in light of recent events: still feeling kinda "huh." about the fact that they canonized what was most likely a formatting error on bungie's part that occurred when the info sheets for noble team were being published as part of the promo campaign way back in the day. as of 2022, it's just. canon now. huh. alright.

Pink is not Robin's color. She wouldn't wear it in a million years. She only wore it once because she had to. She was so uncomfortable in Nancy's clothes. . . but I like that she likes it on other people like Vickie. She wears makeup, but she definitely wears more masculine clothing. I have a feeling that I've already posted about it before, but I loved how Maya Hawke showed us how uncomfortable Robin was, that it wasn't who she was and Robin decided to say screw it. She was going to do it her way. Nancy was probably all giddy on the inside that the prospect of making a new best friend. I hope we see more of that friendship in season five. Although, I can see Nancy pulling away because she thinks she's cursed. She's already lost TWO friends, so if we don't see more of them, it would be disappointing for sure but understandable. I hope Nancy manages to push past that, though. How did I get here again? I could have sworn I was just making a post about how I love the way Robin dresses.

Me trying to finally bite the bullet and come up with a title for the sequel: Despair, suffering, cruelty 😭😭😭 the world is unjust, unfair! I have been wronged! This is a personal attack and I won't stand for it!
^This user can't come up with a more serious title for the life of them, please pray for mercy 😔
#lixy reports#istg the tangents i went on yesterday were fucking ridiculous#i started with just throwing around ideas#then i looked up poetry (i don't know shit about poetry)#then i read up wiki articles about physics stuff#then i listen to my really old random songs playlist on youtube in case something hit the spot (it didn't)#in the end i tried a completely different angle but i don't really know what to do in that direction either#this is hell

Wonder Woman is a character I really like. I'm not even female, so I suppose I don't have the same experiences as some of the people who like her. But William Moulton Marston was a man. And he made her stories very good, with good themes for all. Themes of female empowerment, but also of mythology and space and peace (I still like how I heard he had most of wonder woman's villians get redemption). And one of her villains was a short man with a hatred of women (seriously, doctor psycho is weird but a clever premise).
I really should've read more of his stories, but I always get distracted. Either way, the concepts intrigue me. Like having the planets named after the roman gods actually have people on them tied to their gods. Like having the Martians worship Mars. I love that, and I want it to be more common. Give me a roman inspired martian manhunter. It'd be an interesting new take on things.

Hey do you have any thoughts on the names in tbosas, especially the Capitol students? Like how they have Ancient Greek/roman names. Do you have names you like or don’t like? I just think the way Suzanne Collins names her characters is really interesting and I was wondering your thoughts on it
oh this is such a fun question!
honestly, i LOVE the way suzanne names her characters- especially the capitol’s tendency to go for roman names. i think the capitol’s roman names vs the districts industry-related names really drives home the divide between the two.
(i wish i was one of those very smart fans who could connect the use use of roman names and culture to the capitol and come up with brilliant ideas but alas. i am not.)
and honestly, i’ve seen some people hate how on the nose some of the district names are but i actually enjoy it a lot. i love the names like hy and sol and teslee and mizzen.
my only real complaint is that i would have loved to see district 12 characters have more industry inspired names! i like katniss and peeta well-enough but as someone from appalachia, i think something more on the nose for them as well could have been interesting.
or, alternatively, it would have been interesting to see historically common last names of the area being used rather than names like ‘everdeen’ or ‘mellark’. (but that’s probably just me, and tbf i guess a name like katniss smith wouldn’t sound very good for a dystopian novel.)
sorry, i know you said tbosas and especially capitol students but somehow i keep ending up back at talking about appalachia- oopsie
anyway, what are your thoughts? do you have any names that you really liked or didn’t like?
#thank you so much for the question it’s so interesting to think about naming in the books!!!#also sorry i went on a slightly irrelevant tangent i hope that doesn’t scare you off from asking questions in the future ahahahhaha#asks#i’ve seen people come up with such great connections based on a capitol citizens name and i just#wish i had that kind of brain that could do that#also totally random but i wish annie had a more ocean themed name

I JUST WOKE UP FROM A LOVELY DREAM WHERE ALL OF THE CONTESTANTS WERE BROGUHT BACK TO LIFE AND THE CREDITS TO THE FINALE HAD A MONTAGE IN THE BACKGROUND OF ALL OF THE CHARACTERS BEING HAPPY AND LVIING THEIR LIVES WJDISBWGWOASHDK
#inanimate insanity#They were also human for a majority of the montage for some reason#Also I remember dream me looking for a pointing out my favorite characters when I saw them#I also had another dream where I had asked Test Tube in an ask blog what hers and the other bright light's favorite cupcakes were and she..#...threatened to kill me in the most gruesome way then she went on a random tangent about TT602#But that dream isn't as important

