“Mistakes on mistakes until” ch 69 spoilers below!
Ahahahahahahah here I go again
Mistakes on mistakes until until I can draw Jazz with my eyes closed
I woke up, checked my phone, woke up for real and decided that whatever plans I had for this day yeah no they can wait a little bit kfkgnfk
Also. Consider listening this while reading. Or don't who am I to tell you what to do~
#maccadam#transformers#Jazz#Meister#Starscream#L I S T E N#I THINK#The “Jazz” is a hologram and “Meister” is the Real Jazz#because yeah It totally makes sense. Soundwave touched Meister so Meister must be real. And Hound could just create the hologram of Jazz#but....b u t#I can't stop thinking that there's might be something more#like...Hound wasn't exactly wery well hidden. For the love of god STArScream saw him and talked about him#and we all know than Soundwave is a fucking all seeing eye of Sauron when it comes to watching suspicious activity#I...fuckin...listen ok#Meister's plan with second Jazz is so damn clever bc it would literally show to Soundwave how Jazz and Meister can stand in the same room#but I can't help but feel that Sounders is inevitably going to discover Hound and unlike Starscream he surely knows what Hounds “thing” is#or maybe I'm just paranoid. .#maybe Jazz..I mean Meister knows something I don't#i mean duh of course he does#augh I need to stop before by brain spins itself to shreds#This fic made me overthink every detail with double intensity haha#Also. ALSO. We might see the confrontation between Meister and Jazz I feel. we might. it makes me want to giggle for some reson kgkgkg#fic fanart#momu fanart

We've all suffered in these dark times. It is little wonder you bear scars of pain and anguish.
#abdirak#bg3 abdirak#gale dekarios#bg3#baldur's gate 3#gale#bg3edit#bg3 gale#my gifs#my gifs: bg3#feel like this dialogue fits gale the most because i can imagine him saying “clever man”#and i think he would be curious enough about abdirak's deductions to confess something is wrong#but also i just wanted to gif the cute sad face he makes

Palindr(amatic)
this poem is backwards
here are our factors:
if my head is screwed on the wrong way —
if the stories all sound the same —
if I first adjusted my aim
would it matter
if this trouble I first circumvent
if nothing exists but what's dreamt —
if the start is the end —
you could never tell that I lack words
if this poem is backwards
~ xoxo, Love yoU (either way)
#I'd like to think this is clever but honestly it's probably just a reach#you can read it either way though if you have a strange and esoteric brain like mine#Lu writes#sometimes I think I could write poetry#I think the rhyme scheme here is something like AABBBACCCAA????

Never understood people who say Five is 'too soft' because... have we been watching the same show? Were they asleep during the first season, which he spends being dismissive and cold with Adric, an issue that was never resolved when Adric was brutally killed? Do they, like many of the show's adversaries, mistake his outward appearance of 'harmless, affable English fellow' for weakness, even though he could switch from that to being your worst enemy on a dime? His continued dry humour, now bitter and sarcastic, in the face of danger or evil is one of the character's most compelling aspects. He hardly changes his outward demeanour, and his continued affected politeness makes him seem all the more dangerous as you see the fury and outrage boiling underneath, and you see a plan form behind his steely eyes.
And if he is sentimental sometimes, why do they see it as being 'too soft', instead of what it truly is: a need to atone, after the universe punished him for his harshness towards Adric in the worst possible way? Adric's death haunts Five for the rest of his life, and you can actually see it in Davison's portrayal, even if no mention of Adric occurs in the script. You can see Adric's ghost in the wild desperation in Five's eyes during his final serial, while he rushes to give his life to save his companion. Because he cannot let this happen again because of him. And the last word out of his mouth as he dies is 'Adric', as we come to the heart-wrenching realisation that his mind is not filled with his own imminent doom but with thoughts of that poor boy, of how he killed him, of how he never got to show how much he cared for him. Of how much it hurt that he could almost be forgiven by trading his life for Peri's, but still he could never go back and save Adric.
And that's why my blood boils when people say he's 'too soft'. He's one of the few classic doctors with a character arc, for god's sake, and it's all about him being too harsh.
#doctor who#classic who#classic doctor who#fifth doctor#peter davison#maybe people just haven't seen enough of Five's run to see the progression#but still the whole 'dangerous sarcasm' thing should be obvious even from a few episodes#maybe the whole 'gentleman' act isn't something that appeals to all viewers#like for me i dislike seven's clown act#but i can still see he's dangerous and clever underneath. i don't actually think he's stupid#whereas so many people seem to think that five just is 'friendly cricket guy' all the way through

