#poor snake boi

I feel Sir Pentious's pain when he fails to get with Cherri Bomb after trying so hard and his "Dammit" at the end was so powerful his own hat seems surprised by it. XD Husk and Angel Dust being more or less just done with everything is funny though

*Also, with how quick he got away from the other people wanting to have sex with him and with how he seems pretty much intact, I'm guessing he either used his hypnosis powers, managed to sneak away or got to rescind his consent to have them let him go. Poor snake boi though. :/

SQH prompt since you asked for one in the tags of that one post.

SQH and SQQ on their cart journey to get the sun moon dew mushroom seeds!

Thanks for the suggestion! I love their stupid little roadtrip together xD although this quickly became less about me figuring out SQH's hair/robes and more about me figuring out how in the world to draw a horse drawn carriage... SQQ needs to use his sword more just so I can avoid this

Enjoying a rewatch of the series and noticed that in "The Case of the Hungry Snake", as Crystal and Esther here have their match of wits, besides the "No's" and "Please" Edwin cries out to Crystal that it hurts.

Doesn't seem to be a distraction tactic, because that would've pulled Esther's attention towards him and could have revealed what was going on below the table... and he definitely wouldn't have wanted that...

Completed this video earlier on in the week but held off on posting cause I was considering using some voice overs, and now I'm very glad I did because the trailer gave me new voice overs, clips, and thumbnail to use! Happy Snake Boi Callum week everyone!

TBOSAS was a great movie and an even greater miss---here's why:

The problem here is no fault of the movie. It's not that it isn't a good adaptation or that it cut out too many important scenes. The casting was amazing, the acting phenomenal, the writing and plot translated immaculately into the screenplay format, and the ending was tragically beautiful. All of those boxes are ticked. The problem lies with one thing: Coriolanus Snow.

To understand what I mean, I'll bring the main trilogy to the stand. All of the books were written in first person from Katniss's pov. There were things that we as the audience don't know because Katniss doesn't know them and vise versa all do to her inner monologue. But there are also things we as the audience do know that Katniss doesn't because she's an unreliable narrator. She often misreads people because, whether she'll admit it or not, she's highly suspicious of those that aren't obviously weaker than her and is quick to judge in general. Her biases and black and white moral standpoint can be attributed to her environment, ptsd, and, though not confirmed, Autism (source: I'm actually Dr. Autism) or bpd. So, in this case, she's unreliable, but we understand it's not malicious and it was translated well in the movie (i.e. her thinking Peeta wanted her dead, her thinking Peeta is only acting like he's in love with her, her misconceptions about Finnick.)

Coriolanus Snow on the, other hand, is an entirely different case. He's a bad person at the start of the book and that isn't up for debate. His thoughts about Lucy Gray should make you angry, let alone about people who knew and cared for him for years (Tigris and Sejanus). He is also an unreliable narrator, but in a completely different sense than him. While hers is founded in ignorance and defensiveness, his is built in paranoia and narcissism. He's obsessive, possessive, demeaning to any and everyone, and thinks he's owed more than he is and hates anyone that has what he doesn't. We get all this through his inner thoughts as well (him hating the very idea of Lucy Grey being with anyone before him and likening her to a whore---implying she's slept with peacekeepers, wanting to own her in the literal sense of the word hating Sejanus for having basic human empathy, hating looking down on the Plinths who have been nothing but kind to him, so on and so forth). I say he's bad because, though he hasn't done any of the horrible things he thinks about or acts on them is because he didn't have the power or social standing to back them, something he has plenty of as a president. All this to say, the movie lacks that insight into the character that we gain with Katniss. Enough that people that have only watched the movie genuinely believe he was a nice person drove to the brink or thought there was a little gray area in regards to his morality. Enough that people that think the actor is hot will say they like "Coryo" not Snow, or some people send hate mail to the author because they think she tried to humanize him/excuse his behavior, the exact opposite of the point of the book. I don't fault the movie too harshly for this too harshly. Other than having a voice over, they could do very little to convey his every horrid thought. And because of this and Tom's phenomenal acting, Snow was able to manipulate the audience just like everyone else he fucked over.

Snow is a narcissist who can't wrap his mind around people genuinely being kind while having no ulterior motives, because he would never do that from the kindness of his heart. He thinks everyone is trying to back stab him and want to turn on him and are out to get him or are trying to embarrass him because that is what he would do if he was in their position. Unlike Katniss, he can read people and he can act his ass off, but unlike Katniss, he can't see the best in people because he doesn't want to/it doesn't benefit him. He had many opportunities to do the right thing or the kind thing and actively chose not to.

