#I believe but don't quote me

You believe romanticizing life means constantly striving to create a life extraordinary enough to romanticize. But the truth is it's not a matter of creating something extraordinary. It's a matter of realizing the beauty in the life you already have. When was the last time you appreciated the way gravity hugs you to the Earth? When was the last time you heard the wind and called it music? When was the last time you studied the lines on a stranger's face and tired to read the map of their past. Tell me, how long has it been since you submerged your head in the sea? How long has it been since you befriended the trees? How long has it been since you laid in the field and listened to the humming of the bees? There is romance in morning walks. There is artistry in a sunset sky. They is magic in late night talks. There is an entire universe in a person's eyes. So, if you are looking for extraordinary, you don't have to try.

#spinda #AAAHHHH YES!!! our belovèd spinda. from their café!!! probably one of my favorite minor characters from pmd sky #whom i don't even think was in the original explorers games. i think spinda's café was exclusive to sky. if i'm remembering correct #ly. or maybe that was shaymin village. i know shaymin village was for sure but maybe it was just that and not both of them. either way #have a delicious drink and allow the flower of conversation to bloom! i could quote spinda all day. he had “hopes and dreams” before toby #ever did. THAT'S ALSO like i had no idea what spinda's pronouns were. i kept trying to figure it out because i talked about him quite a lot‚ #but no one in game ever talked about him. to mention his pronouns? turns out. there's ONE line of dialogue where the post office fucker in #shaymin village mentions him and calls him a he. i think that's the only time spinda is referred to in the third person with a pronoun #i believe it's when they're talking about like. how you can send gifts or whatever and pick up the characters' responses at spinda's café #which is still a really fucking good feature. of any video game. SEE WHAT I MEAN spinda and their café is just an incredibly good Thing #it's to the point where my home wifi network is named “Spinda's Café Wi-Fi” because i love it so much. so if you're ever runnin around #and you see a wifi network by that name… it might be me! you never know! or… it could be the real deal. the real spinda's café is somewhere #nearby…! ugh. i wish. i would go there immediately #not even to mention all the other shit about this pokémon that's really good. like that they never walk in straight lines or whatever #their little dance. it's just. huUGHKLJKAHJVDHJHDAJSVGD i love spinda. a nice pick-me-up after the underwhelmingness that was grumpig #shake it this way… shake it that way… and stir it all around… and it's done!

Today I learned that the Pope has the right to appoint secret cardinals, and even the cardinals themselves may not realize that they now have a new position. Popes have the right to make the name public at any time, but if the Pope dies before the Cardinal's name is made public, the individual ceases to be a Cardinal.

Yes, Catholicism is weird.

But more importantly, there is only one person in the world who can prove that I am not a cardinal.

.

#I've heard of those #stuff is complicated as is and the rules and canon have varied a lot throughout history #don't quote me on this but I believe in order to be eligible to become a cardinal these days you have to be an unmarried catholic man #between the ages of 30 and 75 #and an ordained priest at minimum even though in practice all cardinals are bishops or archbishops #but I also think the pope as the sovereign leader has the power to appoint anyone at least in theory #and historically the requirements have been a lot looser popes would create cardinals pretty haphazardly #nepotism was exceedingly common every pope would want to surround himself with relatives friends and allies #at least a few popes allegedly made their lovers into (largely incompetent) cardinals back in the day #answered #anonymous #not that I know anything but everything I've read about the renaissance holy see has immense chaotic energy

Trying out some new designs (aka playing dress up)

#hi hello it's so soon isnt it :) #anyway i decided cwil deserves some 70s clothing #cus it's just right up my wheelhouse in terms of mix between favourite colors and cool clothing #quackity got a nice zoot suit. it's more of a late 30s/40s style but it's very cool and has lovely cultural aspects. #i do believe the style here is specific to mexican americans that took up the suit because of the more muted colors and stuff #but don't quote me on that! I'm not as well versed in the post 40s pre 70s period alright #i hope you lot enjoy this tiny piece <3 #i do have some interactions between the two of them coming up soon hopefully but this came to me at midnight and i just finished it #it's 5 am for reference. this is a testament to my dedication #I've ranted enough alright bye-bye xoxo #my art #fennec. art #cwilbur #cquackity #dsmp fanart

The Mario movie thing is so funny to me. Here, look at this:

Sonic movies (1, 2, & w/ 3 on the way) come out, does INCREDIBLE in box office, decimates Marvel films, who previously had a stranglehold

Nintendo sees this, wants a piece of that pie, buckles down to make a Mario movie Incorrect order of events, as pointed out here! Mario movie announced before the public knew about Sonic movie.

