Nyxy Baby Haiii!!! I love your bg3 theme sm!! It’s super pretty I love it sm, especially the astarion pfp :33

Also saw that anon talking about the person giving the fart asks and I wanna chip in this as someone who’s been dragged into this by the fart anon.

Anon your opinion on this situation is wrong. The fart anon is doing it to purely harass us, myself included. I’ve had to delete too many of their disgusting ass asks despite not even being a writer. This anon is doing it for the point of harassment and it’s annoying alongside the fact it’s just fucking weird since fartplay isn’t something any of us like😭 that anon is an obsessive freak who needs to get a life since they spend too much of their time doing this.

Maybe that anon is into that stuff or whatever but to go harassing multiple people about it multiple times a day/week relentlessly is rude when it’s in our no section. Also comparing it to people who write incest is such a stupid thing to say since people who write incest fics do not go round into others inboxes requesting this stuff especially when they know it’s something someone isn’t comfortable with. Your take is bad and you lack basic comprehension skills :3

Sorry this is so long and I’ve put it on your inbox nyx but I’m just fed up of the situation and the fact that anon is trying to not make it seem so bad is pissing me the fuck off😭 anyways ily nyx <33

omg hiiii!!!! tysm i love astarion sm <3 he's the cutest ever i'm in act three now and... i'm obsessed with him we're dating i'm gonna kick you-know-who's ass as soon as i get the chance :3

also last thing i'm gonna say about the anon thing like... ever bcs i don't wanna clog the dash n idk why i'm getting so many random asks today BUT!

literally my problem isn't the kink. it's the spamming and disregard for people's blog limits. when it's getting sent to almost every. single. blog i follow, it's too much. i have them blocked n it still manages to slip through, but i don't complain. tbh it doesn't even really annoy me that much, only ever bothered me when i was tagged in others blogs, but everyone seems to realise that its a fake ask anyway so idec anymore. idek why that random anon sent the para to me today, bcs i haven't replied to an anon like that in forever, but we move.

i'm mean ig what can you do.

[bi-polar-geminii]

i don’t mean what i’m saying with malice, however, can you please stop putting all your inbox asks regarding the issue of listener designs on the main tag. i understand you want people to know about this issue (if this is your intention), but all you’re doing is making the artists who draw as a hobby feel bad, and just adding negativity to the main tag. i understand how it feels to not see yourself represented, but that’s where you come in. for those wanting rep, you can either draw it yourself or if you can’t draw it and are so adamant on wanting rep, commission and support an artist! consistently complaining won’t get anything done but draw artists away from the fandom itself and make art we see for these characters we all love become sparse and less.

additionally, listeners, at the end of the day, are us. if an artist is an afab female, chances are that listener will also be an afab female. some artists may not draw pocs not because they just don’t want to, but because they aren’t well-versed in depicting their features and don’t want to do it an injustice. there’s no need to rush to the worst possible and negative explanation. i have never seen myself represented in a single piece of redacted fanart, however i know better than to just nonsensically complain about it — because complaining won’t get anything done (it’ll only do more harm if anything).

thank you for making your points known, and i hope what i’m saying comes across to you as i intended it to

Out of respect, I did remove the unnecessary posts from the tags bc they did clog up the main tag (my bad, but also if its that bothersome, you can literally scroll past it, your not obligated to read everything)

I’m not slamming anyone or shaming people, that was never the intention here. It was to make light on how some artists choose to make characters (not self inserts) white simply bc of mainstream/kinda racist ideas that characters in media can only be portrayed as white to be popular or liked bc of white beauty standards. I want people to reflect and think about that, but I never said ppl *couldn’t* make them white or afab. Im not trying to gatekeep or force people to suddenly get rid of all their white characters just bc i said there isn’t enough representation

Also *I do* have characters for fandom rep, I have lots of them. The only reason why I don’t post them is because they aren’t finished yet. But what’s wrong with having an opinion on something? You have to admit, people wouldn’t be in my inbox telling that *I* have to create the representation needed and that my opinion is hurting everyone’s feelings if I was a white creator. Just think about that

Also im sorry but the whole “some ppl dont draw poc characters cause they dont know how to!” is an argument thats just very fucking tiring to hear. It truly isn’t that hard, like im being serious. There are *a lot* of free recourses out there to learn if your super keen on learning how to draw the different ethnic facial features. But if you wanna create a black/brown person for example, this is what you do; draw the character, make their skin color a darker brown. Congratulations! You’ve made a poc character! Ladies and gentlemen its really not that difficult, if your not willing to challenge yourself on how to draw different types of people or your too scared to- its gonna stunt your growth as an artist

This was the first time I opened up about an opinion I had seeing in this fandom, so idk what you mean by ‘consistently complaining’ when this whole situation has only happened once (for me)

[drawnaghht]

So! I think I've figured out how to tag both the leosagi and leochi ships.

Since this is mainly a BLOG and not just a random social media page, it will be easier for me to organize the tags as if this were a more traditional blogging site. So I will be trying to keep the tags as few and as relevant as possible.

I'll be mainly using YuiNardo / yuinardo from now on for just the Yuichi Usagi/rottmnt Leo ship, and stuff like my own fanart. it's specifically "show x show" for me (Yuichi x Nardo, bc those are their unique names in their respective shows xD) and not some of the fan OC stuff

leosagi for the general 2003 Miyamoto Usagi/Leonardo ship but maybe also i.e. crossovers where ppl draw all the versions?

katanashipping also for 2003 leosagi? like I guess I'll decide based on how specific it gets (edit 1.05.23) definitely about 2003 leosagi, since that's where it originated from

I'll use 2003 leosagi when it gets more specific i.e. fanfic recs or longform comics which I wanna find later

Rise Leosagi for the 2018 versions that people have made their own, based on the Miyamoto/Leo ship (lol this might be difficult to retag, cuz I'm not sure what I've tagged with what anymore)

Sliderbunny for people's own versions of rottmnt Leo and (both romantic and platonic ships, cuz there aren't as many posts for this anymore)

and I guess Leochi for something more specific? like that's been the tag now for Leo/Yuichi but I'm not sure where it started from so idk how to use it but I guess I'll find out when I see more stuff in the tag lol. might use it just for reblogs/fanart but I’ll see

I can't remember any other names so those are it for now. I probably won’t use the longer names like Yuichi x Leo, Miyamoto x Leonardo etc just bc I find it tedious to use that many spaces in tags when tagging can be sorta annoying to do on mobile and then fix later on PC. I’m more of a “tag and go” kind of person and I like my tags to be easy to write.

like im sorry I write so much (I don't enjoy writing lenghty things) but i legit need to tag like an oldschool blog occasionally bc I ENJOY finding stuff on my own blog later. it just makes sense! it is so confusing going thru multiple tags for the same thing when it could have a singular tag. or a single new tag for a specific use. and I've forgotten to do that after using social media so much for so long lol

anyway this isn't that important i am just chillin and remembered that I thought of this and needed to post it so I wouldn't forget.

more related random thoughts under the cut!

Thinking of that, I guess the tag clogging starts to make sense, considering how much people are more used to the "tag clouds" popularized by twitter and instagram and social-media-like sites before those (the sites inbetween blogging and web 2.0, maybe, but didn't really use those as much so I don't remember either) + the confusion about what the og leosagi was (+ maybe general tmnt fandom confusion over various versions of media for the franchise)

lol it's gonna take a bit long but I'll reorganize the blog more once I have a bit of time on the side from other stuff. now it feels nice that this blog isn't actually that big yet. I don't use sideblogs very long usually and it's my first time actually making anything TMNT related for this long, so it'll be interesting seeing where this blog will go in general. like how it's probably been subtle that while this userhandle/blog started as a tMNT sideblog, I actually have started blogging more about Usagi Chronicles now bc I like the show. and idk what else I'll post if I have time but I will probs keep it as a reblog blog anyways!

