No..... I dont think its crazy to have sales expectations for a highly-anticipated game you believe can succeed & is the direct follow-up to a title that won GOTY

I get the frustration but blaming EA for everything nonstop is killing me

Lighter with a chubby s/o more flesh for a pillow! (and also to hold...)

i am so sorry anon, i have a smaller figure (on the thinner and small side) so i will try my absolute best to write something but please forgive me if i get anything wrong. if there are any mistakes, please give any feedback so that i can improve. if there are any lighter writers who have a chubby body type, i would be more than happy to reblog their post instead !!

we’ve established that lighter LOVES cuddles, and your body type is absolutely perfect for that. not to say that he has a preference, he loves you either way.

there are times where he wants you laying on top of him and he’s insistent on making it happen. you can tell him 193739370272 times that you’re too heavy for him and to that… he’d just give the dumbest grin because you both know how strong he is. he loves wrapping his arms around you while also comforting you that he is alright. something about seeing you look up at him with your chubby cheeks has him head over heels, wanting to caress them but the thought embarrasses him so much that he fails to so his hand is just awkwardly in the air (we love a boyfailure)

OH I THINK HE’D LOVE LAYING HIS HEAD ON YOUR LAP/THIGHS !! they’re the perfect pillows and especially after a long day…. he’s a simple man, all he needs is to lay on your lap, have your fingers in his hair while he not so secretly gazes into your eyes behind his sunglasses. a sigh escapes his lips, what a perfect way to end the day.

and if ANYONE makes any negative comments about your looks, he’s already challenging them to a fight. as he said, “an issue that can be solved by fists is no issue at all” and he stands by that. especially about his beloved, no one is allowed to throw insults at you or at him and if they do…. well we’ll see if they can rise from the ashes.

nickel and balloon would be so much more interesting if people explored the way nickel became everything awful that balloon used to be but so much worse ironically all in the name of "protecting" everyone from that history repeating. and not softboy tsundere yaoi or whatever is going on in those tags rn

far be it from me to defend the swedish language, it is a clown language for clowns.* but after suffering through every english speaking podcast and video essayist talking about midsommar**, i don't know if i have it in me to listen to my mother mispronouncing Göteborg as "gjæteborg" for much longer***

*) i have a permit to say this. (the permit is my norwegian passport)

**) PLEASE stop stressing and stretching the -ar. the stress should be on Mid and Som. please. midsummer is an english word that exists and people know how to say i don't understand why people make midsommar out to be so weird

***) i have tried to correct her. the ö is just ø. it's the ä that is æ. she either a) does not believe me, b) immediately forgor, or c) does not realize she is still saying it wrong

Unironically, Ben Shapiro's greatest win against the left was turning left/centerleft laypeople off from the idea of a 'debate with facts and logic' because of his bad faith arguments. Like it's almost...triggering to people, and that leaves a lot of people with unsharpened ideas and an unwillingness to explain them in a rigorous manner.

One example phenomenon that this has fed into is a continuing degradation in the lines of thought people use to reach certain conclusions - so person A expresses opinion X that person B agrees with, but because person B never really sees the entire line of thought laid out by anyone else, their formulation of opinion X based on their own intuition might randomly lean on some idea Y which person A doesn't care about. As a result, if Idea Y lacks actual backing, person B might wrongly defend opinion X and give an impression that the entire thing is flimsy, or person B might lose their own footing and assuredness and change sides.

I also think that he so badly mangled the concept of debate in the casual public consciousness that it's a contributing factor to the vague anti-academic sentiment in recent years. (Which, while academia as an institution has problems, there's certainly an undercurrent of less directed discontent that is contributing to low public opinion of education as a whole - and a greater feeling expressed on social media that 'casual reference of marquee media' is in a way insulting to people who have not consumed it, rather than an invitation to partake or something you can pass by without caring. Not on tumblr though, where we see Dracula and then we read Dracula.)

tl;dr his pseudo-intellectualism meaningfully contributed to certain common sentiments of anti-intellectualism because of how badly and annoyingly he and the people who emulate(d) him did/do it.

Six One Sentence Sunday

From the quantum-entanglement-but-with-variants fic, a sentence in which a surprising amount of plot-relevant information is imparted to the reader:

“Chicken McNuggets,” says Loki, and then slaps himself, hard. 

(I was going to do the usual six sentences but had trouble finding six that made sense on their own so instead here's one that doesn't.)

yeah harassing 14yos is bad but nothing in the screenshots that person sent was.. harrassing. its just people discussing and agreeing with how fucking weird it is to insist on a black man becoming a brutal cannibal beast for an au. do you not agree with that?

Though I never input my opinion on that. I will say it was messed up to make Cacao a cannibal.

However the screenshots were to show who was doing the harassment. Not the actual harassment. And the reasons for the harassment.

@beatrixblog actively apologized and deleted the post of their fanfic about that.

However, it did not take an apology for others to stop harassing them for their mistake. Not only did RiverArts cause the situation to go public, they allowed people other than themselves to actively harass @beatrixblog for their mistake. (They have specified that it was not only RiverArts and the people in the screenshots that was involved in the situation but others)

If you’re gonna ask why wasn’t the harassment screenshot then? Either while attempting to deal with the situation the harassers deleted their comments or the photo limit was reached when @beatrixblog sent in the screenshots. (For Mobile the photo limit is either 9 or 5) there are plenty of reasons why someone wouldn’t just send me a whole collection of their harassment.

Furthermore,there were multiple Twitter users that depicted Berserk Cacao as Animalistic, and even Twitter users who argued over a Dragon Cacao post to and I quote.

‘If you want Cacao to be animalistic or more of a monster, then you should just use Berserk Cacao’

Yet when someone, A MINOR or someone who DID give Cacao animalistic traits or traits of a monster, they were actively harassed and bullied for their situation. (Screenshots not shown for whatever reason)

3rd

While I do agree that it is MESSED UP to place cannibalistic traits to a black person, I do question how and why that is racist, do enlighten me or correct me in my understanding as

I will remain neutral to this situation and only generalize the fact that you are not entitled to harass minors for their mistake.

Furthermore, I too would like to see how people correct me if I am wrong to think this way but…

Is it really racist if a black person is cannibal?

I’m not saying this is a real life situation cause that’s just messed up as hell, but if one were to make a black person cannibal is it considered racist?

Please correct me if it is absolutely offensive I will personally like you to educate me about that.

From what I understand, you cannot make a black person cannibal cause that generalizes that black people are violent and dangerous. And to put black people in that kind of generalization is wrong.

But what about characters that are actually violent and dangerous and have racial representation? Is that considered racist?

Example:

If a black character turns out to be a serial killer, and then gets arrested, is that considered racist? Or is it racist for that black character to be used as a victim and for the serial killer to be white?

Example 2:

If a black character resorts to cannibalism or likes cannibalism is it mere psychotic or racist? Or is it racist that a black character gets eaten by a white cannibal character?

Because cannibalism is a generalization for every race not just white people.

Again, as I have repeatedly said, is it racist to depict a black character as cannibal? Depending on the situation the black character could be cannibal.

Again I do agree that it is highly MESSED UP, but I really need others to consider this question because hell even I am confused.
