manga where a teenage girl is isekaied into a dostoevsky novel as the grizzled 20+ year old male protagonist but she isn't phased whatsoever because her special interest was 19th century russian literature

I’ve been on a Soulmates kick today and just saw a fic where Steve has two marks - one for Robin and one for Eddie. And it’s got me thinking.

Of course, he doesn’t know who his marks are for. He only knows that they’re two people because they look so different. Soulmarks show up where you and your soulmate will have the first skin-skin contact, and they have the words they will say when that happens written in their handwriting.

Steve has one covering his palm, the handwriting is small and sharp, all angles and no rounded edges. That one says “Steve, we need to run”. It seems scared, the wording, but he refuses to think about it. The other mark he has is covering his left hip, curling like someone was holding him from the side. This handwriting is completely different from the other one and is best described as chicken scratch. It’s big and messy, letters flowing into each other like the writer didn’t even pick up their pen between each stroke. That one says “I got you, just lean on me”. It seems less scared but there’s concern laced in the words that helps Steve feel less alone when he’s laying in bed late at night. That’s the only time he ever lets himself think about his soulmates, during the day he avoids it like the plague. His parents are soulmates and they barely speak, so soulmates can’t be all they’re cracked up to be. After Nancy never makes one of his marks tingle and burn he tries to give up on the idea entirely, figuring he can go on without a soulmate and be with Nancy - but then she breaks his heart and those late nights are all he has.

His first soulmark changes when he’s stuck underneath Starcourt mall the summer after he graduated. He had been working with a girl, Robin, who barely tolerated him on a good day and now she’s been sucked into his shitty world. When the alarms go off in the bunker he barely has a second to react before Robin is grabbing his hand and yelling at him, “Steve, we need to run!” His feet start moving and he yells back for her to be careful with his arm, even as he feels the tingling burn cover his palm and in that supply closet, leaning against the door next to Robin they make eye contact. In that short second of connection he knows that she felt it to, that he’s just found his soulmate and despite his fear he’s so happy that it’s her. Later, after they had both puked up their guts and he had confessed to having a crush on her, Robin told him about Mrs. Click’s class and Tammy Thompson and how she’s sorry that he’s stuck with a soulmate who can never love him back. Steve blinks and suddenly his two soulmarks make so much more sense.

“Robin, I have another soulmark. I don’t… I don’t think you were ever a romantic soulmate for me.” He watches the relief and, maybe even, joy cover her face and she launches herself at him in a hug, squeezing him tight and he returns the favor completely ignoring his own pain.

The other soulmate comes over 8 months after meeting Robin. He was so grateful for having her in his life but he still wanted that other piece, he loved Robin and she loved him but he wanted romantic love too. Unfortunately for Steve, just like with Robin, his other soulmark was triggered when he was fearing for his life. He had just been dragged through Watergate and made into a chew toy for a bunch of demobats. Steve was just trying to catch his breath when they all heard the bigger hoard approaching and he knew he had to run. He made it surprisingly far before the pain of each step started to settle in, his feet dragging more and more and his pace slowing when someone moved in beside him, wrapping one arm around his back to settle his hand on his hip. Eddie grabbed the arm closest to him and dragged it over his shoulders, giving Steve a grin. “I got you, you can lean on me.” This only made Steve completely trip; the sudden onset of tingling burning at his side so close to his currently bleeding wounds had his left leg collapsing under his weight.

“Why does this always happen when I’m in danger?” Eddie froze and then a laugh burst forward.

“That makes so much sense with context. C’mon let’s get you somewhere to sit and we can talk more when you’re not bleeding over me.”

When he and Eddie got to Skull Rock, he and Robin made eye contact and he watched her eyes flit down to where Eddie’s hand was on his side. Her eyes grew about three sizes and he just shot her the best grin he could. He didn’t care that he had been bleeding all over his soulmate for the past few minutes - he had gotten blood on Robin when they found out that they were soulmates, so it seemed fitting for him to be doing the same to Eddie.

Years down the road he would look back and laugh at the drama surrounding him finding both of his soulmates. Eddie even joked that the universe gave him two to make up for his shitty parents, and Steve wasn’t going to argue.

