"omg Zuko looks so much like Jinshi as an adult, he could totally be—" WRONG. Zuko would not be Jinshi in a Apothecary Diaries AU... It would be Aang.
You may say he's bald. I'll retort with the fact that he is canonically a bit of a flirt, that he is charming, knows how to talk to people, has a big destiny over his shoulders that he does not want (very important the does not want) and also that he is a bit effeminate apparently.
Zuko is not Jinshi. If anything he's Shisui or Suilei (in terms of roles) or Basen (in terms of personality). Your Maomao can be anyone I don't care.

Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodat
"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse," wrote Corey Quinn, a software-startup founder in San Francisco, on X.
Employers could wind up in court if they outright dismiss workers who request a faith-based exemption from using AI, said Ashley Herd, a former McKinsey counsel and head of North American HR who now advises managers and employers on workplace issues.
"Playing priest, and telling employees their request isn't legitimate, does not tend to bode well for companies," said Herd, also a cohost of the "HR Besties" podcast. "A jury doesn't like it when employees get made fun of by managers or HR."
VS Shows Recap: May 2026
Death Battle
Felonius Gru vs Megamind (Despicable Me vs Megamind)
Release Date: 3rd of May
Link: https://youtu.be/_7FCmmFi8VU
Mini-review: The analyses were really underwhelming from a vs perspective, mentioning very few of their weaponry and providing exactly 1 feat (which didn’t even get brought up again, so why calc it?) The fight was a bit rough around the edges, but there were nice moments to it like the Megamind brainbot mech. But that conclusion… What even was that conclusion… Both sides got downplayed hard, a huge amount of their arsenal either wasn’t even brought up or brushed off (including some surprisingly basic things), and there was a wide variety of just straight up flawed arguments littered throughout. Definitely the worst episode this year so far, and the first outright middling episode.
Nexus Battles
Kyogre vs Chaos (Pokemon vs Sonic the Hedgehog)
Release Date: 3rd of May
Link: https://youtu.be/aIcrXfR1j14
Mini-review: 2 new voices thrown in alongside the previous ones. The previous issues regarding audio clarity are still there with the old voices, but of the new voices one has a pronounced echo effect that makes it hard to hear, and the other… Sounds like AI but is actually clearly audible - I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether that’s an upgrade or a downgrade. I will say they probably could have given the loser some more scaling if for no other reason than to make the debate a little closer than it was. The actual fight, if you can get past the extremely low budget, was pretty nice, and Angel Island being used was a nice set piece to avoid making the fight arena nothing but a static ocean. I will say I find some ability inclusions/exclusions a bit questionable, but overall I do agree with the provided kits.
What If?
Clover vs Jack Kennedy (Undertale Yellow vs Dayshift at Freddy’s)
Release Date: 16th of May
Link: https://youtu.be/U-pCc6Z2MPY
Mini-review: Clover’s analysis did a good job delving into the story of Undertale Yellow, and the different options presented by the different choices. Jack’s analysis… did a good job at presenting the insanity of this parody game, which led to a feeling of whiplash in the transition (and left me missing the fact that there even were multiple routes until the conclusion. The fight sequence had nice moments and gags mixed in, but when it resorted to text on screen the text moved by a little too quickly to read without pausing (and I tend to be a fast reader, so I imagine it’s a bigger problem for others) - I know these are a result of not having the time/budget for full fight animations, but if you’re gonna include them I’d rather they last a little bit longer to minimise the impact on the pacing.
That all being said, their rules about how they do scaling seem odd, and it shows in the conclusion when they routinely dismiss feats for being outliers, which just isn’t something I’m a fan of, it’s always a route that can lead to unnecessary subjectivity (in a hobby that’s inherently subjective, I know…), and in this case suggesting Clover is stronger by all monsters by virtue of being a human is a direct violation of rule 6 (which I only mention because it’s not going to change the result).
Lastly, I’m a bit confused on why Flowey and Afton were even in the analyses nor animation, since they seemed like non-factors in terms of the fight itself?
Fan Battle
Lusamine vs Ragyō Kiryūin (Pokemon vs Kill La Kill)
Release Date: 17th of May
Link: https://youtu.be/fuktq3AtgkM
Mini-review: I was hopeful they’d be switching to full animations after Superman vs Scarlet King, but we’re back to the text on-screen while characters speak dialogue, oh well. This episode is fine for the most part, but some parts of the conclusion left me… really confused, in ways I can’t get into without spoiling the winner.
Showoff Showdown
Rottytops vs Janey Belle (Shantae: Half-Genie Hero vs Zombie Tramp)
Release Date: 23rd of May
Link: https://youtu.be/Yh8SmSkOYwM
Mini-review: Hopefully this’ll get fixed in a re-upload, but the audio for the announcer voice was in the left audio channel only for 90% of the video, which made it difficult to focus on what was said. Besides that, the episode seemed fine, the animation was a neat sprite battle, but it felt very static on account of neither side really taking any damage until the end and the environment being one static background with no changes. The debate aspect seemed fine, though it would sometimes dig into questionable arguments to support the character deemed the loser.
