For those of you who never knew as it's a detail one can easily miss (especially depending on which aspect ratio you're viewing in) but a lovely detail at that: Pippin was in the hobbit band in the background!

He's the one playing the banjolele!

These shots I have of the scenes where he is most visible are from the Fullscreen edition (A DvD I own and often watch for the different viewing experience). I believe in the Widescreen edition their heads are cut off by the aspect ratio-- so it's easy to miss!

And for those of you who haven't put it together already, yes! That is our beloved Merry standing next to him as they both watch Frodo dance.

Mind you, Merry is not in the band. A few scenes prior he was actually along the precession line of bringing in Bilbo's Birthday cake. He probably came up to the platform to talk to Pippin, give him a mug of something to drink and inevitably snatch him away for some mischief. Because after this brief scene, Pippin is then absent from the stage-- he and Merry are going to go swipe some fireworks!

hate to say it, but part of ending the stigma around sexual assault means not assuming every woman blames herself. yes, female socialization encourages it, but that doesn’t make it a given, and the goal of all of these campaigns is to eventually diminish the proportion of women who do blame themselves. it is entirely possible, and increasingly common, for women to experience sexual assault and not feel shame or guilt, which we should be happy about. but instead, there are only so many times you can hear “you know it’s not your fault, right?” before it sounds like “it was your fault”. and there’s only so many times you can hear “don’t blame yourself” before it sounds like “you should blame yourself”. because it feels good to say, doesn’t it? sure, you don’t believe she’s guilty, but you do believe she should feel guilty, so that you can disabuse her of the notion. just something to consider.

who would win in a fight

Hotline Henry OR Charlie The Cursed Phone Guy?

also how are you doing today? :3

"Charlie The Cursed Phone Guy would win. Henry is *CENSORED* at fighting and would fall on his face trying to run away." "Also I'm doing fine, thank you for asking."

Curling into a ball, Simon groaned, vaguely aware of someone shouting. A gentle hand on his shoulder made him flinch.

"Easy, doc', just me."

"Mal?" Simon slurred, squinting up at the captain. "How - ?"

"L'il sis threw a fit, figured you were getting into trouble."

Concerned blue eyes flickered over him. "And it seems you were. What the ta ma de happened?"

Simon shook his head, wincing when it gave a vicious trob.

"They tried to take my money." He blinked, "Which is funny considering that I don't have any."

Mal laughed and helped him sit up. Curling an arm around his aching ribs, Simon glared at the captain.

"It's not funny."

"Whatever you say, doc'." Standing up with a grunt, he offered him a hand, "C'mon, let's get back to Serenity."

The old man is snoring 😴

Robaire, Taeyoung, Aaron T, and Aaron Z are all gathered in the hotel room of a snoring Jesse:

Aaron T: Ro I am begging you to let us wake him up. All this noise is making my ears bleed. I can't sleep like this.

Taeyoung: Nah the old man tired, let him rest, and besides aren't you the same guy who made a one man percussion band out of pots and pans earlier.

Aaron T: It's called creative self expression Taeyoung!

Robaire: T shhhh, anyways I agree with Tae it's best for us to just let him rest. We just need to figure out a way to block out the noise.

Taeyoung: We could use those ear plugs we got from the plane. They blocked out the sound of that crying baby.

Aaron T: You mean the baby you mean mugged into being quiet

Taeyoung: I have no clue what your talking about 😊

Robaire: Well I could still hear that baby maybe we could try like sealing the bottom of his door or something.

Aaron T: Are we trying to keep out the noise of the dust bowl? Even if we can't hear the snoring we'll still hear that paintings on the wall rattling.

Robaire: True true. Yo Z got any ideas?

*Aaron Z standing in the corner of the room frowning so hard Jesse is lucky looks can't kill*

Aaron Z: *grumbles something under his breath*

Taeyoung: What was that?

Aaron Z: You know what I do have an idea to silence the old man gently. Are you ready to hear it? 😊

Aaron T: Well no not when you say it with that tone🤨

Robaire: Respectfully, you sound way more cheerful than you usually do.

Z: Ok so I'll pick up this pillow very gently, walk across the room very gently, put it over his face very gently, and he'll stop snoring very gently

Robaire: *whisper yelling* Z NO!

Aaron Z: *whisper yelling back* WHY NOT ROBAIRE I'M TIRED WE HAVE A GIG EARLY TOMORROW I WANT TO SLEEP!

Robaire: Dude calm down. We'll just wait it out he can't possibly snore like this all night.

*fast forward to sunrise*

*Jesse finally stops snoring as he wakes up*

Jesse: *yawn and stretch* Wow I slept like a baby lat night. Time to start the day - aaah

*Sees the other members on his floor eyes wide open*

What are you guys doing? Were you up all night. Tsk tsk tsk that explains all that noise I heard. You know some people were trying to sleep. Come on time to prepare for the gig.

Aaron Z: That's it I'm gonna kill ‘em.

Robaire: You will do of no *yawn* such thing. Cause I will.

*Both get up to run after Jesse*

Hero & Partner Week Day 7 - Free Day

Once grown, Marill and Azurill decide to try their hand at exploring. The hero and partner offer to help them but they insist on doing it alone. That doesn't stop the hero from finding them some supervision regardless...

