#i also find performance in the show so interesting#the ppl sometimes misinterpret is what exactly performance is rather than seeing it as this range of xyz elements that go into it that may#still have a connection to your self they see it as this black and white framing to perform is not necessarily to lie but to lie is not#necessarily to perform#like we see louis' perform over and over and over and over again in different decades in different areas of his life and part of his story#is this lack of identity itself#hes so interesting bc of the layered up part of him like you see these layers (of self and performance--which can intertwine) and you come#closer and closer to it to find something even newer yeah so#its so obvious#w/ him how he cant tell that direct lie like...in past-in modern same-same and if he happens to tell a good lie best believe he believe it#to so its not technically a lie it is his own truth your own truth does not have to be factual but the sentiments still stands ala what JA#said soo i find it interesting performing together but the performance is not a lie but an exaggeration or a replication of the love itself#i still stand by my initial sentiment when theyre away a mile apart but together they are in each other and in each other (performance-love-#falling back into it etc etc etc) i find it interesting where A stands in this#because i learn more abt him sooo i was like with him with his statement 'never harmed you' not direct i believe not direct still if we're#going by this is your truth type thing and maybe convincing himself that this is his truth then it's yeah my interpretation is still in 'the#twins' type of look into them so the mirror mirror but the awareness is different (?) IDK guys i saw their lovestory its cute then they hit#u with the underlying horrors and boy do i love getting into it i just need to learn moree 77 years so much so much time vampires is cool#random thoughts#V#i cant wait to write my video essay give me the whole show noww if i messed up on this disregard or whatever armand says#talking myself through stuff i need to rewatch the episode in full

"The Greatest Travelling Circus!"
Finally finished the designs for this AU!! Some of them may be subject to change but this is how they're looking for now!
From the "Greatest Show" animatic, the idea behind this AU is that Pomni finds herself as the new jester in this troupe of Caine's fantastical circus! She can't.. really remember how she got there, but why would she want to leave when it's so much fun? The show must go on, after all! Who knows what could happen if it doesn't? Planning on expanding more on this AU with animatics and extra art sometime! I hope some are interested!
#glitch productions#tadc#tadc au#tadc pomni#tadc ragatha#tadc jax#tadc zooble#tadc gangle#tadc kinger#tadc bubble#tadc caine#the greatest travelling circus#not necessarily JUST a greatest showman au#but will use a lot of songs from there :')#pomni's the jester#jax and ragatha are trapeze artists#zooble's a juggler#gangle does theatric performances (and sometimes acts as the contortionist)#kinger's a stuntman! a human cannonball#caine's their wonderful brilliant ringmaster!#and kaufmo's#.. kaufmo? he retired.. right?

a pop star and his plush 🕸⚡️💛
(oh the irony of a giant joltik plush)
#submas#subway boss emmet#subway boss kudari#joltik#submas au#popstar au#my art#i don't think in this au he's necessarily a pokemon trainer#though maybe he does have his own for protection#or something like that#either way this plush i wanna say was a gift from ingo as a celebration for a band related milestone#like a certain number of albums sold oooor#getting through the first live performance#anyway he wears pink often and comfy clothes and the scrunchy fuzzy socks

I'm only just now looking at Batman and Robin: Year One, and right off the bat, I noticed Waid has already made a connection to his writing from Batman vs. Robin #3.
In Batman vs. Robin, Dick, while under a possession that made him air his deepest grievances, berated Bruce for taking him away from the joy and recognition he got as a performer in the circus, and instead of getting to continue that experience, Dick Grayson was hidden behind a mask.
Batman vs. Robin #3
In Batman and Robin: Year One, Bruce brings up the fact that only a few weeks ago, Dick had an adoring crowd chanting his name. Now, in the present, Dick is masked and anonymous.
Batman and Robin: Year One #1
#mmm i mean i kinda get it because i remember reading an old issue where dick was playing in a basketball game#and he couldn't play to his full potential because he didn't want people to make the connection to him being robin#so he is hiding his real self away in that type of instance#but also in other stories when he was a bit older i suppose--dick would still perform in circuses#and he would still have that chance to perform and get recognition as dick grayson#but also robin's accomplishments are dick's accomplishments so i feel like any praise robin would get would resonate as dick's own#waid is really putting more emphasis on adding more value to the name dick grayson i guess. or dick's actual identity.#and i'm not sure dick really needs that--especially because when he was in the circus--people knew his FAMILY'S name#but not necessarily HIS name#like on the posters it would be The Flying Graysons#it's not like his name was front and center and that his individual name was getting recognition#it was his family's name. the family act that that was getting the attention#and in that way dick is still anonymous to a certain extent#i mean sure i guess when the flying graysons go on--each performer's name could be announced. and people would know his face.#but still. i don't know if it's really That big of a deal to dick#Dick Grayson

