#this is an amazing coincidence

[sakuradreamerz]

What’s your tarot card?

Death

You need rest. more than anything, you must allow yourself rest. Death is frightening– it is inevitable, it is unstoppable– but, it can also be a thing of great beauty. it is an agent of change. It is the forest fire that paves way for new life. Allow yourself this rest, and be prepared for the change to come. Brace yourself. It will be hard, it will not be kind, but you are more than ready. You just need to rest first.

NUMBER: 13

UPRIGHT: endings, change, transformation, transition

REVERSED: resistance to change, personal transformation, inner purging

This post was directly under your bike post. No one has ever posted about bikes ever on my dashboard but this can't be coincidence. Also. Love that you found a new fun thing!

😭😭THIS IS HOW IT FEELS!! Especially if I can’t look behind me and I can hear cars coming up… it’s like, please sir or ma’am I’m just trying to live… look how cute I am peacefully riding my bike, you want me to have a nice day, you don’t want to hit me with your car

AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Jeeaark,

I absolutely ADORE your BG3 comics, thank you so much for bringing us so much joy! There is one page that gives me particular delight–the one where Greyg learns that they must Unpineapple the Pineapple

If you’ll forgive me for being an enormous ocean geek, I couldn’t help but make an association between this realization and real-life cephalopod behavior that I think is COMPLETELY ADORABLE, especially in the context of your comic: basically, when a Vampire Squid feels threatened, it will turn its little body inside out, revealing a spiky underside meant to confuse and frighten predators

These sweeties are completely harmless detritivores, this is just like a cat poofing up to make itself seem scarier

and this behavior

is called

pineappling. :3

I know Emp can’t actually do this, but it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that it wished it could, when confronted with Feelings

UNPINEAPPLE THAT PINEAPPLE GREYG YOU CAN DO IT <3

ANYWHO have a really awesome day and thank you again for all that you do. :D

Dear RB,

[i-may-be-an-emu]

When I was in grade four a kid didn’t know something and everyone laughed. My teacher, with no anger in his voice, said “Hey, why are you all laughing?” And we said, “because they didn’t know.”

he said (and I’m paraphrasing all this because it’s been a long long time) “when someone doesn’t know something it just means that no one has ever told them, there’s no need to laugh. We just tell them and move on, because no one is born knowing things and people learn different information at different times.”

And I think about this a lot.

Michael on the Late Late Show a few years ago talking about how he was almost in a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and I cannot overstate how much I wish this had actually happened...

(Bonus: Completely unintentional reference to the beginning of episode 3 of The Way at the end by James Corden, along with Michael's reaction. The noise I made...)

Gumball fans ASSEMBLE IMMEDIATELY!

I found something interesting

Rob is a cyclops who is deemed a Nobody

Polyphemus is also a Cyclops. In the Odyssey, he was tricked into thinking that Odysseus' name was Nobody.

THIS CAN'T BE ON ACCIDENT

ohhhh i think have a cute tag game. so basically the rules are that you should give us 3 (or other number, up to you, but 3 is the optimal one i think) songs that you have nice memories with / makes you think about some sweet ones / just makes your day better! after that you can spill the tea and share the memory! tag as many ppl as you want to in the end

i'll start:

Smak i zapach pomarańczy by Tadeusz Woźniak - that's just a song that my dad was always playing in the house/during summer car rides and is really nostalgic, just chill for me

I was made for lovin' you by KISS - it's one of the songs that me and my best friend were singing A LOT last summer

Somebody to love by Queen - it was the first song of theirs that i went truly obsessed with

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING AND IM GOING TO CRY

around December a while after TADC came out I wanted to make an digital circus oc for fun, I decided to base it off of those ladybug pillow pets, cause I had one as a kid.

When I thought about who they would get along with I made a funny joke about how they would get along most with Kinger.

and today I was thinking about what my oc would do if they held their breath since each character does a different thing when they do, they had pillowpets for a while that had built in nightlights, I think that’s the one I had, anyways I decided to pick that.

she would be best friends with Kinger and it was a complete accident and now that I know the lore I’m just sitting here thinking it’s all really ironic

Heres them btw (yes some images are gacha edits I made, it was simpler to make)

Their name is Dot

And now my personal favorite image of them made by @ilovelawrencee

This is another of my headcanon and from the first episode I’d say Olrox was a priest or a teopixqui meaning “god guard.” He carries an obsidian dagger here:

And how precisely he aimed straight to the heart:

I’m just SAYING!

Random thoughts time! Splinter of the Mind’s Eye edition~

1. I’ve already said how much the novel changed my perception of Luke, but it did the same to my perception of Leia. She tells Luke that she joined the Rebellion because she was bored and she discovered that the Empire didn’t allow art because it could so easily be used to create free thinkers and she wanted those free thinkers to be allowed, encouraged even, to create. She likes arts and she likes people and she likes people’s art.

