erm me when I gain 5 lbs in a week while doing omad

[syn0vial]

imagine vader trying to do his trademark "disciplinary force choke" thing on boba after he gets a little bit too impudent, and boba just gritting his teeth and pushing forward until he's close enough to force vader's actual physical hand around his throat, not even remotely as a gesture of devotion or obedience but fully a declaration of, "you think i'm scared of you?? you think you're so precious you can strangle a man and not even get your hands dirty??? let me show you exactly how little i think of your pretentious fucking magic tricks, you pompous wizard fuck 🤬"

and meanwhile vader's just standing there with his hands full of Angry Bounty Hunter like, "unfortunately, i have decided this one is my Favorite :/"

How?

How can NaN be a number?

Because to me, it doesn't feel very numberly. Like, at all.

Number Tournament: NOT A NUMBER vs ALEPH-NULL

aleph-null (countable infinity)

Jason what did you mean by this babygirl…

I love how some performances of the mechs have some tidbits about their characters

This has some implications that I really want to think about, Jonny aims his gun at himself during the like instrumental part of One Eyed Jacks then gets startled and aims at someone else.

I think it's just pretty neat

How is my best friend Arthur has he helped you baldur any gates

He’s been good! My washing machine broke last week and I hauled it out the other day in preparation for the new one and he’s been loving his new Top Secret Hiding Spot.

We are taking a little bit of a Baldur’s Gate break right now just because I was getting burnt out. We’re slowly making our way through Mass Effect Andromeda for the second time. I’m very excited to get back to BG3 tho.

I left off right at the start of Act 2. I’m playing a Githyanki monk named Ez’rai and spent way too much time coming up with a backstory for them. I’m going to be romancing Wyll this time. I think Ez’rai growing up in such a harsh culture that didn’t have room for soft romance will go together in such a fun and cute way with Wyll. A noble’s son who is just so sweet and romantic and good.

We went from “still just getting to know each other” to full on fanfic courtesy people mag in exactly 14 days. Do you think this could mean it will be short lived? Seems to be moving fast.

I don’t know what is going to happen because I don’t know what her goal is beyond simple publicity for the movie and 1989 tv (and just in general being seen dating a man which is important for her image and for selling music) and we’ll have to wait to see how it goes. I still stand by it likely to be short lived but whether that means November or March, your guess is good as mine. I think I’m currently leaning more in the March direction as being most likely, but it could be tomorrow or it could be forever or whatever she said in Blank Space.

In case anyone’s keeping count, I also have pretty much settled on all of this being well planned out in advance, including his appearance at the July KC tour in the first place. I wouldn’t be surprised if it had been planned for a very long time, just like Matty was.

1) have them linked publicly (for Travis it was the concert and friendship bracelet digits story). Sit back and watch the reaction, and give it a bit of a push in the right direction. With joe this was all done retroactively, after their relationship was “accidentally” leaked we found out they hung out in Oct. With Matty this was done over the course of late 2022-early 2023.

2) soft launch it by announcing an appearance ahead of time to get all eyes on it, while planting stories that they’ve hung out a few times, to establish a timeline back into the summer (august 1ish). Have her publicly meet his mom and get her approval. Again, with joe this was done retroactively, where we found out she had pined over him all summer and their anniversary was sept 28, and we’ve even now got a hook up on Aril 29. For Matty, she met his mom in stage 1), then this stage was her announcing the break up on Matty’s bday, and then planting stories that they were dating, that he’d go to Nash and there’d be PDA, and then stories that she thought maybe he was the one who got away, and had quietly been in love with him for almost a decade.

3) launch, but keep it casual. There’s still time to back out if things go poorly. People have time to get used to it and talk about “are they or aren’t they” serious, and you can control the narrative via media outlets and inside sources to set people up the way you want them to lean, all without even having them seen together more than once or twice. Set up a casual photo of them that seems to taken without their knowledge in a private moment. (Balcony with joe, private club with Matty, after party in KC with Travis.) This is far as she got with Matty then she cut her losses. Or I guess you could argue they had spilled into step 4). It’s a spectrum. With joe, again this was done retroactively but also the summer of 2017, no one knew how serious they were until secret sessions/rep came out.

