Are iciclestalk and Glowstar mates?

they are mates, yes! they have been since moon 5 i believe ^^ i didnt necessarily make a point to address it, which is my fault tbh, but they’re such a subtle pair that i think they wouldn’t make a big fuss about it. to me, they just love each other and care about each other, and thats all that matters!

Thanks for answering my question about asks and requests (: you are very kind

As an ask then how do you think the Weasels will be when drunk? I don't think they are all so inclined to drink, Stu for example seems too childlike for it, but it's a fun scenario to imagine 🍷

Of course!! ^^ Sorry it took me a moment to respond to this one, work is exhausting 😅

Toon Patrol x Drinking

Greasy: Greasy values his wit and self control (... when it doesn't involve pretty women I mean) too much to partake. Even if everyone else is drinking and acting like drongos around him he'll be sharp as a knife.

Psycho: L o v e s to try a new drink XD According to him they're like little gas leaks in his mouth and chest and he loves the horrible feeling! XD Generally Psy wont get d r u n k, cuz he only tries a few sips each time, but if Stu is on a roll with making them then Psycho w i l l end up pissed and thats not good for anyone 😅 If you thought e was feral before- you haven't seen him on all fours moving at Top Speed.

I raise you (or anyone else who may feel compelled to respond XD ) another thought: Psycho and energy drinks XD

Smartass: Honestly I cant really see Smartass drinking that much 🤔 if ever 🤔 I feel like people will disagree with me but... eh. Maybe sometimes he'll have something? If he's REALLY stressed and annoyed?? XD

Stupid: I actually think Stupid w o u l d be a drinker!! XD I dunno, to each their own of course!! ^^💛💛💛 I just don't really think of Stupid as childlike. I think of him as d u m b, of course, really really dumb, but not childlike. I think he'd be the one experimenting with mixes and different cocktails?? XD Just imagining Stu in the kitchen shaking up a drink and offering a taste to Psy and Wheezy XD And Stu taking on the group therapist mantel when he's got that shaker in his ands, like *hands Wheezy a pink drink like a flower* duhh are you okay?? do ya wanna talk about it?? And Smartass automatically handing the drink menu over to him (Which Stu immediately ours through, like 'ooh!') if they go out XD Stu is a big boy, too, so its hard for him to get truly h a m m e r e d, but he can get there XDD Luckily, he's a nice drunk! XD

Wheezy: Wheezy can f o r s u r e hold his booze the best XD It takes a lot to get him drunk (even tipsy). If he drinks, it doesn't really take away any of his inhibitions; its just to loosen up. He's definitely one to go for a few drinks at the end of the week (He needs it after working with these freaks XD)... but its usually interrupted with a. Greasy being there and hitting on someone and him having to bail Greasy's horny green ass outta trouble (Unless he just ignores it, which is more common. But even then Greasy will d r a g him into it XD *Greasy getting dragged from the pub* el fumador help meeee! i'm being falsely accused!! Wh- dont ignore me!- hey! you with the body odor!!- fucks sake.), b. Smartass drags them back to work. In either case, he is sure to down s o m e t h i n g before he's gotta get up off the bar stool he feels he belongs on.

one, what otp(s) in your fandom do you just not get ?, five, has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you ?, & 11, is there an unpopular character that you like that fandom doesn't ? why ?

Welcome to the Salty Spittoon

So, again, caveat of I was the wrong age to play OoT for the full effect, but Link/Malon does nothing for me. I sort of get it in the sense that a lot of people love the childhood sweethearts angle and I do think the horse girl movie sense is cute, but neither of those do much for me. Part of it is that I'm used to working with Link in the context of "battle scarred man who can't even talk about what happened to him because it technically didn't happen in this timeline" and I have a hard time seeing him with happy-go-lucky Malon, but I really think my age is the major dividing factor again here. I didn't fall in love with Malon the same way a lot of people did when they played it first so she's as significant to me as any of the Kakiriko refugees.

