#their facial expressions says a lot
Text
#back then when tfa was still fresh#the ad hype was so intense#especially in the reylo side#i don't get it then#but now i get it with ljw on aos#i can see it#both actors brings nuance to their respective characters#just even a second of their screentime#their facial expressions says a lot#and both are tall#and has a sharp features on their faces#which adds masculinity beauty just sayingg#ljw has a fruitful career as ad or else 🔪🔪#meh texts

"I wonder what I'd be without you"
#just wanted to emphasize the Master's expressions here#the biggest 'his gaze softened' to have ever 'his gaze softened'-ed#you can see him going from confused to the moment when he's finally touched with realization by ten's word with the eyebrow raise#and how he's visibly holding back the tears and simply can't contain a smile that only grows bigger#and the way he looks at then by the end really has a mix of emotions but for me it screams longing#because with the way he says “yeah” and his thoughtful expression at the beginning he very likely was reminiscing their memories together#and he comes to realization that yeah. what were they without each other.#or you can say that he just finally felt touched that ten isn't willing to let go of the 2 of them together after everything the master did#considering this was the first time we saw him in a moment of vulnerability. he was scared even#he opened himself very briefly for the first time and ten still showed compassion towards him#okay this got way longer that I thought but I think a LOT was spoken here even with no words#a big applause to john simm's facial acting here of course#thoschei#tensimm#best enemies#doctor who#tenth doctor#10th doctor#simm!master

rewatching S6 in bits and pieces for current fic and ahhhhhhhhhh but the whole Jack, Diana, Mosley and Lizzie final dinner is so *viscerally* fucking satisfying on every sensory and intellectual and emotional level of consumption.
#every single movement facial expression breath flick of an eye the choice of 'mosley' not 'mr mosley'#the way mosley says 'lizzie' for the first time#jack's buildup and his mad fucking innuendo just before diana and oswald show#particularly how every drink is taken and by whom and when#lizzie constantly holding herself back the entire time from Saying Something all these flinches and half-breaths#insane#INSANE#as much as the end of S3 is roaringly wrenchingly furiously emotionally good#this dinner is something else#this whole episode is pretty much something else though fffffffffffff#jack's patronising constant reference to tommy as if he's a much younger man/boy when you look at these two guys and jack looks younger??#by design i am sure#in the scene with the tie before the dinner.the way tommy's face says one thing while facing away from lizzie#then he puts on that mask as he turns to face her and you can SEE HIM DO THAT jesus#it would a writing exercise and a half to actually try to capture that scene in writing and work out what needs to be said/described#to carry the same effect because @coffeeatnight23 -> this scene is totally Tommy ripping his own heart out then eating it with relish :)#it *is* the saddest thing but also a fucking *reclamation* of something that tommy hasn't had since his suicide attempt. there's lots of#small reclamations of self that happen in post-Ruby S6 i seem to recall. despite flicks old trauma/foggy memory wandering also this-#-sort of structural shift/acceptance he is who he is and that is how he has agency (not solely money?)#anyway it's not triumph but there is *something* that i haven't found the word for yet#acceptance is one word but there's something more vicarious and dark in it that acceptance doesn't connote

Ok so here’s my list of videogames I’m going through rn:
Half-Life series
Batman Arkham
And now Zelda
All of which I know jack shit about the stories or spoilers. I’ve started Batman Arkham Asylum and I’m in the middle of Half Life 2 Episode 1. So far I’m having a blast
#i tried using a controller for Batman Arkham Asylum but quickly went fuck it and used my keyboard instead#how do y’all do it??? there’s so many fucking button combinations?!!!#i tried to remember the patterns but it was really diffficult and keyboard simplifies a lot so keyboard it is#and WHY IS THERE SO MANY RIDDLER BULLSHITS TO COLLECT??!!#240?!!!! WHY#so far I have little over 25% of them and it’s going to be a pain in the ASS collecting the stuff I need to go back through levels#i will say the facial expressions for Arkham Asylum are super stiff and the dialogue is very very rough#but visual and gameplay wise this shit aged wonderfully for a game made in 2008#it’s very neat and fun and I’m having a blast but I really don’t feel the motivation story wise to do what I need to do??? like in Half Life#you got backstory and motivation and everything#with Arkham Asylum you’re just in the Asylum and you now have to stop Joker but it’s not as pressing of an issue#I’m also not used to open world games#like sure you can’t go TOO far but you can explore an entire island?!!! how cool is that?!?!!#I’m so used to railroad shooters that this is so neat I’ve never played an open world game#bones speaks

