caught the thinking about jack shephard disease again

#a mystery wrapped in an enigma baby #like on the one hand: this is the man that was able to laugh while kate was stitching him up #and tell her an extremely personal story so she wouldn't be so scared #the man who lifted sawyer back onto the bed when he fell off it #the man who almost cut off boones leg because he didn't want to let him go #the man who keeps his touch gentle no matter who he's treating #and on the other: this is the man that cheated on his wife #that wouldn't take no for an answer #that is unable to give his relationship partners the autonomy to leave #the man that decides who you are and then acts accordingly #the man that gives kate all the passes in the world and leaves none for sawyer #the man who said juliet wanted ben to die without caring about the consequences #only to regret it a single episode later #i'm having the Too Many Thots disease someone please dm me lol. #jack shephard #lost

I'm sure you've already answered this but is Machete styled after a silken windhound? He is so very shaped

His breed is fictional, but it closely resembles modern day Ibizan hound. Both Silkens and Ibizans are sighthounds though, so you're not far off.

#answered #anonymous #silkens are a new breed they were developed (probably not the right term for it) in the late 80's early 90's #while sighthounds as a whole are some of the oldest surviving dog breeds #some have been around for thousands of years and changed very little #Machete's canon setting takes place in late 16th century so Silkens (or Whippets that were used to create them) wouldn't have been there #this is getting into splitting hairs territory but in dog society different breeds aren't really treated as distinct separate categories #like 99.9 % of the population is varying levels of mixed #Machete isn't a purebred but for clarity's sake I tend to just overlook that fact

So I took that one moment, you know the one, and just made it worse for some reason. Sorry. (Also look at me doing something that's not just a rough sketch for a change). Referenced Image under the cut.

I saw people talking about that scene where Yassen shot Max as a huge betrayal of Alex and it's kinda funny to me like yeah he involved Alex in a murder but also I cannot emphasise enough that Alex decided to join a criminal organisation. People have been telling him he'll need to kill for days now, Alex has watched them kill multiple people already, I get that it sucks for him but you cannot team up with a known killer and be that shocked when actually his secret extra mission was to kill

#alex rider spoilers #alex rider #yassen gregorovich #alex x yassen #alex rider tv #like hot take i guess but actually i don't think he lied to alex when alex asked him about why he was coming #he just avoided the question and said something else that's true (and is part of his underlying reason for coming) #he already told alex he wouldn't just tell him everything like mrs jones might #it's the way yassen has been working for a decade and a half. you get told the essentials and don't ask questions #not answering alex's questions and holding back info/not sharing all the details of yassen's part of the mission is not the same as lying #i mean i guess the real issue here is that alex does not want to kill or be involved in a murder #which is not something yassen and scorpia have ethical concerns about ashdflhs #and is something they have basically told him he'll need to get over already #once again i cannot stress enough that alex is literally surrounded by known killers and teamed up with them

as a jew, seeing what all of these israeli leaders have said is sickening. as a jew, anti-palestinian rhetoric is sickening. as a jew, zionism is sickening.

how dare my people -- a people who've been massacred, ethnically cleansed, dehumanized, forcibly removed, and discriminated on religious grounds for their entire existence -- do the same to another people? how dare we turn our backs on them, when they suffer like we have?

i understand that so much of us have been fed zionist propaganda our entire lives; the same happened to me. i understand the desire for a homeland where we don't have to fear antisemitism at every turn; i want that too. but it doesn't take much thought to understand that a homeland for us, which actively oppresses and kills another people, is antithetical to what we want.

if you, as a member of an oppressed group, believe that your freedom and safety can only exist when you oppress another group, you are acting no better than the people who oppressed you. such a belief is horrible, and cynical, and wrong.

as a jew, i want jewish people to be happy and safe and connected to our heritage; as a jew, i also want other peoples to be happy and safe and connected to their heritage.

don't call the palestinians "amalek". you are turning us into amalek.

doesn't the torah tell us to have empathy for those beaten down by the world? doesn't the torah tell us to make the world a better place? doesn't the torah tell us to free people of their shackles and help them escape oppression?

i have so many israeli aunts and uncles and cousins; i fear for their safety. of course, my parents do as well. i'm worried that this fear, in addition to anything they were led to believe earlier in life, is placing my parents even deeper in the zionist camp. but it doesn't have to be this way! my relatives' safety does not rely on the continued oppression of gaza!

it is easy to be uninformed, to be swayed by propaganda, to blindly hope that israel was founded in good faith -- but we can't lie to ourselves. a world steeped in senseless hatred (which we are now promoting!) could never be a home for us. none of us are free, liberated, equal, until all of us are.

