#QUESTIONS.... i'm scared to answer.

What if you tried making Kiran jn Miitopia. Could you make the hood? Would they just be bald? Would they be Slenderman adjacent?

I felt a great need to do this

i found a god awful doc about this one person (who, too, is a god awful being) trying to reason why mudClaw would be a bad leader. I'ma try to find the doc but meanwhile I'll submit this because someone could have the link, I'll need your honest thought about it bcs why are we defending oneWhiker now

Anon, buddy, I'm gonna have to sit you down and gently discourage you from casually calling random human people "god awful beings" in my inbox like this. Not when you're just talking about relatively basic media analysis. That isn't ok or normal.

I hope that when I speak harshly, it's coming from a place of condemning hurtful actions and the tangible harm that they cause. I don't appreciate people trying to get me to directly beef with other people directly by requesting I break down their individual posts or analysis documents (when I ask for people to share links, it's so I can see and prepare to counter the ideas because they usually "float downstream" if they get popular); but in a second ask, you linked this document and there's nothing harmful in it. In fact, it's got a far more neutral tone than I'd take if I was writing an analysis about Mudclaw.

If you couldn't tell the difference between a document like this and one that contains active abuse apologia rhetoric, I would be filled with concern. But I don't think you read it. I think you maybe skimmed it and stopped reading, or just heard the title.

Because this document literally says this;

and your takeaway, something you felt so strongly about that you came to me hoping I'd validate it, was "Why Are We Defending Onewhisker Now."

Art is a tool we can use to explore our own biases, and teach us something about ourselves. That overwhelming sense of anger and disgust that you probably felt when you saw "Mudclaw Would Be A Bad Leader" made you jump to an emotional conclusion and you assumed something that was not said. I know the feeling. You might have had a reactionary impulse.

You are not a bad person for doing that-- you're human. You can grow.

Why did it upset you this much, though? Is there something very personal about this that set you off? ...are you spending a lot of time in spaces online that keep you angry? These are questions for you to reflect with.

I do not know the owner of this document or "what they've done," if anything, so I will not link it, because their Discord is at the bottom of the doc. If they are truly a "god awful being", please do not engage, just block and move on. Nothing is accomplished by following around 'A Bad Guy' and boosting their cat takes.

But something VERY bad WOULD be accomplished if I indulged an anon for a situation I know nothing about and unwittingly became part of a harassment campaign. How do I know that you've got good intentions?

I usually just delete unsolicited links to docs and videos that are 'fightbaiting' like this-- trying to get me to beef publicly with a 3rd person. But I've seen more of these than usual lately so I would like to try and cool it down.

Here the thing is-

Episode 15 better fucking be 3 hours long or some shit because what the FUCK!

And if it's not, it better end with like the fucking "The Bad Batch will return" title card shit they have at the end of Marvel movies with there being an announcement for a new series that is a continuation of the Bad Batch but it maybe called something else because it doesn't only relate to the Bad Batch.

I see people saying let's get a "Tales of the Clones" and that would be great, amazing even, but seeing as the last two "Tales of the [thing]" were series comprised of two stories focused on two characters (and backstories at that) I don't really see it working out well in tying things up in Bad Batch.

If anything, maybe it'll work, but if they do a "Tales of the Clones" I do hope it follows Rex leading some kind of clone rebellion or something and then also Cody and seeing him go to Tatooine to find Obi-Wan.

Even better? We get "Tales of the Clones" AND an additional other clone show that ties up everything in the Bad Batch.

Hahaha....right? Not like Star Wars would let us down, right? They totally would give the fans what they want instead of what they think they want, right? Right?

I say all of this as I put on my clown wig, nose, and shoes.

