based on the gift of silence.

#collei #cyno #genshin impact #I`ll just start tagging this #fanart #The characterization of everyone in this fic is so so so so good #never like soft-washing characters #nor making them flippantly edgy #the pain thoughts and actions are just so realistic #falling in love with every character that gets a pov fr #the text and image dont align exactly so itd fit the vibes and the vibes had to be contrasting #I still want to do another one with the statue scene #it really made me pause and like #take a deep breath #the gift of silence

I’m crying at the idea of Viktor just storming up to Jayce with his “visions.” Girl You Need Help. You Require Medical Attention

This is literally how Jayvik is talking to each other in the lab

#Viktor and his “““visions”””#shut up lmao #and then he ends up in the hospital this episode #WELL I WONDER IF THERE WAS ANY SIGNS #when my girl starts having visions I don’t question her I follow it like a prophecy #I hope they never get therapy what they have going on is much funnier #now I’m just imagining Jayce talking to the doctor #Doctor: was there any signs?#Jayce: No none that I can think of….well he did tell me he was having visions #...but I thought he was just being brilliant #those edits are so shitty I just couldn’t be bothered to make them look good. I opened the app thats enough effort from me #also we all know viktor would never go idk if this makes sense>_< but just imagine it’s Jayce paraphrasing him in a way that would piss him #off ok? ok #I was trying to grab screenshots and this made me pause he really said Jayce listen to my visions and Jayce said ok:) shoot #viktor locked in and jayce checking himself out in the mirror is funny by itself tbh #em talks #jayvik #arcane

my favorite type of scene is when all four of them are onstage but two of them are having a conversation for the audience to hear and the other two are silently stagecrafting whatever they want.

bonus: luke playing two characters at once while the other three play ping pong in the background

#sfth #shoot from the hip #alexander jeremy #luke manning #sam russell #tom mayo #shootimpro #the hobnob affair #clarissa's diy wedding #are there any more from the youtube longforms that im missing i feel like there's gotta be more but i couldn't think of any #it really shows off their chemistry as a group when they're able to fade in and out of 2 separate conversations happening at once #without talking over one another. like i remember doing high school theater and scenes like these had to be meticulously blocked #out on stage. and even with a script there was sort of a rhythm to the way dialogue flowed so that things made sense to the audience #and no one accidentally talked over one another. and also so that there wasn't too long of a pause between lines #so the fact that they're able to seamlessly do this while improving is so cool to me #in the suspicious creme brulee the restaurant scene specifically comes to mind. and it's Chaotic and that's part of the comedy but still #it's so fun and so impressive. anyways another case of me yapping for way longer in the tags compared to the actual text of the post lmao

I'm doing my first reread of the back half of Dunmeshi, having forgotten a lot of the details of what happened because I read it all so fast (three days for the whole manga from start to finish) and damn. This panel from chapter 54. This fucking panel.

I'm sure I'm late to the party here and someone else has already talked about this but this panel is just. This whole sequence is just such a stark illustration of who Kabru is when the chips are down. He's out of his element. His plan to get the people out of the dungeon safely failed catastrophically in a way he (naively) didn't predict, but the Canaries did, and planned ahead for in exactly the way that is the most upsetting to Kabru personally. He's being actively retraumatized at this very moment by the panic as people flee, as people get poisoned outside Pattadol's barrier.

And he still saves this man.

He doesn't know this guy! He had never seen him before in his life. Everyone else in that crowd was already too late to save. But this guy wasn't! This guy wasn't, and Kabru put his neck on the line to rescue him without hesitation. His first thought was for identifying the person still trapped so he could be rescued. He didn't think for an instant about his own safety. The instant concern is not an act! Look at his face!

He didn't have to save this man... Except that he did, because of who he is as a person. There is no innocent human life that is disposable to Kabru, despite what the red herring of his reaction to the thieves at the beginning was. This is who Kabru is.

#that panel legit made me cry #with the context of the whole series that panel was like being punched in the face with how GOOD Kabru is #the visuals are so... like. The symbolism. The pause in the middle of this disaster that is just. this one man's gratitude.#UGH. IT KILLS ME.#Also it's not for nothing that the very next panels are Mithrun asking how he knew #and Kabru feeling like it's so obvious that you can see it in their faces #it seems to be a turning point of respect for him for Mithrun too #just. it really just sums up HOW MUCH Kabru is just. Altruistic to his core. He loves other human beings so much.#UGH. JUST KILL ME.#Kabru #dungeon meshi #Dunmeshi Spoilers #Isan0rt meta

He was suddenly stunned by a realization he could no longer avoid, which was this: he was now an alien on his own world.

and

He could sense, too, the thrill of being a tree, which was something he hadn't expected. He knew that it felt good to curl your toes in the earth, but he'd never realized it could feel quite as good as that.

