my other niche riordanverse bird-woman related hc is that all harpies are birds of prey, for obvious reasons. like, i know canonically Ella is supposed to be a parrot. all signs point to parrot. that's the joke with her, that she parrots back stuff she's learned. HOWEVER the joke was horribly executed and i think it is significantly more fun and interesting if Ella is a bearded vulture.

like. a.) looks fun visually, b.) further reminds/emphasizes the fact that she's a harpy specifically than just a bird lady. like yeah no harpies eat people. Ella is carnivorous. She has definitely eaten a demigod before. c.) Also implies that the reason her feathers/hair is red is that she tints them like how actual bearded vultures do, which is just kind of fun.

#pjo #riordanverse #ella pjo #headcanon #headcanons #she SCAVENGES KNOWLEDGE and also if she's a scavenger then that explains why she was hanging out around Phineas #but also she like. has DEFINITELY eaten a demigod before if not killed one. at least one.#which i think is fascinating #my art

important question

If you -- not a character optimized for gameplay capability, but you the actual real live person -- had one or more Pokémon, what Pokémon would you have?

#I've asked four people and gotten four wildly different answers #which I think is FASCINATING #so I'm throwing it open to the masses #what's your deal in the poké-world?#pokémon

RIP Victor Hugo, you would've loved my brain 😔

#les misérables #les miserables #les mis #i wanna do the thing where you make a victorian child have a stroke by showing them a britney spears music video or something #but instead i just infodump everything i know on this old man that wrote my favorite book #and i know a lot of random shit #but lets be real #old vicky boy would love to hear about how the word helicopter isn't the joining of heli and copter like people usually assume #but rather helico meaning rotational #and pter meaning winged (like how pterodactyl is pter (winged) and dactyl (referring to the joint of its claw that connects to the wing))#which i think is fascinating #anyways #do you think if victor hugo drank red bull he would explode?#or would he just write a sequel to les mis where they didn't die holding hands

RE: Amazon's Lord of the Rings series: I think this excellent video from Sarah z -- about the way that right-wing backlash against certain media properties makes it nearly impossible to have genuine conversations about them, because you can't talk about them in good faith without inadvertently adding to the right-wing dogpile of people criticizing them for racist sexist reasons -- conveys pretty much everything I should probably say about it ladjflksdfs. Sarah Z makes a great point that this kind of vicious right-wing backlash often tends to deliberately focus media properties that are mediocre because of other reasons (like boring corporate mandates) and claim they're mediocre because of diversity. Right-wingers intentionally ignore properties that have diversity and are Good, and intentionally ignore the billions of shows/movies that aren't "woke" but are also similarly mediocre. Because right-wingers don't actually care about the "quality of art" unless they can use that as a weapon to attack the people they hate.

#rings of power #i watched it in an airbnb that had it on while fleeing a hurricane #it's sad because i think the copyright issues dogging the amazon series are so interesting!!!!#and id love to talk about them #the show itself is a blandly fine okay generic fantasy show #because theyre like mandated to be generic since they dont have the rights to the specifics #but the rights issues are fascinating!#and really shows how copyright law in the united states hamstrings ANYONe's ability to create meaningful transformative work #like one interesting thing I noticed is that the series uses practically None of tolkien's words #almost as if the complicated rights issues also limit the amount of quotes they're allowed to use #(I counted only 2 highly edited Tolkien quotes within the 8 hours of the first 6 episodes)#and the absence of the language is so strongly Felt #which I think is fascinating #which separates it from every single adaptation before it as well (including the obscure low budget ones) which always utilize the language #like wow it's almost like Language is super important to the story #also wow I wish this series were as progressive and far left as right-wingers claim it is alkjsldkfjsdf #it is Not #it is very obvious while watching it that the writer's room was Waaay less diverse than the cast #and the cast itself really isn't all that diverse when you get down to it #lotr #is posting this a mistake?#idk I got dogpiled by right-wingers the other day so I dont fear death anymore

I made the mistake of absent mindedly rubbing my face with a rough towel after sauna yesterday, and completely forgot to accomodate for the nose.

