Do you think Price and Nik would fall low enough to make out on the floor of a random toilet
#im talking blue lighting grafitti on the wall ciggy and ashes remnants everywhere with crumpled receipts#realistically my brain says no bcuz to me they are the luxurious couple#sure they’re make out in the toilet against the wall but the floor is a whole other business#ignoring hygienic issue for raw filth and desire and the need to devour each other’s lips and moans and groans#the cold floor being a grounding space for the two of them - but it barely cools down the spark and frantic fire between then#its hazy its dizzying and its urgent - the carnage and the need for violence all boiling down to lips crushing kisses and bites and hiss#the cold barely does anything to sooth the sheer feralness between two big man - the room feels like it crackles and pops#somebody take my phone away i am yapping nonsense on gawd i need sleep#but i also need two very sheltered and desperate men on the damn floor kissing and making out like its their time doing it#oh maybe that would explain the sheer desperation would it? to the point where they have to descend low enough to chase or cave to it all#gummmyspeaks#nikprice

Killer is the only one Nightmare can't track down easily, since he can feel the others by emotion but can't usually sense Killer's unless he's in stage 1.
This is a small part of why he and Color got off on the wrong foot, because the first time Color and Killer met was when he was helping Dream fight them and he managed to pull Killer away from the main fight to try and reason with him. While they were doing that, Nightmare decided to retreat but couldn't see Killer around and couldn't find him using emotions, so he had to leave without him. (He did return later to scour the place and found Killer waiting for him, since he'd refused Color's offer to go with them.)
This became a running theme, where sometimes after a battle Killer would be gone without a trace because he was off fighting/talking with Color and Nightmare would have to come back for him later. It's also what makes Nightmare a little uneasy in present day about Killer running off to hang out with Color sometimes, because if Color succeeds in convincing Killer not to return, Nightmare has no way of tracking him down anymore. He just has to trust that Killer will return at some point, and wait.
#UTDR#UTMV#Nightmare Sans#Killer Sans#Color Sans#Dadmare#I dunno why this came to mind earlier but here it is anyway#Just a couple random hcs bundled together#About how Killer and Color met and operated at the start in my mind at least#The more they met and Color didn't poke or pry at Killer to change his situation#Their meetings became less fighting and more just. sneaking out of sight to talk#Color is new and interesting and Killer likes bothering him but he needs to be out of Nightmare's view to do it#Otherwise somebody else might jump in to ''help'' him and end up getting Color hurt#Also maybe Nightmare would be mad he was talking to an enemy#Nightmare was less mad and more worried because he was starting to get attached to Killer around the time this became more frequent#And if Killer doesn't come back it's not like he can put up wanted posters or go around the omega timeline looking for him#He would just be gone and the idea of just replacing Killer with a new one was starting to not sit right with him#Also I love mirroring their situations a little#With Killer that first time waiting patiently for Nightmare to return for him after they were seperated#And Nightmare now having to wait patiently in the hope that Killer will return to him after he's stayed with Color for a bit#I dunno if I had a point to this but Nightmare and Color have a very tenious sort of truce#It is never more than one misinterpreted action away from an all out fight#It is unclear to all involved whether Killer is blissfully unaware of this shaky ground or if he's managing both sides like a pro

