In real life, the traddest men I know: change diapers; do chores; are present and playful with their kids; take good care of their wives; work 50+ hours a week to provide for their families; literally never think about the 1950s.

idk it sounds reasonable to me for a teenager to run away bc they didn't want to eat their veggies!

one hopes that by the later stages of childhood a parent will have figured out which veggies and preparation styles work for the kid, and the kid will have resigned themself to what they do and don't have to eat according to their parents, and it's all settled into an equilibrium instead of a daily fight. and hopefully as a teen your palette is expanding and you're even willing to eat more veggies then you did as a child.

however, if the kid is extra picky and stubborn, and the parent is extra determined to make sure they eat a good variety (or just eat whatever the parent prepared no matter what it is), it could absolutely continue to be a regularly-repeated fight. and if something is a continued point of contention throughout childhood then it absolutely makes sense for a teen to go FUCK this, i am nearly an ADULT i am done being told to eat my veggies i am gonna prove my independence and make them realize i don't have to just sit there and let them boss me around!!

like, the childishness of the fight is exactly why a teen would run away about it.

Lmao Frank would absolutely keep a list of everything they tried to do to fix this situation. He has his work cut out for him with poor wally as well. Does he know what happened to Sally?

Frank does know what happened to Sally! ofc he caught his first glimpse of her when he sorta woke up, then after he Actually woke up, Wally made sure to sit him down and be like "she will kill you if you go near her <3"

still, Frank didn't really believe Wally. so Wally showed him proof:

and Frank quickly changed his tune.

and honestly, it's more like Wally has his work cut out for him with Frank lmao. cause by the time Frank fully wakes, Wally's pretty much given up. and rightfully so, there's... not really anything he can do except protect his sleeping friends.

so Frank's initial attempts to make a plan kinda went like:

Wally is very earnest about saying "that's nice". it is nice. it's refreshing to have someone around that still believes something can be done, however futile that hope is. Frank will catch on eventually.

Thinks about my next series again... I drew the icon for it!

I'm planning to have it launched within a year! I'm hoping for summer 2025. I want to make a prelaunch page before Time and Time Again ends so people can subscribe if they're interested, but I'm worried the series return would be too early...

I think I'll forever be a little bitter that mcd was never able to get the fandom song treatment. Like. Okay say what you will about the DSMP

But imagine if we'd gotten an Oblivion style song about Laurance's descent thanks to the Calling

Some sweet lullaby cover of Levin's music box that's meant to be sung by Zoey or Aphmau

The rock anthem that could be made about Zenix's journey of self discovery that we never saw but forever rot over

Give Zianna a trilogy of songs that are ostensibly about her sons but also an exploration of her journey with Garte as she had each son

Mellow folk songs that are written by/about Vylad or the Ro'Meave family

Katelyn grief anthem when?

Zane gets awesome evil villain songs to talk about why he's an awesome evil villain

Mystical tunes abound for many of our silly little creatures that inspire whimsy

I can see the song called "Brother's Lament" and it's like a duet song between Gene and Garroth about how they've failed their younger brothers in different ways and the ways in which they cope with it, good and poor

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ANGSTY ASS SONGS ABOUT DANTE WAITING ALL THOSE YEARS FOR APHMAU?? THERE'S AN ENTIRE ALBUM OF SONGS THAT COULD EXIST CALLED "15 Years" AND IT'S JUST ABOUT EVERYONE'S ANGST AROUND IT

Basically, the Samwena of it all is something like:

SAM takes her prisoner, throws his weight away, and makes weird demands surrounding her power.

It's almost like his character in Peace of Mind, if you think too hard about it, lol:

///

But here's the twist. Rowena also is a goddamned piece of work:

*Demon talks about equal work, equal pay* ROWENA SNORTS & says "Tear the man in half!"

///

RE: power

Samwena is also this:

ROWENA (s10): An angel of the Lord, the King of Hell, more power than I could possibly dream of, utterly wasted—

&

SAM (s14, to Chuck): Then why don't you do something? If I had your power—

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it

Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.

