#because then I had to use chainsaw as a bird name

[gayboss-too-close-to-the-sun]

It is time for me to talk about my turkeys, because I love them.

A couple of years ago my mom ordered fifteen heritage chicks in the mail, I was horrifically depressed and as we put them into their crate I held each one and bawled my eyes out over the little fluffs. One died within the first day or so (fairly typical) but the other fourteen did great. I named them after the members of Seventeen (yes, the kpop group) and because they were mixed breeds I could tell them all apart - although I had a bit of trouble with Woozi and Woozi Jr (they were both mostly midget white, so they looked identical apart from slight size differences. Woozi Jr is not a member of Seventeen, but I needed an extra name). One of the turkeys (The8) lost his wing when one of our dogs got a hold of it through the pen they were in, but he lived and recovered. I spent hours holding and playing with my turkeys, and when we moved them to the field they would follow me around whenever I was outside. Between selling most of them and losing a few to owls, we only ended up with Vernon and Wonwoo for thanksgiving (we bought them as meat birds, sad but natural), but thankfully I got to come home from uni early enough to say goodbye and cuddle them one last time.

This year we had a friend incubate a dozen eggs from a heritage turkey farm. Between a few not hatching and a few dying from “oops I rolled onto my back and couldn’t get up and even when the people help me get back up I’ll just do it again until I decease” syndrome, we ended up with six healthy chicks. Their names were Famine, War, Death, Pestilence, Pollution, and Corruption. PP&C are living with our friend as a breeding trio (pretty sure the tom is Pestilence, even though it was hard to tell them apart as babies - Pestilence was an absolute pain and very precocious). Famine got injured a week or two ago and had to get butchered, which was very sad, but we ate him for thanksgiving, and Mr Death is a big fluffy cuddlebug, since I socialized this set almost as much as the last. War is doing well, too, but she had some sort of growth defect and is more the size of a chicken than a turkey. Also when I pick her up she screams and screams, despite being too tame to know that running from me is an option. She’s a goofy lil thing.

although baby turkeys are precocial and leave the nest almost immediately after hatching, they still rely on their mother’s protection. turkey hens are fiercely protective of their young, and will fight predators such as raccoons and hawks to keep them out of harm’s way.

The Raven Cycle Arcane AU

Combining the two things I love and imagining what would happen if the trc characters existed in Piltover/Zaun.

SPOILERS FOR ARCANE SEASON 2 AND THE RAVEN CYCLE / DREAMER TRILOGY

1. Ronan and Jinx would be best friends. She’d tell him about how she murdered her whole family, he’d say something like “damn, that’s hardcore.” Then him, Jinx, and Ekko would all blow up the hexgates together to save the tree or something. Also, Ronan probably dreamt Ekko’s tree.

2. Adam would be a Zaunite living in Piltover just like Viktor, but they would be rivals. Cue the “there can only be one of us at the top” societal commentary.

3. Blue Sargent would be demanding the council to do shit to help the impoverished and sick populations of Zaun. All the topsiders would be side eyeing all her wacky outfits but she don’t give a fuck.

4. Blue would 100% be helping Ekko run his refugee community.

5. Gansey would be a councilor although he’d hate his job. Gansey brings Adam in initially as an assistant, similar in how Mel has Elora, but then he would have heard how Jayce calls Viktor his partner and insists on calling Adam his partner. Adam is so fed up with Gansey because dude is like um you know all the other councilors are manipulating you, right? And Gansey would say something like oh? Are they? How unfortunate.

6. Declan Lynch would absolutely FOLD for Mel Medarda. A beautiful, powerful black woman who can paint? Yeah he’s a goner. Also Declan/Mel/Jayce/Viktor polycule.

7. Jayce and Gansey would stare at each other awkwardly and with confusion. Sorta like looking in a funhouse mirror. Wait. Am I the golden boy or are you the golden boy?

8. Jayce, Gansey, and Henry Cheng make up the most ridiculous friend group you’ve ever seen. The Academy Boys or some shit. Henry finally gets to live out his dream of being close to Gansey. Adam and Viktor are additions to the friend group later, and Henry happily enjoys the drama that ensues.

9. Ronan would absolutely be getting drunk and crashing out along with Vi and going through a pit fighter era because Adam went to live in Piltover to work in politics.

10. Vi is the big sister Ronan never had. Declan is jealous of their dynamic.

11. Ronan and Opal would be the cutest editions to the Sevika, Jinx, Isha found family. ISHA AND OPAL SISTERS. ISHA AND OPAL SISTERS.

12. How Ronan and Jinx meet probably:

Ronan: Get that pistol away from my bird.

Jinx: What do you care? It’s just a stupid crow.

Ronan: It’s a raven, fuckface. Her name is Chainsaw.

13. Sevika, at some point: It’s not enough I got deal with Jinx by herself. Now I gotta deal with the fucking chaos twins and their pipsqueaks.

14. Gansey would probably develop an interest in Zaun, but soon discover the horrors that exist down there and meet Blue. Similar to how Heimerdinger does and meets Ekko.

15. Gansey: So you fell in love with a mage?

Jayce: Yeah. And you fell in love with a witch?

Gansey: Apparently. She acts as a magical mirror.

Jayce: Huh, that’s weird. My girlfriend is a magical mirror too.

Gansey: Really?

Jayce: Yeah.

*more confused funhouse mirror staring*

Jayce: Well… my girlfriend used her powers to save my life in an explosion.

Gansey: Oh okay. Mine is destined to kill me with a kiss.

Jayce: Oh, well that’s totally different.

16. In the end, Gansey would give up his seat on the council to Henry Cheng. Henry and Sevika are the only people on the council getting shit done.

17. When Viktor is taking over the world with his glorious evolution, he takes Adam and Jayce’s souls. Ekko and Ronan work together so Ronan can save Adam. When Viktor touches Ronan to evolve his soul, he appears as a giant eldritch horror in the astral plane. Him and Viktor have big boss god battle in the cosmos. The jayvik and pynch soul merging scenes happen separately in the astral plane.

Hello. You made it to the bottom. Here are fun factz.

◘ · · ─ I have aphantasia (I cannot see things in my brain, what people call "an imagination") (Yes, it makes art difficult) (No, i cannot imagine books/written media when i read them) (No, i cannot see my dreams. Dreams do affect my other senses though) ◘ · · ─ I have 7 piercings and 2 tattoos. I had 8 piercings, until my 1-year-old, completely healed nostril piercing closed on a random Tuesday afternoon. So technically the one in my intro art is a Lie. I mourn the loss of her every day. ◘ · · ─ I really love the word 'Soup'. ◘ · · ─ My favourite animal (and favourite isopod) are Giant Isopods. Specifically Bathynomus Giganteus. My second favourite is Ukrainian Skycutter pigeons. ◘ · · ─ Ive owned two budgies before, Lance and Rin. Theyve both passed now, but my second ever special interest was birds, and i still hold occasional hyperfixes on them ^_^ So, I am planning to adopt/rescue a pigeon! ◘ · · ─ If youre wondering, my first ever special interest was Minecraft. Again, it still possesses me every so often. I am also very good at BedWars because of it. Ive been playing it since Version 1.2 (Not to be confused with 1.20). ◘ · · ─ I have an uncanny ability to pitch & tone-match. As long as it is within my vocal range, i can imitate it to the degree it sounds like a recording. Thank you autism, very cool

[runonthewater]

A long haul day today, from Williams Lake to Dawson Creek, about 400 miles of driving. I stayed last night outside the Scout Island Nature Centre, a marshy nature reserve at one end of the titular Williams Lake, pulling up around 8PM. A sign said "No overnight parking in the reserve," making me nervous, so I left the van parked outside the gates and went to walk along the marsh, figuring that if someone came to kick me off the property in the next hour, I'd at least have gotten a walk in. I was rewarded with the sight of two pelicans -- I think -- nesting down for the night on the marsh, and the sounds of waterfowl quacking at each other as the sun set. My pictures aren't very good, but the hills behind the lake were mirrored in the water as I walked back to the van. (Plus I met a cute dog.)

