really funny to think that no matter the AU, it's the exact same cast performing the exact same characters in The Boy in the Iceberg. just like the Gaang is fated to save they world, they're fated to play them in a terrible adaption of their adventures.
#there's a few exceptions obviously#in the zuko time travel au for example. 'zuko' is still played by the same actor#but 'li' is a new one.#this is. in fact. yet another example of li altering the timeline#yes this DOES mean that toph is still played by the buff guy version of herself in the toph time travel au

male character gets turned into a female and it shows him the experiences his female friends go through and it teaches him to be better? incredible fic, i'd so read it.
male character gets turned into a female and everyone around him starts treating him gentler and fussing over him and he suddenly becomes super emotional? ew. what are you doing. thats a de-aging fic. not a gender-swap. being a women doesn't make you weaker or more emotional or more in need of protecting.
#thats why i hate genderbend fics because why do you make a dude a girl and suddenly hes incapable of doing anything himself#“batmom would be a better parent” SHUT UP WHY DO YOU THINK THAT? WHY DOES A VAGINA MAKE BRUCE BETTER AT PARENTING WEIRDO#obviously not every fic does this i've actually read a few really good ones but jesus they're rare#i think the only exception to this is if its an all one gendered family? like a family of dudes and one gets turned into a girl#then it makes sense for them to freak out because they dont have any?#but in the batfamily that makes no sense because CASS STEPH BABS ARE RIGHT THERE. FEMALES ARE NOT A NEW PHENOMINOM TO THEM.#dc comics#dc universe#batman comics#batfamily#batfam#genderbend#genderswap#fanfiction#fanfiction icks#how is that not a tag#reading icks#ohhh there we go

here's a question I'm asking for totally no ulterior reasons
By usually, I mean what's the method you use the Most. What really works for ya. If you've only got like, one guy in there named after blorbo from your shows, don't count that Guy sdghSKJGH
this has nothing to do with me struggling to name 3 dragons rn. not in the slightest
#poll#flight rising#for me personally. I do kind of a mix of random syllables and words/phrases in other languages#i look up ''[word] in other languages'' and then i just start smashing syllables together from what comes up#with a few exceptions obviously (patience . crimson. watermelon)#but. USually there's some mix and matching happening there#don't ask me what words those syllables came from Now. because I assure you I do not remember

i knew he wore this doublet a lot, but damnnn he really was wearing it throughout the whole series (episodes are 1x08, 2x03, 3x02, 3x08, and 3x09— and no, 3x08 & 3x09 are not the same day or i would’ve also included 2x04)
#text#the borgias#cesare borgia#parallels#mel talks#the only obviously colored doublet we ever see him in#technically there are a few dark brown ones and there’s a navy blue with some teal detailing in s1#but unless you’re really staring they pretty much all look black#except this one#which even at a quick glance you can tell is red with black and purple detailing

Hey. Listen. No really, look at me and listen, please.
Cast iron and stainless steel cookware are not like non-stick. They require different methods of cleaning, and there IS a learning curve.
Unless you've been taught how to use them, when you first try, you're probably going to have a rough time. Maybe your food sticks or burns, idk.
That is NOT a sign that your cookware is defective. Ignore whatever the packaging said about it being non-stick. Yes, with time and practice, you'll have far fewer instances of things sticking, but if your good sticks at first, stay calm.
You need to practice and look for tips based on your exact issue (eg, food burning) and type of cookware (eg, cast iron).
Also, you probably need oil.
#almost every negative review I've seen for stainless pans has been from someone who obviously had never cooked with it before#and were enraged because it didn't behave like their non stick stuff had#and i am so tired omg please just have a little patience and practice#it took me like 2 years of cooking with stainless a few times each week to get it to work almost every time without issue#and i think i was doing that on hard mode anyway because i was almost exclusively cooking eggs over medium lmao#i made pancakes earlier this year! in a stainless skillet!#i couldn't cook pancakes on ANYTHING except the ceramic coated cast iron griddle pan we had like 10 years ago (it cracked; i was devastated)#my pancakes for most of my life were either undercooked or burned and almost always stuck to the pan and fell apart#(except for those like 3-4 years when we had that griddle may it r.i.p)#but i made gluten free fucking pancakes in a stainless steel 8 inch skillet a few months ago and it was one of the best moments of my life#you gotta give yourself time to adjust to cooking with it#and imo even if you're used to cast iron you need to adjust to stainless because there is a difference#i have too many thoughts about this ugh#brought to you by me shopping for a 10 inch ss skillet with a lid please because i only have an 8 inch and a 3 inch deep 10 or 12 inch pan#and that bigger one is really awkward and doesn't have a lid

