still insanely funny to me that ortus nigenad has canonically written 18 volumes of epic poetry about a bodyguard who was, in fact, Just Some Guy, and regularly quotes himself out loud in conversations on the regular. man had to die at the start of gtn because he was too fucking powerful to live

hc that xie lian was a nice kid but he never really understood how basic things worked because he never had to do them. so sometimes he would request mu qing to do something absurd like wash and get his clothes ready IN AN HOUR because he has to leave for his parents soon or make him a dish there would take days to prepare for a lunch and mu qing would stare at him thinking if xie lian would ever survive living on his own.

People always talk about how it's questionable that trainers in the Pokemon universe should be allowed to catch legendaries, but I feel like that overlooks the fact that:

Pokemon can disobey their trainers, leave their pokeballs whenever they want, and choose what trainers they want to partner with, so some kid having a legendary is really not any more dangerous than them being out in the wild

In fact I'd argue it's substantially less dangerous than having them out in the wild. A captured Kyogre will probably not cause any serious trouble while a wild Kyogre will flood half of Hoenn because Groudon looked at it wrong

Update: The Human AU I Write Because I Feel Bad About What I Do to Them in Nationverse

Chapter 1: Shit Tea and a Lovely Sandwich

Arthur meets the rest of his life on a rainy day in an unfamiliar city.

Chapter 2: Hard Day and a Difficult Discussion

Seven years later, from Chapter 1. Matt has a migraine, and Arthur and Francis are at odds about how to handle it.

Chapter 3: Baby Boy and Blueberry Blood Orange Marmalade

The next day, the same migraine, the same issues. Shamelessly fluffy h/c.

Chapter 4: Intelligence Sharing and Shift Change

It's not easy trying to raise two boys, but at least Arthur and Francis do it together.

New! Chapter 5: For I have become death, destroyer of nostrils

Out of the frying pan and into football practice. Er, soccer practice, that is.

I think Dazai, while young, became attached to Natsume when Natsume was lonely and so was he (which is why he calls him Sensei in the Dark Era, like the protagonist in Kokoro); that Natsume brought Dazai to Mori after Dazai attempted suicide (which is why Dazai never touches him in Bar Lupin, why Natsume follows him from the Port Mafia to his meeting with Taneda and then to the Agency, why Dazai knows Natsume well enough to allude to his history to Tanizaki and to recieve the jump drive Natsume brings him in the Cannibalism arc— Dazai knows him); and that Natsume performed a partial skill transfer similar to Kyouka's mother to ensure it could not come that close ever again (and that's why Dazai is one of the few if not only touch/contact-based skill users whose is involuntary).

I think No Longer Human isn't merely nullification, I think (similar to how Bram's skill reverses death but through the framework of vampirism and Atsushi's slices skills and regenerates in addition to his transformations), there is more to Dazai's skill such that it precludes him from dying (which is why he can stand in front of a hail of bullets and be thrown by Chuuya through several buildings in the Port Mafia, why he can't seem to commit suicide successfully, why Kunikida and Chuuya remark on his preternatural inability to die, why Dazai says to both Atsushi and Fyodor with such certainty "you can't kill me," and, cheekily, why Kunikida tells Dazai in 55 Minutes "You're no longer human! You've lost that right!" when Dazai says he finally managed to die, however briefly).

I think Natsume's skill bends reality in the shape of the narrative structure over which he had such mastery and he decided that whoever he failed to snatch from the cyclical jaws of misery and suicide before (again, borrowing from Kokoro), he would not let this boy die; and how cruel that must have felt at first (which is why Dazai hates pain— he's been denied the easiest escape from it that he knows), but how reality bent to weave a narrative such that Dazai could be saved again and again in such a way that might shatter Koroko's inescapable loneliness (this is why, in 55 Minutes, it's implied HG Wells might not have existed, might have been an apparition from an earlier era, as if reality itself rippled space and time to reconjure someone who made sense to protect Dazai when it seemed unlikely anyone else could; why Akutagawa happened to have business there; why Akutagawa and Atsushi happened to cross paths).

It's well known that the titular cat in I Am a Cat is a calico. But, the story was based on Natsume's IRL cat, who was a black, striped cat. And aren't Dazai's bandages a little like stripes?

Been learning gallifreyan for the funzies this shit is ADDICTING it’s SO FUN and there’s so much possible variation

First attempt (my name)

How I would imagine Theta writes Koschei’s name - his adhd ass is not sitting still to write it down neatly lol

How Koschei writes Theta’s name, he on the other hand has very good handwriting, from what I understood his family is p strict so I feel like they’d make him write properly lol

And then this is my magnum opus (so far)

I picked the longest word I could think of, so long in fact I had to use a mini word circle in the bigger one bc otherwise it wouldn’t have fit lol

For those who are interested, I used this guide:

EDIT: for anyone reading this post I’ve got a gallifreyan project I’ve finished so if you’re interested, check out my blog :]

Tbh I have a lot of complicated feelings about the whole OceanGate thing and I'm not really a fan of how this is being treated as The Evergiven 2, but as it becomes more and more likely that the sub suffered a critical failure and imploded days ago my main thought is that visiting the Titanic's wreck should be in the same category as climbing Mt. Everest; a pointless, unfathomably dangerous, disrespectful excursion that should not be allowed, or at least regulated and reserved for experts who know what they're doing to conduct research and/or matinance.

I mean like at this point I don't even think the average person should know where Titanic is. What is the benefit? All it leads to is death and the disruption and/or potential destruction of a mass gravesite that also doubles as a unbelievably valuable historic artifact that will not be around forever. Why the hell are people just allowed to go down there?? We don't let people go rub their hands all over the Mona Lisa, and that wouldn't even kill anyone, why can billionaires just go tromping around in far more deadly and fragile locations, especially ones where hundreds of people have already died?

But yeah idk there's no real point in adding my input to the discussion and I kinda don't want to comment on it beyond this anyway, but the whole situation sucks and def makes it clear there are simply some things people should not be allowed to do no matter how much goddamn money they have.
