I wish the haters would learn to research. David Birkin wasn't a spy. He was a navigator in a 2nd WW Royal Navy Unit which took spies across the Channel. Not some brainwashing psy-ops operative.

But I suppose if the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail.

horribly curious because I've seen lots of different takes on this and I'd like to know what the general consensus is

Mentioned prior, but in the Dr. Scraptrap AU, Mimic happens to exist—being a ‘failed’ experiment of the rabbit that he just happened to lock away.

At some point, Mimic would end up breaking free, and start causing trouble for the group—and at that point, Dr. Scraptrap just... forgot about him.

Also up until the Mimic situation, Dr. Scraptrap happened to have both his arms.

He only loses one during his encounter with Mimic.

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,

if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."

i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,

i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

Thunderweave where Gale stays in bg to help Rolan rebuild the shop + they dance around their giant obvious crushes on each other for weeks until they finally end up kissing. Somehow they manage to still misunderstand each other for another week or two.

Gale dropping a stack of books because Rolan rolled his sleeves up and exposed his forearms. Gale noticing Rolan forgets to eat when he’s wrapped up in a project or really busy so he starts leaving lovingly prepared meals on his desk at regular intervals.

i don't really like confessions blogs because i feel like they just fuel the fire for fandom discourse but ngl i agree with pretty much everything that's been posted on the is*t one so far so i'm okay with it for now lol 👍

shogun (book) does the 'characters speaking in multiple languages' thing the best ive ever seen its so fuckign. the 'defaults' are typically either portugese or japanese and so those are written normally, with the exception that the japanese we hear from blackthornes perspective is either unintelligible (not direct quotes) or short words and phrases that he picks up (things like wakarimasuka and kinjuru are written just like that, and we the english reader learn what they mean as blackthorne does, so dont need translations evey time). japanese when heard from a japanese character's perspective is written in normal english, because its still the default, its their first, usually only, language. but it gets funky when youre speaking, say, latin, which they do sometimes. because blackthorne knows it fluently, but its not his first language (though neither is portugese) and its not the one he uses the most. so its written recognizably to us, an english-speaking reader, but in a way that makes it clear it is NOT portugese (default). so its written in this kind of old-englishy very elaborate style, with thees and thous and -ith at the ends of verbs and even just a different grammatical structure than normal english. "who giveth the sign? with importance it should be given quickly." <- not a sentence that comes naturally to english but it is A: recognizable as of the meaning and B: clearly Different. it signals theyre speaking latin even when the whole book is written in English and i think its NEAT

I would like to remind anyone who cares (Because I totally forgot) that in Dawn Treader when Eustace gets turned into a dragon, he doesn't know what a dragon is

He's "read all the wrong books" and has to pick up the word from hearing the others use it

the sometimes the dice tell a story and the story our dice have been consistently telling over the past twenty sessions is that Key, our very wise, elder queer, punk-rock wizard/warlock who should be very good at such things has ZERO gaydar.

are there any ranma pairings you ship other than ranmaxakane? Why or why not?

if you mean in general, i like ukyo/konatsu, ryoga/akari (tho ryoga needs to get his act together), and nabiki/kuno too bc i think it'd be funny. also i do not care who kasumi ends up with, if anyone, but the egg catcher man ep made me go "she has two hands. if she wants two boyfriends then she deserves it for having to give up her childhood for her sisters"

if you mean specifically with ranma or akane.......... i like some ships but only one-sided. i like the idea of kodachi having a crush on akane and acting the way she does with ranma just to get her attention. i like ukyo having a soft spot for akane too and being like "okay ranma i get it now" after spending some time w her

ummmmm............ i'm not sure i ship literally anyone else w ranma lmao like i might have said one sided ranryo a year ago but i'm so over ranryo nowadays IM SORRY GAY BOYS FOR GIVING U NOTHING

One of my baseless predictions is that a lot of the trad wife influencers with millions of views and followers are going to reveal in 5 years that they were quietly saving some of the money they make from brand deals and TikTok views to get away from their husbands

Mad and angry at how these two joke side characters try so hard to be heteronormative but they really aren't and that's where most of their misery comes from. not all of it but most of it, like it very much keeps them in the cycle, because they seem desperate to find a happy storybook ending and this is how they think they'll find it, by trying to be like the same characters that found that happiness. its never addressed but also painfully obvious with how much they don't fit in with the other npcs dear god these characters are queer coded to hell i could write an essay (i accidentally did)

its not even like bretta and zote are straight cis characters these two are bi and aro canonically but its more to do with the gender roles they're trying to replicate, and failing. they suck at it. he is not this emotionally stoic resilient lone knight he is in fact continuously fighting his emotional pain and if you give him the right attention he will stay forever. he'll get angry that you saved him or that he needed your help because YOU dont fit in his story. she's not a forgiving accepting loving damsel in distress she can take care of herself great and will also drop you like a hat if she sees even one flaw in you. because then YOU dont fit her story either. they care so much about their stories because they reinforce the identity they think they're supposed to have but they're also so disconnected with themselves BECAUSE of these gender roles that they dont realize it makes them miserable

the biggest cause for this is that they are lonely isolated individuals and dont understand or know enough about real people so they have to go off their storybooks and it only keeps them alone. its like you have to be stubborn about saving them and staying by their side so they can get that chance to change and thats exactly what the knight does. its stubborn as hell it will save them again and again and it will fight their dumbass crushes as many times as it takes to make them realize what they're doing is painful. and bretta gets that chance, she leaves the town that isolated her and goes to find something better, most importantly she gets experience. zote gets to stay alive, which is the best thing you can do for him. because now he might get to face his pain, whereas in death he never gets to overcome it, just escape it

its also very funny that when the game pushes them together in this fake relationship its purposely depicted as completely ridiculous and an obvious parody and you also have the chance to beat it to the ground multiple times. whereas the two more meaningful love stories that you get to help happen are mlm and wlw and completely unapologetic about it this game is GAY

so wait… furina is the name of the archon role that “furina” had to play

wouldn’t make more sense narrative wise to give her a name of her own?? like scara gets his own epic chapter about him ridding himself of his past and adopting a new name then proceed to ignore said name in favor of “hat guy” but the actress playing “furina” doesn’t get to be known for her own name?

like people of fontain (partly maybe) know the truth so why not let her free? let her enjoy the simple human life she so so longed for? even the other furina wouldn’t want this

One more paragraph to go! I realized that I had put into the first paragraph information that made more sense later on, so shifting things around got some thoughts moving and rekindled my desire to fistfight some of these authors of retellings, which I think is where you're supposed to be emotionally as an academic (this is a joke. I am joking.), so...progress. Very slowly.
