He'll Get Into It, by Sakano Chitose.

Scanned by parasitoidism. My translation. Disclaimer: I'm still learning the language.

I love the read everyone in this book has on Cielo so far. He's absolutely the kind of person who'd insist on playing up the level ups and found item events for fun.

“Journalist Haneen Harara captured this moment in a medical tent within a Rafah displacement camp, interviewing a woman on the verge of giving birth. Amidst the uncertainty and suddenness of her situation, without even a change of clothes or the comfort of her family—who are at the European hospital—she finds herself in a vulnerable state. Her only companions are her cousin and his wife, offering a glimmer of support in this critical moment. The woman shares her decision to name her baby Riya." from Translating Falasteen, 14/Mar/2024:

Just like any person who is sane about both Cult of the Lamb and linguistics would do, I responded to the massive monster lofi stream by using my day to turn all the random symbol's in Lamb's notebook into an alphabet for a language of the Old Gods, complete with phonology, grammar, and enough vocabulary to translate the Bee Movie intro and transcribe it onto a commandment stone. Exact translation of the text:

The edicts of flight state that a bee should not fly. Its inferior small wings cannot lift its inferior fat body. Honorably, the bee flies regardless. Why? Bees care not for our edicts.

It's pronounced: Tiirutyi ibri yatru ubribati nachyriapruip chyira yiwyuiba yitu ikri. Yitutiirua shrichyi lutlat trulru naishraubu ti pyichyi nachrik’ubu. Wratrarupru, tiichyira yiwyuiba usyapru. Riya lut? Yitutiit’ruchri yiwyuiba tuprat naubribati.

Already read the translation. Hopefully you can too because it's hilarious!

agreed, the three of them (and Jake as well) should be friends. although, i don't know if Drew really has any bullshit for Dan to put up with? he seems like a pretty chill guy. really, it's more Dan and Drew having to try to talk Tom out of whatever trouble he's gotten into now, yet Tom still following his heart and making mistakes constantly.

i'm also going to combine some more of the tweet asks below the cut!

This is actually pretty cute ngl. (saying as someone who doesn't particularly care for aleriya either way (though I can see the appeal/aesthetic))

ooh, they look good in red! maybe it should've been the red team instead of the yellow team. well, then we'd have to put Grett and Yul in red as well. maybe not.

this artist did a great job of capturing all of the detail in the costumes, and i like the kinda painterly brush they used. even though i don't ship aleriya either, they totally look like they'd be the romantic leads of a kids' picture book.

Aww~ :)

stop staring at me with them big ol' eyes-- (/j)

very cute! i like the color palette. sucks that this baby already has to wear glasses, though. imagine your eyesight being so terrible that you have to wear glasses before you can even read.

(or, maybe they're Cheryll's glasses. that would be precious.)

Love the redraw! :)

Aiden looks so over it, lol. as if you wouldn't be doing the exact same thing if James was out there doing cartwheels.

the artist did a good job reinterpreting the pose with the more realistic proportions of their style. maybe i should try doing some Disventure Camp pose redraws someday; that could be fun. although, i'd wager that the next DC thing that i draw will probably relate to season 4, though i can't say that for sure.

AWWWW!!!! X3 Really hoping that we get, at the very least a 5 second cameo of Drew in TomJake, since they all live in Canada. I need it. I miss my baby. He was gone too soon. ;-; I won't lie, I personally do not care for Jake and Tom getting a spinoff story, AT ALL. But I might end up watching it anyway, for the extra lore. And who knows, if it gets enough views and does well enough in the community, it *might* convince Jared and Robert to make spinoffs for other characters. Like Drew. Or Ashley. Or Alec (which is what I'm hoping most for if you could n't already tell).

the pose sort of reminds me of a polaroid that they would show in the credits of the movie to reassure that everyone is having a great time after the plot is over. actually, i guess it has similar vibes to the canon instagram post of Ellie and Tess graduating, so maybe that's where i got that idea, lol.

including Drew as a background gag would honestly be a brilliant idea. like, Jake runs off somewhere, and in the background, there's just Drew holding up a piece of paper that says "???". i have no clue where in Canada Drew and Tom/Jake/Miriam live-- the country is quite large, so it could be an equivalent distance to Ashley living in Texas and Ellie/Tess living in New York-- but given that Ellie will be in the series, someone is travelling somewhere! so it's definitely possible.

i'm pretty neutral on the TomJake series, mostly because i don't know what it's going to be about. in a best case scenario, it's a delayed wrap-up to All Stars, further exploring some of the plot threads that weren't fully developed leading up to and after Riya's win. in a worst case scenario, it's a disjointed collection of mildly confusing fanservice, a la "Derek and Trevor accidentally kiss in the shower." (i actually liked that episode as a whole, but man was that moment in particular cringe.) i'm definitely going to watch it just so that i know what's up, but i do feel like they probably could have better used this time elsewhere (more staff stories, official season epilogue, start s4 faster).

