#I’m doing Arabic tutoring a few times a week#because my Arabic is okay#but I really want to use it for my next project#and definitely for my dissertation#so it would be good to be able to read at a higher speed with better accuracy#anyway#my tutor (who is very sweet and a university student) asked me yesterday if it was okay to ask my age#I said it was fine and that I’m 23#she started giggling and admitted that she thought I was 16#maybe 17 max#I have to teach undergrads after I finish my orals. in a year and a half#and apparently I look like a child#I can’t say I’m surprised b/c I’m the youngest in my PhD cohort#but this really is going to be a mess#that does explain why I constantly get carded#even just walking into a bar

the callum / runaan dynamic is so funny bc like. out of nowhere your daughter has a boyfriend who happens to be the most wildcard character you imagine she could find - human (mind you you're currently in the process of unlearning all your racial prejudices), magical, and a government official in addition to all of his other Emo Personal Lore - and they're the most beautifully devoted but also most painfully public affection-displaying couple you've ever seen and the guy also kind of freed your soul from purgatory plus you love and trust your daughter so basically you just kind of have to Deal With It. yet it would seem he's determined to make that as difficult as possible because he is the biggest fucking dork you have ever met in your life and it seems you are the only person who is bothered by this because your husband is amused, your daughter thinks he is the greatest thing to ever happen, and the dumbass himself attempts to show you some respect but also apparently refuses to stop being cringe so now you must continue on with your life while this loser teenager does your daughter in the room next to yours every night and you can't do anything about it because oh yeah you killed his father
#like he's just There#like rayla's just like “oh yeah he lives here now” and YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT#because they are in no place to be disapproving of rayla over anything#and again of course he is so good to her and he makes her so happy and you can't deny they are in unfathomable amounts of love#so yeah ok you have to tolerate him but you'd think he'd act like someone who is living with his girlfriend's parents whom he just met#and yeah he does try to suck up but he's also acting a fool every day of his life and is apparently not looking to change that#and he is not AT ALL shy with your child and will suck her face off any chance he gets#and rayla is so smart and strong and capable that you know she knows exactly what she's doing#and-#i cannot fucking say this enough#-you just have to *DEAL WITH IT.*#rayllum#moonfam#runaan#tdp runaan#callum#tdp callum#rayla#tdp rayla#tdp s7#tdp spoilers#tdp#the dragon prince#continuethesaga#giveusthesaga#tdp fav tag#self fav tag i hate myself

do people who have listened to taz balance but not graduation Know that it was HEAVILY IMPLIED that lup and barry eventually adopted a lil sorcerer child who got disowned by his family for his natural necromancy magic, and they taught him how to use his powers for good and were overall great parents that he looks back on fondly
(and said child grew up to be a dimension-hopping lich, caretaker of the dead, and very sweet adoptive father of a major npc)
#eliot posts#taz#the adventure zone#taz balance#taz graduation#lup taaco#barry bluejeans#blupjeans#like they never specifically say ''my parents are barry and lup'' so it's left up to interpretation but#he says he came from another world other than nua (nua is the name of the grad world like faerun is the balance world)#he says both his parents were highly skilled necromancers that ''travelled'' a lot because of their work#he says that inter-planar travel runs in the family#and he likes to bake#also travis apparently said on a livestrean that he got something carved by magnus for his daughter#it's a fun little easter egg for balance enjoyers but kept vague enough where it's like. you don't have to know about balance to enjoy it#anyway tho it's adorable cuz he talks about how much of a positive impact his parents made on him#and how he wanted to emulate them when raising his own daughter#and he's a good dad and his daughter loves him (also she is an absolute delight i love her#and like the only older adult to look at our college-aged protagonists and be like#''yeah it's messed up that you have to deal with all of this you're so young you're the same age as my child i will help however i can''#like balance easter egg aside gordy is one of my fav graduation npcs (behind his daughter rainer who is my fav)

Fucked up Taichi Amagi AU you are so important to me
#it's all a3stars rn bc me and Rizo like to be insane TOGETHER. crossover allows for this#I love bullshitting ways for this to make sense.#Taichi says in canon he dyed his hair red in highschool and his baby sprite has black hair BUT#in Taichi Amagi time he got fucking KIDNAPPED for his own good. get him out of that house#but his parents got scared they would find him so they dyed his hair black#he does still bleach and dye it himself in highschool to look cool. he wants to see what he would look like with his natural hair#it ends up pinkish but his parents get so worried about it again that he keeps it this shade and he has to keep the black patch...#bc the black patch will throw people off#ANYWAY. REALLY CONVOLUTED BUT#digital#a3! act! addict! actors!#a3!#enstars#ensemble stars#taichi nanao#rinne amagi#very stupid but we are having fun over here#also they both use oretchi apparently??#Taichi face like Hiiro hair like Rinne... they are all... idiot#Taichi feels like a middle child anyway. it works out#(coming from a middle child)