I've seen a lot of people don't like "franmaya sets up narumitsu" so I raise you
franmaya sets up faraskye, then faraskye sets up narumitsu
or alternatively, for maximum chaos, WHILE. But then the head chef at the fancy restaurant gets murdered and they have to investigate together while not giving away the plan. "It was all a set-up!" gets said twice in very different contexts
#ace attorney#franmaya#faraskye#narumitsu#I recognize this doesn't fix all the problems with that prompt but I do think it makes more sense for the characters#Franziska would not do that for Edgeworth and Phoenix; she might do that for Kay - a genuine friend of hers she's kind towards#Maya says she can work it out but both her and Fran quickly run out of ideas#Ema and Kay are two of Edgeworth's biggest fans & think they're so clever they can resolve this. Probably rope in Gumshoe to do something#also I added the murder because I would actually read that & everyone would be an active participant in the plot.#[Reposted with revised wording & tags because I overreacted to a comment. added the murder bit because it made things more interesting.]

What happens if Bells Hells go through with the Arch Heart’s Plan?
Transcript from C3.108, Looming
Remember this?
Asmodeus answered Braius's prayer to say "Don't worry babe, if Predathos is released and some of the gods run, he'll get lured away and I'll chill here".
What does happen if Predathos is released, and Imogen/Fearne are strong enough to channel it into chasing away the gods from Exandria? The only god who has actually confirmed that they would run is Corellon. Asmodeus said “when the cats are away, the mice will play!” and the Raven Queen said verbatim "I will not flee." It was suggested that the Wildmother is too enmeshed in Exandria itself to even be able to leave. What the rest of the gods might do remains a mystery, but it stands to reason that many of them might fall into one of these two camps of I’m not leaving! (I imagine that Erathis, for example, might choose not to flee out of a deep sense of responsibility to mortals, and love for Melora)
The result then is not a world with all the gods conveniently leading Predathos away on a merry chase. Maybe Predathos does go after Corellon (as the most delicious looking god) and any others who flee, leaving the balance of the remaining deities skewed. Maybe the remaining gods are sitting ducks behind the divine gate, and Predathos goes for them instead. Maybe the Matron is devoured, or goes into hiding, and there’s no one left to oppose the dissolution of the divine gate and we get the “second calamity” that Bells Hells thinks they’re trying to prevent.
Now, Braius didn’t tell anyone in Bells Hells this. I’m not even sure if Sam remembers it, let alone the rest of the cast. But the fact remains that, after the colossal unknown that is the release of Predathos, there are a a whole cascade of question marks as the primes and betrayers react to the situation.
As Orym put it (way back in episode 44), that’s a pretty big trust fall.
#this scene has been haunting me since it happened (and i feel like the only one)#but even without this scene!#the arch heart says ‘oh yeah we’ll all run’ and you just BELIEVE THEM?#the raven queen says ‘I will not flee. I’m a clever girl’#and your TAKEAWAY IS THAT SHE AGREES WITH THE ARCH HEART???!?!??#i’m gonna throw something#anyway#there are a bunch of gods who do not agree on anything#and bells hells assuming they can predict how they will act#is JUST AS FOOLISH as thinking they can predict predathos#save me orym please#critical role#campaign 3#braius doomseed#asmodeus#downfall#corellon#bells hells#cr discourse#i just spent WAY too long on this post and i so rarely write meta#cr meta

i have a special place in my heart for "show don't tell" storytelling, especially in comic books. comics are a visual medium!
#tim drake#jack drake#comic ref in description#this is the last panel of the comic#and something i really like about it is that i feel like... it has a certain amount of respect for the reader?#you might not notice/get the irony of the batsignal showing up behind them#and the way the batsignal foreshadows that actually this /isn't/ a resolved happy ending#because the conflict between bruce and jack - and more directly between tim's values/priorities vs. his dad's -#hasn't actually been resolved even though they're both sorry and hugging#which means the conflict will inevitably occur again and again and again#which is a very clever grace note here#but if you don't notice that's okay! the comic isn't panicking trying to spell it out for you#if you catch it it's fine and if you don't catch it that's also fine#it has something that i really like about a lot of older comics and sometimes find missing in new ones (at least the ones abt the blorbos)#which is that it assumes that the /readers/ can realize things abt the situation that the /characters/ don't#i read both tim and his dad as both perfectly sincere in this reconciliation - they're caught up in the moment#and physically neither of them can see the batsignal#but we-the-readers can see both the batsignal and the looming future conflicts it implies even though they don't#the narrative isn't telling you what to think! no character emerged to announce 'But In Fact Tim You Still Have A Problem!'#instead the artist has just left the batsignal there and let you make the obvious inferences ON YOUR OWN#similarly in nightwing 110 (another one of my favorites) there's a conversation between dick and tim where they're both lying#if you're only a nightwing reader you know dick is lying but you probably won't figure out that tim is lying (or at least not the extent)#but if you /do/ read tim's comics then you understand what's going on in a way that neither of the characters do#there's just a general understanding that the characters are not fully self-aware nor do they perfectly understand each other#plus the gradual / slow-build / layered conflict#tim's mixed loyalties between bruce and his dad are a constant background slow burn tension#dick's complicated feelings about loving tim but also feeling a little threatened by him are also a low-key thread in the nightwing comics#the writers don't need to have a surprise! sudden! fight! nor do they need all-fluff-all-the-time#instead these tensions are mostly dormant except when they get exacerbated by extreme situations#there are plenty of things that 90s comics do *not* handle well but the character voices and longform style always draw me back <3

