A character with the mentality, if I’m not dead I’m fine. They hold out under torture, go through extreme conditions like starvation and dehydration, and don’t shrink back from danger. Every time they feel themself getting scared they rebuke themself, sneering contemptuously at the fact that they would even think to act frail when they know better. Getting hurt is never a problem for them. It can’t ever be a problem for them because they have to.

Even if they do start to sniffle a little when they’re alone out in the cold, rocking while cradling a broken bone, knowing no one is coming to help them.

did brennan lee mulligan really just hard launch that him and Izzy have a kid now through a fucking bit of Lou and all the guests on the Fireside Chat rescuing him from the Panamanian jungle and he has a baby now in an audio format

burrows end ep1 is SO GOOD god im sorry but i really can't imagine the audacity of some ppl watching a 2 minute trailer for a season of Dimension 20 that hasn't come out yet and confidently saying "i know better than any of the experts involved in making it and i think they should've used a different system for this game"

like i can't even IMAGINE being aabria and logging on after the trailer for something i worked really hard on dropped and seeing a bunch of people being like 'ugh dnd was such a bad choice of system' when they had SEEN NONE OF THE SHOW??!!?! how would you know???

anyway, everything she does is literally perfect and SO immediately captivating. she is both generous and awe-inspiring in her command of the table and it is an honor to even get to watch her do what she does at all!!!! literally blessed with the presence of a ttrpg and storytelling goddess and some of y'all have the audacity to complain. couldn't be me though!

Dream hasn't seen Mary Poppins. of course he hasn't — he's been in a fishbowl for a hundred years, but by extension, he's got no clue about any of the classic disney movies either.

by ignoring his odd semi-omniscience, i'm choosing to believe matthew flutters over once in a while, they sit for a bit and the bird does awful recounts of every disney classic the Endless missed while Dream actually listens with interest.

Speaking of let’s talk about the Bear family some more

can I get a fist pump for solid fucking parenting from Papa bear and Mama bear?

like it’s so obvious multiple times that there are other things Papa bear might like to be doing (being in his chair, napping, hibernating, mostly loafing around which implies that the film might be set in the fall? OH MY GOD DFASFLDJFLSDKFJ DSLF MORE THEMING I’LL COME BACK TO THIS)

but he doesn’t because he wants more to be with his family and do the things his kids wanna do. Baby and Goldi wanna do crime? Shit, okay, let’s do crime cubs.

AND MAMA BEAR

oof. OOF. how loving and brave do you have to be as the adoptive parent after hearing that one of your baby’s “just right” doesn’t include you and instead of focusing on being hurt you choose to give that to them regardless

UGH Dreamworks does family so fucking well i’mma cry hang on

and Baby bear radiates pure sibling energy 

like “I can’t stand you but I’ll cry if you leave and I wanna fight you but if anyone else tries I’ll eat them”

10/10. No notes.

It's really crazy how people can't figure out how restrained Louis is by how clipped the narrative is. By how the space between him and Daniel grows smaller physically and emotionally. By how windows disappear from their scenes, replaced by art pieces about restraint. By how Armand gets closer and closer each episode. Until Daniel is quite literally under him.

okay, I’m going full red string over the last episode. mainly because if queen amangeaux (put some goddamn respect on her name) had a child with her husband, wouldn’t that have solved all her problems? Sure, it would make her a target but the bishop was already warning her to lay low at the festival, and at least this would’ve secured her place on the throne until her child came of age. Unless she knew she was pregnant and then she decided not to say anything in trying to follow the bishop’s advice? Or she didn’t know at the time and then everything popped off. But that makes the baby at least a year and 3/4 months (if we use human pregnancy as the timeline??) and the baby read more as a newborn to me? Also in the adventuring party when they discussed the bishop’s secret, Anjali pointed out that he could’ve been poisoning her or her husband with the tea leaves to stop her from producing an heir. which could be a red herring, or could mean that the baby belongs to someone other than her husband, hence why she’s hidden him away. which would make sense since the coloring is a little different. So either the baby isn’t hers biologically and is just in her care, she had an affair while her husband was still alive, the baby is the true heir, or she got pregnant in the two year time jump.

how the fuck am I losing my mind over a mango’s sex life how did I get here

TIME FLIES

[the-baby-storyteller]

Chin lifts.

From Whumper to make Whumpee feel vulnerable. Weak. Like property. To remind them of their place and just how servile and pliant they are under Whumper’s control. Forcing them to lift their head, stretching their neck to the point of pain, in a show of cruel sadism as a wicked smile spreads across their lips.

