[Image description: a digital drawing of sklonda and pok gukgak from fantasy high, two goblins with shoulder length straight hair and short curly hair, respectively. they're touching foreheads and embracing, both of sklonda's hands in pok's hair, while one of pok's hands is moving sklonda's bangs off her foreheads and the other is clutching at her waist. we only see sklonda's face and the look of silent grief on it. in the background on pok's half is a stylized dragon's mouth with teeth digging into his shoulder, and on sklonda's side are sheets of paper. over the background on the left is text that reads, it's okay, and then on the right side in brackets it says, (it'll be ok). End image description]
#sklonda gukgak#pok gukgak#fantasy high#fantasy high sophomore year#eyestrain tw#just in case#sklonpok#fhsy#a huge thank u to other artists on my dash who also indulge in making art that is truly for all of 5 people#and most of all for themselves#it reminds me i can just draw whatever i want and my own enjoyment is merit enough#mwah mwah#also hi. i don't know what to caption this so it'll stay captionless#there was a version of this drawing where sklonda was crying but this 'silent grief' is just. more potent#that kind of like. sadness but also acceptance#i miss you but i wont forever clutch onto you. ugh#i like the little space between them because. is one of them pulling away? both? we need to let go for now (i will keep holding on)#(how can i ever fully let go. do i have to?)#its 2 am and i need to sleep but man. grief is a Beast

A quick way to signal that your opinions on both the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime and Brotherhood should be immediately discarded is if you followed the terrible advice of "watch the first 15-20 eps of 03 and then switch to Brotherhood".
#i'm sorry but you clearly aren't able to judge the merits and flaws of either if you have only seen both this way#even funnier if you claim brotherhood is ''the best anime ever!'' and you haven't actually watched all of broho lmao#''brotherhood is amazing because [first 15-20 fma 03 eps did xyz]!'' please. please. shut up.#it's not about determining who's a '''''''true fan''''''' or not it's the fact that a lot of you wanna weigh in on these shows#and yet you haven't actually engaged with them#fma#fma 03#fmab#meta#vent

going back to my roots (i got selected for oposiciones in la mancha)
#it would be so funny if i end up living in albacete after my grandparents left that place to go to the big city#urban exodus#anyways yay!#i was actually a bit scared i wasn't gonna get accepted because it's for 2 different oposiciones: archaeology and cultural heritage#and to this day i hadn't been selected for any archaeology oposiciones#i thought it was because my degree isn't valid for it but. apparently not lol#i'll probably study them at the same time. depends on when the exams are#the thing is. to this date both processes have been updated at the same time#so i fear they'll be on the same day or something#although i just need them to not be at the same time. i can manage same day#there's a lot of new stuff i'll have to study so i'm just chilling. i'm gonna be so annoying with facts about clm guys brace yourselves#also the dates of the exams haven't been published but it took 3 months since the application process started to publish the admitted list#so i think it'll take a while lol#also also. it is a concurso-oposición. meaning even if i manage to pass the oposiciones. i don't really have any merits that count#only the language title. that's it. for what i've read academic qualifications don't count#only if you've worked in the administration#so i need to get a solid score in the oposiciones to have a chance#so. slim chances. but hey. i'll get a trip to toledo out of it so that's nice

#they each have their merits#I usually prefer the more voyeuristic aspect of observing the person sneezing#but being able to describe the sensations and things only the person going through it would experience is nice too#option 3: make them both sick#which is my solution with this particular conundrum

