If you have animal coworkers who sometimes walk on your keyboard, always double check before sending messages. I’m a work-from-home editor for business articles, and I barely caught this helpful addition my chinchilla made to an inline note I had sent back to the writer:

Fortunately I noticed and removed the note before my client could see it. It’s probably poor business etiquette to make your clients worry whether their editor has snapped.

#this happened last week and it still cracks me up #looks like I just started SCREAMING midsentence #then continued on as normal #humor #customer service #river rambles #pets #chinchillas #work stories #work from home

On the train of your last ask, what are your thoughts on dragons sexuality?

Personally I think he’s Demi something (more attracted to personality than looks or gender)

Honestly because we don't know that much about the guy it's kind of hard for me to form an opinion, and if Crocodad Real then we're going to find out his orientation eventually (since we gotta find out if that was a contributing factor to the Dragodile Divorce (assuming they're divorced)) so I'm kind of okay with not forming any headcanons, since the headcanon could get thrown out the window

If anything, what interests me is how Dragon's orientation could impact the story-- like when I've discussed the Dragodile Divorce I have mainly focused on speculating how Crocodile would've felt about it, but how Dragon felt about that is interesting too

Because if he's straight then yeah that probably contributed to The Divorce, but how did Dragon feel about it? Learning that the love of his life is now happier than ever before after transitioning and being happy for him, while also losing the version of Crocodile that he fallen in love to begin with? No longer feeling thet draw to him because of the thing that has brought him so much joy and comfort? Knowing that even if they did take down the WG the family Dragon had hoped to have would never come to be, because their relationship would now end? And that it would be on some level his fault, because he's not attracted to Crocodile anymore?

Like even if Dragon took things well and the divorce happened "on good terms", it would've been sad for Dragon too.

But then there's a slightly juicier option, because what if Dragon was bi, but the Divorce happened under unpleasant circumstances (be it Dragon lashing out or things getting violent because he couldn't recognize Crocodile) and he didn't figure it out until it was too late?

Because you'd still have Dragon going through some if not all of those previously mentioned feelings, of having to come to terms with the version of his significant other whom he had fallen in love with no longer existed, the family had pictured in his mind would never become a thing, that those things were be kind of his fault and that he had hurt Crocodile deeply in the process. But then he'd be looking at some news article of Crocodile's most recent heroic stunt, seeing his handsome face with that usual, unbothered expression, and realizing he still loved him? That he still wanted to be with him, wished they were together, even now that Crocodile was a far more handsome man than he was? And then the realization that he's bi hitting him like a fucking truck But it's too late. The divorce already happened. He already hurt Crocodile too deeply. Knowing Croc, he had probably already moved on. There was no fixing it, the relationship was over. At least for now, trying to go see Croc could be dangerous due to the WG and not wanting to risk the WG finding out about them and The Kid and Croc would probably be furious if Dragon even risked that at this point, after what he had done. Oh, and then Crocodile killed thousands of innocent people attempting to usurp a country by manufacturing a civil war. Something Dragon can't forgive. (Not to mention, hearing he had been taken down by their own son... Oof)

But what if despite all that, and not knowing the full circumstances behind what had happened (like the fact that Crocodile didn't know who the hell Luffy was), Dragon still loved Crocodile? What then?

#Moon posting #Asks #Dragodile #OP Meta #Answering an unusual amount of asks today because 1) Compensating for being AFK for a while and #2) The Tumblr News are deeply fucking upsetting and I need something to lighten my mood desperately ngl #So clearing my ask box it is wheeeee #Sorry this is a little incoherent lmao #Something about Dragon looking at Crocodile and being like ''why the fuck are you more handsome than me'' cracks me up okay #When your transgender husband gives you gender envy #I just love the story telling potential bi Dragon would give us because like. Yeah if they're straight then the relationship is joever #But if he was bi then there's that theoretical possibility they could maybe reconcile and get back together #And the fucking drama? The possibilities? I'm so here for that man give it to me #Luffy and/or Ivankov telling Dragon to get over himself and admit that he still loves Crocodile and wants to be with him? Gimme #Dragon taking a deadly blow to protect Crocodile because he doesn't want to lose him again? It's a trope for a reason #OR Dragon craddling a dying Crocodile begging him not to die because he still loves him? Oh yes #Crocodile trying to sneak away while everyone celebrates the destruction of the World Government #And Dragon showing up like ''I don't wanna lose you again pls don't go ;_;''#And Croc telling him to either piss off OR to hurry up and get on the ship so they can leave before Luffy finds out #I am. Obsessed. Dragodile Retirement Romance let's fucking go #THE POSSIBILITIES MAN. Like I don't wanna get my hopes up because I doubt we'll get Canon Gay Dragodile BUT IT COULD BE SO GOOD

Among fliers

Do you think parents give you weird looks if you're a flier who named two of your kids Portcullis and Achilles. Because they were historically renowned gay lovers. The Greek Romeo and Juliet. Or like is it okay.

