Are those fangs real? (Starter for Kiiriiwrites)

@kiiriiwrites

"Wowza, those are some wicked looking fangs!"

It's a bit early for Halloween, but Mary Ann is still suitably excited at the sight. It does not at any point cross her mind that she might be talking to an actual vampire. She just sees a pretty lady with sharp teeth, like a dream come true. Might as well suck up to her, pun fully intended.

"Honestly, can't tell if this is a costume or just your normal look, either way, I love it."

Okay, this is it! Sheet music for my Hyrule inspired song, "The Shy Fairy"! I made this for a theory assignment, and might end up making songs for the other boys, if anyone is interested in that. Hope you enjoy!

Hello! I was looking at your translation of Chesire Game and a sentence made me curious:

"Whatever the case may be, everyone and their mother

Are all charmed by you.

"What a bore this world filled with bluffs is."

I was looking for that part and I didn't really understand what he was referring to- in the original translation (of video) it says something totally different, what would it be?

The translation of this section in the official video is:

"Even after I realize how naive you are/I am allured by you even more/A world full of bluffs bores me to death"

To be perfectly honest, I don't really know how they arrived at the first line. There is no reading of it (either over literal or otherwise) that can be interpreted as "Even after I realize how naive you are". To rephrase my translation, from what I gather it's just a clever, idiomatic way to say: "Anyway, absolutely everyone/Is charmed by you", one which makes use of the kanji for "rabbit", "horn/angle/etc", "cat", and "bamboo ladle" (I wouldn't read too much into that though, imo).

As for the last line, I just phrased it differently, but they both mean the same thing (note that "bluffs" in this case could be more directly translated to "lies", but they're playing poker so it seemed more appropriate to use terminology referencing that).

s. @debtbound , liked for a starter .

as unforgiving and violent this life can be , it is important to remember to take in the tiny pockets of peace ( in any way that you can . ) CHAOS THRIVES HERE , and where there is the fixer , chaos is soon to follow . it's her hallmark welcoming card after all ... every now and then however , there are moments such as this , where the sun shines and the serenity creeps in . the emptiness that lives in her , beyond the cage which protects her bleeding heart , feels full for the first time in a while . mia can only guess for how long this will last , because sooner or later she'll take on another case , and that case will drain her empty once more .

IT'S NEVER ENOUGH ! you give and you give - you give everything you have . you loose yourself in the job , and you become what your creator made you . A MACHINE . you run on steel parts and energy , and you're made of sharp objects and kerosine . it is how they made you , so you know nothing else ...

for now mia is present here - she knows what time of day it is and where she is too . the public doesn't much care for strangers , so she mostly goes uninterrupted . which comes in her favor when she's drawing the people around her . honing in on facial features such as eyes , hands , FACIAL STRUCTURES ... then out of the corner of her eye she notices someone sit down , and at first glance , the shape and features are familiar . it took her one glance to the side to confirm the identity . it was then that she returns to her drawing , focusing on someone across from her . " people are so funny , " she asks with no greeting ( as if they needed one ... it was common courtesy among their kind , a sort of a silent nod of their head in a way . ) " there were three times today that people were mildly inconvenienced and suddenly i found myself in a soap opera . "

"How did Shuro think he could marry Falin when he hated her brother?" you have to understand. Toshiro is from a whole different country. In his head he and Falin would move back to the Eastern Archipelago and they'd see Laios twice a year tops. You can pretend to get along with in-laws you don't like for a few days a year, people do that all the time.

The actual flaw in his plan– which shows he doesn't really understand either of the Touden siblings– is the fact that if the plot hadn't happened and Falin had for some reason said yes to his proposal, Laios would have packed his bags and moved away with them instantly.

another campaign brought to my attention by a palestinian i speak personally with, and i trust its legitamcy. Hamdy has suffered great loss since the start of this genocide, his mother, aunt, siblings, cousins, neices and nephews, and 5 month old sister were martyred. despite making the campaign months ago, Hamdy has only received FIVE donations so far, and hasn't gotten any donations in months.

please share and donate to his campaign, no amount is too little!

I may be pointing out something completely obvious, but Round 7 takes place immediately after Round 6?

Like immediately after.

Hyuna is still there, bleeding. Like it's so unlikely that Mizi and Hyuna have just been roaming for days. Like after round 6, it's been maybe a few hours at most?

My thoughts are a mess rn but damn that sucks for Till if that's true (not that it doesn't suck if it's not).

Ivan dies in front of him, then he has a change of outfit and immediately has to move onto the next Round. No wonder he looks so fatigued, like he's about to pass out at any moment.

