I know it's such a cliche at this point to the point of garnering eye rolls, but we really cannot lose sight of the fact that 2x97 is the Most Episode of All Time. You cannot ignore Essek in that episode, obviously, but honestly the fact that that happened only serves to highlight how buckwild everything else was. That was when Veth got her body back. That was when Caleb first directly set his sights on Ludinus. That was when Fjord tried to ask Jester on a date and instead ending up thirdwheeling Yasha and Beau, who WERE essentially on a date. That was when Jester locked Sharpe on the balcony. That was when Cad got Beau SO high and Fjord was forced to babysit. That was when Fjord and Yasha told Marius he had to kill someone to stay on the crew.
If any ONE of these things had happened on top of the Essek reveal, it would've been notable or memorable, but no, the BREADTH of unhinged happenings in that episode is actually stunning.
this is a scrapped scene from Trikaranos & originally it joined a standalone series of comics from Pompey’s point of view, but it got scrapped from THAT set too because I decided they both needed to be weirder and worse and this is kind of vanilla ngl. however I’m still kind of fond of it in some kind of way, and it’s been a second since I’ve posted a comic! also I wanted to draw it. so I did.
for context: Crassus cut his hand open helping Pompey out with something in a previous scene! for more context: the answer to Pompey’s question is a reliable (business/political) partner. that’s about it!
ppl act like being an ally is a Huge Thing when in reality its the little things. standing near the door if we have to piss in public. casually correcting pronouns/gendered terms. literally just gendering us correctly. you dont have to go out of your way to be an ally just be a decent person and that's enough i promise
my brother and i have been going on walks a lot lately and have been checking out public buildings if only to see them, and in one it finally happened where someone thought my brother and i were a couple. even though Earlier in the conversation i mentioned ‘our little sibling’ like twice while gesturing to my brother and i both times. this wouldn’t have been so horrible and i could have easily brushed it off as her just not having caught that, if not for the part where after clarifying We’re Siblings she said “well even if you did have kids…” and kinda trailed off and didn’t complete that thought. she was talking to us about our futures/careers bc this was the town hall building so she probably meant it like If We, Individually From Each Other, Have Children but. i didn’t press for clarification but was ready to Leave after that. she was talking for a while still, after saying that. i had a cold soda and it was room temp by the time we finally left
yes, what noah schnapp is doing is fucked up, and yes, zionism is awful, but i think that perhaps sending a 19 year old death threats on twitter is not, in fact, a great way to convince him to change and grow as a person. additionally i think we should all remember that growing up as a jewish child in the hollywood zionist hell machine might, just possibly, have caused him to fall victim to pro-zionist propaganda, and screaming for his blood will not change this, nor will it actually help palestine. by all means, boycott stranger things 5, and demand accountability for noah’s actions, but also maybe call your reps and log off twitter for five minutes. fucking hell, yall
whenever i talk about link and shadow being stupid post-fsa manga i'm also always thinking about link's dad btw. like i think his relationship with shadow goes from "link, if it has to live here then fine but keep it under control." to "alright shadow i'm going to the market do you want anything?" and i also think they deserve a real hug to mirror the one-sided hug they had at the beginning of the manga. which was literally the first positive touch shadow had ever received in his life (even if it wasn't meant for him. off-topic but do you ever think about how all the kindness shadow receives throughout the manga is never strictly meant for him or is really about him until green smiles at him and calls him their friend. i digress). i think they should get to hug for real this time and it's very touching and sweet and then link barges in holding a piece of paper that shadow drew a dragon on like "HEY SHADOW IS THIS YOUR DRAGONSONA" and then shadow tries to maul him
Now that I think about it, have we ever actually seen Eddie just walk into Buck's apartment without knocking first and waiting for him to open the door?
Because I feel like that's just something we made up for the comedic effect.
sometimes i find myself thinking "oh eliezer yudkowsky isn't that bad i give him a bit too much of a hard time" and then i actually see some of his writing again. "you can't understand physics if you think it's weird" from the guy who soundly disbelieves in all three laws of thermodynamics.
i agree that theres zionist propaganda in the knuckles show and that it should be called out. but am i the only one who thinks that one big post about it going around (the one that sjust a bunch of screenshots with no elaboration or anything and has like 15k notes) is not doing the best job at accurately conveying whats going on in the scene or what the problem is when it comes to the content of the show itself. at least not to people who dont know what happens already. like im not accusing the op of trying to confuse people on purpose or anything its just that like i said the post doesnt really present the scene accurately and is missing a lot of context and the post in question is probably the only thing a lot of people are seeing about this when its not a very good source of information
