#this is a joke don’t take me too seriously

[yuesya]

Seriously, what kind of introduction is that?!

This is Zenin Shiki, my murderous clan head.

Sumire gives Toji a look. Has he finally lost his mind?!

… Except… the thick-headed man clearly doesn’t seem to think there’s anything wrong at all with what he just said. Which only feeds into Sumire’s exasperation with him. Yes, she’d known that Toji’s family situation was rather complicated, but he’d spoken fondly of his young clan head, hadn’t he? So why would he go and say something like this?

“Your kill count is higher than mine,” Zenin Shiki’s voice is cool and measured. Factual, and with no particular inflection in her tone.

Sumire blinks. The young clan head doesn’t… seem to be offended…?

“Yeah, ‘cuz I’m older than you,” Toji responds, with a note of something akin to amusement in his tone. “Oh, I’m planning to take Sumire’s surname, too. She’s not marrying into the Zenin Clan.”

“Okay.”

Sumire’s jaw drops open. The girl just– just like that–?!

“Shiki-sama!” Unlike the white-haired girl who remains completely unmoved, the other man in the room with them sounds appalled. “Even despite his– his… brashness, Zenin Toji is a member of the main family. Something like this is ridiculous, you cannot possibly allow–”

“I can allow what I want.”

“This isn’t proper,” the man insists. “The Zenin Clan would be ruined if all its members marry out like this! And to a woman? You need to reconsider this.”

“I don’t care for keeping sorcerers who don’t want to be here,” Shiki states boredly. “And if none of the Zenin Clan’s members wish to remain with the clan, then it’s better off disbanded anyways.”

“But–!”

“If you have a problem with any of my decisions,” the girl continues, “Then issue an official challenge to replace me.”

The man’s face turns red, then white. Eventually, he lowers his head. “… Surely you jest, Shiki-sama.”

“It’s not a joke. You’re welcome to try if you think you can kill me.” Despite the chilling contents of those words, the girl sounds utterly unconcerned. But is it confidence, or apathy? “… Or if you don’t mind dying, I suppose.”

The man splutters incoherently.

Sumire, on the other hand, can only gape at the young girl. Even though Toji had mentioned a bit of what his young clan head was like to her before, she still finds herself dumbstruck by what’s playing out in front of her eyes.

“See? Told you that you didn’t need to worry about anything,” Toji nudges her gently, then turns towards the white-haired girl again. “You don’t mind that I’m discarding the Zenin name and marrying a civilian, right?”

“Your romantic pursuits are not my concern,” Shiki responds blandly as she returns to her paperwork. There is a brief moment as she writes down a few lines on the paper in front of her, and then sets the document aside. “… Congratulations, Toji.”

“Thanks,” Toji grins. “So, can I expect an expensive wedding gift?”

“Toji, what in the world do you think you’re saying–”

The girl lifts her gaze again, ignoring the other man entirely. “Am I getting a wedding invitation?”

“Well, duh?” Toji gives the girl a look that’s usually only reserved for idiots. “‘Course you are.”

“… Then yes.” Shiki reaches out for a different pen, and starts writing on another document. “I’ll bring a very expensive wedding gift.”

“Nice.”

Sumire looks between her smug-looking cousin, his calm-faced clan head… and the sole person who appears to have many protests, who wears an expression that makes it seem as if he wants to turn around and bash his head against the wall.

… Despite the fact that the other man is clearly against Toji marrying her like this, somehow Sumire can’t help but feel pity for him in this moment.

Shoutout to Rei, whose genes were so strong that all four of her kids ended up pretty despite their father looking like a toe

If DC wants to keep pushing out different types of Gotham War comics for every year, they may as well make a Gotham Batman Ships war next year. They get to make light fun of their fans. Batman is spread all over somewhat romantically like hummus. They get to bring in different heroes and Gotham villains to fight reluctantly (they don’t want the Batman they just want the honor). The batkids get to sit cute on the sidelines and laugh at their dad’s misery. It’s fun

