AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT 4x02 "Death in the Clouds"
"It is one of Dame Agatha's most intricate plots. I like working on the longer films like this one because it gives me an opportunity to develop the character, but even more than that, I thought it was wonderful that a series like ours was now capable of going to Paris, even if only for a few days. I kept pinching myself to make sure it was true." - David Suchet, Poirot and Me

unnecessarily sad over the inherent tragedy of comic book characters like batman. he loves his city and he wants everybody to be safe and he hopes that one day gotham will no longer need batman but that will never happen because the story can't end. his city will never get its forever happy ending because that doesn't sell comics. quite literally doomed by the narrative because the story must go on. crazy. sucks for that guy.
#thinking about the end of death in the family#“find the body.“ // ”but i know they won't. that's the way things always end with the joker and me. unresolved.”#(that's not exact it's from memory don't yell at me)#wanting joker stopped but feeling like there's some mysterious force (the writers) in the universe (the comic) always keeping him alive#dc give him a happy ending right the fuck now (don't. i love watching him suffer)#i'm just coming out of a three day long migraine and this is the first almost coherent thought i've had. i want to sleep.#bruce wayne#batman

Can you guess how many fan child of smg34 being created in tik tok and tumblr?
There's like thousands of them-
(Man 3 and 4 are getting very busy lately in the igloo-)
I love SMG34 fan kids I think they're great, I do think they're all bestowed upon them through some kind of divine intervention though because you know they wouldn't stand for carrying a child, they'd abort that thing immediately.
#mangos mystery ask box#sorry. abort that thing immediately is such a verbal stim to me i can;t stop saying it. on my mind always#I haven't seen all of them but I do genuinly love all the ones i've seen they're all so creative :3

I don't know if I'm excited or frustrated at the 'future children' angle for Susan's origin. On one hand... I'm very interested in the possible links to the likes of Miranda, the Other etc.
On the other hand... ok confession time: This may make me a minority in the fandom, but I actually really dislike the 80s-90s retcons of Susan's origin. (Birth of a Renegade, Lungbarrow etc.)
I kinda just like her and the Doctor being some of the last surviving members of what was once a family on Gallifrey. I find the mystery and tragedy of what happened on Gallifrey, with implied student uprisings and political assassinations, far more intriguing than any twists saying "actually she's not really his granddaughter". Fortunately, some things can be canonwelded into that (eg. Susan really could be also related to the president / descended from Rassilon), but stuff that actually gives her an origin elsewhere is always a pain.
Idk. I just see once being a parent (and losing it all tragically) as such a crucial part of the Doctor's background and Susan fits very well into that as far as I'm concerned. Anything disconnecting her from that, or worse erasing it completely, ultimately damages what I find to be one of the most compelling things about the Doctor and Susan. :/
The few posts I've already seen talking about this suggests this is an unpopular opinion, but I'd be interested to know what people think, and if they agree or disagree...
#Doctor Who#The Legend of Ruby Sunday#Susan Foreman#Doctor Who Spoilers#DW Spoilers#DW Meta#DW Theory#and I guess....#(light)#DW Negativity#like... as much as I love the pseudocanonicity of looms this is one issue I've always had with them#and is part of the reason I much prefer stuff like Penelope and Ulysses#It's just like the Doctor tbh#I love having many different possible origins and mysteries#but the second we start 'canonically' going one way or another you kinda lose me#this is also my issue with the Timeless Child as you're probably tired of hearing from me by now#as a 'possible' origin for the Doctor: genuinely delightful; stunning#as “THE” origin of the Doctor:...nah.#I also never hand an issue with the question of 'where did she come from' 'where are her parents' etc.#they're dead obviously#why they're dead and who they were is the interesting quesion#and part of what makes the Doctor 'Who'

