Decided to redraw that lovely Bill Cipher Circle (does it have a proper name?) to act as a cover image for my Bill Cipher playlist…

Thinking about vampires, death, life, and the space they occupy in between

[batcavescolony]

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

I'm not immune to propaganda 😔

I think the whole issue I have with Howl's character in HMC movie can be outlined in one brief sentence:

"You can't write Howl Pendragon without writing Howell Jenkins"

reading all about the white calf, love your work, can i just say. gonna put some hibrides appreciation out there because damn. nobody in this story is lucky but she in particular seems to be having a Bad Time

Yeah a lot of things suck pretty bad for her. Unwittingly in a lavender marriage, mutual dislike between her and her dogshit husband, extremely strained relationship to her former best friend/gay quasi-boyfriend/father of her children who alternates between avoiding her and desperate attempts to make her love him again, having to constantly maintain multiple levels of facade to socially protect their throuple and therefore herself, shy and socially isolated, dealing with trauma that she doesn't even begin to recognize as such because 'nothing bad actually happened', pretty sure something is deeply wrong with her, living under a damocles sword of catastrophic social consequences should her children be exposed as bastards, has discovered an unexpected and mostly unwanted pregnancy while on a months long cross-country trek, etc.

She's also someone who prides herself in being rational, put together, stoic against adversity, and not overly emotional and weak, which basically means all of this is getting suppressed and compartmentalized away like crazy.

She HAS managed to fall into a rhythm with it all and her life IS NOT constant misery and agony. But the situation she's in for the duration of the story completely tears her out of this rhythm and makes all these factors very acute (though also opens her up to new opportunities, new and more positive/differently complex relationships, and much bigger things to worry about than her domestic life).

Unrelated drawing of her struggling not to lose her shit in public (in this case trying not to laugh)

i’m still in that was what men wanted wasn’t it purgatory and will forever be slow roasting over a spit of soft helpless women they needed to protect

the nerve of this old man

why give me another part that wondered if jaime would comfort her should she weep upon his shoulder when you could just cut my heart out with a spoon which would hurt less

I love ggy so much how did they accidentally make the most intriguing hypothetical gay romance ever

[chiropterancreed]

the catherine and heathcliff of it all... destroying everyone and everything around them because their love is not the soft, gentle kind... it has teeth and comes with vengeance... it destroys their children and their families... and in the end, all they have is each other... the ghosts of each other... "he shall never know that i love him: and that, not because he is handsome, but because he's more myself than i am. whatever our souls are made out of, his and mine are the same".

So i finally got my hands on translations of both the Odysee and Iliad!!!

And despite originally caring more about the story of the Odysee i decided to read the iliad first and I'm so incredibly glad i did!

About 20 pages in and two different women are separately kidnapped and taken hostage, Agamemnon and Achilles are at each others throats, the gods are getting involved, Zeus is being himself and Apollo is spreading the plaque. 🤬

Meanwhile Odysseus is somehow on a peaceful road trip and has a sleep over with the boys after a fun karaoke night. 🥰

I met the me who made different choices

funny idea but what if the mtt (+ nightmare. feelin inclusive today) made a "book club" and nightmare's the only one that takes it seriously. for the mtt it's just a collective effort to come up with the craziest book plots ever and try to convince the others that this bs that they're yapping is a real book

nightmare is extremely confused when dust begins talking about his book called "the ribshanker" and it's a horror thriller book where this dog ends up digging through graveyards and stealing ribs to reassemble his dead mate (a big reveal was that the dog was gay) who died due to a shooting from the local bombs specialist and then the final chapter of the book ends up with the dog mauling a farmer and stealing his head. and then when the dog's dogfriend returns to life he actually returns as the sans from underdog (probably an AU out there)

and killer and horror feed into this fake ass story by adding dumb details and making the plot more confusing but it somehow makes sense in the end and nightmare is confused out of his mind. the book they chose for the book club was metamorphosis by gregor samsa what the fuck is this ribshanker shit. he has his suspicions that they're actually just making shit up when killer ends up describing a book with a plot that's a wee bit too similar to how he met nightmare

i'm rewatching gravity falls and it boggles my mind how people are still to this day misunderstand mabel's character

you know what, EVERYONE who says that mabel is to blame for starting weirdmaggedon, i have something to say to you

You are guilty of the same crime you say Mabel has committed - Escapism

"what does it have to do with us??" excuse you, if you don't have the courage to face the reality and retreat to consuming content of your favourite shows, whilst not having anything or anyone tethering you to the real world, then you are guilty

(and btw, in the light of recent info, i. e. Book of Bill and dippers nightmares, then he too, is guilty of escaping from reality to fantasy of being ford's apprentice :P)

Now Fucking Fight Me