but, Sapphire, if they did an Ashley, Drew, or Alec spinoff, how would they lure people in by putting gay people in the thumbnail??? (/s) mostly kidding, but i'm sure it is true that they were willing to bank on a TomJake series because they knew that those popular characters would get the clicks. if we got another spinoff, it'd probably be jaiden-centric, lmao.

of course, Ashley and especially Alec are also pretty popular, so it's not outside of the realm of possibility! an Alec series would definitely good, to clarify his relationship with Fiore, learn a bit more about his family, and perhaps touch on what Riya's up to after the show. an Ashley show i fear would lack any conflict (because she slays at life so hard), but maybe we could learn a bit about her family too.

They would make a neat duo ngl. If Dan ever made it to All-Stars that is. 😅 I actually remember one Ally greeting where she said she thought Dan was a pretty cool/nice guy and how unfair it was the way Gabby cheated him in eliminations, or something along those lines. I can try to find it later.

oh, these two could definitely make a nerd alliance. throw in Alec and Lake and you'll have brains that brawn and beauty should definitely watch out for.

are Ally, Dan, and Alec the only (main) characters thus far to wear glasses? oh, i guess there's Oliver too. typecast fr.

Enjoy this random art of Lill leading a family of ducks

so cute!!!!! i love the ducks' little hats and scarves. the purple team deserved an animal mascot. i bet Ashley would love to pet these little guys as well :)

Add Dan, Drew & Tess and this book club is complete! 😁

"Disventure HS" intrigues me. is this an AU where they're all students in high school? even if Alec was a senior and Fiore was a freshman, having them that close in age would be cursed as hell. hopefully Alec is just the literal librarian. maybe it's "bring your niece figure to work day".

Ellie/Alec/Fiore/Lake/Dan/Drew/Tess would be a really interesting tribe to start with. i wonder who would get voted out first?

Hm. Interesting chart. The one I agree most with is that I definitely would've liked to see an interaction between Tess and Alec. Those two do have quite a few things in common (quiet, reserved/introverted, level headed, fairly intelligent, logical, lone wolves who like to read, etc.) so I'm sure they would've clicked well with each other. Eh, who knows? Maybe there was some interaction at the motel off camera. Though that is mostly just wishful thinking, since I highly doubt either of them would ever see a reason to talk to the other with how little they know about each other, being from separate seasons and all.

yeah, and Alec was in the Motel for a pretty short amount of time (2 episodes, maybe like 5 days). canonically, he probably spent a lot of that time talking to Fiore and then Connor. Perhaps Ellie and Grett as well.

god knows Alec could use a therapist friend, though. maybe if people started following each other online, they could wind up chatting with each other then! or, i'm sure Alec would read Lake's book someday, so he could at least see her illustrations then.

i think you can probably guess which box i agree with most. (it's the favorite friendship one)

thanks for sharing all of these tweets with me!

Disventure Camp All Stars Episode 17

Looking writing a complicated process. I know this but ... like come on. Like I'm not trying to be dismissive, toxic, or giving into the heated feelings. But man this episode is bring out those feelings of hate. So please give me a moment to just let it all out and VENT.

Elimination: Grett

WHAT THE FUCKING POINT OF HER OUT MANEUVERING ALEC AND ELIMINATING ONE OF THE STRONGEST COMPETITORS IN THE GAME. IF WE ARE JUST GOING TO ELIMINATE HER NEXT EPISODE. To translate this into wrestling comparison. Grett was Miz cashing in on Drew McIntyre to become the WWE Champion only to get fed to Bobby Lashley. IT DOES NOTHING FOR THE TRANSITIONAL CHAMPION BESIDES MAKING THEM LOOKING LIKE A LOSER!!! IT ALSO MAKES THE WRITERS LOOK BAD FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SWAP CONTROL OF THE GAME FROM THE CURRENT "CHAMP" TO THE REAL "CHAMP" YOU'RE PUSHING. SO YOU HAVE TO SAC A CHARACTER TO DO THIS. For what may I ask?! The relationship that NONE OF US GIVE A SHIT ABOUT! Jake: Fuck it, EARLY GAME MEANS NOTHING

Conner: Character Progression, NO, regressing back to pre breakup because fuck it, we got to continue the FEUD, RANDY ORTON GOT TO BE CHAMPION DANIEL BRYAN SORRY! Ally: I'm sorry Grett, nah FUCK YOU. You are a flipper and just embrace it. YOU ARE NOT HERO, ACT LIKE A VILLAIN!

