SPOILERS FOR 2.6 STORY CONTINUANCE QUEST
Dude, that’s just so messed up! Not even Ruan Mei of all people went that far!
Man, I think some people owe Ruan Mei an apology or two cause even tho she’s fucked up, she is not that fucked up where she goes to civilizations and devolve them to primitive beings.
Also he’s another Emanator of Erudition, WTF?!?! I thought that it’s just Herta! Dude, Genius Society is like fucked up in every sense, I’m not joking.
Also obligatory Mr Reca just to cool myself.
#rubi’s post#honkai star rail#hsr spoilers#rappa#dan heng#mr reca#but yes my point still stands#ruan mei is fucked up don’t get me wrong#I’m still mad how hsr devs never let the TB have the option to call ruan mei out#and the fact she tried to clone an emanator of propagation#and neglectful of her creations#but she wasn’t that messed up#and she did come around to liking her creations despite her obviously distant behaviour

Something worth mentioning from the flash sequence when the Trailblazer is about to enter the Dreamscape: we get glimpses of Misha and him crying out the name Mikhail.
In Russian, Misha is sort of like an affectionate nickname for the name Mikhail, an alternative spelling of Micheal. Makes me wonder if Misha is a name he inherited from another character named Mikhail, or if the person he's calling Mikhail is actually another version of him (sort of like the "memory loss"/potential shared body thing Acheron has going on).
Additionally: when you look into the religious ties that the name Micheal has, especially in Christianity... perhaps consider playing attention to this guy a little more.

what if the Trailblazer is the fifth member of the Stellaron Hunters
#honkai star rail#is this about kafstel? perhaps...#but actually for real because we KNOW TB had some kind of relationship with them before the whole. nuke baby thing#and apparently there's a FIFTH member?? despite the fact that we haven't seen SHIT about said member#which would be normal except we HAVE seen/heard about everyone else#elio is constantly mention the main trio shows up pretty damn consistently#so it's like.

Arw you really the author John Green? The same person who wrote The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska?
Yes, but I published one of those books 19 (?!?!?!) years ago and the other 12 (!?!?!?!?) years ago. What have I been up to since then?
My brother Hank and I started Good.store, which delivers high-quality socks, coffee, and soap to your home and donates 100% of its profit to charity. Through good store, we've raised over $7,500,000 to support efforts to radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone, where as recently as 2019, one in seventeen women could expect to die in pregnancy or childbirth.
(In fact, technically I am here on tumblr as an unpaid intern for the awesome coffee club, which you should really sign up for if you like ethically sourced coffee that tastes delicious and doesn't enrich billionaires.)
I wrote the novel Turtles All the Way Down and then had a little existential crisis and wrote a nonfiction book called The Anthropocene Reviewed, the latter of which is my first book for adults and my first attempt to write as myself.
I helped produce made a movie adaptation (streaming now on Max!) of Turtles all the Way Down.
I helped raise my kids and supported my spouse as she wrote her book You Are An Artist and created a PBS show about art called The Art Assignment.
I ran the educational media company Complexly and the merch company dftba.com while my brother had cancer.
I bought around 2% of a fourth-tier English football team called AFC Wimbledon. Wimbledon are different from most football clubs because they are owned by their fans, each of whom gets one vote in the club's leadership regardless of how much money they put into the club.
I became obsessed with tuberculosis, the world's deadliest infectious disease (it will kill over a million people this year despite being curable), and how TB both exemplifies and reinforces human-built structures of injustice, which is the subject of a book I'm writing that will come out next year.
#what i've been doing#since a lot of people are new here#which is a little terrifying#but we'll probably get through it#and if not i can always deactivate this account and start a new one#as one does#john green#coffee company

ok here are my absolute favorite occurrences from the 2.7 event mission where you decorate tb’s room. i literally don’t think i’ve had this much fun playing star rail since 2.0 😭 (spoilers beneath the cut!!)
-dan heng being a dumbass (fun fact- if you play it safe and just choose to clean it the regular way, march and tb eagerly help him out and pom-pom delays dinner. it’s so cute i crode
-dan heng being a dumbass (just a father not only condoning his son’s violent tendencies, but joining in. the astral express crew is so supportive)
-dan heng being a dumbass (the return of master dan heng is real!)
-trailblazer being a dumbass (featuring dan heng)
-dan heng being a bat (my vidyadhara lore loving ass is ecstatic about this btw. echolocation ftw)
-This Fucking Thing. Thanks March.
- ^^forgot to get a pic of this one but himeko being unable to lie to her family for the life of her, getting super nervous about it in a GAME even though she has to lie in serious situations all the time. i cried
-also, dan heng being REALLY smart.. not that it wasn’t obvious already, but the sheer amount of times it talked abt him publishing (mostly) widely-acclaimed papers?? about pretty varying subjects??? again, this isn’t new info, but it happened like. at least three different times in ONE event. and he got hate comments LMFAOOO dude is crazy. i want to read more of his stuff