originally had a super long multi paragraph ramble about this written out but then realized i did not have to say all that . anyway . i think that the reason some little animal guy sonic characters have last names while most others just go by (name) the (species) has to do with cultural differences... the fact that the characters with last names are also the same characters who have more human sounding first names makes me think that they were born in an area that had a large human population, or that their parents or grandparents were, so their family was influenced by human naming practices
#that or their parents are two different animals and they have traits from both so they just go by a last name for simplicitys sake#that headcanon is kinda taken from archie sonic btw there are a few archie characters who have parents that are different animals#and iirc they all use last names rather than species names#though those characters tend to only inherent one parents species rather than looking like a combination of both#obviously these reasonings wouldnt apply to everyone there would still be exceptions . like shadow#who was created by humans and exclusively interacted with humans before the events of sa2 but still goes by shadow the hedgehog#though i feel like hes a special case because the robotnik last name would probably raise a lot of questions#or make people wanna start digging around in his private business. so maybe he just doenst use that name publicly#because he doesnt feel like dealing with all that. or maybe he chooses to not use it as a way of not living in the past all the time. idk#Hiii im the number one guy who thinks way too much about random sonic worldbuilding stuff that doesnt matter

the thing with elder scrolls characters is like. idk if I can call a great deal of them "badly" written they just happen to be interesting characters with well-crafted themes inherent to them who the writers subsequently forgot to do literally anything with even though it would have been so so easy to
#obviously with some exceptions like some of the more significant oblivion npcs and a select few skyrim characters#but like. come on

the thing with the "Dhawan is before Missy" theory is a lot of people suggest it because they're unhappy with what they see as the unexplained reversal of Missy's character arc, while a lot of the people who are against the theory like Dhawan's characterisation and believe the progression from Missy to Dhawan actually does make sense
meanwhile I don't like the theory or Dhawan's characterisation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#worst of both worlds for me alas#but the theory really doesn't make sense to me (Simm in TDF is so obviously leading to Missy in S8) and I don't like out of order meetings#(with a few exceptions like River for example whose whole character is built around that)#Ranger yells about the Master#Ranger shut up about Doctor Who#DW criticism

#in today's drama: the norwegian cycling federation is so broke they can't afford to send a team to euros#so they've cut a deal with uno-x to fund the national team at that race#great right?#except the roster that came out a few days ago is ENTIRELY uno-x riders and the ds will seemingly also be from uno-x#and the thing is uno-x has been super open about doing this bc they want the uci points for their wt bid next year#and the alternative is seemingly that norway just doesn't send a team which is obviously not great#but um. a few conflict of interest bells are ringing here. just a few.#and like euros this year will probably be a sprint so kristoff is their best option anyway#but imagine being hagenes or foss and getting selected (though they weren't) for euros to represent your country#only to find out that you're basically riding for a trade team disguising itself as a national team

