[sommerregenjuniluft]

please share about the marauders mbti types lune <33

now this is just way too broadly formulated i’m gonna go on a YAP adventure and it’s solely ur fault royal

first of all i wanna say how much pandora and evan are the intp & istp siblings duo like PLS!!!!!!!! look me in the eye and tell me pandora invents spells socially awkward hyperfixated bright mind isnt intp and evan gifted duelist hands on learning bitchy ass rosier isnt an istp!!!! okay now that i got this off my chest…… barty estp of course, our chaotic king<3 we cherish him and the vibe that he brings to the function. sirius is always hard to figure out for me for someone reason idk but with some help of bea aka tumblr user @faggylittleleatherboy reincarnated sirius black i found my truth for him as entp aka the charming little shit personality. i knew james was gonna be similar to him and barty so the eventual choice fell on entj (not sure i’m entirely happy with this one yet tho). next up, lily!! that one was harder for me too, i sorta ended up at i/enfj. i feel like lily is pretty ambivert! google claimed she was an esfj and i can see why they would say that but as an aquarius myself i feel the need to point out that we are not practical!! i dont know one aquarius that would prefer being practical over daydreaming/philosophing!!!!! i physically need her to be a witty and charming and creative!!!!

hi!! i just wanted to let you know that i started reading cherry magic in july last year after seeing the anime announced on toyota-sensei's twitter! i couldn't even rlly translate the announcement myself without the help of google translate LMAO but her illustration of them looked so sweet i had to snoop around. more than half a year later. i am no longer normal and my brain is fully rotted over and i think of those two nearly every waking moment!! your art, along with so many others feeds me and your translations are So Appreciated thank you for doing gods work. i usually don't get super involved in fandom or w/e other than consuming fanart or fics so the fact i find myself actually drawing them is so new to me...idk cherry magic really is so refreshing and it's just nice as an adult to see a mature relationship between two working adults. there are callbacks to childhood or childlike behaviors or interests sprinkled throughout the manga's dialogue and i always appreciated how they weren't seen as embarrassing or immature to embrace or learn from as an adult, but encouraged or seen as a valuable part of balancing work, life, and love. idk it's def one of the more subtle and less expanded upon parts of it but i love how adachi's and kurosawa's love of manga, though seen as a children's activity (from how kurosawa thought people saw it) was actually one of their first mutual hobbies. it's also interesting to see how many things about kurosawa's psyche are remnants of ideas probably for a lack of better wording, were taught to him from an early age. his self-image, how he tries to uphold certain societal standards, etc etc. im glad he found refuge in adachi that way. im sorry for rambling for so long but i've just been thinking about these two so much ldks

anon pls u never have to apologize for rambling abt my fav guys of all time, u should actually talk w me about them more i want to hear ur thoughts !! the eng speaking fandom isnt that big (or at least i dont get to interact w a lot of ppl personally) but its fun making art and doing the translations for my blorbos so im happy other ppl enjoy it too 🥺

and yess everything u said abt the childlike/immature stuff krdc enjoy like the fact that their interest in manga and stuff is never made fun of or anything (which would be ironic anyway since theyre In a manga themselves fdkjskf) but actually one of the things that gets them closer is So good augh?? (also spoilers for the radio drama if u havent seen it yet, but to me one of the best changes they made was changing the port scenes setting to an anime con instead like Yeah!! theyre little nerd guys of course theyd attend a con!!!! that plus how they both like watching animated movies and playing games too like its a very specific thing to Me but that relatability w stuff i do myself makes them both feel a lot more human? if that makes sense)

also w kurosawas whole deal its Definitely a longterm thing hes had for a while, and in canon its mostly been his friendships/relationships that affected him (probs the most clear in ch45 my beloved) but from the way the meeting w his parents went theres for sure a lot of parental/family pressure involved too?? this is going into hc territory but i have like a whole Thing brewing in my head about kurosawas and maris relations w their parents and how that affected their self image and all growing up too and i rlly wanna make stuff for it someday (idk if anyone would be interested but id probably do it regardless so fkdjksjfk)

Yandere chaggastor: the hotel wouldn't be called "hazbin hotel" but the original idea, "happy hotel" due to showing their smiles to the residents.

