#genuinely as much as jesse is my fav

[litres-of-cocaine]

i cannot believe that people genuinely dislike skyler white it is so strange!!! like even my dad called her manipulative and yes, sure but like that’s what makes her so fun??

like i think the direction they took her in s5 was the right and logical one for her character but s4 was PEAK come on.

in the early seasons she is essentially the embodiment of the stay-at-home mum existence and she’s an interesting and assertive character in conversation with that but ultimately used a plot device. like the family life she represents conflicts with the meth trade that walt is getting involved in. obviously she has an inner life going on, i.e. her pregnancy and the arguments with marie about the shoplifting, but she more seems like an individualised portrait used for walt’s deception. she’s propping up the narrative where walt lies to himself about the reasons he does it and parallels his family life to his business life.

like this is not to diminish that side of her character at all (although it is irritating that we don’t get a female character that isn’t a family member or love interest be a larger part of the narrative until s5) but i feel it’s more of a setup not just for walt but her later arc.

s4 where she is actively involved in the money laundering, buying of the car wash etc. is so so dear to me as it’s such an interesting view into her naivety but her skills in doing this.

where krazy 8 said walter wasn’t suited to that life and then he turned out to be works in a similar to manner to how skyler adjusts to this sudden criminal enterprise that she is a major part of. she also turns out to be good and criminal-minded when she gets involved even if she is unsceptical that what walt (and her by extension) are doing is hurting people.

she doesn’t want to be involved because she’s afraid for walt but it’s undeniable that she is good at it. i would argue that this characterisation of her as so overly cautious and nearly paranoid is paralleled to gus’s cautiousness and care and is probably the most successful businessman that we see throughout breaking bad. certainly more successful if we are thinking in terms of caution and longevity. skyler. beyond this parallel she is already shown to be good with tax evasion in that whole ted plotline and then manages to get him off of prison after the irs discovered him. the irs. the people who are literally ruthless when it comes to that kind of stuff.

it creates such an interesting contrast with walt who likes that world not only because he is good at it but also because he likes the power it gives him over others. it makes him ‘feel alive’ blah blah blah etc etc. but skyler doesn’t enjoy this power. when ted is afraid of her she is devastated and feels the guilt of her actions come up on her all at once and this is the start of her unhappiness and fear of walt. like in s4 she’s not *happy* but she’s not necessarily unhappy either. there’s a whole ass scene of her bouncing holly on her knee while she’s looking up money laundering on wikipedia.

this all comes crashing down in s5 and becomes particularly obvious after the midpoint of the series. she’s practically a shell of herself. those looks between her and jesse at the car wash?? could not be more obvious kind of submission to walt’s gross authority from either of them.

(don’t get me talking about the parallels between skyler and jesse it will set me on a roll)

and again this makes sense for the changing dynamic between her involvement and the increased understanding of how violent the business the both of them are a part of is. her character is not less interesting but definitely less fun to watch. it’s not presented as cathartic suffering for the audience either which i think brba did a good job with. she’s not assertive anymore and i think that’s a great example of the effects it’s had on her. she’s lost a key component of her character. like i guess you could call her high-maintenance or difficult in s1 if you found her annoying and that’s an opinion but realistically i’d say she was just assertive in way that’s alienating for some of the misogynistic sides of the fanbase.

she regains some of this right at the very end where she confronts walter thinking he’s going to say he did it for the family again. it’s only a small thing in refusing to let walt walk all over her but at least it has some reclamation of her initial character!

this has been a ramble and i think i had other things to say but in conclusion:

skyler white is overhated

[youhavethesun]

jess and rory s6 in her bedroom at her grandparents house,, I don’t know why I do this to myself but I just watched a clip of that scene and I have tears in my eyes. i’m not even saying this for exaggeration i’m genuinely tearing up.. I feel so nauseous like what we could have had !! they were both so happy to see each other. jess’ “you graduate already doogie?!” like he is so completely ready to be overjoyed for her and rory’s little speech about finding the subsect in bookstores and writing her own recommendation notes is just… I am beside myself at how happy they are around each other here :((((

cursed child london year 7 cast

the other week i got to see the year 7 london cast of cursed child and i am AMAZED!!! such a strong cast of wonderful performers across the board and i was absolutely blown away with their performances! you can tell they really understand their characters and have really worked on the dynamics and relationships with each other to create a realistic interpretation of these beloved characters!!

as always, i’m always watching the scorbus duos to see the little things they do with each other and i just want to say that ellis and harry’s scorbus is such a delight!!! they’re definitely my fav pair now hands down! such a sweet youthful portrayal of albus and scorpius and their dynamic on stage is so so pure i adored them sooo much!!

i got to meet ellis and harry after the show and ellis knew who i was and hugged me im fine

