#unexpected similarities

[justiceforthomasbarrow]

One has an absent father, a dysfunctional family and an older friend who takes care of him.

One is strikingly handsome and attractive, but gets carried away by his emotions and pent-up anger.

One is not the boss, but acts like one because he is smarter than the others.

One loves picking fights, smoking and is greedy.

The other is Toushirou Hijikata.

I've listened to the first 5 books of Animorohs several times each and I love them.

So far they feel somewhat like DS9 in characters with different and sometimes conflicting views and values fighting a near impossible fight together and yet continuously being about and reaffirming hope.

Cross examine the parrot is extremely funny but what's funnier is the way Von Karma saw this coming and reprogrammed the bird's responses like only a insane person would do that for real.

#ace Attorney #nick and von karma narrative foils in that vk goes for perfection and planning but cannot work with the unexpected #whereas nick can't do anything with planning but is so good at winging shit #and both are obsessive and lateral in very similar ways #love them they are the Worst

#art #artists on tumblr #digital art #illustration #me and Raptorjules have been chatting about our kiddos for a while now #and i'm so enamoured with the fact that Caro and Noah both contrast and compliment each other so perfectly #with their shared angel motifs especially #Caro's raise to fame and their unexpected place in the spotlight #versus Noah's fall from grace and very purposeful withdrawal from focus #both of them bearing the same broken halo in very similar yet very different ways #idk it makes me feel some kind of way #these two would get along so well

These two sets of besties have the exact same vibes and that's why they're both so hilarious & perfect

I love them, your honor, my beloved set of absurdly-unexpected-wholesome-ride-or-die-besties-for-life.

#toh #toh spoilers #lilith clawthorne #toh hooty #toh darius #toh eberwolf #toh eber #theyre both total opposites ride or die besties. they both have a witch & a demon duo. l&h have an unconventional means of travel #to d&e's unconventional means of communication. matching disguises that one time. demon rides the witch's shoulders #l&d were classmates once h&e have similar color palettes. THEY BOTH UNEXPECTED & HILARIOUS & WHOLESOME & I LOVE THEM #hooty & eber both gross lilith & darius out. lilith & darius both make hooty & eber panic when l&d are FUCKING PISSED. qpp besties #toh meta #toh lilith #i tried to put them in chronological order but it wasnt possible & made d&e's set WAY too disorganized so. random order for parallels it is #last set especially is so important to me 💖 #the owl house #screenshots #did i include a shot of each duo for every ep they interact in? yes yes i did #tc posts #hi if case it wasnt obvious this is NOT A SHIP POST. lilith is canonically aroace & darius & eber canonically have a family relationship

personally i dont agree with the manhwas interpretations for the reason why ludger didnt seek help from casey when the missing cases first popped up (ie. he couldnt trust her cuz she's closely associated with the police) since it feels like they are seriously downplaying their friendship, but on the other hand... the angst of mistakenly distrusting someone who has unwavering trust in you, and then shattering that trust with your own two hands.

#it makes more sense to me that ludger was hesitating to coop w casey #bc showing his unexpected competence in this regard would risk his identity being revealed #ludger getting stuck between protecting his own interests and protecting his passing connections #his hesitation became his regrets and its eaten him up ever since #(note how he became more reckless/careless w his ID after this whenever a similar situation came up again) #and then he decided to throw his passing connection w casey away too bc he couldnt stand losing it the same way he lost arte #(among other reasons turning casey directly against the corrupt highups in delica would put her at serious risk as well) #oh well #academy's undercover professor #aro ludgercasey propaganda #selmore's undercover husband

okay yeah im gonna start being abnormal again. have you guys heard that i am fucking obsessed with time loops

#the fact that ive only written ONE fic w it... i should do an until dawn time loop. #wish i knew more movies that utilised them too i only know FOUR and one is a SEQUEL #(groundhog day. day after tomorrow. happy death day + 2u) #which is to say if you have recs lmk #ANYWAYS. THEYRE SO. OOUUGGAAAHHHHHH. THEYRE SUCH A DELECTABLE CONCEPT. #SUCH A DELICIOUS STORYTELLING DEVICE #guys when they see someone endure the same horrors over and over and over again trying so hard to break free in vain #whether those horrors are being stuck in an average town you couldnt care less for or a killer stalking your every move #but in the end they learn. they grow. they come to love the mundane. learn the name and life of every person in that town. #come to find love in an unexpected place. a softness you would have rejected before it all started. #and it is through this growth that the curse is broken. through love. IT ALL CIRCLES BACK TO LOVE BABY FFFUCKING HELL #yeah im very normal about them :) #EDIT WAIT FUCK NO ITS EDGE OF TOMORROW. THOSE ARE VERY SIMILAR MOVIE NAMES OKAY