I try not to write long blog posts on tumblr anymore but I think the whole "leosagi-leochi tag clogging" point brought up in the "Why do we ship leosagi" video is also just a good point abt how we don't really treat blogs like blogs anymore. every sort of behaviour online has become so influenced by the want to make it trend or have it at least be read at all ("social media" aspect of online behavior now) that even stuff like ao3, a fanfic site, will have tags like "AO3 algothithm, PLEASE be nice to me" when sites like that don't even HAVE algorhithms. it's interesting to think about but also a bit sad on the side because that "tag clouding" does seem to be the only way for some works to become noticed on the above-mentioned actual social media sites. this almost makes me miss sites like deviantart and blogger because things always felt more centralized and easy to find vs twitter, insta or occasionally even tumblr.

ANYWAY

lol all this just to organize my thoughts on ship tags

if you've read this far, lemme know if there are any other tags ppl use? or are there any other types of tagging conventions we should bring back i.e. mashing the names together?

09/06/24 - 1:32am - in bed “gut, p, and my man, my man, my man”

so day 2 of a bone broth fast is over and it’s crazy how out of touch i was with my body. like i knew i was out of whack but i really had no idea to what extent.

it really is true that a upset gut bacteria can cause upset in your mind and life.

like i can’t wait to see how i’ll feel tomorrow.

sometimes when i eat the wrong thing it will l give me a headache and this was no different. i literally couldn’t get rid of my headache. it started binging on a pizza - definitely emotional eating for sure. i had just weighed in using the scale at work and 3 lbs of fat down and 3 pounds of muscle up.

like i have been fighting fasting for so long because i truly really do love food, but with the help of a lil bone broth, soda water, and kombucha i really be making it through. lots of salt in the water, and maybe a celsius or pre-workout today in the gym bc i am very much so not working out fasted but tbh i really pushed myself with weight and felt great!

i was there for almost 2 hrs… that’s not normal for me much anymore as i usual;y stick to just 1 hour or so but i spent time lifting and then i also did a little sauna and also some fascia stuff i think it’s called - massaging my muscles with a lil stainless steel gua sha lil thing. sweat is the lubricant during those massages and it might be in my head but they also might help break down fat for fat loss? idk in my head i’m beating them fat cells tf up lol.

also ugh there were some cuties up in the gym late at night. i’m def trying to not be too of a horny diva but when i say i miss dick i mean it with my chest. give me a big ol man rn. big. masculine, someone i respect, someone who rides for me, someone who teaches me, someone i look up to

i have been thinking lately i def do have daddy issues like i can’t ever be in love with someone who is a child. like i get the ick so dang quick when they try me like that. i get disgusted at someone not being impressive. i need to be enamored by you. i need to feel magnetic with you. i need electricity. i need you to push me to be a better person.

but he gotta be a masculine mf. i think i have in the past tried being with my more feminine sisters but like damn, i just wanna be like yea sis hey diva kitty gurl the house down boots with them,

it just ain’t cute. not for my forever man. no one needs to be my forever man besides that one dude and that’s why i think dating a waste. all i need is one good one and i trust and believe if i vibrate myself right, if i gravitate to godly good energy, if i lead with love, if i heal my bs, if i am the best most relationally healed self he worn’t be afraid to say hello, or maybe i say hello too but we won’t be able to deny our connection. every other relationship i’ll look back on and feel stupid for ever thinking that is what love felt like.

i can’t wait to be held and loved and prosper with him. prosper. heal. the christian in me wants to say praise too because honestly if he gives me a real man of god my pussy gonna praise the lord too.

he will come i just have to continue this fight to be celibate and prepare myself and heal myself of past sexual dysfunction so i can truly be me best self and set up my time with my life partner for success.

ok i need to go to bed but

since i been talking bout my godly pussy i really haven’t felt digestively efficient since i was douching regularly.

like my gut been off fr for a while now. i am solidified in that because even 2 days in and only bone broth and the things mentioned above, i still have bm in me. like i’m trying to play before bed but it’s still there and not glam or easy at all.

but like i can’t truly imagine how long these things been in me. like i truly haven’t felt together in my digestion for a while and i know i keep saying that but i imagine sometimes those things happen. clogs and buidup when your diet isn’t right.

[amakumos]

i think you just Read my mind 😭😭😭 u said everything i was thinking before i even knew it LMAOFJENDB

but yeah a lot of it is unrealistic expectations that weren’t met. like i really thought i was gonna meet him in the city like he said (idk if i mentioned this before but while we were talking in person we found out our schools were going to completely different places but we would be in the same city on saturday so he said ‘meet me in ___!’) or see him at the airport since we were leaving the same night 😭 and at the very least i expected to keep talking after we got home, maybe ask him how his trip was and actually get to know him better yk 🥲

and absolutely i do want closure 😭😭😭 ur right bc being left on delivered gives me false hope but if he left me on seen at least i’d know he’s not interested and i can leave it at that . but the way he’s left it i’m left with so many questions like ?? will he reply? was he ever interested?? is he still interested? is smth up with him that’s caused him to leave it this long? does he just not care? if so couldnt he have just opened the message and left it 😭 whats his game? 😫

but yeah i agree i do think i should stop hoping at this point its been three whole weeks now </3 and if there ever is a reply i’ll make him wait whether it’s bc i’m busy with exams or i just wanna spite him JDBWNSNNW

im sorry abt lulu guy tho noooo 😭😭😭 maybe its for the best u never knew his name bc the italian guy’s name is … well everyone i’ve ever told has laughed at his name and one of the teachers on the trip said his name makes him sound like a 78yr old who only wears tweed 💀 not gonna expose the name but it’s def not italian and u can’t even make a cute nickname out of it 😭

but yk what at least we had cutesy moments with cute guys so we’ll always have those memories 🙏🏼 i think im done clogging ur inbox now BAHAHAH im sorry 🙇🏻‍♀️

hahaha ure so right at least we had cute moments w cute guys !!!!

tbh yeah i totally get what u mean abt wanting to know him better and him leaving u on delivered leaves more questions compared to if he left u on read .. i’m sorry abt italian guy : (

and Man my friend said lulu guys name might be Ron and i instantly . i instantly collapsed. if his name is RON???? i’ll cry . but he looks like a josh or a jake .. i mean the other guy who looks like hims name is eddie so.😁 and my friends mom just flew to hk so my friend told her to see if the guy is there and to ask for his name … Man 😭😭😭😭😭

and omg no don’t apologise feel free to come talk about anything my inbox whenever u want !!

𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐨

requested!

summary: dating them includes hc with steve o

warnings: mentions of sexual activity, established relationship, cursing, probably talk of substance abuse/use, usual jackass idiocy.

pairing: steve-o x gn!reader

a/n: i plan on doing one of these for all of the guys assuming the obsession doesn’t wear off so look out for those (prob doing ryan then johnny next bc slay)

^^ meaning if you requested im not gonna clog up my page by responding bc i’ve gotten a couple, just know they’re going to be done!

you two met through knoxville, who was a casual friend of yours since he had a habit of crashing parties your friends threw, and he would bring steve along sometimes.

your first date wasn’t really a date, you two decided to spend 24 hours together and do as much as you could within that time frame. you went through a shit ton of weed and ended up at the beach, an art museum, guitar center, johnny’s house, a total of three in-n-outs, and of course his bed (where you didn’t have sex, but you made out for an absurd amount of time).

this ^ ends up being what most of your relationship is; you’re either cooped up in one of your apartments watching movies and not answering your phones, or you’re out in LA making bad decisions that always lead back to a bed or the backseat of someone’s car.

while sex between you two definitely happens often, and sometimes in strange places, it’s almost always v soft and loving. he just enjoys taking his time with you, savoring every moment you two have together like it’s the last. your comfort is always his number one priority, followed in a close second by your pleasure.

head almost every morning, who’s giving and who’s receiving just depends on the day.

also, nightly make outs. this could be post-coital, or just a way you relax with your lover before sleep.

touchy always, to him, your personal space becomes our personal space. even if it’s just a hand on your lower back or an index finger hooked onto your belt loop, he’s always somehow grounding you next to him. less in a possessive way, though that is part of it, and more of a pls don’t leave me way.

having to deal with drunk/high steve more frequently than is ideal, but at the end of a long night when the guys finally drop off the absolute tornado that is an intoxicated steve-o, someone has to look out for him. thankfully, once he’s in your arms he does a full 180 and turns into a whiny little bitch (said with love) until you finally coax him into bed and eventually sleep.

he’s definitely needy, and i don’t mean that as a bad thing, he just loves being the center of attention, especially yours.

of course, he would never tell you this (not like you don’t know), he just sulks when you’ve been preoccupied until he can’t handle it anymore and then basically forces you to pay attention to him, but you don’t complain.

he’s obsessed with you (not in like a joe goldberg, the riddler way obvi). it’s always my s/o this and my s/o that, and it would be a lot more annoying if his friends didn’t love you so much.

he seems like the type to always be reminding you of how much he cares about you and how much he loves you. whether this be through little notes left on your bathroom mirror, small gifts or acts of service, or just by straight up telling you, he puts in the work to make sure you know without a doubt that he absolutely adores you

making him listen to sad guitar man music with you (idk i’m a whore for some good ole elliott smith and he seems like he would enjoy it in the right circumstances)

throuple dates with chris!! since most of your makeshift dates are more just you guys doing exactly what you would do at home except elsewhere, it’s easy for him to tag along and it not be weird. occasionally, they do turn into double dates when he decides to bring a girl along. in which case, you better believe that you two will be best friends by the end of the date.

it is rare that you two aren’t stoned after the hour of 4pm, and usually earlier. by 7, trying to have a normal conversation with either of you is a lost cause.

having the time of your lives when he convinces you to go out with him and the crew. there’s a reason the hardest partier in the group is the one you’re dating; let’s just say you can hold your liquor.

idk why but the thought came to me the other day of attending a music festival w him and it will not leave, with that being said, he def would be so fun at a music festival. i don’t think he would mosh if it was that kind of festival but he seems like the type to camp out over night to try and get a good spot and put you on his shoulders so you can see better when it doesn’t work as well as he intended.

in general, he’s simply the sweetest ever.

[thepoodlepack]

What's wrong with goldenpoodles? I'm genuinely curious because almost all of my dogs are mixed breeds and behave fine. So I'm curious if there's something else I'm missing

jeez this feels like bait but u kno what, you got me

alright, so it goes like this. the doodle really began with a guy in australia being like i need the temperament of a lab for a guide dog but these ppl are allergic to dogs, so i need a poodle bc they have hair, not fur. so he bred em together. years later he’s like damn that was a mistake.

now, why, exactly? alright so first of all he only needed that mix bc labs on average tend to adapt better to situations that are largely exclusive to service dog work than poodles do. i can go into what this means at a later date, but that’s basically how it is. but either way, people jumped on this creation and it kinda spiraled out of control. soon, poodles were being bred by everyone and every breed. suddenly, they were a marketing scam more then they were a dog breed.

oh theyre hypoallergenic! all of them, all the time cause zero allergies! look theyre so much better than poodles! theyre friendly and easy to train, not like poodles of course, just like labs! they’re better than labs bc none of them shed, ever! they’re super healthy bc breeding labs and poodles together wipes out all their health problems, of course!

lies, lies lies. the aussie guy, whose name i’m not going to look up bc i’m lazy but who you can find if you google creator of doodles, straight up says that even the first litter(s) of labradoodles he bred had puppies that the people he bred them for were allergic to. he very carefully tested the litter and the reaction the person had before placing a puppy that was not going to hurt them.

think of the punnet squares we all learned about in 5th grade science class. you draw the squares and one parent has two fur genes and the other parent has two hair genes and what do you get? well if you have four puppies, one might have hairhair and the next one might have hairfur and the next one might have furhair and the next one might have furfur. and so guess what? only hairhair pup is going to be the best choice for allergic people. additionally, you can see why the non-shedding thing can be bullshit, and that in particular is also a guessing game. you may be able to test allergy sufferers against the pups, but that does not necessarily mean they won’t shed. hairfur, for example, may be a good choice for some allergic people, but perhaps they’ve got just enough fur to shed anyway. also, lets look at salukis (and frankly, most long-haired sighthounds). salukis are still considered dogs with fur, not hair. they also still shed, even though it’s just a little. and yet they’re still considered good for allergy sufferers.

(ps poodles do actually shed. but they shed like humans shed. your hair comes out, doesn’t it? like, esp folks with long hair, aren’t people always complaining how you clog the shower drain? yeah, like that. ALSO obviously the situation is more complicated then super simple punnet squares and as an ex-groomer i have something to say about doodle coats but i’m going to save that for later, put a pin in it.)

oh and wait a hot minute there. i said best choice, didn’t i, not hypoallergenic. well, that’s because no dog is hypoallergenic. poodles, and a few other dog breeds, they have hair, like we do. but the thing is both humans and breeds with hair still produce the dander, though they’re different kinds. breeds with hair happen to produce the least amount possible that dogs can produce, which is why they’re a better choice for allergy sufferers, but that’s still not a guarantee. my roommate Dakota is allergic to dogs. if i don’t wash my dogs for an extended period of time (which has never happened, ever, in my life, idk what ur talking about), thus giving the chance for the dander my dogs still produce, he will have a very, very mild reaction when touching them. it can be countered by him washing his hands after touching them and also me just giving them a fucking bath, i need to stop forgetting, but still, there you go. ALSO people might not be allergic to dogs bc of their dander. they might be allergic to the saliva of dogs, which poodles or any other breed with hair still produces about the same as other dogs. so, yeah, not hypoallergenic, not at all.

the people who taut their hypoallergenic dogs for sale largely don’t do the testing required to check if they’re actually providing a dog to someone who won’t react to it. not acceptable at all.

so, labs are friendly and easy to train right? not at all like poodles, right? no. absolutely incorrect. some labs are friendly and easy to train. some labs, a lot of them when they’re puppies, are nightmare fuel. personally, i have a theory that everyone’s vision of labs in their heads are either a) service dogs or b) those old labs who are slightly pudgy (or morbidly obsess, which is a different topic) and who are graying in the face and just want to lounge around because they’re seniors now. alright, so here’s why thats bad. labs are a working breed. a retrieving breed. they’re supposed to be bulky and strong and driven. service dogs are highly trained, to a point that most pet dogs will never see, and if you see them with their actual disabled handler, they’ll probably be around 2.5 yrs of age and out of their most wild days. old labs are well. old. sleepy. maybe a bit achey. and well out of their most wild days. oh, and it’s the same type of thing with goldens by the way, the other most popular doodle type. poodles are also easy to train, especially if their parents have a decent temperament. they’re all about equal if you actually start training them when they’re puppies and just pay for some training classes, like everyone should. in the puppy classes i’m in right now, Euphoria is leaps and bounds ahead of doodles, goldens, and labs that are her age or older. I train her properly and she’s got amazing parents. that’s it, that’s the trick. not breed, not necessarily, and def not in this case.

