#with another crowd of people

yeah humans have kinda always been morbid dicks about tragedies. like you look up any old timey murder case and 9 times out of ten there will be a crowd of lookey-lous wandering onto the crime scene and just taking shit
#like the murder of the lawson family; neighbors stole raisins off the christmas cake for keepsakes#while they wandered through the crime scene where 7 people (5 of them small children!) where murdered#or when the bodies of her beaus were discovered on belle gunness's farm#while the police exhumed more bodies there were straight up vendors setting up right next to them#a guy was selling lemonade and ice cream and cake. there was a popcorn vendor. someone was selling commemorative postcards#someone even managed to sell a dog corpse to a young woman by telling her that belle gunness practiced poisons on it!#and when the police finally had enough and told everyone to leave#the crowd freaked out and surged towards the house#they tried prying open the windows or tear off the siding of the house to get inside#it was fucking madness#also during the jack the ripper case one of the suspects was cleared because his alibi was that he was watching a house burn down#with another crowd of people#now that i think about it im pretty sure the same thing happened with the jonbenet ramsey case#where neighbors just walked in and poked around and took stuff#there's dozens of more examples honestly#and there is a lot to be said about how a lot of true crime cases are covered or how true crime fans respond to things#but tldr: this is not a new problem unfortunately. people have always been disrespectful and morbid

Lan Wangji goes to Lotus Pier (No relation to the AU of the same name)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#Another split type comic because I decided to be ambitious.#This flashback is currently beating my ass. There are so many timeskips within the flashback! My flow and pacing are wheezing!#I loved how this scene starts with the crowd's point of view. The observations and gossip add a lot.#And it helps reposition us to what the external perspective is on these two. Namely that 'they don't get along.'#Tensions are known! Even here in Nouveau Lotus Pier.#Ah...Lan Wangji never got a chance to see the Lotus Pier of Wei Wuxian's childhood and adolescence...did he?#It's not the same. He's not the same. Call them by the same name and people will know what you mean...#...but the first version - the one with the fond memories - is gone for good.#It's sort of interesting isn't it? How names can hold so much power and still be hollow?#We often get stuck over past versions of things. Be it ourselves or other people or places.#Change is scary but the truth is nothing ever stays the same. It's always moving. You're always moving.#It's okay to mourn the past. Maybe it's people you lost or the person you hoped to be. Let yourself feel the grief.#And then? Then you grow around that pain and keep on going. If you feel like you can't - remember you don't have to do it alone.#A side note: Listening to the tossing flowers extra is so essential for this scene. It's cute and gives us more of [redacted]#What's [redacted]? You'll see in the next comic!

#my art#daycare attendant#dca fandom#moondrop#<- dca.. they're back in town ...#not tagging sun bc thats just their head :p#anywayyy hopefully this means something to someone. that's all i could ever wish for when it comes to my art#thats probably a bit too sentimental or something but sometimes it's hard to tell if the stuff you make is actually reaching people#or if you're just another person making content to satiate an insatiable crowd#is my art edible? is it a meal to you? is it a one time only thing? does it have any lasting effect on you?#is it just nutrients to sustain you? or is it something that will genuinely stick to you for at least longer than the first second?#i will stop talking now. you can eat my art as much as you'd like but can you at least savor it a little? compliment the chef a little bit?#for the ones who've read this far: this is actually for an AU i've been thinking about recently. i won't be sharing what it's about lol#but if you wanted some context for this... here you go. i'd like to think this has more meaning to it than just being an AU though#and maybe me not disclosing what the AU is will make you think about this post for a bit longer? it's a mystery now....#aaaand i just noticed i forgot the bells on the ribbon on their arm. great. excellent. perfect. whatever

