What if the plant body hadn't worked out, and the Holy Mausoleum solution had actually taken a long time to sort of "fix" Shen Qingqiu's body and fully call his soul back to it, so that hundreds of years passed and civilization in PIDW/SV world progressed to the point of something like the "modern era"?

Imagine Luo Binghe trying to delicately introduce his shizun to such strange concepts as smart phones and credit cards, while Shen Qingqiu is just desperately trying to figure out how dumb he should play this. Would it be believable for him to get everything on the first try? There have to be some differences between what he knows and this world's versions, right, because of the demons and cultivators and things? Right?? But it's not like any of this actually IS difficult for him to grasp!

Luo Binghe: Shizun already discerned how to type using a keyboard...?

Shen Qingqiu, sweating bullets: what, like it's hard?

Caleb is so focused on his date partner fellow player that he doesn't realize he's not paying any mind to how he's treating the EVOL kitties who do not like at all being pet by his right hand. Naturally, he has to be taught a lesson.

But he's offended them so much that he doesn't deserve to join their ranks, oh no. And what could bring the kitties more joy than seeing their arch nemesis brought to his knees at their beck and call?

You belatedly notice the kitties' discontent, but fortunately doesn't see any changes when Caleb wakes up the next day (as he's crashing your place, of course, where else would he be but all up in your space?).

Everything seems fine, until you toss him an orange and he catches it.

In his mouth.

"... Caleb? Are you feeling all right?"

"Never felt better," he replies with eyes too bright, his smile beaming, too wide, as he holds the orange in his left hand.

"Ooookay then. Be a good boy and go sit down-"

Caleb's right hand lands harshly on the table, and vibrates so hard it rattles the mugs.

"... Sooo..." He's panting, his smile more a grimace, mouth parted as he sucks in air. "It would appear that the kitties... uploaded a new personality module."

New Event: Bow, Dog Butler!

ok i finally got around to scribbling down smth about at least one of the shadow triad. bonus harmonia sibling height hcs 👍

i havent decided on names for any of them yet but i was considering Lelantos, Achlys and Nyx

this is one of them like. fresh out of deciding to go his own way. so he's still not really dressing all that different, he keeps wearing a mask bc he feels exposed without it, and the hair thing was a spur of the moment thing he hasn't gotten around to fixing yet. he's dealing with enough rn his awful haircut isnt really a priority

i drew this one with a beauty mark under his mouth, and with the others i'm thinking one has a scar over his lip and the third has a chipped tooth or smth. one of the strategies ghetsis had them use as the triad was making their target think there was only one of them, so the other two could launch an ambush. so of course, ghetsis had to get rid of their distinguishing features and made them wear masks.

God Has My Eyes

One loggerhead shrike must skewer my invertebrate doppelgänger on barbed wire, in a parallel universe. My tongue parallelly bleeds, one small drop, in a mouthful of blood. In tongues all over the world.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. I'm surprised I got this done as fast as I did tbh but BAM HERE IT IS. I got possessed like two days ago with the dialogue for this and then sat back like "....I could comic it out" and then that won the 'which mini project?' poll so HEREEEE YA GO. Took a grand total of like 9 hours to bang this puppy out. My wrists are so mad right now. A good portion of this dialogue is entirely based on my random thoughts/theories/headcanons yadda yadda. I'm very normal as you can tell.

@placeholder-mcd im dropping a ping for you as a treat

If people like this enough maybe I'll pony up and post it on the wikidot if it doesn't step on anyone's toes, since this actually has original writing instead of song lyrics LMAO

Also as a side note there's like... three(?) really specific imagery details in this with some more subtle than others, a cookie to whoever can spot 'em.