Another driver, a German named Linnea, had parked beside me by the time I got back and looked like she was settling in. We chatted a little before I set up the Starlink and got situated for bed. A little while later someone did indeed come to lock the gate to the reserve, without giving us a second glance. Despite a plethora of midges gathering around the dome light over my bed, I fell asleep fast.

I woke up early as the sun started to come in, and finally gave up on tryiyng to stay asleep around 6:30. I knew I needed to get on the road in any case, so after making coffee I popped the hood of the van to go check the oil. Outside, I saw a few crows and an immature gull standing around next to the car beside me and thought I'd get a picture called "morning stand-up," so I grabbed my phone, stepped out the side door, and came face to face with a doe some twenty feet across the road.

We stared at each other. I was probably more shocked than she was. A moment later I realized there were two more sets of satellite-dish ears in the grass behind her: two fauns. I took pictures and video -- though the birds left as soon as I started moving around -- and after another fifteen minutes or so got going, a bit after 7AM.

A long driving day like this ends up feeling like several days in a row, especially on a third day of driving. My posture is starting to go to shit; I can feel my head turtling forward, hunching my back, whenever I stop paying attention, and my lower back always feels a bit like it needs to crack. I stopped several times over the day, usually in a place where I dowsed with my phone for a strong wifi signal: a Tim Hortons in Quesnel (after I found that I was there too early for the visitor's centre to be open), the Prince George public lilbrary, the Chetwynd visitor's centre. (British Columbia's vistor centres are generally good places to stop for wifi, and a lot of them seem to be fine with RVs staying overnight.)

I tried to stop for pictures of mountains more, too, feeling like I'd slacked off the day before. My sister and mother always have dozens of photos of interesting sights when they travel, even when they're road tripping -- but of course, they generally have a second driver. Still, they have a gift for finding interesting things and then documenting them that I have to make a conscious effort to imitate. I did get a bunch of pictures of Chetwynd's chainsaw carvings, at least.

The multi-day feeling is probably also influenced by my powering through stories as I drive. I finished one book in the morning (Anna-Marie McLemore's Self-Made Boys, a Latine and queer "remix" of The Great Gatsby that I enjoyed, even if I wished Daisy was allowed to stay horrible to the end). I switched to Broadway for a bit (first Water for Elephants, a new listen for me, then Hadestown, because I'm determined to learn Orpheus' track). Then back to books with Lolita (which I've never read and figured I really should; turns out it's an excellent horror novel, whodathunk). Living through days and weeks and lifetimes in my head surely messes with my ability to know when I am.

And the whole reason I'm doing this, really, the reason I like road trips in the first place, is that I like to spend time unstuck. In my senior year of high school I wrote an overwrought essay for a scholarship about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and how I could know how fast I was going or where I was, but not both at the same time. I did not get the scholarship. But I think I was grasping at articulating a feeling that I now usually just call "the act of travel." My best friend Elisa likes going to places: she goes to countries or cities and sees museums, goes shopping. Even in Seattle she prefers to go for a walk to an activity, to get a coffee and pastry or browse a vintage store. I, on the other hand, go on rambles that stop nowhere, or bike rides that loop Lake Union. I just want to be moving. I'm trying to spend more time allowing myself to be bored when I'm moving, on the grounds that I think it promotes creativity, but I also like to move let a story fill up my head. Slosh around in there, soak into the grain.

Tomorrow starts the actual, official Alaska Highway. Mile 0. I expect to get to Fort Nelson -- a storied place for our family -- but I'll be stocking up on a few things before I leave Dawson Creek. And I'll get some tourist pictures. The act of travel may be the point, but a few mementos of stopping don't go to waste.

[child0feden]

Hey, you seem like you’re into horror. Do you have a favourite horror movie, any suggestions on what to watch? Hope you’re having a great day!

Ps. Love the last hc about camping, Nocturno really deserves more love in this community :))

-🐀

୨୧ hey there, my sweet little rat anon! i’m having a very decent day and i hope you are too, if not then i send many hugs and kisses

indeed, i am very much into horror lolol! been into it just about as long as i have been extreme metal music, just a little earlier… oh what an amazing question to ask during the spookiest month of the year and so close to halloween! trying to get some scary movies figured out for the rest of the month? nothing feels better than watching a horror during halloween… it would simply be too hard for me to pick a singular favourite but i can name a couple off the top of my head for you

some of these kind of teeter on the edge of thriller more than horror but some favourites would be ;

house of wax, 2005 ( perhaps this will be a hot take but as someone who owns both the original movie and the remake, i actually preferred the remake! i think it was just so different and creative in the best way possible, it was not just a lazy cash grab remake of an old film, they really put their own spin on it and changed things up for what i think was the better! the set design for this movie is absolutely gorgeous and i believe the short documentary or behind the scenes footage is available to watch for free on youtube but i have it on dvd myself! paris hilton is in this movie and surprisingly does a decent job at acting her role, she did very well and fit her assigned character )

house of 1000 corpses, 2003 ( listen, i do not think this is the best horror movie in the world and i would never claim it to be that but it just has a very special place in my heart because it hits points of everything i enjoy in a movie! the acting, in my own opinion, is very good, the plot is so strange but not too much of a complete mind fuck to where it is just not enjoyable to watch anymore, it has some comedy that works well and is not just randomly thrown in there and ohhh the soundtrack, my beloved soundtrack! just a killer halloween movie, especially since it actually takes place during halloween )

black christmas, 1974 ( there really is not much i can say about this one without rambling for hours! just a classic, must watch horror! it’s an annual christmas and halloween movie for me! it used to keep me up some nights when staying at my grandparents house due to the type of house they had being similar to the house in the movie unlike my own )

the crow, 1994 ( another general classic movie that to me, is a must watch for the dark and gothic romantics out there! such a beautiful movie with and even better soundtrack for those who enjoy industrial metal and all )

rec, 2007 ( so damn freaky, knocks the blair witch project out of the water when it comes to found footage horror films! the screaming and yelling all just sounds so genuine and loud, the acting from the main cast is just so incredible in my opinion )

the descent, 2005 ( as someone who loves horror movies that slowly turn into so much more than they seem on the surface… wowee did this one catch me so off guard! the feelings of claustrophobia this film fills you with, the feelings of panic and tension is just amazing )

the dark crystal, 1982 ( i class this as a horror because the strange vulture creatures scared the living shit out of me when i first watched it as a child and i always watch this movie during october but now, i see how truly gorgeous this movie is despite still being a little disturbing to me at times )