ate a drawing because @thetruecthulhu9 said I was bluffing, it was bitter and took rlly long to chew but i have proven that I was, in fact, not bluffing
if tomorrow i am deceased, i need everyone to know that I am able and ready to die on my hills
#dear&true cthulhu#plague says stuff#i don't regret it but i also learned that apparently my facial expression don't look like my internal process at all#and that eating paper takes a LOT longer than i remember#gonna eat a whole lemon over this bc it tasted bitter when it tasted bland last time#ergo: i have lost my immunity and must eat lemons again

Post-Therum crew meeting!
I really miss the post-mission crew meetings in 2 and 3. In 2 it's just Miranda and Jacob talking at Shepard and in 3 I think the only time it happens is post-Thessia, when everyone's upset.
This one involves Liara - who sure is Having a Day - and PROTHEANS and Merrick just happening to have the answer to the question Liara's been spending fifty years trying to solve.
Joker was fabulous ("The Normandy isn't equipped to land in exploding volcanoes. They fry our sensors and melt our hull. Just for future reference") and shocked Liara a bit because hey, they almost died.
Apparently coping with humor is not a common trait in asari academia - Liara's comment was "It must be a human thing."
Much like Ash doesn't have much experience dealing with aliens, Liara doesn't have much experience dealing with humans.
She was grateful for being saved from the geth and the volcano (and no doubt the Prothean bubble, although she doesn't say that).
Kaidan asked if she knew what the Conduit was; Liara didn't know.
Liara: Only that it was somehow connected to the Prothean extinction. That is my real area of expertise. I have spent the last fifty years trying to find out what happened to them.
Merrick absolutely looked her up on the extranet before heading to Therum, so he has no grounds later to be all offended when she looks him up on the extranet.
This was prompted by a very awkward conversation with Joker earlier where Joker went straight into defensive mode and Merrick was a little startled because he hadn't known Joker was sick because he didn't read Joker's file first (because Anderson was all "why don't you talk to everyone before reading their files"). So naturally his reaction to getting a mission to find an asari scientist was "look her up on the extranet to get some idea of who I'll run into."
His main takeaway was that he was impressed by the sheer amount of research she's done, and he did notice that there were also multiple "here's why my esteemed colleague Dr. T'Soni is dead wrong" papers, which did not seem to slow Liara down any.
At this point he asked how old she was because wow, fifty years of research.
Liara: I hate to admit it, but I am only a hundred and six.
Ash chimed in and said she hoped she looked that good when she was Liara's age XD.
Liara: A century may seem a long time to a short-lived species like yours. But among the asari, I am barely considered more than a child.
Ohhhh, that is some Unfortunate phrasing coming from a character who's written as a love interest.
The intended reading (or what I *hope* the intended reading is) is what she says next: "That is why my research has not received the attention it deserves. Because of my youth, other asari scholars tend to dismiss my theories on what happened to the Protheans."
I do think it's significant that 1) other asari dismiss her and 2) the Normandy crew does not, which must make a lovely change and I'm just going to ignore the phrasing in that previous line because she acts like and is treated like an adult by everyone. Other asari in the same stage of life she's in are running around the galaxy being mercs or dancers or whatever and are also treated like adults.
The Normandy crew - aside from some mostly offscreen initial suspicion because she's Benezia's daughter - treats her like a Prothean expert and she gets referred to by her title and last name several times.
(The first conversation has Shepard calling her Liara from the get-go. Merrick absolutely gravely refers to her as "Dr. T'Soni" when he's talking to or about her most of the time, which is mostly out of respect - he'd do that even if he didn't like her - and a little bit because he's sticking with formality to hide the fact that he's attracted to her. Liara refers to him by his title for similar reasons).
Anyway, Merrick listened to her talk for a while about PROTHEANS and how "the galaxy is built on a cycle of extinction" and "I've dedicated my life to finding out why the Protheans disappeared" and finally told her the Reapers wiped out them out.
Liara: The-- The Reapers? But I have never heard of-- How do you know this? What evidence do you have?
Here comes some random human casually having the answer to the problem that she's spent half of her life working on, whoops.
Merrick explained about the Prothean beacon ("It burned a vision into my brain" - that. uh. sure is a fun choice of words - and "I'm still trying to make sense of what it all means").
Liara fortunately knew a bit more about Prothean beacons and talked about them for a bit and how "finding one that still works is extremely rare." Ooof, that is painful given what's on Thessia.
And then she talked about how the beacons were only meant to work with Prothean physiology and got a little starry-eyed at Merrick (who spent most of this meeting letting her talk and looking grim because that's just his resting >:| face.)
Liara: I am amazed you were able to make sense of it at all. A lesser mind would have been destroyed by the process. You must be remarkably strong-willed, Commander.
My interpretation of Ash's rather snippy "This isn't helping us find Saren. Or the Conduit" line at this point is that it's related to the love triangle, so I'm ignoring it. Presumably she still redirected the conversation at this point since it's gotten off-track but didn't say it Like That, then Liara said she didn't have any info on how to find the Conduit or Saren.
But of course she's sticking around anyway, hooray!
Shepard: I don't know why Saren wanted you out of the picture. But I think we're a lot better off bringing you along.
Yeah!
The Saren's-out-to-get-Liara plot point gets totally dropped after this. I would not have minded some Fallen Order-esque "mercs occasionally pop out of nowhere to attack you" shenanigans.
Liara said thanks and that Saren might come after her again (he doesn't) and "I cannot think of anywhere that would be safer than on your ship" (aw) and "my knowledge of the Protheans would be useful later on."
For the romance, I vastly prefer this version of events rather than picking her up post-Feros. She's had a tough enough day without having to do the mind meld with some human she's known for ten minutes; Merrick would not have been real thrilled about that prospect either.
Merrick told her it was good to have her on the team (and smiled a little!) and Liara thanked him again and narrowly avoided swooning right in front of him (alas).
Kaidan asked her when she'd last eaten or slept and that Dr. Chakwas should look at her (I LOVE Kaidan and Liara being friends, aaahh) and that was pretty much it for the meeting.
And then Merrick got to talk to the Council and immediately got defensive over Liara Dr. T'Soni when they were all "are you taking security precautions since she's Benezia's daughter?" And then they were all "did you really have to blow up those Prothean ruins" and he was all "yes. there were geth" and nobody was real happy but at least it was a mercifully brief chat.
#springy plays mele#Merrick Shepard#what a day for Liara#I have no memory of what Anderson and Udina say post-Therum. I imagine Anderson is cooler about Liara being around than the Council is#I did not screencap Merrick smiling because. well. let's just say it looks nicer in 2 and 3 (particularly 3)#but in-universe Liara was definitely a little charmed#there's a lot of talk about Protheans#but I assume part of Liara's thought process is things like#'how do I interpret that human facial expression' and 'why do humans have hair on their heads'

