Dear Bonnie, Iâm a coward. I should be saying this to your face, not writing this letter, but I know if I do youâll talk me out of running away from all my problems. Youâre gonna make me face a future without Elena and youâre gonna help make me the best man I could possibly be, the same way she did. And Iâm absolutely terrified of failing you both. So, Iâm leaving. Because Iâd rather let you down once, than let you down for the rest of your life. And I hope itâs the happiest life. Because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, a mediocre crossword puzzle player and my best friend.Â
With great love and respect, Damon.

What I find interesting is how fandom cherry picks what Ursa's hallucination says.
In almost every Ursa discourse I see someone claim that the hallucination proves that Ursa loved Azula.
" See? Even Azula knows for sure her mother loved her, because her hallucination outright says so! "
And the same people who think that, more often than not, hold the opinion that:
" Ursa absolutely wouldn't be proud of Azula, because Azula became a bad person and that's why Azula herself doesn't believe this in the mirror scene. "
- What are you doing here?
- I didn't want to miss my own daughter's coronation.
- Don't pretend to act proud! I know what you really think of me! You think I'm a monster.
Yes, Azula doesn't buy Ursa being proud of her coronation, but this is clearly not what the hallucination implies here. The hallucination of Ursa literally says that she didn't want to miss her "own daughter's coronation", impling pride in Azula for her achievement.
Should we also take this hallucination line as a proof that deep down Azula knew Ursa would be proud of her coronation, but denies it? And this is where I think the fandom will disagree.
So why one thing is the truth and the other is not? According to the fandom, we must believe, that Ursa acting proud of Azula's coronation is a lie, but her telling Azula that she loves her is suddenly the truth that Azula denies. I think there's a clear inconsistency here, which is overlooked.
Overall, this is Azula's own belief about the real Ursa:
That Ursa liked Zuko more than her and that she thought of her as a monster and that's why she wouldn't be proud of her.
Meanwhile, the hallucination:
Azula is the center of Ursa's attention. Ursa acts proud of Azula's coronation, reassuring Azula that she's she's just confused and that she loves her.
So I don't know, maybe this is the Ursa that Azula had just imagined to herself, rather than what what she knows, in order to cope with the reality of what she actually believed about what her mother thought of her. It can be just logically concluded that it's very unlikely that these are the things that Azula herself knows.
#atla#azula#ursa#avatar#azula mirror scene#I'm just genuinely astounded by how many people take the line â I love you#Azula. I do. â at face value#There's no evidence that Azula knows Ursa loved her#Regardless of what the real Ursa thought of Azula#This line is not the proof that Azula knows Ursa loved her either#I wish fandom could understand this#fandom problems#atla analysis#azula analysis#meta#Azula meta#atla meta#Ursa meta

I took a piece of art from my journal like, 2 years ago, and re-did it digitally bc it has been feeling ESPECIALLY POIGNANT LATELY.
#ro talks#art#line art#self love#you're here for more than that babes!!#you're not here to be attractive and demure and unobjectionable to others#your main value is not how young you look or how closely you mirror what is on the media#there is fucking more to life than anti aging#than going to work every day just to make ends meet#than constantly fighting your body because you think it should take up less space#take it from someone who had to stare her own mortality in the face#when that time comes#you aren't going to be wishing you were just a little prettier or a little smaller or had paid all your bills#you're going to wish you'd had more time with your loved ones#with your friends#your family#your pets#your hobbies#i know we live in a capitalist hellscape and you can't just#opt out#you have to work to pay bills and all that#but don't let it be your whole world#you're worth so much more than that#take care of you first#fuck the ideal body or face#fuck your boss#(not literally please)#take! care! of! you!!!!!

ârequiem for methuselahâ crazy ass episode for many reasons. Kirk is being fully insane, like I donât actually think, even controlling for how quickly and easily and readily he seems to fall in love with anybody at the slightest encouragement, that heâd go that bonkers for that android woman he just met while everyone on the ship was this close to dying, but thatâs neither here nor there, because in the background youâve got an equally but much more subtly insane episode for Spock, who extremely uncharacteristically admits to experiencing an emotion (or nearly experiencing, whatever) and that emotion is ENVY of all things. And then spends the rest of the episode warning Kirk away from this new love interest (something that doesnât usually happen, even when Kirk has very inadvisable love interests) and is, in the end, the person who accurately identifies that Raynaâs competing love for Kirk and Flint is ultimately what overwhelms and destroys her with the most killer line in maybe history???
And then to wrap it up we get an equally uncharacteristic sort of denouement scene (TOS loooves to cut an episode off right after the actual climax, leaving little time for falling action or character reflection, or to stick a sitcom-y button on the end where the gang all smiles and laughs at their misadventures and everything resets to zero, which is not a criticism, itâs just the style of that era of tv, honestly) where Kirk is literally miserable over Raynaâs death (again, kind of unusual for a lot of his love interests, he tends to be able to move on pretty quickly) and Spock goes to see him and he falls asleep right in front of Spock (also odd) and then when Bones comes in to give the final word on Flint, Spock waves him off from waking the Captain (tender) and Bones gives him that awful speech about how itâs sadder that Spock canât even imagine the love Kirk felt for this random android woman than it is that Kirk lost her in the first place (debatable but also rude) and how his great tragedy is that he canât love at all like they can and how all he wishes is that Kirk could forget about all of this and move on. AND THEN, to have Bones leave and Spock go over to Kirk and very gently, tenderly, reluctantly touch him and put his hand to his forehead and tell him to forget and HAVE THAT BE THE END OF THE EPISODE??? What am I supposed to do with that??
