#a universal complaint

[theincredimazingbablesquatch]

Today I found out the apartment next to mine is no longer vacant.

I discovered this at 5 in the morning, when the new neighbors decided to do a dramatic reenactment of the wildebeast stampede, with their stairwell that shares a wall with my bedroom as the venue.

They were banging and thumping for three hours. It literally shook my bed.

Some people really shouldn't be allowed to live in apartments, but tell that to the housing market I guess.

Danny kills the Joker. Every Joker.

So! As the King of the Infinite Realms, Danny has to deal with the complaints of his subjects a Lot.

Some of them want to suggest changes in certain Laws, others complain about other Ghosts who wronged them, but by far the most common reason was that they died in a violent manner and wanted revenge.

And by far, the main person they sought revenge for was the same person. A guy known as The Joker.

But unfortunately, as the Infinite Realms was connected to multiple Universes, many of those Complains were about different Jokers from alternate Universes. And there were so many of them that he couldn't really just kill a few of them and call it a day, at least some of his subjects would remain Unavenged. And that just wouldn't do!

So he just decided to do away with the whole lot.

Danny began to Personally Hunt Down every single version of the Joker in the Multiverse. Or at least the part of it that was connected to the Realms.

Unfortunately, the news that some ungodly eldritch being being was hunting the variants of the Joker across the entire Multiverse did not go unnoticed. Quickly enough, news spread across the Multiverse that somebody had decided to do away with the Clown that had been such a consistent thorn in the side of most Universes.

Eventually, that news reached the Main DC Universe, and got to Batman.

One day Batman was approached by Justice League Dark about the situation. They had managed to intercepted an Interdimensional message about what was happening, and decided to inform Batman ahead of time.

Now he had a choice.

Either he could try to stick by his Morals and protect even the Joker's life from an unknown force out for his life, or he could let it happen and absolve himself of the blame for the Jokers death.

It didn't help that for the past few days Jason had been in such a good mood after hearing about the Jokers impending Death.

He didn't really get to see Jason smile like that often...

...decisions, decisions...

do you actually dislike the bird abode or just the creature designs? not saying the name directly so your ass doesn't get blasted by the tag

I like a lot of the creatures in it; the showrunner is a really fantastic horror artist and it really comes through in the aesthetics of the show. I especially like this hand dragon, though there's a lot of other great designs:

As for the show on the whole, it's not bad but not really for me? Early on it really feels like it's schtick will be that it's a subversion of harry potter-esque stories, where the protagonist wants to go on an adventure similar to her favorite fantasy book but instead ends up hanging out with the "villain" (who's actually just othered)/the magic school turns out to be secretly oppressive/the world is kind of gross and spooky instead of clean and approachable... but as it goes along I think it ends up being a pretty by the books YA fantasy thing played mostly straight, and it isn't super interesting or funny or scary or anything besides that. Which admittedly was probably to its benefit, I think a lot of its popularity comes from it being this very tropeish and not-uncomfortable magic school/found family story that's actually queer, like I genuinely think this is hugely appealing to the average cartoon fan on twitter, but I'm just not personally into it in comparison to a lot of it's contemporaries

New day, same book and same struggle to focus. I need this thing to be done, it's so stressing and tiring to try to keep my focus on this. It's written so fucking badly I can't take it anymore. And after sending a few passages to a friend I can confirm I am not the problem, the book is. It's so tiring on my brain that I am also less motivated to read in my free time, which is fine, but it shows how badly it's influencing me. My free time, when I am alone, these days mainly consists of listening to music, doing sudoku puzzles and continuing my Lost rewatch. I am now at the end of season 3 and I am not joking when I say I don't remember shit. I mean I do have a few memories of things that will happen, but there has been so many plot points amd twists I had completly forgotten.

productivity list:

read first thing in the morning

finished reading and underlining the first half of the last section of the book (now I only have to work on the second half and the epilogue which should be less than 50 pages)

started writing down notes for what I have read yesterday and today

started outlining a few thoughts on what my 2025 reading goals are going to be (I feel like this year I really learned a lot on what I want my reading to be, I will be writing a post on that around the end of the year)

In the universe of the film, there is ABSOLUTELY a contingent of fans that fervently ship Argylle/Wyatt and have the dominant ship on AO3 and trade elaborate fan theories about their hidden relationship and are convinced they’re meant to be endgame but the publishers won’t allow it. Of course, they go totally BALLISTIC when they learn they’re based on the author and her boyfriend.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

tnt has officially put the void within on pause between chapters 7 and 8. according to their statement on the official twitter account, it's to "make exciting improvements based on your feedback".

all plot activities (void essence collection, battledome fights, volunteer shifts, and story updates) will be on hold, and voidworks specifically will be getting an update.

the void within is slated to return in early 2025, but the team's assured us that there will be plenty of holiday activities in the meantime.

i have absolutely no clue what this means for the future of the plot.

but i'm going to trust that tnt made this decision because they felt that the feedback they received required such a long hiatus to make changes around.

That one side comic about Laios and Falin's racism against mountain people makes me think that in modern AU of dunmeshi they would hold white supremacist belief and be really suspicious if people of color was around them. plus, their hometown is white suburban coded, and he became a soilder. essentially government sponsored crime. i wonder what modern AU Laios's war crimes in Iraq (if you think the modern AU takes place in US or something)

How do you even come to this conclusion?? The fuck

The way racism and xenophobia happen in the US isn't universal believe it or not, and again that comic what Falin and Laios speak of is Xenophobia that they learned when they were 9 and 12 before they left the village, Laios is one of the characters that treats people from most races about the same without much prejudice (there is some prejudice but way less than the other characters show, everyone is racist in dungeon meshi) and I don't think you'd need a very long conversation about mountain people for him to understand why what he said wasn't okay at all.

