if you want a romantic anime I can recommend "president of the student council is a maid?!". it's sort of a classic so you might have heard of it but it's cute. not without it's issues of the time and of the genre. but still it's very decent. funny and the main girl and the love interest boy are interesting
also something you might have seen: classmate. just a lil bit of school romance, it's a film. it is gay in a very like. sort of realistic but not for the sake of angst and suffering kind of way. very good animation
Yeah unfortunately I have already watched both of these its weird thinking about how Maid sama used to be one of those animes everyone would have watched not in like the way people watch anime or trending shows now a days more of the if your friend was trying to get you into anime and they gave you a list of recs maid Sama would be on it and yeah Doukyusei came out around the same time yuri on ice did which is weird to think about how long ago that was now

Twitter and Tumblr about completely changing Ariel's ethnia and race in the live action adaptation : "die mad, fiction is fiction, and her origins don't matter in the storyline anyway, who cares where Ariel is from as long as she sings ? Anyone arguing is a racist because life is literally black and white and so are opinions on adaptations, color washing doesn't exist you're just a bigot"
Twitter and Tumblr now that Disney casted an actress who is more native Hawaiian than they ever will be but is not "dark enough" for playing Nani therefore "not a real Hawaiian and white washing" despite she is not white

Day one of teaching myself how to knit while TK and Carlos do various dramatic and romantic things in the background. I'm amazed that I've done this. Is it messy? Yes! Does it bother me? Enormously! But I'm also incredibly exhilerated? Knitting is an extreme source of adrenaline apparently. When you drop a stitch and it's like the bottom has fallen out of the world. When you nail the slipknot and it's like you're Patricia Field. How long until I can knit my own jumper? This piece is going to become a fingerless mitten if it keeps going okay! 🩷

One of the most fun parts of learning about the presidents is getting those little details about what they were like as a person. Habits or interests or hobbies--things that make them a real person instead of just another picture of a bearded guy from the 1800s.
For a few examples:
Abraham Lincoln: Told jokes constantly. And was really good at it.
Ulysses S. Grant: Was amazing at handling horses.
James Garfield: Constantly went to the Library of Congress and always kept up on the latest novels. Had a house stuffed full of books. Often read classics aloud to his kids.
Chester Arthur: Had nocturnal habits and liked taking late night walks
Grover Cleveland: Did really good impressions of people
Benjamin Harrison: Dogs loved him and would sometimes follow him in to his law office.
It's just nice to remember that they were people, you know?

I was scrolling through eBay when I happened upon this listing for a "furby fake". Anyone with better identification skills than me know if this is genuinely a fake? It sort of looks like an oddbody someone is trying to pass off for a quick buck, but I can't deny that I am very fascinated by him.

do you think there is any chance Rubin will start growing ny hair out on his head again? because (considering your lore about him) the time he was trying to remain celibate is gone, so not a monk; the time when he was at war is gone (well, maybe not fully of course. one can simply imagine such things don't go away so easily. but still), and now he's not a soldier. is it #Bald forever or is there hope?
this is such a beautiful ask i love the world it conjures (which is mine) okay let's do this.
ok in my mind's eye rubin pre-The Baldening had long hair like pretty long hair. longer than current-events peter but shorter than pre-events peter [who had it to the waist or something]. so the transformation of long haired -> bald was immediate, drastic and jarring. in p2 burakh says "I'll be damned… you shaved your head. Preparing to become a monk? Or a soldier?" & since in p2 the Rubin War Lore doesn't stand (however i make it stand) the Monk thing is like. as possible as the soldiering. (in canonverse i don't think he meaningfully contemplated monkness[?] because he is not like pious in that way, however he'd have considered hermiticism/secular anchoritism). so he went from long-haired to Bald for multiple reasons, including asceticism, sharp separation with his old life (some cultures have hair-cutting as a traditions of grief), and also because a ponytail in the army is not that useful or safe (but most of the reasons are internal/psychological in nature).
as the Events unfold however... i think he considers growing his hair back he does. however, he needed decades to grow his hair as long as it got to be, so he hesitates, because the awkward stage of bald -> meaningfully long is like. pretty damn long. he's not sure he wants to deal with the short scruff of growing back out a buzzcut. he might just stay #Bald forever. sorry.
in the concept of of the peterstakh [you are on the peterstakh blog.] i think on one hand peter Would Love to see him with his long hair... but it'd take a while... so in the meantime he creates dreams out of pictures he's shown of rubin age 20 with his long hair. he creates dreams and he braids their hair together. in dreams. also purely as a "opposite attracts" thing: the concept of Bald x Luscious very entertaining to me. also i think peter loves his #Baldness because he gets to do shit like this:
