i just had the most wonderful evening of my life. family dinners can actually be fun sometimes.

#I GOT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT TMA!!!!!!! WITH OTHER TMA FANS!!!! IN PERSON!!!!!#let me set the scene.#some of my family is coming over for dinner. we're not particularly close. i brace myself for the most awkward two hours of my life.#ten minutes in one of my cousins looks at me and says 'you like the magnus archives right?'#i do in fact like the magnus archives. some might say that i like it quite a lot.#we have a conversation about the magnus archives. it's fun. it's great.#at some point their roommate + my aunt join in. it's fun. i like talking about the magnus archives. my other cousin also joins in briefly.#i had never met another magnus archives fan offline. i have now met three.#we eat dinner. i recommend malevolent to my aunt. i eat a lot of really good bread.#i unbutton my cardigan at some point.#as they get ready to leave my cousin turns to me and asks 'is that a mechanisms shirt'#nobody has ever recognized my mechanisms shirt before.#turns out my cousin + their roommate are also mechs fans.#they leave. i am left with the knowledge that the next family gathering is going to be a lot less awkward.

MDZS x Brazil (1985)

(Yes. Real movie dialogue)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #MDZS AU #lan wangji #wei wuxian #Backstory to this is 'we recently watched Brazil (1985) and this scene make us lose our minds.'#Brazil (1985) is best described as 'The Monty Python Crew does an adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 (1949).' Because it is.#And let me just say. I think it is the perfect adaptation. Somehow this film manages to be one of the best dystopia satires out there #While also being a genuine critique of capitalism and burocracy.#Plus the practical effects and set design were outstanding.#The 'romance' in this movie was definitely also a satire.#It is unbelievably wacky. I'm dead serious when I say this comic is beat for beat something that happens in the film #Guy who told this women *nothing* about the peril she's in form the government tells her he (legally) killed her.#She responds by saying “Care for a little necrophilia?” with NO ROMANTIC LEAD UP.#THE MUSIC SWELLS. HE TEARS OFF HIS JACKET AND DIVES INTO THE BED. SCENE END.#Jill Leyton has incredible range as a hot butch and hot femme. Was the line bizarre? Yes. She can pull it off though.#We paused and watched it back a few times. I wasn't intending to make a crossover this obscure but honestly...#It's...it's too good of a fit to pass up. Wei Wuxian *would* say that...

Side A

#an awful lot of checking each other out going on in this show. that’s all I’m saying.#crystal thinking 'hmm. hit that??' @ every attractive person she sees never stops being funny #yeah girl go getem. let that guy have his situationship back there #kassius does the Niko-specific heart eyes SO well though #and Niko getting appreciated in this outfit makes me unreasonably happy. a field mouse!#also for some reason. this scene reminds me very strongly of laiqualaurelote's band au #was making the set when I realised. woah. same vibes.#dead boy detectives #dbda #crystal palace #niko sasaki #charles rowland #edwin payne #kassius nelson #yuyu kitamura #fuck tagging j&g this ain’t about them #my gifs #think I’m getting the hang of gifmaking?? only my second set and I’ve figured out a full workflow :D #bit addictive once you get started

Galeazzo and Lorenzo, checking out the Medici collection

Magnifico, Miles J. Unger

⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta / tip jar!

#taking lorenzo's face in my hands. let me layer your fucking hair #anyway if you're like me and you have the entirety of the borgias (showtime) burned into the back of your eyeballs #you may pick up on an extremely unintentional parallel happening in the framing wrt to galeazzo stopping to check out a statue #and a scene in the show were ascanio is checking out. one of the medici statues.#it was only halfway through inking this that i was like. hang on. why is this setting off bells in my head.#on the topic of the maria sforza brothers tho. i should draw galeazzo and ascanio hunting #italian renaissance tag #komiks tag #drawing tag #blah blah the insatiable sforza appetites but this is more like the medici temptations. mutual corruption??? ???? consumption #christ im tired. they should invent a body that doesnt get tired after doing two things

SENTINEL JUÉ

#wuwa #wuthering waves #wuwaedit #jue #sentinel jue #wuwa spoilers #wuthering waves spoilers #1.1 spoilers #m:gifs #m:*#really really really loved all of these shots of jue #this game makes it so hard to not want to gif everything their in-game models are really just SO gorgeous #even the non pre-rendered cutscenes (although these are affected by my graphics settings and mines basically at the lowest)#my only gripe is some of the animated cutscenes always have that gradient overlay for text on it #so it kinda discourages me from giffing it. like changli's fight scene. and my other camellya gifset #its just a pain to deal with afdjkalsdja #at least with dialogue scenes (like this one) they let you hide the overlay

youve heard of sex flowers get ready for the flower that makes you into a celestial shoujo herione complete with particle effects you cannot turn the fuck off and creates a wifebeam so powerful it can incapacitate and maim and keeps making you burst into tears and fall on your ass which makes the wifebeam More Powerful and you also cannot turn this off either. and is also still, sort of, a sex flower

from one of my favorite fanfictions, Celestial Afterglow by elanor_pam, a fic that defies description in the best possible way

