fun fact you can do whatever you want forever AND you will find people who love you for that. there are other people who do whatever they want forever and love other people like them and you will hold hands with them and skip through fields i promise

seeing my (teasing-is-my-love-language) dad joking around with my (sigh-he's-doing-it-again) mom like "you have good taste in colors and details, no wonder you married a handsome man :)" "yes, handsome, whatever you say..." is making me think of a similar dynamic between you and al haitham, happily married (therefore he is 100% trusting and had learnt & memorized all of your habits with twice the devotion he put into mastering those 20+ languages he's now fluent in), and you two just bantering because he's being insufferable again:

"ugh you're so annoying! just because you're my husband, you're taunting me on purpose! aren't you afraid i'll get smitten by other nicer men or something?!"

"hah. like anyone else could top my attractiveness level in your eyes."

"............ i hate it when you're right."

"i am always right, darling."

"i hate you."

"strange for you to marry the man you hate, but i won't judge. your quirks have always fascinated me greatly, just like your beauty."

"did you just insult me or praise me?"

"should i give you more time to fully process my words and decide on a conclusion?"

"........... i want a-"

"-kiss? gladly. come here."

A apt distinction between Dafpork and Baffy (followed by a long ramble)

Since the looney tunes show era, it's not uncommon for looney tunes fans and even modern looney tunes to define Daffy and Porky's dynamic to be of the bully and doormat variant. Doesn't help when the latter half of the classic looney tunes shorts assert Daffy to be dull but domineering, and Porky to be competent but meek.

I don't reject these portrayals, but I do find it reductive to reduce Porky's aptitude for hubris, or Daffy's capacity for emotional intelligence... sometimes intelligence, period. Especially when people write them in comparison to how they write Baffy's dynamic.

So, here's a comic strip that encapsulates both Dafpork and Baffy's dynamics in a way that helps me summarise my points. The premise is the same for both: Daffy tells the latter a joke.

Here, Daffy tells a harmless (albeit flirtatious) joke. And Porky responds by crushing his trash can over Daffy's head and remarking on the quality of his humor.

As best friends, this is their normal -- usually Daffy initiates by tormenting Porky, and Porky will retaliate (sometimes dishing out more than Daffy may have earned). Other times Porky initiates and Daffy responds accordingly. This is how they banter.

Now let's move onto Baffy.

Here, Daffy tells a joke, and Bugs seems all too familiarised to his antics. Then Daffy pushes for a compromise, Bugs gives in. And then Daffy makes him regret the decision.

As best friends, this is their normal -- Daffy initiates by tormenting Bugs, Bugs anticipates this and usually shuts him down. Daffy pleads with Bugs to humor him, Bugs allows it, and then immediately regrets it (to varying degrees of legitimacy).

This is to say:

Porky can fall into the trap of being a doormat, but when it comes to Daffy, is a lot more emotionally volatile to the point of explosive anger. They're also very good at playing to their roles in relation to each other, making their interactions in shorts snappy, varied, unpredictable and hilarious.

Bugs is more attuned to psychological warfare and mind games, but has a track record of giving into Daffy's whims against his better judgment. He also has shown/admitted many times that he has a soft spot for Daffy, which makes their shorts carry this level of unspoken familiarity that is rarely found in classic looney tunes.

In the shorts, Dafpork operate like the duo that click the moment they clock each other, while Baffy operate like the duo with undisclosed history. Which I find super interesting when in terms of chronology, it should technically be the other way around since Dafpork shorts are greater in bulk and came way earlier before Baffy.

All this goes to show that truly, in my heart of hearts, Porky is NOT as soft-hearted as modern looney tunes media may have you believe. And Bugs has an understated weakness to pitiable pleas from sensitive birds.

hi yeah so i was thinking about legacyverse tournament of elements

wrote a little thing set in @the-ninja-legacy-whip ‘s universe. Where Tox and Cole meet each other on the ship to Chen’s island, because the plot bunny wouldn’t leave me alone and I am fickle.

sorry for inevitable inaccuracies. i am the fool. here for a good time not a dignified time

Rockshoot the shit

So Kai was fighting his teacher. And Cole had to admit, he was kind of into it. Even if Karlof wouldn't be his personal teacher of choice for which one to duel if given the opportunity when he was still stuck in school. 

