ACNH AU but it’s just Chil as Tom Nook giving out lax loans to people in need with his half-foot guild, and his close friend Isabelle Marcille helping out and hanging around. Been playing ACNH and came to the realization that Tom Nook & Isabelle give Chil & Marcille energy, and immediately had to draw it…

Man wanted to retire early but still hasn’t stopped. What I want for post-canon Chilchuck is just for him to have Tom Nook energy fr fr

#Dungeon meshi #acnh au #chilchuck tims #marcille donato #meijack #Flertom #Puckpatti #Chilchuck’s family #Marchil #To me they’re the Everything Everywhere All at Once thing where doing taxes together is the most romantic thing #At first I wasn’t gonna put Marcille in a pencil skirt but. She’s rocking it #Also was gonna give Mei tims shoes but forgot. She still got her knee-high shoes swag tho #The thing is Marcille DOES have dog energy it’s just that unlike Laios she’s like… A pomeranian or smth #Chil got divorced bc there were never non work-related vacations. Get that island cash my guy #I had fun putting details on the board #Saw a localization of Laios as Laois the other day and I have taken psychic damage #Listen I’m sure canon Chil has a very neat handwriting. Sorry for the character assassination #But also??? Illiterate rates have gotta be high for the Dungeon Meshi world right. I ponder it a lot #I am sorry that I accidentally made Chil look like Christopher Robin in that last one… I apologize

The more I think about it, the more I think that Persuasion has my favorite premise of all of Jane Austen's novels

Anne Elliot as a character speaks to my soul. She feels tremendous guilt for a decision she made eight years ago. Her life is lonely, as she doesn't really have anyone she can truly confide in despite being surrounded by people. So she swallows her pain, the yearning she feels deep in her soul, and vows that if nothing else at least she'll be helpful.

And of course she is reunited with Frederick Wentworth (the one that got away) who seems to hate her now, and she just keeps going. She keeps being kind and supporting her loved ones while slowly carving out a life for herself. There's something about her classic heroism that just feels so attainable. I don't have Elizabeth Bennett's wit, or Jane Bennett's unwavering belief in the goodness of everyone, or even Elinor's constant composure. But I can be like Anne and just keep moving forward attempting to be helpful

Of course it all works out in the end, and Anne is finally surrounded by people who truly appreciate her, even if she had to wait an extra eight years. Others have observed the fairy tale quality of the ending, and perhaps that's why it speaks to me. The idea that if you just keep doing your best and being kind, you'll eventually find happiness

#Would I say that Persuasion is my favorite of Jane Austen's novels? #I don't think ss #Pride and Prejudice is her most well written in my humble opinion #and i do with persuasion had more characters that were fully interesting individuals #and of course I would love more of an actual period of time where Anne and Wentworth are together in the narrative #since we never see what they're like as a happy couple or before their separation #(unlike Austen's other couples where you can see hints of their dynamic before they're together) #but the premise of persuasion is just so beautiful #persuasion #anne elliot #pride and prejudice #jane austen #cottagecore-raccoon

people talk about how they could have so easily made troy and abed the typical nerd x jock relationship dynamic friend duo and they didn’t, which made it better. which is all true but I think we forget that they didn’t start with really any dynamic in mind for them at all. troy and abed weren’t even originally supposed to be especially close. they built the characters, seperately, then as the show came together they realized how much chemistry the two had (troy and abed AND danny and donald.) their dynamic wrote itself, with almost no pretense or planning, and that’s what makes it so special and unique. that’s why there’s not really any other duo quite like them in any other sitcom, or even any other show/movie. it’s a really strange realization but some of the best things we create are completely unplanned

#originally troy and pierce were supposed to be the ‘unlikely friends’ duo of the group #like a beavis and butthead type duo #and you can see early efforts to make this happen in the pilot #but then in spanish 101 (episode 1x02) they realized how good danny and donald (and subsequently troy and abed) were together #so they took that and ran with it #they talk about all this in the dvd commentaries etc but yeah #I’m so glad they weren’t too rigid in their plans for the characters #because troy and abed really are a big part of what makes community so special #anyway #community #nbc community #community nbc #abed nadir #troy barnes #trobed #troy and abed

A Sun and Moon from two different locations huh? The meeting between them… thing is even though they’re animatronics and have the same base coding (probably), they’re sentient. And the thing is with people is that even if they have the same body, a major part of personality and such comes from their past. And even then there’s a chance they will have different likes they formed on their own. One Sun may like the color green while the other red. And even if they’re both from restaurants, there has to be different guests and varying popularity and interactions.

