That purple covering is the skin of a gypceros, which they eat.

Also, scale!

Even better if it has a cute name

Yuu: this is my beautiful baby fluffy, I hatched them from an egg

It's like the meme of "Pitbulls named Cupcake after eating 17 children, burning down a hospital and starting WWIII" vs "Pitbull names DEATHSHITTER after finding the cure for cancer, feeding the homeless, and helping the blind"

Imagine how Yuu figures out the photos summon doppelgangers. Like they get into a fight with mob student and their cards fall and boom, suddenly a fake Malleus in his ceremonial robes is standing there(just as example since he was the person I first picked when I started). Obviously they'll have to show Ace and Deuce as soon as possible

The havoc

"Hey guys, Azul said you can get off work early." "Huh? No he didnt!"

Yuu pointing to the very realistic ghost of zul begins from a photo he took when he was in a good mood: :3

They want a clear room? Send a ghost of an angry Floyd in.

So much potential for evil

Twst au where yuu’s got the same ability as a yugioh character and so if they design cards based on the pictures from the ghost camera they can summon a facsimile of that moment and order them around like Pokémon.

The best part of this is not the fact that yuu can summon someone from their deck of cards to fight themselves, but rather that they have everything that happened on reviewable records.

That is my explanation for the gacha system and how you can choose the same person in three different outfits to fight themselves. Card maker yuu au.

Yk it's weird cause it feels like this is what Crowley was implying with the camera

Imagine having a picture taken of you during a fight and now you're fighting your shadow clone

Polynesians did also rely on a form of a physical map called a stick chart, illustrating the specific wave and swell patterns surrounding different island chains. These were particularly helpful during cloudy conditions when the sun and stars were less useful. To navigate the Marshall Islands, the Marshallese represented ocean swell patterns using parts of coconut fronds and shells as islands. Like a subway map, they don’t so much represent distances as they do relationships. The complex and decorative stick charts were often only understood by the person who made them. They were memorised before a voyage by the pilot who would lie on the floor of a canoe to get a sense of swell movement and often lead a squadron of 15 or more boats.

Y'all

Im not on tiktok and never have been, but I downloaded RedNote just to see what is up, and I am witnessing something truly amazing

The Chinese user community is giving the American tiktok refugees an overwhelmingly warm welcome, meanwhile the American users seem to have collectively agreed that not only will they not let the app be taken over with English and they will provide Mandarin subtitles for everything, they are LEARNING MANDARIN. Ive scrolled through so many videos of Americans offering greetings in Mandarin to try to acclimate to the new environment and be respectful, and speakers of both languages are posting lots of tutorials on language basics and internet slang in Mandarin

My God, there is an AMAZING outpouring of curiosity and delight among everyone to learn about each others cultures and daily lives. People are posting videos of landscapes, cities, towns, and natural areas in USA and China, posting recipes and traditional foods, vlogs of everyday life, and reaching out to find people with similar hobbies.

And it's not just young people! There are loads of videos from middle-aged American guys who have come to post about fishing or motorcycles and are now happily chatting with Chinese users sharing the same interests using Google translate

One American guy who was like. in his 60's had a comment on one of his videos that was like "Red Neck?" and he replied "Yes!" and I just about fucking lost it

Also the Chinese users love, and I mean LOVE, Luigi Mangione. He is apparently broadly adored in China. There is SO much fanart and SO many edits.

There are many threads initiating Chinese users to ask questions of American users about the USA, and vice versa, and everyone on both sides is clearing up a lot of misconceptions. Some of the questions I saw a lot from Chinese users were: "Is it true that American parents kick you out of the house as soon as you turn 18" (not often, but sometimes) "Do you all really wear shoes in bed" (NO!!! Apparently a lot of characters in American sitcoms are shown lying in bed with shoes on which I never noticed before!) and "are there really guns everywhere" (yes).

For the most part Chinese content creators seem just overwhelmed by the sudden influx of hundreds of followers that are super enthusiastic about what they're doing. A lot of them have made posts about how initially they thought the uptick in follower count was some kind of error, or that there was some kind of joke or prank, but then they realized the interest and enthusiasm was genuine and now they're welcoming all the newcomers.

I found several posts by Chinese users saying that this felt like a really profound historical moment, where these previously separated worlds are suddenly smashing together and suddenly there is freedom to learn about each other's cultures and connect. One of them said something along the lines of "This is a 21st century Tower of Babel and even though I'm an atheist I hope God lets this tower stand." OUGH MY HEART.

The app itself works a little bit like a video-based version of Pinterest. It's not really my thing so I probably won't be on there long term but it's been amazing to see what's happening.

I miss the era of the internet where everyone had an evil alter ego/character that would show up on their channel, just to be silly, that eventually got a lot of lore from the fandom for no reason. It was a simpler time.

THIS TWEET IS SO STUPID AND FUNNY

WHY DID THEY MAKE IT LIKE THAT

Please tell me that y'all won't go back to tiktok once Trump gets whatever nefarious concessions he wants from the company and "saves" it. Like, you all NEED to stay gone. Stay on Xiaohongshu or move to other platforms or create a new one or whatever, but don't go back to whatever Trump-appeasement monstrosity TikTok is about to become. Don't do it.

[scrivenger-grimgar]

btw if you tell me something and i reply with “oh???” that’s the equivalent of a dog’s ears perking up

reblog this if your icon could kill a man

whether you call it an "AMV", an "edit", or a "fancam", all of us, across generations, want the same thing: videos of The Character set to music. and i think that is beautiful ❤️

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.