as a jew, to other jews, i implore that we stand with our palestinian siblings. i want us all to be happy and safe. i want us all to live in harmony -- in the holy land and around the world. that is what we all deserve. <3

#melonposting #i apologize for not reblogging/posting much stuff about israel/palestine until now #i kept having this fear that my mom would see and get angry at me #but what do i care? i want both jews and palestinians to be happy #oh yeah. and i keep hearing the argument that 'jews living in the holy land before israel was established weren't treated well' #i don't know if that's true or not... but does it matter? #like of course antisemitism is horrible. but that can be dealt with #forcibly taking over their land is not the answer #like if israel were never a thing and people saw that jews living in the holy land didn't have rights #they'd do something about it! #and if you think they wouldn't (which is a fair thing to think)... well then you should do something about it!!! #don't solve oppression with more oppression you idiot!!!!! #no positive change will ever come to a world which doesn't think positive change can happen #and oppression is not positive change. #and it also pains me how so much of zionist rhetoric feeds off of post-holocaust fear #and i get it. i get that in the mid 20th century we were so scared and angry after the holocaust #and that we desperately wanted a safe haven #i will never not empathize with that fear and rage because it's justified #but that is no excuse to oppress another group of people. there are other ways to be safe and happy i promise #just stop hurting each other... please... you're not helping anyone... #palestine #israel #zionism

The Fredericton Region Museum won't let anyone take a DNA sample of the Coleman frog to confirm its species, but do you have any theories on IDing it? 🤔🤔🤔

I'd guess you'd get an ID of Bos taurus, given that it's such bullshit.

#coleman frog #rheopexy #answers by Mark #this is only tangentially related to herpetology #in reality you are likely to get some plant DNA and whatever microbes are around #also they could just xray the bloody thing #wouldn't even have to take it out of the case

the worst part of this job is client interaction because i can really be out here asking y/n questions and my client will literally tell me every single thing EXCEPT the answer to my question

#i am AT MY LIMIT AGAIN MY DUDES #all i wanted to know from my client was 1) is there a problem with the tenants vacating because i am getting the vibe it's a Problem #and 2) if there is no problem when is the move-out date #this is just so i can draft this stupid settlement deed right #it's all information i need like if i could do without this i WOULD just so i wouldn't have to claw information out of my client- #-like it's killing him to tell me things that i actually have to know to be able to do the work he's engaged me to do #and he went on a whole spiel about how he's going to take opposing counsel to the law society like ????????????????? #buddy can we go one step at a time #that side track went on for almost ten mins and i was actively trying to turn the convo back!!! but we got back to the main issue!! #and i PRY that information out of him by baiting him to answer like i'm fucking cross-examining at trial #and come to this conclusion that it sounds like the tenants ARE vacating on the 29th #to attempt to get a firm answer i go 'okay so the tenants WILL vacate that's what you're telling me?? there's no problem??' #and he said 'under the tenancy act we can't force them to leave' #WHAT DOES THIS MEAN #BUDDY YOU'RE KILLING ME #what's a nice law job where i don't have to talk to people #work stories #sarah talks about herself

Is that canon!?! Was Machete just really naive/didn't really understand the implications of his relationship to Vasco? Did his mentor ever find out about them or discuss such things with him? I assume bc he didn't have parents, he kinda didn't get educated on sex or anything. Was it a big shock to realize he was "sinning"?

.

#eh I was just exaggerating it for comedy because the page was so unintentionally funny and fitting #he might've been a little bit naive but was painfully aware he was in a relationship with a man and that it was forbidden #his mentor was all about asceticism and mortification and extreme self-denial #and had drilled it into his head that practically all romantic feelings let alone sex were foolish and sinful and should be shunned #so his feelings about the whole thing were complicated but in the end Vasco was more important #not to sound corny #but there was a hole in his heart that he had desperately tried to fill with god that never seemed to care about him #and once he got some of that love he had been aching for #from another living person #he had to do what it takes to make room for that in his belief system #how could such a tender fulfilling and healing thing be wrong #answered #anonymous #his mentor did eventually find out about them and wasn't very happy about it #to put it mildly #but by that point Machete had managed to mostly inch his way out from under his heel #he was graduating and getting ordained and wouldn't be going back to Naples #if it were up to him he'd never want to see him again

So I was thinking Barbatos is a busy demon and probably has a tight schedule as a butler, plus his duties in RAD. So dating him means the two of you don't see each other often. So what if you started working at the castle as a maid? (Or as a butler, but i was thinking Maid as in gender neutral since everyone regardless of gender can wear a Maid dress) So that you could be closer to him and you'll get to work with him! 