Hello I love your art!!! I was reading through your changeling au and Felix mentions that fae are creatures of mirth. They literally need attention to survive. But what kind of attention? I guess I'm wondering because Adrien has been in the public eye for a while now, but has been personally neglected for even longer. What does that mean for him? Is he starving? Is he in danger of dying? Does he even know it? (I assume not given he doesn't even know he's Fae).
If he is starving / in danger of starving who is the first to realize this?
it depends on the mirth, on the attention, on what it is they seek. Without making things too complicated - I don't like to define everything into neat little boxes after all, there's fun in nuance - Felix is just explaining from his experience, the Fae he was with tended to be "entertained" by certain aspects of their playing, which was the mirth that kept them relevant. Relevancy more than anything is really what keeps their wheels greased.
In Adrien's case though, the reason he's cloying for so many names and to have so many thralls and attendants is because he SHOULD be a more social creature and has been kept woefully alone. He is kinda starving in the way a fae starves - he's relevant, but only in an image his father constructs OF him, which means it isn't REALLY him - and he has no one to play with. No friends, no lovers, and no rivals, makes a very sad fae
#replies#did this make sense ? I have very specific lore in my brain for how this shit works#and it can be sort of confusing to parse#starving doesn't work the same for fae as it does for people#being creatures of mirth#its why they like sweet foods generally. they dont eat it to eat#they eat it to taste something sweet#they take people's names to have people to play with#to feed their desire for entertainment and relevancy#how do i put this another way... anyone in the crowd have adhd? or the tisms? you know hyperfixations#like REAL hyperfixations. not just “I'm interested in this”#I mean “I am legitimately unable to focus on anything BUT this one thing”#“I have made this thing apart of my personality and I need it to survive and I know everything about it and I NEED to talk to someone it”#imagine you exist. but you're the hyperfixation#and you exist... MORE. in a real way. when people focus on you. some aspect of you#want to mimic you or are apart of you or are owned by you. now youre more real.#like that.

Anti Zionism is not antisemitism and I’m gonna say it everytime yall try to play victim. it’s honestly disgusting that you think Palestinian people should die just because you want a country to “exist” your people are not in danger if they have enough time to gather near a fence in thousands of groups and cheer as bombs fall on the West Bank of Gaza, you say “Palestine shouldn’t exist” and then use the exuse “when I say in a Zionist, I mean I just want the state of Israel to simply exist” but you mean you want to wipe out an entire race of people to do so, you’re honestly disgusting and I hope karma hits you like a ton of bricks because Israel and the entire west is honestly disgusting. Kike
Thank you for this. I’ll keep it as a case study.
#ask#antisemitism#another win for the ‘anti zionism isn’t antisemitism’ crowd#anti zionism is antisemitism#you know what else is antisemitism? the k slur#anon really said ‘anti Zionism isn’t antisemitic but I am’#maybe when these people say ‘anti Zionism isn’t antisemitism’ it’s actually a complaint#‘anti Zionism is a sorry excuse for antisemitism’#‘we need more blatant classic antisemitism’

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.
this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.
incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?
#he also goes on for another six pages after this but by then he has remembered the existence of the full stop#the endnotes say that hugo 'se devait de faire [ce portrait] aussi favorable que possible à la personnalité de l'homme#qui avait favorisé sa carrière' (had to make this portrait as favorable as possible to the character of the man who had favored his career)#in fairness to hugo it's not like louis-philippe was alive to read this. so he wasn't just sucking up to get something out of it#he says at the end of the chapter that this description is 'entirely disinterested'. which like on the one hand i get#bc like i said louis-philippe was not in power and reading this. but otoh victor 'ancien pair de france' hugo u r not exactly unbiased. lol#les mis#lm 4.1.3#i just looked up the english translation and gasp! hapgood turned it into four separate sentences!!!!#so i think y'all who are reading it via les mis letters (which uses hapgood i think?) are gonna miss out on the full experience :/#my posts#linked to#syntax#idk if i got this across but the worst part is that the subject of the sentence - the beginning of the independent clause -#doesn't occur until the very end. so for the first 95% of the sentence you're just waiting for the bass to drop!!!#like reading it out loud you have to raise your pitch at the end of every dependent clause because you haven't gotten to the subject yet#AND THERE ARE SO MANY CLAUSES!! 49 SEMICOLONS PEOPLE!!! FORTY-NINE!!!!#victor hugo would be TERRIBLE as a hype man. he would take so long that the crowd would tear him to pieces with their fingernails#before louis-philippe could come out on stage. and then they'd be so mad at louis-philippe for inspiring him that they'd tear LP apart too#actually i think i'm using hype man wrong. i'm thinking of the guy that gets the crowd hyped up for the main guy before the main guy#makes an appearance. a hype man is the guy who makes interjections during a song. victor hugo would be bad at both of these#like just imagine the announcer at the beginning of a basketball game. and now...your starting lineup...at power forward...#and then he just says the 760-word louis-philippe sentence.#dead. murdered at the hands of the fans. microphone shoved down his trachea.

