EVERY fantasy book EVERY scifi novel every starwars movie every post apocalyptic show. I ask, WTF??? The same same question EVERY time. Say it with me - WHERE’S THE FARMING?

#ursula k le guin is guiding me. hand on my shoulder.#approx 200 generations of agriculturist ancestors stand at the other shoulder and they are yelling #where does your food come from? who makes your clothes?#who repairs them?#how do you store these things? how do you preserve them?#What fuel do u use to cook how many people are you feeding?#look. too much of the art i consume comes from the imperial core/global north where most of us have to think about where our shit comes from #approximately none of the time #but if u are writing about an alternative world u HAVE to have these systems #i just watched the gay episode of TLOU and it was pretty good in that regard but in the early part the guy had chickens #excellent move good work #and then the chickens never reappeared?? nor the food garden? we only saw leisure activities? which sure u could have some time i guess.#but what the fuck were you feeding those chickens? did ur big metal fence keep foxes away too?#and then at the end [spoiler event] WITHOUT LIKE. REFERENCING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE ANIMALS?#YOU HAVE DEPENDENTS MY DUDE. YOU CAN'T JUST [SPOILER].#and how do those quarantine zones work? those walled citiess? we saw the land 10 miles to the east and it was wilderness?#and weirdest thing there was pasture? grazed pasture? but no animals on it? is this city land?#why weren't the fugitives avoiding it? why was it in the middle of forest?#or was it some other self sufficient person? in an underground bunker? who herded all their sheep in when they heard people coming?#which if u have ever worked with sheep. good luck doing that urgently.#me fein #agriculture

this is basically what happened, right?

(these guys are very lucky that everyone at NRC 1) has the combined intelligence of a sack of bricks, and 2) is easily distracted by shiny things.)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #stage in playful land #stage in playfulland #these two are SO sleazy and i am utterly delighted by them #can't wait to find out their tragic backstory in approximately 3-4 weeks!#fortunately i have like a month to figure out how the heck to draw their hair (spoiler: i will never figure it out)#also. god. i love it whenever leona accidentally reveals his Mom Side.#he doesn't care about any of this but he WILL be tagging along to make sure no one else gets into trouble #once again he has to be the Responsible Adult and he hates it. the whimsical hat weighs heavy upon his head.#anyway this is me so excuse me while i now talk about diasomnia for three hours #but lilia being all 'kids gotta have some adventure in their lives!' is hilarious #specifically because you know silver would NEVER.#100% silver not only never snuck out but he always went to bed on time AND brushed his teeth AND flossed even when nobody made him.#lilia: aww but you should be enjoying your youth! >:c #silver: i am. i enjoy being respectful and disciplined and honoring you as my father.#lilia:#lilia: maybe i'm TOO good at raising kids #you know i was going to say none of his kids would be involved in this but i actually think malleus definitely would #he would not see it as a moral quandry though. he would just be excited to be invited along.#(the only reason he isn't there is because he was busy admiring a termite-infested beam somewhere and yuu didn't get a chance to ask him)#i mean MAYBE if lilia as his single authority figure told him no then he would have some reservations #but lilia's the one who's screaming HELL YEAH LET'S SNEAK OUT AND DEFY AUTHORITY while dabbing so moot point there #sebek would never and he would rat on everyone else. unless malleus is going in which case he's already there.#and i guess if everyone else is going silver probably would too #but he'd. y'know. feel conflicted about it.

dance macabre

let us have this dance of macabre!

strums of lullaby accompany our steps

spectators of all kinds eagerly waiting in silence

people of all race, of all ages

humans and fae alike, mingling into one

isn't this what you always long for, my dearest?

rub away your tears, if you would

look above, my dear!

look how the ceilings crumbled,

forging a path upon the starry skies

under the sea of stars shall we waltz with grace

one step forward, two steps back

a tango everyone desires

now then, don your brightest smiles!

as we are the prima donna of this palace

knightly boots replacing glass slippers

briars and thorns, prettier than roses

mere infatuations and lust desist,

only loyalty alone shall exist

hush now, dear

do not loathe me amidst parada

cease your sadness at once

bury your soul deep within one’s eyes

never let those speckles of aurora

be tarnished by the mere sight of carcass

for I have bestowed you the honor

of taking my hand for this dance

moving in front ochos,

I whisper to you eternal happiness

a promise that’ll never go unkept

holier than the eternal slumber

oh, if only the crowd would cheer!

