One of my absolute positive thoughts on S3 is that it has my most favourite soundtrack by Ryan Carlson of any season, might even go out of my way and say that S3 has the best soundtrack in the whole series :0 Listening to a few songs from it after so long single-handedly saved me from a terrible mood tonight, I just love getting lost in each song and reliving the scenes they were made for.
(This is also another way of me saying that "The End" is—and I mean this genuinely with no exaggeration—the GREATEST song from a TV series soundtrack I have ever listened to and to ever grace television and animation <33)
#i will honest to god make a separate post solely about every detail of the final song that i love if I'm compelled enough to but—#no matter how many times I listen to The End#my jaw always just DROPS and I feel the need to tear up#like genuinely I can't listen to the song too often 'cause it's just THAT powerful to me#i already love the final scene of the series as it is but the song definitely makes it peak so high up into the stratosphere#it's everything a finale song needed to be for a show's final moment it DELIVERED but also had no business being that insanely well-made <3#sorry Shephard's Boy from Doctor Who you're still one of my favs but you had a good run being my no. 1#but also LETS TALK ABOUT THE OTHER SONGS IN THE S3 SOUNDTRACK TOO#'Above the Clouds' needs no introduction it has such an iconic melody <33#and 'Never Forget' and 'Secret Friendship' are also just impeccably beautiful and has such a warm and longing vibe that's so fitting to#-the context that they're about Johanna's parents#in general Hilda just has one of the most masterfully made soundtracks/scores ever that FOR YEARS i wished more people talked about#bonnie talks#hilda#hilda the series#hilda netflix#hilda the show

no way am I seeing people claim that theyre being queerbaited by Star Trek with Spirk in SNW. if you honestly and genuinely believe that theyre going to make Spirk canon then that is on you lol
#theyre never making Spirk canon and thats literally fine#we need to get out of this thing where fandoms decide ships NEED to be canon#ships dont need to be canon they just need to be fun#Spirk is very fun and it is also never going canon#if youve convinced yourself that its going to be canon then thats your own fault#'but why do they promote Kirk and Spock scenes in SNW' because Kirk and Spock are the most iconic characters in the franchise#their friendship is the most iconic relationship of the franchise#theyre one of the most iconic sci fi duos of all time#of course SNW is gonna promote that they'll have scenes together??#theyre not doing it to queerbait theyre doing it to hype up the most iconic characters interacting more#because it is a prequel#thats literally it#if you convince yourself its something else then you perhaps need to log off for a bit#and breathe fresh air

I didn't realize just how much Little Town on the Prairie meant to me as a book. I've barely started and every bit feels iconic. This one and Little House on the Prairie feel more like home than most of the other books do.
#little house#little town on the prairie#little house on the prairie#laura ingalls wilder#of course those two also just have to be the most problematic#we'll just move along past the blackface folks#nothing to see here#i'm trying to parse out why i feel such a strong connection to these two in particular#maybe it's because there's a heavy focus on farming and carpentry and small town country life and that's the background i come from#i know that this one already has the best sisterly content#i had a post brewing about how odd it is that of all the classic 'woman writing stories heavily based on her childhood' books#this series has by far the least focus on sisterly bonds#this subject will probably be its own post by the end of the book#i have been loving the greater laura-carrie connection i've never noticed before in the past two books#though i wasn't sure if it was really there or if i just paying more attention after going to the carrie museum#but this book is really giving us laura-mary friendship at last#which is great cuz in the early books she barely talks except to fight with laura#so it'll be nice to see that develop#not to mention we still have the iconic desk scene#(if this book gives mary her due it does continue the anti-older-sister crusade with its portrayal of eliza jane)#anyhow i should stop writing tags now have a good day

