ok im loosing my mind at this theory? canon connection? from twitter

1.2 spoilers/theories / luocha companion quest mentions / leaks(?)

i was ALSO under the assumption that dan feng is dead and dan heng is just a Fucked Up On Purpose reincarnation of himself. but these TWO screenshots fuck it all up

(apparently this was data mined from the game and hasn't been deleted but im unsure if its 1.3 leaks for imbibitor lunae's companion mission or not)

and this is just a screenshot from Luocha's companion mission where March is talking about a novel that has a molting/de-aging story beat and said novel is a main focus throughout the mission

the clear use of "molting" is. super telling especially since Luocha is a follower of the abundance and has unclear motives on the Luofu that havent come to light yet compared to Dan Feng's gay gay homosexual gay immortality sin

and boy does hyv like to drop hints like this in the patches leading up A Big Reveal

this makes the lore EVEN MORE complicated than it already WAS trying to figure out whats going between these two(?) characters and if Dan Feng was actually just de-aged its honestly So Much More Tragic than just Dan Feng dying because Dan Heng IS Dan Feng. Blade ISN'T as delusional in thinking they're the same person, though Dan Heng isn't trying to gaslight gatekeep girlboss by pretending not to know Blade because he GENUINELY doesn't. Dan Feng isn't dead, Dan Feng just doesn't exist anymore in the capacity that his loved ones can remember . And it hurts SO much more.

This also explains why Jing Yuan was acting so fucking insensitive to Dan Heng in the 1.2 trailblaze mission. Jing Yuan is a long-life species and not a stranger to the death of people around him, he is familiar with the Vidyadhara reincarnation cycles & him repeatedly referring to Dan Heng as Dan Feng is unwarranted and not in character IF Dan Feng is actually dead. If Dan Feng was de-aged & grows into being Dan Heng that throws a huge fucking wrench in the already messy & convoluted Vidyadhara reincarnation. His friend did not die and move on to their next incarnation that is to be expected of Vidyadhara, Dan Feng NEVER died but his existence was so altered to the point that his death would have been kinder

bonus me trying to explain to my non-hsr friend this shit;

Forever and ever

not to be delusional on main but i truly believe that tomgreg has the potential to go canon. greg’s dad is gay and if there’s one thing this show loves it’s generational similarities (and why bother having that be a plot point if not for later use). tom’s open marriage and hesitancy to cheat but easy intimacy with greg. the eventual crumbling of said marriage and tom’s subsequent closeness with greg as a blatant replacement for shiv. the ‘would you kiss me’ line, the ‘you’re mine’ water bottle pelting scene, the forehead kiss. not to fucking mention nero and sporus. tom has killed his wife, pushed her down the metaphorical stairs, and all that’s left now is for him to dress greg in her clothes and kiss him on the lips. all i’m saying is that i think the writers of succession are too smart to lay all this foundation and not follow through. it’s too good a show for that.

I'm fine (<- languishing in rare pair hell once again)

thinking abt jaime having to cuddle with a wounded brienne because it’s cold and she’s shivering and having nightmares …

How long do you think it took for Ganondorf to be captured and set to be executed after Link snitched on him, because he looks a LOT older than he was in OoT by the time of his execution in TP.

Did he just run to the desert to gather his forces before all of that or what?

Hey, thanks for the ask!!

So I have.... pretty extensive headcanons about that, but yeah basically I think he did manage to run away from Hyrule Castle, retreat in the Desert, and then waged war for a couple of years before being captured, tried and executed.

It's my HC at least, because first of all it would support the whole "him on his horse while surrounded by fire" thing the Sages introduce in TP, and it would also make the hylians less monstrous? I mean, I'm not putting it past them to take the word of a 10 year old and execute a man for crimes he has yet to commit (mostly, not forgetting about the Deku Tree, Jabu Jabu and the gorons), but I think the whole process of his death looking so ritualized seems to me like he proved himself a big enough threat that they needed to get drastic in his murder as well.

