I find it unfathomable and astounding that Tumblr isn't more obsessed with Sam Reich. You're telling me there exists out there a man who was born into the aristocracy of our country—with every privilege of modern society at his fingertips—who didn't complete high school (due to his mental health) and instead chose to devote his life to making strangers laugh and raising awareness on mental health. A full-bearded short king who is so committed to being the change he wants to see in the world that he decided to take the company he worked for into his own hands so that he could make sure all the people who worked under him could keep their livelihoods.

How many other CEOs are out here being as honest and transparent with their target audience/market as Sam Reich is? How many of them acknowledge when they fumble and continuously strive to be better than they were? How many of them actually seem like they respect their talent, both in the cast and crew? Sam Reich is the standard we should be holding other CEOs to.

But forget about all that (I could talk for a long time about the respect I have for Sam Reich)—ignore just how respectable he is as a businessman and a person. Ignore all the wholesome reasons for obsessing over Sam Dalton Reich.

The man is a stone-cold fox.

He's a little chaos gremlin and an absolute evil mastermind all rolled into one classy suit and well-groomed beard. Whenever Sam is on the set, you can guarantee he is going to make you crack a smile. And for someone with such natural authority, he's never afraid to be the butt of a joke and show himself being embarrassed. Go ahead, watch any clip of him trying to improvise in No Laugh Newsroom and just try to resist that blush.

You're sleeping on a goldmine of a man, here, damnit! And I will NOT let this go ignored any longer!

#sam reich #dropout tv #dropout #game changer #make some noise #incessant rambles #and yes i did have to stop myself from adding the phrase #''an extremely fuckable five-foot-two package'' #at one point in his dumb fucking rant

Aziraphale raising his wing for Crowley hits so different with the S2 context. I feel like we all looked at it as, here’s this sweet little principality, he’s kind and naive so he’ll shelter even a demon—but it wasn’t really that, was it? It wasn’t just some random act of kindness.

It was a message.

When Crowley slithered up that wall, Aziraphale was nervous. Because he gave his sword to the humans, sure—but also perhaps because he was seeing this angel again for the first time since he had fallen. He learns Crawly’s new name (Crowley never asks him for his name, he knows it already) and they have a brief exchange that was probably a lot like the ones they used to have.

Then when the thunder starts, it’s Crowley who’s first to move to him, to shuffle hopefully to his side.

I think when Aziraphale lifted his wing up, it was almost a way to say I remember who you are, I remember the kindness you gave me. I’m still here.

He wasn’t just playing umbrella. He was letting Crowley know he hadn’t been rejected by all of Heaven.

#Am I just insane at this point #Like i’m looking at their foot movements this can’t be healthy #me when a piece of good storytelling consumes my life #and i live for it #period #good omens #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale #aziracrow #good omens season 2 #analysis

It is WILD to me how many people just loudly broadcast their intention to scab, as if that isn't the fastest way to brand yourself as someone who will throw anyone else to the wolves in an industry that runs on collaboration, so every writer say it with me

#tbh i doubt most of these people even have offers to scab. so they're REALLY just fucking themselves here. #like this doesn't even apply to me cuz it's not like I'm on anyone's radar at this point but good lord #do you wanna make rent in six months? five years from now? don't undermine the guild and dont shoot yourself in the foot! oh my god! #edited to make it more clear in the post that SCABBING IS A SHIT MOVE NOT JUST CUZ ITLL GET YOU PERSONALLY BLACKLISTED

I bet the topic of gender and sexuality in this universe is super interesting. Extra-canon stuff points out that the long-lived races have an effect on what’s seen as attractive by short-lived races. The beauty standards of humans leans towards feminine androgyny, because elf gender presentation is very ambiguous. While on the other hand, half-foots on average see dwarves as the beauty standard. Oh, the in-universe discourse surrounding this would be so compelling!

Here's the extra about beauty standards!

Speaking of which, while going back through ryoko kui's blog I realized there's a last bit I haven't seen translated? I attempted to translate it with my poor jp, the help of google and by going by how this first part was translated. But there's these kanji I cant understand at all! Ryoko Kui's handwriting is my worst enemy

Here's what I got so far

So besides Elf beauty standards tallmen also have their own specific tastes! Makes sense considering they're such a wild spread race. If anyone knows what the elf is saying please help

Edit: thanks to iamluminia in the replies! Aparently the elf is saying "邪魔", maybe they think this conversation is a bother?

