One of the funniest things in Star Trek is that baseball has completely vanished from human culture by the 24th century and Sisko is seen as something of a weirdo for being so into it, meanwhile Worf was on his school soccer team and Bashir almost became a tennis pro.

the way everyone has a dislike in their profile that actually says something integral about their character. lu guang doesn't like plans getting messed up, cheng xiaoshi dislikes loneliness, xia fei with owing favors, vein with lying...
and then you have liu xiao, who dislikes... cilantro. and fish mint.
(shakes fist) (putting him in a glass jar and shaking vigorously) learn to be vulnerable!! tell me something about yourself!! I guess him liking movies lines up with the theater metaphors, and there's him liking chess, but that. doesn't count methinks
#mine musings#liveblogging link click#link click#okay the metaphor thing works out a little bit in that. it's on brand#70% of what we know about liu xiao are implicitly gained from other characters#e.g. how xf and ltc relate to him. how the liu family talk about him. how he thematically juxtaposes other characters like lg and cxs#the 30% are the things we know explicitly from him e.g. he's a rich kid with a sports car. he can hear heartbeats#he wants to merge the parallel lines or whatever#the rest are inferences like. oh okay no parallel lines? he doesn't like uncertainties i guess#the way he talks about friendship with xf and ltc? he values a transactional view of relationships#(maybe because transactions imply a certain level of certainty?)#he's the current favored child of the liu family but he wasn't before#he's a ā€œmanipulatorā€ but really that's mostly from marketing stuff and implications from canon#like. we know a lot about him but at the same time we don't#the way we just know his uncertainty -> certainty thing contrasts with lg's certainty -> uncertainty thing#we know his heartbeat hearing implies he knows everyone's level of sincerity and both xf and cxs exist as foils to that#the hunter thing with ltc. why does he believe that?#lots of ā€œbringing the darknessā€ lines in three of his songs for some reason#so like. i can't say that the show hasn't told us anything. they have but in circular ways#we don't know much about him from him directly but we do. know stuff. kinda. do you get me#all i want from YE6 is veinxiao friendship being shown so i can have new dimensions on how lx views friendship#and maybe like. a hint at what his motivations are. like why is he Like That#<- again funnier if he's just Like That from the womb. even if the liu family isn't fucked up he's still Like That#but that's not this show's style so probably not#lx notes#like the INSISTENCE of writing lx as a point of comparison or through other people's perspectives and very rarely from his own#is fascinating to me

Currently thinking about Artemis's will in the code at the bottom of TLG and how it really kinda shows how strained his relationship with his dad still is. Everyone else gets something they're interested in or that Arty thinks they'd like (sound system for Juliet, frozen chicken for Mulch, ethical investments for his mother, etc) and yet for his father he leaves only bearer bonds, despite Artemis I trying to move away from a money-focused enterprise and lifestyle as of TEC. Not to mention it's Butler who would know how to disengage all the booby traps protecting said bearer bonds, further highlighting the difference in trust & familiarity Artemis has with everyone but his father.
#artemis fowl#is this comprehensible? idk#i just think they're a fun relationship to explore#and like i get the reasons why the relationship between the two artemises isn't really elaborated on in canon#and why it exists as it does in the first place but still#your son - whom you had a very businesslike relationship with in his young childhood - talks about money when you are returned to him#after being missing for nearly two years. you tell him you failed and want to be a better father and money isn't all that is important.#a handful of years pass and your son goes missing (and is presumed dead just like you were) and yet returns just like you did#barely a year later though while grappling with his actual death and corpse you find out that no actually nothing had changed#and he still went to his grave with the only bridge between the two of you being money with no interest in other hobbies#what a thing for Tim to experience#from an overthinking and reading too much into things perspective that's heartbreaking#we never hear about Juliet's interest in sports cars or pop music yet that was included in artemis's will for her#compared to like beckett who we know likes bugs and slime and how artemis put that in his will for him#so when we get snippets of Tim's other interests (solar powered planes or his bio-hybrid prosthetic or running marathons or whatever)#and yet Arty didn't include anything about those interests in his will for his father is kinda like... huh.#you never really did change your perception of what would make your dad happy did you#and that would've destroyed Tim

