S. Reid

Pendulum

Claire knew she was different; in fact, it was one of the first things she really had to learn. Before that though, she simply thought the people she interacted with where disproportionally stupid. It was only after she realized she unnerved those around her, setting off alarms of warning of preservation, did she realize how special she was. Comparatively, it took Spencer Reid 1.39 seconds. (alternatively named 100 days of Claire)

prologue -Here! The Labrynth -Coming Soon! The Mirror -To Be Determined

United In Grief

How long can two hurting people hold on with only love keeping them together?

Late Night Concessions

Someone broke into your place; it was just past midnight and the rain was near deafening, but you were sure that was the sound of your front door window being shattered. With your phone on silent and Spencer’s number already dialed, you can only hope they’re here for your purse and tv and not the hiding girl beneath the bed.

Re-Run Special

Spencer finds love with a genius hedonistic girl who turns his world upside down, but their clash of personalities can leave him feeling a little left behind.

Play Your Cards Right

Y/n always loved Yu-Gi-Oh. From watching the show as a kid to trading and playing the card game, it’s always been a part of her life-- she should have known her boyfriend would try to learn it for her.

Coffee, My Secret Admirer

He had been wanting to try out the coffee shop on west and third for a while now, and he finally had the chance. He never thought he’d be caught up in a romance when a beautiful girl hopped over the counter and took his order, nor did he think they’d turn into not-so-secret admirers of one another.

Scale of Mental Stability

When a string of murders pick off where a long-arrested serial killer left off, the FBI’s first stop is the children of the cursed family. The problem? The only person who hates the man more than the son they arrested, is the daughter who’s out for blood.

My Hermes (Sending Me Letters From Above)

A coincidental meeting years ago leaves Spencer enthralled by a voice heard in the most unfortunate of circumstances. Y/n couldn't forget the man who gave her the best gift of all, the phone call of a lifetime.

The Seven Stages Of Loving You

A seven part series where Spencer falls in love with the BAU’s CI, or, Spencer finds out just how hard it is to build a future with someone constantly attacked by their past.

Absquatulate

Years had passed. Cases opened and closed, books were written and sold, the world spun and spun until... until it didn’t. The world kept moving until three am on Halloween night-- six shots of whiskey deep-- the world crashed down. 

A. Hotch

Last Man Standing

No matter what it takes, even as bodies fall all around him and blood paints the streets, he will come home to you.

Just Like The Movies

It was a rare sight even before what will henceforth be known only as 'the incident' for Aarons smile to stretch so wide his eyes crinkled in a boyish manner that everyone believed was lost to time. It must have been a miracle.

The Egg Crusher

Serial killers in their own backyard had a tendency to start fires within the team that burn hotter than usual; one targeting pregnant women was practically begging them to shut him down. Aaron had begged her to take off work and finally start maternity leave. The worst part was she listened; the constant messages to his work email that set of ‘nesting’ alarms in his head had him convinced she had dived head first into it. Then he gets one signed off with the hidden moniker used when one of them gets themselves in trouble.

D. Morgan

Where You Go (I Wanna Go With You)

Derek always believed the job came first; complete the mission however he needed to for the case to close and the rest was simply collateral damage. Even now, when all is said and done, he couldn't say when his priorities shifted.

Where You Go (I Go)

Derek knew what it meant to be a great soldier. He knew how to follow all the rules and take initiative when appropriate; he’d learned these things as a means of survival. Even if the country he serves has dwindled down to one person, he knows to do everything in his power to get to her till his dying breath. (a part two)

Domesticated

The people at work tried to be more encouraging than envious when her boyfriend insists on driving her to and from work some random Tuesday. The imposing figure the man struck was intimidating, yet they all called him her ‘doberman puppy’.

J. Gideon

The Heart

He thought he'd lost it forever; for years it had been pegged as just another thing the horrors of his profession had stolen from him, a risk his mind simply wouldn't allow him to take. He should have known the brain had no power over matters of the heart.

E. Prentiss

Dancing With The Stars

Maybe in another world, when Emily crossed the dimly lit ballroom with a cutting smile and wandering hand, she did it without the mic in her ear.

