#somewhat random

Reminds me of when I called Nes (a.k.a Frosttouch) a "frozen peacock" and almost put that into the story.

The point of view character would not call Nestori a frozen peacock. The point of view character does not know what a peacock is, frozen or otherwise.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a great example of the cruelties of a capitalist society.

One: He suffered discrimination both inside and outside of work for having a bright red nose.

Two: His boss (Santa) never stepped in to stop it as it never impacted his business model.

Three: He was only welcomed and treated with any respect AFTER his unusual traits enabled him to guide Santa's sleigh.

Ergo: Santa didn't give a flying fuck until he could basically exploit Rudolph's red nose.

There by showing that like most places you are neither valued or respected if you aren't deemed to be 'useful'.

in a modern AU Link would be Zelda's only friend with a driver's license and their chat history would look like this

#vitpost #loz #the legend of zelda #zelink #not necessarily zelink but yknow. It fits the bill somewhat #totk #botw #she keeps ending up in random ass places and he keeps dropping everything to come pick her up #this is the only way to preserve their knight/princess dynamic in a modern setting I think.

if there's one thing about classic literary detectives it's that they are not conventionally attractive. doyle told sidney paget to stop drawing holmes so pretty. christie was like "let me introduce you to this short pudgy balding man who is retirement age and i hate him." sayers compares wimsey to maggots on literally the FIRST PAGE

i love it. i love them. stop casting hot people in these roles. we need our detectives to be Charmingly Weird-Looking

#red randomness #acd holmes #poirot #lord peter wimsey #sherlock holmes #hercule poirot #peter wimsey #100 and up neat #the contrast in resulting authorial attitudes also ends up being somewhat amusing #christie basically wanting to kill poirot but going 'i gotta give the people their pompous little guy. and also it's money.' #doyle constantly wishing people would read his other worse books #and then sayers comes in like 'hey remember the guy i kept comparing to a slug? yeah i'm marrying him to my self-insert'

Test Tube Babies, Spleens, and Fruitloop Father?! NOPE. No thanks.

Danny and Ellie take a small, reincarnation, vacation from their duties in the Infinite Realms (King Danny and his most trusted Knight/Princess Ellie). Don't worry, they leave the Realms in good hands (Jazz, Pandora, Frostbite, CW, etc, basically Danny's main council takes over for a few years)

They both weren't expecting to wake up in an assassin cult though.... Nor to find out they're five year old twins now... Twin, somewhat clones of the leader and this guy Red Robin their 'father' is kinda obsessed with....

Great their 'father' is an insane assassin leader fruitloop and their 'dad' is named after a fast food joint... whose barely out of his teens btw.

Danny al Ghul Danyal, cast a glance as his full blooded and twin sister this time around Helen Ellie al Ghul who rolled her eyes as they listened to their 'father' ramble on and on about their 'dad' and how they were created to be his heir (Danny mostly, though he had plans on Ellie going to be trained to be his body guard by someone named Lady Shiva soon)

Yeah, no. Ellie dealt with one evil fruitloop father who cloned her once before, she's not dealing that again or falling for the 'I created thus I love you but not really' bs. They need to leave, like yesterday.

Hopefully their 'dad' is... okay he doesn't need to be okay with it at first but hopefully comes around to it, okay with the two of them showing up on his doorstep soon.

And you know what, they're gonna bring him a gift.

His spleen. Yeah it'll be good to give that back to him.

Since you know that was how they got clones to begin with... Maybe don't leave your DNA with people that can make clones next time.

There's such an interesting cyber-anthropological phenomenon in feeling a communal pressure to act a certain way, or use the platform a certain way, when joining a new online space. Not in terms of the types of opinions or political views that are deamed acceptable, but in terms of specifics of etiquette and posting formats.

Making a Tumblr post that sounds "like a Twitter user" is met with scorn or derision a lot of the time. And when asking someone why they react like that, typically the answer is some form of "that kind of comedy doesn't work here" or "it doesn't sound right to post like that on this website", which is essentially just "it doesn't fit with the traditions I learned in this specific place".

