The origin of Sifo's hair loopies?

"Jo, what are you doing?," Sifo tried to peer at her busy fingers doing... something with a section of hair at the side of his forehead.

"Hush, hold still." She sent him a cautionary jab over the Force, concentrated solely on her little project. "I just learned how to do this, so don't fuck this up."

What 'this' was got revealed to Sifo-Dyas about half an hour later as he peered curiously into a reflective bit of a spoon (due to grievous lack of mirrors in the Archives). He tilted his head, shaking it a bit, the movement sending Jocasta's hairdresserial masterworks (?) swaying.

"And what are they?," he asked again, looking at his very proud looking friend.

"It's a Knight-braid," Jocasta said proudly, "I learned about them when I visited Jedha. Apparently they fell out of fashion already back in Grandmaster Sunrider's time, but there's still records of how to do them."

Sifo looked back into the spoon. Shook the braids some more. "Knight braids, huh," he murmured, "I've never heard of those. You sure that was a real thing that existed?"

She shrugged, already going back to her half-finished kaf she'd gotten before their little pause mid mission-prep. It must have been ice cold by now, Sifo would never understand how she could still drink it like that.

"Does it matter if they did?," she quipped back, before downing the contents of the cup. "They're cute and they suit you. Way better than that stupid beard Yan has been growing out."

Oh, so this was about the beard.

Sifo should have known.

"Maybe if it grows long enough you can braid that too?," he couldn't help but tease her, "You know, get some old traditions up and going again? Maybe start a new trend while you're at it?"

All he got was a look that could have shock-frozen Mustafar twice over. "Do not," she mocked throwing the kf cup at him, "even joke about that, Sifo. I'd rather personally shave down Master Tyvokka before touching that... thing."

Sifo laughed, fingers already reaching to play with the new braids. They were fun. "Oh, don't act like that. You can't fault him for trying to hide his babyface. There's been talks of him getting offered a Council Seat, you know. He's been stressing out over it all month."

"And his solutions to that was to grow a beard over it?" Jocasta sounded dubious. "I don't know. Sounds like a case for the mind healer to me."

"Oh shut it," he flicked her though the Force, "I think it looks stately."

"Of course you do." Her defiant murmur was barely audible, buried behind the datapad she'd pulled out. "Suckup."

"Not everyone is on a crusade against all facial hair like you are," Sifo singsonged happily, ignoring her dramatic mood (it was mostly an act anyways). "A bit of self expression won't do our dear Yan any harm."

Jocasta's face darkened further. "Not him maybe, but just see how you'll feel about it when it gives you beard-burn. That shit sucks."

Sifo snickered. "Advice taken."

"I'm serious, Sy."

"And I'll keep it in mind, Jo." He scooted over to her, flinging one of the newly installed braids against her cheek. "Plus, you've given me the weapons to defend myself now, haven't you?"

With an annoyed groan, Jocasta simply reached out, quick as lightning, and grabbed Sy's entire face, pushing him away. "Stop that you little kriffer," she complained, "I'm already regretting this, just so you know."

Sifo let himself be pushed away. Then he waited a few moments, before immediately diving back in, tackling his smaller friend in a hug. "Nahh," he said happily, rubing his face against her side, "You love me. You love the braids. Show me how to do them myself?"

"You're gonna keep them?," she asked, peering down on him. It was evident that she was flattered by the idea. Flattered that he'd liked them.

Sifo grinned up at her. "Of course. As I said, I gotta be able to beat back Yan's beard-attacks, don't I."

"Hmm." She looked off, clearly fighting down a smile. "I'll see what I can do."

Hiii firstly, love your incorrect quotes series so much. Also since you’re a pretty big tlou fan, I wanted to ask you (or your followers) if you know of any published books that have the grumpy man, teen girl found family trope similar to joel and ellie? :)

hihi thanks for the love <3 im glad you enjoy my silly little memes

i'm gonna leave published up to my followers for suggestions because i have been reading so many fics and the mistborn trilogy so ive got nothing there

i can give you a ficrec for joel and ellie in canon or au situations that i love

and i can offer the movies like prospect with a grumpy teen girl and a silly man that adopts her and fics revolving around that

but published specifically in book form as an original i must leave to the nerds that follow me unfortunately hopefully someone can help you find what you're looking for in the replies (send an ask on anonymous and i'll post it or reply to this)

