Jabari does this with all of wemby's art because he doesn't grip the concept of creative freedom

[rabbitcrimes]

When people are like Wei Wuxian was NOT suicidal it’s like. Ok sure. He just believed that his debt to the Jiangs should be paid with everything up to and including his life. And also that the moral and obvious thing to do in any situation is to put himself between anyone and harm's way. This is because he thinks he’s unkillable but he makes himself unkillable for the same reason he’ll die for a good enough reason: because it’s a way to have worth!

And then famously once everything goes to shit he does beg Lan Wangji to let him die as part of the moment where he is either destroyed by his own evil magic or lets his own evil magic tear him apart, a distinction I don't personally think matters very much at that point. Less explicitly textually, his mentally ill ass behavior after he gives up his core says to me that he wishes that he'd died honorably for Jiang Cheng when he had the chance and doesn't know what to do with himself since he hasn't.

Again I’m aware that he’s operating under a pretty specific set of culturally informed norms as a cultivator and member of a sect but like. TO ME. Everything about how Wei Wuxian conducts himself indicates that he has a box in his mind at all times that says 'in case of emergency break glass' and what’s inside the box is his own death. All the sound of mind actions of a man who has a normal and not suicidal relationship to death.

ready to pounce and um, warning for next pic! Teeth!!

pov you were thrown into the dome and were, in fact, not the main character

[aq2003]

idk if david also plays it this way for the stage version but i'm listening to the audio drama version and i love how he does the "duncan is in his grave / after life’s fitful fever he sleeps well" lines like macbeth is actively jealous of how duncan can have this eternal peace and safety of sorts in death while he can't

[lord-prey]

Adam doodle but how I imagine he looks like when he’s older and messing around with demons a lot lot more. I imagine he’s slightly more mean spirited/willing to mess and tease others more

Adam actually gets his ears pierced when he’s older so he doenst have to use clip ons anymore as well

Random thoughts about gender headcanons.

[gayedmundo]

he's actually really racist though lmao why are you defending him like that

Dream has said racist things and had very bigoted views when he was a teenager, yes. I don't deny that, nor does he. He grew up in a white conservative area with a conservative family. In the gaming community. That doesn't excuse racism obviously, and anyone who is uncomfortable supporting him because of that has a right to do so. But he has apologized for all of it, owned up to it, and I truly truly do believe he has changed as a person and educated himself. He's 24 now and the most recent offensive screenshot was from when he was 19. You grow a lot in those years. Of course, I'll never know what he says and believes off camera, but from the way he speaks about it all and the way he acts now I genuinely believe he is a very different person than he was then. I think that change is a good thing and recognizing that people can grow out of their bigoted behaviors they held when they were young is a healthy mindset to have.

I'm defending him because no matter how much you don't like someone, I don't think misinformation is okay. Calling someone a pedophile isn't some accusation you can just throw around without proper evidence, because it can truly ruin someone's life. Seeing people gleefully cheer all of this on and callously making jokes about him liking little kids and replying to underaged fans of his telling them that "they'll be his next victim" and telling grooming victims that "they deserved it" because they support Dream is fucking insane. These people don't care about victims, they care about dunking on a youtuber they dislike and getting a hit tweet out of it.

[hirazuki]

For the send me a character, how about Orochimaru?

Oh NO, you’ve opened the floodgates XDD

(look at how cute that laugh is ^^)

First impression

WHO IS THAT HE IS SOOOO COOOL <-- me, seeing that 2 second introductory shot of Orochi as a silhouette with a snake wrapped around him, when Anko gets a flashback upon seeing the faceless Grass shinobi.

