do you ever just remember how one of the most effective things parvis said to get silence to lose faith in saria was essentially "do you really think she would ever choose YOU over everything?" and silence with her low self esteem really didn't believe saria would.
Then in the end saria really did choose them over everything, left her defense director job and her whole life up to that point behind for the sake of silence and ifrit. and silence still doesnt even know. do you ever think about that and lose your mind a little bit.
#turns out my pre lone trail jitters translate to reread the rhine lab manhua and lose my mind over it all over again#its one of those stories i could write multiple essays on#like silence's lack of self love#do you ever notice how in the final scene when she makes her big declaration about curing ifrit joyce and 'the many many infected'#she never mentions curing herself#how she runs into the flames looking for ifrit with no regard for her own safety during the diabolic crisis#even the funny gag moment with joyce is based on silence overworking herself and joyce pushing her to take care of herself#and here where parvis basically says saria would never choose you and silence instantly just accepts that as true#of course saria wouldn't choose her#even her big grudge against saria is anger on behalf of ifrit not for herself#this owl has such a big heart and so much love for everyone but herself#arknights#olivia silence#saria

if you like ling and greed the most… have you perhaps considered… shipping greedling? 👀
Bold of you to assume I don't ship whatever the fuck Greed x Ling x Ed have going on at the same time
#there is just something about the 'dude that takes over your body that turns out is extremely lonely and just wants love' trope#believe me i ship them believe me very hard#greed was too hot to die it's a loss for the bisexual community (the bisexual community being ling and ed)#ed saying he knows ling is in there. ed telling greed to become allies. dude be pulling both he doesn't even think about it huh#greed is just so gay for these two i can't even put it into words maybe what he truly needed were friends and 2 boyfriends#and ling is so in love with them too like look me in the eyes and tell me his last scene with greed wasn't extremely romantic#jumping off a bridge honestly these three live in my mind rent free#fmab#greedling#edling#edgreed#?? i am guessing that's the ship name i am new here okay

Zero Day (2002)
#movies film cinema#zero day#ben coccio#I actually talked to the director on Facebook super nice guy and he told#me a lot about the filmmaking process and even helped me with tips on directing non-actors and new actors#I remember him telling me to always be supportive and tell your new actors they're doing a good job even if they aren't in the first take#cause you can instill confidence and still reshape and change their choices and mistakes later#Sometimes I'd message him for advice when I was running into problems on some of my early projects#he told me once ''did ya choose to collaborate with this actor cause you were lonely or you guys had passion and chemistry''#“collaborating is like a relationship” and he was so right#there's nothing worse than working with people you disdain cause there's no communication and no trust.#he told me how he wrote the first couple of drafts of Place Beyond the Pines but his take on the 3rd act wasn't clicking for the director#so he took the script and went and had another writer rewrite the 3rd act but he liked the process cause he learned a lot and still got pai#but I'd still like to see Ben Coccio's take on Place Beyond The Pines he says the 1st and 2nd act are mostly unchanged#Ryan Gosling's scenes are still mostly the same he said but he couldn't tell me too much cause of the NDA he signed#The bloopers of Zero Day are hilarious his tip he gave me about being supportive#“This is actually great but can we-” and Cal interrupts him “He says that no matter what if you're doing good or bad!” and everyone lols#I hope I can make it and ask him to collab with me on a script#He's such a nice dude compared to the harrowing film he made.#I wish there was BTS but he had only one tape to film on and this was made when digital camcorders were infants#I think he had only one 2 hour tape that's how low budget#The bloopers is just Cal or Andre secretly filming and Ben getting annoyed “Is it recording?” and Cal going “Nah..."#Cal is such a funny guy IRL I wanna see him act more cause he's so good. He was so great at playing a sadistic psychopath in this.#the final shooting is so harrowing and disturbing#I told Ben he srsly gut punched me/disturbed me and this is what made him really open up.

