finally finished WOLF HALL and have been walking around in a post-reading rapture; was excited to dive into the tag to find my favorite quotes and it's all photo sets of period costuming (fine) and absolutely unhinged takes on the book (fine but mind boggling lol)

#listen i was a definitely a huge anne boleyn stan as a kid #and you could argue the women in wolf hall don't always get as much complexity as mantel grants cromwell #but idk i think a lot of them DO #it's just that they aren't cast as heroines and their virtues rub up right alongside their vices #they aren't the CW or HBO versions of themselves #they are petty and scheming and bitter #but also brave and pious and loving and vibrant #they are doing and saying what they have to to keep power in a world that punishes the powerless swiftly and without mercy #and so is cromwell!#yes you can tell mantel loves him as a character but she doesn't make him a flawless or uncomplocated protagonist either #he is every bit as blood-drenched and scheming bc he knows the alternative: a boot to the head and his face in the dirt #he and henry are constantly trying to outrun their childhoods; to put down the ghosts that still haunt them #sometimes they suceed #usually they end up with more bodies #more ghosts #another tally against them when it's their turn on the gallows or at the pyre or in their sick bed #praying for absolution #i'm not sure anyone in mantel's world comes out looking innocent or heroic in a simple sense #maybe hero in the sense of an epic #the rise the fall the reversal of fortune #the end where you always realize no matter how high you climb #you can't outrun your past #but like thomas realizes #it's not the dead who are after us #it's us who won't leave the dead be #we resurrect them we put words in their mouths we remake them #and every retelling of history will have different heroes and different villains #mantel is zeroing in on one entry point into the story #the nature of that means that some other interpretations will be excluded

#praying mantis #mantis #mantodea #mantidae #archimantis #these guys can eat birds!!!!!#absolutely wonderful #not sure if male or female. according to wiki the females can't fly but it's unclear whether that means #'completely groundbound and reliant on jumps' or 'can sort of ungracefully fly'#and im awful at sexing mantids

anyways petition for batfanon to just start killing poor jack and janet early if they want tim to join the batfam at 10 instead of doing That to them. why are they never around? there was a cave-in at a dig and they died, tragic. why does tim live alone in a big manor with no supervision and no caretaker? he falsified documents and is pretending they didn't die because he didn't want to go to foster care. mrs. mac comes in only once a week because she thinks her employers are still alive and taking care of their son.

#tim drake #actually also petition if you must absolutely have janet alive at all when tim is robin #since she sure as hell wasn't in canon #make her the fun wine aunt please #better janet fanon 2k24 lettuce pray

#gosho you're evil 😭#if I had a dollar for every time a ship of a fandom i was in got revealed as cousins I'd have two dollars #which isn’t much but it's crazy that it happened twice #also not 20 but 30 years after the release btw. THIRTY. you cannot make this shit up #this ship is older than ME #and the most popular ship of dcmk too #I can only pray for the shippers I'm so sorry #that being said say fuck you to gosho by keep shipping them!#I've read and seen some absolute masterpieces of fics and arts. go wild. create more.#kaishin

oh him? he's just a monk. no he doesn't harbor deep desires of greatness don't worry about it

#zhu my little bug (literally)#he's a praying mantis a cricket a cockroach...#i love her #AND HE HAS DIMPLES #i imagine she's the type to stare a lot at people. and it elicits an interesting reaction in them #with this polite yet knowing almost-smile and her piercing wide eyes #also i know she's described as ugly in the books and i respect that. but i want her to be just a bit alluring in a fucked up way. like #now. this took sooo long. for absolutely no reason #i redid it like 10000 times and still didn't feel 100% satisfied but today i decided to set it free #i hope you guys like it anyway!#:)#zhu chongba #zhu yuanzhang #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #the radiant emperor #shelley parker chan #fanart #myart

" HUSK! "

--- angel slams open his bedroom door, tearing down the stairs, planting himself in front of the bar. his eyes are as wide as saucers, lips curled into a grin. " husk. " he says again, staring at husk with the intensity of an emergency.

and it was just as urgent, in angel's eyes.

he thrust something forward onto the bar. a slightly crumpled piece of paper. upon further inspection . . .

it was a drawing. a bad one. it was slightly stylized stick figures that vaguely resembled both angel and husk . . .

and husk was fucking him. that was the drawing.

angel grinned so wide it hurt. " i made it f'a you. thought you could put it on you'a door. we could match. but, if you'a a fuckin' prude, i made 'dis one, too. "

he thrusts another piece of paper forward. same idea, only instead of fucking, they were holding hands.

this was his attempt at flirting: being an absolute nuisance.

