having sensory problems is tough because how to i tell my stepdad that i want to throw a brick at him for having a snack in the same room as me-

#i had to go to my room i swear to god #the scrape of the fork the fucking mouth sounds IM A BITCH NOW SORRY #one wrong noise and i become an Asshole #internally. i will not outwardly express any of this #he's such a good person! he does not deserve the ire i feel when he makes The Wrong Noises which happens Quite Frequently! #now he's playing with the dog and i wanna throw TWO bricks at him #shutupshutupshutup theres too many noises at once im going to MAIM something #the tv the microwave the dog the fire the the the #punching something in my head... #absolutely unprompted #Man Don't You Have A Job To Go To Or Something. At *checks cat* Nine At Night #i might just. walk out into the dark woods for a bit. let the nonexistent wolves have me #maybe mothman will be there.... #IF HE BOOPS THE DOG ONE MORE TIME- #im evil now. im in my evil arc. im a hater. my heart burns with rage

i need a fic of soap bringing ghost home to his family for the holidays. his family’s always disapproved of everything; being queer, being in the military, being with ghost and it’s all over not a great time but they’re trying to pretend for the sake of the holiday. they get into it after dinner one night though and for once soap isn’t backing down, not when it’s ghost they’re attacking, when the power suddenly goes out. soap moves just in time for a shot to come through the window and he orders his family to get down

graves and what’s left of shadow company followed them to glasgow; it’s the first time they’ve been away from the 141 and they think it’ll be their best chance to take them out. johnny and simon are left behind as they become soap and ghost and soap’s childhood home becomes a battleground, his hysterical family who still think he can’t be that good of a soldier now civilians that he has to protect and get out in one piece

#its the full gambit of sisters with their partners and kids #all with respectable normal jobs and lives #then theres john still running around playing soldier and now shacking up with his commanding officer #soaps been quiet the entire time just gritting his teeth and letting them have go after go in the name of peace #ghosts been fuming the entire time but his own family trauma and not wanting to go against johnnys wishes keeps his mouth shut #and then that instant switch the second the bullet comes through the window #theyre sergeant mactavish and lieutenant ghost now and they dont give a single shit about anything butgetting out alive #‘we need to call the police!’ #‘call local pd who’re drunk off their arses and never fired their guns in their fucking lives yeah right’ #‘this isnt the time for you to play soldier’ #‘youre right. this isnt a game. its war and youre gonna shut the fuck up and let me get you outta this alive’ #ghost sneaks upstairs to get the hidden guns he brought and to get one of the kids whod been napping #soap stays to get everyone out of the way and watch out for hostiles #ghost slides him a sniper rifle and he takes out the sniper on the opposite roof and when he looks back at his family theyre #looking at him like theyve never seen him before #i just need soap whos been underestimated his entire life showing just how competent he really is #soapghost #ghostsoap #soap mactavish #soap cod #ghost cod #simon ghost riley #we’re a team. ghost team

Can I just talk about how much I love the wordplay of “Suburban Legends”???

The way that an urban legend is a story that’s been passed around so far and wide and often that it’s accepted as true (folklore, if you will) or at least believable or exciting enough to keep passing on from campfire to campfire.

And then in this song it’s suburban legends because the story’s been papered over, it’s become a cliche, a poor replica of the real thing. The (cool) urban legend of this hot, epic romance for the ages everyone would talk about forever has been replaced by the (all too familiar, devoid of authenticity) suburban legend of being toyed with and losing herself in a relationship that once again leads to heartache because they can’t be genuine with each other about what they actually want. It’s not a cool story; it’s pedestrian, it’s another blip in the radar of their young lives (just like the suburbs are the epitome of boring in pop culture, cookie-cutter and bland and forgettable and soulless, compared to the magic of the city where anything could happen and everyone wants to be in). It’s not an epic love story for the ages, they won’t be spoken of far and wide, they’re on the periphery of the real thing but never quite making it.

Her mind 🤌

I'm SO obsessed with them.

After this I believe they are both equally as unhinged as the other, just opposite ends of a spectrum about it HAHAHAHAHA

Also...

