Real excited to be starting this readalong! Going in chronological order should be an exciting experience for us all, I’m sure! Thanks to @alicedrawslesmis for suggesting running this experience via the Tumblr queue; I can’t think of a website I trust more!
We’re starting our readalong in 1805 with everyone’s favorite character, Bruneseau!
Is Seishirou half deaf on top of being half blind? Is he hearing himself? This is no longer mental gymnastic it’s Olympics level of mental acrobatics holly damn. It’s like “bitch you live like this” meme except you’re inside his mind. How his brain hasn’t caught on fire from mental acrobatics this intense however, I have no idea
“I was just taking a walk Subaru-kun, then I just happened to walk into a knife! My instinctive response when I see a knife is to walk into it! Protecting you? Nah. God forbid I did that to protect you, no way! I just selfishly spared you from getting stabbed Subaru-kun, nothing more”
Manipulate mansplain manwhore malewife and manslaughter all in one
Subaru was like:
And Seishiro like: Well I REALLY wanted to kill you so bad back then that I totally didn’t, so I’m going to go ahead and now kill you…
Also Seishiro: BUT ONLY after I give you this really long speech about betrayal blablabla
Also Seishiro 2 pages later: ok but for real I am killing you now Subaru-kun
Also Seishiro: ok but for real I am killing you now…
Also Seishiro: no, for real I am finally killing you now. I know I’ve been saying it for a few pages already and have not done anything about it yet, but I can’t admit to myself that I am literally waiting for you to get rescued.
Also Seishiro: Ah shucks. Man. You got away AGAIN Subaru-kun. And here I REALLY wanted to kill you this time around… Guess I’ll just kill you 9 years from now.
saw a thing recently about how callin ppl “y’all” and “folks” is becoming cringe. buddy you can pry those terms of address from my cold dead hands, they’re the only thing keeping me from calling everyone “honeybee”
at least if i die on this hill i’ll go to y’allhalla
“Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order.”
I apologize.
insert that YOU chihuahua post where theyre being pinned down i cant for the life of me find it
This one?
Oh, Charles. The hubris. Honey. You had to know this was a possibility. Why would you tempt Apollo like that.
I love how we don’t even need Apollo to be captioned, it’s just “he’s holding a dodgeball and looks Greek statue, of COURSE it’s Apollo delivering the gift of prophecy unto unsuspecting tumblr users”
(the floor is lava) (he’s fine he got his head out soon after and then retreated onto the safety of the carpet, also he doesn’t chew this kind of cardboard so he’s not ingesting any of the ink. there are rabbit snacks in the box)
Daily Lives of High School Boys but make it ✨them✨
They are all best friends and chaotic dumbasses and you cannot convince me otherwise. (yes that includes Road)
-I just think the season 4 version of Jasdero and Devit + Wisely and Road are the perfect Noah friend group! They’re also (excluding Hallow) the kids/teens of the Noah Clan soooo it makes it even better!
Also can we get some appreciation for the lineart? Wisely’s face is my favorite <3
OMG guys. I must have been going back and forth on the Good Omens episodes too much (a shock, I know) that Amazon Prime couldn’t take it anymore and had a glitch. Basically, the subtitles of episode 1 were slapped onto the visuals of episode 6. I was about to refresh until I realized that watching the episode this way brought some absolute gems:
(Snake sushi, I guess)
(asdhasjkldhkajsdhksjadh)
(I laughed so hard I nearly woke my mom on the second floor)
(Mood)
(…okay…?)
(That is what’s happening, yes)
(Yay demon bathing in holy water)
(accidental spoiler)
After I exited onto the main page and refreshed the problem went away. I just thought it was hilarious to the point I just watched the entire episode this way……
OH MY GOD THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO!!!
Except I was watching episode 3 and it gave me subtitles from episode 6
mood
I guess goats have brakes now
RIP jesus
This was the one that I scared the cat laughing at
That’s just Rome, honestly
rip king arthur
it’s okay shakespeare, computers are hard
my favorite ^
Unfortunately that’s as far as I got in the episode since my mom wanted amazon prime for something else, but it was honestly pretty great
guy who does unboxing videos but he only talks about the boxes
“Hey, everyone, welcome back. Our first box today is a Uline nine by five by four. Single piece of clear shipping tape over the top, two inch, and the UPS label nicely centered. No edge tape, and you know, that’s fine. This box is pretty light, I’d say under a pound, and taped edges don’t really add much stability here. Let’s open it up and see what we’ve got for dunnage…okay, half-inch bubble wrap, that’s unusual in a box of this size.”
Sometimes a post throws into perspective just how much niche knowledge you possess.
I read this, and I can tell from the “review” that the package was NOT shipped by a professional.
One: two inch tape. Professional establishments use three inch. It’s MUCH easier to seal boxes with, especially around the edges. Two inch is what you can buy from office depot or lowe’s. It’s fine for moving house, but it’s definitely not professional grade.
Two: no edge tape. Just seal your edges, people. UPS basically plays soccer with your packages. Even the light ones, just on principal, give them the structural support you can offer.
