I’m sure this is not a novel observation, but it still really tickles me that Trials and Tribble-ations is so genuinely plot relevant. That final, quick sight gag determines the course of the entire Dominion War.
Rom was on the maintenance team when those tribbles overran the station, and that’s exactly why he understood how to destroy the morale of anyone else who tried to occupy it. He put a bomb in a tribble.
#he didn’t even need to think about it that hard#it made such an impression on him that the solution was obvious#he was probably dealing with those beasts for weeks offscreen#maybe he was even idly thinking about such devices while on tribble duty#to the point where he had something half designed in his head#like yeah these are von neumann probes so they’d be a familiar concept to most space folks#but that’s different from having actionable designs#for a specific use case#rom ds9#ds9#star trek#deep space nine#star trek shitposting#ds9 call to arms#ds9 spoilers

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

Thinking about how they have a Future Boy Conan reference picture of each other.
૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა 💕
#OhMG I can't help it. Connie: Is this a butterfly?#Hehe Lion and his boopable nose#connverse#Adorbssssss 🥰🥰😊#Connie Maheswaran#Steven Quartz Universe#SU#Steven Universe#Steven Universe Future#I'm pretty sure there was a poster where these specific pics/pose of Lana and Conan were used. Not 100% sure though.#my shiz#Future Boy Conan#screenshot#Not me thinking Steven's picture being her motivational poster while she studies.#I mean. Actually? yeah. I'll be convinced if you tell me that's 100% the case.#I think there was a fanfic(?) about how part of the reason Connie was so stunned when Steven proposed was that#it was suppose to happen at least AFTER her studies.#She was like: 🤤💭 (ignore the drool but imagine she's making this face minus the drooling.) 'Yes. I'll graduate; get a job. I will be#sustainable enough and marry the heck of this magic boy.' But then WEDDING PROPOSAL JUMPSCARE BEFORE ALL THAT COULD HAPPEN

everybody's a theatre nerd on here until it's time to appreciate that comedy as a medium is just as rich & fascinating & culturally important as tragedy
#more so honestly in some cases to me. not w that specific example but it can be.#from a cultural & linguistic & political standpoint there's just So much going on#thoughts#like even just reading plautus' latin compared to other latin lit we have it's got just a different style & rhythm & approach it's so cool#it feels like a window into a whole area of latin as a living language people used that you don't get elsewhere

it’s wild to me that like every modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes (and by modern I mean “made recently” not “set in modern times”) is like Hell Bent on coming up with a Reason™️ that Watson stays with Holmes and trots around with him on adventures all the time despite the inconvenience and the danger and all, and so it’s like “oh, Watson’s a gambling addict, he loves uncertainty and mystery” or “oh, Watson’s an adrenaline junkie, he gets off on being constantly in danger from criminals” or even like “Watson’s atoning for sins of the past of BEING IN THE WAR by solving crimes with Holmes now” or WHATEVER. And it’s like, girl, maybe he’s just in love! Did you think of that?? Maybe he’s got a crush and it’s making him do stupid things. Maybe he’s just got bad taste and his type is guys who don’t know how to refold newspapers properly but can identify different types of cigar ash by sight, smell, and taste. And wrote a monograph on the subject. Maybe he’s down bad is all. I mean, Keep is simple, stupid!!!
#this whole problem also requires the extra step of making Holmes into someone who’s like actively cruel and terrible to Watson specifically#which like he also isn’t in canon at all#he’d probably be an inconvenient roommate that not everyone would personally want to put up with#but he’s not like endangering Watson all the time and interfering in his affairs constantly#The way writers always adapt him doing#so like it’s a problem they’re inventing and then writing a silly solution for#and no one better come for me for ‘bad taste’ I was trying to be funny and also Holmes is insane#the fact that Watson took one look at him and his bonkers lifestyle and pledged his life to him is just proof that Watson is also insane#in the when harry met Sally way of ‘thank god these two found each other and spared the rest of us the trouble’#anyway this is all part and parcel with the way writers who adapt Holmes don’t understand Watson#and even people who LIKE Holmes and get his deal still rarely get what makes Watson great#BUT that’s an essay for a different time and I won’t get into it now#sherlock holmes#john watson#doctor watson#acd#acd canon#tagging this as canon is sooo silly sorry but I don’t know what else to put#also worth noting that like the idea of working with Holmes as this chronically super dangerous thing is also silly#Like a solid percentage of their cases are solved from the comfort of baker street#there’s definitely some dangerous cases (‘bring your revolver’ is a meme for a reason after all) but like not enough of them#that you can make a strong case for John Watson: Adrenaline Junkie™️#except that modern writers make every case life or death high stakes serious so like….thats where it comes from#ANYWAY