I think it’s interesting how as time goes on Zoro kind of becomes more and more like mihawk in some ways whether that’s just because if you spend time with someone for 2 years you’re bound to pick up their habits or a deliberate attempt to emulate him is a conversation for another time. And Mihawk and Zoro where already pretty similar at the start so it’s a little hard to notice now.
But yeah whether unconsciously or consciously Zoro is becoming a bit more like Mihawk and it’s interesting to think that while this means maturing in some ways (he’s swordsmanship for one but he’s also just quieter much more assured of himself) it also means deaging in some others.
Despite their significant age gap and general dispositions, when it comes down to it Zoro is just a lot more emotionally mature and developed than Mihawk is. And a big part of why is because he found something larger than himself to devote his life too, hell Mihawk himself even kind of acknowledges this when he agrees to take Zoro on as a student when Zoro begs for the sake of his captain and crew. He acknowledges that putting aside his own ego and dreams for the sake of someone else isn’t something he can do and sees it as a fault in himself and a strength in Zoro.
Mihawk may be outwardly mature and his skills defiently did not stagnant but I’d wager that Mentally Mihawk is still stuck at the same age he was when he took over the title of world’s strongest swordsman. Honestly maybe even younger. And it isn’t until training Zoro, letting Perona stay with him, for probably the first time in his life taking charge of lives outside his own did he finally unarrest his development.
If Zoro is purposely trying to emulate Hawkeyes, which it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was that’s who he’s trying to be Afterall, then it would honestly set him back emotionally because fundamentally as he is now Mihawk’s attitude doesn’t work in a crew. It’s too singular, too abrasive. And while that abrasiveness can be useful in Zoro’s role as Luffy’s first mate sometimes it makes him a little too callous a little too apathetic, like with his disregard for Luffy’s sadness over vegapunk.
But Zoro has his crew to temper that, they are honestly just too ridiculous to ever stay serious around. And try as he might to hide it Zoro is also just a silly dude who likes to be horrifically petty with his opponents. And zoro still has so much fire in him, so much he has too prove and so much he wants to protect to ever really fall into Mihawk’s apathy. Zoro has Luffy who even after they reach their dreams will probably still continue to turn the world upside down forever keeping Zoro in some kind of trouble and his life interesting.
Zoro can’t be Mihawk because even Mihawk can’t be Mihawk anymore. Being with crossguild and crossing with the Red hair pirates and the strawhats is going to change him, it has too. if Mihawk is going to live after losing his title he’s probably gonna have to become a little bit more like Zoro.
#can you tell how much I like the phrase arrested development#mihawk is essentially mentally still a teenager and honestly that tracks#in psychology terms he never developed his super ego#everytime I write a long post I’m so scared that I didn’t make any point at all and it’s just a bunch of jumbled nonsense and half points#so I hope this made sense 😭#zoro and Mihawk are great they are so alike yet the little differences matter so much#don’t you just hate when people say Zoro has no character arc?#they aren’t even two sides of the same coin they are literally just Son learning from the mistakes of his father#I can’t lie before I really got into timeskip I also thought the changes in zoro was just Oda choosing to rewrite him diffenrtky more badas#I also missed the loud smiling and laughing zoro but the truth is that he’s still there#and maybe it is just Oda deciding to make Zoro cooler but it’s honestly so in line with who he already was and makes so much sense given#who he was training with that it still works as character development#zoro can still be loud and silly and maybe his digs are not said instead of screamed and maybe his smiles are a little meaner instead of#genuine and maybe he doesn’t laugh out loud anymore but honestly sometimes thats part of growing up#Zoro is the way he is so Luffy can be who he is that’s why they work. somebody’s got to take it seriously#somebody’s got to feel the weight of being an emperor’s crew. might as well be Zoro#one piece#throwing thoughts to the void#zoro appreciation post#dracule mihawk#hawkeye mihawk#roronoa zoro#zoro#character analysis#one piece meta#goth fam#goth family#one piece goth family#the strawhats#strawhat pirates

the next thing they'll be involved with, Logan will be drinking and gets told by a non-Wade "I'm here to save you from Deadpool" or some funny shit like that. Toss in a mention about incursions or Wade's 'higher purpose' having no place for Logan. Watch Logan laugh.
#becoming ever so fond of the idea#of Logan The Worst Wolverine being so valuable to any universe that he just can't be left in domestic peace#He could be great. he's BEEN great#an incredible man who only wants to stay at home#that's protagonist behavior#Logan would have been so settled and at peace w himself by this point#he'll negotiate first. He'll try to boil things down harmlessly#any hostiity to him can get to his and Wade's family after all#no the mother bear instinct. claws and all. they come out when Logan is forcibly taken from that universe.#idk i get giddy imagining it#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool#wolverine#logan howlett#deadpool 3#wade wilson#poolverine#deadclaws#deadpool 2024#logan would be drinking just for the sake of drinking btw#no particular tragedy except for maybe relapsing into depression and needing to self-regulate#but he's good#“his 'higher purpose' is protecting his friends. when he finds you sneaking around in his universe he'll tell you the same thing. trust me.#cut to “my higher purpose is being held lovingly by Thor. and protecting my friends. why are you here?”#give Logan some line like “the saving goes both ways. we're done with all that shit. walk away now”#lmao it might probably be wade who's guns first talk later then#the only time his mouth will run quicker than he can draw his weapons is if he can find opportunities to annoy somebody