part of me is so so tempted to make like.
an afk arena fanfic thats short and sweet and like some stories about eugavus & their kids, mainly during the time where they are still looking for a new living space after the prison break
mainly bc i have two little ideas i wanna do ,,,,
#afk arena#afk eugene#afk gavus#afk liberta#afk lucilla#eugavus#i think#that they deserve to have a fanfic dedicated to that little portion of their life#like the ups the downs and what have you#imagine gavus and eugene learning their funny silly little baby girl uses unnecessary violence now#and she doesnt see the issue with it bc to her its justified usage#imagine they see their little darling sleepy boy whos so willing to put himself in the grip of death#because his magic is built for healing and he sees it as the most logical thing to do#but also imagine eugene showing lucilla how to channel that unnecessary violence into something more clever#hes not saying get rid of it hes saying turn it into necessary violence#‘’so you wont get told off by your papa’’ kinda deal#imagine gavus sitting liberta down after a particularly bad day full of disagreements on how liberta uses his magic#and admitting to liberta that yes he can heal himself but its scary every time for gavus and eugene and lucilla#that the reason they keep getting upset isnt bc theyre mad at liberta but terrified that he’ll take a hit for them#for his PARENTS (the people who are supposed to be protecting him)#and he won’t get up#yeah i have thougthts anyways

happy 1 year anniversary to the election results that were so fucked they had me trying to take my mind off of things by watching what seemed like a toxic chinese queerbait show only to find something far more thoughtful and genuinely queer and interesting than expected and end up watching a bunch more unrelated things that are talked about in vaguely the same realms of the internet and then watch bad buddy twice in a row and fall into an endless bingewatch of thai media (some of which is mediocre, some of which is bad, much of which is simply pretty good, and some of which is genuinely incredible) and go, well, it would be a waste of all this language input i'm accidentally giving myself right now if i didn't at least learn a few words. thus accidentally locking myself into watching even more thai media because now i gain serotonin from hearing a sentence i know i could write
#this is about the dutch general elections of 2023. i know another election is probably still on most people's minds#it feels WILD that it's only been a year. and at the same time. the government they eventually formed based on those votes#is still hanging in there. and it feels like THAT's been going on for way longer than a year#*#ah well in happier news! i think it's the way part of me is forever roaming the internet in 2011#but even when a BL (or GL! which is finally picking up!) series is bad. or just boring.#there is something in me that can't help but go !! oh my god? there's a hundred of these out there??#and we can argue definitions and representation and fetishization. but there are So Many queer people working on them these days#and not all but many of these stories are insightful and kind and clever and have a very queer beating heart inside of them#(and there's also something to be said for queer trash tv. that has a place! but i won't get into it)#and this is really truly only a thing of the past few years!!! this did not exist when i was a teen!!!#i'm still so young but i'm EASILY old enough to remember that. and now All Of That is just out there. often on youtube for free#if you are a teen TODAY you don't need to pick between settling for watching tara die on btvs. watching ianto die on torchwood#or watching queer as folk. which is not a knock on qaf but it's not necessarily tv for teens#instead there's like. dozens of queer people on modern western tv! there are ever more queer movies where nobody dies!#and there's just a goddamn fucking impossible-to-watch-in-one-lifetime amount of guaranteed happy end BL series out there#and it's insane!!! that is insane to me!!!#and is also maybe a good thing to remember in current times. things can and do change for the better#sometimes in ways you might not expect. sometimes you might not even know it's happening. but it does