#âthe joys of love made her human. the agonies of love destroyed herâ hUH. What a cool line.#hope it doesnât become some sort ofâŚthesis statement for you or something SPOCK#listen my number one beef with the way they write bones is that they just make him completely mischaracterize everything to suit the plot#this man is not an idiot he KNOWS Spock has emotions and just suppresses them#youâre going to tell me heâs been on that ship with Spock for years and thinks he feels no love whatsoever for anyone???#like even after what happened in the empath and in that episode where McCoy thought he was dying#he knows Spock loves people!!! COME ON#does he really just mean romantic love?? thatâs so boring WRITE HIM BETTER#also theyâre banking a lot on people remembering what the Vulcan mind meld is for that last bit#like I know it comes up a lot butâŚthis is 1968 or whatever. They donât have this shit on dvd to rewatch#youâre counting on really dedicated fan memory here or on people catching reruns#because otherwise it just looks like Spock waiting to be alone to touch Kirk as tenderly as possible and pray he forgets this woman#truly whatâs going on#anyway I kind of hated this episode#like quite frankly there was too much going on#are androids people? would Kirk fall in love that hard that quickly and choose it over the safety of his crew?#why wasnt the illness ravaging the crew a bigger deal??#they didnât even get into WHY flint was immortal#he was just a regular human and apparently the ONLY one who was granted immortality by the earthâs atmosphere#leaving aside the very creepy and very early born sexy yesterday trope going on throughout#but it was a really good Spock episode if you justâŚ.dont look at anything elseâŚ.#the writer for this one also did Day of the Dove and Mirror Mirror which explains a LOT#two other episodes that are interesting for the character dynamics but really chaotic plot wise#anyway imagine saying to Spockâs face that he has no idea what love can drive a man to do#one has to laugh#tos#star trek#as alwaysâŚ. Iâm sorry that Iâm Like This

s5 episode 10 thoughts
after yesterday's trees that ate people, i am curious to see where we are going. however, i have heard that this episode and the 2 after it are very good, so i am excited to see where this takes us.
post-episode review: another contender for my (now crowded) best episodes of all time list! but take us back to yesterday...
let's read the description here... oh! this happens in a coastal town in maine? are we going to see BEACH mulder and scully? oh! this is giving me many ideas!
and yes, the description also mentions a girl and a doll i assume to be evil, but hey! maine! salt water taffy! seashells! lobsters! moose! blueberries! a quaint little motel!
ah, can you picture it? oh, do i need to write some sort of vacation fic? has this seed been planted? and will it continue to grow?
let us find out!
this girl (polly) has a creepy doll. she is glaring at her mother (melissa). she must not want to go shopping. donât make eye contact, old lady who walks by them. that child has an evil spirit. i can tell.Â
âi donât like this store, mommyâ <- so does she like other stores? other grocery stores? can she sense something here that displeases her? her mother clarifies that they will only be a minuteÂ
ohhhh, when she says she wants to go home, the dollâs eyes open. donât care for that. AND THE DOLL TALKS??Â
poor mom sees visions of the butcher stabbing himself in the eye?? and the cartâs wheels go wild!!!
âplease, donât do this to mommyâ, melissa begs her child <- so she KNOWS that her daughter and/or the doll are somehow responsible for all this??? GIRL!!! she just needs to eat!! they havenât invented doordash yet!! how will polly get her food?? does she have to go to a different, polly and doll approved, grocery store?? or must they simply starve??
ohhh OH THIS WOMAN IS CLAWING OUT HER EYES??? WHAT IS WITH THE EYES!?Â
EVERYONE IS CLAWING OUT THEIR EYES!!!! AUGH AUGH AUGH WHAT THE FUCK, POLLY?????Â
the butcher (dave) tries to call 911- somehow he is able to resist the call to scratch- but the fucking DOLL IS ON THE OTHER LINE???
girl. that doll needs to be thrown in the ocean NOW. you canât be doing this to my boy dave.Â
NOOOO HE REALLY DOES STAB HIMSELF IN THE EYE đ
bleurgh. bleeeugh. pour one out for dave.
and to think! i was just pondering saltwater taffy and the dynamics of coastal msr!!
ohhh, but this little town is so cute!!!! is scully on vacation???
OHHH SHEâS GETTING GAS FOR HER FANCY CAR IN A MAINE T SHIRT AND SUNGLASSES <3 ohhhâŚ. ohhhhh⌠vacation scully⌠i am holding her so gently
(she must have been so excited to get that silly little souvenir shirt if she had it on before she even got there... and i love that for her)
who calls her at this hour? (as if we need to ask!)
