GUYS I CAN'T HE'S SO CUTE HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S RELUCTANTLY OFFERING HIMSELF UP FOR A HUG AHHHHHHH
I love the dynamic that France and America have.
France is kind of like a semi-overbearing parental figure who indulges America. He's a child in France's eyes. When he hangs out with America, he's always a little overwhelmed by how energetic and brash he is, but he still tries to have a good time while also attempting to "mentor" him. America on the other hand appreciates France and his gestures. He subconsciously wants a father figure, but he sees France more as a mature friend who always has his back.
Okay, I know this is from the magical strike au, but I think it describes their dynamic really well. France puts SO much thought into his relationship with America. He's worrying about coming off as an old man trying to be hip, thinking he'll end up babysitting and cleaning up messes, and just generally weighing the pros and cons to attending.
Meanwhile, America is literally just like "hey dude, wanna play Minecraft?"
Parents think it's a sin for their children to disobey them. Parents think it's okay to assault their children in order to instill the fear of God in them.
Those parents are prime examples of using the lord's name in vain. But they don't want their children to know that. So they instead invent some bullshit definition.
there should be more options than suffering via employment and suffering via unemployment
I went on an adventure today to return a pillow to IKEA with my coworker Astrid.
We were having a nice day and got stuck in traffic coming home. On the way her phone rang and she was driving so she declined the call with a sigh. “I feel so bad for him,” she said.
“You know that number?”
She did. It turns out her phone number had previously belonged to a woman named Serena. The man calling was her dad. He had Alzheimer’s and didn’t remember his daughter was dead, so he just called the number he knew was hers.
I was stricken to hear this. “Do you talk to him?”
“Yeah. Sometimes he thinks I’m her and we talk. I have a notebook with facts I’ve learned about her so I can connect with him better. Sometimes he knows I’m not her and I say I’m her friend.”
I struggled with the beauty and humanity of this for a moment. “What’s his name?”
“I don’t know; I just call him Dad.”
We sat in silence and I was overwhelmed with feelings. That she was so kind and thoughtful about this random connection. A man who called and spoke to her with love for the daughter he missed.
"One time," she added, "he called me just after I had a difficult day with my mom. I knew Serena and her mom had a rocky relationship so I talked to him about my frustrations with my own mother and he gave the following advice: ‘Everyone fails sometimes, even parents; what's important is to communicate with our loved ones, even when it's difficult.’
“I have never forgotten that advice and it healed a portion of my heart."
As Elon Musk cements his place in history as a fascist tech overlord and the rest of the world looks at us in horror, I really do want to reiterate what I feel will be lost to the history books
Nearly everyone in america has thought and continues to think that Elon is very cringe.
sometimes i forget wizardposting isn’t a regular occurrence on any other website. what do you mean your posts don’t randomly get taken over my evil wizards casting spells on your peunis
So like an hour ago I just lear🪨︵︵ned that— what the fuck was that. Someone just skipped a rock across my post did you see that
Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.
isabelle i literally have no idea what you’re talking about
I think Dead by Daylight should add a new killer that is literally just a normal regular gorilla. I think adding a gorilla would be a perfect addition to dbd. You shouldn't even have to hook survivors as the gorilla, its whole thing should be that if the survivors look the gorilla directly in the eye you get to instantly beat the shit out of them until they die
I cannot stress enough that it cannot be a monster gorilla in any way. No understandable dialogue, No like nasty flesh monster bits, its head doesn't split open into a big mouth like a Venus Flytrap, like that's cool but you can save that for the other killers. I need this new killer to be an entirely normal regular gorilla that just kind of showed up one day and doesn't interact with the primary gameplay loop at all
Do you see my vision
i truly cannot stress how much of a fucking freak ghost is. he is a fucking weirdo. he is so fucking strange. mask? always on. 90% of cutscenes are happening and the man looming in the back, staring off into the middle distance. he speaks a max of, like, six words per interaction. he does not make eye contact or — worse — he makes extremely prolonged eye contact. he is a fucking freak. he is a deranged weirdo. i know we like to gas him up and make him all hot n horny but he is a fucking freak and it's time we start championing him as such
During an intense art block I took a stab at a couple of canon characters from crk!
cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them
cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.
cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,
"A while ago, the headmage warned me not to keep too many gargoyles because the floors might cave in... But in my opinion, the actual problem here is the durability of the floors. I hardly think I deserve to be reproached."
"There were a lot of gargoyles around the campus that needed repairing. It was a lot of work to carry each of those back to my (club?)room to do repair work on them but... He told me he didn't even ask me to do that. What a rude man."
????????? 😭😭😭 Even with such a bratty nonsense attitude he's so cute?! And isn't their interaction kinda like a dad telling off his son?!
pizza puffs is so important to me personally. a true microcosm of raph's struggles
Some cute Malleus facts from the Pajama Bday vignette:
He loiters everywhere but thinks Ramshackle really is unmatched. He's a bit disappointed he can't go there in the dead of night.
He reviews the day's lessons every night.
He talks to his gargoyles lmfao
The dragon statue in his room is a gargoyle of his own creation and is his masterpiece.
He lights up an incense that smells like the forest and makes him feel like he's back home.
He goes around the school to take gargoyles back to his clubroom to do repair work on them for free.
He writes in the school feedback that they should reinforce the floors strong enough to withstand 50 gargoyles.
It's hard for him to wake up in the morning because he's a nocturnal fae.
He has a very efficient morning routine because he uses magic to do everything at the same time, but he loses track of time when he has to choose what color he wants his makeup to be.
Although black is his preferred color because it's Briar Valley's symbol of nobility, he doesn't shy away at the idea of using red lipstick because the Thorn Fairy prefers that for herself, or violet just to be different.
He yawns loudly, but worries that his grandmother would scold him if he lets himself be seen in that kind of state.
Generally, the confirmation we got really is that he's not just "a natural" where everything just goes perfectly for him. He puts great effort behind the scenes, not just in his hobbies but also in academics and his appearance as well.
This really did a lot to present him to us as someone relatable and works hard behind his perfect persona!
YOU MOTHER HUBBARD.
dream exclusively referring to tubbo as "tommys best friend" and calling him tommy SIX TIMES on stream ohhhhh he's never beating the "doesn't see tubbo as an individual" allegations
this is truly the funniest timeline
I loved this post just because all the comments flipped between sincere appreciation and mockery of the birds
Felt like saying it here as well
it’s very levelheaded and honestly so respectable of tommy’s response to be so calm. and for him to end it with encouraging dream to get help and telling him that he doesn’t always have to keep doing things like this/being like this, when everything dream was throwing out there at him and accusing him of i wouldn’t have blamed him for responding 10x more aggressively to. dream was painting him as this legitimate villain that had orchestrated every single bad thing in his life, and holding vague blackmail over his friends heads, and he just departed with nice advice. if that doesn’t tell you everything abt what’s going on here idk what will