Garroth: booty shorts that say "chic-fil-a wants me dead" Aaron: wouldn't it be shorter to just say Gay Garroth: it's not about efficiency its about sending a message.
#garroth's friendship with every single character in the series is so iconic#each in their own special ways too#he's one of the most friend shaped men i think#a true bro to all#which also means Yes. i did have a hard time picking which character to use.#mystreet#mystreet starlight#love love paradise#mystreet lover's lane#garroth mystreet#aaron mystreet#incorrect quotes#incorrect mystreet quotes#source: tumblr#aphblr

danny talking about how resentful she became when nobody who she self-sacrificed for cared when she died and then leaving kirsch with laura and carmilla bc "if he stays with me i might lose control again and kill him" kinda confirms my thoughts abt both newly-turnedness and anger making vampires more vampiry
but also makes me think that in more usual circumstances, when the dean turned vampires like carmilla and mattie, that shes really nice at the start to temper any of that unruly anger
#we dont have a lot of info on her usual mo i guess but im thinking a lot abt how it mustve gone with carmilla#i dont know if she was a special case or if this is usually generally how it goes#i suppose you dont necessarily need a lot of new ones do you. if youve got one vampire seductress in working condition#mattie had her role on the board#danny was just for end of the world purposes i think. opportunistic turning. to replace will perhaps#but im thinking abt how at first the dean and carmilla were kinda close. and i have no illusions abt what that meant for the dean like#im sure it was just to control carmilla. play into what she needed to ensure centuries of loyalty. and that kinda worked until elle#and looking at mattie i expect most of them will eventually start rebelling so i wouldnt be surprised if she did smth similar with mattieto#just 1000 years earlier. and at our point in the story mattie is doing strained coexistence with her right?#carmilla is well in mattie's view rocking the boat once again for a cute girl#thats so funny oh my god. iconic. take the first lesbian predator archetype character and make it so that she keeps#rebelling against the evil BECAUSE shes so gay#like literally thats her entire motivation 'of course i was just doing it for you' oh my godddd hfkjhgjhghj ICONIC#i love her so much i love her soooo much#what was i talking about. oh yeah so i think the dean in usual circumstances is very nice at first and spoils her new vampires#to foster allegiance#god carmilla must just have been so happy to have someone care about her and be nice to her i think#every thought i have abt 18 yo carmilla is so sad#but i can imagine those early years/decades of her and the dean travelling around. mattie there too maybe not all the time#but enough time. mattie there too specifically also to make carmilla feel wanted and make friendship so she wouldnt rebel#to guide her through her young vampire years probably! damn yeah i bet that was mattie who taught her all the tricks#mother isnt a vampire and i dont see her really caring. i think mattie probably taught carmilla the do's and don'ts of vampiredom#and they had fun! they had fun with it. they had cruel fun being vampires together. i think carmilla was just happy to belong#maybe mattie was happy to have a friend too idk if she had many. not many vampire friends anyway. she seems to have fun being a sister#anyway. just thinking aloud#carmillaposting

Just thinking about @10yrsy’s Things, y’know, casually (Patreon)
#Doodles#IZ#I know Things is long dead but I've been feeling rather nostalgic lately#Man let alone Irkens when was the last time I doodled a Latrodectus haha - and 10's style of antenna! It's all quite nostalgic#I'll try not to get Too sappy but it's hard when I was so inspired by Things! It had a big impact on me#Without exaggeration Things helped shape the trajectory of my life for quite a while - it's interesting to think about artistic influences#But gosh heck I don't think I've doodled anything of any of them since the song contest all those years ago lol#I like to think I've improved a bit since then lol ♪ Though the medium is quite different haha#Finally drew Nid! Only took a Very long time lolol#I do remember having doodled some Extreme roughs for a comic concept ages and ages ago but that's really all I remember lol#Maybe hunting down those old notebooks sometime would be fun haha#ANYway lol - enough reminiscing! There's all this current silliness!#Snarp was my favourite back in the day and I still like him a lot haha#He's a prickly little so-and-so! A cute and spicy lad! Always a fun ♪#If ''little meow meow'' had existed as a term back then I would've used it for him lol he deserves it#It really is about the [unforgivable nature] paired with [unconditional love] hhh their friendship is still really cute <3#Myk! He's always had the most gorgeous design <3 His eyes! My word!#Beauty like that really doesn't age - I was always a fan of the close up of his eye and his skin texture ahh#Probably no one remembers this blog's original icon but hmm ♪ Inspiration down many many avenues haha#Hopefully I did his eyes justice with my limited traditional palette haha#Had to show off his muscles a little too <3 Those gloves man he's just a pretty dude!#I did a bit of editing magic with Nid so if his eyeline doesn't quite match up just sshhhshshshh it's fine lol ♪#Who's saying which and who's gasping hmmm who knows it's a mystery hehe#And ending off with those two again <3 It's their dynamic I swear I just jdslfdsf it gets me bad lol#Squish him hold him (gently (maybe not that gently)) haha

