#it’s a technicality and it’s hilarious

[superectojazzmage]

The whole tension in this arc of Luthen and Kleya having to get the spy device out becomes way more hilarious but also way more fucked up and nightmarish when you remember that Davo is technically THEIR ALLY.

Him helping Mon out with her finances and covering up things for the Rebels on that front in season one is the only reason Luthen's whole goddamned network didn't go up in flames. The dude is clearly not an Imperial. He's a shifty conman/loan shark type, but obviously one who is just quietly operating under the law not working for the Empire. The only possible intel they could get by listening in is MAYBE hearing Imperials make small talk while they're at Davo's parties. Luthen even complains that they haven't gotten anything especially relevant, making it even more inane.

They're literally spying on a guy who is part of their own organization (to some extent at least) and they spend the whole of episode six panicking and stressing over the possibility that said ally will find out about it. What a shitshow. This series really is a leftist infighting simulator.

Hi-hi! For the ship ask game, would you do cumplane or jiuplane? Thanks! 🐰💛

Woo, OKAY. I ship both of these, hell yeah.

Cumplane:

Moshang authors. It has to be Moshang authors. I am pretty sure what happened is that either these Moshang authors wrote Cumplane fics or bookmarked Cumplane fics, and then I just charged straight in.

The shipname is so funny to me. It's utterly undignified. They deserve it. A post I read also pointed out it's a homophone for "complain", which, come on. It's perfect. There's just also something really special about an author and his most beloved hater. Also, in general, I really like paralleling Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe, and pointing out they have really similar tastes in men is hilarious to me.

Not... really? I don't think so? To be honest, I don't really think this a contentious ship. There's nothing I can immediately point out as unpopular.

Jiuplane:

I read a Tossawary ship manifesto and it corrupted me for life. Haha, but honestly, I'm not quite sure? The post above probably had at least a little something to do with it, but this is probably a side effect of enjoying Shen Jiu and Shang Qinghua. The obvious next step, at least for me, is to smash them together.

I suppose I enjoy the juxtaposition of it. Someone who sticks very strongly to dignity contrasted with someone who doesn't care for it. As Tossawary says, Shang Qinghua isn’t going to judge you like fucking Yue Qingyuan and Liu Qingge. It's a funny kind of pair: that cold asshole can pick annnybody in the world to hang out, and he picks Shang Qinghua???

Oh this pairing is way easier to talk about. I don't like fics where Shen Jiu is the only one that suspects Shang Qinghua is a spy to the entire sect. There's technically nothing wrong with the detail itself, but it's a fairly common detail to stick in when you want to glorify Shen Jiu -- when you want to make him smarter than everyone and better than everyone and oh, why didn't we listen to poor Shen Jiu about this. It is a piece of evidence that is often used to absolve him of being a terrible person and give him further value, which I find abhorrent. I also am not a fan of Shang Qinghua and Shen Jiu being friendly towards each other, which I realize sounds weird, but listen to me. There is this sort of... easygoing friendliness and clear enjoyment of each other's company that I've seen, without a hint of tsundereism. It is not right. There is something wrong with it. It is unearned. There is not enough work done for that dynamic to be justified, and that dynamic in the first place is just... so clean. I don't think either of them do clean. They're messy fucking bitches and utterly straightforward amiability does not do that justice. Listen to me: they need to dig their claws into each others' open wounds. THAT is how you earn friendship!!! And also possibly a blood feud!

Obviously this isn't going to happen but I had a thought and I had to share it because it's hilarious:

Tim (as either Angel or Jax) tells the bats Angel is younger than Jax

Tim, internally: it's technically true because Angel's only existed since the hotline started, haha

Meanwhile the bats are losing their minds. Jason is in denial like 'see no this makes sense, because they're clones of Bruce, and Angel is a later and more developed clone, so he's chronologically younger but physically older-'

LMFAOOOOOO omfg imagine because it would actually shift their entire world. how on earth is ANGEL younger ?!?!?!?!? would actually blow their minds

jason's denial is actually cracking me the fuck up. he's trying his best

[tagedeszorns]

Y'know I actually really like this (Cuz WH40K lore, at times it does feel kinda silly, are still fun to read)

Back in the day, they got INCEST OLD MAN YAOI? Well at least I think it's incest cuz weren't they bros?

