I forgot I can just post random shit on here without it being an ask.
Behold: a visual representation of me, just done doing random shit to my hair because I was bored and searching a quote trying to remember what it’s from, and the Microsoft AI spitting out this bullshit at me.
Like. Like why. Why did it do that. I was running on so little sleep. It was like 2 in the morning. This was Sunday night. Why did this happen. Microsoft Edge why are you built like this.
Anyway “You are both tinder and torchbearer” goes hard as FUCK and will be sticking with me for a very long time.
#art#sssbmty#what the fuck do I tag this as?#that Microsoft ai is so…. oh it’s so special#also first time me posting art of myself???#even if it’s just a shitty sketch?#wild#for the record I have the most ridiculous haircut known to man so yes the braided part is longer than the rest#yes none of it is even#yes I cut it myself#yes I’m growing it out#yes none of those sections are the same amount of hair#look I was gonna get an undercut but now I want to dye my hair while I have so much of it#professionally dying your hair is expensive tho and I don’t wanna destroy my hair with bleach if I do it myself#why did this turn into a rant about my hair? oops

im annoyed and a little pedantic so can i just say as a blanket statement
queerbaiting is when the promotion for a FICTIONAL STORY intentionally hints towards two characters having a romantic relationship, without any intention to follow through in the show, in order to get queer people watching without discouraging the homophobic enjoyers of the show
queerbaiting is NOT:
a celebrity who you think is queer because theyre gnc or they have a 'vibe'. that is a real person and they cannot queerbait
two friends of the same gender pretending to flirt with each other for fun. those are real people and they cannot queerbait
a show with two characters of the same gender who are canonically friends that YOU PERSONALLY think would be better in a relationship. that's not bating, that's shipping, and subject to opinion
there are more but those are the main examples of people misunderstanding what queerbaiting is and being mad at something that isn't actually a problem
#the general rule if youre unsure is to ask yourself 'is that a real person i think is hinting that they are queer' and if the answer is yes#then that cannot be queerbaiting because thats a human person#apparently this is not a known fact anymore but even celebrities are human and have human emotions and human experiences#so sometimes their experiences appear to match yours and if your experience stems from your queer identity then often you can assume that#the celebrity in question is also queer#you may be right but you're probably wrong because you do not know that celebrity and have no way of knowing if they do not explicitly say#also its none of your business#anyway im annoyed at how many people dont know what queerbaiting is anymore#no jimmy solidarity and joel smallishbeans are not queerbaiting because they are FRIENDS and they are allowed to interact with each other#however they like because they are FRIENDS and they are not even remotely trying to hint that they themselves are queer or something#queerbaiting#queer#lgbtq#wren wrambles

Your art is so, so, so, so cute. If you ever were so inclined, I would love to see your take on Charles finally getting to eat a plate of spaghetti
Edwin wasn't too sure he liked it, but I think he's convinced now!
ko-fi
#ask ask ask#dead boy detectives#dbda#payneland#edwin x charles#lady and the tramp scene be upon ye#well i can't be original all the time!#I think Edwin made the spaghetti using magic ingredients#he worked very hard to make it taste similar to the real thing#even though none of the ingredients are something you would usually find in pasta#(charles asked what they were and edwin said he didn't want to know)#so i guess new magic item: pasta ghosts can eat lol#at first i was going to draw charles laughing because i like to think he is the type to laugh when he's nervous#but it looked kinda mean so quiet wonder it is#For this is the night#and the heavens are right#On this lovely bella notte#maybe charles put the song on trying to be funny idk

