I'm thinking about keith and how he grew up as a mixed kid but didnt know he was mixed. But there has to be Some things he did that was more galra

So like. As he grew up his hair got a bit of a purple twinge to it (not super noticeable, but definitely there). He gets very slight fangs. I think purring/growling is so fun in concept (but before voltron the last time he purred was probably around shiro. If not that than his dad. Keith growling is more common)

Also i feel like his dad would have taught him some galra shit he learned from krolia and when keith went to school everyone was so confused about some of this little boys interactions

Anyways voltron time now. Pidge and hunk are like "guys. I swear i heard keith purr. This is crazy" and lance is like "yeah? He growls too. This isnt news." Bc he pays so much attention to his rival 24/7

And when keith joins the blade he sees them do the some of the same shit that he did as a little kid and hes like "oh. It was galra traditions. Thats cool"

#this idea has been in my brain for a couple days and i have no clue how i would draw it without doing like. a multiple page comic #and i did too many multiple page comics for school last semester. there is no motivation to do a longer comic right now #galra keith #keith #voltron #also klance #maybe i would write a fic if i were better at writing. or had more confidence writing

people making all those body-switching drink spiking memory altering theories when its so much easier to admit you felt like the writing wasn't that good this season. knowing a thing is mid and still enjoying it is so freeing try it sometime

#so many of those theories make no sense and would just make the writing worse? #i promise you don't need to TJLC your way out feeling unsatisfied with your the season because it only leads to more disappointment #when the secret good 4th episode of sherlock doesnt happen #its me talking #personally i think the clue to liking the season is admitting that most things in it are just there for fun #its either for fun or to give emotional context to a characters behaviour literally thats it #'what was the point of the minisodes' for fun and to give emotional context to aziraphale's moral struggles #'why were there zombies' for fun #'why are nina and maggie like that' 90 percent of the time to give clear parallels to crowley and aziraphale #the other 10 is just less than stellar writing #'why was the job storyline there' among other reasons to drive the point that aziraphale still sees the angel in crowley #etc etc #would the season work better if it was shorter? almost certainly! but im having too much fun to care #gomens #good omens spoilers #idk why i wrote so much on this topic. oh well

reason ive been ded for a while now is beacause the Arcane and Sonic Prime brainrot has gotten a bit severe-

#sonic prime #arcane #so the brainrot is really strong #it has me by teh hair and is trashing me against the walls #help #this AU makes no sense in the bigger sceme of things #cause the plot or the characters have nothing in common whatsoever #but tell that to my silly head #actually been thinking about suge and kit as Vi and Jinx #cause they have a lot of personality and some plot in common with them #no #no i cant #too many ideas #also can you tell I have no ficking clue how lighting works? #these were meant to be short gifs/animatics but both my program and tublr hates me so only exported png frames it is #nine the fox #miles nine prower #sonic the hedgehog #also how in the FUCK do you draw this blue ass #sonic #vi arcane #jinx arcane #mah art #littol doodl

A lot of wacky stuff happens in the later months of this game...I know the story! Of course!! I played it ages ago though, and so being a player of it - it almost strikes me as brand new (To be fair, I played p3p right before p3r was released, but I didn't end up getting very far)

A LOT gets thrown out and this isn't even close to being the end either. The characters still don't really have an idea of what's going to happen and it's already NOVEMBER.. the whole game takes place within a year's time and we're almost there and we still don't know anything. oh boy

#persona 3 reload spoilers #I'd feel that way if I were the protag too #so many questions about everything and nobody really has a clue of what's going on #but you still live on your daily lives #after all these.. huge events happen in life #but maybe that's how life is #I have to draw out my reviews of this game later #rn I just got so immersed in it and it's surreal #spoilers

i completely solved a cryptic crossword for the first time the other day! this is huge for me because i've always been so annoyed by them lol. but i kinda get it now, it is very satisfying to figure them out.

that said, there are several answers where i still do not totally understand the clues. if anyone who is familiar with cryptics (sometimes just called "crosswords" outside of the US) wants to help me out, i'd be very interested to hear your take!

this cryptic was in the 2022 puzzle mania edition of the nyt (released at the very end of the year), so if you are planning to solve it and haven't yet, i guess don't read this? lol. since i waited five months to do it i feel like that will apply to no one, but just in case.

i realized after drafting this post that the answer key is available online (here), but it did not actually answer my questions in every case, so i've kept my original text but added the answer key answer after each one in case it makes more sense to you than it does to me.

