I love all your kyman hc's so much!!!!😭❤ I just need to hear more, so here are my questions: if kyman got married how would they act around each other? And do you think they'd adopt kids and if yes: what would they name them? And would they raise them jewish or christian or both?

Aaahhh I know there are too many questions I'm sorry 😭😭

Don’t apologize, I love talking about kyman :D

Regardless of context, the core of their dynamic is: Cartman is the instigator, Kyle reacts, a little back and forth, escalate the issue to Nth degrees of insanity, Kyle lands the final blow. Though sometimes, depending on the issue, Kyle lands the last punch thinking he’s won, only for Cartman to win the war last minute. Another way the show’s mixed things up, is that Kyle’s victory is undermined either by South Park itself, or Cartman. I see their marriage as an opportunity to expand their unique dynamic and introduce new plotlines/ jokes that couldn’t be done if they were still kids.

I see Cartman taking Randy’s place as the adult that’s always up to no good, the fixture of South Park’s weirdness. self serving hijinks flare up just about every week. Meanwhile, the Sharon (or straight man) to offset that cannot be anyone else but Kyle. This time however, unlike the marshes, and perhaps most couples in South Park, the Brofloski’s are truly in love. That’s kinda the joke. The couple that started out insulting each other and trying to kill each other on multiple occasions end up in the happiest relationship. I see them fitting nicely among the pantheon of sitcom couples— Mitchel and Cameron, Marge and Homer, Ralph and Alice, Gomez and Morticia. Their relationship, in Trey fashion, pays homage to and in the same breath, mocks those classic couples.

TLDR, Their dynamic is in tact, it’s just evolved to a new label. Instead of sort of friends-ish, they’re a couple. They’re still loud, obsessed with each other, fight over issues, hang out and share similar tastes. Only this time they got rings on their fingers. And if they don’t fistfight, how do they deal with their classic arguments? Well, like any sensible american couple, of course! they fuck each other’s brains out! ( just kidding. I have this vision of Cartman doing the most outrageous shit and Kyle chasing him offscreen in anger, Cartman shouting “domestic abuse domestic abuse!”)

I’m not sure what they’d name their kids. Does it matter? I do know what personalities I’d like them to have though— the 1st, their oldest, is outgoing, entitled, bossy, manipulative, a performative people pleaser, makes everyone’s problems their responsibility, and is quick witted. (A 2w3) Much like Eric, they are exceptionally charismatic and love being in the limelight. And like Kyle, they love getting involved in the lives of others, seen as helpful. The 2nd child is less outspoken, prefers to keep opinions to themselves, a dispassionate observer. ( poster child for 8w9) Like Eric, they’re materialistic, and prone to laziness. Still, they are an intellectual like Kyle, and far more principled in comparison to their sibling/Eric. They’re probably the most capable and dangerous in the family. They don’t shoot themselves in the foot like Cartman, and they don’t fight against the currents of South Park like Kyle. If they wanted to, they could take over the world and succeed where the Brofloskis failed. They just don’t care though lol.

I could never, ever see them as a two religion household. Yeah, Cartman has been portrayed as a bigoted Christian (or in his words, “[used] Christianity as an excuse to be a piece of shit”), but carrying that extremity to adulthood isn’t as funny. I don’t know how to articulate that other than, many extreme right wingers on twitter weren’t able to read Cartman’s bigotry in Cupid Ye as hyperbolic and instead took it as fact, and praised the stuff he whispered into Tolkien’s ears. His actions in Cissy were recently trending and was seen as heroic and like, justification why trans ppl can’t use whatever bathrooms they want. You can’t escalate the crazy stuff from real life anymore— it’s become reality. So the funniest thing to do, is either personify it as something else or, run in the opposite direction. If anything, PC has shown us that it’s funnier that the very same kid who once belittled Judaism in fact, became devoutly Jewish and proceeded to rub it in everyone’s faces rather than him ending up as some evil businessman. You rob bigots the chance to idolize Cartman, but give Cartman the freedom to hone his brand of idiocy on other things. So! Kyle slaps the antisemitism outta him, they get married, bam. They are a Jewish family.

