Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

#I was curious so I looked it up 1038 fics on ao3 tagged Taylor Swift and f/f #like I’m not necessarily encouraging people to go out and write rpf #but it’s wild that arguably the biggest musical artist right now who has a huge community speculating about her sexuality has so little fic #like this isn’t a good or bad thing I just think it’s interesting #idk I’m not actually a swiftie like that #like I listen to her music and keep up generally with what she’s doing but I’m not really in the fandom #so there might be something I’m missing

Dc x Dp Prompt #6

“I’m a twin”, Damian said one night. He could feel the narrowed eyes of his family drilling holes on his back in disbelief. Not that he could blame them. Damian had never so much as implied being raised with a companion, much less a sibling.

“I had a brother”. Damian paused to recollect himself. He had not said his brother’s name out loud in over 8 years.

“His name was… Danyal”. Damian hated the way his voice wavered, but he could not help it. Danyal was everything to him, his other half. Their heart beat as one and when one heart stopped beating, the other one died with it. At least until his family put his heart on metaphorical life support without ever realizing.

“Where is he now?” His father asked, voice filled with knowing grief and a hint of betrayal. It had in fact been 6 years since Damian first showed up on his doorstep.

“Up there”. All eyes shifted towards the specific star he was pointing to. “Right before he died, he promised me he’d guide me from the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not visible in Gotham, so my brother is unable to be of much help unless I leave the city.”

“Your brother is Polaris, the North Star?” Tim questioned warily, most likely in attempts to not offend him. Damian was aware of how stupid it sounded, but Danyal had promised, and his brother never broke his promises.

“Yes. Danyal is with the stars now, just as he always wanted”

Ghouls night out

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Scopophobia #Don't be mean Lan Wangji - the dead girl aesthetic is a curated one. Support women's rights to look dead!#I have been waiting for this scene for ages...the ghost girl entourage is such a good look for WWX.#And by gods does the audio drama actually do something interesting with one of them.#Namely that we actually get to see WWX talk with them and learn about who they were and what they left behind.#I love necromancer characters but it's way too common for them to be like “Go! Ghost no.145!” like they're a pokemon #and not...you know...someone who had a whole life that they left behind.#I love me a necromancer who has an awareness to whose soul/body they are using. It adds a lot of flavour!#MDZS is a little hit or miss with this. I think the fans do a lot of the work with making Mo Xuanyu a bigger character.#Yi City has this in spades. Even though we don't individually get character backstories #We get many painful reminders about how these 'corpses' were people.#We also get a few lines about how WWX used whatever corpses he could get his hands on (including grandparents - Woof!)#MDZS often (but not always) likes to remind us that every sacrifice and every ghost was a person.#It is so close to nailing the landing regarding the deconstruction of the necromancer character.#Anyhow. You may have noticed the uptick in quality in the last two comics. Rule of three means next one is going to be a treat B*)#See you all very soon!

me when i get the opportunity to think about speculative biology and non-existent game mechanics in media i like

⠀

#the candle creatures are revamps #i had created the idea for them years ago but i wanted to redo them slightly with new eyes #the “dark variants” of the mantas and birds are variants of them that have adapted for life in wasteland and the forests #and also #i like the idea of candle creatures that live in villages or within communities #that are sort of akin to strays that the whole community takes care of #means alot to me #this isnt everything ive been thinking about #ill make a couple diagrams about the large birds #yknow the ones from rhythm that we see once and never again. yeah.#they exist in my heart #anyway #skycotl #sky cotl #sky children of the light #sky #sky:cotl #sky: cotl #thatskygame #speculative biology #<- i guess?#im having fun ok #im happy to answer questions about my thoughts btw!#might be answered on my main if i cant muster a doodle or something #but i love answering asks #so if ur interested id love to hear thoughts :)

(tw unreality!)