13A. Has misgivings about deception to an auditor (4): RUES. so "has misgivings about" is the definition of "rues". but i don't know what "deception to an auditor" is doing. could it have something to do with the fact that "rues" is a homonym and anagram of "ruse", a kind of deception? but i still can't figure out what "to an auditor" is for.

the answer key gives "homophone ruse" for this, so i guess i was right about the deception part, but i still don't get the auditor thing.

14A. A con almost grabs actor's awards left unbalanced (10): ASYMMETRIC. so EMMYS is hidden backwards in "asymmetric", which takes care of "actor's awards" and "left", and "asymmetric" means "unbalanced", i guess. so that leaves "A con almost grabs", along with the A and TRIC of the answer. i can't figure out how to make those relate to each other.

answer key says "a(symmE)trick – k (rev. Emmys)". fuck does that mean?? why are we subtracting the k? and i'm still not really sure what the con is there for?

26A. Concentrate for spare and strike (5): THINK. "concentrate" is the definition of "think". what is the "for spare and strike" doing??

answer key: "thin + K". okay i see how thin = spare but wherefore this K? does K stand for strike in baseball? that sounds vaguely familiar...

28A. African country returned Los Angeles family inheritance (7): SENEGAL. senegal is an african country, and it's also an anagram of angeles. i'm guessing the "returned" is a clue for the anagram? but what is "family inheritance" for? oh wait, senegal backwards is LA genes!! but then is it just a coincidence that "angeles" anagrams to "senegal", or is that indicated in the clue somewhere???

answer key: "rev. L.A. + genes". okay so it does sound like angeles being an anagram of senegal is a coincidence, or at least not covered in the clue?? seems like a missed opportunity but what do i know.

5D. Largely moderate Arizona city (5): TEMPE. tempe is a city in arizona. what's "largely moderate" doing here?

answer key: "temper – r". am i to understand that this is saying moderate = temper and the "largely" part of the clue is telling me to keep most but not all of "temper"?

#the big-ass american crossword was not that interesting i'm sorry to say. the actual solving was too easy and the logistics were #very annoying. it was so huge (four newspaper pages & almost 800 answers) i had to do it on the floor #which was uncomfortable #and looking up each clue in the list took so long because there were so many #i was interested to see how long it would take so i timed myself and it took me 2h04 (though it felt like it took 10 hours #based on how sore my neck and back and legs were lol) #and i could have finished in under 2 hours but i didn't realize that i didn't have to do anything special with the super mega words #in order to solve the crossword. like i figured out what the words were but putting them together according to the instructions #is only necessary for solving the metapuzzle and so could be done separately. so i wasted a few minutes trying to do that #the other puzzles were p cool except the word search bugged me for reasons that were mostly the fault of my own poor planning #but psy is a one-named singer!! so technically there were 8 one-named singers not 7!!! #i actually haven't solved the metapuzzle final answer yet #i have all but one of the letters but then they have to be put in order and i have no ideas for what the order is supposed to be #cruciverbs #my posts #but anyway very exciting that i solved a cryptic for the first time! maybe now i can get past my mental block about them

I bet my ass that Vasili is the mastermind of all thats happened in crimes. Maybe alongside with the queen. I also bet that something will happen in marguerite's show and the blame will fall on sebastian, but at the end we will find out that it was vasili all along. Pb loves to do these fake reveal moments (like vos with the cop, crimes 1 with the guy and the old lady and I think murder at homecoming did it too) and I wouldnt be surprised if they repeat it in this book again.

You know I did start mulling over the possibility that Vasili is the sole mastermind after I made my post about him. During the chapter, I was only thinking about him maybe being the killer, but there’s nothing that says he couldn’t be the one pulling the strings so far. And considering the way pretty much everyone describes him, I think it’s plausible.

I also think it would make sense for Sebastyan to be the hooded figure in this case. He probably already does have extreme loyalty to Vasili since they’re both illegitimate children and have been treated as less than because of it. That’s probably compounded by his hatred for Trystan. And I’ve noticed that one of either Vasili or Sebastyan is often mentioned even when the conversation was initially about the other. For example, if you ask Marguerite about Vasili in the dinner chapter, she says something about how he will “keep Bas in line”. So I think what you said about Sebastyan initially taking the fall is likely as well. Also to add more merit to this theory, if Vasili felt it would be easier to somehow get the Heir Equity Act passed and remove Trystan as heir by killing Juliana, then it all makes sense as everything would lead to him assuming the throne. And Olivia did say that the initiative was put on hold due to infighting between Juliana, Sebastyan, and Nadja and imply that Juliana was in the way due to her stubbornness after all. I just can’t figure out how they expect to get the Act passed if this is the case.

