#iirc iron?

[sweater-equestrian]

god ren faire takes so much out of me (as in, it gave me a stress migraine by the end of the day and i am now very sore and tired the day after), but it is The Best. I am still so hyped about being sold a sword BY A KNIGHT last year. Like, are you kidding????

#like its so magical you guys! how many people can say a knight sold them a sword? its the best #easily one of my prized possessions i really need to learn some sword play so I can mock sword fight #id love to get larp weapons too so i can learn the basics and spar a friend safely while #learning and then like. work up to using my metal stage combat one i have from the knight #like the metal one IS safe but it would still hurt if i hit someone with it yanno #like im not cutting anything but i COULD bludgeon someone #because. its a long metal object thats very strong and durable #iirc iron? #maybe steel. maybe. #i dont know my metals very well lol #god i just need to dress up as a cool swords woman fr fr.

The tragedy of the Iron Bull learning more about druidic magic, and he inevitably finds out that, no, Halsin cannot wild shape into a dragon.

#bluerose shitposts #halsin patting him on the back all like “there there” while highly amused #the internet's solution from what i saw was true polymorph iirc #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #dragon age #dai #the iron bull #halsin #ironbear #crossover #bluerose rambles

reminder that if you're not watching Crayon Shin-chan then you are living a hollow and empty life. this is not edited. this ripped straight from the movie (Movie 8: Jungle That Invites the Storm, highly recommend for fellow Masaaki Yuasa lovers)

if you need further convincing: these monkeys run an animation sweatshop

#i've made this disclaimer on another post but will again since i've seen a lot more of the movies now #the movies are VERY good and very enjoyable but unfortunately the first handful are bogged down by transphobic/homophobic/okama stereotypes #they kind of vary in their severity. Movie 5 i think is the biggest catalyst because it features the stereotyped characters the most #prominently. Movie 3 doesnt really have caricatures per se but saves a very backhanded reveal for the end #Movies 1 and 4 are a bit more tolerable if my memory is correct. Movie 2 i think is kind of comparable to Movie 5 with its caricatures #in that the characters have similar roles in both movies #i admittedly can't remember what caricatures there were in Movie 6 or 7. 7 i think barely had anything #RAMBLE RAMBLE BASICALLY: these jokes are within the first 7 movies or so 5 being the zenith then reducing down and down. by movie 8 it's sa #e #i give these disclaimers because these movies are all very enjoyable and i would not recommend them if i didnt think there wasnt any merit #o them. they are all very much worth watching. Movie 5 still has a lot of very enjoyable stuff in it (there's a showdown in a supermarket!! #but i just want to make sure that is clear and established since transparency is good to have and i dont want anyone's viewing experience t #be ruined because they weren't given the proper warning #if it's any consolation it's my understanding that even the directors hated doing the jokes #iirc Keiichi Hara really didn't like doing the jokes and i think had a talk with the mangaka Yoshito Usui and was like 'uh dude this is #gonna age horribly can we maybe not' #ironically Hara's first film is Movie 5. which is again the biggest offender #BUT! that is my spiel. my understanding is that it's contained to those 6 or 7 first movies and i think is strictly just a movie thing #so please do give these films a watch but just be mindful at the same time #if anyone needs recommendations my favorites have been movies 4 and 9 but i genuinely really enjoyed every one that i have seen #i've seen the first 11 and a half movies (need to finish 12) and movie 22. the worst i've felt about one is 'oh that was pretty good!' #each film has its own merit and is very very very much worth watching #22 was the first Shin-chan anything i watched and all my Shin-chan expert friends say 4 is a good introductory piece #in case that influences anything/makes it easier to break in #so. thus concludes my spiel #csc #vid

Seeing a lot of arthurlot (sonadow) stuff which is many levels of ironic if you've read authurian legends.

I would love to explore some more historically poetic themes with that, if I get the hankering to. Especially since I feel like a lot of themes of brotherhood and comradery in these legends fits the more queerplatonic/abnormal bond between Sonic and Shadow? Provides a great backdrop for a more in-character sonadow interaction imo.

