As a queer afab non-binary person who fake-dated their bisexual friend in highschool in order to protect my identity and his relationship with his boyfriend, I shoud watch Wedding Impossible. Only for the fake-dating realness.
#Listen WHAT A TIME#I had a huge crush on a girl along with me presenting VERY masculine at that time and he had this relationship#This was out brilliant idea#It did work out great#Fake dated a few months#Although his mom believed we were still dating years after#The peak of that whole act was when we were PDAing in the hallway and a guy literally stopped in front of us and asked us#“ARE YOU TWO DATING???”#Never figured out what was all that about#But it does seem funny that everyone assumed i was a lesbian/ a closeted trans guy in hs probably#And you just see the guy everyone thought was gay dating me#It must have been suspicious if not for the fact that we were very comfortable with pda#I miss him i should text him to get coffe#Oh and also i should watch Wedding Impossible bc i have a crush on Jeon Jong Seo

im a slut for post magic reveal arthur (& knights) thinking merlin has like. a smidge of magic. like he can get stains out of clothes or warm food and baths but OBVIOUSLY merlin can’t fight. that’s ridiculous. merlin doesn’t correct this notion for whatever reason - perhaps it’s best that people think that so when they’re all in danger, he isn’t registered as a threat so he can protect his silly lil guys. ofc his silly lil guys realize that they were wrong bc the bad guys get a lil too close to hurting arthur and merlin is like “nope! fights over!!” and annihilates them
#also a huge fan of arthur taunting and goading merlin into sparring with him#and merlin is all ‘omg nows my chance to finally put him in his place!! hes so arrogant and stupid and pretty and i am going to destroy him’#arthur barely gets two steps in before merlin has him pinned with a shit eating grin and arthur staring at him wide eyed and flushed#‘i hope this doesnt awaken anything in me’ yeah alright you bottom bitch#arthur cant stop thinking about it for days#the helplessness of being stuck firm with just a look. the brilliant gold in merlins eyes. the arrogant smirk he shot arthur.#ooooooh yeah hes DONE#bro cant keep his hand out of his pants#he keeps thinking about it#merlin is none the wiser and thinks arthurs silence and looks are bc he finally brought arthur down a few pegs#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur#fanfiction#fanfic#fic ideas#prompts#hc#head canon#headcanon

D'Arce S Ending: "As soon as I can revive him from the dead, the wedding is BACK ON!"
#fear and hunger#d'arce cataliss#le'garde#fear and hunger spoilers#blood#self harm#Quote from Piosplayhouse#And he would go on to slay. Many millions of people infact.#D'arce Cataliss more like D'arce Catalyst For The Near Destruction Of Humanity.#D'arce has such a noble and pure heart but it is presented as her greatest flaw and I think that's brilliant.#Girl I don't think you can love the flaws out of this man. Yes is he very beautiful. No you can't fix him.#There are some people you can sacrifice everything for and they still will not care for you the way you care for them.#Learning dark magic to bring him back from the dead is NOT a good first date idea D'arce!#(I'm not very good at drawing blood and flesh. Yet. This series is going to push my limits)

youve heard of sex flowers get ready for the flower that makes you into a celestial shoujo herione complete with particle effects you cannot turn the fuck off and creates a wifebeam so powerful it can incapacitate and maim and keeps making you burst into tears and fall on your ass which makes the wifebeam More Powerful and you also cannot turn this off either. and is also still, sort of, a sex flower
from one of my favorite fanfictions, Celestial Afterglow by elanor_pam, a fic that defies description in the best possible way
#arts#shen qingqiu#svsss#listen im not saying that ive spent a cumulative half a year reading this fic and then trying to make an arts for it#and then getting frustrated and stopping because i couldn't figure out how to make sqq shimmery enough#but like. im not NOT saying that#this is the FOURTH time ive started something for this bitch it haunts my fucking dreams and yet the opalescent glittery sqq evades me#perhaps you o unlearned fool look at this and say hmm that's too many colour layers and glowy effects but oh how wrong you are#if it doesnt make you literally fall over yourself at how otherworldly and radiant he is then there is room for improvement yet#perhaps you look at this and you think Wow!!! this gives me literally NO ideas what this fic is about#well Let Me Tell You. i have no fucking idea how to summarize this fic#its not often the tags in a fic give me pause but i saw this and as i read the tags i was increasingly just like What#but i have no idea how to describe it. the tags arent NOT accurate but i was SO unprepared for what happened in like an extremely pos way#if i were tagging this i think i would give it the no archive warnings apply label if that matters to you#the author seemed they wanted to leaned towards over caution rather than risk missing anything re tags because This Is A Weird Fic#but oh my fucking god#i am gripping you by the shoulders i cannot stress enough how charming it is#brilliant characterization especially with airplane in the first scene#and also so much fucking funnier than i thought possible for the general setting summary tags and buildup#its just. ough. its good