I had no idea the funeral episode was the first time House and Wilson talked after Wilson quits his job 😩 And he quit his job because he finally grew some balls and told House:
"You should have been alone on that bus"
"We were never friends"
😭😭😭😭
#I don't remember the first episodes of season 5 but i remember the funeral one it's iconic#House md#Look i love House but he's such a bad friend to Wilson most of the time 😭😭 eventhough I love to watch their friendship#It's not a healthy relationship and they both know it 🙏#Wilson: i'm not even sure that we can choose who are friends are 😩#I love you Wilson but leave the man omg#I'm just kidding#No i'm not

and suddenly i find myself on an unquenchable quest for knowledge (guy who’s been spending hours reading k-idol info pages)
#fishy’s bubbles#insofar i’ve been a ‘oh i just listen to music’ k music enjoyer/fan#like fr. if it gives it vibes idk what you want from me#but now. now i just want to make connections n know faces n ages n debuts n friendships n activity#ig i did drop off on keeping up on my multi-idol/group enjoying so now i wanna know what’s happened since i dropped off#(i dropped off rounds about the tail end of gen 3/3.5 and now we’re a good bit into gen 4 but all im wanting to do is pick back up#n see how my prev loves r doing. it’s funny too bc for the most part i’m not even consciously aware of how certain groups/names are ‘iconic’#[iconic to me at least- wherein ik them n they’re still popping up here n there]#like i’m p sure i was just listening to bts in 2018#*looks suspiciously at 2017* hmmmmmm why do i think TOPDOGG (or UP10TION) has done a dance video for one of their songs using heeley’s#in a school gym)#anyway it is. so late. The Fruits would be so disappointed in me for how late i am sleeping (i’m so proud they sleep reasonably <3)

I Have really been enjoying trigun stampede on It’s own merits but it is getting hard for me to keep from comparing it to the manga… seeing great elements from the manga I love incorporated but in a really rushed and Surface Level way is kinda a bummer
#kite.txt#rly feels like they’ve speedrun vash and wolfwoods relationship in a way that makes it feel so… unearned#they still feel like strangers rn in stampede. whereas the livio and backstory stuff is supposed to be like the climax of their friendship#and of course Meryl is just absolutely . um. an absolute shadow of the character she once was#nd 7 eps in they have done nothing with Roberto that made him worth replacing Milly . the Story (and esp mery) has only suffered#from millys absence. also rly didnt need to axe one of the two female Leads in favor of another man (who does nothing)#the animation and General look is amazing and there are def some things I think were rly smart#but overall it feels like a super watered down amalgamation of manga ideas which isnt. awful bc it’s still fun but#as a trimax Fan it hurts to see a little#also the removing off all the unique elements like the lightbulbs and Angelic body horror#in favor of Stock Standard sci-fi Fluid Tube and typical ‘Alien’ looking plante#is not a decision I can defend at all it just strips the series of some of its most iconic and unique visual elements#that one just kinda sucks

