I can't believe you're even comparing the two op cuz furries are literally chill as fuck while NatPer kids will roleplay as NPs during WW2 in school group chats.

My cousin is a NatPer kid and she unironically said her "headcanon" was that Russia was in love with Anastasia and saved her from execution. It took me a bit to explain to her that it's not canon divergence if "canon" is actual fucking history.

As a former NatPer kid I literally cringe at my younger self. I don't think I was as bad/racist as some of the other ones, but GOD I did some embarrassing things.

I was working on a fic and about five chapters in I got a message from the NP of France critiquing my historical accuracy ;-;

💐donttakenorflower Follow

Once while I was writing a pride and prejudice fic and I emailed Arthur Kirkland asking about regency social etiquette. He actually answered my email and gave me very in depth explanations about it. I was too embarrassed to tell him that I was going to use his info for my fanfic and I pray that he never discovers it.

If you’re comfortable with me asking, I keep seeing jirai mentioned on my dash but I don’t know what it means, it would mean so much if you could explain? You just seem really nice and like someone I could approach :>

haii np ill give u the best explanation i can !!

jirai is a subculture which originated in japan and translates to ' landmine ' ! it is typically used on people who are explosive and or have very instable emotions ( like a landmine being set off ! ) ofc these are typically a result of mental illness so many people who are apart of the jirai subculture normally have some sort of mental illness

normally it is associated with behavoirs such as self harm, drug abuse, sw, types of eating disorders but not every jirai takes part in these and not every jirai only takes part in these ! there is no one size fits all kind of jirai !

ofc people often like to paint us as the ' dark side of jirai kei ' which is a little silly to me as thats literally what jirai is ! jirai has a strong relation to the dark girly kei fashion but wearing dark girly kei ≠ being jirai

You stayed?” Regulus asks, like he doesn’t know the answer.

James just hums, reaching out and tugging Regulus by the wrist until his knees bump against the edge of the cot. “Didn’t want you taking the train alone,” he mumbles, voice still thick with sleep.

Regulus huffs, but there's the faintest hint of a flush on his cheeks. He doesn’t think too hard about it—doesn’t have the energy to, not after a 24-hour shift. He just pulls off his scrub cap, letting it fall to the floor as James wraps his arms around his waist. Regulus drops his hand into James’ hair, fingers threading through it without a second thought, as James presses his face into his stomach.

okkkkk, so I’ve seen this trend going around instagram and I’ve been obsessed and I thought it would be so interesting to bring it here 🥹 ‘Where my Lore Started’ moments from memorable/ nostalgic media which has stuck with me. notice the amount of heartbreak and yearning?? she’s been like this I’m going to be taking inspiration from moments in films, tv shows, songs etc that I love and write a drabble/ one shot or create a moodboard within the ppcu. The moodboard above is not an exhaustive list and I also want to point out that there’s a lot of straight white people up there!! For this reason, I would love to see some of the ‘lore’ that made you guys! I thought it would allow us to gush about our favourite films but also recommend things that others might not have seen and celebrate bipoc creators, films & media. If you’d like to take part in this lil thing please do!! Even if it’s just an explanation of some of your fave films! Also, pls pls tag me bc I want to see what has shaped your tastes and writing styles!! once you’ve done it, tag your faves! let’s share and be all kumbaya <3 I’m gonna be posting the first drabble based on an age gap relationship (Monica and Richard) between reader x modern day!marcus acacius

pls show me where your lore started! 🥹👉👈

imagine u have a shitty old car that doesn’t have Bluetooth so pick 7 albums u play on CD!! (Or tape!!!)

Oh, this game is so fun! Thank you for the tag @wannabelilybriscoe. I've been signing clinic notes for the past hour whilst considering my options...

Room On Fire - The Strokes. I consider this a perfect album and have thought so for more than two decades now.

Who's Next - The Who. I had to choose a nostalgic album, and I weighed various Beatles, CSNY, and Queen albums, but I ultimately landed here. This album has range and is singable, and Baba O'Riley just feels road trippy to me.

Hot Fuss - The Killers. Ugh, this was a painful choice because I was mentally pitting it against Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Modern Vampires of the City, and my beloved AM by Arctic Monkeys, but I think Hot Fuss has that driving je ne sais quoi and is also a flawless album for the genre.

Reputation - Taylor Swift. I limited myself to one Taylor album, and I really, really wanted to pick Lover. But... while Lover is dearest to my heart, Reputation is my genuine no skip album. When I listen to it, no matter what mood I'm in, I almost always listen straight through. '...Ready For It?' on the road is just unmatched.

