youve heard of sex flowers get ready for the flower that makes you into a celestial shoujo herione complete with particle effects you cannot turn the fuck off and creates a wifebeam so powerful it can incapacitate and maim and keeps making you burst into tears and fall on your ass which makes the wifebeam More Powerful and you also cannot turn this off either. and is also still, sort of, a sex flower
from one of my favorite fanfictions, Celestial Afterglow by elanor_pam, a fic that defies description in the best possible way
#arts#shen qingqiu#svsss#listen im not saying that ive spent a cumulative half a year reading this fic and then trying to make an arts for it#and then getting frustrated and stopping because i couldn't figure out how to make sqq shimmery enough#but like. im not NOT saying that#this is the FOURTH time ive started something for this bitch it haunts my fucking dreams and yet the opalescent glittery sqq evades me#perhaps you o unlearned fool look at this and say hmm that's too many colour layers and glowy effects but oh how wrong you are#if it doesnt make you literally fall over yourself at how otherworldly and radiant he is then there is room for improvement yet#perhaps you look at this and you think Wow!!! this gives me literally NO ideas what this fic is about#well Let Me Tell You. i have no fucking idea how to summarize this fic#its not often the tags in a fic give me pause but i saw this and as i read the tags i was increasingly just like What#but i have no idea how to describe it. the tags arent NOT accurate but i was SO unprepared for what happened in like an extremely pos way#if i were tagging this i think i would give it the no archive warnings apply label if that matters to you#the author seemed they wanted to leaned towards over caution rather than risk missing anything re tags because This Is A Weird Fic#but oh my fucking god#i am gripping you by the shoulders i cannot stress enough how charming it is#brilliant characterization especially with airplane in the first scene#and also so much fucking funnier than i thought possible for the general setting summary tags and buildup#its just. ough. its good

Sam talks about Jacob being 'an exceptional person' and answers what would have happened if Dale interviewed Lestat and whether or not Dale and Louis would be "friends" in The Emsolation Podcast Extras!
Note: Unf this is not the complete video where he answears that question(s). I had to edit it with a few excerpts i found so it might not make much sense. if someone put the whole segment of this question(s) i will edit this with that video
Source: The Emsolation Podcast - Sam Reid talks the FINAL season of The Newsreader, urvampiregirls, loustatsoup, comeappraiseme and pixielayer
------
Him saying that he can't imagine Louis giving two f*cks about Dale š Well the fanfics says otherwise š i am really surprised they didn't told im about the Louis x Dale fanfics on AO3 š¤£
i cant find the tweet now but i swear that i saw someone one twitter saying that Michael Lucas and the lady in the video talked about it a few weeks ago in one of The Emsolation podcast eps.
Anyway, it's funny that Lestat possessed him both times: one (where Sam clearly was able to control him) where he was totally down to the idea of f*cking Dale and in the other where he cant stand the idea of Louis f*cking Dale (Lestat you fake poly. A cheater is what you are) I didn't believed 100% in the Lestat possession allegations until i watch this š¤Æ
#jam reiderson#sam reid#jacob anderson#quoting tweets#sam saying Louis wouldnāt give two fucks about daleā¦ he clearly hasnāt spent enough time on ao3#this means sam is on the ālouis would get bored in two minutes with a nice guyā train btw#The Lestat JUMPED out over the idea that Louis would be attracted to Dale š#lestat possessed him for a second here girl calm down that newsreader is not stealing your manš#He rlly said no ones getting that man but meā¦even if its me in a wig š#if Lestat saw what Louis & Dale have been doing in the AO3 he would quickly become Anne Rice & ban the fanfics from the face of the earth š¤£#Louis totally will f and eat Dale in the 80's. Nervous wreck reporter is his favourite type of snack back then.#he wouldve been atleast a one of the guys in san francisco cmon dont break his heart like that#Lestat will f Dale just to f with himš©#Lestat would f*ck himself if he could so ofc he would f*ck his doppelganger#iām crying he was down w it until he remembered they were both him š#Pausing to picture Lestat fucking Dale (himself fucking himself)#I cant get over him getting weirded out by his own thoughts alsksk#Iām convinced Lestat was bringing up p0rnographic visions of dalestat into his head š¤#THE PAUSE?? he was imagining that shit in 4K LMAO#he was thinking abt selfcest#āwhoās that man who plays l-ā āJACOBā oh he got in there so fast š#samās immediate āJACOBBBBā. he could not WAITTT to gush about him#Jacob Anderson hype contest and Sam gets first place every time šāāļø#āheās exceptional. exceptional person. yeahā oh i am sure#āyour energy together is deliciousā well yes!#the way his face softens my goddddddd. you can tell he gets so excited talking about him like his whole face lights up. he can't hide it š¤#Michael nearly beating him to the punch#does sam talk about him or is he also a jacob lover or bothā¦thoughts

