I love how palpable the emotion is in this drawing. You can feel Ed’s anger melting away into confusion, regret, and sadness; you can feel Oswald’s deep hurt (emotional as well as physical) but you can also feel how his love for Ed overpowers it and turns it to forgiveness. It’s like a summary of the twists and turns of their relationship all in one art piece, dark but surprisingly hopeful. It’s painful and beautiful and lovely and definitely among my favorites; this is one of those drawings I’ve just stared at for an extended period of time while listening to music.
Here to deliver more angst. Really hope we at least get a kiss out of the disaster that is going to unfold in the next few episodes.
The IT crowd idea makes me think of the aesthetic similarities between Richmond and Revenge Era Gerard, and so now I want a bunch of BL/ind computer folks with aforementioned Gerard living in their closet, lurking around spookily and occasionally stealing their coffee mugs.
At some point later in the series, he meets Party Poison and several blatant “we look nothing alike” jokes are made.

Anyways, here’s a rather more heartwarming Mother’s Day fanart piece of young Loki learning magic from his mom :)
“You [Thor] and your father cast large shadows. I had hoped by sharing my gifts with Loki that he could find some sun for himself.”
OMG MOM UR SO COOL HOW DO YOU DO THAT WOWOWWOW
I bought a fancy paper hat at the grocery store (because I'm a sucker for shiny purple paper fedoras* with clocks on them apparently), consumed a little wine+, and knelt on the office floor and kissed my boy cat on his fluffy little head at like 12:04am because I was trying to finish my annual blogspot post**, do a Duolingo lesson, and find whatever TV channel has the ball drop all at once and I sort of missed it. But here we are nonetheless!
*Actually I think it might be kind of like a short top hat? I could post a picture later if anyone is particularly interested. It’s blatantly cheap and kitschy but I also think it’s really pretty actually. Also, as you can maybe tell, I’m still in pajamas; did not leave the house today.
+Technically I got strawberry daiquiri wine (it’s a cheap brand, Mom laughed when I showed it to her because it’s something they used to joke about in like high school or something), coconut creme liqueur rum (easily the strongest of the batch but still pleasantly sweet), and Bailey’s irish creme (definitely the most expensive but also probably the tastiest). I was just going to buy one but I don’t drink very often at all and I was curious to try something new and also I’m chronically indecisive so, here we are. I think I did pretty well picking sweet things actually though. Goodness gracious am I sleepy now though. I swear alcohol pretty much only ever seems to make me sleepy. Barely made it to midnight. Although I guess it’s almost one now. I have been rambling here for a while somehow.
**link maaaybe available on request? I haven't fully decided whether I'm willing to own up to my blogspot on here just yet. I started it in 2011 so. I’ve been through a lot of phases with it you could say. Actually it was a school blog initially, but it’s spiralled out from that.
Anyways here’s my mildly incoherent, slightly alcohol-soaked, new year’s post! I mostly wanted to show off my cute little boy cat’s reaction to our new year’s kiss. I love the way he looks at me, like, “I don’t know what’s going on but I love you <3″ is just written in his eyes.
There’s so much gorgeous fanart on this site. I really need to reblog more of it.
This is one of those fan artists from whom I have many works saved in my personal obsession folder and whom I’m super excited to have found and followed since making my tumblr.
Also, I love the idea of the Doctor going around and giving his companions Christmas presents :) Perhaps it all started with that red bicycle he took back to Rose when she was 12; perhaps it’s been going on much longer, because it’s fun to imagine with the classic companions as well--the Doctor dropping by Gallifrey and reluctantly leaving Leela a nice new knife, or more likely a yo-yo, and the like. (I’ve just started watching Leela’s run in the classic series and I think she’s on my top 10 list of companions, if I could possibly make such a thing.)
I love how even the ‘round thingies’ are red and green and how the lights are around the big branchy bits as if that’s the tree. It’s really just such a gorgeous art style, and I love seeing what the Doctor’s up to in his holiday downtime :)
I humbly beg forgiveness for the lateness of this. I had no idea when I signed up for the @dwsecretsanta gift exchange that a month later I would be offered a shiny new job that would swallow all my time. I am so very sorry about that.
This is for @nightfellart , a very TARDIS Christmas with Ten, enjoying a mug of creamy cocoa, en route to deliver gifts to his companions in time and space. I hope you had a very nice holiday this year!
Returning to the matter of my phone screensaver, I have actually done a separate home/lock screen for the first time, and this is now my lock screen because I was just in a Spicy Watson mood when I was setting my screensavers.
I’ve also had a lot of wanderlust lately, and it’s just about exactly a year ago right now that I got home from my study abroad in London (and other places in the UK, but the longest portion of it was in London). At one point I stood in almost exactly the spot this picture would’ve been taken from if it was a photo, in fact--well, not precisely at this angle, but along the walkway by the river near the London Eye.
I know it’s meant as Sherlock fanart, and I can definitely hear the theme song playing in my head as I look at it with that in mind, but I love that it’s also subtle enough that it just makes me feel like I’m there. I don’t know if there are any Thamesside hotels in the right spot to have this view, but the purpley-sparkly sky makes me feel like I’m sitting on the crisp white sheets of a bed in the window of one such hotel room, gazing out against the fading light of the sunset as the stars slowly come alight during a power outage apparently because you could never see that many stars from there sorry I know this is no time for realism and the hum of the street begins to dull for the night, giving way to the rustling of the river. It’s just very tranquil when I’m not overanalyzing it and transportive and, again, purple is my color so it’s great for that too. There’s just a particular, unique feeling to sleeping in a hotel in a city, and this piece has that feeling to it.
Inspired by Sherlock!

