What fucks me up about I Can't Help But Wonder is that Odysseus, the man who has had the longest 20 years in known history, took one look at his grown up son and still said "how time has flown". Like. That just strikes me as such a PARENT thing to say, you know?
#like he was there with his son in his thoughts the whole time#he must've had thoughts like 'Telemachus must've taken his first steps by now' all the time for 20 years#'Telemachus can probably read by now'#'Telemachus has to shave now'#and that must've dragged on and on in his head all the time he was away#making his journey even longer emotionally#and then he finally gets to see his son again#a young man#and he's like whoa#time really moved quickly#and there's just something about that that's both heartbreaking and strangely... soothing#if that makes sense#anyway#epic the musical#epic the ithaca saga

Papercraft commission of Sheena and Zelos from Tales of Symphonia! This one was quite elaborate with all the flying costume elements, cards and lightning magic, as well as interesting facial expressions and poses; I had SUCH a blast putting on the game soundtrack and getting down to work!
#tales of symphonia#sheena fujibayashi#zelos wilder#papercraft#papercutting#paper art#traditional art#my art#when I'm commissioned for fanart I try to research the series/game/etc. to get a better feel for the characters#like reading the opening chapters of a book or watching the first few episodes of a show#for this one I did an additional step:#looked up early 2000s AMVs on YouTube#NOBODY can communicate RABID LOVE for a ship the way AMV makers armed with intense pop ballads do and I STAND BY THAT STATEMENT#how better to understand the PASSION??

having a coworker in recovery when you're in early sobriety is so beautiful and i really hope we get to see that kind of team-up between langdon and mckay in season 2. so much potential for some really great moments between two characters that didn't interact much in season 1.
#langdon heading to the nearest meeting after his first shift back is over#and mckay is outside smoking or inside setting up#bc i Know she does service#and ofc they're shocked to see each other#but mckay plays it off rly well bc that's a skill you learn in the program#and she gets him a cup of coffee and hands him something to read#maybe how it works?#ugh the Potential for good accurate 12 step rep#my brain is tingling#dr langdon#frank langdon#dr mckay#cassie mckay#the pitt#me.txt

The soul of Wicked is randomly inventing extremely elaborate relationships between characters who barely interact at all in canon. Also Fiyero is here.
#I am never drawing Fiyero that detail again but I must admit he is slaying#Also double jointed Fiyero feels so obvious but ive never heard anyone else say it#wicked#wicked movie#wicked 2024#wizard of oz#oz books#land of oz#fiyero tigelaar#boq woodsman#wicked boq#general jinjur#art#digital art#fanart#OK so initially the thought was just that Jinjur had Boq basically kidnapped as a court jester for her amusement#I needed to figure out where to put him since Wicked ends so differently from the book and we dont really know where he goes after the movi#And. Ill be honest having him kidnapped by yet another female dictator felt cosmically funny. Man cannot stop getting into situations.#also it felt mildly less depressing then the other option which was him rotting alone in the woods until people found him#At first it was just gonna be like ooooo she treats him bad and yells go white boy go and threatens to rust him into a statue if he doesnt#Which is still basically accurate. But then I read something on her wiki. And I realized. She is a munchkin too.#That combined with the hc that munchkins have big families meant the next step was obvious. I. should make them related.#They are cousins and Boq feels kinda responsible for not saving her like he promised he would even tho he was just a kid#and he kinda didnt have that option when he was running away to Shiz#So like even tho the whole dictator thing is kinda giving him flashbacks he wants to make sure she doesnt become another Nessa 'cause of hi#Also idk if her age was ever actually stated in the book but I was under the impression she was a teenager just a little older than Tip

