The second you start talking about some mysterious "they" that are controlling society in some fashion, you are engaging in dangerous conspiratorial thinking even if you're being woke about it. "They" did not institute the 40 hour work week specifically so you would be too tired to revolt. "They" did not invent the sleek minimalist aesthetic in order to crush the spirit of art in the common people. "They" are not pushing mediocre media into the mainstream in order to poison people's critical thinking skills.
Your best case scenario after that is you talk to someone who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about and you get embarrassed because you can't answer basic questions about your own ideology because you never learned anything past "the ruling class/capitalists/politicians are making things bad and if we got rid of them the bad things would all go away!"
Your worst case scenario is obviously the woo-to-fascist pipeline and you end up believing Jews are poisoning American food supplies with GMOs in order to turn us all into beta cucks, so like . . . maybe just stop blaming "them" before you fall down that route.
Obligatory round of disclaimers: Yes, sometimes people do bad things. Be specific about exactly who is doing what instead of ascribing it to some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, sometimes things in society are bad. Learn to identify the root causes of complex social issues instead of assuming that they're actually extremely simple to fix and we're just not doing it because of some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, minimalism isn't for everyone. Learn that some people don't share your tastes and get the fuck over it for the love of god.
#surprise! this was actually just my way of complaining that that 'classical tutor' post is going around again#complaining about the degeneracy of modern society because our cars aren't colorful enough or whatever#what if i told you that sometimes societal tastes and customs change naturally over time#and not because of targeted interference from vague groups of shadowy elites#anyway! be specific in your words and actually work to understand the underlying causes of things#and above all else understand that sometimes people just like things that you don't like#and that's not a conspiracy. it's not even hard to understand. like come on people#skepticism umbrella

Wrote this as a writing exercise to get a handle on luci and sandys characterization I hope it's good. . . !! This can only be described as a modern retelling of divorce arc hopefully it's entertaining enough to be worth your time otz
Fandom: Granblue Fantasy
Pairing: Lucifer/Sandalphon (lucisan)
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Lucifer spread out his arms and took a step closer to Sandalphon, as if to pull him into a hug, but he took a step back to maintain their distance.
"Sandalphon..."
"No... I won't go back with you...! I don't want to...!"
Sandalphon brought his arms in front of his face and squeezed his eyes shut. Lucifer released a puff of breath and took a few steps forward. Sandalphon didn't move back this time as Lucifer wrapped his arms around his hips and hoisted him over his shoulder.
Sandalphon gasped and thrashed around, demanding Lucifer to release him.
At this point, Gran took a step forward, not liking Sandalphon's ignored protests even if he knew Sandalphon wasn't completely innocent.
"Are you sure it's okay to drag Sandalphon back to your apartment? Especially when he doesn't want to go?"
Lucifer smiled at Gran— a smile so peaceful and tranquil that Gran felt his concern melt away. He pat Sandalphon's calves, an innocent gesture, but Gran could tell it was to prevent him from accidently knocking someting over with his flailing.
"Give him five minutes, he would tire himself out."
"I'm not a child!" Sandalphon grumbled as he continued to hit Lucifer's back.
"I didn't call you a child." Then, now addressing Gran, Lucifer did a short bow. Gran stood a little taller, taken back by the show of respect. He expected the bow to be more awkward than it actually was, since Sandalphon was still squirming over Lucifer's shoulder, yet he executed it with a grace that showed off his strength. "Thank you for looking after Sandalphon while I was away."
"I'm not a pet either!"
"I didn't call you a pet."
Gran rubbed the back of his head. "Is it really okay?"
"It's fine. If Sandalphon truly doesn't want to go back, he's free to leave at any point."
"Lies!" Sandalphon hissed. Yet, Gran noticed that he stopped thrashing.
"I don't lie." Lucifer said with a slight frown. Then, to Gran, "I'll be on my way now."
Lucifer turned around, Sandalphon's hand waving catching Gran's attention.
"Bye Gran."
"Bye Sandalphon. Bye Lucifer."
"Oh by the way, if you need anything to be replaced, feel free to contact me. I assume you know where I live?"
Gran waved his arms around. "Oh no, nothing needs to be replaced. Sandalphon mostly ranted." Gran didn't mention how he suddenly needed a new TV. Based on how pissed Sandalphon was, it was likely that they needed to replace everything in their apartment.
Lucifer nodded, satisfied, and opened the door before Gran could offer to open it for him.
Once the door was shut behind Lucifer, Gran sighed and picked up his keys. It was for the best if he hurried to buy Djeeta a new pan before she noticed her favorite one was broken.

