i love them 𖹭

out of all my oc's it's these that i return to the most and derive the most comfort from, and their lore is ever building and evolving. a couple of years ago i ran the thought of how my cannibal bbs would be around valentine's day by tcalm_lay and that above piece is the end result of that slightly panicked lore dump.

that slightly panicked lore dump being: "So. Valentine's Day. There's hearts everywhere and on everything and people are giving them to each other, right? Tl;dr Yūmei doesn't understand any of it really. But sees it, gets the baseline jist that it's something sweet. So they go and get an actual heart, and present it to Lyssa - still bloody, may as well still be warm." because the whole thought of "monster doesn't understand but they're trying their best" has my whole heart every time and slapping that onto my cannibal bb just works.

and here we are now with so much having evolved but there's still things that simply remain the same. boisu - the sentient mouth at the back of yūmei's neck - has been given the ability to separate into their own body and the primal aspects remain. onesmolhurt graciously taking the request to have the sweet bb echoing what had been done years ago now that they can experience it without having to entirely share the experience.

there's years of lore and love that's been poured into these hellions, and there's a handful of people who know most of it because i'm still hesitant to share actual lore outside of those close circles but there we go.

I need to hear more about sondad anakin and obi-wan trying to get his padawan to parent him 👀👀👀

LFMAO there’s so much to this

Ok so there’s a scene in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia where Mac gets upset because their old pedo gym teacher tried to molest his other friends when they were kids but not him and starts worrying it’s because he wasn’t special or cute enough. And this is literally like the closest thing I can compare to the complex Rogue Planet/Jedi Apprentice/Jedi Quest continuity Obi-Wan has lfmao

This legends continuity of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s relationship is like deeply fucked in a sadly funny way because Qui-Gon is the most self centered neglectful narcissist on the planet who literally doesn’t give a single fuck about Obi-Wan at all and constantly tries to drop him. Obi-Wan as a kid wasn’t good enough to be a Jedi so was sent to work on a farm and then BEGGED Qui-Gon to take him on, meanwhile Qui-Gon only mentored and cares about Extra Special Boys and Obi-Wan was Very Unspecial to him. And all of Obi-Wan’s behavior in Jedi Apprentice is basically just him trying to appease and get approval from a guy who dgaf about him. In trying to be an Ideal Jedi Obi-Wan only further makes Qui-Gon not like him which just creates a really weird dynamic and Qui-Gon tries to ditch Obi wan like on 3 separate occasions

So basically a lot of Obi-Wan’s behavior is always from a place of seeking this fatherly/mentor approval that was only given sparingly. He’s always like. Trying to be the best Jedi ever best most adoptable dog at the pound and it never pays off because 1) Qui-Gon doesn’t like loyal dogs and 2) before he could ever be good enough to get Knighted (Qui-Gon didn’t pass him for his his first knighting ceremony he failed it which is why he was a padawan at 25) He DIES!! And also knows that there was another Special Boy lined up.

Anyways I’ve talked a lot on here about his orthodoxy but in this sense I’ve always read it as what he falls back on (at this age) because of personal insecurity and a sudden lack of potential affirmation and order that he sought in Qui-Gon— he never got the confirmation that his way of being a Jedi was ever good enough, so he cares a lot about being the platonic ideal of a good Jedi and is intent on making anakin into that too. But he still yearns for that affirmation or whatever

Anyways this is all leading up to say that a lot of his interactions with Anakin at this stage are sort of projecting this and also sort of getting frustrated that this Special Boy who is supposed to be THE chosen one, the ultimate Jedi savior, is behaving in a very un-Jedi way. He is a priest getting frustrated that Jesus doesn’t know the Catholic Mass. Like he spends a lot of time looking for Jedi guidance in Anakin’s inherent existence the way he sought guidance in Qui-Gon, and is sort of similarly coming up short because Anakin is a baby who wants to play toys.

Not to oedipize it too much too but in Rogue Planet Obi-Wan specifically deep (very distinctly non-parental and VERY weird) love for Anakin really early and is really almost obsessively admires how powerful he is, but in JQ starts to become more critical of his inability to embody the Jedi teachings (ergo teach Obi-Wan how he’s supposed to be a good Jedi) and it REALLY REALLY feels like a kid who idolizes the their father starting to come down when they realize their father isn’t necessarily as perfect as they thought.