âmulder, i thought we had an agreement. we were both going to take the weekend offâ (he is fully in his office playing around with his chair) LMAOOOO
this man physically cannot relax. âright, right, right, i know. but i-i-i just received some information about-about a caseâ <- at least he seems self-conscious about the fact that he is breaking their agreement
AWW, SHE JUST WANTS TO CHILLÂ
âyou didnât rent a convertible, did you?â âwhy?â âare you aware of the statistics of decapitation?â <- grown ass man playing on a chair when he says this, btw. please worry about yourself.
(it is so funny how badly he wanted to hear her voice but cannot bring himself to talk about normal human conversation topics, such as the vacation she is about to embark upon)
LMAO SHE INFORMS HIM THAT SHE IS HANGING UP LIKE HE IS A SMALL CHILD!!! AND HE SEEMS SURPRISED WHEN SHE DOES
aww, the poor man is just a loser!
(reading these notes back for editing purposes and i am STILL laughing. god, he's such a nerd.
he's thinking, "hey, i know we promised to not talk about work for 2 whole days, but i missed you. do you want to talk about work? please don't get decapitated, honey. oh man, she hung up on me :("
meanwhile, she's thinking "for the love of god. just let me have a nice vacation. yes, mulder, you want to solve a mystery, but i need a break. no, i won't get my head cut off. okay, i'm saying goodbye now. GOODBYE.")
she rolls off in her convertible. which is a mustang, btw. serve. and melissa and polly nearly run her over. she looks pissed at their erratic driving.
woah! she is at the store where the eyeball gouging just took place. she finds all of the grocery store customers with blood on their faces!!!! but luckily, most seem to have intact eyeballs.
NOOO, DAVE THE BUTCHER MIGHT BE DEAD and his eyeball is very much not intact
damn. so much for a chill vacation.
(author's note: it's so funny to me how scully was not going to let this stop her from chilling. she was going to get right back to the beach after watching a grocery store full of people claw at their own eyeballs. me, i would have been calling the whole trip off and heading home after seeing such a horrible sight. her need to relax after so many years of alien nonsense is unmatched. not even demon doll could come between this queen and her vacation)
cutscene to mulder in his office, where a distinct moaning noise is coming from his TV. oh god. and heâs sitting there with sunflower seeds. LMAO?? heâs just sitting and watching.... this. not even doing anything but snacking.Â
NOOOO SHE CALLS AND HEARS IT đ âwhat are you watching, mulder?â OH GOD WHAT IS HE GONNA SAY?
he claims to be watching âthe deadliest swarmsâ <- utterly gagged at that man watching porn while just sitting in his office. stone-faced. and then lying about it. what does this say about his character?
BUT IT REALLY WAS DEADLIEST SWARMS LMAOOOO THE MAN AND WOMAN MOANING HAVE BEES IN THEIR FUCKING EYES IâM CRYINGGGGG
my asexual king. i should have never doubted you.
(author's note: still losing my mind at this as i edit, btw. i was fully convinced that mulder brought porn to his office to watch at work on the weekend, and i was thinking "well, it's not the STRANGEST thing he's done" but no. he's at work on the weekends to watch bugs sting people in the eyeballs. for research purposes. god. what a guy. i wish i could have a glimpse into if scully believed his statement or not. have they talked about this TV program before? is this what he does with his very limited time off?)
âit sounds to me like thatâs witchcraft or maybe some sorcery that youâre looking for thereâ, he comments. âno, i donât think itâs witchcraft, mulder, or sorceryâ (said while the local policemen look on in shock at her saying those words) LMAOOO
âyeah, well, maybe you donât know what youâre looking forâ
âlike evidence of conjury or the black arts, or shamanism, divination, wicca, or any kind of pagan or neo-pagan practice? charms, cards, familiars, bloodstones or hex signs, or any of the ritual tableaux associated with the occult, santeria, vodoun, macumba, or any high or low magic?â <- LMAO she said iâve been taking notes on your theories, boy
âscully?â âyes?â âmarry meâ âi was hoping for something a little more helpfulâ <- LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO GOD. the way her face doesnât even change while his looks SO FUCKING SERIOUS. he's in awe of her. hold on. i had to rewatch that like three times. i'm absolutely HOWLING over here.
and to be fair, had she said that string of words to me on the phone as well, i would have reacted in the same way! i cannot fault him there.
while watching the footage of what went down at the grocery store, she notices that melissa is the only one who seems unaffected. the police seem to not believe that means anything until she politely points out that maybe they should talk to melissa about the whole situation, and then she tries to get tf out of there LMAOOO she is not going to let ANYTHING interrupt vacation time!!!!