okay.
so it's either a very fancy very nerdy little anvil paperweight
OR
little tyelpe had a teeny tiny forge-like dollhouse made for him by feanor, who painstakingly designed every tiny detail and made all toy equipment himself because tyelpe, too young to be in forge, insisted that he absolutely needs to be a smith like his father and grandfather and needs to begin learning now.
and who was feanor to refuse his only grandson who wanted to learn his craft when he only started to walk without bumping into everything? feanor would be elated and would spend hours playing with tyelpe in his little forge. it was before the silmarils when feanor had all the time in the world for his beloved grandson.
the anvil was one of many parts of that dollhouse, one of few that made it to beleriand and the only one that made it through to the second age with celebrimbor.
he could never make himself part with it.
#yeah#nothing better than taking a look at an item appearing for like 1 second and making a heartwrenching headcanon#i love stabbing myself with angst#i headcanon that celebrimbor was very young when they left valinor#not a toddler but maybe an equivalent of 7-8 year old#old enough to understand some things but young enough to be absolutely traumatized#based on that one absolutely amazing fanart of curufin and little tyelpe where he apparently had a nightmare#and curufin says 'no one is coming to take you' and tyelpe responds with 'but they took uncle nelyo'#i saw it some 3-4 years ago and i kid you not it randomly appears in my brain just to haunt me#so he is still a child and was allowed to take some of his toys and obviously his little forge had to come with him#not all of it only some parts because there were more important things to pack#and feanor promised him they would make the missing equipment together once they settled down and were relatively safe#and then he died#and then over the years some of the toys were lost and some were broken#and then celebrimbor was no longer a child and when they had to run he packed food and clothes and weapons not his toys#but this little anvil he would snuck into his pack anyway#and against all odds the anvil made it through the first age unscathed#if there was one thing reminding him of better times it was this#somebody fucking sedate me#brainrot has taken control over my every thought literally#celebrimbor#tyelpe#telperinquar#curufin#feanor#rings of power#beleriand#valinor#first age#silmarillion

Back with a sketch of this idiot (+how he looks in Rev AU's Limbo)
#call of duty modern warfare 2#cod mw2#cod ghost#simon ghost riley#call of duty modern warfare#cod fanart#call of duty fanart#every once in a while I have to sketch him again bc I'm like 'I can do his face better'#I can do whatever I want with his face obviously since nothing's in canon but#I think I've been getting it more and more 'Ghost'#which apparently looks like a starving victorian child mixed with the essence of a wet cat.#anyway Im working on a oneshot that uh. kinda got out of hand.#as in it's 12k words long and I'm not. done yet.#took a break from that to make this#now its back to writing... editing is gonna be something else with that one....#revenant au#almost forgot to tag that lmao

Just saw someone posting about Lucifer being sexualized and drawn as a woman. And it was said in kinda offensive way, like there's something wrong with our minds. They literally added '#stop it'
thats such a wild take what 😭😭
#reminds me of the take abt lucifer artists drawing him like a child or smth#like apparently big round eyes and being short makes you a child ig 😭😭#like short people just look teeny next to tall people thats just how it is#i know that firsthand bc my ass is barely 5'0 😭#hazbin hotel#lucifer morningstar#ask

Whooooo could have predicted this?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#Poorly drawn MDZS#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#fairy#I love that they go up a mountain to check out fake ghost rumours. It's everything I want out of a date (Nature hike & something haunted)#I just know these two are big hike fans (wwx prob 'gets tired' and 'needs to be carried' at the end)#(he doesn't need it he just wants to be held)#Its not super apparent but wwx is using 'gonna be haunted in there' as an excuse to not encounter the dog#thats on me for rushing this one though#the end result makes lwj look like one of those dad's that's like 'come on kids lets go check out these dark caves! Nothing creepy here!'#Which is a vibe he deserves to have. Maybe with a more blunt tone.#I don't know who would be a worse chaperone tbh. I think together they would be good but separate? Chaos.#Speaking of chaperoning...Jin Lin sure did wander off. Wonder where he went?#JC needs to invest in a stronger child leash 'cause his nephew keeps chewing through it and running off

ms huang the child supervisor is so unsettling, was she brainwashed by her parents was she severed who would allow their child to be put into work in such a place no less and with a group of people who already rebelled before she's a safeguard they wouldn't hurt an innocent child right
#the actress is 18 apparently but she looks about 14 to me#severance#severance spoilers#ig?#the water bubble toy game she uses btw I had like 5 versions of it as a child

