tbf while the overuse of english phrases can be annoying in croatian this isn't necessarily something new - one only need look into the medieval and new age plays to see lingua franca (italian, latin, german, turkish ) seeping into the commoner language is just a thing that happens when you have a foreign language that's as widely used as the native one. we can be morose abt it but ultimately it's a natural aspect of language evolution. we wouldn't have a lot of dialectal vocabulary if it weren't for this kind of mixing.

That is fair, but i feel like there's a difference in not having a choice but to adopt and adapt, and very much having a choice and just kinda rolling over (hence the cuck comparison).

Like, we didn't have a word for a džezva so we borrowed it from Turkish - we don't have a word for "cringe" so go ahead and say "krindž".

I feel the problem comes when you speak Croatian, but 75% of your production is just fully English sentences, which happens. I've unfortunately been subjected to it way too much by now. It's not a case of "A postaj to na story, a ja ću screenshottat i forwardat Marti" <- you can say post, story, screenshot, forward in Croatian, but it's not the end of the world if you say them in English. The problem is when you say, "Super ti je ispala fotka, you should post it" <- conversations where entire clauses are spoken in English between two people whose first language is shared, and not English.

[celeste444spacey]

hey girl im in a rut rn and would like some advice

ive been on this journey for 3 almost 4 years now and i feel like i made no progress whatsoever, ik the law works bc it worked for me before but becoming a celeb seems...like more effort. when i usually manifest i just affirm once or twice, or if it takes longer i usually affirm and feel fulfilled within. when i manifest being a celeb and the hottest it girl ever i feel like im affirming to get smth yk, i cant seem to fulfill it within.

idk if its resistance or feeling like im running out of time or if its too much of a big dream to reach and if i should settle for a 9-5 instead of living life wearing designer and riding around in limos with paparazzi chasing me lmao

lowk feel like giving up rn but if you got anything to share that might be helpful to me plz lmk. im desperate atp lmao

love ur posts xoxo

This resonates so much with me girl, and trust me on this, it's definitely the feeling of time and "running out".

It definitely feels like more effort, and for the reasons, which i'm sure you already know. It's luck. It really is, and what we're really manifesting is...luck.

If you want to fulfill it within you need to just realize why exactly you're manifesting. Like answer that question, why do you want to be famous? And when you get that answer, it can better help you feel fulfilled within.

Trust me, it's your desire for a reason, yes your dream is prolly not rare, but it's there for a reason. AND YOU DO NOT SETTLE. UNDERSTAND?????? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

It honestly can feel discouraging when there's no movement, so maybe try to take steps to feel like you're making some movement, and i mean like taking a step towards your fame. How are you getting famous? For eg: if you're trying to be a singer, open a yt channel for starters and post covers. Model? Find out your own style, work on your walk, if you want audition with agencies etc.

And as i always say

To be the it girl, you gotta feel like the it girl

so also, another thing, work on your it girl transformation, transform your wardrobe, start learning how to adopt the celebrity energy and YOUR specific energy, i'm def making more posts about this

Hope this helps bb, and i'm so happy you love my posts mwah

[intuitive-revelations]

Doctor Who Thoughts! (Ep 1 and 2)

Since the spoiler situation is so risky this year, I'll keep my usual episode notes below a read more for now. Took these non-chronologically while watching and rewatching (becuase even though I'm ridiculously busy rn with thesis and work stuff, of course I'm doing that), so it's less of a reaction and more of a moment-to-moment breakdown.

Ep 1: Space Babies

"I was adopted and the planet that took me in... they were kinda posh. They'd use titles like the Doctor, or the Bishop, or the Rani, or the conquistador. Say Doctor for a thousand years and it becomes my name." So we're right in with the recap. Good. Also still leaning on the Timeless Child thing, which I have mixed feelings about. I love it not being ignored... but I would still rather it not become THE origin for the Doctor. At least not without acknowledging some of the ambiguity on how exactly the Timeless Child is linked to the Doctor. (Personal favourite explanation: they're just the Other. They're not a previous 'incarnation' of the Doctor, but a previous 'REincarnation', something which we know existed on Gallifrey even prior to regeneration, and opens up its own questions about Gallifrey.)

A little odd emphasis on the titles, given it's such a renegade thing. Makes me think of entry-level fans who assume all Time Lords use such titles.

Love the Rani name drop though, of course. A bit odd to get one now, considering there was JUST almost one in The Giggle. Russell what are you up to...?

"You're the Doctor, but you're… the police?" "Police box, no! No, no, no, no, that's a disguise." "Oh." Ruby takes a deep breath realising she didn't just join a cop.

You CAN'T just spring This is Gallifrey on me like that Murray Gold. Not this early.

"I am the last of the Time Lords"... ugh again. Thanks Chibbs.

Also still a bit interesting that all Time Lords are assumed to be gone, given there's nothing as catostrophic as the Time War that caused it, just the Master raging out. There's still plenty of room for surviving renegades and such. (cough!Rassiloncough!) Pretty sure the Division agents in Flux were Time Lords too, though who knows if they're from the 'present' era. More on this in Ep 2.