I know the decision to have Julian's parents have him augmented was made on the fly but imo its pretty obvious from early on that Julian has Family Issues because he avoids talking about his family like the plague and I think they should've incorporated this into the Julian and Sisko dynamic right from early on because I think it would've made for some really compelling stories and moments and could've set up a REALLY interesting Julian and Jake dynamic which they kinda started to do but never fully went for
#star trek: ds9#julian bashir#benjamin sisko#jake sisko#s1 Julian being so young and eager to prove himself and latching onto Sisko as this mentor figure to look up to#seeing Sisko with Jake and low-key seeking that fatherly figure connection which he won't even let himself think about#Sisko seeing this young brilliant doctor who's got all the makings to be something great and he's just GOTTA help him along#I think he would also catch on pretty quick that Julian's got Parental Issues#he tries to ask one day all casual like 'tell me about yourself :)' and Julian talks about nothing but Starfleet and med school#any attempts to ask about his family are met with awkward brief answers and redirections#and then theres the way Julian's eyes light up the first time Sisko invites him to watch a baseball game#like he Knows. he's a dad he Knows somethings up#but he doesnt pry#I also think it makes their dynamic more tragic towards the end of the series#where we have Sisko asking Julian to compromise his morals again and again#Julian's trust and respect for him gradually deteriorating#and then at the end of course Sisko is gone and they have no idea when he'll be back#which I think Julian would have a lot of complicated feelings about#but of course theres also Jake#I imagine they'd get closer#very brotherly dynamic#you know that scene in TNG where Wesley goes to Riker for girl advice and Riker and Guinan start flirting?#absolutely happens but with Jake asking Julian for girl advice and Julian wooing a girl at Quark's and Jake absolutely loses the plot#makes the events of ...Nor the Battle to the Strong more intense as well I think#also I like to think there'd be an episode where the B plot is Jake gets mad at Sisko and impulsively decides to move out#ends up at Julian's because he did not think this through#Julian is now very much caught in the middle of this family drama and he Fucking Hates It#also him and Jake are NOT compatible roommates but he's trying so so hard to be nice#eventually they have a talk and Julian cryptically hints at his own home life and tells Jake he's lucky he has a dad who cares so much#them being closer would work into what Alone Together sets up for them

