Congratulations to Dungeon Meshi on the first episode of the animation adaptation!

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #marcille donato #senshi #chilchuck tims #I have been getting into a lot of dungeon related media recently and what better way to celebrate this by cheering on Dungeon Meshi #Which is about to start airing it's first season! #I have a few friends who are deep in the Dungeon Meshi caverns and I am so excited to surprise them with this art #The group chats are already blowing up with people drawing and now I can join in! Yippee! #My favourite character wont appear in this season but that is okay. I am so fond of them all B*) #It really is a very special and dear story that I am happy to see get more love and exposure. #Not sure what the overlap is for mdzs and dungeon meshi but I must do my dues to spread the word. #I'll work on figuring out how to draw these silly adventurers better and return with more art at the end of the season.

i actually think that with enough pressure and organizing we can publicly shame people into understanding that recording strangers in public without their consent or giving blow-by-blow retellings of strangers conversations for internet clout and giving enough information that they can be identified is socially unacceptable and has consequences for the poster

#like first of all do you not have a group chat where you can send juicy stories you overheard #literally anything that doesn’t involve the potential of someone being doxxed

In discussions about the finale of Black Sails, one of the things I often see is folks hard-focusing on Flint's fate, in an either-or binary fashion, usually presented as "Which do you believe-- that Silver killed him? or sent him to the plantation?"

Now, for posterity's sake, gonna mention a few things-- first off, that's simply not thinking broadly enough. There are farrrr more than two options here and I've come up with my share of the reallyyyyy bad ones for sure. Whatever your mind chooses, none of those are happy endings anyway, there are bittersweet, bad, and worse endings all the way down. (They are paused, they are in a time loop, and also all endings and no endings are happening simultaneously)

But also, the more cogent point is that, it doesn't actually matter what happened *to Flint* The story is... not actually about him at that point. We have transitioned from Flint as protag to Silver as protag, setting up for (the fanfiction that Black Sails has ended up making of, ugh, king shit) Treasure Island.

And so, I just, don't find it to be of particular interest exploring what we think Flint is actually doing or if he's alive for real. What is EXTREMELY interesting to explore though is how Silver's speech at the end to Madi is sort of giving Thomas back to Flint as a pacifier/comfort object, but how... Silver is giving Flint that thing in his own mind as his own type of pacifier/comfort object.

That's the REALLY chewy bit. What actually happens to Flint is not the purpose of that scene for me, of Silver's recounting of events to Madi. It's more about... projection. It's about how Silver is dealing with whatever happened to Flint/whatever he did.

And I just feel like it's missing the point to focus so hard on if Flint is alive or not.

He is the ghost of the story regardless, that's what's important. He's going to haunt the narrative for the rest of everyone's lives. No one has been untouched or unscarred by coming into contact with Captain Flint; he has a forever legacy. I'm not the first to call him this, but he's Schrödinger's Flint and he's staying that way.

But this?

"No. I did not kill Captain Flint. I unmade him. The man you know could never let go of his war. For if he were to exclude it from himself, he would not be able to understand himself. So I had to return him to an earlier state of being. One in which he could function without the war. Without the violence. Without us. Captain Flint was born out of great tragedy. I found a way to reach into the past... and undo it. There is a place near Savannah... where men unjustly imprisoned in England are sent in secret. An internment far more humane, but no less secure. Men who enter these gates never leave them. To the rest of the world, they simply cease to be. He resisted... at first. But then I told him what else I had heard about this place. I was told prominent families amongst London society made use of it. I was told the governor in Carolina made use of it. So I sent a man to find out if they'd used it to hide away one particular prisoner. He returned with news. Thomas Hamilton was there. He disbelieved me. He continued to resist. And corralling him took great effort. But the closer we got to Savannah, his resistance began to diminish. I couldn't say why. I wasn't expecting it. Perhaps he'd finally reached the limits of his physical ability to fight. Or perhaps as the promise of seeing Thomas got closer... he grew more comfortable letting go of this man he created in response to his loss. The man whose mind I had come to know so well... whose mind I'd in some ways incorporated into my own. It was a strange experience to see something from it... so unexpected. I choose to believe it... because it wasn't the man I had come to know at all... but one who existed beforehand... waking from a long... and terrible nightmare. Reorienting to the daylight... and the world as it existed before he first closed his eyes... letting the memory of the nightmare fade away. You may think what you want of me. I will draw comfort in the knowledge that you're alive to think it. But I'm not the villain you fear I am. I'm not him."