I was so anxious today even tho i was on top of my self care slash mental well being basics check-list... I suspect it was the caffeine on top of already worsening anxious Symptoms
#it was def that combo bc i did everything else right#i was weirdly calm for the first 15 mins of my commute this morning and then it was all downhill from there fr#i got so self conscious and anxious after that and then in class i stuttered twice and seemed so unsure of myself even though i was#otherwise communicating quite coherently and fluidly#and then after class at the coffee shop where i attended my online lecture i was so on edge#i think the matcha latte just added onto the shot of espresso for the worse#which is strange because thats really not a lot of caffeine? i literally had two shots of espresso the other day and got really hyper but i#didnt want to die about it or cry about it#so yeah ^_^ its probs bc the past two days have been rough so it snowballed#also i had a weird moment on my commute home#i was so nostalgic bc it was all warm and rainy and the sky was a warm grey#but then i was so melancholy i wanted to cry#and i swear in that moment i felt like something earth shattering was happening to me because i was so refreshed by the memories of a past#self but it all felt so strangely tragic. i didn't just feel happy. i felt happy and then distraught#and i probably looked like a fool because i cant control my facial expressions as well as i used to be able to#i feel like im being dramatic again but 乁( •_• )ㄏ i have the mind of a poet or whatever the hell they say#i dont think they say that#z.post

