YOU 🫵 stop throwing people that are like you under the bus to make you look cool in front of assholes who don't understand shit
#pointing in the mirror as i say this#pointing inside my brain at my headmates also!!#honestly the reason we havent messaged people first in a while. if we talk to someone and they say something we dont agree with we'll#pretend to agree and say we hate [kind of person] eveb though that person is us...#like them: “oh furries are cringe” us: “haha yeahh glad i'm not one” *sweating*#or “people who have mcyt alters are faking” us: “haha yeah” *shoves charlie and cooper out of front*#and we realized its a cycle so now we're isolating ourself from people to avoid saying shit like that...#which is not how you combat that. by the way. we need to stop and just send a message to someone once in awhile#i wouldnt say some of these people are assholes though most of them just dont know shit and maybe if we explained theyd get it?#but the thing preventing us from explaining is fear of rejection lmao.#idk of any of this makes sense we are tired and i want to sleep but cant... anyway we need to get tested for insomnia i think

Edit: whelp there it goes. Worth a try at least. Here's the playlist by itself. It's set up so that you can follow along on here and see the art that goes with each song (both music and art are arranged in the same order for convenience)
-
HOOOOOOO BOY this was a lot of work lmao, so i got into LGTS this past christmas and after making a playlist inspired by it for myself, i figured i'd make a video of it paired with original fanart!
I'm aware there's a high risk of the video getting taken down for copyright (what i'm doing mostly is just seeing what i can get away with under yt's Ceaselessly Watching Eye and maybe if it goes well i can make more playlist/art videos?? no biggie if it doesn't work out, just testing the waters ig) SO! i'm putting the art on its own on tumblr jic i can't keep the video up. the art is the most important part to share anyways right?
#lgts#little goody two shoes#tw blood#tw eye imagery#lgts fanart#lebkuchen lgts#lgts spoilers#freya lgts#elise liedl#rozenmarine lgts#goldia die heilige#goldia pocket mirror#pocket mirror spoilers#aziel lgts#murim lgts#walpurga lgts#ozzy lgts#elise x lebkuchen#elise x rozenmarine#elise x freya#if you look at the death scene art you'll see it kinda looks like rozenmarine is saying 'GRANNY IM PAPA'#that. was an accident. but i was too lazy/tired to shift the text around#i wanted to point it out bc it will never not be funny to me. imagine saying that and immediately dying#my art#happy pride 🌈

the fact that bioware wrote in a line from harding mentioning sera by name about her being part of the inquisition despite the fact that you can choose to not recruit her which effectively overwrites a player's canon and establishes a bioware canon that sera joins the inquisition????? meanwhile zevran cannot even be mentioned by name at all !?!?!?
#anakin skywalker ihateyou.gif#aev plays da4#veilguard spoilers#i don't mean to pit two characters together. i don't like sera but im not a hater.#& i know that if people kill zev off he's unimportant but bioware is so inconsistent about how they reference their chars it's frustrating#bioware critical#da4 spoilers#i love the nods to him in game but my GOD just say his fucking name bioware. he's not bloody mary about to pop out of your mirror and kil--#-- wait he might actually.#zevran? ATTACK YOUR WRITERS#at this point if they're just gonna disregard one player's canon over the other to make their own they shouldve brought zev into it#we know he's alive in their canon.#but alas. it's likely just a blessing in disguise he didnt show in dav. he would be too sexy and powerful bringing nuance into the game

the narrator & the settings person aren't opposites or opposing forces but are actually Far similar than the fandom gives them credit for;
but maybe we're not ready to have that conversation,
#twinkie talks#The Stanley Parable#TSP blogging#i want to say the narrator & the settings person are the same person. like- not actually. necessarily#but i feel the need to point out their dialogue holds the same attitude & the settings person's sentiments mirror the narrator's#to a degree. if not explicitly at one point or another#now this could be just due to the attitude of the game period but given how intricate & developed TSP IS.... i wonder#i doubt it

