I posted this video on all my socials, where I’m being cheeky about how “I bet you’ve never played this NES game before” since I made this nes game, and it’s not out yet, so you can’t have played it.

On most platforms the replies are pretty normal.

But on Facebook I’ve had several people insist that they played this game all the time when they were a kid in the 80s, and that I’m an absolute fool for assuming that they haven’t played it. I really can not figure out why they’d lie about this.

I think that "Armand as a character is an exercise in still caring and having empathy for people who aren't made kinder/wiser/gentler etc by the trauma and abuse they experience and if you have to pretend he didn't do the awful things he's done in order to still care about him you're missing the point" and "wanting to defend him because large chunks of the fan base are overly willing to wildly exaggerate his worst qualities (or invent entirely new bad qualities that aren't even a thing in canon!) in order to downplay Lestat's equally egregious crimes and make him look more heroic and romantic by comparison, in a way that is often subtly or overtly racist" are perspectives that can and should coexist

Glad to see Dream's still speedrunning, this time in the "getting cancelled in 2025" category

I think Kurt should have been in Deadpool and Wolverine because he is wolverines og bff and boyfriend. And also one of the best and most iconic X-men. But we all know he wasn’t in the movie because his sheer cuntiness would take away from Deadpool’s quips and dp and wolvies dynamic🤷

“Oi, mosshead,” Sanji said to Zoro as the swordsman entered the Merry’s galley, no doubt on the prowl for some post-nap booze. “Come here, I want you to try something.”

Zoro paused, eyes narrowing as he turned to look at Sanji. “Why me?”

“Because it’s for you, dipshit,” Sanji snapped. “And stop giving me that look. I’m not going to poison you.”

Zoro’s eyes remained narrowed as he approached the kitchen counter, clearly suspicious of Sanji’s invitation. Sanji bit back the urge to say anything, reminding himself that he needed Zoro to be complacent if this little scheme of his was going to work. So instead of spitting out some choice insults like he wanted to, Sanji slid a small plate with a few dark brown squares on it towards Zoro and said, “Here.”

As predicted, Zoro scowled deeply, first at the plate and then at Sanji. “Why are you trying to feed me this shit, cook?” he demanded. “I already told you that I don’t like chocolate.”

Actually, what Zoro had specifically said was that he didn’t like chocolate because it was ‘too sweet’, a statement which had thoroughly baffled Sanji because sure, some chocolate was sweet, but plenty of it wasn’t. Sanji himself vastly preferred dark chocolate over milk due to the complexity of flavor, but when he’d asked Zoro about dark chocolate, all Sanji had gotten was an eye roll and a scoffed, “Chocolate is chocolate, stupid cook. Doesn’t matter what color it is, it’s all too sweet.”

Which had led Sanji to the hypothesis he was currently testing.

“It’s not chocolate,” he lied smoothly. “It’s cacao.”

Zoro blinked. “Hah?” he said, head tilting in confusion.

“Cacao,” Sanji repeated. “It’s actually a bean that’s been fermented, roasted, and then processed into something called cacao liquor—“ (He had the suppress a snort at the way Zoro’s ears perked up at the word ‘liquor’) “—that’s then combined with a few other ingredients and left to solidify into bars for easy consumption.”

He gestured at the squares on the plate, which Zoro looked down at with a more thoughtful expression than before. 

“Beans that get roasted?” he said. “Isn’t that how you said coffee is made?”

“Uh, yeah,” Sanji replied, surprised that Zoro had remembered that. “That’s why I thought you might like this, actually. You like black coffee, and cacao has a similar flavor profile—slightly bitter, but complex. And the notes change depending on how it’s processed.”

“Huh.” Zoro picked up one of the squares, squinting at it curiously. “So are you supposed to drink it?”

“No, although there is a powdered form that you can add to liquids,” Sanji said. “But this one you just eat as is. It’s good for you, too, in small quantities. Lots of antioxidants.”

Zoro’s nose wrinkled. “The hell are antioxidants?”

Sanji waved a hand dismissively. “Don’t worry your mossy little head about it. Just think of them as another kind of nutrient.”

Zoro glared at the word ‘little’, but didn’t set down the square. He turned it over in his fingers a few times as if trying to gauge it for traps before he shrugged, apparently satisfied that he wasn’t about to consume anything nefarious. 

“Yeah alright. I’ll give it a shot.”

Sanji had to press his lips together to keep back a grin as Zoro took a bite from the square, growing ever more pleased with himself as the swordsman’s expression shifted from a curious frown to what on Zoro passed for wide-eyed wonder, which was a notable absence of his usual scowl and a slight raising of the eyebrows.

“So?” Sanji asked as Zoro swallowed, barely able to contain his glee.

Zoro shrugged. 

“Not bad,” he said, and Sanji bit his tongue to keep himself from laughing in Zoro’s face. On the sliding scale of Zoro-ism’s, ‘not bad’ was equivalent to a normal person’s ’oh my god, that’s soooooo good!’.

“See?” he said, unable to quite keep the smugness from his tone. “Told you it wasn’t poison.”

Zoro rolled his eyes. “Whatever,” he muttered. Then his gaze dropped to the two squares still sitting on the plate. “So can I take these?”

Sanji had to turn towards the sink so that Zoro wouldn’t see the triumphant grin he couldn’t hold back. Because yeah, Sanji could have just explained to Zoro that dark chocolate referred not to the color but to the higher percentage of cocoa-to-sugar ratio instead of tricking him into eating ‘cacao’.

“Sure, marimo. They’re all yours.”

—but where was the fun in that?

One of my favorite ItachiLives!Au fic tropes is when Tsunade first sees Itachi.

When she's first asked to heal him and she's just poking him with a stick going. "This??? You want me to fix this??? What do you think I'm fucking god or something. It's already half dead! That is a corpse you put on my table!" vs Itachi laying there on the table going "You're so right ma'am you should euthanize me. Save both of us some time."

Ok but I just thought of this while at school and it wouldn't leave me alone so-

Other demigod couples:

?????: I'd kill all the monsters in the world for you <3

?????: Awwwwww

PERCABETH

During a full on battle:

Annabeth (annoyed at Percy for some trivial reason): And you know what Percy? You know what

Percy (slicing a monster in half): WHAT?

Annabeth: (pushing him away from a monster and to safety): I'm taking away your monster killing privileges. Yeah you fucking heard me. Get out of here!

Percy: You can't do that! (To a random demigod fighting for his life next to him) She can't do that!

Annabeth: I just did!

Percy: Fine!

Annabeth: Fine!

Percy (sulking) : FINE!

Percy:

Percy: You know what! You have fun killing all those lowly monsters. I'm going to go attack that giant all on my own!

Annabeth: Fine!

Percy: Fine!

Annabeth: Fine!

Percy (running at the direction of the giant): FINE!

Annabeth (killing monsters in dozens): *annoyed huff*

Annabeth:

Annabeth: wait-

Annabeth (realising what her bf just said): WAIT-

Annabeth (running full speed towards Percy): PERCY!

Annabeth: PERCY! YOU DUMBASS! COME BACK HERE-

i feel like in three or four years there will be a group of people complaining about how C4 ends, and they will include C3 in the list of endings that were done well, and i think it’s because these endings tend to age better over time / when the cast gets to cook for a bit, or maybe it’s new fans, or folks that haven’t waded into the discourse yet but will later.