It's quite funny having followed you for years and years and knowing Machete as his dark, bloodied, cunning (and always on the edge of getting horribly murdered for his hubris) incarnation, and coming into 2024 and just... yeah he's gay now. Maybe he's even happy. Redemption at last... perhaps he DID get assassinated indeed and all those AUs are just his personal afterlife (does he get to go to Heaven? Seems so!)
.
#redemption at last#personally I've always known he isn't as cool and cunning as he pretends to be#but when he didn't have anyone to interact with the dorkier more humane side never surfaced#the art I made of him was overwhelmingly serious and angry and sad and portrayed him in a more mysterious light#I didn't really talk about him or answer asks about what his deal is#(or any of my characters for that matter for years I just didn't feel comfortable opening up about them)#which is fine on it's own but I think he's currently benefitting from having a wider spectrum of emotions to choose from#doesn't mean that the dark bloodied cunning version is outdated I think these are traits that can coexist in a single character#answered#anonymous#but in a way seeing that he can be happy caring and genuine and gets tummy aches and likes snails and fresh bread#and has a small handful of loved ones and these positive qualities you might've not known about before#makes the misery more potent when they are taken away from him#at least in my opinion

something that makes me sad is when people tell me the healthy communication in my writing is "unrealistic."
like guys this is how me and my partner talk with eachother... I'm writing from personal experience...
#like it's sad both on the front of 'dehumanizing my real life'#but also on the front of 'you deserve to have healthy communication in your life'#like if you think this is unrealistic it means more than likely you havent experienced someone being patient and understanding with you#and that makes me very very sad#I'm sorry#also it's just rude to tell me my writing is unrealistic LOL like hey#real people talk all kinds of ways. shut up#I've been told it's also in part cause they always understand their own feelings when theyre talking#but I'm like...#theyre like mid 30-early 40 and theyre immortal and theyre going through a lot of shit#I feel like theyve thought about it a lot#also the comic takes place over the course of a year so far#we're seeing the big moments and the fun mysteries#so#its about grown men who love eachother#sorry that they think about what they want to say before they say it#also as if adam isnt constantly wrong and steve isnt constantly pushing shit down#he's only JUST RECENTLY starting to share his emotions as they come up#instead of pretending theyre not there and letting things boil over#I think people just THINK theyre communicating way too clearly because their partner#who loves them#is listening and responding with kindness#like..#idk I have a lot of thoughts about this#would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE for this to spark a discussion#and especially for it to cause people to reread a little more critically#and perhaps even introspect on their own ideas of communication standards#I've been with my partner for 10 years. this is how we talk to eachother

Front facing Wizard Celebi 💪
Went through the teen plushie liker plight of being made fun of for an impulse buy two seconds after and hating this guy for a while because of that but I've come around because look at that face. Look at that cloak and leaf hat. I'd let them curse my bloodline
oh this is fucking adorable. i didn't know a Wizard Celebi aesthetic even existed, unless this is unofficial—the only thing i remember was the thing they did for halloween one time. i like this. this is good. here have some nose ratings about it:
dunno about wimpod. i feel like they're just scared. typically this is not a very Good emotion to have. i think it's in the name. Wimp od
#not pkmn#nose ratings#celebi in general is a pokémon i hold a lot of love for because i always seemed to encounter it as a kid#pokémon 4ever. i think i've talked about before how i used to like. fall asleep to that movie every night. and so i have the whole#fuckin script memorized. but then also at one point i ended up getting a celebi mystery gift from fuckin. gamestop. on pokémon diamond#which was the first event i had ever like. gone to? and i remember getting it and then trynna use it but it kept like. disobeying me#because the OT wasn't me and it was level 100. and i'd only beaten like. 2 gyms#but i thought it hated me and that's why it wouldn't listen to me. so i kept using it in battle and always had it at the front of my party#so that it would like me because i just had no idea you needed to beat the gyms to make it listen to you#and i didn't even know where to go. for the gyms. i was not very good at the game. so i just never got it to “like” me#and i ended up brushing it off as “wow‚ mythical pokémon are really high-maintenance!”

