F: What’s happened to your arm?

Me: Oh, it’s about to dislocate

F: How, how do you know it’s about to dislocate???

Me: Trust me, you’d know

[rofax]

I'm so happy for you! I hope you can enjoy a plentiful life and live exactly like you want to!

Thank you so much!!!! That is my hope also! Fingers crossed the fight is over and I can focus on the things I love!

#ro talks #ro answers asks #cancer cw #i will say this whole thing has made me like #ACUTELY AWARE #of how much i do not want to work some 9-5 job #why would i spend 40 hours on something that means nothing to me at the expense of my family??? #my friends? #my hobbies???? #if my time with them is limited in any way i'll be DAMNED if i spend it in a cubicle #nothing radicalized me against the classic workweek like cancer lol

[elmville-daily]

In love with this reaction. I too would be losing my shit if my players used my homebrew spells against me in my own damn game.

there's no way the bathroom at peppino's pizza is actually that big but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . hey ummm anyway.... i care them...... anyway there's a lil ramble on my take on fake pep's like psyche or whatever in tags on the og post if ur into that kinda thing :y

hey! it's a series! fake peppino world tour: [noise] [noisette] [peppino]<- u are here [gustavo] [gerome] [noisette again]

#ramble after realtags yeag. shoutout to serrangelic btw suggesting the silhouettes thing bc i would have Died otherwise #pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #fake peppino #gustavo and brick #arting #pizzaposting #so anyway i think fake peppino has like. a general awareness that he is supposed to Be Peppino and that he was Made to do that #and likewise he does generally try to...do that. the thing he does NOT realize is hes like really goddamn bad at it #not to be mean but like...c'mon. they are pretty distinctly different kinds of guys even beyond the physiology yknow. #he's neither on-brand nor fooling anyone dsjdsjjkgfsd. BUT! #since the rest of the cast generally likes him [at least as I play it] he thinks hes doing just fine #he's like 'oh they r happy with me so i must be getting a good grade in being peppino :)' #so getting told that 'yeah you actually really suck at that but that was never the reason people liked you' #and told that by og model peppino no less--yknow THE guy he's supposed to be living up to #who's already a bit intimidating for that and who ALSO totally wrecked him TWICE in the tower #making him acutely familiar with just how formidable the guy is and how much there IS to live up to.... #it's a Moment for sure. not really a sad or hurt one though. just... contemplative. #thinking abt people liking him for being the guy he's already naturally been being even though that guy is Not Peppino #i don't think he's gonna be super broken up about realizing he has a bad grade in peppino given everything else hes got now #nor do i really think he cares enough to go like reinvent himself or whatever after the fact #he seems to b pretty clearly having fun with it already so i think he just keeps doing that #and in some cases he still has the pre-installed peppino traits/instincts like to cooka da pizza. and that's fine #is this projection. yes. but if youve been following me awhile you know most of my character writing is ghdhfdgf #gonna kinda expand on all this in the gerome one which is...one after next. itll be a bit but man. #anyway peppino will never admit to anyone and especially not himself that he's gotten a little attached to the guy. hee hoo #pep tends to be kinda surly but he certainly has his ways of showing he cares. all of which are on display here #''that thing is not my son'' says man currently watching thing's antics with the 'bemused dad' arms crossed pose. yeah ok buddy. #gus is totally onto him already but hes not gonna say anything. #if u read all this ur prize is not having to go decode fp's rot13. his lines are ''meant to be you...?'' and ''wrong question.''

The thing is that everyone everyone EVERYONE posting about Hector of Troy understands the two poles of his conflict (the household and the battlefield) but so so sooo many posts file off the nuances of where he actually falls between them.

It's not entirely inaccurate to say Hector is a family-oriented character who fights because everyone he loves and everything he knows will be destroyed if he doesn't. But it IS a simplification.

When Andromache confronts him on the way to the gates, she doesn't ask him not to go out to fight; they both acknowledge the absolute necessity of doing so. But she asks him to fight defensively, to stick close to the walls and to focus on not allowing the invading army to breach vulnerable areas therein.

And he denies her request.

He has to fight aggressively and with the intent to win glory, he tells her, because he cannot bear to show his face in Troy if he does anything else. Even knowing that at this point his death would almost certainly cost Troy the war, destroying everything he holds dear including Andromache herself, he can't bring himself to preserve his life if it means falling short of the standards of Bronze Age masculine virtue.

This would have been totally consistent with the way the internet reads him IF she had asked him to stay home and hide under the bed or something. There's a reason he's as much if not more a foil to Paris as to Achilles. But that's not what Andromache asked him to do.

Given the choice between fighting ONLY to defend Troy or fighting to achieve honour and victory in the defense of Troy, he chose the latter.

The tragedy of Hector isn't solely that he's a father and husband who is forced to be a warrior. It's that he's juuust enough of a family man to want to be one, but... not enough to risk being branded a coward for it.

At least, not until it was too late.

He wanted his wife to have a husband and his child to have a living father, he really did. He outran fleet-footed Achilles three times around the walls of Troy in what I can only imagine must have been as much a feat of desperation as of athleticism. To keep ahead of someone on foot, over that distance, wearing armor, sounds frankly painful- I say this as someone who used to love running.

If the gods hadn't decieved him into thinking he had help against Achilles, would he have run until he collapsed? Until some archer on the walls managed to either take down Achilles or at least force enough distance between them that Hector could escape? Would anyone have shamed him for it? Having faced the shame of cowardice and survived, would he have fought differently in the next battle, more defensively?

