I have never seen anyone talk about how in Larry's trial, when Phoenix gives him the signal to either lie or tell the truth, Larry understands the gestures Phoenix is doing.

I feel like we should talk about this more. They really are best friends.

#i can imagine Mia next to him confused as to wtf her protege's doing‚ and gets even more baffled when Larry seemingly understands #either that or both of them know sign language #i think that'd also be neat #like maybe Edgeworth went non-verbal sometimes as a kid and they wanted to learn for him #then when Edgeworth moved away‚ they kept learning both incase he came back and bc it was fun to talk to each other like that #it was sort of a secret way of communicating for them #what sucked was when some adults would accuse them of doing 'gang signs' #anyways just my thoughts #ace attorney #ace attorney trilogy #phoenix wright #larry butz #phoenix wright ace attorney #aa #aa trilogy

I've seen some OMORI fans talk about the "Sunny and Mari's parents were abusive" fanon and this discussion really fascinates me because like. They were certainly not abusive in the game proper because the story doesn't care about Sunny's family enough to elaborate on what kind of people his mom and dad were. I can also agree that a LOT of stories tend to make the main characters' parents abusive as a quick and convenient way to explain their issues, so it's an overused cliche by now.

At the same time, however, as overused as it may be, abusive parents still are quite a solid reason for a kid to end up with significant mental issues. And what OMORI's story lacks is just that - a solid reason why Sunny and Mari were the way they were. Trust me, you don't grow up with low self-esteem or into an overly uptight perfectionist by eating watermelon on the beach, building a treehouse and partying at your besties' birthdays lmao

#I think it would've been neat if Sunny's family was initially introduced as just this seemingly nice & financially well-off family #and then Black Space would turn out to be a series of horrid childhood memories Sunny chose to suppress #that'd peel back that saccharine veneer to show that no everything was Fucked Up Actually #so yeah. the 'abusive parents' trope is cliche but it'd still be better than the nothing we got from the game itself #honestly as much as I enjoy being salty about this game and tearing it apart the story's wasted potential makes me genuinely sad #all these kids deserved a better writer :( #omori #omori game #omori sunny #omori mari #omori fandom

Reference art of my sona, Niko Spirata + one of many monster forms (Spirit Elemental/Cat monster). As I am genderfluid, they have three references to reflect it (Feminine, Nonbinary/Both?, Masculine)!

The monster form is Undertale AU-related more than anything else (In the context of multiverse crossover happenings, however, this is something that becomes a permanence with Niko later in the timeline).

Regardless of form, they've got spirit-related abilities (hence the form in the second piece), which means they can see things unseen to the naked eye (with their third eye), call upon totems/spirit animals for support in various situations and look to various deities when meditating (for advice more than anything - it's comparable to a DnD session when a character calls upon their deity of choice). It's a more exaggerated, "magical" version of what some people can do with spiritual practices (combined with the more modern interpretation of a... witch, maybe?).

Quick edit: Reblog if you like my stuff! Please!!! (No seriously, it helps artists a lot and it gets their stuff out there to reblog)

octonauts ATLA au 🤲

Barnacles is an EXTREMELY powerful waterbender from the North Pole, with a strong love for icebending—he defaults to it most of the time. He can use all subforms of waterbending, but they're a bit harder.

Kwazii's the Avatar, but he's still a pirate AND he's a natural firebender, so he still has that "scary and dangerous" reputation. He's afraid of using his firebending, because he hates it. Barnacles is teaching him waterbending, and he's pretty good at it. So far he sucks at earthbending, and his airbending is okay, but if he gets worked up it can accidentally come out as fire... which, yeah.

Peso is an airbender, and the first one in his family. He's not very skilled at bending, and he can't fly very well, and sometimes wishes he was a waterbender, like Barnacles. That way he'd be "stronger", and could utilize its healing abilities. He has an epiphany later on in the middle of S3 that makes him realize how powerful he really is, and he learns to fly :)

Tweak is an earthbender, which she inherited from her dad (maybe*). Like Barnacles, she has a love and preference for a specific subtype—in her case it's metalbending. She's very good at it. It's how she builds GUPs so fast.

