Look. I skim through episodes for Ran references. I skip through minutes worth of stuff if I'm confident Ran's not about to change outfit. But I am also only focused on Ran all the time. Which means I'm sorry animator who thought nobody would notice this single second frame of Ran missing her foot. I found it while trying to work out what shoes she was wearing. I was not expecting no feet at all but fair game you caught me out.

#detective conan #dcmk #it really is only for a split second #I saw it and then it took my like 15 tries to pause it at the right moment #I sorry animator I mean no disrespect by noticing this I'm sure nobody else did #I have to wonder how far ahead they plan the outfits she wears because this is a recolouur of an end scene outfit from EP142 #and they didn't show the whole outfit that time so I had to guess #now i need to go back and fix that I guess #because they decide to show me what the full look looks like #66 EPISODES LATER #this project is fascinating but also I'm a little tired and they don't make it easy...

What's with all the Gaia symbolism in the dream sequences of the PJO show? I mean sure, maybe "she's coming" referred to Echidna, and the collapsing Earth is more of a nod to Tartarus, but. ????

#did they plan this far ahead or is there going to be a change? #ESPECIALLY since it would fit in well with the theme of motherhood in ep 4 #or am I just reading in too much!!! #either way I LOVE THE SHOW insert incoherent screaming etc etc #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo tv spoilers

LEGITIMATE QUESTION TIME:

Do you think Light ACTUALLY had been trying to let everybody know Kira was a student in the Kanto region of Japan from the start? Or does he just rapidly mentally readjust to convince himself and Ryuk/the audience that this is the case to save face after he gets shocked by L confronting him and semi-tracking him down?

#it's one of those complicated and very interesting things about Light! #He ALWAYS wants to seem like he's planned everything far ahead in advance #but sometimes I don't think that he actually did! #but he might genuinely convince himself that he did very shortly after the fact! #Like I don't think he actually knew that L was going to come at him on live TV like that! #But maybe he switched gears into trying to draw L closer to him as soon as he had already figured out the general region Light is in #That's my personal theory right now but I'm not 100% sure! #light yagami #dnreread2023 #p #vol 1 ch 3

The Sith Inquisitor when the Dark Council gives them Thanaton's seat after they kill him:

somehow every time i read legacy of the force, boba is even more of an on-fire trainwreck than i remember

#THE PART WHERE DAALA OFFERS HIM AN IMPERIAL MERC JOB AND HE JUST IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTS IT ON INSTINCT #NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE IMPERIALS ARE NOW BUDDY-BUDDY WITH JACEN SOLO #AKA THE GUY WHO KILLED HIS DAUGHTER #and afterwards being like ''fuck why did i do that'' #i also think it's hilarious how everyone thinks it's bc he's got some secret master plan to go after jacen himself but nope #my man heard ''imperial merc contract'' and blacked the fuck out #also hilarious how he just rolls with everyone's assumptions and pretends that it IS part of his master plan #even while internally he's like ''i did not think this far ahead shit shit shit'' #he's really like ''BUT I WAS SO CAUGHT UP IN THE EUPHORIA OF WORKING FOR THE BAD GUYS AGAIN'' #''THAT FOR A MINUTE I LIVED IN A GALAXY WHERE MY DAUGHTER'S MURDERER DIDN'T ALSO WORK FOR THE BAD GUYS'' #boba fett #legacy of the force

39 for ethedis?

39 Avoiding a conversation.

Isengard sure is the Situation that keeps on Situation-ing huh! even long after your characters have left and are Safe. (: Ethedis has decided that, no she would rather not process her trauma tonight, thank you very much.

She didn’t like to talk about it, about Isengard. 

None of them did, understandably, but her case was for slightly different reasons. 

It wasn’t because she had endured torments any more terrible, quite the opposite in fact, and that was the problem. Between Tossir and Lothrandir’s efforts to draw the ire of their captors –in true ranger fashion– Ethedis had gotten off lightly, compared to them at least. 

Which wasn’t saying much all things considered, but it was enough for some part of her deep down to think she had no right to complain. She didn’t have it as bad as them after all, it wouldn’t be worth troubling anyone over. It would be more selfish than anything.

