chigiri hyoma ; H.S.K.T - leehi, wonstein

can we imagine him sitting on the bathroom counter as you gently massage the jade roller across his face after a face mask. his hair is freshly washed (you brushed it 100 times on each side) so the room smells like peony and coconut, shower is foggy and little bits of his crimson baby hairs seeping out of his headband (〃´𓎟`〃) don't forget to kiss his forehead!!!!!!!!

gives the best?? massages???? maybe it's because of his high maintenance leg, used to doing it on himself so when you groan in pain after a scenic date, he most definitely wastes no time rubbing all the sore out of your legs

PEAK of his day is when he first wakes up and you guys brush your teeth next to each other, he knows sooner or later he'll be under your grasp as your thumb lightly rubs under his eye, rubbing away all excess sleep while your other hand runs through his hair.

secret kpop stan chigiri... totally not self-projecting HUH WHAT WHO SAID THAT what is a kpop stan uhm ! is a gg stan, gets defensive when someone discredits his faves and most DEFO a kiss of life (julie biased), le serrafim (sakura biased) and itzy (yuna biased) fan. probably owns a twt fan acc, i said what i said 🥰

by the way, don't tell him you notice when blush graces his face when you delicately graze the side of your finger across his lashes.

rin itoshi ; soft spot - keshi

rin itoshi who goes completely quiet when it comes to you. not because he secretly doesn't like you or anything, but quite the opposite (=´∇｀=) ! when he sees you, he's completely speechless and ends up staring at the girl who just stole his heart (for an uncomfortably large amount of time). when he sees almost anybody, he always has some sort of venom to spit but when he sees you, he can barely find any words for love 🥹

FACE MASK VICTIM NO.2 !!!!! lowkey flinches a little (affectionate) because he more used to the hot eye masks he gets at the convenience store, when the cold peach mask makes contact with his face, he gets a lil shiver nd' it's the cutest thing

idc how generic i sound HORROR MOVIE DATES!!!!!!!! i'm so here for horror nerd rin, i find it the cutest thing on earth and i just just just. waiter waiter one glass of rin please ! if you're scared (me), he tells you when there's a jump scare and covers your eyes when there's gore or when there's a freakazoid on screen

loves to sit in silence and play horror games too, whether it be the bathhouse, platform 8, as long as it's with you <3 secret valo/splatoon sweat

face scrunch when you push his bangs back n' give him a peck at the crown of his hair (;´□｀)/! not a physically affectionate guy but with instincts as sharp as his you wonder why he just lets you pepper his face with kisses...

baby face.

bachira meguru ; never ever getting rid of me - waitress, the musical

HUGS FROM BEHIND!!!🥹 puts his hands in front of your eyes and tells you to "guess who!!!" but not in a super senior way but more like a "y/nie y/nie guess who guess who!!!!!" way. he's such a cutie patoot i'm dead

music taste range is INSANNEEE biggest fan of babymetal, knows every lyric to hitorie or 2019 genre gacha sabrina carpenter die-hard, white girl radio enjoyer i don't make the rules (me too bachira, me too.)

LOCKS IN AT THE ARCADE (he hasn't won anything yet. key word YET!!). his attention span per machine is very limited but tries his absolute hardest into getting a plush he noticed your eyes wouldn't stray from and stays there for a while, persuaded he's guaranteed to get it. "look, look y/n!!! it's right there i'm sure i can get it. one more try?" same with gachapons. how can you not love this man

PDA lowkey isn't a thing and tackles you when he feels fit. loves to spin you around and does not give a damn if you have two left feet, an unconditional loverboy and is just the cutest (precious) (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ

i am going to bake him into a cupcake.

matching absolutely everything!!! keychains, exchanged shoe laces, patches, bracelets. on the topic of fashion he love love loves when you wear things that are a little odd (this is for the fashion girlies) like mismatching tights, oddly coloured charms on necklaces and/or chunky glasses :3

finds minion facebook memes and laughs.

well olly you know i'm obsessed with these so unforch you leave me no choice *cracks knuckles*

overall impression: very lovely and moody and spooky!! i kinda expected more blood-reds from devlin house but i should've known better, you wouldn't go for something that cliché. as always the shots you chose are SO good, love the combo of very dramatic shots with way more subtle ones!

