[cripplecryptid]

Malaise is the fucking worst. Like oh youre feeling sick? What are your symptoms? Feeling sick. WHAT

[corellianhounds]

You know what people like better than a Strong Female Character™, Filoni?

A strongly written character.

Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, after a more fractious and character-driven episode of “The Heiress,” has Mando begrudgingly asking Bo-Katan for help retrieving his kid only because it’s clear she’s had experience hijacking and navigating around Imperial ships, she has numbers with Koska and Axe behind her, and she is a legitimately good fighter.

Bo-Katan initially scoffs and refuses. To her, he is either intentionally or unintentionally the reason she lost the shipment of Imperial arms and munitions, and their culture clash only drove the divide between them even wider. Now he wants her help? Is he insane?

“It’s Moff Gideon’s lightcruiser,” Mando says.

And that gives her pause. She sneers at him with both derision and suspicion, saying nobody can just track down an Imperial Moff, especially a Moff who’s former ISB, especially by someone like you, Mando.

Mando grits his teeth and shows her verifiable proof and oh, noooooow she’s whistling a different tune. She readily agrees, giving him the same warning about leaving Gideon for her to fight. Din doesn’t care: his child is his only priority.

So the infiltration goes off and they get inside the ship with their collective crews. Mando beats Moff Gideon and saves his child, and then he shows up on the bridge with the Darksaber in hand, the tip of the blade humming at Gideon’s back.

Now Bo-Katan is even angrier. He, deliberately or not (and at this point she’s certain it’s deliberate, him continuing to foil her at every turn), did the one thing she told him not to do, and now this- this outsider, this cultist who knows nothing, is standing there with her sword.

And then he has the audacity to offer it up in forfeit, right there in front of everybody. There’s no possible way she’ll be able to challenge him for the sword now because people will know that he never wanted it in the first place, so he’d obviously just be throwing the fight and she’d have no legitimate claim over it.

He doesn’t even want it.

“It has to be won in combat,” she grits out through her teeth. She can’t even attack him here, not when he’s already tried to yield it to her and he’s holding the foundling he saved as a result of winning said fight in his other arm. The Mandalorian ideal, wrapped up in this new suit laden with more beskar than she’s seen in one place for a long time.

She can’t even begin to say how much she hates him right now.

But then in her periphery she hears Moff Gideon chuckle, and Bo-Katan bristles, knowing exactly what he’s about to say as soon as she hears him laugh and it’s going to ruin everything, but she’s too late

“Why can’t he forfeit the sword?” Gideon taunts. “Thats how I got it from you.”

The bright flash of a blaster bolt sails through the air and hits Gideon square in the chest, knocking him back with a grunt as she strides forward to kill him with her bare hands. There’s an immediate clamoring of voices, the drop soldier hitting her like a brick wall and holding her back while everyone else tries to break up the impending fight, saying he’s a war criminal who needs to answer to the New Republic for his crimes. Gideon groans, falling back against the console as his plastoid chest plate smokes, and Bo-Katan Kryze trembles with rage.

Koska and Axe are behind her. She knows what expression she’ll see on their faces, the immediate disdain and loss of respect. She shouldn’t have shot him. She shouldn’t have shot him because that’s more of an admission of guilt than anything, and now all of them know.

Gideon still somehow manages to chuckle weakly and she realizes that he knew exactly what he was doing. Even defeated and without recourse, he excels at psychological warfare and he’s just fractured any and all support she may have ever had at her back. The Nite Owls know. The cultist knows. The droptrooper, the assassin, the clone—

Everybody now knows that Bo-Katan Kryze, Mandalorian heiress to the throne of their homeworld, had at one point in time faced down Moff Gideon with the Darksaber in hand and had not fought to the death. They know that she forfeited the sword at the height of the Empire’s war, and they knew that Mandalore had fallen either because of her surrender, or because she was foolish enough to believe they would grant them mercy.