Dungeon Meshi actually changed my whole relationship with food. I had already seen food as various types of nutrition (rather than “good” and “bad” food) but this story helped me realize that even stuff I dislike can be made to taste good. I used to hate onions and mushrooms, but all the good stuff about them turns into a delicious sauce when you use them in stir fry! Veggies cooked in grease aren’t robbed of their nutrition! I eat what my body craves and I’ve truly never felt better! I’ve even lost a lot of weight because of it! Many have pondered what sets humans apart from any other creature in the world and I think it’s a good meal.
One of the things that helped us evolve to where we are is indeed cooking!
Might come as a surprise that even tho I'm a Dungeon Meshi fan my nutrition wasn't really fixed by reading it (no good advice Senshis in this head of mine) I've been a picky eater for a while now cause I have texture issues but recently I started cooking more for myself, and honestly? Game changer
There's no point trying to force yourself to enjoy certain foods cause if you don't like it you wont eat it. I hate carrots cause the texture is mushy and the taste is weird and the smell is bad. Know what's not smelly mushy or weird? Carrots on fried rice
There's many ways to cook food, try out things similar to what you know you enjoy if you're someone picky like me. The important thing is to eat a variety of proper food and make it in a way you'll actually eat (Just like Senshi did for Izutsumi instead of forcing her to eat the way he wanted). A vegetable eaten with sauce is more nutritional than a vegetable you don't eat!
I'm no nutritionist but yeah, you'd be surprised at the variety of things you're actually willing to eat when cooked the right way. And congrats on feeling better!
Just adding my usual disclaimer that weight loss/gain isn't an indicator of health in itself, prioritizing eating well and acquiring healthy habits rather than focusing on a certain physical result is key in my experience. Let's all strive to feel good and care for our bodies!
#About Cyan#Im probably not the only one who didnt get a motivational senshi telling you to eat well after reading dunmeshi#sometimes you know what has to be done but its hard to take the first step#i got pushed into cooking for myself daily but honestly its fufilling#and i get way less fussy about food i made myself#cw food

Anyway, if you're a fan of Bruce and Steph having a father/daughter relationship you should probably go read about Oliver and Mia.
#maybe i'm over stepping a little because I've only had Mia and Oliver for about three days#but I have read Green Arrow 2001 issues 1-46 in that time#and it really feels like they have the dynamic certain sections of fandom want Steph and Bruce to have#stephanie brown#bruce wayne#oliver queen#mia dearden#green arrow#speedy ii#spoiler#batman#robin iv#batgirl iii#listen#every couple of months someone makes a post about Steph telling Bruce she needs tampons/pads#and Bruce going overboard buying one of everything because he doesn't know what she likes#that's not Bruce Wayne#Bruce Wayne would probably go buy something#but he would also stay on the phone with her the whole time so he can lecture her about not being prepared#which is why Steph would never ask him to do it#there are so many other people she would ask first#but Mia and Oliver?#Yeah that's they're dynamic#Mia would 100% ask him to grab something on the way home#and he would come home several bags of over priced menstrual products#muttering the whole time about microplastics and unsafe chemicals#but also he bought the cheap ones too because he's not sure what exactly she likes#and her comfort matters more than his grips with chemical waste (though he'll never admit that) (she knows anyway)

Isolde event in A Series of Dusks? Is this new? I haven't encountered this before:



#the illustration kinda scared me a little when I first saw it. if I was semmelweis I'd genuinely thought I just stepped into a horror movie#also I'm having a lot of fun with the expansion. gonna read the artefacts' descriptions & play around with the stress mechanic for a while#reverse 1999#isolde#a series of dusks#r1999📖

Your post about Senku being a Gen hater is pure gold, because it's so funny and true. Senku darling, why are you so obsessed with a fake magician? Because that's the real question, why would Gen in particular bother you when there were many similar people in the entertainment world in his time, why not just ignore him and move on? But no, Senku read his books just to criticize him and call him a fake in the stone world, I know you said that Gen's attitude maybe bothers him because it clashes with his own extremely honest personality, but the truth is that just like you said, Senku has no problem with Gen lying and manipulating as long as he's on his side.
omg anon EXACTLYYY! u put my tags/thoughts in such a perfect way THANK YOUU
like lmao yeah senku was SO not amused about being lied and manipulated to. not that he was ever fully a victim of gen's scams but he didn't like it regardless. held that strong negative opinion throughout 3700+ years senku is a #real hater



but then gen starts to turn the manipulation onto others for senku's sake...

