i started common side effects but i have to take breaks bc depictions of dementia really really fuck me up, but even with that i am enjoying the series
#it runs in my family and i'm p sure i'll end up with it too#but it reminds me of my nana and my grandma just before she passed#the last time i got to visit her#she was explaining photos to me#and she got frustrated and upset and remarked how she could feel her memories slipping#the last time i saw my nana before the incident that led the family to put her in full time care#was in a Walmart where she talked to me about me for a few minutes#and i will never be able to express the depths my heart sank to in that moment#then when she wandered into a neighbor's yard one night and couldn't be found for a few hours#we knew#Common Side Effects#Falling Apart and Coming Together#ugh even writing about it has my misty eyed

adam scott says in the "inside the episode" of 2.07 that it allows the audience to "see the magic of gemma and why she immediately took over [mark's] life and his heart" and dichen lachman describes the ep in the severance podcast as "the audience getting to know [gemma] and everyone seeing what mark had that he lost." well, what about gemma? how much do we really get to know her? what did she lose? why did mark take over her heart?
they had 50 minutes for a Gemma Episode and they spent half of it on dead wife tropes and her smiling at mark with come-hither eyes while not giving us a single new fact* about her or a relationship outside of mark and mark's family. a subversion of the dead wife trope is not just scenes later showing they had an imperfect marriage bc mark (or nobody) is the problem in all of those scenes; you need to disrupt the idea that she was the perfect wife, and i don't think we get that. so much of it is explicitly presented through mark's pov. she doesn't hurt him at any point. she's just there being lovely or victimized as he loves or neglects her. everything we learned about her past gives more depth to his current grief but contributes little to our understanding of her current suffering or motivations. that could change with time, but for a first try, i think it's an abysmally bad showing
* that wasn't in mark's 1.07 monologue, his conversations with devon and alexa, or the the you you are pdf, all of which i think did a better job than this episode
#very okay to reblog obviously#i don't know how to express this in the body of the post but all the 'omg... we finally learned that gemma is a person' posting i'm seeing#rlly rubs me the wrong way both bc we didn't learn a new fact about her this ep and also bc well i already knew she was a person#they talked about her. i saw photos. i imagined her. i saw ms casey be a person. at no point did i think she WASN'T a person#and i think it's just bc ms casey is Strange and Offputting and in the podcast stiller describes lachman's performance as 'otherworldly'#and it feels. a little. racist. that that was the angle and how the audience took it. but that one might just be me#like you're all so impressed over nothing over no effort or skill! ANYWAY#mark may be the main char but so many chars have their own shit going on (ex: s1 irving one of severance's great successes)#why can't gemma. or at least can she have A Personality that isn't mark's wife or lumon's torturee#gemmas important to mark but he also has stuff w petey. w helly. w devon. w wanting to unite the severed floor. w etc. what does gemma have#also ppl saying mark is also her dead wife. how. explain it to me. what do you mean. that he motivates her actions?#the issue w the dead wife trope isn't that she motivates the man's actions it's about the agencyless female char. mark is not agencyless#sick and tired!!!!!! i can't believe the cw's supernatural did a better job than severance on giving depth to their opening fridged woman#severance#severance spoilers

would you guys call me crazy if i said archetype wise that marinette's status as a Plucky Girl-Next-Door takes priority over her status as an Aspirational Everywoman. cause i have thoughts about this
#i think the reason a lot of marinette depictions (especially aged-up ones) tend to fall flat for me is that they polish away her quirkiness#which partially makes sense as she would naturally become more confident and composed as she ages#but also in my mind as she comes into herself more she would only get *more* eccentric and quirky and silly#this falls into the same nitpick i have with giving marinette too many white and conventionally attractive features#like i can't and won't *stop* you but i don't understand why you wouldn't want to make your blorbitos look more distinct#(same goes with adrien. at least explain why of all face claims you seemingly chose ALEX PETTYFER.WHAT)#but depictions of adrien are its own thing I apologize for derailing#they just both get the brunt of this sort of phenomenon but marinette especially#is it because we're so used to seeing our fiction taken over by absurdly hot people? is it part of the enjoyment? art style limitations?#overwhelmingly white/european reference photos?#do some people not find marinette's awkward adhd charm as part of her appeal?#is it just a misunderstanding of the archetypes and tropes mlb plays off of?#or is the appeal seeing this clumsy 14 year old mature into a Strong Independent Badass Strong Awesome Woman#anyway I'd like more mlb semirealism artists to depict a marinette who looks so disheveled she's painful to look at#if it's not too much to ask.

detective conan x death note au where tropical land = spaceland; light wanders off during his date with yuri, notices two people doing some kind of suspicious trade, decides to eavesdrop to see if he can get their names to write down later and gets shrunk for his troubles. wakes up as a 7 year old. the piece of death note on him is now gone. Well Fuck
#i know his emergency paper is probably blank but like#i just think it would be so fun if the black org tests it and is like. oh my god. did we kill kira#the moral of this story is to not bother people who are doing suspicious trades#is there an audience for this au. is detco like Known#i just looked it up and apparently tropical land DOES have a spaceland area. MY PERFECT VICTORY#light tries to lie about it and soichiro almost believes him but sachiko pulls out the photo album and is like. young man. explain this#sayu is delighted her big brother is now her little brother who she can mess with as much as she wants#light yagami#death note#<- fuck it why not#misa is ai btw. narratively#L is ran#please tell me someone out here knows detco im insane about this#from the drafts#hm. i might have been cooking?

