Voice echoes: Weird. Annoying.

Voice echos: Your Royal Highness.... Your Royal Highness?

Emmitt mumbles: Leave... leave my wife alone...

???: Sir?!

Emmitt startled: Ah! What? What is it? What time is it?

Lawyer: Sorry to bother you, sir.

Emmitt: No, it's alright. I must have dozed off. What time is it?

Lawyer: It's morning. We've been working around the clock, sir.

Emmitt: Wow, really? Time sure flew. Thank you all for working this late.

Lawyer: Of course, sir. We actually have some good news.

Emmitt: You do?

Laywer: Yes, sir. I believe we may have found a solution.

Later....

Emmitt running: This is great! Thank you all! I have to see to my wife, but please draw up your conclusions and invoice our finance team for your services. Job well done!

Emmitt: Bria? Bria?

Maid: Hello, Your Royal Highness.

Emmitt: Hi, have you seen the Grand Duchess?

MermaidQueen Yeah let me take fashion advice from this woman lmaoooo report on these fashion crimes!!!

RealKing124 Do people actually wear KBE?? I feel like I've never seen a single person support that brand but supposedly it's so popular.

PinkieHere I watched a good 3 sec of the style report and turned it right off. I tried but I just find that woman so annoying.

more tre shounen manga chapter covers!

some notes: 1. xu da's blade here is the dadao, or the big sabre. i swear this isn't a pun, it's different da characters. 2. the background is refencing a specific early 13th century painting, ma yuan's 'scholar viewing a waterfall'. (go look at the original, zoomed in, at the met museum site). 3. the abacus and the suanpan coexisted historically across the world from each other, but if one inspired the other is unclear (according to my shoddy research)

#the radiant emperor #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #xu da #wang baoxiang #my art #drawing those pine tree branches probably one of the most relaxing things I've drawn in my life #as you can see I'm still struggling w rendering skin and i will continue! to do so! #also in this bout of unprompted research i found out that the real historical figure xu da lived until his 50s and he too was a total GOAT #do with that what you will #idk what protected yous from me titling wbx's one as supermassive black hole and thus continuing the twilight jokes #but it happened so rejoice i guess

These four wormed their way into my head last night and would not leave me until I spat something out so here's some assorted headcanons, a comic that I'm not sure I understand the punchline of myself and the youngest inn-bling(ba dum tss) in ten to fifteen years.

#princess tutu #author #malen #i didnt really stop to think of the tots' names. #i honestly dont know what their parents would name them! #i mean so far we've got an author and we've got a malen. absolutely bonkers combination mama and papa innskeeper what were you on #also i just found it hilarious if they had a ridicilously small age difference for siblings thats it #like not even a full year and he's acting all high and mighty lmaooooooo #i fear i am genuinely being too mean to author this time #i am sure he didnt mean to alienate himself from his family- #-by diving headfirst into researching its dark spooky past- #-to the point of forming his own self-contained cult of a sort. #thats just puberty. teenagers need to be agressively weird its enrichment. how else will they find themselves? #no seriously i am asking #so far i havent seen a different method #anyway #fanart #my art #i think ill tag stuff specifically tied to these four as #the inn-blings #i feel like i had more to say in the tags but i forgor #OH OH OH #i didnt! say anything! ABOUT MALEN #like hwllo this makes her involved in the whole spooky fucking writer drama?? osrt of? #.i mean #its implied that authors father was adopted and theres no direct blood relation #or something of the sort #either way the innblings have no hereditary powers #author is just a big fucking nerd #so like.

Why can't we have a batman is the spirit of Gotham au?

He already is, in meta, in character, in theming. Him and the joker. He is so very built upon what Gotham is made of, and Gotham builds from what he needs in turn, the setting of his story.

What if that is the reason he can take damage that would permanently ruin a physical career and come back? What if that's how he's managed to maintain his no-kill streak to such an extent? What if that's how he manages to maintain such high maintenance and all consuming identities?

For the heart and soul of a city containing all extremes, the richest nobility and the lowest of the poor, the cruellest villains and the most compassionate heroes, orphaned children and ancient lineages, a city rooted in fear and madness and grit-teeth determination and hard won kindness, what better choice could you find than Bruce Wayne?

