[marscantread7]

In honor of bhm, I'm gonna try to do smth stupid and silly

How the LIs would react to u cutting off ur locs😭💔

Js smth really short and stupid

Xavier

- He truly wouldn't gaf. He'd be a little confused bc u stayed preaching abt how u would never give into societal pressure and chop ur locs off, yet... here we r

- "Did societal pressure get to u?" "The impulse of change and becoming a new person did😍😍😍" okay buddy js say u didn't want locs anymore💀💀💀

- He's truly confused on why u cut them, bc he's walked in on u more than one time cradling a loc, shushing it like a baby

- "Uh-" "GET OUT👹👹👹" and the door is slammed shut

Sylus

- He wouldn't really care, but the twins would be all over u

- "Ur bald." "Very bald." "??? I still have hair, it's js really short???"

- When ur hair grows back, this fucking sap would help u style it bc ofc he did the fucking research on ts. He'd even give u the money to get ur hair braided when u didn't feel like doing it urself, eventually learning different styles himself so u won't have to go through all that trouble

- "Passion Twists r truly calling my name, but I'm not doing allat😒💔" "I could do it for u." "I'm fine w/ u styling my hair and practicing on it, but that's not the same as braiding/twisting my hair Sy." "Who said I haven't been practicing different braiding styles?" Cut to u crying ur eyes out bc never in ur life has anyone ever put in this much effort for u

Caleb

- He would pretend not to recognize u💀💀💀

- "Hey Caleb!" "Who r u?" "Dpwm, I'll fish my locs out the trash and whoop u w/ them" "???"

- He won't stfu abt the past

- "I remember when u first got them all those years ago. Ur smile was as radiant as the sun." "I'm starting to think u had more of an attachment to them than me😕"

Rafayel

- He would scream in agony, cradling ur bald head

- "MY BABIES WHY WOULD U DO THIS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭" "???"

- His dramatic ass would give u the silent treatment for a week before appearing w/ 10 different hair growth serums, and some hair products for "healthy black hair"

- "I did extensive research on this. I want baby locs in ur hair by next week." "I don't want locs again" "Do u hate me?" "???"

Zayne

- This freak bruh

- "U really took new year, new me srsly." "Zayne... it's July...." "😕"

- He'd be unphased by it, really. Although, once ur hair fully grew out and u complained abt styling it, he'd make snarky comments

- "Ugh! Why isn't it coming out the way I want it to???" "Wouldn't be having this issue if u kept ur locs😗😗😗" "I'll show u an issue when I shove my fist up ur ass"

--------------------------------------------------------

God, bring me my own Sylus cause I'm so sick of doing my own hair😭🙏🏾 Happy Black History Month to my fellow black lads players. Js smth really short and stupid I was thinking of. I might do one w/ matching bonnets, I'll have to think on it though. Have a great day evb😛😛😛

Why (stage) Nessa is Ableist: An Essay

Disclaimer: I am disabled, but not a wheelchair user. I am chronically ill (EDS + all the bs that comes with it) and neurodivergent (ADHD, SPD, awaiting an Autism eval).

I will start with my personal perspective. My gripe with Nessa is that she is spoiled, her father favors her, and she expects everything to be done for her and soaks up everyone's pity. I'm not saying this never happens, but I feel like a lot of people just assume our parents coddle us and that our lives are easier, as if being disabled is some sort of advantage, and I've even seen us represented as going around looking for people entrap into helping us. When I was in high school, some kids found out I had a 504, became jealous (bruh, I'm jealous that you were born with high-speed internet brains) immediately assumed I was an arrogant prick who thought I deserved "special treatment," and took it upon themselves to make sure I felt like a burden. Believe me, being born into a world that doesn't know you exist is NOT an advantage.

Getting into more specific stuff: the movie did a great job correcting this, but since I'm talking about the stage version, I'm just going to list it: Elphaba's going to school just to care for Nessa, but I don't think she's in a position where she would need a full-time care-taker, so there's the trope of us entrapping people to do our bidding and that we're burdens on others (movie made clear that the dad is the asshole here and not Nessa). Second, many characters, some of whom don't know her at all, wheel Nessa around. You NEVER touch a person's mobility aids without their permission. Again, move fixed this. Third, Nessa says to Elphaba "I'm about the first happy night of my life!" Don't get me wrong, having a disability can really suck, but it doesn't mean our only emotion is misery. Plenty of disabled people live meaningful, fulfilling lives. My uncle has commented to me that he'd never guess I'm sick because "those people usually go around with a scowl." My uncle is Vietnam war vet. I'm sure if I knew half of the hell he went through, I would be shocked that he doesn't walk around with a scowl either-- but life goes on.

I'm going to address the controversy of the cure in Act II. Let me make this clear: plenty of disabled people want to be cured, and portraying someone who wants to be cured is not problematic. What is problematic, however, is that this is a very complicated topic and the show presents it in a way that is very simple. I'll use myself as an example: I would cure my EDS in a heartbeat, but neurodivergence, I honestly don't know. I am now at a point where I don't hate myself and actually like the way I am, but there are still days that I wish I was normal. I don't view my neurodivergence as a "gift" or another way of being, it is a disability and my life is harder because of it. And yet, I would be a completely different person without it. And I'm not sure if that's a person who I'd want to be.