The piercing suddenly feels week old again on the right side.

Ow. Do not recommend.

#shut up paper #Considering how thin strip of flesh the septum is you'd think irritating the piercing would make the entire hole upset #But no it's always specifically the right side that ever gets sore #Which I think is fascinating #Well fascinating and hurt

Dog Meshi.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #laios touden #The foreshadowing of the laios's barking is so funny. It isn't even just Marcille's flashback. It's everywhere.#It's the love of dogs. How he intimidates the basilisk. General fascination with creatures and their behaviours.#This is a man who is would not be a furry per say but would own a fursuit for the fascination of the craft.#Laios is the guy in the forums rating people's hybrid fursonas for nothing but the love of creatures.#Dog Laios would use his powers to go into dog-free restaurants.#That human impression is so good. One might say 'Woah who's that confident hairy guy? Alright boss; in you go.'#He would be the no.1 customer of a New York Deli that has no legal business license but makes the best sandwiches in the city.#“Would Senshi run it?” I think he would also be a dog in this theoretical AU. Which...makes the scene even funnier actually.#A comic in which everyone is dogs was never something I thought I'd make but here we are!#Marcille is a borzoi (elf of dogs). Tolden siblings are golden lab-retrievers.#Senshi is a scottish terrier. Chilchuck is harder; I need to think on that one. Another terrier perhaps.#Happy Thistle Thursday once again. I hope this comic makes someone laugh half as much as I did while drawing it.

a black spot on the sun

#metropolis 1949 #metropolis manga #tezuka star system #mitchy #kenichi #art tag #i dont think i consider metropolis a must-read unless youre a hardcore tezuka fan but it IS a very interesting one #especially as a fan of astro boy metropolis 2001 AND metropolis 1927 #mitchy is the son of fritz lang's false maria and the mother of atom #and the whole work is a fascinating reminder of the cyclical and referential nature of all art #(not to say metropolis 1949 doesnt have value standing on its own- it totally does and i really enjoyed reading it)#(but it's almost impossible to look at completely on its own given its place in this long chain of things vaguely inspired by each other)#(all of which are much more well-known)

hey leader!!!

#persona 3 #p3 fanart #makoto yuki #minato arisato #junpei yori #yukari takeba #i think their trio dynamic is the most overlook in any game #we talk about makoto in relation to anyone else but i always find it fascinating how #despite being the bro character. junpei initially resents makoto and actively has to work towards understanding him #as opposed to other bro characters who immediately love the protagonist #and i love how yukari learns to open up to him even through her own trust issues AND his aloof general attitude #to the point she behaves how she does in the answer (iykyk)#which is in my opinion (and like no one elses lol) one of the most compelling characterizations in a female character in persona #ok rants over. i just love these guys and i think they are sadly underappreciated #art #fanart #spin draws

from the homumiko mines

#dgs #tgaa #dgs spoilers #tgaa spoilers #homumiko #idk why mikotoba is taller in the kiss. hes on his tiptoes #the first one is inspired by the moment when sholmes puts his hands on ryu's neck so he can feel how cold they are from blood loss lol #anyway i continue to be deeply fascinated with early years homumiko #i feel like my view of their relationship is more slowburn than most #like. they were both not at their best when they met and i can very much see a scenario where they start living together w/out necessarily #liking each other #the last one in based on a line in 1-5 where gregson (?) says that after an hour of blood loss even sholmes piped down or something #which makes me think he would not shut up beforehand. and i think he'd say some stuff He Really Shouldn't Have #but susato wrote it off as delirium + she was too worried abt her dad and messing with the crime scene #que like 5 months later her going .........ohhhhhh #thats not how you write que i think. anyway

yuki tsukumo as a jujutsu tech student

#after i finish nostalgic chill #i think i want to write about yuki tsukumo in her youth #shes very fascinating to me #at one point she was the only special grade sorcerer in japan... like there must be something to dissect there #right?#only halfway through the colouring process did i realise #that her uniform looked a lot like todo's #which was cute but unintentional #like master like student #art #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #fanart #yuki tsukumo #anime #character design #garuda was awful to draw #hated every second of it

i think we all learned that the real villain of Dead Boy Detectives was the internalized homophobia

