#just really random train of thought

[comradekarin]

The way Aaron Taylor Johnson was a childhood staple like him in Kick Ass started that white boy crush era I had as a kid. Don’t even get me started with him being the OG James Potter fancast. Recently I watched him in Bullet Train and it was so great, especially seeing all the chemistry he had with Brian Tyree Henry (I adored him in eternals). With that being said, gotta be like the wildest shit appreciating ATJ’s acting and then like just randomly remembering, holy shit he got groomed by a grown ass 42 year old woman when he was seventeen and technically became a parent to three as a teenager😦

Just a thought : I'm really hyped that our flag means death season 2 comes out soon but kinda "scared" because I feel like the ofmd fandom and the good omens fandom are mostly the same people wich was one of the thing I loves about ofmd because the go fandom was kinda "dying out" and like I suddenly saw all those artist start pouring our flag means death fanarts and it was really cool

But since go season 2 came out recently the fandom is still thriving and I hope the ofmd season 2 won't mean that people will just start doing mostly ofmd fanarts and it will stop the momentum of the go fandom a bit faster than last time

And like I love ofmg I'm really hyped for all the fanwork that will come out and like both fandoms are kind of my favs fandoms just from what I've experiences the vibes are just chill and wholesome and really really creative but like I hope we can make both thrive at the same time even if I know it's hard because sometimes just the investment in a new fiction series etc... can make you kinda forget about the previous one for a bit.

Tldr : I hope the ofmd season 2 coming out won't make everyone move on from good omens before they would've if ofmd s2 came out later

So- wouldn't it be cool if dragon tamers kept their nails long, in a claw-like shape, to be closer to their dragon pokèmon while they train? See it as the tamers trying to establish a connection through similarities with a feature usually common in dragons (and obtainable by humans).

And following that- pianists usually need to keep their nails short to have a better range of movement on the keys right? Since nails easily bump or get caught into them especially when you're playing more complex pieces.

What I'm getting at-.. what if Hassel used to have long, claw-like nails but cut them short the moment he decided to leave the tamer life to pursue his musician dream? Not only to play at the best of his abilities but to also symbolically cut off his old life/family ties to make room for who he truly wanted to become.

And listen- I also just love the image of DragonTamer!Hassel laying his hand atop the piano keys in a moment of reflection, his eyes darting between one and the other.

He is weighting his possibilities and what there is to lose and to gain if he was to run away or stay.

But then one of his clawed fingers presses down a tiny bit too hard and a note escapes the piano, clearing his mind from any doubt.

The Dragon Tamer cannot stay. The claws have to go.

...No, no. I'm fine really, I'm fine- :,>

worst thing about being disabled is that now I am fully and completely aware of exactly how much I am worth to everyone I know. And it is not a lot!!

i absolutely love your tags on my post about the mysterious woman, it's nice seeing someone who's as passionate about her as me ❤️

Hehehe, thank u, I’m pacing around all happy about it rn (>.< ). I love Simon’s Quest and how genuinely odd everything that happens in it is.

And the Mysterious Woman doesn’t get talked about very much and y’all are missing out!!! She’s so so so fun to speculate about!

I ran into I think it might have been an old conversation on like Gamefaqs or some other comment section somewhere and there were a surprisingly large amount of people in the conversation who said that when the game came out they assumed that she was meant to be Selena, and that’s just aaaaaa so so interesting to me. And it wasn’t just American fans either, there was someone from Japan who assumed the same. It’s so awesome getting to see the perspectives of people who were there when the game was new and this theory has me going nuts sometimes lol. On one hand it makes sense for the ghost woman in the Belmont family graveyard to be someone from the family, but on the other hand is she really “mysterious” anymore if it’s someone Simon would know?

And why did the Mysterious Woman not mention the Tooth of Vlad and only the other five pieces that she knew would partially summon Dracula instead of the intended burning, burying, and breaking of the curse? Especially if she’s meant to be Selena/Simon’s wife or if you interpret her as Sara? Simon’s Quest really went for the twist of having the call to action character and the one to get Simon out of whatever rut he was in for 6 years in the first place be the first person to lie to him. Which is just so!!!! Aaaa!!!!!!!!!!! This also raises the question: is the Mysterious Woman actually a force of good? Or did she just know that Simon was desperate enough to believe what she was saying to him? I’ve seen some people theorize that she was some kind of Dracula cultist or even a possible form of Death because of this.

Or was she completely right that summoning and killing Dracula is the only way to break the curse? After all a lot of other games in the series that revolve around curses end in Dracula being brought back and defeated. But this is also a strange option as usually when Dracula is resurrected it’s by cultists or Death or whoever else and it’s not a good thing and is just for the purpose of having the evil dark lord do evil things. So that would make this game one of the few scenarios in which Dracula’s resurrection is justified which is so weird I just— thinking about Simon’s Quest to hard is gonna kill me one day lol X,,,,,D.

