what’s the thing on your shadow’s ears? Other than the headphones I mean

They’re hearing aids! With gold accessories that were inspired by these photos I found

But there are so many variations bc hearing aid accessories can be so intricate and beautiful I love them so much

Ask meme - 6 and 9 for the dragon men (zhongli and neuvillette) please!

This took so long I am so sorry, but here we go!

[Character Analysis Ask Meme]

What is Neuvillette's biggest insecurity?

Neuvillette’s biggest insecurity is not something he's ever tried to hide. Anyone that has spent enough time with the Iudex has probably heard him mention it before. Simply put, Neuvillette doesn't understand the emotions of humans very well. He never has and sometimes he doubts if he ever will? How many times has this flaw of his costed him dearly in the past? How many mistakes has he made? And how many are there yet to come? How he dreads the thought.

What can’t you trust [Neuvillette] with?

To chase after you - Iudex Neuvillette is many things—polite, kind, intelligent—but he is not a man without faults. Only a few know him well enough to realize he holds many regrets upon his shoulders, majority that were never his burden alone to bear. Should you ever become the source of one of these regrets, you can surely expect to know. With somber eyes and a weight upon his shoulders, he will apologize to you. But don’t expect anymore than that. Not understanding human emotions is not only his weakness, but a prison. He will not attempt to make things up to you nor will he try to make things how they used to be. You’re best off where he can hurt you no more, even if that means he will be left alone to the rain.

What is Zhongli's biggest insecurity?

Who knows lol.

What can’t you trust Zhongli with?

With mora - As knowledgeable and talented Zhongli is with many things, it is a surprise to many to hear that businessmen don’t exactly enjoy making deals with him. How can they when contract discussions always leave them with the [shorter end of the stick]? How many [unforeseen business expenses] do they end up incurring in such a short amount of time? In the end, they always lose more than they gained. What they don’t know is this unfortunate occurrence happens with any Mora dealings with the man. But what can you expect for someone that, by contract, has the Traveler liable for all expenses during his outings with them? It's simply best to leave all matters of mora out of any relationships with him.

With your heart - If there's one thing true about Zhongli, it's that, while he may withhold the truth, he does not lie. So when he speaks of a person warmly, they can very well believe his words to be true. That being said, it is important that one does not mistaken his warmth with depth. One cannot simply entrust their heart to him and expect his in return. How could anyone hope to understand the weight of many a millennia, after all? So while the desire may be cute, it'll never be something he would even consider to reciprocate.

One Piece Pacific Rim AU.... anyone?

looottsss of ideas below the cut...

Luffy - Completely disregarded his grandfather's wish for him to join the marines and flew right through jaeger academy like he was meant to punch kaiju. Has this ability to win most peoples hearts, which helps with the fact that plenty of pilots can drift well with him.

Zoro - Struggled for a while to match with a pilot and almost lost his chance to become a ranger when his projected partner dropped out suddenly. Zoro doesnt drift well with most pilots but despite this Luffy insta-clocked him as his true co-pilot when they met (and he was right and theyve been inseparable since).

Nami - the chief LOCCENT officer who oversees jaeger missions from the Shatterdome. One time, her troubled past came back to bite her but Luffy and Zoro helped her out of it. Shes been protective of them since and does everything in her power to ensure they get home safe.

Usopp - a jaeger tech weapons specialist who did his best doing jaeger engineer work for good ol' Merry as well. Always has ideas for improving the j-tech they use and implement. Incredibly grateful he can do his part, but nice and safe in the shatterdome.

Franky - came on board towards the end of Going Merry's life. He's the jaeger engineer responsible for the Thousand Sunny and does well with its upkeep and upgrades. (Allowing Usopp to focus on being a weapons specialist).

Chopper - doctor for their medical team as well as a kaiju science enthusiast and frequently visits the k-science lab when he's free. He has been working and researching kaiju biology and how humans, minks, and fishmen may benefit from the kaiju remains.

Brook - a retired jaeger pilot who went on to teach at the jaeger academy as a kwoon fightmaster. He's quite adept at playing ranger match-maker and was the one to ensure one of their best, Zoro, could match with someone. Has moved up in ranks since.

Jinbe - Hails from and is also a retired jaeger pilot from Fishman nation. He does a lot of work with fishmen-human relations, which has gotten a bit easier after a common enemy invaded their world. Due to all his leadership and his prominent role in the war on kaiju, he was promoted to marshal to lead their shatterdome.

Robin - a private investigator and information dealer of sorts who slipped into a consultant role for their shatterdome. She has many connections and is well versed in the kaiju black market world as well--which is how Chopper found her.

