ok someone please correct me if i'm wrong but am i weird for thinking those 'audiobooks don't count as reading' posts are ableist as fuck????
#ramble#my first thought was like: how is this even a debate what about blind people. not every book comes in braille but MOST have an audiobook#or dyslexic people#you still enjoyed the book!! you still absorbed it!!! you got EXACTLY the same thing as people who read the words!!!#how does it not count????#i guess you miss out on the 'learning new vocab' you get through seeing the words but also#i don't really do audiobooks but i do a lot of podcasts esp fiction podcasts#and i have ABSOLUTELY picked up new stuff from there that helps with my writing#someone please explain how this is even an argument of COURSE it counts????#idk in my opinion finishing a book means 'i put the words in my brain and i thought about them and i enjoyed a story'#not 'i held a stack of paper in my hands for a bit'#i'm v lucky that i do have time to sit and read. and whenever i commute anywhere it's public transport so i CAN bring a book with me#but if i didn't have the free time or had to drive for hours everywhere i would be STOKED to still get to enjoy books#it's been REALLY bothering me lmao idk why i feel so strongly#for some reason it's giving the same energy as like. being told you can't take a comic or manga from the library bc it's not a 'real' book#of course it's a real book it's a story somebody wrote down#i can see this spiralling into 'if you have a kindle you aren't reading'. you have to sniff the paper. feel the papercuts

Something about how Fire & Ice give up on going after Pearl directly, and instead both arrow in on dissing Marina-
Something about, Pearl having no shame at all, outright telling Frye right off that Off the Hook is here to “take control” and then literally talking over Frye’s turn. Frye’s snarking on how Pearl isn’t the boss here and no one’s cheering for her, ignored. How she goes after both Frye and Shiver asking where Frye’s big friend is to help her pass this test, moving right on to saying they’re both just goons making a mess anyway, little fish who should stay in they're bowl, but
that seems to give Frye the idea of hitting back with the “who’s backing you? Imaginary friends?” line… like Marina doesn’t even count as a music partner- or a friend?
Pearl literally yaps about Marina being divine, one of a kind, voice so fine, big mind- raps the lines off her cuff and the heart that's proudly pinned there
And Frye and Shiver go TARGET DETECTED. They lock onto Marina.
Shiver doesn’t bother trying to needle Marina about Pearl, the way their partners were each doing- if Pearl has no shame then at least she DOES still have a weakness, a soft spot, a thing she openly cares about- something they can try riling her up over
(problem: Pearl actually has all the confidence in Marina as a musician, partner, and performer. She's WATCHED Marina be all those things for YEARS now)
In the end Frye and Shiver just rile up the gay feels. Because Marina’s been living with a rapper who LOVES hyping her up even when they’re not on stage- Pearl who said she’d cut a fish for Marina. And if you don’t come to Inkopolis with a lot of self confidence, well then getting some from your girlfriend is fine too
But it’s cute that Pearl’s still so obvious about being Marina's no. 1 fan that Fire & Ice thought they could use it against her XD
#splatoon 3#pearl houzuki#marina ida#pearlina#.#suffer no fools#suffer from the og gays instead#forever i love that Off the Hook just don't have drama with each other#LOTS of things they don't agree on#plenty of teasing#some not fun fights over their music#(when it comes to our art we have to be true to ourselves! NO compromises!) <- marina that's so sweet u guys only fight when you#AGREE it's IMPORTANT and that you both SHOULD#but otherwise?#they just are best buddies#......bedfellows even....#.....canon sharers of the same bed....#like their careers are a thing they do bc they like doing it with each other#(ahaha whoops the phrasing there uhh)#they like spending TIME together#OUTSIDE of music and band stuff#i love that for them#they're not family or childhood neighbors#they just picked each other up one day like 'oh hey cool this is what i've been missing'#:)#i love them