the texas chainsaw massacre, 1974

elvira: mistress of the dark, 1988

the satanic rites of dracula, 1973

the evil dead, 1981

the birds, 1963

psycho, 1960

carrie, 1976

and some that are not quite favourites but i still think are definitely worth mentioning as recommendations ;

silent hill, 2006 ( i have my issues with this movie and i absolutely hate how the snow not ash lore plagued the community for so long and still does but i would be lying if i said i did not find it to be an enjoyable movie! i do absolutely love the atmosphere and the costume design, not to mention that the plot is not all that bad at all! definitely worth a watch, especially if you would like to get into silent hill but maybe do not enjoy playing games and simply prefer movies )

the texas chainsaw massacre 2, 1986 ( obviously nowhere near as spooky and scary and grisly as the first, classic movie but that is the whole point! the tonal shift is just amazing in my opinion and the comedy is just so… so obviously eighties in the best ways possible! a must watch comedy horror for me, so goofy and weird yet so lovable )

elephant, 2003 ( not so much a horror at all, more a thriller but i will mention this movie whenever i can because it is just so eery and so incredibly disturbing despite not being a horror, despite not having creatures that look like they come from the deepest pits of hell, despite the only cast and characters being our own human selves )

tokyo gore police, 2008 ( another less than perfect movie but to me, it is just such a joy to watch with all of the weirdness and wackiness it holds )

creepshow, 1982, creepshow 2, 1987

the lovely bones, 2009

bride of chucky, 1998

murder weapon, 1989

the collector, 2009

the lost boys, 1987

laid to rest, 2009

cat people, 1942

may, 2002

again, these are just quick and off the top of my head so i am definitely missing a few notable ones, does not help that i’m a little sleepy at the minute but hopefully these are some decent enough recommendations for you! have fun watching ^w^

and thank you very much! super glad to hear how many people really liked them when i was so worried about them not being the best hehe…

yeahhh, he absolutely does! he was and still is a total cutie, so so so handsome and so obviously a complete sweetheart! though to be honest, i feel like there are just so many under-appreciated and under-loved people in the black metal scene! there are so many people who deserve so much love and appreciate, much more than they get…

thanks again for this ask, rat anon! you guys don’t know how happy it makes me to answer any and all of your questions <3

[firebuug]

indirectly not really tagged by(stolen from) @scp-168 because i'm cracyyyy (want to type and ramble)

3 ships:

damian already went off about abc but i need more abel and hokma. you guys talk about old man yaoi but WHEREEEE is the old man x old man yaoi. your coworker aged you 40 years and then he remanifests in his office as a manifestation of his flaws and his trauma and he's old as balls too. tell me you arent all over his ass. also can we have a old woman yuri carmen.

literally all of the ships i've been going crazy over have literally just been oc ships but also i need everyone to know that even if i don't play it anymore gregor x rodya will forever be the bisexual fail ship of all time. they both get no pussy. they beat each other up daily. gregor is used as a headrest and is also boob height. what's more to love? but also gregor and meursault? there's no chemistry here whatsoever other than they were both done dirty by their society and also have a ridiculous height difference. i feel like gregor talks and says shit and meursault takes it too seriosuly or doesnt get it and they both sit in silence for the next 30 mins. i hate them

none of this matters (holds up my oc polycule that consists of a giant centipede a wriggling neurotic mass of wires a giant bird dinosaur beast and the occasional cockroach that needs some love and forces you to like them) (holds up my queerplatonic autistic distortion sex explosion that commits The Pianist 2 and kills thousands and forces you to like them) (holds up my giant centipede kissing the bug from limbus company and forces you to like them) (holds up my bisexual telephone who hates men but wishes the living cymbal piano man and knight butch would kiss her so bad)

First ever ship: ugh i wish i knew, i'm pretty sure it has had to be an oc ship of some kind, but that probably doesn't count since that's just playing with dolls, so my money is on some stupid hetalia shit (i refuse to actually speak the name of the ship but like. it was one of the most popular mlm ships in the fandom so fuckin. guess). although the first ship i actually started making content and reading fic for instead of just looking at pictures of (i have no idea if hetalia came before this or not) is skarso from tos sob

Last song: im currenlty listening to music lel...im listening to Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia by of Montreal one of the songs of all time nglll

Last Movie: Probably a movie i watched at my schools entertainment club, which was..across the spiderverse (it was really good but the ending was kinda disappointing)

Currently reading: I need to start reading again but I keep getting distracted by art and the Evil Devices, but I'm working on continuing Villain VS Villain by Rosalind B. Sterling and recently bought Chainsaw Man Buddy Stories and the first book of part 1 that i'm waiting to get brainrot again to read

Currently watching: i need to finish catching up on major adventure time episodes so i can watch fionna and cake and not be confused. also want to finish steven universe sometime...also need to finish watching madoka w my friends....

Currently consuming: also wateh

Currently craving: watermelon (we only have it when im not craving it like a dehydrated man in the desert)

[libraryfag]

feel free to pick & choose if this is too many, but merrily (as well), trc, and hamlet for the ask game!!

holy trinity of media that makes me insane about tragedy!

Merrily:

Favorite character: a tie between Charly and Mary.... i literally cannot chose between them Second favorite character: Frank, to complete the trio, he's such an asshole but i do love him

Least favorite character: Not a proper answer because I really don't have a least favorite character but gussie was honestly done a little bit dirty by the show.i understand that it's a very easy way of showing how the friendship collapsed overtime but the show makes it seem like it was all gussies fault and i feel so bad for her because it wasn't as if she was deliberately doing it it just sorta happened but whatever.

The character I’m most like: hm. i think maybe Act Two Frank specifically just bc im so so in love with theatre. merrily is so so special to me bc it really captures that magic. not a character but i really really relate to Opening Doors bc thats just what writing a show is like or making any art reallly.

Favorite pairing: Frank/Charly/Mary not just platonic not romantic not sexual but a secret fourth thing (including all the above) they loved each other so much!

Least favorite pairing: theo I totally agree with everything you said about frank and meg. i cant think of anyone else i could say so i might as welll copy your answer

Favorite moment: Opening Doors which has grown on me since i heard that Sondheim said it was his only autobiographic song. as well as the previously discussed reliability of it, it's such an earworm, like ive had it stuck in my head basically alll year its crazy. Also it shows how close they were together which makes it incredibly heartbreaking also

Rating out of 10: 9/10. its one of my favourite musicals ever! obligatory point reduction for whatever was wrong with the original production (Hal Prince wtf were you doing casting children??)

The Raven Cycle

Favorite character: Ronan Lynch <3 Second favorite character: oh god. im just going to say chainsaw bc i love her so much and i don't want to single out any of the other protagonists bc then i feel bad.

Least favorite character: Maggie Steifvater is such a great author I cannot name a single character I'm not 100% invested in, even ones that would be so easy to get bored by, like Mr Gray or Greenmantle I need to learn everything about them ever.

The character I’m most like: gansey tbh. to the point where i try not to think about it

Favorite pairing: all of the guys (aka blue, gansey, adam, ronan, noah and maybe henry, i don't know him so well yet). basically the same as my merrily answer, labels don't really matter: what matters is they all love each other so so much its insaneeeeeee. im also a big sucker for whatever ronan and adam have going on

Least favorite pairing: tbh i wasn't so invested in maura and the gray man at first.