I feel like a lot of people in the fandom tend to forget this, so I'm just here to give a kind, thoughtful reminder :]

Ambrosius Goldenloin in the movie is an East Asian man (Korean-coded), his skin is tan, his eyes are monolid and his nose is big

He's voiced by Eugene Lee Yang - a Korean-American actor who also has Chinese and Japanese heritage. Eugene Lee Yang looks like this:

During the production, when Ambrosius was decided to be East Asian, artists looked up queer East Asian-American men, and based Ambrosius off of them. Ambrosius is literally drawn to look like Eugene Lee Yang

Please draw him as such, thank you

#nimona #ambrosius goldenloin #no but its so annoying bro #why do people literally forget hes EAST ASIAN #AND HIS CHARACTER TACKLES THE “MODEL MINORY” MYTH EAST ASIAN IMMIGRANTS WERE MET WITH IN USA #race in nimona is important because as one person said #you cant make a movie about a police state and not touch upon the race subject #HE IS EAST ASIAN #PLEASE IF YOURE DRAWING NIMONA THE MOVIE FANART (in the comic hes white yea) THEN PLEASE LEARN HOW TO DRAW MONOLIDS AND BIG NOSES I BEG #why am i so pressed abt this?? #he looks like me bro #his features are my features and im not joking #so when i see ppl erase them #its not well for my self-esteem lets put it this way #please stop erasing his race while drawing #thank you :) #ofc i havent made this post bc of one person who blogged that Golitzine should play Ambrosius what r u talkin abt #Golitzine is a slavic man hes russian #a russian prince #ambrosius is east asian #plus we dont need a nimona live action itd be stupid #a short animated film abt bal's and ambrosius's childhood? sure #thats it #live action remakes SUCK #can you believe i made this post purely out of spite

Have you ever seen or imagined an underground bunker school?

Shit seems straight out of some anti-utopian future fiction. Yet, a reality in Ukraine🫤

First ever underground school has been built in Kharkiv.

The facility has 20 classrooms and can host 450 pupils. 900 in total, with 2 shifts.

Just watched a documentary mini-series on how Ukraine was regaining its independence in 1991.

The way the US tried so hard to preserve the USSR. That goddamned "Chicken Kiev" speech from George Bush.

And then that ultimatum that the US would only recognise Ukraine's independence if Ukraine gave up its nukes and a significant portion of other weapons, because for some reason they thought only russia had the right to have them.

Ukraine did agree to this ultimatum. It signed that goddamned Budapest memorandum. The US and UK said they, along with russia, would guarantee Ukraine's safety. And then in 2014 Ukraine, having gotten rid of most of its military potential, got invaded by russia. And the UK and US did NOTHING. Then in 2022 russia escalated its war to all out genocide. Entire cities are completely razed to the ground, tens of thousands of people are killed, millions lost their homes, thousands are subject to torture and forced deportations. Only then the US reluctantly started providing help, which is MUCH appreciated, I must stress on that, but Ukraine still has to keep begging. For its very existence. That was "guaranteed".

And in the midst of this, a lot of USAmericans are like, "why would we care about these millions of people (that we gave security guarantees to) that are being subject to genocide when the roads in my town are bad and the streets are filled with garbage? They must all die because there is garbage on my street!"

i just made possibly the weirdest 40 dollars of my entire life

so my landlord died recently and his son inherited everything all of a sudden. and there's this huge storage shed out behind my apartment building that the dude's been cleaning out the past few weeks

and i was taking my cat out for a walk and i see him there and we start shootin' the shit. and he's like "yeah, i locked my keys in the shed, don't know what i'm gonna do now. i'm gonna replace the doors soon anyway but i'm not sure how to break in"

and my cat decides it's time to go back inside so i grab my lockpick set and go out there and i tell him i can try to jimmy the lock open, but i'm only experienced with padlocks.

then i realize i probably sound like a criminal. but telling him the real reason i taught myself this (being a d&d nerd and also briefly getting into lockpickinglawyer's videos) sounds fake as FUCK. so i decide i need to make up a lie that sounds more believable than the truth. tell him my dad had really bad adhd and lost his keys to the barn a lot (that is true) and that he taught himself how to pick locks to let himself in and passed that down to me (that is false)

so i start picking the lock and it takes a few tries. i've only practiced on one lock so it's hard to get a feel for a new one, especially a (mildly rusty) door lock like that. but i eventually get it and we get the door to open.

and he starts thanking me a ton and telling me how cool it is that i could do that. and i just accept the praise, feeling glad that i got to make someone's day better. and then he hands me 40 bucks because "a locksmith would've charged me way more than that, and probably not been able to come til tomorrow"

#eliot posts #this sounds like an everybody clapped fake story but no sometimes life is just that fuckin bizarre #i own a cloak and can pick locks #you'd think i was and rpg character but no #i am just actually autistic #then again lbr lots of rpg characters are ALSO hella autistic #do you remember those old ''in soviet russia''/russian reversal memes? #in soviet russia landlord pays you

Beyond repulsed that Ben Whishaw has agreed to whitewash a literal russian nazi in Limonov: The Ballad. A nazi whose pathetic existence would be forgotten in a couple of years unless russian director Kiril Serebrennikov decided to immortalize the romanticized version of him and market it to the festival crowd as a story of a rebel and avant-garde rock star. The Cannes Film Festival made a huge mistake by including this film in its program. Last time, Serebrennikov used the Cannes platform to advocate for lifting the sanctions from Roman Abramovich (a notorious russian oligarch) and portray russian soldiers as victims of russian war against Ukraine.