Sometimes I forgot this fandom is older than me and I'm technically a kid in this fandom, I'm 20 years old and only recently did I join this fandom cuz I saw a really good indie animation series based on this franchise

Hi I'm your new fan

Well hello there!

Happy to have you - and especially happy you are wanting to dive into the lore!

Warhammer is such a lovely 'verse, because there's something for everyone. No matter if you like the little guys (Imperial Guard, Arbites ...), the medium guys (Sororitas, Inquisition ...), the big guys in all flavours of the rainbow (Astartes, Chaos Space Marines, Custodes ...), the strange ones (Genestealers, Cultists ...), the really big guys (Primarchs, Demon Primarchs, the Chaos Gods, the Emperor ...), the kinky guys (Drukhari), the desperate guys (Aeldari), the metallic guys (Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum), the even more metallic guys with so many issues (Necrons), the hungry things (Tyranids) or the fungi (Orks). (Or anybody else I forgot)

Let's get the incest-thing out of the way right in front: Nope, they are not really brothers. It's said by Fulgrim that they aren't. They are experiments basing on similar parameters, nothing more, nothing less. (This wasn't defined back in '99 when that Codex you mentioned was released. But they were just Generals back then) The adressing as "Brother" is strictly the military brotherhood thing. But some love to go overboard with this, so they are calling Astartes from other Legions "Nephew" or "Cousin".

If you like Old Men Yaoi - I would recommend "The Infinite and the Divine" as your first book to dive into. Those two are so very divorced and so very old! It's a truly fun read.

Or, more subtle, The Fabius-Trilogy. Because in the third his ex Hexachires is so very annoying. But maybe it's not the easiest read for beginners, because it profits immensly from the reader knowing the Heresy and the history of the Emperor's Children.

In general, I would advise starting with Horus Rising, because the Heresy is a closed chapter. There are tons of books, but if you start at the first, you will be lead to all the crucial points mostly talked about in fandom. Because Warhammer-Tumblr is heavily centred around the Heresy-stuff in general and the Primarchs particularly. I'm very sad about this, because most people forget about the Astartes, who have the most glorious, tragic, fun and emotionally moving stories, too!

So - again, welcome! Please don't believe anything you see on Youtube, Reddit, TikTok or whatever. It's mostly just dudebros regurging memes and confusing their opinion with facts. Take your time, read stuff for yourself - that's the best way! Ask people for reading recommendations - you get those best from the source of someone obsessing over that particular aspect of Warhammer.

Remember to have fun and to always enjoy the absolutely hilarious way Warhammer pokes fun at fascists!

I love how Nolanverse Batman was like “oh I don’t use guns” and then proceeded to body the hell out of some goons with the disassembled pieces of a rifle

[misspermitted]

Not to randomly talk about Apothecary Diaries, but almost every time Mao Mao talks about Jinshi she uses the most romantic and poetic terms possible but says them with the banal factuality of a nature documentary narrator, and it is absolutely sending me. Like:

Mao Mao, completely deadpan: He is such a heavenly beauty, people would start wars over him.

Mao Mao, legitimately concerned: I best not put makeup on him. If he were made any more beautiful it would topple nations

Mao Mao, watching girls fawn over Jinshi: This makes sense, he has such otherworldly beauty that he would be irresistible to any woman or man

Mao Mao, as if taking a scientific observation: Something must be amiss with Master Jinshi, usually he glitters like the sun

(I’m not overdramatising, these exact narrations happened)

You know what I need more of? The Batkids completely fucking with the Justice League and their rogues and coming up with stories for their existence.

Like I am talking about the creation of demigods sort of stories, like Loki sort of stories.

Duke has convinced all of Gotham that he's the Bat Signal brought to life and that's why he's never seen at night and why the signal literally doesn't work during the day. He's waiting giddily for the story to spread outside of the city.

The batkids have convinced half the League that Nightwing is quite literally Batman's lovechild with Justice. Hey, Constantine had a one night stand with the manifestation of a city and they've dealt with gods before, so surely it's not that surprising? Right???

I need more of the Batkids being little shits, of Alfred the-greatest-enabler Pennyworth backing them up and Bat(the-biggest-troll)man to never confirm the stories, but he doesn't deny them either.

The Blob

Dpxdc Prompt #20

Danny is a blob ghost now and he's fine with that.

Turns out all blob ghosts are just regular ghosts who have expended to much energy and turn into balls of pure ectoplasm and emotion to recharge.

