#Brrr is rambling

He’s such a dickhead. (I want to braid his hair and hide zigzagoon in there)

the amount of misinformation about deadpool under a vid just rubbed me the wrong way so here's a rant

deadpool isn't a mutant, he's a mutate, he was born human and experimented on, even if you've only seen the movies you should know this😭🙏

hes a parody of DC's Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) but is still marvel

hes an anti-hero, he does the right things with the wrong methods MOSTLY. bare in mind it fluctuates depending on the writer but that's what he's classed as :)

currently thinking about how tommy said that ctommy waking up underwater every day in exile was a metaphor for his mental health, and that the further and further out to sea he got and the further he was sinking the more deteriorated he became and eventually he would end up unable to resurface had they not done something about cdream.

currently thinking about how if ctommy couldn't resurface, he'd drown in his own thoughts, believing his friends and family all hated him. nobody would see the kid they once knew in him anymore. maybe he'd never be seen again at all.

currently thinking about how ctommy saw one anxious, forgetful enderman lad, roped him into a crime, and took 100% of the fall when they didn't get away with it. ctommy could have ignored the situation. he didnt have to go to ctubbo and say "it was just me, man". as cranboo said, he could have said it was all him. there was evidence it was him.

but i think that after everything, ctommy would still be unable to live with himself if it'd been cranboo in exile instead of him. on the surface, he's a child. a soldier and a veteran and a criminal, yes, but still a child.

but beneath that, he's learnt. he's decided he'd rather throw himself into trouble than let his friends go through any amount of suffering.

i think that if cranboo were to ask, "why did you do that?" ctommy would sigh, that familiar shaky sigh we all know, and he'd speak quietly in reply, "i know what some of those bastards are capable of. i'd rather go through all that than have you do it for me. plus, it wasn't your fault."

or maybe that's just me.

what if aurora is actually too small to take mountain. she's tried so many times but she can only manage the head. she's happy to let him fuck her thighs, finger her, or eat her out---

but her favorite thing to do is get him thick and hard, lay his cock against his belly, and sit over top of the shaft. folds snuggled right around it so she can grind against the length of it until they're both a creamy mess.

I watched Jenny Nicholson's new video on disney's failed Star Wars hotel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0CpOYZZZW4), and there is some absolutely *fascinating* mental processes on display on the galactic starcruiser subreddit.

While many people are responding reasonably, some die-hard fans over there are spouting the absolutely unhinged, reality-denying, victim-blaming talking points she discusses in her video. There are several people who seem really invested in not just disagreeing with her, but insisting that she is not only objectively wrong but a bad-faith hater.

So I picked one of these people at random and scrolled back to try and see what their experience of the hotel was.

[Rambling musing below the cut. Unedited because I'm typing this because I can't get to sleep.]

Unsurprisingly, they insisted it was magical and life-changing and one of the best experiences anyone could have. However, these declarations of how important it felt to them were accompanied by no specifics about what about the experience was actually so great (with one exception, which I'll get to in a minute). Their very first post was about how they couldn't articulate why experience felt special.

I have some theories.

First, as Jenny alludes to in her video, there is a psychological pressure to justify the value in something a person has already invested so much money and time into. At one point, the redditor describes waiting on the phone on hold for two hours just to book an *add-on* for their trip. And as she says, the feeling of judgment from others only adds to this pressure. The redditor outright states that they feel uncomfortable saying they went to the hotel (outside the fan groups) because of how people react.

But I think it's more than that. As Jenny describes in her video (and as the redditor's description of their own experience matches), the experience was exhausting and overstimulating. The redditor describes being overwhelmed and overbooked, but also says they feel like they should have skipped out on sleep because they feel like they missed thing. And then, at the end of the second day - a literal 16 hour day of activities - there is a big finale, starting with an adrenaline-triggering "alarm," where you watch a cool live fight in the midst of a hundred other cheering, excited people. And this is the one positive specific that the redditor describes (multiple times, in fact!). They aren't a big fan of the sequels, but they "gasped when Rey showed up" in the finale. This isn't surprising at all! They were watching a live show while in a suggestible state and experienced an adrenaline rush, and their brain processed this as a magical experience.

This is reinforced by the redditor's descriptions of their nostalgia. They talk frequently about wishing they were in the hotel and wanting to return. But they specifics of what they miss are either vague or signifiers of the emotional experience (e.g. talking about how they miss the smell...because it reminds them of the hotel). And at one point, they mention that they miss the pre-trip anticipation almost as much as they miss the hotel itself.

This is a huge tip off that their interpretation of their experience was completely disconnected from the reality of the hotel. Whatever made the experience feel magical for them (whether or not I'm correct about my suspicions as outlined above), it had very little to do with any disney did or the actual quality of the hotel.

