#okay that's a bad explanation

[baratielinecook]

transmasc luffy who’s just kinda always been raised a boy. like everyone just got the memo on that super young since luffy is just Not Subtle Ever. sometime after garp makes luffy ace and sabo’s problem and they all have bath time together and luffy’s just “????? why does my stuff???? look different????” and in the most Older Sibling “you’re not actually my sibling, you’re a circus monkey mom and dad brought home” kinda sibling ass way they are like “dunno yours probably got bitten off by an alligator or something” and luffy FULL ASS BELIEVED THEM FOR YEARS until like idk zoro or ussop or nami or someone explained that No That’s Not Remotely How That Works.

#monkey d luffy #sabo #portgas d ace #asl brothers #ace is the kinda brother to say ‘yeah ur sick fell off’ just to be an obnoxious older sibling and Torment #and luffy’s the kinda guy to be like ‘okay makes sense thanks for the explanation’ and continue on his day #like the girl who got told by her subs she was adopted and they found her on a rock in the woods #and she was just grateful to be found by a loving family for like a WHILE before she realized they were razzing her #ace finding out that luffy full on believed his dick fell off for most of his life and not knowing if he should laugh or feel bad #sabo laughs

#okay look i love louis and i really don't want to cause any discourse but i suppose this is just me gathering my thoughts in one place #i think that this livestream event would've been so much better if a. it had a concert attached to it and b. it was cheaper #like i'm sorry but i already paid £18 to watch it in the cinemas i am not gonna pay £18 more just to get 10 mins of extra footage #and him and charlie talking about the same things again. like we aren't getting any new questions and thoughts #and he would've been way better off by putting it on a streaming platform instead where fans can have access to it anytime #and this coming right after the cancellation of asia leg with zero explanation and one half assed tweet? is just not louis vibes man :/ #i am NOT saying there's something going on bts or whatever i'm just saying that the fans deserve an explanation #for the cancellation of the tour dates #and like. sorry but this livestream is not accessible at all. i am not gonna spend £18 on this #and like. £18 is actually SO much in so many countries that i know at the end of it only usa + eu + uk #fans will be watching it so what even is the point #but yeah. one off livestream bad. online streaming platform good. explanation for cancellation required

2024 reads / storygraph

Lord of the Empty Isles

sci-fi/fantasy

set on a supposedly utopian planet recovering from a climate crisis, where bonds between people are able to be seen and manipulated (by some people)

follows a young man whose brother was cursed and killed by an infamous outlaw 5 years ago, and he’s finally able to curse him back - but it rebounds, as he’s somehow fatebound to the outlaw

to find a cure and save them both they have to team up, and he quickly finds out that the resources the outlaw is stealing go to the thousands of people neglected on prison planets, and he has to go against what he thought was right to help them

no romance, aroace MC, focus on platonic relationships

arc from netgalley, out june 6

#Lord of the Empty Isles #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #I enjoyed this quite a bit! But I think it could have gone a bit further in places. #It has some interesting concepts and a great cast of characters and yay no romance #I do have a lot of thoughts and little critiques... #it's p obvious where the plot is going and what's going to happen #There’s clearly a lot gone into developing this bond system but to be honest I still don’t entirely get it? #It seems to emphasise that the bonds just reflect connections between people rather than predetermine anything; but also the plot kind of #hinges on Remy and Idrian having a predetermined bond? There are a lot of explanations of intricacies but a lot of it didn’t sink in idk #It’s promoted as QP but to me it reads as a general platonic relationship. I generally expect a depiction of a QPR to have like.. #some form of acknowledgement/depiction of the form of their relationship being a particular (undefinable?) kind #with some specific level of commitment? I’m being picky maybe they mean queerplatonic themes/vibes rather than saying it’s a qpr #specifically. the centred platonic relationship is good! it doesn't seem like a qpr to me; at most what could one day be that #also things are solved quite quickly and easily in the end - both the curse and the downfall of the bad guy. #I feared it would go down the route of blaming things on the person in charge rather than emphasising systemic issues which it kinda does…. #It’s impossible to ignore right now just how deeply people are willing to believe dehumanising propaganda - and how 'telling the truth' #and exposing the person in power as bad doesn’t actually do anything so that happening here made me go…… oh okay. well. #there is room for a sequel that maybe will explore this tho. idk #complaints aside - I do recommend this! It was fun and pretty unique. #aroace books #no romance

I hope Matt just commits to the bit of Liliana Temult, X-Men space soap opera villain…

Have her do large-scale, megalomaniacal villainy!

Give her a clone / alien daughter with all sorts of terrible hangups around being a replacement Imogen!

