Why am I, after being on Tumblr for more than 12 years, now discovering that there's an entire Dogtanian and The Three Muskehounds fanbase on here??? That's still active to this day????
bdubs is so cool hes the reason i hate describing things as content wdym this is content its so much more, it’s craftsmanship, it’s meticulous detail and love and care and deliberate thought and aaaa his videos are crafted so well, i love how he takes the time to explain his process and then uses a building montage not sped up to not only include us in the process but really emphasize that this is thoughtful art not just a build that appears out of nowhere. ugh if stop and smell the roses were a guy it would be bdubs. his videos are just so engagingggg and the humor in them also rules and i could listen to bdubs talk for hours and hours because something about his sentence structures and vocal inflections just draw attention and are so fun. what a guy. also does anyone else watch his old vlogs and experience a deep sense of yearning.
More titles of Grishaverse essays I'm yet to write
Last time I did this I called it "essays I'll probably never write" and then ended up writing all of them lol, so stay tuned and let me know if there's any in particular you want to hear :)
The manipulation of corrupt governments and the abuse of Grisha in both Fjerda and Ravka as shown through the presentation of Nina Zenik and Matthias Helvar (this post has been in my drafts for a while and I kind of covered this in a long rant about Nina recently but I’d love to do it properly)
The importance of Fruszi in season 2 of Shadow and Bone; her presentation, her parallels with Zoya, her parallels with Inej (and the subsequent parallels created between the Darkling and Tante Heleen), her parallels with Genya, and the relevance of her character to the arc of the show. (I have a lot of thoughts about Fruszi and this one might end up being included in the minor character analysis series (if I ever get myself together and start it) even though that’s really going to be focusing on the six of crows books)
The importance of the Komedie Brute in Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom as devices of both plot and character, particularly with the interpretation of Mr Crimson as an omen of death. (I know I technically already wrote this one, but I did it a long time ago as two separate posts and I’ve had a lot more thoughts about it since so I really want to combine them and rewrite it all as one)
My personal take on what the global landscape of the Grishaverse would look like if parem had become a global resource (I have thoughts - and a lot of them are about how much I hate the Kerch government)
The importance of denying certain important characters a name (eg Inej’s parents, and Matthias’ parents and sister) and why this is both heartbreaking and literary genius (firstly, you may have noticed I’ve given up on making my titles sound academic, and secondly I have started writing this one so yeah it may come soon if anyone would be interested)
maybe i'm just slow but in case anyone else was wondering why Cirrus got so upset abt his dad and stepmom doing it in his room....it happened when Cirrus was visiting his mother's grave...on her death anniversay....
his dad was screwing his 5th wife in his son's bed instead of mourning the death of the mother of his only child along with his son.
infinity train season 2 will never not make me go crazy. when the fleck is trying to get into lake's head and is like do you ever wonder why the chrome car was there? did the train make the car so you could get out? maybe the car was for you. to use you to help tulip learn. just another creation of the train to help passengers and oh, choices. and choices lead to lessons. and what were you learning exactly? how to become what the boy needed you to be? and lake doesn't take any of it and is like i know who i am and jesse didn't want to leave me. we're friends and that's real.
and when lake is denied a number and is screaming at the robots i'm here! look at me! i am a person! i deserve a number!!!! these are just moments in television that make me feel like an insane little hamster running around in a ball
and for the life of me I still don't get how HOW it didn’t even get nominated I am not saying it should have won (yes it should have duh) but at least a nomination-
