We've all had a rough week/ month/ year/ decade

Let's make a thread of nice things.

Yesterday morning, while I took a shower, husbff and TH watched YouTube videos. Princess Keis took advantage of the situation and sat on husbff's butt.

[Image description: two people are lying on a bed, facing away from the camera. The person on the left is a young child with short, dark reddish hair, wearing a teal t shirt, black sweatpants, and striped ankle socks. They have one knee bent and the other leg straight. The person on the right is an adult. He is wearing a black baseball cap, red t shirt, and dark plaid patterned shorts. There is a long haired black cat lying on his butt, looking at the camera. A phone screen is visible between the child and adult's heads]

And Fezzy still lies like this in my chair when I'm not in it.

DuckTales and Gravity Falls are almost the same show.

They both have:

A set of siblings born at the same time (twins/triplets)

Going to stay with their great uncle

Who seems really boring and old at first but is actually pretty cool, if slightly morally ambiguous, but mostly good.

The great uncle is reluctant to care about the kids at first, but by the end of the series is willing to sacrifice his life for them.

The great uncle loves money

The uncle also has a long lost relative, who he has spent a very long time searching for.

A book smart, hat wearing sibling, who carries around a red book with all the information they could possibly need. This sibling worships the book, and is devastated when they don’t have it.

An insane, hyperactive, adventure hungry sibling who is almost a complete idiot, but usually succeeds through sheer willpower and a little dumb luck.

(Alternately, instead of Dipper and Mabel filling in for Huey and Dewey, you could use Stanley and Stanford as Louie and Huey, because Stanley is a schemey little guy, but Stanford doesn’t fit Huey quite as well.)

An insane hyperactive girl with a group of two friends, one is a stoic nerd girl. (Lena and Grenda don’t line up)

A host of minor villains leading up to a final boss that is seemingly unbeatable.

A surface level idiot who grows to be a better fighter throughout the series. He has a presumably Hispanic background and lives in a house with a woman who is a mother figure to him, and they would do anything for each other.

A random moment that I distinctly remember where a character bangs on their head and it makes a metallic sound. They then say something about how they have a metal plate in their head/their bones are metal.

The final boss likes to possess people. They also appear in dreams sometimes.

A villainous rendition of the intro that plays in an episode(s) centered around them.

A multi-part finale, bringing an untimely end to a kid’s show that is really good. At least it didn’t drag on forever, ruining its own reputation.

Bonus! A voice actor from a show that is also great, but is probably going to/did drag in for too long, that was created by Dan Harmon. (Justin Roiland from Rick and Morty and Jim Rash from Community) Both were immediately recognizable because of their very distinct voices that I recognized from the thing they were in.

something bad did indeed happen to that man. spent abt 25 minutes trying to find a better picture of that one (1) offical piece with his eyes open that wasnt compressed or tiny

[hermitw]

Idk if there is anything to this or if I'm overthinking,,,

But Hakari's face here feels a lot like Sukuna. It's more than the slit eyebrow, it's the same kind of expression, angle, and edgy unserious thing to say.

Hakari looking like a flame and crushing metal to look similar to malevolent shrine.

This all might be a reach BUT I'm wondering if this is meant to show us things about Sukuna's character -

Like the way that Kashimo gives us insight into feral Gojo logic (it isn't about Gojo surviving, it's about Gojo having the opportunity to fight Sukuna all by himself, for example - no one else understood this).

Or the way Uro's bit of backstory can give us an idea of what happened to Sukuna - on that note, Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be about how the strongest are always put on a leash, or put to death.

Back to Hakari - he just wanted to be left alone, and do his own thing - with Kirara by his side, with her technique that keeps anyone from jujutsu society away.

This is interesting bc Sukuna, who just wants to chill in gardens with poetry, has Uraume - who tries to distance sorcerers from bothering Sukuna, and at least stand between Sukuna and Kenjaku.

We know now that Uraume's deal with Kenjaku included being reincarnated as a woman. I think Uraume found that they'd still be nonbinary, regardless of circumstances, but Still we have Uraume and Kirara who are trans and protective of Hakari and Sukuna.

