#the ides of march #ides of march #julius caesar #again I want to emphasize that ‘fact’ is in quotes especially when it comes to the ones implying he was a bottom #that was a common form of political slander #so while we can’t discount it entirely it’s also important to keep in mind that implying that about somebody was a common tool of slander #might be true or have truth in it #very very well may not #also the pirate story is so funny but I didn’t have room to elaborate more in the question #he would joke around with them like I’m gonna crucify you but turns it was not kn fact a joke #‘lol I’m gonna crucify you’ #smashcut #ostentatious might be a better word than slutty when it comes to the tunic thing but #slutty is funnier #it involved a loose girdle and long fringe

a lesson on good karma digimon survive week 2024 day 4: supporting characters

#digimon #gomamon #digimon survive #survive week #survive week 2024 #rambling ahead. you don't have to read the tags beyond bc there's nothing that important tbh... you can just look at the art... #exhausted from being out and doing housework yesterday. then got a last-minute job with very urgent deadline today #finished everything but yeah basically i did anything but art so #irl do be like that aint it #anyway it's been a long time since i played survive and my memory isn't that good #but i always remember the part where we had to protect the gomamon #and later they showed us a path via the dam allowing the team to continue exploring #it reminded me of just how important it is to be nice and do good things whenever and wherever possible #and be mindful with the not-so-good things you do and say #be it good or bad. karma is real even if you don't know when it will get back at you #and you know in visual novel settings. whatever choice you make really determines what happens later on #yeah believe it or not i end up thinking stuff like that by helping a bunch of adorable seal mons... #mmm i'm officially behind now so i might as well take my time while also rest a bit haha ;; #this week has been fun with survive week tho fr. even though i came in unprepared (when will i change) #gotta keep surviving #png

I get the appeal for Cregan and Jace, but I'm already nervous about how the fandom will treat Baela and her relationship with Jace as a result. Could both ships coexist? Yes, but this fandom has proven many times over that whenever a black person, specifically a black woman, is involved said ship is often overlooked or dismissed. This can be said for many of the ships in the show, which I've talked about, and Baela's treatment even outside of mentions of Cregan (I love Heleana, but it is not lost on me how some Jace/Hel shippers dismiss Baela). Like, this isn't the case for everyone, but enough for it to be very apparent. All in all, I just want the best for my girl Baela Targaryen.

#house of the dragon #hotd #baela targaryen #jacaerys velaryon #cregan stark #heleana targaryen #like idk the ship name for jace x baela but there's already one for hel and jace? hmm #and im not saying that you can't ship these characters with others but its very important to keep in mind how some #fandoms actions (whether purposely or not) often leave their black characters in the trenches (sometimes even villainizing or denying them #worth of love from said yte love interest) #hotd has this problem as can be seen with the ships (and fans) of daemyra & rhaenicent toward laena even if i ship the latter #u won't catch me ignoring how some fans treat laena so disrespectfully (and now her daughters) #keep it cute in the comments #there's a lot of antiblackness in fandom sadly 😔

Marius: Ashes, Ashes! Ivy got a cold while copying some old text from her brain to paper to add to the physical library. And she is still sick and still copying! You know what this means?

Ashes: That you're going to "help" her with your "doctor" skills and leave me alone?

Marius: Oh yeah.*eyes shinning* I can do doctor stuff. *crazy smille* *still grinning but with a serius voice*But it was not what I was trying to say, my original point was simply that right now Ivy is by definition an unhealthy copying mechanism.

Ashes: Give me one reason to not kill you right now?

#the mechanisms #baron marius von raum #i like marius felt very proud of this pun #also is important that in my mind the mechanisms are not named like that for the mechanisms keeping them alive and immortal #but because everyone of them have bad coping mechanisms #ashes o'reilly #ivy alexandria

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is really out there making me dive back into certain character hyperfixations from my earliest Pokémon fandom days. I haven't thought about these people in nearly a decade

The vintage blorbos are resurfacing

#pokémon #pokemon #pokemon legends za #pokémon legends z a #pokemon za #gym leader valerie #elite four malva #lumiose ghost girl #pokemon emma #trainer emma #I like Malva because I thought it was unsettling that Diantha accidentally hired this literal Team Flare admin as an Elite Four member #Like... Team Flare controls the media in Kalos via Malva censoring their involvement in stuff. What the fuck #I like Valerie because she has a Sylveon and is the OG Fairy Trainer. And according to the anime she can talk/understand Pokémon like Nwhic #Also she's a seamstress so I get to project my sewing/plush making hobby onto her. #Valerie has 100s of plushies in her room can't change my mind #Lumiose Ghost Girl being my Baby's First Edgy Creepy Fandom speculation thing #Emma because of her backstory+ being a gang leader + adopted by Looker + Xerosic puppeting her inside a robotic suit to steal Pokémon #Then Looker gives her the detective agency and she gets to keep the suit so now she's A SUPERHUMAN CRIME FIGHTER DETECTIVE AND IT'S SO COOL #Superhero in Poké-France? What is this Miraculous Ladybug? #Also she's got an Espurr called Mimi. That's very important

How bout some spicy D&D drama today?

