I really do believe that God put me on this earth to find hiding spots in airports
#Perfect view of my gate#Perfect view of the flight monitor#Invisible to foot traffic#It is so quiet here#So serene#Light shines in through the windows#Not a soul in sight#I feel like I have achieved self actualization in gate F35#I am but a leaf in the stream#Flowing between great rivers#I have no needs or desires#All I as it should be#The airport provides#The airport. Provides

I had a thought today about all that vampires lose in the twilight lore. Sure sure they’re fast and strong and invulnerable BUT they lose the chance to earn things because of that. The Cullens are rich but like…that just happens when you invest for three centuries. They can lift incredible amounts of weight…but just by nature and not because they’ve built up to it. They build projects and make paintings and learn…but they will always lack the satisfaction that comes from managing those accomplishments amidst the regular demands of life. Edward was seventeen…he never got the chance to earn anything by the sweat of his brow or the burning of the midnight oil.
Beyond just the bloodlust, they miss out on the regular daily challenges that make our time and pleasure meaningful. Something that is easily overlooked by teenagers reading a love story but honestly something heartbreaking to contemplate.
#twilight#the twilight saga#edward cullen#tts#tts discourse#to be clear I don’t think this robs them of all opportunity for meaningful work#but simply that our flow of time is dictated in some large degree#by the difficulty of the tasks we pursue and the effort made#also our brains are not wired to live without physical effort it makes you crazy#and it just seems like a form of torture to me now (as an adult)#to run great distances without ever getting tired#to read and study with perfect recall and no effort required to master the subject#to be removed from all the essential rhythms of daily life permanently…I do think in actuality all vampires would end up insane#it would break anyone

i think the thing i'm most disappointed about with riordanverse fandom now versus like 2014 is not only has the fandom not gotten any less racist or queerphobic or ableist (in fact in some regards its gotten worse!) but now it's just boring too. like there's no fandom infrastructure anymore - the community these days is almost entirely source material-driven - and you deviate from canon even slightly people get weird about it. whatever happened to the post-HoO fanon boom. the fandom needs to get weirder again. and self-sufficient. and less offensive.
#pjo#riordanverse#deep and weary sigh. we need to bring back the lower ecosystem rings of fandom#prop up some good ol' community spaces especially since a lot of old ones have totally petered out#< mostly referring to stuff like ye olde ship headcanons blogs#heck even doing a quick search for ''pjo headcanons'' the most recent blog was last active in 2017 and the other two in 2013#there's an rp community floating around but im keeping tabs on the riordanverse askblog community and its a bit dire#there's been like what - *one?* maybe two major fandom aus that have floated around recently?#one moreso being one person's au that most people dont actually do much with#and the other more being like a half-hearted general concept that got kicked around for a couple of weeks#i am legitimately tempted to just go wild and start planning out and setting up like a hub for trying to revitalize the community#like the community EXISTS. it's THERE. it ebbs and flows! but now it only really does much when there's new official content#and it rarely exists outside of that#and given we are technically in a fandom boom right now with the show now is like. the perfect opportunity to set up fandom infrastructure#so that new fans have a place to go and integrate with the community and start pumping new life back into things#also i think the fandom becoming more self-sufficient could help with the offensive part since Rick sure isnt helping

egodeath: the disappearance of one's sense of self, or the removal of one's ability to distinguish themselves as an entity separate from their social or physical environment.
#shook arts#oc shiz#takoshi (oc)#i told you you wouldn't be able to guess why he was so happy#i feel like i may need to give context for this#bc i've only briefly touched upon takoshi's over reliance on masking as a coping mechanism#as well as how he feels as if he has to conform to the expectations of others even if that means acting like a different person entirely#but also. idk man i think it kinda speaks for itself#now if someone were to *ask* me to go further into it then ofc i would :] but#for now i think i'm just gonna let the art speak for itself#also sorry not sorry about the next few drawings also probably being less goofy and more serious#i've had some cool ideas i wanna see if i can pull off#tbh getting to like. actually draw and not just do character refs constantly has been nice :]#and now that the creative juices are flowing it's so jover. i will never shut up about these two sorry (not)#oh yeah also. ik some of the proportions are kinda fucked up but uh consider#i don't really care enough to fix it#like this isn't something i'm trying to spend 8 hours on lol it doesn't have to be perfect :]

