#almost 80s hair

[visenyaism]

i firmly believe that aemond doesn't use ye olde hair straightener. he had the maesters develop keratin hair treatments and uses aegon's bastards to grow his own human hair extensions. he's violating westerosi "child labor laws" for virgin 10A remy bundles

#asoiaf #hotd #this is so funny I almost blacked out. good morning #i KNOW he has an 80 step hair care routine vs daemon not knowing what conditioner us

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 16: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should offer to help the travelers with their broken wagon.....

~

After much internal deliberation (and some zoning out staring at butterflies), The Adventurer decides it would be best to offer his assistance. Technically, he IS still following his goal of not getting distracted, because theoretically it would make his journey much faster if he were able to catch a ride on a carriage. So really, this is all an ultimate big brain genius strategy for maximizing efficient travel.. Or, at least that sounds like a good enough justification to him.

Gathering up all of his social courage, he approaches one of the travelers fiddling with a broken wheel near the far end of the carriage and meekly asks if there's anything he could do to help.

The man was so focused on his task, he seems initially startled to look up and find someone near him. "OH..! Oh, uhh.. help? With the wagon?", he smiles pleasantly, gesturing towards a few wooden boards that are just out of his reach, "Sure, kid. If you could just hand me th-"

"Apologies, but we actually won't be needing your assistance, stranger." A taller man, surprisingly almost matching the stature of the Adventurer, suddenly slinks out from somewhere behind the carriage, sternly placing himself like a barrier in front of the man working on the wheel. Wheel Guy nervously averts his eyes, making himself smaller, silently resuming his work.

The Adventurer tries his best to maintain composure against the weight of the tall man's bitter gaze, but can't seem to muster much of a response "Aeughh,,, uh… b-but, h- Bu--HHHh,,?.."

"Look, disregard whatever my father told you, he's old, never has any clue what he's talking about. It'd be best for you to simply move along." ('Father'? They don't look alike at all, and seem to be nearly the same age..)

"W-well.. he.. he didn't really tell me anything, I me-hhH,,.. I mean, I literally just got here, s-so...."

"Good. Even more reason to be on your way."

Placing a gloved hand firmly on his shoulder, the tall man begins to motion the Adventurer away from the wagon, but a strange noise interrupts, echoing from inside. Perhaps some sort of animal sound? Or a person faintly yelling about something? Or… both?

"WH-wHggg… whAT was t-that???!!" The Adventurer immediately stops in place, pausing to listen as the tall man keeps trying to push him ahead.

"I didn't hear anything, stranger."

"No, t-there.. was dEFinitely, UHH, a-"

"Likely something in the forest."

"Wh--aah... d.. do you think it was an animal?"

The tall man continues a dramatic struggle to 'subtly' drag him further down the road, whilst the Adventurer mindlessly digs in his heels, too distracted to even notice he's being so strongly prompted to leave.

"Many animals do, indeed, exist within forests. This should not be suprising."

"...It's just.. ..eughh… s… so weird…"

"I assure you, it is not."

"I-it really sounded like.. like it came f-from insid-"

"Yes, from inside the forest. Now, please, if you would.."

The noise interrupts again. It's definitely someone, or something, in some sort of distress.. And definitely from inside of the cart.

"wHoAAGH, aa!!! T-tHat's NOT from the f-forest, that-"

The tall man fully just shoves him now, sending the Adventurer toppling across the dirt, clumsily rolling and landing just past the other side of the carriage. A mother and young child who seem to be part of the traveling group simply stare down at him with empty blank gazes, wholly unconcerned about helping him up.

As the Adventurer fumbles back to his feet (still confused as to why he was even pushed in the first place), the tall man looms by the carriage, diligently watching to ensure that he leaves.

"Travel safe, stranger."

Despite his initial obliviousness, the Adventurer begins to piece the situation together as he stares back at the man, now fully convinced something suspicious might be going on...

…What should he do next??

Arvid's boyfriend won't kiss him because of a patch 4 bug

Iona's boyfriend is kissing her forehead and Halsin refuses to follow her

what a great opportunity to, in the meantime, give Shadowheart an aneurysm

(i bet you this guy smells infuriatingly good for someone who lives in the woods. like fucking... cedarwood, leather, and musk, but like naturally. and within days she'll want to punch him in the mouth. either with a fist, but in like an affectionate way, or her own mouth, but in an angry way.)

