Y'ALL

I just saw an article about this incredible photoshoot and I'm completely obsessed.

During covid restrictions, photographer Steven Haining was joking with some friends that "well hey if we all have scuba tanks we could all be breathing our own air during a photo shoot" and then was like wait hold on that's not a bad idea.

Flash forward, and he's doing a full photo shoot in Fathom Five National Marine Park.

Now please keep in mind that this park is in Tobermory, Canada, on Georgian Bay. It is COLD. The water temp is about 14 C (or 57 F) in the middle of July when they did this shoot. They shot for close to 30 minutes at a depth of 9.5m (32 ft) with the model, Ciara Antoski, having a support person nearby at all times to give her air. Everyone else is in full wetsuits or even dry suits and she has this pretty dress and a weight belt. I have been swimming in Georgian Bay. It is COLD. This is incredibly impressive and must have required intense training.

The results are breathtaking.

And safety first of course:

Link to the photographer's website:

I cannot find any links for the model Ciara Antoski but if I do I'll add them here.

Anyways. Figured this is the kind of thing tumblr might appreciate!

Hate to be that one person who completely missed the homoerotic codependency that was going on in Hymn to Virgil on genius.com

in the scenario where Mephone is friends with other object show hosts, do y'all think that he stays up at night trying to reassure himself that the other hosts are real?

⚠️WARNING⚠️

This post includes mentions of:

Rape

Sexual assault

Blog The Great Rouge

NaJ/Need and Jock AU

Mentions of children being sexualized and having NSFW art drawn of them

Again, Rouge as a whole warning, the person who made the PJ's Daycare AU

This entire post deals with dark topics and if I missed any warnings for the list, I apologize in advance.

What the fuck

. . .

I'm...

I fully expected for people to be hateful about this but no one is. Two people have literally said it brings up bad memories! What the fuck is this?!-

This comic is genuinely so problematic. I don't care that its "nostalgic" or whatever the fuck.

"Ignore the creator" till you realize that the Creator tried to justify rape.

Literally in the comic Goth rapes Pallette. Pallette is of course traumatized, a whole thing happens, amd Goth tries to kill himself. Then Palette's all like: "No I wanted to, I just wasn't ready, I wanted it which was why I didn't stop you."

. . .

What the actual fuck

She even fucking drew it happening, which is even worse.

Horror x Cross Chara in his child form is a thing. Btw there's art of them fucking as well.

Killer ships incest in the comic. Automatically, ew. "Nightmare x Dream is so forbidden" maybe cause their brothers. Blood brothers. They are siblings.

Also everyone in these comics are most likely under 18 because they are in highschool meaning the creator drew child porn. Child porn people. You fuckers can not be serious saying: "Let's just ignore the creator guys!"

Disgusting.

And before any mother fucker starts going: "It's just Gacha-" THERE'S PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THIS WHO ARE LIKE THIS! I can not. I just- How the fuck can people be like this? This isn't a situation where you can just remove a creator from the AU, the AU itself is so fucked that you have to rewrite everything from scratch. Even then I don't think many people can see the AU in the same way.

If I see one person saying that it's just pixles, that it doesn't affect reality, I'm going to scream. This comic and many others affected so many people in the Undertale community that even to this day people are still unable to even think of the damn things.

I can't. I genuinely fucking can't with people. One moment mother fuckers are being overly sensitive about shit and now they're pulling this bullshit! WHY DO YOU PEOPLE DO THIS? WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS LIKE THIS, FICTIONAL OR NOT, ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE OKAY!?

Just might go insane, I can feel my sanity dropping. Dude I haven't even went into detail about this damn AU there's so much. All of the Rouge comic bullshit has so much.

It’s kind of a gross misstatement to say Cas was simply a bad friend during the season 6 arc. Dean was also a jackass. He refused to even listen that Cas had his own problems to contend with in heaven and just insulted him (Baby in a Trenchcoat) or took him for granted and prayed when he needed some angelic boost like the time travel. It was only after months of this that Dean finally had a half-ass “Hey Cas, if you need any assistance with your heavenly war, let us know”. Dean and Castiel are both equally at fault for the initial breakup.

I'm not sure why I'm getting this particular question, but yup, I agree that the situation was complex.

One of Dean's legendary coping mechanisms/neuroses is to get prickly and mean when the going gets tough, and I love to talk a lot with regards to both the fighting/hunting and the parenting of Jack Kline.

For Dean and Cas, they're both deliciously Going Through It (TM) in season 6 in different ways, Cas dealing with paranoia via the fallout of Heavenly betrayal and Dean with his complicated feelings of displacement into civilian life.

