#implied bursting

[heavypressure]

Sometimes i like burst teasing... Eating so much junk I'm nearly bursting from the gassy indigestion that occurs after...My stomach straining to hold itself together, getting tighter every second as i swell with gas.. Intense cramps shoot through my balloon of a belly as I can't even let out a tiniest burp to try and stop my skin from stretching thinner and thinner, muffled thunderous noises accompanied by an ominous creaking ..

U no like gladiator ii?

Why? 🥺

i am so sorry, anon, there was simply no way for me to like it as someone whose entire career and literal job is about understanding ancient roman history. unfortunately, they made ZERO effort at trying to make this movie seem even slightly authentic, and even though i went in expecting very little historical accuracy (big hollywood blockbuster movie by ridley scott, yes i know), the absurdity of it all had me scream laughing and pissed off to no end. not only was that entire movie an enormous, literal caricature of ancient rome and its people, it was also incredibly bad. i could've maybe forgiven the cgi baboons on steroids, killer rhinos and sharks in the amphiteatre, but the storyline genuinely lacking any depth with actors who were visibly struggling with delivering their lines that made them sound either pathetic or like they were in a low budget action movie were simply too much for me. the whole movie was an americanized idea of ancient rome told on screen. like it actually started to feel disrespectful at one point. it was a whole bunch of characters behaving like clowns trying to spin a story without a single meaningful thread and i simply hated it. gladiator 1 did a masterful job compared to this one. because it was so genuine and moving, any inauthenticity was easily overlooked. this movie tried to bank on the glory of its predecessor, but sadly it pales in comparison to the point i wouldn't even associate the two. i guess it's good if you want a mindless action movie with occasional pretty cinematography bc, in my opinion, that's about all it's got to offer 🤷‍♀️

I would be a terrible hucow 🤭... Id probably be much less efficient in milk production than other cows, not much going on there, but i would produce a ton of methane and fertilizer

Eating constantly in hopes to increase my milkynness, I'm full to the brim, belly heavy and tight, letting out huge farts and burps every five miinnutes so I don't explode

I'd probably clog up my own bowels regularly on accident.. You just leave me in the stable overnight, unaware that something has blocked my entrance, and when you return in the morning, you see me mooing on the ground in, trying to soothe my enormous bloated gut. It's huuge, round, tight as a drum, and stretched to it's absolute limits, because of all of my accumulated gas inside. A little bit more and i would burst, so it's good you're here ..

Getting to watch Brokeback Mountain on the big screen for the first time is definitely a privilege and genuinely had me more choked up than I’d have predicted.

Does c!quackity ever force c!wilbur to take showers or does he take them on his own?

*this can either be read as he gets a pat on the head or they fuck in the shower because those two have the sexual chemistry of Gomez and morticia adams and there is no way they are sharing a space naked without something happening im sorry I dont make the rules

[arthur-lesters-left-arm]

you have created this hell and now you'll have to live in it, I'm coming for you next

Coming from arthur lesters ovarian cyst

hi! a few questions

what kind of cyst are you? are you functional (follicular cyst, corpus luteum cyst) or non-functional (teratoma, cystadenoma, endometrioma)?

what the actual fuck does this mean?

[kirkwallguy]

Dear god what IS going on with Varric and Solas. What is this. My poor Rook is about to ask them to get a room and walk the fuck out. Probably down a stiff drink. They don't want to be in the middle of this mess. This is the most awkward third wheel energy.

taking a step back my only conclusion is solas wanted varric in ways previously unseen on thedas

[cyanityinsanity101]

I wasn't able to stop thinking about since i watched the episodr banana cobana- why does coconut fred sleep in 2 second bursts??? Like- apparently it's 2 seconds shorter than chinstrap penguin's microsleeps.

And when looking up why chinstrap penguins would need to have microsleeps this small for reference-

WHY IS HIS SLEEP CYCLE SO SHORT, WHAT IS THIS MAN AFRAID OF TO SLEEP IN THIS SHORT OF BURSTS, YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE US THIS INFORMATION AND NOT ELABORATE ON IT WRITERS?!???

[shitpostingkats]

Since I think you have met most of the Ignis now- what's your thoughts on them so far? They are like one of my favorite things in Vrains so I wanna hear your thoughts :DDD

BOY ARE YOU IN LUCK BECAUSE I HAVE MANY MANY THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THEM! :D

For anyone who isn't op, these rambles will include SPOILERS up to the end of season two of yugioh vrains. If ye wish to not know, scroll past quickly.

