Back at it with my enchanted merthur shenanigans
#when Merlin goes to work#(I am undecided on what he does but I think he does have a job (probably a librarian I’d that’s not TOO cliche…))#he sets Arthur up with a bunch of history books and documentaries to try get him up to date (as much as he can)#and in the evenings they watch all Merlin’s favourite tv shows and movies#I can’t pick what kinds of movies Merlin and Arthur like#I get the feeling they both like pride and prejudice but I’m also biased#I think Arthur would like murder mysteries#ALSO If anyone’s got any fics where Merlin introduces Arthur to modern society please please PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME#my art#bbc merlin#merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur

sometimes i look at lestappen and think “wow, charles' memoir in 15 years is going to make me crazy”
#don't be shy tell me more about your strange relationship with your eternal rival#i just know that max is not going to do this he's okay with documentaries but ig he draws a line at autobiographies#but deep inside i want to be wrong and i want to read everything that he can not say rn#but also ig he mostly says everything that he thinks but CHARLES#it's absolutely different story with CHARLES#f1#formula 1#charles leclerc#lestappen#max verstappen

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast : Misano 2024 - Nature's Sprinkler Surprise
"But yeah Márquez, I mean, anybody that thought he was.. didn't have.. That he lost the skill. That he lost the hunger. That he lost the willingness to take risks. I think this two last weekend would show that he hasn't lost anything" "And talking about his physical strength you never, he never mentions it. Never never mentions it. I mean he did say, somebody did ask him how's his physical strength now compared to 2019? and he said 'well it's not as good'. But you don't really hear him says anything specific about it but on Thursday I was walking through the paddock and Márquez was riding..." "He has no weaknesses, he wants us to think he has no weakness" "Yeah. He was riding through the paddock on his scooter with his right arm, you know right hand holding the throttle, and his left arm was holding his upper arm around where it was sawed in half and he was wincing yeah? So he.. he probably thought no one was watching then but you know, that told me straight away that he's still in a lot of pain with that. But he.. There's no way he will say that because as soon as you say that people can think 'right, he's got a... there's a chink in his armor and if I keep pushing, in a fight, I can sort of get in there'. He never shows, never says anything about it but that really showed me that he probably still got a lot of pain and discomfort from that arm and it's still probably isn't as strong as it should be"
We all already know this (kind of) but yeah... kms
#I swear the only thing that can make him admit to it is retirement (as in how bad it really is)#and the subsequent documentary on the subject will probably reduce me to tears#the fact that his sheer mental strength basically counteract it is just. yeah#marc marquez#mm93#motogp

something about childhood in succession.. the way it casts its shadow over the entire narrative, the rotten root of the roy siblings’s pain, all wrapped up in Logan’s power and abuse and love. The opening credits are filled with images of them as kids, beginning every. single. episode. by emphasizing the importance of their childhood: the siblings posing for a photo, playing sports, standing on a manicured lawn, riding an elephant, etc. and then the shots of logan, in which he is always shown from behind, or far away. It is a childhood the viewer never gets to see in any other context, since there are no flashbacks in the show, and therefore as integral as it seems, we know almost nothing about it. What exactly happened? What are the details? We feel its presence, we can tell how it informs their relationships, we can put together the pieces of incomplete and contradictory memories expressed through dialogue, and if we trace their struggles and dysfunction back far enough we know it leads there, to when they were kids. But there is so much empty space we can’t fill in. It’s almost like their childhood is presented in that horror technique where you never get to see the monster clearly straight on. It’s always in darkness, and chopped up into close-ups so that the viewer’s imagination is forced to invent something, however vague, and that is far scarier than it would be if we could actually see it — a monster that is terrifying BECAUSE it’s unknown. The roy siblings’s childhood is a major force behind so much that happens on screen, but what specifically occurred is out of the reach of our understanding. We are shown the monster’s shadow but not the monster, we are shown the frightened faces of the characters as they look at something behind the camera we never get to see, we are shown the running or the fighting or the blood but never the true, bigger-picture, clear details of the horror itself
#sorry succession as horror scratches an itch in my brain and the idea of their childhood makes my brain explode <333#just!! even showing this shaky blurry footage of mundane childhood moments feels ominous to me—#it’s like. a documentary abt something awful that begins with#a ‘before’ montage of seemingly benign family life#and of course when the videos were taken they seemed meaningless. but now looking back at them we can see they mean so much#like the tragedy was woven into them right from the start#eeeeeeeeeee i need to be sedated i think#roy siblings#connor roy#kendall roy#roman roy#shiv roy#logan roy#succession#ruby (unfortunately) watches succession#succession as horror

