Personally I find it really funny that based on what the twins said in the Book 2 finale re: having to tell their mom about what happened to Unalaq, it's literally canon that Unalaq's wife a) exists, b) is alive, and c) is just chilling in the Northern Water Tribe

She took one look at all the spirit fuckery her husband was getting up to and went "Well that's none of my business" and honestly I respect that

#oh and when I say spirit fuckery I mean it in both the literal and metaphorical sense. blame kat's latest raava and vaatu fic #yeah I'm just gonna start posting random LoK opinions on here now. this blog's been dead long enough #not really an incorrect quotes girly anymore sorry #not even a girl anymore. but you know #most of my red lotus and oc posting will remain on my personal blog though bc no one wants to see that #anyway. yes. Unalaq's wife. when I say the avatar franchise has a mom problem this is exactly what I mean #80% of characters don't have a mom. the moms that are alive either have little to no screen time or mentions #or they're basically Schroedinger's mom in the sense that they exist but not really #the exceptions being like. pema and suyin. and maybe senna though she also has very little screentime #my point is. the twins are younger than korra. I know avatarverse has a precedent for putting kids on the throne. looking at you zuko #but really we should have gotten unalaq's wife as chief of the nwt #introduced her in book 3 during the lead up to p'li's prison break #but that's just my objectively correct opinion #northern water tribe chief raspberry when #(according to avatar wiki her name is malina so I've been calling her raspberry in my head ever since I found out #malina means raspberry in russian that's why. probably in a bunch of other slavic languages too idk I'm not an expert #and she shares a name with katara and sokka's weird white stepmom from the comics which no sane person considers canon. so that's fun) #the legend of korra #unalaq

Got blessed with the stupidest modern!au idea for Sanuso I just had to share because I enjoy the idea so much. Sanji getting dragged to an indoor Zoo that houses reptiles, amphibians and insects by his friends and trying his damndest to not be absolutely horrified by the bugs and arachnids in front of the ladies, failing horribly because Luffy of course is just super hyped the entire time (“WHOOA SANJI LOOK ITS WINGS ARE SO HUGE!” “SANJI THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE A STICK! “SANJI THIS ONES POISON CAN STUN A GROWN MA-“ -“NOPE!”). This leads to him having a minor panic attack until someone gently touches his shoulder and goes “Hey, are you good?”. And that’s how Sanji meets local zookeeper and bugenthusiast Usopp, who not only manages to whisk him away to the staff room to steady his nerves with some coffee but also makes Sanji laugh and just hits it off with him immediately. Just in love with the idea of those two becoming fast friends and falling in love while Sanji also has to grit his teeth and face that the guy he’s falling for will also start infodumping about tarantulas the second he gets a chance and Usopp having to navigate about his crushes fear of insects by having to put a towel over all of his five terrarium’s he has at home because he’s considerate like that (and the fact that Sanji even wants to come up to his place with him, even tough Sanji is horrified at the thought of even being in the same room as a praying Mantis and that makes him feel all warm inside)

this is the sweetest most adorable thing in the whole world and i think i just died a little reading it /pos

imagine sanji trying to overcome his fear by letting usopp teach him about insects!!! he still feels unsafe around them, but the fact that someone as sweet as usopp likes them so so much makes him think a bit differently of them.

also, turns out he really likes usopp's apartment because despite being full of terrariums and insects, it's also full of plants and vegetation. and sanji loves both the aesthetic and the food he could make with them. like, i'm sure usopp has a private orchard somewhere (idk, say the roof of the building) and sanji would absolutely love to come over to his apartment only to make him different meals with the vegetables he cultivates.