Shellington is a waterbender. He doesn't use it very much, mainly because he's Not Great at controlling it—so you'll either end up getting lightly spit on or completely drenched in a tsunami by accident.

Dashi is a non-bender (with water tribe ancestry), which puts her at a disadvantage during some missions. However! She has all of her skills from the Canon Universe, plus the extra adaptiveness seen in non-benders in ATLA (Sokka, Suki, etc).

Inkling is also a non-bender, but he has studied the elements and different bending techniques his whole life. He's Kwazii's Monk Gyatso but with less dying.

Octoagents! 👇

Calico Jack is Kwazii's Uncle Iroh. I needn't explain further. His main goal is to teach Kwazii to be less afraid of his firebending.

Natquik is a waterbender, who taught Barnacles everything he knows. He got his penchant for icebending from him. He pretty much invented it. He survived Antarctica by ✨ Becoming One With The Ice™ ✨. He doesn't just study icequakes, he can make them. He can probably spiritbend.

*I'm TORN between making Marsh be an earthbender or a waterbender. If he's an earthbender, then he can't metalbend like Tweak can, but he's still very strong. Like, scarily strong 👀. IF HE'S A WATERBENDER, then he's a swampbender, full stop.

Tracker is an airbender, mainly because of how he's clearly paralleling Peso's arc in AnB. He was the only airbender in his Polar Scouts troop, and he got picked on for it a bit—but Barnacles thought it was cool as heck, and that's how they became friends.

Do I need to explain Paani being a waterbender? No I do not. He's probably VERY powerful, but very chillax about it. He successfully freaks out everyone who witnesses him bend every time. He can part the seas like freaking Moses.

Pearl is a waterbender like Shellington; she's not super strong, but she has a LOT more control over it than he does. Peri will be a waterbender as well, but he hasn't unlocked it yet. He's trying very hard because he wants to be like his mum and uncle SO badly.

Min could easily be a bender of any kind and it would make sense, but I kinda wanna say she's a non-bender. Just cuz ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Earthbender Ryla. That's all. It makes it a lot easier to get out of caves when she's stuck. She's very casual about it. So casual, that most people either forget or don't even realize she's a bender until it comes up. Then they're like "oh yeah." as she literally moves mountains.

Airbender Pinto, who has no clue how to control it. Whenever he gets frustrated with himself, he accidentally creates small tornadoes. He can also fly! He likes to brag about it. a lot. mainly to Peso.

Waterbender Koshi, who hasn't discovered that about herself yet. She's in for a fun time when she figures it out. Remember how happy she was when she got her Octowatch? Yeah :) 10x that. I also imagine their family is full of late bloomers, but because of Dashi she has pretty low expectations for herself right now.

#can you guess what im rewatching ? ✨ xD #👀👀 what if 👉👈 someone drew this 😳 haha jk........... unless 😳 #octonauts #marsh being an earthbender is mainly because this entire post was inspired by watching the feuding tribes episode of atla #and the tour guide reminding me of marsh. #anyway rip to the dashi fans but sokka and uncle bumi are my favs so i promise my decision for her was made with love 🫶🤣 #avatar kwazii avatar kwazii Avatar Kwazii AVATAR KWAZII #i am right #ty for your time #octonauts au #self indulgent post time #ps worldbuilding stuff: #most birds descend from the air temples‚ but penguins are weird so they're usually waterbenders if they're benders at all– #which is why peso is an airbender‚ plus the first one in his family to bend at all #pinto came right after him‚ but since peso would've been off being an octonaut he didn't have anyone around to mentor him #also pirates have mixed ancestry from every nation. but the majority of pirates Don't Like the avatar so uh yeah rip kwazii iykwim– #he might be the first avatar to be a pirate in history just bc i think that'd be neat for the ✨ story ✨ #also bianca and hugo would both be waterbenders too btw #one of the cubs is a non-bender but idk who. maybe orson. #ALSO the airbenders were never wiped out in this au #the War™ never really happened but firebenders are still Scary bc of the whole Fire Is Destruction thing #idrk what the Story of this au is except for like— kwazii is the avatar. he was abandoned by his family. he joins the octonauts to help-- #--bring peace to the world + nature etc. so basically the canon plot of the og show but with magic ✨ /hj #long post #surprised i haven't hit the tag limit yet #ok byebye end post