I think it's always hard to take his appearance as a cue for his age, because it's sooo open to interpretation that it's hard to say for sure. There are people who think his young model looks like he's 20, others think he's 40, and then Ganon in WW is hundreds of years old, and in TP he is basically a ghost-man?? He changes so much that I think it's hard to use anything as a baseline. But yeah, at least the hair grew back! That's something! So I would assume he ran around for at least a couple of years before the execution (and if he looks older than OoT even 7 years later than his first appearance, this version doesn't have the Triforce and, I would argue, have faced much more strife, war and trauma than his OoT counterpart. The skin care routine may have suffered as a result u_u)

Techno fans who mock Dream still now after everything are the weakest link. To think you’re such an unfunny and mean spirited person not even the wishes of a dead man passed on by his own father to be kinder to his friends are enough for you to grow the fuck up

Wait so after Blue got snaked by her people cause they thought she was too loyal to Jared, Jared dumped Blue anyways? Even though he might need her vote to stay?

Hello darlings!

If anyone’s still out there: I’m wishing you a happy and safe holiday season, and thanking you for your endless support and patience in the face of my stubborn inconsistency. It’s meant more to me than you know.

I am very plainly not a writer, and certainly not a writer of the caliber you lovely folks have told me I am, but the opportunity to write anything for a receptive audience has been phenomenal and I cannot thank you all enough.

The Seattle series has been on my mind (read: the bane of my existence) as someone who can’t leave a damn thing unfinished, so let this be a gift for you in the new year: it will get done, even if it takes me until the day I die. Peace and love y’all!

today is the first time since i started playing that i think i might not be able to solve le mot wordle...i've got the first and last letter and i'm running through all the french phonotactic rules i know and i'm coming up with nothing. got two rows left but i don't even have any guesses. ô dictionnaire ne me déçois pas quand je suis dans le besoin...

“Open it.”

Eddie blinks as he takes the gift from Danny’s hands. “You got me a Christmas gift?”

Danny shrugs and resists the urge to take the gift back and run out of there. “Yeah? And?”

Eddie’s smile is unfairly gentle. “I just think it’s sweet.” He catches Danny by the jaw. “Look at me, baby. Thank you.”

Danny presses his lips together. “You can open it.” He watches silently as Eddie peels open the wrapping paper, more delicately than he’d expected.

“It’s a book,” Eddie says. He’s not frowning, exactly, but he looks confused.

“Olive the Other Reindeer,” Danny explains. “It was my favorite as a kid. I couldn’t think of what would be a good Christmas gift for you, so I figured…” He trails off.

“This is adorable,” Eddie says. “Fuck. I forget just how sweet you can be.” He glances up and down the hallway then hauls Danny in by the waist to kiss him. It’s head spinning and spine tingling, reaching all the way down to Danny’s toes.

“I was gonna put a bow on my ass and call it a day, but I figured the book was better,” Danny says when they finally pull apart. He smiles.

“Yeah? I’ll take that too.” Eddie lets him go enough to slap him on the ass. “Come to my hotel tonight, after the show. I’ll give you your gift then.”

Danny raises an eyebrow. “Is the gift your dick with a bow on it?”

Eddie throws his head back and laughs. It’s so goddamned pretty Danny forgets for a minute that he’s not allowed to fall in love with Eddie. “Nah, baby. I got something better.”

Danny scoffs before he can stop himself. “Doubt it.”

“Now you’re just being cute.” Eddie leans in and kisses Danny again, quick and sweet this time, and pulls back. “I’ll see you later.”

Danny watches him walk away, and begins to wonder if he could wear mistletoe as a belt.

ill be skinny. it will happen. ive been trying for so long now. once it was just trying to eat less and be smaller but not much real focus on my physical appearance. now its all about that. 11 years of my ed and 7 years of wanting what i want now. i dont live with my parents anymore. i have more control. i will achieve it.

there was a time where id eat 300-700 consistently. ill get that back. i will.

