering the speed this comic moves#anyway. yeah. I Just Think It Would Be Fun etc#we'll see how i feel about this in the morning though lmao

prithee, dear molly, may i request a luke monologue on the subject of your choice
so polite and proper! <3 omg ok what luke subject do i want to tackle when there are so many worth monologuing about?
maybe this would be a good opportunity to talk a little bit about luke tour and the specific brand of luke that he embodies at his solo shows.
because i think it's really interesting - he has his 5sos stage persona which we are very familiar with, still him but really amplifying specific parts of him for the drama. but when he's doing solo shows he still has that charisma and showmanship and general vibe, but it's like...toned down a bit and more heavily mixed with offstage luke.
with solo luke, the whole "sexy sad" thing really comes through during the actual performances of his songs - there's still a level of sluttiness happening but it's wrapped up in the specific emotions of the songs moreso than something he's playing up for an audience, if that makes sense.
the in between banter is a little different too, less broad and showy and more specific to him. it's little things, like the way you can tell he's thought ahead about what he's going to say for each city, but when he talks about those things, it's not rehearsed, it's just the way it naturally comes out of him.
the way no matter how many times he talks about how incredible it is to play these songs for people he's genuinely emotional about it every single time.
the way he can indulge himself a little bc he has more time, and that leads to more specific insights into his mind in the moment bc he has the space to just ramble a bit and see where it takes him.
but mostly it's the way he's a little bit softer overall, a little more vulnerable without the rest of the band to play off, and there's something really special about getting to see that.
and don't think you're getting out of here without hearing about dayquil luke! that was even crazier because it was a lot of offstage luke seeping in, but the version of him that's feeling really comfortable and silly rather than the more introverted and awkwardly charming one. it was the most purely luke-ish i've ever seen him on stage, all the luke things about him coming out (mostly) unselfconsciously, and i will never recover.
thank u to anyone who's made it this far for indulging me. here's some dc armpit and ass for your trouble <3
#it's just really fascinating to see the similarities and differences#and how the different environments and circumstances shape how he responds u know#bc he has this really impressive thing about him where he can be a chameleon when he needs to be#but somehow is also always authentically him#he just taps into different parts of himself depending on what the situation calls for#and it was cool to see him like...pulling from several of those parts at once on stage for the solo shows#getting to really see that actually in front of me#sigh maybe i need to explore another dayquil luke fic scenario#although tbh it's probably not that different than how i write him drunk#idk if i'll ever figure out how to write about tour the way i would like to#but i figure this can at least be something if i don't manage to get anything else out#thank u for the opportunity anon <3#ask#anon#luke monologue#nfattne

some of you will tag every third music post #girl interrupted #femcel #female hysteria #female rage #coquette #dollette and then the post will turn out to be about a known pathetic slobby wet indie boy with a mop of hair
#aka why are the top posts in 'indie sleaze' hashtag female hysteria#are some of you capable of being normal about this#music#actually not music. music aesthetic that doesn't really align with the reality that most people just wear what they have#or go thrifting and get what seems interesting#you have to be well-invested into the idea that your presentation is on display every day quite publicly by the time you have#a curated wardrobe surely.#Although tbh why am I making this post; I don't feel *that* strongly about it; those tags are just weird to me.#Come out and taste some sunshine occasionally; are you doing okay in there?

Arianne being excluded from the show was one of the worst decisions D&D made cause it led to the collapse of the Dorne plot, which could've been adapted so well to screen if they had actually cared to put in the effort
#arianne martell#asoiaf#Arianne really is the center of the dornish plot and there wasn't much they could do without her tbh#need more people to put respect on her and the sand snakes cause they outsell a lot of secondary characters#that + excluding Lady Stoneheart so we just got a nonsensical partial mesh of the two which ended up making no sense#and was truly the beginning of the show's decline in quality#reading every dorne chapter like: why couldn't we have gotten this in the show? 😭#answer: cause D&d were lazy / misogynistic / and didn't want other characters with positive associations with Dany#although on some level I'm glad they didn't include her cause they would've just ruined her character like so many others#think they get a bad wrap cause they were introduced in AFFC but their plot has a much better execution than the iron islands#outside of Asha those chapters are just excruciating to get though + I don't care what anyone says Arianne's chapters are GOOD

