Okay can I be a bitter Anders fan for like. Just 2 minutes here lmao
Cause bioware released some game stats for veilguard and apparently 72% of players redeemed Solas which is like. Okay yeah the game kinda pushes you towards that. But when I think of all the shit I used to have to put up with just for enjoying Anders like at all and…
(This is not me being anti-Solas, I do not care if you love or hate him, but I am gonna say what he’s done is like. Objectively worse than literally every other companion so lmao. And that’s fine! You can still enjoy him! I’m not saying you can’t and it’s important to me that people understand that! I’m just saying he did in fact do objectively morally worse things in game than Anders did and I don’t think that’s really debatable. And I can’t really make my point here without saying that but I do want to make it clear this is not some moral condemnation of Solas enjoyers cause it’s not)
Getting anon hate on the regular, being told “oh you’re allowed to like Anders as long as you regularly talk about how much he sucks”, people gleefully describing how much fun they have killing him ON your posts about the fact that you like him, the devs making jokes about shitty fates for him when fans asked innocent questions about him, the absolute audacity of his writer to say half the shit she did in interviews (about bisexuality and mental illness, most critically), and then being beaten over the head again in inquisition about how Anders is the worst character to ever exist and there’s no redemption for terrorists who lie to you one time in the entire game and he deserves death or worse and that’s it
And now… 72% of people are down to redeem the guy who lies to you for 2 games straight and who did a lot of questionable things that includes creating the fucking blight and. Like. I guess I’m glad that Solas fans can live in a world where they aren’t constantly harassed and can give their ship like. A pretty damn good ending all things considered. And that the devs love Solas and actually give the option for that happy ending and have characters go to bat for Solas throughout the game and the most annoying thing they have to see are people making scrambled egg memes. I would not wish anyone to have to deal with the shit Anders fans had to put up with back then cause it sucked. It really sucked. And I’m glad it’s not being repeated with a different character, if nothing else
But like. Man there really is a difference when the writers actually like the character who does the thing, huh
#shut up nerd#anders#I’m sorry it’s just. really hard to not be bitter tbh#like the shit we as fans went through#just for liking a damn character#tbf I do actually think if the game came out today perceptions would be different#I think people would be more comfortable with revolutionary action now than they were then#but even still#it’s not even about that you know#it’s about people (both fans and at times the actual devs) being mean when they really didn’t need to be#and the DA trenches are probably why literally no harassment phases me anymore lmao but#that’s not a good thing slskd it’s just a useful consequence I guess#so yeah idk#am I jealous that Solas fans get to have a better experience?#yeah I can’t deny I feel a bit of that#but I’m also just. idk tired and sad for what that time was. and also glad that it seems to be over#but also a little bitter that I had to go through it when it didn’t need to happen at all#idk just feeling a lot here in this chili’s tonight lmao#(why do I say that I don’t think my country even has chili’s)#ANYWAY#dragon age#veilguard spoilers

#Today I worked from my cozy little home office all strung up with Christmas lights#Walls covered with art I’ve made over the past few months#I wrote 3000 words yesterday and I’m 270k into the first novel I’ve written since I was 16#After work I drove empty country roads to the barn and mucked about in the mud and listened to the rain roar on the metal roof#I sat in the quiet and listened to the herd#I broke in a new pair of cowboy boots and swept the barn aisle and the feed room corner to corner and fed and turned out 18 horses#And I drove home with the lightning flashing behind slate bulwarks that rose so high in the sky it took my breath away#Anyway the moral of this story#Is that a five years ago I felt like the floor was crumbling under my feet#and I was suddenly more alone than I’d ever been#And I told myself I’d take it as it comes#And I did#but it hurt#And for the first time since then I think maybe life is the same gift it was when I was a child#And I know that God is gracious#personal

lil hiatus away
#trump winning hit hard#harder than I thought because I didn’t think he’d win#we all met up the next day and had depression strolls#lots of vents and talks and anger#window shopped and actually shopped#looked at expensive guitars and little hamsters find fun in every place we go#we all made food with/for my niece and talked at my table for hours#played among us like old times till 1 am#got emotionally rejuvenated by the ocean#had plans with a friend that fell through so another time maybe or not idc anymore hahah she’s persistent though#I’m kinda over everything!#this 4:30 sunset always gets me bad for a while#on top of heavy world changes too like do that shit in summer#my dads friend Chris is visiting and that always makes me happy#I heard them cracking up watching South Park in his room last night was the cutest shit#reminded me of old times I miss living in Boston that whole era#wish we could have a redo#or even when he lived here with us after#maybe he'll move back this way someday#or go up that way since won’t ever be able to afford a house where I wanna live#or get out of the country all together#hiatus away was nice especially from Instagram and fb they're horrible places right now#unfollowing and unfriending everyone rn idc who u are#and honestly idky I still even have tumblr now I ask myself that a lot#more and more lately#have a good day#and take care of yourselves

