post ep 11

#trigun stampede #trigun #meryl stryfe #nicholas d wolfwood #vash the stampede #i cant even elaborate on this episode bc ive spent all day Thinking about it yesterday #and it made me Miserable #i just want to see vash have some autonomy again... #he is a little bit more on the quieter end for stampede as less angry about things but i dont think he's more of a coward in stampede #even though he was transported into his memories and saw and heard those terrible things from the kids and wolfwood #he was able to gather himself and keep going #his resilience has always been the strongest and also saddest thing about him #so it killed me irreversibly when he lost the one person who he could always look back to reliably #the fact knives couldnt even alter anything in rem's dialogue within those memories just stands for how strong her place is in vash's memory #and potentially knives just knows that would be too ooc of her to make in any Universe if she had something horrible. #man. I TALKED ABOUT THIS IN LIKE ALL 3 PLATFORMS. I'm alright with Knives as a character but jesus #- i did it all for you - im so sad that vash had to hear something like that. im so so sad about it #anyway i hope meryl stays safe shes done so much #i love her so much <3 #ruporas art

pokemon stuff

#octopath traveler 2 #octopath traveler ii #satsuhart #crossover #i dont have like a super deep explanation for every pokemon choice but #for castti i wanted two grass pokemon to represent like medicinal/hazardous concoctions #throne... the seviper represents the blacksnakes obviously but i think itd be nice if pirro had a zangoose to match or smth #for temenos and ampharos i think its dex entries about being a beacon for lost people is nice... and it evolves from a sheep #hikari pretty self explanatory but specifically i think itd be nice if he had a bisharp while mugen had a kingambit it suits them a lot #for ochette i did consider choosing pokemon based on the 3 legends but that would be leaving out mahina akala fdjkha #= decidueye and lycanroc... the arcanine i just think it suits her but also master juvah shaped #oricorio baile was a natural fit for agnea and i think bellossom suits her homeland being the leaflands too #partitio... wild stallion.. gkjfh but i think given that he invents trains itd be good if his team was transportation-based... #delibird i think its just a nice fit for him bc of how it gives out gifts and stuff #for osvald i mostly picked porygon z and magnezone bc they learn tri attack naturally... theyre all scholar ish (?) anyway #also gave everyone unique pokeballs bc i wanted to #oh also for the first pic i didnt draw gallade on purpose bc it takes damage from sandstorms <:) #octo2

Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.

Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.

And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.

Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.

Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.

We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.

It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.

Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.

#canada #so much of our infrastructure and critical construction such as housing #has been pawned off for decades to private companies #and i forgot to mention one (1) family owns the bridge that is a major international corridor between canada and the us #which is apparently fine even though they fought tooth and nail to stop a bridge they don't own from being built #like our housing crisis can be traced back to the government deciding to stop building public housing in the 90s #because they figured private developers would pick up the slack #affordable apartments don't bring in much money so we got decades of cheap-ass 'luxury condos' instead #and once airbnb became a thing we got entire buildings with units <300sqft #and of course when the party in charge rotates between conservatives and neolibs nothing changes and that can gets kicked down the road #and keeps getting kicked until something collapses and they see the chance to fully privatize an industry #something similar is happening to our healthcare system too #it has been left to languish for years/decades with funding freezes and cuts #and private companies are quick to jump in and get the government stamp of approval to do [thing] that the public system clearly can't do #when [thing] would absolutely be possible if it was actually funded and/or staffed #so many communities were cut off when greyhound closed up shop because there's no government inter-city transportation #we lost internet/banking/cell service/etc nation-wide because one of the big three decided to push an update to live without redundancies #and it bugged and took the entire company's network down #even the government agency that demands major companies have a backup on a different network was taken down because they ignored that #and they got a deal if they kept their backup with rogers while their main network was also rogers #so they couldn't even make an emergency statement or anything about it #half my province also lost all digital infrastructure because it's a private company and making a redundancy line would mean smaller bonuse #it's just so bad #joke all you want about how canada is nice and friendly #but you are wrong and it's hell if you actually live here #the only reason canada is seen as nice is because it's hard to not seem like the better option when the us is your neighbour #and because of decades of pr work to make canada seem friendly and nice and not at all problematic #in some countries you actually have to try to hide you're canadian because of how much we colonize and the damage we do to other countries #yes these tags have derailed from the post but ugh #i take major issue with people who insist canada is nice and has never done anything wrong

Heck with it *tosses AU where he was developed in the lab as a dragon hybrid onto the massive pile of AUs as well*