Sanji - the ranger who matched but dropped out last second on Zoro. He fled due to his biological family finding him and trying to bring him home. He went full-time as sous chef at the Baratie with his adoptive father Zeff. The Baratie is still a restaurant that goes out to sea, but has to dock more frequently since kaiju became a problem.

what’s Bright Storm like? Since she didn’t get fridged like every woman in the original dotc series

She was always curious and dependable. Bright Storm's the kind of gal who would give you the shirt off her back if she wore a shirt to give you!

Long before they set off on the Sun Trail, she would occasionally confide in Clear Sky how much she wanted to see the world. Travelers aren't unheard of; this was before the Tribe split into its 3 separate Wards and welcomed a lot of comers and goers, but it's not that no one had ever left before. It was more that she had friends and family she was committed to.

Clear Sky pressured her into it, reminding her of how much they'd see, how they'd raise their kits somewhere new, and that he'd be sad and alone forever if she didn't come. Every chance he got, he was bringing it up. He was always her weakness, she hated letting him down.

Her dependability was based on how good of a listener she was, even Gray Wing the Wise appreciated it. She was always keeping an eye out for people's wants and needs, making connections between little 'tips' she'd heard from one source or another. After Gray Wing's death, she found herself in demand for this ability.

She couldn't make a plan quite AS good as xem, but she was better at making a plan into a 'group project.' She'd brainstorm and encourage everyone to join in, putting their brains together until it all fell into place. She could be good at delegating authority based on it, too, though Tall Shadow had much more confidence than her.

And really it's her confidence that holds her back, and can you blame her?

She tried to keep Jagged Peak alive for a moon, but barely caught enough for herself, let alone him AND her unborn kittens. But how could she go back to the camp and just pretend he wasn't out here, dying?

When she goes shuffling back with her son in tow, it was humiliating, it was heartbreaking. It became soulcrushing when Clear Sky rejected her again. With just a few words, she doubted everything.

...was she capable of knowing if she was interpreting this sign correctly? ...had she done the right thing, or did she just make everything complicated? ...he's right, it must be her fault the other two died, if she hadn't--

Tall Shadow interrupted this thought spiral, but Clear Sky is like an infection in her mind. She'd tell you, in a moment of shame many years later,

"I wasn't strong enough to beat him. No no honey, I mean it like the truth. Clea-- Skystar now, he's powerful if nothing else, and he makes you believe it too. It's a special sort of person who can say no to that. I said a lot of his words before I even realized I still had his tongue in my mouth."

Bright doesn't realize how smart she is, because she's so smart she realizes how little she knows. And that can make her doubt herself. She's genuine and caring, but susceptible to more self-assured people making her doubt her own judgement.

But there's no one else Thunder Storm would rather have in his corner, that's for sure.

Ignore all logistical considerations of "would they ever meet each other under these circumstances". If you don't think Jules Bashir would have chosen to join Starfleet, imagine he is on the station for some other reason, or they meet in some other location.

I wanted to make this poll because I've seen various fics where Garak reassures Julian that far from being upset over him being augmented, Garak is grateful for it, either explicitly because (he thinks) they wouldn't be able to have their usual conversations if it weren't for the augmentations, or simply because he likes Julian "just the way he is" and wouldn't want him to be "different". I disagree that Garak would think like this (or at the very least, I think Julian would react negatively if he did, rather than be reassured), so I wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts.

HEY DIDU GET A LOT OF VOTING MAIL?

this is what the ACTUAL absentee ballot envelope looks like if you've been waiting for it and aren't sure if it's in the pile of other shit they send out!!!

it will have this logo on it and also specify that it is "official absentee balloting material"

every 'official' looking piece of mail i got for weeks i thought would be it and wasn't, my ballot was returned to the city clerk office so i went in and picked up a new one in person

-

YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!! i am holding your hand, i am prepping a blanket fort for you to crawl into and hide once you get back, it's ok, we can do this<3

IF YOU'RE MISSING YOUR BALLOT, check vote dot org, or, just google your city/town and 'election office' or 'municipal clerk', you can go in and let them know you don't have your ballot yet and would like to cancel what they sent out and pick up a new one in person, you may even be able to just fill it out there and hand it back to them all in one trip!

i'll rebagel with some links i can get a better pic also if anyone needs sorry i was just sending it to the gc but then decided to also post ;w;'

For those off Twitter (you lucky beasts), blocked users can now see your content so it's basically useless and he's added more AI junk. It's getting more and more unbearable to use that website by the day

I've been hiding on my Twitter private account bc I can choose who can view my posts, but I desperately want to get back into using Tumblr bc it's not Twitter, lol. I'm still a little socially anxious about posting here for some reason...? I remember liking this website more, idk how it switched

ANYWAYS... I may start dumping a bunch of little things here, not sure what yet, but there's the update
