Remember how they pointed out that Palistrom wood was becoming rarer? Because Belos kept over harvesting it and not giving it time to grow back?
The University’s tree is blue. Its a big ass Palistrom tree
#I THINK. PROBABLY#I haven’t seen any other trees in the show coloured blue. but it has the swirls like Luz’s log#ALSO THE LIGHT GLYPH CARVED ABOVE EDAS OFFICE SNIFFLE#I’ve been seeing a lot of posts abt how the isles are recovering from Belos like removing the coven tattoos and#eda raine and king stomping on Belos. but I thought this was a nice callback#Belos didnt just hurt the people on the isles. he also destroyed a lot of stuff that was culturally important#palistrom makes companions and tools for people on the isles and Belos took all of it for himself. greedy bastard#ALSO if u notice on the banner above the University’s entrance theres a symbol shaped like a titan skull#and if you look at the scene with raine ever wolf and Darius you can see they have the same symbol as a badge or on Darius’ belt#so I assume that means the Isles also formed a new government after Belos died. the fact its shaped like the titan is also cool cause they#dont need to rely on some puritan to lead them pretending tk have their best interests in mind#the Emperors sigil doesn’t even have anything associated with the Isles in the first place either. its Belos imposing his own beliefs#yapping#the owl house#the owl house spoilers#toh#toh spoilers#toh watching and dreaming#watching and dreaming spoilers

pisses me off when homophobes are like "I think it's wrong, but I believe in loving the sinner!! <3" or whatever. great. you're going to be patronizingly/passively homophobic instead of overtly violently homophobic. still homophobic and I still want nothing to do with you or your "love"
#homophobia#discourse#i guess#disrespectfully. don't give a shit#glad you won't stab me in the streets. however. being above that bar does not mean you pass the bar for being someone I want in my life#maybe other queers are fine with it. and that's there prerogative#personally? i have better people to spend my time with#also. no this is not vaguing about anyone. it's about a sentiment I've seen multiple times from multiple people#and every time I'm like. okay. am I supposed to feel better?#this is kind of an annoyed post sure don't hope it ends up being overanalyzed or taken out of context or anything

