Rift Universe Fruits

1. Chabba Fruit- Sun shaped sour fruit used for lemonade equivalents.  The swirl on the front tastes like cinnamon and is used as a baking ingredient.  

2.  Disapear Fruit- A fruit that tastes like a cross between an apple and a pear.  It disappears when it feels threatened.

3. Gem Fruit- A fruit with delicious flesh that can be eaten without peeling.  Seeds are poisonous.

4. Pie-Pie Fruit- Poisonous and bitter tasting medicinal fruit.  Once refined it can be used to ease indigestion.

5. Frostdrop Fruit-  Fruit that can only be eaten when frozen, lest it melt and become a horrid gooey texture.

6. Grabba Fruit-  Used in stews, a hearty ingredient.  Hallow center, thick but sharp outer spines.

7. Cabso Fruit- A fishy smelling fruit with a sweet cherry flavored center.  The flesh around the center is inedible.

9. Soogar Fruit- Fruit just filled with a sweet syrup.  Is refined into sugar.

10. Myo Fruit- A fruit that has the consistency and taste of raw mammal meat.  Must be cooked to achieve peak flavor.

11. Angel Fruit- A juicy and minty fruit that grows where it snows.  Can be eaten raw or put in a salad.

12. Foya Fruit- A fruit as juicy as an orange and as spicy as a chili pepper.  Great ingredient in hotsauce.

13. Olda Dona Fruit- A Dona fruit that's far too ripe, do not eat this.

14. Bagbang Fruit- Non edible fruit. Seeds are crushed and used as gunpowder.

15. Purpur Fruit- Fruit filled with fresh, sweet water.  Essential on planets with no source of fresh water.

16. Sako Fruit- Fruit shaped like a fish that actually tastes like Gushers.

17.  Cinnakinna- Only perfect for eating when it begins to drip frosting-like syrup.  Any other time it's mediocre.

19.  Nuba Dona Fruit- A perfect Dona fruit, tastes like a frosted donut.

20. Shybell Fruit- Translucent fruit with a milky juice within.  Easy to digest and a common ingredient in teas.

Rift Universe Meats

1. Dragon Roast, tough, pressure cook it.

2. Trotters, Meatsaur.  Meatsaur's are alien dinosaurs genetically altered to be ideal food.  

3. Liver, Meatsaur liver

4. Bunbun Kidneys, a toxin/poison neutralizing organ.  Soaked 72hrs before cooking renders it edible.  But why would you eat in the first place, that's gross, they're people.

5. Angel wings, small, sold in pairs.

6. The leg and foot of an unnamed mining species.  Not recognized as a planet with intelligent life, they're free game.

7. Angel leg, fine meats in the Inferno.  Technically illegal but lol you gonna say no to a demon?

8. Demon leg, fine meats in the Inferno.  Yeah them demons be fucky.

9. Entire Side, is fuckin big, animal has pretty patterns on their meat cause they skin is see through.  They live on the cold,  dark portion of Planet Rift.

10. Drumstick, Demon again, but this is pretty big and is usually fried specifically.

11. American-Style Roast, made of the native species of planet Rift, Moomkeys.  No one is safe.

12. Kallopian leg.  They lil predatory horses, but intelligent.  Everyone is food.

13. Tomahawk Steak, a fuckin frog thing, nothing special about them other than they hail from Kallop like the Kallopians.

14. Kabab chunks, angel.

15. Bunbun loin, falls apart when overcooked.

16. Ghost Filet, super hard to get so expensive.  Like not even sold to financially underwhelming people.  Tastes like fish.

17. T-Bone, unnamed slum animal.  Common meat eaten by the people at the Base of Rift City's buildings.  Tastes like 'gator.

18. Trotters, human hands.  We are all meat.

19. Angel Wing, large, sold individually.

20. Meatsaur Tongue, eaten by higher class Rift residents.

21. Meatsaur strips, for your fussy lil baby who demands tendies.

22. Demon Bacon, tastes like sin. 

23. Macro Ham, made from different cuts of Macros, giant insects, all glued together.  Presented as cold cuts.

24. I may have mis-numbered the picture.

25. Bunbun Arms, chewy.

26. Dragon Neck, enjoyed by older Rift generations.  Not very good really but it's TRADITION.

27. Ribs, unnamed giant bird found on rift.  Kinda cruel to eat this considering the birds are peaceful.

28. Sard Tail, like eating a fucking fetus you monster.  Sards reproduce by budding, dropping their tail end so it can reform into a new Sard.  You're awful for eating this.

Rift Universe Plants

1. Sky Bush, a bush that floats through the air.  Good luck to spot one.

2. Mercy Belles, flower named after an act performed in Rift's history.  A pair of frighten sisters offered these flower to a Rift colonizer as they begged for their life.  They were not spared.  Bad luck to give one to someone you like.

3. Coro Tree, secretes a sap that eats away at the tree itself.  

4. Peaktre Tree, small tree often trimmed into shapes.  Sprouts flowers on the leafy portion a translucent reflective dangly flowers below.

5. Hoverleaf bush, remarkable due to the fact that the leaves float, but is otherwise poisonous.

6. Devil's Tail stalk, secretes a tasty yet often throat-closing sap.

7. Brealla, tall stalks of harmless plant that can be used a defense against Rift's acid rain.

8. Marsh Mall, mushroom that tastes like chocolate and gets you high as fuck.  Dangerous in high doses.

P. Fliver, mobil plant native to Kallop.

10. Relp Cabbage, loved by herbivores of Rift.

11. Triproot, root-system that relies on its preytripping and falling into it's tendrils.

12. Speaksies, aka Screamers.  Replays what it hears to excess when a living thing nears it.  Fields of these flowers are  completely devoid of any life with a heartbeat.

