pacing around in circles muttering to myself about daniel and louis and the years between the first interview and now...... daniel telling armand "he didn't even want me in the end" after offering to get on his knees for him instead... they didn't fuck but for decades "i really thought we did" / "do you want to now?"... daniel is old and dying in a penthouse full of impossibly young beautiful immortal beings and louis still laughingly offers something that daniel thought for years he'd gotten already. and then it turns out that not only he didn't, but something in him had assumed they did have sex and never explored that further and he's gone through this entire second interview so far under that assumption because that bridge has been crossed already. except it hadn't and when louis says "do you want to now" you can see the change in his expression like for the briefest of moments he really is considering it
#THE VOICEEEEEESSSSS THE VOICES..............#anyway. im going insane thank you for asking#captain's log#anyway ik other ppl have said all of this before im just still thinking about it and i CANT STOP#young daniel obviously thought of himself as desirable and he was also obviously into louis#taking off his shirt straight away... he would have fucked louis in the coffin let me tell you that#but now??? when he's fucked up two marriages and two daughters and he's old and sick????#the fact that louis offers Now even as a joke thats kinda also not really a joke#and eric bogosian is SO good at showing daniel's shock through his change in expression#his mouth hanging open a little from the surprise that this beautiful immortal being would ask him that#it's the first time we see modern day louis laugh as well i think#he likes daniel!! he thinks daniel is smart and funny and he likes his company!!#i think they should have made out a little before armand came home. as a treat for both of them#the fact that he manages to convince him to stick his feet in the rocks is the funniest bit of the entire episode btw. in my opinion#iwtv spoilers#kinda theyre from ep 5 but still#iwtv#interview with the vampire#danlou#loudaniel#is that the tag? idk

I want Fit and Pac to collide on what love is for them, I think.
It's amazing to see all the content on them and I immensely enjoy every single piece of fanart/fanfiction that goes
when Fit gets broody and upset over not being gentle enough for Pac and Pac has heart eyes because Fit is completely drenched in someone's blood and then they kiss over Cellbit's corpse.
But maybe I also like the idea that Fit wants to be gentle to Pac, wants him to be a special little someone that deserves the softest he has to offer. And then Pac doesn't get it!
Idk, maybe they talk, and Pac confesses that it's "really cool" or whatever to see Fit absolutely rocking people's shit and Fit goes "So... you find me attractive because I am dangerous?" and initially he thinks like "yeah you know what fair enough" 'cause Pac absolutely can fall in a cave and just stay in one place and wait for Fit to help him despite being perfectly capable on his own. Maybe he likes being taken care of and feeling protected by someone - Fit can certainly provide. And it's all true, but in the moment Pac lightly responds with "Oh yeah! You could break me in half no problem, it's really hot" and Fit goes Huh. It's Unusual to like a person that you assess as a potential danger to you. And he worries that Pac is afraid of him, so goes in to reassure him, something along the lines of:
"Well, first of all, you are very strong, so I probably wouldn't win against you in a fight--"
"Oh, I wouldn't fight you, what?" And it's worse, actually.
"--But I'd also never just, what? Attack you for no reason? Murder you? I'm not going to do that to you, Pac!" He finishes anyway, desperately hoping to get his point across.
Pac gets nervous immediately, like he always does when he feels that his words or actions have somehow been unpleasing to the people around him and he needs to fix his behaviour asap. He sounds a bit hurried, a bit pleading when he starts with "No, of course not, of course not!" and Fit relaxes, because it's all a big misunderstanding-- "But, I mean, if you have to! For some horrible, sad, lore reason. Or if-- for any other reason, not lore. I'd let you, you know? Whatever you need." And Pac hugs his own arms, and his voice gets kinda quiet and stuttery to the end of that sentence, as if he can't tell whether he is redeeming himself or making it worse (he is absolutely making it worse - Fit feels sick to his stomach - but he has no presence of mind to tell Pac that). And still, he looks directly into Fit's eyes, sure, determined, even, as he lays himself out like a lamb to the slaughter. As if he has no worth outside of what others can take from him. As if in his head there is an outcome where Fit will hurt Pac and Pac has preemptively forgiven him for it, is looking forward to it.
(There isn't such outcome, because hurting Pac is never an inevitability or fate - only a choice that Fit will not make. But Pac seems convinced that this betrayal of trust is not only expected, but is also somehow desirable.
And it makes Fit... not scared. But very, very worried.)
#qsmp#qsmp fitmc#qsmp pac#fitpac#idk just thoughts aloud#bonus points if Fit wonders whether that means that Pac has also accepted that he will hurt Fit and whether he can trust him at all#Fit isn't ashamed of his violent past or present#but he wants Pac to be special and exempt from the bloodshed#while Pac convinces himself that violence can BE love#which it can *points at murder husbands*#but only when it's not violence TO ONE OF THE PARTNERS *points at murder husbands more agressively*#sorry if it came out contrary I didn't mean to I have so much respect for everyone in the fitpac tag you guys are so smart and creative

