so i was thinking about how Howdy has eight legs bc he's a caterpillar - those have lots of legs. but butterflies? they only have six

imagine he comes out of his chrysalis and he's down two limbs. mf would have to relearn how to Walk

#i had this realization and Lunged for my tablet #caterpillars when they're in the soup: you know what? these are unnecessary *discards limbs* #and yes i know i know Technically caterpillars have six true legs and four prolegs yes yes #However they still kinda count and i like to have fun #he'd wake up and have a total httyd1 hiccup moment #*lifts blanket* Ohhhhhhhh fuck where's the other two #lmaoooo later frank hands him a bottle full of leftover Caterpillar Soup like 'here they are... sorry...' #i gave him cute stripey pj pants bc i caaaaaaan <3 #scribble salad #yassified howdy <3 #i feel so bad for him... #he tries so hard not to pupate and then not only Does He but he winds up with only two legs. poor guy! #not sure if i wanna stick with this for yass!howdy tho! i so do love his four legs...

why is the decision of whether or not to reveal your main to someone you mainly interact w/ on a sideblog by following them so stressful

#pj talks #me sitting over here like what if they don't like my main #something something cringe culture is dead technically but it still survives a little bit in my head but i don't WANT IT TO #and also i should trust in ppl to unfollow me if they want to for whatever reason #crumples over #there's also the possiblity of just changing my main to hide my sideblog but i can't do that to haruichi.... #then again maybe some ppl don't read my intro post and think i'm at least one of many (few) haruichi fans #ignoring that i was one of the few ppl posting about him constantly on tubmrl #wait no what am i saying i'm like 50% of the search results for him #closes my eyes i will have faith in people's choice to follow or unfollow me

I think I’ve just realized something about the gods on Empires...

S1 Lizzie and S2 Joel were both human before their godly transformation

But when S1 Lizzie ate the Ocean Orb, and when S2 Joel jumped into the Fountain of Strength, their true godly selves were revealed

S1 Lizzie and S2 Joel both also have memory issues where they have trouble remembering their past and the people they knew (Lizzie didn’t remember that Jimmy was her seabling, and Joel can hardly remember the names and faces of the other past gods)

In the case of S1 Lizzie, the Book of Prophecies said that if she were to ever leave the ocean, she would lose her memories and forget herself, which had already happened before when she left Jimmy to investigate the salmon invasion

Now Joel doesn’t have a Book of Prophecies or anything that would say he will forget himself if he ever left the sky, but if we were to assume that something similar does happen to him when he leaves the sky... makes you wonder how and why he ended up on land as a human in the first place

It also makes you wonder, if this is the same with the other gods? That they would forget themselves once they leave their domain, and only with the aid of an ancient magical item will they be able to return to their original godly form, however they will still be unable to completely remember their past?

And what about Pearl and Bdubs? Are they even actual gods? If they are, did they forget too because they left their domains and haven’t found yet the item that will reveal their true selves? Did something happen to the other past gods that caused them to leave their domains and forget themselves too? Is this why Joel seems to believe they’re all dead and that he’s the last one left? 

Well we can’t say for sure, I believe this was just a coincidence after all, but it’s a great coincidence that adds more lore and theories to the mysterious gods of the server and what happened to them

I also have been frothing over the spa center comment.

…would love to hear your pj shade regarding Elrond and Rivendell pretty please though?

I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

okay so...regarding PJ shade............where the hell do I even begin.

I wanna preface this by saying that I do love the films. Like they're my childhood. They have a very special place in my heart and they remain my favorite films of all time. I also really love Hugo!Rond -- like I should think that's obvious considering my art and characterization are so largely based off of Hugo's portrayal, but that being said the films really did Elrond so dirty and I'll never forgive PJ for some of the choices he made and the things he chose to leave out -- not only because they hurt Elrond's characterization, but because they hurt all lot of other plotlines and characters as well.

So let's just start with the most egregious issue, which is by-and-large a directorial issue and not necessarily a script or acting issue: Elrond is kind as summer. And while we see that peeking through in certain moments (enough that those of us with daddy issues and/or a precursory knowledge of the character latched onto them...), this doesn't define Peter Jackson's Elrond. Peter Jackson's Elrond is cranky and tired and while that is a fundamentally interesting characterization, it isn't Tolkien's. Tolkien's Elrond isn't like this. He laughs with Bilbo! He tries to stop Pippin from going on the quest (but allows it in the end). He offers friendship to Thorin and hospitality to literally everyone. He carries his harp around with him and offers little tidbits about himself (I was the herald of Gil-Galad and marched with his host...). Elrond on the page just exudes warmth and generosity. Maybe he's tired & worn out and maybe he has lost a bit of hope by the time we get to the Third Age. Maybe. But that certainly isn't a defining trait. Tolkien's Elrond enthusiastically supported Aragorn (vs. Men? Men are weak. Etc. Etc. Etc.) -- there are just so many weird choices that were made in line delivery and energy that are directorial choices for the story which PJ wanted to tell. Hugo Weaving is completely capable of carrying the right energy when directed to! It's not a Hugo problem! We see him teasing Bilbo a bit in Unexpected Journey and being kinda snarky with Thorin and having some playful energy there. It's that Peter Jackson decided that wasn't how he wanted to portray Elrond. And so we end up with this weird stiff character that doesn't look anything like Tolkien's Elrond unless you squint and do a lot of mental gymnastics (which I constantly do).

