orufrey is actually breaking boundaries and queering yaoi by being a blue x blue ship. they said it couldn't be done. everyone's always said, no, it's too crazy, it can't be done. both characters in a ship can't be blue. but one step at a time we are moving into a brighter future
This man is about to cry.
I got the game and now I get to feed my miis cigarettes too. >:)

For me, no; I first read MDZS, then TGCF, then SVSSS … and at least currently, I think I am most obsessed with SVSSS
Also, I’m including any value of “read” here whether you read the novel, read the comics, watched one of the versions of any shows …
Honestly?
I'm looking forward to this exchange on Thursday more than Face Grabbing.
Looking very forward to watching Xeno nearly vibrate apart in an attempt to be like "I am so normal about getting Stanley back. I haven't missed him at all. This is purely a practical and professional decision that's the only reason I'm agreeing. I'm so normal. I have no personal emotional investment in this whatsoever. What do you mean why am I packing gifts for Stanley what do you mean when did I make those. These are just payment so he agrees to be hired for this job obviously you need to pay people what do you mean why am I popping breath mints and looking at my hair five times in two minutes. It's important to be elegant. Btw have we decided on where Stanley's going to sleep just as a practical matter no no no don't delay reviving him for that he needs the astronaut training time staying with me is fine. Shut up. I'm so normal."
I did a thing !!!! 🥰
And is soooo tinny🥺✨️ sooo angy 😩✨️💞

Tartaaaaaahhhh most precious wonderful little guy apparently he and his friendship with Coco are just going to make me cry all the time
Lmao at the doctor lady being like "alright so what we've got here is what's known as a cold" like dammit Qifrey you are four kids deep how are you still rushing your babies to the ER over every sniffle like an overanxious first time mom?
If i were an animator for wha, i too would fall in love with brushbuddy and give it more screentime
Here's a question I've been mulling over and would love to get your opinion on! Is it sad that Stanley sacrifices himself for Xeno's happiness without seeming to consider that his own absence might hinder that happiness at least to some degree? Is it sad that the first thought he has when he's depetrified again (if I've got the mental order of out-of-context manga panels right lol) is that he's been brought back for a specific mission (true, but he doesn't seem to even consider that he could have been brought back as a reward for Xeno or anything like that).
You and I generally talk and joke about them being VERY MUCH an established couple, and that's definitely my preferred interpretation, but I feel like this could be spun into an argument against that, or at least against them being on the same page about how much they mean to each other? Or am I just pulling angst out of the thin air because I think it's fun? 😅
We don't actually get any of Stanley's thoughts on the matter (ever). They wake him up, they talk to him a bit, but he doesn't actually say anything other than answer a technical question and agree to do the job. And the next time we see him is similarly no-internal, action only (and it has nothing to do with Xeno).
What we mostly get from Stan is a lot of quiet observation of the situation, checking over Xeno to see if he's okay/healthy/happy/not being coerced, and then agrees. So much of their interaction in that scene was pretty shadowed/private even from the audience that it's hard to read too too much into it. I'm really excited to see if the anime gives us more on it.
At no point in the manga is it ever mentioned that Stanley is brought back for Xeno (just a brief interlude that emphasizes this is important to Xeno emotionally), and Xeno gives him a number of emotionally charged gifts afterward that further underscores that.
I do think this, and the scene where he sacrifices himself, are a big part of the "Stanley Pines while Xeno doesn't even understand" interpretation, and I get that. I'm not going to say it's not a fair interpretation, even if it's not My Preferred One.
I do think it's fair to point out that science does matter a lot to Stanley. Not just Xeno, although of course Xeno, but Xeno would not respect him or have shared power with him if Stanley did not respect science. He's not a scientist, but he mentions using Xeno's "science" when he settles in to snipe Senku/Taiju. Xeno mentions that he would make Chrome a commander (which is what Stan is!!!) because he respects science, even if Chrome is not particularly skilled (yet. He's very talented, he's very good, but he is missing a lot of basic skills yet).
And when Stanley sacrifices himself, he's mostly thinking of Xeno, but he does also mention that Xeno will be continuing science. Because it makes Xeno happy, but it also seems important to Stanley that science continues. Possibly because Xeno Infected him.
He doesn't say he thinks Xeno will be happy. He says Xeno will continue sciencing (which yes of course is an important part of Xeno's happiness. But).
Do I think Stanley was underestimating how much he meant to Xeno...hm. You know, when I read the Viz translation, I thought, absolutely not, how could he be a hostage to get Xeno to agree if Xeno didn't care about what happened to him. So I checked the Japanese to reinforce my argument, and the Japanese Did Not (RIP me), although it didn't disprove it either. Could justifiably go either way.
Do I think Stanley is the kind of person who would sacrifice some of Xeno's happiness for his health, despite how devoted he is to Xeno's happiness?
...You know, I think I kind of do think that.
That bit about how relatively private their reunion in the manga was has me EVEN MORE hyped for this week's episode!!
I love the thought that Stan cares about science in his own way, and that even though he might have caught the bug initially from Xeno it is now also his own care too.
It's a good point that Stan knowing he's valuable as a hostage means he must at least know that he matters to Xeno. I have wondered before about how quick the Kingdom of Science is to realize that they can (albeit mostly for show/to preserve Xeno's pride) use Stanley as a hostage, since Xeno isn't exactly waxing mushy about him during the kidnapping arc, but I blame Gen having been trapped in their Castle of Perpetual Honeymooning lmao.
you ever have a really dumbass thought and just feel compelled to share it?
the primary difference between a pasta-based casserole and a pasta salad is...
heat
meat
Hyper forgot that (at least) two of her mutuals are from the US Midwest who are now like 🤨🤨🤨
So now she gets to enjoy causing us consternation instead.
A list of differences for those of you confused:
Pasta Salad
Pasta is cooked separately and added to the other stuff cold
Usually contains An Vegetable. not usually a previously frozen one.
not served or cooked in a casserole dish
probably not completely glued together with melted cheese and butter
never has red sauce, has some kind of dressing instead
served cold
Casserole
cooked. In a casserole dish. All together.
Again, ALL PARTS ARE COOKED TOGETHER
initially served hot, leftovers dealer's choice
Contains butter or cheese or lots of both to stick it together.
May contain red sauce if a pasta casserole. May contain cream of chicken soup.
vegetables are not mandatory. probably they were canned or frozen first though
calling on Parliament to support me in this, my time of need (I'm being bullied by Americans who are unnervingly passionate about casserole) 🤣

Hi no I'm pissed off about the age verification laws and bills again. So many grown adults out there going, "The internet should be safe for my children," with all the brazenness of someone walking into a bar and saying, "You need to stop serving alcoholic drinks because I want to drop my children off here all day while I'm at work." Except at the same time they're also demanding that arsenic be added to all the drinks, including the ones being served to children
Qifrey has the energy of the mom in the obligatory Munchausen By Proxy episode of an early aughts medical drama I'm so sorry
Obsessed with the amount of Sherlock Holmes fanfiction that makes it to mainstream media without anybody batting an eye. Modern London AU. Modern American AU with Fem!Watson. Medical drama AU. Furry AU (multiple!). Mary-Sue younger sister AU. Sci-Fi AU. Supernatural AU. High school AU. I love it
