#-is still furious about it

[sidesteppostinghours]

ok. question.

ortega ended up hallucinating sidestep after they "died", but sidestep doesnt know about that. they know it got bad, but never the full extent of how their death affected them. so if your sidestep Did learn, if they found out ortega looked for them in every little piece they could, would that change anything for your sidesteps? would their relationship with ortega be any different?

Leftists on tumblr: listen to marginalized people about their own oppression

Jewish person: X thing is super antisemitic

Those very same leftists on tumblr: OH SO YOU SUPPORT MURDERING BABIES THEN? GENOCIDE APOLOGIST

Jewish person: here's an exhaustive list of sources going back thousands of years proving that X is antisemitic.

Leftists on tumblr: Doesn't count, colonizer!!!!!! /gets X tattooed on their forehead, puts an X bumper sticker on their car, calls people Genocide Supporters when they say "hey X is not allowed here because it's antisemitic"

Leftists on tumblr: "Why do Jews keep complaining about leftist antisemitism? I don't see it; it's clearly a distraction from talking about those Noble Savage Palestinians. Prove to me you're oppressed, X! X X X X!! CHANTS X FROM THE ROOFT0PS"

Jews: we don't super trust you guys not to call for our extermination, since you have repeatedly at every past opportunity

Leftists on tumblr: Look, I know antisemitism is annoying, but now is not the time to discuss blood libel when those Evil Jews are eating Palestinian babies!!! HASHTAG X

Jewish person: *rubs forehead as Turning from les mis plays in the background* (nothing changes, nothing ever can / round about the roundabout and back where you began)

Leftists on tumblr: SEE? THEY WON'T EVEN HAVE A GOOD FAITH DISCUSSION WITH ME 😭

Leftists on tumblr: "anyway discussions of antisemitism are a DISTRACTION. I am good person who is being very helpful and only hurting bad people who deserve it, like those filthy Jews— I mean zionists"

having svsss au ideas beyond my station

thinking. shang qinghua goes on a mission as a young disciple to some town in fuckoff nowhere and finds himself in the qiu household. and there he finds a young shen jiu, undergoing the plot he originally intended for him and hadn't realised had become real and he's so young oh god hes so young why is he so small what do you mean that part was real, he hadn't kept it why is it real—

and he panics and sneaks him the Fuck out of that house

and he's not sure what to do but surely sending him to cang qiong will fuck up something in the plot and he can't come under even more investigation and cang qiong tryouts dont happen for months anyway and his system would probably never allow it (it doesnt. it would interfere with yue qingyuans story) but shen jiu is refusing to stay anywhere near this place and wants to learn cultivating to protect himself make sure nothing like this ever happens again and sqh panics harder and

calls mobei jun.

okay. on second thought, maybe this was a bad idea. but he stumbles over himself and shushes baby shen jiu's very understandable freaking out and asks his king for the first thing hes ever asked for other than his own life.

is there any way this human child could learn cultivation in the demon world?

Been watching TF Animated and i love how Animated Sentinal is such a snobby lil coward. I want an AU where he has a massive crush on Optimus and keeps trying to shamelessly flirt (and fails every time) with him when they were on a team together. After the accident with Elita-1 Seninal tries to use it as an opportunity to get Optimus to himself. "Ya, know it doesn't look good for you Optimus. But if you want i can put in a good word for you. All you would have to do is agree to my proposal." "I'd rather marry a Decepticon before I would even consider you as a mate." "Ugh have it your way! Let's see how long it takes for that sass of yours to wither away when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere surrounded by washouts. When that happens you are welcome to call me." When Optimus and his crew lands on earth and the whole situation with the earthspark happens Seninal is furious with Optimus's lack of attention on him. But poor Optimus is now having his crew witness Seninal's creepiness towards him. Bumblebee: Geez, I don't remember Sentinal being so... Sari: Creepy? Gross? Desperate? Ratchet: Delusional. Optimus: He's always been like that when it comes to me ever since we've met he's been obsessed with the idea that we would perfect together. Optimus's crew becomes super overprotective of their Prime whenever Seninal visits now. They all make sure that mech doesn't lay a servo on Optimus.

Could we have a sneak peak of Robb1? I cannot wait to see him and the twins

Sure, have a tiny snippet of Robb wrestling with his emotions.

Robb paused outside Jon’s door, then rapped lightly with his knuckles. A few moments passed before the door opened, and it was not Jon who he found himself staring at, but rather his smaller counterpart. Willam, Robb reminded himself. “Would you like to come in?” Willam asked, gazing at him with such raw longing that Robb found himself torn between tenderness and fresh fury. Did Father even look in upon them since hiding them away in Jon’s chamber? A glance past him revealed no Jon. His twin sat on the bed, his gaze at Robb more wary, and telltale plates from the kitchen were stacked on the small table in the corner of the room. Their supper, taken alone to spare the family further shame today, when it was their father who should be shouldering its brunt.

