Insane that there was ever a take that Rapunzel is a ditz, i’m speaking more so on the Tangeled the Series side of the Tangled fandom of course, but even in the movie Rapzunzel has never done anything to display… lack of ingenuity or intelligence…
she was inexperienced at most and of course she is she was trapped in a tower since birth (?? or at least the movie wants you to believe so but that baby was wide eyed n lively so they’re not really selling me on that..)
that also ties into another complaint i have about people saying Eugene simply having romantic feelings towards Rapunzel is predatory and then backing it up by saying it’s because of Rapunzel’s innocence doesn’t add up to me because she’s not stupid? She didn’t fall for the smolder, she threatens to use the frying pan on Eugene when he starts getting suspicious and SHE VERY CLEARLY LIKED HIM TOO Eugene didn’t take advantage of the situation in anyway and it feels like another way to argue that Rapunzel has no self preservation skills when she absoLUTELY does. QUEEN TOOK ACTION WHEN TROUBLE WENT DOWN.
think about how the movie was a day long and she already figured out how to defend herself, properly interrogated Euguene, was NOT scared to talk down a whole bar of thugs and talked Gothel into letting her heal Eugene and that ended up saving her life.
Rapunzel has NEVER been depicted as empty-headed, she read stacks books every day of her life- GIRL SHE CHARTED STARS IN A TOWER!! WITH A BUNCH OF PAINTS!!!
Rapunzel did more than yall ever did in quarantine give my homegirl credit.
#im not usually a tangled poster but i had a moment of passion you see#the MOST stupidity she had was the whole Cass incident and i blame that entirely on the writers.#dark days that last season was.#tangled#rapunzel#tangled the movie#tangled the series#rapunzels tangled adventure#tts#tts rapunzel#rta#rta rapunzel

IDK if I'm phrasing this correctly, but in my brain, Vasco is, like, the personification (caninification?) of an afternoon chilling on a back porch swing.
.
#ah#that's adorable#I can totally imagine him doing that#answered#anonymous#Vasco#to me he usually conjures the feeling of being warmed by sunlight#winters in northern Finland where I'm from tend to be pretty rough at least for me they are#they last about six months or so#sun starts to set earlier and earlier until it gets dark before 2 pm#in december the sun barely rises at all it's like this brief moment of twilight at noon between two 22+ hour nights#it gets harder to wake up in the morning and your energy levels plummet you go into battery saving mode#polar night messes up your brain seasonal depression gets really bad#and the cold and dark goes on and on and you feel like you'll never feel warm or happy or properly awake again#but eventually it starts to veer towards spring and on one day you notice that the sun is shining??!?!#not like bleakly and weakly but proper sunlight with warm hue and capability to actually warm the things it touches#you've forgotten what it looks like when it's truly light outside#and it's the craziest feeling to see bright natural light it blinds you and pierces right through into your very core#being kissed by the sun for the first time in months feels unreal it feels SO GOOD#I don't know it's probably not that big of a deal for people around me#but I personally react to things like changes in temperature and the amount of daylight pretty massively#I like to think that Vasco is a first ray of sunlight hitting you after you've spent what feels like an eternity in someplace cold and dark

When I suggest Mike’s arc is in part a queer coming of age story and not just him being some prize to help El or Will defeat the big bad—
Angry anons:
#byler#mike wheeler#I’m sorry but you don’t turn off your protagonists pov and expect to get away with it#you do it to hide something and save it for the end#if mikes arc ends with I love you will or them just having feelings for each other#all that does is equate to El and Mike’s love saving the day#it’s more than compatibility or lack there of#it’s the fucking 80s and their queer okay#let’s wake up and smell the roses#s5 is going to be rated m it’s going to be dark#everyone is going to reach their limits#if you think mikes limits are that he’s insecure bc he can’t save everyone and what will resolve that is him saving someone…#and that’s it…#what…?#that’s not… that’s not worthy of confusing your audience the entire show and especially the last two seasons#there needs to be something to make all those moments in previous seasons feel more impactful#and Mike and Will both assuming their alone in going crazy in the 80s#only to find out they’re not#but that they’re actually going crazy together#that’s a slow burn worth waiting until the end for#slow burn is about slowly burning#that’s what they’ve been doing for the last 4 seasons#I don’t get making their end look identical to milkvans by just recycling their scenes in the last season#the whole point of milkvan is to show what not to do#so anything that happened between them#we can pretty much rule out for byler#the truth is a lot more complex than what s4 presented#if it was really as simple as presented#s5 would offer no surprises#it would just fall flat