THE BEST OF PRIORITY: TUCHANKA (PART 2)
Featuring: Cmdr. Sophie Shepard, Lt. James Vega, EDI, Urdnot Wrex, and Dr. Mordin Solus With: Urdnot Bakara And a Special Guest Appearance by: Kalros, Mother of All Thresher Maws I MADE A MISTAKE! I made a mistake... big picture made of little pictures- too many variables. Can't hide behind statistics... can't ignore new data- my responsibility. Need to go- running out of time. Not your work, not your cure- not your decision. Had to be me- someone else might have gotten it wrong... Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition (2021)
#mira makes gifs ✨#sophie shepard#james vega#EDI#urdnot wrex#mordin solus#mass effect#mass effect 3#me3#mass effect legendary edition#dailygaming#i'm gonna continue the rambles in the part 2 gifset but one of the things i adore about tuchanka is the scenic shots#there are literally so many gorgeous ones that about half of part two is scenic shots because holy fuck tuchanka is beautiful#the kalros reaper ones especially? like those are so cool i had to include at LEAST a few of them bc that fight is awesome#and when the cure disperses?? literally the prettiest scene in the game#EDI and james have really cute dialogue together too!! i adored their moments towards the end of the mission#although i did say i was gonna give thoughts on mordin in sur'kesh and i think it boils down to him being an okay?? character in my book#like mordin definitely isn't one of my favorites but i will respect that he's definitely a very complex character and he's interesting imo#especially in terms of how he's written and his motivations/how he sort of grows and evolves over both ME2 and ME3#like the quote i subquoted the post with is the one you get when you try to stall him from going up into the tower#(so it's not from soph's canon- but i love the scene so i used it anyways)#and one of the things i really like is that you can see the switch from mordin in ME2 who argues that what he did was RIGHT#versus mordin in ME3 who is starting to see what was wrong in the context of all the new information he has#and for me- seeing a character who can grow to recognize that they're flawed and made mistakes- i can respect the HELL outta that#even if mordin isn't my favorite character in the trilogy i'm gonna give him massive props for his character growth arc#because it's always interesting to see someone grow and recognize their mistakes and find a way to be a better person#to own their mistakes and fix the shit that they fucked up#i don't think i'd ever choose the option to not cure the genophage but mordin will always get props from me for his character arc tbh#i'll stop rambling now! have a good day wherever you are <3

i honestly have to wonder if people who say narumi doesn't really love hirotaka/isn't attracted to hirotaka at all have fully read the manga
#txt#wotakoi#wotakoi love is hard for otaku#narumi momose#hirotaka nifuji#narumi x hirotaka#'she doesn't love him' and then she says she loves him at the end of the manga#although it depends on the translation bc in another version she says 'i like you so much hirotaka'#which tbh i also find very cute#liking someone so much that just saying 'i like you' isn't enough#i will say tho the manga/story as a whole could've given her more scenes where we get to see her feelings for hirotaka#as in with hirotaka he has a lot of personal scenes where he thinks about his feelings in his inner monologue#we don't get that as much with narumi#even tho i do think it's obvious she really falls for him throughout the story

ok i think i'm a wee burnt out re: writing so i'm going to refrain from opening documents and listlessly staring at them lol if i get an idea i'll write it down of course but i'm not going to try to force anything
kinda bad timing considering novella november is in three (four? do you count november 1st?) days...
#although that might be why writing has been so hard. sometimes the issue is that i'm just not working on the right project#so maybe that's what wants to get written#all that being said i might work on my screenplay#you don't have to really worry about prose being good or not for screenplays lol you just have to know what's happening#and i've been planning on doing the 250 words a day thing that celtx already has built in#ok that is the ONE document i get to open and listlessly stare at#rum.txt#and i know that the whumptober mods said that twihh ch 3 would still count as completion but tbh i don't actually know how much of it#i wrote in october 😅 or if any of the prompts actually inspired me or if they were just there already 😅😅😅