I never expected to cry watching Only Friends. But Ray and Sand made me cry. That apartment scene tore my heart apart and stomped on it and left me half dead. But the therapy scene finished me. Khao really understood what it means to be addicted to something. The way he portrayed the outbreak, the helplessness and hopelessness was just pouring out of him and he knew that he had done wrong by Sand. All the anger, hurt, sorrow and misery just came boiling out until there was nothing left. He threw himself into Sand's arms hoping that at least Sand would understand him even after accusing him of doing it all for money.

I can never get over how good of an actor Khao is. The despair in his eyes when he confronted Sand and the misery in his whole being when he went back to therapy was one of the best scenes I've ever seen hands down, in all media.

I'll never get over the dynamic First and Khao have because the way they bounce off of each other is phenomenal. And that was on full display today.

*standing ovation*

Just piggybacking onto an earlier Ask pointing out how Ray doesn't react when Top holds Mew's hands - I actually found that whole sequence starting from the coke-snorting quite upsetting precisely because of how passive Ray seemed throughout. Admittedly I'm still very angry at Mew so it might be clouding my judgement(!), but first we see Mew's lacklustre response when Ray thanks him for picking him, his almost scoff when Ray tells him he loves him, then we get the avoided kiss and him leading Ray out by the hand, and then the Top confrontation where it felt like Ray had been totally reduced to an accessory - he's virtually silent throughout, his face is mostly pretty blank, and he doesn't even really react when Mew throws his drink in Top's face, and definitely doesn't look like he's enjoying the encounter, at least until Mew kisses him. Mew might have been the one in the collar but in that scene it's Ray that reminded me of a dog, and it just made me super sad. It's yet another reason they shouldn't be a couple - Ray's sense of self is entirely subsumed by Mew when they're together because of the imbalance in their relationship aka Ray's idolisation (which in itself obviously isn't Mew's fault - it's when he takes advantage of it that I get mad). We see it even before they "get together" - in almost all their 1:1 scenes, Ray immediately deflects any attention back onto Mew. The only time we really see him express his own agency is unfortunately/disastrously a) the bathtub scene, b) when he kisses him while he's sleeping, and c) his ep 6 meltdown (I'm not counting the end of ep 7 convo cos I 100% believe Ray wouldn't have brought anything up if Mew hadn't led the convo in that direction). Anyway, don't really have a point much beyond expressing how, given what happened beforehand, Ray still just makes me ache with pity and sadness, even after he turns on Sand.

“Mew might have been the one in the collar but in that scene it's Ray that reminded me of a dog”

^Yes, that is a perfect way to describe it!! I think all the context before Ray’s fight with Sand is what makes that scene hit so much different than it does in the Ep8 preview. That might also be why we see Ray fade to the background so much during the encounter between Top and Mew. Ray’s realizing that he’s only a pawn in Mew’s revenge plot.

You’re right—Ray’s agency with Mew is extremely limited. The interesting thing is that Ray has kind of imposed these limitations onto himself by putting Mew on such a pedestal. I think there’s a part of him that is utterly terrified that he will do something wrong and lose Mew. But I suspect there’s another part of him that wants better from Mew; I wouldn’t be surprised if he denies those thoughts though, because he thinks he has no right to them. He has Mew, and that’s already more than he deserves (obviously that’s not true, but I could see that being Ray’s thought process during the scene with Top).

Really, the ways Ray interacts with Mew are so painfully indicative of how much he craves someone to care about him. He’s decided that Mew is that person, so he will do all he can to make it so, even if the reality doesn’t live up to the fantasy. Of course it will take a lot for him to finally admit it won’t work out, simply because he’s spent so long wanting it.

Ahh, tbh the psychological insights are the only compelling aspect of the RayMew dynamic for me, haha. Poor Ray.

I know you won’t consider Suicide Squad as canon but what your AK!Jason thoughts when Bruce faked his death?

He feels really fucking stupid for mourning the asshole. How could the man put his family through that?! The Bruce he knew definitely didn't let Dick or Babs or the new kid in on his plans, leaving them to grieve. And if he's being honest, it also rankles him that Alfred went along with it.