Batfamily/Justice League Prompt
Batman has been trying to figure out who Captain Marvel is for a while and has been getting nowhere. Then the man starts suddenly being late to meetings, changes his scheduled watch hours, etc...
It doesn't hit Bruce until the man starts complaining about how they changed math.
This man is a father. He has to pick his kid(s?) up from school and that's why he can't make the 3:30 meetings, pickup lines can be awful.
Meanwhile Billy Batson is just pissed that the US government decided to reevaluate Fawcett's school systems once they realized the town had been stuck in the 40's for so long and they realized how it differed from current standards.
#batman#bruce wayne#captain marvel#billy batson#the jutsice league#bruce is so excited to have a dad to complain about math with#clark can't do math anyway#history is also a big thing#the boys bond over how the US covers up previous atrocities#unless it's far enough back in history the current gov can't be blamed

Hi isat fandom. Points at the sign.
#ocean surely nobody actuall-‘ I’ve seen enough arts that get this wrong. yes it’s real I’ve seen it#the bitter ocean talks#anyway if anyone is genuinely confused on how to draw Mirabelle on model the creator of the game has a post showing how to draw her hair#and also Google is free. Hope this helps.#anyway yeah. 👍🏾#idk man it kind of gets irritating to see as a black person#when people complain about how hard it is to draw characters who look like you and say that it ‘doesn’t fit my style’ or whatever#I’m not saying anyone is perfect but like you could make the effort. to grow and learn perhaps

An exchange from the groupchat:
Me: Neurobland people do not understand how ambiguous their responses are to be and then they get annoyed when I ask for clarification
Me, two minutes later: TYPICAL
THE WORD IS NEUROTYPICAL
Friend 1: no neurobland is better
Me: I couldn't brain the right word so I just went "well some people say neurospicy so let's go off of that"
Friend 2: Losing it I thought you were just being derogatory. Friend 3: neuromild Friend 2 again: Neurobland for when you're insulting and neuromild to be neutral…
#autism#adhd#neurodivergence#slang#anyway who wants to start saying 'neurobland'#I need to be clear that I was complaining WHILE responding to a work email which is why I couldn't think hard enough to remember the word#I did not do this deliberately#phoenix talks

absolutely enamored by rose quartz's body type and character design. especially after the pink diamond reveal. like, girl CHOSE to become a fat woman. and everyone around her (rightfully) thought she was incredibly hot for it. queen shit.
#eliot posts#su#steven universe#rose quartz#i could complain that she's the more conventional plus size model body type w curves in the ''''right'''' places#but im not going to#cuz this show came out in the mid 2010s on the tail end of the ''thin is in'' era#anything other than a size 0 being portrayed as attractive was fucking groundbreaking#hell a lot of that fatphobia is still up and kicking#it's still hard to find enough fat characters (at least. that aren't villains or laughingstock) let alone ones portrayed as HOT#anyway iirc seeing rose as a teen straightup made me have a minor sexuality crisis#her first couple episodes didn't do it. like something about her in lion 3 looked Off and i didn't like how her hair was animated#but by the time we got to 'we need to talk' ohhhh boy#she was so fucking pretty the way she looked the way she moved and talked#rewatching that ep as an adult i was still like HELLO

