#that I couldn’t solve

[poketcg-art]

A fun fact about the Ancient Mew post:

I have my original from childhood because I saw the first 3 movies in theaters, and it’s beaten up and bent to heck and back because I was 3 years old when I got it. So i never scanned it because it’s in too poor of shape.

I was at an antique mall in May and saw the card in the scan for half market price and jumped right on it. I’ve been wanting a clean copy to have next to my sentimental one.

The other cards it was with were definitely fake, so my brother and I started looking into differences between the English and Japanese prints, comparing photos online, etc. I cannot figure out if the card is real or not. There’s also a chance it could be a reprint, because this card did have a promotional run for a second time in Japan. The print lines up better with the Japanese print of the card, and could be why the price was lower? It’s hard to say.

The Mew could potentially be the only fake card I put in this blog. I’m fine with it being fake because I have the original too, but it’s a complete mystery to me. By how it’s printed differently than other cards it’s potentially very easy to counterfeit.

I need more of Kuras being a grounding comfort to Mhin

#I’m not saying kissing would solve all their problems #but it’d make them feel more bearable #Mhin can be baby with Kuras okay #art has not been arting this week for me #very slowly struggled with this but making something even if it’s not my best is better than nothin #touchstarved #touchstarved game #touchstarved kuras #touchstarved mhin #touchstarved fanart #my art #disclaimer I couldn’t remember if both or just one of Kuras’s hands had palm scars so I just didn’t draw any

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You need to kill Darth Vader! The very fate of the galaxy depends on it! He is pure evil. The source of all that is wrong in universe. Every bad thing that has ever happened ever is his fault - like on a personal level.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You want me to kill him? Me? The master swordsman? The battle-hardened general? Arguably one of the greatest Jedi of all time? Oh no, I couldn’t possibly!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: No you don’t understand - I love him. Mind your fucking business.

#the sum total of every conversation obi wan had 19BBY-4ABY #master yoda YOU should totally go fight anakin #padme WE need to kill- uh I mean ‘find’ anakin! #reva I’m going to give you an opportunity to kill anakin! #luke how do you feel about patricide??? #(this along with many problems in the se universe could have been solved by asking Leia To Do The Thing) #obi really acting like he hadn’t had several wide open opportunities #as if my guy did not have vader lying on the ground in front of him #LIMBLESS AND ON FIRE #and couldn’t seal the deal #‘​but he thought he was dead!’ the fuck he did #denial is not just a river in egypt #kenobi is the biggest lovesick idiot in the galaxy #obi wan kenobi #obiwan kenobi #anakin skywalker #darth vader #obikin #vaderkin

sometimes i just want to cry over mulder’s fish and the way that we see both scully and doggett go to his apartment and feed them during the months he was missing and the fact that scully must have kept feeding them even months after he was dead and just to be loved so much that people come tend to your environment and keep your home and feed your fish long after you’re gone

and that the first thing he notices when he comes back is that one isn’t there. and how scully tried so hard, she tried so hard to find him and to keep him safe and to keep his work going and to keep those damn fish alive, and the first thing that he says to her when they walk back into that apartment is that one is missing

the way that in that scene, he says that he’s having trouble processing, that he doesn’t know where he fits in. you can be loved so much that multiple people come feed your fish and maintain your apartment after you’re buried in the ground, you can try so hard to keep everything going for someone else, but the world keeps spinning, and time goes on. fish die and baby bumps grow and answered prayers aren’t always miracles

he came back covered in scars to a clean apartment and a fish tank missing 1 molly and where does he fit in inside a world that hasn’t waited for him, no matter how hard she tried to make it stop

#nurse she’s rambling about the fish again #he loves those fucking fish #thinking about how they’re in scully’s apartment after he leaves in s9 #anyway i know it didn’t do things perfectly but i love ‘three words’ for this dynamic #she is SO pregnant in that scene and he has missed EVERY day of it #and she has a new partner and the fbi wants him out and what is there even for him to miraculously resurrect to #having this baby and solving x-files were things that she wanted to do with him #and as far as he knows she’s been doing fine alone and with her new partner #he doesn’t know that she wept on the floor of a hospital and slept clutching his shirt in his bed #that she had to be Ripped off of his corpse and that she watched that fish die and she couldn’t stop any of it #‘don’t quite have my legs under me yet’ indeed #txf.txt #three words

I often think about all the people who were forced to go through their periods before reliable painkillers were invented. I just had period cramps so bad, I was frantically googling ‘how to tell the difference between period cramps, ovarian cysts, and a cute appendicitis’ while waiting for the painkillers to kick in and trying not to throw up from the pain. And how period cramps were probably the least of their problems. Absolutely insane. How did we survive as a species.

