Well, that should teach a man to mess with me, he was never seen again and I’m still wandering the beach | Edward “The Kraken” Teach + The Lighthouse by Halsey

#our flag means death #ofmd #edward teach #blackbonnet #this was initially just an exercise in timing bc i love the beat of this song and thought it fit ed's character in ep 10 a lot #but then i heard halsey sing 'a little piece of him is in a little piece of me' and i screamed THE CRAVAT and. well. here we are #timing was still my number 1 focus though. i tried really hard to match as many things to the beat as i could #that kraken transformation montage... sorry to sound obsessed with my own work but damn am i proud of that bit #anyway enjoy! those waves sure did come crashing down in the end huh?#with thanks to ofmd for having so many shots of stede holding the only light source in an otherwise dark scene <3 doing the lord's work #video.mp4 #edits.mp4

hot take but taking every hearsay or rumor or book in a fictional universe for fact is bad understanding of the world as the story presents it, actually

#li.txt #this is both about dishonored and elder scrolls #propaganda exists! artistic interpretation exists! lie exist! people make shit up!#you cant take anything literally unless youre seeing it for yourself imo #if someone is telling you a story about their life they might omit information or make themselves look better! thats how people work!#or if you hear idk some musicians singing in the streets about an ancient myth from 4k years ago maybe dont take it for fact #this is a direct callout to people shitting on born in the month of darkness #if anything they were trying to make the outsider sound like a pathetic wet cat in need of a warm blanket and food. a poor meow meow #unless stuff is confirmed by the characters themselves Im not gonna believe it fully #the books are also often just. not true. theyre scientific speculation Just Like Real Life #or full on propaganda. just like - you guessed it - real life!#the best example that I can think of is how theres two books on the war of betony island in daggerfall. political!! propaganda!!!#not to mention: people will deceive you on purpose! omit details or full on Lie in your face #like Im sure theres stuff we completely misunderstood cause the one thing we were told about it was by someone bullshitting #like with delilah talking about her tragic backstory. like dont get me wrong I 100% believe that it all happened #but also I doubt she was as pitiful and that the Very Quick Summary was all there is to it #I should probably specify that if youre down to believing absolutely everything when there isnt any other sources thats fine #esp if you want to believe it for the reasons of Oh This Is Cool #like people absolutely eating up the angsty backstory for the outsider (me included cause yes. angst.)#have fun with all that #this is mostly about all the people throwing a temper tantrum online about disliking something about canon #'why do the musicians know the backstory why cant they leave anything vague anymore:/' theyre artists melinda its their job ur doing the sam #unless this was confirmed by the outsider in the books idk I cant find those damn things #if something is Stated by a Character or Written in a Novel that is in the world theres always some doubt #like I genuinely doubt that the events of Young Prince of Tyvia happened the way they do in the books #so like yknow. if you hate stuff so much just. ignore the canon established by literal in-game fiction

Lord, prepare me

For the shadows

For the sparrows

At my window

#pillar of truth by lucy dacus is now a takaeishi song #can't stop won't stop appropriating sad gay girl music for the birdmen agenda #one day i will make fanart for these 2 i swear #birdmen #takaeishi #takayama sou #karasuma eishi #i the anchor i'm slowly sinking into darkness yet unknown #but the fading light around me is full of faces who carry my name????#oh i tried to be a second coming and if i was nobody knew #IF MY THROAT CAN'T SING THEN MY SOUL SCREAMS OUT TO YOU #honestly in my head this is takayama's pov on eishi #like sou is so isolated and is drifting further away ready to relinquish himself to his cosmic destiny #but eishi is the only one who tries to keep him #the only one with the guts to express how much he values takayama as a real person and as a friend #while takayama seems more likable and popular it's really eishi who overshadows him as a leader and strong voice #and takayama's always had full trust in eishi he'd be down for anything he'd decide like that's his pillar of truth fr #and now this song got me angsty thinking about the possibility of sou outliving eishi in his ascendence to the cosmic divine #kinda like twilight sparkle outliving the rest of the mane 6 after also becoming a god #birdmen is just like mlp: friendship is magic fr

okay so thinking about the greys episode where most of the staff accidentally eats edible cookies and this happening in the greys x tlou au world lmfao. imagine the residents (ellie, dina, jesse) trying to take care of their high as fuck attendings (maria, tess, joel, tommy, bill) after a parent gives them to tommy and he leaves them in their lounge