I drew another Chara- living with the Dreemurrs edition
"The King and Queen treated the human child as their own. The underground was filled with hope."
I don't like this as much as the last one but oh well... I ended up rambling a huge amount in the tag, so if you want details and headcanons about the actual drawing again, you'll have to look pretty far down this time, sorry (Also, I ran out of tags after a while. Tumblr is tired of me, lol. I might reblog this more tags later if I remember what I was going to say.)
#chara dreemurr#undertale#next up: the narrator#(I know that's not a title they receive in game like the other two but... just let me have this)#The future monarch of monsterkind. The prophecized saviour. One of the most important people in the underground. An angel apparently.#Chara puts all of their effort into appearing perfect in both appearance and manners. They're representing all the underground now and they#don't want to let down the king and queen! (Plus Chara's scared of getting kicked out or worse should they ever disappoint their family)#But... they're gonna save everyone! They're gonna make sure the monsters win this war! It's their destiny! The prophecy says so!#(... That's why all this happened to them. Chara sees themself as smarter more careful and maturer than their peers... because of the way#what a strange child...#hey look! I did a thing#my art#they were raised on the surface. They believe they have the skills to lead monsterkind to victory because of what they suffered.#Almost like they were trained or led to this moment. Like they don't have a choice. But this makes all their pain worth it right?#It was always for this fated grand purpose right? That's why they hate feeling robbed of their ''purpose''! Might be part of why they hate#determination! What do you mean you can defy fate? What do you mean things could've been different? That I didnt have to go through this?#that it wasn't written in the stars?... Oh shit I forgot to talk about the drawing!#The little bunches are supposed to look like monster ears. Especially with the monster soul locket. They're doing a curtsy which they alway#upon meeting someone new and introducing themself as the future monarch of monsterkind. Calling whoever they're talking to sir or ma'am.#Wanted to make it a curtsy/bow combination but I couldn't draw that. They have a little golden flower clip to pull their hair back and#they gave themself the belt and flouncy petticoat. They iron and polish everything they wear literally everytime they go outside.#Chara wears heeled boots whenever possible because they really hate being so short...they somehow think it makes them look weak.#The blushes and lashes are make-up! Chara wants to look perfect after all! They also really really hate their red spots/birthmarks and will#cover them up whenever possible...and they're wearing their crucifix again. Of course they are! Through it all they'll always keep#their faith. ....Until Chara finds themself a figurehead of an entirely new religion. I think they're...newly 11 here. (Second year in the#underground. 10 when they fell. 13 when they did.) Comfortable (comfortable as they can be) with their new family but not yet desperate#to get them out as soon as possible. Might not even be working with Gaster yet. But Asriel already gave Chara their locket.#I definitely think it was...a while before Chara really thought of returning the favour. Not that they don't utterly shower#Asriel and their parents in other gifts or affection! But they're just not one to make... promises of forever lightly. Especially because#Chara isn't really planning on staying around for a long time at all! They will break the barrier like prophecized then climb the mountain

Amongst the myriad ways the Voltron: Legendary Defender writers failed spectacularly, is the unintentionally humorous example of Shiro's supposed future husband, "Curtis", having more chemistry with Acxa, in the form of an actual conversation he initiates with the intention of learning personal information about her.
"What about you, Acxa? Did you have pets where you're from?"
"I never had a creature companion. But, one of my partners, Narti, was bonded to an immortal cat named Kova.
That cat gave her the ability to experience the world."
"Oh. That's... 'great'."
This is more than he has with Shiro in the entire thirteen episode season, wherein their interactions are limited exclusively to shouting impersonal commands at each other in the heat of battle.
#Voltron: Legendary Defender#Meta.#VLD Meta.#I don't care what anyone says; I will NEVER acknowledge Shiro and Mr. Set-Dressing's 'relationship' as canon.#There's no chemistry#no build-up#no basis for it#'Curtis' himself has no personality to speak of outside of this interaction#which makes him seem like kind of a jerk (poor Shiro is 2-2 on asshole boyfriends#apparently)#and the animators made 'Curtis' look like a sorry middle-aged loser who went in to try and lift or dip his strapping younger groom#drew up short when he realized he's physically incapable of doing either#and then tried to conceal his shame with a kiss.#All because the asshole showrunners wanted brownie points for helming the first cartoon aimed at a child audience to show an onscreen gay#wedding#after they put Shiro through HELL#KILLED him#only brought him back because they were ordered to#and then treated him like a worthless side character they kept around out of obligation while disrespecting at every feasible turn.#They get no brownie points and they and their joke of a 'wedding' can piss off forever.#All I want is to fly with queue.