#giving prospect the grumpy teen girl and silly man alt to grumpy man and teen girl is so vague #shes grumpy for a reason but shes also just a girl and writes fanfic i love her #watch mistborn turn into a found family series tbh i made it past the prologue and then my favorite people started updating fics #im knee deep in spiderman and rdr and a last of us fic i love so so so much and a prospie fic i love and its taking up my time #i couldnt be happier #anonymous #asks #nERDS ENDEARINGLY BTW I WAS THINKING OF LISSA READING 14 BOOKS

Now that I am in fact completely caught up I have a lot more to say on this

Nobody here has been to a doctor or dentist for a regular checkup in like ten years

Aerith and Even, upon realizing this, are absolutely going to get on their case and possibly start nagging them about therapy to

Aqua coming back from The RoD and remembering she missed her surgery that was scheduled 12 years ago when the back of her mouth started hurting

Terra’s were removed ages ago and aqua remembers the like 3 days he spent sleeping off the drugs lol (healing magic has its limits and too much healing magic would just regrow the teeth which is simply counterproductive.)

The relevant rg nobodies (aka Lea and Isa, and Ienzo) probably had their teeth removed when/if they became a problem or before they became nobodies

Going to be honest with you I’m not sure daybreak kids even know what wisdom teeth are but if they did it was probably dealt with when it became a problem

Who the fuck knows with demyx

Same with vanitas like seriously i haven’t a clue go wild

Most of the younger generation and ven have not had theirs in yet/don’t need them taken out for a few more years or whatever except riku but he doesn’t know that because of fact #1

What do you think the green king would be like if he were alive? I mean, if he hadn't died as a child. How much did his personality change when he became a zombie? Or was he like this in life?

I believe it’s been mentioned by Gora that Hisui’s personality didn’t change much when he became King, he and his family were just like that (tbh I’m a bit ‘eh’ at that explanation though, it feels like an easy way to avoid having to think about the question). I imagine he would have been at least a bit different if he hadn’t died in the Kagutsu Incident though, considering that he ended up having no real face to face interaction with others besides Iwafune and Kotosaka (and eventually Yukari and then Sukuna, but there were at least a few years there that it was just him, the old guy and the parrot). I imagine he would probably still be a big fan of video games and just generally interested in the internet and computers, like similar to super nerd Gakuen K Hisui. I feel like Hisui shows several moments of real curiosity and I could see that seeping into his personality when he’s older, that he likes to try a lot of new things and learn about the world. If he’d been a normal kid I feel like he would be the sort that people aren’t sure about at first but who still manages to gather a close circle of friends around him, like even if he didn’t die he would still have that essence of a ‘King’ inside of him.

#Hisui Nagare #Talking K #tbh I think this is one of those easy outs Gora takes sometimes #like how Hieda conveniently had absolutely no one looking for him or who would miss him #sure it's possible but it's very very convenient #so Hisui's family just being 'like that' is an easy way not to have to think up a different personality #maybe in his heart he's just a sad nerd like Gakuen K

Hi Dragons, I noticed you've mentioned Star Wars on your blog before and was wondering what parts of it you've seen (ie: trilogies, tv series etc). If you haven't watched Star Wars Rebels before and have the time, I highly recommend it. I think you would like it based on the shows you've watched.

I have seen all three trilogies (the last two sequel movies largely against my will) once, and maybe twice for the original, but more than 13ish years ago so it's been a while. My salt regarding the sequel trilogy knows no bounds as someone who had Finn as their favourite character (and he's still one of my favourite boys.) I also liked Rogue One as a war movie even if I found it just passable character wise and have not seen a Solo Story, even if I shall probably check it out someday if only because my boy John Powell did the soundtrack and I freaking love John Powell.

We talked about star wars in some of my English lit courses in university / I’ve always put it under the fantasy umbrella where it’s a fantasy story that just happens to be set in space. My fantasy specific analysis courses were some of my faves tbh!

