#marlowe ramble

[marlomcmar]

listen, The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives has some awesome lyrics. The ones making the rounds now slay, the chorus is iconic.

BUT

We mustn't forget the third verse y'all.

"Name your courage now We could have had anything - anything else Instead you hoarded all that's left of me Swallowing your doubt LIKE SWORDS TO THE PIT OF MY BELLY I WANT TO FEEL THE FIRE THAT YOU KEPT FROM ME"

GUYS I'M SCREAMING, STOMPING MY FEET, FLAILING IN GENUINE PAIN

[honeyspotpie]

Normal and Scary honestly have one of my favorite dynamics in the entire series - be it romantic, platonic, querplatonic whatever!! They just can't escape my little head they're permanently trapped in there and I desperately need to yap about them more AUGH... Yes, all Normal ever sought was feelings pride from his family; but in a way what he really wanted was unconditional love. People who would love him and applaud him for simply being himself, doing his best and not needing to "mask" or hide his interests to receive approval. And Scary was one of the only people who ever did that. Who actually unconditionally loved him. Didn't use or manipulate him, or lie about true feelings to comfort him. Yes she occasionally teased him or made meaner remarks (especially early in the season) but by the end of the story the feelings of pride she feels towards Normal and his achievements were SO REAL AND PIERCING. SHE'S ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WAS GENUINELY WITH HER WHOLE HEART PROUD OF HIM. PROUD OF THE REAL NORMAL. PROUD OF THE STICKY, MESSY GLUE THAT HE IS. BECAUSE SHE KNOWS "HE'S ENOUGH JUST AS HE IS". AND THAT IN AND OF ITSELF MAKES ME SO ILL. COME ON.

All fictional detectives are on the spectrum. It's like a requirement at this point

[risetherivermoon]

forever sad we didnt get oakworthy being mushy gushy teenagers in love and the rest of the teens groaning everytime they flirt or compliment one another,

we deserved the second hand embarrassment of a cheesy highschool couple doing PDA in front of their friends

[overelias]

Scary saying “I don’t know why I can’t be her again” hits so fucking hard because god, why did she have to grow up so fast, to become this person who is so overwhelmed by fear and sadness and anger that she can’t be who she once was? The girl so full of joy and life and hope and love? Link says she is still that person, but that’s just not true — Scary is not and will never be that person again because she has fundamentally changed, and fuck do those growing pains ache. ESPECIALLY when you know that the person you once were is someone who everyone liked more.

The feeling of growing up, of experiencing so much of the unimaginable, of knowing that you can never go back to who you once were. It’s crippling, knowing that you were once so happy and easy-going and alive — that you had so much and you didn’t even know it — and knowing that you have lost that capacity forever, but not knowing why or when it happened and hating yourself because how could you let this happen? It’s the most painful part of growing up, and fuck, if Scary/Beth didn’t capture that in one fucking sentence.

[vulcanscholar]

you know when you choose your name when you, like, first transition, and now you're stuck with it (and you don't mind it) because it was yours for so long? that's scary marlowe to me. she doesn't care about being called terry in the epilogue, it's just much more convenient to still be scary

[the0o0o]

IM SORRY GRANT AND TERRY ARE GRANDPARENTS NOW??.!.!.??.?.??

[mintythyme]

I think the Oaks should be inhuman. I want some eldritch fucking hippies.

I want to see Normal keep practicing his cheers a little too long, stamina still up in the sky when everyone around him is exhausted, not even sweating, when he’s been going for hours without a break. I want to see Hero be shown to not blink, or to not breathe like humans should. I want to see Lark have such mastery over his weapons that they seem to be a part of him, and when you look too close, it doesn’t just seem like his weapons are a part of him. I want to see Sparrow be a little too still at times, when listening to something, or when paying attention, not making even the slightest of sounds, not even a heartbeat. I wanted to see Henry smell, not just badly, but like a burning pain that shouldn’t be familiar but is. I wanted to see Barry twist and move in ways he shouldn’t, cracking and popping a few too many times, comfortable in positions he shouldn’t even be able to achieve.

GIVE ME SOME NON HUMAN OAKS GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

[marlomcmar]

I know this is an ice cold take, but I get so sad when I play Fire Emblem. Because like, some of these characters have such an interesting story, so much of it is GOLD. 