"Not in my guard, entity"
Skye in the movie is a pop star so Butt-head who is an adult here i gave him the outfit Skye wore at the end of the film but i gave it a pinch of rockstar and pop vibes (i can totally see him become a rockstar in an alternate timeline heh). This one was bit hard to draw due that i planned on draw him with his smiling counterpart but remembering this Halloween batch i am making involves characters cosplaying as horror characters i decided to go by this simple pose,, 👌✨🖤
And don't worry, knowing how Butt-head is it's very obvious he'd survive the curse lmao
#beavis & butthead#beavis and butthead#butthead fanart#butthead#b&b#beavis and butthead au#smile 2#skye riley#sure butt-head would be tormented and scared by the entity at first but he'll eventually have a trick under the sleeve to defeat it#so yeah all he would have to do is call the entity a few of his iconic insults and it will scare it away#the entity: damn he's more smart and stupid than i thought f*ck i'll go curse somebody else#so good ending: all butt-head had to do was be annoying on purpose to save himself from dying by the smiling curse#halloween#horror#horror au

the lightwoods dying premature deaths couldve been a one-off thing that happened to benedict but instead cecily herondale (dead sister haver) and gideon lightwood (future dead sister haver) used their combined dead sibling trauma to create the single most cursed bloodline in all of shadowhunter history. their impact....
#and then robert didnt have any dead siblings to be traumatised by so he died himself and had TWO dead sons to keep it going#one of them came back but at what cost#roberts parents probably thought they were so smart to only have one kid.... 💔#tsc#tmi#tid#personal

HI ERABUU HRUU?? :D
so, have you seen those Sethos and Wanderer lines? and the dynamic them both have at all?? its like Sethos wanted to know more of Wanderer and possibly befriend him y'know 😭😭
YES I READ IT AND i am really invested in it.
They are both interesting, I enjoy their dynamic 😭 bahahaa plz ! Also when wanderer told "huh he keeps following me and ask abt my hat ☝️ 😐" and sethos and in backstory 1 of Sethos, when Sethos was too busy, Wanderer is the one starting the conversation 😭 oh he doesn't mind Sethos at all !! Anyway, looking how Sethos is smart but also open-minded, I am sure Wanderer would find it interesting to talk with him too !
And the fact they also both pretty similar, but contrary too !! Anyway, I'm happy abt a possible Sethos Scara friendship 😊
#reply#sethos#scara#hMMM if i should talking about romance dynamic between them#i don't mind either and I might be like it#but in a one-sided romance from Sethos ☝️ and also I HC Wanderer having borderline personnality disorder ; it is hard for him-#to create new friendship because of that#wanderer can't trust anyone but mostly because he can't trust himself ; and also the fear of rejection but also feel deep connection when-#he start to like someone (platonic or romantic) and that's why I believe more than his redemption#he fears to create link with people#HUH MY THOUGHT IS MORE DEEP THAN THAT ABT WANDERER BUT in big that's my thought. and!#i truly believe Sethos could bring a sort of “comfort” because he is smart and open-minded#sethos is interested on wanderer beCAUSE he is sure he is not a normal student but the fact Sethos wish to keep talk w him even if wanderer-#shows act of rejection (but it is not like he doesn't want Sethos to interact w him anymore ; he wouldn't talk him first once if so)#just kind of show that their dynamic could work#but it can be /rom as /p ofc !!#i lost the thread of my thought i dont remember where I wanted to go... huh in conclusion : slay

