Something is bothering him and it sure is *not* just Jin Zixuan's fancy ass.#WWX came back but he didn't come back the same. It's rather unsettling how it feels like he's putting on a performance of himself here.

Hi,
JIN LING IS NOT HOW AN ABUSED CHILD BEHAVES. He sasses at JC and he KNOWS he's all bark no bite. The instances of JC hitting JL in canon are EXCEPTIONAL. If JC hit JL regularly, he would NOT have said "Not even my uncle hits me!" at WWX. That shit STICKS. You are all stupid
#jc#jiang cheng#jiang cheng positive#jin ling#jl#inspired by a jc anti that crossed my “for you” tab#also personal rant ahead:#my dad hit me TWICE and i only remember one of the times#admittedly i didn't see him regularly#but TWICE. and i only remember one of those instances#my stepdad didn't hit often but he yelled#and guess what?#the instances my dad hit me are insignificant to me#i remember being upset in the moment but barring that. zero. nada. and i love him#the yelling stuck to me like a leech#so yeah. abused kids don't sass at their abuser like that#abused kids don't use “not even my caregiver hits me!” as a gotcha#jl is not the healthiest#but considering all the baggage jgy and jc have#THEY DID A GREAT JOB#AND THEY DID BREAK THE CYCLE#jl bratting off to jc who never knew how to talk to jfm#jl being spoiled by jgy who was loathed by jgs#THEY WERE GOOD PARENTAL FIGURES#jin guangyao

They're so homophobic
#hellsing#alucard#shitpost#andercard#'what a guy...' sounds SO much gayer I'm crying#like alright. I know what you are#in the manga he's kinda smirking. just a lil bit#in the anime his face is more unreadable#also I find it very funny that ppl on TikTok use that face for thirst traps when he was getting loin tingles from watching a guy slaughter#his minions and fighting for his fucking life#admittedly Alucard didn't gaf about his familiars unless it was baskerville#bc. ouppy

context: turns out, i have more freetime than i thought i did. in the rw server theres a bunch of extra challenges you can do, and the "spearfishing" one requires you to kill a leviathan using extremely unusual tactics. it was admittedly very fun to do 🤣
You can watch the video under the readmore if you wanna hear me have a heart attack
youtube
#rain world#hunter rw#leviathan#gameplay clips#OK ADMITTEDLY you didn't have to use the technique I did#And there's a lot you can do to make the process much easier#But I can say I did it and that's what matters. Literally. The only reason to do these is to see if you can#My goal is at least 10 but 20 is the real feat#Also I've been making a lot of animatics but they're super unpolished#But maybe I'll post them anyways...

i think light novels are really going somewhere
#this is probably where someone goes 'ashley didn't you know that Chillin In My 30s was the anime of the year last year'#'they filmed the president jacking off to it. the FBI did. for national morale. it's that good'#'that's actually the only thing they show on TV anymore. the president video I mean. that part is admittedly kind of weird'#'why is that even a power the FBI has. does this fall under their mandate'#people are always telling me about joe biden cranking his hog when i talk about anime#i'm used to it. you're nothing special#these tags really got away from me. i need to be in bed

So for Christmas I have a friend whose favorite movie is Howl's Moving Castle, so I decided to sew him a drawstring bag based on Calcifer.
Aside from occasional mending I haven't sewn anything except one very simple drawstring bag from elementary school, but for some reason I wanted to take on this project anyway, and I actually really like how it turned out???
I was so excited during the process I took a bunch of photos - the first one was a mock-up I cut from paper to help visualize before actually cutting the fabrics. So uhhh, here's the process!










(Unfortunately I think I may have mucked around with my camera settings, the bag is pretty vibrant in color, and not as faded as the yellow in particular looks.)
The biggest set-back I came across was I had bought a nice leather cord to use for the drawstring that I could not rope through for love or money so I had to use embroidery thread for the drawstring instead. But besides that I'm pretty happy with the result, especially for a beginner!
I used embroidery thread around the eyes and mouth because I felt the black outlines was actually a crucial part in Calcifer's character design. And used it around the flame as well but that's more because the yellow fabric is a cheaper fabric and I didn't want it to start fraying. 😅And I didn't take a photo but it's two layers and the interior fabric matches the mouth.
It's hardly professional looking but despite its imperfections I think it's honestly pretty darn cute! I really hope my friend likes it, or at least finds the effort endearing. Personally I might have to make a second one for myself - it was always intended as a gift but I'm actually gonna be sad to see it go!
#howl's moving castle#sewing#long post#me to myself during 2/3 of the process: hold up - her crafting is this fire???#admittedly the other third included me Googling how to use the needle threader in my sewing kit as i didn't even know what it was#i had been threading needles the hard way until that point#i used a YouTube video for the general bag design but had to measure out the fire/face on a wing and a prayer#yet it almost looks like i know what i'm doing somehow haha#yes it's a late gift - anyone who knows me knows i'm dead in December and usually can't give gifts until January at the soonest lol