Last line challenge
rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).
I was tagged by @loverboy-havocboy (twice, too, wow!) @cocotter @chiliger and reverse imo card’ed by @insertmeaningfulusername and @bilbosmom-belladonna too ❤️ (I think, it’s been a hot minute? If someone else has tagged me too please excuse the tardiness ^^;)
I’m not sure how many of you will enjoy this but -
- I think I kind of popped off here! Which is awesome considering how long it’s been since I took the time to paint stuff. However, on the con side I will now have to match the entire picture to this level of detail and texture, whereas I’d thought I was almost done with the characters lol
Tagging with no pressure, just the weight of my own curiosity: @lesquatrechevrons @ominouspuff @frostbitebakery @whiskygoldwings @lionsaint and YOU. You’re it too!
#my art#last line challenge#my wips#tentacles#I can do all the background how about someone else paints the characters for me please?#lt is now confirmed I’m only working on this piece for the background elements#it’s still mermay for a few more days I’m not sitting on this until next Halloween#half tentacle monster maul totally counts for the season#Lol just noticed how dark it is actually#Oh well it's dark and underwater that's kind of the point XD

Considering Uhtred and Hild are friendship goals, it's insane thinking that before they knew each other, he was perfectly content to let her be raped and murdered by Danes.
She's one of the most important women people in his life and he (and Leofric) was really just going to sit in that roof and ignore her violation going on downstairs. She would have died in that house, on that day and the entire trajectory of his life would have been completely changed.
#dark I know#but i haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day#thank the gods for iseult#the last kingdom#tlk#uhtred#hild#iseult#leofric#tlk season 1

Aldhelm and Edward | The Last Kingdom 4.10
I swear the post production team for this season had a contest to see who could make this show as dark as possible, and screw up the color grading the worst. Top is my edit, with color correction, exposure correction, brightness, and saturation. Bottom is raw screenshot.
Like, someone was paid to do this. I know it did not come off the camera looking like that. Blows my mind.
#lord-aldhelm edits#the last kingdom#my screencaps#why is everything so GREEN#and so DARK!#This scene takes place in the middle of the day forchristsake#tlk season 4#4.10#james northcote#edward the elder#timothy innes

Sometimes I imagine yttd winx AU because each time someone is sacrificing themselves they don't die. They get enchantix and beat their enemies up.
Oh, Miley, you wanted to twist the knife when Sara grieves? Well, Joe is not dead for long. He's getting reincarnated, his spilled blood is now fairy dust that will dispell your strongest magic
Oh, Gashu, you wanted to kill Nao so badly? Did you really think metal press would do her in? It's her beautiful corset now and she's going straight for you
Oh, Midori, you think Sara's incapable of sacrifice, so she's never getting enchantix aka Bloom? Guess again, she saved Gin/Keiji/Joe/whoever she likes. With that power you're going down
And like this everyone obtains enchantix. And defeats Asunaro. Happy end
#your turn to die#joe tazuna#nao egokoro#sara chidouin#It could be interesting AU. Some absolutely unorganized ideas:#All original participants are connected by Asunaro mark (akin to Valtor's mark) and have to fight for survival#But once someone dies their power goes to all other people. Thus the last one standing has immense power#But there's transformation “Asunarix” when they become who they wanted to be. It's them going back to life#with some details showing their sacrifice wasn't easy. For example Kanna's covered in roses and thorns. Or Q-taro's clothes have fire desig#Some people are students (both fairies and witches) some are professors. Alice is prisoner in that one monastery#Dummies are like pixies with their red string of fate but they can be reincarnated if they kill their partner#There's super accurate prophecy about percentages#Sara can become her ultimate self like Bloom “became” dark in season 2#Maybe one day I'll think about this AU more thoughtfully because right now my ideas are contradictory#I wish there was some fanart of such crossover

i think solaris has nearly gotten herself 'fired' for a myriad of different reasons- with plenty of her personal offenses being what zor would consider severely insubordinate. but i think the stupidest thing she was almost nearly punished for was getting into a vicious debate with the doctor because they had the gall to assume dark chocolate was better than milk
#ieytd#commander solaris#dr zor#i'll tag them too what the hell#headcanons#a stupid one but one i'm incredibly passionate about#patriotism is only funny when solaris does it#i saw a post a couple months ago maybe saying how solaris would prefer dark chocolate. WRONG. sorry but youre WRONG#switzerland literally INVENTED milk chocolate. she's scarfing that shit down like its her last meal before she gets executed dawg. sorry.#i think she's incredibly pretentious about chocolate. i think she gets it imported from home because it sucks everywhere else.#her One snobbish behavior#yes i am thinking abt this because valentines day is coming up no i don't want to talk abt it#i have other seasonal solaris stuff coming up in the future probably maybe#also yes by 'punished' and 'fired' i do mean brutally murdered. i think zor would have murdered solaris over the grave chocolate offense#were she not still of use to zoraxis at the time. they're that kind of guy to me

just a guy with his candles
#my art#my doodles#this one is at least a couple of months old#pretty sure i drew it back when this whole let’s destroy ukraine’s infrastructure thing just started#when we were sitting in the dark for hours and#on one memorable occasion for days#with candles and phone lighters#and without scheduled disconnection from the energy system like we have now#time seems to slow down in a weird way#makes you think about how much slower the pace of life used to be#anyway i did always like that scene in the 2 season with alfred and candles#was not in the mood to post back then#but the colours are pretty fun so it goes here and not in the bin#the last kingdom#tlk#tlk alfred

i hate canadian winter so much someone kill me
#my floors are cold as fuck i've literally been in bed all day just because i can't bring myself to put my feet on the floor#it's dark at like 4pm#i can't go anywhere or do anything because the roads and sidewalks are a beautiful mix of black ice and slippery compacted snow#the wind broke a giant branch off my tree last night and woke me up#seasonal depression is stabbing me repeatedly in the chest#i resent the decision my family made to move here im not built for this

31 Days of Horror Movies (?/31)
I WANT TO DEDICATE WAY TOO MUCH TIME TO HORROR, FUCK YOUR MOVIES, LET'S TALK TV
Okay, I know I said horror movies, but media would have been over-reaching (I'm not talking about video games or books, though do check out the Shining, it's amazing). And I'm not sure if there's any word that encompasses both movie and tv. (Watch, one of you assholes (affectionate) will tell me within 5 mins of me posting this.) But, I'm going to list some tv anyway, because it's my list and you can't stop me.
Inside No. 9: An anthology series in which each episode is a self-contained story and the genres range from drama to comedy to dark comedy to horror to black comedy. ... As with any other anthology that exists, there are going to be episodes you love, episodes you hate, and episodes that fall everywhere in-between. Most of the eps, for me, fall at least into the "like" category which is how it made this list. With only 6 eps per season and 2 specials, with each ep running 30 mins, for a tv show it's not a huge time commitment.
American Horror Story: Asylum: The second season of AHS follows the stories of "patients" and staff at an asylum in 1964. ... I made myself go with only one season of AHS and it was a no brainer that it'd be this one. The writers had really hit their stride with this one but weren't yet bogged down by all that had come before it (which was only one season). The characters are some of the best characters that have ever been written or acted in the series and the stories are some if its tightest. It's worth noting, though, that AHS is infamous for, as I put it, throwing everything including the kitchen sink into a story and this season is no exception.
The Haunting of Hill House: A fractured family confronts haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it. ... If there's one show that you decide to give a try, this is the show you should watch. Some of the tightest writing I've ever experienced, amazingly acted, absolutely gorgeous character work, and the sixth episode, Two Storms, to this day takes my breath away. Definitely top 5 best tv shows I've ever watched. There is also another series from the same writer, The Haunting of Bly Manor, which is nowhere near as good but as some really amazing moments.
The Last of Us: A man must help a young teen girl get across a fungal-zombie filled United States. ... Man, if you'd told me that there'd be a zombie tv series on this list before I watched this series, I would have raised a very skeptical eyebrow at you. I tend to find zombies somewhat boring, all the survivors are always depressingly horrible to each other, and a tv show is long form which means that these two things are usually drawn out awfully long. But this show does it all right. The writing is amazingly tight, the character and relationships are great, the emotions are there and feel real and meaningful, and my only major complaint is a grudging one because this show is literally so well-written there's no way to change it without ruining the tightness of the script. So, insert "I guess" meme here.
#geeky talks#yeah i know that i put both dark comedy and black comedy when describing inside no 9#they are related but very different types of comedy#like the very first ep of the show is something that i would definitely call black comedy not dark comedy#if you're interested in other seasons of ahs#i'd recommend murder house (the first season)#and if you like found footage then raonoke (sxith season)#i wish i could recommend tales from the crypt#but besides the amazing practical effects#there's not really much to recommend from the show#the fact that the last of us is so good and is also based on a video game#which let's face it are notorious for putting out bad adaptations#is just cherry on top of the already damn delicious cake#31 days of horror recs

