hi milgram tumblr

i tried to . write an english version of cat. but hinako pov

enjoy

EDIT: FUCK THERE WAS ONE(1) TYPO YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT

Hold back the crying, and hope the lie is lying, pray there was No play all along

-

Since when, how long then, have I been feeling this way about you?

If I was let down then, I would take it over being lied to

I only wanted you to know,

to feel what I feel

I only wanted you to love

But did you ever even know how to?

Can I forgive you, for just trying?

-

I thought when I looked at you

That the love I found was true

But at last you said it was all a lie,

So why did you and I even try?!

-

Ah, love, joy, all of that

It's broke, gone, say goodbye

So sickly-sweet and sugar coated, with candles all blown out

Ah, love times half a heart

It's one big copping-out

How simple could it be to keep your all hidden from me?

-

Hold back the crying, and hope the lie is lying, pray there was No play all along

-

Whew, what a long day of work…

Hey, could you come talk to me for a sec? I think I have something I want to tell you.

-

I only wanted to take that

One chance I had then

I only wanted to be sure

But even after “sure”, then what happens?

Were we done before we had started?

-

The beating you put in my heart, was it worth playing the part?

Right from then ‘til now, we were drifting apart,

And the paint has faded from the art, oh

-

What is he doing? Was I in the wrong?

What will he tell me? Oh, this tension's making me shake

What is he saying? Now what's going on?

Why did he tell me? Oh, it makes my heart break

-

I need some time to think…

-

Ah, love, joy, all of that

It's broke, gone, say goodbye

All the clawing that you had at me, was none of that enough?

My heart's marked, front to back, like a post for you to scratch

And covered with the scent of all the lies, that you built up

-

Hold back the crying, and hope the lie is lying, pray there was No play all along

There's no more trying, the "love" we had is dying, there is No more playing along

Bitty update! Or I guess bitties (bittys?) update since there's apparently two of them now.

I didn't expect to see much of them after that last encounter since they seemed pretty unhappy about me getting too close, but I kept leaving out food and keeping my eyes peeled just in case. A lot of people have been saying to leave jerky but I haven't been able to find any so I've been leaving out bread and ham, is this okay for them?

Anyway, the other day when I was on my lunch break I saw the horror bitty scurrying around again. He saw me and disappeared which I expected, but then he came back and just kinda sat across from me and ate?? I didn't want to say anything in case it spooked him so we just sort of ate lunch together in silence, but I did try and take a sneaky picture

Is this good? Is this normal for bitties? When he was finished eating he just got up and walked off and I didn't see where he went, but I assume he's not super scared of me if he sat and ate so close right?

Also I found this cute little ketchup jar, I've been keeping it in the fridge since it's been warm in work and I thought they'd like a cool treat. Well I found it like this the other day so I guess that's a yes lol

At the beginning it was Narumi's impulsive and impatient ass that'd rush to any yamazon order he sees delivered to the base and grab them all for himself before checking for the possibility that some of them might not be his...

But after one too many times getting scolded by your, getting his ear pulled or getting into a heated argument with you- right in front of many people no less- He sees the fruit garden of an opportunity as it is, and decides to use it for his advantage.

Especially when the orders /are/ delivered to his person by accident.

Who can blame the poor delivery guys though? They are giving the boxes to him by muscle memory at this point- sick of coming back to the base doors day after day and always the same darn name on the papers: Narumi Gen

Meanwhile Narumi enjoys seeing the growing frustration on your person when the telltale message of "orders delivered" has arrived yet there is nothing in sight. Some orders have you worried more than the others, piquing his interest and going as far as to try his chances every once in a while when he's feeling bold: "Oh? You want these so badly? Then beg"

(It results with a hardcover book of yours meeting with the crown of his head every single time. Always a different book and the current one always heavier than the previous...)

People You May Know

For @drarrymicrofic prompt: follow.

@HarryPotter has requested to follow you.

Draco blinks at his phone, frowns, and then refreshes the page.

@HarryPotter has requested to follow you.

Fuck. Not a glitch, then.

Maybe it was a mistake. Maybe Potter doesn't know how to rescind a follow request. Maybe Draco showed up under 'People You May Know,' (or, more accurately, if you ask Draco, 'People You Don't Speak To Anymore But Instagram Knows You Have Their Number') and Potter clicked it by accident.

