#I cannot be bamboozled

[sparklecryptid]

I love being a nobody on here because I could make one of those ‘if this gets ‘x’ amount of notes I’ll go and actually work on my original works’ and it wouldn’t get near the goal

[napping-sapphic]

Sure you could fall in love with me but would you put up glow in the dark stars all over our bedroom walls with me? Would you paint our mailbox fun colors with me? Would you make pancakes in silly shapes and buy knickknacks we’ll never use and pick up hobbies we won’t stick to with me? Would you live and be silly and be a little dumb and be a genius and be confident and lazy and kind and angry and everything? Would you give me absolutely every side of yourself that you can??

@chibifox2002 after seeing what you wrote in your reblog's tags I couldn't help but doodle something whoops. the boys be bamboozled

(I imagined it'd be Janet's hand because. You cannot tell me she wouldn't I wouldn't believe you /hj)

[orengejoshi]

these trannys man…

this ask is like. a year old. nearly. I remember which art prompted that.

I usually wouldn't answer that, but I gotta give it to you anon you've baffled me. I'm stumped. bamboozled even if you dare to go that far.

I just cannot for the life of me figure out if this is an attempt at insulting me / my art (keyword: attempt)

or if this is meant in good faith, like he's confused but he's got the spirit

is this disappointment? swooning? how am I supposed to read that, I need clear instructions on my desk by 12

either way I made art for you. because if this is approval then you'll be really happy about this. if this is disapproval then it's spite and you can suck my ass

silly headcanons about Winx characters’ home planets (part 1)

Linpheans rarely say, “I love you”. to them, it does not encapsulate the depth of their devotion properly.

instead, they use words that are much more… “poetic.”

for example, Bloom would casually thank Flora for helping her apply a salve to a burn of hers:

”thanks, Flo, love ya!”

and Flora would earnestly reply:

“My soul, I would part with my liver sooner than I would part with you.”

which… intense for us, Eartherns, but for Linpheans — love is not something to be treated casually.

among Linphean vernacular: “my soul”, referring to any one person you love; “my liver”, when referring to a friend you cannot live without; “my sun/moon/flower”; “my pillar”. also, when talking about a couple: “those, who were fated by the stars”.

(fun fact, all of these are real terms of endearment I took from my language <3)

she is very openly affectionate with her girls, but it takes her a bit of time to start acting similarly with the boys.

Helia and Timmy are decently well-travelled/well-learnt, so they know of this Linphean custom and are not surprised. Nabu absolutely returns the same energy to her.

Brandon just kinda takes it at face value (“you are my lifetime, friend” “👍”).

but Sky and Riven are absolutely bamboozled by how sweet Flora is, and try to awkwardly reciprocate.

like, Flora patches Riven up after a battle, and pats him on a back with:

“let the rivers of our lives cross together into an ocean forevermore, my golden friend.”

and Riven looks more scared than he ever was fighting goddamn Valtor, and whispers:

“you smell very nice?..”

Riven is obviously uncomfortable being as vulnerable and affectionate as she, so he resorts to using sweet nicknames (a-la “dove”, “love”, “sunshine”) and giving Flora compliments.

Sky is also unused to this level of affection, so whenever he is forced deal with it — he just malfunctions. literally dissociates. cannot reply for a solid twenty minutes.

He does think it’s very sweet though, so he starts taking care of Flora like a little sister. making sure she always has a little snack on a mission, giving her his jacket when it’s cold out, importing rare flowers for her, etc.

after a couple of years together, the winx and the specialists adopt this way of expressing endearment into their vernacular, and confuse the shit out of everybody else.

Yea, it was a very amusing and easy to follow slice-of-life type sketch, and it served well to set exactly the sort of playful, ever so slightly self-deprecating tone that David Tennant is known for, which was the whole point.

I have noticed, whilst perusing through a goodly portion of commentary over the last day or so in fan spaces, that the majority of people who say the sketch was confusing are usually just… a bit possessive of their favorite actors — very fandom hipster-esque, with a tendency to play up the exclusivity of whatever or whomever it is they happen to like.

So not really a reflection of the sketch, itself; rather just a niche internal fandom thing, as far as I’ve ever seen. Well, at least, I hope it is. If it’s more than only that then that would be pretty disappointing. And perplexing.

I’ve seen a few posts saying that the BAFTA opening was probably confusing to people who hadn’t watched Staged or Good Omens (more so Staged, I suppose), but I don’t think so.

Opening sketches aren’t unusual for these types of shows. You find out fairly quickly that this guy (if you happen not to know David Tennant) is hosting the awards show. He has made a commitment to dogsit and has to get out of it, but the person (if you happen not to know Michael Sheen) he has promised will not let him out of it.

The host tries to find someone to dogsit in his stead, and, failing that, sneaks the dog in backstage and brings him out to the auditorium, only to discover the dog’s owner sitting in the front row.

