COOLEST BISEXUALS ON THE DISC!!

[quanblovk]

To the Mage Sisters: What are your opinions on the inhabitants of Planet Popstar? For example, The Great King of Dream Land: King Dedede

Zan Partizanne: Ah yes, the loud mouth penguin. We three are very indebted to him for freeing us of that dark past.

Flamberge: KYAHAHAHA!! That big fluffy penguin sure does eat a lot too! I'll get him in the next pie eating contest, he doesn't stand a chance!

Zan Partizanne: Berge, please stop subjecting your digestive system to such torment.

Francisca: The waddle dees that follow him are just the cutest! They oddly remind me of the jambelievers, only if they were stronger, smarter and capable of building their own civilization!

Zan Partizanne: Now who else....oh right. His knight. Heheh.

Flamberge: Dammit Zan! You're doing that creepy chuckle again! That means you're hiding something from me! Just who is Meta Knight and why do you always act so familiar around him?!

Zan Partizanne: I'll tell you when you're older.

Flamberge: JAMBLASTED- wait......WE'RE ALREADY ADULTS- WHY WOULD I NEED TO-

Zan Partizanne: Anyways, that little masked knight helped us immensely too. Though he doesn't talk a lot to me compared to the other sisters. Which is to be expected. Also, he definitely has issues. A lot of them.

Francisca: He's a very stoic knight, just straight out of a fairy tale~

Flamberge: pfft, he's alright I guess. But I much prefer his evil twin brother! He's just WAY more fun and (somehow) has less problems! seriously that guy has ISSUES.

Francisca: He smells weird though....

Flamberge: That's his signature musk. Easy to get used to! Compared to Zanny's B.O, he smells way less spicier-

Zan Partizanne: what.

Flamberge: -3- ~ 🎵

Flamberge: And we can't possibly forget the other 2!

Francisca: Yes! Same with King Dedede and Mr. Meta Knight, Kirby and Bandana Dee saved our lives too! They're both so adorable and a joy to hang out with!

Zan Partizanne: I admire the puffball's resolve, same with the pointy waddle dee. He's got moves, I admit. Hmph.

Flamberge: KYAHAHA! Zan's always like that whenever he meets another spear user. So competitive-!

Zan Partizanne: .....

Flamberge: Joke! It's a joke! Stop pointing your partisan at me....-3-

Francisca: Let's see....who else....OH RIGHT! How could I forget?!

Marx~! 💖💖💖

Francisca: HE'S JUST THE CUTEST LITTLE THING! JYAAAAAAA!!!

Flamberge: OH- OH HELL NO FRAN, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT BEHIND THAT SMILE IS THE DEVIL! HE'S EVEN WORSE THAN OUR former DARK LORD!!!!!

Zan Partizanne: Never in my life had I encountered such a terrifying ball-balancing clown........Franny, be wary of that awful creature!

Francisca: B-but....he's BABY! Aw......So far he hasn't done anything to me yet. I often hang out with him, Magolor and Chilly!

Flamberge: Chilly? Who's that?

Francisca: The little sentient snowman! We all get along well, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about~

Flamberge: Well, if Franny says so......

Zan Partizanne: We will take your word for it. Oh, as for the other inhabitants, our opinion remains the same. Neutral. Popstar is a wonderfully friendly planet.

What sorta languages do your NSR cast speak? Although we know DK west and Zuke speak Malay but everyone else… hmmmm

I would say a majority of the cast, if not all of them, speak Malay to some extent. If they can't speak it they can at least understand it since I like to think Vinyl City is in Malaysia and everyone who interacts with DK West knows what he is saying.

So like, either Tatiana, May and Eve all also know Malay, or the language we hear in the game (English for me, other languages are for other people) are just for us and the "canon" language they are actually speaking is Malay. Either way though, I see everyone knowing at least some Malay.

And I guess I would say they all know English as. English was probably everyone's second language if it wasn't their first. So that being said, I'll get into specifics (Gonna try to put them in order of when they learned, so first one should be their first language unless I forget and mess up lol. So last language in the first sentence is their last learned language they can confidently speak, though it might not be fluent.)

Mayday: Malay, English, Hebrew and some Korean and Hindi (she's learning)

Zuke: Malay, Arabic, and English. Probably trying to learn Korean

DJSS: Swahili, English, Malay. Some Spanish, Koran, MSL and KSL.

Sayu: Malay, English, Chinese, Tamil, Hindi, Japanese, and Vietnamese (all of these were more coded into mer than mer learning them naturally.) For a language Sayu is trying to learn merself: Korean

-I feel like the rest of the Sayu Club would also know all the same languages as Sayu just from being coded with that knowledge beforehand. So They all share that, but I will give languages they want/are trying to learn as well.

Aoi: German, Russian, or Swedish

Haru: Korean or Thai

Yua: French

Renho: French or Spanish

Remi: English, Hebrew, Hindi, Chinese, Malay. Some Japanese and Korean (also JSL)

Tila: Tamil, Chinese, Malay. Some Japanese and Korean (also JSL)

Dodo: Japanese, English, Malay. Some Chinese. Some Korean JSL and KSL

Sofa: Vietnamese, English, Malay, Chinese. Some Korean. JSL and some KSL

Yinu: Spanish and Zulu. Decent at English, and some Malay (still learning a lot, her English is much better than her Malay). Very little Korean because she is just starting. LSM. Only a few signs or phrases in JSL and KSL.

