[fivewholeminutes]

Thank you for the tag, Darya 🥺🩵

Let me add more ppl not mentioned in reblogs/comments!!

Banger artists:

@ancientbygone (MY BELOVED, PLEASE ALWAYS READ THE TAGS UNDER ITS ART AS WELL, THEY CONTAIN DELICIOUS LORE INTERPRETATIONS)

@naroence has a lot of cool art!! Most of the pieces are visual lyrics' interpretations!!

@monstrouscrew makes art that makes my brain go brrrrrrr. There's just that 🌟something🌟 about their art that i absolutely adore

@sleepomen has a positively creepy (IN A VERY GOOD WAY) style!!

@sleepiest-token makes amazing art full of cool details and elements and every time i look at each of her pieces i find another cool detail i've previosuly missed

@eskainne has amazing ideas and style and every time i see the tmbte countdown art i must reblog. It's exquisite 🖤

@renard-dartigue has cool interpretations of their looks and the art is FUCKING NEAT

@missilesilo 10/10 no notes. Only yelling into the woods

@corviisquire aka the tangerine saga artist!! Their art is just so. JUICY (pun intended)

@xjordyleighx is making good art. Period.

@shutterspeedserpent has amazing ideas and i am eating them all up like a starving animal

@costumersupportdept does banger embroidery and bead art!!!!!!!!

@palahnyook is also making banger art. With a lot of nature elements!!

And here are people who make interpretations and analysis and even short posts pointing out nice things about lyrics and music or are just cool and post about st in general: @bluesey-182, @kaddyssammlung, @sleep-token, @glitterghost, @the--vessel, @fields-of-elation, @sleeptokeninterpretations, @cinnamo6, @euclidsvessel, @sleep-token-confessions, @ruinme-please, @sleepytoken!

Hello! I'm sorry if this sounds weird, but, I'm new to the st community here (ran away from twt lol), and I'm wondering if there's any specific blogs that do specific things that I should catch onto? Like, blogs that do lyric analysis, lore chat, art etc?

I've been following you for a while, and I've been trying to interact with blogs that come up a lot, but admittedly I'm a bit lost lmao

Again, sorry if this is a weird ask, and doubly sorry if this is something you've already been asked before!

Hello anon!! Don't worry about the questions, I'm always happy to help, even if I have answered before!

We don't really have "specific blogs" around here as per se. There's @sleepanonymous who's the resident Librarian/Archivist/Knowledge Keeper, and then there are some blogs that do exclusively fanart and fanfiction.

Otherwise we're all a mix of everything. Most of us do a mix of lore theories / analysis / fanart / shitpost. Since the band itself doesn't have an "actual" set lore, you'll find a lot of different takes for the same songs / themes. I think we all have our own takes on the storyline, so it's really nice to read everyone's different opinions. Please feel free to join the conversation!

I have a tag specifically for ST lore on my pinned post, if you want to take a look at that!

@melit0n @undekaying @foundationsofdecay @lovingache @hookedhobbies @fivewholeminutes @thevenomousseprent are some lovely lovely people that do/have done lore / lyric analysis (and myself lol).

@leonsleftbicep @ghxstly-death do frequent headcanons if that's more your speed (and fantastic fanart as well). Not gonna be tagging all the ST artists cus I'd never shut up - everyone is so talented lmao.

Other general ST "heavy" blogs that you should follow (aka the people i interact with the most and can atest to how wonderful they are) - @murderofcrow @a-s-levynn @thejawsoffate @polteergeistt @eepymonstrr @takemetoasgard @sleeby-vessel @vesselsscarlet @tonguetyd @lifemod17 @littlequeenofthemangoes @channelsoph @foxgloveinspace and I know I'm forgetting a lot of blogs oof

If you browse through the main tags, and the lore tags, you'll find a lot more people and content to interact with! I know I'm forgetting a million different lovely individuals lmao, I'M SORRY GUYS. So if you see this, say hi and share your stuff!!

