i never really got into the v-pet side of digimon, but i’m super happy to see all these cool new digimon!!

AU where Zuko realises very early into his banishment that he’s been sent on a hopeless goose chase and, actually, he doesn’t want to return to the oppressive Fire Nation and his abusive father. And he sticks with this decision even after Aang wakes up from the iceberg

Except then Aang meets Zuko - probably when Zuko jumps in to save someone, because his sense of justice is too strong to just sit back while someone is hurt, even if he is trying to remain apolitical - and his brain goes “!!!!” Because that’s a good firebender. They do exist. And now Aang knows someone who can teach him firebending without trying to kill him

Except Zuko wants nothing to do with the Avatar. He especially doesn’t want to get entangled with his father’s war. So the rest of the season is about Zuko running from the Avatar, and Aang and co trying to capture the reluctant ex-Prince of the Fire Nation so he can be Aang’s firebending teacher

                                                                                                                                #oh how the tables have turned #ok but the thought of aang chasing zuko around like ‘pls teach me fire bender sifu!!! you’re so talented!!! teach me your wayyyyys!’ #while zuko does his best to avoid this overpowered puppy and his friends #is both hilarious and adorable #my posts #avatar #atla #atla headcanons #idk where iroh is in this AU #but he was probably a key component in helping zuko get to that point of acceptance #maybe he and zuko have a travelling tea shop

The obvious solution: Zuko’s naval vessel has been converted into a traveling tea shop.

They convert their naval ship into a floating tea shop oh my god

The Gaang ends up stopping by the tea shop one time not realizing it’s Zuko and Iroh’s ship and spot Zuko but Zuko is like “this is the busiest time of day on our busiest days at one of the busiest ports. I do NOT have time for this.” So he plays dumb. Like really dumb.

The Gaang: It’s Zuko!

Zuko, trying to ignore them: Who’s Zuko?

The Gaang: … You are? You look exactly like him.

Zuko, starts sweating: Nope. I’m Lee. Humble tea server.

The Gaang: Then how you get that scar?

Zuko, sweating more: A wild tea accident. Very bizarre.

The reason we never got a Zuko & Toph journey episode is bcs judging by the sharp increases in crimes broken & the severity of said crimes each journey they would’ve literally murdered some guy. Possible more than one.

Zuko & Aang: mild tomb raiding, met some dragons.

Zuko & Sokka: Prison Break, Kidnapping, the usual Zuko vs Azula schtick.

Zuko & Katara: like 7 counts of water assault, 1 GBH (+ blood bending), stalking & attempted murder of the elderly.

(Potential) Zuko & Toph: violent takeover of the largest drug cartel & gambling ring in the nearest city, 42 cases of GBH via rock and/or fire, at least 7 homicides.

reincarnated soulmates is one of my favorite tropes

*little note for those who can’t read japanese: Kris was about to say “Oni-chan” -which is considered as very childish and affectionate (if am i correct?)- then coughs and corrects themself “ani desu” (he is my elder brother) which is more formal/adult. It is really hard to translate XD

scott lang, completely misunderstanding peter parker’s power: hey if u want man we could get tiny and just like hang out, i don’t know if you’ve ever been in a lego castle but it’s pretty sweet

peter parker: u have no idea how much physical pain having to turn this offer down is causing me but,

Scott Lang, upon realizing Peter Parker can’t shrink: oh okay no biggee, we’ll just make the LEGO castle big

Peter, ready to cry from joy: do you like Star Wars? Because I have a replica… and my friend Ned and I got it to fly…

Tony, calling peter: …and may I know WHY THE HELL IS SHIELD CALLING ME ABOUT A LIFE-SIZED DEATH STAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT?!

Peter: we didn’t want it to crush any buildings so we brought it out here!

Tony: THATS N O T MY POINT!!!

#and then Tony wonders when the hell HE became the responsible one#and promptly abandons his responsibilities#and jumps in his armor#to go zoom around the life size death star#pretending he’s Luke doing the trench run (via)

It got better!

I was gonna SAY, Tony would fly out there, look at the thing, and go…. No, this isn’t life size. Impressive though. Okay, bugs, put on these helmets, we’re taking this into orbit and doing this at 1:1 scale.

Sam: Barnes is gonna make an awesome Chewbacca.

Bucky: -.-

You guys don’t understand how long I’ve wanted to make this

Microsoft announces it will shut down ebook program and confiscate its customers' libraries

Microsoft has a DRM-locked ebook store that isn’t making enough money, so they’re shutting it down and taking away every book that every one of its customers acquired effective July 1.

Customers will receive refunds.

