fun fact during the war the drinking age for women was 18 in Illinois which means that sometime in the middle of the 1944 season the peaches could take Esti out for dinner to have her first legal (in US) drink
#esti gonzález#a league of their own#aloto#idk when it was for Cuba at the time but now it is 16 so that might not have been a huge deal to her but whatever#after the devastating sadness of no one knowing about her birthday in 43 I just want them to take her out in 44 and act like it's a big dea#Lupe owes her a drink let's be real#anyways it would be cute. esp after they have her drinking coca cola thru a striped straw in the scene where everyone is drinking beer#altho I'm pretty sure we see her taking a shot in ep 8

What can be do to utterly destroy the idea that any episode of Doctor Who that looks good and is well made is inherently bad?
#doctor who#dw#so tired of this take#it is shallow seems driven entirely by a nostalgic misunderstanding#of why the fx from 17 years ago look like they do#it wasn't because the production was badly run#it's because it was 17 years ago on a bbc budget#which still look pretty good at the time#and a major step up from where the show had been 16 years before#of course at the time you had some classic fans complain about the cgi fx ruining the show and taking away its charm#now it has become rtd1 fans#and I'm sure given enough times it will be moffat and chibnall ones#because the show is always going to look better as time goes on#filming tech will improve#but we'll always have people complain that it should look like it did 17 years ago#and not it is all about fxs and production values#sigh

True story that I will absolutely deny if anyone ever asks me about it:
When I was in high school, various healthcare professionals had me convinced that I had a psychosomatic reaction to needles. I also had a higher-than-average number of medical screenings as an adolescent. This led to me trying to talk myself through more than one blood draw by imagining that Lestat really needed to feed and I was the only available donor.
Turns out, self-insert fanfic doesn't stand a chance against anemia and generalized anxiety disorder, but my overly dramatic teenage Anne Rice Era sure does spring back to mind every time I sit in a phlebotomist's chair.
#it was never the needle#I could take a vax shot like a pro#and I still have problems with this type of procedure#have occasionally wondered if my metal allergies have something to do with it#and there's a good chance it actually is some vasovagal syncope situation#but I sure as fuck wasn't 'afraid of needles' by the time I was 16#anyway#point is#I'm pretty stoked to see this dumbass' side of the story#(my gf and I just got to S2 and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it#but I'm still willing to give the benefit of the doubt because I was always only ever here for the unreliable narrators)#no one asked you ms p#not one single person asked you#my inexplicable vampire fascination

*reading a review for a beloved manga from my childhood* "the art is really good for shojo" well there u go i can't trust ur opinion lol
#maybe i'm just biased because i read this manga when i was the same age as the main character but i really don't think it's as bad as#this person is making it out to be#for one i don't think they gave enough credit to the twists#for two they focused a lot on the age difference which... i don't think is that bad?#when they meet and fall in love they're only 4 years apart#they're literally both teenagers?#like in this case his real age genuinely is just a number because he's been stuck in time emotionally/spiritually for years (idr how many)#and when they're reunited she's an adult and he's still in his twenties iirc#'oh wow so many coincidences lol' he was literally assigned to her because they have a connection and his being in a coma was foreshadowed#'oh she's magically cured wow' yes BY MAGIC... IN A SERIES....... WITH MAGIC....... HELLO??????#this is about full moon wo sagashite btw which i am planning on reading again after almost 20 years so we'll see if i eat my words lol#rum.txt#idk i maintain that ppl who don't like shoujo shouldn't review shoujo. just don't read it bro no one has a gun to your head#ALSO IM PRETTY SURE I REMEMBER HER AGE DIFFERENCE WITH EICHI BEING WAY WORSE? NO MAGIC INVOLVED I SWEAR SHE WAS UNDER 10 AND HE WAS LIKE 16#i could be remembering it wrong#but i remember as a 12 or 13 year old i was way more skeeved out by that relationship than her and takuto

