Another nice day in the sky for my flight home above the fluffy white cotton wool looking clouds âŚ. A really nice weekend escape for me at my favourite place .. just not long enough âŚ. Itâs always a dreaded feeling leaving my favourite place .. like pieces of me are left there waiting for my return again âŚ. Hopefully I wonât be gone for too long before my next trip .. to be back for longer again soon âŚ. đâ¤ď¸

"the Gabe and Sally dynamic in the show is abusive" and "the way they've portrayed Gabe in the show is distinctly different from his book counterpart and fans can criticize that" are two discussions that can coexist
#I understand that this is hard topic to navigate#but me saying that /they've changed Gabe and that's consequently altered the dynamic he has with Sally in way I don't like/#is NOT me saying I don't think what they've portrayed onscreen is non-abusive#or that I WANT to see him abuse her???#its just the guy in the show while clearly controlling and abusive (emotionally and financially so far)#...I don't believe he's the guy who's presence was so horrid and disgusting MONSTERS avoided him#I wouldn't call him /Smelly/#in the book his abuse (all forms) is much more overt#(and just to be painstakingly clear: abuse doesn't have to be overt to be abuse)#but the guy in the show does not have the same presence as the guy in the book#book Gabe is menacing#he growls and he threatens and both Sally and Percy have developed very specific responses to deal with it#I've seen one take saying that people can't recognize the abuse in the show because its not physical (yet?)#but even disregarding the physical abuse entirely#if you compare the book scene and TV show scene of Percy arriving home and he and Sally readying for Montauk#there is a pretty stark difference in tone#and in how both Sally and Percy interact with Gabe#in the book Sally goes out of her way to avoid /provoking/ Gabe and asks Percy to do the same until they can leave for Montauk#and Gabe is just itching for any excuse to keep them home#and imo if Book Sally had said the things that show Sally did to Gabe#Gabe wouldn't have let them gone!#and again im not saying that the show's depiction is nonabusive#or unrealistic#im saying its simply /different/ than the book#and im upset that it doesn't feel like dynamic depicted the book#and no book sally is no simpering wilting flower#but she's also not what they depicted in the show either#pjo adaptation#sally jackson#pjo

some designs for tusken era boba :)
unarmored/pre krayt hunt armored/post krayt hunt
alternative lighting style and flat colors
#star wars#boba fett#tbobf#book of boba fett#tusken raiders#tusken#redbean art#sw au#<- maybe?#in which the tribe doesnt get killed bc they were off on a krayt hunting trip when cad bane/pykes arrived#the krayt hunt in question is the same one din cobb and dins tusken friends were on#that is also how boba got his armor back#he showed up to help w the hunt; saw cobb in the background; and promptly tackled the guy to get his stuff back#the red fabric on his pre krayt mask mimics the visor paint#the visor and filter are based off his early krayts claw helmet#the belt plates are engraved with jasters jp and mandalor sigils#partially in remembrance and partially so he doesnt end up looking like maul's death watch/shadow collective commandos lol#the shoulder teeth (arranged like his wookiee braids) are from the six legged sand creature he killed#because i think the tuskens would be very supportive of his monster tooth collecting hobby from that one comic#post krayt he gets to keep a krayt tooth but it doesnt fit on his belt so he keeps it in his tent or something#in the post krayt design most of his armor is layered between the inner and outer robes#he gets more souvenir teeth arranged like the tusken mentors belt beads#couldnt decide whether to leave the tusken horns on or off post krayt#but i couldnt figure out a good way to adhere them to the helmet without blocking the rangefinder rotation or having to glue them#so no tusken horns for the post krayt design

Also do you think Venti heard about Ei closing down the borders of Inazuma, thought about Decarabian and old Mondstadt, and went 'lol this is going to become a disaster'
#genshin impact#genshin talk#'this is going to be a disaster but not my region not my problem'#actually wait he may have been asleep during that#same sentiment though probably heard it and went 'huh good luck'#ei and deca are pretty similar in some ways. never leaves the house. thinks they're doing good#people are suffering under them and an uprising is brewing#hey if the traveller arrived in old mondstadt would they have been able to save decarabian

GOD I hate the feeling of finishing a story you've been with for a while
the emptiness that takes its place!!!!
#not even being dramatic this is just how it feels every time#until it doesn't#and the worst parts is and this is a little secret i will leave in the tags here#like of course I'm looking forward to kod books arriving and i will read them and it will be so good#but those will not be the same characters#i will not get them back in the book#because this already happened! when i read modao#listen i love modao but like#it was different#and it didn't ''fix'' the ending for me#in fact i still love drama's ending more as a concept#and like here#in the spirealm drama the CONCEPT was actually really really cool as well#but they couldn't go for it till the end cause of reasons we know#and the book will not have it!!#this story right here? it stays where it is#and NOW I'm being dramatic#door gods and gay coders#chattering