Favorite moment: i love it when ronan is protective of chainsaw.. he loves that bird so much

Rating out of 10: 11/10 aka so good its literally having a detrimental impact on my school results and mental health/sleep :)

Hamlet

Favorite character: Hamlet Thee Dane. truly the character of all time

Second favorite character: i think about ophelia every single day

Least favorite character: depends on the production tbh. like i used to not care about laertes and polonius, but i became obsessed with the former either last year or the year before, and the version i read this year (Nicki Greenberg's graphic novel which i would recommend) had a really engaging interpretation of the latter which was so good i got sad when he died.

The character I’m most like: hamlet is literally me btw.

Favorite pairing: tragic danish boyfriends is a classic and brilliant but hamlet and laertes also upsets me so so much. like they are literally perfect foils

Least favorite pairing: ugh. gertrude and hamlet sexually. freud suck my dick

Favorite moment: yes ive seen/read it 5 times now. no, i've never not been emotionally destroyed by the ending

Rating out of 10: 10/10. one of the best pieces of fiction ever. which is a totally subjective statement but also im right.

HI AGAIN THE NEW CHAPTER!!!!! 123!!!! CHAINSAW MAN. AUGH!H!!!!

Spoilers, rambling & analysis under the cut!!! Warnings for canon typical violence/death/unpleasant situations.

OK SO. 

I was wrong about this lady being the death devil!! 

 (I will probably be wrong about a lot of things lol, I just like to organize my thoughts. Might start making these posts w every chapter, idk!)

The falling devil!!! That makes a lot of sense!!! People falling to their death. I think her powers would tie into a fear of heights as well. But as I have seen some other people point out it also seems to tie into falling into depression or love, or really any vulnerable state. Which is pretty important considering Asa’s tendency to fall in critical moments. She in particular would probably be more afraid of this devil, which makes this confrontation very. difficult.

I LOVE her design. She seems so polite (aside from the murders and the whole being very evil devil thing)! A chef! She cooks!! She has a lot of arms!

Interestingly, she is very human looking. Remove some extra limbs and give her a neck, shes just a really tall chef. Cool, but. 

?????? (Image from Chainsaw man chapter 34, kishibe talking during Prinzi’s introduction)

Devils with human-like appearances are friendlier toward humans. Well, Prinzi and Angel weren’t too warm and fuzzy, but they didn’t kill humans that much. Angel even expressed some regret in doing so, and actively avoided touching humans to protect them.

The 3 horsemen we know of so far are interesting cases, because they look just like humans aside from the eyes. Yoru tries to get Asa to kill people and is the war devil, but she still tries to protect Asa and even seems to comfort her. She didn’t take over Asa’s entire body because she ‘doesn’t know enough about humans to blend in’. Why does she have to be a human, couldn’t she just use her bird form to spy? I dunno, but it’s been established that Yoru isn’t the smartest. Fami is still pretty mysterious, but she didn’t directly kill everyone inside the aquarium. She could have, but she made another devil do it for her. She offered to help Asa and Yuko, and she kind of did save Yuko from dying, at least immediately. She is cooperating with Yoshida’s interrogation. Makima seems pretty detached from everything and does not take issue with hurting humans for her own gain, but was very much able to maintain working relationships and live as a human without being found out as a devil.

The Falling Devil is pretty human-like, but she introduces herself as the Falling Devil and resumes killing and tormenting people with no regard for who sees her. She has a similar level of hostility to humans as, say, the bat devil. So far she seems to enjoy killing people. 

I think this is particularly interesting as she is the 2nd introduced primal fear devil. The darkness devil also looked pretty weird, but definitely had human physical traits. It basically is just a bunch of humans stacked on top of each other and a cool helmet and cape. The darkness devil also does not take any issue with killing or harming humans despite its humanlike appearance.

It’s just. An interesting pattern!!!!!

Another very interesting piece of dialogue:

Did someone send her? Who? Why? This implies some sort of organized society or system in hell that would allow devils to communicate to each other. It seems like they sent her as sort of representative? I have a lot of questions!

And Asa. Oh my god. I fucking cried. 

We have some more of her backstory which is nice, but. Holy Fuck.

She risked her LIFE to save that cat. That was the only remaining family she had. And she was willing to trust this person who promised that they could give her cat a better life, she chose her cat’s happiness over her own. And that trust was betrayed in the worst way possible, in the name of ‘fairness’.

This poor kid. I can’t. She lost everything and she blames herself for it. She believes she killed her mom, her cat died because of her misplaced trust, the one friend she made died trying to protect her from bullies (in a very twisted attempt, there are much better ways to deal with bullying, but I think Yuko genuinely cared about Asa).

We know she lives alone now, and knowing where she was before I’m glad for her. I assume that she left the orphanage sometime after this. But we know she’s never really been social, she’s introverted, she withdraws from others, which explains more about her tendencies to avoid social interactions and shut out everything around her. Unrelated, but I love her short hair and sweater.

I think this is also an interesting parallel to Denji. Denji, who never really had anything but still lost so much. He blames himself for the death of his father, of his friends and adoptive family. He really loved pochita, he gave him everything he could but still lost him. Denji who is loud and puts himself out there even when he really shouldn’t. Denji who isn’t very book smart but is friendly and loyal and social.

The cat/dog parallels. 

It is very, very interesting.

2 weeks till the next chapter!!! Might add more stuff as I think of it, but these are my initial thoughts for now :)

14, 20, 31 !

qsmp ask game

14. Thoughts on Cucurucho and The Federation?

i think on the onset is the Fed itself doesnt seem all that scary at least to unfamilar new viewers. i think at first it definitely had that scare horror factor with that famous chainsaw hallway and how many times people got kidnapped. i think as time went on as people started to learn more abt the inner workings of the federation (from getting to knwo the actual workers like fred and walter bob, to the QSMP official streams, seeing all the goofs and gaffs of it all) it started losing its horror edge and characters openly mock it too. cucurucho too, liek these characters already been through hell and back that cucurucho and the federation are just lesser evils compared to stuff like purgatory eye guys

and that part to me is the scarier or at least on equal to the horror vibes it had before because that means people have just gotten comfortable with an oppressive force. the Feds are well... the feds, they enforce the rule of perfection and stability, they only care about presenting a perfect image and they dont really care about what they have to do to obtain it, so long as the veil of perfection is presented that is all they desire. no matter how much damage to children or islanders is done, they must achieve perfection; for what purpose we don't know.

i think a lot of people sweep under the rug the horrific stuff the feds do because its only looking at the very human and feeling workers. but workers do not represent the feelings and actual desires of the higher ups, we've seen what higher ranking federation workers do to dissents that decide not to work along with their assigned roles with walter bob. and we can see that some even higher ranking workers like elena are affected adn sometimes dont even know some things because of their manipulations.

the feds work with obscuring truths, lies and gaslights (yes im using this word correctly, they actively try to make present faults on the islanders instead of taking accountability for themselves), make themselve the better person, they trap birds in cages and when teh birds beg for freedom, they show them a polluted city and say "are you sure?", the bird says they'll stay and so the feds cut their wings. its less scary in that abject of horror of "what the fuck are they?" and more scary in the sense they are cruel.

i do wish we had more human experimentation, liek we cant jsut have qq be the ONLY one thats jsut unfair.