I continued to find him cool and awesome and gorgeous and fascinating after meeting the character properly, and after the "double suicide" scene with Anko I became utterly obsessed and haven't let go since XD

Impression now

Actual role model. Like, no joke. I honestly aspire to be as fashionable, as unperturbed by everything, as badass, as content with my place in life, and as successful with grappling with my inner demons/mental health/PTSD as he has been. I know this is not how most people read it, but his character arc is one of the most inspirational, motivational, and hopeful stories I've ever seen and I have not been the same since I finished reading the last chapter of the series and realized Kishimoto was going to do the unthinkable, unprecedented move (especially in shonen) of letting him go; letting him undergo reformation on his own terms and for his own sake -- not the world's sake and not forced upon him by the "heroes" as a condition to ensure his survival -- while also not regretting or apologizing for anything that he's done. Yes, he did have to go through “death” to change, but even so, the strength of will it takes for someone to be able to look at their own life objectively and go: I need to change, especially when their behaviors and beliefs are a result of trauma response, is insane. I still can’t get over it, how he went from a child totally fucked over by the world to a teen and then adult fucked over by the system to being so, so incredibly unhealthy in reaction and as a way of coping to clawing his own damn way out to being one of the most stable, healthiest characters in the series. It’s actually caused me to step back a bit and revaluate my own life in certain ways. 

Also, he has the distinct honor of being the only character I’d want to be adopted by!

Favorite moment

UGH so many. His run in with Anko in the Forest of Death; the sequence where he and Kabuto are walking to find Tsunade and the “Loneliness” track from the OST is playing; the scene where he and Kabuto appear for the first time and they’re talking about villages and peace; also when he returns to Konoha with Team Taka to get the mask and reverse the shinigami seal and he talks to Suigetsu about Sasuke seeking closure; when he stands up for Sasuke against Tobirama and moves protectively next to him and Suigetsu dives behind him for cover and is clinging to him; when he tells baby Itachi that life has no meaning; when Sasuke goes to his hideout post-war for a lead on Fushin -- that entire conversation but particularly when he places a hand on Sasuke’s shoulder as he walks by; the conversation they have in the row boat shortly after; his conversation with En Oyashiro at the end of that mini-arc; like, all the moments with Mitsuki in the Boruto series, but especially when he doesn’t want Suigetsu stressing Mitsuki so he body walks him out of the room saying he needs his help with an experiment and he’s the experiment.

... that’s definitely more than one lmao, but he’s so important to me, I just can’t pick XD

Idea for a story

So many. So, so many. I'm a sucker for missing scene type of fics, and there are so many blanks in his early years and actually right up to when he shows up in canon at the chunin exams. Stuff like: when he joined Akatsuki, he must have recognized Konan and Yahiko/Nagato; his reaction when Tsunade left the village; when Itachi joined Akatsuki (Itachi Shinden goes into this briefly, but not enough to sate me XD); his parents and how they died; Akatsuki missions with Sasori; his genin team with Nawaki; him and Anko; him and Danzo, and why he was never in Root despite working so closely together how would Danzo have let him in on high level intel/experiments without ensuring his silence by sealing his tongue. Also, set in the later part of the series: his reaction to Jiraiya's death; his infinite tsukuyomi dream.

I'm actually planning/have drafted fics for most of these, as well as a super indulgent "what if Orochi brought Itachi back to life for real" fic set in the Boruto era :)

Unpopular opinion

.......... he's not that bad XD

No, like, for real. Within the context of the Naruto world: he's really not the ultra monstrous horrible war criminal psychopath villain that both many characters and many fans make him out to be. He's done bad things the way many, many other characters have also done bad things, the main difference is that -- after a certain point -- he does them for himself and is unaffiliated with a larger organization and that, apparently, is where we largely draw the line lmao.

Favorite relationship

ALDKJAFKDFJKJFDS this is so hard, he's got such great dynamic with literally everyone. I love his relationships with Itachi, Naruto, Mitsuki, Team Taka, and, of course, Sasuke --

but I think Kabuto takes the top spot. They've got a superior-subordinate relationship that is just a little too messy and codependent to be strictly professional and constantly bleeds into the familial and Orochi for the life of him cannot help but be a teacher/mentor (it's like, a compulsion lmao), so to me, Kabuto ends up being in this grey zone of the first of his adopted children but also somewhat more of a younger cousin or a nephew than a son because this is Orochi's first time as a parental figure, so Kabuto ends up co-piloting quite a bit more than I think Orochi ever intended or expected.

