Goldie: I made tea
Scrooge: oh I don’t want tea
Goldie: I didn’t make tea for you. This is my tea.
Scrooge: then why are you telling me?
Goldie: it’s a conversation starter.
Scrooge: it’s a very lousy conversation starter.
Goldie: well we’re conversing aren’t we? Checkmate.

being a student during peak pandemic was so fucking surreal like. "it's not an excuse to fall behind" I cannot stress enough to you how much A Worldwide Plague Upending Life As We Know It is literally one of The Top Three Reasons to fall behind
#you go upstairs to hear the news talk about the death toll hitting 100k. you get some frozen waffles bc its all you've got stocked up#and you wont risk going to get groceries or takeout. you go back downstairs because you have a 3 page essay due.#you stare at your word doc with lofi playing and wonder why you can't just buckle down and work like normal.#or really. you pretend to wonder#because you know the reason you cant work like normal#you just refuse to allow yourself to believe its reason enough#mine#academia#covid mention

do skully have pokemon?
Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.
(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.
Bonus:
#a homestuck walks into an antechamber and asks#hey is anybody going to make this dynamic wholly deterministic and thus dubiously consensual by its very nature#ANYWAY bigger ramble below. scroll down like usual#isat spoilers#isat#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#sifloop#THATS RIGHT WE'RE STILL SHIP TAGGING IT BABYYYY#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#lucabyteart#RAMBLE START: anyway i think loop is wrong here. they have it backwards. as-- in my opinion--#the main reason they could be called back into existence postcanon is because *their* wish for help is still not complete#they still need help. siffrin still needs help. neither of them will ever stop needing help.#they will thus uphold the wish until the end of siffrin's natural lifespan.#that said. what does it mean that loop can be so wholly forced to abide by siffrin's wants?#(assuming the dagger cutscene posession is them being forced to uphold the 'help siffrin' wish via harsh universe logic)#[as opposed to something capricious and cruel the change god did. which feels out of character for the change god to me?]#much like how the island wish and duplicate objects are neutered by simply sliding off people's brains...#is loop subtly ushered toward their wish? obviously it's not a full override (see: the bossfight). but is there any interference?#and if so. so what? does it matter? if they don't notice? is it even real if they don't notice?#and even if they do notice. the universe leads we follow. how much do either of them value their free will in a belief system like that?#the whole game is dedicated to siffrin habitually NOT excersizing his free will. doing things the same Every Time.#Loop ESPECIALLY does this. predetermined predetermined predetermined even in the FACE OF CHANGE. REFUSING. ANY CHOICE.#Maybe they'd even be comforted by having a universe-ordained purpose even if it is subservient. even if its to Him.#(though. i can't see siffrin enjoying the idea that someone is subservient TO them... then all their suffering is his fault...)#loop got into this mess via WANTING too much. no more free will. can't be trusted with it. take it away from them.#but yeah. gets my greasy detective pony hands all over this. and everyone please do remember i like to make characters Outright Wrong A Lot