gif 1: cindy my beloved!! oh my god i need to see edwin laughing like that. i need CHARLES to see edwin laughing like that! and niko is so precious, i love her and her green coat. speaking of! love the way she moves past the colour blocks and almost adds contrast to them until she reaches the green and basically blends in?? SUCH a cool effect. and i love the colours themselves, the green + goldish vibe is everything. the green in the shot is so dramatic that it's like a fun little puzzle to find the rest of the colours! and then you realise, oh wait, that's the majority of the picture. ceiling, chairs, cabinet, niko and cindy's hair. and cindy being represented by the colour palette, drawing her undeniably into the picture because she can actually be seen by everyone around her, the opposite of ghostly, is SO cool. and then the contrast of the bright (blueish?) white?? the way it contrasts so much with niko's coat that at first i couldn't see where you got it from, only when niko moves back it blends perfectly into the window in the background?? olly you are a GENIUS

gif 2: JENNY JENNY JENNY! this is a wild one because it's such a mundane part of the scene and yet i can't stop looking at the dramatic colouring. SHE!!! also the colours you chose feel very similar to the jenny gif from ep1, which, to be clear, i mean SO positively. i love that it ties them together! also something something jenny in her black clothes being surrounded by so much colour as symbolism to what crystal and niko bring to her life. brb crying

gif 3: HI SPOOKY SHOT OF ALL TIME 😍😍😍 one of those dramatic ones i NEVER want to look away from. loveeeeeee the red-orange reflections on them, the purple of crystal's coat, the blue of edwin's shirt. also getting into the symbolism again but the way most of the colours are drawn from crystal and the background (even the blue is present in her grey shirt/jacket/whatever that is) and it makes the boys feel even more ghostly. ESPECIALLY CHARLES?? WHO ONLY RECEIVES RED BACKLIGHTING?? AND SPENDS THE EP GRAPPLING WITH HIS OWN HELPLESSNESS?? THE ONLY ONE UNTOUCHED BY BLUE (AKA SYMBOLIC OF HEAVEN)?? I'M MAKING MYSELF SICK WITH THIS OH GOD

gif 4: SUCH a lovely little shot! the blues from edwin's outfit, the greenish-gray i'm guessing from the stripes (very nice and subtle, love the choice to emphasise them!), the white from his shirt. and then BAM, gold for the bracelet of homosexuality. but even then it's a very subtle colour choice for it, i can see some of the background is the same colour, even the darker parts of edwin's shirt cuffs. it's like you, via the palette, are helping him hide the bracelet and. i'm just in love

gif 5: monty!! the return of niko's green coat!! love the cool (ha!) colours, mixed in with the warmer browns. the blue is so subtle in monty's plaid shirt (and the port townsend sign if i'm not mistaken?) the brown/burgundy in monty's scarf and shirt and the trees in the background really draws it all together! plus the green in both niko's coat and the trees' leaves! also interesting to see here the colours you didn't choose for the palette, like the white of niko's hair and monty's books. not to get too deep into it but it feels like a sign that it's not niko monty's trying to connect to, even though edwin isn't even in the frame! and the darker brown feels sort of similar to edwin's coat but that might just be grasping at straws lmao

gif 6: OH DEVLIN HOUSE WE'RE REALLY IN IT NOW. obsessed with the way you subverted expectations with the devlin house being so blue and monotone, vs how we tend to read it as this dramatic high-stakes situation with so much blood spilled. again with the symbolism but it feels like it speaks so much more to the nature of the thirty-year (!!!) loop and how to the victims of it it's not dramatic but just the same cycle they can't get out of. over and over and over. and crystal and charles' expressions in this one OUGH. crystal trying immediately to find a way to help, to free these women, and charles is seeing his worst nightmare and trying desperately to suppress it. again, charles' helplessness represented by none of his colours making it onto the palette, even though his shirt is still pretty red. his hero colour is represented only as its worst in this house

gif 7: can i just say. obsessed with the parallels of the last two gifs, showing the pre- and post-devlin house feelings? at first i thought this one was from the end of ep3, after gif 8, but just from seeing charles and crystal's interaction it's obviously not OUGH. love the wide shot of them (and the cinematography lessons!! the focus falloff at the top. i am Looking), the greens of the trees and the brown of the leaves and the purple of crystal's coat (ooh and the sign!). some of the purple even seems to come across in charles' jacket! and the blue of the statue also being in edwin and charles' socks and crystal's shirt. it ties them all together in a way that contrasts so much with the effect devlin house has in breaking them apart. forever emotional about ittttt

gif 8: AND FINAL SHOT. devlin house is over (or is it??) the colours nearly blending in with the background and then contrasted against charles' coat. i'd say SYMBOLISM but i'm sure you're sick of hearing it by now lmaooo. the bright lights in the background are SO striking. and the green??? the way it reflects so dramatically against the orange specifically on edwin's face??? i know that's not death's light shining on them but it sure is interesting how often edwin is the one bathed in that colour of light.......... also this might be a reach but the way crystal's jacket/hoodie/whatever seems to be a similar shade of green-grey, tying her and edwin together as having found common ground in the devlin house, vs charles again being the least represented by the colour palette -- devlin house might be over but he still feels helpless. i'm sure nothing bad will come of that!