to be quite honest shadow's characterization in the fsa manga was always something that raised more questions than answers for me because it's like. he's got a mile-wide inferiority complex about being link's shadow we all know this but when did he have the time to develop that inferiority complex in the first place. how long was he lurking around after ganon created him before the events of the manga actually started. what did he witness or hear or both to make him so fucking angry
#that one post that went like 'what if you were the evil clone. what if you looked in the mirror and the brightness blinded you. what if you#saw exactly how good you could've been.' i reblogged it here a while ago but that's still the number one post i attribute to shadow#it's zelda telling him that he's a link too that spurs him to sacrifice himself. it's green telling him that he's one of them that#spurs him to finally reach towards the light. it was vio double-crossing him and verbally twisting the knife that made him so angry#that he slipped up and the four of them could finally land a hit in the first place. all this to say that shadow (like link) is extremely#emotionally-driven. for him to develop such a deep complex about being a shadow he HAD to have experienced some form of diminution#whether that diminution came from ganon himself or from potentially stalking link for a bit before shit went down#and understanding that all the things link possessed—comrades to count on (the knights). a loving father. a dear friend in zelda. a home.#a place to belong. were all things that he would never possess himself by the sheer virtue of being link's shadow instead of link himself.#i'm personally inclined to think it was a combination of both but WHATEVER it was my point is that it had to be SOMETHING.#he wouldn't have such a complex about it otherwise.#fsa#txt#four swords#<-yeah sure i'll main tag this

Would've loved to be a fly on the wall when Rook de Riva had to explain the entire eluvian situation to Viago
#veilguard#veilguard spoilers#has to happen at some point offscreen right because when you pop into treviso for the first time you don't start off at the diamond#so i imagine the eluvian had to be moved there afterwards#'hey boss i have access to a network of magical mirrors that lets me near instantaneously access a good chunk of the known world' says rook#viago does the mental calculations on how much this would save the house in time efficiency and travel fees#(if he can get anyone other than rook to walk through a magic mirror and traverse the fade lmao - but that's a problem for another day)#and briefly enters accountant heaven#imagine how much the crow houses would fight over the eluvians and who got access to them if they were common knowledge#viago de riva#rook de riva

Something something our lives are echo chambers and we just keep repeating the same motions
#I swear I didn’t try this time#I was innocently making a silly little keating post and then I saw these two gifs together and I was like hold on wait a minute hold up#cause why would they do this to us; why would they mirror the same scenes at the highest and lowest point of the movie foreshadowing it in#the wickedest of ways like thank god they cut this cause the girlies woulda gone sicko in the theatre like how dare they#the fact that it’s those same boys and it’s followed by Mr Perry saying he holds Keating directly and solely responsible like these scenes#woulda gone so much harder had they left it in the movie like bruh what the actual fuck#I’m just trying to make a silly little keating post and I have to put it on pause to share this parallel like a prophet sending a message#lord I am not your strongest soldier stop making me need to share the most devastating news like your sick and twisted little angel of pain#dead poets society#mr keating#john keating#worst part is I know Mr keating would have to reluctantly appreciate the cinematic parallels like he would give the most somber look but be#satisfied that at least it was poetic even if it was likely one of the worst tragedy of multiple people’s lives#dps#guess I also need to include the one in the coffin in the tags huh#neil perry#dps symposium

Honestly, when Mel gets her storyline in Noxus, I would love that intrigue of her back to the forefront that the showrunners decided to suddenly drop out of the blue halfway S2. She's going to need it there. Like Noxus is a place of magic, and don't get me wrong, I do like her as a mage and how she is connected to the Arcane. But she just got into her powers (albeit quick as hell or my girl is just a natural talent, lmao), and I don't think that alone will be enough when she's going to hopefully be involved with more seasoned mages / magic users.
Like we got to know that all of Ambessa's assets were taken by the BR, so does that mean Mel is using all her resources and money for her clan? Is she going to keep leading the army herself or decide to disban it? Is she really going to take that wolf role out necessity when it's clear she never wanted that but has to? Really hope her goal is clear and she doesn't have to step into Ambessa's footstep (let her break free from it unless we get a compelling reason why she just can't afford to and has to. But I'm pro her breaking away from it).
What about the places her mother and army conquered in her family's name? We getting that? Or just Noxus's influence in general and how large the Medardas play a part in the empire.
Or does Mel have to fall back to that Fox and feel and cope out how that place works to understand its machinations again because she's been exiled for years? Piltover is NOT Noxus, and while it wouldn’t be smart to just lean solely on wolf or fox, I do want her fox side back to deal with whatever is hopefully in store for her next journey
#mel medarda#these writers better deliver#get the right people in that writing room say s1 again because it was so good#a diversity of thought to write a strong and compelling storyline is all i ask#I'm ready for her to be gone and away from the main show and those people tbh#so they'll finally stop using her as a literal mirror and prop to make their points#new chapter for my girl

