The chimera of Steinmetz, wholly fictional even in its own fictional universe, emerges as the most life-like of Brenner’s variously fanciful or downright murderous incarnations – a credit that must in part go to the superior skills of the LAPD’s equally fictitious team of airbrush wizards but the ultimate irony lies in the fact that Steinmetz comes alive not because he is a well-rounded recognizable human being but because he is recognizable – as a caricature of one: whether as Steinmetz or in his guise as a wildly successful management consultant, a Korean War hero or high-stakes gambler, Brenner’s ultra-gregarious “way out there” characters never fail to impress their intended audience while the deadly deals go undetected. Until they don’t.
Yet even when Columbo demonstrates to Brenner that he has seen through the other man’s shenanigans, has peeled away the layers of deception, quite literally by adding his own, the slick mirrored sunglasses are an obvious defense mechanism but they do signal the character’s return to complete inscrutability. His cool shades firmly back in place, Brenner is once again aloof, detached, and opaque. His one moment of possible vulnerability, of humanity, is calculated to be inconsequential: Columbo knows he is powerless to act on it. If Brenner has a soul, we will never see it. If he has a true identity, we will never know it. (4/4)
#Patrick McGoohan#Columbo#Identity Crisis#Nelson Brenner#Danger Man#John Drake#the final reveal at last what a tease this has been#utterly nailbiting I know#It’s just very annoying I have not been able#to locate that one missing link#The elusive production promo photo number 1761-3 from#This Island Earth#With the head of#Rex Reason#still in place#if it does turn up it won’t be earth-shattering#but this completist will rejoice#for now we need to move on with this show#there’s not one but two of Brenner’s walls#we need to look at next#plus the promised comparison of script and spoken dialogue#which will be super-exciting of course wahoo

couldnt draw my thang for mid-autumn so treated myself to a calne redesign instead
#calne ca#hatsune miku#VOCALOID#cw: body horror#<- And I Fucking Mean That We Are Not Fucking Around Today#well we are. as in I drew this as a fuckaround treat for myself#but the body horror tag is the most warranted its ever been on this blog#ask to tag#I am as ever on my journey to make calne ca Worse. her OG version is too cool. even the crab ver is too cool#I need her to be worse to look at. I am also getting myself into to mood to test my hand at boarding a pmv for my friend's cover#I think my thought for this was ''I should try and give her a more insectoid bodyplan''#which in this mostly means gently three-part body and six limbs (my favourite amount of limbs to draw rn)#actually almost gave her eight but didnt like how that silhouette came out so I mermaided her uh. abdomen I guess#though maybe next time I do this I should push that idea more. the head and torso are still very distinct for one unified part#I feel like one of my old attempts was onto something with like. a more horizontal body plan... well! live and learn etc#happy late mid autumn I guess. I should play with touys about it... I miss model kits. mayhaps...

One wedding and three funerals
Background paintings under the cut
#tomgreg#succession#tom wambsgans#greg hirsch#shiv roy#roman roy#kendall roy#yeah no im not tagging everyone thats too much#this is me going 'how much implications themes and symbolism can i fit in one painting'#yes i gave rose shivs haircolor. if we ever find out how she looks like and its not like this im just gonna pass away i guess#but yeah i hope yall connect the dots#i put waaay too much thought and work into this. i was googling pictures of all the actors as kids just for reference (sigh)#honestly kinda wanted to make tom and greg link pinkies as like. a pinkie promise. but that was too hard to draw in this angle#at least not without obstructing the view of the ring which is important to see so ya#my fave is actually the tomshiv wedding pic i went off with that. i love them... they should have run away to become sheep farmers fr fr#anyway im so glad im done with this UGH!! finally i can draw smth else without being like oh noooo i need to finish this#i see a lot of you wondering why there is no portrait of logan but one of ewan#it's bc the placement of the painting represent their standing. logans portray would not hang next to the stairs#his present portrait hangs at the end of it. all the way up at the top. alone and withering away#basically the picture you see underneath ewan to the right? its where toms parents would be. the right side of the wall is tom and gregs#and the left one is the roy siblings theirs. since they grew up rich rich. and tom and greg didn't#but ya thats why ewan hangs here and logan does not :)

sorry are there people who think doctor who is not going to get another season. doctor fucking who? from the nineteen sixties? sixty one year old doctor who? she will be fine
#the bbc hung its centennial on doctorwho. they’ve got all that fucking disneybucks.#oh the most beloved show basically ever isn’t talking about their next season what are we going to do.#is it because facebook bigots in their forties are reviewbombing it. how do we prevent this. girl you don’t need to#it’s fine. this has been happening with startrek for years and it still hasn’t gone broke due to going woke. it’s fine#addendum that if tumblr existed in the eighties I am certain this post would have existed then too and then I would have looked a right fool#but it’s not the eighties it’s now. so I’m going to be fine as well

