Now that I said that
Okay so we know how absolutely wild high luxe brands are. I'm not talking about Jacquemus or Telfar or even Coach (which looks cheap in comparison to some other brands). They have their own time. I mean the brands that got shit going on for nothing. Van Cleef & Arpels, the highest ends of the LVMH conglomerate, Hérmes. I mean Richard fuckin Mille watches. The high luxe that are meant to show and tell, because you damn near can't use it.
G Wagons really look like shinier jeeps unless you get them customized (which a lot of the ones seen by rich ppl are). The car already costs a small house bare boned. Then you're spending extra time and money and having no car just to add more features to it?? Richard Mille might as well be Richard Millions cuz those multi-thousand dollar watches can easily hit a million by themselves. Forget it if you want custom. Cartier has le panthère rings and bracelets that look so heavy and gaudy with the number of diamonds and jewels on it that they seem to be better to leave in a glass box—cuz let your hand accidentally swipe against your desk wearing one of these. "You can get them repaired" aight so what's the cost? "You get all these services" most under memberships—which you pay for—and even if not they're still not just free. Living somewhere where every year there's an increase in Lamborghinis around certain times of year sets as normal until you find out that a lot of ppl rent them for short term and that's it (also costs thousands a day) since the price tag is just too much.
Like there are handbags that cost the same as houses in Miami Beach and have wait-lists that go months to years. For what? VC&A has earrings that would pay my tuition every semester. Can you even be comfortable wearing such things anywhere but somewhere expensive and fancy?? Anything less than a high profile socialite event?? Because are you really gonna be comfortable putting on a $2.3m to walk up and down a new hotel? Or is my tax bracket showing?
Where's the fun in the overly expensive? Some items are so creative and artistic and truly pretty, yet are bogged down by a background of shredded ethics, greed, and arrogance. Others just don't make sense: what's the point of a highly expensive watch that can really only tell you the time and maybe the date? Some would be nice to have—and there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting some fancy/luxury stuff. But every now and then I gotta think about it. At the core, what's their point? It's not worth what they want you to sacrifice. It's not worth what they're sacrificing to create the highly exclusively cradle.

Eddie during a Q&A where he specially asked his fans to ask him questions about his marriage: Oh, just saw the question who proposed to who and-
Steve, loudly off-camera: I proposed to him and he said no!
Eddie: …first of all, you couldn’t even get gay married at the time. And second, I said no because I-
Steve: He said no because he wanted to propose to me and then DIDN’T
Eddie: I did!
Steve: A year later.
Eddie: I had to plan! I had to prep! I wasn’t going to halfass our gay fake wedding!
Eddie: And, just for your information, internet! He’s complaining and he’s making me look bad but do you know what he did? Do you know what he did the next day? I put together this beautiful ceremony with all our friends and family and you know what he did the very next day?
Eddie: He went to the courthouse and married a woman!
Steve: …Well that was for tax benefits

Okay so there's this idea for a fic I've been thinking of.
The jl are combating something that can only be touched with magic, jl dark is unresponsive (they got stuck in another dimension again), and cap - their only other magic user - is too injured.
But when they start stressing cap just slams a sheaf of papers of the table like 'pick between yourselves what powers you want, it's one each. Ig I'll sponsor you for today'.
Everyone: what?
Cap, spreading the papers to show each has a letter... Spelling out a magic word?: I'm serious. Do you want a cool new power? Consequence free? For as long as you need?
Batman:... Are you saying... You can... Give out powers?
Cap: my powers, yes. Flash, put Mercury back. That's pointless.
It'd be a great chance to have him explain his powers as a sort of reveal, including why he doesn't do it (it divides his power equally and thus severely weakens him). Also it would be very funny, I think, to see the jl in colour coded marvel suits being basically patroned by Billy. Batman has a blindingly white cowl. Flash has a cape. There's so much 'wait this chill childlike guy from some random city is actually insanely powerful' potential.
But also:
Batman, slowly pinwheeling through the air: how do I steer.

Who’s the Lawlu kid’s favorite aunt or uncle? I imagine it’s a constant battle between everybody for ‘favorite’ status
Oh for SURE. And the Straw Hats are all terribly confident it’s one of them. Esp Nami who is absolutely smitten and gets on with the kid so well. And tbh my instinct was to say Bepo lmao. But actually my self indulgent no nuance answer is penguin is best uncle that’s it goodbye
(also no nuance favorite straw hat is probably sanji or jinbei)

An alt design (redesign?) for my demon slayer oc, koharu
Wanted to incorporate the little clouds inside the cape for more coherence with the other two Ebisu siblings, and figured that since they’re the main “researcher” of the family, and the one with the least physical strength to offer, their design should lean slightly more into academia with the cape and the hat! Was thinking of making it a tonbi (overcoat with shoulder-cape down to sleeve length and inner jacket) but I think the single long cape makes the design overall easier to read :)

couldn't decide which I liked more, so you get both.
I saw a post that was like "love it when two characters are drawn cuddling and they're just like this" and then showed an image of two characters laying really close side by side. I was like: "hold my beer", and proceeded to draw them because this image popped very vividly into my head upon seeing that post.

new Wednesday headcanon unlocked: she's a total troll and probably has a secret cell phone & twitter account squirreled away somewhere.
How else would you explain that the same Wednesday who “refuses to be a slave to technology” and “doesn't have a phone” also knows, within hours of meeting, about the bad punctuation and grammar of Enid’s vlog, other than having watched it herself? Also, she says that Enid’s followers are “clearly imbeciles” who respond to Enid’s stories with “insipid little pictures” — which you would only find out about by stalking the comments.
And how else could Wednesday look at Enid and immediately have “the following emojis come to mind: rope, shovel, hole”? Wednesday has to know that these are options in the emoji-catalog, which even I wouldn't have been able to tell you off the top of my head.
TLDR: Wednesday's got us all fooled. Prove me wrong :D
Bonus: “if you're going to gossip about me, at least spell my name correctly.” Are these professional gossiping-standards you want to uphold there, Wednesday? Hm?