what do you think toshiro's version of laios would've been like if he was still with the group during the shapeshifter shenanigans
there have been a few speculations in the tag and among the fans and they are all very good SO i am going to take this opportunity to insert a bit of my shipping bias as i like in my interpretation LMAO agdsfgdfgv
i noted that in actuality shuro seems to have a very good grasp on laios' character??? this is most obvious in the manga later on but even seeing how he criticises laios in their fight... iirc nothing he says is actually untrue or wildly exaggerated, and while he does express frustration over something he feels like laios Should have control over (noticing his cues), he is also aware that laios isnt being malicious and that hes Just Like That. what i mean to say is that while i think his version of laios may seem more pushy and in-your-face, i dont think it will be overwhelmingly so. if its post-fight, i think the idea of laios (and marcille) being willing to do anything to get falin back made a big impression on him, as well as the idea that they need to eat and rest in order to succeed in their goals, so those aspects would be prominent in his version. he seems pretty observant, so i think for the most part the physical traits would line up, but i think there would be specific things that stand out to him that would appear strangely striking on his version of laios (like. idk something about his eye colour or the subtle contrast of his armour and chainmail. he seems to have a weird sense of aesthetics if extras are anything to go by lmao). if hed actually been paying attention all those times laios had gone on about what the hell ever, then it might be even MORE hard to tell apart his version since he would also have a good grasp on what laios should know. so either his version of laios is pretty difficult to pick out, OR despite the character being accurate his appearance is too. stylised lmao (exaggerated features or something) OR!! they just get him to pull out his monster gourmet guide thing and are able to tell from there. iirc everyone was surprised at its appearance so its possible toshiro had also never seen it before
IN MY IMAGINARY SHIPPING SCENARIO............ lets say that his laios isnt able to be picked out immediately and that the monster guide thing also doesnt immediately occur to anyone. what the real laios Specifically notices is how close this other laios keeps getting to shuro. and hes like. ??? why is he getting so close to him, theres no way i get that close to him??? but no one else seems to be picking up on it as weird, so hes having a small crisis like do i REALLY get that close to him???? and now that hes on the outside he notices shuro subtly leaning away and he feels both a wave of shame and..... protectiveness??? (JEALOUSY??????) and he immediately steps in and grabs him like Hey!!! cant you see hes uncomfortable???? weve been through this already!!! and like. ok i cant believe im doing this again but i need to separate this into different endings
a) the whump route: i dont think shuro ever envisioned Actually Telling laios about his frustrations outside of being basically cornered into it. has he ever spoken up against what was expected of him?? has he ever been confrontational???? i think part of what held him back from expressing his frustrations, along with the cultural norms, could be fear of what the reaction would be. if he had done the same in any other aspect of his life (his family, his inheritance), i think he would expect disappointment, disapproval, more proof that he doesnt add up to expectation. to be honest i dont think he Truly believes that laios is the type of person to react like this. but it was strong enough to prevent him from acting and i think would be projected onto his image of laios. maybe fake!laios says something dismissive like Well if it really bothered him hed say something right? what, he cant even stand up for himself? cmon, shuro, prove that you cant handle it just like everything else. and thats pretty much the fastest giveaway that it isnt really laios. of course this would be a HUGE tonal departure from what the actual episode/chapter was, so:
b) the dumbass route: both laioses break into fisticuffs, and, yes.... barking. and so they speedrun the entire encounter as the shapeshifters true form appears and, after laios points out that thinking too hard about others versions of you can tear apart groups and peace of mind, they pointedly do not speak of it again. they think about it though. a LOT
c) the normal route: both laioses argue normal like and the group ends up being able to tell them apart because the fake laios goes on a little too long about how theyre all here for falin and everyones like ok its not like he DOESNT love his sister but.......... the rest of the scenario probably goes like canon, though then i would want to see what everyone Else thought of shuro
#if it had been pre-fight i think shuro must have seen him as someone who wasnt serious enough or was too directionless#it would definitely have been easier to pick him out i think....#i realise that very little actual shipping made it into the scenario. but i hope you see the vision#anon#ask#laishuro tag#if shuro actually ended up having to judge them i cant tell you how accurate he would have been#i DO know that compared to laios he would have been watching their social interactions more carefully#maybe he notices certain habits. i dont know if he would get all of them right though. he definitely gets laios right#long post#huge fucking post even. im so sorry. i hope this answered your question#this is actually shorter than it originally was i took off a paragraph#and.. shorter again because i just revised the final route LMAO#its kinda important that laios is the one that judges so i fixed it. originally i was like well what if shuro judged#which u can kind of tell from the tags above lmao#ok i give up i cant edit this anymore here u go <3

I think applying tropes commonly found in Sonadow fics to other sonic ships is very funny
Like today I saw the cute posts by Blu-ish about how hedgehogs circle and headbutt eachother when courting and how Sonic and Shadow would do that and I agree.
However I think the implication that mobian hedgehogs do this is HILARIOUS when applied to ships that only involve one hedgehog.
Like Silver starts circling around Espio one day and lightly shoving him with his hip or his shoulder and Espio is like: ???? What are you doing??
Or even Blazamy like- Amy keeps circling Blaze and the less Blaze reciprocates Amy does it more to try to get Blaze to react. Blaze eventually just tries to politely tell Amy to stop cause it’s hard to hold conversation while she’s moving all around.
But later Blaze talks to Silver and is like: “I have no idea what she is trying to do…perhaps she is finding a weakness in my stance? Should I fear her hunting me for sport???”
And Silver is like: uh. Well. I think she’s hitting on you? It’s a hedgehog thing.
And Blaze just freaks out because WHAT DO YOU MEAN AMY WAS FLIRTING WITH HER
#silver would hold that over Blazes head for way too long#cause for the FIRST TIME HE KNEW SOMTHING SHE DIDNT HAHAHA#honetsly another Sonadow trope that I think would be interesting to see with other ships is the paw thing?#like yes some Sonadow fics are very strange about it I’ll admit#BUT#I really like the idea that the gloves are a culture thing it’s just very fun to think of how mobian culture would differ from human culture#like ofc I’m an espilver trigger so my brain goes there like#I love the headcannon that Espio reads romance novels#but I also feel like on Mobius a lot of romance tropes would be things usually done by mammals#since just like in real life I headcannon that mammals are commonly seen as cuter than reptiles even in Sonics world#so Espio gets a little self conscious about such things (cuz he’s a teenager and worries a lot)#he doenst ahve soft fur to cuddle or ears to flick or paw pads#but I feel like if he were to show silver his hands silver would not even care about such things#because silver just loves Espio cuz he’s Espio#looking back on my tags and noticing typos is so embarrassing lmao#like uh I meant to write espilver truther above….not trigger#Aw well whatever#silver the hedgehog#sth#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#espio the chameleon#amy rose#espilver#sonadow#blaze the cat#blazamy