I was one of the anons that didn’t know what to think when I first saw the Sam/Dean tag on See Something Say Something but now I’m like. You know what fuck it, you write it well. I look forward to every chapter and i apologize for being a hater

LOOOL you are forgiven we have all guzzled hatorade at some point

during my initial foray into supernatural (when i was watching the early seasons in real time) i didn't ship them at all until i read a crack fic as a joke

The incestuous courtship of the antichrist's bride by fleshflutter

summary: Sam is trying to become the Antichrist in order to save the world. He has a small army of angels and demons, he has an adoring cult, he has a work of prophecy by Jack Kerouac, and he has Dean. Things are going pretty well until he accidentally signs Dean up as his Beloved Consort, a role that requires sex with the Antichrist on an altar. And that's when things stop going pretty well. Also, the soundtrack to the Apocalypse sucks.

it has no business being as unbelievably good as it is, but also it was my first fleshflutter fic so i didn't know what i was getting myself into. it's one of my favorite fics in any fandom just because the balance of crack and horror and love and humor is so finely done that you just have to go damn. even if i hated everything about this fic i would still love it

but i was like, okay, just because this fic was good doesn't mean i really ship it. like what's wrong with just a freaky little codependent brotherly relationship? the ship mostly just exists because they're hot

then i read Stranger Than Fiction by nyxocity

summary: Meta-comedy/drama set immediately post-4x18, The Monster at the End of This Book. Dean can't stop wondering why people would write gay porn about him and Sam. Research takes him to interesting places; re-reading novels for subtext, visiting message boards, and a really freaky place called LiveJournal. What he discovers is a sick fascination with fanfiction, more about gay sex than he ever wanted to know, and an even deeper obsession with understanding why people write this stuff. Meanwhile, they're hunting a mysterious monster that takes the form of a person's truest love to kill them slowly, the lines between fanfiction and reality are starting to break down, and they still have to stop Lilith and save the world.

which reads like it's crack, which is probably why i clicked on it, and isn't really. not only did the author convince sam and dean, they also convinced me. i was like okay fine you make a compelling argument

and when supernatural sucked me in this time a decade later, i was once more like well! yeah wincest is fine but i really am just a sucker for a good fucked up brotherly relationship. no need to be a folgers commercial about it

then i read It's the Blueprint of Your Life by queenklu

summary: Sam jerks awake in the middle of the night and everything goes to hell. Well, not literally, though Dean is staring down the barrel of less than a year before his deal comes due. In the midst of dealing (or not dealing) with his impending death, a killer ghost ship, and Bela showing up out of the blue, Dean also has to figure out what’s going on in Sam’s head to make him so twitchy, why he’s suddenly breezing through this case while writing endless notes in a notebook he won’t let Dean see. Damn it, Dean thinks, This is gonna take a lot of chickflick moments.

which is not only one of my very favorite supernatural fics but the one that made me throw up my hands and go fine!! i ship it then!! are you happy now?

pleased and honored to be your gateway drug in these trying times <3

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they're codependent and not in a shippy way either. I'm not sure if I want to say it's codependency in an emotionally abusive/manipulative way but it's definitely not healthy and there are other factors to it outside out that as well.

I think it’s only manipulative on Jimmy’s front.

I see Curly as this deeply lonely person because he doesn’t open up well. I believe he is very rehearsed because he’s used to being the rock, strong man and stabilizing force. His vulnerability is very much ignored or downplaying in the game intentionally by Jimmy who uses his and others woes as a comparative. I see this as a common behavior between them but also just something Curly will do to himself to keep himself complacent. He doesn’t have much he actually enjoys in life more so things he just does. Jimmy is one thing he’s felt more than complacent and comfortable around in a long while despite how inconsiderate Jimmy is. He’s more used to it than he loves it but he’s used to that.

Jimmy in the other hand is like a dog that bites the hand that feeds it. Jimmy recognizes those little cracks Curly has and likes to dig into them to get a foothold. He knows Curly isn’t the one to suddenly budge, so if he can keep him wedged in a place he is, he’s secured to. He needs Curly, but forgets that he chose to attach himself that way and resents Curly for keeping him from getting out from under him. He based everything off the reflections on the shield he force Curly to be for him but can’t see the painful light Curly obscures.

To me, it’s really just Curly is used to how draining Jimmy is. He relents and works with whatever keeps Jimmy placated because it’s easier and he doesn’t feel like he has much else that he actually enjoys. It’s an abusive relationship but not physically, not until after the crash atleast. Jimmy’s a leech and Curly just got used to being lightheaded.