He, more than anyone in the Capitol, even more than Sajanus, should know what the Districts go through. He grew up poor, starved, and was forced to grow up too soon. He knows what it means to have nothing, be starved, and go into the arena and almost be killed. Yet, he looks down on them and sends children who were younger than him when he went into the arena, to their deaths because it benefits him.

He's a horrible person. He's always been bad, but he strove to be worse. I'm not saying the movie wasn't able to portray this in it's own way, but since it's not as obvious and in your face if you're too focused on how cute you think his face is, you can miss it. You'll find reasons to justify his actions just like he does and, ironically, become like his inner monologue where he continuously made himself the victim in almost every scenario.

Again, great movie! Fantastic even, my I beg of you, read a book. Or watch a youtube essay about it.

random elden ring theory

I am absolutely driven to distraction wondering how much Messmer knew about his siblings and if he even knew they *were* his siblings.

So, if he IS the child of Radagon and Marika before they became one person, then I assume he would know at least that he was a half sibling to Rennala's kids. And the Remembrance of the Wild Boar tells us that: Both were as elder brothers to the lion, and both were cursed from birth. In spite of, or perhaps because of this very reason, Gaius was both Messmer's friend and the leader of his men.

Gaius's chest plate also reads: Gaius was the most senior disciple of the same Alabaster Lord who taught Radahn and Gaea gravitational technique

So presumably, Gaius and Radahn were in the Lands Between at the same time, learning from the same teacher. If Gaius and Messmer were friends at this time, we can maybe assume he was there too. Considering what happened to the giants->

I think there's some strong evidence he was rocking around up there around the same time as Godfrey. Does that not look an awful lot like a giant impaling object surrounded by scadu-thorns?

Also, if you check the label on his spear it says that it was: remade by the forging arts of the realm of shadow. Which means that the original forging arts that made it were from somewhere else.

So anyway, if all that together adds up into Messmer being in the Lands Between concurrently with at least some of his siblings, who were presumably aware of him...

Did Rykard do what he did because he admired his older brother? Did he become this thing because he felt that Messmer was some kind of peak expression of crucible power?

Considering the description of Messmer's Orb says: Mesmer despised his own fire. Time and time again he hoped to rid himself of it, but ever did he burn.

That makes it all so much sadder.

i genuinely lose sleep wondering if sejanus knew snow ratted him out and sentenced him to death before he was hanged

i cant wait to see if they’ll make that clearer in the movie, and i’m terrified about hearing his last cry for Ma

[drama-glob]

Just look at Angel's face when he hears Charlie say that the hotel is really important to her. He's grown to appreciate what she's done for him and that it's not just about free room and board anymore. He cares so much about her. ^_^<3<3<3

*Also, please take the time to appreciate and acknowledge the sad snake off to the side of Angel Dust. He looks like he could use a hug. <3<3<3<3

More dnd writing because it's all I have but I here's a snippet from a vignette I did of Rook's past (from Zara's POV), because Rook and his mentors never fails to make me sick (/pos).

[transcript under the cut]

Taking a coin out of her pocket, she rolled it across her knuckles, back and forth. It gave her hands something to do, and prevented the urge to bite her nails, something she hadn’t done in years. Ten minutes passed, then twenty. Zara began to pace as Rook’s breathing grew shakier and the color drained from his skin. Where the hells is Jay? she wondered. The room was so quiet that she could hear every tick of the small clock on her bedside table, and each one echoed in her head. How many ticks does he have left? She didn’t want to think about it.  She’d had crew members die before, of course. You don’t go as many years as a captain as she had and never lose a soul. But all the others who had died had died quickly, in combat. She’d mourned for all of them, even shed tears in private, but there was something different about watching the life drain out of a person right in front of your eyes.

how does it feel watching the destruction of so many clocks this season 😭😭 your fic has been in my thoughts all day

Let me tell you, it has been DEVASTATING.

FIRST we have Ed insulting that poor ugly cuckoo clock. Ngl, that stung, but I get it, they ARE annoying and as far as I'm concerned their best purpose it to give me a giggle thinking about hysterically horny Stede losing his mind about how he's going to come like a damn cuckoo clock.

But THEN. THEN. You DESTROY the clocks?!?! The clocks did nothing wrong! They were just trying to do their jobs!! They just want to help people know what time it is. And they were turned into HORRIBLE KILLING MACHINES and also MURDERED in COLD BLOOD. Tragic. Devastating. Horrific. The cruelest plot twist OFMD has bestowed upon us yet.

I may never recover.

Thank you for thinking of me during this difficult time. It means a lot. ❤️‍🩹
