Upon finishing American Gods, I have never felt so inspired, so amazed, and so incredibly sure that what I want most of all is to be an author. What Neil Gaiman has done there. I just can't even... It's exactly what it says on the tin, a story about America, what it was, what it is, and how it really has never changed, and how somehow, despite that, it has changed entirely. Having lived in America all my life, and having traveled to many of the states myself, by plane, train, and automobile, it was something I could never put my finger on, but Neil nailed with a dart from across the dingy dive bar. America is vast, and it's not a good place for Gods. Not because of a lack of belief in them, or because the land is hostile, though that surely plays a part. America is not a good place for Gods because, when you're faced with the vast possibilities of what could be, and the horrors of what is, you can't help but be both terrified, and wonderstruck. It is unsurprising to me that this book won horror, fantasy, and science fiction awards. Because it is indefinable, and so is the America it portrays.

Okay look, its reasonable to make Law a medical student/surgeon in modern aus. But hear me out; kicked out of medical school Law OR fired and license revoked Law who works part time at some restaurant during the day, and by night he's doing surgery in his own basement at a cheaper rate than most hospitals or insurances. NOT out of the kindness of his heart, he just wants to perform surgery.
#if he was fired and shit its probably because he doesnt follow fda regulations he only follows HIS regulations#whatever the heart pirates are in this au some of them probably work in a small town vet clinic#and thats essentially where law gets his supplies#one piece#one piece au#one piece modern au#trafalgar law

sorry twilight princess will always be eating holes in my brain. constantly and forever. I cannot ever be normal about it.
it's such a haunted game. you are a dead thing going through a dead world. you are something in between. you can go back but it will never be the same. you will never be the same. you are walking, constantly, through ghosts of what came before. you are exploring places long forgotten. you are the only one on this path because there is no one else that can walk it. you were just a farm boy. you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. right place at the wrong time? wrong place at the right time? you were just supposed to deliver a sword.
#twilight princess#loz#gnawing on how isolating it feels. how othering#its one of my favorite threads of all the games tbh i LOVE the different ways each explore loneliness#like im thinking about areas like the lost woods and the temple of time and the city in the sky and arbiter's grounds#all these places that are so empty or have been forgotten by the world around them#and then even places like castle town that were so full of life but you walk through it first when it's only populated by ghosts#you know the bones of every place before you ever know it's heart#sorry for yapping in the tags again i just have a lot of feelings about tp and tp link in general#this game has been consuming my thoughts for almost two decades now

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Twilight Town
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#twilight town#scenery#my gif#liked how the tram blocked the sunlight as it passed by#i waited like ten minutes to get this shot#because every time i got impatient and turned my camera to see if the tram was on its way (it appears every 5 mins or so)#i'd miss my chance because of course it only shows when i'm not ready. then i'd have to adjust my camera again and wait for the next one

TW: FLASHING LIGHTS!!
Yaaaaay i can finally post this! Happy (almost) Halloweeeeeeeeen
#tw flashing lights#tw blood#tw death#creepypasta#pokemon#pokemon creepypasta#missingno#lavender town#lumiose ghost girl#lost silver#animation meme#my art#pokepasta#halloween#horror art#artists on tumblr#im not really a creepypasta fan in general?? i only care about the pokemon themed ones. idk why#i look back at pokepastas with the same endearment as like. halloween specials. or 1930s universal monster movies??#of course its partly the nostalgia of growing up reading them and genuinely being scared-#but also i still enjoy them for how charmingly wacky and over the top they'd get sometimes. hyper-realistic blood eyes my beloveds

looking over the shots of the murder hut/the early mystery shack and noticing details like the unibear being in gift shop from the start and stan rolling out the bill carpet and later putting bill in the mystery shack sign himself
the wires/machinery/door not being changed yet but it seems like the vending machine was there since early on
#also 30 years later and the price only increased by 5 bucks#bless the no cops sign#mullet stan is going through it#gravity falls#stanley pines#stan pines#mystery shack#stan eventually having to put up the employees only sign cos these yahoos keep walking into his living room#while normally i'd be acting like a feral dog over bill being in the mystery shack sign#i also know that bill wasn't decided on as the main villain until super late#oh meta knowledge spoiling my fun....#the carpet being on purpose tho cos its not in the storage room in the scene before#anyway now im just thinking about ford taking a crowbar to the sign soon after returning#i really wish there was an ep of ford reacting to the shack.... the moments in the journal isnt enough....#altho now im imagining that epilogue ep and tourists just arriving as usual cos time was stopped outside of town#and instead they find the place falling apart one confused old man and another one about to have a breakdown