There's also the way that Sukuna and Hakari's RCT are on a different level from anyone else. Both of them have been seriously injured, like Hakari choosing to lose a foot bc he can just grow it back (gotta find the shoe though) and Sukuna, ripping out their own heart bc they can live without one.

RCT also comes naturally to them - Sukuna healing Yuuji's hand by accident, Hakari's RCT occurring without effort due to his domain.

Back to this page - Kashimo looks like Gojo, and is somewhat of a mirror to Gojo... So it looks like Gojo vs Sukuna to some extent, right? Am I just brainrotted idk

And the way Kashimo matches Hakari's freak, despite the way Panda looks.... It's them I swear

..... And Sukuna calling Gojo a fish with no name... While Kashimo is the name of the Vessel and we don't know what they were called hundreds of years ago (I think Kashimo and Uraume reincarnated similarly, but the point is Kashimo reflecting Gojo)

Whenever someone separates Krux and Acronix it's like separating these two

Its either both of them or neither

[starflungwaddledee]

is there an accepted collective name for waddle dees? for when they're in a group; like how you have a flock or birds or a pack of wolves?

if not can i formally suggest: wuddle.

because it's cute and sounds like a puddle of waddle dees. but also because it's similar to 'huddle' which is used for stationary penguins on land. (penguins are in fact actually collectively called a 'waddle' when they're walking, so there is... you know. That.)

[phreaticlayer]

can you keep a secret ~ ?

[lettersregardingjeeves]

Did something happen? I have the last email from October 16 -- was there anything after that? Will Right Ho, Jeeves conclude?

What ho, old chaps, and I really cannot apologize enough. The moderator of this whole affair has been, I'm afraid to say, going through it, and has somewhat fallen off. However, I'm fond of this Substack, and of all the memories that have come from it and the people who have loved it, so I will be doing my best to start it back up within the month!

my htf humanizations \(^o^)/ girls and theys edition

^^^ original sketches! still kinda proud of them but there have been many design changes and improvements since then hahahah (especially in regards to giggles and lammy)

anyways!! additional info :-3 this is kind of an au but also i don't want to do much with it other than design the characters so idk lol BUT: they're supposed to be like. vague college students age-wise. i like to think doing childish things in their universe is just socially acceptable. at least in my au. also: petunia goes by she/they, giggles and lammy go by she/her, and flaky goes by any but mostly they/she/he ^_^ petunia is bi (with a girl preference), giggles is pan, lammy is aroace and flaky is nonbinary and questioning. also petunia and flaky are autistic now. hi

might make more in the future btw hehe :-3 i already have some ideas for splendid cuddles and toothy so they may be next

I have not been in this fandom long enough to reasonably judge others' takes however. "EPIC fans are so silly to characterize odysseus as feeling guilty for his actions don't you know he's a war criminal" is definitely a wild one. like first of all to each their own so settle down and let people enjoy things ok. and secondly making choices with a bad outcome, even knowingly and deliberately, does not exclude the possibility of feeling bad about it later. in fact it makes for a much more in depth character because then you get to explore what he does or doesn't feel guilt over, and why, and if that guilt ever edges into regret or not.

Now I'm curious cause of your tag. What did Swedish media say about the eurovision thing?

Oof yeah, here's a post detailing it ... here another... Basically they've absolutely flipped over the fact that Finnish public didn't give Loreen points at all (which I find absolutely hilarious) and suddenly started wielding such rhetoric as "the former eastern part of our kingdom" referring to Finland, which is???? like??? do I even need to say how Not Okay that is?

It might seem to some that the Finnish people are reacting to Sweden's (unfair) win and them being sore winners (which, points to them, I didn't know was possible!) with too much drama, but it's all tied to our history together. Finland has traditionally seen itself, and has been seen by other countries (Sweden included) as the sort of "little brother" to the more advanced, better-faring, glorious Sweden. While Sweden to my knowledge doesn't much care about what Finland gets up to (perhaps overlooking/ignoring us and our merits), Finland is always comparing itself to Sweden and trying to live up to it. It's a very common rhetoric and sort of, the atmosphere over here. We know more about Sweden than Sweden knows about us; we're constantly conscious that Sweden exists. Sweden gets talked about in international news; Finland, if mentioned, is often tied to - you guessed it - being Sweden's neighboring country.

