Once Robby smiled while Javadi and Ogilvie tried to out smart each other, this is all I saw

Stranger Things season 1: beneath the superficial image of “peace and prosperity” in 1980s small-town America, there was the painful legacy of countless atrocities committed by the American government in the name of ‘freedom.’

Stranger Things season 4: evil Russians (not Soviets) have sent our All-American Hero to the gulags which apparently still exist in the 1980s and it’s up to us to save him 🇺🇸🦅🫡

There’s probably a term that already exists for this but if there isn’t I’m gonna call it ‘Rambofication’ in honor of its probably most well known instance: Rambo First Blood was about a soldier, John Rambo (that’s his actual name I’m not doing a bit), returning home from the Vietnam war, so traumatized by war that he brought the war home with him to a small town, unable to adapt to life without strict military discipline and hierarchy. Subsequent Rambo movies were about how John Rambo was the only supersoldier tough enough and patriotic enough to kill faceless hordes of dastardly foreign commies.

Ergo, ‘Rambofication’ is the process of a series starting with a relatively nuanced or subversive narrative before its sequels become a shallow embrace of the very narrative it originally subverted. It happens surprisingly often!

A quick animatic I made about Jordan and Marie

jordan fashion sketches💗

took some inspo from their streetwear style in s1. I feel like they might be a bit of a sneakerhead so I had to put jordan in some air jordans - their sneaker collection is so fun. i’m continuing my jordan wire frames agenda i’m sorry they’re here to stay!

thinking of doing emma next :)

Tragedy alignment chart. Feel free to use, but please reblog if you do.

And of course the second part of the tragedy, which is: which quadrant did you think you were in vs. which one you were really in

Yeah basically

Yeah I should’ve clarified (pun intended). They had glass in the ancient world especially in Rome and Egypt but it was basically super heated sand and color additives put in a mold and often looked opaque and kinda lumpy. Even if it was blown like it was in some regions it wouldn’t have looked like modern glass.

Clear blown glass like you’d see a modern scented candle contained in wasn’t invented until the late Middle Ages and certainly wasn’t mass produced until the 1500s and even then places like Venice that had knowledge of these techniques literally forbid their glassmakers from leaving their city or region so other people couldn’t make it, forcing artificial scarcity and making it a very expensive material.

So if you showed a yankee candle to an Ancient Greek, especially one from a city or something, they’d be like burning scented wax okay not something I’d do but it makes sense. Also how the fuck is that glass transparent.

Like imagine if someone brought you something weird but understandable contained in a material that they said was made out of wood and you could tell that it’s clearly made out of wood they’re not lying about that but it was also completely transparent and see through with no visible flaws. That’s about the level of weird we’re talking about here.

It isnt flawless, but transparent wood does already exist actually

What the fuck I feel like a medieval peasant seeing an iPhone

Who goes there

Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus

They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her

I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.

Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. 

Odysseus: Regret it why?

Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.

Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in. 

*A couple of months later* 

Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit. 

Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure. 

Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family. 

Cassandra: Penelope, I’ve had another vision.

Penelope, sighs: Go tell your father.

we are officially one month out from christmas — so, in the spirit of the holidays (and of my upcoming birthday on dec. 16th), i'm going to do a little writing celebration, where you all send me asks !

( this decision is heavily inspired by the lovely writers @daydreamgoddess14 and @cillmequick and their own lil writing celebrations — i wanted in on the fun ! )

the rules are as follows !

between now and january 1st, i'll be aiming to post two-ish pieces a week, though some weeks may be more or less, we'll have to see !

this is a not-very-well-planned-out thing, so i may have to adjust as i go, but i hope you'll all be patient with me !

₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊ my inbox is open for requests now ! ₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

( i removed the counter for open spots... i love the requests coming in and can't bear to limit them right now, so i'll just take them as they come and hope for the best, lol ! )

₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊ drabble schedule ! ₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

alright, here's the current schedule — it's a little bit insane, and i can't guarantee i'm going to be able to make all these deadlines, but i'm going to try my hardest !

just a heads up that i may rearrange at any point, or post a day later/earlier in case anything comes up, but for now, this is the plan <3 leaving those last couple spots open in case i miss a day and need to push something back, or if i get any new years specific requests !

( phew, i'm only a little bit overwhelmed looking at this ! )

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

A rest day isn't enough. I need one billion years alone in a crystal.