13.  Scarebros, also found in fields but uses a humanoid figure to deter other humanoids from nearing it's flower.  Grows  better in well cared-for farms, humanoid figure can be harvested as farm-animal feed.

14. Orbit Berries, tastey!  Picks up small objects and flings them at enemies.

15. Space Rose, the first flower found by human astronauts.  Not really a flower, it's a demon below the planet they were on.

16. Garlands, leaves that grow from a mold found only on ceilings.

[hijinks-n-lowjinks]

Idk if you’ve already made a list or whatnot but do you have like a top 10 fav ships? From any media or anything, like all time

I'm always happy to blabber about former/current hyperfixations so this question is perfect. This is in no particular order except for the first one, they will always be my #1:

kyoru (Kyo Sohma/Tohru Honda) from Fruits Basket: The 👏🏻 ship 👏🏻 ever 👏🏻 They invented love, their relationship has the perfect development and resolution, they truly love and understand each other and have such amazing character arcs both individually and together. Kyo's realization that he loves Tohru is my favorite episode in the entire show and it's constantly on repeat in the back of my mind: "She didn't erase all my pain or offer to solve all my problems. She didn't fix what was broken, but that's not what I needed anyway. What mattered most was that she stayed."

hualian (Hua Cheng/Xie Lian) from TGCF: Another couple that invented love. I sprinted through these books while season 2 was being animated and the absolute faith and trust those two have in each other is unparalleled. "What matters is you, not the state of you" has been imprinted on my brain. I cried so many times while reading these books, they were amazing, definitely one of my favorite stories ever.

mikayuu (Mika/Yuu Hyakuya) from Seraph of the End: These boys... I'm still actively reading the chapters from this manga despite having no fuckin clue what's going on with the plot all because I'm so invested in these boys. Devoted to each other since they were kids, the epitome of "I'd burn down the world to save you". Everything they do is for each other, they are always each other's first choice in everything. And we got a canon confession which is insane to me. I'll never be over them.

satosugu (Gojo Satoru/Geto Suguru) from JJK: Probably the ship that makes me the most emotional in the worst way. I'm a sucker for a good tragedy and those two fit the mold perfectly. The absolute love they have for each other even after they've split makes me so emotional. If you don't see their relationship as romantic idk what to tell you, you're just blind. Jjk 0 and the Gojo being sealed are two scenes that fuck me up each time without fail. I could rave about them for hours.

itafushi (Itadori Yuuji/Fushiguro Megumi) from JJK: The boys I'm best known for. Now, I enjoyed them as a ship from the beginning but it wasn't a true "they're everything to me" until the Itadori Extermination Arc. Yuuji's "you'll only be hurt if you're with me" and Megumi's "start by saving me" had me GAGGED. That's when I really started to pay attention and went back and became extremely invested instead of a casual enjoyer. They've always done their best to watch each other's backs and stick together. 216 fucked me up SO BAD, and everything Yuuji has done since them is to try and get Megumi back. They love each other so much, they are the parallel to stsg that will make it. I don't know how anyone can read the manga and not see how much they love each other.

bellarke (Bellamy Blake/Clarke Griffin) from The 100: This was my SHIP back in high school. I was obsessed with The 100 back in the day and these two were everything to me. Enemies to friends to lovers is my favorite dynamic, and these two fit that bill perfectly. Everything about their relationship was so perfectly set up for them to be endgame and yet the writing for the last few seasons was SO FUCKING BAD that I couldn't even watch the last season. From what I hear, they totally switched up Bellamy's character and he switched up on Clarke so quickly when he's always been her #1 supporter after they became friends. Their friendship was my favorite thing about the show, they truly were each other's right-hand man and constantly looked out for each other. Still pissed about what we could have had.

akiangel (Aki Haykawa/Angel Devil) from Chainsaw Man: Another tragic ship. I cannot wait to see these two animated together. I binge read all of Chainsaw Man (which was like 98 chapters at the time?) in two days and it rewired my brain. The staunch hatred/dislike of each other's kind out of principle to slowly realizing that they actually do care about each other was so good. They have such a subtle chemistry and relationship, it was one of my favorites in the series. Aki reaching out a hand to save Angel and them holding onto each other during the Bomb Girl Arc is probably my favorite scene in the entire manga, I can't wait for them to get their flowers once it's animated.

tododeku (Shouto Todoroki/Izuku Midoriya) from MHA: Narrative foils. What more can I say. These two have so many parallels in their arcs and have such a great relationship. Idk how this ship isn't more popular with how healthy their relationship is and how it started off with such strife. Deku also means so much to Todoroki and you can see that throughout the entire series that their friendship means the world to him. They give each other such a good support system, I adore them.

bokuaka (Bokuto Koutarou/Akaashi Keiji) from Haikyuu: Simp behavior, the both of them. You don't really see it initially, but these two are obsessed with each other. The Fukurodani v Mujinazaka game was so incredible for diving into their characters and relationship more! Finding out that Akaashi only came to Fukurodani because he saw a cute jock play ONE game was so funny because you don't expect him to be a love at first sight character in the slightest. He and Bokuto work so well together, they balance each other out and understand each other on such a deep level, you can't convince me they aren't in love. They bring out the best in each other and know how to get the other out of their head.

zelink (Princess Zelda/Link) from Legend of Zelda: This is specifically going to be focused on botw/totk zelink because those are the games where their relationship is explored the most, but MY GOD. Those two make me weak. Link is just this autistic/selectively mute dude who's just trying to do his job and Zelda is so jealous of his freedom and ease of being able to do his assigned role without trouble that seeing the development of their friendship/relationship through the memories was my favorite part of the game. Their bond is so strong, they truly become each other's biggest link in the chain of their support system. Totk in particular made me cry multiple times because of the tragedy of realizing what happened to Zelda that imagining what Link must be feeling upon the discovery fucks me up. They never stop fighting to protect each other and never lose faith in each other.