âpeople here say sheâs a witchâ âwell, thatâs not the first time for that accusation in these partsâ <- LMAO GET HIM AGAIN FOR ME
ohhhh, the cop says that melissa was âcarrying onâ with dave the butcher⌠who is now dead⌠well! that is deeply suspicious!!!
a policeman named buddy is trying to call melissa while polly and the doll listen to some old timey music. polly COMMANDS her to hang up. i fear the consequences for what will happen if melissa continues her chat.
nooooo :( buddy the cop tells melissa that dave is dead⌠but the doll is speaking now, because polly is being ignored!!! melissa says he canât come here, but buddy insists on coming.Â
so, again, it seems melissa knows that the doll is committing the crimesâŚ.
scully arrives with the other cop, named jack, to melissa and polly's house. scully is in her killer outfit of: blazer, maine t shirt, and sunglasses. looking like a million bucks. she proceeds to do the cop's job better than he does when she notices the backdoor is wide open.Â
feels so strange to see scully in jeans. i make note of this special occasion
ohhh, sheâs in the little girlâs room which could be sensitive for her... but she seems fine.Â
(author's note: i keep getting jarred by how much they are NOT acknowledging the whole emily plotline... here i was thinking that this child's room would bring scully to tears and she's just looking around, observing as always... the writers truly did not give a damn)
lore reveal: melissaâs husband died in a boating accident⌠or did heâŚ?
allegedly, polly is autistic, and the daycare lady slapped her across the face after a tantrum!!! what!! you canât do this!! scully seems shocked to hear of the slapping (but she keeps it very professional, as she always does) and then MORE shocked to hear that the daycare lady was knocked on the ground. by the little girl. but the cop said she never touched her.
yes, i am sure that the ghost doll can do impossible things, even attacking old ladies. the daycare lady got fired for the slapping (well, yes!) and the people call melissa a witch as a result (um... not her fault?)
(why are there so many people named melissa in this show? could we not get a little creative? did the writers only know of 3 or 4 names? crack open a yearbook or one of those baby names books that writers use, damn!)
omg, so the tea is that dave had a WIFE, but was still trying to get with melissa!!! but melissa did not want him like that. a queen who stays in her lane.
scully notices that the windows are all nailed shut. maybe melissa nailed the windows in because she was afraid of something getting out� like an evil ghost doll?
buddy gives the girl polly some ice cream as he tries to question melissa in this restaurant. buddy offers to give melissa some money so she can get away. is this, like, a kindness thing? oh no, heâs in love with her, seems like. says he missed his first chance around. well. i guess we can never have a man doing the right thing out of sheer selflessness. this is TV, after all.
she says she has seen things⌠meanwhile polly is DEMANDING more cherries from the ice cream lady. (and polly has strange taste. i like those cherries too, but they're very strong; one or two will do the job)
melissa tells buddy that she saw dave dead before he died! and it wasnât the first time!!! she saw her husband before he died, too! buddy seems to take this news better than expected.
ohhh, this lady at the ice cream counter says polly has to ask her mom for money to buy more cherries⌠i assume she does not have much longer to live
the doll opens its eyes IN THE RESTAURANT, and melissa says itâs time to go, knowing what is about to go down. buddy tries to give her a key to a place they used to go hunting, but NOOOOOO, the ice cream ladyâs head is stuck in the ice cream machine!!!!!!!
melissa takes polly and the doll and they book it.
this is an injustice to food service professionals everywhere.
the other cop guy- the one named named jack- is visiting jane, the old lady from the very beginning of the episode who briefly made eye contact with polly. and scully is here too!!
okay, so jane immediately launches into saying that melissa is from a line of witches. cool, cool. this must be the lady who ran the daycare. scully looks amused as she slams the door in their faces and remarks on ânew england hospitalityâ lmaooo
(she claims she's heard about it all her life, but never experienced it- is this her first journey to new england? like, recreationally, and not for work? omg! the cali girl is being exposed to the northeast! culture shock! she is learning the ways of mulder and his people!)
ah yes, we see as they leave that the sign on the door of janeâs house shows itâs the daycare. well, FORMER daycare.
scully wants to know if this lineage of witches thing is really all talk. and the policeman jack cannot figure out why he would want to bring melissa in. LMAO despite him being entirely incompetent at his job, scully does NOT WANT TO HELP IâM CRYING. she is PROTECTING HER PEACE!!!
melissa and polly pull up to the cabin buddy gave them the key to. ohhh, she doesnât have any gear⌠and itâs winter up here. girl! how will they eat!!
polly wants her BED and her RECORDS, and the doll is AWAKE. so now melissaâs racing home after seeing a dead jane in her rear window!!!
back at her home, the records are going off⌠jane is here, for some reason, perhaps to investigate the loud noises despite there being no one home... and when she takes off the record off the playerâŚ. NOOOO, NOT HER STABBING HERSELF WITH THE BROKEN RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
scully is taking a nice bubble bath, trying to relax⌠with some classical musicâŚ. but the phone is ringing!!! she slams the door with her foot LMAO and awww she gets out and wraps her hair in a towel <3 i love relaxed scully <3
wait, hold on, what is this book next to the phoneâŚ? allow me to pause. âaffirmation for women who do too muchâ by adrianna carrillo⌠now hold on, i need to look into thisâŚÂ
okay, so it doesnât seem to be a real book, but instead a play on âmeditations for women who do too muchâ, which has a very similar book cover and was published in the 90's. huh. the more you know! i wonder if copyright laws prevented the prop team from having the real thing.
we all know that she is, in fact, a woman who does too much. so i am glad she is affirming herself.
anyway, what was going on? yes, evil doll. there's a message on the phone. she does not play it. SHE DOES TOO MUCH ALREADY!!!!
