LOVE his kansai dialect so much huge shoutout to his seiyuu (kengo kawanishi) here’s 34 seconds of it from the new episode

(also whilst confirming that i wasn’t saying the wrong shit i found a thread on how his dialect gets translated in the manga from an official translator!)

i do think something that contributed a lot to my enjoyment of qsmp purgatory 1 was that i entered and operated under the assumption that the threat against the eggs was 100% grandstanding for drama, hype, and to give rp-driven players a reason for their characters to turn against their friends, so i confess to being genuinely surprised when people (and creators) were like 'we didn't know if the eggs would survive!!' which is fair of them bc that's literally what we were told, but personally i just didn't have that fear so there's not any fear or suspense tied to it for me. like qstudios lived for the clickbait so i just didn't buy it.

also i didn't have twitter looool

i hate being a fan of media/characters that have multiple different adaptations because you can explicitly say "in THIS SPECIFIC VERSION OF THE CHARACTER this thing happens" and someone will ten out of ten times respond with "wait i thought they (thing that happens in other version", OR the significantly more annoying response, "ermmm actually they do (thing that happens in other version), what YOU said was stupid" like my brother in christ how did you miss the entire first half of the sentence where i told you what version of the character i was talking about!!

I mean this as a Genuine question I am not trying to be rude I’m so sorry if it comes off that way. But your post about otasune not celebrating Christmas confused me; Cant people celebrate both? Like can’t otacon be Jewish and Also celebrate christmas? I grew up around a lot of kids who did both every year couldnt they be doing it for Sunny’s sake or something? Idk again im not trying to be rude I’m just genuinely confused

ok i will say that i was jokingly exaggerating with my wording in that post i’m not saying it’s like. a flagrant mischaracterization if you want to create/enjoy content of them doing christmasy stuff you can do whatever you want. i’m not jewish myself so i can’t speak on how common it is for people to celebrate both hannukah and christmas but i think for otacon the biggest thing would be more the fact that being alone with huey (who was absolutely not doing anything. let’s be real) for over ten years + having had essentially no friends growing up means he wouldn’t have any precedent of what spending time with his loved ones during the holidays is like. i mean you could argue that he’s always wanted to find out or whatever which like. alright i guess. i just think his (probable) general apathy towards the holidays + snake having undergone a very traumatizing experience during the same time of year would mean that they just wouldn’t care. them buying presents for sunny because she read about santa claus and them going all out decorating/dressing up/cooking are two different things

Peek-a-floof, pufflings!

We’re egg-cited to welcome the newest additions to our tufted puffin colony! These two fluffy puffin chicks (a.k.a. pufflings!) recently hatched here as part of a Species Survival Plan managed by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums that oversees the health and breeding of nearly 200 tufted puffins across 15 zoos and aquariums.

The adorable, fuzzy voids will grow up on exhibit, assisted by our un-beak-lievable aviculture and veterinary teams. You can peek at these precious pufflings among the diving birds in the Open Sea. It might be a little hard to spot them inside their burrows and they’ll be heading behind the scenes for a little while soon.  But don’t worry! They’ll be back on exhibit once they’re fully fledged. 

Chick #2’s name is… Yuzu! But we need your kelp naming Chick #1! Our animal care team has picked three options and we’re asking YOU to help us choose the perfect name by voting in the poll! ⬇️

i'm gonna add some more detail here since anon is asking in good faith. there is a really common strand in arthuriana criticism, particularly of an older kind but it still appears, which looks for weird supernatural shit in arthuriana, attributes it to the "celtic" origins of arthuriana, and assumes that it comes from older, pre-christian pagan beliefs. it makes sense that people would assume welsh arthuriana is The Pagan Bit, because a lot of writing about arthuriana could lead you to believe that!