[amiharana]

Hi it's the Slate anon again um. I love your posts on botw modern AUs just imagining all the antics they would get into. You know they would all have a group chat together, Urbosa writes with proper punctuation and everything, every one of Zelda's messages is programmed to sign with "Her Royal Highness Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule CCLXXVII" and Daruk writes every single thing in all caps. Link as quiet as he is means every time they see "Link is typing..." it's a national event (and it ends up being "ok" or "🫡")

Daruk would have a long distance game night every week for a "bonding session" but an hour each time is spent in him figuring out how to turn on the camera for the video call. Mipha invites Zelda, Revali and link to her animal crossing island and Zelda does nothing but fill the museum with animals while revali spends an embarrassing amount of time decorating the island. A Mario kart session nearly led to the murder of multiple champions

HI SLATE ANON 🥺🤍 IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK!! and i'm glad to hear you like the modern aus!! imagining what the champions w zelda and link would be like in a modern au brings me much joy

zelda's signature LMFAOOO i bet she started off with just "—Zelda" and then kept adding shit until it was ridiculously long and she just keeps adding stuff it to the point where if she just sends the word "hi" her signature is 99% of the message. daruk absolutely types in all caps and he tries to use slang words but it's a hit or miss he's very much the How Do You Do Fellow Kids? meme. i agree w link being quiet in the chat, but i'm torn between him being online often and just lurking silently + reacting to messages with emojis or him constantly having his phone on do not disturb, low brightness, and <10% battery all the time 😭😭 the gang buys him chargers but he always somehow breaks them ksjhdfjkd

the idea of the champions having a game night over like a discord call or something is so fuckign cute im cryingfhgjk it doesn't matter what the game is, revali is going to end up being ridiculously competitive and try to win every single time. link effortlessly beats him every time tho LMAOKDJFHDKJF zelda link and revali playing animal crossing together 🥺🥺🥺 link lowkey be tearing up zelda's island and steals all her fruit though LOL

this kinda made me think of a twitch streamers au 😄 i think zelda would be like a just talking/variety streamer like think pokimane or valkyrae; mipha would play games like animal crossing or stardew valley, but then randomly do a fortnite stream but the thing is she would fucking slay at it????? 😭 i feel like urbosa would play a lot of horror games like dead by daylight, resident evil etc. me personally i can't handle horror so props to urbosa bc it doesn't faze her at all whatsoever

i'm not sure what daruk would stream? would he even be able to get his setup together like he lowkey gives me the same vibes as the one time snoop dogg did a stream and forgot to log off so the live was just on for like 12 hours or something LMAO. now revali and link....... they are The Streamers Ever. i think they're both variety streamers but also like speedrunner rivals and also revali would speedrun elden ring and link would speedrun super mario odyssey

imagining the champions+zelda getting brought together by like . fuckin, idk someone doing love or host (hestu but he's the austinshow KJDHFDJKH) and the dynamic between them all is just so good they end up somehow becoming a stream team :] the champions+zelda playing jackbox or among us together :> revali losing his shit when he gets killed but also being the most efficient murderer and so is link so they kill everyone else in the game Quick Asf 😳 revalink have a "We are a good team" klance moment LOL......

imagine the champions having a minecraft server that they stream on and it's called the CSMP (Champions SMP). zelda has admin perms and revali is always asking for admin too claiming that he's the second most responsible person on the team, and to prove a point, zelda then gives admin to urbosa much to revali's chagrin. while this is all happening, daruk is still learning the wasd keys and trying to move and link is already in the nether #SpeedrunnerLife! mipha is 1000 blocks away swimming with dolphins and finds a sunken ship with treasure :> they eventually add the descendants to the SMP too, and impa and rhoam make special appearances on link and zelda's streams!

i highkey love this au 😭🤍

[sexualsorbae]

gonna start out with a low hanging fruit

Specially the costumes (and apparent lack of efforts to compensate for them) for this one fuckin' character in the spin off prequel "Blood Origin"

Full disclosure: I'm a dude who wears t shirts and jeans from thrift stores and most of my clothes is 5-10 years old. I am not an expert on fashion or textiles. I'm not an expert in anything.

But even my dumbass can look at these three images (which were all part of marketing material for the show - I didn't have to search long and hard for unflattering images ) and tell that this is a really poor costuming decision for this show... There's no way that transparent fabric is part of the intended appearance of the costumes : it's meant to hold the costumes on the actors' bodies and shape the silhouette (from a distance) so it has striking and edgy look. The transparent fabric allows you to work with the opaque fabrics in ways that wouldn't be possible if you were just working with opaque fabrics made of heavy organic material (cotton, linen, silk, wool...etc.).

We are supposed to be like oooh wow, that looks so foreign and elven! I am titillated by this clothing!! Elves are cool!

But yo... we are also supposed to believe these people are out there with medieval garb and swords and arrows and shit. It's not like they're sooo advanced that elven children are running around terrorizing temples by chucking bouncy balls at the walls of the long marble hallways.

If they have nailed both making and manufacturing fabrics with synthetic polymers, maybe they could make a nice light puffy jacket , a raincoat, some impact resistant battle armor or, idk, friggin Tupperware. Great for those long nights on the path.

Okay so. I think it's fair to say we aren't supposed to SEE those seams. That fabric isn't supposed to be visible to the viewer.