if I were a statue in a temple I’d be fed so much better than a beggar who sits right outside the same walls. The statue isn’t ‘drinking’ the milk or the honey. It isn’t eating the fruits or the sesame seeds or the high-grade oil you offer. Not the sweets, not the homemade pooris. Not the other prasad. The tiny stone statue isn’t wearing or being warmed by the dhoti you donated. Neither is the man with the tattered clothes outside the temple walls. The pundit is pocketing that ₹500 you put in front of the statue. You ‘bathed’ a stone while reciting the tale of a god’s bath in Sanskrit. The milk, ghee and honey run into the drain.
Call me a fucking heretic but how is this right.
#When I say ‘fuck organised religion’ I don’t even give a shit about the colonising Christians now.#I’m literally just forever disturbed by Hinduism’s wastefulness. Call’s inside the house.#Now I can’t say this out LOUD if I don’t want a fucking mob outside my house bc#a cow’s life through stories of holiness is worth more in this godforsaken country than a human being’s#But the wasteful rituals of hinduism literally eat me whole every time I go to a temple#If I were buying a bunch of flowers and food I would give them to someone who needs to eat#Plain and simple. My god and I can have our heart-to-heart with a little diya/inside my HEAD. It’s roomy and comfy there#It does not require downing a litre of milk on a stone statue and I think a potential god ought to agree with me on that.

just came back from the graduation and they gave me a piece of paper and a teddy bear with a little cap and a club foot and a shirt saying “hats off to the grad”
#lemon man talks#Actually all of his limbs are a little twisted but I love him so much#I kinda wanna make him a little cane or even a wheelchair#Do you guys wanna see him#This was my English course graduation btw nothing that major#I actually dropped this course a few years before the pandemic and I just kinda taught myself english#And I came back this year just to graduate and have the diploma bc this might help me get into university on some other country#I’ve only been doing the course again for like a month#I skipped all the other levels bc I already speak English and even then I’m more fluent than my peers#Skipped straight to graduation man#Anyways#i have graduated!!

Where’s the ‘Ireland is the white leftist’s Mecca’ post? That was a good post.
#ra speaks#personal#I’m sure ppl more knowledgeable and articulate than me have said it before#but it truly is a little sickening to see the country held up as some gold standard and it’s people utterly infallible#all because they’re the de facto example of (white) people gaining sovereignty from their (white) colonizers through violence#(including terrorism) so you have these (usually usamerican) white ppl who love to identify w the Irish struggle for independence#but to the point of fetishizing it. stripping it from its (white European) context. and outright ignoring it’s still lingering effects#like I get it there are a lot of Irish who do get the colonization struggle because they lived it! but they also lived it#in a very different way than most other colonized peoples (who are not white)#also I just think Ireland (as a government) has not done as much as it could be doing for Palestine in the EU/UN spheres so. ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯#idk what my point was. putting a culture or people on a pedestal as an ideal never ends well.

I neeeed to find a clip of that scene where Clara dresses down Woodrow as he’s hauling Gus’s body back to Texas. The one where she says that Gus and Woodrow were too obsessed with each other to have room for any women in their lives (normal thing to say) and that they did nothing except make each other worse
#these cowboys would do numbers on tumblr#they’re not gay for each other (not even a little bit) for the first three episodes#and then Clara says that and Woodrow doesn’t even deny it. He just looks sadly at the ground and then spends months crossing the country on#the back of a mule to fulfill his friend’s dying wish#crying as we’ve never seen him cry over the grave of his friend#this friend who is more important to him than his own damn son#😐😐😐#idk. I AM reading too much into this#bc I do think it’s genuinely a really moving depiction of an intense male friendship#you don’t see many masculine friendships like this in any media ever#so I’m honestly really happy for all the straight men out there who can fantasize about platonic emotional intimacy via Lonesome Dove

Since Nintendo is releasing a remaster of Donkey Kong Country Returns for the the Switch, I SINCERELY hope that they make a remaster of another beloved Donkey Kong game from my childhood 😭❤️