These bits stuck out to me while reading.

#Pov this guy's odyssey just came to an end but he's not the man he used to be and this is Not His Home! Hilarious!#Fr tho the first one made me pause and think about how at least as of the fourth book (havent read mostly harmless yet)#There's not really coming back. Like the dolphins did some freaky shit #But that's not truly his earth is it?#He's never Truly coming back be it this or the time travel #And I like the slight tragedy of that. But. Gonna hold my horses. As I said idk what happens next lol #The second one was riding on the coattails of the first and provoked some vivid imagery as well #Arthur went and connected with the earth ig. Good for him good for him #the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy #h2g2 #arthur dent #my art #so long and thanks for all the fish #Art

What poor an instrument May do a noble deed! he brings me liberty. Eve Best as CLEOPATRA in ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ (2014)

#i always feel compelled to add context in case people are unfamiliar with the play #but here is where Cleopatra is committing to the idea of killing herself in order to defy and escape Caesar and join her love: Antony #this is (at least to me) a battle cry #her mind is made up and there is no feebleness of fickleness in her - she will not be inconstant or changeable like the moon or “like women #her will will not be shaken and there is no other path #etc etc blah blah blah i wonder if we can compare this with other instances of shakespeare's women casting off female weakness #(oh god that i were a man / unsex me here etc etc)#eve best #cleopatra #antony and cleopatra #william shakespeare #my gifs #i also love the delivery of this & i love the way she uses the verse & the pauses & then difference of care between the colon & semi-colon #i would have giffed the start of the speech but she takes these really beautiful pauses so it's just SO long for gifs

Hey Merchant, I hope you're doing okay after that! Just remember we're all human, don't beat yourself up for it! It's amazing that you actually clicked and had the time to apologize and write a whole paragraph about it, tho tbh to me specifically I didn't think you need to do it? But reading it made me click too!

Hope ur doing well now, here have an old BurningCheese doodle of them bickering hehe

Aww it's fine. Don't worry about me. I just woke up today suddenly feeling different about things and I felt like I had to say something about it. I've been quite rude in a couple of posts and replies the past couple of days and that was wrong of me. I owe everyone an apology for that, that's all there is to it. I appreciate your concern though, that means a lot to me

And thank you for the doodle ❤️ it's so Them, I love it. Tell him what's what, queen!!! Y'all will start making out soon anyway lolololololol

Your art style is really adorable and charming ❤️ idk how often you post your art but if it isn't common, then I encourage you to reconsider! And thank you again for reaching out, I'm touched you took the time to do so. Especially right now, because I don't really feel like I deserve it haha

#funny thing about this is #i paused while i was writing that apology post to do something else #and then when i came back i started peeking at other blogs for a minute just out of random curiosity #and an artist i really like/admire made a post about this whole thing and their feelings about it. and it made me feel 1000x worse haha #they were so upset and i honestly felt even guiltier than i already did. because I'm guilty of the behaviors they talked about #and what hit me hardest was when they said there are blogs they want to follow but don't because they're so annoying about shipping #blogs they otherwise like because the users have cool thoughts/ideas #it might be a little self-absorbed of me but i read that and thought “... is this me? are they referring to me?”#and the thought of someone whose work i really enjoy thinking that of me stung so bad that i actually felt my stomach drop haha #i actually wanted to cry reading through that post. i still kind of do several hours later haha. i feel like trash #I've been trash recently and i really do feel like i ought to apologize for it #none of this is worth getting so uppity about and i hate that i lost sight of that for a bit #i hope you can all forgive me for being such a petty jerk. i want to go back to Silly Merchant Hours #cookie run kingdom #burningcheese #goldenspice #merchant asks

