#alphabetical order. im not ranking them#i still have two more froma zeitlin essays to read (one new and one a reread) in the next few days though#and its possible one of those might knock amy richlin off the rest (nothing personal; its a great piece just not my area)#but if im willing to have two things by the same scholar i would have to rethink including grethlein 'the poetics of the bath in the iliad'#some of my favorite articles/book chapters of the year are not on jstor though...#bill beck 'lost in the middle: story time and discourse time in the iliad'!!!#and lyndsay coo has a 2020 chapter updating and expanding this 2013 article that is 🔥🔥🔥#and of course judith mossman 'women's voices in sophocles' which is what send me to garrison 1989 and rood 2010 but is not itself on jstor#i also reread some of melissa mueller's objects as actors book which is wonderful as always#and i would be incredibly tempted to put william m calder iii's tereus article on a top ten list for sheer entertainment value#jstor wrapped#mine

[also your pfp and header are so pretty]
ohhh first of all THANK YOU second of all this my favorite kind of question<33 my top two are sooooo easy but picking my third favorite was actually really hard so i cheated and picked a tie for third<3
3. 3x16 no rest for the wicked (if i'm picking purely for angst and bloody content this one would probably win) and 11x03 the bad seed (if i'm picking for bloody destiel content then this one would win)
2. 11x04 baby (j-turn scene my beloved. this is absolutely the fucking sexiest bloody dean scene of all time<3)
1. 8x17 goodbye stranger (the crypt scene has EVERYTHING i love...he's soooo fucking bloody and fucked up and on his knees and he's telling cas that he NEEDS him!!!! truly nothing could be better than this)
#there are so many others that i wanted to pick too#maybe i should do a top ten list sometime. i want to wait until i finish the bloody dean gif series tho so i can make sure i don't miss any#bloody dean#my beloved<3#spn#dean winchester#destiel#tw blood#jenna.ask#bloodydeanseries

what number on chuuya’s revenge punishment list do we think is “shooting Dazai in the head” when number 189 (the second mildest punishment) was “spinning him upside down a pole”?
#I feel like it’s in the top ten worst punsihments maybe even top five#although I do feel like it would have been more appropriate for the time when Dazai on purpose let Chuuya get tortured instead of helping#I feel like that is worse than almost making him drown#maybe the punishment was increased because of the vampirism and having to go to another country and having to work with Fyodor#bsd#bsd spoilers#bsd 109#soukoku#dazai osamu#chuuya nakahara#y’all know I have to bring up the stormbringer scene every chance I get#I’m a broken record and I do not care it’s my fave scene in the light novels#bsd stormbringer#my money is on operation goodbye but I like the theory that this is one of the points on chuuya’s revenge list

