#but they deserve some recognition too

still love the fact that reirei has beef with a literal teenager

they are absolute chaos, whether they're working together or against each other

the quiet whispered way Owen Wilson says 'let time pass' is actually devastating.

don't ever let anyone think he's somehow a lesser actor than Hiddleston just because he cut his teeth in Ben Stiller movies not Shakespeare. That wistful delivery gutted me every bit as much as Loki's shaky smile when he realizes what he has to do.

No one will ever understand how upset I am at how little recognition Sir Nighteye gets. You mean to tell me that you made an entire line of figures based on the Shie Hassaikai arc and you DIDN'T INCLUDE HIM?? I GOT EDGESHOT BEFORE I GOT NIGHTEYE??

Don't get me wrong, I love Edgeshot, Team Lurkers for life, but this man who was of huge narrative importance for an entire story arc, the man that helped establish what stakes the protagonist is working wit, the man that helped influence All Might even after his death GETS NOTHING. NO MERCHANDISE.

I DID NOT CRY FOR THIS BULLSHIT. OVERHAUL GETS A FIGURE BUT YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ONE OF FAT GUM INSTEAD?! MIRAI DESERVES YOUR RESPECT AND DESERVES A PRETTY LITTLE STATUE.

You ever look at your notes (because you like freling validation), and realise that the cool artist you like is screaming in your tags. You ever. You ever see The Guy That Made The Cool Thing That Has You Rolling Around On The Floor Like A Madman send you an ask, or comment on your post. This is a cry for help. How do I respond.

I love that whoever gets introduced to Sleep Token’s music and concept just becomes obsessed. Like I’ve barely seen anyone be normal about them. The influencer who introduced them to me in 2023 showed her Wrapped at the end of that year - her top 5 was all from TMBTE lol. Bearing in mind she had no interest in metal before that or other than ST! Another metal YouTuber I watch is so down bad for them - most of his vids concerning other bands are neutrally/slightly positively titled but his ST videos are titled with ‘LIFE CHANGING ALBUM’ ‘REVOLUTIONARY SHOW’ etc etc

Their music is just so insanely powerful and touching in a way I haven’t seen in a long time :,)

it's so crazy how few historical fiction novels are like sharon kay penman's. the way that they're built out of the skeleton of the historical record seems so obvious, but there's so few people who are actually willing to commit to it in the way that she did. it seems like so often that's just a starting point which gets reformed to fit a coherent narrative, but she makes no real attempt to do that. there's themes and foils and patterns, but first and foremost it is a reconstruction. you can't really know what someone who lived that long ago was like, only what they did, and you can feel how she takes these isolated, dramatic events and builds a whole life around them. the books are nothing more than an answer to the question 'what might someone have been like, what could the history between these people have been, to possibly explain something like this?' the ability to string together a handful of facts and events from medieval chronicles to create people that feel so real, and psychology and relationships that develop so naturally that these distant, seemingly impenetrable choices suddenly feel so immediate and clear is just beyond belief. you know this probably wasn't actually how things happened, but it doesn't matter because it was something like this. the particulars are less important the crushing awareness that at one point all of this made sense. there was a time when all of this was right now. the world is unrecognizable and exactly the same. that's something which sounds very simple but is incredibly difficult to accomplish.

you come to know these people so well, their loves and hatreds and ambitions and failures, and those things are rarely resolved in the end. you know them from the time that they're children, you watch each one of them die, and none of it means anything in particular except that they were a human being. things which seem like they must be building to some tragic fallout end in anticlimax. things which seem utterly inconsequential in the moment manifest again decades later in cataclysmic disaster. and then you see it all play out again from the beginning with their children, and their children's children. all these uncanny echoes, this endlessly unfolding palimpsest of lives, each laid over the triumphs and mistakes of those who came before. i've never read anything so epic with so much mastery over the micro and macro levels of history. it's the minute, seemingly inconsequential everyday details, which build into a lifetime, which builds into generation of lives, which builds into the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires. it's the merciless endlessly turning wheel of fortune that replays the same songs in different keys again and again for all time. a person is both an individual with free will, and the prisoner of their blood and circumstances. somehow everything has infinite weight, is tied to everything that has come before and will come after, is the culmination of someone's entire existence—their pains and joys and fears and hopes—and yet is simultaneously completely meaningless, just one more victim of fate in an endless procession of lives and choices. the whole impotent tragedy of humanity is laid out in front of you and it's so repulsive and beautiful. it's deep love and unfathomable, senseless horror briefly and miraculously reverberating in a vacuum, an absurd aberration fading into silence.

if it's not obvious these books have made me cry like 10 different times

Doodles from my textbook part 1✨

Introducingg Beef and Papa Haydn😻😻😻✨✨✨

1st image : left is old Beethoven and the right side is young Beethoven (draw his hair from memory lol)

2nd image : a reference of an article that Beethoven enjoyed eating fish other than Mac and cheese 🧀 :D

3rd image : Beethoven threw the beef stew is actually a reference from an article that he threw the stew to the waiter it was bc the waiter gave him the wrong order (what a child..😓). Some said that the waiter actually gave him the correct order but Beethoven thought it was wrong 🗿. Then we have Papa Haydn vibing in his own musical world while his student, Beethoven is screams in anger-

4th image [aka last image] : B I G. B R A I N. H A Y D N.

I need to write about the mess that is the Seryiils.

Mostly for myself so I can figure out exactly how bad living in that house would've been instead of the vague idea I've got about it just generally sucking

Holy fuck that was an amazing session. Kudos to @gabajoofs an absolute all time GM, @chansaw for making it to session despite the interruptions, @thottacelli for having the most hardcore possible plan for killing Zorba the Hutt. I can't wait for next session for real <3

I am telling you right fucking now if you like stuff like punk, techno, hardcore and black metal then you should listen to UNIITY because she takes inspiration from all those genres and more. I’ve literally never heard such a fucking amazing blend of genres from one artist.

Like she will go from singing to actual fucking screaming in the same song and I just love that. It’s actual perfection. I unfortunately don’t live anywhere near the US to see them live but from videos her stage presence is so fucking insane.

EXACTLY

one big thing i think people outside fandom (like, all fandoms, fandom in general, not any particular one) tend to misunderstand is they know it's a subculture of people who are weirdly deeply invested in fictional media, and they hear about drama caused by people in those subcultures being unhinged in not-fun ways, and they think the unhingedness comes from the fact of being overinvested in works of fiction.

which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes

and very often you get the same person doing 2 and sometimes even all 3 of these, and that's where the trouble really starts