#as a batlantern fan I would find satisfaction in Hal floating through Gotham wondering why he’s even here lmao #but it’s all fun and games for me until I have to serve for batlantern 😔 #for anyone who takes this seriously… tis a joke #the batkids will actually have to do something when Superman takes the lead #they rally behind Wonder Woman but jason betrays them #she’s too good for that stinky rich man #bruce wayne #batman #dc #batlantern #superbat #brutalia #wonderbat #ghostbat #batcat #I don’t know the ship names for the others like two face and the riddler or something #so just pretend I tagged all the Gotham rogues that have shown interest #except for batjokes or whatever they call that ship #that one can choke #I guess they can be the giant storm that brings everyone together in the end #and no batcest either

My problematic media literacy habit is that I think any fictional 15 year old should be allowed to do literally whatever they want. Oh you attempted regicide. Well you’re not old enough for a driver’s license so whatever floats your boat buddy

#any media: this person is a murderer #me: that person is 12 #anyway sorry I just remembered on one of my old Varian posts someone tagged it like ‘but of course I don’t condone his actions’ #well I do actually #this is also why I can’t get on the Miguel train he is antithetical to my views #once again this is a joke post don’t take it too seriously #text

No, the durge doesn’t count as an origin character they’re customizable. No, I will not be accepting criticism.

Fooling around with procreate and screenshots, I was like “what if Karlach let’s her hair grow longer?

Then I did this doodlito.

And it ended up that’s MY hair lol. I bet hers would be slightly more wavy and certainly more messy. And with the added little braids and shit, Karlach style ❤️‍🔥

This looks like it’s after she went to the hairstylist for a blow out LOL I’m so sorry haha

I’d fix but my Apple Pencil ran out of battery so.

I know I default to neutral/stoic/RBF, but I’m not actually as emotionless as people seem to think I am, and it really hurts that people I think of as friends keep saying hurtful shit to me when they think they’re being funny. Just making really inappropriate jokes, completely unprompted, that really just feel like digs at me. Maybe I’m being too sensitive, but when I’m completely excluded from a conversation, minding my own business on my phone, and then someone only involves me to make a snide little comment as a “joke”? Fucking sucks.

#cookie speaks #and then they get mad at me when I don’t laugh/play along #I don’t call anyone out #I don’t draw attention to the fact that I’m hurt #but even these people are smart enough to realize that a little oh : / #is not a good sign #ofc then I’m the killjoy taking everything too seriously #like I’m sorry I didn’t like that you insulted me? #I don’t like mean jokes from friends #I’m not that kind of person #it makes me feel bad

It was so cute how excited the cupbros were to see each other again. Like they were so happy they squealed. Twice.

Also, it was nice to see some genuine apologies and gratitude after a handful of episodes with the brothers at each other’s throats.

When comedies are done well, the more serious or sentimental moments feel all the more emotional because they stand out. And I definitely feel like that’s the case here — throughout a lot of this episode, really.

Anyway, I care bout them. little scrunklies

#idk they’re cute and their bond w chalice is really cute too #i loved all the hugs and wholesomeness in these batch of episodes #the cuphead show #cuphead #mugman #ik some ppl didn’t like how this ep ended w a gag #but i don’t feel like it cheapened anything. maybe cause that’s what i expected to happen? lol #it’s a silly show. you’re not supposed to take everything that happens seriously #i didn’t go into this show expecting to really care about these characters beyond the comedy they provide #so I’m pleasantly surprised every time it manages to tug on my heart strings a bit #cartoons exaggerate a lot. they take that ‘I’m so angry i could strangle you’ feeling and make it literal #but even though the cupbros have attempted to like violently injure each other #w cartoon violence #i never once doubt that they love each other #i never feel like they don’t #so you know like kudos to the team for pulling that off and making me care about these characters beyond their wacky jokes #ig is what I’m saying

hey can you post this for the "WhatsApp group asking" anon? The one asking for a gf to cook cuddle n do cute stuff with...