#NINTENDO PLEASE#i’m literally begging you#i was like 11 when donkey kong country returns came out for the Wii#and my brothers and i played the shit out of it#none of us were actually any good at it but we still managed to beat the game somehow lol#BUT donkey kong jungle beat holds a more special place in my heart#more so than dk country returns#solely because it was the first donkey kong game we played on our Wii as little kids and i have more memories of that game for some reason#we weren’t good at that game either but it was still one of our absolute favorites#i will actually cry if Nintendo actually remasters this game one day#donkey kong jungle beat my beloved

re: lrb straight up as much as i wanna say marry superman i don’t think i could. bc i feel like in this equation he genuinely likes you and i am very fond of him but not like that. he’s one of the last people on earth whose heart i wanna break but it’s unavoidable. and i haven’t seen much of diana but i feel like if it wasn’t working out i could be like imma level w you i’m pretty sure i’m gay. and she’d take it pretty well and we could get a normal divorce. i do have to kill batman though that’s the correct option always
#right like you see where i’m coming from you have a little one night stand w a cute country boy and everything is fine#you marry him and it goes poorly and everything is not fine#admittedly i mostly only know him from being in batman books#bc that’s all i’ve really read hence my knowing diana barely at all#but i’m not gonna kill her and also i feel like we would both know she can do way better than me#‘so can clark’ OBVIOUSLY so can clark but i just feel like he’s the type of guy to genuinely fall for you in a fmk situation#if you’re marrying him#this is like the biggest red flag i’ve ever posted maybe ‘i would have to divorce superman’ but like i would#i DATED someone i really did like as a person but didn’t have romantic feelings for#and it was. uncomfortable in a very specific way#and it would be like that but like. More; Probably#bc you fucking live together and shit#bad times! but not as bad as being married to bruce thomas wayne. good god

I am not comfortable with the implication that the humanoid manifestation of a vengeful wisp spirit sent me on a fetch quest to get her 107 malevolent buddies to bring together in the form of a Spiritomb as her last act of “mischief” on the mortal plane
#no fr wtf is up with Vessa#why does either Spiritomb or a piece of Spiritomb not only have enough of a human concious to communicate with me#but also have enough power to manifest a human form in both day and night time 24/7 until I’m done collecting her buddies#did she scatter them or did the wizard that cursed her scatter them?#she says something about a magic guy right why are there magic guys turning little girls into wisps#like she does not do any bad at all other than make me interact with a ghost type Pokémon that is not vengeful spirit energy from her#maybe Spiritomb aren’t as fucked up as we thought?#or maybe Vessa is more fucked up than we thought lol also a possibility#also why did I have to chase 107+Vessa wisps all over the fucking country but Volo just gets to have a Spiritomb too#did he meet a different ghost child to go on a fest quest for different wisps and use a different old keystone to manifest them into spirito#I know the reason he has pjs is his team is a Cynthia clone but like I need Lore Reasons for him to have Spiritomb specifically#where’d he get it#pokémon legends arceus

mmmm what if hydra tahiti’d the maximoffs what if that’s why they’re so Like That
#not the. not the death part just the brain machine false memories part#don’t even have to change that much. all the trauma and the situation could still be real as hell#one little tiny change to put stark on the missile#i think it would be Neat#like of course if hydra had that tech they would use it#they have BETTER than that tech they have the mind stone#how do you turn some mostly normal kids protesting the violence in their country#commiting some mostly small and entirely understandable acts of violence against the system into international terrorists?#little bit of mental rejiggering goes a long way#didnt they even have smth like that in wv#where the bomb or smth abt it was false and not a real memory#idk i don’t care#GOD it would’ve been so good to like. actually use hydra’s layers or coercion and manipulation with the maximoffs#like. Any part of it#they barely hint at it i want More#aos goes hard on the mind control and the rest of the mcu doesn’t fucking do anything with it#except with bucky#and i’m sad about it come on please use what you set up

my parents are such funny people in the deeply insidious way that conservative parents always are. (i do not mean funny in an actual comedic sense, i mean it in an ironic / insulting one).
like ever since my stint in the hospital my mom has been fussing about making sure to keep my stress levels low because stress can affect blood pressure and how i need to take it easy at my job more. meanwhile while she’s saying this she’s - as always - loudly blasting her 48294884 deeply right-wing podcasts she tunes into religiously every single day and it’s like hmmmm. Have you not considered that maybe THESE and the shit they spout in them (and the rhetoric you and dad parrot in response) are perhaps a greater influence on my stress level than my job even at its worst
#the answer is no because the average conservative cares more about their conservatism than the people around them#our stark contrast in political views is known by my parents and we’ve gotten into several fights over it because they like 2 push me ovr i#like my mom yelled at me for 20 mins straight once during that stupid fucking ‘haitians are eating pets’ propaganda scare bc i told her i#didn’t believe her and then googled it to prove it wasn’t true. and she yelled at me for using google instead of taking her at her word#sorry now i’m thinking again about how when i was in the fucking er my parents were lecturing me on ensuring i dont get vaxxed there#like is your insane trumpie agenda that prominent to you? NOW ISNT THE TIME I’M AT RISK FOR HEART ATTACK & STROKE. IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.#Customer service does get very stressful but being in this house is so much worse genuinely.#bri.txt#like how the hell am i supposed to exist normally with minimal stress when i can hear my parents consuming podcasts talking about how lgbt-#people should lose rights. or with their dinner time conversations abt whether p*lestine deserves to exist or be genocided. I hate it here#[censored the country name to keep it out of the tags bc they dont need my personal rant in there clogging it]#which is like. an actual thing theyve discussed and it’s like god i hope this house explodes with all of us in it genuinely shut the fuck u#like what the fuck is wrong with you how do you have this little compassion for people because of your stupid fucking conservative agendas#and you think my JOB is the main source of stress in my life? when i’m still at my parents consuming this shit daily? My job? You think so?#i feel insane being here i need out