the thing about aftg is that all the canon relationships are just so Tasty that I don't really engage much in considering alternatives. Not even Aaron and Kate cus I love them as they are. I only considered Aaron/Kevin because an Andreil fic had it in the background, and I only consider polycules of already existing relationships when the vibes are Just Right (Andreil+Jerejean+Kevin FTW)
MEANING I dont think about aftg crack ships like,,, ever. Don't break up my darlings, i already like the hands they're holding
THAT BEING SAID

#its just jarring enough to give me pause#for the chaos#it would never work in a million years#and thats exactly why it must be considered#put em in a box and shake em#see what comes out#all for the game#neil josten#seth gordon

i made interps of 2p liech and 2p swiss so many years ago but never posted em... not sure where the files are now. >__< but i finally am working on the new ones lol. i know that 2p swiss and 2p liech arent as popular, but theyre one of the few i have an Actual history planned out for.
tldr: the worlds ultimate paranoid germaphobe and his creepy little sister, who is armed with lysol wipes and also a Gun
#(in tears) and they were adopted siblings...#hetalia#2p hetalia#2p liechtenstein#2p switzerland#not an ask#switzerland: liech PLEASE dont kill anyone. ur going to get blood everywhere... [pause] ALSO ITS WRONG#liech: T_T okey..#i took the implications of swiss isolation + the home of the red cross and went nuts..#oh? medical themes? AND isolation? youre kidding me. i can do so much with him.#and as for liech... in a world like 2p where cruelty isnt just inevitable; its EXPECTED#for her to be saved... to have nothing to give to be worth nothing at all... and to be saved...#i think. switz's kindness hits a lil harder in this world#so shes like his scrappy little angry hate-filled guard dog chihuhua thing.#she is filled with hate yes.. but also love. <3#idea: switz has pity for humans but not like. good pity. he is sad that humans die so much so he does charity and red cross and peace work#but he has no respect for humans whatsoever... and not even nations to an extent tbh... those who mimic humans at least#ie those who are prone to human traits... childishness and indulgence and violence and ego and whatnot...#ok enough talking

my kingdom and my left arm for a word that basically means avatar but isn't avatar
#mainly because ''avatar'' has drifted just far enough from its origins that it doesn't evoke what it's supposed to#unless someone's literally talking about hinduism. speaking of -- another reason is that it's culturally specific#but that IS the concept i'm looking for! argh.#(''incarnation'' is fine i guess but it still doesn't have the right resonance. there's enough theological debate#about the difference to give me pause yknow)#(and ofc a tertiary reason is how annoying it is for there to be two very extremely popculturally relevant properties called avatar)#(TWO)

i love my coworker but sometimes i am very suddenly reminded that she is a rich white private highschooler who still hasnāt left that bubble yet
#coffee talks#weāll be having a great time and then sheāll just say the darndest thing#also she keeps kind of implying that iām too kindhearted bc iām not suspicious of certain customers????#as if iām naive?? love you queen but iām just trying not to profile people#like she tells me to watch out when visibly poor or drugged people come in#or like. groups of teenagers laughing#but then says she trusts private school boys not to steal bc āthey have enough moneyā#which. is so ironic when she implies iām naive about people#itās just. sigh#usually sheās fine but itās just Some Things that pop out and give me pause#but sheās still just in highschool so itās hard to really get someone out of that bubble#and there was just. a certain comment she made about a group of indigenous boys that came in today#she said it wasnāt bc of that but i donāt think she really understands that the context of who sheās saying it about changes the impact