Embrace the truth
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan jingyi#lan sizhui#lan xichen#lan wangji#wei wuxian#WWX uses NMJ's abs as part of his evidence for identification. LXC is allowed to use his familiar embrace as his evidence.#We are now entering the slow burn arc of 'Lan Xichen continues to lose everything he cared about'.#He has his love of fishing + his good friendship with JGY + his brother. I hope nothing happens to any of those things#Not that its in character for *anyone* present to have the emotional intelligence for it - but man LXC is having a very hard time#Trying to pin his sworn brother as a murderer *right* after identifying the mystery body as his other sworn brother?#of *course* he's defensive! You gave him no time to process!#He's gonna need a lot of time by the pond to cope#The original joke had LXC copping a feel on those glutes and recognizing him that way. Which now looking back *was* funnier#sigh...I need to trust my gut a bit more#Next time on PD-MDZS: They just show up in Jinlin Tai because I want to plot to keep moving

Photos at Madrid's Victory ball! 💃
We attended our first ball! It was such a dreamlike experience!! It was also our first time doing Regency reenactment so it was a challenge. We haphazardly put together some looks, had a great time learning more about the fashion and the dances and met a bunch of lovely people from all over the world. The palace was stunning, the live band was wonderful and the food delicious, it was an unforgettable night 🥰
#nips photos#personal#regency era#historical fashion#historical reenactment#napoleonic era#Spanish independence#everyone looked stunning this event felt so surreal#walking around the palace halls filled with people dancing and eating and chatting felt like time travel#the dancing was so fun too I have some videos AHHH I can't wait for the next one!! hopefully in november#there were many events these days I'll share more soon#we participated in the official reenactment of the battles at the royal palace too we were on tv and all lmao#I really need to get a fancier outfit for the next one!! we had to get ready in ONE HOUR for this ball#just curling my hair takes like 30 minutes sjkfhsf 😭 it was a mess#I looked ridiculous but Nicolas was very handsome and we had a great time so I don't care!!#nips blogs

WHY has no one talked about these panels. fuck it its 12 am (at the time of me "finishing" (<- not even close) writing this, its nearly 2 am) im going to talk about them
ahem.
before i get to the Main Point i wanna discuss chils tendency to spiral into his thoughts
like, sure, yeah, he's a reasonable guy. real logical-- but he tends to rush through so many possibilities and in this scene even berates himself for his tiny mistake. every thought in this scene goes so fast to me here, just "snap snap snap, call for help, no thatll attract too much attention- wait is there a switch? crap its too far away- nevermind lets just wait for marcille- but can i trust her with that?? god im so stupid, am i just gonna be trapped here until morning???" and it takes a moment for him to stabilise and snap out of it
like... he even has a little pep talk about it
i guess you could take this as him merely being a quick thinker? but i highly doubt it -- look at this fucking guy.
anyways. hes always got to be eased out of it one way or another, whether that be complainerism (self-explanatory), strategising with another person (that way all the insecure thoughts get pushed to the back in favour of working together), reassuring himself (discussed above) or...
you. could.
distract him.
place a brick wall in front of that zooming train of thought and watch it crash and burn :)
he doesnt even respond in that first pic, by the way. in fact, he doesnt say anything for another 3 (and a bit) pages, and by then the topic has been safely switched (granted those three pages are just marcille and laios making the familiars, but i feel it still stands that there was no response at all, not even visually)
secondly, in that other instance -- see how his eyes go wide as saucers when contact is made? and how they turn into pinpricks once he looks back**? god. and. like.
oh. fuck. ive gottta continue this in a reblog since ive reached the picture limit on mobile -- i am not even a THIRD of a way through all my thoughts on this- we didnt even get to my footnote!! sit tight everyone :)
#yeah i think theyre touchy even if they dont realize it#like poke poke nudge nudge pat pat#(not to mention the fact that theyre often Right Next To Eachother)#um. ill main tag this cause i want people to see it soooo bad (+ im in need of more chilaios warriors...)#dungeon meshi spoilers#dungeon meshi#chilchuck#chilchuck tims#laios#laios touden#<- i apologise#and last but not least the star of the show...#chilaios#heehee#ohh all the normal people are gonna look at this post and squint but as long as i can drag in a FEW people my life will have vastly improve#also hello chilaios nation ! WE NEED TO DISCUSS--