Don't look at me, blame @mysticdoodles for this adorableness XD

#littol baby man #this is what happens to comfort ocs they get buried under a thousand what-if scenarios XD ; #baby dragon AU #myOCs #Charlie #cosmic fiasco #probs won't be as fleshed out as canon or cryptid au but i wanted to doodle this so yeah XD #but yeah to explain #basically aria corp experimented with dragon eggs and gene splicing with low amounts of human dna to allow for better control #only two eggs survived- a fire dragon and an ice dragon #the fire egg was lost in transport- Tikki found it and raised the baby dragon that hatched from it #the ice egg hatched in the facility- that dragon underwent rigorous training and a strict upbringing #and was later sent to recapture his firey 'half-brother' (while the eggs were from different nests the human dna used was the same) #after a few fights the ice dragon starts to spend more time spying on his quarry #and realizes hey... fire dragon kinda has a way better life than he does... #basically tikki ends up raising two half-dragons that are constantly bickering with each other lol

[happylikeasadsong]

i've been thinking a lot about these parallels

my newest obsession meets my longest one.

Luke's life was music. He didn't love anything else than that. Then he met Julie.

Carmy was the best chef at 21 and after his brother died, he wanted nothing more than fix Mike's restaurant so it could be a place ran by adults. Then he met Sydney.

just like sydcarmy, juke makes each other better:

my twinssss

so, yeah, i think a lot about them

and also about the fact that Luke brought music back to Julie's life and Carmy hires Sydney and inadvertently makes food good again for her. Both Luke and Carmy see their potential and do whatever it takes to bring it to surface. They're down BADDD

Syd's failed in the past, but Carmy sees the undeniable passion within her and harness her talent to do big things. So does Luke with Julie's talent.

bonusssss:

like, both of them fully turning around ready to follow their annoyed soulmates just tickles my heart in a different way, i guess

#the way i screamed when the carmy said those lines and i was immediately transported back to my juke days #you don't understand #they are literally SOULMATES #i think i fell so hard for sydcarmy bc of juke #i'm afraid i'll never recover from this #oh how i love them #i mean #but i'm too lost for words #i could go on about more similarities #sydcarmy #juke #carmy x sydney #julie x luke #jukebox my beloved #the bear #jatp #julie molina #luke patterson #sydney adamu #carmy berzatto

every time i watch the x files i want to inject the essence of it directly into my veins

#i feel like ​this is definitely an insane thing to say but it’s true #the characters the monsters the aliens the conspiracies the romance the overwhelming 90s-ness of it all #and ​also the nostalgia. i was way too young and didn’t understand a lot of what was going on but i would sit with my mom and dad #in the living room and watch it with them while it was airing #the x files #txf #text #i remember the intro used to scare the shit out of me when i was little. so when i started watching it for real in 2011 #and the intro came on i was immediately like transported back to that time and completely froze up in fear 💀 #txf intro the lost intro and the jp3 ringtone all deeply affected me as a child rip

[cafffine]

I needed at least a few months of testosterone, but I wasn’t able to get it where I am, so i sent it to a pharmacy near my parents, and asked them to mail it to me.

I opened it up the other day to start using the new stash and there was a wad of toilet paper in the first box. I opened up the rest of them and yeah: my mom individually swaddled each little glass vial of T in paper to keep it from rattling around in shipment, then sealed them back up for me.

crying over a pile of toilet paper now. wish I could write a poem or something but being trans and being loved for it is always novel to me and I wish it on all of you with my whole heart

#thinking too abt how she lost contact w her own mom for a while for supporting me but she does it anyway #and she wraps the bottles safe for transport!!!!! AH!!!!! #double shot

[omppupiiras]

khkhkkhh my own family is mocking me asking me if i'm gonna go to the spring käärijä gig 😭😭 "even käärijä is not gonna get you to go to helsinki??" WELL ALRIGHT THEN MAYBE HE WILL! maybe ill do it 😤😤 ..sidenote did anyone figure out the dna customers presale thing?

[art-of-wackylurker]

Well hello there, who's up for some fucked up horse?

Hogsteed, ladies and gentlemen. Or Hellspawns, as some might call them...

So yea it's one of the species I'm making up for fanfic purposes as none of the existing creatures in the SW universe (both canon and legends) fit my needs. Also because I'm making up a whole planet as none of the existing ones was just about right for me...

Here's the design, more detailed info will appear later. Somewhere. When I finally get myself to continue writing that fanfic. Yea...