20. Name an event you’d like to see in the future

in terms of culturall events lmao i dont have much, i kinda hoped they did lunar new year earlier, i love lunar new year (IT WAS SO PERFECT THIS YEAR TOO, YEAR OF THE DRAGON HELLO), id like them do some sort of german holiday, Oktoberfest is a great one

likelihood of them doing something liek a nod to ramadhan and aidilfitri is low, maybe one day idk, they should do a whole day of night market GOD I FUCKING LOVE NIGHT MARKET

in terms of lore events PLEASE I WANT ANOTHER FEDERATION BREAK IN, OR AT LEAST SOMETHING SIMILAR, i know that kinda stuff is so fuckin hectic esp when you have the collective half of the server, but like i love that kinda

or maybe some sort of minigames sports day with cash prizes where they jsut play server minigames made by the players, like someone can make spleef or hunger games, they just hire badboyhalo to make a find the button and everyone collectively kills him.

31. What lore/arc have you enjoyed the most?

QSLIME CODEFLIPPA ARC PLEASE I NEED THIS CONCLUDED, im already a qslime sucker, i liek his cahracter and how he's played, this idea was already been a concept for other qslime fans when it was discovered the codes could disguise as eggs jsut because of how perfect it is. I think out of most people, he was one of the most succeptible to being manipluted because out of all the islanders, he was one of teh most desperate. someone like quackity or maxo would sniff it out immediately, by virtue of them finally reaching their acceptance. qjaiden to some extent also had acceptance, though BARELY just a hair, though her likelihood of being targeted would be thwarted by cucurucho and the feds if they ever found that fake bobby, also roier would just insta kill code bobby if he stuck around. qslime however, shown oveer time and time again very publicly he would never get over flippa. AND BY GOD HE WASNT.

i also was like dying to find out mroe about the nature of the codes themselves, not jsut as killing egg machines, liek seen with etoiles they were only seen as fighters, battlers, entites only served to be one-note killers. so when codeflippa came around everyone was immedietely in for a wild fuckign ride, it got even wilder by the end of the 3rd flippa hangout stream (tubbhole stream i call it) with flippa remembering something federation related and seemingly spouting honest endearment to qslime and GOD godd QSLIME AND HIS BEING A BEING A FATHER;;; like he is so self sacrificial to point it even hurts people around him jsut for the sake of making sure is daugther is the best and recieves the best, like;;; gah its jsut a perfect arc as a testament to what qslime is down toa core, a guy trapped in a cycle of grief and drowning in it over adn over, too blinded in denial and begging on his knees to have someone good ofr once in his life. when people want to know what qslime is i jsut point them to this arc in general. its executed so well thanks to charlie slimecicle and also codeflippa's admin (they do god's work being so patient by how many times charlie straight up just lets her go free) my only wish is that PLEAE COME BACK CODEFLIPPA I MISS YOU.

AND ALSO QBBH DYING, i think bbh bloggers can word that section better than me but holy shit the arc of him dying which went on so fucking agonisingly long, the wait for a shoe to drop and when it finally does, GOD ITS A WRECK, he's so interconnected with EVERYONE on the island simply by jsut being their babysitter, yet his death is so quiet, the news pouring out slowly and surely, and the fact only select few people were actually concerned in his process of dying, its a strange reflection of a very reoccuring themse of hidden sides and secret lives that mainly is a product of how streamed mcrp works, mainly for this style that the QSMP has, qbad's death was so satisfying beacuse it was the ending of an agonising wait, of questions being answers and new ones popping up, i could go on other stuff i cant fit in also cellbit's little federation detective adventures, that whole reveal where he is confirmed to be a fed employee and can never truly escape from their grasp was so fuckign good, the consequence of by all accounts selling his soul to cucurucho and the federation comign back to bite him OHHhhhhhhhhh that whole saga is so fuckign good. also the egg lore and developments like god sunny's whole drama with leo and also tallulah, the perfect representation of things little girls go through in life, litterally roier rat sage what the fuck (i dont know why doied exists but like ratoier is fuckign funny), FITMC AND AMDAGIO OHHHH BOY, i willcatch him with my bare hands, finally the answer after finding out he knew he ahd a reason to come ot he island oughghghh philza ender king lore ive been enjoying too i will catch that man too, etoiles and code interactions is also real fujckign good.

I think the main thing i like in lore is little things having big consequences, and the execution naturally blowing up, the thing i appreciate most is paying attention to all teh little memories and slights from before, and havign the comeuppance. some arcs i do appreciate, like bagi's search for her brother (the scene with her and cellbit mua chef kiss), litterally tazercraft getting arrested adn that whole saga, antoine daniel, whatevber the hell is ayrobot but i think what makes me not come back to those that often is mainly because... well i dont think theres a satisfying answer to them. not a conclusion or ending but more like, why did these happen? what sort of thing happens becausse of this? some arcs dont seem to lead into anywhere, and its not like filler episodes , its not jsut extra stuff to flesh out characters because they are actual stakes at hand with these arcs like there should be MORE consequences because of these things, stuff should be affected but instead are just little spice to these character and thus,, some jsut miss out on the depth they couldve had. its nto a diss to anyone, i jsut wish some arcs had more time to bake or be reworked to at least have a significant effect instead, they jsut kinda end up in my mid pile.

Music Is Everywhere

Music and nature are intertwined! The first thing that comes to my mind is a device called PlantWave. An artist named Joe Patitucci created it and it’s the coolest thing ever. The way it works is it converts plant biorythms into music (Patitucci 2021). The flow of water through the plant is detected with sensors which then graph these vibrations and variations and convert it into a pitch (Patitucci 2021). The pitch is then run through instruments designed by PlantWave and the final product is a continuous melody! Below I’ve linked a video to learn more about it (Patitucci 2021).

Continuing on, it’s evident that music can be found everywhere in nature. There are so many ways to look at it. I mean, we can seek out music on a small like by looking at the biorythms. We can also think more “big picture” and go sit in a forest and listen to the wind blow through the treetops. Bird calls are another interesting way to interpret music.

 Let’s take a lyrebird for example. To attract a female, a male lyrebird must since the most complex song they can manage (Person 2022). This includes copying not only the song of other male lyrebirds around them, but also all other surrounding noises (Person 2022). And the crazy thing is…this includes anthropogenic sounds! Chainsaws from nearby construction sites and camera shutters have both been copied by male lyrebirds (Person 2022). 

It’s very cool that what we perceive as boring sounds can be seen as music by lyrebirds. I mean, who would’ve thought that mimicking a chainsaw would be seen as beautiful by female lyrebirds?! It goes to show that music and beauty is so subjective. Not only that, but music is intertwined with nature as well as the world around us in its entirety! 

Some music that takes me back to a natural landscape is, shockingly, Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles. Not really the folksy, outdoorsy song you were expecting, right? Two summer ago, my friends took me on my first ever back country camping trip. After 3 days of mosquitos and beautiful sunsets, we took a multihour trek back to the car. Once we were in the car, we had to open all the windows because we smelled like sweat and dirt. We stuck our heads out the windows and out the music on high, and the song I remember playing was Watermelon Sugar. 

I’m no singer by any means, but I somehow managed to hit that high note in the chorus and everybody in the car complimented me on it! I was never able to hit that note again, but the memory stuck with me to this day.

