#HOW DID I MISS IT? I HAVE NO IDEA

[callmearcturus]

hey so

i have no idea how this happened bc i REMEMBER doing a full album listen when it cam out

but I just heard "Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea" for the first time

i have NO IDEA how???? like when i did my album listen did i accidentally skip the OPENING SONG?

THIS FUCKING ALBUM STARTS WITH THAT FUCKING DRUM?

jesus fucking christ what a fucking song

patrick your VOICE? like there's a lot of times i'm like "aaaah patrick, voice of an angel" but

i think.............. i love his voice here more than any other song? sssssomething about how he yo-yos up and down on the volume and the speed up/slow down cadence he's doing and the FULLNESS of his voice

ffffffuck me? holy shit.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

ok i swear i'm not going to talk about my breakup forever but the thing that just keeps bothering me:

i know that not getting what you need in a relationship is a COMPLETELY valid reason to end it but also. i feel like having a very vulnerable moment where i opened up about my struggles with intimacy and being relieved that i didn't have to keep doing things i wasn't comfortable with, then being dumped a YEAR later because of my lack of intimacy. is something i should be allowed to be very hurt by???

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.

are u doing alien!edith for you cu stuff or is she just a regular person…

I haven't thought about it too hard but i do have some alien edith shitposts from a while ago so I Guess Yeah haha

i like the idea that captain is not at all perturbed by it because his comic backstory also has him come from another planet so he's just like "Aha! Cool!"

also i think she'd Get Captain about the whole "how do i be a person" thing . i mean like, maybe in a slightly different way but she'd Get It

hello hi I have no idea how I started drawing again

I was losing it at this obscure rockman math game which in turn inspired me to draw hairstyle head-cannons

Have I told you guys how much I hate this show.

I just realized why we see Jesse's harpoon pack fall when the exit closes. It isn't just a quick way of explaining that stuff from the train can't leave the train. It isn't just to show us "Hey! The harpoon pack didn't really go with him, even though you see him wearing it while inside the exit!"

If that was their point, they could have just made the harpoon pack fall off sooner. They could have had Jesse take it off and throw it at the Apex to make a statement.

And if it was about Lake's escape- or the next episode being off the train or how they were cuffed to one of the flecs- it would be possible to reframe it. They could have had it be something to do with the train car or Alan Dracula. There are a million different ways to get a similar result. But that wasn't what they wanted to do.

No, no, the framing is so important in this scene. The door closes. We watch it drop to the floor.

And I remember seeing this and thinking- why? It isn't necessary. We already understand that "train stuff" doesn't go off the train. It's a two second clip of it falling. It's not needed. Why.

Because the next clip is Lake.

It's a comparison.

Do you see this harpoon pack? This silly, little thing? To the train, Lake is no different. They are just a thing.

An object.

It was just another way to show us how the system and the train viewed Lake. I hate it. I hate it here.

Here's a post on how Leo was able to fully heal for the final movie scene.

Oh YEAH. It is NOT scientifically inaccurate for him to be walking around so shortly after HELL.

("so shortly" standing for 7 to 12 months,, New York had the time to rebuild and they apparently spent this whole time pizzaless until the "grabbing a slice" scene with Casey Jr)

First of all, the guy has at least one concussion. A bAd one. That's two to four weeks for sure.

Pretty fvcked-up arm (I chose his right one, like Future Leo). That's three months in a cast.

Now, you know how turtles' shells are literally their ribcage? I figured breaking their plastron/shell would be similar to breaking ribs. And just as painful. But that's just a detail.

I'm not kidding, you ALL saw the Kraang punching his chest repeatedly full force. There's no way his plastron didn't give out, it caved in a bit.

So I'd say it did some inevitable damage to his lungs and heart. I picked temporary arrhythmia (it happens when there's an issue with the heart's tissue), that's like, really fast heartbeat at random times of the day for no reason. Tachycardia attacks feel like panic attacks, except it comes with chest pains and you can FEEL your heart going haywire.

And his shell didn't survive BREAKING CEMENT AND ROCKS either. It's a little less severe than his plastron, he'd definitely lose one or two scutes (they grow back... kinda. Just pretend he was about to shed anyways).

Turtle plastron and shell fractures might actually take three years to heal, BUT, he's a mutant, and human broken ribs would take about three months.

