Hi, coming to join in the conversation about IVs hands. I have-ahem- ✨slightly✨ more feral thoughts about them. I think they’d make lovely necklaces….or bracelets.

Yep.

Anyways….BYE

Rest assured, @polteergeistt left *maths* 17 more of those in my ask box, which I will be continuing to go thru, I just needed to break to work/pack 😂😂

HAVING SAID THAT with those 17 other asks, it will indeed get a little more feral up in here, and we will get into #thots-i-have territory!

But to YOUR point, he does have VERY nice hands that would make WONDERFUL jewelry of any kind, god it’s so true. They’re just so big and strong and…yeaaaaaah 🥰

If you’ve ever gone to a Mountain Goats show and waited in line outside for hours or gotten chummy with folks in the crowd, you know how deep the lore runs. It can make you feel small in the blink of an eye. Your undying love for “Cubs In Five” becomes instantly overshadowed by the guy with a tape recorder in his pocket who can recite setlists from 2004 gigs in states the Mountain Goats rarely make it out to anymore. But what’s beautiful about that scariness—even if you feel like your fandom is not enough—is that...there is such an undercurrent of love, affection and hope at every turn. At some point over the last 30 years, these people found Darnielle’s writing—be it via his boombox recordings or via the label-backed, concept-album concertos—and elected to devote a piece of themselves to loving these songs so much that, no matter what mix-and-matched setlist is thrown at them, they are ready to sing along with every note.

hey guys this tMG article is really fucking good and I think everyone should go read it

Oh also before I clock out of my monthly wind breaker posting Friendly Reminder!!! When imagining what Tsubakino's voice might be, remember that he canonically is suppost to have a VERY deep voice bc I'm 98% sure it's meant to contrast with how he looks

u can do anything with loop… we only know how they act in two extremely specific contexts, outside of that loop could be so many different things…. thats why my modern au loop is Like That (has “everyone else is an npc” brain bc it’s the only way they could cope with not being able to help the people getting hurt around them. it’s just their role in the story, it’s impossible to change the script and it doesn’t matter anyway bc they’re not real! loop and their headmates are the only real people with real thoughts and feelings in the entire world ^^)

ok. i see u complaining about how long it takes to get to shb, how are you supposed to get your friends into the fucking WONDER that is shb when they have to get through all of The Other Stuff First

I used to have this problem with Homestuck, people who wanted to skip to the trolls, or pass on the intermissions. I will repeat what I said then now:

The later stuff is mind-blowingly good BECAUSE of the setup slog. which is also fun btw, you’re having trouble selling it because you keep saying it’s a slog. it’s good storytelling! yes even arr and sb (i didn’t say it was the best storytelling!! but i’ve seen way fuckin worse!!!). You need to spend 300 hours with the characters and to watch them grow gradually for a LOT of the little character moments to even register later on, and i’m not even talking about the ascian reveals. estinien is a completely different character. thancred’s deep-seated issues have been brewing subtly since 1.0. the socio-economic political climate of the universe is SO important and SO well set up by the arr random task/fetch quests (BABY INCONSEQUENTIAL QUESTS. YEAH THE STUPID ONES IN THE INTRO PRE-SASTASHA SEQUENCES WITH THE NPCS YOU DONT REMEMBER. THOSE.) and that info is integral to character decisions made in every expansion afterwords, and is built upon consistently. the consistent build-up of the lore is, in my opinion, almost entirely the reason ffxiv’s writing stands out against other games of the genre. and it’s BOLSTERED by the fact that it’s a live service game with a shit ton of expansions you HAVE to play through single file when you start fresh. narrative games are usually 15-20 hours. ffxiv is giving you 500+ in msq alone (won’t get into how much the optional and side quests support the storytelling as well).

It’s like one of those long-running book series. you can’t ask someone to read Just the last book of animorphs and expect them to understand the narrative implications of what’s happening, or to get attached to the characters enough to care. that attachment and understanding is built by spending time and reading the other 1500 books prior. shb should not be treated as a stand-alone. in fact it’d be a bad standalone. it’s good BECAUSE there’s 500+ hours of playtime required to get there.

I personally think that, Mitsuri was always meant to be somewhat conventionally/stereotypically attractive, except that she still isn't conventional enough by the settings standards.

I'm just basing this from my own personal experience, but from where I'm from, reputation matters, and that includes your outer appearance. It's definitely a lot looser now, but there are still times where some people have specific expectations for women. Sometimes it's not enough to be girly and feminine, you have to be a specific kind of feminine. Sometimes It's also not enough to be conventionally pretty. It definitely helps, but if people notice something odd about you, they will gossip about it.

Having natural black hair is also still a thing. Some people were very judgemental when I dyed my hair pink/red. I was also forbidden in certain gatherings bc some of them have a random policy against hair color, so much that I had no choice but to wear a black wig. Some universities also forbid dying hair in bright colors. A lot of the reasons for this is that it just looks bad to them, and it looks "cheap". It ruins their pristine, uniform image.

I think that’s why Mitsuri’s design is built around her hair. I guess some asian cultures still see brightly dyed hair as some sign of rebellion and non conformity. While my experience isn't as bad, I can only imagine that it must be a lot worst for Mitsuri. Maybe she's only slightly weird by today's standards, but she's a woman living in Taisho Era, so I believe the expectations for her might have been stricter.

That's why I think that in a way, Mitsuri being stereotypically attractive works. I think It shows that the expectations for women are just that specific and narrow, that even though she's already very feminine and checks off a lot of the list, it's still not enough. People think that, her appetite, strength and her hair already stand out too much. By their standards, She's already too weird.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the phrase "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

It also makes sense why she would join the corps. Aside from her wonderful family, she must have felt so stifled by her environment. She must have felt that no matter how hard she tries, she will be forced to hide every little thing that makes her unique. But in the corps, they are fellow misfits not as bound by norms and conventions, so she joins them, because they can appreciate her just as she is.

Usopp obtaining Conqueror's haki makes so much sense to me and I genuinely think he deserves it on Elbaf please please please

We never really got to see them hang out one on one during the events of Camp Cretaceous (except once, and they were competing to see who’s lack of a childhood gave them the better skill set so) Idk, we only get a snippet of their dynamic in Chaos Theory, I just think their friendship (especially as adults) would be pretty interesting :3

(Yes, some of these are headcanons ^^)

(Look, you don’t just sprain/break your ankle on concrete and not have lasting consequences without the proper treatment. Yaz was running on that foot on the daily !! And you can see it still affected her all the way through Season 3 !!! So, yeah, Hits her with the chronic pain beam)

( ‼️Also Major Chaos Theory Spoilers ‼️)
