#china #video #douyin #fun #audio #music #op and his friend are both boys #chinese netizens are like“Aren't you guys being a little too flirtatious?”“Oh please he doesn't want to win”“ He just spoils you” lol #the gestures representing rock-paper-scissors in this game is not quite the same as usual #so it might be difficult for non-professional to catch up with them

Comparing your work to other people's is a great way to kill your joy for a thing so let me be clear and say this is not that, I am just a human person with human emotions and sometimes that means needing to be the tiniest bit petty and then moving on. You know. For your health or something.

There is a very popular cosplayer who coincidentally keeps doing the same costumes as me, and I am just the tiniest bit annoyed about it, because as is the case with many (...most) very popular cosplayers, they have a very specific, airbrushed, conventionally attractive, perfect makeup, etc aesthetic to all their photos that is. Not what I personally value in cosplay, at least. Which is fine! Different people having different approaches to costumes is part of what makes cosplay such an interesting hobby!

But it does bother me a tiny bit that the work I put into my costumes is not necessarily the kind of work that gets attention, and it does make it a little glaringly obvious when it's The Same Characters.

(Also you all know the kinds of characters I cosplay. I gravitate towards them in part because they have weird energy, not super put together attractive energy. But that's only part of my point.)

Anyways. I do not follow them on Instagram because why would I do that, but nonetheless I saw that they're apparently also doing a Laois cosplay now, which I guarantee will get lots more attention than mine. And for the most part that's fine, I love cosplay and I love doing my weird little thing and I especially love that I do in fact know other people that value the same things as me & that we have fun together. I will have a great time in my fun little costume, dressing up with my friends in their fun little costumes and I am looking forward to it. And I do not actually need likes to validate that I am becoming a pretty damn good cosplayer (whose stuff is better quality than many popular cosplayers' because I care more about craftsmanship than I do getting attention). I am even thinking pretty seriously about having Laois be my first ever competition costume if the armor turns out alright, because I think I'm genuinely getting to that level.

But it would just be kind of neat if being a weird little guy with weird little ideas who is into the hobby because I like sourcing historical patterns and materials and thinking about the worldbuilding that goes into costumes and creating neat little "in-universe" ephemera to hand out to people and all the things I like didn't always mean getting overshadowed by Instagram Perfect Attractive People.

Alas. Okay glad that's out of my system I'm normal again. I'm going to make some more chain mail.

#me with my 150 whole instagram followers: what do you mean the people aren't into gremlins who make their own chainmail #i got spoiled with andreas because there are like three andreas cosplayers in the entire world and we're all feral history nerds #who have geeked out together about the character/costume #but alas. i like a popular thing again #actually okay i have one more serious thing to say and that's that i don't even have it the worst #i've seen friends who are way more self conscious about their bodies than me get really sad over this before #and i do not blame them because they are all really talented cosplayers who do not get the attention that they deserve #i wish people got as excited about passion and good craftsmanship as they do. well. you know #anyways. that's why i like my little cosplay circle so much. i'm glad i've found people with the same priorities as me

[merakiui]

That ruggie thought about him getting you pregnant 👀 u always leave bangers in yhe tags

Putting bangers in the tags is a merakiui speciality. :D

(cw: slight yandere, nsfw, pregnancy, female reader, mentions of abortion)

Ruggie is a sneaky hyena, so naturally you shouldn’t have trusted him when he said he’d pull out before he cums. The two of you are just friends, yet one thing leads to another and the both of you agree to a night of mutually beneficial affairs. School is stressful! Running errands for Leona is stressful! If anything, the both of you deserve to unwind with one another. Ruggie makes it very clear that he will pull out. There’s no way he can risk cumming inside, and neither of you have any condoms on hand either. His pull-out game is elite; don’t worry. You’re in good hands. 

Until you aren’t and you wake nauseous weeks later. You’re quick to get a pregnancy test and when it comes back positive and you realize that the only one you were intimate with was Ruggie... Now things are complicated. The both of you sit in his dorm room on his bed, staring at the test and then at one another. It’s so awkward; the silence is stifling. He’d promised he’d pull out and he fully intended to, but in his defense it was warm and snug inside and you’d wrapped your legs around him and!!!! Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Ruggie offers an awkward apology that sounds insincere, but the truth is that he’s never been in this situation before and he has no idea how to smooth-talk his way out of this. So he tells you very bluntly that he can’t afford to take responsibility. He can get Leona to pay for any fees that might crop up if you don’t want to keep the child. He just can’t balance a fussy prince, academics, part-times, and a child. That’s way too much. Not to mention children are expensive and he’s very tight on money. He wouldn’t want to subject a child to a poor life because he isn’t financially stable. You understand where he’s coming from because with your monthly budget there’s no way you can afford a child either. But all of this is so...real. It’s one thing to entertain ideas like pregnancy, but it’s another to actually be pregnant.

