great i'm at my parents place about to go to bed and my mom drops a fun little puzzle in my lap i desperately want to get on but im so tireeeeddddd

She dug up these coins that my great grandmother seemed to have passed down the generations hoping it'd be worth something one day and every source online has either SUPER conflicting results or I'm simply not fine enough of an eye to slog through the counterfeits

for the morning, are any of yall numismatists? I feel like if any corner of the internet there might be a rando thats just SUPER into hundred-year-old chinese coins, it'd be this corner. in the meantime im going to bed

One thing that particularly annoys me about the Kai Winn hate is how it strips her of her actual power.

I've seen so much people comparing her to their catechism teacher or another uber-catholic conservative woman of their life, and... she's the most powerful Bajoran in the show! She's the Kai, at some point she seems like the de-facto head of diplomacy, and for a moment she is even the head of state! She has 2 Coup attempts on her record!

Even before she's elected, she's a proper dangerous reactionary, with a political doctrine and an important base of followers. Along with Dukat and Weyoun, she is THE political character of the show. And she's so grey! So real!

I don't want to compare her to one of today's fascist either, but I feel she's kinda similar to De Gaulle ? (One of the leader of the French resistance and post WW2 political leader, and then president.)

Someone with an authoritarian doctrine who became a face of liberty and resistance (more or less peacefully). A radically Conservative politician who rose to prominence because of governmental instability, and strangely became a voice of moderation and stability. Someone "respectable".

Definitely an opportunist but also they haven clear limits. Her line is "No Cardassia, no Federation", but it really is No Cardassia first. Unlike Jaro.

Some info about De Gaulle to make my points : During the Algerian war of independence, the putschists of Alger wanted him to take power in a new military government. He declined their offer but immediately was named 1st minister by the president. And then... he instored a new Constitution tailored to his view of France. Does anyone see where I'm going with the comparison?

Back to Adami. They toned it down a lot after her first appearance, but she has this criminal side that's proper to fascists. I'm pretty fascinated by Bareil's view of her. She tried to have him killed, and then blackmailed him, and he's like "Maybe it's the will of the Prophets. She will need our help."

When it's Dukat, it's all "he's so charismatic and complicated tho", but the best Kai Winn get is "Louise Fletcher makes me hate her so bad!" Honestly, I think she is more complicated and interesting and grey than he is

The fandom rarely undermine his power. Same for the other villains who are actually "evil" : Lady Founder, who is too frightening to undermine, Intendant Kira and Emperor Gieorgou (probably because of the Camp factor), and the Borg Queen.

And I don't think Winn is evil. She's a realistic authoritarian/reactionary. In the end, I think she does care about the Bajoran people. But she thinks she knows best, she think they need a strong hand and she's the best qualified

A few people have asked so: Louis is 174cm (around 5'8?) and Nat is 186cm (6'1?). Btw Kai is 178cm (5'10?) and Taro is the tallest despite being the youngest with 188cm(6'2?)!

As me and my mom left the pub today, there was a fancy ass car (that looked like a funeral car tbh) pulling up where the driver, who was dressed in a whole ass waistcoat, jumped out and opened the doors for the two passengers which like, genuinely what the fuck?

Like, this pub used to be half pub, half Wacky Warehouse and it's the Wacky Warehouse where the staff had to get bolt cutters out to get the door open when I got stuck in the toilet stall at my uncle's birthday meal. Like to give you a reference for how fancy it is round here.

Anyway, once we drive off, we end up behind him and as my mom's about to pull into a car park that's got a McDonald's and a B&M and like a Heron, like that kind of place, Mr Fancy-Funeral-Car indicates he's turning in there too.

Even more fascinating than outside the pub. As we were driving, we were talking about what the situation is. My mom reckons he works at a funeral home and he's dropping his mates off at the pub and that he has to open the door for them because the backdoors have child-locks because, to quote, "well, they don't want anyone getting out." Meanwhile, I'm working with the assumption that it's like a fancy version of Uber.

And so when he turns into the car park, we're both like "who the fuck could he be picking up here?", especially as he drives towards McDonald's. Like now our assumptions are: 1) someone fancy is sitting in McDonalds, 2) someone bad with money is sitting in McDonalds, or 3) he's going to McDonalds before picking his mates up again.