I read a generally good fantasy-related article yesterday, but the author really lost credit with me with his conflation of the messages Tolkien espoused in writing and his political stances in real life.
#Yeah#no doubt that he actually saw reality as hierarchical with all virtue flowing straight from God.#And that he considered admitting a simple respect for 'higher-ups' as good for one#(the well-known 'setting one's cap for the squire is bad for the squire but good for oneself' comment)#But it is not up to debate that Tolkien was *distinctly* aware that real life kings are not perfect representatives of God#the way they figure in the medieval *ideal* and in his stories xd#Saying Aragorn's coronation proves anything about Tolkien's ideas on how 20th century humans should realistically be governed#is such a reading comprehension fail in terms of understanding paradigms and genres that I cannot even#my post#tolkien#the professor

i forgot. how exhausting playlist making is. damn. sorry about the tags i have so much to say about playlist making lol

HEAD IN HANDS. why are all of you bangers it's not fair...#and then i can't just use the ACTUAL arifer playlist because motherfucker im not starting off my wedding with fucking ARCADIA 💀#and yes the arifer playlist has to be played in order because the order is relevant. it will always be relevant. that's why im stressing#😭#ari.mp3#it's too easy to hate you and hard to love.

#you see actually this is an ingeniously relevant caption b/c of the concept of Authentic food tying into the film's main themes re culture#Clearly impeccable lol....anyway here's me using this blog as like a tumblr hosted imgur#also just now in the shower it occurred to me the parallels / overlaps with My Big Fat Greek Wedding. obviously also v different but#so your family & by extension their culture aren't the Normal & your father especially holds on to this distinction#& you don't just want to work at the family business forever & then you meet a nice boy & there's no problem there he's just nice#except then how to reconcile this with your relationship w/your family & your culture & thus also your identity btw....#anyways how about that uhh#elemental#elemental 2023#pixar elemental#ember lumen#wade ripple#fanart#always a time & a half trying to decide how to tag these kinds of titles. but somehow i survive#it's really a testament to the so precisely captured Cuteness of wade's design that it's like; trying to just do a shadow of it justice lol#it's So good. definitely went for the like expressive wobbliness...the wavy smile is just thee perfect detail all thee time. ugh#giving both of them that Flow while also ember is pointier & has the whole luminosity element....the chefs are kissing#love the Relationship when it's like yeah it's easy to make it agonizing when it's like ya both people have fun & like each other & enjoy#being together & find the relationship enriching & motivating...you Are a cute couple / again that the conflict isn't really even like ooh#will the won't they as a question of if they really like each other; & Definitely not a question of [these ppl hate each other actually] lo#like me saying i like romcoms sometimes when it Does mostly mean i'll watch mybigfatgreekwedding 500x in a row. it's on youtube btw#then you watch some random other romcom & it's psychological torture. random xmas romcomdram like gave me a headache fr....#anyways really liked this film really had a great time i'm def gonna see it again soon#i loved both these characters & their relationship & the Elemental manifestation of Culture is really inchtaraesting#plus other metaphorical resonance ppl find...physical disability; queer experiences....#it was also fun b/c their interacting & their arcs w/each other having that mutual Effect & Change from their dynamic was like#that also just feels like both of them / their relationship = my relationship with myself &/or both how i interact w/the world/anyone#definitely always describing myself in ways like ''i never x except for when i do always; readily'' like Crying for sure lol. I'm Both....#probably a bit more wade? within Myself; by this point lol. i feel like maybe i'm the wade w/someone i'm more comfortable around#but that otherwise i probably come across more emberesque. usually. except for when it's the opposite except for when it's not lmao etc!!!!

i hate the adult timeline with all my heart so im blissfully living in a world where it doesn't exist 💛 (aka rapidly skipping past all adult timeline scenes whenever i rewatch)
#yellowjackets#ill forever stand by the adult timeline should've been a spin-off show.#its writing is so bad. & it's never worth it bc they dgaf abt the actors.#i truly wish it didn't exist so the actresses didn't have to put up w being treated like such shit 🙄#the teen timeline isn't perfect by any means but at least it has an actual story flow#& actual good stakes#not all the time but the weakest moments of the teen timeline still never get even slightly close#to the weakest moments of the adult timeline.#im not sorry for being a hater i enjoy the teen timeline so much & hiss at the adult timeline 5ever#they clearly couldn't handle SO much on their plate & i wish they never tried 😭#like as if a girls' soccer team gets stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash#& slowly succumbs to the madness of being forced to such primal survival instincts#resulting in cannibalism & other fucked up things#is not 1. unique & never been done before 2. INCREDIBLY gripping as a concept#ill never get the adult timeline existing in comparison dawg#it's such a mood & stakes killer.#IT SHOULDVE BEEN A SPIN-OFF ILL NEVER SHUT UP!!#ty for my rant#yj