AND the policeman jack is at her door!!! noooooo, she cannot get a break!!
they find jane dead with the record playerâŚ. they're investigating at the crime scene when the cop gets a call and says "it's for you"
LMAOOO, HOW DID MULDER FIND THE POLICEMANâS NUMBER, IâM CRYING???
(AND he says he called the hotel!! how did he find the hotel room's number?? he is a sleuth)
âhey, morning, sunshine!â he says happily (loud thumping over the phone) BAHAHA WHAT IS GOING ONNN?
he was worried about her!!! LMAOOOOO HE SAYS THEYâRE DOING CONSTRUCTION RIGHT OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW, BUT HE WAS REALLY JUST BOUNCING HIS BASKETBALL BAHAHAA
awwww, he really WAS worried... he gets separation anxiety. that damn ball of his gets good use when he is nervous!!
omg⌠we finally get a decent look at his wall art while he is standing there in his underwearâŚ. itâs just houses. sort of abstract, colorful, houses. with heavy lines. hmm. i will make assumptions on his character based on this.
BAHAHA AND MULDER THINKS THEREâS A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION FOR HER CASE oh my gosh he thinks itâs dancing sickness KING, SHE KNOWS WHAT THAT IS!!!
why is the only thing this man has in his fridge a bottle of orange juice? and it is presumably expired, because he makes an awful face when he takes a sip, and then we see that it says âoct 97â on the carton, which i take it is not. so is this set in 98? early 98? since we just passed chrismas?
god. how has he stayed alive this long? is there some sort of cafeteria at the FBI he sustains himself with?
LMAO HE SPITS THE JUICE BACK OUT AND SHE HANGS TF UP BAHAHAAA
she has had enough!! she called this guy jack and said maybe we need to keep our minds open to extreme possibilities (gasp!) LMAOOO âokay, but arenât you on vacation?â <- SHE NEEDS A RAISE!! MAYBE IF YOU COULD DO YOUR JOB, JACK, SHE COULD TAKE A VACATION FOR REAL!!
now polly and the doll are back at home, and OH, the doll is breathing as the two sleep next to each other. this is not something that i care for. melissa is trying to do something to stop the doll's reign of terror, but it opens its eyes and catches herâŚ. so she cries downstairs. NO! not a dead buddy vision!!!!
LMAOOO meanwhile scully is utterly gagged at the size of this lobster sheâs splitting with jack: âthat looks like something out of jules verne. weâre supposed to eat that?â <- SHEâS SUCH A NERD IâM CRYINGGGG
she really is experiencing new england culture shock and it is hilarious
sheâs trying to learn about melissaâs husbandâs death as jack manhandles this lobster. the boat he died on is out the windowâŚ
this damn doll keeps replaying the hokey pokey over and over again. count your days, demon!!!
ohhh, buddy is here at melissa's place to take her into the station!!! and he sees the doll open her doll eyesâŚ.
scully is trying to figure out wtf went down the night melissaâs husband died, as she now talks to this grizzled old sailor who was there with him on that fateful evening
âi told my story to the chiefâ, he says; âpeopleâs storyâs changeâ, she answers <- ohhhh yeah, she IS a noir detective, yes maâam!
omg, melissa's husband/polly's dad found that freaky ass doll in the ocean!!! it was the night before polly's birthday, so he thought it was a gift from the sea!! and he heard the doll talkingâŚ. and then the old grizzled fisherman found melissaâs husband with the HOOK THROUGH HIS SKULL BLEUGGHHH?
(this episode was funny but the gore was SHEESH)
ohhh, and he put together that the doll was involved when he saw them in the store that morning
(her phone rings) âoh hey, i thought you werenât answering your cell phoneâ heâs TWIRLING the literal phone line while he calls her iâm CRYING this man is down TERRIBLE
OHHH HE IS TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION WHEN SHE ASKS IF THERE ARE ANY REFERENCES IN OCCULT LITERATURE TO EVIL DOLLS LMAOOOO
he starts explaining and then she says that she âwas just curiousâ, probably because his heart would be broken if he knew she found a haunted doll without him. turns out there is quite a history of them in new england!
