I understand this is supposed to be Very Cool(™) but I'm laughing because it's just serving this vibe for me:

I can't take it seriously. The man's like 5'5", and the hand that is off-screen is probably shaking.

Has Aventurine killed people and is he perfectly capable of killing again? Yes.

Is his personality in my head the fictional equivalent of a red panda rearing up on its back legs to try to look big and scary? Also yes.

Tumblr straight up just advertising me cigarettes, Viagra, drugs, lingerie, religious proselytizing (they're playing both sides so they always come out on top), legit video game porn (not pictured because Jesus Christ that was ACTUAL porn), and the coup de resistance: FAMILY GUY MASTURBATION INCEST 😭.

Genuinely, WHO does it think I AM.

And are the "children we have to think about" in the room with us right now? This is even missing some of the worst offenders. Oh oh I forgot the straight up cult they advertised! Their crusade against so called "NSFW" on this site has never once actually been about "protecting the children." It's been about having a flimsy excuse to spread and inflict their hate and prejudice and selling the marketing rights to the highest bidder, children be fucking damned, (and if they are damned, well do we have an AD FOR YOU! Have you heard of our Lord and Saviour, Click Now! Now! Now! Click now! Click or be damned forever! N̶̻̟͓̣̲͖̗̿̑̉̃̓̀̑̂Ǫ̷̨̲̟͓̮̪̲̞̱̪̩̱̳̲̬̖̲̦̣̠̹͈̒̐ͅͅẈ̸̧̠̠̟̽̍̃͗̅̃̽̓̐͒͆̈̓̈͘͘͝!̷̯̘̼̣͖́͌̾̓̎͊͘

Hi!

The other day I sent you a question and I don't know if you've received it. It was about stunts and how much control you think they both have over those things.

Hi, Anon! I miss a lot of asks because I’m putting in more hours doing the timeline (like I said before, answering anons could take a lot of time because I overthink my answers).

But I think this was you, wasn’t it?

And to add a bit more. Just because they’re getting advice or being guided doesn’t mean they’re being handed the best options to choose from. They’re clearly making the most of what they’ve got, even if the choices are limited. And while the execution of it all might look messy as hell, it also doesn’t mean they’re completely powerless in the situation. I do think they have a tiny bit more control now than most people think (which is unlike them being complete puppets, complicit only to what they are told to do or not do). Then again, they still have contractual obligations that we don’t know the full extent of or how long they last. So yeah, certain limitations remain intact.

We’ve just gotta have faith in the future, yeah? They’re making the best of it, even if it’s not always the best choice or the path we’d prefer to see. The stunts could get annoying as hell (and don’t even get me started on bbg still existing in 2025—please let it end), but again, all we can do right now is trust them with their plans and give them more credit.

And this is me channeling some positivity at 3:30 AM (almost). 😂 Just know I’m also making it all make sense and continuously trying to understand the business side of things so—yeah, current opinion now.

Do you think the series would be considered a bully to romance? I honestly don’t think so since I don’t seem to find any characteristics that would categorize the series as such.

it mostly depends on how we want to define bully romance, but my answer would be... eh, not really?

for one thing, the folk of the air isn't a romance series. it's a fantasy series that contains a romantic subplot, sure, but I think anyone who's marketed the series based on a particular romance trope is going to be disappointed by how much politicking takes place.

maybe you'd call that semantic, though, because regardless of genre, there is a central romance. but I wouldn't really call jurdan's arc a bully romance, either, unless we want to be overly simplistic and say that he bullies her at one point + they fall in love eventually. the appeal of a bully romance seems to be that the bullying & the romancing are intrinsically connected, whereas with jurdan, the bullying is just kind of the initial dynamic that gives way to other dynamics, including eventual romance (after some just desserts & groveling lol).

enemies to lovers is definitely accurate, but if you're a bully romance girlie I'm just not sure these books are going to have the dynamic you're looking for, you know?

I may be a primarily Sherlock Holmes, Ultrakill, and Good Omens poster but I'll be fucking DAMNED if I let tiktok make a Goncharov ripoff and not make Goncharov my personality for the next month. I'm gonna make Goncharov fanart. I'm gonna post about it just as much as my main fandoms. you bet your ass that I am now in hyper-protective over it. it's OUR fandom tiktok you cannot recreate PERFECTION

I want to grow an enormous amount of strawberries so badly it is causing me physical pain. I need a strawberry plant that I can endlessly clone into infinite strawberries right now as soon as possible

Watched the Z-A news immediately on waking up (I checked every time I woke during the night, I've been excited) and....

It doesn't look fun. The graphics look... fine, but it just looks... boring.

This trailer was extremely disappointing after waiting a whole year for news.

This looks like ScarVi instead of Arceus, and that's... not what a Legends game seems like it should be. Didn't even look like Alpha Pokémon were there (or did I blink and miss it?). Nothing compelling at all.

The trailers for Arceus were the most intriguing trailers Pokémon has ever released, and I was practically salivating over each one. They were unique and interesting and showcased how Legends would be different from other mainline Pokémon games.

This feels like a fairly normal mainline Pokémon game based on this trailer.

I'm so disappointed, y'all. I hope whatever news they release for it next is more promising.

Do you know why Louis is still working with SJ? I think he was also at Liam's funeral

Oh, love, I don’t think we have a definitive answer to this day. But here’s Allie’s response from a few years back—it might help you out a bit.

Just saw an ad for an "AI powered" fertility hormone tracker and I'm about to go full Butlerian jihad.

I can’t believe Hybe trolling the internet for fan fic is a real thing that happened

Stopped at a new Central Asian market en route home from the train and got loose-leaf tea and tvorog and mannaya krupa for easy-to-digest kasha and it was so lovely to conduct even a retail transaction in Russian, I miss speaking it every day of my life (all their shelf labels and window signs were in Russian, so I figured it was acceptable to address the cashier po-russki, especially since the proprietors were from Kazakhstan and Russian is still spoken more widely there than in some other post-Soviet Central Asian countries)