i'd say i can never be normal about this but you already know that. love this, love you, thank you forever for blessing us with your gorgeous gifs!!!

you ever think about how MK never gets a chance to really define himself?

[memento-morri-writes]

I've been thinking a lot about how Rook's reunion with his former mentor, Zara, is going to go, and since I can't predict what the DM is going to have her do or say, I can only dwell on what I know is going to happen. Which happens to include taking off the illusion ring that's been hiding his injuries from her. So have a snippet of the description I have planned for that moment:

tw for description of (mostly healed) injuries

He hesitates, twisting a ring on his finger. Looking at it more closely, she can tell it’s very finely crafted, and must have been very expensive. A large emerald is set into the band. Rook sighs, and pulls the ring off his finger in one quick motion.  Immediately she’s struck by the difference in his appearance as the illusion melts away. He looks awful. His warm, healthy skin fades to a dull and sickly grey. There’s huge bags under his deeply sunken eyes, and his cheeks are hollowed, as though they have been carved out by an overeager sculptor. He looks like he’s recently risen from the grave.  While he was thin before, now she can see his ribs under the skin, and his collarbones are exaggeratedly pronounce. Thin white lines left by dozens upon dozens of recently healed cuts are scattered across his body. On top of that, faded bruises cover most of his visible skin, a mottled mosaic of purple and yellow. They’re clearly days, maybe weeks old, and she can only begin to imagine what they must have looked like when fresh. Bandages are barely visible under his shirt, wrapping around his back, hinting at even more injuries.

Political ruminations

When Trump lost the Iowa caucuses to Ted Cruz, he said it was rigged. During the 2016 debates (and later the 2020 and 2024 debates) he announced his intention to accept results only if he was victorious in advance -- words right out of his mouth. Then when he won the electoral college against Hillary Clinton he said that actually it was rigged and he won the popular vote too. Then when he lost to Joe Biden he said it was rigged and he tried to launch a coup.

Leaving aside the electoral strategic wisdom of calling Trump a threat to democracy publicly, I have to ask: if it's hyperbolic to call Trump a threat to democracy, in what case, if any, would it not be hyperbolic?

Does it require saying, in almost these exact words, "democracy is the improper procedure for selecting government authority. Government authority should reside in ministers appointed by an Islamic shura council composed of the most devout imams / the right hereditary bloodlines descended from the Scottish Stuart dynasty / a caste of wise philosophers / etc?"

Does it require forsaking elections entirely and launching an armed rebellion, declaring oneself the legitimate government regardless of popular will or existing law?

I guess my questions are:

1) Is there such a thing as a threat to democracy?

2) If so, what's the threshold for qualifying as one? (Why?)

3) Which side of that threshold is Donald Trump on in your view? (Why?)

Cards on the table: I think Trump crosses the threshold as a threat to democracy since he has repeatedly insisted that elections are only valid if he wins, and also attempted to overturn election results that went against him. I do not believe explicit disavowal of democracy is necessary to be anti-democratic. (North Korea is officially called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.)

I agree that it's an uncomfortable that in our two party system, you can end up saying "the other guy is an threat to democracy, so the only way to preserve democracy is to vote for our guy." It would have been easier to stomach if we could have credibly said something like, "The Republican nominee this year is an threat to democracy, but the Democrat, the Green, and the Libertarian all respect democracy." That said, the two party system is a nigh-inevitable result of first-past-the-post voting. Perhaps neither major party is enthusiastic about about weakening the duopoly, but AFAICT the Republicans have been the most strongly opposed to reforms that might reduce the two-party system's grip, such as opposition to ranked-choice voting.

So if the Republican party nominates someone who keeps saying elections are invalid unless he wins, and has a prior record of trying to overturn elections when he loses, and the Democrats are the only opposition with a reasonable chance of defeating him, what is someone who is concerned about preserving democracy supposed to do?