#artists on tumblr #traditional art #speculative zoology #project: the lost platoon #Also contrary to many other sci-fi creatures these will have plenty of variations to better reflect their domesticated status #because YES these beasts are domesticated! And used as draft animals! And for riding! And mounted combat! And zootherapy! #They can be very sweet when raised properly #Like generally speaking temperament and behavior-wise hogsteeds are a mix of draft horses pigs rhinos and livestock guardian dogs #yea so this is the creature clones will be using for transport once they crash on the planet #but first I have to figure out how to do logistics of tacking up these things #Mainly how to make saddles that accomodate for the back slope and how to manage bits in relation to their tusks. Or if do bits at all #None of these things will actually matter in that fic but hey! I come up with cool stuff! #and YES. THOSE are the creatures Yurand and Vorskel become horse girl (gn) for

Don't ask why I did this, I just had to okay? Hahaha

Euden's Headphones

...Have dragon wings on them, in Dragalia Lost's JP only Radio because of course they would! Basically, for Radio Castle, it seemed like they just had Cleo's and Euden's JP voice actors sit around and chat. But I still hadn't seen this art of them that they'd made for it.

Nevertheless, that is all. Dragon wing headphones.

#Euden: Anyways guys we're back to my list of the 1000 cutest dragons...picking it back up at number 13: Gloom Drake! #...Proceeds to immediately fall back in a catatonic state at seeing such cuteness and frustrating the rest of the group... #...Who tried to insist that he not be involved with this project but to no avail. #But he got a list done! Eventually! It only took 3 agonizing years for him+everyone around him but he got it! #This is my interpretation of what would happen if Comic!Euden and the gang got transported to a time with radio haha #In any case I hope someone might like seeing this kind of 'rare' art that we never would've naturally seen over here! #dragalia lost #dragalia

For the love of all things holy, if you're aromantic and romance-repulsed, try not to go on holiday with friends who are a couple.

You don't know where you're going 90% of the time because they're too busy talking with each other about where they're going and never actually tell you where to go and how you're getting there.

I'm having fun but also just blindly following the blind who seem to talk only to each other and don't actually know what I'm doing until someone says something 20 mins later.

#aromantic #aro-spec #aromantic spectrum #just aro things #arospec #I'm conflicted #on one hand the two people I'm on holiday with are so organised #and this is the first time I've been on holiday with them and I'm enjoying spending time with them #but at the same time #I'm that person who even though they didn’t make the decision on where to go still wants to know exactly where and how to get there #just general anxiety about making sure I'm getting the right transport and going the right way and all that #and the late communication from the other two who only discuss travel amongst themselves and don't inform us till later really bugs me #I'm having fun but also just majorly lost half of the time

tilly is doing too much to be a cadet goddamn

#if i hadnt even GRADUATED yet. and i had to work on an experimental mycelium network. during a war. and then be transported to a universe+ #where everything absolutely sucked and had to pretend to be a captain. and then have to calculate how to come back from that au by riding a+ #mycelium wave from an explosion whilst also not frying the ship & killing all my crew mates. and then find out we overshot coming back to+ #our timeline and we have LOST THE WAR #i would tell saru to drop me on the nearest planet and leave me to forge a new life #there is absolutely NO concept of like. work grades. on the uss discovery #why do they have a CADET on the mushroom engine. girl where are yhe lieutenants. the ensigns even #when i first starting watching i also thought it was CRAZY that stamets is just a lieutenant #he should be a lt commander at least #tilly is so brave #star trek #star trek discovery #sylvia tilly

i think the meaning of life actually is when you rediscover songs from when you were a kid that you haven’t heard in like 14 years and suddenly get hit with a suffocatingly strong wave of nostalgia and flood of warm memories

#this post is about lost in my mind by the head and the heart #because what the fuck man #i’ve gone down a hyper specific rabbit hole of 2010 era folk music and i clicked through random bands and landed on this song and #i was instantly like WAIT I FUCKING RECOGNIZE THIS HOLY SHIT #i’m in tears i just got transported back to being five years old again #what the fuck #cherry speaks #i feel a new playlist brewing

[kebriones]

you are a color smudge at the edge of someone's vision, someone is a gust of wind against your arm

#that's all we mostly are to each other in the city #man I spend three consecutive days going back and forth in crowded public transport and I'm already losing it aren't i #is the connection lost because there's no concious recognition or do our souls still feel each other as we share the same space?

[lightyaoigami]

absolutely incredible that all these years later, seeing anything to do with those/hinterland makes me feel like ive taken a poison blowdart to the neck. just instant incapacitation. truly the fic ever.

#those who stand for nothing fall for anything #when i first got to ch13 the first time i read it i was so disoriented that i forgot how to drive home and got lost. #yes it was so long ago that i was transporting myself in a car. can u believe