Dil Se - A.R. Rahman. This album fought for its life to be included because it's only six songs. But I can't have a car without quintessential 90s Bollywood, so here we are.

Wanted On Voyage - George Ezra. This one was up against Billie, Gracie, and Hozier, so I'm almost surprised at myself for choosing it. But I do consider it a perfect debut album, it diversifies the overall vibe by adding a little bit of mellow, and it's just very special to me because of what it meant to me when it was released.

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess - Chappell Roan. I feel like she doesn't need any explanation actually. I don't care that it's only a year and a half old, it's already timeless.

So there! Sorry for the literal essay @wannabelilybriscoe, but I love this game a lot!

Wip Wednesday

I was tagged by @bangpop91 and @beanarie

I wanted to post cute scene from triplets, but when I woke up I had this in my mimd for my really old wip. Soooooo meet angst instead 🥰😘

"That's it," Tommy ends the explanation of everything that happened between him and Eddie last two weeks.

"Ok," Buck nods.

"Ok? Just ok?"

Gosh, sometimes Buck hates Eddie's voice and bitchy attitude.

"I'm happy about you, Eddie. It's incredible feeling to finally know it about yourself."

"You don't really look supportive," his best frue crosses his hands on his chest.

Buck counts on his fingers because he can be a bitch too.

"I have a headache so bad both of you have t-wins. I can throw up any second and I still feel betrayed because for a really long moment I believed my boyfriend and "best" friend we're cheating on me."

Maybe soon he will regret these air quotes he made, but not this moment. Eddie deserves it for a while.

"So yeah sorry about not running around with bi flag and making you a cake with 'congratulations with joining boykissers'. Tomorrow, I swear."

"I expected better from you," Eddie says with anger and Tommy nods too.

Buck thinks he can actually broke up with both of them now for good.

"Oh yeah? From you I got one hug, and you barely was k-keeping attention on me! Why? Oh, yeah, because you were overthinking that your dick's not ok that Marisol was a nun. And you know, you were the first."

"What?"

"If we're not counting Maddie who I came out to accidentally because I felt bad for lying to you and nohoming Tommy, I came out to you first. I wanted you to be the first to know. Not Marisol, Bobby, Maddie or anyone. You. I wanted you to be the first person I chose to come out," here he loses all his anger. It's just him and Eddie right? He can try his damnedest but wont be enough of a friend. "Sorry for not being such a good friend or mature enough, or something. And yeah, sorry for making everything about myself. Say hi to Sal.

"Evan? Where're you going?" Tommy asks softly and Buck still doesn't want to see him.

"Throw up and nap. It's three of both of you now."

He leaves the room. Today is going to be long.

Interviews with Alan Tudyk that hint how his character and the plot of Wreck it Ralph had been reworked several times during the two years of production until the last moment!

Rich Moore also made very similar statements but unfortunately I can't find the sources at the moment.

I mentioned it in a comment on the video analysis of @randomalistic (fantastic video ✨) as one of the possible explanations of why there aren't that many concept art of Turbo (or so it seems)

First one there is an introduction of the podcast by King Candy himself :) then they start talking about Wreck it Ralph from 5:10 minute

Second interview around 6:45

[dallas-stars-in-my-eyes]

okay so i'm loving all the posts about how Nolan Patrick came out of the woods to do a public tknp reunion because he's (not so) secretly a dramatic bitch and he didn't like his heartbreaking trade narrative being overshadowed...

BUT hear me out with this alternate explanation:

Jamie Drysdale shows up to Philly absolutely REELING from being traded away from his (hockey) soulmate and he's not hiding it well and as we all know, one person in his new locker room is acutely familiar with that feeling. so TK recognizes that look on Jamie's face, takes him under his wing a little, maybe invites him over after practice to hang.

Jamie is NOT doing well, and TK is kinda empathizing/comforting, but then Jamie starts talking about how not only is he not with Trevor anymore, but he's gotta figure out a whole new life and a whole new team and TK realizes it's not actually him who Jamie needs to talk to.

So TK texts Patty and begs him to talk to "the kid" and help him out and since the flyers are about to be in winnipeg anyway, NP agrees to come say hello ("but you can't force me to talk about feelings Travis. I won't do it"). And then despite everything he says, Patty sits down with Jamie and has a heart to heart with him and reassures him that some hockey (b)romances can actually survive a trade.

Is there any explanation for the ludonarrative dissonance between the description of Douman's Hedonism skill (takes pleasure in the suffering of others) and its in-game effect (np gain when damaged up = takes pleasure in/weaponizes his own suffering?) or was it just a gameplay balance concern?

