NYT-reviewed book described as “wildly inventive… humane and uplifting… for adults… infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences…” but an important part of the book is graphic and heart-wrenching descriptions of an attempted terrorist attack and shooting

soft (and some bittersweet)

homest[ar/uck] posting. this was meant to be supplementary to the gerome comic as him 'explaining the joke' but i uhhhhhh forgot.

i'm not much for crossovers in the the traditional sense, but it IS one of my favorite character exploration exercises to just go like 'if x media existed in this universe, who would and would not be a fan of it?'. and these ones are pretty notorious and always very fun to mess with for that and so here we are

Im SO slow with the update, I haven't actually poked at the secrets yet but I am LOSING MY MARBLES OVER WALLY SINGING AND SPECIFICALLY HIS SONG TOYLAND

Head in haaaaaands!!!!!

oh nothing im just thinking about how kristen moved to mordred manor with tracker and lives there but she hasnt been adopted by either sandralynn or jawbone but she does talk to jawbone and see him as some sort of… guiding figure.

kristen who once lived in a very close knit stereotypical religious family and then was some combo of cast out and walked away from it.

and yes a family can be your werewolf guidance counsellor, your friend who he adopted, his werewolf niece who is your girlfriend, and your other friend whose mom is dating your guidance counsellor. and also ragh and lydia barkrock and your friend’s ex-villain sister. but like does she lie awake at night and think about her brothers who she left money for? or her parents who she thought loved her until they suddenly didn’t?

what im trying to say is that families man. bio families and families of choice and loneliness and abandonment issues and emotional dependency (bec lets be real in the live show i was truly worried about kristen while tracker was gone on a level that is comparable to my worry over my irl friends) and filling those holes inside yourself because we are all just swiss cheese my man

ed :(

they look fucking DISGUSTING. i am in love with them

Every other aspect of Jesse’s trauma makes me go oh no poor blorbo :( but his relationship w his parents and thinking ab it in the context of the series aftermath actually makes me unwell… they never even knew him they only ever saw the worst in him and now they’ve had that validated by his own actions and they’ll never know how sorry he is and that he was a good kid at heart and they didn’t imagine it and they still love him but how can they have loved him if they never even knew him and only ever saw the worst in him *flatlines*

i don’t think i can ever genuinely express how meaningful ‘everything everywhere all at once’ sweeping the oscars meant to the asian community. but since i don’t want to be too emotional on main bc this entire day has kept me on the edge of my seat like no other, i just want to say one thing that might make the movie a little sweeter:

the english subtitles of the iconic taxes and laundry line that waymond delivers say ‘in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you’

BUT, in mandarin, what the raw line is: ‘in another life, i still would have chosen to be with you doing laundry and taxes’.

and i think that piece of dialogue truly is so special because waymond would still CHOOSE this supposed ‘miserable’ life of running a laundromat so long as he was still with evelyn and UGH I’M- IF ONLY THIS WAS TRANSLATED PROPERLY BC IT HURTS ME THIS LINE HURRRRRTS ME 😭😭

do you think barbara and ian ever got in hot water with unit for just straight up selling the story of their adventures with the doctor to hollywood or…

There haven't been any Milgram headcanon requests so far, right? How about 🧸 and 💔 for Mikoto?

Mikoto time!! Thank you for the request -- I know it's risky posting headcanons so close to Double, but I'll come back and ammend anything that might be proven wrong on Wednesday 😂

🧸 A headcanon about their childhood: Through his early schooling years, Mikoto was present for a lot of extracurricular activities. He didn't always care/give his all, he just enjoyed hanging out with others and fooling around. The reason he can be such good friends with everyone is because he's picked up on tons of little things over the years by dabbling in all those arts, fields of study, sports, etc. Once he finds out your hobby, he can immediately retrieve some bit of knowledge/memory to get a conversation going, or even join in the activity. Mahiru is pleasantly surprised by his classic literature references, gardening club gets him on Shidou's good side, Muu likes talking to him about fashion tips, he can play sports with Fuuta, he tries to bond over band memories with Amane, and so on. When he was a kid he was just trying things out for fun, but as an adult he's grateful he picked up on so much.

💔 An angsty headcanon: He's accustomed to, and expects, bad separations. So many friendships and relationships ended on a very sour note, so now he's used to pulling away first. (There was no aggression or violence, but) the appearance of different alters followed by the host's insistent denials would make others think poorly of him. The more he claims ignorance, the more it seems like he's just gaslighting/manipulating, so there have been a few explosive separations in which he had no idea what went wrong. Because of that, it's been harder to get close to anyone, and he will start pulling away the minute things show signs of trouble. It's why he left the smoking group so quickly, and doesn't hang out with the other prisoners as often in T2. Instead of waiting for an inevitable fight, he ends things immediately and peacefully.

Look, I understand why we as a collective are mad at Aziraphale right now, but I'm gonna be perfectly honest, there is absolutely nothing he could do that I wouldn't be prepared to forgive.

Ok most random topic yet, but few days ago I emulated Parappa the rapper 2, fun game, but one song was really catchy:

But what annoys me is that everone is going in the comments for the obvious lowbrow "haha what a funny euphemism xdd" angel on it - and I wont even deny that yeah, the whole game is about growing up and becoming an adult so why not add that - but I think people are missing the forrest for the threes:

Think the real joke is parodying "consious" rappers or atleast those that have this too cool for everyone attitude, as if they were above everything:

Hence the nonsense lyrics at the start adressing social issuess like "changing world with hunger" and shit about being super important - Its setting up the whole thing of "wow what a wise guru, he knows whats up!"

Only to break it all down when he ACTUALLY gets big - the fassad falls down, he actually is scared and reveals that it was all for show - as many people who claim to be "underground" but actually know that they could either not deal with the responsibility of actually having fame and influence or want it but actually wont ever reach ir, claiming they are small "by choice".

Idk, probably really obvious stuff, but still the comments focus on boner jokes so I had to set the record straight lol

if theres one thing im a huge sucker for, it's monster ecology. Monster hunter sometimes misses/goes for the rule of cool and "if the monster looks bad its probably dangerous and we should kill it NOW" and like. sometimes loses me. But sometimes they're fucking spot-on with designs and lore and ecological interactions.
