I don't think John relates to Alecto primarily as a woman, that's just one of the stories he tells himself. She isn't a woman, not really, and John knows that better than anyone. She's a place. She's a planet. She didn't stop being a planet when John constructed her a body out of blood, and bone, and earth. That moment also didn't create her as a person. She was already a person.

I've mentioned whakapapa before, in the context of tangata whenua. Something I haven't gone into is that whakapapa includes the land. The mountains, the rivers, the forests. They are people. I don't mean that figuratively; for example, the New Zealand government has finally agreed to legally acknowledge the personhood of Taranaki Maunga.

Alecto and John have a very complicated and multifacted relationship, but I think one face of it that many people may not realise is that the relationship has existed in some form for all of John's life. Alecto is his ancestor, as surely as Anastasia is Harrow's.

#he was referring to her as a person when recounting the very beginning of the story well before his ascension #you were so sick ect #yeah this coexists uncomfortably with her being his adam his frankenstein's monster his annabel lee but I think it's supposed to #they are not one thing to one another #there are (if you'll excuse the pun) layers #the locked tomb #john gaius #alecto the first #tlt meta #ntn spoilers

(also feel free in the tags to clarify Why you made the choice you made!! :0c)

#polls #tumblr polls #For me I think the top ones would be the House. The Money. or the Friend Group. But I ultimately might would go for the house #JUST becuase it would be my Dream House which means it would already meet mostly all of my specifications #and what I might be looking for. which would save a lot of time searching or customizing/rennovating.#Also because I could use that as a way to leave the US lol.. like .. if I get to choose my dream location.. couldnt I just choose some othe #country?? But I wonder how that works. Can you legally 100% have full ownership of a property in a country yet not be a citizen of that #country?? Would you show up and be like 'erm.. i own this house.. so i shall now live in it' and theyd be like 'uh no. you cant live here #despite owning the house. leave.' ??#So I think the initial process of 1. scraping together funds to actually MOVE myself and my most valuable belongings physically #TO another country. and 2. figuring out how to STAY in that country . might end up being difficult.. BUT. if I could just work that #part of things out then.. dream house?? security for once in my life?? stability?? :0 #Though the $1mil is enticing it's also like.. I feel .. with the way housing prices are now... that's not much???#it's a lot I guess if you plan on like.. investing half the money and staying in an apartment for 5 years while you grow your wealth #or something. but if you're a 'I Need Stability NOW' ready to settle down person who would be most interested in owning a property rather #than nice clothes or a car or whatever other investments you could make then.. eh..?? It seems like unless you're okay with living in #a small town or kind of far away from the city - even some SMALL houses in majorly populated areas in the US will be like #$600.000 - $900.000 or something. like that would be MOST of my money. Which I know you could just pay partially and make #payments on it but idk.. in the option of just outright owning the house it seems like it'd end up being cheaper.#Plus I would want to own it fully asap because I'd be afraid of losing it somehow otherwise. like it being taken for medical bills or #something. which I thought was supposed to be - not IMPOSSIBLE - slightly more complicated legally if you actually have #paid off the house in full. I guess the issue then would be utilities and property tax and such. But I feel like thats overcome-able??#Like I could just stipulate that my Dream House has a little furnished addition or something and then find someone #with money and be like 'Look you can live in this extremely nice area with amazing ameneties and updated everything and ALL you have #to do is give me money to cover the utilities and property tax.'' or something like that. Like the little furnished addition is nicer #than the actual house. they have their own pool and spa and movie room or something and Ill also cook all their meals for them #or whatever (how luxurious it would be depeneds on how high the property tax actually is/how much I would need to entice them into #why it's a good deal for them to pay it for me lol). idk... something like that.. ANYWAY #I asked a few people I know though and one of them answered they'd rather have a romantic partner. the other one said they'd like #to be able to choose someone to die lol.. So I'm curious what people value the most

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

#the ship overall is C to A tier #but it's things like THIS that push it up toward the A #titan ae #titan a.e.#cale #akima #it just...#starts with them chilling together being comfortable in each other's space #that would be enough that's a point there #then she goes and HANDS HIM THE SANDWICH SHE'S EATING #sharing their food #that's another one #and she does it because his hands are busy so he can't feed himself #so that's a third point #and she does it WITHOUT LOOKING AT HIM which is a FOURTH point #and he bites into it without request or invitation so that's a FIFTH point #and then he TAKES THE WHOLE SANDWICH AND GULPS IT DOWN LIKE A LIZARD #which is a SIXTH point #and jumps it up to SEVEN because she pulls her fingers free and finally looks at him and yells at him #IT'S A SEVEN-POINT ROMANCE COMBO #do you know how utterly rare those are?#those are generally earned through KISS scenes where the hands move and the heads touch and maybe there's a spin #they achieved a seven-point romance combo by SHARING A SANDWICH #fixing machines and sharing lunch URRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH

ref

a satisfactory answer for Selina

#bruce wayne #batman #selina kyle #catwoman #batcat #bruce #selina #mine #my art #i wanted to make the bat ears fold back SO badly but it looked too odd . unfortunately #wanted to put the collar ON HIM too but also it looked too out of place. SAD .#oh my GOD i forgot i could add IDs to these pictures now !!!#just finished adding that #i will see if i can do that for the other images i posted on this blog #anyway #thats her pookie bear.... her discord kitten...#who said that #this is what batcat is . to me . not that deep #just playful. selina gets to cause a little mischief whenever she wants and bruce gets be ouppy when he wants #thats just what the file names are LOL ouppy 1 2 and 3 #in another post i may feel inclined to expand on it instead of in these tags #just know that there are very few people he would let restrain him and she is one of them. they just vibe like that.#younger bruce DOES follow her like a little duckling for these kinds of things. older bruce is too miserable to do fwb w anyone anymore #so they just enjoy each others company and reminiscence #mm. alot of tags for a shitpost.

Of course everyone WANTS to be Emily Axford; she’s cool as fuck.

But in your admiration of her—fawning over her beauty, laughing at all of her jokes, etc—you’ve become someone else.

You are Murph.

You’ve always been Murph.

#this is not a bad thing by the way I’ve been a Murph stan day 1 #*banging pots and pans together* there’s only one Emily Axford and there will never be another but there are millions of us Murphs #emily axford #brian murphy #dimension 20 #naddpod #not another dnd podcast #fantasy high #8 bit book club

i think alphonse would still experience depersonalization and dysmorphia even after getting his body back

#alphonse elric #obviously hes glad about having it back #but there's this unease at the back of his mind #because hes been put into a new body that is drastically different from the one he was in for years for a second time #and that body isnt the one he lost. it had changed so much since he was 10 and i dont even think he could recognize himself for a while #i also think thats why he got the exact same haircut he had as a kid. to feel more like that younger and more familiar version of himself.#anyway i think he would still feel like he lost another part of himself by gaining everything back #even if he hated every second of being in that armor and even if all he ever wanted was to be normal again #he still spent 5 years in that body. long enough to begrudgingly become used to it #and for his body to change instantly into an unrecognizable version of himself #i dont think he had an easy time adjusting to being so different physically #even beyond the fact that he had to spend months/years physically recovering #oughhh its such a weird and complex feeling to miss something that made him miserable #just because that familiarity is more comforting than all of the pain and overstimulation of gaining his senses back #and being a completely different person physically #i also think hed have trouble sleeping for a while and start Thinking About Things He Shouldn't at night again #this is one of those things #fma #fullmetal alchemist #fma fanart #fmab fanart #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #fma art #fmab #fma brotherhood

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

#fanart #billford #bill cipher #stanford pines #gravity falls #book of bill #i watched gravity falls because i was curious about all the Toxic Old Man Yaoi on my dash and wanted context #turns out most of the context was in the book of bill tho lmao #look they either banged or married or both while drunk and i will accept no other possibilities #you don't use the phrase 'and one thing led to another' in a PRIVATE JOURNAL if what happened wasn't salacious in some way #i mean - ford didn't exactly grow up in The Most Inclusive Time Period???#dude was probably like 'gotta use this wording for plausible deniability - NO ONE can know i boinked the talking triangle'#in other news - i must bully the baby billy #don't know how much more GF stuff i'll toss up here but i have a few other little scribbles in the works. probably won't color them tho lol #also don't ask me why bill's bowtie stays where it is despite his “pants” being under it. just. just fucking don't ok???#EDIT: oh and since i see this a lot in this fandom for some reason: DO NOT REPOST THIS PLZ K THX :D

a lot of YA and fantasy stuff has always been a little cringe and silly but at least it used to be cringe from the heart instead of designed in a lab to get teens on tiktok to use a certain sentence from it

#it's one thing to be aware of your audience and another to write something with an intended purpose to get chopped up into little bits #1000

You know how in TFP Optimus can’t really remember what happened during his time without the matrix. Yeah. The sad version of this what if Optimus met cogless Megatron.

Cont from this, and this

#transformers #macaddam #transformers one #megatron #optimus prime #tf one #d-16 #tfo megop #version one is the matrix is slowly forming Op into the ideal leader it needs #getting rid of parts of Orion that aren’t leader like (his weakness to d-16 or his unruly personality)#version two is op willingly letting the matrix erase his old memories bc remembering who he used to be is too painful with d-16 gone #it culminates in thing like Elita saying remember that one time we…#and Op being no not really but can you remind me again haha #the autobots who knew him before are obv concerned but they accept it in the end as op’s sacrifice for the greater good #Megatron being the only one outraged on op’s behalf vowing to take the matrix back out #just another thing they looked up to being false #but also secretly being relieved bc that means all those thing prime did he didn’t mean it! and the pax he knew is just stuck in there #and he would def join him once he frees him #(both of these are false)