its kind of funny to me that in the comics supergirl kind of occupies the spot for like the edgy superman. which is kind of weird for her typical role as kid sidekick to superman because her thing as a character (at least the versions of her character that i like) is that she doesn't have a reason to help anybody and doesn't like earth. edgy superman. but she's also the kid sidekick. strange juxtaposition
#it obviously depends on which comic you're reading#cause like there are completely different versions of supergirl depending on which version we're talking about#there's like 3 different supergirls with 5 different backstories#there's the one where she's a kind of slime goop that mimics the form of a girl--that was matrix#that was the version from the 80s that continued into the 90s--the weird run that had like angels and demons and stuff#god that one was weird#then there was the main one which is kara zor el but she has like 3 different backstories on her own#there's the argo city one which is truly horrible where like she watches thousands of people die in front of her#that one was most recently used in the supergirl woman of tomorrow comic written by the vile tom king at least as far as i'm aware#then there was the pod version (the more popular one) which has two variations on its own#variation one was that she's actually older than superman but got stuck in suspended animation for like 25 years#and variation two where she's just younger than him and i don't know how that works#of course the argo backstory is also the pod backstory they're not incompatible#it does beg the question of which you think is more tragic:#waking up one day to find out everyone you ever knew is dead and gone or watching them all die slowly in front of you#anyway the third super girl is power girl who is super girl except older so she's power girl because they didn't do a 2 spider man thing#this is easy to follow right#oh right and apparently they made a completely new backstory for her in my adventures with superman though i never watched that#because i still have to finish the supergirl cw show which is ANOTHER version of her character where she's 24 instead of a teenager#which sounds like a small thing but it literally turns her into a completely different character#i mean like powergirl is a completely different character isnt she#what was i talking about? right i kind of liked new 52 supergirl at least the first few issues#i really liked the disorientation of “where am i who are these people where's my family” she goes through#shame it kind of sucked#i'm probably not going to finish the CW show by the way. i'll probably give up halfway through season 3 if we're being optimistic

