I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more

When I first saw this photo it made me cry a little.

EDIT: I coloured it

[Just before going to another battle] Arthur: Merlin, I just- There's something... I love you. Merlin: Then we're in big trouble cause I love you too.

I personally think it would be very amusing if Tesla gets revived alongside Knives in Stargaze and spends her entire time being rude to him and nitpicking his actions based off of some petty grievances. Like imagine he's trying to do one of his little murder speeches and she steps out of the shadows where she was standing (menacingly) going "Hey remember that time you got a whole cake for your Birthday? I never got a birthday cake. And you guys got a whole one to yourselves" or just going "Oh that's a cool thought, did you best friend Child Killer Conrad give it to you?"

Just real hater energy from her

You 🤝 Me

Our little detective procedurals (I'm in deep with Columbo)

(also hope you're doing well!!! I'm glad you're taking time for yourself, I'll always be here to clown)

ahhh yes...i have heard whispers in the wind about the appeal of Columbo and am very eager to check him out 🙈💖 will we as a species ever get tired of neurodivergent detectives who do not have anything together in their lives except their ability to solve crimes? i think not!!! (on that note. i am wrapping Adrian Monk in cellophane and then giving him a tremendously large hug. with permission of course. i understand he'll need to steam himself afterwards but that's okay-)

I love the outcome of respecing the party in BG3 for my current first blind playthrough but it does mean that my experience of these characters is wildly different now. So anyway here's my list of very personal headcanons that probably only exist in my Tumblr sextyhem save because of my respecing antics

Karlach as the only person with a decent strength score keeps getting really frustrated about having to carry everyones shit about. She does it because she's a champ but it is really starting to get on her nerves

Lae'zel insists they buy ever arrow from every merchant they find because she knows she is the most proficient warrior her and will not allow her self to be under preaped to absolutely destroy her enemies

Tumblr Sextyhem and Astarion act like an old married couple in battle because they're both spell casters with similarish spell lists. It goes between bickering to sickeningly sweet comments and Lae'zel has strongly considered murdering one or both of them over it.

Very minor but shadowheart changes subclasses after freeing the nightsong. I considered making her not a cleric but I need healers so. I did however use mods to give her space buns like she had as a kid at the start of act 3

The party staged an intervention about using magic for Gale. They made him respec as a monk and he is doing great at that but is not happy about it

The party, especially the meele fighters is getting very frustrated at Astarions fireball first think later attitude because it keeps fucking up the terrain this exchange happens often "Oh come on you can't just tell me not to set fires. It's what I do now. It would be like asking Gale not to hit things with his big stick" and then gale tries to speak up and everyone just glares at him

Haslin spends most of his time as a bear and it is getting Inconvenient when moving around

I am sure I'm not the only one with stuff like this so please please share them in reblogs

my tufting needle came in today,,

[Plain text ID: three photos of a small tufted rug of A. Square from The Flatland Film 2007 sitting on a wooden desk. There is a grey wall behind it, a swiss cheese plant in a beige pot to the left and a green and gold bankers lamp to the right.

In the first photo, the rug is laying flat on the desk.

In the second photo, the rug is sitting in the same position but there is a white zero sugar Monster energy drink can sat upright on top of it.

In the third photo, the rug us being held over the same desk by a white hand with a long green thumb nail.

End ID.]

so true to my word i’ve made an A. Square carpet coaster for the bit, inspired by @penguinsinhell’s post about how a flatland plushie would just be the equivalent of a rug. he’s real and he lives on my desk and he’s only 29.99 !

(also pls ignore how absolutely frazzled he is, apparently you’re not really supposed to take punch needle pieces off of their frame and should keep them ON the frame forever :/ but he’s still gonna survive ! unfortunately)

i have finally watched the last grand jipang filler episode (i skipped a lot of filler my first watch through) and i am incredibly disappointed in you all with the lack of monk zoro fanart there is in the world. shame on you all. i will change this with my own bare hands

[fxreflyes]

this is where my brain went when you said I would've been a great monk

THE SCREAM I LET OUT OH MY GODDDDDDDD

This is so layered? It deserves to be in a museum? Or in a cathedral?? I am now Jesus? This presumes that there is a crab Jesus? (Or cresus as u have so eloquently suggested) and the question of does crabmus have catholic guilt? I guess he does? THE BEARBEL??? This is perfect this is like we have created a new religion??? I need this at the top of a large cathedral for real 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Monk and the gang where stuck in the vault and the Captain picked the locked box just to give him Trudy's bracelet so Monk could have some relief ASDFGHJDLHFLIDuhguirahgiaurKLAHNRGKLHAHUIHAGUI

if someone says Leland doesn't love Monk I will bite them ;_____;

I'm crying so much

[giantkillerjack]

In all my years, I've never seen a movie use non-christian pre-colonial religious imagery as a force of good against evil.

And the fact that in Wendall & Wild - a movie that takes place in a Catholic school, this type of imagery is portrayed as SO much more beautiful and powerful than the drab dreary Catholic imagery of the film... it was fuckin' rad as hell.

I've been neck deep into Spica lore for a few months now and she has singlehandedly kept me in the fandom so I wanted to draw her as a lil thank you for the A M A Z I N G work @mooniet has been doing lately!