For vaggie that spear is her support animal/therapist
For charlie, it's a rival she'd like to throw in lava but can't cause, it's vaggies support 'animal'
silly headcanon plot twist- Charlie's jealously at the spear ISN'T silly or irrational at all, it's a subconscious manifestation of Charlie's desperation for her girlfriend to actually open up emotionally to HER instead of to a WEAPON, confide fears and problems in CHARLIE, and a very frustrated, very also-emotionally-constipated-in-her-own-way Charlie doesn't wanna pin that frustration on Vaggie directly so she deflects all her anger to the spear, which as an inanimate objects, can't get any hurt feelings over this or decide Charlie is too much and dump her
we've done it. we've cracked the silly headcanon and found the angst waiting underneath XD XD XD
or maybe the above is all just what the hazbin crew speculates together, in their weekly "there's no way those two idiots don't have shit going on in their relationship" chaggie hotel gossip meet-ups
#hazbin hotel#chaggie#charlie morningstar#vaggie#making angst out of a silly headcanon#Husk probably both founded and runs said meet ups#t's like his support group he can vent and not lose his entire mind#at the hotel that's a front row seat to chaggie#and their obliviousness to their own unaddressed drama#angel dust treats the gossip meet-ups like a weekly soap opera and comes up with the most ideas which are pretty much garbage#including one where vaggie has an evil twin sister up in heaven#pentious takes it the most seriously#after every chaggie gossip session he picks their room to sneak into and anxiously watch them sleep (until vaggie kicks him out)#he's so WORRIED#but also sssstudying them. for tipsssss#niffty acts out all the chaggie speculation ideas in real time with dead bug puppets#other than that she just likes speculating on how many people vaggie's probably killed and how she might have done it and#how charlie would scream in horror if she found out#alastor is NEVER invited to these meet ups#he always shows up anyway#and brings heartbreak-themed snacks no one else at the meet-up ever touches#he tried bribing Razzle and Dazzle into joining in with an offer of doughnuts in exchange for their own unique insight into chaggie#they burnt the doughnuts to ash but#silently DID promise not to tell chaggie about the meetings#keekee uses the meetings to make rounds and get as many pettings as possible#chaggie drama as a spectator sport is a hotel tradition that its founder and manager have NO IDEA exists and no one has died for (yet)

So Iā€™ll be rolling my eyes throughout All of Us and thinking itā€™s annoying and lazily written and plays up a lot of queer stereotypes but then weā€™ll get commentary like this:
Tumblr media
Like Iā€™m actually in awe that Pixelberry dared to speak about biphobia and bi erasure, with a bisexual male character. One of the reasons I vastly prefer His Story to Her Story.

here's cass in her 05 design.
this is more or less how im gonna draw the backyard kids in the atari era as well just to make it easy for myself. like more rounder heads like the 97, still chibi-ish but a tad bit older?
under the read more is 05' HCs for cass
cassandra cruz HCs - 05 edition (this is more so around hockey)
after going through middle school (cause thats where i HC the kids are at least around 04) she began to play hockey more
hockey was the thing to break out of her shell as she began to be more talkative and less afraid. being able to be in the mighty whale sharks helps with teamwork, communication, resilience, discipline, adaptability, and the ability to contain her composure. being in hockey actually made her less anxious about schoolwork and homework.
her worst sports are basketball, football, and skateboard. on her spare time she does try to learn how to skateboard.
never tries to fight any of the opposing team (not allowed anyway). her checking comes from using her hockey stick to poke the puck away from the opposing team.
the mighty whale sharks is one of the many BHL teams and its the kid version of the san jose sharks. in fact cassandra's jersey number is joe thorton's jersey number but reversed: 91.
word got out that she's still called 'sparkles', so her mighty whale sharks teammates also call her 'sparkles'.
she has performed a hat trick before on two away games
there's an empty net on the opposing team and if she's near her team's goal net, she try for a long goal and hit the puck as hard as she can. it happened to get her a goal in the last seconds of a 3rd period game, getting her team the win and she couldn't believe she got it. she didnt realize she hit a goal until the horn indicated that she did. since that game, players have been calling that her big shot. she rarely makes that kind of shot in her games.
relationship HCs - 05 edition
tony: while her outgoing side shows, however, does not mean she gets less shy around tony IN FACT, she gets worse. actively just dances around it even when by now tony knows about it (but also secretly likes her too) nothing but lighthearted jabs at each other because of this. i dont know if atari still keeps the stat boosts but has the same ones in baseball 97, BUT tony also gets the stat boost when they are in the same team
joe thorton: has a friendly rivalry with joe. HC is that the pro players are in a different neighborhoods and play against the backyard kids sometimes. despite being in different neighborhoods, they're on friendly terms and talks with cass about going pro for the NHL. gets a stat boost if she's against joe
by middle school, she's best friends with angela, tony, amir, kenny, and achmed.

