Lime has a "Fish Fear Me" shirt.

Taffy and his Bass Pro Shop hat.

... And Oscar struggles to join the fishing gear club with his Nessie hoodie.

"IT COUNTS"

oscar has the one fishing hat with the hella long visor that has like a fish poem written on it or whatever

jokes aside oscar is the only one out of the three of them (and the whole guild) who actually DOES go fishing regularly. so lime and taffy pop in wearing these stupid fucking hats and he goes "You know nothing of true fishing culture." with a very "Hah...pathetic." anime tone

#what if oscar had a fishing family #its his name right after all #bass pro shops but instead its a funny off-brand name in tcwg so we call it salmon pro shops #and then oscars family fucking owns it #timeskip: (oscar how did you buy a house?) (oh you know...you just work hard!) and his uncle owns salmon pro shops

Lalapril - 2 - season

Contrary to popular belief, Moku is not capable only of killing things. Sometimes he cooks the things he kills.

#ffxiv #ffxiv lalafell #lalapril #lalapril 2024 #moku shiroku #I think I made him too cute in these photos but oh well #a look of grim determination probably would be more on brand #but no one’s around so maybe he can relax a little? #Bylti is almost an omnicrafter but she does not fish or cook bc that’s moku’s department #and bc she’s not allowed to cook for Reasons.

then there's only one choice left...

puncture the bottle with something and drink out of it like a barbarian

If that's not possible then

get stronger

I really can't tell you much

-🦖

*cough cough* I rarely have this kind of problem cuz I usually have one of the strongest grip strengths among the girls that I've ever been classmates with cough cough*

Honestly contemplating that but I’m probably going to accidentally stab myself 😨

I’ll try again later in the morning, when my hand is no longer red and I regain my “strength.” But until then I will just drink my ice cube water and sulk :(

#🫧feeding the fishes #🦖 anon #btw #the type of iced tea I wanted to open #is the same brand that made me think that this was what it was like being pussydrunk #because the iced tea is so good

PSA- Always quarantine your new fish, mutuals.

See the tags for a lovely late night rant because I’m stressed the fuck out 💃🏾

#I have a lovely 20 gallon tank in my room #it has kuhli loaches and shrimp and otocinclus #a clown poach I never see named Marvin #and two peacock gudgeons #one of which I got recently #one that I should have quarantined but didn’t because I’m lazy and didn’t think I’d need to #because I’ve never had issues with not quarantining fish before #but I got this fish from work and we’ve been dealing with ich #and I realized the day after I got her that the tank she came from had mollys that were infected 🙃 #a couple days later she has it too #for those that don’t know #ich is a VERY contagious parasite in fish #and it will eventually kill your fish if left untreated #I’ve never dealt with it before so I’m stressed tf out and just spent almost the last of my money for a top recommended medication #to tray and treat it #I could have gotten a cheaper brand but #I don’t want to risk killing any of my more sensitive fish and my shrimp because I will cry if that happens #I could treat it by turning up the temperature in my tank to like 86 degrees f #but that could ALSO potentially kill my fish/shrimp #so expensive medication was the best option #I’ve been thinking about just taking this tank down tbh #I feel like there’s always something going wrong with it from this to filters breaking to a snail infestation #but I’m not giving up yet #unless something dies #then I’ll be giving up on it 🥲 #tag rant #personal #fish keeping #I meant clown loach* not poach

actually the mecha having holoavatars and using them to just be is amazing actually

#i think so much about tfp au Megatron and Optimus using their HAs to like. go do stuff together and be affectionate in public #arcee using hers to be in the parts of the house her frame can't be in #we see blades in canon use his for the off brand boyscouts thing but i think in the tfp au the rescue bots can use them for so much more #swindle using his to. well. swindle rich humans (and possibly make deals with Madeline Pynch) #... this mayyyyyy be inspired by the signature series😅 #i legitimately cannot believe such a useful au asset came from shitposts about fish marbles and megs throwing out his meds #tfp au #maccadam #transformers #dunno why i tossed this inti the drafts but it's just amazing

(So I originally wrote the following in a reply to the post screencaped above. I wanted to reblog this as the S3B is premiering in a couple days and I have major concerns over this potential plot direction. However OP blocked me for my reply and I can’t, however they’re my words so I will repost them as I see fit. Including the original post for context only, and I added some additional clarifying comments.)