I am once again going to say that labs and goldens are more often used as service dogs than poodles because of their adaptability, but it’s the ability to adapt to situations that most pet dogs will never have to worry about.

jeez this is a long post. i’ve still got more to cover too. alright, on to super healthy, or “hybrid vigor” as the nerds call it. uhh, it’s bullshit. thank u for ur time.

okay, but actually why on gods green earth would breeding two completely different breeds with little to no research make them super healthy? now i want to preface this with i’m (generally) pro-outcross projects. Euphoria’s dad is half mini poodle and half standard poodle, which isn’t technically an outcross bc all the variations are of the same breed, but if we’re going by genetic diversity alone minis and standards are different enough to actually be different breeds.

so, to be clear, outcrosses, given the proper thought and planning: good, results in healthier dogs (see: lua dals). randomly breeding two very different breeds together with no planning other than to sell the puppies to randos who won’t continue the outcross: bad. especially when you’re doing it to cash in and don’t health test at all, or don’t health test the major health problems with both breeds (if you’re doing an f2 breeding or anything like that). no the poodle’s health problems don’t get canceled out by the goldens or labs or whatever the other party’s health problems are, and vice versa. and yeah, i’ve looked at a lot of doodle breeder’s websites and yeah, most of them don’t health test at all, or at least don’t health test properly. do you know i own one doodle and currently live with another? yeah, i got them both from breeders and do you know how much health testing their parents got? if your answer is none, good job, you’ve been paying attention. in my defense, i was like 13, i didn’t know what i was doing.

alright, so those are the big points. this is kinda gonna be just... a mix of my other complaints. here we go, hope you’re ready for more. argument the first: i feel like it’s pretty disrespectful to reputable breeders. now, i actually have two reasons why that is. reason one: most reputable poodle breeders don’t want their breeding stock bred with other breeds, for various reasons. i’ve even met a few who used to be okay with it and then as the doodle scam got bigger and more out of control, they stopped being okay with it, even to the breeders who they had been fine with it in the past. that means a lot of doodle breeders out there have their breeding stock because they scammed poodle breeders into giving them pet quality, not breeding quality, dogs or because they’re getting their stock from non-reputable breeders. i also feel it’s disrespectful to breeders who are actually trying to create new breeds. quite frankly, a breed with the size, strength, and adaptability of a lab or golden that doesn’t shed and that has the train-ability of a poodle, lab, or golden sounds pretty interesting to me. did you know you can actually make that breed? and it wouldn’t be a cross with unpredictable... well, everything. it would actually be a true dog breed.

Look at Silken Windhounds and Biewer Terriers who began both development in the 1980s. Biewer Terriers were recognized by the AKC this year, and Silken Windhounds still haven’t been. And yeah, that’s the problem isn’t it? Making a real new breed takes a lot of time, planning, and care. People would rather just cash in. I think it’s sad and I think it’s disrespectful to the breeders who do work so hard to make actual new breeds.

and finally, unpin being an ex-groomer goddamnit. guess what? doodles are awful to groom! they’re terrible on the grooming tables because people want to have in both ways: they want a dog that doesnt shed at all and they want a dog who doesn’t need to be groomed. well guess what, that dog doesn’t exist and you can have it only one way. and also, bring back the goddamn punnet squares because a lot of doodles have awful coats. if you have hairfur and furhair over there, guess what, their coat fucking sucks bc it’s not meant to be like that. it wants to mat bc hair but also it wants the mats to slide out bc short-ish fur but its too thick for the mats to slide out bc thick hair. and yes its more complicated then this and that means its often more awful then this. its awful, it makes me want to cry. and maybe it’s slightly easier to get away with it with a shorthaired dog like a lab, or, you know what, even a golden, okay, even a slightly long haired dog like a golden but people are doodling akitas? border collies? bernese fucking mountain dogs? i am crying. i am crying right now as i type this.

lets do a sum up to this disaster of a post. look, i don’t go out there attacking or yelling at every doodle or every doodle owner i see, alright? or any of them really. i might engage in conversation to one that’s interested, but that’s it. i love my doodly Isis, okay? shes tiny and she’s adorable and I love her more than life and i will never, ever get another doodle. i don’t like the way they’ve gotten so prolific, i don’t like the reasons they’re now widespread, and i don’t like almost all of the people that create them, including the ones i’ve literally given my (parents) money to in the past. i wish they were better but i just cannot approve of them, especially not in the environment they exist in now. that said, i do support them in their original use case as assistance dogs, and i do not care about them if they’re shelter dogs.

AAAAAAA OKAY ITS BC ANON and I actually debated saying fuck being on anon and just DMing you about the boba fett fic (clearly I chickened out but tbh I might still do it later bc I have a lot to say) Cuz I love it and want to talk about it but I also don’t want to clog up your Loki blog with Star Wars stuff and tbh the only reason I’m still on anon is bc my url is stupid bc my blog is like 80% shitposts and not really related to Loki or anything (and also for the sake of context and continuity) BUT DUDE YOUR BOBA FIC LOOKS SOOOOOO GOOD IM OBSESSED WITH THE PREMISE especially those first lines about respect and how the reader disrespected him??? But then she realizes her mistake?? Oh my god I’m so excited to hear what boba says to her when he finds out she helped his bounty escape ESPECIALLY excited to see what happens when they team up that’s gonna be so fuckin good oh man I have chills (and it’s like 80 fuckin degrees in my room rn so U know the fic was good) I want to read it sooo bad also I love how you’re gonna age him down when in the SW universe does it take place if you have a timeline for it???? Anyway I feel like I have to change into my boba fett shirt now bc I may not have liked the show but I already love your fic and tbh now I want to watch something with boba WAIT ACTUALLY IM JUST GONNA REREAD MIGRANE IM GONNA RUN TO AO3 AS SOON AS I SEND THIS ASK AAAAAAA

OKAY BC ANON LISTEN first you should do whatever makes you the most comfortable but if it helps my main is also just shitposts + me thristing over pedro pascal in the tags of various gifsets. My url references Loki but I rarely reblog anything related to him and when I do I always say in the tags "fine I guess I still like this guy" LMAO. It's shitpost central and I haven't posted original content on it for 5 years so like. Yeah.

BUT honestly we've been talking long enough that I trust you and I'd totally be willing to let you into the outline + very messy document of the parts of the fic I already have written :D I understand if you don't want to because of spoilers but honestly it's not a story that has spoilers? Like there's not plot twists there's no gotcha moments it's just a fic. Me giving you access would also require your email (and therefore probably a DM) and I SUPER understand if you aren't comfortable with that but the offer stands, just let me know ❤️

But let me give you another lil tidbit: The reader and Boba Fett fight (again she's helping a bounty escape BF not knowing who the bounty or even really who BF is) and he's winning but her hood falls off and it makes Boba stall and lose the fight because he's shooketh by her beauty 😈 As for when it takes place, it's a year or so after Boba teams up with Din in the Mandalorian. So I guess it takes place when tbobf does? Even though yeah I did age Boba down, though his age is fairly debated from what I can tell and a lot of people think he's in his forties in tbobf. I don't know if I think that because I def view him as older and more experienced than Din but idk.