LET HER BLOW UP THE SUN UNLEASH THE GOD EATER!!

#critical role #liliana temult #imogen temult #(why yes. the clone daughter is my bad retcon/explanation for the ‘run imogen’ dream visions. i grew up on 90s comics okay??)

huuoogh eridan ampora is arospec and ace you agree. reblog

#homestuck #rambles #this is a silly post #right after valentines day cuz i forgor #my explanation being: troll society is amatonormative in that u are expected to be in a quadrant by a certain age (iirc) #and if you are not then you will (probably) be culled #one can imagine how that would have an effect on eridans view of relationships in general #i think the reason why she is so pushy is because she is viewing it as something necessary. that she NEEDS to #have a quadrant (understanding given how you will DIE if ur not in one) #i personally can relate to feeling like u have to be in a relationship bc of everyone around you #and i often mistook admiration 4 people i thought were cool as like romantic attraction #(cuz i have NO CLUE how romantic attraction feels like) #eridans whole thing to me is that she is... very lonely. and desperate. #and she wants to survive (re: what happened on the meteor) #but she reads to me as someone who does not want to be in a relationship but wants to have that box ticked. u know ? #not to mention eri is just genuinely kind of bad at mantaining relationships (of any kind ?) she has a tendency to drive ppl away methinks #of any romantic kind anyway. i think shes okay at mantaining friendships actually #this is where i start to lose my train of thought. i hope that explains like the gist of my reasoning behind this #evidence number two: asexual flag colors. #i rest my case #eridan ampora #“eridan ampora” #PLS #ITS NOT TAGGING!!!

okay this is my valorant oc her name is accord and she is a menace to society :3

i tried something new with the shading here so i hope it looks good

#my art #valorant #okay here is an explanation of her abilities #COINFLIP - EQUIP a coin. FIRE to send it forward causing accord to appear at the location it lands. HOLD FIRE to extend the range of the co #n #SHINY - EQUIP a coin. FIRE to toss the coin a short distance forward. The coin will nearsight all enemies who look at it #FIND A PENNY - EQUIP a coin. FIRE to place on the ground. when an enemy steps on the coin it will reveal their location until removed. the #coin can be picked up and redeployed #LIFETIME DEAL - EQUIP a coin. when in range of an enemy fire to toss them the coin and convince them to join your side (only for that round #the enemy can harm their teammates but no longer harm your team and their teammates can harm them. your team cannot harm the affected enem #and that would cost 8 points but honestly 9 would work better #but i mean since clove's ult is only like 7 i dont think 8 is so bad #she'd pull the cartridges out of her pockets i guess i didnt really think about that #her backstory is basically she found a pouch of magic coins (an artifact like harbor's bracelet) and people who see them are obsessed #since she has the pouch she is immune but that's why shiny and lifetime deal work #since people love the coins so much they'd do anything to have them #OH also uh i think she's an initiator? maybe a sentinel i don't know #this feels more initiator-y to me but like idk #i just made her because i thought it was cool #valorant oc

I have a student who wears glasses. They’d been my student for just over a year and I had no idea they wore glasses until I rocked up to class at the start of this year wearing my new glasses every week. And then they started coming in with their glasses.

Some time a couple months ago the same student asked what my background was and when I told them, they were like “oh, that’s the same as me!” They look a lot like my cousin did at that age.

Today they pointed out the pimples on my forehead and we talked about our how we have acne in similar places—they had one on the tip of their nose today and begrudgingly told me their friends are calling them Rudolph because of it. I shared with a laugh how I used to get pimples on the tip of my nose every now and then, and how my brother would call me Rudolph too. I have a yellow silly face mug sitting right next to me right now actually that has a little red dot on its nose, like us. They laughed at that.

They’re at that age where they’re insecure about their abilities and skill level. It’s so hard to get out of that headspace once you’re in. I don’t think anyone really gets past that past high school. I wrote them a card at the end of last semester saying I’m proud of them and how I admire their persistence even when things in class get hard. Some small part of me wishes I had something like that when I was a kid but I think me doing this for them is sort of doing that in a way. Like I’m living vicariously through them or something. They haven’t made a single comment at their own expense since the card. I’m not waiting on it either.

Idk what I’m trying to say here. We’re both people living on this rock with similar experiences. We look the same. We laugh the same. We dress the same. Idk. The only difference is they’re 12 and I’m 25. We should be worlds apart. There have been so many technological advances and changes in the school system between the two of us. I have no clue what school is like nowadays. I have no clue. But I do, at the same time. I know what school is like. It sucks. It sucks so much. We should be worlds apart, but we’re not. We’re the same. Idk I’m just feeling something about this. We’re the same, y’know? We’re the same.