#he's so.... almost blandly pretty that he's gross and I hate him but i love him #he looks like “generic fantasy story's party rogue” which is what I was going for but.... #it kind of backfired #cause i'm kind of into him #he's standoffish; has CHEST HAIR; and always stands with his hip kinda cocked to the side #like what was I SUPPOSED to do #squirrel plays bg3 #oc: petyr wildbrook #another bisexual disaster unleashed #lbr if he was played by a moderately attractive young british actor in some show this is exactly the kinda guy 80% of us would salivate ove

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

not sure if im alone on this but the taglines in animorphs always kinda pissed me off?? like how is "make a change for the better" representative of The Reunion? could they /really/ not think of any sort of vaguely-robot-related tagline for The Android? Yes, the actual titles range from completely random (I believe The Warning falls in that category iirc?) to "only makes sense in retrospect" (The Forgotten), but the taglines are straight-up just random sayings about change 50% of the time

Oh yeah, I am with you as part of the large, large contingent of Animorphs fans who find the covers super frustrating:

Like you said, the punny taglines tend to have little to do with the book itself, and are often jarringly wrong in tone (#3 is "Now you see them, now you don't"; #14 is "Never underestimate the power of a morph.")

The summaries are often spoiler-ific (#19) or focused completely differently from the book itself (#23).

Nobody likes the phrase "the other Animorphs and Ax." David (David!) also gets described as "the sixth Animorph" when Ax has already been there for 15 friggin' books.

Jake and Rachel's cover models are fine, but the other four don't match the books' descriptions of the characters that well.

Visser stars Visser One but has Visser Three on the cover. There are several other instances of especially the inside covers not matching the scenes in the books where those morphs appear.

However, those problems can probably be blamed ~95% on the speed at which the books were being published. I've speculated that those summaries may have even been put together by people who had never read the book in question. Not due to laziness, but just because the book itself didn't exist at the time when they had to hastily throw a cover together.

So imagine you're some Scholastic intern who's gotta put that cover together, and you don't know anything about a book except maybe a one-sentence summary. ("A girl named Cassie and her team the Animorphs — four fellow humans named Tobias, Rachel, Jake, and Marco; along with a blue alien named Ax — transform into horses to infiltrate a military base to prevent alien invaders from putting evil slugs into the brains of the leaders.") Honestly, given those constraints, it's nearly miraculous that the covers turned out as good as they did. And it is understandable that the word "Animorph" got mistranslated as "human who morphs" rather than "member of this team of kids who fight yeerks." Hence "the other Animorphs and Ax" and "David, the sixth Animorph."

It is still frustrating that the covers are so misaligned with the books, because we do know that people judge those books by their covers and that that's been a major barrier in the attempted revival of the series. (To say nothing of all the semi-racist memes.) But the characters' names are spelled right, the body horror of the series is accurately advertised, Cassie and Marco have cover models of the right ethnicities, and details like andalites having 6+ fingers per hand miraculously come through. I'll take what I can get.

#animorphs #animorphs meta #animorphs merch #marketing #scholastic #anyone else ever notice #that when non-fans (e.g. SNL & TGWTG) mock the series #they always use *Rachel's* book covers? #almost like they're deliberately choosing the 1/6th of the series with the highly feminine protagonist on the cover? #because see it's funny if they're girly books written for girls with girl plots and girly conceits #that's an extra layer of funny to the joke #so it's always 22 or 7 in the memes #it's always 17 or 32 taken out of context #never mind that 67% of the protagonists and ~80% of the supporting cast are male #if it's written by a woman about girls for girls then it's fun to hate #if there's a boy on the cover or someone with short hair like Cassie then it's just not as funny now is it?

I didn’t even choose my name people just started addressing me as Punk on here because of my URL and I was like well I guess that’s my name now. Anyway remember when I said we like weren’t really a system anymore and not feeling as plural blah blah blah well anyway we have a new personality.

#her name is ember #she’s the confident slightly reckless one #her favorite movie is lost boys and she likes 80s rock and other heavy metal music etc. #she has red hair and is almost like a femme version of Punk (me?)

nothing more beautiful or powerful to see onscreen than when the writers’ vision of a character doesn’t quite match the actor’s interpretation but the contrast doesn’t create contradiction but instant layers and humanity.

