It's been almost a decade since the first issue of Ms Marvel came out. I've gotten so much older and Kamala is still 16. That's so strange

#I know superheroes don't age #But that's a character who was the same age as me when she debuted #So I'm always surprised to remember that she hasn't grown up along with me #I love Kamala Khan sm she was MY superhero #She still is but she's still in high school and I'm not. It shouldn't be strange but it is

The first Splatoon game turned 8 yesterday!

#the last (and first) time i drew anniversary art for the first game was when it turned 1 year #imna use the tags to be all sappy real quick: #ive been a huge fan of the splatoon series since the first game & have played it since day one #splatoon is the first time ive grown up with a game series from the beginning #like i knew it was gonna be a successful game that'd eventually grow and become a series w/ a cool fanbase #for first/third person shooter games (esp multiplayer)- i could never call myself a fan of those #but the moment splatoon debuted in an e3 trailer??? it took a concept i'd normally go meh to- but made it into smthn colorful/unique #like??? weeks after the announcement i was already gushing over what the lore would be in their universe #it got really tiring seeing all the hate it received- id watch ppl stream it out of interest and their chat'd be like uggh this ass title? #or id watch gamers do one single lets play of it and be like oh ok i can see how this game is fun (me assuming they'd doubt it's potential) #but to see how much splatoon as a series has grown has me kinda emotional ngl #like yeah sure theres still ppl outside the fandom who has (or still has since the 1st game) sour opinions about it #but ever since the fandom grew over those 8 years- it feels like the love for this series outshines that #but man.... i said this already on twt but i remember going to my first color run event locally w/ my family #(this happened weeks before the game came out btw) -but id have my phone out with the inklings on my screen #and id look at my phone & feel this happiness (that i havent felt in a while tbh) at being in an event that had a lot of colors in it #and at the time seeing all the powdered colors flying everywhere at the end of the race reminded me of splatoon sm i was like raaaaah #WOW SORRY FOR THE LONG TAGS LOL #BUT YEAH- I LOVE THIS SERIES (thats all i wanted to say) #splatoon #splatoon anniversary #splatoon 8th anniversary #fanart #loafbud

What do you imagine weddings in the nine houses are like? Do you think they still wear white or abide by any more traditional pre-resurrection customs? Since Jod drew so much inspiration from both Rome and Catholicism (Catholic wedding doctrine is based on the ideas of free will marriage that were tradition in ancient Rome) I think it's likely but there has to be some insane necromancy element too. Maybe a riff on the eucharist from wedding masses? Also, how do you think it varies from house to house? You always have really fun and creative ideas about the world, so I thought I'd ask your opinion about one of my favorite random headcanons to think about. (P.S. I hope the eras concert was fun!!)

Oh gosh, first of all, that is incredibly flattering lol. Second... I actually hadn't given this just a ton of thought before getting this, so it's been fun to thing about!

I think they probably resemble Christian/Catholic wedding ceremonies enough to be recognizable as such, but I would love it if they were like, the funhouse mirror version of that. I LOVE the idea of the Eucharist being involved prominently, but maybe even at a more symbolic level? Like we could obviously tie that to the whole "consume the flesh" thing, but I just feel like Tamsyn could come up with a really cool play on that concept that would never even occur to me lol.

I kind of doubt they wear white; I don't really have a good rationale for this other than vibes. Just thinking about how we see a decent range of aesthetics across the clothing of the Houses, especially in color, it would track that they have differing customs for wedding/ceremonial attire as well. Like, I can't really imagine that the Sixth whole gray librarian thing translates into formalwear the same way that say, the Third does (although using the Third as an example feels like cheating, because I suspect they go over the top for EVERYTHING so no one was gonna be doing it like them anyway lmao).

