Nair, there's a theory going around that Enderman used to be human. Is it true?

Nair: if it is real, then it make me wonder why there isn't any humans round

Propaganda: King of the Wind was one of my very favorite books as a kid, so I have to show my love for Sham. Based on the historical Godolphin Arabian, Sham gets a full-on melodramatic life story, born in the royal stables (with a whorl in his coat that marks him as unlucky, but a white spot on his heel that marks him as fortunate -- oh, the drama!), orphaned and raised by a Devoted Young Human Who Understands Him, beautiful with his honey-touched bay coat and incredible speed, carried off to France as a royal gift where he is summarily dissed because Europeans don't understand Arabian conformation, becoming a cart horse who's starved and mistreated (but still tended to by his Devoted Human), beating up a less pretty and special race horse who wants to get with his girlfriend, and then going on to found a line of successful racehorses (who, according to legend, have the same glowing honey tones in their coat), and living out the rest of his days in well-deserved equine luxury. Sham is heroic, his story is engrossing, and Wesley Dennis' illustrations are completely charming.

#okay i promise i'm going to get off tumblr and actually get something decent done#but i just have to mention that i started reading 'thief liar lady'#the cinderella retelling where she's pulling a con#which i did not have high expectations for because that concept screams 'we're going to prove how dumb the original cinderella story is'#so i have to give it credit that so far it's pleasantly surprising me by pulling back every time it's about to do something stupid#within the first page or two we have 'they say the slippers were glass and the carriage was made of a pumpkin which is so dumb'#which seems like standard cinderella bashing but it's also framed as an explanation of the magic system#as in 'this is a waste of magic based on the rules' not 'this story is stupid and my 'real' one is better' so i can live with it#we have the enemy prince she's trying to con but he's not a dumb strawman royal#he's actually a sweet guy and a shrewd diplomat#all the royals are actually getting credit for talents as well as flaws#no strawmen in sight (i still shudder to remember 'just ella')#it feels like real politics#and there is *so much* politics and i am eating it up#(which makes me realize that one of the reasons i love cinderella retellings is that there's a lot of potential for politics)#we did have a scene where she goes into the throne room and meets a strange disheveled nobleman lounging on the throne#which made me roll my eyes because you could not have had a more obvious 'meeting the ya love interest' scene#but then there's a scene where she's like 'i don't care about embroidery'#and i internally groaned#but then she's like 'but i do like the embroidery circle because it's relaxing to be away from the men for a while'#so to my delight i could cancel the 'not like other girls' alert#the queen is feminine and her social skills are presented as a vital political skill#the swearing is really stupid and out of place and brings the book down#and i know that there'll most likely be something that makes me stop reading it before the 25% mark#but i do want to give the book credit for pleasantly surprising me#i'm liking it more than i otherwise would because of all the ways i was expecting it to disappoint me

I love the idea that Ganondorf gives serious side eye to anyone wearing green he sees while setting a new plan in motion.
Like his internal monologue is just "Oh he thinks he's being SO subtle, sneaking around breaking pots and talking to the princess. Look at that pointy eared green fuck. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO BOY! DON'T THINK YOU CAN PULL THAT WIND WAKER SHIT WITH ME AGAIN!"
Meanwhile it's just Barnum, the postman's boy, wearing his favorite green tunic and white leggings. Never to set foot out of his hometown, let alone go on a grand quest to defeat the king of evil.

I haven't played GTA since like....high school(?), but isn't it supposed to at least theoretically be a bit more grimy and mob movie than the cartoon alien invasion stuff Saint's Row turned into? (I say this having spent ~100 hours blowing up aliens with a dubstep gun in SR4)
what i mean is that saints row is the one with truly gratuitious sex and violence and which leans in to the 'causing mayhem is fun and the point of this' thing. but yeah i think it got stupid later on im talking about the ones that have similar approximate premises to GTA (eg ur crime guys in a city) and even on-the-face-of-it mob movie esque plots (somebody fucked you over in a bank robbery, e.g.) but also you can beat people to death with a giant floppy dildo with lovingly rendered screams and begging

Omg…. Idr most of my dream but at the very end I was trying to get to this farmers market up north but my gps took me off road and I was approaching this big forest with this huge gorgeous tree at the center and there were all these snakes that were all posed like this
Tumblr media
Like upright… and some were fighting one another and I was like ummm omg… Then the gps said in order to progress I had to face off against one and I was like WHAT!!! My only other option was to draw some chemical structure

Mentally I'm holding Gurkle by his claws and spinning (slowly) in a circle with joy that he's alive, but physically I'm sitting here watching him nap swinging my legs and cooing at him like he's a baby

i genuinely hate any wave of human history that has us like. Breed an animal to do a Job for us and then we just go "ok now I want them all dead" and it's always for some goddamned arbitrary reason that is inherently our fault and not at all the fault of the animal

I don’t think we talk about Briar enough. This girl is living the life in the Winter Court with all the hot fae and cute, cuddly winter animals.
I want to be her.

Petition to call them Ciel and Other Ciel? Or Ciel and Dead Ciel? Ciel and Unnatural Ciel? Or some other variation? Bizarro Ciel?
I mean, they’re both ‘real’. Not sure on the memories and making new ones but the Living Corpse Ciel died. The one with Undertaker should be the odd man with weird additions to his name.
Like, Ciel has make it clear that it’s been a few years and obviously he’s not giving us his name. He’s even gone on a little mental break where he’s claimed the name again (idk if it was duck or chicken but that panel was hilarious). In hindsight when reading, it’s obvious he isn’t the original Ciel, but he is the little shit we know, we just now know that he took up a dead name. (Haha) He is the real live human being he proclaimed to be way back in the Circus Arc.
Besides, other Ciel is still technically dead, even if the non-mystical non-underworld can’t comprehend. Even Sebastian has said that there was no possible way he couldn’t have died then because the life needed to be taken for him to even be there to make a deal.
But still, this is a giant and overreaching arc to deal with and if you think about it is still not Ciel’s main quest he’s living for. Corpse Ciel isn’t sustainable and from what I can tell doesn’t really have the drive to get shit done, both physically and because he’s too busy trying to feel alive again.

Well now Quiz has to kick Solas' ass just to be able to say that they defeated three gods. Bring out the rest of evanuris, Quiz is kicking all the gods. Does the maker exist who know but Quiz will fight him.
Alaris doesn't particularly want to kick Solas's ass due to Complicated Feelings Towards Him and he doesn't want to kick the Evanuris's asses because there are layers and layers of religion-based Issues surrounding the whole "Oh yeah the gods you have dedicated your life to and the worship of whom has been basically your only solace the entire time you've been trapped in the Inquisition were slavers actually okay bye" thing that he is not going to be emotionally prepared to even acknowledge for at least ten years much less unpack enough to be comfortable with the idea of fighting them (it's bad enough that he's going to have to fight Fen'Harel, if he has to fight Dirthamen he might actually just drop dead on the spot). But he might actually make his next quest after dealing with Solas "Find out if the Maker is real, and if so find a way to kill him" out of pure spite. Hey, he's killed two gods already, he can definitely find a way to make it a hat trick.
