#i've been thinking about this quote all day

[didalexiabreakupwitholgaisback]

alexia in a new interview with hola magazine. some of the more quotable quotes 😙

q: how do you feel about being a person who inspires girls and young women? how do you feel about being such a figure like the one you are?

a: the conclusion i have come to is that you have to be yourself, you can't change anything. if you don't like doing something, you don't do it. if you are motivated by something, you do it, and if it doesn't motivate you, you just go your own way. whether or not you inspire others arises from that, it cannot be the purpose in itself. rather, i would say that it is the other way around: being who you are, you connect or not with people, you either get there or you don't. because if you force yourself to act differently to inspire someone, i think that in the end you are in danger of yourself.

q: it strikes me that you don't eat breakfast?

a: it depends on the day. that is handled by the nutrition department, meaning that all the details are completely controlled. for example, on match days i do eat breakfast, but it depends on how i feel. normally, i don't eat breakfast, i just have a coffee because i've gotten used to doing it that way. i don't mean that it's the right thing to do, but that it works for me. if i feel good, i prefer my first meal to be after training. everyone has to do what works for them. in my case, i follow a diet, but when i say "diet" i mean a type of diet, not a restriction. i eat in a way that may not work for someone else. i've been doing this for many years and i know my body.

q: and how do you work on the mental aspect?

a: i relax by being in my environment, at home, with my family and friends. knowing their concerns, sharing conversations with them... that's what gives me peace and stability. i don't meditate or do yoga, i've never tried it. i don't rule it out in the future, but for now i haven't done it.

Maverick: In alcohol’s defense, I’ve done some pretty dumb shit while completely sober too.

Rooster: I don’t want to talk about it.

Iceman: Good, I don’t wanna hear about it.

*In a group chat*

Bob: A pegan just flew into my window.

Maverick: Pegan?

Phoenix: A what?

Halo: Ah yes, my favourite bird, Pegan.

Fanboy: I thought you said penguin for a second, LMAO!

Halo: Just a normal day with flying penguins crashing into my window.

Fanboy: You have pigeons flying into your window? Can't relate, I have penguins flying into my window.

Bob: I literally just made a typo-

Rooster: Can you PLEASE peer pressure me into doing my project?

Coyote : Do it or you're straight.

Rooster: I said peer pressure, NOT THREATEN!

Payback: Rooster, I need some advice.

Rooster: You need advice from ME?

Payback: Yeah, frightening, isn't it?

Bob: Due to personal reasons, I will be fucking sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box.

Payback: Did Phoenix say 'I love you' and you said 'Thanks'?

Bob: THE REASONS ARE PERSONAL–

Rooster: If we don’t get out of this alive… If we’re both about to die… I love you, Hangman!

*Neither of them die*

Hangman: …

Rooster: …

Hangman: So do you wanna talk about somethi-

Rooster: No thank you.

Payback (brainstorming ideas for pranking Halo): How much could a serial killer mask possibly cost?

Maverick: Well it’s hard to find a high-quality one made out of leather or silicone, but if you did find a good one like that it’d be a couple thousands of dollars. I can try to hook you up with one but I don’t know if I’d be very successful.

Payback: Huh, that’s pretty interesting actually- Wait, how the hell do you know that?

Maverick: …I am very passionate about Halloween, Payback.

Maverick: I got an idea!

Iceman: Does it involve breaking the law?

Maverick: By now don’t you think that’s a given?

Iceman: I was just trying to be optimistic.

Maverick: Don’t bother.

Goose: Your problem is that you’ve got no common sense.

Maverick: I’ve got plenty of common sense!

Maverick: I just choose to ignore it.

Iceman: Your lover doesn't have the mental strength to caramelize onions.

Slider: Your lover thinks it takes 5-10 minutes to caramelize onions.

Maverick: Who's fucking caramelizing onions? Have you sociopaths forgotten that apples exist?

Goose: Do you think caramelizing onions is putting caramel on onions.

Maverick: Is it just me or is instant ramen even better uncooked?

Slider: It’s just you.

Maverick: When I get murdered, can you make sure I become an unsolved case?

Iceman: wHat?

Maverick: I want to be on Buzzfeed Unsolved.

Iceman: Can we go back to the part when you said "when I get murdered"?

Goose: So, everyone, what does a story NEED?

Slider: A character!

Iceman: A setting!

Maverick, a gleam in their eyes, in a near-whisper: REVENGE.

Goose: Good morning!

Slider: Bold statement.

Goose: We'll talk about this later.

Maverick: Fine, I won’t be listening.

Goose: I think Slider is in trouble.

Maverick: Alright. Struggling to give a fuck, if I’m honest.

Store Worker: Would a “Slider” please come to the front desk?

Slider, arriving at the desk: Hello, is there a problem?

Store Worker, pointing to Ice and Mav: I believe they belong to you?

Ice and Mav, simultaneously: We got lost.

Slider: I didn’t even bring you guys here with me—

Mav: When do I get my own gun?