You know it would be funny if the actual villain of penacony is the dream master, so far he seems slightly oppressive and questionable, like he ordered the head security of dewlight pavilion to "kill" his family for treason, he doesn't truly care for "death" : it's like he's frantically trying to stop the watchmaker instead of dealing with the current threat, and I at least believe that Gallagher is taking revenge for the watchmaker, that is if he isn't the watchmaker himself.
From his character story - "...Gallagher is my most genuine lie. Sometimes, I can't even distinguish between him and myself."
It also talks Abt his past and how he was fighting for freedom, basically old penacony when he was a prisoner, dreaming of creating a land of ideals. I recently thought Abt how penacony might not be what the watchmaker envisioned so he got displeased with the family, since they're not free from wickedness and evilness . Would be super interesting if Sunday learns the unfiltered truth and gets free from the family teachings (brainwashing) I'm sure as a head he has enough authority to make his own research and reach his own judgement but that's the power of manipulation from early childhood lol. Oti alfalfa did say the watchmaker wasn't a bad person, so would be funny if eventually Sunday teams up with Gallagher LOL
#idk if i should be amazed or scared sunday remembers every single member of the family#the dream master was displeased by his investigations hmmm wHy tHo#okay are there no consequences to acheron just slashing a hole in the dream while Sunday is like#nvm let them destroy as much that way a rat will come out#dream master be like 🧍 didn't raise u well!#OMG I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING#so like Sunday is smart and very preceptive#yet the kind to be paranoid of everyone except the one who 'shouldnt' do harm#aka the dream master#Gallagher says smth at the end i kept trying to understand and this is my conclusion!#“in the thick of things people are blind to the grit in their eyes” (dreammaster)#“yet they can only feel it's scratch” (problems he's causing)#Sunday just needs to learn robin is alive n he'll be himself again lol#idk why i put this in tags#honkai star rail#hsr sunday#hsr theory#hsr thoughts

xina and miguels relationship is sooo good actually. in like a raw, deep, emotional sense. in what they do for each other. specifically what she would've done for him. xina is everything miguel needs in a partner–she holds him accountable, she challenges him to be better than he is. and that makes him uncomfortable. and that should be a GOOD thing, like it should be what he needs to grow and be a better person and not fall into that trap of being stuck under tyler stones thumb at alchemax, but breaking out and being that person for her is hard and it's scary and miguel just wants to live a life where he can stay the smartest guy in the room and live comfortably without having to face that reality. he doesn't wanna throw himself into the unknown of self-discovery, he'd rather just wallow in what he has and pretend he doesn't hate himself. AND ITS LIKE... the things being spiderman does to his character over time, that like, desire to finally grow up and become someone worthy of the good things in his life, whether it's gabriel or xina or whatever else, SHE WOULD'VE DONE FOR HIM had they stayed together. like. aughgh. she was so good for him, and that scared him because since when does miguel o'hara deserve something that perfect, so he had to bring about the self-fulfilling prophecy of his own inability to be worthy of being loved and cheating plotline ensues. ugh his psychology in this relationship makes me insane.
#i realize this post became more about miguels half of xinamiguel toward the end but#my thoughts go where they go#xina was 100% justified in telling him to fuck off cuz she deserves better#gabriel wouldve been just as justified in cutting him off after the cheating thing too#cuz that was just next level shitty#but SOMETHINGSOMETHING self fulfilling prophecy his thinks his fathers blood runs thru his veins he thinks he has his fathers face#no way miguel o'hara could ever be worthy of good#not to himself at least#because as smart and as cocky as he is he knows this in his bones hes known it since he was a kid#he hates himself and he doesnt know how to deal with it so bam give everyone he loves a reason to hate him too#then he mustve been correct to feel that way. right???#god he makes me insane#sorry whole post is in tags actually#tama talks#spiderman 2099#xinamiguel#miguel o'hara