Riya: Fuck it, RIYA IS THE JOHN CENA v. RANDY ORTON ENDLESS FEUD THAT WOULD NEVER END! Oh now she feels bad about it, fuck you, how about you go fuck yourself. She didn't feel bad about try to kill someone but since it Conner she feels bad, SCREW YOU! Sorry I had to get the heat out, I not saying the writers are bad. But man this episode did not work for me.

[taegularities]

heyyy rid ....mujhe abhi pata chala kya chal raha hai south korea mai

its like disgusting ....i feel like u have a huge crowd at this platform so more people will get aware of it

recently SK ki females internationally help mang rahi thi ki unke liye stand up kare log cuz wahn ke chat rooms nikal ke aye hai which is on telegram uspe wahn ke males chat group mai deepfakes share karte the apne family , workplace , coworkers, school kids and teens , especially family ....nd jab ye baat bahar nikal kar ayi toh ispe uss tym jada action liya hi nhi gya cuz wahn ki government isee important nhi smjhti they let it go like something very normal

unki chays ke jab SS reveal hue toh bht hi diagusting baatein nikali like females ko bht hi zada rights diye hue hai in translation if i say uska matlab ye tha ki bht udd rahi hai ladkiyan niche rehna chahiye like that

aur ye sab sexual harrasment toh hai hi but ye sab females ko nicha ya inferior samjhna jaissa tha nd ofc humiliation ... jispe based unke chat room ka naam bhi hai

after all this first the kolkata case jiska mai reason same inferior dekhna tha uske baad bhi bht cases aye the then abb ye .... aisa lagta hai ki humanity khatam si hoti ja rahi hai

dosri taraf taliban mai jane kya kya restricyion laga diye hai ki bare face bahar nhi nikalna hands nhi dikhne chahiye koi sound nhi nikalni chahiye

uske baad recently ek rape culprit joki US se hai mujhe confirm nhi kahan se hai but hai west ka hi usne bhi bht hi henious crime kiya tha aur 28urs jail ke baad woh bahar aagya hai aur khula ghoom rha like no restrictions over him

ab baat countries par rahi hi nahi hai ye world pe aagyi hai WE ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE except agr hum apne mummy papa se chipak kar rahe toh shyd safe ho

idk bht bura lag raha hai kya ho rha hai duniya mai kabhi kabhi aisa lagta hai ki ab kuch matter bhi karta hai ya nhi life mai but fir sab bhulne ki koshish karti hu ...bht mushkil se toh mai kolkata wale case se dimag hataya tha lekin ab ye sab hine laga 🥲🥲🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

aorry for such a long rant but bht tym se ye sab mere andhar bhara hua hai

kasam se waise bhi mai kisi relation mai nhi ayi abhi tak aur ab toh shyd sawal hi nhi uthta hai

but again i think lets not lose hope abhi tym hai shyd kuch thik hojaye

i'm going to answer in english bc i feel like this could be of concern for everybody. so the ask basically talks about the different occurrences of SA of women all over the world, including but not limited to the south korea deepfake porn scandal or the absolutely devastating kolkata doctor rape-murder case. i've heard of most of these and i had the same thoughts as you, riya… it's saddening and terrifying that women are seen as something inferior, like a stray dog that they can treat however they like. i feel like the world had gotten better for a while and now its morals are dropping again.

it's scary as a woman, it's scary to go out, to fall in love, to marry, to dress a certain way for joy, to even go to work. i'm not surprised that these korean women won't marry or date men anymore, bc even i, in a modern central european country, am horrified and so freaking scared that i might fall into a guy's trap and end up in a terrible relationship.

i get your fears, my love. i've cried so many times about this now… i'm so sorry you feel that way, too. all we can do is hold onto hope and believe that things will get better, that we will get justice, that men will be educated too, and that we can live a life with somebody who cherishes us and shows us that not everybody is inherently bad. you can vent here anytime. we're all here for you 🫂

[zindagi-se-darte-ho]

hello!

{very humble request to explain zindagi se darte ho... I for some reason have been very intrigued by that poem although I dont fully understand it..i dont speak urdu :( }

ps: love your blog and do explain only if you have the time

i've undertaken this after about a year of putting it off. here you go

Zindagi se darte ho! Zindagi to tum bhi ho, Zindagi to hum bhi hain. Zindagi se darte ho? Aadmi se darte ho? Aadmi to tum bhi ho, Aadmi to hum bhi hain. Aadmi zabaan bhi hai, Aadmi bayaan bhi hai. Us se tum nahi darte!

You are afraid of life! You are life as well, Just as we are life. Are you afraid of life? Are you afraid of Man? You are Man too, Just as we are Man. Man forms the physical entity of language Just as he forms the spiritual entity of the narration as well You are not afraid of him!

