Holy shit, Target is actually selling a shirt that says "queers take care of each other." We are three years out from them putting "FAG" on a sweater.

The idea of being whipped/paddled for no reason. Like “there’s no reason for your punishment, but I want to shock your balls and make sure your ass is so sore you can’t sit when I’m done with you.” I want that to happen to me so bad

Of course, you want it. You're a desperate little pain slut, after all. And the reason for it is right there, if I want it, it's going to happen.

Maybe I want to see how many swats of the paddle it'll take before you're sobbing in agony and begging for it to stop. Or how long it takes until you're confessing every depraved sin you've ever committed to me, like I'm the new deity you worship. You'll be squirming over my lap, trying to pass it off as a pain response, but I can feel the disgusting wet patch left from your leaky cock on my thighs. You'll be licking that up after I'm done.

And maybe I'm just interested in what kind of damage balls can take. People who have them are always whining about how much it hurts when you so much as tap them 🙄

So lets bring a cattle prod out, make you stand there with your arms behind your back and zap you over and over until you're even more of a pathetic mess of a man. Caning seems fun too. Should we try it back to back? I'll be nice and put some pillows down under you, so when you pass out the fall won't be too dangerous.

But let's be clear here, darling. Your agony would get me wet. Surely that's enough of a reason to let me do whatever the fuck I want.

daydreaming könig being a dick when he feels slighted and i know you have something to say on the matter 🎤

i absolutely do

Will be absolutely incensed if you take up the role of KorTac’s designated sniper. You’re a decent shot, sure, but you can’t possibly be better than him. He’s sure your position was awarded based on size alone (or lack thereof) and not actual merit, and if he knows otherwise deep down, he admits it to neither you nor himself.

All bets are off on the sparring mat. König doesn’t go soft while sparring, per say, but he’s cognizant of his size and normally affords his sparring partners some gentleness as a courtesy. Not you. His wounded pride gets the better of him, and he wipes the floor with you like you’re nothing. When he picks you up and drops you hard on the mat, the air rushing out of your lungs, your fellow operators, spectating on the side, let out a collective wince. He doesn’t help you up. It’s poor form all around, and his ears burn when he hears the disapproving mutterings of his coworkers. “I thought this was a sparring match, not a pillow fight,” he tries to jest, voice thin with nervous tension, but he doesn’t get a laugh in response, just sidelong glances and a dressing-down from Hutch after the fact. You give him a wide berth afterwards, and he tells himself that that’s just fine.

None of it is your fault, but that doesn’t matter. He shoulder checks you in the halls, makes snide remarks on comms when you flub a shot. He could’ve done it better, he thinks. If they’d afforded him the opportunity. Never mind that you didn’t ask for the position, didn’t make the rules on size restrictions — he’s childlike in his anger and frustration and it redirects onto you, and the worst part is something in him knows it’s unwarranted, that he’s being cruel, and the shame makes him squirm, makes his chest feel tight.

And when you finally snap at him? He has nothing to say in his defense. He feels ashamed when you confront him, like you’d shone a light on something ugly inside him. He’s trying to get something out in reply, grasping to make a snarky comment, but his mouth gapes open ineffectually, because he has nothing. Because you’re right, and he knows you’re right, and the fact he’s forced to acknowledge his own poor behavior makes his hands twist into fists at his sides, nails digging into his palms.

He feels like a schoolboy being scolded, like a child caught defacing a bathroom wall or picking on a peer. He hates it, he hates that you’re right, hates the hurt look on your face, hates the way your words choke in your throat, he swears up and down he hates you, because that’s easier than apologizing.

I've seen people say this is proof that EA is at fault for all of this nonsense surrounding Veilguard, and honestly, I'm willing to believe it is, because EA sucks ass and I hate them, and I believe BioWare can very much produce better writing when freed from corporate meddling*.

But I also don't think this should be used to protect the writing from criticism? Cuz like ... so you agree? You agree the writing was bad, in this product you sold people, for money? And you're shifting the blame onto the publisher? You agree it's bad writing that has your name on it but it's none of your faults specifically?

Even if I believe that, it's still ... You agree, right? You agree that the stuff people are saying is bad is bad? But you're saying it sucks so bad that they complain about it because it's not your fault?

Do y'all understand my dilemma here? Obviously don't harrass the writers personally or send them death threats, but that's just basic human decency to me. If you as the writer realize that something with your name on it is bad through no fault of your own, surely the solution isn't to complain that people are pointing out the bad thing you're aware of is bad? Surely you should go "Yeah that was bad. I agree with you all. I wanted to fix it but couldn't."

And you might say "well they're probably under NDAs so they can't say anything negative" but they ARE?? This right here is them implying the bad shit isn't their fault but the result of them "losing that fight" (with the execs)?

Do you get it? They agree that it's bad, but also saying it's not their fault it's bad, so stop complaining because it's very difficult for them. Broskis people paid for the game. And they are critiquing the shit you agree is bad. No need to get all wounded animal on the audience.

