A lot has been made of how season 2 suffered from the budget cuts, from not having enough time to fully explore the characters and relationships. But in spite of it all, perhaps the most complicated, interior, and subtle arc of season 2, Ed's exploration of his fractured identities and struggle to integrate the different parts of himself, is crystal clear yet never over-wrought. I am in awe of the skillful writing and Taika's moving, nuanced performance.

Non-Sims, but my other special interest is Doctor Who and I just have to gush about how amazing that episode was. It’s SO GOOD to have the old team back in charge. The new titles were incredible, the new TARDIS was gorgeous, and the episode itself was fantastic and made me cry several times. Loved every second! 😭

Maybe you memtioned it before but i didnt see it but is the bluedaddysgirl Recom Picrew yours?? I really liked it!!
Oh sweet anon! You either don't follow me or live on a very different time zone because I sure as hell made that picrew and I bitched about it lots!!
The final post was here,
I you browse the Picrew tag on my blog you can follow on the progress (and bitching) all the way to my first clown post :
That's me thinking Picrew offered blending mode... It doesn't. 1 stripe pattern meant actually 3 files of different colours, all touched up by hand because all the ears were individual because I'm dumb, and they had to match... then each saved, individually clicking through a big old tree of menus to help batch uploads... and then uploaded, over file by file, sometimes by colour, lucky me...
So 12 stripes meant 36 files and ahahahahahahaahah... no.
Doing this picrew I gained mad respect for the larger, more complex ones out there, especially matching complex hair.
I've had some very kind people ask for a Na'vi one, but the time/investment/madness, is straight up not worth it. I'm glad I did it, mind you, and I'm surprised I managed to do it at all, but it was soooo much mind numbing work. And that was with friends helping for the background and tattoos!
I'm literally stressed out just thinking about Na'vi jewelery and hairstyles... I joked to a friend I'd do it when I reach 50£ on kofi. Since I didn't get anything, it's a good excuse not to lol
I'll wait for Avatar 3 to flood my system with serotonine to consider it.
But it's been a real joy seeing people share their recoms on twitter! So soooo many OCs, far more than I expected! It's very sweet. I'm glad you've had fun with it!!

I just finished watching the finale and I'm a crying mess.
I want to say thank you Dana Terrace, thank you for the Owl House.
I know it is stupid to get worked up, I am older than Dana is but I don't think a show has ever touched my heart as much as the Owl House did. These shows matter, for both the young and the young at heart.
Ah I'm rambling, just thank you everyone from Dana Terrace and the creators, to the wonderful community who I shared this show with, to the wonderful characters that I don't think I could ever forget.
The Owl House is and was very special and while there will probably never be another show like it to me, I hope it won't be the last.

Alfred has a relative???
Recently, Alfred had received a letter from a 'relative' of his for reasons unknown to the batfam. Alfred seemed happy about it so none of them minded too much, even when the butler said that said relative would be visiting since they hadn't been able to see each other in many years.
A few days later there is a knock on the manor's door and one of the batkids opens it to see this young adult dressed in modern yet formal attire asking if Alfred lives there.
They assume that the man is a cousin or something similar of Alfred's, until the man all but squeals like a banshee at the sight of the butler and beelines for him before doting on him.
None of them were prepared for the young adult- if he even is one at this point- to call Alfred "his boy" and for Alfred to refer to him as "father/papa".
-----
*knock on the door*
Tim: *opens door* hello?
Danny: Hi, does Alfred Pennyworth live/work here?
Tim: Yes??? Why do you ask?
Danny: Well you see-
Alfred: Young master Tim, who might be at the door?
Danny: *Squeals* My little Alfie!!
Tim, watching Danny rush over to Alfred and start pinching his cheeks: what the-