Harf aur maani ke rishta-haa-e-aahan se Aadmi hai waabasta Aadmi ke daaman se zindagi hai waabasta Us se tum nahi darte.

Man is bound by the thread That holds togehter, in an iron bond, The letters of language and the words formed in it. Life is inseparably tied to the robes of Man. But, you are not afraid of it

Ankahi se darte ho. Jo abhi nahi aayi, Us ghari ki aamad ki, Aagahi se darte ho.

You are afriad of the 'unsaid'. The hour that has not arrived yet, you are afraid of it. The relisation of it's inevitable arrival haunts you.

Pehle bhi to guzre hain Daur na rassai ke Be-riya khudaai ke Phir bhi yeh samajhte ho Hech aarzumandi Yeh shab e zubaan bandi hai Hai rah e khudaawandi

Times as such have passed before Of freedom's remoteness, Of selfless god-hood. Yet you believe that it's futile to hope, That, these toungue-tied nights lead to divinity.

Tum magar yeh kya jano, Labb agar nahi hilte, Haath jaag uthte hain! Haath jaag uthte hain, Raah ka nishaan bann kar, Noor ki zabaan bann kar! Haath bol uthte hain, Subh ki azaan ban kar!

How would you even realise that, When lips don't move to form words, Hands rise above! Hands stir up as a sign of hope, Speaking the words of light! Hands rise up to announce the end of night!

Roshni se darte ho Roshni to tum bhi ho Roshni to hum bhi hain Tum abhi se darte ho

Are you afraid of the light? You are (made of) light as well, Just as we are (made of) light. You are afraid of the light!

Shehr ki fasilon par Dev kar jo sayaa tha Paak ho gayaa ahir Raat ka labadaa bhi Chaak ho gaya akhir Khaak ho gaya akhir

The walled bounds of the city Have been cleansed of the evil That lurked on it. Night's robe has torn away, Slipped away to ashes.

Izhdaham-e-insaan se fard ki navaa ayi Zaat ki sadaa ayi Rah-e-shauq mein jaise rah-rau ka khoon lapke Ik nayaa junoon lapke!

From the Ocean of Humanity, an individual couplet rose. Forthwith, million voices rose. Just as a traveller's blood leaps, While on his path of hope, A new passion leaps!

Aadmi chhalak uthe Aadmi hanse dekho Shehr phir basey dekho Tum abhi se darte ho? Haan, abhi toh tum bhi ho Haan abhi toh hum bhi hain Tum abhi se darte ho.

Man brims, full of life Look, how he laughs! Look, how cities come alive. Are you afraid of 'today'? Yes, you are the 'present' as well, Yes, just as I am the 'present'. You are afraid of today, the present.

spent an hour on this translation. not my best, i am no trained professional. but here it is, with all my love.

[quackle]

So what’s your final opinion of Disventure Camp All-Star now that it comes to a end?

Also regarding winner, you are right! They didn’t go with “Who deserved to win” and tons of fans are piss off.

and so we have made it to the end. dcas is officially over... sobbing a lil at that fact. now. finale rambles under the cut (tldr: 7/10 season):

i think dcas was pretty nice for what it gave. i know a lot of people think it's shit, and i do nod my head at most concerns i've seen through posts on here and elsewhere. but idk. i had a relatively good time these past couple of months while watching!

let's start with...

Things I Liked:

The Main Premise (and in extension, Riya's Story) — this season showed that it truly wasn't about who deserved to win, it was about who wanted it most. and riya wanted it badly, to the point where it changed her for the worst whenever a camera was around. it took me until ally's elimination to see the direction this season was going (so... basically near the end LOL), but once it clicked, i was like. wowie. this is a bold choice of a winner. and interesting as fuckkkk, despite it not being hinted at as much as i hoped it would near the beginning. i don't think i've ever seen someone who is deemed as a villain be the only winner of a show like this. no alt endings or anything, just a villain win that sort of translates into a loss when you really think about how nobody is in riya's corner anymore. i know people (mostly riya fans) were disappointed with how sad and slightly open ended riya's conclusion arc was, but i personally can't be that upset at it. rosa maria's message during her elimination in season 2 really hit here. riya let the game change her, and though she won three million dollars, she has absolutely nobody (except potentially her sister eesha, but even still, that's not the best way for things to end for her). tis the way the cookie crumbles. i'm glad the writing team decided to go with this instead of the jake ending like thank GOODNESS for the proofreaders omg this is what proofreaders are for!!! (also. i'm clearly biased to the 'faking in front of cameras/others just to become a realer version of oneself once that's tested' characters in particular. look at my icon rn. i think you can understand why i'm such a big fan of this)

Allyson Amber— obligatory ally mention LOL. i think i already rambled enough on why i love ally so so so much as a character, so i will avoid. today. just know that opinion still stands.