I will always find the ways social media platforms evolve naturally like societies interesting.

#text #random thought #before i withdrew from college (isolation and quarantine was killing me) i was writing my thesis on cyber anthropology #which is the fastest growing and most overlooked branch of anthropology #my thesis wasnt specifically about this #it was about the essential archival of information regarding internet societies #specifically putting forward the somewhat radical idea that any internet society with more than 100 people should have an archivist #and any group with more than 1000 should have a dedicated historian to track the history of the group and its culture #honestly twitter culture should have literal books written archiving and documenting the many things that happen in my opinion #sounds silly but it is a pillar of our current international society's communication #this is what i think at least

Oh yeah so I finally found that original image with those flavors of certain characters. Well actually I found it a week or two ago, I just forgot about it until I was doing cleanup this morning

Anyways, so I’m aware that these aren’t actually talking about the flavors of the Cookies themselves. This is about the macarons based on each Cookie and what flavors they are

But I kind of want to take these and make them into headcanon flavors. Or at least, they’re tertiary flavors/something that’d be picked up in a dough analysis

Like for instance, Dark Cacao has a trace amount of sea salt in his dough, and similarly Eclair has trace amounts of birthday cake in his. Cotton has some milk in hers, so perhaps she has some ancestry from the Milk Tribe. Sea Fairy tastes similar to Fruity Pebbles, which tbh vaguely remind me of the color of coral, so I like to think she could have originally been a coral based Cookie, assuming she was something before being Sea Fairy. Dark Enchantress has a berry flavor to her. I don’t really have ideas for the other three but there’s things you could come up with

Again I know these aren’t canon, but I can at least incorporate them into headcanon if I want to

#note that the Dark Cacao having sea salt has somewhat evolved #into that he has some ancestry from the Licorice Tribe #since licorice can be salty as well as the Licorice Sea #which is a sea so maybe it has salt #I don’t know it’s not the most obvious connection #but it’s the best I can make with the tribes we know of #anyways #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #dark cacao cookie #eclair cookie #cotton cookie #sea fairy cookie #dark enchantress cookie #dark choco cookie #gingerbrave #herb cookie #random stuff #headcanons

I know some lesbians are not gonna like this, but I'm so over the Kristen Stewart craze, like to each their own, but can we stop seeing her everywhere now?

#i can go on tiktok rn and list at least 15 other white somewhat androgynous lesbians that look exactly like her #random trouble

some alien fish concepts for my headworld. well. one of them. the dragon one! well. one of them-

tiny note that these are not to scale compared to each other <3

#im trying to balance the speculative evolution with THIS IS A MAGIC FANTASY WORLD WEEEEEEEE RANDOM BULLSHIT GO #i like cuttlefish faces but i like fish bodies & i like dunkleosteus fossils/tails #so like... fish with cuttlefish faces!!!! and dunkle-esque face plates! #its not toooo big of a stretch to imagine a world where fish evolved to have face arms #i imagine they're hiding a horrifying exposed jaw in place of a beak <3 #with all the animals ive been making for this world #its.. tough to find a balance between 'these are aliens' and 'i want them to be somewhat similar to earth animals' #recognizable but not carbon copies yk? #vera crafting #worldbuilding #drawing this made me hungry ngl... #its weird i dont like the flavor of most fish. and yet they look so delicious #maybe its my love of salmon... am i part bear... #anyway fish used as heavy inspiration were: arapaima / sunfish / sockeye salmon / trout #the last one (technically first) was just me fuckin around trying to get a feel for it <3 #i gotta draw fish more its so soothing #ohhhh i should add these guys to the size chart for funsies

After Desperado told Hiromu about his eye condition, Hiromu repeatedly said that he wanted Desperado to give him detailed updates on his health situation, and it seems like he meant it. He brought it up immediately on the first day of the current tour and hasn't given up yet.

