I do NOT want to see what Baxia diving for a hug with Jin Guangyao looks like. x_x Poor guy will think Mingjue wants him murdered.

@little-meowyao Baxia is a Great Dane that thinks its a lapdog. JGY is not sure how to communicate to a volatile sabre spirit that it is most assuredly not.

continuation of this sword hug saga...

it's occured to me that a lot of my favorite Donna tropes are just "Donna does stuff she shouldn't be able to."

like let her bully the Doctor into trying to teach her Gallifreyan and them be shocked when she actually starts to pick it up. have her and the TARDIS communicate and the ship indulge her whims a little when she's irritated with the Doctor. write her and her Spaceman getting into some touch telepathy shenanigans and have it turn out to be far more two way than they intend.

i don't even need a justification for it. we've got an easy handwave for just about anything with the metacrisis, but. unnecessary. i will eat it up regardless

ID: A series of gifs from the avatar episode The Beach. A teenage boy offers to carry Ty Lee's bag. She hands it to him and he immediately falls over from the weight of it.

Hey, you need some help unpacking? / Sure, thanks!

Oh, good. The people who can't read a linked article on a post they reblog, much less open a separate tab and look into something themselves, are gonna tell us what is and isn't legit

Help a girl out, Jheselbraum

Takes place in the same AU as this post

Smol Ford got injured, Mabel is severely doubting her level of qualification to continue being his cool sci-fi aunt guardian, and Jheselbraum is trying to play therapist (it is not the first time)

Transcription:

Mabel: HE'S SO SMALL AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING JHESELBRAUM AND HE ALMOST DIED I'M BAD AT THIS AND

Jheselbraum: But he will recover, Mabel, you cannot let yourself lose hope due to this-

Mabel: GIRL HELP ME I'M NOT READY TO BE A COOL SCI-FI AUNT JHESELBRAUM

Jheselbraum: "Mabel, please"

rdj the (whitewashed) electric boogaloo

This is a reminder to everyone who's excited about RDJ's casting as Doctor Doom that this casting is whitewashing. Victor Von Doom is a Romani character and has been a Romani character since his introduction in the 1960s. (Fantastic Four Annual #2 [1964]) Not only that, but his Roma identity and the persecution he and his family faced due to it is integral to his character, it is what forms his identity. (Books of Doom by Ed Brubaker) Even if on the off chance this casting is meant to not be Victor but instead be some variant of Tony or whomever else becoming Doctor Doom, it is damaging to the character to rob him of that important cultural background. Doctor Doom does not exist without that history. Fans have been pushing hard to cast Doom as a Romani actor for years, especially since the MCU has whitewashed other Romani characters. (Wanda, Pietro, etc) This casting is not a celebration moment, it's fucking heartbreaking that the MCU repeatedly ignores the important and nuanced cultural backstories of characters.

I know I can't change anybody's mind on whether or not you want to be excited about RDJ's return to the MCU. But I do think at the very least you should be mad that the MCU is baiting us all and destroying nuanced and interesting characters for the sake of self-referential easter eggs and nostalgia bait. Because that's what it is. Feel how you'd like to feel about RDJ's return, but personally, this is soul-sucking. I had such a deep love for the MCU as a teenager, it was obviously something incredibly formative to me, especially Tony Stark. This isn't recreating what I fell in love with the MCU for. This is turning a well-planned and artistic storyline of adaptations into cheap cash grabs and fan service. Because, I think we're past the point of being able to call the MCU an adaptation of anything. They can use existing characters' names and powers, but to say they're being properly adapted is laughable.

This is not an adaptation of Doctor Doom. This is RDJ the Electric Boogaloo because Marvel's fear of losing the interest of dedicated MCU fans overrides their willingness to tell stories that are genuine to the characters. I don't know what there is to be excited about that. The MCU has lost its authenticity and aside from a few projects, feels heartless. Every movie is a copy of a copy. This announcement isn't something celebratory, it feels like a death knell of a cinematic universe that's so desperate to cling to relevancy it's resorting to nostalgia for a character/actor who hasn't even been dead for a decade. We're not getting anything new, we're just rinsing and repeating the same song and dance.

I get it. I love Tony Stark, his death destroyed me and I to this day, rue the ending he got in Endgame. It misunderstood his arc and it robbed him of a satisfying conclusion. But the solution to that isn't dragging the corpse out of the grave five years later to whitewash an existing character with rich and interesting nuance, just to forcibly tie his existence in the MCU to Tony. Whether he is a variant or not. Why would you want someone else's fave's legacy to be destroyed simply so your fave's legacy can go on? Hell, if we were really all so hellbent on the return of RDJ and/or Tony to the MCU, we have the multiverse for a reason. There were other ways to do it that didn't whitewash and ruin someone else. This just. Isn't something to be happy about.

One thing I haven't seen discussed at all (which doesn't surprise me much) is the part where Charles said "My mum was just quiet"

And the part where she sobbed while he was being belted but she also didn't move, and the way the scene finishes strongly implies that Charles had to take care of himself after

And there are many, many, many reasons why she would have done that and she was stuck in a shitty situation regardless of what she did or didn't do

But you cannot show me this and expect me to assume Charles has uncomplicated feelings towards his mum

gross tumour images under the cut for those of you who like that sort of thing

very vascular growth we removed from the hock of some kind of samoyed husky (? idk it was 100 pounds and fluffy and white with blue eyes) thing. owners opted not to send off for histopath because it would have cost them like $400 which was a little disappointing because i would like to Know but i get it

I never noticed before, but Killcode honestly gives off Dust and Killer vibes both- At least in my heart-

-Stardust

RIGHT THO???????

KC is like. Both of their murderous swag + Killer's whole entaglement with a human that it hates with all its soul (hah) + Dust's ominous and eery swag with a hint of flourish. plus tbh I'm a husky voice Dust truther so if u RLLY wanna stretch then u could maybe say that KC's voice is vaguely what their combined voice would sound like HEJABDH

hi kai :3 good morning!! i have another question for you: what chicken is ranpo?

omg...this is a hard one...

after some reddit based research on what the smartest chicken breed a general consensus seems to be rhode islands reds . and they kind of fit his colour scheme

[livvyofthelake]

also fun fact. you can effectively punch holes in plastic glow in the dark stars using a push pin and a rock and just pressing it really hard into your carpet or something so it doesn’t damage anything once it penetrates the plastic. in case you ever needed to know that