#sth #sonic #sonadow #authurian legend #arthurlot #sonic and the black knight #nox talks #but like seriously in most versions Arthur's wife gets kidnapped and Lancelot saves her #and they proceed to become lovers #in one version Arthur executes them both for it iirc #“courtley love” themes are interesting #also ironic because sonic doesnt entirely fit themes of king arthur so he's an odd duck #i feel like he lowkey fits gawain better but thats just me

dazai with ocean imagery my beloved,,,, his ability hitting like a cold ocean wave, his voice as lulling as the sea at night, his eyes as inviting as the sparkling ocean waters at sunrise, he's as unforgiving as the stormy seas, his soul as broken and struggling as the earth's polluted waters yet still managing to hold life,,,,

#this started out as an ironic thing bc his irl author tried suicide by drowning in the ocean (this one failed but killed the lover iirc) #but then i fell in love with the idea of dazai and the ocean its all i ever think abt when writing him #i love writing him with ocean metaphors and similes and shit i love it so much #hes a double edged sword sometimes hes lovely sometimes hes terrifying/sad #bsd dazai #dazai osamu #osamu dazai

sorry to post a negative wof thing but sometimes i remember the “morrowseer is moonwatcher’s dad but no one knows or cares, its just this quirky trivia thing” bit and get irrationally frustrated. like if you didnt have any ideas on what to do with that tui then you couldve just. not done it.

#it literally makes no sense why she shouldnt know beyond ‘’some stray thoughts her mom accidentally let out’’ either #like ok iirc secretkeeper was barring her own mind from her. however she did that #but youre telling me that No One Else ever thought about morrowseer and his crimes #none of the nightwings none of the rainwings no one ever thinks about the queens right hand man #who orchestrated crimes against dragonkind and ruined so many lives or was a hero to some of them #no ones ever spared that guy a second thought? #or like- did no one know secretkeeper was morrowseers wife? did no one connect the dots that her secret baby was probably morrowseers secret #secret baby? its not like no one knew she was pregnant with his kid right??? #NO ONE that ever looked at moon and directed hostile thoughts abt her that affected her self worth ever went ‘’oh shes morrowseers baby #of course SHE was spared our same trauma’’ #NO ONE HAS THOUGHT ABOUT HIS CRIMES???? NOT A SINGLE ONE??? #wouldnt this contribute to her mistreatment and anxiety since he used his supposed power to hurt and manipulate people?? #but…. no tee hee its this silly little bit of trivia we wont delve into #like. again…. you didnt HAVE to make morrowseer her dad!! #like it comes across like tui came up with the idea of having the new protag be related to the previous antagonist and thought it was cool #but then didnt have any real ideas beyond that so she just made it this weird unspoken ironic fact? #like…. no i dont think its this ironic scene that she finds his literal corpse in the volcano and doesnt know its him #and doesnt seem that horrified by it #she should see that and feel incredibly complicated and disgusted feelings

I dunno where some people seem to have gotten the idea that Kenji doesn't like/care for Rio or smth because like. have ya'll actually gone through her social link???

like,,,

and it's at this point Rio's teammates and Yuko run and yell at him, Kenji panics and then runs off. When Yuko grumbles about Kenji comparing Rio to a bowl of ramen, Rio says this:

Ramen is his favourite thing in the world.

Kenji telling Rio he likes her "about as much as ramen" means that he likes about as much as his favourite thing in the world.

I think people also seem not to understand how things seem from Kenji's perspective.

To him, his childhood friend comes up to him and suddenly asks what he thinks of her, if he likes and how much which. is kind of a random thing to suddenly ask your friend that you've known since you were kids??? assuming they were like 5 or 6 when they met, that's basically a whole ass decade? Like it's clear in the way he speaks that he's confused and honestly I would be too???

Another thing to consider is that he and Rio where alone, Kenji likely said it the way he did bc he knew Rio, his childhood friend, would understand what he meant.

Like, I can get that he can sometimes come off as dense or insensitive but tbh I think he's just bad a picking up social cues? (oh he's just likely me for real- what do you mean i'm projecting?).

Like yeah sure Kenji very likely only sees her in a platonic sense (sorry Rio my heart goes out to you honey) but to outright assume he doesn't care about her is. raaggh.

(side note: in reload there's a dialogue from Kenji during the koromaru walks where he says "I mean, I keep telling them that we're just childhood friends, but they won't stop prying about it." and it is very likely he's talking about Rio bc this is 100% "my parents keep asking me if i'm dating my childhood friend that is also a girl" talk. Plus Kenji doesn't seem to be that close to many people so. interesting piece of info though ngl so I thought i'd mention it.)

#mar kenji posting #persona 3 #kenji tomochika #rio iwasaki #the love is one sided in canon but i can dream.... #also people assuming bc kenji states he finds older women attractive means he'll never like Rio- I don't #like what #first of all the end of kenji's SL he admits he might have been into the idea of being with someone older than him and not actually for rea #and like iirc he shows some interest in girls his age just maybe not as much you know? #hi yes I like kenji a normal amount can you tell.... #i'm normal i swear #also real talk I find it real ironic that nobody ships them despite the fact rio has a crush on kenji? #like yeah its one sided but i have very much seen that not stop shippers (myself included) #which leads me to believe it's like bc a lot of people don't like kenji so shipping him with someone seems blegh #hi if you've read of all these tags i hope you have/had a nice day :D

Impulse (1995) #40

William Messner-Loebs really didn't pull any punches on this line.

