#where is my evidence you ask?

[chirpsythismorning]

When you tell a milkvan that they used the score Eulogy (a song they notably use when a character is mourning a beloved characters' death) during Mike and El's fight in s4.

#byler #stranger things #like how can that be good? #how can that not be the epitome of bad news #if that happened to byler #i would wholeheartedly go out of my way to send other bylers #we lost #asks #bc we would deserve it #i've said it before and i'll say it again #i don't ship byler bc it's cute or bc it's two boys #i simply think all signs point to it #if i didn't i wouldn't be here #if i saw even half as much evidence supporting the possiblity of milkvan #i wouldn't be here #it's getting to a point where they're having to deny hundreds upon hundreds of things happening #in order to subscribe to milkvan #with the most superficial arguments imaginable #not only did they play a death song during el and mike's fight #they followed it up with mike saying it was a fight that you can't come back from?... #like let these bones rest in peace #let them mourn the death of their relationship #and move on #and be better off and happier for it

For the headcanons game, perhaps an AU where when Eobard goes to kidnap Eddie in s1, Barry gets to that bridge just a teeny bit quicker and saves Eddie (by Eobard kidnapping him instead)

YES. WHUMP. This is absolutely not something I really really hoped would happen when first watching the episode at the ripe age of 9. Nope. I was a completely normal child.

Ah. Remember when Eobard took a blood sample from Farooq, saying he’d love to know how he was able to steal the Flash’s speed. And that plotline went nowhere? Whelp, that would not be the case in this universe. Because of this, Eo wouldn’t need to keep Barry in Star labs which —alongside simply not having a speedster to search— will make rescue a lot more difficult. He also knows what he's doing, knows how to hack and deactivate all the trackers and tech in Barry's suit to ensure he won't be found.

This situation forces Eddie or Joe to tell Iris Barry’s the Flash (hell, Eddie may just yell “Barry!” When he’s taken and that gives it away) and she's going to be pissed. Like canon, they don't/can't report Barry as missing, and with him out of commission; Thawne doesn’t need to send Grodd, which means they can just focus on finding him. It would be even more tense for everyone because Wells/Thawne taking Barry actually makes sense which is somehow scarier than the alternative of the kidnapping being random. They’re just hoping they can find Barry before a man who hates him enough to kill his mom when he was 11— kills him too.

Meanwhile, Barry is not doing great because Thawne isn’t particularly worried about meeting his food calorie needs; just making sure he doesn’t die of starvation. Plus, Thawne isn’t keen on giving him information about, well, anything. “Why the hell am I here?" "What’s happening with my friends?" "What are you working on over there, I can’t turn my head enough to see it—" etc. These questions, of course came after empty threats, a lot of shouting, and probably the threat of a gag if he wasn’t quieter. The cherry on top, Thawne was acting weird towards him, lingering a little too close for a little too long. Rescue really couldn't come sooner.

Eobard figured out a way to replicate Farooq's powers to not just deprive Barry of his speed-- but transfer it to himself so he can run home. Luckily for him, Barry's compliance isn't needed, unluckily for him; it will take a few days to a week for Barry to be completely drained. Luckily for Barry, that gives his friends time to find him, unluckily for him... the process is extremely exhausting and painful.

Cisco doesn't even realize what was happening, just that one second, his hand was on the mannequin where Barry's suit would normally sit, and the next second-- the world had gone blue and Barry was there in front of him; tied to a chair with his eyes squinted shut and watering. He wouldn't normally trust whatever that was, but with no other leads and days flying past far too quickly; he decides to tell the team what he saw.

Two possible timelines: 1. Cisco is able to hone his powers enough to get Barry's location and they arrive just in time... or 2. just too late.

Hakuba does the thing that classic detectives do (Namely Holmes and Dupin) where they use their skills as a detective to show their friends that they’re paying attention to them , they understand them and they love them. I wish more modern detectives would do this it’s very sweet and heartwarming. I know we don’t see it in canon but he models himself on Holmes why wouldn’t he show affection in similar ways?)

I agree.