To them, she’s either completely inept and an idiot, or she’s a traitor, or she’s a coward, if not all three. Nothing about her actions was befitting of a Mandalorian and she’s fought so hard for so long to keep anybody else from finding out. With two sentences Moff Gideon has ripped any support or chance at leadership away from her entirely. It doesn’t matter what her intentions were when she surrendered; no one will ever truly know or believe her because there is no other way for them to see this freshly re-opened wound as anything other than a complete disgrace to her house, her creed, and her armor. Nobody will rally behind her now.

At the end of season 2, Bo-Katan is alone.

Prince of Vale part 3

Hallway

Jaune: *Walking to Cinder, smiling* Hey, Cin-

Cinder: *Panicking, start Running* I'm sorry i can't talk right noooooow! *Goes through an open window*

Jaune: -der!?

Library

Cinder: *reading a book*

Jaune: *looking over her shoulder* Oh, i love this story!

Cinder: *surprised, freeze*

Jaune: ... Cinder?

Mercury: *reading a comic book* She does that when she's surprised. She'll be back in a bit.

Jaune: *sigh* I'm sorry. *Leave*

Mercury: *wait until Jaune's gone* You can stop acting now.

Cinder: *still doesn't move*

Mercury: ... Cinder?

Cinder: *slowly tilt to the side before falling, petrified*

Mercury: ... *Goes back to reading* Eh, she'll be fine.

Cafeteria

Jaune: *try sitting next to her* Yo!

Cinder: *choke on her sandwich*

Jaune: *panicking, does the heimlich maneuver*

Cinder: *lose consciousness by the sheer embarrassment of being saved by the one she is supposed to protect*

Jaune: *thinking she is dying* I'M SO SORRY! DON'T DIE ON ME!

JNPR's dorm

Jaune: *looking gloom*

Pyrrha: *entering the room, wincing when she sees Jaune* I'm guessing it didn't go as planned?

Jaune: *depressed voice* Oh, hey Pyrrha... *Sigh* I think she genuinely hates me.

Nora: *frown* Weird, she talked to me without problems. *Look at Ren* You?

Ren: *nod* Same here.

Jaune: *sigh of despair*

Pyrrha: *crossing her arms, leaning her back on the wall, thinking* "That doesn't make any sense! I heard her praising Jaune's kindness when i passed near the infirmary. So either she was lying, or..." *Gritting her teeth, thinking Cinder is in love with Jaune* "That bitch!"

Meanwhile, in Cinder's team dorm

Cinder: *rocking back and forth* I'm a worm, an insect, a miserable pile of disappointment.

Trivia: *writing in the air* What happened?

Mercury: She made a fool of herself... Multiple times.

Trivia: *cocking one eyebrow* How bad?

Emerald: *patting Cinder's back slowly* Don't worry boss, i'm sure he doesn't hate you.

Cinder: *despairing* He must think i hate him now. I failed my duties. The madame was right all along. I should have died in the cold streets of Atlas, the queen was wrong...

Trivia: *wincing when she hears that*

Mercury: That answer your question?

Trivia: *writing* At least it's only a misunderstanding. I heard they are trying to befriend us. So as long as we give a reason for her erratic behavior, we should be fine.

Cinder: *stop for a second* ... He was trying to befriend me?

Trivia: *unsure if she should answer* ... Yes?

Cinder: *Melting on the ground* I ran away from the prince's kindness. My life is meaningless.

Emerald: *sigh* It's going to be a long year.