I heard that Edward IV and Elizabeth Widvile were known to be very beautiful. Were there any reports on their appearance at the time?

anon 😂

But yes, contemporaries and post contemporaries in the 16th century were pretty much unanimous in praising their appearance. I'll list some of the ones I could find:

Elizabeth:

'The most beautiful woman in England' ('la plus belle fille d'Engleterre') - Jean de Waurin

'Her very great beauty' ('sa tres grande beaute') - Jean de Waurin

"Her beauty of person and charm of manner" - Dominic Mancini

"None of such constant womanhood, wisdom and beauty" - Hearne's Fragment; its author was one of Edward IV's servants

"A daughter of prodigious beauty' - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle

"Both faire, of a good favor, moderate of stature, well made and very wise" - Thomas More

Edward IV:

"The beauty of your personage it hath pleased Almighty God to send you" - James Strangways, Speaker of the Commons in Parliament

"The king is a handsome upstanding man" - Gabriel Tretzel, travels of Leo of Rozmital

"A handsome prince and had style" - Oliver De La Marche

"In the flower of his age, tall of stature, elegant of person" - Croyland Chronicle

"One of the handsomest knights of his kingdom" - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle

"A handsome and worthy prince" - Pietro Alipranto

‘...Tall and strapping as the king’ - John Paston, Paston Letters

"He was young and more handsome than any man then alive" - Philippe de Commynes

"A man so vigorous and handsome that he might have been made for the pleasures of the flesh" - Philippe de Commynes

"The handsomest prince my eyes ever beheld" and "I don't remember ever having seen a man more handsome than he was" - Philippe de Commynes

"A very handsome prince" - Louis XI, from the Memoirs of Commynes

"He being a person of most elegant appearance, and remarkable beyond all others for the attractions of his person" - the Croyland Chronicle, referencing Edward a few months before he died

"He seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature more protractedly and more evidently to onlookers" - Dominic Mancini, writing shortly after his death

"He was a goodly personage and very princely to behold...of visage lovely, of body mighty, strong and cleanly made; howbeit in his latter days, with an over liberal diet, somewhat corpulent, but nevertheless noy uncomely" - Thomas More

Etc.

I'm tagging @edwardslovelyelizabeth because I think you got a similar ask?

I hope this answers your question, anon! I don't generally pay a lot of attention to the physical appearance of historical figures (I find it pretty irrelevant), but in this case, it ultimately does play a role in both Edward IV and Elizabeth's historiographies for better and for worse, and seems to have actually been a personal prop of Edward's kingship, so I don't mind discussing it :)

#either anon is making rounds or someone else saw the ask and asked me something similar 🤷🏻‍♀️ #edward iv #elizabeth woodville #ask #also (I wanted to make a separate post about this but fuck it I'll just rant in the tags): #Something I find very interesting (read: fucked-up) is how we have multiple independent accounts praising Edward IV as extremely #attractive at the end of his life #Yet for some reason (aka fatphobia) most historians simply assume that he lost his looks over the years because he put on weight #even though his actual contemporaries (sans Commynes who in any case didn't even see him after 1475) certainly didn't seem to think so #as we can see: Croyland Mancini and More all noted the fact that he had put on weight AND emphasized his attractiveness #because the two are not mutually exclusive in the slightest and assuming that they are is not only incorrect it's also deeply problematic #it's similar to how so many historians assume his health was failing towards the end of his life when we KNOW - we are literally TOLD - #that his illness was both unexpected and baffling to contemporaries #(there is a contemporary reference to his supposedly deteriorating health but as Horrox says this is actually an editorial interpolation) #and the thing that's *always* referenced almost synonymously with this alleged non-existent ill-health is his weight #and the thing is - even if both of these were true they still ultimately wouldn't (and SHOULDN'T) matter. But we KNOW they weren't #and so it's incredibly indicative that historians and general histories STILL automatically assume them - and this assumption #is almost always on conjecture with his weight. (I don't think I've framed this coherently but oh well) #I'm still not over Katherine Lewis's deranged and frankly extremely ignorant epilogue in 'Kingship and Masculinity' #she literally framed her entire perspective on him around his weight with some really ridiculous (read: fatphobic) speculations/assumptions #she's even worse than Thomas Penn who is also revolting (and AJ Pollard isn't much better) #though of course they're not the only ones - almost every historian and general history does this

as devastated that i am about olivia colman not being able to return for hs season 3 i also cannot stop thinking about who else can take over her role as alice mentioned on their ig.. my vote goes out for coach singh please please please

