Indian Government: we are at the brink of war with Pakistan, so it is vital that we prepare our citizens for the possibility of air strikes and power outages. To this end, we will be conducting mock drills across the nation on at 4pm on May 7th. Just in case Pakistan starts a war with us

Indian Government: *launches missiles at Pakistan in the middle of the night*

Canon straight ships in Star Wars always crack me up like

You have Mutually Obsessed and Making That Everyone Else’s Problem (anidala)

Or maybe you want Roguish Princess and Rogue Turned On By That (hanleia)

Maybe even a little “I’m Trying to Kill You, Stop Daydreaming About Being My Best Friend” (lukemara)

And over there in the corner is Only Considered Normal In Comparison to the Given Competition (obitine)

And outside, not even apart of the conversation: Actually Normal Human Beings Who Just Love Each Other With Little to No Murder Being Involved (Bail&Breha, Owen&Beru)

[merryfight]

big fan of musicians smacking sense into their listeners with songs like caramel. the way this track addresses the double-edged sword that is fame is an important reminder that neither entitlement nor idolization can lead to anything good. vessel really said tl;dr: can you people please be normal for five whole minutes

[lazylittledragon]

[sleepyandbi]

okay the other thing eliot’s dating thoughts reveals is that even though the man views himself as the most irredeemable person he also thinks he’s the most normal of the crew… buddy, i’ve got news for you, you’re also a little weirdo

I know that all DNIs are inherently flawed and pointless anyway, but what are some common criteria or addendums that make you doubly disregard them? (Besides the obvious...) I'll go first!

Fandom bullshit listed over things like "racist" or "homophobic"

You can just tell they're putting something on there because everyone else has it on theirs, but they have no idea what they're talking about

Acting entitled to know every follower's exact age, gender, sexuality, race, religion, and country of origin or risk being blocked

Calling fans of a particular media freaks/bigots/losers, followed by "current moots excluded!"

Overabundance of censoring that does nothing but make sure their talk of sensitive topics gets past every filter

"Basic DNI criteria"

"Etc"

I've been having thoughts and I made a chart about it. Here's what I got so far (potential spoilers for House of Leaves, Magnus Archives, John Dies at the End, and Homestuck)

I'm sure there's more but I haven't finished House of Leaves yet so I'm holding off on a final version; feel free to comment your findings

every time I hear about a speedrunning cheating scandal in a video game that's basically ''this runner adjusted rng values so instead of grinding for 50 days to get the luck required for a world record he only needed to grind for 10'' it really makes me think that maybe speedrunning games like that is stupid, like getting the world record at having the time to waste to play the lottery most often, what's the damn point if that's the key skill

when people use dance as a metaphor for gabriel and v1’s fight. careful steps with music in the clash of weapon against weapon. im gonna be sick

Thinking about Shao Yuanyuan and her wildcard potential and it hit me today... just how much does she know? Does she live in a time loop similar to Lu Guang or does she hop in and out of the past like Cheng Xiaoshi? Does she know that Cheng Xiaoshi also has a death node?

It suddenly occurred to me to that the Shao Yuanyuan we likely saw during the fire in Ep 4, was either a time leaping SYY from the future or at least one who had information from her future self to know to be in Bridon at this point in time and also a Shao Yuanyuan who might have just realized Cheng Xiaoshi had awakened his own powers.

Given her meeting with Cheng Xiaoshi in Ep 6 where she acts like Cheng Xiaoshi should be aware of how this all works, I suspect that it's because the version of Shao Yuanyuan from Ep 4 arranged this meeting because she encountered Cheng Xiaoshi during the fire and thus knew he would show up in Bridon and go searching for them through Wang Qing. She needed to set up that meeting so she could tell Cheng Xiaoshi face to face not to pursue her anymore (and make things more complicated).

I also think that was her second attempt at doing so - the first being to go back years earlier to tell the Qiao family not to let him go to Bridon. But the future refused to change so she found another opportunity to try again.

And based on Lu Guang's comments it sounds like she would have also failed again in the original timeline. It's not clear how her conversation with CXS went last time (if there was one) but at the very least she might not have had time to make CXS promise not to chase after her anymore, and that would have likely sealed his fate. If anything, a sudden interrupted meeting like that might have even encouraged him further.

And this is all coming from a Shao Yuanyuan from an unknown point in the future...

Anyway this is a lot of words to say where in time is Shao Yuanyuan?

And what the heck does the timeline look like from her perspective?

MAN. I HEADCANNON PM! DAZAI DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE. like, he knows love. The structure of what it is, a simple stature but thats only the view from the outside. when he finds himself trapped inside the complex labyrinth love was — he was at lost for where to go. no routes in his mind could pave a path, there was no logic working in this maze. as if it were different from everything he'd ever known.

I headcannon Dazai does not know love, but merely the theory it is. He knows how to seduce yet he does not know what it is. he just knows it's something that helps him to manipulate, to take control of the situation.. but within those strings, he finds himself no longer the puppeteer — but he, was the puppet he was playing all along. he never knew the dangers of what love could do, until his heart became what was being played as a price to be payed. it started off as a thrill, then an annoyance, and then a constant looming — the feeling of his heart tightening in his chest. truthfully, he never knew anything.

And that made him fear it.

but you knew everything, how to love. and what's beautiful, is the fact that he melts within your embrace. he learns what is right, he learns love — what it means to love and be loved. he finds out with you that in all dark corners, love is still beautiful. That within this dark maze, you were the one who pulled him out and into the light, you who spoke of love so beautifully. there came an enlightenment to him, that you were the one — the one he's been waiting for all his life, his answer.

but PM! Dazai Osamu was but a man — fearing the unknown, for the feeling of lost once you slip away from his fingers. Dazai Osamu fears the day you would ever be snatched away from him, if he'd ever awake with you beside him in the morning, and the next, and he regrets; he regrets knowing love, how beautiful it is. because you've shown him why life is worth living, and if that — you, were to ever be taken away..

