Idk if you've seen these but I've seen some takes that Stanley pines would be inattentive in bed and I genuinely do not know where anybody got that impression

This man was on the run for years, he absolutely had a bedhopper phase at the beginning of his journey alone.

You learn a lot from that.

You're telling me he didn't at least come across some older italian lady that taught him a thing or two?

Also I think that his ability to please someone would be a genuine point of pride.

He probably gets his partner off like it's his duty in life tbh, an avid believer of "nice guys finish last"

I think that, in all honesty, all he wants is for someone to like him. All he wants is for someone to look at him and have love or adoration in their eyes, and once he realises he can get that, even for a few minutes, if he makes someone cum? Stan's all over it.

He hates being used but deep down he likes to be useful, the same as Ford.

While he was definitely a bed hopper in his time on the road, I also think there was a certain desperation to be liked within it, too. Stan wants so badly to be loved and I can see him being willing to fuck for that attention. Maybe they'll like me if I can just make them XYZ / Maybe if I do it better than anyone else, they'll see the value in me.

This is something that operates on a very deep level, though. His surface layers are very standoffish and defensive, but I think that emotion is roiling around down there for him.

Anyways on a less depressing note, I think older Stan is a little bit more greedy with his pleasure but he's not outright selfish. He can be, if he's in the mood to be a dick about it, but I think he enjoys getting other people off anyway. It's a nice reminded for him that he's 'good for something', even when he feels that he isn't.

In one of your recent Malevolent drawings you drew Arthur and John being tied by a thread around their necks and since everything in your designs has some sort of a meaning like John’s cracks, I was wondering what meaning that has?

Hehe I’m so glad you asked

So, you’ll notice that both the cracks and the threads only appear on John’s design after episode 26

I drew this quick guide after episode 28 so this was after we the audience learned about the existence of Kayne’s deal with John.

The idea is that initially, while Arthur and John were “bound” it was accidental, messy, not necessarily part of anyones plan. Since they were separated and now reunited, their bond has gotten stronger. Their relationship is no longer unintentional, they are tied together on purpose.

(Whether those wires appeared as a natural representation of their relationship when John came back, or someone else put them there to make sure they stay bound good and tight, well…John is definitely tied up in more ways then one now, isn’t he?)

(Another quick note because design is a constant process, initially I had the wires only around John’s neck, but I decided I didn’t like how that looked and it worked better with what I was trying to represent if they went around both, so if you see that in earlier artwork don’t think anything of it)

Earth is a terrestrial planet, despite 70% of it's surface being covered in water. It has a molten iron core, and has existed for about 4.5 billion years. It's the third planet out from it's star (a yellow dwarf).

The Cartologist: Oooh, interesting, is there more?

The Cartologist: Oh, is that what the song about cheese comes from?

The Coordinator: Yes, mortal planets that have had life for a long time do tend to experience multiple extinction events, which is one of the reasons it is important we tend to our duties.

I thought it was interesting what you said re the for good nonnie, and I’m really curious on what you mean when you say c!rainduo never fully understood each other. Would love to hear abt that!

yea for sure!! honestly it's a big factor of how i personally interpret their relationship. i don't have the vods on hand so this is gonna need an element of "trust me bro" but it's there

i think wilbur and niki were very good friends, but there were fundamental things to how they each operate that the other never really... grasped? it's something that isn't always explicitly said in canon, but always stands out to me. some parts aren't exclusive to just them, but it forms this broader pattern that spans them from day 1 to the end of the server.

the starting key to all this is the manberg-pogtopia era - wilbur is exiled, niki offers help, and he asks her to stay. there's a really telling interaction imo when wilbur and tommy are scampering around manberg (i think they were stealing supplies iirc?) and wilbur and niki have a conversation over in-game chat. wilbur asks niki to stay in manberg, and niki responds in-chat that she will, but she's visibly upset by the response and mumbles as such to herself afterwards. and after that, wilbur kind of falls into a mental pit, and he stops considering niki's safety in manberg until she is literally about to die right in front of him. and then he doesn't explain the "let's blow up manberg" plan at all, so niki is left with the realisation that wilbur tried to blow up manberg, presumably with her in it, without knowing just how quickly he sabotaged his own plan to save one of her lives...