the sword and shield part of the prophecy is soooo vague that iāll rotate every possible theory inside my silly little head and then go āor it could be smth elseā. absolute net zero conclusions reached but i had fun.
#like. i think hak being the sword is one of if not the most popular theories and i can see it bc well. look at the guy#but itās the specifics of the wording that give me pause#āWHEN the four dragons are gathered the sword and shield which will protect the king SHALL AWAKENā#when hakās been there from the beginning + thereās also ik-suās warning that hak will die if yona doesnāt find the dragons#which. thereās definitely ways to interpret him still being the sword (or shield!! thatād also be a neat twist) even with that in mind#but ngl iām also a sucker for the idea that heās just. there bc he loves yona. no connection to the prophecy whatsoever.#like both options make sense to me and i can see either one happening#anyway my personal favorite theory rn is that riri is the either the sword or the shield#not saying itās the most probable option. just the most fun to meeee <3#and ngl it only occurred to me during the latest chapter bc sheās clearly gonna play some kind of role#so itās not like i have like a mountain of compelling evidence but i do have more than just. a feeling#like she has the sociopolitical standing and the ability (or at least pluckiness) to fill either role right?#and she was introduced and grew as a character only after all four dragons were gathered#which fits with some of the only things we know about the sword and the shield#do u see what iām getting at?? am i making any sense at all??#it could also ofc be a literal sword and shield which. tbh i think is the most likely but also less fun to speculate about#anyway i also think tae-jun will have a bigger role to play. either as a part of the prophecy or not#but also how might zenoās recent actions impact the prophecyā¦ā¦. much to think about as always#but thatās enough theorizing for one day! time to grab my iced coffee from the fridge and work on my silly little fic <3#akayona

@themeekwillinherit
For me it's not so much I dislike the ending of the stage version, but I think unless they altered the script to make it more like the stage version (i.e., made Seymour's choices more deliberate), then tonally it's just too disjunctive with the movie's script as written. But also that test audience was me.
Me @ You (affectionate):
But in all seriousness, I don't particularly have an issue with how the film itself is laid out. It focuses more on telling a cohesive and satisfying story, but it does def lose some of the like, point of the stage version, which is a bit of a bummer if you were going into the movie hoping for something that gave the same kind of feelings as the stage show, if that makes sense. Like, the ending of the show is determined more by the over all message, and the movie is more focused on the story through which the message is told and it shows.
And it's not even than Audrey and Seymour getting to live and have a happy ending that doesn't quite pass the sniff test to me, it's more what that happy ending actually ends up being. Even if we take the movie as it is, Audrey says she wouldn't need the money and the success to love Seymour, but in the end they do get that nice little house in the suburbs which was absolutely bought with the money gained from the success of the shop, which was made possible through Seymour compromising on his morals. Intentional or not, it's not great. The money isn't important except that it is. And despite knowing the plant needed blood and bodies to survive, he still decided that was worth it to keep it around, so that money and success cannot be divorced from the awful things that had to be done to acquire it (which is true of all money gained under capitalism but don't worry about it lol) Audrey and Seymour absolutely can live and get their big kiss, it's them actually getting to run away to the suburbs and it being shown where I'm like...ok, I feel like maybe this is a little too flat of an ending.
And like, they do nod to things not being 100% ok in the end with the little Audrey 2 in the garden, but that feels kinda meh given what the stage ending is. It's kind of a wink at it but not much more than that.
Anyway, give me post-canon content where Audrey and Seymour deal with, at the very least emotionally, with the fact that their happy suburban dream ending comes with a body count attached lol
#All this to say like I do enjoy the movie ending but it just gives me pause when I think about it for more than a minute XD#There's also something in there about white flight to the suburbs and taking their money with them but this is wordy enough as it is#Posts in which I get WAY too meta lol#themeekwillinherit#(Outta Skid Row) OOC

maybe iāve been too critical of mean girl she got me an easter basket today and everyoneās like omggggggggg thatās so nice of her and iām like okay but WHY are you buying me gifts so often
#am i just traumatized from being bullied and alienated throughout high school is this how normal straight women behave#like ladies is it normal to buy your friend treats and accessories and food all the time#like she'll say 'this just made me think of you so i bought it for you' like ma'am i'm a lesbian and you're confusing me#but also thanks and you're the best#also she told me before she buys clothes (for herself) she'll think whether I would wear it or not and if so she'll buy it (FOR HERSELF)#it just gives me pause cause i'm not cool enough for her to be acting like this in my opinion so it confounds me#and also makes me want to kiss her which i think is why i find it so puzzling

