#I REALLY ENJOYED IT

[livebloggingmydescentintomadness]

for anyone who might need a distraction about now and also enjoyed that one post about how potatoes played a role in the history of europe, i'd like to recommend this hour-long deep dive into the history of the potato.

learn not only about how brilliantly the incans domesticated potatoes, but how they were deeply tied to major historical events such as the industrial revolution.

I did my best but I think this turned into more of a dating thing, sorry.

-him pulling warp bs to impress you. Would bring the stars inside for you.

-protective. He's a little less clingy than Leman so he's not gonna follow you to the bathroom or anything, but he will stand guard outside.

-he'll pull you in to his side when you're walking together so you can stay as close as possible.

-oh? Your legs are tired? Come here, he'll carry you. No, you could never be a burden on him.

-frequents your dreams. Whether it's to distract you from a nightmare or just to show off to you within the limitless space of dreams.

-he brings you things he knows you'll like, this ranges from spices, books, makeup products, the teeth of your enemies, jewellery, clothes, absolutely anything you wish for without you having to ask.

-theydies and lentils, primarch lovers of all genders, we have an ultimate HOWL JENKINS-PENDRAGON ON OUR HANDS HERE.

-yes, he does the walking in the air thing too

-he is literally just Howl. But WORSE.

-you are his Sophie. Without you he is a mess. Not that he'll ever admit it.

-I lied. He's talkative during bedroom business and he's most likely to tell you then, rambling all the lovey dovey sappy stuff his mind comes up with. All of it comes pouring out his mouth either during or after.

-and also in the early mornings. And absurd hours of the night.

-he'll do it after a nightmare or if you've had a bad day, or if he just senses you need him to be a sap.

-he would do it in front of Leman just to piss Leman off.

-cuddliest man alive. Physical touch means a lot to him so he's always gonna be offering you that touch in some sense.

-hand holder. Seriously if he could permanently bind your hands together, he would. Definitely does the thumb thing.

Me: I rarely cry for literary characters

Orel, growing up to be a happy, well adjusted parent despite his upbringing:

Me:

[allastoredeer]

Maybe it's just me, but I honestly don't have a difficult time seeing Alastor as Persephone. I'm not sure I can explain it very eloquently. I had that common phase of being incredibly obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology though I haven't really looked at it in a good while. Some of it is purely aesthetic - Alastor being a seemingly delicate deer demon fits Persephone's role as a spring deity, while his everything else fits her association with the underworld - but I also think the reason it works for me is because of something Vivzie said about how Alastor is the type of person to have both a townhouse in the city and a hunting lodge out in the wilderness and felt equally at home in both settings. And something else I think I read in a book or learned in my Latin class about how in a much less technologically advanced world, forests and nature appeared much more sinister, even monstrous to humans, and nature-associated deities tended to reflect this. Including seemingly gentle gods like Persephone.

Congratulations, Anon, you just made me love Peresphone!Alastor even more and I didn't even think that was possible. I was already on board, why are trying to coax me in further.

I can totally see Alastor being comfortable with both a city and the wilderness. Him owning a hunting lodge makes so much sense to me. I've never pictured him as being strictly a city boy (Vox, on the other hand).

Also, nature and forests appearing more sinister and monstrous to humans 👁️👁️ nature associated deities, even the "softer" ones, reflecting that. Look, Persephone!Alastor already made so much sense to me, but you're making it make even more sense.

Also this "Some of it is purely aesthetic - Alastor being a seemingly delicate deer demon fits Persephone's role as a spring deity, while his everything else fits her association with the underworld" is exactly it too. Alastor having the form of a deer, which are often depicted or seen as delicate and soft, as the god of spring, which is all about growth, new beginnings and rebirth, while still having his dark, murderous, and aggressive side. I love it. I love it so much.

Buck immediately volunteering Eddie to be the bait for the bees and using something ('youre the fastest') that Eddie has clearly taunted Buck about in the past.

Peak best friend behaviour and I genuinely loved seeing it.

Lego Monkie Kid Season 5 Talk

*Spoilers*

So I watched LMK season 5 as soon as there were english subs for them... And BOY does rewatching as the English dub change the experience.

I've watched so many miraculous ladybug episodes in French and felt satisfied I wasn't missing anything extra.

Lmk tho!!!! The sound effects feel different (I don't know if they are), the words are translated different and the VOICE ACTING!!!!

Damn the power these voice actors put into the characters are INSANE!!!

I felt so immersed and excited in episode 2. The extra sounds we don't think about from falling, hitting a wall or being in pain added so much for me ^-^

Macaque felt fairly dry and silent in the English sub but cool and mysterious as he always does in the English dub. He sighed more, made considering hums and scoffed when he turned away giving him a little more life. I heard his motif at badass moments and grinned as he quipped with Wukong.

Wukong's voice actor was popping off!! I only decided to re-watch lmk because I saw the post where he's screaming for MK to stop and not sacrifice himself (I'm not at that part yet but I'm so excited for that episode now :DD)

Throughout episode two Wukong flips character so many times. He's joking, serious, tired and hurt. We get such an amazing range of emotions from him and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him on screen ^-^ <3

MK also has a surprising range because his character is going through a tired, scared and unenthused state at the moment.

I have so many posts lined up talking about lmk! :D They did such an amazing job at bringing the story to life and I'm excited to watch the other episodes!!!

I was greatly surprised at the different experience of watching sub vs dub. I can't wait to see what other differences are there!

Im emotional watching the final credits for dedsafio. What a beautiful event! I have no knowledge of this event until I saw that sapnap and sylvee were participating in it and I just had to check it out and I'm glad I did. It's been a joy to sit here and watch 30 days worth of content and to watch sapnap be adopted into team mafia. All the cool architecture, The cute otters, The different mini events and dungeons etc. I want to thank everyone that worked hard on making dedsafio happen. The Spanish community has been so welcoming to the few English speaking players. I hope to see more cool events like these again.

Also I may add, I don't know Spanish nor speak it but I still enjoyed the event despite the language barrier.

[spinsun]

so season 2 huh?

i think it would've been cool if they had slightly different color palettes for the different worlds, that's what the 3 tailses are :]

Heya fantasy high fans! Are you sad every week when we have to wait for a new episode? Are you a fan of detangling mysteries? Do you want more fun bonding between characters? Are you a fan of Sherlock Holmes adaptations?

Then Fawx and Stallion may be a good podcast for you! Meet three detectives who live across the street and slightly to the left of the famous Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. The three detectives get to solve a mystery! They're also queer as hell!

Highlights: AroAce detective Fawx! Gay James stallion and his cop boyfriend, and James wife Madge who's a lesbian :) a whole disguise bit where instead of getting into the place they commit too much to the bit

I can’t believe after finally getting into siege smp (I knew about it for a while I just never started watching it) my brain really looked at Zeke and went. Oh yeah, that’s the one you’re gonna hyperfixate on. And then he died🧍

[aidelly]

I just saw Mr. Right movie. Another great underrated story, I guess again some people didn't understand that this movie is absolutely impossible to take seriously (yes, that's what action comedies are for). Have you seen Sam Rockwell in this role? That guy is so cute and sexy at the same time. I have a real crush on him.

I finished Wataoshi. I really enjoyed it! I hope it gets a season 2.

I’m going to read the light novels and manga and write some Rae x Claire fanfics. I want to know how their story ends!
