Yknow sometimes I think about collecting more antique clothing to wear but then I remember that I'm 5'10" and ladies weren't that tall back then

Oh, they were! Just fewer of them (throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, average height fluctuated as low as 2" below the modern average, or as close to it as no difference at all). And their clothing is less likely to survive, because larger or longer garments could be more easily cut down to make clothing for smaller relatives and/or children. That's called "survivorship bias," and in clothing history, it's the reason small clothes tend to be overrepresented in museums. There are other factors, like formal milestones for which clothing might be a significant memento happening mostly early in life, when you're at your smallest adult size, but that's the most relevant one to your situation.

Also, don't feel too bad- a lot of antique clothing isn't wearable for not immediately obvious reasons. From concerns about silk "shattering," a form of damage that's literally unrepairable, to iron mordants in black dye making black garments fall apart faster over time, your best bet re: wearing antiques is to stick to things like undergarments and maybe blouses and outerwear. Sad but true.

Twig buffers for a minute at this revelation and then says “Well, duh. You’re super old. Of course it would take work to look like you’re not ready to keel over at any second.”

Celebi laughs so hard she completely ruins the wing she was drawing and Dusknoir sulks for the rest of the day.

FOUND IT! these are the ambition ending statistics from a few years back. they've probably changed by now but this is the nicest and clearest graph i can find for them. obvious major spoilers for all four fallen london ambitions under the cut

note that the nemesis resurrection endings are all listed separately even though functionally they're pretty much identical. and the absolutely miniscule amount of people that chose to spare veils the intriguer, apparently. cowards.

JeanPiku shippers, I have a thought to introduce:

Do they not somehow give JeanPiku vibes???

I am not an artist, but I give full permission to any AoT artists to use this idea. *falls on knees to beg you* please…give it to us…

The irony of an AI user telling people not to use the images they generated because it took “time and dedication” to create them…

Now you know how the artists whose artwork* has been fed into your little plagiarism machine feel.

*artwork that I guarantee took more time and dedication and skill than it took you to type a bunch of prompts

I 1000% don't mean this in a moral judgement manner, or saying ppl aren't allowed to like evil characters, or saying that silly fandom stuff means people don't take analysis/real world parallels/whatever seriously

But honestly I have yet to experience as emotionally/mentally jarring of an effect as I did hearing about MTMTE Megatron so positively from the fandom (best Megatron ever! best character in IDW1! sad grandpa! compelling character arc! tragic villain!) only to actually read MTMTE myself and go "This guy is so fucking annoying, self-righteous, insufferable, and an asshole, what are you people talking about." ladjskfjsdalfk

Like I get that Megatron can't go from fresh off a heel-face turn to being an actual hero, and believe me I know that ppl in this continuity are almost all flawed/jerks in some way. But MTMTE Megatron was a special breed of annoying to me like. It wasn't just "he did bad things so I dislike him." In fact, the moments where Megatron regressed closer to being his old self (such as massacring the DJD during Dying of the Light) were the moments I liked him the most.

I don't really know how to describe it, bc it's not the idea of Megatron being redeemed that bothers me (I love redemption Megatron), and I'm not one of those ppl who postures about how I don't like him because his crimes are evil IRL (I literally like villain Megatron more than I like Autobot Megatron). There are characters who have done things that I found shitty/annoying but didn't have a significant reaction to besides going "omg what a jerk (chews popcorn faster eager to read more drama)". It's literally just Megatron where I have this feeling of being viscerally annoyed/pissed at every other thing he says salkfjsdkaf

loml as the other pov (the one proposing) in champagne problems

if you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary, you and i go from one kiss to gettin married

you said i'm the love of your life about a million times / love slipped beyond your reaches

who's gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate / you booked the night train for a reason so you could sit there in this hurt

you took me to hell, too / your mom's ring in your pocket, my picture in your wallet, your heart was glass, i dropped it

a con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme, but i felt a hole like this, never before, and ever since / i never was ready, so i watch you go, sometimes you just don't know the answer 'til someone's on their knees and asks you

you shit-talked me under the table, talking rings and talking cradles, i wish i could un-recall how we almost had it all / how evergreen, our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again

dancing phantoms on the terrace, are they second-hand embarrassed, that i can't get out of bed? cause something counterfeit's dead / because i dropped your hand while dancing, left you out there standing

"i'll never leave" ... "never mind" / you won't remember all my champagne problems

but you'll find the real thing instead, she'll patch up your tapestry that i shred

You know how, in Practical Guide to Evil, Black's whole driving passion is the sheer unfairness of a world where the gods and providence are real and no matter how competent or canny you are you'll get fucked over by some shiny asshole with the worst possible timing in the world and more power than you could dream of?

TGAB is honestly making me sympathize with his position more passionately than Guide ever managed to.