Like, PLEASE tell me more about Camilla’s parentification and how it turned her into a helicopter sister, develop her paranoia surrounding Corrin, how the constant changes around her lead her to clinging to someone who literally couldn’t leave, how her connection to Corrin was most likely due to abuse and a lack of belonging, how her growing up without a mother drove her to become one for her siblings.

PLEASE elaborate on how Libra’s fervent faith was brought along by a neverending feeling of guilt, how he found peace within religion, how his past chases him. Tell us more about his devotion to Emmeryn, how his faith might have shaken upon seeing her plummet.

I BEG for more information on Peri, how her psychosis has been fed by being placed in a position where she must continue to feed her loodlust. For stories about Noire and how her trauma effects her beyond her DID. For the overwhelming fear and trauma Yarne has seeing history repeat itself, his mother dying, making him once again the last of the Taguel.

I feel like that’s the problem with the Fire Emblem formula, but also, in some way, it’s strength. They introduce these compelling ideas, but instead of leaving them open-ended and well shown, they just fall flat.

Great for the fanfic writers though.

[anna-neko]

Welcome to another episode of "let's cosplay an audio-only chara!" because sometimes the brainrot lies dormant for months and suddenly.... (goin to live show needed a new outfit)

Scary Marlowe - the Sophomore Slump album

details and whatnot rambling under cut

basic concept was easy enuff: make another t-shirt. "Shit Garden" needed a break, now its time for this

The font seemed basic enuff to copy out and then I'm sittin here like... how to...draw circles... a wholeass ball? (btw no printer access)

frellin BLESS Terry for pulling out his graphic design skills and making me a fantastic ball stencil! He even did a size readjust after my hasty tests the night before

.......anyway, the black shirt had for over a year. It was supposed to be for a Scorpion Slut logo, but scorpions are impossible to draw/cut-out at this detail (aka my lack of skill lvl)

So! because was terrified would fuck up, did a test run first. T'was most educational, seeing how much seeps out and heat needed frm blowing hot air vs ironing over

Kept peeling off bits, readjusting (negative space be dammed), running back to trace out a failed letter (hey kids, want easiest way to fake a light table? ANY backlight works. window, glow of the monitor...) and try again.... (did "O" so many times, its no longer real letter in my brain)**

**MOST OF THIS WAS HAPPENING IN FRIEND'S BATHROOM

Went OCD as fuck getting everything super blocked-out on the actual shirt once was ready to commit

This shirt wasn't painted, but bleached, and i wanted only the words/logo in and nothing else. Clearest outlines, no stencil far edge outlines, no bleed mess

Yes you can see a pin holding on the "hole" of a letter. When I say wanted crisp outlines, that wasn't a joke

of course - irony be dammed - after this part was done, went back and Very Carefully splattered lil bit with my brush. In a highly controlled way

Also the secondary loose concept is ...well.... the first shirt (Shit Garden) she angrily tore at to be punk and all, but this one.... this one was an old team souvenir... Thus soccer ball on both front and back

For this reason (slightly more 'treasured' if you will), the rips were far less chaotic. The hem is left intact, and the neck a careful trim to show she wasn't blindly goin at it with scissors. Ditto on sleeves

Still freehanding this, but folding stuff in half to at least pretend symmetry, ya know?

there's no "Butthole Ricochet" branding ... snuck in a lil Warlock symbol at sideseam instead

New skirt! It has stars!! ★★☆☆★★ she IS a rock star for her album dammit (and it goes on w/ the stars of the barbwire-and-stars long-sleeved shirt frm before)

Everything else (bracelets, fishnet armwarmers, skelenimal scrunchy, etc...) are frm previous incarnations. Tape-measure continues to live on the hip chain

No jar of horrors daddy magic memories, instead there's a funny lil resin charm Terry made (he also once again helped with safety pins AND contributed a few black and white new ones for the sleeves)

The thigh-highs no longer have purple stripes in them (no purple on this one whatsoever, byeeee Omega Patron poison)

Exact same style have used before with alternating sheer & solid stripes, but fully black! (@sockdreams out there continuing to miraculously have Always what am looking for!)

[risetherivermoon]

headcanon that all of the other teen's parents, (especially Grant) are very wary of Scary (#1 bad influence) being friends with their child, except for Rebecca. bc of how many times Scary successfully charmed her in s2, Normal's Mom just really likes her for no apparent reason