ELLIS ALBUS IS SO SKRUNKLY AND SMALL AND CUTE HELP ME

james sings the end of his lines and it’s SO FUNNY

it genuinely looked like scorpius was leaning in to kiss albus after he tells him to come to the funeral

harry putting his legs up on the desk and trying to touch his toes while hermione is scolding him in his office and she just 😐

BREAD BREAD WHATS WRONG WITH BREAD??? scorpius was very excited about the bread

scorpius’ hand on albus’ chest when the train started

scorpius protectively putting his entire arm over albus’ chest in st oswald’s when amos pulled his wand out

scorpius as harry was the FUNNIEST SHIT EVER THE VOICE CRACKS AND THE LITTLE JUMPS david absolutely nailed the harry!scorpius mannerisms

“WIZZO!” (jump and finger guns) i love one skrunkly boy

scorpius looking so shocked and terrified when delphi grabbed albus’ hand and kissed his cheek

once delphi kissed albus’ cheek, she turned around to face scorpius and both of them look SO REPULSED like absolutely not get away from me

edge of the forest !!! scorpius looked so happy to call albus his best friend and albus was so shocked and so in awe (people in the crowd literally awwwed at it)

albus looking at scorpius so admirably at the triwizard tournament while he was geeking out

i’ve never seen such longing stares in the staircase ballet what the fuck

delphi’s ‘you two you belong together’ was just sooo knowing like jess!delphi is a scorbus advocate

ellis’ hair 🥰🥰🥰🥰

the collective gasp from the audience when albus said he wasn’t a loser before he met scorpius in the library… OUCH

hermione crying after ron said ‘my hermione’ and trying to hide her tears when ron kept talking to her

SCORPIUS AND THE DEMENTORS !!!! harry!scorpius absolutely devoured idk

scorpius’ scream when albus came up in the water SENT ME he squealed to the rooftops

ITS HARRYYY (the highest pitched scream i’ve ever heard scorpius was VERY excited)

hermione in tears after mcgonagall’s office and rose just running into her arms when she sees her crying oh i love them

intense staring in slytherin dorms holy mother of god

the massive scream cry delphi did in the owlery HOLY SHIT it like mimicked the cry of an augurey bird it was SO GOOD i was genuinely scared for a hot second

delphi’s “looOooooooOove” when looking at scorpius and pointing out albus’ weakness oh jess vickers my queen devours every time + albus unable to look at scorpius and scorpius in utter shock

WAIST GRAB WAIST GRAB AND SCORPIUS’ HAND ON ALBUS’ IM COMING UP when albus and scorpius had to hide from lily with the blanket, albus literally just stood behind scorpius with his hand on his waist and scorpius had his hand on top of albus’ it was sooooo adorable

harry crying in his office after talking to the dumbledore portrait and draco walking in, giving a ‘i ain’t dealing with this’ face and turning to walk out LMFAO

“ugh, is that a farmers market?” steve!draco HATES FARMERS MARKETS HELP

scorpius jumping into draco’s arms when reunited :’)

albus and scorpius literally sitting on each other in st jerome’s, their legs against each other and albus leaning into scorpius’ shoulder they’re so :((

hermione and albus are definitely close and i live for it she was so warm and comforting to him in st jerome’s this is all i’ve dreamed of

“and now i think you’re finding wonderful clarity” and GINNY LOOKING OVER AT SCORPIUS GOD SHE KNOWSS

SCORPIUS DOING FINGER GUNS ON NEW VERSION OF US THEY BOTH DID FINGER GUNS AT EACH OTHER ALBUS DID THEM BACK THEY ARE SO SILLY

scorpius waving, albus waving, scorpius turning to leave, giggling and waving again I FEEL ILL

david!harry completely understands albus’ love for scorpius and you can really tell in the final scene when albus tells him scorpius is the most important person in his life. he catches on throughout the show and it’s really nice to see him fully accept his son’s bond with scorpius and be content with it!!

like mentioned before, such an incredible cast and i am so sad i won’t get to see them again!!! they are truly wonderful and i hope a lot of you get to see them bc they are fantastic <3

heres the list of my favourite shadowhunter couples from all the series (not including twp for obvious reasons) bc i cant sleep

TID: Gideon n Sophie. I KNOW KNOW EVERYONE LOOVES HERONGRAYSTAIRS I DO TOO THEYRE MY HEART ND SOUL but gideon n sophie man. cmon. theres sweet hurt sophie that thinks men like gideon r assholes bc of her former employers son and will, and gideon REINFORCES that by constantly talking in spanish while hes actually absolutely down BAD for sophie. she thinks shes not good enough for him, her being a mundane 'servant' and 'ugly' from her scarred face and him being the eldest son carrying the great shadowhunter lightwood name. and then hes just there ordering scones to his room just to see sophie, and ending up stashing them under the bed bc he doesn't even LIKE them. and pretty, smart sophie, although FURIOUS at first, goes 'so yea u dont like scones. what about SPONGE CAKES???????? THEYRE MY SPECIALTY' and then he falls so in love with her and proceeds to tell everyone hes marrying her before even proposing to her. i love them.