And if you're Achilles do you get laughed at for hurting your ankle.

#the underland chronicles #gregor the overlander #the fliers #but seriously.#Is it like 'oh those are good names for twins same story.#Or like. The one statue of those two characters is of them fucking don't name your kids both those names.#Also the Icarus thing in COTWB still cracks me up.

i was watching a youtube video (it was a reaction video about nimona) and in the intro one of the guys said "if you guys want us to watch more gay stuff-" i immediately turned the video of and said "i wanna watch some gay stuff" and as i was about to click on a streaming platform, i accidentally clicked on tumblr. i was about to say "no i want to watch gay stuff" but realized that this site is probably gayer than anything i'll ever watch.

#it's a silly little story but i still wanted to share it #bc it was WAYY funnier irl and cracked me up #nimona #gay #i was watching “spilling the milk” btw

Breathing into a paperbag thinking about the possibility of Elbaf digging the conflict from Water 7 back up again and maybe exploring some long-term repercussions of Luffy and Usopp’s fight that not even they themselves were aware of and and and and and-

LISTEN. the Water 7 Saga absolutely rewired the way I understood the crew and how each member views themselves and the roles they play. And it’s been some time since the Strawhat’s exploration of the New World has allowed them to really take time and consider themselves and each other like that again.

And Elbaf just sounds (MUAH) like such a wonderful opportunity to do exactly that, it sounds perfect, primarily in the way it ties all the way back to the Strawhat’s early days on the Grand Line. And when you look at the presence of the Giant Pirates in Little Garden and Enies Lobby, what they share is that both times the Giants Served the purpose mirroring the conflicts between the crewmates and highlighting the importance of loyalty and comradery. Shit writes itself. Come on Elbaf don’t let me down. Come on Usopp I know you can hit us with another world shattering arc just take the stage love.

#remember when Dorry and Brogy’s story served to introduce us to Zoro and Sanji’s rivalry #by showing that even though they fight constantly theyd break if they lost each other and deep down they are still crew #and now we have an unresolved death pact looming over the two of them #Remember when Kashi and Oimo taught Usopp that the cost of loyalty can b great and harrowing but it is beyond rewarding for the right perso #just when he was doubting wether he was truly strong enough to stand at Luffy’s side or at all capable of the bravery needed to be a pirate #and now he’s going to have to look these friends and allies in the eye and be the one to show them all that his decision to remain-#-a Strawhat has brought him #when asked to look at his journey so far and ask himself if he’s truly reached his ideals will he be able to smile wide and say yes?#or will the seeds of doubt and anxiety start planting themselves in his heart again?#hell you know what would be rlly cool for me. If throughout this arc EVERYONE began losing themselves to their own doubts BUT him #Like okay okay thats an exaggeration but do you get what I mean?#Usopp staying calm and collecting and making tough calls and getting back up again all without realizing-#-that he’s truly acting like the Captain he always wanted to be #thatd be so good. god i hope this upcoming arc hits harder than crack #one piece #elbaf #usopp #monkey d. luffy #strawhat pirates

In all the posts I’ve made for Jack Jeanne I know I haven’t spoken about Tsuki (Kisa’s currently MIA older brother who was the former big star at Univeil), and the game itself has surprisingly not given me much to work with yet. Maybe in another route or something? But I will say….there is one (stupid very stupid like holy shit this is crack territory and mostly a silly joke theory but also kinda sorta maybe makes some sense in a weird way?????) thought I have regarding Tsuki…

#story time with me #jack jeanne #jack jeanne spoilers #willow takes center stage at univeil #tummy has a strange crescent moon shape on his stomach #tsuki means moon in japanese #tummy randomly showed up in kisa’s house at the start of the game and is also oddly friendly with her for a wild animal when they interact #I’ve connected the dots!!!#anyone reading this nonsense: you didn’t connect shit #I’ve connected them!!! 😤😤😤#it’s sooooo out of place considering everything else about Jack Jeanne is so grounded in reality #but maybe???? I mean I know I’m still only on suzu’s route but for an animal I expected to be a mascot #tummy has been weirdly absent? I don’t know if he shows up more in other routes or something #but anyways like I said this is mostly a jokey for fun crack theory of mine #…..but if by some miracle it gets confirmed…..I FUCKING CALLED IT!!!

hai grandpa :3 how's it going these days?