#i’ve had this thing stuck in my mind for months now #where they meet again in the next life #and it’s like the satosugu kfc breakup except the opposite #they’re in the crowd and they’re going about their own way #but then they walk past each other and they’re like WAIT.#and they both turn around to look at the other #and they’re standing there just staring at each other thinking “oh it’s you. it’s really you. i found you again”#ok this is so unserious after that scenario i just made but imagine a pause of like three seconds and then sukuna immediately SPRINTS away #from yuuji like a dog that has something in his mouth and you tell him to come here. and yuuji starts chasing him yelling “COME BACK LET ME #LOVE YOU WE ARE /SO/ DOING IT THIS TIME AND YOU KNOW IT”#i love them your honor #my post

#all my recent catcher in the rye talk made me want to reread it and i cried ! just now! chapter 5 #'all the talk' i say and it was only 1 person who commented to ask of it was an easy read haha #but my reply was long so it feels like i've been talking about it a lot #anyway i really love it so much! i wish i could lend my brain to people who don't fw it so they would feel what i feel #i burst into tears reading that part in which holden starts talking about his brother allie #i hate that it's suddenly so hip to hate on this book #no no i bet it's always had its haters #so anyway since i had to pause because i started crying i was googling some things about it and came across a reddit post saying it is -#overrated and naturally i clicked the link and everyone there agrees and their main argument is #'you have to be a certain age to RELATE (there's that wretched word again!) to holden'#and 'if you read it when you're an adult you understand he's such an annoying edgy kid'#and other awful takes such as holden being a sigma male 😐🔫#you really have to be some sort of dumbass!!#i don't mean you're a dumbass if you don't like the book. i mean dumbass if you have a stupid reason to dislike it. like those #what's up with this obsession with 'relatable' characters or 'likeable' characters 😐#and the selective reading? so many people questioning holden's mental illness and saying he was just an annoying teenager #like? read a little between the lines pls! he says his brother is dead so casually!!! but it's so obvious he's not coping with that loss #or anything else #anyway. such a polarizing book 🧘🏻‍♀️ nobody is neutral about it. they either hate it or love it #@ people who don't like tcitr pls at least read franny and zooey by salinger #and if you also don't like that one then fuck off 🧘🏻‍♀️

I’m happy for the little life I built for myself

#there’s a lot of ways to go #i am nowhere NEAR the dream life I really want to attain #or the dream person I want to be #but high school me #hell even freshman in college me #would GAWK at the life I have so deliberately made happen.#the solid network of friends I have #the confidence I’m slowly but surely growing into #the discipline I’m harvesting bit by bit. i do not claim perfection but I am 100% improving #I’m just happy idk! i don’t compare myself at all now bc I know I’m on the right track #especially compared to where I was like 5 years ago. such a different mind state from now #and no one can take that away from me #there’s a lot more to go. a lot more. but I thought I’d pause and be intentionally grateful for what has been accomplished #bc it actually puts things into perspective to look at the past rather than just look to the present. it creates contentment #i get so caught up being hard on myself for not accomplishing certain things yet #that I forget I pulled myself out of such a deep rut by the skin of my teeth #and that’s important to keep in mind even as you progress to your goals #anyway <333 happy content in my own lane etc etc #p

I'm not ready to shut up about Aveline and Carver--so, when you go see Aveline in Act 1, you can catch up with her a little bit and that's where this conversation can happen:

Aveline: "It's just one more change, though. The real end for me was Ostagar. What about you, Carver? You were there. Do you feel something similar?" Carver: No. Aveline: All right, then. Bit of a tit, your brother.

I wanted to see what she would say if Carver isn't in the party. Instead, she says this:

Aveline: Carver was there. I imagine he feels something similar. If he allows it.

......well, at least she didn't call him a tit?