and on niki's side, she's in the same box as everyone else when it comes to not understanding wilbur's issues in pogtopia. she agrees with fundy on nov 16 that wilbur has changed, and he's not the same wilbur from l'manberg anymore - she's still loyal to him, but she (like everyone else) doesn't really piece together that wilbur is suffering from mental problems that have spanned back to the presidency. he's just changed. he's not the same wilbur who was her friend (even if she still looks out for him the same way).

then when niki unearths the TNT underneath the presidential podium, she doesn't say anything or actively try to seek wilbur out (although they were all pretty quickly distracted by techno) - she trusts him, but she doesn't understand that wilbur has been giving off suicidal red flags all day (two of them explicitly onscreen, towards her - leading her to mushroom and giving her the blue, and arguably whatever happened with that coat offscreen) and that wilbur going missing right as she discovers the TNT is there and ready to blow is a massive, massive danger sign. and i mean, why would she. like everyone else, she thought that they won and that there was no reason why wilbur would want to destroy the place anymore. she didn't get quite how far he had spiraled.

it's that seed of misunderstanding that lets niki's feelings fester from doomsday onward. wilbur didn't kill himself, he abandoned her. it wasn't because he was dealing with suicidality, paranoia, delusions and pretty steep mood changes, it was because he actually never cared about her or anyone and all he cares about is chaos and destruction and he always thought she was a stupid, foolish dog at his heel. ghostbur's existence is an offence that tips her entire perception of what is real and what isn't. and when the target of niki's anger - tommy - is killed and revived, she has to shift all that unresolved grief and anger and misunderstanding onto the specter of wilbur.

starting to get into more fanon territory, i think wilbur puts niki on a bit of a pedestal. pre-death, even pre-spiral, the thought that she may struggle in manberg - that she's physically safe (which let's be honest, she was not) and that she will be fine - doesn't even cross his mind. despite being good friends, he never goes to her with his stress and worries as president. post-revival, he hems and haws over his apology to her for weeks before he makes it, and ironically he's been out of her life for so long that he doesn't even know she tried to murder his little brother. niki is a bit more proactive, but she doesn't understand wilbur's nature - largely, she doesn't understand his struggles with mental health (and he never shared them before pogtopia, and in pogtopia he was a whole other kettle of fish, so why would she?) and how it influences his behaviour. wilbur does a lot of shitty things, he does a lot of scheming, but he's never directly trying to fuck her over in the way she comes to believe he did. she was collateral. and that is it's own kind of pain, but it's not the mustache-twirling kind of disdain that she seems to think he had for her at doomsday and when she responds to news of his revival.

anyway. i think that wilbur's apology to her stripped back some of those misunderstandings between them (esp because niki had gone through her own mental health gauntlet by then, and come out with a stronger support network for it), but it was moreso about re-establishing that despite everything else, they still care for one another and that's what important.

girl im not talking about the fictional chars idgaf abt them im talkin about the REAL LIFE PEOPLE THAT UR ADULT ASS IS TALKING TO???? fuckin mirakira kiramichelle like they aint 14 n 15 while ur a whole adult take responsibility stop actin like im some chronically online girl who cant separate fiction from reality

Well then I’m sorry I misunderstood

I understand what your are tryna say now, so let’s set things straight, Mira is 18(turning 19 in April) and Michelle is 15(turning 16 in Nov) // (they both have made their ages public- so I wouldn’t share otherwise)

the whole ‘marriage/shipping’ thing is purely a joke. I love them very very dearly as friends, but I’m not attracted to them in any way. I understand how it could come across differently, I believe I have done the best of my abilities to make sure I’m not crossing any boundaries of theirs. If they ever told me they were uncomfortable, I would stop immediately. So far, neither of them has expressed any discomfort, so I believe we’re all on the same page.

neither of them has said they are uncomfortable with it, so I personally see no issue.

I also had older friends when I was a minor, and we would joke around similarly without crossing any lines. I’m aware of how these jokes could be perceived as inappropriate, and I’m always mindful of people’s boundaries. Michelle has been clear about hers, and I believe that if she felt uncomfortable, she’d tell me or block me.

About GFFC- (which are all of my friends on here) there’s a wide range of ages, and everyone does their best to be respectful and responsible. I agree that younger people should be cautious about who they interact with, but I believe that we’ve maintained healthy and appropriate friendships.

I am not attracted to any minors.

