us all referring to rick riordan as “uncle rick” is actually the most fitting thing ever. because you know how everyone has that uncle who they love so much but also just get so annoyed with sometimes? like personally, i adore both my uncles because they’re both so sweet and absolutely hilarious. they’re family! i always can’t wait to see them. but then the fam and i are with one of them, smiling and joking around, and he’ll do/say something that’s… horrendous. like, are you kidding me right now? and then the fam and i are all awkwardly looking around at each other thinking the same thing: did he just say that? or, jesus why the fuck would he do that? so then i’ll be annoyed with him for a bit. but also, he’ll be making everyone laugh and being the uncle i know and love 2 minutes later.

anyway, that’s how i feel reading rick’s books lately. it’s just constant “uncle rick i love and adore you so much and you’re so silly and amazing and— wait… what was that?” 😭😭

ivhae and hae size/height stuff

this is a reupload because in the original I had mislabeled some things. also because it was a lil dark but i'm not sure if i improved that at all lol.

anyway, as stated before, they are Big Woman Enjoyers & size disparity between male and female correlates with population size. haep'oi are the largest terrestrial hae, with the highest population and the largest females compared to males :)

imagine, if you will, a chapter of deltarune that takes place in ICE-E's P"E"ZZA. the dark fountain and such is there, burgerpants may or may not be the knight, whatever it doesn't matter. kris and susie and noelle were going to meet and get pizza, perhaps to explain dark worlds to her. this is a plan they had before the fountain appeared. kris and susie were, of course, late, because they were fucking around in hometown and susie was nervous and whatnot. they get there and noelle was early and they're late and the fountain is there. they go in. they go in and it's FNAF.

it's FNAF dark world. confirming their suspicions, they can hear noelle screaming!! there's no time to wait for ralsei, they cannot AFFORD to delay, at least in susie's mind. they have to save noelle as SOON AS POSSIBLE. they spawn in at parts & service, and since at this point they've gleaned that there is Animatronic Fuckery about, they come to the conclusion that their best course of action is to play dress up and sneak around. susie gets an ambiguous legally distinct purple dinosaur costume, and kris gets the legally distinct--but still recognizable--marionette. unfortunately, the animatronics aren't their only obstacle. the doors keep closing in front of them for some reason! weird!

eventually, once they start closing in on noelle's location, they hear a music box, and... kris climbs into a box, much to susie's dismay! "KRIS," she scream whispers, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" they do not answer, and exit the box after some time has passed.

they spend the next six hours or so roleplaying five nights at freddy's i mean five nights at ice-e's with noelle, and eventually kris gets in and jumpscares her and it's over. the point is, noelle is like REALLY good at fnaf. if it wasn't for kris and susie's unique high-jinks she probably would have never lost. she really did not need saving in this situation.

they proceed to the fountain and ralsei appears behind them, unseen prior to this point. he explains that two animatronics (the ones kris and susie relieved of their duty) had essentially kidnapped him, at which point he used his signature MERCY on them, they accepted him as one of their own, and they had a fun party where ralsei made them cake and sang songs and was generally a nice boy. he got out as soon as he could, he swears!! they go and seal the fountain and it's all in good fun. what a nice dark world adventure.

then three other lightners and burgerpants show up and they start making fountains all over the place and kris turns to the camera and says

"wow... this really was, five knights at ICE-E'S..."

idk why this bothered me enough to make a post but I feel like I keep seeing instances where people try to correct against Tim Drake fanon that's derived from canon and over-correct into not canon anymore. so here's some Tim Lore(TM) that people get mixed up about whether it's fanon or canon.

CANON: TIM SNUCK OUT AND TOOK PICS OF BATMAN

(Batman #440)

That's Tim's hand, that's Tim's narration. Yes, plenty of those photos are newspaper clippings but several aren't, and we literally just saw Tim taking pictures of Batman. Fanon likely expanded the extent to which he did it, but there's canon basis for it. And he had to have been doing it long enough to notice the change in Batman's patterns of violence.

CANON: TIM'S ADULT SUPERVISION WAS QUESTIONABLE

During his first arc, we find out he's been attending boarding school, but it's a vacation week and does not indicate being under any supervision. When questioned, he never knows where his parents are, nor does he have any clear idea of when he'll see them.

(Batman #441)

(I forgot what issue this is from sorry)

(Detective Comics #618)

FANON: TIM GREW UP NEXT DOOR TO WAYNE MANOR

This is really more a misunderstanding than anything else, but the Drakes didn't purchase and move into Drake Manor (which IS next door to Wayne Manor) until after he became Robin. It was Alfred's idea. So like... yes, he lived next door to Bruce but not when he was little.

But also, please keep writing bb!Tim lives next door to the Waynes fics PLEASE I love them.

(Batman #480) (ALSO READ THIS ISSUE IT IS SO GOOD THERE IS SUCH DELICIOUS ANGST ABOUT TIM'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FATHER)

????: I DON'T THINK MRS MAC WAS EVER TIM'S NANNY/KNEW HIM BEFORE HE WAS ROBIN BUT I CAN'T TECHNICALLY PROVE IT

I think this is the same kind of fanon as "Tim grew up as the Waynes' neighbor" where something that did canonically happen was projected into his childhood. Mrs. McIlvaine's first appearance was in Robin III #3. She just kind of shows up to be the housekeeper when they move into Drake Manor. I don't get the vibe that they know each other very well, and it makes sense to have hired someone new because they moved into a new property.

