something i wish i'd see more in trigun fanarts is people having vash speak their native/non-english languages completely unprompted, ive seen folks have him speak french, which he canonically knows, but i really do believe he's a polyglot. mostly because of that one time in the desert when he saw the samurai and wanted to greet him in japanese but struggled to remember how to even say hello.

my headcanon is that rem had them learn as many languages as possible but with the big fall and so many people dying, which i think is what led english to became No man's land main (or even only?) language, means that vash (and knives!) both got horribly out of practice and are various sort of rusty in every others languages.

what im saying if there's any pun or joke you've been dying to write but just doesn't work in english vash (and knives!!) are right there!

"Tim's brothers check on him often to be sure he didn't became evil/insane."

Wrong. Tim is the one checking on every other batfam members to make sure they didn't became evil or insane, because that's always been his role. And also, y'all are really overestimating Tim's "craziness" in comparison to his siblings. He tried to make clones of his friends in his grief, okay. But like, the other shit isn't that more insane than any shit the rest of the Batfam has done or gone through. Even in Red Robin, he is acting very much like Bruce, but Bruce has done crazier shit.

Jean-Paul has done a ton of unhinged shit and being borderline evil (tried to murder Bruce multiple times, Dick and Tim) and Tim was in charge of monitoring him. Dick often switches fast from fine and cool-headed to angry and jumping into a fight, and Tim is often right by trying (and failing) to keep him in check. When Bruce is a fugitive for murder, when Tim tries to explain why he thinks Bruce could have done it, Dick loses his marbles on him, yells at him that he doesn’t deserve to be either his brother or Robin, and has to leave because he was ready to hit that kid (he confesses to Barbara that he wanted to hit Tim). And there are all the time they think Bruce got killed, where Dick jumps to attack like a rabid dog, totally forgetting about the people around and Tim, who has to try to stop him and save the situation. And Tim checking on Bruce. And Tim checking on Jason and Damian is less commun, but it does happen. And Tim not being able to handle Cass too.

That meme of the guy struggling while holding multiple people with leashes? That Tim with the Batfam.

Nobody is thinking Tim is going to become insane, he is the one supposed to stop them from becoming insane.

The Oath an older sister takes is on par with that of a Paladins, and sometimes upheld with the very same ferocity…

looking through the comments on an Instagram post about Alien (1979), ohhh my god no one has any reading comprehension

"Well babies dont crawl out of your chest in childbirth" IT'S CALLED A METAPHOR!! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE 1:1 THE EXACT SAME THING AS CHILDBIRTH!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASEEE LOOK UP TBE DEFINITION OF METAPHOR

"lol you're looking to far into it stupid feminists" THE CREATORS HAVE OUTRIGHT SAID IT'S ABOUT RAPE/FORCED PREGNANCY! THE SEXUAL IMAGERY IS INTENTIONALLY THERE

"women are just soo overdramatic about pregnancy and make everything about them" I AM KILLING YOU I AM BITING YOU AND EXPLODING YOU WITH MY MIND

"we get it you love chapter 45" NO BUT DO U UNDERSTANDDDD MY LOVE

[rossithepixie]

Just told my roommate about the plotpoint where kenjaku tried to give gojo to the US govt as a battery and also convinced them to try and kidnap japanese citizens to also use them for batteries but it was all a ruse for us soldiers to be sent to japan to get killed by curses and used to power whatever the fuck kenjaku was up to and how this was all like a two chapter plot point and no we never talk about it again.

I wish you all could have seen their face. that plot point feels like a fucking fever dream. Am i even remembering it right? No one ever talks about it not even gege.

A quick head cannon of modern au for Newsies

Albert and Finch love to read books!

Albert is a big comic book fan and thanks to @emmedoesntdomath she suggested that Albert would be the type of guy to get that one specific comic that's worth a good chunk of money and I soul hardly agree with that

Finch gives me poetry vibes but more than often he can read anything (not me self projecting) he also vibes with Edgar Poe

They have these nights on every Friday where Albert and Finch just sit and read. It's like their date nights but not at the same time

Sometimes they'll sit together or other times they'll be on opposite sides of the room. They'll have candles going to make it smell like fall and sometimes soft music will be playing

Then one night Race comes in, he totally forgot about their nights and he had a really bad day and nothing is going right. So he walks in already telling Albert about his day but freezes to see Finch with a book of Irish love poems and Albert with his new addition of Spider-Man.

Finch sits with his feet on the coffee table and Albert is leaning on him, they look at Race and Race looks back at them

He's already stuttering an apology but both of the two tell him it's alright. Albert then sets his latest addition down and comes over or give Race and hug because even he has his bad days.

Race goes to leave but Albert stops him asking if he would like to read with them. Race is just dumbfounded "Oh, I don't know Albert, it's your date night"

"Nonsense!" Albert then rushes back to their bookshelf and grab something he'll think Race will like. He comes back and hands Race "Zita The Spacegirl", "Reading always takes my mind off of things. So maybe it could help you!"

Finch laughs at Albert and pats the space next to him on his left and Race tries to leave again muttering some stupid and false excuse but Albert takes his hand and now he's on the couch. It's not like he couldn't read, it was just... hard for him. But he was gonna give it a try since he's here.

And oh boy did he love it.

How could this cute art style wrap around his mind, the story was amazing and the characters were something that Race didn't know he needed in his life.

So now every last Friday of every Month Race joins them. He goes through all of their graphic novels and now he even buys them to share with Albert. ( he now has his own space on the book shelf)

Albert also let's him read his comic books because he know he can trust Race and Finch has showed him Green Glass House and Race was already hooked on page one of this murder mystery.

Albert and Finch didn't mind that Race came bursting through the door that one day, they do enjoy the company and plus they still get their date nights so with another person added they all read together on every last Friday of the month.

Really tired of seeing ftm character fics where it feels as though people link having a pu**y to bottoming :/

[flyingspicerack]

mm...

[rocals]

I didn't expect to go on TikTok and see people arguing over if the moans were Ray's or Frank's they keep saying they are to high pitched to be Ray's I'm loving this tbh

RAY LITERALLY HAS A HIGHER PITCHED VOICE THAN FRANK?? LIKE??

Not to put a fine point on it, but you are in fact looking for the summary. The thing that should be on the inside cover or the hardback or the back of the paperback.

"I want to know what ___ is about" go read the summary and find out!

[quadrantbreaker]

lots to eroticize about the body but everyone focuses so much on flesh (meat) and blood and guts . i get it but like what about bones . bones and flesh are like siblings more specifically cain and abel core

I am British, and have only spoken British English my whole life and yet at 28 I have only just realised why a fortnight is called a fortnight

It's a contraction

Fourteen nights... Fourt- nights... Fortnight 🙄🙈🤦‍♀️

Tagging onto this cause thats a really good point. Even if you dont see Ford as on the autism spectrum (wich I personally cant understand why you wouldnt but its not officially canon so w/e), ford IS starved of affection and attention.

This man has had basically nothing but failed relationships and conditional love. As unreliable of a narrator Bill can be, I do believe he wasnt lying when he said Ford was "Half a genius and half an 18 year old" who constantly needs outside praise.

"Normal person" so somone without truama? Somone neurotypical? Or just somone with the hindsight of having already SEEN the show, and yet still doesnt understand the dynamics.

"A normal person never would have fallen for Bill's manipulation"

Can this fandom stop victim blaming Ford for FIVE SECONDS?!?!?!