I'm not interested in the live action star wars TV stuff but I do know I'd probably enjoy the TV shows. I think I've seen maybe an episode or two of Rebels and know some of the spoilers, and I definitely saw some of the Clone Wars on TV growing up. I've meant to get into the tv show proper but it's a commitment and I found the beginning a bit slow going, but I'm sure I'll inevitably watch that and then Rebels through with my partner, tbh.

#thanks for asking #star wars #the-canadian-nerd #i know rebels has space mom and space dad ship that's a beautiful slowburn #and i'm always weak for found family #plus i think i'll like 'clone wars' bc conceptually the prequel trilogy is so fucking good #execution wise it just flounders a lot in the movies #but i think the tv show could generally remedy that tbh #also justice for the clones thank u

#Love how my sister is like wow ur so autistic haha #until the second I get upset bc a plan changes or a routine breaks #or she asks me to stop everything I’m doing to accommodate her #and then she’s like what’s your problem? What’s wrong with you?? #Frustrated that I can’t explain that I finished my plan of cleaning for four hours with an hour and a half left #so that I can finally practice piano before going to move furniture w my other sister #without sounding like I’m selfish w a martyr complex. #I know what she’ll say to it anyway which is that it isn’t her fault #so why am I mad at her #But I’m not! I’m not! I’m just upset. And I’m doing #literally everything she asked but she’s still asking what my problem is. #love how it’s wow ur such an autistic nerd #until I take smth too literally so they all make fun of me for not obviously makinf the correct inference #or need a schedule #or get pissy when I have everything set up and I just earned this time with hours of work for them #work that tbh I should’ve had more help with #and yeah yeah I don’t do everything and I do try to stay away from that mindset #but it also doesn’t change the fact that I cleaned 85% of the house by myself for smth that the whole family is going to be at #and also mowed the lawn and took care of the animals and put away the groceries #boy. I’ll get over it I guess #like I said I’m not mad at her I get why she asked and it’s more important for her to write an essay than for me to practice #it’s just upsetting. it’s just upsetting.

valerian has definitely tried to punch emet-selch at some point. i dont know when. i dont know if he succeeded. i just know he tried

#ellis probably held him back when he tried #maybe in one of the aus #hes fully aware hes the 'weakest' of the party #hes more in it because of his knowledge and good synergy with the others than because of his combat skills #hes a chemistry NERD ok. hes just a chemistry nerd with Guns. #which. yeah. he could just try to shoot him. but shooting isnt as fun as punching. tbh. #he probably also lost it a little at the 'remember us' bc he remembers too many people who died because of our dearly beloathed to care #ellis goes 'well he really did it just to bring back his people he just missed his loved ones' and their sister. valerian. & miles all just #gape at them. #theyre still young they didnt personally witness the atrocities val & tuya did. & miles. tho miles is more by proxy #ellis is also the canon wol in this specific version of the story (they share the role with ziero but ellis is azem) #so just generally their experience with the Bitch was different #my ocs #anyway valerian is usually pretty calm & collected hes just really protective over his loved ones & needed to blame SOMEONE #for his kid's defection. because god forbid he admits to himself that HE was part of the reason for luca to leave #valerian is funny bc hes such a fucking hypocrite #hell be like 'anything in the name of science' and then someone from his family gets hurt and suddenly hes blaming everyone but himself #up until hes like. literally grandpa age. hes wholly willing to destroy other families because ✨science✨. and then gets pissed #bc luca defected (OUT OF FEAR FOR HIM) #'feel bad for me my kid defected 😣' 'ur kid is twenty and you have driven families apart. you have murdered parents.' 'SO?' #he does end up growing as a person <3 #mostly because he follows luca and has to become a better person to regain their truat #like hes sweet & a normal person & has friends & family & everything he just. also struggles to understand the worth of a life #a life that isnt important to him specifically #problematic fave. tbh. #ziero is almost a normal person next to him

[pinktinselmonstrosity]

started watching manifest and it's just the right level of shitty to be good but i do really appreciate how it could have been much more of an action-based show but instead all of the characters are nerds

#like. in other shows the big action heroes would be using the callings for the greater good #instead it's mostly a load of nerds using science and yarn boards to try to figure out what's going on #and one equally nerdy dad just trying to save his family #i'm really enjoying it tbh it's really got me hooked #🧃

[fandomfuntimem]

Dp x Dc or just Dp things I (personally) want to see more of.