But like Obi-Wan’s own withholding nature makes Anakin seem his approval especially as a kid and so. Like. It’s this weird circular messy thing where they both want each other’s approval and affirmation but don’t get it. They’re both like please parent me! And then best I can offer you is brotherwife husbandson

And like!! It’s so weird!! IT’S SO WEIRD!! Anyways the most receptive Obi-Wan ever is to Anakin is when he gets “go to your room young man”d by him

that one its always sunny in philadelphia scene but its just vaguely from memory

[ID: Scene from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where Dennis was explaining his pick up artist technique. Dennis is replaced with Columbo and his method is listed behind him as "C - complimemt suspect O - offer support L - look around U - under dress M - mention relative B - be hyper vigilant O - one more thing"]

[hugedwarflover]

My first drawing for this year, and it's a reference to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which is one of the best, if not THE best sitcom of all time in my opinion. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it because it's hilarious and all the actors are phenomenal. My AU based off of the show is where Bashful is Charlie Kelly. The Pepe Silvia meme was the first meme I ever saw for Always Sunny before I started watching the show. I thought about drawing Bashful wearing the shirt and tie that Charlie wears in this scene, but then I decided not to. I do plan on redrawing many moments from Always Sunny. I want to make many drawings of Grumpy and Doc as Mac and Dennis, my favorite cartoon ship as my favorite live-action ship.

Top 10 WORST Movies of 2023

For every good movie there’s always a dozen stinkers, and 2023 brought out a lot of turkeys, and I’m not referring to all the poor birds that ended up in our bellies this Christmas season. It’s become a tradition for me every year to do a top 10 best and worst movies of the year list, and I tend to leave the top 10 best list till later as I catch up will the awards potentials, however with the bad list I get right on into it. There are of course many bad movies this year I didn’t see, as I don’t actively seek out to watch the bad ones, but I have heard that these following haven’t been the best: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, The Marvels, Indiana Jones 5, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, Expend4bles, Children of the Corn, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey…… damn, a lot of films got a bad rep this year. Yet I have 10 other ones that I’ve seen that I thought were crap. Don’t worry if a film you loved ends up on this list, it will simply mean your opinion is wrong and your have to live with that. With that in mind, here’s my humble list of the shit-fest Hollywood had to offer in 2023…

10) ANT-MAN & THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA - Everything that is wrong with the current state of Marvel is exhibited on full display here. Lacking a sense of direction and exploiting the idea of the multiverse just for the sake of it, the movie is a dud. It feels like whilst trying to focus on going bigger and bolder, the movie lost the sense of fun that elevated the earlier instalments in the tiny hero’s franchise. Paul Rudd is still as charming and likeable as ever, however the introduction of Kang as the next MCU Big Bad is pointless seeing as this big baddie can be defeated by a bunch of ants. Don’t make no difference now anyway with Jonathan Majors losing the court case, but who in the first place thought “oh yeah, Kang is a badass who killed many Avengers, but a giant head of Corey Stoll should weaken him no problem”. Look, there’s no sugarcoating it - this movie is bad. Also, Bill Murray appears in this because…?

9) THE BEANIE BUBBLE - Zack Galifianakis without any facial hair is truly a sight to behold, but that’s not enough to make this fluffy yet bland behind-the-scenes look at the famous Beanie Babies toys even remotely interesting. It’s as if this film can’t bear (thank you) to show the creepier side of these toys, as this should have been a more darker and messed up tale, especially with the lightly implied institutional sexism. Oh well, that’s that then.

8) WE HAVE A GHOST - If ever there was a movie that fit more to the phrase “Netflix & Chill�� then this is it, as you will be too busy banging your partner or your sock than caring about a silent speechless David Harbour creeping about Casper-like and being all quiet and mysterious. To be fair he’s the only redeemable quality as the rest of the movie is a mishmash hodgepodge of genres that is neither funny, nor effective in its family drama dynamic. At least seeing Jennifer Coolidge jump out a window was mildly amusing. Mildly. Anyway, where’s that sock?

7) THE OLD WAY - It is truly fascinating that after starring in over 100 films, this is Nicolas Cage’s first ever western. Aside from that mind boggling revelation, this movie comes out with less than a bang. I don’t know, I was hoping for something a bit more mad, especially with Cage’s involvement. Heck, in the movie’s opening sequence Nicolas Cage is introduced with a sprawling Poirot-like moustache, and immediately I assumed that I am in for something ridiculous. However following that scene the movie cuts to 20 years later, and with that both the moustache and the hope for something exciting or weird is diminished to singular unseen atoms.