Voice Acting— i am not a voice actor, just a voice actor enthusiast, so idk how much my words truly mean here. but i absolutely loveeeee the vocal direction this season went. best vocal performance in the whole series thus far. i can tell each actor + anybody on the voicing team worked hard to deliver! each character's voice really fit and everyone is so talented. hashtag i love connecting voices to characters. i'm excited for s4 voices ahhhh <3

The Grett + Gabby Friendship— we had her for like a good two eps and it still solo'd. going from what had happened in season 1 to what happened in season 3 was chef's kiss. it showed that both grett and gabby grew as characters throughout their whole journey on dc. idk i just love their bond so much, hashtag thank you for adding that.

and now...

Things I have Mixed Feelings About:

Gabby and Ally's Elimination— am i that mad that they ultimately left? eh not really, especially after i learned what type of story onc was aiming to tell this season. but am i mad about how they left? absolutely. because it was bullshitttttt omg. last minute, out of nowhere changes that cause eliminations of characters will never fail to piss me off. personally. even if real life is unfair like this too. (i'm only human LOL let me live)

TomJake Plot-Line— the good news (?) is that i don't find it absolutely mind-numbingly awful anymore. jake's cool. tom's okay. so overall, now i just think the plot is thee definition of mid. improvement! but still mid! i think certain ships in media are not for me, and this is one of em. sorry tomjakers, they should have had a meaningful conversation a long ass time ago. (also why tf they the finale thumbnail like MOVEEEEE with yall yaoi moment /lh)

Connor's Marriage— not that big of a deal, props to connor for finallyyyyyyy retiring from his savior complex (like i genuinely clapped for him cause that was a LONGGGGGG time coming), but a record scratch DID go off in my head when i saw that lol wedding pic. like OH... okay! congrats? i guess? (idek why i had this reaction or why i'm even writing about it lol, connor is Just Okay to me so)

Certain Lack of Character Interactions— i know this is a parody of reality TV and the show can only do so much, especially for characters that got eliminated early on. and i know i can quite literally go on something like ao3 and either find some fic that caters to my tastes or create it myself. but i frowned a lil when i realized certain characters wouldn't talk that much canonically. the curse of an all stars season is that they're bringing back some of the best characters this series has to offer. so when i don't get to see them interact, i go "aww. fair. but aww." (biggest examples here would be grett and hunter during the returnee challenge (because they can serve as interesting parallels (why would they finally make me gaf about hunter just to make him have like 30 seconds of lines ugh onc i am GLARING)), and jake and tess in general (the slightly healed meets the destructive work in progress. the difference in mental health journeys and how they can reflect within gameplay + outside convos. we coulda squeezed a lil somethin here. for me.))

Ellie's Plot-Line— one of the main reasons why i found ellie so compelling as a character is because the choices she made, both good and bad, all connected with her need for money due to being a college student who's not that well off. so to see that written off at the end was... well. eh? like cool, she's got gabby and grett, and they do matter the most, and i loveeeee their bond, but like. girly is a student in nyc and losing all that money is fucking huge. (i think it's mostly the bad pacing here, so i'm not giving it too much critique)

Grett's Plot-Line— onc introduced that whole tree scene (one of my fav scenes btw), and i thought that was so inspiring. "oh my gosh, i can't wait to see grett shine after she was constantly disrespected by some fucker that should have gotten his ass beat a long ass time ago!" i exclaimed. and then, she was eliminated. look. i get the whole premise of this season. i like it, too. so even though i think grett deserved to win the most, i can understand why the writers didn't have her win. BUT i think they should have written her arc with way more care and attention. if anything, i remember more harmful moments than good. grett deserved better than that. to me.

Huntally Plot-Line— i like huntally. and i wish it was written a bit better. it felt... rushed in comparison to other things we've seen here. granted, they couldn't do as much as others when hunter was eliminated so quickly, but still. meh overall.

and finally...

Things I Didn't Like:

The Staffs' Plot-Line— yall. the way i grew to not give a singular fuck about this plot... i saw people complain about tomjake screen time or jake screentime or ally vs jake screentime or connor vs riya screentime or riya screentime. which, okay whatever i guess. but LOOK AT THE REAL CULPRITS HERE... they're already getting a spinoff, idgaf about some staff when i won't be able to see some of the contestants ever again after this season!!! trevek irritated the absolute hell outta me, kristal made me side eye, marcus, nina and oliver were there i guess, and emily? man. i think that alone needs another bullet point hold on-

Emily's Plot-line (if you can even call it that)— yes, yes, i already know, emily was terrible, this was shown in the very first ep, she was never supposed to be rooted for, blahblahblah. but why. why did she decide to help yul. why did she decide to help trevor. why is she helping men so much. why did she turn so cartoonishly evil in the end. why is she like that. it's so uncanny to me. it just feels like she's more of a plot device that she is a character, which makes her fall so fucking flat. it blows. to me.

