Note
It's really stupid that many EO fans are making a big deal of Rollins coming back at the start of the season.
Like, both shows could have explored more on EO at the start of 2023. But they didn't. Only thing was that one scene before the crossover event started. That's not Rollins' fault.
So I see no reason to blame her for delaying EO. It's not her fault the producers wanna keep baiting EO longer.
I think they're frustrated, but it is very much misplaced blame.
Ultimately, Dick Wolf will be the decision maker re: EO. Rollisi are more "B" couple territory and the writers probably had a lot more freedom to get them together. The B couple always move faster than the A couple in every single show, because the stakes are lower.
It's easy to feel resentful because we "got it all". I won't get into the sheer amount of Rollisi development that happened off screen, but from their persepctive, Rollins is getting scenes they think Liv should have. The bigger problem last season (but also in s22/23) was the amount of screentime wasted on music video montages and introspective thoughts of perpetrators and trauma porn showing the crimes. They would have the space for both Rollins and Liv to have those kind of scenes if they went back to a) not showing the crimes and b) not taking 5-10 minutes to bring in existing characters at the start of every episode.
Not to mention, the only person Liv has had meaningful conversations about Elliot with is Amanda. She might as well have been talking to a wall the back half of s24.
I understand why they're upset, but Rollins isn't taking anything away, she's adding. Also, Mariska and Kelli are clearly thrilled to be back filming together - Mariska probably pushed for her to come back - as they're so fond of saying she decides.
#also would it kill them to let rollins fans enjoy the moment just once#it's not like we got our ship within 2 seasons either#we waited 7 years#svu#amanda rollins#rollisi#anon#ask

My comic is so pretty...
The hiatus is letting me take a little extra time on these episodes, and I'm definitely putting it to good use!!!
#almost done with my 8th episode... which will give me. two weeks. of buffer...#id really like at LEAST a month... but to be more comfortable id like two#which means 2-6 more episodes before I come back!#I've got about 7 weeks so its possible. but i do still have to finish book 4#so much to do ..........#I decided for my next comic im doing 3 updates a month.#having 10 days instead of 7 to make an episode is such a huge huge huge difference...#difference in quality and in my health!#anyways the comic is really pretty im really happy with the work im doing rn#the environments especially. im getting to spend a nice amount of time on them and theyre turning out so nicely#its nice to be able to write with a lot of different environments and not have to redo panels when I get to them cause of time#cause every time theres a wild angle? you need a new background...#so sometimes. often actually. there just isnt the time to make the backgrounds for those and i have to make them more flat...#which is fine. it doesnt really affect anything narratively. but. idk. it's kinda sad right?#anyways yeah! 10 days will be much better.#36 episodes a year is about what ive been uploading with my hiatuses on the weekly schedule anyways!#so might as well cut out that super stressful middleman and just commit to that#52 a year is just such a huge difference and i have to accept its not possible to me#i will hurt myself trying to do that. and i want to make comics my whole life!#so i cant push myself that hard now and sacrifice my future. we're gonna go slower after this...#anyways yeah cant wait to come back but also time. if I could get an extra week like a secret one just for me#where theres no chores no nothin just me and my work#thatd be great! so go ahead and do what you gotta do to give me a little pocket dimension#me: ugh i want to return right now...#the more logical me: NO we need the time to finish everything!!!!!! NOT right now!!!!#time and time again#ttawebcomic#comic panels#hiatus stuff#adam and steve

#because… we wrote one idiot 😭!!!#I guess wp and nbs just learned that black ppl have our own National anthem and are of course spazzing tf out#just… write one?#yourselves??? if this is such a big deal like kskskskskl#there’s no arguing with racists but this is still funny#I saw a few black folks not know about it but they probably either went to white schools or aren’t from America so they missed out on#having to sing lift every voice and sing for 5 days a week 8 years straight#I only sung it for 7 since my 8th grade teacher didn’t care if we did it or not#I just didn’t feel like standing up sorry and I’m sure her lazy ass didn’t either that’s why she didn’t care lmfao#no wait I did do it for 8 years because my mom made my teacher hold me back in 3rd grade 🗿…. so#crying#you can feel the antiblackness roll off of that ‘s’#rambling