E. Greenway

Comfort, Come Forth, King Forge

It was a dangerous field; that was all anyone ever said- you're a small girl, they'll eat you alive. For years after the academy she was always a girl first agent second; then she met her.

D. Rossi

Bella, Ciao

He may have chosen the wild life, but his heart remained every faithful in her hands.

These Trembling Hands

He thought it might be over; similar fates have happened to men far more successful than he. A mission gone wrong and they're sent to recovery, a mandates psych eval that already is stamped 'denied' to send him into retirement. He never thought he'd last this long in the first place, and if the pretty psychiatrist was his parting present he'd be a fool to look the gifted horse in the eye.

P. Garcia

Something Lost, Something Gained

It was a gilded reassignment that brought the new liaison to the team; she was, perhaps, the only agent who loathed the idea of being tacked on to the BAU's list of revolving-door members. The Cyber Response Unit had been home ever since the academy, but a single misstep had started the spiral towards madness, better known as the Behavioral Analysis Unit. Hopefully there would be someone on the team that wouldn't inherently know every little secret which had been carefully tucked away.

Labrynth of memories & despair. Madoka magica AU

Thinkin' of a madomagi au right now. Its kind of a combination between royalty(?) and the original series. Its mainly about the Holy Quintet witches + Charlotte.

I once read an Au somewhere with Kriemhild's griefseed is rumoured to be able to contain an infinite amunt of despair, giving whichever puella magi to obtain it a chance at a normal life. And so, every magical girls battle against eachother for it before the powerful witch inside hatches.( If the person reading this happens to be or know the original author, please tell me so I can give proper credit)

And here's where my au comes in. That seed is highly protected. Multiple witches labrynths merge together to become a kind of fortress, a castle with different segments. And that is where the rest of the Holy Quintet ( automatically include Charlotte in here from now on ok?) resides.

This deadly maze is divided into 3 main segments:

"The dining hall"

"The Deepsea stage"

And finally, at the very center

" The cradle of hope & despair"

Those places were named by magical girls, trying to make sense of the incomprehensible.

( I'll definately change those once I found better fitting/sounding ones)

So ,you guys know madoka's dopple right? This thing:

Unbeknownst by the magical girls, for non of them made it that far, this is what the witches were protecting.

They know not of their past but that eachother were dear. To others, they're horrible, disturbing creatures. But to eachother, they still see the images of the girls that once were, perhaps disorted and warped beyond recognition.

And so, they awaited the moment their dear friend could join in this misery.And celebrate the sooncoming "paradise"

(I'll decide whether to post the rest or not depending on how well this post do, this sh*t cringe as heck now that Ive written it out. )

What's everybody's favorite horror movie?

Small disclaimer before this: I am a wimp and don’t watch a lot of horror movies. Those that I do watch are almost all from the 80s and not very scary compared to modern day horror. As a result these are going to almost exclusively be 80s movies, with a few movies from other decades thrown in. 

Acht really likes Little Shop of Horrors, but they’re never going ot tell anyone. They like the plant theme and they are actually a really big fan of the music. They may or may not have secretly remixed a few of the songs.

Both Four and Gibbous love Gremlins. But what they love more is Gremlins 2. Not because it’s a good movie though. Gremlins 2 is a terrible movie. And that’s why they love it.

Callie and Marie both went through a vampire obsessed phase when they were younger, and some of that remains into today with their favorite horror movie being Lost Boys. (They both had different characters they had crushes on.) As a result, it is also Cassie and Lyra’s favorite.

Every member of Four’s family has a different Twilight Zone episode that is their favorite horror “movie”. For Shina i’ts “I Shot an Arrow into the Air,” for Birch it’s “Time Enough at Last,” and for Elle it’s “It’s a Good Life.” Four’s is “Eye of the Beholder,” and everyone in their family makes fun of them for being cliché.

Elita got really obsessed with the Alien series, having watched the first one and then binging every singe one after that.

Shiver, Megan, and Don all love Jaws. I don’t think I even need to explain that one. 

Kai loves absolutely any Tim Burton film. Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, you name it.

Frye really likes Return to Oz. I don’t think it really counts as a horror movie, but it is definitely messed up and that’s why she likes it. 

Pixel really likes any movie based on a Steven King book, especially The Shining.

