having tony collette's peachy fact be that he only smokes to fit in with societal norms in the same episode that we find out he's actually italian (and maybe has some love for his heritage considering his cheese comment?) despite his self-professed loathing of italians is making me a little ill bc it's like. here's this man who is doing absolutely everything he can to fit into society even if that means hiding his true feelings behind constant machismo bluster 24/7 who is starting on a journey that we the audience know will put him through some truly horrific ordeals that, even if he somehow manages to survive them, will isolate and distance him from the society he so desperately wants to be a part of. the thing about tony collette that's been clear from the beginning is that he seems to *enjoy* being a vaguely sleezy used car salesman, he truly relishes and embraces this role. but how much of this is just a part that he plays? how much of this is a reflection of who is truly is versus a mask for him to hide behind? and, once he's forced to face whatever horrors are hiding beneath the surface of peachyville, how much of his mask will be stripped away?

episode 1 of the new season was awesome

[kelpermoosee]

For ur Nintendo high olimar, do u think his voice was always that deep in HS or was it high pitched till a random Tuesday came by n it dropped to what we have in canon??

Oh man, I actually haven’t considered this at all 😭😭😭 I guess my brain automatically jumped to him having a deep voice, since the cast of Nintendo High usually keeps voices close to their canon counterparts, which makes sense!

HOWEVER, the idea of him having a stupid, lame, squeaky voice at first is absolutely adorable and I’m totally going to steal that, 100%. THANK YOU.

The moment it dips he probably gets super embarrassed about it, and swears to take a vow of silence that lasts for like…two days. And the second he utters a single word everyone is absolutely fucking baffled (rightfully), and it’s the talk of their year for an hour before they eventually move onto something else like all things in Nintendo High do

been watching naruto for the first time and i feel so so emotional about itachi

itachi who took the slaughter of his clan upon himself because it meant sasuke would be spared, knowing this would turn him into a monster in the eyes of his village the world and his little brother

itachi who’s father’s last words were “i’m still proud of you, you are truly a kind child” itachi who wept with a blade held against his mothers back

itachi who never tried to explain the true meaning of his actions to sasuke in life, who planted to seed of hatred in sasuke in the hopes that sasukes drive for revenge would make him more powerful (itachi who created one of the most powerful shinobi of his little brother)

itachi who wouldn’t let sasuke believe he was perfect, itachi who didn’t ask for forgiveness

itachi who in death trusted that sasuke was not lost, that sasuke could still be saved, itachi who understood that sasuke was one side of a coin, who trusted his brother trusted naruto trusted that sasuke would be okay

and sasuke, who feels so alone so lost so vindicated in his anger at the leaf, at his brother, at the world, who was protected at every turn by his itachi. sasuke who was always precious to his brother, always held with care, always loved, even if he never knew the full breadth of it until itachi was truly gone.

I would like to say that the shit has hit the fan on the hermitcraft server, but let's be real, the shit hit the fan a long time ago. Now it's more like the entire digestive system has hit the category 5 hurricane.

[charbroiledchicken]

i will forever and always enjoy the christian symbolism in tadc. i eat that shit up.

[kooldewd123]

do you think elfangor ever told ax about his experience on the taxxon homeworld. when ax says that he's heard of andalites who have morphed taxxons, do you think elfangor was one of those, or did he merely stand to the side and silently relive those memories? do you think elfangor saw ax researching taxxon morphs and couldn't stop himself from remembering arbron and wondering what had happened to him?

Lazy manager doodles ^^ I'm still trying to get his head-shape right rajhh

Diasomnia Students: how come the Tsum Lilia spoils Silver?

Lilia: I don’t have favorites-

Tsum Lilia: *cuddling sleepy Silver*

Lilia:

Lilia: I hope you know that is my spot.

BANGS HANDS LOUDLY ON THE DASH, THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT TO SEE!!!!

Not just the Diasomnia students, ALL of NRC straight up LAUGHS at Lilia's ridiculous claim that he doesn't have favorites— it's abundantly clear how he dotes on the boy, they're always in each other's presence and the third year seems to delight in being Silver's preferred shoulder/lap of choice when he succumbs to a sleeping spell. Countless of students have stumbled upon them cuddled together in the shade of a tree or on the comfiest couch in the Diasomnia common room— Sebek has had to dispel more than one persistent rumor about the nature of their relationship with red spots of color high on his cheeks.

And now, Tsum Lilia instantly following suit?? He is PILLOW-SHAPED!!! He smells just like Father, Silver muses to himself as he nearly face-plants into the squishy creature, like petrichor and pine and a touch of wild magic. Tsum Lilia wiggles its little legs happily as Silver snores gently against its back while Lilia pouts from across the room. He can't hold a grudge for long though, not when this creature who so strangely resembles himself seems to have the same deep affection for the human boy sprawled contentedly against it.

Smiling softly at the sight, he crouches down by his Tsum, crimson gaze bittersweet and fond as he lays a hand gentle upon his son's vulnerable head. "Take good care of him while he sleeps, alright?" He whispers quietly as it blinks up in solemn understanding. "He's as precious as his namesake to me— but you already knew that, didn't you?"