(Potentially because the previous Mario movie was so out there, did poorly, & was disliked by fans & then promptly forgotten,) they pair with Illumination, a studio that is largely known for making very sterile films

Btw, is it just me that finds it weird that there is no mention from Nintendo or online of the previous movie, in all this? Maybe I'm the only one who remembers this film idk

They announce casting. Everyone immediately boos because they cast Chris Pratt as Mario.

Immediate outrage, as Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario for DECADES, was not cast in his claim to fame roll

There is a (unsourced) rumor that a test screening for the film was met with disappointment, making Nintendo unhappy

Slightly corroborating this, Nintendo buys Dynamo Pictures, to make Nintendo Pictures, with the intent to make future movies in-house

Anticipation for the movie likens it to other sterile animated movies of the last 10 years, like the Minions movies

Trailer comes out.

People continue to boo Chris Pratt, a bad cast for a beloved character who is putting 0 effort into his voice, in comparison to all other VAs putting in 110%

Chris Pratt goes to bed "depressed," at seeing the response I was incorrect, that is an older article, about when he was thanking his wife for providing a healthy child, to which people drew immediate parallels to his ex-wife's son, who has many health complications & needed many surgeries.

But with your help, we can make him being depressed after media backlash reality!

Lol, &, may I say, lmao.

#gale chatter #mario movie #chris pratt #sonic movie #btw i 100% believe that rumor you cannot tell me that ain't what happened #also it is transparent that nintendo wanted what sonic movie had #damn maybe i don't do that batim video as my first maybe i do mario movie #my hot take is they should have cast both charles martinet & the super mario bros super show va #& used them interchangeably #bc. that would own #i wanted to mention thr jack black ass thing here but i feel it's too out there & irrelevant #at first reading the quote ppl got mad at i was little like 'oh dang is this not as bad as i thought' #but then i remembered 1) it's chris pratt he says rancid shut all the time & 2) #this response of stating he feels depressed while not like apologizing is just to do nothing but evoke pity #& he easily coulda apologized & been like 'i didn't mean it that way' or 'i wasn't thinking abt it & I'm sorry' #but he's not sorry. he doesn't see anything wrong with what he said. it's the internet's reaction that is thr problem in his mind #so he wants to make them pity him & feel bad that shit is TEXTBOOK manipulation i would know lol

Lea… do you remember what a clear sky looks like at night?

Out in the countryside, no town or city nearby?

I hope one day you will…

#crosscode #lea #sergey #emilie #c'tron #scribblins #i spent half of yesterday doing this and i can't believe i actually finished it LOL #anyway i've had this idea in my head for a long time #i just really like the idea of lea getting to see a proper night sky for the first time #cause i think a lot about that one memory with her and sidwell talking about the night sky #'a boundless sea of stars' is probably the quote that's stuck with me the most i really love it #that and 'we are just another type of creature lost in this vast universe' #dude's a natural poet it's shame about literally everything else #anyway not to brag about my own comic but i think my favourite touch here is that emilie and sergey's breath is both visible #but not lea and c'tron bc they're. yknow. using instant matter avatars #don't ask how they're there off shadoon it's probably something something trialling instant matter generators #also i tried to make it as spoiler free as possible #kind of like.

MC: Isaac won’t come out of his room!

Dazai: Anything factually incorrect.

MC, shrugging: If you say so.

Isaac, arriving moments later: Did you just say the sun is a PLANET?

Stiles: When are we sailing around the world

Derek: We need sailing lessons

Stiles: Who needs lessons when you have gumption, a can do attitude, and 40 minutes on YouTube

Derek: We also need a boat.

Stiles: Yeah that one is a real setback

Derek: Who uses the word gumption, are you a 1920s reporter?