rather than rotting beneath our feet

but fret not, my dear

as we have a long night ahead of us!

i think what i like the most about luxu is the vagueness of his character

not in the MoM sense of "hehehoho you CANT figure out who tf I am or what i'm up to", but like. you can see firsthand the consequences of luxu's actions throughout the entire saga, but you will never really get to know luxu the same way we might know sora or riku or ansem the wise or xehanort whoever

you just cant do that anymore. the only thing we can do is gleam a sense of a personality through his actions. and that checks out, i CAN understand how this guy has gone body-hopping for centuries or whatever, never getting caught by any of the other reincarnating/semi-immortal for whatever reason/recurring characters because he's so vague

like. look at braig/xigbar. sure, this one has a very strong personality, it's easy to tell this mf apart from the rest of the organization because of the way he gestures and words things. but everything about him is a red fucking flag that makes everyone in the fandom go "!!!!!!" because he's so very clearly imitating MoM's mannerisms. or at the very least, unconsciously inherited them. and this is taking into account the fact that braig/xigbar is luxu's most RECENT identity. if you look at the one that came before braig/luxu (at least that we know of, for now, who fucking knows with the upcoming games) then you get bragi, whose personality seems to stand somewhere between back cover luxu and kh3 braig/xigbar. like he's a bastard, but he absolutely plays it way cooler than braig/xigbar ever did, there is a MUTED aspect to him (and we can't even get into brain bc missing link is not out yet)

and you CAN argue that this muted aspect is entirely because of luxu not wanting to blow his cover. you can fucking argue ANYTHING you want abt this silly fucker. THATS MY WHOLE POINT. THIS GUY CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SOLID INFO ABOUT WHO HE IS. AS A PERSON IN THIS UNIVERSE

luxu can be a perfect ship of theseus, the perfect tragic immortal, the universe's silliest clown, all three at the same time, something else entirely, everything all at once. and the fact that people have their own LUXUSONAS / DESIGNS FOR HIM only adds to this. bc the concept of luxu is only ONE thing, and that is to be MoM's eyes and nothing else. the rest? you can make tf up, fill in the blanks however you like, bc there's rlly nothing else

the master of masters rlly sent ALL SIX of his own disciples to be sacrificial lambs to win an argument and it's the funniest and saddest shit possible, bc it cost the foretellers their entire town, their unions, their friendship and their lives. and then for luxu, it cost his entire sense of self

#kingdom hearts #luxu #this entire post was brought to you by :#me. bc i love luxu #and im thinking about how fun this character can be cause #no one here can possibly imagine how luxu sees. ANYTHING. friendships. time. the concept of death. etc.#bc none of those things apply to him normally in any way. not anymore #to me it makes sense for luxu to end up being as a caricature or approximation of MoM #bc its all luxu has. its all luxu has clinged onto all this time #square enix give this guy to me. i want to make him so deranged #the fact that everything about his behaviour can be just as fake as it could be real #and we just. wont know

"the complete lack of sources between beowulf and gawain makes it difficult to ascertain" "some posit that there is a continuous tradition between" "i would like to assert that the prosody of gawain"

JUST TELL ME IF THERE ARE MORE OR LESS MATCHED CONSONANTS IN GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT THAN THERE ARE IN BEOWULF YOU PIECE OF SHIT

#WHO UP DOING A PROPER PHONETIC ANALYSIS OF MIDDLE ENGLISH AND OLD ENGLISH METER?? FUCKING NO ONE APPARENTLY #I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MY FUCKING SELF IN THIS EXTREMELY DATED STUDY AND TIME PERIOD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHHHHH #croidhe #linguistics #anyways.#everyone out here sucking the dick of the latin scribe who wrote beowulf down i'd just LIKE to KNOW what the APPROXIMATE RATIO.

NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU EALD ENGLISC #MOTHERFUCKERS COUNTING LINES AND SYLLABLES???#I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS.#edit: this is somewhat exaggerated to prove my point. if anyone was wondering. there isn't a complete lack of sources. there is always brut

now why am I so horribly anxious?

