Slimecicle: I’m never gonna speak to anyone in English again!

Quackity: [Cracks up]

Slimecicle: Dude, this is fckin' sick– I'm just saying sht! I feel like a baby that has learned how to speak! Bababa, bababah– 👶

[Starts chanting "baba" over and over with Fit and Maximus]

Slimecicle: I like that we’ve gotten a thing to translate all languages, and now we speak none.

[He hears Maximus chanting "seṃen" in the background]

Slimecicle: Hang on, I gotta– I have to contribute to this conversation. I have to contribute! [Starts chanting "cuṃ" over and over] Dude, we're freak– we're multilingual! The first multilingual– THIS IS LIKE WHEN PROMETHEUS DISCOVERED FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥 [Starts chanting "cuṃ" again]

Here are my main ships in the order of how much I like them. All of my ships are rare ships, so...

OTP: Mevpine (Mevolent x Nefarian Serpine) I love master-servant dynamics <3 And Nef has a bad enough judgement(/masochistic tendencies) to decide that dating his very tall, handsome boss is a good idea. They also read very similarly. Both are charismatic and have an easy time making people like them, highly intelligent, cunning, and sadistic and both have the same twisted sense of humour. Mev jokes about eating babies, Nef jokes about eating puppies (tho the puppy joke was previously used by Landy for Mev too). Those two certainly are birds of a feather and have massive spend-too-much-time-with-each-other-and-became-too-similar vibes. Plus Nef is like the only one that gets Mev's humour while everybody else is never quite sure if he's joking or not. Plus, I mean, it's pretty much canon that Nef is the one person that knows Mev the best. What a perceptive lil snek <3

The warlord and his closest confidant, I really don't get how this ship isn't more popular.

Baronpine (Baron Vengeous x Nefarian Serpine) They are perfect opposites in a way where they complete each other, both in fighting styles and personalities. They mellow out each other's worst trades. Baron is less of a stick in the mud with Nef around and he's able to make Nef a little less chaotic and needlessly cruel. There really aren't many people that can make Nef behave lol. They affectionately call each other their insufferable counterpart <3 They also have a delicious relationship evolution from rivalry to I-hate-that-I'm-into-you hate fucking to starting to appreciate the other's strengths and devotion to the cause to legitimately caring for each other in their own a little bit messed up kinda way. They totally bicker and roast each other all the time but not even the Gods can help you if you insult one of them in the earshot of the other.

This is like my most wholesome ship <3

Mevolent x Serafina Dey This one is really obvious. The big bad that is soft for exactly one person and it's his waifu. I also have the headcanon that since Mev grew up an orphan, raised by a cruel master, he never experienced family. But when he married Sera he was welcomed with open arms into her family by all apart from Creed.

Canon, yet still underappreciated </3

SorrowScorn (China Sorrows x Eliza Scorn) When asked if she wants to date China or be like her, Eliza answered "yes". They have such an interesting dynamic with Eliza trying to beat China at her own game but being damned to always be the second best. Lovers and rivals at the same time, Eliza is jealous of China but adores her equally as much.

This one used to be popular in the fandom but it isn't anymore. Landy did Eliza dirty by excluding her from phase 2 (apart from a brief mention).

BONUS: OT3: Nef x Mev x Sera OT3's are what happens when you like two conflicting ships lol. Mev got to keep his boytoy AND marry the woman of his dreams. He's really smug about it until he realizes that his two lovers are getting along too well and started teaming up on him. I'm living for the second where the self-satisfaction turned into the realization that he made a huge mistake :)

Honourable Mentions: Nef x Vindick Leather, Nef x White Cleaver, Nef x Creed, Mev x Charivari, Sera x Eliza

does anyone have any lesser known ships or headcanons. i’m bored

no of fence to jon snow fans who for some reason care about his exact age, but these discussions just annoy me no end. not only bc there's no way any weirwood flashbacks bran has to rhaegar/lyanna will come with time/datestamps, but also bc there's always comments like this:

SEVERAL turns of the moon (ie, months)?! have these people never seen a human baby before or just have no concept of their ages? even if we take into account travel time from the toj to wf, meaning jon was not a newborn too fresh out the oven when catelyn and robb arrived, there's still a difference between a newborn and a 3mo and an even bigger difference between those infants and an older baby 5-7mo. there's very good reasons these lines were cut. whatever birthdates can be worked out internally for jon and robb from when they're first mentioned as 15 and 16 don't matter in the end, bc grrm doesn't care about a consistent timeline and the actual text of catelyn's pov and ned's convo with robert about cheating on her should outweigh any guesstimates about jon's official nameday wrt robb's. catelyn may not have cared for jon, but she would sure as hell have noticed his nameday if it came before robb's and made him ned's firstborn. if jon's birthday canonically came before robb's then either ned's cover story would not involve adultery (not impossible for him to sire a bastard before his wedding), or he'd just give jon a new nameday along with his new name to fit the adultery lie. it makes no sense for him to lie about one and not the other, undermining the big lie with a little public clue of his story not adding up. whatever else she was as a stepmother, cat wasn't stupid and a bastard who was actually the eldest son being raised alongside her trueborn heir could be an even bigger insult than whether he was born of adultery or not.