When the company that makes your samefood changes the recipe

[thevalleyisjolly]

I think part of the reason why Ten and Donna's relationship is so compelling to me is that they share the same main character flaw. In RTD's memoir, he described how he created each of the main companions with a central character flaw. Rose was selfish, Martha was selfless to the point of self-denial, and Donna was self-absorbed. And while all of those flaws were mirrored in Ten in different ways, I think Ten's central flaw was, like Donna, being incredibly self-absorbed.

While I don't dispute that Ten could be arrogant and vain, I think the degree to which he was those things sometimes get exaggerated. Every Doctor has had instances where they behaved arrogantly, as if they were the ultimate authority in the room and were owed everyone's attention and even unquestioned obedience. Many Doctors have preened over their looks or boasted about their intelligence and their achievements, whether as a strategic move or (more often) just because they felt like reminding everyone they were the smartest person around. Arrogance and vanity are recurring character traits across many of the Doctor's regenerations, and while Ten has displayed them more loudly and infamously than other Doctors, I think the unique flaw that better defines this regeneration's character was his propensity for getting completely caught up in himself.

Consistently throughout this regeneration, he ignored or just failed to recognize other people's needs because he was so preoccupied with his own issues. Infamously with Martha, but also with most of his companions past and present at some point (Sarah Jane, Mickey, Jack, Donna) and certainly with countless ordinary people that got caught up in the danger around him. The thing that makes this self-absorption rather than callousness or deliberate cruelty is that it wasn't because he considered them unimportant. Ten frequently affirmed how important every life was and how valuable the most ordinary life was, and he really believed it. But as much as he believed it, he constantly struggled with the practice, with prioritizing ordinary people when he himself was embroiled in turmoil (whether active danger or his own personal issues). He believed fundamentally that each life had value and importance; he just saw whatever he was going through or doing at the moment as having even more value and more importance.

Ten didn't lack compassion for others. Indeed, he felt very strongly for people who were in distress and regularly put himself at risk to try and help them. But he often struggled to look beyond himself - his own concerns and demons and ego and fears. If someone's needs or feelings align with his own or seem to be relevant to the issue at hand? Good! He'll try to help if he can. But if someone's needs clash with his own, or their opinions challenge his own view, or their feelings push uncomfortably against his own emotional state? All of a sudden, he's very busy, he becomes rude and dismissive, he clams down, he acts ignorant, and if all else fails, he runs away.

The Chamelon arch storyline in "Human Nature"/"Family of Blood" is incredibly fascinating because John Smith embodied the Doctor's self-absorption on a much more recognizable, human scale. He was happy to be benevolent and kind when people acted within the sphere of what he knew. As a teacher, he recognized when a brilliant student was downplaying his intelligence to avoid attention from school bullies, and he tried to encourage Timothy within the bounds of what a teacher could do. But when people started disrupting his own little world of happiness -particularly Martha or his students interrupting romantic moments with Joan- then he became curt and dismissive and even more obstinate about his preferred way of things. All things that the Doctor also does, but which we notice less because he's usually the perspective we're rooting for to solve everything and save the day so is it really a big deal if he's rude towards another character? And then there's the original act of self-interest that Joan calls the Doctor out on at the end - he brought death and destruction to this village that he chose on a whim, without thinking of anyone else, all because he personally didn't want to confront the Family even though he was capable of stopping them.

All this to say that this flaw is part of what makes his relationship with Donna so compelling to watch. You have these two fundamentally self-absorbed characters on a journey together and they inspire each other to start doing better than they were before. They're growing together in the same direction with each other and because of each other. Donna, seeing the whole wide universe with all the good and the bad of it, realizing not only how small her worldview has been until now but then reaching out to make connections with people she wouldn't have given the time of day to before. The Doctor, absorbed with all his own burdens and traumas and memories and promises, being furiously and desperately shouted at by his best friend to do something. Save someone. It doesn't matter how small the act or how insignificant they are in the greater scheme of things. Never mind the greater scheme. Never mind us, never mind you. Just look at the person suffering in front of you now and help them.

He hasn’t hugged his momma properly in over a year. The last time he was home was Christmas 2023. In February he set off to Asia and the last time he was seen pre-arrest was during his roommate swap in August 2024 where his family wasn’t present. He probably hasn’t even met his newborn niece (his sister Luciana delivered at some point during 2024)

you know the itty bitty details like this just make things feel worse right??? 😭

Possessive Nature

Danny was worried, Undergrowth was coming for a visit and that would be completely fine if Poison Ivy wasn't blocking his way home while proclaiming that her babies deserved better.

Sam had gotten both ghosts to talk and now they had a sort of uneasy truce, and Danny needed his help to stop killing the plants in his new apartment in Gotham so he ended up asking for some advice, to which Undergrowth agreed.

Danny's first thought was that he was screwed, Ivy was going to meet Undergrowth and they would try to rule the world, maybe put it in a state of permanent vegetation; that would be good, if they didn't plan to destroy everything that was there. His second thought was his mistake in thinking of Gotham as an "uneventful" place. His third thought was to call Batman.

Unfortunately he couldn't continue thinking because the Ancient of nature arrived at his location, he surveyed all the greenery and seemed to marvel, before noticing the halfa in the center of the whole mess. Danny would have been long gone if Ivy hadn't planted a stupid variety of blood blossoms during her attack; he couldn't do more than greet the Ancient with a grimace, it was obvious that he couldn't move much.

