✧ I was commissioned by my soon-to-be mother-in-law to make an art piece for her office, and I drew her Tinker Bell since it's her favorite character! ✧

Poseidon just pisses me off with his “Your mother is a queen among women. I had not met such a woman in a thousand years.” type shit. Uh huh, sure. 1) you’ve stuck your dick in other women. 2) you got a wife. 3) you left Sally and made her raise a child on her own. but you love her! okay Seaweed Man.

When the Ancients first came across one of the coasts of Earthbread, it was hard not to get sucked into a playful mood. Golden Cheese and Hollyberry made sure of that.

They spent a good half of the day running along the coast playing tag, and then splashing water and sand at each other as they reveled in their freedom. Golden Cheese pulled Cacao into the ocean, Hollyberry went around with White Lily collecting sand dollars and shells, and Pure Vanilla laid there and soaked up sun (until he too was dragged into the water).

They all finally tired themselves out and warmed up by the fire, looking up towards the clear night sky and telling stories. This was a life worth living, a life worth fighting for.

Can you ask Nastya if she'll go on a date with me, I'm too scared to do it myself.

I'm not hooking you up with her. If you want to take her out, get your shit together and ask her yourself. She doesn't need some weak-willed idiot.

Trick or treat!🎃🍫

since you were interested in Vegas youtube fic, a lil snip from that! :D

“I’m so glad my Pete left the last guy for you,” Grandma tells Vegas happily.

Vegas narrows in on all the wrong parts of that sentence. “Last guy?” he demands.

“Last guy?” Pete echoes, baffled. He certainly doesn’t remember introducing Grandma to any guys. There weren’t even any guys to introduce, unless he counts that one time he and Ken pretended to be a couple to get free cake when they were on Kim’s duty or all the times Porsche got flirty-drunk. What guy?

“Oh, you know,” Grandma says with an impatient wave and a raspberry, “that nice one on the phone who took you on vacation before you quit.”

Pete and Vegas carefully don’t look at each other. Macau’s eyes swivel between them, looking increasingly baffled but too scared to ask, and Pete carefully doesn’t look at him either. He looks at Grandma, who’s mashing taro without a care in the world.

“…Ah,” Pete says. It’s the best he can manage in the circumstances.

“Right. Him,” Vegas says casually, in that strange way where he can refer to his personas like they’re their own people. His eyes dart between Pete and Grandma, biting the inside of his cheek for a flashing second before another one of his masks slips into place. “You didn’t like him?”

Grandma scrunches her nose and Pete watches more filters fall over Vegas’s eyes. “He was so…nice.”

All of Vegas’s masks crack and crash as he blinks at Grandma and her derision. Grandma scoffs.

“What’s my Pete going to do with a nice boy?” Grandma tuts and pats Vegas’s cheek. “No, you’re much better. You actually have personality.”

She nods decisively and turns back to their food preparation, oblivious to Vegas’s wet-eyed look of awe. Pete feels something inside him ease as he watches Vegas try and fail to bite back a fragile smile and a lot of teary feelings before he walks over to Macau and his camera.

“Hey—!” Macau protests as Pete stops and deletes the recording. He visibly bites back his first two (likely loud) shouts and gives Pete a look of utter frustration.

Pete smiles his Young Master Smile and shuts the camera off. “We have other recordings. This one’s just for us.”

Top 10 Favorite Gintama Characters: #2

[pharawee]

I'm so happy we finally got more of a backstory and a happy ending for Namsom and Kor in City of Stars, even if some of the flashbacks were super painful to watch.

There's this part when that horrible, hateful aunt is being intentionally cruel and transphobic, and I think the translator did a really good job of substituting cultural differences and a lack of gendered pronouns by having the aunt intentionally misgender Namsom:

Still, I don't think the subs quite manage to bring across how incredibly rude and hurtful and transphobic (and homophobic too btw) she really is.

Because in Thailand/Theravada Buddhism sons often ordain for a few weeks or months to honour their parents/family. This isn't expected of daughters. See where this is going?*

(*That being said, some conservative temples/monasteries might not want trans or queer people in general to ordain either because they view queerness as a distraction and/or a bad karma.)

