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.

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.

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

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.

There is a peculiar kind of grief that comes with learning that your father can bleed. You spend a lifetime making armour out of his image, wearing his courage as a hand-me-down, hoping someday you’ll grow into it. And one day—when you least expect it; when you’re least prepared—your father is no longer a father. He is just a man, and you are just a collection of the most fragile parts of him.

Harry was already half-grown when his parents found him; the lost son of Gotham City’s favourite billionaire couple. But before he knew them as James and Regulus, he knew them as Batman and Catwoman. And maybe that’s what doomed him. At only eleven years old, how was he supposed to know that there is no line between hero and father and mortal? Batman became his shield, and his father’s heroism made him invincible.

Laurel Sickness I (Sonny Carisi x Reader)

Summary: Laurel Sickness was a case of extreme, obsessive love that has been used to describe the new phenomenon that is sweeping the globe with no explanation. Individual are becoming just as mad as Apollo once was when he first set his godly eyes on the virgin nymph, Daphne.

Warnings: 18+ only, dark!fic, toxic behavior, gaslighting, dystopian society, dark!Sonny Carisi, stalking, stalker!Sonny Carisi, the world's messed up in this story, age gap relationship, forced relationship, eventual non-con/dub-con, Stockholm Syndrome

Dividers by @firefly-graphics Banner by @vase-of-lilies

Sometimes, in the late night when she was holding herself up in her dorm, Y/N would lay there in her bed and contemplate what exactly she had done to gain the attention of her friend's uncle.

She remembered meeting Maddie Carisi at freshman orientation, the two girls having been in the same major (nursing to be exact) and having instantly clicked. She had known Maddie for exactly three years before she was invited over to the Carisi Easter Sunday Dinner, her own parents were back in her home state and unfortunately, Y/N couldn't afford to go back home at the time, but now... now, she wishes she had taken up her parents' offer of letting them buy her a ticket to visit them.

She remembers the way the whole family had been welcoming, a loud joking bunch of people who were still in the Sunday bests; Y/N having made sure to dress in a floral, pastel colored dress that was off the shoulder yet she made sure to put a cardigan on top as to not show too much cleavage since Maddie had told her that her grandmother was quite the conservative Catholic. Y/N had been enjoying herself, enjoying the conversation and activities the Carisi family had set up for the kids and cousins to do when she had bumped in Maddie's uncle.

"I'm so sorry", Y/N had said with a apologetic look on her face. "I didn't see you there."

She didn't think of anything when their eyes met, E/C meeting blue and seeing the appearance of his pupils dilate when they met. She didn't think the surge reports on the news could happen to her, how naive she had been.

"It's alright, no harm done", he had said with a tight smile.

"Uncle Sonny!" Maddie had cheerfully said, "you're here!"

"Well, luckily, I was able to take the afternoon off", he said, his accent thick. "I see you brought a friend along."

He was a handsome man, Y/N could recall; he had his hair gelled back, he had quite a bit of grey in his hair yet it had only added to how attractive she had thought he was. He was much older than them, Y/N figured he was in his late thirties or early forties and he seemed to be accompanied by a blonde haired woman who always looked like she was permanently scowling.

"Oh! This is Y/N!" Maddie said, introducing her. "Remember, I told you my friend and I both wanted to get our Masters to become NPs? This is her."

"Ah, Maddie talks a lot about you", he said, "big plans you two have, huh?"

Big plans, that's what she had. So many big plans and dreams before Sonny Carisi crossed paths with her...

"My Uncle rarely comes nowadays", Maddie had told her later. "He's the new ADA in Manhattan for the sex crimes unit."

Amanda had been mad as of late, a cunt if Sonny was being honest because of his lack of wanting to have sex with her anymore. But how could Sonny betray his little doll face like that? How could he forsake the instant connection he had felt by having sex with another woman?

The minute their eyes had met at his family's get-together, he knew it was instantaneous, they were meant to be. Sonny didn't exactly understand at first the thoughts that were in his mind about the younger woman, the intense and sexual dreams about her until he was watching the news.