I drew the boys in PJs for Day 27! I gave them PJs and socks that match with the colors of one of their Pokemon! They are just chilling on the couch after a long day at work.

sorryf im being mentally ill about hallucination event right now SO in the LCSyS au, would there be something like it :o? Like after all of it's over or something, how crazy would it be if Jackalope tried to get them all together just to do one last concert?

Never apologize for being mentally ill about Milgram content 😌👍 We are all in it together 😔👍I'm combining this answer with a reply to @kikithedeceiver (and spiraling out of control from both)

I've had a lot of ideas about the project being public in LCSyS, but was holding off including it for few reasons – the audience’s voices would conflict with Es as their own character. Knowing the public was watching would change the way the prisoners acted (even if they thought they were acting natural). It’s a long time that the families would have to deal with the public knowing about their loved one’s almost-crime. I also like the idea of this au ending with the prisoners returning to very normal lives. 

Buuuuut it is such a fun idea, and popularity seems an essential part of an actors au. So, I’m not naming this as canon, but here’s a pitch if you liked that idea and wanted to run with it :3

The team doesn’t tell the participants that they’ve been recording/collecting certain material to release. If a translation is left out by accident, the prisoners just assume it’s for a foreign team member – they have no idea how close/far Milgram reaches. 

The third trial begins. The prisoners are inside the prison, and on the final stretch of the trials. On the outside, Jackalope contacts families for signatures to release the material publicly. The team thought about censoring names and things, but seeing current fans’ investigation skills, they knew it was a matter of time before they put pieces together anyway. This may be super illegal but for the sake of the story I’ll say that family consent is enough lmao.

Some of them are easy to convince to sign off on everything, since it can raise awareness for their loved one’s struggles. Muu’s family takes the longest, as it would risk ruining their reputation. (They’re only swayed because it truly is a great opportunity to show off Muu’s talents for those modeling scouts, and she didn’t actually kill anyone in the end.) Kazui’s family refuses to release his info, but Hinako uses sway with her marital status to sign off instead (I pictured things happening fast enough where she hasn’t gotten an official divorce yet). Hinako still struggles with what he did, but she thinks he’s doing something incredibly brave now. I’m not 100% sure what’s going through Amane’s father’s mind, but if the murder really was in line with the cult’s beliefs, maybe he believes that Amane will be be a shining representation of their religion. He wants to show her off as their little golden child.

The experiment is published in its current form: music videos, voice dramas, timeline conversations, interrogation questions, etc. It’s brought to more than just science/psychology circles, though. Jackalope has no shame in marketing it as entertainment, hence the stockholders mentioned. He assures the sociologists that this will be a major breakthrough for them. He tells music labels he's got the new hit thing for them. He leans into the excitement of releases and merchandise in the hopes of gaining attention for the experiment. Needless to say, it works. Even though the audience has no sway over Es’ decisions, they are encouraged to make decisions for themselves on what they would judge each prisoner. There’s the same types of theory/analysis/discourse posts passed around. 

When the trials end, the prisoners are released into the world to find they’re famous. Instead of trudging back to their lives feeling that society hates them, they find tons of adoring fans telling them how much they understand and forgive them. Even if their final verdict was guilty, they have hundreds of voices assuring them that they are loved. That they are not alone. This attention really helps Haruka, Amane, (and maybe Es) who don’t have a good home to go back to. Not only can they reenter society, they are welcomed with open arms. They are looked after and showered in love. Some of the adults realize they want to use this popularity to lead the charge of social change. They create/support projects meant to help people who are facing their struggles.

And of course, there’s the other type of fame as well. Yuno loves answering fanmail and turning her karaoke hobby into a music career. Kazui goes from a life of feeling rejected and disgusting to scrolling through comments upon comments of men oogling him. Mahiru gets offers from fashion magazines and blogs to write up sections about self-love. Amane gets to live out her dream of being a performer, hinted at in her first two mvs. Fuuta is flustered by all the positive attention his appearance/voice is getting. Mikoto… well, I just wish him luck when he opens tiktok…

Which brings us to the live event! The prisoners have tried to keep in touch while adjusting to their new lives as almost-murderers-turned-idols. They’re amazed at how well-recieved the trial songs were. Those were some of their most personal, shameful secrets, and people relate to them? People love singing them?? People want a concert featuring them??? Jackalope encourages them to get together for one last encore. Some are thrilled with the opportunity, others are still nervous about the whole thing. Some think it’s in poor taste, that Jackalope is milking them for entertainment. But with a bit of conversing amongst themselves, they realize they all want a chance to sing like that again, and see each other in one place again. (It’s ironic because in my head Mahiru is the one to convince everyone to come ;--;) 

It’s strange putting on the uniforms again. Es is unsure about putting on their guard’s cloak. But the minute they stop onstage, they’re met with wild applause. They can sing their fears and dreams to a huge crowd and see in real time how it’s reaching others. They hear the cheers after each song. They hear that it’s streamed all over the world. All of them have an absolute blast, and pour their heart and soul into their performances.

Y'know one thing which surprises me that no one yet gave OC kid to Horus. Like if there is one man born to dad, it's him. Horus before heresy is perfect dad material.

Should give him a kid and get him flip flopped asap...

[jazz-kity]

i wonder what...like... okay. so i dont think whatever clear & kieran are doing are because they are particularly personally invested. they just have a 9-5 of being the evilest people evar. but theyre working for madame x so why does SHE want everything to be reset.