#dragon age 2 #da2 #carver hawke #aveline vallen #she's slightly nicer to him when he's not there but she's still like 'maybe he feels something similar but probably pretends not to'#like i'm not gonna pretend that carver doesn't bottle any feelings--he doesn't openly talk about bethany a lot for a reason #but to suggest he pretends to be unfeeling about things like ostagar is incorrect like he CLEARLY feels a lot about it #because he associates the battle at ostagar with losing his home and sister to the darkspawn #after playing as a warrior hawke who is best friends with aveline i do have a little more insight into why she might think this about carve #when hawke is a warrior they were at ostagar. they share that traumatic experience with aveline and if they're friends #they discuss it in a way that i think aveline *wants* y'know? but with carver he doesn't respond the way she wants him to #so she gets frustrated since even if she tried to talk to hawke about it... hawke wasn't there. hawke doesnt KNOW what ostagar #was like but carver does... but it's like aveline is ready to assume the worst of carver a lot of the time?#like 'carver doesn't talk about it because he's a tit who pretends not to feel' is the vibe i get from this but aveline...#that's like calling you a tit because you don't want to openly discuss all your feelings about your dead husband #listen aveline and carver are so similar but they have such key differences like they both survived the horror of ostagar #and lost a loved one to darkspawn while fleeing lothering AND they both blame hawke for it to a degree #even though they both know that's not right and that it wasn't really hawke's fault #they're both stubborn warriors with daddy issues looking to find their place #and when it comes to flirting? well i don't think carver's as bad as aveline #but i played MotA i know all about 'you could tame its wild heart'#but the key differences come in how they the end the game y'know? especially if carver's on the friendship path as a warden #i still haven't made him a templar but something tells me he ends up more on the same road as aveline #vs when he's a grey warden and able to be away from kirkwall and find a place on his own #y'all i could write a whole essay on aveline and carver but i paused my game to write this so i should go back to that sksksk

Starting a collection

#sweet pool #lamento beyond the void #paradise vn #n+c #pil/slash #blvn #vn soundtracks with weird ass noises #they only really start at around 1min in surrealism shell but when it's looping ingame they feel much more prominent #the clicking in chills01 made soooo uncomfortable at first #and the sounds in yotsutsu no honoo actually made me think of wet snakes slithering around #while surrealism shell started as just a fun weird little track #but after listening to it on loop for a while when i paused the game it's like i can feel my sanity slipping away lmao #it's giving stray cats in heat screaming at 2am

i do wish i wasn't so scared to express affection now. like i'm so worried that at any point the person receiving it will decide it makes them uncomfortable and withdraw without telling me why or what i did wrong

#and of course i notice the change but i have no idea why it happened and i try to go along with it until i break down and cry and beg them #to tell me what changed. crazy how one relationship can really fuck up your ability to get close to people again like #i feel like i need to keep everyone at a distance lest i get attached for real and fuck things up again #and i don't want to! i don't want to perform i don't want to hold myself back but i am soooo scared <3 #this is inspired by my last rb the whole “not to gross you out” thing made me pause like oh haha i have actually grossed someone out by #having romantic / nonsexually intimate fantasies #trixie talks

literally laughed out loud at Matt's face when he admitted that Lester was trying to hide something, truly the scrungliest detective in Newfaire

#which. given the vibes. is probably saying something.#made a joke immediately before the episode to not ask if I'm using references and then this happened and I was like #'wait I can use beacon for important things. like pausing the current episode while it's airing live on my laptop for ref purposes.'#if you're like 'jeez megs. you keep bouncing around a lot in terms of styles and feels lately. what's up with that.'#the answer is that I need to be able to do literally whatever my brain puts forth as a challenge so I gotta practice many things.#or I'll die.#anyway this turned out very well for what I was going for. delighted with that!#but pencil/charcoal shading from ref was my thing in high school so I'm not surprised I can still maintain that well enough #been a WHILE since I've done pencil shading on csp but it's very fun. I should really find some decent graphite pencils again.#OR SOME DECENT CHARCOAL sorry I keep failing to find charcoal pencils I like and it's driving me nuts #candela obscura #co spoilers #lester shaw #critical role fanart #my art

been watching The Apothecary Diaries (big shoutout to @howlsmovinglibrary this absolutely does have an Ouran vibe) and having a grand old time with this delightful and delightfully wild show but I will never stop taking psychic damage about the bodyguard is a grandfather?? Gaoshun is a grandfather and Jinshi is baby? tiny young baby?? They look basically the same?!?!?!?!

#the apothecary diaries #just finishing season 1 episode 20 and the lore drop on ages shocked me more than any other revelation so far #I had to pause the show and walk it off #they really slapped some eye bags on that man and said ‘yeah that’ll do’#every time he made an Old Man comment I thought it was like. a joke! or like a ‘kids these days’ joke!#what do you mean he has a grandchild?!?!?!?!#anyway this show is so much fun and so weird #I don’t know how to pitch it but it’s very fun #the first episode is not a great representative of the vibe give it like three episodes if you try it #living my life #anyway back to watching whatever happens next I guess. a grandfather. what the fuck.