Ok there are a lot of things I don't understand about Wilbur and Dream's interactions, but one of the main things that I don't quite get is the whole breaking into the prison and burning the disks with Tommy , like ok why was Wilbur so convinced that by threatening to kill himself he was gonna make Dream do what ever he wants ( burn the disks)
And well we can say that Dream was just agreeing to whatever the hell the wanted because he wanted them out of his living room ( and because he didn't need the disks) but like ,Wilbur didn't know that, what made him so sure that Dream wanted him alive especially after the prison break ( Dream didn't need his help anymore) to the point that he thought he could use it ( his life ) as leverage
Did Dream want to keep Wilbur alive, if so, then why? I don't know man, seems like the only person that would be losing in this situation is Wilbur himself.
I got more questions but like this is what confuses me the most. Idk just don't get it
Honestly I'm going to assume you know about these reddit posts, but while like I think that people should be able to draw their own conclusions to a text without strictly subscribing to what is said by the authors, like, cc!Dream and cc!Wilbur did give explanations behind what happened in this stream that I think are worth checking out: x x
A lot of people perceived cc!Wilbur's comment specifically as speaking for c!Dream in a way that was uninformed and therefore dismissed the post, which I think is...unwise? Like, cc!Wilbur literally says that he's posting from the perspective of his character's thought process, not an out of character word of god on what c!Dream actually values and believes. Further, he literally clarifies that his character isn't entirely correct and is an unreliable narrator.
But looking between the posts and looking at c!Dream's behavior, I mean. What we can say, rather definitively, that c!Wilbur was right about is that c!Dream didn't want to lose that feeling that he had leverage over c!Wilbur. Like, he's pretty damn desperate not to lose it, actually. c!Wilbur "believes that Dream has nothing if not himself"--a perspective that obviously leaves out c!Punz, considering c!Dream's secrecy in terms of this one particular ally, but is otherwise I mean. Like. Correct? cc!Dream emphasizes repeatedly that c!Dream doesn't want to lose "that feeling of control over Wilbur," that c!Dream's power over c!Wilbur is "just in his head," that he's holding onto it even though "it's seemingly gone after the exile reveal." The rest of the server's story only throws this in sharper relief--c!Wilbur literally fucking leaves the whole damn server and c!Dream is cowering in the prison worrying about him A MONTH LATER.
When c!Wilbur makes the assessment that c!Dream is going to hold onto the perceived leverage he has over c!Wilbur tightly, EVEN WHEN SAID LEVERAGE DOESN'T EXIST, to the point of doing almost everything c!Wilbur tells him to? He's 100% right. c!Dream doesn't want to break the illusion. When cc!Dream gives the two examples of what c!Dream wouldn't do, he mentions that c!Dream wouldn't "kill himself" or "give over the revive book," which, I mean. Is literally just saying the same thing twice. Which, again, just goes to show how far c!Dream is willing to go in order to keep holding onto a feeling of control, that--once again! Is emphasized by both ccs AND by the literal text (as we can see that c!Dream at no point is able to actually use the "leverage" he has over c!Wilbur from reviving him to do LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL) as not existing in any meaningful manner. This isn't a case of c!Wilbur having an inflated sense of self-importance or a case of him pushing his way into this conflict recklessly w/ a delusional belief that his pitch will work. This is a case of c!Wilbur (as is like, usually the case with him and c!Dream) reading c!Dream like an open book and getting exactly what he fucking wants by force, literally shouting down at c!Tommy and c!Dream until they both comply.
(And it's worth pointing out that like. This whole thing does have a visible toll on c!Dream. He's extra jumpy and defensive in the stream on the same day after Inconsolable Differences, says he went for a stroll outside the prison (something he basically Doesn't Do after he gets the prison back in Daedalus) explicitly to "keep his mind wandering," he bristles at the perception that he's being accused of a terrorist--the exact wording that c!Wilbur uses against him when he makes him write the book in the prison. c!Dream's behavior, while not yet pushed to the point where he starts lashing out in self-defense, was pretty obviously off as soon as c!Wilbur started making demands--he grows quieter, more still, visibly less comfortable--honestly, not at all unsimilar to certain behaviors that we saw in the prison arc.)
And I mean. At the end of the day. Why wouldn't c!Dream want some reason to believe that c!Wilbur would work with him? Why wouldn't he want some kind of leverage? The guy is pretty obviously worried about him, if not outright scared of him. He was ranking c!Wilbur with the likes of c!Sam and c!Quackity when he mentions him in the Finale, for god's sake. c!Wilbur was the person that first called him the tyrant that c!Dream ends up believing he has always been. c!Wilbur was the originator of L'manburg, which c!Dream blames for the literal loss of his home. c!Wilbur is like. Extremely charismatic, extremely good at convincing people that he's well-meaning, that what he's saying is right, that this-person-is-the-enemy and you-want-to-stand-for-freedom and that so-and-so is a cause worth dying for, isn't it. c!Dream was The-Man-That-L'manburg-Opposed from the minute that c!Wilbur decided so and this narrative would follow him literally for the rest of his life.
So yeah c!Dream wanted to keep c!Wilbur alive out of the delusional belief that doing so would mean he has leverage over him. Why he wants that leverage (even though he never uses it and the fact that it literally doesn't exist), I mean.
#my asks !!#c!dreamisms#like id say that if there's anywhere c!wilbur makes an error in judgement here#it's prooooobably in assuming that c!dream still has his eyes set on fucking with c!Tommy for the sake of his goals#because honestly i've always read the whole staged finale false ending of it all and giving him the discs as just.#kinda avoiding the kid that's made himself a constant thorn in his side over those two vinyls since forever#but then again maybe the main reason why we didn't see that much post-prison c!discduo#was because c!dream was literally just too busy holing himself up in the prison obviously unwell scrawling over the walls unintelligbly#but in assuming that c!dream will prioritize keeping him alive like. he was spot on. he was absolutely 100% accurate#dream would prioritize everything except like basically his own literal life to keep a feeling of control over wilbur#that was completely unbased in reality#the main question i had at the time was whether or not c!wilbur actually believed that c!Dream had that power over him or not#and after rereading the reddit post a few times and just looking at the end of the server i feel like. it's pretty fair to say#that like. he didn't. c!wilbur was kinda aware that c!Dream's feeling of power was just a feeling imo#and that these false concessions of agency to c!Dream were the most effective way to get him to do what c!Wilbur wanted#[stares at my vassal demons]#anyway
