Thinking about them in episode 2

Light and dark capes, walking through the undercity alone (especially after just losing people they cared about: Silco and Sky), finding someone who needs help, helping (any future consequences this will have aside for now) and then sitting with them (gaining a follower)

Watching the final season of Fairy Tail in English this time and I gotta say. Zeref really does just say shit like “my dearest little brother” and “my darling little brother” all the time, doesn’t he? Completely unironically! Swear to god without his curse he’d be the most annoyingly affectionate sibling. Brocon material at LEAST. I wonder if he was already like that before the curse, actually….

You know what makes me sick?

We have had Eddie tell Buck "this doesn't change a thing between us." Buck being bi. But there hasn't, at any point, been a conversation about Buck's feelings for Eddie.

And like. That. I feel like that is such a common thing to ask queer people. In 4th man out, there's a close male friendship where one is straight… and towards the end they actually address it!!! they kiss (briefly) and pull back and it's weird for both of them!!! (Actually I love that touch btw).

But. Here we have Eddie, who almost always lets Buck process his own feelings and decide for himself. He does it in that conversation! And yet here, here, Eddie is the ONLY one to say this doesn't change a thing. And he jumps on that chance.

You've really made me think about the Mending Rune of Perfect Order

Like, it states it 'perfects the golden order' but would it perfect the Gold, the Order or both?

it's probably an unpopular opinion but i... i have always found that one ending sus 🥲

i see Goldmask's point about how learnedness could be reduced to raving of fanatics, but i don't like the way the ending frames the God's fickleness as something "wrong" and bad and if we just fix that everything is solved.

because duh, of course the Gods are no better than men, the Fingers were literally entrapping normal humans into Godhood to begin with ???? why you create the problem then complain about it? it's not just the God that needs fixing, it's a whole system from the top to bottom.

and i think ascended Miquella, after divesting himself of all human emotions is, ironically, what Goldmask would consider a perfect God. no fickleness, no humanity left. but the thing is... you can't just be devoid of love, fear, doubt and claim to understand compassion. so that is in itself a flaw too. so what's "perfect" here?

"would it perfect the Gold, the Order or both?" that's the perfect (ha! ...) question for that ending. because on the outside, it sounds... perfect. a solution to every problem. but does it though? i honestly think what the DLC makes sure to hammer in is in the fact that everything that is portrayed as "perfect" on the surface, is just not it. i think that ending will just turn Marika into the God Miquella ended up as in the DLC.

I am just thinking implications of cc! Donnie being the Krang-possessed party during the movie.

The roles have been flipped. Donnie is the one being possessed to fight and kill his brothers; the other three are being hunted by the last person on earth they want to hurt.

But they actually have the benefit and misery of understanding Donnie isn’t in control and is being used. They know Donnie wouldn’t actually ever do this. But that doesn’t stop the fact they still have to fight him. And after not even being able to spar with Donnie after cw!, YIKES.

And the possibility of Donnie not even remembering or having fuzzy memories of his time while Krangified? Oof.

But since you also bring up this being a story about Leo and Donnie returning to a more equal footing again- this does help in a way. They both know what it’s like to be on either side of the unwilling weapon.

I’m insane I’m insane I’m insane

the guilt of it afterwards also gets to me like .... leo getting donnie captured (because as much as he turns on CJ right after, probably tries to stab him lmao poor kid, he only blames himself) and donnie horrified to see the way he hurt his brothers. the equalizer between the two, leo realizing what it's like to see someone make that kind of sacrifice in his name (because the fear he felt when donnie rushed after him is the same kind of fear donnie has been feeling ever since the curse broke) and donnie coming to understand the depth of the guilt they must have been feeling over harming him. its pretty important the experiences arent the same because donnie didnt have what felt like control over himself during the experience, but it's easy to make that connection. and they do.

god the face-off between leo and donnie in the technodrome is probably the most heartbreaking thing because leo would refuse to lay a hand on him no matter what, not even in defense of his own life, and he would probably say all of this painful self-deprecating talk. he'd probably be so convinced he took him for granted again. he didn't see ahead, realize that his own self-destruction would take donnie with him (also notice the cw parallel), he didn't see it coming-- he still cant seem to figure it out like donnie could.

(and once again it only took donnie's silence for him to realize something was wrong, but this time it's because something's wrong with him. donnie is fucked up, but he raced after leo because he wanted to protect him. he hesitated when leo turned around because he trusted him. he thought leo was going to tell them they had to go back. and leo couldn't see past himself, because he hated himself so much.)

it hurts sooo bad that cc!donnie is so defined by love. he destroys himself and lets his family destroy him because he only wants to make them happy. every step he makes in his recovery is made because he sees how his pain makes them upset. he throws himself off that roof not because he wants the pain to stop, but because he doesn't want them to have to watch him die. and when he snaps out of kraang possession, its probably because leo's words cut through the haze again and he wants to tell him he's wrong. his stony stubbornness so rarely comes through after he's been hurt so much, but when it does it's always for the sake of protecting their feelings.

underground fighter

I have this idea and I can't get it out of my head so I am throwing it to the dpxdc tumblr wild.

