I was gonna say something like “I love that we all agree that Tommy would be really into Clipboard Buck ahahaha” but then I realized that we agree on it because it’s basically canon in the show like they gave us Clipboard Buck without the clipboard and Tommy was very obviously endeared by him and I just love that for us and for them

Just started reading ORV (not that far in but I am lightly spoiled on some plot points bc of friends) and trans Kim Dokja would hit diff if Fourth Wall's censor helped cover how fem his body shape is

Like that'd be fucking hilarious

'i didn't think the apocalypse had to happen for people to be more accepting of my gender' says local man, who has a skill that literally convinces others that his boobs don't exist

Imagine the misunderstandings. Imagine them, please, I beg of you. I need someone to vibrate on the same wavelength as me when it comes to everyone literally not Knowing He Is Trans because HE LOOKS LIKE A FUZZY BLOB.

Kim Dokja, very confused but very glad that people are so accepting when he knows he doesn't pass as a guy. Kim Dokja, scrunching his face when people talk down to women and look at him like he'll implicitly agree because he's one of the boysss. Kim Dokja, getting weird ass stares for the menstrual products he has on hand-- (OH GOD BATHROOM BREAKS, BATHROOM BREAKS WOULD BE SUCH A HILARIOUS SUBJECT, IMAGINE HIM GOING TO THE WOMEN'S BC OF HABIT AND GETTING TUGGED BACK BY SOMEONE ELSE STERNLY LIke stop laughing Sangah-ssi, you're being such a bully rn)

He just looks like a thin frail looking stick of a guy, it's like only when people get close and touch (if you're even allowed to... the kids get that privilege via hugs) that some areas seem to have more give than others while others seem more expansive than they actually are. When you set your hand on his shoulder, the hazy form is lower and tinier than you expected... He's so weird.

yet again, i find myself projecting my issues onto Alhaitham

does anyone else type//write out homonyms instead of the word they actually want to spell?? is this too niche?? -> i.e: wait=weight, week=weak, threw=through

Akademiya timeline: Kaveh and Alhaitham are doing their homework together, they take turns proofing Kaveh, squinting: um... Haitham? Did you mean to write 'wait'? Alhaitham: Yes, why? Kaveh: This is a math assignment.

Alhaitham is staring down at his paper, reading and rereading the same sentence over and over again Alhaitham: Something is wrong here, but I don't know what Tighnari, peeking over his shoulder: …you used the wrong 'right' Alhaitham, aggressively crossing out the paragraph: goddamnit.

Present timeline: Cyno is reading over an assignment given to him by the Acting Grand Sage, aka Alhaitham, with a slightly pained look Cyno: *looking between his page and Alhaitham, back and forth* Alhaitham, without looking up from his paperwork: Is there a problem, General? Cyno: Not particularly, did you mean to write- Alhaitham: I used the wrong spelling, didn't I. Cyno: …yees He thunks his head onto the desk

“There was a formula within the band of, you know, girl power, or, ‘we don't like boys!’ – which we loved. But on my own it was more experimental, conceptually. The rulebook was thrown out the window of what a standard pop record should sound like,” she says. For “Angel of my Dreams”, she wanted to tap into her own experiences; not just that of a group, but hers. “It’s about my love-hate relationship with the music industry. I love being a pop star, but I also hate what comes with it. I feel like that song is, like, a three and a half minute version of my whole career squashed into a song. The opening sequence, to me, feels very like The X Factor, and then when the beat comes in it’s like I’ve been catapulted into the music industry. I wanted it to feel super theatrical. Almost like it's got three acts.”

Dallas wrestles Curly to the ground 'n when the little shit doesn't stop fightin', he bites him.

"OW, you asshole!" Curly wriggles around fruitlessly beneath Dallas' bony knees and when he can't get out, he reaches up and grabs for a fistful of Dallas' hair. Dallas sees it comin' 'n dives backwards out of the way, jabbin' Curly in the ribs. Curly uses the opportunity to shove Dallas hard off of him. Dally stumbles back and jumps to his feet, ready for Curly to do somethin' cheap like go for his ankles.