Control over time
#ramble in tags! this is my current idea for what Mao is doing in the current arc#because unlike Fumiko Mao actually cares about Denji and Nayuta outside of just being people she should be around because of her job/#agreement with Public safety. so she wouldn't abandon Nayuta in the middle of that mob like Fumiko did#anyways backtracking a bit. So when Fumiko arrived at Denji's apartment as it's being burnt down by Barem and the weapon hybrids#she brings Mao (devil form) along with her instead of the random PS backup dudes#(she went after her in the time she split from Denji and Nayuta. as before that Mao was dealing with the followers at the csm church#alongside Katana and Nail. she tried to see if she could revert the transformed humans back to normal but it's sorta like fiend logic#so she couldn't do much other than cure their injuries since they're pretty much just devils by that point)#back to present time. Fumiko sends Mako to attack Barem#she injuries and throws him to the ground but then Whip appears and makes a huge dent in a side of her head before cutting Mao in half#hence why the blood and ripped clothes she has in this drawing#so Mao is down. temporary as she isn't fully dead but can't to much other than keep moving the clock pointers around and regenerating#Barem tries to choke Nayura and Fumiko shoots him in the head. then the fight between Denji and the weapons + the subsequent mess#with the random citizens attacks him happens pretty much the same#Fumiko leaves Nayura on her own and when she looks to the side she sees Nao crawling in her direction#she asks her to give her some time and she'll be able to fight again. so Nayuta starts killing people and by the time Barem gets the mob#to go kill her Mao is back at full strength and fights back to defend her. subsequently the two of them escape#so Mao is helping Nayuta on whatever she's currently doing. if she's alive that is#if it does turn out that Nayura is dead dead then i may leave Mao with the devil hybrids for the time being. they have a weird relationship#csm#csm oc#chainsaw man#csm part 2#hyena scribbles#Mao Masashige#Nayuta csm

When Eddie comes out as gay the funniest thing Buck can do is set him up on a blind date with Josh only for Buck to learn too late that Josh and Eddie don't like each other.
#911 on abc#9-1-1 on abc#911 abc#evan 'buck' buckley#eddie diaz#josh russo#gay eddie diaz#bi buck#they don't hate each other but they also don't get along they're oil and water#they're also adults and know how to exist in the same space without acting childish#i think it'd be funny buck being proud setting them up and telling maddie and chimney only for them to tell buck they don't like each other#only it's too late and eddie and josh arrive at the restaurant to see that buck set them up with each other#and despite not liking each other they stay because they rag on buck for setting them up because they're the only 2 gay guys he knows#3 eddie corrects josh but buck cant set either of us up with his bf#and i also think josh clocks Eddieâs feelings for buck but promises to keep them to himself#and they leave the dinner not closer but with a newfound respect for each other#plus i think it'd be a good way of tackling how not every gay person has to like each other#and also how to be an adult around people you don't like#neither will let buck live this down and also have a weird understanding where if they're in the same room at least they can#bitch and gossip with each other

thinking about bob coming home and surprising you with ice cream from your favorite ice cream place, and yâall snuggle up on the couch with your treats to watch a movie đĽš
#my fantasy rn because iâm getting ice cream but have to get it myself#and therefore i canât get cozy in my pjs because i have to do an everything shower first and i donât wanna leave the house after i showered#bc that defeats the purpose of showering#and if i bring the ice cream home and do my shower it will melt#and yes i can put it in the freezer but that defeats the purpose of a hot fudge sundae#it lol be a cold fudge sundae#it will*#not the same experience#do you see my girl dilemma#like why canât i hop in the shower and by the time iâm done bob will be arriving with fresh sundaes

qsmp makes me feel like a conspiracy theorist almost constantly. I see someone go "yeah bad almost exclusively chooses tophats in games when given the option" and I immediately run back to my conspiracy board and pin that next to the photo of q!slime and q!mariana saying they'll adopt juanaflippa because she has glasses like q!slime/q!mariana respectively under a sticky note captioned "??? the original spanish-english egg pairs were designed in a way meant to attract certain parents to adopting them???", that's connected by red string to a note pad page stating "how random was the parent pairing REALLY?" with nothing under it - which is then connected to a string that leads to several polaroids containing the ending(s) of the wall and the wreckage of the button, captioned "why build a wall that big only to have it end at a certain point?" followed by a string connected to a notebook page in the middle of the board reading "the illusion of choice?" - connected to several other seemingly dead-end questions and theories, as well as some slight stragglers only connected to eachother and not the middle. and then I look over my board covered in feverish notes and I go. yeah okay so I may just have like a slight problem
#quesadilla island and the illusion of choice.#i am so normal#I spent. a little bit too long on this bit I think.#saying stuff#I have more thoughts but it's just the generic stuff.#why does the federation want the residents on the island so badly. how did wilbur even leave the island.#why did islanders from the island itself vs others who aren't arrive the same way. what the fuck is up with the codes.#why do the feds insist on having a good rapport with the islanders. why do they try to desensitize them to their presence via tasks.#why do they try so hard to look non-threatening to the point even grunt workers carry around bubble wands to blow on the regular.#a lot of this is easily âthe federation wants to build trustâ but that's also a why. what do they stand to gain from doing that.#hold on where's my nerd tag#i think.#oh my god really.#that's. okay yeah that checks out actually#qsmp#quackity smp#q!cellbit a man of the people (I am burning with questions about the federation all of the time oh my god.)#edit if you see spelling mistakes in this post do not correct me please I have a fragile ego#I did not notice until four hours had passed and now I'm committed to pretending I do not in fact care about it

