#if you cant tell i like being asymmetrical

[redswaberkez]

You said you could write a whole essay on the design choses of P1 and P2, could I see that? 👀

time has come and so have i 😈 (and english isnt englishing gonna use translator ahaha sry)

First, i wanted to express their difference between one of them is alive, which is p1, while the other is already dead man walking (p2) For i used p2 - cold tones, like a corpse , for p1 - warmer colour palette

and also them being blue coded bitch and red coded bitch. y'know)

speaking of p2. I like to portray him more dead than alive as i said before. he is pale cadaverous in colour with spreading acrocyanosis (blue fingers, nose and ears). because of this, his hands, his skin, his entire being are cold. don't even try to warm him up. it's useless. he shot himself and the gaping hole in his skull wont stop bleeding, and all his body functions have slowed down significantly. that's why the wound doesn't heal.

the racoon eyes symptom (reaaally dark circles under the eyes) and intraocular hemorrhage (which isn't there, just slightly red eyes instead) are appears in patients with skull fractures and i think gunshot wound also matches the description. also empty lifeless look in faded-green eyes.

p2's nose and goatee are more spikey and straight bc i feel him more sharp-shaped than p1. p2 is like an explosion havoc and spikes 💥💥💥 he WILL show with all his appearance that he is a thorn and dont touch him ot you are dead, BUT he isnt shy, or meek, or sissy and etc. it's hard NOT TO notice him. yes he IS dry, but he likes to annoy people by his existence and the bullet damaged his brains so this also will act up sometimes. Thats why his pose with gun is open with a maniacal smirk. He will shoot u for fun lmao. I gave him earrings and grown hair just bc i wanted to. no hidden meanings in there And honorable mention. his pin is dead too

P1 NOW

his palette is warmer because he is alive. fiery red hair gives an even more dangerous look (like a fly agaric). disterssed black nail polish bc he is the one who is listening to alt nu metal music. imo he would paint his nails. his eyes sparkle with hatred and madness if u look REAALY CLOOSE ((and same is on my the fiiirst art of him))

okay, we zoomed too close. Now you can see his asymmetrical glasses, they give him an even more absurd and virulent look. Something that acts on our subcortex of consciousness and tells us that something is wrong. (aaand i forgor abt p2's sunglasses ooop💀)

p1 appearance isnt too sharp-shaped bc for me. for me. his isnt an explosion like p2. p1 is a predator that will wait for you for HOURS. no sudden movements, everything is precisely calculated. His world is a havoc, but he is the one who will solve this problem. He wont spoil anything in seconds. thats why his posture is closed and strict as opposed to p2. u seee.. they are the opposites.... oooo

his gaze is heavy, he looks at everyone with disgust and distrust. medium-thick eyebrows only add heaviness, unlike p2, his eyebrows are thiiin. p1 is SICK of everyone's bullshit to be honest.

Turtleneck turtleneck... I just like turtlenecks and also character must have a wardrobe with different clothes in it, right? oh and ofc. their crosses. i explained it here

and for the ending AS I MENTIONED BEFOOOORE i gave p1 klayton's (the one w red mohawk) facial traits ON PURPOSE. but for p2... for him i unconsciously gave blue stahli's facial traits (pink one) and when i relized it it was kindaaa eye-opening SJDHFSKJD. circle is closed now. also check out their music its sooo sick i cant

#thats all i can recall fOR NOW #thank u for coming to my ted talk #postal #postal dude #ask

[intersex-support]

Do you have information regarding chimera intersex conditions (if im using the right term). I have reason to believe I at least may be some form of chimera but have suspicions about intersexism aswell, but information is hard to find. I'm mostly wondering if there's an intersex condition that could outwardly appear as an afab, with most of the condition being internal if that makes sense?

I have a very masculine build and square jawline, with small hips (though I sport stretch marks there), and I have a clear line on my stomach and lower back where half of it is darker than the other, and my face is clearly very asymmetrical (like weirdly asymmetrical, my eyes are two different shapes).

(Cw for like period/genital talk rq)

I also have rly painful periods (though I only rly cramp on one side, though this could be attributed to the possibility of Endometriosis) yet my flow is abnormally light (considering my family's history of heavy flows) And I dont know if this is normal because I cant get a solid answer from google but I have literally no feeling inside my vagina, like none at all. (if this is normal just ignore this, but I have a feeling its not? Sorry btw if that is awkward I just need a solid answer)

I don't know what other information to include so if you need more I can send another ask in. It's just rly rough being almost 21 and realizing ur body is like, "abnormal" compared to everyone around you (sort of feels like a teenager issue lol). And I just need someone to tell me if I should drop it or if i really should bring this up to my doctor.

Thank you for the time you took to read this, it means a lot this has really been bothering me and i just need some help

Hi anon,

I'm glad you reached out. I know how tough it is to find information about intersex variations on the internet, so I also asked some of my friends who are chimeras to give some input on this answer. I know it can be really overwhelming to try to figure out if you're intersex, so just want to affirm that you are not alone in that and that you can research at whatever pace feels comfortable for you!

There are several intersex variations where you might have external genitalia like a vulva and clitoris, but that you might have internal testes, streak gonads, or ovotestes.

For chimerism, there is a lot of variety in terms of how it presents, so people will have a whole range of combinations of genitalia, gonads, secondary sex characteristics, all depending on their own unique variation. This can include ambiguous genitalia, genitalia that looks liek a vulva and vagina, and genitalia that looks more like a penis. It can be hard to find specific information, because so much of it will vary depending on your own situation. This article (tw for intersexist medical language) describes someone with chimerism who menstruates, so that is definitely possible. I can't find any specific information about period pain and chimerism, but I talked with a friend with chimerism who experiences a lot of period pain, so that definitely can happen.

I've only found information talking about different eye colors as something that can sometimes happen with chimerism and couldn't find anything about eye shape specifically. Having patches of different colored or textured hair can be a sign of chimerism.

Basically, it's possible that you could be a chimera with both XX and XY chromosomes, have a vulva and clitoris and menstruate, and potentially have ovaries or testes. The only way to confirm that would be through genetic testing.

Other possibilities to look into might include mosaicism. I'd suggest reading through this intersex variations glossary and see if anything jumps out at you that is in line with other symptoms you might have.

Overall, it's certainly possible for someone to have chimerism/chromosome variations, a vulva and vagina, periods, and potentially variations in gonads as well. If you are interested in looking more into this, you would probably want to see an endocrinologist or a clinical geneticist who could help you explore different options. I wish I had more resources to offer you, but most of the stuff out there is just different medical articles that use a lot of discriminatory language. Please feel free to reach back out with any follow up questions or just to receive support, and know that we are wishing you the best of luck on this journey.

yr my hero for this ask . i AM just gonna choose 8 monster high dolls i wanna talk about . under a cut so as not to spam the entire dash

1.can i talk about neon frights twyla im dying to talk about neon frights twyla. theres things i rly like and really dont like about this line overall, (like. i can just tell looking at her that her hair is cheaply done, and everyones outfits are just the same hoodie and skirt situation) BUT. look. i love love LOVEEE her MAKEUP. and her little earplugs bc she doesnt like noise. her LANTERN?? the bunny details on her harness, but ALSO if you look closely at the top those are SPIDERS THAT ARE BUTTONS!! her hoodie has a little scalloped little peter pan collar situation?? ivbe literally thought of nothing of this doll for Days.

2. now. lets talk about neon frights draculaura. i love basically every single draculaura thats ever existed ever, shes my precious lovely girl and i love her sweet face. that being said . i Do Not Like Anything Happening Here.

i think the yellow is a terrible color choice. just awful. i think the purple lipstick could work and it doesnt. the skirt is hideous. the HAIR also bad. the laptop is cute, the shoes are good, and the bat wings on the collar are cute but theyve done that for draculaura before and better. but yeah look what they did to my girl :((((

5. im sorry but i have to say something about monster ball lagoona.

Whatever the question, the market is the answer

“Too many white people not enough markets”

“I mean i still didn’t understand any of it but i understood it was nice”

“Fucking cyrus man…” on cocktails and cacao ceremonies

It feels like im looking at the relic of a golden age that doesn’t know its past its best before date

Lots of people breeds competition in both capitalism and creativity. Capitalism also breeds racism.

Nobody gives one fuck about you here which is both amazing and kinda isolating

Its like if every city ive ever been to merged into one and did a bunch of drugs

I have fewer ideas but i have a lot of resolution so when i want one to work i just throw everything at it till it does

luck favors those who need it/rely on it in good faith

I was busy being sad and shit so I wasn’t in the mood for a heart attack

How lucky we are, to know that as long as we have charge on our phone or an internet connection, we’ll never go without

Going nowhere the long way

“Fuck you”

“What?”

“I was talking to the aircon”

Calories dont work on Mondays

Chicken is made by man, duck is made by god

Thats why i pay the rent

The only case there is is a quesadilla

It’s strangely captivating.

