i know the whole “he doesn't like being stared at” is supposed to be spooky, but i'm just imagining Mr Bonzo being super self-conscious and breaking into tears the moment someone makes eye contact with him.

Sorry not sorry but I just finally downloaded some of the Star Trek novel books… and because I’m a rebel and a huge sucker for Dr. McCoy I’m starting with Doctor’s Orders.

DOCTORS COULDNT BE EVERYWHERE SO THE LORD MADE VULCANS?!?!? Then called Spock LOGICAL??
Anyways I hear wedding bells
#you don’t understand#in the south saying “so the lord made is backhanded compliment#usually because it’s some grumpy older guy that’s trying to say thank you or let you know that he appreciates you#And this is a high compliment#while still being able to be snarky#because of course he doesn’t have feelings#star trek#Star Trek books#spones#spock/mccoy#star trek tos#UQB reacts#Vulcans#doctors

there's a lot to say about Renee and Douglas now that we know a lot more about them in chapter 3a and i hope to make some posts later and put this url to good use but their relationship is. genuinely so interesting now that we see it in-depth
and what caught me so off guard is they're. sort of kind of rad? like not really because they're actually the worst imaginable but like. AU where they killed Douglas's parents, stole the cash and jewelry, and got an abortion and living a life on the run and goddamn those two are easily the protagonists of their own kind of thing. if they killed grandmama and grandpapa graves and yeeted that fetus they could've been the protag of their own things of two teenage murderers on the run and they would've been rad
i've been thinking of this nonstop for like 3 days now
#the coffin of andy and leyley#tcoaal#tcoaal spoilers#renee graves#douglas graves#absolutely obsessed with renee turning grandma's backhanded compliment about her raising kids young back on her#even though it's casually talking about aborting the kids in front of said kids (if she even noticed them)#they're. very interesting

‘Oh Curly down bad for Pony’ ‘oh Curly is such a simp for pony-‘
NO
PONY is down and for Curly.
pony, who grew up having loving parents, who knows what love should look like and how to show it, would OBVIOUSLY be the down bad on.
curly was literally running from his parents every other day because of abuse. His mom and step-dad were constantly at each other’s throats and he was never truly shown love- even with Tim and Angels because THEY ALSO grew up in that environment(they do love each other so much trust)
Curly doesn’t know how to show love at all, and Pony knows how to show so much of it.
pony is down bad, Curly is very confused on what’s happening.
#Let’s be honest they would both be down bad but pony would the only on to show it#Curly does not know how to show love at ALL#He just bottles it up or sm until they try and talk it through#He’ll give backhanded compliments bc it’s the nicer version of what his parents said to each other#Pony never takes it to heart bc he known Curly doesn’t mean to insult him#Chat am I on to something or on something???#curly shepard#ponyboy curtis#papercut ship#purly#ponyboy x curly

While browsing Vogue magazine, Sébastien Mitton found a photograph of Ruby Aldridge from the Céline Fall 2011 fashion show. He said, “Boom! We have the direction!” Her beauty and her unsettling gaze drove the first concept art for Emily.

#dishonored#emily kaldwin#arkane studios#ruby alridge#i thought this was pretty interesting in terms of backstory#esp compared to some of the earlier sketches#especially given how little they deviated from that silhouette and hair!#even her final character face is barely different#i hope someone's like. thanked ruby alridge for this at least#i've had a pic of me used as art reference for a large public thing before without my consent lmao its like. THE backhanded-est compliment#anyway frustratingly when I try to add proper links in here tumblr has glitched. but the quote is from the bethesda site#Celine pics from Vogue#and the gorgeous pic of aldridge from an article about her band diet choke which I will try to link tomorrow. Tumblr why

you can turn off reblogs on whatever posts you want. to avoid that happening again
no i mean i reblog other people’s posts and then the people who reblog those posts directly from me do that and i have to just see it in my activity and wince. the only thing i can do to prevent that is just not share posts that i like because i don’t trust my followers to act normal. which is obviously not ideal for me
#i should just start blocking but i feel like people who dont often make posts or get posts going around#maybe dont realise how irritating it is when you post about a character#and then get people’s dislike or backhanded compliments for that character funnelled directly into their activity page#its very disheartening#*your activity page

