Leave it to Ezra to find a colony of hermit crab people to cohabitate with in a completely different galaxy, because of course Ezra would.

of course Al fangirls over indivitual cues like of course he does

If there are a million Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them. If there are only two Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them (Eva Noblezada is the other). If there are no Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, Eva Noblezada and I are dead 😔

Okay, I'd always noticed the way Jaskier immediately presses his body into Radovid after their lips make contact, and how Radovid seems to be caught off guard and slightly jolts in response...

But, because of how dark that scene is lit, I hadn't paid proper attention to their physical environment, and the way Radovid somehow "stands his ground" against the sudden pressure (i.e. there's a surprisingly large space between him and that wall behind him that very much stays there).

I'd always assumed Radovid was leaning against a wall, and had always found that sort of "upward pelvic push" Jaskier gives him whilst kissing rather bold (and sexy).

But that "pelvic push" actually has the effect of helping Jaskier "lift Radovid up" - bringing him out of that slightly slouched and defeated posture - to make him stand a bit taller so he can properly meet him in that kiss!

Jaskier is sort of simultaneously pressing against Radovid with his hips, while also bringing his own shoulders and weight backwards, thus forcing Radovid to slightly move up and forward.

And that "slight jolt" in Radovid's shoulders is him immediately compensating by "catching Jaskier" in his arms and steadying them both.

Jaskier basically just gave Radovid the kissing equivalent of a "trust fall"!

Are you kidding me?!

Like: "Here! Stop worrying about your playing, stand up straight very gay and catch me, there's kissing to be done!"

And the second Radovid felt his balance shift he immediately caught Jaskier in his arms and kept them both from toppling over.

Jaskier is simultaneously taking charge of the situation... while putting Radovid in charge.

That boy really wants a partnership, doesn't he?

He's wordlessly going: "Here, I'll help lift you up, but then I need you to catch me and keep us steady. We've got this! "

Also explains why that movement is so synchronized...

From the first gif, it appears that, when Radovid caught Jaskier, he brought his hands up to his shoulder blades, or very close to them (at least, if you look at the way Jaskier's arm and sleeve move when he grabs him).

So, the moment Radovid relaxes his own shoulders while holding Jaskier in his arms, Jaskier's shoulders should automatically follow his movement, too.

I've paid so much attention to the way that Jaskier is touching Radovid's hair and face in that scene, that I'd totally missed that Radovid caught him and is holding him in his arms while they're just standing there together in an open space the whole time... What is this?!

I should check on HoyoLab to see if there's anything about the new update

*Opens HoyoLab to immediately see somebody getting flamed for disliking Jade, seeing rampant Ruan Mei hate, and seeing people call Sunday a facist*

Actually I think I need a drink.

honestly what's happening with chappell is just more proof that entertainers are NOT who we should be looking to for our political information, and it blows my mind that anyone still thinks that being a musician means you are more informed or worth listening to than any random off of the street. this level of celebrity worship is the reason america elected a reality tv star as president, and i just don't think MORE celebrity worship is the answer.

incredibly moved whenever someone tells me that i'm an easy person to be around when they're going through some shit. there's nothing more sacred to me than sitting with someone through death and grief and loss, things that i can't fix or do anything about except be there and let them feel their feelings without having to pretend to be chipper or hopeful or cheeruppable. i can't pretend to feel what i don't feel, which makes me weird and awkward in so many interpersonal situations, but i think it's also what makes people feel comfortable sharing this stuff with me, because they know that i won't judge them and they don't have to perform for me. i feel so lucky when i can provide that for somebody. i wouldn't trade it for anything.

I actually like the last chapter. I think the ideas are very good. I have my qualms on how some things were managed, as I always do, but I think shonen authors get tangled in the expectations of a shonen to the point it jeopardises their writing, often even when they're not lacking in skills

it boggles my mind that I still see reminder type posts about not consuming Harry Potter content, not because I expected everyone to agree to stop engaging but because I did sort of expect that the people engaging with hp in 2024 would at least have the decency to not grovel on the internet for random transgender bloggers to validate that they're still a good person and not transphobic for liking hp still. like these posts are not redundant they are FILLED with defensive responses and excuses for why actually its fine and its like not only can you not stop engaging with Harry Potter but you also want to be able to post about doing so non-stop and you never ever want to even see a transgender person point out that JKR is actively funding and directly influencing transphobic organizations and legislation. to the point that when someone does you are incapable of simply scrolling by because you need so badly to be reassured that this internet rando doesn't think you specifically are a bad person for doing the thing they said is bad. unreal main character syndrome. if you have committed to being an hp fan fine i am not a cop or your mom and I cannot make you do anything at all. but I am not, nor is any other trans person, going to give you 'permission' or absolve you of your own guilt for doing so. that is your problem to reconcile yourself and is not the job of random trans people. like jesus christ enough already

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.