#persona 3#persona 3 spoilers#minato arisato#makoto yuki#ryoji mochizuki#aigis#ryomina#lizzy does art#HELLO EVERYONE!!! march 5th is upon us again so i bring... my contribution for this year. my third year drawing for it!#i made the thumbnail for this a few weeks after last year's graduation day#i thought it would be fun to lean into the ryominaigis angle of graduation day (you could read this as minato/aigis if you like-#but i feel like most people would read it as ryoji/minato)#IN ANY CASE working on this made me very emotional over this game :') (specifically minato)#i really enjoy how p3 ends it's such a nice way of wrapping up the narrative's messages and themes#working on this. minato's kindness was at the forefront of my mind throughout the piece#and i really wanted to capture how. ultimately it was his decision to sacrifice himself- to do the great seal#while to an outsider's perspective it is. sad that minato passes. i think becoming the seal is something that minato-#actively welcomes. in the same way that death (ryoji) is a comfort to him because death was housed in him for Ten YearsTM#AND I ALSO GOT REALLY SAD OVER AIGIS TOO. i still get fucked up over how in fes's animated cutscene for 3/5 they portray-#her as human and not drawing the robot parts so i wanted to do something smilar here...#but also i am very sad on aigis's behalf because she discovers her humanity through minato and realizes what she-#wants to do and then. well. minato is like. he's ready to pass on (even if he's scared) and im like. OH MY GOD THIS TRIO GETS ME MESSED UP#this was more coherent in my head LOL BUT ough i like drawing p3 and working through my feelings about it...#anyway! happy (in quotations) march 5th. i love this game to bits. it's so fun to draw for this day every year and see how i've improved#if you've read all this thank you :) lizzy appreciates you all very much. mwah! <3

Heyyyyy Dollface!! Finally drew it again.. Girl who is more scared of you than you are of it. She is gonna throw him out of her apartment squealing like she touched a bug
#I was gonna draw Sam with some companions but I forgor.#Shes mostly sane except if she is within 100 yards of a humanoid doll. in which case it is getting assimilated.#She WILL rip a toy from a childs hand. She needs to GROW.#look outside#look outside game#art#digital art#fanart#look outside oc#look outside Sam#dollface oc#AGH regretting that I didnt think to add wallpaper. Her apartment is decorated like a grandmas house.#Specifically my grandmas house. who collects dolls. They are on every surface.#She has a shelf dedicated to clowns in the bedroom I use. Behind them is a mirror so even if I turn them around they still watch me sleep#Its a miracle I turned out as normal as I did <- (did not turn out normal)

you know how in jp news articles they sometimes use one single headshot for every new article about celebrities/public figures?
hc that when shinichi returns to public post-bo, he slowly goes back to solving cases but has become less welcoming to the paparazzi so the news outlets have no choice but to use the last popular headshot of shinichi he willingly let them take for all their future articles