A Gentlebeard Playlist
Tracklist (and specific lyrics that make me think of these babes):
imagine - Ben Platt Your eyes give life a new meaning / It's like I found the north light / I never knew what I needed / Until I felt your hand holding mine
Remind Me - Emily King You remind me of something / Something that I used to feel myself /Something that I used to feel / Like a heartbeat racing / Like a new beginning
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak The world was on fire and no one could save me but you / Strange what desire will make foolish people do / I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
On + Off - Maggie Rogers Take me through this wild time / Stay with me through all of time / I'm drenched in madness, dangled blue / Won't you, won't you? / Take me to that place where you always go
Hungry Eyes - Eric Carmen One look at you and I can't disguise / I've got hungry eyes / I feel the magic between you and I / I wanna hold you so hear me out / I wanna show you what love's all about
Can't Help Falling In Love - Perfume Genius Like the river flows, Surely to the sea / Darling, so it goes / Some things are meant to be / Take my hand, take my whole life too
I'm Your Man - Mitski You believe me like a God / I destroy you like I am / I'm sorry I'm the one you love / No-one will ever love me like you again / So when you leave me, I should die
First Time - Hozier Remember once I told you 'bout / How before I heard it from your mouth / My name would always hit my ears / As such an awful sound
The Stranger - Melissa Ferrick So let me in now / I am ready to move / And here comes fear and resistance from you / And for once I am willing and now what i've got to wait?
I'll Be with You - Pawns or Kings Spend too much of my time alone / wondering about my friends back home / thinking if they are having more fun / without me
Thirsty Dog - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds I'm sorry about all your friends / I hope they'll speak to me again / I said before I'd pay for all the damages / I'm sorry it's just rotten luck / I'm sorry I've forgotten how to fuck / It's just that I think my heart / and soul are kind of famished
10,000 Emerald Pools - BØRNS I'll dive in deeper, deeper for you / Down to the bottom, 10,000 emerald pools / Under water / Time is standing still / You're the treasure
j's lullaby (darlin' i'd wait for you) - Delaney Bailey I'd give you the sun if you asked me / You could have all of the time / You could have the stars and the trees / When dividin' up the universe / You could have mine
To Bring You My Love - PJ Harvey I think my time is near / And I've traveled over / Dry earth and floods / Hell and high water / To bring you my love
Hold You in My Arms - Ray LaMontagne Weapons of war / Symptoms of madness / Don't let your eyes refuse to see / Don't let your ears refuse to hear / Or you ain't never going to shake / This sense of sadness
Grow as We Go - Ben Platt If to change is what you need / You can change right next to me / When you're high, I'll take the lows / You can ebb and I can flow / And we'll take it slow
First Light - Hozier One bright morning goes so easy / Darkness always finds you either way / It creeps into the corners as the moment fades / A voice your body jumps to calling out your name / But after this I'm never gonna be the same / And I am never going back again
#our flag means death#blackbonnet#ofmd#gentlebeard#edward teach#stede bonnet#ed x stede#my odd mix of 90s and current as usual#the nick cave was too perfect though#feel like I need a beta for playlists#like tell me if the flow makes sense to anyone who's not in my brain#let's see if this actually shows up in the tags#forgive the double Hozier and Ben Platt#the unofficial musical sponsors of this ship#Spotify#playlists#paradox playlists

