#the fall of the house of usher #mike flanagan #tfothou #tfothouedit #flanaverse #(mine)#(i was looking for a generic gif set to put my little thoughties in the tags but there aren't any???)#(or not yet maybe??? hrmpff so i'll do it myself then!)#it really is becoming a flanaverse - again there were little things and phrasings carried over from the other shows #i can only remember the carcass of a house right now but there were more #i can't wait to see everybody's little posts and theories and comparisons!!! 😻#what i haven't seen yet and will come up probably is the angle of the opiod epidemic #some speeches sounded like they came right our of the other netflix series painkiller #which makes me think those quotes might be verbatim lifted from real life although they are so out there that they sound made up (?)#i don't know enough about it but it struck me as too much of a coincidence #spoilers

No but “it’s made you Dennis” is so fucking funny. Getting called out for alcoholism by being directly compared to the god of wine and madness. James you bitch.

#WHO CAME UP WITH THIS PHRASE #okay so we know they made a lil slang dictionary based on the lit they read from 20 years before/after 1845 #so I need to find WHICH BOOK uses this term #how common was this phrase. I must research.#the terror #fitzier

Going Commando

Izzy: "Ugh! This is so frustrating!"

Alec: "What?"

Izzy: "I'm want to know why not wearing underwear is called 'going commando', but the internet has about 8 different origins for it and none of them have a definitive verification."

Clary: "… Maybe it's more comfortable? For soldiers? I mean, it does stem from military usage, right?"

Izzy, turning to the guys: "So? Is it more comfortable, or does it just swing around down there and chafe more?"

Alec, Jace and Simon, red in the face and stuttering: "Y-y-you can't just ask stuff like that!"

Magnus: "Barring any strenuous activity, you don't really notice the swinging. It depends on what you are wearing, mostly. Tracksuits and other softer material pants are fine. Jeans can get a little chafy. And then there are some pants where you just don't want to have any underwear lines showing through. Like silk pants."

Alec: "… You are wearing silk pants right now."

Magnus, smirking: "I am."

#magnus bane #alec lightwood #shadowhunters tv #malec #malec headcanons #jace herondale #izzy lightwood #clary fairchild #magnus out here just answering dick questions as if he is talking about the weather.#I actually tried to find the origin for the phrase and there are literally so many explanations for it #and I couldn't make out which one is true #and then I brought this up in a discord group #and then we speculated about it and came to the conclusion that we needed to ask someone with a dick #so my friend just wrote her husband #and this is literally what he said #he is very used to his wife asking him weird questions.#I love them both.#*he didn't say that part about silk pants - that’s purely Magnus

Hey, hey! RnR not requested! (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #DAX #ZEX #Does anyone still use RnR lol #I think I was a little too late for that but in my brief stint on FF.net I did get a couple reviews so *shruggles*#ANYway lol #The topic of VUX poetry came up and it would not leave me alone #But at the same time it is so hard to English-phoneticize VUK ZIX into my preferred poetry method!#So I gave up and went with a playground chant lol #I also wasn't sure which direction it would be read in apart from bottom-up :0 #Japanese is top-down right-to-left so maybe it's inverse?? I don't know!#That's what I went with this time anyhow lol #Also making up rules on the spot lol - ''a'' is always contextually inferred by its surroundings #Have I thought about the implications of inferred subject/singular vs. plural phrasing? No! Give me some time tho ♪#Lol #I have also pretty firmly come to the conclusion that -ing sounds just aren't a thing lol #At least not written and not comfortably spoken #You could force the sound but it's exactly what it says on the tin - forced #So the rhyme-scheme is a bit funny haha - that rhyme doesn't translate at all! But it is still fun to write a little ship-poem hehe #ZEX does not approve but it's not his poem is it! Tentacles to yourself! Don't stick your trunk where it's not wanted!#I do love when DAX is silly and lovestruck haha

silly to me how cis people have like 3 things they know to say to trans people to be supportive. not being negative here, support is good no matter what, but it is ridiculous in practice when a guy is finally normal about me being trans and the first thing he can think to say in response is, “don’t worry, no matter what, you’re still Bug to me.” like yeah, sir, that’s nice, but who else would I be? you didn’t know me pre-transition?? you just met me. i started transitioning three years ago.

