#it's the same thing with quill

John Walker

okay, I hate Walker as much as the next person, but there's one thing I disagree with. Whenever someone trashes him, they always bring up him murdering that person, and calling him a psychopath or something. But tell me this, if you just witnessed your best friend, the person you can always lean on, murdered, would you not act the same?

I can tell you right now, if someone killed my best friend (Or my brothers, or my cousin), I'd be getting revenge, I'd wanna kill someone.

So why are y'all acting like that's the worst thing about him?

this stinker, Tma character sheet #6!

One of my favorite parts about the writing of Howl's Moving Castle is how easy it is to write off all the things from our world at first as him just being a weird wizard™ (also thanks to bestie @jutenium for spotting this I wouldn't put it like that without you!!/pos). Sure, Sophie uses weird descriptions, but readers have every reason to believe them because of the way Howl is presented as a character. When Sophie says he wrote with a quill that doesn't need an ink, you wouldn't think it was actually a ballpoint pen, you would think Howl had just enchanted his quill so that it wouldn't need ink! When she adds that she can't make out a single word, you think he has matchingly terrible handwriting, but in fact Sophie has simply never seen a pen writing. When she sees the mysterious labels on his books, you think he's keeping a lot of obscure magical literature, but it's really just an encyclopedia and a guide like "Top 10 Rugby Tips." When Sophie notices the bottles in Howl's bathtub, you think they're some kind of magical jars where he keeps girl's hearts, but I'm almost certain that they're just 'Dove' and 'Head and Shoulders' that he's enhanced with his spells and put silly labels on. When you read Calicifer singing a song in a language Sophie doesn't understand, you think it's some kind of ancient cipher or code, but it's actually just a rugby song in Welsh that Howl sings when he's drunk. And finally, when you see the terrifying black door, which is completely shrouded in darkness, you imagine a passage to an eerie, mythical place, similar to what Miyazaki showed us - but it's just fucking Wales.

rip to anyone thinking the show has nothing left to give like did you not listen to djenks when he said he has a 3 series arc in mind, did you not see ed gazing at stede during lucius and pete’s wedding because that man wants to put a ring on it so bad, were you not there when zheng very loudly said she wants to find ricky and kill him for what he did, do you think they can just slaughter a dozen british and escape by the skin of their teeth and that be the end of it? there is still a giant fucking looming threat to the pirates and it will absolutely extend to ed and stede’s ramshackle inn whether they think they’ve truly retired or not (not to mention the new conflicts they’ll face trying to get this new venture up and running, that will be a sitcom in of itself). anyway revenge is still on the water and i don’t just mean the ship and i cannot wait to see how it all goes down. praying we actually get to.

[idolomantises]

hi! big fan of your art! ive seen you post about make the exorcist fall in love and im wondering if the deadly sins designs have influenced yours at all since reading it? its definitely made me reconsider lust designs for my own stuff lol

Not at all really! Funnily enough, while I like the general character designs in the manga, I actually don't really like the deadly sins designs except for Asmodeus, Leviathan and Beelzebub (somewhat).

Seeing Asmodeus's design again did make me want to rework mine though. I felt like my og design was lacking anyways, so I hope to give her a more extravagant outfit.

i've decided to buy myself a Fancy Fountain Pen and am pretty sure i've decided on the model but i'm on the fence between these two colours

Do you happen to know facts about Porygon-Z…

Porygon Z Facts

(Art by inyo 24 on Danbooru)

-The scientific name for Porygon Z is "Fractis Polygonus" which roughly translates to "Broken polygon"

-As of now, the Porygon line is one of the only Pokemon the public is aware of that was made in a lab. They also have a copyright, so other companies can't make them

-Porygon Z is also the newest Pokemon evolutionary wise due to the fact that they have no ancestors or relation to other pokemon whatsoever. They were just made in the early 200s

-While Porygon Z are very strong, they are very weak and have sacrificed their stability for strength, which is why they are so glitchy and have erratic movements

-There is a theory that Porygon Z were made to travel to different dimensions, however, this theory has not been confirmed. The Pokedex talks like it has been, but when asked about it, Silph Co. denied anything