had a nearly 2 hour long interview yesterday and when they asked "where do you see yourself in 5 years" i felt like crying

#dumb babbles #sorry but at this rate the “5 years” question gives me the same vibes as a guy talking about raising kids 3 dates in (experience) #sir ive stopped thinking that far ahead tbh #sir we JUST met you still need to prove you aren't evil #let's get one year under the belt first before we rush into things #idk it like a hybrid of what i've done in the past and it pays REALLY well but im so scared they're gonna want it to be my personality #it could be a really good opportunity as long as there's no secret blood contract. #If they can just teach me how to do the thing and then leave me in my little room to solve my puzzles that'd be neat i think #wouldn't it be funny if i started making more than my old manager wouldnt that be funny tho

Am I the only person out there that thinks Warrior Cats would be a cool idea for a Crusader Kings total conversion game???

Probably set between DOTC and TPB or maybe even after in the Lake Territories

Plagues could be simulations of whitecough/greencough

The big invasion events could be influxes of rogues into the Territories

Various traits could be retranslated based on lore of warrior cats

Not sure how a lives system could be put in place for leaders but maaaybe that'd be neat too?

57 - A Secret Day

I... I have a present for you, my light. I hope that you like it...!

I've worked on this for so long now, and now finally it's ready... a pocket of time I've stitched together just for you! Twenty-four peaceful hours cut from the cloth of time, to do with entirely as you wish. Isn't it beautiful, my light? Go ahead - try it on!

How did I make this, you ask...? Well... I am Prince of the Dark in more than name, you know! I simply... took little bits and pieces of time that weren't being used. Minutes stolen here and there, during your most lonesome nights and your most tedious classes... a-and I wove them together into something truly special. Somewhere and somewhen you can go if you ever need to... escape, for a short while.

O-oh, but you don't have to worry about everyone up above! While you're here, no time will pass outside! It... it'll be like you never left... s-so there's no need to worry about being told off by your mom, haha! And you... can do whatever you want here. You could catch up on your schoolwork, or... or explore the dark world at your leisure! You can even just sleep, if you prefer - I know how much you like to!

As for me? Well, I'm just happy to observe you for a short while, my light. I'll be right by your side through it all, to talk or to play with... o-or anything else that t-takes your fancy...! I d-don't mind at all... this is your day, don't forget!

...it suits you perfectly, my dear. Almost like it was made just for you - very fetching, haha! I really hope that you enjoy it... and that you'll always remember this special day, this secret time just for me and you.

@saberghatz ‘s incredible art has me thinking of Billy being stuck in the Upside Down, which is in 1983, so he has no idea how to communicate with Max.

So he finds spray paint and starts tagging the entire town.

When the team in 1986 are fighting, some kind of time glitch happens. Either Hawkins changes or Max gets thrown into the Upside Down. Either way, she looks around to see

Dear Max I can hear you

all over Hawkins.

oopsie link click angst thoughts hit me. my apologies for the rest of this ask 🙏

do you ever think about a potential ending where lu guang is dead and cheng xiaoshi goes through all the photos they have together just to feel like he's not gone. to spend just a few more moments together. but each photo can only be entered once and eventually there's none left and he has to accept that lu guang is Gone.

or what if they never had any photos together. what if that was an unspoken rule between them. so when lu guang is gone cheng xiaoshi can do nothing.

