I think movie buff Duke Thomas should force Jason to watch the LOTR movies and literature nerd Jason Todd should force Duke to read the books.
They should make a movie night out of it and then a weekly book club that's really just Jason periodically hacking comms during Duke's patrol so he can yell at him to finish each chapter like a deranged English teacher that follows you around at work. And then they should get into heated arguments about Tom Bombadil; and Duke should get really invested in overanalyzing all the poetry in the book trilogy; and Jason should rewatch all three movies like seven times at least so he can scribble thoughts into the margins of his paperback copies, write dissertations in his head about the effectiveness of different story changes, and cry at Sam's "But I can carry you!" without having to stop reading.
And then they should repeat all of this with The Hobbit. They're both a little psychotic about it and the rest of the family is tired.
#added the tags and more stuff to a reblog!#genuinely I think tom bombadil would frustrate the fuck out of duke#that boy loves the thrill of discovery and putting all the puzzle pieces together and tom bombadil is unsolvable#and I think jason would resonate a lot more with the movie ending than with the book ending#coming home from a life-changing journey to find that everything has stayed the same#like that would hit different for him than the scouring of the shire#duke thomas#jason todd#signal dc#signal#red hood#batfam#batfamily#jason also tries to get duke to read the silmarillion AND beren and luthien#“but you said beren and whatever is already in the other one!”#“that's just one version you need to read all of them for the full experience!”#“NO”#“YES”#EDIT: I've decided that duke and jason have a tom bombadil murder board#it's got cutouts of book lines and Tolkien quotes and artwork and written snapshots of Tolkien's history#all connected with color-coded string and littered with sticky notes and scattered scribbles#some parts are highlighted#it takes up two sides of a whiteboard in the batcave and a whole wall in one of jason's safehouses#one of the other batfamily members sees the safehouse version once and wisely does not comment#duke and jason can go on about this shit for hours and as soon as you get one going the other will materialize and cause problems#but anyway#duke and jason the brothers ever

will there be a space for my soul in space?
#art#artists on tumblr#music#furry#sfw furry#oc // fang#car seat headrest#csh#furry art#my ocs#starlingfawn's art#getting really attached to this dude.#this was originally going to be a fully rendered piece but i gave up halfway through and i was just going to post the sketch#with rough colors on my alt but then i messed around with the piece and painted lines over the sketch and i honestly love how it turned out#btw !! this is the second time i've drawn something to the lyrics of this song. expect this to happen even more times#i have never connected to an art piece so much. it's rapidly becoming my all time fav song#it's not even a “waow!! literally me!!” kinda situations it's genuenly worrying how heavily i relate to every lyric and how#some parts of the song have very literally. changed how i view my own existence#i can't do this song justice in 3 lines but explaining the whole thing would require a lot of personal stuff#a song has never made me question everything so hard. a song has never handed me my feelings in a neat little 14 minute package and told#me “hey!!! deal with this!!!! these are emotions you didn't even know you still held onto until right now!!”#yeahh....#anyways today hasn't felt real wdym death grips broke up.

I guess you could say we believe it *because it’s impossible*.
Alt text: Frames from the finale of Revolutionary Girl Utena with overlaid text.
1: Prince Dios lounges on the ground, looking disinterested. Text reads: YOU — "They think their success is a given."
2: The same shot from another angle, showing Akio mirroring Dios as he looks on with a fruity drink nearby. Text reads: "Yes."
3: Anthy bites her knuckle, tears in her closed eyes, looking torn. Text reads: "Whereas we understand"
4: Utena lying crumpled on the ground as the million swords bear down on her. Text reads: "that we'll almost certainly fail,"
5: Utena and Anthy's outstretched hands touching. Utena's hand is visibly bloody. Text reads: "which is what allows us the chance to succeed." End alt text.
#revolutionary girl utena#disco elysium#shoujo kakumei utena#dios#akio#anthy#utena#this one’s a weird one bc the YOU line there isn’t real lol i made it up#but i needed smth for the rest to be in response to#bc Steban’s dialogue is smth i stumbled across in fayde#it’s not in the game proper#it’s just a lone line of dialogue not connected to any node#but still there in the code#which is a shame bc i would have loved to see what conversation it was supposed to be a part of 😔#anyway uh hi long time no post.#not sure what to say other than it feels weird to be fandomposting right now with everything going on#but this has been nagging at me from the back of my mind for a while now#more and more every day i think about ‘’it’s our way of refusing to accept that the world has to remain like this’’