Mama: Zulu, Spanish, English. Some Malay and Korean (not the best but is trying to use it more and more). LSM. Some JSL and KSL.

Papa: Spanish and English. Knew only a bit of Zulu. LSM

Neon J: Korean, English, Malay. Some Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese. KSL (can't see anymore though, so only sees it when 1010 sign because of robotics). Braille and Korean Morse Code (I think this is called SKATS, or a version of it is).

Rin: Korean, English, Malay. Learning Arabic. KSL, Braille, Morse Code and Binary code. Some JSL.

Purl: Korean, English, Malay, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, French, Spanish (both Mexican and Spain) and Arabic. Some Vietnamese, Swahili, Zulu, German, Thai, and Tamil. Learning Ukraine, Gaeilge, Filipino, and Italian. Knows few words in Greek, Hebrew, and Portuguese. KSL, JSL, and MSL (trying to learn sign language for Russian and Malay as well). Can read Latin and is trying to speak it more. Braille, Morse Code and Binary Code. They can also count to 10 in all these languages plus a bunch more.

[Purl has a special interest in languages, so they have been trying to learn as many as possible and will use them whenever they can, which happens a lot in a place as popular as Vinyl City]

Zimelu: Korean, English, Malay. Some French. KSL. Some JSL. Braille, Morse Code and Binary Code.

Haym: Korean, English, Malay. Very little Hebrew and Hindi (just picked up some words from May and Eve really). KSL and some JSL. Braille, Morse Code and Binary Code.

Eloni: Korean, English, Malay. Some Japanese and Chinese. Actively learning Greek. KSL, JSL, and some MSL. Braille, Morse Code and Binary Code.

Dew: Korean and English. Knows Malay, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese from coding (similar to the Mermaid Club). Learning Spanish. KSL and JSL. Morse Code.

Maragold: Korean and English. Malay only from code. Learning Spanish and MSL.

Carna: Korean and English. Malay only from code. Learning swear words in other languages (any language that Purl knows that others wouldn't since they won't understand what fae is saying).

Eve: Hindi, Hebrew, English, Chinese, Malay. Some Korean and JSL.

Tatiana: Russian, English, Malay. Knows Spanish and French but is very rusty in both those languages.

Kliff: English, Korean, Russian. Some Malay, French and Spanish. Morse Code.

DK West: Malay, Arabic, English. Some Korean, Russian, and Japanese. Probably some KSL. Would know Malay sign language.

Noa: Japanese, English (Brit). Morse Code. Some Russian words.

Asa: Japanese, Hebrew, English (Brit). Some Russian words.

Rei: Japanese, English (Brit/Aus). Some Russian words.

Elivy: French, English, Spanish, Russian. Braille.

Quida: Spanish, English. Some French and Russian.

Joust: French, Arabic, English. Spanish and Russian (rusty with those two though).

Martha: English and Korean.

Aria: English and Korean.

Esther: Zulu and Spanish. Some English. Few words in Malay.

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

[gigizetz]

unfinished Circe drawing that I'll probably never finish

[idolomantises]

Man is it just me or are a lot of TV shows nowadays are written to have big emotional episodes in scenes with very little build up.

[gailynovelry]

You know those aesthetic image posts that float around tumblr? I'm . . . starting to see a lot on my dash that are obviously ai-generated. Are non-artists having trouble telling the difference between AI images and real photos, or are people starting to stop care about the stolen art that gets fed into those programs?

fun with animation ♡

[red-crescent-marigold]

i heard the people like .adventure time or something

[mari-lair]

good night Sif

edit: Isa saying 'stars' is important

[addamii]

Some gifs of the animation I did for my animatic! They only show up for a little bit in the actual thing so I wanted to give them their own post :)

Also a video version because it’s better quality

the number of afab people replying to the pain poll going "yeah I've broken limbs and had 1st degree burns and given birth but nothing tops my menstrual pain" is so fucked up it is unbelievable. and I was right there with everyone else until I stumbled on a low dose progestin regimen that just made me stop menstruating. which I would recommend to everyone except it just doesn't work for everyone. ask your doc about it though, it won't cause permanent side effects or injury to try it out. i take norethindrone 2.5mg 2x/day. this dose has to be different for each patient to work correctly, that's just what I take. there's some research to suggest synthetic progesterone like norethindrone is carcinogenic so I'm going to look into switching. anyway i just got extremely lucky. there is seriously nothing like it. it was the worst pain I ever felt until the urology incident and frankly I think the menstrual pain was already a factor in the outcome of the urology incident

It's kind of a shame that the "anti-filler" mentality has reached a point where a lot of writers (and fans) assume that if a show isnt constantly moving the plot forward and establishing lore, its basically filler and wasting space. Personally I think its good, if not necessary for a show to slow down and just have characters hang out, or deal with smaller conflicts.

It feels like a lot of stories just want to rush to the emotional scenes with barely any build up to really make it feel earned and satisfying. I've seen fans pester creators to rush the story along and reach the next big set piece rather than take the time to really know and appreciate the characters.

Why should I care about the emotional stakes in episode 2 when I barely know a character's likes and dislikes? how they handle conflict, their approach to relationships both platonic and romantic. etc,