#tw vent i guess??#came here just to post smth that i'm most probably gonna delete later then leave#but aughhhh last week has been SO bad i really really needed to get it off my chest#had the final boss of a sick victorian child episode for like two weeks AND tons of college stuff to do-#-AND a test on a subject that i'm horrible at (and that i'm gonna fail fs)#AND i was supposed to get a septum which is something that i'd been looking forward to for literal YEARS#but upon telling my parents about it (cause they're kinda strict and ig they would like to know) i changed my mind#cause my mom took it SO personally.... like it was HER face not mine?🤨 but hey!#and although i had the decency to at the very least let her know that i was getting a piercing (which wasn't necessary for me to do but-#-i did it anyway out of consideration for her)#she has the fucking SPINE to tell me how i could do whatever the fuck i wanted if i cared more about getting it than about her opinion-#-but she would always think it was disgusting and that i had no right to get angry at her if she didn't look me in the face or#wanted to walk or be with me cause it'd make her embarrassed to be with me in public if i had that shit on my face.#and it hurts a lot not just bc of the fuckass piercing. but bc my parents (esp my mom) always react like this whenever i make a little-#-change on my appearanceor cut my hair or buy oversized clothes or whateverand like#if she's gonna be soooo hurt when i get a tiny piece of metal on my face. how is she gonna react when i tell her i want to get tattoos.#start taking hormones. change my name. get top and bottom surgery. be completely changed physically.#is she gonna die is the world gonna end. is she just going to stop talking to me forever.#because a piercing is not just a decoration. to me right now it's an extension of the changes i want to undergo on my body.#it's a step forward to looking the way i want too look#so a rejection to any change i do on my body feels like an indirect rejection to be being trans. and the fact that they're unaware of#just how deep their rejection cuts (bc i'm not out) makes me even angrier at them.#and upon the realization that if i ever came out to my mom (and the rest of my family too tbh) she would react *exactly* like this.#well. i did not take that very well.#wasn't very demure of her to say all that. not very mindful not very cutesy :/#also been sh-ing more bc if this and ughhh what a shit week. hope this one's better#also. i decided i'm still gonna get a septum this year. don't know when but fuck all that. it's gonna bother them all the same#no matter what time of the year i get it done. or if i do it in a year or two or five. so who gives a shit.#anyway. gonna delete later probably#📎

It's so funny how, unprompted, so many posts on my for you tab alternate between text posts saying "Nightheart is the best WC character I love him" and "Nightheart sucks, he's the worst, I want him dead." Idk what I did to make tumblr think Nightheart discourse is my hobby but I do find it a little entertaining.
#I'm nightheart-neutral for the record#i like some things about him but dislike how the narrative and other characters get warped around him to justify his thoughts#if that makes sense#i guess for me he lives in the category of characters with good potential who just don't go anywhere#so for people who love him and hate him i really understand both sides#but for the most part. i just don't care. idk#tbh i haven't been as attached to asc protags as i have for protags from other arcs#if i had to pick a favorite i guess I'd say frostpaw? i enjoy her character development the most (bc she actually has some lol)#but idk if anybody from asc would make it onto my favorites list. maybe that would change if i reread it though#it is strange that I'm not as attached to the characters bc the story itself is really quite good#i have zero thoughts about sunbeam unfortunately#beyond her parental situation being awfully relatable#but again. maybe i just need to reread these books#i probably will in the weeks leading up to star's release just to refresh my memory#pigeon mews#edit: oh god why did i make this post now tumblr is gonna recommend me MORE nightheart discourse lmao#edit 2: i forgot to say! although i don't have any strong feelings about nightheart in particular#i do really enjoy his friendship with frostpaw. it's sweet

some friends convinced me to try using a dating app to get over this guy I have feelings for (the feelings are requited but long story short a relationship is not in the cards and ALSO we have to see each other multiple times a week regardless so we can't get away from each other 🙃) and like. why does this give me so much anxiety. I really don't know how to date. I don't catch feelings for people unless I've known them for a while. I'm the embodiment of friends to lovers. and until I catch feelings not only do I have zero interest in even holding hands, the thought of it also makes me anxious and then I panic and run away. why am I like this...
#idk I keep feeling like there's a lot of pressure on me even though everyone I've talked to on the app has been perfectly nice#it's not like I'm actually being pressured into anything#so why am I so uncomfortable#tbh I also don't love the idea of 'using' someone else to get over the person I'm in love with. it feels dishonest#tbf I doubt anything will come of this dating app anyway. and if it does I will let the person know#I think the main reason I let myself be talked into it is really that I can't break contact with this guy#so I really don't know how I'll ever get over him even if we try to minimise contact#ESPECIALLY when I know for a fact that he returns my feelings#anyway. I'm sorry for the vent#although if anyone has any advice on how to be less anxious about chatting to people on a dating app please share#I would really appreciate it
