Thinking about a situation where SQQ gets a look at Luo Binghe's package (post-Abyss but pre-Maigu Ridge, or in an AU where Maigu Ridge doesn't happen) through like, the outline of his pants or whatever (maybe Binghe took a wardrobe tip from Jareth of Labyrinth), and then got to thinking about how huge Luo Binghe's meat is, like in an actually non-sexual way this time just his brain gets onto a tangent about a bunch of scenes from PIDW where the descriptions varied wildly, and then he starts wondering about exactly what size it is, because to go by the novel's descriptions it's either bigger than average but not insane or there's another arm stuffed into that codpiece somehow. Surely it's closer to the former than the latter? SQQ doesn't have any other evidence that physical limitations in this world are that different from his own world, but then again, would it come up in any of his conversations if women in this world have sufficiently cavernous vaginas for damn near every virgin Bingge met to accommodate a dick that big? Does it at least make childbirth easier? He hasn't exactly polled anyone on it, so it could be the case. But what about the back door, so to speak? There were a few sex scenes that went in that direction, forbidden tunnel of love type stuff and it was all incredibly bad and cheesy, but of course, SQQ actually has a "back door" too and surely he would notice if it was possible to stick his own arm up it. Although it's also not as if he's tried, and as a peak lord with a fantasy metabolism he doesn't actually have to take a shit either, his body processes everything extremely efficiently and it's been years since... well anyway it's not like he's had occasion to investigate it much, now that he's thinking about it. Maybe he can? Not that this is relevant information to anything though and given the inconsistencies the probable limitations of the numerous people PIDW Binghe had sex with, his package, though prodigious, is probably not actually that big of a weapon. How could he even comfortably keep it contained otherwise...? Etc etc etc.

Meanwhile the entire time he's having this internal spiel, he's just... staring. At Luo Binghe's dick. Really blatantly. It doesn't even occur to him that he's doing something incriminating about his interests or possible attraction precisely because he's not, for once, getting flustered about it (much) but is in fact genuinely vexed by the mystery. This is not so much a case of imagining Luo Binghe's dick as wondering about fantasy physiology. So he's lost track of where his gaze has wandered.

The longer it goes on for though the more flustered Luo Binghe gets though. Like, should he say something? Is this a prelude to Shizun making a move? Is there... something wrong with it? Why is he staring so intently? Is Shizun aware that he has just been looking straight at Luo Binghe's dick for almost ten minutes now...? He should definitely say something, right? Maybe this is his chance! Or maybe he should wait and see what Shizun does next? Should he try a line? Something suave? Ask if he wants to see it! Shizun can absolutely see Binghe's dick if he wants to! No wait, but what if Shizun is planning on making a move and he ruins it by being impatient? He should wait and see where this is going.

...How long is it going to take, though...?

Luo Binghe's brain frazzles between trying to decide if he should make a move or prepare to be receptive towards one, or maybe check and make sure his dick hasn't turned into tentacle or something without him noticing, while Shen Qingqiu slooowly (very slowly) begins to realize that yes, he has been staring at Luo Binghe's dick while lost in thought for such a long time that now it's weird. It's definitely weird. He should look away now, at once, except now if he stops staring at Binghe's dick it's going to end whatever stalemate this is and he's probably going to have to explain why he was ogling it in the first place, and he definitely cannot explain anything, so he just keeps staring while furiously trying to think of a non-gay explanation for why he's now glaring intensely at Luo Binghe's crotch.

...He can't think of anything. Oh god. This is a disaster. Luo Binghe is going to kill him for being a perve!

(Good luck, Binghe.)

#svsss #bingqiu #scum villain's self saving system #long post #I imagine this goes on for so long that they actually get interrupted before either one of them breaks the tension #sqq: oh thank god hopefully binghe will just forget about this whole thing haha it never happened it definitely never happened #lbh: is definitely not going to forget about this #is in fact going to fixate on it forever now thanks #is already trying to figure out how to ask what sqq thinks of his dick #is going to keep wearing the david bowie pants until it happens again for sure #sqq being conscious of what happened is now NOT looking in that direction at all ever again nope #the farce continues

We sinners and people all over want to know if those children belong in the LOS. by u/Technical_Ant_7466