6) FOOL’S PARADISE - The directorial debut from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Charlie Day (who also writes and stars), misfiring Hollywood satire Fool’s Paradise wastes a strong ensemble cast that also includes Adrien Brody, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Kate Beckinsale, Ken Jeong, Common, John Malkovich and the late Ray Liotta. Look, in a way I feel bad about including this film on this list, as you can tell this is a true passion project for Day and one that has good intentions by attempting to go back to the old-school slapstick Charlie Chaplin-era of comedy, with a lighthearted satire on the way the film industry works. In this case the result is neither sweet nor funny enough, and as such it’s an unfortunate misfire, but easily the most disappointing inclusion on this list.

5) GHOSTED - Adrien Brody’s crappy French accent in this movie I could have forgiven, if only I have not seen John Wick: Chapter 4 a couple of weeks prior where I experienced the most delightful Parisian mouthing of Bill Skarsgard’s villain, so now Brody’s French-ish slur sticks out like a sore thumb. What else sticks out is that Ghosted feels like a film from the early 2000s, featuring every cliche of the genre and with a romantic pairing of Chris Evans and Ana de Armas whom share zero chemistry. Their kissing scenes reminded me of that Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone SNL sketch where they don’t know how to kiss on camera, only in this case it’s unintentional. Also featuring a slew of pointless cameos, and I do mean pointless, this is a throwaway campy spy-action flick that is destined to be forgotten.

4) THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER - Billed as the true sequel to William Friedkin’s original horror masterpiece, it really shouldn’t have strived for that. Ellen Burstyn’s return is a waste. For those excited to see her, she’s only in 3 or 4 scenes total, and the creative choices made with her character are such a disservice to the original movie. Without spoiling, it’s a choice that seems to be inspired by the modern woke culture, with Burstyn’s Chris having being studying the art of exorcism ever since the events that transpired with her daughter, and then when questioned about why she herself did not partake in her daughter’s exorcism she blames the patriarchy. The choice of bringing her into this narrative and then what happens to her…it’s basically taking a classic character and making them dumb. I must say though that the only actual shocking moment in the movie comes in a scene involving her character, and though that moment itself is memorable, the build up towards it is so stupid. Also, with the return of Burstyn it comes as no surprise within the movie when a certain other character pops in for a cameo. Does it add anything to the movie’s story? No, it’s just there for cheap fan service. As for the movie itself, the horror hardly works. It’s not scary at all and you really shouldn’t believe in this one.

3) THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE - Yeah, I know, my inclusion of this film on the list will rattle some feathers, but I don’t care, as for any of you pricks out there thinking that stupid “Peaches” song deserves an Academy Award nomination, you guys are stupid and must be high on some very powerful shrooms. If so, I hope you’re having a great trip, but the fact stands that this movie is bad. Simply doing fan service for the sake of fan service don’t make for a good narrative. Me and my friend were bored throughout, as this movie is 100% for kids. There are nostalgic elements to it all, but I do believe that Illumination and Nintendo should have followed more in The Lego Movie’s footsteps and targeted the film for audiences of all ages, due to the fact that many who grew up with Mario are now adults themselves.

2) LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND - So much wasted potential. A long drawn-out slow shuffle to Nowheresville. A movie that offers so many ideas, plot points, and thread lines that are never answered or go anywhere. In Leave the World Behind things are truly happening under the motto “just because” and “why the hell not” and it makes the viewing experience immensely frustrating. Especially when the movie is nearly 2 and a half hours long and the anticlimactic abrupt ending is a slap to your face for wasting your time. Oh, and if I weren’t a fan of the Friends show before, now more so than ever.

1) 65 - Right ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to ask you all so kindly to rise up from your seats and give a humongous round of applause to 65 - the 2023 film to exhibit qualities of a top contender of the worst movie of this year. Look, I’m disappointed as you are. Adam Driver fighting dino-dinos’?! You’d be a madman to not want to see that! However here’s 65′s first mistake: there actually aren’t that many dinosaurs, let alone fights with them. I know right, I can sense the resounding aura of you, my kind audience, in unison thinking “what the f***?”. Exactly, what the fudge indeed. No, instead what we get is a couple of somewhat thrilling dinosaurs interactions, but overall the movie is just Adam Driver and this little girl walking. Just walking. Walking and whistling. Bunch of jackasses.

