I'm gonna be honest I'm like 10 chapters in and I am HORRIBLY confused but I am often confused when reading books with a lot of stuff in it and. This one has a lot of stuff. I like it though 👍 (even if it does feel like I picked up the second one instead of the first)
don't worry, you're supposed to be confused! I'd be surprised and question whether you were actually reading the book if you weren't.
part of it is just that the world is both completely new and very complex and part of it is that it's a complex plot related to a lot of information you don't have yet (and aren't supposed to have, as you're intended to discover it through trial and error alongside the characters).
these are the kinds of books where you're meant to reread them, since info you learn later changes your understanding of what's happening now, even though you don't know it yet. Lyons is quite thorough with it. but i promise it does make sense with time! I can even identify who the main characters are now!
anyway, glad to hear you're liking it!! it's not for everyone, but I am thrilled to share it with anyone curious. I'm going to explode :)
#a chorus of dragons#the ruin of kings#quil's queries#nonsie#it's always SO fun when someone reads them#i say as if I've been doing this a while and not just completely descending into this series the past few months#that's like nothing in fandom times#but guys I think I'm here for the long haul#also! fun fact about this series!#very small fandom with the author semi-present on social media means that you can interact with her sometimes#someone on the discord said she's responded to their tweets a few times#and she commented on my kihrin art on ig#which was like fucking whiplash#anyway back to you!#jumping up and down clapping my hands so so excited#!!!!!!

hey brennan what the fuck
#the emotional whiplash of this episode was genuinely insane i think i was about to burst into tears at some point and then they cut to the#fucking commercial. vic michaelis and brennan lee mulligan i ADORE you brennan you did not have to go as hard as you did on this one#this felt like a literal fever dream#like i don't even know if i fully understand it rn the last bit w vic and the radio was a bit open to interpretation#ALL of it felt open to interpretation but like. in an insane way#someone suggested host vic has dreams of/hallucinates these guests to escape from the mundanity of her real job and they try to teach smth#i dont like the dream trope but that would be v interesting#someone also said they were in a time loop which would be. intriguing#anyways i will miss this show so much someone said it was greenlit for s2 too so i'm crossing my fingers thats legit#vip spoilers#very important people spoilers#very important people#dropout#vic michaelis#brennan lee mulligan#vip

"Is [Barkov] a normal dude? Meaning like—is he just like, you're having a cheeseburger some day and he's like 'Oh, no, no, no! I need this, I need the superfoods,' like is he kind-of... is he a normal guy?" "'Is that Wagyu or no?'" "'I need, you know, the best of the best,' Like how is he?" "He's undercover really funny, especially when you get to know him. I don't think he said much for the first 3 to 5 years. But I always joke with him I've never been invited to his house and we've played together for 10 years." "Dude, Brandon Montour said the same thing! We had him on last year! He's like, 'Dude, he's never had us over! We're always like—' But he doesn't live by all you guys, right? He kind-of lives a little further out?" "Yeah, he lives 20-30 minutes away in Boca [Raton.] But, yeah, no I—Listen, it's just his personality. It's who he is, and we respect him for it. Like I said, he's a really funny guy when you get to know him, and sometimes he's got those one-liners. And, you know, he's one of those perfect humans, right? You know, one of the guys we all strive to be, and we'll all come short forever, but—yeah, he's a good person."
The Cam & Strick Podcast | 7.30.24 (x)
i hope this bit never ends if not for the fact that each time ekky has to say it he has to add another year to it which adds to the comedy of it all
"Hey, who's got the best setup on your team with the Panthers? When all the boys get together, 'We're going to your crib. We're gettin' on the jet skis,' whatever. Who's got the best setup?" "Yeah, um—Aaron [Ekblad]'s probably...I mean, Aaron's been there the longest. Hopefully, Barkov hears this! He's been there the longest, but he never invites the boys over to his house!" "Oh~ Barky!" "Is he cheap?" "I'm gonna call Barky out right now, and see if he can invite the whole team over next year..." "Is he cheap? Is he cheap? What is it?" "Will he do it?" "Oh, he's up in 9 East—obviously, like quiet, unbelievable guy, but he's the only up in Boca [Raton.] So I don't know if anybody wants to even drive up to Boca..." "Oh, Fancyland Zone..." "What do you mean? How far is that away from where you are? Like, and everybody else?" "Yeah, we're all in Ft. Lauderdale, Las Olas—within probably... you know some families are in Parkland by the arena, but we're all within probably 10 minutes away and he's up 30, 40 minutes away so."
The Cam & Strick Podcast | 7.25.23 (x)
the boys ribbing sasha for living so far away and never inviting them to his house but still going btw hes amazing and incredible and perfect and sososo good we say this to tease him but like this is just who he is as a person and we accept that so please dont misconstrue this into something its not this is a joke and we dont take it to heart
and on that topic its really a shame that NA media doesnt know how fucking funny and how absolutely unserious he can be. I understand the notion of diligent no-nonsense captain is a prevalent idea (which he is lets make that clear he takes hockey so seriously) but especially since this season hes said hes cut down on weight so he could skate faster (and the results show) so i understand where the questions are coming from knowing the track record but also
we've won a cup and hes ramped it up its fantastic and this is one of my favourite examples of it of how quippy he can be
happy to talk about my cappy!!! happy to tease my cappy!!!
"and you know hes one of those perfect humans right? you know one of the guys we all strive to be, and we'll all come short forever but yeah he's a good person" do you also cry about how terribly fond and sincere ekky gets about sasha
#aaron ekblad#aleksander barkov#brandon montour#florida panthers#the ever evolving “ive never been invited to his house in nth years” bit#a part of me is like itd be funnier if ekky never gets invited over#ekky teasing sasha but very quickly switching to sincerity like we accept him and love him for who he is#do you want me to die#“hes one of those perfect humans right” and other normal things to say about your captain#(writes down) ekky has used perfect to describe oel forsy and sasha#the list ever grows#”one of the guys we all strive to be and we'll all come short forever but yeah hes a good person” EKKY WHAT THE FUCK#THATS AN ADMISSION AND A HALF AINT IT#GOOD HEAVENS#i think a lot about ekky having a tendency to look away and down to focus on what hes saying#but looking up and engaging eyecontact when hes giving sincere praise#the whiplash i get seeing him switch between trying to joke about it (“well all come short forever”) and being sincere (“hes a good person”)#to which he schools his face

