If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

People talking about how Telemachus is written too young and "his song is more fitted to a 13 year old than a 20 year old" is both really funny and also kinda depressing.

There’s actual reasons - in Ancient Greece 20 year old men, while certainly not considered children, also weren't thought of as adults but instead youths. Admiteddly this a more atens leaning take, but even in Sparta men weren't allowed to hold political positions until they turned 30.

In a more modern take, as a 20 year old this is exactly how my peers act and feel. The vast majority of people in their early twenties have no idea what the hell they're doing.

Obviously not so much a tumblr problem - aged demographic and all - but also both really funny and a little sad to see on tiktok. Yes 14 year old, even at 20 you will be yearning to be Great with no idea how to do so.

Bless that trophy wife anon because they’re right. There’s no way mindscape citizens see whatever dipper does in the real world as a real career and he has no job in bill’s realm either, whether he likes it or not he’s entwined with bill’s world and his people and he can’t blame them for thinking his job is being bill’s husband.

That’s what pisses him off, the fact that they’re right.

No matter how Dipper protests that yes, he DOES have a job, the beings in the Fearamid don't believe it's 'real', or worse - humor him, then give Knowing Looks to the other demons in the room.

Meanwhile, Bill knows it's real - but sometimes he plays along like it isn't just to piss Dipper off.

I want to write some stuff for this but am actively nodding off so y'all just get an info dump before I forget it instead. (My baby loftwing being all fluffed and happy on my chest is not helping me focus lol)

Anyway! Miphlink baby!

I think it would be pretty neat if he was hard of hearing. The mix of Hylian/Zora genes mostly goes fine, but that's the one thing that just gets him. Part of it is because Zora and Hylian ears are different - Zora ears are small openings hidden under the side fins on their heads, and we all know about Hylian ears. Zora rely on different hearing sensors when underwater, hollowed out structures in their heads that allow, essentially, for echolocation. Miphlink baby is born with Hylian ears tucked behind thinner side fins, no structures for echolocation, and not the best hearing. So Link and Mipha have to sign with him most of the time, though he does hear a little better underwater since sound travels better underwater.

While Mipha's color scheme for her scales is like crystla red and creamy white, baby's color scheme is a lighter shade of red paired with Link's skin tone. He doesn't have claws, either, but he does have sharp incisors. He's got his dad's blue eyes.

As for size, when he's full grown he'll stand around the height of an adult Hylian man, so he'll be taller than his dad but short by Zora standards (I figure Mipha seems pretty short for her people's standards too - she is a teenager, of course, but like... she's shorter than Link. Girl is tiny). He's got the structural fins like any Zora, but his body proportions are those of a Hylian (longer legs, shorter torso, whereas Zora are shorter legs and longer torso).

He grows at a rate similar to Hylians - Zora age twice as slow as Hylians until they hit adulthood, and then they just... are adults for a million years. But Miphlink baby grows roughly at the rate of a Hylian, maybe a little slower, and the rest of the Domain is just floored at how fast this kid is hitting his growth milestones.

He definitely has that cute "head tail is too big for his body" thing going on that Sidon had <3

the other day i walked around the golden lake w my love and the sun was setting hot and orange and we watched a brown duck preening through the weeds, ducking her head under the dark water. the cool lake swallowed up my tired feet to the ankles and we counted the dog walkers with their curly panting doodles and their handsome german shepherds and their whip smart little terriers and we admired the careful construction of a sand castle whose moat held determinedly against the lapping of the waves. we could feel in our chests the persistent thunderous thumping of celebratory music at the finish line of the lakeside 5k, welcoming each gasping runner across its bounds. and i felt like crying. i felt like curling into myself and crying. we walked through the swamp of the bird sanctuary afterwards and listened to the woods sing and croak and groan and then we went and got ube and yuzu gelato and devoured it suntired and sweating on the couch in our living room. and i was so overcome w a deep and true unshakeable happiness and a sort of confused grief that i wanted to sob and sob and sob.

