i am thinking of Price in the stardew au/fic/hc when you come dragging yourself back to the farm at 12:30 AM beat up from the mines and having encountered a few too many monsters

oh my god i didn't even THINK OF THAT, he'd be so protective and almost overbearing about it for sure lol.

He absolutely stays up to wait for you. And any time he sees you gearing up for the mines, he starts fussing.

"You've got your sword? You remember the technique I showed you to block better? Got food? Where are your good boots, I don't want you twisting an ankle and being stuck down there. I don't care that you have a totem to get back, go put your good boots on."

He fusses over you like a mother hen, partially because he hasn't seen you in action, and partially because he just cares that much about your safety and well-being, especially since he doesn't want to have to follow you down into the mines. So of course he stays up on those nights when you're mining, worrying more and more as the clock ticks closer to 2am.

This night is no different than usual, except that you've been going to this place you call the Skull Caverns recently, and you've been coming home with less leftover food and more bruises and cuts than you ever did in the Pelican Town mines. He goes from reading on the couch to pacing when 1:00 hits, then to getting dressed and finding his sword, hidden away in a dusty box but still sharp enough to be of use by 1:30. By the time you drag yourself into the house, John had already made up his mind to finish suiting up and go looking for you, and you can see the desert totem in his hand as proof. Not that you had time to notice much else before you pass out in the doorway.

The next morning you wake up late, around 8am, covered in bandages and neosporin and with John banging around in the kitchen. The smell of eggs and bacon rouses you, but as you walk into the kitchen, he tuts and tells you to get your butt back in that bed or so help him he will tie you down.

"I love you to death, darling, but you aren't getting up until I say so after what happened last night. And no more trips to that cavern until you get better gear because I do not want to be paying a visit to Harvey's office, worried out of my mind, just because you don't know when to quit. And I already checked all the crops and animals, so you have no excuse to be getting up."

And really, what more of a reason could you need just to stay in bed all day being pampered by your husband?

Discotek Media announced today that their blu-ray release of Kodocha series two is now available to pre-order from RightStuf ahead of its May 30th 2023 release date.

If you're into Kodocha you'll probably know that only the first part of the anime series has previously received a US release. For countless English-speaking Kodocha fans the only access they've had to the rest of the anime adaptation has been through raws or extremely messy bootleg subs. Discotek Media will change that with their release of the remaining TV anime episodes on SD blu-ray this year!

There's been a lot of anticipation for this Discotek release as it has been quite some time coming subsequent to their licensing announcement, but anyone familiar with the source material will appreciate the absolutely MAMMOTH job that translating & subbing these episodes would have required on Discotek's part. I know I'm just happy they were able to complete it and put together this release at all.

Unlike the first series, which received an English dub, the second Kodocha anime series blu-ray will only feature English subtitles -- but don't let the absence of a dub put you off too much, the original cast are incredible and if you want to see the characters a little older and in even more challenging situations, you'll definitely get your money's worth out of this release.

As usual, I think an Amazon pre-order link will come in time but Right Stuf offers a solid discount on their pre-orders so if you want to get your hands on this BD set at a decent price then they're probably your best bet.

Edit: For those interested, the first Kodocha blu-ray set from Discotek is still available via Right Stuf and Amazon.

#kodocha #kodomo no omocha #child's toy #merch #merchandise #anime news #shoujo anime #anime releases #i'll definitely get this at some point #just a shame i can't combine it in the same order as saint tail #because shipping from the us to here is exxy af #but yeah i felt i should post about this #the second part of the anime in the US has been a very long time coming for fans #and while the video looks fairly average #the price for 51 episodes is excellent #and how often do we get older ribon anime adaptations in the english-speaking market? #if you like this content and can afford it then definitely support it #(also these eps feature my favourite theme from the anime 'ultra relax' which is t i m e l e s s)

hi guys i still remember the swap au exists. heroes comic isn’t going anywhere but take a look at amy. also an idea for iblis the light, and also, a bit of sonic.