From Caretaker to soothe Whumpee. To make them meet their eyes when they refuse. To check for illness or harm. Or tears. Maybe they smile when Whumpee’s gaze reaches their own. Perhaps they frown at what they see. Regardless, an intimate moment is created as Whumpee stares up at them, seeing the intemt strong within their eyes and feeling the firm unyielding grip of their hand, both whispering: “I’ve got you.”

Whumpee, the one having their chin lifted, feeling all too exposed with the near manhandling. For a Whumpee who’s main defense mechanism is hiding, not being able to cover their highly expressive face is a terror. A Whumpee who refuses to meet Whumper’s gaze out of spite. A Whumpee who buries their head in Caretakers chest when ill to hide the flush of their face or seek comfort.

Lift their chin.

tristanne and raubahn never met as children, but what if…

Technology and modern society is great for a number of reasons, but side note, I miss storyteller being a role in a community of people. I think that was quite cool and wish it was still considered necessary and important.

Transcript:

Oscar: You can have a drink if you-… Courtney: It’s already hard enough, isn’t it? Oscar: That’s what she said.

Courtney: [snickers] I bet-.. I’m serious though, are you good? Oscar: Watching everyone make the most of an open bar n’ get wasted is super fun, of course; but I’m doing okay. Courtney: We could always-…

Oscar: What kinda wedding do you want-.. still fancy eloping in a forest somewhere? Courtney: I don’t know. After everything we’ve been through, maybe it’d be nice to celebrate together.. y’know? Besides, you haven’t even asked me properly yet!

Oscar: [gasps] Asking whilst drunk n’ puking my guts up doesn’t count?! Courtney: I was only fucking with you, but when you say it like that… Oscar: Well, I can’t exactly ask you here.

Courtney: Why not? Oscar: You know I live for your impulsiveness, but you can’t propose at someone else’s wedding without asking them. Courtney: So, let’s go somewhere else.

…

Oscar: I’m scared I’m gonna rip these pants. Courtney: That’d be terrible. Oscar: Hah-.. oof, okay.

[Courtney snorts, devolving into a fit of laughter] Oscar: Excuse me-… Courtney: Sorry, sorry! I didn’t expect you to actually get down on one knee.

Oscar: Psh.. you know I don’t have a ring, right? Courtney: I don’t want one. Oscar: I don’t have a plan either…

Courtney: [grins] Duh, spontaneity is our thing.

Oscar: I think your reckless abandon is one of my favourite things about you-.. your sense of humour, your creativity, messiness, positivity, obsession with complicated plant names; it’s all perfect. I’m amazed that you ever gave me the time of day. It meant everything to me back then, that you saw through my bullshit-.. it still does, and I’m sorry it wasn’t enough. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for the way things turned out, but I’d like to spend the rest of my days trying to make it up to you-.. making sure you’re happy.

Courtney: Awh.. you’re gonna make me cry. Oscar: Not doing so hot on the happy front so far, huh?

Courtney: [laughs thickly] I’m good, carry on. Oscar: You’ve felt like home to me from the moment I laid eyes on you, Cookie; I genuinely can’t imagine not marrying you… So, will you marry me?

Courtney: No. Oscar: [cackles] No?! For fuck’s sake! Courtney: I just wanted you to get all gooey-.. and rip your pants.

Oscar: Shame they’re still intact. Courtney: Mmh, I want another baby. Oscar: You’ve gotta say yes first.

Courtney: In what reality would I say no? Oscar: Aha, true.. but we definitely can’t make one here. Courtney: We definitely could.

[Oscar ponders for less than a millisecond before dropping Courtney from his knee, catching her by the small of her back] Courtney: Wh-.. ah! Oscar: [chuckles] You better keep it down.

Courtney: Pfft, no one’s gonna come round here. Oscar: No? Courtney: [giggles] Well…

Rewrite of a killjoys essay I did in 2022 for my junior year 🫶

Some little notes below the cut!

This is set in a world where the Fab Four faked their deaths after the events of Sing. This is why you see Ghoul, Jet, Poison, and Kobra mentioned! And ofc Jet talking haha

Ghost Bullet, Cyanide Candy, Black Heart, Glitter Baby, Acid Cat, and Lightning Storm are characters created by myself and my best friend tumblr user @frankierosbackbends!

Apologies if some paragraphs look weird! Opening a word document on your phone isn’t the best cause they definitely didn’t look like that on my laptop haha

If you read the entire thing, tysm! Like seriously, thank you so much 🫶
