#and EVEN THEN

[markscherz]

do you feel positive, negative, or neutral about inaccurate plastic skeleton halloween decorations? like what's going on with this guy's everything?

you may not know this, but I am something of a specialist on amphibian skeletal anatomy, and this… thing is a sin against my entire field.

Frogs do not have ribs. Where is its pectoral girdle? Why does it have mammal feet? What even happened to its hips? Why does it have SO MANY VERTEBRAE‽ And what in the seven hells happened to its skull? Hypertrophy is one thing, but this… this is just lazy. They seem to have decided to give it a beak??? And the nostril is super far back and also somehow integrated into a bone¿?¿?

What in the name of Eru Ilúvatar is going on‽

#holy hells this is horrific #only 265 days to Halloween #frog #except really not a frog #this is a particularly mistreated dog #and even then #ugh #answers by Mark #csevet

country bumpkin merlin not knowing anything about city life and accidentally courting arthur without knowing

merlin, watching gwen give lancelot her favor: why do you do that

gwen, heart eyes at lance and not paying that much attention to the conversation: so he knows i’m rooting for him

merlin, with an Idea: ah.

gwaine, lover of chaos, pisser offer of nobles and royals alike, ultimate wingman: merlin…you have such lonely lips. shall i introduce them to mine?

merlin, unaware of the game gwaine is playing: so you can steal my breath away? i think not, scoundrel

arthur, crushing his goblet in his hand:

merlin: arthur’s been in a bad mood recently :( i should cheer him up

merlin, remembering when arthur was put out when merlin brought morgana flowers and not him: i know just the thing

merlin, bringing a bouquet of carnations, roses, and tulips and setting them on arthur’s table while he’s eating breakfast: good morning, sire

arthur, trained on flower language in hopes that one day when he was to take a queen he could woo her easily, trying not to audibly choke on his sausage as he reads merlin’s declaration of love sitting in front of him:

arthur, who recently found out about merlin’s magic and was trying to find a way to bring it up, catching him in the act and watching merlin panic to explain himself:

merlin, Freaking: and i swear to you arthur, i have only ever used it for you. my magic is yours. my life is yours. i am yours. i would never do anything to harm you. i have protected you for years and will continue to do so at your side if you’ll have me

arthur, already believing them to be courting, desperately trying to figure out if that was a proposal for marriage or not but tired of being confused and deciding fuck it: here.

merlin, taking it: i…uh…huh?

arthur, watching merlin with hawk eyes and trying to figure out what he’s thinking and feeling: it’s my mothers sigil

merlin, confused as FUCK but is focusing on the fact that arthur is handing him something of his mother rather than a death sentence: my…my lord?

arthur, realizing how scared merlin’s must be about him finding out about his magic and trying to comfort him while also proposing, killing two birds with one stone: i will always keep you at my side, merlin, so long as we both shall live. if you’ll allow me.

merlin, almost collapsing with relief and tearing up, smiling at arthur as if he had parted the storm clouds to allow sun to shine down on them in that moment: of course…of course, arthur. always and forever.

merlin, watching the castle staff rush this way and that: wow. this banquet must be incredibly important

sir leon the long suffering, day one ride or die, one of the original merthur shippers: banquet? merlin, this is for your wedding

merlin, overworked and exhausted: my WHAT? to WHO??

leon, regretting everything he’s ever done in his life that led him to this moment: to…arthur?

merlin, over joyed but also absolutely befuddled: i’m getting married to ARTHUR?????

leon: you two have been courting for the past year or so, have you not?

merlin: i’ve been COURTING ARTHUR?????? FOR A YEAR?????????

