Sad posting in the tags, you're free to ignore. Just need to get it out of my system and twit circle isn't sufficing.

I can trace back my fascination with Münchausen syndrome by proxy and forced infantilism as horror tropes directly back to watching the “mother may eye” episode of teen titans as a kid, like something about it rewrote a part of my brain and stayed with me for years. Being a child is already an inherently vulnerable position to be in being forced into the position of a child is the stuff of horror movies. Also there’s something about platonic/familial love so intense and twisted that it suffocates you and stunts your growth and chains you to the bed

professor: I’m just not sure what you expect to find in comparing these shows across cultures.

me: well...comparisons, mostly...

[goodobservationshirley]

I hadn’t read His Dark Materials in years (well over a decade), but I watched the show with my mom who hadn’t read the books, and I think the only change that I noticed that kind of bugged me (again assuming I’m remembering right) is Roger’s attitude in the land of the dead upon first seeing Lyra. That said, I completely understand why they made that change since I had to look up his actor to make sure it was the same kid, and clearly they needed a reason why he’s now like the same size as Lyra, but I do miss his unwavering faith in her that was in the books. I’m now planning on re-reading the books and am very curious if I am remembering the mulefa description correctly because the show is not how I pictured their legs at all.

the whole land of the dead thing is very different in the book

part of it i would say is just that it's a different form of storytelling and they had to rethink it to make it work in the time frame they had

but also the land of the dead, in the book, is kinda a huge moment for lyra's journey. she suddenly can't rely on what she does best (lie) and finds herself completely out of her depth. the problem is that we can spend a lot of time on this in the book because lyra lying almost by default and in a sort of childish easy way has been well established by that point, it's basically her defining characteristic

in the show? not so much. it is mentioned a few times that she's a liar, yes, but show!lyra is a bit older, hence less childish from the get go, and she's not so much of a fanciful liar as her book counterpart is. all these changes make sense for the show, but lyra-not-lying is only a meaningful part of the story if lyra-lying was an important part of it. it is in the book, but it isn't in the show

all that to say, yes the land of the dead scene is very different and i understand how it's the point where your memory would have been like 'wait a minute'. because of other changes they made, they kinda had to rework this moment to give it a bit of a different emotional weight. the change in roger's attitude to lyra is part of it

God bless your tags

Be honest was it the throat fucking one

[gayarograce]

This is my first time working on a large-ish codebase with other people for university am I doing this right?

[kittlyns]

I'm endlessly frustrated bc it's quickly becoming clear to me that I'm just not able to change out my earrings on my own, the lobe stacks were placed too close together, and I literally can't do anything to my right ear at all due to the angles the holes were pierced at. I've wanted this for so long and all it's done is give me grief.

So I was doing research for a fic and Google sent me a suicide hotline list.... thanks girlie but I'm good. This npc is not, however

[desertskiespodcast]

I tried to write a novel. Not once. Not twice. But about 12 times. Here's how that would play out: 1. I sit down and knock out 10 pages 2. I share it with someone 3. They say "It's goooood" like it's not good 4. I ask for critical feedback 5. They say, "Well....the plot just moves so quickly. So much happens in the first few pages it doesn't feel natural." So I'd write more drafts. I'd try to stretch out the story. I would add dialogue that I tried to make interesting but thought was boring. I would try including environment and character descriptions that felt unnecessary, (why not just let people imagine what they want?) Anyways, I gave up trying to write because in my mind, I wasn't a fiction writer. Maybe I could write a phonebook or something. But then I made a fiction podcast, and I waited for the same feedback about the fast moving plot, but guess what??? Podcasts aren't novels. The thing that made my novels suck became one of the things that made Desert Skies work. I've received some criticism since the show started, but one thing I don't receive regular complaints about is being overly-descriptive or longwinded. In fact, the opposite. It moves fast enough that it keeps peoples attention. I always felt I had a knack for telling stories but spent years beating myself up because I couldn't put those stories into novel form. The problem wasn't me. The problem was the tool I was trying to use. All that to say: If, in your innermost parts you may know that you're a storyteller but you just can't write a book, don't give up right away. You can always do things to get better and there's a lot of good resources. But if you do that for a while and novel writing just isn't your thing, try making a podcast, or creating a comic, or a poem, or a play, or a tv script. You might know you're an artist but suck at painting. Try making a glass mosaic, or miniatures, or try charcoal portraits, or embroider or collage. You might know you're a singer, but opera just isn't working out. Why not yodel? I could keep listing out examples, but the point is this. Trust your intuitions when it comes to your creative abilities, but don't inhibit yourself by becoming dogmatic about which medium you can use to express that creativity. Don't be afraid to try something new. Don't be afraid to make something new. You might just find the art form that fits the gift you knew you always had, and what it is might surprise you

❥ They think it's cute

He walks in on you, knuckle-deep in your soaked pussy, panties hastily pushed aside as you plunge your fingers into your dripping heat over and over again. You were too preoccupied with fucking yourself on your fingers that you didn’t even notice how the door to your bedroom closed, your boyfriend crossing his arms in amusement as he leaned against your dresser. He observes how his name falls from your lips like a broken prayer, your nose sniffling pathetically as you try too hard to rip an orgasm out of you. But sadly, your fingers were no match for his own, and they never will be. You squealed in delight as you finally hit that sweet spot that you so craved, only to have your moment of bliss interrupted by your boyfriend's gentle cooing.

