Question for the people, what the fuck does that last part mean and might I know what it constitutes!

The fact that precious baby angel Hex seems to have such a tiny fandom on Tumblr is a grave injustice. He’s an adorable nurse who only ever seems to say “Oh my god!” and his voice actor is essentially a gay porn star.

so who had the government violating human rights law because they hate poor people on their 2023 tory bingo?

yeah so this piece by robert booth just got published in the guardian and it begins as such:

which is not at all surprising because yeah the government really hates poor people here. like as in one of the "solutions" to rising in homelessness in cities is to just,, buy unhoused people a one way train ticket to somewhere else.

its good to know that weve officially reached the level of violating international law. and by good, i dont know what i mean either.

anyway, booth goes on to say:

he is, of course, incredibly correct, and im highkey obsessed with him calling the welfare state "a leaking bucket".

obviously, the government gave a response of:

but did also go on to say this:

which doesnt really strengthen their argument. if anything, it actively hampers it.

it is also incredibly funny that the government's response to being accused of human rights violations due to the poverty in their country by the guy whose job involves being the go-to expert on human rights and poverty is akin to a child saying they didnt steal the chocolate that is staining their clothes and their hands and also they are still eating it.

please join me in pointing and laughing. at least, we have that.

de schutter actually offers solutions of his own within the article:

these, of course, famously being loved by tories. loved so much that they just forgot to do any of it during the last 13 years.

yeah, its been 13 fucking years.

if you dont use your vote to vote them out at the next general election, i will break your kneecaps with a rounders bat.

anyway, robert booth finishes the article off with:

and wheres the fucking lie? it hits the nail on the head so accurately, its honestly as impressing as it is depressing.

obviously, this isnt the entire article and i would implore you to read all of it.

i dont exactly have my hopes up for the government actually doing anything to effectively address poverty, but hey, you never know.

The final chapter of Turnabout volume 2, chapter 14, can be read HERE

No more cliffhangers. This is it. The storyline wraps up in a satisfactory way so I’ll be leaving you all on a high note.

I will NOT be translating volume 3 or 4 due to the amount of time and effort it takes compared to the amount of exposure this project has gotten. I know like 5 of you cared, but I’m going to be busy due to life so even if I wanted to, I can’t continue this. If you want to pick it up, be my guest.

Thanks for coming along for ザ ride!

Y’all... Y’ALL...

I had a dream where Riza Hawkeye and... da da da daaa~ Major Armstrong’s little sister CATHERINE are DATING.

Like, Armstrong tells Riza that it is of utmost importance that she is properly introduced to the Armstrong family, as is tradition long held in the Armstrong family for generations upon generations... at an Armstrong pool party! Hosted by the head of the Armstrong family!

So yeah, Catherine has never told her parents (or the rest of her siblings) that she’s dating Riza. Probably because traditionally the ladies of the Armstrong family married men and vice versa. But Armstrong fully supports and encourages them in any way possible! Catherine is pretty calm about all this, convinced that her parents will understand but Riza is... uncharacteristically nervous about all this.

Once Jean Havoc finds out they’re dating, he’s appalled because not even Riza (as cool as she is) is as buff as Armstrong himself! Meanwhile the rest of the team convince Riza to go ahead to the pool party anyway.

And the pool is gigantic. Like one would find at a mansion. Pretty white concrete and bricks adorn it (somehow? It’s a dream, what did you expect?) It’s so huge that everyone at the party is just hanging out in the pool while snacking on biscuits and glasses of wine. Oh, and the biscuits and wine are on floating trays in the pool and somehow never knocked overboard?

“This is a grand pool,” Riza comments, trying to make small talk.

“Ah, yes!” Major Armstrong explains, “This pool has been in the Armstrong family for generations upon generations! Our ancestors built this-”

Armstrong blabbers on, pink sparkle and flexing biceps galore. Riza somehow sees pink sparkles around ALL the Armstrongs as they’re entranced by the glory stories of how the pool was built with pure muscle.

So there’s Riza, in the pool leaning back against an edge and using a glass of wine as a sort of metaphorical barrier between herself and the family. Everyone is talking and having a good time. However, Catherine’s mother speaks up:

“My darling Catherine, I must say, where is this handsome date of yours?” Mrs. Armstrong asks, smiling.

“Yes, yes,” Mr. Armstrong drawls, smoothing his curly mustache with his blunt fingertips, “It is most unfashionable to keep us waiting at this party, I must say.”

Riza spits out her wine in disbelief. As far as she knew she was the only non-Armstrong there.

Then this whole time the party is going on, Olivier is leery eyed towards Riza (because y’know she’s smart and protective of Catherine. Like I’ve never actually read or watched that far into FMA manga/Brotherhood anime.)

The whole family looks around, and see Catherine smiling cutely towards Riza who is visibly sweating drops of beads on her forehead. They’re shocked, but not in disgust, just merely surprised and perhaps a bit disappointed because Riza ISN’T buff like one should marry into the Armstrong family. As they’re nitpicking at her like:

“I can barely see any muscle.”

“Can she even lift a piano?”

And so on and so forth.

With every comment the family slowly moves towards Riza, and she is shaking as if holding herself back from going apeshit, BUT HECK. She grabs her pistol that’s somehow been undetected this whole time and snugly fit on her hip while using her swimsuit bottom as a gun belt somehow?? She points it at the family, who raise their arms and immediately shut their mouths.

“My name is Hawkeye for a reason,” Riza seethes.

Meanwhile Catherine is still smiling, not even a hint of worry on her face, and Armstrong nods. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong look at one another, a bit confused and maybe unsure. But upon closer inspection...

“Ah! I see!” Mr. Armstrong exclaims, “You are strong! Yes, quite so.”

“Yes!” Mrs. Armstrong gushes, “Catherine loves men as buff as her elder brother Alex and women as buff as her elder sister Olivier!”

Riza spits out more wine once this is pointed out.

So yes, Riza x Catherine? Rizerine? Catheriza?

The Palladian Bridge, Wilton House, Wiltshire

The Palladian Bridge at Wilton House, in Wiltshire, was built in 1736-37 for Henry Herbert, the 9th Earl of Pembroke. The design was his own, and such was his passion for building that he became known as the ‘Architect Earl’. The bridge crosses the River Nadder which forms the boundary between the formal gardens and informal landscape. Continue reading The Palladian Bridge, Wilton House, Wiltshire

Have you seen that one Olivier Awards recording where PQ gets his award for South Pacific? There’s also a small interview section with him in another part of the video.

I think I've seen the clip of him getting the award at the end of the performance but I don't know if I have watched the interview.

Can you send me the link