#this is about a) Ben Solo b) Steve Harrington #you can tell the writers wrote Steve as a much flatter character—a one note bully. The guy who sleeps with Nancy #The school jock with the 80’s hair #And you can tell Joe Keery was like ‘what if he really liked her what if he was really trying’ #but it’s his eyes vs the writers’ words and that creates such an instant complexity #because human beings DO work like that. they say the thing (most of the time) that context demands #and sometimes there isn’t anything else going on but sometimes there is #Steve is a very thinly drawn character tbh in terms of writing #he has no backstory he doesn’t have a context. He began the story very lazily written but then those pieces start to make sense #In the light of how Keery plays it #Yeah where ARE his parents. Why does he actually have such few friends. Why is that the ‘bully’ keeps getting beat up #and that sets him up for the journey that he goes on. A kid who wants better than the role he’s in in high school and in life #he really is like ‘no I want better I want better than this’ #and his privilege is so precarious you know he will fall and he does and his mistakes are so clear they will cost him almost everything #and that is so compelling #Anyway ben solo is pretty much all Adam. You know JJ and co. Were just like #‘What if …. We had a villain …… whose name was KYLO REN’ #nerd high fives #They did nothing #Adam’s eyes stature face voice MOVEMENT??? Everything #He literally took it away from them and made his own story #the limitations of the writers only adding to the truth of it all

the more i compare eddie to my dad i realize Freud was right

#my dad was a drug dealer #he drove a ford broncho and a motor cycle #he had very long hair in the 80s #my mom was a cheer leader and he was working at a factory when they met... #like bruh #almost forgot her was a virgin till he was 27.... loser

Okay usually when I’m thinking about cutting my hair it’s the only thing I can think about, I obsess over the idea, I also spent the whole time second guessing on if I should or not which then either leads me to get it cut immediately before I can back out or I do end up chickening out

But right now I’m just like “why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

#raineyrambles #like for once I’m not stressing I’ve if I’ll like it or not #which I do like how long my hair is now and I think it’s cool how long it’s gotten #but I genuinely do not ever do anything with it so to me it’s almost pointless to have it this long #if that makes any sense? #and I’ve cut it before to the length I was thinking just last year so I know I won’t hate it #but usually I convince myself I’ll suddenly hate lol #and usually when I think about cutting it’s almost summer so I worry about it frizzing up #but now yes it is summer but in my mind it’s further enough in where it’s almost not summer #which is completely wrong considering it’s 80+ until like December here lol #off topic but I just realized how I used to make really long posts and now I just add everything to the tags #my hair

@skylineofspace​ FUCKING LOVE THIS. What an expansive, out of the box thought, I didn’t even GO there. That would also make sense with the weird feeling I’ve been having about Ange being a French name* and her being English not like, English people can’t Read Books and Name Their Children Something Other Than Aloysius but it’s so striking against names like Charlotte, Beatrice, Dorothy, which are all chosen to FEEL very English in a way Ange does not.  Anyway yeah I love that idea.

@verbforverb​ We know Scotland (Highlands) is its own thing here, and I don’t know if like...Sheeplandia is going to show up here for Wales or anything, but for Cornwall, it sounds like it belongs to the COmmonwealth, or else he wouldn’t need to defect there? Because he’s already living in “The West” which I assume is the standin for America/Canada, so if Cornwall were its own thing, he should be able to just go there? I would think? Unless Cornwall is allied with the Commonwealth in such a way that travel there is banned for a citizen of the Kingdom?

I DON’T KNOW I JUST THINK THINKING ABOUT IT IS NEAT

*Which literally means Angel, I should have mentioned this in my talking about Charlotte and all that shit. Angels can only tell the truth, etc, Ange is built on lies, narrative theme, etc.

#Doc watches Princess Principal #PP episode 2 #Also I didn't know Cornwall was a celtic nation TIL #IN the montana mutt mix #its always Irish English German Scandanavian #The English if known is almost ALWAYS Cornish because of thehuge mining history #I don't know what corner of England I have somewhere...I don't even know that I do except that my dad's whole side of the family #Is Classic Montana Mutt and has been here for like...four or five egenrations #So I ABSOLUTELY have English somewhere in the mix #Montana Mutt is enough for me though everyone knows what I mean ahahah #'are you Irish?' #'I'm a montana mutt so I have rish heritage somewhere certainly but that's not where the red hair comes from ahaha' #I think the only actualy anything I know on my dad's side is my great grandmother was a Swedish immigrant #or great great grandmother actually #anyway I'm an American and this has gone off the rails but yeah 80% of the English Heritage here is Cornish English specifically #Its why pasties are a huge huge thing in Montana

#( 🧩 ✧ INFERIOR PUPPETEER ✧ | OOC ) #// BEFORE the reboot of nu52... #// eddie was almost ALWAYS either has black hair - or was a brunette #// brunette eddie was more common in the 2000s #// whilst black haired eddie was more common in his spandex era of 40s-80s #// redhair eddie didn't rly become commonplace until nu52 happened #// this is why my own eddie is always a brunette #// ... despite my icon coloring telling you otherwise #// my eddie IS NOT a redhead

Nagito Komaeda for the character bingo 👀

Nagito appeared in 5.5 out of 6 episodes and yet that wasn't enough screen time
