Got too much wool... their mom was a VERY wooly sheep (think equivalent of a baby doll) and although they inherited about half as much, it still is a hassle to deal with. Not exactly sexy, but it does give 70s Workout Clothes vibes!

Goat version here!

Every time we open our home to loved ones I remember that I’m very autistic and all my little routines and habits and environments get disrupted and I get more and more agitated and have to consistently remind myself louder and louder that I love them and that my suffering is temporary.

Classmate: One late night, you are up in your bedroom when you hear your mom calling you downstairs. You are halfway down the staircase when all of a sudden, you see your mom in front of her bedroom door, terrified, she whispers, “Don’t go downstairs. I heard her, too?” Who do you believe?

Caroline: The one calling me downstairs.

Cassidy: Yeah. They’re gay, not ghosts.

coraline anomaly au stuff. mostly hands. don’t judge them, I had no reference for any of them lmao

As for the doll, I like to think that Other Reader made a Sans one originally to lure him, but then after he gets to know them better they get to know each other, Sans asked them to make one of themselves. (he may or may not cuddle with it to help him sleep. shhhh, it’s a secret.)

enjoy while I attempt to finish writing things for this au. just a small thing (that probably will uh. not be small when I’m finally done with it) for an ask and also MAYBE something to expand on how Sans got a doll of Other Reader :]

(DO NOT SENT HATE NOR HARASSMENT TO THIS PERSON IF YOU HAPPEN TO STUMBLE ACROSS THEIR POST, I DO NOT CONDONE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR - ALSO DO NOT CLUTER THE TAG THEY STARTED WITH POSTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS)

First things first, I do not deny that some haters are hating simply for the fact that Miss Medrano is a woman and latina. I do not deny that. Keep that in mind.

And yet, what this person is insinuating is that everyone who came forth about their mistreatment while working under Miss Medrano/working at Spindlehorse, artist coming forth about how Miss Medrano would treat them and make stuff up about them - everything is alleged, for legal reasons - is a liar.

Did you catch that?

Everything, that these people say, is a misinformation and a blatant lie. Just a made up lie to ruin the life of poor Miss Medrano/s

And, I've been in enough fandoms to know what to expect and avoid to know to a certain extent expect, from fandom and the people in it to the point I'm not even surprised when certain things happen but *H*H* and *H*B* fandom keeps surprising me in more ways than one.

I've never seen a fandom with such a mental hive mind - and listen, I've experienced that rey/*lo fandom at its peak and their sometimes asinine takes, but they actually could reel their own in and I had a normal civil conversation with them - and the fandom grew and matured over the years so props to you guys.

But this fandom is getting childish and immature day by day and I still lack the understanding why. Is it because Miss Medrano keeps encouraging them? Is it because it is made of actual children - then again the woman who made it is in her thirties is the same way and a lot of adults in the fandom act the same way so I'm not going to throw everything on the youngsters in the fandom.

So to get back on track, to sum it all up, this person says that everyone is a liar, going after Miss Medrano who never did anything wrong.

One Piece Supernova trio Omegaverse idea my brain is milling over instead of letting me sleep:

Alpha!Kid challenging/goading Beta!Luffy in order to 'impress' the unmated Omega!Law, possibly not even wanting to attract Law as a mate just dumb hindbrain posturing kind of stuff.

Luffy not caring about designations or romantic/sexual relationships but fully responding to the challenges/goads because he's dumb and competitive like that.

Law being completely aware of the actual intent behind Kid's challenges/goads but now Luffy's turned it into a 'who's the better captain' thing he's also responding to them in a competitive way.

One reason I am so obsessed with Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs and my brain is so determined to take them seriously as cultural texts is because like. Their choices re: selective anachronisms and at times starkly different depictions of aristocratic family life in England between the late Edwardian era (for U/D) and the interwar period reveal SO much about the respective decades when they were made. Of course the shows' creators have a hand in this, and Julian Fellowes has a disproportionate influence on Downton, but like. Even apart from the town vs. country angle. It's a "domestic" case study of the 1910s-1920s from the viewpoint of the 1970s vs. the 2010s, and the show dates itself SO obviously in like...which parts of the present it lets leak, which parts of the past it regards with nostalgia or condemnation or sorrow or nuance, which events merit inclusion or even passing mention in the plot. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Hey! 👋 I was wondering if you know where I could find a list of which of Claudia's films she wasn't dubbed in? I feel like every time I look one up it turns out she was dubbed and I want to hear her real voice!! 😂

Hello! Thank you very much for asking 😊 I actually looked for a specific list but there is none on the net, but since I saw most of her films I put the list here.

Note: In her first appearances in Italian films, Claudia had few lines but they always had to dub her because she still had a French accent.

List of films with CC's own voice:

1.- Upstairs and downstairs (1959)

British film directed by Ralph Thomas, her appearance is short, she plays an Italian called Maria.

2.- Les Lions Sônt Làches (1961)

Here Claudia was in all her glory and was her first film as the protagonist. French film directed by Henri Verneuil, Claudia played the Parisian Albertine Ferran and we can hear her with her own voice.

3.- Cartouche (1962)

French film directed by Philippe de Broca and again Claudia in all her glory plays Venus in her own voice.

4.- 8 1/2 (1963)

Italian film directed by Federico Fellini and by his orders he wanted Claudia's natural voice without dubbing, in fact, Claudia plays herself. It is Claudia's first Italian film where her voice is not dubbed.

5.- La ragazza di Bube (1964)

Italian film directed by Luigi Comencini, it was a great success in Japan. Claudia plays Mara Castellucci.

6.- Circus World (1964)

American film directed by Henry Hathaway. Claudia plays Toni Alfredo.

7.- Gli indifferenti (1964)

Italian film directed by Francesco Maselli, script by Alberto Moravia. Claudia plays Carla.

8.- Il Magnifico Cornuto (1964)

Italian film directed by Antonio Pietrangeli. Claudia plays Maria Grazia.

9.- Sandra (1965)

Italian film directed by Luchino Visconti. CC plays Sandra Dawdson.

10.- Blindfold (1966)

American film directed by Philip Dunne. CC plays Vicky Vincenti, an Italian showgirl.

11.- Lost Command (1966)

American film directed by Mark Robson. CC plays Aicha Mahidi.

12.- The Professionals (1966)

American film directed by Richard Brooks. CC plays Maria Grant.

13.- The Queens (1966)

Scene from 'Le Fate: Armenia', directed by Mario Monicelli. CC plays Armenia.

14.- Una Rosa Per Tutti (1966)

Italian film shot in Brazil, directed by Franco Rossi. CC plays Rosa.

15.- Don't Make Waves (1968)

American film directed by Alexander Mackendrick. CC plays Laura Califatti.

16.- A Fine Pair (1968)

Italian-American film directed by Francesco Maselli. CC plays Esmeralda Marini.

Here is a forum where they discuss about CC's dubbing in "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968 directed by Sergio Leone) and I can personally say that it is not CC's voice, Leone shouldn't have dubbed her 😐.

From the 70's onwards, CC's movies are with her original voice. All these movies can be found on VK or OK.RU.
