The needle and syringe is a phallic object, re-animation is penetration, and the reagent, created by a gay trans man, is… no I shan’t say it.
#no wonder he has to resurrect (resERECT) every corpse he comes across#he can’t be intimate with living humans#he has to use corpses as proxies#and he can’t penetrate them ‘naturally’ so he uses modern medicine to defy god and create a way to do so#he can’t asset his masculinity physically through athleticism or sex so he must do it intellectually by being the smartest man in the room#ego competition#god and the corpses are always men too#except for the bride which he feels paternalistic over#and only because he made her and views her as superior#god I’m fucking#herbert west#screaming biting etc#re animator

Well folks, here it is. The final result.
And the Markiplier sexyman goes to Dark! Our edgy man who’s been with us since good old 2013.
Thank you guys all so much to everyone who participated. This has truly been a really fun experience. Who knows? Maybe I’ll bring it back for next year? Only time can tell.
Once again, thank you guys so much. Have a great rest of your night!
Oh, and also @markiplier we were always right. The data doesn’t lie.

I suddenly groked why Childe's friendship with the Traveler is important to me. It makes him look more inhuman.
Same with his attachments in general. It all looks so sweet on the surface but this is *not* how humans handle attachments.
Humans are awkward, and afraid to admit they like someone, and they want reciprocity, and they are careful about how a new person will affect their life. They are very cautious about placing their trust in someone even if they like them. They often lie for the sake of maintaining the relationship.
And then there's this guy who loudly declares you a friend the moment he starts liking you enough, expects nothing in return and seems to trust almost blindly (personally, I think it's calculated risk rather than that, but it still removes the usual weight of trusting someone). Who is honest and straightforward in ways that don't really benefit him. And it's not exactly hero worship (he has that towards Skirk and Capitano and we know it looks differently), he just sees someone like himself in the main character.
His other relationships (siblings and Her Majesty) could have been interpreted in multiple ways but his attachment to the Traveler establishes those as genuine and more on the warm side too.
(and more weird)
We also get reminded that he isn't nice even when he likes a person, he still has his weird ideals and obligations and doesn't compromise on those.
If he was a brooding loner or someone more sociopathic in his approach it would be too easy to clock him as a traumatised kid or at least a flawed human. The way he relates to the Traveler very clearly establishes him as more than that.
I've also seen takes on how he doesn't really love his siblings, he just wants to be the best in everything and that includes being the best older brother. That would be awfully human, too, I think.
It's a subtle distinction, fae beings can be obsessed with beauty and perfection but not with being the best. A desire to be the best is a narcissistic dynamic, it's painfully human and rooted in insecurity.
(he says and shows multiple times how he doesn't seek narcissistic fuel at all, even on an average human level. he seeks improvement but doesn't really care about winning or impressing other people
he's also committed to doing the best he can without being worried about perfection in the current moment)
He loves them dearly and he's doing what's best for them as he understands it, but it doesn't matter whether they love him or whether anyone else including them thinks he's a good brother.
So we once again get a lovely paradox with him. Everything is the opposite of what it seems.
Could be read as a different form of trauma or just arrogance, of course, but also it connects him to other Abyssal beings (Elynas, Durin, Caribert to an extent too. one could say Enjou as well). Horrors of Teyvat love with no reservations but also it doesn't mean what you think it means.
#childe#tartaglia#it's what gives him that weird innocent vibe#the same that elynas has#zero narcissistic dynamics#despite what can be read as boring human narcissistic behaviour if you only look at the surface#he has a huge ego but for other reasons#in contrast with that his competitiveness and arrogance are human traits#you can see that other abyssal beings don't have those#I think I need to rewrite the 3rd chapter of my fic completely#he's too human there#and he isn't supposed to be

Sherlock and House crossover AU
Sherlock: I switched John’s phone language to Icelandic. He’s been trying to translate texts with Google for the last two hours.
House: I changed Wilson’s ringtone to the sound of a cardiac monitor flatlining. He nearly had a heart attack.
Sherlock: Efficient and thematic.
House: I aim to please.
John (to Wilson): We could just... ignore them?
Wilson: Ignoring them only makes them try harder.

