My favorie thing about TLT's magic system is that we learn about it first from the persepective of someone who

1) can't do the magic
2) hates the magic

and when you finally do have a character narrating who knows how to do the magic she is very mentally about girls and won't explain shit

The Locked Tomb has one of my favorite magic systems of all time and like 80% of it comes down to two things:

1. Necromancy is the only magic

2. The spells are called "theorems."

A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

I dropped off the manga a while back but when I did, not only had that not learned anything new about the other, but I'm genuinely not sure if Yor was even assassinating people anymore. Her cover job was an office lady got like 20x more development

I don't see the problem. James Caan looks very cozy

Scene from Misery, where James Caan's character is strapped to a bed, and Kathy Bates is leaning over him.

The scene of a bunch of children torn limb from limb is just the perfect cozy note to end the night on before bedtime

I am so fucking confused by some of those choices, particularly Let The Right One In. Like oh yeah so nice and comfy to settle in with a movie about child abuse

I have seen all but one of these movies and not only would I not describe any of them as "cozy" I would also struggle mightily to describe any commonality between them

Rhagana Doomslayer @rhagana.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely wild that @commandersterling.bsky.social was ranting this week about how the word"cozy" has become pervasive in video games and I see this at my local library today

Poster at the library's video section advertising "cozy horror" movies; it's a collage of original posters for the films The Fog, Practical Magic, Misery, Werewolves Within, Let the Right One In, Hocus Pocus, Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton version), Scare Me, and An American Werewolf in London.

Reminds me of when the Obamacare insurance markets first opened, the most people were like "wtf why do you want me to choose a thousand different options I don't understand I just want fucking healthcare," but a few liberals were thrilled they get to choose a thousand tiny options for the sake of it

Lol at describing America's system not even as "the best" like normal, but "the most extensive". Like yeah no other system lets you choose between seven different name brands of hip replacement with premium preorder DLC

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

They certainly have not shown any other character thus far riding a pole between their legs!

lmao Zenless Zone Zero's latest trailer. They genuinely animated jiggle physics for this man's gigantic tits. This might genuinely be more horny than any other trailer the game's put out so far, even just for the first fifteen seconds before it pivots to showing him as a wholesome dad

Komano Manato's gigantic bouncing tits, covered with sweat and the exclusive focus of the camera as he bounces up and down grunting

A pullback to reveal Monato is not doing something overtly sexual but is instead merely doing something very suggestive, bouncing up and down with a bamboo pole between his legs to compress some noodles he's cooking

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

It's especially funny that they pull back at the end of the trailer to reveal that none of the imagery was even from her own mind and desires, she's just reading a shoujo manga and envying the protagonist for being in love in the abstract.

Caesar on a road trip with Bunice, Lucy, and Piper, sitting in the passenger seat and reading a shoujo manga. Everyone's looking over her shoulder at what she's reading, including Piper even though she's driving. Caesar looks embarrassed as a result. lol.

Just got reminded of Zenless Zone Zero's comphet trailer, lmao. "oh I totally want to be in love with a guy. What kind of guy? Well uhhh I guess he should have hair? And like me. idk what else besides that" and people treated this shit as GOSPEL that she's hetero lmao www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaxI...