Been watching Deltarune theory videos in the background this week and this guy has me thoroughly convinced that Kris is the DR-timeline version of Frisk (and thus has much less sinister inclinations than many of us have been assuming), that something terrible might have happened to Asriel offscreen, and that Rouxls Kaard either IS the Roaring Knight or is going to be the funniest red herring of all time
#tbh like 85% of this guy's theories are plain ridiculous but they're still entertaining enough to hear them out#but once or twice a video he'll point out some detail or connection that genuinely gives me pause#like Rouxls signing his note in Ch 1 as ''RK'' and how that could easily be used for a fakeout later with the *R*oaring *K*night#or how there's this whole running theme of Kris being possessed by one or more Souls and how tidy of a parallel/reversal it would be to#make that into a callback of Asriel and Chara sharing a body in UT by making DR!Asriel possess Kris#(there's not any evidence that makes that last one really seem compelling in any way yet but it's SO intriguing)#also he just proposed that a character connected to Gerson Boom might end up being the Knight because#one anagram of his name could be ''OBERON SMOG''#and I hate that it's TOO FUCKING AWESOME for how unlikely I find the rest of that particular theory dagjhsdjfasd#ignore me

In light of Brian Thompson being shot dead on my birthday (šš„³š) I'd like to share a personal story about UnitedHealthcare.
During the peak of COVID, my family all got sick. I couldn't be on my parents' insurance because they were both older and on Medicare. So, I had insurance through my University: UnitedHealthcare.
For some reason, rather than roll-over each year, I got a new plan each year that ended after May and didn't start until August, so I was uninsured for the summer months, but it was a weird situation that the university denied, and told us we were supposed to be insured year-round, it was messy.
Both of my parents went to the hospital, and I got sick too. I had to take care of my pets, and myself, and try to stay alive and keep my pets alive when I was so weak I could hardly move. When my parents came home, my condition got dramatically worse (I think my body knew it couldn't give out, because there was nobody to take care of me, so once my parents were okay, it completely crashed and failed.)
I started experiencing emergency symptoms. It was a bit hard to breathe, my chest hurt, and I was extremely delirious. I wanted to call my insurance to see if I was covered (this was during the summer) and I was connected to some nice person, probably making minimum wage, who told me with caution in her voice that my plan was expired. I had no active insurance, but she urged me to go to an emergency room. I remember saying something to the effect of "You just told me I don't have insurance, I can't go to the hospital, I can't afford it."
She sounded so genuinely worried and scared. I remember she said "You really don't sound good, you sound really sick, please call 9-1-1" and I think I just said "I can't afford it without insurance, don't worry, I think I'll be okay."
And she paused and said "I don't want to hang up the phone with you like this." And it sounded like she was holding back tears. And I don't remember what I said, I think that I would be okay, and I hung up.
I still think about her. I wonder if that phone call haunted her, or if she had dozens of calls like that a day. I wonder if she thinks about it at all, if she wonders if I died after she told me I didn't have insurance and therefore couldn't go to the hospital without incurring a tremendous financial burden. I wonder if she feels guilt or blame-- of course she shouldn't, it wouldn't have been her fault if anything had happened to me. Maybe it's self-centered to wonder if she thinks about it. I'm not the main character and it was just her job. But, still.
I think about how evil it was that we were put in that situation. Because offering year-long continuous coverage through the university plan would maybe cut into profits, maybe not benefit shareholders enough, maybe cut into Thompson's $10 million salary. While his minimum wage administrators have to feel afraid to hang up the phone, because on the other line someone might be dying, and they wouldn't know. While his patients hang up and decide to take their chances rather than put their family through that trauma.
This is UnitedHealthcare. This is Brian Thompson's legacy. This is why, understandably, an entire nation is jubilant that he was gunned down like the vermin he was. I don't care about his widow. I feel pity for his children, despite the fact that they will inherit millions, but I feel more pity for the children of his victims patients who are gone because they didn't want THEIR children to inherit crippling debt. Brian Thompson got what he fucking deserved. I pray that he not be the only one. I pray for continued safety, peace , and anonymity for his killer.
American healthcare is a disease.
