#she's an enigma to me

[polniaczek]

i'm not sure if you're interested in this, but i was wondering if you are aware of the drama between the ladies from TFOL recently and your thoughts on it? Well, most of it it's just from Mindy actually. She's given some interviews in the past months and talked about an alleged reboot of TFOL that was ruined because of one of the other girls, and it's very obvious that she means Lisa, although she's not willing to name names. If you google Mindy you'll see an interview from today where she calls that co-star a "greedy bitch", and in past podcast interviews she's talked about not being willing to work with someone who hasn't acted in ages. Anyway, I may sound harsh but I don't trust Mindy, she always seemed a little petty and now it looks like she just wants attention. She's always the one stirring up drama while the other 3 don't seem to care lol and i think that says a lot about the whole situation.

wow! strong words. I hadn't heard about that. :( as much as I like TFOL, I'm not the type to follow a show's cast elsewhere for interviews or other projects so I'm always out of the loop until someone else fills me in.

having said that, I remember around 2017 or 2018 there were articles where mindy was publicly attempting to secure the rights to the show. Idk how much string-pulling that requires or how close she came to doing so but this suggests to me that she's always cared more about this than the others. then when leo dicaprio's company bought the rights instead, I thought the project was sure to be shelved since it was out of her hands. I'm just now learning with this video that she somehow became re-involved and it was still in the works for a while after.

my impression has always been that mindy is okay with being messy in interviews because she's ~being real~ so I don't think she's fabricating anything. I think she's just pissed about losing out on this thing that she put time and effort into because of someone she trusted and finds catharsis in airing their dirty laundry. it's not a good look to essentially spit on your own brand regardless of the in-fighting, but she's still landing acting gigs so maybe she doesn't care to preserve that image.

i really need to rewatch uwe before the upcoming season finale and properly gather my thoughts on it but i really really like the show! its goofy and cartoony style paired with a serious story about these warriors' souls stuck in an eternal war with the evil, the slight psychological horror of being used as hosts for said souls and almost completely discarded and disregarded (though it doesn't say too much about this, this is more my overthinking), the steampunk elements, the character designs, the voice acting... all of it. despite that i still have some irks with it, like the pacing. this show would've definitely benefited from having more episodes. for such a story heavy show 10 episodes doesn't feel enough. it worked with primal, genndy tartakovsky's previous show, because there was little to no dialogue there. it did an excellent job at making the viewer understand what was happening with mere facial expressions. but uwe characters have a lot to say, a lot to work out between each other. and it's clear tartakovsky wants to tell more. they need more episodes to do that. i hope the show gets renewed for a second season. i need everything that i'm extremely confused about to be addressed and cleared up

Penelope is also Athena's pet/blorbo/special little mortal/etc. and if you think otherwise you're straight up wrong.

You're also wrong if you think Athena only likes Penelope because of Odysseus and/or Telemachus. As if Athena didn't see a young Penelope pull some shit and immediately think "Oh! Another mind to mold! C'mere you! Let's do some riddles and weaving!". Athena was happy that two of her favorite pets have met and fell in love!

scruffy old cat and her apprentice who is three sauces tall...

[kadextra]

“You are important.”

“I’m really worried about you. You need to take care of yourself, because you’re not okay, we can see it. are you drinking water and eating?”

“You’re scaring me. cause I know that you’re not okay, but I can do nothing.”

“Every day I hope to find something about the eggs because I can’t stand seeing q!Bad sad anymore”

“He’s changing every day, turning into something like a ghost… I’m so worried, it’s like at any moment he could just disappear.”

“I feel powerless. I think q!Bad is suffering a lot, but he doesn't admit it. I really want to help him, I've been thinking really hard about how to help him”

“He took me around, we hang out, he helped me a lot and gave me items. He is my best friend. I don’t know what I should do…”

ough q!bagi. every time she talks about q!bad it makes my heart break, she is so kind. they’ve known each other a week, but she says with her whole chest that this is my best friend and I Will find a way to help. she is the only person q!bad has straightforwardly admitted not being ok to. I’m so….

so now that we know that kevin looks a lot like kayleigh that also means kayleigh day was fine as fuck

[ghostradiodylan]

Can we just talk about Kaitlyn’s response to kissing Ryan for one second? (You know, not that we do that perverted het shit in this house /j)

Now if you’ve only ever made the correct choice kissed Dylan, you could be forgiven for thinking Kaitlyn is pretty into Ryan. She looks a little pouty about not being chosen here.

