#help this reminds me of that one thing
Text
i almost made a longass post about how i think it’s stupid that people always assume it’s either “Max and Chloe” or “Max and Warren” in a post hell week situation, but then halfway through i realized that i just dont like the amatonormativity behind that and saved you guys from another “nightly LIS post” from maxthesillyy
#i also realized it’s because Max and Chloe’s relationship is far more intense than Max and Warren’s#which is its own “nightly LIS post” by itself#alsoalso#Max and Chloe makes sense in post bae ending. it’s inevitable#but Max and Warren is subjective. your own opinion. but i see a bit too many people treating it as fact#like erm.#no#shut up#help this reminds me of that one thing#me: all ships are just as valid as eachother!!!!#also me when max and warren: 😐#sorry guys not to be a hater but my One Opinion that i will Always stand by is that max and warren are the Lamest and Most Boring LIS ship#WAIT LIKE#DO WHATEVER YOU WANT FOREVER I CANT CONTROL WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK THEYRE CUTE /genuine#but….. like……. cmon.#lis#life is strange#max caulfield#warren graham#chloe price#barely#…i wish i could tag shipnames without it being inherently romantic#hey guys im aroace could you tell /silly#oh my cod i did NOT save you guys from a “nightly LIS post” whoops

Cockney Rhyming Slang Phrases Part 1
Part 2
In a previous post I went into Cockney rhyming slang history and gave some tips on how to use it.
In this post I’ll give you some commonly used Cockney rhyming slang phrases, phrases that I find funny, as well as some phrases that I think would be useful for Spider-Verse fic writers specifically.
So let’s get started!
A-B
Adam and Eve - Believe
E.g. “I don’t Adam and Eve it!”
Apples and Pears - Stairs
E.g. “He fell down the apples.”
Aunt Joanna - Piano
E.g. “Play me a song on the old Joanna!” Or “Get on the Joanna and we’ll have a sing song!”
Barnet Fair - Hair
E.g. “How do I fit my barnet under my mask? Wouldn’t you like to know.”
This is a very common Cockney phrase; you’ll hear a lot of true Cockneys talking about getting their barnet done.
Barney Rubble - Trouble
E.g. “Looks like someone’s lookin’ for a Barney!”
Bread and Honey - Money
E.g. “I ain’t got enough bread for that.”
Bird Lime - Time (in prison)
E.g. “He’s doin’ bird.”
Bird lime is a sticky substance you spread on trees to catch birds (now illegal, thankfully). You can understand why people relate it to feeling trapped.
Boat Race - Face
E.g. “He’s got a handsome boat!” Or “Shut your boat!” Or “I’m not just gonna show you my boat race, mate. Secret identity and all that.”
Bottle and Glass
I’m going to let you figure this one out.
E.g. “Look at the bottle on that guy!” Or “I slipped on the steps and went bottle over tit!”
Brass Tacks - Facts
E.g. “Let’s get down to brass tacks!”*
*Some people think that this phrase originates from the Cockney rhyming slang, however others say that it is referring to brass tacks used in upholstery or tacks that were hammered into sales counters to indicate measuring points. I don’t have the answer.
Brown Bread - Dead
E.g. “He’s brown bread!”
This is an example of a Cockney rhyming slang phrase that you don’t abbreviate. You always say “brown bread” and never just “brown”.
Bubble Bath - Laugh
E.g. “Are you having a bubble?”
This is meant more in an irritated sense rather than joyful laughter, like saying “You must be joking!” Or “Are you having a laugh?”
Butchers Hook - Look
E.g. “Let’s have a butchers at that.” Or “Take a quick butchers at this!”
It’s good to keep in mind that there can be multiple Cockney rhyming slang phrases for the same word, as well as multiple Cockney rhyming slang phrases that start with the same word. For example, ‘Birds Nest” and “Bristol and West” both mean chest, and “Birds Nest” and “Bird Lime” both can be abbreviated to “Bird”. For the latter, context is important for knowing what someone is talking about.
As always, I’m not an expert; a true Cockney would know far more than I do. I just want to share the knowledge that I have. I hope that someone will find this helpful, informative, or entertaining at the very least.
I’ve got more Cockney rhyming slang phrases coming, but if there’s any other areas of British slang you’d like me to go into, let me know and I’ll see what I can do!
Happy writing and happy speaking!