Heres Vaggies smile:

(Pls someone tell me who the original artist is???!! Google image search thingy isnt helping!! All it does is show this on an ai chat platform and a fandom wiki page 'Sweet Dreams' under "Homosexual joke")

But yeah thats yandere Vaggies grin.

Seriously she'd sing 'Hide and Seek' if you're her victim in hiding.

Yandere!Charlie would be very overexcited and have random mood swings and just cant stop giggling!

Yandere!Alastor is quick to anger if you dont go along with them.

Ayo! Greetings! I hope you are doing pretty well! I’m really sorry for asking this as I’m truly in dire need of help. My cat needs some immediate help for her surgery so I’m trying to raise some funds for her. If you have some spare time, please check it out the post that I have pinned for her, and if you feel it in your heart to help, please do us the favor by boosting the post or share it! Even if you cannot donate, spreading the word is definitely more than enough. Thank you for your kindness, and so sorry again for being this direct! <33

//update they blocked me instantly so hey anyone peeping this post or in their url tag just know this is a scam :) stay safe out there kids

you know what i feel in my heart

fuck no 🙏❤

hey kids, lets play a game of spot a scam again!! (im copying the message ive replied with before here and the original is at the bottom if you wish to reblog that one :) just editing this a bit here to show the new stuff they are putting out there in this very message yay!!)

okay this is literally the same story ive seen before at least three times. its word to word the same. youre not even trying

reblogging ONLY FROM ORIGINAL SOURCES posts in the past two days so :)

also they try to act more human with a decent description and likes and follows turned off. dont try hun

their only original post as far as i scrolled (which admittedly wasnt very far as its obvious this is a scam lol) is the donation post. unsurprisingly

ive said it before and i’ll say it again - they seem to target people in similar positions that they are supposedly in, trying to pluck that sympathy cord with “your pet is sick so you are sensitive and know how this feels”. this isnt my case rn but i obviously have posted cat photos and i have a donation ko-fi link in my pinned post sssoooo

“pls consider answering this ask privately” lmao so what people dont know youre a scammer? NEXT (this isnt in this ask surprisingly, but im leaving it in here cause they do this occasionally still)

a simple search even within tumblr tells you people already know about this. the account, the story and the cat. you aint fooling anymore

if unsure kids, ask a friend and google things 👍 reverse image search, for example, is your best friend!! also googling the latter half of the given paypal name reveals immediately that this is a scam. plastered all over the first search page lmao

also kids, in case youre asking “well what bad could a one little me reblogging a post even if its a scam do if i dont donate :/” 1. im sorry what and 2. it makes them look legitimate which they are not. the more notes the more trusted the source cause tumblr is full of idiots (sorry not sorry ive been here for over 11 years i know what people are like) plus you put your friends, mutuals and followers in a risk of participating in a scam. and have your name associated with it as well. do i need to go on?

anyways hi go report this blog and always be hesitant if someone you dont know asks you for donations like this. unless its a beloved mutual on your dash, reconsider. stay safe, thanks 💜

looking forward to being blocked immediately after posting this, but i’ll be sure to report you for a scam. :) also fuck you for using someone elses poor cat and their situation to literally scam good natured people out of money, what the fuck is wrong with you

peace and love, fuck you ✌💜

[kxmikomrade]

oh ho ho

why hello there

I just read through a bunch of the stuff you have about yourself, and now you have to deal with me <3

so first of all: i saw that you really liked blue period, and I was wondering how you'd recommend it? I keep on wanting to watch it but my mind goes "but you have this thing" and "what about the other three animes you're watching" but who cares! It looks really pretty tho. Also me and my partner are going to watch Bungo Stray Dogs together (eventually-) bc it's his favorite anime lol.

ok next point: WATERMELON IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FOODS I LOVE WATERMELON. MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM IS THE BEST. and i agree, winter and autumn are the best seasons. rain. rain is nice :).

third and i think final thing: you're learning japanese, you say? ok, i have a few questions for you. what are you learning it on? (i'm learning it on the demon bird app, aka duolingo). what words have you learned? what do you know about the grammar/word structure? and the scary one: have you started learning the terror that is katakana? (if no, it's just another alphabet with the same order and sounds, except different characters. i hate katakana :,>) because i can't type in japanese on my chromebook, i'll just use the romanji. But expect me to send you random hiragana and have you say what it is!