New oc moment rahhhhh
It's gonna take me a while to color her because I'm busy with school and also their kandi bracelets are going to have so many colors (it's silly but it's gonna be a pain to draw)
(also she's an oc inspired by @paranormal-peri like Valentine is. tho I mostly made her to give Valentine a friend at work, the two of them are besties :3)
Anyways here she is! Some background for her under cut!
(EDIT: I added her to my artfight profile as a WIP so like, go there to check out some more information on her link to it is in my intro post :3)
A scientist at a paranormal institute, she's passionate about her work and treating her test subjects with decency. Energetic, loud, and creative, June tends to scary off or piss off her fellow scientists and works alone because of that. Well, except for Valentine. He doesn't mind their antics. She pursues the paranormal after their twin sister's death, as her sister was pursuing it before she died. June also studies it to try and find out why she feels like there's gaps in their memory, why looking at clown dolls and confetti poppers makes them want to sob for an unknown reason. And so they investigate the paranormal, hoping it provides answers to her endless questions.
(she had a fairy godmother that was shared with her sister but I haven't gotten that far into their lore. all I have is the fairy is themed around a confetti popper and liked clowns a lot.)
#fairly oddparents#the fairly oddparents#fop oc#fairly oddparents oc#oc#i find her very silly#her style is the sillyest#scene/scenecore styles are very cool#coloring them will take a while but it will be done!#i will force myself to do it!#tbh i just wanted to give Valentine a friend#bro was lonely and needed a bestie to be silly with him#he needs friends!!!! he needs to not be lonely!!!! rahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

When Mortimer learns Manco is a fellow bounty killer...
He smiles softly, hinting that he's already considering asking Manco to become his partner.
Manco, on the other hand...
...comes to the same realization with a sour grimace. He enters full blown this-town-ain't-big-enough-for-the-two-of-us mode.
Manco repeatedly tries to instigate a fight as he attempts to kick Mortimer out of town. He steps on Mortimer's boots, punches him in the face, and-- of course-- shoots his hat.
Despite Manco's repeated attempts to provoke him, Mortimer never escalates the confrontation. He only reciprocates gestures that Manco introduces. When Manco steps on Mortimer's boots, Mortimer reciprocates. When Manco shoots Mortimer's hat a comical number of times, Mortimer reciprocates. Mortimer doesn't punch back, and he doesn't take the opportunity to injure (or kill) Manco-- even when Manco is at a range disadvantage.
This is noteworthy, because earlier in the film, Mortimer remarks:
"Why should a man walk around with a pistol and then let himself be insulted?"
Mortimer goes through most of his encounter with Manco wearing a calm, curious expression. Manco, meanwhile, seems enraged by Mortimer's very existence.
Why is Mortimer so unperturbed by Manco's antagonistic behavior?
Well! Though Manco clearly views this interaction as a skirmish against a rival... Mortimer views it as an opportunity to court a potential partner.
His smile from the earlier scene indicates that he wants to work with Manco. That's why Mortimer reciprocates actions instead of escalating them.
Mortimer's goal was never to "beat" Manco in their quasi-duel; it was to convince Manco that he was worthy of an equal partnership.
I believe that Mortimer began the night already fully intending to invite Manco up to his hotel room for the partnership proposal.
He just needed to shoot a hat to make it happen.
#for a few dollars more (1965)#for a few dollars more#mantimer#mancomer#dollars trilogy#im back at it again with another super surface level meta analysis !#im trying to get back into the swing of writing analyses again#and ''mortimer wanted to befriend manco; not beat him'' is a fairly simple thesis to argue.#his motivations behind wanting the partnership are comparatively more open to interpretation#like... did mortimer want manco as his partner..#...because manco was far more impressive than previous partnership options?#...because mortimer spent years pursuing revenge by himself and he got lonely?#...because indio his band really are too powerful to take on alone?#(personally i think mortimer wanted to fuck tmwnn in addition to all the previously listed motivations but shhh)#mortimer's deeper motivations for initiating the partnership are ambiguous. but regardless.. he DEFINITELY wanted it.#and i think their confrontation scene shows that mortimer didnt want to risk offending manco too harshly#but he also didnt wanna risk being seen as inferior.#hence: the compromise of reciprocating but not escalating#anyways im love them#tmwnn#manco#douglas mortimer#clint eastwood#lee van cleef#westerns#🍝#🤠#pardner posts