SCOOBY-DOO! MYSTERY INCORPORATED - Families insp
+Bonus
#SDMI#Fred Jones#Daphne Blake#Velma Dinkley#Shaggy Rogers#Scooby Doo#Fred Jones Sr.#Nan Blake#Barry Blake#Angie Dinkley#Dale Dinkley#Paula Rogers#Colton Rogers#op of the linked post really got me thinking abt how interestingly all the families are introduced#from the way they’re framed in the pilot#Shaggy’s parents keep him at a distance their entire scene together and are never all fully seen in the same shot. they’re esp distant when#he’s eating#Daphne’s parents seem warm but also stilted. her casual conversation w/them is framed more like an interview with them positioned above her#Velma’s parents trap her in. their first action is to stifle/silence and then scold her. keeping her boxed in#and Fred’s dad stands behind for almost all the scene. it’s the most familial of the family intro scenes (makes sense since the mayor is the#most central of the parental figures & so is his relationship w/Fred. then also makes it ironic considering what we find out later)#he’s an overbearing presence in Fred’s life (standing directly behind him. trying to guide Fred where he wants him to go)#and all this is of course in contrast with the very first scene of the show#where it’s the gang all jumping around and goofing off with each other#while the interactions with the parents are stiff/stilted/distant/uncomfortable. the gang is completely at ease w/each other#able to just goof around and be kids#really let’s you in on what the real central family unit in SDMI is#Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated#gifs are all from beware the beast from below#scoobydooedit

out of curiosity, would you consider yourself butch?
used to be a blonde underweight twink and now I'm a based jock still got the chanel bag and the sick albeit matured mind of a suckpig to prove it so I'm gonna let you decide whether you wanna call me that word just cuz I got a pussy and short hair. I promise you that there have been enough advancements made in the art of lesbian sexual dynamics in the past 50 years to broaden the vocabulary used to describe the plethora of types of masculine females.
#being called butch just reminds me of how much males have the freedom to navigate between male archetypes and how people pay attention to#the distinguishing features of these varying masculinities#but when a female is seen as masculine it all gets lumped under the “butch” category#her masculinity is seen as unnatural and therefore incapable of being considered genuine or taken at face value as it is with males.#its always brought into question instead of taken in consideration with the rest of the woman's life and experiences and her particularities#Hence... Butch is still being treated as though its a huge lesbian cultural phenomena instead of a specific niche thing#also i dont mean to invite the “you dont pass!!” anons again bc that idiot is missing my point entirely (which is that im truly not trying)#but the fact is that for the past 3 years i have found myself increasingly navigating the male social world#and discovering what it means to me as a female to have access to the ability to take my “masculinity” for granted... relax#forget about it#etc#i think thats entirely antithetical to the Butch thing which seems to rest on the tension of other peoples expectations of her#people broadly are more surprised to find out that im interested in women just as much as they're surprised that im a gym queen iykwim...#ive worked hard for this and now that ive gotten the Woman Social Role thing pretty much entirely out of the way i am living the dream#i think a large part of that is learning as a dyke to appropriate the language of gay men theres a reason their terminology had#staying power even when their scene was *literally* dying meanwhile all that seemed to survive from dyke spaces was butch n femme ??#its because theirs didnt necessitate the building and maintenance of a scene in order for the subculture to hold its head above water#their labels *largely* weren't predicated on their relationships to gender roles and its telling that for dykes it was#their labels rested on the need to simply show up anonymous n be able to easily flag whether they were looking to fuck or be fucked#alongside the set of circumstances under which they would be fucking or getting fucked or what have you#it all comes back to the restrictions of female social blah blah blah and i think the sooner we collectively set down what we see as our#responsibility as lesbians and as feminists to Be A Woman the sooner we can step outside of that#n start thinking clearly about our individual circumstances and the necessity of putting on your own oxygen mask first before helping others

