i love your riddle design so much, he's so pointy and british. so gracious. do you think he would enjoy a brazilian goiabada

thank you! ❤️🖤❤️ it's just. important to me on a level I can't explain that Riddle have an extremely pointy nose that he can stick into everyone else's business.

also goiabada is sweet and fruity and red, I think he would like it very much indeed!

not me stealth-editing because I forgot his antenna whoops

#art #twisted wonderland #me: riddle's nose is important to me (draws him without a nose)#a study in contrasts?#regardless it is my power as a fanartist to let riddle eat sweets and by god i'm going to use it #i also love british riddle. briddle. it's just RIGHT.#i think about how someday the anime will come out and get dubbed and riddle is going to have Generic Anime Boy Voice #instead of the most over-the-top prim little benedict cumberbatch accent like he does in my HEART #and the world shall be poorer for it. alas.#i also think it would be VERY funny if malleus had a super exaggerated french accent because something something french fairytale #i am probably alone in this however #(sorry still trying to catch up on everything!)#(all of my focus has been going towards Deadlines so hopefully i will have space to think...eventually :')#(i still have some main story things cookin' and i JUST finished tsumsted 3: the squeakquel so uhhh)#(there may be a bit of a flood at some point. you've been warned.)

Loki surveilling the skyline of New York from the top of Stark Tower and clocking that his favorite paired set of buildings are gone. sad

#everyone wants thor and loki to have visited earth a bunch of times and obviously they wouldn't be too invested in earth politics #but i think the concept of much time passing between visits should be taken advantage of #like what if one of them missed seeing the statue of liberty on their past 3 visits and now that's 'suddenly' a famous historic landmark #Loki like wow I sure hope that restaurant in the Soviet Union is still around!#and Natasha's head whips around so fast like you mean Russia or one of the surrounding countries that used to be part of the USSR #Loki: uhm. well. what's the difference #Natasha: here is a map of the countries does this help #Loki: it does not help but thank you for trying #Thor: what do you mean Rome is gone???? Rome was HUGE?????#Tony: well it's been a few centuries since then Europe is very different now #Thor: (visibly distressed) so the the sweet effeminate men enjoy the streets no more??#Tony: ...I don't keep track of foreign border laws about that #Thor shows up after 3 years and there's a new president and he's very confused through the entire meeting #brodinsons being so detached from the political scene but being so used to realm politics they come to correct conclusions about things #even though the timeline and how long things stay the same on midgard still messes with them #Loki: at least Egypt is still around #Thor: China also #Brodinsons visiting New Zealand(Aotearoa)/Australia/various British mandate islands before the British formally showed up #returning 2 centuries later and 'the gene pool has altered drastically' 'must've been a war'#well it's either that or since Asgard seems spared of colorism they treat all humans as the same and don't notice. which might be worse #on the colonisation and liberation side of things

My gf was listening to "White Blank Page" by Mumford and Sons and I once again told her that song is SO much better if it's gay.

She doesn't listen to the lyrics of songs but she's extremely good at literary analysis and this time she actually looked up the lyrics and has now come to the following conclusion: "It makes no sense if it's not gay."

My (objectively best) reading is this:

The narrator was in love with a guy who strung him along, never willing to be in a committed (or public) relationship with him and maybe insisting that it's extremely heterosexual "helping a bro out" sex, except in more intimate moments. Finally out of nowhere guy is suddenly committed to a woman and when Narrator confronted him, guy spat out homophobic vitriol and claimed he's not gay like the Narrator.

(For extra flavor imagine them as closeted, straight passing Midwestern flannel wearing, love-bonfires-and-camping guys who sat next to each other at church and elbowed and annoyed each other like best friends do and were each other's go-to source of emotional support! And then to suddenly shut Narrator out for the first time ever, by abruptly marrying a woman and insisting that he's always been straight and their relationship meant nothing...)

Here are the lyrics:

Can you lie next to her And give her your heart, your heart As well as your body? And can you lie next to her And confess your love, your love As well as your folly? And can you kneel before the king And say, "I'm clean! I'm clean!" ? But tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? Oh, tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage You did not think When you sent me to the brink, to the brink You desired my attention But denied my affections, my affections So tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? Oh, tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? Lead me to the truth and I Will follow you with my whole life Oh, lead me to the truth and I Will follow you with my whole life

Why call multiple people "you" in a totally unclear way? Why would you claim that your female ex's new man can't love her AT ALL (not just as much as you did, AT ALL)? And invoking the judgment of God is so fucking tedious if you're just shaming your female ex for moving on or even cheating/getting with your friend. Also you look like a creepy asshole if you think a girl broke up with you for "loving her too much".