we need more speech and debate au fics. oh sports au? how about the sport of the mind. this is peak academic rivals to lovers. how about competing against your years-long rival in every tournament where your job is to prove how wrong they are in a 5 min speech? the tension. yes lay out your arguments and then watch as i refute them all and then make out with me
#like you can’t tell me speech and debate doesn’t have SO much potential#there’s competition there’s academia there’s teamwork there’s rivalry there’s awards and ego#it’s everything sports aus have but you’re fighting with your minds and your intelligence and your carefully calculated arguments#i just need one ex speech and debate kid to second me on this#speech and debate#fic writing#fics#au#sports au#speech and debate au#marauders#jegulus#cause when i thought of this i thought of rivals to lovers jegulus

Valencia 2013: Marc Marquez is asked about his best victory that year as well as about Valentino Rossi's season
#brr brr#idol tag#//#big element of marc's 2015 head loss is that my man did not expect he'd be losing to valentino over the course of a full season#'we can say that he's fighting' bud thought vale had a terminal case of being washed#him and everyone else!! and it's kinda a different dynamic right like it's lovely to have your idol paying attention to you but!!#he's not the main competition and you're beating him 9/10 times. flattering and fun and he's super nice about it too <3#but then you get to 2015 and vale's drawing back because he's in Title Fight Mode and marc's suddenly having his own ego crisis#which is how you get him massively failing the cool girl test in assen. one thing to be learning from your idol#it's quite another for him to teach you a lesson

this tree from my new drawing looking goated afffffff 👑👑
#yes this is a nel/vas drawing get off me😂#text#i wanted everyone to see it but also since i draw on paper in total silence i think a lot about everything so i wanted to voice some -#- thoughts too's. tbh i've been veeery self indulgent lately#actually i'm happy that n*lv*s is getting actual hits out of me that i like looking at#especially on-paper stuff that i can recall being fun for me to draw. all traditional art is fun to draw#and digital has turned into an actual task for me (only sometimes tho maybe i;m lying.. mspaint we're still bffs)#i think i just don't see the joy in trying to scrap up a ''' finished ''' piece in an art program .. pencil i love you and i love the -#- feeling of it scratching along the paper....sigh............ Rabu#i don't want my blog or thoughts to turn into traditional art suck-off ventures bc ik not everyone can get into it for many possible -#- reasons but if u feel like it U can ok? do it for Pencil✏️ and for me? for silusvesuius? 𝖎 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚#but Lord i hope i don't also come off as one of those people that r like 'to improve in art just draw that one fictional character u -#- rly like 😂😂' bruh gtfo my face with that.#i'm noticing 'improvement' in my stuff mainly...i think... because i'm always striving to impress#not so much other people that are here just for my art but more so myself#i have a very huge ego (Mind Battle)#also it makes me sad to think about how big egos or genuine (not obnoxious) flauntiness are looked down on#and i can tell bc i used to look down on people that would express the things i'm expressing now#especially in art focused spaces. now i'd rather be in a circle of artists that love to J*rk off their own brain for it's ideas -#-and talent than be w/ very self-conscious artists that are never expressing pride about any of their work#worse if it's to the point where they actively start to fish for compliments bc of it#fishing for compliments is always OK i just wish it didn't stem from insecurity in that context if that makes sense#but maybe that's very easy for me to say and admit bc i did develop a very big ego around my art and ... Creativity? like it's a sims skill#not that i still don't seek out 'attention' or compliments from others to soothe myself but hmmmmmm i hope u feel me.#it just turns me into a very competitive person#who am i competing with? Myself#i'm always in 'you can do better Because you're YOU' mode#which is much better i believe than comparing yourself 2 other artists#i don't think a lot of people read my tag ramblings but if u do i wonder how one feels about a very pompous artist#like me .......(?)