#personal #okay to reblog #I’m just feeling things about this #like. representation matters or whatever i guess #god idk how to describe what I’m trying to say #we’re just. we’re the same. but not in the way of like. #it’s not projection or anything like that’s not what I’m getting at #it’s just like. we’re allowed to be normal without having to like #hide anything #it’s so easy to hide y’know? #and when you see adults hiding. of course that’s what you learn to do as well don’t you? #how many times have we heard adults make self-deprecating jokes? #how many adults have we seen hide the shame of their acne under foundation and concealer? #how long have we gone knowing people without knowing they wore glasses? #without knowing they’ve got other disabilities? #y’know? I’m not saying you owe anyone a whole explanation of your entire health record or whatever. that’s not the point #I’m saying like. #god why is this so hard to say? #like. as a teacher i personally don’t shy away from things that are typically seen as like. ‘bad’ or whatever. y’know? #i don’t shy away from making mistakes. or apologising. or about why I’m away so much #if they have questions and i can answer them comfortably then i will #my students know they have a teacher who has acne #they know they have a teacher who gets sick often #they know they have a teacher who has adhd. who makes mistakes. who isn’t afraid to admit when they don’t have answers. #they know they have a teacher who apologises when apologies are due. who is willing to learn to be a better teacher for them #y’know? do you know?? am i making any sense #this isn’t a brag or anything. far from it really. i just. idk if I’m getting my point across here. i just. want this to make sense. #like. we’re the SAME. do you understand? #we’re the SAME. we’re the same. we’re the same #humans

Red team when blue clearly distrusts them and then they give them more reasons to distrust them <3

If you don’t know who Buddy ‘Sparrow’ Bradshaw is, this fictional man has been haunting our discord server enough to become several insane memes and honestly I hate him SO MUCH.

#notmybradleybradshaw #sparrow hate tag #OKAY QUICK EXPLANATION BURIED IN THE TAGS #HE'S A CHARACTER FROM A REJECTED TOP GUN 2 SCRIPT A SERVER MEMBER GOT THEIR HANDS ON #AND THE WHOLE THING IS SO WONDERFULLY BAD WE'VE BEEN YELLING SINCE YESTERDAY #it's one of those 'submitted scripts to get it produced attempts' from a dude named Gary Whorley who we oughta beat to death by now #but the book is SO SO BAD #and 'Sparrow' is the Rooster equivalent #oh darlin it's a trainwreck

Has no one ever considered how nonsensical and even rather horrifying the Morganthe spells like “Morganthe’s Angst” (aka the “summon spider!Morganthe to attack your enemies!”) are in the game?

Like they spend an arc revealing to us her unfortunate backstory and her descent into Shadow, we literally see into her memories, then we fight defeat her, the Song of Creation overwhelms her and plunges her into an abyss...

And then randomly we just, get spells that can call her up to hit our enemies? And that’s not commented on at all???

#like at least in iri's story i give an explanation! but the game just never says anything about it #wizard101 #i just feel really bad for morganthe and her story okay

i swear to god

this meteor needs one of those baby on board things on the back

but like a grub instead of baby for max fidelity to the gag because TROLLZ

Dave rolls his eyes and they all see that lip twitch up in the smallest smirk as he mocks Karkat. It softens almost instantly at the genuine distress on his friends face.

i know you cant fly dude obviously i would just carry you or something

Their eye contact, even through Dave's shades, lingers a second too long before Karkat remembers the tantrum he was throwing.

I'D RATHER FUCKING DIE!!!!!!

But strangely the familiar ribbing has calmed him somewhat.

seb/charles, gentle :)

Charles watches frim across the garage as Sebastian talks to one of the engineers, hands waving in the air as he goes over the incident that just happened during FP1. There's a VIP badge hanging around Charles' neck; it feels different, foreign like so many other things in this place.

This Seb is mostly the same as the one he knew before, except in the ways that he's not. The other Seb (Charles had called him the original, once, but this Seb hadn't liked that) had a gentleness to him that was present in almost everything he did. This Seb is colder, more calculated than Charles ever saw the other Seb.

But there's a warmth to him, too, one that's reserved for late nights away from the track, that it took weeks for Charles to see even a glimpse of. It's that warmth that made him start thinking of this Seb as his Seb.

#seven.... not bad! #the perk of these being only five(ish) sentences is i can just stop even tho it feels like an awkward place to stop it. #anyway explanation for this is: charles wakes up in a parallel universe where he never existed but seb is there and he's a six time wdc but #he's Different. #and then they fall in love etc etc etc #the long version of this that only lives inside my head is amazing. this is. okay at best #my writing #ask