This is a mystery and we are hooked, but first we have to grab some stuff from B&M, which again, indicates the general income level of people round here. We're buying ravioli and noodles in B&M; this is not an area where people have personal drivers.

Once we're done in B&M, all thoughts of Funeral Car Fancypants have left my brain because I have been reminded of the whole Quite Disabled™ Thing.

But then as we're driving past, we see him leaving McDonalds with a coffee in his hand and suddenly I'm on tenterhooks again, and me and my mom are like cooking at this point, just making up this entire backstory for this guy.

And so by the time we get home, we've basically invented a blorbo who inherited a block paving business from his dad but by stroke of luck won the lottery and decided to hire a butler to cater for all of his wants and needs, but hasn't bought a new house with the money because he's a hustle grind bro who has either invested it all in the stock market and/or cryptocurrency which means he only has a butler (and doesn't really know what a butler is meant to do) and his butler lives in a spare room. He has had his house renovated though so he has an obnoxiously large conservatory, and one of those baths that's up like three or four steps. He also has like the car equivalent of a figurehead for his Tesla, which he never drives by the by, that he is constantly replacing because it's constantly being stolen because he is not going to park his Tesla in his garage, no sir, this is a status symbol, it is on the drive. Also he looks like Steve from across the road. No matter who you are, he looks like Steve from across the road to you.

Is something happening with the Kaidan ppl again 👀

okay i was quiet on this and other asks on my posts cus it wasn't my space to say anything till those effected spoke up but tldr

Dan threatened to sue over Kaidan being revoiced by saying he owned the IP of the character (yknow...false. That's like saying Christopher Judge owns Kratos or Hiddleston owns Loki cus they voice/play the characters lmao)

Also is hunky-dory liking/interacting with conservative, transphobic bs, as seen in my updated pinned/Cwahsonts post here (general warning for transphobic bs & J0ann the t*rf) [x]

So yknow, totally normal human being behavior 🤷 Cus being a decent person is ooooh so hard to do

@vaultgirl2077 will probably agree with me about the fact that this is my best drawing this year (last year??? lol) and I can only hope to surpass myself

Finally started working on my werewolf Lawrusso fic again last night and these are the first two hints on the daily crossword are you fucking kidding me NYT???

[zappedbyzabka]

SO I was going through the Johnny x Cobra tag like normal when I saw a thing about the Cobras and Daniel fucking Johnny within an inch of his life but consider this, johnny getting regularly fuck by the cobras and secretly ducking Daniel on the side

One day the cobras show up at the mansion, Sid and his mom are out for the week like usual, having planned this ‘hang out’ weeks ago but Johnny forgot about it so instead he invited Daniel over to you know, fuck but then the cobras walk in on them and decide to join

Whatever you want to add or happen idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

The cobras were not happy when they walked in on their Johnny getting fucked by LaRusso, and getting fucked good at that; sobbing and clawing at Daniel’s back, shamelessly asking through his tears for Daniel to cum inside him. Bobby has to hold Dutch back before he presumably tried to beat Daniel bloody, at least based on the wild look Bobby saw in his eyes.

And Daniel can’t help but smile at their shocked, jealous faces. Yeah, he’s fucking their leader, and there’s nothing they can do about it because he has Johnny addicted to his cock.

Thankfully, no one beats anyone up, thanks to Johnny’s sudden begging that they all fuck him, and the cobras and Daniel turn into perfect diplomats for the sake of that—even going so far as to kiss and jerk each other whenever Johnny is too busy getting fucked stupid by the other guys.

They still kick Daniel out after a certain point—they aren’t that good at sharing.

I don’t think you guys understand how dangerously close I am to just. Fangirl about Okami on here for dozens of posts. I just. In this thesis I will--

There’s so much I wanna say about the game, and 99% of it is very positive and highly biased KJSHG, just everything from the soundtrack to art to characters to story to scenes that make me cry every single time I see them and I replayed the game a hundred percent several times and am not tired of it.

im at the point where i immediately exit the page if i read the word "algorithm" or "AI" on a product specifications even when i genuinely dont know what it means.

i have no idea if "AI-enhanced calls" on headphones is like gibberish or actually a thing, and if it is a thing, is it bad?

i just automatically assume it is, and so i just went and bought the same pair of headphones i always do instead.