Got called mopy and moody and an overall killjoy for not enjoying the one (1) party experience I had in February of last year cuz I kept getting left alone at a party so I just sat and had nachos 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
#it all started cuz I am still confused on what we’re doing for this weekend cuz bestie here isn’t articulating clearly#I ask about Halloween and she says they’re going to the club cuz no one goes on a Tuesday#I wouldn’t know I’ve never gone to one since I don’t ever wanna go alone and no one asks#then she said it’s for a friend’s birthday AFTER I asked if we should take the birthday girl out to a rage room or axe throwing cuz the bday#bday girl had shown interest in it before but it got shut down fast#by this point I still don’t know what club they wanna go to let alone what day but I do get told that since I tire out faster then them#that I’ll have to go home alone and that is just raining alarms in my head cuz I’m guessing it’s in Toronto and they’ve turned into Gotham#it’s such a shit show during the day so I know it’s gonna be worse at night with the cover of darkness#and did she not hear of that story of these 2 girls who nearly got TRAFFICKED BY THEIR UBER???and she wants me to use one alone??#in toronto???? bro I ain’t risking shit for some place I don’t know the name or address for#and says that she’s been clear this whole time on what’s going on and doesn’t want a repeat of last time#when idk if it’s just me but the only clear thing here is that I’m not really wanted for the night out#cuz clear would be saying where and when and also who and how which I never got any of that but she keeps saying she did tell me but didn’t#the first written convo was just her asking the birthday girl if they should dress up as tiana and Belle#and I ask if they’re gonna wear gowns cuz it’s gonna be cold out#all she says is we’ll be inside and when I ask I get no answer just more costume suggestions the next day#the second time it’s breathed is when we’re on the phone and I ask about what we doing for Halloween#she says that we’re clubbing and I ask if we ain’t doing anything else like the seasonal shit we can’t do any other time#she just says no and tells me I can stay home after I suggest a few things and she calls them childish#like going to a haunted corn maze or the Halloween event at casa loma cuz yes getting spooked is childish#I even threw in axe throwing cuz bday girl has been stressed and thought she might like it#then today I ask if I should go up for the weekend cuz idk wtf is going on still and it’s been almost 2 weeks and there’s a mini argument in#the group chat with her saying the same 2 things. we clubbing and you’ll have to go home alone#birthday girl is just as confused on who’s going but says that on Friday we can go to a movie and dinner so I’m not left out#so at least I get somewhat of an answer on if going up is worth it or if I’m getting ditched the whole weekend#so at least if I’m going back up I can make plans to hang out with her brother and whoever else wants to hang#idk maybe see a movie or go to the mall or something#like shit at least give me all the info to decide if I wanna go especially music cuz that first and last party did not have good music tbh#I know if at least enjoy myself at a 90’s/2000’s party cuz I like that but nope I don’t even get that#just club or bust essentially :/ and it seems I be bust by what she said

has any body else had a time in their life where they had excruciating chronic pain and now its better but you barely remember anything from that entire year
#its so depressing i dont realize how bad it is until i rewatch shows and im basically experiencing it for the first time#someone asked about my experience with byler and when i thought it would happen and i didnt remember so i opened this app#called daylio where ive written about my days every day for like 5 years and i went to see my reaction for st3#and i couldnt even watch the last two episodes the day it came out because the strobe in the hospital scene hurt my head so bad#i dont remember that i thought i watched it all in one day#and i cant get over what my friend said about dark a (show ive always said was my all time favorite) she mentioned something so fucking huge#and i have no recollection of that at ALL#and its from the season that came out when the migraines#were at its worst#when i think about 2019 the first thing i think about is this one day i went to a drag show and thats only because it was the first day in#like 6 months where i wasnt in pain#thats the only day i remember i dont remember fucking anything else#i took a screenwriting class i KNOW i wrote two screenplays but i could not fucking tell you what either of them were about#i had a major surgery and i barely fucking remember recovering from that at all#i dont fuckign remember anything its all gone