…that would be pretty terrible, ngl.

Canon Radovid (in the games, he’s like 12 at the end of the books, although his future turn is hinted at) turns genocidal towards sorceresses and other non-humans both for political power, but also because of the festering resentment of the abuse, manipulations, and wrongs he sees him and father suffer at the hands of the sorceress Phillipa and Dijkstra, including his father’s assassination by an elf at the behest of Phillipa. Phillipa controls him throughout his teenage years. That hate festers in him for years until he grows up, and instead of simply getting revenge on those who personally harmed him and his family, he decides the only way to rule was with an iron fist, and turned that fist against all sorceresses, witches, magic-users and non-humans (both because he hates/fears them, but also for political gain, as these things tend to go). He encourages the non-human hate, uses humans superior numbers to overwhelm and destroy groups of non-humans and magic users. He’s relatively militarily adept too. He made sure of that, because he wanted revenge against Phillipa even as a boy. I don’t think the show would abandon everything that makes Radovid Radovid (but then again, Eskel...), I don’t think he’s just going to be Some Guy. So his sadistic bigotry towards and genocide against all non-humans and (most) human magic-users will come into play at some point. And if it does, his relationship with Jaskier will HAVE to factor in somehow, that’s unavoidable at this point. But should this theory OP mentions come to pass (and there is a good chance it might, I have been concerned about this since it the news leaked of who Jaskier would be paired up with), that would mean the show made a conscious choice to have adult Radovid turn villain…cause his boyfriend dumped him? His boyfriend of like a couple months chose his family of 20+ years over him, and that was enough to make him lose it and just start stabbing everything? Or cause he was angry that Jaskier was using him as a shield because Phillipa was threatening him? And Radovid, a grown ass man, cannot handle this? This would put a homosexual relationship at the core of a xenophobic campaign of witch-burning, be the catalyst of it. And they would put that on Jaskier’s shoulders? Because he dumped Radovid?

Why? What does this do but add cheap angst where it wasn’t needed? There is no need to A.) Start Radovid’s xenophobic hate campaign 15 years early (they have so many world-spanning plots they already can’t write well, why add more?), and B.) connect it directly to someone in the main core cast by having them be the inciting incident for Radovid. That’s unnecessary, that doesn’t offer any narrative improvement to the story at all (FFS, the world is bigger than Geralt, Yenn, Ciri, and Jaskier). And is this the reason Jaskier is now canonically bisexual? Was that the only reason they did that, just to make him the casus belli of a genocide? That really would not be the kind of queer rep anyone should praise, and by god, does it feels downright spiteful.

And to be clear, I don’t think every queer story has to be all sunshine and happiness or perfectly positive (something I’ve been accused of when criticizing questionable writing of gay/bi characters in the past). But there is a vast ocean of difference between “Sunshine and perfection” and “Hey! Let’s change this catalyst for this genocide from ‘Paranoid Fascist takes what should have been a beef between him and like 5 people, and turns it into a full scale witch-burning industry and non-human genocide, for both political gain and cause he’s a paranoid xenophobic fascist’ to 'gay prince super bummed his boyfriend dumped him’, and let’s make sure we wait to show the boyfriend as canonically bisexual until the last possible second, just so people wonder if that’s the only reason we even bothered ”. A vast fucking ocean.

I’m fine with adaptational changes that add to or improve the canon material, or are just different but stand strongly on their own. But this? Would be a terrible miserable hateful idea, and is just cheap writing for forced angst (and I honestly would not put it past the Witcher writers, which is the worst part).

How is this good? How would this an improvement? What does this add? How does this stand on it’s own? Why would they take a bloody campaign of witch-burning and genocide that had a believable catalyst already, and retcon it happening because of The Gays? Cause a dude dumped another dude? If they did this, the writers would have to consciously make the choice to change the catalyst of the genocide to ‘a gay guy was like super bummed that his boyfriend left him for a Witcher’. Do y'all see what that looks like?
