The ages in this show!! I have made some jokes about this before, but it gets me - with aging Ciri up and bringing her closer to Jaskiers age when they meet I can not help but draw parallels. Like Geralt bonded way differently with both of them (which makes sense because Ciri has been his Child surprise since birth and Jaskier just randomly turned up one day and followed him like a puppy) but it's so funny to me. also I'm 100% sure Jaskier was horny as fuck from the beginning so there was a whole different vibe from the get go

#the witcher #the witcher netflix #jaskier #geraskier #geralt of rivia #yennefer of vengerberg #I wanted to draw Geralt being maximum tired by remembering that #and also #ALSO #one thing I still don't forgive them from S2! (or like one of many many things #it wasn't just Yennefer who changed Geralt #it was 100% Jaskier first #if Geralt had been in the 'butcher' mindset of 'I need nobody' when meeting Ciri #if he hadn't met Jaskier before and had been friends with him for TWENTY FUCKIN YEARS #if Jaskier hadn't worn him down a bit - make him less guarded and more open #Geralt meeting Ciri would not have gone as well as it did #It's my firm believe that Jaskier is Geralts first deep relationship outside of his brothers were he truly bonds and learns to trust again #you can take that from my cold dead hands #and not because Geralt is a loner who doesn't talk to people - we see he has a lot acquaintances #but nothing is ever permanent there #no one who stays #I want to draw something funny but in my mind!!#I want a fic were Ciri and Jaskier talk about this and Geralt acknowledges that too #also a fun version #ciri and jaskier shenanigans

welp, it's just as i predicted

#SIAF 2022 is really going to be the last hurrah of Slovak MiG-29AS #like it'll sounds stupid but i'm legit sad #it's sad to see those planes go #like the govt pledged to give them away to ukraine to fight the russians #it's just a fighter jet and i shouldn't be sad about it #but i am #those migs are my fav planes #and i'm really bummed to see them go #i'm low key hoping there will be an impromptu ceremony or something #like a change of guard #we should have F-16s by the end of 2024 and until then the czechs and hungarians will cover the absence of the migs #Expect mig photos from SIAF

Leaving people behind. - c3e10 / c3e59

#critical role #bells hells #c3e10 #c3e59 #critical role gifs #critteredit #c3 #c3 spoilers #ashton greymoore #the nobodies #cr spoilers #listen #I love ashton sm #his character growth has been so linear #and they're so consistent? like they have not changed very much #they still choose the people they care about and are completely ride or die #but they've learned now that they deserve the same loyalty they give #and he knows that these people would go after him just like he would for all of them #and they've just gotten softer #and I don't know if that's because they personally are changing or that they're finally able to let down their guard #probably some combination of the two #but they love the people they love so hard #and even now they're supporting and protecting laudna and telling her what she needs to hear and remember right now #that they're going to get their people back no matter fucking what because dammit they're never going to fucking leave anyone behind #cuz he knows how that feels and he cares too much about these people to let any of them feel it #anyway I've said it before and I'll say it again #but I feel totally normal emotions about this punk rock

So uh. How about that time skip huh. (Corvus composing and performing the best track in the show was so hot of him btw if you care)

#sorvus #I need Corvus backstory now you can’t just play cello on screen like that and not tell me your life story #dragon prince #the dragon prince #does he KNOW he played the best track in the show over one of the most incredible moments of the show??. I don’t think he knows #Soren writes poetry about him btw #and takes him to see that fucking hollow tree he talked about in Changing Of The Guard #go read it if u haven’t I’m literally insane #Yknow that feeling when it means a lot. to ezran.#to the king. mhm.#soren tdp #Corvus tdp #the dragon prince soren #the dragon prince Corvus

(I'm a security guard.)

#There is an overwhelming number of traumatized people who work in security #So many of us have histories of abuse #Or other things #And I wonder so often #I'm good at my job #But am I attracted to power?#I like helping people #I don't like hurting people #Or picking on anyone #But it's hard to know what the right answers are sometimes #Part of my job is working with police #Even if I disagree with them #I tell myself it's better that I'm the guard here #And not someone malicious #Or cruel #But how much am I really changing?#And am I using my power correctly #Or will I become the unreasonable authority that made me the scared person I am #Is it already too late?#What if the calls I'm unsure of are the warning signs #Maybe I'm already too late #Maybe my sense of morality and justice is eroding #To fit the hole I've placed myself in #Maybe I'm not chipping at the walls fast enough #Maybe I'm being reshaped #Just being here #Maybe my conflict of conscience is the internal monologue of a sympathetic villain #Maybe I'm the bad guy

Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but

considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill

Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"

But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.