This is the speech of a man who is self-soothing, who is spinning himself a tale, who is projecting, who is coping.

and THAT is just, way chewier, innit?

#Now that's just from a canon point of view #once we start to delve into like fan fiction #Because fic must necessarily change the story and change canon because it's creating something new #so of course then figuring out what you want to do with flint post canon is necessary #but for me fanfiction is a different realm than canon only based meta conversations about the show #black sails meta #long post #black sails #john silver #james flint #thoughts #black sails spoilers #I was coaxed into writing my group chat meta into a post by the Committee mwah

" It's strangely beautiful, isn't it?"

" H-Huh?"

" The snow, Impulse. You've been watching it for the past hour."

" I... I Guess it is, Pearl. Uh, s-sorry, what were we talking about before?"

" We were talking about building the rest of the rooms for the other hermits.... We were also talking about you needing to take a break."

" A break? Pearl I don't need a break. I need-"

" To find them, I know."

....

" Pearl?"

" Yeah?"

" Do you think that we'll ever see the sun again?"

" I'd like to hope so, Impulse.... Now come on, let's get you some soup and send you to bed. Gem, Scar, and I can handle the building from here."

" W-What about the farms?"

" Etho's handling that as we speak."

" Thanks.... Thanks Pearl..."

" You're welcome, Impulse."

Does anyone else think it’s fascinating how nicknames develop? Like sometimes a nickname is a logical shortening of a name, sometimes it’s a different part of their name, like a last name or a middle name, and sometimes it’s completely random, manifesting out of a series of twisting inside jokes and memories that is impossible to explain and you’re just like, “Oh yeah, that’s our friend, The Ball, don’t mind him.”

#shower thoughts #well it was a shower thought that I kept thinking about #I could not for the life of me think of a random nickname for a real human I know though #so maybe this is just a product of too much media consumption #I personally only have a family nickname that’s my name shortened that most people don’t call me #so maybe that’s why I think nicknames are so interesting #all I could think of murph as a nickname versus the ball as a nickname #this probably also manifesting from rewatching 911 #and being so curious about Chimney and why he’s called that #fantasy high #dimension 20 #d20 #riz gukgak #brian murphy #I do have a friend that does by Morple in a chat but we never call her that and also I don’t really know the story behind it #do people have friends or are the friend with a weird friend group nickname??? #inquiring minds want to know #nicknames #nickname #it’s symbolic of a deep and loving and long-lasting friendship to have a weird random nickname okay? #I secretly want one

I'm not including a situation where someone might be injured because in that case I'm thinking the bed goes to them by default or they are nominated for it. anyone who wants to be chatty goes to join the living room floor gang.

What are your thoughts and headcanons? Do you have thoughts on how the boys tend to approach assigning beds in inns? Who do the chain choose to sleep near when camping and why? What are their dynamics like when settling down for the night and getting ready for the day?

In "Mirror Vs Open Closet Door: Fight!" by Gintrinsic (here) Four refers to the chain's decision on how to split up between inn rooms as the "Link-per-room ratio" which I find very funny. He, Sky, and Time also talk about their thought process behind why they do or don't want to sleep in a room with some of the others which I find fun and interesting.

