the way shirley jackson wrote women’s inner lives so accurately that it’s still relatable and thus terrifying today what a legend
#gut punch after gut punch#whose hand was i holding#imagining all the lives inside the houses you pass on the road#yearning for relationships with other women#personal

barb literally died with a bloody hand... have we considered her for kas the bloody handed. a reanimated corpse came back wrong even though she has been a presence in the narrative this whole time. here this time to haunt nancy physically, to have vecna twist her words into saying this is what you did to me
#in which i talk abt things#bancy#barbara holland#barb holland#also thinking of the imagery of holding hands with someone whose hand is bleeding. hm

I love how you display creepy stuff. With uncanny expressions, body horror, and even setting. The ship the survivors on must be so chilly and old, you could hear footsteps from one end of the ship and night terrors of your neighbor. Properly delightful.
thank u I try very hard! I think horror is one of those things that are insanely hard to nail so I'm super duper glad
#Me when people feel dread from anything I do or say: do you prommy 🥺#Horror is so special to me. If I can do it justice I'm happy#not an art#The ship is cold and damp and out in the middle of nowhere where it's safest... no lights but the stars and moon sometimes#Maybe they need to occasionally black out all electronics to escape detection. And it's just pitch black.#Everyone bunks up with their roomies to wait ut out but the rooms dont have bathrooms or kitchens.#You need to go out so you wake u9 your roomie and you go out into the absolute pitch hand in hand#Maybe a glow stick between you something that can't be seen by other vessels.#A third pair of footsteps joins you. You dont see anything and you cant turn on the lights so you just hold tighter and keep moving.#Is the ship lurching or are you experiencing some sort of vertigo? Is the groaning and creaking just the framework?#Are you SURE whose hand is in yours?#To quote the haunting of hill house: god; god; whose hand was I holding?

Sometimes I feel that Barnaby and Wally have this friendship like big bro/Lil bro, and Howdy being Barnabys bf has to put up with a lot of Wallys shenanigans for Barnaby (doesn't mind cause he also adores Wally I'm a big bro way)
i view them (as a trio) Similarly! though a little to the Left cause i don't view Barnaby & Wally's relationship as big/lil bro. rn to me they're very close friends - borderline queerplatonic! like... Wally is Barnaby's special little guy, yk?
so in my mind, in this trio, Wally's not exactly a. uh. third wheel to Barnaby/Howdy i suppose? oh this is difficult to translate into words - he's part of the relationship without being Part of it if that makes any sense? like of course he's gonna be With them a lot. Barnaby's not gonna be like "ok go do something else so i can make doe eyes at Howdy". that's his Little Buddy. they're gonna Include him as much as possible, i'd imagine. and i doubt Wally would mind being around while they flirt chat. he'd probably love being Barnaby's "wingman"
#and since its canon that all of the neighbors like wally - howdy would probably be delighted to have him around!#who wouldn't want to hang with him??#honestly barnaby could probably show up to one of their dates w/ wally in tow#and howdy'd be like 'oh hi wally! joining us this evening? lets go then!'#honestly i view barnaby/howdy + wally similar to like#a married couple whose best friend lives with them#thats the best analogy i can think of atm#hes very involved in my mind. barnaby is extremely important to him yk?#i like to... muddy traditional relationships and Expected Dynamics#i find it interesting and a bit more real in a way?#like not every relationship - platonic or romantic - is gonna be clear cut or 'typical'#love & relationships are much more varied and nuanced than what is more often than not portrayed#plus idk it sorta rankles when i see platonic relationships sorta sidelined or viewed as something to be 'put up with' by the romantic side#theyre important! and platonic love is not Less than romantic love. its just... different. to the Left.#am i aromantic? i might be aromantic. maybe? idk. am i? hm. something for me to Not think about <3#rambles from the bog#laughingstock#insert meme here of the three of them holding hands#picturing sally introducing them like: this is howdy & this is howdy's boyfriend barnaby & this is barnaby's best friend wally#to be very clear here i do not ship wally with anyone in the Least. like At All. i have thought and pondered on this a lot#hes so aroacepilled in my mind....#and that only frees up space for him to get Funky with his relationships hell yeah you go little buddy#hes living my dream smh. in my head at least#the imaginings i have are Different from canon obviously#which is half the fun!#in canon i hope things get messy as hell. i hope it hurts me as well as the characters#i hope the dynamics i have in my head get dashed against the rocks and then decimated by ocean waves#i hope i can look back upon these posts and cackle evilly at my past self's naivety#future me i just Know you're having a delightfully painful time. enjoy <3 ill catch up eventually <3