I also like to think that, after the war and after they've both had some time away from each other, they don't necessarily "repair" their relationship, but they eventually become on good enough terms that they can do like, group projects with the Hokage on stuff like the Otsutsuki, for instance. I like to think that Kabuto is fond of Mitsuki, and that Orochi is very happy seeing Kabuto come into his own and find his own place, even if it's not at his side.

Favorite headcanon

I’ve talked way more than anyone wants to read, and tbh I’ve been so closely intertwined with this character that at this point I don’t really remember what’s canon and what’s headcanon lol, so let’s keep this one light:

His favorite flavor is strawberry.

It’s got a basis in canon, because any time he takes someone sweets or someone brings him sweets, it always seems to be strawberry (strawberry mochi, strawberry daifuku, strawberry zenzai, etc). It’s never confirmed or anything, but. it’s there. And I have adopted it XD

[that-starlight-prince]

I guess it's a sign of how increasingly comfortable or second nature not being a man is getting for me that now when I read something like "I could fix him" I just sort of internally have a reaction like "well that's not referring to me" before then saying "but i guess i can still reblog that"

[leatherdyketerror]

ken was so real for saying he had all the genitals in the barbie movie btw.

[nonbinarymissdude]

it's so annoying to me i can't present the way i want and act the way i want without people trying to invalidate my gender. i AM a man! men don't have to have any particular body, or features, or behaviors to be men.

[koipalm]

hello! i was wondering since idk if you care about or plan on doing anything ssss related anymore, could you post all your notes/information about stranded au? i really love it so much and i need to rotate all the facts around my brain lol thank you

GODDD that was such a fun au ive been meaning to go back to it for a while now. i actually went looking for the notes bc i vaguely remember writing them down but i genuinely cant find them anywhere... if i do find them ill post them though!

ive posted most of what happens in the lead up to it, but the rest of it was fairly vague. i knew i wanted emil to be there for months, hence the changing of seasons, but a lot of emils daily actions were really just surviving. he went inland once the supplies at the rendezvous point ran out & returned to the cat tank to restock, but moved on to an abandoned house like the one he and lalli fortified themselves in. aside from trying to find food and water, he also turned to the books for survival skills & entertainment to pass his days. he mostly got food from trapping or scavenging, n he stocks up on fuel & anything incendiary he can find along the way, probably from old abandoned expeditions & forts. once reynir is able to find him again (which took at least a good few weeks) the mages r able to help guard emil when hes asleep, but not awake, so hes on his own on that front LOL. he does get some warding symbols to draw around the place. i do remember very clearly hes able to set up a radio (i think it was ham radio) in order to get in touch with the others, & has to find a broadcasting station to communicate with the crew, who by this point were pretty skeptical of the mages saying he was alive. he eventually gets attacked at the station & it destroys the equipment, so hes back to only the mage trio in his head. i had a few ideas for how hed get back, but the last one i was making notes on was the bridge they came in on that collapsed behind them. in order to send similar expeditions out, (and in partial hope to reclaim the land one day) it starts to get rebuilt. the crew (who had stayed in iceland to keep trying to reach emil on the radio at the mages request) eventually find out and let emil know to immediately start heading that way, because hopefully construction would be finished by the time he got there. he gets part of the way there but gets waylaid by trolls, and has to stop. he eventually scavenges an old dirtbike from a fort and takes a last ditch effort to reach the bridge before he's overwhelmed. he uses the last of his fuel on the bike and his flamethrower and definitely almost dies with the amount of noise and commotion he makes and some of the faster trolls chase him to the bridge and are shot down by the soldiers protecting the construction and he's able to meet the crew waiting for him on the other side :] aaand thats all i remember of it lol

The Robot Uprising Began in 1979

edit: based on a real article, but with a dash of satire

source: X

On January 25, 1979, Robert Williams became the first person (on record at least) to be killed by a robot, but it was far from the last fatality at the hands of a robotic system.