The Zorca and their Migration Routes
Brain zoomies strike again but I wanted to add visual aid to these particular bits of story that have been running in my brain. Putting it all under a cut FOLLOW ME!
Spring: Lanayru Sea
Taking the events going on in @werewolfsister's comic, the relationship between the Domain and the Zorca have grown. Sardon, Cironus, Kaska ,and sometimes little Kaso, have become frequent visitors while their pod remains out in the bay and ocean area.
The water ways allowed Sardon and Cironus to get into all sorts of trouble when they were younger.
When they were just starting to test the limits of how far they could go from their pod, and small enough not to alarm other hyrulian races(mistaken for slightly taller zora boys) They came upon Kakariko Village by chance and during the late hours of the night raided a pumpkin patch and devoured everything. Not knowing they were the reason the present day Olkin is so protective of them. Maybe one day they can go back and make amends somehow…
The end of spring marks their next journey along with their big courting event!
Summer: Akkala Sea
As spring comes to a close, other pods start to converge in Lanayru so they can all make the trip together to Akkala. The main reason for this is for their courting event called Turning the Wheel. Which is a metaphor for life and death cycles, as well as their destination, the Rist Peninsula!
The younger zorca who are of age participate in a race to get to the end of the spiral at Rist Peninsula. But it's less about who gets there first and more about who they end up racing side by side with ("the treasure is the friends you make along the way!"). Older zorca take their time because they're socializing with old friends and previous partners. Those who participate in the game usually arrive a day earlier before the main group.
The pairings can come about unexpectedly! A zorca may hit it off with someone as they race. Or it can be planned, where partners agree to race together. There's no shame for anyone reaching the end without a partner though as they can try next season.
Non-zorca partners are allowed to participate in this event as well. Couples don't have to finish the race either, if they want to, they can break away and join the slower group, or head off together for more private entertainments. But a many enjoy reaching the end because once the entire group reaches the center of the peninsula they have their own party with food and singing to mark the start of summer!
Cironus and Sardon have played the game several times, and always reached the end solo. To avoid the matchmaking attempts by his grandmother, Sardon found a way to avoid courting by simply being faster than anyone trying to keep pace with him. Cironus enjoys the thrill of the game but no one has matched his pace either.
Once the summer of love is over its time to move on to...
Autumn: Necluda Sea
This is an especially important time for pregnant zorca! Their pregnancy can take over a year, so those who participated in last years courting event are ready for babies and need to be prepared for what's to come.
@werewolfsister's Domain of the Sunken Garden is located between the South East coast of Hyrule and Eventide Island. The Zorca have done gift exchanges with Oley and Tajin since the zorca themselves cannot reach the depths of their home.
Somewhere south of Eventide Island is where the Zorca perform their burial rites. When an individual passes, no matter the season, the pod travels to these waters to lay them down to rest in a whale fall event.
When the temperature shifts, and due dates are getting nearer its time to head on...
Winter: Faron Sea
Faron Sea is where the Zorca go to have their babies! Every baby born is a precious addition to their pod since the Zorca are so few in number. New and experienced mothers work over time with hunting and everyone else pitches in to help care for the little ones. The nursery is closely guarded, and anyone who doesn't have business there sticks around in the open waters.
Because the villagers of Lurelin fish in the same waters, the Zorca offer their assistance in any way they can, by helping them catch fish or chasing off monsters!
When spring rolls around again, they say goodbye to their friendly neighbors, and the newborns are strong enough to make the trip back to Lanayru to begin the seasons all over again.
#my art#zora oc#breath of the wild#tears of the kingdom#legend of zelda#ahhh this was fun to do but took me forever to get everything done BUT HERE IT IS#i hope I can do more of this stuff its like making a documentary of my characters