Let's just round it up to six months.

That would be at least one month before the ending scene.

Done!

no of fence to jon snow fans who for some reason care about his exact age, but these discussions just annoy me no end. not only bc there's no way any weirwood flashbacks bran has to rhaegar/lyanna will come with time/datestamps, but also bc there's always comments like this:

SEVERAL turns of the moon (ie, months)?! have these people never seen a human baby before or just have no concept of their ages? even if we take into account travel time from the toj to wf, meaning jon was not a newborn too fresh out the oven when catelyn and robb arrived, there's still a difference between a newborn and a 3mo and an even bigger difference between those infants and an older baby 5-7mo. there's very good reasons these lines were cut. whatever birthdates can be worked out internally for jon and robb from when they're first mentioned as 15 and 16 don't matter in the end, bc grrm doesn't care about a consistent timeline and the actual text of catelyn's pov and ned's convo with robert about cheating on her should outweigh any guesstimates about jon's official nameday wrt robb's. catelyn may not have cared for jon, but she would sure as hell have noticed his nameday if it came before robb's and made him ned's firstborn. if jon's birthday canonically came before robb's then either ned's cover story would not involve adultery (not impossible for him to sire a bastard before his wedding), or he'd just give jon a new nameday along with his new name to fit the adultery lie. it makes no sense for him to lie about one and not the other, undermining the big lie with a little public clue of his story not adding up. whatever else she was as a stepmother, cat wasn't stupid and a bastard who was actually the eldest son being raised alongside her trueborn heir could be an even bigger insult than whether he was born of adultery or not.

BUT, the unknowability of jon's true birthday is not the only reason this annoys me, it's bc this is all based on the assumption that jon must be older since rhaegar/lyanna ran off together before ned married cat, as if both boys must have been conceived asap as robb canonically was when his parents consummated their marriage. and that's not how human reproduction works! even if you don't understand how fast babies grow in the first year, you should know that people who get pregnant do so through ovulation cycles and a lucky sperm finding an egg and all that, not just immediately getting knocked up as soon as one has p-in-v sex for the first time. not unless you only know mean girls sex ed where if you have sex you will get pregnant and die. (even tho lyanna did die, there's plenty of canon examples where pregnancy did not lead straight to death. also examples of people who did not get pregnant right away and even some who are/were sexually active and childless without always having moon tea on hand.) we can't know how long lyanna was having sex before that sperm+egg match happened or even how long she was with rhaegar before losing her technical virginity. if they were married, doesn't it make sense to think they didn't consummate their relationship until the wedding night either? that's the only leverage there is to ensure a status as wife rather than just mistress.

and while i just said grrm doesn't care about exact timelines and a lot is still foggy surrounding the rebellion and esp rhaegar, there is one timemarker wrt robert's rebellion he voluntarily threw in, time and time again: that stannis was besieged at storm's end for almost a whole year. that siege, which mind you, did not match the duration of the entire war. it only started after robert won his battles at gulltown and summerhall, returned to storm's end, and then went out and lost the battle of ashford, leaving his homeland open to the reachermen. the same siege which only ended when ned made a detour there after the sack of king's landing, before going to the toj. even if lyanna may not have given birth that exact day ned found her, she could only be waiting in that bloody bed for weeks at the most, not months. so if rhaegar knocked her up the very same night he carried her off and jon was still a newborn when ned found her after the siege of storm's end had ended, wouldn't that mean lyanna was pregnant for well over a year? that's not how human pregnancy works either! so, maybe that's proof that jon and robb, whichever order they were actually born in, were actually very close in age as babies, much closer than if they were both conceived asap.

and really, jon's actual birthdate does not matter imho, when he was raised not just as the bastard to robb's trueborn heir, but with robb also known by catelyn and the world as ned's firstborn (which he was, in any case, as jon was ned's nephew by birth). what difference could a birthdate before robb's make (even were there some means of discovery) after ned, cat, and robb are all dead? if one is looking only at his birth parents then he's only a firstborn child on lyanna's side, but definitely a second son on rhaegar's side. maybe he was always meant to be a second son with a not much older half-brother! even if the aegon fka young griff is not in fact rhaegar's son, he'll still be known as aegon vi targaryen, meaning jon will never be known as any father's elder son. if i may reference mean girls again, it's not going to happen.