So! If you have thoughts and want to share them! *gestures to the post!*

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #alrighty! now for my answers- #for the ranch question I think it varies which is why I'm asking in a poll. What do you think happens most often though? #each answer is a fun scenario so it's difficult to choose #but I think they'd try to act politely around Malon and Time for the first couple visits with straws or rock paper scissors #or showing generosity by offering the bed to someone else. (I bet Malon saying they're charming is quite the incentive #for more possible compliments. The chain as a whole would want to prove her right xD ) #Once they're more comfortable in the house though I can totally see Wind and Legend making a mad dash for it while Wars yells after them xD #Wind probably ends up sharing with Four a lot since they're the littles #or Wind snuggles in with Wars Legend Wild etc #Wild and Twi/Wolfie have claimed the spot on the floor by the fireplace. #For inn rooms / castle rooms / camping - I tend to group them by how they're grouped a lot already #but a lil mixed up #Time - Sky - Wars are the good rest trio. they want a good night's rest please let them get their beauty sleep. often joined by Four #Wars goes between this group and wherever Legend is depending on how chatty he is that night. #Twi - Wild - Hyrule are snuggle/proximity buddies #Legend is attached to Hyrule's hip or sets up near Warriors to gossip and gripe. I can also see him setting up near Wild #in the eye of the storm as it were or just an interesting place to be. Wild and Hyrule can get to chatting about everything and anything #so if Legend wants background noise (Hyrule and Wild podcast omg)- #or a conversation he can be half a part of and jump in and out of while getting ready for the night or in the mornings- #this is a good place to be. add Wind and things get a bit more chaotic. #Wind gravitates to Wars and Legend too when curious and chatty. He gravitates towards Time when he wants something calmer. #Four tends to be near Sky or Twi or to Legend's group for the same reasons #I can see Four and Twi having a little book club going during downtimes where they talk about what they're reading. Sky likes to listen. <3 #Wind thinks they're nerds but so is he and he can't resist a good story so he orbits and sometimes settles in and peppers questions. #it's funny that Time Sky and Wars want to sleep the most but Legend follows Wars to chat (and ends up bringing people with him xD ) #there could be some conflict there oooo #Twi is by Time #it's almost a circle but with clusters of sleeping bags near on top of each other and filling the gaps

Martha put up with a lot of shit from the Doctor and has learnt to forgive him, move on, and heal so she gets to have her own life with gratitude because she knows that she wouldn't have gotten all the chances she's had without him.

Even so, when she sees 14 walking down the street chatting with Donna (who is obviously present!Donna) she fucking decks him for not telling him that it was OK to contact her bestie again.

#doctor who #martha jones #donna noble #14th doctor #martha jones deserved better #Martha and Donna friendship #she instantly forgives Donna because she obviously had a lot going on and to catch up on #the Doctor though could've messaged the group chat in like five seconds #Donna and Martha go for coffee and leave the Doctor on the ground with no regrets #Donna thought something horrible had happened to Martha because the Doctor didn't mention her and is also really pissed #they finish off the night in a Cardiff nightclub with Jack getting really wasted and exchanging embarassing stories about the Doctor

I've always wondered if you happened to have a discord? If not have you ever considered making one?

i do have one! however i use it very sparingly because 1) new people (especially groups) scare me & 2) brain's been fucking weird for a hot minute and i barely talk to people i'm already friends with let alone strangers

#so i say this So Neutrally and Impersonally #please don't ask me to join your group chat lmao #i promise you i will appear Once and then ill never open it again bc ill get nervous and awkward and guilty #its too much stress! #Also dont ask to chat there same rules apply Sorry Sorry #like... the Only exception is if we've already been chatting but that very rarely happens bc #again! my brain's fucked and i have the mental constitution of a wet cat! #rambles from the bog #i havent opened discord in. a while #when life gets stressful enough i just Shut Down and huddle into a proverbial corner with a blanket over my head #there are like. two people on discord i have / want to actively talk to #and one of em is an irl friend ahaha #so if you were thinking of sending me an invite or something: Thank You For Thinking Of Me! Please Don't. #i think... i think this generally extends to dms too #abrupt dms frighten me. so do random @s. apologies im a Very nervous person <3 #and then even when i Do chat over dms or somethin with someone i can see myself befriending #i often forget to reply for a while and then it gets to the point where its been so long and i feel so guilty #that i Cant Bring Myself To #sigh. anyway. long story short Yes i have a discord