Actually obsessed with the idea of Jin Ling trying to teach Lan Sizhui archery and getting smug as hell because he finally found something Lan Sizhui isn’t an instant prodigy at but at the same time, he sees how determined Lan Sizhui is to learn it and can’t help but love teaching him and wanting to see him succeed so they can hunt together
#also how cool it would be because LSZ is a wen#and would’ve probably learned archery from wen ning if things were different#and i guess he technically still could but#i just think it would be so cute to let jin Ling have his ‘teacher’ moment ahahaha#B A B I E S#apple babble 🍎#jin ling#lan sizhui#mdzs#not gonna overtag bc these are just rambles#and also probably fic musings because????#this would actually make such a cute fic oop ✨🏹💛#fic ideas#you just know JL being better than LSZ at something is gonna fuel his ego in the funniest way LOL#competitive baby but also cares about his friends#and would finally have someone to practice and hunt with who wouldn’t pick on him 🥺#and yes i’m aware the Lans probably learn archery to an extent#but it’s obviously JL’s forté

Not to be weird or anything but...there was admittedly a time where I've doubted a lot of your takes on Salem, the direction of the story, etc. Scoffed at them, even. But V9 has really led me to reevaluate RWBY in more ways than one with unreliable narration literally being a core function of it's narrative, and reading your analysis and meta has helped deepen my own appreciation towards the show than ever before. And dare I say it, I think I'm a Salem Truther now jsshjshjshshj So all of this to say I'm glad you're a part of this community, genuinely. And I'm always eager to hear your thoughts on the show and on storytelling as a fic writer. I'm not entirely sure what possessed me to write this ask now, but it's something I've been meaning to say for a good while, lol
<3
jrhdfgj the salem truther situation has been really kind of wild because frankly i spent like two years going “no… there’s no way… i am reading into small details and hanging MASSIVE assumptions on a grammatical quibble… there’s no fucking way.” i was so prepared to be let down by volume nine.
’cause the thing is, like, this is what i do. right. points at my blog header. that little gremlin has all the characterization of a soggy scrap of tissue paper in canon and i made a salem out of her. give me an evil witch and i will invent a salem out of whole cloth if i have to, every time. like. i won’t argue it’s textual when it isn’t but i will write the elaborate au about her in my head if nothing else.
this is My Thing.
salem’s the first time i’ve ever felt like. i hadn’t gotten any further than “oh yeah i’m going to be so normal about her once i finish digesting i can tell” before the lost fable slapped me with the richly interesting emotionally complicated tragic backstory i normally have to make up myself and i was like… excuse me?? and then the next episode was the bait-and-switch “villain mauls the messenger except no she doesn’t and when she loses her temper she sends everyone out of the room before exploding the windows” scene and i was like IS THAT ALLOWED.
this has never happened to me before!!!
so it has been. uh. WHACK to get v9 going okay here’s every expectation you had met and surpassed. grbfxhk there was one point when v9 was first airing while i watched an episode—can’t remember which—and pulled the gf over to go “i am right. about everything?!” because it was so shocking to me.
i was so ready to be like [sighs] ah well, there’s always time does this. and then enjoy the rest of the story for what it was. jrhfhfjdks what do you MEAN they’re writing it for ME
thrilling!! still shocking!! the salem screeds will continue until morale improves 😊
#the downside is i am very competitive#and my ego is very big. brhfjfhdk#SORRY for gloating. it will happen again

Do u think John never talked about Arthur’s sickness in front of him out of respect for Arthur’s feelings?
#maybe he didnt wanna piss off Arthur for showing he cares#idk if u get it but i do#its hard to explain#its ig an ego thing#for Arthur#it just seems that way to me#the big and strong arthur becoming weak and frail day by day#when u r in the position u certainly don’t want ur rival to comment on it#rival bc both john and arthur competitive#maybe im thinking too much into it#morston#john marston#arthur morgan#red dead redemption 2