What would you choose? :0c
(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)
#I would get orange juice. black coffee. AND iced coffee ($3) because I love the variety of having multiple drinks#then sausage and scrambled eggs ($8). Then sauteed mushrooms ($3)....AND... hrm.. then spending the remaining $4 would be hard#I wish I could get waffles (as they are my favorite and are superior in every way compared to pancakes. donuts. etc.) but I'm not willing#to give up the other savory things just to get them. so... then maybe I could get a biscuit or english muffin? and just put jam or#honey butter or something on it so it can be my replacement 'sweet and bready' thing instead of something from the $5 row??#OR I could also just assume that having the orange juice plus iced coffee would provide enough of a 'sweet element' to the meal#(since I largely prefer savory foods. I only like a tiny bit of sweet added for variety) and thus forego any sort of#'bready' thing entirely and just get the bowl of beans/onion/tomato (I'd leave the avocado since I don't like the#texture of them really lol). THEN I'd have $1 left to get the milk or the black tea... increasing my total of random drinks..#which is always the goal of course.. as a chronic ''person who is sipping at 5 different drinks at their desk simultaneously always'' perso#OR... I could just do.. waffle. scrambled eggs. sausage. mushrooms. and black coffee and orange juice.. which is... okay variety#augh... so difficult.. As my Ideal Breakfast is like a buffet type thing or something where you have like 25 different things to choose fro#and can get a little tiny bit of everything. My eating style is very much like.. I'd rather pick at a small amount of a ton of#different things than just have a very large amount of only one or two things. Thats why I LOVE sample platter type stuff.#So it's like... augh... the ideal option would be a tiny portion of EVERYTHING actually lol...#Difficult to choose...#ANYWAY.. Also no idea why I added croissant instead of bagel. I only thought about that afterwards. I do actually like bagels.#I've only ever even had a croissant like 2 times in my entire life. Yet I've had many bagels. For some reason it stuck out in my mind more#when I was considering 'essential breakfast foods' somehow... how could I forget them... bagels my beloved...#Blame it on the hot weather... 'What in the blazes? The sun hath obliterated the concept of bagels from my miind!'#(< meant to be said in a silly overdramatic elderly wizard accent or something)#Also I don't think ''bowl of beans. onion. avocado. and tomatos.'' is necessarily a breakfast classic or something gbhjjh#but I was just trying to think of a versatile vegetable-ish side that could be full of common breakfast additions#so people could do stuff like ''oh I get the toast option and then the bowl of stuff and I put the avocado on the toast'' etc.#Like a mix and match. You could mix ingredients from different parts. You could put scrambled eggs and bacon and onion#on the bread or soemthing. etc. I just feel like something is always missing if a Full Breakfast Spread#doesnt have some sort of onions or beans or mushrooms or asparagus or spinach like... some sort of thing that isn't just eggs and meat and#bread.. you know? lol..#But then again.. I am the Sampling Plate Style Variety Lover and Tiny Portion Of Food Picker so maybe thats just a me thing.

i think someone needs to put rtd in a cupboard for a bit and let someone else have a turn
#plant rant#doctor who#that episode wasn’t. well it wasn’t awful. it was what it was wasn’t it#but come on man don’t join moffat in the ‘haha look i know about technology’ plots#they’re so boring#also why was the ai thing so massively underused there. i thought the thing with the words was going to be#that the (ai) robots could only pick up on the broad sense of a sentence not every word. you know. like ai generators.#i also HATE the trend in recent episodes for a ‘twist’ and i don’t mean (spoilers) your man being the ai thing#i mean the fact that he was a bastard was the reason the whole thing started and it wasn’t mentioned at all until AFTER the reveal#that’s so silly. come on#and. i hate to say it. i’m still not completely on board with 15’s characterisation. idk if it’s gatwa or the writers or the directors or..#but i just feel like there’s something a bit missing. like you completely forget he’s meant to be 2500 years old or whatever the numbers are#mmm. well the whole thing is probably about to get cancelled anyway#oh well. maybe in ten years or so enough time will have passed for them to actually let new writers have a turn#oh ALSO the new disney look is. not for me. i miss when it was a bit shabby#and i am still a hater of the new tardis. sorry. its too empty. he lives in there where’s all his stuff!!!!!!