oh jeez. so much broken glass. ill get the vacuum
bonus facts about this piece under the cut
ANYA: I gave her the nighttime screen because shes associated primarily with it. but in addition to that, I chose the nightscreen for her death being the brightest thing for her in the darkest time (why the moon is on hery) she takes power away from jimmy by making that choice. If you look in her eyes, you will see a bottle of pills. yeah. you get it. The glass shatter also represents her death
SWANSEA: first of all, I've grown up drawing nothing but twinks and furries. drawing swansea was the most fun ive ever had drawing something completely new. fat old man supremacy. okay, but i chose the sunset screen for swansea as he is a fading light. still bright, sticking around, but "on his way out." i added some pink to the water reflection to represent Daisuke and his influence on Swansea. Also there is a gun in his eyes. and the bullet hole glass. It's chaotic due to the nature of the wound (thanks jimbus) and for the fact i couldn't figure out how to do two bullet wounds.
DAISUKE (🎉): i picked the daylight screen for daisuke because of his bright personality. the clouds represent his doubt in being on the tulpar, but insistence on making the most of it. he has a slit on his brow and i hand it to you to decide which you like more. Either a scar from skateboarding that he tells people is from getting into a fight, or alternatively just something he does to be cool. he has an axe highlight in his eyes, in addition to the glass shatter being that of an axe hitting glass. chaotic, messy, but ensuring a mercy kill. thats why it's not clean at all.
Jimmy and Curly: Originally, jimmy was facing the viewer, and curly was also looking to the viewer. after an artistic fit of mania, i completely restructured him to turn his back on both the tulpar crew and the viewer. he looks to the viewer instead of curly, because he wants to be seen. even if he cannot face his actions (or us, the player.) I decided to put him in the blood ocean in curly's nightmares. jimmy displaces himself from a place of friendship to one belonging in nightmares. specifically for his treatment of curly. he invades curly's greatest fears as an unseen horror. i also realized curly would be looking to jimmy, as he never looks away from him in the game. gunshot glass shatter for jimmy too. its especially pretty because it was the best thing his ass could have done (i just thought it looked cool. no symbolism there)
stupid fun facts, to get references for jimmy i used vrchat.
bonus these as icons/wallpapers. use em with credit

A man was sucked into the video game and trapped inside my house with a bunch of people with wildly different appearances. Nobody was able to leave the house except to go to the backyard to fight. They fought for the chance to escape.
Only the campion could leave at the end, and he could only do that if everyone else was dead. They could only be killed outside.
The man and this other creature that resembled a man with four arms, a dark cloak, and a top hat were forced outside, and the man was panicking. His opponent wielded two small guns, and continuously fired at him. He was also trying to hit these small targets that could bounce around, and one bounced right in front of his face. He pointed his gun at it and fired, shooting the target and his own head. He died instantly, and the man was declared the winner.
He was then forced to fight Roxxy from FNAF, and he managed to kill her fairly. He then continued to fight, making his way up to face the champion.
A championship battle is won when one surrenders instead of dying, and there are ambulances nearby. The current champion was black and red, and appeared to be covered in spikes and thin limbs. They fought, and the man lost. He was taken to the hospital, healed quickly, and returned to the house.
While he was gone, a new creature appeared. He resembled those signs that mark the men’s bathroom with a simple stick figure, except with much longer arms and a hunched stature. He was bright red and had two arms on each shoulder, ending in three wickedly-sharp claws that could rip and tear. his legs were short, but powerful, and deceptively fast. He attacked the champion without even pausing to consider and won.
The previous champion had been gruff, but a decent person and fairly liked. This one was loud, evil, and very much a bad person. Everyone feared him from the moment he appeared.
When the man returned from the hospital, he found the ranks in shambles. The new champion made quick work of the fights assigned to him, and everyone was the terrified. It was a huge change from the somewhat tense, but someone friendly atmosphere.
The man met with the nicest combatant he knew, Toriel Dreemurr. Working together, they took each person and baked them into a burger. They made sure to cook each layer well so they couldn’t escape.
Eventually they got to the champion. He despised the idea of everyone coming together and tried to fight, but the burger was too powerful. He succumbed and became the last ingredient.
Then the burger was undone, and everyone was now more willing to work together instead of against each other to escape.
While everyone got ready for the car, a new kid, me, came to the house. Everyone had a unique power, and mine was called Echo. If I hit my balloon on the surface of something, then every light in the radius would turn off. It was good for blinding, but it wouldn’t do jack if the fight was during the day, and anyone with night vision would be unaffected. Despite that, I kept experimenting, because I was certain that that wasn’t all there was to my power.
I had to hurry outside to get in the car with everyone, but I left every light in the house on. I was yelled at for that and had to hurry back, and the car started to slowly pull away.
(This is what the bad champion looked like btw)
#dusky’s dreams#dream journal#fnaf roxy#toriel#toriel dreemurr#violence tw#yes the resolution was a friendship burger#that has to be one of the most iconic things that has ever happened in one of my dreams

we used to have more | oscar piastri
part 2 part 3 part 4
pairing: oscar piastri x reader
summary: while working as community manager in formula 1 you have to follow a rule of no fraternization with the drivers, which keeps you and oscar from being together
fc: different girls from pinterest
warnings: some characters have names (because there’s only so many y/f/n that i can use), some mentions of oscar’s girlfriend as her ex
a/n: so i have this one shot called guilty as sin? (that you should totally go read) and i’ve been thinking about expanding on it a little because i keep getting ideas around the same concept so welcome to an au version of my own fic in smau format, enjoy!

