the point of pointing out racism, specifically in how the fandom treats Gaz, is to focus on Gaz and other poc characters. taking that energy and making it about a white man leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
#this is not about pointing out how people replace Gaz with König by the way#that’s a pattern that should be called out#and look I get it#‘this from a König stan?’#I don’t care if you want to write König as an asshole or whatever#I love spite!! I’ll do anything out of spite!! spite is productive!!#but if the end result is more content about König and less for Gaz#I would rather you not did anything at all#don’t get your priorities twisted#cod#call of duty#gaz#kyle gaz garrick#könig#konig#discourse

I fucking love it when u can tell someone’s just in love with a celebrity from the way they write about them like “yeah he may be socially awkward and extremely weird and bad at his job sometimes but he’s just a charming silly guy:) he’s just funny idk:)”

Not gonna lie, maybe this is supremely petty of me (it is), but as someone who is the very embodiment of a casual gamer and can name vastly more video games than he has ever actually played, the backlash to the Minecraft movie trailer is perversely satisfying to me, because... yeah no shit, of course this was what Hollywood was always going to turn out.
Like did you really think that a video game movie languished in development hell for a decade because they were just sitting on an absolute gold mine of an idea, and not that they had consistently and singularly failed to get any idea off the ground? Then again, the Mario movie was supposedly going to be the absolute worst thing in history because Chris Pratt, only to have the discourse completely shift to how wrong the evil/woke critics were to think the Italian plumber kids' movie wasn't the single defining moment of twenty-first century cinema.
So y'know, capital G gamers are both fickle and whiny. Shocking information. See you all in a few months when a clip referencing the Yogscast or some shit goes viral and everyone decides that you're not allowed to bad-mouth it without being shot in the back of the head and dumped on the I-405.
sidebar to get ahead of this before some smart-arse points it out: "oh you're just mad 'cause they called out critics"
uh yeah actually i do kinda take issue with hordes of people spouting borderline anti-intellectual rhetoric about how the thing i do for a pseudo-living is empty and meaningless. it's just like the widespread "haha what if the author just wanted to make le curtains le blue" snickering. like yeah am i expecting everyone to deep dive into the relationship between auteurism and profit under the capitalist studio system in order to analyse a random book trilogy? no of course not, i fully understand that i'm just very mentally ill and probably have an outsized grasp of my own writing abilities.
but looking down your nose at people who choose to think about media in that way is indicative of nothing more than your own staggering lack of curiosity, and it's a pretty good answer for how you get to a declaration that the people of the uk have had enough of experts, or a world in which there's a real possibility that americans are somehow going to look at the events of 2017 to 2021 and say "more of that please" come november.
so no, don't expect me to coddle your desire to retreat from the world back into your fond childhood memories just for the sake of it. that's not a critic's job.
#minecraft#a minecraft movie#video games#and look i get it#full disclosure i played minecraft religiously as a kid#one of the few video games i ever truly hyperfixated on#so like this is not a game-specific matter for me#i just have an active loathing for so much of gaming culture and the way it's come to predominate online discussions#and the mario movie really was a turning point where i realised how infantile and insecure so much of it is#i mean it's not exclusive to gaming by any means#but by the nature of the internet gaming culture is amplified in the way that shitty takes on tv shows or films aren't

It is genuinely so crazy to me how many people are willing to find empathy for nazis in fiction but cannot do the same for soviets. I'm gonna fucking lose it.

finished watching the Book of Atlantic movie~ at first I was kinda bummed up bc I couldn't find to watch in full HD, only 720p maximum, but then I saw the cgi and realized maybe it was a divine blessing in disguise
#black butler#kuroshitsuji#book of atlantic#that was like 2017#cgi in anime was always a huge hit or miss#especially in the beginning#but OH MY GOD#even the people dancing here cgi???#i remember seeing some post joking that 80% of the budget went to ciel's contract eye glow in one scene#and look i get it#it's a movie you want to cut some corners#fine#but i just wish studios would allow themselves to be properly animated like the old days#og anime was rough sometimes#but when they but their soul into it you would feel it through the scene#idk how this started as an basic comment#and turned into a mini-rant abt modern animation#i'm sorry

>Join a union
>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on
>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members
>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on
#anyway this is why i'm the way i am about politics and people who advocate against 'participating in the system'#i am on my way to becoming one of the ten guys and frankly? it's fucking exhausting#i chatted with the union president afterwards and he got this haunted look in his eye#and was like 'i'm glad to see you getting involved but remember you can say no. you can always say no.#don't let anyone bully you into doing more than you want to. make time for yourself. YOU CAN SAY NO.'#which was good and much appreciated advice! but also. ominous

temple at the end of the road
#artists on tumblr#i'm surprisingly okay with saying goodbye to summer this year#never had anything against autumn but i hate winter#but now i'm a little bit even looking forward to it?#maybe my mood is just better#hopefully the seasonal depression doesn't get a hold of me to change that#for now i'm very happy with hot soups and warm blankets

#pink posts#i saw a tweet that was like “i see other people's art” --> i get discouraged#i understand that seeing art that is prettier than yours can be discouraging but why not twist that a bit?#why does it look prettier to you? is it the colors#is it the textures they used? the brushes?#study them and try to put your spin on it#and maybe you'll find your art beautiful as well

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well
bonus under the cut:
#i'm not sure if ford would really be interested in using the internet much#but i could see him wanting to look something up real quick and ending up reading something so outrageously wrong#that it pisses him off to the point that he gets into an argument about it lol#gravity falls#stan pines#stanley pines#stanford pines#digital art#my stuff#anyway i really don't like how this one turned out#but i don't feel like changing it#bc i already spent way more time on this than i actually wanted to#and i don't wanna look at it any longer

#minecraft#the legend of zelda#tloz#murderbot#tmbd#the murderbot diaries#httyd#how to train your dragon#pokemon gets a free pass bc they already do animated movies and detective pikachu looked good#the sonic movie gets a pass too bc it isn't at fault for being good enough to start the live action craze. i forgive it#id included#ramblings#thank god kirby isn't dealing with all this. can you imagine.

if female top nudity weren't viewed as inherently sexually explicit. oh brother. I would be letting those puppies hang like you wouldn't believe
#bolo speaks#I look good and I know I look good + doing soccer with lots of amab people has made me aware of just how sweaty that extra layer can get

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love
#peach rambles#you don’t have to get rid of blorbo and squimbus!! they would look great on top of your beautiful new nightstand you’ve been excited about#hall of fame i guess#i get. the sneaking suspicion this post has inspired at least two other posts#to the effect of ‘uhmmm i was ALWAYS excited about these things??’#yes i did have to do my own chores as a kid prommy. i just didn’t have feelings about stuff yet ok