"And I am so, so glad to be alive." Wow, you can tell 14 went through his break. Quite a turn around from 12 hesitating to regenerate and 13's hidden struggles.

The Doctor healing the butterfly... on one hand, it's not unprecedented with stuff like 10 and the TARDIS crystal, 11 healing River's hand or 12 and Davros, but compared to those cases it's a little odd seeing it done so easily for something with no tech or inate regenerative ability.

I find it interesting that Lizard!Ruby looks almost Silurian, but clearly isn't given her hair and antennae.

The TARDIS trip gags of this and 'mavity' are a fun stylistic switch for the show, but I do hope we don't get too many of them.

"Is that a matter transporter like in Star Trek?" "We've got to visit them one day." Assimilation^2 canon?! /s (but seriously, love stuff acknowledging the 'everything is canon' nature of the DW uni-/multiverse).

So much emphasis on the coincidence with Ruby. RTD loves that trope doesn't he?

"Baby farms boost the population. Sometimes a world goes sterile or... I don't know, goes mad and bans kissing." Or in the case of Gallifrey... maybe both, depending on how you follow Platt or Parkin's lore for the looms.

Don't think I didn't spot that Mavity easter egg on the overlay.

The phone call is a nice moment... even if entirely RTD ripping himself off.

So... the space babies! It's charming, it's campy, it's fun... it doesn't really work... I'm still glad for it, because what is Doctor Who if not being exceedingly ambitious with a dumb idea (if anything I'm glad that even with Disney money, DW's production value shines through!), but the babies expressions always match so poorly to the dialogue that it's pretty distracting. I hope kids will like it though.

I kinda wish these were just child actors, instead of cgi, babies, and voice acting. It would have made a lot more sense in the story, and probably been cuter tbh. (Side note: didn't Disney ask RTD to propose a more ambitious first episode? I wonder if that had some part in this.)

"I made this for you. It's a little flower." Some of Eric's expressions with the dialogue do make me crack up a bit though.

Also glad to see more "[blank] in space" formula episodes, since that was one thing the RTD era always really shined with.

The waiting for Mummy and Daddy thing is very charming too. As is the Doctor and Ruby taking time to give them all hugs.

The multi-pronged satellite design weirdly evokes the Division's timeship design. Definitely just a funny coincidence though. It's cool seeing less 'one-way-up' station designs though.

"Did we grow up wrong?" 😥 (Also with looms on mind, this weirdly feels like a reverse 'childe' situation.)

"Oh 'Nanomatrix electroform'." With the revelation that 'Nan-E' is a person, I like to think this is the Doctor just bullshitting his way through.

The snow and the memory changing is... interesting. More later.

"Oh, I thought my birth was crazy!" Let's not get into it Snail.

The shutting down of the baby station, yet it being illegal to actually stop birthing them even though the station has a limited lifespan feels VERY topical to me, in a weird way. It evokes the post-Roe abortion bans in America, and how pro-life people only care about the fetus, regardless of viability or post-birth care.

"That's the fate of every refugee in the universe. You physically have to turn up on someone else's shore." Again politics, quite explicitly with the use of 'shore' rather than orbit or a similar term that makes sense in an interplanetary context.

"Children will return to the upper levels, or have no /expletive/ dinner. Let Nan-E say fuck!

I love all the actual info in the screen art. If I was an active wiki editor I'd love to take the time to break down all the system info.

At first I thought the bogeyman would be a more 'fantasy' creature a la the Goblins, between it's storybook nature and scaring the Doctor, so it being an artificial creature designed to be scary down to its sounds was a cool twist. Also being made out of bogies?

The fact the story also firmly decides that it's worth saving too? That it's "one of the children"? Muah! 👌 No notes.

The way the airlock works with the 'oxygen field' is a little counter-intuitive and confusing, but I'll allow it. I take it as a safeguard force field gradually powering down, hence the slow depressurisation.

"A great pile of sh-" Let the Doctor say shit"

I buy the methane working to get them to Mondo Caroon a bit less. Hopefully planetary orbit is close enough for refugee status.

Again, Eric's face cracks me up.

TARDIS key! I like this tradition.

A bit cruel to not take Ruby to Ruby Road after bringing up the mystery during the episode, even if it makes sense. Clearly also a bit of a callback to Father's Day.

The emphasis on Ruby's adoptive mum vs bio mum is good.

This arc with Ruby feels weirdly like RTD giving his own take on a Series 6/7 story arc, even down to the ambiguous TARDIS bioscan like with Amy.

When the Doctor mentioned Time Lords and titles again, I was bracing myself to see something related in the scan, so didn't even realise it was snowing until the wide shot. But it said her species was human, so nevermind...

"My name was..." Such a tease! I doubt he's actually giving his birthname, even though it's not unprecedented for the Doctor to tell people. Probably either just explaining the title or something.

Ep 2: The Devils Chord

Maestro emerging from anything playing music is so Wordlord-core.

"Henry get away from him." "Them." Woo!

I could have sworn 'Timothy Drake' would be a real person (at first I assumed he was somehow linked to the Beatles), but a quick google doesn't seem to find anything? All I found was a modern-day composer, who seems to have done an album based on Voyager data. Weird choice to go with just a random person sharing the name of a DC character.

