#and giant letters

[dawnhypermarket]

Running circles in conversation, just like before

[cinnamnt]

had this in my head all morning

[pizzacade]

The Fourth Doctor's "apology" letter (with omissions planned by The Brigadier) to the Prime Minister, answering why he didn't attend the dinner at the end of the episode Robot.

Her fate was sealed. She had fallen into deep, seraphic love again.

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)

It took Sauron nearly 100 years before he actually invaded Eregion after Celebrimbor found out the truth about him. Why did it take so long? We don't really know, but I like to think he gave Celebrimbor a whole century to reconsider and that Celebrimbor’s decision to fully defy Sauron wasn't necessarily so black and white.

cheesy family photoshoot?? uh, DUH!!

[almondcroissantsandink]

so my little sister (the very same who got me into band of brothers) alerted me that there might be a 'mysterious package from the front' arriving at our apartment tonight. It was a wine carrier she re-lined and aged complete with Vat 69 (courtesy of Nix, of course), map tacks and real WWII cartographer glasses from Winters (which I in real-life do have experience handling and studying double-sided WWII maps of Europe), my own jump wings (real; I have to figure out ASAP how to inconspicuoulsly wear them), and letters from Nix, Winters, Lip, and the boys of Easy. Letters below the cut; I blacked out my last name but that's it. Also at my current museum I'm a curator for an artist who designed plane identification field guides for WWII, and I did my Masters in London, so that came into play in the letters! She played WWII-era music on her phone and we read the letters, drank some Vat 69 (it made us very hot temperature-wise), and it was just really, really fun. The story of the wine carrier is that Web was sent it as a gift, it got waylaid by mistake, and the boys all used it for their own purposes before they ended up housing the Vat 69 in it. I'm going to use it for little daytrip adventures and things. I'm bringing the cartographer glasses to work for my desk and incididentally needed new tacks for my cork boards! :)

Not an art post, but much too much fun not to share. <3

"Alastor is just using Rosie" NUH UH whips out the list

1. He is capable of making friends, as seen with Mimzy. So it's not that hard to believe that he can have another friend if one (cough cough MIMZY cough) just comes around when she needs something. Mimzy doesn't even benefit him in anyway, yet he doesn't cut her off, which shows he can make friends.

2. Aside from the cannibals in ep7, what else could he get from her? I mean she does recommend him deals sometimes, but anyone can do that. If his true goal was control over the cannibals then their bond would feel a lot more shallow, like ep1-ep5ish with Charlie.

3. If Alastor was using Rosie for deal recommendations (since she gives him "prime pickings for a deal to be made"), then why not just do so with a mutalistic relationship instead of having to form that bond?

4. He bleat like a fawn. If he was acting, he wouldn't let himself lose composure for an act.

5. They both kinda get close to eachother in a way they don't with anyone else. SHE PICKS HIM UP AND SPINS HIM AROUND AND HE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Sure, he hugged Mimzy, but if she ever did that? She would most likely be dead.

6. If anyone else openly/jokingly insulted Alastor, he would go all scary demon ahhhhhhhh. But Rosie? Perfectly fine.

7. The way he talks to Rosie is different to the way he talks to Charlie. With Charlie he's a little bitch sometimes (oh Charlie you look an absolute mess!) and he kinda takes every chance he can to be a little bitch while still being nice and showing he's important.

8. Rosie knows things about Alastor that he hasn't even figured out (I know your an ace in the hole!), and for Rosie to know these things, that would require Alastor to open up about himself, which he doesn't like doing because "must be mysterious radio deer man." Even to Charlie, who he does have a bond with, SHE STILL JUST THINKS OF HIM AS "MYSTERIOUS RADIO DEER MAN"

9. Hating someone together is one of the easiest ways to start a friendship, especially in hell, where people hating each other is really common (Susan? Susan)

10. If he truly was manipulating all of his friends, he's a sinner, he still has a humanish mind. Humans crave bonds with other people as part of their instincts. And you could just get fake ones, but if you're the manipulator in that situation you'll know it's all fake and it won't leave you fufilled. Which is why having one or two genuine friends (Rosie/Mimzy) would have to be a requirement.

11. He has manipulated other Overlords in the past, like Vox. But with Vox, they would realistically never get along. Same with Vaggie, Angel Dust, etc, he just wouldn't be able to form a true bond with/a very strong both with those people. So yes, he's manipulating/has manipulated them. Rosie on the other hand? They're both cannibals from similar time periods, with similar interests, and they hate the same people.

