i looove how girly astarion and gale are… like i fully believe they have catty arguments where one of them runs out of rebuttals and says WELL YOU’RE FAT and the other man just gasps and rips one of his expensive blouses. when they arent arguing they have a big chaise lounge called the fainting chair and they have to take turns with it

I’ve started to read the part of Abe no Seimei Monogatari about Douman and it lead me to realize the English translation of Heian-kyo omitted an important name for no real reason?
It’s not just “a sage”, he specifies the sage “Houdou” (法道仙人). Which is important because in Abe no Seimei Monogatari, Douman is a descendant of Ashiya Kiyofuto, who met and studied under Houdou and wrote down his teachings in a book which Douman mastered in secret. (After which he lies and claims he’s a disciple of Houdou)
I’m reading a translation into modern Japanese which also includes a ton of annotations, this is the one about Houdou, which even mentions him being from Tianzhu (=India)’s Vulture Peak. (天竺の霊鷲山)

last customers i rang up yesterday were this extremely cool-looking lesbian couple and one of them asked me a rapid-fire series of questions about what books i like and what theyre about and how much time i spend reading and i got very flustered but the books i answered with were Annihilation and Monstrous Regiment. they seemed happy with my answers

Here’s a cute PearlShipping headcanon:
The final push Ash needed in that final Thunderbolt against Leon’s Charizard was Dawn. Sure, his other friends and his Pokémon mentally pushed Ash towards victory, but he was still inches away from it. That’s when he saw Dawn in the audience. And that was the final push to that sweet Champion Trophy.
of course she was, she helped him win his battle against Cynthia in a strategical way (first time he used counter shield IN YEARS) and then helped him win against Leon in a emotional way (being there to support him til the very end). He couldnt win without Dawn, in every sense of the word💅

I am very much enjoying the inconsistent flood of notes from someone who is clearly going through my Seven Deadly Sins tag 🥰 I think they’ve been reblogging just about everything in there the whole afternoon