But what if he wasn't alone in that? What if Gotham has sunk to such a low because its spirit is damaged and corrupted?

For the heart and soul of the cruellest city in the dc universe, the most unrelenting and uncaring, the one that practically laughs at your pain and suffering as you try to make it through another day, what better choice than the Joker?

#Batman v joker is yin yang up down left right it's the oroborus #Like it's possibly one of the most famous arch enemies of modern day lmao #Something something what if there was an actual reason b couldn't kill joker?? Like if joker died it'd kill him too. #Unbalance the incredibly fragile equilibrium b has spent decades fighting for #Like those threatre masks. Love theatre mask symbolism. But the batman is the smiling one and the joker is the frowning one #Its apathy vs compassion. Someone made a really good post about it a while ago but I can't find it ToT #But yeah imagine if b found out about the whole city spirit thing and freaked out it until he found out it was him. #Like full on possessive trawls through research and 'no I'm fine' to everyone watching and lying awake fuming and then it's all fine #Except now he can have an existential crisis because he never realised lmao. Idk maybe the waynes were infertile and he was a surprise baby #Maybe there's no hint he wasn't entirely human until he had the option opened to him. #Like he just thought all his weirdnesses were just from one of the various things he never got official diagnoses for #Which he still is! Some things were just supernatural lol #The kids are laughing at him but they've got the Gotham spirit of the protection which is how they're all (mostly) still alive lmao #Batman #Bruce Wayne #Cryptid batman #Gotham spirit au #Fic idea #Story idea #Batfam #Batfamily #Dc comics #Gotham #Dc city spirits

(Geralt/Jaskier hinted at; Gaelic folklore influence with 'I see dead people' vibes; demi-god-ish Jaskier and traumatised Geralt)

Jaskier latched onto Geralt because, ever since he was a boy, Jaskier had been able to see the manifestations of misfortune and death. They hang around people in the shape of twisted, gnarled monsters, with thousands of eyes, and horns, and curled claws.

Sometimes they appear as bent old men, their bodies curled and twisted beyond human recognition, writhing tentacles peeking from their threadbare jackets, or as translucent glimmers at the edge of vision, bisected with rainbow prisms, that vanish in the light.

Jaskier had seen many evil men surrounded by the creatures, because they feed on and magnify the deeds such men commit. Murderers, rapists, abusers: feedback loops of evil and darkness.

When Jaskier spotted Geralt in the corner of that inn, with the creatures skittering up the walls, swarming around the table legs, leering from the rafters, Jaskier knew he had to stop Geralt at all costs. He had never seen someone so saturated in latent wickedness.

Armed only with his lute and a pocket knife, his heart beating in his throat, Jaskier followed Geralt into the mountains. The least he could do was be there to scream bloody murder and warn the victim that Geralt was coming.

He couldn't have been more wrong. Geralt begged for Jaskier's life, handed over his coin, walked away with nothing. It had to be a trick. After all, Geralt was the Butcher of Blaviken. People whispered it behind his back, casting fearful glances. Jaskier would find the truth, even if he had to follow Geralt to the other end of the world.

What Jaskier discovered was a man with a pure but broken heart, who walked through the shadows and sought out evil because that was what he had been raised to do. He was condemned to it. A hero unrecognised, a good soul left to wither with pain. The trauma hung in the shadows behind his eyes and Jaskier couldn't add to it by telling him about the damned spectres.

So, Jaskier stared down the snarling monsters and chased them away with his music; he helped Geralt find moments of peace and worth beneath the stars. Sometimes, the monsters vanished completely and he watched the weight lift from Geralt's shoulders. Jaskier followed Geralt into every dark corner and made sure he was closest when the spectres gathered. He had never been particularly brave, but Geralt deserved a friend.

The penalty, of course, was that Jaskier happened to be there every time Geralt was beaten by destiny. He could be forgiven, perhaps, for believing that Jaskier was the harbinger of his misfortune.