woohoo ! beep bop beep bop ! the anon who requested the latest hurt/comfort here :3 think i will write here more often >< only if you don’t mind ofc ! ! i’ll keep my name as anon bunny now
but omgomgomg can you imagine childe having an even bigger form? like, maybe he has this super duper secret thing just in case for a few very specific battles, where he would need the advantage of being physically,, well,, bigger. taller and stronger. dont mind the sleepy anon bunny, just thinking of how Foul Legacy would look ( in that form ) next to a vertically challenged reader
hehe ~ ><
ahhh hello hello!! i would love to see you pop into my inbox more often, anon bunny, and i hope you liked the fic i wrote!!! :D
consider this: dragon-ish Foul Legacy, with armor-like scales and a form big enough to easily pick you up by the back of your shirt with his mouth. he rarely uses it, the amount of energy it takes for him to maintain such a form usually putting him to sleep for several days afterwards, but you manage to catch him transformed by chance, and oh, you're DELIGHTED! he's even taller than usual, crossing his legs around you as you sit on the ground, toying with your hair with very deep, rumbling purrs. you can only hold one of his claws with your hand, and Legacy delicately prods your shoulder with a knuckle so he doesn't accidentally scratch you, chittering at your surprised laugh. his armor is also even stronger like this, so you can bite and gnaw his wrist and hand to your heart's content
Legacy loves curling around you in this form, easily able to both hold and rest his head on your lap, and now you can give him even better scritches behind his horns!! his rumbles fill the air, almost making you physically shake as he tucks you closer. to him, this is the best way to fall asleep, as he always does after using this form, snuggled up against you with your hands raking through his soft ginger hair. you watch as delicate crackles of violet lightning wrap around him, leaving Foul Legacy back in his normal state and deeply asleep, gently pulling a blanket over his shoulders. you'll stay nestled up beside him for as long as you can- he'll be out for a few days- listening to his soft breaths and grumbles in his slumber before he regains the energy to wake up again
#genshin impact#childe#tartaglia#foul legacy#foul legacy childe#genshin tartagalia#genshin childe#genshin tartaglia#this is so cute just think about him casually picking you up and walking away#i mean he already does that normally but now he can do it so much easier#they really missed out by not giving foul legacy a tail#he could wrap it around your hand or waist but nooo#short scenario#other's stuff#good evening#chit chat#anon bunny

made a chart of all the mental roommates i would find most helpful/unhelpful/endearing/annoying to live with
(characters who give magic powers automatically get deemed helpful especially if they offer protection against other harmful magic like the emperor against the absolute or polaris against the hiss. eg the emperor will still help you if you argue with him so i still list him as very helpful, meanwhile greed has the ultimate shield but he demands you give your body over to him entirely to use it, so it kinda cancels out)
#stuff#i did not find elizabeth's mental booker voice to be helpful i found it kind of depressing but it looped back around to being endearing#bc the point is that it's her subconscious comforting her and i do miss my own dad so#venom greed and sothis would all be annoying to live with but i think their charm would make up for it#i debated for so long about johnny but i ranked him assuming you become friends. he's still not helpful at all tho lol#handsome jack was so annoying and unhelpful he broke my scale#and do i even need to fucking talk about solas#the only one i would pick every time no matter the downsides is atem because he was my first blorbo. i gotta rep my king of games

Making a post abt this so I don't forget later on when I wake up in the morning but, for the Beach Bros AU, I can totally see Bruce going to bed after reading a bedtime story to all 13 of his children and just as he's about to drift off John Dory appears at his bedroom door and says "hey, what about me??? :[" Like the pathetic manchild he is.

