Dead For A Dollar

Buddie Countdown to Season 7:

34 days.

you want to just team up with some blood-stained killer?! because I'm fine with that.

oh to have your story be told hundreds of times yet still be unable to change it

The Guardian, The Firebrand, The Damsel, The Voyeur; damned to repeat this cycle of torture until they all fall prey to it-

-only to begin it again

“THE GREAT FLOOD SHALL WASH AWAY ALL THE ASH, READYING THE WORLD FOR ANOTHER GREATER, CYCLE”

-HABIT

Hey dark-wil-wheaton, groovy eyebrows. I was wondering, what's your favorite way to spend a day off?

Dark stuntmen are always on the clock

When you are in over your head, sometimes the only thing you can do is drown.

[video description: a Black Sails fanvid, set to the song Under the Water by Aurora (click link for lyrics). As the music slowly fades in, the video begins with the long slow shot of Silver fading into view under water in the very beginning of episode 4.01. The first heartbeat sounds from the show’s audio are present, but fade away before any dialogue is heard.

The next two clips are Silver being dragged along the beach by Israel Hands and then his walk out of the tunnels, alone, after Flint surrenders to Eleanor as collateral for the cache.

After this, the video transitions into a montage of moments when Silver finds himself being drawn deeper into the narrative and into the crew of The Walrus. These are interspersed with more shots from his struggle, alone, underwater in episode 4.01, as the music builds in intensity.

When the song returns to a slower tempo, the montage begins to incorporate scenes of emotional attachment to Madi and to Flint, as well as more pivotal moments of struggle or tragedy such as his intense grief when he believes Madi to be dead.

As the song starts to wrap up, the montage focuses on Silver’s relationships with Madi and Flint, culminating in scenes from the finale where Madi returns to Silver after their fight and where Silver raises his pistol and aims it at Flint in the forest. As the last strains of music fall away, Flint’s voice saying “Where else would you wake up in the morning and matter?” is heard over a scene where the camera slowly descends into the water until it fades to black.

What does the "masculine female disposition" mean in your toronto lesbian anon post?

u either get it or u don't

i think the witcher makes me feel a profound sadness every night because it’s about all the things we love so much, or that we wish we had, but can never get back. the tragedy of the uncontrollable. the pain of loss.

ciri, despite her youth and innocence, loses her home and family and then she even her adoptive parents, and then she even loses her youth and her innocence, and is left with nothing but a grotesque scar symbolizing her trauma that doesn’t fit her childlike face and a hardened, green glare. and a sword, which is only a burden.

her parents, despite their incredible love for her, despite all of their agony and sacrifice to get her back, despite their own loss of their honor, their pride, their blood — they lose her too. they lose a child, the most tragic loss of all.

dandelion loses his best friend, clutching at his memories like the weeds growing by loch eskalott, trying to grasp the last twenty years to write his memoires.

milva hears her father’s words when she shoots, and his wheezing echoes in her mind.

regis lost himself, his entire life, all the people he ever loved and chased away.

cahir, despite his large family that loves him more than imperial orders, can never return to darn dyffrya, feel the sun on his face in vicovaro ever again.

angoulême wonders if her mother would have loved her had she not abandoned her, imagines what her hand patting her head in praise could have felt like.

and then geralt loses them. all of them, one by one.

and nimue, reading about it all, can never meet the figures of the legend she has obsessed over for years and years… she has her part to play in it, she can know their voices from dialogues and know their faces from etchings, but will never be able to tell them she loves them, tell them how much they mean to her.

even when they find what they’re searching for, even when they find what they’ve desired so — it’s only for a bittersweet moment. they shortly lose it again. everyone in this series is so intertwined together and caught in the same snare of destiny, and at the very same time so very alone and abandoned

every time luigi is described as skinny in official media there is an invisible asterisk at the end bc hes rlly not that thin hes just thinner than mario

ok well looks like scene 11 of this film is gonna suck no matter what. these shots are not good lol but well we persevere. what’s scene 12 maybe that will save it. oh 12 is not gonna save shit but at least it looks better hopefully if it actually looks as good as it did on the monitor last night. sorry for live-blogging my short film. i haven’t done or thought about other stuff for weeks tho this is all i have

jongdae's puzzle piece being the only one posted 15 minutes late + a fucked up unfinished version and him being in like 0.5 seconds of any content they upload lately...sm i'm coming for you

