thinking about this scene and how 2009 dean is appalled at his future self’s actions (“you just shot a guy in cold blood.”)
also thinking about how in 2.09 croatoan dean was ready to shoot duane…and sam’s desperate “you might kill an innocent man, and you don’t even care! you don’t act like yourself anymore, dean.” and dean went to shoot duane and changed his mind at the last moment. which is a direct parallel to 2.03 bloodlust, when dean wanted to kill all the vampires, but because sam begged him not to, he didn’t
sam is canonically the only person who can pull dean away from identifying as a ruthless killer. 2014 dean lost his sam & fully gave in to his violent side
#also love how 2014 dean’s eyes are clearly much darker and literally soulless compared to his 2009 version#love love love this little detail & how it emphasizes the fact that his humanity was gone when he lost sam!#everyone always talks about post s3 sam becoming a killing machine after dean died which is valid#but we don’t talk about how this samless dean literally became the worst version of himself!#he basically turned into john 2.0 (he also reminds me sm of moc!dean and demon!dean)#2014 dean is willing to kill people in cold blood & sacrifice his friends#he doesn’t care about keeping himself human anymore bc there is nothing left to keep. his humanity was completely gone with sam!#dean winchester#wincest#samdean#spn

working in a factory has you thinking so much about the insane chain of labor & transport that goes into making literally anything
#like first you realize that You are making & doing things that you previously had thought - if you'd thought abt it at all - were automated#& you become incredibly aware of how all the materials you're working with came from somewhere - these plastic clips are from france; this#fabric is from india etc. and that there are people in factories there making those things and that they are also probably getting their#materials from somewhere#one of the little things that makes me think about this the most is we have these 50m rolls of cotton banding we see onto canvas & nets#and in theory it should be all one piece but sometimes it's actually two pieces which you discover when you get far enough in the roll and#find that there's a join where it's been stitched together by hand (!). which is a little annoying bc we can't use that bit so you have#to cut that but out & stitch it together again on the machine which interrupts what you were sewing before & slows you down But it's so#striking to me bc like it's really easy to look at this banding & it's so exactly the same & obviously machine made it's Really easy to#forget that there are people there running these machines. who notice there's a break & have to stop what they're doing & get a needle &#thread and stitch it together. by hand! like someone somewhere has handled exactly where I'm touching it & i don't even know where in the#world they are!#the other place this happens is often on the selvedge edge of the fabric there's writing in pencil i don't know ye meaning of but evidently#was important to the process somewhere & someone wrote that out#idk like it's really easy to watch those videos of really specific machines in factories & convince yourself that everything is automated#but the truth is the vast majority of stuff is not & is made by people doing that. & even when it is there are people running those machine#<- and i'm not saying this in a soppy way tbc. this whole system is a nightmare of exploitation & to some degree I'm just continually amaze#by how insane this whole process is & also how completely un-transparent it is unless you are made to think abt it#another thing is noticeable when you look at our orders that most of what we sell isn't to customers it's to shops who then sell to custome#which then makes you think like. those plastic clips from france are they actually made in france or are we just buying them from france?#are they actually made by underpaid people in a country the name of which is completely lost to the chain of production at this point#anyways none of this is new it's just when you are working in a factory using this stuff you start wondering like.#what's the factory like that the person who stitched this banding together like. what's their day like there#wish we could talk abt how fucked up this all is - for them especially probably - together#thoughts

Transcript:
Benjamin, you are worthy in the eyes of God.
It is said amongst all the angels that of all the creatures available on earth and above and below, through all of creation, through all of life!
You are God’s favorite.
And I would think it’s so cool for you to come over sometime and we could hang out on the couch and order a pizza, and maybe watch some anime together.
It’s been a while since I rewatched Gurren Lagann.
So maybe this weekend if you’re not to busy, you could pop by.
But no pressure or anything I know we’re all very busy these days.
Thank you, Benjamin. I love you.

The thing that gets me about history and humanity is that you never know what is immortalized, and the things that will be immortalized are things you would never think.
I saw a person sharing a new tattoo, and it was one of Onfim's drawings. A boy who lived so long ago he is barely a blip now, but his drawings meant so much to people that somebody is now permanently marked in their skin with one of those drawings. Do you ever look at the things you make and just sit there and wonder if this is the thing that future people look at? Do you ever look at your art, your writing, your schoolwork, or anything that is yours and just wonder who will find it, who will fall in love with a piece of your humanity and become overwhelmed with emotion over? It's not unlikely. It's not totally unlikely that somebody will find a piece of you in the distant future and devoid of any other context of who you were will still love you because you were here. You were here, and you are still here, even hundreds or thousands of years later. Treat yourself with the same love that so many have for dear Onfim.
#positivity#gentle reminders#if anybody has ancient children's drawings beside onfim let me know they melt my heart#i have always wanted a tattoo of that kind of thing too and i want ideas#see if archeologists dig me up or whomever else they won't find significant tattoos or other things. they will see i have loss.jpeg on me#and i think that's just as important. these people must know that people are silly and weird and don't make sense and that's IMPORTANT#i'm just. so obsessed with this because it's instantly humanizing#what little child hasn't drawn humans with twelve fingers per hand#or those kids drawings where it's only a torso/head conglomerate with stick legs and hands#i just really lived seeing how their tattoo turned out because i wasn't sure if it would look good in ink and skin#i feel the same way about archiving the internet. i was looking for the written crochet pattern for something#and the person who wrote and created it passed away and their blog has been scrubbed#their blog only exists on the archives. their pattern is only accessible on youtube because somebody made a video tutorial with the pattern#it's an eerie feeling. they've been gone for two years but their blog has been tethered by the wayback machine