The world is not real: Charlotte cannot touch it. This -news-, this tragedy is not real either, and it cannot touch her. There’s too much cotton in her ears, there’s an endless, keening chime slowly boring through her skull- in at one temple, out at the other- a continuous line, all the way through…
She is sitting on the sofa. There’s a cup and saucer cradled in her hands. She doesn’t remember picking it up, but the steam is ghosting over her face. It’s fresh. (Her husband is dead). Polly must have given it to her. (Her husband died at his own hand.) They have a visitor, she ought to be showing more hospitality. She wonders if there’s any of that fruitcake left. (Alfred confessed to murder. Alfred confessed to murder, and then Alfred murdered himself)
“Mama?”
Polly’s voice, soft and tentative as it is, makes her jump. Tea sloshes, spills over, pools in the delicate saucer. She shakes herself and focuses her gaze on Sir Julian. “That’s not,” she tries, but the sound barely forms. Charlotte pauses, swallows, tries again. “That’s not right,” she says, unsure if she’s really addressing Sir Julian Harker or merely facing his direction whilst trying to bargain with a Higher Power. “That’s not- none of this is right, Alfred wouldn’t- he wouldn’t do any of it, any of this…” But he has. He has, he has, he has, and when he comes home she’s going to skin him alive. “What will we do?” she asks, as the first beginnings of fear worm their way through the numbness of shock. “The disgrace of it-”
“Mama!” Polly cries, indignant. “At this moment, of all moments, your thoughts cannot be of what other people will think- what does that matter, what do any of them matter!”
It matters because they have never been reckless with money, but savings will not last forever and Charlotte doesn’t know if the widows of Police Inspectors who confess to capital offences and then take their own lives qualify for any sort of pension. It matters because the disapprobation of society in any circumstances can be death by a thousand cuts, whereas the widow who has the sympathies of her community has a better chance at maintaining a somewhat genteel situation. It matters because the infamy of the father will cast a shadow over the life and the character of the daughter- the best chance for Polly, now, is marriage, but what respectable, decent man would want a father- in- law six feet deep in unconsecrated ground?
“Mrs Hillinghead,” Sir Julian says solemnly, “I wish to assure you that you and your daughter will have the fullness of my protection. The events of the last twenty four hours- they will not reflect on you, nor on your daughter. You have my word.”
She acknowledges his words without really understanding- it will not be until much later, lying in a too-empty bed and staring up at the ceiling, unable to sleep- that Charlotte will consider that Harker told Polly about Alfred’s death before he told her, that he stood as close to Polly’s chair as proprietary allows for, that he has seemed- these past few weeks- to admire Polly: her beauty, her music. And perhaps nothing will come of it but friendship- , but the friendship of a man that powerful is not an asset to be scorned. And if it turns into anything more…
They were nineteen, she and Alfred, when they married- they had been friends their whole lives before that. And she had known about him: years before they had married, she had known that his desires steered his eyes not towards the ranks of giggling, frivolous girls who batted their eyelashes at his well built figure and handsome face, but to other members of his own sex. And she had ignored it, because she knew him: he was too good a man to act on those desires. And he was kind, and gentle, and they were friends, and a husband who would be perfectly happy to conduct a marriage with minimal activity in the matrimonial bed suited Charlotte. She had courted him as much as he had courted her, really, although whether he ever realised that…
And he’s dead. Her best friend of nearly forty years. The murder confession, she has already written off- she neither knows nor cares about the details. If it was a false confession, then he confessed to try and protect someone- probably that journalist, given the confession it prompted to her, and she is furious at him. She is furious at him for not protecting his wife and child, and for not letting the journalist face whatever justice he merited- unless, of course, the man threatened to reveal Alfred’s inclinations, and take the Inspector who had detected his crimes down along with him. That seems, to Charlotte, the most likely explanation. And if the confession is- was- true, then Alfred must have had good reason for taking another man’s life: she has seen him carry spiders in the palm of his hand to release them outside, rather than squash them underfoot; she has listened to him vent his frustrations about officers being too heavy handed with their arrests at more dinners than she can remember. Taking another human life…it must have broken something in his mind, which would explain being in such a state that he would….
It does not matter. Alfred is dead, either way- she is a widow, either way. And she will encourage Julian Harker’s friendship, because if Polly can catch him she will have a comfortable home, and a husband who seems a good hearted and generous man. And she, Charlotte, will grieve Alfred Hillinghead. But if his death unravels into the scandal she fears, then she will take care to grieve him quietly. She will survive this. She has to. She has to survive this so that there’s someone who remembers that Alfred Hillinghead played cricket as a boy and took two sugars in his tea.
#bodies netflix#bodies 2023#suicide ts#homophobia ts#(victorian-typical attitudes)#alfred hillinghead#charlotte hillinghead#trying to flesh Charlotte out a bit beyond 'generic victorian wife/mother#(also trying to get a handle on the Polly and Mannix happy timeline because they seemed to get married very quickly#but Charlotte wasn't in mourning dress during the ceremony so either there was a much longer gap than implied or Charlotte wasn't following#the usual customs for victorian widows)#anyway she didn't seem surprised when Alfred told her he was attracted to other men so I'm working on the basis that she worked it out#for herself long ago#And because I can I'm imagining Charlotte Hillinghead as somewhere on the ace spectrum who had#doesn't want sex every ten minutes#at the top of her shopping list when considering potential husbands#my fic#long post

Now, this came from a quiz on the top 3 hated anime characters (the results coming from sites like MyAnimeList, Anime Planet and AniList. So don't hate the poster) and I'm not surprised by the results for MHA.
Keep in mind, yes, a very popular character can also have a lot of haters.
One of these characters is a prime example of that.
#this is the first time i have seen Bakugou not get number 1 in a spot in a long time 😆#I'm not surprised#wonder what the top ten hated characters list looks like#just kiya's thoughts#bnha#mha#boku no hero academia#my hero academia

