teaching pomni how to dance

what type of music would they dance to? i dont even know! but i think dancing with your partner or teaching them how to dance is the peak of wholesomeness!! actually adorable...

the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

I watched Gentlemen Prefer Blondes out of an excess of boredom and unwillingness to do any of the things I actually have to do today, and (a) it really is staggering how attractive Marilyn Monroe is, even when next to Jane Russell; (b) Jane Russell is tall. Not excessively (wikipedia says she was 5'7" and intensely Christian, also surprising) but she's taller than most of her castmates and it shows; and also (c) I found out that it was based on Anita Loos' novel by the same name, which was a thinly-veiled send up of the Roaring 20s, with her writing her contemporaries into the stories. This does make me feel slightly robbed, because I think this film would be even more interesting if it was set in the 20s, America hovering on the cusp of financial ruin and partying with increasing, feverish hope of no tomorrow; Lorelei being aggressively cavalier about everything except having money, and dragging her more sensible, if sarcastic, co-conspirator around Europe with her.

There's probably not a better example of a love-hate relationship than me and the ballet Onegin.

Like I love the piece to no end. But I positively HATE so much of what Cranko did with the source material and its characters...

i liked that narrator for the audiobook i was listening to the other day (about the hollywood former child star) (american accent) so much that when i saw him on another book in the library list i took it out and was so shocked when he started narrating with an australian accent that i had to turn it off again for a second

I've read most of the Boreo (book only) fics that appeal to me. Now I have to go in again and see if I can warm up to anything else. And I have to (:/) write some myself (://!)

this pisses me off so much bc you people literally hated these girls to the point they were crying on stage and losing all their confidence, they hated their concept and they are also ofc trapped in one of the companies with the worst idol treatment history ever and now you want to talk abt an "redemption arc" ???? when other idol groups can't even hit the right notes and yet still get away with it bc they're young (underage) and pretty ??? the hypocrisy is insane

🔥 dancers I guess lmao

i think fates having an early game dancer is a really neat concept that rev and especially conquest utilize really well! i get the criticism that “dancers are busted and should be mid/late game only” but without azura being there the game would have to be designed a lot differently and things like chapter 10, one of the best maps in fire emblem, would be fundamentally different without her. early game fire emblem is unique due to your lack of resources, so i think giving intsys another stab at incorporating a dancer into that having learned from fates would be really fucking awesome. i love dancers <3

also idk if this is unpopular but everytime i see someone say “i bench [dancer] immediately because their combat sucks and theyre useless” i wanna gouge my eyes out. its one thing if they just dont suit your playstyle like thats super valid!! but saying theyre objectively bad is just. wow! um!!! okaaaay… sorry you struggle with positioning but thats not ninian’s problem actually

so weird how everyone lies to you when they think you’re beautiful

For today’s video, I give you one of the longest standing Christmas Extravaganza traditions: The Virgin Mary and The Virgin Mary Dancers cheering up Santa with their burlesque rendition of “Santa Baby” feat. Sabels, Suspenders, and Stripping. The ‘Nice List’ always was overrated, anyway. Choreo by @cogrobs, Costumes by @bren_bash