Bringing back some old points but campaigning about how voting for the opposition is the "end of democracy" makes you end up in a situation where democracy is already dead, you have no way to express dissatisfaction with the current government so it already feels like you already live in a one-party state. People just won't accept that.

Mine is soooooo contradictory, it’s fascinating. He prioritizes long term gains to such an effect he got ousted from his R&D job because of it but blows money to an outrageous degree in the short time of Yakuza 3 and his justification for it is that he’ll make up the money later. (Won’t exactly matter if you bankrupt NOW, now will it huh?) His primary goal is to find someone who values people over cash and once he finds that in Daigo he criticizes him for the naïve perspective saying that he should focus on the interests of the Clan as a whole and not on third, unrelated, parties (Kiryu). In his rooftop speech he makes a point that he wouldn’t have spent all of Yakuza 3 trying to keep a hold over the Tojo Clan if Daigo hadn’t ‘failed’ him. Meaning that up to the events of the game Mine had been living proof of his answer by following Daigo through and through WHILE (if we count RGGO) continuously advocating for a ‘Clan first people later’ approach. He’s actually his own worst enemy. Just a constant self sabotage of what he wants versus what he believes is best.

hello did you know that giraffes are 30 times more likely to be hit by lightning than people? I just learned that. I think its because they're so high up

I was going to send this on anon but you have that option off and I am not a coward so I'm sending it anyways

damn i knew choosing to be tall when i was born was a mistake 😪 that sucks though bc people deserve to be hit by lightning way more. we can all live in treehouses to up our chances maybe.

(if you were on anon i feel like i wouldn’t have guessed it was you because the fagus i know isn’t a coward <3)

i once saw someone contrast miko.fuu by claiming that f.uuta’s individualistic while mi.koto is not, but i would argue that miko is the one who puts himself first in his mind in most situations…….??? ?

Reading up on the people on my election ballot and there's some combination of "can ANYONE tell me what their policies actually are???" (Specifically with the smaller offices) VS "Oh, so YOU'RE the reason why Indiana has an abortion ban! Duly noted!"

Song of the Day: March 26

"Songs About Rain" by Gary Allan

[girls-and-honey]

a few of you asked for progress pictures on the pants adventure alsdkfs so I’m still in the early stages but here’s an update! below the cut for length

basically I’m mimicking a pair of pants I bought (or attempting to mimick them at least) because they’re super comfy and I love the leg style, these are the first wide straight legged pants I’ve owned I think? idk why I didn’t get a pair sooner

there’s no rhyme or reason to why I’m picking this project now it just happened, and who am I to understand how my mind works. so update 1 I guess? all pieces are cut! (except the elastic but shh).

I don’t have enough of a single fabric to make a uniform pair of pants but that’s okay because I like to do a fun version of whatever I’m making the first time I make it, and usually these end up being wear-at-home versions but sometimes they actually work. so we’re doing some color blocking! it’s going to be charcoal on the left side and an olive-y green on the right side, so with the colors and because of the tear texture in the fabric I’m thinking of them as halloween pants!

the colors show up very overexposed on my phone camera but here’s what the texture looks like up close and overall, and the pile of all cut pieces (tumblr is doing a weird crop but the pictures show more if you click) yes I shouldn’t store knit pieces this way but I’m going to bc I’ll be hopefully sewing it up within a few days. the charcoal really is pretty dark, and even the green is medium dark even though it doesn’t look like it

idk how much of the process you want vs just status update but? I cut all the pieces from green first then just mirrored them on the charcoal. it ended up being a pretty good use for this amount of fabric, I just have a few medium size scraps left over

the biggest piece is the back leg, smaller one is the front. plus curved slash pockets bc I can :) I was too tired to figure out which layer will have the curve on the pocket pieces so I’ll trim the extra when I sew it lol

also!! here’s the fabric I wish I had enough of to just make the full pants out of but I only have enough for 3 of the 4 big pieces I’d need. again my camera isn’t great (it’s much darker in person, a bit on the darker navy side) but I feel like I could have gotten away with comfy work pants with this one:

so that’s the pants update! pretty sure this is the first sewing thing I’ve posted on here so hooray for firsts

Ask Game! :D

You know what. I wanna play this game and I think y'all like my opinions tm so leave me a character in the asks box and I'll tell you something I think about them! No Mother 3 NPCs though because goodness I don't know enough about them until I actually scrounge up the mental capacity to continue Mother 3 past Chapter 1. Thank you. I know you love Mixolydia, but I can't report much on her. Go nuts with 'absolute rando from Mother 1' though. :]