Big Man likes Tremors, partially because it reminds him of his own boss fight. 

Sage is a little too obsessed with The Ghost Busters. They will often randomly start singing the theme song for no reason at all.

Captain really likes Predator, so she will binge the Alien movies with Elita.

Um… does Labyrinth count? I counted Return to Oz, so I’m counting Labyrinth too. That’s Eight’s favorite because he really really likes David Bowie. 

If Labrynth and Return to Oz count, then The Never Ending Story counts. That movie was emotionally horrifying. That’s Neo’s favorite. 

Pearl and Marina have agreed that the best horror movie is The Ring, partially because they end up both being terrified and cuddle with each other because of it.

Kaito is terrified of Nighmare on Elm Street, but at the same time he absolutely loves it.

Thank you for the ask!!! The Never Ending Story broke me as a little kid. It counts as a horror movie and I will die on this hill.

Enemies: Luther Nevrakis (dead) Empress Azura of the Iron Empire (dead)

Goals: Unify the Five Kingdoms under a peaceful rule

BACKSTORY

Kenna grew up raised by her mother, Queen Adriana, after her father's premature death. She was never interested in balls or frilly things, but rather train with a sword with her best friend, Dominic Hunter, an orphan who had been taken in by servants. Many thought that the pair were in love, but really, it was all platonic.

Kenna grew into a beautiful, yet fierce young woman who craved riding into battle and bringing glory to her kingdom. That is, until Luther Nevrakis assassinated the rulers of the Five Kingdoms, her mother included. Kenna swore to avenge her death one day.

DURING THE SERIES

After the disastrous banquet, Kenna ran away to the Ruins of Rajkur, where the monks trained her to one day retake Stormholt back into Rys hands.

Unfortunately, Prince Marco Nevrakis was obssesed with killing her so no threatn would come when it came to the sole Nevrakis rule. With Luther off to fight the Iron Empire, and Kenna having been ambushed, she ran off to Leon Stirling's camp filled with mercenaries and former Stormholt soldiers.

They soon recognized her face, for she had a bounty on her head, and she decided to fight Severin, head of the mercenaries, in exchange for loyalty and recruiting the mercenaries and soldiers. It was a tough battle, but Kenna reigned champion and decided to recruit Severin than execute him. He'd prove to be a deadly fighter.

Next they were off to Aurelia, for its wealth was famous across the realm, as well as it was hidden. The beautiful and charming queen welcomed Kenna herself and threw a banquet in her honour, and both shared a romantic moment, as well as she got acquainted with her spymaster, Raydan.

Much to her dismay, it was all a cunning ambush from Marco to capture her, and he almost succeeded, had Kenna not struck him with a hidden dagger, and escaped. Her next destination was the famous Foundry of the Technocrats.

On the Labrynth, they found a young boy by the name Whitlock, who proved to be an asset in her quest to defeating the labyrinth and its beast. Now at the Foundry, she found out that Whitlock was the leader and recruited him to her cause.

With a mighty army at her back, Kenna rode to Stormholt, where the final battle would ensue. The battle's tide favoured Kenna, but Hex's -who was Whitlock's mentor- cannon turned the tides, Kenna had to fall back in order to persevere lives.

With Dom's help on the inside, the cannon was destroyed, and Kenna went for Marco in a mighty duel, where she ended up decapitating him for his crimes.

After winning the battle, she was crowned the rightful queen and prepared herself for the next threat: Luther Nevrakis himself, who'd return soon to tighten his grip on the Five Kingdoms.

Next, she went to Thorngate, where she defeated the Nevrakis army and convinced the Thorngate people to join her cause and proclaimed Rowan Thorn as queen, although the battle had a terrible cost: the castle almost burned, and Dominic lost control of his powers, almost burning Kenna alive while trying to save her from Vassilios Nevrakis' attempt on her life.

Now with Thorngate at her side, she travelled incognito to Alriel, the famous city that was under the crude rule of Florian, who had an iron grip on the ship builders. Kenna encourages the citizens to rebel, and fight back Florian's tyranny. Although they don't dethrone Florian, they do get what they wanted... a fleet, and travel to Lykos, where terrible news are met: the Foundry has been destroyed by Hex!