To put it simply, you are not your twin or parents. Your own experiences and personal preferences and dislikes make you up. They may be robots but they’re living. So their first meeting and further interaction may be a bit surprising? Conflicting? Unexpected.

Anon I love how you put it together, because that's what having the two means. To see someone just like who you lost, you have expectations because you knew them.

Having that piece tilted and wrong, there is a sense of guilt and disgust right?

#inbox #tw death #anon #theharedraws #rusted bells & faded ribbons #rbfr moondrop #fnaf sb au #post apocalypse au #rbfr sundrop #What makes this worst is how unlike people #their AIs were together and shared the same body #it's like the world kicked their wound with irony #So i'd say they'd be distance at first but they can't stay apart #'cause of the guilt of losing their original counterpart and to see another right in from of them #it would be like they died twice if anything happened

okay i'm a zutara shipper through and through....however....i absolutely ADORE jinko alright??? like,,,, if jin had appeared in the atla finale as uncle iroh's first employee of his tea shop and she shared an awkward flirty moment with zuko hinting at something more happening between them in the future, just LISTEN. i would have screamed. i would have yelled. i would have been on the fucking floor. also just....imagine the look on uncle iroh's face when he tells zuko who he hired. imagine zuko's flustered reaction in front of the gaang PLEASE

#would have made so much more sense than zuko randomly getting back together with mai #also this would just give major sukka vibes #suki and jin were both introduced in one episode and had great chemistry with a main character #but after they meet it seems unlikely they'll see each other again #but sukka does!! #and its so unexpected!! #and they pick up right where they left off a whole book later!! #jinko could have done the same thing okay just LISTENNN #jinko #atla

at the asian american studies sponsored movie screening i run out of my seat to press a button for the presenter and you look away, not in shame, but in anger

go make your own movie.

One where you’re the star

and everything’s my fault

the way you want it to be. I know, it’s easy

to let someone else hold this grief

and sit in the bathtub,

all dressed up to go to the party.

Maybe in this movie it’s your party

and I the party crasher,

holding cymbals and a baseball bat, et cetera.

But we don’t stop getting older when we’re angry

and you’re only twenty,

can’t listen to lullabies at night,

can’t sleep without a blanket

over your head like you’re scared

of your own shadow. God, go

write your own movie.

You could do it,

you’re still

pretty. Angry? Me too.

The bathtub’s overflowing,

the bathroom’s flooding

with whatever you couldn’t say

to the poet with their palms glued shut

in a cheap simulacrum of prayer.

Didn’t you say you were tired? Angry? Me too.

Upset? Unhappy? Me too. Hungry? Lonely? Me too. Me too.

Standing barefoot in the grass

I remembered the month of bad weather.

How I parted the fog with broken hands each night,

looking for your voice.

Oh, I will not forgive you.

Not like this.

With your fingers splayed

against the brute February sky,

lips cracked open like windows,

waiting, like you always are, for me to say the first word.

#my writing #my words #there are many reasons i like tumblr. for example the number of people who keep getting older is very impressive #but also it is nice because unlike my goddamn poetry account (self inflicted damage) half my friends irl do not follow me here #so i can put this poem down. it’s not public grief here it’s anonymous grief! woo #anyway i have just survived possibly the most brutal four weeks of my life and this is including getting dumped a week #before the dance concert in which my ex and i were in more than half the items together. this is including that #but i am OUT #and this poem was written while i was still in but i am O U T #lord being hurt and hurt and being mature and brave and smart makes your HR voice get really good #not by choice #for survival purposes #i am wondering if i should get this laptop. as my water bottle exploded and destroyed my old laptop #i think i will do it #yes. i think so #it is time to start taking care of myself. and so on #so here’s this poem. i wanted to share it because it’s raw and unedited and it has some lines that i think are neat #if it makes you feel some stuff that would make me very happy

just absolutely fucking obsessed with the 0.5 evil marriage bad end deep in love deep in suffering of it all, everything that could've possibly went wrong went wrong and they're in it together

#truescholar.txt #the way that from the beginning of the book mo ran absolutely portrays it as him one sidedly tormenting chu wanning out of hate #but slowly it unfolds the realization of the sheer degree of intimacy and 'you would not be fucking doing that if you just hated his ass' #it's strongly been my conviction that once chu fei realized what was going on and 2.0 chu wanning inherited his souls and memory #thus meaningfully continuing his existence on (and i want to think it's a more complete continuation unlike soma level memory self shit) #that his perception of their years together in taxian jun's palace would completely change #and that he would almost treasure the time they had together even if during it was the most painful and agonizing time of his life #toxic trauma bond moments but they were in it together #and mo ran would've never done this to him in this way (ie the illusion of not loving him deeply in body heart and soul) #2ha is definitely not a moral tale nor an 'example of what you should or can do in a relationship' #but instead the story of how two deeply mentally ill and traumatized people fought their hardest to find their way home together #over two lifetimes #over many lives lost and regained #it truly only works because it's them and because they have the exact same kind of madness for each other

My new hobby is squinting at the background of Sky Chord and trying to find recognizable silhouettes.

