One man. Three personas. Each one a foil to the protagonist in a different way.

PFTDGEHSJSJDYTE I CANT BELIEVE MONKEY D. LUFFY HAS TAKEN OVER TUMBLR!!!

At first sight I was like, oh cool! I see they’ve added a Luffy tab on my dashboard, because I love one piece. And then I look down the luffy tag,,, AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO JUST. DON’T KNOW WHO HE IS XD. That must mean THEY’VE JUST ADDED HIM TO EVERYONE’S DASHBOARDS WAHAHAHA!

First of all, it’s pronounced loo-fee. Second of all, he’s from hit series One Piece and you better not forget it!!!

Post-trimax knives gets haunted by his past in the literal sense au has formed in my brain. The brainrot is real

[steviesmarigold]

i just had a very long conversation with a friend about why i think steve’s ending is a disgrace to his character arc bc she said she thought it was a good ending and so obviously i had to explain that she was wrong and at the end of the conversation her jaw had dropped and she essentially said “i thought you were going to try to convince me with like, a little story or something, but you brought an entire speech with citations” and i have never been so proud of duty as a steeb lover (and obviously she was very convinced by the end of the conversation)

and also obviously i did this instead of studying

One of the things I hope for Season 3 is to see Mark reading Nolan´s books.

Yes, I know it would be redundant because the show resolved that plot thread in the same episode vs. the comics, where there is a bigger gap between Mark realizing that they reveal the viltrumite´s weaknesses (#35) and Allen showing up (#43). So they had Mark read them many times, to the point William points it out, and Mark explains that he’s doing it to figure out how to defeat the Viltrumites. Once Allen arrives and scans the books, Mark stops reading them.

However, I still want to see show!Mark read them not only to learn how to hurt viltrumites but also because to him this is the closest thing he´ll probably get to know the "real" Nolan; because one of the differences that strike me the most about both Marks is how uninformed about Nolan the show´s version is in comparison to his comics counterpart.

In the comics, Mark had an entire issue of Nolan telling his story before their fight he beat him up (literally it takes place between "We need to talk" and "So be it") and later in Thraxa he gets another talk with his dad where some of his questions got answered and gained more insight (he even learns that Nolan is his dad´s actual name, only pronounced differently and what was Nolan´s thought process during the fight)

Show!Mark knows so little about Nolan, because a lot of those moments were cut. He only knows the viltrumites are space conquerors that killed each other to "remove the weak", that Nolan decided to wait until Mark got his powers to act; that viltrumites don’t really cross with other species and that Nolan regrets the beat down.

YOU! 👉

I just relized you the one who wrote one of my fave fics on Ao3! I need to know if you don't mind, will there be and updates to regimen? It tickles my brain chemicals. No pressure btw <3

Ahahaha yes hello 👋 you found me, the writer of that horribly tragic fanfic

I get asked this a lot, but I dont mind answering it again for people who dont know but, yes I do plan to get back on the writing saddle for Regimen eventually, it’s just a matter of my motivation and willingness to get back into the headspace of that universe. I already have the ending planned.

I’ll be real for a sec: I’m a very empathetic writer, so it’s tough for me to have my thoughts be overwhelmingly negative as Regimen’s universe demands. It was easier when I was unmedicated.

curls for my girls

"and for the girls in the balcony 💙💛🤍✨️"

(about being mobbed) 'you have to protect your eyes because girls can forget they have nails during such emotional encounters'

his music being undeniably for the girls

yknow you uhh, you make me feel so good inside... I always wanted a girl just like you....

girl you've GOT to HOOOOOOOOOLD ME

The Lady In My Life

the 1984 mj doll that he may or may not have had anything to do with - either way i'm impressed with its accessories and outfits and playability

GIRLS ON STAGE. You Are Not Alone, She's Out Of My Life, etc. all about the GIRLS and him being a PRINCE to the GIRLS

being girly himself 💛 this is kinda stereotypey but for example when he'd make mundane conversation with interviewers n stuff. "How old are your sons now?" "Did you get a house out here or do you still fly between...?"

being closest with his sisters, having lots of (older) women as his closest friends

he was a former child/teen idol. screaming girls, especially young ones, were his life. he knew them and he loved them.

gossipy and petty 💅

Forever mad about mental health professionals who treat BPD patients like they have the plague instead of like people who almost always have complex trauma histories.

God. This song just illustrates Maggie Rogers’ genius. As a girl who appreciates a “wall of sound” approach to music, esp with a focus on a strong clear and unique vocal, Maggie Rogers is just That Bitch️™. I’m always impressed when artists can build their chords in ways that aren’t just a guitar strumming them on their own in the background. In this song specifically, she has a bass drone, and she uses these ethereal asynchronous synth/piano notes to build her chord structures. (Because the listener’s ear remembers, if you give them a chance to fill in the gaps.)