Henry Arbinger is neat. If he's actually a seperate character, I guess he's technically the Toymaker's grandson? He does seem to pre-exist Maesto's imprisonment.

Maestro is so good throughout the whole episode.

The fourth wall breaking with the theme! Transition into the main theme could have been smoother though. I kinda wish they just kept a full piano version all the way through, like Capaldi's guitar.

Speaking of the theme, it somehow appearing in universe on the jukebox?! Really funnily lines up with a later joke in retrospect.

"My mum she had a girlfriend: Claire." Between this, the "heartbroken lesbian song" later and Maestro, this episode really starts to showcase the queerness of this era.

Ruby's first plaid dress is so Clara-ish. As for 15… while I don't mind the Doctor being a bit more casual, seeing him wandering the TARDIS in jeans and trainers is kinda meh. The period costumes are great though. Always happy to see those.

Speaking of 15 and Ruby. They continue to be a delight.

Not gonna lie, as someone who's never really listened to the Beatles but knows their songs only vaguely, it took me a moment to realise there was something wrong with their 'dog' song.

Wasn't expecting the Cilla Black cameo!

Very weird doing a historical with living people. Particularly Paul McCartney, given he has a fairly prominent role, along with John Lennon.

Probably a bunch of easter eggs I'm missing because I don't know the Beatles. I only just discovered while writing that the "Mr Epstein" the Doctor mentioned was their manager.

Weird that we've had two mentions of the First Doctor and Susan in 1963 in two episodes. With it being Feb 11th here… cue more fan debate about when exactly they arrived in London, especially if you account for the "bad smog" in December 1962 line.

"You've got children?" "I did have. I will have." Now he could just be referring to the First Doctor's future, but I can't help but imagine this as a Miranda Dawkins reference! In fairness, he does say that "Time Lords get a bit complicated" which doesn't really match that interpretation. Could also connect it to the future!Other + Other'sGranddaughter!Susan interpretation of things I suppose.

"Where is she?" "I don't know. The Time Lords were murdered. The genocide rolled across time and space, like a great big cellular explosion. Maybe it killed her too." Uhhhhhhhhhh, WTF does that mean? It doesn't sound like the Master's actions, unless he went on a killing spree beyond Gallifrey? My best guess is it's referring to the Time War (in general, rather than just its ending - which tbf does at least match our current knowledge about Susan's fate). If it does refer to it, it kinda seems to ignore both the Moffat and Chibnall arcs with Gallifrey, both its return and its destruction again, by referring to the Time Lords as being 'murdered' in that genocide. Sounds more like The Ancestor Cell than anything tbh. The wiki connects it to the Death particle, but I doubt that.

Maestro giving the Giggle, already connected to music, and the Doctor immediately grabbing Ruby's hand and running running?!

The Doctor removing the sound with the sonic sure is... another sonic power. I've never been one to complain about the sonic use, but between this, plugging in the sonic last episode and the holograms and force field in the anniversary specials, this is getting a bit much. I'll allow it in this case though, as I assume it's working through the TARDIS translation circuit.

The sound design is great this episode.

Also again, the fourth wall breaks rule.

"That thing must be part of the pantheon" Wait... it's obviously linked to the Toymaker but... the pantheon as in the Pantheon of Discord? Like the Trickster's part of?

"One trick once: that's all you get with gods."

June 2024. Woah, so it's been a big time skip! 6 months from Ruby's perspective, and she has been travelling at least some of that time. The Doctor might know what's up with Ruby by this point?

Kinda crazy how much emphasis we've gotten ever since Flux on time's malleability, with the time tracks shifting so easily. Really supports my idea that the Ravagers' attempt to undo the Anchoring of the Thread has had an ongoing effect.

The ash turning to confetti when Maestro appears!

"Lord Temporal" ooh, how Obverse Books of you Maestro!

"Child of the Toymaker" Huh. That works surprisingly well with the version of the Toymaker's origin that has a sister (Hecuba from "The Queen of Time"). Interesting, considering The Giggle seemed to lean more in the Crystal Guardian direction.

"The Music of the Spheres" I know it's an actual term, but you can't say that without me thinking of the Prom minisode.

"You might be bright, and hot, and... *dun du-dun* timey-wimey." Heck yeah. Only contention is it could have been slightly more perfect if Maestro played the four-beat baseline, since 'heartbeat of a Time Lord' and all that. I guess that's kinda synonymous with the Master though, which might have been misleading.

Though they do then play four beats when attacking the TARDIS (also awesome), so I guess they could have gone with it in the first place.

"The only thing I can do is take us back to 1963!" Fast return switch time?

Him kissing the TARDIS better!

Weird emphasis on the TARDIS groan once they exit. Seemed disconnected from Maestro, but didn't come back again.

"I thought that was non-digetic" Perfect! So should we take this to mean that the Doctor can hear the show's soundtrack?!

The music while Ruby is dragged away. At first I thought it was "The Sun's Gone Wibbly", but listening closely it sounds closer to the music from the climax of Waters of Mars, itself very similar.