Nobody move working on thoughts about Brock and Dean similarities that include the fascinating passing down of masculinity especially within the idea of sexuality and sex that both characters are mirrors of and Dean copying Brock within that respect.
Basically Brock in the case of Hank and Dean Venture you ARE the father/mother
#venture bros#vbros#the venture bros#don’t let gay ppl watch shit they end up writing essays about everything they watch#it’s me that’s the issue but like hey one thing about me I’m gonna connect lines and make it sound like it’s something when it’s not#I hope I never meet doc and jackson or they never figure out I be writing all this nonsense

Things my father keeps saying:
he'd rather have a gay kid than a loveless one.
Me, aro/ace, in a QPR with a girl. : uhuh
We need to "remigrate immigrants' like other european countries do
Me: studied transculturalism for 1 1/2 years: ...
None of my children are doing anything with their life! Where are you (me) even going with your life? Look at my siblings and how well their children are doing!!!! (He means the teacher brother specifically)
*about to change major to become a teacher*
My dad: only people who never learned anything become teachers
You're going to live half a year at home and do nothing?????
I'm still registered at the uni so I get financial support from the state. I'm planning to move in with my gf soon, close to the other university where I want to go next semester. Planning to improve physically and work more on art and finally get around to write a book because that's always been my dream. "Apparently"
At my brother, who is struggling to get his foot in society: look at your sister!!! What positive example
Me: ... *Who feels inadequate and loves their brother very much, thank you* I'm starting to think my dad just hates us. And me, specifically.
(by the way, the morals I have today, he taught me. The work ethic I have, he taught me those.)
#rant#delete later#sorry#i just had a disturbing conversation with him#and i am so....#i mean#i know he loves us and everything#and he's trying to connect with us#and improve as a person#but his morals are just fucked up#we have a good relationship apart from that#but sometimes he just really jumps over the line

What physical part(s) of Arsay does her partners find the most attractive! Is it the same for all partners or does it differ between them?
(also optional bonus ask of what part(s) of/about Arsay generally do they love the most, physical or not!)
Meanwhile, if you were to ask the same of Arsay:
#ffxiv#wolship#g'raha tia#y'shtola rhul#wolgraha#wolshtola#y'shtola x wol#arsay nun#graharshtola#y'shtola calling arsay a pain in her side is very much an affectionate thing btw#and i couldnt pass up the joke of g'raha giving the sweet gentlemanly response only for yshtola to be like 'tits tbh'#her defaulting to an answer that would probably stop the conversation before she has to talk to much about her deeper feelings imo#i have. a lot of feelings about yshtola and arsay's friendship#someone who is constantly trying to build walls between herself and others vs someone who desperately wants to form real connections#its not a 'wearing that person down' type situation either#just one lonely person seeing another lonely person and hoping that they could be less lonely together#or that she could at least bring some cheer to#and idk yshtola strikes me as the type to have been like 'if they want to be my friend they have to work for it'#which arsay certainly did#i could ramble on and on how their friendship lines up so well with yshtolas character development but theres a limit to these tags#so just look at how cute shtola is with the slightest blush on her cheeks#graha is a much more complicated topic since he went from Extreme adoration to I want to be her friend but I dont think im good enough#to 100% Hero worship again to Shes my hero and I love her to Shes a person and I love her#to I love Arsay. Even the parts she can't love in herself. I will love all of her till my dying breath.#he thinks shes the most beautiful person in the world and the most important thing in his life#but he now knows how insane she's been about being everyone's hero and he really doesnt want to feed that beast#so hes trying to build her up in other ways#focusing more on the adventuring side than the saving the world side#and then there is arsay who loves so much about her partners and is in capable of narrowing it down to any one thing so its#'here let me list everything that comes to mind right now' with 0 shame or filter