#my art #amy rose #sonic the hedgehog #iblis the light #swap au #sonamy #every time i redo amy's design she gets a little more naked #i think i'm finally satisfied with this one tho #also sonic 06 is a Whole mess which i don't really want to fully untangle for this au #but i really like the ideas i have around amy in silver's role #she's like some sort of an oracle in the future. which is clouded over with eternal darkness bc mephiles #she's got clairvoyance/mild foresight which helps her survive. even when it's too dark to see she can still 'see' #maybe she's some kind of beacon of hope for other survivors or maybe she's a loner. haven't decided #either way she's just about the only one keeping mephiles slightly in check #and it Sure Is Stressful #then this glowy fuck Iblis shows up and tells her she can fix all of this for the low low price of killing this one dude #turns out foresight is an excellent counter to shadow's teleportation bc she can just attack where he's Going to be #also some real confusing emotions when she develops a crush on the guy whose face iblis stole

RTD is so in love with David Tennant that it makes him look stupid, huh.

#listen friends i dont know what to feel #i love everyone involved #I'm so happy that Donna has her memories back and will spend the rest of her life with her best friend by her side #but that ending felt like it was straight out of a christmas Hallmark movie; my teeth ache from all that saccharine sweetness #I'll be able to justify it if RTD is setting the stage for bringing Tennant and Tate into his UNIT spin-off which seems to be in the works #if that's not the reason it's hard for me to swallow this plot twist with the biregeneration #firstly: RTD did something similar at the end of the fourth season—splitting the Doctor to “give” one version to Rose #it's a bit annoying to see him essentially do the same now by letting another version of the Doctor to stay with Donna #secondly: I missed the emotion in this #I spent a week bracing myself for heartbreak but we went a bit too far in the other direction #we got a cutesy ending where everything resolves through a deus ex machina #yet it’s those bitter and grief-soaked moments are what RTD has always excelled at #when it comes to the Doctor's regeneration and farewells to companions #it's hard to feel much about this plot development #some things should remain final and some goodbyes and endings are unavoidable #the conclusion of Rose’s arc (both from s2 and s4) or Donna's ending in s4 #were among the most emotionally intense moments in the history of television #I missed a bit of that here #perhaps if there were more bitterness in the 14th Doctor's ending if he had to pay some PRICE for this biregeneration #(like not getting his TARDIS #being told that the Fifteenth takes over the regeneration ability #and the Tennant Doctor will die of old age) #emotionally it would have provided viewers with a cool punch #without that it seems like RTD wanted to have his cake and eat it too #have a new Doctor and give his old characters a last-minute happy ending that doesn't make much logical sense #I was hoping to feel more considering how much I love these characters #but my main reaction is an eyeroll #on the positive side I really hope to see Neil Patrick Harris in the show again he was a great villain #and Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor is already so freaking great!!! <3 #doctor who

/Hides their face inside their elbow and violently coughs/

Guess who's back? Back again. Tamo's back. Tell a friend.

Anyway, I'm back with Nikolai thingy..? Yea.

I believe he learnt a language at school. Of course english, every school teaches english, and maybe it started with french. Honestly? The hardest language I'm learning rn but he was so good at it, the best ill correct myself, and got invested in it. Who needs sports if there are so many languages out there. Then he found a german, georgian, polish, spanish, ukrainian (his favourite in sounding, truly beautiful language, i can recommend some songs if you want). He can't speak all of 'em but knows enough to understand.

AND PRICE IS A WHORE FOR THAT. ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT TONGUE'S MAKE SMT INSIDE CPT GO WILD

Your lungs okay..?

(I’m learning French too but it’s not that much of a pain in the ass for me. But then again I don’t usually struggle with languages—)

But Nik? Nik, who knew early on in his life that he was different and could feel the way it was altering the path of his life. Nik, who could see, hear, and feel the disappointment his parents had in him when they figured out he was gay. Nik, who took to hiding in literature and languages to escape and dream of somewhere else. Nik, who had a real talent for languages and the time and care to learn them. Nik, who isn’t as good at speaking them as he is at reading and understanding them, because he learned most of them on his own. Nik, who was able to list them all as skills when he went to join the military. Nik, who joined the 141 as an asset because of the long list of things that other people saw as skills: the languages, the piloting, the craftiness. Nik, who spent so much time alone and hiding that he figured out ways to care for himself, figured out how to learn things on his own, how to get ahold of the things he needed.

Then there’s Price. Price, who was always shit at languages, which royally sucked because of his profession and the vast variety of people he worked with. Price, who meets Nik and is immediately enamored by him and his language talents, even if Nik’s German is stunted it’s still passable, even if his Spanish doesn’t flow right. Price, who’s interest and fascination was completely innocent at first, but then Nik starting flirting with him in Russian, in French, and he was a goner.