ayo new theory just dropped and bad news! the implications are cosmically horrifying

in the bulletin from time baby in book of bill, he says bill is a “danger to narrativity”, and that he risks the fourth wall. this kept bothering me. why reference the fourth wall here? why have time baby reference it? yeah the heaven page and shit is a bit meta, but thats just how bill talks, right? Well i was a fool

when you put “seven eyes” into the lost files site, this warning pops up from the oracle question mark? from journal three:

the therapese at the bottom translates to “set coords for dimension: r34lity”.

and putting r34lity into the website gives us this image:

the text below it reads they found a new home. those are “real” fucking images. the henchmaniacs are in our “reality”. the cryptids page might not have been a goof goof bit- they were “real”. (“real” meaning our reality in the book of bill sense of it but still our reality. is that tracking.)

none of the rest of the cast actually references us as a specific audience, or the fandom, or acts like we know them at all. the cast addresses everything they write to a mystery “reader” who needs to be saved from the book’s influence.

meanwhile, in the book of bill:

because bill’s not talking to a mystery “reader” who’s reading this book.

bill fucking sees us.

bill sees reality. REALITY reality. like this earth the one with alex hirsch and gravity falls the show and tiktok and shit. book of bill is a book in our reality for us the reader. (ie. there’s a reference to “they both reached for the gun” if you put gun in the website, which would only make sense if bill was sentient in this “reality” right now.) and someone is trying to get here to hide from him. maybe they’re already here.

#for folks w/ grounding issues- this is a theory about a show and is not real! ‘our reality’ is a narrative device #meant to represent the concept of bill showing up in our reality. but it’s not actually tied to reality!!#this sounds cooler in my head than i think it is #and lowkey this may be obvious to anyone w a brain but idk. something about it yall #idk alex keeps hinting to some Big Thing about book of bill we haven’t found out yet. is this? is???#so much of the meta implications of book of bill are so fascinating to me #book of bill #the book of bill #gravity falls #gravity falls theory #the book of bill theory #book of bill theory #bill cipher #shutupmac #alex hirsch #rats #lost files #this is not a website dot com #someone tell me this makes sense and is interesting to motivate me to make a book of bill video essay #unreality

Jesus imagine if we confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life the Taxonomy would be insane

#what would that field of study be called. Xenobiology?#edit im not rewriting all this but apparently xenobiology is already an existing term for something else so. thats stupid #wed have different kingdoms too beside animalia fungi and those others like whole new kingdoms!!#would we lump all et lifeforms into one kingdom despite them coming from different planets (kinda like the Carnivora thing. a bit)#just to come to the conclusion that thats stupid #Another edit i meant carnosauria. not carnivora #idk man its such an interesting concept to think about #what would the confirmation of et life mean for biology as a field of study #>1k

[Abandoned by the Lightners, his heart became cracked with hatred.]

Hitting a lil' too close to home?

#junie art post #ink sans #error sans #utmv #errorink #implied. but yea not the focus #this has been turning around in my mind for quite some time. im glad to finish it lmao idk if my ramblings make sense even.#so like listen. do you ever think about how similar the function of the utmv is to the dark worlds in deltarune.#in a meta narrative to fandom sense? idk the word #we are making exaggerated expanded worlds of the ordinary tools and entertainment of the real world and make it into something more #isnt that very very interesting?#and we explore every sort of possibility in that creation. both good and bad #and when all is said and done. every possibility found and the entertainment and secrets has all run out #we put it away. abandon and leave it behind #what is left? what happens to the world and characters we have created? can it sustain without us?#what of the ones left in the dark?#idk if yall saw me a few months ago but i reblogged comyet's old post of ink begging us not to leave him alone and to keep creating #yea that never left me #and seeing exactly THAT SCENARIO in deltarune made my brain iTCH #imagine an ink in King's position.... wait isnt that just underverse #mmmmmmm. darkner ink.....#also error is here too. not just for errorink or that i can't separate these two to save my life #but error is also one of the few people to be able to GET IT?? he can hear the creators too. ink cant #but hes pretty much programmed himself to avoid having a mental break down to this via reboot memory loss.#and ink has his own internal coping mechanism (hooray for short term memory loss)#these two idiots will do anything but confront truths lmfao #ahhh my favorite idiots. never change #mmmmm #deltarune

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.