We sinners and people all over want to know if those children’ belong in the LOS. There are so many questionable behaviours surrounding the two Meghan’s. There’s still a nagging question as to whether the California sprogs belong in the LOS.In a constitutional monarchy the rule of law is paramount as is who is eligible to be in the LOS.——————————-The ILBW had honed her fake smiles and silly ingenue mannerisms to marry a title, a walking, talking chequebook with the intellectual capacity of a particularly slow gumball machine. Poor Prince of the planks got engaged to her faster than the speed of light. She rudely announced her megnancy at Eugenie’s wedding , October 22, 2018.It didn’t take her long to start sporting strategically placed moonbumps. The truth, about her megnancies resides in a sterile clinic somewhere in the UK & LA, where surrogates , were carefully vetted and signed rock solid NDA’s.I’m sure the surrogates were well-compensated.There was a catch, of course and that was that in order to be in the LOS children HAD TO BE “ BORNE OF THE BODY”.TW, ever the opportunist, wasn't about to let a measly technicality like childbirth stand between her and a lifetime of money and fame. Moonbumps became her constant companions, growing and varying in size witheach passing month.The inconsistencies and irregularities where an orchestrated charade . The birth, a carefully orchestrated production, brought forth a healthy baby , with no witnesses and wildly varying stories about the hospital, the birth & accompanying legal documents.Moonbumps were hastily discarded,replaced by a parade of nannies who did theactual child-rearing but never stayed employed for long. The ILBW, spoiled and entitled, is a walking advertisement for the downside of unearned wealth.The ILBW and dimwit were secretly indifferent to the LOS rules , focused on expanding the family, adding a girl (another courtesy of the surrogate) to the family, and dishonestly said they had permission to call her Lilibet.( BBC proved that no such permission was given.The charade continued, a web of lies spun and children have never been seen.They could have come clean, and explained the surrogacy, but it wouldn't have suited her. The truth meant less control, less power. Besides, what kind of gold digger admits she doesn't even like children?Now ,as the rumours won’t stop what will they do?They’ve lost everything. That should include the inviskids place in the LIS, unless it can be proven that they belong there beyond a shadow of a doubt.The RF pretty much has said , visit the UK but only with the kids. They’ve never taken the kids to the UK.By now the RF knows that people have seen the crack in her/ their carefully constructed facade. The consequences of her lies SHOULD cost her the one thing she truly cares about: money. The story of the ILBW, the ultimate gold digger, chose to lie about baring children .If she really wanted children she would have admitted using a surrogate.If however, as I suspect she faked her megnancy because she was more interested in being the “mother “of heirs to the throne, and not because she loved and wanted children unconditionally, the Harkles are in a jam (no pun intended).She has no interest in being these children’s mom, not now when she knows it’s just a matter of time before all is revealed.They too will be discarded, as are all people in her life that are no longer useful.PS: Did you know she told Trevor she didn’t want children?Did you know she made her ex husband Trevor sign a pregnancy contract?⬇️https://ift.tt/4aDE0Nf post link: https://ift.tt/aVpOKHi author: Technical_Ant_7466 submitted: May 02, 2024 at 03:08AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

Reflections on the show

So it's been a week since I finished Season 1, and I've had some time to reflect on it, read/watch other people's reactions, and gather my thoughts.

Actors great, characters inconsistent I want to say that all the actors were well-cast for the show. They did excellent work bringing the scripts to life. The trouble was, the writing sometimes had them playing wildly different characters. Sam Reid makes an excellent Lestat, when the script let's him play Lestat. Louis is sometimes philosophical, detached, and refined. Sometimes he's coarse, direct and irreverent. Yes, characters can change and no one is just one thing. But there was no clear arc, they seemed to flip-flop episode to episode. Lestat is sometimes recognizable as his impulsive, needy, theater-kid self, and sometimes he's a cold, calculating chessmaster. I want to be clear I do not expect the characters to be good people. These are vampires, and I expect them to act monstrously. But with book Louis, I have a basic idea how he might react to different situations- when he might be passive, when he might snap and act out, what might upset him and what he doesn't care about. This Louis? No idea. He's fine with eating humans until he isn't six years later, he'll delight without any hesitation in murdering people who made racist remarks, but is too squeamish to enact his own plan (because it's his now) to kill evildoers, in the modern day he no longer kills but gives the 'alpha predators' speech.

What did y'all do to the family dynamic In my initial reviews, I noted the 4th episode was the first that really felt like the Louis-Lestat-Claudia dynamic I expected. And I think it's because it's the only episode that didn't decide that Lestat just hates Claudia from the very beginning. All the other episodes lean hard into the idea that Lestat never wanted to make Claudia at all, is constantly happy when she leaves/trying to drive her away, wouldn't want her back if not for Louis, and is barely tolerating her very existence for Louis, and would hurt/kill her if he could. Now, in the books, their relationship obviously sours- she kills him, after all. But they do have a genuine love and respect, and it is in the hope of repairing the decaying relationship and 'making peace' that Lestat accepts her gift of poisoned blood.

Pick a lane/Easter eggs are not adaptation points I think a big reason the characters flip-flop around so much is that the show is trying to tell two stories. One is the story of a Jazz-age queer Black man discovering vampirism as a possible escape from the restraints of society. One is Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, with it's plot beats of Louis, Lestat and Caludia. And since the first is pretty different from the second, anytime the show has to switch tracks, it introduces sharp turns and inconsistencies. The crew promised easter eggs for book fans and sometimes it seems like easter eggs are all there is. "Look, Lestat said Savage Garden! He mentioned his mastiff! Nicolas name drop!" which ended up feeling almost distracting. A metaphor for adaptations:

The original books: A black forest cake. Rich and dark and bittersweet. A classic that is iconic and famous, though definitely not for everyone.

The 1994 movie: A black forest cupcake. A little condensed, a little different. Smaller in size, so it's not the full experience. But in flavor and structure, it's a pretty close match for the original.

The musical: A black forest cocktail. Structurally, this is a very different experience. If you don't like cocktails/alcohol in general, than you probably don't want your cake in cocktail form. But if you do, then it's pretty decent! There's a clear attempt to get the essence of the taste across, and for some people (like me) it can be a wonderful way to immerse oneself in the same flavors in a different way.

QOTD movie: Cherry cheesecake that's gone bad/old. First of all this isn't even close to the original, and second of all you cared about it so little that it's gone sour and even people who might like cheesecake probably don't want this.

The show: Black forest (brand) gummy bears. This is clearly just a different thing. It can be really good as it's own thing! No having the brand-name black forest does not make it the same. No, it doesn't particularly help that some of the gummy bears are cherry flavored and black forest cake also has cherries. No it would not help to dip the gummy bears in dark chocolate.

