godddd there will never be a show a like nbc hannibal, this guy’s super mentally unwell, he’ll be working for the police at these crime scenes. artistic murder scene. and this is his trusted therapist. therapist making a delicious meal out of human meat. they’re the fathers of this girl now, and there’s a lot of mooses. everybody exclusively speaks in metaphors and/or cannibal jokes. this might all be very dark but look at our opening!!!!

#txt #u get blinded every time #hannibal #i'm occasionally rewatching it with my friends bc one hasn't seen it and godddd #i always miss it but i miss it even more when i watch it #there just isn't any equivalent it's hard to put it into words but it was just so different #the way it was shot and they spoke and filmed #it's hard to put it into words but the way it didn't take itself too seriously why being a serious show like #it was goofy distinguished insanity???#the vibe just can never be matched #the closest we got is iwtv which i LOVE but it's not IT it's so different #i'll be looking longing hoping for a show like hannibal the rest of my life #tho i did love the way it ended so it really shouldn't get renewed #i respect shows that end so much #saskia talks

ngl i need jack back on doctor who and i need him to mention ianto. like when he gives his “i had a boyfriend who…” anecdotes but he actually mentions ianto’s name (he kept his promise and never forgot him)

#is jack going to be back on doctor who? likely not #but i can dream y’all #recast him or something idc #say he got some surgery bc he was still aging but didn’t want to look old when he still had the rest of his existence left to live idk 💀#they’d have to do a really good job matching john’s acting vibe though #anyway. back to the point #i need some ianto mention pleaseeeeeeeeeeplease #he said he could never forget so let’s see it on screen please and thank u 👍🏼#normal about them btw #also i just finished watching torchwood #what the hellllllllllll #anyway #torchwood #ianto jones #captain jack harkness #janto #doctor who

#when i was first coloring him in he was gonna be golden chinchilla colored but then i was like ehhh jonah magnus should be red/orange but #elias should be gray ...so i just desaturated what i already did instead of recoloring lol but #he is now supposed to be shaded silver lol #but thats why his coat pattern is on the darker side compared to what it *should* be #og elias bouchard coming from an important/roch family and while whole thing with thinking he just *deserves* stuff bc of his upbringing.#etc. -> he is purebred and matches the breed standards etc for a scottish fold of his color #obviously the eye color doesn't matter because. ahaha #i thought elias fit the Scottish fold vibes because: Scottish folds are known for looking sort of like owls and having intense eyes #and the cat body/face type (also present in british shorthairs) to me gives off sort of... unnasumming vibes?#like ahaha yes i am a boring boss who loves paperwork look at how unnasumming i am season 1-2 elias y'know #trying to think of what cat breed jonah would be. and also jon gerry etc you know all the other characters i like #would it be boring to have multiple british shorthairs #i mean..#Michael shelley/distortion is a laperm that's all I know #i didn't particularly care with the personality attributes associated with eliascat because it didn't need to fit his personality on account #of not being his original body. but i do try to keep in mind the best personality/look/etc. cat attributes as a whole for a character #also sometimes get obsessed with jt making historical and geographical sense but then it just limits me greatly to a point im not into it #so i don't care about specific breeds in that respect lol #tma #my art #elias bouchard #the magnus archives #some notes looking back(made it 2 hours ago but still looking back ok..) on it now are that i feel like elias would never choose this breed #for his next bodyhop because of the inherent health issues in scottish folds. I saw the breed was created in like the early 1960s and #assumed that maybe the health issues wouldn't have been common knowledge until later enough for jonah to be unaware of them but actually no #there's legislation about it like 6 years later LOL so jonah would..maybe not make this choice #i guess in the future when drawing i will just make him a British shorthair #my catTMA is simultaneously 'they are just regular cats or like all show cats or something' and 'exact tma plot but as intelligent cats'#LOL its just vague in my mind idk..also maybe jon can be an Abyssinian #ALSO WHAT WAS I THINKING 'jonah may not have been aware about x thing' like did i...did i forget. me 2 hours ago was dumb as rocks

So. I love this. The way Yuri snickers at Flynn showing his real self. The way he, without hesitation, says "yeah" to the idea that he would die in Flynn's place.