Douman's pain is simply just as sexy as the pain of others. He's a freak like that.

[ahotknife]

love that you've decided adam is a comp sci major because i think outside of the obvious practical purposes he'd really enjoy the more theoretical parts - i could see him really invested in P versus NP, and i also think the thesis of that problem applies to other parts of his life (something being easy to confirm but difficult to reach, etc)

thank you thank you i can honestly think of no other explanation for his inexplicable technological prowess in td3... and i cannot think what else he might do for the government that's mysterious and important and sometimes requires travel... i bet he would be able to code some really sick tumblr blog themes

"No, you misunderstand me. I'm not shocked that you got so drunk you got kicked out of an awards show, I'm shocked about what you were drinking. You got fucked up on white wine? Really? You couldn't do shots of tequila or something respectable?" Remus laughs, "I genuinely don't think anyone has had that reaction when I've told them I'm an alcoholic before." "Well, be better at it." He grins at him from across the table. "Be a better alcoholic?" "Yeah. Like, don't start drinking again, but..." "You're unbelievable." Remus snorts. "It's been said." "I don't mean it in a good way." Sirius winks, "Yes, you do."

To the kind anon who responded to my Revali post: thank you! I didn't got the chance to play the DLC so I was speaking by what I saw in the botw memories and not the DLC ones, so I didn't know about the info in the diaries (idk why I didn't research it beforehand, so thanks again for correcting me). But still, I'm happy my general explanation of Revali and Link still stands. So then again, for people reading the Revali and Link confession post, please, also read the post of this other anon so you have fact-checked info I didn't know about before. (Pd: thanks mod for having the patience of a saint, keep doing a good job!)

PLEASE

OF COURSE! As you wish 😘 Enjoy young Eddie not having the faintest clue why he's so exhausted 🤔

That night, the family easily settles into their temporary routine for the week. Mom makes dinner, a boxed casserole mix that she adds extra seasoning to – ‘so it actually has some flavor’. Her and his dad give him a surprised look when he asks for thirds.  Normally he would be content with two, even after a full day of activity. He accepts his dad’s explanation that he’s probably hit a growth spurt. Not that he feels any different. But it would help explain why he’s so tired, too.  After he and Sophia finish the dishes, he flops on the sofa to watch TV. Unfortunately, his dad already found some boring detective show that looks like it has all the best special effects of the eighties. The muted lighting and slow paced dialog do little to hold his attention or prevent his eyelids from feeling heavy. It’s barely nine and his body is begging him to go to bed already.  “Come on, mijo. Wake up.” The sound of his mother’s voice drifts in and out as he half-heartedly fights to regain full consciousness.  “F’vemore min’tes,” he groans, curling into himself. “N’tyet.” “Time for bed. You’re going to wake up in the middle of the night with a sore neck if you stay like that.” “Nnngh, fine.” Eddie stands up, rubbing his eyes enough that he has a hazy view of where he’s walking.  “Goodnight.” His mom kisses him on the cheek and gives him a gentle shove. “Don’t forget to brush your teeth first!” He’s pretty sure he manages to form an affirmative response before he disappears up the steps, trudging to the bedroom. In the space of approximately four minutes he relieves himself, and takes care of his hygiene needs. He probably could have done it faster except for how sluggish his body’s operating.  Before falling into bed, he takes a brief moment of gratitude for not having to share a room with anyone. It makes it that much easier to strip down to boxer briefs and climb under the covers. He’ll worry about pajamas in the morning.

[pennysperfectpolls]

so what are the submitted Penny stats like so far? If you want to share anything before the polls, of course.

I’d be happy to share!

We have 55 submissions and 26 unique Pennies.

Only three submissions I had to invalidate, two for being real people including myself, one for being the victor of the first tournament.

The character with the highest number of submissions is Penny Lamb/Jane doe from Ride the cyclone and legoland with 10 submissions. I’m not surprised since she had the 2nd highest submissions the first time around and was the only one submitted to the adoption poll.

She’s followed closely by Penny Nichols from Ace Attorney with 8. This one is a surprise since she only got 2 the first time and didn’t make it as far in the tournament.

Penny from Pokemon has 6 submissions but only one short sentence of propaganda.

Strangest submissions: someone sent in their club penguin character which i aloud in as an oc bc funny. Persephone was submitted along with an explanation of Pennyness and it was weird enough that i allowed it. (I submitted Leonie Pinelli last year so I can’t judge, I will happen again)

There are 35 Pennies submitted to last poll that have not been resubmitted and 10 brand new Pennies so far.

Number of submissions will be used to determine tournament seeding so feel free to submit repeat characters.
