Ngl I am SUPER worried for Cinderella's kits...constantly being around someone who openly hates caring for kids, was forced to put up with said kids as a punishment for Cinderella's death, AND living around the two cats that got mama Cinderella killed...

And as for Downstar, this is a HORRIBLE idea for the babies. Their formative moons are gonna be spent with the absolute worst person to be their babysitter. Wildclaw absolutely deserves severe punishment, but this'll permanently damage these innocent kids for no good reason. There's gotta be a better punishment...possibly a temporary exile with Wild being shooed to the other side of the border, so that she can't meet up with Shadow also I was legit expecting Shadowdrop to just...quietly permanently exile himself upon learning that in other circumstances, said exile would be permanent. Simply slipping away from the clans entirely, and only giving a message for a loner to deliver to the clans to let them know that he's not coming back.

tldr: Downstar what the fuck, the kids are gonna suffer more than Wildclaw will for her punishment

Wildclaw doesn’t hate kits, she just hates nursery duty. She gets frustrated being stuck in camp making sure tiny beings do not do things she thinks are obviously bad to do (hypocrite). She’d love to be a mentor some day, but that’s the difference between watching over a middle schooler and watching over infants and toddlers. Plus, Wildclaw loves to be out and about, not stuck in camp. Nursery duty for six moons is a lot like camp confinement, at least in Wildclaw’s case.

Downstar would never have chosen this as Wildclaw’s punishment if Wildclaw actually hated kits. Remember, Wildclaw was just thrust into the situation and decided to be loyal to her brother. You don’t actually know the full depths of what Wildclaw thinks of Shadowdrop’s actions. If Wildclaw didn’t care about the kits, she wouldn’t have been so helpful. Downstar essentially decided that Wildclaw needs to get a better understanding of her position and responsibilities by focusing her time on her nieces and nephew.

In regards to Shadowdrop, he does want to be there for his kits. He wasn’t lying when he said he wanted to be a father. His exile would be long enough for him to think on what he did but not long enough that his absence would leave a cold memory in the minds of his kits. In RippleVerse, kits don’t really remember much of their first moon, it takes them that whole time to fully see, hear, walk, and speak.

Now, was this the perfect choice? Not really. Downstar’s decisions are heavily clouded by her love for her children, just as Shadowdrop decided having kits would fill the emotional void left at Carnationspeckle’s rejection. The pair are very similar in this way. Downstar had a very difficult decision in front of her; how do you punish someone for letting their heartbreak get the better of them (or in Wildclaw’s case, for not thinking ahead) without hurting the kits? The best answer she could come up with was by forcing Shadowdrop to evaluate everything alone and making sure Wildclaw was stuck in a position where she has to think ahead and be careful.

#I’ve been thinking about this scene a lot #I don’t think aziraphale is oblivious and i do think he is scared of the threat gabriel brings #But Aziraphale and Crowley have spent 6000 years lying to each other and pretending they’re okay #So when he calls him silly or asks him to dance he’s not being naive he knows there’s danger #but distraction and play are what they do best #They hide and scheme and plan separately even though they both want the same outcome #And would be so much stronger fighting together #But for them together is scary. It’s unknown. And it’s dangerous #And so the game continues. The push and pull. Cat and mouse. Angel and demon #Being lonely with each other. In a misguided attempt to keep each other safe #As i said ive only been thinking about it a lil bit not at all really haha x #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens gifs #aziraphale #gabriel #aziraphale fell #gomens #michael sheen #jon hamm #usersugar #tsusermels #userrlorelei #usereena #dailyineffablehusbands #my gifs

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

#writeblr #warm up #i can't write rn but i have SO much words in here bc im reading the chorus of dragons books #(just started book 4)#and this woman's writing is just LIVING in my brain. let me out!!!#(i read roughly like 2-4 books a week usually bc i go on long walks with my dog but when a book is REALLY good like. it eats my life. )#anyway ...... so like here's a story that idk i've tried to explain to other people as being wild #but maybe im the only one who thinks it is wild???#so i play pokemon go (i just started in jan) bc i love pokemon and as i have mentioned i walk goblin for like an hour in the morning #and i don't like a lot of fitness trackers due to the fact it makes me .sad. but i also wanted the little digital rewards. enter pokemon go #anyway so they make you make friends to complete quests. so i used a reddit thread. i do not usually use reddit. i don't have an acct #i lurked. i just googled like ''pokemon go reddit '' and randomly added a bunch of numbers #i was on that page for all of 15 minutes. there are THOUSANDS of responses on that page.#here's what's wild: in that group of people. even though i am not on reddit and it was one random event once #it turns out one of those people lives in the town i live in. or at least very close. i only know this because #when we send each other gifts. it's from the same freaking area.#i can't ask them to meet up bc pokemon go doesn't have a messaging app lol but like . what are the fucking chances that #a random person posts in a random reddit thread and HAPPENS to get added by someone ELSE from their SAME TOWN #who by pure fucking CHANCE is ALSO playing pokemon go and looking for friends #i googled it there's only 42000 people in my broad region. the .......... smallness ! of the world!!!