#arts #shen qingqiu #svsss #listen im not saying that ive spent a cumulative half a year reading this fic and then trying to make an arts for it #and then getting frustrated and stopping because i couldn't figure out how to make sqq shimmery enough #but like. im not NOT saying that #this is the FOURTH time ive started something for this bitch it haunts my fucking dreams and yet the opalescent glittery sqq evades me #perhaps you o unlearned fool look at this and say hmm that's too many colour layers and glowy effects but oh how wrong you are #if it doesnt make you literally fall over yourself at how otherworldly and radiant he is then there is room for improvement yet #perhaps you look at this and you think Wow!!! this gives me literally NO ideas what this fic is about #well Let Me Tell You. i have no fucking idea how to summarize this fic #its not often the tags in a fic give me pause but i saw this and as i read the tags i was increasingly just like What #but i have no idea how to describe it. the tags arent NOT accurate but i was SO unprepared for what happened in like an extremely pos way #if i were tagging this i think i would give it the no archive warnings apply label if that matters to you #the author seemed they wanted to leaned towards over caution rather than risk missing anything re tags because This Is A Weird Fic #but oh my fucking god #i am gripping you by the shoulders i cannot stress enough how charming it is #brilliant characterization especially with airplane in the first scene #and also so much fucking funnier than i thought possible for the general setting summary tags and buildup #its just. ough. its good

I know the decision to have Julian's parents have him augmented was made on the fly but imo its pretty obvious from early on that Julian has Family Issues because he avoids talking about his family like the plague and I think they should've incorporated this into the Julian and Sisko dynamic right from early on because I think it would've made for some really compelling stories and moments and could've set up a REALLY interesting Julian and Jake dynamic which they kinda started to do but never fully went for

#star trek: ds9 #julian bashir #benjamin sisko #jake sisko #s1 Julian being so young and eager to prove himself and latching onto Sisko as this mentor figure to look up to #seeing Sisko with Jake and low-key seeking that fatherly figure connection which he won't even let himself think about #Sisko seeing this young brilliant doctor who's got all the makings to be something great and he's just GOTTA help him along #I think he would also catch on pretty quick that Julian's got Parental Issues #he tries to ask one day all casual like 'tell me about yourself :)' and Julian talks about nothing but Starfleet and med school #any attempts to ask about his family are met with awkward brief answers and redirections #and then theres the way Julian's eyes light up the first time Sisko invites him to watch a baseball game #like he Knows. he's a dad he Knows somethings up #but he doesnt pry #I also think it makes their dynamic more tragic towards the end of the series #where we have Sisko asking Julian to compromise his morals again and again #Julian's trust and respect for him gradually deteriorating #and then at the end of course Sisko is gone and they have no idea when he'll be back #which I think Julian would have a lot of complicated feelings about #but of course theres also Jake #I imagine they'd get closer #very brotherly dynamic #you know that scene in TNG where Wesley goes to Riker for girl advice and Riker and Guinan start flirting?#absolutely happens but with Jake asking Julian for girl advice and Julian wooing a girl at Quark's and Jake absolutely loses the plot #makes the events of ...Nor the Battle to the Strong more intense as well I think #also I like to think there'd be an episode where the B plot is Jake gets mad at Sisko and impulsively decides to move out #ends up at Julian's because he did not think this through #Julian is now very much caught in the middle of this family drama and he Fucking Hates It #also him and Jake are NOT compatible roommates but he's trying so so hard to be nice #eventually they have a talk and Julian cryptically hints at his own home life and tells Jake he's lucky he has a dad who cares so much #them being closer would work into what Alone Together sets up for them

You think I don't want to see you? I know you don't.

#jonathan byers #lonnie byers #i let the demons win #the look on joyce's face when jonathan asks to speak to lonnie alone is... a lot #like she knows. she knows that it will get BAD #because it has before #ouch #the lonnie-jonathan scenes are rich #after combing through them this time it's apparent that jonathan hates lonnie and lonnie deserves it #but jonathan doesn't want to hate lonnie. he wants his lies to be the truth. he wants his dad to care and actually help.#but he doesn't trust him and lonnie never authentically shows up #ahhhhhhhh #don't even get me started on the little dad triangle they set up for jonathan in season one with lonnie and hopper

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.