I genuinely cringe SO hard when I see that 16personalities “-A” and “-T” shit. (It’s not even mbti) Like it is a genuine pet peeve. I’m beginning to feel that way about enneagram wings, too, but eh, I feel like wings have more merit. 16p just slapped on a big5 trait onto their glorified big5 test, so now people who don’t know about functions think that the difference between an ENTJ-T and an ENTP-T is one letter. It’s actually, like, A LOT. ENTJ’s use the cognitive functions Te, Ni, Se and Fi. ENTP’s use the cognitive functions Ne, Ti, Fe and Si. Very different. And, like, I don’t wanna go into these people inboxes like “erm ackshully, this this and this” because A) they probably don’t care, and that’s fine. B) they might find it rude, for whatever reason. People don’t like being corrected… I don’t think. C) Ignorantly people who double down just aggravate me more.
It’s not that I don’t see any merit in letter typing. I see where it’s coming from, I just can’t stand 16p, specifically.
#lemons random rants#mbti#myer briggs#myer briggs type#typology#16personalities#typologyblr#I made some typology userboxes a while ago btw. socionics and mbti. and enneagram#the mbti ones kinda suck. socionics are meh. I like the enneagram ones tho#I didn’t use yerich.net at the time so they were kinda amateurish.#I just. I don’t really have anything truly against 16p people because like- we were all there at some point. it’s a canon event#but I just cringe so hard at certain phrases#’I’m an INFJ-T’. ‘last time I took that test I got ISFP-A. I should take it again.’ ‘I’m an intuiter.’#I’m starting to feel that way about enneagram wings too#the people who had the worst takes when it came to typing me were people who used wings…#[I cut a large tangent out of this. but basically they don’t understand subtypes.]#[like the fact half of the people on one post I made said sx6 and the other half said sx9w8. yeah very similar types guys.]#[sarcasm]#someone said 1.#the only good opinions were on a longer post I made where I went into more detail. someone said sx4 someone else said sx6#i feel like a so4 with strong sx4 traits

I fucking love the fact that these two motherfuckers are the literal strongest rpg characters ever
Like Mario and Luigi in the rpg games fucking decimate everything, and you cant even go “oh but they wouldn’t kill” BECAUSE THEY HAVE CANONICALLY KILLED THEIR ENEMIES IN THE RPG GAME
Like it ain’t even a close fight when these two step up and just drop a fucking star on you
and they can dodge/reflect/counter like practically anything too
like they are just too fucking powerful it’s insane
#mario and luigi#rpg character#motherfuckers can even run your pockets WHILE THEYRE ASLEEP#NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING#THEY GET FUCKING STRONGER WHILE THEY ARE ASLEEP#oh god i really just went on a random ass tangent unprompted huh…

Twentysomeodd years later and in an entirely different dimension, Ghost still can't escape the Good Genes arc.
Fun fact about me; Adventures in Turtle Sitting came out when I was 10 and I went selectively mute for an entire week while I waited for the first episode of Good Genes to air I was so upset. I wrote on a whiteboard and told my teachers I had a sore throat. I think they just thought I was Going Through It little did they know it was because of ninja turtles.
Also it has been really funny watching people comment on GitS and being able to tell who's watched '03 and who hasn't. 'Cause I KNEW '03 people would instantly know what's going on and Rise people wouldn't and I LOVE seeing those differences that those two perspectives make.
Like honestly I think you can read GitS without watching '03. You'll just be in the same mindset as the kids, not knowing anything. Whereas if you've seen '03, GitS is like if you knew the future. You all know where this is going. You know what happens when Ghost turns 45.
The question is whether 5 years is enough

