#the eureka moment

Anyways here is the official gofundme set up by sonya masseys surviving family if you have the ability to give her family real tangible support

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

"we're on opposite sides!"

"we're on our side!"

Prompt: Because the Infinite Realms exists outside of time and space, the Ghost King summoning ritual is akin to pulling a random draw on a Gacha Game. The stronger the king, the rarer the summon.

Danny is the strongest :)

I refreshed my ask box and hoo boy there are a lot more asks than I was expecting lol Thank you for the prompt!

“So wait, you’ve never been Summoned? Not even once?” Tim looked up from the case he’d been working on, blinking in surprise behind his mask towards where Phantom was lounging lazily several feet above the floor.

“Nope.” Phantom said, popping the P as he shifted around in mid air, long tendril leaving a familiar mildly headache inducing after image behind him as he did.

Tim’s brow furrowed. “No offense, but you’re not exactly the most secretive member of the League. How have you managed to avoid any cults getting a hold of your name to try and do a summoning ritual to capture you?”

Phantom’s grin widened, long fangs glinting against pale blue tinged skin. “I haven’t.”

Across the room, Constantine went very still. Tim slid his gaze back towards the monitor before him, glancing towards the file he’d been reviewing for the case. Zantanna’s report on how summoning worked within the Infinite Realm. How power affected the odds of being able to successfully summon an entity. Odds for most beings from Phantom’s native realm were about 50/50 on a Summoning Ritual working to pull the being to them. Those odds got significantly less favorable for the summoners the stronger the entity got.

But the entity always knew when a summoning was being performed.

“Phantom.” Tim said, slowly, turning back to the grinning ghostly hero. “How many times have people tried to summon you?”

The ghost hmmed, “No idea. If we’re talking just today? …actually still no clue.” Phantom tilted his head, considering. “But since we started talking there’s been at least a thousand or so. It’s slowed down a bit over the last few minutes. Kinda nice.”

Constantine swore a blue streak impressive enough to put Jason to shame and stood, leaving the room in a haze of cigarette smoke and exasperated mutterings of I do not get paid bloody enough for this shit and honestly? Tim thinks he has a point.

Phantom smiles again.

Well, Tim considers, at least they won’t have to worry about him getting yanked in the middle of a battle.

i had a vision from god the other night

anyway i love how some of wolfwood's first character-establishing scenes in both animes is him trying to scam people

[meltingpopsikls]

Dont call them that, bro!

(3 versions because i had a vision)

i was thinking about why rhys annoys me so bad as a character and then i realized it’s because he reminds me of Rhett Butler. The weird condescension stemming from being the only one who “gets” the fmc + being a way older wealthy, black haired man with a tan complexion who’s a black sheep in society. Playing at being blasé but secretly a good person at heart. Plus the inflicting serious bodily harm on the fmc but we don’t have time to unpack all that. If you too were handed a copy of Gone With the Wind in middle school by a family friend and now see that annoying ass man in your fantasy series you’re currently reading you may be entitled to financial compensation.

was trying to come up with a less gendered word to sub in for [beautiful / handsome] and for a second i genuinely believed i'd cracked the case when i came up with "big." can't say i was wrong for that, but perhaps not the best to carry my meaning to the masses

[mochiiniko]

i just realized that i never actually made a whole analysis on 4-4N?? i technically did in first art post i made of the level last november, but the actual original post had it and i. cant find the rambles on it anymore 💀 so i decided i might as well start fresh and share my thoughts without keymashing every two sentences (unskippable cutscene under the cut <3)

i like to think that the “you can be my muse, ill write these songs for you” line from att is a parallel of sorts, in murmurs being from nicoles perspective instead. i mean cole is the whole reason she even picked up her guitar again, and she doesnt play it just because shes inspired since she even thinks about playing FOR him judging by her dialogue which is. crying rn im still not over that because GIRL

with the whole thing about night shifts "being part of the story but not really" im kinda bothered about murmurs being a night shift since what happened might not be brought up later in the story 😭 if it somehow does tho, im thinking of a buildup to a hypothetical 2-XN where its mostly from nicoles perspective

like being a parallel to 2-X with her being the lead singer and the instrumental having her signature acoustic instead. or partly acoustic with coles edm, since most night shifts are supposed to harder counterparts and i dont know how an acoustic boss fight would work lol (actually mental image of nicole beating us up with her guitar that would be funny)

the line "at least i hope you will be" at the very end of att is mostly sung by her, and from what i can gather it seems like shes pretty hesitant or just unsure that cole is the one who could help her get through her addiction. i also noticed that the after clear dialogue has cole (indirectly) talking about nicole being his inspiration instead of having to rely on caffeine, though nicole doesnt say the same thing about her smoking, and im gonna be honest if there was a 2-XN i would love to see her admit it too 😭😭😭

lmao this basically turned into a 2-X ramble but anyways im going back to crying over midterms i just wanted to post this before i forget again wbhwbhuwubhw

Bruh this picture must be really old because the boys' heights are just all over the place.