This thought occurred to me while i was thinking how barbatos might react seeing his beloved in a Maid dress since he's a butler and all. He would probably silently stare at you, taking in every detail of you dressed up and teasing you for it.

But if you actually started working at the castle, you would probably be tasked with doing small things that won't be draining for a human such as typical stuff like Making beds, Mopping, Cleaning interior windows, Run personal errands, Dust surfaces, Ironing and so on. Bonus, you get to work with the cute little D's by your side! On the other hand, Barbatos would still be strict with you even if you're his significant other, and he would take it seriously to teach you how to behave as the perfect Maid, and if you do mistakes you might get punished. Remember, this dude is a perfectionist.

Now, this is more NSFW, but imagine with his constant staring that you decide to make a game out of it by teasing him by doing little things such as pulling your skirt just a little higher, ‘accidentally’ keep dropping things to bend over and pick it up while His eyes are all on you, observing from afar or when he's near.

Now, after a long day of teasing and making a game out of it, Barbatos pulls you inside his room for some privacy. Lingering touches, his hot breath on your skin, and before you know it, you find yourself underneath him on his bed while he's on top of you staring down at you with his green eyes glowing in the dark. He would whisper in your ear what a naupthy maid you are or how you didn’t do a good job. He would go down on you and edge you for hours to come. Only when he thinks you've had enough, with your cute moans bouncing off the walls and your begging for release, he might give in and give you the sweet release you've been begging for, with your thighs clenching around his head and your cheeks flushed.

NSFW MDNI

Oh my, anon. This is exactly my favorite thing - Barbatos losing control because you're making him crazy lol.

I certainly have thought about all of the characters in a maid dress, so I think it could be considered gender neutral. Though when it comes to actually working I think a maid dress would be somewhat impractical. Like how am I supposed to move around in something like that huh??

But I realize that is not the point lol.

Do you suppose the punishments would always be of that nature? Because I think if being a naughty maid and getting punished results in having Barb's head between your thighs you might just deliberately be terrible at your job.

I think Barbatos would play along. Ah yes, MC, you're so naughty~

Ah I can't decide exactly how I think it'd go. Because on the one hand, Barbatos cares about doing a good job, but on the other hand I think he'd be unable to resist you. Maybe in the end he has to cut back on the hours you're working because every time you're around in that dress, he loses focus.

I've thought a lot about what it'd be like to date someone so dedicated to a job that is essentially their entire life. Being a butler isn't just a 9-5, he's working continually. I like to headcanon that a lot of the things he does can be delegated to the little Ds or other such castle staff. He just prefers to do things himself because he knows he'll do the best job. But if he realizes that he has to choose between having everything in the castle perfect and spending time with you, I think he'd let the others do a little more. I also think Diavolo is a good wing man and would demand he take more time off to be with you lol.

If the Commander has a relationship with Syfyn in the past, how did Esmerelda feel about it at the time given her previous crush? Does current day Esme ever feel wistful about what could have beens, or does she think they'd have been ultimately incompatible?

Esmerelda liked Syfyn when she was young-- probably around the ages 12 - 15. It was very much a schoolgirl crush. Syfyn was funny, had a promising future ahead of her, did good in school, and was (and is) good looking and strong. Plus, Syfyn + Esmerelda knew each other in their youth (even before MC knew her). However, they were never close. Everything Esmerelda knew about Syfyn she knew by overhearing or because MC told her. It was very much a "have a raging crush from a distance because when you actually have to talk to them you get too flustered to talk" situation, so Esmerelda wouldn't ever speak to Syfyn during that time because she just... couldn't.

But once Esmerelda got into her mid teens and was forced to really start learning how to be a Queen a lot of things changed-- one of those things being her crush on Syfyn. Her and Syfyn never talked, and even if they did, they'd find they really didn't have much in common. Syfyn grew up in the military, learning how to embrace pain and discomfort while being taught her life was meaningless if not used to protect the crown. Esmerelda was the exact opposite-- she grew up lavishly and was given whatever she wanted, and she has been burdened with the knowledge her life means everything to everyone.

So, by the time MC + Syfyn got together (which would be when all of them were in their twenties) Esmerelda didn't have any feelings for Syfyn at all. The most she'd think of it is that it's sort of funny both her and her sibling liked her, but otherwise that's about it! Chances are MC knew Esme had a crush on Syfyn too (even if they weren't close) just because Esme was not subtle about it despite her best attempts to be, but Syfyn probably didn't know because that woman is not the most observant when it comes to emotions, so that might've been a funny inside joke between MC + Esme.

