#I used to make these all the time as a teenager#this one is just a skeleton model#the finished Toothpick People would get clothes/skin/hair from colored thread#I made a couple excellent dragons and gargoyles with cellophane wings#and a wizard I still remember fondly#good times#I described it all to someone new today#who suggested a dab#how could I resist?#fyi superglue isn't any faster-setting than white glue#it's just stronger once it does#and more annoying to get on your hands#anyway this is fun and I recommend it#arts & crafts#toothpick people

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !
Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)
I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!
someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)
uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE
#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 4 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 4 spoilers#mel is so cute but mal fits with the rest of the draconias better#eng version no you were supposed to save me not make things MORE confusing#anyway raverne huh#that uh. that sure feels like it's supposed to evoke raven doesn't it.#what does it mean WHAT DOES IT MEAN#hold on i'm going to flail around embarrassingly about anime character theories now#(okay first a disclaimer: i do think we need to sit down as a fandom at some point)#(and have a discussion about exactly what is actual canon versus meta speculation versus jokes)#(because i think there has been. some confusion. over that re:crowley and raverne specifically)#(but i do feel justified in being like THEY ARE PROBABLY CONNECTED SOMEHOW RIGHT?! right now)#like i really don't think it's as simple as crowley being raverne but with memory loss or something#(and if they pull that on us i'm going to need an EXTREMELY good explanation to go with it to justify that)#they've gone out of their way several times now to make a point about them acting and sounding different and it feels very intentional to m#(and once again: i super 100% absolutely do not believe that lilia wouldn't recognize him with the top half of his face covered)#i just think the contradictions are a lot stronger than the connections right now but there ARE some connections and i'm 👀ing at them#to be fair the connections are mostly meta like crowley being diablo/raverne being evocative of raven#also the general 'raverne mysteriously disappeared and apparently had distinctive eyes' thing#versus 'crowley's past is unknown and he never shows his eyes'#(i will argue that crowley DOES seem to have some kind of canon connection to briar valley)#(since he is clearly some sort of fae and the masks are a briar valley thing)#and that is kinda it right now isn't it#okay hold on i had to delete some tags because i used too many (thanks tumblr for letting me know and not just vanishing them OH WAIT)#so tl;dr: i'm in the 'crowley is connected to raverne somehow but it's more complicated than just him being in disguise' camp personally#but that will probably change as we get more info and also don't take this as an anti-speculation thing because i love theories HOORAY

I don’t even fully know why but “what do I do when I miss you so much?” / “Just wait, and pray desperately” was a knife to my heart in the best way.
#crash landing on you#my grandma once said most of life was waiting and praying#and when he said it it just resonated so deeply#I think because. it’s not like a revelation or anything#but I think it’s just because she was suffering so much and had suffered so much#and so in that moment#he just takes care of her so completely and gives her hope. and not a false hope#a true one#and on deeper reflection the ending does work within the context of this (in my opinion) most powerful scene#/ apex of the show#it’s just the tone that’s a little wrong. that’s too aesthetic-y.#because the kind of steady way he keeps taking care of her from afar. and the slow build of her recovering but continuing to hope#couldn’t lead them anywhere except a happy ending. even if the final pieces of it couldn’t be unraveled (or put together)#by the show’s writing. so it just kind of has to fade to black so to speak#because the characters have been so steady and consistent a) in their personalities motivations and desires#and b) in their love for each other! that never falters or betrays a false note#and it’s the truest thing you’re left with. which is why—again—I actually think the problem might have been the tone#I would have gone for something more muted. I would have had them be talking and/or arguing a little more in their old way#to keep and sustain the idea that there is more work ahead for them that we’re just not going to see#but that is ultimately a kind of nitpick. and the take me to the lakes vibe of that final#scene is also not untrue.#also circling back for a second can I just SAY. that I love the balance of their vulnerabilities#there are such clear and distinct times where one of them is stronger and the other more vulnerable#and it’s sooooo perfect to watch and gives you many instant layers#anyway I’m crying in this Chili’s tonight (*my bed at 7:00 am)

