#saying it's nonsense

When Loki leaves the tree and retires Mobius decides to go with him bc he wants to repay what Loki has done for all of them and Loki is more than happy to live with him, Mobius decides to stay in charge of the house, he makes Loki his tea, goes grocery shopping, decorates the house with things Loki likes and is generally just a very good, caring partner

Loki feels kinda guilty with all this, not because he doesn't appreciate what Mobius does, but because he doesn't want to be a burden to his friend, but after so much time stuck inside Yggdrasil he's not the young god Mobius met for the first time anymore, he gets tired more easily, his joints hurt sometimes, his back also likes to give him trouble and he's just... an old man who still looks young on the outside

Mobius realizes this and finds it adorable, even though Loki is still strong and sharp, his age is starting to show and he thinks it's a blessing that he's able to take care of him like that, he doesn't think it's a burden at all, it's an honor to him, even if Loki complains sometimes like the grumpy old man he's slowly becoming haha

B15, Casey and OB go visit them every once in a while and they all have dinner together, much to Loki's happiness, it's all very cozy and intimate and they talk about all sorts of things, when they're leaving Mobius jokes saying that it's almost past Loki's bedtime and if he doesn't go to sleep soon the old man will get grumpy and it will be a pain in the ass for him, they all laugh and Loki rolls his eyes playfully at him (It is, in fact almost past his bedtime, and he will, in fact get very grumpy if he doesn't go to sleep soon lol)

They don't adress what they are now, they just love each other's company and are more than happy with the life they live, grateful to at last have some peace and rest

the thing is I am still thinking about that bit in conclave right before they're about to vote when the breath of wind & birdsong comes in through the window that had recently been violently blown in to let the light and air into what has til then been a suffocatingly still & sterile & dark & enclosed environment & it ruffles all the pages on the desks & they all pause and look up. like oh god is there

lmao why do i feel like bakugo would be a sleep talker, and like a loud one -- none of that mumbling stuff that izuku sometimes does but like, yaps in his sleep, just little snippets --

"-- don't you dare --"

"-- nerd --"

"-- just g'na blow it up --"

"-- so lame, what're you even --"

"-- keep em safe --"

"-- get down! get down!"

"... love... don't go --"

"... love you --"

you greet him in the morning with a smile, a kiss, and a cup of coffee.

"you were talking in your sleep last night," you say, casual, peaking at him over the rim of your own steaming coffee mug. the frothed milk is sweet on your tongue.

katsuki flushes a bright red, his eyes cutting away.

"yeah, well... hope i didn't say anything weird or embarrassing."

you laugh, "no, nothing embarrassing. you were yelling for a bit --"

"oi --"

you wave him off with a grin, "but..." your eyes twinkle, "then you said some... some pretty sweet stuff so..."

at this, katsuki goes an even more impossible shade of red as he mumbles into his coffee cup --

"well yeah... at first i think i was... fightin' something but then... then i started dreaming 'bout --" he clears his throat, his scowl digging ever deeper between his brows, "'bout you."

Okay 3 things

1. I was thinking about an aroace Sonic who says things that can be taken as wildly flirty/romantic but he just means them genuinely. “You have beautiful eyes, I keep getting distracted while looking at them,” not cause he’s interested romantically in them but because eyes can be really cool and pretty man I dunno what to tell you he likes looking at cool things and he thinks his friends are neat. “You’re the most beautiful person here,” because he really thinks that, he loves his friends

2. Sonic randomly dropping heartfelt genuine comments on his friends out of the blue completely blindsiding them and then moves on like nothing happened while they’re left going ?????? Bonus points if he does something immensely stupid or jerkish just before or immediately afterwards and they can’t tell if he was serious or not with the compliment (yes he was)

3. Sonic usually being so allergic to truly vulnerable moments that when he expresses something heartfelt randomly Tails thinks he’s been stabbed or something and does not believe him when he reassures him that he’s fine he’s fine he’s not dying yeesh

You are completely missing the whole point of Catwoman when you erase her protective motherly/big sister aspects and reduce her to an “independent woman” or a one dimensional villain caricature. No one is “forcing her into nuclear family dynamics” She has been protecting women and children for almost her entire existence as a character! One of her first ever acts of good (literally issue #2 of batman) was offering up her stolen jewelry to the joker to save Dick Grayson’s life! Her desire for family and belonging and acceptance is present in every part of her life when you look one inch deeper than “sexy villain woman in tight leather”

