God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be

'Actually the most deranged Kaidan stan' apparently 😂. Ria. She/fae. Queer, autistic, asexual, feminist, bitch. Coherence has no meaning here, which is my pretentious way of saying I blog about whatever I want and whatever I'm obsessed with today ¯\_( ᐛ )_/¯

Sleepless

“You’re easy to talk to, Kaidan,” she admitted. He smiled back at her.
“Well I’ll always be here when you need to talk, Commander.”
Kaidan gets to know Maria a little better one sleepless night
Read on ao3

   Kaidan quietly huffed in frustration, pulling up the time on his Omni-tool. It had been over three hours since he had bunked down, and he was beginning to think that sleep just wasn’t going to happen for him tonight. He briefly considered just staying in bed – any rest was better than no rest at all, after all, and with his migraines he wouldn’t be able to take a stimulant later if he crashed – but the idea of spending another minute tossing and turning was enough to drive him insane.

  He kicked off his covers with a sigh and quietly made his way to his station in the mess hall; if he couldn’t sleep, he may as well get some work done. Besides, it would look better if he did crash later.

  He had expected to find the mess empty – the ship only ran with a skeleton crew at this hour – but as he rounded the corner, he saw Shepard sat at the table. Her hands were wrapped around a mug, and she had a faraway look on her face. He couldn’t help but smile fondly.

  Day by day, Kaidan found himself getting to know the woman behind Commander Shepard, as she slowly lowered her walls and allowed herself to just be. A woman who was gentle, inquisitive, sometimes shy, and often deep inside her own head. Who made him feel safe talking about his past and never judged him or pitied him. A woman who was stronger than anyone he had ever met, who had been through the kind of hell that would break or harden anyone else, but she came through the other side still strong, still kind.

Presenting: all of my “Rauru, Mineru and the Zonai are dragon people not goat/bunny people” evidence, neatly compiled into one image!

Though the goat comparisons also work in favour of this evidence because of the following quote from concept artist Satomi Usui in the Creating A Champion book about designing the dragons from BotW:

“[…] I played around with a number of ideas that would be recognizable as a dragon but also different from what you would expect. So I made the face and body mammalian, like a dog or a goat, and their arms contain elements of both birds and human hands.”

[Image description: the first image is a tweet by Oliver Darkshire (@/DeathByBadger) that says, "good morning. here is Potato, a one page RPG about being a halfling and trying to quietly enjoy your potatoes in a world that refuses to leave you alone."

The second image is the one-page RPG. It is titled "Potato" at the top, and on the right side it says in smaller text, "A one page RPG by Oliver Darkshire."

The introduction says, "you are a halfling, just trying to exist meanwhile, the dark lord rampages across the world you do not care about this. you are trying to farm potatoes because what could a halfling possibly do about it anyway".

Next is the "Rules" section: "You have three scores: Destiny (which starts at 0) Potatoes (which starts at 0) Orcs (which starts at 0)

Each score has ten empty boxes next to it in a line.

The next section is titled "Mash Them, Boil Them."

It reads: To start the game, you generate a new Event by rolling a six-sided die (d6). Adjust your scores as directed by the table (or subtable), then roll a new event. Keep rolling new events until one of the following occurs:

  • If your destiny score reaches 10, an interfering bard or wizard turns up at your doorstep with a quest, and you are whisked away against your will on an adventure (unless you've already been eaten by orcs).
  • If your potatoes score reaches 10, then you have enough potatoes that you can go underground and not return to the surface until the danger is past. You nestle down into your burrow and enjoy your well earned rest.
  • If your orcs score reaches 10, then orcs finally find your potato farm. Alas, orcs are not so interested in potatoes as they are in eating you, and you end up in a cookpot.

The next section is titled, "Hurling in the Back Garden."

The note at the beginning of it says, "At any point you can remove 1 potato to remove 1 orc.

Finally, there are three tables. The first table is named "Grass and Mud... (Roll a d6)"

It says:

1 or 2: In the Garden... 3 or 4: A Knock at the Door... 5 or 6: The world becomes a darker, more dangerous place. From now on, removing orc costs an additional potato (this is cumulative).

The second table is named "In the Garden..."

It says:

1 - You happily root about all day in your garden: +1 potato. 2 - You narrowly avoid a visitor by hiding in a potato sack: +1 potato, +1 destiny. 3 - A hooded stranger lingers outside your farm: +1 destiny, +1 orc. 4 - Your field is ravaged in the night by unseen enemies: +1 orc, -1 potato. 5 - You trade potatoes for other delicious foodstuffs: -1 potato. 6 - You burrow into a bumper crop of potatoes. Do you cry with joy? Possibly: +2 potato.

The last table is named "A Knock at the Door..."

It says:

1 - A distant cousin. They are after your potatoes. They may snitch on you: +1 orc. 2 - A dwarven stranger. You refuse them entry. Ghastly creatures: +1 destiny. 3 - A wizard strolls by. You pointedly draw the curtains: +1 orc, +1 destiny. 4 - There are rumours of war in the reaches. You eat some potatoes: -1 potato, +1 orc. 5 - It's an elf. They are not serious people: +1 destiny. 6 - It's a sack of potatoes from a generous neighbor. You really must remember to pay them a visit one of these years: +2 potatoes.

Стриптиз от Туктамышевой

I heard about 20 girls in the crowd have a lesbian awakening around 2:40…

It’s like her hat was limiting her. The second it fell off… she was unleashed

So that’s Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, and the video is of her gala exhibition skate from 2018 Skate Canada International (at which she won gold). She won bronze at NHK Trophy that year, and bronze at the Grand Prix Final. She has landed the quad toe loop, although not successfully in competition. So basically, in addition to preparing a very exciting exhibition skate, she’s just plain impressive as a figure skater overall. :)

To the people like me who don’t know a lot about ice skating but were watching like “Is this allowed?? Is this allowed???” some people in the replies have pointed out that gala exhibitions have different rules than the usual stuff you see and are meant to be super flashy and exciting like this, so that’s why she can use props and take her hair down and parts of her costume off without getting disqualified.

this is possibly the funniest terf take i’ve ever seen. trans people, hate to tell you this but buying clothes is actually capitalist and you should stop /j.

Clothing didn't exist before capitalism

Only Real Men can be anticapitalist. Real Women need capitalism for the makeup and clothing they require to be a Real Woman, and therefore can't fight the system

reblog for an infinite stream of makeup and gender affirming surgeries

breakdown of why moon’s haunted is the tweet of all time

sure, a guy from patriot front who runs a 1942 nazi rp server on gmod got caught trying to sell "femboy tummy pills" within a day by leaving his full legal name on the paypal transaction site. why not

Just in case you ever wondered, “Are the stupidest people on earth running it?”

I highly recommend watching this but paying attention to the face of the guy next to him he’s trying so hard to keep it together and not snap

Please know the hunting and fishing communities are having a BALL with this. My dad has sent me so many memes. Pretty sure he didn’t even know what memes were before this.

you’re really gonna say that and then not share the memes