On Voting in America
So one of the most profound comments on routine chores that I've ever encountered was, hilariously, the Pickle Rick episode of "Rick & Morty," where (after a lot of shenanigans have already ensued) this therapist absolutely lays Rick out:
"I have no doubt that you would be bored senseless by therapy, the same way I'm bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my ass. Because the thing about repairing, maintaining, and cleaning is: it's not an adventure. There's no way to do it so wrong you might die. It's just work. And the bottom line is some people are okay going to work and some people, well, some people would rather die. Each of us gets to choose."
I think about this at least once a week — usually while I'm doing my laundry or sweeping or some other task that needs doing and won't get me anything more than clean clothing or a dog-hair-free floor. There's no Pulitzer for wiping down your microwave or scrubbing your toilet; no one's awarding you for getting all the dishes out of the sink. At best you have the satisfaction of crossing it off your list.
Voting is very much the same (and I'm talking about the US here, as an American). Sure, you sometimes get a sticker; but nobody's going to cheer for you. There's no adventure here, no potential for anything more than crossing something off of a list. It's a chore, something that needs doing in order to repair, maintain, and yes even clean. So I get why people don't like doing it.
And I've decided I don't give a shit.
Do it anyway. Your country takes astonishingly little from you — taxes, the once-in-a-blue-moon jury duty, and a theoretical draft that hasn't been used in over half a century and likely will never be again — but it asks you (asks! not requires! not demands!) to vote once or twice a year. It's not always easy; especially in conservative states, the impediments to vote can be ridiculous. But it is once a year and unlike in our nation's all-too-recent past, you will not die if you do it.
In fact, the worst outcome from voting these days is that the person or issue that you vote for loses — but you won't know if they lose until after the election. Polls are less accurate now, for a whole host of reasons; you cannot know until after the election who or what will win. This makes your vote more valuable than possibly ever before.
Use that power. Not because it's exciting or even rewarding, but because your vote is what keeps our country's metaphorical teeth from falling out and our metaphorical ass from stinking.
Brush, wipe, vote.
#ok the metaphor may've gotten a little gross but rick & morty chose it not me#anyway if voting didn't matter then rich people wouldn't do it#and I can assure you: they do#also: please don't think of voting like a reward for the person you're voting for#or as a punishment for the person you're not voting for#my mom's advice was:#think about the most vulnerable people you care about and vote for the person or issue that will make their lives better#and you'll rarely go wrong#yes there are often two bad options but if you're old enough to vote you're old enough to understand the difference between bad and less ba#anyway that's all the political lecturing I'll do this year#except maybe to complain about the 18-hour day I'll be having on Tuesday#oh also SIGN UP TO WORK ELECTIONS WE NEED MORE HELP#thank you#politics!

Furniture shopping with Toji or Gojo would just involve him jostling the bed around and saying “too loud”/“would probably end up breaking it, what’dya think baby?” and move on to the next one. Meanwhile you’re trying to not look at the employees giving you both side eyes.
HELPPPP WHY IS THIS CANON BECAUSE 😭😭 YK they'd both be the biggest shits about it too oh my god- "why are you so quiet baby, you're usually never quiet when we actually have to use the bed-" "You're sleeping on the couch from now on."

#thoughhh not that you're REALLY complaining because he does good on his promises anyway#those poor employees don't get paid enough#anon#tonytalks

