Your honor I have something to confess...

I-I'm a simp for fictional characters 👉👈 o\\\\o

these were supposed to be quick scribbles and they spiraled vastly out of control, THEY HAVE FUCKING BACKGROUNDS NOW??? THAT IS NOT SCRIBBLING???? OTL

Anyway, Narilamb compilation of relationship texts/posts I found suitably fitting and/or hilarious. :D I waffled on whether or not I should keep the 'human rights violation' bit or change it to 'animal rights violation', but then I decided I was overthinking it and stopped giving a shit. :D

Here's the texts/posts in question:

I couldn't resist picking out unique robes for each of them; Leshy gets the jester costume (obviously), Heket has the evening frock (I just think it's cute on her, okay???), Kallamar gets the fancy robe (because let's be honest, that boi has GOT to be fancy), and Shamura has the modest robe (since it looks nice and comfy but with a nice spicy hint of gothic). Narinder, meanwhile, obviously gets the night shirt, because its description is literally, 'A MOODY ENSEMBLE, PERFECT FOR LURKING', and if that ain't Bastard Cat material, I don't know what is.

Also have this bonus doodle with a quote from David Cronenberg's 'Consumed':

~So Romantic~

~It's TRUE DEVOTION~

with caveats

GUYS GUYS THIS IS A CODE RED SITUATION IM GONNA OH NO…….. OH

Listen. Listen to me

Do you know how much I LOVE that comic? IT'S SO GOOD SO SO SO GOOD

We get to see a glimpse of Click's inner workings! How his mind operates!! His complicated relationship with himself and the other pinks and what it is to BE a pink!!!! Is he just like them? Are they all the same?? Is HE the horrible one??? Is he not horrible ENOUGH???? WHO KNOWS!!! And the 'I miss my department' like MANS DOESN'T WANNA BE THERE!!! HE DOESN'T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT!!!! HE HATES IT HERE CAUSE INTERACTING WITH THESE GUYS MAKES HIM THINK TOO MUCH💕💖💕💖

Like, what if they're all the same? Then Click isn't special and he's just another darkner abiding by the rules of his code.

What if the others laced the candy platter and he didn't? Then Click is too soft, they'll eat him alive out there! How is he going to survive!!

What if he's projecting and nobody else even thought of lacing the candy? Does that mean he's just a horrible person in general? Is it not just a pink thing and more a HIM thing?

And then the visuals, the zooming in into the one piece of candy among all the others in the candy platter as he does Thoughts™

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I LOVE HIM DO YOU GET WHY I WANT TO INJECT HIM DIRECTLY INTO MY BLOODSTREAM THIS IS WHY HE'S MY FAVORITE ADDISON HIS WRITING IS IMMACULATE

Just thinking about how horrid Sophia and Francis are for each other. Francis is so focused on “love will overcome any problem” he ignores the absolute massive list of reasons Sophia wouldn’t be happy with him - let alone her “nope, you’d be an unsuitable husband”. And Sophia knows she won’t ever agree on marrying him but still wants to have whatever relationship they have to go on, even though her entire family is making Francis miserable over it. But instead Francis drives himself into depression spirals over not giving up hope and Sophia accidentally sends him on a suicide mission via “well if you love me do this dumb thing for me”

OUGH I need to stop googling symptoms :((((

The meower

actually i need to calm down LOLOLOL but this has been building since like 2012 💀 think i could punch glass rn

I’m 23 and I still feel stuck. younger than young. older than old. most importantly, I feel stuck

I saw a leak. With Ino. Kill me.

No one talk to me I am currently thinking about the "smothered to death by mark" ending and wondering how long it took for the resentment to break him. Did it start out small, with him just hiding bits and pieces of himself in order to avoid demerits? Did he slowly begin hiding things from the captain, the person he once said he trusted more than himself, because he thought he would be punished for being himself? How long did it take him to realize that him being hurt over and over again was not worth whatever fleeting praise he got from the captain? That he was limiting himself from living a life for himself, that this version of the captain could never adore him the way he had once adored them? How many years of constant punishment did he take before he finally gave up? I am in shambles I feel so BAD for engie my poor boy :((

ZERAORAS YOUR MEME SQUAD

I didn't think I was going to get so emotional over this Big Country video/performance, but I did and it's...not pretty.

I'm not gonna post this video, but I actually watched it in spite of wondering why literally all of them are shirtless (not that I'm, uh...exactly complaining), and aside from that, when Stuart says "So when you're going [around?], going home tonight, to your nice, safe, warm cars, take a good look around you - there's a great, [brave? grave?! that beautiful accent befuddles me], big world out there, and all of us are responsible for it" he then gives...a smile. But it's an incredibly, deeply resigned (almost polite) smile. And it's going to haunt me for the rest of my days. I wish I was joking. It upsets me a lot, actually, because I believe from his facial expressions and everything (including a pause where it's clear he's not quite sure what he's going to say, but it seems like he's searching for something to say that will have an impact on the audience - which is part of why this is so painful) he's being sincere about his brief speech, but then he, like, very briefly moves his mouth away from the microphone (I think because he's fully gauging that he's about to not get any kind of reaction from the audience) and then moves his face again so his mouth is mostly hidden by the microphone and gives that resigned smile (those deep dimples!!!) which says...oh god, everything. To me, it says: "I know what I just said meant nothing to you all [or I would've had at least some reaction (from the audience)]," "Sorry for wasting your time," "Oh, how funny of me to think that any of you would catch that I'm calling you out on your privilege - my bad," and finally, "Hello EXISTENTIAL DREAD, MY OLD FRIEND". 😭 All of that plays on his face in that like not-even-two second span of a smile. And. Oh god. Yeah. I'm just gonna be...haunted. By it.

I don't say any of this at all negatively, by the way - I do not think less of him for that. But then again, I appreciate when my favorite artists give little, like...motivational speeches and stuff at their concerts, actually, because no matter what anyone else thinks, THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS RELEVANT. Stuart's speech was relevant because of what "Rockin' In The Free World" is about! I mean, okay, maybe it was a bit redundant because, with a song like "Rockin' In The Free World," we get it. It's presented very plainly, lyrically, why it was written - what its intent is. BUT, he still makes a good and not-quite-as-strongly-implied-by-the-song point about privilege WHICH, TO SAY AT A CONCERT, IS KINDA BALLSY, NOT GONNA LIE! And clearly it didn't go over with that audience, but does that mean he just shouldn't try at all? So I do think he had reasonable motive (that was actually not totally unnecessary) for saying his spiel. I give him props for trying to give people something to think about, even if they're not going to think about it while they're at a rock concert, lmao...still! Why not take the risk?

Anyway. I don't know if his face there is going to haunt me because of the audience, or because it's like...my empathy just went, "Oh fucking SHIT that hurts, ahaha"...because I can imagine it being both.

I am. full weeping.