I didn't know of 196 until after joining Tumblr, but I'll participate nonetheless because this sounds fun!

Name: Manos (Greek shortform of Emmanuel)

Pronouns and gender: He/Him, cis male

Sexuality: bisexual (perhaps a more detailed version would be heteroromantic pansexual, but bisexual is the label I feel the most comfort with)

Country: Greece!

Top five fandoms: well.... let's see.... Bloodborne, God of War, Elden Ring, Nier, Chainsaw Man and gosh, so many more I can't think of rn

Forbidden snax, hmm? I guess I would try these insane deep fried stuff at fairs. I could go for a horny answer too, but brain dead now :P

Would I pet a bug? Well, if my bestie (who is a MASSIVE bug nerd) presented it all excited to me, I would.

Weird fact/tale: one time, a bird got somehow trapped in my jacket hood and slapped me around while trying to fly away

What does the colour blue taste like? Easy, the "mountain blast" flavour of Powerade

Most beautiful thing I've seen? Hmmmm, tough question.... I can say anything between this massive cloud I saw in my flight to Germany, the streets of Heidelberg, the city of Rethymno at night, the open sea painted by the setting sun....

Stupidest thing I've done: probably the DISASTER that was wooing my very first crush. My stupid, STUPID younger self almost reached a borderline stalker level with my attempts at meeting with this girl after the language school we did together concluded. Thankfully, this is now a shameful mistake of the past

Stupidest thing I've seen someone do: the people of some town here once thought that a sculpture of an all red humanoid with wings was the literal devil himself, and gathered a mob to exorcise it.

Hyperfixation song: Bubble, by Eve

Meaning behind pfp and username: my pfp is a piccrew I did of how I picture an OC of mine. My username is in reference to my line of work (I have a degree in medical labs), with the mech part being just something I thought sounded cool. It started as my second playstation network ID (because my old one was the lamest shit imaginable) and I soon grew into it and adopted it for my online presence.

Dream career as a kid: alternating between artist, cook, doctor, vet, therapist, before finally ending in doctor.

Dream career as an adult: I mean...science is what I wanna do, and make people happy, so I'm happy with my current career. But if I had to choose, then either travel blogger or owning a cute cafe where all the AUs and meet cutes happen

Thoughts on cilantro: even though I had dishes with it, I honestly have no idea what it tastes like

Have I been banned from a location: no. I'm a goodie two shoes 💀

Cursed food combo: probably this sandwich with cheese and jam I used to make. Or the jam, cheese,ham, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs piece of toast I had on a breakfast buffet. Or the time I had sushi after pancakes. The last one didn't end well for my stomach D:

Trans rights? FUCK YES, TRANS RIGHTS!

@jenajez424 @megatrans69 @dashadowgirl @w4nderingdreamer

“I just came from r/196” ask game

Saw another post. I think I should invite y'all to one of our longstanding traditions. Answer the questions then tag 10 (or more) people. I'll go first.

Name? Frankie

Pronouns and gender? he/they/it, transmasc

Sexuality? Lesbian

Country? USA

Top 5 fandoms? Bungou Stray Dogs, Cosmere, All for the Game, Fundiesnark (not a series but I'm too deep in it to not consider it a fandom), .....the tornado fandom? (they're my special interest)

What is your Most forbidden snack? The preserved bones at the Atlanta Bodies Exhibition. They looked so crunchy...

Would you pet a bug? If it's big enough, it is pettable.

Share a weird fact/story about yourself with the class. I like to drive around rural areas and photograph old, sometimes abandoned locations in the dead of night. I have been literally chased out of towns by foot and by car on two separate occasions. The second time this happened, "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus came up on shuffle and that's the soundtrack my friend and I tore out of town to. Also every "guy" I've dated except for my most recent ex (who has big egg energy) is a lesbian now.

What does the color blue taste like? Creme brulee

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? The appalachian mountains of Tennessee in the middle of summer. There's kudzu everywhere. On the backroads, there were several old, dilapidated Baptist churches barely hanging to the side of the mountain. I wonder how many of them were still in use.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? Short version: my friend's house almost got broken into by this dude who'd been stalking us for months while we were home alone. Instead of calling the cops, we decided to confront him with a bow and arrow (me), a hatchet, and a baseball bat (him). The plan was that if it went badly, we would simply throw his corpse into one of the many lakes in the neighborhood and let the alligators eat his remains (this was Florida). Why? Because we were afraid of having our home-alone privileges revoked. Luckily for us all, the guy fucked off and we never saw him again.

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? My ex thought that Jackalopes were real. Also, a nurse I was doing rotations with apparently thought that "Witness Protection" was for Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hyperfixation song? Young Enough + Bleach by Charly Bliss

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? Profile pic; I'm transmasc and I'm currently obsessed with TriStamp. Username; It was my fake internet name when I was like 13. I won't change it because I want my mutuals to recognize me, and because I do have a viral post associated with this name.

Dream career as a child? Doctor (funnily enough I'm now in nursing school)

Dream career as an adult? Professional Jester. Not a comedian. I just want to be some weird little guy who dresses silly and you can hire me to roast your boss at work parties.

Thoughts on cilantro? Delicious

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? I honestly can't remember? Probably... but in recent memory I've mainly banned people from places.

What is your cursed food combination? Pineapple on a hotdog with grilled onions. It Slaps.

Trans rights? TRANS RIGHTS

Autumn Falls

Summary: You and Bucky go camping but things take an unexpected turn

 Word Count: 1355

 Pairings: Bucky x Female Reader

 Warnings: Mild adult suggestions

Requested by @buckys-left-middle-finger . I hope you enjoy!

It was the beginning of fall; a time when the air was starting to become crisp, summer clothes were put away and the leaves were changing from vibrant green to shades of golden brown and red. You had recently been begging Bucky to go camping with you and now that you both had the time off, you were finally able to go. The pair of you researched places to go and that was how you found out Tony funded a summer camp and as it was the off season, you thought it was the perfect place to stay. That Friday, you packed all the things you would need and drove up to the site.

 “What’s the name of this place again?” Bucky asked, looking at the map in his hands.

 “Camp Wannahockaloogie or something like that...” Bucky gave you a look.

 “What? I’ll know the sign when I see it,” you grinned. “And here it is...”

 Within a few minutes, you were pulling into the gates of the camp. You parked in the parking bay and chose a cabin to stay in, opting to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor rather than in the bunks. Also, Tony made you swear to leave the camp exactly as it was when you arrived.

 Once everything had been put away, the first thing you did was go for a walk to collect firewood for your campfire later in the evening. It was so peaceful up there; the only sounds that could be heard were the birds singing and a few woodland creatures scurrying around in the shrubs. Up ahead, you spotted a nice little grove that was full of fallen wood that was perfect for your campfire session. The only thing was you had to cross a stream to get there which was fine because there were a few rocks you could use to get to the other side.

 “I don’t about this, doll. They don’t look very safe...” Bucky voiced his concerns.

 “It’ll be fine, you worrywart. You just gotta know where to-”

 That was the last thing you managed to get out before you misplaced your footing and splashed into the icy cold stream.

 “I’m sorry, were you about to say ‘step’?” he smirked.

 “J-j-j-just help m-m-me out of here, jerk,” you shivered, teeth rattling.

