IMPORTANT QUESTION

My friends and I have started calling you the irl version of Lilia and we wished to know if you can cook because we are worried for the home if you cannot

(This is a light hearted joke)

I can (more or less) follow a recipe, which gives me the advantage! >:D ...although it is true then when left to my own devices I default to "dump in a bunch of random spices and see what happens". I...I just really like cayenne and turmeric okay --

other than that (and all the other many things that are different about us) Lilia and I are, y'know, basically identical.

#art #for a given definition of art anyway #twisted wonderland #it's canon that silver didn't know food could taste good until he came to nrc #if i remember right in his bloom birthday card lilia went on a long explanation about how he's been trying to cook healthy meals lately #(read: burned and yet somehow semi-raw vegetable mess that is basically already a compost heap) #and then at the end is like 'ha ha i don't eat the swill i make! that would be bad!' #'i just make everybody else eat it while i eat whatever' #sounds about right #i did once somehow manage to bake a cake for about 2 hours longer than it was supposed to bake for #and it was still underdone #it was a box mix so god only knows what happened there

It’s Harry’s dream house. A brick cottage, covered in ivy and crawling vines, sits at the end of the driveway. It’s dusted in snow, trees reaching over the garden beds, and chickens are clucking and pecking at the ground. Draco takes a sharp inhale, and pulls Harry through the wards, and Harry knows that feeling - it’s the way Grimmauld greets him. The magic tangling around him, welcoming him home.

Rewatching The Mandalorian S3 and oh my god, Axe and Paz have so many fantastic little moments??

1. The eye contact when the Mandalorian fleet first touches down on Nevarro

2. The way Paz instantly volunteers to scout Mandalore’s surface after Axe does

3. Their exchange on the drop-ship

4. The little nod during the perimeter sweep

5. The fight

6. How they get Grogu out of danger together

7. Axe monologuing about the Great Forge and Paz asking follow-up questions

8. The way Paz not only believes that Axe is their best chance at getting word to the fleet but also notices the gap in the ceiling and lays down cover for him

9. Axe standing next to Ragnar when Bo-Katan re-lights the Great Forge

Proof:

#they’re in love #and Axe adopted Ragnar #Paz is terrible at flirting #I have so many ideas for the slow burn paz/axe fic I’m writing #with a heaping dose of Ragnar bc I love him #heavily inspired by The Buir Basics #if you haven’t read The Buir Basics or Ramik’ade PLEASE DO #they’re both so good #paz vizsla #axe woves #ragnar vizsla #paz vizsla x axe woves #pazaxe #paxe

if you haven't read the Septimus Heap books by Angie Sage, i definitely recommend you go read them. there's no way she hasn't had the desire to go live in the woods

#op #septimus heap #i'm reading them for the first time in years #and there are SO MANY characters who just decided to wander off and live in the wild #aunt Zelda is GOALS #i'm only on book two of my reread and i am SO excited to get to Physik #that was always my favorite one #i'm pretty sure that was where one character i really like was introduced #i can't remember her name but she was cool and she had a pet cat who could turn into a panther

Happy Sep Heap Sunday, have some boys ft. Edd & Erik "Bear Hug" Heap. Images have ID!

#septimus heap #simon heap #erik heap #edd heap #theres too many of u get fucked #does simon interact with edd or erik directly at some point in the books? doesn't matter #i didnt ever read starchaser btw #chinolart

The Song of Achilles is one of the most garbage books I've ever read and I kind of want to talk about it but I'd have to reread The Song of Achilles to do that in a cohesive manner, which is garbage

#I went through a phase of reading the like... Feminist-ish adaptations of Greek mythology genre . Which as a whole is absolute dogshit #Like almost everything I read was outright BAD. #Silence of the Girls is the only one I read that I would describe as 'good'. Which I have issues with but still think is overall solid #Which if you are looking for a good novel with Achilles story is the only thing I could possibly recommend #(It really isn't about that (It's the Iliad from Briseis' perspective) but happens to have the only depiction of Achilles and Patroclus tha #I did not absolutely loathe) (And also it kind of feels like the author couldn't decide what kind of Iliad retelling they wanted to do #because it starts switching to Achilles POV randomly around the middle) (Which is one of the problems with the book but after #the absolute garbage heap that was Song of Achilles I appreciated it anyway)

i have read magyk so many times since it came out when i was a child and yall i literally never clocked the muriel as a foreshadowing of the dragon - green boat red sails - like literally a foreshadowing of the dragon boat and like is the splitting of muriel a foreshadowing of spitfyre??? idk maybe anyway i love these books so much

#someone else is working through them at the library apparently #so i am on hold for flyte #like could i pull it off my shelf and read it yeah but like #i want to enjoy the audio and the pacing #septimus heap

Obligatory Marcia Doodle (i have not drawn this lady in two years)

