#backup friend

[humshummerypoot]

I just want to be somebody’s

favorite person. I know people like

me, but no one likes me

more than others. I’m

the backup friend,

the afterthought.

So I’m lonely. I’m surrounded by

people, but I’m lonely, because none

of them want me just for me. Is it too much

to ask simply to be preferred?

I am not anyones friend. Not in the ways that matter. I am not anyones first thought for a hangout. I am a backup, a fallback, an afterthought. I am the friend everyone comes to when no one is left. You know my heart used to drop whenever i would realise that "oh they didn't really ask me to come or tell me where they are going and stuff" and I'd feel so lonely everytime. I have no real friends. Just acquaintances. Classmates. No frens tho.

when im talking with a friend and they abruptly stop talking to me and start walking over to their other friends that they had no classes with (i want to be someones main friend one day)

some more Twst pokemon as my brain melts at the impending episode 7 drop tomorrow! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I went with Gholdengo and Cufant for Kalim, and Seviper and Malamar for Jamil! I went back and forth a looooot on whether to give Malamar to Jamil or Azul, but ultimately I think it just fits Jamil better. (Seviper was a given though)

#art #twisted wonderland #pokemon #poketwst #tentacles #if i had decided against giving jamil malamar then the backup plan was chatot #not because it actually fits him i just think jamil with a chatot would be funny #kalim would teach it to say nice things to him and then it would keep him up all night screeching HEY JAMIL YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND!!!! #LET'S BE TOGETHER FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER #jamil frantically googling how to rerecord chatter in the background

Surprise check

When Deadman panicked and rushed to call him during an important meeting, Constantine thought it was a ghost thing, he doubted it was anything really important so he ignored it for a few minutes.

What he didn't expect was for Deadman to inform him that his boss was coming to visit in a few hours (because apparently ghosts had bosses). The poor guy was in a panic, apparently it was the first King in charge in centuries that cared and he was coming to "make sure everything was in order".

Constantine didn't know what to expect; a King who demanded that humanity bow at his feet and the ghosts rule? One who hated it when Deadman got involved with humans and sent him away? A tyrant? It was clear that no ruler had ever been good, according to his ghost friend, so he had low expectations.

He reported this to the League, who took a high alert posture. An hour later, Wonder Woman was reviewing with everyone how foreign royalty should be treated when they heard Captain Marvel laughing with someone in the break room. Deadman was also mysteriously missing.

Constantine peeked in but all he could see was a teenager conversing with the Captain and strangely, the ghost. He was about to tell the boy that he needed a permit to enter the Watchtower when Deadman spoke up.

"I didn't know you were so interested in games, King Phantom, or that you were so good on them"

Then, John noticed the ice crown on the boy's head and his strangely sharp teeth, along with his toxic green eyes.

"Flattering me won't help you in the review" the teenager quipped "remember we're still waiting for Dan to find out if everything here is...balanced."

Constantine realized: The King was a bloody teenager.

#dpxdc #ghost king danny #he is checking that all the ghosts are ok #especially those that interact with humans in the different dimensions #that they are not in danger is his priority #he doesn't want another GIW happening #although he also ensures that the dimensions are balanced with their influences and not in danger #Dan helps him with it #it's part of his community service #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny knows that no one will take him seriously so he brings Dan as backup #Deadman is delighted with his new boss #Captain Marvel is also happy to make a friend #On the other hand #Constantine probably has an aneurysm.

So I rewatched the confrontation scene between Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng, and Lan Zhan in the Jiang Ancestral Hall.

In the novel, Jiang Cheng mocked the fact that what Wei Ying and Lan Zhan have for each other is romantic and not just that of friends. And people kept saying that this scene in the novel has more impact etc etc… because Jiang Cheng really insulted them that they’re in love. I’m not going to invalidate that… but I’m just going to explain why this scene in the drama has a great impact too.

In the drama, Jiang Cheng insulted their great friendship. I haven’t seen people point this out… but what Jiang Cheng really said didn’t mean the usual “friendship.” He could have said “友誼” or “交情” which means the type of friendship we’re all aware of.

But Jiang Cheng didn’t say any of those! He said “知己 (zhiji)” or “confidant” or “soulmate”— the very word that both Wei Ying and Lan Zhan say lovingly to each other (in the drama).