I want season 3 to be two separate plots, one is the crew having their action adventure, and the other is just stede and ed figuring out how to run the inn sitcom style (bc jenkins said they would be horrible at it). The plots are completely unrelated until the very end when the bad guy ends up staying at the inn and the crew tracks him down and they all work together to take out the bad guy
#just scenes of the crew in life or death situations#then cut to stede and ed bickering over the best way to fold towels#the crew escaping from the english#cut to ed and stede having trouble with an obnoxious customer#the crew after a successful raid: i wonder what stede and ed are up to#cut to ed and stede arguing about whose turn it was to clean one of the rooms#ed and stede holding hands peacefully watching the sunset: i wonder what the crew is up to#cut to the crew in an intense battle with lots of screaming#i just want a sitcom about blackbonnet being so bad at running an inn but slowly learning and getting better#ofmd#ofmd s2#our flag means death#blackbonnet#gentlebeard#ofmd s2 spoilers

but i gave you all
#i like setting myself arbitrary complications when vidding. this one's Hands :)#no coincidence that this means mostly also Guns and Blood and then a little bit of the Tenderness#which means that in being about hands and whose are clean and whose aren't it is also about guilt and blame#tatort stuttgart#wails. screams. throws things. boys give each other a HUG usually people do that BEFORE getting more or less married you know#also i'm a huuuge fan of that one shot from hart an der grenze where thorsten's holding sara and sebastian points his gun from out of frame#so that it covers thorsten's face#what an ANGLE. what a STATEMENT

Did a second run of Shadows over Loathing because I wanted to do an evil run. I had far too much fun with this guy and I am perhaps even more attached to him than Cecil because sometimes you need a guy who loves being fucked up.
He's not even evil, really, because that would imply he cares about what he's doing.
Bonus picture that's a vital contribution to their dynamic:
#shadows over loathing#sol#rpg#original character#recall draws#my ocs#fandom posting#he might be one i actually port into a normie oc if i find a place to put him. will prolly make at least an fr dragon#hes just funny. he looks and holds himself like hes gonna be this very stern serious smart guy#and then u watch him go about his day and he keeps sticking his hands into pockets of space#and eating the things he takes out. of the space.#even when hes been told not to#bc telling him not to do something is a surefire way to see that he does it#not out of malice just bc he'll simply go ok well now i wanna Know though#hes ur typical horror protag whose curiosity leads him to madness but hes having a good time actually hes not horrified at all#hes just like well that was interesting. anyways im going fishing#im thinking of doing a third run as well with a pig skinner lady thats a No shadow taint run like 100% good run

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.
#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors#infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like#he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in#black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression#but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience#plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns#Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me#like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions#he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self#righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand#saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault#but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up#I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me#you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his#head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead#to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home#like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol#also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate#when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man#it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through#these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted#fallout#fallout new vegas#Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant#I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished#ulysses fnv#fnv ulysses#lonesome road

I've mentioned before that S.hi Q.ingxuan has codependent tendencies and usually said so in a light-hearted "haha yeah watch out she'll latch onto your muse like a leech" manner but it really is a major problem that sets her up for nothing but failure.
Everything she does, from the way she dresses to the way she handles her responsibilities, cries "look at me, look at me!" Some of it has to do with vanity and having been spoiled by her ge's attention, yes; she's pretty, she's kind, she's the lady wind master, so why shouldn't she be admired and adored? A good majority of it is just naturally how she is; even when keeping face, she's never once thought to hide the heart she so openly wears on her sleeve. If it were just those two facets of her personality, it wouldn't be so debilitating. But it's not. She does not know how to exist without being seen. It's not a lack of confidence in who she is as a person (she knows who she is- she thinks she knows -and she's so very confident in who she believes herself to be). But that confidence has a foundation based in there always being a hand to hold, always a back to hide behind, always a pair of arms to catch her when she falls, and if there's just one thing she knows how to do it's to be a persistent presence. Everyone needs someone else around, so it all works out quite nicely, doesn't it? She has no reason to believe otherwise.
#▌ ◈ shi qingxuan ; ⌜ study ⌟#man. man... goes from crying look at me look at me to crying don't look please don't look at me ever again#i think i have more to add.. i definitely do actually but brain spaghetti.#i'm 100% serious too it's a massive problem in canon AND in my other verses#all i got.. hough... i may be reading too far between the lines (i definitely am) but sqx has SO many attachment issues#it can be comedic at times but rlly it's just. sad. it's REALLY really sad.#i think alllll the time ab how sqx started passing those tests way too late#it's my strongest piece of evidence tbh#still largely reliant on 'ming yi' and xie lian's moral support but she FINALLY stands up to swd MULTIPLE times. BUT TOO LATE!#(i say this also knowing there's a lot to unpack with the shi sibling dynamic)#GIRL LET GO OF THE HAND YOU'RE HOLDING. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHOSE IT IS! (metaphorically speaking. ish.)#shi qingxuan my beloved. u are so doomed i love you so fawking much.