Now, Cole thought that was where the novelty would end in this absolute rollercoaster of a day, but he was wrong. 

He was watching Kai's fight-- as was always the case when Kai fought, it was a flashy, acrobatic affair. Karlof was an absolute truck of a man, but the master of fire was a menace of his own. However, that menace was not exactly great at directing his ire when caught in the moment-- Jay barely managed to duck out of the way of a fireball. 

"Hey! Make hot shots, not pot shots!" Jay yelled in an indignant tone. Lloyd snickered besides him. Sensei Garmadon just pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. 

"I don't need your backseating!" Kai shot back, just in time to totally misjudge the speed of a punch from Karlof, which sent him flying back and off the upper deck. 

Jay ran to where Kai flew over the deck and called down. "Are you crazy sure!?" 

"Move it, Motormouth," Cole said, pulling him to the side before Karlof could steamroll him as he chased Kai. Jay swatted him aside and went to follow Lloyd and the sensei to the lower deck, where they could definitely hear Karlof and Kai continuing to raise hell.

Cole was going to follow, see. That was his plan. Except that a very familiar shade of green caught his attention. He had to do a double-take. 

"Tox?!" 

Tox Ikita was leaning against one of the ship walls. She popped some bubblegum in her mouth and gave a single, saluting wave. "Was wondering when you were going to notice." 

Granted, they had seen each other like, yesterday when Cole was working. But seeing her here felt not unlike meeting her in the Underworld or Caves of Despair. But also, the metalshop teacher was here, so who was Cole to actually be surprised? "What… are you doing here?!"

"Same thing as you, probably," she said in a breezy tone with a smile that told him she was totally enjoying his bewilderment. 

"You're an elemental-- wait-- that explains the eyes-- I just thought they were contacts!" 

She propped her hands behind her head. "And what did you think the rest of the green was?"

Cole couldn't help but gape. "That's what those spots are? I thought you said they were tattoos!"

"Did you believe that?" 

"Well, no, but I didn't…" Cole pressed his palms into his eyes. "Creation's sake, I'm an idiot." 

Now, whatever was going on with Kai must have been exciting, because a moment later, he was flying back up the stairs. He caught himself on the railing and took several hops back, only to double take when he also saw Tox.

"Cole? Isn't that your friend from that Rockrock club?!"

Tox smirked and clapped a hand on Cole's shoulder. "Rockshot. How's it going, Hothead? Still staying out of trouble?" 

There was a sound not unlike a stampeding elephant from below deck. Kai jumped onto then off from the railing just in time for Karlof to barrel right through it with the eagerness of a Lloyd in a candy store. Kai landed on Karlof's back, fire licking his clothes as he attempted to melt through the protective sheen on his former teacher's body. 

"Oh yeah!" he called. "No cleaner nose than--" unfortunately for him, that was when Karlof managed to shake Kai off-- he slammed into the wall, right between Tox and Cole. They could hear it crack from the force. "...Mine." 

"Need a hand?" Cole figured he'd offer. Sensei Garmadon probably wouldn't be thrilled with two of them picking a fight, but also it was better than Kai hurting himself this early on. 

However, he didn't have to walk that line. Kai punched his flaming fist into his palm. "No no, I'm good. All warmed up. Fired up. Whatever." 

With that, Kai shouted a hearty "Ninjaaaaa gooo!" and took off after Karlof.

"Never a dull moment with you, is there, Charcole?"

He rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall next to her. "You have no idea." He hummed and rapped his fingers against his arm. "So, you're an elemental master?" 

"Yep. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't know that already." 

"Look, I've been busy, the club is dark, and you're like, not even in the top fifty for weirdest characters that hang out in that place." 