More micro organisms.............. (FAVE PANEL TBH LOOK AT THEM)

#fire emblem #feh #I LOVE THEM BOTH. SO MUCH. SO DEARLY #i'm SO obsessed w how alfonse just. really did go 'i'm not doing that.' and made sharena deal w it HAHAHAHA #little exchanges like these really makes them shine as siblings i think! they're both so funny LMFAO 🥺 #AND SHARENA. HER UNMATCHED WLW SWAG. SHE'S TOO POWERFUL #also if you haven't played the recent chapter don't let my comic deceive you. #it does sort of look like al is telling sharena what to do in that panel where they're whispering to each other #but no. al was just reminding her of some advice. essentially a riddle. sharena did that all on her own. #THE POTENTIAL THOUGH.... of goofy sibling antics..... deploy the more outgoing and conventionally cutesy one to achieve A Goal #i really do love how it feels like sharena has been playing bigger roles/has more agency lately 🥺🥺 #it absolutely feels more like she and alfonse are a team now. instead of just tagging along. #not to mention it feels shari really has been growing into her own! #carefully considering her position and what she wants for herself... seeming more focused and resolved.... #ough. finally. intsys is being nice to her 🫡🥲 #sharena #fe alfonse #fe nerthuz #my art

Natsume: You didn't sleep a wink last night. Why not go and grab a few now? Natori [sparkling]: I'm just fine. It takes more than sleep deprivation to dull my dazzling self, so don't you worry your fussy little head. Natsume [concerned]: Nonsense like that is exactly what someone suffering from sleep deprivation would say! Sensei: Oh really? Has he been sleep-deprived every day of his life?

so i've been watching the natsume dub -

#sensei referring to matoba as the 'pirate-princess-tightrope-walker'????? PLSSSS #sensei to natsume about matoba: your wussy little punches won't do jack #also yes sensei he probably has been sleep-deprived every day of his life. this man is a dumpster fire #thanks to qserasera (thank you qserasera!!!) i've been revisiting the natori and matoba episodes #i had started a rewatch earlier this year but got sidetracked early in season 2 so i'm picking up from there #so to refresh my memory i read through the episode summaries i had written for season 1/early season 2 #and got SO EMOTIONAL??? just from reading the summaries? what the fuck??? #me earlier today: i can't reread le petit prince right now because my heart can't take it #also me: tra la la let's see what natsume is going to do to pulverize my soul into powder today #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi #my posts #anyway i probably would never have tried the dub except that someone put some clips of english dub matoba on here #and i was OBSESSED with the voice acting??? #i'm so glad i decided to try it because so many of the line readings are just delightful #natsume and sensei's bickering especially #i don't love madara's youkai voice. and i like the japanese voice playing touko a lot better than the english voice #but it's nice to be able to listen and like do the dishes at the same time! i love subs but you can't really multitask #i guess since this is the dub i should be calling him master not sensei but i'm too used to sensei #i must say though that i'm really enjoying natsume calling him 'master kitty cat' in full earnestness #i don't speak japanese so i wasn't getting the full effect from 'nyanko-sensei' #i get now why tanuma was so embarrassed

[jojotichakorn]

there is something so special to me about slowly settling into liking a thing without truly realising it. not being instantly possessed by it, but almost allowing it to possess you already after realising how much you've grown to love it. genuinely wanting it to be a part of your life.

#like scrolling back many months before you will see me enjoying various characters win plays and his performance #without putting any weight to it or thinking if it means something #and if you scroll back (and dont actually do this btw its a terrible idea this is just a hypothetical) but if you do scroll back #to my b*d b*ddy days you will see me inexplicably liking louis the most out of both friend groups just cause #and now im greated by brainworms that are for once not invasive species but are actually asking politely if they may please come in #and i let them in and it does set my brain on fire because im autistic and there is no other way that i will ever process these things #but it feels so nice to not have the fire be burning everything down and to be a nice warm fireplace i feel so cozy next to instead #in big part because the brainworms/fire are already familiar and they've just been patiently waiting for me to be ready #to finally accept them and turn them into a special interest that is just so deeply comforting and nice #archer's unrelated

A post in honor of General Jarod Fire Emblem my precious.