Okay SO:

Ai- Little little guy. I freaking love him so much. Yugioh has pretty consistently done a Dark =/= Bad and Light =/= Good, (more on that later) and Ai is such a freaking good entry into that. Ai is the dark ignis and he's the most human of them all, messy and lazy and silly. And he's like the only one of them who has ANY non-cyberse, non-Lost Incident life experience like!!!! Of course he talks like a comments section! Of course he has free will and self awareness and the first thing he did to prove this was "exerting his free will" by rolling his eye(s)! And OH MY GOD him and Yusaku. The relationship each ignis has with their lost child is SO important to me. Ai and Yusaku are, on the surface, the most different, but where they agree is their sense of surety and their sense of freedom. Ai and Yusaku have the exact same confidence in themselves. In Yusaku, it's the self confidence of knowing he's done everything he can and is smart enough to be prepared for anything. When Ai tells him "just get lucky!" and Yusaku goes "No, I'm not going to get lucky, but I'm going to win anyway." And that's SO fascinating because Ai has that same self confidence, but essentially learned it from Yusaku, that survival response of 'I am good enough that this will work'. Yusaku taught Ai everything about asserting yourself, and it's buried beneath layers and layer of different experiences, but fundamentally they're the same, the same trauma of 'I will be better. I will be enough by myself, because I am in this alone.' and then they find they are both strong but they're stronger together and it makes me want to BITE SOMETHING.

(Readmore because this got long whoops)

Flame- Why is he britsh??? Theo isn't british. He was not made in britain nor was anyone on the project british. I can only assume he purposefully chose that accent to make himself sound smarter. I love him for it. Flame and Theo are tied up in a lot of headcanon for me, most specifically I think Theo is the lost kid who lost the most (barring Spectre, who sometimes lost on purpose) before getting the hang of the game. Thus, his whole rising from the ashes motif. Teddy and Flame are the survival response of spitting out a tooth and getting back up again. They lived through the incident by refusing to stay down, and yet somehow they came out of it as a friendly jock and a silly little nerd guy. The obvious care they have for each other absolutely sends me. Flame's argument against the war is literally "We can coexist with humans. I am coexisting with a human right now, and you cannot stop me." When his home was destroyed the first thing he did was seek out Theodore. I AM GOING INSANE. And of course Theo dropped everything and moved across the country just to help someone he really didn't know before that day ARE YOU KIDDING ME. They are involved in this entire story because they cannot comprehend not helping eachother. Also, again, jock and nerdy solidarity but the dorky guy with the glasses is the jock and the literal being of fire is the nerd.

Lightning- ALSO INSANE ABOUT HIM. JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING. Okay so like I said I have only recently finished season 2 and haven't started on 3 yet so we haven't had a whole lot of screentime with Jin so I can only guess on how they impact and inform each other but. OH MAN. I mean, I feel like I have to take a whole section just to talk about his PERFORMANCE. His english voice acting is phenomenal, just the right amount of utterly sinister, tempered with this no-nonsense confidence that feels perfect for his grand speeches of logical thinking. Lightning is terrifying, easily one if not the stand out villain performance in all of yugioh for me. You don't side with him, but the audience can see exactly how he gets from Point A to Point B, and that clarity of reason makes him both easily understandable and terrifying. And his visual aesthetics. Blinding light, scorching brilliance, the exact same electricity that the Lost Incident is so known for. Lighting shares a lot with his progenitor experiment, with both him and Revolver learn from Dr. Kogami's "The ends justify the means" approach. Really, Lightning and Revolver are the real opposed rivals here, except they're both the villain so neither one can narratively win. All they can do is ensure the other loses. And I said we haven't seen too much from Jin yet but that does not stop me from CONNECTING SOME THEMATIC DOTS. The complete and total shutdown of Jin compared to the detatched and pragmatic coldness of Lightning. Their survival instinct is disassociation. Shutting off the panicking part of the brain, and all its human responses, in favor of pure autopilot and a "Whatever It Takes" approach to ensure continued survival. Lightning rejects so much of where he cam from, but is so clearly the product of the Lost Incident, and more specifically, Jin. Of humanity. He's got this great line towards Ai where he berates him for basically screwing around in cyberspace for five years, while the rest of them were being actively targeted. Hunted. Surviving. Ai got new experiences, isn't defined as strongly by his trauma. But Lightning and Jin? Both of them completely froze their development, are still stuck in their survival instincts, and cannot move on from it. And I have a pet theory that may or may not see validation, that the Armatos Legios aren't really Lightning's. I mean, roman gladiator don't really tie into anything else about his aesthetics. No, I think no matter what he pretends, the Armatos are Jin's deck, and Lightning is still using them, after all these years.