2. Leia is the best combatant. In one book alone, she: kicks a guy so hard in the face she almost decapitates him, manages to sweep the legs out from beneath someone, claws a man until he passes out, goes toe-to-fucking-toe with Darth Fucking Vader with Luke’s lightsaber and actually manages to hold her own pretty well, throws an axe into a person’s shoulder while she and her target are both running. She’s so cool in this book, and every time you think “oh they’re gonna do the sexist damsel thing again” it turns out that Leia was just biding her time. So. Fucking. Cool.

Also, my favourite Leia scenes because they’re funny:

“”That should give them something to think about,” she announced with satisfaction. “Let them think we dematerialized the bars. It won’t bother Grammel, but it might make the troops uneasy. I want anyone trailing me to be as nervous as possible.””

“Leia moved closer, reached out uncertainly to touch his arm. He eyed her, then coughed. She sat back. Suddenly she began screaming. Luke looked around but there was nothing in sight.

Bending over, the Princess screamed into clasped hands. The muffled wail continued for several minutes. When it ended, she looked back up at him again without apology.

“I’m all right now, I think,” she said with forced steadiness.”

3. Love how eepy Luke is.

“Hin bared sharp canines, grabbed Luke by the neck. Luke stared resolutely at his furry visage. Abruptly, the hand moved away and Hin nodded slowly, giving out an apologetic grunt.”

-

“Luke was looking past her. On the other side of the stream they’d been following grew a small forest of water plants, apparently stimulated by the steady flow of fresh nutrients here. The huge leafy pads floating on the black surface were a dull, yellow-brown color. They were round and pointed slightly at two ends where the upturned edges met.

“You can’t,” Leia commented, “be thinking of traveling on one of those.””

-

“”I’m going to cut this one loose,” he announced.

The Princess looked skeptical. “With what? Your saber? I didn’t know they operated under water.”

He gazed back at her solemnly. “They’d better.””

-

“A voice sang fancifully in the back of his mind. It was exorting him to relax. Well, that was simple enough to do, he reflected pleasantly. Relax he would. He was tired, so tired now.”

-

“What had riveted his attention was not the Coway’s continuing methods of medication, nor the vanquished warrior’s convulsive reactions to them, but a large rock. As big as a man’s head, it lay in the water close by the Coway’s head.

His fingertips retained the memory of that stone. It was the one he’d encountered prior to passing out. Or had he passed out? It seemed as if something deep inside him, some resource of which he was unaware, had reacted on the brink of asphyxiation to help him raise the rock, turn and fling it at his tormentor.

Yet he couldn’t recall even placing both hands around it, let alone lifting it clear of the water and throwing.

“How did I do it?” he asked the Princess.

She eyed him uncertainly. “Do? Do what?”

“Beat … him,” he added exhaustedly, gesturing loosely toward the Coway fighter.”

-

“Suddenly his hand opened as if he’d been shot. The pink bulb fell to the ground as Luke stood bolt upright, eyes open and staring. The Princess rose, tried to make something of the gaping expression on his face.

“Luke… what’s wrong?” He took a couple of unsteady steps.

“Was it the fruit, boy?” Halla looked equally concerned. “Boy?”

Luke blinked, turned slowly to face them all. “What?”

“We were worried, Master Luke. You…” But Threepio broke off as Luke turned away to stare eastward.

“He’s coming,” he murmured, every letter resounding. “He’s near, very near.”

“Luke boy, you’d better start making some sense of I’ll have Hin hold you down and feed you dipills,” Halla said. “Who’s coming?”

“There was a stirring,” Luke whispered by way of reply. “A profound disturbance in the Force. I’ve felt it before, weakly. I felt it most strongly when Ben Kenobi was killed.”

Leia inhaled in terror, her eyes widening. “No, not him again, not here.”

“Something blacker than night stirs the Force, Leia,” Luke told her. “This Governor Essada must have contacted him, sent him here. He’d be especially interested in locating you and me.””

-

“”I guess I’m probably the cause of that.” They all turned to face Luke. “Just as I sensed Vader, he no doubt can sense me. He’s had a lot more experience in the Force than I have, so his senses are probably stronger. Don’t forget, he was a pupil of Obi-Wan Kenobi.” He glanced back toward the shaft-tunnel leading to the surface of Mimban.

“He’s coming for us.”

-

“Luke felt a wild sense of elation as he brandished his father’s weapon. “I’m not worried about anything, Vader. Not now. I have no more worries and only one concern.” His voice held an unaccustomed hint of conviction. “I’m going to kill you, Darth Vader.”

That humorless laugh again. “What a high opinion you hold of yourself, Skywalker.”

“I’m… I’m Ben Kenobi,” Luke whispered in an odd way.

For just a moment, Vader seemed shaken.”

-

“Luke’s motionless form was enveloped in a rich, red bath of light. In his hands the crystal shone with a brilliance unnatural. Nor was the light still. It shifted, fluttered, ran over him like a live thing. It sought out every extremity, each finger and follicle, like the St. Elmo’s fire of old on the rigging of a sailing ship.

After several long, rapturous moments the radiant envelope shrank, sucked up by the crystal which resumed its normal coloring.

Luke sat up so abruptly that Halla was unable to repress a short screech. He blinked once, looked at her.”