BUT, the unknowability of jon's true birthday is not the only reason this annoys me, it's bc this is all based on the assumption that jon must be older since rhaegar/lyanna ran off together before ned married cat, as if both boys must have been conceived asap as robb canonically was when his parents consummated their marriage. and that's not how human reproduction works! even if you don't understand how fast babies grow in the first year, you should know that people who get pregnant do so through ovulation cycles and a lucky sperm finding an egg and all that, not just immediately getting knocked up as soon as one has p-in-v sex for the first time. not unless you only know mean girls sex ed where if you have sex you will get pregnant and die. (even tho lyanna did die, there's plenty of canon examples where pregnancy did not lead straight to death. also examples of people who did not get pregnant right away and even some who are/were sexually active and childless without always having moon tea on hand.) we can't know how long lyanna was having sex before that sperm+egg match happened or even how long she was with rhaegar before losing her technical virginity. if they were married, doesn't it make sense to think they didn't consummate their relationship until the wedding night either? that's the only leverage there is to ensure a status as wife rather than just mistress.

and while i just said grrm doesn't care about exact timelines and a lot is still foggy surrounding the rebellion and esp rhaegar, there is one timemarker wrt robert's rebellion he voluntarily threw in, time and time again: that stannis was besieged at storm's end for almost a whole year. that siege, which mind you, did not match the duration of the entire war. it only started after robert won his battles at gulltown and summerhall, returned to storm's end, and then went out and lost the battle of ashford, leaving his homeland open to the reachermen. the same siege which only ended when ned made a detour there after the sack of king's landing, before going to the toj. even if lyanna may not have given birth that exact day ned found her, she could only be waiting in that bloody bed for weeks at the most, not months. so if rhaegar knocked her up the very same night he carried her off and jon was still a newborn when ned found her after the siege of storm's end had ended, wouldn't that mean lyanna was pregnant for well over a year? that's not how human pregnancy works either! so, maybe that's proof that jon and robb, whichever order they were actually born in, were actually very close in age as babies, much closer than if they were both conceived asap.

and really, jon's actual birthdate does not matter imho, when he was raised not just as the bastard to robb's trueborn heir, but with robb also known by catelyn and the world as ned's firstborn (which he was, in any case, as jon was ned's nephew by birth). what difference could a birthdate before robb's make (even were there some means of discovery) after ned, cat, and robb are all dead? if one is looking only at his birth parents then he's only a firstborn child on lyanna's side, but definitely a second son on rhaegar's side. maybe he was always meant to be a second son with a not much older half-brother! even if the aegon fka young griff is not in fact rhaegar's son, he'll still be known as aegon vi targaryen, meaning jon will never be known as any father's elder son. if i may reference mean girls again, it's not going to happen.

okay in order to avoid getting seduced by sera or josephine, i'm going to have to play this inquisitor as the straightest straight woman who's ever straighted. if she is even a little bit bicurious i will immediately succumb. she LOVES the men and only the men. she's not thinking about the alluring swell of sera's hips or her soft inviting pillowy lips or the way her voice drops when she says honey tongue. unlike me

It is Now

My birthday 😌

I am now 27 💃

[rebornofstars]

yay! it's august! i've had a lot on my plate recently irl, and finals are coming up in a few weeks, but the worst is over now and i'm ready to start working through my writing to do list!

only problem is i am hugely bad at making decisions. i am wondering if tumblr would please assist me in deciding my priorities for this month? pretty please? it would really help 💞

i feel super shy making this poll. hello 👋

[yanderespamton78]

I deleted a reblog because I realised I misread part of what they said- I'm not well, yadda yadda, brain not working.

That said, the post was mainly someone who acknowledged that they now had to team up with liberals (I think they identified as a leftist but it was honestly hard to tell) in order to make any changes saying that they realised this but omg it was going to be so haaaaaard because liberals all loooove prisons and spend too much time writing thinkpieces and ruining every action. Specifically the white ones. (The poster was also white as they stated this. They claim POC action works a lot better but did not acknowledge that plenty of POC consider themselves liberals.)