I woke up with an insane dazai brain riot help

anyways I'll come back to this I swear hold on—

After some research, I learned that the creator of Lonnie Machin created him to be the next Robin after Jason's death, but Tim Drake was created and stole the job later. This explains the comparaison between Lonnie and Jason, and probably also why he is called a vigilante and Bruce likes the kid so much. Anyway, this is just feeding the "Bruce should take Lonnie under his wing and make him another one of his kids" want I have developed playing Batman Arkham: Origins. That's what his creator wanted, for his revolutionary baby to have Batman mentors him (so they can destroy capitalism) If DC weren't coward they would give to Bruce his anarchist kid and make Lonnie a batkid!

~ Detective Comics (1937)

Anarky and Lonnie Machin's beginning! I was a bit worried, because I don't really trust an usamerican media to be objective about anarchism, but actually Bruce is shown to agree with Anarky's cause! He agrees with him, but not with using violence as punishment. Bruce, once again, uses the power trinity to explain why he is against killing.

Bruce calling Anarky "a vigilante", just like the murderer of that ceo in Future State, once again shows that Bruce doesn’t see people as criminals if they are in the eyes of the law or break his moral code. If someone is trying to take over the drug cartels (Red Hood in Under The Red Hood), that's a criminal. If someone is killing ceos because they are pos (Anarky here), that's a vigilante. Also, again, they show how Bruce is NOT a capitalist. He openly criticizes a new bank opening instead of social housings. He says he admires the kid, he defends him as "just trying to do the right thing".

Bruce panicking because he hit a kid is everything I want about him. Yeah, Batman should be horrified at the idea of hitting a kid! But also, Lonnie reminding him of Jason, and like, is there a kid out there that doesn't remind him of his late son? Really, this man is like "A kid... My son was a kid... *starts to cry*". And the fact that he got pranked by Lonnie? Just great.

I don't have a near-age sibling but some social feedback seems ideally delivered via indelicate roasting by a near-age sibling when you are in your teens. It feels easier to take "you don't shower and that's why no one likes you" from a sibling than parent or friend. Easier to deliver as a sibling, too

your parent gently saying "you should shower more" – ignore it. what do they know about the realities of your existence...

your friend says it (also nicely) – mortifying and weird, much likelier you'll take it to heart but you'll visibly feel terrible about it for a long time, which they didn't want, and now they're even more reluctant to say things to you (or anyone really)

it doesn't get fixed so your future first partner has to say it – god. might as well die

your annoying sibling – "fuck off" + slink off to shower a few hours later

I was thinking about the language barrier's reader a bit and thought that the inclusion of certain types of jewelry on reader looked odd to Hylians was really neat! So I looked around to see what types of jewelry Hylians could wear and the most I see them wearing are gold necklaces, bracelets, and the occasional jewel earring. Which isn't a very diverse jewelry set, but it is interesting. It got me thinking if the reader wears more gothic or alternative types of jewelry like studded rhinestone belts or spiky chained collars or even an industrial piercing on one if their ears. It can also add to the group's suspicions since they're timelines are a lot more fantastical and dark/gothic elements are more see of as apart of the evil side. They could've thought that reader was a spy or smthn! Thoughts?

This is so fucking late - IN MY DEFENSE.

I graduated college last year, moved several states over this year, am still taking a class for certifications, and then got hit by Hurricane Helene not even 6 months after moving basically right in its path. Its been a lonngggg year you guys.

So sorry abt the inactivity frequently, please try to understand, i do this in the little free time i have between work and class, and even then i have other hobbies i like to indulge in for my own mental health too lol,

so i want to have fun and chill with you guys when i can

Anyway onto the ask

☆

So true ✒️ anon, fun headcanons here, im so excited someone noticed that kinda obscure reference! I had noticed that abt most Loz games too, that theres usually very specific jewelry, like gold bracelets/necklaces, or only jewelry thats diff is specific to things like fairies/tribes of ppl/etc.

I dont have much thoughts tbh, u thought of more stuff than i did lmao

Love alt reader reactions (i use that as an umbrella term tbh, like covering any non-mainstream style)

Bro they def would think ur a spy 😭

Like, wild's out here like "guys i think the Yiga members arent even hiding it anymore 🤨"

(Sorry i mention wild alot, ive yet to play other loz games 😔 dw chat i just some of the switch versions for early winter presents)

Okay but to slingshot in the other direction bc i finally had a Thought in my empty head

If u had like silvery jewelry or like very clean (pearls/beads/etc.)

Lol what if they mistook you for like a minor deity/spirit?

Bc those are some of the individuals i can think of in a few loz games who get jewelry at all/get unique pieces

Or if we're going by Guide!Reader, these silly hylians are like "oh yes, mmhm, makes sense, no wonder u have strange jewelry"

Do you think Legend would be jealous?

Do you think Legend would lowkey steal stuff trying to see if they have magicks lol

Waving around like those chunky silver gothic looking rings like "Shadows, or something! Uhh, invisibility? Ugh, Hyrule, help what's other sneaky shit Ganon's better monsters do??"

Out here looking like Kaidou Shun from Saiki K LMAO

thinkin ur apart of Dark reunion ahh 😭 LMFAOO

Ok ok ill stop making fun of Legend, he's just so Easyyyyy

Hope that was at least somewhat fun ideas for an answer!!

Peace out ✒️,

🌙
