wanted to say that ive read ur posts where u worry that ur reason to make art is not enough. i think it is a very good reason, mayb the only one that matters even. good luck with ur future career!

(unrelated: thanks for columboposting, u must know that u posted abt his hands once and i think abt them to this day. it made me feral. oh to lick-)

Now to columbo hands- also as an artist thing (but also carnal desire.) I loveloveloveLOVE hands and yeah he has... THE hands 😵‍💫🥴 just for u!!!! Bc i love u!!!! I skipped thru any old port to get some grainy lumbo hand gifs 🥰

My unpopular opinion is that Im0dna is a great example of "just because someone knows you the longest, doesn't mean they know you the best". They don't really underwater each other like other people in the party already do

Hi anon,

So the ask meme is done but I don't actually know if this was intended as part of that, as I also have the sort of personality that solicits unpopular opinions into my inbox anyway. (Also I am guessing underwater is a very funny autocorrect mishap for understand; I have been there).

Anyway, yeah. I think my favorite meta I've seen is that what Imogen and Laudna actually ask of each other is just to be there - because it is true that they have both lived incredibly lonely lives. For what it's worth I think loneliness/missing someone is perhaps the most common thread among Bells Hells, with a secondary theme being victims of circumstance/irrevocably altered by events beyond their control, and it frustrates me that a lot of framing of the ship ignores that Imogen and Laudna are not uniquely suited to understand this about each other. But it is true they have experienced loneliness that, in my opinion, is at least partially self-inflicted (also not unique) and that their response has been to be there for each other.

But it also means there's little room for change, because change threatens that status quo, and there's therefore no space to delve deeper. It's a little bit of the classic problem of if you start a romantic relationship with a friend and then break up, you might lose both the romantic relationship and the friendship. But it's more than that - Chetney and Imogen have zero romantic interest in each other and aren't even terribly close within the party, but when Chetney asks Imogen if she's okay Imogen is actually able to answer with some amount of honesty without pretending everything will work out, as she's not worried about making sure he feels comfortable. Deanna, who's known Imogen for less than a week, is able to address Imogen's constant use of psychic powers in a way that's not unkind but is in fact the honest sort of thing a best friend should be able to tell you. Or for another example, FCG's tendency to strongly urge people, including Imogen, to confront their pasts isn't always the most skilled, but it usually comes from a place of good intentions, whereas Imogen and Laudna's relationship feels...unconsciously transactional? I think we saw in the gnarlrock fight that they're just absolutely terrified of being in a fight and don't really know how to resolve conflict in a way that actually moves forward rather than smoothing things over. Like, it's not an unfair relationship - they're both getting the same companionship out of it - but there's not really space for one person to be angry at the other or to feel wronged. There's no room to breathe.

Anyway - I think the party split is really illuminating this! Imogen is benefiting immensely from this arc, as it both spotlights her relationships with other party members and gives her some time to process after being the central focus for so long. While I have to admit that Team Wildemount is the one I'm far more interested in for a number of reasons (fantastic guests, all the main PCs have cool plot hooks to explore, I love Uthodurn and Molaesmyr) I do hope that we get to see Laudna similarly have a chance to branch out (pun kind of intended).

umm hey anon this is just for you.. :) 🖤

I just realized that most x files episodes are built up like the Columbo episodes are, Columbo is known for showing who the murderer of the episode is from the beginning and they do the same thing most of the time!

True! I never thought about that. My parents loved Columbo 😁

Hi!

I hope you know it’s okay if you can’t or even wouldn’t want to respond to me. The fact I see you still on here, and even remembering my existence in your tags, makes me so happy.

Fall is coming, my favorite time of year. I’ve been feeling kind of melancholy (summer is my worst season lol) and watching shows I grew up with, silly stuff like Scooby Doo and Care Bears. But I love it still. It’s nice watching simple, happier stuff sometimes.

Of course I’m still watching Columbo, at a slower rate than before lol, or I might have a heart attack. He’s way too funny and cute.

I hope life starts to treat you better. Love ya!

hi!!!! of course i still want you around, i'm really sorry i wasn't able to bring myself around to respond to a lot of your prior messages, i've been feeling this way for a really long time and, like i said, it's been difficult for me to respond at all to anyone, asks and people i enjoy hearing from included. i'm really sorry to come off unwelcoming, it's never anything to do with you, and honestly you've made a huge impact on me and my mutuals!! people send me a lot of stuff to tag for you, so you have your own audience here :)

summer's the worst for me too, but it's great to hear that you're sticking it out in a really positive and peaceful way. i hope fall treats us both well!!! (and hope to hear more from you again, thank you so much)

I'm a few episodes in to Columbo and I gotta say there's an unexpected tension when he's antagonizing the murderers. Like, S1 Ep 5 he gets into a yacht ALONE with a man we know DUMPED a body that way!!! I'm so often frightened for him lol

i know right like girl stop following the murderer around...that guy is capable of murder!!!!!!

Sometimes I think about Colombo in Hellraiser telling Julia how his wife loves puzzles

“a lament configuration, huh? well now ain’t that something special.. me i wouldn’t make heads or tails outta it but, you know, - my wife - she knows all about the experiments in the higher reaches of pleasure, or, ahem, those cenobite fellas, now let me tell ya — that’s an interesting bunch… the point, mrs. cotton? oh well sure i’m getting to it.. the thing about the order of the gash though, - but you must’ve heard about that already, - the thing is once they’ve got their hooks in ya, it’s awful hard to get away from their dimension, you know? at least, without a blood sacrifice, and see, that’s funny ta me how there’s s—

Hi. Sorry for saying negative things about tv show you enjoy in the past. I hope it didn't make you upset...

idk what this relates to. Either way this is one of the things you don't need to worry a bit about, I talk negatively about the shows I enjoy all the time :D

[transgender-scout]

I have never watched an episode of Colombo in my life but he’s like a blorbo in law to me, a baby girl even

Right??? I love him so much.

I found the series on free on freeve I think and watched a couple seasons. I think it’s a really interesting way to do a crime show, kind of watching it from the killer’s POV. I honestly highly recommend it. I like how it’s shot and I love that kind of grainy 70s film it has :]

Plus columbo is there :D if you’re watching it just for him, you might not have as great of a time, but I love it when he is there. He’s very kind to everyone, even when they’re mean to him.

There’s one episode that I like where a man and his brother had a wine business together and one guy was upset that his brother was squandering the family business so he kills him. And he talks down to columbo for pretty much the entire episode until he catches him in a lie with an elaborate plan. The man quietly tells columbo that he’s a superb detective and meekly asks if he can have one last taste of a wine he’d been saving. And columbo pulls out that very bottle of wine and they enjoy it together before columbo books him.

It’s just. He’s such a kind man you know? He loves his wife and his kids and his shitty old jalopy car.
