#and very costly

[licantropa]

my working Spark headcanon of the day, is that just like the season one pirates, he doesn’t wear armor. At least that’s what it looks like. His clothes have enchantments threaded as various designs (from floral to spirals), making it look inconspicuous that it’s enchanted in the first place. Being costly to make he only has a few different outfits to mix and match with. It probably counts as like light leather armor.

#mianite #the old man had una espada ropera (rapier) at his side for ages I know he dresses well. I know he does. I know it (<- coping) #also very much inspired by the enchaments as tattoos. I just think clothing is less costly and also less painful method of having that #although definitely more limiting than tats (probably)

what i got rn

#if anyone um. is curious/cares/whatever then feel free to ask obviously #it would probably help me with ironing out details and stuff. normally i just let stuff come to me via dreams. u know how it is #the colours are just there to make this easier to look at #i was inspired abt watching documentaries abt ancient egypt and ppl commenting how their supply lines were super efficient #it makes sense that necrons need those too right...? more metals and blackstone... makes me wonder how costly resurrection is #also i forgot to add that not being very combat focused doesnt mean they wont start blasting unclean off their own mining planets

As we know, Disney has released Thanks to Them in full on their YouTube channel. This whole tactic of releasing a highly anticipated episode on YouTube to test the waters has been used by Disney before, most notably with the 2020 Ducktales episode “Let’s Get Dangerous,” which relaunched the core characters from the 90s show Darkwing Duck. They released it on YouTube to gauge the popularity of the show and it payed off! The episode got close to 3 million views upon release, and shortly after, Disney announced that they’d be making a full reboot of Darkwing Duck.

Which is why it’s interesting that they did the same for The Owl House.

Now that we know that the execs at Disney just didn’t know about the popularity of the show, and that the NYCC turnout is what tipped them off, I think it’s very likely that they released the episode on YouTube to test if the show really was as popular as they feared. And unfortunately for them, it is.

Thanks to Them currently sits at 2.3 million views 6 days after release, and that number is still climbing. It’s very much doing Ducktales numbers, and according to Dana Terrace, the execs are realizing how badly they fucked up.

So, what does this mean for the future of the show? Obviously, they can’t uncancel it, but I’m very interested in seeing where this goes. I hope we might at least get some more merch out of it, but Dana is also expressing interest in doing a comic run, which I think would be amazing. Releasing comics and books after the end of popular shows is common for Disney and other companies that do animated media, so it’s very likely! Disney is likely going to want to milk as much money as they can to try to do some damage control, and honestly? It’s pretty vindicating.

#I wouldn’t hold my breath for a spin-off show (DwD hasn’t really been heard from since announcement so who knows about that) #but it’s not impossible #I’m very much hoping for a comic #it’s the least they can do and it’s usually not very costly for these companies? #the owl house #toh #thanks to them #ducktales #darkwing duck #anti disney #fuck disney

There are four Silent Reading fics that have named the kitten Fei Qian which I [in my extremely limited understanding of Mandarin] think is perfect but where did this come from? I don't think it's in the text itself?

Did multiple people extrapolate the double entendre[or would this be a pun?] Or did one Chinese fic writer do it and the others claimed it in English? Or did Priest indicate somewhere that this is what they name the kitten?

Is this important? Not even slightly, I'm just super curious.

#mo du #默读 #fei qian #is that surname Fei given name Money #or feiqian which means according to Pleco costly or to waste money #its very layered name to my primarily english speaking brain #and like #i love it #but the adhd wants to solve a mystery and this is what it chose today

9 and 13, your pick of thing and its fandom

Let's go with ATLA.

9. worst part of canon This week I've been thinking a lot about the episode "The Waterbending Master" (S1:E18) and some of things that have always bothered me about it. My issues are rooted in the scene where Pakku tells Katara that he won't teach her:

First of all, he says it's forbidden for women to learn waterbending, but then he says that women learn healing. The phrasing here is kind of bizarre-- he seems to be saying that healing and waterbending are two completely different things that have nothing to do with each other, which is absurd; healing is one kind of waterbending, and fighting is another. (It bothers me in general whenever characters act like fighting is the only real kind of bending, because we literally see so many different applications of bending in the show beyond fighting, and acting like people who use their bending for building or art or healing or anything other than battle aren't real benders is absurd. Not all benders are soldiers, nor should they be!) Second, I dislike the false dichotomy presented here. Katara claims that she wants to fight, not heal, implying that it's one or the other. Not only does this suggest that she must choose between the two (and that she's chosen fighting over healing), it doesn't match what we see both before and after this arc: throughout the show, Katara uses her waterbending for both healing and fighting, sometimes in the same scene, and aside from this one episode, the narrative never treats this as anomalous. (Jeong Jeong even told her a couple of episodes back that healing was something done by "great waterbenders" and envied her for it, but now that's being retconned and we're told that it's a sex distinction and not even real waterbending?) Finally, I have a general problem with the difference between how modern society tends to treat traditionally feminine roles and skills compared to those that are traditionally masculine: things and behaviors that are generally viewed as masculine (in this case, fighting) are worthy of envy and emulation and everyone should be able and allowed to do regardless of sex, while those that are feminine (in this case, healing) are viewed as inherently degrading and pathetic (not to mention often unnatural and wrong) and only done by sad and unfortunate women who have no other options and are pressured into it. I find this entire mindset to be extremely sexist and, frankly, rather insulting to every woman in history. Imagine if the episode had been about Aang wanting to learn healing and being told only women got to do that, while boys should just stick with fighting. Now that might have been an interesting episode that would actually be perfectly in-character for Aang, as opposed to Katara "saves her friends' lives multiple times using her healing abilities" acting like learning to heal is a waste of time. (Ever notice that while we see several female waterbending fighters throught the franchise, there's not a single instance of a male waterbending healer? Is that because guys are incapable of healing, or are girls the only ones allowed to diversify their skillsets?) And none of this is to say that Katara was wrong for wanting to learn to fight or anything like that-- I just dislike the way the whole situation was framed.

