I'm not one to really hate people's ships even if they're popular, but something with shuake really frustrates me. Because not only does akechi try to kill Ren, but he killed two of his friends' parents and is a serial killer to so many innocent people ones we may not know but many we do know, even through attempts such as the train scene even if they were all injured (there likely was children that were on that train too, and I doubt Akechi had much sympathy for his actions). To say they're so hinted at being in love, all for it to be a tragedy and unforgivable too is so shocking to me. I'd argue that ryuji and ren have way more queerbait with each other, too, and are actually healthy and wouldn't end up as a tragedy. I'm not one to stop people from shipping, just crazy to see sometimes 😭 idk just like-- he smiled when he thought he killed ren

Sad to say I've never played a Rayman game before, I've known about the character for what feels like forever but I've just never thought to actually sit down and play a game. Tho that's definitely changing this weekend when I have free time, I honestly don't know how I've gone this long without playing a game since I love platformers and specifically 3D platformers.
Plus... Rayman's design is just peak character design. I'm a sucker for limbless characters and especially with his look in the Phantom's Show DLC being SO DAMN NICE (he also looks like he hasn't slept in like 10 years in the concept art which is great)

Picture it: sophomore American history. The year is two thousand and eight. The teacher is known for passing out jolly ranchers, one per student per day, when a kid does a good job. One day, she wants us to list every state in the country. Kids start listing them off in unison, mostly alphabetically, but falter around the I states (this is in Indiana, mind). Except one triumphant voice lingers as every other voice trails off in doubt and consternation. This voice flawlessly recites every state in these United States* as the class and teacher stare in awe, and at the very end the resounding voice makes mention of Puerto Rico and Guam as territories. The teacher wordlessly hands over two jolly ranchers.
A new day. List the presidents. Nobody knows beyond Washington, Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Clinton, George W. Bush–the incumbent finishing up his final term in a few months. Except. One voice–just as triumphant–recites every president, in order, even making mention of Grover Cleveland's non-consecutive second term. Everyone–teacher and student alike–stares again, this time almost in horror. The voice, embarrassed and blushing at the stares this time, finishes the forty-three chronologically, and this time as the teacher hands over another two jolly ranchers she overcomes her shock to ask "How did you know that??"
At which the body that contains the voice shrugs sheepishly, pops a blue raspberry in their mouth, and makes a vague "I 'unno" sound–unwilling to admit that the Fifty Nifty song they sang with their class in a third grade recital had permanently seared itself into their brain, as did the Nickelodeon presidents song that aired during the Oh Four election between Bush and Kerry
*I realized after while at dinner that evening when I told my parents about it that I had completely skipped Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, but the listing was so smooth and confident that no one noticed. I never made that mistake again regardless

Okayyyy basically I had this wild and wacky idea to make a comic series out of my belovedest fanfic. And I did Jjdj. So this is the *very* first part of post-mortem by @furiosophie (thank you SM to her for letting me do this) but in an amateur comic form 💀
You can read the actual fanfic (which supersedes any piece of art I could ever create. seriously it’s life changing) here! https://archiveofourown.org/works/38685009

The doctor and picard should form an unlikely friendship over the fact that they lived in a different world and formed a family and a life only to be removed from it to find that little time had actually passed and that they can never return and also because they have the same haircut.

Really like Twisted Wonderland because I know for a fact I could go 100% feral in that world and not feel an ounce of guilt. Like,
oh! Leona’s mad I borrowed some money from his room and used it to buy snacks? Remember that time you tried to kill us all in that emotional rampage by dehydrating us like fruit? Thought so.
Azul and the twins don't like that I filled their restaurant with silly string and balloons? Remember when I was coerced into a contract, kicked out of my home by the twins and then got the shit beaten out of me more then once just to get some self conscious dweebs class photo?
I got into a fist fight with Jamil in broad daylight? Well you see...

the posts about belos being a puritan witch hunter reminded me of the FUNNIEST fact i once read about that era:
okay so like, background: puritans and quakers had MAJOR beef back then. nowadays people tend to lump them together bc they were both branches of christianity popular in colonial era america but they were actually extremely ideologically opposed. the quakers were basically the anarchist hippies of the 1600s and the puritans were... the puritans.
and y'know, mostly the groups stuck to their own colonies, but there was some intermingling and some proselytizing from both groups. and the puritans did NOT take kindly to the quakers barging in on their communities. this was before the witch trials were in full force, so they didn't always jump straight to execution, but quakers were often accused of witchcraft and heresy and punished appropriately. and the quakers, a notoriously rowdy bunch at the time, obviously protested *loudly* at this. screaming in the streets, banging pots and pans, interrupting church services and court hearings, etc.
now here's the funny part: another way they protested was STRIPPING NAKED IN PUBLIC. imagine you're a little puritan lad sent to the market to buy some molasses. and you hear shouting and clanging coming from the town square so you veer from your path to see what all the hubbub is about. and you just. get an eyeful of dicks n tits n asscheeks. how are you supposed to react.

i think what makes some of the new pokemon designs and evolutions so odd is that for like. 20 years or something all pokemon followed this formula in their design, they had such similar vibes i regularly confused from which game some of them were from. i don’t think it’s bad that they’re mixing things up and going for something new but idk when you combine that with how the games themselves remain stagnant and only introduce single-generation gimmicks as opposed to some real changes to the gameplay it really feels like someone’s shoving digimon and yo-kai watch characters into pokemon which is a weird vibe to me
