I am never inclined to make fun of tumblr's cheesy attempts to make money and generally support them even if you consider them cringe. Websites need money to operate and tumblr needs to find a way to make money consistently or it will cease to exist. I do not want tumblr to cease to exist, and the most common alternative method of making money is to collect and sell all of our personal data, which I do not want either. Websites that can support themselves via people willing to spend $25 bucks to commit to a bit is a sign of a brighter and more sustainable version of the internet.

Ted Wheeler sees the Byers and says, “Thank god you folks are back. Between the two of these kids, I thought I was going to have to take out a second mortgage just to afford my phone bill,” and has absolutely no idea the chaos he has just unleashed.

my least favourite thing from the watcher discourse has been people saying “WE never asked for higher quality” or “your most popular shows are where you just sit around and talk!!” - babes its likely not what THEY want to do for the rest of eternity lol. they’re allowed to want to grow as creatives and make things they are proud of?

One of the things that I was always a little confused about was how Mei Nianqing describes that over the centuries, as Jun Wu watched Xie Lian during his second banishment, he 'calmed down' from the displeasure of Xie Lian failing to meet Jun Wu's expectations in Lang'er Bay. Why would he calm down, watching Xie Lian? After all, he was suffering, sure, but we can see from Yong'an and Banyue that he was still living in accordance with his principles, standing strong despite his experiences. What made Jun Wu think that what he was seeing was a sign that Xie Lian, upon ascending and witnessing the sins of the gods up close and personal, would finally give in and become the second White No-Face?

And I realized that, just like he does across the entire series, he was probably projecting on Xie Lian, wasn't he? He probably thought (or, decided to believe) that deep down, each indignity Xie Lian suffered built up resentment and frustration, that he bargained with himself at every hardship, that he was struggling not only physically but also mentally. Surely a man like that would falter, to see that such indignities continue even among the gods.

And I wonder if this is perhaps a look into Jun Wu himself. Is this a sentiment Jun Wu developed over the years, accustomed to hiding away all the ugly and angry pieces of himself, waiting until he was alone to let them out? Or is this perhaps a sentiment that he always carried, deep down? Even as a prince, did he feel some little niggle of resentment when things didn't go his way? When soldiers killed civilians to take their land? When worshipers turned away but still expected to benefit off of him?

When his friends said he'd changed, to suggest human sacrifice, had he truly? Or was he simply finally showing a part of himself that he'd never expressed before? One that grew stronger the more he endured, but that had always been there, deep down?

Or maybe Jun Wu didn't think any of this at all, and he just wanted to see Xie Lian crack, one way or another. But I wonder if we can read deeper into this than that.

IDK if you guys have felt my absence as much as I have for the past month-ish, but I have enough energy to update you now. TL;DR the townhouse I was renting gave my roommate mold poisoning and sent her to the hospital twice, the property managers refused to acknowledge that our (very expensive) mold report did indeed say the phrase (verbatim) “samples confirmed mold spore contamination,” and therefore we had to follow the law and issue a 7-day notice that if they didn’t remediate all problems we were terminating the lease for untenatability.

Which meant we had to find a new place and move within less than 7 days. That was thankfully accomplished last week. I’m so fucking tired and I don’t even know if we’ll be going to court yet.

"Let people enjoy things" vs "let people criticize things" is incredibly tedious for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that these things are not actually contradictory.

A lot of people are saying that Jake English is incredibly emotionally intelligent but not enough people are actually using it. By "not enough people" I mean everybody should use it always. He's so good at getting what he wants that every time he's refused something the person who dared to do so is wrecked with guilt for 4-5 business days. His actions are always justified and one time Jane reprimanded him he was so visibly upset and guilty she felt horrible for weeks. Everybody is on his side in every argument even if he's not doing anything. He knows things about people that are impossible to know and when Rose confronted him he said he just kinda stumbled upon said things accidentally. It's physically impossible to not do things he wants you to do and not be in place he wants you to be. Only person to match him is Karkat but after the single most explosive movie night they are cautionary allies and don't use their powers on each other. Let Jake weaponize his intelligence to a ridiculous extent.
