âbits to use in everyday conversationsâ
Shoutout to 30-Under-30 Media Luminary, Griffin McElroy, for making it impossible for me to open a canned drink without hearing his faint echoing voice in the distant corners of my mind going "YEEAAH GRIP IT AND RIP IT BABEYYY"
"life is pointless"
"being alive sucks"
IDIOT!! get up and stretch!!!!! you fucking idiot!!!!!!!
Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
âWatch out for intellect, because it knows so much it knows nothing and leaves you hanging upside down, mouthing knowledge as your heart falls out of your mouth.â
- Anne Sexton (died: 4 October 1974)
I, personally, would have died on the spot if there had been a Corinthian narrated Dreamcast, and I get that it wouldn't really keep up with the peaceful vibe.
However. Hear me out:
Dreamcast: Windows to the Soul
Youâre enjoying your pleasant journey through the Dreaming. Your padded steps on the grass becomes echoed steps in a large space. The thunder is far away and all falls silent.
âHi...â
A familiar voice apologizes for interrupting, âAre you enjoying yourself? Youâre a long way from the castle. How long have you been wandering around? Where are you going?â Like the Big Bad Wolf.
A sigh. âYou look like youâve gotten yourself lost. Donât worry. Youâll be safe with me.â
Heâs somewhat inviting, and you follow him whether you like it or not. âYou know,â He says, âYou should be cautious: for mortals, sensations in the Dreaming can be just as visceral as in the waking world. Like how a good fright can inspire the mind to get a little frantic, make your heart pound, make you sweat and shiver like you'll never wake up. Like Eternal Waking. Never heard of it?â You can hear the smile in his voice. âYouâre trapped in a cycle of awaking to disturbing hallucinations, each more morbid than the last.â He chuckles low. âI wish. Only the King of Dreams can do that.â
You back up. Thunder rolls in and rain begins to patter above. Footsteps circle around you. âWhat's wrong, sweet thing? What are you hiding?â A beat. âI think you have something you wanna tell me. What are you scared of?â
âWell, you don't have to tell me anything.â Among the rumbling, the slow scrape of a blade. âSoon Iâll see everything. Every thought, every feeling...â The Corinthian ponders. âThe paralyzing fight or flight sensation, the rush of blood going coldâ. The rain begins to pour. âThe Nightmares in this realm have been created a little unimaginatively for my taste... They deal in spiders, heights, fire, paranoia, you name it.â
"As for me... I like the eyes." Cue the disturbing sound effects.
Itâs interesting that the three errant dreams Morpheus needs to track down in the second half of the season are identified as part of the Major Arcana, a title that is heavily associated with tarot. The Major Arcana is often meant to represent our journeys throughout life, to tell a story. And the way that Morpheus interacts with these three dreams, and what they represent to him, also mirrors the most basic tarot spread - three cards: what was, what is, and what will be. The past, the present, and the future.
The Past
Gaultâs representation as the Past is conveyed through both Gaultâs desire to change and Morpheusâ rejection to it. She wants to be a dream instead of a nightmare. But itâs not a narrative accident that she is a nightmare. âA Nightmareâs purpose is to reveal a dreamerâs fears, that they may face them.â Morpheus is being forced to face both his fear of change and his fear of abandonment in this conversation. It hurts that nearly everyone left the Dreaming. It hurts to acknowledge that his own actions in the past have inspired fear rather than loyalty. He rejects his own capacity to change, and he reacts to Gaultâs dreams in the same way that he reacts to Hobâs friendship - with fear and anger.
He rejects, and punishes (though obviously to much different degrees), both Hob and Gault for their desires because to accept them would be to admit to his own desires.
(As an aside, I havenât read the comics yet, but I have stumbled into some spoilers - knowing the very little I know about major events at the end of the comic series, I wonder how much Gaultâs words, âI had no wish to rule. I merely wished to be a Dream and not a Nightmare,â are also a reflection of Morpheusâ desires.)
The Present
Fiddlerâs Green is a reflection of Morpheusâ desire to experience humanity, and itâs interesting the little tidbits we get throughout the arc that tells us what that means.Â
The first is, of course, Hob: the only thing Morpheus wants from Hob is to know about his experiences, what kind of life he chooses to live when thereâs no longer the limitation of death.
The library in the Dreaming has every story ever written or that will be written, Dream is the Prince of Stories. How are we introduced to Gilbert? He got caught up in a book.
Gilbert is the embodiment of compassion and a sense of adventure - Morpheus calls him the heart of the Dreaming, and Gilbert gently corrects him. He has the braincell self-awareness to understand that Morpheus himself is the heart of the Dreaming, that all of the Dreams and Nightmares are a reflection of some part of him.