It's honestly a much needed and much appreciated vacation from all of his responsibilities.

He doesn't understand why he's getting so many worship-fear-cowed emotions from these people, but he's a blob right now, he doesn't have to care.

There's one boy that constantly projects awed-love-infatuated towards him. Danny likes him a lot more than all of the other guys.

In the mean time, Ra's Al Ghul has just found what he believes to be the conscious personification of the Lazarus Pits and there is no way he is going to let any of his assassins offend it. If only he didn't have to worry about his grandson being so enamored with the being as well.

Grandfather never let Damian have any pets.

"Distractions," he would say, "Unnecessary attachments."

Damian disagreed, but he was smart enough not to voice his belief. The Demon Head's word is law and he bows to nobody.

Or at least... nobody until the little blob of sentient Lazarus Water.

Grandfather says that it must be the pits personified and therefore needed to be treated with respect so there would be no chance of them being taken away.

Damian has no problem following this rule, he finds the little blob cute, like the pet Damian would never get to have. When nobody's watching he pets the blob, tells it stories about his day, and stays silent as it does happy little purrs.

In the hell that is Nanba Parbat, the blob is a bright spot in Damian's days.

So obviously when he leaves to meet his Father and claim his right as heir to the Cowl he slips the blob into his go-bag. No one will notice, the blob normally floats around as it wishes, sometimes going missing for hours.

By the time Grandfather realizes the blob has been away too long for it to have been without intervention it will have been too late. No one will suspect that Damian took the blob with him.

At least, that's what Damian tells himself to justify taking the little guy with him. He is comforted by the low hum in his bag, the blob is happy, if no one else.

I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more

The Joker canonically sings along to Britney Spears.

I really have seen it all now.

Briar and Apple are actually insane for each having the colour scheme of half the lesbian flag. They make a whole lesbian when put together. What the fuck was that about huh. What was the reason for that.

[starleska]

so, i've noticed a few of you enjoying your short, red bowtie-wearing, completely unhinged, mostly bald, goofy-sounding, bug-associated animated villain with cartoon physics, reality-bending powers, and more than one distinct identity...

...but which one? 😉

[teyrnacousland]

So I was replaying Sea of Blood and I noticed that if you look at the barrier, there are elven letters on it!

Do you know what they say? It's one sentence on repeat, as far as I can tell. Prepare yourselves for the incredible knowledge this underwater barrier has to share us...

It's backwards here, but it says: "I am an underwater barrier"

Currently obsessed with the idea that the boys go to Time for love advice, since "he's married so he knows this stuff right?"

I mean they couldn't recognize a wedding ring??? And neither did he???

And time was saying this in his youth I mean cmon

Twilight: So ancestor. What would you do if like. Malon left to another world and never came back

Time: ... bro Malon called me fairy boy and then we were married like what

Hyrule: So uhh old man. How does one. Meet a girl.

Time: By speaking to her I guess? Or not, Malon did the talking for me

Hyrule: riiiiight...

Wild *no tact*: Hey so like... what if your redheaded wife who's name started with M died.

Time: what?!?!

Wild, undeterred: but like before she proposed.

Time: ...

Wild: and you don't remember if you would have said yes. What's your advice for dealing with that?

Time: ... vent to a fairy?

Warriors: hey old man

Time: no no no not this one asking me please

Warriors: how do I get women to stop coming after me. So I can ya know. Choose without war trying to force me into relationships

Time: I can safely say I've never had that problem captain

Wars: of course not *smirks*

Wars: ok but seriously how do I make them go away

Time: ... wear a wedding ring so they think you're taken, I've got a shiny extra

Time: no no why- they won't stop, I don't know how to do love!

Time: ok well at least I have legend. That kid would never ask for advice, I'll sit by him.

Legend: so old man.

Time, looking forward to a normal conversation: yeah?

Legend: hypothetically, what would you do if you found out Malon didn't exist.

Legend: And her whole world didn't, but it did, and now it doesn't

Time: ...Excuse me for a minute.

Time, writing a letter as fast as he can: MALON HOW DO I GIVE LOVE ADVICE THEY THINK IM WISE

Malon: lol

Happy Valentine's Day guys, have a headcanon :P

The boys go to Time for love advice and Time spouts whatever wise-sounding bs he can, before shoving them all on Malon for therapy when they visit the ranch
