One thing I noticed only recently is the way Percy calls his father and how it's an indication of his storyline's progress throughout the books. Percy's whole character arc is about how he's doing ambition wrong; there's this undercurrent of judgement towards Percy's desire to be an accomplished professional and i think his language reflects that.

Percy has had a very formal way of speaking since the very first book, it's one of the main indicators that we're supposed to read him as a pompous party pooper, but we don't see him address his father until book 3, when jkr starts setting up the ministry plot:

(from PoA: Percy enjoys the treatment Arthur is getting from the ministry, foreshadowing his interest in climbing up the ministerial ladder)

I find the use of the word "Father" interesting: the most notable person we see use the term in the books is Draco, who is very much posh-coded.

(from PS, one of the very first things we come to know about Draco is how he addresses his father: this is a scene from Harry and Draco's first meeting)

A not insignificant facet of Draco's personality comes from how his elevated status in society has shaped him to be arrogant and dismissive of other people. Draco speaks like a Fancy Boy, with his "Father"s (always capitalised) and his insistence on calling most people (even his friends and housemates) by their last name.

Seeing Percy start to use the type of language we've been accustomed to see from posh boy extraordinaire Draco is jarring, and it primes us to start disliking him. As Percy's brief foray into the Evil side begins (basically From GoF onwards) Percy starts ramping up in his use of "Father":

and

and

but at the culmination of his story arc, when Percy is reunited with his family during the battle of Hogwarts, Percy switches to "dad":

This, again, mirrors Draco in that he also changes the way he addresses his father when he's at his most emotional

and I find this very interesting.

Just rewatched Sonic 3 in Latin Spanish because its my first language and that's how I first watched the movie in theaters. Anyway, the phone call where Robotnik fires Stone is even more heartbreaking because it ends with him saying, "Just so you know, I never liked your lattes". I legit gasped because I didn't remember that, like they really twisted the knife with that.

Robotnik genuinely wanted to hurt Stone's feelings for trying to break what he thought was a real relationship between him and Gerald in this version. Though, it adds another emotional layer for his last message. Him saying, "I love the way you make them" is also an apology for lying about it earlier. He was letting him know that this is how he truly feels, and earlier was a mistake.

Don’t know if it’s against the rules to complete TWO egg projects. However I’m learning to become a silversmith and I’ve finished my first ring. It’s not perfect at all, but many hours of time and effort and a whole lot of learning are in it!

aaah is that labradorite? my favorite!

You can certainly pelt Killie with another egg, you've been such a good friend to him that you deserve to get him with an ostrich egg.

But in all seriousness that's a lovely ring, and you've been extremely busy this month, encouraging others, showing kindness and progressing your own creative works. Well done.

Prompt: Steph's baby meets Ace the Bat Hound

I don't know how long it's been since you sent this, anon, but here's Allie and Ace (instant best friends) and, as a bonus for the wait, Allie and Bruce (she hates him) (or maybe she's just teething) (Steph thinks it's funnier to think she hates him).

Both Glenn and Jodie are aware they have the same names as famous actresses. However, while Glenn finds it humorous and embraces this fact, Jodie has done his best to distance himself from it.

One of my favorite things to do when people come to the house for the first time is to show off the letter opener, which looks like a tanto.

Why is this important to me?

I collect blades. The big ones are on display, and the small ones are hidden throughout the house. Seriously, if you open a drawer you’re likely to find anything from a pocket knife to a hatchet. So, friends get shown where things are as a precaution. And cuz I think they’re pretty.

And while I’m in the middle of pointing things out, I just whip out that letter opener. And it just throws everyone off. :)

[ID: Digital art featuring a fan-made kid for Apollo Justice and Klavier Gavin from the Ace Attorney series. The first drawing is their ref, depicting a 16 yr old with colorfully dyed hair and sunglasses perched on their head, two overlaid jackets, and torn jeans. Following that is a lineup of the Justice Family, including Apollo Justice, Klavier Justice, Anupa Erith Justice, Camile Dance Justice, and some pets such as Spätzle the ball python, Mikeko the calico, and Vongole the golden retriever. Next is a concept drawing of older Camile and Anupa, with Camile being 28 and Anupa 13- biggest changes include Camile getting a mohawk, growing to 6 ft 4 inch, and Anupa getting an aeronautical engineering inspired outfit. The final image details various Camile mannerisms and emotions, which are shown to be inspired by various pre-existing Ace Attorney characters. End ID]

Btw, if you ever see me post about a book/movie/game/ANYTHING, that is an open invitation to talk to me about it. Tell me your opinions, talk to me about your builds and characters for video games, scream at me about good or bad scenes in books, shows, or movies. (Or if there’s a book/movie/game/whatever that you think I’d like, TELL ME. Please give me recs.) There is nothing in the world I love more than talking about media of any kind (except for talking about my OCs but I know that’s a harder ask.)

Also, PLEASE tell me about your dnd characters. Make them in the sims and tag me in the post. Infodump and tag me. Infodump in my DMs. Ask for my Discord and message me there. I mean it. I am on my knees BEGGING for people to talk to me about not just things I love, but things YOU love.

Send me an ask (anon is ALWAYS on), a DM, ask for my Discord, anything. I swear on everything I hold dear that asks or DMs are never w bother. (/gen)

I’m always down to discuss plot, characters, mechanics, worldbuilding, any of it. TTRPGs/CRPGs and sci-fi/fantasy books + movies are the center of my wheelhouse, but honestly I just love having in-depth discussions about things. (Oh and I could (and have, much to my friends and family’s dismay) talk for HOURS about Black Sails.)

@dysfunctionalburden first of all, I love your tag novels, thank you so much for them, you just made the rest of my week

Second of all, this particular tag absolutely sent me because I'm just like. "Welcome to the Snuggly Duckling, we've got gnomes, manotaurs, occasionally a hawktopus stuck in the chimney flue, lumberjacks, a couple of identical kids who look freakishly like the current king's grandson, and Smile Dip on tap. Oh, also the feral boyband. We've had three musical numbers in the last week. Oh also the bear"

Now I know how everyone settled into "I've Got a Dream," so seamlessly, though, that was always funny to me (even with the whole Disney musical requirements logic). Like. did they do recitals or. ?

(Mabel is delighted at the impromptu musical numbers)

("Hey, my dad does those too! Never figured out how he got all those candles to light up blue though. Hey where'd you get the disco lights I need some of those")

one of my favorite Akihiro bits is that he gets. SO mad when people imply he's insane or compare him to people like Bullseye or Sabretooth or his dad and acts like he's super calm and always in control when the reality is that in a fight if something doesn't go his way he IMMEDIATELY loses his cool and starts going apeshit violent. Like okay sure you're not like your father. Sure.