There may be extra layers for people who are fans of these two gentlemen, but you don’t have to know anything about them to understand the sketch.

Pick a card: What does this person want to say to you? ❤️

Good evening lovely darlings! I'm back with another Tumblr Tarot post- for the delusional girlies, this is another What would this person want to say to you? Particularly love focused! This could be a message from a S/O- or F/s/o or perhaps even a f/o! Depending on your degree of delulu, ofcourse. :)

Pick a pile! Use the pics underneath or go based on intuition. Thankyou! ❤️

Oh, love of mine. What wonders there are to be found when you look into my eyes. This is all poetic, truly, but in my soul, the deepest parts of it, I know that you'll still be hoping to come back to me. It is the way things are. I can't change it- even if I wanted to. I watch you. I see you. I hope you know I do believe in you- I love you. When I see tears on your cheeks, streaking like some porcelain beauty, some victorian soul, gauging at what is left of me, gauging at what the eye cannot see, I long to hold your hand, softly press a kiss to it and tell you all I have seen in you that you do not see. I would take you to my favourite spot, walk the whole way just to talk to you, I would tell you what I have been wanting to let you know- that no matter where I am, or what you do, or who we are, in our very souls, we are always one and the same. We are alike. Perhaps in spirit, personality, or maybe just in how we devote ourselves to spirituality, or God, but I know that I am yours if you will be mine. But you haven't been coming to me. You don't want to be mine yet. I know you think you do- but you're not ready for this. Neither am I. I have found myself trying to build what was left- to build a new. I have found I wanted to incorporate more of the old into my new life and therefore I am struggling to find my way to you- it will show some day but I will make time free. Free time for you. I promise you this. I fear some day, you may leave me entirely. Yet even when this happens, I'm but a cinder. I'm but a memory. A distant person you once knew. Distant eyes you once reflected upon, talked to, listened to, hoped for, wished and yearned. I'll not be the same because you won't either. We grow with one another. Tell me you love me. I need to know this. I need you to tell it straight to my face, to my memory, to my thought, to my soul, just think it. Think, say, breathe it. I will know when you do. Thank you for thinking of me today, I appreciate it.

You'll always be my true love, you know? ❤️

It's in his kiss, that's where it is. You can feel when I love you truly, baby, because I would kiss you like you've never felt before. I'd go as slow as you want, as sensual as I could ever be, as loving as I could try, I would do it for you. I know we don't know each other that well yet. We are new. But even if you know me for a long time, this feeling is new. We haven't been together before- not in other lives. I haven't loved you yet. This is new to me. I think we would fit together.... I am confused about it however. I'm not really sure what I want. I know, I am indecisive. But with you- it does feel right, it does feel... like I am a child again kissing his first crush. It feels this way- which is why I think it's important that we continue to communicate, about what you want, about what I want... it'll make this easier because I can't smell what is on your mind. I can sense your feelings, I am very empathic, but I don't know what you're thinking. And I have the feeling you're led by your thoughts, just as I am. We are horrible in listening to ourselves. Perhaps, I am better at giving you advice than I am for myself but in truth, it should be me who has to do the work and approach you, romance you, love you, not the other way around. You're so kind to me- this bamboozles the shit out of me because I am not technically seen as an approachable nice person, so your energy it really confuses me for that reason. Am I not repulsive? Do you not... want to run away from me? You're making my bad thoughts about myself resurface and dissolve all the same. When I think or look at you, even for a second, I just know that I am looking at something good. I know this is something to be cherished. Can I trust my own feeling however? I'm not too sure. I want you to know this. Just to make some clarification about where I am right now. I am not trying to push you away- nor do I want you gone AT ALL I need you and I want you by my side but I am just a torn up dunderhead. Forgive me?

"She's one of my favourite things." This is what I say when people ask about you. Hm, yes, I know. From me? You're surprised. I know some days you may think I don't know you, or don't like you, but I do, I like you a lot. You're my princess, in any fairytale that exists. And the divine to my subservient self. I'd worship you. Cherish you. Because, I know, that for you not to leave me, I have to step up and treat you well. I will be forthcoming, I will be consistent, and I will try to make your life as much of a priority as I will mine. It's not black and grey with me. It's quite clear with me. I want you to be mine. I need to marry you- some day or now. I do not care when. That's how serious I am. That's how real this feels for me. I don't need to figure this out by a 10 hour astrology research to compare my charts to yours. I don't need to figure out via a deity about what time you're going to call or text. I need to know just one thing- and that is that I can trust my feelings. I want you to trust yours. If you do- if you do feel for me, If you do cherish me, or even like me, or god above, if you even love me, if you could, that you won't break it hard on me. Do it gently. Tell me how you love me, and when you leave me, so I know it's easier. If you ever leave me, I would try to have you one more day. I really would. Not in spite or because I want some silly disgusting energy break up sex but because...I would just want to look at you, once more, see you, breathe you, just touch your hand perhaps, or even your hair, to just sit there and tell you nothing or a lot. But I wouldn't ever try to hurt you, I will never try to do this I just hope... perhaps... that you won't hurt me, all right? Can you do this for me? Can you do everything gently? (Except the sex, I don't need it to be gentle ok) but you get what I mean. My heart, my feelings, are much more tender than I can confess. I may look tough. I may be someone you think is tough- perhaps I am, maybe I am also that, but one word of you can silence me forever. Trust on that. So use your words well with me, it'll be better for both of us. Don't you think? I love you. ❤️