so im listening to the potd audio commentary and jodie's talking about covid restrictions and filming flux and how the restrictions were more intense at the start of filming (was that end of 2020/start of 2021?) and she says "by the time we finished, we could hug" and damn they took that opportunity didnt they
#itS OnLY BeEn A dAy FoR tHe DOcToR wHY dOeS ShE hUg YaZ LikE ThAt#well maybe sometimes you havent been able to hug your friends for six months because of a pandemic have you thought about that dfhkgjhkjgh#i make myself guilty of this too tho i forget about covid all the time#or not forget im the only one in my town still wearing a fucking mask but like#i find it hard to factor in here#bc i dont know when they filmed + theres no covid in dwniverse#or you know. this part of it#but like you dont SEE anyone wearing masks and idk#in like quarantaine times you'd get these visceral reactions to crowd shots on tv right?#but personally ive lost that#i dont go into public places without a mask but everybody else does so like the visual of crowds has become nrmal again#dont think theres crowds in doctor who but like#it doesnt Register so viscerally if people are stnading close to each other#at least to me

Zonai Link au ref sheets!!!!
Basically when Link was placed in the Shrine of Resurrection the shrine's settings were set to Zonai! The Sheikah had built over the original shrine, improving upon the ancient technology left behind. Unfortunately when most of the technology was buried so was the knowledge of the shrines true capabilities.
So basically the Shrine is given an injured Hylian, but since it's settings are set to Zonai the Shrine freaks out like "Oh my goddess this zonai is absolutely fucked up 💀" and spends the next 100 years 'fixing' Link.
#art#help how do i anatomy#holly rambles#zonai shrine link au#thats whay im calling jt!!#zonai link#link totk#link botw#botw au#totk au#idk whether to tag this as totk or botw exclusively so eh. both#also the rest of hyrule is confused as shit. Link is also allowed in gerudo town because.. wtf is this?? ig they can come in??#also no one truly clocks Zonai link as the same link that died during the calamity#the only ones who sort of have an idea of who Link is are the royal zora family. and its never confirmed until totk#ONLY TO THE ZORA ROYAL FAMILY THO.#and the sheikah obvs!! even if they didnt realize the extent of the uh. shrines abilities they did know Link was to return#totk art#breath of the wild#tears of the kingdom#zonai#totk zonai#botw totk#anyway feel free to send asks about them and this au im spinning it in mt brain forever

Gideon meets Ford
Alternate version under cut, may be funnier
Ford pov: Why is this toddler with tall hair yelling at me?
(Stan forced Ford to wear one of his shirts since he stinks)
#gravity falls#gideon gleeful#stanford pines#he thinks its stan tho#of all the words he would use to describe Stan I dont think scary is even a considered option#idea born from the fact he is the only one I can remember saying Stanford as Stans full name#dont yell at the traumatised man please#runaway twins au#< this is also a canon meeting in my au#Ford is hanging around town trying to get the scoop on stan#my art

#one piece#wano arc#monkey d luffy#roronoa zoro#parallels#one piece otama#ebisu town#shimotsuki yasuie#never gonna be over this beautiful arc#like the one who loves food was fed someone's precious only available twice a year birthday/holiday rice and#the one who loves drink was given a cup of scarce precious clear non-contaminated water#they savor it they understand its value they understand what it means for the starving and the thirsty to give it to them so freely#and then they go to fight for them. and they see their oppressors carelessly waste food and drink and they are outraged outraged outraged#and dammit when they left they left wano kuni a place where everyone can eat and drink as much as they want#i think this is my favorite arc#zolu#one piece episode 894#one piece episode 923#one piece episode 1084