and they had bunkbeds. it's always strange losing someone when you're so used to having them sleeping in the same room as you. everything feels quiet. too empty. too big of a space for just cheng xiaoshi and qiao ling.

apologizing in advance bc im no fandom theorist i just kinda go woag. feelings

thats like. chefs kiss angst level. cause I think cxs would obviously try to preserve the memories that he has and gain more in the remaining ones, if any, that he has. that kind of ties to a paradox theory—what if cheng xiaoshi took photos in the photo and then preserved them? and then jumped back in time [in a photo in a photo]—would that work? I keep thinking about that one lc comic I saw a while ago that begins with shiguang having a normal day, and lg is oblivious to the odd way cxs is acting.. and his golden eyes. yet he's not really There he's only catching glimpses of his memory and even that is a ticking clock. I think he'd be gripped by that fear and desperation, knowing that he's selfishly using up whatever he has left just for one more moment of peace? calmness? normalcy? with the one that he feels connected to. but I think it'd be character of cheng xiaoshi to fight with whatever he has, tooth and nail, whatever it takes to bring lu guang back to him. disregard lg's rules because he just cannot accept that he's beyong the realm of saving.

I think they would have a few photos since cheng xiaoshi has (canonically? atleast in the shorts... but that's not exactly canon) taken photos of lg before but. I like the way you think. imagining cxs absolutely hopeless., knowing that nothing he can do in the present world can change the fate of lu guang's death. ough. because it's always worst when theres nothing to do. there's nothing more hopeless than knowing a definite fact and having the knowledge that there was AND IS nothing that could alter it. maybe he could convince himself that "it's for the better" if he acted (no matter how rashly) on the small glimmer of hope to restoring lu guang, to restore his memory, to restore the person that he knew. maybe, he could tell himself enough times that lu guang isn't completely gone, there was still some way to capture the "lu guang" he knew, and then do something about it. but all he can do it to settle with his own futile memories , that crack as time goes on.

your last line holy shit that was poetic as hell. thinking about that... how cheng xiaoshi would need to get himself used to the way that it used to be Before Lu Guang. and finding himself absolutely unused to dealing with a silence beside him. because there's a blankness where the 'silence' used to be, you know? it might've been fine with ql in the past, but then again, there's something missing that even his childhood friend can't fill.

#this is like everybody int he lc server . theres like GUARANTEED to be an angsty theory in the theories channel #so whatever im saying is just like gathered bits and pieces from those expert analysts yeaahhh #sorry for the random switching between cxs/cheng xiaoshi and lg/lu guang #sometimes it sounds right in one sometimes it makes more sense in the other #is ashe rambling again #sooorrryy tia i wanteded to gather my thoghts on computer to type it all out #at least you can wake up to this hehe #i think i kinda went off a little i was originally just going to say some thoughts adn be done wiht it but it really spiraled out of contro #no seriously i swear none of this makes sense #.......if it does though. that'ds be neat #lc #link click #cheng xiaoshi #lu guang #LINK CLICK SPOILERS #LITERALLY HUGE GIGANTIC SPOILERS #ah shit maybe i shoudlve put that at the start #shiguang daili ren #sgdlr spoilers #lc spoilers #come back from the dive asks

pros of learning to assemble furniture: fun. stimulates brain. satisfying to put something together that works and go "ta-da! end product! :)" basically a grown-up version of playing legos.

cons of learning to assemble furniture: now i want to assemble more furniture. i want to assemble more furniture. someone please make me assemble some more furniture i want to put something together with my own hands

#caroline talks #OKAY. MAYBE I'LL JUST. BUY A LEGO SET OR SOMETHING. IDK #but i understand now why my brothers were obsessed with legos #LIKE. YEAH. I GET IT NOW. #i like figuring out how pieces work together and it makes me happy to just set something up #NEW HIGH UNLOCKED: BUILT MY OFFICE CHAIR AND MY END TABLES AND IT MADE ME FEEL SOMETHING #i always knew i wanted to learn how to make furniture too? like some people on instagram really inspired me #to learn how to. make furniture. because i think that'd be neat