"Playing lovesick songs for heartbroken lesbians." I mentioned the queerness of the episode already, but can I also point out I think this is the first time we've actually used LGBT terminology in the show? We've certainly used the descriptors before and plenty of people have explicitly had partners of the same gender etc., but for example, Bill never called herself a lesbian, nor did Clara ever identify as bi. Only exception is 'gay', and even then it's mostly only been jokes (eg. the thin fat gay Anglican marines, Rose calling Nine gay as an insult etc.).

"How can a song have so much power, and power like him? The Oldest One. The night of her birth, he can't have been there. What for?!" Oooh, so the One Who Waits is connected to Ruby. Interesting... also another connection to the Guardians and/or 'pantheon'. Is the One Who Waits one of either of those? If a Guardian, then the only candidate is the Red Guardian (who was technically there that night being the Doctor), but that would be ridiculous to be the answer. If connected to the latter, then... the Trickster? Or more likely someone completely new, of course.

Ngl, at first a little part of me thought the 'reverse devil's chord' would end up being part of the theme song.

The Beatles were surprisingly underused through the episode, but them finding the chord is a decent use of them, even if it could be seen from miles away.

The wink launching into a song and dance number, less so! I was wondering when the musical scenes from the trailer were coming...

Shout out also to the Murray Gold cameo on the piano, somehow playing himself according to the credits, despite this being in the 60s.

I'm not familar with them so not 100%, but I think the two dancing with the Doctor and Ruby here are cameos from Strictly Come Dancing too? Specifically Shirley Ballas and Johannes Radebe.

Speaking of "the twist in the end" pretty cool that "Harbinger" survives. It's unlikely, but I'd love to see Maestro return, maybe for a full-on musical episode?

The piano dancing was cute. Very 'Big'!

Overall thoughts in a few words?

Space Babies was kind of meh, even if I appreciate the campiness of it and the ending is pretty good. Pretty standard decent, if not great, episode.

The Devil's Chord however might actually be one of my favourites? Maybe even my favourite RTD episode, though I'd have to think through them all. And that's without being a Beatles fan and probably missing all sorts of flourishes.

Looking forward very much to next episode too, with Moffat back! I saw the episode was about the Doctor stepping on a landmine, but I thought that was a joke before the Next Time teaser. 😅 Apparently it's Ncuti's favourite episode of the season, which is a good sign!

I wasn't actually tagged by anyone, but @owlsandwich opened it up to everybody so I'm giving this a try! Open tag, but also no pressure tags to @somethingclevermahogony , @queen-of-the-weenies and @sarandipitywrites !

We're gonna do my main current WIP, God-Touched, and also a couple I've tabled for a bit due to stress, which are called Gods of Steel, and Nico after the name of the MC, respectively. I copy pasted the questions and I may have missed one or two.

What has been your biggest struggle with your wip?

God-Touched: This is more of an overall writing struggle for me, but underwriting/being too concise. I tend to make unnecessary time skips when outlining and not add enough descriptive passages.

Gods of Steel: The world building. I usually enjoy complex world building, but I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this project. I'm taking it slow and building one aspect of it at a time as I'm motivated to do the necessary research, so fingers crossed that works out.

Nico: This one's kinda stupid, but keeping myself from imagining my protagonist as Nico di Angelo. She's completely different in appearance, mannerisms, etc, but I'm a rabid PJO fan and that was my first association with the name.

If your story was a TV show, what would the theme song/intro be?

God-Touched: Definitely something by Imagine Dragons, probably Natural.

Gods of Steel: Probably some kind of epic orchestral thing, I haven't found a specific track yet.

Nico: Song Of Women by the HU and Lzzy Hale. Going purely off of sound and vibes.

What other pieces of media do you think would share a fan base for your story?

God-Touched: Supernatural, Firefly, the King Arthur reincarnated as a space lesbian book (Once and Future) and the book Spellhacker by MK England.

Gods of Steel: This is gonna sound really presumptuous, but I'm trying to make it similar to Dune and the Na'vi Avatar movies.

Nico: Honestly, Tamora Pierce, even though my story is more sci-fi than fantasy. Also slightly the Divergent movie (haven't read the book in years), in that the MC slowly realizes just how much of a dystopia she's actually living in, even though she started out compliant.

What was the first part of your wip that you created?

God-Touched: The general concept of Christian mythology put into a queer science fantasy context.

Gods of Steel: The setting, (humanity's original non-Earth home), and some of its history.

Nico: The idea for the relationship arc between the two main characters. It was the first time I'd ever wanted to write romance, and it was an interesting challenge to come up with how that would play out.

Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

God-Touched: This is a major spoiler, but the main gang ends up adopting an iridescent rainbow baby space dragon. She looks majestic, but is actually a huge derpy goof. She's heavily based on Banana, my little sister's big ginger cat who is not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box

Gods of Steel: The main villains on this story are cyborgs, but some are cyborg animals rather than people. They started out as normal robots, but then got this virus that made them grow flesh, skin and other organic parts, but many of the animal-like ones still have working blades or guns as part of their bodies that they use when hunting humans for food.