And the thing is, I would like to give the portrayal the benefit of the doubt and say 'well it really isn't THAT bad', because I look at it through the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia and my own love for my blorbo. But people who are casual watchers of the films, or people who are getting introduced to story for the first time (I've had the joy of getting to introduce a lot of people to the films, and have seen a lot of first reactions on Youtube) -- the knee jerk reaction to Peter Jackson's Elrond is what's his problem? if you don't have the context. And that makes me really sad.

And I really do have to put it down to Peter Jackson wanted to tell a certain story. Because it isn't hard to fix this. Most of the lines are fine. You just have to tell Hugo to exude a different kind of energy in them. That scene in the extended edition with Elrond and Aragorn at Gilraen's memorial is awesome, but you never get the sense that Elrond raised Aragorn. There's no warmth to that scene. And that comes down to direction. Viggo and Hugo are amazing actors. If you told them "hey, you guys have a father-son relationship and you're reminiscing over someone that you both cared about" then they could have played it that way and it would have been so good. But you never get that sense.

That comes down to the weird completely contrived conflict Peter Jackson wanted of "Elrond as the antagonist to Beren & Luthien II electric boogaloo" -- which is...such a strange decision. Why make him Thingol 2.0? It's literally just an extra contrived plot point for added conflict and it isn't like we needed it. The films are three hours long each. Aragorn and Arwen didn't need an antagonist to their love story. It's lazy characterization and lazy storytelling and lazy direction. Again, Hugo Weaving is an excellent actor. Masterclass, in fact. And I understand the thought process of "he's afraid to lose his daughter" and I think that's really tasty characterization! I love playing with that characterization! But there is a way to direct and write that without making him an antagonist. You don't even need lines to show that. Maybe just one. Maybe two. But to be honest all you need is a LOT of strong acting on Hugo's part to show the internal conflict as Elrond is outwardly supporting the two of them because he wants them to be happy!

And then there's the uh...nerfing of Elrond.

To be fair, Elrond really is background on purpose in LOTR. He chooses to be a guide. He chooses to be the Dad Everyone Goes To rather than The Big Damn Hero, and that's awesome. That's why I love him! But again there are just the teeniest tiniest changes that could have been made to fix the fact that he's heavily nerfed. SWEET, so "thanks to the skills of Lord Elrond you are beginning to mend!" -- hey can we just, add a bit more weight to the fact that Elrond needed to use Vilya to do that and it pretty much sapped all of his strength? Can we add a bit more weight to how LONG that surgery took and the fact that NO ONE ELSE could have saved Frodo from a Morgul Blade. How about instead of "he needs Elvish medicine", say "we have to get him to Elrond" -- like, I know Arwen says this, but it just takes a few edits to make it abudantly clear that this has less to do with Elves in general and more to do with rings of power.

And then we get to the fjord with the Ringwraiths. I'm not one of those people who is mad that they gave the chase to Arwen rather than Glorfindel. I understand why that decision was made. Do I miss Glorfindel? Hell yeah! But I understand why that decision was made. I just wish that Peter Jackson hadn't also given Arwen the "call the river in fury" superpower. Why not have Elrond be the one to do that? Girlpower, sure. But Arwen's cool enough for having the chase scene against all nine nazgul. Let Elrond have his moment. It takes like one 50% opacity overlay edit to show us he's the one doing it. And this isn't even an Elrond issue so much as a nerfing the worldbuilding issue. We hear about the Three Rings in the prologue and then Peter Jackson promptly never mentions them again save for one deleted scene with Galadriel and Nenya. Until I read the books as an adult I had no idea Elrond and Gandalf had the other two. That's...a pretty egregious thing to leave out.

Peter saves himself somewhat with the faux Silm plot in The Hobbit films. TBH I forgive absolutely everything else about the Hobbit Films for the purpose of that tiny moment where Elrond teases Bilbo and invites him to stay (except it's only in the extended so....again, we see where PJ's priorities lie), and Elrond in that armor saying "you should have stayed dead" like adlkgh--- thank you my crops are watered and my skin is clear.

But it should not have taken Peter six movies to fix how badly he nerfed Elrond, and he didn't even really fix him.

All that to say: so many of my favorite Elrond scenes from the films (the Gilraen memorial, Elrond teasing Bilbo, etc), are scenes from extended cuts, meaning when editing Peter Jackson decided these scenes weren't essential to the story he was trying to tell. And sure, this sure as hell isn't "The Elrond Trilogy" -- but it doesn't have to be. Elrond has so little screentime in the books and Jirt still takes those few moments of screentime to tell us Elrond laughed. Elrond was kind as Summer. Elrond's house was safe and cozy and Evil Things Did Not Enter That Valley. Elrond raised Aragorn as his own son and loved him dearly. Elrond was Kind as Summer. Elrond was kind. Elrond was kind. Elrond was kind.

