IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher

i do still (occasionally) (also when keith mentions it) think about how noone really interacted with phrygian much outside of their humanoid shape much (room, place, objects etc), and when they did it usually went with a general sense of that being so strange / weird / kind of offputting. and of course part of it is that it's jokes from the cast & saying things like 'i don't want to party inside of you' are just kind of funny, i guess*, and on the other hand (watsonian) i can buy it from the characters who were raised with/under anti-branched propaganda, HOWEVER

Get over it!! Get over it!!!!! Skill‼️ Issue‼️

Made it because many people don’t seem to realize that a huge part of the characters were alive at the same time

posthumous

what if Plath had become famous for her art and not her poems? what if the bell jar was never written? would her name still be so known? if she'd painted, would she have had the same life? would she have been happier?

did Kafka's mother love him? he was the oldest of his siblings, did they love him, look up to him? did he take care of them? would his lost work be known if his family had supported him? would he have even created his known works? would he have written at all?

posthumous fame is like a wildfire, the way it ravages artists and authors. it makes those who are around notice the damage, but they can never know how beautiful the forest was before, they'll never know every inch of what was lost. Why does it take death for so many to be known?

if gargjuro's wee ghost brother never got named is he just going to dick around forever and ever even after they die

I'm very dizzy so I'll show up here again in three years (this is my posthumous letter)

Inatober day 2 vampires but like just 1 vampire and today there isnt comic because im dizzy as fuck what is happening on my brain

This is a story about many things.

A clock. A bed.

He wanted to go with his friends.

But his dad had other plans for him.

"You will not leave this house".

Kariya yelled and cried.

But he was now captive on his bedroom.

They will be having happy dances,

And will trade gifts,

But he on his room will stay.

"Hewwo, my little friend Kariya",

He heard from his window.

And then saw the figure of what was supposed to be his friend.

"You are probably wondering why I wear this epic cape".

He was, indeed.

"Are you going to help me escape from home?".

"No, what? I am a vampire now. Look at my cape!".

But he couldn't care less-"Wait. A vampire?".

"A bloody vampire, my good little fellow Kariya".

"... You know that werewolfs are better, don't ya-"

"So shut up a moment, my friend. I got bitted on my neck. Now I am small vampire, but if I recruit another vampire, I become bigger vampire. You can be that small vampire I am looking for, or you can be my zombie friend. You can, like, eat your parent's brains, or something".

"Why I couldn't be a werewolf?"

"THAT'S-I dont know how that works. It doesn't matter".

"I want to be a werewolf!".

"I want to stop being a vampire so I can still play soccer with my friends, Kariya, but life is a bit difficult. We live in a constant crisis. I need a small vampire. Will you share this curse with me?".

Hikaru reached out his hand from the window frames. He was about to fall, but he still wanted to look cool.

"... No, that sounds gay".

"Well, you miss it. You are missing the best epic adventure ever".

Hikaru was about to let himself fall from the window, but then Kariya hold his cape, making Hikaru hang from it. Now Hikaru was looking even more ridiculous.

"Thank you for that", he didn't really wanted to die.

"It's okay, Hikaru. I will be your werewolf friend".

"Ah, I guess you can be my werewolf friend. But the clan will not hear anything about that, okay? That would bring shame to my name".

"Okay!". He let Hikaru fall.

Imagine a Clastevania story about Kariya going to kill Hikaru.

And a Kariya Belmont design.

But you know.

I have a math test tomorrow...

I am very dizzy.

The end.

Leon Stamatis and Louisa Alvarez were so poorly matched as a couple, and I'm not convinced they even would have stayed friends post-break-up if Leon had lived. And yet each of them works so well as a best friend to Michael. The biggest thing that Leon and Louisa had in common was a propensity to love and support Michael Tate, and that didn't even become apparent until after Leon was dead.

Ayrton Senna (198?) // "Ransom" (2009) by David Malouf

[thegreatyin]

hollow knight is a brilliant game because it's like this dark souls esque setting and lore about gods fighting over kingdoms doomed to fall time and time again and basically everything everyone does to prevent the end fails in every possible way and the entire point of the game itself is that you're just breaking a cycle of stagnation and possibly inviting this to happen all over again and also the single most important character looks like this and is obsessed with buzzsaws for no reason

Last night I had a dream where the new chapter came out and in it Fushi and the doll kissed on accident (think of a romantic comedy manga where the girl falls onto the guy and they end up kissing somehow. It was like that) and Fushi was so surprised that they threw her out the window.

me with brainrot for a specific book series that's incurable: okay but imagine neil is a zombie that's not so cute now is it-

[mortalboy]

im like if henry darger had an adderall prescription

[camtankerous]

What if one day Hermann wrote to Newt how he'd like to study Newt's brain after he passes and Newt promised him his brain

I feel like it would be the other way around bc newt is the biologist but i also know full well hermann would specifically put in his will to not let newt anywhere near his brain just on the principle of fucking with him

[soup-sponge]

... what would you do if i started riverdaleposting.