I think we have to realise that there's no coherant ideology of what 'liberal' and 'leftist' mean, at least not outside of theory. Some people lean on theory a lot, which is how you get quotes like this, seen in replies of a tumblr post:

In the written theory, I'm sure the above is true. The problem is that colloquially, liberal absolutely does mean 'left-leaning' (though it's not a 'fancy' word). It's not an absurd misunderstanding-people use it to mean that all the time. I don't think there's anything wrong with it being used that way and I don't believe you can stop people using it 'wrong' by talking about the theory every time you come across it. It's like the term working class, which in the theory is used in opposition to ruling class. Colloquially, however, it's used in opposition to middle class and upper class. In the UK, at least, it would be very unnacceptable to call yourself working class in a colloquial sense if you had not grown up in working class culture and/or were currently well off and had a job not considered working class. Because it just..... doesn't mean that. It can mean that all it wants in the theory but when you're actually talking to people you can't assume everyone knows you're talking about Marxism or w/e.

I think some people react to this, unfortunately, by getting more and more into the theory to the point that they can't really relate to 'outsiders' any more. They start to talk about reaching your friends and getting them involved in activism as a kind of re-education, almost. It's not ok to see people like that, in my opinion, and I think people should actively resist seeing their friends this way.

Anyway back to the liberal and leftist thing, there are no clear dividing lines in how the terms and identities are used colloquially. Some self identified liberals are extremely critical of the prison system (to use the example the person in the post that made me write this used). Some self identified leftists are extremely carceral. The fact is, you can find something in common with anyone broadly on the left (outright bigots e.g. TERFs notwithstanding), as long as you go in with an open mind about what they think and believe, and do not be afraid to disagree slightly on some things. This is the ONLY way to build coalitions. And you will do it much better if you're not constantly thinking about how awful everyone else is and how much you haaaate having to team up with them.

I feel awful. My dad and I got into a screaming match over my dad's casual transphobia on my mom's birthday 😔 She didn't deserve that... And I don't deserve my dad saying, "Well, now you're hurting MY feelings" every time I try to explain to him why something he said/did is hurtful towards trans people.

[omgkalyppso]

people are talking about commenting on ao3 fics when the site's back up and i have a question for writers!

[idleindy]

I'm playing through Inquisition again, on Nightmare this time for the achievement, and 👀

I made a Lavellan that I love and have decided to romance Solas. I've had my frustrations with Solas in the past but for this playthrough I've decided to treat this as my first playthrough and stop 'metagaming' so to speak. I feel like one of the reasons that in the past I've not really been able to connect with Solas' character was because I was judging him based on what he does later in the game and not really having an open mind about him or his romance because of that. So this time I've decided to stop doing that! Let me tell you, I've only flirted with and spoken to him a few times so far but I'm starting to understand why people love him and his romance so much!

Watch this space, potential (definitely) future Solavellan girlie in the making 😉

(I'm gonna make a post about my Inky soon!)

QSMP is a global community with a variety of people from different backgrounds. Miscommunications may occasionally happen because of cultural differences and/or language barriers, but we should use these moments as opportunities to learn and engage with other people rather than assuming the worst about them and starting fights.

Although certain issues can be resolved with communication, if toxicity arises, sometimes it’s better to block and move on.

There’s a lot of love and passion for this project, from fans and creators alike. We’re all here to have fun, so please remember to be kind!

[fantasticalleigh]

this is most likely a hot take but

the constant freaking out any time AO3 is down is actually really annoying. i get that it's inconvenient and panic-inducing if it isn't from the site doing maintenance but the amount of people i see making this into their entire personality sure is something.

friends, make it a habit to download your favorites and WIPs if you read them. back them up. download calibre or some other similar program, or even upload them to your ereaders. it causes so much less stress for when the sites go down, i promise.

[heavenknowsffs]

Sorry for another vent post but here goes

[fetabathwater]

ok fr like sometimes i remember to log into ao3 and im like man i should like do a purge or smth on fics esp ones that are now like officially older than idk. 7yrs. but then its cute looking thru comments and seeing ppl have bookmarked it and idk like. its not about numbers. it just nice to know that ppl do say they come back to it? yknow?

[we-joyless-few]

i wanted to say an overdue massive thank you to @realmoonlight for posting all the models that they have.

i wouldn’t be able to make all the renders and avatars and ocs that i have without finding their page!

it’s so hard to get the models from that game, so to find so many available is like finding gold.

thank you again!