[turrondeluxe]

#so if you ever see anyone thats saying to be me in any of those. THOSE ARE LIES!!! THATS NOT FERNANDO MIGUEL ÁNGEL SURNAME SURNAME #surprisingly ive already been impersonated in discord so huh. be wary of fake fernandos out there #like that one insta story of mads mikkelsen. that's not me....... #i would love to join one tho? #would love to join one thats less than 30 people and where everyone is older than 20 and not weirdos about the turtles at least 😔 #ooooough #crying. group chats are always fun but man...MAN......... #ask

Okay, random question but in the panel where Lan Zhan & Wei Ying are riding side by side, why is Alan Zhan’s horse sad? Is Little Apple bullying him? :(

PS: I check in daily for your posts, OBSESSED 😭

If i see one more person spread “news” sourced to outlets like f1-insider… please actually pay attention to sources and use critical thought about where it came from. these accounts want their engagement numbers and will share information derived from a fucking reddit comment if they think it’ll earn them a few extra dollars. there’s always an off chance these bullshit tabloids are right, but they almost never are, and a legitimate source will come along if there’s any whisper of truth to it. i just beg of people to simply wait for sources with the slightest bit of credibility to their name before they start sharing information.

#i want christian fired as much as the next person but i’m going to at least wait for an even remotely real source to hint at it first #also wanna clarify upfront #this isn’t an indirect. i haven’t even scrolled my dash today #i always fear a moot will read this and feel called out when its not about them. this is just my entire twitter timeline lol #so it’s a frustration derived from there #drives me up a fucking wall. critical thought is in the toilet. #misinformation is dangerous #and it takes like 40 replies before a single person points out the source #and then theyll be like ‘could be fake but what if its true 🤯’ #like oh my goooooood yeah what IF its true? thatd be crazy. but it’s almost certainly not #so why are you wasting time sitting around sharing stories that some person just invented to get clicks? #if it IS true then a real publication with legit sources and verification methods will post it #at least wait for that bare minimum #keep information from bullshit places like f1-insider to gossip in a group chat if you wanna discuss it #*

All the tour groups in Springfield should be very proud of me for how well I refrained from sharing all my fascinating Lincoln facts.

#there were so many school groups! #a giant one came in RIGHT AFTER i entered lincoln's cabinet room #part of me was screaming 'children i NEED to tell you about all these idiots and their insane drama!' #a smarter part of me understood that would be super weird #so instead i regaled different individuals of my own traveling party after we had the room to ourselves #then at lincoln's tomb we lucked out in getting there during the ten minutes of the day when school groups weren't there #which meant we got a personal tour from a guide who seemed thrilled to have grown-ups to talk to #he and my dad chatted about fishing for a long while in the entry #it didn't feel disrespectful because it totally felt like the kind of conversation lincoln would have understood and joined in on #and then we went on our way but the guide then chased us down to share all the fascinating lincoln stories as we went along #(shout-out to lefty you were great) #and then a school group found us so we made a graceful exit #but outside a teacher was explaining to a different group about how robert was significant in his own right so he's buried at arlington #and the RESTRAINT i showed in not immediately informing them that he was present at three presidential assassinations! it was rather heroic #and then when we toured lincoln's house the guide (who accidentally made it clear he was a revolutionary war buff) #(which made it a bit hilarious he was stuck with lincoln) #asked for questions before we started and someone asked about lincoln's 1860 election campaign! #aka one of my SPECIAL NICHE AREAS OF OBSESSION! #you cannot imagine how desperately i wanted to tell him ALL ABOUT seward and thurlow weed #anyway it was fun to go back now that i actually know stuff about lincoln #but it was also a bit frustrating because now i know how much they leave out #(though there was cool new info and artifacts) #(the blood-stained piece of laura keene's dress was very morbid and very cool) #also it reminded me that i still have that book on the 1860 election i've yet to read and the hype is so real #presidential talk
