I’m not a classicist, but I suspect one of the reasons so many of the Greek gods are portrayed so unflatteringly was less because they were seen as villains than because they represented their domains. Of course Zeus sometimes misuses his power, that’s what a king does. Of course Artemis’s wrath is wild and painful, that’s what nature can be. Of course Hades snatched away a young girl from her mother’s arms, that’s what death does. This is one of the reasons callout posts for some gods comparing them negatively to ‘nicer’ gods are kind of missing the point.

I hate you polyester. I hate you rayon. I hate you acrylic. I hate you “40% cotton 60% other material.” I hate you polypropylene. I hate you “pleather.” I hate you nylon. I hate you synthetics and synthetic blends.

When I see people suggesting a joint third movie shared between Venom and The Amazing Spider-Man franchise and then there’s people in the comments like “no that would be terrible” I’m like shut the hell up this isn’t for you, this is for the lgbt community. If you aren’t gay you wouldn’t understand.

yellow is generally the population’s least favourite colour which is interesting to me. i have a theory that yellow is generally more appealing to people the Less saturated and deep it is, the more warm and less cool it is, and that faded pale yellow is more pleasing to the eye than mustard. can you all participate in a casual experiment and tag or reply with which shade you like best from this yellow shade chart. i’m hypothesising daffodil will be popular as an answer
#dandelion and honey are top 2#fire and canary tie for third place#and flaxen and dijon are bottom tier. terrible#that's my ranking

#letting the high dragon at Haven live intentionally#My Dalish Warden that's had to listen to wishes from the maker for the entire game; completely fed up;#hearing news about how the whole place was wrecked and the urn was lost;#''oh no! anyway''#Also i'm never hardening Alistair he's perfect as he is

actually i lied, the true uniting dragon age experience is seeing your favorite character and instantly having a joyous meltdown, similar to this

‘’Dragon age 4 might take place far enough into the timeline for the warden from origins to be dead’’ And you think I’d play it then? lmao
#dragon age#look to be perfectly clear: i am aware it probably would affect nothing#but also i'm a bitter bitch#i don't care about anyone else; if my warden is dead all of thedas may as well burn to the ground#also: imagine the emotional turmoil of the character they romanced who they've been with for decades#like. no?#who even likes the timeskips#i don't get it

"queer relationships don't have to conform to allo or amatonormative standards of intimacy to be valid" and "there is a trend of refusing to show men (or people we read as men) kissing or being intimate with each other onscreen because of censorship and homophobia" can both be true at the same time and i think people rly should approach those kind of discourses with more nuance cause im tired of seeing the same old shit on my dash

For some fucking reason, harry potter fans are like “I can excuse transphobia, misogyny, racism and the real life way jk rowling’s bigoted beliefs are causing massive harm for millions of people but I draw the line at firing johnny depp”

jk rowling dropped more of her transphobic bs the same day that a trailer for fantastic beasts 3 was dropping, when she KNEW attention would be on her. she is officially using the popularity of her series to spread her harmful rhetoric, misleadingly presented information, and downright lies.
imo there is no separating the series from her anymore. supporting hp stuff supports transphobia point blank. as someone who grew up with the series and was extremely attached to it until the transphobia started, it does pain me to say this, but we have to stop supporting all of it. trans lives matter more than harry potter.
#i'm going to be honest. at this point seeing anything hp related anywhere is an instant transphobe signal to me#Even things like fanart and stuff that 'doesn't directly support' her#she's been doing nothing but harm for such a long time I see no excuses anymore

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who didn’t offer play DAO because of the graphics or combat system and have subsequently missed out on some of the best companion dynamics and stories x
#STRAIGHT UP#also: no joke the graphics of the second one are worse#the elves look like Avatar alien knockoffs that got hit by a truck#And about the combat like. yeah it's not amazing because the game is 12 YEARS OLD#but from my experience if you just play on easy/normal you don't even notice.#Dao is amazing and I'll fight for it with my LIFE