But either way, I wouldn’t be mad at this reveal. I think I’ve already made it known that I have an issue with the way PB does mysteries. Something about them is always unsatisfying. But I feel like the writers have set themselves up really well so far with CoP 2 because there are so many possibilities and many of them make sense, which makes it fun to theorize. And I think it will be fun yet still surprising to ultimately find out which one is correct or if it’s something no one has considered but still makes sense

#choices CoP #choices crimes of passion #choices #choices stories you play #playchoices #as long as PB maintains a good balance here I don’t think they will mess up the reveal #they have to manage to keep the intrigue up - make sure the clues/collectibles stay relevant - #and then allow the mystery to be solved at the right time #don’t linger too much on red herrings #which could be an issue since there are so many suspects #also I hope everything I said makes sense #I feel like I was kind of just jumping from idea to idea so idk if the connections I was making were clear lol #choices app #choices ask

i really miss old internet when logout buttons weren't like. hidden underneath three menus and two sidebars. idk.

#tumblr #social media #in general #thoughts from hel #this stuff used to be in the corner. right there. i do not want to go hunting for basic account functionality #negative #just barely but keeping things organized here o7!!! keeping things happy outside of this tag #okay as an addendum to this #what about that trend of sticking everything into folders or dropdown sections idk #like why did google drive just now move their “star this file” feature under the “organize” section in their menu #i don't think that's what the starring feature is actually called but yknow #it's not like there were too many options in the menu before??? were there??? am i wrong???? #it was a perfectly reasonable number of options and then they hid them away. so it's even harder #to star a file than it was before. okay yeah ngl my problem is mostly that i love starring files #now every file i star takes +2 clicks plus whatever amt of time it takes for me to realize it's been hidden in the menu #upset. #“organize” as a section title sounds like the sort of label i would and historically have come up with when i need to put stuff away #but have no fucking clue how to describe whats inside the box. vibes only sorting. #just bc it's so damn vague #long tags #i guess lmfao i kinda just went off in here #what do you mean “organize”. what if changing the color of the folder was your definition of organize. what if renaming things #for sorting purposes was your definition of organize. why is google making it so goddamn difficult to #navigate a goddamn file system. every operating system has one. figure it out omggggg #maybe i am complaining in the wrong place bc this is the anti google website #or maybe that makes it the right place idk

Okay, so I just watched a few reaction videos on youtube about the last episode of HotD, cause I wanted to see how others interpreted Daemon‘s actions, and I gotta say, I‘m a little disgusted. So consider this here a rant about people but also just general advice for anyone, even for people who are not watching the show.

Ignoring whether or not there was some bigger plan behind the pleasure house scene, and also ignoring the fact that Daemon left Rhaenyra alone there: Ending it there and then was just the right thing to do. And I‘m not talking about his motives here (like he felt remorse, he shouldn‘t use her …), but just about the simple fact that Daemon clearly didn‘t want to continue with their intimacy anymore. I didn‘t think I‘d ever had to say this because I thought (hoped) that this was common knowledge but you can‘t imagine how many people I‘ve just seen who went: Don‘t leave her hanging like this after getting her all horny! What do you want, boy, yes or no? What, can‘t he get it up, what‘s his problem?

So let me put this very clear and simple: You don‘t owe anyone intimacy. You don‘t owe anyone sex, even when you were the one who started being intimate in the first place. It‘s totally normal (and happens a lot) to just not feel comfortable anymore in the middle of it, for so many different reasons. And when that happens, it‘s completely fine to just tell your partner, stop there and continue another time, when you‘re feeling better about it. As the one being fucked you don‘t owe your partner that you just take it and be used for their pleasure. As the one doing the fucking you don‘t owe your partner to pull through to satisfy them. (Because yes, this is a gendered discourse, too, because especially cis men are somehow expected by society to always be needy and horny and take what they want, which is a pretty problematic view and has bad consequences for all genders.)

It‘s fine to say No. You should in fact say No, when you don‘t feel good about it. Saying No isn‘t a joking matter and no sign of weakness or impotence. It happens and it‘s normal and it’s absolutely nothing to feel bad about.