So.. the difference between Kristin/Idina and whatever the fuck the other two are called is that Kristin and Idina’s friendship is genuine. Always has been, always will be. NOT forced, NOT a PR stunt. NOT fake. Cynthia and Ariana, on the other hand, are fake, and their so-called “friendship” is a clear marketing tactic to make people think they’re friends and whatnot. Fake friendship between two celebrities is nothing new in Hollywood. The devil works hard, but the Universal Studios marketing team works harder.
Chenzel fans being annoyed at Cynthiana will never not be funny to because like, yes, and?
I will reward fake dating/fake queerness stuff if its done so well there's 10 shared tattoos and hundreds of hours of footage of them leaning into it so hard your regular bigot takes notice. Don’t you see how much easier Kristin and Idina would have had if they were existing as friends and doing the musical together now, as opposed to in 2003, when they were constantly being asked about rivalries and only that? They were given the same treatment Cynthia and Ariana got at the start, the same you're giving them, and time was what proved the Chenzel friendship to be true and not a Broadway PR stunt. Can't we give Cynthia and Ariana time and space to prove if its real or not too?
Tbh I don't particularly care if it's true or not. I do care that things like this, being portrayed in a good light, are some of what makes being queer for younger people easier. I care that my godson gets to watch them and see a little of himself. I care that I personally know homophobes who watched them at the Oscars and said they're cute girlfriends without even a fetishizing(or demeaning) undertone to it.
There's still benefits to it for me even if its a PR stunt done out of the movie male lead being too gay for it to work with him.
Also, if this is acting? Catch me watching like its a tv show, some good old queerbaiting served hot a la Nickelodeon 2012. Delicious!
The same as I will eat up any and all Chenzel interactions, if you don't like, block the Cynthiana tag, it's that simple, dear.
#Call me queer and baited idc its for me im the target audience#I’ve been a fan of Ari Kristin and Idina for over ten years#none of this is new#they're very different i’ll give you that anon#even if times changed a little#Cyn/ari exist in a space that nothing isn't questioned#but they're both individually queer in their own merit#even if Ari remains unlabeled due to the backlash she got from the queer community when she did her bi song and her bi lil comments ages ag#years before Cynthia#yeeears before wicked#im also quite fond of Lena she wrote my fav tv show#I like all these people on their own#getting queer material from them#even if its acting#its good acting#im down#feed me the baits#take a deep breath#its not that serious#you can have whimsy anon#you can just enjoy things#chenzel#Cynthiana#anon ask#as my most polite ask about it ill even leave this one up#have a good day anon#I love Kristin and Idina too#you can have more than one delusional rpf queer ship#I would know I have like 10

sitting here over the last few days wondering if, while there’s merit to it, timeline theory isn’t actually what’s going on, and edward is literally just a cover story made to wipe henry from existence/memory, and that’s why henry only shows up as mentioned in the weekly watcher, aka the conspiracy theory paper who wouldn’t be under the thumb of anyone in government
i just think it’s interesting. that all the discrepancies, while some being caused by the mindflayer, might just be bc some people have a vested interest in hiding the truth under various different lies, which means we get detail changes and conflicting stories
i just think it would be neat if it was purely about the government trying to hide their mess, which is already a prevalent theme throughout the show. they love hiding their projects, and they don’t need an alternate timeline/parallel universe for that
i still find timeline theory interesting and plausible, but i wonder if it’s less “parallel universe where some things are different” and more “the mindflayer exists across time and might be able to see different outcomes, and the government is spinning webs of lies to try and make the truth unfindable”
#i just think it’s interesting! and i think it has merit!#i was talking to james about it last night and i was trying to think of things that make me further believe in tl theory#and one of them was like. oh they LOVE fringe. and fringe has a parallel universe#but james brought up a good point of like. they can take inspo without touching the parallel universe bit#like. the observers vs the mf. or the pocket dimension vs the ud. there’s many other possibilities#and within the text of the show itself we have scott bringing up parallel universes. but even lucas brushes that off#so maybe scott’s both right and not right in that there’s no parallel universe but there’s a plethora of possible outcomes within one#timeline. rather than other outside physically different parallel worlds#anyway! been just thinking about it lol I could go on more. and maybe i will. but for now. just thinking thoughts#i say things#stranger things

Obsessed with Gale constantly reaching for the stars through the Astral plane and his illusions and Astarion being connected to stars through his name and being a vampire
#bloodweave#gale dekarios#astarion ancunin#I’m normal about them can you tell#I didn’t articulate them well but the shared security and connection they have through each other being vastly different#then their previous relationships— the servitude under Mystra and Cazador respectively#and them both being appreciated by the other for who they are rather than their merits and what they can provide

I have a groundbreaking concept.
A wedding episode/story where nothing unusual goes wrong (or even NEARLY goes wrong) and the audience and characters both just get to enjoy this big event without it going off the rails at any point.
#this is not inspired by any particular case just by my general grumpiness with the way Wedding Episodes seem to pan out#i don't WANT something to go dramatically wrong! i don't want the wedding to be called off or end up cobbled together out of the wreckage!#this should be a great opportunity to show your characters' bonds and love for each other--both in the pairing and the community around the#also i just hate seeing people's hard work and plans wrecked and do you know how much work goes into a wedding??#i WANT to see the dress and the cake and the flowers and the reception that they worked so hard on actually come to fruition#but probably most of all and especially. weddings ARE supposed to be the start of a Happily Ever After and if you've done your job right#then the characters getting married should have MERITED that#the plot can continue after sure. but i want them to get One Nice Day for the start of their new life. marriage deserves celebration#and domesticity! marriage deserves the domesticity of an episode where everyone successfully enjoys a really nice party after the wedding!