That make out really had him over his head
Since Cardan was crowned king before he knew of Jude’s feelings toward him, I imagine him just defeated as he realizes the cruel fact that it was easier to become a king than to get his crush to like him
#he def thought they was getting along wellll#like I meant he did think he was friends with ghost#roach#and bomb#after just one night#in htkoelths him and Nicasia became friends right away so I wonder if that’s how he made most his friendships#like “ok if we’re being friendly we must be friends”#pretty sad 😭😭 he was so mistreated he started to think friendliness meant friendship#Jude being the opposite ��💀#queen befriended her haters how iconic

Live long and fuck in Hondas (or 'why that Vulcan salute is way more significant than you think it is')
Hey. Hey Holz. Did you know Deadpool and Wolverine fucked in the Odyessy? Did you know that they now live in a one-bed with Blind Al? Did you know that -
Yes, friend. I know all of it. And you're all super fucking valid for pointing it out.
... But maybe all of you aren't seasoned Trekkies like me. Maybe not all of you gorgeous people understand the true significance of this.
Or maybe you just want a definitive way to win the argument of "are these two fucking?"
But either way, I'm here to help, and to tell you why, amongst all the absurdly homoerotic text of this film, this moment? Might be the gayest of them all.
Now, we must start by saying that although you wouldn't know it from the bullshit Abrams films, these two:
Are the fathers of gay fanfiction. Spock and Kirk here are the reason you're living in the fantastic timeline where you can write/read men fucking without any other shred of plot and that this is a legitimate and normalised internet experience - everyone say thank you, iconic papas. These guys were so homoerotically coded that even in the 60s, the era of wondrously overdramatic performances of all kinds and fairly prevalent homophobia, The Girlies still took notice, still started mailing each other fics and making zines and being just hugely excited at the thought of these two getting space-married. They are fandom as we know it today's beginning, and seventy years later they're still an enduringly popular ship on AO3. (You should all go and watch Amok Time, by the way. Contains the Honda Odyessy scene of the 60s, except there's weird biology and wrestling and just go and put it on your screens, thank me later. They fucked on that planet.)
Anyway, these two were as close as early colour TV could ever allow two men to be, deepening their *coughs* friendship almost every single episode or film - Trek's creator Gene Roddenberry even gave them a unique word in Spock's Vulcan language, with the meaning of 'friend, brother, lover.' (And if that isn't ringing any Poolverine bells, I'm not actually sure what you want out of this post. Enjoy it anyway, love you.)
... And then we get to 1982's The Wrath of Khan, and to that moment that every iconic screen couple must face - the ol' classic, it's you or me and I won't let it be you.
Sure, the set-up's a little different here - the chamber Spock's in is filled with radiation, and the scene's quieter, softer. And Kirk isn't a mutant so he can't smash his way in, he can just sit there and inwardly die as his emotional support Vulcan does.
... But you get where I'm coming from here. Ryan Reynolds doesn't take a million other potential love scenes from across the cinematic ages - no, he takes this. What is for many the romantic acknowledgement of a whole generation. The humble and desperately sweet beginning of it everything we fans know and love nowadays. The most ambiguously romantic homosexual relationship in television, directly comparative to what is now arguably the most ambiguously romantic homosexual relationship in cinema. And lest we forget, Wade doesn't believe in a fourth wall - this is a conscious choice, both in canon and in the writer's room.
Oh it's so clever and so beautiful a girl could weep. Ryan just introduced the MCU to the gays, just as Kirk and Spock did all those years ago to the masses of the time.
And then there's what it means.
This is the Vulcan salute, created to mean either 'live long and prosper' or 'peace and long life' - it's used more or less interchangeably.
But part of that's irrelevant when you're as immortal as these two.
So we're left with the sentiments of prosperity and peace, given to a man who up to this point can't imagine ever prospering again, is the furthest thing away from being at peace. Wade gives Logan the opportunity to go on, to find the things he's been lacking for so long now - things he has already helped him find. Spock tells Kirk during The Wrath that 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few,' and that's exactly what Wade's doing here - sacrificing himself for the greater good of his friends and his newly beloved, however much it will hurt them all.
And that's lovely, and poignant, and character-growing, and I think we all would have been content to leave it at that and have our noble sacrifice, however much we would have wept. Kirk goes on to find the remnants of Spock's soul in the next film in the series, to bring him essentially back from the dead because he felt it was more than his own soul's worth not to have done... which, again, ringing a bell anyone?
Because Logan, in not so many words, tells dear Wade to fuck right off, and we get this.
What we've got here is a direct translation of one of cinema's gayest moments, made somehow infinitely more gay. A true achievement here - I genuinely think I spontaneously acquired tetanus in the cinema for a good minute, my jaw dropped so hard on seeing this. The pillars are the same colour as Kirk and Spock's original uniforms, for fuck's sake. I'm dying out here.
What we've done here is create narrative equality. The whole film's kinda done that leading up to this anyway - they're both mentally fucked up men who can't die, who are constantly dying anyway, who are evenly-matched in battle and both enjoy Honda fucking, who have forged a real love even as they piss each other off at every turn.
But here, they place one another in narrative equality for the first time. It's not about a sacrifice, not now, even though they're assuming it is one - it's about what should be done. It's about righting wrongs, being heroes, being together because every option other than that is unacceptable, because neither understands quite how to lose anyone else. They've both made the same choice, and that's not to let the other die alone.
It's about holding hands and loving and never letting go, even if it kills them.
... It's just about the most romantic and gorgeous thing I've ever fucking seen.
There are no more instances of masks, once they're done in this station. They don't need them any longer; they will never need them again.
And that's only emphasised by the parting shot we get of this... almost directly after Vanessa and Wade share a final sweet look.
I don't know, man. It's almost like the true conclusion is hidden behind the acceptable masquerade. Imagine that in the MCU, folks.
They've taken one of the most intimate and sweet moments in screen history, and made even more glorious.
They did The Wrath of Khan better than The Wrath of Khan did it.
And that's... that's gay. That's just about the gayest thing they could ever have done, and I adore it to the smallest pieces.
So remember, the next time your friends disbelieve you... show 'em this. Show them that they redid the very beginnings of slash fandom, and did it better.
(And then you can add on that they now live in a one-bed with their grandma, daughter and dog, and will do for the rest of their lives. Kirk and Spock didn't even get THAT shit.)