I just noticed I didn't tell you yet--which is shameful as it is Tumblr where the Mermaid Scientist was born! My Mermaid Book was picked up by Eye of Newt and is available for pre-order right now (it's coming out very soon, though, so any orders should make it until Christmas if that's a concern of yours)! If you're in North America, I'd suggest ordering directly through my publisher's website, however it's available anywhere you'd usually order books. You can ask your favourite indie book shop to order it for you or--if there's no other option or you're worried about crazy shipping costs where you live--it's available via the place starting with A, which shall otherwise not be named, as well. Please note: This is an edited version of the original book. It's shorter, but with more coherent world building and a beautiful new layout and design. It's a proper field guide now!
#Mermaid book#books#mermaids#field guide#art book#this makes me a traditionally published author-illustrator now :DDD#when we talked about editing the book for publication my publisher was like#we love Dr Lillefisk#Let's keep her!#Now she's in the title!#I made her up on a whim!#Her name is just grammatically incorrect Swedish#I love it so much#just thinking about how everything started and came together#and the book changed and grew and now#7 years later this is where we are!#my publisher send me the video btw#I can't wait to get the book myself!!

FF7 REBIRTH SPOILERS ft A THEORY OF MINE
"Emptiness"
I may be reading too deep into this but bear with me. Sephiroth doing his damned best to reinforce that Cloud is nothing, that everything he feels his fake, that he's a puppet pulled along by Sephiroth's strings with no real purpose of his own. "Your tears are empty" is a line that really stands out to me, because Sephiroth insinuates that Cloud isn't a person and has no true substance as an individual. He's a shell.
Then much later, in the dream-esque Sleeping Forest, Aerith wants to spend one of their final moments focusing on Cloud, focusing on "finding the real [him]". Then Cloud hands Holy to Aerith, and she gifts him the clear materia in return, presumably having taken up Holy before she leaves. Aerith theorised earlier in the game that Holy was probably powered by her memories and dreams, and having lost them to the Whispers, to fate, has rendered the materia useless.
Basically, Cloud aptly describes not-Holy with, "It looks empty".
An empty man holding onto an empty materia.
I don't know, man. The thing about being given an empty thing after being told and tortured with the idea that you yourself are an empty thing is getting to me.
Part 3 is most likely going to deal with the fallout of Cloud's broken psyche and piecing him back together to "find the real [him]". I'm theorising not-Holy is only restored once Cloud has finally figured out who he is and what he wants to do.
Because materia isn't just the crystallisation of mako and the Lifestream. It's the physical representation of hopes and dreams and desires. The Black Materia was created to deliver the Gi from their unending existence. The White Materia ensures the prayers of the planet are answered.
And now not-Holy belongs to Cloud, so that whatever he finds in himself will fuel not-Holy and provide it with new purpose, maybe even allow him to finally heal after over two decades of suffering, because as Aerith said, "it's about saving the world — and you"
That is all
#ff7 rebirth spoilers#HOLLERING UNTIL I GET GIVEN FF7R PART 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WAIT FOR YEARS#GENUINELY SO DISTRAUGHT OVER THIS GAME. FUCK#“maybe aerith doesn't die!!! maybe cloud saves her!!!!” oh sweet summer child past agni we got something even MORE CONFUSING#this has been on my mind all night. couldn't stop thinking about this. and also the fact that cloud needs cognitive reconstruction surgery#YEAH SO MATERIA JUST BEING THE SOLIDIFICATION OF NOT JUST MAKO AND THE LIFESTREAM#BUT ALSO THE DESIRES OF THE SOUL#YOU ARE HOLDING THE PUREST ASPECTS OF YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN HANDS#YEAH. ANYONE ELSE THINK ABOUT THAT#im going to cry about this forever now. and think about clerith...... fairwell#cloud strife#aerith gainsborough#ff7 rebirth#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy 7 rebirth#agnirambles

