@lookingforcuteartsss HIIII omg. I hope you don't mind me making a whole post about this because I really just wanted to yap about... everything with this art piece!! Thank you for being curious about it hehehe >:D

so

The lightbulbs. They're a representation on how the Red Queen views the characters here. Her "children", both biological and adopted.

For more context in my AU/personal interpretation, Rumpel is actually taken in by the royal family at a young age!! He was an orphan causing trouble for the people of the island. Being the little mischievous goblin he is. Though the Queen wanted to deal with him permanently, her family (The King mostly) convinced her to take him in. Having the ability to raise Rumpel would surely be beneficial in the long run! There's no need to do anything rash, right? The Queen accepts this with hopes to have the chance to control Rumpel's powers in the future. He's introduced to the royal family very early on.

Of course things don't work out. Which leads me back to the light representation!!!

The Red Baroness has both a light and lightbulb shining down on her, but the bulb is cracked. It represents the fact that, to the Queen, the Baroness was her golden child. They would have been the heir to the throne! But instead the Baroness chooses to run away, ruining any chance of that legacy to continue. At least in the way Red Queen originally wanted...

The Prince has a lightbulb but no light shining down on him. He is the youngest child, the overlooked one. The Queen doesn't expect anything of him because she sees no potential in her own son. His existence is acknowledged, but he provides nothing to her. An awful way to view him, but sadly it's the sour truth.

Rumpel has a light on him but no lightbulb. He isn't truly the Queen's child. He's only a tool to power her own goal. But with all the destruction he's caused, the Queen wants nothing more than to crush him. To rid him as she should've done years ago. He had potential, but chooses to ruin it like the Baroness. They're kind of alike in that way, huh?

Each of her children have complicated emotions towards her as well. For the Baroness and Rumpel it's mostly anger. For the Prince it's sadness and longing.

It's a messy family. and i lovee writing messy families 😇😇😇

okay so i’m like half an hour late to his birthday but silly little cyhaino birthday fic based off that pet names post i made DONE and ready to read right HERE

...oh.

Just hit the part where Gale talks about how clean his tower is now again and it hit different. How he laughs it off but...like....cleaning, getting rid of stuff.

It's just a throw away line, but this guy collects bits and trinkets and books like no-tomorrow (just look at his camp spot!) and he's delighted by those things and, well, he's not exactly the master of organization over there. Him not having things - well, it's not about the things he's giving up - it's about the fact that he'd given up so why on earth would things matter? Even if they had been special or important to him once.

Gale is a depressed, burned out GT kid who got screwed over by the system (and person in this case because the person is the system and the system is the person) who originally told him he was special and has completely and utterly had his sense of self-worth nuked (hah) by a mistake that he really wasn't in a position to be able to avoid given all of the above circumstances because what other path could he have possibly taken and not been a failure for not trying anyways?

He is desperately trying to keep his burn out from hurting or disappointing any more people and he thought that isolation is the only way to really do that.

And his sole lifeline to any semblance of actual sanity seems to be his cat.

UGH....I AM GALE. GALE IS ME. FUCK. No fucking wonder I want to cry when my Tav tells Gale he's worthy exactly as he is and again when our wizard wonder starts believing it.

Okay, I have 'returned' from my minor Tumblr absence. I say 'returned' because I never truly properly left, as you might've noticed from the few things that I reblogged onto my main and whatnot. Part of it was just a break, but the other major part of it was... I went to a concert!!! Of one of my favorite bands that means so, so much to me.

Big tangent below that isn't very selfshippy related.