Little is Alyx 👎🏻
Little is Penny 👎🏻
Little is a reflection of Ruby in Vol.1 and is a physical representation of “healing your inner child” 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
#like seriously Little reminds me more of Ruby than Ruby herself right now#I relate to Ruby so much in just needing to be ok for everyone all the time for things to be stable#when WBY is talking about how they bring her up by saying ‘we count on you’ and ‘you can do it’ and that’s basically what I heard growin up#my therapist once told me that you have to be the friend and caretaker for that little girl who always had to be ok#that she is still inside of my heart and that I’m the only one who can be there for her now#and something about… making sure my inner child feels safe reminds me so much of Ruby’s relationship with Little#also Little’s mannerisms are just … so v.1 Ruby it’s just uncanny#’I want to help even though I may not know how’#that’s blind Ruby optimism if I’ve ever seen it#rwby#rwby spoilers#rwby9#rwby volume 9#rwby ruby rose#rwby v9#rwby volume 9 spoilers#rwby theory#ruby rose

fake ep idea + doodles
#i was thinking abt how funny it would be if there was a shiftythrifting blog equivalent in lmk. and half the stuff on there is#submitted by wukong. so i thought a yard sale ep would be funny lol#basically the hoard becomes problem one way or another and wukong figures the best way to get rid of his junk is thru ebay#somehow ends up selling world ending artifacts to random megapolis citizens so mk mei and redson have to scramble to find em#purposely meant to mirror the weekly shenanigans s1-2 style eps that are really goofy (dumpling ep noodles ep etc)#but it gets darker and darker because MK is not fucking ok after that whole thing with the scroll and some unchecked identity crisis#for me id want him to kind of. freak tf out because they have to find MULTIPLE chaos inducing items that could end the world while trying t#be sillygoofy and funny about it. so hes trying to mask his panic with “ohhh guys its just like the good ol days ^_^ remember that ^_^”#ESPECIALLY after that whole thing with the ink scroll. also mei doesnt buy any of it and is worried for him the whole time#as for the B plot it could be monkey king also trying to be very relaxed abt selling 4000 years worth of stuff and tang getting all huffy#like “these are priceless artifacts that could help us learn so much about the past!! wtf man!!!”#and maybe it reveals smth like wukong not wanting to hold on anymore bc his past weighs him down. and theyre all reminders#i think azure mentioned that wukong is sentimental (idk if that was genuine or lying to mk) so that could be touched on to#so basically. the theme would be some sort of conversation abt nostalgia. i think. im not a writer so its very fuzzy in my head#if anyone wants to add on or include their own spin on it feel free. also included undercut redson as a treat somewhere in there#myart#lego monkie kid#monkie kid#lmk red son#lmk mei#lmk MK#lmk xiaotian#lmk xiaojiao#lmk sun wukong#lmk swk#doodles#lmk tang#lmk pigsy#lmk traffic light trio#yard sale ep

I jUST LEARNED
Megatron and Orion Pax meeting for the first time:
And then. When Future Megs talking to Past Orion in mtmte#36
#I#help#I didn’t understand this moment when I was reading mtmte I DIDNT HAVE THE CONTEXT#The fact that….that Megatron did so much terrible things#and hurted and murdered so many people#and tried to kill Optimus for millions of years#but when he’s talking to this past Orion#the first thing Orion pulling is#ah Megatron with an R#his first initial reaction is to joke about that one time he mispronounced Megatron’s name#because this Pax#This past version of him doesn’t remember Megatron as a tyrant. He remembers him as a guy whose name isnt Megaton oops sorry this is awkward#he’s Megatron with R my bad#it’s such a innocent little detail#Everyone around Megatron constantly reminding him about all his crimes and seeing him though ‘he is scary’ and ‘he is evil’ lenses#But this👆#This is a reminder#Megatron wasn’t always a terrible person#He was ‘Megatron with an R’ once#I don’t know why this detail hit me so hard. I must be running out of symbols ahahah#maccadam#mtmte#tapa if you’re happen to read this#this moment is from issue 22 in a general map I gave you:)

