I need to see a gif set of Ryan Gosling performing I’m Just Ken at the Oscars side by side with Marilyn Monroe performing Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes because that reference was 💯👌🏻

If you're still doing the ship opinions, what do you think of Egypt x Norway?

lol don't think I ever started doing ship opinions, it's just so happened that I tackled a lot of ship related asks after one another 😅 but always happy to contribute Norway related information regarding connections and relations to other nations! ✨

Can't say I've ever heard about Egypt and Norway as a ship before, so I'm starting all fresh with this one. Norway and Egypt don't really have a lot of relations with each other - most of the dealings between the two nations is regarding Norwegian ships and the Suez, as well as military collaborations, and some Norwegian companies have investments in Egypt. I won't say Egypt is a very popular tourist destination, but there are definitely Norwegians who go there on holiday. There's no major cultural links or other funfacts I can find about them in my very short time looking into this.

For me, I need a historical link or some other cultural bond to really enjoy ships, so I think I'll need a bit more convincing on this one ✨

Mia's Relationships in TWST—Part 2/2

Like with the first part, I took this as a general progression of thoughts and opinions amongst everyone and went from there. Everyone's thoughts and opinions are pretty straightforward, more or less, but I'd still like to get into a little more detail on those below the cut. So off we go! (Original chart/template is from here, and the Picrew I used to make Mia's little sprite is here. Her armband is something I put together myself.)

• Crowley: At first, Mia didn't really have much of an opinion on him other than the fact that she thinks he's a little scatterbrained. Of course, the longer she stayed at NRC, the more she came to dislike him. He dances around things too much and dumps a lot of problems onto her that she's pretty sure he could handle himself. There are some things she doesn't mind dealing with, but usually she's pretty annoyed with him and avoids depending on him whenever she can. Meanwhile, he thinks she's pretty great. She's diligent, resourceful, and very independent. Although, he does think her currently well-known attitude needs some work.

• Crewel: They actually came to like each other fairly easily. She's really good at alchemy and she enjoys it very much. It's even her best subject. (Grim is so lucky.) Crewel likes the questions she asks during class and appreciates her efforts as well as having the patience to deal with Grim when it comes to schoolwork.

• Sam: Him and Mia didn't really have much of a problem coming to like each other. She thinks he's pretty cool and he likes how laidback yet spirited she can be. Since Mia does take up a part-time job at his shop, her time there ends up making them pretty casual friends. He even trusts her with the shop sometimes.

• Vargas: Hands down, Vargas is one of the few people she's completely indifferent towards. There's not much to say about a musclehead like him, in her book. As for Vargas, he came to like her pretty easily. And he's a little impressed that someone as lean as her can handle his lessons.

• Trein: Despite Mia wondering how exactly one teacher could make a class so monotonous, she's pretty cool with Trein. As for him, he pretty much came to like her fairly easily. Like with her other classes, she's diligent and makes an effort to pay attention despite falling asleep in his class at least a few times (which was before she managed to find a coffee machine).

• Rollo: Oh boy. Both of them were pretty indifferent towards each other at first. To Mia, he was just a really reserved and polite guy, even if he did keep giving everyone judging side eyes, so she didn't pay him any mind. Rollo, meanwhile, despite being in disbelief with how nonchalantly she was handling being surrounded by magic users, didn't pay her much mind. And although he was a tad curious why she was even attending NRC in the first place, he chose not to dwell on it. He did have his grand plan to worry about, after all.

Once the whole ordeal with Rollo and the crimson flowers had occurred, Mia was quick to dislike him. And when she had the chance, she didn't waste any time giving him a piece of her mind. Rollo still remained indifferent towards her, however, but he does think she's a bit too modest with trusting her classmates so generally.

• Fellow: I haven't seen the translations for Stage in Playful Land in their entirety, so I'm just going off of what I've seen so far for both him and Gidel (hence the question marks and white arrows since I wanted to at least put something there). So far, Mia doesn't like him. He's too suspicious and way sleazier than Azul, and she absolutely does not buy his "friendly guy" act. She might have her guard up for a pretty long time, even though probably half of the group keeps trying to convince her that he's totally fine. Ace most definitely will be one of the first ones to tell her to loosen up if Grim doesn't beat him to it. The closest she'll probably get to lowering her guard a smidge is admitting that everyone's outfits aren't too bad, including her own. But she's definitely not a fan of the long ribbons, so she's tying hers up for more mobility.

Fellow, meanwhile, probably might like her, but he does see her as a very tough nut to crack. Maybe he'll pull out all the stops to get her to have some more fun, maybe he'll get her to at least trust Gidel. Who knows? (The chances of him getting Mia's rough side are low, but never zero.)

• Gidel: Currently, Mia's pretty indifferent towards Gidel since he seems harmless enough. But he is in league with Fellow, so that's probably a red flag for her. Gidel might be cool with her, but I have no idea.

[I might update Fellow and Gidel's sections whenever I get around to either watching the event translations or seeing it officially in English, but we'll see.]

*glances at the time* what if i proposed the thought that by the time of the events of atsv, miguel reallyyy hates how he's become the very thing he previously despised and pushed back against-- an authoritative, controlling figurehead....

I feel like i do have to say, btw, that I'm not actually taking requests at the moment. I say this because I've been getting a few more requests these past few days, and some people are sending them more than once after I ignored their first ask, which is really not pleasant. I'm not mad at anyone!!!! I kind of understand the confusion since I did take a rather big batch of requests the other day and I've been answering some asks with drawings, but those are isolated instances and do not give you permission to harass me trying to get me to draw whatever you want.

If you want a drawing from me then you'll just have to wait until I specifically ask for requests, and if even then I don't take your request, well that's too bad, but I don't owe you any art, sooooo yea

Also while I'm rambling, it is so annoying to me (but not that much really, lol) that Annabeth's personality doesn't really fit with NPD as I've looked into it so far, because her fatal flaw would fit it so well.

I could've rounded out the whole of cluster B, but alas 😩

[pyra-colony-au]

I keep forgetting so many things in this au, like the fact Megatron is supposed to be a self-taught cityspeaker

Alright, after checking the strength, durability, and distance it can go, I'd say this grapple gun is complete!