Anyway! YES PUT ON YOUR BF SHIRT AND I'LL PUT ON MINE we can be twins hehe

Tw fatphobia

i'm sending my question lol hi! i'm nervous sending this lol IDK why

so i'm chubby, i haven't always been chubby but i am now, and i like being chubby, i'm really happy with where i am now with my body, but i grew up surrounded by asian family and friends living in an east asian country, i'm not going to delve deep into the details, but it was kind of just ingrained in my mind when i was young that fat = bad as everyone in society there is fatphobic (and it's not overlooked, bc it's just for lack of a better word, normal) especially the boys and it's just a greatly esteemed standard of country-wide beauty. so that, including the laws set in place to prevent people from becoming plus size and young adults calling the body positivity movement "embarrassing", it was just ingrained in my brain without choice, but that changed when i left and moved countries, i let myself gain weight for myself because i liked it! and i'm literally obsessed with myself now lol

anyways, when i visit asia, i guess my old thoughts come back kind of, so my question/biggest obstacle as a big person is that i still have trouble being able to belive i can be fat while still being healthy, both my parents and uncle is both doctors, and i just want to communicate that people CAN be fat and healthy, i just don't know how, i'm chubby and perfectly healthy, but i know there are people bigger than me and i just don't know how to let not only them, but other friends know that it can be possible

sorry if this was a odd question, you're the only person i feel kind of safe asking. have a great day cal ❤ (also can i become an emoji anon?)

hi!! thanks for sending it <3, i'm really happy that you felt safe enough to ask me, that makes me really glad. I'm gonna put my answer below a cut to avoid clogging the dash!

edit: AHH yes of course you can become an emoji anon!! pick one, dearest <3

so, i'd like to start out by saying that i'm sorry that you had to deal with that type of environment surrounding body types. that's really hard. i'd also like to say that im really proud of you and happy for you that you're happy with yourself. that is so so important and you deserve that happiness.

now, internalized fatphobia is a really hard thing to deal with because it's something that you have to do mostly on your own, and that can be really hard when you're dealing with social influences that tell you otherwise. it's just about remembering that no matter what your weight / body looks like, you are deserving of love.

but i also want to say that you do not have to be healthy in order to be happy with yourself as a fat person. health is not the pinnacle of value, nor does it have any effect on that. the idea that "fat = unhealthy" is actually a campaign that was created by diet companies in the 1960s in order to push their products. there are actually a lot of studies that talk about this push and the idea of "low-fat diets".

this isn't to say that there aren't complications, but as far as weight goes, it's important to me that you (and everyone) know that you have value regardless of health and regardless of what your body looks like. since that campaign by diet companies (and especially with the rise of the body positivity movement), "health" has become a leading argument to excuse fatphobia. it pushes the narrative that health = value, which is not true at all.

health is important, but this idea that someone's health determines the level of respect they get as a fat person is really harmful, especially within the disabled community because there are people for whom "health" by societal standards is unattainable. it pushes the narrative that it's what we should be striving for, when the reality is that we should be open, loving, and accepting of everyone, regardless of weight, body, or health circumstances.

it's actually incredibly harmful to excuse fatphobia / weight under the premise of health for this exact reason. it excludes so many people from a movement meant for everyone and sets a standard for "acceptable fatness" in society which is bullshit in it's entirety.

now, i'm not sure how to answer your question to the fullest, but i can tell you that your value is not reliant on your health or your weight. it is an intrinsic part of you and no matter what you look like or experience, that will never go away. focus on loving yourself regardless of that fact. focus on healing and on repairing that mental trauma you suffered from where you grew up, but don't base your worth on health, base your worth on you. It's a part of you, regardless of anything, you have value to yourself and the people around you that cannot be taken away.

Astralignment

and the Korribani Calendar System

Before the arrival of the Exiles the native Sith on Korriban had their own system of keeping track of time. Over the years, this became standardized and refined and is still in use by a large portion of the modern Pureblood community. Since the ancient Sith were observant beings of their world, many of the names and symbols reflected their natural environment. All of these aspects go into what is known as a Sith’s astralignment (astro-alignment).

Since the Empire runs on Imperial Standard Time (IST), anything relating to Korriban or any other Imperial world is referred by the local time of that planet.

Compare a year on  Dromund Kaas to Korriban:

Dromund Kaas (everything in standard)

24 hours/day

312 days/year

7,488 hours/year

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

5 days = 1 week

7 weeks = 1 month

35 days = 1 month

8 months (+4 weeks and 4 holidays) = 1 year

312 (standard)days = 1 year

Korriban

28 (standard) hours/day

780 (local) days/year

21,840 (standard) hours/year

70 (standard and local) minutes = 1 hour

24 (local) hours = 1 day

10 (local) days = 1 week

6.5 (local) weeks = 1 month

65 (local) days = 1 month

12 (local) months = 1 year

780 (local) days = 1 year

This roughly makes 1 Korribani year approximately 2.9 [Dromund] Kaasi years.

Calendars

The days on Korriban are annotated on some versions of the Imperial calendar alongside the standard days.

In this example, names of the days on the calendar reflect the IST. The black numbers indicate the date in IST, the red numbers represent the date of the Korribani calendar. Placement of the Korribani date indicate when that day begins in relation to the Kaasi one.

A. 00:00 is the same for both. B. 00:00 K starts at 04:00 DK. C. 00:00 K starts at 08:00 DK. D. 00:00 K starts at 12:00 DK. E. 00:00 K starts at 16:00 DK. F. 00:00 K starts at 20:00 DK. G. Loops back around and 00:00 K lines up 00:00 DK .

While seemingly complicated to some, most Sith have grown with this system of overlapping calendars and can easily tell the date by the positioning of the numbers in this format. 

There are of course, electronic versions where the date is shown simply:

Since the Korribani month is longer than the Kaasi one, the dates will continue through the Kaasi months. These next two pictures show how long 1 Korribani month is in relation to a Kaasi one.

There is also a version of the Korribani calendar that does not overlap with IST. These are used locally on the planet.

The days of the Korribani week were named after major gods from the most widespread pantheon on the planet:

Ahmuriq, from Ahmurn: the creator god.

Marseriq, from Marserha: mother goddess of the Sith.

Bashariq, from Bashara: goddess of passion.

Teraiq, from Teral: god of protection and justice.

Iskarliq, from Iskarln: god(dess) of conflict and war.

Marduriq, from Mardur: patron god of the Massassi and strength.

Rusaniq, from Rusanel: goddess of knowledge.

Zefiriq, from Zefir: goddess of the hunt.

Shumariq, from Shumari: god of the harvest.

Goruiq, from Gorul: the trickster god(dess).

Months

There are numerous constellations in the Korribani sky. Twelves of these mark the months of the year as well as going into the astalignment. The 12 major, monthly constellations all depict local fauna from ancient fables and have certain characteristics that are commonly associated with them.

