i had the strangest dream. i was reading filip baloลก's autobiography and then a flying snake kept biting me. i poured salt into its eyes but the eyes did not close. it was rather unsettling. my brother was there and taking pictures of me. then i was taken to this sort of. technology convention. and my friend was there. she got a tumblr account and i instantly blocked her on it (i see that even dream-crispin has some sense!). then we were both on a speedboat and my head was inside of my mother's schoolbag from when she was a child. (this part i was seeing from third person so. not exactly sure what was happening.)
Rudol Von Stroheim art!
Just something I felt like drawing, since Stroheim has been released for DLC for All Star Battle R around...4-5 days ago? Been playing as him since his release date!
Opinion on him? Actually super entertaining. HIs Japanese voice actor, Atsushi Imaruoka did a spectacular job with him! Still delivering that same energetic and wild Stroheim in this game!ย
His moveset? Oh the man has EVERYTHING. From grenades, to his iconic machine gun, to his UV lights. Which, the UV lights got a gauge going on and about, once you activate it, youโre pretty much unstoppable. Then you got his HHA and GHA, they are SO GOOD. His HHA has it where launches his hand at the enemy, then fires away with his machine gun! Then his GHA, oooooh....okay so he attacks with his UV lights, then machine guns you, then uses his own mechanical hand to hold a grenade firing it at the enemy, and his hand returns back to Stroheim. Itโs so cool??? Never get tired of seeing his GHA, I could watch that all day LOL.ย
His animations...when you win a round, you either get his HAM laughter, or him talking aboutย โWhat child fear a grizzly at a cage in a zoo? None at all!โ, kills me everytime man haha.ย
His victory poses are mostly like Eyes of Heaven, but some of the quotes are new to me I think..? Like in ASBR, he goesย โYes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YEEEEEEEEEEES!โ very loudly itโs just so humorous to me I cannot-
Give his voice actor an Oscar.
Give him appreciation for voice acting the German mad lad, itโs crazy.
Give him HUGS.
Give him THANKS.ย
Oh letโs talk about his backwards walking animation, the dude is SO SASSY WHAT THE HECK- how can a serious, maniacal leader just deliver this much sass itโs beyond me--
And even his taunts, got the iconicย โYOU UTTER FOOL!โ, like you cannot hate on that hehe.
HIs interactions with certain characters are pretty good, like with Joseph, Kars, Old Joseph, Speedwagon, and Risotto? Risotto was a strange choice to choose as an interaction but honestly, I vibe anyway lol. Surprised Stroheim didnโt interact with Lisa Lisa, since I think there was one scene in Part 2 where Joseph and gang are arriving to Switzerland and Stroheim is behind them likeย โhey thanks for finding the Red Stone for me, letโs work together okay?โ, and Lisa Lisa is like,ย โWhy do the Germans want the Red Stone?โ or something like that.
But ya know what, it is what it is and I wonโt complain about that, all good!
Oh and his different throws are so epic, normal mode is just like him going all bend mode with his arm and his UV lights mode he just fires his laser, very good...very nice touch!
To be fair, Stroheim has always been my favorite JoJo character and the first JoJo character to enjoy upon getting into JoJo as a whole, so he means a whole lot to me.ย
...Have I been rambling for too long? Oops, haha...guess time to post, eh?
Enjoy! ;p
"Merry Christmas." She hands Patrick a stick. Tied with a bow. A cheeky grin across her lips. "Want me to throw it?"
@astremourante | Amelia ma'am--
---
It's a joke, obviously.
Well, even if she did mean it, she couldn't be serious about it. There's no seriousness one could apply to gifting someone a stick as a continued not-so-elaborate joke at his expense.
She couldn't possibly, genuinely be asking him if he wanted her to throw the stick just so he could, what, fetch it for her?
Fenrir nearly a thousand years ago might have mauled her for the suggestion or entertained her for a far too costly price.
Patrick barely has the energy left sigh at her. She can't possibly expect him to muster up what it takes to play with her, as adorable as the idea sounds if you regard it from very, very far away.