We must remember that Nessa has been disabled since birth, this is her normal. And more than that, it's part of who she is. Suddenly being able to walk would be a massive change, and not necessarily a welcome one-- I think she would have the same fears that I have regarding fixing my neurodivergence. I also don't think Nessa is in a significant amount of pain or discomfort. So, ultimately, she is not disabled by her physical condition, she is disabled by the world around her.

This is, is my opinion, the biggest problem with the Wicked Witch of the East scene. Nessa's life is undeniably harder, but the lyrics incorrectly ascribe her suffering to her disability, when her suffering is actually caused by ableism. Also, wheelchairs are tools of accessibility. They are not bad or shameful things.

So yeah. I'm sorry that was long, but I've been seeing a lot of people asking about why it's ableist and there's no way to explain in one or two sentences, because this a complicated topic with complicated feelings. I hope I covered all the bases.

[theredcuyo]

Maybe i just want to lie to myself but let me present you this (I'm curious of what Phil is gonna say, but for now, this)

If Lullah and Chayanne are the kids of death, maybe they've ascended and now, were expecting the lady of death waiting for them, or their papa, or who knows, except that it's none of them who awaits

It's a tall man, with long, pink, soft looking hair, a crown and a blood red cape, looking at them almost indifferent to their presence, though they can barely tell behind the half mask of a pig that covers his face

Chayanne is INMIDIATELY on the defensive side to protect his sister, more like a reflex than a conciously effort because weirdly enough, the presence feels familiar, almost nostalgic but he doesn't want to give in, that's until after a few seconds they hear the man chuckle "Really, old man?"

They share a confused, yet defensive look to each other "Bruh, i'd figure you told them how i look, but no, old man's memory even forgets that"

"Who are you?"Finally spits Lullah, and her brother can't tell wether she's scared or not. The pig guy shakes his head before kneeling just enough to be at their same height, they take a step back and he softeness his eyes. "I'm just someone who took on this kingdom, you know, after abolishing all goverment of man"

That... Sounds awfully familiar, an old story dad told them before to bed when they were younger, a person who they know even if they never met, Lullah speaks before her brother can think, her voice is little, insecure, afraid to be wrong. "Uncle ...Techno?"

He stares at them for a second, but his face doesn't give any signal of what for away. "I guess i'll take that, yes, i'm Technob-

And before he finishes, two little arms are trapping him thightly, the little boy who hadn't utter a word until then just had put together all the stories he so loved to be told, conquering over the world, destroying a country, farming more potatoes than people on earth, those stories about his dad's friend, someone everyone was afraid of but admired just as much, his older brother who he had never met, his hero.

"HUH?" It took Techno by surprise, and he had barely has time to react by the time another pair of arms were holding onto him for dear existence, this, this hadn't been what he expected, but it was a calculated risk, but he had thought Phil's kids to be more careful with strangers.

|||

Just a silly little idea, its bittersweet i think, i'm not that updated on Phil's lore, but i hope this makes sense

All the fling posse song snippets are out !!!

👀 The Fling Posse snippets are all out now!! :D Ramuda sounds so happy I cry TwT

Hey! Any thoughts on the Fling Posse solo previews? Love hearing your opinions on the trailers and getting some neat tidbits of insight into the lyrics/motifs.

Thanks for the messages! Let's go check 'em out.

One and Only

(8 seconds in) Ramuda's saying "Let's go" too

(41 seconds in) Ahh!

(48 seconds in) Jesus, Shirai is really pushing his range in this one

(50 seconds in) Self love for Ramuda, hell yeah. Good on him

(End of video) Not a lot to say; I feel like this one was pretty straight-forward. It's Ramuda embracing his personal identity as a unique human being-- LOVE to see it-- which is the culmination of his arc through the series so far. The music itself didn't capture me. I might warm up to it later like I usually do, but Shirai's singing on its own isn't usually my cup of tea. Which is chill; I hope other people like it. The wordplay on "clap your hands (te wo tataite); I want to celebrate [being alive] (tataeteitai)" was neat.

Lies

(Title note) I'm intrigued that the title is in kana instead of kanji, giving it a simple and almost "honest" feel in its simplicity. It's been a hot sec since I've seen Gentarou use that word in writing but iirc he usually uses kanji for it.

(5 seconds in) Loving this piano.

(15 seconds in) A boku-using Gentarou? Bruh.

(35 seconds in) Ohhh I see the point of the kana. The title is the same as a famous Shuntarou Tanikawa poem narrated by a little boy (hence the lack of kanji). Since the song lyrics reference it, here's a quick 'n dirty TL of the poem: Lies I think I'll always tell lies. My mother doesn't, but she's done so before. I think that because I know lying is painful. Even if the things I say are lies, the lying feeling is the truth. There are some truths that can only be told in lies. Even dogs--if they could talk, I think they'd tell lies as well. Even when I tell lies, even when my lies get caught, I don't apologize. I never tell lies just to get out of trouble. (*) Even if no one knows that, I know that, and so here I am, living with my lies. Until I just can't bear to lie any longer, I know I'll lie again and again and all the while long for the truth. (*) Literally, "resolve [the trouble] with apologies" which is why the narrator says he doesn't apologize Anyway, the "Even when I tell lies..." verse sans "and so..." is the opening of this song. Gentarou stops at "Even if no one knows that" and sighs in his second repetition of the verse.

