In X2 Logan snuffs out his cigar in his hand in the cerebro room and POOR CHARLES HAS TO SIT THERE AWKWARDLY AND LISTEN TO LOGAN GETTING TURNED ON BY BURNING HIMSELF BRUH. Charles' face during that whole scene is just... "Come on man right in front of my salad?"

X2 is often regarded as the best movie of the original trilogy and bits like Logan Getting A Hard On In The Cerebro Room Because He's A Masochist While Charles Is Trying Really Hard To Work is definitely one of them

#snap chats #PLEASE ITS MY FAVORITE #LIKE CMON DAWG..... ik charles a freak What Goes Around Comes Around BUT CMON DAWG #NOT IN THE CEREBRO ROOM HAVE SOME DECORUM #also hi everyone i just came back from a club meeting. isnt that fun i go to clubs now <- it was the last meeting of the semester #was horrified to learn that people on campus Do recognize me and acknowledge i exist #on the plus side they all think my kirby headphones are very sexy and my outfits are also very sexy so hey. maybe existing's ok #what isnt sexy about this outfit is that its another corset top and i am once again going up three flights of stairs later #'snap stop investing in corset tops' ok first off i havent even bought a corset top in months. step off me. AND i only own two #and second off I Will Not so ill just have to die this way

'wow beetlebabes shippers have NO media literacy didn't they see how TRAUMATIZED Lydia was by her past with Beetlejuice????!? she's literally TERRIFIED OF HIm omg yall are SO DUMB'

I mean...she literally summoned him again to get his help and then brought up marriage within 10 secs of doing that and, at worst, just seemed mildly annoyed by the idea/him. See, I think if you actually have unbiased media literacy, you can recognize that Lydia's issues don't stem from Beetlejuice specifically, she isn't inherently frightened of him (and to suggest so is to completely misunderstand and infantilize her character imo, she never was frightened of him give me a fucking break lol) so much as she is by the reminder of her inherent connection to the afterlife, which ironically she's trying to fight against despite having a successful show about it. Like, again yall, it's fine if you don't like the pairing. It's fine if it grosses you out. What is wholly unnecessary is the suggestion that people who do like it are somehow media illiterate or just 'not as smart as you' or just not getting some elusive concept that only super intelligent moral people can for not also thinking it's gross. You aren't smarter, you just have a different preference for interpreting and enjoying the story. There was a time more people understood that concept.

And not for nothing, but despite your HIGH INTELLIGENCE some of yall still don't know how to tag your anti posts so they don't show up in the shipping tag- though I kind of suspect that's on purpose to try to start shit where there doesn't need to be any, but still, show me how so much smarter you are than me by censoring beetlebabes in a hater post just once challenge (level: impossible)

#beetlebabes #same post tried to say that there's a toxicity parallel between astrid and ghost boy and beetlejuice and lydia #despite the parallel being that beej reverses ALL of them #'he's just like ghost boy!!' no? he isn't? honestly did any of yall watch the movie at all???#if anything ghost boy is there to show that Beej definitely isn't the villain this time around #telling me i don't have media literacy when yall wildly misinterpret this entire franchise on a daily basis lmaooo #ig i just need to stop looking in the tag bc every single time there's some new bozo crossposting this nonsense #but i mean these are the same people saying a woman in her 50's is a child so yknow #reinventing fact to suit their narrative is just kinda par for the course lol #what's also weird is that they like...love beej as a character and have him as their pfps #but then make him out to be the worst most toxic evil character imaginable to justify their hatred of shipping him with lydia ???#make it make sense chat

Hi guys, this is usually what a doodle page ends up looking like <3 (oh, and @ancha-aus thought you might like this! Not writing but certainly fuel to my fire lol-)

This one is New Age filled!!! (Close-ups abd Lore beneath the cut!)

1) Night and Cross!

Night is actually very clingy once he's a teen. He doesn't usually realize it, but around the castle he'll snake to be closer to his Knights so long as there's no one he needs to keep his composure infront of is nearby. Cross is the one who's not used to physical touch (when it's not Ink ofc) so Night in his personal bubble makes his heart melt but also scares tf out of him <3

2) Error and Night's Meeting!

Error was carrying his whole life on his back and trying not to get arrested for unintentional property damage at this point, so when he saw the chance to get back at his brother and prove he was strong enough? Yeah, he got that on chance instantly. And was VERY smug when Nightmare chose him. (Also, Error is wearing gloves, so less Haphephobia)

3) Dream and Blue designs!

I think these are good tentative designs! Dream probably has a more regal fit, but he likes to play up that rugged exile look- He's inspired by Archers, while Blue takes on that classic Knightly-vibe. Their equipment is mostly stolen from Night's troops or brought with them from Blue's home kingdom.