(image unrelated. The post just felt empty without the low quality JD)
#whether he wants a story to be read to him or HE wants to read a story to BRUCE bc he misses doin that for his lil bros is up to u to decide#you can pick the ending#ooough but what stories would they tell each other tho is the question...#theyd definitely have a lot to talk about considering the huuuuge time gap from when they went their separate ways to the present#for JD its all the cool stuff he found on the Neverglade trail. The many beasts hes fought to survive. How he met Rhonda... etc etc#hes got a LOT to talk about despite living in the exact same spot for years... Nature nerd lmao#For Bruce its ofc stories of how he met Brandi. What prompted him to open the restaurant....#...How he settled into Vacay Island. What ge did before Brandi. and even how he got to Vacay Island in the tirst place#<- tho the last one is a biiiit of a sensitive topic for Bruce so that doesnt cpme up until later on#I hope u guys know I have some stuff planned for Bruce in this au. you arent ready for it im warning yall now#beach bros au#trolls john dory#trolls Bruce#nuls nonsense#sorry for lore dumping abt my au in the tags except im not ill do it again

shout out to rain world the watcher for making me rage on a level that i haven't raged at since my very first playthrough of the original game
i swear i haven't been this frustrated over a jump since my very first time trying to get through the nightmare that is sky islands
this truly is videocult's vision

but seriously whose idea was this room
#rw watcher spoilers#<- in case you missed my post from a couple days ago this is what i'm tagging spoilers as#but yeah i am enjoying it though. at least now i am. i honestly wasn't all that impressed with the first like little while of it#maybe cause i am honestly a little fatigued with the whole Turning Mods Into Official Content thing now (no disrespect to modders of course#but that's a conversation for another day. it's really picked up since then and i'm liking the new stuff a lot#basil speaks#game tag

”neon genesis evangelion is confusing” is actually a statistical error. most people have basic media literacy and understand what the show literally fucking spells out to you. no media literacy georg, who cannot understand basic storytelling tools, is an outlier adm should not have been counted.
#like. I’m baffled people think neon genesis Evangelion is confusing. surreal? absolutely. but not confusing#it’s like. ??? guys it literally tells you the meaning and it also goes hey all that other lore stuff is cool but don’t het too caught up i#trying to understand that shit to the point you miss the obvious#it’s about love and choosing to love yourself and wanting to live#on that note it’s like. not got a sad ending??? like??? it’s definitely bittersweet but the kids r better off than they were before by far#shinji wants to live and has. sort of learnt boundaries. like he still attacked asuka but he did choose the boundary option.#asuka has learnt she’s loved! she’s always been loved! and she’s able to show affection freely for the first time.#rei and kaworu are chilling being gods and also the same being#and the nonce gets fucking bit in two#(surprising how many ppl don’t pick up on That with rei and gendo either like. after end of eva? with a literal sa scene?)

*banging my fists on the table* I'm! So! Tired!
#Was just gonna pick up some stuff from old place and bring to new place and then#It turned into Decluttering With Mom#By God was it effective#But I did NOT anticipate or foresee spending this much mental energy this evening#Rip to like 70% of my puzzle collection#Realistically I won't miss you but I'll miss being able to show off how many I have#Molly mumbles

stop saying people's art are better than yours !!! if you wanna make a comment about it just tell them you want to incorporate some aspects of their style into your own or smth like that bc talking shit about your art at someone is weird !! especially if you point out that theyre younger than you !!! you gotta know your art isnt terrible you just havent practiced certain techniques you want to see in your own work !!!!!! be proud of the progress youve made even if its the first step of a fetus jfc !!!! have respect for your own art no matter how bad it might look to you
#solar-talks#RIPS OGF MY SHIRT TO REVEAL ANOTHER ONE UNDERNEATH THAT SAYS I 💕 STARING AT OTHER PEOPLES OLD ART#and my own#idk i just like seeing how much or how little an art style changes over time#seeing the little tricks they pick up or how their hand gets used to drawing smth in a certain way#do the opposite for art you hate cmonnn its fun seeing the absence of new techniques in old stuff#<- well . this works for me bc i <3 complaining (affectionate) but idk if itll work for other people#anyways just woke up i should shower aince i havent in 2 days#tumblr still isnt loading any photos i miss staring at images of yoo joonghyuk this website hates me