A city of nine million perfect strangers and nine million deranged fucking maniacs.

Everyone fits in. Because theres no such thing as “too different” out here.

Milk that mfer for every lil drop of lactation in it’s scary asymmetrical titty

Everybody be skipping to the calm down phase of life without ever experiencing the youthful fuckaround stage

The lifeline on my hand seems to doing fine.

The other two, I cant quite remember what they’re supposed to mean. Something about happiness or love.

They’re looking a little worse for wear lately.

I feel glad to have an end date but miserable to end it

Scared of old reality but excited to confirm or deny it

Confused about my choices here and whether my feelings were made from genuine feelings

“How was the quality of your call?” Asks the messenger app.

To which I cannot reply.

Because to reply honestly would not do justice to the quality of the app, and instead be a comment on my experience of it.

The feeling in my gut when she said she met someone.

The thoughts back to all the times where I wanted to tell you i was yours.

All at once.

With a vengeance

Stabbing in the chest

What am i doing here

Accidentally drunk off a Manhattan i didnt want and a quarter pint of Guinness

In New York

In the rain

Trying desperately to find a job

In a field im hardly good at

It seems to me that it boils down.

When you look at the root of it all

What do you want

What do i want

How you utilize the two to make a life that brings you joy

Kill me, im french

Traveling is honestly comparable to hard drugs at this point: intense, euphoric, lands you in sketchy circumstances and often leads to living in very questionable scenarios. It also has a tendency to leave you broke as fuck and wondering where the last six months went

It do be a lil comedic,

A city of 12 million mother fuckers buzzing around packed in like a hive, and I’ve hardly made a friend.

[warishaaa]

Home is a feeling I haven't felt in a while. Now I do have a home but it's not the same. It doesn't have stories spiralling around that I could write about.

Sometimes I step out and it feels like a foreign land, and all the faces are so alien, smiles so formal like I am the astronaut finally finding life on a distant planet.

Nobody looks anyone in the eyes trying to read them, they are all just murmuring tales of dismay in exasperation and I miss going out and people looking me in the eye and smiling and asking about my day.

The tiled floor lacks the coarseness that could scrape my knee and I miss scraping my knee sometimes. It would be nice to bleed a little, giving a break to my heart that bleeds every day and a little, letting go of things stabbed in and now it smells of those things, people, and places like when sometimes you cut fruit with a steel knife the fruit carries the metallic taste of it.

I miss falling effortlessly sometimes and crying over what hurt without this facade of "Oh it doesn't matter, I am fine." before it becomes like a heavy rag that tears and falls apart because of the weight.

I haven't been home since the summer of 2020. I lost it on a hazy Saturday that smelt like rain for the last time and the ceiling dripped with conversations that could make my heart fill with sunshine and drizzle and I can't figure out

if I am lost or have I been robbed

The last time I heard of my old quarter, a new family had shifted there, a lady stood near the balcony looking outside and I wondered if she looked at the same things I looked at. Did she notice the arch of the gate in front is asymmetrical and that when it rains the part right in front of the urinal never gets flooded even if the whole road does, did she realize the tree by the side would always look like it would enter through the window but it never does and the position of the potted plant kept looks like it's smiling and sometimes at night if you stare over the canopy of that mango tree you may find two fireflies playing around

I miss saying bye and expecting to see them that very day. Now every goodbye feels like an ending, not knowing if it would be months or years, or a lifetime this time

I dream of things that were my daily hassle once and I dream of them like they were the only things I lived for. I read somewhere "You never stop moving once you move out" and I realized

there will always be places calling us for their unfinished business and I tell you a call from the city is the one cant decline

Growing up snatches everything and everyone you hold tightly except parts of you practice unconsciously. You would still look at them after hearing something amusing except this time they would be looking somewhere else

I think the last of home I felt was when I frowned going to school in one of those tiny pull cars loaded with students like the last cookie being forced to fit in an already full jar and also when I was wrapped in the arms of a person I can't remember to face of anymore.

I often dream of those pieces of my past life. I often dream of home; you know.

[sanchoyo]

danny phantom season 2, episode 17-20 thoughts! finishing up season two! the finale is the THIRD 2-PARTER OF SEASON 2. that's so many! I wonder how many season 3 will have?

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-UERGH WHY DOES VLAD HAVE AN AI WITH MADDIE'S FACE ON IT. SOOO CREEPY. AND MORE 'CREATIONS' waiiiit. vlad is Dr. Frankenstein! (despite his ghost design obviously referencing vampires) HE HAS 'CREATIONS' HE MAKES THEN WONT TAKE REAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR!!! this bitch.

-danny was late and his friends immediately start going off about how hes inconsiderate, and has been treating them like sidekicks??? he just overslept, my god. chill. even if he has, be nicer about talking about it with him?? he really can't help that he sometimes has to chase the ghosts, or has a secret identity to protect...

-'what kind of ghost haunts a miniature golf course' umm. me as a ghost. next question

-imagine going home and theres a tiny child on your bed claiming to be your cousin. with as many cousins I have, I would probably believe her. but the 'ran away from home' BIT....SHES 12?? SHES SO TINY. I hate that they have her belly out in her ghost form, but I like how her colors are asymmetrical. something about her design...maybe the proportions?? are weird to me...anyway danny was good to feed her, but he shouldve taken her to his parents FIRST. or, tbh, probably jazz. (JAZZ DIDNT EVEN GET TO MEET HER!!! NOOO. I mean she said she'll be BACK BUT STILL)

-ANYWAY. shes voiced by AnnaSophia Robb, the girl who was in because of winn dixie, played as violet from charlie and the chocolate factory, and was the girl from bridge to terrabithia. (the movie that made me cry hysterically when I was 12 and I never watched it again because it Broke Me!) thats super cool.

-vlad sucks: the episode, basically. what's new!! I love how he's like, I'm Not A Villain. *immediately cuts to him torturing danny to make him transform, to get mid-transformation DNA, to perfect a Clone.* *immediately shows that he doesnt give a shit about his new daughter Dani and just wants a ''more perfect clone'' and will put her in danger to get that. will let her DIE to get that*

-Dani is danny's clone and is a girl? transgenderism....one of them has to be trans. or they both are.

-dani just. leaving at the end. WHAT? SHES 12. DONT JUST. NO!!! SHE WAS PROBABLY JUST BORN, A MONTH AGO AT MOST, RIGHT?? SHE NEEDS...SOMEWHERE TO LIVE. MONEY? FOOD?? A FAMILY?? AN EDUCATION???! WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S LEAVING!!! OKAY BYE I GUESS!!! D: concern!!!

-the next ep opens with skulker chasing a ghost down. ...does skulker count as a ghost hunter in the way valerie and danny do? I mean, sure, he hunts the good guys too, but he. he hunts ghosts...also, we haven't seen his Real Form since his debut episode! tiny...

-the guys in white are back! ngl, I assumed they were a gag for that one episode. you're telling me they might actually be a threat? ok.

-valerie in her lil nasty burger uniform looks so cute!! glad shes not in that mascot uniform this time. I guess she stopped hiding that she's working there now?

-gregor having white hair, dressed in black and white...and green eyes...sam has a Type, I guess.

-danny being unnecessarily hostile about gregor. danny!!! hes been nice so far. he looks a little...tall to be 14, but. danny doesnt know anything about him! (he does Suspect, but...you cant just spy on people and be rude to them from a hunch.) also, gregor kissed her, and when she freaked out, he was like 'oh no!! sorry, we can take it slow! I understand!' which was NICE. I hate jealousy plots still tho.

-altho. umm. tucker, being concerned about danny spying on them??? SAM AND YOU WERE SPYING ON DANNY AND VALERIE A FEW EPISODES AGO!!!!! im not saying its RIGHT, but dont be a hypocrite!!! AND THEN SAM BEING MAD ABOUT IT, TOO.

-DANNY IS A 7 ON THE SCALE OF ECTOPLASMIC POWER!!! out of 10? so I want to know where the other ghosts rank...I mean it's a list from the guys in white, so, it may not even be accurate, like, they havent seen ALL of his powers, have they?

-Lancer being like 'im not cooperating with the FEDS' until they said they could access his tax records. they already did that joke with jack, but like, its still funny. kings of tax evasion.

-tucker's aggressive third-wheeling. but gregor being super into it. gregor/tucker is the real ship here. then gregor kissing danny on both cheeks after hugging him. bi poly king gregor. (he does turn out to be a liar with a phoney accent. unsurprising, BUT THE CONCEPT OF HIM BEING GENUINE AND THEM ALL DATING IS FUN)

-THE...GUYS IN WHITE THINKING GREGOR IS DANNY PHANTOM. LMAOOO. GET HIS ASS. or,, Elliot. lmfao

-sam saying tucker is part of the package because theyre friends was super sweet <3 but also 'part of the package'...polyships are obviously the solution to these dumb jealousy/love triangle plots.

-danny crashed a whole plane. the collateral damage...

-is he....

-you know....