#flowerspeak #dead boy detectives netflix #dead boy detectives #edwin had to struggle with his the whole season #and then when his bully accepted his real feelings and apologized i think it was implied death took him to a better afterlife #which is fascinating #but also lovely #but yeah #the real villain is homophobia

So, given the revelations that came with The Book of Bill, and all the intentional parallels they've drawn between Ford and Bill, and even the way we can kinda infer that Bill either saw something of himself in Ford or at least thought he found someone that could potentially really understand him...

With all that in mind, the insistence of Bill of having Ford being the one that opens the portal even after Ford realizes what Bill really is and what he wants, and rejects him... at that point it might have been easier to try and get anyone else, to possess someone and just break into the lab and open the portal that way, right? The portal was complete, he needed someone to open it, but he didn't need FORD to do it...

But, and I am not the first one to point this out by a longshot, I subscribe to the theory that Bill WANTED FORD to be the one to do it, he wanted Ford, the one person he had arguably a genuine connection with in a trillion years, to make the same mistake he did... he wanted to break Ford like he was broken, by making him the architect of his dimension's destruction.

And then he would truly have someone that would understand him completely.

Someone as damaged as him.

This concept is explored beautifully

in this fic by Caspercryptid (FaiaHae) and theneonpineapple:

#billford #the book of bill #gravity falls #stanford pines #ford pines #bill cipher #now do i think this was the plan on the part of the writers when the show was airing?#no not at all #i doubt they even had bill's backstory truly fleshed out then or even the relationship with bill and ford #do i think this is the intention of the writers NOW? honestly idk #the parallels between bill and ford are very intentional #and even in interviews hirsch talks about it #but who knows #this is just speculation and deep diving into the fascinating dynamics these two have which is 80% the canon material #and an extra 20% which drives me feral that are the IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT THE CANON SAYS

Pac: I don't know if you remember, we left Cell on an island with just a bullet and a revolver at his disposal and we fled. So, theoretically, we outsmarted* Cell and gave him what he deserved, understand? So, my headcanon, understand? You know? But the drawing was really cool.

[ *passar a perna – literally to deceive, but the direct translation is like a leg sweep, which is why Chat responds with "What leg?" ]

Pac: [Reading chat] What leg? Yeah, not the right one. Wait– not the right. Exactly. The left. Is it the left? Wait, which leg did I lose? [...] No, wait– the left, because my dominant leg is the right. So I will choose the left. [Reading chat] "You chose?" I like to think I had the power to choose.

—

Pac talks about Fuga Impossível lore and implies that Cell let him decide which leg he'd lose. 🔪

[ Full transcript / translation ↓ ]

—

Pac: Guys, it's not the other way around, in my headcanon– in my headcanon– you have to know how to respect my headcanon. In my headcanon– because, I don't know if you remember, we left Cell on an island with just a bullet and a revolver at his disposal and we fled. So, theoretically, we outsmarted* Cell and gave him what he deserved, understand? So, my headcanon, understand? You know? But the drawing was really cool.

[ *passar a perna – literally to deceive, but the direct translation is like a leg sweep, which is why Chat responds with "What leg?" ]

Pac: [Reading chat] What leg? Yeah, not the right one. Wait– not the right. Exactly. The left. Is it the left? Wait, which leg did I lose? Oh sht... [Long pause] I don't remember, man. Oh, I don't know guys, I don't know. Did I decide? Oh, man. None? I'm kidding–

Pac: Well, if I have to decide? The right? I don't know. Nobody knows, right? But this drawing was really cool, it was really cool. You choose one there and I choose the right one. No, wait– the left, because my dominant leg is the right. So I will choose the left. Because like, I'm thinking like this, look what came into my head: Which leg would go away? Wow, I thought "So, if I'm going to kick a ball, I'm going to shoot it with my right leg. If I didn't have a right leg, I wouldn't be able to shoot the ball properly. So I prefer the left." That was my line of thinking, you know? I don't know. It's a bad example, right? And that's it, right? [Reading chat] "You chose?" Yeah, I like to think I had the power to choose.

