Shang qinghua writes a really good paragraph about a wife's mental state and then shakes his head and replaces it with descriptions of her breasts and several books fly off his bookcase and hit him on the head

"Um," said the fairy. "Choose something else."

Rosamund hesitated. It was, she had to admit, the first time she had ever been given a wish, so she wasn't an expert with this sort of thing, but she felt that this was not part of the typical script. "Sorry," she said. "Is that not allowed?"

The fairy grimaced. When it spoke, its voice came out pained and stressed. "Y-y-y-e-e-e-no," it sighed at last, dragonfly wings sagging. "No, technically no, it's not not allowed, but-" It suddenly brightened. "How about gold? Can't go wrong with gold. Gold's a good wish."

Rosamund frowned. This was really not going the way she expected at all. "Excuse me-"

"Beauty, that's a good one too, beauty's always popular," it went on. "And if there's a ball nearby tonight I can probably-"

"Excuse me!"

The wand was twiddled in chitinous fingers. "Right," the fairy said, sounding scolded. "Sorry, it's just..." Its voice trailed off.

Her grandmother's clock chimed midnight from the mantelpiece.

Then - "I'm sorry," it said, not daring to look up, "I know it's not fair, but - you know what I am. You know what we do to wishes. If you wished for wealth I'd have to turn your hair into silver, so you’d have to tear every strand out of your head before you could spend it. We can't help it. It's what we do. The cost of a wish is that you get what you want, but you don't get it the easy way.

"So if you wish for a child, it'll be - strange. Twisted, somehow. Made of pine or marzipan or have the head of a hedgehog. That's the cost of a wish-child; you'll get the child you wished for, but it'll never be - right."

Rosamund waited to see if there was anything else. She felt a sting to her pride when she realized there wasn't. "Is that all?" she said. "I wouldn't care what I got-"

"You all say that," the fairy said. "You all say you wouldn't care what you got. You all say it, and you really believe it, until the neighbours sneer at you and your hedgehog child for too long, or your back aches because your thumb-high child can't help you in the fields, or your pine child kicks and bites and won't obey, and then you think, 'This isn't the way it was supposed to be,' and then..."

The fairy stopped and looked into Rosamund’s eyes. It was a beautiful thing, all glittering carapace and iridescent wings, but just for an instant it looked terribly, terribly old.

"I'm sorry," it said. "But I'm tired of making unloved children."

[caffeinewitchcraft]

That hit my hurt like a freight train, what an amazing perspective

Of course now I want Rosamund, realizing that there are already children out in the world ready tk be loved, to go out on a quest to find them and makes the fairy come along with her as a guide by refusing to change her wish unless they help her find them all. And then at the end, after she has gathered all her wonderful and unique and, yes, strange children, she wishes for a big house they can all live in

And the fae grants it with a twist - they may all live there but the fae will live alongside them and the house will always be little strange with expanding rooms and extra seats at the table for uninvited guests who almost always become one of Rosamund's children too

[homunculus-argument]

A grand fantasy city-state that has developed a consistent, uniform system of "best by"-dates, not just for food safety reasons and to reduce food waste, but to also significantly reduce crime and conflict between residents. The matter at hand is goblins.

Goblin residents of the city are legal citizens with equal rights just the same as everyone else, but their natural lifestyle differs dramatically from the rest of the peoples living in the city. They are scavengers by nature, having no problems with eating carrion, overripe fruits and plants, and building everything they own from things that other races throw away as junk and trash. As the city produces plenty of waste that goblins would love to take and the city is glad to be rid of, any well-organised city is not just a paradise for goblins, but welcomes them with open arms. They save the city a fortune in waste disposal costs.

Problems mainly arise by differing ideas of what counts as "discarded". Goblins are unfairly labelled as thieves, when they are merely opportunistic and optimistic by nature, and will interpret any unclear situation to their own benefit, and will argue "how was I supposed to know that you still wanted it?" over things that looked lovely and were left unattended. And while yoinked items of clothing and other tools are easily returned or financially reimbursed (paying for what they already took is the only use that goblins have for money, which they do not steal), but foodstuff is gone faster than you can blink.

So, the city needed to determine laws for how to define and clearly label when consumable goods are no longer fit to most peoples' consumption, both to help people keep track on how old their groceries are, and also to mark them for goblins. So even though the food that's past the date on it can still be good to eat, it might also be gone by the next time you reach for it.

WHEN I GET YOU RY WHEN I GET YOUUUUUUU

Most recent chapter was heart wrenching and im defo drawing for it, but I finally finished this animatic of "Great Decisions'" Chapter 89's flashback. I LOVED the descriptions for it so felt inclined to make an animatic for it.

your girl wants to make more animatics to songs too so lets see how the motivation goes for THAT one cause this killed me

[rydoesartandstuff]

This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I love everything about it, the expressions, the subtle movement AHHH I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! You have SUCH skill, I’m dying, and ILOVE THIS SCENE-

…I’ll stop. But just know I’m over here grinning like an idiot as I watch this over and over again😂