FYI: TIM BEING ROBIN MIGHT'VE GIVEN JACK DRAKE A COUPLE EXTRA YEARS OF LIFE ACTUALLY

Jack and Janet were kidnapped by the Obeah Man. Batman was involved in another case at the time and while I can't say for certain he wouldn't have gotten involved in their case at all, I'd say the fact that it was Tim's parents changed his priorities. They definitely would've both died if not for Batman's interference. As it was, the timing was pretty close, so if he hadn't gotten involved soon enough, they would've most likely died.

full disclaimer, I never played pokemon so I had to look up the clothes: From what I got there is a lot of variations from frills to types of hats and so on, but short shorts/short skirts, something in the head, and ocasional impratical armbands or belts is the norm.

I do think Aoi would dress like that out of her own free will because Aoi have two main styles, the baggy one and the 'summery' ones that fit the pokemon trainer aesthetic.

She loves short shorts. Even in the comfort of her home where there is no pressure to look a certain way, her pjs have short shorts. And she owns a cap that she wore at the night visit to the Minamotos, taking away their 'use' of blocking the sun. The cap is purely for aesthetic.

And these are her clothes in the canon setting.

Aoi grew up in a world where she was mostly protected and not active, looking at 'fictional' spooky stories for comfort. In a different world, where she grow up aware from the start that magic and monsters are real, she would likely dress more fantasy like.

Unfortunetely we don't know what new timeline Aoi dress like (she feels like more of an adventurer than the old timeline Aoi) but when Aidairo put Aoi AUs, they either give her long dresses, or the most impratical wardrope possible.

The long dresses are usually for spooky aus where she isn't fully human or have no focus (monster nursery/ghost hotel) but the one 'modern fantasy au where aoi is a fighter' we have is the high school of magic au and that is one hell of an impratical outfit!

Just compare her witch design to sakura's:

So I would say that she would be inspired by other trainers (specially if Nene is also her friend/trainer in this au) and wear a cutesy and impratical outfit.

And now the writers don’t know what words mean. “Gossip as I might, I always tell the truth.”

Beloved, gossip is defined as casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. Not confirmed as true. NOT CONFIRMED AS TRUE!

Studying both SK and NK Korean; a guide by someone who has been doing it for nearly 8 years

Somehow I was blessed with the kind of autism where I want to learn everything about the Korean peninsula, and thus, I have dedicated almost 8 years to studying the topic. If someone wants to know how to achieve this, keep reading! (Keep in mind that this is just my study route, you can always make your own!)

Studying South Korean intensely.

People might be wondering how you can learn the standard languages of both countries at the same time, and in my opinion, as there are more internet resources for the SK variant, go ahead and start learning that first. Further on, you can start learning the other variant on top of that! (This doesn't mean that there are NO NK resources. There used to be a lot before NK stopped promoting unification, they shut down a lot of the freely accessible sites)

Adding on top of the SK vocab and grammar

When you have gotten used to the SK language, learning the NK forms is quite easy! I like to make word lists like this with both of the variants shown.

Keep up with medias from both countries

People are shocked that I read NK media. I feel like people should be reading media from people and states which they do not completely agree with! Breaking the echo chamber will do good to your critical thinking and media literacy skills! And if you want to learn the language, what other route do you take? One of the biggest sites which publish news from NK is NK News. They have a wide selection of different news, tools, and data about news in the country. I have gathered many other sites as well, so if anyone needs it, I can make a post.

hiii im new what does buck was in the room mean

omg anon hi!!! first of all i want to say welcome!!! i also do want to say sorry you weren’t here during the “buck is in the room” era because those were some crazy ass times (in the best possible way).

so i have consulted the experts (aka the teeny tiny friends) because i am SO bad at remembering the exact sequence of events.

so basically during season 5b we knew eddie was going to have a huge breakdown. we knew it was coming. and the week before 5x13 we got confirmation of it in the form of seeing promos of eddie in his destroyed room with a bat in his hands and his knuckles splintered. and this made us go nuts!!! but you know what made everyone even MORE insane? the fact that in that first promo you could see the back of a head in the corner of the shot. and that is how “BUCK IS IN THE ROOM” was born. people were analyzing the back of that head for hours, comparing the shape of the ear we could see with oliver’s ears. basically we all arrived at the same conclusion: it really was buck!!!! buck was in the room with eddie as eddie sobbed inconsolably!!! and then another promo dropped where you could clearly see it was buck because you could see all of his back and we were like “OMFG IT REALLY IS HIM. BUCK IS IN THE MOTHERFUCKING ROOM!!!!” because before we had known but now we KNEW.

that era is really one of my favorite times in the 911 fandom, no doubt about it. it was exhilarating and full of potential and the meta was so incredibly nuanced and good and it really felt like we all just were so connected to the characters and their journey and even each other.