Let's not "secret good fourth Sherlock episode" ourselves I've seen some theories that the discrepancies in Season 1 are deliberate, due to unreliable narrators, or Armand's mental influence. The trailers for season 2 so far certainly seem to lean into that, with the repeated memory theming. It's possible they'll pull something off with this. But I'm also hesitant to accept it as a blanket excuse. Even if they do retcon some of these details later...why? How is that any better than an "it was all a dream" excuse? Why should I, as a viewer, remain emotionally invested in the show if, at any moment, I could be told none of that happened? Twists and reveals can be good, but they can't be everything. 'Don't worry, season 2 will explain season 1' is not very promising for season 1 as a story.

Concerns about Season 2 I'm going to watch season 2. I have to, the same way I watched the QOTD movie knowing I'd dislike it. I'm curious to see what they do, and if nothing else, I might get some Nicolas images out of it. From what I've seen of Joseph Potter, I believe he can act Nicolas very well...if the script lets him. I'm also concerned about escalation. Everything in blood and violence was dialed up to 11. In the books, Lestat hits Louis (when Louis interrupts his feeding on Freniere) in the show, it's an extended beating. He punches through the priest's brains, and drops Louis out of the sky. In discussion with someone, I described this as "Lestat acting like Armand" since that kind of roof-dropping is literally a thing Armand does. And if they keep Armand's role as the 'villain' of IWTV/TVL, I'm concerned to what levels of extremity they'll have to push him in comparison.

GODZILLA MOVIE MARATHON: Godzilla vs Hedorah (1971)

We now begin the Champion sub-era of the Showa films, which were a series of movies made on spectacularly low budgets for the Toho Champion Festival. All the 70s Showa movies fall under this sub-era and are mainly known for really going hard on Godzilla basically just being a big and goofy superhero for kids.

That's probably why, among many other things, this movie stands out like a kaiju sized black sheep. With Honda having left the company and Tsuburaya passed away, it was time for Godzilla to be inherited by an entirely new talent. Yoshimitsu Banno came on board to direct, and his... let's say "stylistic" direction is what makes this movie so unique.

I have said before that Godzilla movies have to strike a balance between the human plot and the kaiju scenes, and you get the best results when the kaiju are front and center in the narrative even when it's just the people on screen. In that sense Godzilla vs Hedorah is a masterpiece. There is no lollygagging around, every single scene with a human is either them talking about Hedorah or them about to be slimed by Hedorah. It's oppressive, there is no love triangle side plot or company parties going on here, every second you are thinking about Hedorah and what it might do next.

Hedorah itself may just be the most dangerous Godzilla enemy ever. It straight up skeletonizes Godzilla's hand! This is really the first time we get to see some actual damage get dealt to Goji's body, the searing steam and sound that comes every time Godzilla gets shot with sludge and the painful looking scar tissue they apply to the suit makes it clear, for seemingly the first real time of the series, that Godzilla may straight up die in this fight. The extra threat of it with humans, one of the few times besides the original Godzilla where we see a kaiju directly killing someone, and how tough a time Godzilla has fighting it definitely means Hedorah leaves a strong impression. It's straight up a horror movie monster. I love the end with Godzilla tearing apart and stomping on his corpse, you can just hear him screaming "fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU!"

The main takeaway from this movie for most people is that it's just really weird. There's odd cutes, nonsensical scenes, inconsistent pacing, the music and sound effects randomly come in and out, and the music is laughably brass. Add on some wild tone inconsistency with things like brutal deaths and longs shots of corpses in the same movie as Godzilla flying like a rocket, and you've got an experience that feels like a pretentious studio film infected a kid's movie.

And, with all of that, I absolutely adore it. Genuinely it is a wildly entertaining breath of fresh air after the last two duds and one of my favorite Showa movies. Tanaka may have hated it and backlisted Banno from ever making another Godzilla movie, but it gets an 8/10 from me.

Welp! We had the Forgers as Mewtwos! Now we have Bond as a VERY small Psychic/Normal-Type Stoutland! Also, when I was looking up Stoutland on Google for reference, I noticed that its size is wildly inconsistent!! I thought Stoutland would be HUGE because, you know, it's a Ride Pokémon in the games. You ride on it's back to look for items! But then the anime shows it to be REALLY small. I mean, it's big by DOG standards, but I imagined Stoutland to be a horse-sized dog! Where's my fluffy steed?! Oh well, at least he's big enough for Anya! 😊

Thoughts on 20min Vs 45min Vs 60min episodes?

lmaooo i love this question!!

to me the 20-24 minutes is the perfect episode time. so easily digestible. an entire little arc in a bite sized piece. you can watch an episode in the morning or before bed or during lunch and like barely any time has passed! anime has perfected this i feel.

whether the episode is 45 mins or an hour, there’s not much difference between those to me. if the show is good with good pacing and an engaging story, i hardly notice that the episodes are so long. tho it does make it a greater undertaking/commitment if i decide to watch an episode. and if the pacing is particularly slow or the story is boring, i can really feel it.

what i actually hate is when a show is like 35 minutes. like what is that. it’s not enough time to breathe but too much time to have a tight story. disney+ shows do this a lot. i’ve always suspected it was because they don’t want to pay for a full 45 min-1 hr episode. and the other annoying thing is how wildly inconsistent it is between episodes. some are 30 mins others are 50. please pick one. the other end of this is when episodes are like 1.5+ hrs. i’m sorry that’s not an episode that is a movie. why am i watching 8 movies in a row. netflix is especially guilty of this with stranger things. why was the new season SO LONG like it had no reason to be. it ended up resulting in so much unnecessary cruft and absolutely none of the story felt tight because it was allowed to be as long as it wanted with no one restricting them. not only that but nothing about it is actually episodic, it’s just one long movie that’s meant to be binged. it feels like streaming is ruining tv in this sense bc there are no restrictions when imo restrictions force you to decide what’s necessary, think outside the box, and breeds creativity. tv for years perfected the art of the 24 minute of 45 minute episode but now people are just doing whatever they want and it’s the wild west out here!