 You held your hand out and Bucky pulled you out of the water and into his strong, warm arms. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around you.

 “Let’s head back to camp. You can get changed into dry clothes and I’ll get the fire started...”

 Fortunately, this place had been equipped with shower blocks so you were able to have one to help warm up a little. By the time you were done, Bucky had the campfire going with hot dogs and marshmallows to roast.

 “How about after we eat, you help me to warm up a little more?” you purred, sitting next to your loving boyfriend and nuzzling his neck.

 “Oh, uh, I’d love to but, well...”

 This behaviour puzzled you as he normally wasn’t like this.

 “What’s wrong?”

 “Isn’t that what happens in movies like Friday the 13th and other slasher flicks?”

 “You... you’re not serious?”

 “Yeah... usually the couple goes off to have sex or someone goes off to get high or the teens get separated and they all get picked off by some disfigured psycho wielding a machete, a chainsaw, a big knife or some other kind of menacing weapon...”

 You stared at him in disbelief.

 “James, do you really want to be thinking about horror movies now?”

 “No, I don’t but that’s where my brain is going...”

 “Remember what happened the last time we went camping with the rest of the team? Clint told that creepy story about that guy with the hook for a hand... Nat swore the story didn’t scare her but after that no one could even speak to her without having a gun shoved in their face...”

 “Oh, yeah... I’d forgotten about that,” he laughed.

 “Kind of like that prank war Clint started. Everyone was too paranoid to do anything without fear of being pranked,” you also laughed.

 “Was that the one on April Fool’s Day or Halloween?” Bucky asked.

 “I was talking about the one on Halloween. What happened April Fool’s Day? I think I was away on a mission...”

 “It was an interesting day, I can tell you that much. Even Loki got in on the action... So, it started when Clint put hot sauce in everyone’s left shoe...”

 By the time he was finished speaking you were laughing so hard, tears were streaming down your face. Even Bucky had trouble telling some sections of the story due to laughter.

 The pair of you continued telling stories and recounting your favourite memories together until you got tired and decided to go to sleep. However, just before you turned in for the night, you had an eerie feeling that you were being watched.

...

 In the middle of the night, a strange sound woke you.

 “Bucky... Bucky, wake up...”

 “Hm? Wha?” he sleepily mumbled.

 “I think something’s outside...”

 “You’re just being paranoid from our earlier conversation. Go back to...”

 That’s when he heard it... a faint scratching on the window.

 “Y/N, stay here...” Bucky instructed, grabbing a pistol from his bag. You had told him to leave all weapons behind but he was insistent.

 “Are you crazy?! I’m coming with you. Remember what you said, the lunatic picks off the ones that separate... besides, we’re both trained professionals, no madman with a hook is going to get the drop on us,” you rationed.

 You squealed and practically jumped into Bucky’s arms as a loud bang was heard outside. Next came the whispering, the voice speaking both of your names.

 “This is getting ridiculous!” Bucky snarled, charging outside.

 “Bucky wait!”

 Just as you followed him out, you heard the sound of someone being hit, followed by groaning.

 “Clint? What the hell are you doing here?” you asked, positive you didn’t hear any other cars arrive.

 “Sam and I hiked up here to scare the pants off you guys and it worked...” Clint whined, rubbing his cheek. “Man, you hit hard...”

 “You’re lucky I didn’t hit you with the metal hand,” Bucky grumbled.

 “Wait, did you say Sam was here?”

 Clint nodded and pointed over to where Sam was hiding and recording the whole thing. Bucky charged over there, ready to beat the snot out of him but you held onto his arm.

 “You seriously just came up here for a cheap laugh?” you questioned.

 “Well, not just that... After you guys left, everyone got to talking and we all decided it would be a fun idea to all go camping. They’ll be here tomorrow,” Sam explained.

 “There goes the peace,” Bucky sighed. You smiled and pat his arm.

 “Don’t worry about it, baby. Clint, Sam, go pick another cabin to stay because you’re sure as hell not staying in ours...”

 “Yeah, yeah, we already got our stuff in one of the far off ones. Didn’t want you two catching on we were here...”

 Once everything had been settled, you went back to your cabin. Bucky wrapped his arms around you and nuzzled your neck.

 “What are you doing?” you giggled.

 “Thought I’d take you up on your earlier offer to warm you up,” he purred in your ear.

 “Oh? What about the maniac killer?”

 “Let ‘im take Clint and Sam first.”

 You couldn’t help but laugh as Bucky crashed his lips against yours.

 Poor Clint and Sam and to listen to a different kind of thing that went bump in the night.

...

 You actually had a pretty good time camping, even when the others arrived. Bucky tried to grumble and complain but you knew he was enjoying himself too. The best part was the nights, where you all just stayed up talking and toasting marshmallows. It was a perfect way to start the season.

"Gary Meet Dave" 3x3, that's the "previously on ap bio"… "next time on ap bio"… episode and I have a lot to chat about:

I love that the writers attempted such a wild concept like that. It took me a while to get immersed into the plot because it was setting up and cutting between so many stories: the students' drug money and cocaine subplot, the three teachers' dead guy subplot, Jack's mission to chainsaw massacre a bird but also solve the drug money case with his students ("Does anyone know where I can buy a gun?... Probably everywhere, right?" XD),... but by the time the cold open wrapped up around 10 minutes in, I was like, ooooh I see how the interweaving is gonna happen and I'm invested now! Helen and Durbin's story was maybe the least interesting until they started to go around questioning everyone else, connecting all the plot threads.

Jack-and-his-students shenanigans are the heart of the show to me and it was nice to see so many of the students getting things to do in this one! How does Jack get to be one of the craziest but also kind of the straight man?! So Dennis-core. "I'll take the fall" chain ending with Marcus was dramatic and amusing.

How did you feel about the Lynette and Joyce "homewrecker hussy" subplot? I thought it was good seeing her get into shenanigans with her office colleague outside her life with Jack. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion (idk?), but I fluctuate between really liking Jack and Lynette together in some episodes to wishing the show did a best friends arc for them instead of a romantic one, haha but that might also just be my ace brain on most series/movies.

The teacher trio's PLAY actually paying off in the end!!! The cocaine dropping from the ceiling! "It's pure baking flour!" The janitor Dale and Coach subplot was surprisingly funny! I didn't care for those characters much when they were introduced but they've really grown on me (btw I'm 95% sure those two actors were also writers on the show). Joyce and Lynette setting up the story of Jack as a cheater who is bad at sex for Joyce's followers! Even the little Gary and Dave threads made me laugh.

Sorry this ask kinda got away from me a little bit. Did this episode work for you? Which bits and which subplots did you like most? Least? (I know you're not an ap bio blog but I did a rewatch recently and I don't know who else I can talk to about it hehe)

i'll be real i watched this episode for the first time whacked outta my mind on wine and i full on couldn't comprehend it. i had to rewind it and watch it sober. i liked the departure from typical episode format, and how it made the school feel much more vibrant and interconnected than previous episodes by giving us this sense of all the plots overlapping/interweaving/happening at the same time. I liked Gary and Dave's plot, the students' plot, and Lynette and Joyce's plot the most. Like you said, it was really great to get to see Lynette doing something that didn't involve Jack, and the way she was so willing to throw his good name under the bus for a joke was SO them. I'm glad AP Bio let Lynette be a little unhinged/amoral in that moment instead of having her defend Jack or something because Jack wants a scheme partner more than anything.

also @glenn-howerton-ships-macdennis and I have been talking about Jack/Lynette and Mac/Dennis parallels so. im sorry i cant help but jacklynette simp they are so cute together

One Piece Chapters 238-246

ATE WHO??? Dewey

My condolences to DuckTales fans.