#Pactw #Pac #Fuga Impossivel #Impossible Escape #QSMP #July 9 2024 #''I like to think I had the power to choose'' <- Implying Cell asked which leg he wanted to lose. HORRIFYING #JUST CASUALLY MAKING THAT CANON. Pac why do you keep adding the most horrifying / tragic things to Pac cubito's Fuga lore #Anyways big thank you to Elevann on Twitter for the translation help! ESPECIALLY that bit about passar a perna that's fascinating #That also makes Chat's comment a million times funnier pfttt #A better more literal translation for that might be ''we swept his legs out from under him'' but that's a bit wordy and doesn't fit as well #Translated

law and luffy are just like. what if I saw you at the peak of your miracle working competence, and then the literal next time I saw you it was at your most isolated and broken. and what if that moment of seeing you alone and grieving and terrified was the moment where I decided you were someone worth keeping, someone who I personally cared about and wanted around. how does that not make you wanna lose your fucking mind.

and then the other thing on top of that which always gets me is the way that you can just so clearly see that neither of them has any idea how to fit this relationship into any preexisting context - Luffy calls him part of his crew, but law is the captain of his own crew and would clearly die before giving that up; law calls them allies but it is glaringly obvious that they care about each other in a way that goes beyond that. of course Luffy is generally a lot less bothered about this than law, who routinely wants to put his own head through a wall about it, but it’s just such a fun layer to their dynamic I think.

#law is sitting there like NO NEED TO DTR. WE KNOW WHERE WE STAND AND ITS FINE. and Luffy’s like yeah exactly we’re besties for life :D #law head in his hands like oh god we DO need to dtr… but luffy has fully moved on that train has left the station and there’s no going back.#sorry bby you missed your chance (debatable if he ever had one LMAO)#anyways back to my first point. like it’s endlessly fascinating to me that they’re initially drawn to each other at their best and brightest #but the moments in which their relationship+devotion to each other are actually cemented are when they’re at their lowest #it’s luffy with his guts on laws operating table. it’s law under doffy w/6 bullets in his chest and still only focused on his revenge #fuck it it’s law alone and at his creepiest on child experimentation island! like that’s the law that luffy looks at and goes YOU <3 #this isn’t necessarily lawlu I just think they’re eternally important to each other in a very uncategorizable way.#one piece #op meta #trafalgar law #monkey d. luffy #god I talked a lot down here…. sorry guys……#lawlu

people being dramatic about "american cheese" (in quotes bc americans didn't make it) is one of my favorite topics because it's funny to see people talk about it like it's a biohazardous waste when it's literally just Cheddar That Has Been Watered Down With Milk, And Then Emulsified

#I think she (american cheese) has a fascinating reputation #so it's cheddar which is already A Cheese and milk which is what cheese is made of #sometimes they use colby cheese too it kind of depends. but it's traditionally cheddar.#and you can enjoy hours of people making comments abt american cheese being Literal Plastic #They Can't Even Legally Call It Food!!#YOU MEAN MILK?????#that's what I like most about it. when cheese is Milk That You Did Something To. and this is kind of also just milk #that has had things done to it.#but if poor people eat it then it must be poison #I get a lot of personal joy over asking people what they think american cheese is made of #and their massive disappointment when they hear it's just cheese that's been stretched w milk #like. it's so boring. it's so uninteresting. they were really hoping it would be interesting.#it's like a hobby for me to see how many comments i can prompt someone to make abt it being non-food before i do this #''it melts weird because it's PLASTICCC'' it melts like that bc of the emulsifying agent keeping the fat from splitting #basically one of my hobbies is turning an interesting thing people make jokes about into Something Boring