The Therapist Characters— ashley and tess are the biggest examples of this. not to say that friends irl don't ask this question, but fuck, did i get tired of hearing "are you ok?" or "what's wrong?" or "here let me give you some advive." it feels like such a reduction of their characters, which really sucks considering they didn't get much characterization in comparison to other characters in the first place.

"Be the Bigger Person, Ally"— okay. the more i think about this the more it pisses me off. this is a quote from episode 18, where connor tells ally to be the bigger person in her whole situation with jake. now riddle me this, chat. why is it that connor only tells ally to be the bigger person, then a few minutes later when talking to jake, he goes "oh there's only so much i can accomplish with jake" in the confessional? you didn't even reiterate the same words old man. that makes it seem like ally should do more and adjust what she deems as okay and not okay, just so her tension with jake can dwindle, while jake gets a sigh and a slap on the wrist and a "welp i tried." despite her more immature reactions later on during this plot, ally had every right to be bitter toward someone who kept snapping at her and giving her attitude because no good communication was being used to explain why he kept doing that. instead, i wish the message could have been something like "communicate, then try to insert yourself in their shoes so you can understand each other better because you're more alike than you think" to BOTH ally and jake, because this conflict involves BOTH of them, and needs to be worked on by BOTH of them, not just by one damn party. (i could dive into shit like the sexism connotations of the message "be the bigger person" only being directed to the female character here, but ehhhh, not today + people would think i'm overreacting when i know i'm not)

Yul— look, even if i put the whole slur slinging slanger incident that occurred to the side, i still was not a fan of how yul was portrayed here for that long. idgaf if he's sometimes funny. it just made me feel uncomfy seeing such a disrespectful piece of shit get this far with a burn to the face that didn't even stay permanently. like oh so emily can be in bandages for "a year or two," but bigot mcgee here gets off burn free? okay. don't piss me off. and yes, i understand his sponsorship ending where he's still acting fake because "it doesn't matter to him whether he's liked or not," and i know he serves as an okay parallel to james at best. but personallyyyyy if we were going with the whole "yul is the worst type of famous person imaginable" angle, you could have at least made the consequences of his actions stick to his face forevermore. (that's like the only thing they got right with endeavor from my hero like come on)

and that's about it. i think. overall, i'd give this season a solid 7. i know it looks like there's more stuff i didn't like or felt indifferent about,but i just feel like i have to explain my distastes a little more so people can understand me pfft. but yeah, it's not too bad of a season, even if i side eye some things.

and i'm looking forward to season four! from what i've seen, from the short character dialogues in the voice acting tryouts (ruby save me), to the potential storyboarded scene of the setting (abandoned carnival vibes???), i am most certainly sat. i really hope onc improves from here on out :)

Title: Buwan ng Wika '18

🇵🇭 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵⭐⭐ Filipino/Tagalog ⭐☀️ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🇵🇭

Heto na naman sa pangalawang pagkakataon na ginawa ko ito para sa "Buwan ng Wika"!

Nang bihisan ni Rita Speedster ang kanyang Philippine Terno at isa ring guro ng Filipino 🐶🚺👩‍🏫 (oo, magaling siya sa asignaturang Filipino bago niya pinagkadalubhasaan ang Ingles) na natututo at nagtuturo sa kanyang mga anak (si Spot 🐶🏎️ at si Riya 🐰🏎️), sina MuruKir 🔵⭐ at Cude 🐰🤖, na magsalita at makipag-usap nang maayos gamit ang kanilang sariling wika sa bansa.

Mas gusto ko ang isang whiteboard, isang puting marker na ginamit ni Rita, at mga kulay upang makita nang perpekto sa halip na isang tradisyonal na klasikong pisara. Sa Ingles na isinalin na nakasulat gamit ang aking point sign pen → Ipagdiwang natin ang "Buwan ng Wika"! 🇵🇭📖😄

🇺🇸 🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦 English 🟥⬜🟥⬜🟥 🇺🇸

Here yet again the second time I made it for Philippine "Language Month"!

When Rita Speedster dressed up her Philippine Terno and also a Filipino teacher 🐶🚺👩‍🏫 (yes, she was good at Filipino subject before she mastered English) who learns and teaches her kids (Spot 🐶🏎️ & Riya 🐰🏎️), MuruKir 🔵⭐ and Cude 🐰🤖, to speak and communicate properly using their own language country.