Slider: I wouldn’t trust you with my kid’s lightsaber.

Mav: Do I sound smart, or am I smart?

Slider: You sound unbearable, to be perfectly honest.

Mav: Wow, it sure smells like wrong dog in here!

Merlin: Oh buddy...

Mav, already sobbing: ASK.

Mav: What's your greatest fear?

Goose: Being forgotten.

Mav: ...

Mav: Damn, that's deep.

Mav: Mine is the Kool Aid man, but I feel kinda stupid about it now...

Merlin: Sometimes, I don’t realize an event was traumatic until I tell it as a funny story and notice everyone is staring at me weird.

Maverick: Everyone, calm down! We're grown-ups, let's deal with this like adults!

Halo: So, we're just going to wing it and hope for the best?

Maverick: Obviously. Now, Rooster, pass the shovel.

Maverick: Rooster, you’re in charge!

Phoenix: Rooster, can we start a fire?

Bob: Hangman, we tried things your way.

Hangman: No, we didn't.

Bob: I did it in my head and it didn't work.

Rooster, proudly: I slept.

Bob: Is that so much of a rare thing that you have to say it?

Maverick to Rooster: Turn that frown upside-down!

*a little while later*

Maverick: What are you doing?

Rooster, trying to do a handstand: You told me to “turn that frown upside-down” but it’s not working .

Maverick, to the squad: And remember, if I get harsh with you it is only because you’re doing it all wrong.

Phoenix: Why are you looking at me through a fork?

Rooster: I'm pretending you're in jail.

Phoenix: Why?

Rooster: It's spiritually healing.

Maverick, in a room with Halo, Coyote, and Payback: It’s calm in here.

Maverick: It scares me…

*before goose dies btw*

Iceman: What would Goose think?

Maverick: Ok, that’s an interesting thought, but hear me out: what if… we ran an experiment where we spent the rest of our lives finding out what happened if we never told them?

*Maverick and Iceman are texting*

Maverick: Who are you? Someone changed the names in my phone.

Iceman: What did they change my name to?

Maverick: Chosen One.

Iceman: Don’t change it back.

Maverick: BUT WHO ARE YOU?!?!

Iceman: I’m the chosen one.

Today I learned that the Pope has the right to appoint secret cardinals, and even the cardinals themselves may not realize that they now have a new position. Popes have the right to make the name public at any time, but if the Pope dies before the Cardinal's name is made public, the individual ceases to be a Cardinal.

Yes, Catholicism is weird.

But more importantly, there is only one person in the world who can prove that I am not a cardinal.

Jegulus as Orpheus and Eurydice!

i feel like crying.

He felt the strong winds from below pull him under. Blowing his curls aside and drying the wetness forming in his eyes.

Why had James turned back? They were so close.

They had been so close, that the sun was peaking through, its bright rays holding out for them, waiting for them to cross the border of life and death so they could be together again. But it was in vain because James stopped in front of the entrance and now Regulus feels himself being pulled under as James' loud laughter twists into cries.

They weren't supposed to end like this. They were supposed to be happy in this life. Regulus had imagined the life they would lead when they finally got out as he trailed behind. They would raise cats and dance in the meadows, James would play his music and Regulus would sing with him, they would live out their days happily married because how could Regulus forget that they had only been married for a few hours? The happiest hours of his life.

And now, as Regulus dies for the second time, he finds he can't utter a complaint against his husband because what was there to complain of? That he had been loved?

"She doesn’t have a lot of interest in making these boys the characters of the songs. It’s always the girls in the songs who are the characters. Really, the boy is just there to get her from one end of the song to the other — just there to get a song started. Even from the very first one I heard, the one that made me a fan, my origin story as a fan: 'Our Song.' The song ends with her actually writing 'Our Song,' and then we know we’re never gonna hear about this boy again. He’s served his purpose! He’s helped her become a songwriter, and she’s got the song and she’s moving on. We see that all through these things that the boys are just there for the girls to have this kind of self-discovery process, that the boys are really just blank spaces for the girls to find their own identity in. When people used to say 'Taylor writes songs about boys,' I would sometimes say — to be a bit flippant a bit — she never writes any songs about boys. It’s always about the girl in the song and whatever project for her the boy represents. She just doesn’t have that much interest in male characters at all."

every time i see anything saying shara's eyes are concave and/or don't move and the camera tracking is just an illusion i feel a little more of my sanity slip. its eyes do move. you could say that its eyes moving was actually quite highlighted in the post-fight cutscene. you also watch it stare down the hunters and then do the smooth eye tracking to ruiner nergigante. it's not that hard in a game to set the camera as the thing the eyes track. shara's just Like That.

AnimeNYC Interviewer: If you could describe Undead Unluck in one phrase, what would it be?

Tozuka: So when the first chapter came out in Japan, in Shonen Jump the editor put this phrase that I think captures Undead Unluck - "Let's enjoy life!"