Her friends’ concern was better spent elsewhere, she thought, though she still flinched when someone moved a little too quickly around her. It’s not worth the worry, she thinks, even as her mind still wanders to dark rooms and laughing uruks when she walks past a smithy and sees the red-hot iron and feels the heat of the forge.

But now, after the end of the war, she found that Corunir’s worry, once pulled in a million different directions, had precious little else to focus on besides a single point named ‘Ethedis’

Somehow, that just made her feel worse.

Corunir could tell plainly that her heart was troubled despite the end of the war, but always she would dismiss it as something mundane. Just being tired or something like that. She could tell he wasn’t buying it, but she still didn’t wish to tell him about it. The last thing he needs is to be burdened with such things, she thinks, as if her wellbeing is a burden.

Now she wanders aimlessly through the gardens of the upper city, stolen from their bed at some unholy hour by dreams she would rather not recall.

“Ethedis, are you feeling alright—?” Corunir almost startles her.

“Of course, never better!” She replies a little too quickly to be convincing, smile a little too wide to be genuine.

“I see…” the concern is evident on his face, guilt writhes in her stomach. “Just wondering why you happen to be up at such an odd hour then”

“I merely wished to enjoy the fresh night air” she assures cheerfully. It wasn’t really a lie, she found the starlight and cricket songs soothed her anxious mind, a little bit at least. But she had neglected to mention that part, even though she knew it’s what Corunir’s question was really getting at.

“Well, care if I join you then?” he moves to walk beside her.

“Oh, don’t let me keep you up-”

“Please, I insist” she’s not getting out of it that easily “I wouldn’t want to return to bed without you anyway.”

“…sorry to have woken you.” She wishes she hadn’t made so much noise fumbling around their room for her robe before she left.

“Think nothing of it. If I valued sleep over your wellbeing I would not be out here.” he says plainly.

“My wellbeing? I assure you everything is fine.” She insists. Lies, actually.

They stop near one of the fountains, its gentle music filling the silence as Corunir searches for the right words.

“If I may be so bold…” he eventually says “I think I have known you long enough to tell a genuine smile from one that is forced. And I have seen more of the former and less of the latter as of late. Something is troubling you, isn’t it?” His tone is gentle and not at all accusatory, yet somehow Ethedis still feels cornered.

Just her, Corunir, and the Mûmakil in the room she would rather not address.

“…is it that obvious?” she asks a little sheepishly

“Maybe not to everyone, but I’ve… developed an eye for such things, you might say. Is it one of your wounds again? We may want to have a healer take a look-”

She shakes her head “No no, it isn’t that. The healers have tended to them well, I hardly feel them anymore, and when I do it is quite manageable.” Almost a lie, technically the truth. It was indeed old wounds bothering her, but not of the physical sort and not from the Morannon.

“I’m just… worried about Tossdir, that’s all.” There was plenty of truth in that statement, though not the whole of it. It seemed enough to convince Corunir at least, and he gives her an understanding nod with a thoughtful hum. 

Tossdir wasn’t in the city anymore, as he had escaped serious injury in the Morannon and grew restless knowing some foes may still lurk in the corners of Dagorlad and Ithilien. As far as Ethedis and Corunir knew, he was still there with Faeron, helping the Rangers of Ithilien rout out what scattered foes lingered in their lands.

“I’m worried too, but it will do him no good for us to lose sleep over it. He’s not out there alone after all, he will have plenty of capable friends there to watch out for him.” He puts a comforting arm around her shoulder, Ethedis just breathes a small sigh of relief for the fact that he’s no longer asking well-intentioned questions she doesn't know how to answer. She leans into him a little bit. “And besides, it’s not as if he’s actually gone to Mordor. Just… a little too close to it for comfort.” He seemed to be speaking to reassure himself just as much as Ethedis. “But he will be fine, I am sure of it.”

“Hmm, you’re probably right...” Ethedis just stands there under his arm for a little bit, wishing she felt brave enough to be honest with him.