The dreams he had were not always sexual, no, sometimes he saw his life with her; her cooking at the stove with five or six little Carisis ran around their legs, she would laugh as they pestered her before she'd look back at him with a grin.

"Dominick, you're home", she'd said as the bundle of children ran towards him.

Another case of that new phenomenon, Laurel Sickness was in the news; a woman arrested after killing the boyfriend of the woman she had grown to become enamored with. Laurel Sickness was something that some were saying was global hysteria, people falling in love with a uninterested third party, chasing down their loves until they were able to obtain them.

"Our eyes met and I knew we were meant to be!" the afflicted woman sobbed as she was arrested. "She showed me our future together!"

Sonny's eyes had widen as he could hear Amanda calling him from the other room.

Damn all the time he had put into the relationship with Amanda, the arguments they had over making their relationship public or how attached her daughters were to him.

Sonny looked at the photo Maddie had posted to her instagram, a photo of her and... Y/N, oh, how did just thinking her name make his stomach clench and heat spread through him. The two girls were outside at a coffee shop, it was obvious they had been studying by the notebooks and textbooks, even their laptops around them on the table.

Y/N had her hair pulled away from her face, a happy but tired smile on her face.

"Sonny, we really need to talk about this", Amanda nagged from the other room.

Yeah, they were going to talk.

He just knew it was one that Amanda wasn't going to be happy about.

Is malignant information in Fate like a Douman-exclusive thing? How does it work separated from him, if it does at all?

Malignant information is not a properly defined term yet despite how old it is and how much presence it had in the original Melty Blood. Nasu tends to mention it with the attached explanation "information entirely harmful to intelligent life", and more recently "what's inconvenient for humans to have while trying to perform good deeds". Really vague stuff, so we gotta look for patterns in our case examples.

The first place to look at is the character the concept was created for. Night of Wallachia. Dead Apostle Zepia, and consequently his successor Dead Apostle Sion. Night of Wallachia's gimmick is that Zepia is no longer corporeal but still exists as a curse that manifests in communities plagued by rumors and ingests the community's blood by giving physical form to their malignant information. The thing about his Tatari forms is that they never overlap with real people. They're either characters who are already dead (Nrvnqsr, Satsuki, the original Zepia Eltnam Oberon) or alternate possibilities of the living characters (Nanaya, Red Arcueid). Falsehood is the keyword with Tatari/Night of Wallachia and malignant information is his keyword for falsehood.

Next, CCC is what gives the most elaborate description of what is malignant information because Nasu loves overexplaining BB's powerset instead of properly showing it. The Mooncell is a recording computer, so its positive operation is about recording the truths of the physical world. The products of curses, lies repeated for personal profit, and rumors without substance are categorized as malignant information and dumped on the unobservable wastehole that is the Far Side of the Moon. There's one particular line that didn't really mean anything back when CCC came out but means a lot now that we know how pruning and Lostbelts work. "The Near Side of the Moon records the correct history of human society, while the Far Side records the horridly offending histories that were discarded." Basically, the BB channels are made with pruned timeline data, apparently.

FGO has a couple scattered mentions of malignant information in Kiara's and BB's NP descriptions, but they're mostly concentrated in Id and its buildup. See this post for the relationship between wasteholes and malignant information. This vengefulness angle is the one usage I struggle to associate with the previous usage of malignant information. Id also finally uses malignant information to refer to Salieri's rumor amalgamation monster status, so that's neat with the Melty original.

But do you know what FGO usage case does tie in with the concepts of falsehood and pruning? That's right, Douman. The mechanism of Douman's immortality is converting himself entirely into malignant information and then copying and multiplying his data body as shikigamis. Heian shows off the differences between the flesh-and-blood Douman and his malignant information copy. Limbo is remarkably dramatic (just like Zepia fr fr) and openly affected by his rivalry with Seimei in a way that reflects the rumors about him better than the reality we're shown in the Singularity. It's a neat mirror of the relationship between Toono Shiki and the OG Melty's Nanaya Shiki, the most iconic malignant information construct. And Douman being CHALDEAS's choice of Servant to explore lost histories like Shimousa in preparation for the Lostbelt makes more sense with the idea that they tie to malignant information information as one of his main magecraft expertises.