Nico: The fauna of the setting for this one is very ice age influenced, the main character has a war mammoth that she's raised from a calf to be her mount and companion.

What part of your wip are you working on rn?

God-Touched: First draft of the first two books, if all goes well it's gonna be a five book series.

Gods of Steel: World Building.

Nico: In my first stage of outlining.

How do your characters get around? (ex: trains, horses, cars, dragons, etc.)

God-Touched: spaceships and hover bikes

Gods of Steel: spaceships, then on foot after all their tech gets infected by the cyborgs.

Nico: Mammoth-back riding.

What are your hopes for your wip?

This is the same for all of them so I'll just do one answer: A devoted fandom that uses my books as inspiration to create their own awesome content. Fanart, fanfic, animatics, those character analysis YouTube videos, anything like that.

you guys....... YOU GUYS.......... i just finished s1 of grey's anatomy and i have Thoughts.

first of all, love sandra oh and cristina SO MUCH <3 she's my bestfriend she would trade me for hard candy she's the love of my life. her struggles with being a people person are so relatable to me bc i used to have a very hard time during most of my life to relate to others (i'm kinda more like izzie in a way now) so that was . Great to see. (also her thing with dr burke is so!!!!!!! it had me giggling like omg raw lust in their eyes and the "you're the only one" line and just that whole scene..... i need them to adopt me legally.)

then meredith i don't.. really care abt tbh she lives in the shadow of her amazing mom who can't even remember who she is anymore. it is tragic and she's rlly good at what she does but her continuing the affair with derek aka doctor mcdreamy pissed me off quite a lot so. since she seems to have nothing else going for her i'm kinda just hoping her scenes end early as of rn. it could change later on tho there's 20 seasons of this shit lmfao

someone who i liked from the beginning is george because god he's SUCH a loser i need him PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need him to be bisexual and have such hard raw anal sex he can't walk for a week and feels like he's been knotted for life but i also need him to date izzie like this is insane!!!!!!!!!! he's so anxious all the time and has 0 social skills and i love him sorry to any haters u will never see me hating him,,,,

i don't have any other strong feelings towards others as of rn, i love izzie and want to see more of her backstory, but as of rn cristina and george are my faves! who knows what will change next season but we're gonna find out soon (it's already opened and ready to play)

Bungo Stray Dogs - Season 1 A "I didn't know what to expect when I started watching, but watch I did" Commentary

-i am exciteeeed! i know nothing about the anime except through pretty images that have intrigued me and the s5 collective meltdown of the fandom. that's all i know. let's go.

-dazai took one look at atsushi and said "we're adopting."

-i am intrigued by dazai. when i think of dazai, i smirk. i might be in trouble.

-some incenstuous siblings, i see

-the anime: explaining everything in a reasonable pace, as it should me: but WHAT ABOUT THIS? WHAT ABOUT THAT? AND THAT OTHER THING?! TELL ME EVERYTHING, NOW, ALL AT ONCE!

-atsushi is such a sweetheart. so likable.

-RANPO LOOKS SO CUTE. HE LOOKS SO DAMN CUTE. WHY.

-i'm sorry, i just. i seem to be fond of dazai?

-oh no. is sasaki the azure messenger?

-'kay, that was an abrupt ending to kunikida's ideals/sasaki's death ep

-CHUUYA THE OLD PARTNER

-ranpo, shut up, we save our own

-the wonderful thing is, i dislike akutagawa and the port mafia in a "they're the villainous villains" way, but i'm also rooting for higuchi to save him because they've communicated her desire well and you want her to have that

-anime: kenji-kun. me: basically black butler's finney. (i make comparisons like this fondly. i love drawing parallels between random characters)

-are you kidding me, naomi just disappeared mid-sentence? they just disappear? how is that any fair

-can atsushi turn into a tiger whenever now, or does it still stand that he can turn into a tiger under the moonlight but turn parts of him in tiger whenever? and is it "can" turn into a tiger under the moonlight, or "has no choice but to"? was that further explained after the initial introduction? did i miss it?

-so are atsushi's boots for sale or...

-so crazy idea, the agency is fighting the guild, port mafia is fighting the guild, what if we teamed up for more chaos and shenanigans?

-man i'm gonna miss these opening and ending titles

-so, overall opinion: i'm here for the characters and their interactions. everyone has style and/or rizz, everyone is slightly deranged and utterly chaotic, and everyone is so damn intriguing. and when it’s funny, it’s funny. i also love their designs. and the voice actors are delightful. the weakest thing for my personal taste is the plot, in the sense that i'm mostly interested to see "what these crazy kids will do next" instead of "OMG THIS IS SO INTERESTING IN AND OF ITSELF." i did like a lot how dazai saving atsushi from himself and from the world led naturally to atsushi saving kyouka because that’s what he’s been taught by example - that he had the character development of “if dazai thought that worthless me was worth a chance, and this is why i'm here and *cough* thriving, then the person you think is not worth saving is also worth a chance to be saved and thrive.” dazai is my favorite, and so is atsushi, but dazai is SO DAMN INTRIGUING! i am looking forward to finding out why the change of heart from port mafia rough guy to agency whatever-he-has-going-on-now guy. i watched the season quite quickly, i just wanted MORE MORE MORE of the characters. that's where i'm at rn.