HALLOWEEN GALA 2023— Cherry Martini Edition

"What am I supposed to be? Uh, an angel, I guess. I mean, clock the mask! What else could I be?" She pauses, then carefully removes said mask. Beneath it is makeup artfully smudged to be suggestive of tears. "'Cause, like, what's better than an angel? A weeping angel. Not that you can tell while the mask is on...huh." Her expression grows vacant. It appears that the thought occurred to her for the first time just now. "Honestly, I forgot about this until, like, the very last minute. Came together in the end, though!"

For the ask game- Peanut/Vance. I saw it on a poll you posted and wondered what you thought about it

why hi!!!

alright so i think everyone around here knows my otps, but i do discreetly like this ship really!!

what made you ship it?

it came up kind of randomly really?? it's mostly because i love the greasers (who would've guessed!) and i love to study their individual dynamics as well, and peanut and vance are. soo compatible i have so many hcs about their friendship in my drafts because they just. are, you know?

2. what are your favorite things about the ship?

it's about, you know. the healthy friends to lovers process for me; the way both of them have always been searching for sincere love but were never really able to find it (peanut chasing johnny's heart despite everything + vance jumping from partner to partner but never being able to tie the strings with anyone) and maybe it's really just because they never looked in the right place before- each other. it's about starting from one chat on the first day of school, to enjoy going out together, to realize you trust them to be there more than anyone else. and revealing the deepest secrets without dealing with the terror of them leaving. do you see what i mean?

3. is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

mmh as far as i know the. ship itself isn't popular lmao. like there aren't really that many opinions i can put mine against lol. but if i had to say something, it would probably be that it would be the healthiest option for both of them, like above any other option??

Thinking about how if Agatha really did want to bring her mom back like the WandaVision team keeps saying, how if Evanora really was in her 40s when she died... Agatha would literally be hundreds of years older. Obviously, right?

Think about the implications.

I don't know how Agatha would react to finally succeeding in bringing Evanora back, and I don't know how Evanora would react except. I keep thinking.

Agatha, with the aid of Wanda, bringing Evanora back in the same clearing she died. It's a very odd experience for her, because the last thing she remembers is her daughter killing their coven, killing her, because they were trying to kill Agatha.

And suddenly, she's alive again, in the exact same place.

It feels different, off, but dying and being resurrected is disorienting as is.

She then notices the dark haired woman, wearing a witch's robes with what she's sure is her brooch resting right below this woman's throat, fingers stained all the way down to where her fingers meet her palm with the price of dark magic, and she looks so familiar but she can't quite place it, her head is ringing and her magic isn't settled the way she's used to and-

And this woman is calling her mother, repeating herself over and over again, waiting for a response and that's definitely Agatha's voice this woman is Agatha, why does her daughter look so old, she looks her age, she can't be her age, this is Agatha, except Agatha clearly fell to the dark magic she had tried to kill her for, and dear goddess this is her daughter.

Her daughter.

It's Agatha.

whatever maybe im being too hard on him specifically maybe the other execs in that article are right that he's just an easy target because he's the one passing on changes from all of them. but even so what kind of insane defense is that. "no this one guy isnt bad at his job! the employees are just mad at him because hes the point of contact for the rest of us, who are all bad at *our* jobs!"

The Doctor has parted with many companions without making a habit of lengthy goodbyes, but when Victoria asks to stay with Frank and Maggie Harris at the Euro Sea Gas refinery base, he agrees to spend the night to let her think it over. Before anyone can return to the Tardis with the morning tide, however, the three travelers have a long night ahead of them. The Doctor has a letter to write, Jamie has questions to ask, and Victoria has a decision to make - or perhaps simply to live with.

A missing-scene style fic set at the end of Fury From the Deep