Tired... But hanging in there. Tomorrow my 5th copy of Sir Gawain & The Green Knight (John Gardner translation) is supposed to deliver and, despite being 2 days behind on Soltober, there's only 7 days/drawings total left before I've completed it for the third year in a row. Chapter 1, part 2 of Lightning the Argent only has about 700 words left before the first draft is done, and I finally got my hands on some REALLY early Guilty Gear concept art scans (thanks Kat!!) that I'm going to translate here soon too.

I think my hormones are finally balancing back out again since getting the testosterone pellets put in, which is also nice. T's kind of a rowdy bastard at first not gonna lie haha

Thanks for asking!!

#asks #Sir Gawain & TGK is probably my favorite story ever and there are a lot of translations of it for real cheap #I didn't plan on getting 5 (or even 4 tbh lol) but I REALLY liked Grendel by John Gardner and was excited that he #did a translation of this story too. Really looking forward to reading his essay in the foreword #I want to make a Neocities shrine for this story lmfao Have it be the only page on my NC that isn't red hahah #Wonder if the Geocities gif archive on Wayback's got any Sir Gawain gifs...#Might have to just settle for generic knights and Green Men...#There's this one specific Sir Gawain illustration where he's got this GIANT mustache that cracks me up. It was on his Wikipedia for a bit #Not sure if it still is but I'd be surprised if they changed it

last day of childhood

[ALT ID: A digital illustration of a child at a festival, wearing a flower crown and waving a small sock-puppet type kite on a stick. An adult in dark armor is standing next to them, mostly out of frame except for a hand on the child's back. The child is looking over their shoulder and grinning.]

#this would be the day alir died (tho callebero wouldn't get the news till ~2 weeks later)#bc i think it's fun to kill alir on the most important holiday in arradine #anyway #this is a redraw of a very old VERY terrible drawing #and flipping between the two versions cracks me up so much #my god #i may still feel like shit about my art on the regular but at least i'm better than i was a few years ago!#my art #ch: callebero #baby baby callebero #story: tcp

Sometimes your silly OCxcannon pair from middle school remains a comfort pair after all those years. I thought there is a possibility that someone other than me and close friends would get a kick out of my recent Sesshomaru X Renoir (my oc) arts.

#my art #my ocs #sesshomaru #not gonna put this in the inu tag bc i don't want to clog it #the bottom left one is a parody manga cover i made to amuse myself.. it still cracks me up #i like angry and quiet asshole x mean clown asshole pairs #anyway follow ur dreams because my art of them from high school for sure did not look this good #Renoir has his own story with my other ocs of course but he very much has an origin of 'made to be pitted against smug bastards'#renoir who idealizes humans while hating supernatural things (while he is one) clashing with someone prideful of what they are is nice..#why is there a 14th century italian vampire running around in feudal japan? don't think about it. i'm here to be indulgent

Honestly The Dragon King might literally just be a very long allegory for anger issues

#i mean it's definitely a major part of it and mats's powers are very much Anger Issues Allegory #but i'm starting to think that's just what the whole story is about #like it's guy who has to figure out when being angry is right and that it's not all destructive sometimes it's productive #and also has to learn that he's not inherently broken but he does need to put in work to make himself better #still not sure where i'm going with it i need to contemplate it more but honestly this might be the move #the og dragonking that i wrote in 5th grade was very much Anger Issues and it was very much Not Dealing With Them #there are passages there that crack me up but also deeply concern me #perce rambles #dragonkingposting

regardless if it’s a timeskip or not i do think the new outfits signify a new chapter in their lives??? like in the case of bat:

kuukou’s still punk still monk lol but more importantly, he still has his sachihoko symbols on his haori thing. kuukou’s always changed the symbols on his coat whenever he gets a new one so it’s an important point!!! sachihoko are guardians to protect from storms so kuukou still has his protector/protection imagery

jyushi’s overcoat is still the same style but it is longer and darker and his outfit as a whole is grandiose lol like even more vkei, so i’d say this is jyushi’s final form a jyushi more true to himself and braver than ever before and ready to perform on his biggest stage yet

hitoya’s i’m not too sure actually lol but it reminds me a lot of his fit back when he helped out kuukou and jyushi. if that’s the angle then it might have him playing support for whatever he’ll be getting into as jakurai’s partner. also lends to his own knight imagery since that’s the period of time we see him as a defender