It started just as a lil warm up sketch but I really loved how it turned out so I quickly slapped some colors on it, I hope you enjoy :)

I am terrible at following references I know I'm sorry

[jokerlennon]

im still kind of struggling to aryiculate what exactly it is that makes these episodes feel so mindnumbing when ive seen objectively much worse ones (to be fair ive alsl been known to skip some of elevens episodes halfway through bc i just did not fucking care but these r jusg ALL kind of bad) but i think at least part of it is just the fact that yaz graham and ryan could die right now and i would barely care... after an entire SEASON i couldnt tell you a single thing about their individual relationships with the doctor 😐 like. martha and donna and bill only got a single season each and ive written paragraphs on tenmartha .... what is there to say about the doctor and ryan. i am wracking my brains and genuinely not coming up with a single sentences worth. what are we even doing

I’m so soft how wukong, bajie, and wujin really feel like brothers. Sanzang is like the dad friend but sometimes I feel like wukong sees them as equals too. Their dynamic is hard to pin down.

THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER A LOT OKAY! I know people always judge them at first glance BUT THEY HAVE EACH OTHER BACKS!

I know it’s hard to pin down how they feel about each other because they have gone through a lot and have been shits to one another on more than one occasion at the same point it’s kind of that “everyone pointing fingers at everyone” until they realize that all in the same boat.

Like sure none of them find the journey a walk in the park let alone a vacation. It’s hard work.. and it’s EIGHTY-ONE trials!! They are here because it starts off as coworkers to get back to their previous positions. Bajie and Wujing and BaiLong want to get back to their high positions, Wukong wants to get out of the mountain, and Sanzang is wanting to focus only on the mission. It a mutual cooperation where they just have to be civil to one another at LEAST and bear with each at MOST.

But that isn’t the case. They bicker, the complain, they fuck with one another almost daily cause they are either bored and looking for a good laugh. And they could have kept that up if they didn’t start relying on one another. How with each fight and each demon they couldn’t just keep each other at arms length is they want to survive. They have to start working together. It’s always fighting for their lives and always having to be suspicious and be on edge with not knowing who can be a friend or foe. And I think it really creates a kind of, “normally I would never speak to these kinds of people, but due to circumstances I have grown to know them and care for them as I would my own limbs.” Like they have a dynamic to rely on one another and shoulder the other because while they know they can’t do this without any one of them missing they also grew to feel they don’t WANT to.

They go from strangers to coworkers to brothers in arms…

I think this is why the Three Daoist arc is one of my favorites because it has this one single moment that always sticks with me and it’s a detail I don’t get to see often and I’m just glad that it is still there after all this time.

They just genuinely enjoying each others company… they cause trouble sure eating offerings but they are doing it together.

And honestly, Sanzang is the dad friend. Another detail I always feel like people overlook is that he is actually a very cautious person and always worries if Wukong, Bajie, or Wujing have to go fight. If they enter a valley that is clearly demon-infested he’s usually the one to say it first “maybe we should go around to avoid trouble” but Wukong or Bajie would always assume they can handle it or that going around is even LONGER. Like they are gods and yes they do get caught up in mischief but in the end there is no length they would go whether it bothering heaven or breaking down hell's gates to get the assistance they need to save each other asses.

It actually reminds me of the idea of soldiers, and how that kind of comradeship is built not only through hardship, but knowing that there was something at the end of that hardship that they are fighting for. Like Wujing and Bajie experienced soldiers and Wukong a warlord they have all seen the fair show fighting but it’s in a United front that they game through each battle and overuse of constant protecting and defending and even in the quiet moments of living and enjoying each other company do they start to see each other as a family.

And Wukong and Sanzang I feel start off with really not trusting one another to even being scared or hating one another. Wukong just saw Sanzang as an obstacle in his path and tried to kill him and Sanzang didn’t trust Wukong AT ALL after seeing how he treats both humans and demons. But it’s only slowly through time that Sanzang has to realize that he was wrong all along. That people can change and Wukong is one of them, and that it isn’t fair to judge him as irredeemable just cause his first instinct is to attack first and ask questions later. And Wukong was wrong about Sanzang as well. He grew to not care about anybody weaker than him that wasn't his monkeys to care about Sanzang so much. He goes from telling Sanzang to shut up and stop crying to being the one to cry when he gets kidnapped. He throws himself in his studies so much to learn about Buddism, rivaling Sanzang himself that they talk to each other equally when it comes to the scriptures. Wukongs goals slowly change from trying to repay Sanzang to wanting to get the scriptures himself, to get the ripe fruit he wants as well. And they end up both as Buddhas in the end, another highlight of how they both came to a common conclusion, how they started at each other throats but ended in the same place with the same goal and on the same level at the end.

They really start to see each other as their family, not just cause of being disciples but cause they have those dynamics. Sanzang always worries and tries to offer advice and listen even though he doesn’t know how to help beyond that, Wukong pranks them all while still being the first to defend cause ONLY HE gets to fuck with these guys, Bajie just gives off such middle-child energy honestly always wants attention and special privileges, Wujing being the favorite but also underestimate every single time despite giving words of wisdom and encouragement, and BaiLong always there but never offers any input kind of friend. Quiet but he is appreciated.

I feel like they didn’t get along for the longest time, even years, but that they still stuck with one another through each trial made a kind of bond that can’t be just “friend” or even “comrade”.

At least that’s how I like to see it…

… fuck this is such a good story.

Never gonna get over how hot Daniel Sharman is in Cursed as the Weeping Monk.