I think Peter’s a camera nerd, I like when he’s actually into photography and not just taking selfies for the bugle
I like the idea of Harry being a little shit and hiring Peter for OsCorp press shoots and other stuff like that
I like the idea that Peter has a standard Nikon or Cannon (or both) and that the dork saves up for lenses and that Harry will buy him camera stuff as gifts
I like it when he has an Instagram just for his pictures bc of course he does
I like the idea that he just loves taking pictures of everything and Harry loves it and thinks it’s adorable that Peter has a million picture of park squirrels and wood stumps because they’re just so interesting to photograph Harry
And he loves his DCLRs but he’s also a pretentious film nerd
Just
✨Peter and cameras✨
#peter parker#spider man#harry osborn#raimi trilogy#parksborn#tasm#the amazing spider man#Peter is a photography nerd convince me otherwise#inspired by that one time I took my mom’s cannon and took 1 million pictures of a tree stump#And then she asked me why her SD card was filled with 1 million pictures of a tree stump#Not just tree stumps but the same tree stump [singular]#And then I had to try and explain to her that it was fun and it looks cool to play around with the camera settings#And then she deleted like 90% of photos (which fair) and it made me sad#It’s just really easy to take a lot of photos

Lifted || 04/27/2025
#today was not and continues to not be perfect—HOWEVER— I am so very grateful for this afternoon#we went to mass and it was the first time I'd gone to church where i actually felt light afterwards#like i felt actually blessed after the service idk how else to explain it#all i know is i stepped out of there feeling like the heavy weight on my shoulders got lifted away#and as per tradition: after mass me my sister and her bf walked for about 15mins to grandma's grave to visit her#she delivered with this RIDICULOUSLY GORGEOUS sunset 😍😍😍#i had said out loud—just wishful thinking cuz i know it's not gonna happen—i said “i miss being able to be away from the house and watch#the sun set from start to finish. it had been a long while since i last got to do that.“#but i think grandma heard because as it turned out no Grab driver was accepting our booking so we couldn't go home#not until it was fully dark and the stars had come out. i just thought that was so sweet 💛#oh! and i wore a dress today and it has POCKETS!!! (Pockets In Her Dress by Matt Walden starts playing)#(of course i still wore my Fuckass White Converse with the dress cuz. duh. i am nothing if not on brand)#Sunset Hoe™#mandatory sunset photo at Rolling Hills

took a shower after taking an edible and was struck by the sudden understanding of bhaskara's quadratic formula.
i am 29.
#personal#i just spent several minutes explaining to my wife (a doctor and data scientist) how an equation is just a series of instructions#and in the end they tell stories#and she said....................yes i knew#then she asked me how i saw the equations before#and i said like a static picture or a photo negative#this makes sense

so i have somehow unknowingly managed to hook my fandom veteran coworker into four walls (despite the fact that last week she hadn't even heard of alex turner), and the first thing she said when she walked into the office this morning was “what the FUCK? can't you just let miles be happy?” which now means that the entire rest of the office think i've screwed over some poor guy called miles and have been subtly trying to ask me about it all day
#i can't really explain to them that actually it's a fictional version of alex turner they need to go and question instead of me 😭#but yeah#this was a thing that happened to me today lol#the joys and perils of having coworkers who are also part of fandom life#i fear it's only a matter of time before she winds up on tlsp tumblr#she's falling HARD#at lunch she literally sidled over to my desk and asked me if a photo of alex and miles was photoshopped#(it wasn't of course)#milex#tlsp#lulu posts#four walls

……wow my parents must think I’m so sane and normal about a certain fictional character to the point my mom already knew ahead of time that I’d want to carve him huh. We are doing so well blending into normal society guys—anyways here’s spooky glowing pumpkins. There was an attempt lol
#PUMKIN CARVIN DAY ON THE SAME DAY AS WOTFI 2024 WE ARE LIVING THE BEST LIFE RIGHT NOW#YEAAAAAAA#also I tend to self-deprecate exaggerate but in transparency my parents are quite open and understanding#like my mom has viewed my YouTube and seems to genuinely enjoy seeing me happy#I think she recognizes where my passions lie and wants to support it#it’s just that even when she’s willing to listen to me explain Puzzles I get all sweaty and nervous lol#LIKE UH….UH….COOL TV GUY WE LOVE HIM UH….PATHETIC MAN UH….#and then I stop functioning#also this is the second time I’ve ever been brave enough to carve my comfort character!! :’D#first time was The Snatcher back in 2019 or 2020#I’ll actally see if I can find those photos tomorrow maybe#random#update#pumpkin carving#hplonesome art#mr puzzles pumpkin#mr. puzzles pumpkin carving#smg4 mr puzzles pumpkin#mr. puzzles pumpkin