Now you might say the costume designer was banking on post production, styling, lighting etc. to conceal the "implausible" aspects of the design. But. This is one of the cores of what I think makes the Witcher in general such a disappointment. I think good costume design principles would suggest , perhaps the seams shouldn't be there at all.

We, the viewer, are supposed to be transported to this world. We are supposed to suspend our judgement and entertain the possibility that we could be watching characters in this "alternate universe". Seeing something that CAN'T exist (or shouldn't) and that is supposed to be concealed from the viewer, but is done so poorly immediately takes a viewer out of the experience.

People can watch a play like Avenue Q, where the puppeteers are on stage, and still be transfixed by the characters they're OBVIOUSLY controlling.

But when a puppeteer is hiding in a box and you sneak a peek of them, it becomes distracting.

And every little peek adds up.

[camoooh]

Agreeing with Dane on this one, celebrity gossip switches off my brain so fast. i don't care

15. How many times did it take you to pass your drivers test?

in NZ there's three exams to get your license, your learners (like a written exam) which i passed first time, restricted license (can drive but within curfew and no passengers) i had to take 3 times, and full license (go for it, no restrictions) which i passed first time. i taught myself to drive so i'm not surprised it took a few attempts

16. If you had to have the same topping on your vanilla ice cream for the rest of your life, what topping would you choose?

not really a sweet/ ice cream person but i think strawberries would be good with it, or fruit in general

17. What food item would need to be removed from the market altogether in order for you to live a healthier, longer life?

tbh my diet isn't what's stopping me from living a long healthy life, its cigarettes

18. You are offered an envelope that you know contains $50. You are then told that you may either keep it or exchange it for another envelope that may contain $500 or may be empty. Do you keep the first envelope, or do you take your chances with the second?

eh fuck it take the chance, go for the $500

19. If you had to choose, which would you give up: TV, or internet?

i already don't watch tv, i just stream everything, so give up tv i guess

23. What would you rather have, a nanny, a housekeeper, a cook, or a chauffeur?

a cook, i hate cooking with a passion, need someone to make sure i eat right

24. Would you rather be trapped in an elevator, or stuck in traffic?

traffic, easy, you've got music and a comfy seat, and lots of people in the same situation, its chill. stuck in a lift? i'm laying on the floor and accepting my fate. this is how i die

25. Lets say a brick fell on your foot, and your kid is standing right next to you, what is your ‘cleaned up’ swear word?

I will straight up swear in front of a child, they'll live. but sometimes its fun to blurt out random words that aren't even relevant, like "mozzarella!" or "traffic cone" or "Azerbaijan" (the last one i've used a lot recently it's just satisfying to say)

this was fun, i tag @echoanddust and whoever else wants to join 🤙

[masseffectdoctor]

As a film major, game designer, general all around creative person who's also worked in the industry in a few ways:

For the love of GOD avoid these people at ALL costs. I worked on a fucking sci-fi game based around a body swapping mechanic and these people were perfectly fine until we got to environment design and level design shit (my realm)

"Well why is this light source here?"

Me: Because that's how the cave is illuminated so it isn't pitch black because games don't magically produce ambient lights like real life does and the light we need is too intense to put together with the textures and things you've already made.

"idk doesn't feel realistic"

Me: *remembers 7 minutes ago where we were talking about a body that could grow wings and lift spaceships and possibly throw them into the atmosphere* yeah sure dude whatever.

Also on this project was the fucking weird fixation with general ecology of the environment and it needing to be PERFECT in every SINGLE way with his unimaginative thinking and limitations on what he felt was ecologically sound. Which was also why the ambient lighting issue wouldn't work. Guy had the super original idea of glowing mushrooms with bioluminescence that fucked up the entire atmospheric lighting we made because of the shape, size, and texture they utilized.

"why does this plant look like a corkscrew with illuminated rings and a fruit on the top?"

Me: Because that's what you asked for. You wanted creative-ish alien plant-life that could explain away the lighting issue you have without getting rid of your precious mushrooms you paid for concept art for 10 years ago on DeviantArt. You also specifically said 'maybe a corkscrew like plant with a flower or fruit on top?'

"Idk man how are the alien bat things gonna drink from this plant. Doesn't work with the ecology for the plant to exist, forget the last week or so of general concept work on the entire environment and let's build it fresh from the mushrooms and this bug I saw a design of on artstation."

The guy was insufferable. On top of this every single cinemasins bro I've ever met EVER regardless of the medium or place in the industry has had one consistent trait: They're the "idea man" who provides the "totally original" ideas, will never budge on them, and if you even try to tell him that the idea may need to be SLIGHTLY tweaked to make it work, or make workload more feasible he will ream you in front of the entire team.

Like I know this was about something a little more "don't be dumb" than my example but it exists in so many fuckin ways and I am endlessly frustrated by it. Nothing wrong with caring about the project but the project was scrapped because it was just earth. The guy made earth look a little weird at best and that was it. This one issue was like just one scrap on the pile. He took a rad alien sci-fi game and made every single environment he made for the promotional material fucking planet earth. Of the 6 planets we made they were totally indecipherable from earth and imo in the sci-fi genre that's not good lmao. Like at least do something weird about it that makes it CLEARLY alien. Fucking 2 suns or something Jesus Christ.

Anyways avoid them at all costs. Do not hire them. Hate them endlessly. Please for the love of all that is holy do not let these fucking weird freaks invade the industry I am LITERALLY begging. They're like a cancer or a fuckin black mold that kills everyone near it but never quite goes away.

why do they let the worlds most boring people direct movies

[astros-turf]

I'm watching one piece. I'm on episode 512. Major spoilers for the marinefort arc so if you don't want that spoiled don't read.