That’s it - we did it! Now I can happily forget I ever watched any of these and mentally prepare for what wonders of stupidity 2024 will bring to the big screen. As for my Best Movies of 2023 list, don’t worry, it’s a-coming. Still need to watch The Boy and the Heron and Poor Things and then all will be revealed…

[ID: A redraw of the "let's talk about the mail" scene from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Sonder, a person with pale skin, short brown curly hair, blue eyes, and glasses, is glaring angrily at another person, mostly offscreen, and holding up one hand while another one rests on a conspiracy board behind her. The conspiracy board involves a picture of the Coin from Blaseball labeled "this bitch", a picture of a bunch of the suns from Blaseball, a logo of the sun with a blue arrow through it labeled "bad? KILL", the Welcome to Desert Bluffs logo, a picture of the Dawn Machine from Fallen London, a large piece of paper just reading "the sun the sun the sun" over and over, a piece of paper with a dollar sign on it and a smaller piece of paper below it reading "capitalism (BAD)", and many other pieces of paper with writing on them, including one with "destroya destroya against the sun we're the enemy," "the sun goes out when god explodes (harrow the ninth)," "god??", and a few pieces that are partially covered but appear to read "killed," "bastard," "i'm so cold," and simply "the sun". All of these are connected by red strings. Captions at the bottom read "Let's talk about the sun. Can we talk about the sun? I've been dying to talk about the sun." End ID.]

my mood recently and also constantly forever

[dennisboobs]

something that makes me absolutely fucking insane is how dennis is always happy, open, and affectionate when he's high; huffing gasoline with dee and mac, turpentine while watching charlie dance, and... when dee poisons him at the end of the iasip book.

it's like whenever he's not in full control of his body, his default state is to be content and unguarded, and even though this book was written several years before the ireland eps, this is true to how dennis truly feels about frank, insert reference to dennis' Big Feelings here but it's clear he does genuinely love his friends and family, and i think it goes beyond him just being a happy drunk or it being an effect of whatever he's taken. it's like... dennis' essence in its purest state, because even with the few glimpses you might get when he's sober, he's almost never THAT candid, he always has emotional walls up unless he's got a substance to break them down for a short while

[r3dlif3]

deidara and sasoris dynamic to me is that one scene from its always sunny in philadelphia where dee and dennis are in a psychiatrists office (i forgot why) and dee says she might be schizophrenic and dennis tells her to shut up or he'll add her to his collection of things and dee questions him having a collection of dead people whilst looking horrified. Dennis then goes on to ramble how he'd kill her and add her to it in various different ways. He then faces the psychiatrist asking him where they were and in the next scene he walks out the office diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

Sasori is dennis in this situation and Deidara is dee.

[musiclover2732]

so yesterday morning i was stressing myself out thinking about Dennis and i was planning to watch my season four dvd and get my thoughts together but i figured since i was already kinda worked up about it i should do something to calm down first so i watched a Let’s Play and that didn’t do much so then i put on the disney channel and watched a few episodes of Bluey (don’t judge me) and then this other show Kiff came on and i figured hey why not cuz the title character is voiced by Lena’s VA from the 2017 Ducktales and it was all going well until the second episode cuz Kiff was trying to get her friend’s paintings into an art gallery so she put on a wig and does an accent while pretending to be an art collector and the first thing she does is walk thru the gallery and degrade the stuff there and now while that was innocuous enough on its own she does specifically call one of the pieces “derivative” and at that point i had to rationalize with myself like hey it’s not that weird that there’s a very loose offhanded reference to a scene from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia since that scene is such a popular meme and the show in theory is also very well known and it doesn’t mean shit but ig it just hit the wrong way for me since i was watching children’s cartoons to avoid thinking about Sunny and it’s like of all the episodes they could’ve made a wink to and i actually did end up watching Dee Made A Smut Film yesterday cuz of that since it was on my mind idk i just found the whole thing to be a very interesting coincidence and my reaction was kinda funny since normally when i see things i like referenced in other things i get excited like when i see Jurassic Park references since it’s so mainstream and well known it’s just sort of a fun like oh hey it’s that thing i like but whenever i encounter Sunny references in the wild i just get so alarmed it stops me dead in my tracks cuz it’s always some surface level meme reference so i’m just standing there like They Don’t Know This Scene Is From An Episode Where My Special Little Guy Gets His Trauma Thrown Back In His Face In Front Of Complete Strangers By His Twin Sister

Lort, I have soooo many muses across many blogs; it's vile. I will only comment on Reno since, y'know, I'm filling this out for bitterarcs. In general, I have loved FF7 for a long ass time, and it might have been the second verse I ever wrote in. I like Reno because he reminds me a lot of myself while still being completely different from me. I get to tap into comedy, my macabre interest in violent/dark themes, and I get to really challenge myself to think not like me. Reno is an excellent mixed bag of a lot of compelling elements which prevents me from getting bored writing him . . unlike other muses I have. I was very happy that were was some FF community on tumblr, so naturally I had to pick my favourite character from FF7. Also there weren't many other Renos around, so I was like LET'S DO IT.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