rolling stones paint it, black is jean moreau’s song hit post
#jean moreau#aftg#aftg fandom#aftg tsc#tsc#the sunshine court#i see a red door and i want it painted black? trojans colors and his unwillingness to accept them#no colors anymore i want them to turn black is obvious#i see the girls (and boys) walk by dressed in their summer clothes i have to turn my head until my darkness goes#is literally just him at the beach reacting to all them#i see a line of cars and they’re all painted black is ravens#with flowers and my love both never to come back is about kevin#i've seen people turn their heads and quickly look away he’s famous and scarred the fuck up#i look inside myself and see my heart is black self hatred and how he’s turned mean from being a raven#maybe then i'll fade away and not have to face the facts it's not easy facing up when your whole world is black#him just wanting to give up above all else whether it be going to the trojans or ravens

With all love in the world to fic writers, and this isn't a set criticism just a trend, being a British person and seeing what colloquialism people have Wyll use will absolutely take me out of a fic at points. Like this is difficult and I'm not gonna hold it against any writer who does this but I very much do notice it. I don't even have advice because so much of it is a weird feel thing of the type of age of the people who use certain slang.
Wyll talks with pretty archaic British slang. It's not too ancient. It's still like stuff you might hear an older guy say, but it gives a certain feel to him speech of it being kinda old fashioned.
But sometimes people either don't get this or, honestly more common in what I see because most of the fics I read are from people who do understand him, people who, fairly because they aren't from here so wouldn't know, use slang that feels a little too modern and it just reads like Astarion just called someone bro.
But I don't know how to explain that lad singular is a word he does use in canon and makes sense, but lads plural feels so fundamentally wrong.
#bg3#baldurs gate 3#wyll ravengard#wyll saying lads is like... is he gping to nandos?#is my buddy wyll gonna go get pissed with me at spoons?#are we gonna have a greggs after?#it goes from like this carefuky curated mask he has of sounding like a fairy tale hero#but one who isnt above the people#to like “oi wyll mate do you wanna pop out for a fag round the bins”#its so subtle though i get why this is an issue#you can uses lad in a modern context but its gonna be different from how he speaks#like “oh jonny boy is a real lad” would work but thats not wylls speaking style#its not just lads ive seen other examples of this too#and its funny to me every time#i would like to go get a nandos with wyll though#and a spoons. i wanna see him down a pitcher and then we can both get plaster and wind up at someones house 4 hours later#where we can both cry about our daddy issues and dead mothers#wyll would be anti cocktail but he would be pro spoons pitcher#its about the vibes of the drink to me

I'm fascinated with how movie-verse!Charles must have discovered and experimented with his abilities. I imagine he must have started off scared and nervous and then rapidly swung to being cocky and confident when he realises just how much control he has over everyone. He can make them do whatever he wants. He can make them like him, he can make them give him good marks in school when he didn't bother to try, he can make them be nice to Raven.
And then I wonder how long it took for this heady feeling to pass and for him to understand the humanity in each person and realise that he doesn't really want to control anyone after all.
And how easily it could have gone a different way.
#the whole idea of growing up as a telepath is just fascinating!#i should be clear I have no idea about the comics backstory - this is pure speculation based on the films#charles xavier is fascinating#like there must have been a point where he decided he wanted to be liked for who he genuinely is#or at least as much of his true self as he was prepared to show to everyone#where the cheap successes lose their shine#but it could so easily have been different#it could have gone to his head and changed him forever#so that he saw himself as above everyone else#separate from those he could influence and control#(kinda like my old boss - and he doesn't have telepathy as an excuse)#until he doesn't really see himself as part of the human race#what then if he met Erik?#Would he have led the charge?#would he have seen Erik as an equal or just a more powerful tool to manipulate#charles xavier#x men#x-men#x men movies#x men meta#charles xavier meta#headcannon