of course terfs would get mad at a post reminding them that thereā€™s more to being a woman than misery and suffering: theyā€™re misogynists. they hate women. their misogyny is just the ā€˜wokeā€™ kind where they re-enforce the idea that women are weaker and stupider and generally less capable compared to men but like, in a ā€˜feministā€™ way šŸ¤ŖšŸ’…
when you hate women and genuinely believe they are inferior, that they are lesser, itā€™s impossible to see that thereā€™s any joy or pride or anything positive about being a woman. especially if you yourself are a woman who believes in this kind of self-deprecating mindset.
#terfs havenā€™t opened their eyes to misogyny and sexism they are hyperfocused on it#so much so to the point where nothing else exists#misogyny exists and the world is unfair and therefore it always will be and women will always suffer and be miserable#how could anyone be happy when other people are being treated unjustly?? they must be fake women#they must be pretending to be women. thatā€™s the only possible explanation#because all REAL women know is be weak and dainty and dumb and subservient and lesser#no REAL women could ever beat a man at chess or throwing darts or jeopardy or any sport or ANYTHING#men are better than women in every single way and thereā€™s nothing we can do about it besides warn young girls of the suffering of womanhood#do you think maybe there in lies the problem with your way of thinking??#your train of thought shouldnā€™t stop at ā€˜men are better than womenā€™#(which isnā€™t even objectively true by the way. which youā€™d know if you werenā€™t a misogynist)#if you really cared about women you actually be trying to do something for little girls to be hopeful about in the future#so maybe they can grow up and realize that being a girl isnā€™t so terrible and awful and miserable#but no. youā€™d rather focus on problems that donā€™t matter and attack and shame women who donā€™t agree with you#or donā€™t look like how your whitewashed eurocentric idealized version of what a woman should look like#or god forbid do sex work and actually be comfortable and happy and proud of that line of work and lifestyle#yeah. those are the real issues REAL women should care about#give me a fucking break#anti terf#misogyny /

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the ā€œtheyā€™re so gay for each other frā€ jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesnā€™t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.
#gav gab#saw someone reblog the actual bracket intro post with among other things#ā€˜mom come pick me up theyā€™re calling tseguin a gay icon in 2023ā€™ and like#LMFAO. YEAH. FOR REAL. YOUVE SEEN WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE SEDINS YES?#anyways get outta here with that shit#people have gotten real confident with the ā€˜theyā€™re about to fuck at centre iceā€™ thing and saying hockey is a Super Gay Sport#which is a fun joke to make with your friends online ig#as annoying as i find it generally#but you do understand this isnā€™t real yes#and i know the bracket is not making claims about reality#but what it IS doing is including players like eric fucking staal#in a bracket for Gayest NHL Player#and the real life actions of staal actively make the sport unsafe for queer athletes and queer fans#stop mistaking jokes about hockey players fucking each other or writing rpf about that as any kind of activism#or any kind of actual reflection of the nhl#how do you think this is an appropriate thing to do for so many reasons lmao how are you including some of these guys on this#even before you get into some of the other insane behaviour going on in this bracket existing#ā€˜I didnā€™t pick the contestants!ā€™ you did you. youā€™re in charge.#ā€˜just hope they get voted outā€™ donā€™t include them at all whatā€™s wrong with you#why do bracket creators always act like itā€™s some kind of mandatory moral imperative they include every single thing nominated/voted in#you have agency here lmao. use it. fucking spineless.#rpf for ts#adjacent enough anyway#homophobia cw#why would you do this#lmfao the brief scroll of that blog i took the amount of ā€˜propagandaā€™ thatā€™s just ā€˜this guy has friendsā€™#wild. genuinely wild.#one request id like to make to the liveblogs this year too on a vaguely tangentially related note is#reign in your blatant and unrepentant amatonormativity please#from your local aro