Truth is, he likes her. He's quick to grow fond of someone, no matter how aggressively he combats any and all attempt at emotion in this context.
He likes her wit and the guts she has to pull through with things like these. Maybe he simply and genuinely thinks she's cute, the way one might call a puppy cute or a particularly mischievous kitten, which he assumes suits her better.
Otherwise, he would have put an end to this ages ago.
Not to mention that, even though it's a joke and the gift is awful, the idea he was thought of at least at one point in relation to her Christmas does smooth any frown lines he might have felt intent on showing.
He takes the stick.
"No, thank you," he can't help the disbelieving smile this time. Why does he keep getting himself...
"Merry Christmas," he plucks something out of the pocket of his coat: a cute key-chain with the face of a comically angry dog on it, holding a stick between its cartoonish jaws.
"If you ever miss getting to throw me a stick, here, imagine you did in spirit," and it's a jest on his part too, how else should he approach this otherwise.
Only with the touch of gentleness in his smile? No, better to add something silly.
some of stroheim jjbas first appearances are him sacrificing a cage full of innocent people to santana (after going "we need a volunteer. thank you, we appreciate the brave here. you shall live. the rest of you get juiced") and him harassing a woman and hes consistently portrayed as a pretty batshit guy but yeah sure he was glorified because he helped beat the big bad evil guy who would have wiped out all life on earth if left unchecked
Sorry for being not active this month as I had some health problems. I'll start posting weekly now :) Meanwhile here's some good from last month
1. Widow donates $1 billion to medical school, giving free tuition forever
Ruth Gottesman surprised by her late husband's $1 billion in Berkshire stock, decides to donate it in full to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York City's poorest borough. The donation is intended to cover students' tuition indefinitely, ensuring access to medical education for generations.
A video capturing students' emotional reactions to the news, cheering and crying, circulated after the announcement, highlighting the profound impact of the donation on the medical school community.
2. Electric school buses outperform diesel in extreme cold
In Colorado's West Grand School District, electric school buses outperformed their diesel counterparts, particularly in the bitterly cold temperatures of towns like Kremmling, where morning temperatures can drop below -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite common concerns about reduced range in extreme weather, the electric buses maintained their battery charge even in these frigid conditions, providing reliable transportation for students.
This success has been welcomed by the school district, as diesel vehicles also face challenges in starting in Colorado's harsh winter weather.
3. Christian Bale unveils plans to build 12 foster homes in California
Christian Bale has led a tour round the new village in California where he plans to build 12 foster homes, as well as two studio flats to help children transition into independent living, and a 7,000 sq ft community centre.
The actor has spearheaded the building of a unique complex of facilities with the aim of keeping siblings in the foster care system together, and ideally under the same roof.
4. Average lifespan of a person with Down syndrome has increased from 25 years in 1983 to 60 years today
Today the average lifespan of a person with Down syndrome is approximately 60 years.
As recently as 1983, the average lifespan of a person with Down syndrome was 25 years. The dramatic increase to 60 years is largely due to the end of the inhumane practice of institutionalizing people with Down syndrome.
5. Greece legalises same-sex marriage
Greece has become the first Christian Orthodox-majority country to legalise same-sex marriage. Same-sex couples will now also be legally allowed to adopt children after Thursday's 176-76 vote in parliament.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the new law would "boldly abolish a serious inequality".
6. Massachusetts police K9 tracks scent for over 2 miles to find missing 12-year-old in freezing cold
A Massachusetts police K9 followed her nose to help find a 12-year-old who went missing in frigid temperatures last week, tracking the childโs scent for over two miles, authorities said.
K9 Biza, a female German shepherd, was called on to help after officers learned the child left their home at around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and was last seen in the Pakachoag Hill area of Auburn, the Auburn Police Department said.