A theory about Green and Purple's friendship
So, we all know that Green is the closest to Purple in the Colour Gang. He's one of the first to meet Purple (along with Blue) in AVM Ep.9 "The Villagers", the one that appeared to care about Purple the most in Animation vs LoL,
the one who didn't give up on Purple even though Purple betrayed him and his friends again, and the one who ultimately turned Purple into their ally.
But why? Why is Green so insistent on Purple even when everyone thought Purple was the bad guy?
My theory is that Green saw himself in Purple.
We all know Purple wanted nothing more than to prove themselves to their father Navy and later to the King, which they saw as their parental figure. From trying to obtain the Enderdragon egg to stealing the Minecraft icon, he desperately wanted to appear "strong", "powerful", "competent", so that their parental figures could be proud of them. Even if the cost is their friendship and more importantly, their conscience.
As for Green, although he doesn't have daddy issues like Purple, he also strives to act his best in front of others. He is very competitive, maybe even the most competitive one out of his friends.
He's also a perfectionist.
What's more, he is a great show-off,
and that often came with a price.
But beneath Green's "cool dude" exterior, he is a soft and gentle stick who cared deeply about his friends,
and who always saw the best in other people.
So of course Green is the one who can tell that what Purple appears to be isn't their real self. Beneath their double-crossing, power-hungry facade is a scared kid who just wants to be seen and loved.
When Green comforted Purple on that mountain top in the Note Block Universe and told them to be their true self,
maybe that is also what he learned by spending time with the Colour Gang too.
Even if you didn't always do the right thing, even if you are not the best at everything you do, even if you are not as cool or as strong as you seem to be, true friends would love you just the same.