At the end of the day I think crediting the people who make the videos you guys use is the most important thing.

Hi it's slate anon your surnames post/the replies had me cackling and i love the idea of revali having a very Rito-sounding last name. on a more angsty note I do like to imagine he would pick his own last name (as per your orphaned hc for him) for one related to flight/archery. Writing his own destiny or something

For Hylians maybe because of Rhoam I imagine their names are just (Chosen name) (Middle name only royals can afford) (Place of birth). The royal family gets the surname Hyrule because they're meant to represent all of Hyrule and it's hard to convince the kingdom you serve them all equally if your name is literally Tabantha

So Links government name is Link Hateno. And with Hateno being a major settlement and Link being by far the most common name (as the name of the biggest cultural figure that's not sacred (ie hylia) or for royals (zelda)) he has the most basic combination of names ever it's laughable. there were 4 other Link Hatenos in his division only. If Revali writes a letter to his Link Hateno in the royal guard he gets a request back from the post office like "specify address rank and date of birth please". Being named Link he naturally had a number of nicknames but after he pulled the sword he just became Link. THE Link. But you already know who's taking whose last name in the marriage anyway

And good luck with your exam!🫡

(referencing this post)

HI SLATE ANON!!! 🫶🫶 thank you for the luck, i hope it rings true when i get my exam back 😭 come here and say hi @cryiling @iridescentgleam my anon thinks u guys are funny 😽

revali choosing his own last name because he was orphaned makes me so sad 😭💔 what if there's a rito traditional ritual where the family name is like. "given" to the child to formally recognize them as part of the family in a spiritual sense (connecting the child to all their spiritual ancestors of generations past). and revali's parents were killed before they could give revali their family name so he doesn't have one 😭 even though the other rito are allowed to tell revali what his family name would have been, he's not allowed to claim it as his last name because it wasn't given traditionally to him through the ritual and thus can't be "his" last name anymore and it ostracizes him even more from the rest of the kids. imagine getting bullied because you don't have a last name 😭

idk like the rito seem like a people of tradition, spirituality, and familial bonds like family is everything to them, therefore the concept of a family name is an extremely important identifying marker of each rito and where they come from. choosing your own last name isn't something that's common among the rito at all, because choosing a different last name than the one that was given to you as a child signifies that you have disinherited and detached yourself from your family. even people whose families have already passed don't just change their last names like that, because it would mean that their family spiritually would not have anymore descendents after that point.

in revali's case, his family is dead and he also wasn't given a last name so technically there's nothing wrong with him choosing his own last name, but the rito would have still been weird about it. when revali is chosen as a champion, he finally decides to choose his own last name and he chooses one that essentially means "one who perseveres." i'm spitballing a little here but maybe in rito script, it's basically like. a stylized way of writing the word "arrow." archery and the usage of arrows are important symbols of rito culture, because they're weapons and tools they use to hunt and protect themselves. they represent the rito's actual lives because of this and so became a symbol of vitality and perseverance. so in a sense, revali knows if he knocks his bow and his arrow always flies true, he will always persevere and make it out of a tough situation.

i like your idea about the hylian naming scheme! rhoam really is the only character in botw that has a proper full name, but since he's rich and royal he's not really hashtag Relatable ✋😒 it is pretty much the same naming scheme of the king in wind waker, king daphnes nohansen hyrule and i just found this reddit thread that gives possible etymological explanations for both daphnes and rhoam's names (daphnes = "person who was turned into a wooden boat of hyrule" and rhoam = "roaming shepherd of hyrule"), but i wonder what the narrative reasons they were named as such were. like are bosphoramus and nohansen the names of older family members or ancestors? do they have inherently royal meanings to them?

LINK BEING A COMMON NAME JUST GETS ME like you're absolutely right, of course everyone is naming their kid after a legendary hero in hopes that their kid will be Thee Link of the century but idk it's just so funny to me 😹😹😹 like "four other Link Hatenos in his division" YOU DKJFHDJKFHDHFKD link was NOT special until that fucking sword this fits in perfectly with his vibe of just being Some Guy.

ok but consider that rito don't really understand the idea of taking their spouse's last name when marrying because they have such a complex understanding of family names, spirituality, and their ancestors, so link trying to explain to revali that he wants to take revali's last name when they marry and revali is like ...? what the fuck are you talking about

link being like, "i wanna be a family with you 🥺" and revali being like "but what about your family???? you would abandon them so easily???" and link is just like. revali my family has been dead for a hundred years and my last name is literally hateno. DKFJDHJFKJD

the hoffnar and mantis shrimp connection is so real i can see it like one of those detective boards in movies with all the string and pins

it is a surprisingly common connection. i dont see your detective pinboard but i belive you anon

also it seems like the madcom fictive/kin community is full of marine lovers. we had sharks, shrimp, lobsters, got some crickets in the askbox too which is not marine animal but still unexpected. we started with bees and wolves and got progressively more specific.