Star Wars OC
Name: Fenix Realynn
Age: 25 (Clone Wars)
Height: 5'10
Force sensitivity: Decent
Ranking: Jedi knight
Light Saber color: Orange
Planet of origin: Naboo
Story: Fenix originates from the planet of Naboo. He was the son of a shopkeeper, always staying within his father's shop, cleaning the place. Until Fenix got stuck in the cross fire of a duel between a sith and a jedi. His father tried to protect him, but doing so caused him to die by the sith. Even though afterward the Jedi killed the sith, Fenix was traumatized and devastated. The Jedi took pity on the boy and took him in under his wing.
Over the years, Fenix grew up to be a Jedi knight, he had a friend and a new mentor after the jedi who took him in died. The new mentor was like Palpatine, fooling everyone into thinking they're good when in reality they're a sith and they're trying to convert Fenix to the dark side.
Fenix friend was close to him (I haven't decided on an occupation for him yet), but the two always went on missions together. Until one day on one mission, things looked bad, and the two were getting outnumber. Fenix asked for help, but suddenly, his friend abandons him, leaving him to die to save themselves. This wasn't intentional. They were running out of fear, but this was betrayal to Fenix.
Therefore, with the fear of the current war (the clone wars), the anger of his father's death, and the hatred of his friend's "betrayal", the persuasion of his mentor turned Fenix to the Dark side.
Appearance:
18-25 Jedi Knight -> 25 - ??? Sith
Fun Fact: He likes blue milk

Welcome back to Kaleesh Week! New hub blog this year: me, Accursed :)
Posting early to give time to the try-hards & the busy! Entries will not be reblogged until the week begins. Details under the cut!
What is Kaleesh Week?
Kaleesh Week is a week dedicated to the small but thriving subset of the Star Wars fandom that loves General Grievous and his people, the Kaleesh. Similar to much more well-known fandom celebrations such as Smaugust, Mermay, or Whumptober, Kaleesh Week can pertain to any medium of choice. Taking advantage of the fact that canon doesn't look over here to do whatever we want!
What are the rules?
The rules are simple, but should be followed to ensure the happiness of all participants and make my job as archivist easier!
Tag your stuff meant for the week with #kaleeshweek24 or #kaleeshweek2024 ! Tag @accursedkaleeshi additionally if you don't want me to miss it. I will be reblogging all the goods to my blog this year! (we still love TB, F in the chat. they aren't dead)
Any type of creation is allowed, whether art, fanfiction, gifs, videos, or anything else. As long as it's Kaleesh-related, there's no problem
Remember to properly tag all triggers
It isn't strictly necessary to follow along every day, this is meant to be fun! Post whenever you like, whether that's all seven days or just one. You can also post anytime after the week if you'd like
Alternate prompts can be used to mix and match in any way you'd like with the standard prompts, so go crazy
And last but not least, have fun!
What are the prompts, and what's the deal with alternate prompts?
The two lists of prompts a day are there to give any participants more freedom with whatever they'd like to create. The days are more of a guideline, as mentioned above. Go crazy, or for those of us with busy lives, freak it sensitive style in wild space. If you post only one thing of any effort whenever you can? You're participating fam! I will be reblogging your tagged posts when the week begins & beyond. pm me with any questions!
Prompts:
Color
Tusks
Tradition
Many
Food!
Fast
Nest
Alternate Prompts:
White
Teeth
Tech
One
Food?
Slow
Trees
Bonus Wildcard Prompt to swap with: Kaleeshi Hatsune Miku lol
I'd like to join the General Grievous Discord server! Where do I sign up?
If you'd like to come hang out with us at the Kaleeaboos server, simply PM me! We have all sorts of fun stuff going on, and a pretty chill vibe. I'm one of the mods there along with some other big names in the Grievous fandom. Come hang with us!
And finally, good luck, and have fun!