suggestion do you have... any wants? like obviously you do but like? suggestion my guy my ourple boy. both the easiest and hardest to write. you need a skill to say something to move conversation along but it doesn't fit any skill in particular? about 80% of the time you can have suggestion say it and it will make sense. but like actually characterizing him... how do i define you dude... what makes your character tick... urgh. i dont get you yet. im trying to understand but you are difficult.
#chemi chats#there are some skills that i just dont understand yet and that just means i have to work on their character study chapter#im reading his bio and i think suggestion is a good manipulator and it's instinctive and he tries not to feel bad about it?#he's clever!! charming!! friends with savvy and drama. planting seeds in the mind and coaxing them to grow towards him like he's the sun.#a crude oil reservoir lying beneath a carefully laid flower bed. taps into the roots. the plants don't know any better than to drink.#he's great at sensing what makes people tick and uses that to his advantage. he needs goals to look forward to so he knows how to best#pull the strings to get them there. otherwise he's a bit aimless. he likes being useful. and since influencing others is helpful#he just keeps doing it? because it's what he's good at. and he tries to convince himself its fun and cool and just cuz hes charming and#it's his role as a skill and manipulation isnt thaaaat bad because it's helpful to them after all... but he does feel bad sometimes.#oh im listening to his voice lines and i just got to ''brother you should have put me in front of a firing squad'' and im sad about him now#but what do you want for short term little guy?? probably for people to like him. he likes chatting with people. i bet he'd like genuine#conversations with no strings attached but there's always some part of him filing information and tidbits away that he can't turn off#subconsciously figuring out things he can hold over them or how he can nudge them into thinking someth-/wait.../ no. no he's just talking.#he's /supposed/ to just be talking stop analyzing them stop falling back into that just have a normal conversation!! but he can't help it..#hm. this is all really helpful for his chapter. he and empathy are very alike but also different. very interesting...#task: swept up#okay good talk everyone i think i understand him a little better now lmao?? still gotta figure him out some more hes not fully there but ye#also i think he goes by whatever pronoun you think he'd use. just ''oh what do /you/ think i am hm?? what /would/ i use; do you think?? :)'#funny fella. i love you.

do you guys think aziraphale heard the myth of prometheus for the first time and lost his mind a little
#marzi speaks#good omens#aziraphale#this is lighthearted but also not at all. i just don’t have big words rn#can you imagine though. aziraphale is gomensverse’s prometheus#he brought humans fire.#do you think he heard of prometheus and suddenly his fear of disobeying god reared its ugly head with a vengeance#do you think he remembered lying to god about it. wondered if it was that that would do him in instead of the original theft#do you think he spent nights upon nights wondering when he would be chained to his rock#wondering when his crow would come eat his liver for all of eternity#do you think he wondered if it already had?#not in the shape of a crow- but of a snake- a charming snake that slithered over and ate his heart again and again and again#he had appeared shortly after aziraphale gave up the sword; after all. aziraphale told him and everything#perhaps that was his punishment. perhaps She was playing a cruel little game by sending him someone he wanted so much but could never have#maybe that was the rock. the chain. the inability to move- to do anything more than sit there in anguish#the crow came in the form of that sharp mind and clever tongue. it dug straight to the core of his heart and tore it to shreds#picked it apart; observed; and ate#do you think he worried on and off about that for centuries. millenia#do you think he thought about it every time that demon of his did something so utterly charming#‘oh- there’s another piece of my heart- a morsel for him to savor again and again’#do you think he thought about it when he kissed. felt those lips on his like a sharp beak straight through his body#do you think he minded. do you think he thought ‘i would lay in these chains forever if you would just do that again; right now.’#do you think he broke those chains anyway.#I’M INSAAANE turns out i did have big words for it

It was a red herring. All of it was. She put the whole thing on her website and everything. Really clever marketing.
Yeah… and again I think plays into the “you think you know me but you don’t really know what goes on in my life unless I choose to show you” vibe.
#my unpopular opinion is that as clever as it all was#i do think it contributed to more (needless) attacks on j*e than were merited#and before anyone gets their shorts in a knot I’m not a defender of his i barely know of the guy#but her mashups — as brilliant as they were — also led people to believe he’d done something truly heinous#when it seems clear now that his actions were far more pedestrian#like — he’s a grown ass man he can defend himself so i won’t be doing it#I’m just saying that i think a byproduct of the prerelease promo on stage and otherwise stoked flames a little needlessly#anyway written in invisible ink or whatever i may delete these tags lol#but nobody is around tonight