College things ( which certainly does not apply to FF ), anything normal ( like small town librarian in a nothing less plot ), prolonged fight scenes, and casual, happy-go-lucky plots. Sometimes I am in the mood for something lighter, but I usually get over that within the hour. I think happy things are boring for the longevity of a plot. Also smut for the sake of smut when it adds nothing to the plot.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

Violence, gore, high fantasy, supernatural/biblical, historical ( ancient Greece / Rome, pirates, 1860s America ), morality, psychological, fantasy, world building, sad shit, character deaths.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

I either dream of something, get inspired by talking to another writer, random thoughts throughout the day, my own life, just knowing that character for so long.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

Usually I have to have something playing, mostly a show or twitch stream I'm not paying attention to in the background. If it's a long reply/starter or a serious one, then it's all silent.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

For shorter things, I wing it. I plan long replies and starters; I definitely plan long threads with goals of major events and a possible conclusion.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

Not really. Not by tumblr terms anyway. I was used to writing on a site where people only shipped with one other character . . I guess you'd call that exclusive. I do enjoy that on levels I won't get into. Here I feel like people just want to fuck for the sake of it on here. You do you; it's not my thing. I suppose what I described is an intimate ship, and people also describe shipping as more than something romantic/sexual. Depending on muse, I'm game for other relationship dynamics especially those that involve tension or hurt or strong feelings of loyalty.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

Call me whatever the fuck you want honestly.

Pretty Woman, Pretty, Henward, The Pennhurst Guards, and Always Sunny in Philadelphia

This is part of a much larger analysis that I’m still working on regarding the electrocution scene and Henry in the lab in general, but there’s a specific parallel I want to point out right now. Long story short, I think the word “pretty” was used in a creepy way towards Henward in the lab.  So, have you ever seen “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”? Well, whether you have or not, I think the Duffers have. Now, what does this have to do with Henry/Edward Creel? Well, let’s look at a specific, particularly famous Always Sunny scene - the ending scene from the episode called “Frank’s Pretty Woman.” 

In the scene, the song “Pretty Woman,” by Roy Orbison plays while the characters drag the body of a prostitute who Frank Reynolds (the guy played by Danny Devito) had just proposed to, out of Frank and Charlie’s apartment, and down the hall of the apartment complex:

The way that Henry is dragged out of the electrocution room, and down the hallway, immediately reminded me of that Always Sunny “Pretty Woman,” scene:

Frank, just like Brenner, does not drag the body himself- instead, he stands and watches and slowly follows as Mac and Dennis drag the body down the hall, just like Brenner watching the two orderlies drag a barely-conscious (and seemingly eventually unconscious) Henry down the hallway:

So, why add this parallel? As mentioned before, the woman, Roxy, specifically was a prostitute, and therefore it would tie the scene of Henry to another scene which had sexual connotations- and because I think that the word “pretty,” was likely used in a creepy and leering way towards Henry on behalf of the other orderlies when sexually harassing/assaulting him.

To further demonstrate the idea of  “pretty,” being directed at Henry and guards sexually harrassing Henry, let’s take a look at Pennhurst. 

So, the security guard at Pennhurst brings Robin and Nancy down to Victor, where the guard says “Victor, you’ve got visitors- real pretty ones.”

Not only does this tie the word “pretty,” to Henry via his narrative connection to Victor, but also, Victor’s “visitors” are described as “pretty”- and we know that Henry was “visiting” Victor. It’s a subtle tie-in, I know not all Victor’s visitors are “pretty,” but it’s a writing connection nonetheless. They set up the line that Victor’s visitors are “pretty,” and then also went out of their way to set up the fact that Henry was visiting Victor/was one of Victor’s visitors, therefore tying him to the “pretty,” references/making him be referred to as “pretty.” 

TLDR: I’m pretty sure that the lab guards were creepily hitting on (and sexually assaulting, but that’s further explored in the analysis I’m working on) Henward, and I won’t be surprised if we get a flashback to a scene of one of them calling him “pretty,” especially after he’s been castrated/all of the forced sex reassignment/mother stuff we’ve been talking about with Henward today, and the reference to pretty woman, and Henward being seen as a woman by the guards as a result of the surgeries forced upon him.