DOCTOBER '24 ⸺ 「 11 / 31 * IT WORKS 」
22:06
November 12, 1955
Three blinding flashes of light.
Three earth-shaking tremors that shake him to his very core.
Three sonic booms that lash out so fiercely, they pierce through the fabric of space and time.
Instinct tells him to raise his hand and shield his eyes from what he’s about to witness. This knowledge will blind you—you have already seen too much, you should not see this too. Awe, responsibility, and scientific curiosity stay that hand—I must make sure Marty makes it back to his own time—and keep his attention focused on the road as the temporal displacement occurs.
It all happens in the span of a single one of Emmett's frantic heartbeats and when everything is finally over, when an eerie, artificial silence settles into the empty spaces around him, he isn't entirely sure what's happening.
Doubt burrows its way into his mind, carried on the long shadows cast by the brilliant burst of light. Something has gone wrong, the connecting hook wasn’t properly attached to the Flux Capacitor and the power overloaded the Time Vehicle’s delicate and complex circuitry, and Marty—
As he rises to his feet, slightly unsteady, Emmett blinks the spots from his vision and looks around for any sign that his worst fears have been made reality.
There's nothing there.
There’s nothing and Emmett has never been so grateful for that in his life. No crash, no great ball of fire–however, interestingly, the Time Vehicle did leave thin fire trails during displacement that were rapidly dying out–and, most importantly, no Marty.
Emmett lets out a breath he hadn’t realised he’d been holding to the relief of his burning lungs.
The Time Machine and Marty are back where they belong and, for the moment, Emmett allows himself to get lost in the excitement of a successful experiment and ignore the now-surfacing thoughts born of its conclusion and a mind coming down off the adrenaline, laser-focused on one singular thought.
No, there will be time for that later. Thirty years' worth of time.
A wide grin splits his face and he can’t find himself to care if it makes him look certifiably insane as he races down the street in Marty’s temporal shadow, shouting his enthusiasm to the sky.
On the wire, the connecting hook holds strong, waving its goodbyes to a spectre.
Everything had been fine.
Everything will be fine; he’ll see to that, whatever it takes.
See you in the future, kid.
#back to the future#bttf#bttfdoctober#doctober 2024#i fucking love the ending scene to pt1 (and the opening to pt3 technically haha) because that whole scene outside the courthouse#before they try and send marty back is EVERYTHING#there's so much to that scene to break down and talk about honestly#and we don't get a lot of doc after the fact beyond his delight that it worked and marty's home#but there's so much to that scene like#'55 doc has witnessed time travel for the first time. he's witnessed HIS creation in action and successfully temporally displace marty#he had no idea if it was going to work. he had no idea what displacement was going to look like - and it was a bang not a whimper#that's for sure#it's a whole ass spectacle and absolutely fitting for the gravity of the moment#and i think as the scene unfolds more (as it would've if not for marty's reappearance in pts2 & 3) and doc starts taking down the#equipment - there's a lot going through his mind#like now he's got confirmation that this works. that HE built it and it works (awesome!!)#but now he has to build it. and he's gotta do it exactly the same way and by this hard specific deadline. period. full stop.#he's seen things he probably shouldn't've. will that have serious repercussions on the timeline? will he know if it begins to unravel?#if he's fucked something up?#doc's not the kind of guy to ignore these things - he's always thinking about this stuff#and while he's thrilled in the moment - the lone pine timeline was a lot rougher for doc in terms of the stress of getting the time machine#finished on time. and knowing that one day marty'll be his friend and never knowing WHEN. god. thirty years is such a long time to wait#to re-meet the person you'll call your best friend. (alright technically not the full thirty since they don't meet in '85 but#you get my point.)#so i wanted to write just the immediate aftermath#the delorean is physically gone but the weight of it is most certainly not gone and it will be weighing on doc until '85

#so here’s the thing-#and I am in awe of anyone who watched that episode who took those crumbs#and they were indeed literal crumbs and accepted it#but that doesn’t change the fact that we were robbed- and not just robbed#but the clip of Maya Rudolph at the Emmys this year where she pronounces robbed as ROB-BA-DAH#like explaining it here does no justice but I promise you it’s amazing#but we were told this is a big Tarlos episode#this would have a scene they couldn’t believe they got on tv- better than the second episode we were told#but this is the big Tarlos addresses their problems episode#and here’s what we got- one scene of them in therapy- almost all of which was released as a preview#like the only thing missing was the dinner scene#and also it’s unfair to say it’s such steamy scene when it goes nowhere because someone falls asleep#and the lack of context we have been given - it would have been better to jump right from the premiere to this one#because we were given nothing outside of the premiere to think they would do this#because the show doesn’t take the time to let us see these problems outside of one episode#like honestly this isn’t about TK or Carlos#because yes it’s like these issues aren’t easily fixed#but these issues should be addressed and especially since Carlos doesn’t seem like he would want to do this#and we’re told this in the 120 seconds we see of them in therapy#that it would be worthwhile to take the time to explain how they got there#but to say this is a big Tarlos episode - and their therapy scene is over before the title card#and to not see them together at all before they resolve everything#like we deserved more#we were told we were getting more#like to each and every fanfic writer out there let me grab you by the shoulders and tell you this#I wish you had written this season. I really do.#becuase the ones who did- they didn’t deserve to tell this beautiful couples story if they were going to be so careless with it#911 lone star#tarlos