A3! Outing Event Translation - You're my first and last love. (10/11)
*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi
---
Izumi: (The butlers’ day had just begun, yet Alfie kept making mistakes such as burning the newspaper and dropping the silverware.) (Unable to overlook it, the head butler summoned Alfie.)
Logan [Sakyo]: “Do you why know I called you here?”
Alfie [Masumi]: “…Yes.”
Logan [Sakyo]: “You may still be an apprentice, but you aren't able to perform the tasks you were able to yesterday." This is an alarming situation.”
Alfie [Masumi]: “…I wonder if I’m qualified to be a butler.”
Logan [Sakyo]: “That's an unbelievable statement coming from someone who passed the examination to become a butler for this household” “Have you grown tired of this work?”
Alfie [Masumi]: “That’s not it.” “It’s just, I… I’m in love right now.”
Logan [Sakyo]: “…”
Alfie [Masumi]: “The first time I came to this mansion, I was in a panic since I got lost and thought I wouldn’t make it in time for my appointment.” “But then the young mistress saved me.” “After that, when I fell, she would extend her hand out to me. She even tended to my injuries from time to time…” “Before I knew it, I fell in love with the young mistress who treats everyone equally without any distinction.”
Logan [Sakyo]: “…”
Alfie [Masumi]: “In this place where love is forbidden, I fell for the person I serve of all people. I don’t have the right to continue working here…”
Logan [Sakyo]: “It’s not that ‘love’ as an emotion is prohibited.”
Alfie [Masumi]: “…Huh? But you said it was wrong for Elise-senpai…”
Logan [Sakyo]: “I wasn’t talking about the emotion. I was talking about his behaviour. Dating someone just because they confessed to you is not something to be praised.”
Alfie [Masumi]: “…”
Logan [Sakyo]: “Sometimes, strong emotions become your strength.” “For example, if you have someone you’re head over heels for, then you’ll do anything in your power to make them happy and smile. Isn’t that right?” “And if you have someone you don’t want to lose to, then you’ll improve yourself even more than how you are now.” “No matter what type of feeling it is, someone who carries a strong core is a strong person.”
Alfie [Masumi]: “How are you so sure about that?”
Logan [Sakyo]: “…I’m the same way as you, after all.” “If you’re tired of this job and wish to take your leave, then I won’t stop you. If not, then get back to your work.”
*walks away*
Alfie [Masumi]: “R-Right away!” “…I see. I’m free to love her.” “Now that you mention it, the head butler complimented me for the work I completed because ‘I wanted to make the young mistress happy’… right?” “Huh, but that means… the head butler is my love rival!?” “…” “No, that’s fine with me. These feelings of mine won’t lose to the head butler! I’m sure of it!” “So from now, I’m not going to lose. Not only in work, but also love. After all, this emotion is supposed to give me infinite strength!”
*applause*
Izumi: (I wondered how it was going to turn out when they told me they wanted to do a play. But even though it was short, I’m glad it conveyed a strong message.) (Emotions become your strength. That’s certainly true. I’m sure everyone feels that way since they genuinely love acting)
-pause-
Izumi: (Yep, it looks like the audience has cleared out. We should start cleaning up soon.) Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Masumi-kun and Sakyo-san’s team for a while now. Where could they be…?
Sakuya: We finished taking our pictures!
Misumi: Yep. Let’s post them on inste later~.
Azami: You sure they’re okay? Hisoka-san’s eyes are closed.
Hisoka: …It’s fine. That’s a kind of fanservice.
Azami: Are you being for real…
Izumi: Ah. Great job, all of you! I was wondering where you were, but I see you were taking pictures.
Sakuya: Yes!
Izumi: Hm? Masumi-kun and Sakyo-san aren’t with you?
Azami: Ah, right. I think those two are still in the building.
Izumi: I see. Thanks for letting me know! (Are those two taking photos?)
-pause-
*door opens*
Izumi: Ah, you two—.
Sakyo: “We have been waiting for you, fair lady.”
Masumi: “Now then. Who shall you choose between him and I?”
Izumi: Huh…!? (Bouquets of white roses… Does this mean I’m supposed to accept one of their bouquets? But…)
Masumi & Sakyo: “…”
Izumi: …I’m not going to choose yet. Sorry about that, boys.
Sakyo: Well, that’s what I figured you’d say.
Masumi: As expected.
Izumi: Huh? What do you mean…? And what was up with the bouquets?
Sakyo: These? They’re leftovers from the set we had. Throwin’ the roses away was a waste, so we took some of them and made them into bouquets. We could’ve just handed them to you, but we decided to act out an etude that fit us.
Izumi: I see. So that’s how this came about.
Sakyo: That’s how it is, so won’t you take it? If you don’t mind.
Izumi: Fufu. I’ll happily accept it in that case.
Masumi: Take mine too.
Izumi: Are you sure?
Masumi: Of course.
Izumi: Thank you! I’ll treasure them. I have to ask Tsumugi-san how to arrange them once we get home.
Masumi: … (You said “yet”.) (In that case, I’ll continue to love you today, tomorrow, and beyond so that you’ll choose me “one day”.)
Masumi: …I’m not going to lose, you hear that?
Sakyo: Hmph… you wish.