I think the first half is the Living World? And the second half is Soul Society?

I only just now noticed the person walking left to right at the end of the gif, but for both thematic and height-based reasons I think it's gotta be Rukia.

#bleach endings #i realize this looks like the work of an extremely bored person but i assure you i had a lot of fun #i did not have a lot of fun trying to figure out how to do annotations in clipchamp. i did my best #i have a few more guesses but they are more based on the fact that the second one is *mostly* in squad order #it's so unlike a bleach op/ed to separate byakuya and renji #maybe they were talking together and byakuya hung back b/c he needed to tell hitsugaya something and now he's trying to catch up again #who! are! the other children?? i want to say ichigo's sisters but it doesn't look like them #the 'ichigo's classmates' label is based on the fact that one of them is reading (ryo) and one of them slouches like keigo

the thing that i really. REALLY appreciate with kny is that they do follow up on their characters. (for the most part at least) everything connects and we really get to see the characters grow as people and just. yes character arcs!! yes!!

#the exception to this is nezuko. gotouge popped off on everyone else and then. freakin forgor to give her a solid story... #its ok...we can use our imaginations we can work on it together [png of animegirl reaching out her hand] #unlike. other anime which im not going to name (because if you know you know) where the main character #and his squad dont even go through any character growth at the and of the darn thing... like dude you had #and entire cast of characters and they. are almost exactly the same as they were in the begining T_T like.... #i dont like to complain about animes like this all the time but sometimes i have to do a bit of slandering. #its all said with love i promise you #but i disgress. anyway #me when the character grows as a person: yes..hahah YES #anyway. i need to back and do some digging through the manga again

[kissporsche]

riffing off a conversation with @minorfamilysupremacy:

one of the things that I really love about vegaspete (and this is just my personal opinion) is that, to me, they don't seem fated to end up together

yes, they're strange puzzle pieces that fit perfectly, yes, they're the only ones for each other. but there's nothing about their story that is inevitable. in fact there are so many moments where if just one little thing had changed they never would have fallen together at all. their shared trauma, their acquaintanceship before the timeline of the show, pete being ordered to spy, pete offering to go clear porsche's name, everything in the safehouse. any one of these elements changes and they just continue as they had been before- distant objects orbiting each other, curious and observant, but never pushed together close enough for the gravity to drag them in

and even when all these little things do line up (because maybe that is fate) and they do fall together they still fuck up again and again, they're given chances to leave, they struggle and fight and the cosmic unliklihood of them not working out is a constant presence BUT

pete has a chance to leave and comes back. vegas could fuck it up again but he apologises. pete chooses to follow his heart, vegas chooses to be honest, it is not the universe pushing them together, it's all them

for me, it makes it all the sweeter that they find each other and can't live without each other, because it wasn't fate. for all that they're perfect for each other, there are millions of versions of this story where they stay exactly as they have been (lonely and unfulfilled, never finding that other puzzle piece) and even more where everything ends in tragedy

but in this version of the story not only do they find each other, but they stay with each other, and that is down to them choosing each other. and that's so much better than fate choosing for them

#kp orig #kinnporsche #vegaspete #does this make any sense WHO KNOWS #and it's not to say there aren't other scenarios where they end up together #just that each one is so unlikely because we KNOW how long they've been on each others' periphery for #but it's never lead them together #what can i say i just love couples who aren't soulmates who were always going to end up together #anyway yes i'm still spiralling who is surprised they consume my every waking thought

Is Cat a Kind of Inntinnsic?

The answer, the one I'm sure the author would give, would be no. The story in no way treats Cat's Gift as an Inntinnsic ability. Violet and particularly Xaden don't act as if what she does is at all similar to what an Inntinnsic does.

But I'd argue it has to be in order for it to work.

Because everything is first person from Violet's PoV or a rare chapter from Xaden, I sort of doubt the author really sat down and thought of how certain characters powers would work. If she did, i think she'd have realized Cat's Gift would function similarly to Xaden's second signet.