I think it's interesting that people are interpreting what akutami said about gojo losing the fight as "Gojo is the strongest and would have won if xyz hadn't happened" as if CE efficiency, cunning, and adaptability aren't part of the reason why Sukuna is the strongest.
Like yes, he has a good technique, honed and refined and powerful, but that's only part of what made him powerful. Everything else was because he was incredibly shrewd and cunning and quick to adapt in battle.
Gojo lost because his brain was hemorrhaging because he lost the domain battles and sustained so much damage. Sukuna sustained just as much and was still out-thinking him without the six-eyes' perception.
He was still one step ahead, and gojo might have won if he had been more alert, but in the end, he just wasn't. He underestimated Sukuna's extreme adaptability and it was his downfall
#Once again I am asking people to critically examine the source material and not rely on machine translation or buzz articles#Just because someone has a stronger technique does not mean that they will win or that the sorcerer themself is stronger#Because it also comes down to the fact that they both sustained similar amounts of damage and Sukuna was still able to outsmart Gojo#Because that *is* part of being strong#Battles are about more than just cursed techniques they are about strategy and adaptability as well#Which is why it took them a month of dedicated planning to even come close to defeating sukuna#and even then that was while he was in someone else's body living simply as a curse#It is a tragedy. JJK is a love story and a tragedy#with a shit ton of religious symbolism#odt#gojo's defeat was a tragedy#but sukuna won because he was more adaptable and cunning and didn't lose himself to the heat of the battle

Hi folks! It seems like people are discovering that there are people online who write some WEIRD! 👎 stuff for Nevermoor. Some tips and tricks for dealing with that:
Don't engage. Don't read the fics. Don't even comment to say how much you hate it.
Don't spread it around. It's gross as hell, I know! But being like "ew, guys, I found this gross fic" just means you're causing more people to seek out said gross fic, and that's just not great. If you don't want to see it, no one else wants to either.
If you can: block, mute, or filter. I don't really use any fanfic sites to know if these functionalities exist, but I'm sure people online have found ways. Edit: here's a way to do it on Ao3.
TL;DR: Ignore, Ignore, Ignore. 👍
(PS: Same thing goes for when people send weird inappropriate anon messages. Just delete them from your inbox and don't subject others to them.)
This is unfortunately something that's been present for years in the fandom, on both Ao3 and Wattpad. This is also why I essentially don't read Nevermoor fics unless they're for Mogtober, and even then I'm cautious. I have seen some weird stuff written about my favorite characters that I wish I could pluck from my brain and set on fire, or worse! But when I stumble across that stuff, I just quickly close the tab and pivot to something else to get my mind off of it.
We should not entertain these types of people in a fandom full of minors about a middle grade series, so: just don't engage with them, ignore them, filter them out, and maybe even drown them out with some fics of your own.
#good talk 👍#nevermoor#nevermoor fandom#nevermoor fanfic#why oh why does this fandom attract the occasional weirdo.#I'd be using stronger language when talking abt these types of folks but i'd prob get banned.#as an adult in this fandom I feel I have a responsibility to keep folks safe from weirdos 👍 i've banned folks on discord + i'd do it again#years ago there was a weird af fic on ao3 that I noticed folks were kudos'ing and I had to be like. hey guys pls don't do that 😭#unfortunately ao3 moderation and rules are NONEXISTENT!!! so there's nothing ppl can do except the stuff above :/#and I wouldn't know abt wattpad bc I went on there once to see what mogtober stuff ppl wrote and was horrified and noped out of there 😬#anyways. all the more reason to participate in mogtober. so everyone's writing stuff in order to bury the gross stuff. creation for a cause#(and bc mogtober is fun and everyone should participate. lol)#soz for the psa folks but I deemed it necessary 🤷 feel free to enjoy the art I just posted as well#just been on the internet toooo long and don't like the thought or reality of young folks being exposed in any way to this kind of stuff. 😕#couldn't figure out where to fit this emoji in so here: 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. thats me and my constant feeling whenever this stuff pops up again. 😑