.... (ITS NOT GAY IF YOU'RE DOING IT TO PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT, AND LIE TO A GIRL. RIGHT? he was getting a little too into pretending to enjoy tucker's company, and the above...c'mon, guy.)

-lmao, freakshow is in actual prison. I didn't expect a follow up, or for him to show back up! in the finale of this season, too!

-THE SICK TATTOO GHOST IS NAMED LYDIA!!! more Lore On her. freakshow seemed genuinely concerned about her. also, is she mute? I don't think she talked the first time we saw her, either. and we didn't know freakshow 'envied' ghosts, either, the first time, we just knew he was controlling them. interesting!

-...they literally stole the infinity gauntlet from marvel and called it the reality gauntlet. is that legal. what the fuck. even with the gems in the lil slots, having different powers...they had freakshow in jail, but didnt check his pockets??! hes just still in his lil outfit??? what kind of ...oh, its in amity park. yeah, all of the adults are idiots, okay, sure.

-'freakshow!' 'in the anemic flesh!' dude take some iron pills then. also, sure, the red eyes could be contacts for his aesthetic, but the whites of his eyes are yellow! does he have jaundice?! he severely needs more...like, every kind of vitamin. (this is what im worried about as freakshow attacks danny with giant robots)

-again, goth circus is a sick theme, and I love his goth train.

-oh FUCK every single person saw danny transform. on a stage. including his parents via TV. oh god. the guys in white and immediately like 'youre coming in for experiments!' SCARY. at least the crowd is willing to help him to escape...perks of now being a local celeb! even the kids at school are accepting :) this is what, the third time his family has found out? its always been an alt timeline tho. and danny fully intending to just rewrite things again instead of...I dunno, trying to roll with it this time? hes really worried his family won't accept him, huh...

-'maybe our son IS THE GHOST BOY, but its not as if our family's ghostly activities have EVER PUT YOUR FAMILIES IN DANGER' maddie. mmmmmmmmmmmm. okay.

-danny 100% prepared to run away from home because of this :( oh :( and saying his parents are 'looking for him, or a scalpel to dissect him with' ouch...

-THE GUYS IN WHITE TRYING TO ARREST A 14 YEAR OLD. fuck da feds.

-side note (another one about voice actors...) freakshow's voice actor, Jon Cryer, was lex luthor in pretty much every DC tv show, which is why I recognized his voice, because my dad loves those shows so I've seen a good bit of them without seeking them out...)

-the old man saying 'hey, i still had minutes left!' and danny saying 'you gotta watch those roaming charges!' about danny destroying the people in the diner's phones so no one could report seeing him...would kids today understand these things. can you even BUY minutes anymore...I remember my first phone being a flip phone, and the fact I always had minutes when my sister ran out super fast, because I didnt have friends calling or texting me like she did...:/

-the fentons being genuinely like 'why didnt danny trust us and tell us this, we love him :(' and JAZZ LAYING INTO THEM WITH THE 'DISSECTION/MOLECULE BY MOLECULE' LINES. LITERALLLLY. they need to apologize

-technically, lydias stronger than you! -jazz lesbianism moments! when did you even learn her name!!! but also get freakshows ass. lydia is also cooler looking. looove her design sm still.

-jazz psychoanalyzing freakshow... (also, her also having ghost envy? au where jazz is a ghost!! id like to see it)

-im glad the kids still got to go to their respective vacation things, even if they cant really stick around and enjoy them much...

-furry: confirmed. (also tucker calling her hot. tucker is a furry confirmed)

-danny being mad someone at the comic con is selling comics of him without permission, lmfao. give him his royalties!

-freakshow > thanos because hes a drama clown and does use his gauntlet to be FLASHY AND DRAMATIC.

-jazz's 'USE PYSCOLOGY' to danny about freakshow LMAOO. AND THEN IT WORKING. but, oh, freakshow's ghost form sucks. I like him as a clown better tbh. good thing danny took away his ghost powers!

-his parents hugging him and saying theyre proud :"( and saying 'of course you lied to us, we never gave you a reason not to!' and saying they were in the wrong basically for always talking about hurting ghosts aaaa :""(

-then he WIPED THEIR MEMORIES AGAIN!!! FUCK. I can understand him wiping the goverments/student bodies' memories, but why his parents?? they were being accepting!! ARGHHH. season 3 couldve been them all trying to adjust to them knowing!

-I know, on a meta level the showrunners probably wanted to just reset things to the status quo of him having a secret identity. But. We've been doing that for (2) seasons, I'd love if season 3 could be like, his parents adjusting to this and trying way harder to learn more and accept it (and the shenanigans that could come from that) and for fun, if he didn't wipe the students memories, it could be him being popular for a while, then everyone slowly realizing, oh, he's still Danny. Like. he might have ghost powers but hes Just The Same Guy instead of putting him on a pedestal (and seeing them all try and help him hide it from the giw/people who don't know!!)

-fuck they didn't even explain WHY he wiped everyone except sam, tucker and jazz's memories. he just Did It right when his parents were saying they loved/accepted him!! and sam and tucker didnt question it at all!!! HELLO??? very annoyed about this turn of events.

-anyway. onto season 3! I know its shorter than the first two seasons, and is the last season... I might just do it in 2 bursts if I can... :3c depends on the episodes' content and how much I want to say about each!

[semi-imaginary-place]

more tales of arise liveblogging

yes yes yes! I was hoping shionne and alphen would get separated and then he’d lose the power of the fire sword! yes!

hey great the party’s all here. what about all those sailors tho...

if alphen was involved in that ancient calamity, then where was he for the last 300 years?

dahalim brings up some good points. was the failure to create a sovereign from a dahnan why the current sovereign process only for renans? but then why use a dahnan in the first place? in the flashback the master master core thing seemed to exude darkness so my guess is that this has to do with how only dahnans have light astral energy and only renans have dark astral energy. the crown contest consists of gathering astral energy from dahna including light, this also probably has something to do with it, is it so that in combination with a renan and the darkness of the master master core, its a full set of astral energy elements?

maybe its just me but no mask alphen is weirding me out. i cant tell if i just got used to the half mask or if i just really liked the half mask asymmetrical design. maybe a bit of both.

eyyy the sailors are ok!

wait... im confused. ok. big explosion. naori puts the mask on alphen but it doesn’t seal his memories? she stuffs his on a starship back to dahna the memory of which gets sealed by the mask. but does alphen remember the past 300 years or not? was he active and his memories constantly being erased? was he in cryostasis or something?

kisara’s right. alphen why are you feeling guilty for something you did not know the consequences of (not for lack of trying) and didn’t have much choice in to begin with

alphen’s enjoying discomfort huh

alphen DOES have a 300 year gap in his memory. wonder why. omg he really might have been in cryostatsis

wait a minute. i was i caught up in shionne losing the one person she could hold on the boat scene that i didn’t even notice that eyeliner-manspreading villain dude there could grab her without doubling over in pain

everyone in this party is so traumatized

oh nvm volhran felt shionne’s thorns he jsut liked the pain. ok that was funny rinwell and law going “man is that creepy dude HORNY for alphen?? he totally gets off on the pain of alphen’s attacks” while alphen is standing right there.

oh i figured out what was bothering me. sovereign is gender neutral though in jp its ou(king) and lord in universe is a gender neutral term. but maiden isn’t and maiden in particular has implications of a woman’s sexual history which is omfsies.

oh interesting. dahalim has a line “I can’t ignore your[alphen’s] pain” which would i assume only start occurring after his mask is removed. i am definitely reading too much into this but dohalim and alphen are the only two that compliment each other’s appearences. alphen: stand there too long and someone will paint you. dohalim: there’s nothing more magnificent than the musculature of a warrior

is volhran using mind control?

OH WE FIGHTING SHIONNE

willing to be hurt because shionne’s important and alphen cares about her. this is some good symbolism

i always assumed that the crown contest sovereign never showed up because they’re busy ruling over lenegis, but now im having second thoughts. how does the crown contest sovereign connect with why the renans were trying to create a sovereign 300 years ago

ive been having the same thoughts as kisara recently. i want loyalty to be a good thing, but some times it isn’t

yeah shionnes hiding something about waht will happen when all 5 cores are brought together

volran does have some foiling with alphen in terms of pwoers. sovereign crest (so the whole crown contest was a lie?), fire vs ice powers, swords. but he’s such a clown that i dont really care. cool fight sequence tho.

oh yeah i noticed those women in red with every lord, wasnt sure what was up with them tho

WORD COUNT ⌙ 2.4k

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

“that’s absolutely hideous. makes me want to wretch.” lukas groans.

“it’s not that bad..” you say, looking down at the magazine.

lukas scoffs, “y/n for someone who’s been to countless fashion shows, you have zero taste. that dress,” he says pointing to the teal chiffon garment in the magazine. “well that dress should be a crime. and not in a good way.”

you laugh a little and flip to a new page. adorning the page is beautiful spread of satin mauve gowns.