I'm fascinated by the ways in which the things a creator is good at making don't necessarily line up with the kind of art that they respect or even enjoy.
This has haunted me ever since I saw a Youtube video about the downfall of The Band Perry, a country band that I had liked until their music got weird and they kind of fell off the face of the earth. Well, it turns out that they tried to reinvent their image and their style of music several times before the band finally fell apart. When they started, they had this weird Southern Gothic homeschooler style that really worked for them and was reasonably popular, but then they tried to switch to a cooler type of pop music--a style they supposedly admired and enjoyed--and it just did not work at all. They failed because they chased what they wanted to make instead of sticking with the style that they were good at.
It's a tension that's present in all creative work. At one point does "going outside the box" go too far? Can one be happy making good work even if it's not the kind of stuff they like or admire? Are the techniques and styles that are most appealing to us appealing because they're things that we can't create ourselves? As in, our minds don't work that way, so seeing these things from other creators is exciting, but the fact that our minds don't work that way is exactly why we can't imitate those things. Where's the line between creative integrity--pushing yourself to make better things--and pride--wanting to make something more prestigious and impressive instead of humbly making the type of art you're best suited to make? Can one even clearly see what they're best at making, and appreciate the good that's there rather than chasing after styles and techniques that seem better? There are no solid answers, which is why I'm going to be endlessly thinking about this.
#adventures in writing#this came to mind again because i watched the jim henson documentary#and there was always a tension between the things he was good at making#and the things that he wanted to make#like they mention that a lot of his best performances were on sesame street#his particular brand of innocence did fit well there#but he didn't want to be stuck as a chlidren's creator and chased all these weird adult ideas#most of which were amazing and creative and brilliant#but also there's a loss of peace and family that comes with that eternal striving#and you wonder what he could have done if he'd put aside that pride and striving for prestige#(thinking about these things a lot)#(because i'm in a mood not to read or watch stories)#(but to read or watch *about* stories)#(watch analyses of franchises i've never seen)#(find out about the creative process)#(which is an excellent mood for creating imaginary book recs)#(which is just furthering these meta thoughts)#(that i have to just spew because they're not going into meaningful order)

KakaIru + Those Four Guys From Naruto
I'll assume you've seen the original versions with the canon couples. (I'd link it but have no idea what the OG really is). Now it's the gae version.
#kakairu#koteizu#Genrai#Naruto#Those two guys from Naruto#those two guys from naruto but it's not those two guys#genma shiranui#namiashi raidou#hagane kotetsu#izumo kamizuki#the funniest bit of this is that izumo's screencap isn't edited. Demon Possessed Izumo canon#Also funny that literally 2 seconds after that he's already putting his anger behind because he had a DUO battle tactic idea#Izumo: *is ready to falcon punch Kotetsu into another dimension after embarrassing him in front of 2 ANBU jonin*#Also Izumo: *includes his buddy his friend his sun and stars into his tactic ideas regardless because Friendship Means Friend*#Izumo is the embodiment of 'Just because I'm mad at you doesn't mean I stopped caring'#Also Izumo is currently on duty in that scene + dealing with Ko's lazy ass + just embarrassed himself in front of 2 respected jonin ->#and STILL had an idea for a killer top tier tactic right there. Brilliant baby. Smart boi. Intelligent cutie. Creative little muffin. I lov#Also this is in no way a diss to iruka. Iruka bby. Iruka my boy. Iruka my heart & soul since naruto 1st aired. i love u bby.#Kotetsu in canon: Wants to fight Izumo. Kotetsu as soon as Izumo wants to fight: NOPE *runs*#also gonna post the not gay version for the non shipper side of fandom. Not like I have more than 4 followers but in case it makes it out#It's just. I've seen The 4 Guys being shipped in PLENTY KakaIru fics. So I assumed someone might enjoy this lmao#also because i ship these 3. Everything gay I ship. I love me some non toxic masculine intimate friendship but I also love my gay sorry

I found out there was an anteater LPS so obviously the only logical thing to do was go and buy one immediately and make it into Flint. My phone hates me so pictures are bad but look!!!!! That's a little guy!!!!!
#toontown corporate clash#ttcc#firestarter#lps custom#I thought this would be easy#it would have been easy if not for my “brilliant” idea to remove the head to make it easier to paint#i could not for the life of me get that thing back on#tried boiling water to soften the plastic which a) didn't work and b) MESSED UP ALL OF MY PAINT#so I had to do basically the ENTIRE head over again#poor guy had to go through emergency surgery like three times#eventually got the head back on tho! even if I had to cut it open in like three different places to do it...#the worst of its under his hat dont worry about it#planning on making Graham too at some point#just trying to figure out what animal i should make him#theres no cheetah but there is a jaguar and that's both pretty cheetah adjacent and easily purchasable by me#otherwise a bunny maybe? I think I like cheetah better but we'll have to see

