it's been a while on my rewatch, but i'm watching the fake wedding case and... can we just talk about how shinichi's reaction is so different in the anime compared to the manga?

bland. boring. WHERE IS THE FEELING IN THIS. just. No.

THIS THO

SMITTEN. BESOTTED. A TRUE SIMP. JUST LOOK AT HIM. HE'S A BABY YOUR HONOUR. BABY IN LOVE!!!!

bonus: shinichi peeking at ran with a blush on his face at this bit (and ran blushing too, pretty please)

We Were Robbed.

HE'S SO IN LOVE? #HE FREAKING BLUSHED JUST IMAGINING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE IN A WEDDING DRESS??? #me just thinking about his face in topical land as he imagines confessing to ran AND ABOUT TO KISS HER IN HIS DAYDREAM? #NOW THAT IS A BESOTTED MAN. SMITTEN. HEAD OVER HEELS. #it feels like we were ROBBED #sometimes i think the anime does a better job than the manga #but not in this particular instance #the fact that you cannot tell at a glance how much of a simp shinichi is for ran is a crime A CRIME!!! #me on my current reread: i will so make a collage of all his simp moments.

Gonna be a bit confrontational over here but a lot of the people who defend new paywalls from platforms that didn't have them and make it seem like not supporting that is automatically disrespecting the work that goes into making said content just have themselves the money to pay for it.

Respect for content and their creators's need to make a profit of their work doesn't magically give people money to give them if they don't have it.

Those people who are like "paying for this is like paying for your morning coffee" make me laugh because it implies that 1) they buy like starbucks coffee every morning, which is an expense I cannot fathom and 2) they think that the US$ isn't an insane hurdle in itself for so many people in countries in which their currency is at a wild disadvantage in comparison to it.

Don't make it seem like not having the money to afford something that isn't a primary necessity and stating how unfair it's becoming that things that used to be accessible aren't anymore is the same as feeling entitled to someone's work or disrespecting it.

Maybe I'm wrong but I do believe that the indiscriminate monetization of content creation online has become so normalized and unquestioned in people's internet use that it's making people judge as morally reprehensible when someone literally cannot pay for a service.

I am by no means Ada’s best supporter but I WILL say that her accusing Annabel, resident girlboss lesbian, fer being into Prospero isn’t as bad when you remember like 99% of White Raven moments were done in secrecy between just the two of them- almost like that was the poinntt whooaaa- and also she’s having a super bad mental breakdown with clouded judgement right now.

Prospero has never treated Annabel badly and actually had some good moments of teamwork with her, Annabel is rushing to his defense right now, putting this limited info of two and two together and to be honest Ada jumping to the conclusion that Annabel was into him isn’t like, a GREAT guess, but given her super mega heartbreak mode that went so crazy it triggered her spectre yeaaaahhhh I can see why she’d jump the gun into delusioning Annabel’s heterosexuality like that.

That being said I will still absolutely clown on this repressed, closeted as all hell bisexual’s complete and utter lack of gaydar because yeah that shit’s funny as hell keep the memes coming <333

#i wouldnt usually defend ada but mam her backstory was so tragic i’ll give her a break just this once #like i fully believe girl has N O gaydar N O N E but also in this particular instance its kinda fair why she thought what she did #shes going prettyyyy feral rn so yeah i think her making wild as hell accusations is to be expected LSNFMWKFKWK #nevermore webtoon #white raven #annabel lee whitlock #ada nevermore #lenore vandernacht #prospero nevermore #snorts okay okay i’ll do it watch this #white plague

i've been dying for a poll option ever since i saw my followers' answers to that text post from february 2022 asking people whether they pronounce beloved as "be-lov-ed" or "be-loved". many people were emphatic about only using one option, and many others use both but were not always able to articulate when they use 2 syllables vs. 3. so out of the goodness of my heart and my insatiable lust for knowledge i have gone through the notes on that post and written down some likely contenders! you're welcome!!!!

