#all three are shady

[recareels]

I'm excited to read about how you portray thoma because in game he gives such a wholesome vibe and i feel like we forget the part where he bribed our way into inazuma with pretty words or the fact that he is ayato's most trusted which implies he might have done some unsavoury things under his command. Wanna see you dissect all the layers his has with your amazing writting

aw anon thank you so much!!!! and i COMPLETELY agree with you. he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, 100%. he knows exactly how to smooth talk his way out of any and all situations, using just his sharp tongue as his weapon and leaving no physical casualties. he’s a master at subtly but effectively manipulating you in a way that leaves you feeling kinda weird and confused—like what just happened? are we good friends, or did i just get threatened? i feel like whenever thoma deals with those ‘special matters discreetly’ he leaves whoever’s on the other side of the conversation feeling almost unsettled, because the look in his eyes does not match the tone of his words. there is something off, odd, not exactly right here, but it’s so difficult to put your finger on it because he’s so fucking good at masking it, painting poison with a sparkling glaze of stunning varnish and presenting it tangled in a satin bow, simultaneously sticky sweet and bitter.

i genuinely believe he learned how to hone and refine this natural inclination/knack he has for shmoozery from both ayato and ayaka, who also seem to know exactly how to get others to do what they want with thinly veiled threats wrapped up in nice, charming, kind words and friendly tones.

About the last post. Genuinely. I think if you've never interacted with kids for prolonged periods of time you should not speak of their cognitive development, and/or "knowledge by age". I think far too many of you either forget how YOU were as a child/pre-teen/young teen, or just had such an out there experience it shouldn't be counted.

Children know what sex is because many of us actually learn about reproduction way before puberty hits. I learned it with the "little seed" analogy in second grade when the teacher had us plant beans in yogurt cups with cotton serving as soil. I've had real sex ed since fifth grade (the best time to learn, since many kids go through puberty around that age). I loved animal documentaries as a young child and guess what - lions have sex in those (in the words of Eminem - "Of course they're gonna know what intercourse is / By the time they hit fourth grade / They've got the Discovery Channel, don't they?"). Some kids just pick up puberty books at eight at the library and read them, or look it up online. Some kids have a younger sibling or cousin be born and their parents explain to them where the baby comes from. Kids make sex jokes too, learn them from their peers or adults. In some cases they might have ended up on the wrong corners of the internet, but that's not the norm (although I do remember all of us on technology class in seventh grade secretly gathering around one of our classmate's computer to look at boobs on google images. Boys and girls alike. It was novelty for us, since up until then we had only seen our mother's or granny's).

Sure. A nine year old won't generally know exactly how intercourse goes, how pregnancy can happen. But many know the bases.

Kids also learn about death early on. I learned it in first grade, and remember being terrified. I spoke about it with my mother in metaphors - I went up to her each night asking about "the pigs going away forever", because that's how I felt comfortable talking about it without directly asking "what happens to ME when I die".

Many kids, such as myself, learn about violence first hand. By abuse. By bullying. Maybe by simply witnessing it instead of being on the receiving end.

The same people who hate children and complain about toddlers existing in a public bus are the ones spreading rethoric of "if a kid knows X they're probably being abused" like be real. Especially nowadays where most kids are in front of a screen before they can even read.

Learn the actual signs of abuse. A child isn't being molested just because they joke about dicks and vaginas. A child isn't going through domestic violence just because they repeat some joke they overheard. A child isn't living in hell just because they play pretend torture with their dolls. Lord.

You knew this was coming: Pegasus.

You will talk about my poor little meow meow cartoon babyman and you will like it.

LMAAOO YOU'RE RIGHT I SHOULD'VE SEEN THIS COMING.

I really do love Pegasus though lol. When I was younger I used to laugh at his "reading comic books all alone with a glass of wine and one(1) wheel of cheese" thing, but. Ahem. My oven broke last week and 90% of what I've been eating since has been shitty discount charcuterie boards I make for myself out of whatever tf is left in my fridge i.e. mostly cheese, and I've been in yet another villainess isekai manga phase lately, and OK I'm allergic to red wine but I was gifted some really nice soju lately, anyways let's just say that I am right now as we speak having a moment of clarity about being an adult sitting alone with a wheel of cheese and an alcoholic beverage whilst laughing at comics.

That is, it slaps. Pegasus was so right, and if I could be doing this in a castle while a bunch of people fight to death on my lawn for entertainment...well I can't say I wouldn't...