But what good would it do either of them if he knew? some part of her thought it might feel better to talk about it, but was it worth it? Worth burdening Corunir with the memories that tormented her so? the beatings and the fire and the torture- No, no it wasn't worth it. She should keep that to herself, she survived it after all, she will be fine. She has to be.

"Well! we should probably head back now." she announces rather abruptly before pulling away. Corunir looks a little taken aback, but follows her back to the guest-house.

"Of course... just, if there's anything else-" "I will tell you, don't worry."

some purely indulgent nonsense for my age swap au in the form of terumob backstory. mob was already well on his way to becoming a total shut-in at this point... can't believe i did a whole page of this. let's see if i can do more

me i love her

did not realize so many people liked lihue. i thought her personality was a bit jarring and would appeal to maybe like 2 people (one of them being me). makes me feel better about not killing her off

#so the complete lore is that she did die in game #but i remembered you could encounter medicham later in coronet #and i didnt get a coronet encounter yet #so i decided if i got a medicham in coronet shed live if i didnt #she would die #as you can tell the comics i post are pretty far behind where im actually in game #so i have a lot of time to plan ahead #anyways im just imagining how different it'd be if i didn't run into one lol #probably more depressing

#party was planned two months in advance so people would be able to call off work and plan around it #Yknow it’s my friends 20th birthday and we only get to see each other maybe once or twice a month #planned it so far ahead so any issues could be dealt with in advance #I’ve spent hundreds on food games and decorations #and now I’ve got one person who ditched last minute cause she doesn’t want to drive #so we offered a ride and she just complained about how shitty her life is and left #and I got another bitch who has just barely talked to me being really stand offish #like I did something wrong throwing my friend a birthday party #and they’re his partner but they never opposed before and they never do anything and I actually care about this friend #he’s actually been there for me I want to do something nice and fun for him #so stop being a bitch just buy him a present show the fuck up and enjoy what I’ve spent two months and all my money into #ghost rambles #I’m just pissed that they’re acting like this while I’m not working so I’m not making any money this week so I can bake them cake and snacks #and I spent all the money I did have making this perfect #AFTER I SPENT THE OTHER HALF OF MY MONEY GIVING THEM A FREE RIDE TO SEE MCR LIVE #just for the bitch to complain they don’t care about mcr #like fine then give me back the money for that $300 ticket and the $40 I gave you to buy merch #and I could’ve went to mcr alone I could’ve not done all this for them #use all the money I wasted on them to buy myself a birthday present in January cause god knows they won’t remember my birthday #they never have in the last 5 years I’ve known them #i just. i put in so much to give the people I care about these really cool experiences #and no one’s grateful no one cares #and I’m tired of people complaining or dropping out #i should just quit doing stuff like this from them put the money and work into myself #I’ve wanted to redo my room for ages and I always wanted to do a big shopping trip for clothes #I’d kill to go back to new york #i wanted to get a septum too but put the money into this instead #like maybe it’s not worth trying to include them when they’re always rude #and they leave me out of shit #fucking hell when I was in the psych ward they just abandoned me didn’t talk to me I had no contact to the outside

currently trying to strategize against the global tot schedule bc i decided recently that i want two anniv SSRs :’)

#ok well technically i said that i'd catch up on marius's personal story before Officially deciding but honestly like. yeah i already wanted #marius and then i watched luke's after the personal story buildup and .. yeah. yeah #but i THINK i should be good fine. my absolute necessity goals are two cards from ancient china event and two (i could POSSIBLY settle for #one if things end up that way) halloween MRs #there are a lot of free tears during the anniv event and i'm pretty sure they can't move the halloween MRs too far ahead in the schedule sin #since they're so clearly halloween #the main concern is if they move the ancient china event too far ahead (especially after the sudden desert event) but i still THINK it'll be #fine. like i honestly think worst case scenario is it being in mid-november (before the snowfallen secrets)but i still think that's unlikely #right now my guess is that it'll come around the same time as skadi did (mid january) or a few weeks earlier; any gaps before it can be fill #filled with the personal story chapter events (featuring only one LI) and CCG if they really need to (since it's basically RRG) #but all bets are off if it turns out they have like actual plans of catching up by a certain date (i think we'll be able to be more certain #about it when we see vyn's bday since those are the things that absolutely have to happen at a specific time of year) #tot liveblog