Before Luther arrives, they must also take Lykos and capture Zenobia, and they have to ask for the help of the Adder of Lykos... Raydan's sister. The Adder proves to be cunning and cruel, but Kenna proves her wrong and even gives her a poisoned dagger. Making a deal with her, she parts to Zenobia's masquerade ball and discovers how cruel she can be. With her eyes on Zenobia's necklace, Kenna sees one fire user controlled by Hex and prevents him from killing while Raydan steals the necklace, and they all escape in time... but Helene Leventis, the right hand of Luther and Gabriel's killer, intercepts them. Kenna uses her wit to let her see that serving the Nevrakis ins't honourable and that she's a coward for clinging at her, and Helene finally sees reason... and joins her cause, deserting Luther.

Meanwhile, in order to weaken Nevrakis rule, Kenna sends Val into the viper's den as Zenobia's handmaiden, where Val uses her cunning to gain the princess' trust and capture her, and she does a formidable job, as well as getting intel on what Hex is planning, and even steals a weapon that proves mighty in the battle.

After much preparation, and with Dom back from his mission, they prepare for the Battle of the Bay, and while it started well, soon Kenna was in danger, but was rescued by Dom... turned into a mighty blue dragon! They both soared the skies, sinking Hex's ships and reducing Luther's army by much. While Dom kept on burning everything, Kenna faced off against Luther, and after a tough fight, she won the fight, capturing the Blood King himself.

However, Dom worked himself too far and collapsed... right into Hex's clutches, who captured and enslaved him for her own, evil purposes.

In the aftermath, while interrogating Luther, Kenna discovered why he had come back so soon to the Five Kingdoms: the Iron Empire. After that, Kenna received an invitation to visit the empire.

Everything started off well, but there was something off about the empire and the empress herself. When they invited Kenna and her companions to a championship, Leon, Kenna's personal guard and warrior, was sacrified for the empress. In her pain, rage and grief, Kenna swore to take an eye for an eye.

They fled Marossi, not without taking Clover, Azura's handmaiden, with her, as well as a wolf pup whom Whitlock taught how to talk. They'd recruit everyone in the Five Kingdoms to make alliances... starting with the Nevrakises.

Kenna invited the remaining Nevrakis family to dinner: Luther, Zenobia, Diavolos and their ally, Florian. What started as a tense situation, Kenna used her diplomacy and soon connected with the youngest son, Diavolos, whom Luther sent alongside Kenna for her mission to fight back against the Iron Empire. Kenna, Diavolos and Annelyse went to Aurelia to avoid further wreckage while Raydan and Val went to Fydoria to seek answers against Empress Azura's power.

On Aurelia, Kenna, Diavolos, Jackson and Sei fought against dragon Dom while Whitlock stayed safe in the airship. The fight was difficult, and Kenna almost died, but Dom returned to them, as well as Sei's friend Anton, and it seemed like Hex would flee again... but Whitlock intercepted her and confronted her, making her see reason, and willingly took her prisoner. Kenna decided to make use of Hex and make her work for her as redemption.

When returning to their headquarters, Kenna received devastating news: Raydan had betrayed them for Azura, and had thus injured Val in the commotion.

After days, Kenna and Raydan reunited, but she was not happy. He was a traitor, after all. As they sparred, he proved that he had been a mole in Azura's side and had discovered Azura's weakness: spells and her own daughter, Lia, whom he had brought with him as a secret weapon against the empress, who turned out to be a thousand years old. They fought off Azura's shadow assassins and interrogated Raydan about his findings after he recovered from his injuries.

With one last night before the battle, Kenna spent the night with Val, Annelyse and Diavolos. The day after, Kenna prepared for the battle as Azura's army came to Stormholt. The battle was her most difficult and challenging, and seeing that Azura had no qualms killing people left and right for her own purpose, she played the deadliest gamble: she'd fight Azura herself in a one-on-one combat against Azura.

Raydan's spionage proved fruitful and her anti-magic spells weakened Azura's offense, and when it seemed like she'd die, with one last effort, she struck Azura, killing her in the duel. In that moment, everything was fine.

But Luther Nevrakis betrayed her and tried to kill her, but Diavolos himself helped her duel him and killed him as well, thus ending all of the threats of her reign.