#merthur #i spent like an hour researching medieval courting rituals to make this #and even then #i did not find much #so if there’s someone out there who is like weirdly knowledgeable about 6th century courting rituals #feel free to add on #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin emrys #sir gwaine #sir leon #sir lancelot #guinevere #i literally started this post bc i was thinking about the misunderstanding between merlin and gwen and merlin’s giving arthur his favor #and then i kept going #but i didn’t have much else in the ole noggin to write #i’m sorry #please forgive me

#yes we love him #but imma level with you #without the lov I don’t think he would have gotten very far #and even then #the plan is not great #I want him to survive and be like #you know on second thought #there were maybe better options #Tomura is doing great but Dabi #not so much??? #mha #boku no hero academia #bnha #mha memes #Dabi

the thing about bakugou and attraction is that he's not shallow and i don't think he has a type. like, he considers the value people have—who they are, what their strengths are, their passions, their goals, their mindset—and i think those are the most defining factors for him when it comes to 'liking' someone.

and yeah, he's a man. he has initial and instant attractions to people. but i think they're fleeting and go as quick as they come. so i think he doesn't pay much attention to physical appearance, per se, when it comes to deciding who he wants to give his time to.

but—when he does decide that you are the person he wants to give his time to, everything about you is suddenly so attractive.

#what i'm trying to say here is #bakugou snorts and rolls his eyes and tells kaminari to get his tongue back into his mouth whenever he sees jirou #and he does that for a long time #yes he finds other people attractive — maybe even very much so #but he's not DOWN BAD for anyone in that way #until he meets you #and even then #before he gets to know you he'll think you're another pretty face #and then once you two talk more and spend more time together he's like #oh my god. i'm a meathead. #alcdsjal #but he's NOT A MEATHEAD #bc he literally only gets so insanely stupid attracted to you once he gets to know you #but he's never felt such physical desire in his life that way that he feels like an idiot LOL #✿ thoughts: bakugou

Rereading Rhythm of War and listening to how Gavilar talks to one of the most driven, talented, amazing women in Alethkar like:

I want to haul up this man's soulcast statue and bring him back to life just so She can be the one who gets to kill him this time.

#cosmere #navani kholin #gavilar kholin #rhythm of war #brandon sanderson #the stormlight archive #tsa #i really truly hate this man #the level of committed dedicated verbal avuse he heaps upon her #because you can tell how intimidated he is by her #how dependent he is on her #so he must try and tear her down as low as he can #and even then #hes still quaking in his boots #i want to throttle this man #i want jasnah and dalinar to hear what he said to her #so they can revive and then kill him #because they would #how fucking DAFT do you have to be #how IDIOTIC #to try and insult and tear down such an amazing woman???? #i love navani so much ok? #im happy she found better #and honestly???? #never loved szeth as much as i do in this moment

i vaguely remember seeing a post about the woman on tiktok illegally digging a tunnel under her house to make a storm shelter, but i did not realise that 1) she has 0 qualifications and works in IT, 2) she got into her areas watertable and started pumping groundwater out into her yard, 3) when a fire broke out, she recorded herself putting it out with a fire extinguisher in one hand and her phone in the other, 4) she hit a radon gas bubble, 5) shes located somewhere with big sulphur pockets and as she got into the waterline, she might have produced sulphuric acid which leaks into the aquifer, aka she could be poisoning the local drinking water, 6) she lives on a CUL-DE-SAC, 7) shes just been releasing silica dust whilst not using respiratory gear herself, let alone warning her neighbours, and 8) her neighbours have said the ground would randomly shake sometimes but many of them felt they couldnt report it to local authorities for fear of deportation.

she has now been stopped and seems to think that since shes only tunneling under her property, itll be easy to get permits to continue. she also drives a tesla which... yeah, that sounds about right.

#kai rambles #tunnel girl #im just #maam you brought a geiger counter with you and like that very much showed that you had hit a radon air bubble #and even then #you were like #yeah #ill keep going #like shes clearly selfish and this whole thing is also a demonstration of the dunning kreuger effect #but most people have some level fear towards radiation #enough so that i would hope it would be enough to stop them #but nope

The thing about Age Swap AU that I really like is the fact that both Mob and Reigen are inherently so much more unstable.

On Reigen's end, most of it is from the fact that he's a kid—he doesn't have the same amount of emotional intelligence because he has less experience overall, and the fact that his relationship with his parents isn't,,,,great, even in a canon setting. A boy still mucking around in the trenches of parental abuse/neglect is always going to be more rickety emotionally and mentally than a grown man who's been given years to heal and distance himself from it.

