Devil May Cry 2 Dante my beloved

my brother and I love to make fun of the way dmc 2 dante talks. My man was going through it in that game. every time he talks it’s objectively hilarious

#devil may cry #devil may cry dante #devil may cry 2 #dmc2 dante #doodles #I love him and his complete lack of expression regardless of the circumstances #And his tiddy window of course tf I look like #What are you doing granny #Also infested chopper best boss fight of all time

I'm re-reading Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters for book club, and there should really be a truly epic saga about The Friendship Of Gytha and Esme, Young Witches Who Absolutely Shouldn't Get Along But Do, Shockingly (Even If Sometimes There are Minor Natural Disasters Because There Has Been A Row)

#the scene where they get into a snarly fight because the country is poisoning them against each other? #and then the scene where granny is SO pissed off that magrat and nanny have to wrestle her down #and as the trees start to shake and the wind picks up - nanny slaps her. #that is friendship. #I would love to read about how it started. #how esme (thinner than a hat rack and easily offended as a cat; charging after every scrap of knowledge she can find) #met gytha (curvy as a road through the ramtops and biddable - as long as you suggested what she wanted to do anyway) #and they ended up getting along - more than getting along. being....friends? #even when gytha was more mother than maiden and esme was mumblemumble #they were friends. #discworld

I honestly love the clothing styles of each of the turtles in this show and I love how these styles really incorporate their personalities as well.

Like, obviously Donnie has the best sense of style, yeah? Think that’s something pretty agreed upon here. Everything we see him put together is very meticulously crafted and clean. That goes with his personality because Donnie is a very meticulous person in general, and he knows what he likes very, very well, and knows how to flaunt it in turn. Him commenting on colors he enjoys or disapproving of outfits that the others see no problem with also shows how he just generally has an eye for this kind of thing. He doesn’t just know what looks good on himself, but also what looks good on others - and I think this ties into his love of gift giving too. Donnie also has a flair for making sure that his things have his “mark” on them, and his clothing is no exception. All that he wears and how he wears them screams “Donnie.”

Mikey is really fun because his styles are honestly a pendulum between super simplistic and incredibly out there. And often, you’re going to see a lot of color or patterns to both. And in my opinion I think that all reflects really well on Mikey’s character - he’s got a colorful personality but even more than that he’s incredible sure of who he himself is. Mikey’s style, I feel, is less what looks good as clothes and more what sparks joy in Mikey himself. His bright stickers he wears are a testament of that! He’s comfortable in his own skin and his style reflects this perfectly, whether he goes for a more out-there look or a more toned down one.

Now, for Leo. Okay, I think I’m actually in the minority here I feel because Leo’s style isn’t really that bad? Hear me out- if you actually look at what he wears, try taking out, like, one accessory. Suddenly, that outfit works! He even manages to put together many good outfits in the series, but his “bad” ones are the ones that tend to stand out, alas (just like how his mistakes tend to be big ones oop-) Basically, my personal look at him is not that he’s inept at styling at all, but that he has a “too much” gene. And like everyone else, this sense of style is completely like him, too. Going too far to impress when all he needed to do was slow it down some to think things through. (And funnily enough, a lot of his outfits take random aspects from his brothers too - “nothing without them” huh?)

For Raph, I feel bad for him since pretty much all of his clothes are inevitably going to be ripped, but he makes them work pretty much each time. Like Leo, Raph tends to go more sporty with his looks, but I also noticed that his stuff often goes in that in between of comfy, cool, and cute. His pajama suit in particular comes to mind in terms of “cute” as it’s more something you’d see younger children in rather than older kids, and I think it can be a subtle nod to the fact that for all Raph tries to seem older, he’s still just a kid too.

I could probably go on, but these are just all off the top of my head - I love how the boys’ personality’s come out in so many different ways.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #rise raph #I love fashion actually #if you’re wondering where this came from it came from me watching hours of outfit creation vids #but yeah! I honestly could probably go more into it #but I’m going off my memory for the most part rip #Leo in particular makes me sad because I disagree with like 99% of the fandom about his fashion sense LOL #I don’t think it’s bad but it’s def not close to Donnie level #Donnie is his own category #Leo though he’s not just jerseys and ripped sleeves #he wears full eye makeup as a granny and kills doing it #his pirate costume was very well put together imo #even his regular weird frog like disguise is perfectly fine when you get rid of the goggles #I ALSO don’t think Raph’s style is bad either #my boy has more difficulty with clothes since he’s limited to the stretchier stuff but like #he’s got good style!! #I’m def looking more into this all than necessary but #watch me come back to this and change it like fifty times #if you’re wondering what I mean about Leo’s outfits taking from his brothers #look at Raph’s standard disguise (the one they go out to play basketball with) #ripped sleeves and a backward cap #one of Leo’s main outfits in The Clothes Don’t Fit the Turtle? #ripped sleeves and backwards cap #incedentally these borrowed aspects actually hinder his overall look! #his outfit without them is more HIM y’know? which says a lot about allll their individual styles