Three: centered label. Looks pretty on a package, sure, but it makes it very likely that the label will be covered up when the box is sitting in a stack or a pile, and that increases the chance that it will be manhandled to get to that label or even potentially mis-scanned or missed altogether in a stack. Label the SIDE of the box if at all possible! And put it to the side if you can’t! Visibility!
Also, the reviewer may be accustomed to getting a lot of boxes, but I don’t think they were a professional shipper, either. Someone who has shipped too many boxes would comment on whether the box was new or reused, whether there was any special hazmat (mostly lithium-ion battery) labeling, the condition of the package post shipping, and whether or not the weight of the package matched the stated weight on the label. AND they’d have commented on the two-inch packing tape.
I don’t know what to say other than “your experiences are not universal,” because I do shipping and receiving at a machine shop for a living, I see packages sent by professional shippers all the time, and I disagree with you on just about every point.
One: two inch tape. Professional establishments use three inch.
Nope. For packages I see, two inch packing tape is the norm. Today I had one package with three-inch water-activated reinforced paper tape and one (from Uline) with 2.75" packing tape. Everything else used 2" packing tape. Yes, it’s exactly the same kind of stuff that you can get at Office Depot or Lowe’s, and people use it because it gets the job done.
Two: no edge tape.
Not uncommon for small, light packages. I just don’t see box failures on packages under a pound where more tape would have helped. Where I do see failures is overloaded boxes, thirty pounds and up, where the corrugate simply ripped, and no amount of tape would have saved the package.
PSA: please don’t fill an 8x8x6 single-wall box with machine screws and expect it to arrive intact. Fastenal, I’m looking at you.
Three: centered label.
Label on top is standard. I had only one box today with the label on the side, and all the rest on top.
Looks pretty on a package, sure, but it makes it very likely that the label will be covered up when the box is sitting in a stack or a pile, and that increases the chance that it will be manhandled
Your package will get manhandled, regardless of where you put the label. Plan on it.
to get to that label or even potentially mis-scanned or missed altogether in a stack. Label the SIDE of the box if at all possible!
Heck no! I expect labels to be on top and that’s the first place I look for them. If it’s on the side, that’s potentially four other places I have to look, which is a pain in the ass when I’m busy. And I’m always busy.
UPS, incidentally, says you should put the label on the largest surface. For the packages I get, that’s usually the top.
Someone who has shipped too many boxes would comment on whether the box was new or reused,
Okay, that’s legit. I do see a fair number of reused boxes.
whether there was any special hazmat (mostly lithium-ion battery) labeling
Hazmats aren’t common enough to mention it every time when there isn’t one present. (My hazmats are usually solvents or paint, and that’s not something I get every day.)
the condition of the package post shipping
Not usually noteworthy. My internal monolog (which is what the above fanciful review is based on) doesn’t bother to mention it unless something unusual happened to the box.
whether or not the weight of the package matched the stated weight on the label
Although I ship just as many packages as I receive, if not more, it never would have occurred to me to check. And I don’t have a scale in the receiving department, so it would be guesswork anyway.
AND they’d have commented on the two-inch packing tape.
Which everyone uses. There’s not much need to comment when it’s far and away the most common type of tape.
Perhaps things have been different for you, but this is how it is in the manufacturing industry.

As more people join the KP fandom, some may ask, what genre is KInnPorsche?
Answer:Yes.
I’ve heard it’s a gay romance. Really? Yes, there will be a thorough exploration of tonsils and flicking of man tits. Also the world’s most emotionally intense hand job. You will have tears in your eyes.
What about the action? Someone is shot in the head in the first 5 minutes. There is a body count, so if you need blood, this show is here for you.
Torture?We have you covered. I recommend a transparent rain coat.
So it’s a serious action drama. Any comedic moments? More than you can imagine. How do you feel about a man dressed as a mermaid for punishment? Flying dicks? Flying hand grenades? Wacky hijinks abound.
Sexy moments? Bring a tall glass of ice water to watch this show. This is some off the charts chemistry. No bathroom is safe from these two. Or pool. Or window.
Adorable fluffy moments? Absolutely. Come for the murder but stay for the mafia boyfriend submitting to a million goofy pictures with his chaos gremlin. Also a wholesome side couple serenading each other, if that’s your thing.
Then it’s not a show with painful angsty moments. Au contraire. It will tear out your heart and FEED IT TO YOU.
Family drama? It’s all about family. And carp.
I can’t watch a show without a murder board. Is there a conspiracy and murder-mystery? That’s in there, too. Kimlock Holmes is working on it. He just needs to find the conspiracy and the murder and the murderer.
I need me some morally gray characters. How do you feel about dubious choices, followed by consequences, and heartfelt apologies?
Horror?Well, there’s a horror movie night…
I’m almost afraid to ask, but sci-fi/fantasy? Yes. Through the power of gay sex, our protagonist was completely healed of a gunshot would. Not even a scar remains.
