please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring#bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency#okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like#fanfiction authors having to write dissertations#because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol#this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person#am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''

Why do I always have to do the first move? Why can't the others?

whats wrong with my dog bruh šš
#art#illustration#colored pencil#digitally edited quite a bit tho#black paper#horror#surrealism#unreality#this is what realistic quad fursuits make me feel like btw#no hate to ppl who make/wear/like them and theyre v impressive it just freaks me out#i think those kinds of fursuiters need to work in the film industry making practical effects for horror movies#like making a skinwalker or something similar#it looks like a dog at first glance but the way it moves isnt quite right and u realize its someone/something just mimicing a dog#animal uncanny valley to me

Chewing on a headcanon that Wade let Cable walk away... and he wasn't going to make the same mistake with Logan
#welcome to another installment of āWater tries to find in-universe logic for Josh Brolin not being in the birthday party sceneā#it's rotten work#they're all three such cagey people that if no one is brave enough to make the first move they just... won't#(do not perceive me)#maybe Nathan would have stayed if Wade had been brave enough to ask. Wade won't ever know#cablepool#poolverine#deadclaws#peanutbub#(I find myself oddly charmed by that last one)#deadpool & wolverine#deadpool wolverine#deadpool spoilers#deadpool 3#deadpool#wolverine#wade wilson#logan howlett#image description in alt#water logs#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool 2

MARELLA'S 13TH TUMBLR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION @scratchybeardsweetmouth requested: fran fine + red @pscentral event 38: costume appreciation
Her character is iconic. That style that I created was made to transcend the test of time. It wasn't created to be trendy. It is as wearable today as it is then. It's bold, it's bright, it makes a statement. It's sexy. I think the millennials just love it. They just love the look, and that you could wear it today. - Brenda Cooper, costume designer
#the nanny#thenannyedit#tvedit#costumeedit#marellas13thyearceleb#the moving stuff thingy yeah#usergif#dailyflicks#chewieblog#tvarchive#dailytvwomen#usersugar#tusersadie#useralf#singinprincess#usercats#usersoph1#userrobin#tuserheidi#usersar#tuserambs#swearphil#tusermira#fourteenthofaugust#usermibbles#usernoah#userarrow#carolook#userbunneis#my first time making a creative set for the nanny! this took me days akdjksdjskd fran fine the fashion icon that you are <3

house tour :)
bonus art, lossy versions of the first 2 gifs
#ask to tag#unreality#flash warning#art#gif#photomanipulation#ganbreeder#<- for the creatures in the first 2 gifs#horror#surrealism#liminal spaces#weirdcore#creatures#i ended up using the non-lossy versions bc they were better for the effect i wanted#+ i wanted the last one specifically to look like it was corrupting the camera kinda like radiation#but thought id still include the lossy versions cuz theyre neat#the third gif is based off a reoccuring thing from my dreams#some sort of bright white object usually a big orb or disk#that you cant look at directly bc its so bright. its like a welding arc#you can usually touch or move it#it doesnt turn red like that in the dream or glitch out the camera tho thats just for the spooky#well the glitchyness is more bc the non-lossy version compressed the gif badly#so i figured id just play into the compression effect and make it fit the mood better#honestly turned out much cooler. limitations in art etc etc

What fucks me up about I Can't Help But Wonder is that Odysseus, the man who has had the longest 20 years in known history, took one look at his grown up son and still said "how time has flown". Like. That just strikes me as such a PARENT thing to say, you know?
#like he was there with his son in his thoughts the whole time#he must've had thoughts like 'Telemachus must've taken his first steps by now' all the time for 20 years#'Telemachus can probably read by now'#'Telemachus has to shave now'#and that must've dragged on and on in his head all the time he was away#making his journey even longer emotionally#and then he finally gets to see his son again#a young man#and he's like whoa#time really moved quickly#and there's just something about that that's both heartbreaking and strangely... soothing#if that makes sense#anyway#epic the musical#epic the ithaca saga

you always land on all fours
#umineko#umineko spoilers#ikuko hachijo#ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long#now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more#overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way#like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism#the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery#^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend#(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of#to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers#and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's#entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in#featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is#putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine#not only because im very firmly in the camp of āfeatherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her tooā but also very much b/c#i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case#with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her#insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite#to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the#ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry#her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part#like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very#similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime#which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person#hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

Misunderstanding AU!
SJ, injured, sitting in the water prison: So let this one get this strait. You are seeking REVENGE on this one?
Lbh: you pushed me into the abyss!
SJ: What I did was accept your pitiful attempts of courting my son!
Lbh: wut.
SJ: I throw you into a challenge. Unarmed, injured, without warning and while spewing the vilest things i could verbally throw into your face. I initiated an acceptance!
Lbh: WUT.
SJ: I went out of my way to abide to your peopleās customs and what do you do to my leniency to your feelings for my A-Yuan? You throw it into my face! You scheme against your master! You do not return, you show no fidelity and instead of challenging me to combat in front of the sec as you should have done you lick at the heels of Huan Hua Palace and leave Yuan-er to the advances of other men!
Lbh: WHAT??!!ā
SJ: This is what I get taking a chance on a man! If it werenāt my sonās love for you I wouldnātāve wasted the effort.
Lbh: He-He loves me!?
SJ: He did at least! he may have been blind but I have both of my eyes still. He was like a widow by your sword mound every day, refusing to eat. But you have been wasting time! Other suitors have been pounding at the secās gates and the less we talk about the members of the sec the better.
Lbh: ..I have fucked up. i have fucked up so bad!
SJ: YOU HAVE! I have assigned the assignments about demon traditions with reason! There were essays about courtships alone! And now my Yuaner is seeking comfort from a BRUTE!
#sj really used everything but words in this au#donāt get me wrong#shen qingqiu#was a piece of shit to#luo binghe#at first at least#then he came to the relization that the best option for#shen yuan#was the beast#so he slowly groomed lbh into becoming being like the best husband for his son#and when he realized lbhās heritage#he made sure that lbh knew his birthright and tradtions so yuan would be protected from all angles#tlg canāt take revenge on the sec through yuan without a half heavenly demon son in the way#too bad lbh was too traumatized to connect these dots#lqg is making accidental moves and doesnāt relize heās fucking up the longcon scheme sqq has had cooking for LITTERAL YEARS#liu qingge#youāre in danger#svsss#mamajiu#something something#Parallels#Qiu Jianluo#or something#shen jiu

But I still think of you
#dead boy detectives#my art#charles rowland#song inspo: Radical Face ā Ghost Towns#the fact that his parents are still alive and heās constantly checking up on them mess me up a bit#since the school covered up what happened to him they probably didnāt bother to find out either#in the comic he even said his father would probably be relieved heās dead#30 years and he's still making sure they're okay. seeing them happy and moving on without him#it's one of the first thing we learn about him in the show