#to be clear: it was sweet and i did appreciate it #it was just also a situation in which a phrase he’s obviously heard before as support came barrelling up against the reality of it not #making a lick of sense in the context of him supporting *me* specifically

#im back from a week with my dad at home and at the lake #it was really nice to b home for a while but now im a mess lol #bc it really makes me wanna move back to Appalachia and not do another semester out here #and also this was our 1st trip to the lake without my mom being there. she loved the lake. she grew up on the water and was named after an #island. she died before she could use our new jetski. which my dad bought for her and she would have loved #and i stood in her sandles bc my dad keeps them out by the fireplace and my toes fit almost exactly into the impressions of her feet #and i came come with another bag full of her clothes. and i feel bad for my dad being all alone in that big house #i mean hes got the dogs but theyre 7 and 8 and theyre big boys so they probably dont have all that long left. itll be so sad when they die.#there was a moment where i was talking to the dogs and he said i sounded exactly like my mom. which was kinda intentional #on my part bc i say a lot of things bc she would say them. stolen phrases and intonations. pieces of things ive taken.#its still weird that she's just gone forever. the time in the hospital feels like it was some horrible nightmare.#and now shes never gonna kno where we end up. she's left rooms full of half tumbled rocks and half sorted photos and half organized #classroom supplies. the outlines of a person that will slowly be stitched out of existance as time moves on until theres nothing left and #the memories are gone. its just sad is all. especially bc she didnt deserve it. no one does but expecally not her.#but unfortunately life isnt about getting what you deserve. its chaos and coincidence all the way down.#unrelated

#it's quite a while that i do a really long rant here #but i really need to get all the shit out from my mind and clear everything inside my brain #and yeah it's actually related with yesterday's race actually #i mean we all always saying that never let sports ruin or dictate our own emotions and other phrases that related with this #but in a serious matter it really really exhausted my mind and honestly yesterday is the peak of it #and the fact is before the race start i was feeling so happy that srg wins mpl malaysia for 2nd time #and i say to myself that whatever happens during the race i should be happy that my fav esports team wins another title this year #but yeah....the race happens and it all just chaos...i mean not that usual chaos but i feel it's even worse #especially after the race #like seriously i should have stay away from any social medias for a while today #because i know how awful the vibes and environment there (and here as well tbh)#but yeah 🥲🥲🥲#like i really expecting that f1 is the only sports out of other sports that i'm getting into with #that i really feel mentally drained and doesn't makes me feel any joy by enjoying it at some point #but yesterday...that's the peak of it #i'm just getting more and more tired of the whole thing happens in f1 #and the real life 'job' (more like uni life) doesn't even help me brighten up my mood either #where during app development my group is having a really though situation to going back from the start #in which we had some conflicting on some of the solutions are as same as other one group #and forreal all my groupmates were just fed up thinking about how to came up with new ideas #so yeah it's just this past few hours are just mentally emotionally physically drained out #like i really need to take a break for a while but idk i'm sure #i'll starting to get more and more tasks and assignment for the next few days *sigh*#nahhhhhh i know it's really long rant but i just want to be in a good headspace rn

