fucking hell
Who, if I screamed out, would hear me amongst the hierarchies of angels? And if one suddenly did take me to his heart: I would perish from his stronger existence. For beauty is nothing but the onset of terror we’re still just able to bear, and we admire it so because it calmly disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrifying.
Rainer Maria Rilke, trans. Galway Kinnell and Hannah Liebnell
I have wrestled with the angel and I am stained with light and I have no shame.
Mary Oliver
Did you ever notice how in the bible, when God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like?
Thomas Daggett
How lonely to be something that nothing wants to kill.
Jeremy Radin
I was a winged obsessive, my moonlit feathers were paper. I lived hardly at all among men and women;
I spoke only to angels.
Louise Glück
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid — ”
Luke 1:11-13
#these fucking ruined me#i am ruined#when youre young you think of an angel as a lovely thing with a halo sent from heaven#but to think of one again as i’m older#it is terrifying#stained with light FUCK#the thomas daggett one

being an adult means we can buy or make as much self-indulgent shit (as we can afford) and unironically have trinkets of our fave things cause our teen years was bullied for liking things and hiding/denying we were ever neurodivergent to the point of suicide. sucks for anyone that thinks its weird cringe but I'm going to try and allow myself to love myself in little ways now
#wish i could tell younger me that i wasnt fucked up i was just autistic#even if youre not nd i still think having things you enjoy around you is important especially for your space#so i make a notable effort to get fandom stuff for my younger siblings now#like my lil sister thinks getting demon slayer stuff is cringe cause anime and what not (havent read it sorry)#but her face still lights up when i get her a pin for her#or a blind bag with a character keychain#and very slowly the self hatred and whatever it feels like that youre not allowed to like anything and that anything you like is bad#starts to diminish#my qpp is obsessed with birds and chickens and has so many trinkets around the house for it#or my friend who loves how pretty stained glass looks that his walls are covered in thrifted stain glass pieces#i know an elderly couple who are obsessed with star trek and they have a room in the house purely for shelves stacked with collectables#my friend's dad is so obsessed with spiderman that he has 3 walls full of figurines and posters and collectables that prob amoutn to tons#like i dont get it but i get it#maybe its because im sick rn but im in my head tonight about human loving things and stories and cocepts to the point of comfort#sara shush#ramble

"Hornet is Void" theory, not in any sort of intentional, engineering-your-other-babies or whatever way, but in a "PK had awful policy with Void cross-contamination and it meant that Hornet came out with a handful of VERY conspicuously void-y characteristics that everyone tries to ignore because no one actually knows for sure where they came from and acknowledging them in any formal way could lead t a political shitshow" way.
#we speak#hollow knight#listen theyre not saying that shes *not* void but if anyone acknowledges the void features itll open a can of worms that cant be closed#it was 100% unintentional but people still Gossip#and now the lubricating membrane over her eyes is the pitch black darkness of the abyss#and markings that would otherwise be so subtle as to be invisible are now light-absorbing DARK#she doesnt actually get void powers or anything from it it just means that every time she bleeds it leaves stains on every fucking thing

“I hope I’ll find all the pieces of my mind that fell out of my head over all those years, and that I’ll be able to put myself together again. I hope the echoes of pain will fade, and memories of sorrow will die, and that you’ll visit me here some day…”
“And I hope you have a happy ending of your own.”

My favourite Light death is the one in the anime for a very simple reason on account of I am a very simple person.

complicated relationship with taob be damned i have never peaked higher than i did when i was studying tragedies for my english class and wrote the fever dream chapter
#I WAS WRITING AT LEVELS NEVER BEFORE SEEN. OFF THE CHARTS CUNTISM. TRAGIC LEXICON LEFT RIGHT AND CENTRE#'you scream with your lungs and you pray with your knees. but begging?#begging was in the hands. zuko's were empty. stained sunset red. /look. look at what you did/.'#'white bones charring until zuko remembered hearing of fortune-tellers - how they read the heat-cracks#of oracle bones. zuko wondered what the breaks in his skeleton lamented of. if he could read these scars#would they weep? /look. look at all that red/.'#'/look. cut-neck and red-stained. you wanted this/. the auditorium watched enraptured#whispering into ears. /this is the best part. the anagnorisis/.'#'this was a tale of honour and redemption. the playwright had woven zuko’s hamartia into his every action#doomed from the beginning. /you always thought it was anger that would damn you#that patronymic fury that snarls in your chest/. the director was grinning. /it is not. your fatal flaw has always been shame/.'#'redemption comes with the price of regret but you don't regret. you don't regret any of it'#'A GOOD TRAGEDY NEEDS A SCAPEGOAT; A TRAGIC HERO.

THE THING WITH THEATRE IS THAT YOU PLACE A CHARACTER ONTO A STAGE WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE HIM#AND YOU SHINE LIGHTS ON HIM TO ILLUMINATE EVERY ANGLE AND YOU MAKE HIM SAY THINGS THAT RESONATE. A TRAGEDY IS JUST A DECLARATION#/LOOK. LOOK AT ALL IVE DONE AND GIVE ME REDEMPTION REGARDLESS. LOOK AT EVERY FLAW. TAKE ME AS YOUR ANTI-HERO. FORGIVE ME ANYWAY/#IT WAS ABOUT BEING SEEN.