really don't care if women seem smug when something comes out about a misogynist and they say they always got a bad vibe or whatever. making sure those women arent being rude is not more important to me than wanting to know what made them uncomfortable. we gotta stop acting like no one ever spots these guys when a minority of women often do they just get labelled uptight for it and are made to feel they shouldn't say it. well im never going to be the one acting like women should keep it to themselves when they think something is off. specially if they're proven right
#cant point out things that make someone seem like a misogynist before he rapes anybody because you're being crazy#cant point it out after he rapes somebody because you're being rude#funny.#it's like feminism 101 quit acting like other women are bitches acting in bad faith and are your enemy and instead have an open conversation#seriously i hate the way online spaces foster the idea that every interaction has to be seen as a fight#like instead of lecturing and insulting you can say 'hey could we talk about this'#if you feel too uncomfortable approaching a stranger with that question you are also not ready to approach them any other way#it's also like. doesn't it read as weird to anyone else to be like. oh look at this woman thinking she's soooo smart what an asshole#like well maybe she did see something someone else did not. is that so crazy#thing

sometimes I forget that my experience has been. um. not 'your experiences are not universal' vibes but more like 'your experiences are EXTREMELY atypical'
#red said#recent events have reminded me that my life has involved like. a LOT of other people's psychosis#like not in a way where i have been Beset By Terrifying Crazies bc that's not like. a thing.#but a lot of people in my life have had a lot of really severe psychotic episodes#and i FORGET sometimes. that actually that is an Unusual Amount Of Experience With Psychosis for someone who's not#for somebody who has not really personally ever had psychotic episodes (unless severe PTSD flashbacks count)#actually i tell a lie i have maybe had One psychotic episode but because it was very situational and i knew what was happening#i was able to ride it out. because i am literally only psychotic Inside Hospitals and so that's all fine#as long as i LITERALLY NEVER HAVE TO HAVE INPATIENT CARE. Very important to me to never ever ever require surgery i think.#i can handle the amount of psychosis i get from a 1-4 hour stopoff in hospital#as long as i know I'm leaving soon then i can just Cope with the fact that the walls are moving and reality is thin#ANYWAY that's not the point the point is i forget! that most ppl i know have experience of at most a handful of severe psychotic episodes#some people i know have experienced more for sure. especially if the episodes were mostly theirs.#but people really seem to expect me to be more freaked out by their symptoms of psychosis than i am#bc i don't think i really register it as frightening unless they're in actual danger or Currently Aggressing Actually At Me#like i WORRY about them bc it can super suck but it's not SHOCKING or WEIRD#there have definitely been times ive been frightened. one time i woke up in the night and my friend was standing over me with a knife#but also like he was still HIM he was just having a moment. and as soon as i got the knife off him he just came back and broke down.#and we were fine and he was safe and i learnt the valuable lesson that even when people seem like they wanna kill you they probably don't#tbf now I'm thinking about it it's honestly a tossup whether he was there to threaten or because he felt a need to guard us#like to be clear probably don't try and take a knife off someone having a psychotic break. i was 17 and it was 3am and i knew him very well#i probably did not make the smartest call but nobody got hurt is the point#anyway you know there's that kind of psychotic episode and my granny got very violently angry a few times. buuuut you know there's also#been plenty of other times I've been with somebody having an episode and it's been chill as hell.#my ex saw and heard monsters so much that eventually she just got sick of being scared. we used to watch TV with them#i would sometimes have to sit on a bit of sofa that wasn't haunted and we might not be able to watch certain things bc they didn't like it#most of the time she was hallucinating there was absolutely nothing to worry about we just had a few extra variables#honestly of everyone i know who's had psychotic episodes or schizophrenia the amount of times it's been a material risk#is like. low single figures? maybe low double if you include self harm but idk what the cause and effect is there.#idk why you would need to be frightened like 99.99% of the time it truly is usually just Oh No That Seems Distressing For You I'm Sorry

