It has been 14 hours since I found out that, according to Kubo, Byakuya calls Renji by his given name "because Rukia does" and I am obsessed with this information.

This is both the best and worst possible answer to this question. I feel like if you asked Byakuya, this is exactly the reason he would give. However, if Rukia were present, she would lose her damn mind. While I do think Rukia's assertion that Byakuya didn't look at her even once in 40 years is hyperbole, over that time I can imagine Renji's name coming up in conversation once, maybe twice tops.

Like, two weeks before she goes on her fateful mission to the Living World, B's been shortlisting Vice-Captain candidates, and over dinner, real casual:

B: Rukia. You know your friend?

Rukia: My who now?

B: That friend of yours who shouts too much. The boorishly tall one. With the red hair. Is he in Squad Eleven now?

Rukia (wracking her brain frantically for people Byakuya would consider 'her friend'): You mean Renji?

B: Yes, him.

Rukia: What about him?

B: Is he in Squad Eleven? The Sixth Seat?

Rukia: ...maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The next day, Byakuya's office, Renji shows up for his job interview.

B: You must be Renji.

Renji: uhhhhhhhh sure why not?

#byakuya kuchiki #renji abarai #rukia kuchiki #i have spent over 5 years intensely thinking about the circumstances of renji's hiring and it just keeps getting stranger in my mind #i do think b was very excited about having a vice captain who was not picked by his grandpa and he genuinely like renji for an entire 5 min #like he was probably in the best mental state he'd be in for 50 years #'oh yeah me and this rowdy squad 11 guy are gonna have so many good swordfights' byakuya is thinking #'maybe i can even get him to have a conversation with my sister so i don't have to' #and then ::gestures vaguely at soul society arc:: #thank you kubo #and thank you especially to whomever sent this question in #i am kissing you on the lips we will have a spring wedding

#ah—gaster and soul are BEING vaguely antagonistic in option one btw. not like. to each other? #i can't not draw them being pals... i am weak and their relationship is fun to mess with #ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #captain's contests (interactive games) #curious... to see what happens #sorry my energy has been so low ;; #thought i'd let you all pick what you want as an apology #options are a little limited tho i'm sorry #lol

what if the bad batch ends with crosshair and omega. what if hunter sacrifices himself for them, and they lose tech and wrecker along the way. what if echo is the reason why rex loses his will to fight and hides with gregor and wolffe. what if crosshair’s turning point is the death of his brothers, or cody, and he realizes that all he has left of cf99 is omega. what if he’s the last one and he dies saving omega.

Interestingly, Colin summarized the relationship between Merlin and Morgana in a bittersweet way. He said Morgana was the love Merlin could never have.

“Morgana was the love Merlin could never have.”

“It was a little too flirty wasn’t it?”

“Between Merlin as himself and Morgana there’s such a history there — it’s everything from the betrayal of hope, of love, of friendship. It’s very, very complicated”

“There is no more love between them anymore.”

“They aren't two peas in a pod. Well, maybe they were but Morgana was the bad pea that rolled away.”

“(On merlin and morgana falling in love) Together? Them? Yeah yeah that would be interesting.”

“Merlin would totally be into it (hooking up with Morgana.)”

On their rapport as actors:

“I…I think hugely. It’s a…It’s a brilliant transition, when you think of how…um…a huge amount of it is the work Katie has done on that, I think she’s really changed Morgana. She does it in a really heart-felt way sometimes I think, you know, It's not…it’s not just evil villain”

“That’s what I’m saying about Katie, we see so many levels in her.”

“Katie’s hovel is awesome!”

“Her sword action is really good! It’s really good!”

"Good thing she brings a lot of tea from back home so I don’t really get homesick much.”

"I can do English accent but if I’m with Katie and other Irish actors, I slip back to my accent.”

Etc. Etc.

“Everybody that Merlin loves dies.”

They wanted it. Colin Morgan wanted it.

not gonna lie, @godliath's ereloy art has rewrote my brain chemistry even before I played the game and even knew who those characters were. Cause it was one of the first things I saw when looking for HZD content here and it had me hooked Immediately.

#i don't mean this in a 'i expected the game to be a romance about the two way' i meant it in a #'i saw creator pour their heart and soul and love for the characters into shape of an art and I fell in love with it' #additionally i was absolutely obsessed with shipping the two but that's besides the point #it was hilarious seeing how every npc in hzd ever is ready to marry aloy immediately after meeting her unironically #erend might be my fave tomato captain husband but after such a start it feels strange denying all the other characters #and fans of other ships #(also i was baited by hfw trailers and am salty about it) #still ereloy for the win forever their fandom is so chill and nice i love it here #hzd #ereloy #this is like one fandom which has my dedicated shipper focus xD #erend vanguardsman #aloy despite the nora

i've get to find a mod that lets me have two different TYPES of eyes (eyes of the beholder change both eyes to dragon/cat/ect) so i've made this in photoshop lol but ryn's purple eye is more akin to a dragon eye. it never used to be but the more she grew into her draconic blood, it started to change.