#just imagine the possibilities with coach singh being queer and a sportswoman herself #nick deserves that kind of recognition from someone who has been through something similar!! #maybe her wife will be among the unexpected casting announcements... #alice i will give you all my money #heartstopper #heartstopper season 3 #nick nelson #coach singh #heartstopper netflix #natasja watches heartstopper

to be clear, i'm not angry about pretty boy slade wilson at all, if clark is just starting out then bruce has probably only been at it for a couple years himself, and dick is definitely still flipping about at haly's with his totally alive not ever gonna die parents and a good few years from slade deciding that his archnemesis needs to be a teenager from the most insane family in all of north america, it makes sense that slade so far is a young man still fulfilling mercenary contracts and other things like that and still in the relative flush of youth

also again, the way they drew him was hot, if this is how slade's anime twink phase goes i'm not mad about it

#personal #my adventures with superman #like slade being around clark and bruce's age makes sense considering he has kids that are dick and jason's ages #so if they're young men (and we know clark is a young man because he's a first time intern and literally started superman yesterday) #(and stands to reason bruce is at a similar age even if he's not in this show) #then slade too would be a relatively young man #with his anime snow white hair and anime golden eyes this is the best show ever made i'm sorry i can't stop giggling #it's not the fact that they made him young that's making me laugh again that makes sense #unexpected to me cuz again i'm used to him being an older gentlement with his shitty relationships with his children #and his rivalries with teenagers (the fact that he shows up in utrh just to sic assassins on nineteen year old jason for NO reason is just) #(it's insane why is he picking fights with batman's children while they're still children calm down buddy) #it's the fact that they had a choice on how to draw him and they just went He Will Be The Most Beautiful Girl In The Show #i love it

i’m sorry if this is weirdly specific, but can you pick someone from the smosh cast and say your top 5 favorite looks from them 👀

omg don't apologize I think that's so fun, and a great way to appreciate people's style! :) I ended up random generator picking someone and it was Amanda. I also had no idea how to do this without the pictures being huge so I grouped them together in order left to right lmfao

I mean I icon'd this one above all else so truly it is my favorite look. The hair was on point the shirt just went so well it was great!

idk if characters count (same for #5) but GOD I audibly gasped when she came out for Anthony's Funeral promo!!!!!

I'm a sucker for polka dots

I am also a sucker for a simple white blouse. I am a strong proponent of them more people should wear them casually, actually!

I know this is from a skit and not one of her casual video outfits lol, but still! I love a sparkly dress as well lol and she very much pulled off the look

Ask me my Top 5 anything!

#smosh #amanda lehan canto #janie gets asks #smoshidiot #looking at this i am realizing that a lot of my faves are things very similar to my own style lmaooo #which is not unexpected but i did not realize it until grouping the photos together

Mewse Designer - Version 6!

Body and Tail overhaul! The Body and Tail's main menu shows colors, and the color picker will be the Body and Tail type. Body and Tail color are not automatically linked

The above allows for the outline aura to work for ALL body and tail types and colors. Body and tail auras are not automatically linked. Also, more aura colors

Paw pads can be added to the CAT body type and the long haired Mews. Now under the "Tattoos" section

New colors for CAT body type

New Leg category! Leggings and a leg warmer and a pair of boots!

Brought over some frames and backgrounds from Fashion Ends with You including PRIDE PINS!

Categories where you can set multiple items have a limit when using random. Ex: random will not generate a Mew with 10 necklaces. It will pick a max of 2. You can still manually give a Mew ALL the necklaces if you desire!

The Mewse Designer is a Mr. Mew dress up/designer game on Meiker. Almost all items are from most of the named main characters in TWEWY and NTWEWY. While items, psych, backgrounds, etc. names are not visible it might be spoiler-y. If you're on mobile it's probably best to switch between landscape and portrait.

Meiker Link Here

Future: More body colors - the brighter colors from the CAT body will be made full body for the regular and long haired Mews. And then the CAT body will get the duller colored versions for the arms and legs. Add more stuff in the Legs category. I started with that, but decided to do a body overhaul to make it more CAT compatible.

Full update details in a pastebin link. Test your accessory knowledge to see if you identity the new items! (And see if i mislabelled something.)

If I had a nickel for every time I had strong feelings about a character matching this description, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

#wren talks #maedhros #radovid #the witcher #silmarillion #the target audience of this meme is 1 (me) but i couldn't rest until i made it #wren makes low-effort memes #their situations are very different #(e.g. radovid's brother was killed by advisors and it was unexpected bc he wasn't old and would probably have had an heir before he died) #(whereas mae's dad was killed by a balrog and it was unexpected because normally he wouldn't have died at all bc elves) #(and radovid is sad because he's pining while mae is sad because he was kidnapped tortured and then hung from a cliff for like 20 years) #but the similarities are still striking #and! maedhros was rescued by his dark-haired close friend/love interest who found him becaues he was singing! #so maybe there's still hope for radovid lol