As an aside, I'm pausing for a moment to push one of my most indulgent AtN bingo card items, which is Harrow wearing white. I know the Lyctor robes are like, iridescent white, but I mean purely white. With Alecto getting so much imagery around light, and how Harrow describes her in the Tomb as wearing wearing "a white shift", it could be a cool parallel. Oh also, now that I think about it, the whole thing about Harrow being a nun, i.e., "betrothed to the Locked Tomb". Plus like, there's something there about the way it would be close to but not exactly like the iridescent white of the Lyctor robes, like, John was trying to emulate that and could only achieve a flashy approximation. And something something Harrow setting aside the black of the Ninth something mumble. But mostly, I'm heart eyes over more wedding/marriage imagery for her and Gideon 🥰 (Idk what to make of that in contrast to the white that the Tower Princes wear, but it's entirely hypothetical at this point, which means that I can ignore anything that doesn't fit my agenda.)

On my last reread, one of the little details that I was actually really taken by was that Magnus is noted to be wearing a wedding ring. So that tradition still stands, at least for the Fifth, and I absolutely melted over it.

I would kind of assume the vibe of a wedding ceremony varies from House to House, maybe along the lines of what we know about the cultures of each and what they tend to emphasize. If that's the case, I would LOVE to see a Seventh wedding; I bet it's gorgeous and deliciously fucked up. I'm really really curious about the wedding that Tamsyn has mentioned being in AtN, especially because she mentioned party dresses, and you know how I love putting blorbos in outfits. I suspect that her saying that is a bit of a red herring... Like if I'm giving my best guess, there WILL be a wedding (an actual one, not just a symbolic Lyctorhood whatever wedding) BUT I don't it will be the focus. I could see it being used really neatly as backdrop for some heisty business, more of a plot device to get people all in one place or as a distraction. I'm not getting my hopes up to see the actual ceremony, I guess is what I'm saying. The real action might be happening in the next room over.

(and P.S. THANK YOU! It was AMAZING and honestly, probably the best night of my life and also I cried for basically the entire thing, I still cannot believe I was lucky enough to be there. I got to go with my best friends, who live quite far away from me and I hadn't seen since January, which made it that much more fun. We went to the second night, and we mostly stayed off our phones/away from any social media so that we could go in and be completely surprised without having seen anything about it, and I'm so glad we did! I wouldn't have held out if we were going to a different date lol.)

#me writing about weddings in the love-and-grief series: 😐 #me adding a post script about the Eras tour: 😭 #no joke though i did tear up a bit. which isn't surprising because i also get teary when i rewatch the videos i took lol #live music in general makes me really emotional but i also get really emotional about Taylor's music in particular #having grown up right along with her (i actually was at one of her first headlining shows in 2008 when only her debut was out) #and how her album releases have magically lined up with a lot of the big transitions in my own life #but anyway now i'm derailing in the tags lol #thank you for sending this! it was super fun to think about and i want to hear everyone else's thoughts! #also sorry i took so long to get to this - my brain has been fried #i still have a few more and i promise i will get to them!!!!! #tlt #my tlt thoughts #ask #anonymous

i just think it’s funny that people who think folkmore is storytelling genius and enjoy participating in the real vs. fiction debate are the same people who forget all the tswift fiction that came first. like she said mine was inspired by a dreamt-up version of a hypothetical future with someone she went on a couple dates with - which is a very taylor swift thing to do. anyway swifties know your ROOTS

#which is why i don’t understand people who say they were shocked that she made folkmore #like you’re telling me the teenager who made debut couldn’t have possibly grown up to make folklore and evermore????? you’re lying

Lyric parallels - A place in this world / You're on Your Own, Kid

#taylor swift #from debut to midnights #ngl I do think private jet every time I think ts #but YOYK is like the grown up reply to her sixteen-year-old self #and idk man it just does something to me #like you ARE on your own and you CAN face it #there WERE pages turned with the bridges burned and maybe everything you lost was a step in your journey #so that you could arrive so wondrously in this exquisite happenstance #You make those friendship bracelets girl!! #You don't need to be afraid!! #you're on your own kid but you faced it just fine #and along the way you found your place in this world #like #COME ON #she really did something with that #midnights #you're on your own kid #a place in this world

i hate that when i have such a passionate belief of an aro headcanon, i viscerally hate anything that insinuates otherwise. even if i force myself to tolerate it, i’m never going to be 100% okay with whatever contradicts it and it’s so hard to let go of that hate.