they haven't been able to get a decent headshot of shinichi in years cause although he doesn't ask for his name to not be reported whenever he gets involved in a case anymore, he is still averse to dealing with the paparazzi. division 1 sort of adopted him as one of their own even though he's a private detective so they happily speak in his stead as per his request.
kaito collects these newspaper clippings and then eventually prints out web article screenshots too to collect all the articles about shinichi with the same headshot cos he thinks it's cute and hilarious lmao
kaito, hattori, and hakuba sort of have a bet for how long til the paparazzi gets a new headshot (kaito cheats sometimes when he can, sabotaging and destroying data when they actually manage to take a picture lol)
also usually with marriage announcement news, jp news outlets put separate headshots of the couple beside each other. now imagine if kaishin gets married in their 30s and the media still only has the same 16 yr old shinichi photo. it would be a side by side photo of this hot af dolled up professionally shot headshot of the world renowned magician kuroba kaito and this old ass picture of famous private detective kudou shinichi lmaoooo. kaito's stans fighting for their life under the comments like:
>>NOT TODAY FBI THAT'S AN OLD PHOTO OF A GROWN ASS MAN [insert candid photo of older shinichi]
>>>i think the fbi would let anything slide for kudou ngl
>>now why would they use that shinichi photo he looks like a baby there 💀💀💀
>>y'all rly setting up kaito with this one 😭
alternatively, i think the media gets desperate and just puts a candid photo of older shinichi or grabs a photo from sonoko's ig (one of the few public social media accounts you can see photos of shinichi). bonus points if it's a photo of shinichi with a cropped kaito. the comments would be like:
>>why'd y'all crop out kaito they're literally getting married LMFAOOO 😭😭😭😭
>>just use the whole damn photo for them both 💀
>>someone in staff really loves this one kaito headshot cos he's literally on the photo with shinichi but they still cropped him just to put this one instead lol i respect it
i don't think shinichi feels strongly about this one way or the other. as long as his privacy is protected then he's all good. perhaps eventually he'll warm up to the idea of facing the paparazzi again even if not wholly the same as how he did back when he was 16 but the thought of kaito's amused giggling over his silly shinichi article collection puts a smile on shinichi's face so maybe he puts a little effort into not getting caught into taking a new headshot.
and also, shinichi wants to control who gets to win that bet between kaito, hattori, and hakuba LOL
#kaishin#dc prattles#i wanna compile all my socmed kaishin au hcs uggghhhhhhhh#i'll just slowly vomit it out like this maybe idk lol#anyway i just think it would be funny if the press only has that one shinichi photo left lmfao#also i dont think ALL articles mentioning shinichi would be using this photo ofc#usually the photos they use esp for criminal cases like these are like wide shots of the scene of the crime or something like that#not really a headshot#but yeah from time to time there will be articles with that specific shinichi photo and kaito absolutely loves it lmao

Do you think being aware of the different elements in art or just ordinary objects can make the process of actually making art difficult? I get that it's about balance and unity of it all, but being introduced to so many concepts early on feels like too much. Almost feels like learning to make art digitally for the first time -> introduced to all these neat gadgets but no idea how to use them or where

This is a crazy good point anon & very important. YES I think it makes it exponentially harder





#Image is random drawing I didn’t really want to post it but posting without images is scary lol#Don’t tell me if I’ve posted it before I don’t know if I have and I don’t want to#PS You probably shouldn’t take any advice from me about this specific thing ever if you value your health#Value your wellbeing please it’s all you have lol. I do not take this advice and it makes me very stupid#Always prefacing my posts with none of this might apply in like a week who cares#no one here even has a clue what my actual ideas about art subject are outside of fanart. They could be terrible you wouldn’t know#Also also if it helps shifting my reading focus to postwar illustrators really helped me stop panicking about meaning#But I know that might not apply to everyone. Illustratory art & fine art discussions are something the internet has kind of lost#when it used to be a very pivotal to the art scene for a long time & still is to an extent in reality#anyways it means something different to everyone I won’t get into it but just in case anyone wants my ubersubjective cents#I just think you’re very very good anon you’re asking me good questions. That’s a very good thing to think about#ask

