EPIC fans: what else was Odysseus supposed to do?! Scylla was the only way home!!

Me, an intellectual: there WAS a way for Odysseus and crew to get past Scylla without one crew member dying. They previously had a bunch of Sirens at their mercy, so if they so wished, they could have used six sirens to satisfy Scylla’s price.

After all…ruthlessness (to others) is mercy upon ourselves

disclaimer that I don't like the idea of openly assuming things about strangers' identities or their personal lives, especially when you're catching a glimpse of only one part of them they choose to share in the public eye. but it Is very funny when you're reading or watching some interview with a famous person, and they say things that make you do this one comic:

[beatcroc]

Mecha-Sonic, Dr. Robotnik has created other robots based on Sonic and thrown them away before he created you. Do you have any thoughts on this?

[lizasweetling]

it occurs to me that what Martellus did here, is discover that the smart independent woman doesn't want to cater to his needs and let him control her, so he made... another... smart independent woman. and did the same thing.

I like Empress, but I fully expect her to betray Martellus at some point purely because he's kind of insulting at the best of times...

and here we had previously been mostly sure Martellus was able to learn... Maybe it's just this subject that he's a bit extra slow...

damn, I really need to finish that post debunking some famous myths/misconceptions of the Wars of the Roses in 1483-85

[mountmortar]

do you know something i just realized that's really funny to me. my undergrad advisor referring to me as "they" after one (1) video call months before i even started mainly going by they/them

[lavellane]

blowing u a kiss rn @abelas ❤️ i have sooooo many ideas for her life after trespasser i genuinely believe she would be a great candidate for a comic series lmao with the amount of sidequests i have set up for her.....

mainly her priority since trespasser has been learning old/taboo magics and understanding the power that comes with them in a sort of desperate hope to even the playing score between herself and solas. she basically goes into hiding for several years, guiding the inquisition thru decrypted letters between herself and divine victoria (leliana in her worldstate). during those years she goes all over : kirkwall, to interrogate fenris irt his lyrium vallaslin tattoos and their magic nullification abilities, and then staying in the city to learn more about meredith/the red lyrium/the insane blood magic sacrificial altar the whole city seems to be built upon. then back to the frostbacks to train with avaar augurs and learn their techniques with spirits. to revain to study with the seers, to the witches of the wild to study their shapeshifting abilities, to tevinter, to isolated dalish clans, to tal-vashoth, and im sure shes spent time with the wardens and veil jumpers too. just years and years and years of study and practice and building up an arsenal of knowledge while also quietly isolating herself from everyone and seething herself into a frenzy :)

maybe like 2 or 3 years prior to datv is when she Officially returns to the fold as the face of (whats left of) the inquisition. pretty much everyone who knew her is in shock by just how harsh and cold she's become. she was always cranky and impatient, but most of the inner circle understood that she had a lot of kindness under the surface and just struggled to convey it properly. but its harder to find that side of her now. and even if they could, she's too paranoid to let her guard down around ANYONE except the OG advisors . its hard out here !

thought it'd be kinda interesting now we have 25 main heisei/reiwa kamen rider shows to put the consecutive groups of five together and think about how much i like each one

Scrimbly Jacqueline 49/52: T-Posing to assert your dominance is definitely NOT how Jacqueline was envisioning taking down the Clifton Society.

Charlie heard the metal clicks again as something came shooting down from the opposite side of the room. He lunged, covering Jacqueline’s back as the strips came flying towards him. They hit his chest. He let out a whoosh of air from the impact, watching as they fell to the ground with a clatter. Surprised, Charlie pat his entire torso. "They don't work on me?" Two more hit his forearms, promptly falling to the ground. He shoved back his sleeves as best as he could. No shiny marks. “Oh!” Throwing his weight, he shoved Jacqueline to the side, switching places with her. “Charlie, don’t—” “It’s cool! They don’t work on me!” He stuck his arm out for emphasis, another one of the strips bouncing right off him. Jacqueline looked surprised. “Well, shit! That's handy." Colin sneered, the baton tip tap tapping several more spots around him. “You can’t hide behind your human friend forever!”  The pair of Legates heard the metal clanking fill the room as Lady knows WHAT armed all around them. Trying to make himself as big as possible, Charlie stood in front of Jacqueline, arms wide. "Yes she can!" Behind him, Jacqueline looked perplexed. She rolled her eyes with a huff, moving closer to Charlie. “We literally do not have time for this. Hang tight, Charles." And before Charlie could even form a reply, he felt himself be yanked down, snow blasting all around them as they fell towards the couch.

(You can read Part 2 of the Clifton Society Incident HERE and HERE)

Upon editing that behemoth, the MOMENT I realized Charlie was T-POSING IN THAT SCENE?!?!?!?1 I had to make it a scrimbly. I just. HAD to.

This was LAST WEEK'S! This week's is coming to you probably Saturday :)

[Husbando and I are going on an evening adventure to check out the geminid meteor shower outside of the city, so I'll probably get to posting it Saturday depending on how late we stay out--and if we can see anything given we're going in and out of cloud cover around here today! Also, uh, I was a wee bit bad, hehe. I doodled it at work today bc it's about that time chaps (i.e., exam season is waning and there is nobody on the floor but me and my coworker lmao) and they look SO CUTE 🥹🥹🥹]

This week's was ORIGINALLY going to be ANOTHER redraw, this time of THIS scrimbly, but man, Charlie and Jacqueline's shenanigans somehow managed to yeet Jacquie ogling Dite to the curb. WILDIN. Good thing this week's scrimble was a planned diteline, LOL.

