#the correlation I mean

I think it would be really funny if fashion trends in ghost city mirrored the style of their beloved shapeshifter chengzhu’s most recent appearance. Whatever he wears? That’s what’s IN right now. It would also be funny if they always got it like. Slightly wrong. Chengzhu is wearing a long coat today! Long clothing MUST be the most fashionable. If your coat isn’t down the whole block, it isn’t in! The longer the better! Chungzhu is wearing hoop earrings today? Of course big rings are all the rage these days. Put them on your ears, your nose, your fingers, hell put them on your whole body! On your house! On your dog! The bigger the better! Look, he even gave a ring to grandunc—I mean his wife!!! If you don’t have one, you’re gonna look SO last week. Chungzhu’s wearing black today? Of course that’s the best color. Didn’t you know? If you aren’t wearing black, you’ll probably explode by at least tomorrow I think. That’s what I heard, anyway. Is it what? True? Hey don’t shoot the messenger, that’s just how it is. “I thought he was last seen wearing white and a ponytail” where did you hear that? And they heard it was blue? Black was last week? That can’t be right! Whatever….both is fine. I’m not taking any chances and you shouldn’t either.

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

Happy Fakie Friday! Today I'd like to talk about my personal definition of what makes a toy a "fakie", as I've had people bridle (hee hee) at some of my Fakie Friday picks in the past.

First, let's talk about what doesn't define a fakie.

A fakie doesn't have to be a bootleg (though they can be).

A fakie doesn't have to be made by an unknown, fly-by-night company. Remco was founded in 1949, Buddy L's toy division was founded in 1921.

A fakie doesn't have to have incomprehensible or poorly designed packaging.

A fakie doesn't have to be a poor quality or poorly thought out toy.

Okay, so what IS a fakie?

Fakies aren't about non-Hasbro horse toys being "bad" and Hasbro horse toys being "good"; it's about how impactful the My Little Pony brand is. Even in the years where the toyline was completely dormant, your average joe would look at a rainbow horse with a heart on its bum and think "My Little Pony."

^ This horse in Hercules isn't proportioned like a MLP at all but in the Year of Our Lord 1997 everyone was talking about "the scene where Pegasus was almost seduced by a My Little Pony." (Though the pink horse was actually the bad guys in disguise.)

I love fakies! But no matter how innovative and high quality are, they cannot escape being compared to the platonic ideal: a Real My Little Pony.

So here is my ultimate test of whether a toy horse is a fakie:

Throw away its packaging. Lose all its accessories. Toss it in a baggie with random small toys and hang it on a hook in Savers, Value Village, or Goodwill.

If your elderly relative who knows nothing about toys points out the baggie and says to you, the collector: "Oh, here's one with a My Little Pony in it", then it's a fakie. ;)

answering this one oldschool style: I was watching westworld with my friends so this iteration of all of them is western themed, but I cant recall if anything specific from that was part of the inspo? Polly has always been the quiet freaky one to pair with Castors chattier self. They're both usually mercs/bounty hunters/hunting dogs that "answer to" Croc The polly pictured here is the Silent Sniper sort, their poncho is all fabric cut from targets clothes stitched together and with nicely embroidered/embellished bullet holes. Trophy! Here's another pic of them that I apparently never posted here?? More nicely done up

Ok but we been knew Aaravos is gigantic, but I really reeeeaally love the detail that it was Aaravos's tears that filled the crater. Reminds me of a bunch of Southeast Asian myths where it isn't 'spells' and 'dark magic' per se but a bunch of giants doing regular things like cry or spilling and throwing stuff that shape the world we live in

Why am i now thinking about the possible correlation between the cybertronians' dynamic with the Quintessons and the popularity of tentacle porn scenarios on cybertronian pornography sites😭😭😭

[the-mpreg-guy]

the hill that i will die on is that cas would have never said he loved dean if he had to deal with the consequences of it afterwards, meanwhile dean (who was SUPPOSED to tell cas he loved him in the original crypt scene script) would have eventually worked up to saying it without external pressure

[anthyies]

this is my most literally just based on being a hater comics opinion btw

[transrevolutions]

weird thing I noticed: a not-insignificant amount of magnus protocol episodes have inconsistent titling when it comes to official title vs. transcript document title vs. title listed on the transcript itself. the other thing I noticed (through the power of spreadsheeting) is that there is a very strong correlation between episodes having a mistitle and episodes having no audio glitches specifically.

realistically speaking I give this about a 99% chance of meaning nothing and literally just being a random coincidence. but I'm gonna point it out regardless.

guys, i don’t know what GBA is planning to do with those Greek letters, but it can’t be good.

[looks at my hands like a grizzled horrified detective in one of those movies] have i not... been enough of a freak? Have I failed? does everyone think I'm a normie? is this my declan at film club era? I must think of something insane to say... to reclaim my throne... oh! yes! mor and niall were for sure first cousins and this explains everything about their dynamic AND greywaren and I can tell because I live in first cousin marriage central and it's like a very specific Vibe (unpleasant) when you see one so this is genuinely so canon to me it's not even worth talking about

It really is a shame that the only sonic games I can think of where silver had a prominent role in the plot are arguably the two worst games in recent memory: 06 and forces

Idk much about him yet but I get the feeling bro deserves better

[yuttikkele]

i hc that nico robin and damian wayne are the prettiest fictional characters. like, in their universes ig? which canonically isn't true for either, but in my mind it is. they are just cool like that

[the-one-who-lambs]

I'm in a mood to go over and organize my fic playlist for the risen lamb and the fallen god so if you have any recommendations. please send them my way.

[stuckinapril]

Bestie, what do I do if I'm half in love with my manager who is both very straight and just got engaged?

i was gonna make a joke but I think I’ll be genuine for this one — I think you should realize it’s energetically unfavorable to obsess/ruminate over someone who’s not spending nearly half as much time or energy over you. and their sexuality aside, if they’re already engaged then they’re very much concerned w somebody else… it should turn u off to be into someone who’s not into u back, not make u chase them even more. It should be a turnoff if someone isn’t into u like that, period, regardless of what context there is. It should be the most revolting thing in the world. like u should find it so incredibly repulsive

From the people who brought you: "Android detectives can't cook!" comes the concept: "Hank has a horrible food palate!"

He's happy to try anything once.