As I’ve told you, Louis, each vampire selects his victims in his own way. The world is a veritable wilderness of singular beauties and each night too precious to allow for the slightest waste. Each night is a wedding, really, and the vampire is wed to the unique and alluring charms of that victim as surely as he is wed to that victim’s life. You hold the spirit incarnate in your arms.
For some of us, monstrous breed that we are, and such a discerning and voracious company, it is the struggle that holds the quintessential fulfillment, the thrashing of the waning lover seems to soothe the preternatural soul. This is nonsense, really. These innocent and unsuspecting victims can’t really struggle against a power such as our own. What lurks beneath these gentlemanly trappings is a strength that is unconquerable. Yet there are vampires who crave the semblance of battle, saying that it is the human spirit they love, its endurance, its faith.
… They summon me. The long for me. Gentleman Death, that has been my epithet, and I so treasure it. What gentleman can refuse a lady, after all?
why did we ever move on from here
#text#iwtv#anne is generating so many conversations by saying a wedding necessarily involves a victim who is conquered#(+ what is this saying about marriages in our current reality?)#I also like that there’s this sense that daniel is less interested in building a performance of integrity -#unlike louis and armand but very much like lestat.

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!
#yes Lucanis has been told what he's going to do with his life for his entire life and has not been able to make a lot of choices for himself#this has no bearing on how he has no moral issue with killing people for money#which is what I was saying: he has no moral issue with killing people for money and some of you are clearly uncomfortable with that#because you're bending over backward to insist that he does actually deep inside have an issue with being a contract killer#when it is INCREDIBLY clear and he discusses this multiple times that he does not have any issue with being paid to stab people to death#I can't even discuss other aspects of Lucanis because you're all so unwilling to accept the specific point I'm making#which is that the text makes it incredibly clear that Lucanis does not have any issue with being killer for hire#he has no issue with the “killing people as a profession that he engages in”#he flat out dismisses the idea that there is any moral issue to be had when Emmrich and Davrin ask him about it#you all want him to have a moral issue with the core premise of “killing people” because you struggle with the idea he does not have one#because you're all very convinced that if he chose for himself that he would choose to have an issue with murder#but he doesn't#when he engages in what you consider “making it more palpable” to him it is actually not related to the murder at all#in fact the things he does extra isn't even un-Crow-like necessarily—it's just making things more complicated and less efficient#by avoiding doing things that are not part of the contract and thus aren't necessary to do even if it would make it easier#it is still not an issue with performing murders for money!#I know I'm repeating myself a lot here but people really are doing Olympic floor gymnastics routines to avoid what I'm trying to say#which is that the text is very clear Lucanis does not have a moral issue with the part of his job where he is hired to kill people#(also to that refutation asserting that Lucanis's “enjoyment” is derived from going after objectively bad people#how did you miss the part where Lucanis HATES it when people say that when THEY kill it's Noble And Good only)#(Also his contracts are not strictly Venatori. He has a specialty but he very much states he has non-Venatori and non-mage contracts)#DATV things#anyway I should write a follow-up post

Never forget that According to Canon, this guy is technically the extrovert of his siblings
#ghost bc#the band ghost#papa emeritus ii#think about it: Primo thinks people suck#Terzo *might* be more of an ambivert but ultimately he’s reclusive#and Copia seems to like spending his off days playing video games and likely studied tons just to get those Employee of the Month awards#loving to perform isn’t necessarily indicative of pulling energy from being around others or being away from others#meaning that even though Secondo was apparently not as comfortable performing#the fact he sought out parties and connecting with people on his own time suggests he is actually possibly an extrovert#why is the guy with the nastiest stare the one who seeks people most?!?#Secondo: 💀u wanna go to Mellow Mushroom? I want to try a dirty bong water

my controversial tdv opinion is that mark seibert's krolock is good, actually. like i get why we clown on mark. i do. i do. but his krolock is actually. he's a bitch. he's a clown. he has the STRONGEST dad energy. he will PERFECTLY play the part of the lovestruck hero for sarah if that's what she wants and then will go and hiss at a bunch of vampires like they're misbehaving kittens.
other krolocks might have more consistent performances, but BECAUSE he switches it up so often it gives his krolock the feeling of being a fucking chameleon. he will lure you in by pretending to be so earnest and sincere and a little bit goofy and then he'll rip your throat out. and then he'll turn and go back to being a little goofy with his son.
#sophie.txt#tanz der vampire#graf von krolock#mark seibert#like. his performance as krolock is actually Fascinating to me#and tbh he's probably Up There in my ranking of krolocks#it's just so. it's so Different from other interpretations in a way i find fascinating#and it doesn't even necessarily go Against who krolock is either#it doesn't feel at odds with the text#it's just another interpretation. and i think ppl dislike it bcs he doesn't lean into the menace as much#but in a way that makes those moments where he IS a bit more menacing all the more striking. bcs he chooses his moments carefully!!#and he doesn't ever do it while mugging or being insincere as an actor. which i feel. another popular krolock. does.