TLH: Alastair n Thomas. i love love love them not only their pair but them as separate characters too. esp bc the two didnt have the kind of shit the other ships had to deal with like james n cordelia were 'OH HE LOVES GRACE BUT I LOVE HIM / OH I LOVE GRACE BUT IM MARRIED TO CORDELIA / I SHOULD RUN AWAY W MATTHEW / fuck im in love with cordelia.' and lucie n jesse were like 'IM IN LOVE W A GHOST WHO'S THE SON OF A WOMAN WHO HATES MY FAMILY / shes only in love w me bc im a ghost and she likes writing stories so im one of her stories SHE DOESNT REALLY LOVE ME BUT I LOVE HER BUT IM A GHOST SO I CANT *REALLY* LOVE HER PROPERLY LIKE SHE DESERVES' and ari and anna were like 'OH I LOVE HER BUT I WANT KIDS SO I'LL MARRY CHARLES WHO, BTW, IS GAY :3 / OH I LOVE HER but im a stony heartbreaker women, lock your daughters and then yourselves im coming after you / oh my god i cant marry charles I LOVE YOU ANNA TAKE ME BAACK / ha! im stony heartbreaker.' and we all know the problem w matthew n cordelia, and alastair and charles AND grace and christopher (my heart stopped beating i swear to you). like i know Alastair and thomas definitely HAD to overcome some shit but Thomas KNEW he liked guys and alastair and alastair was pr sure about it too so when they got together, they GOT together ykwim??? no hanky panky. plus theres also the 'thomas-is-basically-michelangelos-david' so yea. no brainer. theyre my fav.

TMI: Alec and Magnus. okay so this is for both obvious reasons (fan favourite) and some other personal ones. Living where i do, i had no idea you could like the same gender as yourself or ltr anything about the LGBTQ+ community at all. These two were the first gay ship i had EVER read and they are what lead me to be as confident in my sexuality as i am right now. they introduced me to the concept of thinking beyond what i was told or shown by the people that surround me and look into the world the right way, without projecting judgement. i love them for that. theyre my comfort characters and the one of the biggest reasons i am who i am right now. also magnus is pr much why i adore glitter and i manage to put it on my face every other day ahaha

TDA: Diana n Gwynn. a very, very close second is Mark n Cristina n Keiran. but about Diana and Gwynn, they literally have my entire soul im not even kidding you. Gwyn is the first person Diana opens up to about her transition and its honestly so heartwarming that Gwyn, the leader of the Wild Hunt, known to be vicious and feared by faerie, is literally just there for her to lean on. He supports her and is so, so calm and soft with her it genuinely melts me. like, this man is basically the reaper of souls and he rides a magnificent steed into the night but hes so gentle with Diana. obviously my obsession w them is reinforced by the fact that the FIRST time Gwynn sees Diana he goes 'O' and is all like 'HELLO my fair lady beautiful one gorgeous strong lovely lady' and gives her an acorn like 'call me ;)' and diana my love just, THROWS the acorn to julian and emma and goes 'do w that whatever u will' and acts like she doesnt care and when they call on gwyn he comes to help nd immediately goes '...THAT WASNT FOR YOU but ig i'll help bc ur the magnificent lady's brats :/'

so yes thats it. now pls, whatever fucking ghost is haunting me with these thoughts, PLEASE LET ME SLEEP

HI heres a list of really great mcsm artists (personal recs)

mainly made for my friend @glitxhy-b0yy!!! :D who is a FANTASTIC artist themselves and has some great content on there!!

also partially as a self indulgent post to compliment my friends so lets go!! (yes this does mean that my opinions are going to be bias asf dont come for me--)

this is not a COMPLETE list but its just the artists that i can come up with off the top of my head-- might add more later!

polarized-here

polar's artworks is what i like to describe as comforting as it consists of neat lineart and cell shading with glowing effects! they're probably most commonly known for their admin!jesse au, which is a fucking BADASS au with the coolest concept artwork that i've seen?? like hands down, stunning with a stunning execution of it. polar's artwork are like,,, holy shit man. they're such a cool person :)

terracomets

rusty is a phenomenal artist AND writer who has an au series that i cannot recommend enough called Misfit Mania!! He has a BUNCH of great character designs, including ocs and other medias too! i consider him a jack of all trades bc no matter what fandom, no matter what kind of character it is, rusty always succeeds at great portrayal of them :DD his fav character is axel and as a result, he's got a bunch of fantastic axel artwork on his blog!! :)

mcs-art-etc/lukasdoodles

lukasdoodles has genuinely one of the most unique art styles that i have ever that is both adorable AND menacing /pos at times. their artwork consists of colorful lineart, and INSANELY detailed clothings, like oh my god. they're also INSANELY creative when it comes to it as well, putting in so many ruffles, and belts, and!!! so much more!! not only that but they have a bunch of blaze rods drawings on their blog!! including gill, who i think is one of the underrated characters in mcsm! they also do some animation every now and then, which is always so cool to see!!

