my One True Ship

[thelreads]

Pfft- Yeah, the three least qualified adults to tell the kid that lying is wrong, and neither of them has any idea about the other two.

OH MY GOD THEY ARE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT EACH OTHER

THEY ARE FEELING SO FUCKING GUILTY, ANYA IS JUST THERE LIKE “FUCK MY LIFE”

ANYA PLEASE

WELL, AT LEAST YOU FOLLOWED THEIR ADVICE ON LYING. CAN`T BLAME YOU ON DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY TOLD, YOU KNOW?

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

Okay serious question why are there so many people complaining about how popular labru is as a ship or that’s it’s a reach with no canon basis when the entirety of chapter 76 exists? Like??????

Chekhov Reads Dungeon Meshi: CH49

Mmmmmbig chicken.

It's not non-sense, it's common-sense. But dang, orcs really have that toxic adventuring gender stuff down, huh.

Dwarves are comprised of many basic shapes, such as...... cube....and.......two circle.....

.....It's..........TURNING into a dungeon.

Like an architectural structure has a natural evolutionary progression, including, apparently, becoming a dungeon if enough magic leaks into it? This is fascinating. Like magical radiation that poisons the natural architecture and creates monsters. That's fucked up.

But I need to know more immediately.

Though wait, I think Marcille's flashback chapters talked about creating and maintaining dungeons so it MUST be a well understood phenomenon.

It's a small detail, but the group having a horse (pony?) with them and Senshi later getting attached to a horse-like monster feels extremely intentional. I wonder if it'll be explicitly mentioned or if I'm just reading too much into things.

......Anne was the name of the Kelpie. :( That's 100% of purpose. Oh no. Why do you do this to me.

....aaaand that's where Senshi's strong parental instincts kick in.

................................ damn, poor kid.

Dwarves are tough. A part of me wonders if that guy was hanging on to whatever life he had left, just barely making it through to feed Senshi........ A walking corpse, by all other names, hanging on for the sake of it.

It's really cool to see Senshi grow so much in the span of a few panels. And the orcs softening up is such a common theme it's not even surprising.

Oh.

OH.

Oh no.

He's a fucking idiot but it's like. Healing? How stupid he is.

It's a level of not giving a fuck that you can aspire to.

Marcille like "let me see if I can get you an itemized list....."

Laios pls.

This boy is Sherlocking the fuck out of SOMETHING but I can't tell what.

Laios is an unstoppable force. He does not give a fuck.

But also. Hippogriff?

You're telling me a shroom mushed this Hippogriffin?

Okay, but seriously. "Step into the magic mushroom circle to clip through the floor and break your model by downloading a new unapproved mod" sounds JUST like something the dungeon would have.

well hey! The kick had a reasoning behind it!

humans: we wanna unlock the secrets of genome editing!

Mushroom CRISPR:

okay why is this genuinely getting to me.

(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

Bro. I love them.

AAAAA NOT THROUGH THE GENE EDITING CIRCLE

Reading today’s Daily Dracula and man. You do not understand how much I wish Team Kill Dracula’s quest ended when they roll up on the Czarina Catherine and find out some random Romanian sailors pushed his stupid box overboard, trapping the Count beneath water that he can’t cross

Like I know they gotta actually kill him to free Mina or whatever but like. It would be so funny. They’ve gone on this quest to far Romania, they’ve bribed everyone they can think to bribe, they’ve got a plan, and then they get aboard the ship and the crew are like, “there was a fucked up man in that box so we threw it overboard”

what makes Cinder such a compelling 2012 not-like-other-girls protagonist is that she is surrounded by Other Girls, and she loves them. Iko and Peony are the most stereotypical teenage girls obsessed with pretty clothes and boys and pop culture and she would die for either of them in a heartbeat. Iko rolls in with makeup smeared all over her plastic face and Cinder is like "ayy girl slay!". she knows that she is JUST like other girls in all the ways that matter.

one thing i really love about destiel fanfic is that no matter how fucking weird castiel is in a fic dean is ALWAYS embarrassingly into that shit

[qrcane]

Ykw I feel bad for ElQuackity. Imagine you’re tasked to cause chaos and you have to compete against the sheer insanity that is bolas rojas?? Like I can picture him logging on yesterday being like “hehehe, I’m gonna cause soooo much chaos, this island won’t know what hit ‘em,” and then moments later he gets chased down by a gas masked, nips out Charlie slimecicle. I’d just throw in the towel, what’s even the point