âWhen a human is at the center of the Dreaming, is it not to remind us that we exist because humans dream? Not the other way around? The miracle of humanity itself should always be more vivid to us than any marvels of power.â How soon was Unity born after Dream walked out on Hob? Iâm sure it was a decade or two later, but still. Your repression is literally causing cosmic natural disasters, Dream.
The way this arc starts with Death sharing the love she has for humanity with Dream and pushing him towards Hob bookended with Gilbertâs compassion for Rose and humanity in general and his theory about the Vortex. Dream: âI have no idea what youâre trying to tell me.â
The Future
The confrontation between Morpheus and the Corinthian - *chefâs kiss*. There were so many double meanings in EVERYTHING they said to each other.
âYou were my masterpiece. A dark mirror made to reflect everything humanity will not confront.â A dark mirror of everything YOU wonât confront either, MORPHEUS.
âI contain the entire collective unconscious. Without my rules, it would consume me. Humanity would be consumed.â You made this guy with THREE MOUTHS, Dream. The dichotomy of both wanting a taste of what humanity has to offer vs. your fear of being consumed by it. Will you please go to therapy.
âNext time I make you, you will not be so flawed, and petty, little Dream.â I see you, foreshadowing! I see you.
Renew the show so Tom Sturridge can make me ugly cry, Netflix.
Also, going through Dreamâs confrontations with his own creations made it blindingly obvious why Desire is the Greater Scope Villain of this arc. Dream heavily rejects pretty much every single thing he could possibly want in these episodes - and gets real petty when heâs actually confronted about it. I canât imagine how violently repressing your own wants and needs might affect your relationship with your sibling who is literally Desire. It couldnât possibly have any negative repercussions at all, Iâm sure.

the concept and idea of âyou can always start trying to be a better personâ is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better personÂ
from a compassionate point of view itâs deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view itâs outright frustrating
itâs fucked up.Â
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to âredeemâ bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people youâve hurt still wonât forgive you, and youâll have to accept that. And that doesnât mean you arenât allowed to grow. Because we arenât just âpureâ or âsinfulâ, weâre complex.
Mermay day 1! Luchia from mermaid melody! Haven't uploaded art here in ages haha
Modern fandom went awry when people stopped learning how to avoid content that upsets them and instead starting actively seeking it out.
I mean this in the kindest, most loving way possible, but babes you'll be so much happy when you stop focusing on what other people are doing and instead focus on what you like.
You'll never be able to stop people from liking what you hate, and the best way you'll find any peace of mind is properly utilizing blocking, blacklisting, and muting tools. Take it from someone who used to run a shipping discourse blog, fandom is supposed to be what you enjoy, stop focusing on things that upset you.
the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i donât give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!
it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thingâand then show it off or gift it.
and then so people my age say to me âwellâi canât draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.â yeah, well duhâa part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. uâll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you canât stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.
making things improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.
take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESNâT INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.
she snapped!!!!!
@enjoyskyblue EXACTLY!!!
So freaking important!! I have to that learn myself actually ://
Motivation During Lockdown
Headcannons for my lovely fellow Pascal Rascal @agentdaiquariâ!
I was just gonna ask, if you could write a headcannon for each boy (Whiskey, Frankie, The Maxâs, Oberyn, and Ezra) how they would help you get motivated and up and moving? Cause of lock down and my adhd brain Iâve gotten extremely lazy and Iâve fell into doing everything last minute again.
I really hope you enjoy these! I had a lot of fun writing them!
Jack (Whiskey) Daniels
Jack Daniels is an absolute sweetheart when it comes to looking after you during lockdown. Heâs looking after everything in your place, doing all the chores and keeping the house organised for you so all you need to focus on is your work and what you need to get done. He wakes you up with sweet morning kisses and pulls you out of bed playing soft music to gently wake you up. Jack would be working with you keeping you motivated and on task by working beside you. He also brings you food and water so that youâre always looked after. Heâs supporting you by looking everything you could need, taking all the unnecessary things off your plate. Once youâve finished everything for the day, he makes you a lovely dinner and afterwards he pulls you into his arms as you dance to one of your favourite songs. Swaying together as you rest your head in the crook of his neck as he tells you how proud he is of you.
Frankie Morales
Frankie Morales is an absolute angel getting everything you could possibly need to finish your work. Heâs also your biggest supporter. He wants to get invested in whatever youâre working on so he can learn more about your passions and your work and help you out in whatever way he can. He wants to be someone you can bounce your ideas off and share your thoughts with. Frankie is so excited for all your new projects, âYou can do anything you put your mind to mi pequeña estrella. Youâre the smartest most incredible person I know. Youâve got this.â He always gives you a little burst of kisses all over your cheek to make you laugh so youâre in a good mood to work. He loves hearing your gorgeous laugh before he lets you focus. He comes in to check on you when your focused, bringing you water to keep you hydrated and kissing you on the head in reassurance throughout the day.
