Kid learned fast that if he didn't feed Liz and Patty they just wouldn't eat

"liz and patty do the cooking-" liz and patty had sleep and nicotine for dinner. KID was up at 5 AM making breakfast burritos and getting the crockpot set up to run while they're at school

You’re standing at the altar, about to get married to your beautiful fiancée. When suddenly the king of demons bursts through the door of the room, which naturally causes panic. You tried to warn everyone that inviting your sibling to the wedding would mean trouble, but they kept insisting.

Honestly what makes Stein a good execution of the mentally unwell mad scientist trope is that unlike your Rick Sanchez types who would scoff and debunk a cheerful character's optimistic worldview as cringe and naive he actually enjoys their presence and values that quality in other people

like he's realistic and acts as a voice of reason but doesnt revel in dashing anyone's hopes and dreams (unless it's spirit but that's just what they do to each other, and even then it's mostly taking the piss and not too serious)

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

y’all ever think abt how death the kid is like,,,, the character. ever. he’s a skateboarding emo teenager. he’s the literal son of death himself. he cries over being yelled at. he brought down an entire pyramid. he was showing off his sick skateboarding tricks because of a wicked hill in a desert and responded to someone saying he shouldn’t be showing off by replying, “look, another one. this one’s a no hander!” he loves his friends dearly and would do anything for them. he kicked a puppy because its eyelashes weren’t symmetrical.

It's here, I got like three chapters up

I'm writing a kid and asura brothers fic with a touch of kishin!vajra, and giving everyone daddy issues as i go bout it. would anyone be willing to beta read it for me?

I think now that queens dead they should have her stuffed and put on display in Cairo for the next 150 years.

Reblog to give the person you reblogged from the ability to finish their WIPs

Lord death: answers the phone

Asusra, holding kid by the scruff like a kitten: it's 10 pm. Do you know where your children are?

Is this headcanon relevant to the plot? Is it filler info that I don't need to add?

Maybe, but Im gonna add it anyway and make it relevant to the plot later.

okay, fuck it, i seem to have headcanon for “Old Iron”

Obviously, the inspector is a badass adrenaline junkie who instantly and quite matter-of-factly decided to go lasso a runaway locomotive… but I’m imagining him running up to a bunch of crewmembers on their break and asking who would volunteer their engine and their own fragile, fleshy limbs to join him. 

And every man just blanches in disbelief, because no one signed on for such Indiana Jones bullshit. This is circa 1960, not 1860, and they plan on drawing their pensions, y’know? 

(This is one of my headcanons that works even better with non-sentient engines. Because there might be an impulse to risk one’s life to save a sentient being, although honestly even in the actual canon it’s James, one of the most unpleasant jerks around, so I think the inspector still wasn’t beating off volunteers with a stick.)

However, even before the inspector can hector them and shout that there is not a second to lose, ol’ Charlie Sand speaks up with preternatural calm: “Yeah, we’ll do it. Come along, Sid.” 

Everyone else (sans inspector): !!??!? 

And Sand spares a moment to turn back around. He is normally a sociable and easygoing kind of fellow, and no one was prepared for the dark quality to his smile. “I’ve heard what they’ve been saying about my engine. I’ll be goddamned if I lose this chance.”

I spend all day at work thinking about this.

What's tha name of the religion in Soul Eater?? What's the religious scene in general? Lord death is like... God, and a number of religious depictions revering him look like they're a rebrand of western Christianity and Catholicism. What would that religion be called? Deathism? Morbidity?? ALSO, there are religious images that look like they revere the Kishin in place of their god--so like, Kishinites or something, right??

normal about this relationship, btw,

soul eater AU where everything is the exact same but stein has a dab pen

This was basically the last episode of Soul Eater… 

Hey guys, what if the DWMA is filled with so much autistic people that the whole school is a autism program at this point. I’m telling y’all that everyone in that show is autistic, I’m not the boss.

when you spend too much time fighting clankers

*on the Negotiator*

Obi-Wan : Cody, meet me at 1300 hours we need to to discuss the next campaign

Cody, distracted, working on flimsiwork : Roger roger

Obi -Wan : What?

Cody : What?

Obi-wan: how have you avoided the inquisitors all this time?