god okay. sorry for yet another text post. but i'm just still thinking about the argument that veilguard is bad because the only option re: morality of your player character that it gives is kindness.
Now, to preface. I understand where this criticism comes from. Veilguard IS a departure from the general scheme of the previous games, in several aspects. And i understand how people would be upset at not having quite the same kind of options/ways to influence the world. It took me some getting used to, also.
What i do disagree with, however, is using that to claim that the game is bad, irredeemable, and also meaningless n soft or whatever.
Because it's really not. It's just different, with a different narrative focus. I've played the previous games several times, and as i said before, origins is in first place for me. Veilguard is a very close second. And i'm not more right or wrong in this opinion than someone who thinks datv is the worst game in the series.
You can still make choices that will influence the world in wildly different ways, they're just not... ''genocide or no genocide'' kinds of choices. Which i can see how some people would not consider the difference significant enough to be interesting for them personally. Which is whatever, im not their dad, i dont really care.
However. I think it's kind of weird to say that ''the game made me resent being a nice person'' or that "kindness you dont have the choice not to offer isnt worth a lot"
Like, game criticism aside. That is just an objectively weird thing to say.
There are ways to phrase that particular dissatisfaction in a way that will not make most people side-eye you. This is not one of those ways.
The thing is, it was a deliberate choice in characterization. Since game development at AAA scale is. an incredibly complex beast, i suspect there were many different reasons for it, and not all of them purely narrative. It is also not 2009 anymore. We are not getting another Origins, like, probably ever.
But. Rook is established in the very second cutscene to care about other people. It makes sense narratively, too, with Varric being the one to recruit them. Their backstory also shows that they gravitate towards the 'moral' choices. It's not bad writing. It's deliberate.
That does not mean that everyone has to like it. And i don't think the people who are upset about the change in this gameplay aspect are stupid or wrong.
We are all different people with different preferences, and i really am sorry if the game ended up being a disappointment for you. I know how it feels, and it does suck.
But i also do think it might be worth to examine the way people choose to phrase this complaining. The claim that kindness is somehow diminished in value if you aren't offered the choice to be cruel alongside it. I just think that, like. misses the point of what kindness is?
I know what those people mean when they say it, i just...fundamentally disagree with the sentiment. And i think phrasing it in this way is incredibly weird. sorry 🤷♂️
There is a better way to talk about this particular complaint. I just never actually SEE that being done. and i do think a lot of it comes from not actually engaging with the source material people are trying to criticize. Like, the person i sort of quoted earlier explicitly said they have not finished the game. If you never give something a chance in the first place, if all the information you have is second-hand, then i do not find your criticism valuable in any way. There is no substance to it, no backing. You are not proving a point, you're just chasing your own tail at that point. There isnt even a bone to chew. You've only heard of the bone. you havent actually experienced it.
Another part is people being too twisted up in the emotion of disappointment to actually see that they're not making compelling arguments, necessarily, and that they're actually being a tar pit.
I know not everyone thinks as much about the push towards dismissing the value of kindness for kindness' sake as i do. But like. It really is very weird to see this insistence that game bad bcs it didnt have the option to do a murder to an innocent person, or something. While also dismissing the horrible things we Are shown as 'not in your face enough'.
And honestly, personally? I dont love origins or any of the other ones specifically for the ability to choose the evil options. It's never even been a choice for me, because you can very well play the games without having to make the bad choices. theres always a workaround. And that workaround doesnt even harm u in any significant way. there isnt an actual like. terrible complexity here. I enjoy the dwarf politics quest a lot but ultimately, knowing the outcome? its EASY to choose Bhelen. Unless you're playing a dwarf noble origin, i guess. Rip Harrowmont 🙏 you would have made a terrible king.
And again, my personal opinion is not more right or wrong than that of someone who adored the prev dragon age games exactly because they allow you to make some terrible terrible moral choices.
At the end of the day. why are people still so pissed about a game that came out almost 6 months ago that many of them havent even played in the first place? Relax. take a walk if you can. Maybe move a snail out of the road if you find one. There tends to be a lot of them after it rains. Think about the ones that didn't make it. Try to find compassion for lives so easily dismissed. Maybe that will make you think about whether or not kindness on its own really is so lacking in value.
#valtalks#da fandom critical#dragon age fandom critical#honestly this is just an excuse for me to spread the 'be kind to bugs and other tiny creatures' propaganda#anyway. this is the piss on the poor website so im sure it will be taken out of context eventually yet again#but like. at some point. stop being a tar pit n actually go do something you enjoy#my original post that got vagued i made. admittedly. while being a bit fired up from the sheer ridiculousness of a crit post i saw in the#Main Tags for the game#so maybe i wasnt making my point clearly enough#or maybe they just did not want to actually engage with my point#but like. do you Need to use the main tags for your nothingburger of a complaint?#like youre not even bringing anything valuable to the conversation#cite ur sources or go do something that makes u actually happy#THAT was my point#and kindness IS valuable on its own#and yeah sorry i do think you need to play the game at least once and actually engage with it if you want to pretend#that your complaining has any weight#thats just usually how media analysis works#u cant analyze something u havent engaged with#anyway. back to da2 replay#during which i shall thank all the gods that might listen that there is a 'skip combat' mod because GOOD. GOD.

"nooooo dont add another female LI to the story!! you already have one!! we need more male lis to the rooster!!"
the current male li rooster:

#a random white man who talked to mc once can be conventionally attractive enough for y'all to start begging on ur knees to have him as an LI#but god forbid wlw players complain about having ONE female LI in 90% of the stories#the world won't end if u guys will have one less male LI#i promise you'll live#anyway abolish the 4:1 ratio!!!#romance club