Hm... I'm feeling benevolent...

#every time i use the word 'benevolent' i remember that guy who called me 'sensei'???#because he asked me for a crit and i was basically like 'i really dont like your comic' but obviously constructively #and then he kept messaging me asking for more critique and i had to tell him to stop #and then he made a video review of my last comic and the whole review was like #'yeah so i havent really read this comic. looks pretty sick though. i basically harassed her and she had to say to stop lol'#anyways. that was weird. he used the word benevolent a lot so i always think of him. sending good vibes hope hes still making comics #oh yeah also this is kind of spoilers but not really #sorta like afterword stuff #gotta sketch gotta get into the mindset...#im not sure if that counts as spoilers at all lmfao its just minor design changes #anyways.#time and time again #spoilers #what the hell i typed 'spoilers' and '911 spoilers' was the first option??????#uh #adam and steve #ttawebcomic #sketches #sketch dump #these used to be patreon posts but its been like 5 months so. theyre free noe #the word 'benevolent' is literally an inside joke with myself now LOL

I have watched all of three episodes of House MD and I am delighted to report I am absolutely sold on this asshole and his secretly-just-enough-of-a-bastard best friend.

House: *says the most out of pocket sarcastic thing*

Wilson: *rolls with it without even blinking*

I see through you and what I see is love and devotion.

#i swear i didn't get into the show to add another ship to the circulation of seasonally recurring ships #i was told its a really good med drama and i had the opportunity and needed some background entertainment #but then these idiots have to be so utterly shippable---#wilson 'tricking' house into taking cases #house taking cases just because wilson asked (though he'd never admit that)#i am almost afraid of continuing the show for too long #because i can already smell the house/cuddy coming #oh well #i'll just enjoy my silliness until then #house md #hilson #house x wilson

astarion origin playthrough worth it just for all the extra moments where he does the "sad wet cat" face

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #astarion #*kisses his forehead* my awful little bastard man... i love you and your big sad watery eyes.#IT'S SO FUCKING QUIET THOUGH IF YOU YOURSELF ARE PLAYING HIM GOOD LORD #I'M SO USE TO HIM COMPLAINING TO MY TAV!!!!#OR BANTERING WITH HIM OR KARLACH OR WYLL!!!#I MISS HIS THEATRICS!!!!!!!#not that it's ENTIRELY quiet. until i found karlach i was travelling with shadowheart lae'zel and gale.#and let me tell you. gale and lae'zel do NOT shut the fuck up if they are together.#they were literally having an entire tinder date while we were trecking through the woods to go get karlach.#i NEVER knew they talk so much because while i've travelled with them individually in past saves...#...i've NEVER had them in my party at the same time!#gale is actually pretty nice to lae'zel! he asks a lot of questions but doesn't condescend her as he does others sometimes.#that's probably because he's afraid of her though. I would be too were I nothing more than a wizard with 8 strength.#I do like how you can look at pretty much any two companions and get a well written and generally enjoyable dynamic!#It feels like they considered that a lot of people would want to maybe pair off the companions they didn't romance with each other!#and wanted it to be easy for really any pairing to work... if a person just paid attention to their shared interactions.

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

made a d&d alignment chart thing for qsmp characters (template below the cut if you want to make your own). i have no real investment in these placings they're just what made sense to me

#bell.txt #qsmp #not uploading all the transparents though #if people really want all the ones i have you can ask and ill make an imgur link or something #anyway also i dont actually like dnd alignments for this kind of stuff #bc i feel like theres not actually that good of a spread #esp on a server with little pvp #hence the evil line being kind of lame and unpopulated #queersmp

It's been six months since Forever called Phil "Philza senpai" and got a (virtual) kiss.