I want this. And while we don't really get much of this sort of thing in canon it is actually a part of the reason I ship Hakuba with Kaito instead of any other pairing.

The way I see it, just about anyone who behaves that way has also probably had to deal with normal people around them not really understanding right away that it's an expression of affection. A lot of people would find it uncomfortable, even Ran at one point described Shinichi's 'unpleasant habit of saying thing that make it seem like he can read your mind' then not really explaining.

So naturally I think Hakuba has probably face having would-be friends being put off by that in the past, and it definitely doesn't help that he probably has very few people he's actually close with due to traveling pretty often. With that in mind, I'd like to bring attention to a brief exchange between Kid and Hakuba that occurred during their first meeting- When Hakuba asked Kid, 'why do you steal? Why did you become a thief?' And Kid responds without missing a beat, 'Figuring that out is your job.' It's a small thing, and I've never really seen anyone else talk much on it... but that's why I'm taking advantage of this only sort-of related ask and rambling about this instead. So anyways, I've always kinda taken that as Kaito without even really realizing giving Hakuba permission to just try to uncover his secrets. Not that he really needs permission, but it's like a formal invitation to the game, a promise that Kaito won't react negatively to being a subject of Hakuba's intense attention. And Hakuba for his part... well he'd probably never had anyone respond like that, after all the standard responses would be to either brush it aside 'wouldn't you like to know?'/'I don't owe you answers', or just answer honestly- but this? This is an odd answer. He takes it in stride and doesn't hold back at all when it comes to paying attention to Kaito/Kid from then on- in contrast to how he likely hadn't even really wanted to go against Kid at all initially (his father had wanted him to, so he took it seriously, but going hadn't been his decision.)

Kaito doesn't understand that he invited it, but he does admit to seeing Hakuba differently than most of his pursuers, on the same level as Conan/Shinichi with the two having been referred to together as 'lovers that you don't want to see'. He's at least understanding of the way that detective's express themselves, and he accepts it, even if he always runs he makes sure to provide enrichment.

#dcmk #hakuba saguru #kuroba kaito #rambling #this is another one where I just kinda said a bunch of stuff but there's not much supporting evidence #realistically that bit I called out is just a quick bit of banter with nothing behind it #I'm definitely reading to much into it #but I'm having fun and that's what counts #Also I hope you don't mind that I just kinda went wildly offtopic #staying on topic is like bullriding- it's difficult on my ADHD ass. #asks

OCD: We don't know what the qualifications of "being a good person" are, or at what point you stop being one, so we're just going to avoid everyone all the time so we don't hurt them :)

Me: But if. You avoid people. How can you help them. Also what about the people you already know who have a vested interest in continuing to talk to you? Wouldn't this hurt them? This doesn't make any sense.

OCD: No :) It doesn't :)

Me: But then--

OCD: Good luck :) :) :)

ROUND 1a BRACKET

it is completed. The matches on the far outsides will be competing first, in 24 hr polls before they move on to go against the competitors on the inner brackets.

Round 1a polls will be posted SATURDAY JULY 15 (probably like 1pm pst or something), and Round 1b polls will be posted probably a couple days after that.

Propaganda is allowed and FULLY encouraged. rip each other to shreds.

#gonna talk abt the seeding process in tags lol #ok so i didnt do formal seeding bc.... i have no idea how with this shit. #but i started by putting the 4 eps that made the cut in the 4 corners and faced them off against their own band (mostly) #then i filled the rest of the outsiders with artists who only had one release or ones that are generally less well known/liked (cough. patd #the inners were a lot tougher. im not even that happy with how all the seeding ended up but i tried to make it as fair as i possibly could #as well as tried to stick to the idea of high scorers vs low scorers and then middle scorers vs middles. Again didnt ALL work but i tried #i also am not familiar with four year strong at all so i based their seedings off of how their albums charted. hopefully its fair enough #potential 1a winners were considered when placing 1b ones in the spots where theyd face one off #i will not lie at all and say that my bias for certain albums is evident in this seeding. I am also not sorry #anyways. Any more questions or thoughts you can always send an ask ^_^ #not poll #decaydance

since its hard finding content of it without people being jackasses in the tags: to the fellow metakirby shippers who never even considered the idea of them being different ages when they started shipping them, and dont get why everyone tries to say kirby is a minor as a solid fact for the whole series when that was only (apparently) canon in the anime, i love you and heres some flowers for you 🌹💐🌸