zonerz

zonerz is one of those dual part artist and dual part writers with their great artwork and writing! they're really good at putting together lore and is super in-depth when it comes down to the nitty gritty! their armor drawings are really well done and i admire the attention to details with every single one of their drawings!!

zoomire

fel is one of the coolest fucking people i have ever met and #1 cassie rose fan. their artstyle reminds me of traditional paintings that you would find in a museum, like it is so refined and their character anatomy is ON POINT with how they draw muscles and scars so realistically. their aiden design is also one of the most dazzling to me bc of how they incorporate lightning into his scars. ALSO a huge aidrose fan if not THE president of the goddamn ship. they have so many character analysis on them both together and separately and they're always written SO WELL WITH SO MUCH RESPECT TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL.

a lost crow

crow has a bunch of fantastic mcsm content but one of their most fascinating ones is their command!lukas au, which has a whole story to go alongside it but i won't spoil it ;) and their individual jesse au where every single jesse has their own personality traits and they're so unique and well written!! absolutely love both au to bits!

acraftedmistake

acraftedmistake's art is unique in the sense that it is purely traditional and takes great advantage of paper texture as well as textures from markers and pens to make its presence known! to add to that, they do a bunch of mcsm work themed around horror! i do need to put a warning that they sometimes involve gore though it is very artistically done!! phenomenal artist!!

zhezhy

Zhenya has enough content to the point where i can make an entire POST this long to talk about her and the absolutely stunning drawings she makes about mcsm, particularly about the old order of the stone. she excels at drawing ivor, harper, and soren the most, though she has dwelved into other characters that haven't had the most light shed on them. my absolute favorite thing about her artwork is her artstyle because it is this GORGEOUS sketchy style where both the colors and the lines express themselves SO WELL and SO EFFECTIVELY! i can go raving mad about it honestly

offeathersandcube/novatheastropirate

Nova's artwork, i would like to define it, is filled with love and care. Her lineart and coloring patterns are colorful and light, as if they were drawn for the illustration for a book series, filled with so much delight. Nova's specialty is how she both writes and draws Ellegaard with so much appreciation for her character and through her portrayal of her. It's nothing short of dedication and heart. Nova's other works are also great as well and they do a lot to show Nova's artistic talent.

FOR MAEL - 13. If you could draw effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what scene (s) would you draw for this character? 27. Do you like to ship this character with other characters or do you prefer not to? 50. Link your fav song, playlist, aesthetic board, fan-fiction, reference pile, personal artwork, analysis post, meme, headcanon, or quote for this character. Whichever one (s) you are most comfortable with!

If you could draw effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what scene (s) would you draw for this character?

I see what you did there Kacy 😅

If I could draw the way I imagine things in my head and I had enough time to draw like that, I would draw so much Mael, girl. Mael and Marius in the tavern. Mael in his stupid lil cowboy outfit from QotD. Mael with Jesse, Mael with Maharet, Mael with Jesse and Maharet. Avicus braiding Mael's hair. MAEL!!!!!

Do you like to ship this character with other characters or do you prefer not to?

I used to say it was a joke thing but I think I've tricked myself into genuinely shipping Marius and Mael 😅 I also ship Maharet/Mael/Jesse and Avicus/Mael, but I unfortunately don't often get a lot of coherent ideas for them though =T him with Jesse in QotD makes me so feral though!!!!!

Link your fav song, playlist, aesthetic board, fan-fiction, reference pile, personal artwork, analysis post, meme, headcanon, or quote for this character. Whichever one (s) you are most comfortable with!

Idk about fic bc like I'm responsible for around a third of his character tag on AO3 🥲 but I love @nasnyys's Mael!

A headcanon I have about him is that after going in the sun at the end of Memnoch he's just been chilling having a Big Vampire Dirt Nap to sleep it all off; he woke up, saw that Vampire Court shit with Marius and Mini-Marius in charge, and went back to sleep. I'm also partial to Mael Is Filled With Rage: a Compilation

I suppose that counts as a quote but I also want to share one of the many moments in QotD that makes me absolutely fucking feral every time:

The getting so horny for Jesse he accidentally explodes a vase with is mind is a close second place, but I just love this entire exchange. Maharet yeets him off the terrace to stop him drinking Jesse's blood, then he just gets up and BLOWS HER A FUCKING KISS!!! I'm throwing a fucking fit

I'm lovem him

[rinadragomir]

I’m so confused after finishing Chain of Thorns.. how are you feeling?? How would you rate it in comparison to Chog and Choi and are you happy with it overall as a conclusion for these characters? (I’m so selfish I need more..)

