You know the happy ghast update? When looking at the footage of it, I saw it had gills of some kind and realized that it’s probably similar to a axolotl with having its kinda ‘gills’ being able to show and breath properly cause there’s moister in the air in the over world and it’s probably shows that it’s healthy that it’s able to breath properly than when it’s dried. So the ghast probably is struggling to breath from the dry air so it’s lungs are probably hurting everytime it has to be in the nether with its dry and horribly hot climate.

Get my boy some water😭 they don’t deserve this.

GUYS I THINK THE BIRDS IVE BEEN FEEDING HAVE STARTED GIVING ME OFFERING?? ITS HAPPENING

I don't have a feeder so instead I just have a big ass bag of birdseed in my car, chunk a handful outside my trunk, do a little whistle, and go inside.

Today??? I start walking and literal inches from where I feed them are two of the fattest earthworms I've ever seen. Which- two problems here

One?? These big ass earthworms never end up on the concrete around my area so already "huh that's weird"

TWO?? IT HASNT RAINED.

Anyways I'm now a proud mother and shall accept my mud pie esk offerings <33

Man that episode would’ve been good if this show gave me a reason to give a shit about Heather

[kalicocal]

apart from the verbal sparring and the visual implication of the parted curtains, what i enjoyed about this scene is how ambessa truly writes caitlyn off as someone she can completely manipulate.

we are familiar with ambessa's 'blood for blood' mentality when it comes to family and, in some way, that is true for caitlyn especially in the first act. but now that all things are said and done, caitlyn wavers and ambessa senses this, too; the conviction is there but the resolve requires fuel. so ambessa stokes the fire, literally and figuratively, choosing the words 'anger' and 'sorrow' to remind caitlyn what she should feel, appealing to caitlyn's grief yet again.

the problem is, ambessa sees too much of herself in caitlyn that she underestimates caitlyn's talent for deduction. and that is clear in ambessa's reaction in the end of the act.

i know we have our reservations against caitlyn but i think we can somewhat agree that her mind, when put to work in things unrelated to autocracy, is simply brilliant.

Went to look at a jacket I’ve wanted for ages that would be a slightly bigger purchase. Checked my bank account to see if I could swing it and was like. Ah. I was having a little laugh, there, I cannot afford such a thing.

Maybe next year.

So how long do we think the dried ghasts have been there. If they need water, they sure as hell didn’t get it in the Nether. And yet some ghasts do still float around, un-parched. How long have the parched ones been preserved there? Do you think they remember a time before the Nether was hell, when it had water and life and was beautiful in a less morbid way? Or were they too young, and now they are left relics of a past long beyond recall?

Thinking about Pathapi's character in The Ex-Morning

I understand that the original script has been revised a lot from what it sounds like, and as such the original pilot and plot synopsis aren’t that reliable as to understanding what will be in the final show. So this is less of a theory on what the show will contain and more some reflections about what the series might be like based off what we have been told. But I have some thoughts I wanted to discuss!

I think that Pathapi will reconnect with his younger self’s dreams and ideals as he reconnects with Tamtawan, who he shared this with. Specifically, I think he’ll regain a passion for hands-on, ethical journalism and reporting on important issues that aren’t necessarily the best for straightforward career advancement and his image. With this reconnection to his younger self, he also falls back in love with Tamtawan.

In the scene where we first meet Pathapi, he’s speaking about celebrity gossip (greatly different from the on-the-field reporting he does later in the trailer) and leaves out a part which Aou’s character brings up. He seems to care more about a flashy headline/what is most immediately click worthy when it comes to the news.

In the synopsis, it says: Pathaphee wanted to know the reason why Tamtawan broke up with him. But the truth he found out that he stole his critique of journalism and used it to apply for a scholarship at an overseas university. He was accepted to the university because of his work.

Specifically, it mentions Pathapi critiquing journalism. Then, perhaps, did younger Pathapi have a strong sense of ideals regarding journalism and what it meant (as well as a push to change the current state of journalism?). Maybe the heartbreak and initial failed interview, along with his work being stolen, is what made Pathapi lose sight of these ideals and instead turn to solely focusing on career achievement. When interrupted, he cares less about the content of the extra information and the importance of it in doing good journalism and more about being interrupted.