So you tell Ruggie you need some time to think things through before you make a decision and he offers his support. After all, it was technically his fault that the both of you are in this predicament. He is genuinely sorry! He really wouldn’t dream of stressing you out with this. If he was rich, it would make your lives so much easier. Leona won’t provide any help because it isn’t his problem to solve. The way he sees it, Ruggie shouldn’t have had such a weak pull-out game. Ruggie’s humiliated that that’s what Leona decides to comment on. Leona does, however, wish you the best of luck. He does care for you in his own gruff way, but don’t expect him to bow to you just because you’re pregnant. 

Time passes and with it a dozen decisions fester. No one could tell you’re pregnant because it doesn’t show, but Lilia has popped in to gift you a pair of baby booties he’s crocheted and Malleus has started to visit more often to wish you well and check in. Some of the beastmen seem to perk up when they’re near you, as if they can sense the change in hormones, and the merfolk exchange sly glances. Everyone’s starting to wonder. 

When you finally, after much debate, decide to visit the doctor and Ruggie accompanies you (for your sake, he claims. He’s not a deadbeat, so wipe any of those ideas from your mind at once!), the doctor informs you that you’ve waited much too long and that now you ought to focus on preparing for the baby. You and Ruggie die that day in the pristine office, and you leave hollow and nervous. You knew you should’ve gone sooner, but you were never afforded a break. With Grim’s nonsense and then trying to scrounge enough money to fix a hole in the wall (thanks to Ace and Deuce’s foolishness) to managing your own academic schedule, you pushed pregnancy to the back of your mind because you were so certain that you had time. 

You try to look on the bright side, but Ruggie’s a realist and there’s absolutely no way the both of you can afford this without having to take out a loan or sign one of Azul’s contracts or work more jobs or... It doesn’t look good, but he wants to try to figure out a solution. So when Ruggie starts working more to afford pre-natal care (Leona’s wallet is always missing Madol, but he never notices, certainly not when he has a habit of leaving his valuables out and about), you try to do your part by looking for work as well. The both of you spend nights in either his dorm or yours (mainly yours, though. Ruggie doesn’t want any of the guys getting any funny ideas) and you’ll read up on pregnancy and parenthood together. You haven’t decided what you’ll do once the child is born, considering neither of you have any romantic feelings for the other and you’re not too keen on forcing a relationship that’s bound to fail. 

Despite the initial fears, all poorly concealed, you and Ruggie slowly relax as the weeks go by. The both of you are saving up to afford everything needed for a healthy pregnancy, but there are certain factors that get in the way. Nausea is your enemy. You’ve had to excuse yourself from your shift more than once to vomit, and Ruggie’s started staying in Ramshackle with you and Grim to cook and care for you. He rubs circles into your back when you spill the contents of your stomach into the toilet every morning, sometimes right after your meals. You caught Grim sleeping on your stomach one morning, to which he will adamantly deny it and scoff about how you’re just delusional and trying to spin a lie. 

When your baby bump finally starts to show, it becomes harder to hide the obvious. You’ll receive some support from Crowley because he’s so very kind, but you’re still expected to attend classes and such. Although the professors are admittedly a little more lenient with you now that they know of your situation. Ruggie wishes they’d be more lenient with him. Trein advises Ruggie to treasure the blessings that come with children. As noisy and troublesome as they are, it’s so very worth it in the end. His daughters mean the world to him; he’d do anything for them. Ruggie thinks this conversation got weird fast because since when does Trein get sentimental one-on-one like this? But...he’s grateful for the advice. He confides in Trein that he has no idea what he’s doing, but he’s really trying because... Because. He doesn’t have an exact reason, but he’s just doing it. 

Trein smiles at him and simply says that trying is better than nothing. Ruggie feels like this was the strangest pep talk he’s ever gotten, yet somehow it’s cleared his head a little. 

When your belly is more rounded and you’re a few months in, Ruggie suggests you stop working. Even Azul insists you ought to take leave; the lounge can survive without you. “It better be paid leave,” Ruggie threatens, to which Azul grins and says that a little signature can solve all of his issues.