@bumblepony @clickergossip @theliterallylee @ameerawrites

#maria: (frantically tearing up her office)#ellie: ????? what are you looking for???#maria: MY GLASSES #ellie: … (takes them off her forehead) here #maria: OH THANK YOUUUU #later on #dina: okay everyone calm down the cooking aren’t poisonous they just have weed in them #tommy: MISSY YOU SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH #dina: you knew they had weed in them???#tess and maria would end up in a dark room somewhere playing with one of those fancy screens that shows you the anatomy of the whole body #or talking abt cheese like that scene with maggie and arizona #or doing that nose humming/singing thing like whatever the fuck april and bailey were doing lmfao #joel would be half asleep #by the time jesse’s found him hes bought four bags of chips from the vending machine #ellie trying to get him to lay down: its okay dude ill cover your cases. go to sleep #joel: i love youuuuuu #bill is about to start a surgery and dina has to be like hey man maybe dont #greys au #tlou au #tlou #the tipsy bison

LET ME ASSIGN YOU AN AESTHETIC WORD.

CAFUNÉ. cafuné means running your fingers through someone's- perhaps a lover, hair. it's such an intimate, affectionate way of showing love. if you got this result, you're a romantic at heart; very sweet, delicate, precious wandering soul. aren't you scared of your heart being too big for your body? somehow, you remind me of that pretty coral pink that bleeds into a soft indigo when the sun is slowly setting.

what i'd like to tell you is that we can't save everyone, and that's okay. you're doing your best, and it's enough.

tagged by: @danversiism!! <3 tagging: you!!

#there's literally a post at the top of my drafts Right Now talking about how much of a romantic he actually is #under all the sarcasm and bullshit he's a genuine fucking softie. he Craves love. he gives it away freely.#cafuné specifically makes me think of when he first got back together with kit ryan #and one of the first things they did as a couple was stay in bed together for 3 days. didn't leave the flat #just had nothing more important in the world than being with each other and that's how he is in MOST relationships motherfuckers!!!#justice league dark's womanizing dickhead has rotted people's brains!! commitment issues my ass this man WANTS to settle down!!!!#anyway. VERY passionate about this if you can't already tell #( character study. ) A WALKING PLAGUE OF A MAN.#( dash games. ) ALRIGHT YOU OVERGROWN LARPERS! HERE!#idk it's always 'wrecked-looking husk of a man' THIS and 'wall-licking little cryptid' THAT and 'where's that gif of matt ryan in leather'#NAH MAN. bring me the guy who spent almost a full fucking day at the shops trying to find kit the perfect christmas present!!#bring me the guy who took a depressed god out to share a coffee bc the god just looked Too Fucking Sad to leave alone!!#bring me the guy who started singing the beatles in the bar & got everyone else to join in just bc someone seemed to need a leg up!!#where is the man who took abby arcane out dancing!! tucked her in!! bought her breakfast in the morning!! all because she seemed lonely!!#that's this motherfucker!!!!!!#and yeah he is ALSO a wrecked-looking husk of a cryptid who ROCKS a bit of leather but that other guy is still in there too!!!!!#idk. IDK. i feel many things about constantine's softness always being cut away by the sharp edges of his tongue and his suffering #40th birthday party constantine lives rent-free in my skull forever and you can never take him away from me

I think on the joy of storytelling. I genuinely don't know who I'd be, or how I'd get through my life, without it. It is basically the essence of existence. Imagine that we get to spend time on Earth and do this no matter where or when we are.

