Bruce: We didn’t even have a proper wedding, we just went to the courthouse on a Tuesday.

Talia: The judge sentenced me to life with no chance of parole :)

Bruce: You begged me to marry you.

Talia: It’s true, I did

me when a character suffers at the hands of a system, so they become a teacher and parental figure in order to protect the next generation from experiencing the same horrors, but ultimately are unable to protect their kids from the inherent suffering of their chosen path

you will post something like "i like the colors blue and purple" and someone will tag it like "#this but also #i absolutely DO NOT condone harassment of people who enjoy orange" Like okay. neither do i. however my post appears to be about something else?

i was curious for no particular reason how many of my 112,782 posts (which, incidentally, comes out to about 21 posts per day on average) were actually original, so I checked and apparently it is 45,222 or 40% (this works out to 12 original posts per day, which is actually fewer than I thought).

so then I was curious how the data would change if I looked at more recent years when I've been using tumblr more heavily - or at least that was my expectation. what I actually learned was that my posting peaked in 2013 (5,766 posts, or almost 16 per day) and has been on a general decline since 2018. see:

the sharp drop from 2019 to 2020 is surprising to me given quarantine. so far this year I've been on an average of a mere 4 posts per day. (counting original posts only.)

this is interesting and fun for nobody except me but, as usual, i did it anyway

VARGASTOBER - day 9 : empty

" when have you cried , edgar ? when have you ever wanted to kill ? wanted to rip someone apart ? when have you curled into a ball and shivered ? you've never done those things . not that you can recall . you're an empty shell of a man , edgar . you feel nothing . you even felt nothing in the face of your impending death , and the entire purpose of life is to  avoid dying . "

now that the dust has settled a little i will say back when the tv show came out i did think it was pretty funny that i got some horrified asks about its tone vis a vis how cynical it was and i didn't reply them because i'm conscious about not like, accidentally or unintentionally singling people out, especially over something as silly as a tv show, but you gotta understand. this is a noir blog. i write noir. this is not a genre famed for its optimism. in dead woman walking new vegas is mentioned, once, and it's called 'nova roma' because the legion won. almost every named character is dead. i swing by just at the very end to do that with one sentence and dip, in the last chapter, after brutally killing a main character. like that's the tone i operate in. it's totally fine not to dig it but i was pulling my collar a little seeing people light up my inbox over the show's tone when it's considerably lighter than the stuff i make

Bad Buddy | Belong Together (Snippet)

“If I could love you back, I would”

Hello tumblr! It's been awhile!

I was revisiting old fanvids, both finished and unfinished projects, I made a couple years ago and found this gem. I've decided to upload this snippet for posterity's sake.

These fanvids brought me a lot of joy to create. Despite the loneliness and physical pain I was suffering post surgery, I am very fond of this point in my life. I was filled with a creative freedom that I rarely let myself express.

I'm sending a big, loving thank you to anyone who I connected with summer of 2022. To anyone reading this I hope you have a lovely year in store for you!

it makes me sad the way cis women are so terrified of and disgusted by their own body hair. and i'm not talking "i have to shave for sensory reasons" i mean i keep seeing videos of women using hair identifier spray on their faces and hands so they can shave the tiniest barely-there bits of peach fuzz that came free with their bodies. hair that serves a purpose and that purpose is cleanliness and protection. i mean when i was in elementary school girls who had barely hit puberty were talking about shaving their arms. i mean full-grown adult women who will have a breakdown if they see two days of stubble on their legs/crotch/ jaw/pits because god forbid you don't look like a perfect plastic barbie doll. god forbid your body that keeps you alive comes with hair that may not be soft and glossy and photogenic. some women are so afraid of having any hair apart from their head and eyebrows that they've uno reversed themselves into six different kinds of gender dysphoria that they can't recognize as such because they're convinced that this unnatural state of highly-groomed capital-informed beauty is how women have always been. you're so scared of looking "gross" or "ugly" or "mannish" that you can't even look at your body in the mirror and recognize what it is. sister you are an ape. why are you so determined to deny your nature.

You have that one scene, from a favorite show, that no matter how many times you see it it still gives you chills?

For me it’s the ending scene for Number Crunch, 1x10 of Person of Interest. To this day, over a decade later, almost 15 years even, and I can still remember watching it for the first time. My heart in my throat absolutely riveted to the tv. Edge of my seat with my Nana as our jaws are on the floor. And even after watching the rest of the series, watching this scene over and over it STILL grips me.

By that point it had already hooked me of course, by episode 4 or 5 I think for sure. But episode 10. I dunno, I think that was the point I knew I would love this series forever. And I’ll never forget the feeling.

Anyway. Was thinking about it out of no where. Might rewatch the first season.