#ty for this ask i actually have many opinions about this subject lol #ask #rome tag

Elite WAG Video Performance Finding Aide Project: An Update

I posted about this project last month (and I likely still have months to go before it's finished) but I thought I'd post the work in progress for people to look over and spot any errors (given the size of the document and the number of entries I'm bound to have made several).

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E5xO-lfdYnK-vls4WC6K9lLj_AmReXWFbt3pQ-vLwnI/edit?usp=sharing

So what is this? Well I have gone through every elite meet on youtube that I could find through 2000 put an entry under the name of a gymnast if they appear in that meet video. It will give you a link to the video on youtube (not time stamped because this is already insanity) as well as the language the commentary is in if it has commentary and in some cases the broadcaster.

Here is an example of a relatively short entry:

Li Yan (CHN)

1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships TO. Part 2. English Commentary. Eurosport. 1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships TO. English Commentary. ESPN. 1989 DTB Pokal AA. German Commentary. 1991 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships EF Day 1. English Commentary. Eurosport. 1991 Chunichi Cup EF. Japanese Commentary. 1991 Tokyo Cup. Japanese Commentary.

And here is another example of an entry that includes NCAA:

Leah Homma (CAN) / UCLA

1989 Canadian Gymnastics Championships. English Commentary. CTV. 1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships TO. Part 1. English Commentary. Eurosport. 1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships TO. English Commentary. ESPN. 1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships AA. English Commentary. Eurosport. 1990 USSR vs The World. English Commentary. CBC. 1995 Pac-10 Conference Championships. English Commentary. ESPN. 1995 NCAA National Championships. English Commentary. CBS. 1996 Pac-10 Conference Championships. English Commentary. 1996 NCAA National Championships. English Commentary. CBS. 1997 NCAA National Championships. English Commentary. CBS.

The goal would be two fold: First for fans to be able have a location to find all the meets their favorite gymnasts were in and follow their career even in smaller meets they may not know existed or didn't know were available. The second is to give a place for gymnasts who may not know bits of their elite careers survived to find it. The example I've been giving is that during the Spanish broadcast of the 1982 World Cup they aired a floor routine of a Yugoslav gymnast (it was held in Yugoslavia and she was the highest placed local gymnast though she finished far down in the standings). When I cross referenced her name to make sure it was spelled correctly I didn't find anything about her as a gymnast but I did find her as a Slovenian philosophy professor. There is no reason to think she'd have any idea that a tiny bit of her teenage sport was preserved in Spain and then put up on youtube.

With that second goal in mind I have tried to use the most correct spelling of names I could (with the understanding that this is an English document) including the dialectic marks that are often stripped off names by foreign broadcasters and the FIG. I've used what I believe is the most common transliterated spellings but offer alternatives in the "aka" line so that someone can search the document for a gymnast and still find their entries.

What do I need help in? Well I'd appreciate it if people (especially non english speakers familiar with your country's gymnasts) could check and make sure I have people's names spelled correctly. This is really important to me.

I am particularly worried about Chinese gymnasts who even through the 1980s often had their names spelled wildly differently by different broadcasters. The document uses family name first for Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Hungarian gymnasts but some of the broadcasts I was using were very inconsistent about figuring out what that might be.

I am additionally very worried that I've simply listed South and Central American gymnasts by the wrong family name. I have had family who lived in Mexico so I know in general how at least Mexican family names work but I very much do not trust the various international gymnastics meets to have used the correct names (I'm looking at you 1999 Pan Ams that I know massacred Latin American names).

If you are just looking to use the document you are welcome to do so, gymnasts are listed first by their name and country code, a line with alternate names for that gymnast such as marriage and hyphenated names as well as including alternate transliterations if they appeared at major championships under that spelling. There are NCAA post season meet entries (conference championships, regionals/nationals) but only for gymnasts who were already in the document from elite meets. The idea of the NCAA entries is a bonus so that people can follow a career and I have some Bundesliga meet video that I will use the same way.

The goal of this project will be to reach the current time. After I'm done in data collection I intend to put things into a spreadsheet form so people can download and sort it however interests them but for now it's easier for me to compile in this form.

may’s almost over and goshdarnit I’m not letting another one go by with these old WIPs still lying around... so just take em as they are :V

mer-Bats would prolly be some kinda funky prehistoric sea creature that rescues people from shipwrecks and brings em shiny stuff off the ocean floor. he’s kinda lonely and humans are fascinating to him, so he’s usually not far off when one needs help. some seek him out specifically to scavenge lost cargo or even go pearl diving for them.

(also ningen Dingbats, some sassters, and generic mermaid AU Gaster for your viewing mispleasure)

Clone Handwriting Headcanons

Does anyone else ever think about the handwriting of the Clones? Surely Kamino has a standardized font they teach cadets, like a formal cursive, but once they get out of Kamino I can very easily see it branching off into wildly different directions.

