Nora: I bet Jaune Could take Ironwood in a fight.

Jaune: Nora no!

Winter: You must have a great deal of confidence in Mr. Arc. Why is it you believe that?

Jaune: We really don't need to do this!

Nora: Well, Fearless leader has a Shield, which means bullet will do pretty much nothing, He's spry enough to avoid most gunfire, and the General could easily run out of bullets before Jaune manages to close the distance entirely.

Winter: But as Jaune could be knocked back by the Gravity dust infused ones.

Nora: He Held a Charging Nuckelavee back! Gravity dust is nothing!

Jaune: Nora Stop!

Nora: And as for the Cannon, well, Jaune tanked a hit from Cordovin's Mech while amping my own aura so we could survive and still had some to spare, plus that thing takes a while to charge a single shot, giving Jaune ample time to get close and/or recover aura!

Winter: Hmm. Fair Points. What had you so hung up on this conversation, Mister Arc?

Jaune: ... Well ... Given my luck I'd figure that the general would've-

Ironwood: Huntsman Jaune Arc, report to the training field immediately. And Good Luck.

Jaune: ... Overheard.

Jaune: Nora?

Nora: *Smug* Yes?

Jaune: No Pancakes for a week.

Nora: NOOOOOO!

#For who will kick someone out for weak semblances #Ironwood is hella lucky He didn't devote himself to something that killed him before volume eight. #Mettle is useful; but like. It's only as strong as the body that carries it. Most people would've died doing what ironwood did to his body. #Where was I going with this? #rwby #jaune arc #rwby shitpost #nora valkyrie #winter schnee #james ironwood #general Ironwood

I need more of Eddie’s reaction to Steve kissing Tommy once

Eddie following Steve around the house with his phone, asking questions: Did Tommy kiss you first? Was there tongue? Is he a good kisser? Was it only once or like, a lot? Did-

Steve: It wasn’t - like, it wasn’t in a gay way.

Eddie, looking like that was the best possible answer he could have got: Please explain to me how you made out with your violently homophobic best friend in a straight way.

Steve: I don’t know, we - there was nothing to do. We were bored.

Eddie: Oh my god

Steve: Kissing is just kissing! People kiss all the time and it means nothing.

Eddie: To you, maybe. Not to the guy that’s harboring a massive hard on for you

Steve: Not this again. Not everybody had a crush on me, Eddie. Tommy didn’t!

Eddie: No, he just suggested that you guys should make out for fun, huh? Because he suggested it, didn’t he? He did. I can tell from the look on your face. That guy was in love with you, babe. It was super obvious. The only person with a bigger hard on for you was Billy Hargrove

Steve: Not this again.

Eddie: Steve. Stevie, baby. Sweetheart, you’re so naive. It’s adorable. A guy coming up to you in the school showers and saying he wants to fuck you is pretty gay. And your best friend that aggressively hates all of your girlfriends for no reason and suggests you should make out when you’re alone is also pretty fucking gay.

Steve, changing the subject: I’m hungry. Go get us lunch

Eddie: how long were we screwing around before you realized we weren’t just ‘bros being bros?’

Steve: Im going to order pizza

Eddie, calling after Steve: Hey, isn’t Tommy fucking some twenty-some year old twink that looks exactly like you?

Steve, from a different room: Him and Carol got back together!

#Steve: Tommy’s not even gay #Eddie: Neither are you and you’re still fucking a guy eight days a week….twice a week if I’m lucky #everybody that liked guys in Hawkins had a crush on Steve #steve harrington #eddie munson #eddie munson tiktok saga #Tommy Hagan

i can't believe i'm abt to get my period even tho i did this last month

#and ppl are like oh ur so lucky u don't get cramop #i had a migraine for EIGHT DAYS last month #and pmdd makes me hate myself and everything i do 😐 #personal #menstruation

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I fucking love writing Dual POV because you get to write one section where the character laments deeply that he has fallen for such a suave cool effortlessly sexy guy who just kissed him senseless (for the undercover job, of course)...