I used to always leave a comment on a fic if I saw anything about my interests not being accurately described, but thanks to SVSSS, now whenever I get the urge to correct someone the face of Shen Yuan pops into my head like a ghost of Christmas Past and I avoid being the insufferable "Uuuum.... actually!!" Guy.
#I just CAN'T be him#I can't be such a loser I refuse#I just imagine Shen Yuan typing the complain I want to type and become so immediately put off by it that I refrain from saying shit#Noo I don't mind if your description of my interests isn't accurate what do you mean I can totally have some fun without it bothering me#I can just see him being like “UM ACTUALLY that type of train wouldn't actually exist yet!!”#“What are you dumb? No off course that's not how a typewriter works!! have you done no research at all??”#“Have you even HEARD of what an art student studies? Have you even SEEN a photography student in your life or even HELD a camera??”#“OBVIOUSLY you haven't worked in a coffe shop a day in your life how come they aren't cleaning the machines yet? it's almost closing hours!”#“NEXT TIME you decide to do an actors au do yourself a favor and AT LEAST WATCH a documentary about how a movie set works please”#I don't know why I started with the nichest interests I have never even seen a fanfic mention trains before#but the other aus are so common in fandom I just have to accept I'll never be free from them#but I can't even say shit because before actually working at a cafe I didn't know shit about it either so...#thanks Shen Yuan for being cringe#svsss#shen yuan

as a baby butch i really appreciate your blog,, i feel so lost sometimes esp as a black butch as i haven't seen many sources on other studs,, so just having these lists is really awesome :)
Hey, thanks so much for reaching out, lovely to hear from you! I'm glad the lists are helping you, honestly that's everything I could have hoped for. Unfortunately, I have also found that it's strangely difficult to find material on black butches and studs ... but I am on the hunt nevertheless! As of the past two weeks a few more black lesbian anthologies have arrived and I have a few more lined up that I hope to procure soon--all this to say that I hope to present more material to you that suits your interests in the days & weeks to come. I hope we both can find good stuff for you. :)
(Which, speaking of ... if ANYONE out there happens to know where the treasure trove of black butches & stud lore is, I would happily trade my best cheesecake and/or cookie recipes for this knowledge. I can also provide manual labor and cleaning services.)
#questions for the archivist#the archivist answers#i have also found a couple short documentaries that have black lesbians/studs in it but it doesn't go enough into stud culture and history#i would say anyways#there's also the 2005 film the aggressives that i have heard good things about but haven't watched myself yet#i have found one book specifically published by a stud but it was published in 2023 and also appears very informal#which definitely isn't a bad thing but as a person who always wants to find citations so i can find MORE books ... i fear this local legend#may not help me find the pot of gold at the end of the black rainbow#thankfully i am nosy as fuck#i will get to the bottom of this come hell or high water!

My desire to support a Biblical sitcom done in a respectful way vs. my hatred of the mockumentary style, FIGHT!
#it's a great thing i queued that post about 'the promised land'#because it did remind me to watch it#as a mashup of exodus and the office it's pretty brilliantly done#starting it in exactly the right place to set up the 'coworkers trying to keep this thing running' format#unfortunately it matched the style so well that it reminded me of all the reasons i hate 'the office'#it managed to overcome my suspension of disbelief in a way this style usually doesn't#because of course the israelites didn't have cameras so the documentary crew sits nicely in the realm of absurdity#but everything else about the office is not my sense of humor at all#the seven seconds of awkward silence after every single joke#the deadened soundscape that sucks the very life out of your soul#the way everyone speaks with the same inflections and tone in a very narrow emotional band#and everything is so understated as to erase almost all personality#no one is clever or witty#there is no banter no frenzy no outsized personalities#just everyone existing in this narrow band of faint absurdity#and the thing is i do like these characters!#joshua is adorable!#zipporah is darling#miriam is...kind of off-putting but i'll go with it#the egyptian is a brilliant concept#the moments of earnestness made me really feel for these people#but the question is if my interest in them can overcome my distate for this style#but great news: if you love the office this will be great for you

the paul is dead theory is so funny bc I'm always just like. it was the coke. the magical answer you're looking for is cocaine. but also it's infinitely funnier to imagine him getting replaced by his campy lookalike after dying so I'll always believe in faul
#it was my intro to the beatles btw my older sister showed me a paul is dead documentary when I was 11#and I went down a research rabbit hole and came out the other side watching ahdn and going insane about the bathtub scene#it was downhill from there as we can see
