oke it's 5pm and i've been day drinking but come closer. listen to me

i get asked for character writing advice quite a lot and i really don't feel qualified to give any but i have 1 (one) hack for relationship dynamics that hasn't failed me yet and it's the Ikea Test

if you're figuring out how to characterise a relationship (platonic or romantic) and you're struggling: just imagine them having to put together an ikea flatpack and write how it would go

Ooh one thing I forgot in my breakdown of The Grand Complication Job

Even if I hadn't seen Suspiciously Good Leverage-leaning posts from Jeri Ryan about coming back to Leverage over the past few years, the moment that clued me in to Tara being back was when the glass shattered around the watch, and we knew no one on screen we'd seen so far did it.

Because that kind of smash-and-grab, ask questions later, leave a tornado in your wake is not Parker's, Astrid's, or Sophie's style.

It is DEFINITELY hers though.

THE HEART KILLERS (2024) episode nine

[krysmcscience]

The Lamb is malicious in a funny way and the Goat is funny in a malicious way. No, I will not elaborate.

Anyway, everyone give thanks to the Lamb for interrupting what was sure to be a very boring and patronizing PSA from their grouchy cat hubby. Truly, they are doing God's work. Granted, the Lamb canonically is God now, so, uh. Mostly they're just doing their own work.

Speaking of their grouchy cat hubby, yes this is absolutely still Narilamb, Narinder is 100% into his goofy-ass spouse always no matter what and we all know it, he just wasn't expecting his brand new adopted kid to share the same single goofy-ass brain cell as the Lamb. :)

What he says:

THE "NOTHING" IN QUESTION:

He made this for Rook? Based on their favourite drink? I think maybe I'd rather fight the gods than this recipe. That sounds like so much work.

"It's nothing. Or not enough."

Oh, you precious, sweet dummy, you're getting married, and you don't even know it yet.

Really love how the fandom decided that post-canon Hollow is skilled at and enjoys cooking/baking

I see this hc all over the place (I've adopted it myself!) And It's honestly adorable

when carlos did the steering with the blindfold charles just instinctively followed and was full focused on feeling for carlos' input. it was one of their quietest videos.

when charles tries steering with carlos' hair (and briefly his head) it ends up being one of their most chaotic previews if not the most because carlos needs to stim and can't focus and tensed his neck like he was doing his gym exercises (instead of relaxing it so his head is manoeuvrable like charles did) (and also allegedly has hair so miraculous he can't feel it being yanked on).

if this doesn't tell you who's the sub and who's the dom idk what will.

the thought of satoru talking to himself whilst trapped in the prison realm makes me so sad but at the same time satoru TALKING to HIMSELF is sooooooooo 💝💝💝

as someone of read-the-wicked-book-when-i-was-too-young-and-only-remembered-the-weird-sex-parts experience, it's been really interesting to reflect on certain reputations the book has taken on in the fandom in the decades since the musicals release. for a long time it felt like it was just kind of the accepted narrative that elphaba went insane bc fiyero died, and for more recent readers ive seen discussion of whether the books politics are leftist enough; both of which i think are oversimplifications.

sure, elphaba doesn't really complete any radical action successfully but isn't that the crux of her mental break down? she is someone living in a rapidly changing fascist society who has total clarity of moral vision for the ways in which disenfranchised classes are being hurt by the system who cannot for the life of her figure out a way to actually change said system on her own. and fiyero's death is a part of that without a doubt but i don't think its the only contributing factor in her own death. she is thwarted at an approaching cosmic level (shout out to any yackle heads in the building) at every turn: her intellectual questioning coincides with doctor dillamond's murder, her first attempt at a more democratic approach by negotiating with the wizard are a complete flop and she loses one of her most important allies in the process, her turn to more extreme methods are a bust when she can't bring herself to potentially harm children which domino effects into fiyero's death, she abandons kiamo ko at a critical moment and returns to find sarima and her family have been captured, literally all of her familiars save the monkeys get killed trying to stop dorothy, etc etc. and throughout the book we run into countless people who's positioning to what's happening politically is basically "if i don't look at it it's not there and can't hurt me," even if they are otherwise relatively kind and well-meaning people

if anything, i think the book is arguing that inaction (or faulty action) in times of great political peril whether by choice, acquiescence, or circumstance is ultimately completely poisonous to the self and others. and as an american (sorry) living through uncertain political times i think a story about someone who goes insane because they watch the news and understand what is going on and what is coming is going to be horrible but feel helpless to stop it is um VERY topical........

@mymusehowls I actually drew Nie Mingjue braiding Meng Yao's hair a couple months ago, so I decided to switch it up and let Meng Yao braid Nie Mingjue's this time!

Dealing with all that hair must take forever, so they may as well go over morning reports while fussing around with it u.u