Courting Chaos (to Balance)
A KlarionxDanny brain worm that has spawned
Tim Drake, aka Red Robin gets kidnapped suddenly and very randomly by Klarion in the middle of a JL and others meeting.
Leaving with a
"I'LL RETURN HIM WHEN HES NO LONGER USEFUL JUSTICE LOSERS!"
And fire and chaos in his wake.
While the JL, and others scramble to figure out what Klarion has planned this time, Tim manages to break free of whatever Klarion had used to kidnap him only to find himself on a couch and Klarion nervously petting Teekl on his lap while also sitting in a chair across from him.
When Tim goes to demand to know why Klarion kidnapped him Klarion finally speaks.
"Okay, I wanna strike a deal. I won't bug you or your little Young Just US buddies if you help me ask someone out..."
"...What the fuck Klarion?" Was Tim's only response.
-x-x-
So it turns out, every so often the three main entities and actual factions of Order, Chaos, and Balance get together to well discuss things happening in certain Realms, worlds, and timelines. Basicly to touch base, see where everyone was at. Etc etc.
Order was Order. Chaos was Chaos.
Very simple.
Both could be bad. To much order caused restraint and could snuff out growth. To much Chaos could get out of hand and cause ruin.
Both could be good. Order help stabilizes worlds and builds their future. Chaos allowed creativity to roam and brought forth wonderful things.
And Balance.
Well Balance was the very scales that kept both sides in check. They were neutral grounds. The ones that normally oversaw the meetings as well. And despite their low numbers they held powerful entities that more than made up for it.
Balance did their best to keep things in check, sure they do have their own preference sometimes and allowed the scales to tip a tiny bit but always corrected it later if it tips to much.
It was at this meeting, a meeting even Klarion knew better than to do anything too chaotic, pranks were fine but nothing too much, and had been chatting with a newcomer to the side of Chaos (Danielle, call me Ellie, Phantom. She did some heroing on the side but liked causing chaos in her wake to do so, he liked her so far though.) When the bells for the side of Balance to appear announced them.
Ellie had smiled brightly and said her brother was coming with his mentor, turns out her brother was apart of the Balance group which meant that he was strong, strong enough to need a mentor.
He watched as the members of Balance walked, teleported, flew, and other means into the meeting halls. And then froze when his eyes caught sight of him.
Floating next to a blue skined being that was switching ages was a beautiful otherworldly person.
Snow white hair that wisped upwards oh so softly. Glowing green eyes that were cat-like with their piercing glance. A galaxy cloak hanged around his shoulders and seemed to shift with each movement. Star like freckles decorated his face and seemed to glow a soft bluish white. A crown made of ice and aurora lights floated above his head as well.
All in all Klarion couldn't keep his eyes off of the being at all. He nearly spat his water out when Ellie commented that was her brother Danny, or rather.
High King of the Infinite Realms, Daniel 'Danny' Phantom. The Great One. Defeater of the Tyrant King. The Halfa. The Peaceful End. The Balance of the Undead. (And his mentor was the Ghost of Time itself. THE very Keeper of Time, Kronos original form himself.)
Klarion honestly didn't know what to think or rather what emotions he was feeling when he spotted Danny, nor why his face felt so hot and red when the young man looked over at them and smiled. (He was smiling at Ellie but Klarion for some reason hoped it was for him as well)
It wasn't until halfway in the meeting when a rather ingenious prank that Klarion, Ellie, and a few others had set up went off... thing was it strong enough that it had hit Danny's side of the meeting and had hit him.
Now, again pranks were okay but only after the meetings. It was one of the few rules many, even those in Chaos, took seriously because once it was done and over they could go do their things. So for it to happen in the middle of a meeting means someone set their time on the prank wrong and add the fact it hit a person on the Balance side...
Yeah not good.
Only...
Only instead of getting angry, even Clockwork who was seated next to Danny was chuckling, Danny threw his head back and laughed about it. And his laugh... was very cute.
And before he knew it, Klarion had already fallen.
-x-x-
"So yeah.... Since you have a boyfriend and know how to date in this modern age, I need your advice."
".... Klarion just because I'm dating Bernard doesn't mean I know how I did it..."
"Bernard? I thought you were dating that one Supes?"