(end of song) Wait, the whole thing is just verses of this poem? This is really cool and artistic (I dig it) but wow, what a choice! Saitou Souma's performance is incredible, and the background music is cool. I don't know how well this would go on a playlist, but I am here for it! ...I'm also wondering what the rights acquisition must have been like. This poem isn't in the JPN public domain yet, right? Hahaha.

God in the Dice

(title note) Fwiw I usually say Dice has "spirits" in his dice; calling them gods is just as valid. That seems to be what this is referring to.

(15 seconds in) Man I love Nozuyama's rapping chops. He delivers every time

(23 seconds in) Going to take this "I don't care" and make it a reaction image. Can't adequately express how much the phrase "Thog don't care" gets me through the day; this is right up there with that

(29 seconds in) It's very, very funny that Gentarou always teases Dice about his lack of vocab when you compare these two songs back to back. Hahaha.

(50 seconds in) Call back to Scramble Gamble with a more positive outlook. I can fuck with that.

(end of song) This one seems very similar to Ramuda's in terms of message (once again, I'm inappropriately amused at the notion of Ramuda and Dice living it up in the booth like "Love yourself...! Respect yourself! Love yourse--" and then it cuts to Gentarou who's got a piano and a Dramatic Poetry Reading and Angst. Well, that's Gentarou's way of loving himself, I suppose) and on the one hand, I am very happy for Dice deciding to live his life his own way, even if it goes against societal values... but I don't know how I feel about indulging in a gambling addiction as a way to explore that. You know? Maybe I'm just going "You don't have to follow societal expectations, but you should follow MY expectations, dammit!" Hahaha. Well....... Do what you gotta do, homie.... I'm reminded of how very 20 Dice is. Very, very 20 y.o. leaving a bad home life. Do what you gotta do....

Well, that's Fling Posse! Very much their usual Fling Posse selves.

Astro Observations (Sag placements)

-Sag moons are some of the most interesting people I have met. Like as a Virgo moon I could tell you what someone has done to irritate me or whatever and I will say why and how. Unless it's about someone that I feel very private about already because then I will roughly dance around the things that that person makes me feel and all that jazz. But I don't think you can really egg on a sag moon to talk shit about someone like unless the person that you are talking about is included into the conversation somehow (I mean physically standing there ya know?). Most sag moons I think know exactly what someone does that irritates them but they kinda just go "people change all the time and I might not even really know this person fully or why they do what they do, so I can't really judge them without that information..." Which I do admire because there is an air of optimism and a chill vibe to it. I think as a sag mars I could not really emulate that same vibe that a sag moon does when talking about someone who has done them horribly. I love sag moons bro I just love them so much and I think it's the possible conjunction between my mars and their moon that can influence that sometimes but other times there is no conjunction but I just love sag moons.

I can go on and on about my admiration for sag moons but I feel like you could just watch some clips of celebrities with sag moon or even just meeting a person with a sag moon and man I could only explain so much of the vibes and energy that sag moons give off.

-Sag suns are a hit or miss for me. Most I have met are either super cool and give off the hippie vibe. ORRRR..... they are the most wild people I have met. As someone who has a lot of fire placements...one sag placement will make you wild in a different way than the other fire signs. For instance, having an Aries or Leo placement will not immediately give you a wild card trait but one sag placement will make you the wildest person imo. The best way I can explain it is that I have met people who have one Aries placement or even one Leo placement and they can be either chill or wild. But somehow every sag placement I have met are some of the most interesting and wildest people I have ever met. People will talk about how chill sag placements are and I disagree bruh. Idk what sag placement people you are meeting but every single one is so odd and interesting to me. Like it doesn't matter if you have a Capricorn moon if you have a sag mercury you will say some of the most unhinged shit I have ever heard (and I'll demand more). Again I'm saying this as a sag mars so I could be biased here but bruh no fire placement takes my interest so quickly for a person like sag does. I have met people with an Leo sun and an Aries moon and mars BUT their sag mercury friend will permeate my mind. anyways moving on lol

-Sag mercuries will say some random shit and I will lecture them about that shit...and yet I will never tell them to shut up. Sometimes they say shit just to say shit or even to just get a reaction out of you. I don't know why but it's a moment. I think they think they are slick about it too or they know how obvious it is and do it on purpose. Either way I'm pretty sure that I enjoy sag mercuries is the fact that most times it lands it my fifth house (the literal house of pleasure) so yeah.

-Sag risings are bad bitches...yeah that's it do you need something more tho??

Anyways I didn't say anything about sag Venus just because I don't know too much about them so yeah. Sag placements for me are fun to be around but that doesn't mean that I get along with them. In fact I'm pretty sure I have had the most arguments with sag placements but somehow they don't make me feel anger like other people without sag placements have. Sometimes they just cause me pain that I never really have fully understood. They just hit my weak spots in my soul. I can't really explain it too much right now ya know? It's kinda difficult to explain so yeah. Let me know what you guys think and tell me some of your experiences with a sag placement I would love to know.