To celebrate, she decided to marry the love of her life, the woman she had loved all along... Annelyse Adair, Queen of Aurelia. They celebrated a lavish wedding, where Kenna was queen consort of Aurelia and Annelyse was queen consort of Stormholt.

AFTER THE SERIES

A year later, they had a baby boy, Marcellus, and while conceiving was hard on Annelyse's part, the baby was healthy and cheerful. Two years later, they'd have a girl, Ayrin, the future queen of Aurelia.

During those years, Aurynn married Raydan after thorough Fydorian courting demanded by her advisors. Diavolos and Adder never married, but suffices to say, that they were together for the rest of their lives, and through her, the Nevrakis line continued. Val remained a bachelorette-although she never lacked good company-, and Dom and Rose finally married with Trystan's approval, while Sei and Anton got together later in life.

The Five Kingdoms eventually joined officially under one country named Cordonia, with the Rys royal line still standing after many centuries.

who are these fraggles you keep preaching about i would like to know more about them

OMG!!! FRAGGLES

They are the product of Jim Henson (if you have seen a puppet he was probably involved. Some of his most popular peices of media are The Muppets, Seasame Street, Labrynth, Bear in the Big Blue House).

The fraggles are from his TV show Fraggle Rock (1983). The fraggles live in a hole in the wall of Doc and Sprokets house.

In this hole there are three species, fraggles (yippee), doozers (builders), and gorgs (they call themselves the rulers of the world, fraggle haters)

The series focuses on Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober (my favorite), and Red. They are just silly guys exploring and learning about eachother and the world around them!!

At the same time Gobos uncle, Uncle Matt explores "outer space" aka the human world and sends post cards to the fraggles about his adventures.

In the end, our main fraggles become freinds with everyone, even the gorgs!!

I grew up with the series my family owns them all on DVD set, and it's one of my favorite Henson projects :3

They released a new version on Apple TV+ recently, but I'm not that big of a fan (admittedly I went in judgemental because I hold fraggle rock in such a high light and I should probably give it a second chance.)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!! I LOVE TALKING ABT MY BABYS!!

[aphroditesanxiety]

My brother came up to me last night and told me he was reading percy jackson now. This morning he told me he was starting with the Labrynth, lol, and i said okay, but if you want to start from the beginning you can borrow my books instead of the library's. I have all of them, no surprise. I told how excited I was that I get to share this with him, I mean cmon!! This was such a big part of my life, and still very much is!! I would LOVE to help him find something like that! And he told me he found my favorite books! So now he wants to read them!! And as a kid who doesnt like reading at school that much, this makes me so happy that he found something he's interested in!!!! I waited outside with him for his bus like every morning, and we talked about the series and how much it helped me (vaguely, hes still eight), and I mentioned how not a lot of people liked that I read those books. How they told me not be so excited and to calm down about it and how our mother wanted me to stop letting it have that big part of my life. He told me "but thats not nice!! These books made you happy, why wouldn't they want you to be happy?" As I teared up, I told him I didnt know. I told him not to let anyone make you ashamed of what you love. Never stop being yourself, never let go of the things that make you happy and never stop being excited about the small things, especially if they're actually big things, even if no one else can see why they're so special. I told him when I get my liscence we can go have some brother-sister time at the libraries to read the books I dont have, and to find some cool new ones to read. And he asked if I needed money for my license, he can get his piggy bank. I told him I love him and he gets ice cream on our first sibling field trip. I wished him well off to school and now im crying to myself, because I've never been able to share this with anyone in person before, let alone my family, and now I have the opportunity to help him find the same joy in the riordanverse as I did, maybe in a different way but happiness nonetheless. We all have adhd and he has already said it makes him feel less weird at school. And he's one of the popular sports kids. I am so so so very happy about this, oh my god.

[infinity-squared-comics]

My last trans Yu-yu essay before the finale.