[kadextra]

Richas apologizing because he can’t understand Tallulah. Tallulah saying that’s okay, she has her flaws. she’s trying to understand him. Richas said she doesn’t need to- at the end of the day he’ll be there running wild. the eggs never know when they’ll be gone too, so if she wants to direct any feelings at him, don’t let it be curiosity- be angry, be happy

that was heavy

[lilyliveredlittlerichboy]

didn't scroll tumblr for like a week cus i was hella busy and rereading @derinthescarletpescatarian curse words in what spare time i could wrangle from my schedule (great story, highly recommend btw) and i realise now that i haven't missed tumblr at all. maybe i will dip again

wfa #77 vs detective comics (1937) #241

theoretically, i know that the yellow batsuit is a reference to tec #241 where bruce switched up his costumes to make sure he was the centre of attention, and not robin

however

i have to be honest: the moment i saw that brightass yellow

all i could think was

oh my god

that's the suit that nearly killed hal jordan

all star batman and robin (2005) #9

i really thought wfa was out here referencing ASBAR and nearly lost my entire gd mind

[motto-chanto-itte]

this is the funniest fucking thing miles "perfection" edgeworth has ever said in his entire fucking life and you cannot convince me otherwise

SHE

WHAT

HUH??????

oh my god did the texas judge just override the cap on the alex jones judgment

Everyone else: surrounded by at least family or friends.

Senshi: just me and my trusty frying pan

I feel like Kui-san created the perfect explanation for the artistic whim of 'I wanna draw high fantasy.... or maybe horror.... hmm.... and now I wanna draw cookbooks. And now I wanna draw steampunk!' and just made it work for her.

Queen shit, honestly.

Wow, dwarves are way more uptight than I thought. No drinking in the trolley?!

It's YOUR turn on the backstory, Laios.

Laios going into the military and then immediately backing out with a 'thanks but no thanks' is very... Laios.

He's also suddenly emaciated. This feels like there's parts being left out.

and ALSO why is Falin here???? Oh wait it's just another person.

.......so Falin was at the academy until her brother showed up and then ALSO DESERTED????? She didn't even graduate or anything? She just noped out one day???????

Marcille heart attack in 3.... 2....... 1................

"You literally came by and STOLE my girlfriend from school!"

Senshi you..... you literally almost died of starvation in a dungeon due to lack of planning and then just did Whatever and got by. 😂

Laios, did you leave your baby sister behind because the people were dicks? Is this just Laios telling it badly, or was he just a kid dealing with it badly?

And WHERE ARE THE PARENTS, WHY IS SHE EATING ALONE.

For being a fantasy manga, this has incredibly modern social issues.

Or maybe the issues in question are just timeless.

AAAAA MARCILLE WERE YOU LISTENING

The horrified, stupid feeling of realization when you're a little bit of an asshole, but not on purpose - just out of ignorance. Oooooh godddds, this is so real. This is so REAL!

It's so dumb how human this manga is. I love it.

...th...this metaphor may be getting a bit out of hand...... is it really as simple as eggs on bacon...????

okay............where are you going with this.......?

MmmmmHMMMM. I see. Hmmm. Interesting. HmmMMM. I....okay.

no, no, he's got a point.

But actually, was IS the plan here? He says that as though it's a workable plan but.

Is the idea to just.... eat Falin's non-human parts??? That's most of her. Up to her neck. You have, what, a neck and a head? Are you working under the assumption that there's more human parts buried in dragon meat? You're working under the assumption that she hasn't become the dragon as much as it became her.

Idk, man. It all feels very....... raw.

But I'm sure it'll work out EXACTLY like this.

Get your knife and fork, Kabru. You've been formally invited to dine on the body of Laios' sister who killed you once.

I've seen five different film adaptations and watched a ton of video essays comparing them, but it wasn't until finally reading Little Women for myself now that I learn... Jo was actively shipping Laurie with all three of her sisters.

Before Meg marries John, Jo says that she was hoping Meg and Laurie would get married.

After the twins are born, and before she goes to New York, she thinks Beth is in love with him and she decides they would be good together. She even tells Laurie to stop flirting with women he doesn't really like and turn his attention to one he actually respects, and she means Beth.

And then, some time after she rejects his proposal, she and Beth are talking about how he and Amy are actually perfectly suited for one another. And this is before he even catches up with Amy in Europe.
