Wow, the girl who loves Lucifer and has a Lucifer-themed blog listened to the Lucifer songs the most, who could have seen this coming?!? Why is Welcome to Heaven so high, hello??????

And even though Lestat isn't really there with Louis, Anderson loved filming all their scenes together because it's such a different relationship than what they shot in season 1.

"Something I really liked about their dynamic this season, which is weird because it is not really them, it's Louis' idea of him, and it's something that I wish that we had more of last season, is them just sort of hanging out," Anderson says. "You see them as friends or people that just enjoy each other's company way more in season 2 than you do in season 1, talking about photos or what are we supposed to do about our daughter? These sort of domestic vignettes. I've really loved doing that stuff."

Yeah! The memory of the person that he chose to be with, aside from the vampire bond and the sensuality of their relationship — there was always something else there. They could make each other laugh. It's a real relationship that has layers to it, and it's nice that you kind of get a glimpse of that at least.

Totally. Without all the violence and gore.

[Laughs] Yes, exactly. Sam and I have talked about how nice it would've been to have had a little mini-series where you just see Lestat and Louis just hanging out in New Orleans.

Being happy?

Yeah. And not even necessarily hunting, just like walking, sitting on a bench, chatting, really like the norm.

Melian Queen of Doriath

Unsurpassed in wisdom beauty and magical singing

Melian was a maiar who used to tend the gardens of Lorien and akin to Yavanna.

She had great fondness of the deep shadows that the great Trees made and she loved to see Vardas Stars.

It is said that when she sang that all the Valar would stop to listen and Nightingales where taught singing from her.

I wanted to draw the original Eldritch Lady in Middle Earth. I mean as Eldritch as I can without making her "evil" looking.

This is just the line art and while I really want to color this one because it would look so good in color and I have a whole color scheme for her- I can't.

Yet

I need to wait until my markers arrive because I don't want to color her with water colors. So she is added to the pile of uncolored pics sry ❤️

Btw in Tolkiens universe she was the prototype of Luthien!

And here again a little treat for you guys

September 9th - Happy Birthday Isabella - ft: her tvtropes

I've said this for years but the way the community absolutely has an undiscussed dislike or idk disregard for closeted people has bothered me for years. Yeah theres that sheen of being understanding but I've seen and had to have so many conversations with people to have more empathy for closeted people, especially closeted partners because I understand full well how complicated that is. Btw I'll be using gay as an umbrella term for most of the following cause I'm sometimes uncomfortable with using the q word too much, please respect that.

Like it got especially bad after gay marriage became legal here in the US and most of Western Europe and like every mostly white gay living in liberal areas started acting like everyone should be out already and if you weren't you were idk probably ashamed of yourself, or worse someone faking it. You become some kind of half baked gay person who their behavior implied couldn't possibly connect to queerness in the right way.

But like it doesn't work like that. Some of us very much live in unsafe places to do that and we also don't have the financial privilege to leave to safer states/countries or move out of homophobic/transphobic households. I can't imagine especially how disabled and closeted members of our community feel trapped by these kind of circumstances.

Plus some of us live in cultures where the emphasis on family and community is an essential tenant of our makeup and learning to separate ourselves from the abuse present in those communities towards us is difficult, much like any abusive relationship. There is so much nuance, especially outside the lense of whiteness, that out people sometimes seem to forget or even dismiss instead of helping to foster relationships or community to help the people in their lives who are closeted find refuge safely.

And it really comes to a head when out people I know date closeted people. They seem understanding enough at first but then start questioning if the person they're dating "actually really loves" them if they're not willing to out themselves and the conversation can at time turn progressively meaner as if closeted people are all inheritly selfish. Yes it is a romantic notion for someone to risk everything to be openly with you, and its something frankly all of us deserve including closeted people, but life is far more dangerous and complex than that and I think some people have forgotten that.

And look, I even empathize with open people in that kind of circumstance cause yeah the pressure of having to keep something that incredibly special to you under wraps can be very daunting. But often I've found, most open people have a chosen community to fall back on and talk about it with because they're not as inhibited or cut off from the larger, while closeted people often dont have anyone except their partner because being closeted has severed most pathways of finding the community. Their partners are usually their first connection to the community.

I even sometimes think this sort of mind set extends into how white people perceive gay poc as inherently closeted too. We're either not open enough or being closeted is weaponized against us. Like we could be out and white people still presume we're not and act like were straight lite and we could talk about how we're closeted and white people, again, think it's ok to treat us like straight lite. This is especially evident when we say something that makes them uncomfortable and angry. Like the only time they take cultural nuance into account is to use it to dismiss us, as if all of us must be in hiding and cant be as gay as them.