This puts the difference between DRM-locked media and unencumbered media into sharp contrast. I have bought a lot of MP3s over the years, thousands of them, and many of the retailers I purchased from are long gone, but I still have the MP3s. Likewise, I have bought many books from long-defunct booksellers and even defunct publishers, but I still own those books.

When I was a bookseller, nothing I could do would result in your losing the book that I sold you. If I regretted selling you a book, I didn’t get to break into your house and steal it, even if I left you a cash refund for the price you paid.

People sometimes treat me like my decision not to sell my books through Amazon’s Audible is irrational (Audible will not let writers or publisher opt to sell their books without DRM), but if you think Amazon is immune to this kind of shenanigans, you are sadly mistaken. My books matter a lot to me. I just paid $8,000 to have a container full of books shipped from a storage locker in the UK to our home in LA so I can be closer to them. The idea that the books I buy can be relegated to some kind of fucking software license is the most grotesque and awful thing I can imagine: if the publishing industry deliberately set out to destroy any sense of intrinsic, civilization-supporting value in literary works, they could not have done a better job.

If you’ve got an ereader and want to actually own your books, I heartily recommend using cailbre to scrape the DRM off and so you can backup the files.

Seconding calibre as a brilliant tool for ebook management in general. 

calibre is good

and it’s free and open source software!

Cailbre helped me properly access ebooks my dad bought for me ages ago whose encryption keys had been outmoded and were no longer available for my new laptop’s os! Nearly 15 of the books he’d given me I hadn’t even had a chance to read before then, but the free copy of cailbre I got online had all of the old, outdated encryption program keys!!

10/10, It’s good software!

All my ebooks have been de-DRMed and backed up. I don’t trust Amazon either

‘1) Calibre plugin neither support Kindle for PC/Mac version 1.25 (and higher version) nor Kindle firmware 5.10.2 (and higher version). Amazon uses new KFX format which causes calibre dedrm plugin unable to decrypt kindle files any more. 2) Kindle rented books are not provided to be decrypted.’

You can get round the KFX isue by getting the KFX plugin:  You Can Now Strip DRM from Amazon’s Kindle KFX Format

I did it last week. You just need the latest DeDRM version

so it turns out one reason why kissanime’s been sucking ass lately in terms of load times is cause rapidvideo literally uses your browser to mine cryptocurrency???

And that’s just like, one of the hundreds/thousands of other sketchy things the site has going on in the background by just sitting on any of its web pages without an adblocker/scriptblocker

Yo, if you wanna use KissAnime, you gotta be able to protect yourself & your computer from its shadiness. This post is discouraging, but sadly, there aren’t any less shady alternatives (aside from the legal streaming sites, of course) Anyway, if you wanna use any streaming site, you should download these Chrome extensions:

- uBlock Origin

And then you’re gonna wanna add this list to your uBlock filters…it blocks a lot of the nasty popups. 

- Kiss Essentials

Removes ads and adds functionality. Can never be too safe, right?

- Pop Up Blocker 

This extension is a lifesaver, seriously. Personally, I’ve never seen it used on Kiss, but it works a lot on other streaming sites. With uBlock, Essentials, and Pop Up Blocker, it’s very rare that I see ads. 

- Minerblocker

As the name suggests, it blocks crypto miners. I can’t vouch for its reliability yet, as it hasn’t blocked anything for me atm.

I also use a tampermonkey script to block the “Are You Human?” thing. Pretty sure it’s on the Kissanime reddit (also, if you use Kiss a lot, browse that sub even more!! It’s really useful to know what the hell is going on the site before you risk your computer). Make sure to download Malwarebytes, too! 

reblogging this again because this is a much better version than just saying “dont use kissanime”

All illegal streaming services do stuff like this, so instead of going somewhere else, learn how to protect yourself from malicious advertisements.

Junichi Masuda announced, hidden at the end of the E3 Nintendo Treehouse discussion that a lot of people didn’t stick around for, that pokemon stored in Pokemon Home WILL NOT be able to be transferred to Sword/Shield if they are not a pokemon listed in the Galar Regional Dex. They have not said anything if this will be a temporary situation or permanent.

They did this under the pretense of wanting to focus on improving individual pokemon’s animations (despite none of the old pokemon shown so far displaying any new animations) and balancing online play (despite the fact they’ve banned pokemon in competitive settings before without excluding them from the games.)

This definitely means no National dex, but Sun/Moon lacked that too. More importantly this means you may not be able to use your favorites in Sword/Shield, or transfer your shinies. Pokemon that have been with you for 17 years will be stuck in Pokemon Home and unusable.

And since the transfer to Home is a one-way trip, you won’t be able to send them back to gen 7 to use there either.

Spread this like wildfire, because a LOT of people didn’t see it.

I’ve seen detective Pikachu and holy hell I wish for Bulbasaur to be real