God speed your love to me. You thought this was going to be the romantic pile, didn't you? Hahahaha! Bitch please! I am your worst nightmare. Just kidding, I am just incapable of showing you the love you so desire and dream of. What is it with you and me? You like me obsessively. Trust me, your guides and I have been chatting away for a bit and you're.... well, let's just say, you're at wits end about me, aren't you darling? Hehe. I like when you're mad. Some days, I just think how lovely it would be if you'd be in my arms and I could just... have a peek at that lovely chest of yours. Too dirty? I understand. You think I'm a pervert. Honestly, darling, I do too. That's what I hide behind, mostly, truthfully, I'm disgusting myself sometimes, especially during those solo hours. You don't want to believe the things I've thought about you- oh my god. If my life's work and thoughts would ever get published, it would be the biggest event of all lifetime. The world would stop. The M25 would be in a traffic jam all fucking year- don't know why, but it would, wouldn't it? Say, I know you from somewhere... that's what I always say, I always begin with that. And then, I would transgress your interest and I would try and lure you into thinking of me. And when you're thinking of me, I am thinking of how you're hopelessly and desperately thinking of me and then I'll- you know, get creative thinking of you. Honey, what am I to you? Though? Like- can we be real? Am I your friend? Your lover? Your nemesis? Your teacher? Your mentor? What the fuck are we? I am so confused ! 🤣 You say things that literally bolder me off the side of the road and throw me right into the cut. Like can we pretend that for one day, you and I aren't you and I and then we can be delusional together in our own little world? You'd like that right? Well, I would too. I need to escape whatever the hell this is, or this life is, and then we can get coffee and a drink or two and you can tell me what we're going to do about this, about us, because I can't stop thinking how we are going to solve this or do this or just... how. Hm :) You look good. Just wanted to say that. Take some medicine when you feel bad, especially cramps. Take good care of yourself. I could write to you forever- know that. You can reach out to me.

Bring out the BAMboozlers! 🪶

Watch out for the TUFF Guys!

dude, i cannot tell you how much i loved wild life :3

these backgrounds were painful though 🥲

[optimisticvoidenthusiast]

Obsessed with the final for wild life but particularly how from grians pov its so clear scar was the one thing standing between the bamboozlers and death. Like as soon as he flew the coop the rest of them were done for like a mother hen leaving its chicks to be swollowed by predators. Jimmy and Lizzy dying together in the bunker like?? Dos the symbolism stop? The bunker as the nest?? I cannot be normal about this.

[seriouslycalamitous]

There are so many little moments in Midnight Strangers that are so similar yet so different between each other, and its making me so insane:

• The way Grian uses “quiet” as a positive descriptor of his day in Chapter 3, then uses the same word as a negative descriptor of his evening in Chapter 4.

• The way Grian and Ringmaster eats dinner together in both chapters, both in their different comfort zones (Ch3 in Grian’s apartment, Ch4 in the Bam Bunker); both meals are tense (for Grian, at least), but Ch4 gave Grian a taste of ease alongside the weekly dose of heart attacks the Bamboozlers give him.

• The way Grian watches TV with his cats as a way to go back to normalcy in Ch3, only to find the normalcy lonely and bothersome in Ch4. The way the scene ends with Grian continuing this version of normal with ease in Ch3, while Grian waits for normalcy to return as he falls asleep at the end of Ch4. The way the cats are by his side in Ch3, yet are only noticed from their audible absence after the cats ate their dinners in Ch4.

• The difference within Chapter 4 itself, between Mumbo’s “I forgot you’re far too focused on your work to be aware of other people”, and the loneliness Grian felt at the absence of the Bamboozlers antics at the end of Chapter 4.

These details are so small and subtle, yet so impactful when it comes to learning about Grian. There are more parallels I found in other chapters, but I only had enough comprehension to specify these main ones for now. I cannot wait to find more subtle parallels hidden throughout the future chapters (/pos)

(I am so sorry if this is only partially understandable. I am running off of 3hrs of sleep and a dream)

AWWW these are VERY cool catches you did a great job <33 I love seeing analyses of my work i think that’s so neat!! <33 I can’t wait for you to see more in the future!