Listen. Yu-yu Kondo is not cis. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There’s a lot going into this headcanon, and a lot of reasons it may very well be canon. I’ve layed out many of them in a previous essay, but today I’m gonna look at stuff I either newly discovered or that was newly released. Starting off with the most recent episode (minor spoilers). One of the main metaphors uses throughout this episode was that of a dress. Now, I probably don’t have to tell you that dresses are associated with femininity. For Yu-yu specifically, this metaphorical dress that their friends have woven around them is associated with comfort. Now, why would someone choose a dress as a metaphor for comfort? Perhaps because dresses are something that comforts them, as they comfort many transfems, myself included. Next point- the actual footage of Yu-yu wearing a dress. This metaphor of Yu-yu’s friends providing “comfort like a dress” is inter-spliced with footage of the first episode, where Yu-yu met many of their friends while wearing a dress. Now, the question we must ask ourselves is, why did the creators choose to put Yu-yu in a dress in that first episode? Why did they choose to remind us of that in the penultimate episode? Why is “dress” used as a word throughout the series, for both series names and for the names of most keyword abilities (overdress, dressboost, revoldress, X-overdress, unison dress, dress up)? It’s been said that writers never put in details for no reason. Why would dresses be so heavily associated with the series and with Yu-yu themselves? Could it be that the writers are priming us for the idea that Yu-yu could be a girl? Maybe. Once again, I’d like to point out that Yu-yu uses a dress as a metaphor for comfort. This is an extremely transfem feeling.

Next up, the speeches. I’ve talked about some of Yu-yu’s heavily trans coded speeches before, but I’d like to point out that Yu-yu averages one speech about being yourself, finding yourself, accepting yourself or staying true to yourself per season (none that I remember in season 1, two in season 2, one after Danji and Tohya’s fight and one during Yu-yu’s fight with Mirei, one in season 3 during their fight with Raika, one in season four during their fight with Urara, an none as of yet in season 5, with one episode remaining). The themes of being oneself is constant throughout Yu-yu’s characterization, and is a theme that resonates with many trans people, myself included.

Now that I’ve explained the in text evidence for Yu-yu’s gender, let me explain out of text reasoning that Bushiroad might choose to have their newest protagonist come out as trans. First off, the Bridget effect. When Bridget came out as trans, she skyrocketed sales of guilty gear strive to 1,000,000 copies. A character being trans brings an extreme amount of attention in today’s sociopolitical climate- it’s a hot issue, and will lead to countless discussions from both trans allies and bigots, furthering the promotion of the franchise to new heights. In addition, Bushiroad has said that it’s important to them for every player to feel represented in vanguard. What better reason could there be to introduce a new type of character?

Bushiroad is no stranger to queer undertones and even the occasional queer overtones, from Kai and Aichi, to Miaki and Kourin, to Rummy Labrynth, to team New Nippon where it wasn’t even undertones that boy just straight up told his teammates he had a crush on them. This is not only possible, I feel it’s likely: Yu-yu is a trans character, it’s engrained in their identity and story, and I truly believe that Yu-yu coming out in next week’s episode will be the best possible conclusion to their story. What better way to end a story of self acceptance, then with becoming oneself?

reverse hot takes on etrian odyssey?

Honestly Etrian Odyssey spoiled me on grid-based dungeon crawlers. It's the golden standard that I hold everything else to. When I started playing SMT1 I was disappointed I didn't get to make my own maps. When I learned that the Made In Abyss game was 1) not a grid based dungeon crawler, 2) not very good, and 3) the entire series was actually made by an out-and-proud lolicon, I was mad. When Labrynth of Refrain took the same concepts as EO and did them worse (and with bonus lesbophobia) I got so pissed off that I just uninstalled the game. Etrian Odyssey is not a perfect series by any means (especially having the same issue with the character designer as MIA's author) but like. I have never ever found a game in the genre that I enjoy nearly as much

maybe i'm missing something cause i haven't played every legend of zelda game but what's the significance behind the owl the boar and the dragon in totk, it's a part of the hero's aspect yeah, but the outfit itself feels reminiscent of the statues you're meant to encounter first in the depths, it has zonai garbs and symbols and even the owl, boar and dragon each have their own respective 3-part temples (labrynths really but ya know what i mean) evidently it also seems like they're the first being to ever wield the master sword so it just makes me think that those three (gods?) beings played some major role in the beginning and the hero's aspect being the final shrine reward just doesn't seem like a cute little thing like the one in botw was

it'd be cool if nintendo was foreshadowing something but i have zero clue what they intend to do with loz as a series from here on and honestly i just hope they don't fall back into the comfort zone that was every loz before botw and after ocarina of time essentially, most of the games are good and fun imo i just want nintendo to stop playing it safe and ik it's for kids but the lore always fascinated me and i just think they can do so much more with it and gameplay-wise i'd like them to expand on the foundation they've established and not just have it be the new formula for loz