Laios is the farthest thing from a white supremacist, I think he has unchallenged biases not a strong believe in his superiority. Stop making everything into US politics please the rest of the world and different types of bigotry exists

If I see one more post trashing on the Sonic movies just because they're not like the games and because of the human characters I'm going to explode and then punt the sun itself into their faces

GUUUYYYSSSSS. THERE'S THIS MAGIC THING CALLED A MULTIVERSE. THE SONIC MOVIES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THE GAMES, THEY ARE IN AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE UNIVERSE. YOU SHOULD NOT BE JUDGING THEM BASED ON HOW WELL THEY FOLLOW THE GAME CANON, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE GAMES. THE MOVIES AND THE GAMES CAN COEXIST AS SEPARATE UNIVERSES OF THE SAME CHARACTERS LIVING THEIR LIVES IN DIFFERENT WAYS, MKAY??

Once you accept this I can almost guarantee you'll be a much happier fan. I can testify. 😘

Sonic Wachowski ≠ Game!Sonic. Because they grew up in different environments and around different people in different circumstances, and that changed the way they turned out. I believe that if Wachowski grew up the same way Game! did, he would've turned out like Game! did. I also believe that if Game! grew up the same way Wachowski did, he would've turned out like Wachowski did. The core of this character is the same. In both the movies and the games, he's the fastest thing alive, he LOVES running, he loves his friends, he loves chili dogs, he loves living, and he will fight for what he believes is right. 💙

Just take into account the different worlds, the different lives, the different influences, and the fact that the movies are not trying to imitate the games (I thought this was obvious from day 1?) and it'll be a lot more fun in this fandom for you. In fact, you'll find you're a lot happier when you're actually taking time to love and appreciate the things you're interested in rather than just nitpicking about everything. 👌😜

And if you don't like the movies, you can kindly leave them be as well as all those of us who DO enjoy the movies. If you only like the games, stick to the games. 💙

Now that I'm a good ¾ of the way through one piece I'm gonna complain about something that's kinda been bugging me; I don't like how little time the crew has actually been together - and I'm not saying this in the they get split up each island type way I mean in more the Brook was on that ship for a week before the 2 year gap and its not like the rest of the crew is much better from what I can gather from the time Luffy first met zoro til they arrived on sabaody about 6 months had passed if we're being generous I don't know something about the fact that usopp spent more time with that bug man then his crew annoys me so much

Shimura:  Todoroki, call up everyone you know with a motorbike and tell them to meet at South Musutafu Park.  We got a situation on our hands.

Dabi:  A what now?

Shimura:  I’ll explain later, but right now, I’m angry enough to get violent and we all know why that’s a bad idea.  So we’re going with noise complaint as the worst thing we do tonight.

Dabi: So you want to cause a disturbance that'll attract every Pro in a five kilometer radius? Are you out of your mind?

Shimura: Oh, relax. Aside from maybe handing out fines, the most the cops are gonna do to a horde of bikers obnoxiously revving their engines is tell them to get lost. And that's not something your dad bothers with.

Two hours later.

Endeavor: Why is it whenever I'm responding to some manner of crisis in this city, I always seem to find you standing right in the middle of it!

Dabi: ...I wasn't aware I was involved in that bank robbery yesterday?

Endeavor: The building was on fire, I haven't ruled you out.

Dabi: *to Shimura* What was that about my dad not bothering to show up for a noise complaint? *back to Endeavor* Why are you even here? Isn't this shit beneath your pay grade?

I got literally screamed at by a professor at my college today who overheard me speaking to another student about the pro-Palestinian protest on my campus. I am blown away by the absolute lack of professionalism and the completely offensive things she said. She can scream her head off, she isn't shaking our students. Palestine will be free.

[real-reulbbr-band]

I know the reason Mungojerrie isn’t as blinged out as Rumpleteazer is in their song costumes probably has more to do with budget constraints or lack of incentive, but I like to think that Rumpleteazer likes to show off her latest collection additions whereas Mungojerrie prefers to keep his goodies locked away and hidden. Mungo still shows off to who he can but just as quick as he shows he’s equally as quick to stuff it back into those socks he and Rump use to grab their treasures.

I say blinged out but all Rump has on is a pretty necklace 💀

I feel like we need to discuss metas.

(read tags and this'll make more sense)

I've heard the definition of meta as "a sentient being with powers". This is fine, a good concrete definition. But the problem is, what is a power?

Is Superman a meta? He has "powers"... except he doesn't. He has the natural Kryptonian reaction to a yellow sun. His abilities are completely natural. It's like a human looking at an ant and saying, "Oh, you can lift 20 times your own body weight, then you have a superpower. It doesn't matter that your entire species can, we, as humans, can only lift 175 lbs on average. This ant is a meta. In fact, all ants are metas."

See? It's ridiculous. Superman isn't a meta, he is an extraterrestrial and a good example of his species' average person.

Now, what about Phantom? He's a ghost. All ghosts can do what he can. He is a good example of his species' average. He didn't have a meta gene in life, and he doesn't have unusual powers now, so he isn't a meta.

Signal, he's a meta.

Martian Manhunt, he's an extraterrestrial.

Deadman, he's a ghost.

The definition of, "having powers makes you a meta" is stupid because some individuals we consider super powered are just naturally like that. I propose that we change that definition to the better, "If you have the meta gene, or have powers that aren't common among your species, then you are a meta".

Accepting this as the definition would make classification more accurate and would be beneficial to preserving the rights of metas. It is for the benefit of this society that I bring up this issue.