[Also oh my god she’s so tiny the beer bottle is huge in her little Barbie hand I want to squish her 😍]

This is right after the “shall we?” She doesn’t look unhappy… but she looks a little trepidatious. She does not look like she’s won the kissing Ryan Erzahler lottery.

Is it because Dylan’s giving her a real cunty side-eye? Hard to say.

[Look, they're besties and he'd literally die for her, but he's thinking about cutting a bitch right now.]

Pre-kiss. Does she look excited about this? She kinda looks dead inside to me.

[Why does she look like she’s thinking, did I leave the oven on?]

Immediately after…

Does… does she look pleased to you, my guy? She kinda looks like she just realized she doesn’t actually like men disappointed to me.

She kind of cringe smiles at this line. You would, right?

I just really want to know what kind of direction they gave Brenda here because my girl is NOT happy. There’s, like, a silent ‘ugh’ in this face! And we don’t know why! Is it because she’s worried about Dylan’s feelings? She didn’t seem that worried about him before the actual kiss. Is it because of the awkward silence that accompanied it? It’s not like she knows everyone would have cheered if he picked Dylan, only we know that.

Then she sits down and…

Well, guess that happened.

She looks significantly happier about Dylan kissing her supposed crush.

She could just be putting on a brave face for her friends, but Dylan can’t even see her yet and she’s already smiling.

And, of course, the game further affirms this because we don’t get the ‘disappointed’ chyron regarding Kaitlyn if Dylan is chosen instead.

So, I totally respect everyone’s right to ship them as a throuple, but when people say SMG should have just made them a canon throuple in the game I have to disagree, unless they were going to fundamentally change the characters and their reactions to each other in order to do it. (Other than Kaitlyn’s reactions here, writer/director Will Byles says Dylan is gay, not bisuxal, and we know he’s canonically pretty jealous.) And that’s not just my compulsory monogamy speaking, I actually think Nick/Abi/Emma would be a perfectly workable throuple and I’m surprised more people don’t write them that way.

But mainly I think Kaitlyn just… really isn’t that into Ryan. And I do wish we got more insight into her character on this topic and just in general. Is it because she knows Dylan likes him more than she does? Is it because she’s actually a lesbian suffering under comphet (or completely aro/ace and just not accepting it) and she had to tell Jacob something when he asked who she thought the hottest person at camp was, so she picked the brooding loner who never talks to anyone because that seemed safe? Is she secretly harboring feelings for Jacob and that’s why she’s so hard on her childhood friend about his relationship with Emma?? There’s just no way to know.

[pigeonstab]

Doing this to you and then running away hehehe >:3

Bonk! Hehehe, that's such a cute gif, we should be cats together, no responsibilities for you. You'd be a ginger car. Cause you're Irish. And I'm stereotyping you.

Also! Idk how I even got this fucked up but I just woke up at one AM with the light still on and one shoe on in my bed.

I've just spent like 5minyes explaining my dream in the tags and I replaced 'where' with 'were' two times so if you're going to read the novel I wrote be wary of that. Loll this post is a mess, goodnight Charlie!! I love you!

[sneakerdoodle]

this may be petty but i think it's just a bit silly that both the comic (very openly) and the movie (less so but still deliberately) used Nimona's shapeshifting combined with her immortality as a source of distrust for Ballister, causing him to look at her differently, no longer seeing a vulnerable young person (and that hurting her and hurting their bond) - that in the movie, they had the director use footage of Nimona allowing herself a moment of vulnerability, of being a child reaching out to a child, and tell everyone "see? this monster will PRESENT as harmless and vulnerable and choose seemingly helpless forms to fool you", had the director point at this battered traumatized suicidal teenager falling into the arms of the first adult in a thousand years who chose to protect her, and say "this is deception, it's TRYING to appear vulnerable and young and defenseless" - and she is wrong, and we're supposed to know that the narrative asks us to TRUST what we see despite the things we do not get to fully know or understand -

and now a portion of the fan base is debating whether Nimona choosing a vulnerable young form is disingenuine and inauthentic to her actual degree of "maturity". is just weird!

[officialspec]

brisbane otta idea; she could totally be a construction worker :O why? easy. got a visual in my mind of otta with a jackhammer going to TOWN on some concrete

LOL her being a bricky is so trueee. i still have to figure out how she wouldve ended up working for the canaries restaurant but im open to suggestions

"Ælfgifu of Northampton appears, in both medieval sources and modern scholarship, to be a figure who exists mainly on the fringes of the authors’ interests. She lived in decades for which we have very sparse source material and, unlike Cnut’s second wife, Emma of Normandy, never found her anonymous encomiast. There has been in recent decades significant interest in Emma, and yet to my knowledge, no single publication devoted to Ælfgifu has appeared. This is not the fault of the evidence. Few sources mention her, but those that do often do so in context which are intriguing and suggest a powerful and ruthless Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who played a number of significant roles in the English and Scandinavian political scenes. [In particular, Ælfgifu weathered the disgrace of her powerful Mercian family in 1006], survived a career in the administrations of Denmark and Norway, and re-emerged in England in order to [successfully] secure the throne for her second son."