This song is tepid, badly written, and makes the narrator look like an asshole if it's NOT gay.

The gay reading is the ONLY compelling one.

#i don't even care about m/m romances lmao i get bored when there's no women BUT #this is objectively the best reading #anyways my gf and I came up with the main beats for an entire romance story about these guys #as a dyke raised in the church i really like the religious midwestern reading here too #also there's SUCH a phenomenon of guys having secret sex out in these rural areas and insisting even to themselves it's not gay #so this reading is very compelling to me #i also like to think the woman is like fine. there's nothing wrong with her she's sweet and friends with both of them.#gf said what if she's Narrator's sister?#like i think it's better narrative wise if the woman has no idea and isn't trying to 'turn him straight'#bc the ex CHOSE this. he caved and all so he can stand before God and insist he's 'clean'#which to me... very very resonant #updates on my boring life #also I think the ex can be either bi or gay like it doesn't matter because either way Narrator is convinced ex loves HIM still n not wifey #god i could go line by line but no one wants that lmao it's extremely funny that i fixated on this #i did not even know it was a mumford and sons song or that they are british until gf told me both facts today #i am in no way a fan #im jsut a sucker for religion flavored gay angst i guess or at least this variety of it

One could claim many reasons for why Canada is a good place to live. Healthcare, slightly-less-on-fire-politically than the US, etc etc.

For me, it's easy access to Jaffacakes

#Shut up Cheri #the upside to still technically being a British colony is that UK imports are very commonplace in grocery stores #and in BC there's a lot of various Asian imports that are commonplace as well #so it's fun to sometimes branch out and try various snacks and treats from other cultures #what i've definitely noticed is that North American sweets are VERY SWEET compared to a lot of other places

I just wanna say how happy I am Syabira won Great British Bake Off. I called it from day one. She brought Southeast Asian culture and flavors into British bakes and it rocked the judges minds. She embodies sharing culture through food. She deserves the world and everything in it 💙

#gbbo #gbbo syabira #great british baking show #SEA #baking #no but the peanut satay macrons were genius and I want to try them #and the judges were too damn white for the sweet corn cake #they only appreciate deserts when they’re full of fucking sugar #too damn white for all of her bakes #I hope she releases a cookbook or something I would try all of it #syabira is a fucking baking genius

one of my Semi-Popular Tumblr Posts (ie one that gets occasional reblog-flurries for a day or two) is the "Do It For Her[/Him/Them]" meme and the photos are Christopher Eccleston/Nine but the thing is I don't actually like Nine very much (Eccles himself is great though, obvs) but also I forgot that things in the tags don't get reblogged and thus are gonna be invisible to future rebloggers and also i deleted the original and so nobody who reblogs it in recent times knows that the original post was encouraging Queen Elizabeth II to hurry up and die, because CE (rightly) hates the monarchy and it seemed like it might cheer him up if she did that.

(further Historical Context: the meme was made/posted around that point where those of us in the UK were looking at the BBC News front page and going "they're all heading to Balmoral now? omg is this THE FINAL COUNTDOWN??")

so anyway she's dead now but Do It For Christopher Eccleston apparently lives on.

#cw: british monarchy #did i contribute to her death? i doubt she was on tumblr at the time but who can say?#perhaps I *have* participated in some of that sweet sweet regicide after all #...reginacide?#i try to keep my knowledge of the current royals as limited as possible so i keep forgetting we have a man in the role now #funny how all those tory gammons had no problem learning the monarch's new pronouns for the national anthem though innit?

My theory for the reason why Americans seem so grossed out at the idea of eating beans on toast is bc they think it's served cold??? Is that why??

