The Rings of Power 2x08: Shadow and Flame
"My place is here. You know it is." "And where is mine? If not with you?"
#🥺😭 such an ominous parting#AND YET... ELENDIL YOU KNOW WHERE ALL HER STUFF IS.. You've lost your rank and were STILL apparently being freely let into her room...#There's a TvLine article from yesterday about the Narsil scene that says#“Having already confessed their love for each other Elendil can’t imagine leaving without her.”#LIKE HELLO? WAS THAT THE SCENE IN THE PRISON BEING CONFIRMED AS CONFESSION?#either way this also seemed to have heavy overtones of such especially these two lines which are LOADED#mirendil#Elendil#Miriel#tar miriel#trop#rop#trop spoilers#the rings of power#miriel x elendil#elendil x miriel#tropgifs#trop gifs#Queen Miriel#rings of power#tropedit#lotr trop#lloyd owen#cynthia addai robinson#trop 2x08#I like the choice of having Miriel putting on her stoic Regal Demeanour again here she seems to crack a bit when looking at Narsil

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

Me: *tries to see what the Queen fans on TikTok have to say*
*Jim hate*
*”facts” that may or not be actually true*
*”Freddie Mercury was bisexual-“*
*Using Barbara Valentin as evidence*
*thinking things that happened in the movie actually happened irl*
*general misinformation about everyone and everything*
Me: aaaaand back to Tumblr I go
(open tags at your own risk, there’s a whole essay in there)
#Why are Tumblr Queen fans the only sane ones like what happened#Coincidentally this is also how reading a lot of articles about them and their history tend to go#When did we stop looking at the primary sources like how did some of these disconnects grow so large#Freddie was just gay. YES he was out. YES he stated it publicly (he was still coy sometimes I will give you that)#No he didn’t know he had AIDS before Live Aid. Yes Jim was his major long term partner.#No the little people with trays of coke on their heads story isn’t true. No Freddie most likely didn’t take Princess Diana to a gay bar#No Roger didn’t accidentally give a fan a sex tape (there is a nugget of evidence that a tape was leaked but if so it didn’t happen like th#He locked himself in a TAPE CLOSET not a cupboard (this one doesn’t annoy me as much as the rest)#No Freddie was not ✨involved✨ with Barbara Valentin#No Love of My Life is not about Mary in the way people think it is#RESEARCH PLEASE I AM BEGGING#IT’S NOT EVEN THAT HARD TO FIND SOME OF THAT STUFF#ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A JOURNALIST LIKE LOOK AT THE PRIMARY SOURCES INSTEAD OF CONFIRMATION BIASING BY LOOKING AT ARTICLES#FROM OTHER JOURNALISTS WHO ALSO DID WHAT YOU’RE DOING#REEEAAADDDD#It’s not even annoying because it’s about a topic I like it’s just literally the unimaginable gap between truth and reality#that is SO EASY TO BRIDGE AND YET. LIKE HOW IS IT THIS BIG OF A PROBLEM WHAT HAPPENED#I have written a novel in these tags so I’ll stop yapping now but GOD it grinds my gears#queen#queen band#roger taylor#roger meddows taylor#brian may#sir brian may#freddie mercury#john deacon#Tiktok#queen fans

guy very into musical theatre who mistakingly thinks they're connecting with me over a shared interest: yeah, weber is foundational and all, but i've always felt more of a connection with what starkid's got going on, y'know?
me, who's only ever listened to tracks from the musical episode of Psych: uhhhhhhhhh... hello my name is shawn spencer? this is my partner, lil' wayne? the evidence is underwhelming? but my intuition is insane?
#to be clear i am in fact a muscian and have a greater-than-basic understanding of the genre and the artform#in fact half the reason i'm so obsessed with the psych musical is bc of all the ways it utilizes the actual genre tropes of musicals#to make itself an effective and genuine article of the medium#but outside of the theory uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry i know nothing i am but a wee babe#honestly the orchestration of the tracks is what i keep finding myself impressed by#it's so varied and diverse both in harmonic structure/progression and actual instrumentation#one thing i especially love is how the piece where shawn spells out the crime combines a ton of motifs from earlier tracks#into one unified piece of music#which directly mirrors how these breakdowns narratively combine all the facts the audience has been shown throughout the episode#psych#psych the musical#running my mouth

