icoamd keeps haunting me (in a good way, i think🙂‍↕️)

saw this image on tiktok & I realized im not capable of getting over anything u write, especially icoamd🥲

byebye now🐧

ICOAMD MENTIONED ‼️ help that picture is so real so me so facts…one thing about me i will love a knight/royal guard EVERY TIME 🤩 it’s truly such an underrated yet dreamy trope i wish more people wrote about…sigh…actually i just got into a new fandom that is lowkey rife with potential candidates for the trope though maybe i will have to tentatively return to royal au land 🤔 but anyways i digress!!

AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! i think about icoamd megumi sometimes and always with fondness he was such a sweetheart 🥹 ngl sometimes the plot of icoamd was rough solely because i kept going on hiatus with it so half of the time i never remembered what direction i was taking the story in 😭 SO it really means a lot to hear you loved it sm regardless!! thank you again i really appreciate it

I find Marie’s body language in Return of the Mammalians really interesting because I can use it as Momrie propaganda BECAUSE it’s a really great physical representation of a side of her personality we don’t get to see that much in the game.

There are only a couple of instances this can be applied to in Return of the Mammalians but because I’m bored and desperate, I can stretch it to three, with a fourth scene where I think it could be improved.

Hold on to your tentacles! You’re probably going to think I’m insane after this.

I can’t believe you actually want to read this.

So, the first example I have AND the one that inspired me to write this mess is the scene during the construction of the uh, the machine thingy (does it have a name?) where Callie leaps at Marie to hug her in celebration of completing their task. And I MEAN leaps. We can’t see the whole of their bodies but judging by the suddenly acquired height difference, Callie is completely off the ground at this point. Given that the scene ends in a freeze frame, we don’t see the full force or speed of the hug-tackle either, but what’s clear is that Marie is prepared for it. Just to give myself a bit of focus because I have NO idea where I’m going with this; if the Marie-is-a-Horrible-Cousin Truthers whose splatoon knowledge ends like 6 years ago are correct, wouldn’t Marie have gone ‘Ew. UGH. CAL *hair flip* why are you TOUCHING me?’ or something? Or at the very least be completely unprepared to catch her? And that’s the thing! She doesn’t just hug her back - she CATCHES her. As shown by this here low quality image vv

Marie’s arms come up under Callie’s in a scooping motion. She is fully aware of her cousin’s physical recklessness and is completely prepared to catch her and keep her safe. I mean, the fact that Callie trusts her enough to just… fling herself at her is telling enough.

Alrighty. Next point GO!!

After Cuttlefish (I don’t like calling him that. Let’s call him Craig) after Craig gets Sucked Dry by That Bear, the Squid Sisters seem… mildly concerned, which is probably to keep the upbeat and comedic feel of the game while sacrificing a little emotional realism (coming back to this later!), but after they see he’s fully conscious and capable of floating by himself for some reason (?) everything’s Suddenly Fine Again. Except the world being in immediate danger, obviously. But here’s the thing (did I say that already? Well, there are 2 things)! For the remaining portion of the game this side of the end credits, Marie is just… holding Craig. As afore mentioned though, he can float. She doesn’t NEED to be holding him but she just is. Whether that’s because she’s happy to see her grandfather safe or whether something inside her soggy little brain saw something smaller than herself and told her to protect it is a mystery, but either way, that is some quality… body language… there…(again, lost my point. Weirdly, whenever I think about someone being held by Marie, I seem to lose focus. Huh.)

Anyway, here’s a picture of Marie holding Craig. Look at how she’s trying to engage him in something he could easily be left out of. Does this image not bring you joy???

Moving on briefly from all the Marie-talk, let’s talk a little Callie. I’m honestly thrilled about what they did with Callie’s body language in this game. She’s full of energy and quite hands-on, which is exactly how I expected her to be, even though this is pretty much the first time we see her physically interact with other characters in the entire Splatoon series. It just feels right.