But the most important part of this entire thing, which was changed in the dub, is how Yuri specifically jokes that Flynn is trying to abandon him, and Flynn returns and tells Don he had no intention of abandoning Yuri.

Yuri does not hear this. Flynn knows that. But Flynn uses the exact same term Yuri used earlier, as if it's his answer to Yuri and saying no, I would never abandon you.

For reference:

Personally I just... love the weight of it. How Flynn will say something about Yuri that Yuri won't hear, but he still speaks it out into existence because it's how he really feels.

Just because Yuri won't hear it doesn't mean he won't say it, and in a way that's even more powerful. He's not looking for the credit of saying it. He's not looking to be recognized for saying it. He's not only expressing how he feels about Yuri somewhere that Yuri himself will hear him.

They're just his real, honest feelings, and he'll admit them even if Yuri's not within earshot.

#GTF Vesperia Clips #Fluri #classic Vesperia dub trying to hide all the more detailed intimacy between them tbh #y'all are gonna see it even more when I get around to post the huge posts I'm doing #going through the entire game with the changes they made #and how HEAVILY most of the drastic changes pertain to Flynn and their relationship #like. there's really no reason to change these matching scenes in the dub unless they're doing it on purpose #meanwhile they're the sweetest thing in the original and I'll never get over these scenes being matching scenes #also bc like. this is so important for their dynamic going forward into arc 2 #also partly why I truly believe they'd choose each other over the world in specific contexts #but that's a story for another time LOL. for now just know Flynn has gone on record #to say he would never abandon Yuri right to Don Whitehorse's face #anyway you ever get that feeling of like. when you find out from a friend that #someone said smth nice abt you? but you didn't know they said it?#like you KNOW they're saying nice/good things abt you to other ppl now? that's the vibe I get from this #that he's not just saying it to Yuri's face. he says the important things /to others/ as well #he's not trying to score extra brownie points by using sweet words where he knows Yuri will hear him #to me that's the most honest form of affection. saying your feelings out loud where they won't hear you #Flynn also proved himself before saying it as if the idea was to show not just tell #I think Yuri understands when not joking that Flynn wouldn't abandon him #but Flynn is making sure that not just Yuri knows through his actions but that others know it too #and ultimately Yuri doesn't need to hear it. he can believe it because he can see it #Yuri doesn't need to hear it bc he understands Flynn's feelings without needing to hear it

drayton and carmine feel like they'd be perfect for a cheesy fake marriage, "need to get married for my dying grandparents' sake" storyline because consider this:

assuming we're nice and we let kieran get the girl before he graduates BBA, that means he's likely married by then. probably has a kid too. naturally, if carmine is single, that'd be worrisome for said grandparent, particularly if one of them is already dead, because there's "no one to take care of her"

so maybe it's kieran's kid's birthday. she's already flirted argued with drayton, and was only stopped because little ruby/hokuto told them to stop fighting. so when the attention turns to her, she blurts out that she's dating drayton

he's like "for sure, nothing suspicious here."

and so they have to pretend they don't have feelings for each other still, even though they never officially dated

#pokemon scarvi #rival carmine #trainer drayton #carmine x drayton #do they have a ship name yet?#idk i just like them a lot #and i've read too many fake marriage manhwas recently #i could also see them as exes who never quite got over each other #because they drifted and after that no one matched their vibe as well as they did together #it ends in a wedding #i'm not sure if iris would have kids by then?#but maybe there can be two flower girls #and the ringbearer is kieran's son but it's actually kieran bc he fell asleep in dad's arms #carmine cries a little harder when she's waiting to walk down the aisle and her brother makes his sleeping son congratulate her #like just waving his arm cutely #juli is a bridesmaid too so she side-eyes her husband a little like in the amused mom way y'know?

i fear i may be entering my far cry 5 phase again

#i blame the warm weather because i first played fc5 in the summer of 2018 so now i associate it with summer #i miss that game!! i made so many good friends from being apart of the community back then #and i don't think any game will ever match the vibes mood and aesthetic i got when playing it #it just has such a special place in my heart i love it so much #and of course the soundtrack will never be matched to me lol i still listen to it all the time #it's one of those games i wish i could erase from my mind so i can play it for the first time all over again #i love the feeling of getting back into a previous hyperfixation like oh boy here we go again #anyway nerd rant over

