*goes up to a group of four friends* okay but which of each of you is teamwork, network, community and belonging?

Tucker: "W-what?! No! I don't have a crush on Danny!"

Cleo: "Honey, denial isn't just a river named after my family."

This ask: Silly and Goofy

What I decided to make of it:

Relationship Angst

illario as the grandchild that is most like caterina is something i'm loving to chew on. the grandson that took her lessons to heart the most. kill anyone who sees your face and knows your name, "we are not revolutionaries", the first out of the two to prioritise the contract. power at any cost, and the only one to lean into the unnecessary abuse that their grandmother told them was tradition. why is anyone surprised he allied with the venatori? and then there's illario's considerable skill in infiltration and manipulating any mark, he has always had the charisma that lucanis lacked. illario isn't attached, he has/can/will use someone and immediately drop them; "that does free me from promises i don't intend to keep". he can lie about how much he cares so well that he fools a magister into believing he loves her. he kills zara without hesitation to cover his own tracks, meanwhile lucanis blindly promises a young girl in the middle of a siege that he will help her find her father. even the lessons about family stick with him, and in this entire messy power struggle, he never actually orders anyone to directly kill caterina or lucanis, not until he's backed into a corner.

and even after all that. despite even lucanis believing illario should be first talon, lucanis is still the better killer. illario is not strong enough to be the brutal assassin caterina needs him to be. so when lucanis seems to fill the role his mother left, grief and love for her dead heir apparent remains, and any of the other qualities caterina needs in her next talon doesn't matter. whatever his mother was, lucanis has to be. what illario does doesn't matter, because he will always be second best to caterina's memory of her favored daughter.

Heartbreaking: “problematic” danmei everyone told you to avoid is actually pretty decent and has mildly interesting things to say about poverty and class

the initial plan for fuyuhiko following chapter 2 was that every time someone brought up peko or something we’d get a close up on fuyuhiko making this kind of face while john denver’s ‘annies song’ plays under a rain sound effect. this is harder with a purely visual medium but u can imagine

guideswap 2: unwanted advice

[anghraine]

My best friend and I moved in together with his closest friend from his MA program, and while I had met her before (the friend; my bff is a man), we hadn't spent much time together because I've never lived away from the West Coast (and only two years out of the PNW) and she's never lived outside of North Carolina and only briefly visited the PNW once, when she went to Portland last year.

It's been a delight to show her around the PNW and realize we need to explain things that are just sort of omnipresent in our lives. The bff and I were casually griping with each other about having to run an errand to Trader Joe's at an inconvenient hour, and were telling her, "it's okay, you can stay in the car and avoid the people if you want" and she was like "NO I MUST SEE IT, I'VE ONLY HEARD OF THEM" and nearly ascended to another plane when we showed her around the store.

The bff and I grew up in the same town in NW Washington (him for his first 18 years, me from 9 to 19) and he lived in Bellingham and Seattle for years before he went to NC for grad school (I went to the SF Bay Area for mine, a very different experience). Both of them are hardcore coffee aficionados, but he struggled with the different Coffee Ways of the South, so for the true PNW experience they want to tour various indie coffeeshops next.

Also, she adores Kaidan in Mass Effect and we were like, oh, is your passport up to date? We could take a trip sometime and show you your boyfriend's beloved English Bay. It's very beautiful :)

her: O_O

me: Actually, it's worth going to Vancouver BC for its own sake as well, it's truly spectacular. We used to go all the time as kids.

bff: And Victoria!

her: O_O

mr sorrelpaws what's ur thoughts on the new rick and jerry centaur in the latest episode

my most normie opinion ever is that i thought it was kind of funny. the design is so weird in like a humorous way, and i think their deadpan delivery was silly ("do you not hear the symphony of atoms dying in space?"). i mean its definitely a wackier approach but i didnt hate it

[hypogryffin]

how do u draw so much so fast

well,

[fefairys]

saw a post where someone implied that someone else had at some point said “mcr fans heads would explode if they listened to nine inch nails” and that made me finally listen to nine inch nails cuz i was like yo for real? i want my head to explode! and i must say my head remained very unexploded. kind of disappointed like i was excited! like oh u think NIN is so intense that my poor baby mcr brain could hardly handle it? hell yeah let’s go! and then it’s like. some shit bill and ted would listen to (not an insult) idk maybe i didn’t listen to any of the right songs. can someone tell me which nin songs will make my mcr fan head explode?

btw. if you had to design some sort of challenge similar to the ones in jet lag the game for any of the places in this board-like version of iberia (places are subject to change so it's all orientative, you could suggest a place in specific and i could work it out if it isn't too complicated i think),, which ideas come up???

Being queer and neurodivergent is great and all until you're with relatives and you watch other people and feel like an outcast in your own family

[wellthatswhatithought]

idk I just think the antizionist/pro-palestine mvmt would have much more success if some of you stopped saying such headass shit all the time

[sonknuxadow]

why are people talking about "maria's new voice actor" as if we actually know who that is. they havent even confirmed if shes gonna be in the game or not let alone who would voice her if she did