love/hate being so invested in my da canon. this shit is so dumb I have to cry
#I keep thinking about the fact that this might be the first group of companions that really stay in contact regularly after saving the world#and i keep thinking about loua making sure to use her connection w solas to keep checking in on him and rome#and essentially delivering their mail#and then like loua kind of traveling all over thedas using the eluvians#to help as much as possible#and dorian giving her and neve a magisterium seat and her desperately learning to lead in that way#and then her traveling to kirkwall and meeting hawke#and isabela would go with her to soothe like the awkwardness of it all#and talking to Allison about varric and rome and everything that happened#and allison who ended up so close to the inquisitor bc they bonded as people forced into these devastating situations#is like ‘i know the road you’re walking is difficult. but I cannot be any sort of friend/guide to you as you navigate this’#bc hoo BOY she takes it bad that varric and rome are gone#and loua is like trying not to cry even though that’s not quite what she wanted but she’s like ‘got it. Noted’#(bc secretly she does feel like she needs someone to walk her through what it means to be a hero to the world’#and she def didn’t realize that allison would see that and just SAY no to her)#and down the line she works w like#leliana and josephine and she meets sten#bc I crave the overlap of the world I crave the cr campaign 3-ification of these stories where they all must meet#and in different capacities she works w her own team and the established teams that exist to fix problems all over thedas#and eventually she goes to briala and somehow organically it comes up that she saw solas’ memories and felassan has been this presence#that’s looked over all they’ve done#loomed******#and briala is like ‘……. hm?’#anyways rook goes from a scrappy wet dog to one of the worlds most impactful heroes#and i love that#c: loua mercar

“ace up my sleeve,” lord huron // The Raven Cycle
this was originally going to be a story about gansey but he and blue are the same, so it became about them. so its about being born just to die then live then die again curses destiny and free will and endings and defying all that anyway
#dangling comma is intentional#handing her mint leaves is taking a drag off cigarette to me#basic guide to julia quote posts: everything is supposed to connect between lyrics and from begnning to end#AND u gotta listen to the song#its important to me u know the ace up my sleeve lines are like sad and hopeful not like cocky#also so u can imitate the experience of me playing it on repeat two hours straight while finding quotes#the other rule of quote post is that i gotta use the it was beautiful here line#really wanted to use the i’d take all of you with me quote but not bluesey#will have to post all the other quotes i wanted to include#i died a million deaths trying to forma t this no one knows my pain#ughhh the beginning of song is so ganset and i just cldnt find right quotes for it

adobe illustrator is obviously a really good utility, like, it's the standard for vector graphics for a reason
but even so, whenever I'm using it I have the thought "I wish I was using autocad right now" about once every 20 minutes
#like illustrator is good at many things but I really really miss the flow of creating complex shapes that drafting software uses#like being able to size lines precisely and do chamfers and arcs and so on and have them just connect to existing shapes#without a lot of annoying wiggling and shimmying#is so core to how I think about these kinds of design problems that I pick up the pen tool and immediately have to rethink my approach#there's gotta be a way to do what I want with the consistency that I want#there's no way everyone using illustrator for the last 40 years has just had to live with these problems#I probably just have to turn on the grid or something and make everything snap to it and that'll be close

*wheeze* slowly, but surely, working on art of them all
#bg3#myart#wip#I want to make every tav/companion pairing I have a dedicated. fancy piece.#these started with a concept for a wyll drawing that was very...storybook! inspired.#I would have been done all the linework for these two pieces by now had my weekend gone better :/#I was violently unwell for...about a week and a half? chronic illness bullshit. had started to feel better friday of last week...#...unfortunately fate had it that the weekend ended up being particularly stressful. so the pain returned anew.#it was. somewhat better today. but still not enough for me to really be productive in my free time :(#I will try to complete the linework tomorrow if all goes well. I really would like to start colouring them!#I have delightful colour schemes chosen...#gale/illamin piece has already been sketched in a notebook. once I finish these two- I will begin lining theirs!#illamin's connects to cadence's because they're intertwined like that. but I have yet to finish planning out cadence's piece.#I've gone back and forth on who I should romance with him...the thing with any of the companions is that they are all written to be-#-immensely compatible with each other. so writing a tav FOR a specific companion is a bit hard. often the tav could fit with any of them.#hell. I'm STILL working out details of jantar and corydalis' story & characters. because I can't be normal about this.#that aside- I DO have other. finished pieces...finally.#well. I had some long before... but I didn't want to post them because I wasn't happy with them.#so I went and finished new stuff that I DO like.#4. technically 5 drawings. all horror/horror adjacent in theme.#my extremely detailed hux painting is also NEARLY done. after months upon months of work.#and I continue to slowly chip away at the big scifi themed dbd piece I've had in progress.#I really never run out of things to draw and it's a bit torturous because I never have the time or energy to draw everything...