hear me out for genshin x bsd-
atsushi would be a cryo claymore that scales off atk (since the tiger is shown as extremely powerful and can even cut through space) and optimizes physical dmg
dazai would be a geo sword support that increases elemental res, acting as a debuffer (as no longer human works in the bsd universe) he would also scale off em
kunikida would also be geo but catalyst that deals physical aoe dmg.. he'd be an in-slot dps but not an optimal one imao his talents are much better suited to make him a battery unit
akutagawa would be pyro polearm?? or sword?? and he's obviously a heavy dps that scales off crit rate/dmg and tenma tengai could be similar to cyno's burst when, once activated, increases def while simultaneously raising rashomon's atk
chuuya would be an anemo catalyst dps similar to wanderer bc of his gravity manipulation and he would have a melee stance where he atks from the ground and an elevated state where he uses gravity manipulation to be able to atk off-ground. his ult would be corruption obviously and would parallel xiao's where his atk and crit rate/dmg are sharply increased but he undergoes continuous dmg until the duration of his burst ends (in this state he is vulnerable as his def is lowered and he isn't able to accumulate energy meaning he needs a team built around him, preferably with a healer and a shielder)
how does it feel to be the sexiest person on this site w absolutely the most correct and banger takes anon??.. why are u correct on literally everything
#DAZAI BEING GEO IS A SMART MOVE I LIKE THAT. i would've seen him as cryo (bc nlh is blue and also bc cryo is the element of contradiction)#(much like how dazai lashes out against his inherently selfish nature to help atsushi)#(and how he does not see himself as human and feels alienated from human society bc of it yet he is written to be the most relatable-#-character in the show?? or at least i think so)#BUT GEO MAKES SENSE.. GEO REPRESENTS DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE#GEO VISION HOLDERS HAVE MINDS OF STONE AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS#WHILE THIS CAN BE SEEN AS A NOBLE AND DILIGENT TRAIT.. DAZAIS MORALLY GRAY CHARACTERIZATION PUTS A WHOLE NEW TWIST ON WHAT THIS ENTAILS#HE IS MACHIAVELLIAN INTRINSICALLY. ITS WHO HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN. HE BELIEVES THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS#AND WHETHER HE ACHIEVES THAT THROUGH MANIPULATION OR THROWING AWAY HIS OWN HUMANITY.. HE WILL DO IT IF IT SEES HIS PLAN THROUGH#also kunikida would be dendro imao bc of his adherence and passion for his ideals#which parallels dendro users highly valuing and pursuing knowledge above all#anyway sry for rambling in the tags again those are just my thoughts feel free to disagree <33#lotus’s asks

my standards have dropped considerably i think bc just now i thought to myself "man its been a while since ive read a BL where both of the main characters equally drive the plot" and i was dead serious
#duri vs toons#adding checkmate to list of toons that i like but i cant believe i just thought that lol#checkmate definitely stands out in the BL manhwa scene to me but not bc its like exceptionally complex#though i do want to put soohyun in a blender he's the best character ive seen in a while#but bc BLs tend to portray tops as this all knowing all powerful man who is good at everything and saves the day everytime#but in checkmate eunsung though is definitely talented he wouldnt be able to break those students out himself#soohyun takes charge and he isnt this all incredible all according to keikaku either#he's smart but also he's a big fucking dumbass.#and thats what makes it interesting to follow - theres a stake#instead of the usual BL route of top banging it all out and bottom just gets dragged along with the plot#not that i complain abt the other BLs who follow that route i know what im getting into. its just checkmate is so refreshing to me. love it!