I’ll be talking about the High Galactic alphabet (or the Latin Alphabet, as we know it).

Lots of clones deliberately stretch out their letters to be taller, because it mimics the highly vertical font of Mando’a.

Clone Commanders who work closely with Jedi tend to pick up handwriting habits from them.

Cody has very formal, readable handwriting, but he accidentally picked up General Kenobi’s weird E’s somewhere along the way.

Kel Dor language pairs lots of smooth curves and sharp corners, which carries into General Plo’s High Galactic. Wolffe decides he likes the look, but his writing also has sharper angles and is more vertical then his general’s.

Both Anakin and Ahsoka canonically write in all caps & Rex finds himself slipping more and more capital letters into his handwriting as the war goes on.

Echo is generally very by the book at first, but after Skako & joining the Batch, his writing becomes much messier. He genuinely just doesn’t care anymore.

Fives is wonderful at mimicking other people’s handwriting! He can forge signatures too.

Jessie has decent handwriting with a significant left slant, but it gets messy and uneven when he’s tired. He once tried writing in all caps like General Skywalker but hated it, and switched back almost immediately.

Kix and all the other GAR medics appropriately have terrible handwriting that only the other medics can understand.

Dogma’s handwriting is pristine & textbook, but who would expect anything less?

The Corrie Guard probably has the strictest rules when it comes to handwriting.

They work closely with the senators and with the chancellor so their writing is fairly standardized, but there are still little tells.

Fox’s is the most precise, naturally, but it tends to run smaller just because of how much he has to write.

Thire crosses his 7s and his Zs.

Thorn has a small loop on the curved tail of his Ys. He picked it up from Senator Amidala.

Hound’s is just a smidge larger then his brothers’.

When Stone is writing, the words are slightly larger and the spaces in between words are slightly further apart.

But these are minute differences, nearly invisible acts of rebellious individuality - someone not deliberately looking wouldn’t be able to spot the difference.

The Bad Batch’s handwriting is all over the place.

Hunter writes with heavy pressure on the pen. He doesn’t really like writing, so his words are scribbled fast and tend to run together just to get it over with sooner. He does like twirling his pen though.

Tech’s handwriting is almost completely illegible - he writes too fast for it to be neat. If that wasn’t bad enough, he frequently switches languages mid-sentence to better express what he means & his writing scatters across his pages (and onto tables and walls) instead of writing on the lines.

Crosshair has sharp, vertical handwriting with very few curves or loops - he likes angles and sharp turns. He also dots his Is with an x instead of a dot.

Wrecker has childish handwriting. His letter sizing is very inconsistent and his words tend to float above the line.

Bonus: Omega’s handwriting was standard clone handwriting, but also had tells of working heavily with written Kaminoan. After being adopted, she began to deliberately mimic Hunter’s handwriting.

Blupjeans and 55!!

55. "Oh, I love how dramatic this is."

"Oh, I love how dramatic this is," Lup said as they stepped out of the elevator, which was never a good sign. Barry followed behind her, poking his head into the suite.

Dramatic was... a word for it.

There was a part of Barry that loved being known as one of the saviors of the universe. It was the part of him that liked free stuff and gifts and he was getting pretty used to all the adoring fans, with Lup's help. Being known as "The Lover" definitely wasn't the worse thing he could be labeled as- he still winced hearing anyone define Davenport as "The Wordless One", but that was beside the point. Being The Lover™ (Taako made him trademark it) definitely had its perks, but.

Well. Then things like this happened. When you just wanted to go on a nice holiday with your wife and instead of just a master suite, you got shot up to the top floor of the resort and placed into The Lovers Suite (Barry was sure there was a trademark on this, as well. It went unsaid, really.).

It was red. Very red, in a romatic way, not in a children's hospital way. There were hearts of various sizes adorning the walls and rose petals scattered around like they were actually some sort of decoration. There was a big fireplace, which was already lit, and a few cozy couches. This suite was more of a penthouse, honestly. There was a hallway where he could see the entrance of a kitchen, and then a few more doors leading elsewhere.

Fuck, had they given him a discount? This had only been like, two hundred gold. He should have given them more. He's gonna give them more.

"It's, uh, it's very to the point," Barry offered and Lup grinned at him.

"We could have used this hint in cycle forty-three, yeah?" Lup said and Barry balanced, remembering the lavish, but not nearly as extravagant, lover's suite they had been placed in on a world called Amantis. Fitting, really. They had tried to get a different room, but the attendant said they were all booked up otherwise. Barry had a feeling the attendant somehow knew more than they had let on about Barry and Lup's, uh. Predicaments.

That night, he had slept with Lup pressed up against his back and woke up with his head against her shoulder. It had been eye-opening. He had almost kissed her, then, but Lup had excused herself very quickly to the bathroom.

And it still took him another four fucking years to confess.

"Oh, definitely, yeah," Barry said. And then, "uh, remember that you had to go to the bathroom real bad when we woke up?"

"Oh, I didn't," Lup said easily. "I was just trying not to kiss you. I don't know if you've noticed, Care-Bar, I've got some wildly inconsistent impulse control."

"Fuck," Barry said, face burning. "I was trying not to kiss you."

"No shit?" Lup asked and Barry shook his head. "Well, fuck, babe, that's another point on the idiot board for both of us."