doing my spn rewatch & they really said
when sam was younger he played on a soccer team long enough to go to championships with them:)
[2 secs later]
in sixth grade dean was making guns :D
#the way i'm not even exaggerating the time btwn lines like the writers said that whiplash needs to be IMMEDIATE#casual reminders abt how differently the boys grew up despite living in each others pockets and in the same motel rooms#also dean's comment abt how sam on the soccer team was the closest he came to being a boy#which is obv meant to be continuing his teasing abt sam behaving/looking girly#but could also be so easily interpreted as him reminiscing the days when his baby brother got to just be a child#was dean even old enough to be part of a little league before the fire or no since its almost certain he didn't get to do any of that after#john winchester when i fucking catch you#spn rewatch#bad day at black rock#sam and dean#sam winchester#dean winchester

Taking a break from ArtFight, sooo back to the Madoka AU, and next up is Goodsir :D
(Details under the cut)
As a magical girl: makes his deal with Kyubey after the funeral of David Young. He's emotional, so the phrasing is faulty: "I don't want anyone else to die like he did." Which results in, well, the variety of deaths we see in canon. He eventually realizes the impact he's had, which of course contributes to his despair levels.
As a witch: turns into one during his preparations to poison the mutineers - without noticing. The formation of his Barrier has a creeping lack of abruptness; it envelops the mutineer camp almost tenderly, like a milky fog. Hickey is the first to realize what's happening and summon his own magic.
On the inside, the Barrier is shaped like a conch shell, with empty medicine bottles stuck uselessly in the walls. At the heart of the spiral floats Haagen, the punishing witch, its curly hair spilling like tears from under the pristine executioner mask. Its arms are melded into something between a hug and a saw. It's weighed down by guilt, so it cannot move all the way around the Barrier, instead sending its monkey-like minions to sniff out witches among the visitors.
This one will only attack directly if you come close, but the noxious fumes of its Barrier, like smoke from wet wood, wear intruders down quickly enough. Though Des Voeux and a couple others succumb, Hickey manages to take the witch down and uses its Grief Seed. He also offers it to Crozier later, but Crozier feeds it to Kyubey instead.
A witch is bound to doom as many people as it saved while still being a magical girl. Goodsir doesn't kill many because he didn't manage to save many.
#the soul gem passage#puella magi madoka magica#the terror#harry goodsir#i know this design looks like a cheap horror monster but to be fair with goodsir's black-and-white thinking that's exactly what he'd become#his own idea of the enemy#(which he cannot see because his eyes are overgrown)#(he's one of those witches who just don't accept they're witches now)#unsanitary#clusters#creepy tw#digital art#krita#artists on tumblr#body horror#i guess#and yeah he'd attack by raising his arm(s) in front of him and spinning round like a fucking ballerina#to give his attention to everyone around him. like a good doctor#(fuckkkk this post looks so funny next to my latest artfight attack. the whiplash)

