been chatting with a friend who's playing through PN2 again and i want it to be known i will not hear anyone say a WORD about Hollis giving Raz a hard time at the beginning of the game. if anything she is OUTSTANDINGLY accommodating to this random ten-year-old who wandered in unattended off the plane in the middle of an extremely tense situation
#psychonauts#psychonauts 2#like come on look at it from her perspective. she's stressed and overworked#her boss (who she's covering for) has just been brought in practically comatose#and she's just been informed there might be a mole in their spy organisation. which is kind of a big deal#and then this kid shows up out of nowhere like 'hi! i'm your new agent!! :D'#honestly she has every right to tell him to take a hike lol#but she doesn't! she sees his enthusiasm and commitment and decides to hear him out and get him a place in the intern program#even at her worst and most stressed she's someone who wants to /nurture/ that enthusiasm and that talent#and i think that's really important to understanding her character#she's great. she's a great person and a great teacher and everyone should appreciate her. the psychonauts don't deserve her

This wasn't fair. This wasn't fair. This wasn't fair!
She thought, for one moment, she could put the mask down and breathe – for one moment of daydreaming, she thought she could just be Furina. She thought she would finally get to live the live she should've had in the first place, the life she threw away to play God to an audience who saw her as nothing but a circus animal, dancing to their whims. Furina just wanted to be selfish for one brief and fleeting moment..and it was gone before she could even grasp it in her hand. A comet soaring past far out of her reach.
She can barely keep her hands from violently shaking as she looks down at them – broken and bloody and more a corpse then a person – and she feels so numb she can't even feel the rain pelting against her back. None of this is fair, she wants to scream, why is it always me? But her voice is silent beneath the torrent of rain. She wonders if the ocean would take her if she sank into it's depths – just for a moment, she wonders how it would feel to finally be able to sleep at ease.
Furina is tired.
But Furina is nothing if not useful, isn't she?
So she forces her feet to move, dragging against the stone beneath her heels, and drags their bloodied body into the nearest empty building, letting the rain do the work of washing away the smeared blood following her path. The smell makes her feel sick, the feeling of it sticking to her hands and gloves makes her lightheaded, but she persists. Because Furina is useful, because Furina won't let them die out in the rain, because Furina won't stand by and just let them rot on the streets like some..pest.
Furina wants to go home. She wants to sleep and she isn't she if she wants to wake up, this time. But she keeps going anyway.
Because it's all she's ever done, and the habit sticks.
An Archon she may not be, not anymore, but the expectations of five hundred years still linger like eyes on the inside of her skull. They watch her, pry and prod at her thoughts, mocking laughter and judging eyes following her as she forces herself to dance to the song they weave with glee. Furina never stepped off that stage – she's still there, she thinks, watching the crowd stare at her in disdain as the curtain call looms above her like a guillotine. She still hears Neuvillette deliver her damnation and salvation with a trembling voice, still feels her hair stand on end when electro crackled like the crack of the whip, Clorinde's blade aimed at her like a loaded gun.
She's trapped on that stage and she never left, not really.
She hates it. She thinks she hates them, but it's not their fault. They didn't ask for this, didn't ask for everyone to turn against them, didn't ask for her to save them. Neither did she..yet here they are, she thinks.
She tries to tell herself she's in control this time, though. She can stop performing her part in this horrible, bloody play any time she wants. It makes her feel better, just for a little while, if she convinces herself she's still Furina, painfully human.
And Furina has always been good at lying.
It's the believing that's the hard part.