4) hard launch during movie opening weekend. WE ARE HERE. For Matty this was probably supposed to happen during speak now release. But who knows. For joe it was reputation’s release.

5) Optional: push things hard until enough people seem to be generally getting tired of it. I assume this is next with Travlor. No idea how long this will last. Days or weeks I think. With joe this wasn’t a big deal because of the privacy narrative. No one could get tired of something they never saw (though they could get bored of it which was ok at that stage but boredom is the opposite of what she wants now.) With Travis I think this stage will be more of an important thing. If you go back to Calvin, this stage was most of their relationship.

6) cool things down so then people talk about “are they or aren’t they still together?” This was a constant with joe. I think this was just at the end for Calvin and the answer was they weren’t still together.

7) relaunch so everyone is excited to see them again. Steps 6-7 happened a lot with Joe naturally because of the privacy narrative. Will travlor get to this stage? I think so but it will be much accelerated. Like nothing for a week and people will wonder. Then, bang, she’s there again. Something like that.

8) ongoing: periodically lightly escalate the seriousness of the relationship. We’re already in this stage and it will continue. There is current chatter about her house shopping in KC. The usual (she actually BOUGHT a house one time for a man. And remember her Scottish castle, and how she and joe were constantly buying a London house for 6 years including furniture shopping right before they broke up?) And there will be constant talk of settling down and getting engaged.

9) and on and on until it ends. We could zoom through these stage over the next 2 weeks, or in seemingly endless loop of stages 6-9 for two years. No way to know until it ends or they get married, have 10 kids and teach them how to dream.

10) optional: black swan event. All bets are off.

I think it’s likely she’ll go to a couple of more games, and be seen spending as much time with him as reasonably possible before her next tour date. They need to “get to know each other” and “enjoy this fun honeymoon stage while they’re both smitten” while she can. Keep in mind her SA tour section is only 3 weeks long, and he could even potentially go to Argentina on his off week, so that’s not really enough time for the “their busy schedules were too much” excuse. Possible but you know not as likely. Then she’s off for for a couple of months again. Imagine the fun they can have over Christmas. We’ll skip the island vacation around new years or star-studded New Year’s party this time because he’ll still be playing football, so imagine her at playoff games. She’s getting literal millions of dollars in almost free publicity from this, and no matter how many people want to say she’s getting negative attention or being over-exposed or whatever, I don’t see it that way at all. It’s going very very well. All for the price of a few hours of her time and some jet fuel. So, like I didn’t see any reason for her to end it with joe because he was serving his purpose, I see no reason for this to end. Until she has reached her unknown-to-us goal.

There is a lot I can’t see or know, so these are just my best guesses based on what we’ve seen so far and what I see on their schedule for the next few months, and of course, my belief that this relationship not real.

”You can tell us. We’re your parents. You can tell us even if it’s bad. We’ll listen. We love you. We’re adults so we need to talk like adults.”

aha ahahaha how about no? If you find out I’m an apostate I know you’re gonna raid my room and destroy my belongings; and even if what you say IS true, I still don’t trust you from the last time you said those things lmfao

My stuff isn’t out of the house so I’m not gonna fucking tell you lmao

*Steeples fingers together* The peer review process is important, its good, it means that your biases dont get past first draft stage. Having said that it did hit me with the psychic blast of "Oh shit thats actually worst, you know thats worst right?"

Ok hear me out: Gregory did NOT betray Cassie (A theory)

warning: spoilers for the game undercut

So when I was watching Dawko's video I've noticed that at the elevator scene, there were TWO Gregorys talking (obviously the real one and the mimic)

I think I should start off with an "I don't think Cassie is dead" but that's just my opinion, although the theory might still work even if she died I guess.

As for the theory, it may sound a bit weird, but all the evidence I have is the captions

See the two speech line/text (the top is real because he was talking first AND was a continuation of the lines of the Gregory that was helping Cassie)

The second/bottom one, however...