[hey-yuiyu]

My 10 cents rant on byler, tysm

It's just me rambling tbh, idek if i'll get to any sort conclusion.... (other than they're endgame, your honor)

Look, ik will went through enough shit all the seasons so far but you don't understand, I NEED mike to be faced with the fear of losing Will again. I basically need churchgate with william byers being vecnad.

I NEED him to understand that the fear of the consequences of loving will are never going to compare to what would mean for him to lose will AGAIN. For what would be at least the third time and final

And like i said, will went through enough, but i want him to be vecnad so bad because i just KNOW mike will f ucking lose it.

Ofc will would as well, if mike was the one to be vecnad, but for me it hits differently. Because mike doesn't know what to do about will, or more specifically abt how his feelings for him. He doesn't like will, he loves him at this point

He has always been so protective of will, like, bruh cmon

And honestly, i want will to suffer because i want mike giving up, i want him tired and i want him unable to take this anymore. I want the walls he built around himself to CRUMBLE until they're only dust

He loves him, he cares for him, he already saw will's "body" being pulled out of the water in S1. He had to see his best friend go through hell with the mind flayer in S2. And in season 3, he sees him move to a place he can't easily reach with his bike

I need mike to be so high in adrenaline he can't think. I need him alone, to see will posessed, sobbing and screaming how he loves will without a milisecond of a proper thought, because he's alone and he just can't fail this time, and if he told eleven his life started when he met her, it was because his world had stopped the moment he realized will byers went missing (the same day the upside down is stuck in btw...) and she represented hope for mike to find will

I need time to fucking run again in the upside down when mike manages to get will out of his trance, because just like the upside down, mike is so stuck in that day, that memory, in that fear of losing the person he loves the most in the world, losing the best thing he ever had.

I need will to be vecnad because mike's world stopped when he thought he'd lost him. And then his world changed when the byers moved to california, home was not the same without will, and mike knows that.

Anyways. Don't mind me just rambling ha.....

[lxrd-ren]

Okok

- q!BBH's memory is worse, to the point of being like short-term memory loss

- It seems most things fade in and out of his memory with remembering things one second and completely forgetting them the next

- This seems to be the exception for the eggs, especially Dapper. Whilst he keeps forgetting they're missing, he never forgets them with recognising Chayannes name and knowing who he is to being reminded of Ramón with a meathead

- The other islanders, including q!Forever and Skeppy, also fade in and out of his memory, but they seem to be more of a constant

- In terms of personality it's basicly the same with being hungry and stealing stuff constantly

- Although he seems oddly drawn to flowers, the big ben building and mentions the egg tasks a lot

- Another constant is 'Dapper is asleep. He will wake up tomorrow'

- Speaking of, he says he was holding Dapper, then there was a bright light. He carried Dapper to the boat (I'm pretty sure it was the yacht boat cause as he came up to it he said 'Oh yeah that boat' or something along those lines. Plus, as he recognised the boat he has to have seen it at some point after the nuke cause he never saw it beforehand. But honestly who tf knows at this point.) and fell off the boat (possibly hit his head)

- He woke up on Quesadilla Island near the dragon

- Frequently coughed at certain times, "Oh yeah I don't feel sick" *cough* ':D'

- Often started a sentence, trailed off and didn't finish it

We also got some major lore shit

- First things first, he knows q!Max is dead

- He first woke up in a flat, sand filled place with empty villages here and there. His skin was his fully-grayed out one, but no blue stuff. He kept saying he needed to keep walking somewhere and that he felt like he was forgetting something; but nope he can't turn back. Bare in mind this all happened at dawn. He came across his corpse but didn't recognise it. On the corpse was a bottle of water and a book. The book said: Don't drink the water it's poisoned. He then proceeded to drink the water bottle (bruh) and take the book. Whilst exiting the village he threw the empty bottle at a cactus and commented 'That felt both right and wrong'. He continued walking and eventually threw out the book. It turned to morning and he faced the direction he had came saying 'its not time yet' and woke up on Quesadilla Island with his old skin on

- He mentioned q!Foolish's builds and that they often get destroyed. What's builds you ask? Pyramids (little fucker.)

I'll add to this as I rewatch the VOD

[yaspup9000]

By Popular demand, here’s some of my LPS Hot takes

Some of the later pets weren’t That bad. Like yea I do agree that the tv show based toys from like 2013-2016 weren’t that great and kinda fugly looking, but with some of the 2020 pets, why yes not as iconic as the 2000s lps that we know and love, I still believe some people were really harsh on some of these pets cuz like they did look really cute tho! My only problem with the pets was the fact they had names tbh 2. Not every g2 lps molds were perfect. Some really good examples of older lps molds being kinda ugly were the first Jack Russel and poodle molds. I’ve also mentioned about the skunk/Squrriel molds were pretty lazy since it’s just the same mold . They didn’t even try to make them different from each other. Like say what you will but at least with some of the newer pets between 2013-2020 they were at least trying to make the skunk and squirrel molds different from each other. also the opossum molds was not all that great tbh..