rain scene in ep two really is the perfect representation of who dongsik is as a person and nam sangbae's words about dongsik helping others to make himself happy. he's holding an umbrella over that boy's head, looking at him jumping up and down and his smile is so bright and warm like he doesn't even notice that he's got no shoes on and that he's cold and wet. because the boy is safe and content and if he can keep him that way, if he can keep everyone that way, protect them from pain, sorrow and fear then maybe he can keep a tiny part of himself safe too. gain some peace and sanity in a world that is anything but that for him. for a little while he can leave his own head, see the world through their eyes, forget the horrors, escape his grief. he can't go back in time and save his past self so he saves those he can now.

his only way of interacting with the world is 'how can i help? what can i do?' but he really doesn't like when other people try to help him in return. especially when he thinks they have to sacrifice something to do it. he's annoyed with jeongje when he lies to give him an alibi. he's frustrated with jaeyi when she wants to involve herself in catching the killer. angry with juwon for trying to take the blame for him.

dongsik's attitude undergoes a huge shift first after jaeyi tells him 'i SHOULD get hurt. i want to get hurt if that's what it takes. why are you the only one making sacrifices?' and then after juwon tells him 'this is not on you. this is not your responsibility. i'll deal with it myself and i'll suffer the consequences however terrible they may be.' jaeyi tells him you're not crazy, just sad and lonely. juwon tells him you've had enough of that lonely sadness in your life. they tell him let us help so he does. gets whole team together to catch nam sanbae's killer. agrees to work together with juwon to take down han gihwan. tells jihwa about it. yeah juwon learns how to take the hand he's offered but so does dongsik. they learn that lesson together.

I really wanted to repeat an old tradition and post Soul Punk devil!Patrick for Halloween - alas, I am late. Anyway, a preview...

(With the details and full body pose, the drawing turned out so small irl, it's extremely difficult to do the lineart. I'm using a 0.03 mm liner for the details. I don't know why I keep torturing myself like this...)

random thoughts after second watch of Everything Everywhere All At Once:

i love that the alt life skills/jumping paths are activated when you do something silly and weird. because that's how LIFE is -- so WHAT if you didnt choose to be a kung fu master or a hibachi chef or a singer or a gymnast or a sign spinner in this life. if you decide you want to do those things now, it's never too late!! if you want those skills you can get them, you can LEARN!! you just have to be willing to look foolish and silly, break your own status quo and do something weird and new and sometimes deeply uncomfortable and sometimes painful and be willing to be percieved doing all that!!

Jobu Tobaki (Tupaki?) wearing her ridiculous and amazing and over the top outfits in every scene feels like an externalization of the "i feel like i am too much and no one will understand me or be able to love me because I am too much". and i think that's how Joy feels, deeply, and Jobu Tubati IS Joy, and there's this whole nilism/depression/despair/helplessness/overwhelming looking through every universe because she just wants a mother who can see all she is and not run away. and then when she finds one, SHE runs away!! god. screaming and crying and throwing up. etc.

and there's this whole layer of like, allowing people to love you. because Joy/Jobu rejects that love until the very end where she reaches BACK, she chooses to accept the love that Evelyn is giving her. even though it isn't perfect. because you are still loved in such an absolute and unconditional way, that that love transcends this universe into every universe into every life, it is so virulant a love that it is capable of infecting universes without life at all. and you are allowed to accept it and allow yourself to be loved. and there's this whole feeling i am having trouble describing of the experience of growing up and realizing your parents did not love you in the all the ways that you needed, when you were a child, and how that hurt you, but they still loved you, and they love you now, and you can decide to reject it and walk away but you can also accept their love. because as an adult you have the agency and power you didn't have as a child and you also have the choice. to feel loved, to see the love. and it doesnt erase all the trauma and pain of a childhood starving for the exact type of love&care you really needed, but it feels very much like Joy is allowing herself to hold this duality of her Mother and the duality of the love she has recieved, as both existing without either aspect invalidating the other. there's a lot going on here. the absolutely gorgeous way this movie portrayed the complexity of relationships makes me want to eat sand.

'look, ollie, i know you're dead brainy. [...] but what i need is political intelligence' 'where's all this education, where does it go when it comes to this stuff?' 'feet off the furniture, you oxbridge twat, you're not on a punt now' i ❤️ when malcolm uses ollie's specific kind of insufferable cleverness against him