Quinlan Vos: when they look up my name the first thing that pops up is the time I got arrested at an empire day parade for flashing an admiral for beads. It's usually enough to convince them I'm not a jedi.

Just wanted to clear this thing up

Friendly reminder that if I haven’t answered your ask the same day, it means either: 

I want to treasure that ask forever

I dont feel up to social interaction

I didnt have time, and ended up forgetting about it

What it does NOT mean:

I dont like getting asks

You’re bothering me by sending asks

SAME APPLIES FOR UNANSWERED TAG GAMES!

oh home, let me come home, home is wherever I’m with you

Obi-Wan Kenobi Spoilers

I can't believe Qui-Gon Jinn spent the 23 years after his death being one with the Force and learning enough to manifest himself as a Force ghost, only to find out that every time he shows up when Obi-Wan is literally calling out to him for guidance his bum ass padawan can't even see him

Like I'm just imagining Obi-Wan close to tears, angstily crying out to his Master while Qui-Gon is standing right next to him looking like this

The tragic irony of Dr. Strange is that anyone of the procedures he undertook to fix his hands could have worked, if he was the one operating.

Idc If anyone else does but I'm certainly going to!!!

Petition to celebrate edward day (February the second) on February 22nd this year as to celebrate our favorite number 2 enginen on The Twos day.

Edwards exploit?

Man, what is there to say about this one that hasn’t already been said?

I mean, one day some jamoke is gonna make a video saying that they don’t actually like this episode and that it’s lame, and a big user is going to foolishly give it exposure via bitching about it on Twitter, and the fandom will go up in flames (like, more so than the usual blowup). But me? Nah, even I’m not that contrarian.

Besides, I love it. It makes me happy, though perhaps for odd little bits that aren’t meant in any way to be the focus of the episode. Stuff like

Duck and BoCo’s angry faces

the shot of Edward with Bill and Ben

the shot right before the storm breaks out where Edward goes under the bridge—the curvature of the track there is absurd, but screw realism, it makes the train look so sinuous and pleasing

the sheer blackness of the night in the final scene or two with the brilliant white lights

Also the shot of the train on its way again during the “and he listened happily to Edward’s steady beat, as he forged slowly but surely ahead” line, it’s just such a thoroughly pleasing little bit—I keep meaning to make a good gif of it some day because visually those two seconds are definitely among some of the most comforting in film history. Why must Edward be so friend-shaped. I’m asking really.

Caption 1: seriously, this one bit of track curves right-left-right-left three times, WHY

Caption 2: "Okay, David, catch me at my good angle! 😇"

Yes, everyone who’s been in the fandom for six months probably already knows the “inaccuracies” in the adaptation, but I’m not too hung up on them. Like it’s very cool that we have so many Trainz adaptations and Exploit!models where people literally destroy their overpriced 2Ps for the accuracy?? and I’m grateful and I’m satisfied with this fan content supplementing the episode. Besides, when I was a kid we only had select episodes from S1-3 on VHS, and man, stuff like Thomas’s bent front and Edward’s siderods taken off—that was honestly pretty metal for us. The Flying Kipper crash was obviously more serious, but as far as, like, “special effects” went? It was these two episodes that brought the macabre fascination, due to the visible damage. I can remember parents commenting on those two details too, in fact I think they brought it to our attention. Like wtf, they broke the toys! Wild! (Then we got into some Season 4 stuff and were spoiled for these more innocent days, lol. Peter Sam’s and Thomas’s head-on collisions took the damage portrayed on screen to a whole new level.)

Also, as I’ve mentioned before, while there are several sentences in the original text that I wish the adaptation retained (Edward being so thrilled when he gets the train moving that his wheels start to slip all over again, omg—my boy!), there are also a couple of cuts I agree with actually. I prefer the happy quietude of some of the moments in the end of the adaptation to the “cheers to the echo” of RWS.

Bertie’s little bit at the beginning is pleasant enough but also unnecessary, especially when you consider that this obligatory-cameo-to-meet-a-quota-of-Bertie-appearances-this-season replaces this immortal RWS opener:

Edward scolded the twins severely, but told Gordon it served him right. Gordon was furious.