WE'RE FEELING GREAT BUT ALSO LIKE THERE'S NO REASON TO LIVE ANYMORE HA HA ha....🙃🙂🙃🙂

Oh oh Chot is my 3 fav book from all TSC series so far. But I have 4 issues with it

1)not enough Jordelia

2)no Gabrily reaction to u know what

3)no Malcolm/Annabel interactions

4)what about "I didn't choose this life"?

But I genuinely enjoyed everything else🥹i love how Mathew's alcoholism topic was handled, I absolutely love how Matthew and James supported each other even during some fights (they had even more sweet deep moments than Will/Jem, I said what I said), HERONDALE FAMILY ADOPTING JESSE and being loving chaotic family 🥹 SO MUCH Thomastair content omfg, fandom screamed SO DAMN LOUD that Cassie could have heard them from the moon

Every Christopher/Grace interaction, I was never their biggest fan, but THOSE DAMN MOMENTS did something to me🥺Plus CC remembered! that 8 years ago she said Lottie and Henry will have twin daughters 🫶🏻Oh and Matthew's letter to James🤌🏻 I'm SO GLAD Cassie let him being alone for a while, gave him some time to travel, to learn more about himself and the world around him. OH AND SHE FINALLY REMEMBERED ABOUT DAISY/LUCIE INTERACTIONS GOD HEARD MEEEEE

Of course I also need more, but I know we'll definitely have more: novella about one of the TLH characters + Jordelia extended scene (18+ version)

[recapitulation]

hi lexi ❣️ i saw you french horn posting and it made me think about how much i loved the french horn when i was a kid so i would love to know if you have recommendations for some french horn listening ok go 🎤

JESS 🫶🫶🫶🫶 you looked into my mind and found the question I most wanted to be asked at all times.... 💕💌💕💌💕

my fav horn concerto is gliere, especially the second movement... it's so full of warmth and feels like a hug 🫶 or maybe a kiss... 😳

when I tell you I'm fucking obsessed w the tcherepnin horn quartets I mean I am still to this day getting chills after years of listening on repeat... especially the first one! the peacefulness here is beyond words imo

richard strauss concerto!!! captivating from the immediate beginning!!

franz strauss concerto!! back when I used to run this was one of my favorites to run to 🏃‍♂️

the opening of bruckner symphony 4 is one of my favorite horn moments ever and the symphony as a whole is one of my favorites! bruckner is famous among horn players for knowing how to utilize the horn 🫶

speaking of famous among horn players 😏 mahler 5 is a horn player favorite and I would reccomend listening 10 thousand times if you haven't already!! it has many many many romantic, sweeping horn solos!

haha did you think I would finish this list without saying mahler 2. MAHLER 2!!!!!!! seriously genuinely and for real this piece changed my fucking life. it is famous for its ending for a reason it fucks severely. and there's so so so many good horn parts bc mahler was a fucking genius.

I will link the very ending of mahler 2 bc it gives me chills every time but I will say the emotional payoff is probably not as great if you aren't already familiar w all of the themes as he layers them all together so I would reccomend listening from the beginning!!!

11. How did you “fall in love” with this character? 

49. What’s your favorite personality trait in this character?

50. Link your fav song, playlist, aesthetic board, fan-fiction, reference pile, personal artwork, analysis post, meme, headcanon, or quote for this character. Whichever one (s) you are most comfortable with!  For Mael, please

( character asks! )

OMG :D THANK U FOR ASKING 11. How did you “fall in love” with this character? 

I THINK I KINDA FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM BY PROXY since Marius is my favorite character! And yknow for whatever like Blorbo Magic reasons or whatever, Marius was my fav INSTNATLY the moment I met him, and like Mael is such an integral part of his story! And I don't think I thought about it too much during TVL but then the chapter about Jesse meeting him in QOTD is one of my fav parts of the series, up there with the Devil's Minion imo! He just seemed like such a goofy weirdo!

And then like getting to spend more time with him in B&G just ! UGH! I just think he's so interesting. I think I always liked him but it was a slow burn and I do like him THROUGH Marius in a lot of ways, even though I like him on his own as well. We just know the most about him through Marius.

49. What’s your favorite personality trait in this character?

I like that he's sort of naive? Even as a human when Marius meets him, he says: he looked very, very clever, but very young and innocent also. And he wasn't young. The effect was perplexing. And I think everything about him via Marius has to be taken with a grain of salt, not just because of the resentment and lack of tolerance for religious people, but also the bigotry Marius had as a Roman, and all the Roman propaganda against the Keltoi. So there's this muddled description of like, naivete, innocence, youngness that gets (I think) mixed in with Marius just think that Mael's religious beliefs are inherently fanciful.