She also says that one line of “within your own heart, you might be able to defeat the evil if you wager your own life” and thinking about that along with the ominous vagueness of the endings all having different eulogies so similar that you could genuinely make an argument for any of them being the canon ending and the fact that almost all of Simon’s symbolism is related to self sacrifice and martyrdom is uh… interesting. Also a lot of people forget that the area around Castlevania is also cursed, not just Simon. The swamps are messed up, the towns get less saturated in color more empty the closer you get to the castle, and there’s monsters everywhere, this wasn’t entirely a selfish endeavor to save himself.

Anyway, the Japanese manual also talks about the Mysterious Woman in specific ways, appearing and disappearing with the mist. And maybe this is a way to keep her as mysterious as possible, but it’s an interesting choice of words. They could’ve said she walked away into the mist, but they specifically said “disappear”, which is an awfully ghostly thing to do. And it’s also weird cause we kinda do see another character suddenly appear out of thin air in a graveyard in who I like to call the Garlic Guy. The Garlic Guy is also massively under appreciated like what the heck is up with that whole interaction 💀💀💀. Go to the graveyard, only at night, and some hooded figure will suddenly begin to exist in front of you if you lay garlic on the ground and then give you a bag. And then like most things it’s completely unexplained and you just have to keep moving on. I’m thoroughly convinced Simon is just as confused as we are lol. And in a way she is also treated the same way as any other NPC: she does something unexplainable and is never mentioned or important again. The way the game is written I swear it’s designed to make you feel anxious and rushed, ya know like a guy who is actively dying would feel.

And the fact that none of this is ever explained is just so ominous. It adds to the tension of the game and themes of not being able to trust anyone. Nobody trusts Simon, Simon can’t determine who’s trustworthy, there’s NPCs that you don’t even get to know who or what they are, sometimes even the hint books aren’t particularly helpful, things happen and you just have to keep going as to not waste any time.

Hopefully any of this makes sense lol I ain’t reading all that again to check cause I gotta go have lunch cause I forgor about it whoops. Anyway I am very normal about Simon’s Quest and every character in it, please everyone play this game it’s good I promise— (;w; )

Edit: oh my god I did not realize how long this ended up oopsie—

Need someone to make a “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me” meme but with old school runescape

So. I had been listening to a song and thought, 'Huh. This is going on for a while, isn't it?" So I checked, and.... hm.

Gbavag not knowing enough about/ how to draw your oc is such a curse...

Like you draw them, but it’s not THEM y’know? And the you’re stuck in a loop of “I’m not drawing them because I don’t know how to” and “I won’t know how to draw them unless I practice”

One of my goals this year is to become more and more earnest in the things I like and be true to the kind of person I am, whoever that is

Trying to keep myself from mindsets like "Oh, I'm so cringe for liking this for X or Y reason" or "Yeah I like this but I need to show that in an insincere sarcastic way because I somehow convinced myself that that will keep me from getting hurt"

Idk, I feel like I have so much love and passion to give to the world, and it's just a shame to waste it on insecure remarks 😂 At some point it's like I don't really know what personality traits I have because so much of my identity is buried under insecurities and trying to protect myself from people

[malkaviian]

this is so stupid but i actually quite like jayce's skin on this one--- it looks like its supposed to be

[sammygender]

i’m sorry i have psychological problems because thinking too hard about tris and four from hit shit YA trilogy divergent still makes me want to sob. even tho i haven’t thought about them in like five years

[my-thoughts-and-junk]

the concept of a priest being left behind during the rapture kind of goes hard tbh

[hauntingblue]

Pluton lore: it can be used to make islands disappear. But why would crocodile want that

Zoro no learning that a swordsman is worth nothing if he can only attack and can't protect... yeah yeah yeah

Water luffy is so silly but makes so much sense like this is how we got to gear 5... also robin laughing.... this is where she thought she might join... like at least she will laugh with them. Also crocodile gets mad right after so it works to rile him up too!! Magnificent plan luffy

A Lament from the Youngest Sibling

I don't know how only children do it. My older brother graduates this year and goes off to college. Soon family dinners will just be me and my parents, awkward conversations around an empty-seeming table. He's going to join my sister out in the world and I will be left at home alone. I used to wonder what it'd be like as an only child when I was really young wish I was one. But now I wonder how they do it. How do they be alone without siblings for support. How do they exist without a constant friend and companion. I suppose maybe they never knew or have the experience of siblings but still. I wonder how my sister did it for 2 years before my brother existed. Although siblings don't always get along they are your reliable people and for younger siblings people who have known you your whole life. Sure your parents were there since day one but they will never know the secrets shared late at night or on car rides with siblings. They will never be the first to learn some things, siblings learn first. So, as I go to bed before the first day of the school year that will end with me the only child at home, I wonder how only children do it?