3. The worse thing that ever happened to lps was the Blythe loves lps toy line. No joke idk why they thought this was good. I mean if you guys loved the Blythe dolls that’s fine, to me I always found them off putting since well, they just didn’t fit personally. Like you’re the one who’s caring the pets or this is a world where it’s run by pets. There was never any mention about humans tbh. Again this is prob coming from bitter younger me lol. But in all seriousness though, never really liked Blythe dolls tbh

4. People need to Chill out about the some of the rerelease of lps. Yes I understand, I’m just as nervous and excited as the rest of you guys however I genuinely feel as if people are really making a mountain out of a hill over some prototypes and a blind bag. Like I understand that everyone’s burned out by bad decisions after bad decisions within the lps Franchise. And yes blind bags are overused and annoying however, Guys.. they’re not just gonna make only just blind bags, they’re gonna do other stuff for lps soon just be patient. Not to mention at the end of the day, they’re still just silly little pets for kids. Can you critique the toys? Of course! But just remember that it ain’t that deep. 5. They should bring back that one brown poodle mold

yes this one! its cute as hecc! and i wish they would bring this back 6. This cat isn't a "Wolf-Cat" Its a maine coon. This isn't even an opinion or anything, i just wanna let people know that its suppose to be a maine coon. also the actual "wolf-cat" is called Lykoi and idk how that breed of cat would look as an lps.

7. the main reason back in 2013 Lps was having a reboot was due to MLP having a reboot. that's just my theory tho.

8. I feel like a lot of people keep forgetting that 90s LPS exist. Like whenever people say "g1" they don't think about the kenner Lps toys, they were thinking about the 2000's lps that was popularized by hasbro. and tbh that kinda sucks.. cuz why yes the kenner toys were more into realism, i still geninually, like the kenner lps figures they were rad.

9. The sticker eyes lps were cute, I actually liked them 10. One pet peeve I had with LPS popular, is that technically, Brook should of been arrested or at least suspended since she did attack Savannah first. Not to mention, doesn't this school have like cameras or something!? i know this has been years since I've watched LPS popular but like, bruh, Why don't her parents believe her!

Umm.. I dont really have any other opinions nor thoughts at the moment. idk feel free to ask me anything lps related and I'll give my honest opinions.

[monsterlets]

pokemon team ideas:

the best pokemon to make lookalike furniture out of (e.g., the easy one of "snorlax beanbag chair")

the best pokemon to throw off your opponent; "but they're so cute!" [team murders opponents' pokemon]

a pokemon team for a gym in a decommissioned nuclear power plant

pokemon team of JUST "that is a man" pokemon that you don't immediately hate because of uncanny valley (challenge rating: near impossible)

a team of pokemon whose colors/designs are just Slightly Wrong but if improved would be great

a team of pokemon where the shinies are infinitely better than the regular forms. caveat: at least 3 pokemon Cannot just be your favorites. lol

a team of pokemon where their designs make no evolutionary or biological sense given their referents and environments.

a team of GIANT pokemon that would not hurt you (or not you, just opponents, whichever)

a team of teeny tiny pokemon that would KILL you (or not you, just opponents, whichever)

a team for a gym in a bustling street market

a team for an elite four/champions road member with the aesthetic and narrative of a union organizer (throughout the game they create some kind of union among trainers to overthrow the villains or something; broad possibilities for aesthetic available here, but that's their journey and vibe)

the best pokemon to make lookalike furniture out of (e.g., the easy one of "snorlax beanbag chair"):

it's just four bean bag chairs a coat rack and a table

the best pokemon to throw off your opponent; "but they're so cute!" [team murders opponents' pokemon]

here come the murder babies

a pokemon team for a gym in a decommissioned nuclear power plant

had to get my favorite nido in there and I think at this point I'm contractually obligated to put toxapex in every poison type team I make

pokemon team of JUST "that is a man" pokemon that you don't immediately hate because of uncanny valley (challenge rating: near impossible)

bruh.

this is the best I can do

a team of pokemon whose colors/designs are just Slightly Wrong but if improved would be great

folks these are all personal opinion but I am very opinionated. and I will explain myself. let's go

flaaffy: I understand that the line is meant to represent a sheep being sheared but it makes me uncomfortable that it stands up at the same moment it loses its pants. please either put it back on the ground or start shearing it from a different place. thank u

umbreon: three things- 1) get rid of the pupils. it's the only eeveelution with black pupils and I like them much better without 2) the yellow circles look so unnatural to me. the rings around the tail and ears are fine tho. get rid of the ones on the legs, fill in the one on the forehead to make it a spot (it even evokes the moon more that way) 3) for me this is too many colors for such a simple litte guy. either make the eyes yellow to match the markings, or make the markings red to match the eyes (I think the yellow could be regular and the red could be the shiny. blood moon. sick)

skitty: it's very cute, it reminds me of a neopet and I like that. but the facial features just don't look real to me. make em look a little less drawn on and I'd like it

female jellicent: pretty much the same issue, the eyelashes look painted on. why are they 2 dimensional

east sea gastrodon: for context for everyone else we were just talking about this last night. I just don't think the color scheme works as well as the west sea gastrodon. make the green a bit darker and cooler, make the blue quite a bit lighter, and then make the yellow accents a cool color so it's more cohesive (I think purple would be cool). I still like him tho it's still gastrodon at the end of the day. but I would never ever choose it over the west sea gastrodon

gorebyss: the clamshell bra. get rid of it

aaaaaand I've hit image limit I'll have to continue in a reblog

[lost-inanotherlife]

