you ever notice how many similarities there are between jinx and jason todd:

- orphaned + raised in infamously fucked up city

- underlying violence/anger at young age, never properly redirected by guardian

- bomb trauma + imagery

- involved in gangs/drug-dealing

- bazooka moment

- “came back wrong” trope, revived by mysterious neon liquid (shimmer/lazarus pit)

- forgives initial betrayal (abandoning jinx/not saving jason), but is truly betrayed by the aftermath (befriending an enforcer/letting the joker live)

- final act family reunion made into a performance with unwilling audience (caitlyn/joker kidnapped + bound + held at gunpoint)

- feels replaced by family (caitlyn, tim)

- forces family to make symbolic choice: “it’s them or me”

- when family is unable to choose, reunion ends in an explosion

DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN god hold on this needs to be rb’d with a side-by-side comparison

So far, Under the Knife 2 feels like a massive improvement over UtK1, mainly by how good it feels to chase high ranks. Not only does it make it easy to jump right back into the level you just finished to get a better score, it also tells you what special bonuses are in each level instead of it just being a seemingly-random mystery score (it only tells you when you actually get them, but still better that UtK1).

But also, I was getting such high ranks so easily that I decided to go back to UtK1 to see if it was harder or if I just got more skilled, and it turns out that UtK1's rank thresholds are just kind of awful. The reason I was getting C-ranks on everything is because there's a pretty small gap between C-rank and S-rank. Missing just one special bonus can turn an S-rank run into a C-rank, so you'll pretty much always get a C-rank unless you're really good.

UtK2 is far more reasonable with handing out B- and A-ranks, so rather than C-rank meaning "you did less than excellent" it means "you did bad". So when I'm going through the game getting As and Bs, and then on one level I get a C? I'm so much more motivated to say "screw that" and try again.

I do think the surfer might be one of the overall best vampire weekend songs ever. I do. Like, objectively. Like if I were to pretend I don't know any of their music and I listened to each album they've put out and ranked all of those songs, the surfer would be a top 10, easily.

I see people on tumblr and reddit overwhelmingly think that Tattoo is mediocre and overhyped and I’m like “but if every person I see says it’s mediocre and overhyped, how is it overhyped??” but then I watch youtube ranking videos and like all of them put Tattoo first and I’m like “ok, fair”

the SAT was literally harder than the practice tests my princeton review textbook gave me and i didn't finish all the math questions which means i'm not getting a perfect 800 on it the way i did in the practice tests. literally i spent 80 dollars on this test (60 just to take it and 20 for the review book) so if my score only goes up by like 20 to 30ish points (if i get lucky) or it fucking goes down (more likely) then literally it was such a fucking waste

Remember how I said I couldn't stop thinking about Ghouls? yeah LOL. Anyways, I finally finished my "Ghoul Guide" which is a comic featuring made up lore about summoning nameless ghouls as well as things about them and their roles!

this by no means is comprehensive of everything I've made up for them, but I'm testing the waters with this comic! if it gets enough love I'll make an additional comic about ghoul origins, element types, and maybe even design non-assigned ghoul outfits for each era costume hehe.

ID in ALT text! transcript for comic text under the cut!

Transcript is numbered for each page the text is for!

A rite of passage for becoming “Papa”, It starts with a will and your judgement

A specialized chamber is necessary, 1) to avoid interference 2) to prevent escape.

After all; feral ghouls are raw elements, And to survive, one must tame them.

Each element has a diversity of strengths and rarity / and the first ghoul summoned sets precedent for how a leader is perceived.

Additionally, the first is the personal servant and an important assistant for life; Often times assistance is needed for future summoning, but a limit of 2 maintains respect to show you’re still capable.

However, they must accept you- you must earn their respect, and they only choose if willing. And they are not always willing.

One must be prepared to face Hell itself. To prove one is worthy to take the stage, controlling the devil’s magic is key.

It’s important to roll the dice and summon a variety, but one may only tame as many as the power of their sin allows, which, naturally, varies.

And while they’re loyal as determined by one’s rank… / Remember: The ministry comes first.

Ghoul records broken by copia.

Record: Most ghouls summoned at one time: 8 (10 including past members), Record: Most obedient first summon (for an amateur).

Record: Most powerful summons (2 S-Class ghouls); All consuming Hell Fire (AKA: “Sodo” or “Dew”); Hurricane From Hades (AKA: “Cumulus”); Record: Most elemental offshoots summoned (3). Offshoots of (then lists the symbols for quintessence and fire).

Personal Guard, And of course: Performing.

Milf Reader X Simon is good

But HIGH MILITARY RANK MILF READER X Simon is devastating

High military rank milf reader save me.....

In general, I think Simon would absolutely adore an older woman, but pair that up with someone who has her shit together and has more power than him?

Simon would be head over heels the first time he saw you in your formal uniform after months of working together. It wasn't anything special, simply a fitted pair of pants and an expensive blazer decorated with the colorful chest candy you've earned throughout the years, a new addition from your latest mission together.

God, I can't stop thinking about how much he'd stare when he sees you carrying your daughter, spunky little thing who definitely got her personality from you. She's not shy to point out to the man staring at you, making you look at Simon with a raised eyebrow before you introduce both of them, leaving them alone the moment you get an emergency call.

Poor Simon would be interrogated by a tiny 10 year-old about who he is and his relationship with you, looking at him with pure doubt before he wins her over by telling her some of his awful jokes that kids always seem to love.

Sweet angel would be his wingwoman without him even knowing. She just wants to see her mum happy again, and the man with the skull mask is funny and nice to both of you :((

Björk - Army of Me 1995

"Army of Me" is an aggressive industrial rock and trip hop song with elements of techno dominated by a heavy bassline in C Locrian; a mode used more sparsely throughout history due to its perceived dissonance and instability. The song's drum part is sampled from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks". It was released as the lead single from Icelandic musician Björk's second studio album, Post (1995). The song was written and produced by Björk and Graham Massey, who helped her in producing and writing the majority of her third album.

Lyrically, the song was inspired by the damaging behavior of Björk's brother, and in the lyrics she tells him to stand up to regain control of his life. It was well received by music critics, who noted its darkness compared to her other material. "Army of Me" was a commercial success, and her first single to enter the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. Björk premiered the song on some gigs during the Debut tour before the release of Post. She performed it in a series of TV appearances, and notably, for the first time on Top of the Pops with Skunk Anansie.

"Army of Me" won an Icelandic Music Award for Song of the Year. The song was also ranked number 316 in Blender magazine's "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born". In 2012, the song was ranked number 71 in Consequence of Sound's "Top 100 Songs Ever". The video was nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards, one for Best Special Effects in a Video and one for International Viewer's Choice Awards – MTV Europe. A remix by Skunk Anansie was featured in the 2011 film Sucker Punch, and it goes HARDDD. Listen to it here!

"Army of Me" received a total of 63,6% yes votes!