And then there's Mob. Mob is a bit more a wild card in this area, just because without Reigen his childhood is more or less an unknown. Did Mogami find him? Would it have made him crueller if Mogami mentored him instead? What about Claw? Did they take him in? Is he still with them, did they fall, does he regret it? Is he jaded or riddled with guilt or stuffed so far back in his shell that it takes a little blond boy wielding a huge emotional and verbal hammer to start breaking through it? Either way, I definitely don't see him being as emotionally stable as canon Mob. He likely hasn't reconciled with Shigeo, he probably never truly accepted his powers, and thus has the emotional maturity of a ten year old—Reigen still beats him on this. Mob's only point of positive advice would've been Ritsu, and that's....I mean, it's Ritsu. He hasn't had any significant good influences in his life so he absolutely struggles on how to be one himself.

The potential for these two to be codependent is SO much higher and I love it. Unhealthy dynamics are my absolute JAM (one of the reasons I have this animatic rotating in my head at top speeds 24/7 365) so the inherent prickliness of whatever Wrongness™ these two have going on just. has me. Reigen clings because it's all he knows how to do—even if Mob banishes him from the office, he's a persistent kid that hasn't learned you shouldn't chase after moody grown men with emotions so repressed it manifests as a literal eldritch alter with no morals to curb its desires. And Mob has had to go even longer alone in this sort of universe than ever, and Reigen is likely the only person who's never been afraid of him; he's latching onto that kid like bear trap and never letting go. He's still tenderhearted, but it's plagued with years and years of loneliness and inner turmoil that he's had no one around to soothe; he's over a decade too late for 'healthy'. Not that Reigen minds <3

#feral about them #age swap au #mobrei #reimob #mob psycho 100 #reigen arataka #mob #kageyama shigeo #grown up reigen at least has the emotional maturity and common sense to know how to fix his fuck ups with mob #grown up mob....would NOT have that #and kid reigen likely wouldnt have anyone telling him that hes inherently worth something #canon mob has ritsu and his absent-minded but well meaning parents and even the telepathy club/bic #tiny reigen probably has his sister and thats it #and even then #you couldnt beat that kid off mob with a stick #and ritsu would probably know. hes tried. #it doesnt help that mob has subconciously psychically glued reigen to his ribs #theyre soooo unwell your honor 💕💕

Also, I refused to put any weight behind this love triangle because it’s clear that Sam-dal doesn’t like Sang-do(?) in the same way he likes her. They have major friend energy.

Not to mention how she played off raising her arm so that his hand would move after she saw that Yong-pil noticed? Yeah, sorry sir. You and your Lambo ain’t getting the girl.

Sidebar: I want to note (again) that Ji Chang Wook’s smile is SO lovely and that his eyes are also lovely (re: dangerous.)

#welcome to samdal ri #welcome to samdalri #there are very few instances where i WOULDN’T pick ji chang wook #and even then #it would be a struggle #he’s just yummy #ji chang wook #shin hye sun

abused nonhuman pet whumpee being rescued and rehabilitated, but still as a pet. their new master isn't going to liberate them or teach them how to be a person or whatever, they adopted a pet because they wanted a pet.

it's such a shame that whumpee is so traumatized and afraid, no one should ever treat their pets that cruelly and new master hopes whumpee's previous master burns for what they did, but it's nothing a good heap of love and patience can't help.

(maybe this is just a new type of horror for whumpee. or maybe whumpee has been a pet all their life, and getting to be a beloved companion instead of a punching bag is a dream come true)

#whump #whump prompts #pet whump #nonhuman whumpee #mine #honestly i like looking at it the second way #whumpee's new master gives them affectionate scritches and a soft warm bed in the corner of their bedroom #they don't get mad when whumpee gets lonely at night and curls up at the foot of their bed instead #the most extreme 'punishment' they've ever given was a firm bap on the nose with one finger #when whumpee lashed out and almost bit them as a panic response once #and even then #they gave whumpee a hug afterwards and rubbed their back and told them they're not mad - they knew whumpee was just scared and not thinking

I need the people in my life to know that they shouldn't say things like "I think I'm going to read Farseer" lightly. I hear that as if it's an oath and will not be normal about it.

"The other Kyoto students were so mean talking badly about mechamaru while miwa was crying they just don't care about each other like the Tokyo students do" too many of you have the media literacy of a fucking walnut