#the toast is warm with butter and the baked beans are heated up!! they have a kind of sweet taste #its common to add an egg (or sometimes sausage or bacon) bc its breakfast food #some people melt cheese on top but i dont like that personally sksjskjs #i guess its not very flattering visually but beans on toast actually tastes good!! I promise its seriously not bad lmao #the concept of beans being eaten at breakfast isnt exclusively a british thing either?? lots of cultures do that #it just always surprises me the way I see people here react to it #like thats how I act when my family ask of I want chicken feet/pig feet soup (which are common here and my grandpa loves them)#but that's somethign genuinely freaky and gross looking 😭 not just harmless beans that are served with some bread?!? dkskdjskjs #((lo siento if theres any fans of sopa de patitas here.... I admire your strength but I just can't do it 😔💔))#like im trying to understand the visceral reaction that makes people think ''this MUST taste bad''#🐊

so I found your blog pretty recently and can I say how OBSESSED I AM??!?! YOUR ART? ICONIC. All of the designs are just uttterly perfect and 11/10!! (Also for the modern au citation needed piece in particular, I've been trying to focus on writing an essay all day and keep getting MYSTERY LEMBAS~ stuck in my head at random internvals and just losing it)

Aww, thank you so much!! It’s so fun to find people who share my niche sense of humor. (Also thank you for the reminder that one of these days I need to redraw that comic with the new Modern AU designs X-D)

I’d apologize for getting “MYSTERY LEMBAS” stuck in your head, but I’m not sorry >:-D Thanks for enjoying the blog, and for leaving such a sweet message! Good luck on your essay!

#sweet people saying sweet things #citation needed #my sense of humor is apparently ‘british friends try to crack each other up for twenty minutes’ and honestly i’m not mad

REAALLL PAPYRUS PLS EXPLAIN MY MATH PAPER TO ME IN THE FORM OF PUZZLES ILL EAT UR TERRIBLE COOKING AFTERWORDS ILY 😭

🌱

Papyrus please ramble about your hyperfixations to me I'm nowhere near a math student but I'd listen to you!!

#asks.answered #papyrus.undertale #🌱 anon #i can never decide if his cooking is actually bad or just “indescribable” like it says in game for other reasons #like if they use different spices or sauces in the underground or if Frisk being a child had never tried some of the ingredients in it #for example say. mushrooms. and they have a pretty characteristic taste so Frisk didn't have anything to compare it to #or something simpler like Papyrus made sweet spaghetti #fun fact morcilla (blood sausage/black sausage like for British breakfasts) has a sweet variant #i think it only exists in the canaries? so imagine what it was like to try that for the first time without warning #definitely “undescribable”

what i do really like about 13 (i say as if theres only a few things?) is how instead of the casual insults previous doctors would throw at bystanders, she'll throw out casual compliments. it's a great improvement i hope it sticks

#'i mean it's good but it's no british hotel'#she doesnt need to do that but it's like #you know what clara said about the doctor making people feel special #this is a nice way to do it thats not the way 11 does it in god complex #when he talks to rita about suitcases full of sweets and she goes 'i have no idea whatyoure talking about #but whatever it is i have a feeling yuo just did it again'#13 doesnt tempt people with sweets she just gives compliments no strings attached #shes not trying to make herSELF feel special with those compliments too #just the other person #it's really nice i hope it sticks #i dont need the casual meanities

my phone isabout to die but i need to complain abt how people draw martin tma RIGH NTOW

#LISTEN LISTEN TO ME. HE IS NOT WHITE & BLOND/GINGER HE DOES NOT HAVE CIRCLE GLASSES OR WEAR WOOL VESTS DO YOUUNDERSTAND.#no one gets me & my polish/filipino martin hc it is so sad #i do love that he is usually drawn tall & fat but he does not look like a BABY AUGH #plesaaase give that man some eyebags and stubble and acne scars esp in s5 i am on my hsnds and knees crying #makes me annoyed how people see a guy who is sweet and a lil clumsy and turn him into the image of british innocence . do u know what imean #he isn’t a child he isn’t a doormat he’s a whole grown man and it’s awesome #and jon . it bores me the way ppl give him gaunt or chiseled features n a sharp jawline like . he is the definition of average .#n the fancy clothes ? please he is so painfully uncharismatic at work he wouldnt even have a cool tie. he’d have piercings tho that is true #andthe way people make him ambiguously brown .. i wish people took more care to accurately draw ethnic features #or at least figure out what ones they’re trying to represent #face shape variation is really really cool if u pay attention to it !!#also my personal propaganda is jon is hoh in the right ear & wore a (gray) hearing aid and had super generic glasses pre-coma BTW #i should draw season lineups for them i love them so much #i just have to figure out how long jon’s hair is😢that’s something i have 0 thoughts on😭#WAIT ALSO. u know how people draw martin’s hair turning white during the Lonely segment. i don’t get why they don’t just give him vitiligo #it makes perfect sense to me and it would be so swag awesome but i’ve never seen anyone draw it but me .. falls over #talking tag
