Miles’ tails are way bigger than the rest of his body. That allows him to fly, and even though it makes him look way tinier than he is (and he is already too little for his age) he doesn’t mind.

He will never outgrow his tails, it doesn’t matter how many vitamins he takes or how much physical therapy he gets, spending the first four years of his life living off garbage scraps and eating less than once a day stunted his growth forever.

Good news is that he’ll always be able to fly, bad news is that he’ll never achieve the younger sibling goal of being taller than your older brother.

#Sonic should be happy beamcause he’ll always be the tallest sibling #but he’s not happy about it #he wouldn’t mind being shorter than his lil bro if it meant he could’ve grow properly #but chaos knows it’s a miracle the kid was even alive when he found him #he tried to give the kid everything he needed #but it was already too late to change that #I know you guys like that take on tails being taller than sonic when he reaches his puberty and smthn #and also the one on tails not being able to fly as an adult because he would be way too big for his Tails #but no #his tails are massive and there’s a reason for it #haha his tails needed the few nutrients he could get because they were the part of his body that took the most damage #his tails got most of the very few nutrients he got as a toddler because HELL those tails needed it #so they’ll always be the biggest part of his body #broken bones deep cuts almost bleeding out #but his tails protected him #his tails allowed him to reach for the stars #his tails allowed him to keep up with his big brother #so he doesn’t mind #it does conflict him #but he doesn’t think he would change it #sonic headcanon #sonic the hedgehog #miles tails prower

the contrast between lance/seb’s and sebchal’s social media pr videos always gets me because charles is constantly looking at sebastian like he’s the second coming of christ, meanwhile lance has the biggest “peacefully minding my own business” aura i’ve ever seen

#this isn’t to say that one is more real or genuine or better than the other just that i find it funny #how it illuminates how #frankly abnormal charles was (and still is) about seb #like contrary to whatever we write in rpfland i dont find charles particularly passive or demure at all #except for how in those years he was always deferring to seb and letting seb take the lead #like when they were doing the german video and charles just repeated what seb told him word for word no hesitation? #ofc he is a good child who respects his elders but he really let seb get away with a lot #sometimes people say out of pocket things to him and he gets that dead fish look in his eyes even tho he’s v polite about it #but #he would let seb poke fun at him with the biggest smile the silliest giggles #🐝🆑 #this is an expansion of what i posted a month ago about charles’ dignity’s disappearing act but it still holds #anyth w my emoji sebchal tag is not meant to be taken seriously and are just my silly little musings

scott appreciation week (day 2) → that's all i got (parental figures)

perhaps there is a monstrous origin to it, after all. — ocean vuong

#twedit #scottmccalledit #scottmccallweek23 #scott mccall #teenwolfedit #hiiiiiii #shaky camera tw #for the last gif #anyway i think there's a lot to be said about rafael vs peter #the intimidation and the violence #rafael didn't throw scott down the stairs on purpose but he grabbed his wrist and tried to hold him in place #and peter holds scott down by his head #the way rafael demands scott behave the way he wants vs the way peter forces him to #i wish they had committed to a characterization for rafael because they get so weak with what they implied so heavily before was awful #and it's a genuinely interesting parallel to peter #the way the supernatural world raises the stakes by a million #rafael wanted a son and peter wanted a beta and neither of them were happy with the way scott filled those roles #because ultimately to rafael and to peter those roles meant subservience #if you grow up with an angry man in your house there will always be an angry man in your house #to get out from under the thumb of one just to end up under the palm of another #i'm your father / you're a gene donor! vs you were never an alpha you were always a monster #the way peter telling scott it was his bite that changed his life and his bite that can end it #echoes a father telling his son he should be grateful to have been born at all #the way scott says then END it peter because you won't get another chance in the s4 finale #and the way scott's dad is gone after s4 #it could've been sooooooo interesting

[northern-passage]

You don't have to respond to this if you don't want to, I know it will start unneeded drama but I just found it soooo interesting that, since the transphobic blog lets you see their likes, most of their likes are TWC related. And it's not like that fandom is notorious for being a toxic hellspace, no sir.

to be frank it's not just twc, the IF space as a whole is pretty notorious for being toxic at this point. whether you're on tumblr or reddit or the forums, you're going to find these kinds of people lurking around.

that was why i did post that person's username because i could see them interacting with various other authors, and it's best to just block them before they send you something stupid, too.

just like any large online community there are going to be a lot of trolls trying to get attention by sending inflammatory messages or leaving cruel comments wherever they can; i've been getting that kind of stuff sent to me or left in reviews or comments for years now. and currently losers online are having a fucking field day with everything that's going on right now - racism, islamophobia, antisemitism, transphobia, even gore, i've gotten it all in my inbox over the last few months and i've seen others get even worse. these people are pathetic and not worth your time. i've gotten better at not responding to stuff like that, but it is hard to resist that instinctive anger, and that's exactly why they do it & exactly why you see it in every single fandom/online space.

all of that to say, just ignore and block them and you'll have a far better time online than if you constantly try to argue or reason with them because they don't care, their only goal is to make you miserable. even if you think you have some epic clapback, it's not worth it, you're still giving them the attention they clearly desperately want and potentially exposing others to harmful rhetoric. just block 'em, babey!

