Study With Me - 2 Hours - On-screen timer, no breaks, no music

there’s something minty going on in strangerville… ⚗️

The fancab tag is pretty empty did you know that,

“You tell me today you believe in destiny. And back then… Did you believe back then? Oh, yes, you must have. You must have believed that destiny would bring us together. The fact you did nothing to quicken this encounter ought to be attributed to that.”

A study of beloved J. C. Leyendecker’s Consolation for Galaxy’s Worst Mother’s Day. (Last part to render was Maul’s legs and I just needed to be done with it. Also, I’m on vacation with friends, I had food, and I’m drunk, also a little bit high. So, hm, I cut myself some slack.)

I wish we got to see a confrontation between Maul and Talzin. Some unpacking is desperately needed.

In this post I talked a bit more on the study process. If you like my stuff (and Maul, and cats), considering joining my moot there :3

hey guys you know what's better than ONE unhinged scientist ?

hampter >_<

I made an edit because one day I’ll probably write a PhD thesis length analysis of the parallels between Serena Joy and Alicent and how Alicent could’ve been both an iconic sympathetic villain and a blueprint for female antagonist to rival even Serena if the show wasn’t so obsessed with justifying her

There’s something about donning a white lab coat and using a microscope that makes you feel like a real scientist — but maybe I’m just romanticizing all this again.

Last night I cried, and I mean UGLY cried at a foul hour because I love Albert Wesker and I hate it. (/Lh)

Like first off, the man's name is Albert??? Need I say more? But then, his name is kinda gothic when you say his full name. I don't know if that's just me. But just simply referring to him as Albert is goofy as fuck considering he's supposed to be a villain in RE. Not only that, he's got paper thin lips. How's he gonna get a kiss kiss??☝️🤨/ref

But it wasn't only that, mind you, it's also because this absolute FUCK, this evil David Bowie and Johnny bravo looking mother fucker, has consumed my life and every waking thought that sometimes it genuinely hurts and that's what I hate about being autistic. It's just how much I want to consume of something once it becomes a special interest and/or hyperfixation. On top of that, Wesker is a special case for me because I found out I technically trauma bonded to him as a comfort character. For the past year and a half now, I got back into RE because of the RE4R and began hyperfixating on said game then it spiraled into hyperfixating about the Wesker's storyline, with project W and so on. I already have a tendency to go back to RE periodically every like two or so years but this has low-key been probably the longest I've consistently fixated on RE without a single break in-between. My dad and I bonded over resident evil, he's one of the people who got me into RE, albeit he watched the movies and I got into the game's. Which means RE means a whole lot to me and since he passed my fixation on it only heightened as a source of comfort. I also found out when you have a comfort character during a horrible period in your life, you very well can trauma bond with said character. So that means out of all characters, I have trauma bonded to Albert Wesker and I am two seconds away from tweaking. 🤩

On top of that, every time @rainbowroadonsteroids sends me something remotely Wesker related I start punching my wall and they bully me for it smh./Lh+nm

Shout out to my favorite human nightlight, Albert Wesker. ☝️🗿

Y'all are gonna think I'm so weird.

But I'm running with this idea I've had for a while for my mcl ocs. Well, other than the actual other mcl ocs I've made.

It's part lazy, part bizarre.

Clones.

Yep, clones.

My MCL NG oc is a clone of the original Puku, but different. I haven't figured out the details yet, but it's like what I did with Pukun, Puku's male clone. It has the idea of a type of clone theory idea of nature vs nurture. The DNA and nature of the puku clones is the same, but the nurture is always a bit different depending on circumstances. Puku "prime" is the parent of all the clones made, but Puku "prime" had a different parentage and upbringing than the clones. Not to mention, the events of each mcl game has different outcomes for clone Puku.

This Puku has -teal- hair and is a zoomer, I guess. Raised by Puku "prime" and has the existential grappling of dealing with being a clone in general.

There's... still a lot of ironing out to do. Like... Where does Kentin fit into all this? How should I incorporate the family given to Puku 2.0 in New Generation?

Why am I giving this plot to an MCL OC!??

lol

I do not like Enver Gortash, I want to sublimate him and trap him beneath a bell jar. Subtle difference.

Question do y’all see evil potential in this guy, yes or no

(Quick Kagaya scribble)

So, in a situation in which both Spider and Kiri have been captured by the RDA and Quaritch proposes to use them both as guides in their search for Jake, how long do you think it would take for either him or someone else in the recom team to realize she is Grace's daughter, I don't think neither of them would say it willingly, specially if they know that Quaritch was the reason she died.

How do you think he would feel about it, specially seeing how close she and Spider are when they hated each other's guts when she was alive / he was still a human.

I think in a way, quaritch would realize it first even he didn't know it. he knows that face, that wit, that sharp tongue; kiri is so much like grace he would be put off by her in a way he didn't understand.

its the necklace that makes that makes him truly realize who the girl is. its the same ratty thing that grace had gotten from a group of na'vi kids all those years ago. now this kid who is worming her way into his skull and making him rethink everything he has ever and will ever know, is wearing it, and he hated how it all made sense. though he makes the realization he never tells anyone, though they all sorta 'know' like quaritch had, and she does eventually admit it.

by the time the realization is made and acknowledged, quaritch has had time to reflect and devolve on who he was, who the RDA wants him to be, and who he wants to be. he's becoming enough of his own person to regret what he did to grace, part of him hates it actually. being around her daughter, a daughter he doesn't fully understand how she exists, who never knew her mother because of him, it makes it all so much worse.

he doesn't know how to feel, what he's supposed to feel, what he's allowed to feel. he holds no ill will towards to her or her relationship to spider, but the more he sees of grace within kiri, the harder it is to be around her.

now our intuitive girl sees this, knows she's breaking him, knows he's made the connection as to who her mother is; she uses this. she knows what Eywa wills her to do and does it beautifully. she uses all of this information to the extreme, she plans on breaking every last bit of quaritch the RDA built, and bringing out every ounce of this new na'vi Miles.

this leads to an interesting dynamic, one not unwelcome, but not easy. its a path of change and healing, acknowledging things that may have been better left buried, its not fun by any right.