Glad you liked the new chapter😉

I think it would be funny if most of Grace's eridian students went to him and asked for earth pronoun designations instead of picking for themselves, because they think it's cool to get word-gifts from the coolest teacher in the galaxy

and grace is trying so hard to not accidentally be sexist or assign gender roles to a monogendered species, so like, trying hard not to call someone he/him just because they like sports, or she/her just because they seem caring, or whatever. and he's having a hard time about it because he's like oh man why am I assigning the pronouns I'm assigning, i hope I'm not bringing any of my biases into this. just absolutely eating himself up over it

he tries to fix this by starting to roll a die, or throw darts at a dartboard, but his students immediately throw a fit because the point of the word-gifts is that they are specific, picked deliberately for them, right? and grace tries to explain gender bias and so on, but it becomes clear these kids could genuinely not give less of a shit, they just want to know what their AGAG (assigned gender at grace) is, alright? why is this so hard for him to understand??

eventually grace comes to the conclusion that he's on a different planet, and severely overthinking this, and that his kids really just are having fun--they really don't see the grace-given pronouns as categorization, he figures they see them as something more akin to astrology. or an eridian tiktok trend. when grace learns they call the assigning a word-gift he probably cries tbh

"teacher grace!!! what my pronoun question???"

"hmm. getting big they/them vibes off you"

"HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. THANK"

Pokemon has never had a generation where all three starter pokemon are mammals. Two generations- gens 1 and 3- have had zero mammals, and from gens 5-8 there've been two mammals to pick from, but none have had three mammals. I think this is an important part of the franchise's brand.

[strawberry-crocodile]

Back when gen 8 got leaked someone pointed out that you can generally tell a real GameFreak Pokedex from a fakemon dex by the amount of "ugly" pokemon and the number of invertebrates and inanimate objects, and I think there's a similar thing going on here- Pokemon genuinely makes an effort to make its monsters varied.

The last 15ish years have seen so much ink spilled on the Vanillish line, on gen 1 designs, etc etc, but I think it bears repeating how easy it is for a Mons game to stick to charismatic animals like mammals and birds and dinosaurs and pets. And pokemon does have that (we have, what, six cat lines? more if you count regional meowths) but it also makes sure to add, like. A crinoid. A bagworm. A bell. Creepy humanoid mushrooms, a sand castle, a big iceberg.

Something would be lost if every single pokemon was as cool as Haxorus or as cute as Snom or as furrybait as Goodra. Pokemon succeeds because it lets you be best friends with shit that's just weird.

[strawberry-crocodile]

"ohhh op is telling on herself for calling goodra furrybait" idk maybe you're telling on yourself for how you have no furry friends. do better.

I love how WHA Kitchen loves showing the parenting mistakes and tactics Olruggio and Qifrey go through while raising their witchlets

Qifrey having to BOLT down the stairs when he realized he left a full bottle of very pretty alcohol on the dining table with 4 very curious girls

Olruggio safety standing at a distance watching and letting the girls use the fire spell to cook for themselves

Both of them brainstorming how to discreetly get their girls to expand their food palette and also eat their veggies

Having to rush to the aid of their kids when they realize a little too late they did not completely explain the tools that they are using

Making the food into fun and cute shapes like in children’s lunch boxes

It means everything to me

“When I was young, women were raped on the campus of a great university and the authorities responded by telling all the women students not to go out alone after dark or not to be out at all. Get in the house. (For women, confinement is always waiting to envelope you.) Some pranksters put up a poster announcing another remedy, that all men be excluded from campus after dark. It was an equally logical solution, but men were shocked at being asked to disappear, to lose their freedom to move and participate, all because of the violence of one man.”

…Wow…it’s sad how much this blew my mind. Brilliant.

[larkpepper]

I like to imagine that Agott didnt actually seek out Qifrey to be his apprentice, she wanted Olruggio. I can just see her, rejected by her family, viewing Olly - who was the very definition of a child prodigy - as what she wanted to become and thinking that maybe with talent like his she would never have been abandoned.

Instead, Olruggio never took his fifth test, so he guided her to someone very close to him who he knew was wanting to take on an apprentice and who he knew had so much love to give a suffering child.

thoughts on their hairstyle

[chubs-deuce]

I wanted to make an Adrian design, both in general and for my AU lmao

some headcanons and AU context under the cut:

Adrian is a little bit older than Rocky

where he's temperamental and extroverted, they're a soothing balm of a personality. Calm, patient and very good at rubberducking others with their emotional problems

they're more quiet and get very stuck in their own mind sometimes - also hyperfixate on things and kinda need to be dragged out of a project by force on occasion. Their quietness tends to intimidate those that don't know them very well, but they're pretty much happy to just sit and listen. Rocky was always the more social one for both of them.

they're passionate about studying erid's different biomes, so they very easily hit it off with Grace, who's more than happy to learn more about the climates and lifeforms on erid AND can infodump about the interesting differences on earth in return

After Grace and Rocky leave Erid for their ambassador trip, eridian scientists keep testing with the stem cell cloning and gene editing tech they used to make Rocky's body, and also work on improving the consciousness transfer times... and Adrian, who's both very curious about earth and humans and wanting to maybe tag along with Rocky and Grace the next time a trip like this is being done, volunteers as test subject.

Between Adrian being the lead manager of the biodome team (so doing this would allow hands on research on earth) *and* being the ambassador's mate, it's seen as only sensible.