Thinking about Karamatsu/Nozomi whole looking through some web weavings, and if I ever write something for them (currently in the phase of trying to come up with key events and organise them chronologically so it makes sense, thematically) I think I'd like this to be one of the take aways
In the event of a bad ending (dunno if I'm strong enough for that though 🫠 SHE CAN CHANGE HIM WITHOUT DYING im better than that), I hope that Karamatsu still finds it in himself to stop being so passive about his life. Like,
To stop waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect answer to dawn on him, and instead take life by reins and... Just start being an active participant in his own life. To embrace self-determination and the risk of committing to something that may not pan out but still forces you to take conscious and mindful action every day.
#nozomi takahashi#karamatsu#karanozo#thinking about what the sextuplets (say they) want out of life vs. what they do to achieve it vs. whats holding them back#you have cybermatsu who are the most driven/ambitious but where one is held back by anxiety/the delusion that thinking about being responsi#is the same as actually being responsible (i mean. i get it lol) the other one is held back by trying to cheat the system bcs he thinks he'#too smart for hardwork + the apprehension that if he earns something it may be disrupted by his family dynamic which is HEARTBREAKING#then parka who dont show much ambition and i think they embrace the mindset of not wanting more than they currently have#whilst ignoring the discomfort this creates. and i like to think Osomatsu is stressed by the knowledge that as the eldest he SHOULD be#striving for more no matter how much change scares him (sick dad skit + nyachan skit) whils Ichimatsu just has such a low image of himself#he probably thinks back to how hard he had to try I'm HS and gets discourage yet also ignores the successes he's had#(hc but i like to think everyone thought he and choro would be the most well adapted and traditionally functional members of society but it#didn't pan out. in Choro's case because he wasn't as good as he thought he was and in Ichimatsu's because realising that he'd have to mask#forever kept him from trying)#and then. kinniku. and I'm thinking how they're the two with the most obvious passions (the arts + sports) and how they're visibly#skilled (Kara) and talented (Jyushi) and Karamatsu even mentions in S1 that he tried to become an actor but gave up and Jyushi says he's#never actually played an official baseball match prior to the S1 finale and I go insane thinking that they also tried in their own way to#pursue less traditional passions but they were always held back until they allowed the passions to become an scape and a distraction#idk why i wrote all of this it's not actually that related to the post. like i would try to explore that hc in a fic but???#something possessed me lol. but it's written so y'all take it. ANYWAYS#rambles

Aziraphale character meta and thoughts on the end of S2.
Here I am, writing one of these posts.
There are two fundamental Tenets of Aziraphale, equally weighted, and they are:
God is good.
Crowley is good (or at the very least 'not evil')
You will notice that these two facets to Aziraphale's existence are, of course, mutually exclusive; a benevolent God would never have caused Crowley to Fall, a 'Good' Crowley would never have disobeyed a benevolent God and Fallen.
But it is absolutely integral to Aziraphale's very self that he believes equally strongly in both of these things. A kind of double-think is required to achieve this: the tenuous idea that a perfect, omnipotent God made a mistake in allowing Crowley to Fall. Or, in the passive voice as Aziraphale would no doubt phrase it (when he doesn't avoid thinking too hard about the matter altogether): A Mistake Was Made.
A mistake was made, somehow, by a God that is simultaneously incapable of error. Obviously, Crowley never should have Fallen. There was some sort of oversight or administerial miscalculation. This is how his two fundamental beliefs remain in delicate balance, neither disproving the other (mostly because he does a whole lot of Not Thinking About It Too Hard).
To doubt either side would be to absolutely shatter him.
This is my explanation for the final fifteen (and a prediction for S3).
He asks Crowley to come with him to Heaven and become an angel again because he thinks it's perfectly obvious that he never should have Fallen in the first place; reinstatement as an angel (from Aziraphale's point of view) is not a fundamental change in Crowley's nature, but merely the righting of a cosmic wrong, a return to what should be the status quo. He doesn't even see that he's asking Crowley to change anything at all other than perhaps the colour of his robe, because to him, Crowley is already an essentially Good creature ("at heart, just a little bit, a good person").
When he says "We can be together. Angels! Doing good!" - it's because he understands this is basically what they've been openly doing together this whole time, at least since the birth of the Antichrist. To his perspective, nothing changes at all except for the label on the tin.
... The tragedy is that he's wrong, of course. Not about Crowley being Good, but about God.
And Crowley knows this - it's why the line "I understand. I think I understand a whole lot better than you do" is so gentle but so devastating. The audience, not being a victim of Aziraphale's desperately white-knuckled grip on his own double-think, understands just as Crowley does.
(The only thing I think that Crowley doesn't understand - and fair enough - is where his Angel is really coming from here. Hence the heartbreak.)
My season 3 prediction: The delicate balance of The Two Tenets Of Aziraphale will finally be broken beyond any hope of recovery. Aziraphale's self will shatter. He will have to choose.
And I think when it comes down to it, we all know where his faith truly lies.
Watching him realise that is going to be just delicious.
#gnashing teeth#I want to study his angel-brain under a microscope#I want to study Neil Gaiman's writing under a literary microscope#good omens headcanon#good omens meta#character study#aziraphale#heaven is terrible#god is not great#aziraphale my stupid delusional blonde baby#literally so smart he has thought himself into a corner of stupidity