Still, as far as we believe Marius in the text, there's clues that Mael didn't understand his vampire powers, didn't realize how fast he could go, didn't master the Mind Gift, HE AND AVICUS DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PUT MAEL'S LIMBS BACK ON, etc. And then the chapter with Jesse, too, the sort of wonder he has in asking her very mundane questions about being human. WHAT DOES CHOCOLATE TASTE LIKE? AREN'T YOU AFRAID OF AEROPLANES?

The thing Marius doesn't understand about him, which means that we can only know it as subtext, is that Mael's beliefs are genuine because he'd communed with Teskhamen. His religious fervor wasn't a matter of being brainwashed or believing in magic--it was something he'd experienced. And he was a priest! He was educated within his own culture, Marius just couldn't admit it because he didn't respect Mael's culture!

So there's a fine line between Marius CALLING Mael innocent & chlid-like for his sincere beliefs, vs Mael actually being soft and curious and asking questions about chocolate.

(Also keeping in mind that he spent how much time with Maharet, known professional Cult De-Programmer, and I wonder how much time he'd spent with humans before he met Jesse, etc.) ANYWAY I just think, he's very sweet and wise on the inside, and 90% of the text about him is from Marius's POV so we have to read between the lines a bit. i LOVE HIM OKAY.

50. Link your fav song, playlist, aesthetic board, fan-fiction, reference pile, personal artwork, analysis post, meme, headcanon, or quote for this character. Whichever one (s) you are most comfortable with! 

SO TBH THIS IS MY MARIUS PLAYLIST LOL but my Marius playlist is very like "captured by druids and fed to the God of the Grove" heavy, vibes-wise, so it kinda doubles as Mael playlist. I will state for the record that I'm aware that a lot of today's neofolk that's on here comes from Scandinavia and is more aligned with Norse stuff & Vikings BUT STILL I'm not being picky, I just want spooky folk music inspired by ancient instruments and it will do lol. Today I listened to this song and I got so weepy about Mael LMAO.

[lttleghost]

Hi just want to say that I agree with transfem Jesse Pinkman 🤝

- signed a transfem tomboyish who vibed a lot with Jesse

HEHEHEEE <333

egg Jesse is genuinely my fav analysis in the world, I mean part of that is because Jesse is my wife my baby girl my princess my everything - but also I'm proud of how much of the actual analysis that has me read her as transfem were my own observations, like I did have to be introduced to the idea that Jesse could be transfem through a meme cause it just hadn't occurred to me before but then all of these observations about her that I had that felt disconnected from a larger picture up until that point just suddenly slotted into place and IT JUST MADE SO MUCH SENSE, it seamlessly blends with her existing character and I just love it

it's also so nice to see how many transfems I meet that also really relate to the reading, I've been really happy to see my sisters enjoy this reading of her, this one comment on my video essay in particular I deeply deeply cherish

I def project on her a little just in a sort of backwards way, or I guess more accurately I project onto my personal interpretation of her because I think all transfem egg readings of her are very good, but I do enjoy the option of making her no-med no-op gnc like I am (I'm just transmasc instead of transfem) she is the cooler version of myself

I'm planning on doing a page of her in different outfits that this is gonna be a part of so I haven't made it it's own post (tho I've posted WIPs) but this is very much making me wanna share this full render of her in an outfit I've wanted to put her in since way before I took up 3D modeling to bypass my difficulty in DRAWING humans

I do notice that I tend to depict her a bit more feminine than I really think she'd present or at least present most of the time, I talked about that kinda recently, and it's pretty constantly on my mind (tho I think the above picture is more like, a bit too exposing vs too feminine, but me having her shirt open to show her lacy bra still is part of that attempt to make her transfeminity harder to deny)

wow I sure am using this ask as an excuse to ramble aren't I?

[lovirgo]

Love island opinions

-I actually like Molly. Fab girl🤏🏾

-Ella is stunning and I relate to her and needing reassurance.

-Ty is actually hilarious even tho he’s VERY rude, it’s still funny and at least he’s genuine 🤷🏾‍♀️

-Mitch is too much for me. He can never say how he feels without involving someone else weirdo

-Jess is a fave and her and Sammy are a good couple but I don’t really trust him with her. I think he’s a good dude but he hasn’t proven his loyalty.

-Zachariah and Ty are actually sexy as hell. Like Je-yee-sus. But Zach is sneaky to me like he never says how he feels until it’s too late.

-Catherine does not deserve hate. Plenty of ppl have been a lil rude. Love her down.

-Whitney is just fab. The fav for a reason. I don’t have a fave w the girls tho.