I decided I needed to change my blog theme. On my previous one, you had to scroll down before posts would pop up at all, the space between paragraphs was much smaller on my blog than elsewhere, and I was starting to notice that posts I reblogged lost their capitalization. However, on my new theme, my background image isn’t behind my whole blog anymore and I’m not crazy about the title being on the side, and also it doesn’t seem to show my tags which I need to fix because my tags are important to my rambling. I might try reworking this one a bit more, or I might go looking for another theme, or I might just go back to my old one with all its quirks and flaws because at this point I liked it better. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I’m a bit too picky about this.
While I’m doing blog housekeeping stuff, I did post that playlist I mentioned. I’ve heard that posts with links on them don’t always show up on tumblr and since my previous rambly textpost got more likes than my fanmix has so far, I thought I’d mention that in case anyone just didn’t see it who was looking for it.
Anyways, I hope I’m doing a decent job of balancing fandoms. I know at one point I advertised myself as a Gotham blog when I’m really becoming more of a multifandom blog, but I think I’m keeping a fairly even mix of Gotham and Series of Unfortunate Events stuff, plus cats, obviously. My fandoms will most likely change many more times over the course of this blog, but in any case, thanks for reading my ramblings.
I love how soft and whimsical this art is; it feels subtle and minimalistic and yet still very pretty. It’s like something out of a story book, and it captures the aesthetic mood of daydreaming. Lovely :)
Also I still haven’t seen 13 yet but now I own her coat since I dressed as her for Halloween and it’s very fun to swish around in her long flowy coat :) Definitely putting her season on my Christmas list.

Whenever I post something and I’m hoping people notice it, a little voice in my head starts singing “notes give me notes I do need them” to the tune of “drugs give me drugs I don’t need ‘em” from Na Na Na...
Welcome, dear traveller, to our fantastical lande shrouded in swirling violet mists. Here we study how stories shape our lives, how words weave wonders before our eyes. Here we are enamoured of love and the connections betwixt people. Here we seek daring adventures in our wild lande, delving into the unknown at every turn. But mostly, here you'll find my obsession with any number of things, like Doctor Who, the Vampire Diaries, or any number of others from the ever-shifting tide of obsessions through which I cycle. My more-used sideblog is blagueofchaos if you ever wish I posted more :) She/her, 28