...am I just losing my mind or did yer icon become evil? I don't remember that BeAst behind Boe
yuuuump always been behind me
#ask#anon#pazuzu's just been there since the beginning#mainly because my avatar use to be of 2D in front of the d-sides album cover. or atleast one of the covers#and i had a lot of transparent edits of 2D over that cover#but when i had Boe made. i put him over it instead and i just kinda kept it like that cause i thought the colours together were really nice#as for the blurry swirls. i just like doing simple effects in paintdotnet#i don't really imagine them as much besides the blurriness of the minds eye. like this is how you'd see the inside of my brain maybe.#or not really my brain. boes minds eye maybe.#i don't know if i have a ''lore explanation'' for pazuzu in Boe's life in limbo/hell#or specifically in relation to Boe i mean#i'd still like to actually visualize what limbo looks like. or specifically the area in limbo in which Boe lives#which is just an old manor in the middle of nowhere. with old computer crts and keyboards in the mud of his back yard#dark purplish skies with maybe blueish roaming fields with no horizon#i do have a map file of me trying to create what i imagine to be Boes house but i've only blocked out his porch#i've got a loose idea of what the layout of his house's interior is like but nothing solid honestly#the reason he lives in an old manor is due to mystery case files: ravenhearst. inspiration-wise#use to play that growing up from bigfishgames. fucking love the look of that manor and the intense mess that resides within#i think i also think about the Gorillaz' o green world phase where they had kong studio's absolutely trashed with junk and shit#did actually buy MCF Ravenhearst the other day actually. specifically for higher res ref images of rooms#played a little of it the other day but i was so tired for most of that day so i didnt play for long#anyway. thank you for the ask anon :) yeah he's always been there. pazuzu kinda just blends into the background i think

I know I made a post on it somewhere but I can't find it so Imma just make a new thing to talk about it;
Look Imma be real out of everything in FMA arguably one of the most fucked up, wtf moments has to be from the short little side story in the manga / anime OVA The Blind Alchemist.
So first of all we have a (wealthy) couple who have lost their daughter, a servant of the family and fellow Alchemist makes his own attempt at human transmuation . Unsurprisingly it obviously doesn't work but not wanting to break his heart/hurt him the parents lie to the poor man that it succeeded and instead adopted this little girl to act as their daughter Rosalie
Kinda fucked up but I mean girl doesn't seem to bothered and is happy to have a home so all good on that front.
Where it gets into the really creepy almost SUPERNATURAL side of things is that.... uh well the REAL Rosalie is like not dead??? Like her body is clearly in an almost mummified definitely dead state but like not rotting and you see it SMILE there is heavy implication that although he couldn't revive his daughter SOMETHING has come to take possession of her body but what it is who knows.
Like what??
Did... did this man accidentally open a portal and summon a Demon?? Arakawa please explain WHAT THE FUCK IS IN THEIR IF IT"S NOT ROSALIE
Quote from the story
Al; She's alive?
(Fake)Rosalie; I'm not sure you could call it that. She's been like this for a long time now but nobody knows whether who's inside is the real Rosalie. It might not be her that's in there
--
And then because it was just a short story written for the first fma Profile book just never gets expanded on. No further info nothing.
--
So like this implies that again while resurrecting someone is impossible at the same time like there's a chance that SOMETHING could still end up inside the body instead??
--
But like at the same time this offers such interesting like material to play with and use for fics/rps
#fma#fmab#clearly what this man preferomed was a demonic summoning ritual not human transmuation#more people need to read these short stories/watch the ovas#or at least that one#I always see Mustang's and Izumi's story talked about (which fair) but like never the Rosalie story#which just has such horror and mystery elements#also with all the fma react videos I've seen god I'd love to see more tackle the ovas#ngl I think the Rosalie one might be my fav (but not by much their all real close cause they all good)