and this is cliché af but i'm thinking about usopp having the keys to the zoo and bringing sanji with him at night. sanji isn't.... as excited as usopp ("the tarantulas are going to eat me and you won't even notice before it's too late!" "sanji, that's literally impossible." "IT'S DARK. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO IN THE DARK!" "I LITERALLY DO KNOW. I STUDIED THEM, YOU IDIOT!"). but usopp takes him to a place that's dark and full of trees and sanji is 100% sure they shouldn't be there because it doesn't look like a place for visitors. there's no sign or animals around and it's just... it's just trees and kind of looks like a forest. turns out it's the back of the zoo, (let's pretend the zoo is like, in a mountain. close to the woods. i don't know how to describe it, but i once went to one like that and it was pretty) usopp tells him, and that people are never here because you can't get here without climbing and the only possible entrance is a little hallway that was accidentally created building the zoo's structure because they just forgot to cover it up. apparently, only usopp and zoro (he's the security guard, by the way) know about this.

so turns out the whole place is full of fireflies. which are not as scary as sanji thought they were. they're beautiful. and of course, usopp is so not looking at them, if you know what i mean. he's lost staring at sanji's eyes. i think that's when they both know they're meant to be together despite being so different.

-> a lil bit of zolu: luffy loves going to this zoo and often tries to talk to the animals and climb on stuff so zoro has to stop him all the time. not because he wants to stop him, it's just his job. tbh most of the time the guy is sleeping and finds the job boring, so somebody doing all this crazy shit around the zoo makes his life wayyy more interesting. if they fall in love or not that's up to you (they definitely do, though).

#this was not that fun to write btw i have arachnophobia and i fucking hate insects and bugs #i'm just like sanji fr but i would never date somebody with terrariums like those #my best friend LOVES insects tho he's just like usopp fr #i would rather play russian roulette with a mafia than go to that zoo btw #sanji is so brave and way better than me here bc i could never #they're adorable btw thank you anon for this <3 #usopp #black leg sanji #sanuso #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #zolu #one piece

Why can't I just be like those silly little baby girls with sociopathic urges, big self-indulgence and maybe big money and nothing more (okay there might be some psychological trauma... so what?)

When?

I'm waiting

was he really busy or Jackie did not allow him to join Tessa in that podcast?

what do you think lol

#interesting how he wasn't ~so busy~ to give an interview to some random russian journalist about his kid when he should've been focusing #on his teams AND THIS WAS DURING OLYMPIC SEASON #he cherry picks the shit he's ~too busy~ for #and its just another way for him to disrespect his partnership with tessa #tho its sooooo weird jackie keeps on complaining he doesnt spend enough time with his kid #unfourtunately his teams are still gonna suffer bc he missed out on an opportunity to hype up their appearance at mtl worlds #WHEN WILL HE LEARN TO POLITICK #they're never gonna be successful no matter how well they skate

finding the blogs of old mutuals is very fun sometimes but i think i just found one of my ex and they are like. straight up lying on main

#or they just lied to me. but somehow i doubt it lol #(as in. they say they're 20. they were supposedly in college when we dated... 5 years ago 🤨) #(also back then they said they're russian and i mean. they did look white - #- but now they claim to be indigenous and palestinian... um?) #(like. if it was just the white thing I'd say it's a matter of passing. whatever. - #- but combined with not mentioning it earlier and also lying about their age... yeah i have my doubts 😩) #(that being said the russian thing was also always suspicious bc in vc they never had an accent - #- despite supposedly moving only a few years beforehand. so who knows! maybe that one was the lie then!) #none of this actually matters. they can lie if they wanna it doesn't affect me or smth. just telling you to clear out my head 🫡 #yknow there was also this time while we dated where they had just a huge personality switch #not for the bad or smth. just. a big switch out of nowhere. it was really weird #to the point it was one of the reasons i broke up with them. oops (alongside the aro thing + long distance being Not Fun) #lmao overall a very strange person i feel like i dodged some bullet there.

also the sheer insubordination eight gets away with on a weekly basis is insane for an imperial agent but it's 10x funnier if you consider there's only a 50% chance you can force him to listen if you say the magic word and it's failed 100% of all times it's been tried. hence why he's such a good litmus test for prototypes of the Castellans because unlike your typical docile obedient imperial, Eight will make it immediately known when he's not following your orders

