We all of us have our particular devil who rides us and torments us, and we must give battle in the end.

Daphne du Maurier, from Rebecca, 1938

Come on, people, it's the root of the word "tantalize"! Y'know, "to hold something beyond someone's reach; to bait someone with a desired but seemingly unattainable object," etc?! Sisyphus didn't get a whole-ass fantastic mouthfeel verb and adjective (tantalizing), Tantalus did!

my mythology pet peeve is when someone describes a scenario in which they keep nearly getting something and then having it snatched away, and everyone's like "one must imagine sisyphus" no!!! one must imagine TANTALUS!!! sisyphus = being made to perform a pointless, aggravating task over and over without ever making any progress. tantalus = being offered a glorious reward only for it to vanish as soon as you reach for it. they are NOT the same

Gravity Falls AU where everything is exactly the same except Bill’s parents are alive and well, and they’re just so proud of their chaotic dream demon son

#doctorsiren #gravity falls #the book of bill #billford #bill cipher #stanford pines #scalene cipher #euclid cipher #gravity falls fanart #cipher family fun au #digital art #my art #procreate #I just think it would be funny if like…he didn’t destroy his home dimension and instead just left to do crazy things because he wanted to #and his parents are like ‘omg that’s our boy! tormenting the masses! gaining followers! so proud of you honey!!’

the 3rd of September

I have this despise in me towards everything and everyone the very act of motion of moving my limbs, opening my eyes gazing at the world, the street— turns my guts upside down accompanied with this rooted grief in my heart which I don't know its concrete source yet it wells up, drifting bringing tears to my eyes and a humiliation of crying tearing me up against myself and everything else

#mine #september #the burden of being alive #torments #suffocation

jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.

#bee posts nonsense #the scene from jurassic world with the baby dinosaur petting zoo.... life could be a dream..#jurassic park #don't create the torment nexus

how i feel about all the changes in s3

#listen i understand complaints and feeling disappointed but y’all gotta remember there’s always the og campaign #there were questionable choices definetly but being negative about it on the internet just does disservice to all the good stuff #it ain’t perfect i miss the group kill but i’m honestly blaming steaming’s whole ‘every season must be the same length’ model #like this season really could’ve used an extra 3 episodes but alas! they made it as solid as possible for tv in that time!#tlovm #critical role #the legend of vox machina #tlovm season 3 #also kiki resurrecting percy near and dear to my heart but also the vax percy bond and getting to see more of percy’s torment mmmm #also the cr cast are clearly having fun with it so its not like some foreign entity is committing sacrilege when they change stuff!

another part of an ask request . I was taken with such vivid imagery of Michael eating a Leitner, despite that absolutely not being a thing it probably can do. I don't care, he's eating that book