litany of the martyrs (click for better resolution!)
#at some point i wanted to make an illustration for each character but in retrospect maybe each is multiple song-coded..#drew the sketch for a quincy thing after a chat with a mutual reminded me this song existed dfsghjkl and then spent weeks rendering this#quincy cynthius martin#adamandi#i'm finally done with this! the saints especially were joys to paint and the halo a menace.... this has been the most ambitious one so far.#but it also took quite long because i only worked on it <engages with quincy> when mentally okay to deal with the themes. i'm not religious#but i do identify with the irrational(?ish) guilt + family legacy + academic achievement + disregard for self. also more complex thoughts#about love [but depsite quincent being a large part of quincy's character this piece deals with mostly the Rest of it. so another time..]#anyways! in the original sketch- the saints had heads bent towards quincy so the halo spikes pointed at him. but this worked better! halos#of the saints implying/creating one for quincy was a concept from the start though. in the show they don't touch him directly here but#differences in mediums i think- i don't have time in an image to craft a narrative so everything has to be happening. also artistic liberty#misc inspiration for this includes stained glass windows. i might have maybe misinterpreted the saint costume but i think i logic-ed it out#as the cloth part following a nun's habit w the hood. and then halo above. the material is also more transparent originally but i had. um.#too much fun painting fabric folds.. if you look closely you can see the basis of faces though behind the cloth; but only the vague shapes#because smth obscurity + inhumanness// cassian is the only one i gave a mouth though. that stems from melliot's post about the saints and#st cassian as spokesperson (<- did research teehee!) that's also how i found out which costume = which saint. speaking of which.#left to right: 'st lucy take my hand' // 'st lawrence give me strength' (presses quincy forward; but hand on shoulder connotates guidance)#/'st cassian help me smile' (quincy's mouth is btwn a grimace and a smile; tilts up at side. also no direct touch bc added insidiousness.)#//'st jude [...] i hope your causes burn' (jude's hand is in two places to show movement- nearing the flame and then snatching back; burnt)#other notes: at the midst of the flame the core is shaped like a human heart /the saints and their wax are all melting like the candle for#fun visual effect and also this way they are even less tangible <real>. perks of painting as a medium i guess. // also insp from icarus?#wax and burning imagery; looking at the halo and rays as parallel to sun that burns. too close to the sun; melting; hurting; hurtling //#candles at bottom are a nod to the frankly gorgeous set// also the entire composition kind of stems from the lyric <what use is a candle if#both ends aren't burning>; the two sides between the concepts of catholic guilt and academic perfection that spur quincy#the halo above (saints and guilt; litanyofthemartyrs) and the 'halo' below (academic papers; insp from choreo for perfect at school)#the papers were originally supposed to be more glowy. but i like the idea of it now being a reflection of how quincy's priorities shift#also of note is that <candle> in centre = quincy; w burning candle + aforementioned heart in flame -> most human; idea of love + passion#last thoughts: kneeling + hands close tgt = prayer //wax dripping onto the red As make an effect that looks like blood. because i like#hiding that within the adamandi pieces :OO continuity!! // i've run out of tags but yeah! had fun with this one! every so often i go a#little insane in making art and the final result astounds even me. ngl i'm quite proud of this one. pretty colours <3333

*gently places angsty Twig comic in your hands*
There comes a point in healing, sometimes, where you must grieve the child you never got to be, and bury her along with the desperate hope of one day somehow becoming her.
It isn’t fair. And it never will be.
But you grieve the child, still.
#hey so do you think the PMD universe has a concept of PTSD or#I gotta admit I’m not so sure about posting this one either ;w;#i like. never make my angstier works public. so this is very new to me#man this AU really is just Twig Going Throught It huh#I promise it gets better#there’s a happy ending pending#Twig just has to get to a point where she can’t keep pushing things aside#she’s got to hit rock bottom so hard it knocks enough sense into her to ask for help#also when Young Twig appears beside Adult Twig she’s not literally there!#not sure if that was clear#Twig talking about how she feels messed up just reminded Grovyle of something she said while a human#it was a lil flashback on his end#*slips tumblr a $20 bill* please let this be less blurry than the last comic#stuff by sofie#the present is a gift AU#pmd2#pmd eos#pmd explorers#pmd sky#pmd#pmd au#pmd comic#pmd grovyle

