Appreciating Backs
When I was a young lad, and before I knew what it all meant, I found myself enthralled with menâs backs. Shy and intimidated by my own gender, checking out men from the back was generally safe and non-scary. Seeing men of larger size fascinated me. There was a power in their bulk! They seemed to demand a larger place in the world. They stood out from the crowd (whether they wanted to or not).
Few of us seem to realize how we look from behind. It is a hard thing to see, unless you have the appropriate mirrors. I am often surprised when I see a photo of my back - not the thing I am familiar with regarding my body. (that is NOT me above, nor are any of these images).
Seeing clothing pull and stretch in response to a broad male torso always catches my eye.
As well as how the the body moves and jiggles from behind. People watching is always more interesting when there are large men around!

#Crunchyroll#piracy#funimation#money hungry ass streaming service#rambling#Iâve never paid for a streaming service in my life thank god#I appreciated using others accounts but I personally cannot see myself paying this much for a service if I had the funds đ!#get back to pirating kings!!!#anime has always been one of the easiest forms of media to pirate anyway so yâall got this#CR is definitely not worth paying for though#CR is certainly not worth paying this much for even if itâs a yearly one time fee#capitalism#the fact that CR has always had pretty bad quality as a streaming service anyway#it buffers every time you pause or rewind anything

The final TF2 issue really got to me. Spoilers, but itâs the reveal that all of this suffering and murder and war over gravel and shitty land was for nothing but senseless, bottomless hatred. That the administrator canât even remember where this revenge plot started as she flashes through different false memories of her parentsâ deaths. There was never a tragic backstory or justification, only terrible people doing despicable things. And despite how crass and stupid and unserious TF2 is, the story subverts every expectation by showing the survivors and inheritors willingly breaking the cycle. Ms. Pauling lies to the administrator and chooses not to save her, and finally lets her die. (Hurts even more if you read into the subtext that Ms. Pauling is in love with the administrator.) She lets the final cache of Australium go and walks away from the burden and legacy of a century-old bloodfeud. Hale lets Grayâs daughter go and live her life freely. Spy is the first to arrive at Scoutâs house and meet his big family, finally takes off his mask, and helps with the kids. Even Merasmus exhaustedly makes peace with himself and Soldier and chooses not to curse him or something. Thereâs nothing to finish, no promises to keep, and no one to avenge. The only thing to do is break the cycle and walk away.
It feels odd how happy and warm everything is, but it feels so right and earned. These bloodthirsty, awful, violent men were expendable cogs in a machine of endless violence, and they found a way out. Itâs a genuinely great message about letting go the past that burdens you and finding the will and a way to hit the bricks, change, and be happy. Maybe they donât technically deserve happiness, but theyâve got it nonetheless, and theyâre not gonna let it go to waste. Theyâre still all crazy and violent, but on their own terms now and with people who love them! Smiles.
#tf2#rant#personal#the stuff with the administrator reminded me of the ending of breaking bad#except the admin isnât as self aware as Walt lol#that there was never a sympathetic reason or justification to fall back on#all of this was done simply because they were sadistic people#I really appreciate the writers avoiding the expected trope of the administrator dying and#Ms Pauling taking the mantel and becoming the next administrator. both as a either a girlboss empowerment thing or a sad but realistic end#like nah theyâre happy and doing well. we wonât torture these characters any more and doom them to continuing the cycle#theyâll be happy and youâll be happy for them

i really donât think itâs âtypical dragon age fandom nonsenseâ for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing thatâs remained constant are nods to our previous choices.
i wasnât expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i canât find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldnât have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? youâre gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldnât have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? youâre saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.
#dragon age#yes iâve seen john eplerâs explanation on only wanting to carry forward choices that they could âreally do something with.â#and i understand what heâs saying and iâm curious to see how those 3 choices they brought forward will impact the story!!#but iâm still disappointed. and i think telling people why they shouldnât be disappointed is just gonna make them More disappointed.#also donât really appreciate dev comments like âcareful what you wish for with cameos. it just gives us an excuse to find new and horrific#ways to kill your faves teehee đ¤đ¤â like okay???????? what???#alistair came back twice & could be fine both times. loghainâs inquisition cameo was so meaningful because who the hell expected to see him#again? leliana can straight up die in origins and yall brought her back anyways. like what are we doing out here.#also when i think of âtypicalâ nonsense for this fandom itâs people doxxing each other over fictional character opinions. or what#fictional side your fictional inquistor took in the fictional mage-templar war. or just plain old racism.#NOT âdamn itâs fucking upsetting that this excited replay iâve been doing of the previous games and all the recommending iâve been doing#for new fans to play the other games before veilguard has turned out to be pretty fucking pointless.â#might as well tell someone to watch a letâs play of trespasser and thatâs it.#11/26 in a hater mood so iâm turning rbs back on lol. go forth & be petty