ngl every time I see fully grown adult griffons in the joplin art I hate Assan a little bit more. why on earth is he not fully grown yet. It's been eight years.
The Last Flight happens in 9:41 and Veilguard is in 9:53 -> so that's actually 12 years between when they hatched till DATV starts...how the fuck did griffons ever manage to survive as a species if they're babies for that long?
(doesn't seem like its a good sign for repopulating the griffons if it takes a couple of decades for maturity? That's a lot of time for shit to happen to them in the meantime - babies are vulnerable!)
Scratch that, how did they even survive with Isseya? Did she feed them normal unblighted griffon food? Is there a Pet Smart store around the corner where she goes to get food for them as she plans to have them undergo the joining once more? So many questions about how the hell they actually lived with her for so long...
I admit I was pretty skeptical playing the game that the griffons would even be alive - obviously you want a chance to save them, but I think the game hurt itself by spreading out companion quests in bits and pieces, and after certain main missions were done. Like, it's been a year (?) since the beginning of the game? That's a lot of time for a bunch of little bird-cats to be alone with a crazy blighted elf. :(
Most likely answer: baby griffons make cute little sidekicks + smaller model/animations to deal with + there's no logical reason to explain how Isseya would be able to confine a dozen angry teenage cat-birds.
Respectfully, I personally disagree with having the word 'hate' and 'Assan' in the same sentence lmao. I loved my bird-cat son <3 (but, yeah, he should probably be a big boy by this point)
(Assan is not a 'baby' baby - but he's super young for a griffon? Way too young for maturity to be 'just around the corner', you know?)
Me to Assan:
#asks <3#thanks for the ask! <3#patting Assan was the only way I was able to endure so many therapy talks with the companions - my emotional support griffon#i'm a certified cat lady - so i am admittedly very biased towards anything like a cat -> it's why I romanced anders in DA2 lmao#isseya gets her blighted wardens to build a pet smart in blighted weisshaupt#won't lie - I was distracted by 'cute cat-bird' for most of the game until the end#when i realized at the very end - you are very tiny for being alive so long#can't recall if there's ever any in-depth detail about griffon growth/maturity rate?#but there used to be a hell of a lot of them before they were all blighted - so one would assume that grew up relatively quickly#since babies are way more vulnerable?#assan is pretty strong for a little guy -> but only as a little guy who helps out occasionally#even davrin tells assan to stay the fuck away from big fights - which is both 'I love my bird-cat son' and 'YOU ARE SMALL AND THEY ARE BIG'#same vibe as telling a cat to not 'EAT THE TRASH I HAVEN'T SWEPT IT UP YET - IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU'#davrin was the one companion I didn't dread to talk to because the man was mature and acted like an adult - reason I romanced him too

why are you, as an adult in 2024, still hung up on reylo. why are you still mocking the shippers. why do you believe yourself to be superior only because you dislike a stupid ship from a fucking space fairytale. girl (gnc) get a grip
#it's ridiculous. this ship is... stupidly cliché. like if you know fandoms at all#you could easily guess why people would be into it. hello?? have you tried to watch tfa without your hate-on-kyle-ron goggles?#did you watch their scenes together? you don't have to like something to recognize the hints#hell. at the time i didn't really like jonerys but i realized they were going to be a thing when i read agot in 2011#like folks. it's been nearly TEN LONG YEARS. let it go. LET IT FUCKING GOOOO#and for the lucy/cooper shippers out there who think reylos are (again) delusional when they compare the two ships:#no. *you* are being delusional only because you think reylo is unsexy and uncool (which is your right to think btw. obv)#if you can't see why someone would like both of these pairings for similar reasons... idk what to say honestly#people compared it to hannigram... honestly. again i see why they would appeal to anyone who's into both ships#i really do. but... unpopular opinion (since i'm more of a clannibal fan than i could ever be of reylo):#they are more similar to reylo than will/hannibal. there i said it#i'm not talking about the writing (admittedly the quality of it was questionable). i'm talking about tropes#never mind that imo the ghoul is more akin to vader than kylo but whatever#hannibal is an unapologetic kind of villain. he's not gonna have a redemption arc and that's okay#cooper is an antivillain who used to be a good man and became a disfigured cruel bastard. a parody of himself#lucy is him. him before the bombs dropped before he discovered the person he trusted the most wanted to commit genocide#nice. moral. polite. infused with the Good Old American Values™. he's basically her dark side#all of this is very hannigram/clannibal. i'm not denying it at all#but what'll likely happen is that lucy's actions will have a positive influence on the ghoul and remind him of what it means to be a man#and that's way more reylo-like. sorry.#beauty&thebeast/villain with some hidden good in him+morally righteous heroine/enemies to lovers etc.#i mean. hello??..... having said that. i'm not so much of a reylo shipper anymore and tbh never was. i really liked it at the time#but i was never fond of the st era. my fav characters are vader and leia and revan from the old eu. just saying#*and* it's also not impossible lucy gets darker with the ghoul as her traveling companion. in fact i wouldn't dislike it at all#if done well i mean#but i would still like for people to be intellectually honest and less puerile. god knows i have my notps#but i really don't give a fuck about the shippers. good for them i guess? i have better taste lmao but that's heavily subjective#val rambles in the tags#val speaks#txt

