‼️ Warning‼️ possible spoilers for the upcoming Dogman Movie

Okay so I think I’m hyping myself up a bit too much since it’s still too early to really say what’s going to go on in the movie but I had a curiosity search last night about the full cast for the movie and came upon two very interesting results from IMDb.

First, the “official” (not sure how official it is tbh) of the movie plot summary…

Oh my gosh, lil Petey really is going to be part of the move?! 🤩 I mean I know there were indicators because of Petey’s whiskers changing from having three whiskers on one side to two but it’s kind of nice hearing he is actually going to be in there.

And the focus is going to be about how he changes the relationship between Dogman and Petey?! 🤩🤩🤩🤩Oh my gosh, does that mean we can see an animated version of Petey’s redemption arc and maybe potential Detey shipping moments from their shared love for lil Petey? (I mean, they had some shipping moments before lil Petey came into the books but I feel their relationship got so much closer thanks to lil Petey - I have a strong belief that lil Petey is the biggest detey shipper 😆). I really feel I’m hyping myself up too much but I can’t help it after reading this 😍

And then when I looked at the full cast, this showed up…

Grandpa is going to be in it?! Petey’s dad?! 😱 He came up in the books when Petey was just starting to be a good guy so for sure we are getting a redeemed good guy animated Petey?! 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩

Flippy the Fish is going to be in there, which was also indicated in the trailers (no sign of his tadpole children/Molly at the moment sadly) and he was also a big character from at least two of the books.

And that’s where I have a slight concern. Trust me, I really, really, really want to see Petey becoming a good guy, a good father, and become closer to Dogman on the big screen but I’m worried they might try to put too much in the movie and from some other movies that I’ve seen that try to put too much in an hour, it sometimes never works out well (mostly they miss out on some important things or it feels too rush or they give too little attention to a main thing due to time and all).

I do feel I’m hyping myself too early and maybe I shouldn’t worry too much about them putting so many of the books in the move since they are comics so they might be able to get a lot of stuff in an hour but Grandpa doesn’t show up till book seven and a lot of stuff happen before then - will they even address Petey’s mom?

If anyone would like to share their thoughts/concerns as well, please do so. I’m feeling really pump for more information on the movie 😆

AOC is doing the right thing, I commend her for taking some sort of action. The supreme court is nothing but corrupt and are laying the groundwork for project 2025, they must be stopped! The blatant acceptance of bribes and ignoring legal precedent to hand down conservative judgements is nothing but dangerous to our democracy. If successful then we could swing the supreme court back in our favour, yes it's partisan but the republicans have been nothing but partisan so it's time to abandon the moral high ground and dig in for a long (metaphorical) war!

Okay I gotta ask cause I’m curious if this has happened to others to:

Have you ever engaged with something, whether it be watching a tv show, reading a book, you get the point, and have it be soured not necessarily because of what happens in it, but by reactions to it?

Because I have and I feel like talking about it since it’s bugged me for a while.

When the Lmk season 4 special came out, I was very excited and I watched it in a group vc in a server, but I’m gonna be honest, this viewing experience was absolutely miserable for me.

When the stuff with Wukong and Macaque, some of their backstory, past interactions, all that, happened in the special, everyone was just screaming and going crazy over shadowpeach, nobody was told to mute or quiet down btw, I think the owner of the server was joining in on it even, and all I wanted was to just watch the special and see how things are gonna go with the gang and the brotherhood, but that was all overshadowed and ignored by shadowpeach.

I can’t ever rewatch the s4 special without remembering that experience and it just sours it for me greatly, and it sucks because I was super excited for it when it came out.

And to be honest this just makes me nervous for future seasons cause I’m worried that shadowpeach will be a thing the show focuses on/make fanservice of, and that will be all people talk about, or at least the majority, to a point where everything else isn’t cared about. I’m not saying that everyone is like this or will absolutely do this, but it’s been a worry I’ve had in the back of my mind.

I wanna make note that I do not hate shadowpeach, yes I do not ship it, I see Sun Wukong and Macaque as purely platonic, but I’m not gonna hate on anyone for shipping it or talking about it just because I personally don’t see it. That’d be stupid, entitled and a waste of time.

I dunno where I’m really going with this, I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest cause like I said, it’s been bugging me for a while, but I’ve been hesitant to cause I don’t wanna come off as super negative or a hater or whatever. But I feel like I should also be allowed to voice my worries or minor grievances with something. I don’t like bottling stuff in because that just makes me feel worse, and I’ve been bottling it in for a while now.

i think one of my biggest concerns about viv's content (which has become heavier since seeing how she and raph have reacted to push-back against viv's mis-matched portrayals of SA overall but particularly both viv & raph's portrayals of SA in episode 4) was that she never actually had "good intentions" for what she's trying to say. or maybe she did at a point, but it got lost/blurred over time.

yes, it *is* a good message to attempt to give support to the "imperfect victim," the assholes who need a little empathy despite their bark and bite, bc they all still suffered horrible things that are unimaginable to some of us, and they deserve the love and healing they were denied just as much as the "perfect victim" does, but...