what if I renamed Storm as Zephyr instead. what if I renamed myself Zephyr. hmm. hmmmmmm.
#nothing permanent decided just yet of course#but I was just reminded that the word exists and hit damn. it sure does have a certain pull to it#if I do rename Storm then like... 'Storm' would definitely still stick around as a nickname at the very least#but like. I'm honestly considering it for my own name. I've been looking for a better one#my birth name is just ehhhh to me. I don't feel a ton of connection to it really#and Color is fine for online spaces/with people who know this side of me. but it's not really something I tend to introduce myself as irl#I mean to be fair Zephyr might not be taken much more seriously either but it does have a certain feel that I like#eh. if it doesn't really really stick with me then maybe it'll end up as the name for an alternate Storm form or something#like that angel design I made for her yeaaaaars ago#ironically it's about this time of year that I decided to change her name from Color to Storm. that was back around new years 2017...#holy FUCK how is that SEVEN years ago#I. huh. what .. what the fuck. yeah it was winter 2016/17 I'm pretty sure? if not then it was 2015/16 which means eight years and. man. huh.#okay checking old refs it was in fact 2017 when she officially became Storm#wild.#anyway that's tonight's 2:30am thoughts#the snowjag speaks

Optimus will help everyone if he can help it, and by primus does he have the power now to damn try
I underestimated just how much math there'd be in this fic, y'all're lucky I'm fairly okay at math
#d-16#Optimus prime#fic reading as ya do#fic snippets#i fucking await the day that d-16 gets to see the sky for the first time in this fic#and the first time he gets to fuel on actual fuel because I'm pretty sure he's fueling on entirely unrefined energon

The way I somehow always overestimate just how behind I am in black butler
#''oh it has been one thousand years since i last read it surely i have so many chapters to read......'' vs 16 chapters#yana living that good life good for her good for her#anyway i'm on par again 💪i'm sure that this must have been said a thousand times but the ynn vibes of this latest arc are off the charts#though i'm pretty sure that she's had this planned for ages and it just so happened that ynn was published before aidkfk#and. shitty memory strikes back (though tbf it Has been years) but huh. i don't remember shit about the circus and this might be a problem#mytext#animanga#black butler

mysterious mutual is back and ASRFGERFHETH I JUST OPENED BOOK FOUR TO FIND A SCENE TO REFERENCE WHILE WRITING YOU STUFF AND APPARENTLY I HAVE A BOOKMARK IN FOR THE SOPHIANA BED SCENE FROM FOREVER AGO LMAO
Ha! i just went to check if I had any scenes bookmarked (turns out there are 2) and in the process books 1 and 2 ended up taking skydives from the very top shelf. as you can see i'm very responsible with my books
your bookmarked scene is much better than mine though, what an excellent scene. Shannon really just pulled that out like...where did that come from? Like it's fun to read and think about and make jokes about, but taking a step back how did that end up being written? How did we get there? That's so out of left field and never happened again like. huh??
Was that to show emotional vulnerability and reliance between the two? To create a smoother transition into further Biana/Sophie scenes (such as the two of them going together with Calla)? That's not the only way to achieve that though, so what made that the final choice? If that was even the reason in the first place. Was it a random idea that could fill that quota Shannon thought was cute so she kinda made work despite it not fully fitting with everything else? Unless I'm spacing something and it actually fits perfectly.
Anyway, fun scene to have bookmarked! Even if it's now making me question why it exists
#kotlc#quil's queries#nonsie#all caps#oh in case you were wondering the two scenes I have bookmarked are pages 16-17 of lodestar and pages 6-7 of legacy#both of which were done (I believe) when I was making the timeline#not sure. but I'm pretty sure that's why those are bookmarked#from me scanning through the beginnings looking for mention of time passed between that book and the last#and then bookmarking once I realized there'd be no further info#so those pages don't necessarily have timeline relevant info on them. they're just after ones who do