#cecil blogs her life #period mention #period mention tw #like I was genuinely trying to do the pressure test for appendicitis but I was in so much pain I couldn’t tell the difference #I know that morphine and so on has existed for ages but like. imagine you’re a Victorian trying to get thru your cramps bc you already have #11 kids to manage by taking Ye Olde Totally Safe Concoction (70% morphine 20%alcohol 10%cocaine) #and oops now you’re addicted to morphine #if you don’t accidentally overdose #or you’re a hunter gatherer without running water and your options are ‘try these berries/mushroom/bark’ #‘you’ll either forget you have a body or die instantly problem solved in either case’ #and you’re sitting there try to remember if those were the berries/mushrooms/bark that killed Kenneth last week #and so on and so forth

Another thing I love about is Zuko is 100% ready for a fight at all times. When Azula shows up at the Western Air Temple he’s immediately ready to go all hands. The Earth Kingdom soldiers in Zuko Alone want to fight? My man’s going to do it and he’s going to humiliate you while he’s at it. When he and Katara are hunting down Yon Rha and they find the current leader of the Southern Raiders Zuko beats that guy up no problem. When he sees Iroh in prison post-COD he’s throwing that guard up against the wall and off his feet like he’s a couple of grapes. The Beach has him launching people across the room. He’s ALWAYS ready to go and he’s not afraid to just throw away the bending, the swords and the knives and just go all in with just his hand-to-hand combat skills.

#bby gurl…… branch out….. there are other ways to problem solve 😭 #the gaang has to sit him down and be like… Zuko u can’t just punch ur way through this #zuko: it’s worked before 🙄💪 #Toph and Zuko together is hilarious and so chaotic. they would enable each other so much #they couldn’t give us a toph and zuko field trip bc it have inevitably involved someone getting robbed and most definitely #at least one (1) fight #zuko #jack talks #idk I just think it’s funny that’s SO ready. all the time. every day. #avatar the last airbender #main series

"What happened to you on earth that turned you soft?" <- trying to goad you into a fight (is having an existential identity crisis) because the only method to try and gain acceptance and a chance at respect is a fight to the death (can't see properly, tears in eyes) and the chances of winning are zero (this is a drawn out way to get an inevitable conclusion over with)

#Loki is so funny #clown behaviour fr #goading ur bro into a fight won't solve anything bro #I’d be frustrated if some random mortal woman changed u in a way centuries of trying as a brother couldn’t #but I guess that just shows the world the power of post knuckle kiss clarity

Having kind of a shit day for very little reason. Reblog with photos of your pets to assist with a speedy recovery.

#I wish I could just get a good cry out #stupid eyes not producing enough liquid #I was planning on going to the beach with the rest of my theatre troupe today but I couldn’t get a ride because my mom is sick #and the people carpooling didn’t have enough seats #so I laid in bed all day upset and wishing I could just cry #because despite being there for 3 years I’m still on the outs of a lot of going-ons #vent posting #I promise this won’t be frequent #I just need somewhere to get this off my chest #a cat always helps right? #yeah. cat pics solve everything. #that sounded weird… actual cats guys #like the ones that knock stuff off of shelves and scream until you give them food

didn't Peter date Felicia while he and Gwen were on that break

YEP. he did. he did. and maybe he reasoned it was okay because technically. it was spider-man dating felicia. that’s not cheating either.

#I don’t think peter feels so guilty about felicia. #but he was in a self-destructive spiral when he dated felicia: see it came from outer-space! #I think he thought being more casual about sex would solve some of his problems. #it didn’t. he couldn’t really get more casual about sex. but he tried. #sci speaks

#I had to take it apart piece by piece to find what was the problem and I did find it! #I couldn’t solve it tho lmao the piece wasn’t working properly so it was either let it where it was or #remove it and risk the other buttons to not work properly #so now I can’t use the highest speed but hey! the other two work just fine! :D #a win is a win #loops blabbers

Glass Onion really was just me yelling about how stupid Miles is the entire time and then feeling the satisfaction when the other characters realized it too

