combining the lukas has slow mornings headcanon with jesskas

they kiss again under the cut btw. just in case you don’t want to see that. or in case you do 🤨

Pk so I've been thinking for a while about how ergonomics would look on Cybertron.

Like first of all bots come in such a wide variety of sizes that realistically, common household items would too. Like if we take TFA as an example, and compare Bumblebee to maybe Optimus, and give them a reasonably sized cup each, there would be a cast size difference. And like some things like doors, especially in public places, would probably be built to accommodate the biggest bots, but what about apartments and homes?

Also, before war and factions splitting and etcetera, you needed roads for those with ground-based vehicle modes, but what about those who could fly? Were the towera built with landing spots and entrances in mind? Also, other bodily variations. Some bots have claws instead of "regular" hands, or the variety in vehicle modes even within a single group would make a lot of difference for how they get around.

Also, and i know a lot of people have discussed this before, but beds. Because i think we've all looked at certain characters and thought "there is no way this guy could lay comfortably on their back". Be it wings, or other kibble, or just being shaped weird, I think realistically there would be a "standard" type of bed used in places like hospitals, or army bases or stuff like that. But otherwise there would be a LOT of options to change a bed to suit one's own needs. Because again, with the way some bots are shaped they would realistically have to either have a very specialized bed for proper support, or just lay very specifically.

Dying over the fact that Nick Heidfeld manages to make Fernando look tall

there is some symbolism iv never considered in that one episod of pt5 where zenigata rescues fujiko before she kills lupin

Thinking about Kris being a lonely kid who grew up in her home town without any friends. The only other child she knew was the professor's son who was at least 5 years younger than her and the first friend she made started off as some asshole thief that shoved her to the ground and called her names.

Even as she traveled and met all sorts of people, she never really made any strong connections or even knew how to small talk enough to keep up a conversation besides a few tips about pokémon locations, battle rematches, or the occasional gossip spoken at her (trainer calls).

She was a good, tho very awkward, kid who liked helping people out (running errands for both professors, taking letters for others, helping sick and hurt pokémon) , learning about pokémon, and battling. She was better at forming bonds and making friends with animals, significantly more than humans that when people asked her to watch over their pokémon for them, the pokémon didn't want to go back to their original humans on various occasions (the spearow mail carrier, the protected shuckle).

A legendary beast saw the purity of her heart and sought to test her out as a trainer. It saw how deeply she loved and cared for pokémon (happiness mechanic) and needed to know more.

Her rival learned to care about his pokémon through evaluating his actions and comparing them to hers and realizing his lack of compassion and care, to treat them as teammates rather than tools. Both are still very awkward around people but not around their pokémon and not with each other. They would meet up from time to time; she'd see him improve and resume training after another loss (Indigo Plateau rematch and Dragon's Den training).

Sometimes while battling, she would dress as a boy because she felt like she wasn't taken seriously as a girl (outfit changes in link cable battles and trades).

She reminded people of another great trainer who was known for his kindness and love of battling, saw how his family and friends missed him (Green/Blue, Sabrina, Copycat, Red's mom). When she does find him, she earns herself the battle of a lifetime.

Her mom worries about her and buys her gifts as an incentive to stop by home from time to time (room decorations and money saving). Even if she stops by and adds more decore by trading with new people (mystery gift) she's never home for very long.

Another legeendary is drawn to her by a mysterious gift presentes to her (mobile adapter and gs ball event).

She takes on the challenge of the new Battle Tower and seeks to potentially become the top battler there (first battle tower introduced).

As most people never played Crystal, I feel like few people remember her as she was and it bums me out because she was such a sweet and special kid. She's usually just tacked on to the HGSS trio as an afterthought

I'm pretty suprise with 4.7 database, hoyo decided to sailing Sethos x Wanderer (additionaly HaiKaveh become more closer) and how heartwarming Sigewinne character story could be...

"youre crying about standard training dummy rabbit?"