have I mentioned that I don't like this whole 'will & el are twins' and also 'twins in media always end up absorbing each other like in the womb' thing stranger things has going on
#stranger things#the kids not being on the wrong channel in s1 because el is channeling will#they just need a stronger radio#combine forces#robin being like yeah we just need to combine#she has the girls of her dreams but can't do shit about it (will)#steve goes on a million dates but has no idea what he wants (el)#if they just combined all their problems would be solved#like shut UPPPPP CAN THESE KIDS BE HAPPY FOR ONCE#THEY'RE NOT IN THE WOMB ANYMORE LEAVE THEM ALONE#although the upside down does have some birthing imagery going on with the gates that i Do Not Like#el coming out of the wall in s2e1 looks so much like a rebirth like shut UP can she be HAPPY#she doesn't feel like she belongs anywhere what if i- [i am dragged away]#*s2e2 el was barely in ep 1. my bad

one of my favorite things about doctor who is that, by necessity from the ever-rotating cast of companions and the doctor’s own changing face, you could never possibly argue that there’s one single pairing for the doctor to get with that would be the True One For Them. they’ve lived too long, loved too much, for it to ever be just one person.
#for one: it’s poly central up in here. but beyond that: it’s just written into who they are as a character. the doctor loves and loses and#loves again.#and its hardly a thing reserved to him. a big part of jack’s whole deal is that he does fall in love so easily and so often and he remembers#got little tidbits of all his ex-boyfriends stored away in memory and yet. that long and growing line of lovers never once is presented as a#reason that him and ianto aren’t special. of course they are. they all are.#doctor who is not a show that can say ‘you will find your one true love and that’s it forever.’ it doesn’t work like that.#the closest you get! is amy and rory! and their relationship is also defined by both of their trust and love for the doctor. he’s the third#part of them! their relationships don’t lessen each other but make each one stronger!#if that makes sense.#‘who is the doctor’s true love: rose - river - that girl from thirteen. yaz? i think? - the master lol - a classic who companion i don’t#even know about - the tardis herself - ….k9? - etc.?’ WRONG. INCORRECT ASSUMPTION IN YOUR QUESTION.#its all of them forever.#doctor who

writing about the isat gang fighting is so fun. sif and mira are so smrpg bros attack coded to me, and sif and isa are like kris and susie. do you understand
#sif and mira work together flawlessly and pull the most dramatic yet elegant attacks against stronger sadnesses#while isa would just pick up the little rogue and throw them as far as he could to dive bomb a sadness#all of them attacking at once would turn into a looney tunes cloud#does this make any sense to anyone else. please#busy.🐝

