So, I watched Remainder (2015), because I'm a simple gal who enjoys watching Tom Sturridge play various shades of unhinged gremlin on my screen and, I have my own theory :

I don't think the black out at the end is the fuse to a new loop and that it starts all over again. I think the black out is Tom's death. That Tom's been dying the whole time.

At the beginning, he's declared clinically dead, and I don't think he recovers actually. Rather, the movie is a 1 hour and 43 minutes-long stretch of the few seconds between the accident and Tom's actual death, throughout which his 'life flashes before his eyes', as the established expression go. Except part of his brain is already destroyed from the squashing, and the memories stored in it are erased, and Tom has to do with what is left for his 'life review'.

Except he does not, he's terrified of death (as human beings usually are), and he takes refuge in this ultimate surge of brain activity, lets it delude him that it is, in fact, reality. Thus, it makes no sense to him that parts of his memories are missing, and he fixates on these and endeavours to recover them, like he ought to be able to do since his brain is intact and he believes himself to have already gone through the process of, and succeeded in recovering his motive functions.

And stubborn, sort of patient, repeat has been the method to recover his motive functions, it ought to be for his memories as well.

He 'fixes' his life ー or, his memories of it ー as he goes too. I don't think he was running away from the bank robbery when he's squashed at the very beginning. The first and last scene of the movie are nearly identical, except for one detail : in the first scene, when he looks back to Catherine, she smiles and goes down the stairs towards him. She does not in the last scene.

I'm not sure what exactly was happening before the accident, but it's reasonable to infer from the informations provided throughout the movie that he found out Catherine was 'a real cunt', to quote Greg, packed his things and stormed out. That is why she's so hopeful when he turns and look at her in the first scene.

Except that is a failure, and not something Tom's unconscious want to replay last before his death, nor something he wants to go through ー again ー at all. So he reaches for something else, and grasps the memory of the news of Christopher's death. I don't think he was actually close to Christopher, but his death is 'glorious' to Tom, much more so than his own. And this might not be his own life, but if he can piece motive functions, and memories back from oblivion, surely with enough practice he can make someone else's memory his. So when he reaches the end of his life's tape, Catherine doesn't go down the stairs hopefully towards him because now he's the one who hurt her, he's dangerous, and she fears him, fears what he's capable of. The other way around than what actually happened. And much better.

Plus now, he's turned the flashing of his life before his eyes as death creeps on him into a whole other thing. Respite. Reprieve. A second chance. And surely more chances will be granted to him. Now he's in a time loop that will resume 'until the universe runs down'. Now he's endless.

Except he's not.

Bro who told you that,, draw Miku!!

I was told people on Tumblr prefer personal art over fanart. I'm not sure if that's true, but here are my chronically online OC's Elly and Velly anyway. I treat their story as if it's an already existing piece of media

[yasbeych]

You've made tons of iconic Starscream and Megatron art, how do you see Galvatron and Cyclonus's dynamic? Would you draw how they greet each other perhaps?

tragically I don’t know much about them or their dynamic at all but I think it would be really funny if they had very different ideal greeting styles

Cody et Rex se font la bise comme des snobes. Ils serrent la main à la mandalorienne ou saluent n'importe qui d'autre. Mais entre eux deux c'est la bise avec dix centimètres d'écart entre leurs joues, bouche en cul de poule et les plus grosses vibes de "pétasses du lycée qui sont meilleurs amies, gossipent sur tout le monde en se manucurant et te sourient avec l'air de dire qu'elles t'écoutent juste pour paraître polies mais elles vont critiquer absolument tout sur toi la minute où tu tournes le dos".

Unpopular opinion de ouf mais j'aime trop faire la bise et qu'on me fasse la bise, pas à n'importe qui non plus mais j'aime trop ce moment de ta relation avec quelqu'un où t'es "bon bah j'ai envie de coller ta joue contre la mienne et faire semblant d'embrasser l'air pour te dire bonjour", insane ritual, tu embrasses sans embrasser.

Et j'aime encore plus quand c'est vraiment des ami.e.s/famille et la bise devient de vrais bisous sur la joue, genre allez on arrête de faire semblant, je t'aime trop pour ça.

wrong carlos knows very well about the little affair he sees how reyes matched outfits with charles in monza and cheered a little harder for him and the ferrari hoodie in her suitcase doesn't spell out 55 but 16 . carlos waits for one of them to cave and admit and come begging for his forgiveness but for charles it's just a little game of psychological torture. he will drop not so subtle hints just to send another teammate into a back marker team and eventually to retire and if he has to bend his father across the hoodie of his new ferrari to do that so be it

THIS 2019 SEBCHAL FIC KINDA CHARLES FEMME FATALE CHARACTERISATION I LOVE IT SO MUCH. TEN THOUSAND WORDS OF THIS. PLEASE

i live for the gregstophe lovey dovey hcs can i please have some

HELL YEAH i can give you lovey dovey gregstophe anon!!!!!!!!! 👀 let’s do it

I’ve spoken about it before a little bit but LETTERS….. They write overly dramatic, lowkey sappy romantic letters to each other constantly. It started bc Gregory likes to write letters (his ass absolutely owns so many fountain pens and fancy paper) and Christophe is more likely to truly express himself when he’s not actually talking (and writing things down doesn’t count). Originally they actually send the letters to one another but it doesn’t stop when they start living together. They just leave letters for one another throughout the house. Sometimes hand deliver them from a room over. Even when friends are over at their house 😅

I don’t picture them being the type to really like texting but if they were they’d absolutely send long, windy, sappy texts to one another just like the letters. Which shocks any of their friends if they ever see their phones bc Gregory usually texts straightforward and to the point while Christophe rarely responds outside of “k” and emojis.

While I do believe their real names are more sacred/romantic to one another than pet names, the way they call each other by pet names constantly (and the way they say it, often very gentle and loving 🥺) just gives off the most codependent couple vibes… and god forbid they go and use each other’s ACTUAL names… everyone in the room feels like the biggest third wheel ever

It’s really easy in general for both of them to forget there’s others around them once they start dating. They’ll keep giving each other looks, make playful jabs, inch closer, only really talk to one another, etc. In fact they’ll sometimes appear a little miffed if someone else just speaks, reminding them of their presence.

They insist on a kiss for good luck before one of them goes off to do something (usually something dangerous but sometimes something just mildly tricky). Sometimes they can make it a quick cute thing but if it’s not a very dangerous/immediately pressing situation, they can get caught up kissing, insisting on just one more for extra good luck 🥰
