Tané, and the star that was inside her.

Something I love about Leo is that, canonically, he IS capable of cooking, he’s just completely incapable of using a toaster. He’s banned from the kitchen not out of an inability to make edible food, but because being within six feet of a toaster causes the poor appliance to spontaneously combust.

kidswaps that i'm making. dave plays the sims models them after his friends and mother and psychoanalyzes them and rose would have listened to 100 gecs if 100 gecs existed in 2009. thank you

I feel like I'm aiding a protagonist in his quest to stop being the villain and begin to become a hero

Do y'all wanna hear a story? Lol

Why are people who look at comic books from a “critical real-world lens” so obsessed with identifying the one person who is “100% right”. That doesn’t even exist in the real world.

Lost Days wasn’t made to protest global issues. It is a comic book exploring fictional character Jason’s mental journey after being resurrected and regaining consciousness against his will and/or power. Now how dare this character, in his own story where he has his own personal objective, not go out of his way to make sure each individual child from the collective hundreds he saved from traffickers and the likes gets adopted into nice homes. Obviously we have to disregard any good he did or that he cares at all because all he did was kill the fucker at the top who was responsible. Winick also never fleshed out all 42 of the trafficked children into nuanced characters with their own thoughts and feelings which was apparently neglectful lol.

In regards to utrh, Idk what this person read but there were more drug dealers Jason didn’t kill than those he did. Not once did he ever say he wanted to eliminate the flow of drugs in the community. He took over the trade. Not to mention he explicitly stated control vs elimination is where his goals differed from Bruce’s pipe dream hence why he’s successful and Bruce is still failing. Obviously if you completely misunderstand the character’s motivations you’ll find issues that don’t exist.

People just don’t want stories to be about what they are about, huh.

because i hadn’t read the manga before and therefore had no idea what to expect, i was a bit wary about tadaima okaeri airing as the first omegaverse anime because just there’s so many possible pitfalls when telling stories in the omegaverse, and especially when telling those stories for an audience that may or may not be well-versed with the mechanisms and tropes of the genre. however that being said, now that i’ve watched the first episode, i am much less wary!! honestly i don’t think they could have done a better job picking and adapting an omegaverse story for a wider audience, i appreciated the attention to politics and world building, i really really like that female alphas were mentioned within the first five minutes and that - while there don’t seem to be any women in the main cast - it wasn’t just only men in the cast of characters. i think they handled the introduction to some of the more shocking parts of omegaverse really well, frankly and with normalcy, and i also don’t think they’ve fallen into the pitfall of treating omegas like stereotypical yaoi ukes which tbh i was really worried about lol

also just, it’s really hecking cute and wholesome i was cooing every time hikari was on screen he’s just adorable and the parents (i'm sorry i've forgotten their names) are also just so in love and soooo wholesome <3

i mean, just look at them!!!

adorable…

i did not expect to like it as much as i did, but i will almost certainly be keeping up with this show!

A sizeable chunk of the fanbase (especially those who read the webtoon) seeing Collei in 3.0: aw thank goodness she’s doing well and even has two dads who are in love :)

Hoyoverse half a year later, writing Cyno and Tighnari into an event that in-game half of Mondstadt considers a lovers’ festival: shit shit shit shit shit we have to no-homo this

gimme that recipe bro, I need some veggies

sure! i actually just wrote it down (i dont really have quantities cus i measure that shit with my heart, but ill go over what i did!)

ingredients were just veggies i like that i know roast well. what i used was:

zucchini tomato parsnip turnip potato carrot red bell pepper onion garlic and the spices/seasonings: balsamic vinegar oil (we just use vegetable oil but something nice like olive oil would be great) thyme salt n pepper sunflower seeds (we used roasted salted ones cus its what we had, but theyre getting cooked anyways so im sure raw ones are fine. the double roastedness of them was tasty tho) cilantro (as a garnish, dont really need it if u dont wanna) and here are the steps:

preheat the oven to 400F halve and scrape out the zucchini to make lil bowls (keep the insides for the filling) put em in a pan or something cus theyre gonna be drippy and smushy drizzle the zucchini bowls with the olive oil n vinegar. thinly slice all the veggies ratatouille style and toss em in a bowl with the vinegar, oil, crushed garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and sunflower seeds. fill up the zucchini bowls with all that and sprinkle a little more salt and sunflower seeds on top. cover with foil and bake for 30min or so, then uncover and let it get a little crispy (5-10 more mins) and tada! all done!