#the poem that's like 'in the dark times will there be singing? yes / about the dark times' is half-right #'maladaptive daydreaming' okay put down the phone.#my daydreams have literally inspired me to live a better life lol

Free will experiment failed!

#cheeseburgerboy #from putting up the bunny poster i made to walking outside the house to sing. in the dark for some reason #my dad was talking to me so long it got dark outside #after the conversation was over i realized going back upstairs to me room would cause me break down #i thought it would be good to just go outside and think #i walked back inside and started to make apples and honey #i didn't tell them i was going outside so they were worried #. my dad talking anyone in this house for 30 minutes causes them to short circuit in so many different ways #but also apple #apple fail

How do you possibly write that nostalgic feeling of times gone past, reflecting in one's bed during a starry, rainy night? It's genuinely such a hard feeling to describe in words.

#though personally #i always feel this way listening to a song i became attached to at a certain time #it always reminds me of that event but also back when my room was my own and not shared w my sister #and of starry silent wintery/autumnal evenings right after meeting with friends and it's getting dark #when you feel lonely but really happy and giddy that you got to hang out with them and mess around like children again #but if it's really old and i mean like a decade or so old #i'm reminded of school discos in year 5 or 6 and playing tag and hide-and-seek w my best friend at the time #how we'd sing those songs on a bright summer holiday afternoon as we came walking back to her house from the major park we both lived near #and how we'd feel so on top of the world #and now i wonder how she's doing after she moved away #i wonder how everyone's doing after being almost 5 years apart #or of how even during lockdown i would be sat listening to minecraft osts and taking long walks down said major park #around the time i began to write and plan ootf and being reminded how thoughtful and clear headed i used to be #i'm a bit nostalgic if you can't tell #:')

Ok but hear me out: what if OFMD season 2 is just inexplicably a MUSICAL

Obviously we start with Frenchie as the maestro/narrator (in fact maybe it’s all just an elaborate fever dream of his) but more specifically we get a Summer Nights-style duet between Ed and Stede where Ed plays Danny “putting on airs” Zuko and is flanked by Izzy, Fang, and Ivan as his T-Birds while the gang on the dinghy are the swooning Pink Ladies to Stede’s wistful and crooning Sandy.

Additional brain rot includes a Somewhere Out There-inspired ballad between Olu (romantically in the moonlight) and Jim (singing into portholes as they sneak around trying to murder Ed). THEN when Stede and the others finally catch up to The Revenge, they pull a John Cusack in Say Anything and sing a group number as Stede looks up longingly at Ed’s windows and possibly holding up Frenchie boom box-style (I mean it is Frenchie’s dream afterall) and then everybody gets back on the ship and dances and lives happily ever after and obviously Stede ends up with a makeover that puts him back in black leather and yeah that’s it that’s the end

Twitches the threads of my web in the direction of the cute, possibly slightly older than me retail-working boy who i never seem to get a chance to actually have another conversation with (SIGH) but hasn't escaped me yet (he works at the same place)

#today i walked in as he was closing and he was totally listening to some indie former-emo-kid sounding music & singing #i gave him the little half-smile/nod when i went to check out but his coworker summoned me to the register instead ~_~ BUT!#i think it might be slightly mutual bc he made a point to come & stand by the register to continue talking to his coworker #even though they'd been talking across the store before... Hmm.#literally through the whole transaction! he had no reason to stay! he went from stocking shelves to hovering to 'continue his conversation'#i'm not afraid to drop my number on him but his coworker is a middle-aged woman & i didn't want him to have to live it down lol. Next time #he's kinda short & he wears glasses & he has dark curly hair & sleepy eyes & just slightly too much facial hair for me #and today i found out his name & he dropped in the fact that he 'wasn't from around here' in his convo with his coworker.#Anyway i'm normal i'm done he just seems corruptible & cute to me
