she's so sick of him<3

something i wish i'd see more in trigun fanarts is people having vash speak their native/non-english languages completely unprompted, ive seen folks have him speak french, which he canonically knows, but i really do believe he's a polyglot. mostly because of that one time in the desert when he saw the samurai and wanted to greet him in japanese but struggled to remember how to even say hello.

my headcanon is that rem had them learn as many languages as possible but with the big fall and so many people dying, which i think is what led english to became No man's land main (or even only?) language, means that vash (and knives!) both got horribly out of practice and are various sort of rusty in every others languages.

what im saying if there's any pun or joke you've been dying to write but just doesn't work in english vash (and knives!!) are right there!

my mum sat me and my brother down age 6 and put the box set of the originals on and my life has never been the same

peter bringing mayday with him to do spider stuff because yeah, he had things to live for before--but now he has a child and he is going to raise this child and be there for her and maybe if she’s there, strapped to his chest, he’ll be more careful. he’ll consider his life almost as precious as hers. maybe bringing mayday to work is a precaution.

the main difference between WOT and ROP fandoms is that if you tell WOT fans you're a show-only and don't know anything about the source material, they will go to extreme lengths to protect you from even the most inconsequential of spoilers such as a joke mat told on page 157 of book 1 which will never be relevant to the show in any capacity, whereas if you tell ROP fans you're a show-only and don't know anything about the source material, they will take the opportunity to give you a full-spoiler education on the history of middle earth whether you asked for it or not.

might be a controversial take .. but i think it's really fascinating how libs will literally cry and throw up about how YOU have no choice but to vote blue, even if they're sending weapons to kill babies overseas..because "we" cannot survive a trump presidency.

it's life or death for us but not for the people that have to dodge literal bombs everyday. they say that ' trump will be worse' when it comes to genocide, but what they really mean is "what if it happens to US?". which as we learned from the last time we had him as president... that did not happen.

you can argue "but project 2025!!", but we can argue "but what about cop city?". or the anti LGBT bills were already introduced under Biden? you can argue that trump will enact fascism in the US and i will say have you listened to any news that isnt msnbc or CNN. like have you been listening to the college students getting their heads bashed in by cops for protesting genocide or tweets by the people who's generations are being wiped out in real time...

the truth is that "we" have survived 4 years of trump, just as we have survived 4 years of biden. we can afford the risk of choosing third or not giving votes to either party, to try SOMETHING different ..ANYTHING . it's the fuckin least we could do.

i know being rude just makes ppl double down on their views but they make it so hard

[apotelesmaa]

Saw one of those shorts that are like “here’s what ur favorite x says about you” for pjsk and it was like if u like emu we get it you like this one you’re so annoying she’s overrated 😡 mizuki is a basic choice/if you like rui you need help ur insane/ur pretentious if u like mafuyu/nobody gaf about nene etc but if u like tsukasa that’s the correct answer. Now this is why I think tsukasa stans are not seeing the pearly gates. I’m going to start gatekeeping tsukasa until his fans become less annoying.

tbh i think a lot of you who speak on booktok really have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

Watching a few people give stupid criticism over Gen Loss that makes 0 sense, from being annoyed that not everyone’s a perfect actor to being annoyed that it isn’t Hollywood level stuff.

I also saw someone say “ I can’t suspend my belief because that’s not how online media works” no my dude that’s how fictional media works

when you watch a movie or show you suspend your belief for the sake of enjoying it

It’s the same for watching online horror content, like locks 58 or Walten Files or Mandela Catalogue. A lot of those have elements that wouldn’t make sense in the real world but it’s not the real world, it a fictional one with horror and paranormal elements, you have to suspend your belief to enjoy it

If you wanted high budget stuff, then don’t want indie content online, and certainly do not complain about it that’s so stupid

I’m not saying it’s perfect but like if your complaint that Ranboo ( who funded his passion project on it own like any other artist typically does) doesn’t have the large budget to create something you’d find in the movies, I have to wonder if you respect indie creators at all

I also wonder if we watched the same thing and I midly get concerned with the way we consume media online a little

Why is Visual Basic not compatible with Visual Basic for Applications!!! And why did none of the documentation mention this!!!!

just saw a mildly irritating post that talked about seeing takes about how sdv is actually bourgeoisie or whatever (am not reblogging because the rest of the post was honestly kind of unrelated and i want to talk about this sdv claim w/o derailing the rest of it) as if that take popped out of the void when i know for a fact that that take specifically is a response to the much more common "stardew valley is actually a leftist anti-capitalist utopia" type takes, a thing that is even less true about stardew valley than claiming it's bourgeoisie

like. the double standard of making completely detached from reality statements about how left-wing the ideals of stardew are, and then claiming people making the opposite take are armchair activists like... you don't think claiming that you play sdv because it fits totally with your leftist values (rather than that you play it because it's cute and fun or any other thing you are probably actually choosing to play it based on) is a form of armchair activism? isnt it more weird to need everything in your life to perfectly align to your politics, not in the sense that you select your pastimes based on those politics, but that you select them based on non-political criteria & then insist to everyone that Actually This Is Based On My Politics even when we can all plainly see that it's not???

stardew valley is a little farming sim. whether you like to play it or not says nothing about your irl politics. but literally just by looking at what you do in the game, which is produce things so you can sell them to make more things, you guys cannot seriously be claiming THIS is your anti-capitalist utopia and get weirdly mad and project this sense of armchair activism onto people who point out that it just literally isn't. sdv is a lot of things, but anti-capitalist is so totally not one. and i have no interest in explaining the intricacies of how the sdv farmer could be capitalist when they throw joja out of town, because frankly i have seen other posts about that and i have yet to see anyone involved in arguing for #sdvleftistutopia demonstrate any understanding of like. well like even the most basic understanding of class dynamics or that the word bourgeoisie has a specific meaning that is distinct from 'rich person' or 'ceo of corporation'.

also everyone takes it wayyyy personal like saying that sdv isn't anti-capitalist somehow translates to saying anyone who plays sdv and is anti-capitalist is actually a FAKE LEFTIST BETRAYING THEIR VALUES which is just not what anyone is saying ever and acting like they are kills the conversation dead. the conversation that YOU STARTED by claiming sdv was leftist or whatever

inb4 anyone gets on my ass about letting people do what they want, i LOVE stardew valley. i have played more than 1000 hours of stardew valley. if pointing out that sdv is capitalist makes you shit your pants then actually i kind of think you are a fake fan. what was all this about the spreadsheets to maximize efficiency. just like think for even 20 seconds about what you do in the game and how it may actually clash with your irl politics and hope for the world and ultimately imo that will make you a much better leftist than insisting that everything you do is actually already leftist simply because it makes you feel nice and cozy. niceness and coziness are not correlated in any way with 'correct' politics and the sooner you internalize that without viewing it as an attack on the things in your life that are nice and cozy the less we will have to have stupid conversations like this

also last thought it's totally your prerogative to turn off your brain and not think about politics while gaming but if that's your position then don't get on tumblr dot com to claim these things are leftist (how would you know, your brain was off) and also when people kept their brains on (regardless of what their conclusion was about the internal politics of sdv, or for that matter any media) and are trying to talk about it to each other, don't annoyedly get on your high horse about how actually you shouldn't have to turn your brain on. you don't have to. stop talking to me about it if you won't though.

I remember seeing a fanart of Nesta, with like Nesta having a wine glass in hand and hugging Cassian or something, once on instagram and I absolutely fell in love, and then the caption by the literal artist was something along the lines of "I don't really like Nesta, and I think Cassian deserves better, but here she is." And I was like *dial up noises*