NO MORE ASSOCIATING THINGS WITH FEMMES ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE PINK!HYPERFEM FEMMES ARE GREAT AND I LOVE YOU CAMPY FEMMES WHO EMBODY PINK BUT ALSO JESUS CHRIST CAN YOU GUYS NOT GO MORE THAN ONE DAY W/O TRYING TO SHOEHORN FEMMES INTO BEING ONLY PINK UWU BABIES. I AM FEMME AS IN GRASS AS IN DIRT AS IN TREE BARK AS IN WEEDS SPROUTING THROUGH THE SIDEWALK CEMENT. FEMME AS IN GENDER NONCONFORMITY AS IN FUCK YOU MY FEMININITY IS WHAT *I* SAY IT IS. FEMME AS IN DEPTH AND DARKNESS AND WARMTH AND TERROR. FEMME AS IN CAVES. FEMME AS IN LIGHTNING. FEMME AS IN AN AMALGAMATION OF TRAITS THAT I HAVE DECIDED ARE FEMININE REGARDLESS OF WHAT SOCIETY SAYS. FUCK IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?!???
#personal#i am emotional yes#over the years ive had this blog I've made a few posts abt being femme#nd whether they're serious or jokey..... inevitably someone in the tags goes “ohhh yeah bc pink”#or in the case of what inspired this post: someone going “what about the pink ones” on my praying mantis post#and im just.#sick of it. im sick of femme being equated to pink and frilly girlie behaviors.#im sick of femme being equated to skirts and heels. to makeup. to skincare. to pristine nails exactly almond shaped.#im sick of ppl acting like All femmes aspire to this shit. im sick of femms being reduced to this shit.#and i love pink! i love pink! my phone theme is quite literally just black and pink all over.#im just. so tired of any expression of Femme identity being shoehorned into being a Specific type of femininity#especially as someone who DOES get dysphoric wearing skirts. wearing dresses. embodying the femme aesthetic yall are so set on making#if u guys wanna rb this i truly dont care#i just needed to scream#and this is one small thing#but the 2nd largest category of anon hate i have gotten since making this blog is str8 up homophobia from other “queer” folks#saying i cant be femme bc of how i present. calling me slurs (and using them as such) bc they cant understand femme as anything but that#my wife and i have our users in our personal discord server set as 2 different things of anon hate ive gotten#i have had OTHER FEMMES tell me i am not femme. femmes who Know im femme who still call me butch. femmes who ive corrected and been blocked#-by bc of it. the number 1 largest demographic of queerfolk who have me blocked rn is TME femmes who embody pink also#and i dont think its a coincidence at all. (and i know this bc i go to try and follow these ppl bc they get rbed on my dash & i cant)#and ik their blogs arent deleted bc some of them don't block my wife (tall. white. butch) and it cant be politics cause her and i rb#a lot of the same political shit (fuck. i think she rbs More than i do even. this is genuinely mainly a nsft blog)#and usually i don't say anything but im having a bad day so i get to be angry about this and if anyone fucking tries me i will block u#idc if we've been mutuals 4ever. im judt so tired of feeling like i am not Enough as a femme bc i dont embody this shit#im sick of this lameass lip service to he/him gnc femmes etc when the thin white 50s housewife femme is still what is preferred and loved#im sick of this lamesss lip service when y'all feel entitled to theorizing on other femmes genders bc u cant conceptualize a femme who does#wanna be hypetfeminine. im sick of it. im sick of it. im sick of it.#celebrity bun

Page 15 of my Miraculous Mentor AU comic A Matter of Trust! With a fleeting glance at some previous Miraculous holders... 👀
Index | Start | Prev | Next
Weekly updates each Sunday! You can also read ahead early on Patreon (which is getting THREE brand new pages tonight!), and/or buy me a Ko-fi if you'd like to support my work! 💖
#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#A Matter of Trust#felix sphinx#bridgette cheng#richard sphinx#herakles#ladybug of ancient egypt#josie's art#implying there are various miraculous in use around the world; NOT that egypt and greece are opposite sides of the globe lmao#just in case it reads that way; i promise i'm not dumb :'D#i imagine traditionally the miraculous should be kept at LEAST one country apart to avoid their magic clashing and upsetting everything :V#also i snuck the specific year in! felix and bri's story takes place in 1999 and the present day is 2014; so 15 years apart#only 30 and felix is already a grumpy old dad with a bad back :/

I don't think I have ever actually seen a Gortash fan who unironically defended his actions lol I see tiktok comments talking about “Gortash defenders”.
Like….. where???
Are you mistaking sympathizing with his past as defending? Because every Gortash fan I know, wants to push him into traffic lmao
#gortash#enver gortash#this is an insane assumption I keep seeing?#specifically on tiktok lol#are the gortash defenders in the room with us? lol#unless there are some out there#in that case#hmmm strange opinion lmao#professional yapper