I have made a literal blog post blogging about my feelings when it comes to one piece. If you wish to read an essay of how emotional I get about one piece and how much it makes me cry written by a tired, high, queer guy... Then this is the post for you.

Okay. I have been incredibly emotional watching this show. It has the perfect ebb and flow with the major arcs. They build stories up so well. I could talk about this for hours. I sobbed watching the enies lobby arc. I think about Robins I WANT TO LIVE! Fucking constantly. At least once a day. I kinda want it tattooed but I don't know if I want the manga panel or just the words. And then also maybe that's a weird thing to tattoo. Anyway. She's my absolute favourite anime "girl" (quotes cuz she's a woman and it feels weird calling her a girl but this feels fedora-y i hate this). Robins just so cool and I wanna sit and hear about the lands history from her and I want her to tell me about all the theories that the archeology world has going.

But anyway I've been watching this marinefort arc and I had spoiled Aces death ahead of time for myself. So I was really struggling because I was really anxious to see it? Not because I was particularly attached to Ace, but because I'm very protective of Luffy and that's his brother so of course I care like he's my own brother. (I feel like I'm not making sense, I am high and also I have adhd lol)

But I didn't cry for Ace's death somehow. I think I was just so... Not shocked but like stunned? And also so angry that they worked so hard to get to him and Ace just had to stand his ground and I can even respect that but then the double whammy of he ultimately died to protect Luffy. And I just couldn't process that at the time. So I didn't cry. But the whole mini arc after that, the kid one? I was crying left and right at every single thing ace said. I wanted to punch Garp cuz he's an idiot. I wanted to punch Garp more for punching literal children. But mostly I cried because you learn about ace standing up to danger even when that's not the best option and you find out Roger did that too. And it turns out that ace has done it before, also to protect Luffy. Like bro Luffy is Ace's world man, like that's his baby brother and Ace is the fuckin best big bro ever. Made me miss being a kid with my brother when we used to wrestle and roughhouse all the time and have play fights and stuff. My brother is 10 years older than me, so it wasn't much of a fight ever but I remember having a blast. We don't talk anymore and that really sucks, but shit happened and I don't think the relationship will be quite the same unless he gets some therapy or a divorce or both. Anyway. Maybe that's why Ace's death is hitting me so weird, it's like too relatable?

Anyway. I've been off and on crying because of all the crew members finding out about the war and immediately trying to get the fuck to sabaody even if it kills em and I just was like oh my god everyone cares so much. Oh my god and when Jinbe was tryna get Luffy to snap out of it so he'd stop hurting himself and he was like don't you have something worth living for?? And Luffy is remembering his crew one by one I was like "Your crew! 😭" "I've missed our crew too! 😭😭" Bro I really wanna be a pirate on luffys ship. I have no idea what I'd do, I'm not superhuman smart or strong or have some sort of gimmick... None of my SpIns are useful in battle or could be adapted to be useful in battle lol. I'd have to eat a devil fruit for sure cuz there's no way I'd accidentally stumbled ass backwards into haki how I am now. Anyway. Crying.

The whole reason I made this post. I thought I was good. I thought surely, this is gonna be a time when I don't cry. They're finally telling us the full meaning behind what luffys message was and giving us a better look at the photo of Luffy. Cool. Ooo, crocodile. Oh shit? The new gay lovers are going to the new world? With what crew?

Awwww oh my goodness. Everyones home towns... Oh my god Dadan! DADAN. "REST IN PEACE YOU BRAT!" had me HICCUP CRYING. IT STARTED WITH A HICCUP TOO. I had to pause and do a reality check when you're like too deep in the media ya know? Cuz I was like holy fuckin shit get ahold of yourself man. And then I realized that this show feels like free therapy with how much I fuckin cry. And then I was like I gotta ramble about this so here we are.

Whumptober Day 10 - Stranded

A follow up to Day 1 (linked for convenience)

Kasuki doesn't know how long he's been running, only that his legs feel like lead and he stopped being able to feel his feet a while ago.

And the trees still look the same.

He'd been able to follow a river for a while, Aizawa's guidance ringing in his head: find water, follow it downhill. His teacher better be fuckin' proud of him for remembering that.

Actually, no, he owes the man a fuckin' fruit basket for teaching it.

Later, he can think about fruit baskets and dropping in on UA later. When they're home. When they're safe.

A shaky breath tickles his ear, pulling him out of his head just in time to avoid an errant tree root. He staggers to a stop to check in.

"Oi, nerd. You still with me?" Katsuki asks, trying to ignore how tight his throat gets every time he has to ask this question. Izuku nods, curls slick with what he hopes is sweat but knows is probably blood, sliding against Katsuki's temple.

"'m...still here," he murmurs. It's weaker than last time.

"Ok, just...stay awake. If you fall asleep on me, I'll kill you myself, got it?"

Something that could be a laugh ruffles Katsuki's sweaty hair and Katsuki squeezes Izuku's thighs and takes off again. The shadows in the forest are getting longer and Katsuki doesn't want to think about what'll happen if they're stuck here after the sun goes down.

A pat to his chest stops him thinking and he tilts his head back a little.

"Yeah?"

"..D..d'you...hear s'mth'n?"

Katsuki stops, straining his ears until the rush of blood quietens,replaced by the rush of something else.

"Water," he murmurs, turning in a slow circle until he spots it: in the distance, a break in the trees.

Finally, an end to this fuckin' forest.

Katsuki adjusts his hold, and Izuku startles, clutching at his chest and almost sending them both sprawling. But Katsuki catches his and breathes out his frustration on a long sigh.

"S'rry Kacchan," Izuku slurs, clumsily patting his collarbone.

"'s'fine, Izuku. Just keep holding' on yeah? Think we might be nearly out. Then we can get to wherever the fuck and get help."