Maxwell Lord
Max Lord is all about hard work. He doesnât want you to have to struggle like he did so he wants to make sure you succeed in everything you do. He gives you a motivational pep talk whenever youâre struggling to focus. âNo ones going to make it easy for you mi Corazon. You have to take what you want and what you deserve. You have to work hard and show everyone what youâre made of my darling.â He wants to motivate you and push you because he knows how much youâre capable of and how much you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. Â But heâs also ridiculous at the same time. He spares no expense when it comes to you and motivating you is no exception. He buys you everything you could possibly need for your work and your projects. If you needed to fly all the way to Venice just to see a certain play, he would do that. Anything to support you.
Max Phillips
Max Phillips loves to push you to your full potential, he helps you wake up early so that you can start working earlier like you want to. He helps you organise your day by creating plans for what you need to get done. âI just want you to have a plan so you can work effectively darling.â The fact that heâs a vampire and barely sleeps means that he helps you wake you up and helps you stay up. But once your work and projects are done for the day, he helps you relax and get some good rest by curling up next to you in bed so you can fall asleep on his chest for a peaceful nightâs sleep. He stays awake stroking your hair as you rest, humming Romanian songs softly so you can gently drift off to sleep ready for the next day of hard work.
Oberyn Martell
Oberyn thinks the best way to motivate you is to promise you rewards and gifts for working hard. âMy little lion, what should be your reward after a hard dayâs work? My princesa deserves the world, maybe I can treat you to some dessert later.â Heâs also your biggest supporter, showering you in praise at every opportunity he can possibly find. Even if he doesnât quite understand what youâre doing. âYouâre just too smart for me little one. Youâll have to teach me angel.â He loves to hear about everything youâre doing, listening intently while you explain your work and your projects. Of course, at the end of the day once all the work is finished, he takes you out into the gardens as the sunsets, bringing a small little basket so the two of you can bask in the dying light of the day drinking fine wine while you rest in his lap and slowly drift to sleep while he caresses your hair.
Ezra
Ezra just wants you to relax during this tough time. He knows how hard this has been on you and he wants to help take the pressure off and refresh you so youâre ready to work and stress free. He loves to run you a nice hot bath with some soothing soaps and essential oils to help clear your mind. He lights a collection of candles around the bath, turns the lights off, and plays some calming music so you can sink into the bubbles. When you get out and get ready to start your day, he makes your favourite warm drink and walks you to your office where a small fresh bouquet of flowers sits next to your work. He went out to pick them while you were in the bath, bright and lovely colours with a soft aroma wafting from them. He wants you to have something that reminds you of him while you work, something that will make you smile whenever you look up from your desk.
Marcus Moreno
Marcus Moreno being the nurturing man he is wants to look after you by spoiling you. His favourite way to do this is to wake you up with breakfast in bed to start your day off perfectly. He cooks you your favourite breakfast, making a complete mess of the kitchen in the process. He brings you your meal on a little tray with evidence of the mess heâs made on his forehead where heâs wiped his brow and accidently smeared one of the ingredients. With a beaming smile he pulls you into his chest to rest on his shoulder. âOnly the best for my little one, to start your day off right darling.â Heâs also stocked the kitchen with all your favourite treats from the farmers market in preparation for the long week ahead. He also helps you with whatever your doing giving you advice and suggestions for whatever youâre doing. He loves to share all your achievements with everyone who will listen, friends, family, even the server at the Starbucks round the corner from your house.
Pero Tovar
Pero Tovar will force you to do your work whether you want to or not. After falling back asleep curled up in your sheets after your alarm has gone off, he will gently nudge you, waking you up. When all he hears is grumbles in response, he lifts you off the bed, cradling you in his arms as he carries you to your workstation. Plopping you down in your seat with a grunt as you protest. He leaves and comes back with a warm hearty breakfast to get you started for the day. After placing the breakfast next to your hand, he pulls your gaze towards him by tugging your chin with his finger. As you look into his eyes, he smiles at you. âYou can do it mi amor, I know you can.â He waits, watching you finish your breakfast taking the dishes away once youâre finished, he kisses you lightly on the shoulder and leaves you to your work.
THE MANDALORIANÂ + Pedro Pascal Tweets
Finished commission of Pedro Pascal!
All women are forced to live under an arbitrary and unfair system which sorts us into the categories of âFuckableâ and âWorthless.â The solution to this is NOT to expand the definition of âFuckable.â
âAll women are beautifulâ is a cute sentiment and all but itâs ultimately the wrong one. All women are valuable, all women are people, whether you can be generous enough to find unconventional beauty in their appearance or not.