My Top Ten Elden Ring Bugs
my Criteria to qualify creatures as Bugs is Whatever I think looks cool enough to Be a Bug. cw BUGS!!!
10. Stupid Ass Rot Bugs.
I Hate these fuckers. I fucking hate that web shooting honing Attack that they have. Their little arms on their torso Are kind of Cute lol. But cuteness doesnt Pardon the crimes they've Committed (Against Me).
9. bug Ass Ants
i HATE these fuckers. They're so fucking disgusting. Makes my skin crawl IN A BAD WAY. Also, the GIANT ass on this Ant
I hate her, but She's working so hard. I still Hate her. We're not done with the ants btw
8. mosquito bug.
It's an annoying Bastard but You can usually just run past them with Torrent. Though in this picture, it looks kind of cute lol.
7. fireflies.
Probably the first bug One will encounter while Playing. Even tho its Boring, its really cute... Taking the photos made me realize they have two Little bulbous eyes on the Top of their heads
6. lore butterflies
Nothing against butterflies IRL, but i wished they Looked cooler in game. The only reason Why they're above fireflies is because of Lore reasons (which i love)
5. Fallingstar Beasts.
I know they're different creatures but theyre basically the Same Design. Love the spiky tail and the Eye on the head. on the Fully Grown one. Very cool, just not cool enough to be Higher. I thought about Not including this one Since its More like a Horse, but whatever
4. Fuckhead Normal ants
even Though i Absolutely hate these shitheads and They disgust me, I cant deny that they Look so good. The fuzzy hair Never fails to make my Skin Crawl LOL its so good. Also, they have a Large Head Variant that I didn't even know existed until I started making this list
3. flying Fuckheads
-1 point for Ant variant. the wings look Cool as hell so Theyre just inherently better. Not very cool to Chase me and fuck me tho :/
2. death centipede
I like it, its just So cute. Its interesting that They're fetishes kept by Those Who Live in Death, but the Cursemark of Death resembles them... Yeah, they're high up on the list because of Lore Reasons.
1.BASTARD ASTEL!!!!!!
It's such a COOL fun, episauce monster design. I love the tail Made up spacey Orbs and the Spiky stuff at the end.... I love the skull as its Head, It gives it such an Uncanny feeling and its dragonfly-esque wings... I love you, you Bastard, no matter how Many times you kill me.
#elden ring#what if Instead of elden ring It was called Bug Ring and instead of Finding Great Runes you found Bugs#this is Quite literally a Post just For Me#hmmm I love ur opinions Theyre so goooood#<- why thank u I made them#rambles#bugs#cw bugs#this List is Inspired by the Soulsborkiring Top Ten Lists except its My list and i made it about bugs

hey remember when i said i was drawing Vic Chaos as a milf?
alternates with different lighting (with and without words) and a time lapse under the cut! (btw the words on the cover all have to do with lore in my post covid au so send asks if you’re interested <3)
tw for nudity (without genitalia) in the time lapse cause i shaded the whole body before drawing the dress
#this is the most effort i’ve put into a drawing in the past year#im so in love with her <3#fellas is it wrong for a girl to be in love with her own design of a 40+ year old south park character#i’m never gonna shut up about this drawing idk what to tell you#south park#south park au#south park fanart#south park art#cyn art#also about the extra words:#yes the interview with Kenny bit does confirm that in this au Kenny finally convinces the world he’s immortal#the bonus about Jimmy being in a court case involving ‘Birch’ IS a reference to Timmy Birch and has to do with his lore as well#and yes Vic was on America’s top ten most wanted list for a variety of reasons including but not limited to:#money laundering tax evasion breaking and entering arson murder smuggling people across the border destruction of private property-#-starting a violent uprising being able to manipulate anyone and everyone incredibly easily possession of substances and illegal weapons#and more#shes my babygirl i can make her commit whatever war crimes i want#also you may notice she’s wearing a wedding ring but her name is still ‘Chaos’#this is because her and Kenny are married but since they’re both well known they don��t want the extra media drama#butters stotch#marjorine stotch#sp butters#butters sp#sp marjorine#marjorine sp#vic chaos#victor chaos#sp post covid#south park post covid#south park pcov

im not an anon hate guy so im attaching my name to this. your five star list on your uquiz is kind of ass. are you okay? i know art subjective and all that. are you okay?
I stand by each choice 100% and will gladly defend them till i die. they're all five star films
i did have to limit my choices to things I think your average uquizzer might conceiveably know of which was horribly limiting (this was a failure, when i still looked at comments on that quiz like 1/100 would be 'I have never seen a single one of those films')
The films in question (which i stand by):
I'm doing amazing, thanks for asking. How are you?
#I respect this not being anon#i have ignored a similar asks that were anon#if i was doing the list based on my actual top ten 5* films?#Aftersun; Beauty and the Beast (1946); The House That Jack Built; Interstellar; There Will Be Blood; Ikiru; Holiday (1938); Magnolia;#The Mummy; Alien#wait melancholia also#Thank you for not fighting me on my half a star films#We can all agree that 300 is a fucking awful film