"...kay..." Izuku doesn't sound certain but the chance at anything even approaching rescue is something Katsuki will take. He approaches cautiously, straining his ears for any sounds of their pursuers. If he's about to walk into the open, he ain't gonne let them be easy pickings.

But then they break through the trees.

Onto a beach that stretches for miles and before an ocean that stretches until it meets the sky.

Katsuki's knees finally give up and he pitches into the sand, managing to keep Izuku on his back by some kind of miracle. He thinks Izuku might be saying something but it's muted under the dull roar of his quickly building panic.

Help isn't coming.

They're on their own.

i too would love to kiss bruno, he's so cute 😭 just kiss his face and hug and squeeze him. i get the sense his partner could just grab a fistful of his hair and lean him back and just deeply kiss him and he'd melt

yeah. I mean. YEAH. I MEAN LOOK AT HIM OK???? he can barely take a familial kiss on the cheek from his own mama like??? Listen. Mans got a lotta deficiencies for sure after living in the walls for 10 years. Iron, Vitamin D for sure, but probably the most serious of these is BIG KISS DEFICIENCY. And that's something Julieta's Arepas can't cure...

BUT I CAN. BECAUSE HIS FACE IS SO GODDAMN KISSABLE ALL OVER MY GOD LOOK AT HIM YOU KIDDING??? His forehead? brush those curls back and it's free real estate for smooches. Those eyelids laden dark and purplish with no doubt several vitamin deficiencies (some of which I've listed) and also lack of sleep? Perfect for some soft little pecks to help him fall asleep faster. His cheeks? no doubt covered all the time (and not just from me - Alma and Julieta and probably Pepa too be helpin out because they're just so glad the baby of the family is back home and they never gonna let him go affection deficient from them ever again. It is madrigal family law now, and everyone is in on it). THAT JAW AND THAT NECK THO????? FULL OF SCRUFF???? 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴personally I get weak thinking about kissing that oh my lord. and you know what HE WOULD TOO LIKE IT TICKLES LIKE HELL BUT OH MY GOD (new headcanon- that's one of his big weak spots I bet for sure. you do anything like wrap your arms around his neck or play with the curls at the back of his head or hold him by the jaw to kiss him that's like... THE butter melting button for him oh my god. and this one's just for me but I find his adam's apple to be particularly alluring idk why I wanna smooch it so bad but I do wanna smooch that sinewy neck like so fuckin bad) AND LETS NOT FORGET HIS NOSE!!!!! HIS BEAUTIFUL BIG OL FUCKING NOSE THAT'S JUST THE BIGGEST PIECE OF FREE REAL ESTATE LIKE MY GOD LOTTA GROUND TO COVER THERE BUT I WILL HAPPILY VENTURE UP THAT MOUNTAIN IT DESERVES SO MUCH LOOOOOVE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

aND THEN!!!! and then there's the crown jewel. His lips. Almost feels like forbidden fruit because of town pariah status- even to him. Like who would want to kiss him??? But then you do. And they're soft and too pliant under yours because he hasn't even fully computed he's being kissed yet- still wide-eyed looking at you, eyes closed peacefully and so so close. And then it registers. You're KISSING him. Right when you're pulling away. And he... he liked it. He wanted it too. So his lips dive right back into yours before you can pull away completely. And he settles his shoulders and brings you closer hoping you'd forgive him for being so slow, and hands snaking to his waist and back confirm that for him and he whimpers into it. Never having felt so satisfied from something in his whole life than his lips moving with yours and knowing that you're doing this because it's him and frankly, he never wants to know this feeling with anyone but you either.

[thefeathercollective]

mood acquired!

*cracks knuckles (but not really because that feels horrible)

so! cockatiels! sciencey name Nymphicus hollandicus meaning goddess of new holland (because they're from australia and australia used to be called new holland!) they're the smallest type of cockatoo, 30cm or roughly a foot in length if you count the tail, although the tail is like half their total size!

they were discovered in the late 18th century by-- we distinctly remember reading about some john gold or gould but google's saying it was some robert kerr? maybe the forum post we read in 2012 was mistaken lmao

their habitat are semideserts (deserts that are just wet enough not to be called deserts lmao), their diet consists mostly of seeds (that's what their beaks are made for! they're strong. have been bit, can confirm) with occasional leaves and fruit! in the wild they hang out in big flocks, I forget the number, and can live up to 30 years! in captivity depending on the conditions they live anywhere from 12 to 25 years.

they partner semi-permanently (personal observation, as one of ours romanced a second husband a couple years after the first one flew away), but, as many other birds do, they cheat a lot and lay eggs in each others' nests sometimes. this is to guarantee genetic variety! they don't build nests, I think in the wild they do it in tree holes and such. they lay 2-6 eggs, of which usually 2-3 will hatch! they take from 17 to 25 days to hatch iirc. the mother and father take turns sitting on the eggs. the babies are small and pink and blind and tend to have yellow or white fluff and their chirpies are the cutest! at 10-15 days old they'll open their eyes and that's also the age at which they get their pin feathers! at 25-30 days old they're fully feathered and will leave the nest, though still recognizable as a baby because they're a little scruffy and the feathers right next to their beaks will be wet from being fed by the adults. they won't necessarily be fed by only their parents! one of ours was fed and kept warm by their half-sibling. they'll still beg for that tasty.... regurgitated food for a month or two after that, and are super clumsy during that period because they're still learning how to cockatiel lmao. their first set of feathers will always look female no matter the sex (more detail on sexual dimorphism in the "morphs/mutations" part of the infodump) and their first molt will happen at 6 months to a year of age.