Will Schuester. You should use that screenshot of him singing "creature of the night" from touch me from rocky horror, creepiest shot in existence and I want people to have to think about that

I will never fear undocumented immigrants anywhere near as much as I fear Republican law makers. And that is something that will never change.

hello! i have a question about GG20's sunset! i think she is very interesting and her design is so awesome!! okay the question, what would you think her and celestia's relationship would be in the au? would it be similar to their show relationship or would it differ more?

Very similar to the show, actually. AU Sunset was Celestia's pupil, similar to Cadance (although not an adoptive daughter). However, Sunset always felt like an outsider and was eager to gain a Canterlotian title and join Celestia's court of witches. She grew resentful and bitter after Celestia denied her, stating she wasn't ready. After unleashing the sirens, Celestia banished Sunset to Earth, only to return once she's defeated the sirens. Sunset loathes Celestia and blames everything on her. Celestia feels guilt and regret similar toward her sister. After the incident, she fell into a depression (only to be taken out of it when Thea enters the story). Celestia still cares about Sunset though and sometimes secretly sends tributes to aid her quest, like Sunset's rapier sword and magical horse, Shimmer.

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

[fallenclan]

is fernstar big or is wolfstar small (or perhaps…both) i need to know for science

- 🫐 since i’ve been sending more anons to u as of late…hope it’s not taken!

bit of both! Fernstar is a pretty tall cat, and Wolfstar is just slightly shorter than average

[ahappyphjl]

The whole point of II was fan service so that they can earn the right to stop this whole thing... was making extremely emotional. I love them and enjoy watching them... but they really don't owe us anything.

i sooo agree :( like of course i appreciate their consideration of us in that way and the ii era was super fun and Needed before the hiatus, but yeah they’ve done so much for us there’s nothing to be owed or that has to be earned. i feel like whatever they decide to do is always going to be considerate of us as long as they keep doing what they do, that’s just who they are, and i love them so much for that

[r-aindr0p]

Tw: talk about l*ague of legends 🤢 (I can be a hater since I play the game)

I'm trying to draw this character who I've been crushing on since I was 12 and like, I literally can't because my brain just keeps going that's not good enough do better! Crying cuz I can't draw my wife properly... ANYWAY there's this magical talking cat in LoL and I really want to draw her interacting with Grim too!

— 🐀

Ohh which one ?? I've played a bit of league some time ago, used to main veigar ! (my fav is Vladimir (pc design) but his gameplay is too hard for me, sobbing, yone looks cool too tbh and oh, that one (1) skin in white suit for swain....)

And I get it I get the same feeling with Rollo, loving the character so much and when you look at your art of them it feels like it's not good enough because they're just that magnificent in our minds 😔 And omg... Grim and Yuumi ... magic floofs hanging out, basking in the sun. Made me want to draw it too eee

[askexecutiveproton]

omg it's been so long hello!! Hope you're taking care of yourself!

Question for Mr. Product! If you received an unknown pokemon egg all of a sudden, what would you do with it?

Totally has nothing to do with the egg i'm holding inconspicuously in my arms and trying to pawn off because I totally didn't steal it.

Totally.

Happy Lunar New Year to you BPP!

After reading Jimin's msg for Armys today and with everything happening in my life I can't keep this good feelings inside anymore, I want to share a tiny bit of good news --------

I'M PREGNANT!!!

After 2 years of trying because of my PCOS. It's been a rollercoaster but after my midterm check up last week my husband and me feel at ease a bit to start telling people. I'm so excited I've told everyone even told my mom's neighbor (who I hate a tiny bit cos she is loud in everyone's business and used to insult me for how I wore my skirt to school when I was young.) It's a bit scary to raise a baby in today's world, just the budgeting I've started doing gives me small heart palpitations but I can't help feeling excited BPP!!

Sorry for rambling on another limb t but I have a question. My baby is a girl and I'm thinking of naming her Jimin. My husband doesn't think this is weird to name her after our patron saint Jimin thank God but I wonder if it's alright to name give my baby girl a man's name? If I name her Jimin do you think it will be insulting to Korean culture? I've been stressing a little about this and I don't know anyone Korean in my life. Can you give some advise?

***

Congratulations!

And don't even sweat it, Jimin is a unisex name. There are probably just as many women named Jimin in Korea, as there are men. So, it's not really 'a man's' name.

Also, I can't claim to speak for a whole country but I don't think it's insulting to give your child a Korean name. Several Koreans give their kids English names, Spanish names, and names from other cultures. People name their kids after TV show characters and Bible characters. You can name your daughter whatever you like, even more so if that name has a special meaning to you.