#researching Gaelic folklore #stumbled across the bodach and a film called Odd Thomas #and then found out that bodachs are linked to Manannán mac Lir #a god king of the oceans #what if he had sex with Jaskiers momma? #and Jaskier was a bastard son #momma told him to hide his ability #but his weirdness was still so obvious #rather than stay at Oxenfurt in comfort #he hit the road to find some meaning #jaskier #geraskier

I just found out that Fyodor's "Crime and Punishment" was influenced by Edgar Allan Poe's writings.

#I was online shopping for books and found a book called creepy stories by Poe;selected by Fyodor Dostoevsky #So I researched how Fyodor was associated with Poe #Turns out his writings; especially Tell-Tale Heart; influenced Dostoevskys Crime and Punishment #For some reason I find this really interesting #to think that even Fyodor Dostoevsky read Poe years ago #I also found out that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle called Poe the father of the detective story #It's so cool to know how connected all those authors were #Poe also read;reviwed and critiqued books for magazines and did not hesitate to attack what he deemed as unworthy or inferior #With that he helped setting high-standarts for American litrature #can we include these things in BSD please? #as far as it's possible #bsd #bungo stray dogs #fyodor dostoevsky #bsd fyodor dostoevsky #bsd fyodor #dostoevsky #dostojewski #dostoyevski #crime and punishment #edgar allan poe #bsd edgar allan poe #e. a. poe #poe #tell tale heart #classical lit #classical literature #classic literature #russian literature #american literature

Every new thing I learn about James Somerton's process just drives home how he almost (but really doesn't) knows what he's doing. Yes, of course you use the sources you read as a jumping off point. Of course you copy and paste the important sections into your outline document so you can reread them. That's why you put them in quotation marks.

#James Somerton #honesty time: I totally believe he did this by accident #his entire problem is that he writes like a fandom account with bad takes #his anecdotal evidence that Todd in the Shadows spent a two hour video trying to find sources for? #they're all fandom drama taken out of their cultural context #(yes fandom counts as a subculture and therefore has specific context) #and all of it gets attributed to straight white women coz everyone knows shippers are all straight and cis women /s #he simultaneously treats his videos like bad fandom meta and Documentaries of Great Importance and those just do not mesh #it's part of why his videos were so unbearable if you actually knew what he was talking about #he learned how to make a youtube video essay. He did not learn how to write or study any of his chosen subject matter #I think that's also why he was not expecting to be called out the way he has because I suspect he probably thought everyone wrote this way #a lot of old video essayists especially the Chez Apocalypse bunch were very good at not broadcasting just how much went into their videos #so their style that has now become the norm feels incredibly off the cuff but is heavily researched #but also they are using that research to support their own hypotheses and ideas as you are supposed to #so I wonder if when he got called out he just brushed it off because surely he just writes the same way everyone writes #(and hey fandom posts are rarely cited because they assume everyone knows what they are talking about) #it almost makes me feel sorry for him but all I can think about is how catstrophically bad he is at this job #oh and for everyone wondering: I've found the best way to research is to put quotes in quotation marks #paraphrasing in either different punctuating or a different colour #and your own personal thoughts based on the source in something different again #all with the correct citations for your preferred style #this makes sure you have everything cited so when you put it all together you can do it easily without having to go back through it all #and prevents this from happening #(tbh I'm kinda sad I'm not still teaching. This would have been a perfect meme for how to do your damn citations week)

dalton sargeant is chronically online btw

Okay but the little pout he does when the frog comes out is enough to convince me that Fox Mulder frequently caught and kept frogs as a kid

#he had this tank set up in his bedroom #was constantly down the library researching best conditions for different species #he brings them worms from the garden #because he doesn't have a problem with worms - its insects he doesn't like #he used to take Sam on his frog hunting trips #the frogs on the vineyard were okay #but it was quonochontaug where he found the really cool ones #he identified with frogs - they were a bit quirky #and people prefered dogs and cats as pets #other kids thought that they were weird and slimey and squealled when they came near #and he never quite fit in #not before samantha was taken and certainly not after #my gifs #xf gifs #the x files #x files #txf #what are frogs #reaction gifs

I love reading the studies on potential existence beyond or outside of the body. I hate how much some of those books drone on before getting to the point.

