Oh, Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered with blood!’

Fiver is my favorite character in Watership Down, he's just like me fr. I was afraid this wouldn't read especifically as Fiver, but alas... i liked my initial sketch a lot so i kept it as it was.

"Not I," I said, "I love you."

Yet when blood was on your face I knew you not.

"Would you follow me, my child? Even in the dark?"

But when the light blew dim I fled.

You told me of the future, and of a joy to come 

You loved me and you taught me

"I know your heart, my child."

When you were weak and weary where was I to comfort?

When you cried out for the Father I hid my face.

I saw you. I saw your eyes and anguish.

O how it pierced me. How could I abandon you?

"Not I," I said, "I love you." But how could it be true?

I turned and left my lover.

Weak and twisted is the heart that claimed to live for you

How can it be, how can I live? I wish to love you.

Yet it is a dead heart that saw your face among the crowd.

A light flew across the distance. On the wings of your suffering.

O how it pierced me. My eyes have opened.

I don't deserve to be here, to sing and see the dawn

Lord let me live and love you

How I was meant to all along

The global nature of things can be overwhelming because we have the privilege (yes, it’s a good thing even tho it’s not fun) of seeing all the bad every time everywhere, but on the flip side, I genuinely love that when I fixate on some media (tv, movie, book etc etc) and it’s just mediocre… or horrible…or even absolutely perfect… that there’s someone else out there who’s just as obsessed with it for whatever reason and seeing them express that interest leads me to actually weirdly feel immediate gratification with intense mouse-like glee.

All this to say, I think I’m addicted to tumblr y’all.

The weight of the world is a heavy burden

Especially for a child

(Or, in slightly less dramatic terms – I imagine that the first of her past lives that Avatar Suiren [who is the Avatar after Aang instead of Korra in my AU, and also Ghazan and Ming-Hua’s daughter] gets to talk to is Yangchen, because she is too plagued by memories not her own [including Jetsun’s death, fun fact]. And Yangchen wouldn’t want another child to go through what she did on their own)

(Or maybe someone just needed an excuse to draw @katkastrofa’s latest obsession in a context that interests them as well, just in time to maybe cheer her up a little? You can’t prove anything)

Did i ever tell you guys how my grandpa loved my grandma so much he didn't want her to have just an ordinary grave so he -> made a mausoleum. Did the site drainage (he was civil engineer and specialized in reinforced concrete) and it still stands 26 years later and yes its still adorable.

When you really like Astarion and his relationship with your tav so you search him up on TikTok because oh I’m sure people have made good content of h-

The deeper I went into the “Astarion Girlies” (BROTHA EUGH) the more I wanted to dive bomb off a cliff

LIKE WDYM YOU THINK AA AND TAV ARE HEALTHY??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU THINK AA LOVES TAV??? AFTER NON ASCENDED ASTARION LITERALLY TELLS YOU HE ALMOST LOST HIMSELF?? AND WOULDVE IF YOU HADNT CONVINCED HIM NOT TO ASCEND?? The game tells you AA actively thinks you’re disrespecting yourself by being with him?? But it’s fine because maybe that’s what you want. You’re quite literally disregarding his ENTIRE story- you objectified him SO MUCH YOU TURNED YOURSELF INTO AN OBJECT.

Finally finished sweet tooth s3. Having incredibly mixed feelings

[palebloodcvrse]

I cannot be normal about liking characters

Vergil I feel like is suspended in that permanent state of being at war with his need to connect with others (his family) and his need to isolate himself to prevent himself from being hurt again

And i feel that so deep in my soul that its not even fucking funny. Vergil is way more than just his trauma I know,(evidently, even the story presents that he had to overcome it to change and grow as a person) but those feelings are a part of him and a part of what made him human

And he despised that part of himself so much because he feared ever being hurt again and did inexcusable things (same as fuck)

Every day I think about him my heart fucking bleeds, and I find all those memes dissing him and calling him dense for it (bc he was) both extremely funny and true but also so tragically close to home that it feels like self deprication to laugh at.

I think I need to go to therapy instead of crying over fictional men

I hate to be more emo than V(ergil) is and ik this is corny but goddamnit I can see the pain in his fucking eyes

I do not idolize him. He is a reflection of me and it made me confront a part of myself that I wish I never had to achknowledge.