tbh there’s something deeply ironic about sparkpelt getting a bland suffix because the editors vetoed “sparkfire” and yet alderheart gets to have firestar’s warrior suffix, in how we are meant to see sparkpelt as a privileged brat but alderheart is the scorned underdog, but the text itself actually heavily implies the opposite. but idk im too tired to really think on it
#makes me wanna dig deeper in my au concept that bramble is actually harder on spark because of the firestar resemblance#and gave her the ‘’pelt’’ suffix as a backhanded compliment. youre not like firestar! youre nothing.

Drake Socialite Murdered!
Deborah Donovan B.A.
Janet ’Jane’ Lynn Drake (neé Crowne), a beloved mother and wife passed away on June 21, 2020 at the age of 43.
Born in Gotham, NJ, on January 10 1981, Janet was the daughter of the late Mr. Marvin Noel Crowne and Ms. Patricia Lynn.
She is additionally predeceased by her half brother, James “JT” Thomas Crowne.
She is survived by her husband, Johnson “Jack” Drake, and her 14 year old son, Timothy Jackson Drake.
At the time of her death, she and her husband were kidnapped and ransomed while traveling to assess and provide relief work to the impoverished within the Caribbean islands. During rescue, she was poisoned and declared dead on the scene. Her husband, Mr. Drake is currently recovering.
From a young age, she loved history, the arts, and traveling. Many enjoyed discussions with her about artists, writers, and theater.
An associate of her late half brother recalled conversations between the two as fast paced, varied, and excessively thought provoking.
As a teenager, she was remembered tenderly for her beauty and self confidence. She had a smile despite any challenge she faced.
This bright attitude drew people to her. An old friend from her graduating class described her as a brave woman who was a delight to be around.
After her marriage to Mr. Drake, she became the CFO of Drake Industries. She was known by her associates as a diligent business woman with sharp wit and a sharper eye for character. She is credited for Drake Industries’ upstanding and honest reputation world wide.
Her employees remember her fondly for her unwavering direction and her equal dedication to her son and the company. Many recall the common sight of a 4 year old Timothy Drake carried protectively on her hip as she attended and led meetings.
Photo caption:
Mrs. Drake, May 15 2020, Wayne Charity Auction.
Jewelry Pictured: Auctioned For 4 Million Dollars And Donated To Ace Children’s Hospital (peepdraws)
She will be remembered by Gotham as a charming, noble, and innovative woman.
Her service will be held on December 24 at 4 pm at Pinkney C. Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, her Last Will and Testament requests donations to different charities listed on page 10.

Update on isat: This game is messing with my head.
Spoilers up to Act 4 below!
What.
The.
Hell.
I have no words. I feel every little thing in this game so hard. I don't know if it's the first person dialogue or what, but everything feels so real.
The end of Act 3 caught me so off guard and I was not mentally braced for it.
Fucking.
BONNIE.
Where is a flight of stairs I can push the king down.
Also, Act 4, still relating to Siffrin. Guess it's getting concerning now.
But
I can confidently say one thing above all else
GOD do I hate Loop so much
I want to draw them in horrific situations. I want to stab them. Repeatedly. They are so irritating, so smug, such an asshole, and if the game lets me at least slap Loop I will worship it forever.
I honestly don't want to play it anymore. It feels too real. Everything hits too hard. But I've been told I need to push through for the reward (a hopefully, at least bittersweet, good ending)
This and Outer Wilds are the games on my list of 'Entirely too frustrated with for little to no reason and I curse doodle for convincing me to buy them'
The only reason I play right now is because... well, I loved outer wilds once I finally beat it.
Maybe I'll love isat too.
Also the similarity to OMORI fuels me too. Sunny and Siffrin, one-eyed tragic little guys =(
#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#seriously though fuck the king i kinda want to strangle him in a hug#like yes hes undeniably a bad person but come on i love my villains#inviting him for tea and poisoning it#backhanded compliments to his face#i wanna hate him but i also wanna love him