I love how some of my most used recipes are super vague and then every time I try to bake them I despair over simple things such as 'why hasn't anyone written down a baking time'

#noopa rambles #it's because the friend whose recipe it is originally said 'well I bake it based on Vibes(tm)'#which. does not match well with my personality jdgshsgd #it's been so long since I've baked this specific thing I have no memory of the vague baking time vibes #I think it'll work out it looked pretty good when I last checked it #about to take the littel pie out of the oven very soon #let's hope it turned out well #at least it looks good but I'll have to wait for it to cool down a smidge before I can eat it #let it set a bit etc etc #I did write a vague time down this time for future reference #like. you don't need to stick to the Exact Time bc ovens are different etc etc #but when you have something written down at least you got a baseline for what you're working with #also not to shame my mom's recipes but mom's never have any info on which level of the oven they go #and they Barely got any instructions on what you need to do with the ingredients #like. do I need to whip the sugar and butter or sugar and eggs or not? who knows not the recipe!!!#I do have a few tried and true family heirlooms which I know how to make #but mostly lemme just use the storebought recipe book and the few excellent recipes I've pilfered from friends

"you have general anxiety, you are deficient in several things, and you may also have autism" local doctor states to me. referral for assessment and cognitive ball therapy pending, however

#maggles ramblings #i didn't know which mix of the two 'c b t' acronyms to use so i made my own. no balls will be undergoing therapy in my health plan though #ANYWAY !! due to the anxiety bit she knew i disliked unplanned change. so asked me if my interests were kinda narrow #and I'm like. absolutely. there are specific games n shows i like and that's all my brain knows or cares about at any given time #and she asked how good i am at picking up social cues. and i wasn't sure abt that one but i know ive always been more of a social observer #in primary school especially i was like. 'must watch peer interactions so i can spot any traps that may lead to me being made fun of'#like i didn't get why it happened; i just tried to observe and avoid what i could #and i still feel like i don't always Understand most of my peers. my best friends have always been the ones who also weren't great socially #bc with them there was never any 'secretly judging you/not interested in what ur saying/can tell this conversation isn't natural for u'#kind of vibe. idk it's tough like i feel like i am Some level of good at social interaction but also feel like im just pretending to Get It #and there's just. certain people who match my vibe and won't think im strange or too passionate about the things i like. those r my friends #but yea anyway she said some of it could be the anxiety but it was just! a relief honestly. to know that Maybe there's a reason for #how I've been feeling a lot. for a lot of. life i guess #+ even if it's not that and it Is just All Anxiety; it'd still be a relief knowing precisely how it's impacted my mindset for things #but like also it'd make sense to me if it was both. bc i do indeed get v nervous about not knowing How to Do certain social situations #in new situations i often plan what im gonna say and write notes bc if i don't know what to say or do i get overwhelmed and cry easily #but YEA it was just. cool hearing that I'm not just Completely unfounded in my suspicions about that yknow #afterwards even my dad said he's thought of it as a possiblity for years and I'm like WHY DIDN'T U TELL MEEEE #but anyway. day is being had

Sighh Another day of needing to make up fey related stupids about my characters myself because they're never basegame anywhere

#and no i dont mean like 'this is a warlock with a fey patron ' or someone with a bit of fey in their bloodline-#no no no. that's not what we're after here #even the dnd concept of fey eladrin hardly matches what i'm after #just. fey are so fucking versatile . you can do coming back endlessly horror (alfhart)#uncanny valley horror-#fuckin dionysian madness if you damn so please.#or you can make them cool /ethereal in an otherworldly /strange way #OR straight up beasts and creatures!#THEY'RE JUST SO!#i LOVE THEM SO MUCH #and THEY'RE NEVER AN OPTION #Makes me sad :/#I've never given half a fuck about angels and demons aesthetically or thematically so the divine vibes of something like the aasimar #doesnt do anything for me. something something grew up baptised but not christian in a theocracy #like if a companion or npc is that - that's great that's cool that works for me! But i'm not itching to play one #..kinda the same with tieflings honestly. lgbt community please dont excommunicate me for that one #sighhh sylvan trickster and delusion will have to do i guess #river rambles

I wish I was able to explain the concept of ruth a lot better bc then I could be like "this is a ruth moment" "progressing onto the next stage of the ruth arc" etc and everyone would know what I mean