Busting a lung because the whole Joker Arthur thing was cringe as piss all, despite being one of the most beautiful healing times in my life. Still embarrassing cringe as possible can be.
#you either wear your heart on your sleeve and more than likely embarrass yourself to cringe levels beyond fathom but heal#or you keep it all inside and suffer like most people#I started laughing before I made this post because I saw a video on Instagram where Todd was worried about one of the scenes being cringe#my man the entire movie trilogy culture of the Joker movie was cringe and the fandom was cringe and I was cringe#and I don't mean this as an insult but more so just as an example about how inevitable it is that you're going to embarrass yourself if#you ever want to be anyone or anything at alL;#AND THAT'S GODDAMN OKAY!#The happiest I've ever been in my life was when I was writing romantic inserts sharing it with other people on Tumblr all day without worry#now I'm the most miserable lonely bitch that takes herself way too seriously and is more productive than ever but is utterly miserable!#I'm not saying the Joker movies aren't incredible in their own way#but God there was so much embarrassing cringe drama that happened on this app#BUT I WAS THE HAPPIEST THAT I HAD EVER BEEN JUST BECAUSE I WAS GODDAMN EXPRESSING MYSELF AND CONNECTING WITH OTHERS#and depending on how you look at it the movies and Arthur himself is incredibly embarrassing but it's beautiful because it's REALAS!!!!!!

I don't know if I ever read your opinion on this, but how do you feel about Armand claiming Louis asked him to wipe his memories, now that we know Louis only got back together with Armand to spite Lestat? Like, if Louis basically cursed them both to this loveless eternal marriage where they're both miserable, but he wont leave Armand because then Lestat "wins," I think it actually makes me believe Armand may have been telling the truth? Like Louis may be desperate for anything that allows him to forget this misery he's resigned himself to live with as penance. Maybe he even thought it could make him love Armand again.
😮💨
If you had asked me before this episode i would have said louis asked for... Something? And Armand took the opportunity to dodge responsibility and ran with it. But now? Honest to god? I dont care.
If Armand wiped Louis' memory 100% premeditated against his will and everything I don't care. You trap someone who loves you while using them as a servant, holding their own heart fucking hostage against them, saying you love them when they know you dont mean it, making them beg for forgiveness, leaving them to clean up your messes, and then you tell them theyre not INTERESTING ENOUGH???? THAT THEY'RE NOT PERFORMING THE JOY OF LOVING YOU IN A COMPELLING ENOUGH WAY???? YOU TELL THEM THAT A RANDOM GUY OFF THE STREET WOULD MAKE A BETTER LIFE PARTNER THAN THIS PERSON WHOSE HEART YOU HAVE BEEN CRUSHING FOR 20 YEARS?????????
Louis had it fucking coming. End of sentence.
#i had a read on that scene which was like armand had been leaning too hard into his dissociative coping mechanisms#and louis was lonely because he wanted an equal and armand wanted to play maid#but no. thats not it is it.#wake me up in the morning armand. take me to see lestat armand. kiss me armand. never leave me armand. wipe up the blood armand.#jesus fucking christ#blorboposting