Does Drake have any other friends than Launchpad?
what she said
-
I don't think so, not only is he a difficult guy to be around--he also tends to not let people in. If I recall his attitude to company in the first episode, he explicitly states; "I work alone." and generally didn't leave much wiggle room on that statement until he decided otherwise.
Also, just any episode involving any of the justice ducks, the episode 'adopt-a-con', and 'You Sweat your life away', all do a pretty good job highlighting his inability to be around people.
I'd also reckon he's not particularly upset about his lack of friends. Many times had he shown that his job came first--and friends would just get in the way (that episode w/ fenton crackshell did wonders to explain that.)
But yeah, no friends for that guy lol
#hes a weird guy fr#hates pretty much everyone except like two people and then wants to be extremely popular with the crowds#make up your mind bro#anyways#love him#darkwing duck#darkwing duck 1991#drake mallard#dwd91#gosalyn mallard#another keegan rant

khan metro is such a funny fucking character i love the sections of the games where we have to follow him for a while because 90% of the time hes just giving you wisdom about how the metro is alive or whatever and 10% of the time youre on some insane jackass shit
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOINNGGG
#i wish they utilized the river of fate sequence a bit more in the direction of giving us another snippet of khans past... sigh.....#since like he already does comment it “nearly got him this time” they couldve shown us like. him getting distracted by the people he tried#to save i cant remember which station they were from but that one section where he leads you through the crowd of souls#gestures wildly I KNOW WHAT I MEAN i just cant word it well#metro last light#metro 2033#metro khan

Phil genuinely being so offended about Dan walking fast though like "excuse me why do you have a selfish mindset where I am being left behind" he didn't even say that Dan walks off too far he just said Dan walks "in front of him" but even that is unacceptable Phil wants them walking side by side hand in hand
#i relate with Dan tho when I'm out I don't like holding hands or walking side by side unless roads are being crossed#because like walking one behind the other allows for better agility in navigating the crowd#and when you're crossing the road people cross at different paces (i live somewhere where lights and crossings are meaningless)#so it's safer for one person to decide and everyone else to hold hands and walk at the same pace#anyway give me your thoughts on walking outdoors with another person how do you guys do it?#dnp#dan and phil#dnpgames#dan and phil games

Wardrobe Woes
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Yes: there are people who read these comics who don't know much about mdzs. Several are my beloved and supportive friends B'*)#This comic in particular is one that I've been thinking about for a very long time and I'm so happy to finally be here!#I was trying to think about how to explain the social rules of the forehead ribbon and the reason lwj was so upset#and the metaphor of 'it's kind of like wwx accidently undoing lwj's bikini in front of a crowd.' came to mind.#of course there's a bit more to it than that but the point here is that - accident or not - it still embarrasses lwj#wwx doesn't get the entire context behind it (at the time. Now he *does* and it all makes a bit more sense)#But he knows he made lwj upset. He knows he doesn't want to put lwj in another embarrassing situation.#Not after all this. Not after everything. Not after realizing that his desire for friendship might be the kind of desire that ruins lan zha#Love the symbolism of the archery outfits being red during this moment of 'whoops only married couples can do that' moment.#What if we accidental proposed............accidental marriage....accidental kiss the bridegroom....accidental fall in love.#Guess we did inadvertently get the puffy sleeves and bikini outfits in the end.#wwx in an old timey bathing suit is so important to me. I'll die on this hill.#lwj's cute little box is inspired by @lazycranberrydoodles's cute fan art <3 I love it a lot

Superstar status ⭐️
#superstar status needs super-fan behavior#if you look very closely you’ll see me in the crowd#you ask him if he’d date a fan and he tells you everyone he dated was a fan in one way or another 🥰🤭#guys I struggled so much with this I never want to draw stage light again#I see now why the last singer valen art we got was 3 yrs ago djskaldjdk 😭😂#he’d never forgive me if he found out#how else are people meant to know that he’s a celebrity and how is he gonna get 50M fans this way#it’s fine I fix it#the struggle was worth it ig! he looks so good I love him bye 💗#my art#my ocs#oc: valen isilien#art#oc

like not to be a bitch about leftists but most of yall won’t even wear a mask in public so sorry but I don’t believe you’re actually capable of any major political action
#I’m also a leftist for the most part this is about the don’t vote crowd#the glorious revolution people#like you’re going to start a revolution? you? you won’t even protect disabled people in your communities shut the FUCK up#am I very upset bc we’re in the middle of YET ANOTHER Covid surge and I personally know nine people who have tested positive the past week?#maybe so#but I need yall to shut the fuck up about your performative activism and actually do something come#us politics#please vote#and if you don’t bc of your moral purity complex then keep that shit to yourself