gonna snap one day and run through the halls of media critique screaming A PLOTHOLE IS NOT WHEN THERE IS AN EASILY EXTRAPOLATED AND OBVIOUS ANSWER TO A QUESTION THAT THE WRITERS DID NOT THINK EVEN NEEDED TO BE EXPLAINED OUT LOUD BECAUSE THEY EXPECTED YOU TO USE YOUR BRAIN JUST A L I T T L E
#i swear to god this is going to make me lose my mind#âum they didnât show us how this character who has access to multiple forms of transportation travelled a short distance to get to a placeâ#motherfucker unless thereâs a reason they shouldnât be able to travel thatâs not a plothole#you���re being a nitpicky cinemasins trained dumbass who actively seeks to make stories worse??? STOP IT#donât even get me started on how another lane here is people who just donât pay attention to media#and then go âwell how could i be expected to remember things in a story they should simply reexplain everything to me every single episodeâ#fuck ooooooooffffff#todayâs annoyance brought to you by âwhy isnât taissa at her job being a state senatorâ (because she hasnât been sworn in yet ftlog)#and âhow could people arrive at the same destination at roughly the same time after leaving at different times???â#when the answer is TWO OF THEM DROVE FROM OHIO TO UPSTATE NY AND THE OTHER FROM JERSEY#ONE DRIVE TOOK LONGER! BECAUSE OHIO IS FARTHER AWAY? LITERALLY THIS IS HOW GEOGRAPHY WORKS

Progress with the Nirnroot embroidery is slow but steady. Let's see if I can finish this leaf today :)
#embroidery#nirnroot embroidery#i have a bunch of different shades of very light blue and green for this#and the glow-in-the-dark floss will arrive today too#i am however thinking about adding some dark grey accents/lines in the 'shaded' parts of the leaves#and some pebbles in the same grey so it's not floating in thin air#.... or no pebbles and some off-white roots like when you have it in your inventory

the way i can see ted following in his father's footsteps after that finale
Edit: ok I've had some sleep and took some time and I don't actually think that. I still agree with the tags though
#he was not happy. HE WAS NOT HAPPY#he never learned the lesson they kept hitting us over the head with. that he needed to let people in and accept help#which was said by his mum in the pub and sorta referenced when higgins said that the way to grow as a person was to accept help#the last two episodes only emphasized the way richmond was where he belonged. he was integrated with the community he had a support system#he knew the vocabulary he finally understood football#âthey say there's no place like home but there's no place like richmondâ#and then he just. leaves.#he arrives to the sound of a song about a father pushing social morms and conformity onto his kid#and the show closes with his face. hes smiling but it doesn't reach his eyes.#the final song is about a person who has never been brave enough to fight for what the wanted#hes coaching a little league football team. emulating to same thing he did in richmond. and it feels empty#it feels fake. like the idyllic suburban neighborhood#compared to the bright community of richmond#fuck#ted lasso spoilers#ted lasso

