#this one's gonna slap though

[dresdencodak]

Hey folks, I'm making a book. More news on that sooner than you think!

[moonpaw]

got an external harddrive the other day so i can have a backup of my files and ect and here's the current space TZP is taking up lol (chapters 1-441)

it's currently taking up more than 1/5 of my pc's harddrive

Okay so like. I am very much married to Ravyn's canon look with the scarf and paladin armour + helm combo. but their current in-game dragonlord drip kinda slaps, and something about the wings invokes a valkyrie to me- which makes some crispy parallels to her pre-reset mecha model that I really enjoy.

can you imagine being a little twee simon and garfunkel fan in the late 60s and then buying your new vinyl at the record store and hearing mrs. robinson for the first time in your own home. i would’ve fallen over backwards

sweet mother of GOD i just got off a 7 hour day of back-to-back tattooing for our Friday the 13th flash event

i was SUPER worried it wasn't gonna go well but the universe delivered and i made enough to pay off my credit card bill, treat myself to dinner, and still have some left over

and i'm SUPPOSED to be getting in money from some government rebate , i'm the only one in the shop who hasn't gotten it yet so it probably means i'm gonna have to call my bank or figure out how to sign into my CRA account so i can get my hands on that money

it would be really great because the last few weeks have been deeeaaad so i could really use it LMAO but again i'm just so glad the flash event today went well, i wasn't even charging my usual hourly rates so i didn't make as much per tattoo as i normally would and i still had a good day, people tipped well and i was literally tattooing non-stop on just a cup of coffee, a granola bar, and a hi-chew LOL

i'm also currently booking up my next year of conventions and markets, i'm attending at LEAST two tattoo expos next year (p sure we also got in on a third and that's just the ones we've been accepted to, doesn't include the ones that haven't opened up applications yet) and i'm returning to the Atlantic Entertainment Expo next year which has TWO events planned and i got into both of them

and on top of ALL that, i just found out LO won the harvey award so you know what THAT means- unzips wallet

anyways enjoy this picture of one of my tattoos today, i literally did this design SIX FUCKING TIMES-

we got ourselves a mains call, lads!

liking this post tells me that you would like to be mains, prioritizing interactions with each other and implying a level of comfortability between us -- basically, neither of us need to be nervous about sending memes, asking to ship, and other such things! not that any of my mutuals need to worry about any of this, but mains especially so. if you are currently listed as a main/affiliate on my pinned, you don't need to like this post! you're stuck with me already <3

in case you're worried about this, you do not have to speak to me regularly to be a main! i'm not always the best with messages anyway :' ) i only ask that we've written together before and kinda have an idea of our muses' dynamic ( doesn't need to be fully developed!! ). if you feel a connection and want it to grow, then i'm all for that!

Gabriel moments that make me ragingly feral (1)

The Noose;

I think for this to be emphasised best it’s missing a little extra context, not that it’s needed but it certainly adds to the direness of the situation and Dean’s intentions with Gabriel.

Gabriel is not their friend. Gabriel is not even their ally. Freshly freed from torture and imprisonment, Gabriel has run off to try and break the last of his chains which proves more difficult than anticipated when he’s as weak and vulnerable as he is (physically and mentally). His choice to seek out the Winchesters isn’t born of trust or love but pure desperation, and Gabriel wasn’t around to witness Dean’s temper tantrum over him exercising his freedom to go deal with his own personal dramas- because that’s what this is for the Winchesters as well, they can talk big game about Michael but things would be fine if they left it alone, they want their mom. It’s understandable, they love her. But let’s not pretend anything about wanting to break open rifts between worlds in s13 is anything but them refusing to mourn a mother that never existed. Gabriel’s motives are no more petty than Dean’s, and I stand by that. If they had righteous motives they would leave their mother and keep the wall between worlds sealed.

So Gabriel doesn’t know that he is not walking back into a tense but still there allyship, like how he left things after Sam nursed him back and to return the favour Gabriel snapped out of his stupor to fight back to save him and Castiel. Sure he ran away and this is not friendship, but it’s something. He doesn’t know things have changed personally, because of Mary, because of a woman that looks like a friend Dean used to have but isn’t.

So when Sleipnir and Narfi come kicking in their door and start attacking the Winchesters, Gabriel (after taking a brief respite to panic in the bathroom) again steps between Sam and the enemy. Could simply be that he acknowledges he needs numbers on his side and if Sam and Dean die now it’ll be 1v2, or he’s still trying to pay Sam back for his kindness. Either way, he fights alongside them again.

After a little camaraderie, Dean is quick to pull out binding cuffs he’d been stashing which could be considered pretty overkill when Gabriel is already powerless and bleeding out, and the frame centers the cuff around Gabriel’s throat like he’s caught in a noose. Along with the framing of Gabriel as captured and subdued here they’ve also set Dean alone and Sam side by side with Gabriel, since he’s going to be the one fighting for Gabriel’s autonomy and recovery in upcoming scenes against Dean’s harsh Take What We “Deserve” method.

Here he’s trading one master for another potential one if Dean were to get his way here (restraining him, beating him, taking what Dean feels he deserves from body while he’s too weak to fight back), all because he came back to ask for help.

Ironically, it’s the exact same thing he did when he ran back to another old friend and asked him for help only to wind up contained, powerless, and stripped of his grace for someone else’s personal use.

Seems Gabriel is the worst of them all at learning his lesson.

Arbitrarily decided to make a Kuroko no Basket fandom playlist and now I’m sitting here blasting Granrodeo and OldCodex in my headphones and being violently transported back to high school

“i’m all alone, but i’m as happy as can be!”

[irregularbillcipher]

watched the musical demon show (don't wanna name it so this post isn't in the tags) at the behest of an IRL friend and i can already tell this is going to be a piece of media where i absolutely cannot stop thinking about it, not because i really love the show as-is, but because it has so many individual components i really like and find incredibly fun or compelling, and i'm so frustrated that it doesn't come together for me

i think the main thing i can say about it as a show, setting aside some of the insensitive choices that were made that i really don't feel qualified to tackle or talk about, is that the entire thing sort of gives off this vibe of someone really excited to show you every single oc they made in high school and college and i very genuinely mean that in both the best and worst ways possible

there are some good hooks for season two though so i will absolutely give them that

tell me about your correct opinions. I love hearing opinions...

Honestly I can't think of any specifics rn hdggjndg I just know I am a Nishikiyama Understander. I think one off the top of my head is that yes, he's clearly more emotional than others, but he is not remarkably so and he is NOT a 'crybaby'. Like every time he's cried on screen it's been for very understandable reasons and in highly emotional situations.

Or the idea that him not reciprocating Reina's feelings is like, an inherent character flaw??

Awh, I just had an old mentor (for lack of a better word) reach out to me and say he saw one of my articles about racism and intersectionality and he's planning on using it as a resource for one of the college courses he's teaching, I'm so :'''')