#I was on the miles hate train from the moment I saw him but also when he said the mona lisa’s smile appears and disappears I was so pissed #like yes the meaning of the mona lisa’s smile changes every time you look at it I can get behind that #but the smile itself does not disappear!!!!! the restoration of her smile was like a whole thing!!!! what the fuck are you talking about!!!’ #‘that is the Aegean sea’ one of my favorite lines ngl #glass onion #glass onion spoilers #technically I guess? #ok spoilers starting here #also I can’t have been the only one who realized that the handwriting on the envelope that said ‘love andi’ #was the same as the handwriting on the invitation that said ‘love miles’ #bro couldn’t even get original with that #love the fact that blanc didn’t even get the chance to solve the puzzles so he just trashed them to miles’ face just cause he could #an icon honestly #also I truly don’t think that’s how allergic reactions work like he would not have just died that quickly but I guess it must have been bad #also also for the record I called the allergic reaction thing from the second he dropped cause why else would they mention that #to be fair I fully thought that the fruit in his drink was a straight up pineapple so I am kinda dumb but it did remind me of the allergy so #helen brand you will always be famous #anyways i’ll shut up now #autism (mads) speaks

If I can’t get a father-son reunion where they talk out their emotions and reconcile in Kingdom, I might as well go to Ovenbreak for it

#cookie run #cookie run ovenbreak #cookie run kingdom #cookie run spoilers #crob spoilers #peperoncino cookie #habanero cookie #dark choco cookie #dark cacao cookie #I finished the Flames of Longing event #and while I was watching the cutscenes I couldn’t help but be reminded of Dark Choco and Dark Cacao #sure I may be biased but I feel like these are two similar situations #not identical in any way there’s definitely some major differences #but it’s like…it’s almost as if Peperoncino and Habanero are what Dark Cacao and Choco could have been you know? #if something like this had happened when Dark Choco was younger and he and Cacao had conflicts earlier in his life #or if they could reconcile #I dunno #Edit: by “could have been” I don’t mean that I want them to have been written in this way #I mean it in a more “if only they could have solved their differences early and all this could have never happened” #more like a tragic thing you know?

sometimes I think about writing and singing music not because I’m an incredible singer but because no one has my fucking voice, especially in popular music, and its disheartening to be born a girl, told you’ll only get girl roles or try to voice match other girls, or ‘sing with the girls’ and then only be able to match male voices because you’re a fuckin tenor and not anything higher. I can’t think of any girl Broadway roles I can hit all the notes on. Most songs I love I have to pitch down for myself or use falsetto for singing along to. It bothers me a lot less now because I’m an adult who’s more secure in myself but as a teen in kids musical theatre it FUCKED with me, BAD style. And I know for a fact that even now when I hear people with a voice like mine singing I get excited and immediately invested in their work because they’re like ME, finally, for once. A brother in this world of being afab and having the voice of a recently pubescent boy forever. Maybe I should be that brother too.

#Using randomly gendered words because that’s me now but hey #Regardless of if you were born afab and are a girl 100% or if you were born afab and are someone else #It STILL sucks to always be grouped along with ‘girls’ just because of your voice and realize #You CANT hit that. You can’t hit the mark for ‘girl’. You’ll never achieve that without like. Hrt #Just say THE VOCAL CLASS. Like. Sopranos sing with this. Tenors with this. Bass with this. Etc #Then it doesn’t hurt! But nooo instead they’re looking or ‘sing with the other girls’ and you fucking can’t #And it gives you a crisis at age 14 #Anyway all I know is when other people who were assigned female at birth and aren’t on something they changes ones voice #and just happen to have born with the same deep ass voice as me. It makes me proud to hear them use it #Because not enough people do. It’s like we’re all collectively embarrassed or something #I see so many sad posts from teenagers posting their dream roles and the reason they won’t get it is ‘girl’ #and it’s like. I remember being that kid. Never able to get a female lead because of my voice. Never able to get a male lead because of gir #Even though my voice and appearance could easily swing male. Nope! You’re GIRL. So you’re doomed to background forever :) #I got 1 lead role and it was when I was at my most feminine and was also for a villain that was a fat hag #I LOOOOVED playing her im aunt sponge forever. BUT. Never getting one again after that… showed me. Something #More gender blind casting and more songs just written for tenors please #doing just ONE of those things would probably solve the issue #But both please because I’m greedy and I want what I couldn’t have for every kid today #(And also me in the future in adult community theatre. Haven’t had time/too intimidated so far but I WILL go back) #And before anyone questions the language on this post. I STRUGGLED with how to word it #TERFs begone. I love trans people. I am nonbinary and some form of intersex (pcos). #I just word it this way because of like. Where we all start #Whether we stay GIRL girls or realize we’re somewhere in between. It crushes us either way to have the ‘wrong’ voice to do anything #Because it did me at first. And I’m otherwise GLAD to be confusing #I’ve come to love my deep voice it baffles others and they never know what to call me it really helps the whole ‘what am I’ presentation #But. In terms of certain things. Like being in theatre in the deep south #It certainly does not help and can be disheartening #Especially back when I was younger and more self conscious #lion’s lair

