If you are currently, then de-select them and make sure they're updated and re-enable them. IT WILL WORK. There's no "it won't work" when you do this. It's either a 1 or a 0. Either a yes or no. Either a "it will work" or an "I am not using the adblocker correctly".

How likely do you think it is that Mario and Luigi Brothership has any sort of direct reference to the movie, and how would you feel if they actually did that?

I wouldn't bank on a direct reference, but I know that Nintendo and Illumination worked pretty close together on the film, with Shigeru Miyamoto himself acting as co-producer. Given the huge success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, I'm thinking Nintendo is taking measures to very subtly make the games and the film reflect each other.

What happened with the cover of Princess Peach Showtime comes to mind:

Say what you will about the design change in and of itself, but you can't deny that whatever happened there was influenced by the movie.

I think something similar (but much more subtle) might have happened here:

It's easy to see how that pose might have been based on that shot from the film, but it's also nothing so drastic that people who are only familiar with the games are going to feel out of the loop. Or perhaps it's just a coincidence. Who knows, really.

If there does end up being a direct reference to the movie in "Mario and Luigi: Brothership"? I'd be thrilled. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is the thing that got me hyperfixated in the first place, so I'm always going to be on board with references to it.

Hi, fairly new fan of asoiaf here. What does the valyrianscrolls tag mean?

It's a tag that @joannalannister and I suggested some years ago that the ASOIAF fandom use as a whitelist to distinguish posts with book-only content. Because the #asoiaf and #a song of ice and fire tags regularly get flooded with show-related posts (which at the time -- between GOT S7 & S8 -- was incredibly annoying and getting worse every damn day), and because even #asoiafedit -- a tag meant for book-only edits, if sometimes using show footage -- also just became just another tag for show-only edits, sigh.

Mind you, with tumblr introducing their own tag blacklist system (which is very good) leading to a dramatic decrease in the use of blackist addons like Tumblr Savior (which has its own issues since its dev makes really bizarre options standard) and the deprecated New Xkit (Xkit Rewritten doesn't even have a blacklist feature), the use of whitelists has also decreased dramatically. But the ASOIAF fandom community on tumblr keeps on using the #valyrianscrolls tag for book-only content, which warms my heart every day.

kinda awkward how some of the mouthwashing fandom treat post-crash curly,,,, yalls hes a grown man thats been through bodily trauma. he does NOT need those buttons that dogs/cats use. thats just kinda.... weird.

also, the tiktoks ive seen of curly are either pre-crash curly being eye candy or post-crash curly being a tiny creature that gets held like a cat by like. jimmy or anya. like why do that. why make him Tiny. why him seem even more defenseless than he already is. whats the point of that.

(this is a generalization, i know most arent like this; but the small things stick out when theyre so... *gestures vaguely in a /neg way*)

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

Unmasked and bare he stood and gazed upon this world consumed by raging storms. His reflection stared at him with eyes so stern at the figure of a fragile man with a mind so strong but the flesh so humble. The task ahead near insurmountable that a man no longer he shall be. For his desires and the future he foresees a stalwart idol he must become to defend from all the lies and things depraved. He shall destroy himself to do what no one dared - to fight for an Empire unmarred.

have you seen ticinoteuthis chuchichäschtli the tintenfischart

«Zuerst haben wir uns überlegt, die Art nach einem Kollegen zu benennen», sagte Christian Klug vom Paläontologischen Institut der UZH gegenüber der Nachrichtenagentur Keystone-SDA. «Aber das Fossil ist so unansehnlich, dass wir das niemandem antun wollten.» Stattdessen tauften sie den Tintenfisch deshalb auf den Namen «Ticinoteuthis chuchichaeschtli».

One of these days I'm going to figure out when 瞳 (hitomi) is supposed to be referring to someone's eyes and when it's supposed to be referring to someone's pupils, because slitted/narrowed eyes and slitted pupils have two different connotations, did you narrow your eyes or do you have cat eyes? This is important information okay

hello new teeny tiny fic tonight if i can shut the fuck up and get to the point

[rhythm-of-space]

Sorry but I just need josh to straddle my lap so I can grab him by his hips and rock him back and forth ever so slightly and gaze up to see him bite his lip and smirk as he moves and want to talk about his day as if what's happening isn't happening and he isn't getting harder with each pass etc etc

A summary of today:

Surely taking our big homemade sledge (wooden board attached to skiis) down this big hill that we didn't ever sledge down for some reason (covered in rocks, we forgot in our excitement) with all three of us sat on it will end well (one broken leg)

fics in progress??

yeah! If we're defining WIPs as "fics I have at least written something more than notes down for and haven't fully abandoned yet", then I have 5 rn. and I just started one of them on Monday.