#mMMMMMMMMM there are a couple of possibilities and I like approximately none of them #I have two options. block it out by smoking and listening to music or block it out by doing dishes #con of smoking: might make me more anxious #con of dishes: dishes trigger me easily in this state #orrrr I could also sit here and rot on tiktok. or try to sneak in some bg3 time b4 my wife gets home.#choices choices.

i am learning so many egg related lessons this week and the only consistent one is that i need to use butter instead of oil to fry eggs

#i have received approximately seven different lessons on how to boil an egg #and none of them were quite the same #i am just going to follow my heart next time and boil the eggs the way i would pasta from a box

[person who knows exactly how romcoms end] and then what happened with Robert and Mark?????

(Guessing you meant Robert & Josh :D)

So Robert tells Josh his tale of woe, and the whole time Josh is looking increasingly torn between stunned and horrified. Robert (who’s lowkey oblivious and not always great at reading people) assumes this is because he’s Totally Winning and Josh is realizing Robert was absolutely right to say his week has been worse. He finishes the story and goes like ahha! See, what did I tell you? Now where’s my prize? And Josh just starts. Laughing. But like kind of uncontrollably. The flight attendants are looking over trying to figure out if they’ve been trained for this. Robert is torn between being offended and worrying that this man is having a legitimate mental breakdown.

Eventually Josh calms down enough to apologize and explains to Robert the reason he reacted like that is because his week was. The same. Like aside from minor details, almost beat for beat that same stuff went down. He walks Robert through the details of his breakup with Holly, and by the end both of them are laughing because seriously, how much more ridiculous can this whole situation get?

(Putting the rest under a read more because this got long oops lmao)

They still bicker for a little while over who had it worse (Robert: okay but it was On Our Anniversary for me. Josh: I was literally two seconds from getting on one knee. The ring was in my pocket. At least you weren’t planning to propose until later that night!) Eventually they decide to just buy each other a glass, and right as they’re finishing up - the plane lands.

They’re both surprised - it feels like the flight flew by (pun intended XD). Josh thanks Robert, because he was expecting the flight to be miserable and lonely but commiserating with Robert has actually made him feel a lot better. Robert says something cheeky like glad my suffering could be of some use, and Josh rolls his eyes because he’s already getting used to Robert just being Like This.

They get off the plane, and Josh almost asks Robert if he wants to grab a last drink at the airport bar - but his phone is getting flooded with all the messages from concerned relatives he missed when he was in the air, and he gets distracted. When he looks up, Robert is gone.

Josh goes home and doesn’t think anything of it. Robert was a pleasantly bizarre end to a terribly bizarre week, but they’re in New York now. What are the chances he’ll ever see him again?

As it turns out, very high. Suddenly Josh is running into Robert Everywhere. Their workplaces are collaborating on something and the two of them get assigned to work together. Josh goes for a walk and Robert happens to be at the same park. Both of them are clearly confused and astonished as to why this keeps happening, but every time it happens they talk for a little and maybe grab some coffee. After the work thing, they exchange numbers.

Thus begins the part of the movie where they bond - they go on walks and one night when they stay late at the office they order food and eat together. One of them has a late night emergency (maybe the fire alarm goes off at their apartment or they can’t stay there for whatever reason) and their Only Option is to stay with the other for a night.

They have a long conversation about what went down with their exes - more serious this time. Josh confides his fear that if he couldn’t make it work with Holly, he’ll never be able to make it work with anyone. Robert responds by saying that he knows he isn’t great with people - Elizabeth was the only person who ever seemed to understand and not just tolerate him, until - never mind. What, no it’s nothing, really, just ignore him.

Because I’m not a fan of stories that throw the ex-girlfriend under the bus for the sake of the queer romance, Holly and Elizabeth’s decisions are never framed as evil or cruel. The guys are genuinely understanding of why they ended things, and, at the end of the day they are glad they figured out the relationship wasn’t working before they got married. They’re hurt, yes, and probably a little angry at times, but the movie never villainizes the women for backing out of a relationship that was not going to make them happy, once they realized that’s where things were going. (Also in this story nothing happened between the exes and the Good Hallmark Guys until stuff was officially ended with Robert and Josh. Because this is MY ridiculously self-indulgent romcom and I do what I want.) At some point Holly comes back to NY to collect all her things and officially move out, and she and Josh have a heartfelt conversation about their relationship and the way neither of them were ever really honest with each other about the ways it wasn’t working. Holly apologizes again for hurting Josh, and Josh wishes her the best.