âi would suggest that you check the back of the doll for a-a plastic ring with a string on itâ (she rolls her eyes and hangs up)Â
LMAOOOOOO STOP my face hurts from smiling at this episode. why is he like that!
poor melissa is crying, making popcorn at the stove for the screaming polly, while BUDDY IS DEAD ON THE FLOOR!!!!!! NO MELISSA!!
she hammers the windows and doors shut even moreâŚ. but the doll cannot stand the pounding!!! and melissa sees herself dead in the window!!!! nooo!
scully and jack roll up just in time to either save the day or watch it get much, much worse.Â
omfg is melissa gonna set the whole house on fire?????? but she canât get a match to light!!!! the doll keeps blowing it out!!!
from outside the house, scully sees buddy dead on the floor!!!! and the doll wonât let melissa grab a knife!!!! but the demon doll somehow opens up the locked cabinet and gets the hammer!!!!
scully is absolutely SLAMMING herself into that door to open it, but NOOOO the doll says âi donât like you anymoreâ and makes melissa take the hammer and JAM IT IN HER OWN FACE?!?!?!?!?!?
scully and jack finally break in!! scully takes the doll away from polly despite her many refusals and PUTS IT IN THE MICROWAVE?? YAAAS THE DEMON CATCHES FIRE!!!!!!!!! scully is very dramatically watching that doll burnâŚ.
(this had me absolutely CRYING. she had no time for science that day. she was on vacation. if there is going to be an evil demon doll while she is off the clock, she is going to throw that mfer in the microwave and watch it go up in flames. extreme possibilities are allowed, but ONLY when it is not her duty to save the world.)
((also laughing that the doll was able to put out matches and throw knives and make people gouge out their eyes, but scully putting her in the microwave was so unpredictable this demon had zero defense against it. that, or her catholic powers simply neutralized the evil presence, rendering the doll immobile in her godly hands. i choose to imagine it is a combination of both))
while mulder is sharpening a ton of pencils and putting them in rows back in the office LMAOOOO
scully finally returns to the basement office! she tells mulder she wants to send his famous wall poster to "some guy named jack"!!! he seems unbothered by this, whereas i was shocked! and then she denies doing any work on the case while up there, saying she was just on vacation. ah, if only we could have seen her frolicking on the beach after those incidents.
what did mulder get up to while she was away? âoh god, i mean, itâs amazing what i can accomplish without incessant meddling or questioning into everything i doâ (pencils begin to fall on him from the ceiling, as we pan up and see like, 40 pencils launched up there) LMAOOO
âthereâs got to be an explanationâ âsome things are better left unexplainedâ fair enough
a cutscene back to maine... NOOOO, another fisherman hauls out the haunted doll while the hokey pokey ominously plays in the background đ
i hope he promptly tossed her back into the watery grave. let her torment some fish instead.
so, final thoughts: scully putting the doll in the microwave⌠she really is THE final girl, huh?
this episode was soooo silly. i loved it. mulder had no brain cells. scully took a bath and made a friend who she wants to send a poster to. she is gagged by lobster. lmaoooooooo mulder missed her SO bad, he was trying to do science to impress her, bahaha. and she had her little maine shirt on!!! the role reversal of him being the science-centered one because he wants to talk to her that badly, and her being the one willing to deal with demons for a few days also killed me.
def going on the list of faves.
i think it is so funny that she was so focused on relaxing for once in her life that she truly did not give a single fuck if that doll was possessed or not. normally she would be scrambling for explanations, and today she simply did not have the time. she wanted to take a nice bubble bath, listen to orchestral music, read her little book, and if a demon was going to get in the way of that, then she would simply stop it and move along with her roadtrip. and i think that is beautiful.
and to answer my earlier question: YES, i still want a REAL joint msr vacation fic with REAL relaxation and REAL saltwater taffy and splashing and no murder dolls, but maybe like ONE ghost tour because new england is old and spooky, and then mulder can ask if they want to get married for real and they can go hiking or some other nerd activity and be happy forever and always <3 the end!
#big smile on my face after this one#i am also questioning how mulder made it this far in life#while i thought he was reduced a bit excessively to comic relief this is a very minor complaint in the grand scheme of things#trying to imagine telling grumpy âi work aloneâ mulder from the pilot that he would call his partner like 800 times on her vacation#and i think it was a nice mirroring of 3x12 how it was her turn to have a solo mission#i love a scully centered episode! i am not that hard to please in life!#cannot stop laughing at her announcing she is going to hang up like he is a small child lmaoooo#5x10#the x files#txf#juni's x files liveblog

*lovingly tackles Aine*
Read my Yandere! Pierro longfics first âŞ( ´â˝ď˝)
Last week, my beloved mutual @ainescribe surprised me with Savior! Darling fan art and AHAI9232@2-!/! CRYING SCREAMING I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ART AND WORSHIP YOUR VERSION OF SAVIOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR ARTâ
*clears throat* Anyway, now that I finally have the time to properly sit down and comment on the fan art, Iâll do just that. Feedback will be in the tags and it will be unhinged. Once again, thank you so much to Aine for drawing this <3