“this is the one!” you exclaim, pointing to a tighter fit version of the colored gowns.

“place an order for it! it’ll come in time for my parents gala! i’ll make sure to get a matching tie.” your friend gleams.

the two of you are gushing over what accessories to wear when you’re interrupted.

“look blaise, the hufflepuffs have moved on from planting and cooking to pursue something more meaningful... shopping.” draco smirks.

you roll your eyes at the boy. malfoy could be such an annoyance for no reason.

“draco i think you’d benefit from a day with us. those shoes are so ghastly.” lukas snorts.

you giggle and tell your friend to play nice.

“whatever, avery. you and your blood traitor parents wouldn’t know the first thing about luxury.” draco seethes.

your best friend, lukas avery, a part of the sacred twenty-eight pure-blood families. not like he or his parents care. that fact, annoys malfoy to no end.

“malfoy leave us alone, i don’t see why you constantly have to instigate with everyone.” you say.

blaise grins at you, “draco you’ve upset the poor girl. you know how sensitive the ‘puffs are.”

lukas gets up from his seat, pulling you with him. he glares at the two slytherin boys before leading the two of you to the hufflepuff common room.

“i cant believe my parents invited their families to the gala. i swear i’m going to kill zabini and malfoy if they ruin my night.” lukas complains.

“don’t worry, i doubt they’ll cause a scene there. they can’t afford to make their perfect families look bad.” you joke.

—

the day of the gala comes quickly. on one of the hottest days of the summer. you wouldn’t have cared if it weren’t for the fact that the avery’s had you and their son setting up the outside for the gala.

“mother, do we have to bring all the tables in the gardens? cant the servants do it?” lukas asks.

his mother, jane, gives him a sharp look.

he quickly gives up on his idea and the two of you walk to the gardens, tables and chairs in tow. the avery’s gardens are lovely, full of green grass and a pleathora of gorgeous flowers.

“this wouldn’t be a problem if we could use magic.” you say, placing a chair by a small metal table.

“you stop complaining! i carried way more than you.” lukas scoffs, fanning his flushed face.

“you’re such a dic-” you stop before you finish, spotting his father beside the two of you.

“hi thomas!” you greet the tall gentleman.

he eyes you before saying, “i hope you can improve your choice of words by tonight, y/n. i’d hate to have to send you to bed early just because you start using you colorful vocabulary.”

lukas snorts as you sulk.

“you two can start getting ready, take your time. when you’re done i expect you two greet guests with me and your mother.” thomas tells the two of you.

“us? greeting everyone? even the malfoy’s?” lukas grimaces.

“yes lukas, even the malfoy’s.” thomas chuckles.

getting ready definitely distracts the both of you from any thoughts of annoying pureblood families.

you help lukas into his grey suit. the suit jacket is asymmetrical and he wears a mauve silk turtleneck under it.

“black boots or snakeskin?” he questions.

“snakeskin. you have a statement to make.”

then he helps you slip into your mauve gown. it hugs your curves wonderfully. the dress is held up by two thin straps and drapes down your chest. it’s a simple gown, but the tightness and texture make it a a sight to behold.

lukas does your hair to your liking and helps you clasp your necklace.

“we look dashing.” he smiles at the both of you in the mirror.

“i must say, we clean up expertly. also, i better get my earrings back after tonight. you stole my last pair, and i won’t let you this time.” you say tugging slightly on the crystal earrings he’s wearing.

lukas waves you off and holds his arm out for you, leading you down the spiraling staircase.

“look at how beautiful they are, thomas.” jane smiles, winking at you.

you thank her and take your place beside the family, beginning to greet the guests.

most of them you know through school, and easily sparked up converstation.

besides pansy, she wasn’t too keen of talking to you.

after an hour you began to feel tired of sparking up the same converstation with people. you were beginning to wish could banter with malfoy just for a change in conversation.

almost on cue, the malfoy’s enter the room. lukas glances at you and playfully rolls his eyes, earning a subtle shove from his father.

“lovely gala you’ve put together, jane.” narcissa says before greeting the rest of you.

“i’ll have to agree with my wife. everything looks immaculate,” lucius says. “and your son is growing up quite nicely. he takes after you, thomas”

as the parents drift off into a conversation, draco clears his throat. you look at him and smile.

“i see you’ve gotten new shoes, malfoy. i must say, you can’t go astray with a good boot. good choice.” you say.

lukas snickers, “although an off white suit? thats questionable.”

draco glares at him before retiring hs attention to you, “you look nice. i almost didn’t recognize you.”

you scoff, “i look extactly like myself, draco. i’m just in a tight dress.”

he doesn’t say anything, but instead, looks you up and down and smirks. you don’t know why, but the gesture sends a shock down your spine.

soon the malfoy’s make their way to a dining table, and you continue to greet guests for a few more minutes.

“lukas, escort y/n to the dance floor for the first dance. and please, do not try any new dance moves you saw at the ballet. we don’t need a repeat of last winter.” jane tells her son.

“it wasn’t my fault.. y/n didn’t practice.” he mutters.

you and lukas make your way to the middle of the ballroom. his right hand envelopes your own and he allows his left to sit at your waist.

suddenly the music begins and you and your best friend float around the room elegantly.

you hear a few ooo’s and ahh’s. that eases the awkwardness you feel about being the opening dancers.

“malfoy has a crush.” lukas whispers.

“how riveting.” you huff, focusing on the steps.

“oh, not just any crush. it’s you, love.” he says, dipping you down and winking.

“are you sure he’s not smitten with pansy.” you say, quirking your eyebrow up.

lukas raises you back up and spins you, “that’s a stupid question, no one likes pansy.”

“that’s rude.” you chastise.

“well she doesn’t know i said it. i think you should ask him to dance.” lukas grins.

the music stops. the guests clap respectively.

“i thought we hated malfoy?” you say.

“we don’t hate anyone. just ask him.” lukas tells you.

before you can protest, lukas leaves you going to dance with leo greene.

there was no way you’d ask malfoy to dance. so instead, you go to sit at your table. there’s an array of foods and cocktails to indulge, and indulge you do.

a boring hour passes and you decide to escort yourself to the gardens. by now, the stars are out and the guests are all inside. you’re all alone. as you walk through the hydrangeas you faintly hear your favorite song being played on the piano. you smile to yourself and gently sway to the beat.

“cant find a dancing partner, y/l/n?” draco asks, poking his head out in front of you.

you shriek and cover your mouth.

“don’t scare people, malfoy!” you say, slapping his wrist.

“oh please, i didn’t mean to,” he pauses and looks up and down at you again. “want to dance, y/l/n?”

you give him a questioning look but take his hand anyway.

“please refrain from stepping on my feet.” he teases.

“if i step on your feet it’s deserved.” you reply.

he rolls his eyes, and begins dancing with you.

“lukas is under the impression that you, draco dear, are harboring a crush on me.” you tell him.

“a crush? i’ll say i find you beautiful, but i don’t have a crush on you. you’re a half-blood hufflepuff.” he snorts.

you knew it. there was no way malfoy could have a crush on you.

“that’s what i said.” you say plainly, allowing him to continue guiding you through the gardens in a simple dance.

“what’s that over there?” malfoy asks nodding his head in the direction of a tree.

you look over and see he’s talking about the treehouse lukas and you built your first year. you smile and look back to him, "would you like to see?"

"i guess.." he says, letting you go.

you lead him to the tree house and tell him to climb up, you follow suit.

inside sit a conglomeration of things lukas and you have collected over the years. there’s a badger plush toy, bean bags, a muggle radio with stickers covering it, a love letter a muggle boy wrote you fourth year, an empty bottle of whiskey, and a hufflepuff flag.

draco looks the place over and picks up the letter.

“what is this?” he asks, shit-eating grin covering his pale face.

“that is none of your business!” you say, grabbing the letter.

“no no, hand it back. i want to see.” he says.

you glare at him, “you’ll just make fun of me.”

“i swear i won’t make fun of you, now give it here.” he says, snatching it up.

he scoffs before looking back down to the letter.

he begins to read aloud, “my dearest y/n, i get very sad when you leave for school. i wish i could go with you. i miss seeing your pretty face all the time. the boys back home miss you too. when you get back i think we should all watch the rest of the star wars movies. josh’s dad got them all for christmas! i miss you so much. i think i like you a little too much now. the other day while i was in the shower i started thinking about your pretty eyes. and now, i’m certain they’re my favorite thing about you. i hope school is going well! i was sorry to hear about that guy that was making fun of you.. drago? don’t let him get to you. he probably doesn’t know how to talk to a pretty girl like you. some guys are insecure like that. oh and can you send those weird chocolates again? last thing, i remembered you liked my jumper i had on the last you saw me, so i sent it to you. i hope you’ll wear it! i cant wait to see you.” he finishes and looks over to you.

“drago? i assume that’s me.” he says.

“yes, draco.” you reply

“i wasn’t that mean to you fourth year.” he insists.