#DCB RD Run #Jarod Fire Emblem #idk if he has a tag but he has one now if not #also i had to put some pics together and make them one bc tumblr stops letting me arrange pics after 16 pics it's so fckn annoying #now pls if you would take a seat while i go on a small tangent (small bc i am limited to thirty tags per post!) #now so you see aside from him being a total hoot with awesome resolution/determination #smth i love about general jarod fire emblem my precious is his relationship with alder #bc you see jarod is clearly scum like fuck him yeah??? and then you get whacked with this emotional scene with alder #i love how they wrote two total scum villains as being just... human. i feel bad for them in that moment #as a human being even knowing everything they did i feel bad for them and respect them both #it doesn't change that they're scum and doesn't erase what they've done but it still elicits an emotional response from me #it makes me wish jarod was better and not an enemy. it makes me wish in a way that that could've been his atonement arc beginning #but i know that can't happen and wouldn't - he's too far gone. but as a human that's just the emotion i get seeing that scene #and then RIGHT as jarod is going back to his batshit villainy he dumps THAT fuckin' speech on us #MIND YOU with this really badass music playing. all his soldiers get into position #and you watch them move to the spots you'll start off with them in on the map when the battle starts #also man was hilarious right to his grave and i love all the shade he threw at bk that's among my love languages #and yes i did actually in fact start this file the same day i beat part one #anyway enjoy your general jarod fire emblem bc fe heroes sure isn't

Corentin ref sheet!

Translation notes:

The first part (with blond Corentin) and the second part (with dark-haired Corentin) had really similar text with just a few small wording differences. I tried to catch the differences where I could, but I still feel like I might have missed a few connotative nuances.

"Uncle-like figure" was literally translated as "uncle"--I'm guessing they just meant it in a sort of metaphorical sense, so I put "uncle-like figure." Something like "older man" or "moderately-aged man" might have been a more natural English translation.

I'm still not 100% sure what they're saying with the note on the cloak's symbol. From context, I think the choice that the writer is referring to is using the Ministry symbol vs. the Hyzante national symbol, but the wording makes it sound like they're discussing a choice between the Ministry symbol vs. any symbol that will show up on the smaller pixel sprites. I feel like I might have misunderstood something there, but I couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

More of a fun fact, but "Hyzante" was sometimes translated over as "High Sand"--the wordplay hadn't occurred to me before, so it was kinda interesting!

#triangle strategy #triangle strategy artbook #corentin jennar #I will be thinking about Corentin's deadpan 'you're wrong' every time I see him now #I also really love Urushihara's comment about the ice pillars #the way tristrat lets you play around with the field is very cool (pun intended) #coming from fire emblem where it's a lot more about choice of weapon/skills #tristrat is really so neat in how it takes into account the actual positioning stuff #(blocking the enemy; getting the high ground; needing your archers to be at the right vantage point) all very fun #unrelated but I also kinda wonder whether 'Colentin' (similar to 'Cold'-entin) was more what they were going for with his name #based off of that comment from Asano #It's possible the l vs. r choice got lost in localization #ts artbook character ref sheets

I've had a killer cold the past couple days and I'm in the nice cozy stage between total nyquil coma and actually feeling better so I got an emulator set up for tactics ogre! I'm going in without much foreknowledge (other than reading Cerya's wiki page <3) so mostly I'm just nodding along excitedly as new stuff comes up.

So far it opens up with these tarot cards:

Which I've played through three times (technical difficulties) and I THINK got slightly different choices both times? But. still a little bit in a nyquil coma so. I read Cerya is recruitable in the chaos/neutral route, so I aimed for chaos with the choices (not sure if that's how it works).

And I also just think the opening's sick as heck. The ost SLAPS, and despite the limitations of pixel art the cutscenes have some cool cinematography stuff going on. I'm watching a guy riding on his little pixel horse and crying about it a little.

Also loving the chapter name. Cannot beat the vibes

ALSO also I am delighted to no end that the very first introduction to Denam + crew is them planning to murder this guy who's coming into town. In Fire Emblem this tutorial chapter would usually be something like "agh! bandits/monsters came out from nowhere!!!! what should we do??" but here it's just like "we want to start a war. killing this guy will start a war. let's go 🥁" Can't argue with that!!

And...... jk! Battle ended after one turn because this Lanselot is not the Lanselot I actually wanted to kill, but instead a foreign knight by the same name (theoretically. I'm side-eying him). Instead we're off to kill some other people in a different castle. (And thus disappoint Denam's sister, who's cool. She's got Celica vibes)

#tactics ogre #let us cling together #space-spring liveblogging #got this set up and now I'm immediately heading back to bed 🫡 #but stay tuned to see if I can. uh. beat a level #here's the thing. I'm like sooooooo good at fire emblem. crazy good at fire emblem. #you can put me in any sort of crazy maddening scenario and I'll still win it #but triangle strategy and the little bit of ff tactics I've played have totally killed me #I keep expecting my epic gamer skills to transfer and they don't :( so we'll see how this goes!
