"Nearly 25 Lazarii."

[paunchsalazar]

keep thinking about Scott and Wallace going back to their apartment for the first time since his presumed death (because I think even if they’re going to try and be a couple no way he’s moving in with Ramona after one date and an encounter with their future selves) even if his death might’ve gotten him out of their lease. actually.. now that he’s back… he probably needs to pay rent…

all his stuff is still there, except for the jacket, some clothes are still on the floor (because Wallace hasn’t really been home all that much, okay!) his toothbrush is still in the cup on the sink.. they have accidentally used each other’s so many times anyway, why throw it out…

getting ready for bed and getting into their shared futon.. was it always this small? can’t believe Wallace ends up living in a huge mansion and that Scott is still crashing at his place…

Wanna talk about Screamer while they were carrying Rapidfire? :3c

I think I've talked a bit before about this au, but basically: Starscream very badly hid a pregnancy, got away with it somehow all the way until he nearly died in childbirth, and it was only shortly afterwards that Knockout found the two

I wonder how much of Starscream's suspicious behavior was passed off as "just Starscream things" or " He's hiding something, But We Don't Know Yet, whatever could it be🤔🤔🤔"

(due to some specific biology going on in the au, Starscream didn't physically show much or at all, iicr? That or Starscream managed to up and fucking disappear on the ship for long enough to bridge the gap. But, then again, looking at Starscream's chest to hip ratio yet again, it was gonna be a struggle regardless) (kiwi bird ass motherfucker)

It would be funny though if a couple of the vehicons were right on the money with what was going on, but nobody listened to them.

I am torn on whether Soundwave, who seemingly Sees Everything Ever, didn't know somehow or he did and just neglected to let everyone else in the loop.

AU where xiao has no karmic bonds anymore and works in liyue’s food delivery services

idk wanmin restaurant is expanding its service and xiangling heard zhongli telling guoba (when zhongli visits the ex-stove god the conversation is really one-sided but zhongli doesn’t mind, he can ramble enough for the both of them) that xiao is looking for work, and yknow, xiangling’s seen the young adeptus here and there and he’s praised her cooking before, both she and her dad don’t expect running deliveries to be that much work (plus he can teleport, it won’t be that hard) and he’ll get paid decently, why not offer him a job? he can pilot the program for a bit and then they’ll see whether it turns out ok, the worst thing that could happen is getting 1 star reviews on sevenstars.tyv for “unapproachable and frightening demeanor of delivery guy” (sumeru scholars invented the internet a couple years back or something). 

obviously zhongli says yes for xiao, because he thinks xiangling’s suggestion can do the young adeptus good—trusty old common wisdom states that food warms the heart and brings people together, and xiao (or any liyuen) is not an exception. and of course xiao agrees to zhongli’s proposal because when has he ever refused a request from his god and savior. never! zhongli and xiangling both assure him that he can refuse or resign at any point and neither will hold it against him, but of course xiao takes his job extremely seriously, and if yanwang di- no, if zhongli daren wants him to do it, of course he will.

xiao doesn’t have any feelings on the arrangements because it’s just another thing to keep him busy lol but he appreciates complimentary almond tofu, especially since he manages to persuade xiangling to make it the traditional way he likes it and save her new and improved tofu recipes for Other customers to try

xiangling sends xiao to more remote places at first to avoid crowds, which he appreciates, one time he goes to qingce village and ends up meeting little luo again, he doesn’t even remember her until she exclaims “you’re the adeptus who rescued my doll!!” with a giant smile on her face... were humans always so blindingly bright? he stiffly gives the family his greetings, and tries to smile a little bit at the girl (she’s extra pleased by this, maybe he’ll ask zhongli whether he has good smiles or whether they look like grimaces). little luo... was it? he should get xiangling to send her some candy next time.

he gets sent to the chasm one time bc the miners ordered hotpot as an end of season celebration, and he finds a small little memorial to the millelith who died in the chasm 500 years ago. after delivering the hotpot ingredients, xiao climbs to the top of the cliff to pick a qingxin and offer it to the memorial. the other yakshas were always pretty fond of humans, so it’s only natural. 

when he gets a little more used to the city xiangling sends him to deliver stuff around liyue harbor itself—one time the delivery was for hu tao, xingqiu, and chongyun, hanging around wangsheng parlor. usually xiangling would join them herself, and the young opera director yun jin and their rockstar friend xinyan visit too, but the three were busy with their own plans that time and it fell to xiao to deliver their dinner: light translucent shrimp dumplings without carrots, a bowl of cooling soup, and filleted fish. he hears them playing a rowdy game of something (mahjong... with only three players? or maybe tcg.... but as a 2 v 1 game? he’s getting more and more confused by the second) before the door’s opened by hu tao; she seems really ecstatic to see him, except her smirk sobers up quickly once they hear chongyun shouting “hey! you stole my cards!!” regardless she thanks him for the food, and then tells him a joke that really shouldn’t be funny at all except the corners of his mouth quirk up against his will. of course hu tao notices this, she’s always been a mischievous child too clever for her own good, and she smiles even wider in return and tells him that he’s welcome any time in her house. if he brings a couple hilichurls along he’s even more welcome