Later in the trailer, while working with Tamtawan, he’s told, “You need to make them see you care about them.” 

Maybe Pathapi comes to genuinely care about these communities once more, after having lost his care about doing work for greater ideals. He goes from pretending he cares about them back to how he once was, in genuinely caring about people and reporting for them. This, then, would tie into the mafia plot.

The mafia plot is unclear in its specifics (from the photographs of Pathapi injured and the video of the couple running away, it seems to be in the final product as well, however) but what I do find intriguing about the idea of the synopsis saying: The ex-lovers need to work together to find the real criminal behind their case and their true feelings for each other is that I think it fits into this narrative.

Perhaps Pathapi and Tamtawan reporting on this case even when it’s dangerous, then, ties into the idea of caring more about reporting as it comes to how they can help/prevent the harm being done to people. This, then, would tie into Pathapi getting an award at the end. An award for uncovering and investigating a truly large case. While it is also the moment of Pathapi’s reputation damage being shown as fixed (which is so important to the premise) this would more specifically be the climactic moment of Pathapi's arc because he comes to succeed again thanks to the ideals that he once pushed away in order to succeed.

I also think that the mafia investigation began before Pathapi and Tamtawan broke up, and that the danger of it is part of why 1) the mafia partly ruined Pathapi’s interview and 2) why Tamtawan left him. They return to their original feelings about each other and their passion for reporting! @thebroccolination talks about the innocence in Pathapi and Tamtawan’s initial college relationship and the meta-textual element to that in regards to Krist and Singto.

I think that this progression of the characters in relation to their careers would also tie into the idea of returning to that time! Because they fell in love during their college years, returning to being by each other’s side brings back the same emotions as back then. And when we think about Krist and Singto reuniting and how the same feelings are still there but now with their more matured selves… very exciting.

Again, a lot has changed since the original pilot, and I’m not sure if the information I’m using here in regards to specifics continues on in the finished product, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the plot.

(Also. Another big thing about Pathapi I’d like to think about is that he is probably the top. Which is not related to the rest of my post, but which I adore. So if you want to talk about that…)

ohhhhhh my god saltydkdan comic about my 2 favorite sonic characters???? This comic is fantastic, the ending text is such a punch to the gut (/pos) i'm gonna be blubbering about this for the rest of the day. i feel like this comic really understands shadow and his character better than sega has for years (with a few exceptions like in The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog where Shadow's characterization is actually kinda good.) thank you to everyone involved for making this, as a huge Shadow fan this type of stuff is wonderful to see.

I wrote a comic about Shadow the Hedgehog!!

sorry for the drawtectives reblog spam lol i've been watching the show and it's SOOOOOOO GOOD OUGHHH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH (i'm currently watching episode 6 of celestial spear)

it's actually SO peak

it's absolutely hilarious, but also genuinely REALLY compelling! i'm genuinely so intrigued by the mystery in season 2 and i love the ominous vibe that hides underneath all of the silly shenanigans! the art is also FANTASTIC (especially in season 2) so far, julia absolutely killed it with all of the backgrounds and character portraits :D

i keep pausing just to read posters and look at other such details in the backgrounds lol

also i am. SO NORMAL ABOUT GRANDMA AND EUGENE....

don't get me wrong i absolutely ADORE all of them ofc ofc but those two are my favorites so far ‼️

i just have so many thoughts about themmmm

as an any pronouns user, seeing grendan/grandma's journey through figuring out their identity develop throughout season 1 was SOOOO amazing and deeply relatable; as silly as this may sound, i felt VERY seen by the funny dog-walking dwarf feller (gender neutral)

ok and. augh..... EUGENE... OUR COLLECTIVE PERFECT SON 💖he's sooooo silly and head-empty i love it, and the drawtectives immediately just deciding "yup. he's our son now." was hilariousssss

but also. WHO IS HEEEEEEEEE... that newspaper art looked so intimidating, all the non-portrait art of him is soooo ominous, i'm genuinely so intrigued to find out what all that stuff about him and the unnamed hypnotist is about...

if eugene turns out to have been evil or something i'll be so sad 😭