That "Gregory" was the one that betrayed Cassie cuz if you see in the clip here, the one that DOES say 'We can't be followed' is a continuation of the second speech line/text aka what I assume is the mimic

Besides, we know that the mimic could very much control tech and machinery around the pizza plex at least to a degree, so what's really stopping him from dropping Cassie. He doesn't need her anymore.

And in case she survives, she will just put the blame on Gregory. It *is* his voice that she heard after all, which would be beneficial for the mimic to have the only two that know he's free be on opposite sides.

Again, this may be just a caption error and Gregory actually betrayed Cassie. I don't think it is, but that might just be me idk.

anyone else seeing an uptick of new and distinctive (unusually plausible-looking) bot blogs in their notifications in the past couple of days?? 🤨

spoilers for manga ch104 and ch106 below the cut

everyone good? okay

let's delve into the whom is secretly related to whom theories.

I suppose we've more or less heard of the Handler aka Sylvia Sherwood is Anya's long lost bio mom (or at least related) theory,

but have you considered:

Jeeves is somehow related to Twilight, who is originally [Redacted]?

I know it was shown in manga that [Redacted] doesn't have any bio siblings in his family, but what if there is a cousin 1 or 2 times removed or a half brother or long lost twin elsewhere?

both have blue eye color (wiki says Jeeves has dark blue, but I can't find a coloured version of Jeeves, so no guarantees yet *shrug*)

both have quick reflexes and combat skills

both are really good cooks (this guy made a gourmet dish in the middle of a forest; and Twilight under-covered as a world-class chef before)

both care a lot for children and are sometimes lenient on them

both have a over-the-top serious female subordinate

even the way they look to the side, or mannerism wise is rather similar *deja vu plays in the background*

look me in the eye and tell me you haven't seen Loid/Twilight make these expressions before

I know some are really wide common ground for people in this story setting (e.g short reaction time and fighting skills from wartimes/occupational needs) and I might well be grasping at straws Endo put in for Foil comparison between the 2, but the similarities are uncanny

[dnalt-d2]

Okay so I'm hearing that Maxo's coming back to QSMP in one way or another, so I'm gonna throw out the "theory" I've been sitting on for a while.

Basically, I think we're gonna get a Robo-Maxo

Because a while back, he was talking about making a robot body for Leo in case she died, so it would make sense for his character to have done something similar for himself

And not just that, but it would also kinda pair well with the whole AyRobot thing (Or however that's spelled)

AND the fact that Sofia is an AI, which means he'd be more like his daughter, who we're definitely gonna get back soon we HAVE TO it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE JUST THROWN AWAY THAT ENTIRE PLOT-POINT

(Hell, maybe Sofia will be the one responsible for the Maxo recreation?? That'd be kinda neat)

Chapitre 195 - The Border of Worlds

The splash text reads:

That is the incident of an instant

But it feels like

One's been waiting a long time

Oh this is gorgeous. Future version of Sakura meeting and reassuring her child self? Or, alternate timeline versions of Sakura meeting?

I love the way the wings are show here - she’s flying upward, but they’re also curling around her like a snare or a trap. The younger Sakura - if that even is her real name, it seems like it isn’t - looks up at the older version of her self with an almost dreamlike glaze over her eyes, like she’s seeing the future. Maybe this is what her vision looked like - maybe an older version of Sakura showed her the future and prepared her for what was going to happen. 

And you could make your own conclusion over whether the older Sakura is drawing her forward towards a future that’s worth getting to, or comforting her as she falls into the same dark fate that got her too.  

Or I suppose the secret third option is that this is a version of the afterlife and the older Sakura is welcoming the tiny child who’s about to meet her there, but maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves!

Will tiny ‘Sakura’ survive the ruins? Will she live the next ten years with Lava Lamp? Or does something BAD happen in the ruins right now and Lava Lamp has to turn back time to fix it? Meaning he spends ten years with another version of Sakura, and everything is slightly different, and he always wished he could save THIS version of Sakura too?

At the very least we have options!