i love how Blunt TOS is with its editing actually. i Love that whenever the show wants to express that Something Is Wrong it will use an obnoxious scary sound effect and scary lighting And scary music And hamfisted acting to let you know that Something Is Wrong. no ambiguity. autism.tv — beautiful <3
#N posts stuff#watching The Naked Time again & i love the rattlesnake sfx every time one character touches another or looks at their hands confusedly#sometimes it Is a little overwhelming like sometimes the exaggerated facial expressions are like Painful to look at in an autistic way#not like secondhand embarrassment or something but like the Muchness of the face is overstimulating#but i still like it a lot. i also love how slowly and deliberately the characters talk#huge swathes of silence scattered all over the place; long shots where no one says a word ; i love it so much#i tried to watch a few eps of snw and didn’t like it as much like it’s the same characters in theory but they all talk too fast#like at some point it became less a quirk of the era and more of a tangible character trait you know? lol

this is what i mean when i talk about having schizo face. if you compare with any of her other videos you can see that shes much more expressive on camera normally
#& she says shes trying to be expressive for the camera#i think theres a lot of very small facial movements that you dont pay attention to consciously but it looks strange when theyre missing#i like her channel shes pretty open about her experiences and in an approachable way#unfortunately that means she veers into “you are valid” territory sometimes which is not to my taste but i think it works for what shes#doing which is to present schizophrenia the same way any other less stigmatized mental illness is presented

Dame Aylin: Dame Aylin is watching. She is indomitable. And when her face lights the shadows of your wrongdoing, you are broken by it's beauty.

honestly i really love these pictures of bakugou, i think it’s because he thinks he has to have the most irritated look on his face or else people won’t think he’s “tough”
STOPPPPPPPP this is making me yell because you know he started as a kid and the habit just ended up sticking adjkfad... he really wanted to scare people sooo badly yet now he just kinda looks like a fool... jk, kinda asjdfakls
still, it has me dead to think about him trying to force a facial expression in all his photos... or at least, him being so used to making them that now he can't stop whenever someone's trying to take one or has been looking at him/talking for too long.
(even when he's holding his tongue, his face always says it all LMFAO)
Honestly though, all bakugo faces are incredible tbh... and i think people would be lying to say they don't have a favorite cuz we LOVE HIM LIKE THIS.
I'd say this is one of mine:
#bakugo#PLEASEEEE like why does he look likethat#honestly thinking about this tho it's kinda amazing bc... its so silly#and i say this bc i make weird expressions a lot too so maybe he just does it bc... he really does enjoy it LMAOOOOO#askjfdalksdfjkaksd#honestly this is making me think about how u could probably have whole conversations with just facial expressins u know?#like across the room from each other#reminding me of another fic ill never write#but YEPPPP LOL he thinks he's tough sh*t for this bye#ily tho#hope this was an okay response girl ajdajflada#ask#slutforsatoru#caitie chats#sls👓

#actually tho I’m just so happy the show is back#and that premiere!!!! it was so good!!!! I loved it so much aaaaa!!!#I told my sister after we watched it that the writing felt more like the first season to me#and she said she felt like it was more chaotic than a lot of the previous season was#anyway it was really great and I Loved it. all the interaction between Helen and Mrs. Hall was just#aaahhhhhhhh#i won’t put Any spoilers (at least for a bit longer) (and if I do I’ll tag them and possibly put a ‘read more’ as well)#but yeah I’d say this season is off to a great start and I’m so excited for more!!!!#this show always manages to come back right when I need it the most. it’s such a blessing for that :’)#gurt says stuff#all creatures great and small#mobile#oh one addition—the face acting in this episode was *incredible*#Callum and Sam especially knocked it out of the park with their facial expressions#(also I think Siegfried’s hair was looking a little better than it did last season? not quite as ironed-down lol)#(clearly this is the more important detail of the whole show and definitely something that warrants me caring about it shdkdh)

animal kingdom is one of those shows where most of the actors but most importantly all the main ones are the sort of good that makes you feel like you're spying on those people's lives and not watching tv. which is hilarious because i can't look at cast photos. those are criminals why are they on a red carpet
#it's just funny.#minus j. i can't tell if Finn Cole can't act or if he just doesn't need to bc j needs to be inscrutable anyways#but it still feels believable so 🤷🏽♂️#yeah they all feel very natural i like it. ive watched a lot of bad acted shit recently so im feeling the difference#.rtf#animal kingdom#this is why i was kind of happy mia got killed off...the actress wasn't BAD bad but couldn't keep up. she wasn't natural at all#clashed with everyone else's style#also. Adrian. can say what you want about the character but that actor never changed facial expression. just never.#like this 👁️👄👁️ for 4 seasons