#it's also why i didn't bother actually responding to that person's message cus there was no reason to share it #just for them to get some weirdo satisfaction from it #i really try to only respond if i feel like it's something i can properly address in a meaningful way #but you can tell when asks are just meant to upset you and you should just block and delete those #and i dont care about twc but i dont think its helpful to blame one single group here #when overall the fandom space within IF and elsewhere is always kinda rancid #i cannot stress enough to just block people. i've gotten way more liberal about it over the years #there's no reason for you to have to interact with every single person just cus you're in the same space #even as an author #extracting myself from certain circles has helped me way more than trying to appease an audience that hates me #anyways it's been upsetting this past few months to see the depravity of some people that are just reveling in all of this #that's why i kinda wanted to respond to this. it's bleak out here but you'll always have the block button and the knowledge #that despite it all you aren't someone who wasted their time harassing random strangers on the internet! #ask #anonymous

[autisticlee]

everyone likes to tell me that real friends exist, the right people for me exist, i'll find them, I just have to look, keep trying. etc.

but no one tells me how, where to look, or how to know who "the right people" even are!

not to mention the fact that I'm getting too old to "make friends" because it's mainly expected of kids/teens to do that. older adults are supposed to have their people already. most adults my age already have their established friend groups that i'm not allowed to join. or they're all pairing off and prefer their partners over friends. or I just simply can't relate or bond with them because we have nothing in common.

#autistic #autism #actually autistic #autism things #neurodivergent #adhd #audhd #autistic friendship #friendship problems #friends #the people who tell me these things never want to step up and try to be that person either so I mean 🤷‍♂️ #they won't tell me how and where and won't be an example. like how am I supposed to know what a good friend looks like if I never had one? #how am I supposed to know what the “right people” look like and where they are!! #this has to be one of those secret things other people just naturally *know* that I don't. right????? #most others dont seem to have any problems with it and assume I can do it easily! #the older I get the more I lose hope i'll find ~my people~ or where I belong and true friends.... #lee rambles #how cruel is this universe to make me want nothing more than to have solid and deep connections then deny me that #i wish to be able to accept that im meant to always be alone and embrace being a lonely as hell and learn to like it 🥲 #most of my problems and mental anguish would magically disappear if i could convince my pathetic brain to accept that!

Quahaug Concept Art

Quahaug's concept/reference art! Translation notes and image id under the cut.

Translation notes:

"OP sort of powerset" was literally translated as something like "cheat-like." I feel like OP is the more common English term for that sort of thing, so that's what I used, but some of the meaning was probably lost there.

"Older-tween-ish" was specifically a reference to a particular middle school year for children who are about 12-13 years old. Since grades and names of grades vary a lot from country to country, I just went with "older tween."

ID:

[Image id: Several images displaying different parts of 2 pages of the Triangle Strategy artbook, with both the original Japanese as well as versions with English translations. There are several disclaimers noting that the translator doesn't speak Japanese, and that there are likely many mistakes.

On one page, there is a large colored version of Quahaug's canon portrait, along with a smaller, uncolored version. There is an illustrator's note at the bottom that translates to read, "'Manipulating time' is an OP sort of powerset, so though he looks like a child, I aimed to create a look for him that conveyed a sense of unknowable power. (Tatsuaki Urushibara)".

On the second page, there are many drawings of Quahaug, including a closer bust-up portrait in which he's compared to Lyla, with an arrow and label reading, "Mother." There's also several notes that explain the construction of his costume. The costume is labeled as a Greek "phelonion" (a priest's outfit with no real sleeves, just draping fabric). There is a small drawing of this version, with an arrow leading to another drawing that does have sleeves, with the note, "If you can't display this in pixels, use this one." There are several notes that explain how this draping cloth should be considered his everyday clothes, while the ceremonial decoration that goes around his neck is placed over it. There is a close up of the ceremonial dressing's fastenings underneath the metal decoration. Some more notes highlight details on his staff, emphasizing the hourglass on top and the small wheel to the side that can be turned to flip the hourglass. A larger piece of text underneath one fullbody drawing reads, "Character Who Manipulates Time."

