growing up with a psychologist for a mother was so funny because my sister and i would be like “mo-om why do we have to go to bed now” and she would respond with a long explanation of the research on the effects of sleep on the brain and body followed by another explanation on permissive vs. authoritarian vs. authoritative parenting styles, with citations

My Delightful little creature absolutely killed it the past two weekends 👌
Pigroll earned her Rally Master title, and got her first QQ towards her Rally Champion title. She showed up, dominated, ate snacks, and napped so hard she's a true athlete 💪

Wish we could've seen canonically how Phoenix Wright draws. I'm so divided on if this man was either bullshitting his way through his art major with just stick figures or actually creating decent pieces—considering he was also taking l a w during his Feenie years.
Note: I'm just finishing "Miles Edgeworth Investigations II" and the first Apollo Justice game. Anything beyond those I'm unsure of if Phoenix's artworks were ever revealed. :')

ever think about how when louis was asking armand to witness madeleine's turning, he was basically inviting him into the family by asking him to attend his daughter's wedding/hold his hand in the delivery room. and when armand essentially replies "i will not go unless you force me to" he tells him he doesn't have to and reassures him. and then what goes on in their respective heads in that exact moment are:
louis: oh damn the maitre stuff is not just a sex thing he actually like can't hold a conversation like a human being. oh but he's so sad... there there loser boyfriend... why does nobody ever want to have babies with me :/
armand: *has just sentenced louis to death*

In 2012 two Swedish conceptual artists commissioned a confidential art investment analysis from renowned art adviser Thea Westreich, which was sealed in a box, Wu Tang Clan album-style, to be opened only for the enlightenment and financial benefit of the collector who bought it.
Well, now Goldin + Senneby/Westreich's Abstract Possible: An Investment Portrait, is being resold, and it looks like the seal has yet to be broken. Does that mean the next buyer would be the art work's Martin Shkreli, its PleasrDAO, or both?

[taking you by the shoulders] game of thrones was never good, seasons 1-4 were only well-liked because they were consistently adapting book material that sometimes felt compelling when they decided not to strip it of its context or accidentally kept the significance of its original impact and themes. the show always had a problem with shock value for the sake of itself and an ultimately shallow motive that directly opposed the books themselves, which rotted the adaption's core; any enjoyable material was a fluke resulting from the efforts of good actors and book-canon, as evidenced by the sharp decrease in quality (or "quality") when the showrunners had to choose between adapting the most thematically rich moments in the series or making a mad dash to their imagined Shocking Twist finish line

Tifa's trial in the temple is so confusing but so interesting to analyze. The fact little Tifa, little Cloud and Brian feel like 3 separate entities instead of belong in the same illusion group like the rest of trials really sparks a lot of questions about how much of her trial is the temple's doing and/or if there's other third part's involvement?
I feel like her trial has a lot of setup for part 3, but I also think part 3 won't out right answer the questions we have with her trial, we'll have to gather informations and piece the answer together, just like what Tifa does with Cloud.

U know the funny thing abt celes is that she is a normal person, but for reasons god only knows chose to develop the most questionable yet intriguing fake speech pattern of all time, and I imagine that after years of existing in that persona the language is undeniably interwoven w her regular voice and thoughts, but the amt of it thats present at any given moment depends on the situation her emotional state her age who she is surrounded by etc like. Lots to consider and is half of that incorporated into my fics in any meaningful way?? Prob not I just get to go insane abt it why is she Like that

In DR1, some of Celestia’s free time events have her share stories of high stakes gambling tournaments she’s won. Including a shogi tournament when she didn’t even know how the game is played. She attributes her gambling success to just being born luckier than other people.
Being Celestia is Celestia, grain of salt. She references some pop culture gamblers which could mean she’s stealing these anecdotes from stuff she’s read. Or considering Sakura is dating Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star it could just be another example of Danganronpa being an absurd place.
But say Celestia is telling the truth about all her wins. And that all she does is win because she’s just that lucky.
It’s weird that she wasn’t given the title the ultimate lucky student. She would seem to have multiple examples of actually being lucky.
I suspect that there’s some bias from Hope’s Peak declaring that actually, the luckiest thing is to win a spot in their school.