And then you get to swap immediately to the other POV where the "suave" "cool" "effortlessly sexy" guy in question is panic-texting his ex-boss's wife begging her to tell him what to do because I fucked up Sarah I really like him Sarah I'm sorry I know it's 11pm Sarah I'm going to fling myself off the roof Sarah!!!!!

Anyway. None of you know what or who I'm talking about but that's okay, I'M having fun. And you all will too when I get you to read this fic and join me in rarepair hell.

#mads writes stuff #random #pretty sure I just gave the game up for what this ship is #to the three people and a cat who figured out the show #like I'm sorry TV show you TRIED to convince me that this man is cool now #when I just spent eight seasons watching him make jokes at crime scenes #run into doors and fall into ponds #and react to any woman flirting with him by having a panic attack #you can't fool me #I know what he is #and he's just lucky that the other person is too busy having a meltdown over his crush to realize just how uncool his crush actually is

#tagged by #piratefalls #I was having a really hard time figuring how to narrow this list down because there's quite a few more I watch #eventually I decided to only include the ones where I don't 'skip to the good bits' #(Fast Five and Mr & Mrs Smith and The Italian Job and Avengers 2012 I do all watch incredibly often but mostly only the back halves #and my animated movies and musicals I mostly watch the songs and the ends. not the Blues Brothers though) #and then the rest of these I put in order by when I got them because that's probably the best indicator of how often I've seen them #also worth noting that The Martian could easily be swapped for Star Trek (2009) or Charlie's Angels for Ocean's Eight #I tend to watch them back-to-back because they fill similar niches in my brain #Logan Lucky has recently beat out a lot of the other heist movies I rewatch because the characters and accents make me happy #(if anybody has heist movie recommendations though please please share I always want more)

Hachi was named for the time of her birth- born precisely at 8:00 am according to the medical staff (as "hachi" is also the pronunciation for the number 8 in Japanese). Hachi's name is written with the katakana ハチ. It is worth noting that names written in hiragana or katakana do not hold specific meanings as names written in kanji do; they are purely phonetic.

While it's not uncommon for given names to be written in the phonetic-based katakana or hiragana rather than kanji, and while Hachi has no issue with the name or the set of characters selected on its own, it occasionally becomes a point of insecurity for her when contrasted to her sister Emi's name, which is written in kanji--specifically, the kanji 恵美 (恵 meaning "blessing, favour, benefit" and 美 meaning "beautiful, pretty").

For Emi's name to so deliberately note her as beautiful blessing while Hachi's name is much more simply based off of the time of her birth, well, it's prime fodder for (over?)thinking when Hachi gets caught up in trying to analyze it.

#my brain has not cooperated for ic replies this weekend (sorry to those waiting;;) but i at least finally got around to writing this out #headcanons. #i saw the name hachi spelled with the '八' (8) kanji. but it looks like this one is used for boys? #or at least it seems like it would be unorthodox to name a girl hachi using that standalone kanji...? i am not an expert though #ive seen the fem. name hachISE use the '八' kanji in it (八星) #but idk if this kanji would only rlly be used as part of a fem. ver of hachi where there was smth added at the end like w/ hachise #anyways. i've read that 8 is seen as lucky in japan because the kanji 八 widens/flares out at the bottom #which evokes the idea of growth/prosperity/good fortune...? #so those times i reference old classmates jokingly thinking hachi is lucky bc of her name it's coming from that lol #and in the end i opted for the phonetic katakana option ハチ rather than using any of the fem. kanji options i saw for the name hachi #bc i really did want 8 to be the primary 'source' of the naming decision. #GOD i am hoping this all tracks. i tried to cross-reference and check this against multiple sites/sources where i could. #but this is not a language that i write/speak so at the end of the day i'm no expert. #TRAGICALLY funny that hachi's mom was like 'the one who looks like me? a beautiful gift. :) the one who doesn't? ummmm eight.'

my parents take medications ensuring their organs function correctly and that they continue living

i take medications because being alive is too scwary and it makes me sad

#we are not the same #lucky speaks #how’s that new med going lucky? #thanks for asking! I woke up woozy went to my shelter job and promptly let two dogs escape and walked into a door and a tap #then nearly passed out from heat exhaustion and was sent home #after which I slept for an extra three hours on top of the eight I already have #but otherwise okay!

