#I need a hobby

[dianadragonfly]

So don’t laugh at me. I’ve been wanting to build a miniature room for awhile - ever since I finished the little library thing my mom gave me. So I’ve off hand been collecting stuff for 221 B Baker Street. I couldn’t find a miniature couch so I designed one in 3D and a colleague printed it for me. Another colleague was throwing out these squares of old leather-looking vinyl and I literally asked him if I could get them out of the trash.

So, I’ve just been taping things to cardboard and plastic to get the measurements right. I still need to put legs on the couch. But look!

It’s a start.

Sans is growing increasingly puzzled with your behaviour recently: he's noticed you very obviously tilting your head during your conversations with one another

It has occurred to him that you occasionally stare at the dead centre of his face. You even go as far as hanging upside down from the couch when you two are chilling out together, eyes transfixed on that one spot

His confusion continues to grow when he catches you staring while he's taking one of his much-needed naps. You seemed unfazed when the two of locked eyes and just carried on with whatever you were doing after

When you two first met, he thought it was down to your curiosity about his appearance, which he harbours no ill feelings towards, but you still do it for some reason and he can't figure out why. Not to mention, that one spot between his eyes that apparently has your attention so much doesn't give him any better clues either

One day, he finally decides to confront you about it. Well, less a confrontation and more a roundabout, jokey way of getting the information out of you

"heh, have i got ketchup on my face again?"

"Hm?" You are caught out of your absentminded staring, merely laughing it off as if it isn't out of the ordinary. "Oh! No no, it's just that your nose looks like a heart upside down." And then with a big grin, you continue to say, "I think it's cute."

The only cute thing here is you, especially when something so precious comes out of your mouth

My heart knows it wanted to make this into a mini-comic strip but my brain knows all too well that these hands can't draw for sh--

Something I constantly think about is Lance's insecurities actually coming from him being POC and how, from the very beginning, he was set up to be a farmer by the writers and other characters.

I've always seen his personality as an amalgamation of stereotypes of latinos: stupid, flirty, and only ever the comedic relief. but it seems like the writers purposely wrote the other characters to treat him like that, too. and ik ppl think the choice to make him a farmer was stupid, and dont get me wrong, it was, but I also think it's sickeningly fitting.

He had evryone in his life, from teachers to the ppl he was supposed to have this "special, universe saving bond" with, doubt his abilities VERY outspokenly all the time and then was shown time and time again that he'll never be the first pick or choice; so was he really going to continue going through that even when given the choice to not have to?

it just wasn't going to happen bcuz it's easier to be what evryone thinks you are than to fruitlessly try again and again to prove them wrong. why would he continue this up hill fight when the war was already over? he wasn't needed and he KNEW that, so why would he stay in space instead of being what he was told he should've been all along? A farmer. A reminiscing, widowed farmer becuz what else could a latino ever be? he was "just a boy from Cuba" so obviously he would never get the girl or be a leader or have dreams outside of what his skin color deemed possible. even if his very soul yearned for the moon and stars, just like the ocean, he's forever made and stuck to the Earth.

anyways....siri, play Your Best American Girl by Mitski 😛

Tiny theory that has so many plot holes and possibly makes no sense cuz I'm bored:

We all know the theory of Elise getting her personality from Yosano, and her hair type from Dazai, right? No? Well now you do, so I wanted to add a little part of my own onto it.

Elise is designed to look like a western looking girl, right? Well, I have a feeling that it has something to do with Higuchi, or maybe Higuchi's mother.

My theory is: Mōri knew Higuchi's mother–who could've been potentially a foreigner–on a personal level, might have even loved her, but she was forced into marriage with the some rich man. There was no helping it, so he let her go with grace.

Higuchi's mom dies during child birth (she was giving birth to Higuchi's sister, not Higuchi herself), and her Dad gets assassinated way later, like by the time Higuchi is 12 or even a bit older. That should be concurrent with Mōri's rise to the boss position, when his position is slightly more stable. The guy was a neglectful alcoholic, and was only going to lead the family to ruin. The kids that looked so painfully similar to their mother were suffering, so Mōri wasn't above, or more accurately couldn't help but leave him to rot. He becomes Higuchi's, and her sister's benefactor, gives them a new surname to keep the assassins off their back, and visits sometimes with gifts and makes sure they have all the basic necessities that a kid should have, he even lets them go to school.

He keeps both of them away from the underworld for as long as he could in tribute to their late mother. He was heavily against having Higuchi recruited into the Mafia, but she was so heavily insisting on joining for a reason he cannot stop after she found out he was the boss (read: Akutagawa).