"The Boy With The Thorn in His Side"(x) - The Smiths × 2023 Strollonso moments + pundits' reactions

[xunkun]

guys please rei uses ore for his personal pronouns in fiery scream

he doesn't really refer to himself in his first solo, but it's already common knowledge that his first solo wasn't truly a song meant to express the real rei

for fiery scream, it's all about him acknowledging his true self and about how far he's come and his growth

the fact he's not really stressing his vampire/old man persona in the song is showing him stepping out of the mask he made for himself.

this is rei, this is him, this solo. i feel like he wrote for himself. it sounds like a confession in ways. a confession to himself and the world. it sounds like the letters you would write to your past and future self. it sounds so geniune.

and it sounds like its for the rest of undead BECAUSE THEYRE SO SO IMPORTANT TO HIM undead is literally the key I CANT KEEP MY SENTENCES COMPLETE. UNDEAD. REI. IMPORTANT. SO IMPORTANT. 重要. FIERY SCREAM這首歌是零給UNDEAD的報恩之類。不是"歌"，而是他唱出的感情與意思。是零的誠意 啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊

as someone who adored The Sandman in my teens and that became a formative influence for how I'd approach making characters, the whole Neil Gaiman thing is. well.

(more under the cut, nothing graphic)

i haven't idolized people in a long time so what horrible things get exposed about people whose works I've enjoyed are not as shocking but it's still disappointing and gutwrenching thinking about the people he hurt and tried to silence.

people who are famous and rich are, indeed, people and just as fallible as anybody else, but they have privilege that gives them leverage over whoever they target. it's a very uneven power dynamic, whether it's taking advantage of the naivete of someone young and impressionable or their living/money situation. trying to silence victims is truly despicable behavior. it's as though you're aware you're doing something horrible and still keep doing it. over and over and over. what the hell.

so often it's an older man taking advantage of a younger woman but that's not always the case. gender and age can vary but it's always someone leveraging their power over someone they know can't say no to them.

my heart goes out to everyone hurt and traumatized by this kind of shit. i wish you healing and better future despite all of this.

ugh.

Oh I am *cackling* at the producers trying to claim the show was driven by Loki and Sylvie's relationship when she refused to lift a finger to help multiple times (while platonic bestie Mobius was living out romcom moments by the dozen with Loki), and honestly they could have not had her in the season at all and barely anything would change. Like, I don't like that ship but it's still SO deeply disrespectful to give them NOTHING on screen all season while giving all the cute classically shippy moments to Lokius, and then come out after and claim it was some grand, sweeping romance and also there was nothing intentional about giving all the shippy stuff to Lokius. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Also, as I said in some tags, the "we can't get into Loki's head" like is just....peek absurdity. My brother in Christ, YOU'RE the writers! This character has been in the MCU for like, 14 years, played by Hiddleston who is *obsessed* with Loki. Getting into Loki's head should have been a cake walk! And even if it wasn't, IT'S LITERALLY YOUR JOB TO GET IN THE CHARACTER'S HEAD. Maybe this is why shows are so shitty? Instead of letting the characters drive the plot by getting into their heads and making choices from that perspective, showrunners instead twist the characters into a storyline.

ANYWAY.

Charles wrote a column after the F2 race in Baku in 2017. He gives some interesting insights into how his racing mind works. However, proceed with caution (and bring tissues!).

Some bits that stood out for me:

Strangely, it was also probably the most difficult moment of the weekend emotionally. After the pole lap, it was quite bad sitting in my car with my helmet on, because I was thinking about my father, and it was tough. It was qualy laps every lap to try to get back as many positions as possible, to try to win the race. When I saw the gap in front after passing Artem, I knew it would be very hard, perhaps impossible. I had to push like crazy, and that's what I did; I took huge risks every lap to catch up as much as possible and try to get two wins. I'm glad [the Austria GP] is coming up soon, because I think racing is helping me a lot to go through these difficult times. Obviously it will never bring my father back, but at least I can try to do my best on track, try to honour him the best way I can. I think I'm working harder than ever to try to make the best results as I can, to thank him, in a way, for everything he has taught me, for the making me the driver I am today.

the downside to being a sitcom neighbour sort of person is that when rough things happen and emotionally fuck u up a lil bit, it also sounds completely made up