“oh, you were beyond mean. you were a complete git, malfoy.”

he laughs and places the note back in its place. turning to look at he the bean bags.

“what are those?” he quizzes.

“you sit in them, they’re called bean bags.” you relate.

he glances around the room once more before sighing.

“what now, malfoy?” you ask.

“i lied.” he declares.

you furrow your brows, “about what?”

“when i said i didn’t have a crush on you. i do. i like you. you’re... nice.” he admits.

“i’m nice?”

“well amongst other things, but i didn’t want to fuel your ego. salazar knows you have enough of that from hanging around avery.” he replies.

“i would like to say i as well have a crush on you, but i feel like this is some sort of prank you’re pulling on me with blaise and pansy.” you quip.

“it’s not a prank. i wouldn’t go this far for a prank. y/l/n, i’m in some stupid treehut you made back in first year just because i like you. i made sure zabini and parkinson didn’t annoy you or your bloody friend tonight. and i danced with you in a garden of flowers. i don’t know how much more obvious i can be.” he nags.

you raise your brows, “okay okay, i believe you. i like you too draco. you’re... unique.”

he rolls his eyes at your joke.

“seriously. you’re a sight to behold. you’re beautiful, charming when you want to be, intelligent, and you know what you want.” you smile.

he returns the gesture and relaxes.

“but you have to stop being a dick or else i won’t entertain you.” you say, firmly.

“i can do that.” he remarks.

you laugh and pull him toward you. his eyes scan your face before leaning in.

“no way. seriously no way.” you hear lukas guffaw.

you look behind you and see your friend and leo, eyes shooting out of their sockets.

“oh fuck off lukas.” you giggle, throwing the badger at him.

“i’ll leave, i just-,” he blinks rapidly while pointing at you and draco, “that was just unexpected.”

you roll your eyes and wait for him to be far away from the treehouse before you lean back into draco and kiss him.

it’s a delicate kiss, full of innocence. it makes you feel utterly weightless.

“i have to get back to my parents. i’ll write to you though. i hear the avery’s are throwing another party before school. i’d like to have you as my date.”

“your date? but what about your parents. they wouldn’t like that one bit.” you ask.

“i couldn’t care less. at least you’re not a bloody muggle.” he teases, earning a slap on the wrist from you.

“i really like you draco malfoy. don’t mess this up.” you say, watching him ascend down the ladder.

he looks up at you and smiles, “never.”

“...To accuse female screenwriters on a new show of being “deeply sexist” and “degrading hard working women” just because you are insulted by a benign joke is a bit much, even for someone who loves to play the victim. This is asymmetrical warfare Swift started this week and she knows it. Her army of Swifties — and just about every virtue-signaling celebrity on social media — is taking up rhetorical arms and now unfairly slagging Netflix and “Ginny & Georgia.”

And for Swift to try to frame all of this with “Women’s History Month” is disgraceful to every woman who has ever suffered real sexism and abuse. A line of dialogue that says, “You go through men faster than Taylor Swift” is not “slut-shaming” — it’s just basic math. You take the years and divide it by the doomed soul mates. Math.

I really think Swift needs to feud with someone or something the way the rest of us need oxygen. There is no other logical explanation. While forever claiming to be bullied, she’s often the one doing the bullying. One of the most powerful people in the world just lost her mind over a joke. Swift is an artist who presumably understands the value of creative expression. I doubt she’d want anyone to tell her what she can and can’t write. But here she is punching down and siccing her rabid fans on mostly unknown writers on a rookie show who merely turned her verifiable dating history into a silly one-liner. It’s like watching The Rock destroy a McDonald’s staffer because there weren’t enough pickles on his Big Mac...”

Taylor Swift Fans Attack ‘Ginny & Georgia’ Star Antonia Gentry with Racist Comments Amid “Sexist Joke” Controversy

Taylor Swift’s Trumpian attack on a Netflix show is the worst of American culture

Guess I will have to start watching Ginny and Georgia. I’ll be damned if Swift is allowed to bully the whole show off the air. I hope Shonda Rhimes never uses her music for any more upcoming Netflix projects, again.

#swear to god #Some of these female celebrities are not just useless but also harmful #The Privilege #When will people wake up about Taylor Swift?

more of me being thirsty over aias (warrior edition)

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SILHOUETTE OF THIS ARMOR???????? the skin-tight bodice with the asymmetrical exposed shoulder + the belts around the hips to accentuate the hourglass figure????? are you kidding me????? and LOOK how shapely the thighs are in this armor like i caaaaaaaaaant. Auri men already have the best thighs in the game yall cant be doing this to me

back view is also 😍😍😍 like.......... the way the tail threads through the blue rope on the belt.......... the way the right pauldron is ALSO just attached by like a single belt on the bicep......... THE FUCKING STRIP OF SKIN ON THE LEFT BICEP BETWEEN THE SLEEVE AND ANOTHER JUST????? BAND OF CLOTH???? THAT SERVES NO PURPOSE????? and of course who could forget that completely nonfunctional just????? blade?????? handing off the belt with chains?????? allow me to assure you that is NOT aias’s weapon bc warriors only use axes (and i have his weapon hidden so natch) that shit just there to draw attention to the way his hips rock like you cannot tell me otherwise

the visor is also EXTREMELY good (though theres obvs some clipping issues with his hair). love how it leaves the jaw exposed

alt hairstyle + angle so you can see more of the visor’s silhouette.......... it’s so good..........

look i know i showed the back before. but we need to go closer. are you looking where the arrow is pointing? yeah? CUZ THAT’S A WHOLE-ASS SHOULDER CUTOUT IN THE SLEEVE. like????? like????? this armor set is like an onion of tasteful horniness. you peel one back and there’s just. there’s somehow MORE. so, so much horny design in this.

and now the elephant in the room. WAS THE FUCKING METAL COLLAR REALLY NECESSARY?????? (the answer is yes) god and then the straps holding up the bodice like.......... you know that feeling teachers THINK teenage boys must feel seeing a girl’s exposed bra-strap? the one that doesnt actually exist? like primal horny at the sight of a strap on an exposed shoulder for no good reason? that’s me right now. i cant fucking deal with this. i cant. i cant. and then how the bodice dips just low enough to tease the titty without actually showing anything????? like????? LIKE?????? the fact you can also see aias’s big mass of cleavage scales peeking out from under the fur lining............. god........ THE PEEK OF THE UNDER-TITTY SCALES JUST UNDER THE ARM................... 

AND THE FACT THE GLOVES ARE FINGERLESS??????? there is so much to be horny for the more i keep looking at this set. its making me lose my fucking mind

this image does not look like the image of a man who is getting ready to go do battle. this is an image of a man displaying himself that he might get chosen to be fucking gangbanged for the good of the realm or whatever

Continued...

Tumblr is now allowing just 10 images per post which totally cramps my style. Moving on. All I will say about Miss Netherlands is that she must not have a friend in the world because a true friend would not have let her go out on stage in this dress.

She may have purchased at the same store as Miss South Africa who looks like she just stepped out of the Last Chance Saloon in Dodge City. Okay, that was too snarky - she's beautiful and the dress has potential. Lose the gloves, turn the skirt into a mermaid style with a waterfall of matching beading on the bottom third, and get some statement earrings. Or maybe just lower the slit so your undercarriage isn't getting as much ventilation. I'm no expert.

I'm starting to feel really guilty for critiquing these gorgeous women and their dresses. Just not guilty enough to stop. This was lovely, though it's just more of the nude illusion that I think has been overdone. I can see her white boobie shields and I don't want to analyze her crotch. The color is beautiful on her and the silhouette is elegant and almost has a Gatsby vibe. Those arm beads wouldn't work anywhere but on stage. Remember when we'd hang those in doorways?

I'm sure that this is all the rage in Singapore, but to paraphrase an old movie, "You'll put your eye out!" Beautiful color, beautiful skirt, if it had a smooth asymmetrical one-shoulder bodice and a diamante waistband I'd love it.

Miss USA- I actually loved so much about this gown. It just wasn't "WOW" enough to make it special. I cant even tell you what keeps it from being special. I love the marigold color, I love the elegant lines, I love the addition of the train, and she's beautiful in it. What's missing?

This is Miss Dominican Republic. I loved her. She had such beautiful stage presence (and she couldn't stop dancing when Luis Fonsi sang, so 5 stars in my book). Another gown that is beautiful, but just misses the mark. That odd fabric bunching on the bodice is kind of weird, and I think the muted gold is too close to her skin tone, she needed something more dramatic. If this had been a deep teal or even a rose she would have glowed. She was 4th runner up and I felt she deserved better.

This is Miss Mexico, who eventually won the crown. There was a lot going on but she wore it well.

I did notice that when she won that inconvenient cape/sleeve thing came off. She knew she'd be waving to the crowd.

I'm going to end this ridiculous post by sharing my least favorite and my most favorite dress of the evening. Least favorite, Miss Peru. Just stop it. You are stunning, you hit the genetic jackpot, but this is not the swimsuit competition. Your grandmother was probably horrified.