And then Curly does somethin' he's never done. Ever. He stops fightin'.

Dallas hesitates, blinkin' down at Curly starin' holes in the carpet. "C'mon asshole, you're not fakin' me out. I only fall for that shit once."

Curly glares up and Dallas and his eyes are wet and Dallas thinks fuck, if I broke that kid's arm again Tim is going to kill me. For good this time. He's beginning to wonder idly whether he'll bury him under the shed or just leave his ass out in an alley when Curly shoots up.

"Why the fuck aren't you ever like this with Pony?" The shock hits Dallas so hard he drops his fists.

"What?" Curly stares at him hard, hands clenchin' 'n unclenchin' at his side, eyes still shinin' in the low livin' room light.

"You'd never kick the shit out of Pony like you do to me." Oh holy fuckin' hell.

"Yeah, I do." Dallas rolls his eyes, drops down into the Shepard's threadbare couch. It's busted as hell, whatever pattern it may have once had faded 'n ripped 'n stained over the years.

"No, you don't!" Curly's damn near yellin' now but only Dallas glances at the apartment door. Not that the other tenants aren't used to it by now. And it's definitely not like they'd complain.

"Yeah, the hell, I do. I nearly put the kid's head through the wall last week. And Darry damn near cracked my skull for it." Dallas rolls his eyes. He's exaggeratin' a bit but he was damned if he was gonna tell Curly that Darry had lectured him like a kid and made him do the fuckin' dishes.

"Oh, great." Curly tosses his hair out of his eyes in a way that reminds Dallas of the ponys down at Buck's. Or Soda. Same difference. "So you only beat the shit out of me because Tim won't kick your ass for it." Curly stomps his foot and whips around, makin' for the hall.

"Oh my God." Dallas slides off the couch 'n grabs Curly's wrist before he can go far. Curly twists as hard as he can but Dallas holds him tight and the only thing he gets for his troubles is rug burn. "Give me a second before you do the whole run to your room 'n slam the door thing. Tim might be takin' Darry's advice about privacy 'n space 'n all that bull but I'm sure not. 'N I will come after your ass."

Curly stops fightin' 'n opts for scowlin' at Dallas, leanin' so there's as much room between them as possible. "Fuckin' fine."

"Well, I'll tell you somethin' both you 'n Pony have in common." Curly blinks wide, dark eyes at him 'n Dallas rolls his eyes. "You're both fuckin' stupid."

Curly kicks at the carpet 'n Dallas drops his wrist. "Pony's not stupid." Dallas flicks his ear hard 'n Curly yelps 'n socks Dallas in the stomach.

"Yeah, the hell he is. 'N so are you." Curly throws his hands up, makes for the door again. Dallas shoots one foot out 'n Curly comes down hard on the wood floor.

"OW, man, I can't even go to my own room in my own fuckin' house in peace with you around."

"No, you can't 'cause I'm not done talkin', stupid." Dallas crouches down so they're both sprawled in the hall. "I don't beat the shit out of Pony because he's... I dunno. He's softer."

Curly narrows his eyes but doesn't interrupt so Dallas just plows on ahead.

"Curly, you wouldn't allow anyone to do half the shit that the Curtis boys do. Ain't nobody callin' you honey or baby or any of that shit." Curly wrinkles his nose up 'n Dallas raises his eyebrows like that much is obvious. "'N you don't fight like the Curtis'. Last time I broke Steve's arm before the Curtis parents, well whatever, Mr. C nearly put my ass out on the street for good. Last time you broke my ribs we went out for Dairy Queen."

Curly leans back on his hands, stops lookin' wary just long enough to laugh. "God, the one down near the end of The Ribbon? I'm still banned from there, y'know? 'Cause I slammed your head into the voice box thingy."