There isn't time for her to wallow in her own self pity, though. They're still bleeding out onto the dusty, creaky floorboards of some random, broken down house and she's just standing there as the blood stains the wood. She can fix it – she's good at fixing things. She's done nothing but fix things – try to, anyway – for five hundred years. She can fix a little wound, how hard could it be? Her hands are clenched so tight they ache as she kneels down, wincing at the creak of the floorboards beneath her heels– she hesitates just long enough to wonder if she's making a mistake before she peels away just enough of the outer layer of their clothes to see the deep, bloody gash across their chest. She tries not to think about it – it's deep, too deep, and she feels dizzy just looking at it, but she's handled worse, right?
Furina can fix it. That's what she's good at.
She doesn't feel so confident when she tries to wrack her brain for..something. Five hundred years, and a little wound stumps her? No, she had to have learned something, right? She's decidedly not trying to buy time because she's panicking, parsing through hundreds of years of memories like flipping through a book. Furina isn't made for this, not really – she's running on nothing but adrenaline and she's really not sure what she's doing, but she's trying. And just like before, it won't be enough, will it?
She'll fall short again – she'll be too late to fix it before she's alone again.
Furina was an Archon..used to be. What use would she have for that sort of knowledge? Which makes her predicament all the more harrowing and bleak. What was she supposed to do?
Furina had heard it first hand, that vitriol in Neuvillette's voice. She isn't sure she's ever heard him that..angry before. She's not sure he would listen to her if she tried, either. And that scares her more then anything. All of Fontaine was up in arms about this..imposter, yet here she was, staring down at them bleeding out in front of her, and she was trying to save them.
Why? Why is she throwing away her only chance at normalcy for a fraud? Why didn't she just turn them in?
They were dying – that should've been a good thing, shouldn't it? So why didn't it feel like it?
"Why you?" Her voice breaks as she speaks in harsh tones, grabbing the front of their shirt in trembling, bloodied hands. "Why now?" She wants to scream, to demand answers they can't give, to claw back the reprieve she was promised after five hundred years of agony..and all she can do is sob into their chest, pleading for an answer that will not come. "Why me?"
Silence is their answer, and it hangs heavy on her trembling shoulders as she cries.
Of course they don't, she thinks bitterly, no one has ever answered her pleas spoken in hushed sobs. Not her other self and certainly not them.
Furina has always been alone. Furina will always be alone.
Because Furina never left that stage, never left that moment when she looked at herself in the mirror and took up a mantle too heavy for her to bear. She always finds her way back eventually. There's no one on the other side anymore – she stands alone on a stage, waiting for an inevitable end she isn't sure will come.
"Please," She pleads through tears and choked sobs, clinging to them like they are all that keeps her from sinking. "Please don't leave me, too." The words burn on her tongue – how pathetic is she that she craves companionship from the bloodied body of the imposter? Perhaps she's truly lost her mind after all these years..perhaps she's finally gone mad. She must have.
But their presence is like the first feeling of gentle warmth upon her skin as the sun crests the horizon, like the gentle lap of tides along her heels, the sway of branches and leaves as the wind blows through them like an instrument all it's own. They are the soothing sound of rain against the window as she watches the dreary skies in fond longing, the first bloom of spring as color blooms upon the landscape like paint had been spilled across the hills and valleys.
They are like the faint spark she carefully nurtures and stokes, so fragile even the smallest wind could blow it out like a candle. She cradles it within her palms, pleads with whoever will listen – prays that someone finally listens, because if not for her, then for them.
She's failed to protect too much already, let too many people with so much trust in her fall between the cracks of her fingers like grains of sand. She won't let them go – she can't.
If nothing else, if she couldn't be saved when she begged for salvation from that five hundred year long agony, even if she never got that chance..
Furina will make sure they do.