My favorite.

That's Cheyenne Kippenberger and she's Miss Indian World, from the Seminole tribe. The pageant was held in Florida in a facility on Seminole land and she was there to greet the women from around the world and share her culture with them. She was absolutely radiant. Seriously, watch this quick video and tell me that she wasn't the best queen there.

I'm sure critics will compare her normal sized body (what is she, maybe a 10?) to the Miss Universe standard of a size zero. She was still the most beautiful one there. She also seemed happier and more confident. Probably because she can eat burgers. I just loved her. That's it. I'm finished. I just realized that I didn't get to the food part of the original title. I meant to share a recipe that we're loving. I'll do that, just give me a few minutes to run down to the Glade P.O. and buy some stamps. I have cards to send out today and Mickey wiped out the last of my Xmas stamps. In May. I'll be back to share food this afternoon. Until then, stay safe, stay well, stay tuned! XOXO- Nancy

I think I'm just gonna walk off a ledge you know. Tired of this shit. My bones are gooey my joints dislocate pulling shit out of a dryer and closing a car door and I cant make anyone happy anymore and I'm stuck in pity party mode again but also... tired of evacuating myself out of the pity party all the time. You know? I'm analyzing everything I say and sometimes I say it before I think it at all and everything I say sounds stupid or empty or mean or annoying and I had a moment earlier today that I think I've been that way always because no one ever talked to me normal before ? Its a total lmfao because I know how to talk normal, like acting you know (rip I did seriously want to persue acting at one point. Thanks disabilities phh) but it feels so awful to do... going off a script is so insensitive and mean to me, so of course I never go off of a script... but now i can't read the script at all and i think I've come full circle to being just like my grandmother which is who i tried so hard to not be :( that's what kills me is I can take being flawed and annoying or even toxic but why did it have to be a carbon copy of someone who cut me so deep?

I'm having a little internalized identity crisis too which is worrisome because I dont have words for it even. :( usually those are only about me and me and greater world and me but I've noticed a really asymmetrical pattern where people who like me in any capacity feel drawn in by a part of me that always rotates and never comes back the same. Everybody has personas and facets of themselves but it never feels like that for me... everything feels like a movie for me and I'm playing so many different characters and each time I return to a role I have leftovers of the one I played before and it's wrong and the director and the audience keep telling me I'm doing something wrong 😔 they love one character and hate all the others and I cant play more than one at once and I have residue all over me from every role they hate... I'm never the main character in anything, and that's why it feels so hard is the main characters do hate it about me too :( everything is wrong and I cant do it. It's not the way the world is, but it's the way I see it, and I dont want to see it in a way that i don't. I feel trapped in this revolving gun of avatars a nb d i dong really know who i am anymore, or why people love and dislike me, i only know why they grow to dislike me after a time always and no idea where to go from there :( I've lost so many friends lately and it's been mostly because of that

𝕄𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕌𝕡♡

hello~! may i have a match up please :) for Attack on Titan, Haikyuu, and Blue Exorcist? Thank you guys in advance for your time and effort! 🤍 I am a female, straight, about 5'0, ISFP-T, my love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation, and I am somewhat tomboy (just not girly) and i’ve never tried makeup and i’m scared to. I have a loud voice but I am shy (only when i first meet, but once i am comfortable, I talk about anything and everything), I have a vv loud laugh that lowkey sounds like a hyena…I am always willing to try new things. I am very insecure about my stomach, so i don’t like showing it off. I have long black wavy hair that is about to my hips, I wear glasses and contacts, I own a lot of sweatshirts (but i can never have a enough hehe), i wear asymmetrical earrings, and i like baggy clothes. I have a little scar on my left eye from my sister, one on my forehead from running into a door, and I sprain my ankles probably at least once year. I get mad somewhat easily, but I cant stay mad for longer than an hour. When i am mad, i cry and my body language is very aggressive. I proctrastinate a lot, and in my free time i sleep (and I can sleep literally anywhere anytime) if not, i’m spending time with my family. (Family means so much to me) Anyways, I think that’s all…thank you again for your time 🤍 have a wonderful day/night!

»»————-　♡　————-««

Hello hello @woah-there-cowboy-or-cowgirl ~! You absolutely may have this match-up~! I do apologize it took so long to get out!

ᴀʀᴍɪɴ ᴀʀʟᴇʀᴛ

As someone who is quiet and timid in nature, I feel as though Armin is the best match for you! Despite his usually timid nature, he can be rather bold in those small rare occasions-- more so now after the amount of leadership positions he’s been put into. Though he isn’t the most prominent with his actions, Armin secretly loves physical touch. He actively seeks it out when he’s with you. Be it gently holding your hand or intertwining your pinkies, he’s appreciative of every little touch you’re able to give him.

Ever the knowledgeable person, Armin actively listens to what you say. Be it silly or serious, he makes sure to actively listen to your woes and passions. After all, to him, you’re his world. Despite not being the most bold or confident, Armin makes sure to remind and tell you daily that he loves you. Even if you try to counter with flaws, he’s always prepared to counter attack with his own honest bouts of love.

ꜱᴜɢᴀᴡᴀʀᴀ ᴋᴏᴜꜱʜɪ

The epitome of sugar and spice. Not only is he a gentlemen to you, he’s also easy to joke and tease around with. He likes to playfully joke around with you as he finds your laugh endearing in it’s own unique and special way. He’s the type who’ll remind you to grab lunch or the food that’s left on the counter for you. Besides that he’s also the type who enjoys your ramblings. He finds your gestures cute as you speak. 

As for your love language, Sugawara falls into completely. He adores being able to walk to you from class to class, and enjoys taking the chance to just hold your hand during your breaks between sessions. He adores giving you kisses to your forehead and will undoubtedly be the big spoon as you both cuddle to sleep.

ʀɪɴ ᴏᴋᴜᴍᴜʀᴀ

Playful and boyish to a fault, Rin is the one for you~! He may not be as bold as one would expect, but it is blatantly obvious how much he likes you as he tries to play off his feelings for you. He isn’t very confident in initiating physical touch, but he does use his tail to loosely wrap around your wrist when he’s feeling shy but affectionate. 

It’s behind closed doors that he’s more confident in his movements and forms of affection for you. Be it cooking your a meal to hugging you from behind as you go about your work. Rin loves to pitch in to your conversations, practically egging you on as you speak as he absolutely loves hearing your voice. Not only that, but he’s an absolute sucker for your laugh-- as silly as it may seem to you he absolutely lives to hear it at least once a day.

💖 Current special interest? 😂 Something funny about your special interest? 🏘️ What was your first special interest you can remember? 💕 What’s your fav thing about your special interest?

thank u so much jak i would die for u

💖 Current special interest?

Professor Layton!! or, like, actually, probably Des specifically if i'm being honest akfjjfjskfjsjdj

😂 Something funny about your special interest?

right, so, the 3D games, right. the models are in 3D. they were animated with motion capture. um, they are 3D sprites. you'd expect them to flip the animation when they're speaking on the other side of the screen, right? you can just flip the animation and not the whole model, so that models that are asymmetrical maintain some sort of consistency.

they did not do that. they flipped. the WHOLE model. AND IT MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME. EJRKEJFSKFJDNFJ

🏘️ What was your first special interest you can remember?

oh gods um........when i was like maybe 10 years old my friend made this story called Fantasy Fulfillment and one time we went on a field trip to St. Augustine for a few days and he spent the whole time telling me about it and i was SO invested in it it was all i cared about for like 2 years akfjsjfbsjbfjd i think thats the first time i can remember having a true special interest

💕 What’s your fav thing about your special interest?

