saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

Having a really long-term hyperfixation that has since faded is terrifying yes but it's also so embarrassing. Hi I used to think about Scrimblo Splungus 25/7. Yeah, for 2 years straight. Nah, I don't think about them anymore except for with a vague sense of melancholy as I recall how they used to make me feel. Anyways this new one, Blimpkins McGee? I'm gonna think about them forever and the cycle will NOT repeat in 2 years. Trust me guys.

blocked because your interpretation of that character doesn’t match the way they act in my bedtime narrative i imagine when i’m falling asleep every night

It Could Happen To You: mediocre tv show with baffling politics has really compelling characters in it

harry lloyd was let out of the basement for five minutes and said jayvik being married with four children in a cottage by the stream couldn't even cover how important and significant their relationship is to each other and how bound they are with one another

Yeah sorry I’ll never be normal about characters who only see themselves as having value in what they can do for others. Yeah it’s terminal. Sorry.

same character, different fonts

watching tommyinnit is wild because you’ll be like “haha this guy’s funny” and then you’ll realize that nothing will be the same ever again

everyone on this app yaps about bad media being better for fandoms but dsmp’s untapped and forever unexplored or poorly explored potential and general themes of attachment, grief and childhood and the fact that so much of it was accidental or improvised and the tight knit community that fell apart in less than two years makes it, in my humble and objective opinion, the single most haunting fandom i’ve ever been in. if you even care. clings to everyone like cobwebs i mean just look at all the sleeper agents and old urls that are posting about tonight lol YOU CAN’T ESCAPE

I hope they’re having a good time in the infinite embrace of the arcane

"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all

why didnt obi wan introduce anakin to system of a down like my dad did when he sensed a darkness in me. i cant stand catholics

been building a collection of posts from like minded individuals

Absolutely nothing worse than finding out that you share interests with someone you hate. Has you thinking things like fuck you I'm better at enjoying star wars than you are

one of the things i love the most about dsmp is the fact that no one has the same version of it. the most obvious example is which streamer's POV you watched, but it goes way beyond that because mcrp requires a level of suspension of disbelief and also of filling in the gaps, fleshening things out, in order to make it usable for fancontent.

for example, the fact that apart from the minecraft skin there is no actual guideline for how to see the characters, hence the dsmp creaturification of fan designs we've been over a million times. but it's not just that!!

the fandom also has so many different relations to time in the dsmp. some take the canon timeline but then you run into problems like c!fundy's age — so then either he's actually a 20 year old that c!wilbur adopted and treats like a baby, or perhaps fox hybrids have a very abrupt exponential growth spurt, or perhaps l'manberg wasn't a few months but a few years!

and then this brings into question the matter of scale — how populated is the server? is it truly only the actual streamers/characters, and so when we talk about a "war" do we really just mean like 10 people fighting each other with swords? or perhaps there's a couple dozen, unnamed, background characters? and i've seen people increase the scale even more! make l'manberg a real, albeit obviously small and budding, country-city of a few hundred inhabitants, that perhaps grows into a lifesize scale fortified city during new l'manberg.

and then everything takes on such a different tone. if theres 30 people on the server, the final control room was a betrayal and destruction of friendships, november 16th was the grief and anger for a friend and the symbolic destruction of the country, and doomsday was another symbolic show of whose alliances everyone values, and the weariness of having to rebuild it. if there's a few thousand people? all of those were massacres.

how can we even be talking about the same characters when for some of us the worst they've done is blow up some houses with no cost of lives, and for others they have razed to the ground actual nations? depending on how you read it and how much you flesh it out, dsmp is either mainly about symbols and interpersonal relationships, or it can be some game of thrones shit. it's completely fucking mental. i'm so in love with it

Finished my color theory assignment :)

Don’t be mean to him guys, he’s just really susceptible to peer pressure

i hate how if you mention doing any form of art or music or writing to anyone there's this connotation that you want to be famous or rich because of it. i'm literally just in my bedroom doing arts and crafts, writing silly stories with no direction and learning knocking on heavens door on guitar for the millionth time. and that's enough

BAROQUE ART 🎭 love, ur local art mom 🩵

disclaimers and more information under the cut ✂️

hi I’m annemarie and I’m an art historian! not adjuncting for the first time in five years was rly hard for me so I threw some slides together so I could still (sort of) teach the same material as my language of art class but a) I threw these slides together for instagram so space was/is limited and b) language of art is a ten week run through art history so I’m presenting only the most accessible information here – there’s so much more to this art period and to this artist! – please don’t expect it to be comprehensive and please do ask if you have any questions!

oh p.s. my first ever class of art history students came up with the name ‘art mom’ for me at the end of the quarter and yes it does make me cry if I think about it too long thanks so much for asking

Silco's "power" monologue scene is so much more impactful with the context of what Vander did to Silco.

In the past, Silco was strangled and held under the water so long that he almost drowned. In the present, he resides in an office situated underwater, with only a giant glass window standing between himself and the river.

In the past, Silco pulled a knife out of Vander's pocket to defend himself, but he was not strong enough to fight Vander off entirely. In the present, he pulls a knife out of Deckard's pocket, rendering him defenseless and scaring him into complying.

In the past, Silco lost his left eye in the river due to a wound that became infected. In the present, he taps the knife next to his good eye, close enough to look intimidating but not quite close enough to cause actual damage.

He's talking about the ways in which his philosophy about power was shaped by his experience with Vander, while physically demonstrating his power by taking control of situations that once made him feel powerless. God I love this show.
