You guys actually don’t understand how much I need them

[reactionimagesdaily]

Reaction images aside, how are you holding up?

Aww, thanks for asking. :P

To be honest, I'm probably doing better than most. I'm a healthy cishet white man who lives in the UK, so I don't have nearly as much to worry about as I know a lot of people do. (Also hey, I'm enjoying the new Dragon Age game, so that's been nice.) But I also know what kind of ramifications this election is bound to have, both inside the US and beyond.

(I mean, the world's biggest democracy is getting overtly more hostile and authoriarian in real time (y'know. again), and I know on this side of the pond we've got some real brain donors who'd love to see something similar happen here. I'm worried about what Trump could do once he's back in charge, and I'm worried about what might happen to my own country, with it's 'special relationship' to the US, as a result. And I'm not alone in that.

All this on a fuckin' Wednesday...)

Anyway, I had a longer thing written out here about the concept of orthopraxis (just while I was trying to get my thoughts in order, lmao) but the core of what I want to say is this:

I think we're about to see an uptick in people being shitty

I'm going to counter that by doing un-shitty things

What do I mean by un-shitty things? Well, I've been meaning to participate in Amnesty International's 'Write For Rights' campaign for months - I just fired off my first email today. I've already donated to causes supporting Gaza in the past, but now I'm also planning to write to my local MP about how annoyed I am that my country is still culpable in genocide. Make my voice heard, you know? I also want to keep making art that people enjoy, because I think that's important. And I'm going to buy another commission from an artist I like, because they could probably use something good in their life right now. And... to be honest, I'm not sure what else I'll do yet. When I figure it out, though, I'll try and actually do it.

Maybe for you, un-shitty things mean something smaller scale. Hugging your loved ones for longer, or giving that loose change you always carry around to the next homeless person you see. That's good too. Maybe it's something larger in scale, and that's awesome! But to anyone who's reading this, I'd definitely recommend doing something that not only feels good, but is also TANGIBLE. Not only does doing feel good, but it means that you're improving someone else's life, in however small a way. Which, y'know. Net positive, innit.

(Yes, I'm aware this is basically the 'when you see someone being so mean it inspires you to be kinder meme', lmao. No, I don't really care.)

You asked me how I'm holding up? Well, the first thing I'd like to do is respond to your question in kind: how are you holding up? In a general sense? In specific ways? Hopes, anxieties, plans?

And the next thing I'm going to do is tell you that I'm more than holding up.

I'm locking in.

I gave her a rug :) and a friend

[zerosocialskillz]

Amaterasu, what do you think of some of the other competitors in the tourney?

@kirbyoctournament

“If I talk about all of my thoughts, we’ll be here all day, so perhaps I should talk about a couple.”

“Rubi, my competitor… they’re cute, not going to lie. I’m surprised that she is friends with a dark matter.”

“Clark… I hope he gets out of the IKEA. Zero could really need another awoofy friend.”

Zero looks at Amaterasu, surprised. Amaterasu gave it a smug look.

“Rimuri… they seem nice. Them being the new leader of the dark matter of their world was surprising to me, but considering that each Zero’s biology seems to differ from world to world, why should I be surprised?”

“Noir…”

Amaterasu’s smile fell.

“It… pains me to learn of his fate. I know that’s not my Zero doing those terrible things, but… it still hurts to hear that it did those terrible things to him…”

“…and the worst part? I can see it doing that exact same thing. Before Kirby came and changed its ways.”

“…say, where did our ‘Noir’ went, anyway?”

Zero looked away.

“…Kirby killed him. I saw it with my own eye.”

Amaterasu looked down.

“You… you said that he only wanted a friend, yes?”

Zero nodded slowly.

“I think, if we’ve met Kirby in different circumstances, then he could have… we could have…”

Zero trailed off. It then looked upwards. A red tear fell from its eye.

“Is this what it feels when one loses their own child?”

“I… I didn’t even feel guilty…”

Amaterasu placed her hand on the fallen god’s fur, massaging it. Comforting it. Zero closed its eye, feeling content.

And yet…

“…sometimes, I wonder why you forgive me despite everything I did.”

Amaterasu looked at Zero.

“Because you’re not that person anymore. You don’t want to harm your children, even if they are defective or otherwise, right?”

Amaterasu then cleared her throat.

“Sorry, anon. It got off-topic at the end.”

Tsukuyomi pops out of nowhere.

“And how about Sir Uther?”

“Don’t vote for him. And don’t vote for Tsuku if he joins next year.”

“Hey! I was just trying to lighten up the mood!”

“I appreciate it, but I don’t think Amy forgives you for digging that up.”

Tsukuyomi pouted.

Snow Day does leave a lot to be desired as a whole game. But one of the things among others I kind of wish they had done differently is for Princess Kenny to I guess have an army of minions and a mission of her own rather than have been Stan Marshwalker's main minion I guess? Like Princess Kenny or Kenny as a whole could very well play as a boss on their own and proved so in Stick of Truth.

She has Eldritch connections come on, people and she already drove me mad when I faced her. I feel she should have had her own army of darkness as a callback to her Cthulian origins and a twist most would never see coming unlike the betrayal in Snow Day that most did see coming. Like have her minions dressed in rainbows and charging at you on their own unicorns or something? Some stronger minions charging at us in Mysterion colors??

Necromancers? Come on she's her own self-necromancer. I'd gladly love for the immortal Princess to show me what she's got. XD

[yeehaw-kermit]

i like to think sir pentious egg boiz are like the minions. like sir pentious found them one day and just kinda like kept them and they didnt oppose

[en-chi-la-da]

Ok ok real question!!! Would Hajime call Gundham "daddy" as a joke on fathers day? Like yeah he means it in a normal way but then gundy just feels something stir within him X'D

WHAT A QUESTION honestly, i think hajime would say it as a joke but also we know that gundham's dad wasn't around for him, so i don't think he would take it too lightly.... at first lmaoo

H: hey gundham happy "father's day" haha lol :)

G: you dare to insinuate that my Dark Devas of Destruction only view me as some sort of lowly "parental figure"? when i'm clearly their Wicked Master of the Dark Arts and the rightful future Overlord of this pathetic world?? how dare you! >:(

[princesswithsomeinterests]

Tbh I can’t even feel bad for them, cirie and Felicia knew cam was after them and still decided to keep him lol. They only have themselves to blame 🤷🏾‍♀️

[blackest-space]

You know it's bad when you hear a F/O's voice, and you literally fall to your knees, grasping at the nearest wall or piece of furniture for support. God, it's embarrassing. Be it official or fan-made, the moment the funny blorbo opens their mouth, you collapse like a Shakespearean romantic swooning over the dame of their heart. Awful. Horrid. Humiliating. And yet, I can't get enough.

somebody put the bread next to a really overripe banana and now all the bread tastes like banana and well basically this is bad news for me. personally

Big baby Rosie stands in front of the sofa like this so queen Belle can use her as a pillow when needed.

The ground is very wet so obviously it was necessary for her to drag the bed outside so she can still lie down there.