the leverage team would have had a games night… once. everyone cheated so much and in such increasingly extreme ways that all mentions of monopoly are banned in their headquarters (this makes talking about marks who monopolize the market very confusing)
#leverage#nate wouldn’t cheat but he’d be by far the most annoying still. like he’d conduct a whole Scheme to win and give a little monologue wheneve#he made a good move and everyone would want to kill him#parker woukd obvs be stealing money & cards and she’d move their pieces and swap their stuff#but also she’d try to use her turn to rob the bank#sophie would use neurolinguistic programming and dominate the board w properties#which somehow parker would literally never land on and that’s incredibly suspicious but none of them really know how she could possibly be#manipulating that fact? it’s logically impossible bc they’re watching her roll the die and move the piece and sophie knows which properties#she owns so it makes no sense. but parker is parker and she simply will not be caught (even by sophie’s properties)#hardison has studied monopoly theory (yes there are math theories on how to play monopoly) and /tries/ to abide by them but again. sophie i#manipulating him and parker is stealing from him (and sometimes oddly enough *for* him. new money ends up in his bank somehow) so it’s hard#so eventually he resorts to cheating like Everyone Fucking Else and does pretty well bc he rlly does know what sets he wants etc.#eliot is genuinely playing normally. no cheating no math stuff no schemes.#but he’s just sitting there fuming the entire time bc they’re all very obviously messing with the game and he Knew this was gonna happen bu#goddamn hardison & parker especially know how to get on his nerves (often purposely)#he calms down by making some snacks and. resorting to also cheating lol.#leverageposting

Prompt 344
(Slightly based off a previous Prompt in design)
One Damian Al Ghul-Wayne is frustrated to say the least.
It isn’t like he’s unused to kidnappings and hostage plots, it’s Gotham, but Father has rules about getting kidnapped in civilian identities. Which is what he’d gotten kidnapped as, alongside a few of his honestly idiotic classmates. (Genuinely there were a few he could tolerate, but no, the kidnappers had grabbed the most annoying and shrill-voiced of them all, and if he was alone he could deal with it as Robin but no. Ugh)
So here he is, stuck with annoying whining children who wouldn’t know a kukri from a dagger. He doesn’t even have to pretend to be upset by the time the idiots get around to whatever they needed a dozen children for.
And look, he did halfheartedly struggle and even got a good stab in, but apparently the imbeciles weren’t completely idiotic. So here he is, stuck with several other idiots in the middle of some sort of ritual. Some sort of summoning if he’s not mistaken and damnit why is his family taking so long.
The children are screaming and crying in the shrill ear-splitting way that he hates, and honestly he’d rather be surrounded by animals. Like cats, they were quiet! Or even a bird-
The light turns blinding, the crackle of energy drowning out the chanting and-
Huh.
Huh.
That didn’t look like any sort of eldritch deity or demon if he was being honest. Damian almost scoffed. Of course the imbeciles couldn’t even do a summoning properly. (The three feline-esque beings squished into the summoning circles didn’t look to pleased, and honestly he’s nowhere near surprised when they break out like Alfred the Cat when his siblings try to put him in a carrier)
#DCxDP#DPxDC#PRompts#Cat Trio#Halfa Trio#Nekomata Sam#Griffin Danny#Sphynx Tucker#They didn’t even know they could get summoned to other planes of reality#These cult idiots are Sooo lucky they’ve finished school already#They look way younger than they r thx to their physical bodies bein stuck at 14#Damian is debating an alliance with the feral feline trio#Yes they don’t know how to get home#No don’t worry their adults will find them#They’re not even old enough to be summoned :/#No they don’t need adoption they’re just stuck here for a bit#I think it’d be funny if they all share the title of Ghost prince#slash Ghost princess#none of them wanna be ghost king/queen & got stuck sharing prince/princess#No the rest of Damian’s classmates aren’t surprised he befriended the demon cat people

Moment I'm obsessing over today:
This response when you ask Gale "What does our relationship mean to you?"
You must know, our relationship is the brightest spot in our otherwise bleak endeavour. To know you love me for the man I am, and not the magic I command... None have loved me so purely before. You are everything to me, and yet our relationship is only a nascent fraction of what it will become. You give me hope, and I've not had that in some time.
Breathtakingly romantic, a little heartbreaking, and full of warmth and hope. It gets me every single time
And his expressions!! From puppy eyes to that sweet smile to warm certainty... I love him so so so much 🥺
#gale dekarios#screenshots#diaglogue#the ''you must know'' always puts me in mind of that pride & prejudice scene. ''you must know. surly you must know'' y'all know the one#also the player character's face when he says ''none have loved me so purely before'' is perfect like yes that is *incredibly* sad#i don't even really have any extra commentary on this i was just playing the scene again and my heart felt like it was about to explode#so i had to come on here and scream about it a bit lol

