#castform #:)! they're so pleased..! they like the weather… it's so pleasant right now… (VERY HOT) (NINETY DEGREES) (TOO HOT)#they're smiling… :)! they like something you said you were nice to them :)!#this pokémon has that gimmick where they like. change types based on the weather which is. like cool i guess i dunno if it's good #in competitive but i never used it personally. i feel like i always got it at too low of a level to want to grind it up #it's like ok. i feel like castform's moveset kinda has to be weather ball or whatever it is and then three weather setup moves so you can #actually use it and utilize the type-changing ability to its fullest extent. because if your opponent sets up weather then they're probably #already benefitting from it and you don't want them to benefit from it. because that means your weather ball probably isn't going to be good #against the theoretical opponent's type. and then it takes two moves to use any given type's version of weather ball so i just. don't #see how it could be that good. i will look it up on smogon cuz i imagine it's pretty decent in doubles bc then you can have the Other pokémo #n set up the weather so castform can use it but like if it's not even that strong to begin with #it certainly doesn't look it #yeah it's always been kinda mid it looks like. started off better around gen 4 and then just slooowly fell off up to gen 7 #dunno! still don't care a ton about competitive but i don't even care about this pokémon in not-competitive. sorry‚ castform fans

the man(?), the myth(?), the legend(?)

#actually one of the hardest designs to figure out for some reason #his voice and maner of speech have a *very* specific vibe in my head that i can't quite pinpoint #gave him a goatee in some sketches for that exact reason. he just doesn't look uh something enough without it #like? you know what i mean?#when niklaus says 'well. certainly' and 'let's make a deal. yes?' in his damn voice the image in my head is both very vivid and nonexistent #augh #anyway i like him a lot. he's cool :3 chilling in his ghibli themed pocked dimension #jrwi riptide #jrwi niklaus #niklaus hendrix #my art #sketch

#aaaa dangit ;v;#first of all it's honestly unfathomable you managed to draw this on your phone how on earth #you must have some intense fine motor skills to achieve this kind of precision on such a small screen #zero judging necessary #their body language seems so natural yet expressive I love it #the way Vasco is leaning over the counter like he owns the place (he doesn't but certainly does his best to give that impression)#his expression is terribly endearing as well #to me he seems a tiny bit hesitant which is a fun contrast to his confident pose #and Machete sipping his coffee with such finesse #you made him look so refined #but he's just called white boy now #really makes you think of the awkward and drawn-out trying-to-break-the-ice phase that probably preceded this #this is so sweet and you depicted them so well! thank you!#gift art #nejd08 #own characters #Vasco #Machete #modern au #I wonder if Vasco is a genuine caffeine wizard #or is he just average at best or even lowkey awful and Machete keeps going there anyway because the barista is cute and nice to him

Alderaan, 4.25 p.m, sometime after the war has ended

Breha: Oh, Fox is back from his trip to Kamino, let's go meet up with him at the docks!

Bail: Welcome back home, love, how was the-

Fox: Yes?

Bail & Breha:

The extremely adorable baby clone Fox is holding:

Fox: Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you beforehand, I am so sorry. It all happened so suddenly

Breha: Oh, we don't mind, we just didn't know that they were releasing any of the cadets from Kamino yet

Fox: They aren't

Bail: ...did you ask if you could take him?

Fox: No, because they would've said no. No one will know, though, because what are they going to do? A DNA-test? I'm his dad, of course he has the same DNA as I do.

Bail:

Breha:

Baby: Bwah

Breha: What am I the Queen for if not for forging papers

#becoming parents one baby at a time #Fox: he looks so much like his buir. which is me. it makes perfect sense #Fox has his hands full of trying to keep all the overeager uncles from stealing the baby all the time #he keeps telling them to either get or make their own #Rex is the only one who behaves and it's only because he has his own hands full with the twins #since he doesn't trust Anakin as a stay at home dad after he saw how he did with Ahsoka #Bly is certainly trying to make his own very enthusiasticly but no one wants to hear about that #anyway the papers are legit. look they are signed by the queen herself #star wars #the clone wars #commander fox #bail organa #breha organa #bail/breha/fox #Up that Mountain #no order 66 au

Thinking about the symbolic weight of smoking in the TLT universe that comes to the fore in The Unwanted Guest -- the way it moves through from person to person: Pyrrha smoked, and Augustine wanted to impress her in all her stone cold fox MILF James Bond glory (and tbf who wouldn't) so he started too. and even though as far as he knows she's been gone for a myriad and is never coming back, he keeps the habit. Ianthe sees something in the hollowed-out Faberge eggshell of Augustine that resonates with her, all that gilded eloquent emptiness and disdain through the ages, so she picked it up from him to try to emulate it. She picked it up so hard that Palamedes -- the exact spiritual antithesis of the 'smoking! on a space station! what a powermove' ennui Ianthe so admired -- spontaneously unnerded enough to even known how to, simply from a sort of contact contamination of the soul.