And that isn't how Peter Jackson chose to portray him. I can't fault the man for not having Elrond as a blorbo. We all have different blorbos and that's okay. The trouble is that Elrond is Jirt's blorbo. And Elrond, at his core -- just like Bilbo and Sam and Frodo -- carries the essential message of Tolkien. It isn't great flashy Acts of Heroism that save the world, but rather quiet courage, and kindness, and gardens and laughter and good food and cheer. Places of safety. Gentle guidance. Healing. Healing. Healing.

So that's why I just will never forgive what Peter Jackson did to Elrond. Elrond is good. He is kind. He is extremely powerful -- but he chooses to use that power to heal and guide. And the reason it makes me so mad is not because he's my blorbo (okay maybe it is a little bit), but because breaking Elrond's character in the films was completely unnecessary and completely avoidable. It's just that Peter Jackson chose to do things his way and tell the story he wanted to tell, rather than taking the time to make some small and easy directorial choices to make sure he got it right. And the end result is there is a depressingly large number of people who live their lives thinking that Elrond's that cranky "MeN aRe WeAk" killjoy dad who hates happiness and runs a glorified hotel, and it just kills me.

i rly do dislike the modern debate of ‘who is the goat’ in just about every facet of the game … idk it’s a team sport. to me there is no need to debate who the goat is and there is no need to reach a consensus. each player’s talents and weaknesses are strengthened or exacerbated based on the team around them and the tactics that are employed.

#obvs there are players who are technically better and whatnot but i just think it’s a debate with no real substance #ppl on twt were talking abt sknt goats and there was a lot of uproar btwn like pjs/shm/lki and all that #just think it’s unnecessary 😭 also the kr bro tacticos scare me a bit bc they all LOVE kangin and minjae and are very critical of sonny #and it’s just like chill . 😭 ugh the ppl going ‘he shouldn’t be captain bc he cries too much’ 💀 #that’s my one problem w the tavern their opinion pieces suck

things from the Undertale fandom I never understood

Literally any AU Sans relationship with ship kids always had a boy.

Never a girl ship kid

All the popular ship kids are guys

I cannot name one girl ship kid from a AU Sans ship

WHY???

#kitty mumbles #Not tagging main tags for this #I'm not calling anyone out or trying to harass anyone #I'm just confused #The only AU Sans kid who is a girl that I can think of is mine #And Prima doesn't really count because Ink just made her #She's not a ship kid #Just Ink's kid #Also I think Paperjam is technically nonbinary? #but my point still stands #If there are any girl kids that I don't remember I retract my statement #But the only ones that I can think of save PJ are guys

Why is it called Baby Shark Brooklyn?

uhhh okay so the most famous(?) version of baby shark that is from pinkfong (korean company w the charming little pink fox mascot) was just...given? that name I guess. apparently his name was originally ollie in I think the youtube shorts even though I wouldn't have known that cause I've never once heard him called that (also baby shark I found out today is a boy actually) but the name changed to brooklyn when they started making the show/movie that's on netflix I think? I assume it's to differentiate their baby shark from the millions of others that are out there so when u say baby shark brooklyn you know ur talkin about the one from pinkfong.

#i am very familiar with pinkfong it was frequently on the front tv my sister loved it and it is a very nice looking cartoon #the characters are really appealing to look at #asks #thestarbot #im not consistently watching baby shows i just technically 'shared a room' with my sister and the cartoons were unavoidable background #noise i sometimes caught myself watching and critiquing #there was the pj mask phase the pinkfong phase the puppy dog pals phase etc etc #currently on the youtube phase and thats where things get real crazy gotta pay attention to what kids are watchin #right now its alphabet lore and poppy playtime related things(knockoff content) the latter shes been told she cant watch but yaknow #sorry i got alot of kids stuff tucked into my mind i could probably go on and on but i guess I'm just like that in gen. very talkative

Fresh literally a purple parasite feeding off of the magic in the soul of the sans he is currently inhabiting moving it to the eye so that he has easy access and can monitor it so he can move onto the next sans when the current soul gets too fragile. He likes to keep his hosts alive to return to later if he needs an escape.

Fresh: YOLO no swearing bruh. Thats so unrad of you.

Chajndjsndjsndj Fresh is. An interesting character. With interesting morals.

Though honestly, I’m sure the no swearing thing is more for the amusement of seeing people get mad/startled over being censored in such a funny way lmfao. He just wants to see the world burn one Dude Bro at a time.

… He’d be a great uncle tho.

Kiddo: ah Funk!

Kiddo:

Kiddo, turning around slowly: please don’t tell Dad, he’ll kill me

Fresh: ain’t nothin to tell, little brosif, you said nothin 😎