#having a week+ long feud with various couriers over a missing john leyton compilation album is a certified ruth moment #i can't explain it but tis #she's so hard to explain she's my oc she's a self insert she's a prophecy she's my future self she's me in the present she's a concept she #she's basically a joke me and my sister had of a 31 year old woman who's someone's weird aunt #but she was based on a pic of me when i was 19. and then we were like that's just me in the future #and we'd say random facts about ruth based on vibes #but then so many of them came true??#a few years ago one of us was like ''i can see ruth becoming really invested in coronation street''#and look where i am now. 28 years deep into it #''ruth definitely fancies some early 60s pop singer and buys all his albums and like. her facebook photo is a pic of them together''#and like. I've never met john leyton and currently don't have any albums bc i'm having drama with royal mail atm but other than that?#''ruth has a youtube channel where she reviews and compares biscuits from different supermarkets'' is the most recent prediction #it's too recent that it is nowhere near happening yet but. it's only a matter of time #also ruth used to have two golden retrievers named lily and jasmine. but it's slowly turning into one cocker spaniel named lilyjasmine #but at this point lily and jasmine are not dogs. they are a concept. a way of life. a vibe #two matching salt and pepper containers. two moths that fly into the house. a pair of flip flops. they are all lily and jasmine #anyway #ramble #ruth vibes

I think. I have just had an “ohhhh” moment. and that I am probably demiromantic

#Okok here’s the thing. I have in the past been thought I was maybe or likely demiromantic. but didn’t have my Ohh moment abt it till now #Cause like all my previous relationships started kinda naturally with people I was becoming friends with/knew for 1+ months before dating #And I never had to think about it cause it always just felt really natural & nothing to think about. like nothing outta the ordinary #But now I’ve been On The Apps & as fun as it can be to chat with ppl a bit. I do not desire to go out with anyone I “meet” on there #I went out with one person who was incredibly nice & fun & respectful. Just all around great person that on paper matched My Type #And I was trying to be like somewhat flirty or at least seem open to romantic vibes. But it felt forced #I thought it was because I just wasn’t ready to date yet. But there’s now been several instances where I’ve made “exceptions” to that #And what do they all have in common? I’ve known the ppl that I thought I’d like to date & got to know them over (usually) a few months #2 of them were friends that I had crushes on back when I first got to know them. One was a classmate I had an entire semester to get to kno #Also just in the process of typing this stuff out & talking to a friend about it-#I’ve gone from “I’m probably demiromantic” to “oh shit I’m definitely very demiromantic”

A short quick question to my mom about the phantom of the opera, and she's for phantom/Christine.

She's a big fan of Michael Crawford's Phantom.

#me?#i never read the og nor broadway #i was a fan of a webcomic with christine living with Sarah of labyrinth fame #it was a fan comic offshoot of another comic with Jareth phantom and others living together #both had different fictional characters living in this apartment complex #the phantom ends up with someone else that matched his vibe pretty well #i wonder if its still running #there was even a dub for it too #favourite was when Sophie & Howl visited #hilarious commentary on fandom tropes and calling out how creepy the stalking was #raoul was a sweet guy who was exhausted by the supernatural bs #he got called out too but the dude was really just a guy #you love your fiancee and the phantom is there #i honestly feel I'd go the polycule route with poor raoul pulling the other two into reality #guys can we have one night without mysticism pls #also raoul phantom is hilarious #you are after an incredible opera singer #but no #you got her regular ass boyfriend #🎉🎉🎉#noon types #noon types in tag

How To Balance Your Daytime and Nighttime Activities So That You Don't Burn Yourself Out More Than You Already Have

It had been a long few minutes since he'd opened the door and there were a lot of questions running through Dick's head. Most pressing of which was how this kid seems to have information he should not have.

"How did you..?" he asked, but the words wouldn't leave completely. There's so much he wants to know, so much he wants to ask.

"How do I what?" Danny tilted his head like the child he seems to be is.

"How do you know?" Dick knows he sounds weak. There's no hiding that, but there are a lot of implications in what the kid has said so far and none of it is painting a very happy picture for him.