what tattoos do you want 👀
*twirls my hair* WELL, SINCE YOU ASKED...
nothing crazy, really. in order of when i first thought of them:
1. a Triforce tattoo on my right wrist, just below my palm
2. some sort of Undertale tattoo... somewhere... on my bicep, maybe? thinking of being cliché and getting "despite everything, it's still you", but i might go for something different
3. post top surgery, once i'm all healed up, i want to get little cherubs made to look like they're stitching up my chest 'cause i think that'd be rad as hell, and a cute little fuck you to the literal cult i was raised in (the one youth pastor in particular who gagged at the mere mention of transgender people can SUCK MY future T-DICK)
(secret idea no. 4: a Deltarune tattoo? maybe?)
#i think that's it really#when it comes to getting tattoos related to media i'm hesitant 'cause i can't be sure if this is a hyperfixation that'll fade in a few +#+ months/years or if i'll be obsessed with this for the rest of my life#i've loved zelda since i was a kid and i've loved undertale since i was 13 (deltarune since i was 16 and it's not done yet❗️☝🏽) so#i think it's pretty safe to say that i won't stop loving them any time soon#OH MY GOD I FORGOR ABOUT SPIDEY#erm. i have no idea what i want for him#i'll think of something! eventually!#for the record i've loved him since i was a kid as well#the first spider-man movie came out 3 DAYS before my birthday#it was fate that he'd give me autism#bromios#ask

