Ah- I got carried away rambling last time !!

You mentioned you had weird dreams too? Want to talk about it?

~Blood and death warning!~

Sorry. That’s probably not what you wanted to hear.

If Jin Ling is bald because WWX cursed Jin Zixuan then why are Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao bald🤔🤔

Jin Ling was always going to be bald, Wei Wuxian's curse was just an accidental prophecy that will haunt Jin Zixuan for exactly one month.

scara: was seen by ei as too emotional and fragile to be a vessel for a gnosis, couldn’t bring himself to kill kazuha’s great grandfather due to sentiment, didn’t hesitate to erase himself to try and fix his past mistakes, is always seen surrounded by small creatures in his official arts, literally carries a little doll he made himself around as a traveling companion, etc.

a lot of people after this event, for some reason: wtf why is he suddenly being soft?

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

genshin fans on twitter always make me feel so smart

like "arlecchino is the only competent harbinger!!!!!!" she got one gnosis that was basically free. like girl didnt do shit to get that.

signora got two and was executed before she got the third. childe successfully summoned a god, fought that fatass narwhal for who knows how long, and has the foul legacy. scara ERASED HIMSELF FROM EXISTENCE and also got the electro gnosis. capitano went against the god of war and was ready to keep fighting after getting punched in the heart (and he is definitely evenly matched with mavuika).

god i hate people on twitter and tiktok, they cant read

I designed finch's dad!!!!

im not watching this because ive already done it myself but the number made me raise an eyebrow so i went to the timestamps to confirm my suspicions and just so you guys know he skipped both 80s specials and both dreamtopias

sorry i just cannot get over how funny of a setup neopets made for themselves with all the faeries being women and sticking to that

its not that there just hasnt been a male faerie design. Tnt has advised for years in the editorial that male faeries do not exist as theyre an entirely female species. you cant even have a story posted in the neotimes with a male faerie because they do not exist in the world

and youd think after that kind of decision theyd come up with some lore like 'faeries appear from their element or magic' but no, its never explained and it gets funnier

Some of the faeries reference having a mom and family members.

They also can be Not related to each other which is important too

Its not like theres only a few faeries either, not even a few hundred. Theyre a fairly common species on the planet. Theres in fact ~1,296,000 faeries just in their city alone (per the neopedia)

While faeries are immortal, they do start off younger. Its not stated if they start as children, though it makes sense that they would. Several parts of lore reference faeries going to school when theyre young and having a dedicated mentor faerie who helps them hone their magic.

So an easy assumption is well, theyre just having children together. Or creating them out of ✨magic✨ or something

and have to end this with my fav note of this confusing bit of neopets lore from jellyneo lol:

[sea-buns]

All the buffs they've added to the cooking mods is hilarious to me. Like it's for sure super fun and exciting. But imagine the world cracking apart at the seams and from the moment you wake up you are immediately pounced on by "DAD! DAD! LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" *places brick oven*

I just imagine Chayanne has been surrounding his dads' beds with various plates of food. Cuz you KNOW he's a stress cooker.

And Talullah's like "bro that's a loose popsicle on the floor Missa's gonna slip and die"

THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL CONSPIRACY BOARD (Ep 27)

(all my theories will probably contain spoilers for all of TMA)

OK so, we can all agree that was Jonah Magnus writing, right? At least a Magnus. "The Institute would not have been founded, nor would my fellows have selected me for its leadership, much less its name"

If Augustus really is the voice of TMA's Jonah, this would be the first instance of someone from the TMA Universe giving voice to it's TMAGP's Universe counterpart. And that's pretty cool.

He also mentions "Boyle's meddling inheritors", pretty sure he's talking about Robert Boyle, founder of the Royal Society. How long has it been since?

The Royal Society was founded in 1660, and Presumably Jonah Magnus writes this in 1845. Saying "we have been undertaking this great work for three decades", does that put the foundation of the Institute around 1810? That's almost two centuries after the foundation of the Royal Society. But both organisations are definitely connected. Perhaps the Insitute was created to take the Royal Society experiments to the next level, to have the philosophers work together.

More things:

-TREVOR fucking HERBERT MP?? Speechless.

-Celia getting an email, and the address looks like "gibberish". That probably rules out Jon? When Sam got Jon's email, he didn't mention the address being gibberish... ARG friends, do we have any suspects?

-Do we think Celia knows what's in Hilltop? She def knows she's not from this universe, but does she know she came through Hilltop's crack in reality? Does she know about it?

thoughts on how jotaro shakes in the panel where he discovers his mom passed out in avdol's arms?

UNIRONICALLY I THINK ABOUT THIS SO MUCH ACTUALLY!!!!! THANK YOU TO WHOEVER ASKED ME ABOUT THIS VERY NICHE JOTARO DETAIL.

this actually isn't the only time he does this in sdc either! shaking is a thing that jotaro consistently seems to do when he's stressed, albeit usually very repressed. at the very least with the way it's presented you can assume it's him tensing up badly

he also trembles VERY frequently during the dio fight and i don't think either of the animated adaptations show it nearly as much. it still comes up though once or twice

either way, to answer the original question: i think it's a really neat trait that adds a lot to jotaro's character which really cements that he really is just a teenager who never even wanted to go to egypt and only ever went for his mother in the first place. like i genuinely cannot imagine how terrified he is at all times especially with how often his (presumably, only real) friends get injured. repressing all of that stress and only letting it show on rare occasions has to mess him up badly in the trauma department later
