This just popped up on my feed and it's surprisingly interesting! Thank you OP!
Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).
When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".
When the boat is still being built, your say "it".
When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".
When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".
When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.
If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").
If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")
If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").
If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.
If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.
I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
Right?!
I remember when Season of Moments started I gasped outloud with how breathtaking that season area looked like!!

Nintendo please 🙏🏼 make this a real game!!!!!!!!!
I had a dream that there was a new Mario and Luigi game (but it wasn’t the one coming to the switch)
Basically some group of Koopa’s with strange markings showed up to the mushroom kingdom and Kidnap Peach. Taking her to the ‘Lost Kingdom’
Mario and Luigi believe Bowser was responsible and was shocked to find out he wasn’t. But also Bowser gets kidnapped!
So Mario and Luigi teams up with Bowser Jr to rescue Peach and Bowser.
Bowser Jr. had a gimmick that he’d help traverse the kingdom with his clown cart that got upgrades as you traveled.
It’s revealed that the main villain is actually Bowser’s father’s. Who was sealed inside a crystal. Bowser never knew this.
Apparently Bowser’s dad was a real monsterous guy that even most of his supporters didn’t like him, and they worked with the previous Royal of the mushroom kingdom to seal him away. It was Kamek that helped seal him away.
Bowser’s Dad, Towzer was planning on using Peach’s power to break his seal and then take over his Son’s body.
The whole story was giving talks about fatherhood and family. It was actually really endearing.
Towzer actually does get free but Bowser resists being controlled… until he says he will go after his son. Then he capitulates.
Towzer transforms bowser to look more like Giga bowser. It’s actually really cool.
Mario, Luigi and Bowser Junior beat up Towzer and free him from Bowser… and becomes a gigantic monster.
Thus we get the Bowser Junior giant mech battle. With bowser helping in the fight.
Towzer gets defeated for good.
Bowser talks with Kamek about his father, saying he understood why Kamek never told him about him.
“He was actually really pathetic. Using Me to try and live longer. If he was so weak to be sealed away he isn’t worth crying over. I’d never leave my son alone.”
And it was a really sweet end to the story with Peach making them all a cake. Which Bowser gets to taste.
But then he tries to kidnap peach again and the cycle starts again. But Bowser Junior thanks the Mario brothers for their help and that today he won’t help his dad. But next time, he will.”
This!
Going back to an earlier reblog--I think the thing that drags me into ace attorney so badly is the overwhelming amount of love and potential that is spilling out of the whole series. there's so much. phoenix and miles. phoenix and maya. mia and maya. miles and franziska. maya and pearl. phoenix and trucy. trucy and apollo. apollo and klav. miles and kay. ryunosuke and susato and kazuma. holmes and iris. iris and gina. and there's plenty i've left out bc i'm just hitting a bunch of the ones off the top of my head. so many families just like. sharing their mundane highs and traumatic lows and caring for each other and healing in all their various ways. i don't know. i love it so much i can hardly stand it