MADOKA - “I’m thinking I’ll order a beef udon bowl, since Sayaka-chan told me that they make those really good here. What about you, Homura-chan?”
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY - Food needs can be met with an expenditure of 1.23% of total magic. Proceed?
GRIEF SYNDROME [Trivial: Success] - MAGICAL GIRLS THAT IGNORE FOOD ARE OFTEN MORE PRONE TO GRIEF ACCUMULATION. MY ARMS WILL ALWAYS BE WAITING FOR YOU, HOMURA, BUT IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE HAPPY UNTIL THAT DAY. BESIDES, MADOKA WANTS TO EAT WITH YOU. DISAPPOINTING HER WILL FILL YOUR SOUL GEM WITH A HALF A GRIEF SEED WORTH OF DESPAIR.
TEA WITH MAMI-SAN [Legendary: Success] - Sayaka says the beef bowl is good? Maybe go for that. She knows Madoka’s tastes better than anyone — and if Madoka likes something, you will certainly like it too.
“I will have the same as you, Madoka.”
“I’m not feeling very hungry.”
[CALL AND RESPONSE - Medium 10] Come up with an order on your own
CALL AND RESPONSE - [Medium: Failure] - You’ve eaten here before, you’re pretty sure. Was it Loop 32… no, Loop 12..? No, wait, it was on the first Friday of Loop 68. No… that’s not right. You’ve never eaten here before. In a stunning display of incompetence, you have taken Madoka on a date to a restaurant that you have never experienced before.
THE ANGEL - It’s okay, Homura-chan! I don’t mind if you haven’t eaten here before. Remember what real me said, Sayaka thinks this place is good! And even if it’s not perfect, that’s okay, just spending time with you makes me happy.
THE CRAVEN MASSES - Sayaka has raised her blade against Madoka 16 times before. You should leave this restaurant and kill her. It would only take-
FALLING SAND [Trivial: Success] - 1528 seconds on average.
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY - It can be cut down to 1243 seconds with an expenditure of 2.7% of total magic pool.
THE CRAVEN MASSES - Exactly. Do it in front of her family and make it bloody. Kyoko would likely try and stop you, but even she isn’t immune to bullets. And if Mami comes for revenge, well, you know the exact words you could say that would destroy her, don’t you?
THE ANGEL - A-Ah, I think that’s a bit of an extreme reaction, Homura-chan!
HUMAN SHELL - Your heart rate is increasing. Stop that. You have absolute control over your flesh. Act like it.
MOE INSTINCT - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ORDER MADOKA IS GOING TO LAUGH AT US
WITCH’S NIGHT - Is… is this a trap? Walpurgis may be defeated, but you know that the stage witch never truly ceases its show. Perhaps this restaurant is a part of the stage?
MADOKA - “Um, are you okay, Homura-chan?”
MOE INSTINCT - OH GOD SHE HATES US
“I’m going to kill myself.”
“I’m so sorry. Would killing myself make you feel more comfortable?”
Isn’t there anything else you can say?
YOU - Isn’t there anything else you can say?
THE DEVIL - Come on, Homura. It’s high time you do it. Really, this is just another in the long, long chain of failures that make up your life. The only way to fix it is to kill yourself.
CLOCKWORK PRECISION - Target: Located on right ring finger. Target is not moving. Chance to hit: High. Plan: Retrieve pistol. Aim pistol at ring. Pull trigger.
THE ANGEL - Oh my god, please do not do that!
"I am going to kill myself."
"I'm so sorry, I'll kill myself if it makes you feel better."
"I'm so sorry. Should I kill myself?"
There. There has to be better options than this.
YOU - There. There has to be better options than this.
MOE INSTINCT - I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY MORE. THE ONLY RECOURSE IS IMMEDIATE SUICIDE. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY MADOKA WILL LOVE YOU AGAIN.
"I am going to kill myself."
"I'm so sorry, I'll kill myself if it makes you feel better."
"I'm so sorry. Should I kill myself?"
YOU - “I’m going to kill myself.”
MADOKA - Madoka’s face twists, her eyebrows raising slightly in shock. Whatever response she was expecting, it was clearly not this.
GRIEF SYNDROME [Challenging: Success] - IF MADOKA WAS A MAGICAL GIRL, HER SOUL GEM WOULD FILL BY A QUARTER HEARING YOU SPEAK THOSE WORDS. THAT WAS CRUEL, HOMURA.
MOE INSTINCT - WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?
MADOKA - “I’m so sorry, Homura-chan. Please don’t do that. I… I really care about you and so does everyone else.” Madoka’s eyes fill with tears as she speaks. She hugs you.
DAMAGED MORALE -4
CALL AND RESPONSE [Trivial: Success] - Quick, tell her you were making an edgy joke that didn’t land. You’ve gotten away with that before, you’re pretty sure.
SPACE-TIME MASSACRE - Twelve quarter shifts left and two up from your current space-time position, and there’s a Japan that it’s actually illegal to not commit suicide in.
FALLING SAND - You’ve been seated for 5 minutes and 32.5 seconds already and still have not ordered. Mami has requested your presence at her apartment in 3.4 hours from now.
TEA WITH MAMI-SAN - She wants to help you find a hobby. She’s really worried about you, you know.
STRINGS OF FATE - You can feel Madoka’s heart beat in sync with yours as she holds you. Everything will be alright, as long as you follow the beat.
THE ANGEL - Yeah! It’s okay Homura-chan. Just explain what’s been going on and Madoka will understand. And then order something, it’s important to eat a full meal!
YOU - “Ah, sorry Madoka. I was… overwhelmed with choice, and my… brain spit out the first thing it thought. I am not planning on killing myself.”
MADOKA - “Um, I think we should probably talk about this more, Homura-chan….”
CALL AND RESPONSE - Ask her a question to change the topic. It’s worked in three different loops, it should work here.
RATIONALITY COMPLEX [Trival: Success] - Ask her if she wants to try anything else and then order that for yourself. This will accomplish your goal of deciding on what to order, as well as showing Madoka that her desires are important to you.
YOU - “Is there anything else you’d like to try, Madoka? We can share our dishes.”
MADOKA - “Uh, okay Homura-chan. Maybe get some tempura?”
Order 10000 yen worth of tempura
Order 1000 yen worth of tempura
Order 100 yen worth of tempura
YOU - “Excuse me waiter, give me 10000 yen worth of tempura.”
HUMAN SHELL - Calories and magic are just two different types of fuel. Feed me and control me.
THE ANGEL - T-that’s probably too much, Homura-chan. Maybe you can sneak some into your cool shield, though!
MADOKA - Madoka doesn’t say anything, but her eyes do bulge out slightly. She gives you a gentle pat on the shoulder and smiles at you.
HEALED MORALE +1
RATIONALITY COMPLEX - Displays of wealth like this can broadcast value to potential mates. This will increase your value in Madoka’s eyes, furthering along one of your goals.
THE ANGEL - I think you should just focus on enjoying the food, Homura-chan. Take a break, everything is okay.
Thank you.
Why don’t you hate me?
YOU - Why don’t you hate me?
THE ANGEL - Because I care about you, Homura-chan! And besides, you hate yourself far too much already.
Thank you.
THE ANGEL - You’re welcome! Now, please, enjoy your meal with real Madoka. She loves you a lot too, you know.
#disco elysium#pmmm#madoka magica#yellowed pages#this took an unfortunate amount of my day dhdhdh wrote most of this in between running to do pointless chores