-

“”I don’t understand,” Luke murmured. But he hefted the crystal again in both hands, closed his eyes and tried to concentrate and relax at the same time. The glow from the crystal intensified.

“I understand,” came a voice out of Luke’s body that might or might not have been Luke’s.”

-

Like Luke spends half the book scaring people and making them uncomfortable. He’s perfect. I love him.

And some more Luke scenes because these could go in wildly different directions and I need someone else to see them:

“”Oh no, Captain-Supervisor!” Luke cried, dropping to his knees and clutching desperately at Grammel’s trouser legs. “Please don’t do that. They’ll have us executed. Please, we’ll work till we drop, but don’t send us back there!” He was sobbing openly now.”

“Wiping tears conjured with difficulty away from his eyes, Luke tried not to appear too hopeful as he regarded Grammel.”

“Reaching with both arms, the Coway warrior clasped Luke around the shoulders and pulled. Luke thought he’d have to use the saber after all, when the native pushed him away gently. Then it slapped him on one cheek.”

“”Well…” Using his right hand, he belted the quiescent Coway hard enough to rattle the native’s teeth. Despite Halla’s assurances, he braced himself for some sort of violent response. Instead, the native displayed a satisfied expression and dropped to his knees before Luke as the crowd howled its approval.”

“Only his neck still bothered him. It ached at the back, where the Coway’s unyielding fingers had pressed.”

-

And, finally, here’s a collection of Leia lines that I can perfectly hear in Anakin’s voice:

“Turning serious, the Princess told him, “One learns to accept whatever events life has in store with the best possible spirits.” She stared straight ahead.

“That’s just what I’m doing,” Luke confessed, “accepting them in the bets possible spirits—nervousness and fear.”

“Well, you needn’t look at me as if this is all my fault.”

“Did I imply that? Did I say that?” Luke countered, a touch more tightly than he intended. She glanced sharply at him and he cursed his inability to conceal his feelings. He would have been, he decided, a rotten card-player. Or politician.

“No, but you so much as…” she began hotly.”

-

“”Do you have any idea who I am?” the Princess started to tell her. She caught herself just in time. “Not that it matters. What does matter is that you can’t do it, can you?”

Halla started to object but the Princess cut her off challengingly. “Can you?”

-

“”Temples, gods, crystals,” the Princess murmured. “Okay, suppose this legendary place does exist,” she hypothesized, jabbing an accusing finger at Halla. “This Kaiburr crystal, just what is it supposed to be… a big gemstone of some kind?””

-

“Still skeptical, the Princess sat back and looked in askance at Halla. “A small fragment of radiant glass or plastic, or an ordinary silicate treated to glow. You expect me to accept that as proof?””

-

(Honestly, the entire scene of them talking with Halla in chapter 4 is just filled with Leia being Anakin.)

-

“The Princess noticed her one victim recovering consciousness and kicked him soundly.”

-

“She concentrated her stare on the middle of the sergeant’s back, trying to drive him insane. The sergeant showed no hint of being affected. Probably solid bone under the helmet, she mused.”

-

“She whispered back tightly, “You have this wonderfully evocative way about you, Luke, of reducing the most excruciatingly uncomfortable circumstances to the merely mundane.”

Luke looked hurt.”

-

“”That’s funny,” noted the Princess, “because you strike me as having a particularly limited capacity for learning.”

-

“Thanks to the tactics being employed by the Imperials, Luke discovered that the Princess was too furious to be really frightened.”

-

(A lot of the earlier quotes also have this vibe. I love Leia so much.)

All in all, would I recommend Splinter of the Mind’s Eye? Sure. It’s 12 chapters, 298 pages, not too long, and it has the first lightsaber throwing, the first instance of Luke lifting anything in the Force, it’s the first mention of kyber crystals (spelled “kaiburr” but still), it’s one of the only times in the entire series Leia wields Anakin’s lightsaber (and she’s really cool doing it), it has if not the worst then a very poor portrayal of Darth Vader, and Luke and Leia both come back from the dead because of space magic. Really, it’s a rollercoaster of a read and I highly enjoyed it, somehow.

One of my absolutely favorite things about TLK2 is Zira's character desing, her eyes to be specific. Because we all know that Disney always gives their villains (male or female) the most amazing make up and sharpest eyebrows ever, just look at Ursula, the Evil Queen and Jafar, those 3 have eyebrows sharp enough to kill someone with them.

But i still find funny that despite her whole ass desing being so unique compared to other lioness, they still said "Nah, still not evil enough" and smacked some eyeshadow and eyeliner on her, jus look at her eyes:

Girl, what are you putting on your eyes? Because there is no way that is natural and there is no make up in the Savannah. I am not joking,i've seen other lionessess in TLK movies and no one other than Zira has this munch detail in their eyes, not even Sarabi or Kiara.

Make up artists really need to stop sleeping on Zira, because i've seen some reels on Instagram of make up artist painting themselves like Scar but not a single make up video of Zira, they would have so munch fun with her, the fact that there is no make up transformation video of her is criminal.