I’m rewatching all the land before times (yea i’m that old) for nostalgia’s sake and bc i think they’re kinda renowned for their animation in that time period. here’s my ratings so far

(Don’t read if you care about spoilers for a kids movie franchise that started in fucking 1988 but I am getting the feeling this won’t matter LOL)

I : it’s the first one it’s great. littlefoot’s mom dies. we know this. you’ll cry. he spends the whole movie grieving. this is a hard watch why exactly did this go on to make 14 movies? 9/10 bc it’s legendary but honestly the whole movie made me sad

II : come on let’s go and run around run around. what a beautiful feeling! we finally found A PEACEFUL VALLEYYY and EVERYONES HAVIN A GOOD TIIIIME NOOOOOOW!!!!! (Music was good) Also chomper is here. 10/10 i want to eat a tree star for real

III: ummmhmnmm I think this one is teaching kids about bullies and how to stand up to them or share with them or something. the fire scene which is basically just Bambi again scared the hell out of me as a kid. as did Bambi. 6/10 I watched this 2 days ago and already forgot the overall plot

IV: I must’ve really liked this one as a kid bc I remembered more of it than the others but I COMPLETELY FORGOT THE GIRL LONG NECK SOMEHOW. she was mid. Backgrounds and vibes in this one were beautiful though. almost losing a family member so we got to almost relive THAT trauma. Mists were pretty. Nightflowers were pretty. actually this one slaps 10/10

V: no!!!!! I was bored!!!!! my family and I used to sing “big, big, big, big, waterrrrrrr” all the time so I thought I would love the song but it wasn’t good. the songs really dropped in quality at this point. resolution of the big plot issue at the end happened out of nowhere. CHOMPER IS BACK 10/10 and not having sharpteeth eat his friends was such a major thing that’s cool. but genuinely this one was too boring. 6/10. the high-ish rating is only because chomper is there

and that’s all!!!! be back with more if I survive watching (checks watch) 9 more G-rated films about dinosaurs 🙃

[flyingwide]

ARB Birthday Special: Kaiji Sano

~~ October 27th ~~

“If you were mine, if you were only mine, I'd bring you so much further down and twist your mind until the end of time.”

Login Lines:

“Oooookay! Drinks? Check! Game setup? Check! Hair, outfit, and makeup? Fucking check, haha. Alright and there’s Nagisa with the green light, let’s get this show on the fucking road, baby!”

“Hi hi, my loves~! Your adorable internet darling, Jinx is back! Hi, hi, hello! Wow, you guys sure are excited today, hehe! Wow, guys we haven’t even started yet and you’re already coming in with the donations! Hm? ‘Happy Birthday Jinx!’ Aww, you guys are so sweet!”

Voice Lines:

“Holy shit, I’m 23 years old, ain’t that a mindfuck? I mean, I’m not complaining…except that I am, I thought that since now I’m in a relationship, my mom would get off my back for a while but now she keeps asking me when am I planning on officially tying the knot and give her grandchildren, as if she’s not busy taking care of Azumi and Chiemi not to mention Henri and Mikiya’s own kids! Ugh, I knew I shouldn’t have said anything…”

“My chat is sooooo sweet, they managed to clear my wishlist just a few hours ago, I’ve been getting delivery after delivery, it’s pretty fun…at least some of them are, I’ve also been getting a few gifts that are more…extreme, I mean, I’m not exactly freaked out or scared but what the hell am I gonna do with some schmuck’s chunk of flesh?! Maybe I can give it to Max, he said he likes meat…”

“Y’know for how much we all fight and try to fucking kill each other, my brothers still managed to come through on occasions such as holidays or when one of us has a birthday, maybe it’s because we don’t want to make mom sad knowing that we’re not as close with each other as she had hoped…she always keep saying how close she and her siblings are, if that’s the case how come we don’t see them as much?”

“This year, my little sisters are able to spend my birthday with me since they’re now allowed to go out in public, oh they’re so cute! I know it’s my birthday but c’mon how can I not spoil them? They look so adorable all excited eating cake and other sweets, maybe I can convince mom to let them spend the night over at my place?”

“Hiiii RenRen~! You know what day it is, yeah? That’s right! It’s my birthday and you know what that means, you and Max can’t say shit today, the three of us are gonna go out and have some fucking fun and there’s nothing neither of you can say or do about it! You don’t wanna make me sad, do you? Ha! I thought so! Noooooow, do you have a gift for the birthday Jinx?”