Stiles: Hey toots, I don't make the news, I just report it

#altaria #here it is… the bird that turns into a dragon-type because reasons… #i still don't think just from looking at this thing that they should be a dragon-type. i feel like it still seems out-of-place given their #design but HONESTLY i like it. i think it's a cool like. subversion. type thing. i would not look at swablu and be like Yeah that evolves #into a dragon-type. and apparently a really good one at that? i believe i've heard good things about altaria #ugh. good things. got a selection of GOOD THINGS on sale‚ stranger… my brain does that sometimes #when i hear or say innocuous phrases it's like HEY that's the same thing this OTHER guy said in this QUOTE you've heard before #dunno WHY but. it happens. and it just happened there. but altaria i dunno it's a dragon-type and that's awesome. i don't remember what i #said i was gonna talk about on the swablu post yesterday wrt altaria and i am too lazy to look back at those tags to remember #hi it's me morning of this posting at like 7 AM. i remembered bc i just looked. i was gonna ask if they were good competitively #and. i'm pretty sure they are. ALRIGHT LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SMOGON #ah okay not busted but generally good i guess. latest information states RU in gen 9 but UU in a lot of other gens.

“you scared me." 🤝 “yeah i about had a heart attack.” 🤝 “i can’t lose you the way i lost her.”

the holy trinity.

#*and this is icarly! #the rookie #tim bradford #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well #for those of you who don't know tim 1000% whispered almost inaudibly under his breath those three words 'you scared me' #right after lucy comes to from him giving her cpr #i swear you can only make it out with headphones at full volume.. and you have to listen very intently. no distractions. #IT'S HAUNTED ME AND TAKEN SO MUCH SPACE IN MY BRAIN FOR YEARS SO I KNOW I'M RIGHT #can't believe we got the other two quotes in the same episode though #the writers are deeply insane for putting those lines in the same script #tim's number 1 fear has always been losing lucy in some way #she's been such a pivotal part of his life since she was first assigned to him #so much so that he doesn't even remember nor could he imagine his life without her in it #god i MISS THEMMMMM!!!!!!!

[stedesparasol]

y'know it's funny how we talk about certain fan reactions to izzy's death bc i watched the recent m*a*s*h documentary where they talked about abyssinia henry (an episode which kills off a major character) and there was a clip of the showrunner quoting angry letters he received after that episode aired:

'you tricked us' 'you sucked us in' 'we thought this was a comedy show' 'how dare you toy with our feelings'

this is a show set in the KOREAN WAR and people still felt a character death was a 'trick' and a betrayal. not only that but i cannot express how thematically relevant and important this death was for the entire thesis of the show. and yet they received 1,000 letters from viewers about it (though some were praising the episode, and it is overall viewed positively in retrospect).

idk i just found it interesting. this episode came out in 1975 and nothing's really changed.

start discourse on this post and i'll cut off your toes.

#this isn't even really about izzy it's about fandom in general i'm just using him as a jumping off point bc the quotes rang SO familiar #(this is actually a response to a post that i couldn't reblog for some reason (maybe op blocked me? i genuinely can't imagine why)) #(which began: the way people cannot take any negative thing happening in tv shows these days is genuinely frightening and incredibly tiring #(i agree but i also think the 'these days' part is overstated... this has always been happening) #(idk if that post was about the ofmd finale but it was posted right after it so) #anyway fun fact: these letters were on display in the smithsonian! #i don't think they're still on display but i do believe the smithsonian retains the whole mash collection #what an interesting piece of fandom history

Running List Of Name(element)s MXTX Keeps Recycling In Every Book, So It's Fine For Me To Assign Them To Basically Any New Character In An MXTX Fanwork:

-qing (half the cast of SVSSS, Wen Qing, Shi Qingxuan, Mu Qing, Mei Nianqing) -xuan (He Xuan, Shi Qingxuan, Jin Zixuan, Xuan Ji) -ming (Ming Fan, Ming Yi, Nie Mingjue, Pei Ming) -yuan (Wen Yuan, Shen Yuan, Yue Qingyuan) -ying (Ning Yingying, Wei Ying, Lang Ying) -ning (Ning Yingying, Wen Ning) -hua (Hua Cheng, Shang Qinghua, Sha Hualing)

some of these are not the same intonation or character as the others but then again a lot of them are. i think i checked and Ning (peaceful) Yingying (infant) could literally be the love child of Wei Ying (infant) and Wen Ning (peace).

#also some of the name repetition is plot-related #like with the qings (and the qius) in scum villain #and I believe the xuans in TGCF but don't quote me on it #but the rest of em? she just likes these names #I'm certainly not complaining #makes name picking easier