Just some stuff I've seen and really liked but never see enough of.

Danny is very casually a genius and/or skilled (engineering, gymnastics, really any skill you pick):

There isn't enough of it tbh. I dont think people realise just how smart and skilled he is. Being a ghost probably made him very flexible and gave him extra abilities the average human may not have. Also he comes from a family of scientists, yeah maybe up against them he doesn't seem smart, but being "smart" comes in different forms. More often than not the ability to be smart comes from your ability to pick up on things, retain information, understand information, and use that information accordingly. Danny does that, especially with his villains. He even finds outside the box ways to defeat his villains. Like tricking Freakshow into becoming a ghost.

I just think its under utilized. A lot of Teen heros are geniuses but no one ecknowledges it. Hell, you can make it that Danny doesn't even realise just how smart he is. He doubts it and often thinks he's one of the dumber people in the room. But when sleep deprived and running on a cup of coffee he can solve a problem he hasn't even seen before the konk out for an hour.

Danny has BEEF with the JL or isn't outright a fan:

In a lot of fics the JL (especially Batman) are huge hypocrites. Like they'll barge into Amity trying to solve problems that don't even effect them, screw things up more, then offer Danny more training. Hello????? You guys being there caused the problem???? Then, in other things Batman preaches about territory and Danny will get threatened or treated with suspicion for even stepping foot NEAR Gothem, but then barges into his territory like its his buisness.

Let Danny call them out. Let him point out that everything has been fine untill they showed up. Let him get MAD. This is HIS territory, HIS haunt, HIS people. These guys have done nothing for him! Why should he accept their help when their help only makes things worse? In fics where they help him because he needed it and ended up in Gotham let him be suspicious and careful. He doesn't need to be vivasected or hurt to be warry of the crime fighting furries he just met.

Mans has the experience to know you can't trust anyone untill they prove you can.

Danny should be casually overpowered and spooky:

This isn't even he has to be experienced. He is so used to his powers he doesn't realise how scary it is. He will casually stop a punch from superman, laugh, quipe, then punch back.

He accidentally breaks stuff, walks through things, glows, its so normal for him. He apologizes and does it again because he forgot. He genuinly has no idea how strong he is, he just knows he needs to be soft on humans.

Danny and Phantom are very different personalities:

I'm not saying they're two different people. They have the same mind same person. But the way they act is so different. Danny is grumpy, quiet, whimpy. Danny is a loser, and everyone knows it. Phantom, on the other hand, is confident, he jokes, smiles, makes a game out of his struggles, he's strong. Phantom is just a good guy. Everyone (minus others) loves him!

This happens because Danny is more comfortable as Phantom or Vise Versa. Sertant trates carry over, they're nerds, they're smart, they enjoy a good pun, they're sassy. But because Danny is a loser everyone sees it as lame, but with Phantom its endearing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

None of this means you need to get rid of silly nerdy Danny. You can have that but all these other things ad depth to his character. Hes smart but not confident, he's kind but not naive, he's powerful but not violent, and he finds comfort in the fact no one knows him.

Idk. I'm not a big fanfic writer so i thought i would just share and see what others do with it.

Me: I'm not that invested in the study of translation and its impact on literary texts and their meanings, I'm so normal about it, I swear.

Also me, once again continuing my research on Henrik Ibsen: I should honestly learn Danish. I really should. Who knows just how much meaning I'm missing out on that can't be properly expressed once translated from the original text? Surely attempting to learn yet another language while already studying Italian and brushing up on my French will not have any foreseeable drawbacks, so I should learn Danish.

#there's academics who are chill then there's the ones who latch onto topics and get so so passionate and want to dig into every last detail #guess which one i am #it just blows my mind bc there is so much information out there to learn #and not enough time #see when i say i want to get a phd and continue on to higher ed it's bc i'm such a big nerd that i could so do it #i've honestly considered branching out and learning other languages from different language families for a linguistic standpoint #but i've been so into translation studies too that it certainly couldn't hurt #i... literally what if i just started learning danish for shits and giggles. to read ibsen's plays in the original danish. #i keep joking that if i continue at this rate i'll become a leading scholar on ibsen but like completely by accident lol #cape town rambles #i might have to start a tag for my academic hyperfixations tbh
