henlooo just wondering if you have any sketches of morax' parents? or you can describe them and who he'd taken after?

i did have a sketch lying around, so i've cleaned it up and colored it!

in this hc zhongli would've gotten his dad's facial features, but like,, all the colors from his mom save the skin tone. also her smile. his dad is a qilin and i gave him a tail bc 1) qilin have tails 2) ganyu has no tail but she's half-human so that tells me nothing and 3) i can do what i want lmao

remember the mom was a jewelsmith so all the dangling bits and everything gold was made by her. the only reason the dad isn't absolutely decked in baubles like a christmas tree is bc he thinks it gets cumbersome at some point n the mom is like "you're no fun". he does let her use his horns as hangers for necklaces n shit while she works tho. the dad was also the one who saved baby zhongli from being a christmas tree, too.

zhongli does get his androgynous swag from both of them

#spot zhongli challenge #the mom is average lady dragon height #the dad is above-average qilin man height #the dad isn't short it's just the mom is fucking huge #like yeah they can shapeshift but i do think everyone's first attempt at it kinda escapes their control #so like their first attempt at a human form is more or less by instinct #after that they can customize it all they want of course. like xiao #but most will stick to the general original shape n kinda tweak it from there #which is how there's certain common height patterns between shapeshifters #anyway odd rant #thank you!! #unnecesary detail but i kinda wanted the dad to give off like #vague dracula's wife vibes (i can't remember her name rn). from the netflix show. you know the portrait #it's so fucking funny #the face of the woman who fucked dracula #everytime these two would pose for anything the dad would be like yeah. that's indeed my wife (proud) #also yes they have matching jewelry they were disgustingly cute while they were alive

Why do you hate Alexander Hamilton so much? The guy lived and died before you were even born dude. He isn’t going to come alive and bite you XD

No, his actions just persist in the policies that my home nation was founded upon.

#guy was a warmongerer and also wanted Washington to basically play king #his politics were conservative and he offered to buy enslaved persons for his wife if she wanted #so he's not the abolitionist hero some like to paint him as #and Burr only challenged Alexander to a duel after MANY YEARS of Alex undermining his political ambitions #and trying to undermine voting results (intentionally party-splitting to get the other to win) so obviously once that George III knew #this is without getting into the adultery #look the musical fucked I can't deny that even after LMM's personal issues and the fandom that was born of it #and bi rights or whatever #(I am bi) #but as a person he objectively sucked #and I am allowed to have opinions on people fictional and dead even if they are no longer capable of actively directly influencing Now #PARTICULARLY when it's someone whose actions Have Indeed influenced modern history #his face is on the $10 ffs THAT'S how influential he was #not just with the formation of the modern banks but in general #tbh replace Alexander Hamilton instead of Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman #bc Jackson HATED the banks and Hamilton would HATE having his legacy diminished #if we're replacing Jackson we should replace him with Crazy Horse or another historically significant indigenous person #answers and shitposts #personal

Been reading the Sadeian woman after @normalbrothers mentioned it in relation to Diana Mitford, many thoughts but tumblr (and no computer on holidays) is. Poor format for those thoughts

That said, in a(n unrelated?) tangent, the books framing of the written pornographer’s role in reinforcing sexual dynamics/norms (and that this is why de Sade was at least worthy of analysis because he challenged sexual/gender/power dynamic norms) makes me wonder regarding the propensity (call it the dominance; the dominant minority) of readerfic these days (writ by women for women and using the 'self insert' motif to tackle first person POV) and how it’s recolonised fannish spaces back to a particular model of acceptable pornography through sheer flooding quantity .

“our Chr1s+ian (?) moral duty to reclaim queer pornography to reassert normative sexual dynamics between a man and a woman, or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman*” and clean up all that dirty sexual power gender role dynamic complexity etc etc etc there’s only a very limited range of acceptable incest to fetishise etc etc mumble mumble even gay readerfic back to hole and prod mumble mutter mumble

#old woman shouting at cloud #i do find this ironic because *in theory* t x l is het-normative. except. all you need to do is compare it to the fannish approach to- #-t x his first wife to recognise exactly what norms txl does indeed challenge. t and g also do but less overt; hence easier to flatten #and yeah it's definitely the fannish approach i mean here and not the canon because what i'm seeing these days is that fans aren't taking- #-subtext and making it text; or adding queerness where there was none; #its taking subtext and eliminating it; its taking queerness or complexity and flattening it to a v normative shape #*woman and a woman being the hardest to reframe because there's no prod and hole yanno? #does not readily allow the old in-out to play out when it's more about stretch and surface and grind #without artificiality coming into play anyway #i'd forgotten about de sade's cunt-cracking approach anyway #and now i have remembered!

SPY X FAMILY is the best isn't it?

It really is! I haven't enjoyed anime this much since, like, 2018.

Almost every single character is lovable or fun, it is incredibly cute and peaceful which raises up the occasional action scene even more, and also the more serious themes it sometimes touches it does so pretty well, I think.

And season 3 has one of my favourite mini-arcs in anime ever. I don't think many shows can do such sudden changes from cute and wholesome to fast passed action and suspense. Like, I shouldn't be laughing one minute and crying the next, that sudden change in tone shouldn't be working, but they somehow pulled it off with Yor's fights in the cruise ship.