#it sucks like im a meta knight kinny and dated both kirby and galacta knight. there was no age gaps or anything just cute orbs #like fuck off not everyone has the same fucking view of canon or holds the same headcanons as you #i watched the anime when i was little but just random bits of it #i never seen/remembered them claiming kirby is a minor so its never been how i viewed kirby #so maybe stop being so fucking gross to metakirby shippers #-sincerely a fucking csa victim tired of people assuming my ships are anything related to what literally triggers me #metakirby #kirby #meta knight #literally when i first started seeing the hate for the ship a long time ago i didnt even understand where it was coming from #i made a post asking about it bc i was like. this seems a little common and extreme hate for it to just be ppls notp ??? wtf is up #i had NO idea there was anything about kirby apparently being young in the anime #(which i actually havent even seen direct evidence for. just heard it from ppl letting me know when i made that post) #(so thus is why i put ''apparently'')

This broadcast dude came across my feed! I guess they could put pronunciation in the player notes

https://youtube.com/shorts/z2wZv1eUFJw?si=fc4ssdziE71b3oNg

thank you so much for passing this on!!! [video of a broadcaster explaining how he keeps track of player names]

of course they COULD put pronunciation in the player notes, but DO THEY?? and if so, using what notation system? that is the question. it looks like this particular nba broadcaster does not. the mystery remains but we inch ever closer to enlightenment.

#maybe i am trying to prove a negative. maybe no one notates the pronunciation and that's why i can't find evidence of it lol #ball #phonetics #asks #not anon #but this is good information because i could guess that they have little printed out cheat sheets but didn't actually know #like maybe they have ipads. i don't know. #i gotta pay more attention to what's on the table in front of the broadcasters whenever they show them for ten seconds #at the very beginning of the game and sometimes at the half. and when the refs come over to explain a contentious call. #of course i'm sure this clippers broadcaster is not representative of every sports broadcaster ever #but every little tidbit i get paints a more complete and vivid picture. thank you for thinking of me!!!!! #evidence we have so far: #1) ian eagle got permission directly from terrence 'fatt' edwards jr. to refer to him as fatt edwards on air #2) one of my followers who works at a music venue asks performers how to say their name before a show and memorizes it #3) mlb has a public-facing database where you can listen to audio clips of players pronouncing their own names #which also gives phonetic transcriptions (not in ipa or any other phonetic alphabet) but only for a subset of the names #4) this pro basketball broadcaster has a printed sheet of notes on players that he refers to during games. no pronunciation listed

everyone who has ever been like consistently kind 2 me... u literally have no idea how much it's meant 2 me.

#like i've been so desperate my whole life for kindness. if u never asked me 2 call myself crazy or change my memories for you #u truly have no idea how much u have helped me lol #like just the evidence that someone out there could give a shit about me at all without me editing my memories or experiences #... sorting back through everything i'm able 2 call myself a person finally because there were moments where people didn't make #me change my memories for them so i was able 2 remember the truth of the experience and not just tuck it away as some #surreal thing that shouldn't have happened. like i was loved briefly anyway. even though everything was so messy there was a person #or two who still wanted to just be friends and laugh with me even in all my flaws and inability 2 act like my life made sense #like i wasn't singled out with them. i was just another friend. that's really special. and idk i haven't encountered it often.

You think you're a boy because you like to read adult content of boys kissing? Is this your way to not feel guilty about fetishizing gay men and gay relationships?

i'm actually just a teenager who engages in the normal teenage activity of reading smut sometimes and just happens to be transgender. hope this helps.