Im gonna crash out
#this is abt work I swear to god the people I work with are so fucking stupid#not the people that work on the shipping dock with me#but the dumb cunts who bring down their packages to ship out#who know nothing about shipping but argue with me the person who does all the fucking shipping#about international shipping standard#or about how all the US Territories are considered international when it comes to shipping and shipment taxes#like I get it ur a smart scientist who works for Medtronic making/testing medical supplies#but if I have one more person tell me I actually don’t need HS Codes to ship to Puerto Rico I think I might just kill them#or myself in front of them to change the trajectory of their lives forever#or the dumb bitches who tell me that they need a package to be overnighted to china#like you dumb motherfucker how do you think that is possible#when it doesn’t get picked up from our building in Minnesota until 5pm#and then it has to go from DHL’s local warehouse to their shipping hub to American customs to an airplane to Chinese customs#and then to whatever delivery service DHL uses for that country#not to mention import customs can take anywhere from 1-5 days like#and those dumb bitches have the audacity to tell me I’m the stupid one bc of course it can be overnighted literally across the globe#and how dare I (the dumb little emo shipper girl) tell them it’s not physically possible#I just gotta keep telling myself it’s better than starbucks#maybe one day I’ll believe it

Hi guys! Yujatea here! If you enjoy my work, I’d like to please ask for a moment of your time to consider helping this family I’m supporting! Shaima is a mother of four children, Abdul Rahim, Walid, Majdi, and baby Amal. Shaima is struggling to support her children since her husband disappeared, and needs urgent help with providing food and resources for them, especially as winter sweeps through Gaza! This family’s fundraising campaign (@familgazaamal1) is completely vetted and I’m trying to use my platforms to raise awareness on their behalf. I’ll be opening my commissions to raise funds for their campaign so keep your eyes peeled! I’ll also post their fundraiser link in my highlights as well! Thanks guys! Let’s do our part to reclaim kindness and uplift each other!
Here's a message from the family:
In Gaza, where conflict looms over daily life, children’s dreams remain a ray of hope. Abdul Rahim, a young boy, dreams of becoming a famous artist, using his drawings to tell the world about the beauty of his homeland. Walid, on the other hand, dreams of playing football in a big stadium, representing his country despite the obstacles around him. Majdi, a cat lover, dreams of becoming a kind person and helping children. Majdi, who dreams of opening an animal shelter to care for animals in Gaza. Even in the midst of war, these children cling to their dreams, believing that one day, despite the difficulties, they will achieve their goals. Their dreams are not only about personal success, but also about shedding light on a world filled with darkness. These dreams symbolize the resilience of Gaza’s children, showing that hope and determination can survive even the most difficult circumstances.
In the heart of the ongoing war, Shaima lives with her four children, constantly struggling with pain and waiting. Her husband, who was once the source of security and happiness, left a long time ago, facing the challenges of war far from them. Every day, Shaima makes earnest efforts to keep life going despite the hardships. She strives to provide food and shelter while trying to instill hope in the hearts of her children, who are still waiting for their father’s return, a father they know little about other than his absence. Her four children, despite their young age, carry great hopes in their hearts. The eldest, who everyone sees as the "little father," dreams of their father returning to embrace them as he did in the past. The youngest, on the other hand, wakes up at night searching for his father's voice, wishing for his return to feel safe again. Shaima's dream is every mother’s dream in this war: for her husband to return safely so they can live together again in peace and security. She dreams of the days when her husband filled their home with joy, and she prays for the end of the war so their family can reunite once more. Yet, amid the destruction and tears, hope remains their strength. Shaima knows that her patience and resilience are what keep the family going. Despite the difficult days, she continues to resist, dreaming of the moment when her family will be whole again, with her husband and the father of her children back home.
