i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

Say what you will about reboots and prequels, the new Willy Wonka was a very fun watch. I think it was full of whimsy and love. I enjoyed that the power of friendship and love was what made them happy (and helped them achieve their dreams) in the end. And I thought the whole movie was funny. There were no ironic jokes or fourth wall breaks, no subverting of expectations. You got exactly what was expected! A silly movie for kids, and it was nice.

I finally finished @thebibliosphere 's Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites and Crewel Intentions

Crewel Intentions however is just a short story and not available in print, and because I often struggle to read digitally I thought I'd print it out!

I honestly didn't intend to get so fancy with it but my stapler was too small and I tried tape but it looked ugly so... I made a whole little booklet for it!

I literally followed a wikiHow on how to bind the pages and it was so easy... this has opened up a whole avenue of booklet making opportunities for me...

im thinking about possession aftereffects that linebeck experiences immediately after the events of phantom hourglass, so here are bullet points i have down for my own ideas

he’s out cold for roughly five days after the fight. he’s conscious for a bit after being freed, but it doesn’t take long for him to collapse once he’s transported back to the great sea. link finds him when he reaches his ship to see him again (he takes a lifeboat or w/e from tetras ship its a whole thing and not the point) and ends up having to take care of him for those five-ish days.

while he’s out cold, he develops a bad fever, and has a good few physical injures from being possessed; all of his wounds from being possessed manifest as burns, the worst wounds bring cauterized and mostly closed, while smaller ones are still open wounds. the largest wound is a large burn covering most of his back, which is cauterized by the time he passes out, and then there are smaller, still open burns on his upper arms and legs. (the smaller wounds are manageable by link when he follows some medical instructions, [there are some medical books on the ship] the larger one is also manageable, but takes a lot longer to properly heal).

(link asks tetra and her crew to stick around for a while to keep linebeck stabilized while he’s unconscious. when linebeck wakes up, tetra and her crew are good to leave because then linebeck can better report what’s going on, and knows how to handle injuries).

linebeck’s fever persists after he wakes up, and he experiences… pretty much every fever symptom, with especially bad chills and full-body aches. the aches are really bad for the first few days after he wakes up, he’s extremely physically weak and shaky for a while, too. that weakness and shakiness get better with time, but he doesnt go entirely back to normal without actually moving around and doing things to build that strength back up.

he’s delirious and struggles to stay awake for those first few conscious days, too, which makes that weakness and shakiness worse; he struggles to eat and drink water, and struggles to string together thoughts or words to talk to link, and both of them figure out pretty quickly that they’ll have to wait a bit longer before so much as an attempt to coax him out of bed can be made.

beyond existing problems with food, linebeck struggles to keep anything down while he recovers, and becomes ill pretty much every time after he eats anything, so a bucket is kept near his bed. with water, he obviously needs to drink a lot of it considering that he’s feverish, injured, and vomiting frequently, but while he’s sick he has a bit of an irrational fear of water (along with an irrational fear of air and the wind, which makes him hesitant to go outside while he’s sick).

he’s generally pretty irritable, which isn’t particularly new, but it makes him prone to refusing help with certain things. he’s less irritable when tired and just resting. he’s also especially nervous, and despite the overall fatigue, he struggles to sleep for very long while he’s sick, and as said before, is often delirious and even confused when things are bad.

along with the other difficulties eating, linebeck has a hard time swallowing for a bit, and salivates a lot more than normal while he’s sick. he is soooo fucking dehydrated the whole time and that really doesn’t help.

while the weakness and shakiness stays for the entire time he’s sick and even a bit afterwards, for the first few days after he wakes up he’s stiff and also experiences some muscle spasms and numbness in his limbs, and has a hard time keeping his balance the first few times he gets out of bed.

once the sickness clears up fully, linebeck has to still be careful with the scar on his back; it’s sensitive to touch for a while and hurts when exposed to the sun or air for too long and when he stretches his back too far, but eventually just reaches the point where it’s a bit sensitive but is otherwise just a large scar.

obviously he’s also going through the wringer in an emotional and mental illness sense too but those would require a whole new bullet point list.

*sighs in post mildly broke containment again* there's nothing wrong with reading willow as a lesbian, this is a piece of fiction, and the post I made took on a jokey tone for a reason and is ultimately more about underlying bi-erasure on tv than anything else kaybye ✌

you know unlike the end-game anime cutscene that im uhh ambivalent about at best, i find this particular shot's blatant horniness unironically enjoyable

i feel like it walks the tight rope between raw and distasteful just right and the result has that twinge of tongue-in-cheek-ness that is really welcome here? like yeah you grab that mighty, hot, steamy, turgescent rod, Alphen. you grab that

So you're saying it sucks

what are your thoughts on the new season of bridgerton?

it doesnt have the grip on me it did that season 2 had but i also do not feel anything by luke newton's performance as colin bridgerton. i think nicola coughlan is a delight and great in this role, just a pity that she was paired with a human equivalence of a hospital saltine cracker. i found francesca and john's storyline and performance much more interesting and love that we are getting a sapphic twist!

i enjoy the family and side characters more and the show is really hilarious to me, im glad we got more mondriches and i hope the show actually does them justice but the showrunners and production fumble with their actors of color and storylines. but its messy, dramatic ensemble shondaland production so its got all that without the talent of shonda actually running it. she got me to sit through scandal and had me hooked! idk about the other showrunners ability to tell stories and do justice to characters tbh

also my favorite part was that the whole whistledown dramatics in the last two episodes kept being cut with benedict and his queer sexual escapades and that juxtaposition had me cracking up.

IF YOURE POSTING THE SECOND ONE TOMORROW THEN GIVE US MEMES!! I DONT CARE IF ITS A ONESHOT!!

giving hell show a watch and its confirming my feelings about it from clips ive seen: that this would be a good show if it was made by Literally Anyone Who Wasnt A Weird Pseudo Liberal. like aside from viv just being who she is the conservative shit bleeds into the concept and is really counterintuitive against the premise its kind of crazy. how are you trying to make something out of such an inherently transgressive premise and fucking it up THIS bad

No but can we talk about how re4 is literally a Gothic novel brought to life in a video game and has so many elements of 18th century Gothic horror it literally feels like reading one?? The cults and spooky religious zealot stuff. The dungeons and twisty, confusing paths through the castle. Leon's perfect replication of the Gothic hero with his cheesy one-liners and sort of foolish bravery; Ashley's dramatic tendencies and concern over him, and especially her more demure personality in the remake; all the villains who are villainous and evil just to be villains; Luis as the perfect sort of savvy sidekick. There's a sort of sense of helplessness in the face of all these giant monsters and the unforgiving landscapes, and the horror that comes with your body giving out on you despite you trying desperately to control it that edges into the territory of sublimity. A lot of Resident Evil games tap into this, actually, which I really like as a horror concept and I think it adds a lot of weight to the narrative. Obviously, a lot of horror is derived from the Gothic, but this game in particular is an almost exact replica with modern elements thrown in. I find it interesting, and I kind of want to know where the inspirations for it came from!