#orla reads impulse #ironically loebs as of last year was having an exceedingly hard time due to capitalism as a senior citizen and was facing eviction #there was a gofundme for him that met its goal thankfully but i am not sure what update came from his financial insecurity #it is a very sad reminder that even beloved writers for dc are not guaranteed anything no matter how successful they were #dc is publishing a hardcover print of his run iirc but i am not sure if he is getting paid a dime from it

i wish there was some sort of official alternate reality thing where we see what sonic would’ve been like had he stuck with his prototype rabbit design, though i guess the superstars skin is a good start

i remember when the earliest details for sonic prime were starting to come out people thought it was gonna be like a dimension hopping sort of show where we visit a bunch of alternate universes that already existed rather than the stuff with the paradox prism. anyway i think if we had gotten that version of the show instead then a universe where everyone is in their beta design would have been really fun to see

#i know a lot of characters had different names or species in their earliest designs #like iirc rouge was called nails cream was a raccoon or a red panda or something shadow was named terios #i think i remember hearing that knuckles was a dinosaur and silver was a mink named venice but im too lazy to check if im right #well i know im right about silvers name but idk for certain about the species #actually the thing of the games/shows trying to convince us that sonic and shadow look alike would have been 10 times funnier #in this potential alternate universe where theyre not even the same species #ironically shadows earlier design actually looks much similar to sonic than the final design does #asks

Jade, genuinely: hey sometimes i forget im not jewish and get worried i ate something thats not kosher :(( did i do an anti-semetic?

appreciate that the courier is (possibly; i know this is up to interpretation) a wastelander obviously but i feel like more of the tragedy of benny to me is that the acts he commits in fnv are imo intended as a fight against the assimilation of his people and their adherence to pre war aesthetics. carrying forward without him in the independent route is so. :/ . like. in order to get out from under house's thumb benny put everything on the line and went against tradition (which imo really was not a decision he made lightly at all, and i really don't think it was genuinely a selfish one, no matter how he styles himself).

#ooc. #i might adjust my thoughts as i replay the game and redo the independent route but like. holding him close. #also will reread the comic because iirc there is a lot of insight into his history there that i remember only impressionistically rn. #independent route is so bittersweet like obviously it's The Choice. #but what it means to benny #(and also for that matter arcade - this post is not about him but i do think about his independent vegas ending slides a lot) #man. #i'm really supposed to be working sjdfhskf help #but people are here and making so much noise that recording feels pointless #assimilation / #ask to tag #i think i won't put this in his official tag because i'm going to like. actually iron it out properly when i have time to revisit #those aspects of canon #but. thinks about benny on a loop forever

I first learned the word "bogus" from Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl, in which Danny warns us that if somebody smiles with their mouth but the look in their eyes doesn't change, "it's sure to be bogus." In some editions (I'm not sure if this is a US/UK thing or an updating thing) the word is replaced with "phoney," which I find less satisfying. There are just a few words where I can specifically remember what or who I learned them from; "bogus" is one and "brittle" is another (my mother explaining why I might not be able to keep the little plastic cocktail animal* that was on the rim of my milkshake glass at a restaurant forever)

In both cases, I think I initially thought of the word as just having that extremely specific meaning (the falsity of a smile that doesn't reach the eyes, the fragility of thin inflexible plastic), didn't encounter it again for some time, and when it came up again in a different context I was like "What are you doing here?"

*twas a donkey

#and obviously I learned soporific from beatrix potter didn't everyone #danny the champion of the world is a relatively underrated dahl book #i really love it #it was one of the first three chapter books I read in my life #(they were charlie and the chocolate factory‚ danny the champion of the world and the saturdays by elizabeth enright) #it has a father who calls his son 'my marvellous darling' #it has a chapter where a nine-year-old boy has to drive a car alone at night which had me on the edge of my seat #even without fully understanding the difficulty of what he was trying to do #there's a movie of it with jeremy irons and iirc his real life son as danny #it has a fire balloon and fun facts about insects and cox's orange pippins #it starts with a photo of the narrator as a baby #every other picture in the book is an illustration #I could go on #I really should read it to my little nephew he's the right age to love it #it's a bit of an outlier because it doesn't have any magic in it #no talking animals or psychic powers or marvellous medicine or oompa-loompas #just a boy and his dad