3 ships: Wolfspider, ..., (hm, there must be others), ..., uhhh griddlehark and rosemary? Saying you "ship" a canonical pairing seems like a misuse of the term but they both have ship names so I guess they work

First ever ship: If I try to seriously answer this then you'll have to read several pages of analysis of the term "ship" and what it does and doesn't apply to. None of which will be at all accurate for anyone who actually engages in fandom. So to simplify things lets just say rosemary.

Last song: "Tripoli" by Pinback. Its a rainy day, kind of suits the mood.

Last movie: My local arthouse theater was showing The Holy Mountain, saw it on a whim. It's pretty good. Certainly a few very memorable scenes. I will say that while I'm not a fan of the "dude how HIGH do you have to even BE etc etc" response to weird art, I probably was not in the intended headspace to fully appreciate it.

Currently reading: Oh lord. Okay gonna limit this to what I've actually picked up the past week. I've gotten to the second chapter of Umineko, I'm on 9.4 of Ward, I'm still working my way through "The Donatist Church in an Apocalyptic Age," I've just finished "Sword of the Lictor" in the Book of the New Sun series and am starting "Citadel of the Autarch," I'm making good progress on Borges' "Labrynths," and I've just started a book on Henry Darger that is way too psychoanalytical for me to take as a good piece of scholarship but is nonetheless interesting to read through. Oh and a bunch of the scholarship on Hardwig's "Duty to Die" argument and its various counters.

I probably need to sit down and just finish one of these. I'm not gonna though

Currently watching: I've been watching JJBA on and off for a bit, currently in early part 4.

Currently consuming: My third drink from the same teabag.

Currently craving: Lentils over rice and beans.

hey u like a handful of weird (compliment) looking movies/shows, what's ur favorites? like idk top 10 Things Ever

woah what a question. i don't really do top (insert number here) lists, especially of all time/ever, because my preferences come and go in phases, and my favs aren't really stagnant. that being said, though, here (in no particular order) are a handful of movies and shows (in varying amounts of weird) that i would call some of my favourites, and that are very top of mind for me recently:

Ravenous (1999) (and for that matter, pretty much all of Antonia Bird's filmography)

Farscape (1999-2003)

Robots (2005)

Wendell & Wild (2022)

Pushing Daisies (2007-2009)

Stargate Universe (2009-2011) (the rest of the stargate franchise, too, but sgu is my fav)

I Saw the TV Glow (2024)

Pom Poko (the most underrated Ghibli film in my opinion)

The DC Animated Universe (aka the Timmverse, beginning with Batman the Animated Series in 1992)

pretty much just all of Guillermo Del Toro's filmography, ESPECIALLY: Pan's Labrynth, The Tales of Arcadia, Pinocchio, The Shape of Water, and Pacific Rim

i can't really think too hard when asked stuff like this, because the more i think, the more i forget what exists in this world, let alone what i enjoy

here are some honorable mentions that aren't quite so top of mind for me right now, but i also really really enjoy HBO's Carnivàle, Netflix's Lost In Space, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, (also star trek, esp ds9), Gargoyles, 9 (2009), Resident Alien, Shallow Grave (1994)

what's your love language? which book or movie impacted you most growing up?

Hello!! Thanks for asking <3

My love language for me to other people are quality time and gift giving. But my love language for my partner to me are quality time and words of affirmation.

The book or movie that impacted me the most? Hmmmmm. That's hard cuz I was a book and movie/tv kid.

Uhhh, I have a couple in no particular order:

Movies: The dark crystal (positive), labrynth (negative), A little princess/ the secret garden (positive), the hunger games (positive) Books: Vampire Academy (first big series I finished), Icefire (first big book i read to completion), The selection (only book series i can read when in a reading slump)

I'm indecisive as hell when it comes to media so I apologise for that, BUT my answer is as true as it can be.
