#i'm getting emotional again

[queenbananya]

I introduced a friend to buddy daddies who is just a casual watcher, doesn't ship, doesn't invest or over-analyze.

His take on the ending: queer platonic partners. Not in those words, because he wasn't familiar with the term (and loved it, after I explained). But what amazed me is that unlike us who over analyze everything, this guy didn't even notice Rei's awkwardness in the family photo, did not even remember the line about the drinking with women until I brought it up. Because to a casual watcher, that is hardly relevant.

He had some gripes about other things, plot wise, but as far as Kazurei is concerned, it was a happy ending, but forgettable.

Forgettable.

And that is the wonderful thing about it. Because their ending IS forgettable. It is NORMAL. They are just a normal family now. All they wanted in life! To be a normal fucking family where they are not fearing for their lives and can go to the beach and take family photos to hang on the fridge.

A forgettable ending, fuck. I love this for them.

TW! Cancer

Well, hello there!

Yes, I am alive. I am sorry that I just vanished - it wasn't planned.

It turned out that I truly had colon cancer. I won't talk around the bush - I got treatment and I am cancer free now (*knocks on wood*)!!

I took some time off to rest, move houses and get my life back together.

Today is the first time in a LONG time that I came on here and... I don't have words.

You guys gave me so, SO much love and I actually had to cry before writing this.

There are no words to express how happy your messages made me. Truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You made me realized how much I missed being on here. How much I missed writing in general.

And I'm SO back!

Again, thank you all so much for your patience and your kind words - you guys know who you are. <3

I have some very fun things planned out already (and I really want to give my profile a little makeover, hehe)!

(Also, I MISSED SO MUCH IKEPRI CONTENT. What do you mean we have Gilberts route already?? Hello??)

Love, Nova☁️

Why is “I miss you” so hard to say? I miss you when you go to work in the morning, I miss you when I go to the store to buy milk, I miss you when you have to run off to eat dinner, I miss you when we stop talking, I miss you when you leave.

I miss you no matter where you go or for how long. I miss you now and forever, I miss you I miss you I miss you. I wish I could talk to you forever, in my little digital device, but I will stand here and wait for you, because I know you’re always worth the wait

I really like that scene in mob psycho 100 where those random guys try to bully mob, but then, before mob can even do anything, dimple makes the guy disrobe and ritsu tries to kill him and the body improvement club just kinda circles up and squishes him between their pecs until the guys beg for mercy and leave. because it's a very stupid scene. kinda the epitome of the show's goofy weird slapstick humor. and so when you're watching it the first time you assume that's the purpose of the scene--to be dumb slapstick humor. because it succeeds at that, so it would be perfectly functional if that's all it was.

but THEN it turns out that it's actually setup for two episodes later when mogami traps him in a mind dimension to try and turn him evil and he's standing in the SAME PLACE and he sees ritsu on the bridge but ritsu doesn't acknowledge him. and he gets bullied. and not only is he powerless to defend himself, he has no one who cares. the scene plays out an evil mirrored version of itself where it's straightforward. it's harsh. it's empty. mob gets beaten up, and he is alone.

and that would've been a good scene on its own, too. but to me the fact that you see the silly ridiculous version of it FIRST (the one that culminates in the body improvement club suffocating a guy with their man boobs) is really important to me. because then, later, you feel how much more it hurts for mob to be alone when you've already seen what it could be, what it is. and then on a rewatch when you see the goofy version of the scene you can't help but feel an undercurrent of dread and a sense of how dangerously close the absurd is to tipping over into something way too real and visceral. which is a feeling that runs throughout the entire show.

anyway.

Hi Emily, I know ep 10 just came out so you’re probably busy, please do prioritise your own ideas, but I was wondering if you could make a veemark love languages gif set? I completely understand if you don’t want to do it, but I know that if you do you’ll do it beautifully!

omg anon look at what I started drafting ideas for on my phone yesterday, while waiting for episode 10 to drop 😂 I definitely want to make it and will do my best 🥰

if anyone has particular scenes they’d like to see in this set, send them my way 🌈💖 I still have about four scene-specific sets I want to do for episode 10, and then starting on this next.

Visual Language Things in Improbable Cause/The Die Is Cast that are driving me INSANE

the stuff they do with light and shadow in these episodes is just. someone went 'I know artists who use subtlety and they're all cowards' and they were so right for that

are you telling me... that this man is caught between light and dark in this moment and hasn't yet decided which side his soul is going to come down on in the end. hm. interesting. (especially cool that when the shadows of his face are lit up in the runabout at the end, that's when you see the damage underneath. he's partially made that choice and he's illuminated, but not by a comforting light yet, those are danger colours. odo and garak bonding on a day trip to hell; the episode)

I think this shot is ultimately my touchpoint for the visual language set up in this episode -- julian bashir standing there in 'wherever you have to go, come home to this afterwards' light as garak walks into the shadows (and towards tain). where does the light in his life come from currently? we may have a clue before us folks

(This one is literally just because his expression here makes my chest feel weird and aching. oof. I feel like this is one of the rare times he lets himself be really openly soft because he must know there's a decent chance he's not coming back)

aaaand what's the very first thing that greets him once he 'returns to the light' so to speak? :) little bit of a moral and emotional horror show in the middle there admittedly but thanks to odo he did come home and no one like. died or anything. well. many many people died but that honestly wasn't his fault or responsibility. we'll call it a victory

some really cool odo shots too in this ep. I love you constable this was so fucking extra for no reason

fun little detail: when the defiant starts shaking upon taking fire, Julian immediately puts his hand on Garak's shoulder -- the same way and on the same side as Garak did to Tain minutes before, when Odo had to fucking. knock him out to make him let go. (again: odo I love you. a direct and decisive thinker above all)

Thank you. I'm sorry.

RESIDENT EVIL 4 (2023)

You haven't changed a damn bit.

[tapakah0]

I'M SORRY I don't like to put something little mine with the great stories I love so much but *inhales* @somerandomdudelmao, @kathaynesart, are you okay with doing this???? *Puts you both in the "Bucket of suffering"*

Rough WIPs / doodles for DnD Qalaari ! We haven't started our campaign yet but I’m taking that time to try to figure out how she might look a little ! I’m not quite There™ yet in terms of showing how heavy and massive she is and feels (I really want her to feel like a draft horse... but with horns, because minotaur >:^) ) Her minotaur design is mainly based on 1) her Charr design from GW2 and 2) an animal called a takin ! They’re big & extremely cute goats that live around the Himalayas. I’m playing her as a Path of the Beast Barbarian - but she doesn't like raging so... it’ll be a tug of war between my and my DM to force me to use my full kit in fights >8^D Last picture is a little drawing of her and @ependasketchpad​ ‘s super cool tough lady, Tarja ! They’re taking a bit of a rest and down time so that Qalaa can engrave Tarja’s tusks 😊