i was so emotional while watching the eras tour movie. from the very first second, you can feel that it is a celebration of her and her art, and it fills you with such pride and joy. and all i could think was that she has been there for me throughout all these years and vice versa and these songs are proof and representative of that. it just hits you so hard in the feels, i can’t even explain it. quite literally a life-changing experience.
#i cried so much like so. much.#like i didn’t cry this much at the actual shows#and maybe that was because i’ve been having the worst time ever in general in my life and the movie helped me and hence the tears#like it reminded me that there’s this one thing in my life that brings me endless joy and if all else fails it will always be there#yes i know this is cheesy#but it’s true#eras tour premiere#arshia talks

#I chose this song because the first time I heard it. I was already thinking about mike.. AND I was already dating ANA.#but I still thought about him-#and the funniest thing is that after a while. when he and I started dating. he made a playlist of songs that remind him of me..#and this song was the first one on the list!#Idk how. but how happy I was to see that song in the first place and on the playlist that HE made... you certainly couldn't/can't imagine..#so.. I have a very special affection for this song... and I couldn't help but draw them. as they are such special characters for us too!#that we can change their appearance so many times. but their love and the love that we have for them will always be the same :]#so... yeah. thanks mike! I'm happy to have you here.. and I'm happy to love you and you love me too...💖#hey mike!!!#mike my beloved/p#my platonic silly#c!melple#c!manple#not my oc#my boyfriend oc#c!mel loly#my oc character#handsome couple/p#king duo#i'm mel and this is my blog✌️#my art blog#art#my art#my art <3#art mel#my art style#dandelions song#dandelions#valentine's week#?

i can't stop thinking about buck's future reaction to this new eddie storyline in like a best friend way, because i don't know how aware buck is of how much eddie is struggling with his mental health lol, like how long ago was the last time they spoke about shannon in relation to eddie? does buck think eddie is over her death? or maybe not over but at least he's come to terms with it? i feel like we'll see eddie trying to hide this thing with kim and buck will surely know something's going on but i don't think he'll ever imagine something close to what's happening, and then aside from the lying and bad feelings surrounding the situation he'll also feel awful because he just didn't know how this was still an issue eddie was having... yk?
#911 abc#911 spoilers#buddie#eddie diaz#evan buckley#like that's grief for you and that's how healing isn't linear and probably buck is aware of this#but i feel that buck;like most of us; when it comes to the people he loves; he most likely wants them to heal super fast and eddie was Fine#then again this reminds me of that merry exmas episode when maddie doesn't want to celebrate christmas#and buck knows it's because of doug and instead of understanding the situation he gets angry at her because christmas is another thing#maddie lost to doug?#anyway i don't know if this makes sense? i just keep thinking if this was my best friend lmao and i saw her dating her ex's doppelganger#how part of my reaction would be shock over realizing how not over him she is? even though she hasn't shown anything for me to know#or help her with... like when was the last time buddie talked about shannon? *in 701 we have chris mention her#but one thing is christopher and another thing is eddie... anyway that's grief pals that's one of the fucked up ways grief works like

some tragic love stories be like: if i could bottle the galaxy, i would pour it into a cup so it would be easier for you to drink. do you want them? do you want the stars? or do they suit you better as adornments for your eyes than glitter on your lips?
but they don’t want the stars. they don’t want the galaxy. but how can they not? is that not enough? (it’s too much, that’s the problem. it’s too much.)
#ney's idle chatter (random textposts)#me trying and failing to capture why hadestown has embodied Love in a way i don’t think i’m really capable of comprehending fr#but also this can be about whatever blorbo you want#when i think about that one line in chant#when hades says ‘brighter than the light of day’#‘look. look at what i can make for you—see?’#meanwhile the last thing persephone wants is to be reminded of this hollow echo of what their love is in her memories#when i think about that scene when eurydice tells orpheus they need to get food#but he’s working on his song and she makes the choice to trust him and go#to work harder and longer and search for things to feed them and trust he’ll bring spring back#THE WAY PERSEPHONE TRIES TO KISS HADES GOODBYE AT THE START WHEN SHE COMES BACK FOR SUMMER#AND HOW IT PARALLELS EURYDICE KISSING ORPHEUS GOODBYE WHEN SHE GOES TO LOOK FOR FOOD#and hades pulls away. because she’s leaving him and he’s terrified. he’s terrified and turns it into anger because otherwise he’s helpless.#and orpheus doesn’t respond when eurydice leaves because he’s working—he’s working and he’s going to give her what he promised.#but she needs his help. she needs his help now—she needs his support and he isn’t there.#thinking about the moment she takes the ticket from hades and#it almost implies she starves. that she dies. that she starves to death trying to find food for them both#i promise you however unhinged i seem about this musical i am being purposefully restrained so i don’t spam you all too much orz#holy SHIT these tags are LONG#even for me this is ridiculous there’s a whole other post down here#high five to you for reading it ig damn#hadestown