"The misadventures of a crocodile, a hawk and a flamingo" snippet
Here featuring a scene set pre-Marineford. Hancock was in need of someone to help her sort out her feelings for Luffy and poor Mihawk just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Enjoy
Mihawk: If we're truly going to discuss feelings, I'm not drunk enough for it yet.
Crocodile: You'll never be drunk enough to talk about feelings. You are allergic to the full spectrum of human emotions.
Mihawk: Then why are you two forcing me to take part to this conversation?
Crocodile: Because I don't want to suffer alone when I'm being subjected to the list of the many astounding qualities of the Strawhat brat of all peopl–
Boa: Because, unlike some heartless bastards I know, I am a normal human and I have feelings. I needed to discuss them with someone. You just happened to be the less disagreeable and nearest someone available.
Mihawk: Lucky me. But I am one of those heartless bastards, so why are you asking me for something as preposterous as sentimental advice?
Boa: Because you are the Strawhat expert here!
(Crocodile burst out laughing, stopping when his foot was ruthlessly stomped on by the narrowed eyed swordman)
Mihawk: One, I knew the other Strawhat, not this brat. This one I met just once when I almost killed his fresh-faced first mate in a duel. It's not the same. Two, I don't know nor want to know anything about his love life/lack thereof. From what I saw this brat has space in that cranial box of his only for food and adventures, not for romance or women. Three, my advice if you really want it is to put those feelings of yours under lock and key in a little box in your brain and then signal to your immune system the need to dispose of it soon. I guarantee that it works.
Crocodile: You have a part of your immune system which is specifically designed to remove feelings from your body at will?
Mihawk: I do.
Crocodile: That explains so much.
Boa: How dare you imply I wish to rid myself of my feelings for Luffy, you unfeeling, heartless–
Mihawk: I was not implying anything, I was stating it. And then, if you knew you wouldn't want to hear my answer, why did you ask me?
Boa: Because you're not a lying hyena like this one here [Crocodile]. Just try to think of something useful. What can I do with Luffy?
Mihawk: He doesn't even know you love him, so why keep losing your dignity over something so juvenile like a crush? You can just cut those feelings out. Please do it. Or ask for a doctor to amputate them for you so we can go back to never think of them again.
Boa: Why did I decide to ask you for advice?
Mihawk: It's what I've been asking you for the last twenty minutes!
#have you ever noticed how Hancock just start fantasizing about Luffy at random times uncaring of who is near enough to hear?#Like poor Smoker in Marineford?#I wanted to imagine what she'd do if someone named Luffy during a Warlords meeting and she went off on a tangent#It was just an excuse to put Mihawk in this situation#one piece#fanfiction#fanfiction snippet#shichibukai#crocodile#mihawk#boa hancock#shanks#luffy

saw a post on here about making friends as an adult and i feel conflicted cuz like, overall i agree that all you have to do is get the courage to show up and get the ball rolling by talking to people/getting their numbers even if it feels cringe or 'wrong' to do so however i can't help but raise my eyebrow at the 'act like they're already your friend' part because some people lean way to into that to the point where they forget we're not actually friends yet which inevitably leads to them saying/doing something that's pretty out of line so like. yes put yourself out there, talk to them and get to know them but please remember that people need to actually like, warm up to each other which could take weeks of speaking to them regularly at minimum
#like. idk maybe i'm getting hung up on semantics#but if someone i barely know calls me their friend or bestie or w/e off the rip it just makes me want to keep a distance from them#bc i don't trust their intentions#i'm kind of an extreme case bc my brain is wired in a way that it takes me like. a year for me to comfortably call someone a friend#but even then i recognize i'm an extreme case and ive warmed up to people in less time than that so it just Depends on the person/situation#thinking about how someone early this year randomly dm'd me asking for help on something and when i said 'yeah sure'#they started going on about how i'm great friend for always helping people out amongst other random positive things which made me go ???#bc i never spoken to them or hung out with them so i had no idea what their basis was for saying that. so their words came off as fake#like they were trying to use flattery to get on my good side or something#externally i was cordial n saying 'thanks' but internally i was like: ?? who are you? why are you talking to me like that?#i've had diff ppl do this to me later on in the year and it never not creeps me out#similar vein ppl i don't know will do that thing where theyre rude in a 'friend way'but it doesn't creep me out so much as it pisses me off#and 9/10 these people always turn out to be not good people to be around so#yap fest over thanks for reading if you got this far.#ik i went on a tangent for a bit but reminder that i think the general advice of putting urself out there is good#i just think people lean too into the over-familiarity sometimes and need to remember to slow down a lil bit#bc before you're close friends with anyone you're still strangers/acquaintances with them first#strike.txt

my 80-something conservative-ish rural white grandpa only has like 5 tv channels and one is fox news. during the early pandemic lockdown, he didnt get radicalized by fox news, he’s actually disgusted by their covid denial and anti-vax promo. i can only imagine its bc my dad (his son) is a more trusted source to him than fox.
anyway, last time i talked to my grandpa i got to talk shit about fox news with him lmao it was great
#he’s not dead or anything i just never visit lol#i just remembered this from like last year though and it was a surprisingly ummmm coherent conversation w my grandpa#he doesn’t have dementia or anything he just goes on tangents about stuff and always has lol#me going oh…… the grandpa i’m related to has always went off on random tangents that confuse those around him?#hmmmmmmmmmmm much to ponder