Really cemented itself in my fav-anime-of-all-time list.

#spy x family #asks #i haven't been this invested in an anime since sora yori mo tooi basho #like sure there were the latest seasons of non non biyori and yuru camp between that and spy x family #also the yuru camp movie (which was fantastic) #but those are pure healing anime #and due to that the stakes are lower and the investment to the characters can also be lower (or their happiness not challenged as much) #and anime like sora yori mo tooi basho and spy x family have a great balance between cuteness and big stakes for the characters #which makes me (at least) naturally more invested in hoping for a good or satisfying ending/life for the characters #anyway i got off track i think #spy x family is indeed great #top tier

I know there's nothing wrong with looking at other jobs but it feels vaguely like cheating to be like "yeah! I'm totally having a good time here!" in my review

#I mean I have in fact fully disclosed the things I am dissatisfied with #and they were like yeah we have always known this we know we moved you to a team for circumstantial reasons #we are keeping an eye out for more fitting opportunities for the career you want #they do also raise a fair point that if I do indeed pursue a masters then a light workload within my comfort zone at work may be good #rather than having to do challenging things and be learning new shit the whole time at school and work #regardless so I didn't exactly lie #anyway they gave me a fair if unexceptional raise #m #work shit

It is the summer of Imperial Year 1183. It has been two years since the war with the Church of Seiros began, two years since Byleth Eisner disappeared in the Battle of Garreg Mach, and one year since the death of Emperor Emeritus Ionius IX.

For the first time since her father's death, Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg has returned to the palace in the Adrestian capital of Enbarr. In the aftermath of a nightmare, Edelgard reflects on her homecoming, her identity, and the people and events that have shaped the course of her life.

Another Hard mode 1cc under my belt!!!! This time in Ten Desires, with Reimu

Not gonna upload a video of this one, it was ROUGH. I paid the price for playing at work lol, got stopped like 5 times (and jumpscared once) and it absolutely hurt my performance,,,,

But, a win is a win in the end!! Hopefully I'll get a cleaner run soon

#remi plays touhou #i ended with zero lives and zero bombs. Lord. if i had lost because that last guy decided to tell me his entire life story...... 💀 #but. idk..... maybe its a testament to my improvement that even with so much interruption/distraction i still managed to 1cc ;; #i should probably stop doing difficult challenges at work though 😅 #also yes i did indeed say i was never touching Ten Desires again. i lied #i still have my Criticisms(tm) but i've warmed a little on it

Since this little guy lives in the cemetery and is basically in charge of maintaining the flowers in the garden around Mr. Fuji’s memorial (and some trainers ask what this guy is when they try to challenge the gym), I thought I’d introduce yall to one of my stranger buddies (though not as strange as Korbo).

This is Egg! Found him on a little expedition gym leader Blue payed Vi and I to join him on (the gym leaders we’re buddies with are weird) that went to document the presence of some thought to be extinct Pokemon that allegedly (and genuinely do) live in the area around the Sinnjoh Ruins. Met this little flower bomb pretty much immediately on arrival. Started following us around and then proceeded to effectively catch themself! Don’t know what compelled me to name them Egg… Unlike the other “extinct” mon I caught there, Blue let me take Egg back to Lavender Town. Now their job is to spread flowers around the garden, and we even sometimes have people request Egg plant flowers around the graves of their departed. He’s probably one of the most well loved by the community Pokemon that work in the graveyard (funny given the fact that Egg’s kin were considered pests in their day). IDK if Blue ever published our findings, since Unown are really fuckin common there and have this nasty habit of making space-time go all fucky (meaning the very limited populations we found could just as easily by Unown sourced anomalies as they could be living populations [not to mention the fact that most of our spotted species were one offs with the exception of Voltorb interestingly enough]). So yeah! If you see Egg rolling around the graveyard, say hi! They’re super friendly and social, and almost definitely won’t try and explode in your face! (Don’t plug the hole though, Egg will get stressed and explode on the spot if you do.) They’re really not much of a battler (though they do like watching gym battles given that they happen in the garden), but I’ll give their set below:

Nature: Jolly

Ability: Seed Sower

Moves: Stun Spore/Energy Ball/Charge Beam/Rain Dance

If any of you people are interested, I might just make a post about the Sinnjoh expedition. We found some weird shit.

#pkmn irl #pokeblogging #unreality #pokeblog rp #pokemon blog #pokemon irl #lavender town #pokemon #pokemon rp #hisuian voltorb #If you were wondering; Egg is indeed the reason it sometimes is just randomly raining in the graveyard but nowhere else in town. #Egg also sometimes starts up either a grassy terrain or rain during gym battles #It doesn’t effect the battles TOO much (it’s even actually detrimental to some of our mons’ battle ability) #But we still usually request challengers to heal and try again when it happens #Only fair given that it’s caused by outside interference lol #Also be careful of Silver when Egg sets up rain; her Thunders actually hit reliably when this happens #the gym leaders Vi and I are buddies with are Janine/Blue/Misty. #Vi and Erika are also kinda chummy but I don’t really talk to her much. #She does like Egg tho =D