literally figured sorcerer!kristen's freshman year design out the moment I sat down and attempted to brainstorm (rubs hands together fly style) we eatin good today boys
#not art#riz is my specialest boy whom I love dearly everything I do I do it for him but kristen is like instant kinship to me#adhd haver to adhd haver communication. adhd haver to adhd haver comprehension#and ohhh I'll have a Lot of fun with her design esp. freshman year bc shes diametrically opposite to how she looks in canon#which is to say: slightly maximalist#off the top of my head I'm already thinking pippi longstocking influence so mens size 40 shoes and mismatched socks#and matilda a little bit (at least on first day she's trying so hard to figure out business casual) so dress or blouse#and of course she's kristen so cargo shorts#if this sounds deranged to you: yeag#I think the only thing holding me up rn with her is her arcane focus#I am thinking. very hard. I dont think she'd keep the shepherd staff given its connection to the heliolic faith#but I do think it has to be 1/decently big 2/of an eye catching color 3/attached to her pretty much 24/7#Ive been thru this rodeo before babeyy if its not chained to u it will be Gone in the blink of an eye#. wait. I think I have an idea. it will be fun to harken a Little bit back to ally's other sorcerer character#it would also be like a vibe flashbang. I think we got it. stay tuned

Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from all formats. Virat, Rohit, Jadeja have retired from t20s. Ishant Sharma is basically retired. Mahi the leader amd the captain left the international arena. Raina and Yuvi are gone. Bhuvi and Rahane's comeback looks impossible at this point. Ashwin is mostly a Test bowler now. The team that I've watched and loved since childhood, which made me fall in love with cricket has gradually left the game, leaving behind an incredible legacy and even better memories.
#tho i love this new age of indian cricket this was the team which made my 7 year old self shout and scream at the tv#and watching them leave will always hurt#I'm still not over dhoni's retirement like we wait for an entire year just to see him play for less than two months#and i can't even imagine what rohirat's retirement will do to me#indian cricket team#desiblr#ict#cricket#somi.exe

Happy Winter Solstace! We made it!
The day is 5 h 20 min long here. I am so done.
#usually I can't wait for Christmas break#marathoning BBC pride and prejudice and LOTR and endless reading and sleeping in#but this year it's entertaining toddler 24/7 which is not very relaxing#plus our plans might fall through so we spend Christmas at home which might be a bit depressing since we have done zero preparations#oh well

genuinely easier to cope w the looming prospects of datv when it was 70 days away than it is now that we're currently sitting at 22.
#like is anybody else STRESSED#i am NERVOUS and FEARFUL rn#like its mostly excitement but its also the fact that like#its so close. but SO fucking far away. i feel like we've been sitting at ''three weeks away'' for six weeks lol#and yet !!! in 22 days we WILL all be experiencing in real material time the result of 10 years of waiting#i mean 7 for me but yknow.#and like. all the idle headcanons and ideas and thoughts about everything will be definitively proven or disproven#and suddenly the lore gets BIGGER and more QUESTIONS are raised#but then some questions will be answered forever. thats so crazy#and its like what do we even do w ourselves afterwards. wait another 10 years lol ?????#anyway my eye is twitching lol i should not be drinking caffeine for the next few weeks maybe lol