Cat can manipulate emotions. We're told she can't force someone to feel something they don't, but instead amplify what they do feel. On the surface that doesn't seem anything like an Inntinnsic ability. Where things become more complicated is how she uses that power.

If Cat can't implant an emotion, then she has to know what emotions the person is feeling. Sure, she could just be throwing her ability at people and seeing what sticks, or it could work in broad strokes; emotions overlap, so maybe any negative emotion can be made increasingly worse, while a good one amplified into pure elation.

I'd argue though that her power doesn't seem that broad, instead being pretty focused. Violet was easy to read so it wouldn't even have been hard to read that she hated Cat, and Cat threw out insults during their fight to make sure Violet is more susceptible to her Gift.

But the Venin she goes after at the end of the book wasn't as easy a read. She doesn't know this Venin. She's bragging and boastful, but whose to say that's greed and not pride? Or even done as a way to taunt Violet and make her more afraid?

Yet Cat manipulates the Venin without much difficulty, seeming to know exactly what emotions she's feeling without any trouble.

There's also the issue where people are generally feeling more then one emotion at a time. Violet is always in love with Xaden, but she can also be annoyed with him. Emotions aren't something that are felt one at a time--so how does Cat pick which one to manipulate without knowing instinctively what they're feeling?

I think it's very likely that Cat can either sense what people are feeling, or even see it (I'm thinking sort of like auras) and from there use her power to exaggerate which ever one she wants. It just makes the most sense.

But if that is the case, similar to how Xaden can read people's impulses and intentions, Cat could read their emotions. Now, that's not exactly mind reading, but Xaden's power isn't strictly reading minds either, yet he count's as an inntinnsic. To me what seems to make someone Inntinnsic is that they have no outward tell or rule for using their powers--they can just do it.

Dain isn't an inntinnsic because he requires touch to activate his memory seeing. As long as he does not touch you, you are safe from his ability.

Meanwhile, what makes inntinnsics such a security risk, is that they can activate their signet at anytime without anyone's knowledge. Xaden seems to be using his second signet constantly to read everyone, and no one has ever picked up on it at all.

In a way Cat's Gift seems to be similar in that she can use it without a hard and fast rule. She can just do it. If it works by letting her sense people's emotions, she could be constantly reading people Xaden does, but instead for intent, it's for their emotional state.

Does that not make her power Inntinnsic? Or at least Inntinnsic adjacent?

#fourth wing #iron flame #the empyrean #xaden riorson #catriona cordella #Cat Cordella #idk i find her power interesting #and thinking about how it works and looks to her as she uses it #made me realize it would probably function similarly to Xaden's inntinnsic ability #which means that both of them would have known that neither of them liked each other #the entire time they were together #at least if Cat was a flier back then #the time line seems a little wonky on that front #it says most gryphon Gifts involve mind work #which kind of makes me wonder if maybe poromeil wouldn't kill inntinnsics #since that seems to be something that their people would get way more often #and unlike the Dragon Riders they're not fabricating an entire history #I sort of doubt Yarros would write that #but damn it's kind of a wasted opportunity #the drama when the two sides join together and the Fliers have to expain that #'yeah we have people who fit into the Inntinnsic category and we're fine with them' #but if she did that Xaden's second signet wouldn't be that special #and it wouldn't have been such a big deal when he told Violet about it #since she probably would have already been dealing with people like that already #but that does beg the question what the fuck else mind work is?

Do current Marvel Writers hate Professor Xavier or something?

#the past years’ comics’ writing makes no sense for his character #not to say he isn’t manipulative or a chessmaster in planning #but it seems very clear to me that the writers are doing everything they can to make the founding leader and father figure of the X-Men #as comically irredeemable and unlikeable as possible #in comparison to their obvious favorites #professor charles xavier #is no saint #but his main motivation had always been for mutants and humans to live together in harmony #so it makes no sense for him to be so obsessive towards Krakoa #to the point of sacrificing his own people and dooming humanity #if you want the original team to grow past depending on their leader you can do that without destroying their relationships #and the whole ‘you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain’ schtick for charles is not a good look for Marvel #but this is just my opinion #an unpopular one but mine all the same #in my previous blog #I’ve said before that the only good thing to come out of the Krakoa arc #were the outfits #but now i feel like nothing about Krakoa was worth exploring as an arc #again #just my opinion #if the ‘97 X-Men series keeps fast forwarding through different arcs #i wonder if they will make the Krakoa arc easier to stomach if they include it at all #x men #xmen #marvel comics #marvel