i don't have exact measurements, but when we made it i felt like it could have used more balsamic vinegar than we put in, which was sorta just a drizzle to coat it all when i tossed it, so maybe keep that in mind! a lot of ratatouille recipes want you to simmer the tomatoes and onions down first, so that might be a good thing to try to give it a little more juice or cohesiveness. and definitely use plenty of seeds if you enjoy those. they bestowed an excellent nuttiness to it and i was very happy with the flavors!! parsnips are lovely and aromatic and i adore them.

another thing we didn't have on hand which woulda been super tasty is a little grated cheese on top to get all nice and crispy. maybe a gouda or something would be nice!

we're gonna use the leftovers to make a big soup tomorrow with some homemade stock that we had frozen!

i wish kaigaku wasn't evil i would've loved to see him as the thunder hashira potentially

i think kaigaku should get to continue to commit atrocities because its funny <33

genuinely tho god this is such a Concept because like. yes yes the nuances of good vs evil and potential vs execution but honestly i just. dont think thats something thats fully in the cards for him. because like... his selfishness is such a huge part of Him as a character that getting rid of it just feels like itd make him.. an Entirely Different Character. its a Core Character Trait.

like!!! yeah!!!! i would really love to see him actually get along (or interact at all) with other characters!!! but for him specifically, the fact that hes so genuinely selfish is what makes him so interesting. its less of what he does, and more of how does he get there. personally, of course.

and then, especially with the whole pillar thing, i genuinely do not think that would make him any happier. i dont know what would. i dont even know if he does either.

this is getting away from me but tl;dr: seeing him in a non-(solely)-antagonistic role would be really fun but because of how his character is at a core point, it would have to be something intensely worked towards to make it feel satisfying and not disregard the things that are Very Much Wrong With Him

Very funny to me always when people say, "I'll bet you'd like this character if they were a woman," because no. I wouldn't. If a character is poorly-written, that poor writing stays regardless of the gender of the character involved. If a character does one of the Few Specific Things That Always Annoys Me, I will continue to be annoyed. I hate this character because they suck, not because he's a man.

“‘Does it bother you?’ she asked me. I did not ask her what she meant. ‘Strange to say, no. You are you. Fool, Lord Golden, Amber, and Beloved. You are you, and we know each other as well as any two people can. ‘Beloved,’ she said, and smiled sadly. I did not know if she repeated my word, or if the Fool called me by his own name. She dropped her hands to the top of the table, gloved atop the bared one. ‘There was a time,’ she began, where you would have hated this masquerade.’ ‘There was,’ I agreed. ‘And this is a different time.’”

God while Fitz had remained stubbornly unchanged in some ways in others he has really grown. This is a much wiser and more mature version of him than Tawny Man or Farseer

it seems like i’m being ignored by source blogs the last few days, despite my posts showing up in tags without any problems. great.

I love writers I love when they ramble on abt characters and their motivations, their core values and the reasons why they react to things in certain ways and having character interactions work off of each other due to their differing ways of viewing the world and in general I just love character analysis

I wouldn’t have been mad if this was the first or second episode of the season tbh

hate that AI has tainted certain artstyles

i can't imagine being an artist that's poured hours into developing a style only for it to be dumped into some database and used to create a cheap mockery of that original work

then to have people think that the work you've put time and effort into creating was generated in a matter of minutes

My lukewarm take is that while A:tlA did most of what it set out to do impeccably, "what it set out to do" was never really that good or groundbreaking