This quest annoys me. A lot. So far, I've never done it. I intend to try with another character at some point. I originally thought I'd try it with my human noble for RP, but he's a relatively nice (and rather religious) guy, so I feel like the disrespect of desecrating an ancient burial site, even if it's a culture he may not understand, is still a bit too much. I mean, I don't see a problem with being able to do it as an option, I guess. I just feel like that being the only solution to the "puzzle" is kind of stupid. Hell, at least don't lock the damn mosaic piece behind it. I don't even need the loot.
On this playthrough, I managed to exploit the mount glitch that lets you clip through the door of the crypt without destroying the graves, just to retrieve the mosaic piece. Also, found out too late that there is a mod for this.
#Dragon Age#Dragon Age: Inquisition#DAI#as somebody who mains the Dalish Warden and who spent considerable time also playing Lavellan#let me just say that I'm not a fan of how especially DAII and DAI treat the Dalish sometimes#to me it feels like DAII was determined to ruin and pretty much wipe out the Dalish elves#not only they're kinda stupid and incompetent in that game#but on my first playthrough I did not know I had to treat Merrill like a literal fucking child to save MY OWN Warden's clan#the first time I ended up having to fight them and kill them#THAT WAS JUST GREAT#THAT MADE ME LOVE THE GAME EVEN MORE#THAT WAS MY WARDEN'S FAMILY#I was so pissed#I just had to turn it off at that point and take a break#it was one of the several reasons why I disliked DAII so much on my first playthrough#and in DAI you can easily accidentally end up leading your whole clan to their deaths as an elf and nobody has a damn thing to say about it#you can just go through the first three games wiping out each of the Dalish clans#I guess I can forgive being able to do it in Origins because it was the first game and there it is a CHOICE that had actual consequences#your companions argue with you about it‚ ask you not to do it#ZEVRAN ASKS YOU NOT TO DO IT#you lose approval at the very least#you lose allies#it's there for RP#but in DAII and DAI it just boils down to a fucking OOPSIE unless you have meta knowledge of the game or you're lucky#AND I DO NOT LIKE IT#but you know what? let's destroy Dalish graves too#''why don't Dalish elves follow Solas/Evanuris in Veilguard?''#IDK maybe because the three previous games might have annihilated most of them lmao

Transphobia often doesn't exist alone, and I really want people to call out other bigotries when they call out transphobia.
Just as an example, there is so much blatent antisemitism that is used for in context of anti-trans bigotry, and I think it is very important to recognize stuff like that. It's important not just because all bogotry is bad but because it will also affect more than trans people. Transphobia is transphobia, but other bigotries often inform how that transphobia plays out.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#transphobia#transphobia tw#antisemitism#antisemitism tw#just saw an instance of somebody using the whole 'you know THEY are behind [trans people]'#and that is a /classic/ antisemitic trope. it is just as important to call that out too. it is just as terrifying and horrific.#this isn't just about antisemitism though it is common to see a mix of transphobia and antisemitism ime#i feel like maybe my point could be misunderstood so i can clarify if need be

Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but don't you think that Herald Victor's mask looks kinda like a cage? A cage for his face. For his emotions. Because we express our emotions with our faces.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c3750253459d6cc95134de0f8383784e/a8b38b8ea2645a64-c5/s540x810/47b768a20de7f3a4069bd4fb2713eb8453bfeca7.jpg)
I was confused by the placement of the eyes on it and how we see human-Victor's face. He is emotionless. But he didn't eradicate his emotions and his "weakness", he just chained it up and hid it away.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/037161db5788f40d7277b1c6eb66c239/a8b38b8ea2645a64-e3/s540x810/1866de80e5917929f66a6fb4aa4c67bade56f8cb.jpg)
And then with a big help of Ekko's device and a good wake-up-slap to his face Victor got a monent to rethink his goals.