Scenes of Iomene and Oscar in the time after.
I have no excuses for why I wrote this except [screams]. PURE SELF-INDULGENT HEADCANON. It takes place over a long, undefined length of time.
Iomene wraps her arms around Oscar's shoulders by the back and at her firm embrace, he leans into her.
His shoulders are broad so she's not able to envelop him completely. They stand at roughly the same height -either by design or some trick of the eye, he's got the impression she ought to be taller- and she's strong enough that he leans without worry of pushing her back.
She rests her chin on his shoulder and looks at the subject of his attention, the storm going outside the tall windows. Behind the curtain of rain, the thinner trees bend under the force of the wind, branches lashing against themselves and on the studier trunks, leaves sway like clothes on a line.
Their eyes cross on the faint reflection on the glass. In contrast to all that is fair in him, his eyes are like two dark marbles, a brown so deep and dark it's almost black; hers resemble her skin, an inhuman ambar like brandy on fire. Whenever she holds his stare to hers, he has the unsettling thought that she can or might be reading his thoughts.
Taking a break? He asks.
Thought I come see you.
He breathes out a laugh. You didn't have to.
The first time it happened he asked if it was her doing, the rain. It wasn't without reason, she had told him this place wasn't entirely real, the mansion -or palace if you lived in the places Oscar had- was almost a personal limbo, between veils, not outside of the Fairelands but not in it either.
Close enough it influences what happens here, she had told him.
If it rains there, it rains here?
She had shaken her head. No, fluctuations in Bleed cause this. I lived in flood and pain when war was at its highest, then in waist-deep snow as it died down.
He had also told her it reminded him of the accident and she held him steadily for what must've been hours if those had any meaning there.
Her breath has a complex rich scent, never bad but never something recognizable; a new, intriguing smell.
I don't have to do anything.
I know. He rubs the back of her hand in a resemblance of reassurance. I'm alright, I promise.
I miss having someone to care for.
He takes her upper arm, his large hand almost wrapping around it, and brings her to his side so he can look at her --- she's beautiful in a way he's not used to, though he's not quite sure what was he ever used to anymore. Her skin is bronze like copper and her hair darker than any black his eyes could register, she only looked human when she stood very close.
You already care for the whole of the Fairelands. Besides, I'm literally the last person that needs caring for.
It's different. And yes, you do. Dying is not the worst thing that can happen to a person and we both know it.
He smiles, not with teeth but broadly. Darling, I'm painfully familiar with oblivion. Though I've only skirted the edges of madness.
I've dabbled in madness a fair share over millennia.
He points lazily towards the window.
Could we walk out on it? Not in permission but in safety. Every now and then I heard of toxic rain back in Newfair, especially right after the war.
It's bleed-induced, but I don't believe it's toxic. I think we could.
And without another word, she takes his hand and leads him out.
He had asked her how far the land around them stretched on the first night he had woken up in the house --- she had kept him sleeping for about a week or maybe a month, a while to dream of death, a while to adapt her world for his presence, to be shared after hundreds of years of solitude.
For as far my legs will carry me, she told him.
Are there other buildings? Other houses?
I never felt the need for them.
You build them?
With enough will and vision, I could.
So you built this? She nods. A bit big for just one person.
One needs a variety of spaces even when living alone. I thought of rebuilding the whole of Oldfaire in the beginning, I went halfway through with it, but seeing my city with none of its people really hurt me. I did replicate the shore of Seasway, not the whole ocean, but enough that it might trick the eye into thinking it's endless.
Wow... I might need a map one day.
Yes, yes, I never thought to do so, it can be a fun project if you'd willing to tackle it. But that's for later. I reshaped some quarters and cleared space so you may shape them to your liking.
I wouldn't know where to start.
I would suggest you start with your bedroom and then the library, browse through my catalogue and pick out the ones you need to assemble your own.
Why can't I use yours?
She smiles that mischievous smile of someone who knows more, who'll always know more. You'll understand when you walk in there.
He went days without moving much further than the clearing surrounding the house, went on not exploring the library and its secrets, went on trying to ignore the grief over Cosmo, and on one of those days, returned with bloodied and torn fists.
I thought I'd hurt less in here, he told her. She gestures to the water-filled bowl in front of him and he dips his hands in, and sighs at the soothing cool of it.
That'd be easier if it was like that. I'm constantly in pain, I just learned to live with it.
I assume because of the Bleed.
Yes. They both go silent and watch the blood colouring the water red. She waits for him with a towel after five minutes. I'll put ointments and bandage it, but it'll heal regardless. It'll heal as if you had never broken your skin.
Can I even die here?
You'll have to try really hard for it and even then you'd return. The magick here... This place is electrified with both life and Bleed, its own reality and limbo combined.
Oscar went around three days without seeing Iomene before daring to enter her private quarters and look for her.
She lied pale yellow on the floor of her study, cold at the extremities, not breathing. For a second he wondered if she had succeded, but just for a second --- if she had died three days ago, her body would've begun to rot and he knew they don't have that luxury.
The bleed permeated the very air he breathed but at that moment, it flooded out of her like a broken fire hydrant, it made his skin break in goosebumps upon touch and something within him to stir.
He took her in his arms and layed her inside the gold bathtub of her bathroom, clothes and all, and ran a hot bath.
Then he sat on the floor and waited for her to return.
After a quiet period of days of studying, on her part, and reading, on his --- inside the library, he understood, rows of books that the biggest library in Newfaire would never be able to comport, knowledge so old it no longer had surviving records in the world of the living, no place traversable in search of a casual read at least not in short notice ---, she invites him for a walk.
The weather was nice, not too hot like in days of excessive magick nor cold like in days of Bleed, and Iomene wore clothes shorter than any he'd ever seen her in, considering he'd only ever seen her in long pants and gowns.
She walked with a purpose for about five minutes before reaching another clearing, not a random grass field, but a perfect cone with grass cut to perfection and familiar lines.
She walked forward towards the perfectly cut circle at the head of the field while he stood stunned.
I know this means very little without peers to play with but I thought we could think of something for two or at the very least it could bring forth fond memories.
He held back tears. Yeah, we can think of something. But we'll need-
The bats and balls are right over there, she says pointing to one of the trees where beneath is an open crate with the equipment. Needless to say, I'll need some training, I'm afraid just watching didn't make me a partner up to par.
He laughed out loud, the first time she heard it. Well, if it'll be just the two of us... He studied the contents of the crate and he picked up a ball. First of all, I think I'll need you to perfect your throws.
And shooted the baseball her way.
The rain feels both exactly like it always did, but also more real, much colder even through his dress shirt, especially through it, the intensity of the rain soaking the fabric until the clothes cling to his skin.
Yet he stands under it, proper vision of his surroundings impeded by the water except that of her, standing near, long dark hair dripping and a face that could only belong to an empress.
I haven't stood in the rain in decades, I think, she shouts. There's something jovial to her in this very moment, to her smile and the way she faces the rain as it pours over her face.
With her, there is always a dichotomy --- real or fantastic, a mother or a partner, a goddess or a woman.
He ignores every restraint and every assumption, and gives in to the feelings he's still allowed in this moment: the cold making his skin prickle, the fear brought by the intense sound of the storm hitting the trees and the house's roof, but especially the searing hot draw towards the woman who doesn't flinch as she looks at the abomination of his existence --- his only equal.
Oscar closes the distance, holds her face with the scraps of gentleness he still recalls and kisses her with the ferocity of a creature fearless of death. Iomene responds with the hunger of a prisoner fed comfort and warmth, holding onto him with nails dug deep as a captive holds onto freedom.
He pulls away with blood seeping through the cracks of his lips, blinking through wet lashes.
You taste like mints, he shouts through the rain.
She's serious when she responds, I considered your preferences.
This takes him by surprise. You knew I'd kiss you?
She smiles with her eyes.
No. But I've been hoping one day you would.
#listen they might as well be sitting in the cold dark void absorbing bleed together but i am a delusional optimist#and I didn't take that scene in normally. her tears and his willingness to agree with her shook my very core#i could have written something normal like raj/elsie but I'll leave that for the monsterfuckers who'll do a way better job than me#the house here goes with little description cause I don't know what would she build. but i just think a whole ass palace would be so lonely#bc this is what i imagine her prison. not a place limited and dark but a very very very lonely place#eventually they'll get to work but first she wanted to acclimate him. for a self indulgent amount of time. to her world#now that i'm thinking about it I guess I'm picturing that part from Inception with the couple#anyway#oscar grimm#iomene#writing#flash fic#candela obscura#candela spoilers#beezwritez