So, bottomline, Esme doesn't really think anything about it at all! Nowadays, she's far too busy dealing with politics and Mother to worry about romance-- and even when that is something she'll inevitably have to do in the nearby future, it'll be with some other noble of somewhat equal standing to her (likely one of the children of those in the Council) that stands to benefit the power of the Crown. Not someone she loves.

#answered #esmerelda #in truth mother would *let* her marry whoever she wanted #but Esme takes that part of her duty pretty seriously given some recent political happenings... #Esme herself wouldn't want to just marry someone she loves if it meant passing up the opportunity to secure her family's safety

am i the only one who sensed some jilted lover vibes from jensen? 

#burcon #cockles #thoughts #at the start of the panel and through a few particular interactions he seemed very standoffish #he was giving a little bitter and hurt and perhaps even resentful - maybe he only learned of misha's gf #at this con too! maybe it was news to him. on top of not seeing misha for months i can understand #if he was feeling a bit neglected and out of the loop. there's also the matter of misha's gf not being #in a poly thing with jensen and dee like vicki was ie. what she has with misha is seperate so i'm sure #that's another difficult thing to deal with knowing their time together is strictly separate #i've no doubt he wants misha to have a partner and be happy but there's an adjustment period #letting new people into your life and whoever misha's partner is now or in the future is going to #affect jensen on a personal level and moreover his relationship with misha. it's all very intriguing #and while i like what little i've seen and heard about this woman for misha i just think no matter who #she is it's going to take a toll on jensen's relationship w misha. i thought it was plain to see on jensen's face #during their panel: numerous moments where he was giving a poker face that wasn't covering a laugh #but instead like he was trying to smooth out his bitterness. or so my eyes and brain and heart tell me. #just various moments where things looked uncomfortable and jensen making off-colour jokes that didn't land #and which furthermore were barbed and snarky - not in their usual banter way but like he was lashing out #and using the excuse of chaotic panel convo to explain away his comedic pitfalls. but again maybe i'm #looking to much into it? idk. there are some lovely moments! fun and caring moments - but they #mainly came from misha's direction ngl. it seemed like misha was trying hard to keep the peace #while jensen was just running his mouth on comments and jokes that kept not landing - for me #everyone on my dash is loving their dynamic this panel - and i want to feel that love! it is possible that #learning misha has a gf has skewed my perception a little like i'm putting context onto moments #i otherwise wouldn't. but i also think i would've laughed and generally felt better watching their panel #if that was the case. idk. whatever the reason i do think something was OFF between them on stage #and it was coming from jensen from the start. misha picked up on it partway though but things felt #a little strained throughout. like jensen wasn't looking at misha as much as usual or reaching out for him #misha tried to salvage and not react to things. but both their answers to the last Q were passive aggressive af #and when they left the stage together they weren't close or touching or chatting like they usually are...

finding cool parallels in ninjago is always like. nice! now on a scale of 1-10 i wonder how completely unintentional this was on the part of the writers

#thinkin about morro and how he died in a fiery explosion deep in a cave #i know someone here has already pointed out that lloyd almost died the same way and only didn't because kai was there to save him #while morro had no one but i'm also just thinking #kai nearly died in that volcano too. the only reason he didn't was because he finally realized he couldn't be the green ninja #he was willing to give up and so he got to live #and then there's morro who wouldn't take no for an answer and refused to give up... kept going deeper into the caves until he died for it #AARGH. it haunts me #ninjago

it is a little funny to me that zach valenti is a vegetarian and seems generally health conscious, considering that doug eiffel is... not that. the opposite of that, even. eiffel would say french fries should count as a vegetable. eiffel thinks ham & pineapple pizza covers all necessary food groups. eiffel has a meat & carbs & grease based diet, sustained by a quick metabolism and an iron stomach. and he is like aggressively american; eiffel is the guy they make novelty fast food items for. there is nothing in this world he wants more than a burger that is also a pizza. doritos® locos tacos and baja blast. that radioactive looking flamin' hot cheetos mac and cheese? he would eat that. no question. that guy loves koolaid flavors that don't even resemble artificial fruit.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #a little while ago horus captain-lovelace said like. 'guy whose favorite flavors are colors' and that made me laugh so much #literally. men will eat nothing but taco bell and bang energy and still ask for a . well you know #eiffel looks like zach to me with a few key differences and one of those differences is that he does NOT take care of himself #triple white chocolate mocha with whipped cream ... disgusting sweet tooth on that man. he loves the slop #anyway i love that in character AMA zach did but some of the answers are so funny because it's like. don't lie to me #that was a zach valenti answer. doug eiffel has never even eaten an artichoke in his LIFE i wouldn't count on him to identify one #eiffel knows good bbq though and has a surprising tolerance for spice i believe this is true. he is not eating vegetables.