The wonder on Undergrowth's face faded and he frowned, summoning his own ghost flowers and staying away from the deadly variety of blood blossoms.

Bright side: Undergrowth and Ivy had not teamed up to rule the world.

Downside: He discovered how possessive ghosts are as Gotham became the modern day Amazon.

Fuck, he really didn't want to explain it to Batman.

Agree about the bluegreeners part but the ship was also not popular and gmm works on profits .. most people who supported the ship didn't care to watch their series.. half the quotes on the announcement starts with " i didn't watch their show but/ i don't follow this ship but/ I haven't been keeping up with them but " . PC also had (although considerably less) fans but PS was able to overcome all that because that ship worked and hence became popular..

Anyway, Atp I'm also starting to think o is cursed. I hope l gets a start over. I don't think on is ever coming back. Wdt will happen to their upcoming shows? Total replacement like " The Next Prince" or new ship for either of them like 10liners

not being as popular as the big ships is not a good enough reason to drop them, especially when it's fueled by haters bc this is just them giving in and up (gmmtv, not OL). Plus disbanding them will give them even less profits than just letting them vegetate even without projects. But they did have 2 projects lined up, which are both promising in terms of profits and engagement and definitely could have contributed to a recovery plot- and acting-wise since Kidnap really did not have the best script. So all this makes absolutely zero sense from a business standpoint imo. but what do I know.

But this is also about them as individuals and after that stunt, Ohm's chances of ever having a partner - no matter if permanent or not - that both him and his fans are comfortable with went completely out the window so BL is kinda over for him. which might sound sulky but him leaving the company altogether would be the best option atp. his so-called fans obviously don't give a shit about his career and what he wants so no matter what he does, he will lose either way. Which is a fucked up situation for anyone to be in, no matter if you like them or not. Ohm will be fine though, with his career thus far he could easily retire at 25 lol.

As for Leng, after reading a bit into what he has faced in the last few months, I sincerely hope he recovers from all this in some way and I hope he gets another chance at growing as an actor and does not leave gmmtv but he should probably step down for a while as well, at least from BLs. The chances of him stumbling into a recovery ship like Perth did are very low imo. That being said I really hope their roles in OF2 will be recast but I think they will. ppl are already pitching AouBoom but idk I haven't thought about who would fit the roles yet. I just hope both Ohm and Leng leave both OF2 and Mu-Te-Luv asap. this is for their own good anyway.

HMC fandom didn't make enough content with "all readheads are witches" stereotype, which obviously exists in our world and probably doesn't exist in Ingary because of how common the term "witch" is there (and also used for all females who practise wizardy/magic).

Imagine Mari once jokingly pointing at Sophie, asking "Are you a witch?" and poor woman is STRESSING for the rest of her day thinking that that random explosion of the oven might have been suspicious after all, before Howl explains that it's actually just a stereotype back from medieval times.

Husk, standing outside with the rest of the hotel, watching Alastor and Vox fighting violently enough to destroy half the city

Knowing he has One Shot to be the funniest motherfucker alive (metaphorically) and also get back at the deer.

"Why are they doing this?" Charlie asks, preddictably.

He schools his expression, takes a swig, and tries for slightly rueful nonchalance. "This... is why Overlords shouldn't date overlords."

The chaos that one little sentence unleashes is glorious.

Which makes it funnier if its true, and funnier still if it's not and Charlie tries to offer self-help/how to get over a bad break-up books to Alastor who has No Idea what the fuck is happening as he returns to the hotel.

I just think Tallulah gets to be upset about this. “It’s not Wilbur’s fault” “He’s not a bad dad” “He loves his daughter so much” yes! These are all true! And it’s not his fault! But he’s still not there. And Tallulah has gone through so much and still hasn’t seen him, the one time he was around was the one time she wasn’t, and all she has are letters and “I’m thinking of you always” and things that used to be theirs together, but he’s still not there. She’s waited and she’s been patient and she’s loved him all the same, and he’s still not there. Like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before, from the happy milestones to the traumatic events, he’s still not there.

She knows that it’s not his fault, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s absent. That in and of itself just adds to the sorrow, because she knows why he’s gone, and she’s been told time and time again it doesn’t mean he doesn’t care, she knows this - it doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting, that it doesn’t hurt, that she doesn’t yearn for her father to be there more than anything in the world, and he’s just not there.

So yes, she gets to be upset, and be caustic, and stomp her feet and write bitter messages, and be angry and vitriolic, because she’s a little girl missing her father, who feels things with her whole heart and soul - and that means she gets to feel the ugly parts of it, too.

Jake who puts his whole soul into doing TikTok dances cause it makes Suki happy to have both of her white boys dancing, trying to throw something back that they don’t have. Him leaning into Tej as they discuss mods for the car Suki is looking at and who grins instead of scowls when Tej messes with his hair. That is the day that the daggers discover that they don’t know Jake, they only know the version he allowed them to see