7. Good News for the Socially Anxious: People Like You a Lot More Than You Think They Do, New Research Confirms
The "Lake Wobegon effect" or "illusory superiority" phenomenon highlights people's tendency to overestimate their abilities, but recent research suggests that in social interactions, individuals often underestimate their likability and charm.
Studies indicate that people consistently fail to recognize signals of others' liking toward them, leading to a "liking gap" where individuals believe they are less likable than they actually are.
Techniques such as focusing more on others during conversations and genuinely expressing interest in them can help alleviate social anxiety by shifting the focus away from self-criticism. Ultimately, understanding that others may also experience similar anxieties can lead to a more relaxed and enjoyable social experience.

A/N: I hold Snow White close to my heart. However, as much as I adore the animated version, I find the book more interesting. So this is based on German fairy tale or folk tale, [Snow White] written byย the Brothers Grimm (Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm and Wilhelm Karl Grimm). Snow White is AGED UP!
๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ who thinks of you as her first, last and only love. She, just like most women her age, believes in soulmates. It's just so...romantic.
It happens that in her opinion, you're the one. Since the moment she lays her doe like eyes on you, she just knows that your souls are tied and destined to be one.
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ fantasies about you. A lot. At first, those are innocent fantasies. Scenarios about you running around each other, playfully starting your courtship. Then your feelings shall grow deeper, the roots growing deep into your heart and so your courtship becomes more prominent and serious. Those playful touches become more affectionate. Holding a deeper meaning and reaching down into your essence of being. Then, you'll propose to her, in the most dreamy way one can imagine. Fret not, she'll (shout) say yes. Wedding preparations will follow soon after, then a grand, royal wedding itself and finally, you'll spend your first night together. Ah yes, the moment your bond will materialize in the form of a night full of passionate love making. The spiral goes on deep and each time ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ starts the imaginary movie roll over, her daydreams take a darker turn.ย
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ becomes very needy for your attention. She's just so touch starved to be noticed by her object of affection that she's just about to do something to make you see her as your potential wife. She'll dress up for you, looking like a princess that she is, otherwordly beautiful and charming; make sure to sing when she knows you're near acting like a siren who is ready to catch you in her net of love; showing off her many talents especially those she knows will catch your attention and let her start a conversation with you. And every time you do talk, it's like the whole world disappears, leaving only you. You find it a little concerning with how much ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ sighs and flutters her long eyelashes. Sometimes you wonder if she even pays attention to what your saying (or worse, that you bore her), since she seems to be stuck in her head. And her eyes seemed to have that strange glint that appears only when she looks at youโฆ
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ starts being interested in witchcraft. It is an unexpected turn but I feel like she searched for something deeper. Knowing that your soulmates (it's her opinion) just isn't enough. She must be sure. A way to truly bind you together. Soโฆuhโฆlike mother, like (step) daughter?
Don't get me started on what she writes in her diariesโฆ
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ง who commands you to be her lover. Simple as that. She doesn't wait, nor ask for your opinion in that matter. After the (not so) mysterious disappearance of her husband โ the King and Snow's White father โ she'll have absolute power in the Queendom. And since she's the Queen and the most entitled person around, you'll have to comply with her wishes. Otherwise, she won't hesitate to force you to via poisons and dark magic.
She'll force feed you all sorts of aphrodisiacs, make voodoo dolls either of you or someone from your surroundings and in the end reduce you to being her puppet. ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ง doesn't need you to think. Just look pretty (but not as her) and submit to her entirely. Be her best and most treasured accessory, hm?
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ง often uses a spying mirror to stalk you. Whenever she's not busy leading the Queendom or simply desires to see you, she'll sit in her lavish chambers and command her mirror to show you. She knows it can only tell her the truth and only the truth, so additionally she'll ask all sorts of questions about you. Are you loyal to her? Do you have a family she shuld take care of? Do you have feelings for someone? If she finds out that you do have and it's not for her, the very next day a public execution is made for your crush.ย
You're not safe from her wrath and mood swings either. Like mentioned before, ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ง isn't afraid to punish those who are against her in any way. She won't kill you but your punishments will be severe. Whipping and isolation are her way to go. Scars shall be your reminder to not cross her and loneliness borderlining to madness will thrust you right in her arms. Just like she didn't hesitate to assassinate Snow White, she'll make sure you understand your place and take your role as her lover seriously.ย
She's all you need now and in the future. Your family, close friends and anyone you had connection with were taken care of. You're her loyal subject, made to worship her and serve her by giving her your never ending supply of love and affection.