G1deon and Augustine sharing a jittery smoke after their near-Harrow experience during soup night, and it's the closest thing to any real sense of brotherhood that remains between them. Pyrrha going ten thousand years dying both literally and for a smoke (and then Camilla sold her fucking cigarettes (for a third of what they were worth, probably Pyrrha's own good, and also more importantly grocery money). what an entirely haunted time to be alive etc.). Augustine and Mercy trading a cigarette back and forth in the middle of their collusion over the love and murder of god.

An act of small and measured self-destruction in the name of something a little bit like connection when you're stuck somewhere in yourself where love itself dares not or cannot tread (ritualized, transmissible)..........

#the unwanted guest #the unwanted guest spoilers #the locked tomb #ianthe tridentarius #augustine the first #pyrrha dve #palamedes sextus #this series is going to make me lose my mind completely one day (affectionate)#the locked tomb meta #the fact that ianthe seems to have had some genuine admiration for augustine makes my head spin. of course though.#of course she sees the person who looks the most like he's successfully made himself impervious to the world #utterly untouchable and impossible to hurt because he isn't even really there #and she believes it! even after seeing the john mercy augustine mess at the end! because it's such a seductive idea #when you've stuck yourself in an inevitable ocean of pain to think you could make yourself numb enough that it doesn't matter #it's the emotional equivalent of 'oh there's water all around? well I just won't breathe in then. easy lmao get on my level'#she holds on to that thing from him even when it's been proved to be both impossible and ultimately untrue even in him #because uh. oh I'm about to be kind of sad for ianthe what the fuck is going on. he might actually have been the closest thing #to parental and especially paternal affection she's ever known. certainly known enough to try to model herself after #IMAGINE how fucked up the nine houses must be when augustine the first registers for anyone as a model of psychological survival #ianthe do you really want to be yourself completely so much that you're willing to be nothing. I mean yeah probably but. oh my god #gaining nothing at the cost of everything

btw Still thinking about the moment where Tula first realizes she's literally, mechanically unable to keep up with / catch Jaysohn when he bolts and runs his full speed. That revelation that she's not fast enough to stop him, or get alongside him, much less get in front of him to protect him if he needed it. The dread terror of it. :(

#N posts stuff #dimension 20 #d20: stupendous stoats #burrow's end #Siobhan said it almost like a joke but then Aabria put Weight behind it and oh boy. oh boy. there's Terror there babey!!!!!!#sure hope that doesn't come back in any significant way in any significant scene. ...........#It's like the moment in ep 2 when Tula's initiative fell behind Both Lila and Jaysohn and the only thing she could do was Watch #as they both jumped into the battle ahead of her. because she couldn't keep up with them...#look Sometimes catching a recurring theme in an actual play show doesn't necessarily Mean anything bc of the improv nature of it #but Obviously the dice also tell stories. and Aabria is a Fantastic GM. and the players are Excellent at role play. so it's..... 👀#certainly not off the table. G-D i'm so invested in this season i'm fully gonna lose my mind no matter what happens lmao #i'm on the edge of my SEAT

The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman

#Cyberpunk 2077 #Phantom Liberty #Phantom Liberty Spoilers #Johnny Silverhand #Hnurrg no thoughts head empty except for Johnny's thoughts during the Leon Rinder gig #Setting him up directly as a light mirror to Rinder to the point that their names are literally one letter off from each other #Linder and Rinder -- L and R; aka Left and Right-- two branching paths #Allowing Rinder to serve as the look into a future where Johnny never deserted and kept falling deeper and deeper into his own trauma #And basically having the entire mission serve (in my eyes) as an echo of both your thoughts on Johnny's past life as a soldier #Do you forgive the boy or do you kill the man #(For all my prose this choice was NOT hard for me lol I shot him right in the face without hesitation lol)#Johnny doesn't buy Rinder's pleas for remorse and I think you could read a lot into that; whether he sees a shade of himself there #I certainly do #Aldi speaks

If you reblog, put in the notes what color you would call it.