#i'm assuming anon is referring to the tags on one of my recent original posts? #where i vaguely mentioned feeling guilty for being under 18 and occasionally reading stuff labeled as 18+? #which i mean. wild assumption to make based on the notes of one post. #but on a serious note. anon. you do not know me. #you cannot make any meaningful assumptions about me based on a quick glance at my tumblr blog. #you do not know anything about my childhood experiences with dysphoria or how long i have identified as transgender. #and i think it's weird and a bit creepy to accuse some random kid of fetishizing people based on absolutely no evidence. #asks

While reading the relic story for Fleet of the Ageless, I ran into some mention of the "Three Sufferings":

Yet, just like the shifting of the sun and moon, what once prospered was fated to decline and what once brought elation must eventually induce agony. It was not until the arrival of the Three Sufferings, when people were tormented to near extinction, that the Xianzhou people finally came to understand the true nature of this so-called miracle, which was nothing but harrowing calamity. (The Xianzhou Luofu's Celestial Ark)

And I'm not really sure if they mention it elsewhere on the Luofu (I'm very slowly going through everything. Except I keep getting sucked into reading Belobog stuff >_>), but what it did make me think about however is that in Buddhism, there is something called the "three marks of existence", which refers to the three sources of suffering in the world. So I wanted to mostly write this up as a comparison between what's going on in the Luofu vs. Buddhist belief! (And a very big warning: I might be skimming over important details about the religion. I was born into a culture that is very heavily influenced by Buddhism and have grown up with some understanding of it while having to study it on my own, so I'm sure I'll get a lot of details wrong. So if I get anything wrong, you're always welcome to chime in!)

At least in my memory, I remembered that there was a suffering because of attachment to objects, to self, and to others -- all with the concept that all things do not last, so I had to search up these names properly.

anicca (impermanence): This is the core concept in which nothing lasts in this world. The inability to recognize the impermanence of life will then lead to grief -- suffering -- that humans face, as a result. You can actually see this with the Sanctus Medicus's desire for eternal life with Dan Shu who grieved the loss of her friend Yufei via the diaries that you could pick up

It's this idea of attachment to something bound to end some way or another that will inevitably lead to suffering/pain when that loss comes.

dukkha (suffering): The idea behind this mark is that the truth is that life cannot be satisfied. If there isn't suffering, there are moments of joy, but as all things in life, even the joy is brief.

I wouldn't exactly be able to pinpoint how this gets carried out on the Luofu. I would have said something about how the Luofu had once sought out eternal life which then led to the implanting of the Ambrosial Arbor by Yaoshi, but now are unsatisfied by their gift of eternal life to them. I could also say that at least with the longer lives that the Xianzhou natives have, they eventually lose interest in life itself because they've had the chance to sought out anything they could with their many years, which is better described in Yukong's third character story:

and for the final mark of existence: anatta (not self): If suffering comes from attachment, then an attachment to an image of one's self too can lead to a source of suffering. With time, everyone is bound to change and grow, so any attempts in trying to hold onto one specific image could lead to a source of pain.

I think the best way to display this concept is actually through Yaoshi's acts and why the Alliance condemns them and their "abominations" (themselves included :'D). To rid of the suffering that comes with death, Yaoshi hopes to grant the gift of eternal life, but it seems that coming back from the dead doesn't mean returning to one's old self, which I feel can be seen at least with Blade's case with his revival and no longer being Yingxing. These undead are what the Alliance hopes to get rid of. I think it can also be seen through Bailu's story quest with the girl who slowly becomes marastruck who panics the moment the armor and her skin becomes melded into each other, no longer able to retain her former image before meeting and reuniting with her lover, in which case the idea of "self" is an attachment to a physical form rather than something more abstract instead, and that leading to her own suffering in the end.

I'm sure that a lot of Hoyo's writing with weaving in Buddhism with the Luofu lore isn't coincidental (looks at Dan Heng) , and I'm sure that there's bound to be better show of each of these principles, but I think this is what Hoyo might be referring to when they write about the "Three Sufferings" in the relic. Maybe I'll come back to this post later if I find better evidence BUT I thought worth noting at least for now :) ty for reading if you made it this far
