This was supposed to be a Cullen appreciation blog but now it is just a dump for all the shit I am currently into. Dragon Age, Mass Effect, FFXV, Anime, Movies, and so much more.

[missvoltairine-blog]

it has been like at least eight years and sometimes I still think to myself, when I am tired, “but I am le tired… well then take a nap! AND THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES” even though in retrospect that is like one of the most embarrassingly unfunny videos to ever come out of the internet 

[ratburglars]

tbh i still start sentences with “hokay, so” at least 3 times a day 

[judgebunnie]

same, aggressively so. I also still use “wtf, mate.”

#i have no idea what this is referring to#but i’m relieved to know i’m not the only one out there randomly quoting old internet videos#some shit is always hilarious to me (x)

OH MAN

LET ME LEARN YOU A THING

[sadcypress]

who doesn’t think this is STILL AS HILARIOUS as it was when we all watched it over and over and over again 15 years ago?

[fozmeadows]

I’ve reblogged this before and will doubtless reblog this again because MY ENTIRE GROUP OF FRIENDS WAS SO OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO IN 2002/2003 THAT WE COLLECTIVELY BANNED ANY MENTION OF IT EVER AGAIN 

AND YET

WE ARE NOW GROWN-ASS ADULTS IN OUR THIRTIES

AND IT STILL GETS QUOTED FROM TIME TO TIME

I HAVE THE WHOLE THING MEMORISED

TO THIS DAY, MY MOTHER REGULARLY SAYS “BUT I AM LE TIRED” BECAUSE OF A VIDEO I SHOWED HER IN FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL

THIS IS AN ICONIC PIECE OF INTERNET HISTORY AND I WILL FIGHT ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERS

[gingersnapwolves]

my wife and I still regularly say “hokay so”, “but I am le tired” and “and some big meteor’s like ‘well fuck that’.” Fucking iconic.

[cobrilee]

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS POST BECAUSE I’VE SEEN IT NOW AND I CAN’T STOP FUCKING LAUGHING

SHUT UP RIGHT NOW

[propalahramota]

Honestly, I've read some filthy smut, but nothing will ever hold a candle to that scene in Eight Little Talons, where those two idiots want to make out so badly, but they can't because he's just put truth serum on her lips, and she is in abusive relationship with another guy, and they both can't admit they are humans with feelings, so they just bonk their faces together like baby tigers while fantasizing what would it feel like to kiss each other, until their breathing synchronizes and the tension becomes so unbearable, that the most emotionally stunted guy in existence finally decides: fuck it, I'm gonna wipe the truth serum and kiss her, but then they're cockblocked by Grandma.

Dispatch animation! 👍

Dragon Age: Veilguard × Sailor Moon × Cinderella vibes fan animation. This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you.

Concept and colour: @hijennyt I posted a full write down on instagram, but basically... Earlier this year I peer pressured lovingly commissioned my talented friends to animate my dragon age fanart. This started as an experiment in building a small, indie style pipeline for fan projects. While I couldn’t find enough animators to fully finish what I had in mind, what did come together, I absolutely loved.

Edit to add: in a time where ai slop has been becoming more prevalent, I think collabs are a way to combat it.

If you love the animation please check out the animators, they are incredible and gave me a fairytale moment that went way polished than it had to. I'm also still keen to do future animation experiments, so if you know of any available experienced anime styled animators hit me up.

Wailing sobbing crying about how often Jinshi is mischaracterized as a possessive prince obsessed with his new toy even by the fans. That boy has had every single thing he's ever cared about ripped away from him for the sole purpose of limiting his attachments and yet he still can't help but let himself feel them. This is a guy that will probably never see the throne but still has had every single experience shaped by it. The amount of choices this actual teenager has gotten to make about his own fucking life are probably capable of being counted on half a hand.

People are so quick to notice the patterns of motherhood and how it's thrusted upon women and the children suffer due to it, but no one is talking about how Jinshi is one of the biggest examples of this. His concubine birth mother twitched him at birth. The woman who raised him seems to have never formed an entirely strong bond with him. His nursemaid would hide his toys if he grew to love them too much, as she obviously saw it as a future distraction. To this day, both Suiren and Gaoshun view his emotional attachments as a prince still screaming for his toys.

The apothecary diaries as a whole is a story about lack of agency. It's about control, and how culture and gender and social status all feed into the same beast that no one ever truly escapes. No one in the rear palace is truly free; no one outside of the rear palace is ever truly free. Those that live their dreams are lucky, and permitted to do so. Jinshi is no exception. No matter how close he gets to someone, no matter how strongly he holds them or bites them, or claims them, it will never be enough. He can claim all he wants, but they will still be treated as a distraction he must grow up from. They will still be toys locked away for his own good.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

His name is António Fernandes, and you can find the original article where he spoke about this event here

This elderly gentleman lives alone in Porto, when he saw the march coming up his street all he knew was he wanted to participate, so he ran home to get the only flag he had to wave as they passed by, when they did he was overcome with emotion and called over one of the activists, they hugged and exchanged flags, he felt so overwhelmed that he could only hold it and cry.

This isn't a story about a closeted elderly man, António lives and has been living alone for many years now and that little moment made him feel included in something for the first time in many years.

Says the article:

"The act was "of support”, guarantees the man, especially because “each one is as they are and we are all the same”. “The joy I felt at this moment. I cried,” he recalled, still emotional when looking at the photograph offered to him during this report.

However, even though it reached thousands of people, the moment screams a feeling of belonging, of joy and also a portrait of loneliness as a consequence of aging.

Behind that door, whose image spread across the country, António is the portrait of a condition that affects many others like him.  He lives alone, but the walls of his home are full of memories of a life shared and full of love. “Memories I preserve,” he stresses.

He's not gay, nor does he need to be to support and respect the cause.

“We all have the same color blood. We are all the same.”

Still with an emotional look glued to the photograph that immortalized his gesture at the march, António remembers: “I felt embraced by all of them”. After a sigh, he says: “See this photo? I want to take it to my coffin.”
