In which we discover Ulrike's puzzling new obsession.

Previous / Next

Transcript under the cut.

Helena: “Faaaaaust?!? Oh, there you are. You will not believe the day I’ve- Ulrike… What in the fresh gnome hell am I looking at here?”

Ulrike: “Oh, yeah! I stumbled upon this little guy today and couldn’t resist adding him to the collection. Isn’t he adorable? What should we name him?”

Helena: “He’s… naked.”

Ulrike: “Sharp observation, Zhao.”

Helena: “Tell me the truth, Faust. Am I going to have to stage a gnome intervention?”

Ulrike: “Well, you know I’ve been struggling with just a touch of artistic block lately.”

Helena: “I’ve noticed, yes.”

Ulrike: “I’m stressed about my thesis. Nothing I do seems interesting or innovative or even good anymore. Plus, I signed up for that stupid hipster gallery opening when I don’t even have a piece ready to show!”

Helena: [settles in for a long talk] “I’m still waiting to hear where the gnomes come in. Is this your cry for help, compulsively purchasing bizarre lawn ornaments? Should I actually be concerned?”

Ulrike: “No! I mean, yeah, at first it was a weirdly comforting distraction. But I think I’m a secret genius, Zhao, because these guys could be the key to everything!”

Helena: “You think these inanimate objects are going to, what, show you the meaning of life?”

Ulrike: “Of course not! But they are going to make me the star of that postmodernist jerk-off contest.”

Helena: “And let me guess. That maddeningly cryptic explanation is all I’m going to get.”

Ulrike: “A lady never reveals her cards too early. I have to be certain it’s going to work first. Anyway, I want to hear all about your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.”

Helena: “Maybe I was being a little overdramatic. But I got caught in a downpour again because it literally never stops raining here. I spent the entire day feeling and probably smelling like a wet dog. Then this asshole in workshop took an unprompted shit all over my short story.”

Ulrike: “Yep, classic asshole move.”

Helena: “I remember hearing something about ‘feminist drivel.’ Then I think my soul left my body and I sort of blacked out.”

Ulrike: “Fucking misogynist swine. Do you want me to kill him for you?”

Helena: “Yeah, you and what army?”

Ulrike: [crushes Helena’s ribcage] “Me and my army of gnomes, obviously.”

Helena: [struggling for breath] “I walked right into that one, didn’t I?”

obligatory beach divorce doodling

bonus rough cover redraw of x-men #41 (1995) But Beach Divorce below cut

[pepperpixel]

Yadda yadda yadda jinx is generally seen as a loose canon, does whatever she wants type of character, totally unpredictable. When in actuality, up until the last few episodes all of her choices and actions r motivated by wanting to please someone else. Hell. Even in the last couple episodes, the very Last thing we see her doing is ENTIRELY MOTIVATED by devotion and love and grief for silco, she’s taking out her frustration at herself and the world, and also honoring his wishes and dreams. By shooting a fucking bomb at piltover, she’s ensuring his life wasn’t in vain, she’s honoring him. In that moment

Her entire, self!!! is centered around love and loyalty. Is centered around other people, She’s motivated by an insatiable urge to prove herself, to be useful to those she loves, to show that she can help them and be there for them and be WORTHY of there love. That they haven’t made a mistake in loving her. To prove that she can be as pivotal to them as they r for her. She goes to the ends of the fucking earth to do this. And it ends. Terribly.

She puts the people she loves on pedestals and supplicates at there feet, she has no motivations most of the show outside of making the people she loves happy… she yearns for connection and love and safety. For a home that will never leave her behind, or crumble under her feet, (an indestructible home, That she can’t destroy just by being her…)

Which is why.. it’s so. Interesting and intriguing. How now, she has no one on that pedestal to worship, no one to drag sacrifices and offerings to the feet of, no one to spiral around and build herself off of. She is a person so *affected* by her relationships w others, but there is no relationship now, no one is stepping up to the plate to love her. She’s too much. For anyone. The one person who seemed to have unlimited patience for her is dead, because of her. and maybe vi could still love her.. but. She’s already soured that relationship. Already broken that one too. Broken all her favorite toys that made her so happy. That were there for her. And scared all the rest away. (There is a limit to what vi can support and forgive to reconnect w her sister. And I believe terrorism is crossing that limit ghgh)