#swtor #ooc #it's probably a hazing ritual/dare for baby sith lords by now #go tell that guy to do whatever you want. you can't let him catch on to the keyword though or it won't work. #russian roulette for sith lords #and the occasional higher ups #them: *sweating* you know iconoclasm is a weird word. could you go find a dictionary to look it up for me #eight: *stops chewing sandwich* No. #them: (angrily whispering) it didn't fucking Work I told you #also other times they're scared to do it cuz one time a sith started screaming the keywords at him in panic when he was about to kill them #and it still didn't work. #he just thought they were being crazy #and they messed up the word by saying other ones bc they didn't know why it wasn't working

[mishkakagehishka]

It's easy though

Кукла (doll) + о (to connect the words) + вод (a noun which comes from the word водить, which means to lead/drive and other forms of control)

Oh no no i know ! That's why i looked it up, bc it sounded like a doll-ovod type word, which fascinated me bc in Croatian, people don't usually get that combo! The only examples i can name are vodovod (water pipelines, water+o+vod), dalekovod (transmission line, far+o+vod) and plinovod (gas pipelines, gas+o+vod), so I was wondering if my ear was tricking me ^^ But it does make sense. You lead the dolls. Doll-o-vod. We just stuck an -ar ("doer/agent") suffix on "doll" and called it a day </3

#in the end i got stuck on looking at the morphology precisely bc of the o-vod i thought it was neat that we share that ! #because usually east Slavic languages sound very far away to me and hard to understand </3 #and then i also got to wondering on the etymology of kukla - from latin !!! #and then i got to wondering where croatian got its and our dictionary says that a russian /dialect/ shares the same word - lutka #i just. love etymology so much you have no idea #and it's always fun to realise there's shared stuff like that between languages even if they're pretty far away from one another #but i suppose morphemes are exactly the sort of stuff that sticks around from old slavic into modern slavic languages #asks

[rascheln]

maybe there should be a marvel crossover with billy as bucky and steve as... steve lol

#though idk if someone already did one haha #i mean it kinda works?? #except they both got injected by the russians with the same serum that gives them the same/similar power #except steve gets into the hands of the american gov and brainwashed #and bucky gets picked up on his deathbed by the russians and brainwashed #and they're both supposed to fight each other to the death and then run away together instead bc it's love at first fight<33 #harringrove

[dokyeomini]

BUT no more going to work!!!! i am freeeee

#and i got to walk home in the rain it felt very freeing #now sleep #i can finally sleep #i was so frustrated at the doctor's bc i again couldn't speak #and she was very rude abt it #i get she's in a hurry but #she literally told me the same things my boss told me i almost started crying lmao #she was sweet overall but yk a regular old russian lady they're just like that #i didn't even tell her that they fired me i kinda didn't get to it lol #so i think she's given me a 10 day sick leave probably #anyways. kt ks done all ks good in lrder #i am getting less money but i literally don't care atp

[shopcat]

what actually happened was i was having a dozenth time pjo era -> walker is cast -> walker is in that time travel movie so i watch it -> i like ryan reynolds sorry -> so i also associate him with walker and pjo and the way my brain works is thru positive association like a dog -> i watch free guy cuz i was now watching all the ryan reynolds movies -> Hey isn't that the strange things guy that's funny -> i see a tiktok about spree like the same day and the comments are like "it was so fucked up!!!!!" implying it was the most deranged movie on earth and i was like okay Lol i don't believe you i think it's normal and i go hey it's the same guy i'll watch it then 😋 -> shower scene -> i dm trinity something like "hey what the hell!!!!!!" bc i knew they liked jk -> i get recommend st after and go Why not!!!! and the player loads up midway through season 3 and i'm like hold on a second... and the rest is history. huzzah!!!

#saying huzzah a lot lately #i think what happened was i watched the rest of wharever episode loaded up and it was either the russian torture episode or the one where #they're cracking the code and i was just like wow ... I love him ... and then i started from the beginning i'm not an animal #tho maybe it was earlier in the season bc i didn't see robin's coming out. cuz i forgot she was a lesbian even though i knew that in the #back of my mind but i was like OU YEAH SHES A LSBIAN OH MY GOD #🐾