He decided to make her hate the Mafia, to convince her to leave, even if it meant being hard on her. He was possibly trying to convince her, and those around her, that as long as she was a Mafioso, she'd be a target for assassination in an indirect, kind of “I never said that, they just jumped to that conclusion.” way. He was being the bad guy to make sure she was out of the Mafia. He was kind of indirectly convincing her into believing she wasn't suitable, or even useful for and to the Mafia.

I'm pretty sure Asagiri was still figuring out Mōri's character, but something that stuck with me is that Mōri might have a personal grudge against Akutagawa; he might've figured out that he was the reason Higuchi stayed in the Mafia, so he assumed that if Akutagawa was out of the picture in a way Higuchi could never save him, she'll have nothing left in the Mafia, and would decide to leave soon. This could be a secondary explanation, aside from the one we got in the manga, as to why he gave Akutagawa up so easily despite his worth to the Mafia, even going as far as to call him a 'liability'. However, Mōri didn't put Higuchi's determination into account, and Akutagawa ended up surviving.

The 'Mōri dislikes Akutagawa' theory could be debunked if someone brings up the drama CD, but like, pookie. Higuchi was going to take him to take care of his health somewhere either way, so I bet Mōri sent Chūya along with them to make sure that Higuchi doesn't have to be the one to bathe Akutagawa (inner protective father instincts are seeing the light of day, oh crap.). Also I guess Mōri eventually decided to leave Akutagawa to live out the rest of his days for Higuchi's sake, he was going to die anyway, and his reckless streak could serve to quicken that.

I feel like Mōri's treatment towards Higuchi in the manga definitely mellowed out later as Asagiri started to figure Mōri out better, and you can even see Higuchi being one of the first to come to his aid in the cannibalism arc. He would only call someone he trusted enough to see him in such a vulnerable position.

Along with that, just look at how freaking worried she is for him, if my insensible theory has any credibility, she knew this guy as the first decent father figure in her life, she definitely has feelings of attachment towards Mōri.

In wan, their shenanigans are so family coded. In her Mayoi beach card, Mori and Elise were standing behind her (they look like when your extended family turns up for events instead of your actual parents) while she was playing beach volleyball; with the way he looked all he had left was to wear "I'm not a stepdad, I'm the DAD THAT STEPPED UP" shirt istg. Chūya is there to make sure everyone retains their skin's health (except him). He looks happy though so it's alright, a tan would look good on him. Come to think of it, I feel like Chūya is always around whenever Higuchi is there, especially in wan... Could it be that Mōri instructed him to keep a closer eye on Higuchi...? To ensure her safety like some sort of bodyguard (when ironically she is the one who is supposed to be Akutagawa's bodyguard)...? Yk what I should probably stop before I come up with more conspiracy theories. At this rate I will be arrested for brain rotting too hard.

Bonus: Elise drew this, and Higuchi looks the prettiest out of them all, and the only one actually smiling, which could reflect just how much Mōri cares about her deep down. If this theory has any flicker of credibility, then beast would be a wormwhole to try and explore DJDJJDJ.

Howdy folks, just curious...

Have we considered that the reason Lloyd's elemental power is so strange and undefined is because it isn't an elemental power? Just spit-balling a fun theory here, nothing too serious

a little long, so take a cut!

But Lloyd's abilities have always been strange. Not to mention, his power isn't technically tied to him being the green ninja... Seeing as Wu thought Morro (master of wind) and Nya, who had no abilities at the time, were plausible green ninjas. However, Wu did know she was likely to be the elemental master of Water in season five, which implies even when he was seeing if she was the green ninja, he knew she might be? (weird how they both ended up having powers that belonged to Wojira and were once thought to be the green ninja, but I digress) Still, it's tied to the idea of "green power/whatever the fuck Lloyd has going on" ≠ Green ninja

Speaking of "whatever the fuck Lloyd has going on," his power is also just strange? He can use it as a type of shield (Shown in True Potential and I think somewhere in season three while they were in space?), he can mimic the other's abilities (Cole states it, and he is shown doing just that, even after no longer bearing the golden power), and an element being "energy" is just kinda weird?? Why can he launch balls of it?? Radiation is a form of energy, can he control that, and if so is he just launching balls of radiation at people???? Can he use fire because involves unstable atoms, just as radiation? Et cetera and et cetera on those thoughts... Overall, it's finicky and it being "energy" isn't even definite, seeing as it was called just straight-up "power" and "life" before

None knows what his power is exactly, it has not been shown that there was any other wielder of said power, and it's not tied to being the green ninja... so, what if it isn't an elemental power? What if it's just as Garmadon's power; it is a power, but simply not elemental. Just as Wu, who could summon a dragon without an elemental power, and could likely do the same as Garmadon (or maybe he can't? Maybe one needs to be part Oni in order to have those abilities. While Wu could summon the dragon because that is his blood, he may not be able to wield the power his brother can) What if his ability is simply something he received due to his blood relations to the First Master? It would explain why he could tap into it before reaching his true potential, just as those who bear powers from Wojira Also, just kinda helps explain how Wu and Garmadon have powers, yet bear no element! And why we've never heard of someone with Lloyd's abilities before

Would also get into Dragon's Rising and how that ties into this but too lazy for that lol just a little something I got curious about Seen a lot of theories, some just for fun, and a few serious ones, but just thought this would be neat to share!!!

Rewatching Voltron and I'm just remembering how much I adore Lance's character, like seeing the show with "new" eyes, I nvr realized how much I lowkey relate to him. I know this is a kids' show, but I think the writers made him so unintentionally nuanced. Even tho I think his ending was flaming hot garbage, I feel it fits in a twisted way. To me, he is a "great" portrayal of the immigrant/POC experiences but in such subtle ways that it toes the line of accidental and intentional. I put 'great' into quotes because his story isn't uplifting or inspiring, it's a little more...realistic for the lack of a better word.

I don't know how else to describe the way the writers wrote him to be besides disheartening. From the basic components of his personality to his whole story & ending, Lance's entire character is like a big roundabout...joke. And that in and of itself is part of the joke.

Don't get me wrong, he's my favorite character of allllll time (and will be until my dying breath), I just think there's so much to explore with him in his entirety. I honestly just wanna do a deeper character analysis of him bcuz I would NOT be able to explain it all with just a few words. The show nvr explained him well or did his story ANYYYY justice, so I'd personally like to fill in the blanks rather than have a wasted, tossed aside main character with no dimension since vld has been my obsession for who knows how long.

ik this all sounds kinda contradictory, but it'd take me a billion pages to fully say what I mean so...yea😭

This blog is creeping up on six years old…

Hey I'm redoing this post bc when I initially made it I was only on season one and my understanding of the characters was EMBARRASSINGLY shitty but now I'm on season seven so here's a redo of what I think the TNG crews favorite musicals are!!

Jean-Luc Picard: Les Miserables (and he's really annoying about it too)

William T. Riker: Highschool Musical (he is judged HEAVILY by everyone else for this choice) but his close second favorite is Chicago

Data Soong: Tick, Tick, Boom! (I can't explain this one, don't ask me to, it's just... Vibes.)

Worf: Claims he hates musicals but actually knows every word and choreography move to Fiddler On The Roof. For obvious reasons.

Deanna Troi: Anastasia (idk why but I just feel like she would appreciate it in a way that no one other than me and her can <3)

Geordi LaForge: Little Shop of Horrors (and he's real for that)

Beverly Crusher: The Phantom of The Opera (because of course it is)

Wesley Crusher: Dear Evan Hansen (everyone is so disappointed in him for this)

Q: Cabaret. Obviously. (Side note: I might do a Cabaret song for one of my upcoming performances and I'm so stupid excited for no reason you guys have NO IDEA)

Guinan: The Color Purple because obviously ORRR Newsies (I think she likes the outfits)

Reginald Barclay: Parade (he's a Ben Platt stan and actually he's SO REAL for this)

Ro Laren: Also claims she doesn't like musicals but she's lying, it's Heathers.

The Borg (all of them): Their collective favorite musical is Be More Chill, which is undeniably the most evil thing about them.

Hugh/Third of Five: Does not know what a musical is but once he finds out I have a feeling he'll enjoy Sideshow and I have no idea why

Quick comparison on prices for items similar to the 28 clothing black hoodie, from brands that that Louis has worn:

28 clothing: 90 pounds, made in Portugal

Aimé Léon Doré: 210 pounds, made in Canada

Aries: 205 pounds, made in Italy

Pleasures: 110 pounds, printed in USA

Palace London: 135 euros (115 pounds), country of origin not specified

Obey: 90 pounds, country of origin not specified

Martine Rose: 325 pounds, made in Portugal

These are brands that I associate with Louis but also brands from the upcoming fashion scene and/or athletic/skate brands, and that I imagine would've served as inspiration and benchmark for developing 28 clothing.

Note that items made in Europe and Canada listed go for 200+ pounds, which is double the price of the hoodie.

Of course lots of elements will come into setting the price of an item, including design, fabrication, marketing, production and distribution, etc. but it seems like 28 clothing aims to be an independent, fashion-forward and athletic line and so far, affordable.