#Philza #ForeverPlayerG #Forever Player #QSMP #Sugarduo #Forever #Phil #I'm not interested in sugarduo as a ship (one sided sugarduo is very funny to me though)#But their IRL and in-game friendship means the frickin WORLD to me dude #Forever was the first Brazilian streamer I got attached to and mannnn #it went from 0 to 100 in SECONDS #I'll be honest the first thing that got me was the day after the Brazilians arrived #when Phil was talking to Chat and telling us Forever messaged him after the event and asked him if he was ok with the flirting #since he didn't want to make Phil uncomfortable #and I was like ''Oh. Forever is a sweetheart.''#And then the thing that REALLY got me was when Forever talked to Chayanne and Tallulah privately #and he asked them if they / Phil needed help with their Egg tasks #(At the time their schedules weren't matching up with Phil's stream schedule so it was hard to get all their tasks done during the week)#and then Chayanne threatened Forever saying he'd kill Forever if he ever did anything weird to their family #and Forever smiled in a very fond ''that's good; this is a good kid; I'm glad he's standing up for his family'' way #And I was like ''Oh he's REALLY a sweetheart''#His reaction after Tallulah + Bobby's death was hook line and sinker for me too #I could go on and on about Forever.

i really wish we got the tf2 tv show because i think, about your talk about how pyro ends up being a foil to the other characters, pyro is such a wildcard of a character that if you need someone for an episode to complete a dynamic it's pyro. he's designated driver. he's the mcdonalds employee. he's scout's ma. she's helping miss p dismember bodies. it's coming in through the dog door

your ask got me thinking about how i'd use pyro in a show and IDK if anyone else has seen Solar Opposites but how they split the Pupa's screentime between A + B plots in the first/second season would be spot on the money for me. Pyro could be there, in the A plot, in small ways (like you said, at the back of the bus or en rotue to the episodes mission) but then gets sucked into a 'mundane' B plot for some tonal levity within the episode. Pyro's gotta run that FTSE 500 company! They've gotta seduce the Ballicorn comic writer in order to read the never-published final issue! They've gotta earn an Astrophysics PHD in order to steal their Professor's Pokemon topped pen....that sort of thing. And then occassionaly they can show up with the deus-ex-mechina for the episode with the rest of the team being none the wiser (other than vaguely baffled as their flamethrower could've REALLY come in handy fighting those haunted scarecrows).

#maybe not EVERY episode but you know...enough to be a thing perhaps #all the characters are so good though that TBH having any of them sucked into their own 'mundane' B plot is really funny to me #everyone gets abducted by aliens whilst spy runs a model village attraction in sweden in order to gain access to the australium its built o #the team deal with 'ironic curses' by merasmus whilst engineer engages in petty local politics in order to get a parking spot closer to the #hardware store #heavy enters an esparanto contest! the team get sent back in time!#those sort of episode descriptions on streaming services always crack me up #tf2 pyro #asks

atwow hot take:

if jake had said his "son for a son" shit out loud and spider had heard him, he would have been so beyond pissed, he would be seeing red.

spider loved his little siblings so much, neteyam included, even after they grew apart. he loved them like they were his own blood and protected them like they were too (we see a lot more of them together in the comics, where spider is the big brother without a doubt). neteyam's death most certainly rocked him hard, even if he hasn't really been able to show it (how could he? he's already going through all the shit with his dad and the RDA and their nonsense, he can't grieve around neytiri, he's just so tired after it all. he doesn't have the room or the energy to grieve yet)

so if jake had the audacity to say that to/around spider not even a few hours after he watched his little brother get shot after coming to save him, after he stared at the bullet hole in his back, after he watched him take his last breaths, after he watched the light leave his eyes, after he watched his little brother die for him; if he said that while his little brother's body lay in a pool of his own blood not even ten feet away, not even cold yet, blood still clinging to his chest, the scent of it still filling the air: he would have lost his shit.

because the disrespect for his brother is wild.

jake was an active player in spider's neglect and abuse for the last 16 years, he let it happen, he helped it happen. he tried to send spider with the humans, tried to take him away from his siblings, from the forests, from eywa to live with his foster family that didn't love him (not to mention Nash was an asswipe of epic proportions) and the RDA of all people. he had referred to spider as a stray animal since he was little. he was the reason spiders life was hell.

and after all that, years and years of putting him in shit positions and allowing him to suffer the fate of being forever unloved and uncared for (by an adult authority figure, cause I love the kids, but they don't make up for the gap left by a parent), this is what it took for jake to care about him? his little brother had to die in front of him first? he had to be traded out to fill the space of a corpse, to fill in the gap left by his little brother's death?

in canon, spider was in deep in shock with nothing to break him from it, he wasn't in the place to really think about any of it, and I'm sure we're gonna see this anger in the coming movies, but if jake had said it out loud, that would have been enough to snap spider right out of it, and he would have given jake a piece of his mind, I just know it.