--PART ABOUT FUCKIN' STARTS HERE--

sexual maturity is reached at 6 months, but they're likely (and it is recommended, if you're breeding them) to only start seeking that kind of thing when they're 1 to 1.5 years old, at which point males might get "aerodynamic" (don't know the official word but that's what they look like lmao. heart wings, smoothed feathers and crest, horizontal tail, chest a bit popped out, chittering in a specific way to communicate that they're horny) and females will put their cloacas up against anything sloped or vertical and make the same sound. yes, they masturbate. yes, we found out by walking into ours doing it. on their little bathtub, of all things.

--PART ABOUT FUCKIN' ENDS HERE--

now for one of my fav bits!! morphs, or mutations (I'll call them mutations because they're called mutations in portuguese and it's what we're used to)! they only really occur in "domesticated" tiels (they're not domesticated, but y'know. bred to be pets), as wild tiels are grey with a yellow face and red "cheeks" (that's where their ears are!) although you'll sometimes find a pearled (spotted) or albino tiel in the wild. I'll fetch an image because it's easier than describing each one in great detail--

yes, the mutations stack! up to 3 at a time. depends on the dominant/recessive status of each one though, which gets complicated and I'll admit that we used to know them all by heart but have forgotten most at this point. a fun little tidbit about them is that males can "carry" a mutation but not manifest it (might have something to do with the recessive thing? can't tell you for sure), and it'll be passed on to some of their children! this happens because mutations are stored in the Z chromosome, and males are ZZ and females are ZW. some specific mutation combos, like whiteface cinnamon pearl, only occur in females but I can't tell you why.

you might notice that the whiteface lutino looks like an albino cockatiel, but they're not! albinos will have very red eyes and very pink feet and beak. I think we read somewhere that all true albinos are female but once again I can't tell you for sure :(

sexual dimorphism time baby. colloquially people will say that oh, the male's crest is bigger, the female will act a certain way, etc etc. that's bullshit. crest size will depend on genetics. males are most likely to sing (they can learn songs from each other and from being taught, and will try to mimic words but not to the accuracy you'll expect from a bigger parrot) but some females do it too. so on and so on. BUT once the tiels are adults and have been through a couple molting seasons, depending on the mutation, you might be able to tell:

wild grey, pied, cinnamon: males will have a very vibrant yellow face and red cheeks. the underside of their tail will be smooth and grey. females will have a grayer/whiter/generally less saturated face, and the underside of their tails will have thin, wavy, horizontal yellow and grey stripes.

pearl: no difference on their cute little faces. males will lose most of their pearled pattern over the years, only keeping some spots on their wings and back, while females get to keep all of it.

whiteface: basically wild grey but with the absence of psittacin, the pigment that makes yellow and red on them. thus, males will have a very white face (hah), females will have a face barely lighter than the rest of their body, and the tail stripe difference is applicable with white in place of yellow.

with lutino there's no way to tell by the plumage, you have to test DNA or wait for them to get horny.

their beaks and nails can be pale pink or dark grey! I don't know what causes the difference, but we have observed a prevalence of dark grey in pearl tiels!

....and only stopping here cause I've been typing for over one hour and I have things to do, whoops

later though hmmm I could also talk about care if you're keeping them as pets do you wanna hear it--

!!! our collective special interest is parrots i’d love to hear you infodump about cockatiels :D

!!!!!!

I'm not in the mood rn but I'll do it sometime soon then :D

[moviesstoriesandbooks]

Ok so thots on Bad buddy ep 9

1) Korn my love. My knight in shining armour. My quail in ponytail. My dumbass with sass. My sweetie with a patootie. I love you Korn. And drake 👉🏽👈🏽🥺 pls rail me

2) Ohm sexy guns in navy top makes me wanna squeeze.

3) i would once again like to point out how fuc*in happy pran looks when he's with Pat. How can his "friends" see that and NOT support them together????

4) everyone including me , is pissed off af Pran's group of friends but I'm trying to be patient coz they're at most , 18 years old and we do stupid shit when we're young that we'll come to regret coz of the scale of the stupid when we're older. I hope wai and the rest of them realise how much wrong they were in.

5) i speak from experience but juniors doing fucked up shit coz of their seniors rivalry is real. Like seniors do think they own the place and they do try to keep out some people from their own batchmates' social circles. Some of the things these shows potray are so close to asian college life like 🥲 Take SOTUS for example.

6) When they both said "Not yet" , i guffawed so LOUD at 3.00 in the morning , I'm sure i woke up my friend passed out in the next room.

6) also i thought they were gonna do it this episode , i opened instagram before watching and the black and white pic popped open like ohm staaaaahpppp

7) inkpa endgame bitches.

8) pls i want waikorn to happen and korn to actually ask wai in a very disappointed but not surprised voice "Why did you do that to him? But i guess hurting people who love you comes easy to you doesn't it??" about their own conflicts and then watch the burn of pain flash in Wai's eyes. I wanna see wai suffer .

9) Also please let their first time after a rain soaked walk session 🥺👉🏽👈🏽Imagine young love Patpran wet and running up the stairs 😭😭

10) I'm not talking about the "fruit basket" that is Pran's room. So that also means the bi sweatshit by our darling Korn is also intentional ofc.

11) Did i mention inkpa endgame ???

12) Fuck dem parents .

13) I was sad during that one episode when korn was barely there. I loved every second of him on screen like Yessssss!! Go best friendddd☺️❤️✌🏽

14) like not only wai , Pran's other friends are shits too. I need you all to litter the hate don't just focus it on wai coz these dipshits kept quiet.

15) angry footballer guy from opp team is hot.

16) I've noticed this many times but Ohm is such a fine fine actor. His eyes are capable of looking like a sad puppy and its will squeeze our heart but then he gets angry and then we'll melt into a pile of scared goo at his feet. It's just so so so sexy of him. Such a talent.