(of course, while still making sure to call gen a fraud in his head here though)
and suddenly they're reading each other's minds and scamming other people together






like ??? u've GOT to be kidding me bro be fr
#i love how it's also undeniable that senku has read gen's book and gen immediately clock him for it#like ooo u've read my book? how wonderful!#bc senku wasn't even looking at his lab mates when his lab mate recited gen's book the first time#so he didnt intially see gen's face on the cover not gen's name#and yet he recognised gen's face and remembers gen's full name#in a premitive world where– quoting senku himself– last names hold no meaning#okaaaay my dude#and to constantly call it trash he must've given it a full read bc i doubt he'd form a full opinion without reading the whole thing#and i love gen's reaction each time#even in the radio show i remember him laughing amusedly at senku hating#gen being unbothered while senku's super bothered... chefs kiss#senku literally has a mega famous celebrity step mom (i doubt he didn't see byakuya/lillian coming) and he didn't even tell taiju abt it#bc taiju only knows lillian as The American Singer#so i doubt he cares abt celebrity culture at all. probably likes lillian bc she's close to his dad and that's that#and yet gen is the only celebrity he seem bothered with but only bc gen pisses him off LMAO#i rly be writing wholeass essays in tags huh lol i just find it easier to talk in here#hiiii anon hiiii#thanks for the ask <3#ask!#sengen#dcst#dr stone#senku gen anti

severance s1e8 what's for dinner?
man, what is going on at waffle house these days
#severance#severanceedit#dylan george#the four tempers#waffle party#severancegifs#mygifs#this show generally is more subtly surreal but this scene was the first time i was truly taken aback and like what the fuck#it just felt like about ten steps over into eyes wide shut twin peaks territory out of the blue#also i'm thinking is this like. work-endorsed jacking off time? is that the perk? what do severed people know about sex anyway#i haven't read anything about this show so i'm sure there's lots of smart and thoughtful takes on it and analysis about these things#but i do like to watch shows in my bubble with my reactions and thoughts contained to what's going on in my brain#for better or worse#speaking of for a minute i was like oh baby goats! and the painting! and the guy in the mask! but then i was like-#oh wait. isn't that a ram? that's a sheep. LOL#cue me searching how to tell teh difference between goats and sheep. tl;dr it actually can be really hard#so maybe there's a goat that has those type of horns? haha#also my appreciation of a little detail - that's clearly like. pancake syrup not maple syrup because maple doesn't do that stringy sticky#like let's not get too excited here. you get waffles but you're not getting the fancy syrup lol