#let us remember that price is but a weak englishman #and he has no defenses against strong russian men #who can say the most unhinged flirty things in public in confidence that he can’t be understood #nik excels at languages agenda #captain john price #john price #cod nikolai #prikolai #prikolai headcanons #prikolai agenda #price x nikolai #call of duty #modern warfare #cod mwii #hashtag not projecting #it’s the crisis talking #askbox

Fanny at Portsmouth

One of the biggest complaints that people have about Fanny is that she is judgey. And to be fair, she is, but she has become that way because she’s an abused child who is terrified to break a rule and be banished from the house/education/company that she has been told is the greatest single blessing that poor, unworthy her will ever receive. And also to be fair to her, everyone around her is a selfish jerk, at the very least. Elinor Dashwood is similarly judgey to Fanny but I think the people she is judgemental towards are more obviously flawed, maybe? It is also a bit later in the book. Both of them also tend to be internally judgemental, they rarely tell people what they think.

The culmination of Fanny’s judgey-ness, to those who dislike her for it, is displayed on her visit home. However, I don’t think the impression we are supposed to have is that Fanny is sitting there thinking her family is awful. It’s more like Fanny very excitedly went home and hoped to love her family and be loved back, and she was utterly disappointed:

Fanny could not conceal it from herself, in almost every respect the very reverse of what she could have wished. It was the abode of noise, disorder, and impropriety. Nobody was in their right place, nothing was done as it ought to be. She could not respect her parents as she had hoped.

Much of all this Fanny could not but be sensible of. She might scruple to make use of the words, but she must and did feel that her mother was a partial, ill-judging parent, a dawdle, a slattern, who neither taught nor restrained her children, whose house was the scene of mismanagement and discomfort from beginning to end, and who had no talent, no conversation, no affection towards herself; no curiosity to know her better, no desire of her friendship, and no inclination for her company that could lessen her sense of such feelings.

Fanny was very anxious to be useful, and not to appear above her home

The narrator emphasises that Fanny does not want to feel this way. She wants to respect her parents, she wants to be loved by her siblings, she wants to feel at home (I would go so far as to say she almost needs it), but she cannot conceal the truth even from herself. The truth is that her mother and father hardly care if she is alive or dead. Her siblings, except Susan, don’t care about her at all and will not let her win their affections. There is nothing Fanny can do. And this is despite Fanny trying her very best to be helpful to them.

I always feel somewhat ambivalent about Fanny taking Susan to Mansfield with her, in full understanding that Mrs. Norris is still there, because 1. why is Mansfield so great and 2. it almost feels like brain drain. Susan is the only person at home judging rightly and trying to oppose her mother’s spoiling of Betsey. However as Fanny observes, Susan is almost completely ineffective (she’s been trying to get the silver knife for two years) and she is also unloved by her mother. To Fanny, Mansfield is better than Portsmouth, and I think she’s probably objectively correct, so I guess I’m okay with it.

Last point, is it fair to blame Mrs. Price for her neglect of Fanny and the state of her house when she has so many children and lives in relative poverty? I think it is fair to judge her for not even loving her daughters. As the narrator notes: “The instinct of nature was soon satisfied, and Mrs. Price’s attachment had no other source. Her heart and her time were already quite full; she had neither leisure nor affection to bestow on Fanny. Her daughters never had been much to her.” We never hear that Mrs. Price even writes to her eldest daughter, who has been gone for 8 years. She has been unfairly withholding a knife which Mary bequeathed to Susan for two years because Betsey wants it. It doesn’t have anything to do with poverty, Mrs. Price plays favourites and pointedly does not love her elder daughters any more than the bare minimum required of her by nature. 

As for some of the other faults, I doubt Mrs. Price could hire a servant as good as the Mansfield ones because there is more prestige in working there than for a poor sailor in Portsmouth, so that may be hard to fix for anyone. I get the feeling that even after around twenty years of this life, Mrs. Price has no idea what she is doing or how to do it better. But she also did marry to disoblige her family and has to deal with the consequences. I think this sentence really sums up the problem and also contains my favourite Austen phrase “slow bustle”

Her days were spent in a kind of slow bustle; all was busy without getting on, always behindhand and lamenting it, without altering her ways; wishing to be an economist, without contrivance or regularity; dissatisfied with her servants, without skill to make them better, and whether helping, or reprimanding, or indulging them, without any power of engaging their respect.

So to sum up, Fanny can be internally judgemental, but narrator makes it pretty clear that her opinion of her family in Portsmouth is what anyone would be forced to think. And without any love from her parents, Fanny cannot help but clearly see their faults.