Hello! Are you still doing requests for the drabble game? (If not it's still okay!!)
I've been browsing the milgram tags and I keep seeing your drabbles here and there and I've been so in love with each and single one of them. You characterize them in a way that feels so canon I wish it was actually real. Your stories are such a delight to read!
I'd like to request Lies + Kazui and Yuno, or Kazui with anyone really. He's been a liar through and through and I'd like him to talk with someone about it, and Yuno's the only other prisoner who can truly understand him. Especially with Kazui's trial going on and him leaning guilty, he would be more antsy than usual. (But if there's another scenario you'd like that's totally fine as well ^^) Thanks!
Aww thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed! :D And thank you for the request, these two are so interesting !! I imagine that Kazui can tell from the voices he hears that he's leaning guilty, or at least very close in the middle. Here's him and Yuno, following an instinctual lie that she just can't leave alone...
âIâm doing fine,â Kazui said, perfectly accustomed to lying about himself. He was used to putting on a smile when his insides were yanked into knots. He was used to ignoring signs under the surface for the sake of others. There was one thing he wasnât prepared for, though, and that was Yuno Kashiki.
âMmm, no youâre not.â She said matter-of-factly. She braided her hair in a complex pattern, hardly even looking at Kazui. Instead, her eyes stayed fixed on the tiny handheld mirror sheâd propped up on the table in front of her.
It wasnât the first time sheâd caught him in one of his lies. Sheâd been merciful in the past, allowing the group to laugh it off and move on. Now, in private, she seemed much less forgiving. She wasnât the only one in an unforgiving mood (which, conveniently, brought him back to the root of the problem.)
âWhat are you doing with your hair?â He peered over from behind. âIt looks nice -- whatâs the occasion?â
Her voice lilted as she said, âoh, well Iâm so glad you asked! Iâm celebrating the day that prisoner number seven tried and failed to hide his true feelings from me after I asked him oh-so politely how he was doing!âÂ
He returned her smile with a pained one. âIâm not hiding anything. Iâm doing as well as any other prisoner. Better than most, for that matter.â
She returned to her task. âThatâs a pretty low bar.â
âHeh, I guess.â
âSo? Whatâs eating at you?â
âJust annoying young women who canât leave an old man aloneâŚâÂ
He thought they could leave it at that. Yuno disagreed.Â
âCome on, itâs just us. Be honest.â
After a pause, he furrowed his brow. âWhy?âÂ
Yuno wasnât the nosy type. She could have probably gone through all three trials without knowing a single thing about the othersâ sins. Sheâd been even more solitary this trial, forgoing the usual gossip and conversation. For some reason, she seemed unmovable on this request.
She caught his gaze through the mirror. He could only see one of her eyes, but from her angle she probably saw most of his face. âBecause it hurts, to lie.â
It did. It had hurt for years. Even when his act became second nature, when the words flowed easily and his body moved without pause, the truth was still somewhere deep inside trying to eat him alive. Here in Milgram, he continued to feel its ache. Now, on top of the same old lies, he was trying to play the part of the calm and collected adult. Yuno was right about the bar being low -- the prisoners were in a sorry state. He had to be strong for them. She herself wasnât doing well; despite the airs she put up, she was struggling just as much. (She wasnât the only one who could pick up on someone elseâs well-worn mask.)
So he couldnât be honest and falter in front of her, either. Aware that his silence would be equally telling, he asked, âare you speaking from experience?â
âIâm not letting you change the subject,â Yuno pursed her lips, âbut Iâll never miss an opportunity to talk about myself.â
She shifted in her chair, now turning away from the mirror to look at Kazui. He was taken aback with how smoothly the confessions spilled from her. âYes, I know firsthand what itâs like. I know how much it hurts to lie to someone who loves you. I know what itâs like to wait until the last moment to say something, realizing itâs too late, and youâre screwed. Iâve had to cover up my pain in front of others, pretend like itâs all fun and games when itâs clearly not. And most of all, I know what itâs like to be caught in the middle of the wardenâs judgment.â
âI donât know what you mean.â He did.Â
Being named guilty is the worst fate for a lot of reasons. The thought of being forgiven, though, felt worse. There was no winning. Just another thing to claw at him from the inside out.
âIt hurts, Kazui. I know you feel it. I realized how much all that secrecy tore me apart inside, so I came completely clean to the warden during my interrogation. I thought maybe it could help you, too.â
His expression softened. As much as Yuno wanted to be independent of this whole situation, there was always a part of her that wanted to treat others right. Seeing her intentions were pure, he felt himself relax under her gaze.Â
âTelling them the truth⌠and being forgiven afterwards⌠will it help this ache, then?â He placed a hand on his chest. It was easier to direct his questions at her, but it was clear he was curious about his own fate. âDo you feel at peace now? Can you forgive yourself?âÂ
She turned back around. Her eye watched him from the mirror once more.Â
âYes,â she told him, and Kazui knew he wasnât the only liar here.
#milgram#kazui mukuhara#yuno kashiki#ahh thank you sm! you guys are so kind ;-; and YES i really love yuno and theyd have such interesting interactions...#its cool that shes a liar who completely opened up in milgram while kazui doubled down on his secrets since arriving#with every drabble im like DAMN these two prisoners are exactly the same đ
#i know we're not sure on yunos story but its easy to piece together she and kazui were pretending to love someone they didnt#and after opening up about the truth (gay) (baby) they were wholly rejected#i also think its sweet that they both stay pretty distant but still look out for the others#yunos shown to be caring despite her isolation and kazui accepts his role as the protector#i was half referencing that one timeline convo where she calls him out about his taste in women#but im sure its happened more than that lol#and yeah i really Hope this verdict helps yuno forgive herself but given the story so far i cant be sure ;--;#sorry i always leave an extra rant in the tags asdfsdfds#i hope you enjoyed!!#drabbles