I heard this put so well, but hearing somebody say that conversion to judaism isn't just about the good - torah, being part of a peoplehood, the fulfilling parts - it's also about joining the tragic. You join the people who went through the shoah, pogroms, displacement, and all of this throughout history. It's a really scary thought, and I don't imagine it's any easier for jews post-conversion or born jews.

Learning to balance the sense of scale of jewish history with the joy of torah and peoplehood is something that's difficult. The joy must outweigh the horror though, I think. But knowing all of this has made me confident that I am making an informed decision, which makes me even more confident

Spencer Reid had such an awful posture because he was carrying the men's fashion on his back.

Something fun I noticed about Astarion:

So since I am a huge fucking nerd about voice and accents, I noticed that Astarion has a very unique way of speaking. His pronunciation of certain words (ex: when he says "I am" it sounds like "I ahm") sound very Yorkshire-esque (which is also very interesting to me given the general vicinity of Yorkshire to Birmingham, where Astarion's actor, Neil Newbon, is from).

The inflection of Astarion's voice, though, sounds like your typical posh upper class fop. The combination of the two is very much a dichotomy, just like everything else about Astarion and I just think that's neat

Hi! I saw your status and I wanted to say something encouraging, but I am a walking amalgam of awkwardness

And my every attempt at social interaction is a steaming pile of cringe

So please accept this social media "heart" instead of my six rambling paragraphs, each more uncomfortable than the last!

Hey y'all! Do you have any recipes/advice for making your own curry powder? Curry powder spice mix? Idk what it's called, but my brother wants to try making curry and I can't eat any of the curry powder we've been able to find for sale because it has cinnamon in it* *in the US there are three different things that are considered cinnamon for the purposes of food labeling. I am allergic to one of them, not allergic to one of them, and have not tried the third, but since most places don't specify which one they use and just call it "cinnamon" I can't eat anything cinnamon unless I make it myself

I am of the firm opinion that, until EXPLICITLY proven otherwise by canon, Kingdom Hearts Court Magician Donald Duck spent most of his childhood and adolescence traveling across the worlds on adventures with his Uncle Scrooge, and that's where he learned magic.

This is also where he discovered a lot of magical items, not to mention all the ones SCROOGE found, so honestly Donald doesn't even bother to keep track of all the treasures in the Duck Family's possession, no one does really, not even SCROOGE knows, he'll go digging one up because he needs one for a specific purpose/adventure and in the process he'll unearth like five similar ones he just plain forgot about.

Obviously Scrooge continued adventuring while Donald was off being a Musketeer, including at least one use of Zettaflare that is forever engraved in Goofy and Mickey's memories but for Donald was just in his bottom quarter of all-time adventure rankings, and obviously Scrooge continued finding fantastical treasures that he may or may not know the significance of. There's at least one magical sword that's currently being used at the Bistro as a knife because it never loses its edge.

What I'm saying is Scrooge McDuck is a Keyblade wielder and you cannot convince me otherwise. A weapon that can also open any chest is INVALUABLE to an adventurer like him, are you kidding? When he retired from adventuring in favor of being a full-time entrepreneur he just chucked it in the bin with everything else. Probably he managed to find one of the Foretellers' old Keyblades lying around or something. It'd just figure. No one told HIM he was needed for a war between light and darkness for the fate of all the worlds! Donald never tells him where he's been these days!

While I laid out this proposition to a friend on Discord, she agreed and added that Webby should get a Keyblade too.

Conclusion:

This is the current wielder of Ira's Keyblade. Scrooge had it lying around for a decade in some attic somewhere, Webby thought the unicorn was cool, and Scrooge figured, hey! Every child should have a good set of lockpicks for treasure chests and a means of self-defense, and it's not as though he's using it for anything important!

When Donald finds this out, he will be disappointed, but not surprised.