the risk that message can come with is emboldening assholes and "imperfect victims" who have no intentions of changing, who want to be and act horribly to others and/or themselves without consequence, who continue the cycles of abuse put upon them. tbf, this is generally unavoidable, but handling it poorly can amplify the numbers or confidence of said emboldened assholes.

the impression i always got from her work was "oh so i'm a monster? fine, then i'll act like one, deal with it" while ironically simultaneously being unable to handle being perceived as "a monster."

my concern from the start was that viv may not *be* someone who has genuinely been treated/hated unfairly (for her *entire* existence, she was def treated/hated unfairly for some of it) despite many attempts to change and "be better"--and she instead is someone who refuses to self-reflect outside of "people hate me" and wants to be allowed to be and act shitty w/o consequences "because trauma" w/o having to consider others and in an apparent effort to act fully self-interested. (which yes, all that can be a trauma response but it doesn't excuse you for how you behave/act towards others.)

it's not illegal to be selfish, but to live the kind of life where you continually act only in your own self-interest creates a very isolated and unstable foundation where you're continually burning bridges and generating misery for not only others but also yourself. we've seen this pattern continually with viv.

how i've seen viv act over time, and how she and raph have acted recently throughout the drama with episode 4, with viv seeming to continually adjust her defenses/like tweets to fit whatever argument she's trying to one-up... i'm not confident w/her intentions... and i've given her a *lot* of chances and empathy to attempt to understand where she's coming from, but i find my understandings for her becoming more and more contradicted by her own words & actions.

Happy milestone!! And yay for sleepover. I'll share a happy. I got courage to go to concert that I was afraid to bc disability but it worked out wonderfully. And they all mostly sang about mental health and it was just great experience. (Citizen soldier, skydxddy, icon for hire) I've been constantly thinking about it since Friday.

Thank you so much! And that sounds like a GREAT concert! I am SO happy you had a good time, as everyone should be able to enjoy music together. And I hope you don't mind, but your ask reminded me of this fic so I have to share.

Sing Along Forever by @jbankai89

Quiet, studious English Lit student Remus Lupin is dragged to a Punk Tribute show by one of his close friends. He had no idea what to expect, least of all catching the eye of a handsome singer by the name of Sirius Black. Want to join the slumber party? Send an ask!

You know the fact this even exists brings up some concerning questions. Why does the Collector have a tree in Belos mind?

We don’t see any trees like this in his or Willows mind. Which suggests it’s unique to the Collector. Which brings up he question of how it got there

Does this deal with the Draining Spell?

Is it still there after Belos became muckman? Because that suggests the Collector should be aware Belos is still around which he doesn’t seem to be

And is this coming back in the finale somehow?

Markiplier and the Titanic Tourist Submarine

Okay, I am fully hopefull that the Titanic Tourist Sub gets found, but things aren’t looking too good. At this moment of posting I think they have less than 24 hours of air, assuming some things did or didn’t happen, and they have yet to be found much less rescued. In other news, Markiplier has a movie coming out that if it is anything like the game should be a horror pertaining to being in a deathly situation aboard a small submarine. Now, we know movies sometimes like to reference disasters and tragedies, usually with the benifit of at least a few years between the reference and the movie. Considering the release date of the movie and the current state of the tragedy I think Markiplier is about to reverse Pompeii reference himself.

1 Corinthians 12:25-27 (NIV) - so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

tumblr tf2

I keep going on Tumblr thinking: “oh boy! What fabulous PG tf2 fanart will I find today?” Only to get jumpscared by the horrifying images of some *very* not family friendly things.

I came here to see some idiots shooting each other-NOT make out shirtless. I fear for my life and I am retiring to Pinterest where the Tumblr TF2 fans cannot find me.

I appreciate you all for making content but...

Fanfic writers, please know how to rate your fics!

If it has any form of sexual content (including item or food related!) it is EXPLICIT. not Teen not Mature, EXPLICIT

The ao3 rating system is different to the fanfiction.net system and the wattpad system!

(I'm sorry if this comes out extremely rude but everyone should know)

Please try to keep minors and people that are triggered by explicit material safe!

Thank you.

ASKING FOR OPINION/TIPS/SUGGESTIONS/SUPPORT:

Okay, I am planning to go back to academia for postgrad after maybe 5-6 years of leaving uni life?

How true is it when they said:

“Just be yourself when you write your personal statement!”

“the admission officer want to get to know you as a person when they are reading your application”

when writing personal statement for university application for a neurodivergent who’s planning to apply for inclusion/disability studies ?

(I’m AuDHD so I have no idea how literal I have to take these statements and whether I should take it at face value or if this is about performing acceptable amount of true self again)

I’ve read about the rank of this university and how great they are at providing support and alternative learning style, which is partly what interests me, but I still worry about being discriminated if I reveal about my disability as a part of my motivation to apply for study.

Please help!

I need opinion, suggestions, tips and support in any kindest and supportive ways you can offer now.

Thank you!
