So, in the photo of Ford and Fiddleford in college that you can find torn in half in the Book of Bill, it says "MISS YOU" in the code the Stan twins came up with as kids. Fiddleford has to be the one that wrote it there, so does that mean that Ford taught him his childhood secret language? I've got so many thoughts and feelings about that.

Oh boy do I love it when I see two characters with vastly different personalities and wow their backstory and motivations and developments are in some proximity tied to each other? Wow how I do love that! What’s that? They have a rival-esque dynamic? Which stems from one characters insecurities? How interesting! I can’t wait to see how the pair’s relationship progresses throughout the span of the entire show! Hopefully they will be granted with a blossoming relationship from rivals to friends to an unbreakable bond that not even the insurmountable obstacle that is time and distance can wither! Hopefully the show displays poignant moments between the two that can act as lessons the audience can learn from such as battling your insecurities and being able to rely and trust people etc.!!!!

I do love both of these characters dearly. 😈 HAHAHAHAHA SHIPPING TIME!!!

Ok, let me just binge the whole thing—

Bound for the @renegadepublishing Tiny Book Bang. Typeset by @admiraltypress. I brought this typeset as uncut sheets with me to @fantailpress's for a @renegadepublishing meetup where we practiced suminagashi in Rhi's yard. In the sweltering heat, if I remember correctly. I don't think I even marbled this... I remember @marvinhere was in town, I think she marbled the text for me.

"My, what a strange website this is! It is quite fortunate indeed that I am rather "technologically literate," as they say. Now, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nerine Fleur d'Rosine. I am the lead curator of the Musee d'Illumise, an art museum located within Lumiose City. Admission to the museum is of course, free of charge. Though I certainly do appreciate any generous donations towards my wardrobe fund. Ohoho~! ...That was a joke. All donations go towards improving the museum, as well as purchasing new pieces to add to our collection. Now, if you have any questions, you are welcome to leave a message in my inbox. I will get to you momentarily."

imagine the resident evil characters just making scrapbooks out of all the notes/clues

[nartml]

at least i’m not desperate enough to try to get notes by having like 100 tags on my post🫵🏾🤣 what do u think you’ll get by having tags like #taylor swift crictism and #anti taylor swift IJBOL anw sasusaku canon and taylor swift could write anything better than shakespeare ever wrote while shakespeare can’t even try to outdo folklore because he’s alr 6 ft underground stay mad🥱

I genuinely can't stop laughing at this. Sincerely thank you, I haven't cackled like this in ages

I'm quite grimly fascinated by the YouTube pen pal creator sphere. Like… first of all, these people are just putting their full name and address on screen, huh?

Also, Idk, it just feels kind of disingenuous that they're always all "It isn't about the decoration or the extras! A simple heartfelt letter is what's important!" when they've built their entire online brand around elaborately decorated letters—that they, again, show in full on screen to millions of people who are not the recipient—with a bunch of stickers and tea bags and bits of confetti and washi tape samples added as gifts on top of what's used for decoration. Like, I don't know, if you have to disclaim a million times that having a pen pal is Not A Stationery Swap and that people shouldn't expect to be given these things, maybe you could reflect for a moment on what may have created this impression?

Like, personally, I never for a second believed that I needed more than "just an ordinary sheet of paper and any pen at all uwu" to send a letter, so it's sort of baffling to be gently reassured by people spending hours of work designing a visual aesthetic for their letters that, of course, I don't have to do it like that. Like, yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

I mean, I'm all for people having fun with stickers and washi tape and markers and whatever, but I feel like they've created this very false barrier to entry that I'm not about. It's bullet journals all over again.

Quick question about something I’ve seen as of late, why would someone with a typing quirk ask for no translations to be provided? On public posts and such, not like in a discord. I see it most often with ‘extreme’ (for lack of better words) quirks, with symbols that don’t load on all devices or might require a key, etc not just leetspeak. Those with typing quirks, what is your opinion on translations/alt text?

Y'all I go through so much trouble to try and make sure that my icon is centered, and then when I save it tumblr scootches it a little to the side and I-

they should invent a walk where you can write stuff down without having to stop on the side of the path typing things in your phone