So what does satisfy? Love?
#I'm dying inside#gonna throw up and kms before i have to see this not to be dramatic#but i can't deal with this#the complete about-face that is going to happen is hard to even wrap my head around#like he's all teamwork and connected to his siblings and then apparently destroys them#what#I can't even imagine this version of him?!?!#Jeremy said before that Kendall had crossed ethical lines but he was talking about the car accident#so this is something different I am assuming#something ruthless as that one review put it#I can't with this#I love Kendall don't make him like this 😭#Logan-esque like where Logan is at the beginning of this season#has lost everything but so powerful and blah blah#this is the longest tag essay of all time but I am very upset about this#jesse if this is actually where you leave him I hate you#gonna cry#WE WERE PROMISED HOPE- CAN'T GIVE UP YET#kendall roy#jeremy strong#succession#succession season 4#succession spoilers

guy trapped in a hell of his own creation: haha ive never done anything wrong in my entire life. and im always right:] anyway. why did my little brother move out:(
its so funny to me that at first glance tashi seems like hed be the most 'normal' out of all the clones but at least all the others are slowly healing n shit while hes just getting more and more insane each day and one day hell snap and explode and maim someone
#my art#my funky guys#HES SO FUCKING STUPID.#tashi im sorry ily but youre literally the dumbes fucking motherfucker ive ever seen. and a cringe loser. never change king<3#like. this guy realised he was a clone when he was a month old and decided to base his new personality entirely#on the idealised version of the original he made up in his head.#like he did this to himself!!! he chose to revolve his entire personality around being a 'perfect flawless mom friend'!!!!!!!#in his head hes like the most selfless & altruistic person to ever walk the earth but in reality hes a sad selfish mess who just wants to#be loved.#he started out as a pretty nice and level headed guy who wanted to help ppl but then it just spiraled when he made that his entire#personality bc of his inability to move on from a lie he really wanted to be true.#he percieves shiro as this perfect flawless leader figure and he wants DESPERATELY to imitate that. deep down its not enough for him to#simply coparent and share responsibility w the others. no no no he has to be The Leader and do everything himself!#this mindset results in him later on starting to dismiss and undervalue his familys work and commitment to keeping them all alive-#esp soup. like sHE WAS THERE W HIM FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THEY ARE EQUALS THEY ARE BOTH EQUALLY IMPORTRANT#AND HES SO FAR UP HIS ASS HE FORGOT. somewhere along the line he forgot. he missed the point. he spiraled too deep.#and he knows. he knows but hes so terrified of change and growth and admitting he CANT do this alone.#he wants to be a cool epic capable solo leader AND he craves family and connection soooo badly he cant live w/o his loved ones.#so yeah. hes an angry little pathetic freak<3 i love him#despite all that hes not a bad person. just a flawed guy thrown into a situation so stressful and traumatising that he clinged to the only#coping mechanism he had at the time and just sorta. ran with it.#dw he gets better tho! it takes a lot and his and sticks relationship is strained for a LONG time but he slowly gets better. good for him