1. Yuninchâtsutuyok, the jiminat and agzonûboj engaged in eternal conflict. Dedicated, ambitious, and insightful.

2. Qyalatuyok, the qyalak. Calm, sentimental, and inquisitive.

3. Badzuriqatuyok, the badzuriqash. Tenacious, practical, and direct.

4. Kaarjontuyok, the kaarjontû. Spontaneous, contemplative, and observant.

5. Tukatatuyok, the tukata. Loyal, respectful, and staunch.

6. Hatyatuyok, the hatya. Articulate, perceptive, and adaptable.

7. Lomaituyok, the lomait. Disciplined, fearless, and competitive.

8. Dzushatuyok, the dzushaj. Private, calculating, and flexible.

9. Mowhetuyok, the mowhef. Stern, traditional, and ruthless.

10. Dyaltituyok, the dyaltir. Mischievous, studious, and charismatic.

11. Jhan’dikanatuyok, the lost dikana. Creative, sociable, and resourceful.

12. Niqoituyok, the niqoit. Erudite, cunning, and free-spirited.

Years

The years are also represented by local animals. No one, not even Sith scholars or historians, are sure of the origin of how these animals came to represent the years on Korriban’s calendar. It is one of the many parts of Sith culture that have been lost since it is believed this particular record has been passed down through oral tellings.

The years are kept track of in a 6-year cycle with each year emphasizing a likely success for the ones born in that year.

Chiroik - Wealth

Wokinai - Knowledge

Natûsh - Fame

Dzenal - Influence

Litskoj - Power

Sulemish - Longevity

(ie. Those born in the year of the Sulemish will have a long life.) This again factors into a Sith’s astralignment.

In addition to the years, these 6 animals are also used for the hours on Korriban. But time is not conveyed in the same manner as Basic. While in Basic one would simply say “14:25” (or two twenty-five in the afternoon) the Sith have a much more involved way to convey time.

For example: Shyracks screech and return to their caves as the priestess prepares the altar in the hour of the wokinai.

Translates to: 07:15 local time (or seven fifteen in the morning).

As a side note, a few centuries ago Darth Feras domesticated and bred wrats within the Empire. At first they weren’t seen with much interest by her peers. But popular rumor has it that she pointed out her creations embody the physical traits of the yearly beasts.

Eyes - Chiroik

Ears - Wokinai

Body - Natûsh

Hands - Dzenal

Feet - Litskoj

Tail - Sulemish

Afterwards they quickly became a favored pet and companion among the Sith, being seen as an auspicious animal.

While not related to their calendar there is a tradition of being assigned a birth flower. For this, the Sith do not look to their skies but rather, when a child is born the placenta is buried in a pot with 12 seeds. The first of these seeds to sprout becomes that Sith’s birth flower. These 12 flowers are also used in medicine, therapeutic or preventive, for some common ailments.

Serla for headaches.

Roshal for good eyesight.

Nashkir for sore throats.

Atsudqâ for heart health.

Hyaranjat for good digestion.

Mûyoin for muscle pain.

Shasâyar for fertility.

Jûzon for blood circulation.

Ashanin for bone mending.

Qoyo for fevers.

Chisiqsanu for irritated ridge skin.

Kûsk’inti for fatigue and replenishing energy.

The last two parts that go into a Sith’s astalignment are their energies. The weekly energies correspond with 4 classic “elements” of earth, fire, air, and water. While the daily energy simply refers to day or night (d/n) in regards to when the person was born.

Combined with all aspects mentioned in this document, year, month, weekly energy, day (+energy), and flower, one can study a Sith’s astalignment.  ex. Darth Vowrawn’s astalignment factors:

The study of these astralignments is a complicated field on to its own while the findings can be very important to some among the Sith. There are specialized scholars who offer their services to the old families so that the “perfect matches” (marriage, business, or otherwise) can be set up.

aaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S DONE. i feel like frodo at mt. doom after the ring is destroyed omg... ;-;

SOOOO. i wanted, and i mean REALLY wanted, to finish this for lunar new year (for pretty obvious reasons lol)...... :,) welp. then i was like “i can do may 4″ lol NOPE. but here we are! still technically sith day? whatever. imma say I Did It. :D

also pls don’t laugh at my stupid drawings. i already know i can’t art. ok??? >,<

special thanks to @snootysith​ for giving me a bunch of sithy names and words for me to use. c: like y’all... coming up with fake words, that look and sound ok is really HARD (for my dumbass anyway)

other worldbuilding posts that are... sorta mentioned/used in this:

@inquisitorhotpants​‘s dk calendar

BOOS! x3

and some other stuff ....

but uh, yea. if you’re wondering “hang on there fluffy... did you really make a big, dumbass zodiac/astrology post??” the answer is...

yes.

yes i did... xU

but also i imagine the ancient sith had a lot of special and important dates for you know... religious things? *shrug* and over the many, many years all of this was passed down and prob altered in some way to fit into modern sith society? idk...

now imma say some things here bc i know For A Fact!!! that ppl don’t go onto original posts to read op tags on this hellsite lol.

and this isn’t me trying to sound like an arrogant asshole... but these are for some common questions that’ll undoubtedly come up:

yes, you can use this in any extent or manner.

no, you obvs don’t have to. ignore it if you want. i’ll be ok lol.

no, i’m not gonna write a long ass book with all the little details on every aspect of all the traits and then assign these things for your character(s). just make something up. that’s what i did here xD (plus my brain is d e a d from this)

yes, this is seen as a mostly(!) tomato pureblood sith thing but obvs attitudes are different between individuals. some are super into it, some could careless and think it’s all fake news, some have parents that care too much about it which is annoying and interfering with their life so they lowkey hate it lol.

no, i couldn’t do a read more bc it wouldn’t look as nice and i worked hard ok? ;-; i apologize for clogged dashes in advance.

i think that’s it? ofc feel free to hmu if you’re ok with a reply that can take anywhere from a few min to 3 business days ^-^;

[vive-la-revolution]

Hey Lee bestie! Hope you're doing well! I'm giving my mutuals who have read the Helpless Trilogy a "few" Q&A type questions to see what their responses coming from a reader's perspective and not just an author's. And also because I'm curious-

If you could be any character from any of the three books based off of your personality, who would it be?

What scene from either three books made you laugh the most, cry the most, angry the most, etc.?

Who was your favorite character?

Who was your LEAST favorite character

Which character did you relate too the most?

What was your favorite scene in Alex's POV in Yrs Forever and least? If you have one of course.

Favorite scene in John's POV in Yrs Forever and least?

When John broke up with Alex, what would you do for him?

Favorite Schuyler Sister?

Favorite member of The Boys?

If you had caught John cheating on Alex during that party at Steuben's, what you have done?

Favorite King's High teacher?

Favorite Chandler Bing act Meade would do? Or has done?

Favorite quote?

Favorite scene with Hamilton and Andre? And least?

Least favorite book out of the three?

If you could, who would you pick to cast as the characters? It can be us mutuals, or actual actresses/actors or whatnot!

Favorite brotherly moment between Lafayette and Alexander?