Greetings!

Ive been looking at the insanity that is the Personality Swap Phenomena!

(Btw the swap thing from JKK? In short this is an ability someone has that by clapping their hands, they can swap the position with someone else, pretty handy in a fight!)

Random ideas for swap:

Engima and Lucy or Engima and Ulrich, in both cases Engima will lose his shit.

Vertin and Matilda - why not?

Kakania and Semmelweis - i keep putting ppl with beef swapped together lmao.

Jessica and Tooth Fairy - the most random combo tbh

Windsong and Kakania - switching around the healthy and doomed yuri

I dont have any other swaps but general idea of how it started maybe?

Laplace being laplace was attempting to alter floppy disks to enhance performance and distance it can take people, however a mixture of incantations and accidents later multiple arcanists are infected and swapped around, the only problem is who is who since it affected a wide range of people at once.

Hello Comrade!!

Oooo, well that is quite a useful ability, I didn't know that but it's damn cool!

I lost everything because Tumblr gave itself an update I did not consent too. I got so frustrated I postponed it. I'm sorry 😞

Enigma and Lucy personality swap but Enigma is aware of his personality change but is unable to do something.

He'd be an annoyance, no offense to Lucy. His long explanations feel like he's explaining to a dumbass and the way he understands emotions is limited.

"This formula doesn't seem to be working, the results are bigger than the required number. Perhaps if we could use a more specific formula we could get the needed results."

"Why the fuck are you talking all fancy?"

I bet some people were about to punch him because of this. They can forgive a robot lady for acting this way, but a human? We know how it went with Ezra, but Enigma is older.

He's far more approachable now, doesn't look as tired and unorganized as before, but he's twice as annoying now.

(small Lucy-Enigma: The awakened is slightly racist towards everyone equally and glares at anyone who approaches her)

With Ulrich's personality, he's actually a nice and approachable dude. Like this one uncle that appears once a year for family dinner and is a cool and chill guy.

Ulrich surprisingly had enough patience with everyone except for Enigma, so imagine seeing Enigma so chill

It feels forbidden.

Enigma would be an approachable dude, more than he was with Lucy's personality since he doesn't over explain whatever thing he feels like explaining or acts weird.

And he hates it.

(Ulrich-Enigma, can't glare at people so he sits there and his black thing in his helmet rolling around in frustration)

Vertin-Matilda is certainly something.

"Mm? Of course I'm great, I'm the Timekeeper. You don't have to say it twice"

Such a smug and prideful personality mixed with her charming good looks and a gorgeous smile? Vertin is certainly more attractive now.

Unfortunately, Vertin is not unable to escape Matilda's girlfailure personality.

"Ah, yes yes. I'm amazing and all of that, no need to mention it."

"Mm, this change makes you look... Cute"

"?! Please don't say unrelated and out-of-context things, Mesmer!"

"and a bit annoying"

Matilda-Vertin is accidentally charming.

Her cute baby face, her bright blue eyes and such a calm and chill personality makes up for a squishable look.

"You is very cute Matilda!"

"Mm, Thank you Kanjira. But, could you let go of me? I fear my jacket is tearing apart"

"Tearing apart?!"

Oh yeah, she's a bit of a prankster. Her awful pranks and terribly delivered jokes are funny for the wrong reasons. But funny nonetheless.

"This bread... It looks pretty moldy."

"It looks pretty bread-y to me"

"..."

Kakania-Semmelweis being emo is so... Cursed.

"Look within the mirrors, see yourself in a whole new light."

"Kakania, are you okay?"

Her fancy words and silly delivery is so funny but also cursed. She's so weird sometimes as well, just staring around with silence and a small peaceful smile

She's not rambling, she's not ranting, she's not chatting your ear off, she's just watching people do their thing. Politely adding comments every once in a while.

Sometimes, when she's in company of the people she's comfortable with (unsurprisingly, this Kakania doesn't talk to many), she does some silly stuff because she can and because she wants to.