Ingo would probably enjoy a date in the restored Community Center, there's a lot to do in the place and another incentive to restore the poor place. But if it's still not yet done you and Ingo watch Chandelure go Junimo hunting while Ingo helps motivate you to finish the Community Center.
The Community Center is one area is interesting track to take but that also means that Thylak will have to figure out the code for the event to play - Like if Community Center complete - play this event and vise versa. Which means 2 possibly events.
I might have to discuss the idea further with him - since uhh Emmet's 8 heart event took like... 2... months.. ish.
(It was a lot of figuring out separate routes etc.)
Plus any code involving Community Center is messy LOL.
But I can definitely see Ingo and the farmer having fun at the community center or Ingo wondering why Chandelure is so drawn to the center.
Honestly the Junimo stuff could be a Chandelure event.... 🤔 Hmmm....
Pokémon Events are later down the line... but definitely something for me to think about.
◁ - Station Stewardess Kade
#mail car connecting line#Loving the ideas so far.#But I do want to make sure it's straight forward for#Thylak since he's the one implementing ALL the code...#We already have some pretty complex events coming up for Emmet and#some other villagers.... and some Pokémon stuff.#We been drafting maps#Making assets#and just hoping and praying 1.6 does not break EVERYTHING.#Who am I kidding somthing is going to break and we will be flooded with Joltiks.

Ohh im obssesed



#uprooted#uprooted naomi novik#solya#marek#my main playlists dedicated to them :]#idk why they cought my attention in 2018 and since that year they have had a special place in my heart. sometimes throughout my day-#i realise im obssesed with them and they're not just some random characters i like. ive dedicated a lot of time on them#i wonder how my interest in them will be when i get older. i certainly know that i will miss them if i stop thinking about them#you could say they have seen me grow. i knew them BEFORE quarantine. they were with me DURING. and AFTER#they have been through so many phases of my life. its so strange.#they changed so much too...except Marek. he still looks the same I imagined him in 2018. solya is definitely different tho#but i do think i have a different more in depth understanding of both characters#even if the words i read in 2018 are still the same now that i look back at the book. they were so many things unsaid but if u looked-#closely you could understand them. solya and marek as individual characters have so much depth...even if its not explicitly said#or maybe its just me reading between the lines too much. i wish i just knew more about them. this is getting so long-#but I got a bit nostalgic. is crazy how i was just a child and somehow even tho solya was just the total opposite of the type of characters-#i like there was something in him. something that made me look at him. and i think thats actually so in character of him#i think that in the book even if someone didnt like him. it was still hard to look away because he stood out from the rest.#there was definitely something about him that attracted people. or else how would have he gotten so far in his schemes?#I may be overanalyzing it. but i love the Falcon so much. and i do like marek a lot as a character. i find him very interesting. i know he-#did bad. terrible. things i like him as a character. not as a person.#i wish i could have seen what was going on in that damaged mind of his...#analyzing his behavior its so entertaining to me. i love making up scenarios where he is at his worst. im not gonna lie#marek suffering and then finding comfort in not comforting things is one of my favorite headcanons.#his obssesion with his mother is also a very important part of his character (ofc) and i love imagine him doing things related to that#thinking about the ways their personalities connect and make them have a very toxic bond keeps me up at night..they made each other worst#and we actually never see that in depth in the book. everything is so subtle but my crazy brain can find the signs in any part#i will stop this rant here. i feel its so long and if i made any spelling mistake i apologise to my future self (probably my self from-#tomorrow) because i know i won't be able to fix the misspelling and that will stress me SO MUCH.#future self please dont stress about it. just be happy. and enjoy thinking about these insane characters

i keep going back and forth because on the one hand, i feel like gortash should be in his 40s. but on the other i keep noticing the text calling him young, so maybe he's supposed to be in his 30s? but then whenever he's called young it usually seems like it's in comparison to whoever he's with (a "younger man" than ketheric, a "young man" compared to gut, called "young gortash" by balthazar). according to karlach he also looks basically the same as he did 10 years ago so he could be in his 30s and just aged early or he could be in his 40s or older and just not changed much between then and now. hm
#also. so many things can affect your skin and how you age so you can't base everything off appearance yknow#mostly thinking about this because i wanted to make a little timeline outline thing for vex#if he was 38 some early events would line up nicely timeline wise for the themes and connections and all that but idk if that feels right#enver gortash#★