“Did my baby miss me while I was working, hm? Don’t worry, sweet thing. I’ll just stand here and watch. Go on, try to make yourself cum without my help. You’re so fucking adorable, my precious angel.”

SUGAWARA, kuroo, yaku, ennoshita, UKAI, semi, hanamaki, kenma, OSAMU, kita

❥ They think it's stupid

He hears your oh-so-familiar moans behind your shared bedroom and busts in without a second thought. Who the hell was ripping those perfect noises from your pretty lips without his permission? Why, was it you, of course! A bullet vibration practically danced on your throbbing clit while your legs were spread like a slut, your slit drenching the innermost part. Your perfectly manicured hand squeezed your breast, your thumb rolling over your nipple whilst your pearly whites bit down on your bottom lip, hips bucking into the air on occasion. His eyes filled with fury as he ripped the vibrator off your clit, earning an annoyed moan from your slutty mouth.

“What the fuck is this, hm? You seriously couldn’t wait for me to get back so I could fuck you? Who the hell needs this stupid toy when you have me? That’s it. Get on all fours. Right now, don’t fucking test me.”

❥ They're completely starstruck

Oh, fuck. They have absolutely no idea what to do. He’s fantasized about this so much, and it’s finally fucking happening. He caught you bouncing on a dildo you had bought yourself, whimpering as the silicone head hit every spot so perfectly deep inside your gummy walls. His eyes landed on your pretty fingers, desperately swirling your clit, beads of sweat flying off your forehead. You looked so fucking ethereal, he had to say something. He just had to let you know how fucking pretty you looked!

“Holy fuck, you look so fucking pretty. Can you keep going for me, please? I wanna see you cum over and over again, please, baby girl. I’ll fuck you as much as you want, just put on a good show for me. God, you’re perfect.”

HINATA, yamaguchi, asahi, GOSHIKI, oikawa, akaashi, takeda, TANAKA

❥ They join you

His ears perk up once he hears you mewling in pleasure from your bedroom, eagerly slamming the door open to reveal your hands fucking a vibrating bullet in and out of your weeping cunt, the sheets beneath you a filthy mess. He smirks and practically pounces on the bed, not even bothering to shut the door as he peppers your face in a million kisses. You always look so pretty when you wanna get yourself off. What if he fucked his fist in tandem with you? That's the best idea ever.

“Shit, don’t stop just for me, baby. Let’s cum at the same time, yeah? You wanna fuck yourself with that cute bullet I got you while I fuck my fist to the sight of your pretty tits? C’mon, don’t say no! It’ll be fun, I promise! Then I’ll fuck you nice and good afterward, okay? Thank you, pretty baby.”

Thinking a lot lately about Mishio and how badly I want him pining over someone. It's so funny to me for the scary doctor to see a guy he likes walk by and just start stuttering and dropping things and stuff. Especially considering his type is generally stronger men. This kind of frail evil doctor and he's swooning over some big dude walking by...

Mishio doesn't know how to deal with feelings like that so if he does find himself wanting someone, it is like dealing with a teenager with a bad crush. He's never really dated anyone for real too, or had a crush before so he would have no idea how to act (not that I think he'd initiate anything anyways).

This is all kind of hypothetical because he's p i c k y with the type of person he'd fall for first but I love thinking about it.

[marzipanandminutiae]

here's a secret about actual Victorian gowns:

the interiors are usually messy as hell

raw edges on seams? finished with the absolute mimimum of work necessary to keep them from fraying into nonexistence. it's not going to touch the person's actual body, given the layers of corset-cover + corset + chemise/combinations in between, so it doesn't matter how it feels on bare skin. pinked and left raw? I've seen that, sure. whipstitched down to the bodice's structural flat-lining fabric? yep! I've seen VERY few bodices nicely lined so the innards don't show; that seems more common on capes, cloaks, and coats. you know, where the lining might end up being visible. because "will it be visible?" is the defining factor here

got a skirt you know will only be worn with an opaque overskirt? why bother making the whole thing out of that expensive silk? go ahead and make the covered part out of unbleached muslin- nobody will see it! (this was not universal, to be clear, but I have seen extant examples of the practice)

one of my museums has a Worth gown. couture! Parisian! guess how :) huge and gappy and messy :) the stitches holding the trim on look from the underside :)

undergarments and nightwear tend to have finished seams because they'll go next to the skin. they also tend to have visibly top-stitched machine hems, because the Hand-Sewn Hems rule only applied to garments that anyone outside the wearer's innermost circle would see. lingerie? machine-sew that hem! the poor underpaid piece-worker has a hundred more of these to make before her shift is over!

Victorians were the epitome of Work Smarter, Not Harder in their clothing, so don't feel like your recreations have to be perfectly finished unless it brings you joy to do it that way

As far as my creative process goes… in my mind, there are mirrors that capture light and send it to one another… whatever shape the shared light reveals is the thing I want to create. Simple as.