And yes, she is the matriarch of the batfamily, and she has pretty much always been protective of young vigilantes in Gotham. Especially the girls, who usually get Catwoman’s approval as well as Batman’s (Huntress year one, Batman confidential #21)

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.

i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.

characters who see themselves as more of a Force or an abstract concept acting in the world than as a person. characters who prioritize their role as a cog in some greater mechanism over their own personhood. characters who get their hands dirty, who run themselves ragged, who take on an unbearable weight, who hurt or neglect or give up or straight-up betray the people and things they once held close, because they believe in doing so they are fulfilling their Purpose, the thing they exist in this world to do (and no one else will do it, *can* do it, so it has to be them). characters who've determined that they are constructs bound to preprogrammed code, to a script already written for them by someone/something else, and have been operating under that mindset for so long that they don't know how to live on their own terms. characters who uphold the fate that is smothering them. can anyone hear me

I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.

it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"

plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.

anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.

Fen’Harel may seem stressed, but this is important enrichment for him. For optimal health, trickster deities must be pursued by 2-5 larger, angrier deities at all times. This allows them to express their natural instincts to Run, Deny Involvement, and Proclaim Themselves “Just A Little Guy”.

And one amang, an Iyrysch man,

Uppone his hoby swyftly ran…

WAIT HANG ON - slamming the brakes on drawing this stupid picture - do you nerds even KNOW the etymology of the word “hobby”? The thing you do for pleasure? The thing you have too many of? The thing you spend too much money on and share with your friends? The thing tumblr probably is to you? Those hobbies?

It comes from a now-kind-of-extinct breed of Irish pony-horse. It was called the Irish Hobby. Supposedly the hobby got its name from the Gaelic word obann, or swift. They definitely were. They’d obann your pants clean off.

Fast tough little bastards, built for rough terrain and renowned for their speed and stamina, hobby horses belonged to the Celts, and their highly annoying style of mounted warfare. but their conquerors liked hobby horses a lot, kept them, used them for themselves, and found them useful enough, despite the fact that they also had famously useful things like mounted knights or horse archers. A lightweight Irish warrior, mounted on a hobby horse, was called a hobelar.

Reportedly and in depictions, hobelars rode without stirrups. Or saddles. Or bridles. Or - well - this is all sounding very improbable, because the hobelars COULDNT have just been charging around basically bare-assed on naked ponies, screaming, and somehow in the process undoing the composure of actual mounted armoured knights. Knights who, I remind you, had stirrups. Stirrups are useful! It’s quite likely the hobelars had some gear. And clothes. and weapons. And the ponies probably had some tack - I am picturing a bellyband that you could at least hang a saddlebag on, and a neck rope for catching the bloody thing, even if not a saddle. But the overall impression, somehow created by people on darling little ponies, was apparently quite striking and fearful.

I mean. God Forbid People Have Hobbies.

Anyway after a while, whatever people became the British had eventually conquered all of the rough terrain that hobbies were best at, and horse archers just got sexier, and mounted knights became aristos, and all the bog and forest people had been subdued, so it was time to sunset the hobelars. but WAIT! Hobby horses are still tremendously fun and appealing! They’re so fast! and you can ride them without a saddle! Sure, they’re not up to the weight of a mounted knight, or indeed a lot of guys… but surely we can still find a use for a hobby or two? In the back garden? Somewhere?

At which point an English king decided to keep hobby horses just for fun. No military application. No further development of the technology. Not for fun. Just as expensive, pleasurable, pets. Just for the joy of the thing.

And that is how hobby (activity done purely for pleasure) comes from hobby horse (small horse) possibly from obann (swift.) they’re very interesting and you should look all this up for yourself! because it sure sounds like Elodie doing a bit, doesn’t it?

Today, Irish Hobbies are functionally nonexistent. References for drawing include the Kerry Bog Pony, the Connemara, and (I personally think) Dartmoors and Exmoors. They’re said to have lent their speed to the Irish Hunter/Sport Horse and from there to the Thoroughbred, but every damn horse in the world claims relation to the Thoroughbred, and they can’t be THAT thoroughly bred.

At any rate - you can never have enough hobbies. Just be glad that yours aren’t expensive beasts with minds of their own, eating their heads off in the pasture! …Unless they are. In which case, you’re part of a proud tradition.

they should put isabeau in the time loop and when he starts getting to the act 4 part of the plot he should start saying awesomesauce a lot because that's what all white people say when we want to kill ourselves