They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.

It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.

I don't know I just think it's particularly neat

#my ponderings #the old guard #I know we all love to play the 'if you could go back in time and kill One Person who would it be' game #but I think a movie that makes it EXTREMELY SATISFYING to see the Bad Guys die -#- having 'actually the best and greatest changes happen when people help each other' as its underlying message...#it means something #I also think it connects to Andy feeling like nothing she does changes anything at the start of the movie #for 80% of her life you could Solve A Problem by Taking Out The Guy Causing The Problem #especially in battle! you kill the general and you win. if you win the Problem Is Solved #but then everything becomes More Complex. the Problems™️ are globalized and/or systemic.#and Winning a Battle means just killing people. it doesn't Stop The Problem (nor really end a war)#so it feels useless #and even when they save people... they can’t stay in people's lives for long because immortality #which means they can never know what happens to the people they save #they don't (and can't) have the full picture

Getting fucked up over the animatronics at 3am

Like in the movie they wanna play and make forts dude

That’s what really gets me, the movie humanizing them with that scene, it fucks me up so bad. Like I wanna cry bc they really are just scared angry kids :(

#it’s doubly fucked up in the movie bc #williams manipulating them the whole time #and im p sure that he was making them attack abby mike and all the other security guards #with that sound that’d play over the speakers #ya know when their eyes would change color #I say p sure but I’m just positive of that #but ya know #not 100% stated as fact in the movie #but it’s like what the fuck they were just small kids they didn’t deserve this #fnaf #fnaf movie #fnaf movie spoilers

i love the contrast between ishmael and heathcliff's revenge plots because ishmael was willing to steer a boat into a whale of skyscraper proportions to tear that old lady limb from limb with her bare hands, whereas heathcliff was trying really hard to increase his credit score. ishmael is here not speaking of hubris. striking the sun if it insulted her. she is madness maddened. she is that wild madness only calm to comprehend herself. in the meantime, heathcliff has trodden on the bathtub mixed timeline moonshine landmine that cathy made in her basement

#limbus company #ishmael limbus company #heathcliff limbus company #i guess if you look at it from a certain angle it's also about revenge and toxic codependency on someone who irreversibly changed ur life #but the difference is SO funny to me #that said it's also like #interesting to see that ishmael coped with her situation by sort of unconsciously trying to emulate the person who was so much stronger #in that moment #to guard herself from further harm #while heathcliff has internalized a lifetime of abuse so hard that he's literally jumping the walls between dimensions to act it on himself #guards. put these people in therapy

atp i genuinely doooon’t care if the old guard two is the worst thing put to film i just want to see the best character of all time (andromache the scythian) and her loser henchmen and everyone’s favorite girl nile freeman again

#its not even funny anymore WHERE IS ANDY AND NORIKO!!!!!!!!!!! it was supposed to be the year of dyke drama 😞😞😞😞😞😞#like given the way they structured the first movie the second would have to be almost wholly original and differ a lot from the comic #like andy cant go thru the shit noriko puts her thru so im guessing the script would switch her out with nile getting tossed in the ocean #but that doesnt really work with norikos comic characterization (trying to get andy to see her point by making her go thru what noriko did #isnt something quynh will gaf about if andy isnt one of the immortals. andys become thr ‘vermin’ noriko hates!!!)#and given the end of the movie everyones chill with copley so joe and nickys whole subplot cant exist anymore…. idk maybe theyll switch out #copley with moose?? idc as long as we get their stupid car conversation tbh makes me laugh #honestly given the changes that would have to be made they probably just made a stupid movie and don’t want to release it. but I DONT CAREEE #its not exactly like the first one was that good i still mute it in preparation for every cringe needle drop like its a lame movie but its #genuineeeeee fun like i seriously do not care netflix give me my movie!!!#the old guard

The Dreaming castle || The Sandman season 1 || “I made this realm once, Lucienne. I will make it again.”

bonus: The ‘castle’ of cat Morpheus

#the sandman #sandmanedit #thesandmanedit #sandman #dream of the endless #morpheus #netflixedit #a dream of a thousand cats #i just like how the entrance is always guarded by the three winged creatures a dragon a griffin? and a pegas #and its the same in the animated episode #the design is so beautiful and since the first episode i saw all those details of all kind of cultures having places on the inside and #outside of the castle probably as a way to show its changing and influenced by other dreamers just as morpheus is by humanity #mine #gif:sandman