#this is vee speaking #i didn’t have the bandwidth to actively think about rosho’s glasses #but it struck me as closure for rosho and i read a thread yesterday that filled in the blanks for me lol #rosasa back at again with their self contained story lol #rio i’m kinda excited for lol he took off the uniform!!!!!!! is his war about to be over??????#gentaro took off two elements of his outfit i think?????? like that black coat is gone and so is his turtleneck!!!!!#he’s opening up y’all 🥹🥹🥹#what’s cracking me up about jiro’s fit is that he’s wearing that plaid button shirt UNBUTTONED #AND UNDERNEATH his usual black shirt like bruh lmao #ichiro!!!!!!! is back in black and red!!!!!!!! he’s back in his tdd era colours where he actively wanted power!!!!!!#similarly samatoki is back in leather!!!!!!! (MY LONGEST YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII EVER)#he wore aloha shirts after the tdd timeskip and i’ve always been of the opinion he’s wearing comfort clothes since he’s been that depressed #so maybe now that nemu’s okay and thriving!!!!!! he can be a leather baby/daddy again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#juto and red has always been a Thing the brain just hasn’t ever made the connection with why red’s important to juto and i’m sad ☹️☹️☹️#he looks good but i still don’t know what red means to him ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️#ramuda in posse yellow ;w; his beret is rly cute too he wore a hat during the tdd era and i feel like that’s the trend with tdd #they’ve rediscovered their purpose from back then 🤔🤔🤔#and so with sensei uhhhhhh well it’s certainly the brightest version of his clothes yet 😭😭😭#he’s peak happy by this point maybe and i do wish that for him lol #anyone else i didn’t mention i’m still thinking on lol

Sometimes I'm surprised that monster hunter isn't more popular among the creature design and spec evo corners of tumblr, at least the portions that also play video games, and then I remember that it's just about as hard as soulsborne games (I'd argue some specific entries are even harder) but doesn't have any of the atmospheric or story elements to attract people. It gets by on sheer gameplay alone and isn't a pvp game either. There is no way to make the game easier besides picking one of the less mechanically complex weapons and git gud. If it wasn't for the neat dinosaurs I couldn't think of a game less alluring to the average tumblr user

#a lot of other games it's a combination of escaping into another world with stuff like immersion and story #monster hunter as an ip adamantly refuses to elaborate about the world it takes place in #there is no overarching story and there's basically no lore with few exceptions e.g. fatalis but even that's really barebones #mh is just like. you're a hunter. now go kick the shit out of dinosaurs with your giant guts sword #there have been a lot of memes over the years about how it also doesn't have a tutorial it just expects you to figure it out #it has extensive ''explain how this works'' popups but they only exist for certain mechanics #and somehow half the time manage to communicate nothing of use #but actually important stuff like ''how do i use this weapon'' are not explained ANYWHERE within the game itself #and it has some of the most complicated mechanics i've ever seen in a real-time combat game i.e. charge blade and hunting horn pre rise #it just does the equivalent of giving you a gun you need a master's degree to operate at full potential and throws you to the wolves #and if you try to naively look up how some of the weapons work you get multi-page hard-to-parse essays #i STILL don't know how hunting horn works pre-rise because every time i try to read a guide my eyes glaze over #like there are perhaps few other franchises more unfriendly to an ''easy mode my beloved''-type person #not to rag on those people. there's nothing wrong with that but some games are just NOT going to work with you in that way #i pretty much only like it because i'm unfortunately a Tryhard Gamer #and the feeling of being a small human killing a dragon god by sheer skill and willpower is like crack cocaine to me #i would be more frustrated by mh's lack of any lore to speak of if it weren't for the gameplay injecting dopamine straight into my brain

What are good stories for the new gods. And sorry for my last and my mind just thinks stuff randomly sometimes sorry

Don't worry at all, always happy to give comic recs! Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to read the Forever People miniseries I hadn’t read yet to see if they were worth recommending. They were not.

