#brief references to that

[gamora-borealis]

Re your Phil's insta story tags: what happens that's related to dnp?

nothing like referencing them in the game or anything but, still uhh... very related. spoilers for FFVII / Rebirth and discussion of the vday video under the cut

dnp have both loved final fantasy / final fantasy vii since before they met. in the original final fantasy vii, there is a part where cloud gets to go on a date with another party member on a ferris wheel. during this part, there are fireworks that go off outside and the song that plays in the background is called "interrupted by fireworks." well, in the vday vid phil talks about going on the ferris wheel with dan the first day they met. when talking about this part, interrupted by fireworks is playing in the background. and dan had said in an old formspring post that interrupted by fireworks reminds him of phil (and included a <3 with it). in the remake that just came out, if cloud goes on a date with tifa (who is heavily implied to be his love interest in a lot of FFVII media), there is a version where he kisses her on the ferris wheel. and guess what happened with dnp on that ferris wheel... this remake coming out as we are now months away from dnp's 15th anniversary sure is something.

A phone call between brothers (takes place AFTER this incident and Fiddleford's phone call)

Sorry if this is OOC!

Common historical misconceptions:

Suits and ties were not used by everyone: they were mostly used by people of high status on formal occassions.

Daft Punk represent some of the earliest androids registered outside fiction, they were not two humans in suits (this is still disputed)

Similarily, Miku Hatsune was an "anime" character at first, the first sentient personalities of Miku date from 2026.

The "Old City" of Niork in Usamerica was actually built in the 2230s around the JFK Spaceport, the ruins of old Niork are in the Manhattan Swamplands.

Similarily, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building are later reconstructions. The original Statue of Liberty did not have the shield with the emblem of the Joint Chiefs.

The Joint Chiefs did not refer to an alliance of "chiefs" in charge of Usamerican "states", but rather to the pre-socialist military dictatorship.

Bioengineering allowing for animal features is only registered from the late 21th century onwards. Findings previous to that are understood to be caricatures.

"Anime" art was made for general entertaiment, thus the stylization: it did not reflect a lack of knowledge of anatomy. The 'animation renaissance' of the 22th century is heavily disputed.

Open surgery was not 'primitive' or 'painful': it was a complex procedure with anaesthesia and other processes to avoid suffering of the patient. Widespread internal biotechnology arrived only on the 22th century.

The First Space Race did not end because of 'incuriosity' or 'astrophobia'. While political factors were important, technological developements such as Single-Stage-to-Orbit spaceships came only by the late 21th century.

While it is true that live meat was commonly consumed in the industrial era, it was not hunted or butchered at home by individuals such as Gauchos, but rather produced by ranching. Widespread artificial meat arrived only in the 22th century.

The current Socialist Interstellar is not a direct continuation of the original Socialist International, there were several interludes on which did not exist as such, particularily the Neoliberal Interlude of 1991 to 2089. The oldest continously socialist country is Cuba, now part of the URSAL.

There is no evidence that Batman existed. His introduction to the superhero genre as a 'powerless' hero was fictional, and not based on a real person, despite several claims.

However, Espaiderman is identified to be a real person: Pedro Parques, who lived in Baries, Argentina during the late 21th century, but he did exist as a Usamerican character previously.

thinking about 17's grievous incident again

(he also sent the pic to Grievous)

shebse interactions once again inspired by @thefoundationproject, because I feel like Priority would have Much To Say about it

and the version without the priority additions

[drabbles-of-writing]

Y’all remember the days when Belos was just the funky mysterious masked villain with the sans eye. Remember when Little Miss Perfect dominated both the fandom and Amity Blight as a character. Remember when some of us were genuinely worried Eda would die in the S1 finale. Remember when we all hated Lilith with a seething passion. Remember when Luz’s biggest issue was just trying to figure out day-to-day Boiling Isles life. Remember when, save for the finale, Understanding Willow and Enchanting Grom Fright were the episodes we all lost our minds over.

I’ve been thinking nonstop about a post @nouverx made on March 3rd where Alastor asks “what country” the ace aro flag was, and my brain naturally made a meme about it.

Rosie jump-scared him with it one night in the December of 2016, and he said yes for the sake of his sanity (post 1933 world maps are hard, okay)

having a guy dressed as javert jumping into the seine would be the only thing that could redeem this opening ceremony for me

Quick sketch after @serenityhime1 picked “draw something that makes you happy” in my ask game. I don’t usually draw Vegebul in a realistic way but I had fun doing this. It might be the beginning of a new drawing phase 🤔

Do you know what you started?

I just came here to party

But now we're rockin' on the dance floor, acting naughty

Your hands around my waist

Just let the music play

We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face... 🎵

I really really love EoZ Tentora and I think they've got to be one of the best versions of TruTen. Uni students, living it up, being each other's bad influence, what's not to love?

Happy TruTen Day! 🍤🐯

She couldn’t believe she thought the worst thing that could happen was embarrassing herself in front of rich people. Hell, she thought the worst would be that Yue Qingyuan would see her, make some quick mental connections, and get her ass fired! No, the reality was much worse. Fuck, Mobei was going to kill her.

here's the wlw moshang I've been working on for a while! please enjoy MBJ getting kabedon'd by a woman who's a whole foot shorter than her

Vegeta: You're insane, woman. I'm a Saiyan warrior, I'll survive this. You, on the other hand, don't stand a chance.

Bulma, tearing up: So I should just...give up hope?

Vegeta: Wha- what are you doing? Are you crying?? No, no crying!

Bulma: Oh, should I laugh!?

Vegeta: No, you should shut up and LET ME PROTECT YOU!

Mizuki's trained You Gotta Come, Or Else I’ll Be Sad! 4* card contains multiple references to previous Mizuki cards.

Firstly, if you look closely at three of the bubbles in the foreground, you will notice they have card art from three of Mizuki's previous event banners. The cards are their untrained Feelings That I've Realised 4* from Secret Distance, untrained What Gave Me Courage 4* from And Now, the Ribbon Is Tied, and untrained The Words Only I Can Convey 4* from Our Escape for Survival.

A bit harder to spot due to the water effect, but Mizuki's reflection in their You Gotta Come, Or Else I’ll Be Sad! card has a different facial expression to them. This might be a callback to their trained Unyielding Obsession 3* card, which did the same thing.

Going back to the first point, you might've noticed that there's no reference to Mizuki's card from their second unit event, My Footprints, Your Destination. However, there actually might a reference to the event, just in a different way to how the other events were referenced. Take note of the fact the card is set underwater. While obviously this is a reference to the new lake area in the Empty SEKAI, in this specific card, it might also be a reference to the song Lower, which was the song for the Footprints event. The in-game jacket and the teaser for the song both show a mobile phone sinking underwater.

Rumors are going around on twitter and weibo that starember might have left the tgcf manhua team omg.. they're unfounded right now but can we get a prayer circle going for hoping that it's true!! 🙏🙏🙏I'm so tired of their consistent racism and orientalism being passed around in the manhua space, people have been raising the alarm on it for literal years now