And she uses her voice as an intentional part of those chords. Her voice is an instrument in the greater work, the song as a whole. The way she uses the phrasing of her words as rhythmic elements that still sound like they would make sense spoken conversationally, emphasizing the right parts of words in keeping with their meanings. It’s refreshing!!

Not to mention the production. The cool shit that Maggie does that sets her apart. The breath sample as a recurring percussive element. The ethereal vocal oo’s in the bridge that have been manipulated and pushed far back in the mix. She has a “stop/drop” moment on the final if you could *cry*. Her variation on her final *feel* everything you ever caused.

And that’s all without even TOUCHING her lyrical prowess!!! This song that’s about trying to write in a soul-bearing and honest way with someone who is holding back. Her relationship with that person being strained and frustrated. And how that comes through. She paints a clear picture of her individual experience that still works as a self-insert exercise for the listener. A great writer, and specifically a great songwriter, can make the personal Universal.

TLDR: Maggie Rogers is brilliant.

Look, celebrity-hack-author-and-reluctant-viscount-of-cursed-bloody-Kirkwall, Varric Tethras signed a contract with Just for Men and yes, the world is ending, so he needs a little touch-up on his latest dye job (this particular tint is called Rainier, btw), but a contract's a contract...

i know that this is not what this post is about, but the reason the idea of being "too old" to enjoy things exists is because the majority of the adult population is poor AND has a dependant to look after

sure, this is often kids that the adult has had because of their own actions, but children aren't the only dependants that exist and require money and care. 25% of adults develop a disability before they ever hit retirement age, and the chances just get higher over time.

adults of every age often have someone to take care of, and at the current state of wages and the economy, all of their paycheck ends up going to rent, food, health, and other basic necessities. maybe alone they might have a small amount of money they could use for personal items, but with a dependant, this gets much harder

the idea that people are too old to enjoy things isn't because of age, but because of responsibility. contrary to what (american) media shows you, most people are not doing everything alone. they have kids, or they have elderly parents, grandparents, they have a disabled sibling or spouse that they care for. people that for one reason or another, don't make any money. this doesn't mean they're inherently a burden, but it does mean that the breadwinner is often stretched thin.

they are busy working, or they are busy taking care of people. and when they are done, they are sometimes too mentally and physically exhausted to invest time in things like fandom, or video games, or collecting figures.

this doesn't perfectly illustrate the experience of every poor person on earth of course, but i'm trying to explain why it might feel like some adults are "boring" and think that they are "too old" to enjoy things

oh shit js remembered the geography test we have uh. today

Trying to get lost in the great wide somewhere

There was comfort in the way that the sunlight beamed through the canopy of leaves, and solace in the way that the wildflowers swayed gently in the breeze.

Sketchbook didn't really know where they were situated - the only thing she knew was that this place was His idea of 'the perfect spot for a picnic', and she couldn't help but actually agree.

He'd taken her here to celebrate the airing of her debut in the show, which she'd forgotten entirely. When her mind skimmed through the events, she wondered how...Sketchbook took the time to quickly ground herself before the remembering got uglier.

Let's see, what was around her? What could she physically feel?

Sketchbook felt the softness of the picnic blanket she was sitting on, the sturdiest of the oak tree against her back, the fabric of her sundress...and the scenery around her was so bright and green and full of color.

Nothing was that awful green, but the rich green that healthy, wild grass and leaves brought. It made the man sitting across from her stick out like a sore thumb: grim and dark and oppressive against the bright everything.

His presence was normally gut-wrenching, crawled under Sketchbook's skin like a rampant plague that left welts and blisters. It left her restless, terrified...but it didn't feel as bad today. No, 'Father' was passive, kind and gentle with His words and actions for the time being.

It extended to the smile He gave her once He noticed she was looking at Him.

"I'm so thankful for today," remarked the fake Father, voice matching the breeze in its caring airiness. "It reminds me of how lucky I am to have met you...I never would have imagined that we would be here, back then."

He looked up at the leaves of the tree she sat under as He continued on.

"Sure, I still love toying with you the way I do your friends, but I can't quite help but treasure your existence all the same."

His eyes drifted back to her face, "You are truly special...I hope you come to realize that one day."

The words glazed over her mind - Sketchbook found that she didn't really feel anything this time, in spite of His twisted fondness.

"Now, do your Papa a favor and eat up, will you? I wouldn't want you to go hungry," He advised her sweetly.

Reaching into the picnic basket for a sandwich, Sketchbook strangely felt that things could really be bearable...even with Him around.