Every single Madol counts. He’s filled jars and jars with bills and coins and he’s stowed them away in a locked space in his room. He’ll check the days off on his calendar as the both of you get closer to your supposed due date. He’s not sure why, but when you insist that you can work a little longer for his sake he doesn’t like that. He’ll work for you. He’ll do all of the heavy lifting and physical labor. Just relax and let him massage your shoulders or feet when they’re sore. Let him rub lotions and creams into your belly. Let him cook healthy, safe meals for you. Normally, Ruggie would let you do your own thing, but this time he’s a bit more forceful with his insistence. He doesn’t want you to hurt yourself or the baby, and he definitely doesn’t want you around those slimy Octavinelle students. 

For the longest time, Ruggie was so certain that there was nothing between the two of you. You’re not in love, you never kiss or hold hands, and you don’t even sleep in the same bed. You’re really just two friends trying to get through a tough situation. But lately he’s felt different. These feelings surface when he’s rubbing a soothing gel into your belly and he feels the slightest kick, and he freezes up and looks you in the eyes and both of your stares seem to say, You felt that, too, right? It finally occurs to him that there’s life inside you. That the little movement within your belly is the result of you and him. That, had you never waited in the first place, he wouldn’t be here with you, feeling a restless baby kick and squirm within. Ruggie finally understands what Trein meant all that time ago. Moments like this—the ones in which he’s reminded of the bond the two of you share, that this child is the one who tethers you and him together—are so very special. An important thing that only he could experience with you. 

Ruggie’s been feeling for too long and so he tries to back off, suddenly embarrassed, when your hands cover his. You smile at him and for the first time in his life he thinks that this isn’t a bad situation. Sure, it’s stressful and he’s exhausted every single day, but it’s a situation he doesn’t have to face alone. He’s together with you. With someone who is not quite a friend but not quite a lover either. Somewhere in between all of that. What does that even make you? He has no idea, but deep within his heart he wants you to be more than just a friend.

He’s never had anything that is remotely his. He’s always had to fight for his things. For food. For clothes. For money. He only knows survival because he’s never been granted the luxury of an easy life. So when you smell of him and you’re carrying his child and there are just so many traces of him on you it makes him realize that he wants this relationship. He wants to be your lover and future husband. He wants to be a father. He wants to be yours, and he wants you to be his.

Ruggie’s not sure what will happen after the baby is born and if the two of you will even stay as close as you currently are, but when he discusses potential names late into the night with you he pushes thoughts of the future aside. It’s important to plan ahead, but right now all he wants is to admire the way the moonlight frames you, the way you light up and laugh when he playfully suggests the name Ruggie Jr., and how warm you are. How welcoming your scent is. How comforting it is to know that it’s just you, him, and a precious miracle growing within you. (And a snoring Grim, but he’s too deep in sleep to be woken.) How perfect the two of you are, even when you’re struggling to make ends meet. Even then, he’s happy because you’re really all he needs to get through tough times.

He can’t let you go. He loves you too much, and hopefully by the end of these nine months you’ll love him, too.

#twisted chit chat #yandere twst #tw: pregnancy #not to put more thoughts in the tags but #this concept with jack #omg he would not leave you alone once he finds out #he’s even more loyal to you now #let him help you let him carry heavy things let him take responsibility #he would be so genuine about everything #OH OMG OR THIS CONCEPT WITH RIDDLE AAAAAAA #he would panic so much because his mother would absolutely throttle him when she learns her golden child got someone pregnant #when he’s meant to be focusing on his studies #not bringing shame to the rosehearts name by sleeping around!!! #the leech twins are a fun case because their parents find out #and mr. leech is like 'it's about time!!! my boys aren't cowards' and mrs. leech is so happy she'll have grandchildren to spoil #most supportive parents <3

[weedle-testaburger]

there's this kind of youtuber i lowkey really hate who aren't overt bigots or anything but just do this thing where they seem to try stupidly hard to look for reasons to hate media that just so happens to have a lot of marginalised rep in it. especially if it has a thematic point that would involve acknowledging politics

#my favourite example of that (as in i actually find it funny not it annoys me) #is cinemasins complaining the train in snowpiercer and the guy who wants the protagonist's eyes in get out don't make sense #like. they don't have to be explained in the story the point is they're a commentary on socio economic injustices and racism #stories aren't logic puzzles they're parables and if you read them as being logic puzzles you're doing it wrong #and spoiling a lot of really profound media for yourself #having said that the youtubers i hate most are reactionary cunts like nerdrotic critical drinker or turkey tom #they should be punched every time they upload until they fuck off #and the most annoying kind of youtubers (not hatable but annoying) are the ones who try to argue that mainstream media #which is trying to be diverse and progressive is Bad Actually (verilybitchie is awful for that and she doesn't like pan people #so that put me off her pretty quickly which is a shame bc some of her videos and topics are interesting)

and i need to you to understand that what a character looks like on the surface,

is not who they are beneath!

