pet names
[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash overhears a conversation from a nearby table at the restaurant they're seated at, the unnamed character saying, "Honey, can you pass me that?" Their partner says, "Sure thing, angel." The unnamed character begins again, "Say, did you hear the news from earlier?" In response, "Haven't got the chance. Tell me about it?" Vash smiles fondly, listening in as the conversation continues, "You'd never guess, babe! The runner--" Abruptly, the conversation is cut in by a "Needle nogging", Vash's expression changing instantly and no longer smiling. The panel cuts to Wolfwood who smiles lop-sidedly, pointing at Vash's plate and says, "If you're not going to eat that. I'll take it." Vash grabs the plate and holds it away and says, "Mine" while Wolfwood clicks his tongue. He pauses for a moment before asking slowly, "Hey, is there any reason you don't use cute names with me?" Wolfwood lifts a cup of water up to his lips, looking confused. He says, "I do though." Vash cuts in, "Spikey and needle nogging aren't cute!"
Vash continues with a shy expression, "Since we're together now..." he trails off and Wolfwood picks up, taking a sip of water as he says thoughtfully, "Together, huh..." Vash pauses in his sentence with a look of confusion before reaffirming, "We are together, right?" Wolfwood nods, "Right." Vash says, "Right", before continuing, his shy expression returning, "Then you can use stuff like... honey or-" Wolfwood cuts in this time and says casually, "You're not a honey though." A panel cuts of Vash's expression changing again, shocked. He asks, "Huh? Then who is?" Wolfwood says immediately, "Milly." Vash exclaims, "Milly?!" Wolfwood continues, "She's sweet, just like honey." A bubble pops up of Milly smiling as Wolfwood speaks. Vash continues, "Okay, true... What about sweetpea?" Wolfwood responds, "Kids. Kids are sweetpea. And pumpkin too." Vash continues, "Okay... What about baby?" Wolfwood says without hesitation, "Meryl." Vash exclaims again, "Meryl?!" Wolfwood explains," Noisy, like a baby." Vash mutters, "Hey, that's a bit mean..."
Vash continues persistently, "Then what about babe?" Wolfwood shrugs with a grin, "You are not a babe." Vash looks at him, slightly frustrated before exclaiming with flushed cheeks, "Then what am I?!" Wolfwood points at his hair and smiles softly, "I told you. You're the one and only needle nogging." A panel closes in on Vash's widen eyes, cheeks still red, pausing before he ultimately resigns, planting his face into the palms of his hands and muttering, "I give up..." At the same time, Wolfwood sneaks and grabs the plate of food that Vash left unattended, saying in response, "You get up cuaght up about the dumbest things, y'know that?"
The comic then picks up again to a jump in time, after they've left the restaurant. Wolfwood muses to Vash, "You said all that about the names earlier, but I don't hear ya using them for me." Vash looks to him excitably and asks, "Did you want me to?" Wolfwood looks at him with an uncertain expression, "Not really, but I guess I am curious..." Vash beams, "Then let's try some, okay... dear?" He fingerguns Wolfwood with a grin, little hearts surrounding him. Wolfwood just looks at him neutrally and says, "Okay," while thinking to himself, "Cute..." Vash exclaims, "So unenthusiastic!"
The next comic picks up at a different time, but on the same theme of pet names. Vash hugs Wolfwood and says to him, "Thank you, my love." A panel close up of Vash steadily opening his eyes before he sees Wolfwood's reaction up close, his eyes glancing away, cheeks flushed, and the smoke out of his cig forming soft hearts as he mutters, "Sure..." In a smaller, cartoonish style, Vash has a comedically exaggerated expression of shock and widened eyes as he grips Wolfwood by the shoulders while Wolfwood still wears a shy expression. He then nudges his head to the side of Wolfwood's with a close eyed happy smile, hugging him close and says, "So, there WAS one you liked!" Wolfwood, still looking away, but now with an irritated and embarrassed expression, grumbles, "Shut up..."
The final image is a short sequence. Wolfwood is working on something, spacing out as he does, while Vash from off screen calls for him, starting with "Babeeee? Babe? Beautiful? Honey? My love?" All of which gets no reaction from Wolfwood. Vash pauses for a moment before piping up again, "wolfwood?" Wolfwood turns around, finally noticing that Vash was calling for him and asks, "What?" A box at the bottom of the page says, "Unresponsive to anything other than his names." END ID]

Thinking about… Brian seeing a missing poster of himself. Feeling like he’s looking at a stranger because he’s changed so much. His hair is longer, his face is dirty, he’s got dark bags under his eyes— would anyone recognize him, if they saw him now? Or would he be a stranger in their eyes too?
Though if Tim ever DID see him out of his mask and found out about all this, I think he’d have a moment of like, “I will always recognize you.” That just makes Brian crumble. Because maybe it can be terrifying to be seen but he forgot how comforting it can be too.