“Ho-hoooly shit, Ren! These are fucking cute! I love the design! A shame these aren’t real knives though, I’ve been practicing my skills, just imagining the look on some poor bastard’s face when I stab them through the eyes with these babies is so fucking funny. They’re great, man, thank you so much.”

“Hey puppy, good to see you back from wherever you went…and you’re not gonna tell me, are you? Look, I don’t wanna nag you, Max but Ren’s pretty worried about you…and to be honest so am I, you’re leaving a lot and when you come back you get all…quiet, more so than usual. Is this about the Dead Pool that got posted a while back? No? Alright fine, I’ll drop it, what is it that you have?”

“Awww, this is so cute, are these real gems? Eh, I guess it doesn’t matter, this definitely beats my old one and the flames are pink! That’s so fucking cool! Kinda wish that I had a cig on me right now, maybe later, you’re getting real good at gift giving, Maxi! I’m proud of you, man, keep it up!”

Ren Lines:

“Hey Kaiji, good to see you. Yeah yeah, I know, happy birthday, you menace. Look so long as you don’t get us caught by the police, I don’t really care what you have planned but just keep in mind that we both got reputations we can’t afford to lose. Hey, c’mon, don’t use the puppy eyes, you know I can’t stand them, fine fine, it’s your day after all, here, I got you a present.”

“You like them? Good, these weren’t exactly cheap, I know you’d chew me out if I got you counterfeits or anything of the sort. Yeah, sorry, the knives aren’t real, I’d imagine the looks you’d get if they were though…I don’t know whether to be concerned or not by that, I think Touya is influencing you a little too much, dude. Well, as long as you’re happy.”

Max Lines:

“Kaiji…happy…birthday…where I’ve…been?…sorry…can’t tell you…it’s a…secret…mmpf…no…I’m..fine…it’s not..that…I can’t..tell you…I want..you guys…to be safe…anyways…I brought…you a gift…here…”

“I’m glad…you like…it…the gems?…I don’t know…to be…honest…I don’t…like…smoke…but I figured…you…would like…this…oh…nice…that’s good…I guess…”

If you click on the pictures, I think the quality may look a bit better!!

⭐️✨Sally Starlet!!

I had really bad artblock so I asked some friends for a Welcome Home character to draw! Sally and Julie were chosen! I’ll draw Julie later, but as of right noooooow!

Here’s some Sally art, including a little bit of Wally! I was inspired by things she actually said on the website, videos and stories.

I really enjoyed the new update so I’ll probably be posting more things related to that! :]

Have a lovely day or night! ⭐️✨

Gang I made $20 extra today because a rich lady left her towels behind at a rental and I found them for her. 😏 another time, a rich lady sent us like a $50 box of cookies because we tracked down and returned the book that had LITERALLY all of her passwords in it, and we also found some medicine they’d left behind and some kids toys.

The majority of the people who stay with us aren’t the nicest, but those of them who are the sweetest people alive really do make the other 80% worth tolerating.

At the same time I cannot WAIT for my vacation coming up in a few days cannot wait to finally take a BREAK this summer was insane. But it’s ooooover noooooow 🎶

Reduced hours and dropping temperatures HERE I COME

ToG Read-a-Long, Heir of Fire, day 3

15

Chaol’s daddy issues

I’m sorry, but I just find it a little boring

Like: what is the worst thing that could happen if you say you changed your mind and DON’T go with him. You already abdicated. It’s not like you have any obligation to be the Lord of Anielle. And he can’t really make you? It’s not like he can take anything from you?? You already divorced Celaena AND made her leave the continent???

I mean.

Honestly.

You and your daddy issues are bloating this book and making me BORED.

(The king is way more of a threat and you don’t even know it)

I like Sorscha.