Charlie LOOKED good in the sketch, but somehow the hair ended up "late 00s, early 2010s hat hair boy" and I am. Unamused. I've drawn WAY better Charlies, UGH. Gonna have to rewatch the movies, I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ oh nooooooooooooo 😼

Jimin: we're not the same as we were when we debuted, and it's hard to define us now as a group because we can't be neatly placed in a single box. life was simpler when we were young, despite the rigors of coming of age and finding ourselves. our goals and motivations were one dimensional: to make a shared dream reality. but now that we're older and our dream IS reality, the things that drive us have shifted and become more individualized, which has ultimately changed the dynamic of the group and made it more difficult to pin down exactly who we, as BTS, are and how each of our current creative interests align and fit together today and moving forward

Namjin: fuck yeah, we're complex and shit, like villains!

Jimin: ...yeah

and then Seokjin made a pun that may or may not have been on purpose and Namjoon encouraged it. then Seokjin got a little serious for a second and Jimin misread him and laughed and blamed it on Hoseok, who just smiled and nodded like sure, my sweet, tiny child, i will take the fall for you even though i literally did nothing, because i raised you and i love you and i know you didn't mean it and hyung probably won't scold me as bad as he would you because i'm the one who decides when dance practice ends

(paraphrased by me)

[daz4i]

do you think they changed the p3 english cast for "everyone who was originally involved is now too expensive to hire" reasons or "so many of them got into some controversy since so we may as well recast everyone at this point"

[novelhater]

currently reading a bl that i don't care very much for but i keep hitting next chapter because the readers all vocally loathe the ml yet all still diligently show up in the comments section to rant about him every single time like they're clocking into work. you hate him so much but you're still here...

[beevean]

Just an experiment. Obviously the run can be improved, but I had tons of fun trying to dash through the castle as quickly as possible (while still minding enemies and hearts to collect).

I used this color hack for the novelty of it, since shaders don't appear in recorded videos.

Anyway Maxim Mode is a ton of fun and HoD is a game I enjoy a lot <3

💔 BROKEN HEART — is there anyone in your life you wish you had a better relationship with? if so, how come? what makes this person important to you?

in-character chara dev questions!!

"Whoever I care - or don't care - about isn't any of your business though? Heck off."

"...Besides, it's not just a single person. It's my whole family. If I could just... if I wasn't so..." A frustrated pause. "Whatever. Forget it. Being a Harbinger should already disqualify me from being a 'good' or 'good enough' person anyway - that means if I've ruined my relationships with my family, that's only to be expected.

"And if my family still cares about me anyway—they really shouldn't. What sort of "loving" daughter am I if I don't actually try my best to see them? It's been more than seven years now and I haven't even replied to a single letter of theirs. I'm the one ruining any relationships I have and you know what, it's fine, perfectly fine! This is just fine! That's just how I am and I guess that's just how it will be—!"

.

(And for a world just a little to the side, a branch split away but not too far—)

.

"Though, if I could have a better relationship with anyone... I guess... my brother. One of them. That one.

"Now don't misunderstand me! Me and my big brother get along just fine if you ask me, all things considered. But I still don't like him compared to the rest of our family - and it's not because he's a bad person or anything! He's just, well. He's an—okay person, you know? He's fine! But... for the most part, his personality...

"No, it's not even that actually. It's his... attitude. That's right, his stupid attitude to everything! To fighting, specifically. Like why does he want to fight everything, and so much? What the hell is he trying to prove? What does he need to prove? Like, what the hell! What's wrong with him! There shouldn't be any need to go to all the deranged lengths that he does for so many difficult fights and like—argh!"

A frustrated foot stomp. "Why? Why! We were literally fighting for our lives down in that stupid place and we barely managed to get back home in one piece, much less together! And then he goes around pitching fights at whatever like, what broke in his stupid little brain, huh? Why won't he just sit down and eat some god damn bread and go fishing and not fight everything like a normal person?! Ughhh!!

"If he just weren't so—so stupid!! Dummy head! Idiot! He's so stupid dummy idiot head that I can only chase after him and make sure he isn't tripping back into hell because he's just that much of a dummy! And then, he has the gall to say I should stay at home with Mama and everyone else, spouting my arguments against me! Dummy! Fuck that!

"If he's going to keep being this way, I'm not going home until he goes home, and if one of us has to stay in this stupid job, it's not going to be him! And if he wants to complain about it, then he should have listened to me the first time and become a fisherman instead!"

[satanfemme]

speaking of horror you guy should watch funny games, please please please. I watched it a few weeks ago, didn't really get it/enjoy it, and then a few days ago I was thinking about it and it finally clicked with me. and I was like Oh!!! this is great actually!!! and I'm probs gonna rewatch it soon. my selling point for u is it's like scream but for pretentious adults.

[shidoukanae]

drawing for a scene in the TME light novel (specifically, Paris helping out Lyla!!).

I drew this scene immediately after I read it because oh my god of all the things I was expecting from Paris's first introduction, him lending a (unneeded) helping hand to Lyla was NOT what i thought his first introduction would be like