#feedback#fan art#ainescribe#AIIINE ;-; once again. thank you so much!! it rlly means a lot to me that you enjoyed my writing and felt inspired to draw this :'>#and as someone who loves fashion and character design. it's so so interesting to analyze your version of savior#there's so much symbolism and visual storytelling in each sketch/ outfit and i shall now proceed to pick apart each detail as best as i can#her snezhnayan fit.....god i love it. it's regal. distinctively snezhnayan. and draws attention to her--and you just know that was pierro's#intention when he dressed her in those garments. IT'S JUST SO...!! savior's wardrobe scrubbed clean of her original culture and preferences#replaced with the foreign garments of her captor's nations.....in line with this. i love how her kokoshnik and khaenri'ahn earrings are big#and attention-grabbing. you can't look at her without taking note of those accessories. it begs the question:: how many times has savior#looked at the mirror after being dressed up in snezhnaya and was unable to recognize her own reflection?? :'>#also shoutout to some details aine shared with me: 1) the face marks are inspired by weeping angels 2) the kokoshnik was traditionally worn#by married noblewomen BUT the veil was normally for unmarried women so savior's outfit can be seen as a form of compliance + rebellion#(though later on in history it became accepted for married women to also wear that veil. also my apologies if what i said is inaccurate)#lastly shoutout to savior's expression!! very poised and mysterious....due to her emotional state or pierro's rules on how to act as his#spouse in public?? we'll never know~ the first drawing hits even harder when you compare it to the next one!! such an interesting contrast~#savior in her plain attire. casual and domestic with a smile on her face....i'm guessing this is her pre-fatui version?? she looks so warm#and friendly. and i can definitely understand why pierro fell for her smile <3#also i fucking love the caption. sorry pierro but you are cursed to be a loser/ simp/ pathetic man in all of my fics and AUs xD#NOW ONTO GODDESS! SAVIOR AAAHHHH!! i love the greek goddess motifs. she looks so regal and awe-inspiring but in a different way from her#snezhnayan attire--archaic. divine. and more suited to her personal style.....yet both versions of her look so painfully isolated :'>#her blank eyes. emotionless face. and veil give me the vibes of a spooky victorian ghost...or would a statue/ portrait be more fitting??#the lack of a necklace is also an interesting design choice given what happens in the fic. and now i realized i forgot to comment on your#version of her snezhnayan necklace oops. similar to the kokoshnik and earrings. the size + grandeur makes it impossible to ignore#that and big jewels = expensive af. ohhh and i love the sparkles on her veil!! pierro rlly spared no expense in dressing up his wifey <3#it's also funny how all of these outfits are similar to my own version in terms of 'savior wore grand clothing during her glory days as a#goddess -> wore simple attire after her decline for practicality and to blend in with humans/ disassociate from her old identity -> is now#dressed in even grander clothing as the harbinger's spouse. but it's used to reinforce her new identity and pierro's control over her'#tldr:: your design is so creative and i can see the effort you put in analyzing her character and depicting her based on your interpretatio#thank you for being my mutual + reader and i hope we can share even more harbinger/darling brainrot in the future :>

just fell to my knees in walmart cause i remembered that tigris was willing to lay down her life and sell herself to make sure that coryo had food on his plate and was willing to do anything to ensure his safety while he was so quick to manipulate her love for him and eventually cast her away after she no longer had use to him
#coriolanus when i catch you-#tigris did EVERYTHING for that boy and he repaid her by throwing it all in her face#âyou look just like your father coriolanusâ i hope that twisted a fucking knife into his soul#i hope heâs satisfied with the fact that his own COUSIN is telling him that heâs become a mirror of his cold-hearted and iron-fisted father#you will pay for your crimes coryo#tigris we love you in this household#tbosas#president snow#coryo snow#coriolanus snow#tigris snow#thg#the hunger games#the ballad of songbirds and snakes

that day when she opened her eyes for the first time. i remember you were just staring through the laboratory's glass not setting a single foot inside.
#lobotomy corporation#lobcorp#lobotomy corp spoilers#ayin#angela and hokma/benjamin as well technically but not really so no tag for you gang#god. ive just been thinking about that like constantly ever since ive saw it.#had to do some shitty drawing for it somehow#what face did he wear staring at that synthetic face that would never smile shamelessly with warmth again like how She did#staring into the eyes that were a mirror a mimic of his own to see the fruits of his labor. of obsession after pouring everything#into that one project. that project to construct the woman they all love all missed.#the woman who he held with a broken shattered and empty void where his heart used to be.#just.. staring. staring at what wouldve been carmen but absolutely not her. idealized and a concept of her.#hair of the sky she so adored. the 'voice of the wisest person'. pale skin not holding any of the rosey warmth in her cheeks.#to finally step back and have it over#the project he threw himself into for hours just creating fruitlessly trying to make her be with him with them again#then just sitting back. at the finaly moment. at seeing his creatuons conception. it all just stopping at that moment#nothing else to tinker to to finalize. nothing left to attempt to code. having to just stop there#have to just stare at the glass. at his work. which is more definitely Not Her.#i should be yappin somewhere else sorry ill probably make a post somewhrte else LMAOOO#lobotomy corporation spoilers

sorry i am not done being upset about how cressida was treated in part 2.
i especially want to talk about how the conversation between eloise and penelope had about cressida genuinely made by blood boil.
when eloise said "i genuinely enjoyed her at the start", she made their entire friendship sound so trivial, like cressida was just some toy meant for her entertainment...and then she basically said the friendship was motivated by pettiness (which fine is justified giving her anger at penelope being LW).