Now, I don't know how much I mention NSP on here, perhap's I have once or twice when talking about songs that I've added to my F/Os playlists, but I don't think I ever really went on anything too lengthy. And I know I've mentioned Game Grumps a few times on here as well- definitely not as much as Jerma- but One of the co-hosts of Game Grumps is the lead singer in NSP, and both NSP and Game Grumps mean a lottt to me, even if I don't mention them often. They've gotten me through a lot for a very long amount of years, ever since I was around 11~ish. Made me laugh, helped me sleep, relax, entertained me, and have said a lot of motivational and heartwarming things that have helped kept me going. Getting tickets to go see the band was nearly entirely on impulse, which is something that I don't really ever do, but this was beyond worth it. It... it felt like it reset my brain, almost. If that makes any sense. Like my brain was a computer that had been running on sleep mode ever since it first booted up and finally got restarted for the first time ever. I'm upset that I can't have the entire thing burned into my memory second by second cause it was incredible. The lights and noises were overwhelming at first and I had moments questioning if I should regrettably step away but I managed to cool myself down. It was magical, there was some crying, there still IS some crying, and probably always will be, and they did some really cool "Hey, however you identify or who you love is completely okay with us." TWRP was also there, which is a slightly longer story, but they were also brilliant. I used up a lot of my energy and tears during their songs that I didn't have any left for the songs that I actually anticipated crying over! I could go on for ages about it, but I wouldn't have chosen anything else. I actually think I needed this. It feels like I can think like...better. More clearly. I feel more relaxed about my future and spending money and just...UGH. There are the watery eyes. Maybe because I anticipated crying during some of the NSP songs it didn't hit me, but the TWRP stuff really came at me from out of left field and the little intermission dialog and..man. maaann. It was really funny as well and. I wish I could remember it forever I really really do. I never thought I would ever get to see any artists that I enjoyed live, honestly. Most of them don't tour anymore or are all UK based, and I didn't know if or when NSP would tour again, nonetheless if they would be anywhere close to me. I HAD to. And I'm glad I did.

I know this perhaps sounds like every other description expereince of someone going to a concert but.It just felt so good. To be in a room where I practically felt like I could just.. be myself. I will say the worst thing to come from all of this is just potentially slowly forgetting details and that now I will get FOMO over any and all future concerts that they ever have. Concerts aren't really my thing but that.. was magic. And inspiration and awe and. I still can't get over TWRP's songs and the little intermissions about the lead singer hyping us up over our humanly hidden potentials.

It's almost hard to listen to any of their songs now after listening to them live! My phone camera desperately needs to be cleaned so the few pictures that I got during the moment we were allowed to have phones out are really fuzzy. I got a really good spot standing at the top of some small staircases so I could see over everyone(and it was also a good spot to sit/lean against the railings). It was worth it. it was worth it all. It was worth the sleepiness and hunger and thirst and frustrations. In fact it exceeded that.

I also got to stop by an IHOP and BurgerKing and ironically I love both of those places and yet neither of them are within like an hour drive of me.

3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of? From the ask game

deadass did not expect anyone to actually ask stuff from that game lmao

ANYWAYS, 3 FILMS I WOULD GLADLY WATCH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE AND NOT GET BORED OF ARE (and why):

1.) The Lost Boys (1987)

let me start this by saying that i fucking love vampires, the romanticism of them- just everything about vampires i love. the way that portrayal of the vampires in this movie is definitely one of my vampires, not to mention i’m a slut for 80s gothic films. it’s also definitely not lost of the queer undertones of Michael who is drawn and seduced of sorts during his first encounter with David. i have watched this movie repeatedly (everyday for a week straight) and i found new reasons to love it every time.

2.) Dead Poets Society (1989)

this movie holds a special place in my heart as a former theatre kid and as a writer who had to deal with really strict family members. i love the messages in this film of finding your voice and learning from experience, it’s such a beautiful film and i cry whenever i watch it. i could go on for ages about Dead Poets Society, i definitely could never get tired of watching it.

3.) Superman (1978)

there is a variety of reasons i love this film from the fact that Superman will forever be my favorite superhero hero to the fact that i am so incredibly gay and Christopher Reeves is hot in it. it’s definitely a comfort watch and the way that they show the transition between Clark Kent to Kal-El is the best depiction i have seen.

10/10 definitely recommend watching any of these movies if you haven’t seen them already! i spend too much time watching movies and even more time watching these three lmao

also, honorable mention: scream (1996), reason being because i love matthew lillard