had the most braindead repetitive conversation/argument with my parents. buzz cuts are too masculine but if you dye a design on it it become effeminate which is bad because then you look weak and if youre weak then society falls apart (all societies ever that have fallen apart for any reason are actually because of feminine men) and we start sacrificing babies. and also all mental illness is invented because only 4 people had anxiety in the 90s and covid was made up so that we would all become gay and trans and then the government can control us better and be joe biden's little sex slaves. and also i need to keep my hair long because my father finds it attractive. what
#lolaa.txt#what do i even tag this with . my mother wouldn't let me leave and i kept asking for sources and she kept saying 'i'm your mother!!!'#'i wouldnt lie to you!'#okay. say that to someone maybe who doesnt know you lie to them all the time.#its tiring going around in circles with her.my father is better because at least he admits when he doesnt have a reason for feeling some wa#also what got me. she said 'do you own research if you want!! but im right!!!'#yeahh not seeing anything about anything you just said. i think you made that up.#i have a theory that my mother secretly hates herself because she believes all women are weak and must serve strong men#and my father has so so much trauma and anxiety that he cant be that strong man#so now she feels like shes betraying her very biology when she has to step up.#and also because i am stronger than her now and my hair is long and far far denser than hers and i have a younger face#that she feels that im wasting my precious femininity that she could be using. does that make sense.#shes so miserable trapped in her idea of what makes a man and a woman what they are. once you stop caring about what makes someone somethin#you dont have to worry about anyone else.#im queer because i dont really feel that connection to biological and social ideas of gender that my parents seem to#never really have#im not gonna theorize 'ohh shed be happier nonbinary' or stuff like that because it is up to you and you alone to define who you are#if you spend your whole life trying to fit a box for the sake of fitting the box#then when would you have any space for self discovery#youve invented personality traits to go along with your box. now you can never ever change or grow as a person. congrats#and you know what? one day she will die. and that will be the end of that.#and i will live and i will probably shave my head a thousand times. and come up with new names#and new ways to be a better person that makes me feel happy#and i will dress like a boy because its all made up anyways. who cares.#and if you care? that much about what im wearing or how i look?#then thats your problem and i wont be responsible to maintain your happiness.#SORRY RANT OVER.#im just so flabbergasted. what a sad life someone can lead poisoned by jealously and reactive rhetoric.#tw homophobia#tw transphobes

[ HC: René's parentage ]
On a similar note to this post about Alastor,
René's father is also a Goetia: Furfur, a deer creature said to hold power over attraction between men and women. This is part of the reason René is so obsessed with forming connections to others and acting on any attractions he feels (even if he doesn't know they're related).
Like Alastor, he doesn't know anything about his father's origins until they're reunited in Hell. By default, I write him as if that hasn't happened yet.
#René | headcanons#why is he so weak then you might ask#the answer is#Idfk dude#it's possible he just hasn't gotten in touch with his power yet in a sort of late bloomery way#and maybe once he does (in combination with Nwar) he'll be even stronger than Al who knows#but probably not#🤣#anyway he *does* have a natural Vibe about him that tends to attract others...for better or worse

so tired of manhwa protagonists getting dragons u_u
#especially when theyre essentially side characters that are thrown aside once the mc gets a little stronger... come on man#tcf does it well because 1) cale didnt WANT raon to come w him 2) raon is the next main character after cale#solo leveling was fine too because it wasnf one kf his main summons w a personality it was basically just a glorified uber#but like... come on.

would b rly nice & awesome if I was like. capable of making & keeping friends & they didn't keep running off or overreacting at the first mention of "hey. maybe you're not treating me so great."
#idk like. I'm giving him time to actually listen to what i have to say & actually think ab it#but he talked all this big game ab deconstructing his masculinity#& hating domination in all it's forms#but when presented with the idea that maybe he hasnt fully done that & is purposefully avoiding being vulnerable w/ us#bc it makes him feel stronger or w/e#his response was basically just. “im not sure i do that#“i think i live honestly#“ig ill think ab it”#& when i said “im ur friend & want to get closer to you & im being vulnerable to say so”#his response was literally “i am satisfied with our friendship”#WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??#does that mean 'im satisfied with the exact level of our friendship & do not want or need it to get deeper'#(sucks but at least hes communicated with us & we can all approach it evenly)#or does it mean 'im satisfied with the way our friendship is developing & am open to it getting deeper as well'#(which would be nice)#or some secret third option????#but unfortunately he DOESNT COMMUNICATE#just getting kinda tired of not just openly talking & communicating & having to stumble around in the dark bc he doesnt just wanna speak-#-vulnerably with his chest#esp when he tells me to read a book thats basically 60% like 'dont do that'#WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME MAN???#id rly love to believe that just once cis men can be cool & fun & grow & learn & change & show vulnerability at the v least when asked.#fruitpost#🍀