Abandoning my og!Elias WIP to write some illegally soft LonelyEyes... They should go on vacation together: Peter planned the entire trip himself, hidden the whole time within the obscuring fog of the Lonely, because Elias hates surprises so of course Peter wanted to surprise him

#Peter has always been good at only letting Elias See him when he wants to be seen. Elias worked hard to get through his barriers‚ early on #but Peter of course needs his time alone. he oft keeps Elias out. it's good for their relationship: absence makes the heart grow fonder :P #(it's enthralling to Elias‚ getting close to someone so good at obscuring his sight. tantalizing to have him close but just out of reach) #but needles to say‚ Peter keeping to himself wasn't suspicious by any means. it was‚ then‚ truly a surprise #when Peter announced on a Friday morning that Elias would be joining him that afternoon‚ as soon as he left work‚ on a flight. #to where‚ he refused to say. and the Eye itself could not provide him with the information hidden so well by the Forsaken #it annoyed Elias all day. #the private jet was manned by long-time Lukas employees. they were not nearly as hidden from his gaze as Peter himself‚ #but they were good at staying unseen. it was not until hours into the flight that Elias finally Knew where they were going. #“The Caribbean‚ Peter?” Elias muttered. The Edward Bodden Little Cayman Airfield‚ specifically. he rolled his eyes fondly #Of course if Peter was going to pick a tropical island for his vacation spot‚ he'd choose one with a population of less than 200 #the Institute employed more people than that. #“All this secrecy just for that?” Elias asked. Peter's only response was to laugh at him. Elias scowled. #he was hiding something else‚ and even if Elias didn't Know‚ he could certainly guess. “I am not getting on a boat with you.” #Peter laughed again‚ far too delighted to have tricked his husband into finally going sailing. well. that's fine. #this marriage had lasted too long already anyway. it was their first time celebrating an anniversary‚ after... all... Oh. #Elias blinked. Peter planned this for their anniversary? yes‚ of course he did. he remembered ahead of time‚ without any input from Elias #that was... that was actually touching. #it did Not make up for the motion sickness Elias was sure to suffer from this weekend‚ but it was... something. #in the end‚ Elias got on the boat. #on Tuesday‚ after the long weekend holiday‚ Elias came back to work horribly sunburnt because *someone* didn't pack sunscreen. #this is exactly why *Elias* plans their trips instead of Peter. he certainly wouldn't have forgotten anything #alright now time to turn those tags into a real fic #i have Thoughts about Lukas employees. Peter is sailing them on an absolutely oversized massive yacht btw. sailboat yacht ⛵ #of course it has many employees. chefs‚ cleaners‚ a navigator and a captain for when Peter doesn't feel like driving the boat himself. #Peter doesn't notice any of them. the help don't exist to him. Elias‚ however‚ feels their eyes and knows when they think about him #this is a new yacht and those are new employees and they are not Lonely yet. it's a delightful vacation‚ actually #Elias makes sure that Peter and he are heard and that their activities are gossiped about. Peter remains none the wiser #alone (for a certain value of alone) on the ship‚ for a short while‚ they are both content.

Obviously you can flash your brights at someone to say "Please ignore right of way, I am letting you go!" but I have never had someone flash their brights at me before to say "Hey, I'm going to ignore right of way and go in front of you. By the way. Yeah, I know there's no way for you respond to let me know if you acquiesce to this plan, I'm just gonna do it."

#i did not in fact acquiesce to the plan! #and i could tell it was his plan before he flashed his brights at me bc he was edging ludicrously far into the intersection! #but he nearly hit me with his car so i was forced to let him turn left in front of me even though i did not want to #(i was going straight through the intersection and was the only car on my side; he was the first of 7-8 cars turning left) #(i never let a car turn left in front of me at a green light because it annoys me how boston drivers just assume that it's a given) #(but i especially don't do it when it might mean letting 8 cars go ahead of me for no reason) #(when they could just obey right of way and wait 5 seconds and get to go) #there's nothing you can do with your headlights that says “sorry charlie but no” unfortch
