#im legit just curious

[trashpandaperson]

y’know, i’ve been wondering. is it still considered trans if i use they/it/he? like, i am absolutely more masculine than feminine, but i wouldn’t really call myself trans. i identify as blankboy, but also lean a little more towards genderblank and genderfree, hence why he/him is my third preference. i’m genuinely curious about the technicalities, so if someone has any answers… :)

Is that actually you in your pfp??

Hello anon! Yes that is me, taking a break from trekking with friends. Unbeknownst to me, my brother snapped this photo as I sat down on this makeshift bench to admire the peaceful creek underneath us

This was taken around mid 2015 so, many moons ago, but I was always in love with nature 💛

i'm really surprised when ppl say take-home interviews are just a way to get you to do real work for free. i've only worked at a few places, but the take-homes have always been crafted exercises with a corresponding rubric. even for the non-technical roles, eg the itinerary take-home for an executive assistant role is never a real schedule. i would honestly think it's a huge red flag if it was real? but maybe there are industries where that's normal???

Dennis had been giving Dee money for weeks to tip for coffee. Dee, on her own volition, bought a lottery ticket with the money instead. 2 weeks pass and it remains in her purse, un-scratched. The ticket falls out and into the street. Mac spots it and claims it for himself. Right after picking up the ticket, Mac is almost crushed to death, but Frank calls out which prompts Charlie to kick Mac out of the way, saving his life.

Based on the scene at face-value, who do you believe is the actual owner of the lottery ticket in Hero or Hate Crime?

(To clarify: I am not asking who you think deserves it, but who you personally believe the ticket actually belonged to at the end of the chain of events?)

Explain your reasoning in the tags if you feel passionately!

I've always wondered what Alec's and the rest of the Heartbroken views were of heroes and their lack of effectiveness against their dad.

Cause if you think about it, there about four main issues for taking on Heartbreaker at the start:

1) his power affecting you

2) his power affecting your allies and the people he's surrounded himself with

3) Heartbreaker apparently being sneaky with his location

4) the thralls he has in high places to cause mayhem if he's captured/killed

As the years pass, you also have to account for his kids' powers in case they fight you as well.

And like, for a small group, any one point seems like a difficult hurdle to get through, let alone all of the them together and you can kinda see how he never got taken down

But

(Even ignoring the fact that Imp managed it because she has a power that nullifies the first two points, Tattletale for the third, probably didn't care too much for the fourth, and I think she talked the rest of the kids into standing by if they noticed her at all (I'm including this bc Cherish managed it and I don't remember all of their powers))

The heroes had Dragon. Like, yeah she's busy as hell, but Dragon alone takes care of the first and third points, she could use the same skills that solved the third point to backtrack and minimize the fourth point, and she's apart of a large team to help with the second point. The kids are the wildcards, but that they could, I dunno, observe for a week and see what info they pick up. I can't imagine the kids kept their powers underwraps and a few even went off to school during during the day so it's not like it's a constant worry. (Or just go in bc their supposed to be heroes and save the victims from the Worst Parent TM)

Also, you know, they could have done it before Heartbreaker had the chance to traumatize multiple kids into gaining powers. They've all been around for a while.

Maybe the kids just never gave it too much thought. I'm sure they've seen some heroes try and fail, but with all the times Dragon comes in to Brockton Bay I could see Alec just getting pissed his power doesn't directly help and go "well where the fuck have you been all this time if you can shit out mechs like this constantly?"

Ok before I start Book 4 of Glomas, I just remembered something.

Back in Book 2, what the dumbasses and Trein said about the bell, and the mirror.

So Trein says that many arcane academies (or Magic Academies) possess a magical artifact that are their school's emblem.

Night Raven College has the Magic Mirror

Noble Bell College has the Bell of Solace

Sooo... if Royal Sword Academy also is an arcane academy that possibly possesses its own magic item... what is it?

Given they have "Sword" in it's title I can only think that's the item they have.

NEW OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR "FOR THE FUTURE"

(I haven't watched the leaked episode, if you did, please do not post any spoilers. You will be blocked if you do.)

King!!! King is back!!! Unfortunately it comes at the cost of him obviously being the Collector's servant basically. At least he still has François.