In my head I’m pronouncing it like Saoirse

(As in Saoirse Ronan)

16

“She didn’t bother to note the details of his features as the thick vein in his throat pulsed. Witches didn’t need blood to survive, but humans didn’t need wine, either.” Oh my god she’s so sexy

Vampire dommy mommy (stoooooooop) (I love you)

(Is there any such thing as a male witch, or are they all just fantastic fantasy lesbians?)

(Maybe they keep the boys at home)

17

How come she doesn’t want to be friends with these delightful people

Friendship is magic, Celaena

Rowan: *just hanging out in hawk form*

Me, with a wing kink that SJM forced on me: here we go again

18

I LIKE HER DORIAN. DON’T YOU DARE ABUSE HER WITH MAGIC.

I know you can’t control it but that is no excuse. You hurt her and I’ll be v. mad at you

Chaol is stalking Aedion

(I really don’t care) (lol) (this book is so bloated) (I need another action scene) (I get bored easily) (is he gonna threaten him with a knife? Noooooow we’re getting somewhere)

19

So Chaol told Aedion, well. Pretty much everything. If they become best friends that’s gonna piss off Dorian, because Dorian is not into this guy.

20

YEAH! BITE HER! Bite her AGAIN!

(I love you Rowan)

21

“You don’t bite the women of other males” oh BOOO Rowan you know you wanna. Come on. What if it’s consensual??? SMH. Just a little bite. Come on.

Already forgetting what Nehemia looks like?

GIRL HOW

SHE WAS YOUR TRUE LOVE

22

I would rather read about Rowan and Celaena than any of these other characters

This chapter was pretty exciting

Dorian seemed to be losing control of his magic and struggling in similar ways to Celaena. Maybe he needs a faerie boyfriend to train him, too. Not that I don’t think Sorscha can train him, just that, he seems to be more of a threat to her where Rowan and Celaena are evenly matched.

I really liked how he smothered her fire by pulling the oxygen out of the air.

(It made me think about ATLA)

You know how, like, the fire nation did a genocide on the air nomads…

I mean, I just never thought of it before, but yeah. They could nullify their powers. Air and fire always seemed to be the most powerful elements, especially in the thesis of that show.

Idk where I’m going with this, I just think it was a neat use of magic, and not something I have necessarily seen before, even with another famous fire/air combo like Zuko and Aang.

[atlien34-blog]

I couldn't have survived much longer

My bright, shiny new job is a turd

A giant steaming pile of shit

Buuuuut I'm here

Getting paid what I originally asked for and legit the closest to work I've ever been since we lived in the cascade and Ken was born.

I asked for this

No more no less

Noooooow I know I should've asked for a shitload nkre

More

More more

More time with my family

Less time with weirdos and sycophants

More time with myself

To read, create, be inspired...

Less time spent simply cranking out shit for the machine

More time

More grace

More laughter

Less stress

Less tension

Less fake news

Less drama

More faith

More peace

Mire love

[dangermousie]

Bringing this back because I think this is the route Blossom should take to cure poor Song Mo. I mean - if sex can cure blindness, why can't it cure fantasy poison that literally feeds on negative feelings but wilts on happiness?

The doctor literally said that rage/anger is what would do him in and if he stayed peaceful and let go of it, it would help.

Well, as the hippies used to say, "make love not war." It's medically necessary! Dou Zhao should make her husband so exhausted he has no energy to be angry.

I have soooome hope we are gonna get healing sex of some variety tho because one of the trailers had this:

Which I assume is his losing his mind due to poison (as you can tell his hair is more grey) and then there is this cap:

Aaaand this where he's in his undershirt so clothes matching is useless but she has her pink outfit..

But his hair looks dark here, say you!

IN MY WORLD HIS HAIR GOES BACK TO DARK AT MERELY GETTING TO SECOND BASE

(and then after banging he's fully cured GIMME HEALING SEX TROPE NOOOOOOW!)

anyway, this is an excuse for make out post because i want illness-curing banging.