Feeling like completely revamping my Spidersona lore. Specifically the dimension that he lives in, I think its time I went wild and really lean into the whole demon thing

#brought to you by me randomly redesigning his outfit #i was drawing action poses and it just. happened lmao #i really like it though its simple but effective #but yeah i think its time i just accept that i love demons/demonic aesthetics and just say fuck it #i am thinking it might work similarly to limbo in that cursed dm£ reboot #listen that game sucks in a lot of ways but i really liked the level design i thought it was clever #<- hands in the air i havent played it but i watched a playthrough of the whole thing #but yeah that kind of aesthetic plus souls stuff. because of course #basically me smashing three of my big interests into one fucked up world putting me in it #me but with spider + demon powers. you know #powers are still similar but the way i get it and how they work is sligthly changed #i think im doing this because mentally i need a little break from captain #because my head is in a spin trying to sort that out LMAO

I’m so nervous for this tire test lmao but I just know Daniel has been dying to show what he’s got so am really excited for him too. It’s all in his hands now in the best possible way. (Insert something something Invictus poem here). Go get ‘em Daniel

the fact that he himself has drawn parallel between this test and the test he did in 2013 that got him the red bull seat the first time around, i just KNOW he's more than ready to get back on the track and remind everyone exactly who the fuck he is and what the fuck he can do

#invictus LITERALLY 'i am the master of my fate i am the captain of my soul' #i just feels like all the stars are aligning yk!! i'm sick to my stomach nervous but more than anything i'm just excited for him #silverstone23 #red bull redux #answered #anonymous

Happy Birthday Yun-Yun!

@yumichikah (FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOI!)

Read Mores are for long posts!

Akina and Ikkaku were working hard trying to get a cake made. Of course, Akina was the one to reach out for help with this endeavor. "I have no idea what he likes!!!" Well, she had some idea for the present, so at least there was that. A cake design? Hell no. Flavor of cake? Nope. "I haven't baked a cake for a birthday before, what makes you think I'm capable of this?!" Ikkaku was stirring up a mess. "Well, you didn't say no." There was a grin on Akina's face watching him getting cake batter on the counters. "Probably shouldn't be that messy about it. We're going to have to clean that up." She herself was trying to get the icing ready for after the cake was baked. "I got sparklers off someone in Squad 5!" Yachiru ran into the kitchen and jumped onto the table to see what they were up to, "What's going on!?" "Shhhh!" Akina put a finger in front of her lips, "It's Yumichika's birthday, try to keep it down!" She wasn't one to talk, she was one of the louder people in the squad now thanks to her guitar. A SURPRISE? Well now, Yachiru wanted to help with that! "This place isn't decorated for a surprise party." She looked around at the bare walls and wondered where they could get banners and streamers for this. "I can go get those!" It took her no time at all to run off, so she could go find something to decorate with.

Akina let out a sigh, who else could ruin this? She went back to trying to get the icing dyed for the cake. At least in her mind, she was trying to go for a peacock design. Was it going to work out? Who knows.

"You're missing vanilla and is that salt?" Lyn had cake batter on her finger trying to figure out what they missed, clearly it was vanilla. But was it over salted, or did someone read sugar as salt.

"Wh-" She turned around, and the fourth seat was standing right there. "No way, we couldn't have screwed this up!"

"If it's just too much salt, double the batch. Ain't that hard to unfuckup a cake." There was a shrug of her shoulders, only stepping in the kitchen because of the commotion. Letting out a sigh, she offered a bit of advice, "an' if you want this to be a surprise... don't be talkin' so loud. I can hear ya over some of the squad mates trainin'. Ya're gonna be lucky he didn' already hear ya."

Akina let out a sigh and had no idea what they really could have screwed up and just doubled the recipe. This cake was going to be bigger than she wanted it to be. Maybe they could just make a three tier cake instead of a basic one? So far, this wasn't turning out to be a very good day.

"I told you I had no experience in baking a cake." Ikkaku complained as he finished stirring the mess they had made at this point. "What the hell are we supposed to do with this now, anyway?"

Yachiru would have returned with streamers and banners for a birthday and sat on Kenny's shoulders to get things taped up onto the walls. "Over there Kenny!" She was pointing places out while trying to blow up a balloon. The common room was emptied out, so they could prepare for this surprise. If it even was one now.

Akina started explaining, "In the pans, pans in oven. Then we gotta wait and then ice them after they're cool. Stack them nice and pretty... hopefully, and then try. Keyword, try. To decorate it with the icing, I got all dyed up."

It was starting to feel like a chance in hell at this point, but she was still trying to get this finished up. When was Yumichika supposed to be back anyway? The pans full of batter were tossed in the oven, and it was going to be a long wait til they were done.

After all of the cakes were out of the oven, she started working on stacking them. Now she had no skill with piping icing, but was willing to try. The living did this, right? There were those who did this as a job and then those who did this for a hobby! This can't be too hard, right?

Ikkaku watched Akina stack up the cake, "you need me for anything else other than someone to stir the cake up?"

"I mean, you can stick around if you want and carry this thing out." Though from his tone, it didn't sound like he wanted to. "Or, go find the others and join them for the surprise part." Akina was going to be a while getting this thing decorated. Her skill was in music, not cakes. Hopefully this wasn't going to look like a kid did it.

To him that just meant to head out, so he went to the common room, helping the captain and the co-lieutenant get ready.

Akina was finishing up her work and let out a long sigh, well. It was done and it looked fine to her. It was a cake with a peacock design on it. The cake looked like an amateur made it, but it was better than what she thought it was going to come out. Now the kitchen looked like an absolute disaster went through it. She stuck the sparklers in the cake near the tail feathers she decorated on. "That'll do, I think?"

"HEY!" Yachiru ran in and grabbed the cake with her little hands, lifting it over her head. "He's coming back!" Apparently, a few squad members saw him walking back while they were training outside. She ran out of the kitchen and to the common room with the cake, popping it up on the table.

Akina jumped and ran to her room to grab the present before scrambling back out to the common room with the others. It wasn't a very big present, but she figured he'd love it anyway! Quickly, she lit the sparklers as Yumichika entered the room. And the entire Squad yelled out, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUMICHIKA!"