12. Rosie is smart. She easily reads Charlie, a stranger, like a book. And if she's known Alastor for years (which she most likely has), she knows how to read him past that stupid permanent smile. So even if he was manipulating her, she would know.

13. He HATES Susan, and Vox, and probably some other people I can't think of off the top of my head. He can't stand them. So if he hated Rosie? He wouldn't be able to fake a bond like the one they have.

14. His pupils dilate around Rosie, which is a sign that you like/love whatever it is that you are looking at

Look at these

COMPARED TO THESE

AND IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S JUST THEM TWO

15. Rosie agrees with him when he says that Charlie is "filled with potential that I could guide," so she knows that he's using her for that kinda stuff. With that moment it shows that she understands that Alastor is helping Charlie with her dream in exchange. I swear I had more thoughts on this one but then I got distracted with finding screenshots for 14-

Bonus reason that's more silly then reason: THAT DANCE IN READY FOR THIS IS TOO COORDINATED THEY HAD TO HAVE PRACTICED IT

[venomousray]

I can’t take the time bastard scene where Ted sees Jenny for the first time again seriously because theres a Ted gif somewhere with that screenshot and a caption that doesn’t fit the scene at all and it kills me every time I see it

Happy 10th Anniversary Bloodborne 🥰🎉

Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time, within the past year I’ve rekindled my love for the series and made the Choir Garb which has been a dream build for years! 🥹✨

[smearp]

I don't know how but I've never realised that the names of locations are actually written in game;

I always just assumed someone in the gang went and asked around about their surroundings.

Wyllstarion fic recs where trans wyll gets his [redacted] ate

a fic rec list inspired by this post!

A Veritable Feast by Backflips

16k/Complete!

Wyll was a big boy. He’d handled aches and pains and cycles for years before he began his transition, and he could surely handle it again for as long as he had to. He could power through the cramps, he could handle swapping out his rag, he could weather his back aching through the whole process.

Even if he really, really didn’t want to.

---

One particularly cruel side effect of Mizora turning Wyll into a devil is a resurgence of his menstrual cycle — except now it's got the torture of the hells behind it. Or: Wyll has a period again and is not dealing with it well, Mizora is being very evil about it, and Astarion is... Astarion.

Mod's Notes: This comes with a very enjoyable story about dysphoria and bodily autonomy

He Fashioned Himself a Blade by Noodlefrog

106k/Wip that I'm positive will not be abandoned!!

For all Mizora’s attempts to keep Wyll isolated and dependent on her, there is one thing she can never take from him: the Blade of Frontiers. In his head, Wyll rewrites his own story and tells himself tales of his ideal self. No pact binds the Blade, no stone eye sits in his socket, and he doesn’t have to thank a devil for the beard on his face or the depth of his voice. As he begins to unravel the mystery of Astarion’s easy charm and clumsy lies, Wyll even lets himself pretend that he could someday have a life beyond the hunt.

Mizora’s plans for Wyll go deeper than his pact, though. When she warps Wyll’s body into a shape of her own design, she also gives him a few gifts. Changes he has wanted for years are now permanently sculpted into his flesh with a fiendish twist, and Wyll can only ask himself… What would the Blade do?

Or: Wyll copes with his devil boner by writing fanfiction of his own alter ego, and Astarion tries out some high-stakes strategies for monster hunter seduction.

Mod's Notes: I literally cannot exaggerate how good this fic is and how fast I run to read the updates

Astarion Ancunín, Abortionist by Not_whelmed_yet

7K/Complete

Wyll had waited for his true love before pursuing intimacy - not true love in the sense of fated soulmates, but love that was true the way you held true to an oath. A promise of loyalty, of commitment, above and beyond mere attraction. He'd thought he'd found that in Tav.

Thought. Past tense.

And to make matters worse, the birth control he'd been taking in the wilds had also betrayed his trust. Now he finds himself outside the door of a small abortion clinic in the Lower City, looking for help that only a practicing vampire abortionist can offer.

Mod's Notes: This may LOOK like a crack fic but it is so sweet, tender, and heartwrenching!

[thebirdandhersong]

also whether or not God has called me to teach high school, I do WISH that that were my calling because it would make everything easier. Well. Not easier. Just simpler.