-But, Porygon Z do very well in space because they don't need to eat or breathe. Many Space Organizations will send Porygon Z into space due to their unique abilities as well

-Porygon Z also don't feel any pain, but they can feel when something is wrong. To them, it just feels like an unscathed itch

-Porygon Z can't die of old age or illness. BUT, they can die from computer viruses. If your Porygon, any member of the line, gets a virus, take them to a computer specialist, not the vet

-The entire Porygon line is able to breed asexually. I'm going to be honest, I don't fully know how they sexually breed with other Pokemon because their genes are entirely code. Researchers at first thought it'd be a ditto situation, where crossbreeds are impossible, but they are able to crossbreed. Now, they think it's something about the code potentially editing their sperm to fit their mate if it's a different species, but I'm still confused about it myself

-Porygon Z and the rest of it's kine can go in phones, but they prefer computers (this is why I plan to get a rotomphone soon bcuz I feel bad using a poryphone). Porygon Z are known for doing terrible in phones however, because their glitchiness constantly makes the phone break

-Despite first being made in the 1990s, there are some old Hisuian texts depicting members of the Porygon line. Researchers believe that this is due to the Space-Time distortions that plagued ancient Hisui

-The entire line don't have hearts. Or internal organs. I genuinely don't even know how this thing is alive

-Porygon Z do have a brain, but it's code and is scattered across their body and moves around constantly, making their behavior and psychology difficult to study

-Their antenna can pick up on radio waves which help them find technology

-Porygon Z can injure themselves if they glitch out too much, so be prepared to put them into their pokeball if this happens. Their glitchy nature can also damage code, so be weary of that too

Got called out in chat for being bad at marvel rivals for the first time and I’m being SO brave about it o7

[just-an-enby-lemon]

Still talking about RQG!WIlde and magic.

Except now I know I am very stupid and only now realized that an important fact about his curse is that if he can't sleep he can't get long rests (unless he gets really creative) so he can't refresh his spells. At all.

This could serve to explain how the fuck he casted a spell to protect him from the heat in Damascus when bards noticiably don't have acess to Endure Elements. He had to already be looking for alternative ways to use magic. This also means that before the cufs he was already progressivaly losing his magic somewhat. He likely couldn't actually do much but cantrips at Damascus since he either had no spell slot or was trying to spare the few he had for a huge necessity.

It does break my Minor Ilusion abuse idea. But it makes sense.

So we all know the cinnamon roll analogy but I don't think George fits into any of them so I've created a new one specifically for him:

Sees cinnamon roll, eats cinnamon roll

Hi!! 3, 4 and 11?

hi quill!! thank you!!!

3. What were your top five books of the year?

oh let's see! 1. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke i loved it wholeheartedly it was so so cool. such a good take on academic abuse and the atmosphere!!!!!! i love you piranesi by susanna clarke.

2. is probably The Tombs of Atuan tied with A Wizard of Earthsea! I've been eyeing the Earthsea series for a while now and I had a great time reading books 1--4, and I loved these two lots and lots. what wonderful characters!!!!! Ged's little rodent guy i miss you forever

3. Utolsó napok by Baróthy Zoltán. it's set in the national library of hungary and it's extremely accurate because the author used to work there, so you can follow him through the reading halls and the reserves and the plot is what you'd expect from an archivist. it's actually quite similar to Piranesi in many respects, which, obviously, i liked. if you're hungarian go and read Utolsó napok, it's an interesting read.

4. The Master and Margarita!!! im insabe!!!!!!

5. Jeeves in the Offing. incredibly silly plot!!! bertie is treated like a human being in this one which is good because he's usually not.

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

yeahhh can I just repeat myself by saying Susanna Clarke again. also I'd read Wodehouse before but only this year did I really get into his books but at least now I did. and 44% of the books i read this year were by him so it's only fair to mention him!

11. What was your favourite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

I only read 3 books that were published in the past twelve months this year, but I don't know what else counts as a while. can i say piranesi

[quilleth]

Hmm I suppose I should stop being anxious about ordering the bodies I need for dolls and order them soon, since who knows what kinds of shipping situations there will be come January, especially on goods from China