in a hilarious turn of events my flatmate didn't even know I use any pronouns....
#i thought when she was talking abt how her parents thought i was gonna come out as trans and kept checking my name/pronouns-#that the joke was that im ALREADY trans but in ways they dont know abt.... but nope she genuinely didnt know šŸ¤­#to be fair. i dont rly let anyone in on my gender business unless we're close enough to be dating or its an anonymous online space#like im legally cis and thats fine. idc abt ppl using my name + she/her bc thats not my gender identity its just AN identity that i use-#to navigate the world without ppl being fucking nosy bc i pass as + am sociopolitically treated as a woman (if butch lol)#to ppl who are friends ill joke that my gender is dyke (true) and to friends whose gender falls on a similar spectrum-#or who are transmasc ill talk a little more honestly abt it bc theyre usually able to understand better than anyone else#other butch dykes w a weird gender going on are the only motherfuckers who actually Get It but theyre hard to come by tbh#to be frank i dont fucking know whats going on w my gender. and i dont rly care enough to do the introspection to figure it out rn#i have so many other problems in my life and im lucky that most of my beef w gender can be solved by presenting butch + binding#and using any pronouns around other queer ppl. its actually incredibly funny to me when ppl she/her me bc its like tch. this chump hasnt#unlocked my level of gender yet. pronouns and names in general are so far disconnected from the way i exist in the world...#its just smth thats fun for me to play around with + makes me feel weird sometimes but in ways i havent distilled yet yknow#and this has been my approach to gender for like?? 4-5 years now??? and likely will continue to be for a long while..#anyway. its not actually that surprising my flatmate doesnt know bc shes cis so ive never felt compelled to have a deeper conversation#abt gender with her. but also i could sweeaaar its been mentioned bc almost all our other friends are trans lol#and also ive been introducing myself at queer sports socials w any pronouns and i swear i talked abt that w her..... whatever#and my pronouns are on discord and shes def seen my tumblr before but maybe i didnt have them in my bio at the time... i digress#i kind of prefer cis ppl she/hering me tbh. theyre not able to they them or he him or whatever else me in a way that matters.....#altho i do find it fascinating when she or other ppl elect to use neutral or masculine terms for me. raising an eyebrow and taking notes#like when she got a job and joked abt me being her househusband.. pulling up the fem/masc tally chart and chalking a line up#a la nona the ninth.... ive been trying to figure out whos inhabiting this body my entire fucking life with no luck girl#ANYWAY just smth to think abt. im so tired i think my brain is gonna start seeping out my eyeballs#im gonna watch some more pluto and read and then -> šŸ›Œ#another 6:30 start tomorrow woohoo#.diaries#zzzzz

anyway idk why anyone wants spain to win the wc?? if u donā€™t rly watch or follow womens football, just do a quick google on vilda & the federation. of note also: england is wonderful! great squad, FANTASTIC coach! itā€™s frustrating to see ppl know literally no history abt their past year even & want them to lose based off of one (1) match. most importantly, if ur enjoying this world cup, šŸ™„ follow womens football šŸ™„

can't even enjoy any matcheup because I'm too worried about zverat still being in the draw and potentially winning a slam
i don't want to be too negative about this ask but like. if this is how you feel you should not watch. like i 100% understand this feeling but if you are too distressed about him to actually enjoy the sport then it's really not worth it. you deserve to be able to enjoy tennis in a way that doesn't hinge on that outcome.

ive been like. vaguely forming a modern vesperia au for a couple months and maybe I'll write something set in this au but. my fave part of it is that flynn and yuri dated for like. 6 years in their teens and then got courthouse married at 19 and then divorced before either of them could legally drink. and then they end up getting back together again after shenanigans from judith
#other highlights of this au that exists in my brain and my dms with my sibling include#raven is rita and karols legal guardian . karol was adopted from an orphanage and raven was the listed next-of-kin of ritas dad#so he took her in after he passed#flynn and judy have a history class together and meet n bond because flynn wants to pet her Very Large Dog#yuri is renting the spare bedroom in ravens house#estelle patty and rita all go to the same school . estelle and rita are mutually crushing#and patty sits w them at lunch bc shes trying to get close to ā€œritas hot older brotherā€ (yuri) and rita hates that she thinks theyre related#judy and yuri meet shortly after yuri and flynn get divorced and end up having a one night stand#during which judy realizes shes (aro?) ace#and the 2 become close friends after#karol is a middle schooler and hes played on every sports team but he Really wants to be good at soccer to impress nan#yuri and flynn end up getting courthouse married AGAIN and then get married Again Again to have a small ceremony with friends#alexei is ravens abusive boyfriend and boss. raven is his glorified secretary and flynn is his intern#yuri takes flynn and raven drinking one night and raven gets wasted and tells flynn allllll about how alexei is a piece of shit#and then the next day. alexei is Mysteriously hit by a car and flynn refuses to say where he was when it happened other than 'with yuri'#shut up j#dumb#fluri#yeah sure ill post this in main tags#tales of vesperia#yuri lowell#flynn scifo#flynn also gets 1 week a month with repede legally as part of the divorce

thoughts on having team light sticks? (hockey version) https://x.com/SC87DAILY/status/1877890227223609606
im sure we mean proper kpop lvl of sticks here that would be sold year round and not the lightstick and wristbands they give to fans during playoffs and im sure the novelty of it is great but also do you know how funny itd from a display perspective? here are my freebies, here are my pucks, and also this is my intricate team lightstick that i use as a flashlight when its hurricane season because inevitably my power will get cut for a week. yeah i already display my kpop stuff with my sports stuff this is funny sure why not why the hell not
my only gripe it has to be funny and unique (dreamcatcher blood orb sceptre aka the mongmongie) or a weapon (blackpink pyongbong, ikon konbat, cherry bullet cherry gun, spiritually the neobong goes here from the amount of times the block part of it went flying during concerts because members kept swinging it too hard that thing was a damn weapon in their hands) and i cant say i particularly trust the teams to make something funny and unique but you know anything is possible i suppose