Also, Dream is approx Killer's height at this point, shorter than Cross and *much* shorter than Apple!Nightmare. (Hc that Skeletons tend to be tinier in stature thanks to weird monster beauty standards. Horror and Geno's fam are outliers.)

4) Horror and Dust designs!

Horror is naturally a very *large* monster. He's very malnourished when Nightmare meets him, but by the time he's a Knight Nightmare has made sure that's no longer the case. He actually loves comfy, simple clothes, but to play up the whole 'strong mysterious' bit he wears a more barbaric Knight's garb. He doesn't mind acting scary, it's more fun that way :]. Dust is very very small, and envies horror sometimes for his size, but his tiny stature let's him control his body and move a lot quicker. He's very much based on a rogue, and usually covers the lower part of his face w/ a black cloth, and the upper part w/ his hood or mask. Dust only removes both to bathe, eat, or relax in a safe location. (Ignore that I can't draw the stupid gaster blaster lmao-)

These last two were space-fillers, but Cross and his Borzoi (Windmill, otherwise known as Milly (Killer named her-)) and really bad first wips of Ccino! I think Ccino was a chubby, happy toddler, but lost a lot of 'weight' (bone mass? Magic?) due to stress and pressure and bad eating habits. So it isn't until a while after the Coronation that he starts to relax abd feel safe enough to eat normal meals (Nightmare used to guilt him into eating snacks together, but as his boss (and younger brother) he can encourage it more often). By the time Killer shows he's still not quite healthy, but he's better. As more weight is lifted off his shoulders, the better he is. (That 'beauty' most people saw was a more stereotypical slimness, but Killer never stopped seeing Ccino as beautiful-) I think he never looked traditionally underweight, so no one noticed, and it was only much later that Night processed it. (And maybe it's why Dream hardly recognized him later on-)

#new age au #I love showing mundane life things-#and also these designs beamed into my brain #I can't draw Ccino for anything but the others? yeag #Blue is definitely my fave. and just like every au I will draw Blue perfect the first time and draw Dust 6 billion times 😔#Horror is kinda banger too tho #makes me laugh to imagine Horror picking up Dust mid-fight out of convenience and Dust weighs nothing to him #(also this size difference is exactly why Dust and Horror fight in the non-magic training. and why Horror accidentally obliterated his #shoulder later on lmao- Dust needs to be able to dodge any enemy. Horror needs to aim for small and quick targets.)#(Meanwhile Cross is the newest and Killer the oldest and if Cross adapts to Killer then he'll adapt to the others more easily.)#oh! and Ccino w/ his arc? I think I really like the idea of a Ccino with a plump body-type. but that conflicts with my vidion of Ccino kinda #losing track of eating and being co-erced by adults to skip meals just enough to make him the 'right amount' of curvy #so when Nightmare takes over it's a habit he's so used to he hardly notices that he's doing it. but. Night picks up on it because Ccino is #almost akways with him. their relationship is very much Ccino giving his life to help Night #but it's also Night recognizing that and giving it back to Ccino along with more the moment he can #just smth smth this au is full of fit and exercized people and I think Ccino deserves some comfort and healing and positivity <3 #also I am SO fond of Nightmare getting up in people's bubbles. he does it most to Killer and Ccino for obvious reasons but #god forbid a noble be talking behind his back because he *will* twist around and shove under his knight's arms or sides just to #read them the riot act or stare them down <3 #and I think when he was an adult Night was... kinda like the big brother? like. not an experienced one by any means. but he wasn't *not*#affectionate then either. he was better at being serious about it and more discreet. but like #Nervous Cross escorting him in public? Night nudges his shoulder briefly with a Tendril to try and comfort him. Dust having a magic overload #? personal Training against just Night so there was no risk of harming anyone else. then snacks and tea after.#Horror is homesick? Woah look at that a scheduled trip back to visit with Crop and side-track back to Horror's village? huh?? wild...#Killer upset at all? Night will find a solution. just you wait. a cat. two cats. perhaps even a cat in a little sweater? or y'know. just a #chat or a combat?#Nightmare showed his affections but was just more distant about it.#Oh also. all four were used to tendrils lifting/tugging them subconsciously. usually during trainings to avoid them hurting eachother by #mistake in their early days. Killer misses it sometimes

