"Oh!"

I made 3 reversible drawstring gift bags! They're all lined with the pink floral; the one with the floral on the outside has the text message print on the other side. I have a bad fabric purchasing habit, and I'm trying to get better about using what I have (I say after buying a ton of clearance fabric over the weekend). The tea party and text message prints were a gift from a friend a decade ago that were never quite right for using in my quilts so I decided to use them up. I also used up all but a small strip of the pink floral, which I bought 7 years ago but have barely used because it is thin and I don't want it to deteriorate in a quilt.

I think next year I want to use more fabric than I buy. Sounds easy, but I love fabric... We'll see. I'll keep track though, it'll be fun if I can do it!

Good God I am loosing it.

(A performance of Randy Scouse Git on the 17th of November, 2012 in Cleveland Ohio (X) | The Randy Scouse Git video back when the song was made.)

That 2012 live performance really makes me feel, like, all of the emotions. And it's so good too. I was reading an article that mentioned this performance and linked some photo gallerys that didn't work anymore, and I was about to start crying until I found this recording. Everyone say thank you to random live performance recorders on youtube!!

But yeah anyway I'm so normal about tablecloth poncho I promise. (The words of a liar.)

was absolutely stopped in my tracks and BLOWN away yesterday at work when a coworker called me pure; I literally haven't been called that in over a decade and there's always been something about it that rubs me the wrong way

busts down the door. back on my honkai-star-rail-posting because hi hello I was reading through Jiaoqiu's character stories and ???

what the heck. what the heck. heart: broken. tears: shed.

themes of hot and cold! Jiaoqiu developed his nine-square cauldron technique, specifically noting its "convenience and effectiveness in dispelling the cold that ails one's constitution," with the intent of helping those on the battlefield. But after watching those he managed to save return to fight, to get hurt and die despite what he had done to save them- when Lan intervened only after so much blood had already been shed, when he ran onto the field to save Feixiao? After he wakes back up THIS is what he says. what the fuck. he began with such optimism and good intent and wanting to help others weather the cold of the battlefield only to succumb to the chill and hopelessness himself. what the hell

3. I'm not going to attempt any sort of proper analysis on this at the moment because I am tired and Feixiao hasn't released yet but I am VERY curious to get her side of the story of. hiring Jiaoqiu/him coming out of retirement for her because. hello??

This dialogue is between Jiaoqiu and his former master. Sir what do you MEAN you "want this general to heal Jiaoqiu's despondent heart." what do you MEAN she will show him what the true purpose of a healer is. rattling the bars of my cage I need Feixiao's character stories to be out yesterday so I can cross-examine this. I need someone more eloquent than me to analyze this. I need to go to sleep so I can wake up refreshed and analyze it myself.

In summary every new piece of information I learn about either Jiaoqiu or Feixiao or their dynamic with each other makes me even more insane. thank you and goodnight

I have a feeling that you secretly hate this show and all the writing choices . I just do .

I mean, without this show we wouldn't have the fandom, ergo I wouldn't be able to mess around with the characters and put them in situations, so... no?

My opinions on the show are untraceable and entirely irrelevant, and I tend to agree on a take-to-take basis with people on all sides of the fandom. Were there some things that could've been done differently? Yes of course. But Miraculous is what it is and if it were something Emmy-worthy, I don't know if I'd be so enthralled with it as I am.

Think of it like this:

Most people in the fandom play with the ideas in mlb like Barbie dolls. You dress them up, take them through soap opera plots and (as the wonderful asukiess so eloquently put it) cocomelon tragedies where they're all screaming and crying and kissing and you have a grand old time with it.

What I have been doing, over here in my own little world divorced from reason and sense, is chewing on all of the Barbie dolls' hands, cramming their heads in jars of finger paint, and scribbling on the walls. (And occasionally, just occasionally... my unpredictable scribblings will form a coherent word or thought that might even be approaching something profound about... the human condition or struggles with self-actualization or whatnot. But it's not a guarantee.)

Can you say the latter really... 'hates' the dolls? Hates the way they were made? No. To hate the dolls is to refuse to engage with them altogether, or to make YouTube Essays treating the Barbie dolls like real people with real culpability for their actions and calling them Mary Sues. That's not what I'm doing, not by a long shot.