*howling like a great wind through a canyon, it engulfs your mind, drowns your senses. Above the howl rises a screech, gleeful and maniacal. It is the way and the truth. Absolute.*
The Emperor: Leave - them - alone.
*the screech quiets, the howl fades. Your mind is hollow, save for one lone voice.*
The Emperor: Bane's Chosen has fallen - his Netherstone is yours. You have done well.
Xa'rok: I heard the Absolute scream.
The Emperor: You heard the Elder Brain. It's regaining its autonomy. It cries not from pain, but exaltation. We must stop it, before it breaks free.
The Emperor: One Netherstone remains - Orin's. We must find her and take it from her. After that, we take control of the Brain. You should start wondering what you will do then.
Xa'rok: I'll decide once we get there.
The Emperor: ...sometimes, you surprise me with your wisdom.
#this scene is so fun#rip disabling subs to maximize ps5 screen real estate so none of the text is in these gifs#the emperor bg3#bg3#githyanki tav#my tavs#tav: xa'rok#my gifs#look at my guy (gn)#!!!#in order to get this btw you need to take out gortash before orin#then the brain starts acting up and Emp tells it to fuck off. very fun for me personally#technically xa'rok's first answer was 'I'll put an end to it' but I waffled on the 'I'll figure it out' choice and I like that response mor#also rare not carrying the sword of screams moment for xa'rok#but ever since I realized the guardian's sword has the same model as the shortsword of first blood I've put that blade in rotation#for xa'rok to carry#fun (awful) to think about if the guardian's blade also IS the shortsword of first blood#whose description states: 'a golden blade - exquisitely made and astonishingly sharp'#and that deals more damage to enemies who haven't been injured yet#so if you're stabbing the guardian with it.... ough#xa'rok has since ditched the circlet of psionic revenge for balduran's helm for that sweet hp bonus + narrative irony#but I do miss the circlet and it looks good on them#also annoyed what tumblr and the gif program did to the coloring because in the actual video#xa'rok is bathed in colored light from the stained glass windows and looks so so cool

I wound up splashing muck all over my favorite shoes today, these bright yellow converse I haven't had for more than a month. It didn't wash out at first. I've emptied three tide pens into this shoe and I'm gonna try washing it again, but... Fuck, man, I don't want to have to replace them this fast.
#i mean. i technically CAN if i HAVE TO but. i fucking love these shoes.#maybe i can paint over the stains if i get them light enough but what the hell do i even paint on a yellow canvas to cover green-black mud#empress vents#i know this sounds really stupid but i have wanted a pair of chucks like this since i was a little kid#if i lose these shoes i am gonna be so upset

The thing about bbc merlin is that the dynamic that's set up between merlin and arthur is so fucking good that I can't even. What can I possibly draw that's gonna encapsulate the feelings between them?
#its so fucking good. especially when u set it up like#arthur is so so afraid of losing this one person who is is true friend. i cant lose merlin i cant lose merlin#but im too much of a bro to tell him that but also i will give him hair ruffles and light bullying bc i want to touch him#he is my little dweeb who i love. and merlin is just. i mean. hes just merlin. would protect arthur no matter what#my man would and has killed so so many ppl for his king lmao#also arthur kneeling for merlin. just. ya kno. i think thats good. good good good.#ugh but i also want stained glass and weird fucked up religious themes.#ugh. and now im just spiralling bc i dont kno what to draw 1st. god!#im distracting myself from being upset abt another thing. ill think abt that thing later. draw now. while i have thr fucking time#merliiiin DX but also i have so much to color DDXXXX#merlin rambling#see. this is what i fucking do. i have to come up with thr fucking perfect idea. and then i just never do anything bc its not perfect#its dysfunctional. stop that

it's like. okay. so imagine there's this guy who is like, indelibly written on your soul, to the degree that you can fill in the missing pieces of him because you are That attuned to him and who he is (to you, anyway; and to you he's just so big and beautiful and touched at every edge by your awe and respect and care for him)
and then you die (your last words are apologizing to him) and leave a letter behind (you tell him you love him) and he comes for you but you aren't you anymore; there's nothing of Who You Were in the vessel you are now
but. but! he's indelibly written on your soul. and no degree of forging or reforging can remove him completely. and when he comes for you you understand that as a desire to keep him here. but he can't because he swore to your god that he'd bring you back. and you'll have to kill him to stop him from leaving here with your soul
so. okay. he won't stay with you. you have to kill him.
so you will.
#he got SO CLOSE#daichi knowing all of zaref's weaknesses and being able to use them is so *chef's kiss*#those are my fucking GUYS#and zaref being so ANGRY at him! yeah go off!!!!!!#OUGH!!!!!!!#r: light through stained glass#voidhopping campaign#abyss daichi

May's Strip Game Part 6
[> Ask about the Lights] "The lights?" he queries. It is nearly a mockery of your own tone. "My, the Beth is an old dear I'm afraid. It's rather prone to structural issues. What with all the bills stacking up, it's rather hard to keep the lights on, I'm afraid. Sometimes half of the building will simply go out! Now, sit back, and continue to enjoy the show, won't you?" When did the votes begin to pour in so quickly? When were the Attendants able to count so rapidly? Shoes next. Did you vote for that? You're certain you.must have. It is difficult to remember the number you wrote down on your paper. Two? No, layer two has been removed a while ago. Your opinion seem to be making up more and more of the vote. Perhaps you and your fellow votes are simply more in tune. A chair has been brought out for the Merry Gentleman. He rests his cane beside it, and begins to work on his laces. Two shoes, two laces, undone nicely and neatly. A pair, but separate. How odd it would be for him to wear only one, and not the other. He sets them aside, then swings sideways in his chair. The mirrors flicked behind him. It's rather improper posture, but my does it afford you a nice view of his thighs. There are gasps, there are whimpers.
There is a brush against your back. A hand? Wider than your own. It is gone quickly. "Yes yes, let's get on with the voting."
{<<<Part One} {<Part Five} {Part Seven>}