FOREWARNING FOR GROSS-OUT SKIN CLOSEUP SHIT DON'T YELL AT ME FOR SHOWING YOU has anyone else gotten this really weird phenomenon on youtube. I swear every algorithm on every website is actively and purposely worse now. Where you'll be scrolling through vids after searching for something (I was looking at crochet stuff) and SANDWICHED IN THE MIDDLE OF ACTUAL SEARCH RESULTS... YOU KNOW. LIKE THINGS RELEVANT TO THE KEYWORDS I TYPED

are a couple of completely out of left field SHOCK VALUE VIDS. like to intentionally be alarming. drama vids and things you're enticed to click on bc they're upsetting, and deep deep closeups on zits. what the fuck is going on. Sandwiched between videos about GRANNY SQUARES. crack? is it crack we're smoking????

#are you telling me I can search for crochet patterns and be fed videos of pimple popping and news about anorexic influencers? #THESE ARE NOT ADS!!!! they're just IN THERE. I have ublock I've got all that stuff. these are just completely irrelevant videos #in the search results after I typed like. granny square patterns. or something really basic like that #NASTY shit #and I know it's not the algorithm clocking me bc I can tell when they do that. but I hate hate hate pimple popping videos #so that's not gonna be it. #when mr. algorithm gets me I can smell it. because guess what. nail polish. it's always nail polish. #and I don't watch upsetting shit abt the starvation girl or anything either. and I don't follow drama clickbait channels #WHAT IS THIS. WHERE AM I. #why did they make me look at this!!!! #sergle.txt #you're not allowed to yell at me btw I gave you a warning. which was more than I got. we're in this together now. #i'm not sure what to tag this as bc if i tag it as body horror then ppl will bark at me bc zits are natural. is it natural to get #a camera this close to big irritated holes and boils on your face. lesions. cysts. is that natural. are we friends #do i need to be close enough to smell you. put my eyes directly into the holes in your face

It's finished! This blanket took me about 3 months and is the largest project by far that I have ever completed.

Tagging @chrono-phage who mentioned wanting to see other takes on this pattern.

The granny square patterns come from AlyssiaCreates, though I modified slightly to create the full, gibbous, and new moons.

#crochet #giving it to my friend (and meeting her new baby) on tuesday! #this project was me picking colours and a pattern and then repeatedly going 'what if I ...?' #I actually think that a granny square blanket is a very adhd friendly project as long as you allow variation and love the pattern #I would have gotten so bored doing the exact same colour combo over and over again #but switching it up kept my interest #and having a deadline also really helped

Dearest Grandmother Beetroot. May I please boop your snoot? Sincerely, me.

Granny picked up the baby and laid a hand on its forehead.

"Fever's gone," she said.

MISTRESS WEATHERWAX? said Death from the doorway.

"Yes, sir?"

I HAVE TO KNOW. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD NOT...LOST?

"At the cards, you mean?"

YES. WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?

Granny laid the baby down carefully on the straw, and smiled.

"Well," she said, "for a start...I would have broken your bloody arm."

Book ❤️ Bus the Shiba Inu x x

Bonus: The crochet bucket hat Book wore leaving the fanmeeting venue was a fan gift someone handmade for him & gifted to him last month at Fan Day in BKK 🥺

#book kasidet #forcebook #somebody needs to check his luggage before they leave #my favorite is the second gif when he tilts his head like oh it’s youuuuu #and when he has to be prompted to keep moving #how do i explain that book is the bestest boy #and how good he is to his fans #like he replied to op. showed proper appreciation for handmade gifts proving he is knitworthy. AND he packed it 1 month later for his trip #i linked op’s tweet which shows them making it but since I crochet i’ll break it down in the comments if you want to make one yourself #granny squares are beautiful but there are so many ends to sew in. its really a labor of love. #my edits #kasibook #wait what if the shiba is at the airport when they leave…. i’ll update it

Been thinking lately about the term Anglo-Irish. Specifically in the context of notable historical figures such as Oscar Wilde, J. M. Synge, W. B. Yeats, Bram Stoker, Jonathan Swift, Maria Edgeworth, and so many others. We’re so quick to claim that they’re not British that they’re Irish, but it’s not as straight forward as that is it? The same issue arises with notable Northern Irish people. Sometimes it’s clear if they identify as British or Irish, but not always.

Obviously we want to claim the brillance of Anglo-Irish people in history because they came from our home and that is important. But on the other hand, the Anglo-Irish were the ones making waves because of that privilege. That is important too. The Anglo-Irish - as a whole - were generally better off and a higher class than the general Irish population. That can’t be ignored. They become well known and influential outside of Ireland because they have the money and the connections to do that. Many other Irish people were probably as talented but just didn’t get the chance.

A lot of the notable Anglo-Irish people did go over to England and prosper there, which is probably part of the reason that people call them British. But even if their families were well off english landlord types, a lot of them were raised in ireland and that matters.