BEFORE YOU ANSWER! think about how you would pronounce beloved in the following syntactic contexts:

noun, talking directly to the beloved: hey there beloved

noun, talking about rather than to the beloved: my beloved lives in a pineapple under the sea

adjective in a noun phrase: my beloved x lives in a pineapple under the sea

verb participle: x is beloved by y

okay poll time! there are no wrong answers!! and apologies in advance if i didn't capture your truth, i only had 10 options and life is a rich tapestry!!

#oh man i could have easily come up with another 5-8 options but they cap you at 10. which is probably a good thing #one person said they say 'my be-lov-ed x' but 'my much be-loved x'. the only difference being the 'much'. couldn't fit that one on here #someone else said they use 3 syllables in a possessive noun phrase (my be-lov-ed x) but 2 if it's not possessive (the be-loved x) #one person said it depends on whether it's past or present & i wasn't exactly sure what that meant. 'x is beloved' vs. 'x was beloved'? #i also think there's likely a distinction for some people between 'x was beloved' and 'x was beloved by y' but couldn't get into that #oh and then there's 'beloved by' vs. 'beloved of' #and since some of these are syntactic distinctions and some are semantic or otherwise i'm sure there's a whole matrix of combinations #like '3-syll noun if it's a person but 2 if it's a thing. 2-syll adjective/verb participle for both people and things' #that was beyond the scope of this poll lol #but mostly why i'm so curious is because people will very emphatically say something that might not mean what they think it means #like for instance i got the impression that at least some of the people saying 'be-lov-ed when i'm talking to them‚ be-loved when i'm #talking about them' actually mean they use be-lov-ed as a noun and be-loved otherwise #and some of the people saying 'always 2 syllables' probably have exceptions that they weren't thinking of at the moment #in particular 'dearly beloved' #and i'm very curious to know if 3-syllable people still use 3 syllables in the construction 'he was beloved by all' #so i think people's answers might change when given a list of more detailed options #fun with pronunciation #prosody #my posts #also i stressed for so long about what to call beloved in the 'x is beloved by y' construction #but settled on verb participle because i think it's fairly descriptive and accurate #so hopefully that's not too confusing? like it is a verb participle but for a verb that doesn't exist anymore (other than the participle)? #and even in 'my beloved x' beloved is a verb participle being used as an adjective if you're thinking more etymologically #but a lot of people were distinguishing 'be-loved as a verb' from other forms and i assume what they meant by that was 'x is beloved'

so about a year ago I started binding the Annihilation script with shimmery covers - and then life happened.

with the news of Absolution and the new blue and purple cover art? I had to go back.

Okay I know this kind of AU is super common for video game characters, but you're the only person I know who produces that Good Kush content for Yandere!Zagreus: falling in love with the player.

A Zagreus who becomes self-aware as to his role as a protagonist and can feel your decisions being the shadow over his own. Instead of feeling frustrated or existential, he's filled with an overflowing amount of joy. You care! You're trying so hard to help him fulfill his goal! Every time you pick the game back up he becomes more and more infatuated, trying to figure out more about you from the way you play. You've been picking the bow a lot lately and using Eurydice's keepsake, which means you're trying to avoid damage, which means you don't want to see him hurt! You've been taking boons from Aphrodite, surely that must be you trying to signal your blooming interest? And when you spend hours bingeing the game it HAS to mean he's more important to you than whatever it is your world holds.

Once you've fully beaten the game is where he starts to get desperate. There's still a side quest or two, but he needs you to know he "returns your affection" before you put down the game indefinitely. So he starts to manipulate his code in little ways. Prompts to gift nectar disappear, except weirdly enough next to Zagreus' bed? When you press the prompt out of curiosity, he's elated. He can't invent script, but he cobbles together words out of his bank of voiced lines. Words of thanks, words of praise. Words that are meant to go to Meg and Thanatos are mixed together to say you're dear to him, that he'll wait for you as long as it takes.

The next time you reach the surface, you lose control of his character model completely. He starts running around the edges of the screen, trying to smash the scenery. You can't hear what he's saying, he's too lost in his desperation to try and sew together the words he's looking for. Surely if he can get beyond this screen, you'll be on the other side? If he can just push a little farther, if he can just use a little more of the beautiful strength you've cultivated just for him, you two can finally be together, right? It HAS to work. He HAS to be able to meet you properly. His SOULMATE wouldn't exist unless there was a happily ever after!