You are the closest thing Atsumu's ever had to a best friend, Osamu knows. His brother's faults were often so visible to other kids that it drove them away. Not you though. You simply laughed and called Atsumu a jerk. The rest is history.
Osamu watches from his place on the bench as Atsumu sets up for a spike serve, six steps, the toss, the jump and--
"Don't fuck it up!" Your voice jeers.
Atsumu misses, spectacularly. The ball ricochets off the back wall with a stellar thwump that rings a brief silence into the gym. Osamu sees his brother spin around, a vein in his neck throbbing as he starts to unload on you.
"YOU MOTHERF—"
"Imagine not getting the service ace because the opposite team heckles you!" You cut him off with a jovial smile. "How lame would that be?"
"YOU SCRUB! GET OVER HERE. I'LL KILL YA!"
And off the two of you go, shrieking insults at each other. Osamu makes no move to get out of his seat. Not for the first time, he considers how this strange game of tag could be its own spectator sport. Suna sits next to him, the middle blocker's eyes flitting to the current source of entertainment.
"Not gonna record this shit?"
"No, s'not nearly as entertaining as watching the two of you beat up on each other." Atsumu manages to trap you in a headlock, driving his knuckles into your scalp for a noogie as you kick at his legs. "How long have they been together anyhow?" The question is asked so flippantly, Osamu almost misses it.
"Hah? They're not datin', Suna." That's right. The two of you aren't dating. Not once had Atsumu ever expressed that kind of interest in you, and the same seems to be true in reverse. No longing stares. No pining.
"That so? Could have sworn they were." Suna glances over, his usual apathetic expression almost perfectly in place. However, Rintaro Suna is the closest thing Osamu has to a best friend.
Osamu's mouth goes dry. "Drop it, Sunarin."
Suna holds his stare for another beat before turning away. "You deserve to have what you want, Samu."
"I mean it."
"So do I."
Osamu fights to keep his face in check, fights to restrain himself like always. To hold back just enough so that he doesn't lose his temper. It should be easier by now, to suffer the pointed remarks Suna makes with grace. However, Suna had been the one to witness the smallest of exchanges between Osamu and you. And then, the motherfucker had managed to put two and two together. So here Osamu sits, watching his brother horseplay with you.
You. The one person he could trust Atsumu with, the one person who would be so good for him to fall for... is the same person who crashed through Osamu's walls and took a seat within the inner sanctum of his affections.
Osamu Miya is in love with his brother's best friend and Atsumu would never forgive him for it if he found out.
#miya osamu#osamu miya x reader#hq x reader#hq fluff#inarizaki#i guess im just making my way down the list??#haikyuu x reader#osamu miya would deny himself for the sake of his brother#but would atsumu do the same??#who knows#miya twins#honorary suna mention since yall like him so much#haikyuu!!#mutual pining but osamu refuses to acknowledge the possibility of you liking him back#lil angsty

Villain.
Villain / Hero
Runaan, a villain and hero I very much hope to see this season.
#Rereading Bloodmoon Huntress and thinking that Runaan fits tdp's definitions of villain and hero equally well#Putting your body between an innocent child and someone trying to kill them and refusing to back down no matter the odds?#Rayla got that from him.#But this time he's the villain.#the dragon prince#tdp#runaan#rayla#moonfam

ok but the real tragedy of assassin's creed will always be the spiralling domino effect that underlies the series and that every protagonist is fundamentally just a pawn in a bigger game they'll never see and that they'll never be able to change because they are just a single piece of a puzzle which also means that every single tragedy that had happened to them doesn't matter to the predetermind bigger picture because it always had to happen the trauma was just collateral you can't escape it. altair watched his family die just so he could pass on a key. ezio's watched his family die so he could deliver one message that wasn't even meant for him. kassandra watched centuries rise and pass and empires crumble because she was only needed to pass on the staff to someone else.
#assassin's creed#i get back into assassin's creed#i start having a existential crisis#nothing messed me up more than the entirety of assassin's creed 2 happening because the alien gid people had one short message for desmond#and then they were done with ezio the universe was done with him he wasn't needed anymore he just decided to stick around anyway#or eivor going to that cave in America but refusing to go any further because she KNOWS deep down its just for somebody else

if u think that sirius only stopped believing blood prejudice propaganda bcs his family abused him & not the opposite u r fundamentally misunderstanding his entire character
#like the whole point is that he SO STRONGLY was against their beliefs that rven when they abused him for it he refused to back down#saying that he only qas on the light side bcs of a grudge against his family invalidates his entire character#sirius black

Take any opportunity at all (Patreon)
#Doodles#UT#Handplates#Sans#Papyrus#Sans was being silly and annoying and then The Consequences lol#He got Papyrus to lean down for a hug and then refused to let go so he could stand back up#So he stood up anyway lol#Sure he could teleport - or could he? He seems to be able to choose if he teleports someone with him even if they are touching#But Papyrus also has his glitch abilities :0 Also funny to think about him hovering around while carrying Sans haha#They combine their hovering-teleporting and noclip right out past the Barrier Oops#Anyway lol#Hanging on to him tired Sans out and then Papyrus picked him up - double whammy on naptime lol#Didn't even finish cooling off before knocking right out haha#Not that Papyrus /really/ minds - he's always got Sans! Even when he's being annoying and silly!#Also his forehead is resting halfway into Papyrus' jaw in the last one haha#Comfy and strange! Them to a T#The plates really make their hands look so delicate - especially Sans' - probably because of how small his hands are#So many details that are fun to draw! They have such pretty designs!! Then again Undertale is just Like That haha#Everyone so well designed ♪ A treat :)#And their dynamic is so fun to bounce off each other just fjdsklafdf it's all fun!! I love when it's so enjoyable <3 <3#Sans trusts him and Papyrus takes care of him so he trusts him and Papyrus feels needed I'm fine#Not just supporting underneath him but throwing an arm over his shoulder so he'll be comfortable and can hang onto him hehe ♪#Sweet siblings <3 S'why I keep pulling bits and pieces from my own sibling silliness it just fits! Haha