"I think the idiot board has run out of room to mark down any new points," Barry grumbled, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face in her neck. "I coulda kissed you so much sooner."

"Babe," Lup said and he could hear the grin in her voice. "Do you have a crush on me?"

"Absolutely, I do," Barry said seriously, leaning up and kissing her.

a theory of everything

featuring: albedo x gn!reader

warnings: slight existentialism

published: august 11, 2021

form: imagine

a/n: this is very much so based off of the movie, “a theory of everything”, and if you’ve seen it, you’ll recognize this scene. this is also a continuation of some of those fairytale type headcanons i made some time ago :)

the wind was comfortably warm that day, as mondstadt made its way smoothly from spring into summer. the leaves on the trees had fully regrown after the bitter winter, and some of the summer blossoms had begun to bud on the branches once again. the morning dew on the grass was still fresh, as you and your master, albedo, affectionately known as the city’s kreideprinz, made your way up to starsnatch cliff.

“dont dawdle, [y/n]”, albedo had called out to you, as he proceeded with remarkable speed up the sloped cliff. you tried not to straggle but still couldn’t keep up with your teacher’s speed. “yes, sir”, you called back, suppressing your gasps for air. the altitude certainly thinned out the air, making your surroundings appear as something of an iridescent blur.

he made another few scribbles on his paper before he set down his pen. albedo rotated in his seat to face you, giving you his same composed, flat expression you had come to know so well. "merely what i see."

you had expected a more in-depth answer, though you supposed your expectations may have been too high. "and what is it that you see?", you pressed further.

he looked at you for a moment, then turned back to face the landscape that he was trying to emulate on paper. "i see thousands of years of rock that has been eroded by waterflow over time. i see water that flows in from the sea. i see a cumulonimbus clouds, with a scattering of cirrus a few miles away." he turned back to face you, almost expectantly.

he was met with a drawn-out groan from you, as you collapsed back onto the grass, disappointed. "why must you be so clinical?" you looked up at the cumulonimbi albedo had pointed out. you suddenly became more aware of their massive size.

"it is a part of my scientific examination, [y/n]", you heard albedo say, as if it was a matter of fact. "to be able to draw something is to be able to understand its physical form and composition." he paused a moment. "not to mention the creation of art is one of the pillars of human existence."

you let out a chuckle, albeit somewhat cynically. classic albedo, the kreideprinz, forever on his scientific quest to decipher the foundations of humanity and teyvat and whatnot. though you had a respect for the study of alchemy and the pursuits of your master, your outlook on the nature of the world was much simpler. the clouds in the sky were indeed collections of vaporized water hovering in the lower atmosphere, but they were also blobs that oddly resembled whopperflowers. some things could not be explained, and for some reason, that was comforting to you.

"well then", you began, in a mood to challenge albedo further. if not to glean knowledge from, what else would he be good for? you chuckled internally at your own precociousness. "do you believe the world was created? or perhaps, it created itself?" you were confident you had stumped him this time.

another silence befell albedo, but he continued his drawing. "i suppose i do not have a definite answer." you congratulated yourself silently. "although", albedo began again, "if my research and observations do not lie, neither teyvat nor celestia could have been formed intelligently. too much chaos, too much inconsistency exists to assume an intelligent creator." he paused for a moment. "that is precisely why alchemy exists. it is a desperate attempt to control the entropy of the world we live in."

a moment passed, until you propped yourself back on your arms, and looked upon your master's back. albedo's blond hair, usually neat and tied back, adorned with a braid, was now unkempt after having been ruffled by the hours of wind that had blown across the cliff you sat atop. "i disagree", you retorted, which clearly got albedo's attention. he put his pen down and swiveled back around to face you, inquisitively.

"pray tell", he replied. "what is your reasoning?"

you cleared your throat with as much self-important pomp as you could muster. "well", you started, looking albedo directly in the eyes. "i don't think such overwhelming beauty could have been created by anything other than an intelligent being!" you gestured wildly to your general surroundings with the passion of an artist showing off their work. "why, just look at the trees over there! and the grass, and the flowers. and the cliffs and ocean! and you, especially you, master albedo." he held your gaze as you spoke. "don't you suppose you are the most beautiful out of them all?"

the sun had extended beyond its peak, as the late afternoon light began to drench the world in a honey-colored light. your eyes looked into albedo’s sapphire ones, yet you couldn’t make out what was transpiring behind them. he was the eternal enigma, you supposed. moreso than the world you both lived in. perhaps your brazen speech had scared him off. giving up, you plopped back down into the grass, once again, staring up at the warm sky. maybe if you made yourself as small as possible, you could pretend nothing had happened.

that was until you heard the sound of footsteps traipsing across thick grass, light but steady, approaching you. you held your breath unconsciously. a heavy weight sank down gently next to yours, without warning. then, you felt cold fingers softly brush against your own, as they intertwined themselves between your knuckles and held your hand securely. smiling to yourself, you held it back.

a/n: this is the sweetest thing i’ve written in a while; i really like it :)

It Was the Kid’s Idea

Valentine’s Day Imagine

Pairing: Mando x Reader

Word Count: 2k

Warnings: none; pure fluff

Request: “Hi! I saw that you wanted to inspo for Valentines fics! What about if Valentine’s Day is a really big thing on the reader’s planet and Mando is trying their best to impress them or make them feel at home since they’re always traveling? 🥺🥺 something like that!!”

