i find big buff traditional hollywood celebrity alpha dave in a suit to be handsome like everyone else but i can't help but think of him as this scrawny eccentric socially awkward dude extremely dedicated to nothing except his abstract radical performance art. fans develop images of him but there's nothing of himself he deliberately puts out into the world besides his projects. no real friends, no lovers. fronts and fake personas galore. isn't trying to waste his time and emotion on people he'll lose anyway. that kinda thing

That last ask got me wondering, will we have a chance to talk about our mother with our ro in book 2?

There will be, but just as a word of caution, it won't be too soon, and it won't be with all the details on the table. Romanu's past and how closed off they are about it is a cannon trait of the character and not something the reader can overrule.

But you can influence how soon, if at all, you talk about her.

The first person you can speak of your mother openly, curiously, won't be Hadrian or Alessa.

Why do I feel like while Rose is experiencing her first ✨Traumatic✨ doctor/unit thing (aka the end of the world) Fourteen and Donna have gone off on a besties weekend to some spa planet just chilling

Donna:you think Rose will be okay alone at work?

Fourteen: course it's Unit! It's the safest most secure place on your planet second only to my TARDIS.

Donna: I just keep worrying, going off like this...being unreachable yknow?

Fourteen: Nah, that's just parental Jitters you got to let her spread her wings, fly, learn to cope on her own all that other stuff people say. Besides, we deserve this.

Donna: your right. As you say when she's not home she's at unit, what's the worst that could happen?

Swap Discord's prompt of the day was coffee shop AU, so I made a cute little scene. Don't worry too much about Akira and Persephone existing at once lol.

"The newly widowed Elizabeth (Woodville) was exceptionally vulnerable. Several of the trustees responsible for her jointure refused to hand over the manors that were meant to sustain her in her widowhood. Moreover, her brother-in-law, Edward Grey, had seized estates that her son Thomas should have inherited from his paternal grandfather, while her mother-in-law’s new young husband, Sir John Bourchier, had prevailed on Lady Ferrers to settle her principal properties on them jointly for life, ensuring that Thomas would have to wait far longer for this inheritance too. Rivers and Scales were pardoned in July 1461 and swiftly moved into the Yorkist establishment, which perhaps explains the success of the chancery suits Elizabeth launched to regain her jointure. Her son’s inheritance proved harder to recover. By 1463, Rivers was often in (Edward IV's) company and on his council, but Elizabeth needed someone with much stronger influence over the King. She turned to a distant kinsman, William, Lord Hastings, the King’s chamberlain. Hastings drove a very hard bargain for his aid but it was probably amid these negotiations that the King’s desire for Elizabeth was kindled."

Love love how milgram uses interesting colors to substitute blood. Maybe later I collect some screenshots, but it's just cool seeing it all white, crayon scribble texture, electric green, honey-gold, and bright orange.

If I'm remembering correctly, only Bring it On, MeMe, INMF, Cat, (and just barely Purge March) show real, red blood.

Idk it just really drives home the sense of avoiding/feeling responsibility for the death depending on which type is used and I love it

i love you chappell roan 🤑🤑🤑

That moment when you wake from a dream and feel as though you had been kissed by a spirit

Pre-relationship 4-6 for the Mario Bros.! (Or your favorite of those questions if you only want one haha)

Yes!!! More Mario Bros ramble!!! Blessed!! Thankyou!!

4. Who felt romantic feelings first?

Hard to say, sense they've always been like this. There's not a specific moment either of them could go back to and say when they fell in love, they've always loved eachother, you know?

Though Luigi was the first to recognize these feelings as romantic, and different than how he loved, say, their mom and dad, and that that was something important. Mario didn't think it mattered what kind of love they had, their mama had taught them Love is Love, so what does it matter, right?

This happened when they were like 7.

5. Did either of them try to resist their feelings?

Maybe not quiet resist, but Mario did consider it for a while.

Around middle school-ish age, 12 or 13, their mom sat the brothers down to explain the difference between Familial and Romantic love, and why that difference was important, kind of assuming they didn't really know the difference in their emotions yet.

The whole thing made Mario feel awful. He'd made his mother worry, his father angry, and worst of all he, the older brother, put Luigi on the line for his own selfish reasoning.

The only reason he didn't fully withdrawal from Luigi and stew in an early sea of self deprecation was Luigi rubbing it in Mario's face that he was right, that the love he has for Mario and the love he has for the rest of their family is different. He did an "I Told You So" dance and everything. He was right and Mario was wrong ha ha ha ha ha!

So yeah. Mario considered resisting his feelings for all of about 20 minutes before Luigi snapped him out of it, and reminded him why that would simply never work. Not for them.

6. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

Mario doesn't believe in soulmates, he's a simple guy and not all that romantic in the grand scheme sense. Luigi on the other hand is all about Cosmic Connection and the "Over and Over again, life after life, I will find you, and I fall in love with you again and again" kind of cheesy nonsense. He'd be over the moon about it.

So much for reuniting with Jaune with him wearing an Alice-Quslity blue dress

This is kind of like when Finn cameoed in Obsidian
