just honest to god adore those deconstructed concepts in the lyrics like "glass of milk, standing in-between extinction in the cold" as a descriptor for mammals and the function they're named for, "flammable undiagrammable sentiments pass between animal beings" to mean sparks fly during romantic chemistry, and "newborn citizenship of the micronations" referring to reproducing and new offspring, like. like! like!!!
#tmbg#the line from nanobots is oddly adorable#so is ''their names are called. they raise a paw'' from mammal actually#if I were half as articulate I could express something beyond just yelling like??? like!!! into the void to illustrate my point here lmao#I swear there's a word/concept for when a familiar observation of something is reworded to come across as an unfamiliar concept#it's interesting that linnell described some of his songwriting as being ''stripped of emotions''#because I think even in songs with this almost academic formality such as ''mammal''#there's an underlying appreciation and fascination rather than detatchment#did I post this recently I feel like I already said this not long ago#bears repeating anyway#I'm trying to think if flansburgh writes like this but I think he leans more. poetically metaphorical? little more deceptively emotional#like you Think it's heart-on-sleeve songwriting but the more you think about it they're sort of impenetrable#that Is why the tmbw interps tab spawn so much discussion lmao

I went to an Ilan Pappé talk yesterdays - I really recommend his books if you've not checked them out already. He's arguably one of the worlds leading experts on Zionism and the "Israel"-Palestine conflict, so obviously everything he said was great, but what I want to highlight:
Someone asked him if he thought the protests and petitions and calling you reps and shit would work, and he said no, it never will. It's still important to do that but the powerful will never surrender their power to the powerless just because they ask for it. Asking the UK and the US to cut ties with their imperial outpost in the Middle East is like asking an animal to gnaw off it's own limb - it won't do it unless its only other choice is dying completely.
So who does have the power to put a stop to this, we asked. The working class of the imperial core. That's us, and we are the most powerful people in the world right now, because this war machine can't function without us. Movements like this can only be built from the ground up, so stop looking to the government and start looking to your community. We need to make it more unprofitable to support Israel than it is to cut ties with it.
This is a call to action. The people HAVE the power, and we have to use it. Yes, that's you. Contact your trade union, your workplace, your school, your church, your university. Your friends, family, any connections you have. As many people on board as possible, with one goal: shut it down. Take direct action now.
#were seeing this all over the world so i know we know all this but it bears repeating#stop lamenting on how you wish you could do more. you can#the power is with you#we have to stop begging the government and take it into our own hands#idk we could do so much more#your voice matters it really reallt does#also don't let yourself get distracted#i keep seeing that thing w the watermelon filter on tiktok that apparently raises money#and like sure do that if u have a second#but it isn't really helping palestine because none of that money is getting through#its just another thing keeping you distracted#idk man#ill make a post more abt direct action and shit and what you can do in your community#and what to push for in your school uni ect#anyway yeah#palestine#gaza#israel#free palestine#ilan pappe#mine

Oh, you're bi? 🤩
Oh, Christ, yes. Very much so. I guess that fell off my bio.
You mainly see me around here mooning after men because this is the Old Man Fucker website where I indulge a lot in my Trans Feels, so that means many men I repost are a messy combination for whom I feel gender envy, have trans head-canons, and/or want to [redacted]. Others, I just think are neat.
My attraction to other genders is vastly simpler in comparison; I should nonetheless really post more here for some variation. 😅
#chit chat#I don't worry as much as I used to about cleanly separating “want to be him” from “want ro fuck him”#because one can still admit a man is hot either way#or even simply aestheticly if the previous 2 desires are absent#anyway reminder I am married#not insinuating anything about your ask anon#but I've had 3k new followers last month and it bears repearing sometimes#*repeating