(Of course, deep down, buried beneath all of the bitterness and hurt, he feels relief that the pair is still alive. Perhaps someday he'll... well, he's just glad they're still around.)

I'm not considering it canon, mostly because I don't plan to play it (not a fan of live service games). But if there are parts I like I will probably ingest them into my Arkhamverse 😁 It could be interesting to explore what Jay's up to during the events of the game 🤔

meet the artist but instead of describing myself with bullet points i use symbolism

i'll have explanations in the tags... i realize there are a couple reasons MTAs are difficult for me, not liking the format of having a list of facts is one of them (not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not for me 💔)

“Your BP is high again. Did you take your medication, mom?” Sand

“The bar closes at 2am. And you drag me early morning. When do I have time to take my meds? Listen, you are always taking care of me. But don’t forget to take care of yourself. Live your teenage live. Be wild and free!!!” Mom

“Don’t worry mom. I’ve been wild a long time ago.” Sand 😁

“Hem…that rich friend of yours. Is he your boyfriend?” Mom

“That guy? No, just a friend. But we sometimes have fun together.” Sand

“Let me warn you boy. ‘We’re not a thing. We are just having fun.’ Be careful, it might not be fun anymore one day.” Mom

Only Friends, Episode 6

The wisest mom ever (I love Sand and his mom’s relationship!!! … unfortunately Mom, the boat has truly sailed with your son 🥹)

Top four paintings are all masterpieces ranging from 1k to 2.6k simoleons. Bottom four are all excellent paintings over 500 simoleons. Janine has been painting a lot and with a plan in mind! She is selling these paintings to Art Galleries and collectors so she can put a deposit down on a new home. :D

Imagine the crew explaining what happened when they were marooned on the island and Stede just looks at them disapprovingly and says “Fake talent show?! Oh come ON, guys, that’s the OLDEST trick in the book!”

This is the sort of absurd comment I expect from The Very Dramatic Gentleman Pirate/Thespian.

If you like Indiana Jones, check out The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Rope of Sand, The African Queen, and Pimpernel Smith

i saw this lizard today and one of my thoughts was that’s it’s watermelon coded!!! like you!!

oh fuck yeah LIZARD TIME!! there are a lot of lizards in the summer where I live, but I've never been able to successfully catch one--my dad has though! and then we get to look at them up close before we let them go off to their merry little lives

they're never this color though, they're brownish neutral--like this guy! you know. because I live in a desert. so no watermelon lizards for me, but that's okay because you've got watermelon lizards!

me and that lizard are so the same rn, we're so so smart <3

Hil'jit of the Burning Sands

Hil'Jit the Burning Sand was born on a stormy night at the end of Morning Star. His mother and father belonged to a small tribe of nomadic Khajiit that migrated from Northern and Southern Elswyr. The jungles never suited him however and when he grew old enough he traveled to southern Morrowind to learn from a great Argonian Warden, Shows-the-Way. Tragedy struck during the end of his training, and his mentor was killed in the beginning of the Deadric Prince Molag Bal's assault of Nirn. Hil'Jit survived only because of the knowledge he learned from the old sage and the help of a loyal cliff racer who followed him through Oblivion.

"He was different, though he never knew exactly why. Because of his particular trait, he preferred to live away from the city. He didn't expect his exceptional trait, would leave him the enemy of Molag Bal, and a key part in the turning of the Era."

i still rewatch his “i’m finAAAAAAAAAAA”

from here

I do like the reborn approach w exp candies making it very easy to jump 30 levels straight + the main city having a part where you can rematch high exp trainers for faster grinding which is why I've slightly disliked this part of the game but it does make it interesting the format it pushes on the player of having to change around a team instead of a permanent set of 6

x sorry h is not the best sot player anymore like even if its not dream it would then go to george or something 💀

imo hbomb is still one of the best sands of time leaders and he is very efficient etc etc but dream is the best leader + player combo and george is just one of the best people to have on ur team for the game however i would not say george is better than hbomb at sands of time

thinking....... about people specifically requesting Connor-in-particular when they end up having to interact with the police