It completely makes sense that Callie would spend the majority (why did that just autocorrect to Major Titty. Why.) of the pre-boss cutscene literally hanging off Marie’s arm, and the awesome thing about that is that Marie doesn’t pull away or look irritated by her cousin’s constant GRIPPING and SHAKING of her arm at all. I don’t know about you, but if I had someone attached to me like that while I was trying to think of a master plan, I’d be pretty annoyed. Unless, of course, it was Callie. I’m getting off track again here. My point WAS that Marie is so, so chill. I hate it when people try to portray her as angsty because she just… isn’t.

What all this body language shows is that Marie is a supportive, nurturing well of patience and ANYONE THAT SAYS OTHERWISE WILL BE FED TO THE BEASTS.

Which is WHY I think that during the scene where Craig is slightly rehydrated by the Captain’s tear, it would make way much more sense to have Marie reach out a hand to touch the Captain’s shoulder, or at least do something other than freezing there with an expression reminiscent of a damp, shocked cat. Now that Nintendo seems to have got their act together a little in terms of cutscenes, it would be nice to have more examples of characters (Marie. Marie is characters) using their body language to visually convey the finer points of their personality which may have been overlooked by some people *cough cough* Marie Trut-💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Struggling to find the point of this ‘argument’? So am I. What even is this? I’m not reading it back before I post it, that’s for sure. Gnight.

Adding “fem” to the list of sus urls.

wouldn't it be easier to just ignore narilamb instead of posting a daily rant about it in the main tags? at least censor it.

Ok so while I understand what you’re getting at I do need to stress the fact that it’s literally almost impossible to ignore Narilamb.

If I blocked the tag a solid chunk of posts would be filtered, more than a third of the ao3 fics are tagged narilamb and even the devs themselves pander to narilamb ( which I don’t rlly blame them bc it does boost engagement for em )

I think you underestimate how deeply entrenched Narilamb is in this fandom

[paul-situations-matthews]

I’ll be completely honest. M//ichie is one of those ships that I like. Actually kind of hate.

There’s just no way for it work unless you COMPLETELY rewrite everything about Max and tbh it makes him waaaaay less interesting.

[sincaraz]

hi! i've been a fan of tennis for a long time but only recently realized there's was a decent sized fandom here on tumblr for it. are there any blogs you'd recommend following?? i'm a nadal, alcaraz, and sinner fan with a soft spot for rune since he's very novak-like haha

okay this is basically going to be a list of all the tennis blogs I currently follow (if I miss someone I’m so so sorry my memory is terrible). some also post other sports or just other things in general

@auger-aliassisime @fedalev @hubillusion @charlitosalcaraz @jean--valswan @schumi-nadal @pain-to-my-auchocolat @andreyrubwehvs @jannlitos @igasaurus @allezassime @igasbagels @naomiosakas @wimbledon2008 @ruudnotto @yanniksin @jaagate @changeofends @thiembweh @elenarybakina @tennisdyke @candlelitutopia @caspersruud @mariasakkaris @tennis-shenanigans @rublenov @anapotapova @kodachromatics @game-set-canet @alcraz @secondserves

this is actually a long list but I think I’ve definitely missed people, if others have recommendations, definitely feel free to add to the list!

Don’t ask what prompted this

[bsdtakanenohana]

The actual canon relationship between Ch.uuya and Da.zai is a tragedy. It’s a “could have been, would have been, should have been (?)” situation. No, they were never actually friends. But they were so close to it. Things happened, some in either of their control, some not, but everything ending with the fact that now they will never make up for the time they had together as trusted partners who weren’t able to be friends. Now their relationship will never move forward and improve. They’ll always have each other’s backs in a fight, and a dislike for each other from a lack of understanding.

I feel like people wilfully ignore that sp*** only got his soul after he had a chip for two years. Pre chip, Spoke would never have chosen to get the soul. Pre chip he wouldn’t have even tried to change. It wouldn’t have even occurred to him to want to. Tiny bits of humanity aside, he was as evil as the rest of them, he just dressed cooler than most. He might not have been forced into getting a soul, but he was forced into changing enough to want to get one.