Knowing that Jimin is your inspiration for the name you're giving your daughter is heartwarming. He's a lovely, special person and it's sweet he's made such an impact on you, that your baby will bear his name.

Congratulations again and I'm wishing you and your family a wonderful year ahead!

As the local mage rights expert, what are your thoughts about the tranquil being MIA in Veilguard?

Honestly it's kinda funny that you ask lmao cause this is something I was thinking about pretty recently? I didn't mention it in my initial review cause I think in the face of everything else, I didn't even realize initially that they were completely absent. But I can forgive myself for that, given just how much else was also skipped over

I suppose it's probably because, once again, the question of who became divine and thus what happened to the circles is the issue. Because if the circles still exist in some form (under Cass or Viv), the tranquil are presumably mostly contained within the circles (especially as we also know that some bad things happened to them during the revolution, so there's probably fewer of them now and not for good reasons). Though if the circles have been disbanded, where the tranquil would've ended up is a good question. Because while they are still like, functioning adults, they are more vulnerable due to lacking any real self-defence skills or exposure to life outside the circles or even just. Basic fear, so you know when you need to be on guard. So-called negative emotions like fear are really vital for survival actually but that's also a different topic lmao

Anyway, I think the reason for them being absent is cause bioware was still dancing around that choice, which means they couldn't really show what happened to them. Mind you, tranquil merchants exist outside the circles (there was one in Denerim in origins) and also we know that tranquility is done in Tevinter too (though the Tevinter politics in general are super watered down, so of course that wouldn't come up). But given the games avoidance of all political topics, I'm not super surprised there was no mention of them. I don't even recall a codex, which is kind of odd, but I guess the concept isn't relevant enough to anything that happens in veilguard

As for my own thoughts as to what happened to them post-circles, I like to think that at least some cells of mages would've felt it important to care for the tranquil. I also really like to think that the cure for tranquility become more known and that maybe, just maybe, all the surviving tranquil (at least outside of Tevinter) may have been cured in the 10 years since. That's super wishful thinking lmao but I like to consider it. It could've been something mentioned when we went to Rivain, even, as that'd be the perfect place for it to happen

(I have also, of course, thought heavily about what my Hawke and Anders might have been up to post-circle dissolution and honestly, trying to help the tranquil would be a super fitting option in my opinion, maybe starting out just trying to protect them but later learning how to cure them and then doing that. Because yeah, the circles are gone, so they can finally relax at least a little, but while both of them could use a break, I don't think either of them would be able to sit idle forever. They're the kind of people that need to be doing things lmao. And this also is righting one of the fundamental injustices of the circles, one that has still not been corrected so long as tranquil mages still exist, and one that has affected Anders personally. And given Justice, they could actually do it if they only knew how and I'm sure Justice would be 100% down. So that may end up being my personal headcanon lmao. I'm still rolling things around in my brain, but I think it's a really good option regardless)

[dykedvonte]

love seeing your takes on mouthwashing and how sane they are. everything's so black or white. I like how you acknowledge curlys abuse under jimmy (which I honestly didn't quite notice when I first watched a playthrough. should rewatch w this in mind) and how that very much doesn't "forgive" his inaction towards Anya and Her abuse under jimmy. I think what happens to him despite all his issues (bc he clearly wasn't OK 😊✌🏼) is very much karmic. I really did hurt huh

I hate the take that what happened to him is karmic as becoming disabled and being tortured is like not in any way an equal consequence for not taking more action against Jimmy. It is a consequence as is the whole game for everyone but it’s one that is very much established as being undeserved and extreme as everyone else’s but Jimmy’s fate.

Thank you for liking my takes but I also try to point out that this exact sort of framing of the events and what happened to Curly is bad especially if you are gonna factor in his own abuse into the equation of his inaction/ineffective acts. It’s like “saying yeah he deserved the abuse he was already going through to escalate because he didn’t do enough” which is like not a message the game tries to deliver at all. It’s like the game shows that abusers escalate

Karma and punishment are not concepts that I think should be directly tied to Curly’s fate especially since during the game and even in discussion he takes on too many consequences of someone else’s actions. Like this framing is the direct thing I describe taking the discussion away from Jimmy, P.E and the factors that created the environment in the first place.