winter 2023 anime opinions so far

ars no kyojuu: STUPIDLY INVESTED IN THIS human experimentation is fine but i draw the line at stepping on the baby octopus in the opening shot. evil ppl. cast is fun & i desperately need a wacky fantasy fight show <3 also adopting that cat girls speech pattern for rini immediately lol

trigun stampede: I MISSED TRIGUN vash baby you're doing so well <3 i have zero gripes with this being a reimagine reboot EXCEPT THAT NEW GUY he's annoying. not only can i not forgive them for taking out milly IF they're going this road the least they could have done is let meryl be the experienced journalist and not the rookie who doesn't know shit. she deserves better. envision this: older meryl design, her mentoring some over-eager newbie instead, still w/ her straightlaced paladin mentality 100000/10 i am right studio orange hire me bc rn it just looks like u didn't know what to do w/ the top tier female characters the original series gave u. SALT

nier automata ani: soundtraaaack ;uuuuuuu; genuinely zero thoughts i know every single note of every single song by heart. six yrs ago i played that opening chapter as demo and im feeling Some Sorta Way abt it (the way is NEED TO REPLAY AUTO TOMATO IMMEDIATELY) we all knew putting this into animation would be mid at best n sacrifices were made but they're doing a great job w it all things considered! also DYING that we're getting the extra endings as skits.. when's the fish

revenger: mfw the 利便/revenger word play clicked god i love japanese!!!! extremely good character design & execution excited 2 learn more abt what's wrong w all these people lol

tokyo revengers s2: the other revenge one w. same gripes as last time with the pacing n Reasons For Shit Happen but i have enough distance that i can go into this less annoyed and more intrigued by what kisaki's deal is etc etc.

buddy daddies: the kid's the weakest part of this comedy and every part of it (gun action, accidental dad, stupid comedy) is done better by some other show this season + they gave away that cat so for now that show's on thin ice but im sticking around for a few eps

sugar apple fairy tale: IT'S SO PRETTY!!!!! slow fairy prince shoujo anime exactly as advertised thank u

[eviltiddyprodnz]

xo kitty: episode 4

my girl got her room assigned with a gamer 😭 my condolences. Minho, you will crumble

you can call her the Portland stalker but one poopy baby and she's kicked out of the dorm. I feel like she's going to move in with them, hopefully with less conditions though! then dramatically move out

maniac by skz!

'you can sleep when you're dead ms covey' 💀

Minho has the Samsung Android 🤨 villain era confirmed 🤪

'worms worms worms' Q: We're in nature embrace it 😤😂

the kitty dae thing is just going to cause me pain

kitty will open to anyone about her mom 😭 ✋ well hey at least Yuri is responding

her managing to get into the records room with her matchmaking skills 😂 slay

they just have the adoption information in the hospital too now!??? right under the names be serious. Is her teacher her half brother 😭😭😭

she's going to jail

Minho is the antithesis to Kitty quite literally at this point. wreaking havoc to all love in all fronts possible 😭 just needs someone to talk to

the French guy being awfully french sends me in

I knew the Australian teacher was going to save kitty. that's your brother babe !!!

the naurrrr 💀

cannot fault her for jumping to conclusions when I'm doing the same rn

and that's why you should've let kitty stay Minho!!!

lmao him pouting around Dae. everybody wants Dae 💀

at what point does anyone actually cut Kitty slack in this show lmao like everybody just abandoned her and she's really surviving here alone.

Q being the guiding light and telling me and Kitty both to not jump to conclusions.

the way they're friends now considering he was the first one to go I'm on Dae's side and he's now at least her friend 😭

Q is so fucking real and Kitty's roomate is not only a slob but a real fucking creep 😭😭😭

Minho finds Kitty on some website where people upload videos of someone sleeping ' I don't see the appeal'. Q: yet somehow you find the site.

Minho made her move out he better find my girl a place!!! L after L for my girl she can't catch a break.

Also for a second i thought he found out something about Yuri and Julianna and not kitty.

Kitty living with Q is a massive slay actually.

And scene

[moonwabbitt]

bad news bears below

so apparently we owe 10.70 and if we don't pay in 10days it could be reason to evict us from the apartment, and i swg since the pandemic the apt has been looking to kick us out for whatever reason, we got a scare during the pandemic when it was illegal to evict people and got served a letter but then they said oh we weren't serious but now? and idk if my mom has paid it, she's been not wanting to pay the owed amount outside of the rent we owe but like its 10 between us and housing so like

trying not to freak out, dealing with dysphoria/new piercing and being perceived with a new piercing while black afab in the south and just

add into the fact my mom is sorta sick rn, she went to the er this past week, i've still had school and work and i have to do both, in one day during the week and like i know im not alone in that but doing so while disabled, and struggling mentally,,,,and like i closed my comms indefinitely, and i don't wanna reopen them again because they drained me so much emotionally and im still working on comms from july and an emergency comm i took near august and just man,,,,aha MAN,,,,,

im struggling so much to connect my art online with people and get engagement and im hoping to do some adopts but idk how to sell them to drum up traffic and interests except ya know get gud or whatever and just man,,,aha,,,man,,,i have a paper due this thursday and my studyguide is due tuesday, and i have a doctors appnt monday and i apparently owe a balance for that??? and i close and open back to back this week, we're doing inventory it looks like so i'll be having to do restocking/moving and just

i really don't mean to complain but also i just needed to vent i think

[ghostly-flower]

Oh well, I have things?