ONE PIECE ep. 523 // ch. 603 || Luffy & Zoro really wanting to catch some fish while underwater on their way to Fishman Island
"As you can imagine, when there are too many holes at once, the bubble will break. For example, if we are bitten by a Sea King's fangs, it'll be trouble. So we have to be careful with creatures and obstacles in the sea. As long as we don't do anything foolish from inside, it’ll be fine."

HOLY FUCKLE A DOE REF FINALLY. Huge huge huge thanks to fenergizer.bsky.social for this amazing amazing gift??? gods I'm like in love with this. they did so fucking amazing drawing me.
#doeposting#the doe herself#this is my truesona#i dont really use my old fursonas as representation of myself anymore since none really actually captured how I look in our system#but Fen was like “LET ME DRAW YOU GIFT DOE. TELL ME ABOUT YOU.”#so I gave a fairly vague description based on my old pfp#(which was as close as Id gotten to what I look like before)#and Fen took a few artistic liberties and made a genuinely perfect representation#i didnt even tell them about the broken horn they were just like#“ah yes an enby transgendeer absolutely would have a broken antler”#and they knocked it out of the park

honestly if there's one change book to TV that I'm super grateful for it's ageing up Daniel Molloy. that wet sack of a boy needed to ripen to reach Bogosian!Daniel level of sass
#on a more serious note it just adds sm to this romance for me#armand let him go he let him have one full human life#he got to grow out of his addiction both to drugs and to armand/armand's blood#he failed two marriages and fucked up two daughters yes but that's life#he had a whole successful career#spn#there's a lot to unpack with regards to armand's mindfuckery sure but it WAS an act of love#selflessness even#he wasn't backed in a corner bc the akasha thing is pushed to the back#and i do think book!armand wouldnt have turned daniel when he did#if he'd seen another chance for daniel#70s!daniel took none of armand's shit either#but present daniel is far more equipped to stand his ground i think#and armand is going to see#that the romance of daniel's youth isn't as fickle as he thought#bc daniel still feels a ravening and hopeless desire#i could talk about this for hours#devil's minion#iwtv#daniel molloy

Me seeing people on twitter talking about morally grey characters like they're completely irredeemable and makes them abusive rapists as a result even though the bad actions they've done is only comparable to a Wile E. Coyote cartoon skit but gorier:
#cw: abuse mention#cw: rape mention#so i was on twitter- [THAT WAS A MISTAKE I KNOW]#and yes im talking about tf2 here#murder is morally neutral actually and it doesnt inherently mean that someone is evil or abusive#bro new zealand in the tf2 comics is just atlantis NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN TOO SERIOUSLY#“but medic kept spy's head in a fridge” IM SORRY BUT HOW DO YOU SAY THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE#scout died in a emotionally effective way in the comics BUT HE BELIEVED TOM JONES WAS TALKING TO HIM AND WAS HIS DAD#even the angst have comedy in the comics#you can explore these characters in however way you wish and i encourage it but DO NOT force those interpretations onto others#putting the words “abusive” and “manipulation” on the top shelf until you mfs learn to use them properly#tf2#proships dni#f/o blog#tf2 spy#tf2 scout#tf2 demoman#spy tf2#tf2 sniper#tf2 heavy#tf2 soldier#tf2 pyro#tf2 engineer#[just me yapping]#ok to rb