An additional comment. Tom is a grown man. Lets not infantilize him. "He doesn't get to" is not the correct phrase. Either he doesn't have the opportunity or he has made a choice not to take the ensemble projects with a lot of people his own age like everyone else does and promote them as an ensemble. At this point I don't know which it is. If it's the latter, that's on him.

Florence and Andrew don't have to do the "are we sleeping together" thing to sell a movie. Almost everyone made it through the Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes without concern about Tom and Rachel. Sydney and Glen did have to sell that movie that way because they knew it wasn't good.

If Tom were to book a good project that turns out well, you sit there next your costar and talk about the good project. It was bumpy but Z made it through two press tours making it clear that they were all just acting and to cut the crap. And it's going to make the next press tour even easier. There's no reason Tom can't do the same, but he has to start somewhere. And to be honest it's not just female costars that's the issue. Aside from Jacob, when's the last time he even sat next to a similarly-age male costar to promote a project?

“There's no reason Tom can't do the same, but he has to start somewhere. And to be honest it's not just female costars that's the issue. Aside from Jacob, when's the last time he even sat next to a similarly-age male costar to promote a project?”

fabulous points, anon.

like I said, we’ll see what the future will bring but I’m glad we can have a somewhat civil convo about it rn

Yes, I want a happy ending, pleeeease 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Wait, answer me this —

Do we all have baby fever right now???! I can’t be the only one. I mean making babies with Tony fever!! Pregnancy, breeding and lactation kink seems to be popular amongst here, just thought I’d ask 😂

- owns a nike tech fleece

- someone who vapes despite not having smoked before

- someone who heavily smokes

- way more but those are the ones that come to my head when i think of icks

- nike tech fleece YES that’s literally such an ick bc we aren’t in secondary school anymore pls dress like an adult.

- i think someone who vapes FULL STOP is an ick like why are you inhaling flavoured nicotine pls?? GROW UP fr thats what the 16 year olds do.

- i don’t find smoking an ick but if they HEAVILY smoke then yeah maybe. bc i used to hang out with this one guy from work and whenever we walked anywhere outdoors he just HAD to smoke like he just couldn’t go without it and it just got tedious and annoying lmao.

in my ideal ending Mork gives Day a bouquet of sunflowers while they are in the Songhla on the bank they were years ago at Aon's wedding and Day drops to his knees, while holding Mork's hand, takes a ring out of his pocket and proposes to him.

ANON PLEASE DON'T REMIND ME OF WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD THIS REALLY GOT ME LIKE

im honestly trying so hard to make my peace with the way last twilight ended but every time i think about it for longer than two seconds i just end up having to talk myself off the ledge for the next two hours..... and even leaving aside the forced break up, day getting his sight back, and what they did to mork's character as a whole, im so upset we didn't get THIS EXACT ENDING YOU WROTE WHY COULDN'T WE GET THIS EXACT ENDING YOUR WROTE

LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORK FINALLY GIVING THE SUNFLOWER TO DAY!!!!!!!!! WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN DAY PROPOSING TO MORK!!!!!!!!! WHY MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL OF MORK NOT BEING ABLE TO GIVE THE SUNFLOWER TO DAY NOT ONCE BUT TWICE AND HAVING HIM 'FAKE PROPOSING' TO DAY AND IN GENERAL BRINGING UP WEDDINGS SO MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SHOW JUST TO THEN DO NOTHING WITH ALL THAT!!!!!!!!!

(actually i know why it's because in the end the narrative didn't make day and mork equals so of course the sunflower can't reach the sun and get caressed by its light but let's just. not go there)

ANYWAY IN MY HEAD THIS IS HOW LAST TWILIGHT ENDED THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH AN INSPIRED AND TOP TIER VISION ANON
