I was still debating it by second episode, but now I’m 100% positive.

The characters are absolutely based on the main crew of The Wizard of Oz.

Malcolm is the Tin Man (metal arm, family works in munitions).

Edgar is the Scarecrow (tall, spindly, has burns on his body)

Leo is the Lion (cowardly, foppish, literally named after a lion)

Grimoria is Dorothy, a little girl desperately trying to find a home.

#so that makes Atia the Wicked Witch of the East #corpse that kickstarts the narrative #so is Declan the Wizard??#is Zora Glinda??#this is FASCINATING #critical role #cr spoilers #candela obscura

The firmament glimpsed in a reflected moon

"You needn't fret, nor should you feel like you have to change your own habits. But you should know that genuine understanding can only be found, not sought. A true companion is someone who can read your 'signals.'"

— Arlecchino

◆ Name: Lynette

◆ Title: Elegance in the Shadows

◆ "Multi-Function Magic Assistant"

◆ Vision: Anemo

◆ Constellation: Felis Alba

In their little team of three at the Hotel Bouffes d'ete, Lynette plays an essential role in making sure that their work runs smoothly. When Lyney's bold nature clashes with Freminet's cautiousness, instead of taking sides, Lynette stands back and analyzes the situation in a calm and collected manner. She resolves their disputes by helping them find a middle ground.

She's generally very quiet and is in the habit of constantly observing other members of her "family." If Lyney accidentally cut his finger in the middle of a performance, or Freminet suddenly looked downcast, Lynette would make a mental note of it. When she had a suitable opportunity, she'd be there with a bandage or a cup of tea.

She loves her "family" and her "family" love her. Waking up by the fireplace, she's become accustomed to the familiar sight of Lyney at the table practicing card tricks and Freminet cleaning the living room. It was in such a moment that she suddenly realized how long it had been since the memory of those sleepless nights of fearful anticipation had vanished — just like a lump of coal that had burned itself into oblivion.

demon catshark 👉👈

DYK…

demon catshark is a catshark of the family Scyliorhinidae found only in deep water in the East China Sea. its length is up to 40 cm.

demon catsharks conservation status is least concern and the reproduction of this catshark is oviparous

demon catsharks don’t actually have a lot of information about them online :(

My family have a ling tradition of 'typing' the newborns. This includes blankets, clothes ect with the colour of a specific pokemon type.

With this typing we get a pokemon to grow up along side, I was a 'water type' baby and grew up along side Queenie who is now a gorgeous Gyrados!

-@ask-pokeprofvoid

I like this way better than normal "boy/girl" colours that parents usually stick their kids with! That's super sweet you get to grow up alongside a 'mon - that kind of bond is irreplaceable!

Do you know how the tradition picks types for each newborn👀 (or young child, depending on when you get the type assigned)? Is it like, a certain order or is it just vibes?

Give Queenie a big hug and a PokéTreat from me! She sounds wonderful!!

"The infrastructural properties of the Folkhemmet are often taken for granted, and not in need of protection. Yet, the public values of openness, affordability of connection and universal access to infrastructure can make societies susceptible to developments that not only undermine public values, but can create problems that we are not prepared to handle. While Big Tech leverages existing public infrastructures, the promises of progress might turn out to be limiting of local development. If we do not take this seriously, tomorrow we might not have lost only public values of the welfare state, but also access to much of the basic infrastructures which we rely on – like electricity, local economies and the trust in our own institutions."

Keith signaling Charlie to end a song (1997)

#this is fascinating #I’ve heard Keith (and Ronnie for that matter) mention the non-verbal communication they engage in on stage a lot #but it’s something entirely different to actually see it #the rolling stones #charlie watts #keith richards #old married band #mick jagger #the married trio #gif

I’m seeing a student prod of Hamlet and (at least tonight? Maybe they have multiple casts?) Hamlet’s played by a mezzo. Have you seen this before?? Do people do this?? My theory is that they just have a good mezzo and maybe not a good enough baritone?? Also this place did Cendrillon in the fall and I feel like Hamlet and Le Prince Charmant are similar. Idk

the thomas hamlet?

if so, FASCINATING choice and i am intrigued 👀 (no, i have never seen that done nor have i heard of that being done, although iirc there is an alternate version where hamlet is a tenor)

I love this argument that Julian and Garak are having about Earth vs Cardassia political styles and I especially love that Garak is like. shocked at how impassioned he is about this topic

#star trek: ds9 #a stitch in time #julian bashir #elim garak #this is JUICY #this is fascinating #fascinating fascinating fascinating #like. yes of course Julian is all for Earth democracy and he wants Cardassia to follow in that #but more importantly he wants GARAK to follow in that #he keeps trying to convince Garak to come to Earth!! and this is established as being a recurring thing #and I love that Garak is VERY resistant to this #obviously the way this is presented is clouded by Garak's own annoyance but this does track with Julian as a character #where he thinks he has the solution and he's confident about it but he doesnt have all the context #so of course he thinks democracy would solve Cardassia's political problems #and sure yes Cardassia at this point does very much need a change in its political systems #but the way Julian explains it- as written in this section- comes across as incredibly condescending #and I LOOOOOVE that Garak is pissed about it!!#because while I think Garak sees that things on Cardassia need to change- what would Julian know about it?#what would Julian TRULY know?#so hearing him confidently explain that the answer is Earth and Federation-style democracy #like it's just that easy #no wonder he gets pissed!#because he cares! he cares about Cardassia and his people so much it hurts!#and being reminded of this takes him by surprise!#especially that he's mad at Julian of all people #I love this insight into how he views him and Julian as having drifted apart #I did not read it like that in the show itself #god I cant wait to rewatch with this in mind

I come with an update: I discovered last night that some of you were not in fact joking about hearing your thoughts. I’m not sure how to describe how I think, but it’s not auditory or pictures/visualization. What a wild time I’m having this week, all sorts of discoveries occurring at this time

..............I have literally never thought about this before. I guess I do hear my thoughts, and I "hear" when I'm reading as well. But it's always in my own voice; I can never make the voice in my head sound like anything else. So even if I'm reading a character with an accent, and even if I KNOW what that accent sounds like.........nope, can't make it happen.

On a completely unrelated note to everything we have been talking about, were you aware that raccoons cannot have bread

I was not! That is very interesting

Were you aware that raccoons and dogs can pass certain diseases back and forth?