I Hate Androids
(Not really angst. It's more of a short story to move the driving plot. I'm sorry, Felix, for hurting you like this)
Peeps?: @doakarma @star-tb @oscarsgallery
Tsk, has that brat really returned to my hotel once again? Pathetic. Can't this kid just screw off and go to school instead of wasting my time and bothering me? What does this brat want this time? Trying to persuade me into making a business deal with him so he can take my money?
All the previous times he came here, it's been the same old begging every time. Sorry kid but I'm not giving you any of my money because you want to build more androids. I know what you're up to. His innocent little looks may fool everyone but me. I know that this kid is a sadist at heart. I can see it in his eyes.
I was sitting in my office, doing the same old boring paperwork, checking the time to see when I needed to feed the cats. But the little brat comes in, and I sigh. I noticed he had his little android with him all the time as well. What an emotionless machine.
"What do you want, kid? I thought I banned you from my hotel. You have 10 seconds to explain to me why you're here before I call security to kick you out." I said, obviously bored that this kid has returned.
The kid smirked before clasping his hands behind his back. "Actually, this time I'm not here for a business deal. In fact it's something completely this time." He said in a cheerful voice. My eyes narrowed. "Today I brought you a gift!"
He snapped his fingers, and a second android appeared next to the first android. I stood up and reached for my sword under my desk. What is this kid planning.
"What is the meaning of this?!" I yelled, suspicious of the two androids and the kid. The kid laughed, that sadistic laugh.
"It's a gift silly. A gift of letting my androids beat you up! You'll be the first among many to feel the true power of my creation!" He snapped his fingers again. "Androids after him!" The two and start to move towards me.
I bring out the sword and get in a defense stance. "You are making a foolish mistake here." I uttered which only made the kid laugh more.
"The only fool here is you." He grin, watching one of the androids get hit by my sword, only to do no damage. I back away.
I glance around the room, I wish I had a gun instead on me. Those things can't work as long as I stabbed them through the head.
I raised my sword again, dodging one of them while charging at the other. I jumped to stab it, but it grabbed by the blade with their hand and snapped it in half. My eyes widen. I realized two things. 1) I'm going to need to buy a new one. 2) I'm screwed.
The one android that I dodged earlier grabs me by the arms and swung me to the wall, hitting the fireplace. I could have died if my head hit the wrong spot. I groan and cough before the other android jammed a needle into my neck.
It was probably some sort of chemical because I could barely get up and the room felt dizzy. I was determining to not be beaten by machine's. But my vision was getting blurry, and I collapsed onto the ground.
I blacked out, only soon to wake up in a car with the androids taking me to the Prime Softwares HQ. Tsk, they were taking me hostage and they felt nothing about it. This is why I hate androids.
I didn't even get to feed the cats today either.

will stetson and i have a bone to pick
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR MAKING Going, Going, Gone THAT SONG MADE ME CRY AND BAWL MY EYES OUT.
ESPECIALLY THE LAST PART WHERE IT GOES, “i know i’ll dream about this moment ‘till im going, going—“
WILL YOURE SUCH A BXXCH FOR THAT. YOUR BEAUTIFUL GODDARN VOICE AND THE LYRICS AND GORGEOUS ART WILL PAY FOR THEIR SINS.
AND ALSO THE JOURNAL??? AND HOW IT GETS “RIPPED OUT” EVENTUALLY???1?1???1 i just wanna talk abt it bc like it had a bunch of things firefly wanted to do (its implied she wanted to do them before she dies: her bucket list) and at the end of the song she rips it out because she wants to do everything she wants to do to live, not do everything bc she’ll die.
also i wanna talk abt this frame, its the one that shows up in the parts where firefly is “ripping out” (ill get back to it) the pages of the bucket list journal. it shows during the lyrics,
“Let me stay awhile, stop the world from moving on / And I’ll cherish all the memories ‘til they’re going, going, gone”
and at first, i thought the top part was skirt folds from firefly’s outfit but after i rewatched it a few times, i realized they’re actually firefly’s bangs, and we’re basically looking through her eyes as she rips apart the journal and i just think thats such a powerful few seconds because it dips in focus a lot and shows just how emotional she is, how much hurt she feels about the hand she was dealt.
ok i described it as “ripping out” earlier but the way her hands are placed looks like shes just crumpling the paper, and doesnt actually plan on ripping them out, and i feel like theres so much nuance in that bc it shows that even though she holds the memories she made in bittersweet regard, she wouldn’t just reduce them to shreds in a fit of indignation. that conclusion is even further supported by the fact that we never see the notebook being ripped; this is the last time we ever see it (but lets not think about the implications that brings).
ok i also wanted to talk about these because the entire time, the mv is presented in an alternate universe where the characters go to school and arent, yk, traveling the cosmos. but we can still see how the trailblazer is wearing their iconic jacket and fingerless gloves, so it tells us that we’re back in the star rail universe we know and love. we also know that we’re in penacony when TB fights SAM for the first time bc of the fire around them and the scenery behind the TB. thats not the main point tho.
notice how there are green marks on the left photo; it looks like we’re looking at the trailblazer from SAM’s point of view, and the text saying “DESTROY” repeatedly means that SAM is going haywire. so perhaps, the mv’s story is meant to parallel the main story?
anyway my phone’s gonna die bye yall