@anoia Sally Whitemane THE woman with the most iconic mog in Warcraft who technically isn't actually married to him because Blizzard are COWARDS who HATE marrying characters but if they aren't together then we have the worst case ever of a female character being down bad for a guy since Azshara with her last words being her calling his name five years after his death.

Renault is an underrated character. Hes unhinged and he has big tits and a hot wife. Literally what else do you need in a character in this universe

I love it when pre Original Trilogy era shows how much effort went into making the Death Star. It took decades, literal decades, and it took so much money and so many people and it was such a secretive thing and it’s staffed by millions because it’s the size of a small moon.

I cannot express how much all of the added information makes it so much funnier that Luke blew it up.

Luke destroys literally everything Palpatine built. He blows up the Death Star, which was referenced in universe as early as the second movie. He blew up the weapon of mass destruction twenty years in the making. And he blew it up pretty much directly after it’s first and only successful attack. It was operational for fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes that Palpatine had the thing he’d been building for longer than Luke has been alive, and Luke blows it up. First day retirement, but first hour retirement.

Luke convinces Darth Vader to turn back to the light side, a feat thought literally impossible by literally everybody. Sidious clearly doesn’t see Vader’s betrayal coming. Vader’s betrayal was not in his plans, nor was it something he was prepared for. Sidious is a powerful Force user with all four limbs while Vader is a man in the tin can Palpatine put him in. If Palpatine had seen Vader turning coming, he would not have allowed it to happen.

Luke literally should not even be alive. Palpatine almost definitely got Padme out of the way on purpose, and he almost certainly was trying for her unborn child as well (there was way too big of a risk that a cute liddol bebe would bring some humanity back to Anakin, and Palpatine did not want Anakin to have any humanity) Luke living is literally the first step in Palpatine’s ultimate downfall, especially once Vader finds out that Luke is his son. His very alive son. His son that is not dead, despite Palpatine claiming Anakin killed Padme. Implying that Anakin killed Padme and she posthumously gave birth. But, she didn’t give birth on Mustafar, which was the last place Anakin interacted with her. And once the mother dies, you have to get those fuckers out fast or they die too.

I imagine Darth Vader piecing all of this together is that meme with all the math floating around his head, because how could Padme have died by his hand and then given birth like two hours later?

Luke killing Palpatine is what ultimately leads to the dissolution of the Empire as an omnipotent entity. Luke killed the Empire. Luke spends a good amount of his adult life killing Empire remnants. We see that in the Mandalorian, since he’s so recognizable that Gideon immediately knows he’s fucked just by seeing an X-wing. We read it in Legends’ continuity, where Luke terrifies Imperials because he can walk into their changing room and stand in their for a minute and they don’t even notice.

Luke destroyed Palpatine’s life’s work. Everything Palpatine spent his whole life working towards, and Luke kills all of it. He blows up not one, but two Death Stars (he may not have pulled the trigger on the second Death Star, but without him, it never would have been destroyed). He convinces not one, but multiple Sith and Dark Jedi to return from the Dark Side. He is the only reason that Obi-Wan Kenobi, the biggest pain in Palpatine’s ass ever born, lives long enough to make it to the Death Star.

Palpatine went through so much effort. And just when he had finally won, when he finally had a weapon capable of destroying entire planets with a single blast, making it impossible for any planets or peoples to go against him, Luke shows up nineteen years late to the Jedi party with space Starbucks and a droid twice his age and almost singlehandedly destroys everything Palpatine ever had a hand in creating.

Luke manages to become even worse than Obi-Wan Kenobi, the ultimate thorn in the side of politicians, and Luke doesn’t even understand any politics. He wasn’t trained in diplomacy like Obi-Wan and Leia, no, he’s a farmboy who left home for the first time in his entire life, just this morning. And he is the one to destroy the Empire.

If they rewrote Star Wars and had it entirely from Palpatine’s perspective, Luke Skywalker would be his greatest foe. Luke Skywalker would be the final boss. Luke Skywalker is the antithesis of everything Palpatine believes in and he is the one character that Palpatine cannot predict. He isn’t as moldable as Anakin, he doesn’t respond to threats very well, he’s apparently impossible to kill via Force lightning (still the funniest scene of all times, the progression of Palpatine’s face falling and him looking like “what the fuck??? Is this kid rubber??? I’ve electrocuted him eight times???”), his unwavering faith in his father’s goodness makes Darth Vader want to be a better person, Luke Skywalker is the big bad of Palpatine’s story and—

There is nothing in this world that is funnier than someone’s biggest antagonist being Luke fucking Skywalker. Luke Skywalker, who saved the galaxy with the power of love and who shouldn’t exist, by Jedi rules and by Palpatine’s own attempts, and whose best friends are literally droids, which Palpatine canonically hates!

Everything about this is hilarious, this is the funniest thing in all of media, Palpatine loses absolutely everything to some backwater farmboy who fucking likes droids.