*Though I should note that indie devs still have a profit incentive, particularly the bigger ones, so even if we lived in a world without EA but with capitalism it's very likely BioWare itself would try to be more and more commercial with each new game, EA just sped up the process exponentially. El problema es el capitalismo etc.

I just watched a whole Hyundai commercial for more spider-verse animation but I'm so obsessed with the fact that they got Gwen and Miles' voice actors to stiffly promote an electric car

Hey there! Folks are asking you to boycott McDonald’s as they’re one of the corporations donating a bunch of resources to Israel’s military and they’re on the BDS boycott list! Here’s the link to that - https://bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Against-These-Companies-Profiting-From-Genocide

You probably didn’t know so just wanted to inform you!

Gahh I thought I just had a praise kink, but I think I have developed a you kink. I also have a bit of a thing for when doms call themselves mommy like: "Aw, so wet for mommy?" or "Dont turn away, let mommy see your beautiful face,"

Unrelatedly, the amount of times I've quietly rubbed one out to your voice at work when everyone thought i was listening to music-

[artsy-1diot]

hey toontown people who are also on artfight what if I made a mass attack with cog ocs i think that would be fun :3

[rjalker]

idk if anybody has said this to u yet but thank u for spreading awareness about how the public domain actually works, if i saw one more "you Have to call him willie and he HAS to be black and white" post i think id have a conniption fit

Thank you! It's very frustrating seeing all the fearmongering misinformation. I've been looking forward to this for the last year, but somehow I didn't realize that so many people had no idea what the Public Domain was at all...

I'm hoping people will actually put in the effort to do research and learn about these things so we don't have this problem every year, rather than everyone jumping on the "lets play attack dog for Disney's lawyers for free by screaming copyright infringement at every drawing of Mickey Mouse" bandwagon.

Like. It is baffling in the extreme how many people have instantly turned into corporate attack dogs over things that they do not in any way understand, but somehow they think they're being anticapitalist by doing so? They think they're being progressive by leaping to fearmonger and uphold Disney's stranglehold over the Public Domain by spreading fearmongering and misinformation that...literally didn't even exist before five days ago.

People now think that because Mickey Mouse is Public Domain, this somehow magically means it's literally illegal to draw Mickey Mouse in any way. It's confounding. And its just showing how deep the corporate propaganda runs. And I'm really really hoping people will start waking up and realizing how fucked up their reactions to this is and start actually learning about the Public Domain instead of immediately just spreading blatant misinformation about it that a five second google search will dispel.

I've now had to see four people proclaiming, with utmost self-righteous confidance, that celebrating the Public Domain, and celebrating that Mickey Mouse is Public Domain, is "corporate bootlicking for Disney" and "free advertising for Disney".

Because these people saw everyone saying not to give JK Rowling free advertising by continuing to celebrate her characters when the books have bigotry baked into them, and now think that they can just say the same thing about anything no matter what the context, even when they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Disney has done so much to destroy awareness of the Public Domain that people are now convinced that celebrating the Public Domain...is capitalistic greed. Really makes you wish werewolf transformations were in real life because god fucking damn do I want to maul some billionaires.

I am once again begging everyone, as a bare bones beginning, to their understanding of the Public Domain, to go watch this presentation by the Internet Archive from 2019 if you're able to. (Some of them have subtitles, some of them don't, I'm going to ask if they have a transcript)

Here's a relevant clip from video 14.

[ID: A short video clip of Joseph Gratz at the 2019 Internet Archive conference about the Public Domain, sitting in a yellow chair as he speaks, saying and gesturing along with his words: "That's the, uh, official, maybe impractical strategy. The unofficial, um, more practical strategy is...be bold! Right?" [applause] "If you're acting in good faith, people are not going, ah, most copyright holders are people of good faith, who do not want to go after people who are acting in good faith, who are not harming their legitimate economic interests. And so if you're doing something, even pretty boldly, that is, that you believe and have a basis to believe, uh, and a reasonable basis to believe is in the Public Domain, or is fair use -- going out and doing it is the way, um, is the way forward, rather than being endlessly afraid." His speech ends, there's a short pause, then more applause. End ID.]

okay real talk . i try to be polite and shit to anons mostly bc i have enough to deal with in my looney tunes ass life to really want to invite more conflict through fighting with people in my tumblr dot com inbox, but while i appreciate everyone giving me an excuse to yap it's worth remembering that i ... am not your friend [ludwig thumbnail] yknow. if you're gonna send something on anon to anyone's blog, you're going to be treated as a stranger who knocked on someone else's door to say some shit and if you're yapping at someone known for snarky replies and deadpan wit you're probably gonna get something along those lines. like you're on anon people don't know who you are, there's nothing identifying you as being different from any other anon, you're a stranger going to someone else to say something and expecting a reply from them - like idk man this is tumblr and anything can happen. so be aware of that i guess ???

fascinated by multiple torties specifically, but to answer the question i shaved my entire head a month into lockdown (did not take me long but tbf i already needed a haircut when it started) but didn't like it

[pinkcocoapowder]

it feels like they've flanderized the little to no character firestarter had. his "character" now is pacesetters bf and they let fans perpetuate this rather than state it in-game.