I'm not gonna lie to you guys, I don't actually take shipping that seriously. I do write a lot of it, especially on here, but when it comes to canon pairings I've always been very live and let live about the affair. I think the closest that fandom's come to ruining a ship for me was Mrs. Lovett/Sweeney Todd back in the day, but that was a weird situation because I always saw it as just "hey wouldn't it be fucked up if" and the fandom romanticized the hell out of it. I'm all for writing awful people being awful together, but for lack of a better term, they woobified the relationship and I wasn't there for it. I ended up dropping it entirely anyway for something that started as a crackship, but that's a story for another day.

I actually thought of one this time! Ashai, who teaches cooking and courtship in Gerudo Town! Hear me out, she is an absolute HOT MESS but that's why I love her. I love her weird weeabooism for Hyrule, I love her "I accidentally had a boyfriend at 13 so now I'm telling all my 12 year old friends what true love is like" attitude, I love the nightmare of a love triangle she's in with Ishta and that random Hylian chef, I just think she's neat! I do understand the frustration with botw/totk Gerudos occasionally being obsessed with love quests, but I don't think that Ashai deserves to bear the brunt of sloppy writing in this case. She's a disaster and I love her.

Akechi is quite a diversive character. Did you know there are diffrences in the dialouge throughout the game based on if you have done his confidant or not?

If you want to learn more about the characters, arcana, and/ or Japanese details and settings that come as part of the experience but may fly over western audiances heads, check out Lady Virgilia, a japanese amarican with a degree in social and political science, who makes some pretty fantastic videos on the topics.

For writing reaserch maybe (fingers crossed)

I've done pretty much only two things for the past two weeks: write a dimiclaude comm, and play this game. So rest assured I will be cooking up a fic in the near future.

That being said: I'm waiting for two P5R playthroughs before forming a solid opinion on both what Akechi is supposed to be and what he ends up being, because my feelings toward him did essentially a 180 after the introduction of the third semester, which according to word on the street is Royal-exclusive and not in the base game. The current plan is to do a NG+ run aiming for the exact same ending, to see if my initial impressions hold true--because they were never 100% uncharitable. But I'll bit my tongue until I at least whoop Maruki's ass lmao.

Anyway, I've saved LadyVirgilia's Akechi video to my Watch Later, which I'll watch after th NG+ run, and the rest I'll listen to as I actually do the run because I'm a sucker for meta content ❤️.

I didn't look that hard, but I'd love if there were a datamine for P5R; it's an unfair ask given the scope of the game, but FE3H's is eternally my best friend and most handy dandy tool for writing 💔 might just have to poke my nose around YouTube instead.

Could you point who all of the kids are in your new photo? My apologies I know you've named all of the grandchildren before but I can't find the post for it.

Hiya! Don't worry about it! It's been a while since I posted them anyways so I'm happy to share their names again 🥰

Under the protection of the squid meme, I'm going to venture a take that might be very dumb:

I've seen fans trying to parse how exactly social status works in mdzs. Obviously, the rigorous way to go about that would be to know the context for the novel much better than i do.

However, to myself, I kind of think of individual status being determined kind of through the same mechanisms as in chivalric romances and epics and the like, with that kind of tension between birth and merit.

I think the comparison doesn't hold up when it comes to how both characters and the narrative address issues of loyalty, which is something I like to turn over in my head like a rotisserie chicken, and perhaps the subject for a better-informed post

[striving-artist]

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

[vigilantdesert]

how would you describe urbosa's morality ? what are their core values ?

Urbosa is fundamentally neutral good. In many ways as a leader, she's very utilitarian, in that she wants to maximize welfare for the greatest number of people, and even if she holds a few traditional views that make that difficult, she's usually willing to compromise to better her peoples' lives. I say neutral good instead of lawful good because her morality doesn't restrict her to purely lawful means, despite her word being law. There are a few situations which require finesse, actions that are, strictly speaking, extrajudicial, and good old fashioned violence is usually on the table of solutions. She pays respect to traditions, but she's willing to cooperate with historical enemies for the greater good, and she's ultimately guided by the needs of her people.

I will say, that dedication to her people can be twisted. In other verses, it's what guides her toward immorality, like in her mafia verse or her reversed morality verses. She can be blinded by the plights of her own people, which stops her from seeing pain in others. Occasionally this raises its head in her main verses too, but usually her cooler head prevails.

do you think a 5'4 and 6'2 height difference is predatory?

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).