i really do hate jjk
#i just can't quit this fucking fandom#but i hate this series now#like the core narrative issues drive me insane#everyone deserved better#especially yuuji deserved better#the culling games is such a pointless??? arc???#that stalls progression of both the narrative and yuuji's character development#i know everyone's loving the new chapter but honestly i dont think its earned#i think gege skipped the best time he had to actually allow sukuna and yuuji time to breathe as characters#but its more than that#nothing about the culling games narratively leads into this finale#its a complete waste of space#everything about this feels so unearned becuase gege also didn't give anyone except like...nanami's death time to breathe#and don't get me started on nobara#gojo's death i would've been fine with if he hadn't played it as shock value#that's not even the thing that made me nope out#it was choso's death#and the immediate whiplash to todo's entrance#which was so fucking infuriating#like at least when nobara died we got time to sit with that and for yuuji to have feelings before todo came in#but here its like oh no are you sad well NOT ANYMORE look its TODO#to the complete BULLSHIT that was yutajo#i love tragedy but tragedy needs to say something#its gotta be worth it#this just feels like pointless nihilistic bullshit#and that's what im not here for#it makes me mad when gege writes good character interactions now because its like#we could've had this the whole time#you're so good at this#but you just fucking refuse to

anyone else up getting sick of hyper-cynic contrarianism that serves no real constructive purpose? or is that just me?
#it seems everyone's getting mad because mike's doing the exorcist and carrie now also apparently#and I'm like? bro leave the man be let him cook#like I get it people have remake/reboot fatigue and considering the wuthering heights thing like I get the concern#but a lot of major complaints about his adaptations really boil down to 'it's not like the book! harumph!'#when like. that's just boring. aren't you bored? if you want the book go read the book??? don't watch the show it's so easy#and in fairness it feels a lot with his stuff that he would rather be telling his own stories but in the current studio culture that shit i#difficult as fuck (considering how hard it was for him to get midnight mass made that's not a hard thing to figure out)#and honestly his adaptations have done a much better job at sticking with the gothic theming and framework and telling stories that#have weight in that space and converse with the source material well enough that it's not complete whiplash and change of theme when it#comes down to it but also puts his own spin on things which is better than just a bland as balls 1:1 remake (impossible task) so????#bro just say you like books and move on like I don't know what to tell you at this point. sorry you don't like to engage in the#conversational nature of adaptation between artistic mediums and that this one guy does it a lot in a way you don't like but like???#skill issue dude I'm gonna have fun with all that

#no one’s gonna pick date but god that’d be a funny option#he’d be supportive but also would be so caught off guard and so uneducated on the topic he’d say just. the stupidest shit#and you KNOW kiryu would just say it out of the fucking blue. date would probably drop a glass or something behind the counter. whiplash#anyway honestly it’s always been hard for me to pick between haruka and daigo- haruka obviously is the number one most important person to#him and if he’s gonna be that vulnerable with anyone it’s most likely gonna be her#HOWEVER. if he (miraculously) picked up on daigo never having an interest in women and having at least one close male companion that was a#liiiiitttttle too close to be Just a companion#then daigo has an advantage because. i mean. it’d guarantee the person he’d admitting this too wouldn’t judge him for it#and would have- amusingly enough- more experience in the area than kiryu himself thus the possibility for advice/reassurance#which is such an interesting conceptual conversation that I started writing it. maybe one day I’ll finish it……….#I think the only way he’d come out ti majima first would be completely on accident / incidentally#like. getting drunk with him and laughing about whatever havin a good time and after a waitress or whoever hits on kiryu majima says like#‘you know- I’ve known you for like 30 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen you return the favor when a gal flirts with ya- so what kinda#gals ARE you into–‘ ‘I don’t think I’ve ever really been into any women. ………. ah.’#anyway that’s just one thought#anyway have fun with this#kiryu#kazuma kiryu#yakuza#rambling#polls

guys this car accident is eating me alive
#did you know that if you get an a car accident alone in virginia you get a reckless driving charge#and the Nightmares are back#i love my sister tho we talked to the cop at the crash and then immediately got in the car and she was like ‘fuck that stupid ugly ass fucki#fuckin bitch ass little 12 year old cop he can eat my ass’#which was the support i needed right then#but i swear to god every time i interact with cops#the way i have to CHOKE out ‘yes sir’ ‘no sir’#i understand the mechanics of propaganda#and the whole idea of ‘even if you think you’re not letting it affect you it still is’#like sorry but being an svu fan makes me hate cops more not less#idk how many of you have been in car accidents but whiplash is a real thing and it will ruin your whole month

