Is no one gonna point out the misogynoir in Nicki mocking Megan's height and foot size?

If anyone starts treating Noa like how ppl treated Korra then I will fight you

rotating the pub scene from 73 yards in my mind i think there is so much being said there about wales and welsh/english tension that is so interesting and is going so under discussed

There's got to be a word for the feeling of wanting to stare directly at the camera. Because I don't think 'irony' is the right word for 'finish watching a show where a fictional politician wins despite outrageous views/policies, only to switch on the news to see a real life politician make outrageously blatant comments of a racist and xenophobic nature on live television'.

Reading the original reanimator novel is wild because it’ll just be standard sci-fi horror shenanigans for a few chapters and then there’s a random extremely racist rant about a black boxer that the duo was experimenting on only for the book to just move on entirely and go back to its standard sci fi horror shenanigans

It just completely sucks because like after years of giving them the benefit of a doubt and like “yeah they’re super religious but they aren’t HATEFUL” but feeling totally disconnected from them and like I’d never be accepted by them, i go out a limb and REALLY give them that benefit and go “well they’re not hateful so this could go better than i think:)” and it went exactly the way i thought it would, and worse, because i got harassed by my father for two months while my mother still has not said anything. I completely went out on a limb and was open and honest and even afterwards, after their initial bad reaction (they didn’t say I love you or goodbye after I left or anything, by the way) I wrote this really open and honest and heartfelt letter where I STILL tried to give them the benefit of a doubt and think “surely they will understand me” and you know what I got back? The most insane dog pile of shit you could imagine. Plus the two months’ harassment. Taught me my whole life’s assumptions were correct and I could never be open and honest with my parents about serious things and things that are important to me ever because they would ALWAYS vilify and misconstrue them. The plus side to this is that now I know that warning them ahead of time about big things doesn’t work, if I ever get into a visibly queer relationship I’m not telling. I’m just showing up to Christmas with them. Since forewarning doesn’t work you know. Surprise!!

do you guys think pikmin 3 as a cautionary tale sustainability wise is a good research project idea or am I going to have tomatoes thrown at me in the town square

[atopvisenyashill]

on the one hand i think it’s obnoxious the targ nation people completely discount bran as a character let alone as a narrative force on par with dany bc i think the most meaningful parallels for the magical arc AND the iron throne/kingship arc lay between those two on the other hand…look at how those people are reacting to hotd lmao i’m probably better off not having to read those takes

chat AP exams are happening and I'm cooked. I thought I was cooking, but I was mistaken. Iam trhuly and thoroughly cooked. I have lost my title as chef.

I am no longer the rat.

I have become the ratatouille 😔

I'm not gonna screenshot it bc 1/it really doesn't matter that much and 2/the person who made the comment is a kid but: a while ago I made a comic that's supposed to be a genuine study and reinterpretation of someone else's sprite comic (made in the spirit of authenticity too - to recreate the vibes of the sprite comics from that era, iirc very specifically because it's funny) and I got a comment on that comic's post that's like "glow up"

which is a compliment obvs. and the commenter probably didn't mean anything by it, it's a common expression. but I've been trying to find a way to gracefully put that comment away ever since it appeared lol

I just very much don't want my art to be taken as trying to one-up someone else's art when that's not the piece's intention. especially when the piece that inspired my art is perceived as "low effort" or "shitpost" or stuff like that. I did mention in the tags of that post that my considering it a study is entirely genuine, and I can legitimately write pages about the cool stuff I find in it other than and inherent in the haha funneys, but that's not for you guys that's for me. I just think that approaching art competition-first like that is a miserable way to do it, and (tipping into overthinking here if the whole tiny-comment-got-stuck-in-my-brain-for-almost-a-month part hasn't given that away yet lol) I really don't want that to be the takeaway from my own art. at least generally. if I actually think the source material is trash and what I'm doing is genuinely categorically better I'd just come out and say it lmao

[m-kyunie]

dress me up pretty, I want to be pretty for you, you, Yuu

[jennrypan]

As much as I love shipping and romance. It gets suuuper fucking BORING when a tag is all about shipping.

First it was the loki series with those god awful ships, mobius and loki or fucking sylvie and loki and no one actually talking about the show, but which person should get loki or not (Spoiler; Neither, they both suck.)

Now it's the planet of the apes movie??? Weirdly enough. Like..okay. sure, I get it but did no one get anything else from that movie 😶 nothing at all besides shipping? Noa was more focused on saving his clan than tryna date a human. (Who almost drowned his family mind you.) Like I'm alll for exploring a Human and ape thing but not THEM cuz that wasn't what was should've been important, it was just a stepping stone in the right direction. But to each their own.

It's just. Fascinating fr

Hi! I probably missed it in your writing but what are the age differences (if any) in UtB and Spoils between Efnisien and Gwyn?

Hi anon!

You haven't missed it because I don't think I've made it explicit. When ages are very close to each other I tend to get confused a lot more easily because of the dyscalculia. The reality is I rarely specifically work out many character's exact ages, or the years that they were born. (As an example, if I say a character is 29 then they mentally stay 29 for me even if we jump ahead 10 years).

I would say Efnisien and Gwyn were actually born within about a year of each other, but don't quote me on that, because there might be references to them being in different years in school etc. But I always imagine them as being very close because I imagine Penny and Crielle sort of timing things to be close together.

In the canon, Efnisien was born first. But they were still fairly close to each other.

The only reason I can put up with humanity sometimes is because I’m a vegan and I’ve spent so long convincing people that we’re animals too I’ve begun to believe it.

Like I would not yell at a dog for being annoying so I will not yell at a Greg. He’s just an animal. He just wasn’t socialised properly. He just needs a snack and a time out and I’m sure we can settle this like adults.

It’s also helped me be kinder to myself, like when the world feels like it’s falling apart that probably means I need enrichment so I have to take myself for a walk. Nine times of our ten the problem is fixed