On the second half of the second page, there are drawings of some beta designs for Quahaug. He looks much more punk-ish. On one bust-up portrait, there are the captions, "The burden of the time demon caused some of his hair to go gray…." and "All-natural highlighted tips." On the same portrait, he is snapping his fingers, and there's a note that reads, "Manipulating time is as easy as snapping your fingers. You just have to want it or whatever." A speech bubble near his head reads, "I don't think of Anna as a mother." A caption pointing to some green markings on his arm reads, "Demonic time seal on body." In a fullbody drawing of his beta design (which is made up mostly of chains that barely cover him as well as a long roughed-up cloak, there is the note, "Almost naked cloak."

At the bottom of the second page, there is another note that reads, "Initially when we hadn't quite figured out the setting, we had an idea for a more older-tween-ish character as displayed here, but after discussing it with the producers and Mr. Ikushima, we went with his current form. As a boy who manipulates time, I placed an hourglass at the tip of his staff, and his face resembles that of his mother, Lyla. (Tatsuaki Irushibara)". /end id]

#triangle strategy #quahaug #lyla viscraft #triangle strategy artbook #ts artbook character ref sheets #at long last. emo quahuag #despite the WTF factor I really love the page. HE'S SO LITTLE. SO SO LITTLE. like in his canon portrait he could arguably be like 14-15 #but in those drawings on the second page he is indisputably a baby. look at that little face. HE'S SO CUTE #and that note about Anna really cracks me up. can't believe we missed out on having Anna try to wrestle with an angsty 12-year-old #also! trying out a slightly different format from last time! I will at some point probably throw up another poll about it #as always feel free to leave a comment/tag/anything else with feedback if you have any #at some point in the distant future I will probably go through and try to make all of the translation posts more consistent #but I probably won't go back and do that sort of thing until I get all of them done #oh and also also! as a note I actually messed up my order a bit; I meant to do lyla's first before this one #but she and the other saints will be up next #edit: one of the images had an old version of a translation (used 'something' instead of 'whatever' in the note about snapping fingers) #just reuploaded it

im so fucking confused about the whole KOSA thing, i read through the whole updated text of the bill again and I can't figure out which part is a bad thing, it all seems good except for that "attorney general gets to sue websites whenever they want" thing, but even that states that they can only sue if the site is in direct violation of the rest of the bill.

can someone please point me towards the specific text that makes this bill bad?

#kosa #kosa bill #negative #im so confused because everyones saying this bill is horrible but i can't find the “horrible” part #and this bill requires platforms to have an option to turn off algorithms sooo #i dont get it #the bill barely even touches on any “sexual exploitation” stuff and when it does its defined as being restricted to existing laws #to be fair im always wary of laws that seem to be redundant #because those are usually meant to be exploited #idk. im just rambling now. anyway if you know which lines in the text are the bad ones please tell i want to know

the moment I see someone unironically make a "deadweight" nero joke or seriously refer to him as "deadweight" i know i can't trust them

#its the like king of the unfunny dmc dudebro jokes #like I hate to be the 'UMMMM ACTUALLY' guy but tell me you were playing with your eyes closed without telling me #the POINT is that he was never a deadweight not even to Dante #he just took it to heart because he was so desperate for Dante to acknowledge him and to feel up to task and his own inferiority complex #but the POINT was that dante blurted out something he didn't mean in the heat of the moment just to get nero out of there and #as words you dont think about in the heat of the moment often do #it stuck and cut him deeply #do you ever hear anyone refer to him as a dead weight besides the one dante line? #no!!! #the word is said exactly four times in game and three of those are nero talking back at dante since the one time hurt that badly #anyway yada yada i know its a funny haha #but it always communicates such a lack of care and respect for the source material and nero as a character to me #you can make deprecating jokes about the characters you like! #hell i insult vergil all the time #(he deserves it) #but its one thing to make actually funny and accurate insult-jokes about a character out of fondness #and another to just blindly parrot back a line that meant something completely else in context clearly without understanding what it meant #lol sorry rant over this got a bit longwinded #but the type of fan to unironically do that just bothers me #lo and behold its always the gen nonship and anti people wonder why /s

the queer community rn (at least in my experience) kind of feels comparable to a clique-filled cafeteria. perpetual "well you have x trait/identity so you can't sit with us" from all sides

#and im getting the feeling im going to do what i do in those irl situations and go sit somewhere else at this point #<- not meant in a separatist way. meant in a ''well im not wanted so ig i'll leave yall alone'' way #idek if this makes sense. its more frustrated rambling than anything #but i just wish i fit in somewhere #i havent found a single community space where i fully feel like i belong #i always feel like im the odd one out #too masc for fems #too fem for mascs #too bi to use terms like sapphic or gay without some argument #and too fluid to fall under the seemingly required umbrella terms for gender #i just wanna stop feeling like the odd one out in places that are supposed to be for all of us #ghoul groans