You don't have to answer all or any of these if you don't want too of course!

okay woah ima put this under a cut so i don’t clog the dash

also this will be very unhelpful there’s been too much going on since i finished reading the series so i don’t remember all of it :/

i’d say the character i’m most similar to is alex, because we’re both ambitious (with terrible mechanisms) and overprotective of the people we care about despite attaching to others too easily

i can’t remember all the scenes but the ones that made me happiest were just the little moments between alex & john, nothing too important, just them enjoying each other. the one that made me angriest was when a) kinloch and john had a little thing or b) andre being a dick

lafayette because i wish i had someone like him

andré, no doubt, he reminds me of my father lmao

like i said in the first one, probably alex

aaaAH i don’t remember all the details fml, it’s been too long

(see above)

for alex? idk, i mean john had his reasons, things were rocky and even though it was a little rash, maybe they did need a break from each other. i guess i’d say that he should give john his space, let him cool down, and not run immediately back to andré because that would only make things worse

angelica just bc i love her

meade & tilghman because they are Iconic with a capital i

*evil noises*

the only one i remember is gwash 🙃

i’ve never seen friends lol

i don’t knoW

favorite is probably when they first met, because obviously things were gonna be shitty, but it was cool to see how it would play out. (or the one at the prison trying to rescue john). least favorite was probably whenever andré tried to manipulate alex (again, because he reminds me of my father)

i couldn’t pick

i don’t know any actors lmfao (random people off google? absolutely. but names? i have no idea who anyone is i don’t give a fuck about famous people)

all of them.

sorry that was a lot of “i don’t know”s and “i don’t remember”s :/

[mayz1er]

hi i have a headache and a new wip

tbh i just use read more so my long talking doesn’t clog up peoples feeds. however i do have a headache and i shud probably eat something but. i’m too tired and not that hungry so it’s okay.

anyways new wip. i think i’ll have it shorter than brpt. on second thought it will definitely be a lot shorter than brpt because i think i will collapse if i write an 150k word fic again. i kinda want to have it maybe like 30-60k? and like. 6 chapters. because i personally really like thick condensed chapters. did i word that right, i don’t know, my head hurts.

i refuse to have an updating schedule for it. maybe that will change in the future but no no no no. please just. imagine being me. please imagine writing 10k words in 5 days. yes it is a feat. yes it was enjoyable. no it was not good for my overall health. ok i’m incredibly exaggerating i’m just really bad at managing my time and i have a horrible sleep schedule. or actually i used to but i’ve been sleeping earlier bc i remember how much i fuckin love sleeping. anyways. oh my god i genuinely accidentally trained myself to wake up at 6 am naturally and writing nonstop until 8 am. like i just did that. and i finished like 3 chapters doin that and i had to write on mobile during the whole thing. that was an Experience. god i love condensed fics. i see a 50k word fic with 3 chapters and i go wild.

i think religion will be a major theme. like i guess it was in brpt but im thinking bigger. i feel nervous adding like, big real references to catholicism/christianity because i would be writing based off my experiences but i don’t want to offend people?? i don’t think it would offend people but what if it does?? i don’t know. this might never be published at all. i have a headache. i forgot to say it’s gonna be an immortal au.

it’ll probably have more human tones. like. about humans and people. fuck the word is humanity it’s gonna have a lot of themes about humanity. because i think human beings are interesting and i like to lock them in a bird cage and watch them under a microscope and write what i see. yeah. okay. i have a headache. humans are so interesting. everything about them. us. and then what draws the line of human and inhumane? very cool thoughts. i love thinkin about humans, i sound like a fuckin alien. okay. okay.

i’d also like to explore two distinctly different like povs? two people with distinctly different mindsets. HEY I JUST REMEMBERED THE ACTUAL PLOT I PLANNED LMAOO IDK WHAT I’VE BEEN WRITING FOR THE PAST 7 MINUTES

picture this. immortal who has lived and met so many people that eventually they’ve lost track of everything. they are immortal, they haven’t died, so people see them as a god. picture this. person who has been taught to praise and pray and whatever religion thing whats it called? would it just be believing? yeah, person who has been raised to believe in this immortal but has also been traumatized by the religion, and then immortal and traumatized church boy meet. ha what a funny sentence might use that in a summary. fuck head hurts. okay. that’s my idea for now.

it’s gonna be c!tubbo centric again bc i love him and i accidentally managed to not say any names so guess if tubbo’s the god or the traumatized church boy. idk. fuck he was already a church boy in brpt. fuck fuck fuck. shit. okay. okay i’m done now.

[rainbow-sides]

Okay so here are some of my actual thoughts abt the episode:

janus is a bitch and I love him so much

patton breaking down (in frog form, which ?????) seemed p cathartic and i hope he and roman are gonna chill off camera and chat for a while. maybe play some stardew valley or animal crossing. have some calm time.

leslie????? odom????? jr????? (why was he just AT thomas’s house?????)

i’m just generally grateful for logan’s entire existence, and i’m glad that even if he has some insecurities and doubts and stuff which i’m sure will be addressed at some later date, he seems to be doing okay. he’s good at talking thomas out of those insecurities, he can probably do it for himself most of the time too (also he is a part of thomas and not a separate person--all those reassurances are for him, too)

(much more under the cut, don’t wanna clog ur dash)

i think virgil is working through some stuff on his own rn. he’s trying to figure out what his role in the group is, how it’s going to change based on his “dark side reveal” (which, idk if it’s going to end up being as big of a deal as he probably thinks it is, bc i think a big thing they’re gonna work through soon is that “dark side” is an arbitrary term Roman came up with for any side thomas doesn’t want to acknowledge/listen to). he’s probably off listening to emo music and drinking gatorade out of a wineglass fully clothed in the bathtub.

back to janus. a) excellent name, i think i saw someone guess at it like a year or so ago which is epic b) BOI

seriously i cannot express how much i appreciate what they’re doing with deceit. i think he provides a necessary balancing force against the other sides in advocating for thomas’s own well-being, and i’m looking forward to seeing him and patton working together. janus and logan working together will also be fun.

that being said, imagining roman&virgil vs janus&logan with patton caught in the middle is. mm. painful. good shit right there.

g-d this whole episode tho...it was so fuckin catholic dksjhdkjhfk

to be more specific: so much of patton’s reasoning just makes No Sense to me as someone without that catholic upbringing and mindset (this isn’t a criticism of the writing, just something i find interesting as a Jewish person), because i think a lot of christianity revolves around Purity of Thoughts and Intentions as opposed to actions and their impact. there’s also the whole catholic guilt thing, but i’m gonna let someone with more knowledge of catholicism do a detailed analysis of that one (stayin’ in my own jewish lane here). i think it’s cool that they’re sticking with that theme of patton’s thought patterns which were so evident in the intrusive thoughts video

again, i think so much of this series is about finding balances in your life. that’s like, the whole point, right? character!thomas is the representation of a collection of different sides which are all basically like...wants. like, fundamentally, the show is about a dude who has a lot of driving forces inside himself and he’s struggling to find the balance between them. he becomes more unhappy when they aren’t working for a common goal because he’s being pulled in different directions by parts of himself. and obviously a lot of it is hyperbolic and metaphoric, and i think it’s important to remember that, because despite the Sides all being distinct characters, they are not distinct people, and cannot be judged as if they were.

character!thomas is trying to grow and accept himself and be happy and healthy and i’m really proud of him :`) <3

[berrymeter]

idk anything about the grace period for deltarune u can just keep this ask in the attic until that’s over.. anyway.. i really liked chap 2 i played it in one sitting 😭 the rpg combat is enjoyable enough and just the right amount more complex than the undertale combat is, although not very difficult. very touching power of friendship moments minus that fucking bird man. some of the dialogue felt quite fandom tropey and surface-level, and queen’s lines (love her tho) were hit or miss for me. i think the biggest frustration i have with it is all the useless random encounter characters clogging up your world 😞😞 there’s only so many wacky one-liners toby can give them and i am not invested enough to care! also some of those designs are uglie!! there are better ways to make a world feel real and lived in. same thing happened with undertale.