Also when my sister and I watched YGO as kids, we somehow got our hands on a few subbed episodes, and one of them was the one where Shadi and Pegasus go into the tomb together. There's this point where out of fucking nowhere Pegasus yells "JEEEESUS!! OHHHHH GREAT!" in mangled English. Twenty years later my sister and I still pop around corners yelling "JEEEESUS!! OHHH GREAT!!!" at each other. ICONIC.

neurologists are so funny cause they'll say there's nothing wrong with you whilst demanding you take this medicine in the same breath.

inspired by this post & i'm tagging @redvanillabee because i need more michaeljack in my life

: :

There's a man he doesn't know talking to Peggy when Michael gets back with their drinks. He gives the fellow a semi-automatic once-over: designer jeans, a rugby that's never seen a rugby pitch, and loafers with no socks. Typical preppy American university boy. Michael slides in next to Peggy and hands over her whiskey sour, which she takes without looking.

"This is my brother," she says. "Michael, this is Jack. We're in a class together." The implication, from her tone, being that she had hoped that they would never meet outside of that class. Jack does not acknowledge the introduction with even a glance.

"C'mon, it'll b'fun," he says - slurs, really. He's much too drunk to be hitting on Michael's little sister, or really to be doing anything other than sitting down and drinking water. Michael takes a slug from his own ale. "A lotta the other law students'll b'there."

"Not interested," Peggy says firmly.

Jack ponders that for an inebriated moment. "Is't okay if I ask your brother?" he asks, finally. Michael straightens up, surprised to be pulled into the conversation.

"Sure," she says.

Michael is transfixed as Jack turns to him. His eyes are a little bloodshot and they're definitely not tracking properly, but they are placed in a face that is - well, he's cute. And Michael has a track record of liking arrogant little maladjusted pricks.

Jack opens his mouth, then closes it. He sighs. "No," he says, shaking his head mournfully. "I am not drunk enough t'go for a dude. But," he points a finger in Michael's face, getting uncomfortably close to his nose, "You look like an angel."

Michael doesn't know what his face is doing. Peggy snorts.

"A'right," Jack says. He clasps both of them on the shoulder and dips his head forward. "I'll see you 'round, Carter. Carters." The plural seems to confuse him for a beat, then he recovers. "Adios, auf Wiedersehen, aloha!" He blows one of them - it's unclear which one - a kiss and stumbles away, narrowly missing the doorframe as he goes.

"Oh, Peggy," Michael says, watching him go. "I want one."

"You'd only break him," Peggy says, and takes a sip of her drink.

y'know I want to say that Gaura "I got this, I got this" Sélfolgh and Bertalan aka Mr. "All is well that ends... not as bad as it could have" are on the opposite ends of the same spectrum but uhhh idk

I feel like applying Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire - Seeker, Slayer, Survivor's classification of champions would work better: Gaura is a Seeker through and through with just about enough Slayer tho that's mainly bc chanters are just... stupid powerful in deadfire and Survivor to her to be a real Champion of the Hunt, while Berci is a Survivor with like half a percent of Slayer thrown into the mix but he's Survivor to the point that he might become a CotH through sheer endurance alone but like lbr he wouldn't stand a chance against Gaura

listen ik we’re all entitled to have opinions about classic who but if one more modern production member talks shit about the 80s run I’m gonna have to chew glass

[tohokuu]

csm is so much like jjk.

megumi as aki, nobara as power and denji like itadori…

there’s so many similarities like how megumi was gonna exorcise itadori bc of sukuna and aki wanted to do the same to denji bc of pochita until makima stepped in.

same w gojo, he stepped in to make sure itadori didn’t die.

then the way gojo and makima both report to higher ups. although, gojo would despise makima with a passion. she’s absolutely horrible.

yuuji and denji are also similar in the fact that they are strong protagonists with uncontrollable power.

aki and megumi being parentless ☠️☠️

also the pieces of the gun metal and devils eating it to gain more power is a lot like curses eating sukunas fingers to gain more power and the radar thing and sending where more pieces of sukuna is … it’s so similar to the gun devil thing.

oh shit oh fuck oh god oh my the responsibility that i had thought had passed onto someone else is actually still going to be mine possibly likely

[giantkillerjack]

Today I was reminded of the movie Baby's Day Out (AKA Home Alone but it's a baby), which I loved as a kid and haven't thought about in years.

And I had the thought, "if I watch this movie with the presupposition that this baby is a divine entity of chaos, will that make this movie more enjoyable to rewatch?

The answer to this question is obviously yes without even having to test it out, so I decided to make it a little more interesting and update my very scientific hypothesis:

If I watch this movie with the aforementioned assumption, then will that in fact make Baby's Day Out into the best version of The Omen??

I'm testing my hypothesis now. I don't think I've seen this movie in like 20 years. Man. It's hard being a scientist doing important science work sometimes.
