#serious + optimistic

[rosetyler42]

With all this talk of Drericka and Jake/Rose comparisons getting me into simething of a ADJL kick, I thought it'd be fun to draw these two sparring together. Ended up going in a different direction than expected. It was just going to be banter about Ericka being the more experienced one/giving her advice, But it ended up going in a mich fluffier + funnier direction. Which fits even BETTER with these two, anyway. (And allowed for fun "bait and switch" joke and Addams-esque bits.)

Still a fun way to bounce these two characters off each other, playing with how this interaction would go. The bouncy older huntress who chose to leave her situation for love and family and the child who felt trapped in her situation until Jake made his wish that freed her from it.

The best part of the trailer was when shadow dropkicked a fucking 8 year old, as is his habbit

Also during the precious temporary ceasefire the IOF didnt actually stop killing people so

Exactly!! People were celebrating that first call for a ceasefire… and then reports kept coming out about Israeli terrorists abducting and killing people, just at a lower volume (which, compared to the absolutely atrocious scale they’re operating on now, does not mean much). Even when there’s a ruling in place it’s not even enforceable

i realized last night that Pentiment is literally a video game adaptation of Andrei Rublev (1966)

so... if you liked the game, i really really really urge you to check out this 3 hour long soviet movie about orthodox monks in medieval russia

edit: it's actually true and as andrei rublev fan #1 i cannot believe i didn't pick up on it sooner

i'm so relieved that people like my retrobat stuff bc i can tell tumblr definitely prefers two very specific batmans: Tortured Diesel DILF and Edward Cullen But Cooler. meanwhile i'm out here like

In general I have not been engaging with this show in a fandom way but I gotta say Molly Cobb is absolutely my blorbo. My skrunkly problematic fave. Rotating her in my mind etc. one of my favourite ‘asshole’ characters of all time. I’m so glad they didn’t have her die of space cancer or in a fiery test vehicle crash and instead she got to round out a good decade of flying very large vehicles very fast by stalking around NASA with her fuckin. Seeing eye wolfhound and spending time in her brass tub with her weird husband (who I also love.) good for her.

Look, I know this has been said before, but if Ronance is black cat x golden retriever coded, then Nancy is the Dog and Robin is the Cat. That's just canon.

Nancy is literally a bloodhound for a story, and gets so passionate about things and protective of people. She's the serious optimist. She is a dog person. And she will go "Squirrel!" if something catches her attention.

Robin is the snarky, kinda mean sometimes, one. She would 100% knock that cup off the counter just to annoy you. She's cunning. She's an upbeat pessimist. Nancy saw hope where there shouldn't be any, but Robin worried over the bleak reality of their situation.

if i could make you do anything i'd make you create an album in your gallery called 'happy' & take a pic whenever you see a little thing that improves your day - here r some of mine :)

i think the qsmp is very impressive for speedrunning the same love-hate relationship i have with the dsmp in under a year as opposed to the three it took for the other one

[stupidrant]

found out that Playstation state of play is tomorrow. for sure pc release is getting announced and either released the same day or very early june 😍

[tethrras]

i have not even begun to process how lavinia is feeling and instead i am thinking about hilda and alistair going to weisshaupt after adamant and hilda saying they're just gonna stay for a bit before heading out to work with the inquisition and then it's been a year and then two years and beth and nathaniel are back at vigil's keep but hilda can't bring herself to go back when the whole order is at best a laughingstock and at worst an enemy in ferelden and her and alistair build a home in weisshaupt that neither of them really want and. Augh.

[bolasrojas]

This fandom has held such a special place in my heart and has introduced me to so many new cultures that I’ve completely fallen in love with. I will stay here for as long as everyone else is no matter how fuck up it all may seem now.

Yes it may be over for the actual qsmp but that won’t stop me caring for and loving all you wonderful people. ❤️

thinking about how we're introduced to yang in the yellow trailer. she's riding her motorcycle to a club, looking for someone (to get answers to a question she's been asking for years). her fighting style involves punching people (and monsters), she's fun-loving and more than anything, enjoys the thrill of a fight. not to mention she's incredibly protective of her hair.

and it pains that through all these years, she has lost, given up, or sacrificed parts of herself for someone else's sake.

she loses her right arm protecting blake. that happens in early-to-mid fall, winter comes and goes, and by the time the trees are lush and green again yang has not even given a thought to getting a prosthetic, let alone getting back to training. she has, to a point, given up on being a huntress. and when the time comes that she does get back into it and puts on her new prosthetic arm, she doesn't do it for herself when she's actually ready for it; she does it for ruby's sake.

then, yang gives up on her chance of getting answers for the question that has plagued her mind since she was a young child to be there for ruby. her bike ends up in a river in an effort to protect blake again.

and finally, she gives up her life to protect ruby, fully believing she was dead once she ended up in the ever after. piece by piece, yang keeps losing herself. her hair is literally the only thing she has not given up (and by gods am i terrified for her when ruby and blake kept describing her as someone with long, blonde hair) and all i need to ask is:

when is it enough? when does the moment come that yang puts herself first? does she really need to lose her hair too????

this is going to be the nastiest most awful election, but i will be seated for every single minute of these horrible campaigns until the last constituency is called. i need a bingo card for how many times the tories call the police on angela rayner, how many curries keir starmer eats in durham even though it's not relevant, how many more sad, wet, pathetic speeches we'll have to pretend to listen to from rishi sunak, how many slogans and false promises on buses we must endure, how many pints we have to watch nigel farage pose with as he pretends he's running but he's not but he is but he's not but he might be (he's not), a wildcard option for whatever laurence fox is about to do to embarrass himself this time, and how many times rishi sunak or jeremy hunt or david cameron tell us about the bit of paper!! left behind from labour!! saying there's no money!! i'm going to have the time of my life.

something something a fanfic in which Ian is best friends with Yevgeny and then he timetravel and falls in love with his best friend's father.

I like to think that in this version he was raised by Clayton cause Monica obviously couldn't, and canonlike she wasn't in the picture much. He then lives with his father, stepmother and siblings but doesn't quite fit with them. Yev was raised by Svetlana and never knew his father cause he left when Yev was a baby.

When Ian travels back he is saved by Mandy. He says he's a Gallagher and she's like "I know the Gallaghers but I never saw you!". He's introduced to his "cousins" who immediately take he in like a brother? Who he is cause of Monica.

Then because of Mandy he gets to know Mickey and younger Svetlana and baby Yev and it is extremely fucked but... my dick's in your dad mouth, sorry Yev!

Gallavich: they start as friends cause Ian quickly hits off with Mandy, and soon Ian gets to understand the difficult situation that led to Yevgeny's conception and why Mickey probably left them when Yev was still a baby. Then, feelings come along and Mickey's deep in the closet but Ian's nothing if open-minded so with time it works out. Ian doesn't lose interest even though Mickey has a wife and baby, he isn't scared off easily, and Yev Svet and Mandy all like him so that's a turn on. Ian likes older guys so the fact that Mickey's an old soul in a hot young body who listens to dad music and is grumpy is what attracts Ian.

The future is forever altered. Ian now actually has a family of Gallagher's he actually likes and fits. Ian came along so Mickey never left the picture and now Yev was raised with his father around. Which changed the way Yev grew up to be, so he's not the version Ian knew, but that's alright cause then Ian gets to meet him again. And yes, they end up being best friends all the same, after all, Yevgeny watch the type of cartoons and listens to the kind of music and plays the same videogames Ian grew up with so they're very close.