Kimu-san, yahho! Anata ga kakkoii to karai desu yo! (i promise you it's a compliment <3)

try to tell me what that means, and expect more random japanese in your future :)

anyways have a lovely day byeee <3

when i saw the 'oh ho ho' i heard french venti LMAOOO 💀💀

omg new moot guys NEW MOOT !! u match my vibe so <3

BLUE PERIOD IS SO SHHEHEHEHHE esp if ur an artist like myself, it gives u a different and probably more professional view of art ^^ For wat i like abt it, i'd say da characters and how theyre written. The main character is pretty relatable. Theres another character who has family issues and may be trans (or genderfluid? it isnt confirmed but she was born male, currently dresses feminine and hates it when people uses her dead name). Another one who was born a 'Genius' but doesnt really understand art, hes only doing it bcs its basically wat he can only do. Another character who'm gets compared to her older sister and so on. Even minor characters have well written stories I suggest u watch da anime THEN read da manga from da beginning :>> Sanaol may partner- jkjk ur prob fil but imagien having a partner 😭 my lonely ass could never U SHOULDD WATCH BSD!! I LOVEEE DA ENDINGS ITS SUCH A VIBE AND DA OPS R BANGERS UGH THE CHARACTER DESIGNS AND PLOT I WANNA 👊 ITS INTERESTING BUT I SUGGEST ALSO READING THE MANGA FROM THE BEGINNING SINCE THE ANIME SKIPS ALOT OF THINGS AND IT MIGHT GET U CONFUSED 😭😭 Also, hes so true for that, hes DEF a keeper 💪 unless hes a mori/fukuchi stan then ew no

YESSS WATERMELON AND MINT CHOCO CHIP ICECREAM LOVERSS <333 Honestly, cold weathers >>>>>>

Im currently just memorizing da basics; hiragana and katakana before i continue off where i left off in grammar and vocab (i'll most likely start over since its been arounf half a year and i have goldfish memory 🥲) Ive already memorized hiragana, now im going with katakana but im focusing on art lately since i just got my stylus back so im prob not gonna do it for awhile but i'll try to before may >:DD I currently only use 'Write it Japanese!' app on mobile, its REALLY useful, idk anything to help with grammar but my jp speaking friend recommends da book 'Minna no nihongo'. She used to be my jp study buddy but shes been VERY busy with uni lately so :'''D AND YES BBG (can i call u dat??) LETS PRACTICE TOGETHER <33 tbh it would be better if we use hiragana/katakana/kanji (i literally dont know kanji SOBS) since it helps us learn!! AND DAT WOULD BE FUNN

From just my understanding: 'Kim-san, Yahoo/hello! Youre a cool person [smth smth]'

from google: 'Kimu, Yahoo! It hurts to think you're cool' (pls get ur shit together google 😭😭i couldnt call my friends bitches lovingly bcs of u)

YES I'LL BE EXPECTING THEM <33 I HOPE U HAVE A LOVELY DAY TOO HON

LMAO WAT DO I CALL U?? I WANNA ADD UR MOOT TAG

[bodaciousbird]

Youre getting reception in the dungeon??? Google spell for cell reception in the dungeon. Damnit this isnt a spell its just an ad for verison. No dont show me a video just tell me the incantation. Wiki how article pls help me.

Ive seen people be like in modern fantasy like "oh the pritagonists can just look up spells on their phone how do you solve that"

Imma be honest most people who go on recipe websites and book every recipe they see don't even use them lmao why would with be different

[writingbrainrot]

Pls, wrinkly brained, program savvy, linux using, reddit, github, discord, indie, ai, docker, custom fecker, .bat savvy people

I need y'all to understand some things.