I don’t know how Robert and Josh actually end up getting together yet, but suffice it to say that (after a lot of bonding, getting over the exes, and slow burn pining) they do.

Tldr: they fall in love.

#bad hallmark guys AU #thanks for the ask!#I appreciated the excuse to ramble about these boys some more #I am going to write approximately none of this lmao #but it lives in my brain rent free now #it's been a long time since I wrote fluffy romance shenanigans and I forgot how fun it is!#ivy writes #ivy rambles #Hallmark hire me to make this a movie

mha aus have been uniquely frustrating to me lately because soooo much fucking mha stuff is alternate universes and split timelines in a world where people have Literal Fucking Superpowers. you couldnt just make up some fucking random to set up your story? you had to completely recontextualize Everything because... ??? genuinely i dont know. i dont hate aus, i think theyre fun, but shit, dude. everyone wants all for one to be deku's weirdly possessive distant father and for aizawa to adopt him and also he has a quirk from the start and his mom hates him and dies and bakugo is actually his best friend since birth and none of the villains are actually villains (except all for one who is sooo weird and evil but also a poor little meow meow) and some of them are vampires but they're in the middle ages and quirks don't exist and they're playing tennis and and and

(this is a basic search term only inhibited by a filter for "Alternate Universe", so we're all on the same page.)

doesnt this shit ever get exhausting... does anyone know what happens in the actual story anymore

#im aware the medieval stuff is based on the popularity contest art/ed. i dont care. its still dry as hell #none of them even have a giant axolotl anyways so its a massive fucking waste of time #that 72.6k number is approximately a fourth of all mha works on the site btw #and let me reiterate i dont hate aus im just... annoyed...#youve been given a sandbox in the playground and you cant find it in you to make a sand castle. sad

i feel like i have nothing to show for my identity besides the fandoms im in or the people im associated with and it makes me...sad.

#like im not that smart. im definitely not talented at anything. im not particularly funny or hot or emotionally present or good at advice #like im...nothing. so i have all these arrangements of interesrs i have that im like not an expert on #but have approximate knowledge of many things #but i feel so fucking stupid all the time because thats...all i am. no one else is just these stupid online identities #but online is all i have. i have no dreams anymore. i have no skills or places to pursue. im just #here. and when that delusion is shattered that none of this really matters this is all just trivial and easily discarded #by people with real lives and real intelligence and real skills im just....reminded im made up of painted straw and sticks #and nothing about me means anything really. im so dumb and annoying and not a good friend #i wish i was anything. anyone. something.#idk. its on me. im 26. i should matter or be a person but im..#im not. im not even a presence in the fands i frequent bc everyone smarter than me jas already said things better #im just here. piggybacking on the insight of others until they grow up and i stay here #im 26 and i have no dreams and no brains and nothing. i hate me.#to delete

So not only did Chassid survive by going with Selden and Tintaglia, but she’s now Duchess of Chalced and her and Selden are in love? A LOT is happening here

#rote readthrough #realm of the elderlings #rote #chassid #selden vestrit #tintaglia #I saw approximately none of this coming #but I ended up enjoying the chalced storyline when I assumed I would hate it #kind of a reverse kelsingra #I wish it had gotten more page time though #since this all felt like it came out of nowhere #rain wild spoilers

i like how bernard hill and brian protheroe are the same age and yet when bernard hill plays the father of brian protheroe. mm idk i just believe it

#the magic of theater #text post #bernard hill #brian protheroe #i like the squishy way decades passed unmarked in the wars of the roses tetralogy #how old is anyone at any given point? uhm how dare you. dont yoou know its impolite to ask a lady's age #or the duke of york for that matter #thats probably how the casting of families ends up working out so well #but there is definitely a sense of the characters getting older that is *felt* even if not explicated in the script #margaret of anjou in the beginning of part 3 is for sure much older as her husband's military commander fighting for her son's inheritance #than she was when she was being wooed by suffolk at the end of part 1. that was just a teenage girl (approximately)#jane howell does a pretty good job of making characters feel older and time having a feeling of passing #through costume and styling even though it's all very simple. idk how to explain it otherwise #but this is why the father can be the same age as the son and i have no complaints #was bernard hill's hair really that gray at only 39 or did they dye it? NONE OF MY BUSINESS IM JUST CURIOUS