I just discovered your very epic dhmis blog, and I honestly don't have any questions sooooo... I'm gonna say hi to everyone :3

[violetmuses]

I have a question??? 👀

Do y'all think Armando's boat ever ran out of fuel?! What if he got lost despite using survival skills? 💔 🛶

hi! may i ask you why have you chosen not to receive signs from your gods and keep the worship one-sided? it's an interesting view of the divine and i have never seen anyone else on tumblr with similar principles

hey nonny! thanks for sending an ask, i love talking about my practice and beliefs lol

so, first and foremost i am agnostic and a skeptic. i believe that we have no way of knowing the gods' realness, but no way of disproving it either. if the gods are not real, the feelings associated with ritual and worship still are: i believe the gods are all real, as long as they are worshiped, because the simple act of worshiping them gives them power over one's life.

ex. aphrodite is real to me, even beyond 'realness', because i interact with her and her domains through the lens that she is real. through my self-love journey, i pray to her in many aspects [as a trans person, as an aroace person, as a queer person, as a kid who is unsure of themself]. i offer to her, i speak to her, and i begin to view the world with more love and beauty. i could be bringing this love and beauty into my life myself, by interacting with these aspects and having them fill my subconscious more. or, she could be bringing the love and beauty into my life because i pray and offer to her. either way, i cannot prove or disprove how much she has to do with these things, but the act of worshiping her and following her guidance has been useful, has changed my life.

in antiquity, to hear the gods' words, people went to oracles, seers, etc. these oracles served a very specific purpose within the temple, cult, and worship; though anyone now can practice divination and deity communication, i tend to rely more on faith and the assumption that the kharis i build will have my prayers answered.

i do not pray for large things, simply because i do not believe that i have the power to convince the gods to change or create large things for me. i pray to the gods and their domains for guidance and introspection; i love them to death, and they guide me on my journeys, but more so because i interact with them as archetypes and i try to work their ideals into my life.

but secondly, i have seen far too many posts [here and in many other places] and heard far too many other polytheists claim that every little thing must be a sign before they even consider the mundane. i think a lot of people can easily confuse associations for signs; if i see a flock of doves, i'm not immediately assuming aphrodite has specifically chosen to send them to me, but i may smile and think of her. there can be [and there is!] magical in the mundane, but that does not mean that everything is only magical.

i'm never going to tell anyone that they are wrong for their own practice, journey, and faith [unless it's like actually dangerous or appropriative], but i have just chosen a different route. i question the divine all the time, and this has led me to genuinely being closer to them in many aspects.

now, this isn't to say i've never felt that i received a sign from a god. i'm not going to get into the specifics of that now, but what i try to do is practice critical thinking. i want to ensure that i'm being safe in the way i interact with faith and the divine, because i think if i'm not, someone can take advantage of that. and by not seeking signs or messages, by viewing everything with the mundane lens first, i am keeping myself safe.

Toast make a reasonable answer to a question for once in your life challenge. I failed again 🙃

Thinking about how some people call the main guys as the "stoplight trio". Like somehow their colours sorta matches the meaning of a stoplight

Red doesn't want any of this, he wants to leave the narrative, and he wants it all to stop. Red actively seeks an escape from their hell hole and we all know it

Yellow is the neutral one. There are parts where he's cool with change and there are parts where he wants everything to stay as it is. He's cautious about it before getting into the change or vice versa

Duck is go. He always goes. Like Duck doesn't give a shit about what changes and what doesn't, he's easy to adapt. You can say he literally died and he will accept it. He was so ready to live in the dark in ep 6, this man just goes with the flow

i can't come back here until the afternoon of the 29th, posting this to hold myself accountable (& i'll be embarrassed if i turn up again)

[rayman-chibi]

Hey guys, genuine question: is PillowFort a good idea? Like I just made a new account there, but I'm still a little paranoid about what downsides it has. I need answers please.

what to do when your roommate eats all your food. without aksing.......... she mostly eats from my veggie spreads and everything else that comes in a glass/jar, like honey, tomato sauce etc. She literally scoops out so much that she almost empties a glass shortly after i've opened it the first time. A few months ago i just noticed she would snack on my stuff from time to time and i was like ok i know she is going through a difficult time, she may be stress eating (why eating my stuff tho?) and i let it be. But now she just basically empties all my stuff so that i have nothing left to eat and i dont get it bc she ALWAYS has more food in the frigde than me, she has more money and she can afford snacks and yet she decides to eat my food instead like WTF
