Copying over my comment from this post since the original now has reblogs turned off:

It's interesting to consider all of this in full context of how Toshiro is framed in the scene. The argument starts with Toshiro insisting that Marcille was wrong to revive Falin with black magic and that she should go back with him to face punishment from elvish society, then get their help in putting Falin to rest. Laios argues that they can actually help Falin, and that eating properly gives them the strength to pull it off, at which point Toshiro tries to shut Laios down by throwing his past frustrations in his face. When Laios eventually overpowers Toshiro, he attributes it to his party taking proper care of themselves, at which point Senshi shows up to offer Toshiro food. Meanwhile, Maizuru expresses frustration at Toshiro's behavior, and when Toshiro talks about his out-of-the-blue proposal to Falin, Mickbell questions why he would do something like that, while Chilchuck remarks that it's the kind of world he lives in. Every part of Toshiro's position here comes across as antithetical to the protagonists and the quest we're following them on. Even other characters present don't seem to think much of his behavior here. And, while playing that antagonistic role, we see him imposing those social standards on someone who finds them confusing and alienating. The result is that the primary lens through which the viewer is encouraged to see the scene is that of an autistic person being berated for not living up to a set of social standards, and in particular not meeting the standards of Japanese society. And while a Japanese audience might find it easier to understand why Toshiro thinks the way he does, the scene is very clear in sending the message that he is wrong and that, as previous comments noted, he's been stuck in a mindset that's hurting both him and Laios. The outcome of the fight suggests that Toshiro would benefit from learning to think more like Laios about food - and I think the audience is also meant to feel that Toshiro would benefit from learning to think more like Laios about people.

And the addition from @delvinanaris:

More than that, Toshiro’s last line of that scene—expressing his envy of Laios—suggests that he, too, feels that he would benefit from learning to think more like Laios about people.

Also here's the original tweet and a great comment on it:

Yume sleep checklist:

✅2 blankets

✅3 pillows

✅Stuffed animal

✅Idia shit talking other players in their ear.

Another part of this collage. When Yume has trouble sleeping due to bad dreams or insomnia; Idia will sometimes stay up with them. Yume is still tired, even though they can't sleep, so they just like sitting and watching Idia do something. Eventually they fall asleep again~

Often there is no more than a little plaque to reveal that, against all gynaecological probability, someone very famous was born halfway up a wall. ~ Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites (1987)

Today (28 April) would have been Terry Pratchett’s 74th birthday. The above plaque is on the wall of the Discworld Emporium.

its interesting to me how self-deprecation neatly ties into making others feel bad. like. if you constantly assume that you’re stupid no matter how informed or skilled in a topic you might be, people who are a bit less learned or skilled than you might see how you, someone who is obviously skilled, talk down about yourself, and assume that if you think YOURE an idiot you must think theyre an even bigger idiot and lose confidence or find you intimidating as a result. its fucked up. and its part of why it can be so important to break out of cycles of self-hatred–not just for yourself, but for people around you

I just want to remind everyone that is your civic duty to jailbreak your Nintendo consoles and pirate every Nintendo property until the heat death of the universe.

What would Albert or Tidus think of Finn?

(Going with the Assumption for this ask that it's Al/Tidus getting plunked into your AU/TWST-Verse, so Al isn't in a relationship with Al/Jade, we'll assume)

Albert may have a sort of Frienemy relationship with Azul, so likely he isn't going to be spending all that much time in the Monstro Lounge after Book 3 events. (He probably won't get to live down leaving a blot stain on the carpet before passing out). If he does interact with Finn, he'll of course be cordial and friendly. It might not take long for him to piece together any personal details getting to Azul via Finn, once Azul starts using that information against him. Then it's going to be simple 'corporate' talk: Nonanswers or chat with no revealing substance. Trust is a big thing for Al, and if a secret were shared with any when he's given it in confidence, then it's a good thing Finn is used to chilly temperatures with the cold shoulder he'd get.

Eyyy coworkers unite! ("N-not under a union, I didn't say that!") He'll be just as friendly, if not moreso. Tidus might have a fascination with humans, but he's never been to The Midnight Zone before, so Finn might get a bit inundated with questions. (At least until he gets the hint to stop). It would be interesting to see Finn use his UM to assume Tidus' height, even for a moment-it'll have been a good long while since he can talk to someone without craning his neck down.

I know I don’t really post ship art but I love them- Rook living in Vil’s room and is grounded there because Vil wants to look professional in front of his juniors <3 Vil’s new card is irresistible, Rook seconds that.