"The backstage comments are getting stupid again"

Hiromu in the QRT said: "El Desperado, can you hear me? Your eye, your eye surgery, please tell me if it has been completed successfully and safely. ....Yeah, this part of my backstage comment will probably be put onto "X" I think. So please quote it and comment, Desperado-senshu."

Desperado quoted it to say: "You know that if you tell me to do something, I will absolutely never do it."

Undiscouraged, Hiromu continued in the next day's backstage comments:

"First things first. Desperado! Thanks for the comment! But I still want to hear how your eyes are doing, and what % of normal vision you're at right now. Please reassure me! I want to hear the words "I'm 100% healedpiii~!" directly from your mouth, please. I think this part of what I said today will be put onto 'X'"

Desperado didn't respond directly to Hiromu, but he did post an update:

"It hasn't even been a week since my surgery so I'm having terrible double vision, even worse than before the surgery

When I have both eyes open, even if I'm somewhere flat, my balance feels weighted backwards, and the visuals make me nauseous

So I've been wearing an eyepatch everywhere, and traveling by taxi and train instead of driving

But that narrows my field of vision so much that I keep crashing into things and getting in peoples' way...

This suuuucks"

Still not getting the answer he requested, Hiromu escalated.

His wrist tape for today's match read "Despe" "are your eyes" "okay?"

And in his backstage comments, he said that since Desperado isn't talking to him about this on twitter, he wants Desperado to reach out to him directly on the Japanese chat app LINE.

Desperado QRTed a reply, but to the NJPW World account instead of directly to Hiromu.

"My eyes aren't the problem, it's the muscles that move my eyes that are the problem

The muscles that move my eyes are still warming up and getting used to working

I've still got total double vision

I see two people, like the distance between a stand and their stand user"

"So basically, after the muscles that move your eyes are done warming up, you'll intensely train those eyeball-moving muscles so you'll become even stronger than before, okay 🙆 ? "

"I will not do anything to train those muscles after they're done warming up"

"Why did you suddenly start replying to me on X after I said on my backstage comment "Tell me your LINE"?

Ah, whyyy whyyy?"

#njpw #el desperado #hiromu takahashi #takahashi hiromu #my translation #El Desperado explaining his medical symptoms by making a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure metaphor is extremely El Desperado #Also I tend to leave the honorifics into translations when I can and Hiromu uses one I think most people aren't familiar with here #'senshu' is an honorific like 'san' 'chan' etc but specifically used for active pro athletes #It is way more formal and respectful than Hiromu's usual tendency to just use Desperado's name with no honorific at all #If you love Japanese pro wrestling I do recommend getting to know and listening for honorifics and who uses which ones for who and when #Also if you use machine translation stuff and it spits out the word 'player' somewhat at random into pro wrestling stuff that's prob why #It gets confused by the senshu honorific and 'translates' it by inserting the word 'player' into sentences when people use it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think tsukasa is a normie sorry. He does not know memes or internet trends he’s too busy scouring the internet for bootleg theatre productions and practicing facial expressions in the mirror. Guy who could tell you everything you need to know about some obscure actor/play from 100 years ago but does not know a single modern celebrity if they’re not involved in acting. He’s adding new poses to his vast repertoire he is not making banger posts online. “Based? Based on what?” Type of guy.

#nene is the most internet poisoned wxs member and she is not sharing that info with tsukasa #rui is also somewhat online but I feel like he’d mostly be on Wikipedia clicking all the links on an article for a soup #<- also the kind of guy to be watching videos on the most obscure topics just for fun #emu is untainted by the sins of modern internet she is just watching funny pet videos online #i do however think rui would teach tsukasa memes so that tsukasa can misuse them on purpose to annoy nene #sliding scale of nene in middleschool getting into heated online discourse vs tsukasa going ‘that’s boring I’m logging off’ #would like to amend that actually I think tsukasa would see a bad take on one of his favorite actors and get into a 5 day long argument #online on some random barely used Internet forum until the mods were like ok we’re locking this thread every1 shut up #mine #project sekai