Danny took a deep breath as he wrapped his left hand. He wrinkled his nose at the blood and grime he smelled over the cigarette smoke and alcohol. He ignored how his hand shook as he secured the end around his wrist. He heard the noise outside the room die down a bit and hopped up from the bench.

Danny ran himself through a few warmups before he heard the noise outside pick back up with an announcement.

"Tonight we have everyone's favorite, Wraith!"

People yelled out their bets and cheered when Danny stepped out into the cage. He blew out a slow breath and watched as the people in the seats above shivered. He kept a carefully blank expression even under the gaiter mask.

When Wraith stepped into his end of the cage he rolled his shoulders back and stared down his first opponent for the night.

Mork planted jasmine at his house. Because day likes the smell of jasmine. And it probably reminds Mork of day. And also on the off chance day ever visited mork’s house. The jasmine would probably make him feel more comfortable and at home. By the way. If you even care.

ID: Two versions of an 8-point turnaround of a Hebridean sheep character with a humanoid face. Her fur is an ashen gray, and her limbs, face, and four long horns are dark brown. The grooves in her horns, as well as the tips of her hooves, are golden in color. The first turnaround is in full color, and the second version is colorless and has ruler lines to measure various parts of the character. End ID.

ID: A layout of character exploration drawings for the sheep character in the previous turnaround, including three illustrations in various styles of slightly different sheep as well as sketches of facial shapes and general silhouettes. The three larger illustrations are labeled A, B,and C.

Some exploration of an important character in 'Glas', a visual development project I created at the beginning of 2024 after being assigned to create a project adapting a fairytale. It only felt fitting to start my development with her!

The story is (somewhat loosely) based on 'The Sharp Grey Sheep,' often called a Scottish version of Cinderella!

Since writing the affirmations and starting manifestation again, I've actually been in a much better headspace. It's crazy how things align, and you end up where you need to be, especially through pain

Rabbit abuse videos: what to look out for

The internet is just SO rife with rabbit mistreatment and abuse. Rabbit videos rake up millions of views and everyone gushes over the cutesy lil' bunny doing something quirky and I just lose my mind all over again.

Some recurring bits to watch out for:

"Watch this rabbit take a bath!"

Rabbits should never ever be bathed (except as directed by a vet, given a dangerous health situation). Bathing is extremely stressful for rabbits, and damp fur can lead to ear infections (serious) or hypothermia (deadly). Regular bathing also wipes away the natural oils that would normally keep a rabbit's fur clean.

"My rabbit is only calm when I cradle him like a baby!"

When you hold a rabbit in your arms with the rabbit flipped on its back, you're inducing something called tonic immobility, wherein the rabbit is so stressed it resorts to playing dead. That's not a relaxed rabbit, that's a paralyzed rabbit.

"This rabbit once lived in a tiny cage, but now it has full reign of my ranch!"

Free roaming, wherein rabbits are allowed to "free roam" your entire home, is the ideal living situation for a pet rabbit. Rabbits are generally easy to litter box train (there are some exceptions, the same way some cats are fussy about their litter boxes). Cords can be fenced off, and chewable items can be placed on shelves. In a situation where complete free roaming isn't possible, the House Rabbit Society recommends a rabbit pen size of 8 square feet—though I personally would go for something more like 5x8 ft at the smallest! Rabbits should also get 3+ hours of exercise time a day when they're allowed out of their pen to really run and jump around the house.

You'll note my use of the terms "home" and "house." You can keep your pet rabbit outside, but this introduces risk factors like extreme heat, extreme cold, rain, snow, predators, illness, and poison. You'll need a predator-proof, weather-conscious shelter and access to a large, safe area for your rabbit to get those daily 3+ hours of exercise. You'll also need to provide them with adequate weather support (like heat lamps or frozen water bottles/tiles), and be ready to bring them inside when temps become dangerous (anything below like 25°F or above 80°F). You can usually let a rabbit run around your uncovered yard for a while so long as you're there to supervise, but you can't just dump them in the yard with a hutch and a timothy hay bale and call it a day. That rabbit can now be picked off by predators (neighborhood cats or dogs, coyotes, hawks, snakes, etc.), eat pesticides, litter, or poisonous plants (like ivy, daffodils, buttercups, poppies, rhubarb leaves, etc.), fall prey to mites or parasites, catch RHD from a nearby wild rabbit, die of heat stroke or cold, escape the yard and get lost/hit by a car, or even just get into something sharp or heavy in your yard and hurt themselves. Leaving a rabbit to just wander around a giant property is reckless and cruel. The rabbit does not need to free roam your whole yard to be happy; in fact, the rabbit will be less stressed and (statistically) live much longer in a sheltered environment.

"This rabbit gets along with my predator animal!"

Not all these rabbit-dog or rabbit-cat friendships are dangerous (some cats and dogs and rabbits, under the right conditions, can become friends)—but the nature of social media means content creators are often incentivized to capture cute viral moments at the expense of their animals' safety. Just something to consider with channels that produce lots of "prey and predator animal friendships"-style videos.

I feel like I'm going to throw up, there's something so wrong with me and with the world. It's not okay, how can anyone be okay