A Gem for The Princess
Written for @feline17ff using the prompt of Oblivious x Smitten! Hope you enjoy! 😄
“And her eyes, oh her eyes are like the distant ocean, roaring with power and beauty yet always so far out of reach,” the Hero moaned, slumped dramatically on the closest surface for the fifth time that day. “I could drown in those eyes and thank her. But alas, I find myself surviving off nothing but the raindrops of her gaze. But this gem! I am sure that the Gem of Burning Passion will let her see the love in my heart!”
“Can someone please shut him up?” the Barbarian pleaded, groaning when nobody responded to his request, “Come on, I even said ‘please’ this time!”
“You wouldn’t understand! You have never felt the coldness in your heart of a love unrequited!” the Hero cried out, finally moving out of his dramatic pose in the Rogue’s trembling arms. And like Cinderella at midnight, he dashed away into the darkness.
“Ten coins on him getting lost,” the Barbarian laughed, throwing down the coins in question onto their makeshift table.
“This is not a joking matter, Barbarian,” the Wizard scolded, before letting a small smirk make its way onto their face. “Make it twenty, coward.”
“R-Rogue?” the Cleric hestiantly called out, snapping the Rogue out of his trance. “You’re n-not usually this… q-q-quiet.”
“Don’t worry about me, pipsqueak,” the Rogue laughed back, flashing a fake grin with practiced ease. “I’m just scheming what I should buy with the coins I snatched from Hero back there.”
“You haven’t paid for a single thing in your life,” the Wizard deadpanned back. “I don’t expect you to start now.”
“You wound me,” the Rogue gasped, heart over hand in a perfect imitation of Hero. “When have I ever been anything other than the most handsomely noble hero with any of you?”
“And you didn’t even steal anything from him.” the Babarian added, drawing the shocked gazes of all of the other members. “What? I’m dumb, but even I know you always make the same stupid face after you steal something.” To his side, the Wizard blushed a furious red and stared at the Barbarian like they wanted to break their vow of celibacy.
“He’s right. You didn’t steal anything. Then why did you catch him when he-”
“I’m going out to find Hero,” he snapped, storming in the vague direction that Hero had disappeared.
“Hey! That wasn’t part of the bet! That doesn’t count!” he heard the Babarbian yell out behind him. The Rogue ignored him, heart pounding.
“Hero? Hero, if you’re dead I’m going to get a necromancer to bring you back to life and kill you myself!”
“Have you ever been in love, Rogue?” the unnaturally soft voice of Hero asked. He followed the noise, finding the other man sitting against a tree, gaze staring mournfully in the distance.
“Nah,” he lied, sitting down beside the Hero. Well, sitting was probably not the right term for it, but it was at least in the vague resemble of a sitting position. “Too much trouble.” Hero laughed, and he smiled.
“You are trouble, my dear friend. Trying to avoid it would be like trying to stop the sun from shining.” But his good humour faded as quickly as it came, and he returned his gaze to the distant horizon. “She will never even notice me, will she?”
“What the hell do you mean?” the Rogue snapped before he could stop himself. “You’re… you! You would spend years grow a rosebush so that you could shape it in her image! You would thank someone for stabbing you if they painted their blade your favourite colour! If she can’t see-” He forced his mouth shut before he could go any further.
“...You’re right!” the Hero declared, smiling bright enough to blind someone. But the Rogue was too used to shiny things to be affected. “I shall fight the gods themselves if it means gaining a mere fraction of her time!”
“Woah, woah, woah, how about you just stick to finding that magic gem for her? Sometime this week, maybe?”
“The gem! How could I have strayed so far from my goal?” The Hero pulled the Rogue into a tight hug, with he accepted with awkward stiffness. “Thank you! Thank you! I don’t know what I would do without you!” And just like that, the Hero was gone again, off into the darkness.
The Rogue stared at his retreating form, completely frozen. A tratorious part of his brain began telling him how good of a rogue the Hero would make with the right training. He shook his head, forcefully dispelling the thoughts. He had one rule. Never steal people. And the Hero? He knew far too well that the Hero would never belong to him.
With a sigh, he made his way back to the campsite and tried to stop thinking about shiny things.
#oblivious x smitten#my writing#unrequited love#writing#someone has a crush#tehehehe#goofy hero#unrequited crush#writers on tumblr#writeblr#not sure if I should tag that but might as well contribute this to that community as well#wrote this in one day like a madman#instead of my seven other WIPs hahaha#but am actually using a similar ship in one of my WIPs so this was actually perfect to get the angst juices flowing#oh right#angst#thats a tag i forgor