He died before we could find out.

kuboyasu aren is definitely the type of guy to write a love letter confession, but instead of giving it to the person to read later, he gives it to them and wants to watch them open and read it because he thinks thats the appropriate way to confess. bro couldnt just say it out loud ??

#dumb #half the people he gets shipped with would be so embarrassed btw #like ok exception being yumehara i think. yume would think this is so cute and would read the whole thing with a giddy smile #and then jump up and hug him when shes done #anyone else? saiki? kaido? saiko? RED IN THE FACE TREMBLING SWEATING POUTING #EMBARRASSED TO THE MAX #fidgeting and trying hard not to react obviously to what theyre reading #so so acutely aware of kuboyasus eyes on them #literally on the verge of passing out #the love letter is so insanely cheesy and cliche and hopelessly romantic UGHHH #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #kuboyasu aren #yumeyasu #kubosai #kubokai #kubometo #meows post

People rebutting the "Childe is 34" theory, have you considered this.

No way he would have survived that long with his lifestyle.

#it's all the proof I need #honestly #have you seen him #boys like this don't survive past 30 #I get acute mono-no aware poisoning every time I look at him #childe #tartaglia #genshin impact #I still hc he's 19 at the time of liyue arc #he behaves like he's 19 #(my oddly specific headcanons) #and character stories put him somewhere in the 18-22 range #why are we even arguing #and we don't even need time fuckery for him to be declared guilty tbh #the whale 'left traces on him' as skirk says #and that could be enough for the oratrice to mistake him for the whale/willing accomplice #also #I don't know about you #but I prefer to see him as someone brilliant but very young #and not someone 34yo and incredibly stupid #(because if a person still behaves like that at 34 they are not smart)

Hello again mr. strider, or as you seem to be known as colloquially, "bro". I am writing to inform you that i will be going on a trip for six to twelve business days, and will be unable to ensure the total skaianet upkeep of your site during that time. My subscription however, will be paid on time as usual. Maybe the missus or the sitter will get a kick out of it ho ho! Anywho, i hope to see you, and your puppets, again soon. Tally ho!

ok but im rly into the idea of till having a new era that brings the light back to his eyes and drives him forward if he gets to escape the arena. idk where he'd go from there but i want to see ivans sacrifice both haunt him and drive him to actually live his damn life after being the captured bird refusing freedom cause of mizi. once he knows she's alive with the resistance he might be able to actually experience other things and widen his world and if that happens and he puts his personal sense of rebellion towards the human cause OR settles into finding some other way to feel fulfilment that isn't a single person that could be deeply fascinating to me i think

#alien stage #ramble #idk #till alien stage #as an xxxholic fan i want to see caged birds fly and all the fear and loss and grit and progress that comes with it #till era would be so fucking fun #especially when characters r built arnd one person or one goal or something you want to see them find new things to suffer or thrive abt (?) #random inconsequential thought imagine till hooking up with hyunas besties and they become a resistance throuple #idk i just want till to experience the wider world as the one that was the most restrained by his heart AND literally #cause even compared to the other anakt kids he suffered so much in those damn buildings and labs #i wanna see him freed and what that means for ivans legacy as the person who was unseen but someone who both contributed to and desperately #tried to stop his pain and confinement no matter what #honestly the thing i wanna see most rn off the top of my head is #till coming to terms with what he knows and sees about ivan now #no matter how he feels about it i think ivan wont be forgotten that easily #i want to know whats going thru tills head rn immediately in this moment #cause this snapped him in some way and he is acutely aware of things he didnt even notice before #while handling the mizi desth thing #that he assumed was happening #if he is assumedly saved i want to see the explosion that is knowung mizi is alive #knowing ivan is dead and how ivan felt #and knowing he has a way out of the cage #because its a triple whammy #i want to see his brain exploding in real time thinking abt all these things #and what sort of person the revelations will make him become #also i want to see mizi and till have like an actual conversation cause itd be a wildcard especially right now

hey guys why does Clara look like this at the end of P2

what’s the lore reason behind her looking absolutely batshit insane in the two endings

#that bottom image was made by my friend nox #i stg she does NOT look like this throughout the game 😭 #she looks like she is acutely aware of what’s going on around her to an uncanny degree #she’s got that thousand yard stare #did she look like for anyone else or is my clara just broken? 😭 #pathologic #pathologic 2 #clara saburova #clara the changeling #clara pathologic

maybe i should just lean into the shinigami thing wholesale for reborn au

orochimaru @ smol tori: if you keep playing with the marked kunai, one day the yellow flash will come investigate. and he's a killer who would not make an exception even for little oto girls : )

tori: he'd kill me.....?

tori: i mean. he can try :)

#conversations that become hilarious in hindsight #oh btw i decided in plasticity/reborn au #that orochimaru is obsessed with cheating death because he saw the shinigami #he summoned him for something and upon seeing it knew #with absolute certainty #that one day he would die and ultimately become a meaningless memory #and becoming so acutely aware of his own mortality freaked him tf out #reborn au

Every time I think of Dimitri teaching Dedue the Fodlan language and Dedue teaching Dimitri the Duscur language I feel like sliding dramatically down a closed door

#they're so fucking good to each other #can you imagine the care and patience they had for each other? #im also imagining dedue being acutely aware of how much criticism dimitri got for it and dimitri just? would not care #you just know dimitri knows his dad would approve of dedue #and especially given the hints of how it sounds like dimitri was practically under constant supervision they were probably each other's onl #real company #ugh #imagine if they didn't want anyone to know what they were discussing so they just start whispering to each other in duscurian #my poor heart #fe3h #three houses #fire emblem three houses #fire emblem #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #dedue molinaro #dimitri #dedue #dimidue
