#yes i do feel robbed

[sofiaruelle]

So....our Dressmaking Batch 97 got to participate in a pagent, Mr & Ms Technowear 2024 for TIIC (Technical Institute of Iloilo City)'s 30th Foundation day.

✨And we got to do 2 lewks, Streetwear and Technowear.✨

While trying to figure out what we were going to do, we raided the fitting room (stockroom) and found a whole bunch of Retazo (hiliganon for scrapped fabric) from previous projects of batches before us. And it just so happens we were asigned the color 💚Green💚 for our team. Green = Nature = lots of fabric flowers. And to make it easier for us, we raided our closets and a few thrift stores for garments to upcycle and ofc every crafter has a few knickknacks to embellish with!!!!

Genuine question. Do you like or dislike Rob? Your posts tend to imply both feelings hahaha

Do I like Rob?

[robiinurheart33]

Do y’all understand the connection between ghostsoap and “velvet ring” by Big Thief and “anything” by Adrianne Lenker like I do or am I gonna have to write a whole fic about it again

[ctrl-lupin]

Yes, I would be very interested hearing your head canon (@tim-ribbert-56) (in response to this post)

I have decided for my personal entertainment that Clarisse de Cagliostro is related to Lupin III, and here's why.

-pulls out Arsène Lupin's Wikipedia page-

In the novel La Comtesse de Cagliostro, a young Arsène Lupin (at the time going by the name Raoul d'Andrésy) was courting Clarisse d'Etigues, a young lady of a well-to-do family, and trying to win her hand, despite her father's disapproval.

Throughout the course of the novel, Lupin meets and falls in love with Joséphine Balsamo, aka the Countess of Cagliostro, and abandons Clarisse in favour of her. To clarify, Joséphine is not actually countess of anything, she is (or claims to be) a descendant of Giuseppe Balsamo aka the Count of Cagliostro (who was also count of jack shit), a famous conman from the 18th century.

Shenanigans ensue, which I will not go into in details on, but oh my god I am insane about Raoul and Joséphine, I want to dissect them and study them under a microscope. It turns out Joséphine aka Cagliostro is evil as fuck, Raoul/Lupin realizes that and goes back to Clarisse (whom he had previously abandoned like an old sock, I fucking hate this guy), marries her, and a few years later has her kid.

Unfortunately Clarisse dies in childbirth, and Joséphine, who was still around and very very pissed at Lupin (and jealous as hell of Clarisse whom, may I mention, had never personally antagonized her in any way whatsoever, Joséphine is just fucking bonkers). Joséphine also kidnaps Lupin and Clarisse's son, Jean, and raises him as her own son. (I have not yet read the following novel The revenge of Cagliostro so I don't really know what Jean's deal is, I just know he's an antagonist).

The following is my headcanon, based on these events. In the universe of Lupin III, Joséphine Balsamo was actually countess of the small kingdom of Cagliostro (maybe Giuseppe was count, maybe he conned his way into becoming count, maybe he bought the land and built a fake kingdom with a fake history, who knows).

After the events of The revenge of Cagliostro, Jean settles down in the country of Cagliostro, gets married, has a child, and that child will later have a daughter of their own, who they name Clarisse, after their late grandmother. Clarisse de Cagliostro, of Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro fame, would thus be the great-grand-daughter of Arsène Lupin, making her Lupin III's cousin/niece/whatever you call this specific degree of separation.

I am choosing to make Clarisse de Cagliostro a great-granddaughter of Arsène Lupin, rather than a granddaughter, because Arsène Lupin was very young when the events I described unfolded: he is 20 years old when he meets Clarisse d'Etigues and the whole Cagliostro debacle happens, and 25 by the time Jean is born. I'm assuming he had Lupin II much later in his life. So Jean and Lupin II (half-brothers) would have a significant difference in age, and so Jean's hypothetical child (grandchild of Arsène Lupin, so of the same generation of Lupin III) would be much older than Lupin III. Clarisse de Cagliostro is younger than him, maybe around the same age if you stretch it, so she's have to be a great-grandchild.