i wasn't sure if you wanted these back but in case you did! :
Ⅶ If you have multiple blogs and/or muses, which one is your favorite? Why?
✼ When it comes to worldbuilding, what are some ideas you’d like to explore in rp?
honestly, i forgot what this was for, but hey! i'll give it a shot!
If you have multiple blogs and/or muses, which one is your favorite? Why?
jaeho is hands down my favorite muse. the guy is just so easy to write and requires no thinking on my part because he???? doesn't think so much either????? i have a particular writing style with him that sometimes tries and blends itself with my other muses, which makes me struggle A LOT because i have to remind myself that the sarcastic and dry inner monologues he has will not work when writing, say huifen or seungheon. he's also really adaptable when it comes to any scenario, so i can just literally throw him anywhere and he'll thrive. plus, he literally just started off as a janitor and everything else (background, habits, thought process) kinda came and piled on naturally. he basically writes himself????
When it comes to worldbuilding, what are some ideas you’d like to explore in rp?
this is probably gonna make me sound like a terrible writer, but the reason i'm in rp is because i didn't really wanna world build?? i kinda just had ideas for characters and throw them in and had them follow whatever setting of my partners. (as you can tell, i hate thinking sdfskjfsdjf)
but lately, i have been working (on and off) on a multi oc blog that is "supposed" to be heavily crime-based and things like that. (i say "supposed" because i don't like setting things in stone and knowing me, it could turn into anything.) kinda inspired by bungo stray dogs, hakata tonkotsu ramens, etc. and with that, letting me write those types of plots (i.e. assassination, drug heist gone wrong, escaping prison, etc). really just exploring all those themes in general because i definitely usually go for crack-oriented muses with a few normal ones here and there, so definitely a challenge from my usual style!
better yet: let's explore jaeho finally getting what he deserves!
#OOC. ╱ announcements.#bluestboy#i feel like i barely answered the 2nd question and went extremely off tangent BUT what's new????#i also realize this may seem like i hate plotting because i prefer random + spontaneous things#BUT NO I LOVE BOTH OKAY#not saying i'm great at it BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST

It makes some sense I don't like batman, I guess. He was inspired by the pulp heroes of the 30s like The Shadow, and those characters sound awful too. I just went on a binge reading spree on wikipedia about them, and perhaps the only pulp hero i liked was Zorro. The Shadow seems like a boring and generic "master of disguise" detective type. The Spider was a rip-off of The Shadow who apparently regularly killed thousands, all in the name of saving the day. Doc Savage has all the eugenics of something like Captain America's origin, but none of the redeeming qualities. Because Doc Savage also gives criminals memory wipes and lobotomies.
So... Christ. The pulp magazines were full of darkness, violence and eugencics. No wonder batman sucks, with influences like those. At least Zorro defended the poor? He seems like the only good thing to come out of these pulp magazines. But i don't like anything else i saw as i read. So... I think we should leave the pulp characters in the scrap heap of history. There's nothing to salvage from them.

actually I changed my mind the whole next expansion should just be an MMO version of The Bachelor but it’s all the people who want to marry the Commander after 10 yrs of renown and infamy
#I see your ''commander will be depressed and alone now''#and I raise you ''everyone in Tyria loves the Commander and he's now free to create bonds based on basic normal things#and not who is the most capable at killing dragons''#I'm joking because the other perspective is more likely but#my brain went on a random tangent#about how gw2 should do a short joke expansion#and it's just a The Bachelor situation set up by your friends to get you a spouse#because you deserve it and everyone can see the trauma mountain about to collapse on you#but they're all also socially stupid in their own ways so this is the solution#it would be like a 30 min free expansion just complete stupidness#made for me specifically

Have you ever loved a game so much that you become instantly relaxed and uplifted just hearing the UI sound effects?
#video games#sound effect#evoland 2#I’m talking specifically about Evoland 2 here#though I think the first game has the same sound effects#I love that game so much#for my followers who don’t know what I’m talking about basically Evoland 2 is my favorite game#only problem is it’s super underrated and there is like no fandom#and I am starved for content#so I try to shill for the game whenever I can in the hopes I can get other people to play it#problem is I tend to forget it after a day or two and it takes a few months to remember it again#so basically every few months I just suddenly remember and I go “oh right I have to shill for my game!”#I’m thinking of making art for the game so I can attract more attention#I just need to figure out what to draw#a plan was to draw Cookie versions of the characters to draw in my Cookie Run audience#I just need to figure out designs#but I will one day!#sorry I went on a tangent#random stuff