17) also , that guy who hurt Pat. Wait till you get found out son. The architecture and engineering gang will prolly leave you at Pran's mercy. And it would be worse for you.

18) someone said imagine pran turning up to the hospital with bruised knuckles abd you know what?? I can also imagine that fu*ker turning up in the icu with a very heavily bandaged head.

19) korn . Korn holding back Pat , wai , pat. Korn sexy , pat sexy. Wai you stupid vitch sit yo ass down.

20) inkpa height difference cuuuuute , also endgame

And side note for P,aof , as much as i like to believe that I'm as cool and suave as pat , I'm actually a smol bean like Pran and i got fuckin scared to death when those Engineering idiots said Pat's serious i almost started to cryyyy😭😭😭😭 Don't scare me like that 😭

1. Are you named after anyone?

Honestly same answer as Nay.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Not really tbh

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Just their appearance in general i guess. Especially their clothes. Like, of course i don't judge what anyone is wearing it's just when i see someone who dresses cool i'm intrigued by them.

6. What's your eye color?

Hazel. I think. My eyes definitely used to be more green when i was little but over time more and more people have said that my eyes look more brown when i ask them what my eye color is. They're not fully brown though, there's def some green in there so i'll settle on hazel.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings ig. I'm not really into horror.

Uhhhhh. I can make a wide variety of creature noises including a decent cat impression?

9. Where were you born?

No pressure tags: @falling-hand-in-unlovable-hand @icannoteven59 @stormy-space-jellyfish @gourmet-fuckin-fruit-gels-bro and anyone else who wants to participate :)

rules: answer the questions and tag mutuals!! i was tagged by @emiliosandozsequence​

1. are you named after anyone? Irl, after my grandma on my mom’s side (apparently?). Or her mom. Not sure. Online, yes I’m named after the goddess of wisdom “Nayru” in The Legend of Zelda and Fullmetal Alchemist protag Edward Elric, later shortened to “Nay” and the fact I am a salty sarcastic bitch who loves (and is a) fish. 🐟👍

2. when was the last time you cried? Yesterday watching episode 5 of Garden of Sinners with my sister. I watched this series years and years ago now, but holy fuck, some of the Buddhist metaphors are only now making sense to me. Shiki’s return hit me really hard, taking into account my obsessive inclination toward Jin Guangyao at the moment, and having recently seen the new Puss in Boots movie given how it addresses death (which you should totally go see in theaters btw, it was phenomenal).

3. do you have kids? I am redacting this question because no I do not and never plan to, fuck them kids and being reduced to my womb <3<3<3

4. do you use sarcasm a lot? To the point one of my close friends currently hates me and readers of my fanfics cannot believe deep philosophical bullshit is written out of this meme-filled brain, sí.

5. what’s the first thing you notice about people? How aware they are. If they seem like they’re taking in their surroundings, or if they’re lost in their own mind; if they’re like a goldfish swimming mindlessly in water or a person who knows where they are or is at least trying to understand. I measure this primarily through the shape and movement of the eyes, and also of the entire body.

6. what’s your eye colour? Hazel. More brown than green but apparently sometimes really green.

7. scary movies or happy endings? …Neither? How about psychologically Fucked endings that make you question life and humanity and your existence? Yeah, I’ll take that.

8. any special talents? I really don’t know. Many people seem to think I’m good at writing, drawing, piano performance, analyzing people, being serene in tough situations, being tactful/sensitive toward others’ needs… being open and willing to listen to others? Most of this comes naturally to me, and I suck at giving myself credit for anything, so. Maybe???

9. where were you born? In the coldest fucking state of America with lots of swamps and fishes and water. It’s in the Midwest, of course.

10. what are your hobbies? Uhhh lately? Video games, writing, traditional art (particularly with pens and pencils), reading (occasionally), yoga/gym/fitness stuff, seeking out new foods to eat, trying to inject as much knowledge into my brain as absolutely fucking possible on a daily basis (especially as it concerns understanding others’ points of view), and… I think that’s it (aside from the more ahem💦 personal stuff).

11. have you any pets? Not currently. :( I don’t think my frequent relocation or tumultuous personal life circumstances would be a good environment to raise a pet in. I took care of my friend’s cat two summers ago, and that kind of solidified that I’m just not at a time in my life to want or be able to have that kind of responsibility, haha.

12. what sports do you play/have played? I really miss doing equestrian shit lately… I’ve also done gymnastics, dance (tap, ballet, hip-hop), and I was decent at badminton?? None of those were for long tho. Also swimming. I never competed, but I’m really good at swimming. OH! If martial arts count, then also kung fu/southern fist, taichi, and yoga.

13. what’s your height? Short. :’)

14. favorite subject in school? Uhhhhhhh I always really liked bio and biochem and astronomy classes in grade school. Also English/literature analysis classes. In college, I guess the weird esoteric classes like “race, sexuality, and empire on the operatic stage” and “media theory of religion” were particularly fascinating (and mind-bending) to me.

15. dream job? Gee bro idk haha, I don’t dream of labor~ But forreal, I’m thinking my new dream job is being a half-time writer, half-time scuba-diving instructor or something of that ilk. I… actually got hired as a remote copywriter (on a topic I care about!!) recently, so uh. I guess I gotta find a new dream job now :’D

The original prompt said to tag 15 people, but I changed it. Please. Please fucking do it. My friends are all tired of me tagging them (but I will anyway lmao): @jackshade21​ @stupidbluejay​ @mattbear-music-nz​ @stupidbluejay​ @tiburme​ @lizard-dumbass​ @wifiwuxians​