A/N: Thank you so much @poeandstuff for the inspo! I couldn’t stop thinking about this all weekend- just the imagine of Mando and Grogu making homemade Valentine’s and decorations got in my head and just ughh it’s too cute to put into words.

I hope you all enjoy!! And thank you so much for reading!!

“I was hoping you’d know how to do this,” Din grumbles, frustrated as he messes up for the millionth time to cut out a perfect heart from the red paper in front of him.

The child only coos in response, his little hands covered in glue and glitter and he looks up to Din. “Oh no,” Din says at the sight of the little monster, “Come ‘ere you.” Scooping up the child, he brings him from their seats on boulders outside and into the ship, to clean the little guy’s hands.

“I just don’t understand why it’s so messy,” he grumbles, helping the little guy. He began to start feeling stressed, because he knew you’d be back to the ship at nightfall and nothing he planned was ready.

For the past two weeks of your travels, you’ve done nothing but talk about this holiday Din had never heard of but was the biggest day for celebration on your home planet. You babbled on and on about the origins and the traditions, and he knew you were homesick thinking about not being there this year. He may have faked annoyance, but he did love to hear everything you wanted to share with him. He made mental notes of every detail you described.

Now he’s desperately trying his best to get the ship ready to surprise you. The last stop before this planet, he picked up all the supplies he thought he would need. Pulling things together would be easy, he thought. Now, the man is feeling foolish because an impressive bounty hunting resumè and growing up under Mandolorian Creed, doesn’t teach you about frivolous holidays- Nevermind the crafting skills to make the decorations yourself.

He received the weirdest looks from the people selling in the market, when a fully armored Mandolorian and a green baby were buying red and pink paper, glitter, string, lace, candles, and everything else you mentioned people would decorate with. If he kept it simple, he thought he could decorate the ship when you were away and surprise you when you returned.

The actual day arrived and Din sent you into town to receive parts he had ordered for the crest. He knew it would take several hours and figured he’d have plenty of time. But now, every heart he tries to make is lopsided and he can’t keep the kid out of the containers of glitter.

The image of the ship in his head he was trying to achieve for you involved hanging strings of lights outside and around the inside of the crest along with strings of pink and red hearts. The lights were no problem and they were already done. He had soft yellow lights hanging from the outside door of the ship and also around the walls of the inside.

Now his finished string of messy little hearts would have to be good enough. He had just finished putting it together when he caught the little guy covered in the mess. Once the kid was cleaned up as best Din could get him, he’d need to make sure to ask you how to clean up the glitter mess in the ‘fresher. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t seem to get it all. You’d know what to do, he thought.

Now he brings the kid back outside and places him on the grass. He had cut out a red heart and hands it to Grogu, also giving him some other supplies. “Make (y/n) something nice,” Din instructs and then stars hanging up the many strings of hearts he’s made. He places some in the nearby trees and then places them around the ship. They hang from the ceiling and look like they are somehow magically floating there.

Despite the hearts being wildly inconsistent in size and shape, Din actually was feeling proud of himself. He couldn’t wait but see the look on your face when you see he tried to bring your home planet to you. The Mandolorian harbored feelings for you for a very long time and as you told him about this holiday, he thought it was the perfect opportunity to show you how he felt.

“It’s really all about showing someone how much you care for them and appreciate them,” you had explained. “It’s a day of celebrating love.”

He even went out very early this morning before you awoke and bought several large bouquets of white, yellow and pink flowers. You said when you have someone as a Valentine you got them a gift, lots of times flowers and chocolates. Din had no idea how many flowers were needed to satisfy tradition so he decided to play it safe and get at least 10 dozen from the flower vendor. He figured that would have to be good enough. He had hidden them on the other side of the ship, so when you left you wouldn’t see them bunched up outside.

Now he went back and forth from his hiding place, bringing the flowers up to the front. He used them to line the ramp of the crest and still had two bunches left over, one he could give you and one he could have the kid give you. Looking back at his son, Din sighed, seeing the heart was covered in a mound of glitter and ribbon shreds at least the same height as the child. Picking it up and dumping the loose product into the jar carefully, it looked like a heart again, a heart that had been decorated by a toddler with three fingers.

“You did good, kid,” Din says, patting the little guy on the head affectionately, before bringing it over to a rock to dry. He looked up, seeing that the sun was beginning to set and you’d be back soon. He was incredibly nervous, and he began to doubt himself. He felt responsible for you not being home to celebrate and he wanted to see you happy. If he could’ve, he would’ve gone off course to bring you home. For a while, he was trying to do make it happen. However, the most recent puck was too much to pass on. He hoped the little thing he threw together here would be good enough for you.

He scooped up the child before he caught the frog he had been chasing. Holding him tightly in one arm, he grabbed the homemade valentine in the other. He had planned his entrance for when you would get back. He’d just be casual, and walk out with the kid like nothing was happening. He also figured this way; he wouldn’t have to face you and he could watch your reaction from the safety of inside the ship. It was stupid, but he was so nervous. He was so worried he’d be rejected. He had no idea if his feelings were reciprocated. In his head, this was the perfect plan, but now his heart is in his stomach.

“Din, I’m almost back,” your voice rang in his ear from his Commlink. “I’ll be able to see the ship just about… whoa.”

Panicked, Din froze in place for a moment. He was too scared to walk out and face you, until he felt the kid hitting at the chest plate of his armor. He pulled himself together and mustered out the courage to go out and face the consequences of his foolish actions.