I recently decided to semi revive some of my crusty dusty splatoon ocs from when I was like 12, so hereā€™s all of the goobers! Meet Cherry (she/her), Slosh (he/they), Egg (they/them), and Blast (she/they)
#keese draws#splatoon#splatoon oc#inkling#inkling oc#octoling#octoling oc#since they were from me being like 12 I. barely remember anything abt them.#I remember the most abt cherry and slosh but that basically amounts to their names and gender#the other two I only rember existing through vibes lol#anyways! I am never drawing splatoon weapons again! holy shit that fucking sucked!#on the bright side I got to mess around a bit with some hair style concepts Iā€™ve been rotating in my head#also Iā€™m still working on giving these guys an updated story but my basic idea is that theyā€™re a professional tower control team that has#been facing some conflicts as of late due to them all getting old enough to start having aspirations outside of their team#cherry is from the domes but her parents left with her when she was around 10#blast went to the same school as her and the two became pretty close friends as selective mute buddies#then at some point cherry caught wind of this cool new sport called tower control and was like woahhh I wanna do that#so she just went up to the first person near the battle lobby she could find and was like hey how do I join?#and he got super excited since he has a reputation for being incapable of shutting up so someone willing coming up to him came as a shock#they showed her where to get weapons and how to join battles and the two became battle buddies real quick#this lead to blast getting super worried and anxious as she didnā€™t want to see her only friend get hurt or stolen from her#at which point cherry was like oh I know! why donā€™t you come battle with us?#and blast was like wait wait wait no what if I die and dont come back and then die again :[#they managed to come to a compromise for a while tho and eventually blast was able to just barely squish past her fear enough to start#being kind of interested in tower control as she had started watching the other two play#and while she was still anxious abt the idea eventually she sheepishly admitted she wanted to give it a try#and she ended up really liking it! so the three kept playing together#and eventually they started to feel more and more like an actual team and egg noticed#they had been scouting a team to join for a lil while now and after getting to play with the three quite a few times and getting on friendly#terms with them they were like hey what if we became like an actual team who do tournaments and stuff

went into tag of an anime that is Special To Me and literally one of the first posts that isnt just a random photo with "#animecore" "#2000score" "#aesthetic" tags is just someone shit talking the show for "being too sad" and "based on a dating sim" and "its from the 2000s"
#like no you dont Have to like it but also did you have to post your hate in the MAIN TAGS?#also like.... oh no the drama show is dramatic. like yeah idk what you expected. you dont have to like it but also its kinda Known for that#also mad about the 'its based on a dating sim' being like. a whole thing they said to say It's Bad like....... firstly being based on a#specific type of media or Being a specific type of media doesn't make something bad Inherently. like yeah something in that medium can#Be Bad absolutely no question there but it's not inherently bad Because it's that medium yknow?? like im not gonna say all sports games are#shit just because Some sports games are shit yknow?? like yeah dating sims have A Reputation but also i just think 'it was based on#something in one medium so that inherently makes it bad' is a very dumb argument like. okay well they turned it into something thats Not#that medium (and also theres like a Singular romance in the anime so?? like what does it being based on a dating sim really affect here#beyond. idk it was based on that and the other characters still Exist in Some Way) sooo.... like does it Really matter that much#also 'from the 2000s' is an even stupider argument imo like.... man if we just dismissed Everything from the past as 'bad' because its from#the past like... that'd be ridiculous - like sure it may have Moments that show its age but also like. so do a lot of things? and that's no#inherently a flaw? it's just that... it's not as recent! like yeah older media shows its age and sometimes you're like 'why did they do tha#or 'why was this sorta thing so common' but it doesn't make something Bad for something to Be Old??? like what are you talking about#sorry normally I don't get frustrated when I see stuff like this and Talk but also. people being rude in the Main Tags (don't do that!) but#also these arguments are ones that I just think. are not good arguments#like idc that this person didnt like it but i do mind that i had to see this and also that in their post they were like 'dont watch this'#and their reasons as to Why you shouldnt were..... those reasons#like 'its too sad' is a personal opinion and 'its old and based on a specific type of game' isnt really. something that makes it bad