Idk, maybe the animators just wanted to show how old the picture is by having Raph look like an actual pipsqueak and Leo be almost the same height as Donnie.

Or maybe they forgot to keep the boys from going off model.

If the weird heights are supposed to be representative of how old the image is though, then that really makes the growth of the turtles over time very interesting.

Determining their heights as babies is difficult since there aren't too many shots of them standing side by side at equal heights (not to mention that they spend most of their time crawling). But Leo, Raph and Donnie are close in height to each other, and we can at least make out that Mikey was cursed to forever be the shortest, an observation that's supported by concept art of them.

It was admittedly harder determining their heights as children since they're sitting for almost the entire episode as Splinter tells his story, so this picture of them is the best we've got:

One would look at this and think nothing of it because their heights are hardly any different from when they're teens, but closer inspection shows that Leo and Donnie are standing at different distances from the camera than Raph and Mikey. Not too close for them to seem bigger, but just enough for them to seem shorter than they actually are.

Lining them up with each other shows us that Leo is, during this period of time, actually the same height as Donnie, and they're both a good couple of inches above Raph and Mikey (poor Mikey😭).

And, as we can see by the time the series starts, Donnie ends up as the tallest turtle.

So, in conclusion: Donnie will never stop growing. Tall boys 4 lyfe-

That's not to say the others stopped right there because they evidently grew over time, as expected of teens. Leo's height compared to Splinter's is the best depiction of his growth from S1 to S4.

Though, since Splinter began using his cane more in S4, a better depiction would be to compare him with Donnie from S1 to S5, where we can see that Leo's back in his rightful place as his shoulders are just a hair away from lining up with Donnie's.

So, in conclusion for real this time: Our boys been growin'.

...That or I'm digging too deeply and the staff really just gave up-

[eurekq]

Can't believe I have to say this but you can't just. Hold the futch scale up to someone's hair and declare them butch or femme based on that. Hair is a component of presentation not the single deciding factor. Hair length and it's associations with masculinity or femininity aren't universal across cultures or time either

hot diggity damn how did i miss this

those are not leaves on the tree, those are COINS

cuz remember when pinocchio is told by the cat and fox that if he plants his gold coins into the "field of miracles" it will grow into a money tree (SCAMMERS)

I'm just... floored by some of this stuff, at how much the whole pinocchio thing wasn't just an afterthought. Yes, this is a soulsborne game, it takes heavy influences by the games of fromsoftware, but it's almost as if neowiz is insisting that this is first and foremost a pinocchio adaptation. and it may come off as, a bit of an eccentric choice? but it's also very intriguing

👁👁 cmon madame odile. i know you suspect something about the weird stuff. voice it for the class

This is not at all the topic of this blog, but I want to add to the Good Omens Meta Madness because I have thoughts. Spoilers. Obviously.

I don’t believe in the coffee theory, not in the strictest something-is-wrong-with-the-coffee sense. 

But I do believe that that coffee shop scene is significant, and here is why. 

Give me coffee, or give me death is not really a choice. No one is going to rock up and order death, that’s the point. It may present itself as a choice, but the answer will always be the same. 

“So predictable”, Metatron says.

Metatron is the master manipulator here. Think about it: he enters the moment Crowley storms out, having already instructed Muriel to look after the bookshop. 

He knows perfectly well that, for Aziraphale, there is no choice between embracing Heaven’s Goodness and staying on Earth.

He knows perfectly well that, for Crowley, embracing Heaven is never going to be the choice, regardless of the circumstances.

Most importantly, he knows that the very thing that stopped the Apocalypse last time was the two of them. The two of them, working together, could be the only ones to truly threaten Apocalypse: the Sequel. And hey, the last postponement of that very sequel occurred because… an angel chose a demon. This is not allowed to happen again. 

“You are just the angel for the job”, Metatron says. 

Metatron needs not only to offer Aziraphale the job to keep him close and secure for what’s coming next, but he also needs Crowley out of the picture. For good, preferably. And so, Metatron acts with precision, perfectly exploiting the biggest ideological difference between Aziraphale and Crowley, and makes it impossible for them to ignore it. What better way to make sure that the two people don’t cooperate than by gently guiding them into breaking each other’s hearts?   

That little scene in the coffee shop is about making obvious choices: and the fact that for Crowley and Aziraphale that obvious choice is not the same.

A lot of this season was about meddling. Metatron’s is the ultimate meddling. 

There is nothing wrong with the coffee. 

Aside from it being presented as a logical alternative to death.