...and if he can't get out, well, perhaps there's a way to bring you in?

(Oh geez this is way longer than I meant it to be, sorry. I'm a big fan of your writing! Keep up the good work!)

I feel so bad for never getting the motivation to write smth for this idea - it's so good and I love self aware aus! But this is written so marvelously, I didn't want to just delete it, so I hope that's okay!

Once again, sorry this is late, but I really appreciate you sending it in and your kind words! You're a very talented writer yourself considering what you posted here! ^^ 💚

A lot of the more 'drastic' effects that I got within the first few months of HRT have mostly subsided.

But one thing that seems to be 'staying' is that I can giggle myself into a laughing-fit the likes of which I and my friends have never seen. "Are you laughing or crying?" is a phrase I hear at least once a week, and which goes unanswered for a good several minutes before I'm able to regain my composure (the answer typically being 'both' by that point).

Being happy is cool :>

#sketch #cel (wyvy) #hrt #trans #transgender #laughing #Also to be extra clear this IS uncontrollable laughing #NOT uncontrollable sobbing #(though that does happen very occasionally too) #which I'm also happy about I was never able to cry like barely at all pre-hrt #actually taking a moment to let myself cry feels amazing #The particular instance this sketch is referencing I don't even remember what the joke was #but my friends were genuinely confused about what I was laughing at because nobody else even registered it as a 'joke' #(a common experience in VCs I'm in) #if that tells you anything about my sense of humour #Not my fault that my friends are absolute gods of comedy without even trying

Ok now that I'm normal for a while, I actually have thoughts about Mangey's little arc of learning to fly compared to Nine, and I think they should've had it switched tbh.

Like logically, it would've made more sense if Mangey already knew how to fly? First things first, bro lives in the trees, in the jungle. Being able to fly would be a major survival advantage, not to mention he would most likely discover it while happy stimming you know? Wagging his tails after successfully finding food for himself that no one stole from him? Or even before that when their group wasn't split to Thorn and the scavengers?

Meanwhile Nine would only not exactly make sense to be able to fly, there's nothing to be happy about in his life. Maybe he could learn to fly while trying to run away from.his bullies at one point, but I doubt he would've gone far either way with the complete siege the Council had over the streets and skies. Which only left the underground as the safest place where flying wouldn't exactly be needed, thanks to the trains and closed off spaces.

Or maybe he could know, with the aforementioned desire to be able to get away as fast as possible from any unfavorable situation, but be far too weak to be substantial in any way for longer than a feew seconds. He want to hide and blend in as much as possible, not call attention to having a mutation that not only makes him look weird, but also allows him to fly. Granted there's something about him being able to mask it after creating his metal tails, and saying it's those that he's using but again, why would he now choose to fly away when looking threatening and standing his ground has a more long term effects

#Sonic prime #While I don't want to take away the little screen time and thought Mangey had #you may curse my Nine centric brain but I think this particular instance should've been about him #just imagine how much more impact it would've had if Sonic taught Nine how to fly #and how he would've struggled with it #how would the third season go #would he fly just out of spite or would he not until he absolutely had to #miles nine prower #nine the fox #mangey the fox #mangey tails #silly brainworms

Thought I'm having. The whole point of all of the shit that goes down in Redding Weddy is that Alison and Mike are trying to clear out the garden to make the house wedding ready for when Claire comes to see it, and it is like. A main reason she chooses it as her wedding venue. But then when the wedding actually goes down later in the season it is the dead of fucking winter like there is no way any of them were going outside. There was no way they fucking expected to set up anything out there in that weather. Like they knew what was coming. All of them knew it was a winter wedding. AND THEN THEY NEVER DID WEDDINGS THERE AGAIN. So there was absolutely no reason for the garden to be cleared. Which means Mike and Alison spent all episode doing all that work, almost got blown up by a fucking land mine, and Cap was forced to relive his fucking heartbreak all episode. For no reason. Like. At all.

#to be fair that tends to be a common gag in the show. they do a bunch of work and then it turns out to have been for nothing #but this particular instance is fucking egregious lmao #mike and alison take so many fucking Ls in this show they truly deserve a break #bbc ghosts