Did he even get to eat or drink anything? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, but still.

was it casual when i sat in your lap in public? was it casual when i said "recently my heart is crying because you're leaving"? was it casual when we decided how your last name would fit with mine? ("yuki tsunoda-gasly" / "no tsunoda, only gasly" / "yuki gasly?") was it casual when we sang adele's "someone like you" together at your going away party? was it casual when i knew it was you just by touching your ass? was it casual when i knew it was you by smell alone? was it casual when "will you miss me?" / "for 2-3 minutes maybe" / "i'll take that. even if it's just 2-3 minutes, i'll take that"? was it casual when that bus was completely empty and we still sat right next to each other, all the way in the back? was it casual when i picked you up multiple times so you could dunk a basketball? was it casual when i begged to come over to your house multiple time and then you finally let me and we cooked fried rice together? was it casual when we played christmas twister together and i said "your big eggplant is touching my ass"? was it casual when we were pressed up against each other on a scooter going two miles per hour? was it casual when-

ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU

I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.

like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --

[inkskinned]

there are a lot of posts out there that are positive and healthy coping mechanisms for handling the holidays. this is not one of them :)

i think there's like. going to be times in your life you will be stuck in a social situation that you cannot escape from gracefully. i do not know why the internet doesn't believe these times exist. it's not always just that your physical safety is at risk - sometimes it's legit like "i just don't currently have the energy or time to put in the effort of responding to this." sometimes it's a coworker you hate so much. sometimes it's just like, fine, you know? like you know you can handle your aunt when she's cheerily horrible, but if you actually set a boundary around her, it's going to be weeks of fallout with your father.

i don't know why people think the answer is always just "cut them out!" or "don't let them get away with that!" because ... the real world is tricky and complicated. i think kind of a lot of us have an internal "radiation poisoning" meter for certain people. like - i'm talking about the ones who are absolutely giving you gradual ick damage. like, you can handle them, but you'll be exhausted.

and yes. you absolutely should listen to your therapist and the good posts about handling others and set good boundaries and take care of yourself. prioritize peace.

HOWEVER :) ...... since im often in a situation with a Gradual Sense of Ick person i cannot just "cut out" of my life (without losing someone else precious to me) - i have sort of developed the most. maladaptive form of mischief possible. because like, if i'm going to have to listen to this shit again, i like to have a little bit of private fun with it.

now! again, i am physically safe, just mentally drained by this man. you should only do this with people you are not in danger with. which leads me to my suggestions for when your Unfortunate Acquaintance shows up and says oh everyone pay attention to me.

my favorite word is "maybe!" said as brightly and happily as possible. whenever the Horrible Person starts in on a topic you do not want to go further with, particularly if they make a claim that you know to be inaccurate, do not respond to it. you and i have both tried to actually argue with this person, and it hasn't gone well, because this person just wants the drama of an argument. however, "maybe!" gives them literally nothing to go on. it is incredibly disarming. they are used to people having some response. they know they can't prove what they're saying, and maybe! treats them like the child they are. it dismisses them in the politest way possible.

i like to say maybe! and then, in their stunned silence, immediately change the subject. this is because i have adhd and i will have something unrelated to talk about, but if you can't think of topics fast enough, i recommend just pointing to something and saying, "isn't that lovely?" because fuck you let's bring in some positivity.

by the way. that second trick - of pointing to something and stating an opinion about it? - that just works on its own, like, 70% of the time. i picked it up from teaching preschoolers. it's an intentional "redirect". it stops children crying and it also stops grown adults from finishing their explanation on why women belong in kitchens. dual wielding!

keep it silly for yourself. i absolutely do not care if people think i'm fucking stupid (it's more fun if they do) and as a result i will purposefully misunderstand things just to see how long it takes them to realize i've completely removed them from the subject at hand. when they say "women aren't funny" i get to be like. "which women." "all women." "all women in america?" "no in the world." "like the mole people? the people in the world?" "what? no. like, alive." "oh are we not counting the mole people?" "what the fuck are you talking about." "you don't believe in the mole people?"

similarly, i play a personal game called "one up me." my Evil Acquaintance literally knows this game exists (my family & friends caught onto it and now also play it) and it always fucking gets him. i don't know why. you have to be willing to be a little free-spirited on this one, though. the trick is that when they make one of those horrible little bigoted or annoying comments they are always making, you need to go one unit weirder. not more intense, mind you - just more weird. "you don't look good in that dress." "yeah, actually, my other dress was covered in squid ink due to a mishap at the soup store." "you shouldn't wear such revealing clothes." "wait, what? oh shit. sorry, your son tears off strips when no one is looking and eats them. i swear it was longer before we left the building."

the point of "one up me" is to completely upend this person's narrative. we both know this person likes setting up situations where you cannot "win" and then they really like telling other people how badly you handled it. in a usual situation, if you respond "please don't say something that rude", you're a bitch. but if you let it happen, you're letting yourself be debased. they are not usually expecting door number three: unflappably odd. because what are they going to say when they're telling everyone how badly you behaved? "she said my son eats her dresses" ".... okay?"

if you can, form an allyship with someone whomst you can tagteam with. where they can pick up on your weird "soup store" story and run with it.

the following phrase is amazing and can be deployed for any situation: "oh, be nice :) it's the holidays!" i do not know why this works as often as it does. i'll say it for the most random shit. i think this is bc most of the time these people know they're being impolite, they just like to fight.

godbless. when in doubt, remember that you could always start stealing their pens.

the whole point of this is - if you can't escape. maybe see how long you can just be. like. a horrible little menace.

"I’ll calm down when you explain yourself!“ (from Naoya!)

"I dunno what to tell you beyond what you saw! It looks like certain people can enter televisions to another world and in this world I got my Persona! I mean I have no clue about what this world is other than dangerous if you don't have a Persona and that someone is using it to commit murder." Kamille shot an annoyed glare as he pulled his naginata out of a defeated Shadow as it dispersed into darkness. He had planned to spend some time honing his skills in the Shadow World when the other had suddenly made his presence known.