I explain to my friend what a QPR was like, what is it like, for my eyes at least and at the best way possible so, Im happy because... Yk, he's someone I would be willing to have that kind of relationship with yk... He didn't fully understood it but, it's okay, he did tried to understand and he his pretty open-minded so. Yeah, Im happy (Im also very smart muehehe I hope I plated a seed in his head muehehehehe)

And... Hmmm, I met new people? Kinda? Ahm...They are nice! They seem nice, and funny and really cool!!! I just hope that this could last a bit more than recent friendships.

This year I had... 3 friends? Well, for a period 2 but ahm... There's 4 people, but 2 of them feel like 0,5 and 0,5 so- yeah.

I wasn't really able to deal with all those people. Idk if I can deal with more rn. BUT-but... Contrary to others this one started in a soft way, not really "strong bronk bronk"

And, I also can relate to them in some ways!!! And they like to hear and like to include everyone and like to be at peace and feel happy, those people felt like we're cozy people to be around... I can't remember a time when I felt like that before. Maybe with my online best friend who is my adoptive dad.

This makes me happy... I hope I can deal with it

[arobinwithoutbatman]

((Alrighty! It's been a while since I've done the comics things and we're finally on Prodigal!))

Dick wearing the cowl... oohhhhh this is already setting a tone

Oh okay that cover is jsut saying "Hey Dick's wearing the suit rn" but I think we're doing one of Robin's issues rn

Ah. Harvey's having therapy

...*Is Dick wearing the cowl or not?* I do like the title Brothers In Arms tho

Ah. We're getting the story of why Harvey scares the bejesus out of Dick

Harvey having one hell of an identity crisis, poor guy

And Dick stepped in as one of the hanging victims so it ended up being between him and Batman.. fuck

And we're moving onto talking about Jason

...I do kinda buy Jason being reckless to a degree because I guess you kinda need that quality to be able to take the occasional risk to survive but they're really skipping over the whole "he wanted to meet his mother" thing. Poor boy was having an identity crisis of his own, he didn't know Joker was gonna be involved at all!

Ah, this is essentially the recap issue because Dick doesn't know shit about what Tim's beginning was like and obviously Tim doesn't know the exact ins and outs of Dick's beginning

...oh... one hell of a way for your first major incident to end, Dick :( He would've been... what, 10?

Ooooookay, Dick is taking up the cowl. Bruce is taking a step back to actually rest and also live the part of life he's neglected but can't justify leaving Gotham without Batman so... Dick

One hell of a prologue

-------------

Oh hey Croc

Wayne Manor is still a mess and still no Alfred :( But at least Dick is in fact able to cook and can make sure he and Tim don't go hungry

Lol Dick's attempt at the spooky voice and Tim calling it a spooky voice and both of them acknowledging that Gordon's smart and will catch on soon enough

"Not stealing, Robin, more like borrowing one of dad's toys" "Toy's got muscles" "That's our dad." Dick has 100% already mentally adopted Tim even though Tim still has his dad

Tim's already having a great time and Dick is having understandable doubts and worries

Hoo boy, mr ventriloquist

But first, lunch

-------------

Food acquired

So Arkham's still rubble, everyone's staying in Blackgate, the guards hate it and Harvey's up for court

And Tim skipped school to get lessons from Dick who's currently cleaning the house

...is Two Face seriously potentially getting out of court because of a name mix up? Is this really what we're doing?

Okay Scarface is jumping into the game again and trying to take his turf back, Tim is excited to be doing proper Batman and Robin things again and Dick is realising just how much weird shit he's missed

And also Gordon actively choosing not to ask for help because the trust is gone

So... Scarface, the puppet, is just going to a new person? Does everyone just fall into the delusion that he's real?

----------------

...am I meeting a rat themed rogue?

Ratcatcher. Mkay

And Tim staying up late to make sure Dick knows about Two Face

Your dad wants to take you to a tennis match? That'd be kinda fun! It's time with your dad! He's trying, it's not his fault he's limiting your time with Robin

Harvey actually got out on a clerical error wtf

Oof Gordon really doesn't trust anything rn

So Ratcatcher was a pest control guy before basically going nuts?

Damn, that was actually really smart

----------------------

Well that's one hell of an opening. What've you done now, Tim?

...this is 100% a stress dream, there's no way Tim would actually go to school in costume

Called it! Stress dream... and incredible bed head

Ooof ass crack of dawn wake up after potentially getting in late from patrol to go fishing with his dad

Oh great! Two Face really hates Robin now! ...dang, that really recolours my interactions with my Two Face...