#septimus heap #marcia overstrand #if you're wondering what happened to the hand: i fucked it up #also fucked up my white pen trying to fix it so rip me and my pen #i also fucked up the dress but that is obvious #anyways i love marcia #she's been one of my favourite characters since the first time i read sep heap #anyways i suck at anatomy and proportions #art #my art

luther: the golden child

diego: the mastermind

allison: the peace keeper

klaus: the clown / mascot

five: the rebel / truth teller

ben: the lost child

viktor: the scapegoat

is this something i think this is something

#the umbrella academy #rani makes text posts no one will read #hargreeves siblings #ben being the lost child is kind of forced bc he’s dead but i find it interesting even then #bc ben was unique in the family for already hating being a superhero and his powers due to the horror of them. and however it is he died #it had to be horrific bc viktor doesn’t write about it in his book bc five doesn’t know what happened. and before he died ben’s unique self #awareness seems to have meant they all loved him in a normal way only for his death to poison those bonds completely #so through no decision of his own this very sullen and cranky child has to become a self sacrificing wallflower bc the only way he gets to #even exist is if he takes care of klaus and tries to sober him up. his big moment is sacrificing himself for his siblings! they can’t ever #escape the abuse that reginald heaped onto them!! even in death they’re playing roles reginald forced them into #and sparrow ben is clearly so used to being the manipulator so he’s thrown when his family dies and sloane refuses to be manipulated anymore #and he winds up kind of lost child esque accidentally *anyway* - ignored and repressing his feelings and unable to connect emotionally #also before anyone says diego is too stupid to be the mastermind google ‘the mastermind dysfunctional family role’ it doesn’t require you to #not be a himbo only to be willing to be cruel & as they all say in s1 diego never knows when to stop #pogo is an adult enabler. grace has a weird function bc the umbrella kids love her and diego is convinced she killed reginald bc of abuse #five seems similarly attached to her (makes sense given delores) but the others see her more as an enabler which is INTERESTING #i’m gonna stop rambling now

There was always a little of the doll about her.

Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady (1881)

#the portrait of a lady #henry james #literature #this quote makes me so sad #i have so many emotions about pansy #she's only a doll because you won't let her be anything else gilbert you fucking trash heap! #there's no bigger lol on this site than going into the henry james tag and finding that all the top posts are *~romantic quotes #BY GILBERT OSMOND #context matters! #tell me you haven't read the book without telling me you haven't read the book

MORE MEAT CARSSSS (AND HOTROD!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3)

from top 2 bottom: some bigass meat car models, HOT ROD<3, & examples/sketches of possible modded meat cars heehee

so the 2 other factory models r the mole, a meat car used for underground travel & excavation for permanent settlements, & the walking city, a meat car built for carrying many angels( about 40-50 on average) and/or their stuff across long distances.moles are one of the only factory models with a base that ISNT of angel origin for once; its a subterranean mole instead :). the mole can also come in a fair few sizes, with the one in the picture being the biggest.

I FINALLY GET TO SHOW U GUYS HOTROD TOO YIPPEE!! hotrod is clink's only custom meat car & is his pride and joy lmao. hes entirely a speed-based custom, being capable of 200mph max & an even faster diving speed, & hes quite agile too :). unlike ur average meat car, hotrod has a more prominent personality; often getting himself into trouble because of how nosy he can be. hes otherwise pretty well behaved.

like usual, gif stills r under the cut :)

#owo whats this #angel tag!!! wahoo #spec bio #xenobiology #alien species #FUCK YES ITS HOT ROD TIME #unless u read my tags on the last meat car post then you would have NO IDEA how excited ive been to show him off #this post took so long cos i couldnt figure out a design for his bodypaint lmao #looks ok enough but i really wanted more blue & yellow markings #ill prolly come up w something else later idk #i gotta say tho meat cars r so much fun to design theres heaps that u can do w angel proportions #anyway #thats all the tags i think

[s-n-o-w-p-i-e-r-c-e-r]

ignore me ranting in the tags i am aware i am being absolutely insufferable

#i feel like i’m in the wrong for feeling annoyed but i see so many slow horses tv fans getting it so wrong abt the characters #like I KNOW everyone can enjoy the media however they want and its obnoxious of me to be like ‘ahem in the books xyz’ but still :/ #i saw a post of someone calling river rich bc he whipped out a £50 note in the show #he is barely even making enough to pay his rent in south east london. cash use is a spy thing thats why he carries heaps w him #but the show doesnt even explain any of that so like i get it #anyway rant over but i genuinely cannot recommend the books enough #some of the best stuff ive ever read #slow horses #river cartwright

[astranauticus]

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3

Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could

Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)

Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each

A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani

Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions

VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources

(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)

Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)

Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)

The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)

Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)

Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun

Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good

Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas

Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!

Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists

VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about

Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with

MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows

oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)

Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately

honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

#rolling with difficulty #'do not let the internet turn you into an american' i say as i make posts that can be understood by me and me only #i mean im not sorry about it this is my house #like my experiences are just gonna be extra incomprehensible because my countrys fuckin tiny so the target audience really is me and me onl #too bad! you think its hard to read my posts? i gotta live like this! #if i sound extra confrontational i got 5 hours of sleep for the whole week unfortunately so just know its all /lh more or less #really tempted to make some kind of business major joke for roy even though obviously the heap trio would all be in engineering #bc its just common knowledge in my school that business majors are the ones with the most free time to go clubbing all the damn time #and *also* theyre the faculty that dresses the best which also tracks?? #didnt really nail down specific majors for everyone (besides the obvious ones like food science for finbar and mech eng for dani) #but i kinda like the idea of cs for VR-LA because of that 'programmers are real world wizards' joke and also.. projecting #cs with focus area in AI would even make sense bc of docent and emi. if i want to make the projecting Even Worse! #also if i ever do human designs for the old crew (doubtful cuz i find drawing robots more fun than drawing humans) #look up sally hansen hypnautical nail polish bc i wanna give human AS-TR that as a nod to her original design #didnt really get into the fashion of it all bc again i live in the tropics so nobody really dresses well here #the goal is to dress to not sweat more often than it is dress to look good #hands down my favourite line in the cqna was noir's i thermoregulate through my forearms #so in the middle of summer i still wear all black and just roll up my sleeves #like thats ME. except its summer ALL YEAR ROUND #walao #asto speaks
