I’m never gonna finish this meme;
5/15 otps : Roy Mustang x Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist)
keep your angels and your heaven;
I love a damned boy, and he loves me
Friend: “Have you seen [TV Show/Movie]?”
What I say: “I’ve seen bits and pieces of it, yeah!”
What I mean: “I’ve seen gifs”
AHAJAHAHAHAHHANAJAHA. I fell bad for posting this, but I've been waiting my whole goddamn life for this.
I am 25 and I have never been in love. That’s one of those facts that makes me Sit and stew and sigh like a dog on One of his off days.
I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I once drove twenty minutes to a Bakery to get my friend a cake for her 16th birthday with the face of her Favorite band on it. And she told me That was her favorite thing she’s ever Gotten and we watched fireworks all night.
I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I have held someone after a breakup As they cried and cried and cried, And gave them my favorite jam and tea And told them that if love is an anchor That means it is also a boat. You will find Your way to harbor again.
I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I have raised terrified kittens in my Bedroom. You let them sniff you first, You always let them sniff you, you put Out food, you don’t give chase. You wait. And one day they come to you. And sit on your lap and purr like A motor terraforming Mars itself.
I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I have picked myself up after all My worst days and given myself soup When I’m so sick I can’t stand And given myself cakes on the days I feel Like dead ashes and tape that’s lost its stickiness. I have licked my own wounds and healed my own Bruises, I have called myself beautiful Even when I don’t feel it.
I am 25 and I have never been in love. But maybe I have.
riza hawkeye is the smartest fucking character in fma because she looked at herself, a shy sheltered daughter of landed gentry, and she looked at roy, an arsehole with a heart of gold desperately in need of a tragic backstory, and she saw the genre they were in, shōnen anime, and then CLAWED her way out of fridged wife-hood thru sheer grit and long-distance murder and we salute
wait he still has that FUCKASS blanket even in his cosmic machine herald form what the fuck is wrong with him. like actually
if you’ve ever thought i’m standoffish, politely distant, or generally hard to befriend, know in your heart that i’m exactly the same in real life. my neighbours just showed up at my door drunk on Canada Day celebrations and told me how desperate they’ve been to meet me for the past few months and then tried to fix the water pump in my basement
-“We both broke into the same person’s house and now we are watching Supernatural on their TV IS THIS A DATE?!”
-“Our cells are across from each other and I got something in my eye and now you think I winked at you WOW THIS IS AWKWARD”
-“We are both robbing a bookstore AND YOU LIKE HARRY POTTER TOO!”
-“Our hands brushed when we were both taking down our wanted posters and now I’m blushing”
-“The guards ship us”
-”We both got arrested and now we are riding in the Police car together and now we are flirting wow this is strange”
Bonus-”Now the policeman is laughing at us… DO WE HAVE A SHIPPER?”
WILL ADD MORE-TAG YOUR SHIPS
I vaguely recall reading something about how the Greek’s made concrete(?) being unknown for so long. This real durable concrete and no one could make it.
Oh they had the recipe. They did have that! But it didn’t work.
Until someone used ocean water. They did not say it was ocean water because back then it was so obvious what you used, no one bothered noting it down.
I say this because I want everyone to consider this in regards to Wei Wuxian and the notes he left behind. Not only are they a chaotic mess – because he goes off on tangents about farming, Wen Qing being mean, A-Yuan being adorable, suddenly it’s all about Lan Wangji again wtf, and then there is the various doodles of both amazing art and insulting caricatures – Wei Wuxian only is writing for himself. He’s not making a cultivation manual, he’s making notes for himself, notes on his experiments, notes that tie into what he knows already. He’s personally improving his cultivation, not building a means to teach others.
So just imagine Xue Yang cursing as he tries to figure out why the ghost whistles – meant to either drive away or beckon ghosts, an improvement on the spirit-lure flags and meant specifically to help keep the Burial Mounds safe for the Wen Remnants – don’t work. He follows exactly what Wei Wuxian put down, makes them out of bamboo he carves himself and paints with the right characters in blood, and they still don’t work. Because to Wei Wuxian, living in the Burial Mounds it’s very obvious that he uses the bamboo that grows in the resentful energy rich Burial Mounds.
Or Jin Guangyao, trying to figure out how he made the Ghost General for the thousandth time and getting nowhere because no where does it specifically mention that part of it involved how Lan Wangji was there playing his guqin with spiritual energy and how that interacted in a fascinating fashion with the resentful energy to pull back Wen Ning’s mind after a lot of previous rituals and experiments. The closest it gets to noting that is the five page gush over Lan Wangji’s visit and the meal he shared with him alongside A-Yuan.
Mo Xuanyu keeps his position in Jin Sect in part because he can actually figure out a good chunk of Wei Wuxian’s notes and organize them into mostly useful forms. But even he sometimes struggles to figure out something left behind. Like the blood lock spell – that protects something from anyone who does not share your blood, something even more useful to Wei Wuxian as he’s an only child with no known living relatives – he tries multiple times, never getting it to work, and fails to realize the reason there is a doodle of the moon nearby is because it is the phase of the moon necessary for the ritual to work.
Just. Wei Wuxian, writing down personal experimentation notes, unknowingly driving the Jin Sect insane. And then when he returns he fails to understand what is the problem until Lan Wangji talks him through it and suddenly so much makes more sense.