Point is, being closeted is complicated and frankly miserable as someone whose got one foot in and one out lol and although some peoples only space to be open is online, it doesnt makes them fake, doesnt make them less gay or trans, or less part of this community. It doesnt make them less worthy or deserving of love and community despite their circumstances.

s4 xmen evo charles stronger than me cause i could not imagine my evil ex husband who i still have feelings for being sent to the color dimension in the wake of an ancient evil being Awakened one week and then The Entire David Situation Happening the next like truly he gets kudos for Not deliberately confronting apocalypse earlier and getting himself sent to the color dimension

[triglycercule]

im on vacation how can i make this about the murder time trio. mtt fresh out of a flight and the minute that they leave the airport dust stops horror and killer for the smoke break. because being around a smoker is like that. and while horror is dying and coughing from the cigarette smoke and killer is pretend coughing to make dust feel terrible theyre both simultaneously roasting the shit out of dust for being such an addict smoker. cancer speedrun GO says horror. refreshing his signature smell says killer. dust just glares at them and blows smoke in their face (horror literally takes damage he's at 0.7 HP)

figured out how to edit the game files and combine some mods so i could try out different things with gale's earring because i have a lot of thoughts... also gale's earring should really be positioned lower but i'm having an issue with one of the mods, oh well

[goldiipond]

almost every papermario title gives you a best friend in the form of a very opinionated small woman with extensive knowledge on everything in the world. and these women are my favorite characters every time

hhelp wait this is so funny. didnt you follow me forever ago after a scott themed october song analysis . sorry if you dont remember that and this ask doesnt make sense but this is still funny to me

hi!!!! yeah. it was the cherri crane lives art i think and also where you made your flower husbands tag! I have never really interacted with fh outside of you (and like, seeing pretty fanart) but i am nonetheless deeply invested in your interpretation specifically!!! I honestly haven't watched jimmy outside of rats and the beginning of empires2 either i genuinely have no clue what they get up to you just seem to have a lot of fun with it

[anthroparian]

Whispering. is it maybe a little crazy bg3 is released as a complete game for full price when they've added epilogues and new endings and now new subclasses going on almost two years out post release.

and then people praise game that's definitely unfinished for having more content dripfed into it for doing that............

full price game notably not in early access anymore.....................

But consider: Asides from being impatient, Nine couldn't afford to wait any longer. "I've been gone a long time." "What does that mean?" "It means he's winning." Whoever this "big bad" is, he's winning by keeping Nine away from the Chaos. When we visited there, it was a whole temple. Dude is like Helios on his island of cows, he NEEDS to be there. He did the kindest thing he arguably could for MK, both because time was of the essence, (everything related to destiny was happening right now. Wukong looking for a successor, Macaque's revival, LBD making her move, the reincarnation of the pilgrims, etc.) and because waking MK up 50 years before the cycle ends would mean his stone egg would be fully baked. He'd exit as an adult rather than a kid capable of being adopted by Pigsy to live his life. There would just be a shell of a person meant to be the harbinger of chaos, with no personality of his own. Shout out to the person who said that's what the trials were designed to do, to speedrun development of empathy and a personality for the harbinger to sacrifice himself.

Whoever this "big bad" is, he's winning by keeping Nine away from the Chaos.

is he? or was he winning because he got Nines antsy enough to go back to the Chaos beyond? we only got that line to introduce us to our new big bad. “He’s winning” can mean a lot of things. maybe it means “he” has tried to keep Nines away for too long, but Nines does not look upset about the he guy. his beef is with Nuwa

When we visited there, it was a whole temple.

are we sure that is Nines’ temple? and what would he need a temple there for? it’s in the CHAOS! i highly doubt there’s worshipping in there. i honestly thought that “temple” was an entrance into the Chaos beyond. it is the gates, the border of the “cage” so to speak. yeah, sure it had the image of two snakes like yin and Yang but are one of those snakes actually Nines?

there is just a lot about him we do not know and what we were given contradicts each other. i am sure, Nines acted with what he felt was the best course scenario for MK and himself, but that still doesn’t stop his character from being confusing

also, when i said 50 years, i meant; after he woke MK up early, Nines could wait until MK lives 50 years as a mortal. at the very least. like out of all the villains MK would face over the years, Nines could at least have the decency to be kind about it since he does care about MK having his freedom of choice.

and like, 50 isn’t that bad for a human. you may have bad joints now or a fixed sleep schedule, but it id still an age for a character to end the world. Pigsy seems close to his 50s (he reads as 45 to me) and still wields a giant rake!

but obviously, we would have a different dilema with 50 year old mortal MK. he might not be as traumatized about killing himself and communicate his fears (the horror!)

but that’s not my point. my point is that Nines is an immortal chaos being who lived before lmk’s canon cycle and so he sees time differently. one year is not a long time for him, or it shouldn’t be. so why did he only give MK the chance to live less than a quarter of his life and then need to decide if he should kill himself for the cycle or let the cycle end.

[imwritesometimes]

not to be dramatic but getting myself a wax warmer was one of the best things I've done for myself in terms of 'little things to make myself happy' I am terrified of open flame in the house due to past life events but really love scent as something that can soothe and calm and idk I just love that I can fill my house with scents I like and that are soothing but there's no fire and I am focusing on more like this for 2024. Welcoming little simple things into my life that I may have said 'no, that's frivolous' to before.
