i really enjoy the fact Neil can read social cues, he just doesn’t see the worth in social norms and therefore he ignores a lot of the cues he’s given.

because its not that he’s unable to catch them, he’s a very observant person, has to be with how he was raised. but there’s so much stupid shit society insists on, that to someone that’s been on the run for their life for years, well it just seems dumb.

and so i like the idea people consider Neil to be sorta clueless about this stuff, only for him to make the most observant comment ever on smth that has escaped everyone’s notice.

double brownie points if the comment is about Andrew. like. the team say he’s looking in a bad mood and Neil is like ???no??? his left eyebrow twitched, that’s his excited face. and everyone for the first time understands how Andreil functions so well.

because here’s my second tangent, i love the fact reading Andrew has no social cues involved. Social interaction are a performance but Andrew refuses to participate, at least in the normal way (his blank face is to a degree also a performance but im ignoring it for the sake of this). so it makes it perfect for Neil to understand him, because to him it feels direct and clear in its meaning and intentions compared to what everyone else does.

Lego Gideon the Ninth. the overwhelmingly emotional bone dome scene at the end would be just gut wrenching. and then Lego Gideon lands on a lego fence spike and breaks into bricks. with the lil noise and all.

As someone who is a notorious hater of adaptations, this is the only time I’ve ever smiled at a TLT adaptation idea. Bravo OP

you turned yourself into a mausoleum 

heart wrenching commission concept

I’m not gonna lie it’s borderline embarrassing how long I’ve worked on this that I’ve spend 2 days tryna figure out how to caption it to make it less embarrassing but oh well. It also made me realise the banner says exy ncaa instead of ncaa exy but at this point that’s none of my business

Short of being inside Nora’s head here is a (mostly) (I think) biblically accurate and to scale model of the Foxhole Court and Nora I have a several questions.

Also rendered so many images of this I had like 50 cameras in the scene would y’all care if I just did a photo dump.

God I have so many things to say about working on this I had to restart like 8 times it was a mess but if I start I won't be able to stop Imao though if anyone's interested in a breakdown of all the sections and materials I would be more than happy to make a post yapping about it.

Andrew and neil getting more comfortable with the idea of wanting things by making silly little harmless demands of each other. Andrew says he wants to go to a bougie restaurant one night. Neil says he wants coffee from one specific cafe. Just testing their boundaries and preparing themselves for the big wants ‘i want to be with you. I want you. I want you forever’

So, I take it alectopause isn't going very well?

Call us Commander of Ctesiphon Wing because We Suffer and We Suffer

i'm obsessed with the fact that neil josten is a ridiculously fast learner. and it's not limited to one particular thing, it's EVERYTHING. like he made up nearly a decade of not practicing a sport and managed to become COLLEGIATE LEVEL in a YEAR. we don't even know how many languages he speaks fluently bc he doesn't find it important (nothing like neil's priorities) but it's at least 3 and at least 1 (2?) other(s) conversationally. he may have been oblivious to andrew at first, but as soon as he found out there was something there he was INSTANTLY flirting. he's casually a MATH PRODIGY (yes, he's absolutely a prodigy there's no way someone who never had consistent schooling would excel in an college math program after already being behind in said program, bc neil switched his major, without being one). the way he catalogs and interprets andrew's andrew-isms (for lack of a better generalized term) says a lot about how fast he can process information.

this man is insane. sometimes it gets overshadowed by the fact that he makes bad decisions when put in the crazy situations that happen in the series, but neil is genuinely really smart.

one of my favourite things about btvs is that buffy is not a perfect victim. when something horrible happens to her she gets mad, angry, moody, upset, she acts out, she’s mean, she isn’t just slightly sad and sometimes she makes it other people’s problem. i find it refreshing. it’s nice seeing the strong hero character act like a human and not just in a positive way

I have to reblog this every time because frankly this is absolutely genius prose

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 6.12 | SUPERNATURAL 9.06

don't talk to me about buffy summers. she didn't come back wrong. she wishes desperately she came back wrong. she's sure she did, because she feels wrong and if it wasn't her dying and it wasn't her being dragged kicking and screaming back to the land of the living and it wasn't her clawing out of her own grave only to have to do it all again then it's just her. it's just that buffy's wrong. she's irreperably broken and all death did was stop her from being able to hide it.

Say what you will about the comics, but Season 10 Spike means the world to me. Join me on Patreon and BSKY coz that's my crypt.