Like, I am in no way excusing Gordon, but I do think this exchange is interesting context for the following scene. As in I don’t think Gordon really believes what he’s saying; when he’s piqued he sees everything in the most negative light; when he’s in a good mood all the sudden it’s “my dear Edward” and all that. Gordon said it himself to Sir Handel—he has a lot of feeeeeeeelings. Nobody understands that. ;)

Another small detail in this notorious scene that I think gets overlooked is Duck saying “You’re all jealous!” For one thing, I think he means they’re jealous that Edward got this job; the comment implies one of those standard tiresome arguments in the preceding week about who would get the enthusiasts’ train and then who should get the enthusiasts’ train. And I dunno, the thought amuses me. Perhaps because a few hours later in the storm Edward is audibly thinking that the whole gig was entirely overrated. (I feel like next time this sort of thing came up Edward would’ve been all like, “BoCo, do you want it? We don’t want a repeat of last time.” And BoCo’s all *affectionate eyeroll* “No one goes to the island of Sodor for a diesel-hauled railtour, Edward.”)

Now, for all I’ve overanalyzed the effect of the opening “station scene” and how the changes affect how people read the character dynamics, I must still give the TV adaptation major props—their changes make this scene far more interesting and just generally watchable. I mean, though I do enjoy the realistic sidings of the RWS illustration, the TVS blocking of the "action" here is iconic:

Plus omg, the drama of it all, I think the dynamic there of everyone talking about Edward while he’s just struggling to get that train started is a fascinating hook. (Certainly the writers of the show never got over this dynamic!) And, I have to admit, although it changes the characterizations a little, it’s not any huge stretch to have Gordon, Henry, and James be that shameless. It doesn’t distort the reality of RWS canon the way that Season 5 and beyond… *waves hand helplessly in the general direction of the mess*

However, and I wondered this even as a kid before I’d read any RWS, but in that scene why doesn’t Duck give the train a push to start? He’s Thomas and Percy’s successor at this point, so isn’t it part of his job? Always bugged me a bit, but then again these days I am amused to rationalize this and to imagine that Duck considers preventing the big three from bullying others to be among his duties, and in fact sometimes he gets so into it that he forgets some of the more bread-and-butter things. Yes, his old mates on the Great Western might be appalled at his new priorities, but then they didn’t have Gordon Henry and James to deal with, now did they??

Right, so like half of this post is now about the station scene... but honestly that’s fair. It’s worth saying again: The adaptation did a really good job with that. They take some pretty below-average obligatory set-the-stage RWS dialogue and somehow turn it into quite a memorable little scene. *tips hat respectfully*

Cryptic old man

Hot hot hot hot chocolate

HEY WE GOT IT

it’s time to yell at Discord before they help destroy the planet

Discord’s CEO is on twitter hinting about their apparent future involvement with NFTs/crypto.

In case you aren’t already aware, cryptocurrency is digital currency that sucks because it consumes an absurd amount of energy and computer parts, and NFTs are a way of creating false scarcity for digital items, which are bought and sold with crypto currency, and also suck. Here is an article about why that shit sucks. The article has additional information. Here is a twitter account that also documents NFT thefts & scams (NFTs are often stolen art sold without permission).

HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO ASAP:

1. CANCEL NITRO. Don’t wait around for them to reverse course or apologize. Cancel it now, choose “other” when it asks why you’re canceling and write in your answer. They need to see the financial backlash right now. You can always re-sub if they backpedal, but right now they need the impetus to do the backpedaling.

2. GO HERE to their feedback forum. make a thread and tell them you cancelled nitro and don’t want them involved with crypto garbage. contribute to other threads if you see one that piques your interest. EXTRA CREDIT: downvote this thread, boo them, downvote the crypto dingdongs in the comments.

3. If you have twitter, tweet at them. tweet at @discord and reply to Jason’s tweet with whatever dunking and booing you feel like.

4. PASS IT AROUND. Tell your friends with nitro. Tell your favorite group chats and servers. Encourage them to do the same.

This is one of those situations where we need massive and decisive backlash RIGHT NOW to nip it in the bud. Your input really does matter right now. Shouting down shit like this has gotten even companies like Patreon to reverse course on bad decisions. Even the stupidest tech bros do respond to enough screaming. So SCREAM. Remind them where their real money comes from, and scare them away from the planet-destroying fake money.