UM!!! UM!!! I CANT PICK. UH. its not the puzzles thats for sure. AKDJSJDBSJ i just ummm OH the music. i love love LOVE the music in these games. the music is what really convinced me to check out the games themselves like...in a world where the music for pl wasnt good i wouldnt be a des kinnie even though i have all these fuckin mems from over the years EJRJSJFJDJDJDK

edit: point cancelled Randall Ascot is my favorite thing about pl

About Jurassic Park’s lack of feathers: (y’all this is long)

most dinosaur related media doesn’t have feathered dinosaurs and a lot of people blame Jurassic Park. dinosaurs are my special interest and Jurassic Park is a big part of that so ima prove them wrong. first off i wanna say haters get owned: 2011: NASA scientists said it was the 7th best SciFi movie and 2012: Popular Mechanics said it was the 6th accurate and “was faithful to early '90s speculative genetics theories”

anyways... lets get into it

Games (that i have lol):

Ark: Survival Evolved: 10/29 dinosaurs

Compsognathus,  Deinonychus, Gallimimus, Megalosaurus, Microraptor, Oviraptor, Raptor, Therizinosaur, Troodon, Yutyrannus (this dino was actually found with direct evidence of feathers!)

at first i had no idea what type of ‘raptor’ they were referring to, but i checked and its a Utahraptor. the largest-known individual of Utahraptor was about 7 meters (23 feet) long so size is a-okay with me

i debated including the Pegomastax because the wiki says it has fur and quills, which could be argued as protofeathers, but since its from the early Jurassic its hard to say.. just to be safe i left it out

i only looked at dinosaurs cause there are a ton of made-up/mythical creatures, prehistoric birds/reptiles, and just a straight up vulture

The Isle: 3/30 dinosaurs 

Therizinosaurus, Orodromeus (AI), Austroraptor 

none of these are playable in survival mode btw

also i’m not sure if the game is going for accuracy or not, Dilophosaurus and Velociraptor are the right size but still... no feathers on known feathered dinos: Velo, Rex, or Utahraptor

technically feathers have never been found on Utahraptors but there is strong evidence that all dromaeosaurids had them since Microraptor and Dakotaraptor had them

Jurassic World Evolution: 0/69 (nice) dinosaurs

based on the movies Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom, and eventually they added a Jurassic Park DLC. despite the Jurassic World movies not counting the Jurassic Park sequels (Lost World and JP3) as part of its time line, the Jurassic Park DLC includes skins from those movies. not much to say here... i’ll get into the movies further down

i didn’t count the pteranodon, cause its not a dinosaur and, still, no feathers

Saurian: 4/8 dinosaurs

Dakotaraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Acheroraptor, Ornithomimid

i’ve only included the dinos that are currently in-game, the wiki says they are planing to add another playable dino, Anzu (feathered), but so far it hasn’t even been added as an AI yet

they are actually going for scientific accuracy so all the dinos that should have feathers do and they are, as far as i can tell, realistically placed. Good Job!

games are hard to talk about... usually games that feature dinos will have an element of ‘fantasy’ (Ark especially) and JWE is based on the Jurassic World movies so its dinos can only look like the movies dinos. The Isle is most likely suffering from the status quo, most dinos in popular media look like big lizards so they didn’t want to take a risk. the game isn’t finished and its possible it’ll go from a dinosaur sim to a shooter, since there are human models in game and controls for weapons. i’ve also heard players rumor that you’re not actually playing as the dino but as a camera that follows it around (which would explain the nigh vision mode). chances are The Isle will end up like Ark: man vs dino

Movies:

i thought about discussing The Land Before Time movies (cause i was obsessed with them as a kid lol), but that was pre-Jurassic Park so i’ll give it an honorable mention. ANYWAYS... Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park: Lost World, Jurassic Park 3, Jurassic World, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. none of them have feathered dinos. lets look at why that might be 🤔

Jurassic Park:

no feathered dinosaurs. BUT, feathered dinosaurs were not very mainstream in the scientific community until about 3 years after the movie came out,

“Three years after the first Jurassic Park debuted, paleontologists announced that the small theropod Sinosauropteryx was covered in a fine coat of fuzzy protofeathers. This was just the initial drop in a flood of feathery dinosaur discoveries which confirmed that a wide variety of dinosaurs bore archaic forms of plumage, from simple filaments to asymmetrical feathers that would have allowed them to fly.”

[from this National Geographic article (x)]

looking more into the history of feathered dinos, i found well... a lot. its really difficult to find a concrete time for when paleontologists discovered (and agreed on) feathered dinos, some places say 1860, 1923, 1979, 1983, it goes on forever, one source even said 2001. Archaeopteryx, which an early Jurassic creature, had complex, bird-like feathers. so why no feathers on other dinosaur reconstructions? its possible these discoveries were ignored by the larger scientific community in favor of the well established depictions of big, slow lizards

[if u wanna do even more reading about feathers check out this All About Birds article (x) and the History of discovery section on the Archaeopteryx’s wiki (x)]

JP definitely upped the Velociraptor’s size and did my Dilophosaurus dirty, so i will fault them for that. the big ass raptor has stayed in pop culture for-fucking-ever. it feels like everyone is making naked Utahraptors and calling them Velociraptors. and g*d... my poor Dilophosaurus... why’d they make you spit? and why so small? you’re really 6-7 meters (20-23 feet) long! you are a large carnivore!! also it is possible that Dilophosaurus had feathers, though again, because its from the early Jurassic, it would have been more like a fur

Lost World:

no feathered dinosaurs. i cant really fault them for not changing the dinosaurs looks in a sequel, also trust me when i say it could have been worse the dino depictions in the book are insane... Chameleon Carnotaurus anyone?

the movie also didn’t explain why there were different dinos at Site B compared to the actual park. my best explanation is from the book: Site B was where the dinosaurs were actually hatched and raised, they were moved to the park just before they got to big to handle. so we are to assume that any non-Jurassic Park dinos we saw in Lost World were originally planned to be moved. sucks that they left this detail out of the movie adaptation, cause a lot of fans got confused (including me lol)

Jurassic Park 3:

no feathered dinosaurs. an incredibly mild attempt at ‘feathered’ raptors was made in JP3 by giving the males quills, but at that point the movies had an established ‘science’ and completely changing the look of the animals at the end of a trilogy might have confused a few people (even if it was more scientifically accurate)

Jurassic World:

no feathered dinosaurs. they literally stated in the movie that they left out accurate feathered dinosaurs because Dr. Wu was asked to create: “Dinosaurs that look like what the public expects dinosaurs to look like. Scary. Scaly. Wild.” Dr. Wu also states that the dinosaurs have never been actual dinosaurs. their DNA is a melting pot of DNA.

(i swear i read something about Dr. Wu attempting to make feathered dinos, but because of all the non-dino DNA he couldn’t get the genes to stick, i can’t find a source or any proof of this so i guess that can be our lil headcanon lol)

though for a more real life reason,

“The reasoning behind this being continued through the subsequent movies, though, is more about how imposing the featherless versions look.” ... “It seems more likely that the filmmakers went with how most people would perceive dinosaurs in the hopes that dino experts would take notice.”

[from this Screen Rant article (x)]

so basically JW cared more about scary, recognizable dinos than accurate ones

Fallen Kingdom:

no feathered dinosaurs. again a sequel is a bit too late to change up your designs. unfortunately the change had to happen in JW or not at all

In Closing:

basically Jurassic Park came out just before paleontologists announced Sinosauropteryx, which popularized feathered dinos. even then Jurassic Park was restricted by the technology of the time. the early ninety’s was not the best time for CGI and i can’t imaging making feathered animatronic dinosaurs that could stand up to the rain they filmed in. new media is definitely stuck in the past, look at the movies that come out and compare how many are sequels or prequels or remakes or whatever. Jurassic Park was a great movie and obviously the vultures that make movies are gonna try and ride its brand into the sunset. blaming the movie for stopping new scientific discoveries from entering the mainstream isn’t fair. the movie did a lot to bring current science into the lime light, it popularized warmblooded, avian dinos and showed them as intelligent, fast moving animals instead of slow movie monsters

but JW had no excuse!  they should get majority of the blame for making the public afraid of feathers cause they themselves were afraid of feathers! they had the technology, the budget, and the opportunity to follow in its parent movie’s footsteps. they could have at least TRIED to be accurate but they just stuck to what people knew cause that was more profitable. science is only as interesting as the toys you can make of it i guess...

a final note, just for my sanity: JP dinos aren’t real dinosaurs. not even in fiction. they’re DNA is so full of garbage that their inaccurate appearances could be explained away with that alone. the books get into this more, talking about all the failed embryos and how many diseases these creatures had. even delving into their lack of social skills and how the raptors didn’t act like a pack, but a group of aggressive individuals. unfortunately the average viewer isn’t gonna know about all this set dressing. hell, i didn’t even read the 2 books until recently (end of 2019/ start of 2020) so i was as ready to believe whatever the movies showed me. honestly the books and movies are all good in different ways, not accurate, but good. read the books if you want more gore and technical explanations and the movies if you want, well... more story, they add a lot of stuff that wasn’t in the books

one day i’ll get into the differences in the books and movies.. one day

Why The Matrix sequels work

Like the majority, I was not a fan of The Matrix sequels, but as time moved and as my mind matured, I’ve grown to appreciate them. Over time, like the Star Wars Prequels I grew to love the Matrix sequels. So this is me explaining why The Matrix sequels work. There are issues I have, but these are pretty much me defending the sequels.

Neo isn't the One because he is chosen. He is One because he chooses to be. Neo wasn't the One because of fate. He was the One because he believed he could. Like Morpheus, he just does it. There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path. So whoever you are, just walk. Live it right now, and don't question how real or plausible it is. Don't do it because it'll be good for you or them, or even because you need it. Do it because you can. Know that you can.You don't have to be the One to do it. You just have to be the one to DO IT.

Neo’s ability to use his powers outside The Matrix.

Neo's visit to the source gave him a connection to that place that no other has ever had. The Ones before him all recycled their code back into the matrix once they left that room, but Neo went back into the matrix and exited into the real world. Instead of recycling that code it remained in him, and as Agent Smith/Bane has proves, it is possible to bring code from the matrix into the real world.