following on from this. not to always bring marc into everything (sorry marc) but if assen 2015 had happened against jorge, valentino would have very likely pulled something similar again imo. rather than what he actually did, which is approach marc almost immediately for a nice normal friendly handshake and backing off during the podium celebrations. should be noted that during laguna seca '08, valentino was very much committed to yapping at casey on the podium with the world's biggest smuggest grin on his face
partly that disparity is because jorge not marc was the direct title rival, partly it's because valentino was treating marc with kid gloves right until the second that he wasn't, which marc was seemingly entirely oblivious to. if anyone other than marc had said what he said in that presser, had then continued on with similar rhetoric during sachsenring, valentino would quite likely have gone nuclear. he's done it over less than that. his fondness for marc made him continue to exhibit uncharacteristic restraint... except that fondness unfortunately is what left valentino feeling so very betrayed when (to his eyes) marc could not leave well enough alone
#it's so delightfully tragic isn't it. a lot of 2015 played out the way it did because valentino genuinely wasn't looking for beef#but then felt backed into a corner and decided he had no other option than to blow this shit up#if casey says 'what I think is that we won the race' valentino would've torn him a new one then and there like...#if sete had called assen his best race of the season valentino would've reached for the chalk and incense even sooner#though fwiw I do think the relationship was basically doomed from that point. something would have happened sooner or later#2015 is so funny conceptually because there was already something *off* about it most of the way through. you have the familiar beats#but they shouldn't be HAPPENING with marc. they should be happening with the actual title rival - who vale never properly fought all season#assen 2015 should've been laguna should've been catalunya hell it should've been assen 2004 but it couldn't be#valentino kept accidentally inflicting the psychological blows on the wrong guy because jorge just refused to end up in a straight fight#assen SHOULD have been a pivotal race. but of course it couldn't be because what psychological blow was jorge lorenzo being dealt?#btw the unwillingness to beef doesn't just extend to marc. valentino makes a concerted effort to be uncharacteristically friendly to jorge#still think he would've rubbed assen in his face but. overall! he was trying! which again. very ironic#funhouse mirror ass season i love it dearly#//#brr brr#slowly dipping my toes into dropping 2015 hot takes on tumblr dot com... for so long these have been between me god and my google doc#i love jorge i think he's been involved in a lot of iconic battles i think it's funny not a single one of them happened in 2015#minus kinda phillip island but even there it did feel like the other three were Doing More than him#also just a different vibe to a proper one-on-one. a WEIRD title run where the third man that whole year walks away with the trophy#idol tag

a fan in this panel i'm watching asked about the cas and collette paralells so i got curious and went looking through s10 for castiel and collette mirroring but i didn't find any so now, genuinely wondering what's being paralleled between the two in a way that also mirrors dean and cas to cain and collette, i just straight up looked it up on here and the num1 reason just seems to be sam omission
#like it's very largely hinged on the fact that they didn't cast an abel#(<- which already doesn't make sense bc the whole point is that he's dead. cain killed him#his absence is needed for cain's character to have an impact. especially on dean. whose abel is working on getting rid of the mark#ANDDD is acting as a surrogate collette during the interim of him having the mark)#and that seems to give them the room they need to ignore sam's role in the moc arc entirely#there's a lot of just saying that the parallel is there and that cas mirrors the role/sits in the role of collette but no evidence#but i've seen gifsets of the sam and collette mirroring... so...#cas is also very much more so directly involved with sam and angel politics than he is to dean in this season so#like all the sneaking he does for dean is on behalf of sam. so there's a massive amount of canon cas omission going on here as well#looks around. no one is surprised. every one is getting up and leaving actually#anyway i think u could say that dean's entire support system was dean's collette and even that would make more sense than it just being cas#also jensen's response to this question was to tell the story about how he stabbed jared in the scene after dean kills cain#and they acted it out because of course they did they act it out every time#ludere