To be clear, I'm not invalidating the redditor's experience - if they say it felt life-changing and they don't regret what they spent, I believe them! I love all sorts of things in ways not reflected by any "objective" quality.

HOWEVER. I can also admit that! If someone criticizes something flawed that I love, it's not a personal attack on me! And my love for it isn't an justification for a) contributing to a narrative to encourage people to massively overpay for it and b) attacking people who didn't care for it and blame them for "doing it wrong"!

Especially - and here's the most interesting part - if I have many of the same criticisms of the thing myself.

Because while the redditor has only one specific about what made the experience great, they actually include lots of specifics about their experience. It's just that those specifics are all flaws. Here are some details of their experience as they actually describe it:

There were not enough character actors for them to actually interact with them meaningfully

The setup of the role play made them feel horrible social anxiety for a large chunk of the first day

They were forced to miss at least one major story event because of poor scheduling by the app/disney

Describing being randomly shown story beats disconnected of their actions within the roleplay/game (but describing it as 'I don't know how we accomplished that')

Nearly crying at one point because they were effectively locked out of a story moment

Wasting over an hour trying to figure out how to do a minor quest b/c of poor design

The experience the redditor actually describes is of a fairly-poorly designed, overcrowded larp that made them anxious, exhausted, and at times actively miserable, but ended with a really great adrenaline high. All of these things are objectively bad, and they all match onto Jenny's criticism.

But the redditor subjectively looks back at their experience as wonderful and magical. And so they are angry at Jenny, even though her criticisms map neatly onto their own experience, because she frames them as problems with the hotel. They seem to feel a pressure to defend their subjective experience by rejecting the possibility of any other interpretation of the experience, even the objective bad experiences of others.

In one of their most recent (of many) angry posts about how disingenuous Jenny is, they say, "For me, there's no reason to relitigate the debates surrounding the cruiser. We are more than happy to enjoy our memories from the time and let the rest of the "haters" just wallow in their hatred."

Three sentences earlier, they described how they used some of their precious time inside the magical hotel to try to prove she was lying about not being able to see the dinner show because she was placed behind a column.

The redditor cannot simply enjoy their memories from the time. Because even in the middle of their experience, they were forceably attempting to prove that all the money and time and expectations they invested *must* have been objectively worth it. Jenny's video is threatening because the redditor cannot pretend that they just had different experiences, that Jenny got unlucky while the redditor got lucky and had fun.

After coming home they feel unhappy, which *must* be because the experience was so good that they are dissatisfied returning to their 'normal life'. The anxiety, the wasted time, even the tears? Those weren't the experience, the experience was the adrenaline rush at the very end. It was life-changing. It was magical. It was worth it. All of it was worth every penny. It had to be.

Something about Alastor always keeping his vest buttoned up while Vox's vest is never buttoned up.

Not only that but we quite literally see Vox outside of his vest while he's alone with the Vees being rather happy and carefree unlike Alastor where he seems uncomfortable outside of his vest.

Closed off and open despite their similarities and differences.

Marcille was top of her class which implies that she knows a wide variety of magic, yet, explosion magic is always her go-to and honestly she's very real for that.

I chose not to, might do it later though for funsies.

Anyways here is Savanaclaw:

They have a decent-ish background! I made the ends of their feet and hands a bit darker to try and mimic animal paws as well as gloves if that makes sense?

This is my interpretation of them for this au, you can imagine them differently.

This is also an option:

Yes I drew them by memory and yes they look bad, it’s on purpose for comedic effect.

TLDR: i love psychology and i was curious about joe’s mbti. he’s probably an istp or istj.

i’m bored and i was thinking about joe’s mbti. and after thinking, i FIRMLY believe this man is an ISTP/J. allow me to explain and break it down, and also yap because i love psychology, and joe.

so the myers-briggs type indicator is a unique psychological framework that categorizes people into 16 personality types based on four different dichotomies:

- extroversion (E) vs. introversion (I)

- sensing (S) vs. intuition (N)

- thinking (T) vs. feeling (F)

- judging (J) vs. perceiving (P)

• Extroversion (E) vs. Introversion (I)

without a doubt, i think joe is an introvert. he’s more reserved and to himself than other NFL players. his introversion also shows when speaking; in his press conferences for example, you can tell that he takes time to think about what to say and how to say it. i think joe’s extroverted side does come out with friends, as we’ve seen with the hard knocks episode where he’s talking with tee and ja’marr (my favorite trio ever 🥹). he seems content with being around close friends and family more than anything.

• Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N)

people who are sensors are more detail oriented and practical; they focus on the facts and information in front of them. intuitives are more abstract thinkers and focus on the future. with that being said, joe is big in terms of sensing. a good example of this would be joe’s recent presser, in which he mentioned ja’marr’s stats when asked if he believed he would be a potential triple crown winner. on the field, with his talent in quickly reading a situation also shows his strength in sensing and working with the details around him.

• Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F)

when it comes to decision making, thinkers are more objective and honest, being straightforward. feelers rely on emotions and how things make them feel, as well as others. joe is definitely a thinker. a common trait in thinkers that i think he’s most known for is being cool and reserved (JOE BRRR 🥶). on top of being reserved, joe doesn’t really take things personally. he’s pretty carefree and doesn’t worry about doing things to appease others; a lot of this translates into his fashion in my opinion. thinkers are also motivated by achievements, which i think joe really prioritizes. he does possess some feeler traits; i think he’s pretty diplomatic and aware of how to say or do things without unnecessarily hurting someones feelings. but he’s definitely a thinker.

• Judging (J) vs. Perception (F)

now this is one i’m truly iffy on, because i think joe possess both judging and perceiving traits. judgers are very straightforward and organized. they have no issues with following the rules. i think that when joe has a goal, he’s focused and zoned in on achieving said goal. if something needs to get done, then it’ll get done. however, perceivers are spontaneous and okay with “going with the flow”. i think a good (but sad) example of this is joe’s take on the bengal’s season this year. obviously the playoffs are a common goal, but after their loss to the steelers, i feel that joe accepted the team’s fate and is more concerned with moving forward and seeing where the rest of the season will take them. overall, i would say joe is a bit more of perceiver, but he can be a judger, depending on the situation.

Can y’all imagine the chaos that would ensue if we suddenly decided to splice together the way Grian plays Phasmophobia with Watcher Lore?

Specifically going off what is seen in the videos on his second channel, as I don’t know anything that happens on streams-

Grian’s play-style (most of the time) for this game is: Watching. He often stays in the van, monitoring the cameras and telling his friends when activity is happening or their sanity is low.

And, in many of his videos, the times when he does die in a hunt are mostly due to the fact that he can’t see- the ghost, obstacles, hiding places.

Now I’m not saying we SHOULD start dropping Watcher lore into Phasmophobia- I just have an obsession with Watcher lore and got bored so I wrote this

[emelinstriker]

no, you will not get context. it's so much more funny without.

[pain-is-too-tired]

hi, kinda random but what's your fav valgrace headcanon?

I'm having a slight half fixation on them rn (if that made any sense) and I'm interested lol

<3

Both are aspec

Demi-Gray Leo and Nebularomanic Jason(also,Apagender Jason has my heart as well but that's a different thing dhdh)

Leo fell first but Jason fell harder.

So hard actually. He has it so bad 😭

Jason just a lovesick puppy, Leo doesn't know how to feel about how affectionate Jason is. Especially cause it took forever for Jason to really figure out "okay yeah... this is a crush."

He just thought he just had very strong platonic feelings for Leo. The poor guy is pretty affectionate with everyone after all, so he doesn't really think much on the fact he was a bit more affectionate with Leo fdgdg

Leo figured out he had a crush on Jason not too long before the Argo II was finished, but he didn't want to ruin their friendship,especially with Piper and Jason dating at the time, and he wasn't sure about coming out either so he just pushed down his feelings.

After the giant war Leo struggles even more with burying his feelings, and he goes to Jake since he's both his brother and the only one he could talk to who didn't have some connection with Jason as well.

Jason goes to Nico first, but at some point ends up telling Piper as well. And it ends up with Nico,Will and Piper trying help this poor boy with one of his many identity crises.

Leo also ends up telling Will at some point (I hc they're best friends cause why not) and Will doesn't tell anyone but immediately is now doubley playing wingman for the two idiots.

That and helps sympathize with Leo having to deal with the obliviousness of a son of the Big 3.

"I was pinning for like 3 years before Nico took notice. You gotta be more obvious dude."

"Damn it."

Them being disasters my beloved.

Also. 4'11 Leo and 6 ft tall Jason because I'm a sucker for height difference (there's a reason two my top ships is them and Masonyew. Ftgdg)

My takeaway from this blog is that I need to be more insane about c!Scar and also watch some HC 5 from him. I think I watched some HC 5 from Mumbo (was that his ocean monument base? Maybe)

Don't ask what happening here, just a pair of Vexes making some tasty soup! Make sure to eat your greens. >:)

Scar and Cub have done some absolutely WILD stuff canonically and yes, you should be more insane and watch some s5 lol.