Ok, I'm particularly late and this is particularly NOT edited but....

Wip TSA / The scarred angel

Facial expression or something must give me away.

Despite the urgency of the moment Ashley leans forward seeking for eye contact : "Amy..."

I can hear it, the firm tone somewhere behind the buzzing sound barrier invading my ears.

"Amy" steady.

"Amy" I can sink into that voice.

The clear blue gaze in front of me comes to focus.

"Amy stay with me"

"I want to!" is the unhinged answer crossing my mind.

Ashley's voice, the determination in her gaze, make the surroundings slowly tangible.

As I've gone cold I can feel now the sweat coating me and I start shivering.

"Can I take your hand?" she asks and I know I liked that sensation a few days ago so I micro nod.

Calloused fingers, slightly colder than I remember, wrap my palm and feel strangely familiar.

"Squeeze my hand" she prompts.

It helps me to ground so I do it, several times, as I slowly come back.

Probably a couple of minutes goes past, not sure, then Ashley's hand squeezes mine : "Better?"

I nod and probably have to let her go too.

"Listen to me" a little hardness is back in her pitch : "We can't stay here shooting the breeze we have to move. This tunnel is a short one but it will be pitch dark. You don't happen to have a torch with you, do you?"

I shake head no.

"I thought so. Then you have to stick with me and do exactly what I'll tell you, got it?"

I nod.

I still don't like the prospective of what we're about to do but I irrationally trust her.

"Another thing before we go in" she harshly says.

I give her an interrogative look.

"Give me your phone"

Even if the words put me off a bit I mechanically unzip the same backpack pocket where I got out the rag she borrowed before and take out my phone.

She takes it : "We need to get rid of it."

I wide eyes.

"Sorry"

She checks that the thing is switched off , lefts it fall on the ground and stomps mercilessly on it, a sinister cracks echoing.

Then takes the broken rest and throws them in the bush as far as possible.

I stare at her.

"Can't afford to be tracked down" she says by way of explanation.

Right...

I think at my miserable laptop in the backpack and she might as well be a mind reader at this point because she chin-points at it and asks : "I get that it's off and not connected in any way..."

I shake my head again.

Something says to me that the poor technology accompanying me won't survive what I'm about to do anyway.

She sets a first step into the passageway entrance : "Ok now, let's fucking go!"

......

[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.

It’s lunchtime before Carlos says anything. He’s wolfed down half of his chicken fajita in two bites and is wiping sauce off his face when he notices Lexi watching him. Her seared steak salad is barely touched, a forkful of lettuce and peppers suspended in the air as she eyes him suspiciously across the picnic table.

“Sorry,” he mumbles sheepishly, “I spilled my coffee this morning and had to skip breakfast to change. I’m a little hungry.”

She doesn’t react, seemingly happy to sacrifice her meal and time for a better explanation. It’s maddening the way she can make him feel like a much younger version of himself, about to be interrogated by one of his tias with just one look; and yet he can’t help but feel a surge of warmth at the reminder that Lexi cares about him enough to dig below the surface.

Carlos shakes his head, lowering it with a small, cautious smile. “I met someone,” he admits.

It’s a quick maneuver, the way he bucks his hips subtly before pulling his leg right out of James’ grasp and placing his own hand on James’ upper thigh, flipping their positions. He’s not actually going to give James a handjob, but he wants James to think he is.

“Reg, what are you doing?” James asks, jaw tight. He’s already having a hard time keeping his eyes on the road, Regulus can tell.

“Having fun, isn’t that what dates are for,” Regulus responds innocently, like none of this is out of the ordinary.

James huffs a tense laugh. “Do you want me to pull over? Because I can pull over.”

“No, that's okay. No need.” Regulus continues his hand up the inside of James’ thigh, fingertips grazing a growing bulge. He keeps himself from cracking a crazed grin when James shifts uneasily in his seat.