i genuinely love when you can tell an older show was Not made with high quality video viewing in mind. i am watching knight rider and constantly seeing all the little mistakes they surely brushed under the rug thinking nobody would see them on their crunchy little CRTs back in the 80s, that are huge attention grabbers now in HD fullscreen on my 3 foot computer monitor
the biggest one of course is all the drivers/controllers for the (in-universe) self driving car, kitt. there's guys tucked down in the footwells who can't always stay out of the shot. there's a guy who has a Car Seat Suit to blend in and look like the drivers seat from a distance, but you can always tell when that's the method they're using for a particular shot because its so much thicker than the passenger seat next to it and the headrest is missing it's cutout section. in at least one instance he starts taking the suit off too early, on a focus shot of the damn car, so its REAL visible.
all the extremely obvious stunt drivers or performers who look nothing like the character they're supposed to be
props, such as animals, vanishing from the car interior for stunt/race sequences.
the production crew (or their shadows) being visible in the background. only at a glance, but its especially hilarious in shots where nobody else is supposed to be around
the camera panning out from a sound stage set far enough that you can actually see over the edges of the set and into the stage they were filming in. mostly this happens with their truck trailer mobile unit thing.
this one isn't a mistake but every time the car "turbo jumps" they CLEARLY hide the ramp behind another car, a prop, the environment, and its just. so charming. sometimes its blatantly on screen just for a moment. like... of Course in real life this car isn't magically leaping 20 feet, of course its a ramp, but it's still so silly and fun to be reminded of how they were doing those stunts to begin with.
also not really a mistake but related, the bracket they keep on the front of the car for stunt work.... is just left on half the time. cuz it's a pain to take on and off.
and there are more examples that are more unique that haven't cemented themselves in my head well yet, but these are the more notable or common things i see and it's really charming. if i'm not giggling to myself noticing the "seams" and flaws and so human imperfections of your show or movie what EVEN is the point. hollywood is too flashy these days i think!
#liz blogs#knight rider#kr#tv production#1980s#television#i dont even know if this is a 'older tv' thing or if its just a knight rider thing because i've seen all of classic columbo at this point#and i think i can think of... maybe one or two times you saw the edges of a sound stage room. and thats it#i dont know Why its like this i dont know how common it is for shows of the era but i love it to bits. cannot get through an episode#with somebody without pointing out the quirky little things i notice.#y'know what hollywood really can burn there is such a great backlog of media to watch#i need to gif that guy pulling off his Seat Costume in the MIDDLE of the SHOT. that was so fucking funny. my favorite blooper so far#a lot of these have to do with kitt bc he IS a prop but its extremely funny how hard they push the 'HES INDESTRUCTIBLE' thing#and every other boost landing has the car looking like its gonna snap in fucking half like a twig. got some ROUGH landings#i wanna know how many stunt kitts they went through they really beat the shit outta those cars sometimes#i think if this show were free on streaming like columbo way more people on this site would like it it is a weirdly charming little show