"Can you shut up for five seconds?" Curly kicks a foot out at him 'n Dallas half-heartedly bats it away. "Pony 'n you are just... different people. Don't mean I like him more or nothin'."

Curly studies him with big eyes 'n Dallas can't help but think they had that shit in common too. Sometimes Pony could make him feel like a pinned spider just bein' picked apart.

"Alright, fine." Curly clambers to his feet, offers his hand to haul Dallas up. Dally takes it, then promptly yanks the kid into a hug. It scares both of them a lil' how Curly melts straight into it.

But then Curly jabs Dallas in the stomach and makes a break for the door and Dallas cackles 'n dives after him.

"Hey, let's go to Dairy Queen." Curly snatches Tim's keys off the table and they both spit into wide, connivin' grins.

"Long as I get to put a dent in Tim's bumper." Curly tosses Dallas the ring and Dallas snatches them out of the air. He grabs a bandaid from the cabinet 'n presses it into Curly's hand as he makes for the door. "For the bite."

"You probably gave me fuckin' rabies or somethin'."

"Yeah, well, it's my way of sayin' love ya kid."

🦊 I’ve never in my life seen someone so extroverted as Felix lol I’m still thinking about the video where he saw the family playing ball on the beach and WENT UP TO THEM and ASKED TO JOIN

Hey, I want to test something, and I need your help

I've been noticing a massive influx of unwarranted mature content labels on posts, so i want to test why. obviously we won't know for certain why it's happening until someone with more knowledge about tumblr says something definitive. from tumblr's website:

"Other folks who see your post can also suggest a content label. That suggestion goes to our own team of moderators, not you. If our moderators determine that the post should have a content label, they’ll add one." (Content Labels - Tumblr Help Center)

So mature content should be under human review. I seriously doubt it is given recent events (Tumblr layoffs mostly), and I want to see how easily exploitable this system is, because it's either very easily exploitable, or staff has a roulette wheel with random posts and is just marking them as mature.

So where do you come in? I've pinned this post of a picture of a bunny rabbit to my blog. I want you to suggest a content label on it (you can check the website above if you don't know how to do that). I don't care if you rb or like it, in fact I'd prefer if you don't, but at least suggest a content label for it.

Wait does starstruck have like a harem or something with how many people she's shipped with???

yeah! she's ✨everyone's girlfriend!✨ no oc or canon character is safe from those big shiny eyes of hers!

i've actually always said this: that if 'dating' as we know it existed in her environment, she'd be the sort to accidentally be dating everybody. as it stands, she's just very polya and has a lot of love and clingy anxiety to give! she's small, but there's plenty of her to go around!

i feel like the tourney in particular is a bit of a scott pilgrim vs the 7 deadly exes situation. except it's just... starstruck vs the 7 knights she didn't realise she'd started dating 😂

Gokuto Jihen Shuibanashi -Akushoku- Light Novel Summary

As I promised, below I will give a summary of the "Gleaning Topic: Bizzare Eats" Gokuto Jihen 45 page Light Novel (available for 300 yen on BOOTH). Please support the official release by purchasing this light novel! It's displayed like a yotsume toji book. The plot is Hirahara centric! A synopsis is as follows:

Hirahara is assigned to investigate a culprit who stole the arm of another Escort from the Intelligence Bureau under the Court of Enma. He heads to an abandoned hotel in the mountains and starts his investigations, navigating it's many rooms and floors while avoiding humans and fighting on an empty stomach.

Spoilers below (of course) so proceed with caution!

The story starts with a deceased one crashing through the window of an abandoned hotel, into the empty parking lot where the moon shines bright. Beyond, in the building of the hotel, a pair of yellow eyes stare forward.

Cut back to half a day earlier.

Hirahara, in his usual spacey way, is getting assigned a job from Rokkaku - a member of the Intelligence Bureau had his arm stolen from him during an investigation and Hirahara has to get it back. Hirahara's lax attitude towards the whole situation an inability to read complicated kanji (he's me for real) causes Rokkaku to simply summarize everything for him, sending him off with an origami bird that acts as a guide through the mountains.

