#the curse of talent

Talented but arrogant,
perfect and a show-off,
dominates the stage every time they show up.
is one my favorite kind of whumpees ever; when something went wrong a long, long time ago and they've been trying to hide it.
All the subtle cues that something is wrong - disappearing randomly for a few minutes, strange responses to everyday things, bruises appearing out of nowhere, >>>>things they always did that looked like childish swagger but actually it was for different reasons<<<<
There whumpee stays nonchalant and sticks their chin high up in the air while important things are given up, they're worn and tired, and the insides of their life turns into an absolute mess, yet things just keep getting worse and worse
And everything slowly swings out of control and whumpee is desperately trying to pull themselves back together and despite caretaker begging them to let it go - arrogant, stubborn whumpee refuses
So when everything finally falls apart in the worst way possible - when they faint in the middle of their job performance, when they crack and start shouting, when they're caught coughing blood on national TV, when voice recordings of their torment get sent to their family and friends
my god it's perfect
#the gap!!#the gap is the point#the gap between what whumpee shows and what whumpee is going through#and the gap between whumpee's usual attitude and their tired vulnerable scared face that doesn't doesn't doesn't belong to *that* face#and the gap between when one looks at whumpee before and after they figure out the facade - were their shoulders always that low? didn't th#y smile a lot more?#beauty#beautiful#whump#whumpee#whump prompts#whump idea#whump prompt#whump ideas#caretaker#whump trope#whump tropes#emotional whump#psychological whump#the curse of talent#famous whumpee

A guy who just wake up from a coma -> what did i miss?
Pomefiore was the last plot i follow before real life made me forget about our silly boys. How bad has the plot become now for our gang? Also who is that Gojo looking guy?
anon, I am so sorry and I mean this in the best way, but I do think episode 5 is the absolute funniest place to have stopped following Twst because shit starts escalating SO fast after that. episode 6 literally starts with a secret government shadow agency breaking down our doors and kidnapping students. zero to a million instantly.
and like...that's not even the zaniest thing so far? Ortho's hacked into the collective human unconscious. there's time travel (sort of). "Crowley might be Malleus' long-lost father" is a serious theory. if you'd told me any of this back pre-episode 6, I would have asked for the link to this unbelievable but highly intriguing fanfic.
also, episode 7 gave us (and then immediately took away 😔) the best character in the whole story:
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#there are better and very comprehensive summaries out there so i'm not gonna get into it with any seriousness#(genuinely a LOT has happened)#but let's recap very quickly#episodes 1-5: our friends' RA is a huge asshole! jack's sports idol is trying to cheat at the big game! who will win the talent show!#i sure hope no one turns into a monster and tries to kill us!#episode 6: a shadowy government organization has stolen our friends (and cat) to experiment on#idia throws himself into hell and then tries to destroy the world. we punch ortho so hard he grows a soul.#episode 7: malleus has an existential crisis and traps everyone in an eternal dreamworld#extended diasomnia backstory flashbacks reveal that silver is a cursed prince and lilia wanted to be the filling in a royal sandwich#somehow sebek is the most normal character and that's the real twist right there#every new chapter is its own wild fever dream and i'm so here for it#as for this gojo fellow#i had to google him because i am unfamiliar. but i believe you are referring to our dear friend scully (skully?) j graves#from that time we got sucked into a magic book (again) and then he got mad at us for being fake halloween fans#also he wouldn't stop kissing our hand. who says there's no smooches in twst.

are you guys seeing this shit
#ouoohgh the parallels#like they knew right#they knew from the start these two are just the same guy ideologically speaking#because they ARE the same guy#just one got assigned a talent and the other didnt#and guess what#the guy who got the talent still doesnt think he is talented enough and resents himself#becoming a mouthpiece for the academy's harmful ideology#because its still the only worth he sees in himself#and its also the coping mechanism to him being cursed by god#which is also attributed to his talent!#vs#the guy that literally did sell himself body and soul for the academy#in order to achieve a talent#and the monkey finger curled inwards#and he became a disconnected test subject#that probably wasn't even built to last#and he on top of that was used as a bargaining chip to cause the apocalypse#like isn't that basically the good luck/bad luck cycle?#anyway#he's just like him fr fr#apoca.log#danganronpa#danganposting#sdr2#hajime hinata#nagito komaeda