and of course, a lighthearted scene where, surprisingly, zhongli also places an order, but it isn’t sent to wangsheng funeral parlor, xiao goes all the way to jueyun karst and delivers the order to cloud retainer, mountain shaper, and moon carver. they’re just chilling and zhongli is introducing them to take out. “so, what do you all think of wanmin’s handiwork?” xiao tries to leave before any of them can start droning on and on, but obviously he ends up spending the whole meal with them because nobody can escape the sheer force of zhongli and cloud retainer infodumps. the other adeptus ask after him and the meal is generally silly banter: there’s a digression on triangular cups,,,, some nagging for xiao to eat more, “look at my newest invention isn’t it wonderful”,,,,,, and other small and incredibly mundane nothings that keep the conversation flowing like the tea from their triangular cups. insignificant occurrences in more peaceful lives, and maybe xiao is learning how to fall into this new rhythm of things... maybe he even likes it, maybe it will bring him more smiles in the days to come

yknow yknow do you feel me

very aware that some of this might be super ooc especially the adepti thing at the end but hey they can be silly as a treat, cloud retainer and co deserve a bit of adeptal entertainment time

TMW a story you started to read for the screwball comedy of errors starts to become a thematic exposition on how, no matter how much you think you're a nobody, that if you have power, your actions will always have consequences. Yes, not all the things done are your responsibility - especially when other people commit them in your name - but if they were following the example you publicized (as opposed to your real self), then you for sure need to take responsibility. And perhaps that power you wield can become a fatal weapon or something you use to prove your superiority over those who don't. But maybe what power first and foremost of all is, is a gift given with a request that you be responsible for it, something that you need to own so you can either give back or simply understand how to manage it so you can live your life properly.

Just saw a tiktok regarding the Escape the Ministry game Ghost put out after their release of Phantomime, and me being the puzzle loving nerd that I am... Some letters are faded in the card you get for solving the puzzle and essentially 'escaping'. Those are i mim iii p.

I went off the lead of looking at what they represent in roman numerals, leading to the use in latin because old language etc. This is what I get:

1 100011000 111 P

Looks like binary right? Without the letter P, this is what I got in translation:

Æ

Further digging specifically in religious context, is

Ecclesiastical Latin, but also:

As a letter of the Old English Latin alphabet, it was called æsc, "ash tree",[1] after the Anglo-Saxon futhorcruneᚫ which it transliterated; its traditional name in English is still ash, or æsh if the ligature is included.

The rune is Ansuz.

Key Concepts: order, gods, Odin, transmission of intelligence, communication, reason, inspiration, language, breath, sound, origins of language, the Voice of the Universe, spellsong, casting, chanting, ancestors, passing of the breath along the ancestral line, evolution of gods, speech, poetry, discussion of runes, memetics, semiotics, etymology, linguistics.

I could be looking WAY too far into what it actually could represent but ngl it was interesting to say the least going own this thought trail.

NRC confessions (Valencia Karasu)

in which Valie wonders about something.

"Why does nobody in NRC say their friends with each other? Y'ALL, it is NOT lame to admit you got homies, like," Valie lets himself of the microphone, gives an exaggerated shrug and continues. "What's with this behavior, man, like...?"

"I'mma holler it it, right here, right now. Ace Trappola. You're a dickhead, but like we cool with each other, yeah? We friends! Now, now, he's gonna kill me once he gets this info, but yeah!" Valie points a middle finger to the camera, then continues, with a hand on his chest.

"Deuce Spade. My shawtie, my DAWG, you're the boss. Ye, ye, you tryin' you're best to make your mama proud, and I respect that completely. One-hundred percent."

"Grim, you're my best boy. You're so endearing, and sometimes you annoy me, but what kinda cat doesn't?" He can hear a small 'I feel you so much' in the background, chuckles, and continues. "When I leave NRC, you best become the coolest wizard in all of NRC, ya hear? I'll come back from my world to tell you otherwise."

OK but like. Noelle has a massive rose aesthetic. Roses on Teyvat mean secrets, something that outright gets brought up, by her, in the same hangout branch that confirms they're her favourite flowers.

So either she's seen some shit cleaning for people, and her lips are forever sealed, or Noelle is h i d i n g something-

For legal reasons: I don't condone this. Even though presidents now have presidential immunity for official acts.

Some commentary: it would actually be bad if a US president did this

Also: is it better for Trump to do it [abuse presidential immunity] first? Or have Biden do it now and have Congress freak out and ban presidential immunity in perpetuity which would also block Trump, at least theoretically?

Also: what do you want to bet that IF this happened and Congress DID freak out and ban presidential immunity, that they'd ensure the ban only covers *presidents they don't like* or just the tail end of the Biden presidency?

In conclusion: this is a morbid joke and social commentary, not a suggestion. Also why tf would Biden take tumblr user @sexhaver's not-advice. Biden are you on tumblr. WTF man

what if biden just drone strikes trump and then fakes dementia when confronted about it
