….poncho gang? 

tumblr isn’t a social media it’s a farmers market and the people you follow are the vendors and your mutuals are regulars and sometimes a person I buy pumpkins from will start selling realistic models of sailboats and damn i’m not gonna buy any but I will come by and compliment you on your sailboats

I thought of a pun about this post and now I can't remember what it is but I swear it was a good one!!

shoutout to the guy who created a parody account of cinemasins where instead of pointing out every single flaw in a film, he just pointed out things he liked about the movie. you're so right cinemawins its so much more fun to like things

Went outside my fandom bubble and saw people being cancelled for shipping two characters who tried to kill each other once damn is this the limit nowadays

not writing, not not writing, but a secret third thing

Thinking about Lestat sending Louis gifts and apologizing for six years and then realizing “no, I pulled this guy by crashing his brother’s funeral I need to be a bitch” so he puts his side-chick’s voice on his love song. And it fucking WORKED.

not ignoring canon nor strictly adhering to it, but a secret third thing (taking the small bits and crumbs canon barely spent time developing and running absolutely hogwild)

two characters who understand each other like no one else does and therefore hurt each other like no one else can

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

"Not everything is about your blorbos" to you maybe. To me every other song and probably that car commercial is about them

i love him that’s why i need to see him tortured to within an inch of his life covered in his own blood and tears

The love triangle was so shit. Even Jenna Orgega agrees

the insane thing about the babytrapping storyline in iwtv is that neither louis nor lestat were actually trapping the other because neither of them really wanted to leave and the only one who ended up truly trapped was the baby herself

Did this before the serie came out and I'm glad It wasnt too far off lmao

Lestat meeting Lestat

Claudia meeting Claudia

Armand meeting Armand

.......

The stuff of nightmares....I love it!

Book vs Series

Just be clear, the "plotting murder" with Armand is a reference to his inclinations towards homicide in the books. I really like Rashid and I'm very interested in seeing how they adapt Armand's story in this version

one of my favorite things about andor is that people understand where the blame really goes — with the empire. we hear a little bit that the people of ferrix are mad at cassian, but in the end every single person he sees welcomes him back and says they're sorry about his mom. bix doesn't blame cassian. the younger inmates don't get mad at ulaf for not being to carry his weight in narkina 5. instead they help him. a lesser show would have made different choices. but in andor when people could blame each other they instead realize who the real enemy is and that's solidarity.

Disney listen to me this would bring in so much money like so much money you would literally be able to swim in it Scrooge McDuck style

disney is so weak for not making five minute comedic shorts about anakin and obi wan’s force ghost adventures while they had both ewan and hayden on the payroll

I didn't come on this site to be called out like that

anyone else??

Since I’ve started using a cane, I’ve noticed a lot of actors & cartoonists aren’t sure how to depict characters with them! Here’s a simple cheat sheet to help with the basics/standard use.

“we, as an audience, cannot be blind to the very real context of a black man being in an unbalanced relationship with a white man who is intentionally and utterly dismissive, as well as ignorant, of the struggles he faces racially, along with the additional pressures he carries as an out gay man in the early 20th century,” and “lestat is a deranged gothic fictional character, and therefore, cannot be expected to hold himself to the standards and moral conduct we, the viewers, possess,” are two statements that can and should coexist.

I have to think that not everyone in the magic community is fully aware of the prophecy of Albion, Arthur as the Once and Future King, etc., bc if they were, why tf they always trying to kill him??? I think the prophecy is so old and has been passed around so much it's like a game of telephone, so there's versions that are.......pretty far from the OG edition.

But Emrys, they know Emrys. They apparently have an ability to sense him, although that's hit or miss sometimes too. But not everyone knows about the other half of his coin, nor do they expect to ever see Arthur fucking Pendragon kicking it with a minor god of magic.

Imagine. You are a Druid. You live in Camelot. You have been caught by the knights. You are approached by none other than Arthur Pendragon. You fully expect to cross the veil.

And then.

He appears.

The man, the myth, the motherfucker himself.

Emrys.

Who walks right up to Arthur Fucking Pendragon. Calm as anything. Puts a hand on his arm. And tells him to let you go, you've done no harm.

And he does.

You have to leave Camelot, but you are allowed to live. And Emrys leaves with Arthur Pendragon.

You gotta imagine that these poor bastards are just left Shooketh™ like

louis is going down as one of the characters of all time btw. there's something about characters who are so deeply repressed in every facet of their lives continuously fighting for happiness, yet ultimately unable to achieve that happiness because they've denied themselves for so long that they no longer know what they actually want vs what they've convinced themselves to chase.

and it's fascinating, because that's so clear in the way that louis conceptualizes happiness by fighting for the things previously denied to him; the spectre of his perceived failures as a human haunt him and preclude the possibility at any new lease on happiness in the future. he wants to buy the fairplay because he links success with respect, and respect with fulfillment: the idea that as soon as his (white) peers are forced to admit he's a better businessman than them, he'll be happy. except he isn't happy, because there is no goal post at which point they'll accept he's smarter or more capable than them, and so instead he's forced back into a game that will never fulfill him, no matter how powerful or capable he becomes.

and then he tries to build a family, tries to surround himself with people who he can care for and who he can have a positive impact on, building connections for himself and bringing meaning to his life. which also doesn't work, because he's simultaneously haunting and haunted by his human family, and there's no way for him to reconcile what he's lost with what he's gained. he wants grace, and he could have grace, but he's spent his entire life knowing that every facet of himself is unacceptable to society, that he can't admit what he is without also being condemned for it. and it doesn't matter that grace isn't society, that grace would accept him - he is, to his own mind, an unacceptable thing. to admit what he is out loud could only lead to catastrophe, because to think anything less is dangerous to the very principles that allow him to exist.

and so instead of having grace in his life, he has claudia. and he can love claudia and he can adore claudia, but he can not find a connection to humanity in her, because she isn't and doesn't want to be human. he has, in his quest to find meaning and connection with humanity, surrounded himself with monsters.

and then he has lestat. lestat who, for all his grandiosity and hedonism and theatricality, is just as festering a pool of repression as louis is. he's a person who can be anyone, so long as anyone is someone who is seen and adored and wanted, because to be wanted is to be happy.

and so you have louis, a man who can't admit what he wants, because admittance is vulnerability, and vulnerability is death; and you have lestat, a man who needs to be wanted, because if you aren't wanted you're abandoned, and abandonment is a fate worse than death.

and then they both try to get happy.

People who are kind to droids and take care of them >>>>