Because being alone all your life is such a death sentence 🙄
#Really wished I didn't take this scene now#Too much sl*t shaming#And “look I got the wo/man you wanted”#For my tastes#And ppl can be happy single#A lot of ppl are happier alone#And I guess aro/ace are just fuxkin miserable ppl 🙄#This just rubs me the wrong way#choices#pixelberry#playchoices#dls#dirty little secrets#Alone is not synonymous with lonely

他居然是朕的儿子里面最像朕的。// 这个臭小子资质不错,的确有我当年的风范。
#POST COMPREHENSIBLE TO LITERALLY ONLY ME AND MARK#GUESS WHAT I FOUND SCENES. THIS CAME TO ME IN A VISION#i have no more filter for posting brainrot. i think of a hlht/lhl post and i just send. no thoughts#hlht#lhl#my posts#there's the same sense of them locking themselves up. in the past#unable to face the people they think they've let down#xrj locks up a painting of gsq in HIS OWN ROOM. takes it out to talk to it about their son bc he had no one else to turn to#just like lxy saying well i am too embarrassed to come here but i have nowhere else to go to#then talking about their successors so fondly#the only time they ever will do so.#while towards the kids they act so strictly / coldly with#nobody will understand the paths of hell they came to be in the positions they are#and it's such a lonely place#being a shifu is the closest thing you have to fatherhood in jianghu. just sayin.#obsessed with how you can simply see the difference in the hlht vs lhl worlds just by these two caps#represented by its two respective leaders#I LOVE THEMMMMMMMMMM
