25 years ago, Darth Maul appeared for the first time in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, released in theatres on the 19th of May. The character was designed by Iain McCaig, portrayed by Ray Park, and voiced by Peter Serafinowicz.
oh no cigarettes for me thanks i just wanted to be in this dank alleyway with you
ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to be infertile
yeah that's exactly what i was saying
(suddenly serious) what i was saying was that Dungeon Meshi has some really well-written characters that also have flaws. half the cast constantly gives Laios shit for being socially awkward, Laios forgets about the basics of human decency a couple of times when interacting with Izutsumi, the funny late-story villain squad are 80% convicted criminals, basically every character is a bit racist in some way, and, yes, Marcille, everyone's favorite silly little disaster lesbian, gets the "ick" about Tall-men portraying the characters in her favorite romance novel because she thinks they're too ugly and pouts about the idea of Falin (her dear beloved Falin) wearing clothes that she would be happy and comfortable wearing because "that stuff is for men"
i feel really silly talking about this but a weird thing that happened for me when the Dungeon Meshi anime took off and the fandom really exploded was seeing how weirdly cutesified a lot of fan depictions of the characters was. the "canon versus fanon" of it all, if you will. a week or so ago there was a bonus comic drawn by Ryoko Kui that got spread around Twitter about a What If situation in which Laios got eaten instead of Falin, and people were shocked about the idea of the party basically immediately giving up on the idea of saving Laios, including at least one "why does the writer think she knows so much" joke (i'm hoping it was a joke), which really baffled me because it just made sense to me that the party initially wasn't all that close to Laios (besides Falin, obviously). the relationship of the main cast is something that grows over the series. please read that carefully: the main cast does care for one another, they care for Laios, it's just that it's something that is developed over the course of the manga... and even that idea was too much for some fans
i'm probably going to sound really snobby, but i think there's a lot of people who are more fans of the fanart than the actual series...
i was mainly being silly when i was like "yeah let Marcille be weird about gender" but i was also kind of serious because it kind of is a prominent part of her character. it speaks to the world she lives in, what she values and finds important, and if you think about it, it actually speaks a lot to the subtext around her and Falin: Marcille hates "gross things," Marcille hates being uncomfortable, Marcille thinks women should be girly, and men should be masculine, and yet she willingly journeys down into a gross dungeon and eats weird monsters in order to save Falin, a woman who likes bugs, fucking around in the dirt, and pants. what do you think that implies about Marcille?
i appreciate writers that don't smooth all the rough edges off their characters. in Kui's case, we all know she's put massive amounts of thought into the world Dungeon Meshi takes place in, and the views of her character reflect all these thoughts. i don't think Marcille being "conservative" is an accident- i would go so far as to say that i don't think the "contradiction" of Marcille's love of Falin is an accident. i think this is all the sign of good writing, and i think it's a diservice to the writer to try and make these characters more "palatable" (and fit all the corny "found family" memes lol)
Here’s a link to a petition to protect Native American land in NC from a gas station chain which poses immense environmental threats, has violated workers rights, and will destroy land with historical significance to natives. My ancestors traveled the trading path they plan to build over. Please sign if you have a moment

They said “this is Edwin. He’s a repressed gay Edwardian teen who was ritually sacrificed by the guy who had a crush on him. His super power is he gets tortured so good even Despair thinks he’s neat.”
Then they threw him at tumblr like a wedding bouquet
jack’s ‘chaz’ is something so personal to me
oh look an excuse to retell one of my very favorite black sails bts trivia. OP not only was this improv (toby schmitz the aussie that you are) but someone higher up on the producer chain didn't think the nickname was appropriate. so when it came time for post production on s1 they sent schmitz to ADR with instructions to re-dub this line in post and change "chaz" to "charles." now according to schmitz either the audio engineer tasked with recording the ADR, or the producer supervising the session (or both?) were relatively new to the business and didn't have a lot of experience with cue sheets and the like. so schmitz went in there renegade and lied to their face(s) like "oh yeah we don't HAVE to check off every single thing on the list, it's more like suggestions 😜" and the nickname stayed in the final mix. nobody doing it like him then or since
I think one of my favourite things about playoffs is finding out who can grow a beard or not. Like there's always something really fun about a clean-shaven sophomore suddenly turning up with dark shadow on his face, or a vet who looks like a werewolf by Game 3, or a brown-haired boy revealing he has the ginger beard gene, or 27-year old Mitch Marner still unsuccessful in his endeavours