Last night I had a dream that I started a podcast with @littlebirdsbookshelf called the Marcus PikeCast where we broke down every second of his screentime in excruciating detail.
#honestly this seems like a brilliant idea ngl#after we run out of footage to analyze we could review fics and tropes

Girls5Eva is the best thing that ever happened to me, actually
#stephen colbert delivering that line like it's the most brilliant innovative idea anyone has ever had is kind of important to the joke#but it's still funny even just as text#I also appreciate simultaneous representation for women who are queer in a way that isn't tailored to male fantasy#and also women who are queer in a way that's deeply appealing to male fantasy#or maybe being a male fantasy is part of their own fantasy it's all very complex and it's not our place to judge#and I do think tina fey has historically been very good at pointing out the rather condescending attitudes some women have#towards women who perform for the patriarchy#like they don't know any better or they're being disingenuous or they're oppressed#and summer is such an amazing character who really humanizes the need to perform beside the need to own yourself#and how they are and are not incompatible especially for a literal performer/singer like her#girls5eva#paula pell#busy philipps#stephen colbert#alf musik#gloria mcmanus#summer dutkowsky

Lee Majdoub and the Stobotnik fandom share the same braincell, change My mind.
Here's on Twitter for his QnA, be kind to not ask Only About Stobotnik or Agent Stone if he still takes questions.
#agent stone#sonic agent stone#lee majdoub#sonic movies#twitter#Brilliant minds think alike#I was flabbergasted or whatever the term is- He literally pulled that idea out of the fanfics fr#how

The week is complete! Even though I was very late with 6.
#fanart#john watson#sherlock holmes#sherlock & co#sh & co#fawx and stallion#day 6 was 1800s so I had to recreate the Sidney paget illustration of Holmes and Watson in the carriage but it’s podlock#fun fact I was basing the outfits on the Granada’s version#day 7 was au and I didn’t really think of much until I had the brilliant idea of incorporating fawx and stallion#takes place in the first episode#when they trespass into 221B they somehow are teleported into podlock universe#they don’t realize that their entire setting has changed until John Sherlock and Mariana turn the lights on to see#fawx and stallions!#a battle of wits and silliness#and they all find out how to get f&s back to their universe the end#if I were talented enough I would write fic about this#sherlock and co

“It is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially” (Tartt, 31).
I am absolutely fascinated by the fame and reverence this quote from the Secret History has achieved. It terrifies me. Let me explain.
Who’s line is this? Oh, yes. Professor Julian Morrow. Julian, in his lecture on how death begets beauty, on how Dionysian madness lends immortality. Julian, who isolates the greek class, buries them in the glories of the past and in their privilege, and submerges them beneath illusions until his students can’t tell right from wrong and real from imagined.
These words are satire. This is NOT a lesson any teacher should impart, and should NOT be beloved and relatable. In one sentence, Donna Tartt summarizes the entire cautionary tale of the novel: the selective, warped, and obsessive view on life the greek class held, born from entitlement and cultivated by Julian, led the students to tear themselves to pieces.
What’s more, the way people quote it all the time makes this line all the more haunting. Widespread parroting of Julian’s teachings only reinforces Donna’s themes: human minds are easily manipulatable, it can be hard to think critically about what you are taught and what you read, and that the easy, self-assured conviction belonging to the reader that, “I, personally, would have behaved differently than Henry, Richard, Francis, Camilla, Charles, and Bunny” is nothing but another illusion.
#“rip to the greek class but I’m different” no you’re not#it’s so funny to me how famous this specific quote is bc people love it for one of three reasons (all equally comical):#A. they have not read the novel and thought the words were pretty (so true but honestly still concerning)#B. they read the novel but took julian’s words at face value and think him brilliant#(this category of people would end up helping henry push bunny into a ravine 100%)#or C. they read the novel and understand well the satirical nature of this quote.#despite this knowledge the act of deeply obsessing over narrow ideas is too tempting to not do it anyways (calling myself out)#congrats! by reading this you now belong to category C#henry winter#richard papen#francis abernathy#charles macaulay#camilla macaulay#bunny corcoran#julian morrow#the secret history#tsh#donna tartt