What type of person is Joseph Quinn attracted to? What type of people does he attract? Does he ever want to settle down and what is his love language?
All readings are alleged and for entertainment purposes only; please take each reading with a grain of salt.
What type of personality is Joe drawn to: king of pentacles, 4 of swords reversed, 2 of cups - Joe seems to be drawn towards older people who can be a bit more authoritative in a way. He seems to like those who know what they want and don’t let anything stand between them. But he’s also one to like those who know their limitations and what they are capable of; never ones to push themselves too far to get something they know their worth but won’t sacrifice themselves to get anything. And lastly Joe is drawn to a loving person; someone that he feels this soul connection to. He craves to be loved and cared for by his partner; they show him that they are happy to have him as theirs and he wants to know he can be loved.
Oracle card: not enough - I’ve drawn this card a dozen times for Joe and I feel it’s most representative of how he feels with himself and who he wants; he’s not good enough for them. The type of person Joe would love to be with is so intimidating to Joe that he’s feeling insecure and like he is wasting his time pursuing it. So he just doesn’t try; he will either settle for less than what he wants or deserves or just doesn’t date period.
What type of person is drawn towards Joe: ace of swords reversed, 9 of pentacles reversed, queen of swords reversed - Joe seems to get the type of people who are like “yeah sure whatever” without caring who they have or they’re using him for their own personal gain. This could be for attention now that he’s in the spotlight or it could be to make someone else jealous. With that Queen of swords in reverse I get the sense he always gets some toxic person who makes those views he has of himself even harder to shake. These people will date him but they don’t really love him.
Oracle card: blowing kiss, camera - with these two and the above cards as they are placed I feel like Joe wants that love and affection he had from a previous relationship he had with someone but now it’s all just in his mind. He’s thinking of that and maybe he’s drawing people who pick up on that and he sees something that his former partner had in this new potential relationship. It starts off like they’re obsessed and drawn to him but then it’s a distant memory and he’s lost again.
What is Joe looking for in a relationship: 6 of pentacles, 2 of swords reversed, the moon - I think Joe wants to just have someone who can give him the love or attention he’s looking for and that’s caused some confusion within him about what a relationship should be. These confusing ideas may also mean Joe is not really wanting anything serious in a relationship right now because he doesn’t feel sure of himself and isn’t ready to be in a relationship that will lead to something more than just a couple dates or something.
Oracle card: teddy bear - Joe wants to be loved; like a bear Joe wants someone to hug him and be there when he needs them. I’m getting a feeling that Joe can be quite clingy when he’s in love with someone and loves to snuggle or just wrap up in them because they make him feel safe. That’s what a teddy bear does for a child and that’s what Joe wants; to feel safe in love again.
Does Joe have any plans to settle down one day: 3 of cups, the hanged man reversed, the sun, no - Joe definitely wants his own family. He’s loves the idea of that and it’s something he’s always wanted but right now he’s not feeling like he can do that or that he will be able to have a family; but with that no card it says this blew up in his face. I’m feeling Joe may have wanted a family with someone very specific and things didn’t work out; he still loves the idea but he thinks he’s too messed up and no one wants a family with him.
Oracle card: coffee cup - for having a family Joe is thinking about it but right now he’s just trying to enjoy his life he has and do things he can before trying that again. He’s a 30 year old guy who is new to the fame and is getting his feet wet.
What is Joe’s love language: gift giving, quality time, physical touch - Joe will spoil whoever he loves by making sure they have all they need and he can be there with them whenever he is able to. He doesn’t like to be away from those he loves and craves their presence with him as much as he can have it. He also is a very physical guy; like holding hands with them, hugging them, kisses and cuddling. (Personally the 5 love languages all seem to suit him in some way so it’s up for grabs what his primary one is)

😧i don't remember this in the anime 😨
#fma#fullmetal alchemist#fmab#fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood#alphonse elric#fma manga#im finally reading the manga and im so shocked by the differences to 03!#i think i prefer 03's version w some things i like better in the manga#but im genuinely surprised by the differences like hughes not being on the train#and yoswell mine not being ed's first mission. thats genuinely so ??? confusing i dont like that#but i think i prefer a lil of how the events went in the manga (like the inn not being repaired by him and the lack of lyra)#(not that i dislike her but her character only has a purpose and role in 03)#anyway back to this specific page#ive always loved the fact al didn't step in#and in one (or both?) of the animes hes just shown standing there silently and watching ed beat tucker up#he only interferes once it gets to the point where tucker might die bc they dont kill ppl#and these 2 panels rly drive it home#but once again to the differences between the 3 versions of FMA; i dont understand how ppl have 1 version they think is The Best#i think they all do some things better than the others and its like. i prefer the tone of 03 but the story of brotherhood for example#and especially for the early events not shown in BH my views on them are so weirdly mixed between the manga and 03#aaa i love 03's fight scenes and how dark and serious they take ed being a kid... especially episode 8 with barry...#and mustang's machinations and plots and plans using the brothers as pawns for his own purposes ueeee love that so much

completed a very complex community-wide restorative justice process two years in the making :)
#the relationships aren’t done being repaired but the process we’ve been working up to is :)#it went about as well as it could & someone else got to practice facilitating for the first time (with a structure I wrote for her)#(& prep work I did & we went over so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed)#& she did a great job!#significantly better than the person who didn’t read or work with me on a huge restorative justice process last summer & then created more#harm in my opinion but I had migraines every day at that point & didn’t know what was happening so I couldn’t step in effectively