#have i included too many 'bad' words for tumblr to allow me to post this? #no clue what to tag this as cause daemon/hotd were what started this but this is a way bigger issue ig #daemon targaryen #discourse #societal problems #charlie rambles #honestly just needed to get this off my chest and i‘m kinda sorry for filling the daemon tag with this #but hearing some people talk about him and that scene made me actually so mad so i felt like protecting our crazy prince a little #while also letting off some steam about society in general

utena rlly be out here like "the endless cycle of abuse can only be solved by an equally endless flow of selfless love and even then the people who contributed to the cycle of abuse likely wont ever know its been stopped" and expect me 2 be normal abt that

somewhat recently found out that my habit of clinging to a trusted extroverted/outgoing friend like an orphaned duckling in social situations is straightup a trait of autistic masking and stuff has been making A LOT of sense since then

#eliot posts #like??? #i can track all of my high school friends back to one girl that took me under her wing and i clung to and befriended her friends #all of my *close* online friends can be traced back to my one cousin who i have been good friends with since we were young #and sometimes i meet someone else to cling to from the original person #in high school the baton got passed from that girl to a guy i still consider to be one of my besties #and w my online friends i no longer cling to one person specifically but that's more just how online group chats are set up #but god like. i have NO close friends in college #i have acquaintances #and ppl have told me i seem friendly and kind and approachable and i have learned so many scripts for polite small talk #but i don't know what to do after that part! #and then like online i don't have close friends outside of one or two branching circles #i have some mutuals on here that i think we're maybe friends but i'm not sure and it doesn't feel like CLOSE close friendship? #like no one i feel comfortable approaching out of nowhere and talking about my day to #i don't understand how so many people talk about having made close friendships through fandom #it seems cool i just. ????????? #and on that note i have no clue when to consider people friends! if it's too soon i come off as clingy if it's too late i come off as mean #and what social actions are appropriate to initiate at what levels of friendship??? #why is socialization so fucking hard??? #it's SLIGHTLY easier w other autistics but even then it is fucking DIFFICULT #though that's all moot cuz i can barely convince my shitbrain to message the friends i DO have #but like ugh i wish i could make some irl friends SO BAD #to go out and do shit with #i mean i do a lot of typically 'social' activities alone and have a blast not having to deal with anyone else #but some shit you just kinda need someone else there to have fun

I just had the realization that we've seen almost all of the scenes from the trailer and a large part of the remaining ones i'm pretty sure are reserved for the very last episode so....what the fuck is gonna happen inbetween😀😀

#there were some very short flashes of like porchay crying and the uncle coming back and kim sitting sleazy and one shot of tawan #but theres no context so i dont fucking know what to expect its killing me😭😭 #im pretty sure all shots of vegas barging in guns blazing and then kinn and co hiding behind that pillar and then the im on your side #all happen in the same episode and that will be the last one like a final dramatic shootout #but i have NO fucking clue as to how theyll get there literally zero #i mean the issue of the mole still needs to be resolved i guess thats where we're heading rn🤔🤔 #what i WANT to happen is the minor family trying to overthrow the major one and probably failing but thats just bc i want #more scenes at the minor familys house and their dynamics i love the juxtaposition of the major and minor family #kinnporsche #i wish i could think about other stuff but no. i have too many thoughts

heyyyyy the network change could mean there's a possibility they could air 911 in india!!

#we get the good doctor annually and shows like grey's and a million little things every other year #i also see here that pll was on a channel operated by abc we get that once a year too #this is just assumption btw as i have no clue on what basis they decide to broadcast which american shows here #but if it's a network thing #then from what i'm finding‚ in india they air many abc and nbc shows but not a single fox show #and now that we're on abc it just means there's a possibility they might air 911!!!! eeeeepppppppp #911 abc #911 fox #holy shit the more i'm thinking about it... holy shit. #b99 was on fox too and they went through the same thing right? and then they were rescued by nbc.

every time I think about all the crimes the education system has committed I need to close my eyes and take a deep breath. and it did it on purpose, it was made for that. it's still out there telling lies and misinformation and failing young kids so so so hard. i think about it mostly in terms of gender and lgbt rights because that's my field of study, but the list is so heartbreaking long. every time a colleague tells me they don't wanna discuss a topic in class like it's a dead rat i wanna whack them on the head with a blackboard eraser. you ignorant pos that's your job, that's your fucking job!!!! do you have any idea the responsibilities that the job you've committed yourself to doing entails. and fuck the state that isn't standing right there ensuring you get the education you need to properly teach those kids and making sure that their rights are being upheld. i wanna set something on fire