do most people know that mcgucket was using the memory gun on random workers and on ford repeatedly during the late stages of the portal construction?
#gravity falls#Stanford pines#Ford pines#fiddleford mcgucket#ive been seeing so many people acting like mcgucket was 100% morally pure during that whole era#and it occurred to me that a lot of people might not even know about this bit bc it only shows up in the blacklight journal#none of them were healthy or moral people. to varying degrees of harm yes but still.#bill was abusing ford and ford was accidentally destroying mcgucket and mcgucket was falling headfirst into accidental supervillain tactics#bc of his desire to machine away all problems and avoid all possible confrontation#neither ford nor mcgucket MEANT to be immoral and commit heinous acts against each other or the world at large#but by god did they do that anyway#their respective mental illnesses and flaws and also the horrors made it kind of hard to be good people at the time#fluffle talks

It remains so funny to me that Caleb's idea of 'settled' is definitely "stirring up revolutionary talk in the capital like a 19th century philosophy professor while his wanted criminal boyfriend shows up on his front porch once a week in the flimsiest disguise imaginable." Icon shit.
#yes this is a really specific pull. yes I stand by it.#don't @ me.#caleb has more respect for women than a 19th century philosophy professor tho and we all thank god for that.#but also. essek. bby. not even like into the foyer? is this basically the dezran thain disguise??? cuz that's what it sounds like???#do you think ludinus da'leth does not know who is strolling up the front walk?#he absolutely has tabs kept on caleb. he knows babe.#you are small potatoes to him.#(I say. given tiefic. but like....... that's extenuating circumstances lmao. and oh boy does it get worse. :))) )#don't worry about it certainly no implications for the chapter this week none whatsoever :)#caleb widogast#critical role#cr spoilers