She snorted. "True that." Another pop of her gum. "Anyway, master of lightning, right?" 

"Oh yeah," Cole replied quickly. He made two finger gun motions at Karlof, who was currently taking swing after swing at Kai, only to learn just how slippery the fire ninja could be when he put his mind to it. "I look at all the bad guys and just zap zap zap." 

Cole was about to ask what element she controlled, only to realize just how dumb of a question that would have been. "Oh. Element of poison. I probably should have guessed. Explains the vials. And the name."

Tox gave him a mock glare. "Glass houses, Brookstone."

"Hey, I'll throw all the stones I want. It's kind of my thing." 

She tipped her head back and laughed. Cole couldn't help but chuckle at how absurd it all was. 

Somehow, Kai got a good hit in on Karlof, and this time it was his turn to get sent flying to the lower deck. He could see Tox's expression sober.

"Did you get an offer to drag you here, too?" 

Cole felt a pang of… something. Not quite hope, but not quite despair, either. 

"Zane." 

"The ice one, I assume?" she looked away. "It's a nice statue." 

"Yeah… I just… I don't know if I can believe he's alive. We… we saw it happen. I mean, I want him to be alive, of course, but if this is all just some cruel trick--" he paused. "Wait… why did you come here?"

Her expression tightened. "This Chen guy makes a lot of promises."

"Oh."

She chuckled. "Just so you know, I don't plan on letting you and your little crew win. I happen to have a vested interest in winning this tournament." 

Cole couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Even if it's to save the ice ninja?" 

To save a hero? Someone Cole cared about?

"Nope."

Before Cole could protest, she held up a hand and glanced around-- most of the staff seemed preoccupied by the big shiny show that Kai and Karlof were putting on.

"But here's the deal." 

He waited for her to continue.

"Let's say this Chen guy isn't lying, and that he does have your friend. That means he's holding him captive, right?" 

Cole swallowed hard and nodded. He felt a knot in his stomach.

"Well, in my book, nobody that keeps one of the heroes of Ninjago captive for the sake of holding a game show is worth listening to." She crossed her arms and smiled. "So as far as I'm concerned, this guy is asking for it." 

Cole raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going with this, Tox?" 

"We'll get to this stupid little island, and we'll fight in this crazy guy's game. And we'll both do our best. Winner helps the loser get what they came for, yeah? No reason this has to be a zero-sum when the person running it obviously sucks." 

He felt a warmth in his chest that had been missing for… a while now, he realized. 

The guys were with him, and Cole was with them, one-hundred percent. But nothing was the same without Zane. Everything had just felt wrong. Emptier. Colder. For all of them. With Zane gone, everything had felt so much more hostile. Like the entire world was out to get them. Like one moment of weakness would be all it'd take for Cole to lose even more loved ones. 

Cole smiled. "Sounds like a deal." He offered her a fist bump, which she accepted. "After all, us Rockshot DJs have to stick together, right?" 

"You know it! Now c'mon, I wanna see who wins," she replied, guiding him to the circle that had formed around Kai and Karlof's fight on the lower deck.

"Oh, Kai is going to wipe the floor with him. Dude survived an exploding volcano. This is nothing." 

Tox laughed. "For real? And here I thought the legends about the Spinjitzu Masters were all exaggerations. You have to tell me the stories sometime!" 

Maybe they wouldn't be so alone after all.

HELLO MS. SWITCH WE ARE FRIENDS YOU CAN TALK TO ME CONVERSATIONALLY AND @ ME AND WHATEDVER I TOATLLY WELCOME IT !!! WOOHOOHO YIPPE INTERACTION!

this extends to anyone else btw!! cause of my autism i interpret social relationships weird so you can just go "we're friends now" and i will say 'AWESOME' and you are my friend until you say we're not and i will send you silly little memes.

champion of overthinking

[zebruh]

brushed tyrone and dear god I feel so sneezy

[feral-coffee]

I never expected to see anything like this. I'm fairly used to being the ... token, I suppose, or at least I was when I still had community to interact with.