(continued detail under the cut because this got long)

the facts as we have them are, though, that out of the early medieval peoples of britain, those who ended up becoming the welsh seem to have been christianised first. (writing in the eighth century, bede - as néide mentions in their tags - complains that the welsh did not convert the english when they arrived in britain, despite already being christian.) they are christianised so early that (unlike in old irish lit) medieval welsh literature almost never makes any reference to the welsh having been pagan at any point.* medieval welsh poetry often conceives of welsh lords as christian heroes fighting pagan enemies (the A-text of y gododdin is probably the most glaring example, but the trope appears elsewhere), even long after the rest of britain has been christianised.

*exceptions include welsh saints' lives, which often include conversion narratives, and the references in the fourth branch to "the kind of baptism they practised then", i.e. in the pre-roman period - but you'll notice that they still call it baptism.

this means welsh arthurian literature is christian from the start. the first mention of the battle of badon shows up in gildas' sixth-century work de excidio britanniae, a work written by a christian cleric aimed at other christian clerics and kings. the earliest arthurian material we have is latin, and as another commenter pointed out, it includes arthur carrying an image of the virgin mary on either his shoulders or his shield in a battle against pagans. (this is from historia brittonum, often called nennius in older scholarship, a text dated to the mid-ninth century and localised to gwynedd). and when it comes to arthurian literature in welsh, how the texts we have are dated varies from scholar to scholar and text to text, but none (to my knowledge) have been pushed back any earlier than the eleventh century, and none are preserved in manuscripts prior to the thirteenth century. this is sufficiently far into the christian period that not only had they reinvented how to calculate easter, they'd also had multiple monastic reform movements and reinvented how to canonise saints.

i think the impulse to find paganism in (welsh) arthuriana comes from an unspoken - maybe unconscious - assumption that weird supernatural shit must pre-date christianity, because christians couldn't come up with weird supernatural shit. but i have good news: medieval christians could and did come up with weird supernatural shit all the time! for the most part they just believed this was a part of life, something that neither supported christianity nor went against it. god made the world, and the world included weird shit. there are late twelfth-century miracles attributed to st cuthbert that involve figures we would now call fairies. both versions of the life of st cadoc include him performing a miracle (as part of a legal dispute with king arthur, in fact) that looks remarkably like the kind of shapeshifting magic gwydion uses in the fourth branch - he casts an illusion over some cows to make them all certain colours, and when arthur gets greedy and tries to grab them too early from the ford they're crossing, they turn into ferns and are swept away. later cadoc resurrects an ancient giant, i guess just for fun?** and leaving saints aside entirely, ronald hutton's recent book "queens of the wild" is 100% about Weird Supernatural Figures who show up in medieval belief, who neither threaten christianity nor become part of it.

**unless you can find a copy of wade-evans' vitae sanctorum britanniae i'm afraid you're going to have to take my word for this one, but i promise both of these things really do happen in all known versions of the life of cadoc.

and to bring things back to king arthur, this is also true of the earliest arthurian material! in historia brittonum - a text written at a christian court, for a people who had been christian for centuries - arthur is a christian fighting pagans with the virgin mary's aid, and a large part of the rest of the text is taken up by an account of the life of st germanus and his time in britain. the text also contains a section on the 'wonders of britain', including the grave of arthur's son amr (which changes size whenever it is measured) and 'carn cabal', a stone carrying the imprint of arthur's dog cafall's paw when arthur hunted the supernatural boar "twrch trwyth". these things do not contradict each other!

so anon, i hope this doesn't disappoint you to hear. arthuriana preserves a hell of a lot of Weird Shit, we just have no reason to think that that weird shit can only be explained as a survival of a pre-christian pagan religion, and a lot of reasons to think that medieval christians were as into Weird Shit as we are. i think that's great.

Hi, with the arthurian legenda being entirely christian, aren't there welsh legends believed to be where the arthurian legends were drived from? Sorry if i misunderstood your point but tmk the christian elements were added later. Not trying to start anything tbc i am honestly curious

the welsh material is also christian, hope this helps 💚