#shut up danni #i mean. my url probs speaks volumes lmao but in this case it's not that #im rewatching doctor who bc i need to get caught up again i've p much missed all of 13 except the beginning #so i decided that i'd start from clara to ease into 12 but i forgot that my mortal enemy river song is in that season finale rip #bc i v passionately believe that the doctor is generally aromantic #like there are a few exceptions to the rule like ten was deffo demiro #and i don't think i know anything about classic who to give my opinion on them but i might go back and watch them #i've been meaning to but i'm worried it'd be too different to what i'm used to and i won't like it #which is a shame bc i've grown up w doctor who i don't wanna dislike anything abt it #anyways back to my point - the doctor is deffo aro #and bc of that i hate river song w a passion and i don't like hating characters it makes me sad #maybe its because literally all of the episodes besides her debut episodes focus all on her #and why she's SO important and amazing #and SHE'S the only one worthy of marrying the doctor #urgh #if anything i think that sure she might be 12's wife but none of the others #look they can't have it both ways in that every doctor is the exact same in romantic/sexual orientation #but also say that every doctor is different and every incarnation is different in personality #anyways river song makes me sad and i wish she didn't exist but i hope that she stays forever gone #her last episode was a good ending for her and i hope i never see her again

I read someone say that they wondered whether BoA had any influence in having Aespa debut as adults since she has a senior leadership position now

#thinking out loud #kwon boa #aespa #i don't know much abt the group so i didn't know this but i think it's great #and it makes sense considering what boa went through!! #+ the difference between 20 and 16 is huge #i've been watching dream stuff and in their old stuff they were SO young ToT #this week there's been a lot of discussion on kp*p rdt about debuting minors #as a teen i too thought idols my own age was super cool and normal #but now that we're grown up we see how yikes it is bc most of us learn what a full time+ job entails as well as how far reaching fame can b

sorry to bring this up here but i need to let it out but WOW … i still get so surprised at how some people are so mean to ni-ki…… like this is a middle schooler doing middle schooler stuff to his friends…. some people really genuinely hate this 16 year old dude…. and some of these people sending dts are in their 20s too….. i get that he can come off as immature sometimes but…. idk i personally dont think anything he does is outright terrible that warrants such a strong reaction like that……

#a/ #dl #over things that he will grow out of.. #being sad and upset that minors debut but will treat them as full grown adults when they act immature (LIKE A MIDDLE SCHOOLER) towards #FRIENDS that he considers FAMILY… that he’s obviously comfortable with which is why he acts like he does #and when someone gets exposed for doing something like this in the past the defending argument will be ‘they were 16 it’s all in the past!’ #but now it’s different because why? even tho he’s also 16 also still so young also still growing up? #my goodness…..

All of the TS eras (minus speak now bc there were no purple items?) making these is really relaxing to me for some reason I used this uquiz

there’s only 6 days left until eras tour starts and i’m so excited but also so nervous 🫣

#i’m not going to the first show #but that is the night when we find out a lot of information regarding the tour #like setlists & costumes & if m&g is going to happen etc #i’m more nervous about the setlist than anything else #tbh i kinda hope m&g isn’t a thing this tour just to keep everyone safe and healthy #but the setlist is what actually matters to me #i’ve said this before #but i was raised on taylor and she released debut when i was just a few months old #i’ve grown up literally while she’s grown up artistically #she’s the one constant throughout my entire life #so her songs #ESPECIALLY her three earliest ones but definitely fearless #mean the world to me #and i’m not concerned but curious about how the setlist will go #either way we’re less than a week away from the start of eras tour and i am so excited!! #my queen 🐱🎵 #not kpop

cant sleep so decided to read a random romance i found and 😐

#i looked up the writer because the writing style and phrasing of things is very childish #and it’s a grown woman like #i genuinely was like this is the debut of a very VERY young writer #it is neither