Lost S2 Rewatch - spontaneous, random thoughts (might change my mind)

Kinda dig Ana Lucia. I remember that, back when the show first aired, I didn't like her but I guess I've changed my mind. I like the fact that she seems to be unapologetic, she's leader-material and she knows it and acts as such but she's not smug about it. She does bad things, she knows it and doesn't hide behind excuses. Honestly? So far she's cool.

The introduction of the Tailies was a ballsy move, we haven't seen our fearless leader Jack for 6 episodes now (I've reached S2E7) and the show is still compelling and exciting. We meet five new characters and their introductions are different from those of the main characters in s1: it's fast, no flashbacks, direct. The comparison works because I find myself wanting to know more even though I wasn't even given enough screen-time to care about them. Ballsy, well-executed professional writing move.

I like how the first 3 episodes are taking place on the same night/day as the last 3 episodes of S1 (or 2 episodes, according to how you're watching "Exodus"). We see the events from different perspectives and this method of storytelling sometimes is very effective, sometimes I personally find it a bit boring. This doesn't happen here at all.

Hurley is such a more interesting character when you rewatch the show! I think that he's the only character (so far) where knowing things in advance makes him better and I'm like "hell, yes, why didn't I see that before?". Like, when I first watched the show I thought that Hurley was the "comic relief" of the series. He kinda is, but he's also not and so much more? Upon rewatching the show you can clearly see why he was the right leader and the best protector of the island. Gotta love The Dude.

I've said it once, I'll say it again (and forever): JUSTICE FOR SHANNON. I'll protect her against anyone. Her centric episode "Abandoned" is okay but I find it very distasteful that her death is framed as manpain fodder for Sayid. Also, she has sex at the beginning of the episode and at the end she dies? Ugh. Again, distasteful, it felt a little like she had completed her function so off we go. My girl deserved so much more :(.

Speaking of Shannon, her relationship with Sayid is meh. I actually liked it 20 years ago but thank god I've definitely changed because it's a badly written ship. I mean, I can see that the two characters have potential, but there's no "meat" behind it. The story is not "built", it's just there. One day Sayid finds her attractive and that's it. The two of them have spent like 1 afternoon together and all of a sudden the guy creates a romantic location on the beach so they can have sex. Shallow. And also, let's never forget that these people are on a fucking island full of things AND people that want to kill them, but okay, let's go beachsex-camping somewhere!

I'm an anti-Charlie. It really costs me a lot to say this because he was my favorite twenty years ago and now I can't stand him. I've reckoned that if I have to spend more time trying to make excuses for him while I actively don't like his actions... well, it's wasted time. Let's call is as it is: Charlie's a dick. That scene after Locke was holding Aaron and Charlie was jelaous or, I'd rather say, unhingedly possessive? Brrr, chills bruh and the wrong kind. Dude, you're cringe.

WIBTA for telling a friend that another friend don't like him?

🥚 to find later

So basically I'm friends with 2 people, which I'll call J and H.

H I'm very chill with, we've been in multiple classes together, he's called me one of his "bestest friends", and we work well together as a whole, all round pretty nice guy.

J I'm also semi-chill with, we aren't the best of friends, but I don't hate him or anything (As a general rule of thumb I don't really hate anyone unless they've wronged me in some way).

A while ago, J had moved from the table H, me, and some other people were sitting at, mostly because one of the guys there would bother him to the extent he would become angry. I won't really go into it.

From then on, H became increasingly clear in his feelings toward J, which I had no idea about. Every time J does something that he apparently doesn't vibe with, he would complain to the ENTIRE table that "Dude when I was sitting next to J, he LITERALLY..." in an annoyed tone of voice. I witnessed the guy who was harrassing J be like "Oh yeah I'm totally going to harrass him more" which. Bruh. Most of the stuff H "complained" about was just stuff he usually did, and was basically harmless, like asking people to play a game with him, or getting annoyed when he hasn't had an answer for a while.

H also has this nasty habit of being super nice on most things, but just sour when it comes to talking about people behind their back. He NEVER, and I do mean this when I say it, he NEVER directly says he doesn't like someone, it's always this cowardly dance of "oh haha nice person I definitely do not hate" and "guys I don't like that guy so I'm just going to create a new group chat with the SAME PEOPLE and very PROUDLY announce my avoidance skills are top notch".

Furthermore, I've heard with my own ears that H does not consider them friends, at all. When asked if they were friends he pulled out his "I'm barely tolerating this, but I'm trying to be polite about it"(Trust me, I know. I've heard it so many times.) tone of voice and answered they just sit next to each other on the bus.

I know J does consider them friends, since he's sent into a group chat that I, H, and some other people that he enjoys talking to us, and has taken up the mantle of trying to get everybody together to play a game.