Consider Yelan's facial expression to be my own in reaction to opinions shared on both X and Tumblr, and I guess I'm in the minority of the 'loud ones', but I'm pretty excited for Natlan since that trailer, actually. The previous teasers left me a little 'eh', but this definitely got my hopes back up, and I'm back in the right spirits for it (and ready to catch some Pokémon.)
Now I wouldn't be me if I didn't touch on the salt that I've seen scattered across the dash, so here I go. Listen, I read people's objections and I see what you're all aiming at, but in that light want to note that it's often incredibly easy to point fingers (arguably too much so) at others while being, quite honestly, hopefully rather aware that many of our own countries, cultures, and its populations across the board (and no, I'm not excluding anyone here) would likely be just as easily guilty as MHY is with these things. And no, I'm not blindly defending them, but I also won't point fingers at only one without pointing them everywhere else as well, including those you might think would 'never do such things', because I'm absolutely certain that they would. /continues on in the tags.
#we all wear biased lenses. and no-- 'informing yourself through social media' doesn't make you aware of how cultures work/look.#people informing themselves through social media is the /worst trend/ that the 2000/2010s have ever brought us. it's insane.#i'm sorry i'm also very tired of people deciding who are minorities and when. and who is allowed to 'get away with things' and who aren't.#and who is guilty and who isn't. and how “everyone is supposed to do everything right” when most people don't even know...#how the culture of their neighboring country genuinely looks outside of simple stereotypes (and usually only bad ones).#we also need to ultimately realize that mhy is chinese. it has (uniquely) gotten a lot of praise for its presentation of japanese culture.#(from what i hear) which is incredibly rare for a chinese company (and others). and then...#it's doing cultures further away from its own less justice. it didn't exactly do mondstadt great. it played into stereotypes.#and then combined them from multiple cultures. same with fontaine. it played into stereotypes /yet again/ in the same way the west does it.#and not just stereotypes from one country and culture. but /several/. but do most people who aren't familiar with those cultures know this?#no. they don't. and why would they? look at even just the west. europe and north america think that they're similar. /they are so not/.#if WE can't/won't even get it right. and yet we pretend to every damned day; why are we condemning a country halfway across the globe?#and also no-- i don't think latam or africa would portray china properly. or france. or the states.#... but you know what all this'll still do? cause people to look up and go 'hey this is so cool-- i want to know the inspiration'.#and people will still look into it. and people will learn.#and people will be drawn to them in life outside of their homes. or at least the ones who want to touch grass. and maybe even foreign grass#sanity knows i've looked infinitely more into chinese culture and customs because of liyue than ever before. with a much higher...#interest than i've ever admittedly had in regards to china. /ever/. just like i've had other games do the same for other cultures...#way across the globe.#[ salt. ] should i be quieter next time? / no. no… it's fine. children don't learn unless you shout at them.#[ out of character. ] don't bend or water it down. don't try to make it logical. rather: follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

I watched a let's play of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and OOPS looks like I ended up drawing Rabbid OC
His name is Tricky Treat, a chaotic and mischievous witch Rabbid with a love of magic and especially sweets, who casts magic with a lollipop wand that is still edible and ever replenishing.
#mario + rabbids#rayman#rabbids#rabbid oc#witch oc#i love how it took putting the rabbids in a different game than the one they came from to make us like them#and also giving some of them designs that unironically slap#but remember when hating them with a passionate fury was the popular opinion?#cuz i do#admittedly i never quite got behind that sentiment#yeah i get they were annoying and overtook the rayman franchise but they never severely aggravated me#then again i was pretty young and didn't even know what a rayman was