#or just the moral dilemmas #rewatching amc interview is kind of making me insane #that moment in episode two when louis is looking for a sort of assurance in the fact that lestat may actually have some good in him #look at how he cares about music look at the simple wondrous things that can bring him joy #and then the immediate dread when the opera performance turns out to be imperfect because he knows how lestat will react to *that*#I think there’s also something really interesting in the highlighting of lestat upbraids the less skilled singer before killing him #(slowly)#but also I will wait to watch more before I articulate my thoughts #vampires #interview with the vampire #amc interview with the vampire #i ramble sometimes #I do still find the lestat and claudia film and novel dynamic by far the most compelling for how she tries to usurp him but almost to be him #but I’m enjoying this #I’m very curious if I will like show claudia more on rewatch #the movie always resonated most with me (sue me lol) because there seemed to be more simultaneous fondness and attachment even at the end

jared padalecki and jensen ackles spn dc con 2024 - main panel (youtube)

Q: In season 5 episode Dark Side of the Moon, Sam and Dean found out that they were soulmates and it was never really addressed after that, so what did they think when they found that out? Jared: I think they knew.

#j2 #dccon 2024 #jared padalecki #jensen ackles #dccon #supernatural #j2 cons #spn 5x16 #j2 gifs #sam and dean #j2gifs #mygifs #i didn't expect them to say they thought they already knew they were soulmates. that's so interesting #canonical soulmates #i think it's a very cool and unusual thing actually that a 00s cw show had canon platonic soulmates #framing a platonic relationship being at that level of love and devotion usually reserved for romantic relationships in media is v neat #and it's something that carried through the show until the end and also how j2 have talked about it during and after #it's not about shipping - it's just about what happened on the actual show. so yeah. i appreciated this answer #a win for platonic relationships everywhere <3 #i never would have anticipated that there would be debate over whether or not this was canonical #and i personally don't think there would have been a debate about it if not for the ship wars wanting it to not be a thing #the subtext that i think you can argue is that-as the show often does-it leans a little into that- but it's maybe also more than platonic #the horror is that their love even if it's socially unacceptable is the best thing about their lives something something

One of the things I like most about Kaos is how...different the characters are compared to how they're viewed in mythology. I've seen some people complain about it, but I'm pretty sure they were written this way 100% on purpose to hammer in the theme of defiance.

We're introduced to Dionysus being the wild child of the gods, but do you know what we barely see him with? WINE! ALCOHOL! DRUGS! NOTHING! He actually acts as a caretaker for Dennis for most of the show, and his motivation for doing everything is to take on MORE RESPONSIBILITY! And yet, responsibility and proving yourself doesn't seem like something the god of wild frenzy would give a fuck about.

Hera....the mother fucking queen of the gods...aka THE GODDESS OF WOMEN, MARRIAGE, AND FAMILY is having an affair (I know they all have affairs in mythology, but it's more about what's happening in the context of this show), and instead of jumping on the "we need to preserve the family" bandwagon with Zeus immediately, she's actively trying to get him to calm down and forget about the prophecy that will destroy the family! Not to mention, she's got an army of tongueless women who were willing to be separated from their families to serve her.

Hades, who is usually painted as an intimidating, stoic god of the dead who hates Zeus....is actually a tired, anxious middle management type who ends up rolling over for Zeus in the pool scene.

And don't get me started on Orpheus and Eurydice.

The only one who seems like his usual self is Zeus. He's still the same power hungry, malevolent, self-centered, king of the gods. And yet, the harder he tries to defy his prophecy, the more likely it is to come to fruition.

#kaos #kaos netflix #it's funny to me that this is something people complain about when I think it's an interesting take