Realm of Gods
Kazuya vs Wesker (Tekken vs Resident Evil)
Release Date: 29th of May
Link: https://youtu.be/zaF5Apl2aak
Mini-review: The analyses were pretty good, giving a solid idea of what these characters are like from an outsider perspective, though I do feel like they could’ve brought up more calculations for feats, especially speed. The battle was pretty neat, but it feels like it’s missing a final phase for True Devil Kazuya vs, uh, “more infected” Albert Wesker. But the conclusion feels really weird, starting with a skill category and then giving an intelligence category that doesn’t really talk about Albert’s in-battle intelligence (especially weird after just going over skill). Then lastly talking about Devil Gene vs Ouroboros virus as a category but it’s actually a skill category, which fails to really point out one kind of important detail that I can’t bring up without spoiling the winner. It’s not outright bad, the overall arguments make sense, but it is rather weird.
Nexus Battles
Dexter vs Jimmy Neutron (Dexter’s Laboratory vs Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius)
Release Date: 30th of May
Link: https://youtu.be/eQszdm3xYZI
Mini-review: So the repeating issue about having the cohost voice filters that are inaudible? That’s been partially fixed, the main voice is still hard to make out, but the other voice that was even harder has been swapped out with a new character who has a much clearer voice. So that alone already makes this a lot better of a watch (since you kind of really want to hear what’s being said for vs stuff).
As for the episode itself… Yeah it’s pretty good with the budget in mind. The fight has enough creative tools to feel like they’re inventors using invention while still escalating in scope. The conclusion seems wrong at first, not helped by the category system really not favouring this matchup, but as they get their point out the more sense it winds up making.
Death Battle
Yuji vs Denji (Jujutsu Kaisen vs Chainsaw Man)
Release Date: 31st of May
Link: https://www.youtu.be/S4my56JWZJE
Mini-review: The analyses were pretty good this time, giving a clear idea of their characters, abilities, and statistics while still keeping the whole thing feel focused. The fight, too, was pretty fun, with wild kinetic energy and some great jokes that felt like the characters the analyses built them up as. Conclusion was also mostly well done, though there are some complaints I wouldn’t say any of them change the verdict - helps that this is an episode where the category system works out well for.

saying that native americans are 'yankees' and privileged more than they're oppressed and benefit from american imperialism (absolutely batshit insane take) is fine. but if you ever bring up the fact that she's a white french woman then you're evil and transmisogynistic and literally powerjacketing transfems
Yankees refers to all Americans. Why would it be wrong to use that word on them. Articulate your response. American citizens of all ethnicities occupy the exact same position in relation to the global periphery. Your dollar costs more than their ruble, you drive on their gas, you eat their tropical fruit, and you pay taxes to your military.
All of that is imperial privilege. It doesn't matter how much your life sucks or how poor you are compared to other American citizens.
You are a citizen with equal rights within the American nation. That is all qualification needed.
And the same goes to french, i don't think she would deny it.
native americans are not american citizens. as, they are not Just american citizens, even if they do hold a US passport/citizenship or vote in US elections (WHICH IS A HUGE IF BECAUSE NATIVE AMERICANS ARE NOT A MONOLITH) there is literally hundreds of tribal nations with their own land, police, medical systems, laws and statutes, they all determine membership and manage resources differently. there are dozens of different Kinds of native nations, degrees to which they have independence from the US or whether they have independence or whether they're recognized as nations at all. Reservations are not just towns and they are not just Regular Places Americans Live. it is a brutal system most comparable to the salute system of the British Raj crossed with the jewish ghetto of Prague.
The US didnt create this system to be nice or give native people ""equal rights"", but to specifically segregate native peoples and force them onto lands with rampant pollution and little resources.
And while yes there are many native people who dont live in tribally controlled areas/reservations (though every native person ive ever met has a connection to one) to pick out these as a representation of native americans as a whole is disingenuous. the notion that native people havent been the most consistent and virulent acters against the US project since before its inception is historically illiterate.
"you are citizens with equal rights within the american nation"
except when the ""american nation"" in question has complete control over whether or not your nations water has uranium in it or your police can arrest a non-native US citizen or you get a passport. except when that nation has been committing the longest genocide in history against you. except when that nation made your religion illegal to practice until the 80s in most places (later in others and some aspects are still illegal).
cmon man. pull your head out of your ass and think about the reality of being one of >4000 Passamaquoddy living in Indian Township for a fucking second.