In defense of late-canon x files (including the revivals)
I was thinking about this poll after I commented on it, and I kinda want to be brave and say more.
Short answer to the poll's question before I go any further: If you're a new fan and a sensitive sort who thinks you'll struggle with your blorbos Really Going Through It and you really need a happy ending, I suggest you stop at the end of season 8. Do not pass go, do not look at spoilers. Disregard this post entirely, close the internet, and go look at something that makes you happy. (Also fuck every part of society that characterizes sensitivity as inherently weak and bad and some kind of personal failing, you are valid.)
That said, "quality" as a concept is entirely subjective, and the question of whether or not there's a decline in quality for any story is wholly subjective, too. In the case of x files? I'm not convinced there is a decline. I am going to be upfront that I haven't yet watched past season 8, though I am almost completely spoiled on events after that - and the reason I haven't watched yet is not because of how I know events are going to unfold, but simply because I don't want it to end!!! Ohh, the tension between "I CAN'T WAIT!!!" and "Nooo don't be over D:"
When I first came to txf fandom on tumblr and gradually became spoiled about what happens in late canon though, I was often left uncomfortable and tbh kinda queasy about it. As I said in my comment on the poll, the hate for especially the revival and IWTB, or to a lesser extent even seasons 8 & 9, is very well documented. But! There are other takes to be found here on tumblr if you figure out where to look, and my feelings have changed!
The thing is, I have yet to find myself in any fandom where there isn't a vocal subset of fans who dislike the story after a certain point. I am not joking when I say that no one hates the things they love as passionately as sci-fi and fantasy fans. In my experience, it often hinges on the extent to which a viewer has strong notions on where they would like the characters to end up. In particular with series where shipping is a dominant component for the bulk of a fandom, I have almost universally found that there comes some turning point in the story where "let them be happy you cowards" is the dominant view, and things that compromise the attainment of a degree of romantic stability and/or domesticity are, to many fans, annoying at best and despicable at worst. But! As one tagset on the linked poll said:
and I think for any fandom, that last tag especially is so so so important. (I think that's harder for people watching a weekly series live, bc you have so much time to analyze and speculate and dream before the next breadcrumb drops, but I digress.)
So why am I saying this and how do I apply it to x files? Well, I eventually found that there are also a subset of fans who find redeeming things right up to the very end and actually quite like the whole thing! The things that I had seen people rage and ventpost so much about honestly never quite sounded to me as "out of character" or "untrue to the story" etc as those same ventposts made them sound. And I've discovered I'm not the only one who felt that way. Do I love that the spooky squad had to go through all of those things? No, those poor guys D: Life is hard and they have been through so much trauma. But do those events and their choices make sense to me in light of everything that came before? Yes! And I honestly can't wait to see them fight to overcome those things, breaking, healing, always learning, always growing, always getting better.
So if you're wondering "where does it go wrong"... well, I'm a completionist, as many people who've answered that post are, but also my personal opinion is that I don't think it does go wrong. If you're new and interested in exploring why I've gone from "vaguely queasy" to "excited" about the whole thing, or want to maybe balance out the impressions you're getting about the later seasons before deciding whether or not you want to see the whole thing, I'll put a few blog names in the comments.
Final admission: even once I started feeling a little more confident in the possibility that "actually ok maybe I'm not crazy, maybe this all kind of is in character and does make sense", there was one big plot point that I was NOT looking forward to and I thought I would never be comfortable about. In hindsight, I think my discomfort came from the negative responses being SO seemingly universal that I hadn't stopped to let myself truly consider other possible interpretations on that point. (I mean my initial instinct when I first read about it was, why are we mad about this?? CSM is literally the most unreliable narrator in history???? it's obviously fake news?????? this must be either a fever dream someone's having or it's a misdirection ploy against whatever shadowy forces might still be lurking?????????????? but for whatever reason I guess I had halfway written that off.) Happily, just last month there's a new post-s11 novel out, and although reviews for the book as a whole are mixed, it seems to have laid the groundwork for resolving that plot issue in a way I think most fans would be broadly happy with. If you're interested in being spoiled about that and seeing how, I recommend searching #perihelion on @agent-troi who liveblogged reading it with receipts, scroll back chronological-style to the first post on the subject and see how it unfolded. (And never forget that Dana Katherine Scully is the queen of denial as a coping mechanism lol)
Everyone's mileage will vary. Each person can feel however they want! But for anyone new, I wanted you to know that the very many ventposts you might be seeing are not all there is to this show or its fandom. Some of us love it despite - or even because of - all the things that went "wrong". I think we just don't talk about it as much.
#i don't talk about it much because tbh it can get *fraught*. and i've had that in other fandoms too.#i added and deleted so many qualifiers from this post over it lmao#people are passionate about fandom which is great! as a concept#but it sucks feeling like most people hate the thing you love or that - however diplomatically it's phrased - you should hate it too#or that folks think maybe you *would* be mad if you just looked at it a certain (sometimes seemingly cast as the 'correct') way#basically it's insane that half the time when i see people standing up and praising the revival i'm like 'damn bruh. you brave'#and feeling that way is partly a me thing. but i've seen posts that also lead me to believe it's not JUST a me thing yaknow?#i always wonder whether the 'vocal subset' in any given fandom who hate a thing are really the majority that they appear to be#or if they just appear to be the majority because they've needed to be vocal about it as a sort of internet support group thing lol#which fair enough i mean anyone's entitled to be disappointed or have feelings#for me? i don't think i can remember ever being mad about a series i liked#i'm just here for the vibes man i very rarely have fixed notions#i say to the writers: go ahead and surprise me. i'll make sense of pretty much anything they throw at me#i also think about a dd quote i saw ages ago that as an actor you (paraphrased): can't say 'the character would not do that'#...because if it's in the script then by definition they *did* do that. it's right there on the page.#and that's kind of me as a fan too.#p.s. i fucking love season 8 i love angst and holy shit it delivers. the new characters are fantastic the journey is *chef's kiss* and#yes i consider certain temperamental even assholeish behavior to also be *chef's kiss* there's so much trauma so much reason for it#it's be-yoo-ti-ful 💕 season 8 my beloved 😍#anyway watch it all watch none do what you want. just know that there are people who would cuddle the whole damn thing from start to finish#like a floppy wet lil raggedy ann doll if only they COULD#x files#the x files#txf revival#txf thoughts#i love you floppy wet raggedy ann doll