This left him with a lingering connection, think of it like a subconscious wifi signal into the matrix and thus the machine world even once he unplugged, so he was able to sense machines and exert control over them. Note he never flies in the real world or performs at the superhuman levels we see in the matrix, his only "power" in the real world is directly related to sensing and controlling machines.

Agent Smith never had such a connection. All he did was force his code into the mind of a human to overtake the body, he had no special powers outside of the matrix.

The Merovingian

He is an old program, from a much older version of The Matrix. He supposedly helped create the "Nightmare" version along with The Architect. When that failed, he saved much of the programs of that version as his henchmen (that's why they have special abilities, like The Twins and the guards that can reverse gravity, and some are much harder to kill, for instance with silver bullets). Plus his overacting and arrogance are just a joy to see. 

The Energy problem.

The Machines use humans for power. That is obviously not the only energy source since The Architect clearly states that there are other ways. In a way The Wachowskis have recognised this flaw. In the first draft the Machines used humans for their processing power (sort of like a giant server), not energy. But they weren't sure people would believe it so they changed it in the end.

Zion.

Zion is the last human civilization, yet the humans need the machines to keep it running as the machines need them to survive.  The irony that they need each other is poetic. The rave scene and the whole bunch of extras being focused on were annoying but it’s important to see humans thriving in the last human civilization. Zion was built by the machines when the 3rd iteration of the Matrix was written because the machines knew that 1% would refuse the program. This place had to give the illusion of being "free". Although Zion is NOT a computer program, the truth is, every aspect of Zion is under COMPLETE control of the machines. Every time The One reaches The Architect, the machines are attacking Zion. As soon as the anomaly walks through the door to the right (except Neo), the machines retreat and the attack is over, then the machines repair Zion of the damage it took from the attack. The efficiency the Architect is referring to is the machines finding more efficient ways of reaching and attacking Zion along with causing less damage to Zion every time; hence, less repair work. This attack is staged to motivate the anomaly to 1) "save the world" 2) choose the door to the right which will reinsert the prime program and reboot the Matrix program. Next, the anomaly chooses the 23 people from the Matrix to rebuild Zion. The 23 people have their memories erased and are programmed to believe whatever the machines choose for them to believe. There is a theory that Zion is just a part of The Matrix and that just honestly makes everything pointless. There is a cycle, The One chooses to save Zion every time, it’s only when Neo saves Trinity that there is a chance to truly save Zion. If Zion were another computer program, EVERY aspect of what the Wachowski 's are trying to tell us in this incredible story would be COMPLETELY irrelevant. A major theme in the trilogy was Neo's cause. If the entire trilogy took place in a program (dream-within-a-dream), there was no message told.  It's not like the thinking of a machine to take someone who has figured out that their entire life has been a lie, a complete fabrication, and put them into another simulated life. The Wachowski’s are screaming to us that the place where Zion rests, near the earths core, is non-machine built. Everything about the Matrix is symmetrical and full of grids....it's constructed of 1's and 0's. Any scene in the Matrix reveals symmetry. It's digital...it's a program. Zion, on the other hand, is the COMPLETE opposite. Their is nothing symmetric about it. The shapes and textures of Zion are a language the machines cant understand. The natural parts of Zion look as asymmetrical and non-digital as possible....very intentionally done by the Wachowski’s. The steel doors and other various steel parts in Zion reveal at least 500-1000 years of erosion. It's been used for all 5 previous anomalies. If it were a program, don't you think the machines would eliminate any evidence that their bullshit story that they fed the 23 people was false? Yes, they would. But they cant, because Zion is not a computer program. The only thing the machines can rely on for the people of Zion not to figure out that they are not the first people there is...."Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness"  

The nature of Agent Smith

Smith is Neo's opposite. He's determinism, Neo is choice. Smith is the many, Neo is The One. Light and Dark. The two faces of the same coin. He became a rogue agent, in an unexpected way when part of Neo's code overwrote a part of his, unplugging him from the system. He began replicating at an alarming rate and he was too powerful to simply be deleted. Something that I love about Smith in the sequels, he became the very thing he hated. “You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.” Smith becomes the very thing he viewed humans to be. A virus.  A virus that only survives by infecting others. Assimilating everyone in The Matrix and dangerous enough to infect all machines. Smith became the very virus he hated and I think that is poetic and beautiful.

The Architect

An explanation to this scene.

Before the current version of the Matrix, the machines created other versions. The first was a “Perfect World Scenario” where everybody was happy and life was good. Human psyche could not handle this overload of perfection and rejected the program. People couldn’t believe it was real. The second Matrix was a “Nightmare Scenario”, wars raged so as to appease the sadistic nature of humanity. This was also a failure because people couldn’t accept it.

The solution was found by The Oracle. She concluded, that if people were given a choice to accept or reject the Matrix (even if they weren’t aware they were being given that choice), they would overwhelmingly accept the program anyway.

Of course that this acceptance was not universal. A small number of people would still reject the Matrix. If left unchecked in the system, these people behaved like a virus, making other people aware that they lived in a fake world, destabilizing the whole system. They had to be removed. That’s why The Architect allowed Zion to survive, to preserve the Matrix and to remove the people that were aware that they were inside a program. But this in turn created the problem of controlling Zion.

If left unchecked, the city would eventually grow too powerful. For that purpose, the Architect and The Oracle created the concept of The One. Every time Zion grew too big (around 250.000 people I think), The One would be born. The One carried an important part of code from the Matrix (the Prime Program) that gave him a greater form of control over the Matrix (aka Neo’s Powers).

He was supposed to be guided by The Oracle to meet The Architect, reinserting the Prime Program he carried, thereby rebooting the Matrix. After the destruction of Zion, The One would create a new Zion with a select few people on the Matrix. After his death, The Oracle would begin to spread the prophecy of his return, perpetuating the cycle.

Oracle and Agent Smith

"The phrase "You would know, Mom" is quite possibly the most important part of all 3 movies. Smith admits here that the Oracle has created him. Remember she tells Neo that the agents try to balance the equation, she is trying to unbalance it. Smith is that unbalance. The Oracle knew that by creating the Smith program, (An agent with human emotions) and making him realize that he would never be free from his program world, he would unbalance the equation and eventually cause the humans and the machines to come together as one to defeat him. The architect did not want this. He figured that if Neo went into the source, the equation would balance itself out, Smith could be repaired, and the machines could stay in rule. But Neo knew better. He knew the only way to save Zion would be to fight Smith. The Oracle knew that Smith had to take her. She would finish unbalancing the equation by reminding Neo that "Everything has a beginning, and an end." It was okay to stop fighting. It was okay to give in. Because Smith had taken over everything, he had become the source of the Matrix. When Neo was taken over, he entered the source allowing the machines to destroy the virus. Thus, the Oracle solved two problems with the Matrix. 1, she finally found the peace that both sides of the war wanted and 2, she finally tamed the Architect who vowed to release the humans again. Without Smith, peace would have never come. Without the Oracle creating Smith, peace would have never come."

The Machines.

If you watch the Animatrix, you will know that the Machines are not evil.  The machines are the good guys in the story.

They tried everything to achieve peaceful co-existence with humans. The humans would have none of it and destroyed the surface of the earth.

Faced with the extinction of themselves, their creators, or both, the machines chose to domesticate humans instead of wiping them out.

The matrix is basically an elaborate zoo that keeps the dangerous animals from getting loose and forcing another total war that can’t be avoided otherwise.

The machines have only wanted peace since the very beginning.

They even tried to make the Matrix a utopia for the humans. We just couldn’t quite accept it, so they had to make it shittier to stop violating our suspension of disbelief. But as the Architect explains the human mind simply wouldn’t accept utopia due to the “grotesqueries of our nature”.

And the machines have no incentive to kill off humanity since they need us alive for energy. Which also means they can’t let humanity destroy itself through a thermonuclear war due to the “grotesqueries of our nature”, something humanity might do.

the machines in The Matrix are surprisingly benevolent caretakers.

“The Dangerous game”

Neo and Smith were apart of The Oracle’s plan to bring about peace. Smith  wasn't anomalous until imprinted by Neo. Some version of him had been allowed to play out in all versions of the "one paradigm" of the matrix. The Virus known as Smith had never been allowed to progress as far as he did in the 6th version of the one paradigm. Which is what makes it unique as well as a bargaining chip for peace among the two species. The architect had dealt with the ones prior to Neo, but never needed them. Once Smith assimilated all inhabitants of the matrix, a direct conduit through Neo was the last option the machines had. The Oracle giving Neo Trinity, which ensures he wouldn't accept the first offer to return to the source guarantees a version of Smith no machine had ever witnessed. This is the dangerous game the Architect refers to and the end of revolutions. Neo giving himself to Smith was his choice and he chose to free everyone. Not just the humans in The Matrix, but the programs within The Matrix. It makes everyone thanking Neo work. Neo’s sacrifice in the end is beautiful.