Y'alls guides aren't helpful if my adhd and dyslexia makes me unable to process them or exhausts me too much to be able to finish following the instruction

Yalls guides arent helpful if you preface them by "its easy" if the person trying to do it doesnt know what reformatting a drive is

I still have to google the cd command

Yalls guides arent helpful if i have to use the browser search function to find the sections i need

Yalls guides arent helpful if i have to use google to find the section of the guide i need

Yalls guides arent helpful if there isnt a clear link going "guide/wiki/how to" is there are instructions beyond the install instructions

Yalls guides arent helpful if your instructions are "read this other githubs guides"

Yalls guides arent helpful if you go "docker compose is easy, just do it"

Yalls guides arent helpful if youre confused why people would wanna use windows/ios

Yalls guides arent helpful if i had 2 tb that i decided to install ubuntu on and every time i try to use it my mouse doesnt work randomly suddenly and i just dont have the energy so i have 2 tb of storage made worthless because that is how much it would cost me to shift to using linux

Yalls guides arent helpful if "ive been using linux all the time and have no issues" when trying to convince new users to join

Yalls guides arent helpful if i need chatgpts help WITH EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GITHUB PROGRAM IVE TRIED TO INSTALL AND RUN

ESPECIALLY IF YOURE MAKING THE PROGRAM TO HELP PEOPLE

Yalls guides arent helpful if i have to look up reddit posts to see the solution because it isnt mentioned in the guides

YALLS GUIDES ARENT FUCKING HELPFUL!!!! BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE NOT YOU

and i dont fault you for it but i'm sorry i'm notcapable of switching to linux from windows IF I HAVE TO DO A FIGHT TO USE IT EVERY FUCKING TIME WHEN WINDOWS JUST WORKS

You love this and thats why its intuitive and works for you? Great

I just wanted programs to backup my precious data and manage it

Why did i have to age 20 years

Why do i have to pay in stress if it's supposed to be free

(Lowkey want that last line embroidered)

[savi-of-ithaca]

pls can u just help me with it google isnt helping at all i swaer to beyonceee

im sure if you spent 5 minutes google would give better results than i would. because my answer is i don't know, buddy :(

Yo hi there! I’m very sorry to bother you at this time of the day, just reaching out if you’d be so kind to check the post that I pinned on my blog and maybe give it a little help by boosting/sharing it? it’s for my cat :((( and we need help to get him the dental care he needs. It would really mean the world to me and I understand if you don’t, still appreciate you and stay safe! and btw, please do send me a msg to reply or answer the ask privately instead as I want avoid other blogs to think im a spambot or what, once again im sorry for asking this, praying you’d consider! 🫶🏽🥹

[death-limes]

ok people in the comments are talking like they know what “deleuzian” entails and ive seen the word before but google isnt helping me figure out what it really means…. looks like its a philosophy about constantly asking questions and never really forming a conclusive opinion on things…? im lost, chat what is our understanding of “deleuzian” pls

sorry if i sound dumb i just woke up

The ‘systems of relay’ in doing cultural studies: experimenting with the ‘Body without Organs’ in b-girling practice

In this article, I highlight the system of relays between Deleuze and Guattari’s (2010) ‘Body without Organs’ (BwO), the gender politics of Sydney's breakdancing scene that regulate ‘what a body can do’, and my own breakdancing (b-girling) practice. The BwO is not a static notion, but both ‘a practice [and] a set of practices’ through which the body de-stratifies from the prevailing order of domination - such as gender - and refills with intensities that cannot be reduced to the generality of representation. This critical approach invites researchers to ‘experiment’ with the body’s affective capacities, and exposes breakdancing as a salient site to increase the regulated repertoire of bodily expression. My ‘practical action’ as a b-girl, then, deploys a new methodology to both negotiate the gendered assumptions of the scene and locate possible lines of social transformation.

the australian olympic breakdancer rachel "raygun" gunn is not only a cultural studies phd, but a deleuzian
