Freaks playing a visual novel: omg i know exactly which classical painting this reminds me off. It's me, I'm freaks. (Slay the Princess is SO GOOD i highly encourage people to play it. The THEMES.)

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.

evidence dump of the brain altering that rewatching atla for the first time as an adult has caused in the past few weeks

The inconsistencies within the succession title sequence (like the impossibly close ages, and being shot in film and not vhs when it’s supposedly the 80s) adds so much to the shows theme of the past- is the past real? Who constructs the past? How does our memory of the past affect us in the present?

Like the title sequence isn’t an authentic past, it’s a construction of the idea of what the Roy sibling past looked like, but we can never know the real past, even the people in it all rebuild it in there own way

We never actually see the past in succession, there are no flashbacks and any memory that is brought up is usually contradicted by someone else (think the dog pound), and yet this is a show that is very much about the past- or how the past affects us. We never see the abuse the Roy siblings suffered as children, or that Logan faced from his uncle in his own childhood but it is everywhere in the show

The Spider And Her Demons

YA Australian urban fantasy/horror

when she accidentally kills and eats a man in front of the most popular girl at school, they strike up a strange friendship and she starts to learn more about herself and the supernatural world

in my opinion, Yona of the Dawn is about love in its many forms; the love Yona has for her father and how that colors her perception of him as well as the world around her (familial), the love she has for Soowon and how she moves on from betrayal (crush), the love she has for Hak which provides a steady reassurance that encourages her to find herself (romantic), the love she has for the friends she makes throughout her journey and ‬how it gives her a reason to push forward even in the face of struggle (platonic), the love she has for not just the people of Kouka but humanity as a whole that inspires her to change so that she can be relied upon (community)

Pigsy + Heart & Family

Pigsy: "Those punks with their flash-frozen microwave junk! Convenience can never replace a traditional, home cooked family recipe!" [...]

Pigsy: "Ah, you two don't get it! I've poured my heart into this place! From the pots, to the utensils! Even my grandmother's antique windows!"

(2x04 Sweet N' Sour)

Pigsy: "I was gonna put it back! I- I just, you know, you're such an inspiration, and, and when I saw your book, I guess, well you know I guess, I just wanted to leave you with a parting gift. In exchange for the ring!" [. . .]

Chang'e: "Tonight, we have a very special guest, who is sharing with us a noodle recipe that is very close to his heart."

Pigsy: "Oh Tang! I'm so sorry I was about to cook you! Badly, oh so badly."

Pigsy: "Ohoho no no no no no, don't go comparing me to that demon. My names just plain ol' Pigsy." [...]

Mei: "I thought Monkey King was your dad!" MK: "He's not my dad! Pigsy's my dad!" Pigsy: "Uh, kid? I'm not exactly your uh..."

Pigsy: "No. No! Just cause we look a certain way, cause our monster ancestors were—well, monsters—none of that matters! I won't let his legacy define mine, and neither should you!"

Pigsy: "Look, if you're here to teach me some magic tricks or whatever, you can just forget about it alright." Subodhi: "Zhu Bajie was a stubborn one too!" Pigsy: "Oh! So you think we're the same just cause we're pigs huh, bet you think I'm just a disgusting little monster too."

Subodhi: "Zhu Bajie had his vices, however, like all the companions, he grew up. He struggled the most, but he worked hard! Not unlike yourself. Although he didn't start out this way, in time, he became a deeply caring and protective creature, and a powerful ally—one of the best in fact. The heart you have in abundance, the power, why you've barely scratched the surface of your potential! And that's saying something."

man I can't stop laughing, that anon is so funny like 😭😭😭 straight couple??? are they talking about the video you posted an hour ago? there's blood right at the beginning of it, hello????

"ah, 'whatlovelybones-if', a true believer they must be, spreading heterosexuality on this sinful website. I shall see more of their content. oh- oh Lord..."

if their definition of an ideal heterosexual couple is MC and their cannibalised RO, they’re not going to the pearly gates of heaven anytime soon either 💀

It's @shipwreckedcomedy's 10th anniversary and I had to draw something 🎂

Thank you for making me realize what my real aesthetic was and making me buy a big poster of Oscar Wilde that stares at me while I sleep ✨

[narwhalandchill]

oh my fucking god i feel. SO stupid rn at How i didnt make the (super sane very normal just absolutely. Yes. Surely) connection earlier but uhh

so anyway im now like 89% certain that whatever the "traces" of the narwhal that remain on ajax and facilitate their (ever-growing) innate connection are like. an actually fundamental aspect of it (them?) more or less.

why? because if you consider its pov just for a moment. the narwhal was literally about to depart teyvat for good. it had nearly finished consuming the primordial sea and preparing to breach surface to finish the job by eating the french for the leftovers their human bodies were made from. its an interstellar voyager it does not linger on planets it devours. it goes glug glug and it leaves.

and like if it wasnt for traveler intervening its confirmed through narzissenkreuz and renes world formula that teyvat wouldve just been destroyed. no one could have stopped the narwhal not neuvillette not focalors not anyone.

so what was the one other thing it did right before going for that french brunch? calling for ajax. getting them reunited in the primordial sea. like all the possible implications aside bc theres many different ways to speculate on the exact reasons why and the nature of that link. the point remains.

it wasnt leaving teyvat without finding him.

like the narwhal is about to fucking Dip from this cringe planet and whatever part of it that ajax carries within himself his narwhal Absolutely wanted to be reunited with. what the fuck am i supposed to read from that. hoyo???????!??! answers?!?!?!

and its not only the calling from the narwhal side itself either bc this is ALL coinciding with the growth of a 'restless power' within ajax and his vision malfunctioning (the things celestia is literally confirmed to harvest energy thru to repair its damaged authority) and his connection with the narwhal reaching an actual conscious level (arguably subconscious n emotional too bc i find it Curious his mood is poor right as the narwhal is repeatedly described as positively malding to the point its boss fight mechanic is literally a rage meter). ajax' power is growing. his destiny is starting to shift and something is drawing him to fontaine... right as the narwhal is getting close to finished with the primordial sea. funny how it overlaps eh. how it aligns 🤨🤨 why are they orbiting each other like this (they should kiss)

(& not to even Mention how ajax just Happened to get that absolutely exponential and borderline unbelievable feat of power spike in extending his foul legacy endurance as massively as he did. while. within the primordial sea. with his narwhal. who had at that point all but incorporated the power of that sea into itself. i s2g if childe was getting passive home turf co-op bonus exp with a 4x multiplier automatically the whole 40+ days 💀💀)

Sometimes being in love is like getting your eye gored in a fit of purifying violence, sometimes it's not