Hi

I'm more that a non-binary tho... might give me a chance? I'm single n want those stuff too so if you want to... y'know... being spoiled with love n treated like you're a princess... cuddle n do cute stuff all day... then please consider giving me a chance

Actually, it's up to all the single sapphlings around

Please someone date me (yearning hard today, I know)

-💫

You’re very sweet and as always I’m rooting for you and hope you get to meet someone soon :)

However, I’m really really sorry but as a general PSA for everyone I would really prefer if people didn’t do this here. I probably sound like your like 90 year old aunt or something but I get really extra paranoid about internet safety and the idea of sending a bunch of completely anonymous people someone else’s way in that capacity kind of freaks me out. The only reason I was willing to post this ask at all was because it was still on anon honestly. There’s nothing wrong with meeting people online but I do think a certain level of caution should be used and idk sending a bunch of random people to another random person’s blog to all ask to date them feels Not Great to me.

Again I’m really really sorry and yall are all very sweet and I’m obviously not like upset or anything and maybe it’s a weird boundary for me to have but I am going to stick to it, I’m still fine with 90% of asks just not ones where I would potentially be sending a bunch of strangers someone else’s way in that sort of capacity😓

#asks #im sorry #i really don’t want you to feel bad about this or anything #my blog is like the opposite of a dating service #it’s like the singles rest area where we all go to complain and take a nap #no action here❌ #just the internet can be really dangerous! #and i think meeting and talking to people through the internet is fun but again i prefer to use a lot of caution #like i get nervous being responsible for my own internet safety at times #being responsible for multiple other peoples too?? i think id go crazy with anxiety #again im really so sorry and i promise im not mad or upset #this ask just made me really nervous and im really freaked out by the idea of more people doing this sort of thing here #like i said it mostly as a joke earlier but seriously im not a dating service #and while i hear their security sucks a lot of the time #it’s still probably better than some random 23 year old on the internet that you know next to nothing about #💫

so.

I had a thought.

you know that off-hand line about witches eating babies being “sooo 1683?”

so, maybe BI time works differently, but I think that was… around the time when Phillip came through the portal?

so he kinda stumbled into a society where eating babies was a thing?

and we blame him for being freaked out?

#It might just have been a joke by Eda to freak Luz out but ON THE OTHER HAND- #KNOWING THE BI- #don’t take me too seriously #phillip wittebane

Sony please release your cruel and un-creative grip on my autism creature game series. I beg of you. Let them at least start naming the series innuendos again… PLEASE. I’m sorry the Future series ever even got released at this point PLEASE go back to the old ways I beg you‼️

#ratchet and clank #the talkinator 2000 #I say this as someone who’s first game from the series I watched was Tools of Destruction and who’s first game I played was A Crack in Time #if all it led to was the series getting turned into the next ‘plays like it’s a Pixar game’ bullshit #I would have never wanted them 😭 #like this SUCKS man. the old ratchet and clank was full of so much personality it feels like the new ones are a corporate PARODY of it #let them name the games stupid dick jokes again. I KNOW it’s sony doing this. PLEASE #STOP MAKING RATCHET SO SERIOUS. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY #to be clear I’m not saying what makes the old games good is all the dirty jokes. #but I WILL say the dirty jokes prevent the series from taking itself too seriously #which it has started to do. #man at this point I don’t give a shit about the Lombaxes! give me another evil capitalist to throw into the moon!! #and the ‘last of their kind’ trope really is getting milked for all its worth and I’m tired of it!! #clank’s ‘chosen one’ trope story had more creativity man!! #alister was like the one spark of life in the lombax thing and then it went straight to bland again #the main characters don’t NEED this to be interesting. they don’t need greater than themselves destinies. #ratchet and clank and the other characters are interesting and fun without that!! #the thing I always liked is that Ratchet is the gun happy mechanic and Clank is the quipping impulse control with the hero alignment #the hero thing rubs off on Ratchet and he does start being a hero with Clank but it’s not his first instinct lol #also extremely sad that the reboot took away the running joke that Clank is the one getting the glory for their heroics #they don’t have a destiny reason for getting into the hero thing. they just got started and liked it and kept going #a lot of the times neither of them even WANTS to be involved they just get roped in!! #like you can do some background shit for them but throwing out all the rest that makes these characters fun to focus on it isn’t the answer #man I just. miss the fun and weird stuff they used to do with the characters and cast and places #they still do big environments but there isn’t other fun wacky shit to match #it’s just ‘destiny’ and heroism. that was never the point of this series 😭