She'll make you see that.
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ง who is your devoted worshiper. He sees you as some sort of higher being, who graced this dirty Earth with your pure presence. Who has graced him and his hard life with a drop of your soothing presence. The moment you showed him some kindness, even unintentionally, he's ready to carve his heart out of his chest and be at your every beck and call.
Although he is no knight by no means, definitely lacking those virtues, he's skilled within his field of work. It means that whoever dares to bother you (even if they don't) or worse, taint you (start courting you) is automatically a threat he needs to eliminate. Just like ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ง does to his prey, he'll haunt them deep in the great forest by shooting arrows at their running form. But unlike his usual ethics to make it as painless as possible to the animals, heโll deliberately make sure to make this person suffer as much as possible. He's ruthless.ย
Don't be surprised when you'll find some โgiftsโ from him. He's a man of a few words, not a drop of romance and hardened by life. Plus his yandere tendencies. So ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ง gifts tend to beโฆdisturbing. More often than not, you'll find already prepared quarries of his. You get furs, meat and even polished antlers/horns to hand in your chambers.ย
Of course, he'll remain anonymous through this whole time, because he doesn't feel worthy enough to officially make contact with you.ย
In the dark of the night, when he lays in his cot, he'll pray to you. That you'll allow him, a sinner, to be by your side. He doesn't dare (but secretly wishes) to be your lover, perhaps even your...husband? Whatever you'll pick, he'll agree on anything. He's that desperate for you.
One dayโฆone day he'll overcome his insecurities and will speak to youโฆ
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง who is a lovesick puppy, ready to marry you right then and there when his eyes fell on you for the first time. He's hopeless, really.ย
He's always there when you're out of the castle. Lurking just around the corner, ready to start luring you into coming with him. At first, ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง offers are subtle but slowly and surely, they become bold. From promises to give you safety, stable life to making you his Queen and offering to conquer the Queendom as a wedding gift from him to you. He doesn't understand why you wouldn't want to come with him. He's the crown prince, only heir to a prosperous kingdom and a future king, ready to shower you in gold, gifts and power before you could even think of it.
He's a gifted singer and poet. He'll use that to his advantage to catch your attention, especially when you're in the castle where ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง obviously can't go. If it's possible, he'll stop his horse just under your window, hop down and that's when the performance starts. He'll sing ballads about your beauty, recites all sorts of poetry also related to love, sometimes even pray for you to come and grace him with your presence. His words are easily pouring out of his mouth in abundance. They're all about how he deeply feels towards you or about you. And he sincerely hopes they'll trap your heart.
In the dark of the night, he'll look at the portrait of you he had commissioned shortly after meeting you. Of course it didn't do your justice at all but it was just to pass the time until he'll have the real you by his side. He'll sigh dreamily at the canvas, whispering words of pure adoration for you.
His patience is running thin and the wedding day is nearing so fast...!

๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐! ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ [platonic] who are fiercely overprotective of you. They are greedy and dangerous beings by nature. Theyโve killed before and they have no problem doing that again. Especially when some pathetic excuse of a pests seemed to be lurking around their hut, where they were keeping you locked in. There are seven of them, ripped with muscles because of a daily work in the mines and without any remorse in them. The opponent stands no chance.ย

On today's episode of Simps-R-Us: A Drunken Mind Speaks Sober Thoughts, or how your faves show their love after a night out.
cw: alcohol/alcohol consumption.