Point Break (1991) dir. Kathryn Bigelow
If desire is the differential between need and demand, desire always exists outside of the corporeal wants and wishes that have a pressing agenda all their own--desire becomes its own project, indeed yanking at the sometimes wayward, resistant body to which it's tethered in the effort to fulfill its unfulfillable, limitless agenda... Desire floats and fluctuates above, below, beyond us, always goading us, never revealing, satisfying, or fulfilling us.
-David Greven, Contemporary Hollywood Masculinity and the Double-Protagonist Film (2009)
#im being soooo incredibly normal about my point break rewatch. real luke from lovesick moment for me <3#point break#kathryn bigelow#this opening title sequence is like...#hello. water is a metaphor for sex. guns are a metaphor for sex. surfing is especially a metaphor for sex. enjoy a movie :)#did not gif any of the keanu doing the fbi course scenes because i'll be honest. i was fucking the coloring up. idk what to do with them#so it is surfing only in this set! but know that smoking guns = sex is very much a part of this movie!#this quote is not strictly speaking about point break but it was one of the examples given in the article so i used it anyway <3#1990s#filmedit#idk what tags people use nowadays... wahtever

sorry to be a bit of a hater but i do wish youtubers weren't so scared of making their videos just like, "reviews", whys everything gotta be a "video essay" all the time. every day my recommendations are filled with 40 minute videos titled "_____: An Underrated Masterpiece" where the first like five minutes are reading the wikipedia definition of "masterpiece" in a somber voice with dramatic themed text on screen. please just tell me how good or bad you think something is and use the rest of the runtime to explain why. you dont need to put on all these airs
#i know the ahem. channel. of some awe....... that whole situation kind of scared people off from using the word review#but like we live in the future now. you can make a review. i believe in you#AND LIKE i like a good video essay!! but im picky. because i read academic shit for fun#when i see a capital E essay im expecting theses. im expecting sub headers. im expecting multiple examples AND footnotes with asides#(and i know this is a controversial topic but i do expect them to be long. because if you read aloud a 4 page journal article its gonna)#(take a bit of time LOL maybe i just read too much academia shit. but i dunno man. theres not a lot you can say about like a big huge)#(topic with multiple angles if you only have like 10 minutes. maybe i just talk too slow. i need to breath <3 )#theres other formats too. surveys. retrospectives. informative essays. persuasive essays. etc#and like i also read lots of reviews not just of like movies and books but of like gallery exhibitions and shit!! they can be extremely#interesting a lot of work and some really beautiful writing!! nothing wrong with a review!!! theyre important#but i do get annoyed with like. the odd air of pretention i see in a lot of video essays. especially cause its usually not backed up by#the content. i dont care for those airs in academia either. nor do i like it in documentaries#just talk naturally. you'll find your voice. there might be pretention in it in the end but it'll be yours#if im making sense. i hear a lot of people talking in a pretention that is not their own. something they put on because thats what they#think they should do. you need to find your own pretention. be pretentious in a way that feels natural to youuuuuu#hell im being pretentious. about this LOL but like its my own. it is a pretentiousness ive built over the past half decade#play around. write a blog. i dunno. find your voice dear youtubers. find your voice

If y’all wanna add either you’re general region, generations, and why you use the phrase in a reblog that would be cool to :)
#pole#restaurant etiquette#personally I say could I get… please/thank you#I say that because it sounds more polite and understanding to me#and I’m Gen z from the west coast in the us#but I’ve been told by others that this phrase is childish and that I will have.. is the proper way to speak#these people are older gen x and typically where raised elsewhere in the us so I’m curious to know#especially cuz I can’t seem to find any studies or articles about the subject

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:
thing that I already do
thing I have tried 10 times
thing I already do
thing that I don't have the money to do
thing I already do
thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail
thing that is impossible given my situation
thing that doesn't apply to me
thing that I already do
thing I have already tried
hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently
thing I have already done
#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things#out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever#all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever#or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc.#especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple#and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already#done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and#all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you.#who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3#my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster#talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo#I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache#or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop#e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all#sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef#t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of#way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I#think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i#gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!'#like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant#mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain#or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right#now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like#most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once#that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY#Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

did NOT know they were doing this to gordon over there in hellertown but im not surprised at all to learn that they do
#i could go into the co-opting of gordon and sam's nonrelationship in canon involved here wrt to sam omission#AND flipping both his and cas' roles and how that relates to the canon existence of sam and cas as Other (albiet in entirely different ways)#especially in context of the article being about anti-blackness in fandom + the similarities between how sam's monstrosity is typically#applied by fandom and its mirror equivalent within the Angry Black Woman stereotype but that's wayyy from the point#i need to revisit my post about gordon and masculinity#&