ok bear with me; this logan who saved rich bratty kid wade from getting mugged one night that resulted in wade hiring him as his bodyguard, but logan refused since he doesn't do that kind of thing anymore so wade hired him as his driver instead. paid him double from what he usually received from his clients just to drive him around aimlessly all because he only wanted logan's company.
and after a few days, a few attempts at getting logan to touch him, lots of heavy sexual tension, wade managed to ask logan to spend a night with him. even offering to pay any amount logan needs, to which he almost get punched for. obviously, logan brushed him off, but he couldn't help water at the "twenty thousand dollar, just one night" proposal.
maybe with that money he could finally get whatever it was charles wanted so he'd shut up, and maybe put laura to a decent school too. also, he'd be lying if he said he's not curious. he might be old but he's still a man with needs. so he took up on the offer and slept with wade.
and maybe he did it for the money at first, but when he left in the morning while the much younger guy was still asleep, he didn't take it.
#will they meet again after that? who knows#but i do know wade rode the Life out of logan that night#one look at logan and wade decided he's ready to be logan's controversially young boyfriend#and maybe wade keeps causing troubles in hopes logan would show up and save him again#like a damsel in distress that he pretend he is#deadpool and wolverine#poolverine#deadclaws#wade wilson#logan howlett

Kinda hard to convey my idea for the voice of the skeptic cause I keep shoving them into shadows, but my design's feathers are vantablack ("whats light?" black)
#i decided his feather would be like that#cause it's funny if the skeptic is the hardest to read/understand#i tried showing this in the mirror drawing with not even the light on the mirror showing on him lol#i probably sound stupid rn to someone who actually knows this stuff cause i looked up what the name was for this kind of black like 1min ago#his eyes glow the most out of any voice#art#slay the princess fanart#slay the princess#voice of the skeptic

teen wolf meme: [2/2] locations -> the hale house
I've been having dreams. Dreams, or nightmares? Nightmares... About a fire. It's this-this house, and I can hear screaming-
#teen wolf#peter hale#derek hale#scott mccall#allison argent#jackson whittemore#chris argent#lydia martin#twedit#twgifs#mine#my gifs#twmeme#LETSGO HAUNTED HOUSE#also jeff davies i noticed that the architecture of the house doesn't match like at all when it's a burned down husk and the version peter#shows lydia of before#don't think i didn't#also there's a like 1 second clip in co-captain of one of the perpetrators of the fire pouring gasoline on the house and it again looks#nothing like what peter showed lydia#so either peter lies about the weirdest things (he does) or jeff davies doesn't care about continuity (he doesn't)#anyways it's one of those inconsistencies in the show i've decided to read as a powerful metaphor instead#the fire of the hale house was literally so traumatic not only to the people who inhabitet it but also to the house itself as its own agent#that it forces the house to literally change its outwardly appearance#also slightly less fun metaphor to read into the inconsistency is simply that peter's recollection of the events leading up to the fire is#so messed up that he doesn't even remember what his own house the house he had lived in his whole life actually looked like anymore

I’m glad to be included in gender, and it’s an honor to trans your gender, but gender is astrology to me. “Girl sun boy moon.” You don’t agree, but now you get me better. Send post
#super super fun and everyone likes to look themselves up#but we made it all up yeah?#it’s like holidays yeah?#and then you learn more about (being very serious here)#there are living cultural practices that take astrology very seriously#and set up aspects of real world material oppression around your birth chart#(I was educated by a good friend on how astrology is handled in other cultures than my own)#which is also like gender: all in good fun until you realize people are taking it so seriously#that little kids are growing up in unconscionable circumstances#because their parents have decided who they are based on various external quirks like stars and colors#rather than the kid showing who they are through their heart.#so it’s all in good fun except when it isn’t.#but once again going back to the all in good fun part#it really is so sensible to say girl sun boy moon.#you can feel this#you get me!!!#it explains so much

one of the great joys of e malama pono (the one with the nuclear bomb in the truck in the jungle) as an episode is that the fact that it IS the one with the nuclear bomb in the truck in the jungle (which includes all of the wonderful steve and danny bickering along the way + the comparison between their relationship and danny's previous literal marriage + steve going "because then if we're not together, we'll still, you know, we're still gonna… we'll be together still", which is both enough to drive a person insane on its own AND the start of the whole misguided yet incredible restaurant arc) is just SO all-eclipsing in my memory of that episode that i'm always both baffled and delighted when it in fact doesn't open anywhere near a (real) bomb, a truck, or a jungle, but with a solid five minutes of steve and danny having a domestic dispute, much of which happens in front of a whole class of students to the point where duke needs to step in and cut them off before they start making the students do a show of hands to decide who's right*
(* this would not, of course, actually help them decide who is right. it would merely be further fuel for bickering.)
#i mean. the real true place where this episode actually opens is on that imagined scenario of the team getting blown up#which very genuinely looks like what it ACTUALLY blew up was the entirety of the show's budget for this season#truly what even IS e malama pono. who decided to make this episode literally all of the things all at once#*#h50#mcdanno

I saw it in your tag game post that you're also fond of the Apollo-Heracles conflict 👀 for a myth that appears in only a couple of sources, it sure has a lot of presence in the vase paintings (no seriously, everytime I think I've seen the last of it, I find ten more)
SO do you have any favorites among the paintings that represent this story??
OMG OMG THIS ASK IS A GIFT. IT IS A GIFT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LETTING ME TALK ABOUT THIS
I also think it's extremely interesting that it's a story so popularly portrayed by vase paintings and in such a variety of ways!! It's certainly one of the stories that gets left out of written compilation of Heracles' legend a bit (which is a shame, I think it's a fantastic story) but Apollo had a very peculiar relationship with Heracles in general that I just kind of find amazing (and very, very funny).
Apollo is not a god with any legitimate grudge against Heracles, but he does argue with the mortal a bit like he argues with his favourite brothers 😂Part of why I love the story of Apollo and Heracles fighting over the tripod so much is that it is such a little brother thing for Heracles to be upset with the proclamation his elder brother has given him and so, he throws a great fit, taking up the chair and declaring that he'll just give himself a better prophecy! And Apollo, instead of being a marginally professional big brother, decides to fight him for it until their father has to break up their cat-fight. Like was that not just the plot of the Homeric Hymn to Hermes? Is this not exactly how Apollo treated Hermes when he was a child and now those two are inseparable? 💀
Because of this, my favourite vase paintings tend to be the ones that highlight the personal squabbling between Apollo and Heracles the most. There are some very elaborate ones that have the full host of them - Athena, Heracles, Apollo, Artemis, usually a dog and a doe, I've even seen a couple that had birds and plants etched on them, but the simplest ones that show Heracles about to bonk Apollo with his club out of frustration or depict Heracles nyooming away from Apollo while Apollo (presumably) yells curses about how he's going to fling Heracles head first into Tartarus for daring to take his things? Yeah, those are the premium big brother/little brother things I'm looking for.