Or maybe not.

"Pansy?" Draco calls across their shared flat. "I need your help."

So, this parallel, right.

That parallel and the 4x11 shadowpeach fight as a whole:

Macaque: "No that's YOU! You're the one always running off! Looking for more power, more sources of immortality—you're the one who wouldn't quit while were were ahead! Not the great sage, he's got to drag EVERYONE else into his mess!" Sun Wukong: "You're not in this mess, you're still free! Everything I did was for us!" Macaque: "You did it for yourself! You've become like this, obsessive demon! I told you going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea, but no, Wukong doesn't listen to anyone! He just does whatever he wants! You put yourself here, not me."

(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)

-

A large part of Wukong's motivation to keep getting more power was the freedom of it—the more power you have the easier it is to do whatever you want. It's easier to ignore everyone else and focus solely on yourself. It's also easier to ensure yourself and your loved one's are protected and have the ability to do what they want.

So, a punishment where the great Monkey King is imprisoned and trapped for hundreds of years? It's effective and tragic and fitting. Wukong wanted to have the freedom to protect the people he cared about, and in trying to reach for the power to do that, he completely had his freedom removed. He went from the mountain, to then the circlet, and then all of a sudden he had morals and was bound to those.

And then I think about his end of s3 choice to go face the Lady Bone Demon alone. Once again Wukong was trying to protect his loved ones (not to mention the whole reason he went after the Samadhi fire to begin with was to have the power, the freedom to stop LBD (which in itself is another case of SWK believing he needed to be stronger for such freedom)), but he also wanted to make sure MK and himself both had agency. He didn't want MK to have to fight LBD, and he didn't want LBD to end the world.

This is exactly the sentiment he tells Macaque in the 4x11 flashback:

Sun Wukong: "It's so we don't have to worry about anything or anyone ever again! Just living a lazy life, sitting in the sun, eatin' fruit, and doing whatever we want!"

But where does it all lead him?

To possession, imprisonment. Once again Wukong no longer had the freedom to do what he wanted (which is to protect the people he cares about). Once again in his attempts to help his loved one's, he only hurt them.

This can be applied to his relationship with Macaque, to MK in s2, hell, even Wukong trying to get the map in the first place left him powerless, which then led to him and the gang being imprisoned in 3x02. It's a familiar pattern, one we see with antagonist and protagonist alike.

MK in s2 trained to become more powerful, which in the end only strengthened LBD and forced him and his friends on the run. Mei in 3x12 protects MK by letting herself get captured and placed into LBD's crystal. Mei in 4x05 goes to protect MK, breaking her sword and leaving her vulnerable to being captured by Kui Mulang ("How am I supposed to protect everyone without my sword?"). DBK reached for more power and then became possessed by LBD, hurting his wife and son. Azure reached for the Jade Emperor's power and bound himself to that role, jeopardizing Peng and Yellowtusk in the process.

It's a cycle of reaching for power, endangering others, and then being imprisoned.

So anyways, here's why MK is going to lose control (his agency) next season and hurt his friends with his own- *get's shot*

I HAD A SUDDEN URGE TO DO THIS HAHA (possible more to come? Possibly soon?)

It Spreads is a lovely comic created by the legendary @foxxology and in celebration of its 1 year anniversary they did a dtiys that I absolutely had to participate in!

Go check out the comic if you haven’t! Seriously, it’s a really good read with great art, go read it! (I linked it twice for further emphasis!!)

NOOOOOOO DETECTIVE WILLIAMS WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU NEED MORE TIME YOU AND YOUR WIFE WERE MY FAVOURITE COUPLE!!!!!!

[notbecauseofvictories]

i would love to know the name of the mediocre horror movie so that i too may have thoughts

Unfortunately for all of us, it was Abigail (2024). There's something about a horror movie that's mostly blood and screaming...but with a tantalizing mention of a complex, cracked-mirror world slightly offscreen. It drives me nutty.

[humanmorph]

this is so funny

Ok so if there are any Epic the musical fans out there in the tdc fandom…

Every single time I hear the first minute of “Open arms” the tdc brain rot consumes me and I imagine Kylan as Polities singing to Rian trying to cheer him up mid rebellion 😭😭

Concept sketch :) I rlly wanted to draw Kylan
