#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#I absolutely love the contrast between JGY and JGS in this scene.#While JGS is acting as an instagator and trying to fan the flames of discontent (pulling his devious (g) strings)#JGY tries to keep a fairly neutral stance. If anything he reads like someone who's attempting to chair an unruly group project.#Honestly I think this scene does so much to show us why JGY manages to become the respectable leader he does in the future.#He's actully good at leading discussions and doesn't rise to bait. He's trying to start a productive discussion with *real facts*.#There is genuine honour in his approach and he never jumps into the emotional bandwagon.#The issue at the moment is that he doesn't have same level of authority as the contrastively *worst* sect leader does.#Jin Guangshan has a very specific agenda - to gain power by throwing anyone he deems expendable into the gutter.#The story even explicitly calls him out on not being so different from Wen Rohan multiple times.#The insidious part is that he's surrounded by people who think this is all justified.#It's all about using the 'victim' narrative to leverage justification. Which I'll get into more in upcoming comics.#(cut off text in panel one is supposed to be 'dead girls walking' but I ran out of room to make that clear. whoops!)

some sam drakes :)
nate's theme 4.0 came up on my playlist while I was working on commissions and oh boy. that piano line about a minute in to it still gets me emotional shshdshs
#ANYWAY. sam's role as a sort of narrative ghost. fun! fascinating! devastating! someone play mikky ekko's who are you really#he's your brother he's a stranger he's all you had you & you have to relearn who he is--- i gotta lay down. jesus christ#uncharted#sam drake#GOD i fucking love the uncharted soundtracks. the strings! the chorus in the 4.0 theme!!! wind instruments!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aughghghgGHGH#LMAO i have such fond memories of this game. it's the only uncharted game ive personally played (ive always been Too Broke#to afford a console) (when the game came out my roommate at the time had a ps4 and my OTHER housemate had the game#and wasn't interested in playing it so I would play it at like 2am haha) (oh those were the days. the days when i could stay up late#like that and bounce back from it in the morning)

The lamb keeps a braid as a way to honor the death of those who couldn't make it. Usually they have time to braid it but they take long because they're bad at it. They've got a sermon in 5. Favours for favours. Ps: Narinder isn't hiding his eyes, not exactly. But he is hiding something.
#Nt4Waltzes au#narinder + the lamb: oh yeah no let me weave your red string just like mine that has no narrative meaning at all#narinder#narilamb#the lamb#doodle skadoodle#cotl#cult of the lamb#cotl fanart#cotl lamb#cotl narinder#narinder x lamb#bishop narinder#follower narinder#BOTH. BECAUSE HE HAS THE RANGE#cotl au#comic strip

and she's wearing down my rings taking the compliments meant for me and although i think i'll miss them at least there's proof of my existence a captive little soldier on her fingers deep behind enemy lines
#ultrakill#v1 ultrakill#v2 ultrakill#ultrakill fanart#v4v#y2r1#taking whats not yours - tv girl#obviously#this string of lyrics makes me think about how even when v2 is dead and erased from the narrative#at least theres still proof that she once existed even if its something that v1 has stolen from her#and as long as v1 is alive its gonna carry that proof with it#on the left side close to its heart if you will. keeping at least a memory of her alive#i hope you get what i mean im not good at putting my thoughts into words

it's interesting that eddie got a 12 on the grief assessment, but it was obvious during the fight that he was not okay. eddie has always been the king of repressing his feelings and keeping them hidden, and buck has always been the person eddie can be vulnerable with ('you don't have to pretend with me'). except this time eddie was pretending, and buck didn't see it. he didn't see eddie when he is normally the one who can break down the barrier. it shows how deep they were both in their own grief, but also the hurt they both felt. eddie wanted buck to see him. buck wanted eddie to need him. both were too deep in their own hurts to see what was right in front of them.
#the buckandeddie narrative string in this one was so incredibly well constructed#911 spoilers#911 abc#buddie

so are all brocedes girlies living vicariously through pierresteban right now or is that just me
#brocedes#lewis hamilton#nico rosberg#pierresteban#pierre gasly#brazil gp 2024#f1#formula 1#teammate rivalries go hard omfg#what was it esteban said today?#something about how he was thinking about pierre on the final lap and how they've etched their names TOGETHER into the history books#and then the commentator going#“from friends to rivals to teammates to frenchmen on the podium” or sm like that#like all of it is SCREAMING brocedes#everything but a lover core#everything AND a lover#something about the red string of fate connecting you all throughout your life#and you can't escape it no matter how much you try#doomed by the narrative#something about how pierre and esteban escaped it#just for a second#and tomorrow may be different but today is today

And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room is so quiet, ohhh
#back on my bullshit#and this photo set is coming to it’s end#maybe one or two more#blegh#it’s been fun stringing together a semi-coherent narrative around these two#I love them to pieces#elgar'nan#elgarnan#elgarook#dragon age veilguard#veilguard#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard

I think the thing about AI grifters who keep saying that generative AI will replace artists and be able to make movies and the like without paying real people that always gets me is that they always try to prove it with animation and never actually talk about what the plot is or how the story goes
#'look at this fifteen second clip and see how easy it is to make a movie!' ok what's the context of this in the narrative#why is this happening how did we get to this point#who are these characters and what are they trying to do#idk I just feel like it speaks to the landscape of how creatives are viewed#in that some seem to think movies are just two hours of flashy shit without anything to string it together#AI#gen ai#op back on her bullshit#anti ai

maybe DC really did just need 4 or 5 years of wheel-spinning after Didio got fired to pull themselves together. like apart from all the Tom King announcements, most everything else they've been announcing over the past couple of months has actually been good???
#dc comics#comics#it very clearly took them 2 full years to pull themselves out of the story hole Didio was stringing along#because Future State-Dark Crisis was obviously the holdovers and last vestiges of Didio's 5G initiative#and then imo everything from the past 2 years or so has been narrative wheel-spinning and 'throw it to the wall and see if it sticks'#while they try to pull themselves together and figure out where to go in the post-Didio era#but DC really has felt very put together over the past couple of months and it's super exciting

concept i'm conceptualizing is. the narrative of destiel as a jenga tower. and how many episodes you would have to yank out of it before it lost cohesion. i think if you were very careful with your picks you could get down to three episodes and still have something that is undeniably destiel
#etxt#i dont even think 15.18 has to be one of the three i think there are some very strong contenders to string out the narrative of destiel tha#aren't 15.18 and would be extremly convincing bracketed by two other choice picks

I am such a controversial storyline lover. Hen cheating? Shannon dying? Athena going ahead with arresting Dennis? Buck and Taylor dating? Buck and Maddie keeping their parents in their lives? Eddie pursuing Kim? Chris going to Texas? Buck and Tommy breaking up? all beloved to me. sorry I like when things are messy and complicated and people are fucked and situations are fucked and sometimes people are trying their best and sometimes people are not trying all that hard
#they might string me alive for this one but gerrard skating by w/o facing consequences has been a key component of his character since s2#yeah they took a lot of bite out him to mixed results but gerrard’s a cockroach i’m not mad at him getting the ending he got#it works narratively for me#the catharsis has always been the 118 coming together as a family not him getting punished#911 abc