Chapter 238 - Heaven’s Gate

HEAVEN’S DOOR!!!

Nico Robin reveals that the reason the combatants lost wasn’t because they were weak, but because they were high. High in the sky, not high in the drugs. For clarity.

The knight guy asks for some bizarro currency in exchange for being the crew’s bodyguard. Hmm... more than one kind of currency... just like in Fallout: New Vegas... and if I know ANYTHING about Fallout: New Vegas, this knight is a SCAMMER! Okay, I’ve solved the plot. We can move on to the next mystery now.

The knight reveals that the Gravity Modifier is actually not the intended dev route, but a risky speedrun strat that can be used to bypass the mandatory party member death scenes. Neat!

Also the knight gives them one of the plushies from Hades. Except they’re not going to die, so they’re only going to be able to use it once. Because those plushies only refresh upon death. Get it? Get it? Get it?

and then usopp falls to his death because the properties of the devil fruit were the only thing keeping lufpy afloat

...Nah that’s not what happens but that’d be funny though

Wow, that is hilariously tacky in a way that’s impossible to convey through text summary. Very good.

An elderly fairy appears. Lufpy thinks that’s an angel. I suppose contextually that’s logical.

So anyway the fairy reveals her life philosophy: Breaking laws is completely allowed, it’s just that enforcing them is also allowed. So if people feel like breaking laws they can just do it.

Lufpy thinks this is a good idea and begins to break laws.

Chapter 239 - Angel Beach

This chapter title ALSO sounds like a Stand name.

Sanji says that happiness is lame and then does a cartwheel. Nami gets attacked by a bird and is now shirtless.

Uh Nico Robin you just described the blandest most generically accurate definition of the word “adventure” possible. What’s YOUR idea of adventure? Small self-contained puzzles? Anyone who defines “adventure” like that shouldn’t be allowed to be a college professor.

I guess Oda gave up on trying to make speech bubbles not near characters be subtly contextually assignable.

There’s all kinds of wacky and weird stuff in the sky, like a harp playing pet owner named Coins.

WHY IS EVERYONE CHANGING THE DEFINITION OF WORDS???

Coins’ dad is named Papaya.

Chapter 240 - Dial Power

As a Chainsaw Man fan, I would obviously love to do that. With my phone. Ha cha cha!

Lufpy sucks at using jetskis. Sanji shares saving-Lufpy-from-drowning duty with Zoro. Meanwhile, Tony Tony Chopper attempts suicide, I guess, but only Usopp cares.

Nami is good at using jetskis. I can’t wait for Nami to come in clutch during the jetski arc.

Lufpy hates Nami for her jetski behavior. Noooo... the best characters are fighting... I wonder if this is how people with bad taste felt during Luffy vs. Zoro. Which is still not the name that chapter should have had.

I thought better of you, Usopp.

So the crew meets an Echo Flower from Undertale. But button-operated. So I guess it’s more of a normal device. So never mind. There are also ones that can record things other than sound. I can’t wait for someone to inevitably record violence with one of these for combat purposes.

Sanji is eating rotten nasty food again.

Nami goes to the Forbidden Forest because no one told her that was bad. It turns out Coins and Papaya are morons!

Chapter 241 - Heaven’s Judgment

Lufpy has no respect for other people’s cultures.

The Forbidden Forest is full of people who love to hunt humans. That’s nice! Nami isn’t sure if helping the human prey is a good idea. It doesn’t end up mattering because there’s a huge laser beam.

Lufpy sees very far-away cops.

Chapter 242 - Class-2 Criminals

holy shit what a line of dialog

Anyway, cops are trying to make the crew pay almost as much money as there are chapters of One Piece, but they don’t really want to. Nami tells them not to resist authority, and starts assaulting cops.

Lufpy assaults cops too. Usopp says “it was all thanks to me”.

Chapter 243 - Trial

lmao

I can’t wait for Lufpy to recruit a carpenter and render Usopp useless

Anyway, Nami, Nico Robin, Tony Tony Chopper, and Zoro get kidnapped, presumably by cops. Stupid cops forgot to check for Lufpy, Usopp, and Sanji!

Well, all’s well that ends well. I should skip to the ending of this arc to make sure it ends well.

Oh wait, it turns out I don’t need to do that: The cops actually DO intend on causing Lufpy, Usopp and Sanji to suffer. Phew! Wait, that’s bad. Phew! It would have been bad if that were good.

Chapter 244 - SOS

Lufpy, Usopp, and Sanji are evil tourists now.

...What’s Wei Stuff? I truly don’t know...

Wow! Lufpy REALLY doesn’t respect other people’s cultures! COOL!!! <3

Coins turns out to be one of those white women whose special move is calling the police. Now it’s time for a laser beam to kill her! Except Lufpy uses the Hades plushie instead. Now she’s irrelevant instead of dead! Phew!

THE KNIGHT WAS A GOD???

Well, I guess that explains why he had access to Hades plushies.

Chapter 245 - Adventure on Kami's Island 

The Forbidden Forest is trying really hard to kill someone. Poor forest’s a failure! :(

Lufpy and his two friends reach a video game level select.

Meanwhile, Zoro is trying to kill a fish. Also, Zoro thinks starving to death is pretty great. No wonder Zoro and Sanji don’t get along.

Zoro makes a Tarzan reference. Hmm, this is technically a new joke from Zoro, but... if anything, I think his power level just got lower... strange...

Chapter 246 - Satori, Vassal of the Forest of no Return 

Lufpy, Usopp, and Sanji decide they like balls. Usopp’s face gets torn apart piece by piece. Everything turns out fine though, other than the fact that snakes are attacking and everyone is explosion.

An evil ball announces his presence. The evil ball is like a cool martial arts guy or something.

Oh hey, I finished Volume 26. Phew! Now I don’t have to worry about the volume number being 26 anymore! Check back in tomorrow, where I’ll be reading the entirety of Volume 27.

[nerevar-quote-and-star]

I had a dream there was another dark brotherhood quest in skyrim but I hardly remember it aside from Festus Krex apparently betraying us this time because I woke up and was like “grandpa wouldn’t do that to me. I do not see it”

I don’t even have much of an attachment to that character but you know what freshly awake me grandpa WOULDN’T do that to me

Thing is, I DO have an attachment to that character! Grandpa Festus is voiced by Jim Cummings (old news — everyone knows this! 🙄😆 but he legit said he loved me at comic con this summer, so . . . ) who some of us may remember as the voice of Darkwing Duck from the Disney Afternoon cartoon of the same name. He voiced Darkwing . . . and Negaduck.

Negs is crazy, dude. He'll chainsaw a puppy just to make a buck. He'd shoot a bazooka at a bird just for kicks. Little Lost Bunnies beware because he's coming for their souls! He's chaotic evil at its best.

Naturally I refer to Festus as Old Magic Negaduck.

So yes, yes I could see him betraying us, but it'd at least be way funnier than whatever the heck Astrid thought she was doing.