evil game design must never be done for money reasons. evil game design must be done for the love of evil itself
op surely isn't biased here
i wanted to say as someone who doesn't remember a lot of her childhood and feeling like i was robbed a lot of it be it bc of shitty circumstances, i find ur blog really really comforting and babble/baby babble mean so much to me... i always like to go through tagged art of her and it makes me feel happy, i hope that isn't weird to say ;w; keep being you, , thank u for putting out all this positivity bc it helping me realise I can be like that too
not weird at all, i really appreciate it :) thank u for saying so
I feel like Squidward is the type of gay man who sexually imprinted on an unrequited crush in his teens and has been chasing it's shadow ever since. Sexually speaking I think it would be difficult for him to be present. It's not that he has trouble being vulnerable, I think he's a vulnerable if tense lover. Like whenever he sleeps with somebody new he can only see them when measured against an ideal he won't allow himself to fully comprehend. Because if he ever looks at it head on, he knows it will never happen perfectly. Like, he has a hard time indulging in his partners fantasies, especially when it clashes with the semiconscious image in his head. So the sex is pleasant but tense and distant.
It wasn't Squilliam. It was some other person that moved schools and vanished before the advent of social media. Squilliam was the NEXT uncomfortable crush, but it formed around the unresolved feelings from the first crush, which is part of why he's feels so bitter towards Squilliam.
Love how the fact that sexual dimorphism was introduced after this comic retroactively makes this Pikachu mlm.
Do yourselves a massive favor: practice asking for help BEFORE it's an emergency.
I am a social worker. I have worked in community mental health and in home-based healthcare. And it is much, much easier for me to help you when the situation you're in is not yet a full-blown crisis.
"I'm out of money and have been for a while and now I haven't eaten for three days." This is a crisis. A crisis where I'm likely going to have to put you in the car and take you to the nearest food bank--except food banks require appointments now, and the next opening is in four days, so you're staring down the barrel of a week with no food. That's obviously not going to work, so, let's call eight different food banks until we've found one that has an appointment the next day...except it's in the neighboring county and you can't drive. So now I'm calling your doctor to try and brow beat an emergency plan of care update out of him so I can come back the next day and drive you to the food bank. And we haven't even started on the "constantly broke" part of the problem.
"I don't think I have enough food to make it to my next paycheck. I have (xyz) in my house and that will only last until (date)." This is bad, but not a crisis. We have a few days. We make you an appointment at the food bank and contact your brother to make sure you have a ride there. Now we can spend our visit talking about what bills are causing you the most problems and make a jump on a long-term solution, like looping in a community action agency to cover your utilities and getting you an OTC card from Medicaid to cover some of your groceries every month.
"I'm ten months behind on rent, and my landlord said I have a week to get out, or the cops will throw me out. I don't have the money, and if I get evicted, I have nowhere to go." This is a crisis. Every single thing we do here is going to be some version of a Hail Mary. In Michigan, we have the state emergency relief fund for rent issues, but process time is well over one week. There are community action agencies that we can call to assist you with payment, but they are unlikely to have sufficient funds to cover nearly a year of back rent. We can contact legal aid clinics to try and prevent your landlord from evicting you, but they may look at your case and determine that too much "fault" lies with you. Most likely, I'm going to have to put you in touch with homeless shelters and the public housing office.
"I'm two months behind on rent and I don't think I'll be able to pay next month either." This is bad, but not a crisis. This is solvable. We have time to apply for SER, or put you in contact with community action agencies. We have time to review your finances and see if you qualify for a public housing wait list or other forms of ongoing rental assistance. We have time to talk about a million possible adjustments to try and ease the burden of your rent.
"I am the sole caregiver for my elderly parent who has dementia and is emotionally volatile and fully dependent on me. I have not slept through the night in weeks and I have not had an actual break for over a year. I am having screaming meltdowns multiple times a week and I am threatening self-harm unless someone comes to collect my parent and take over all caregiver duties." This is a crisis. This is a crisis where the ethical code of my profession demands that I call 911 and report the conversation to them. They will likely come to the house and interview you. If they determine your threats were serious, they will have you forcibly committed to a psych ward. Your parent will either be dumped into a random hospital or rehab center, or left in the house on their own. Upon release from your psych hold, you will be expected to resume caregiving duties as though nothing happened. Except, now, adult protective services is actively investigating you, because it was determined you may be an ongoing danger to your parent.
"I am the sole caregiver for my demented parent, and I have not had a break in a couple of weeks, and I feel angry and weepy most of the time." This is bad, but not a crisis. We can get you in touch with volunteer groups for respite, and apply for state funded programs to get more day-to-day help, and talk about long-term planning for when the dementia symptoms get worse. We can get you the phone numbers for crisis lines and enroll you in a support group.
Obviously, you can ask for help at any point. Don't use this an excuse to never ask for help. If you always wait until it's a crisis, fine, you have free will. But you are ALLOWED to ask for help BEFORE you're in a blind panic, and it is always easier to get help when you aren't screaming and sobbing because you think your life is over.