Sooo, do you guys want to see blindness-curing sex? Enslaved by Love will oblige.

Our friend the ribbon comes back!

Yeah, undress him! I do approve that in minis ladies are usually enthusiastic participants (in some proper length cdramas, FLs look like they are holding in nausea from even being kissed.)

I choked...

Aaaand of course out comes the ribbon - he puts it around her neck and pulls her in. Half this drama's budget went on ribbons and floodlights for the ML's torso.

Eye doctors are about to be out of business!

And then the morning after he wakes up, shocked to discover he can see. Heh.

PS I finished this drama and while I cannot objectively praise it, subjectively it was mad fun so yay for it and me!

[therealcocoshady]

Pleaaaaase drop it noooooow. I need something to look forward toooooo

There you go : Chapter 23 is here ! ❤️

[bishop-percival]

(prev)

@gloria-in-excelsis-infimus "Why certainly dearie!" Gloria said as she leaned over the bowl and squinted. "It's a..." Once she had double-checked that it wasn't any similar species she pounded the table with a surprising amount of strength for an old watchdog. "THAT GODDAMN MADCAP'S DONE IT NOW!" Gloria yelled as she jumped up and grabbed her walking stick. "I SWEAR, WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HER-" .............This was not the kind of attention she wanted to attract. She awkwardly giggled as she gave the rest of the Glornists a disarming smile. "I'll... be sure to flush her stomach before it does her in!" Then Gloria grabbed Revenard Miriam's hand and trudged after Lola as swiftly as her legs could carry her. Which was, fortunately for Lola and unfortunately for Gloria's beating stick, dreadfully slow. "That was a nearly-ripe Forbidden Mushroom of Arfuglis before someone went and wasted it. If you pick it just when it reaches it's peak ripeness and perfectly prepared it you'll have a dish fit for the gods." "Arfuglis specifically. I was planning to request the fabled mushgnome egg once I had gained their favor. But noooooow that nincompoop went and wasted months of backbreaking labor! And if that wasn't bad enough, she didn't even attempt to cook it! The disrespect!" "So!" Gloria smiled far too widely as she let go of Miriam and clapped her hands together. "Would you like to let her get what's coming to her or learn how to cure her?" She turned to address the Glornch's darling little visitor. "You're welcome to tag along if it's not too much for your little tummy to stomach!"

@candbrp Shamura flinches as the older woman slams the table, ones above, they suppose they were even more glad they had pulled all that off, they didn’t want Priestess Miriam to have been poisoned!!! They perk as Gloria starts to pull Miriam away, but at the invitation to join they get up, they could definitely stomach, and they might be helpful, they helped the Prior quite often in the monastery infirmary. They look over to Bishop Percival and Mike, feeling like they maybe needed permission to abandon the table.

The priestess sighed and rolled her eye. “That twerp. It is Lola we’re talking about here. If she can repeatedly survive weeks in the labyrinth dimension, surely she can survive poisoning and a visit from Cane.”

“Ahem,” Autumn interrupted as they turned and leaned over the back of their chair. “Gee Miriam, I wonder where Lola even got such a thing. I wonder if your little quest for her to scour the tunnels for a forbidden mushroom of legend led her to it.”

Miriam widened her eye at this realization of complicity and briefly gave an ashamed glance at Gloria before scowling back at Autumn. “I-I didn’t think she’d actually find something…”

Percival felt some eyes on him and looked up from his second bowl of soup. “...I dunno what’s going on any more. I don’t really care.” He went back to eating. Mike didn’t care about that whole situation either. He’d become much too accustomed to disastrous Glornist dinners. Something like this happened nearly every week. Besides, he was busy watching Percival like a specimen, interested in how eating this much food in one sitting might affect him with regards to his demonic transformation. 

Miriam gripped her fists and continued toward the door and grumbled. “I’ll treat her.”