BUT it was a great time! i liked the juxtaposition between the ultimately harmless antics and charming banter with the gang and queen, and the more sinister plot going on in the background. most obviously in the ending. toriel and susie making a pie while kris RIPS OUT THEIR SOUL….spoiler warning.. did u see the theory that the soul aka red heart is you the player operating kris the vessel? i’m definitely not a theorist but i like seeing all the loose plot ends i’m having a good time. i love noelleeeeee 💞💞💞💞and i liked susie a lot more this chapter. when ralsei taught her a healing spell 😖😖 i still don’t really care about ralsei though 😓

special shoutout to the spinning teacups ☕️☕️☕️ and special NOT-shoutout to the mice games with the rotating blocks i never understood how to do that.

it was a very feel-good game. it made me feel good. standards for video game passed. what did u think tho!! i mean i assume u liked it but for the same reasons? different ones? feel free to respond with an excruciatingly long essay of ur own <3 we are back to the tt anon blocks of text i restrained myself for a bit but we are back -tt

hiii tt anon <3 back at it again with the asks that i am looking forward to answering. if i post this a little before the 48 hours i will be forgiven bc i will use the deltarune spoilers tag and also the long post tag LMAOO anyway anyway oh btw never refrain urself from sending blocks of text if my followers are mad even though i tag them long post that's ON THEM. everything u say is worth listening to & same for everything i say so that's my final stance on this 😌

i also played it in one sitting it was so GOOD. i don't care that it was 2 am here when it was released i wasss ecstatic and the game was so fucking GOOD tonby the fox delivered!! it was so so worth the wait! the music was so much better than in chapter 1 imo, like... my castle town? the cyber fields theme? the queen's fight? spamton g spamton??? rouxls' "fight"?? BANGERS. i only see bangers. the new gameplay mechanics were also very fun!! i for one kinda struggled with the mice puzzles but not nearly as much as that one section with the traffic jams where you have to go down and back up or whatever. what the hell was that? i'm surprised i actually got past it. i loved the parts in cyber field though where you had to move on beat with the music that was sooo fun!! more of that! i prefer the fighting system in undertale ngl but it's mostly bc the undertale bosses are... just so good. the one boss who rivalises for now to me is queen, although rouxls is also very fun.

as for the story itself... i liked it :) susie & noelle are fucking ADORABLE. i think they deserve to be happy forever like not even together just individually as characters they're the fucking best. susie's grown so much that's my girl... wough... ralsei i do like but... i don't trust him :D i don't think he's evil but he knows too much and tells us too little until he can't keep it for himself and i don't like that. like bro you're gonna get us in trouble stop. but ALSO some ppl speculate that himself is being misled and that the fountains wouldn't bring the roaring, which is an interesting theory. (also i miss lancer being more relevant)

uhh kris is... well... kris... :)... yeah i did hear about that theory i'm in a discord server where ppl have been going on and on about theories since the game dropped LMAOO we're all insane. um. my personal theory is that there's another knight, or that kris is at least also influenced by an "evil force" or whatever, and we're the good force influencing them bc otherwise they're just a normal albeit mischievous kid. and the stretch part is that uhhh there's two knight pieces on a chessboard, ik this isn't about chess at all but king of spades does tell you at the end of chapter 2 that you'll meet a more powerful foe = the queen, coincidentally in chess the queen is stronger than the king. hmmmmmmmmmmm. lmao i don't think my parallel here is right but it's fun to think about anyway

did you see the superboss? i didn't fight him myself but he's so fun. also @ everyone who said he's gonna be a tumblr sexyman i hate that you're right shut that shit down HJKSNFKJSDHG. also did you see the secret fucked up pipis route? it's horrible. genuinely... i watched a streamer play it and 😳 uh. well i didn't even hate berdly before anyway yeah he's annoying but like he's a snot-beaked kid i'm not gonna wish him... whatever happens in this route. legit scarring. and poor noelle... pffbbgtbg. hate this so much. but i think it was done so bad and horrible on purpose, with how specific your gameplay has to be for you to be able to complete it tonby really was like "you wanna be an asshole? undertale wasn't enough? fine. work for it. and also suffer" nskjshf. i'm never doing it <3

lastly FUCKING QUEEN!!!!!!! QUEEN MY LOVE!!!!! BEST CHARACTER. i love her sosososo much it's unreal. and i didn't mind any character designs much, i'm not too complicated in that regard shfkjsdfh i love the tasques and tasque manager though :) also the... idk their names... the butler dudes? they're so cute. swatch's design is neat

so those are my thoughts <3 can't wait to hear more from u!!!

[moderately-competent-bird]

I’m bored, here’s every opinion I have about every Legacies ship I can think of, plus some of my rare-pairs. If I miss one just let me know and also feel free to tell me I’m wrong.

Landon x Hope

I love Landon. I love Hope. I just win with this one? 

I do want d r a m a though. I don’t watch the CW to feel happy. 

make them suffer a little bit but like please let them both be happy and alive

thx in advance

Hope x Lizzie 

Would die for them

literally currently dying for them. 

idk, I just...love the whole enemies to friends to lovers trope and this just does it for me

and the poetry of it all

Hope x Josie

I shipped it in season one

I cannot anymore

I mean idk, I just feel like they’re used as bait too much and it ruined it for me

hosies lowkey ruined this one for me, but I’m also just not really Team Josie right now. I actually preferred her being evil lmao, and that was so short-lived

Josie x Penelope

I’m not holding my breath for Penelope to come back

also the posie shippers get on my nerves every time there’s like any post on Legacies social media accounts.

It’s been like two years girls, take a break, we’ll call you if she comes back

stop clogging up the comments with “BrInG hEr BaCk!!!”

but idk, posie is still cute if you ignore all that

Lizzie x Landon

if handon doesn’t work out, and if hizzie doesn’t happen, this is the only thing I will focus all of my brain cells on

why are they so cute??? Who gave them the right to have the best scenes??? 

Josie x Landon

I just wanted to include this one because for some reason, while I don’t really ship jandon and I don’t really ship hosie, I feel like Hope x Josie x Landon is...there’s definitely something there. I’d allow it for the throuple, okay?

Lizzie x MG

I go back and forth on them SO MUCH

like SO MUCH

I love them as besties, but sometimes they have scenes where I just wanna die bc it’s adorable.

I think I just like shipping Lizzie with nerds

my back-up back-up male/female ship

Josie x Kaleb 

I wasn’t gonna include this because i don’t really think anyone really ships them

but they’re playing Damon and Elena in the next episode for the musical and I’m kinda curious?

Hope x Rafael

I’m not really feeling this one, but they have some cute scenes

somehow they feel Too Straight and there is no logical way to explain that when I’m fine with some of the other straight pairings. It’s just...it is what it is

Hope x Ethan OR Hope x Maya

I’m pretty ehhhh about either of these rn. Like we just don’t know enough. I don’t even know if Maya is coming back??? Does anyone? 

Landon x Wade

Like lol why not

they bring something to the table

it’s something gay

Lizzie x Sebastian

only because I wanna look at Thomas Doherty. I am selfish and stupid

maybe after therapy for both of them

this shouldn’t even be on here, I just feel like the whole vampire pirate thing should have been more fun than it was

Sebastian x MG

another one where I think I’m just on my own here

IDK

THEY JUST??? KINDA HAD SOME MOMENTS???

sorry, sorry, I’m moving on

Josie x Jade

I can’t ever decide if it’s weird or not bc Jade knew Josie briefly when she was a wee baby

Like in general I give vampires a pass and only ever see them as the age they were turned, so like I see Jade as a teenager. I think there’s enough evidence of how fucking stupid they are to make my case.

but it IS weird she knew Josie as a wee baby

Kaleb x MG

the writers did that whole “I’m your family now” thing and I feel like they do that with every potential mlm ship lmao

fucking homophobic, if you ask me

why does every male relationship have to be familial in this show

let the boys be gay!

I’m gonna ship it, you can’t stop me 

Alyssa x Lizzie

Mean girls 

we love it

they haven’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of happening

and YET....