End of Empathy (time for violence)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan jingyi#jin ling#lan sizhui#We are back to the present! Honestly I think I'm going to try and truncate the rest of this arc.#I LOVE yi-city and I really appreciate all of the support the yi-city lovers have given me. And the patience of those who aren't.#But it's been two months. And I need to move this along </3#Anyways; I love the start of ep 3 so much. The worried concern of the juniors is so cute#but the crown jewel by far is wwx responding like a parent that's very hungover but trying so hard to be nice about it#like 'shhh shhhh guys hi I'm up now. Can you keep the volume down. Can you get me some water and my sunglasses from the glovebox.'#and of course the incredible wham line of 'Xue Yang Must Die.'#'Is YX irredeemable? I'm pro 'everyone is capable of change and deserves a chance.' So Im of the camp of 'if he had the opportunity...maybe#The issue is that this setting has no structure to provide those opportunities. You are perceived as a threat therefor you must die#XY is a very interesting parallel to the YLLZ because they both meet the same fate: outsiders determining that they need to be killed#plus both did war crimes. I know it's easy to forget the YLLZ actually did do some of the things he was accused of (most wrong)#but wwx also has blood on his hands. He also sought revenge in pretty twisted ways. Both were given opportunities to step away and refused#The difference is that we empathize with and like XXC & SL and A-Qing. The Narrative says they were wronged and that is an injustice.'

Need Ford to softdom Stan. Like gently taking over when Stan gets overwhelmed or maybe just because he feels like stan needs it. Like its necessary to my well being.
Need Stan to be a brat the whole fucking time and Ford to just give up on the soft part (lol) cause he realizes Stan needs a firmer hand to take control. (But still being as patient as his irritaion will allow)
#stancest#stan obviously tries to push ford away when he realizes whats happening#he refuses to admit to his desire for submission and need to give up control/be taken care of#ford knows what stan needs though and refuses to back down#stan silently gives in and submits but will clam up if ford verbally brings up stans submission#this can be nonsexual dom/sub relationship but imagine how you will

Kira and Julian going at each other like rabbits in Fascination will always be fucking hilarious to me just because its so funny to consider where the attraction lies with these two. like its not surprise at all that Julian is attracted to Kira, literally just look at her, but then you think about Kira being attracted to Julian and it seems to unlikely and like prime 90s Trek hetero bullshit, but I would like to pose that it actually does work
im not saying Kira has secret feelings for Julian or anything like that, I cannot emphasize enough that I do not ship these two, but since Lwaxana's influence draws on even the most subconscious attraction, I think it's perfectly feasible that Kira would have subconscious attraction to Julian. and I dont think its looks or charm or anything like that, but rather that Julian is, right from the get go, absolutely ready to throw down with anybody regardless of authority or whether or not they could snap him in half. again, I dont think she has any romantic feelings for him, but yeah it makes sense that she would see him do some bullshit like call the goddamn Kai a coward to her face, and go "hm." on a subconscious level
Julian would be an absolute menace with this information if he ever found out about it and this is why Kira refuses to ever talk about the events of Fascination ever again
#star trek: ds9#kira nerys#julian bashir#I love Fascination if only for giving me all this to think about with these two#its so goddamn funny like writing choice of all time. truly#they dont look each other in the eyes for weeks after#Kira refuses to go into the infirmary when Julian is on duty#she's forever burdened with the knowledge that goddamnit he IS good at kissing and she HATES IT#Julian meanwhile flew so close to the sun (being topped by Kira) and then got smacked back down to earth#both of them complain to Jadzia about the entire thing and she thinks its fucking hysterical