Was there really a fricking G1 episode where Galvatron goes to a therapist or is TV Tropes making up shit again

#funny #transformers #transformers g1 #Galvatron #you know I think taking Megs to a therapist could have solved a lot of problems earlier on #Starscream probably needs therapy too #still though #you couldn’t pay me money to be their therapist #I’d be dead by the end of the session #in more ways than one #maccadam #tv tropes

thinking about horror film au marauders.. (tw. lotta gore)

lily the nerdy, bossy character that comes out with a giant axe and brutally beats up the killer/s to the shock of every other character

peter is either the bargaining character that tries to bargain and give the killer/s what they want just as he's about to die. or the character secretly on the killer's side that's revealed at the end

definitely giving wolfstar the making out whilst a killer is in their house/car/woods

mary, dorcas, remus, and lily all turning to each other wondering which of them is gonna die first, when they realise they're basically in a horror film cause of the black character dying first trope (i watched the blackening yesterday and the tagline "we can't all die first" gave me this hc. very good film. highly recommend)

sirius is the resident horror film expert that tells them what the killer usually does next (im imagining someone dying and everyone is just screaming over the dying body and sirius is also screaming but then adds in "this is exactly like that scene in wrong turn!"

the screamers are probably mary, remus, and james. not a definite though. i can see it being other people.

marlene gets the most jump scare scenes and emmeline gets the most hearing creaking and footsteps

james is the best at fighting but absolutely hates blood. feel like there needs to be a scene where he's like punching a masked killer and is doing SO WELL. and he gets the killer on the ground and is about to pull the mask off when the killer pulls out a knife and stabs at his hands and chest and shit. and he just screams and backs away staring at his blood until he faints.

as marlene dies, she clutches dorcas' hand and whispers "the lesbians never get a happy ending. apart from fear street... why couldn’t this be like fear street?"

the final girl HAS to be mary. ofc.

#im very much a satire horror fan. in case you couldn’t tell from this. #gonna explain how everyone dies (other than mary) in the tags cause im having ideas now i thought i was finished #idk the order so this is random and not at all chronological #remus- is high as fuck. thinks sirius or james is pranking him and then gets stabbed or whatever #sirius- tries to out horror the killer. tips a bucket of fake blood on them. has a chainsaw and mask #has a bunch of recording devices with sounds he previously made. etc. but then his fucking phone goes off #and he gets so annoyed because thats such a rookie mistake. and he asks to cut and do a retake just before the killer kills him #marlene- kinda already said about her death. but feel like it's def outside like in the street and shes only with dorcas #i already said james' death #lily- feel like there's more than one killer and she manages to kill one. just to turn around and another to get her #dorcas- she gets VERY into it once marlene dies. definitely gets hits in if not killing some of the killers. #but they ultimately get stabbed a lot and they run to marlene's body whilst bleeding out instead of the hospital #and she dies in marlene's dead grasp. #emmeline doesn't get killed for a while. is bait in a plan to catch killer/s but the plan goes wrong and she gets pushed out a high window #i havent mentioned other characters but why not say their deaths. #regulus- he's made to be involved with like a scene in a library where they go to him to ask about some secret history of the town #and then is killed the next day but has s bunch of writings and pages of books around his room about the killers and hes solved it #but the killer burns it all before anyone gets there #pandora- kinda want her to the first death for some reason idk.. like it gets framed as a suicide but so many people dont believe it #and the killings go on #barty- sees the masked killer and like jokes around touching their mask and stuff. and then the killer just like. brings out an axe #and chops his head off #evan- dont know why but im imagining him driving and getting those spikes in the road to lure him out the car #also btw didn't mention peter's death cause im leaning towards him being secretly one of the killers #and gets killed by either lily or dorcas #was gonna say barty and evan could be killers then i realised i made them kill reg and pandora and cas so people would not like that #also no mary death obviously since shes the final girl. survivor ever <3 immortal <3 #marauders era #marauders #tw. gore
