SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson

[sun-marie]

LRB but I'm replaying BG3 and Gale being on the knife's edge of Wholesome/"Dirty" is what makes him soo interesting to me. Like this is a man who, in two different versions of the same scene, can either sweetly and gently make love to your tav in a typical setting which transitions to a tasteful fade-to-black, or brings your tav's spirit along for a transcendent experience where he literally duplicates part of himself so he can have more parts to touch their parts in some crazy astral-soup sky world. And both are treated like valid expressions of his love!! Like the range they allowed him to express, he's not one or the other, he's both

Commission for @that-ghost-pal who requested me to draw Dipper and Mabel from the "Transcendence AU" made by, you guessed it, @transcendence-au

This commission was super fun to make, and the concept behind the AU in itself is really cool.

Just two ordinary twins ready to take down cults with demon magic

This is so fucking funny to me. I don't think this is what Khalid had in mind at all.

So, we know that Asra, Nadia and Julian have their marks on the heart, forehead (third eye) and throat respectively. Those coincide with the position of some chakras... so I wondered: where would Lucio, Portia and Muriel have their marks? There are four chakras left: crown (transcendence, spiritual connection), solar plexus (will, confidence and self-esteem), sacral (emotions, pleasure, sexuality and creativity), and root (survival, security and stability).  Taking this into account, I'm pretty confident Lucio's chakra would be the sacral one, Portia's would be the solar plexus one, and Muriel the root one. So here you have my interpretation!

catch me looking up nightingale symbolisms for tales of the passerine. if danny's using the name of a songbird for a hero name, regardless of familial connections, i will utilize the symbolism tied to the bird. Anyways general gist of the nightingale symbolism i've seen, other than what wikipedia told me, is that nightingales were frequently symbolisms of spring renewal, loss/death, love, etc. catch me about to incorporate music into Danny's character

1. ANATOMY OF A KITCHEN (excerpt from THE THRILLING AND NOT AT ALL REPETITIVE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MAN AND KID DANGER: “A CHRONOLOGY OF ENTIRELY TRUE AND HEROIC EVENTS COINCIDING WITH THE END OF HISTORY”) [2] [3]

If you want to know a person, watch how they treat their servers, how they treat their food. Living with them is the second best option. Living with Ray is not Henry’s only option, but it is the best. They don’t even need to watch the other eat; they know each other already.

[ “There is a man in my house. There will always be a man in my house. I will find him even when he is not there. And one day, when I find out there is no man in my house anymore, well—I will go find one and invite him in.” Paraphrased and reappropriated from Catherine Lacey’s “Cut”. The borrowed text refers to the uncanny feeling Henry experiences as an adult reflecting on his childhood relationships. ]

Catherine Lacey writes in her short story “Cut”: “If you're raised with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house. You'll find him even when he is not there. And if one day you find that there is no angry man in your house—well, you will go find one and invite him in!” Peggy—a professor—reads this poem, which a female student has placed on her desk, and grapples with a response, to which she is advised, “It’s not your job to save anyone from their life or explain anything to them or even really teach them anything”.

PANEL NOTES

This follows the format of the catalyst stranger approaching the downtrodden protagonist in a dingy bar from behind, backlit by the hazy yellow lights and smoked out shadows. This is not a bar, but a kitchen—the center of any living space.

The borrowed text is tweaked, and excludes the descriptor “angry”, as the theme of the storyboards is not anger.

The use of red is limited and strategic, and scattered throughout like evidence; dusting for fingerprints. It’s tempting to drape Henry’s back in red against the blue background, as if bathed by an overhead lamp, but Ray is the anomaly. Henry is colored by an anxious, slightly melancholic blue (as well as shaky panel borders), while the flints of red signify danger (knock on wood) or non-literal symbolism.

The white wolf is curled around the blue in a protective gesture that also doubles as a stranglehold, snakelike.

Something, something, about wolves and lambs, consumption, and the simultaneous loss and retention of innocence through transformative processes. Note there are three lambs; these could stand either for Henry, Jasper, and Charlotte, or Henry (singular).

A while ago, I came up with a new word that I'd like to share with you:

Affinitophile

Affinitophile (noun): A person who is only capable of falling in love with someone who already loves them deeply, extends unwavering devotion, and regards them with exceptional care. An affinitophile thrives on mutual affection and intense, meaningful bonding and cannot develop any romantic, amorous, or physical attraction for someone who does not already possess a profound love for them.

Etymology: Affinity: Derived from Latin "affinitas," meaning a natural liking, attraction, or inherent connection. -phile: From Greek "philos," meaning loving or having a strong affinity for.

There have been a couple moments while watching one piece where there’s something almost like a fourth wall break, but not quite (see: punk hazard zosan moment with brook reacting) and it always makes me juuuuust a little suspicious… of what? I don’t know… just general suspicion

Conversation Segues That Could Kill a Lesser Man

My grandfather was explaining that he didn't "get much" out of short stories (this being part of a conversation about how he didn't like repetitive series like Danielle Steele but really enjoyed extremely long books with a lot of historical context--not history books, there still had to be a plot, like Isabel Allende--)

And my father turns to me and he's like, "This is sort of off topic I guess, but what is... 'Naruto'?"