"Oh!" Danny had the audacity to smile, "You want to know how I know you moonlight as a vigilante!" And of course he knows. Dick knows he knows, but he'd held a little bit of hope that the child Danny was mistaken. Danny's smile softened a bit as he explained, "Your hair and voice match up in both jobs almost perfectly. Not to mention your build and how you hold yourself. There's also the matter of your overall vibes, but that's not something living beings can normally pick up on." Excuse him? "Well, not living humans, at least, so no worries on that end!"

"Excuse me?" Dick was fairly sure his heart just stopped beating for a moment there.

"Anyway, I was a hero back home for a while, too. I know what it's like to have to walk the tightrope between maintaining a civilian cover and a hero persona. I know how it feels to have to keep secrets from everyone because anyone who knows will be in danger." he rambled, Though, admittedly, our circumstances are quite different. I was working as a hero all hours of the day as well as going to school. You only have to worry about properly balancing between day and night jobs. Either way, me having more to bounce between just makes me al the more qualified to help you!"

Oh. Oh he did not like that. He didn't like a single thing that just came out of the kid's mouth. Because that's what he is, a kid. "Are you...Are you alright?"

"Not in the slightest," Danny admitted with an even smaller smile. Then, it brightened, not quite to a grin, but to something similar, "But I'm here to make sure you are."

He gets points for being honest, but Dick felt his heart shatter. He knew for a fact that he'd never worked with this kid before. He also knew that the Justice League didn't know about him. If they did, he would've been picked up and dropped with either the Young Justice team or the Titans.

Dick wasn't going to ask why he became a hero because that's not his place. It's more of a 'third mission with the team' kind of questions, anyway. Most of the heroes didn't have many options when they took up the mantle. Asking what Danny can do is a more appropriate question, but he wasn't going to ask that, either.

"Now that that's out of the way," Danny turned a few pages from the table of contents to another one that was topped with 'Why Sleep Scheduling Is Important' in the blue glitter pen that Dick was starting to suspect he favored. "You're not getting enough sleep. Following you around - no one's been able to find me for a while, so don't worry about that - for the last two weeks has given me some really worrisome information on you."

Dick was worrying. He was worrying a lot and even more questions were coming to the forefront of his mind.

"Your dayjob is as an officer on the Bludhaven Police Force, or BPD for short." He was looking over the page he'd turned to very aptly and Dick realized that the kid had notes written on him. "The average hours per week for police across the country is forty hours. Gotham and Bludhaven are the exceptions. As a member of the BPD, you work a solid two days and two hours. Six nights a week, you work as Nightwing from eight in the evening to three in the morning. The last day, you take off, which is good. No deserable pattern, so good on you for that. Regardless, that's seven hour nights and ten hour days, with one day off and one day on call as an officer. Seven hours are now left in your day for personal time, eating, and sleeping. That's not a healthy way to live."

Oh, god, the kid had honest to god notes on him! What the hell!

Danny didn't even skip a beat as he pulled Dick's attention back to him and his binder. "I've drawn up a schedule for you to follow." The back of the page had a meticulously drawn schedule, complete with blocks of time to eat, sleep, work both jobs, travel, personal time, and still have a bit extra left over. It was titled 'Ideal End Result' in green marker. "Drastic changes right away will only affect you negatively, so we're starting off smaller." The next page over had another schedule titled 'Where To Begin'. "I've only pulled one hour from your Nightwing hours because I know important that time is to you and the city. I am, however, going to be having you submit an appeal to your boss to cut back your hours from fifty a week to forty a week. That way, you'll only be working eight hours a day and not ten. You'll still be on call for one day, and you'll have that last day off. Altogether, you'll be going be going from working seventeen hours a day to fourteen hours a day. Nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, and eight in the evening to two in the morning. Not including breaks at work or travel time. It opens up a few more hours for you to sleep!"

"You really think the chief is going to pull back my hours?" Dick raised an eyebrow in question.

"He will if he knows what's good for him."

"You know I can arrest you for that threat, right?"

"Yeah, but you won't." And, damn it, he's right.

Although, there was now another thing he had to know. "How to you plan on enforcing this schedule of yours?"

Danny seemed to have been waiting for this. He got a gleam in his eye as he pulled a black folder from his bag, not breaking eye contact with Dick. He placed it on the table and pushed it across. "Congratulations, it's a boy."