Upon arrival at the hotel, Hirahara notices that it's covered in dust, yet there's still a set of footprints that don't belong to him. He explores all the first floor to no avail, and continues to the second floor. Rather than finding any culprits, though, he realizes that some humans have pulled up in a car.

"Are you scared?" they ask each other giggling. Must be a test of courage. Hirahara really finds humans a nuisance - well, he doesn't hate them because their manga and games are interesting - they're just going to get in his way. He does his best to navigate away from those people, because with how fragile they are, if they run into each other, he might accidentally kill them.

Hirahara, sadly, hasn't eaten anything since dinner, which was already some time ago because the sun's long set when he arrived. He contemplates eating a bug, but lets it go by mistake. Next time, he'll just grab what he can to eat rather than abandon his mission for getting a snack. His hunger starts to mess with his intuition.

He follows sounds into a room with a giant hole in the ceiling, but doesn't see anyone there. He nearly misses an encounter with the humans by climbing into the upstairs room just before the humans enter the empty room, looking for ghosts. They leave just as quickly, though. Hirahara's really doing his best here!

Hirahara finds himself in a restaurant, and gets excited at the thought that he can get something to eat. Unfortunately, all he finds is wrappers and expired bentos, which puts him into tantrum mode as he stomps around. This attracts the attention of a high school aged girl named Aina. She's got a bag full of food, so Hirahara, ever the gentleman, just takes it from her and eats her food.

Aina's curious about Hirahara and asks him a lot of questions. What's his name? What's he doing here? What's his job? Hirahara answers with one or two words. He's Hirahara, he's here on a job, he's looking for a thief.

The two are interrupted when they hear a scream, followed by the sound of doors slamming shut and the car driving off. Hirahara notes this is because the humans left in terror. He wanted to ask Aina about it, but she ran off already. Again, being a gentleman and all, Hirahara gives chase down a long hallway into a storage room.

There, he's confronted by Aina again, but this time she's swinging a hatchet at him. Hirahara doesn't get it at all. "Hey I didn't do anything to those humans!" He says, thinking they were together and those guys just left Aina behind. But that's not why Aina's mad.

"Those two things aren't related at all!" Well, Hirahara has to really wrack his brain as to what's going on. Finally, it clicks. His hunger had gotten in the way of his thinking, but that's right. he's here on a job.

"You're the culprit."

That's when the fight begins. Aina and Hirahara really go at each other, Aina slamming Hirahara into the wall with a mighty swing of her hatchet. Blood drips down Hirahara's face, blinding him. He strikes back with his shovel, so hard and quickly that he's just hitting things. When he regains his sight, he can clearly see that Aina has lost her weapon. She bolts for the door, Hirahara hot on her tail. She just about makes it to the door when Hirahara takes another swing at her. She incapacitates him and takes his shovel. It's her turn to hit him now.

Just as she gains the upper hand, though, Hirahara strikes with his fist and punches her so hard, Aina flies out the window. She lands in the parking lot, unable to stand. Hirahara's about to deliver the finishing blow when - out of the corner of his eye, he sees something still moving around in the hotel. It's gone in an instant, and that distraction is just what Aina needs to close the gap and get Hirahara good with a kick to his face. It breaks his nose and shatters his teeth. He stands back up. The fight continues.

Tagami, meanwhile, has been assigned to assist Hirahara by Rokkaku. He really doesn't want to do it, but knowing he can't exactly say no, he heads to the hotel. When he arrives, he sees Hirahara and Aina fighting each other, their bodies basically falling apart, and still they're trying to strike each other.

"And what are you idiots doing?" Tagami has no time for this shit. Hirahara's convinced Aina's the culprit, he's sure of it. She ran away after all. But Aina continues to deny it. After all, she was just running away because Hirahara chased her. Finally, Tagami's had enough. He pulls out the paper that Hirahara didn't read carefully enough. Turns out, Aina's not the culprit after all. A picture of the guy is included in the description. Hirahara just jumped to conclusions, what a shame!