It is 2024 and I am here having feelings about Gilbert Norrell seated across from Jonathan Strange, his tea going cold before the fire, as tears form in his eyes and he pleads with Jonathan to not leave his side and thus make him bereft of the magical companionship that he never knew that he so desperately craved until the very moment that he found himself on the precipice of losing it (potentially) forever:
"There will be noone to talk to. We will be quite alone".
🔪💔
It is too good, the peak of cinema 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
#jonathan strange and mr norrell#gilbert norrell#jonathan strange#jsmn ep 4#all the mirrors in the world#you know that he is calling him 'jonathan' in his head now#going feral over here#lmfao#he's been a shit#but think of him as a lad trying to reach john uskglass#who would not even return his messages#and then along comes this dashing fellow magician#every bit as in love with notions of the raven king#as norrell was in his youth#and it just breaks his traumatized little magical brain#you know he wants nothing more than to leap#out onto the king's roads with jonathan#but at this point he is far too magically repressed to cope#to say nothing of etiquette and rules and boundaries and#i want to both smack and cuddle him

It's so wild to me when people treat the disco elysium world as any other fantasy world, with seemingly no ties to our real world and its geopolitics, when politics is such a big facet of the game? "Which disco elysium nation would you want to live in?!" My brother in Doloris Dei I already live here.
#disco elysium#rambling#this post is NOT about people who enjoy the worldbuilding in elysium#that's awesome and it deserves to get that attention#this is about people who seem to refuse to engage with the political and philosophical nature of the game#to the point that they don't seem to acknowledge the way this art is holding up a mirror and what it's trying to say#also this post is shaking hands with that other post about how people who make Harry and Kim different fantasy races in AUs missed the poin#anyway i live in sur-le-clef/oranjerijk and if that makes me uncomfortable bc of the glimpse we get of it in DE#then i should consider why that is and what role my country plays geopolitically!!#yes this was triggered by another reddit post

I love (hate) how Dark Disciple Clone Wars arc & the book acknowledged Asajj's character and depth like once or twice then called it a day. They did not care for her other than that, she was only there to uplift Quinlan's character the rest of it
Now this. This right here. It could've been everything. This is probably my favorite moment from that godawful arc/book. But nooooo a moment later Quinlan shows up and ruins my life like every time and Asajj almost dies 2 times because ofc
#“It's a great pity that out paths have never crossed before”#and#“such a pity you and i”#the main tcw trio and asajj parallels will always ruin me emotionally#btw this post is a half formed thought so idk if it makes any sense or says anything really#the clone wars#tcw#sw#star wars#asajj ventress#ventress#sith#dooku#count dooku#not tagging this as quinlan bc it's just me hating on him in dark disciple#dark disciple#ok ok do you ever think about how asajj mirrors at some point in her lore each of the tcw trio#ahsoka and her part is literally stated in tcw#she's the sith apprentice to anakin's jedi apprentice in og cw and she has a lot of the same backstoy as him in canon#and in the republic comics and in general she has a lot of the same role as obi-wan#idk how to explain that last one but yeah it drives me crazy#also also i love thinking about dooku as asajj's fucked up father figure#but the way he really did want to train her as his apprentice and eventually overthrow palps is like#so painful#and yeah he told her in dark disciple he didn't really but do I look like I care#daily asajj thought of the day

It just occurred to me that we've not had an in depth portrayal of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour since the Tudors. Or just, Jane Seymour in general. So I am really curious to see how Mirror and the Light/Wolf Hall is going to handle them.
We get to know about her family, we'll learn about Elizabeth Seymour as well, and how important she is.
#and maybe we have I just haven't seen#most of the portrayals of jane are very much her being viewed as the 'other woman'#which isn't at all fair#she is never truly given her own type of spotlight#at least until like i said#the tudors#and there is either over pacification of her or over villainization of her#and by pacification - i mean people just portray her as a mindless doe like character#who has no type of motives or goals of her own#when it was her who worked tirelessly to introduce mary back to court#and it was her who was sympathetic to the catholics and the pilgrimage of grace#anywayzzzz#can't wait to see how wolf hall handles her#and if this is going to be a type of portrayal that is everlasting - like the tudors#jane seymour#wolf hall#henry viii#mirror and the light#i do know that most of the focus in the new series is going to be Thomas Cromwell - whom I am obsessed with to the point of#I think it's best not to talk abt him or y'all would look at me weirdly#but what I'm saying is i'm not going to expect *too* much#because the tudors was really focusing on the queens and not the courtiers#and mirror and the light's main focus is certainly the courtiers