Hi this is a vent post! Continue scrolling if you'd rather not see that

#Giving time...#Still more time...#Wouldn't want to plague any previews #Maybe another filler. Just for some fun #Is this enough?#It certainly is now #Alright start:#I'm so bored. I am so incredibly; intrinsically; entirely bored. I have been taught the same thing for four years straight #'It's only four years!' that's literally a quarter of my lifetime right there. My formative years are being spent stressed and in a state /#/of constant self-loathing #I was watching a YT video and the phrase 'attention-starved STEM major' came up and I was like. Yea #What am I even working towards? The hope that my version of capitalist hell isn't as bad as everyone else's? I'm just so sick of not /#/having a stable future what with politics and normal working people becoming more and more oppressed #I don't want to work and that's not because I'm lazy. It's because my brain is recognising that there is no reward anymore #I used to have such a little spark in Yr7. I remember having things to say and wanting to share everything I've done #I still do that now; sure I do. I don't enjoy it though #I thought I liked drawing but I'm realising that all I really like is the attention. I COULD draw things I like drawing... but then I /#/ don't get attention which my mind then classifies as zero reward #I'm very tired of doing things for no credit; reward; or validation.

Ohohoho I got a lot of bite from someone on a Muslim sisters group for saying we could in fact be friends with Christians and be in a church (so long as we aren't doing any worship and whatnot).

She said we aren't supposed to associate with Christians at all and even being in the church "mimics them" or whatever and I was leading this sister (who asked a question abt a group she's in meeting at a church) astray with incorrect info. Sister those are people of the book. Men can marry Christian and Jewish women, but yet I can't have a Christian friend? I think we're looking at very different things rn.

I was just shocked (idk why tho, I have seen that type of extreme talk on there from some members) she came at me like that 😩 it didn't bother or offend me though. I had a feeling she would bc I saw her comment saying that to the sister asking the question before I made my comment.

#and its not like i phrased it like an opinion of mine either #bc i was in classes #and that question came up bc my dad is a pastor and i go to the nonreligious events #and the teacher said it was okay to be in the church so long as you didnt participate in any rituals or religious activity #which is what i said in the comment #i was actually more shocked thats what she focused on #bc the sister asking the question said she was in a choir group that meets at a church #so i thought people would get on her about music and singing as well #but no one mentioned it

i’m honestly not all that pressed about not knowing what the veil is (<- guy who is the num one garden enjoyer and never wants a concrete answer on what it actually is) but i also sort of keep coming back to the important part of it just being like. it’s name. the veil as in the veil between life and death. the veil as the in ‘beyond the veil’. destiny is a game about death in like four trillion different ways and the division between light and dark isn’t quite as simple as light = life and darkness = death but there is a division there and to me the veil seems like a connection across that line. the traveler is a dead thing and the veil opens a hole in its heart but the veil itself also feels like the traveler. it requires both the light and darkness to open that direction. the visual of your ghost (your GHOST!!) floating up towards it and drifting away from you. it’s rooted in darkness. it’s imitated and mirrored in the garden, a place of life. it’s the matrix for the un-death of the cloudark. the witness uses it to go to a plane we can’t follow it to. it’s even underground. am i making any sense

#pers #227 #lightfall spoilers #i wrote this up a few weeks ago but ran into the word veil in a handful of places in the shadowkeep lore this morning and #was thinking of it again. both in reference to the garden and in kuang xuan’s notes #i’ve also seen the comparison to fungi which i also realy like #but to me speaks to the same thing and the connection between the living and the dead!!!#genuinely just playinh yhroeigh the campaign i ended up thinking of the phrase beyond the veil almost every time it was mentioned #so o walked away feeling like i understood it from that perspective. yk???#was also ruminating on destiny and how it’s a story about death RIGHT before lf came out #and found a lot of my thoughts extremely validated (garden as catharsis!!!!) so it was on the mind from that too #anyways. idk if this ACTUALLY makes sense but it’s enough for me!!!

sorry im a god gale truther btw i DO think he should get to usurp mystra and ascend to godhood and i do think that should be an absolutely awful thing to happen to him but also literally everyone else. sorry

