Various doodles of the Dorito Twins.

I just like to play with them like dolls and put them into situations.

another reason i think that xie lian felt an instant connection on the ox cart is because he and hua cheng both grew up in xianle.

there are maybe 4 people still alive that grew up in that culture. based on my own experience, you can pick up on things like accent, cadence, references, and humor that suggest a person is from the same place as you without consciously noticing it. that sense of comfort and similarity probably played into their instant chemistry.

6: Tch

7: Not yet.....?

Pag 14

9: And Manami-kun's ranks are choosing to ride on the right side very close to the guardrail

10: On the mountain, the pack

Pag 19

1: when it's time to turn a series of zigzags, temporarily stretches vertically

If it's a left turn then the cyclists on the left will take the lead, and if it's a right turn then the cyclists on the right will do that

3: From the course map it says that from the next curve the slope will slightly increase

4: It's just a conjecture, but

5: I think Manami-kun will move there

So he's waiting

For the most advantageous position for jumping forward

Pag 20

1: the next right curve!!

Pag 21

1: Manami?

2: He's going to jump forward!?

3: At the next right curve!!

Pag 25

1: Manami jumped forward!! Here!?

Huuh!?

From the lead of the vertical line!!

He opened a gap too large to close in an instant!!

2: He really jumped forward!!

3: Hakogaku' Manami is pushing on

4: I'm going to accelerate at full throttle!!

Go, Onoda-kun!!

Observations of the people of Limsa Lominsa: The Arcanists in Action.

[maryse127]

When I first got into Star Wars at age 15/16 the prequels were like the funny meme films. I did realise Episode III is actually a good movie even back then, but I don't think I ever really could take it serious. As good and enjoyable as I thought that movie was, it was still one of the funny meme movies before anything else. I didn't really care about Anakin that much because well, Episode I and II being Like That.

Fast forward to me getting really into Clone Wars at 19/20. Binge watching Clone Wars and Rebels got me through the first months of the pandemic. Suddenly these characters mean something to me beyond being funny. Anakin Skywalker is suddenly one of my favorite Star Wars characters. How did this happen?

And now here I am, 25, just got home from seeing Revenge of the Sith in cinema for the first time ever. And I am a Mess. How did I never truly feel the tragedy of this movie until now? Probably helps I don't have "I don't like sand" Anakin anywhere in my recent memory. Today he was not the meme guy. He is a very young and tragic boy who I just want to hug and tell everything will be alright. Even tho it won't be.

Rummaging around my house and i got jumpscared

[sea-changed]

oh you cannot make this shit up

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

as someone who has most of my dragon-related fandom experience in dragonriders of pern, which necessarily has a complex relationship with its author, i would like to lean on your thoughts for a question on a different dragon media.

does the eragon fandom have meta about what counts as canon? ex. from interviews, from the illustrated guidebook, and so on. does it have a history of interpretation?

im gonna be honest I was never in the Eragon fandom, I've read the books when I was too young to have internet access and now only returned to Eragon after learning that my friend has read it too, so my "fandom" is really just the two of us brainrotting about it together and posting our thoughts on tumblr

What would the shorts be in your AU? I think it be a live demonstration of how someone (Mr meteor) is integrated into the hivemind and how it's "safe" and "the right thing to do"- basically propaganda. but things keep messing up

wander's not like. super public with the cult the way hater is with his empire in the show, so i don't know whether he'd be airing something like that across the galaxy. hater's got like. totally negative charisma, especially when he's being recorded, and yet he continues recording himself, and i think that's a trait meteor would still share with him. mr meteor is very much like metroman of megamind to me, also, where he quits his life of fame & glory to become a nobody, but he still has that streak of like. craving the kind of attention a rockstar gets as opposed to the superhero/king treatment.

so i imagine the shorts would be like. meteor's vlogs on his youtube or something. and he's starting a series called Inside Planet Yonder or whatever where he sets up a camera in an unassuming place and does little dances for the camera until he gets caught. like a prank show or something, but very benign and mildly annoying as opposed to antagonistic. this does require the shorts to take place before wander is redeemed, but honestly, the timeline in this au is so scrambled when you try to put it up against the show itself (which is already crammed into two very short seasons) anyway