Williams was a 25-year-old employee at the Ford Motor Company casting plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. On that infamous day, he was working with a parts-retrieval system that moved castings and other materials from one part of the factory to another. 

The robot identified the employee as in its way and, thus, a threat to its mission, and calculated that the most efficient way to eliminate the threat was to remove the worker with extreme prejudice.

"Using its very powerful hydraulic arm, the robot smashed the surprised worker into the operating machine, killing him instantly, after which it resumed its duties without further interference."

A news report about the legal battle suggests the killer robot continued working while Williams lay dead for 30 minutes until fellow workers realized what had happened. 

Many more deaths of this ilk have continued to pile up. A 2023 study identified that robots have killed at least 41 people in the USA between 1992 and 2017, with almost half of the fatalities in the Midwest, a region bursting with heavy industry and manufacturing.

For now, the companies that own these murderbots are held responsible for their actions. However, as AI grows increasingly ubiquitous and potentially uncontrollable, how might robot murders become ever-more complicated, and whom will we hold responsible as their decision-making becomes more self-driven and opaque?

Notes: I guess I’m just on a roll today. Haven’t touched this account in like 5 years and now here I am— Posting 8 things in one day. Go, me!

(I can see you, minors. Get outta here 🤺🤺. BACK! BACK, I SAY!)

“Fuck— Yeah. Like that, pretty girl.” Vander huffs out. Barely able to breathe, like a fish out of water. With practiced grace, you roll your hips, the fluidity of your movement reminiscent of a seasoned dancer lost in the rhythm, every shift a seamless blend of control and expression.

Vander’s head can no longer bear the weight of how you were making him feel—tilting backward as his neck gives way. It falls against the headboard, the movement slow and weary, a silent surrender to the beckoning of pleasure.

His eyes fall shut, and his breathing becomes erratic—quick, needy, shallow gasps. The only sounds he can manage are strained grunts, desperate groans, and breathless utterances of your name.

Your hips swirl, bearing your weight down on his thighs with your hands. You lean back into them, your movements slow but insistent, each one designed to draw him further into the frenzy—relentless in your pursuit to push him beyond control.

Your own insistent whining mixes with his, a symphonic blend of desperation between the two of you.

His hands are kneading your hips inexorably. Almost as if he’s scared to let go. His nails feel desperate to burrow under your skin with the way he’s clawing at you.

“You’ve got magic in these hips, love,” he says, his voice hushed, as if your motions had cast a spell— urging him to speak.

You can’t speak, your breath ragged and uneven as you picked up the pace, leaving you too consumed by the urgency to form a single word. You needed more. Not just of his words, or the deliciously whiny way he spoke. You were already stretched to the limit, every inch of you aching, yet the hunger within you refused to be sated. You craved more—more of him, as a whole.

If you could, you’d dissolve into him, merging into one single being, where every pulse, every breath, is shared between the two of you—inseparable, bound by desire.

“So good, pretty girl. You’re doing so good. Don’t think I can take much more, love.” He grunts, his eyes fluttering open to find you again, the sight of you cutting through the hazy state of desire he’d been gliding through.

He had been a fool to ever look away—how could he ever let himself look away? You weren’t just beautiful; you were everything a masterpiece could never capture, an intoxicating blend of grace and fire, more captivating than any sculpture or painting, alive and burning with an allure that consumed him whole.

“Fuck.” He grunts, unable to form a single coherent thought, let alone words. Every impulse in him screamed to voice the things he couldn’t hold back, to tell you what was racing through his mind. But your movements—each one more demanding than the last—silenced him, keeping his voice captive, lost in the frenzy of the moment.

“My girl. My pretty girl.” Is all he can muster before you’re both crashing into each others like waves against a cliff.