One thing I do look forward to about in-person work for the first time in four and a half years, even if it's 28 miles of travel both ways right during the worst winter months, is I can't be my father's free Chore Servant when he's too busy (read: disorganized and lazy) to sort things before he leaves for the day

#just this morning the guy calls me eight minutes before my shift starts when I'm still in bed trying to wake up and goes #'oh by the way I didn't take the dogs outside can you handle that' #this is a process that takes five minutes normally #on top of the three to five i need to get dressed use the bathroom etc #AND one of the dogs is on medication right now #add another two #also this man was standing around in his kitchen this morning at seven chatting with his employee and his gf #he ABSOLUTELY could have taken them out #fucking prick #lucky i can clock in from my phone and my current employer is none the wiser #if he tries that shit with my new job in two weeks i will literally not be home by the time he calls #in fact i'm just gonna silence my phone. I will be thrilled to not have to think about him all day #will never forget the one time he was in the fucking mediteranian and had me put together the checks for his employees #'oh it'll take you like five minutes' #yeah that was my entire lunch break asshole. thanks. #the more i think about it the more pissed I am I'm still stuck in this fucking house #I need to secure that car before I fucking snap #dylawa rants #dylawa rambles

Eight's wolf-parent was affectionately dubbed Toasettee, her nickname "Toast" for her lightly browned fur color. She was a large female echa'olm of unknown breeding who raised him alongside her own family and looked after him as one of her own, if not her favorite amongst the litter, always a bit overbearing in her care and maintaining her little runt. It was always Eight's fear that the tasuba plague had claimed her and her family as its victims, so he never searched for Toast after joining the Empire; but out of a keen sense of loneliness and loss after Intelligence's fall, he ventured back to Eshan to know the truth of what befell her. Losing his family and friends on all sides to galactic schisms was heartbreaking-- he didn't need to lose more.

Amazingly enough, wandering into Toast's former territory, he was greeted by a dozen toast-colored pups-- and an aging Toasettee herself, who hadn't changed her winning smile since the decades he'd seen her. Toast had survived and flourished long after his own family had left the region, and she was just as happy to receive her former runt as she was many, many years ago. In her mind, Eight was still the tiny Echani who buried himself in her fur many winters ago, and the fact that he'd returned so much larger was simply irrelevant in the face of her finally returned affection. To her, he was neither an agent nor a soldier. Not even a sword. Just a lost pup, starving, cold, and alone. That would not change. To say Eight's tears flowed freely would be an understatement; to say he was home would be more accurate.

Every winter thereafter, he returned to Eshan to help raise Toast's young, as she did once for his mother and father. In some form, this is his Life Day; whereas his life has been nothing but a deluge of death, this corner of the wild, far and away from the suffering of man and its consequences, is his haven.

#swtor #ooc #echani #thinking about eight and holidays again. #i imagine echa'olm as alien wolves having multiple legs and sharp foreleg protrusions a bit like bone blades #but they're otherwise functionally similar despite having above average intelligence #they're not actually related to loth wolves whatsoever despite similar appearances #and i hc loth wolves are more closely related to tookas. #a place where he's not a cipher. where someone looks at him with love and joy and not fear and sorrow #it's also just sad that he couldn't find it in the world of man #this makes probably little sense out of context but. the loss of their own families and culture for agents is pervasive #and i think few get to return home #nor experience it again as they did when they were young #if you can. you are a very lucky agent indeed #eight is very much a echa'olm who pretended to be a man for a very very long time