i sometimes think that gojo would be a terrible terrible backseat gamer but then i think about geto.... and i take it back. i think sugu would make an awful backseat gamer lmao.

he means well though!!!!! ari n i talked a while back about how he can be a bit pretentious when it comes to films and i feel like the same energy would be with cames too... he isn't even properly paying attention to your game, he's reading or smth and he'll still make the occasional comment of you missed a thing or no, because you've been here already. bro you are not helping😒😒😒 when you don't understand your objective, he tends to tease you mercilessly before either helping you out or telling you why would i know? i'm not the one playing the game, sweetheart. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 and when you kick him with your foot from the other side of the couch he just laughs..... if you tell him that he's being mean, he just kisses your temple as a reply?????????

i think satoru would definitely also point out loot in the beginning but when you tell him that you in fact see the same things he does, he holds back on it. he learns when to actually point things out, calling out for enemies when he he sees you focus on something else and he'll only point out the loot when you've already gone passed it. i think he gets super into the games no matter whether he's the one playing or not; he's laying on his stomach, head resting on his palms and feet swinging in the air as he dives into the story of the game. he's listening to intently and his eyes are so big, it's like he's in the game. he's super curious too, always asking questions whenever he doesn't understand something and it's really fucking endearing how into it he gets.

he definitely praises you whenever you do well too!!! at first he probably does it very over the top, just for the fun of it but the longer you two game together, the easier he lets the praise slip from his lips. it comes very naturally. you killed a boss? i'm so proud of you baby<3 you did a puzzle? you're so smart baby<3 you completed a level without dying? you're so good baby<3

gets super ampted during your boss fights btw!!!!! this is his moment – now he can freely point out the loot and call out enemies because you have bigger things to worry about!!! team work makes the dream work baby<33333 and when you finally win? oh, he's jumping up with you, he's taking you in his arms, spinning you around, yelling, screaming, kissing you stupid and you have to take a minute after all that to continue with the game he's just thee best hypeman in the world!!!

Just read the ‘making of’ behind the scenes regarding the second season of House of the Dragon.

Taken from r/houseofthedragon

In between this, Eric Kripke’s gross behavior in regards to assault on The Boys, and, well, the behavior of the staff running the last season of The Bad Batch….

…I’m convinced it’s a combination of glue huffing, hubris, nepotism, and low bars that get people hired to write shows these days. I’m not even talking about The Witcher, which violated the Geneva convention with how much the writing gave fans physical pain.

Christ, during my dissertation process, I got annihilated by my committee over each word choice. I had to get rid of whole chapters*. I had to write memo after memo about chunks of word selections.

It was hard and brutal.

Still, I ended up with a PhD, and my work ended up being published in different journals when all was said and done. It was solid.

Why don’t mainstream writers deal with this?! FUCK!

*= I ended up taking one, polished it up, and sent it to a publisher. It’s now a chapter in a major textbook so there’s fucking that.

[skcirthinq]

*me like. A few months ago?* Oh, I sure did enjoy @amevello-blue and @alicat54cwriting 's Double Rainbow series. I should check out other stuff they've written.

*me now, with like. 20 sketchbook pages filled* Y'all there's like. So many babies. And the gay-ass rabbit and the gay-ass turtle and the aroace-ass turtle who apparently can't see an unaccompanied child without adopting them. And the other turtle who can be described similarly. And the goths!

So anyways. I read Pawn's Gambit, loved it, filled a few pages just for that fic....

In no particular order, so spoilers ahead, obviously.

Assorted scenes from the fic! Everyone's fine! See, Sheldon's even fine! That's not Hamato ghost bs at all, ignore Gram Gram and oh fuck that's Sister Kraang.

And even worse.

Bishop.

Yeah, so if any of the sketches piqued your interest, go read Pawn's Gambit! There's context, I promise!
