the mighty nein - critical role

this is a place where i don't feel alone. this is a place where i feel at home.

I feel like Tumblr has pulled a bit of Dracula Daily in that everyone is going back and watching Fox 2004-2012 drama House MD, at the same time. House, a show which was never, as far i remember early Tumblr, a major part of the fandom ecosystem when it aired

like if you put a gun to my head in 2013 and asked me which 2000's Sherlock Holmes adaptation would have a sincere heartfelt revival on tumblr in 2023, I would have been shot in the head for answering BBC Sherlock

"Jump! For fuck's sake, Louis, jump!" Louis looks down curiously at the ground and notices that the backpack is gone. The grass appears greener than it did before; a minute ago there were streetlights in front of him - why is there no light now? His brows furrow. “Is there a blackout tonight?” He starts coughing uncontrollably as if water has flooded his lungs. He brings his hands around his neck, feeling like he cannot talk nor scream for help – he can’t breathe. “Louis, jump!” And he can’t see, feel or hear anything, but trusts the voice.  He jumps. Then it’s just cold and dark. ________________________________________ Or: the Renaissance AU where Harry is a philosopher, whose thoughts happen five centuries too soon and Louis is a painter, whose art happens five centuries too late. & Or: the Time Travel AU where alternate versions of themselves live simultaneously in different realities and their paths collide every time, until somehow, they converge into one.

Todo es temporal, menos la forma en que hacemos sentir a las personas... Eso es siempre.

“You fill yourself with the gift of time—the ticking of moments, the time you spent, the fact that you were always called a late bloomer. What is late? You are always on time.”

— Brennan Lee Mulligan, “Dimension 20: The Seven”

Thinking about the episode where Dipper and Mabel went back in time and ran into kid-Wendy, who thought Dipper was cute, and it was kind of this "wow" moment for him. Now I can't stop imagining a scenario in the familiar au where a married, up-and-coming demon hunter Dipper Pines, along with Bill, have to go back in time for whatever reason to about when he was 12. He figures they should keep a low profile if they want to return to their timeline unchanged, but they end up bumping into Dipper's younger self, back when he was first dropped off and all noodle armed and couldn't really defend himself against the town bullies. Almost as if on cue, a group of kids come up on young Dipper and try to pick on him, only for adult Dipper to ward them away. Older Dipper still considering himself kind of a massive loser with a lot to learn, but his younger self just looks at this strange new-comer and thinks he's SO COOL🤩🤩🤩!!! And maybe follows him around a bit in admiration, silently saying stuff about wishing he were "that strong," or "that smart," or "ever a little cool." And Dipper has that same "wow" moment, but for an entirely different reason. Maybe he did grow up to be everything he wanted to be as a kid, and maybe even the kid version of him wasn't a loser to begin with; people were just serious jerks.

(Bonus points if Stan definitely knows who this flame-wielding stranger that just blew into town is, and seeing how Dipper's grown and matured puts him at ease and makes him more confident that maybe he can raise the twins on his own. Look at the kid go. He did something right.)

Anon, why must you tempt me with new ideas when I have so many WIPs

This lovely letter is to temporal-discounting, who is always sharing so much love for the show and the fandom, whether it's through her own posts or her tags. I was scrolling through her blog a bit before sending this in and I was smiling the whole time. There's so much positivity and support there. That's what fandom's all about. Thank you for being here. 💖

Hi @temporal-discounting! You've received a lovely letter. 💌

honestly one of the most painful things to see as a religious person is for someone who left your faith to explain why, and its because they misunderstood a major tenet of the belief (or had it misrepresented to them).

like most of the time there's not really anything you can do to help them see it differently or undo all the trauma that the misunderstanding caused, and that sucks. especially when the ex-believer then uses it as proof for why your belief is bad.

i'm supposed to be writing about tragedy but that moment in iliad 22 when andromache sees hector dead and tears off the veil "which golden aphrodite gave her on that day when shining-helmed hector led her from the house of eetion after bringing countless bride-gifts"? that veil? was sappho fr 44.

These tumblr ads are getting so fucking funny

[uncanny-tranny]

One of the reasons I think it's so important to foster intellectual curiosity and, ultimately, learning and a love for learning is how it subtly changes the very way you interact with and understand the world around you.

It's funny, because I spent time just to hunt and find a skull in Skyrim just so I could rotate it in my inventory and admire how detailed it was for five minutes, pleased about how I could point out and name individual bones (they even included the individual cranial sutures! Including my favourite suture (lambdoid suture)). I'm now trying to hunt for a skeleton so I can spend even more time admiring it. There's something funny and empowering about how the way I interact with things has changed with my learning.

If there is nothing else you do, learn. It doesn't matter what you learn, just seek out information. I know for some, a love of learning was almost punished in environments like school, so start out with things you are inspired by, things that deeply pique your interest. Learning isn't a punishment, it doesn't have to be scary. Whatever you want to learn about is worth the time and effort it takes to understand it.