#rant #1 hit me up if you want book names #2 i read one about research on existence after death. but a philosopher wrote it :/ #so despite mentionung studies he just ranted about his philosphical proof. which fine... convince another philosopher i guess :/ #but as a philosophical arguement i found it Annoying and not as useful to me the reader as a #more scientist structured discussion of the research would have been. #meanwhile theres some great books featuring equations. so Mathematical proofs for a concious universe #but 1 book spends 400 pages on experiments (cool but i wouldve liked math FIRST) then 100 pages of math and explanation #another book has math only and its 90 pages and probably my favorite theory on how the universe works #then theres an overview of experiements book. in soviet union #but its from an american tourist writer :/ so at least 60% of the text is stupid tourist Description bullshit #i dont want an Exagerated journal of adventures bitch. i want to hear what the research and outcomes and equations and evidence is!!!! #and youtube lectures? a lot of good ones on ted talks and some university youtube lectures #but theyre for general audiences so they often avoid mentioning the math (since the audience wouldnt necessarily Get the mathematical theory #) which annoys me because I WANT TO SEE THEIR MATHEMATICAL THEORY #i want them to SPECIFY WHICH OF THE BOOKS THEY WROTE IS MATHEMATICAL OR PHYSICS HEAVY IN DESCRIBING THIS STUFF #i can read physics. let me!!!! let me look at ur fucking theory so i can form a better opinion on it!!!

Finally jumped into my Turkey paper so the worst (the utterly paralyzing anxiety before and then complete bewilderment as I read through 60 FUCKING PAGES OF NOTES trying to remember wtf I was even going to say) is over

Have literally just been going through the notes and putting stuff into a google doc as I go, waiting on structure to emerge as I do (and it's starting to come together now)

but since I took 60 FUCKING PAGES OF NOTES just getting through the first half already has me at 9.5 pages of writing for a paper that's supposed to be 25ish

(all of which, btw, explicitly ties the "New Turkey" agenda to Sevres Syndrome, Ottoman imperial nostalgia, and AKP attempting to turn the country into a one-party nation with Erdogan as its sultan-esque figurehead-- the outcome I proposed originally and which my professor told me wasn't "accurate," putting me into this backpedaling position in the first place. If it's not accurate, then he had better start buying stamps, because many authors in many journals for DECADES have been contributing their opinions to a large body of work that says is IS accurate, so he will have a lot people to set right.)

Also I already hated Erdogan but now he's personally responsible for me even having had to write this paper, so I'm gunning for him on a purely intimate scholarly hatred as well as international ethical/political one

#I literally spent all the time last term that I was supposed to be writing this paper researching it in growing panic #waiting for my professor's point of view to emerge anywhere in anything I was reading and continuing to only see more evidence #for my interpretation #resulting in finals coming up and my being like 'I have no paper' #'only these 60 FUCKING PAGES OF NOTES which you say aren't real what do I do now' #and his advice was just like 'no New Turkey is only about foreign policy' and when I was like 'what about all this content I've found?' #he was just like 'idk' #and provided me with no help whatsoever #this morning I was just like 'I'm writing this paper and I don't care what happens' but now I'm pissed again and am like #'Well Prove me wrong then-- here's 30 pages of shit that says I'm right!' #the college saga continues

[quatregats]

Okay now that I'm not in weird all-nighter hyperfixation trance state I've actually got enough braincells to see that the dialect posts can probably be cleaned up and assembled into something slightly more useful so I'll try to do that once I have some more sleep in me

#and also once i (1) have read more sources to fill in the gaps/get a slightly better picture #and (2) have actually worked on the gotdam research proposal for one of my real classes which is a week and a half late at this point :// #percy can maybe have historical english sociolinguistics as a treat if he does his homework :///// #i've found some stuff on historical context which will maybe be useful and also i'll go through and make stuff more accessible #instead of just randomly throwing up passages from single dubious 1889 dialects of england source #ALSO maybe at some point i'll go back through the books and do a proper linguistic survey of them #although not really sure when that's going to happen. probably should wait until after finals grrrr #anyways i've loved reading everyone's comments and seeing what people found interesting and what they didn't get! #your feedback is appreciated and i will attempt a more scholarly methodology once i have Sleept #perce rambles #adventures in historical sociolinguistics

the fact that so many child abuse laws are like "its not child abuse unless it leaves a lasting mark" is so fucking crazy to me. You can hit a kid as long as your fists weren't closed and you hit them light enough