Then there's this bit where the English subs again intentionally use the wrong pronouns but in the Thai original the horrible aunt calls Namsom a slur (tut/ตุ๊ด - which afaik is used for [effeminate] men only) along with kathoey (กะเทย - which is NOT a slur, even if that horrible woman meant it that way) - making it very clear what exactly she thinks of her.

And later, when Namsom tells Kor that she is kathoey (and negl that scene almost broke my heart for so many different reasons 😭), she shows him her ID card.*

Currently there is no way for trans folk in Thailand to change their legal sex, meaning that whenever they have to show any kind of ID (which afaik happens quite often in professional environments) they automatically out themselves. The marriage equality bill that's currently underway will hopefully change that soon. 🙏

(*This was also a plot point in My Ride when one of the moto-taxi drivers discovered that his crush was trans when he found her purse - and he didn't care either. 🥰)

"Misako sucks, she abandoned Lloyd-"

How many times did Garmadon up and leave him.

Do you. Really think boarding school is. Abandonment.

[agalychnisspranneusroseus]

No you don't understand, Anne and Marcy third-wheeling Sasha during the dinner episode (and Sasha third-wheeling herself during battle of the bands) is so important to me. Anne and Marcy have come so far having left Sasha behind. They're happy and confident and strong and closer than ever, all because they were finally free. Because Sasha wasn't there to stunt their growth. Despite how much they love Sasha and how much they don't want to admit the distance helped them, it's true: Anne and Marcy were both victims of a toxic friend and they're learning to move on together. Ik it sounds like I hate Sasha because whenever I write about her I make her out to be a massive piece of shit but that's because... she kinda was! And I love her for that! I love these three, I love their story and their drama and toxicity (I was soooo happy when it was revealed Marcy wasn't as great as she initially seemed like - yes! The CONFLICT is CONFLICTING). Like yes marcanne is my obsession, I have marcanne brain worms, but I think one of the reasons marcanne works so well is because of Sasha. Their past, present and future with her have such a huge impact in Anne and Marcy's relationship with each other and with themselves. You can't separate these three and I love it, how easy it is to ship two of them without making it weird by leaving the third one behind (ironically, Sasha the Character is included by leaving Sasha the Person behind).

Marcanne to me is about two childhood friends living in a toxic situation healing together after leaving, only able to fall in love now that they are free and more comfortable with themselves and each other. They couldn't fully connect with each other before - not really. Anne didn't see the importance of listening to what Marcy had to say nor did she take it too seriously, and Marcy was simply not in contact with real people in the real world at all. None of this was Sasha's fault entirely, but she did third-wheel Marcy and she was possesive with Anne and was just a generally terrible influence on her, while reminding Marcy that, well, she didn't really matter all that much to anyone. Removing Sasha from the equation is not enough but it's a necessary step towards knowing each other better and the fact that they so easily became closer than ever just shows their eagerness to be together for real this time. Marcy's increased confidence and Anne's newfound empathy and admiration for her friend wouldn't have been possible with Sasha's domineering influence present. If they were to fall in love, it'd be because Sasha wasn't there to stop it.

I imagine that, once she finds out, she'd be furious, but mostly just devastated. Her friends only found love once she was gone. As if they think they'll be better off without her.

[Gakuen K] Munakata Reisi Route Translation

One month delayed school trip

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Claudia: This year's school trip was postponed by almost a month from previous years due to a typhoon.

Claudia: Sorry for the delay to everyone who was looking forward to it.

Claudia: Now that we have a clear prospect, we're going to go on a school trip.

Claudia: Now I will hand out the guidebooks for the school trip. Please pass them to the back rows after taking yours.

Saya: (School trip…It's that time of year already)

Saya: (Let's take a look at the guidebook)

Saya: (I didn't know that the school trip is going to be a joint trip for 2nd and 3rd graders)

Saya: (…Does that mean Munakata-senpai goes as well…?)

