Say hello to Victor Hugo as Don Corleone, made for Lame Mis collab (theme: noir). Text: "I understand. You found paradise in AO3, you read good fanfictions, you made some new content. The fandom protected you and there were headcanons. You didn’t need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: “Thicctor, write me a Post-Seine.” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Victor. Instead, you come into my house on the day I'm eating my unpeeled oranges, and you ask me to get involved in your shipping."

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

[et-in-arkadia]

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

[bendingsignpost]

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

There’s something off about the new hunter in town…

Happy (belated) Halloween!! And I’m so excited to share a little concept for an original project I’ve been working on, set in 1760’s France and loosely based off of the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan and the conspiracies surrounding it. I’m really excited to share more of this the further I develop the story since it combines so many of my passions (historical fiction, werewolves, etc), and again thank you guys so much for your support and patience!! Feel free to ask any question, and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities (without spoiling too much) <:))

Going on with my Polish 2025 JCS obsession and, my dudes, Marcin Wortmann is my Judas. Can't have him recorded, will steal him for you in art. Dude has the softest blue eyes and most vulnerable features of all Judases and it's a great contrast to this edgy design he has. And he holds all difficult notes with no fails so, there is that. Also so many desperate staring contests between him and JC. Damn! These two. 💜

Can someone make just an hour long loop of just the Anthony Warlow Transformation scream sorry I need to pump it into my veins headphones aren’t enough

[mourningskvader]

Babe, are you okay? This is the 15th time you’ve listened to Transformation from the Jekyll and Hyde musical in the last hour.

[sexycornenthusiast]

logically i know how it's supposed to work (propaganda, blackmail, etc), but emotionally the idea of an evil photographer who takes evil pictures will never not be funny to me. that sounds like a cartoon villain concept

[eglerieth]

Having rewatched Pirates of the Carribean several times, I have noticed something interesting. Will Turner is often the only survivor of massive shipwrecks, like the one that killed his mother or the one with the kraken. Other times even when hes alone he survives drowning in ways he really has no right to, like the destruction of the Interceptor. He just often conveniently finds a perfect sized piece of driftwood or something. Remember what Calypso said? About him having a “touch of destiny?” I think that the sea could never kill him, will always cradle him and protect him, because all along he was destined to be the captain of the Flying Dutchman. The sea could no more kill him than a human could cut off their own arm.

#gonna mentally pair this with that post about how elizabeth heralds death #every man she kisses shortly afterwards dies at sea #and she sees the ghostly black pearl as a girl when no one else does #and at the start of the story elizabeth - the sea’s own psychopomp - sees will floating past and sounds the alarm to save him #and she falls in love with the one man the sea will never kill (@aethersea​)

[ekjohnston]

i love them forever

[strikercorbie]

There’s another thing that Elizabeth does that absolutely is because she’s the Ocean’s Psychopomp - when they’re bringing Jack back from the land of the dead and the Black Pearl is sailing through the sea with all the ghosts in the boats, the crew is warned to not try to talk to or rescue them because they can’t even see the Pearl anyways (”we are naught but ghosts to them"). But when Elizabeth sees her father she calls to him, snd then COMMANDS him to hear her and he responds. Shes the only one who interacts with the ghosts who aren’t supposed to be able to perceive them.

I refuse to believe that the writers weren’t doing this on purpose, I think they absolutely were writing Elizabeth with this in mind.

the lldra curtain call is actually so funny because everyone's running up and then along comes merlin who instead Strides Very Efficiently

[kingercainedaddyissues]

Doing one of these bc why not

What does NOT happen in Team Fortress 2?

Atlantis is revealed to be New Zealand

There's Australian gold that makes you manly and can extend your life

A main character goes to Germany and beats people up thinking WW2 is still going

they r special 2 me…

[kvothes]

poetry and musical theater get similar accusations leveled at them in terms of not being realistic, i.e. “no one fucking talks like that” or “people don’t randomly burst into song in real life” and sometimes i just want to take people by the shoulders and say. there are forms of art that are not aiming for perfect realism. are you capable of handling that

[mu-mumie]

Á! Thank you for tagging me :‘33

Last song (and since I just practiced I’ll split it into last song sung: just now Šnečí blues/Snail’s Blues by Jaromír Nohavica (it’s a morbid tale of a snail who got scared and in his escape moved SO FAST - 0,5m/hr??? - that he CRASHED!! Into a MUSHROOM!!! The tale carries the important lesson that if he took public transport instead we would not have to sing sad blues about him :()

and last song listened to): something by Muse probably? Or some Message To Bears

Currently watching: Star Trek The Original Series babyyyyyyy!!

This one was quite pleasant :’)) I’d like to forward this to @frogsbian @neoncl0ckwork @nejene @xhades-aidoneusx and @starenfluglesmis :’)) And @cornistasiathecoblinking because, unlike with the others, I have no idea whatsoever what your replies would be O,,O

[xhades-aidoneusx]

Eyyy, thanks for the tag. I would be, I think, first one I'm actually doing. Let's get to it!

Last song: let's say it was Zemfira - злой человек (I'm so wild musically lately, like, I came back to listening to the Gazette (Vermin my beloved) but at the same time there is a mixture of post punk doomer songs and phonk.

Currently watching: nothing for now. I'm going to watch some film about Lermontov and I'm also eagerly waiting for another season of Kuroshitsuji (one more year ;-;)

Currently reading: Brothers Karamazov and I'm nearing the end! I also read Fathers and Sons and I want to finish the Hero of Our Time.

Current obsession: sadly, I lack a strong one now. Vaguely it's just nihilistic, problematic characters from Russian literature. But let's say it's Ryleev and Trubetskoy from Union of Salvation!

Uh, dunno who to tag. I'll tag @bakerstreetlady and @brotherdusk then. Dunno whether you do things like that, if not, then sorry for the tag.