I sort of miss the days of TV when people got to screw up this badly with one another, but not in such a way that it’s bludgeoning, mean-spirited cynicism, hehe. (((For example, I struggle to think of a modern era of SPN where Bobby's frustration and worry over Dean would boil out in this horrifying way: "You sorry--you're not a person," when in actuality, he's desperately begging Dean not to die, and it's coming out all wrong. Or Dean's indirect forgiveness of Cas, that Cas picks up on immediately by tone alone: "Bottom of the ninth...I'd rather have you, cursed or not.")))

But if we're talking about season 6, Cas is controlling most of the means of communication from the get-go, and the power is definitely weighted in his favor. He sets the tone for it as soon as his big heart leads him to abruptly flit from the car to go and rescue Sam. BUT it's also no accident that Dean's narrative nickname for Cas is SUPERMAN. A perfect, invincible superhero. Dean took him for granted, hero-worshipped him, and conceptualized him as perfect... something Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets reflects back in an off-key manner: "I thought he was perfect...he was a monster (and hurt my child)." The truth with Dean and Cas is not either extreme, however. ("That nifty metaphor has holes:" Cas was trying to save Sam from the get-go, on multiple occasions.) It's the humanity that's in the middle.

It's lovely! And to me, it feels so real, too. Maybe someone else can chime in, but I don't have any huge, complicated feelings about this except that I really, really like the disillusionment period on both sides!

“We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” - Pema Chödrön

Love isn't baggageless perfection. It's understanding, forgiveness, resilience.

DEAN (in the dream state, to MARY): I hate you. (Deans voice breaks as tears run down his face) I hate you. And I love you. 'Cause I can't – I can't help it. You're my Mom. And I understand...'cause I have made deals to save the ones I love more than once. (Mary continues to look away but seems to hear him) I forgive you. I forgive you. For all of it. Everything.

Not to be a sappy fool but I've got that feeling again, just feeling right at home in a community, y'all are the fucking best moots ever and you can consider this a little kiss to the top of your head (or a hug/high five) for being so wonderful, talented and inspiring me to write.

📽 action!: rank all six of the films (or three if you're a hater)

Answers for this LotR ask-game.

Ahh okay so at this point I have to confess something terrible: I still have not seen the third Hobbit movie. I'm sorry! I just couldn't do it. The fuckery of it all, especially in the second movie with Mirkwood and Thranduil and Legolas ("a lowly Silvan elf" what the FUCK what the fuck PJ WHAT THE FUCK), was just too much for me. Character-assassination is one thing, and I thought after Denethor I knew what I was going to be getting with Thranduil but NOPE! It was literal world building assassination and I just CANNOT.

Don't get me wrong, Lee Pace did an amazing job and actually seeing Mirkwood was amazing and it was genuinely delightful to see Orlando put those ears on again; but the OuTrAgE that filled my heart at the yeet-ing of what minimal canon we even have for the Mirkwood elves was just intolerable, and while I did mean to go see it, really I did, I just...couldn't actually get the motivation to go before it was out of theatres. I've heard the EE are better (less studio fuckery) so I'll watch them someday! Honest! I just...haven't. yet.

And as to the Lord of the Rings trilogy...man, I don't even know how to do this. In terms of which is the best film, or in terms of which one I enjoy watching most, or in terms of which on hits me in the heart hardest or...? I don't know if I can objectively rank my feelings about these movies even in my own brain because RotK ends with Into the West and I have FeelingsTM about the Undying Lands and Sea Longing okay. So the last scene of RotK at the Grey Havens is a fucking spear through the heart every time and I can't even describe the knot of feelings it engenders, and I think overall TTT may be my favorite but also it has Plot Issues that piss me off even more than the Plot Issues in RotK I think,...yeah, we're going to do this in terms of Film Crafting rather than personal favorites because I'm having too many feelings lmao. So! In order of most-well-done-movie to least:

Fellowship of the Ring

The Two Towers

Return Of The King

The Desolation of Smaug

An Unexpected Journey

guys you're actually so insane for this

this isn't shit that happens

like, what, i'm legit stunned !

[tvrningout-a]

making a complete 180 turn and thinking about chiyo having someone she can call at 2 am like " i can't sleep bc i've got writer's block driving me up the wall and this stinkin' chapter is due tomorrow -- do you wanna get ramen at the convenience store with me?? " and just late night escapades in general once the other person realizes chiyo is awake at ungodly hours bc she's a goblin who draws and writes whenever the inspiration hits. the intimacy of being very sleepy and tired but too stressed to actually sleep and going to someone for the comfort of company... honestly it really says something if you get to that point with chiyo :' )