#Doodles#SCII#ZEX#The Captain#As easy as this would be for a Setup - y'know lol - this idea actually came from an angst perspective#I mean - initially it would be fun and fine! ZEX gets his wish of a human! Doesn't have those 20 years of waiting and pining#Building up the idea in his head until he becomes So desperate that anything short of perfection is- Well hmm ♪#I just keep getting stuck on the idea of that common trope of ''What made you like this?'' :/#Or worse yet ''Did someone do something to you to make you like this?''#An older human taking advantage of a brilliant young VUX! Are there no depths to which they won't sink!#Nevermind that no one would listen and he becomes a martyr yet again but this time not the scapegoat#''Oh poor traumatized ZEX he really never was the same after that'' ''It's so unfortunate but you can't blame him too much''#As if any of them actually knew him at all huah#Until he speaks just a little too loudly about how he Wanted this he Reciprocated and it becomes too much of a nuisance to sympathize#The angst I'm telling you#He's in a very unfair situation no matter what! Either way he's being looked down on#Anything to spin things to be humans' fault! Anything to sweep deviation under the rug!#I wonder if he'd even be able to fight humans if this was the flow of things - would he be emotionally detached enough?#Would he even be allowed to? Worry of instability or defection? Is it worse to be disinvolved in the War with a mind like his?#So many moving pieces that would shake out so differently from just one chance encounter at a different time!#He's so integral to so many things having happened the way they did hehe <3 He's very important!#I also like to imagine that even being younger he'd still err on the eloquent side hehe ♪ VUX upbringing! Fanciful ♫#His usual speech but just a little more hurried and nervous hehe <3 Complimenting his human's hair ♪

i started drawing to pass the time on the train and i blacked out and when i came to days later there was some kind of dorky klapollo nonsenseon my screen??
is he, you know,

#ace attorney#klapollo#klavier gavin#apollo justice#aa4#sorry about quality btw you know tumblr#my art#this is by far my favorite klapollo piece i’ve done :) it’s crazy how once you draw the same thing many times you get better at it#amazing#this started as posing/figure practice with dancing poses and i decided to klapolloize it but now i’m thinking about an au….#like what if they’re super competitive rival dancers who are just a little bit obsessed with each other#and they lose their original partners for some reason and are forced to team up but they’ve spent so long watching each other#they actually really understand and flow with the others movements and soon they’re perfect partners#and of course they’re better off working together than as opponents#and. you know. they fall in love. ofc.#brb gonna think about this for a million years#also these are not ballroom poses 😭😭 just a disclaimer#these poses are silly losers dancing like idiots (which is what i was thinking when i was drawing tbf)#maybe i’ll come back and do some real ballroom art another time#also do you like their outfits 🥺 i love the outfits

fanfic rambling in the tags, nothing interesting really, just me talking to myself lol, okay to ignore or read as you please ✨
#so i've found the perfect prompt list for an olli/allu fic advent calendar sorta thing#but i'm too intimidated by my own expectations and ridiculously high standards to even start writing any of them 😭#honestly these prompts are so insanely cute and fit olli/allu PERFECTLY#like. i'm actually having trouble deciding which ones to use because i want to write them all 🥺💞#but i'm so so scared that i'll just end up writing the same (boring) story over again for 24 times 😔#i wish i could just write without thinking and trying so hard to write a literary masterpiece#when i KNOW it's alright if it's just a silly little story about my blorbos#that's perfectly enough and i know this but my brain's just not having it 😩#also if i were to write 24 independent fics i'd have to keep them short and simple but. that's not how i do fics. unfortunately (for me)#to overcome this i guess one option would be to write just one longer piece with 24 chapters#and somehow try to include the prompt of the day in each chapter 🤔#but i don't want to make this even more complicated to myself lol especially because i'm planning to write AUs for a couple of the prompts#i REALLY want to do prompts (of any kind!!) but i'm just so scared of stressing myself out to another months-long writer's block 😭#fair enough the last time that happened (last winter/spring) i was in a shitty place mentally anyway#and so far i've been happy to be writing on random bursts of inspiration. that's how it's the easiest for me. the words just...flow out#i'm so insanely jealous of anyone who can just create stuff when given any prompt 😭#y'all are super humans to me how do you do it pls spill your secrets#and anyone tempted to comfort me by saying i shouldn't stress myself over this and that i don't have to write anything i don't wanna write:#i knoooooowwww and i appreactiate the sentiment but the thing is i actually DO want to write these prompts 😭#in theory at least. because they really are cute as fuck wth 🥺#the problem is that i can't /force/ myself to write something at the snap of my fingers without a clear idea besides the prompt#and also because i know it can take me days to finish even one story let alone 24 💀#so to even START on this project is a little intimidating 🫣#i just fear i won't have the patience :(#and when i realise i won't be able to finish the project i'll become frustrated with myself#if only i knew how to write shorter one-scenes in order to not tire myself out#but often i find those kind of fics somehow...unsatisfying :(#i'm just a sucker for crafting the context/background for stories. a little flesh around the bones if you will 🤧#okay that's all now i'm gonna go stare at a wall while doing nothing useful for the rest of the weekend byeeee#if you read this far i hope you're having a nice saturday