insanely special to not only see but also hear directly from fob how much this tour meant to them and how special it was like. on night one it was obvious it was going to be something to cherish, but what tourdust turned into is nothing short of magic and it is insane and means the world to me that it wasn’t just magically healing and transformative for Us as fans, but for the band too. an incredibly rare instance where it isn’t parasocial to say there was bonding and love shared between us— because there actually was impact made, that they’re happy to be vulnerable about. and knowing that is everything
#theres a lot abt that article to feel crazy abt but the way they talk abt the tour#and smfs with such tenderness and love and how it was healing and how happy they are it just. god. it’s everything!!!!!#the vulnerability especially is so special coming from an era where they Werent vulnerable it’s just sooooo. 🥹🥹🥹🥹#txt

#really loved this article#basically I’m sharing screenshots from almost the whole thing#it makes me so happy to hear how much they love doing the pod#it’s my favorite project of theirs#because it’s easy and out of drag and really showcases the real them#and that the magic is in their conversation & chemistry#without the drag and editing they’re still just two funny people we all love listening to them talk#so for Trixie to say it’s her favorite too and that it’s the project she’d save the most?#even saying it’s their ‘real’ show out of everything#oh we love to see it#also maybe it’ll stop people from speculating which project is going away/getting consolidated#let’s just say out of everything… it’s most certainly not going to be the pod#and thank god for that!#especially after seeing the live pod shows#you can tell they’re having so much fun#trixie mattel#tb&tb#interview!

Girl if Louis had to sit through the same opera ran by vampires like Santiago, dozens of times, he'd bring a book, too. Also, Claudia was in the play. Was Louis ONLY interested in what Lestat likes and not Armand OR Claudia or his own interests?
also didn't louis judge lestat heavily for pretending to read books to pass as cultured? didnt he ignore him at HOME as he read his books?

#4k notes#Louis was in love with Lestat and he still loves that man but that's just not proof of it#! like that other post comparing the cute coffin scene with the bed scene in dubai#apples and oranges to me#okay guys be real with me#did I hallucinate lou..stat's bad months together?#did it happen only in my head#be real with me#them not being intimate#louis always thinking of claudia and looking for articles about her whereabouts#lestat being so done with it and going to antoinette#louis hoarding habits and reading his books as lestat tried to talk to him and all that#did it happen only in the version I watched?#and this isnt even to say Louis showed more interest to Armand and his likes#but completely IN the relationship? cause he went to opera with lestat?#(also didnt he judge lestat for torturing that guy for being bad at opera)#sofia rants#One thing I love about Louis is that he will absolutely judge his partners for what they do#no matter how much he loves them.#and saying Louis never went to his depression periods or stood up to his beliefs or had the mind to judge Lestat#because he was in love with Lestat#makes Louis like those one dimensional protogonists from the hallmark romances#in which their whole life depend on one man#Louis is Louis without Lestat#(and without Armand) and he doesnt need ''saving''#especially from the white saviour (lestat as we see people being cute about or daniel tbh)#ANYWAY#i should be sleeping

it always pisses me off a bit when i see people trying to use their platform to Educate The Public and the "educational resources" they provide are twitter threads, tiktoks, and carrds. like yes absolutely a social media post from a primary source is invaluably helpful when it comes to getting first-person perspectives on current events, but you just cannot learn extensive history from tiktok. idk. maybe you can. maybe i'm being too quick to write off tiktok as a whole. it's just rare that a tiktok is going to be well-researched and provide sources for the viewers to vet or use for further research on their own, so it's natural to be doubtful.
people easily believe anything on social media if it's well-said and seems sincere, which is just dangerously stupid. vet your sources. think critically. don't just blindly believe a tiktok because the person filming it is using smart people words

#don't even believe me when i essay andy#i'm just some guy what the hell do i know i don't have a degree in anything related to the stuff i essay andy about#i enjoy doing research on my own which is why when i essay andy i provide sources so You can look into it Yourself#people can try to provide educational materials to the public but at the end of the day it's up to you to vet it#look up “the long history of disinformation during war” it's an interesting wapo article#even or maybe especially during times like this when you're witnessing apartheid you Must be careful with what you share#misinfo/disinfo is so common. be careful. people benefit from and die due to the misinfo/disinfo going viral on socials