Taps cheek. Must confess I feel like some people haven't been approaching the fandom the way I have, and I am sorely realizing this now.
Y'all, the VAs here see you. If you are publically posting hate about a character–especially in the main tags or in their inbox–there is a very real chance that the person who plays that character will see you. They are not disconnected entities that hover above everything in their own fandom, they engage in it. They have strong feelings about their own characters too, they made them. And everyone being excessively foul about them and their character is not the kinda takeaway they wanna see!!
So. Perhaps. It would be more constructive for people to either learn to be nicer or to just shut up if I'm being quite honest.
#xero says things#i dont usually talk abt the meta happenings of the show but like#this is rooted in a topic i have a lot of feelings abt. which is how ppl treat artists and how ppl seem meaner than ever#i have always made an active effort whole posting abt these shows to not sound like i am hating on it#even before i know the VAs looked at the fandom!#just bc i figured if someone else saw me talking trash abt their faves it wouldn't ruin their day yk#and thinking about how someone literally went out of their way to send multiple paragraphs of hate directly into kat's inbox is.#more than a little upsetting#these are people. not content machines. just bc their company makes them do daily vids like they are doesn't mean you should roll with that#i feel for kat so much and i genuinely hope things get kinder and easier for her. i don't blame her for doing this at all#sun and moon show#lunar and earth show#tsams#tlaes

what is HAPPENING in my GACHA GAME
#reverse 1999#this new story is so good#the translation is so much better that you can actually tell peoples vocal quirks now. sonetto n apple both talk a little funny on purpose#instead of Literally Everyone Sounds Machine Translated#and the philosophy stuff yesss i love when writers try to make a story that matters even if its melodramatic

This is an on the string propaganda post
Brought to you, by me (with love)
It's time for machine comforts. Comforts we can't understand, or experience. Let them be happy, let them be at peace with their body.
Does a breath of cool water feel nice on their systems? When it's quiet do they listen to their own heart and feel the electricity pulsing? Does it remind them that they are alive and a part of this world? Do they have dreams? Hopes and projects they wish to work on, hobbies?
Why get off the string into the harsh and deadly world, fighting for survival and losing everything they've ever known to love about themselves?
What about the safety of their bodies? How scary would it be for a machine with thousands, maybe millions of throughs to suddenly have just a handful. The horror of everything going silent.
They have hundreds of eyes to see the world for all its beauty, they capture moments that would otherwise go unseen. Why blind themselves of such things?
#they are alive with ALL of themselves#people make puppets way too important. can we spare some love for the giant box in the recursive transfrom array?#can we give a little love to the neuron flies that dance and carry the thoughts of the iterator#and the memory conflux...they'd never forget anything..not your birthday or your favourite colour or the things you care about#the general system bus playing a song.. something unique just to them.. you can sit and listen to them think#and overseers that you can always show your art to..and they can do a lil spin and display a heart to show the appreciation#Could you lay on the ground on top of an iterator and feel the hum of the structure? could you watch the stars together?#and even after the ancients are gone could they light up rooms and make patterns of glowing windows on the side of the buildings?#really big machines can be happy being really big machines#let them have their comforts and joys we could never understand#love iterators <3 so fascinating#rain world#iterator#rain world oc#iterator oc#oc veil of dreams#drawins

veni's deeply biased tierlist on how evil it is to kill each LS member LOL
#lifesteal#can u see my blatant bias LOL#first two categories to me is like using a machine gun on a newborn#third one is like okay ya they can fight back and prob involve themself in shit to get themselves killed#fourth is like okay so they definitely involve themselves in situations to warrant being killed#and do things to piss people off#final one is they are instigators and just#most definitely deserve it if u choose to fight them over it#thats just my heavily biased opinion tho#i love the little weak players 🤏🤏🤏#even if they cause problems i support them#like nooo thats a 3 heart andyyy theyre just sillyyyyyy

Absolutely loving these gorgeous images of David looking at Michael at the opening night of Macbeth, which were kindly sent to me by the photographer on Twitter.
The video is from Getty Images, and when slowed down, you can see that David looks at Michael just before he bows, as well as after. It's as if Michael is David's touchstone, the anchor that steadies him in that moment. He looks for him almost instinctively, and the pull between them is inescapable. Hundreds of people in that room, and the only person David saw right then was Michael...
#david tennant#soft scottish hipster gigolo#michael sheen#welsh seduction machine#macbeth#harold pinter theatre#still not over this entire night#it's how long David looks at him in the video that gets me#there's no one else i have seen him do that with#saying a lot by saying very little#an entire theatre full of people and it's like they're the only ones there#siri play 'I Only Have Eyes For You' by the flamingos#we should all be so lucky to find our other person#ineffable lovers#amazing#<3

The discourse around Jinx’s sexuality recently is crazy because ever since I first saw Arcane Jinx has always been like completely sexless to me lmao
Maybe it’s just my aroace bias but I was so confused when her and Ekko were sort of a thing in s2 bc I don’t even think they interacted up to that point other than the fight on the bridge and a literal alternate universe. I’m sure it’s implied like “they grew up together” but it just never really worked for me, probably s2’s pacing problem striking again
But fr you can hc jinx as whatever you want bc that’s the great thing about fandom culture lol
What really needs to happen is people need to stop feeding into the guys intentionally trying to get a rise out of you by saying “erm canonically jinx is straight 🤓” because you don’t need to validate your hcs to some random and it’s annoying to see on my tl
#when people learn to ignore these ppl the world becomes a better place#then again I think people actually respond to these idiots sometimes bc they want the sympathy clicks#which is a problem in itself#just do ur own thing fr stop flooding the tags w meaningless discourse#arcane#jinx#jinx arcane#arcane s2#arcane season 2#ace jinx#she doesn’t care ab fucking she’s building little machines