you do realise no matter what everyone is going to project their own traits on Jensen in fact everyone does that to actors no matter their ranking. You are definitely not an exception to this and neither am I. and I have a few friends that worked on walker and a few that worked on TB and you will never guess the tea I heard about JP from them 🤭 but despite that I know that every actor bounces of each others character or other peoples characters. Whether you like it or not just accept it that actors just bounce off other peoples characters and that includes J2 as well.
You must be the same anon who sent in the ask about TB and your friend supposedly working there. As someone who actually knows people that have worked on both sets as actual professionals, I tend to call bullshit on your claims. Aside from this, extras and such can’t really have a clear picture of what is going on on set. It’s the showrunners, producers, actors and co stars that actually interact with the leads. Before making up false claims, at least do your research. The whole of Austin benefitted from Jared’s production.
Who said actors bounce off each other’s characters? What is the context, by the way? Again, do your research because you seem clueless and only aiming to start unfounded rumors.

Don't forget that tonight is the fifth episode of the new season of "Black Pean-2", starring Ninomiya Kazunari. The series airs on "TBS" at 21.00. p.m. on japanese time and 14.00 p.m. on european time. Don't miss it!
Amagi(Kazunari Ninomiya) brings an ending that no one expected.
Meanwhile, Amagi receives a request for an operation from Kizaki (Toshiaki Megumi), who runs a restaurant chain in South Korea. Saeki (Seiyo Uchino), who is worried about the enormous construction costs of the new hospital that Amagi is designing, proposes to Amagi that he accept the operation on the condition that he invests 5 billion yen in the new hospital. Amagi immediately flies to Korea to conduct a chance sample.
Kizaki accepts the conditions and wins the chance sample with Amagi, and is admitted to a special room at Tojo University to undergo surgery. At the same time, Seo-hyun (Choi Ji-woo) also comes to Dongseong University for post-surgery tests and runs into Kizaki. In fact, Kizaki and Seohyun are rivals, and Kizaki has bought all the stores that Seohyun gave up due to surgery at a low price, and is also aiming for the remaining first store.
Seohyun hates Kizaki for expanding his business through dirty tricks, and suggests to Amagi not to do the operation. However, where does the wind blow in Amagi?
However, it turns out that Kizaki is connected to Sugai (Yasunori Danda) behind the scenes...

I watched this television broadcast on BBC2 last night.
Although Queen guitarist Brian May had little knowledge of the facts when he began his campaign against the badger cull, he has been proved right (in my opinion).
"What does a rock star know...?" Actually, after nine years of research he knows much more than most farmers do!
Cattle have to be regularly tested for bovine-Tuberculosis. Any cows ho show a reaction to the current skin test for the infection are murdered... I mean shot humanely. BUT... the current "skin test" for b-TB is less than 30% efficient. With the help of a dairy farm in Devon, Brian May showed that the most effective way to test for b-TB is by checking their anal excretions. And the most likely spread of b-TB is via cow slurry.
I bought the neighbouring dairy farm in Dorset for all the wrong reasons! It was running at a loss with 67 elderly milk producing cows... and all the milking parlours, barns and sheds needed immediate renovation/replacement. It cost me a bloody fortune!!
We are now working with a university Wales to investigate this matter further... and try to find an effective vaccine fir cattle

Yesterday’s 18/06/24 Updated: I have only once corrected the titles/texts in the picture and even in the description of my deviation in term of the style name from the “Tim Burton” or “Burtonized as for me in a rather erroneous and very mistakable way to “Carlos Grangel” or “Grangelized”, which is, according to my current assumption, as more correctable and accurate on the fact that Eliot’s original look seems to be more or semi similar to Carlos Grangel’s style than TB’s.
My old artwork I made in some February 2022 of my Corpse Bride next-gen/Roaring 20's/Star Heart OC, Eliot Hotchhive, with two different and structural styles of him relative to the under drag line of material from the cartoonized and full-Grangelized to semi-Grangelized version. However, in terms of Eliot in fully but functional Carlos Grangel style, he is in fact more or less depicted as his maternal great-uncle, although his own personality is still characterized as his shy uncle and warm-hearted aunt; and on the right side of the kindly cartoony/non-Grangelized/my own originality version of Eliot - ah man, he is so much more unique and miraculous with thick arms and legs, but even as I guessed his appearance, he actually reminds me of Cogsworth from the Beauty and the Beast and Jacob Kowalski from Fantastic Beasts (a film version based on a screenplay and a textbook by J. K. Rowling), so honestly, it's better for me to reference them on him as similarity than immediately XD.
So, enjoy 🧡💛✨.
Art, Eliot (My OC in the original human version) are belongs to me (C)
All Mentioned characters from the Corpse Bride are belongs to Tim Burton/Warner Bros. Pictures/Laika Studios/Patalex II Productions (C)