( closed || @mediocremixology )

#;; LMAO #;; truly i just wanted to know husks reaction #;; angels version of flirting is just annoying the absolute piss out of poor husk #;; godspeed kittycat #;; i'll pray for you #;; ic #mediocremixology ;; husker #a loser just like me xx husker

I have always been alone

#houseki no kuni #land of the lustrous #hnk phos #hnk spoilers #lotl spoilers #land of the lustrous spoilers #houseki no kuni spoilers #spoilers #controversial opinion: phos should absolutely pray for everyone and release their souls #while the big ‘f u’ of never praying would be endlessly badass. it would be rather unfit for the theme so far #fanart #hnk phosphophyllite

"This man would hurl himself in death's way to save you. You are sure of this -- but why?"

#disco elysium #kim disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #trying to extrapolate the study #i'm clenching my fist trying not to start a whole essay in the tags about how much I love kim #acab except kim #the day i finished the game i printed his portrait and tacked it onto the wall #it's really close to the ceiling so it looks like i'm praying when i'm looking at him #I love the way Kim is written #Absolute angel #but he's also incredibly human and flawed #I mean compared to Harry maybe less flawed but just complex #the whole game is so complex #oh god i started to write alright uhh maybe I'll draw Jean next...#he really grew on me after I got my grubby hands into ao3

ENTRIES CLOSED, reblogs turned off, thank you everyone for entering and sharing your wonderful works!!

A compilation of every entry piece can be found here!

The winner is @mugbearerscorner and the information has been confirmed in DMs!!

Roll proof:

A link to the full spreadsheet of entries can be found here!

I'm so so grateful to all the people who participated in this event!! I'm so happy with how well it turned out and I'm so so thankful to be able to host it!!! Love you all!! :) :) :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GAUSS PRIME ACCESS GIVEAWAY!

* Provided by Digital Extremes! Info about the prime access here.

To enter, simply reblog with your art of ANY warframe giving a thumbs up!

Giveaway entries will close on FEBRUARY 10TH at 10:00pm CST

The post for the above drawing (with reference screenshot and wips) can be found here.

MORE INFO UNDER THE READ LINE, PLEASE READ IT IF YOU WANT TO ENTER

Notes:

This is not a contest! The winner will be decided entirely randomly, image quality will have no effect on chances of winning! Make whatever you can in any medium you want! (This can also include 3D mediums! The only thing I'm not including is unedited game screenshots/captura, though edited might be okay). Everyone can draw regardless of how good you think your own skills are!

Please submit your own drawing(s)!! Only one is necessary but you can make more if you want of course! Do not use any AI generation tools for your entry.

When reblogging it might be a good idea to enter some text either in the post or in the tags! It turns out reblogs with just an image and nothing else might not show up under the original post, which means I might miss your submission!

Only one entry per person, you will not get more entries for additional reblogs and/or drawings.

The goal of this is for the community to have a fun little gallery of warframe thumb ups in the reblogs, but again don't stress over how "good" your drawing is! As long as you have fun and submit something vaguely in line with the prompt you're good! (such as a wave instead of a thumbs up or an operator instead of a warframe, etc. Up to you how closely you want to follow the prompt!)

You DO NOT need to engage with me in any other way (likes, follows, etc.) to enter, just a reblog with a drawing loosely following the prompt!

This giveaway will only run here on Tumblr due to issues with bots and impersonation on Twitter. The issue of course is that the only way to submit images under a single post on Tumblr is through reblogs, but please know that I do not intend this to be a means of promotion. If people could submit images in the replies I would gladly take that option! If this post gets taken down I will look into other giveaway options.

As this is my first giveaway as a Warframe creator please let me know if I've made any mistakes!

Here are some example drawings that would all work, but of course whatever you want to make shouldn't be limited to this!

Inspired by @ritens, I will be assigning one unique number per individual and then throwing them into the random number generator on random.org. After the entries close and I roll the winner, I will update this post with the winner's name and a message saying that the giveaway is closed. Reblogs will also be turned off once the giveaway is closed, as I am only using reblogs as means of congregating drawing submissions under one post during the giveaway period.

Whoever's number get's chosen will be contacted via DMs here on Tumblr, so please make sure your DMs are open! I will be asking for your Warframe IGN and platform so DE can give send over your prize! If you have cross-save linked or merged then please tell me, though I will also be asking in DMs as well. If the winner doesn't respond within 48 hours or no longer wants the prime access pack, then I will roll a new winner with the same method but with the previous winner(s) number(s) taken out of the pool.

Topmost drawing without giveaway text:

Anyways good luck and most importantly have fun!!

#free wf pa #warframe #gauss prime #my art #warframe gauss prime #UpsideDownSmore's art #warframe fanart #gauss prime access #wf tag #wf #warframe gauss #can't believe i can do one of these now woah #still absolutely surreal #probably way too much effort for this lol #but it was good practice at least and i'm really happy with the result!#praying this works i've spent too long cobbling this together lol

i guess it really is true that we write what we can't have

#thinking about together in hell in reference to my absolutely failing relationships at the moment #and at the same time #haha #it's kinda funny because [ one of the characters ] does the exact same thing #we're fractaling all the way down and i pray that whatever god that's writing me gets better soon
