#the grand plot stuff

[skunkes]

reaching a point where im liking my art and range and flexibility with styles (kinda !) and stylization and its like ok now what do i do with that. I wish my ocs were more interesting/that i could MAKE them so...!

[oifaaa]

I honestly don't know how people who care about spoilers handle life on the internet

i always feel like there's such an underappreciated aspect of lumpus being the one to have feelings for slinkman (over the years) which is that there's something so Hilarious about him wanting to dump his head in a vat of acid because he's thinking stupid mushy shit, or Worse, about this Thing again

who also does not pick up on this at all and just thinks he's being weird again

cw. somno but not really(?)

your bf al haitham creating a soundproof earphones for you to wear to sleep as per your request, just so he can touch himself while looking at you sleeping without holding back his moans

World's most frustrating feeling: having multiple ideas and character designs but despite working on the thing for nearly 5 YEARS still being nowhere close to having a coherent plot 💀

Not knowing who the writer is in the Weird West Cabaret is so good because at first you're like "Wow this character is a really shallow and outdated racist stereotype, the writer is probably old and out-of-touch at best and straight-up racist as the worst" and then you're like "hmm this gay character could be read as problematic and predatory... but it's also possible that his story is a criticism of gay people having to repress their sexuality, and the character is so fun and camp, and whilst this might be for cheap homophobic comic relief, it could also have been written as a celebration of gay sexuality! I wonder how writer intended it..." and then you're like "OH so these people are literally trapped in this play and the writer is forcing them to act this out and wiping their memories?! That's so fucked up who would do something like that?"

And then you find out that the writers are a white gay man from the equivalent of 18th century England, and what was once a group of death-worshipping cultists who are now a mega corporation who travelled to a dimension where they weren't welcome in what can pretty easily be read as a colonisation metaphor.

And all of these people are slowly losing their humanity due to being trapped in robotic bodies.

And then you're like "Oh okay. That makes sense."

I just read an Eng translation of a PT translation. SO GOOD!! KUKO ANGST!!! All the spiral talk is so funny. Uzumaki flopped so BAT could soar. But it does really feel like season one of BAT's story is at an end and we are truly moving to a new era. Like in the other teams, it feels like Jyushi and Hitoya's plots have been wrapped up for now, and BAT has come full circle.

YAY IK YOUVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THAT FOR A WHILE NOW IM SO HAPPY YOUVE FOUND YOUR FAITH AGAIN 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

bat fully coming into their cyclical writing and showing just how powerful their storytelling has been this whole time is 😭😭😭😭

enlightenment is defined as breaking the cycle of suffering and karma, and upon attaining enlightenment, gautama buddha ascended to nirvana to guide all beings

*slams fist on table* AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT WE WATCHED HAPPEN WITH BAT LIKE TERMINUS, CONTINUED AND HEARTACHE COME TOGETHER TO SAY THE END OF CONTINUED SUFFERING KUUKOU FOUND HIS CONCLUSION HERE JYUSHI CUT OFF THE CHAIN THATS CAUSED HIS PAIN HITOYA LOWKEY FOLLOWING A CHRISTIANITY WAY OF JUDGEMENT OF BELIEVING IN HUMANS BUT JUDGING THEIR SINS THEYVE ALL ASCENDED AND ARE NOW READY TO GUIDE HUMANITY ITS SO POWERFUL

I'm stuck at home and already in pain so I guess it's time for:

Absolute Zero Wednesday!

Last week's first episode suggested that I would get everything I expect and want from a melancholic story directed by New Siwaj, so I am going into episode 2 pretty confident.

- That little breakfast scene between the teens is adorable! "Where's your boyfriend, being so nice?/ Where is your boyfriend, being so cute?" I am not immune to young love being sappy.

- This is going to be a Hands Show and I am so, SO here for that.

- I am so happy to see that Ongsa's parents have welcomed Suansoon in their family, really. Also I knew the casting was stellar but it's always a pleasure to see Um Apasiri!! (Tom Phollawat too)

- teen!Ongsa is really far too chill with being followed like that by a whole grown man, even if I agree with him that sad adult!Soon does not look very threatening.

- on that subject, Teng Kanist's sad eyes and soft voice are incredible. I always expect excellent criers from any New's production, but I am so taken by adult!Soon and the way he exudes melancholy, it's not even funny

- Sine Inthira!! (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡

- Ongsa's friend group seems perfectly darling, even if Ohm is risking his life a few times in there, and I am happy that we'll get to see a bit more of them.