My first instinct was to get pissed at him on my Zoro’ss behalf, but after some thought I’m more worried that we’re genuinely starting to fucking lose Sanji. Cause this tone and phrasing is so strangely personal? Maybe he’s trying to motivate him, but to me this feels a little more in line with the comments he was making to Jinbe earlier that feel a bit like they might be caused by the mutation…? And I understand Jinbe being worried that Zoro is taking so long with Lucci, but for Sanji to react like this is so odd, since a constant in their rivalry is mutual trust. Why the hell is he sounding like on of his own fans on powerscaling twitter.
#…Zoro gets called a burden twice in one fight that’s gotta be building toward something#Specially since so far the only person to consistently scrutinize Zoro’s strength and performance in the crew is himself#He’s the first and typically only to criticize himself for struggling#or taking too long with certain opponents#(though Lucci here is a weird case in that#I don’t it doesn’t actually feel like he was necessarily overwhelmed? The way he’s been against other opponents#There’s barely a scratch on him#And he followed through on ending the fight quick once his patience ran out. It’s odd?)#Now those fears of being a burden are being externalized. Feels intentional#Specially with the death pact still looming over us and the finale growing ever closer#one piece#op spoilers#op 1110#black leg sanji#roronoa zoro

Max knows Charles is leagues above Carlos. The moment he saw a Ferrari show up in the P3 spot and realized it was Carlos, it wasn't a "oh, I guess Carlos did a good job" nope it was "well if Carlos is here, something bad must have happened to Charles, there's no way there's a Ferrari up here and it's not him??"
Like if he's asking "what happened to Charles?" in the cooldown room, that implies that he thinks something happened to Charles, and Charles wasn't just slower than Carlos, because to Max that is just clearly impossible.
It’s a pretty well-documented fact that the only drivers that Max rates as on his level on the current grid are Lewis and Charles, so I think he’s pretty shocked when either Carlos or George turn up to the cooldown room instead because in his head either something went wrong with the car or something went wrong in the team.
I will say as well for an extra (non-Lestappen) layer of context that could have Max picking a side in the Charlos civil war—Carlos WAS Max’s first F1 teammate (Versainz holding hands on a track walk you will always be famous) so I’m sure that Max is intimately aware of both Carlos’s talents relative to his own (and therefore, Charles’s) and also the ruthlessness of the Carlos camp (it’s an open secret that vibes were rancid at 2015 Torro Rosso). Max has more of a bone to pick with Carlos than the rest of the lecfosi, so it’s little surprise that he’s engaged in psychological warfare with the Sainz camp as soon as he could this season.
#should be noted that max also has a soft spot for nando and lando#but he doesn’t think fernando can perform miracles with the Aston and he only really rated lando as able to win a race#not necessarily a championship#max verstappen#asks#anon

Watched Poor Things last night. If Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had been an oral tradition passed along among women and the Grimm Brothers collected and reinterpreted it, it would be Poor Things.
#that's not necessarily a compliment#made trite by the male gaze#poor things#I also wasn't that impressed by any of the performances#everyone was good in the same way everyone was good in saltburn#indie style of edge does not make a performance any more worthy#imo#everybody is good enough for a nod but not the win#except ruffalo....his accent is iffy at times he's overhyped even for the nod

tomgreg is not "i could fix him" nor "i could make him worse" but "i could make him feel like a real person." from both ends.
#tomgreg#there is genuine incompleteness on either end without each other#i'm thinking nrpi and the mutual obsession and being (successfully) singularly inclined toward monetary success#EXCEPT in regards to each other#greg having only the most naive aspirations until he meets tom#tom having an essentially directionless desire to be a caretaker until he meets greg#i'm thinking of that one rebvilla tg art with the caption#'doderick fell from the fantasy doggy land and became a real boy in the arms of a guy named tom'#i'm thinking of how the last time greg smokes weed onscreen has him throw it away when tom shows up#how he first does coke. an upper. onscreen directly as tom shows up#tom wakes him up and guides him#greg gives him someone to guide#they're both sponges that soak each other up bc they were sorely missing something#the ethics of their behavior are besides the point#the point is that they cease to be performative about it. tom gets less conservative greg gets less liberal#bc both were masks that weren't necessarily real#'don't be an asshole greg you don't have PRINCIPLES' <- tom accurately calling greg out for being fake#i'm thinking we don't change minds. maybe we do change minds.#once again whether it's in the direction of being 'good' or 'bad' could not be FURTHER from the point#bc the human condition does not condern those things. LOVE does not concern those things.#they just push each other in the direction of being complete people. of being fucking real#mine

from the severance podcast for episode 2x09
#text#severance#kind of what I was driving at when I was wondering out loud where people got the impression that natalie was necessarily empathising with#milchick. there’s an element of that maybe but she still chooses to forego participating in any criticism and in fact participates in#in delivering milchick a deeply humiliating performance review#just said participate twice in a sentence. not fixing that. this app really sucks.