holding up a grown man and a teenager your own weight with one arm each?? okay miss girl, I see those pull ups coming into clutch
#see I already knew Valerie was one of Danny's actual love interests#I just didn't see how they would get there since she was a bully#but enemies to lovers? I'm pleasantly surprised#this show overall is better than I thought it'd be#it can be a little predictable but the character writing is actually quite good#no two characters are written the same#and I appreciate them bringing back recurring villains#dp#danny phantom#liveblog#Valerie Gray

thinking about how the extra area added on to a pacifist run of undertale, the true lab, is about alphys's past mistakes. how it ends with the story reaffirming that, despite the pain she's caused, the thing that matters is that she has now made the choice to do the right thing. she's still worthy of her friends' love.
thinking about how undertale doesn't expect the player to get a pacifist ending for the first time. how it's more likely than not that the player will kill toriel the first time they battle her, how lots of players don't initially figure out how to end undyne's fight without killing her, etc. what it expects â not even expects, really, but hopes â is that the player, if they care enough, will use their canonically acknowledged power over time to make up for those mistakes.
no matter how many neutral runs a player has done before committing to the pacifist run, the thing that matters to the characters, to the story, is that you've chosen, now, to do the right thing.
compared to alphys, the player honestly gets off lightly, in that you're the only one (other than flowey) who really remembers any harm you might have caused. and any direct guilting the game could have done about it is long past at this point. instead, as undertale often does, it makes its point via parallels: alphys caused harm, and she knows it. she has committed to being better. in doing so, she has unlocked for herself a better ending to her story. and she deserves it. she's forgiven.
those structural narrative parallels are all over undertale, if you know where to look. and that's one of the things that makes it so fuckin' good.
#undertale#alphys#true lab#this inspired by a mutual's alphys posting#and a discord convo i had a couple weeks back about ut's stance on ''punishing'' the player vs the monsters for their actions#and thoughts i've had generally post a certain fangame with a color in its name about just how well ut is structured as a narrative#everyone rightfully praises toby fox's character writing but stuff like this i think flies under the radar a bit by comparison#and it deserves to be appreciated#there's obvious Lore reasons why the true lab is only visited in a pacifist run (what's revealed about chara and flowey)#but this is the other half of it: the message of alphys's story hits hardest on a paci route post neutral runs#toby fox is a good writer more often than not

Did you think I was done? Ahahahaha no, I have more.
Because chapter 70 of MOMU gave me the very dynamic between them that I missed so much, I just blacked out and started drawing uncontrollably lmao
Also. ALSO. I noticed a while ago that Prowl has the habit of..likeâŚconstantly frowning. So. I did a bit of research and made this graph.
In 70 chapters, Prowl frowns rougly 104 times. And the intensity of this gesture is very clearly correlated with the development of his relationship with Jazz, as you can see ahahahahah It might be wrong tho donât take me seriously Iâm not good with graphs
#maccadam#transformers#prowl#jazz#jazzprowl#fic fanart#momu fanart#I just#mmmmm#For the whole fic Prowl had to think twice about everything Jazz says#every information could end up being wrong#sometimes even without Jazz realising it#so when Prowl says#heâs trusting Jazz. itâs.#also it totally wasnât me googling âbelieving and trusting nuance difference in englishâ#the moment I realised the difference I think my brain started rollercoaster loops#he canât believe him but he found enough faith to trust him#while. YES. For the whole story Jazz couldnât fucking be believed#list e n#Jazz did a lot of things for Prowl#fucktons of big and small gestures to show that yes he likes loves and appreciates Prowl#Iâm so happy Prowl is returning this energy#like#remember that scene a while back when Jazz kissed Prowl? Cool cool okay. Did Prowl kiss him? nope. It was one sided gestures#*gesture. That kiss didnât make me feel like itâs truly something precious because Jazz started it but Prowl didnât do quite the same#but thisđ. This feels so much more important for me. Because Prowl#who is for the whole story was mister I calculate every chance of possible betrayal. Prowl whos entire personality is to trust nobody#Prowl goes. Fuck that I trust you. You feel me?#it wouldnât be the same if he said I love you. Because love is very much something you donât have a lot of control over.#but to trust someone? Itâs a choice Prowl had to consciously make. You see what I mean? I love it. oh fuck I ran out of tags..