Everyone else into flogging was just whack whack whack, hard, hard, hard, until the sub had enough*. I had my own technique, I kept people guessing as the Dom and as the sub, I learned to accept that not everyone does it like me and sometimes it's the Dom that ends up ending the session because they imagine I couldn't possibly want to take it that far and what could it mean I though something was lacking.

I haven't even finished the video yet and it's like hearing my own thoughts in another person's voice. And yes, mix it up, go hard to the point of crossing over into blood play if that's wanted, go soft and gentle, go moderate and let the sub wonder if it's a prelude to hard or soft. Go hard to bring sensitivity up, soft to work with that sensitivity and turn it into a very intense and loving caress, go moderate to keep the feelings maintained so the hard and soft remain balanced, tolerable, enjoyable. Read your sub, give them what they desire while subverting their own expectations by making the next time the whip comes in contact with them a surprise.

Keep it safe, of course, keep it consensual, of course, but don't let it become dominated by rules intended to keep it uniform and boring. Keep it new, take it to new levels and find new ways to transcend the everyday drudgery of life.

These people would get me.

Seriously, if you understand and work with the emotions of the whole session and say fuck the aesthetics of it, any audience you have, as well as partners will absolutely adore the part of the overall aesthetic they'd been missing before. It goes from basic and cold and formulaic, to real, heartfelt, and deep, and to me, that's everything.

*Not shaming the community - some do like that. I was just different. We were all different in our own ways.

[omoghouls]

Oh god, Minthara run has Gale so mad at me after the grove raid- but I managed to convince him to stay so slaaaay babes

I promise Gale buddy, no more murder like that, just the regular murder for now on

[barnbridges]

my ultimate tsh chess opinion is that yes henry is magnus coded but bunny and nepo have way too similar vibes.

[bunny-behind-a-keyboard]

objectum/posic peoples i ,..,, have a question

when do you consider a bunch of parts to be one object/creature instead of a bunch of little creatures? like a lot of people consider a computer to be one being but it's made up of multiple objects (drivers, chips, wires, ect.), at what point does it become a collective?

i got thinking on this at work today because i was thinking about the bar and how i consider her one being, but then realized i thought of many of the things in her as creatures too, like her efpos machines.

maybe its like humans with cells yknow? like as a collective i am one being but i am made of so many living organisms working in harmony.

idk im just rambelling and curious as to other objectum peps thoughts ! :p

[moonchildreads]

my dad and i have this ongoing joke about me becoming a millionaire and taking him to disney world to see star wars land and he just found out the star wars hotel closed down permanently last year so now he's texting me like "you're still taking me to see the millenium falcon, right? you promised, don't be cheap" please sir i'm just trying to move out of your house first

[bunny-behind-a-keyboard]

an identity shouldn't hinge on physical ability , you are a therian if you feel like one, end of story. no amount of gear, quads or vocals will change that. you are valid just the way you are <3

it is hard enough to be different in this society, there's no need to make it harder by in-fighting and being exclusionary amongst each other !!

Young therians stop being ableist challenge (impossible, apparently)

There are so many young therians who pin such importance on quadrobics, I've even seen them start groups that are basically quadrobist exclusive.

I'm a disabled therian. We exist. Not everyone can do quads and I don't understand the obsession with it.

Quadrobics is a very physically demanding sport, and it's not required to be a therian. Don't exclude your disabled therian friends just because you think this activity is cool.

12!Mikey: See Marvel! Spiderman can be fucking happy for once!

12!Leo: *chuckling* You got beef with Marvel?

12!Mikey: *riled up* Oh I got so much fucking beef with Marvel! Talking bout how “either Peter Parker’s happy or Spiderman is happy. One always has to be fucked over.” Like get out of here with that bullshit! You saw how happy Peter B. Parker was with Mayday and he’s still Spiderman? FUCK YOU MARVEL IT CAN WORK! PUT ME IN THE GODDAMN WRITTERS ROOM!