Now I need to read The revenge of Cagliostro and study Arsène Lupin's wikipedia page in more detail to determine when exactly Lupin II was born and who his mother was. And also where Albert's family branched out, because the fact that he's called D'Andrésy should theoretically place him as a descendant of Arsène Lupin's mother but not of Arsène Lupin himself; but Jean was also going by that last name, so who fucking knows.

No I am not insane I promise, I am just a gigantic nerd.

also ms angelini REALLY was a coward for not making matt & zach full p.atrocilles reincarnations & tragic gays just saying hsdjkfjdssd

tim and disney+ were cowards for not giving us portbowell

[jockbots]

Numa joining the resistance like mulan in the disney movie has me going feral

here me out

Ryloth has its devistating switch from republic protection to empire occupation

Nabat is remote, not remote enough to be out of its grip, but enough for Boil to defect there

Boil regains enough of himself to remember his promise to come back

it was supposed to be with waxer but he was also supposed to trust the jedi

He returns to Ryloth and for a brief happy time he lives with Numa and her family

then the empire starts to tighten its grip in Ryloth

its been 10 years and the empire are getting more demanding

Syndulla makes a request to all able bodied fighters to join the free ryloth movement

Boil tells his new family he has to go

Numa has other ideas

To her he has fought his war, hes given enough, hes 28 and he is an old man and he will not come back from this fight

they argue and Boil, who is always as gentle as Waxer had always been, who never gets angry at her only at the gravel that scrapped her knee or the pesky tookas that lay in his flower beds, tell her deadly serious

that it is his duty to go as a clone created for war and he will go bc it is what he was made for

Numa will say something fueled by sadness abt his survivers guilt at they will both part hurt and misty eyed

thats when she'll decide hes not going

when everyone is asleep she'll go into his room and take the datapad with the encrypted request

leave her tooka for him if she doesn't come back

find the armour stored away neatly but dusty

take the blacks, that the utility belt, take an arm of armour from pauldron to gauntlet. the one with his name so that he will be there with her without being in harms way

and catch the next cart to the capital before the night is up

I’m thinking about Natlan and I just need one thing off my chest

If the theories are right and the Pyro Archon is currently dead and will be resurrection like the title of the chapter suggests, I want her to be a strong and respected woman.

Like, I know we’re already getting Murata and she’s gonna be a Murata Himeko expy (which I kinda don’t like but sure whatever Hoyo) from Honkai Impact 3rd, but idk I just feel like we need a single female archon that doesn’t have a bad relationship with her people AND is powerful.

Right now I think it’s safe to say that the power scaling of the archons is Zhongli, Ei, Venti, Nahida, and then Furina (I know she’s not an archon anymore I’m just including her bc I like her and I’m bias). Also, as an aside, this got to long so I’m putting it down here. I ranked Venti over Nahida not because her powers are weaker than Venti’s but because Venti has more experience. He can fight and knows the full extent of her powers and survived the Archon War; while Nahida would outsmart him no problem, Venti would overpower her physically I just wanted to clarify

Zhongli and Venti are from the OG Seven and have positive relationships with their respective countries. They’re both powerful and well respected.

Ei is hella powerful, but she did steal everyone’s visions so I don’t think she’s respected exactly. She’s more feared in my eyes. Like, absolutely, they respect her because she’s their archon and is powerful and is trying to change, but the people of Inazuma are very aware that Ei is capable of hurting her people if it means achieving her goal. OBVIOUSLY Ei herself doesn’t want to hurt her people and that was the puppet being tricked by the Fatui that did all that, but the people themselves don’t necessarily know that, so they just think Ei had a change of heart.

Nahida’s whole storyline in the Sumeru Archon Quests was reinstating her as the highest and most respected authority. Everyone loves her and for good reason! She’s great, and she’s doing her job as an archon really well. However, she is possibly one of the weakest archons due to age and experience. I can see her being a MIGHTY archon when she’s older, but how long is that gonna take? We’ll probably never see Nahida at her peak.