So yeah, this is what happens if you try to look at John while Joseph is talking to you during the Cleansing 😅
#disappointing? yes#entertaining? at least yeah kind of haha#far cry 5#joseph seed#poor joseph#holding my head as best he can and looking weird doing it#me: 👀#joseph: 'you’ve been giv- child... please. you’ve been given a gift.'#my screenshots#far cry 5 screenshots#from a video recorded in my game#it’s thanks to this one I realized john apparently avoids his brother’s gaze#I wrote a post about that a while ago but#when joseph turns to him it looks like they make eye contact for a split second and then john immediately looks down...

Genuine question but what is it with The Count of Monte Cristo adaptations that almost always lessen the female characters's unique traits and important moments even when they're marketed as "modernized"? You'd think that 21st century writers would know how to keep the characters' defining moments while bettering lesser aspects, yet they're still outdone by Alexandre Dumas somehow.
#the count of monte cristo#the 2024 film in particular is rife with so many issues regarding three characters and every time I think about it#I still can't believe it#Mercedes for one thing has her backstory altered#again....#haydee is at least more independent but then they swapped her entire revenge plan and move against Fernand for#a seduction plot with her and Albert which frankly makes Edmond look like a complete idiot#Villefort's sister Angele is treated horribly......he apparently sells her out to a brothel???#and lmao her only role in the film is to be saved by Edmond#find out about Villefort's illegitimate child#then be sold off and then die when she's telling Edmond this

MIKE BLOCKED ME ON TWITTER FOR ROASTING HIS DUMBASS RESPONSE TO THE GRAPHIC NOVEL STUFF!!
grown ass man scared of the 19-year-old queer being mean to him over his public meltdown more at 8.
#ramblez#little white boy sad? U sad bc nobody likes you? Bc u constantly make a fool of urself and show off ur distaste for ur fans? lmao#this is one of the greatest things to ever happen to me imagine how mad he'll be when he finds out the fangame Im making has queers in it#hes gonna have a whole other white boy meltdown on main KJSNFDGKJHFGKJHGKJHSDFGSD#hes so fucking sensitive maybe just get off of social media Mike this never ends well for you#batim#batdr#bendy and the ink machine#bendy and the dark revival#and look Im joking around about this but it really is sad that the bendy devs cant handle this kind of critique towards their decisions#it seems despite the backlash once again they are choosing to ignore their fans which is yknow upsetting#But hey ig if the devs being awful was a dealbreaker for this fandom I wouldve left a long time ago and I havent#dw Im not going anywhere <3#also if anyone else here was also criticizing Mike maybe check his acct to make sure ur not blocked now since apparently#old habits die hard and this is certainly a pattern with him KJHDSFKGJHSDKFGJHDFGSD#also look before anyone asks yes I was kinda mean to him over this but to put bluntly if hes gonna be this dismissive to his fans concerns#he deserves it. Theres this persistent attitude esp in bendy fanspaces of being defensive of the devs#and I dont know why they have been extremely horrible people every single chance they get#and its very hurtful to see how many people would rather tell me to be kinder to the people who broke the heart of a child me when they#dismissed any ideas of putting queers like me in their stories than to realize Mike n Meatly bring this bad attention to themselves#to put bluntly I dont owe them kindness not until they at least apologize for the shit they did which they still havent#mike hasnt even addressed his vent poem in the code of BATDR let alone the other shit he said n did#so no I will not be kind to him ever hope this helps!

AU where the second Titan war didn't happen with camp Jupiter because of how Saturn is much more significant in ancient Rome, so even as Kronos he couldn't be effed to fuck with the Romans
So when Percy mentions that he defeated Kronos, Jason is v much "bro what" because, uh, grandpa is much more cool on the Roman end, so how dare you fight the guy who brought peace and agriculture to Latium
#happy talks pjo#its interesting because looking into it there's apparently very little info on jupiter as a child or the overthrow of titans#compared to greek myths where it much more prevalent#i think a much more major part of roman mythology is rhe foundation of rome as a political and sturdy entity#so the creativity that greek mythology engaged in wasnt as important and the conflation/adoption was essentially just sure whatever#like maybe where greeks were serializing the rules and whys of the world and nature around them#romans were more focused on how the rules and foundation of rome affected the world around them#rather than an adherence to the natural world the romans sought more so to make rhe natural world adhere to them - if that makes sense?#im not a historian so idk 😂🤷♂️