Annnnnd here's Retro's boyfriend!
Leon and Retro are so cute oh my stars-
More about Leon vvv
Basically Leon was made just for Retro, Nightmare had Killer and Cross make him, and literally just hoped the two would be friends so then Leon could convince Retro to join TBS(The Bad Sanses)
Leon always knew that, his father, Cross told him just a little before he met Retro, he knew he was just a pawn for a sick game and once he's done doing his part, he would be killed, but little did NM know is that, in some way Leon would protect Retro before he could do anything
(A little note, Leon wants to marry Retro)
Fun fact: Leon is a little brat to everyone but Retro, and takes Retro out to cute little dates and buys xem things like ice cream and small cheap toys

At Times Like These--
--we have only each other.
This past weekend was a blur but my exhaustion is worth it.
I splurged and saw the matinee on Sunday and well as the final show.
First, Andrew Kober as Beetlejuice for the matinee. He is AMAZING. It felt like watching the show for the first time again. People have their favorites and fans like us can appreciate the differences all the understudies put into the role, but Kober is the second best Beej. Full stop. He has a fantastic mix of desperation and manic energy, with an underlying menace that, ngl, Alex sort of lost as the show went on.
During the matinee there was audience participation I haven't heard ever happening:
Kober says his line, "All I want is for someone, anyone to look my way and say “Hey."
Couple of audience members say loudly, "Hey!"
Kober continues, "I see you."
More audience, "I see you!"
Kober, "I accept you."
More audience, "I accept you!"
Kober, "And I fear for my safety around you.”
All of the audience, "And I fear for my safety around you!"
Kober, pauses. Then, "Nope. Didn't work."
We, the entire audience, lost.our.minds.
Now. The closing show ...
Fucking hell. I mean that in the best possible way.
Standing ovations from the beginning. For every actor.
It took so long for Alex to even drop the newspaper. He tapped his foot. He leaned back (allllll the way back) to lean on the coffin. He got on the floor. Then, and only then, did he drop the paper to renewed enthusiastic applause.
Every actor played along with their rightfully deserved ovation and applause during their entrances. It was so heartwarming.
I know everyone has seen all the "what happened during the last performance" posts that people are doing, but NO ONE has mentioned these things:
1) at the end of the TBS reprise, Alex ran up the stairs with a clone and started aggressively making out with them as the set changed
2) when Adam stops him from murdering Charles and goes into his "you have groped me, etc" speech, Alex made these increasingly feral, increasingly loud snarling noises like he was getting ready to scrap (. . . or screw)
3) during the Adam and Beej kiss, it went hard. Alex groped David's ass and pretended to dip a finger between his ass cheeks/shove a finger in him, then smelled his finger when David was pulled away. Then he stalked after David for more before Kerry grabbed him.
(I know I am looking at all that though the lens of a smut writer, but hoooo boy.)
Alex Timbers' speech was nice, but not allowing anyone else to say anything?! Fuck whoever made that decision. Alex was actively walking forward for the mic when the curtain stared coming down. He and Elizabeth looked surprised, so they weren’t told about it, obviously, which is unfortunate and understandably upsetting. Here is someone who had been active with the show since 2017 helping to make it what it became plus a new star that embraced (and was embraced by) the fandom, to the point she cracked during the very last word of the show, and they were denied? I'd heard from reliable sources that other cast members had some things prepared as well, and they didn't get the chance to say anything either. It was just abrupt and crushed the energy that had been wild up till then.
This show has meant so much to so many people, including myself. Alex Timbers told us what we already knew: Over a million people saw Beetlejuice on Broadway. That the audience for Beetlejuice was statistically younger than the average for Broadway shows. That Beetlejuice was the first Broadway show for a huge number of audience members. That the fact that fans were so engaged and active that we helped bring it back from the dead. We said his name three times, and Beetlejuice returned for a real send off, one the show deserved, to 1600 adoring Netherlings.