"This is definitely inedible"

"MS KAKANIA SPIT THAT OUT IT'S BEEN THERE FOR MONTHS"

Semmelweis-Kakania is Lorelei's biggest time consumption.

"And, so, this chapter concludes after 30 pages of s-"

"My little musical note, I don't mean to sound rude. I really do enjoy your talking, but I have a date and-"

"Oh! Right, sorry. Me talking must have eaten a lot of your time. Please, let me scort you."

"It's not necessary"

"I insist!"

She's a chatterbox all the way through. I have a feeling she reads fanfiction so she has definitely chatted someone's ear off about her favorite. She's supposed to keep it a secret but oh Lord.

Fan of novels like Carmilla, which is again, supposed to be a secret. Unfortunately Kakania has never been a fan of secrets and tends to talk a bit too much, so Semmelweis' secrets are flying out there. Once she goes back to normal she's going to be SO pissed.

(Lorelei there listening about Semmelweis' favorite fanfic about vampires with a traumatized look)

Jessica-Tooth Fairy being actually creepy

She's naturally uncanny, a cervitaur with a weird vibe and ragged looks would freak anyone out, the thing is that she's a sunshine so she doesn't scare anyone in the end (unless you're the unfortunate Green Lake explorer, sorry)

But now that she's silent, has a calm personality and pretty much just stands there? Oh Lord, she's creepy.

"You seem to have dropped your-"

"AAAAA WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM?!"

"I was here this whole time"

She's still kind and playful, but it's more in a calm way. Still grabs carbuncles and lets other people pet them, they're her good friends;

Without the fixation for teeth, and instead for horror movies, her lines are weird. She could be asking for an arm or an eye, jokingly, and people would turn to her weirdly.

"If you see an eye, please bring it to me. It is a dear gift for Jennifer."

"A what"

Tooth Fairy-Jessica shining so brightly Z had to replace her glasses for sunglasses.

Affectionate, hyperactive and compassionate, with her cozy yet uncanny looks? Okay, you've got me.

There's something about seeing Tooth Fairy smile so happily that's blinding. She's affectionate as well, but in a different way than usual. She hugs people and plays with their clothes in an absentminded way.

Z is still struggling to get rid of her lipstick in every part of her face, a little too affectionate for their usually reserved relationship.

"I really like your- Uhm.... I, I remember that word, hold on."

"My jacket?"

"Yes, indeed! It suits your eyes!"

"It's the same as always, Campbell."

"Is that so? I always felt like it made you look pretty, I just wanted to say it today."

Accidental flirt.

Kakania-Windsong has not left Marcus alone on their investigation, not even one bit.

"This is Freud's last theory! Such a well crafted truth he has made. What do you think Marcus?"

"Erm, I think it's a little exaggerated."

A huge nerd, a huge loser. Her personality is already pretty fixated in her habits but with Windsong's personality, she just holds onto the thing and doesn't let it go until she has analyzed every line of it.

And when she sees Isolde? God bless her soul.

She can't get too close to her, she knows that, but that doesn't stop her from making a fool out of herself within sight.

*BAM*

"K-Kakania?! Are you okay???"

"Doctor? Did you just trip with the table?"

"..."

Compliments make her shy, unlike usual. And she's a lot more sensitive so, careful with what you say about her (Turns to Semmelweis)

Windsong-Kakania also hasn't stopped talking Vila's ears off about her latest map on Ley Lines.

She hasn't been making a fool out of herself, but it's harder to pinpoint the difference since hers and Kakania's fixation are similar.

The biggest noticeable change is the fact she can flirt without stuttering. And that she can talk without dying of self-consciousness in the middle

"(Has been talking for hours analyzing Ley Lines)"

"I'm so in love with you."

"Mm? What did you say?"

"The line here is blue."

"Oh!"

Clueless in romance to the point Vila has been purposefully dropping bombs then playing them off as nothing. She loves to see Windsong's confused face almost about to get the hint before she changes subject and she enthusiastically continues the topic.

As for how it started, I had the idea of it being because of X, but the floppy disks are pretty interesting!

This could have been Laplace allowing X (And Ezra as a collaborator) to expand their current investigation on Floppy disks. After using their knowledge and presenting a disk with a larger range and capacity, Laplace was ecstatic to try it out.

Someone forgot that X is the well known "Creator of useless things" and most of the time, he fails. And Ezra is unfortunately a little new with the technology, so the mixture of Ezra's fungus magic and I failure made up for a tragedy.

Instead of teleporting people, it changed their personality traits for a certain amount of time. It took a couple tries to determine this phenomenon, and it's still hard to find out a difference.
