In ancient times, a “bus” was a sort of terrestrial beast. the people of the time harnessed their regular territorial patrol routes by climbing down their maw. buses had a complex nerve system threading throughout their bodies. passengers found that pressing down on certain nodes of this system sent an electrical signal to the creatures brain, causing it to stop moving and open its jaws, allowing passengers to dismount.

gender: questioning. not as in questioning my gender but questioning yours. why are you not more transgender. when will you get more transgender. do you want to come out and get more transgender together

Xisuma in REAL LIFE used to be stoner and some of his odd muchies consist of

- dorito dust mixed with dip in a homogeneous mixture

- oranges (peel ON “for the fibre”) dipped in greek yogurt

- “bowl of goop” that’s made of soup, noodles, cheese and crackers mixed until it’s thick goo

Overall, since the boiled chicken incident, I sincerely believe this man can’t cook. On another note can we get Xisuma with a hjuge blunt

So.... I got diagnosed with idiopatic intracranial hypertension (IIH) just a few hours ago. We have no idea what made me develop it but we are working on trying to find out. This could explain a lot of my symptoms that have made it difficult to make art.

Funny thing is that I've had these symptoms for years but didn't think I'd be taken seriously by doctors so I never bothered until I went to get a routine eye examination for an eye glass prescription and the optician found something weird in my fundus images 🤪

they should replace grades in schools with a point system that has zero bearing on anything, but school points can be redeemed in the cash shop for unique cosmetics for your school avatar (things like hair color and outfits) and skins for your pencils and notebooks and so on. this would be purely visual of course for balance purposes. and universities could have unique university specific cosmetics to encourage people to apply to them

ok but really even without all the dramatic au stuff i like doing to them, i really think atlus accidently made one of the most interesting dynamics from what was definitely just supposed to be a cameo. the second coming of the detective prince and he's so different from the first. from how he is you'd maybe expect akechi to not really care about the title or even be kind of bitter about being placed in the shadow of someone else he hasn't even met, but no,

he actively mirrors naoto. this sweater is the only canonically confirmed callback but i've sniffed out others, even down to the way they hold themselves.

like, clothing is one thing that could just be for the public image, but come on. it's part of his SELF image. his status as the second detective prince is vital to his view of himself.

and q2 all but proves he respects naoto deeply. and it all makes sense because he really is proud of being a detective, of course he'd be a fanboy of one of the most well-known young detectives out there. i can imagine he relates to the image he has of naoto a lot.

and it's not like it places him to live up to the achievements of naoto or anything, to a degree maybe yes, but not enough to the point that it's a burden. because he's piggybacking off of his legacy and blowing it out of the water. akechi is FAMOUS, much more than naoto was, i imagine. people would hear about the first detective prince and go, "who? i only know akechi." the title only benefits him, publicly and personally.

and it'd be so interesting if they met, because it's not like one is living in the others' shadow. akechi has to live up to naoto's reputation because he's the successor to naoto's legacy, placed on his shoulders by the force of the public. naoto has to live up to akechi's reputation because he's the new big thing, he's what everyone is interested now, he's who was chosen to succeed him. they live in each others' shadows. it's an ouroboros of reputation.

i just think they're neat. they'd get along too, i bet. they definitely got along in q2! they're the only ones in the whole world who can relate to each others' experiences of growing up as a detective prince. they're both big nerds. they're both competitive. PLEASE imagine placing these two in the same room together. it would be so INTERESTING.

and don't even get me STARTED on how Crow looks a hell of a lot like naoto's persona

when they said

he said

ladies gentlemen and my non binary pals, once again I am here to remind you why yuji will always be the protagonist and our best boy.

the way it did not even take him 5 secs to recognise her. and he doesn't care. he's just like oh hi <3 I LOVE HIM

Iroh says Aang gives Zuko hope and like, 10/10, love that

But I feel like the mirror of this is overlooked alot, or at least I don't see a lot of talk abt it.

Zuko is Aang's hope.

Zuko is the representation of the enemy, but Aang knows he's also just a kid, or teenager, like Aang, and he's someone who reminds Aang of Kuzon, one of his best friends. To Aang, Zuko is everything the fire nation is to him, something familiar and dear to his heart that's been twisted almost beyond recognition.

If Aang can see good in Zuko, if Aang can bring the good out from Zuko, then there is hope for the rest of the firenation. In his day, the fire nation people were friends, and in the modern day, they are enemies. If he can be friends with Zuko, that means there's hope that he can have just a piece of his old world back, even if it looks a little different.

Aang can never go back. He can never get his old family back, he can't truely revive what was lost, only preserve it with hopes it can be revived in the future. He can't undo geological changes, he can't rewrite history, but there's one thing of his old world he hopes he can still have, and that is friendship that trancends borders and cultures.

Nobody represents that more than Zuko, the person who Aang wants to be friends with like the old days, but cannot because of the war. Being friends with Zuko, a blatent act of defiance against the war and all it has changed and damaged, is the biggest connection Aang gets to the world he once knew since he got frozen in the iceberg.

Aang gives Zuko hope, but Zuko is Aang's hope.