I know everyone likes to concept of IWTV vamps losing their ability to make good art when they become vampires but, I actually like the idea that sometimes people/vampires just aren't that talented lmaoooo. But immortal vampires have the money and the time to pursue artistic hobbies, plus the desire to reconnect with humanity, so they do so anyway despite a lack of talent.
Like Marius for example is exactly the type of asshole who would be only a semi-decent painter, but use his money and power and influence to insert himself into the art world like he belonged there.
And if Armand is to be believed, Lestat wasnt a bad actor at all.
Like sorry bout it but maybe Louis just isnt a great photographer! And the reason it stings so much is because filthy sack-of-blood humans would dare tell a vampire "maybe you're just not cut out for this."
We know vampires are only supposed to turn only the most attractive humans. Who is more unearnedly confident in their artistic abilities than hot people?
#I just think it would be funny if certain vampires were like 'yes well... it's the curse of our kind to lose the ability to make art.'#only to find out some vampires are extremely talented! its just a personal flaw that they themselves suck!#iwtv

honestly??? i still dont know what to do with the idea that there might be a bunch of clone fords out there???? it honestly makes me so unhinged??????
#i'm guessing that they'd be.... hamster like consider how the sev'ral timez clones turned out#gravity falls#ford pines#stanford pines#but honestly if this becomes a thing#then that means stan is the only one without a duplicates story lmao#stan: ....huh. never thought you'd be a deadbeat dad at the age of 18#ford: i'm disowning you.#(something something ford seeing versions of himself lacking any type of agency at all#.....probably would be further convinced that hes cursed somehow tbh :///)#.....oh hey theyd probably can settle the whole 'are they identical or fraternal' debate by having a clone with 5 fingers lmao#altho... how fast do they develop in the tubes#would they appear to be the same age as the stan twins anyway lol#(....would the artists forget that their hair wouldnt floof upwards cos thats a portal incident thing lol)#also is ford's stripe of white hair considered to be a side effect of his metal plate surgery#its a lot paler than stan's hair colour im pretty sure#would the clone fords be hyperobnoxious considering the doc hyping up their talents???#they wouldnt have ford's crippling insecurities and they wouldnt have a stan to help ground them#but they probably wouldnt have ford's fascination with weirdness either#how many other clones are there in general?????#(also rip mabel and the girls not really solving the whole 'that boy band producer is#just gonna keep making more trapped clones to replace em' problem)#truly the ethical problems of this kids tv show skgdgkhfhk#......everyone's reaction to a clone stan really would be 'tHIS IS WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE IF YA DIDNT SMOKE???'#guy who clearly started smoking when he was like 13 lmao

I have made my complaints about the writers, but have decided to shelve my disdain and just focus on the bits that had my cunt heart aflutter.
And, as always, I will continue with my cursed Canva creations.
Stay hydrated everyone. 💜
#house of the dragon#i don't want my curse of reading the damn book to drag everyone else down#ewan mitchell#is perfection and i am enjoying watching him command every scene he is in#tom glynn carney#is fucking slaying#the cast is so very talented#to ryan condal and sara hess#a plague on both your houses

the human brain truly was not meant to handle the sheer number of powerful animatic ideas florence welch's cosmic love inevitably generates
#shouting speaks#luckily i have supremely talented friends i can shamelessly offload these ideas to <- bearer of the curse#txt

Uni puts on white high-heeled boots, smiling softly and tenderly at everyone, trying to somehow break that height difference, still remaining a small child. Glances stop at her too often, running over the strange hat and tattoo under her eye, but every stranger she tries to make eye contact looks away.
She feels their fear, how their feelings scream that she is dangerous, and not who she pretends to be - and again stretches her lips into a thin smile, behind which hides a chasm of visions, more like nightmares
Good kids don't survive in the mafia.
The curse was draining her strength, greedily devouring the remnants of a broken life, barely reaching her by the hand to twenty - and Uni, quietly, so that no one would hear, thanked her ancestors for this.
As soon as she accepted the curse after her mother, the visions abruptly stopped, leaving only a picture of her death.
But now... She's free again. And the shaman's blood, lulled by human blood and the power of Trinisette, wakes up again, capturing the child's mind with inhuman wisdom.
She looks at Kawahira, silently demanding answers, and he looks back wearily.
He knows, but he cannot understand, because he has never completely pretended to be a man, only putting on masks, leaving his essence unchanged. Sepira wanted to fuse with the mask of humanity, and she almost managed to deceive her beloved humanity by passing carnival masks to each descendant.
Almost - because Uni has become free again to exchange prudence for the thinking of almost immortal beings, and is almost going crazy from inconsistency with what she has become accustomed to in her short life.
She's scared too, but no one can help her.
Either she gets out on her own, or she finally surrenders to the mercy of Sepira's echo, which remains in the mind of every Giglio Nero.
(Uni doesn't want to disappear again)
#khr#khr uni#khr yuni#uni giglio nero#katekyo hitman reborn#kawahira#yuni giglio nero#i just remember the moment when kawahira told uni that he saw IN HER EYES that she will protect trinisette#or smth else#so maybe he can also predict the future? or this thing will work only with giglio nero#sepira giglio nero#sepira khr#i always think that foresight is more the curse than talent#anime#and i cant stop thinking that shamans cant understand humans fully#so sepira treats humanity as beloved and mischievous children#and kawahira not