Please keep in mind that this is not a reading list, but rather a rec list of New Gods comics I’d consider good. Unfortunately that’s mostly Mister Miracle. Please pour one out for the Forever People and their complete lack of good comics aside from their debut.

Of course, the original fourth world trilogy — The New Gods (1971), The Forever People (1971), and Mister Miracle (1971) — forms your base and is required reading. (Kirby's run on Mister Miracle ends after #18, and that's when you should stop reading because Englehart's Mister Miracle sucks.)

Others are:

The Hunger Dogs, a graphic novel continuation of the New Gods by Jack Kirby. Kirby was forced to cancel the comic prematurely and this wraps up some (though sadly not all) loose ends, although likely not in the way that was originally intended. Better ending than the original, imo, though far from perfect.

Orion, the only Orion solo run to date and one of my favourite comics of all time. Truly can't overstate how good this one is.

Justice League of America #183-185 isn't solely about the New Gods but I really like Scott and Barda in it. Pre-crisis.

Mister Miracle Special, a oneshot that was intended to re-establish the Mister Miracle canon post-crisis, but really ended up just being a stand-alone story. My favourite Scott outside of the original series.

Mister Miracle (1989) is Scott's second and longest running solo. I have my issues with it, but it's still very much worth reading.

Mister Miracle and the Source of Freedom is a post-flashpoint Shilo Norman miniseries. Again, I have my issues with it, primarily my hatred of N'vir Free as a character concept, but it's a very interesting take on Shilo and has by far my favourite Thaddeus Brown and Oberon.

Also, I’ll rec the Jack Kirby 100th Celebration Collection, which is exactly what it sounds like. As in all collections, the writing varies between stories, and I recommend some but not others, so here’s a quick overview of the New Gods-centric stories in it:

The first one, about Shilo Norman and the Black Racer (unsure of the name), I really can’t recommend because I absolutely loathe its take on the Black Racer. While it keeps to the letter of the canon established by Kirby, I do not feel like it keeps to the spirit. The little ‘Soul of Willie Walker’ blurb by Mark Evanier that precedes it is interesting, though.

The second story, The Resistance!, I very much do recommend! I really adore this story, focusing on resistance efforts on Apokolips, because I feel like it’s one of the few post-Kirby stories that actually does a good job engaging with the fascism Darkseid and Apokolips represent. This story is essentially a better version of the one from the New Gods Secret Files, which I don’t necessarily recommend because it’s far too sloppy to actually be good, but it’s not bad either, so you know, it gets a mention.

The third New Gods story, focusing on Orion (I also don’t know this one’s name), is like, fine? It does that thing where they make specifically Orion xenophobic towards the Bugs, rather than the entirety of New Genesis, which I strongly dislike, but aside from that its characterization is decent and it focuses on Kalibak and Orion, so if you like that dynamic this might appeal to you more than me.

The fourth New Gods story, Teeth of the See: A Tale of Young Orion, I do recommend. It’s short and quickly read, but it’s a fun look at an adventure from a younger, less experienced Orion.

#my posts #fourth world #orion #scott free #forever people #also i haven't read all of the New Gods solos #I know I read Conway's but I barely remember it aside from finding it both amusing and baffling for its blatant lying about previous stories #like it didn't just get facts wrong. it got facts obviously and deliberately wrong and lied to you about them #one that stands out to me is when it said Darkseid kidnapped Dreamer because she had the anti-life equation #which is blatantly and obviously wrong! this is immediately apparent when you read the Forever People!#but dear lord did they stand by it #anyway I think that was Conway's run. I'm not even entirely sure. it wasn't awful I don't think but it wasn't very good either #anyway I also didn't read mark evanier's run bc the first issue was like. bad. one panel made the new gods look like they were posing for an #album cover #evanier did do pretty great work on the jack kirby 100th celebration collection so maybe i should give it another shot #but that panel still cracks me up so idk #then the new gods (1984) appears to just be kirby's run??? idk what's up with that #and then new gods (1995) is quite literally unreadable before byrne takes over and after that it's still really bad!#so yeah. f to the new gods none of these ppl can get a good comic unless their name is scott free and even then he's on thin ice