Then there’s Furina. Her storyline was AMAZING, I think we can all agree the Fontaine Archon Quests were great. However, Furina was seen as a joke or mascot by her people rather than an actual mighty archon. They just followed her because her voice was loud and she played the role well. Furina was never strong or respected, not until AFTER she lost her divinity for good.

Ei is strong but not respected, Nahida is respected but not strong, and Furina is not strong nor respected.

And this isn’t me trying to say Zhongli and Venti are bad or anything. There’s absolutely a discussion for misogyny in Genshin, but I’m not really opening that can of worms right now.

I’m just looking at the dynamics we have for the Archons and am hoping that we get a strong and respected female archon at some point.

It could be the Tsaritsa for all we know! The Tsaritsa is incredibly badass and there’s some indications that the intentions behind the Fatui aren’t that bad but their actions are, so it could be that the Tsaritsa is our strong AND respected Archon.

Yet, Childe’s line about her makes me think that people have their doubts, so is she really that respected as we think?

That just leaves Murata, and I am hoping that if the resurrection thing is about her, then I hope Murata is very strong and highly respected.

But if the resurrection is about someone else, say,the Pyro Sovereign, then I am BEGGING Hoyo to make the Pyro Sovereign a woman. We lost a female archon to a male sovereign I don’t want it to happen again.

not posting the full drawing, but thank you fuchina-san for this beautiful drawing. i will now proceed to imagine the whole scenario around it

Being condescending to poor & disabled people who have less than you is definitely a good way to get donations, I'm sure that's really working out for the people you are trying to help. What's the exchange rate exactly for superiority points

[saederkrupps]

i know its never too late and your life doesn't end in your early 20s but i'm still really mournful and sad that i spent my entire early adult years being homeless

[rosesradio]

does anyone want to make like a petition or something for thomas to donate at least part of the ad revenue on his sorting video to a trans charity? or at least put some kind of disclaimer in the video or in the description stating that he doesn’t support jkr, and maybe link some resources and/or charities to encourage donations? idk, it just sits weirdly with me that, upon checking the video a minute ago, there’s no alterations to how it was originally posted to address the bigotry of that franchise.

(especially considering he bought a bunch of merch for the video, which he makes a joke about, potentially encouraging his viewers to sort & buy merch for their houses as well)

Hello I would love to read your rants

Hello, thank you so much for this.

(Apologies if some of these sentences make zero sense, English isn't my first language lol)

Aight so, often, I see people say "couldn't Rob just tell them instead of pretending to be superintendent evil and doing all of that?", however, I do think there's actually 2 main reasons as to why he did that;

1- not really my main reason, but, who would have believed him? Especially when someone says he should have told Gumball and Darwin.

I mean, imagine if your arch-enemy shows up at your doorstep, claiming that you, everything and everyone around you aren't real, but only part of a cartoon, that this cartoon is going to end and if you don't want to end up in this static dimension filled with mistakes for the rest of your life you have to trasform yourself into live action humans.

Not even Mr Small would've believed that..okay, maybe Mr Small, but even he seems like a reach

2- Rob got put into the void because he didn't have a role or his role was considered boring(I assume).

Rob got told to play the villain.

If Rob doesn't play that role he'll get sent back to the void again.

Now, I wonder why Rob pretended to be this evil guy instead of telling them he wanted to save them.

I don't think Rob pretended to be a superintendent and made Teri erase her face and stuff like that just for fun.

I think this was just his way of trying to trick the system(or the void, I guess) into making it seem like he's just doing his villainy thing.

I think that's why he was the first one to end up in the void; when he gets caught, he literally says it was to save their lives and that's...that's not very supervillain-y of him.

Given the fact that it seems the void is aware (despite being a location)and always listening, I guess it probably caught on what Rob was actually trying to do.

I don't think that was a good way of saving them but, at least for Rob, it was the only way.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
