You guys ever think about the implications of the dca's unmoving faceplate?

I don't know exactly what material it's made of, but I'd assume metal or plastic or a similar unyielding substance. There probably aren't any active sensors there, besides something light-sensitive to allow for the color-swap when switching between Sun and Moon - otherwise, I doubt any further complications would be added to their design, considering Fazco's determination not to waste a single penny.

But think about it - obviously, by that logic, Sun and Moon can't feel their face. If you were to cup their cheeks and hold either side of their faceplate, they wouldn't understand the feeling you're trying to convey.

They'd feel the pressure, sure - but nothing else, nothing tangible. There is no warmth that passes from your palm to their stylized cheek, no soft touch or careful sincerity; only an empty number calculated by the uptick of an empty, unfeeling machine which knows the meaning of the gesture only through the understanding that others have.

Even so, it cannot convey its gratitude; its plastic smile does not bend to the will of emotional facsimiles. Its eyes cannot crinkle with mirth. It can only let out a garbled, artificial expression of gratitude, processed by a microchip the size of the tip of its cold fingers, sent through an electrical current to create a wavelength of sound that you can process - a mere echo of what you send from your heart to their hollow chest cavity.

"I was gonna say you're like a son to me.. but you're more than that."

"It ain't that complicated!"

How quickly that shoulder pat of comfort turned into a condescending one.

still re-reading through the dragon ball trilogy manga and just cracking myself up about how Vegeta has this very Visible Famous Corporate Wife and has probably had to go with her to events,

and I've always really enjoyed the underrated trait that pre and post breakdown/identity crisis Vegeta is very in his element lying to people and being maliciously compliant and snarky and my hot take is that the Freeza Force is probably also very corporate and political when you get down to brass tacks

so just imagine with me the wildly unexpected comedy of Vegeta getting hauled to one of these things thinking it's going to be aWFUL only to find it is terribly familiar and he knows exactly how to operate in this space, actually, but because he is An Alien who used to work as A High Ranking (Self-Described) Thug for an Intergalactic Dictator and you can't just Say That -- he's just having the time of his life playing 'what can I say without saying it' like:

Corporate Partygoer: Oh, you're Bulma's husband! She said you retired quite young?

Vegeta, just going along with whatever Bulma lied about: ...Yes.

Corporate Partygoer: Wow, you must have done very well for yourself! What did you do for work?

Vegeta: ...Real estate. :)

Corporate Partygoer: Oh, how lucrative, no wonder! Private?

Vegeta: Commercial. Surveying, acquisitions, that sort of thing.

Corporate Partygoer: Wow, so like property negotiation deals?

Vegeta, about to get dragged away by his wife: Hostile takeovers, mostly—

if i had a nickel every time magneto, charles, and amelia were all featured on a cover that framed them as having a wack love triangle then im sure im missing more than just these two but im still baffled i naturally found two so easily anyway

[the-sussy-imposter2]

So i was thinking about making some characters and a story to post about here (with the purpose of comfort vore and so on, all that jazz) and i think i came up with the best thing ever.

It started as some characters to accompany my sona, and turned into a full circus. So. PLEASE. Let me know if you guys want the full thing.

(Btw, jest is my sona, and all these characters still need names !! Other than the tall shadow guy (billy, my dear husband :3) and the clown girl with the balloons, who is named bingo balloon, or maybe bingo baby. I havent decided yet, but im leaning towards balloon. Oh and the jack in the box flower, her name is bloomy)

If i were to go all out with this story, id rebrand this blog to "jests circus of delights" and share little comic scenarios of all these characters and their shenanagins (and maybe also allow asks and requests and stuff about the cast and all that, yknow, let people interact with it in a sfw way of course)

But i wanna know what you guys think :3 also, prompt for anyone reading or rbing, who do you think is pred, and who do you think is prey? (Also, for bingo balloon, shes canocially fifteen, so please just try and be normal and not weird !! This is sfw vore only, no matter the age of the characters, either)

Siedzę na tumblr od jakoś 2k20??? (Z przerwami niestety) Chyba coś takiego. Wcześniej trzeba było radzić sobie samemu. Ale z prawdziwymi motylkami było lepiej.

Teraz mam wrażenie że te depreszyn dziewczynki z tiktoka psują tą społeczność. Co o tym sądzicie? Ja osobiście mam żal że ktoś wpadł na taki idiotyczny pomysł żeby przenosić to na tt.

Trzymajcie się chudo skarby❤��

hrmg... thinking about fallout new vegas again.... (<-is always thinking about fallout new vegas)

[hearthomelesbian]

first murim is so key to my understanding of yoo joonghyuk. because the thing is that she spent a really long time in the second round just hanging around breaking the sky sword saint. doing whatever she asked, even when it ended up with her being beaten or shaved bald or it was a useless task altogether or all of the above. and in the 'dumplings made by others' side story, they say that yjh didn't even need to stick around to learn breaking the sky swordsmanship! that she learnt it basically immediately!! so all of that being towards the purpose of learning breaking the sky swordsmanship is just a more practical excuse for the emotional root of it all (yjh loves logical guises. for example: "i'm going to the demon realm because i don't like people impersonating me and there are good hidden items, and NOT to save kim dokja or anything").

but the truth is that btsss gave yoo joonghyuk a birthday. her signature sword form. the startings of transcendence. a sense of belonging somewhere, of home, which is something she so desperately searches for and wants throughout all of orv. yoo joonghyuk isn't shown to be particularly sentimental, but when she comes back to the first murim, even kim dokja can tell she's nostalgic. both of the swords she uses for the majority of main story (breaking the sky sword and black heavenly demon sword) are murim swords. her favourite food is from the first murim.

the reason yoo joonghyuk doesn't want to go back to the first murim is because losing all of that in the second turn is something incredibly tender and raw for her and she doesn't want to think about it!! she doesn't want to face btsss after she watched her die! after she failed to save her!! ("have you protected all that you wanted to protect?") she doesn't want to face a btsss that doesn't remember her!!

(as an aside: i think it is incredibly telling that the only food we see yjh eat that is made by another person is those dumplings. its no surprise that in a story so focused on connecting with others, food is symbolic when it comes to connection - multiple times lines are drawn between the two, but what comes to mind in particular for me is kim dokja, lonely and hungry in his tiny apartment, eating while reading twsa; and yoo joonghyuk, alone in space and missing her companions, eating while reading orv. yoo joonghyuk's refusal to eat food made by others is, in part, symbolic of her refusal to truly connect to others due to the pain of that connection. but she will still eat murim dumplings!)

it is compelling to me that while yoo joonghyuk seems determined to put any past connections behind her, she isnt entirely capable of it once those past connections are in eyeshot. she tells kim dokja just to kill lee seolhwa, and then when they're shopping together yoo joonghyuk stands in front of her in a crowd to stop her from getting knocked around, and takes medicine without complaint once she's told it's at lee seolhwa's request. she keeps yoo mia at arms length but then feeds her like a baby bird and gives her affection. she tries, multiple times, to avoid seeing breaking the sky sword saint, and then shares memories and vulnerabilities with her anyway. she is one of the only people (if not the only person) that yoo joonghyuk shares her memories of the previous turn with. she is one of the only people yjh is emotionally vulnerable with. she is the only person yoo joonghyuk uses honorifics for (excluding the odd affectionate "mia-yah"). she takes care of yoo joonghyuk. she's her master! i am losing the plot but you understand
