#and a lot of other stuff

[kinloch-warden]

One thing I keep coming back to playing as a Crow and trying to romance anyone is like. What sort of future can I offer my LI? As a Crow, you don't have the freedom to share your life with someone- not really. You are bound to the guild and have to serve the guild and will be hunted down and killed if you leave. You can't move to Minrathous to start a life with Neve after the game, you can't join Bellara in her expeditions to ancient ruins, etc. etc. etc. You have to keep doing contracts for the Crows. Unless they're changing the "desertion = death" thing that was a huge part of Zevran's story relating to the Crows along with all the other stuff they're sweeping under the rug?

Obviously I haven't finished the game but so far it doesn't seem like this'll be addressed. The Crows are the good guys now, after all!

I mean...

Free! ran its entire course and is over, plain and simple. (I know, not even news at this point. Still.)

Last year we got B-Project season 3 - if not completely out of the blue (I legit don't know), I think it's fair to say it was at least outta left field. I sure didn't expect that.

Also last year, HypMic also got a 2nd season, another thing I honestly had no real hope for (but was, ofc, happy as hell for it) - and now they're even releasing a second game (which, lbr, they're dropping the ball HARD with, not doing it in English as well, but I digress).

Outside of manga/anime, but also lastyear, and to me personally, still just as completely and absolutely incomprehensible, both BUCK-TICK's Sakurai Atsushi, and (just ten days later!) X JAPAN's HEATH passed away.

Haikyuu!! is ... well, at this point we're just waiting for its coffin lid to be nailed down with the last movie (pardon the morbid).

But - in May this year, we got news that a DAIYA sequel is in the works. (While Boukyaku BATTERY was doing a damn fine job of tiding us over.)

KnY is in its final stretch with a trilogy coming up ... er, well. Sometime. Fwiw, it's definite.

The BNHA anime just passed some major manga milestones.

Amidst all this, BLUE LOCK has absolutely taken the world by a storm, I'd say especially with the anime. Then the mobile game which also got an English (and quite actually global!) release, a second mobile game, the second season of the anime coming in October - and the sheer amount and range of various collabs and promotions is just bloody mindblowing - seriously, try following it on Twitter, you'll be overwhelmed in a week. (I'd also say it's breaking some new ground and pushing the envelope in terms of fanservice and attention to certain ... ahem, details, point being the thirst gets quenched more than adequately.)

--- SIGH ---

And then the BOUEIBU crew announces a NEW MOVIE for next year?! For the tenth anniversary - the HELL do you mean it's been a DECADE?! Like, holy shit, I'd felt old enough already, now I feel positively ancient. Just.... idk, sorry, I can't quite put the mindfuck of this (of all this) into words.

Meanwhile, the Twisted Wonderland anime seems to be ... well. It seems not to be. Even though the game, the English version at that, is just now celebrating it's 2.5th anniversary. (Wdym it's been 2.5 years??)

Still though... What's next? My beloved Dream Festival! awakens from its ... not-quite-death, seeing as they have been doing all sorts of limited merch runs and collabs and concerts and limited screenings ever since the franchise's complete emergency shutdown??? Hey, what with everything here, I'm almost willing to say: one can dream... and hope, right?

Cousin, this was a beautiful chapter, there’s so much a I loved from it. Went out to grab my headphones on and played the Beauty and the Best soundtrack and was kicking my feet like a school girl texting her crush

Sonic is so utterly desperately painfully in love with Shadow, is so immensely overwhelming for me to read.

The fact that Shadow opened up to Sonic and basically spilled out in front of him??? And Sonic being so fierce on defending Shadow to even Shadow himself, he called him beautiful and I’m ready to die right there

But also

Cousin

Cousin

What the heck

WHAT THE HECK

WHAT THE HECK?!

HAHA YEAH! Thank you so much for these kind words.

Shadow has a hard time communicating already, and now there’s this guy he thinks he likes but isn’t sure how to approach things. They’re total messes but it’s endearing.

And well….yeahhhhh

*head in hands* I wanna talk about Stella having two love interests and the older gay couple who run Reject Radio's favorite bar and all five of Jax's younger siblings and the nun who helped Mol get offworld

being mentally ill about your ocs, is waiting for someone to read your mind and ask about the 457643235 ideas that even you don’t know about

Nice try Bioware, but I know the state of Southern Thedas better than you do.

First off, it matters if the Hero of Ferelden is alive or not. When the First Warden recalled all wardens, our hero knew that was a bad call and refused, finally splitting off from Weisshaupt after years of mismanagement and taking scores of wardens with them. Their presence and leadership makes all the difference, rallying southern Thedas once more against the blight. If you have only an Orlesian Warden Commander in Amaranthine they’re less inspiring, but as long as you’ve done Awakening they are a boon nonetheless. There is someone to lead the fight against the darkspawn while other focus on the Venatori.

If you 100% completed Awakenings and also Soldier’s Peak, the Ferelden wardens have never been so prepared. They’re organized, they’re outfitted and they’ve been ready for this for years. Also, if you allied with the Architect then you have scores of strange research to give you an edge.

If Merrill completed her Eluvian then she moves south once again and joins the effort. She’s managed to cleanse the blight before and she’s ready to try it again. And her knowledge of the crossroads gives the south an edge on their movement and supply lines. If Hawke’s sibling is a Warden they accompanied her.

If the Inquisitor let Briala have power in any way, the Dales become the leaders in the war against the Venatori, forming a formidable alliance with Ferelden, Orzammar and the Marches, the likes of which have never been seen. And if you completed Jaws of Hakkon then their alliances with the Avvar and Chasind are stronger than ever.

Of course, if the Inquisitor kept the Wardens around after Here Lies the Abyss then their numbers are bolstered. It may cost Wiesshaupt later, but that’s Rooks problem. And if you completed the Descent, then the Inquisitor and Warden had a much better idea of what was coming and spent ten years getting ready.

They will not be broken.

They will weather this storm.

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

a concerning amount of witchblr will be like "um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus" and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish

i can say this with confidence that i'm getting more comfortable drawing sonic. and this is after drawing him over 50 times. the only thing i'm worrying about is perspective and how to draw his quills and shoes and gloves

[tizzymcwizzy]

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!

and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!

Apparently this needs to be said so

Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!

You're not a bad person if you...

forget things quickly

forget people

can't remember entire stages of your life

can't remember important things

can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time

can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests

forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc

forget to reply to texts

remember things and immediately forget them again

can't remember birthdays, events, etc

frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions

can't retain new information

forget things you used to know

only remember things when it's too late

have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories

depend on others to know how an event you were in played out

have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa

... and anything else I might have missed!

That's how it went