I prefer a whiteboard, a white marker that Rita used, and colors to see perfectly instead of a traditional classic chalkboard. With the English translated written with my point sign pen → Let's celebrate the Philippine "Language Month"! 🇵🇭📖😄

BTW: Bonn Speedster 🐰🚹 was absent, at the time. Owing to busy night competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. 🏁🚘🛣️🇫🇷

🇵🇭: Maligayang Buwan ng Wika, Pilipinas! 😄😁 🇺🇸: Happy Philippine Language Month! 😄😁

Two Guys Revising at The Back* by Hayase Reku.

*I don't feel confident in this at all. The original is basically "Two Tarous at the back of the line revising." Tarou is a really stereotypical name; it's like the Japanese version of John Smith or something. You need a hypothetical guy, he's Tarou. According to what I found online, it seems it can also be used as slang for a protagonist, but that sounded awkward, so I just went with this title.

I'm not feeling great about this one all told, so I just did what I could. I'm no professional, after all.

As others, this comes from parasitoidism's scans.

ok obviously expanse au (whoever ur feeling) and apocalypse au + riya <3

mwah mwah thank you!! // send an au for 5 headcanons

expanse au [for lucky roll table winner] jorina

a belter born on ceres station. smth smth alienage in the human city of denerim can be a parallel to the belter city that's controlled by the UN. they're both also port cities. coincidence?? i think not. 

her family's hole (cannot believe i have to write that, instead of home like a normal person, to stay faithful to canon) was close to the station’s spin, just underneath the line of being considered too small for a family of 5 to live in. the two bedrooms were split between the parents in one and the three siblings sharing the second, and their living room had a slash in the wall that showed the native rock (never repaired, but her dad would eventually paint a mural there and blend it in). 

her mom was Definitely in the OPA, i don't even have to spend time considering it. wenna would have been a devoted member of the faction, raising her kids on all of the speeches about belter pride and the dignity they were owed, righteous in her anger over their continual mistreatment. so this means she absolutely died in a star helix raid on an OPA hideout that was suspected to be the hub of some illegal activity. it definitely wasn't and in the end it's just another for the tally of injustices done against belters 🤷‍♀️

i may be 9 books into this series and have consumed a bit more sci-fi media in general over the last few years, but my god do i still forget Jobs in these settings so easily. so after browsing a few google results, i'm thinking she'd have doubled down on studying/training to eventually become a chief navigator, with some secondary work in astronomy and geoscience. probably some just-above-standard mathematics and computers thrown in there too for good measure. she's a proper belter, they're always having to learn all they can just to adapt and survive.

she took on numerous small OPA jobs to make ends meet for the family, offered to her because wenna was well respected and nobody wants to see her family starve after she'd passed. jorina only took the ones that were simple and quick, and least likely to tie her to the organization. she believes in their overall values wholeheartedly, but didn't want to become dependent on their sporadic work for income,,,and also, yeah, maybe some of the more hardcore members scared her a bit.

apoc au riya (with classic zombies in mind)

thinks about victor's death translating to somebody finding him already killed and being torn apart by zombies. throws up, wails,, jumps off a cliff,,, at least she's starting off the journey w semi-equal trauma to canon 💜 

the girly who had too much faith in the system and thought everything would be contained in like a week so she didn't worry about preserving anything whatsoever. she's throwing a fit on day 8 because her phone is dead and she can't listen to her comfort music literally what's the fucking point anymore just take her out now-

wanna have her separated from family just for the drama of it. no solid plot reasons, i just wanna see riya having an abrupt and overwhelming breakdown like 2 months in when she realizes she can no longer lie to herself and has to accept she won't see her family again due to distance and no possibility of communication. i fear the daddy’s girl may not survive this, fellas.

unexpected tradeswoman when people realize that she's been hoarding beauty and personal care items since month 1 while normal people were stocking up the usual survival necessities. so fun picking on the spoiled girl for having her perfume in the apocalypse until you desperately want some shampoo and realize she's your only option atm.

kinda funny if riya's battle mage skills translate to her being surprisingly good at picking up combat skills against the undead in this au. 10 minute preparation speech from bastian as he's gearing up to show her how to use a pistol and she ends up sinking like three headshots on the first round, then hits him with the “what, like it's hard???” line. has to use an axe to cut her way out of a corner she was being backed into and she comes out without a scratch but absolutely raging over her chipped nails and the blood that is actively staining her $450 jacket.