sometimes i'm like. am i actually a narcissist? just for a moment. then i remember that from the ages of like 12-19 i eschewed all other photographs or more normal forms of decoration to keep a framed photo of myself on either my desk or my bedside table where i could look at it constantly. cuz i thought i looked cute and confident and no it did not occur to me i might like to have a photo of like, a family member or some cool trees or something i just took like 7 years to go huh wait other people don't keep a photograph of themselves on their desks? what do you do when you want to look at yourself go all the way to a mirror??? anyway it wasn't realizing this was unusual that made me stop the photo just got water damage
#rip it genuinely made me so happy bc it was like 10-y-oldish me lounging upside down in a chair#with my hands behind my head just smiling the hugest most smug smile#everything Went Wrong when i was 8 or 9 so maybe i was younger when it was taken? or i was just on an upswing/good day#but tinyme exuded so much confidence in that photo it acted like a coping mechanism trigger object#id look at it and just go 'hell YEAH we're crushing it'. (reader i was not crushing it ever)#anyway just thought of this bc i was thinking abt the shit therapist i saw once b4 i got a better one recently#where i shared i 'found it useful to use npd as a framework to help me manage' i.e 'i self-dxed and i'm right but i'm gonna act#like i could be wrong. also all dxes are bullshit to some degree'#and then like. 5 min later i was explaining some of the things i've already worked on and what i wanted to#and my general mental profile blah blah. and she was like 'um... wow you think a lot about yourself!' and i literally just.#looked at her and then pointed to myself and said 'i mean#narcissism...'#anyway she got fired or smth and the guy i have now is chill. this can count as a life update ig#sunflower radio hour#vic talks#my arms are killing me i should not have typed........... Hubris.

Had a moment today that exemplifies how my family thinks but like, in a way that’s just very sad and makes me glad I don’t think that way.
Showed a relative the amazing painting that friend did for me, and her first response was “you’d be able to sell that for some good money!!!”
Like. No????
For months I’ve discussed this creative trade with this friend, we’ve talked about what the other wants, we’ve gotten excited about it and traded progress pics as we work on it for each other, gotten stoked over making plans to get to the post office and seeing the other finally get it, and it’s just been a very wholesome and very fun project. It took six weeks for us to complete these projects, and now I have something on display in my room that makes me very happy, that’s objectively beautiful, and that I know a friend put a lot of effort into making for me and was THRILLED when I adored it.
And my family’s immediate line of thinking is “make a few quid from it lol”.
I can’t imagine the headspace it must take to go through life like that.
#I mean same relative said something similar when I met Nikki Sixx#very long story short he was my idol growing up his music got me through a lot#got to meet him on MC’s ‘final tour’ in 2015#I was 18 I was so nervous but so thrilled#he was so insanely kind to my teenage self#listened intently when I explained how his music got me through a lot#and how I was setting out to become a writer even tho my fam disapproved#he encouraged me he gave me the pick he used to play that entire gig#he liked our pic together on IG and encouraged me and was INSANELY lovely on FB when I later posted a pic of my tattoo of his autograph#(and if u kno him u kno he gets prickly on social media to folk who deserve it so like)#just went completely above and beyond to encourage me and be so so SO kind#I excitedly tell this same relative about it all#I’m on cloud 9 bc my idol encouraged me to chase my dreams#this same relative got angry at me because I didn’t ask him for tickets to their final ever show in LA#like#this man just proved the saying of never meet your heroes entirely wrong#he repeatedly went out of his way to be kind to me#when all he really had to do was smile and pose for a photo and sign my shit#and she wanted me to then ask him to fly me out to a sold out gig for free#like he would have told me to fuck off and it would’ve ruined the entire thing#bc it’s just such a glaring display of ungratefulness and I’d never be weird enough to ask anyway#and she was LIVID with me insisting ‘you don’t get it you don’t ask!!!!!’#and this was ten years ago and this exchange today just showed me nothing has changed#like how can you just cheapen the value of things like this to make a few quid or to go to a free concert#I couldn’t live that way#and she consistently alienated people from her and can never work out why#it’s honestly just very sad

Me if posting out of context oc lore was a crime
#uhhhhh tap on the photos for better quality bc tumblr hates me#art wip#current wip#y’all 10 hours in and i am *disintegrating*#i was gonna draw txf fanart but then i remembered that I’m bad at drawing fanart so i just went back to drawing my OCs#oc: maria#if anybody asks for and explanation for my oc lore i would be so fucking excited but also explaining the lore would be kinda difficult bc i#don’t have a lot of names for certain important aspects of the story (ex: religion names) so it’ll be kinda hard to explain#but I’ll try my best anyway#my art#cw blood#tw blood#cw eyestrain#<- mostly bc there’s a lot of saturated reds and yellows that might be hard on the eyes#(and also bright oranges)#cw eye contact#<- bc she’s starin’ right at you#tbh i should make her eye bags darker to make her look more haunted#1000 yard stare type shit