And maybe, jinx is cutting that part of herself out on purpose. To be stronger, she’s realized she just. Isn’t made for love. That she ruins it all in the end. That it just makes everything worse. Messier. More complicated. She’s better off on her own, but for what PURPOSE! Who will she be now! What choices will she make!?! Almost all of her actions in the show were for others, what is driving her now, now that she has this gaping void at the center of her being. Where love used to be… what kind of person will she become, Without a guide to follow… a sun to orbit around. it’s sad honestly ghghg-!!! like yeah it’s not healthy that she is this way but there’s no THERAPY IN ARCANE. THIS IS THE WAY SHE IS! And now. She’s alone… it’s rough. But also intriguing…!! And I honestly have no clue how she’s gonna act in season 2,,, or what sorta shit she’s gonna get up to. but I’m excited.

posting that sketch yesterday made me remember just how much i love my taashath so i did another doodle <3

[charliespringverse]

i think it should be possible to scream without making any noise or disturbing anyone or inviting any questions . just sometimes . as a treat .

[pitifulbinx]

Y'all ever have the urge to just completely destroy your life? Because it would literally be soo much easier than this.

Stop trying in school. Cvt on my arms. Start doing drugs. Start smoking. Just, get worse.

Tritober day?? I don’t remember the day but it was the blood prompt IM NOT IMMUNE TO VAMPIRE VASH PROPAGANDA

[monards]

i think it's super interesting (and really funny) how. while all other accounts about the sinners describe as these absolutely terrifying otherwordly harbingers of destruction. almost every first hand account is so painfully normal and chill ;; like skirk treats and talks about surtalogi as if he's. a bit annoying & obnoxious to her. and even though albedo describes rhine as 'cold and strict...,' it isn't exactly a sin to not be optimistic and easygoing- plus alice seems fond of her (considering. everything) and her writing in the new hexenbook is. incredibly not what you'd expect with how she's reputated

IM GETTING CLOSE

welcome back to my accidental newfound journey to redraw every frame from this movie i GUESS

[todayisafridaynight]

y3 is so insane how did they get away with that in 2009 minedai is literally insane

it's not as if they showed anything super explicit in all fairness. mine's language is pretty much the only Objectively eyebrow raising thing. In My Opinion.

@djsouled asked:

[ sms ] what are the odds you can cover for my english class today, eh? say one of our favorite blonds ('sides you, of course) started coming down with something. :)

[Unprompted. || Accepting!]

Yagi tilted his head. It wasn't often that his phone went off for reasons other than missions- so to see Yamada's contact flash on the screen caused him a small deal of worry. He was quick to unlock the device, heading to the chat in question--- and relaxing slightly, though his concern was not fully abated.

[Present Mic] [what are the odds you can cover for my english class today, eh? say one of our favorite blonds ('sides you, of course) started coming down with something. :)]

A small chuckle escaped him at that.

[Self] [The odds are one in one. Just send me whatever lesson plans you have, and I'll look them over when I have the chance. Do you want me to pick up anything later? I can make a rather nice soup for the funniest blond, if you want.]

He could let Nezu know that he'd be taking over Yamada's English courses for the day. Of course, Yagi had already spent all of his hours...- He couldn't just let villains slide!- But at least he'd be able to teach as his True Form. Another day as 'All Might's personal assistant', it would seem...and slightly, this time, Yamada's.

That caused another soft chuckle.

[Self] [There isn't a quiz today, is there?]

the more i think about it, the more i am Very Much looking forward to Hunter, Echo and Wrecker's confrontation with Cid.

not just for the "Cid getting what she deserves" part

for the "Hunter, Echo and Wrecker unleashed" part.

yelling. screaming. crying. waving guns around. throwing bottles. shooting bottles. stabbing the bar top with a knife.

i want Wrecker ripping arcade games out of the walls.

i want Echo to march into Cid's office, grab the clone helmets she's displayed, take them, and then utterly trash the rest of her office. top to bottom.

i want Hunter to take the dejarik table, the exact one where Omega played to pay off their debt, where he and Omega played against each other, and i want Hunter to rip it clean out of the floor and fucking launch it at Cid's head.

i want them to release all their stresses, and their pain and heartbreak, and their rage, on that little parlour.

[faunandfloraas]

Jeongin having almost no votes on that poll makes sense to me, not because I think he'd do particularly bad but because I'm utterly certain if he ended up stranded with one of us he'd just up and leave and I wouldn't blame him

[alittleemo]

guys I cannot believe I’m writing this but I had another dream abt linkedin boy. I appreciate gods commitment to sending me neon signs but I’m still not going to listen <3