#dungeon meshi #ask #tallmen #elves #dwarves #half-foots #beauty standards #Also feel free to point out if I got something wrong #I translated it as “Tallmen civilizations” cause I think its the same word used on top that was translated that way #I only know a little bit of japanese so I draw on google translate the kanjis I don't know but it can't recognize whatever the elf is sayin #to be fair I need to study kana again too I keep trying to guess and missing LMAO

Currently imagining Arthur + Gwen + the knights asking someone (maybe druids?) who this famous "Emrys" is and they proceed to do a version of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" while Arthur, Gwen and the knights grow increasingly more distressed with each line and Merlin hyperventilates in the background

[ID: a black and white traditional ink drawing of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives, depicted in the final moments of MAG 200. Jon, unraveling into magnetic tape, floats in mid-air while Martin, standing on the ground, begins to drive a knife into Jon’s chest, cutting the tape. Jon gently touches Martin’s face and supports the arm holding the knife, while Martin sobs through gritted teeth and holds onto Jon’s wrist. End ID]

uhhh i decided at 3 AM that i wanted to draw something for @a-mag-a-day reaching MAG200, and then it was 8 AM somehow ? Haha weird anyway totally unrelated but im experiencing shrimp emotions

When I was a little child, there was a particular library book I checked out week after week, endlessly renewing it as much as I was able. The book, How to Raise and Keep a Dragon by John Topsell was a quasi-nonfiction guide to, as you guessed, rearing different species of dragons. I loved it. Tiny-me had plans.

As an adult, I tried to buy it a few times. No dice. The book was so old that no mainstream bookseller stocked it. Even when I tried niche websites recommended by various booksellers and librarians, I still couldn't find it. It was sadly lost to time, apparently not popular enough to make it into the archives.

But.

My best friend had a copy of that book. We're going to call her G, for several reasons not relevant at the moment. I was discussing my search with G one day, for some reason I can't remember now. She got a funny look on her face, asked me a few questions about the cover, listened to me do a very poor job of explaining with my hands how the hardcover copy had included a real gemstone in the dragon's forehead, and then went off to fish it out of her bookcase.

I was Gobsmacked.

I should not have been, given that the history of shared childhood books between us both would have made a circle with ragged edges, more so than a venn diagram, but I digress. The book came home to live in my house for a few months, and I was delighted by the chance to read it again.

Do people remember those type of books? Dragonology, Egyptology, The Stone Age - a way of introducing children to non fiction. They very earnestly spoke about the responsibilities needed to raise dragons, the practicalities involved. There was a record of registration you could fill out, if you had carefully considered the information to your self and felt you were responsible enough to to go through with adopting a dragon.

I vaguely remember filling out some of the riddle and puzzle questions in the Dragonology books. I would never have written in John Topsell's book, it was a library book.

But.

When I re-read G's copy at home, smiling over the familiar artwork, I was surprised to turn the page and find the painstaking, somewhat-wonky handwriting staring back at at me. Baby G, with her name spelled out in freshly-joined but still-not-quite-got-the-hang-of-this-yet cursive lettering. Baby G had filled the registration out in her best handwriting, in glittery green gel pen to denote the importance of the document. This was compared to the earlier, less important checklists done in plain black ink.

I read the registration certificate. Smiled. Smiled some more at the names listed for G's dragon, her dam, and her sire - Eragon was also a great book. Go off, Christopher Paolini.

Breed; standard Western Dragon. The box 'miniture' was ticked, to show that G's dragon was of the minature specic variety, rather than a full size dragon. This was, as she would later explain to me, chosen on the basis that baby-G felt it was the more financially responsible choice. Also so she could keep her dragon in her house with her, but we're not there yet.

I looked at that certificate. Looked at it again. Looked at the calendar, and then looked at the sewing machine I had just been given for Christmas.

G celebrates her birthday in January.

The template came first. I studied the different images of the standard western dragon through the book, picked my favourite, and re-drew it to a significantly larger scale.

Inking the design to the fabric, four times over probably took the longest.

I very subtly asked G the next time she was over (after hurling all dragon-related materials in a panic into the depths of my wardrobe) what type of colour dragon she would have, should it come up. As G later said, that type of question from me truly did not register as anything other than a question asked from theoretical interest. I transitioned the topic as discreetly as I could after she answered, and delightfully, my sneakiness went in one ear, out the other, and she forgot I had ever asked until several weeks later.

I enjoyed painting them.

Don't ask me how many mistakes I made through this process. So many. I do already know how to sew, but it's been a long time. I'd been meaning to get back into it for a while.

Given that various aunts and grandmothers and my mother had a knack for calling when I was up to my elbows in either paint or pins, it became a family affair. Each of them peered at the project through face time and offered their advice.

Some of the advice I took, some I didn't. No regrets about sewing it in pink thread. Considerable regrets about accidentally slicing one of the feet in half and having to fix that.