Just as Hirahara is rolling around, wallowing at his mistake, he sees something climbing the hotel wall. It's got a human like upper body with no skin and just flesh and a mouth, and it's lower body has bug like legs gripping the wall. As soon as the trio make eye contact, he spits at them with a gross smelling liquid and jumps at them - the actual culprit.

The monster goes for Aina - she's fresh meat and he's hungry. She goes for the punch but gets caught instead. The monster goes for the bite and rips her arm off with it's mouth, but suddenly Aina's dragged away to the hotel again.

It's Tagami, thankfully, as he did his best to save her from getting swallowed by throwing a chain at her to drag her back to safety. Unfortunately, Aina's arm can't exactly be recovered so easily. They can see it sticking out of the monster, along with other body parts that clearly don't belong to him.

Aina and Tagami have some quick banter with one another because Tagami explains the situation: Basically, a long time ago, there was a famine that drove people mad with starvation. This monster, previously human, ate everything - from insects to animals to humans. It changed his figure so much that other humans hunted him down, chopped him up, and sealed him away in the mountains. Overtime, he was forgotten about, so the Intelligence Bureau were in charge to watch over him. However, he was finally able to resurrect, attacked the Escort on duty, and escaped.

Tagami and Aina come up with a plan - they can see a special mark left by the previous Escort marking the monster's weak spot. Aina runs to grab her discarded hatchet while Tagami goes in to fight.

Hirahara, on the other hand, is having the time of his life. He loves that he can keep punching this thing to no end - especially because it just won't go down. He's a battle junkie through and through. The monster, however, is not having fun getting pulverized by Hirahara so he decides.

"I'll eat you."

Of course, the monster never gets a chance because Aina, now hatchet in hand, comes down on him and severs the arms on it's back. Tagami goes at him with the pickaxe, he strikes that spot on it's back marked by the other Escort when the monster swings the two of them off him. But instead of getting finished off, Tagami realizes that it's the monster who screams out in pain. The mark was actually magic that turned into ropes and recaptured the monster, letting Hirahara deliver the final blow. But uh...

Hirahara is literally starting to eat the monster. He bites into the neck, hating the taste of sweet and rotting flesh, but he can't help but go in for another bite. He's still hungry. Plus, the monster was the one who said "I'll eat you" first, so, it was fair game.

Aina, on the other hand, has never seen this feral man going to town before so, she drops this great line of "I think it's gonna give you diarrhea" as she stares on. As Hirahara enjoys his meal, Tagami notices that Aina's arm is growing back, which means the Escort who lost his arm is surely growing it back too.

When Hirahara finishes everything but the head, Tagami uses his great rope skills to wrap the head in cloth and bind it with rope, some kind of Escort magic seal to keep the monster from regenerating (at least not for 1000 years). Everyone has a moment to take a break, but Tagami's still a bit on edge.

If Aina isn't the culprit, then why did Hirahara call her a thief? Turns out it's because she took the food the humans left behind. I mean, Aina just felt like it was fair game because they came packed for a picnic. And besides, she doesn't think humans taste very good at all. Tagami, somewhat concerned, asks for clarification. Aina has, actually, tasted human before. She bit a stalker a long time ago, so it was just in self defense. If she had to pick between eating people and convenience store food, she'd rather eat the convenience store food.

Hirahara, for a moment, considers what it's like to taste humans, but Tagami and Aina both shut him down. That's too bad though, because Hirahara is always hungry.

And it's gonna be a while before breakfast.

New article with more details (from Jason Schreier who first broke the story). If you can't see it, I'll copy the whole text under read more.

About 100 employees were laid off in total (8%) and one of the main reasons listed is "underperformance," "sharp drop in popularity" and "poor reception of Lightfall."