Geshtu and Hopp’s edgy dnd characters: Ilawela and Atlas

Atlas belongs to @ickyguts

#valentines sweep day 8 #happy tree friends #htf #htf be brave #htf geshtu #Htf hopps #ilawela #atlas #Htf ocs #I am quite proud of this art too #and this is a fun twist on the style to play around with from time to time #VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ILAWELA DYMAMIC IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE HOPPTU DYNAMIC #their dnd characters have SO MUCH DRAMA #Geshtu I about the same but HOPPS #Hopps character projects a lot of his insecurities by contrasting him #Geshtu though gets some self reflection of his own morality through the story #problem is he has a hard time separating fiction from reality and has to be pulled out when he’s in too deep #atlas is an arrogant selfish bastard who often acts without thinking #but damn is he a good rogue #then there’s Ilawela who thinks TOO much and puts himself on a pedestal #rigid board of a man #but damn is he a powerful warlock #when these two work together it’s terrifying for anyone who opposes them #they make a scary good team when they aren’t bickering

i really think, when talking about voting/parties/etc, we need to be talking about Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, which would undermine checks and balances and consolidate a lot more power under the president if a conservative, Trump or not, is voted into power. Please check the website. It's pretty much a roadplan to a fascist regime.

#project 2025 #this isn't a 'why is no one talking about this?' because a lot of people are talking about it #i mean the NYT released an article on it and i think rachel maddow talked about it too iirc #i just....haven't seen a lot about it on here and it's something that i think people should be aware of if they're not already #and i think that it's very important to keep things like this in mind when talking about 'both parties are bad'

SOUNIN?? GOJYOU DAN??? RAIZOU COOL ARC?? MAIN TRIO? SHENANIGANS? WOWZAAA #i think amako made a comment once about how raizou has a lot of potential. or how the intuition skill he was trying to develop this episode #is super key. but i love thinking about raizou....i believe in his shounen protag training arc. i want to see him become an awesome six yea #fun fact this drawing is supposed to be matchy matchy with my saburou drawing from last august but the different in style ERM #asmr i smack colors around on the canvas for three straight hours #my evil twisted wish for a raizou episode is i get to see him and koheita interact bc i think theyre great maybe unintentional? parallels #koheitas very intuitive and i think hes actually really good at reading important things subconsciously. seeing thru the disguised senzou i #the 5th v 6th years arc splitting a rock in two maybe the sports comp where he figures out the clue for the scavenger hunt but hes also #kind of smart in general. but hes also really good at disregarding detail that isnt immediately relevant so hes hard to keep up with #but raizous super attentive which kind of paralyzes him decision wise but he figures out how to put that to advantage? im not great at this #i made him a page of mind for a reason. he has potential!! also i love sounin....

@trachymedusa replied to your post “raphael casually laying out the actual...”:

But Raphael said that he owes Astarion a favor! Surely Astarion can use that as leverage to negotiate better terms for himself somehow. HE USED TO BE A MAGISTRATE

​I think it's a mistake to assume that Astarion is anywhere on the same level as Raphael for negotiation power. One has been alive for thousands of years and lives and breathes contracts, the other was a Magistrate for a proportionately short period of time and then was tortured, brainwashed and a slave for like 200 years.

Astarion can certainly negotiate better terms for himself if he wants, but Raphael will likely only allow him one better term, and there's certain things in the second contract that are completely unavoidable (i.e. Astarion cannot access the sun if he does not perform these things he won't want to do, it's literally part of the Rite).

But it's always important to keep in mind, imho, that this is still very much an experienced torturer with thousands of years of experience with contracts, vs. Astarion, who has more experience being a torture victim, and has more time under his belt as a torture victim. Their power differential is huge, and they'll never be equals, favour or not. It's tempting to think Astarion has significant leverage, but he only has whatever section of rope Raphael allows him for the most part.

The favour will make things more fun though, which is why Raphael offered it lol

#trachymedusa #palmarosa #thespectaclesofthor #but honestly the *most* important thing to keep in mind is that raphael is a devil #this is not going to become a fair or equal relationship #that doesn't mean some things won't improve #but other things will not improve at all #torture is part of raphael's lifeblood #(sort of) #it is at least very much something he feeds off #there is no world where he offers astarion a 'live in my HoH for a while' style contract #that does not involve agony on some level #and no favour in the world can erase that

With over 60K members, the workers of the Service Employees International Union Local 1021 in NorCal recently voted to pass a resolution condemning the Israeli genocide in Gaza and promising to push reps further for a ceasefire.

#This may seem flaccid to some but keep in mind when working in an org and esp such a large one it is very important to keep documentation #especially of big votes like this. votes that can be used to justify further action. #very nice that with 60K folks they did not fall to the 'condemn hamas' bullshit #also inb4 'when will they get out in the streets then' check out who's marchin in that first photo. more than most.