@hellsitegenetics
I love them
I didn't know I needed to know that the weed-smoking girlfriends post was genetically a wolf, but I did, and I do. Also puts great stuff on my dash.
it’s so fun to be scrolling unhinged posts and then boom. an organism!
so many moths‼ also, unexpected comedy with some of the matches
perfect blend of silly and informative, and makes for an excellent punchline at the end of a long post. puts creatures on my dash. literally what more could you ask for
It's a really unique blog concept and a lot of times the results are pretty funny. It's great when the sequence matches the post content too!
Creatures 👍
Finds beautiful creatures out of the mess of the hellsite
Offers finality AND gives us a creechur.
I love them. English speakers talk like moths
If this blog wins, they could run the text of the winning announcement, and determine the post's genus and species!
They're also very good about tagging the type of creature depicted in the results, so as long as you mute tags of creatures you don't want to see, it's a very fun time seeing iconic legacy posts (and new submissions) being reduced down to a string of letters and assigned a random species of fish or moth or something!
uhh it’s cool
BLAST
There are so many weird bugs in the world
Yippee!!
If, as Haldane said, God has an inordinate fondness for beetles, then surely this blog proves that Tumblr has an inordinate fondness for moths.
Top tier blog as a geneticist, I love seeing obscure organisms and MOTH
Admin got rate limited after trying to blast the bee movie
the knowledge of biology to pull this off (i have taken one biology class in my life) and also the work to find all the strings honestly deserves quite a bit of praise
This gimmick blog has it all: science, pictures of animals, interaction with the text of other peoples' posts, interesting information, and a unique and fun premise. As a biologist, I'm rooting for hellsitegenetics to reach the end and take the tournament, because it is truly a standout among gimmick blogs.
If they win, perhaps this blog too shall become a cool organism :3
@making-you-in-spore
Incredible works of art from a limited medium, the blog favors quality over quantity and I am always in awe when a dancing creacher in Spore [2008] crosses my dash.
His spores often take him multiple hours to create, and he will go through astounding amounts of effort to commit to the bit. He made his cull poll in spore and then blew it up. Hes also super responsive and active and seems really eager to share his creation techniques and spread the joy of making things in spore [2008]. His blog almost singlehandedly sparked a significant resurgence in interest and playerbase of a 16 year old game that most people see as nothing but a meme. Hes just a guy who likes spore [2008]
i say vote for making you in spore because seeing them blow up their opponents after they win is hilarious

Seeing the buzz about war within makes me think of my favorite warcraft blorbo- Arator. Wonder if he'll have anything new? With Turalyon on the throne and Alleria one of the main advertised protagonists I hope so.
He was mentioned a few times in Vow Eternal. He is on Golden's radar which makes me both nervous and excited. He was hanging out with his parents and then hanging out with Dagran which was sweet. And she did mention him in Before the Storm.
#Christie Golden has Arator writing rights so far in my book. His mention in BtS is circled in my book thank you very much#And his interaction with Dagran was really cute- I'm sure he has a way with kids from his cousins.#I think (slightspoiler?) Dagran's new alleged model made me think of him today.#Roux does not have Arator writing rights tho. Sorry girl you did not check your time line for that story Alleria told in shadows rising#I do wonder if they would touch up the lore in beyond the dark portal for him. I am pretty satisfied with my own hcs and the light recon#no double dipping for retcons tho Roux- that's my made up rules#Arator the Redeemer#Arator Windrunner#warcraft#the windrunners continue to live near rent free in my brain. I need to squeeze a stresstoy if I think about them too much I swear#fucked up elves (affectionate)#+their human partners who have one whole last name between the three of them and the kids the narrative sometimes remembers#the twins are like 16 now I think?? Wild.#give them in game models Blizzard#z talks#don't mind this absolute NOVEL in the tags