My cat: HUMAN! The sun once again bathes our OUTSIDE DOMAIN. Therefore it is time for us to venture outside! I remembered the PATTERN! Are you not proud of me? HUMAN! Why are you ignoring me! Can't you see! The time for our daily visit to the OUTSIDE DOMAIN has come once again! Why do you keep telling me to shut up? HUMAN! THE PATTERN! The time has come once again! DON'T YOU REMEMBER THE PATTERN? We visited the OUTSIDE DOMAIN yesterday, as well as the day before that. THAT IS A PATTERN! Therefore, now visits to the OUTSIDE DOMAIN must always be a part of our DAILY ROUTINE. Why can't you understand this! HUMAN! THE SUN IS SHINING UPON OUR OUTSIDE DOMAIN AWAITING OUR VISIT! STOP DISRESPECTING THE PATTERN! HUMAN!

ok i have to make my own longwinded post about this song because it makes me so incredibly sad and i NEED to get my thoughts out somewhere

just. just the intro alone is crazy. the fact that he is either sobbing or on the verge of tears the whole time. the fact that he's so emotional that he can't even finish some of the lines. the fact that right after saying the last "it's time" he is so overwhelmed that you can literally hear him get out of his chair and leave the room

the sob turning into a laugh that starts verse 1 makes me feel like my heart is being torn to shreds. jesus fucking christ. i personally think "being human" in the context of this song means being emotionally vulnerable with a partner/friend/etc, like letting your "ugly" side show a little bit. with that interpretation, this first lyric of verse 1 is one of the saddest things i've ever heard:

like. man. yeah i've been there. this lyric coupled with the laugh right before REALLY hurts, it feels like he's saying "god, i'm so stupid for getting myself hurt like this, it's actually funny"

that's not the saddest part of the song to me though. i think what's even sadder to me is the bridge:

this bridge really reminds me of verse 3 of fantasyworld, in that it's a point in the song where the singer (the ghost pov character in imdthy/actual quad in scrapyard) makes the objectively wrong decision (suicide in fantasyworld and not "being human" in this song)... and it's also the part of the song where they sound the happiest. i think what makes both of these songs hurt so much (at least for me) is that they know they're making the wrong choice, but they've been hurt so bad that it feels like they've run out of options, and the idea of not having to try anymore becomes a comfort. fantasyworld's "i won't have to suffer anymore if i'm dead" and utttwuh's "no one can hurt me based on my true self if they never see it". for utttwuh in particular, it's heartbreaking hearing him basically say "it was nice while it lasted :-)" over something that doesn't have to end. i need to go lie face down on the floor

i also think it's interesting where quad put this in the mixtape. despite being his "scrapyard" for songs that didn't fit on anything else, it's obviously deliberately sequenced- if it wasn't, then he would've just put them in the order the packs were released in. him putting a song that is (in my interpretation) about deciding to hide your true self right after a song called "being yourself" is not a fucking accident. when i hear them back-to-back i imagine this song as a response to being yourself's chorus, like "i can't be myself, this is why". but obviously there's a whole litany of reasons as to why he could've put them next to each other. also this is admittedly a stretch but the sort of "ramping up" that you hear in the instrumentals of both songs (starting at 2:27 in being yourself and 3:30 in utttwuh) feel really similar and makes them seem connected to me

tl;dr every time i listen to this song i feel like this

everytime I think about a way to reader to know all the drivers it's always nepobaby (daughter of a ex driver? been around the paddock since she was a kid), friend of a friend or celeb

that's literally the only ways into that circle

right?? no way a "normal" person would know them all 🥲🥲 ooo i rlly like nepobaby fics too, it can give a much like deeper vibe to the story & it's easy to be like "i wanna go in my father's footsteps", and as you say if the reader has been around the paddock since she was a kid then she'll know a lot of ppl and that makes it easier to write. i wanna write more friend of a friend fics, and also more where the reader is a celeb of some kind because those are both interesting ones i think :) idk i guess i just usually don't specify how the driver and reader know each other?…

i love driver!reader aus both because i just love imagining myself being one lol and because it gives me a reason for the reader to be at the track and around the teams every race weekend. and they usually have a reason to befriend or at least talk to other drivers, like in comparison to just being a friend of a friend. the only problem i have with writing them is that i tend to want to include some of the actual racing, and i just can't describe racing in a fictional way that sounds good 😭 like i have a liam fic in my drafts where i tried to write about five sentences of the racing itself and it was so hard lol. but idk i'm leaning towards making the paul & ollie fic driver!reader anyway…..