also saying she hopes cressida has a "reasonable" moment like have we even seen cressida be unreasonable? imo most of her actions have perfectly reasonable explanations.
it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to see cressida doubting her actions, regretting them even and questioning whether it was a good idea (it wasn't) meanwhile eloise is out there calling her a viper, a monster (and that is before cressida and her mother publish their sheet about the bridgertons) and basically saying "well she was fun at first but then I got bored"
#whoever that person in part 2 is its not eloise bridgerton#tbh it makes cressidas words about how eloise should maybe look in the mirror when talking about cruelty seem like forshadowing#is cressida an innocent character whos never done wrong? no#did she bully penelope and do some questionable shit? yes#does she keep choosing the worst option? also yes#is she a lonely scared and desperate girl who has abusive parents and faces a life with an abusive relative? yes#do i want to hug her? yes#do i want her to get a redemption arc and a hea? yes#i'm a cressida cowper stan#this is a cressida cowper fanblog now sry#cressida cowper#eloise in part 2 was so ooc#i still love her tho she's one of my faves#and cressida is my problematic fave who has never done anything wrong in her life ever (joking)#bridgerton#bridgerton spoilers#my post#own post

My personal headcanon for the WH Mirror World is that Ishmael agreed to be a maid under the Edgar Family because she knew the heir was a sickly waif of a man who would probably croak from TB in a decade or two and she can train up to face Ahab in that amount of time, but unfortunately she got really attached to the sickly waif of a man she was banking on dying young.
#technically her uptie says the edgar family took her in and gave her a job but. you won't convince me she gave up on finding ahab again#still funny to me the pallid whale ate her entire crew and she was like 'i know that crusty sea hag is still alive'#AND SHE WAS RIGHT#i know in the WH timeline she's 'gregor's doting nag of a maid' but she's still ishmael. she still wants to find the whale.#i have half of a fanfic outlined in my head around this#her taking a job as a maid and training under ryoshu#gregor is midway through his marriage with catherine and she's busy building illegal mirror tech and pining for her ex#ishmael watched their marriage fall apart like. damn.#fwiw cathy does say she wants heathcliff and linton both so like. polyamory could have saved them?#loving the heathgreg toxic yaoi implications here#but of course that doesn't happen#then the whole ordeal with erlking and his sister (probably grete in this timeline? instead of isabella?)#when they finally have to face the wild hunt gregor brings up ish's mission cause he's kind of known about it more or less#he tells her she's free to go if she wants b/c she still has her mission#and ish says she wants to see this mission through first#does she make it? idk probably not we'll see#imagine her being the sole survivor of ANOTHER disaster#and erlking is another calamity she has to kill

I saw a post the other day that made me think about thisâŚ. Just a rough design because I had to get the vision out of my head but hereâs paracelsus as in the one who created aba design. AND sheâs a girl becsuse im awesome
#funky!art#guilty gear#uuuugghhhhhh I love character designnnnâŚ.#idk if thereâs an audience for this LOL I donât even care I just like designing stuff#design details because I like talking about that stuff. hair is red but also blue like aba colors bandages of course stitches on pants but#a different type of stitch than the ones paracelsus (key) has. because sheâs different#things on her head to mirror the key on abas head but it isnât a key. frankenstein bolts because sheâs a mad scientist#and because it felt right.#hard to see but the âvestâ under the coat is actually a skirt LOL aba style.#i might refine this design more or draw her more. Or maybe Iâll just never do anything with this again weâll see đ#i donât like the way the face and arm look but idc thatâs not the focus here

So much unsaid tragedy in the fact that Bakin's "regret" had nothing to do with Michi.
It's stated multiple times in the event "wow her life must have sucked" losing her husband, and instead of returning back to her family she worked to help Bakin instead, and never left him. She dedicated the rest of their time together to fulfilling his extremely high expectations in writing to finish his work, and received very little in return.
After becoming a servant, Bakin's apparently mellowed out significantly, enough so that he now admits how much Michi must have suffered because of him. "Michi might not like it, but from now on we're going to be of two souls in one body as we go on our journey."
But even still, he can not regret Michi.
Writing is all Bakin has. He's wrapped in obsession to finish his writings, to envision it, to share his delusions. He cannot regret pushing Michi, because to do so would be to admit that he went too far with his writings. They created his proudest work together, is he supposed to regret that? Is he supposed to regret relying on Michi when doing so was the only way to fulfill his desire?
How could he possibly admit he regrets any of that when he still burdens her now? They've died, and he still borrows her eyes. He now walks on her legs. He really has taken everything from her, but it's the only way for him to exist now.
#akarambles#Kyokutei Bakin fgo#I love bakin. so much. can't put it into words truly.#also she CHOSE to stay with him even after souhaku died. she dedicated her life to his#to say he regretted that would spit on her choices and decisions. but now she's tied to him permanently beyond death because of those choic#how sad and shameful it must be for him. to look in the mirror and see the face of the daughter he has burdened. and continues to do so.