...

original post was discussing the difference between donghua fengqing expressions when xie lian was revealed to be fangxin guoshi who committed a massacre. feng xin looked scared, mu qing had what looked like a smile on his face. people in reblogs were hating on mq even tho we all know what this man went thru and how FLAWED his reaction is what makes him the best character in tgcf :)

stan mu qing <3

#mu qing #chewy chews #people when characters aren't perfect and don't always act according to How You Should React To Certain Situations guide: :0 ?! #mu qing lived thru a massacre. people in xianle were killed and shit #u think he would b happy? #people from his slum died and shit so did his mom #ofc not! #his character has been accused of doing shitty things and being vile when hes just being HUMAN. #seeing oh so perfect people be accused and exposed made him happy #because lets be fr. if someone who treated u like shit got exposed #wouldnt u b happy 2? #and yes #xie lian was an ass to mq in book 2 and 4 #the spoiled mindset was there.

That bitch in this fandom is truly going to be my villain origin story. What a miserable human being doing things to make people mad/upset/cause drama on purpose.

#even if it was a spoiler we probably knew was happening i did not need you spoiling it?? #and the marina fans who indulge her knowing she full well hates marina and marina fans #she is not doing this to be nice she wants to ruin the experience what is so hard to understand #she's not even watching the show anymore because it's not going her way #she watermarks pictures that aren't hers like a literal psychopath #stop indulging in her behavior when it's not okay in the slightest

Seriously though a PRIDE COMPILATION?!?!?

This isn't a spoiler it's marketing! Also probably a nothingburger in context because that's how Pride marketing works, but like. This was literally designed so everyone would hear about it.

Frankly some Amazon social media staffer is slumping over in relief right now that someone finally noticed. The instructions were to make it subtle so it could generate more hype, but 3 days is pretty damn subtle!

#there is a reason this is dropping with *weeks* for everyone to hear about it #you aren't getting spoiled on a plot point you're getting baited into watching *as soon as it drops* #so that you can find out the context before you get a *real* spoiler #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens spoilers #advertising #stolen gay angel valor #ladyluscinia

[linagram]

sorry everyone it's me. your boy. with another weird poll. just like most milgrammers i like polls a lot but i still have too many things to do for s3 so this is how i'm coping

out of all the linagram prisoners, which one do you think is most likely to die, not counting the possible punishments/executions (for example, maybe they end up getting killed by someone else, maybe they die by suicide or because of health issues, etc)? i can already say that no one is going to die until the end of season 3, but after that. well.

#feel free to elaborate in asks or replies if you want #tbh i think some of them are definitely safe but most of them. hm. #i mean. even the guards aren't safe haha <3 #(i get taken away so that i won't spoil anything else) #📱linagram timeline 📱

i gotta say, 13 hours into omori, i don't get why people call it a horror game

#omori #like there's been occasional creepy scenes but they're usually quite short especially compared to the broader tone of the game #it does have a serious story. about like. trauma and failing friendships? that i'm really intrigued by as it slowly uncovers #like maybe it leans further into horror elements as the game goes on but i gotta say the elements that do exist aren't enough for me #to explicitly call it 'horror' #don't get me wrong i love this game and i love the spooky moments they're really fun! #i just went thru the train ride bit which was pretty fun i liked how the shadow at the end says the name of ur real-world character #even though ur playing as omori in the dream world #also no spoilers but it's unclear to me as of now if omori is just haunted by the memory of his sister's death #or if her spirit is Actually haunting him #also i had flowers and i thought maybe i cld put them on her grave but it didn't give me the option #also i loved the moment where kel talks about hero's depression and the way he himself was overlooked by h #their parents #man. i love all these characters so much #god the scene where aubrey fights you in the church and the whole time all the churchgoers are whispering about how terrible she is #i felt so bad for her man #also her design in the real world is cool as hell #also i actually lost to aubrey during the church scene but i didn't get a game over she just let me be and left #omori spoilers #i know the game is old-ish but my wording may have implied i wasn't going to spoil and i totally did #what i meant was don't tell me abt the future story of the game i'm only on 'three days left'

oh mysterious fwct epilogue that isn't part of the main fic and will never be posted and instead will just be heavily implied by the ending. we're really in it now