So you know when for the last year and a half content creators have been shitting and pissing on the game as a full-time job and the amount of negativity and ragebait content became the only thing to make content about for them? Well they certainly won't take the blame, but I will let it be known. These people either don't understand the influence they have or they do and they're doing it on purpose, and I don't know which of these two options is worse, but I am 100% confident that their campaign of rage and hate contributed to this.

You don't base your entire community around constantly hating everything about the only game you play (despite clearly not enjoying it anymore) and somehow avoid galvanising thousands and thousands of people into perceiving the game negatively. Imagine being employees who have barely worked there for 2 years and the only community reception they've seen is 24/7 hate train for their work and then they get fired because of "poor reception" and "drop in popularity." How can they not take that personally? I am absolutely devastated for these people who delievered a banger product and who were met with an unrelenting barrage of toxic gamer children which ended up having more sway over their boss than them.

Which brings me to the next bit and that's FUCK THE CEO. He is now my mortal enemy #1. I am projecting psychic blasts directly into his brain. What an absolute spineless coward who is more willing to bow down to fucking gamers than to protect his own employees. This is absolutely rage inducing because this has happened before. From the article from 2021 about the toxic culture at Bungie:

Reading this shit from the new article absolutely fucking sent me into blind rage because I immediately remembered this. Another instance of employees suffering because of comments on reddit. And because of toxic players. And proof that leadership is not protecting employees and is instead siding with players.

Match made in heaven. Asshole gamer content creators and asshole CEOs, all of whom sit at home on piles of money made from someone else's labour. I hope they all explode. None of the people that worked on this game deserve this.

Another article with an infuriating comment from the CEO:

In an internal town hall meeting addressing a Monday round of layoffs that impacted multiple departments, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons allegedly told remaining employees that the company had kept “the right people” to continue work on Destiny 2.

"Kept the right people." Really. Veteran composers weren't the right people? Die!

Bloomberg article in full:

Bungie’s decision to cut an estimated 100 jobs from its staff of about 1,200 followed dire management warnings earlier this month of a sharp drop in the popularity of its flagship video game Destiny 2. Just two weeks ago, executives at the Sony-owned game developer told employees that revenue was running 45% below projections for the year, according to people who attended the meeting. Chief Executive Officer Pete Parsons pinned the big miss on weak player retention for Destiny 2, which has faced a poor reception since the release of its latest expansion, Lightfall. The next expansion, The Final Shape, was getting good — not great feedback — and management told those present that they planned to push back the release to June 2024 from February, according the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. The additional time would give developers a chance to improve the product. In the meantime, Parsons told staff Bungie would be cutting costs, such as for travel, as well as implementing salary and hiring freezes, the people said. Everyone would have to work together to weather the storm, he said, leaving employees feeling determined to do whatever was needed to get revenue back up. But on Monday morning the news got worse: Dozens of staffers woke up to mysterious 15-minute meetings that had been placed on their calendars, which they soon learned were part of a mass layoff. Bungie laid off around 8% of its employees, according to documentation reviewed by Bloomberg. Bungie didn’t respond to requests for comment. Employees who were let go will receive at least three months of severance and three months of Bungie-paid COBRA health insurance, although other benefits, such as expense reimbursements, ended Monday, sending some staff racing to submit their receipts. Laid-off staffers will also receive prorated bonuses, although those who were on a vesting schedule following Sony Group Corp.’s acquisition of Bungie in January 2022 will lose any shares that weren’t vested as of next month. The layoffs are part of a larger money-saving initiative at Sony’s PlayStation unit, which has also cut employees at studios such as Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and its San Mateo office. TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz wrote in a report Monday that “events over the last few days lead us to believe that PlayStation is undergoing a restructuring.” PlayStation president Jim Ryan announced last month that he plans to resign. Many of the layoffs at Bungie affected the company’s support departments, such as community management and publishing. Remaining Bungie staff were informed that some of those areas will be outsourced moving forward.