13. worst blorboficiation The easy answer, obviously, is Zuko. I don't think I need to elaborate any more on that-- plenty of people have gone into this in the past, I don't think I have anything new to add there. (Although maybe that's more "woobification" than "blorbofication," if we're getting specific.) The one I find more personally grating is actually Kyoshi. I don't hate her, but I do hate the way people idolize her and act like she was the most amazing and wonderful Avatar ever-- usually while contrasting her with Roku, who gets such undeserved hate for... *checks notes* not wanting to kill his best friend.

Send me an ask that may incite violence.

#avatar the last airbender #thoughts #ask me stuff #choose violence #katara #pakku #the waterbending master #fandom critical #anti kyoshi #the portrayal of kyoshi that i found most compelling was actually in vathara's embers #(not to spoil it for those of you who haven't read it but she's shown as having been a complex character who made some very costly mistakes #some of which led to the chain of events that began the 100 years war AND incited the fire nation's enimity towards the avatar and the ek) #which i know makes me persona non grata in this fandom #but i haven't exactly kept my deep and abiding love for that fic a secret so why start now #fic rec #embers #vathara #thanks for the ask! #all queued up

Maedwyn also did wear helmets because he actually really liked his face and didn't want it fucked with.

How would that work though...

So I think his helmets would need to be in 2 pieces. The first piece would be worn like the male Viera headdress where it covered the top of his head sparing his ears.

And the second piece would be more akin to a mask, but it enclosed the head and face like a real helmet would, fastened in place by cords or aether-locks.

It might seem uncomfortably like a muzzle, a fact Maedwyn fully admitted to -- he'd been forced into things similar during his captivity as a Garlean conscript. But they were in fact excellent protection without obstructing his ears and the whiskers attached that granted him excellent spatial awareness, and he knew nothing struck terror into Garlean commanders' hearts like seeing something resembling their "prize dogs" facing them down.

Cowards of this grade painted themselves with the same stroke, everywhere. He had seen that pants-pissing terror on his minder's face when he killed her, and he didn't mind seeing it again on any of her wretched allies' either.

But, practically speaking, Maedwyn's helmets resembled Fray's face-plate. A gesture of love?

#maedwyn lavellan #there would be a bit of plating on the base of his ears as well #and cuffs on his ears to give them extra protection via a deflective aetherial current #so that most swings glance off them #it was a very delicate and costly thing that tataru proudly crafted for maedwyn #he asked her to do it because he knew her being able to make something that would so directly contribute to his safety #would make her feel good. but she totally blew it out of the water even so #and so far everyone had resisted calling the helmet thing what it was: egg-on-head #thancred came really close though after seeing the eggshell hat at the easter event and said Hm #maedwyn smiled at him as he cracked an egg between his thumb and forefinger #thancred: yeah. nah.

man mychart keeps showing that i owe scary amounts of money for my infusions, then going hold on this charge is actually pending review from insurance, don't worry. for now :)

#eye guy speaks #uc posting #like this ONE infusion it was very very costly bc insurance did not have any covered #then it was like wait hold on. insurance will cover Most of it (but i would like it to cover more) #and today i was like ok we gotta figure this out so i was double checking and now it's like WAIT again #like????? #most of this i think is because my dr left the place i get the infusions at and is now out of network #but i don't think the orders were actually being filled by her #which is what i was gonna try calling about #but now ummm i guess it's fine. for now :) #this is also why my last infusion was canceled btw ^ #still waiting to get it rescheduled HOPEFULLY bc things are getting noticeably worse......

[feminetomboy]

Ahh it is so beautiful outside today I am so so happy! So warm! Perhaps I will go sit down by the riverfront again and make my friends more friendship bracelets 🧡

Today we went to the farmer’s market and I got organic milk and fresh butter, local honey, red onion & cheese sourdough loaf, a medley of produce (spinach, Dutch carrots, fennel, butternut squash, potatoes, onions), local wine, spiced Easter crumpets, and a bouquet of purple and burgundy flowers… I am so happy.

#we used to always sleep in on Saturdays and miss the market but now baby gets us up at 7am #I forgot to go to the garlic guy - literally a whole stall of garlic ! #and next time I will get meats also #the butter was very costly but oh my my my it tastes like heaven

Thought about it before but didn't pursue it, what if I did more charms like this but with mix and match Kirby characters?

You could pick your favorite ships or teams or friends or something, do 2-4 chars per chain... is that something people would like to see?

#Tuuw talks #Kirby #Oh yeah have I even advertised my mage charms here? Do Tumblr people know I've been selling mage sister charms? #I would have to do pre orders for these no matter what since ordering like 300 charms at once is very costly #But I'd love to do this and I think people would have a lot of fun getting charms of their favorite sets #Plus!!! Unofficial ship merch!!! Think about getting your favorite ship with a heart clasp!!! Wouldn't that be so cool?