#monster high #monster high g3 #clawdeen wolf #clawdeen wolf g3 #polls #id in alt #been wondering for a while what people think #its on my mind cuz i just got her g3 doll with plans to reroot it #her hairstyle isn't great either which certainly doesn't help #i gave her a new style until i can afford to get the hair for the reroot and it made me dislike it a little less #tbh idk what color to call it #its kinda mauve...? but its also not that pink #it looks pink because of the magenta in her hair #it looks like she bleached her hair then dyed it pink and this is how it looks after the pink washed out #i would really like to know the designers thought process with her hair color because it doesn't even make sense in canon #her mom's hair was legit purple and clawdeen's looks like a washed out dye job but its somehow natural...?#i kinda don't want to include the indifferent option #but its a perfectly valid opinion to have on the matter

and shout-out to weepe's guards! competent enough to move quicker than kozma's people, strong enough to overpower them despite being outnumbered, and seemingly didn't even blink at not just killing other people but at doing it with horrific weaponized tearror-blood. weepe found these guys in the fucking TRUST?

#midst podcast #midst #midst spoilers #midst podcast spoilers #i'm of two minds about it bc on the one hand kestrel astutely pointed out that there was no mention of valor or abacuses where you'd expect #and using the fold to tear apart a bunch of guards who are trying to stop their boss getting Murdered doesn't Seem very valorous by trust s #and weepe having a bunch of guys in his pocket who WEREN'T originally trust even if they've been pulled in seems like something he'd like #but on the other hand. where would he have GOTTEN a bunch of non-trust guys????#AND they're referred to as a special king triangle 'Company guard' in 3.7 #plus i really like the idea that like...the trust really does have some VERY fucking competent soldiers #we've seen phineas do some genuinely impressive athletic stunts and we know costigan can uh. hold her own in a fight #and anyway it isn't the prime consector's unit's job to be the best it's their job to LOOK the best #of COURSE you'd want your really skilled guys protecting your upper trustees and your king triangle #hell it's just another angle of the non-trust society underestimating the trust (but that's a whole nother post)#and as far as the valor goes...well. we've certainly seen definitions shift! company guards stood outside the vault in 2.13 too!#and witnessed the devastation after!

#rayquaza #their lips certainly do not look very good from this angle. i didn't even know they had lips. i thought this was a texturing error on the #model and had to go google rayquaza's official art. but this is just actually how they look. for some reason #they look like that one image of jerma with the bunch of lipstick on. when he tried to put kiss marks on the letter for nancy drew #you know the one. and this angle certainly doesn't make it any more flattering!! to be honest!!#rayquaza is supposed to be like. cool and badass. big dragon snake that tells groudon and kyogre to simmer down when they fight? that's cool #but their lipstick‚ especially with it going over their teeth on the sides? don't like that #(and yes‚ i remembered mega rayquaza‚ thanks .)#i love how angles like this can take the coolest pokémon and make them look like this. aahhh… this is why i started this blog…

One more, im in a mood

look i need people to draw plum blossom sword saint as an old man oK?? OK??? HE IS 80 SMTH CAN HE HAVE WRINKLES PLEASE

#return of the blossoming blade #return of the mount hua sect #화산귀환 #art #fanart #alp fanart #alp art #grabbing this man and throwing him down the stairs #i understand in murim if youre skilled enough with cultivation you will look decades younger etc etc #however. my counterpoint is that (in the manhwa) there are a lot of old looking people.#why cant he be one of them #like he doesn't even need to look that old i certainly did not draw him very old at all #just give him wrinkles.... something to make him have age #i want cool grandpa ok #also it took like my third reread of the manhwa to realize that he had a white antenna #it made me laugh so much #how to show age: white hair antenna #um. im so used to drawing hanbok i realized the right one has a much higher waistband than it should be looool oops #also i think it would be really funny if another indicator of age is simply how long his antenna is #like its his fukin lifeline or someshit

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty"

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #my post #friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional'#(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...)#EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband #but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part #As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional'#A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means #of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances #to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor)#It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey #It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years #But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious)#By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family #(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons)#I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485 #which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional #date of 12 February 1487 #2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other #widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump #to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was)#I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument #Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was #They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless #I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests)#certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort #and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!'#which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure #ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.