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

#facebook always does that 'here's a post from this day 8 years ago' thing. and I see old comments interacting #with people and it's so like.. OOOOO~~ where are they now?? what's going on? how much have they changed as people?#how much are they the same? this is fascinating. i should contact them!!' but then it's like... take that to it's logical conclusion though #you would contact them and then IF they even responded it would take you 80 years to respond and then they would #think there was something wrong or that you were trying to be insulting or something. To contact anyone I need to include an 85 page #disclaimer of all of my social issues & mental illness things. 'If i take 3 weeks to reply I promise it has nothing to do with u' etc lol #THIS is why more people need to be into phone calls/voice calls/some form of audio real time communication/etc.#I think one of the main things that's hard about messaging through text for me is it's so unscheduled and open ended #(plus it takes forever if you're talking about anything in detail and gets very long very quickly)#because like you can send a message and then just get a reply whenever. and then you're expected to reply back whenever #so it's like you never know when the response will come or when a new obligation to reply can come up? so it's like this sudden thing with #no outline?? if that makes sense. whereas a phone call is very like 'hello let's schedule a call from 10am - 2pm on thursday'. And you know #EXACTLY when the interaction will start and EXACTLY when it will end and you can plan around it in your schedule easily.#I have the reverse thing of a lot of people (how people don't pick up phone calls/hate calls/only text)#I would literally talk on the phone with a stranger. I would have a discord voice chat with someone I barely know.#if someone I hardly even remember from elementary school asked to have a voice call with me out of nowhere I would do it.#but if a stranger MESSAGED me?? or someone I barely know sent me a TEXT or something?? I will never reply probably #It's just too vague and weird. and you can't read voice tone over text. and the interaction could last forever with no clear end #point and etc. etc. But a call is like. set. established. clear boundaries. you can read the flow of conversation better. rapport. etc. etc #I get that I guess people feel more anonymous or distanced over text?? but you can have fake phone numbers on the computer. or do like disc #rd calls. or zoom without a camera or etc. etc. Also the distance that's present in text is BAD distance because it just means that tone is #not conveyed properly and you will never truly get a sense of the person's conversational vibe or mannerisms or how well you really click.#ANYWAY ghgjh...... I'm so so so interested in concepts of like.. How did that one kid I used to talk to in elementary school #but then they moved away in 5th grade - how did they end up? what are they doing now?? etc. etc. Like despite the severe social anhedonia #and general lack of connection with others I'm just really fascinated in like.. idk. the human development of it all and like #the concept of how we're actually a million different people through the course of our lives ever evolving in different iterations and etc.#PLUS again. i love nostalgia. sometimes old peple you know might remember a shared memory or can tell you about something you forgot #or etc. like it's SUCH A COOL THING in CONCEPT but I am too socially inept generally speaking lol. which people I still talk to today are #familiar with my 'phone call once every few months' communication style. but strangers would just be like... wtf. And I don't blame them #Sure I literally cannot change the physical health + brain issues i have - but also I know enough to not put others through that lol

I’m picking up way more Norwegian than i expected watching Skam. I fully expected that I’d watch the entire series once through understanding practically nothing of the audio and then in subsequent rewatches after having really picked up my studies (I’m at zero studies rn) start picking up words and phrases.

I’ve already got the days of the week, quite a few personal pronouns, several variations of hello and goodbye, some numbers, variations of yes and no, please and thank you, sorry, and a few short phrases (it’s all right, are you ok. Are you sure- that kind of thing) that I can understand while having looked away from the screen and missed the subtitle, and I’m only in episode 7.

#I do understand that Norwegian is super complex and any beginners luck I’m having here is temporary #but I’m also encouraged that I’m starting to pick up basics #and if after some deep study I went and just thrown-off-the-deep-end immersed myself I’d probably not die #and like I KNOW the majority of Norwegians speak english way better than I’ll ever speak Norwegian #and in daily interactions I wouldn’t HAVE to be fluent #but if I ever traveled there/lived there I’d want to understand enough to watch tv and understand the news and just be normal there #also I think if I ever did move there I would tell all my friends to force me to speak Norwegian 100% with them #because that’s how I got fluent in Spanish #I was CONVERSATIONAL and probably a B1 before I went to Guatemala #my friend (english but living in Guatemala) took our other english speaking friend with her one day #and looked at me and was like ‘you speak enough Spanish you will be fine’ and sent me off with her friends who knew not one word of english #the ‘speak or die’ panic immersion after the first 12 hours had me LITERALLY forgetting words in english already #I was SO TERRIFIED at the start of the day like buddy I don’t speak THAT much Spanish to abandon me to the wolves #but being FORCED to do it reprogrammed my brain so drastically that I was scoring a C2 by the time I got home #it was that first 12 hours of complete immersion that made something in my brain just switch off english #my inner voice itself swapped to Spanish #something about my subconscious realizing ‘english will not help you here—don’t worry I’ll delete it for extra space’#so for the rest of the trip I never spoke another word of English and was confidently chatting and bartering with the sales people #and any word I didn’t know I just described in Spanish like my brain didn’t even provide me with the english word #and as soon as the person I was talking to told me the right word for what I was describing #that word encoded instantly #it was an amazing bypass of having to translate in and out of English #I could have probably spent two months there fumbling around and not learned much without that day-2-of-the-trip 12 hours of immersion