“Din, what is this?” you ask, marveling at the beautiful decorations- your own little Valentine’s Day celebration in the middle of the forest. You were almost convinced it wasn’t real and you were hallucinating.

“I mean, it was the kid’s idea,” Mando said hurriedly, trying to play it off. The little guy babbling nonsense like he was swearing to his father’s lie. He waved the red card in his hand frantically, more glitter falling off and getting everywhere.

“Oh really?” You say with an eyebrow raised, placing your packages from town down on the ground. “And was he the one who put this all together?” You ask, seeing how as soon as Mando releasing him, he just walks in a circle, fascinated by his own little shadow.

“Yeah,” Mando responded tentatively, “I mean it kind of just appeared. I don’t know.”

You couldn’t contain the smile forming on your face. You were beyond touched that he would do this for you, even though he couldn’t bring himself to talk about it. You knew this was difficult to him, matters of emotions were never his strong suit. He spoke by using his actions, he always had, and you always noticed.

You noticed when he would protect you on missions before looking out for himself. You saw him when he would get up and tend to the kid at night, even if was your turn. You noticed that he would give you his full attention when you would talk to him about anything. He would carry you home on nights where you felt like your legs wouldn’t work. You pick up on how carefully he would help you dress your injuries after a bad run-in. No small gesture he made went unseen and you loved everyone of the silent confirmations of his true feelings towards you. And now he just outdid himself in a way you could have never imagined.

“I can’t believe you did all this for me,” you say softly, unable to look in his eyes but settling to rely on the good faith he was meeting your gaze under the helmet. Of course, he was. He was watching every move, every facial expression as always. “Din, I absolutely love this.”

“I’m glad you like it,” he says, looking around nervously. His eyes follow the green trouble maker wobble over to you to be picked up, his gift for you in hand. You scoop him up in your arms and take the heart from him.

“Is this for me?” You ask with a big smile, looking at the kid. He erupted into a fit of happy giggles when you planted a kiss on his wrinkly head. “Thank you, I love it,” you whispered to him. He coos and snuggles himself into your chest. You chuckle at the little guy’s actions before looking back to Din. “I think he likes me,” you joke.

“He loves you,” Din says, smiling at the two of you. His little family. He walks over and wraps his arms around your waist, relieved you can’t see how much he’s shaking. You can tell he’s nervous. Embracing both you and the kid he whispers, “And he’s not the only one,” he admits softly, “I do too.”

“I love you too,” you reply, sighing contently. You feel the butterflies and nervousness in your stomach mixed with a feeling of relief. Months of dancing around the feelings and the never acknowledging the tension between the two of you was finally over, and in his own way, he’s shown you by all this how much he cares.

“There’s just one problem though,” you say, just as you feel begin to relax. He immediately stiffens.

“W-what?”

“You didn’t ask me to be your Valentine…”

“Gods,” he mutters, shaking his head. He frantically removes his helmet and presses his lips to yours in a kiss, before you even register that he just took his helmet off for you. His hand holds the back of your head gently, as his lips move against yours. When he pulls away, he rests his forehead against yours.

“(y/n), will you be my Valentine?” he asks, his beautiful brown eyes looking into yours for the first time without the helmet hindering his vision of you.

“You’re so handsome,” you whisper, bringing a hand to his cheek, propping the child on your hip so you had the free hand. You completely miss the question, too in awe of the man in front of you. “What about the Creed?” you ask worriedly.

“You’re worth it, cyar’ika,” he mumbles, “I’d have left it all if you had asked me too. You and him are the two most important things in my galaxy. The moment him and you arrived in my life, the Creed became second.”

“Din,” you whisper, tears welling in your eyes, “I love you.”

“I love you so much, cyar’ika.”

I've actually got a lot to say about how sizes are shown in the manga and I've been trying to write up on it for like 20 minutes now but I can't find a way to say it right so apologies if this is kinda casual and rambly I just wanna get it out there.

I think it's not just an artistic choice, doing what feels right in the moment, I think itaparu has to have been aware of it and done it intentionally, which gives me permission in my own head to interpret the physical characteristics of characters a lot more wildly.

The biggest thing is the shishigumi. Just, everything about the shishigumi. They're drawn from their first appearance to actually look kinda lanky and unintimidating, you could say at first it's just because they're fodder mooks that we need to believe could be taken out by just two people but then they kept looking that way.

But them looking big and threatening is like, a conscious character trait of theirs, not an artistic choice. They all wear the suits with the big shoulders and move so animatedly. Them actually being Just Some Guys physically is a big thing that makes it easier to accept when they're friendly and loyal with Louis by the end so I think it has to have been consciously preserved. The only times I remember the shishigumi actually being panel-filling and scary are when like, they're eating dinner with Louis the first time, to show how powerless he feels, when they take over a business to show how they're gaining real power instead of faking their king of beast schtick.

And most prominantly the Chief.

Given his predilections about how to eat meat he must not have actually ate that much of it. He must look like Just Some Guy even more than the other lions, and in the anime he does because the anime isn't able to break model for effect, but in the manga he cuts one of the largest scariest most intimidating figures in the series because he's a threat to Haru.

Like a lot of things I don't think this effect, assuming it is a conscious decision, isn't shown super clearly, which leads to people thinking like, you eat a steak and literally grow 50 pounds of muscle in a minute. But it would explains so much, like Pina's inconsistent height and Gosha's apparent shapeshifting and maybe even imaginary chimeras.

Anyway all this is really just to say why in god's green earth is the anime cgi