#It's actually so hard for someone to be convicted of child abuse. especially if what happened is under the guise of ''discipline'' #yeah the kid was fighting me so its not MY fault that he hit his head and arm on a counter and was also on edge of having a panic attack. #this is the proper reaction to a kid being guilty of talking back and being bossy - my uncle #also my uncle: I've never been found guilty under the law for child abuse. you are wrong. also you are the one needing to grow up bc somehow #I'm circling this conversation about you assaulting me over thinking something bad was happening to your brother back around to the fact you #are still living with me #its so funny to me bc even if I did try to leave my mom would try to stop me lmao. ''you're mom is enabling your lifestyle for some reason'' #my dude. my mom is ENFORCING this lifestyle. not to mention when you were shaming me for how old I was and still living here...you got my #age wrong??? do your research before talking to me. #literally told me I had no goals or plans for the future. lmao even. he only ever talks to me to tell me that he wants me out #quickly! name 8 interests I have that I did not have while in elementary school!!! #like I'm so mad. at least I can revel in the fact that my uncle was such a pussy you didn't commit to calling the police on me when he said #he would lmao. I can also revel in the fact that he fucking hates it here and tries to avoid being home. and that hes failing at parenting #his own children. I'm sorry brenna. I mean no slander. but you sneaking around and being found out about it and that all the adults knew #about it before he did thus making him look bad is so satisfying. its like watching him judging his gf and my mom for being bad parents #while his kids do much worse things (in his eyes) so fucking poetic #I'm sorry for going batshit crazy in the tags. I am. venting #tw child abuse

saw a tumblr post to day and it reminded me so much of tome so i had to draw him x3

#macs doodles #oc: tome #hes so fucked i love him #hes a minecraft oc loll my friends and i were gunna do a mc rp but we never got around to it #i even helped make the map for it !! #but yeah this is tome hes gods favorite freak #he was a scientist named simon studying interdimensional travel #but upon entering a portal for the first time ~mysteriously~ got stuck on the other side #(his research partner destroyed the portal to see what would happen loll) #and he spent roughly 20-40 years stuck in misc dimensions and turned into a fucked up beast monster #he doesnt remember his name or his past at ALLLLL #he popped up at the same village he dissaspeared from years later and was found by a local wildlife researcher #and was given the name 'tome' by him #to understand his vibes check out my 'tome' tag on my mainblog 'bigfrogblogs' #but yeah he used 2 be named simon and used to be a lil stem freak #he used to be a twink but i grew past that and now hes like gordon freeman but if he talked too much instead of not talking at all LMAOOO #hence the ponytail smiles

I have a hard time understanding why doctors will refuse to order tests for things a patient suspects they have just because they’re dismissing the idea they could have it. Like especially in the US, ultimately running a bunch of tests will cost me and my insurance more money, if I’m looking too far into something that’s nothing then I’m the one who’s out of luck, and if I’m looking into something that turns out to be something, then isn’t it good that I was better safe than sorry?

#I was listening to a thing about a guy #who had been experiencing a bunch of mysterious symptoms #and through Reddit he discovered what Cushing’s syndrome was #so he brought it up to his doctor who basically laughed at him and told him he couldn’t possibly have that #and said that he hated the internet now because people do research on these illnesses #anyways the guy found a new doctor and a specialist saw him #took one look and knew right away it was Cushing’s syndrome. ran the necessary tests. it was Cushing’s syndrome #and he got the treatment he needed #and I hear these stories all the time #and it bugs me because like #what would it have costed that first doctor #to just say ‘okay let’s check it out then’ and refer him for the tests? #literally the only explanation I can come up with #is that it’s a pride thing