What Deacon thinks: what did that mean? did he want me to wear a collar too? why else would he mention my neck? i mean, if he /asked/ me i would wear one but he didn't so would wearing one be weird?
What Ymber meant: It's nice to be near someone who isn't tethered to this world to serve it with a physical reminder for all to see.
#my characters#this just in ! thats why all the deities in the plot have collars and a chain !#its because THATS THEIR DESIGNATED I AM HERE TO HELP THIS WORLD SYMBOL#they cant remove their collars and thats fine by them - its a constant reminder that they exist to serve#deacon really shouldnt get as much crap as he gets in canon for being weird cause the deities are just a different brand of weird#like its not deacons fault that apparently you can say nice neck with no underlying desire#but he cant say hi would you please possess me i want to know what its like to have someone else in my body#like thats really not something you should pin on deacon YET EVERY deity is like wow what a lil weirdo#he also just really wants to please ymber so if ymber asked he would definitely do whatever#on the flip side i need to point out that deacon very specifically doesnt ask ymber for things nor does he pray for things#and it drives ymber up a wall because this is his favorite human who wont ask for anything and he isnt a psychic#he doesnt know what deacon wants or needs and its infuriating cause he exists to serve humanity#and yet this ONE GUY wont let him do things for him#this is very important and i cant believe i mentioned it like a month ago to someone and today#i received gift art of these two and i may never recover#its so perfect and its ymber just looming over deacon telling him that he can pray about anything to him#its also worth pointing out that when i was telling the person about the whole ymber begging for a prayer#its because he realizes that after all this time hes never had a single prayer from deacon - not before nor after the hire#so hes like oh well thats odd hmm#and then begins to talk to deacon like you know people pray to me for lots of things#and deacon looks at him unsure of what this is leading to - did someone offer a weird prayer? ask a weird thing? whatst?#and no - its just ymber saying that people will pray for wealth or an item#or they will express frustration if something is lost or broken despite it not being ymbers fault so deacon just stares#he has no idea what this is going to end on really so he points out 'well you do like to think you break people'#and ymber just ASDFASDFSADF STOP OK NEXT POINT people pray to me to bless relationships with happiness#and thats fascinating so deacon is like wow can you actually do that?#and ymber is so stressed as hes like i mean kinda i can simply amplify the positive emotions in gestures#like if someone gives an item out of love then its blessed#he also admits that he cant mask insincerity or malice so those feelings are not hidden nor amplified#and deacon just is impressed bc that is actually VERY cool

big fuck you (complimentary) to rené auberjonois for making me cry with one little movement of his eyes as odo looks at kira and says "and it's been my observation that you humanoids have a hard time giving up the things you love, no matter how much they might hurt you"
#uncalled for and unkind#star trek#star trek ds9#ds9#odo#kira nerys#kiraodo#odo reminds me so much of my dad whenever he's trying so hard to help cheer someone up or be kind. so that's a thing#*barely not panicking odo voice* my detective novels never prepared me for this#the female changeling being half like 'bitch you really live like this' and half 'you already have daddy issues right#well. time to give you some ambiguously gendered psychosexual mommy isses to complete the set! ur welcome'#mystique in x men evolution coded behavior#also....... one of the most important things to odo about their relationship being that kira doesn't lie to him. augh!!!!!#and then he ends the ep by lying through his teeth to her. hypocricy KING (affectionate)#listen. he was raised in a lab by dr mora and torture. of course he's fucked up and weird interpersonally how else could he be