- Ah. None of the softness could make me ignore what was to come, and the come back of the ticket situation to finish the episode was a nice and expected (if painful) thrill.

Overall, that second episode was as beautiful as the first one. The visuals are still a delight and the pacing is still working perfectly for me.

Ongsa's crush on adult!Suansoon is absolutely adorable, baby boy truly likes them soft and sad uh. The way he pretends to need tutoring right after we're being told he's good at physics?? throw me back to my 17th year lol (never had more interest and better grades in physics than the year I had a crush on the research assistant and his pink sweaters xd)

I also like how obviously Suansoon's affection for Ongsa bleeds out of him, in the way he looks at and interacts with the boy he fell in love with and who will become the man he shares his life with. He is in such a tender and painful place when he time travels: he just went through the loss of a major mentor figure in his life, and he is now losing the love of his life. I can see why he would go with the flow when given that strange opportunity to spend some more time with Ongsa, even if it's the one from ten years ago (after all, it is the same person, the same smiling and caring person he loves in his present, the one he will love in his past).

Things are going to become really serious 'time shenanigans' wise next week! Of course I read the synopsis so i have some ideas, but I can't wait to see how Suansoon is going to impact his own future and how this is going to play out for the four of them.

Me: *on a tipsy ramble trying to explain the Namek Saga to my long suffering girlfriend* So the reason they went there was to bring back everybody killed by Vegeta, most particularly Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chaotzu, but now! Piccolo is back so Kami is alive but they have to use Shenron’s wish to bring back everyone FREEZA killed, and then they have to use PORUNGA’s remaining wish to move everybody but Goku and Freeza to Earth.

Bast: okay

Me: Which means now not only are Yamcha and Tien fucked for another year, Chaotzu is probably fucked forever because Grand Elder is just gonna die again soon and VEGETA is ON EARTH threatening everyone like a dork AND—

Bast:

Me: KRILLEN IS DEAD.

Bast: Krillen is dead a lot, isn’t he.

Me: HE’S DEAD AGAIN.

Bast:

Me: SO YEAH.

Anyway there’s no punchline I just love Bast she puts up with this shit.

i just keep drawing so much graveyard downshift art that i cant even post yet bc it's spoilers 😭

gripping myself by the lapels: it's a first draft, calm down

Elves, as Gimli had learned early in the Fellowship's travels when Legolas had devoured a cluster of baneberries to the horror of everyone except for the curious Hobbits, who had barely been stopped in time from following his example (after which everyone had been treated to a lecture on the benefits and perils of wild plants by Aragorn, the bulk of which was still burned into Gimli's brain even now) could safely eat almost anything that nature grew. Legolas had spent the next three days of their journey quizzing Aragorn on the limitations of non-elven digestion, and now considered himself something of an expert on mortal-safe foraging habits.

Bit from the next chapter of my current WIP. I need somebody who’s better at comedy than me to actually write the story behind this, because I want to read it but I don’t want to write it. Please, LotR fandom, I offer it to you freely. Someone who isn’t me write this fic, I implore you.

Ridi, oh sweetest Ridi, I finished it.

When S said those three words, I couldn’t imagine R’s heart rate in that moment.

By the by, I had to annotate every book and every album you mentioned in this work. How do you choose what books R likes best or would read?

(And yes! Ridi actually means laugh! in Italian. It’s like an imperative form. If you put Sor in front of it - SORRIDI - it means smile!)

hi omg!! thank you so much bab im so glad you liked it!! :-) also ridi...sorridi...gorgeous i LOVE that omg xx

for choosing r's books--i may have missed one here but i think the three i mention are middlemarch, a single man and crash! some of these were for more specific reasons than others--middlemarch by george eliot was picked because the line from the title the son and heir of nothing in particular, from the smiths' song how soon is now, is a reference to a line in middlemarch: “to be born the son of a middlemarch manufacturer, and inevitable heir to nothing in particular." so while that one wasnt necessarily picked for its relation to what i imagine r's tastes to be, i threw it in for a fun little reference :-) jg ballard's crash is just a pretty insane (and controversial at its time) book i feel like r would pick out of curiosity even if he doesnt end up enjoying it, and isherwood's a single man is pretty sad book about a gay man dealing with the grief of losing his partner which. well r doesnt know much about that yet but he will innit xx anyway i did not mean to ramble sorry!! but thank you for your sweet ask :-) mwah!!

Sometimes I forget a lot of fgo writing is just “it had to be this way because it had to be this way” with no proper explanation. This game’s backstory is held together by twigs and gluesticks.