help this post has infected my brain i can't stop thinking about some journalist ex-colleague of trent's just watching the entirety of richmond's football team + several members of the staff (including ted lasso) scoop him up and sprint across the pitch holding him aloft. this has so much comedic potential. im just picturing so many different like. tableaus. jan maas giving an absolutely stoic trent crimm a piggyback ride. exact same position but it's jamie tartt and trent crimm appears to be pointing directly ahead as tartt cackles and charges. they topple over. dani rojas has elected to carry him bridal style for some reason. sam obinsanya, who was supposed to be one of the reasonable ones, follows his example. one of the players has trent fully sitting on his shoulders somehow and somehow they don't fall. both the participating coaches (ted and beard) simply throw him over their shoulder and book it. for one of them he appears to be laughing loudly for the other his arms are crossed and he is making such a pointed expression of grumpy tolerance (like a cat who has been picked up and is resigned to it but he's not gonna like it!) that it is clearly exaggerated. trent makes exactly one (1) attempt to carry someone else (it's roy) and he actually does fairly well considering but they do end up sprawled on the grass and just. roy flat on his back staring at the sky, trent having half pushed himself up on his elbows, hair a complete mess, laughing. they're all arguing about times. there are fans sitting in on practice who can Just See All This. like. you know how there's like bullshit nothing articles about dumb shit? just. some "article" that's like "richmond appear to be doing wife-carrying races as training for some reason, and even more bafflingly, trent crimm appears to be the wife in question. anyway here's our top twenty photos of this because it is funny and weirdly wholesome." and then it's all over twitter for like three days. trent's ex-wife is texting him like "babe why are you a meme now". keeleys like "good news this is great pr! bad news [sends trent a candid shot of ted scooping him up unexpectedly and trent very obviously blushing]" and trents like "ah." some of the photos are hilariously blurred in motion. they're pretty much all smiling. forget about the realistic "but would they get criticism for not taking practice seriously" shhhh. everyone is enjoying this. it's about the wholesome nature of the whole team playing around and genuinely having fun together and also trent is too. formerly feared respected scary journalist cackling like a little kid while balanced precariously on the shoulders of a premiere league footballer. it's cute. it's also extremely funny. how did anyone find this dork scary

#im going in circles and not articulating this as well as i'd like but i'm picturing it so vividly and spinning spinning spinning it #it's so funny and wholesome to me #he's FRIENDS WITH THEM ALL!!!!#and also just the hysterical image of former colleagues/people who know trent by reputation just seeing this #utterly ridiculous and wholesome photos of someone who is clearly genuinely having fun #although im also not really diving into the implications of photos here.#i guess rather than a journalist it could be like #keeley taking photos for The Nelson Road Group Chat that def exists nad then being like 'these are really wholesome and funny actually #and also probably good pr we should post them' and getting permission?#SHH BRAIN STOP OVERTHINKING THIS #LET ME ENJOY SILLY THE ENTIRE TEAM CARRIES TRENT AROUND FOR SOME REASON POST #<- please that makes it sound like they're just treating him like a little purse dog.#not even the wife carrying races just.#picks him up. walks away #dlfkjlhkjfgh

i need to know if the people who are following me who are currently in the process of reading homestuck for the first time are doing it through the Unofficial Homestuck Collection because if you aren't please say so because um. Veteran homestuck here who wants to give you the best possible experience . please. <- guy who's prepping for an upcoming homestuck reread and as such has a whole list of reccomendations

#reply here or send an anon ask and ill ramble and give you my mod reccomendations. and links #i know i dont talk abt homestuck much on main because i. purged . most of my homestuck follows back during the #massive fucking antiblackness transmisogyny moment of 2020. that has. like permanently set me on the fucking defensive about it #as in i love homestuck to bits. but i saw the true colours of a lot of fan creators back then and. hrrgghghh #the way people drove all of the black creators and trans women out of the fandom just. god. god god god.#even though the text itself esp later on. like. wants so badly to try and make reperations for those exact things. even if imperfectly #sighhhh. but yeah im around to chat homestuck and if you catch me post-november 1st ill be rereading again #ive been in the fanbase since 2012 so im not The Most Veteran but ive seen my fair share. i can provide historical context for some stuff #basically anything act 6 and beyond i was there for #anyway wow i talked a lot. almost like i really really like homestuck but had to GET REAL QUIET ABOUT IT for a bit while it was.#a bit of a sore spot #lucabytetalks #also i love the epilogues nuiances warts and all so.#that already makes me a black sheep in this godforsaken fanbase

twitter is entering their "rts > likes" phase now that likes are private after they spent years calling us ungrateful for being demotivated by ratios lmao