FilmCooper should actually stop making videos on serious topics. He has a lot of shit takes on sensitive matters. There's this intense "guy who paints his nails to seem progressive" energy. I don't think he is a horrible person per se, but he is not as nuanced as he tries to come off as. Saying Justin Baldoni should have just "sucked it up" because he asked an important question to keep himself safe from injuries? Man, you should sit this one out. And the comments about Chappell Roan releasing statements telling people to stop stalking her as "statements after statements" "like 30 posts" is very weird from someone who bends over backwards to defend women because he is the only doing "some research" and looking at stuff from a different angle. Honestly, if being wrong multiple times in the expanse of one video was a tournament, his video would be the top contender.
#Film cooper#Blake lively#justin baldoni#His newest video at 27:35 is where he says Justin should have just sucked it up#Chappell Roan#The whole thing is so bizarre and every word from his mouth keeps making the video worse#He contradicts himself so many times and is absolutely unaware of it while saying somebody else is being insensitive#I am typing this post as I am listening to the video and jesus#This is not coherent at all. I am just#I will be honest I am not surprised by his behaviour#About like 6 months ago or maybe there was one AITA video or something he did and he had so many terrible takes and I just stopped watching#him for a while and people did point it out but I never heard anyone talk about it again#'I am not a Blake Lively fan. I don't like her. I think she's tone deaf'#<- Proceeds to defend her the entire video. Is tone deaf to Baldoni's understandable health concern. tries to frame the interviewer body-#-shamed by Lively as a clout chaser. says Chappell Roan's multiple statements are silly and too much.#Trying to frame actual criticism of Lively as 'nobody would hate her humour if she was a man'#Oh my god. my brain actually hurts more and yesterday I had to wade through comments saying South Asians aren't ethnically Asians

I think I would be okay with izzys death if every aspect (or a lot of it at least) of ofmd hadn't been a queer allegory. It makes it very hard to see what they were trying to say by killing off izzy.
#maybe there was something metaphorical to his death that somebody smarter than me figured out#if there isnt then i dont get the point of killing him#ofmd#our flag means death#ofmd 2#izzy hands#ofmd izzy#rip izzy#the izcourse#ofmd spoilers#im not angry about his death as such#just confused and somewhat disappointed

i'm not sure if this is bias from someone whose only seen voy+ds9 or if it's maybe more due to the setting of ds9 (a place people visit instead of people who visit places) but it is soooo delightful seeing all the PEOPLE!!! all of these unspeaking extras all dressed up in weird costume and extraordinary makeup. all of these aliens so different from one another and yet blending perfectly and harmoniously into the background, entirely irrelevant but no doubt leading unique and interesting lives. that probably sounds contradictory to love seeing the people when the show is no longer about Exploring To Meet People but idk something about ds9 feels different. feels alive and intriguing. maybe ds9 simply cant throw in human extras and call it a day like on a starfleet vessel because that just Is Not The Setting but also maybe ds9 does it willingly. happily. look at all of these different people. so many good unique character gimmicks get used in ds9 namely related to business owners/local workers and we are only so blessed with getting to know a few of them. a spy from the planet of state servitude who is drawn to the mundane and hedonistic self gratification owns a tailoring shop because hes banished from home. a bar tender who gets blackmailed into staying and his cop-vs-criminal dynamic best frenemy the Unknown Sample butt heads every day. all of the bajorans and their religious sites!!!!!! the school!!!!!! a worker from Capitalism Planet forms a union and then quits his job to be a freelance engineer and his sex worker wife who he loves very much. a guy from some sorta warrior culture who instead works as a chef serving live worms to his patrons who'll also burst into song during downtime. all of the shady visitors dealing in illicit substances and goods. all of the weird shapes and colours on these visitors from races whose names we may not even know. one of the starfleet crew guys gives birth to litters and he does this multiple times and some longterm professor on the station has a transparent skull and all this & more is conveyed to us strictly thru crewmembers gossiping about all the strange new different People around them because this show is all about People
#ikildaman shut the fuck up#ds9#this was supposed to be a rant on how i want to steal the klingon chef idea for an oc because klingons having mundane jobs is SO GOOD#and somebody already took the klingon medic idea (SUCH a good gimmick oh my god#what im saying is they should make more shows about shopping malls. or warfront towns i guess is the more apt comparison#businesses and workers and customers and civilians.... living life living LIFE#it hits especially so considering a space station is just not a place you spawn. you CHOOSE to go there. you CHOOSE to live there#you CHOOSE to hold ur business there etc etc. maybe this is why ds9 feels like it revels in its People#for every person who shows up here has to be a Choice. there is no background extra put in without thought and consideration#seeing klingons just in the background hanging out together during a time ds9 HAS klingons on it when the episode is not ABOUT them was jus#it was so good i pogged i pointed at my screen and i pogged#the little details........