🌟 + the Johto Elite Four? /genuine, lighthearted

Send a 🌟 + name and I’ll talk about my self insert’s bond to that character!

oh man i had so much fun with brainstorming this stuff back when i made Our Love Is Here To Stay. will constantly be referring back to this fic as i talk about them

Will - I made him kinda showboaty and full of himself in my fic lol, but also i feel like that's kinda true about his character, from what i remember off the top of my head. Also weird vibes. Like, once, when I was a teen, I think I dreamt that he had a crush on me and wanted me to date him instead of Lance? So I kiiiiiindaaa very subtly snuck that into the background lore of the fic. I think Riya was the only one I've told that to so far, outside of whenever I probably posted that on my devart journal when it first happened lol?. Basically, he's just Lance's coworker to me.

Bruno - Love this guy, or well, the way he came out in the fic. Basically kinda borrowed a smidge from pokemas' direction with his character, but also the idea that he's also one of those cheerful loudboxes with how often he shouts HOO-HAH! or something :p Canonically, I don't think he'd be as big of a softie as I wound up writing him, but it was too funny not to think about him being like that. He's always very nice and sweet with me and greets everyone loudly. He was also the one who won all the betting pools on when Lance and I would date/propose/etc. Everyone overthought it, he just synthesized gossip info from the pokecen/league employees. He's kinda like that boisterous loud uncle who would also get very serious if someone tried to hurt you? But mostly we just enjoy having Pokemon battles together a lot and sometimes he shares his food with me if I'm waiting for Lance at the Pokemon League.

Karen - I love Karen!!!! I forget where the hell I got the idea that she was canonically a model/fashionista of some sort, but you can't tell me that's a wrong headcanon to have. She's that work bestie-in-law kinda thing except it's my husband's work but my bestie when i go there. She'll share devious little secrets about Lance with me, especially in the early/dating years, though by now there's less she could share that I wouldn't already know/believe. She still tells me when he's done something embarrassing (for him) and then I get to just later be like "So, honey... about <redacted event>?" "I really wish Karen didn't catch that =_="

When Lance and I were first dating/almost dating, she was very supportive and helpful for basic dating/beauty/appearance tips. c: She also sometimes envies us, because she hasn't had a lot of long-term relationships that worked out because of her position/goals/life ambitions and beliefs.

Koga - embarassing old man co-worker that you tease your husband about him becoming. Koga and I have battled enough, from when he was originally a Gym Leader and again after his promotion to the E4, that he respects me as a Pokemon Trainer. But it took awhile for him to start seeing me as a grown-up adult from when I most battled him as a kid and teen. We have a fairly amicable relationship overall, as far as the coworker vs coworker's wife dynamic goes. He's this cool but sometimes embarrassingly out of touch old guy I know and I'm some person who can help translate his teenage daughter's mysterious ways!

Thank you so much for asking about them! I absolutely love getting to talk about them whenever I can on a meta level bc of the fic I wrote, bc I went from being like "yeah sure they're characters may as well include them" to "this is my husband's squad of coworkers and everyone in this group is embarrassing to each other in some way shape or form."

Some interesting first few results after searching "#alec disventure camp" today.

shaking it up with some twitter/tumblr posts!

(⬇ i found the original upload on twitter by starshapeispret, please support the original artist!)

(translation: "five months since the idea came to me but if it works it works")

this art is so adorable!!! i love how they used Ellie's hair to make it look like she only had one eye. it would be funny to see a version of Monsters Inc where the monsters are... well, a bit more monstrous. like, if Alec and Ellie really enjoy terrifying children, and then they come across a wicked kid who isn't scared by anything, and it takes interacting with that problem child to realize that all kids deserve to be protected no matter what.

lol, i don't know how starting a disliked plotline and getting away with it scot free makes you win, but i'm liking the sound of Alec being the winner.

i said to someone recently that if you'd told me at the beginning of the season that someone on the Yellow Tribe was going to win the season, Riya probably would have been my fourth most likely pick, only because the idea of Yul winning is so cursed and Miriam obviously wasn't going to win a second time. Grett, Alec, and Connor all seemed much more likely to win, and i think the fandom would have vastly preferred crowning any of those three the winner over Riya.

the idea of DCAS being an in-universe scripted show is certainly an interesting one. i can almost see that more than it being an unscripted show-- the producers of Disventure Camp would probably support the idea of the biggest star winning because it would draw the most headlines.

it would even also explain things like the kiss-a-thon and Riya pushing Connor off of a horse. many people have critiqued the former as Kristal potentially punishing a teenage girl (Lake or Maggy) for not wanting to kiss a 50 year old man (Connor), but if the show was scripted in-universe, Kristal herself would have known that that wasn't going to happen, not just the ONC writers. and, if Connor breaking his leg was a scripted stunt, it would explain why Riya wouldn't go to jail or get kicked off the show for being so cruel to him.

c... conspiracy unlocked?
