That's a lie…!! There's not a single good thing about him…!! He didn't try to help either Mom or baby-me…!! He's really evil at heart…!!

He's as evil at heart as that shirt said!!

I remember that fic, it's pretty good!

Have you ever given Cold World on AO3 a read? Same Gohan kidnapped by Raditz premise though focused more on Gohan's relationship with Vegeta. But it's interesting because Gohan's a lot more angsty and edgy than the one we know but still canon Gohan at his core and for once Vegeta gets held accountable for how awful of a person he is haha

...your tempting me more with vegeta being held accountable, and yeah, i def think its more realistic that gohan should be a bit edgy/angsty

Its been recommended to me quite a bit but the narrative focus being on gohan and vegeta and not on raditz and/or nappa just.. def biases me against it. Im sure its great but that feels foundationally wrong to me.

Ugh. Someday- In 3 years- I'll read it. And ill probably love it. But gotta mentally prepare for saiyan saga vegeta apologetics

Tears of Themis and why you should play it

Tears of Themis is a mobile otome game from the company HoYoverse/MiHoYo who brought us the games many know and love: Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd and Zenless Zone Zero.

Tears of Themis was released in China in 2020. The game has 4 male leads. The game is a romance game with crime solving elements and is set in the fictional city Stellis in the year 2030. You play as a junior attorney MC who has the code name Rosa (her real name is customisable) and with the MLs you work together to solve crimes and mysteries.

Both the story and characters are extremely well written and it’s a breath of fresh air compared to other otome games. The story is fun, romantic and thrilling. There are times where you will kick your feet in excitement, gripping your phone in suspense and other times where you will shed tears. The game explores multiple romantic genres/tropes and its psychological elements are interesting. It’s a game for both experienced otome players and those who are new to the genre. It is free to play and it’s rather easy to obtain the story cards you want.

The MC is kind, empathetic, stubborn and intelligent, in other words quite likeable. She is a true girlboss.

The first male lead/love interest you met is Artem Wing, a 29 year old senior lawyer and MC’s partner. He is a calm man who works hard towards his goals. The media calls him an emotional less robot, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. With his sometimes awkward demeanour when it comes to his crush (MC) is rather charming.

The second male lead/love interest you met is Luke Pearce, a 24 year old private detective and the owner of an antique shop. He is what one could call a golden retriever with his playful personality and his overprotectiveness over the MC who is his childhood best friend. His enthusiasm is a very likeable trait and it’s easy to get attached to him.

The third male lead/love interest you met is Vyn Richter, the 27 year old famed psychiatrist with two doctor grades and a mysterious past. His intelligence is remarkable and he is a master with his words. Vyn is man of many talents and he is always looking for a way to impress MC. He is rather cunning and has an enigmatic aura which draws you in.

The fourth and last male lead/love interest you met is Marius Von Hagen, the 21 year old heir of a multibillion company and an art student. He is what you may call a playboy with his teasing personality and his charming appearance. He is as all the other love interests extremely intelligent. He loves teasing the MC and it’s hard to say no to his puppy eyes.

The game play

The game consists of a main story with multiple chapters and side stories with the different characters. There are also events.

In order to unlock the different episodes you battle with cards which you can obtain by “pulling”. The SR and SSR cards each have their own stories. The card battles are easy to get the hang of.

So do like our girl Pela and play Tears of Themis<3

I needed some brainless gameplay so I picked up 3H again and continued my weird "gotta collect a ref for all of the students as dancers on my own instead of using google" and I really, REALLY missed Dancernand. My son is still probably one of my favorite dancers to have.

Also I still like letting him obliterate enemies with a hammer. It's really fun.

ALSO, though he isn't a dancer in my Church run, I think it's funny he loves to crit so much + he has the Fraldarius crest item so that tacks on another 15 damage on activation (during crits) so his numbers go big. I love him.

Just watched a two hour video analysis on Franziska’s character and I always love when video analyses draw out parallels I’ve never seen before… but also WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE’S PARALLELS BETWEEN TURNABOUT BIG TOP AND PHOENIX, MILES, AND FRANZISKA’S ARCS IN JFA

DON’T MAKE ME LOOK AT THAT CASE WITH A CRITICAL LENS DONT MAKE ME THINK ABOUT THIS SHIT 😭😭😭

[livelaughlovelams]

as the #1 von steuben fan, can you reccomend me some good sources on his life? (would be great if they acknowledged his sexuality but im pretty desperate at this point)

love ya <3

AYYYY OKAY

First of all I'm so honored

So here's some book recommendations first:

Washington's Gay General

Okay, I admit, at first I wasn't sure about this, but it was actually pretty accurate. It did miss out some details that disappointed me, but overall an actually good source, so I recommend! (About 1-2 hour read)

The drillmaster of Valley Forge

This is a 352 page biography by Paul Lockhart. It's pretty standard and DOES mention his sexuality, think the style of John Laurens' biography if it wasn't written by a southern conservative. So yeah, I recommend! (About a day or two, if you have enough time.)

Du Ponceau's autobiography

Look, I KNOW everyone is talking about this. I KNOW everyone is hyping this up, but try it. Just- I- try it. Its mostly pretty boy trying to find out how America works, but Von Steuben is nonetheless prominent.

AND YUH!

EDIT: I AM BACKK!!!!

I also recommend "General Von Steuben" by John Palmer! It's actually great, but it does, unfortunately, dismiss his sexuality. This is, however, by far the best biography I've found so far.

(I'm also thinking of submitting some short little biography to some website or whatever, if you want more than lemme know, I am SO HONOURED to help. If you want more concise sources besides books, OF COURSE. I AM HERE TO HELP OMFG I LOVE YALL♥️♥️🌎)