Kept trying to find these two wooden effigies from a bog that I forgot the name of but I googled “bog wooden stick figure” and kept getting some random character instead 😑 somebody get their man, it took me more google searches than it should of to find the Braak bog figures. Can’t find a prehistoric cult figure around here without some video game blorbo getting in my way.
Anyway, THESE were what I was looking for…

There are more bog figures than that and one even has a huge cock, but that wasn’t what I was trying to find during that earlier conversation
#emma posts#prehistoric#prehistoric wooden bog cult figures#can’t have prehistoric stick figures around here smh#and if you’re wondering ‘what conversation would merit this?’ The answer is a lot of mine#but this one in particular was me trying to make a joke about prehistoric doppelgängers#I was like ‘damn. idk if I can think of any that might work for me’#and then my brain brought up the stick figures and I NEEDED to find them for the joke#oh. I wrote prehistoric doppelgänger. it was just about historic doppelgängers but prehistory counted too#and I know way more about prehistory than I do about a lot of stuff like every marble sculpture and funeral mask#I’m not saying I don’t know ANYTHING about historical art. just that I’m a bit more nerdy about prehistoric stuff#love both though

I ship N*ia but the idea of them being Formciotti is laughable to me personally. Aside from being neighbors, that’s where the similarities end.
#poorni speaks t9s#I ship them both but I can’t—#nateleia to me is more kelsoangie#and while i personally dislike the nateleia jackieeric comparisons#there is way more merit with them than with ericdonna#if we’re talking canon nateleia is definitely hydedonna in my eyes#but they have potential to be more than that#I WANT them to be more than that because there is potential#and also max and callie have great chemistry

Just 2 AM thoughts: Theory crafting is just another form of writing fanfiction, you cannot change my mind.
#I think there is this misconception that crafting theories and doing literary analyses means you are only like#spewing facts and looking at facts and everything is fact fact fact#when in actuality that is far from the case#even if you were to take a piece of work#and have two people use the same literary criticism to analyze that work#you will get two very different analyses on the same work#Sometimes these analyses can even be contradictory in nature#but both interpretations are valid and have their own merit#this is why I don't like posts that are like “Ew I hate it when people write characters as OOC”#because while yes I do despise me some certain interpretations of my favorite fictional works#I don't discredit their existence#I don't say with my whole chest that they are truly wrong and need to rethink their interpretations#Someone could have a very different interpretation of a character than me and that is perfectly valid#but I digress#Theory crafting is a creative art not a science#Everyone has their own flare to add to theory crafting#Their own personality#their own meaning#their own biases#their own self#and that is exactly like how people write fanfiction#you do research on subjects you want to know more about before writing about#you interpret a character in a certain way and write about them in that way#and you know#I think more people need to realize that#because then you'd get a lot less people going “your theory is canon/your theory is bad and not canon”#and realizing that theory crafting is another form of creative art

Both Dany and Sansa being children and yet being continuously described as beautiful and YET the only men who are explicitly "attracted" them outside of their titles are creepy fkn old men like Jorah and Petyr.........jail. hell even.
#theres something here but i am too annoyed to put it together#something something beauty is supposed to benefit you as a woman and yet it just really doesnt because both dany and sansa are so lonely#And yet they dont have anyone nice their age who actually likes them for them ;_;#makes me sad#daario is a weird case cause hes quite a bit older than dany and id argue is is primarily interested in her power#but hes also like said to be attractive on his own merits and dany approaches him? still bleh tho#we need to get them on the westerosi version of the farmer wants a wife#least dramatic romance tv show ever i know theyd thrive in that environment

I really really didn't want them to port AAI or translate AAI2 and I'm not going to play them myself. But they're my favourite games so of course I bought the collector's edition, what do you take me for?
#anyway i dont recommend it. just play them for free on a ds like a normal person#i paid about ¥14000 for games i already played and own which is ok bc I'm stupid but don't be like me#bro the collector's edition isn't even good but aai2 is my favourite game so i really didn't have a choice#as you can see im still mad but tbh the new hd overworld sprites ARE cute which is saying a lot bc i love pixels#both versions have their merits but one is literally free and a ds game (ds lover) so.......... just sayin...................#if you don't have $60(?) just play the ds version on an emulator for free if you do have $60 just buy a ds and play it on that for free