Also the one in the Theoi.com archives is a real classic - perfect energy.
#ginger answers asks#Thank you SO much for letting me talk about this even a little it always makes me smile#Despite their disputes - if you ask me Apollo was quite fond of Heracles#And I think a big part of why I ultimately come to that conclusion is that Apollo never hinders Heracles or withholds blessings from him#He simply calls him a bitch every time he sees him and then makes his life marginally more inconvenient#like any good older brother let's be so fr#It's extremely charming to see him so playful with a mortal he's not in love with/that is not his son#Other moments of Apollo teasing Heracles includes him trying to convince Artemis not to let Heracles catch her doe when he comes#to fulfill that particular labour (again he doesn't actually try to stop it he just puts up a bit of a fuss about it)#and perhaps another of my all time favourites#Personally luring Heracles into Admetus' house so Heracles can wrestle Thanatos while Apollo rescues Alcestis#I DO NOT KNOW WHY MORE PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE LUNACY OF APOLLO'S ADMETUS/ALCESTIS PRESERVATION PLAN#He really said “No yeah I know a guy don't worry about Death Incarnate” and then Heracles shows up at Admetus' door like this is a sitcom#The laugh track that plays in my mind every time Admetus opens that door sees Heracles and then looks back at the disguised Apollo like#'HIM?? HERACLES?? Heracles who can break me in seven pieces with a thought Heracles???'#And Apollo just gives him a thumbs up and says “feed him well pookie <33”#Genuinely some of the funniest shit I have the pleasure of reading in greek myth#Another reason I don't think Apollo has any ill will against Heracles though is how Apollo reacts when Heracles#loses Hylas in the Argonautica#Or well some versions of the Argonautica - this is also a story that changes wildly depending on the source/compilation#But Apollo is incredibly sympathetic to Heracles' sorrow and kind of decides there and then that Heracles losing one love#should be the return of another and asks that Zeus let Heracles free Prometheus when he makes his descent into the underworld#Similarly it is Apollo who anoints Alcaeus/Alcides the name Heracles (also dependent on the myth source)#They just had a very fun relationship and it's a serious shame that it's not acknowledged more#apollo#heracles#greek mythology#(Also people do not talk about the fact that Apollo grappled with Heracles to a standstill enough actually)

Lucullus and Cicero were, as I have said, ardent friends, and members of the same political party, for Lucullus had not withdrawn himself entirely from political life, although he lost no time in leaving to Crassus and Cato the ambitious struggle for the chief place and the greatest power, since he saw that it involved both peril and ignominy.
-Plutarch, Lucullus
rejected panel layouts for a scene between lucullus and crassus, but it was still fun enough to play with that it gets memorialized on the blog :)
crassus ???? reaction has less to do with his own characterization and more to do with me, who was mostly thinking about how much cato wanted to Stab Sulla and completely forgot that lucullus had independent ties with cato. like, a whole relationship dynamic was going on with those two.
so jump cut to
lmao. anyway! something interesting (gestures vaguely) is happening in all of this
Cato the Younger: Life and Death at the End of the Roman Republic, Fred K. Drogula
Lucullus, a Life, Arthur Keaveney
A Life in Pieces, Plutarch, Crassus 12.1-16-8, James T Chlup
Lucullus: A Life, Arthur Keaveney
Plutarch, Cato 3
bsky ⭐ pixiv ⭐ pillowfort ⭐ cohost
#also lucullus' marriage drama is some real soap opera material#it really makes crassus' own marriage look exceedingly boring. like. the most scandalous thing there are the affair allegations#and the absence of reaction from him gives off 'my girl can do what she wants' energy#'lucullus seemed to have lost his stomach for political battle's so he decided to sick two people who were very good at breaking things#onto the political system instead. everyone clap for lucullus!#not a joke. i love this for him.#roman republic tag#komiks tag#drawing tag#marcus licinius crassus#Lucius Licinius Lucullus#LUCULLUS WOULD YOU SHOW UP IN MY FREQUENTLY USED TAGS ALREADY SO I CAN STOP COPYING AND PASTING YOUR NAME