last post for the night i swear
the real tragic part about the whole science fair incident is that perpetual motion is impossible to achieve
ford’s machine would have never worked, regardless of whether or not stan had interacted with it
(warning i accidentally wrote an approximately 30-tag dive into ford’s character in the tags don’t click see more if you don’t want to read that)
anyway!! good night everyone ❤️🩹
#it’s also tragic because ford didn’t know#the impossibility of perpetual motion was discovered far before that point and yet he didn’t know#i mean. ‘he’s actually just so arrogant that he thought he could break the laws of physics’ doesn’t make any sense#his reaction to the situation really didn’t match that interpretation as far as i can tell#i don’t think it’s just a ‘oh no! my dream school (that i was essentially shoved into pursuing)!’ type deal#here’s what i’m thinking:#fact one- stan and ford were seemingly already drifting apart by this point in time. this is important to note#fact two- it’s really emphasized to him that he’s smart. that’s all they say about him really- that’s he’s a genius#fact three- filbrick does not even care enough about stanford to say his name. he calls ford his ‘ticket out of this dump’#these last two points were likely heavily emphasized to him throughout his childhood#filbrick found out ford was smart and thought stan wasn’t. so ford became his plan to make money#ford is heavily bullied for his weirdness. his hands and his interests. being smart could ‘make up’ for this in his mind#he wants to leave. he outright states this- he doesn’t feel like he belongs and he wants to go somewhere he does (his own bermuda triangle)#so what essentially happened- i believe- is that ford internalized all these things#that his weirdness is bad and that he makes up for it by being smart and that he’s meant to make his family money-#-and that he wants out#his machine fails. this is a slap in the face to him. perpetual motion is impossible?#but why didn’t he know that? he’s supposed to be smart isn’t he? if he isn’t smart then what the hell is he?#what redeeming qualities does he have? how is he supposed to help his family now? he’s a failure isn’t he?#he spots a familiar bag. stan was here. suddenly he has an excuse- a reason to believe it wasn’t his fault#(and there’s really nothing to be at fault for but he doesn’t think that)#it’s easier to blame it on stan because of how distant they’ve grown. he can’t read stan as easily#and his reaction is suspicious- did he actually sabotage the project? is it…actually not ford’s fault at all?#they don’t speak to each other again for another decade#stan because he’s afraid of rejection#ford because he doesn’t want to face his own insecurities and emotions about everything#it’s easier to pretend that he wants to be famous and isn’t just doing it to make it his father money#and it’s easier to distract himself with things he loves than to feel all the guilt and hurt and frustration#and that. is perfect for bill to use to manipulate him#that’s my thoughts anyway. sorry for the rant was not expecting that to happen