Capt. John Price - Will gently hold the sides of your face, bring your foreheads together, and peer into your eyes with his own hazy ones. Price tells you how happy you've made an old man like him, that he loves you, and that YOU and only YOU can wear his hat. Solidifies this by actually putting his hat on your head, scooping you up in his arms, and holding you close. And yes, you'll be sleeping like this with your face smothered in his chesticles.
Gaz - Walks into your shared place pretty much blabbering about how you just... "get him". You get his choices in horror films, you get his thinking process, you get his love language (pranking), you just GET HIM. And he doesn't want anyone else to get him and he'll fall out of another helicopter again before he lets someone else get him. ...How did he wind up under the living room table, though?
Alex Keller - The one who's leaning against the bedroom doorway just looking all dreamily and shit at you with his hair all kinds of messed up. Keller is practically crooning 'Boss' at you so you can look at him and he can blow you a kiss. Alex, please get the fuck in bed. He chuckles and shakes his head no 'cause he's too busy enjoying the view and doesn't wanna miss a thing. KELLER, PLEASEโ
Soap - (Based on this ask. Thanks for the inspiration, @cas-backwards-tie!) Soap loves you SOOOO much, so, so, so much, goddamnit, that he learned to say it. He learned the say the thing. Yeah... he didn't. It didn't even sound remotely like the thing but you can't tell him shit. Now give him a kiss for being a good boy. His kiss was nowhere near your lips, either. That'll do, Soap. That'll do.
Ghost - Is the clingiest koala bear on the fucking planet and it's adorable. How clingy, might you ask? Well, his arms are wrapped around you, he has your head tucked under his chin, and he's intertwined his legs with yours. You feel the throaty rumble of "Love you" from Simon's chest and it lulls you to sleep. And then you realize he still has his clothes on. Try to move and see how he tightens his grip ever so slightly. You chuckle and let him know he has to undress and to that, you hear and feel the soft grumble of his "Noooooo...." because don't go. Not when he just got you. This shit is one for the storybooks, though. Simon fucking Riley... WHINING?!
Alejandro - His hair is also mussed. Isn't as stern-looking. Actually has the goofiest, boyish grin on his face. Alejandro pretty much strokes your cheek and tells you verbatim that you make him a better man. Then he proceeds to cover your face in kisses, all while relishing in your giggles.
Rudy - The one who tripped over his own two feet trying to get to you, also missed the mark when trying to kiss you, and fell off the bed. Also falls asleep mid-sentence when trying to tell you he loves you.
Kรถnig - You actually woke up to hearing Kรถnig profess his love. Has a tendency to really enunciate Schatz in a somewhat singsong voice. Sings a lullaby in his native German. He tells you he loves you, and over and over again he confesses his love. Then you look up and see him actually cuddling the pillow tightly. Oh. Okay. How cute. You just sit and watch the entire thing. You know like hell Kรถnig will be mortified when you tell him this story.
Horangi - He'd already come home and settled down for the night. Then, as if he had an epiphany, Horangi sat up from his side of the bed, got all up in your face, and told you how he'd go through hell as a gambler over and over again just to be with you over and over and OVER again. That's so sweet, Horangi, now back to bed you go.
Graves - The one who'll serenade you (Graves can sing?), call out for his Darlin' repeatedly, burp, and tell you he loves you all while in the bathroom taking the longest piss known to man. Good to know, Graves.
Valeria - Actually came home a little pissed because some stupid fuck thought he could talk about how attractive he found you in front of her. Hopefully the broken jaw sent a clear message because she couldn't be bothered to do anything else. She ends her story with a "You're mine!" and plants a big, fat one on your lips. Oh, Valeria.
Roach - He's the one blowing your phone up with text messages and emojis showing his love. Then he reveals that he got lost and could you please come find him? Except he's already in the house. You find him in the dark, grinning like an idiot at the messages he sent you on his phone, and he's so happy that you found him!
Keegan - Is the one staring into your soul after he kissed your forehead so sweetly. You okay, Keegan? "Yes. No. ...Maybe? Baby, jus' let me love you."