Wikipedia says

The Anglo-Irish novelist and short story writer Elizabeth Bowen memorably described her experience as feeling "English in Ireland, Irish in England" and not accepted fully as belonging to either.

Many Irish people today have family in the UK. Many of my peers have one British parent or grandparent, myself included. While the countries are separate places and should be treated as such, the people are still messy. I was born in England to an English mother and an English-born Irish father then raised in Ireland. Up until I was 15 or 16 I was a British citizen, then I was imported and now all my documentation says I’m Irish. I don’t consider myself English or British at all. And today, that distinction doesn’t really make much difference. I’m not any better or worse than my neighbours whose family have lived and died in the same area for generations. But historically, for these notable Anglo-Irish people, that distinction did make a difference.

#this has been in my drafts since….9th of may 20222 #I know I had a really interesting conversation about the term Anglo Irish and specifically bram stoker and dracula with fiona at the bus #station and I promised them I would write more about what we’d said #but I forgot and this draft has sat here ever since. untouched. #so you get this half thought #please do feel free to add on to it! I would love to hear other people’s thoughts on the term anglo-irish and their domination of the arts #other things too but those were what I was focusing on in a historical context #my own post #ireland #Anglo-Irish #irish #it’s probably more poignant now that I am living in the uk #and interestingly how many people i have met over here who have one irish grandparent and how many irish people my granny knows #who have never lived long term in ireland. people like my father whose parents left home in search of work and settled in the uk

Decided I'm still not ready to get back into blankets so I've moved onto making the Halloween cardigan 🤗

Have the first row of the body done and started the second! Gonna try to make 7 rows for the body but depending on how much yarn this takes it might have to be a bit shorter :p we'll see

Also the ribbing on the cuffs and the hem is going to be orange and black stripes 💚💜🖤🧡

The weekend retreat was SO lovely, you guys. I felt like a teenager again, and that isn't just because we spent two and a half hours running around in the dark tackling and wrestling and nearly biting each other in a frenzy to win a game that got WAAAAY too competitive xD

#it's SO funny to me that i was tackled to the ground FOUR times. like my dudes what threat do **i** pose to you?? i'm SMALL and SLOW #and have been complaining since 8:30 of fatigue and wanting to sleep (like a little old granny) and y'all KNOW i don't do strenuous exercis #regularly. so like. whyyyy four timessss i had gravel in my mouth and was so indignant #anyway this just goes to show that i'm not very competitive and only get that way when REALLY worked up #anyhow it was lovely! lots of singing and praying and time beside/inside the lake :D #am feeling much refreshed!

#in a strange place today and i need to put this somewhere. i do not have a journal yet. this is it #my grandad was diagnosed with dementia years ago and the grandad i have now is often unrecognisable from the one i grew up with #and while this like isn’t fun and it is strange for him to look at me and not know me more times than he does. it has also been kind of l #lovely? #bc he thinks my granny is still alive so whenever i get to go see him i get to pretend she is too. and she is for a minute. and tho i am #glad she went before him. it is nice to say oh i’m popping in to see her after this grandad and talk about her like she’s hasn’t been gone #since i’ve been ten. my dad has spoken more to him in the last five years than he has his whole life #he was not an easy man. he was loud and friendly and hard working and funny and scary but not easy. in ways he is even #harder now. in others he is easier. #he is more of a child. this is what dementia can do to a brain. we are learning things about his childhood that no one alive has ever spoken #about. that no one knew. my dad doesn’t love him more now but he understands him better #my grandad taught me how to drive a tractor and how to fish through my dad and he has not recognised me in over a year and he #hasn’t walked since he broke his pelvis seven years ago and his muscles are nearly all gone. he is a fraction of the size he used to be. his #personality and body took up my childhood like adults on the screen in cartoons. he hasn’t dressed himself in a decade. he told one of the #nurses that after dinner he wanted ice cream plain like herself and nearly peed when she laughed and told him to fuck off #he is in there. he is himself. i know him. but he isn’t. he doesn’t know me but he allows me to tell him how to ppl he knows are doing. he #still somehow trusts me. we talk a lot about my granny and how she stayed up watching tv again last night so she’s tired today. don’t stay #long when you call in to see her? #whenever we would journey to see him and my granny and get in v late he’d ask us if we wanted apple tart and my granny would say michael. #not ur kids. u can’t parent them. he didn’t know my name yesterday but he asked me if i wanted apple tart #i hope he dies soon. for all that i will miss this. miss my dad having this. he would not want to live like this. it wouldntbe living to him

Like am i supposed to feel like i'm wrong for thinking visible signs of aging and growing are hot as fuck? No. It's society that is wrong and I say this unironically.

#like what do you have against wrinkles and stretch marks and sagging skin and blemishes and body hair???? #why do you hate aging. i'm not gonna say it seems vaguely p.edop.hilic but i think some of you forget you're supposed to grow old with #your beloveds. i fantasise about holding my old-ass spouse's hand in my granny-ass hand when i grow old #you can go chase the rainbow of never-aging but me personally i find it romantic so