King also reads a book about the Collector, similar to how the end of S1 he read a book about Belos. It's an easy way to add lore to the show, and it calls back to another time he did so

Not only do we get curly redhead Lilith, but she has a pixie cut now too!!! Her glasses are gone tho :(

All of the Coven Heads (but Terra?) got turned to puppets ;___; as have most other citizens including Hooty, Principal Bump & the other Hexside teachers, and some of the other student body like the grudgby players

Also Eda does not seem to have a prosthetic like most people predicted, which makes me wonder what happened to Alador

ALSO ALSO SHORT HAIR EDA 💖

Mattholomule grew the worst facial hair lol (I am certain the 😑 expressions everyone made in that last promo image was at Mattholomule). Skara is there too!!!! And Barkus (maybe we'll get a gustholomule moment)

Eda can still lose control of the Owl Beast in Harpy mode -- and I can't blame her considering the circumstances. Her eyes turn fully black in that inky drop motion like back in s1

I wonder if her short hair affects the look

Huntlow moment 💚💛

Dana was right, sparkly is a good word to describe this episode.

I'm not sure how I feel by the idea that almost all adults got captured, it does feel specifically like The Collector (a child like God) did it on purpose, but it still is kinda :/ to know most of my fav supporting cast are puppets now to conveniently write them all out of the episode so as to keep the cast from bloating. Like I get why it was done but I'm still salty about it

The Coven Heads (again except maybe Terra?? Idk why she wasn't there? Did she pledge loyalty well enough to not need to be puppetfied? Did she escape? Die? Lol could you imagine) all have slight whimsical features added to their designs, as with everyone who got puppetfied, but for once they're all moving & working in tandem haha. Raine's close up not only killed me, but gave a good callback to when they got captured by Kikimora then "brainwashed" for weeks afterwards. The parallels of Raine pretending to be an enemy vs now they are but completely against their will. Bah. I'm dying, I'm afraid to see Eda's face in that scene. ;__; I'm really unhappy to have any Raeda fluff or bonding during this special (or suggested to have happened in between KT & FTF) robbed from us, but angst is classic Raeda vibes so I'm not surprised

I did also notice we didn't see any hints of Amity, Gus, or Willow's families at all. All we know is Eda & Lilith seem to have escaped puppetfication. I have a feeling Hooty took the puppetfication blast for Lilith in that moment

I'm stoked about Lilith having red hair again, and I was not expecting her & Eda to both cut their hair short! Everyone's getting hair style changes!

This will definitely be a Collector lore heavy episode, if only for the fact King was reading that book about them. I wonder if there used to be more children of the stars, and where the others went/are if there were

And lastly I'm at the photo cap but Belos is there too. He is using glyphs to burrow into some area, and he's killing the wildlife as he goes. Y'know, classic Belos behavior. I wonder if he's trying to get to where Caleb's mangled remains are, and if so what the plan is from there. I doubt Belos will play a large part in this episode as it seems very heavily focused on The Collector instead, which I'm fine with as I figured the final confrontation with Belos was gonna be the last special, what with him being the main villain of the show.

Despite any hangups I have I'm very excited to see the special! I know Dana & the crew worked hard on it

Curious, what are some of your favorite old/nostalgic minecraft texture packs? Bonus points if you can tell me what version you consider ‘old’ because I realize that might differ from person to person

Different timeline anon, but I agree with the writers generally losing track or attention to detail on dates and timeframes. I also agree with the Eddie and Buck age gap discrepancy. Honestly what I suspect happened there is someone noted "Shannon was 30," and whoever had to make or give direction on the headstone didn't math correctly and forgot to subtract the 30 from 2019 instead of 2023 lol.

Imma be honest with you, I never understood the insistence that Eddie was a solid 5 years older than Buck, I remember starting to read fanfiction and everyone going with 5 years specifically and all the old man jokes and going "wait did I miss something?" because I always saw Eddie as someone who got his highschool girlfriend pregnant, so given Chris' age, he couldn't be that much older, at least in my head, even more with the way we know Eddie enlisted because Shannon got pregnant and he also talks about enlisting to avoid college applications, and while I have no idea how the us enlisting system works or college applications for that matter, I always saw that happening before he was 20 in a very vague sense, so I put Buck at 26 in under pressure and Eddie maybe at 28, if I'm pushing to the edge there. But I do agree they didn't think about the implications of Shannon's birthday on Eddie's. I don't think they thought that we would actually read that tombstone and start questioning Eddie's age. Or maybe they narratively need Eddie to be seen as younger than he has been and it's gonna come into play later. But I don't know.