-Leah surprised me she mad strict on dude lmaoo

-Honestly I see why Ella did what she did and why Ty was upset. I was in tears for like four hours afterwards and I already knew he took her back. 😭😭😭😭 They’re my favs. I felt so bad for him.

-Kady is very messy but doesn’t wanna seem like it. Don’t like that.

-Scott is funny. Like why are you READING? ‘I wanna sit them down at the firepit’ The fuck lmaooo

-Mehdi was slightly annoying

-I see both sides of the Ella/Whitney argument. Like both of their characters’ are being attacked and it feels like something deeper

-I don’t like how everyone is very black and white abt the situation. And I feel like ppl are turning on both abruptly. Anyway don’t talk about my sistas.

talking about each of rory's boyfriends

dean: ugh. ik EVERYONE says this, but s1 dean was just like soo perfect. too good to be true. he was cute, charming, and kind. i think he was a good 1st bf for rory. besides the fact that he freaking dumped her just because she wasnt ready to say "i love you back" and didnt respect her opinion on donna reed. and theres more. s4, took advantage of her and took away her virginity (im not fully blaming him, rory made me really mad too). like dude, he was MARRIED. poor lindsay didn't deserve being treated the way she was also. she just wanted to be with her husband. and then he based their (rory and dean) little relationship on sex. LIKE HUH?? when he was drunk the night before his wedding, he was saying how rory could fix the world, he loved her, and how she was so smart. what happened to that like what.. overall, i think he was great for a while until he wasn't. he also didn't have any character development at all. jess: in case you haven't seen any of my other posts, i am 100% team jess. i could write an essay about why he was the best bf, but i wont. and im not saying he was perfect at all. like ofc not, no one is! but the little things he did were just soo cute even when they weren't together. like buying rory's basket for $90! ughhh i love that episode sm. anyways, i love the fact that they were genuinely great friends before lovers. AND LETS TALK ABOUT SEASON 6. "wHy did you drop out of yAAleE?" iconic. okok so i absolutely adore that he was being totally honest with her. he was just real. like "rory, wtf are you doing?" he got her head back in the game. omg i saw this one post that was saying how when logan bought rory that birkin bag, she thought it was nice but didnt really know how to respond, but when jess gave her a copy of his book, she was really happy. because she has something special with him. ALSO did anyone else notice how jess was the only bf she didnt have sex with?? not really too important, but just wanted to say that. in AYITL, he gave rory the idea to write a book. i feel like he was always there for her. always. as a friend, bf, ex, and then friend again. through her ups and downs, he was there. fight me all you want, they shouldve been endgame. i was a upset when he got all angry when rory didn't want to have sex with him in another person's house. ik that he was moody or wtv but still. AND THE FACT THAT HE JUST LEFT WITHOUT TELLING RORY. im not saying he shouldve stayed (well i kinda am) but i was so mad that he just left her in the dark. also totally not necessary, but here are some of my fav quotes from him. "ernest only has lovely things to say about you", "i love you", "an innocent boy like me should not be raised in an atmosphere like this! i wanna be good, life's just not letting me", "i like this shirt. it brings out my eyes", "it feels like im with rory and youre not", "wanna push me in the lake?", "22.8 miles. do you YAHOO?" i have more in the dungeon logan: 2nd fave bf. he was meh. sometimes he was an absolute jerkk but i do like how he pushed her out of her comfort zone a bit. AND how he tried the whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing because he liked her so much. and personally, when jess went to visit rory in s6 ep8, i think he had a valid reason to be upset. like he literally pulled up to richard and emily's to see rory with a random dude going out. and the first thing she said to him was "when did you get back? i thought you were coming home tomorrow?" i mean i could totally see why he thought something was going on. (but he did overdo it a little. at first it was understandable but as the night went on, he was just being plain rude). on the other hand, he was kinda boring to me. i feel like he didnt really have much of a personality besides being rory's bf. BUT I HATE HATE HATEEEEE that he was hooking up with rory and ENGAGED TO ANOTHER WOMAN in AYITL. its like dean all over again smh. tbh im glad rory didnt end up with him. BUT HES HER BABY DADDY (im pretty sure) LIKE NOOOO anyways, these are just my opinions and feel free to disagree just dont bash me please <3

sorta related to what you said about people dismissing new comics, are there any new characters released in the past 5 years or so that you've genuinely enjoyed?

everyone i can think of is 5+ years but. if i had to pick one it'd definitely be duke thomas. i think he's added so much to batman comics as a whole. faira sar namora is a personal fav of mine and i miss her daily. kamala khan is another one i dont think anyone can deny the impact of.