There was never a man, like my Johnny...
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar...
#kingdom hearts#demyx#MoM#the master of masters#please dont try to fight me abt this in my notes. nobody needs that smoke#im just having fun :3#we're willing to look into the folklore behind xigbar's title and gun design but lets all take a look at the blatant with the newest info#i think that even if dem doesnt end up being the MoM he's got a really important say in whatever's next. we cant keep ignoring him forever.#they didnt bring his ass out of 2005 for no reason. apparently nomura was cooking this metaphor before the man was even released#and that means something to me#bee draws

You can't tell me our main man Jim, Jim Kirk, James Kirk, James T Kirk, James Tiberius Kirk, CAPTAIN stack of books on legs James Respectful and Sensitive Tiberius Kirk does not know about Vulcan hand touching and their significance.
This man. JAMES KIRK. Looked at Spock, clearly vulcan spock, hands firmly planted behind his back Spock. LOOKED him up and down, and despite absolutely knowing it would not be considered impolite if he didnt offer a hand shake, looked at Spock, tall drink of water Spock, Vulcan sensitive hands used as terms of affection Spock, and was like hmmmm absolutely will make this Vulcan shake my hand. AND SPOCK gave like 1 second of thought before he was like yes absolutely here is my hand to hold for you and you only. I AM DECEASED
#yea so I woke up still crazy about Them Meeting#snw#when will I get off my bullshit#remember when I was like ohhh boohoo the show is good without kirk we dont need a kirk and spock meet up#remember that#I FUCKING LIED#they gave me like 10 seconds of these two white boys looking at each other and holding hands and I HAVE BECOME UNHINGED#thank u snw writers for this blessing#LOWER DECKS LIVE ACTION EPISODE NEXT WEEK OMG#I WANT BOIMLER TO MEET KIRK SO BAD#I want Mariner to 1000% ask Spock where Kirk is#and also for her to be like huh you look different then I thought you would#AHHHHHHH I AM SCREAMING#spirk#star trek#ty

ladies, I need to wander despondently across a foggy moor asap
#*this also applies to the not-ladies among us#y'all deserve a good pensive ramble across a moor in a really cool greatcoat#just be sure you don't turn it into anything vigorous#this is not the time to be Aragorn we are looking for Jonathan Harker pre-Dracula at best#in regards to the moor: a wind-swept cliffside would also be suffice#it would NOT do wonders for my health of course but hey#fortunately the bestie and I have plans to go hiking next weekend and if we don't have another option I'm gonna beg for the hemlock trail#I'd also take the cedar springs#I just need Nature that isn't the beach#in other news I am happy to report that the week is smoothing itself out somewhat#we're all still on edge but it's not as bad as it was and we've effectively kicked loose the pebble in the the shoe#my darling sister sent me a gift and told me to treat myself so I may get bubble tea after work#and I begged for tomorrow off so I can sleep and then spend the day coughing in peace#(this is such a bizarre cold. I didn't get any of the preliminaries outside of some sneezing)#(and then it was straight to my chest. not even a sore throat first! usually I get a lot of build up and can often get ahead of a bad cough#(thankfully my nose is not congested. I suppose that's the trade-off)#so I'll sleep in and then I may sort some of the filing I'm taking home from the office#by then I'll likely have completely lost my voice#AND I have ingredients for chili because for once I planned ahead. might even make some of my favorite rolls as well.#and then next week...I start a second job#(super simple and it's 2 hours max every evening. once I figure it out it could be an hour tops unless I decide to take it slow)#(the pay is great for the job and it'll give me something to do instead of just...I dunno...reading through the winter I suppose)#(sorry my head is in such a fog I don't know how I'm surviving work)#mine#greatest hits