Authentic Story of the Shining Force - Saint Fencer Max - Chapter 4
Translation notes:
This is the last boob joke. We're free at last.
Here's the retranslation of every scene with the Spring of Recollection in the game. Overall, her speech here is fairly close to what she says in Waral in-game, with a few details from her final appearance sprinkled in, like her care for Cain. It does misses a few nuances though, like the Legacy being more than just Dark Dragon.
I don't think I've ever seen art of the Spring, but notably, she gets a portrait in the GBA version, and it looks a lot like the manga design, with the slightly wavy hair and especially the blank eyes.
Obviously, the manga rushes through the plot since it's short, thus a lot of places are skipped. I didn't even feel like pointing them out before. However I will point out Waral not being here this time, because Waral happens to not be in the beta map either, and it has very contradicting lore between the ASCII guide and the World Book, meaning it might have not been well developed. Besides, Chapter 5 is very weirdly structured. You get two ship battles that are basically the same, you get to Waral by accident, you advance the plot by going to Ring Reef for no reason and everyone telling you it's off-limits while letting you waltz in anyway, and hardly anything happens in the shrine besides you hearing about the Manual, which is not even a big deal because you get to Rudo by accident later (two ship accidents!! why repeat this plot point!!) and would go to Dragonia anyway to help Bleu. Basically, I obviously can't prove it, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ocean shrine was initially thought off as only a plot scene, and the battles/town added much later for gameplay reasons.
Perhaps worth mentioning, the GBA version also makes a point to mention that Max got lost in the shrine alone, and everyone was worried about him, which does remind me a lot of the ship scene here.
uh oh. i hit image limit for the first time and i don't wanna remove either of these pics. more notes on a reblog later.
#shining series#shining force#saint fencer max#saint fencer max translation#sfm max#sf cain#so. gamers. fans. friends and followers. are we good? are we normal? are we normal about the last pages? i'm not#unfortunately my typesetting does not do it justice but at least i put up a fight#those unending creaking noises mess me up so good#it's just. so good. all of this#why did the gba version wasted time with boring villain epilogues#when it could be giving me the Good Stuff (angst of a long haired anime man)#also is his hair dyed? the eyebrows kinda imply that. i'm not sure i like that but i'm not sure i dislike that either#his hair is so good tho#anyway i could talk about him forever and i will but i gotta talk about the spring too#i really like the sword of light being here. it works aesthetically at least. the mishaela plot is very dumb#i had a whole thing about the sword of light typed but i took it out for later cause it doesn't have much to do with the manga#will probably come though! the three max cain plots are the same basically but there have some difference in the details#that has mashed together in my brain#so i wanna pick that apart at some point#anyway back to the mango. i dearly miss the nuance about the legacy even though it took me a while to notice it in the game#between this and the pseudo-magic introduction the manga does suck a bit at portraying the ancients#but i like how despite the weird pacing of the manga this part kinda flows better#with the spring's revelations all here in the middle#instead of popping in manarina like 'yeah boy you're hero of fate wait three chapter until we elaborate on that though'#naturally the game has good battle content to keep you happy through it#but the manarina scene feels kinda useless to me#anyway i probably had more to say about this while translating but i'm very sleepy#i will never shut up about this chapter though. mark my words

Listen I *know* that not making art doesnt diminish one's value as a person--but damn does it sure feel like it once that source of validation dries up
#im good at other stuff. but its waaaay harder to squeeze that level of validation out of people#for like. 'being good at finding mushrooms' or 'knowing a lot of faxts about native plants'#i keep thinking ive finally come to terms with being a person who doesnt make art anymore#but sometimes i miss those hits#i feel like my life and interests and personality traits keep getting weirder and more niche as i age#and everyone always says thats a good thing and that ill 'find my people' or whatever#but my experience has only been that becoming harder to relate to only makes you have less in the long run#at the end of the day you only get praise for stuff people like. if you cant get that homemade is NOT fine actually#you need to feel like you matter to others. which kinda feels like selling out no matter what you do#idk. sometimes i wish i could pick up that pencil again#but theres way more going on under the hood there than i thought and i really dont think its happening