❗️LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE SPOILERS❗️

I FINISHED THE GAME MOODBOARD

[margindoodles2407]

Soooo @seeking-elsewhither I am continuing to work on my Clones and Music post for HFSW (don't know WHY it's taking so long but it is for some reason) BUT. I did manage to finish my stuff about the Baddest of Batches and thought, Hey. I should talk about this before I run out of steam. So enjoy

Clones and Music, Bonus Content: The Bad Batch

Wrecker, who is a Bass, would be so disappointed if I didn't let him play percussion, so really I had no choice. He has amassed a small collection of almost every different kind of percussion instrument known to the Archipelago; he's got a tradition of managing to get his hands on at least one from every island they visit. The pride and joy of his collection, though, is a xylophone built from the bones of Battle Droids he's bested (this concerns Hunter, perplexes Tech, amuses Crosshair, and utterly fascinates Omega).

Echo, when he was young, played the flute on board the RSS Resolute. But a skeleton hand can't fit quite right on the keys of a traditional pipe. So, in Clone Force 99, he picks up the pan flute. It's not as elegant as his former instrument; it's quite simple, really. Privately, though, Echo's glad for the simplicity. It's been far too long since he had any of it in his life.

Tech, a tenor, built a whole kriffing piano into the lower deck of the Marauder. It's quite literally mounted into the wall, and its creation and upkeep is one of his pet projects. He's also teaching Omega to play. (After his death, the mere sight of it is something his brothers' broken hearts can't bear, and they cover it with a bolt of black cloth like a shroud. The sound of piano music isn't heard again until about a year after Hunter, Wrecker, Cross and Omega finally settle down on Pabu. While the Batch was away to Tantiss, the citizens of the island- led by Phee- managed to salvage parts of the wreck of the Marauder, and used those pieces to construct a new piano, to give to them as a gift in gratitude for everything they'd done. Omega's out of practice, but she almost immediately takes her lessons back up again and within months, she can be heard playing almost every night.)

Hunter's a Baritone and plays the mandolin. Due to his advanced hearing, he's able to pick up even the slightest sour notes in his playing, so whenever he plays it's like, a level of sound unknown to man. Combine this with Cross's perfectionistic skill, as is often the case in the lower decks of the Marauder, and you get perhaps the most hauntingly beautiful music you've ever heard. He's also the most prolific composer of the Batch, and can often be found on deck late at night picking out melodies with only the moon and stars and a single stump of a candle for light. It helps him relax. (He… doesn't play much, after Crosshair splinters. Sure, he half-heartedly strums out a few simple tunes to try to keep his family's spirits up, but without his brother's accompaniment, something just isn't right. It's only after Omega starts playing the piano again that he really takes it up again with the same passion as before.)

Crosshair. Ohohoho. Crosshair is a tenor, like Tech. Unlike Tech, Crosshair plays the fiddle. And he's karking good at it. Crosshair Bad Batch is a man who does nothing halfway and his music is absolutely no exception; he's learned and mastered almost every style of fiddling in the Archipelago, and with his steady hands and nimble fingers, he's perfectly suited to playing rapid-fire, overly-complicated pieces. That is… until the Empire. As it disbands the Clone Choir and Orchestra, and as he left his fiddle on the Marauder, he spends months out of practice (he used to practice every night)-- and, by the time he finally comes to his senses and escapes Tantiss with Omega, his hand shakes so badly that every note he tries to play turns sour. It's too much for his proud, perfectionistic heart to take. It comes to pass that one day, in the wee hours of the morning on Pabu, Omega can't sleep and realizes that he's nowhere to be found. She goes to find him and is horrified to discover he's snuck out to the shore to burn the kriffing thing in a fit of rage, frustration, and self-loathing. Distraught, Omega tries to fish it from the flames, but when he begs her to stop for fear she'll burn herself, she simply sits with him in silence till the fire dies away. (Unfortunately, his ability to play the fiddle is something Crosshair never recovers. When he loses his hand on Tantiss, his fate is sealed, and even with a prosthetic his fingers are too clumsy for him to ever take it back up again. But he starts to write music. Music for Omega to play on her piano. Hunter helps him with his composition- and even though they can't play their strings together anymore, the hours upon hours of sitting picking out harmonies in their small home's front room helps to heal their broken relationship in ways they never thought it could.)

Today I went on my first-ever date with another lady!

We met on the dating site H.E.R after chatting for over a month and though I was terrified of my 1st date as a bisexual woman, I'm also so, so very proud of myself for going thru with it.

Overall, my date was so very kind, attentive, funny, and pretty! She gave me a warm, tight hug when we met outside the burger joint; we chatted casually as we waited in line (she thought I was shy at first...and I was!!); she insisted I order first; she likes her iced tea sweet like I do.

She likes vanilla milkshakes with whipped cream and I like cheer-wine floats; she shared chicken wings with me and I shared french fries with her; when I teased her that she's nasty for liking bleu cheese dip, she unironically bought me hot pleasantly mild sauce for my fries and insisted it was mine; we both made each other burst out laughing with personal stories and anecdotes; we shared some minor pain with respect; she likes red and sportswear and I like pink and Barbie; she gave me an even bigger, tighter hug at the end of the date...the kind that makes my ribs hurt a little and makes my back feel squished.

Just the kind of hug I like.

She thinks I'm adorable as anything.

I'm not too sure where it's all going to go yet, but I cannot wait for our 2nd date to a movie next week! Gah!
