Name: Dar/Danya, the second is less formal. Pronouns: it/its. Рус/eng. You can also use any pronouns if you're just gotta talk about me to someone unchill. Some people get hung up on that, I've recently found out, and so ya. Оно/его/ему (конкретно в такой конфигурации 👍)
I'm an adult, tagging is questionable on the account of my shitty memory and I don't care to keep this blog PG. Viewer discretion is advised, basically. I do hornyposting on main, beware.

A vacation after Fontaine ends with Childe getting stabbed, but that makes his new, pretty, snarky crush admit they used to be partners in a past he doesn't remember, so it's all not so bad.

sweet tooth
Dabi needs work after being legally dead and also a criminal for years. Shouto, being a good brother, asks his manager Hawks about that free spot he's been trying to fill for weeks.
The two hit it off, but not enough. Bakugo slowly loses his sanity waiting for them to kiss. Shouto loses sleep waiting for them to murder each other.
They decide to fix it. It doesn't go exactly as planned.
he interviewed tom holland and matt damon recently so i think maybe he got an agent or some kind of media representative who's been getting him really good gigs
I'm at a convention for the game of Go with a friend who is almost 84 years old, and he is constantly being accosted by elementary schoolers who want to play him because every year there is a prize for whoever plays a game with the biggest age difference between players.
"I have forgotten everything from my life before I witnessed the primacy of raw strength and decided to take it as my own. I am a living weapon and I have spent decades honing myself to become the most perfect instrument of violence and might I could possibly be. Anyways, happy birthday pal! That's a lot of presents you've got there!"
Very funny to me that Ch'en's legendary heirloom sword Chi Xiao has the brand of a Columbian weapons manufacturer stamped right on the blade. Don't lie Wei Yenwu, that thing came with a serial code and a three-year warranty
it's symbolic of wei yenwu's character! quoting @hexdrake
wei yenwu had chi xiao, the ancient artifact sword representing the yanese throne, a two-bladed jian
reforged into a one-bladed dao
by an american weapons manufacturer
there's kinda this distinction in wuxia (maybe other chinese fiction in historical settings i'm not an expert) where one-bladed swords (often translated as just "blades") are considered base and common, while two-bladed weapons ("swords") are considered weapons of nobility. so in the context it is literally wei yenwu disguising his nobility AND westernizing; two things he did when he became the Chief of Lungmen. he too was reforged by the west into a common blade, as it were.
so hey just found out there's a new AK story reader that has a near full recreation of the visual novel now? it even has all the stories in release order. but also it's like "Cons Very fragmented, will have you jumping from storyline to storyline, often with large gaps in between installments, especially in regard to the main theme. Jumps all over the timeline, forcing you to piece it together as you go"
yeah that's the POINT dinguses there's a thing called FORESHADOWING. do not read babel first goddamn.
whatever, the actual site is incredibly useful. check it out if you wanna experience AK very close to the original reading experience.
Since she's an NPC that won't get such easy focus, I think it's worth highlighting some of the elements of Jie's design.
It's a design full of vertical lines, which you won't really get to appreciate in-game. You're also going to miss the fact that her tail unfurls into sheets of paper, or the very conspicuous framing of her sturdy boots.
Though, the one thing that really reminds me that the AK designers are operating on another level is that her shirt is so dishevelled, untucked and unbuttoned, that she's wearing a whole second shirt underneath to remain covered up. That's commitment.
a child could be climbing walls frothing at the mouth and trying to bash my head in and parents will still be all How Dare You Talk To Me Like That when I lose one tenth of a curve on the customer service smile
i hate wearing a badge with my name on it. why do random ass people get access to it. why can anyone just call me it randomly just because they're a customer. that really sucks i hate it