We used to be part of Sweden for 600 years. During that time, Swedish was implemented as the language of the culture and the "civilised" whereas the finns living in the eAstErn pArT oF tHe kiNgDoM were seen as "wild" and "uncivilised" and just, generally a lesser people to the Swedish speaking population. We haven't been under Sweden's rule for some 200 years and STILL we can't seem to shake their influence on us. Swedish is still a mandatory language to learn at school (and I have many opinions on that, but that'd be another post). Finnish as a language has been disregarded for its whole existence. Our leading national thinkers and poets in the 19th century, who were the first ones to really push for the Finnish identity instead of us seeing ourselves as part of Sweden or Russia, wrote in Swedish. The first novel in Finnish was published in 1870.

So this is monumental to us, to have the whole word watching Finland and not Sweden. Finland has a lot of merits, especially considering how small a people we are (just 5,5mil). To have a song in our language, in Finnish be this popular, is something we couldn't have imagined. We as a people are humble to the extreme, so much that we might easily scorn anyone who is too successful (not a good thing!), and this is the first time in my life that I'm seeing the whole country rally behind someone like this. When we say "Our Jere" we mean it with our whole hearts. We're so so proud of him, everyone is, and for once Finnish people seem to think in unison that someone deserves all the praise and the success.

SO, to have Sweden in this UNIQUE moment of Finland raising its head and being "we're so amazing", with the rest of Europe going "yes you're so amazing!!", spew rhetoric like this, is just, unbelievable to me. Like I can't just believe that in the 21st century there are people in Sweden who hold up 200 year old thought patterns of our country. It's been shocking 'cos though there's always been rivalry, it's felt more... tongue in cheek. We "love to hate" Sweden over here. It's been "I hate Sweden (affectionate)". But now we find this unbelievably condescending and belittling attitude towards us raising its head, and we wonder, we thought we two were okay?? But have they always held these beliefs???

So there's a sense of betrayal in the air as well. And just, full on disbelief. And maybe we're starting to see that it has been like this all along, but we've decided to turn a blind eye to it? True colours shining through? Perhaps not... but yeah.

Sweden not looking good here!

(here's one more post that says the same that i did but was better at making it SHORT oops)

just shy

[greenleaf4stuff]

Because I am taking deep dives in the river of Denial atm and still have hope that *maybe* trop could bring Adar back, I have decided to compile a list of ways he could have survived (partially inspired by this post).

These can also be used as some inspiration if anyone wants to write some fix-it fics.

Nenya's power could have 'lingered' and healed him when nobody was looking; he'd barely reverted back to his uruk appearance before the betrayal happened after all.

he might have faked his death; yes he got injuries that do not support continued survival for an ordinary person but he barely flinched when he got wounded on the battlefield before. Maybe he realised it was smarter to play dead and then work from the shadows to fight Sauron. (This would actually work as another parallel to Sauron, who was also presumed dead and returned!)

the elves could have found and healed him when nobody was looking; unlikely as it is, but maybe Gil-Galad thought he could give them important intel or recognized his elvish features and couldn't help himself?

there is a post that pointed out how Sauron is kneeling next to Adar; likely he only grabbed Adar's sword but he could in theory have used some magic. (Sauron mentioned to Celebrimbor how there were 'ways of keeping him alive' when Celebrimbor was already heavily wounded for example.) Why? The most horrific thought would be bringing back Adar through necromancy, but considering how petty and cruel Sauron is, maybe he would instead heal Adar just so the other can witness the suffering Sauron bestows upon his children as revenge. Or maybe he'd try and break Adar to get him back into his ranks - he is a skilled fighter after all.

considering this is Middle Earth, there is always the chance of some lucky coincidence or interference from a higher power, like with the eagles in the movies. An eagle might have come and picked him up to get him to safety, some unseen character could have come along and healed him, or he could have straight-up been healed by an unseen force for a certain purpose (aiding in the fight against Sauron?).