In the end though, she was finished.

I carefully pinned on her name tag, with the name baby-G had chosen with a little blue ribbon. A collar was unacceptable, this is a dragon, people, come on. Dragon's don't wear collars.

I put the book in the box, open to the registration certificate, and put the dragon on top. Wrapped the whole thing up with a bow and then refused to touch it before I sent myself mad trying to fix details that didn't really need to be fixed.

A bit late for her birthday, sure, but there we are. We'd gone for a trip off to nowhere for a weekend, to go try wine made out of blueberries and hike up a waterfall. (And climb on it. And swim in it. It was a very good waterfall).

I gave her the box, informed her she wasn't allowed to keep the box, just the contents (it was the only thing I had that was big enough for me to keep all of my A3 portfolios in, it had only been temporarily-repurposed as dragon housing), and then left the next bit up to the gods.

A surprise, sitting un-awaited for some 15 years in amber, to catch up to baby G and adult G together.

Happy Birthday, baby and adult G.

my favorite revelation from tsc is that kevin day IS canonically attractive neil just refuses to acknowledge it

#neil only has eyes for a five foot psychotic goalkeeper and that’s it #i’d like to think neil is asked about how people make kevin edits (remind me to elaborate on this) and neil is just like #you people are crazy. if you knew him you’d be plotting on his murder #and everyone laughs like neil haha you don’t mean that (slanted look at the gangster’s son) and neil smiles and doesn’t answer #kevin yells at him and begs wymack to put him in another media training class #anyway #not the point #kevin day is hot #we need to acknowledge this #kevin day #neil josten #the sunshine court #tsc #text

Every so often I remember Lirin was a doctor while Dalinar was Blackthorn, and his entire worldview makes a shit ton of sense. I can go on and acknowledge that he was a subject of Sadeas but really... nah. That man absolutely witnessed first-hand the casualties of that war.

#lirin did nothing wrong #yes even after the scene during the siege of urithiru. kaladin did not need to kill that singer #teft wasn't in any immediate danger at that point when they were being gathered. kaladin was the person who escalated everything #i don't (wholly) condemn kaladin beyond it being the first foot soldier he killed since oathbringer iirc. #i don't need him to act perfectly logically he wasn't in a good headspace #but lirin wasn't entirely unreasonable either. #cosmere #cfsbf #stormlight #stormlight archive #the way of kings #words of radiance #oathbringer #rhythm of war #lirin stormblessed #dalinar kholin #it's also understandable why he's fucking weird throughout the rest of RoW #talking to someone close to you after a heated argument is fucking uncomfortable as shit #and sometimes it's really tempting to refuse to acknowledge it instead because what the fuck do you do when that shit happens? #if communication was easy we wouldn't need diplomats. #we also see first hand how much lirin is lying to himself when it comes to resistance #both in hearthstone and in urithiru he keeps sticking his hands into the conflict and covering up resistance #despite the fact that he claims he doesn't believe in it. he is naturally a defiant person he just decided to not be super obvious about it #i think a lot of people don't like them because their own relationship with their parents is frustrating #and project their issues onto kaladin when they see them collide #lirin and kaladin are the same person. #a friend of mine who projects super hard on kaladin told me that if he ever met his clone even if they were identical in personality #he'd hate him because he's super bullheaded and stubborn #but also deeply fervent in his beliefs. #anyways i'm probably running out of tags

I think if you're going to ship Farcille (or Senchuck, for that matter,) within the realm of canon, then you gotta admit to yourself that it's going to be a little weird. Falin and Marcille met when Falin was 10 and Marcille was the equivalent of someone in their 18-19-early 20s. It gives "elementary student gets a crush on the TA." And even when Falin is grown and in her 20s, Marcille says that she still sees her as a kid. It is a running gag in the series that even after learning Chilchuck's true age, Senshi still thinks he's a young child and feels the need to protect his innocence.

It's a whole thing in-universe that most people of long-lived races are icked out by the thought of having a relationship with someone from the short-lived races, since they experience time and aging so differently. And some people from the short-lived races see this as discrimination against them. You can't poke fun at Otta and call her the Leo DiCaprio of Dungeon Meshi while erasing the same in-universe societal constructs for Farcille. I like the ship too! I just think it would be so much more interesting to examine how these things would affect their relationship rather than just pretend that canon doesn't directly address it.

#dungeon meshi #dm meta #farcille #senchuck #a talking mango #and WHILE IM HERE i think otta is at the elf age where she's still out and partying (and human trafficking but i digress) #and the reason why half foot women break up with her at around the same age is because they realize that eventually #and they want maturity at that point #anyway. maybe an unpopular opinion. shrug