Okay yeah uhm… I might need to tell a whole bunch of people not to mention something about me on a specific day. I think they’ll do that for me. They like me. I am a beloved member of their family. Ahahaha 😰
#I know they will if I ask but I’m still stressed as hell over having to approach people and explain my situation#I was so happy about it; and then a giant fucking wave of anxiety crashed into my soul#when I remembered I had pictures taken of me in costume on Halloween which may or may not be shown in a slideshow(?)#in front of my JEHOVAH’S WITNESS parents#exjw#They probably weren’t going to; but I’m gonna tell them just in case because I CANNOT have my escape plan tampered with#I can tell February is going to be a month of me saying “YAY!…………….. o h s h i t” several times in rapid succession#Love that for me#like I’m extremely grateful for everything that’s happening right now but the whiplash may kill me#ex cult#pimo#The way I went from elated to dying of tension in my chest in 0.3 seconds when I made the realization 💀

I don’t get them too often anymore but I got one of those “hope this gets updated soon” comments in my inbox which like/ I get it. I want my fav fics too update too. But it was especially annoying and depressing bc I’m already frustrated with myself for not writing much/not updating any of my fic this weekend after I Finally got back into a better writing habit. And it was just. Not a pleasant weekend all around for mental health or personal accomplishments. So like. Yeah. Idk
#I probably sounded like a dick in the reply but uuuugh I tried to be polite#and thank them too#bc comments are nice#but it was a whiplash of ‘OH COMMENT!! SEROTONIN!!!’ and then immediate feelings of failure#which I know is my own issue and I gotta deal with it#but uughh#also I wanted to do something really important life-wise this morning and I didn’t do it bc I was scared and nervous and also fucking tired#so#Mianmian is just having a Shit Time outside of work rn#work is going great which is good I guess#*big sigh#sorry to be depressing on the dash tonight guys#cross talks#personal#I may delete this#I don’t really like posting stuff like this but I need it off my chest

i just realised people who only play bg3 and who dont know anything about 5e forgotten realms lore have no insight as to why the tieflings are heading towards baldurs gate. they dont know that zariel used to be an angel. they dont know about the whole of elturel hovering over the styx. THEY DONT KNOW ABOUT LULU OR INFERNAL CHICKENS OR CHUKA AND CLONK OR THE VANTHAMPARS OR
#charlie.txt#iirc bg3 happens not that long after descent into avernus#which is a FANTASTIC module you should definitely play#i know there is throwaway dialogue but like#insane it isnt more talked about in game#then again actually i fucked up saving the tieflings in act 2 so maybe im making a cock of myself and they do actually explain in game#fun fact you can play as being from one of the pre existing patriar families#and well#lets just say descent into avernus doesnt mention any werewolf hhunes#because the WHIPLASH i got to find out alastor is related to them was. YEAH.

Thank you for all the reblogs of deactivated accts (/gen) I’ve been looking for a lot of old Turbo art and I was so sad I couldn’t find them but then I stumbled across your blog!!
Aw yea of course!! :] I’m happy I’m making them easier to find❤️🤍
It’s kind of fun, it’s like fandom excavation. And super interesting too, it’s like everything is frozen in time.. definitely a rabbit hole
Literally when I first tried looking for art of him there was next to NOTHING and then I realized 90% of his fanart is mainly from 2012-2013 and tumblr’s search function is Useless . So finding any depends a lot on old accounts that happened to reblog and tag them … very weird tumblr system but I’m glad it works
#🐛VIRUS OFFERINGS#I guess I just have a thing for archiving random shit#but keep in mind I’m not actually an archival account I’m only reblogging art I like the most#which is a lot of it but still !#it’s definitely Something exploring a fandom 10 years after it’s prime#WHENEVER PEOPLE TAKE SCREENSHOTS IM LIKE. OH MY GOD THATS A FUCKING IPHONE 4 LAYOUT I GET SUCH WHIPLASH#turbo#ask#thank you for the ask!