Saya: (Even if he said it's the same as usual I'm still nervous about it)

Saya: (Huh, the date is…)

Saya: (It coincides with Senpai's birthday)

Saya: (I wish to give him a birthday present for him always being so nice to me)

Saya: (Regardless of whether we're being lovers now or not, I still nervous when I think about it…)

Kukuri: Finally, free time! Well, we came here to buy some souvenirs as planned, but…

Kukuri: Are there any stores that you would absolutely want to stop by?

Saya: Umm…I don't know. I think I'd like to take a look around for now.

Kukuri: Ahh, I see. Because it's Munakata-senpai's birthday, right?

Saya: Uhm. I hope to find something good.

Kukuri: You're enjoying your youth now! I'll help you with that. Let's have a quick look around!

Saya: Ah, it's not like that, I just want to give you a present to thank him for all he's done for me!

Kukuri: Yeah, yeah. Then let's go!

Saya: (In the meantime, I was able to buy a present, even though it's a joint event, we're going separately from the 3rd graders, so it's hard to see them…)

Saya: (If I wait in the lobby, will he pass by?)

Saya: Ah! Munakata-senpai! Please wait!

Munakata: Yes, what is it?

Saya: Um, there's something I need to talk to you about. Is this a good time?

Munakata: Yes. I was just thinking of getting a coffee from the vending machine in the lobby.

Munakata: Did you enjoy your free time?

Saya: Yeah, I did. There are so many things in Okinawa that I have never seen before, even just looking around the stores was a lot of fun.

Munakata: I'm glad to hear that. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't be with you.

Saya: I-Is that so…?

Saya: (I was a little nervous, but maybe it's just like in the novel…calm down, calm down…)

Saya: Ah, right. I wanted to give something to senpai.

Saya: (Ah…!)

Saya: (Because I had it in my bag the whole time I was on the move, the wrapping paper got crumpled…)

Saya: (I'm too embarrassed to give it to him like this)

Munakata: What's wrong? What do I have to receive?

Saya: I guess I'll just have to do it another time. It was in my bag and the wrapping paper got messy…

Munakata: I wouldn't worry about that. The wrapping paper is just appearance.

Munakata: Isn't it what's inside and the feeling that you prepared it for me that counts?

Saya: (Munakata-senpai…)

Saya: Well, um, here…Happy birthday. This is your birthday present.

Munakata: Ohh, thank you.

Munakata: …But did I tell you when my birthday is?

Saya: Oh, actually, Akiyama-senpai told me about it.

Munakata: So that's how it is. Well, may I open it now?

Saya: Yeah.

Munakata: This is…A silver necklace?

Saya: Senpai is an adult, and I thought this kind of thing would suit you…

Saya: (But I think it looks a little cheap when he is holding it in his hands)

Saya: (I had a lot of trouble buying it, but I hope he likes it…)

Munakata: It's nice. I like this kind of design accessories.

Saya: Really!?

Saya: (Maybe senpai just being polite?)

Saya: (Munakata-senpai is in high school now, but he's really mature after all…)

Munakata: You are one of those people whose emotions easily show on your face. Please don't look so concern.

Saya: Eh?

Munakata: I only say something is nice if I think it's nice.

Munakata: I'm not trying to be polite, you understand that, don't you?

Saya: Yeah. Um, senpai. Thank you.

Munakata: I am the one who received the present, so I am the one who should thank you.

Munakata: Saya-kun. Thank you for the present. I will take good care of it.

Saya: Y-Yeah!

Saya: (He just casually called me by my name!)

Munakata: Besides, since I got my first present from Saya-kun, today will be a day I will never forget.

Saya: (I'm so glad he's happy…!)

Munakata: Oh, and since we're free tomorrow, can we meet up for a bit? I was thinking we could go around together.

Saya: Yeah, all right.

Munakata: That's great then.

Munakata: I will be on my own tomorrow, so if you think of going out, please contact me via PDA.

Saya: Understood.

Munakata: Shall we go back to our rooms now? …Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Good night.

Saya: Yeah, good night.
