I'm such a girl who lays in bed and doesn't want to get up
One of those going-over-the-fandom's-head memes about Shuro Dungeonmeshi being hopelessly infatuated with Falin and loathing Laios even though they have basically identical personalities where the direct takeaway is "lol, Shuro is dumb" and the part going over the reader's head is "people decide whether your autistic traits are charming quirks or red flags based on whether they find you fuckable".
[image description: fanart of Buffy and Faith on a purple/pink background. They are drawn twice from the waist up, one upside down like a reflection. In the right-side-up drawing, Buffy is stabbing Faith in the stomach with a dagger. Faith is grimacing and Buffy looks shocked. In the upside-down reflection, Faith is cupping Buffy's head and kissing her on the forehead. They both look calm and their eyes are closed.]

Leafcutter ant! They cultivate a particular species of fungus by feeding it plant material and tending it like a little fungus garden. Adult ants eat the sap of leaves, but their larvae are fed the cultivated fungi. Ant farmers!

major props to christopher eccleston for acting out the lines "i couldn't save your world. i couldn't save any of them" with such subtle and layered emotions while also struggling against mannequin people trying to throw him into a pit of lava (he is very clearly standing on a styrofoam pad lit by LED lights)
What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?
- Partial transformation - mummy rot is slowly turning you to sand, a near miss from a medusa left you with partially stoned body parts, etc.
- Hypnotic suggestions from being mind controlled persist after the controller’s death, causing the victim to occasionally take actions to support the cause of a mind flayer cult that no longer exists.
- Repeated demonic possession has left the patient with permanent gaps in their soul’s defenses, causing them to immediately get re-possessed if they go outside a consecrated area.
- Post-resurrection trauma as the revived soul remembers an unpleasant afterlife.
- Magical healing can get very weird if something is stuck in the wound. It’ll get you back on your feet, but you can get outcomes like “there’s a chunk of wood fused into your chest because the magic couldn’t figure out how to get the arrow out of your chest and just healed it in place,” and this can cause mobility issues or infection vectors down the line.
Day 2 in the Middle School Time Loop: you remember that last time, everyone ignored you at recess because they were talking about a TV show that you hadn’t watched. This time, you lie and say you’ve seen it. They ask you who your favorite character is, and you don’t know any of the characters, and so you’re tongue-tied. They think you’re weirder than ever, or maybe a liar, which is worse (and true).
Day 3 in the Middle School Time Loop: you tell your parents that you feel ill. They let you stay home while they’re at work. You spend the whole day watching past episodes of the TV Show.
Day 4 in the Middle School Time Loop: Recess again. The same person asks you who your favorite character is. This time, you're ready. You eagerly tell them, and supplement your reasons for liking them with solid evidence from all 4 seasons of the show. But! Tough luck: you’re now too invested. The atmosphere turns uncomfortable. They go back to ignoring you like they did on the Day 1 that you didn’t know was Day 1.
Day 5 in the Middle School Time Loop:

One of my hobbies is listening to the tma q&a with jonny and Alex and clipping out bits that I'm like, this is just martin and Jon bickering. The girls are fighting. This conversation could happen in season 5 and I would not bat an eye.
[VD: An excerpt from The Magnus Archives Season 5 Q&A Part 2. Jonny Sims stutters, "... stuff like, it's just, it's just horrible," but Alex J. Newall speaks over him in a disagreeing, emphatic tone and says, "Ah, now you’re— Nothing wrong with a good mold. You can do a lot with a good mold. Also, the Corruption is a Power that you can kick. So I'm okay, I'm okay with The Corruption, doesn't bother me."
Jonny asks, "What do you mean it's a Power you can kick?" and Alex responds casually, "'Oh no, creepy mushroom.' Kick it." Jonny splutters and says, "Yeah, no, what-- You can't kick it-- Like, if the mold has buried into your flesh—" Alex repeats, "'Oh no, creepy mold.' Kick it."
Jonny argues, "If you are rotting, you can’t just... kick your own rot out." Alex says brightly, "Yeah, you can. Kick it." Jonny says wearily "Okay." Alex repeats, "The Corruption is a Power that can be kicked. I have-- I have no time for it." Jonny hums argumentatively and says, "Disagree," making Alex laugh. End VD]

sorry but no one thought to tell me Dungeon Meshi has a scene where a character literally goes "the best way to stop a wizard casting a spell is to make out with them" and then proceeds to Do That???