Windy- Haha silly little fast talk guy who- THIS SIX INCH TALL LITTLE FELLA STRAIGHT UP KILLED HIS LOST KID. This little whirlygig canonically ended the life of his counterpart, something Lightning himself actually frowned upon. I think about this way too much. Windy isn't pragmatic, he isn't logical, he's the free spirited "fuck around" to Lightning's "find out". Windy does what he wants when he wants, and that's somehow equally as scary as Lightning's calculated cruelty. I am gutted we didn't get to meet or ever find out anything more about his human partner, and I'm pretty sure that's the whole point. There was a kid out there with his own struggles, his own problems, his own ways of dealing with the trauma of the Lost Incident, and we just. We will never get to meet him. Windy's kid is the first casualty in this war, and we never get to even learn his name. Also the ramifications of Windy being so cavalier about killing someone who is in some lights a version of himself, of the casual dehumanization Windy takes, not just to himself, but to his fellow Ignis. When threatening to kill Ai, Lightning had a "Well, it will kill 16% of our population, but it will ensure the safety of 84% of us." Windy has no such calculation. Windy doesn't bat an eye at his own death, or the death of another Ignis. And yet. And yet. And yet. When designing a servant for himself, Windy formed one out of a music note. A treble clef. The symbol for the start of a song. Does it mean something? Probably not. But I am freaking haunted by the idea that this wounded ai escaped a second attack on his world, and started rebuilding, not weapons, or schemes. But a new home, and one with music.

Aqua- You know, the ignis are one of the few artificial intelligences where it kinda makes sense that they have genders. Aqua is a girl because she learned from a girl. Her femininity is a gift, or a memorial. So is her kindness. Aqua is the only ignis who really internalized hope and compassion. She sees truth and she doesn't let it break her, she fights by encouraging choice, by asking for opportunity. Her refusing to tell Earth which way to feel in regards to the question of Humans vs. Ignis is such a poignant moment for me, that here is someone who understands better than anyone, what Lightning feels and how humans act, but rather than share her suspicions, she asks Earth to form his own opinion, not just listen to her as his only source. In general, I just like Earth and Aqua's dynamic so much. Two sweet protectors, two pacifists, represented by plant life and water??? Good good good visual motifs. That said, I definitely think Aqua is a character they could do a lot more with. All the other Ignis are just so weird, so charmingly strange in any conversation, that it feels a bit of a missed opportunity that Aqua seems completely "normal" and well adjusted. I also am saddened we haven't seen Miyu aside from in a coma or in flashbacks, because as I mentioned, I am utterly insane for the ignis/lost kids dynamics. But she got introduced pretty late in season two, so I'm holding out hope that we see more of Aqua (and maybe Miyu!) in season 3. Also, the crystal heart combo was some of my favorite gameplay story telling this season, hands down.

Earth- Pour one out for my guy. They really did that to him. As silly as Spectre's backstory is, it really gets me that he has this deeply unhealthy attachment to literally anyone who offers him a place to belong. And his Ignis is the protector, the caregiver. Earth, who can make flowers bloom with barely a thought, who's "socially awkward" but genuinely kind, comes from the child who just wanted attention and was at home in the forest. The freaking hardest gutpunch of the season for me was when Earth is being ripped apart, and we cut to Spectre, shedding a single tear, and he has no idea why. Also THAT'S A PLOTLINE THAT REALLY EXISTS IN YUGIOH. Earth's death is almost jump-scaringly brutal, from the same series that brought you such fun euphemisms for a character being killed as "sent to the shadow realm" and "retired retired". Yeah, no, here's a character being systematically unmade, then those leftover pieces shoved into one dude's brain. The dub could have downplayed it, but the sheer horror every character gives when Gore has his big reveal, really sells the brutality of Sol Tech towards these ai, and any living being that isn't contributing to their bottom dollar. Ryoken's cold deliverance to Ai and Flame about Earth's fate, even almost making light of the situation, had me 100% down to declare for the ignis because what the hell, you can't just do that. If Ai turns heel next season, I'm not saying I support him, but I get it. Earth's death feels like it rattles the whole narrative, in a way that forced me to be just as distraught and emotionally invested as the characters. That's good storytelling babey.

This got long, and this is barely scratching the surface on some of my thoughts for these silly little computer guys.

Needless to say, I enjoy them <3

Remember what we talked about?

What if the reason Xander was so adamant about Jiji staying at the dojo in episode 10 of Quadstrike…

Was because his own grandfather passed sometime off screen?

(And just saying, for someone who speaks so highly of his grandfather, he does not mention him a whole lot.)