#literally I keep imagining a post-fic scene repeatedly that drives me BONKERS and it's like. that thang won't even be in the fic #like. this will be HINTED by the fic's end. if not blatantly stated as a thing that will happen #but it cannot happen in the fic. #but since it's so integral to Literally Everything i cannot spoil it. and i'm just sitting here like Girl #what if people don't pick up on it .How obvious do I need to make it. so when I come on here after chapter 8 goes up and start going #''ok so now i can talk about exactly how [x] happens'' people aren't like WHAT DO YOU MEAN [X] HAPPENS????? #look sometimes [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] and in response to that you just gotta [REDACTED] #and nobody's particularly happy about this arrangement but such is how itgoes #clamtalk

anyway the goblin antagonist of hogwarts legacy is, yes, the ultimate antagonist, works with dark wizards to harvest (or steal previously harvested? unclear in the summary i read) magical energy from wizards including children — there's, allegedly, a scene where they explicitly discuss abducting a child. the antagonism is first framed as the goblin wanting to reclaim goblin-made artifacts and magic but is later revealed as an enterprise of personal greed for the goblin, who steals all the power for himself at the end of the game and turns into a dragon (you know, a giant lizard). this is the big plot of the game, is the goblin and his associated evil characters stealing an essence from children for their personal evil magical use, and then at the end of the game, the goblin turns into a big lizard. hogwarts legacy really is antisemitic tropes: the video game.

#hogwarts legacy #hogwarts legacy for ts #antisemitism / #nat.txt #this game has everything! blood libel! hook nosed caricatures! secret lizard people! transphobia! #literally no amount of toothless nostalgia is worth supporting this game. #aside from the fact that buying it financially supports jk rowling the entire plot is an exercise in antisemitism #i don't care how much you loved harry potter as a child. i don't care how it shaped your life. this is vile and cruel-minded top to bottom #''the devs aren't jkr'' no but they did make this piece of shit game so they're not exactly progressively minded are they. #anyway i am maintagging this because i want to spoil it for all the babies in the tag. #if your political alliances with marginalized people end at a video game you deserve to have the ending ruined for you.

Thanks to something @t65flyer said, I now believe that Halo season 3 absolutely NEEDS to start this way...

John walks into the Spartan quarters and is shocked to see Vannak there. "Hey, buddy, I can't believe it! You're here even though you were totally dead the last time we saw you! How did you survive?"

Vannak looks at the camera like he's on the Office. "Same way Makee did."

Kai and Riz walk in, both in perfect health.

Kai starts handing out freshly baked cookies, just 'cause. "Hey, everybody! What did we miss?"

Annnnnnd cut to the intro!

#halo #halo the series #halo paramount+ #spoilers #i mean these aren't REAL spoilers of course but if you haven't seen the finale i don't want my silly comments to potentially spoil you #so tagging it like that just in case #master chief #john-117 #vannak-134 #kai-125 #riz-028 #t65flyer #ageless aislynn

Everyone needs to start getting way weirder (read: hornier) about this moment so I don't feel so alone.

Also - Tuvok....this is WILDLY funny. Tuvok is SO cringe I love him, he's the worst guy ever. Absolutely 0 hesitation to, IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, straight up go "Hey, first officer? Sorry for cutting you off in the middle of this life-or-death situation but I just couldn't help but notice that I, Tuvok, made a suggestion and you didn't follow it? That's literally never happened before. Did you not hear me or..?" There's literally not even a good reason for him to object it's straight up ONLY because it wasn't his idea.

#I'm telling you Tuvok gives such a wonderful 'spoiled know it all' energy <3 #Has Janeway NEVER disagreed with you????? HEHEHE #Oh anyway yeah Chakotay making Tuvok call him sir is hot #But more importantly - people who say Tuvok has no personality beyond 'Vulcan' simply aren't paying enough attention #like I know we sort of get SCRAPS as the series goes on but he DOES have a distinct personality to me #It's not only that he speaks up here rather than following orders - its the REASON he gives which is #'Why aren't you doing what I say? Janeway would never do this. =_=' (& the fact he does it in front of everyone) #It implies that he thinks his plan is better just because it's his plan (as otherwise he'd surely bring up a more facts/logic based #complaint) - He's ANNOYING and he's arrogant and he's clearly very close with Janeway #and he deserves to get punched <3 and I love him so much. #voy #How CONFIDENT was he that Chakotay would be like 'oh sorry Tuvok you're absolutely right' that he INTERRUPTED him to bring it up in front #of EVERYONE????? TUVOK!!! GIRL YOU ARE /DELUSIONAL/ ~!!! #I can literally see Tuvok writing a 'and everybody clapped' ass fanfic in my head as we speak...he and the doctor have this in common #the only difference is that Tuvok would never explicitly write that while the Doctor absolutely would and he'd be like 'this is the height #of my genius' and I unfortunately find all of that endearing