#bg3 #not main tagging this further bc its. mad man 1:30am rambles #but listen. mh.#ok so. heres the thing.#while i do think. their relationship was absolutely fucked. and yeah we can argue for grooming and or abuse.#i also dont QUITE enjoy how ppl make gale like. the poor poor totally blameless victim. like. mh #how to phrase this so it DOESNT sound victim blame-y. but like.#from how i interpret the things he told & what the game shows.#my mans REALLY struggles with No's and rejection. and i wouldn't just put that as a Mystra Aftermath Thing #he WAS forbidden from trying to ascend/was told by her she wouldnt make him an equal. and his response basically was.#'but let me prove i am worthy of this'#which yeah. plays into the fucked up self worth. ill get back to that.#plus the uh. touch the orb scene? he just. grabs your hand and pulls it towards him because he WANTS to show you this. Now.#any rejection within the relationship? I Should Blow Myself Up #he got that gifted kid energy of everything always came easily to him and yet it wasnt ever enough and the relationship w a literal goddess.#certainly didnt help that.#so hes constantly reaching for more. and thats a fault of his because he will do that even if told not to because #at the same time he thinks of himself as smart enough to actually Get to that More.#and yknow w the orb? he literally. got So Badly Burned. is it deterring him? nnnnnnot really.#and i think. godhood would. idk i think he could do it. and i think it still wouldn't be enough.#and having an all powerful deity who ALSO a) still never is satisfied with his amount of power and control and b) thinks he know better than #anyone and could do better than anyone #sounds like its gonna fucking suck #anyways im rotating this all in my brain + ofc the delicious bloodweave combo of ascended astarion + new god gale bc thats just. ough #the mess. of this combo.

Did Gordon name Percy after Mr. Percival?? That's amazing akfjghdklfgldkfhg

(Also yes it is me again, I know this is my third ask in a day lol I might have to think up an anon name for when I send asks-)

It's actually derived from canon! Or at least my reason for calling him so is. I believe it's Dragon Run in which they mention his full name is Percival in the AEG canon. I think that's something that's exclusive to AEG, actually. Which is fun! But in the au, I don't see why not! It'd be a really sweet little tie-in, I actually quite like that idea. Gordon seems like the kind of sentimental person to name his kid after someone. Thanks, anon!

#ttte #all engines go #ttte aeg #all engines go au #my au #ttte au #Children of Sodor Au #I hope you don't mind me adopting that for the au lol #also please do think of a name for yourself!! stick around! I love talking abt this au!!#realized the way I phrased the original post related to Percy's name makes it seem like I came up with the idea which isn't rlly true lol #It is canon actually!! fun facts with Wolf :)

some of you need to learn to be less personally offended by writers saying “canon is just the things that explicitly happen in the show/book/movie”

#can’t believe i’m defending n*il g*iman i don’t even like the guy’s books and i have a tumblr vendetta against him #i genuinely don’t know much about him as a person except that he married am*nda p*lmer and therefore has extremely questionable judgment #so despite how much this website loves to throw the term parasocial around i have no parasocial attachment to him i just care about facts #but i just read two blog posts of his (including a pre-tumblr one)#that people linked as ‘proof’ of him being homophobic to aziraphale/crowley shippers before the tv show came out #and they were literally just. completely reasonable posts saying ‘the text of the book does not say that they’re in a relationship #and things i say online or in interviews should not be taken as canon and neither should popular fan interpretations’#i think people were mad because he phrased it as ‘making things up’? but in context it clearly wasn’t meant as an insult #it was just a way to differentiate ‘things that are explicitly in the text’ and ‘things that you have to use your imagination for’#at no point did he say anything bad about shippers he just said that it wasn’t textual canon in the book. which is objectively true lol #and even then the more recent post was like ‘it’s not book canon but tv canon is different’ like he literally was supporting it lmao #idk maybe i’m not offended bc i’m not a shipper #but i really think you’ve gotta read those posts in the absolute worst faith possible to interpret them as homophobic/anti-shipper

More than anything else I will always say that my gender is masculine flavored nonbinary.

#nonbinary #transmasc #which is funny bc I originally came up with that phrase referencing Sundrop #but like. realized it fits #Sundrop and I have the same gender except he’s more lollipop #no I will not elaborate