So there you have it. J has NO idea what kinds of nasty shit H is saying behind his back, still thinks they're friends, and you have H, who pulls a face every time he sees J.

So, Tumblr. WIBTA for telling J that H hates him?

What are these acronyms?

Also yeah foolish laughs in stressful situations but that was the most forced laugh we've heard from him probably because she was waiting for him to respond or agree. I'm in shambles he cares so much about Leo hes been so worried every day asking for updates on the eggs and checking in on his friends I can't deal with this right now

HE WAS SO SHOCKED. HE LITERALLY WENT DEAD SILENT. BRUH. I'M ALSO IN SHOCK.

He cares so so so much about Leo that it has reached the point that she's literally almost the only person he cares about. He's not like the other Islanders. He's SAID THIS. He has said over and over and over again that he laughs to cope, that he finds it hard to react to sad situations the same as other people do, that he has a different mindset. Yeah, I don't think he's told that to qMouse specifically yet, but it still HURTS.

Because he's hurting too. He's mourning too. He's just as broken up about this whole mess as the other parents are. But he shows it differently. He hides behind the silly. He'll keep up the smile because that's the only thing he can do.

And to hear that from a friend? That has got to be the hardest punch in the gut EVER. What the fuck I actually teared up when he was silent. And he didn't even SAY anything, I'll never know peace the day ccFoolish ever decided to let his character fall apart.

Neurodivergency stuff:

Having a character hyperfixation is so bizarre

[a rant about how character hyperfixations are different than special interests, how seeing Hobies makes me feel, and also daydreams that I don't necessarily control]

I talk about stuff like this here because I feel it should be normalized 🥺😁

I love Hobie. He's my hyperfixation.

But it's not like a special interest or normal hyperfixation. Like I love trains and subways and metros and I'll eat up ANYTHING about them but like - the interest is completely from an intellectual standpoint.

My Hobie hyperfixation is completely different.

Bruh I get about as much comfort looking at his photo as I do like hugging my own mother or some shit and that's not an understatement

Especially actual screenshots of the movie. Like I love fanart but for it to hit right it has to be 'actually him'.

Looking at photos of him genuinely calms me down and thinking about his voice makes me feel safe. I trust him.

I can accurately 'daydream' about him doing almost anything in vivid detail, but I'm not necessarily in control of him in those daydreams. There are just certain things he won't do. If I ask him a question I won't know the answer unless I 'ask' him. And if I don't like is answer I can't just change it cause he said what he said!!!

Um but yeah at least for me it's way more than 'Oh I love this character and reading fics about him' and way closer to 'this is somehow a person to me I talk to through my head. And I can feel the same warm feelings towards him as I do an actual existing human.

I know I can't touch him or hug him - and that gives the exact same emotion as if you were missing a friend that went away to college.

I know it's not the same, but my brain produces the same feeling from different scenarios than other people.

Like just by looking at this photo I can imagine the way his vest feels and what is like to hold his hand, and the fabric of his shirt, the way he smells, his guitar by my leg - and it's like ... I'm not trying to do that that's just what happens when I look at the photo

AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT ANY OTHER WAY OR ANY CLEARER AND I-

At least twice I week I have a daydream of Hobie rubbing my back and telling me to calm down and how he understands why I'm upset all in his accent in a very specific detailed rendition of his home thats never been shown on screen before-

And the emotional response is just as real and holds weight in my brain the same. It's way beyond just an intellectual interest, at least in my case.

Character hyperfixations are more emotional connections.

And IDK if that's how it is for everyone else??!!!! But uhhhh!!!!! Yeah- ummmm- haha yah mhm

I hope somebody can relate but like waking up and looking at a Hobie photo feels like waking up beside him and THAT'S THE TRUTH and if you think that's weird or cringe then

Homie idk what you want me to tell you it is what it is

And some people may find that weird or cringe or whatever I don't give the slightest fuck because isn't that amazing that the human brain can do that - see a human creation and take some much meaning and emotion from it, making a full circle of human creation and art powered souly by human emotion and the ridiculously sophisticated imagination humans are only capable of through centuries of evolution right

But can somebody tell me if it's like this for them or if not what does your Hobie hyperfixation look like

Also if you have daydreams too please tell me about them like can you control him in them like a Barbie doll, or is he completely independent?

Mines is probably 90% independent - there's somethings either outside of his character or things he just won't do

[like for those who follow me, in my head I can ask Hobie to take me to the locked basement, and he'll absolutely say no. And if I try to imagine him doing it, the daydream I imagine is a lot more paperthin, plus Hobie will say "That's not it and that's not me, quit imagining me like that-" and I can't continue the daydream

I-]

Since I just exposed myself lemme just-

Okay there's this one ""stereotype""?? I've noticed I've always had myself and it's kinda funny tho, but also it's kind of interesting thinking about it???

It's kinda hard putting my thoughts into actual words so bear with me here kfhdjd

So basically yknow when people are joking about how [sexuality] often has a completely different "taste" in [gender they're not attracted to]

I already felt this back when I was in my lesbian stage of the pipeline from pansexual to aroace ( How is this such a common thing???? Why are we all so oblivious?????) and I'd often had male characters/actors, etc, that I'd call adorable and be like :3 look at him!!! And then I'd had people just be like bruh... why...