Who says the episode title phrases in each episode of Wolf 359?
I've created a spreadsheet to show which character says the episode title phrase (i.e. the words which form the name of that particular episode) in every episode of Wolf 359. Graphs summarising this data can be found below, but to look at the full spreadsheet in all its glory, and see the progression through the series, you can follow this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cQLkhxbDAItU6rdiUAYGn54FXXxYC-JXlCmP_Dqe9FA/
(Please note: I’ve focused here on which character first speaks the exact title phrase within the episode itself. In some cases, this is not the only - or the most significant - time that the title phrase is spoken.)
EDIT: This post previously stated incorrectly that "the devil's plaything" is not said in Ep57. In fact, it is said by Pryce (through Minkowski). Thank you to @yaghoulghosty for pointing this out!

Aaaaall right. I'm gonna get on a little soapbox here. It's buggin me and I'm a little mad about it so I'm gonna say a couple blanket things reaaaal quick (Read: Long Post)
There is no one single "correct" way to enjoy Guilty Gear. If you've been here for 5 seconds or 30 years you're enjoying it correctly. If you're not playing the game and just getting brainrot over the characters and story you're enjoying the game correctly. If you're just playing the game and don't know who the fuck is who you're enjoying the game correctly. If you're having a nice fuckin time you're enjoying it correctly.
If you're gatekeeping folks over bs or little details, you suck dude! You suck! I don't like you! This series has a LOT of facets to it - some good, some bad, some appealing to some and not others, etcetera. Why are you being a wet blanket? I've heard the greatest theories and input on the story from people who have never held a controller, and I've learned the greatestest combos and neutral from people who have no fucking idea that Sol Badguy is the titular "Guilty Gear;" stop putting requirements on something that's supposed to be FUN what is your damn problem???
Rant over I think but just be nice. It's very easy. Calling someone a tourist about a series is an insane thing to do regardless of their level of involvement in the series. Don't do that shit. Everyone enjoys different aspects of things and that term is literally meaningless in this context - it's a hobby. For fun. This is a RIDICULOUS thing to develop a superiority complex over.
Whatever scent you get when engaging with Guilty Gear - you are SMELLING THE GAME. That's all. Don't be a loser. Bite your friends Guilt Free (I straight up forgot that is the meme version someone put on here it's KILL your friends guilt free but I'm not fixing it).

anyways, i discovered that i am mildly corrosive at work. i had no clue that rapidly melting the matte coating off of electronics like keyboard, mice, and laptops wasn't something that happened to everyone, to the horror of my coworkers.
so, the lamest superpower in the world. if i ever end up in prison, give me a good 15-20 years and i'll melt the bars out and escape.

what is your opinion on non-muslim people saying things like inshallah and mashallah? i picked up the habit from listening to a muslim podcaster, and the muslim people i know irl said it was funny, but i worry they were just being polite.
Can’t speak for other Muslims or the Muslim people you know, of course but I can share my feelings.
Personally I’m not a fan and it puts me off a bit. I don’t have spoons much rn but I’ll try to get something down. In part I think because the words have becomes so memed by non-Muslims (all the whole Islam and just speaking Arabic continues to be treated negatively or demonized, hell I’m afraid to say things like inshallah at work or around strangers). Also because the phrases hold religious significance, which should be noticeable from the invocation of Allah(SWT) in them. Inshallah and it’s use even comes from the Quran 18:23-24,
“ And never say of anything, “I will definitely do this tomorrow,” without adding, “if Allah so wills!” But if you forget, then remember your Lord, and say, “I trust my Lord will guide me to what is more right than this.” ”
While Muslims certainly don’t always use it entirely genuinely and also meme with it, it is out phrases and practices so I believe we’re allowed to have fun and make jokes and not always be completely serious. It does come from religious practice, and one I have always had an affinity towards, of reminding and meditating on that Allah(SWT) is All-Knowing and whatever happens is because of His Will.
So it feels a little weird ig seeing non Muslims use it. “God willing” is a phrase in English, and if you want to use that go right ahead to express the sentiment. Either that gets the same thing across, or if it doesn’t and it feels weird then you could examine why you wanted to use inshAllah.

no it doesnt bother me at all that every other clothing item sold second hand online is from shein and sellers even lie about it because they know nobody wants to fucking buy second hand shein
i wouldnt be surprised if half the clothes that land in the trash nowadays are from shein and aliexpress, „traditional“ fast fashion shops like h&m or bershka are tame and high quality compared to that shit
