What's your favorite commercial airliner crash?

I was gonna try to come up with a non-fatal one because it always feels tasteless to enthuse about my interest in a fatal crash but then I remembered Paninternational and unfortunately I might have a favourite commercial airliner crash after all.

If an air crash story has you explaining German tax law and bonkers alternate reality that the designers of Concorde imagined I think that's a good story

If the #0079 song isn't a Gundam song I... will do absolutely nothing but it will be such a missed opportunity.

Hello specter-177! I have to say I am not familiar with Gundam as a franchise or a fandom so I don't know the significance of the number 79. The number of a song on this blog is never meant to be a hint.

The way the MCU has been run the last few years makes me think they had planned to end it with Endgame, but were told by tptb that they had to continue really late in production. Except I'm pretty sure they had already announced phase 4 well before Endgame came out. It's like Fiege doesn't actually give a shit anymore and is just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks instead of actually plotting out an overall story.

Nah, it only feels like Endgame was supposed to be an ending because literally everything built up to it and it hijacked several character's story arcs.

The problem is that everything built up to Endgame. In previous phases, things built up beyond the next Avengers movie.

They kinda had to start mostly from scratch with the buildup. Which is, admittedly, their own fault.

And let's be honest, they've had a bunch of events outside their control wrecking their plans: COVID, the SAG-AFTRA strike, the whole Jonathan Majors debacle. I can understand the pivot, even if I don't agree.

When deciding if a show has been seen by tumblr, do you just take if Yes is the most popular, or if the combined Yes and Partially are over 50%? For example, if it was 40% Yes, 0% Partially, 30% No, 30% Never Heard Of, would that count as seen or not seen?

i generally look at the one answer that has majority votes, so i would classify the one in your example as "has been seen by tumblr".

i have to say that i am a little more conflicted when "yes" and "partially" are the majority when added together but not on their own :') i'm not sure whether i should consider them as "seen" or not

I can't believe there are still people that think Suletta and Miorine aren't going to get together for good at the end when this show is clearly a romance story at its core, just with a Gundam setting and all that comes with that.

Yeah. Like I get that people have been burned before by queerbait in anime, but this show has already been extremely explicit from the get-go with answering the "but we're both girls!" question in the first episode (not counting the prologue obvs). That alone proves to me that it's not shying away from what's happening here, and Miorine and Suletta are literally the two leads of the show.

It's like you said: this is a romance. The question of whether it's a tragic one or not is still yet to be answered, but what isn't yet to be answered is that Miorine and Suletta have legitimate feelings for each other. That is a plot point.

Asks pt5: more shorter asks

...whoops,

And they’d treat their baby sibling like such a ridiculous child for not appreciating it; “just because your favourite type of preservation is making dolls doesn’t mean it’s the only one, for something dangerous as a Titan a pinned skeleton is really the only way, you’ll understand when you’re older” while he’s sobbing over his friend....

Which is cute as hell! I still hate the look of loafers or sneakers without visible socks but oh well, FJ tattoo is worth it lol

I HEARD THAT’S SO FUCKING CUTE

It really has-- and that’s the primary reason I’m now pretty sure that’s what Manny died of. (there’s also the fact that my uncle died of brain cancer a couple years ago and now my aunt has the same kind and I’m terrified so it’s on my mind but.) There’s something really beautiful about Luz getting to save King’s dad’s body/memory/legacy from the cancer another human brought and became.

Same!! It’s also so nice to have a character who’s multigender/genderfluid; I love that we have agender rep and also that, you know? King and Queen, best of both things!

I love that she’s actually helping out with stuff, with rebuilding! Like, is that the community service part of a sentence? Is she finally figuring her shit out and trying to be a member of society without cleaving herself to a dictator? Either way is good. I’ve never been as Broiling Hatred about Kiki as some folks; she’s much more in the “oh my gosh you little brat” area for me. I love going FUCK OFF KIKI WE’RE HAVING A MOMENT it’s genuinely fun. She’s genuinely fun.

It ain’t mine to allow, lmao!

I mean, I never actively hated it, you know? I just really like close M&F friendships without any romance, I wanted to see them get that, and the ship was contrary to my preexisting headcanons (I don’t know how far ahead they planned things, but the business with Beefy Bob in HMH felt very much to me like a casual “by the way, Willow’s a lesbian” coding to me), so I guess I was resistant and kinda disappointed, because it meant I didn’t get the thing I’d have liked more... but hell, it happened, it’s sweet. I don’t hate it, I just don’t feel motivated to seek it out/write it as the main focus of a fic/etc.

Not gonna lie, I’m a little baffled and kind of upset by the way “wah, I would have liked it better if this wasn’t how it’s going” seems to be read as “I hate this virulently and also everyone who likes it”. The internet, man....

Same as before except that Hunter and Willow are bi, I guess!

Are you watching anything these days?

Wisp and I just finished catching up on Archer.

And I've been back on my One Piece watching lately too.

But aside from that... not a lot honestly! Been playing more games than anything.

[mandareeboo]

I wonder how many people had glyph designs tattooed on them before this episode came out and are now regretting it?

According to google images, at least a couple! Though, to be fair, I wouldn't fight a sleeve of whatever Phillip has on his arm, curse or no.