And I still have this a lot, where I love to look at someone in the aesthetic way and just think they're very pretty or cute and then I'd often see people call them looking weird or ugly. Does anyone else have that?? Maybe it's also because in my head I just don't categorize people into ugliness, I think it's weird calling people ugly, either you like how someone looks or you don't, they can't exactly do anything against it?

And to come back to the "stereotype"/joke about people with weird tastes, I think it also comes back to appreciating someone's appearance in a different way other than being attracted to them. It's just natural that most of the time the people are getting thirsted over are more "conventionally attractive", because even if it's subconsciously, people will often look at them in a sexual or romantic way.

And I've always found this weird, especially when seeing people thirst over characters or idols, etc, I always get disgusted- not in a judging way, I just don't wanna see that stuff goodbyee 🛌 I have so many blocked or muted just because thirst posts keep showing up on my for you pages bc the general fandom likes it. So if you're blocked by me on any site, it's probably nothing personal... Tumblr sadly doesn't have a proper efficient way to mute that, so I just always have to block and feel lowkey bad 🥲

So yeah, what I'm thinking is you can appreciate someone's beauty more freely when you don't see them mainly in a sexual way. Obviously, this isn't a FACT, just an observation from different reactions. Like when someone gets called ugly and it's immediately being made about something sexual or romantic, like "you're never gonna get a girl looking like that!" "I wouldn't wanna sleep with someone ugly like you!!", it just feels so weird to me... Obviously, it probably does to most decent people, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say here kdjdjdhd

On another note, maybe it's just a personal me thing, but sometimes I'll have a ship only to find out... no one else ships it?? Or barely anyone.

Now, I really hate romance and avoid it like the plague, but every now and then, I'd have two characters I'd ship a bit and think they're kinda cute together! (Although I'd probably not want any of those to actually be canon bc I can't stand watching cheesy scenes lmaoo)

But when I get into the fandom and see the general ships and everything, I'd often just notice no one seems to think the same???

It's just no matter what I like, it seems it's completely different from the vast majority 🥲 Maybe I just have weird taste man 😭

What's one thing you think the pets would find most attractive (physical feature, quirk, something personality wise, ect.)

Oh, I will repeat myself but for Vinnie it's for sure being tall and/or muscular. Which is good because basically everyone is taller than him, but the taller and more muscular the better. Also, he's attracted to the color blue, guess why, bet you can't. I could yap and yap about him, but I'll just add one more thing - when someone is really touchy with others, well, him mostly. Oh yeah? You wanna touch him? Why? ;) There's a higher chance they will give him a hug or something without him needing to initiate it or ask for it

For Minka it's when someone is energetic like her. She finds it really attractive when someone matcher her energy. And I really mean matches, as in is on the same level as her or even higher. She wants to do everything with them and in a perfect world it'd be someone who is happy with it all and initiates other such activities as well.

What Pepper finds most attractive is when someone is gentle with her, sorta treating her like she's made out of porcelaine. There's just something so lovely about it, because in big part because of her own self-presentation and all it's just not how most treat her (I mean it not in a bad way, she's just more of a "bruh" kinda girl not "tehee :3"). So if someone treats her in this gentle way? Oh my~. She also is attracted whenever hearing someone else laugh at her jokes, so kinda to laughter, I suppose. She likes when someone laughs a lot. Yes, big part of it is due to her crush on Captain Cuddles, could you tell

For Zoe it's a widly understood success. She loves when a person has a lot of accomplishements behind them, something to show off. It can be anything really, but bonus points if it's something public so other people know about that person and their stuff too. In a good way that is. Weird considering she ends up with 6 losers. Okay, maybe not all 6 of them are losers like that, but there's Vinnie there so ya know.

For Russell it's when someone has a wide arrange of skills, especially if they're something he himself is not that good at and just someone who has some practical life experience. This way they can complete each other and everything will be done perfectly :D. Plus, he won't have to worry if he's out of the game for a while or two because they can take care of everything instead, for their and his sake.

When it comes to Penny I agree with her whole thing with her crush on Mr. Vonfuzzlebutt - she likes the strong, quiet type. She likes when a person is big, just in general, so she can feel small and dainty compared to them. But then again I think she would like smaller people too cause omg so precious and she needs to protect them! Anyway, she also likes when someone is protective themselves. She really can find anything attractive as long as it belongs to a decent human being.

The man, the legend, Sunil! What he finds most attractive is when someone is romantic. Yeah. Not what I mentioned here for her, but kinda like Zoe. Likes it when someone is all flirty, withonly him that is, as well as teases him. And when someone is kinda obsessed over him? Oh boy. You know how Vinnie freaks out whenever Sunil is not there? I headcanon he had no idea that he's like that. But then one day the rest of his friends tell him something like "Sunil, you have no idea how unstable Vinnie is without you because you never see it. He screams, yells, destroys, has murdrous intents, basically everyone is scared to be around him." And they all think Sunil would be petrified but he is actually like "Wait, really? That's kind of... attractive 😏. Could you record him the next time it happens?" and the rest of them are just "????".
