Last week I sketched Hiram and his daemon, they have the same energy of this old doodle of him and his soul

[balkanlila]

can't stop thinking about lila and nino's time in the shoe shop for no particular reason (lie), but she brought books to that shop... the whole affair started by the sea... the books, the shoes, the sea... all symbols of lila's childhood that have been morphed into something else, something eerie and adult, and she attached their original shape and meaning to nino, just like she has always done with elena, because he was supposed to be her way back to these things, if only indirectly, if only the small way she could possess them again existed in watching him have them. and i've mentioned this to mal the other day, but the heart of this relationship is based on a cruel contradiction: on one hand it is an attempt to reestablish childhood innocence (the books, the shoes, the sea in their original fairytale, dream-like form), but on the other hand it's overwhelmingly defined by adult themes like adultery and sex (melina and donato's relationship) it's a warped perspective on both childhood and adulthood ultimately. it's got the spirit of each right, but the motifs are all wrong, like they've crossed to the wrong side of the timeline. so, in many ways, nino, to lila, exists as both the essence of elena and rino, the gods of her childhood, and as the essence of marcello and stefano, figures tied to her brutal push into adulthood. and lila is already an extreme example of adult motifs crossing into childhood's territory so when nino appears, her understanding of sex and adultery hasn't been sugarcoated, but is rather present in, not the only possible form sex and adultery can exist in, but certainly in one of their truest forms, vulgar and dangerous in their banality. (thanks to stefano and melina and donato respectively) thanks to that, lila's relationship with nino can't be a new beginning because it's only a response to preexisting experiences and everything good about it is only good because it's better than something that happened before, but ultimately it stays within the circle it appears to be rebelling against.

cluster B system culture is getting so annoyed at all the anti endos in the community. we're not even endo, but we make a habit of blocking anti endos in support of our endo and adjacent friends. it's so isolating to sometimes feel like the only system on cluster b tumblr that hasn't been exploited by anti endos

I think the "second Medicine Seller is a younger version of the first Medicine Seller" theory could actually hold true under the hexagram metaphor. Since the Heaven and Earth Trigrams are the source of change (and we know that the second Medicine Seller contains at least one, Kun, Earth) while the Fire and Water Trigrams carry out the process (and we know that the first Medicine Seller contains at least one, Ri, Fire), this puts the second Medicine Seller closer to the origin point of life - that is to say, closer to "birth." In fact, if reading the hexagrams as an evolutionary progression (there seem to be multiple methods, but let's assume Nakamura-san chose this one), and accepting my theory that the first Medicine Seller is the final hexagram, #64, this would make him much, much older. So compared to him, the second Medicine Seller really is a kid. 😄

@edennill and others, asking for your help, because I just realized I don't really have any human fave (actual human, not a half-elf) I mean I do like Amandil, but I'm not that interested in him, and I do have a ton of elf faves and that's kinda biased.

I don't think it's healthy to have faves only in the most powerful groups, I need some balance.

Recommend me some Men, with an explanation why they're cool? (Preferably from Slim, may be LotR, but Aragorn is too mainstream 🤣 and Faramir idk, I know they're both awesome but they're not my jam)

Thank you.

hobby: speculative metaphysics

[saintadeline]

Do you think adeline ever realized that she was already dead. I think maria knows, more than all the blood drunk hunters, i think ludwig realized it too when he came back to his senses. But adeline was clinging so tightly to the hope that she could do better, did she ever remember

[quietwingsinthesky]

actually wait i do have a fucked up millie fact to share for the night. her s4-5 timeline in my head have her becoming best friends with chuck (read: Millie keeps breaking into his house despite his constant protests for her to Stop Doing That. in her defense, the roadhouse burned down and if she goes to bobby’s, her brothers will know within the hour. she has decided this means they’re best friends, and chuck is kind of pathetic and weak and can’t stop her in any meaningful way.)

(in the endverse, millie and dean aren’t on speaking terms. they’ll fight together, millie will follow him most places, but whatever was there is broken beyond repair. that’s probably because she blames him for what happened to sam, and he blames her for blaming him, and it’s a whole cycle. but in the wake of that, she’s latched onto chuck to fill the void left by sam and dean, something that’s not working. but is also the reason that when future!dean says they’re striking out to kill samifer, intent on feeding everyone into the meat grinder to do so, past!dean catches millie and chuck preparing to run in the opposite direction and not look back. i don’t think he tries to stop them.)

the point of all that being that the s5 finale happens, and millie doesn’t see any of chuck’s half of the story. doesn’t get to know what happens to him.

she just finds an empty house. she assumes it got to be too much for him. she looks for a body, and she doesn’t get to have one. she leaves.

years later, his face is staring at her across the rooms of this place that’s supposed to be her home. and millie has spent these years running in the leagues of angels and demons and leviathans, and if she knows only one thing, it’s that that’s chuck’s face. but that’s not him. not anymore. what’s inside it was not her friend. no matter what it says.

New video (this film is a masterpiece no video can do it justice):

[paperandpencilsandskips]

my assumption is that for a lot of ur analog horror or just found footage vibe stuff youre motivated by people making bad things and you want to make things better than them

Well maybe, it does sound pretty bad if I'm motivated out of spite because I think I could do better?

More like, I see something in that kinda medium that can maybe be really cool? So I myself try to reach for that little spark

My little egg ufo video stuff on YouTube was based on a sorta idea of making a kinda science slide show that I would have made in 2013 (and actually did, I loved cryptids in 2012)

And I see a lot of fake technical tutorial videos, like analog horror trying to have scp vibes

But I thought it would be cute to emulate a sorta amateurish pov for it

Sometimes I think about how the only God Slayers seen in Fairy Tail are ones that are direct parallels to Dragon Slayers. How God Slayers have practically the only form of a Dragon Slayer's element that actively hurts them to eat. And it starts making headcanons spawn like bunnies in my brain.

it really says something that the most popular video game adaption of d&d ever left out the alignment system entirely and nobody even noticed

(it says that alignment is shit)