uuuum some others: ami han, pearl pangan. i think most of the agents of atlas new characters r very neat but those 2 are my favs, somnus, runa, robbie reyes, jesse chambers uuuuhhhh there are a few others ive liked the look of but havent had the time to read anything for yet

jesse!!!!!! jesse is literally like. heart of fucking GOLD okay he cares SO MUCH!!!!!!! like it doesn't matter how much walt's fucked him over, the way jesse was so fucking genuinely happy when walt told him he was in remission!!!!!! the way when jesses thinks he loses the drugs and knows that walt will literally kill him, he doesn't lie, doesn't try to hide it, doesn't even pretend for even a second that it's anyone elses fault, he literally calls mr white straight away and is like i fucked up!!!!! i lost it!!!!! it's on me!!!!!!!!! and god. the way literally everyones just like. fucking abandons him and tells him to get his fucking life together but the second he reaches out and asks for help they're like. no. but he never fucking stops trying!!!!!!! this rewatch it ruining me i havn't even reached s3 yet

eddie: i mean. now that tommy's on the scene....... eddie/buck/tommy lets Go also i've read a eddie/buck/taylor and i was like omg i love it here?

happy 25 songs of paul f. days!

i've decided to make a new post for each day because having a massive 25 post rb chain seems like too much work <3

day 4: "healed your heart with a song" from the final off book (#52)

fun fact: i can actually recite most of this episode, which is one of my more embarrassing features as a person. this episode is one of the ones that genuinely got me through the pandemic! so, i love this entire episode, especially healed your heart with a song! this song takes a fucking village but pft’s “could i have a quick bridge” always makes me laugh. (i’ve also kept a bit after the song, because it makes me laugh every time i listen to it; jess' confusion is *chefs kiss*)

here's the fav bits!

"i don't wanna get into it. it was bad, though." "would you rather sing about it, would that make it easier?" "ah, sure." *pft wheeze* "here we go." *pft wheeze*

the pft laugh after "little boy"

"he never said anything" "shhhh"

"and then one day he killed everyone in the land... with a bomb" "jESUS"

"we didn't know he was upset" *pft wheeze laugh"

"could i have a quick bridge for a recap?"

"we healed your heart with a song!" "even though your son was a ✨teRroriSt✨"

"you know i was alone all of my life" "i don't!"

"it's implied that you used to be sad i guess?"

"i feel like we glossed over genocide"

"could i have another verse so i could make a point?" "oh i was gonna ask for another verse!"

"you'll let him do what?" "yeah we'll uh— uh— uh— uh?"

"oh he's not a child." "i'm sorry, what?" "people can have adult children."

"he didn't come out a 37-year-old, that would be weird."

"yeah well i was mad DAHD! you've never heard my voice before. dAHD."

"my dAHD didn't teach me how to talk; i had to learn in prison." *pft wheeze*

"j-j-j-jail?"

"i did my time. my bomb was like a song!" *pft wheeze*

"oh i'm in the union! i'm too busy to teach my kid to talk!" "oh, here we go with that again!" "....... what??" *pft wheeze*

Lukas

send me a MCSM character and i’ll list:

Favorite thing about them

Lukas is a pretty chill, kind and paitent dude! Despite Axel's constant needling remarks and disregards he dealt with it up until he couldn't take it anymore. He is fairly level headed under pressure and tries to find solutions. Over all Lukas is a pretty nice guy!

Until you cross him

Then he is a venomous little thing. My man really wanted to do Aiden like that and I am LIVING for that side of him.

Least favorite thing about them

Mainly regarding season 1 Lukas- how he never tried to call off Aiden and his crew. Naturally no one should take responsibility for someone else actions but the guy didn't so much as throw in a 'Not cool' or let the Blase Rods know their bullying wasn't right. Though I think he genuinely thought it was the team just razzing each other.

Favorite line

"I hope they dig a hole, put them in it, surround it with lava and-"

Again I am LIVING for this level of anger from the soft spoken lad

brOTP

Lukas x Petra! The duo had known each other for a long time. They SCREAM sibling dynamic and I am here for it when Petra has to lay into him like a sister scolding a little brother.

OTP

Lukas x Jesse no contest! There is incredible chemistry between the duo even if one picks the meaner options. Builder Rivals turned allies turned close friends after many many horrifying missions and adventures.

I do support brOTP with them as well but he is one of my fav people to ship with almost any Jesse.

nOTP

Nope! This bottom bitch is for everyone

Random headcanon

Whenever Lukas feels like he needs inspiration from his friends he will go to their town and shadow them for snippets in his book. He dreads ever having to go to Boomtown as it is a complete nightmare for someone who likes things to be in order as much as he does. It doesn't help that Axel specifically put out posters of him around the town with explicit instructions to egg, burn and mess with his hair in any shape way or form. Not because he doesn't want Lukas to visit - but because its funny.

Unpopular opinion

Need more angry Lukas in the world. Screw the lemons - GET MAD LUKAS

Song I associate with them