Tim's relationship is definitely on the rocks

Okay that's kind of iconic tho, Two Face standing there with a chainsaw saying he can hack

--------------------------

Oof the pressure is already showing for Dick :( Poor guy

DIck's hair getting pretty long

And Two Face basically redoing the first time he and Dick crossed paths

----------------

Oh heeeeeyyyyy Babs~ I see you

Fuck off Cluemaster

Tim, stop sassing Two Face

Ah so people actually can tell there's been multiple Robins

And Dick's ready to give the cowl back up

-------------

Awwww Tim and Ariana on a movie date

Tim got the shit kicked out of him, didn't feel better as Robin and now his future step mother is here to help his dad with physio

Lol Dick making Tim actually help with the housework

---------

Oof, Dick having an identity crisis... and the poor guy is gonna have to do this again when Bruce gets lost in time and Damian shows up

-----------

Ah. Tallyman is back

---------------

Damn, Tim immediately checking Dick when he starts snapping and Dick listening and readjusting

They both split to investigate and yeah, it probably didn't feel good at the time but Dick was able to prove to himself that Jean Paul really wasn't involved. And he's not. He's not doing well

We've got someone called Steeljacket?

Oh and Bruce is home

--------------

Bruce and Dick arguing and Tim going for an unwilling joyride on some asshole

--------------

Jus Troika left and then I'll *finally* be done with this saga

[neganium]

There's nothing else for it; if I don't take a bit of money out of savings I'll never have a chance of fixing this stupid internet situation. I'm well and truly stuck otherwise. And it might not even work! But I just can't do this anymore.

I can't afford a lot of things. I can't afford a better computer, I can't afford a better home, I can't even really afford the most basic groceries. And everything I try to do to fix this never seems to work; I'm fucking trapped, y'all.

I wish I could eat smth rn. But we're either out of or almost out of just about everything.

Whatever, man; I've still got comms open and adopts for sale. Link in bio. I'm not really feeling it anymore.

[capybaraonabicycle]

6, 14, 21 for the wip questions!!!!

Thank you so much anon <3

I have reblogged too many wip ask games so now I am left guessing which one you meant 😅 I'll go with the last one I reblogged and if I am mistaken, please lmk and I will do the correct one?

I am going to go with my beloved cat wip - I fear this continues to be all I think about. If you haven't heard me talking about it: the fic is basically "The Doctor with fam 1.0 adopt a cat who isn't a cat. (fic contains copious amounts of thasmin pining)"

6. Does this chapter/fic have any twists that you’re proud of?

Hmmm, there is the very obvious one with 'the cat is actually a character we have known for a long time and not a cat!' but that is a given, that's like the whole premise of the fic.

I don't know if there are many twists, the story actually moves in quite a straight line. Maybe? Or maybe it just seems to me that way because it comes from my brain. Anyway, there are a few times I am tricking the readers a little and I enjoy those.

Towards the end - so this is a bit of a spoiler now, but the question was always asking for that right? - for example, there is a scene where I 'forget' Ryan exists. So like I'll have the narrator - Yaz - comment on what everyone is doing and how she feels about that and she just stops mentioning him all of a sudden like he's just not part of the story anymore.

Which is later revealed to be by design - and I would like to think I am hinting at that earlier - but I hope the readers will stumble over it and go "hey, author, you know how one of your main characters is Ryan?! Why the hell have you stopped talking about him? Yaz is not THAT gay that she would forget about him just because she's focused on the Doctor! (and like, he's doing some important stuff rn we would kinda like to know how he's getting on with that?!)"

(Aaand I just realised I did a little bit of the same to Graham - just that with him the others actually forget about him on accident. Not that you can blame them, some REALLY weird stuff is going on while he gets left out)

14. What have you been finding frustrating with writing this chapter/fic?

So I have been mentioning the plot and the length before. I am at about 42k words now with a complex-ish plot and a new alien species to fit my liking. (who I then kill off at least for now so yay 🙃 - I might have to change that actually if I come up with something better)

This fic was never meant to be long or complicated. It was supposed to be a fun little cat fic. And now the cat isn't even in it for like 3/4 of the fic 😔

(and right now I am finding the editing of what I have written most frustrating tbh, might do that only quickly and badly in the end)

21. Share 3 songs that would belong on a playlist for this chapter/fic.

tw suicidal thoughts mention in the cavetown song

Juno - cavetown (comforting vibes, cats <3, doing the hard but good thing for the sake of a pet, the staying alive part isn't too far off either - more for the general characterisation of 13 and Yaz than in my fic specifically but anyway) (I also find the line 'she's never done nothing wrong' brilliant in regard to Siren. Because she absolutely hasn't done anything wrong but also she's a little devil and has killed so many people)

In the middle - Dodie (I've realised I do not know many throuple songs so this is a little for lack of better alternative. But I also like the playfulness of the song. River would approve)

Brave - Sara Bareilles (one of my personal coming out songs so it holds a special place in my heart and we're dealing with quite a bit of coming out in the fic. Also the fic is about Yaz (and others) having to be brave in multiple aspects. And about the importance of open communication so yeah - they'd need a song like this)
