#and I am honestly baffled

[silverstarfics]

my lecturer: I would like each of you to pick a fictional character who you are emotionally attached to. They can be from any TV show or movie or book.

me, making notes: Scott Tracy

my lecturer: over the next month you will analyse this character and identify why you are drawn to them.

me: …say what now

gameplay combat comments (complaints)

jesus fucking christ i am playing a warrior next bc it SUCKS how long you have to wait to get one… i’m so fucking squishy and so is everyone else but the horrible armored mercenaries just spend all of combat SPRINTING directly at me and so i spend 15 minute dodge rolling around while neve/harding/bellara barely make a dent in them. it’s not fun!!!! this is not fun combat! WHEN WILL I FINALLY GET A TANK… like i know i’m bad at combat at the best of times but spells for mage also feel so slow i wish i could kill the animation and just get to damage bc by the time it’s gone off i have gotten stabbed 3 times and am on the brink of death

it’s also baffling to me that tumblr, home of the ‘why are white men Still being cast as the doctor’ for So many years now (For you know, like over a decade.) is somehow not appalled that they hired a white dude to be the next Doctor because look okay it’s okay if it’s This white man. 

I mean, I do not consent to acknowledge that they’ve shoved him in there under any circumstance, but my Only need for the casting of the next person was that it was Not a white man, otherwise i didn’t care who it was, so when they “announced” Gatwa I was satisfied (i am hesitant to say they announced it bc it was more like a tiny footnote than an announcement, oh the disrespect) and it took a whole seven days (it was literally seven days. Yes i counted. it was easy since it was only seven days) it was ‘actually sorry no it’s this white dude we’ve already had before did we forget to mention that???’ and it’s steadily gotten worse and worse. 

That This site of all places is not up in arms about both the situation and how it specifically played out is depressing, but also massively and darkly hilarious.  

Especially since i Also remember nobody on this site thought casting Whittaker was good enough but literally going backward to a previous white man is?? This is not even a metaphor about diversity getting worse, they literally looked backwards. 

But, yeah,  tenn/ant with the ‘what the future looks like’ headline is uh... Good???? Not super worrying and ominous? 

I feel like i’ve been dumped in some weird parallel universe by reactions to all of this on here like??? the whole way this was done was appalling, the situation is appalling, but i guess the bbc/disney should get a rousing round of applause for accurately judging that nobody would care about their poor actions if the specific white guy they cast was popular enough that next to nobody would care. 

( and to the ‘it’s an anniversary ep’ thing, they legit could have just set a couple of eps in the past. i don’t mean they travel to the past. i mean just say ‘hey this ep is set during s4!’ and nobody would care. this show does weirder stuff than this every second episode. and it would still be bad, but how they did it is so much Worse.)

Blood Over Bright Haven

high fantasy set in a walled city that protects its citizens from the deadly Blight outside

a woman who’s become the first ever female highmage in a sexist environment, is competing with her new peers to discover a way to source a spell allowing them to extend the border walls

she’s mocked and given only a janitor as an assistant - a man from the nomadic indigenous groups outside the walls, who came to the city as a last resort and lives as a second class citizen

when they discover the horrifying secret behind what powers their magic, she’s forced to question everything she knows, and put aside her own goals in pursuit of the truth

a magic system like programming

How is this happening again?

What is happening?

[fumblingmusings]

If you were to put countries on a sliding scale of 'most closely connected and tied to their people living amongst them having friends amongst them and actively seeking ways of engaging with them' versus 'existing purely in the work for government/military as required and the only meaningful relationships they have is with other countries'... where would you put certain nations?

Say France with his casual moving and advise giving ways (radio show or simply having conversations with people on the street), America and Canada with the semi-close but still distant YouTube channels and living in suburban areas or England and Japan with their minders/secretaries that they are close with but otherwise don't venture outside of a small circle and live in the countryside versus Spain who didn't even notice his people were having one of the worst internal conflicts in modern history during his civil war.

supernatural is literally just gay x files and instead of the government they're being sabotaged by internalized homophobia

genuine question bc i just started following f1 mid-season last year so i’m probably not up to speed on all the nuances of daniels’s Lore™️ but why do so many people hate his fucking guts?? like did he do something irredeemable or what?? bc to me there are several drivers (current, not naming names) who are wayyyy more unlikeable and also don’t consistently perform well sooooo

[splickedylit]

pileing isnt sex dude

I think you sent this to the wrong person lol

[nothing-to-see-around-here]

I had a dream where Techno was SCP-035 and Phil was SCP-049 and it had always lived rent free in my brain cus... yeah. I totally don't ship the scps and that's why I can't stop thinking of Techno using his knowledge of many languages to flirt with him and Phil understanding every word but just trying to act unfaced

[mydaylight]

I spend so much time thinking about how the new additions to the cast are going to affect the plot it's going to be funny when these new side characters end up having like. 5 minutes screen time each
