at some point if you are a female sun seeker and no one ever beats your dad nunh do you just have to like. leave?? or does this not happen.

sighing in resignation and admitting to myself i want to write a fic from the perspective of the deelishus weenie president guy exploring how tak appears through his severely limited perspective and the struggle through iz-human-standard kneecapped cognitive function to recognize something deeper than the surface level cover story of what's going on out of a misguided wholly human attempt to bond with the individual he's been made to recognize as his daughter, who gradually, disconcertingly seems less and less childlike at the same time as his "declining health" means he's conscious for shorter and shorter periods the longer he lets her "take care" of things in his stead

like i'm aware of how thoroughly outlandish and narratively deranged the premise is but i just can't help being compelled by the potential horror of having no choice in being the "dumb one" who by nature doesn't matter and doesn't realize the difference between themselves and the people who do

yknow i dont go here but sometimes i gotta go: seriously respect clowns. they have the worst pop culture representation in the world and also the best most thorough honor code. they're just here to be silly little guys who bring joy and are very conscientious about doing so responsibly. let them to their merriment in peace you dont hafta take potshots. i dont go here but like maybe i should, you all seem super chill

How the old timey prick got his pet

[valtsv]

obsessed with the idea of time as a physical location. the way you can use "back then" and "back there" interchangeably. time "travel". old memories being described as "distant", as if where they took place corresponds with when. the way that being unable to let go of the past is referred to as an inability to "move on". death, the cessation of motion of both body and time for the affected individual, being a point of "rest". the past is another country; they do things differently there.

armand & louis playing out echoes of his relationship with marius

[erebus0dora]

eh, you know

the usual

in my reality, the fact they're not willing to reassemble the set only suggests they've already filmed enough within said set, so you can guess the direction of my train of thought, r i g h t?

how many DM fics have i read? how many ideas have i seen explored, including those offered by the cast..?

the answer is: yes

(should have made the pillow look softer tho...)

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

I like that despite being a child abuser, child exploiter, and an emotionally absent father, Reginald draws the line at transphobia.

ziska… I hope capcom brings her back someday

Whatever the hell Bill and Ford have going on in the books is so funny to me because, like, we have Journal 3 where Ford spends some time one-sidedly pinning over that asshole and the Book of Bill has Bill one-sidedly moping over Ford AND IN ANY OTHER, NORMAL SITUATION that would make this weird clusterfuck of a relationship mutual but somehow it still always stays one sided, if you get what I mean

every single word of this feels like it was pulled out of a bingo machine

[queen0fm0nsterz]

I will never not be amused by the endless irony of AM and how he, a machine with nothing but hatred and envy for the humans who created him, was so loved by his Harlan Ellison (the original author of the story, AKA his real life creator) that he HAD to voice him in every single installment of IHNMAIMS possible, not letting anyone else take him.

The very thing AM hates most is the one that gives him life and keeps him alive outside of the narrative. In a way, it's similar to how he keeps the five humans alive in the story, but at the same time it's the opposite spectrum of it: the burning hatred of the machine versus the boundless love of the artist.