Jiang Cheng said: “为什么要道歉？为侮辱了你们这段伟大的知己之情吗？”

为什么 - why ; 要 - will (I) ; 道歉 - apologize ; 为 - for ; 侮辱 - insulting ; 了 - indicates past tense ; 你们 - your (plural) ; 这段 - this ; 伟大 - great ; 的 - of ; 知己 - confidant/intimate friend/soulmate ; 之情 - feeling/emotion; 吗 - indicating a question.

If we translate Jiang Cheng’s words directly, it would say, “Why will I apologize? For having insulted this great soulmate thing of yours?”

Note that 知己 isn’t commonly used in spoken language. It’s mostly seen in written texts only. But Wei Ying and Lan Zhan made 知己 their endearment for each other. Jiang Cheng used that very special and emotional word and tarnished it with his acrid mouth. He wasn’t just insulting their love but he insulted what they are to each other— the very nature of their relationship. (He wasn’t insinuating that they might be in love. He was outright attacking them for what they are.) He even emphasized the insult by adding 偉大 or ‘great’ sarcastically.

That’s why Wei Ying immediately lashed out. Because how dare Jiang Cheng ruin that special word he has with Lan Zhan?!

#i just studied chinese but im not a native #but i have google backup…. #feel free to correct me if im wrong! #zhiji isn’t clearly translate as soulmate anywhere in the web #but if you look at its meaning #— someone who knows you deeply and the like — #it very much means soulmate #even my best friend who’s a native taiwanese said that zhiji is very similar to a soulmate #the untamed #cql #lan wangji #lan zhan #wei wuxian #wei ying #wangxian #jiang cheng #jiang wanyin #my useless essays

Do you remember episode 12, season 3 of Xiaolin Showdown when Chase was trapped on that machine thing that was brushing butter or whatever all over his chest? Well, hypothetically speaking if First walked in on that situation, how’d he react?

Ok I cackled unreasonably loud at this ask

listen i rewatched the episode (for science) and honestly the unexpected fanservice torture dungeon happened much differently than i remembered lol (also how fucked up is that right after Jack straigth up murked older monks?? wild)

but anyway basically what First Ninja saw

ive been on internet too long not to see all of it now

congrats Jack you managed to traumatize a 800 year old ghost.

#que? #ninja showdown #my immortal soul #first ninja x chase young #idk man imagine Omi knew how to summon First Ninja and he needed backup #listen i literally rewatched the episode and realized - THERE LITERALLY WAS NO REASON FOR SHOWING US THE HEYLINS #only for a joke that Jack managed to get them and the fanservice - like jesus Chase is practically naked and Wuya's outfit??? #because holy crap i cant even begin to list every innuendo now that i view it with eyes of a person that saw horror of internet lol #it came from nowhere and gone nowhere as they are literally nowhere to be seen as monks fight Jack. not even commentary from them?? #xiaolin showdown creators decided fuck it we are going out of this season with a bang have some heylin fanservice and some sexy Guan & #pretty young Chase and cool Dashi in the next episode like afsdlkjasdkdsjdsfkkldsaf ok forget that we literally traumtized Omi with deaths #of his friends ;)

As a former Legolas fangirl this felt targeted 😂

write what you know (friends who got really into legolas and later turned out to not be interested in men)

hi! what are your thoughts on the etsy pre-modded 3ds market? do they pose any security risks?

I wouldn't say they pose any security risks, but it's basically one step removed from the people who sell spoof amiibo cards. The only difference is that spoof amiibo cards are a bit more difficult to make and people also generally add custom art and printing techniques to make it worthwhile. (It requires specialized tools that not everyone will have access to) On top of that, they are cheaper than actual amiibos (for obvious reasons)

A 3DS however is really easy to mod, doesn't require any special tools (other than a computer with an SD card slot, something that you can access at most public libraries- and depending on the model, a screwdriver) and an etsy modded 3DS will be more expensive than just buying a regular one off of ebay.

On top of that, you don't know what version of hacks they use or have the backup files incase something goes wrong- so if you brick it by accident then it's going to be 20x harder to bring it back.

Never buy a modded 3ds for more than $200. A good price range for a 3DS is $150~$70. Modded 3ds's should be on the lower end.

TL;DR- it's a scam more than anything and it's better to hack it yourself so that you know exactly what you are messing with. if you are buying a pre-modded 3DS they should go for less than a non-modded one.

#having bricked 3ds's in the past due to messing around #they were pretty easy fixes #but if i didn't know how i bricked it; what type of hacks i was using; or had the backup files then something could have gone wrong #also there are plenty of discords and forums you can use to assist you in your modding journey #google is your friend #asks #cfw
