just saw someone type the words "the earthy scent of bergamot" when referring to Astarion's signature scent (bergamot, rosemary, a hint of aged brandy) and uh
bergamot, it's like the most citrusy citrus to have ever citrused, friends. It's the kind of citrus used in Earl Grey tea, to give it that citrusy twinge, because it's like PUNGENTLY citrus.
bergamot and rosemary is supposed to be a light, sunny, clean scent- it's herbal and bright overall. It's -to me, who isn't trained or anything, just casually enjoys smellin' stuff- is a scent I associate with summer. The brandy is a nutty, sweet, alcoholic note that kind of cuts that- maybe to create the illusion of a pleasant, semi-natural musk, because I don't think an undead person would really have his own.
With his whole situation going on, I don't.... think, personally, that he'd put anything that'd be earthy on his skin on purpose. I think that'd be a bit on the nose, pun fully intended. (But I do think that his natural "corpse"-scent is probably a bit mossy and damp, like the earth of a freshly turned grave, or a seldom used cellar on a summer day. Not exactly the scent of decay, but something cool, almost mildewy.)
ladybug discovers that chat noir can speak english with a PERFECT british accent and she is FLOORED. chat noir has never seen ladybug so fascinated with him before. after she first finds out she literally sits across from him and is like "oh my god can you say 'squirrel' in english??' he says it flawlessly and she's like 'WHOAAAAA DO IT AGAIN!!!!!'
Everything with Batman is the same except he's a snacker. Bruce could never eat only at breakfast, lunch or dinner, he just never worked like that. Thomas and Martha had such a hard time trying to get baby Bruce to eat at a set time. He wouldn't be hungry at dinner time but at 2am? He was craving some marshmallows.
So the solution to that is him carrying snacks all over the place. Bruce will be at a gala and chomping on some grapes while trying to avoid the mayor. He'll be in an interview, talking about his latest poem related to Gotham's gothic architecture and nibbling on smores.
The Justice League are especially used to it. On the rare times when Bruce forgot to bring food, the others have him covered. J'onn slides him cucumber sandwiches, Ollie has honey-covered apple slices and Clark has his oatmeal cookies that Bruce said he liked. The JL are planning for the next cosmic threat and Diana, Clark and Bruce are having a picnic in the back.
It came in handy when his kids were little and they'd get hungry during movie premieres and fundraisers. He'd just whip out snacks from his suit pocket and they'd munch on some. Even now that most of them are grown, they still slide up next to him and tug on his wrist when they're hungry.
(The only time Damian wants to be referred to as a child is when he's arguing that only he should be entitled to Bruce's snacks cause he is the only actual child. No one else listens of course)
And I know it's canonical that Batman carries like sweets in his utility belt for Robin and any kids he may come across but some of them are for him too. Imagine being a goon and Batman dislocates your shoulder while peeling an orange. I'd just quit.
People have connected Bruce's eating habits to Batman's but instead of the logical theory of Bruce being Batman, they just think that Batman is a secret Wayne child that Bruce doesn't know about. They don't want to upset him so this theory is never brought up in his presence.
(Also Bruce 🤝 Speedsters
Having to constantly eat because you have eating habits that no one else gets)
From now on, I'm just going to assume that anyone who calls Gale any variation of "pompous", "arrogant", "annoying", "a jerk", or anything to that effect, and talks at length about how they hate him and/or have killed him, is just bellyaching and being a baby over them not understanding his speech. That's right, at this point I'm ascribing a literal skill issue to being wrong about a fictional character.
Aww, poor baby, did the Mean Wizard hurt your tiny, smooth widdle brain by saying "adroit"? Did his correct use of "foeti", the latinate plural of "foetus", frighten you? Aww, I'm so sowwy. That must be so tough for you, being so scared of fun words and the general concept of whimsy. I can't hear you over myself tongue-kissing the pretty man with the calf-eyes and the slutty waist.
apologies if this doesn’t fit your policies, but what are your thoughts on the ilymation drama? i tried to make sense of but it’s hard without delving into seeing fatphobic rhetoric due to the nature of her original video and how most people that discuss it don’t seem to understand the nature of fatphobia as a whole. but what do you think of it?
I don't remember if I watched her original video or not but my understanding of the situation is she made a video and people were responding to it and she was using the DMCA system to strike down videos.
Given the typical nature of people that would be upset enough to do a response video to an animation I can imagine its a lot of fatphobia, diet culture and pop science defending. 🙄
The crux of the issue is that she's not a commentator by nature so it probably feels very violating to have someone take your personal video and have someone be a clown about it under the guise of a "response". So I understand the instinct to protect your content. However unlike YouTube itself, the user base does not fuck around over trying to protect fairuse. Which has more and more self righteous fatphobes responding. I'm sure they are especially nasty if they think the response was 'correct' and her original was body positive.
It is fairuse to make a 'response' to the original video. It is an abuse of the take down system to flag those videos. And she doesn't have the skill set to navigate this frustrating situation because she is not a content creator that gets into fights or has people come after her normally. My heart goes out to her, I have seen other work from her, she's very personal, raw and vulnerable.
It probably felt like someone punched her in the heart. She wanted to protect herself and made the wrong choice. Now everyone is being assholes.
This is a really simple little proof of concept doodle based off of some really stupid jokes but that's fine because this is a propaganda post first and foremost. Turn him into a squirrel!!! If for no other reason than to mess with my sibling specifically pretty please 😊