"the blind trust and genuine desire to help got to me."

"i see."

Favourite Gothic Horror Women in Videogames: Laura Victoriano | Bela Dimitrescu | The Shade

One kinda fun/odd bit about Discworld is the place of Jews/Judaism in it (no, this probably won't go where you expect).

So there are the 2 obvious places and one arguably subtle/debatable place:

Feet of Clay/Golems very clearly drawing from Judaism (though in subsequent books that was toned *way* down)

Omnianism is a very clear stand in for/amalgamation of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (the amount of each is left as an exercise to the reader).

and Lastly / debatably many people find a similarity between the description of the Dwarf religion and Judaism (I am not stating I agree, just I would have been remiss if I didn't bring it up)

Now the one thing that kinda gets forgotten is that: Judaism as a whole independent religion is somewhat confirmed in Discworld leaving arguments about the above somewhat moot! (you can't have a stand in for a religion if you already have the religion itself).

In both Feet of Clay and Fifth Elephant it mentions Vampires working at Kosher Butchers (for those unaware blood is not kosher so it needs to be drained extra well from meat, a perfect job for a vampire).

Now what does that actually imply? Absolutely nothing.

PTerry often had off the cuff jokes, as well as mucked about with continuity (remember how Trolls originally would continue to grow until they died, and could get up to the size of a small mountain, which only came up in one of the early books and was ignored in the rest?) and (I am sure) just liked that joke and did not intend to imply any theological ramifications or serious world building from it.

But dammit, it is (to me) incredibly funny to step into a (semi) serious discussion about Judaism in Discworld and completely derail it with a throw away line.

Okay now I'm just imagining a Japanese hero celebrity to try and use there celebrity status in some random town in like Wisconsin, and the townfolk just start cocking their gun

Based Texans hearing that this random spandex-wearing motherfucker is the reason Darlin' is back home in hiding with her family

this show is hilarious because neal will do something illegal, he'll go to work where they'll have a briefing that discusses something illegal, and everybody else in the room will be aware that he's done something that is illegal, but nobody wants to put him in jail so they'll just make passive aggressive comments, have whispered conversations just out of his earshot, and stare meaningfully at him

So I started reading Berserk this afternoon after finding it online. Currently I’m making my way through the Black Swordsman arc

And I gotta ask, why the heck is this thing currently my favorite character?

I hate linking videos for whatever reason but the submission box will only let me embed one so. Guess I'll Die. BUT ANYWAY. You can see what I'm talking about here and here (also hiiiii Nakai, Iura, and Terajima) but I think Jo should have Tsutsumi's nervous tics like rubbing his lip and blinking fast :) I think it would be cute :) moe even :) though he doesn't have much to be nervous about :) but I mean once in a blue moon y'know :) OK that's all bye

OH BUT WAAAAAIT WAVELENGTH i always did imagine jo having a nervous-blinking type of tendency i am AHEAD of you brother (╯▽╰ )(╯▽╰ )

wanted to write something today (i have an ESSAY DUE TODAY and i have WIPS) but instead im thinking abt my mom. lol

Aaaaa!!! I still have a couple I need to go back and fiddle with a bit, but I’ve finally started writing the last of the shorts!!! AAAA!!!

It’s frustrating seeing so much hate toward a promo campaign that’s barely started to roll out. Those fan billboards went up before tickets were even available for purchase. There’s still a month until release and there could be so much more planned. I’m not expecting hollywood blockbuster levels of promo but it makes sense to me that promo wouldn’t be a top priority until there’s something people buy

I have so much on my general Louis Tomlinson bingo card, but people bitching about his promo team in 2023 sure wasn't one of 'em--and yet, it sure should have been, given *gestures randomly at the constant never-ending drone-like dirge of "fans" valiantly supporting this struggling indie busker nobody has heard of and certainly isn't making passive millions every 28 hours from four years of writing some of the previous decade's biggest tunes*