[dailypokemoncrochet]

I think I think of coding in the same way that y'all think of freehand crocheting, in that I think it's a kind of magic and I often have ideas that I'm pretty sure are possible to carry out if I only knew how to code. And I could read a lot about it, I could study various programming languages, but I still feel like in my head there's something not clicking that stops me from actually going from idea > program, and for someone who computers does come naturally to or is very skilled with, they're just like "??? you just gotta go from idea > program" and that can be a little frustrating

#text #i don't know how to explain why i know what i do works for crocheting #it really is like.. picture > crochet #i see the picture i make the picture #i think i could give better examples of how the process works but theres still some intuition and skill involved on the listeners part #that i wouldnt be able to just. transfer over #and i am pretty good at explaining things in many different ways and i wish i could just teach how to freehand crochet #were i a real wizard i would have apprentices and we would make a bunch of yarn critters #in my lifetime i hope i do find some kind of program that can help visualize it that'd be neat #oh but back to the computer thing i had another idea that i can word in words but not in computer speak and i dont want to go down another #series of google searches and get distracted frustrated by Things

accidentally getting a little too into my pedagogy class and starting to wonder if I should pivot and go into education (academic field)

#from the writer's den #void talks #not me seeing a paper on co-constructed rubrics as a potentially more positive route for writing assignments and pogging a little.......... #I'd be embarrassed but it was actually a really interesting read #and at multiple points while reading I was like wow I would love to try this in class as part of Contributing To The Science #like deadass... #specifically for creative writing I would be interested in merging it a bit with the stuff in the anti-racist writing workshop (book title) #about collaboratively defining craft terms with students as a means of community building #like that'd be interesting to look at! rubrics shmubrics frankly I don't think they have a place in creative writing but like #if we expand it to thinking generally about assessment--which is inevitable in any credit-giving class--I think it applies #ESPECIALLY !!! since one of the things that the authors talk about is how rubrics in general are a useful way of standardizing grading #and guess what !! non-standardized grading is also a big issue when it comes to equalizing across race class etc #so like genuinely I think there's something there #and I would love to do a little study on it #frankly I might just do so since I'll be teaching next year and have basically free book on course design #at very least will be keeping this in mind for later in the semester when we'll be talking about assessment #but anyway. marge meme (holds up the field of education studies) I just think it's neat #and I have so much respect for it

I'm working on drawing out most of my Mario Elementals designs, but my current art skills leave a lot to be desired.

So in the mean time here's some aesthetic boards I wiped together to convey the vibes I'm going for.

#Mario #Metal Mario #Gooigi #Do I tag these as Moodboards? #I don't think so they don't count as those #Probably... #Someone give me a website were I can look at images sorted by color and theme that'd be so cool thanks #Anyway #I want to include Pink Gold Peach from Mario Kart 8 #But I'd SO MUCH rather make Peach out of Rose Quartz #Because it's more fitting of her character with healing and purity themes #But gold ALSO WORKS sense it's a Soft Rare metal and Peach is very soft #I really love the concept of Rock Toads they're tougher than they look and are just all over the place #And GEODE TOADS for the actually important named Toads #I was ALSO back and forth on Copper or Bronze for Daisy #And then I realized Bronze is like 90% Copper.. So I called her Bronze but gave her more Copper themes #Sense Bronze is stronger and used in sculpting #I'm still Eh on Gooigi's board I like it mostly just kinda wish I had more general actual Goo pngs dfgfdkg #Doesn't matter they're all very neat #I hope I got my point across because who knows when I'll have the drawings done #Mario and Luigi Elementals

i can't pretend i'm immune to coming away from a story with One Dude who's very particularly special to me but at the very least there's like 85% odds that he ends up transfemme in my brain