It's also worth mentioning that a lot of what I do would be lost without the context of the show itself and its decisions.

- Kuro Neko was the catalyst in why I started writing TWEOS, and a lot of the impact of how characters act in that is because you need the prior context of both the show and the fandom to back it up.

- Adrien Agreste as Byronic Hero has much less weight to it unless you're used to seeing a version of him that is so clearly not that. The lovesquare in that fic absolutely falling apart by every conceivable metric—down to things as minuscule as Marinette the baker's daughter pursuing Adrien who secretly hates the taste of sweets—feels like less of a betrayal if you haven't seen the way they are supposed to be.

- Adrien and Marinette being presented as a cruel inevitability of a universe that does not care what they have to say in the matter... in because in 37,847 universes and counting, they will be together. In canon, they must be together.

tl;dr Maybe I'm dodging the question, and maybe my actions in changing so much about how the characters act/the world works in my fic speaks louder than my words... But I can't bring myself to hate this show. Percussive maintenance is still maintenance.

Okay... I could swear that Bowser in this moment says "Koredemo, shinu rai ka?" in response to Luigi's insistence that he doesn't know anything ("Shiranai desu" was easy enough to understand.)

I believe "koredemo" is an expression that means "even though things appear this way"/"in spite of this."

"Shinu" means "die." "Rai," apparently, is a very versatile word. As a noun it means "lightning" or "thunder," but in this context it more likely indicates something fast approaching.

Then the sentence ends with a "ka," making it a question.

Is... is Bowser asking Luigi if he should go ahead and kill him despite the fact that he allegedly "doesn't know anything"???

If anybody's the praying sort tell god to remind the insurance people they should be at least mildly concerned.

Deku and Kacchan vs. All Might – Kacchan vs. TomurAFO

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

The last and most obvious parallel to that fight: Katsuki is remembering Izuku's words and acting accordingly.

I figure most people expected Katsuki's words to lead Izuku to self-endangerment, not the other way around.

As a big sibling with a lil sib with epilepsy, when they read TBC they Honestly thought if they got struck with lightning reciting the lord's prayer they'd be cured like Shadowsight is from their epilepsy. I had a discussion with them on how that's not how it works, but ge was so upset they took it away from Shadowsight that he hasn't picked the books back up and has stated that 'he hopes Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.,'

I do not even know how to respond to this besides saying that your little sibling is 100% right to be pissed and I now also hope Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.

I know what you want, more than anything else in the world.

You have a pretty good brain, for a cow. It's quick, and it's full of interesting things, but sometimes, it works just a little too hard, and convinces you of things you don't really want... And, sometimes, it tells you that you need to be skinnier. Which is a bit of a problem- because, you really like being big. You've always been a heavy girl, and now that you're embracing it a little, you feel happy, and fulfilled in two ways... But...

What you really want, is someone who can quiet your brain down for a little bit. When you start thinking too many cow-thoughts, and you start running your mouth, you need someone to quiet you down, and fill you up to the absolute brim with something sweet and rich. You want someone to put you in that slow, happy haze you get, when you've stuffed yourself so fat that you can't move anymore. You want to be reminded how much being fat and heavy makes you happy- you want to be rewarded, like a good cow, with belly rubs, and thigh squeezes. You want strong hands framing your soft, supple, plush belly. You want your belly to be under a lot of pressure, and your head to be totally empty.

You need to get knocked up as soon as possible. Eating for three will be the most rewarding thing you ever do. Being always swollen, with the perfect excuse to eat as much as you like- furthermore, having a master who dotes on you, and your womb, hidden under that thick layer of fat, all while your brain quiets down from your mommy-brain... You were never supposed to be skinny. You were made to be the plumpest, sweetest little cow, and you want to be reminded, every moment of every day.

this fucking ask. wtf. i can’t read the whole thing without having to look away at least once it’s so much and just. 🫣 🥰🥰🥰 first off. how did you know i’ve been thinking abt slowing the gain. second—everything you said is right 😭