i wish more than anything that people online actually got Vivienne bc currently i have to defend her far more than i would want to because so many people don't GET her and end up accusing her of being the wrong kind of annoying and so i have to defend her as if she doesn't remind me of one of my most frustrating to talk to cousins
#vivienne de fer#dai#even if you could romance her i could not bring myself to because i look and talk to her and i think “hi Auntie”#bc she looks and sounds and acts like some of my aunts#people say the vivienne is a self hating mage and/or wants to put mages in concentration camps#and this take tells me that you're not black#not in a “white people always have bad takes on non white characters” way#but in a “vivienne is a very specific type of person and if you're black you know at least two”#side note whoever made her a darkskin black woman im kissing you on the mouth#Vivienne's whole deal is respectability politics. which is annoying but not what people accuse her of#she doesn't think that mages should be oppressed if you listen to her she thinks that the the circle is a force for good#she thinks that the system is flawed yes but should be fixed instead of gotten rid of#and that people's bad experiences with the circle are a problem with individuals and not the system as a whole#because even though she had to work hard and admittedly did go through adversity she eventually got into her current position#she manages to make the system work for her and thinks everyone else who didn't do that same isn't dedicated enough#but she thinks that the circles are needed to protect mages and that destroying the system would cause more problems then it would fix#if you are black and live in the DMV you know a Vivienne. She's like 40-75 and works in the federal government#she votes democrat but shes def on the more center leaning right side it's just that America is a two party system and she hates Republican#she's one of those people who thinks that policing isn't inherently bad it's just that there's a lot of bad apples#she emphasizes the importance of peaceful protest bc “violence just turns people against you in the long run”#and she does actually organize things#but like she's the only one in your extended family that remembers you use they/them

I'm re-watching Leverage, and knowing what Nate will get them into later, seeing him be the one to go "what, no, we're not doing this, that's the mafia, it's too dangerous, are you stupid" in The Wedding Job is very, very funny.
#leverage#admittedly I think he's using it as an excuse for his control issues#given Sophie brought in this client and he didn't like that#but still

I get using no specific iteration of the TMNT in a crossover and just making yet another new version. After all, the franchise has had many, many different versions at this point, so it's easy to accept that this is simply one more to add to the pile.
But Naruto has... one. Just the one. So when all of a sudden characters are written/shown to have expertise that they shouldn't have at the age they're being depicted, it just ends up feeling weird.
I get that fitting things into the Naruto timeline can be a chore. Do it too early, and Sakura is kinda useless. Do it too late, and Sasuke's off murdering people. And if you try to set it after the series, the power levels are seriously gonna be out of whack.
But breaking the only canon that has ever existed for these characters makes them feel like... not the same characters. I might be the only one who cares about this, but it really took me out of the story, to the point where I couldn't help but focus on it. I don't want to be distracted from page one of a silly ninja crossover comic.
#almost as distracting as the weird dialogue given to all the naruto characters i mean wut lol#unsurprisingly i didn't care for how the naruto characters were handled#i went into this issue knowing this would most likely be the case#i am admittedly very harsh on how i judge naruto characterizations pre time jump#ah well#who knows maybe in the end the story will be worth it but at just 4 issues i'm not gonna hold my breath#more specific spoilers below...#i feel like they really should have just left sakura her normal self#if you know her character well enough you could totally pull off a fight between her and raph#he is a brawler and very straightforward but sakura is smart and has excellent chakra control#honestly just use her zaku fight tactics - substitution until you can get a surprise attack#or have her tree climb to get away and attack from range using paper bombs#i'd say she could use clones as a distraction but obviously that's too close to naruto's thing#like you can still make a fight with her work it's not like any of the tmnt were using anything other than taijutsu#but we've already seen covers with naruto using rasengan so i'm guessing she won't be the only one with extra powers#(i know the anime stuck some filler eps in between sasuke waking from his itachi induced coma and his fight with naruto on the roof)#(but those are non-canon and frankly really ruin the flow so i've always hated that they existed even if the kakashi mask one is amusing)#(but if you go by the anime's canon i guess you could technically have naruto knowing rasengan if this story is set then)#also uh sasuke you know you have the sharingan right#why weren't you using it you basically always use it post chuunin exams#though admittedly what the two tomoe sharingan is capable of isn't always clear as sometimes he can see attacks coming#(avoiding gaara's sand ball spikes or seeing haku's fast movement)#and sometimes he can't (like kyuubi naruto at the valley of the end until he gets his third tomoe)#ANYWAY i just really wanted to rant a bit about this thing so uh yeah i ranted XD#not tagging but i suppose it might still come up in searches... ehhhhhh i'll delete the post if i start getting hate or something lol

They don't even know that Hoennian has over twice as many words for 'wet' as Common.
#laserland#rotomblr#pokemonirl#we got words for wet (absorbent material)#we got words for wet (currently in water)#we got different words for damp (getting wetter) and damp (getting dryer)#i got my bf a book of modern hoennian poetry and one of those fucking poems#is just about wet cloth turning into a pokemon using ONLY descriptive words for 'wet'#admittedly it was clever as fuck but didn't mean anything to a non native speaker