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!
#yes Lucanis has been told what he's going to do with his life for his entire life and has not been able to make a lot of choices for himself#this has no bearing on how he has no moral issue with killing people for money#which is what I was saying: he has no moral issue with killing people for money and some of you are clearly uncomfortable with that#because you're bending over backward to insist that he does actually deep inside have an issue with being a contract killer#when it is INCREDIBLY clear and he discusses this multiple times that he does not have any issue with being paid to stab people to death#I can't even discuss other aspects of Lucanis because you're all so unwilling to accept the specific point I'm making#which is that the text makes it incredibly clear that Lucanis does not have any issue with being killer for hire#he has no issue with the “killing people as a profession that he engages in”#he flat out dismisses the idea that there is any moral issue to be had when Emmrich and Davrin ask him about it#you all want him to have a moral issue with the core premise of “killing people” because you struggle with the idea he does not have one#because you're all very convinced that if he chose for himself that he would choose to have an issue with murder#but he doesn't#when he engages in what you consider “making it more palpable” to him it is actually not related to the murder at all#in fact the things he does extra isn't even un-Crow-like necessarily—it's just making things more complicated and less efficient#by avoiding doing things that are not part of the contract and thus aren't necessary to do even if it would make it easier#it is still not an issue with performing murders for money!#I know I'm repeating myself a lot here but people really are doing Olympic floor gymnastics routines to avoid what I'm trying to say#which is that the text is very clear Lucanis does not have a moral issue with the part of his job where he is hired to kill people#(also to that refutation asserting that Lucanis's “enjoyment” is derived from going after objectively bad people#how did you miss the part where Lucanis HATES it when people say that when THEY kill it's Noble And Good only)#(Also his contracts are not strictly Venatori. He has a specialty but he very much states he has non-Venatori and non-mage contracts)#DATV things#anyway I should write a follow-up post

while i'm on the subject of natasha pulley books man they're always like. i am being served a meal. the main course is my absolute favorite food. but that one side dish... :\ :\ :\ yucky.
like. me reading the watchmaker of filigree street: justice for grace. my girl did nothing wrong.
me reading the lost future of pepperharrow: justice for pepper. my girl did nothing wrong.
me reading the kingdoms: justice for agatha. my girl did nothing wrong.
me reading the half life of valery k: justice for anna. my girl did nothing wrong.
#and to reiterate because it fucking bears repeating. JUSTICE FOR PEPPER.#the bedlam stacks isn't on here because i didn't like it. sorry. they can't all be winners.#the mars house isn't on here because my hold at the library hasn't become available yet :( :( :( :(#but yeah been thinking a lot about that post that's like. do the characters in a story respect women and does the narrative respect women#being very different questions#and her books seem to be a rare case of characters? largely yes. narrative? signs point to no :\#anyway#rowan reads#a rare original post

there's absolutely nothing the writers could do to make me hate caitlyn bc unlike the rest of you i really AM a girl's girl
i support women's rights but it's for DAMN sure i support their wrongs even more 🥰
#y'all are acting like she's going to be h*tler 2.0 for the rest of her life#i think she's going to come to the realization that she's becoming progressively unhinged and it's going to DESTROY her#because while caitlyn is not without her own major flaws i do think she IS fundamentally a good person!#also it bears repeating: ARCANE IS NOT PRAXIS#anyway this is a very roundabout way of saying i'm here for caitlyn's ''villain'' era#she's been through a lot this arc is understandable and necessary so let her have this :) as a treat :)#arcane spoilers#arcane#caitlyn kiramman

you can fully hate an elden ring character for personal reasons, ideally while acknowledging this. but to claim one is more evil and morally abhorrent than another for (most) of the main cast goes against the themes of duality in the narrative, where every main character is broken due to the systems they live in yet ultimately still contributing to it
#txt#100% NOT VAGUING THE MOOT WHO JUST RB'D ME WITH A COMMENT#ive been saying this from almost the start and feel it bears repeating every once in a while anyway#i feel '___ is more evil than ___!' arguments in general just kinda loses the full picture imo

“Turn around and look at me,” she said instead, and he did, moving onto his knees, though even kneeling full upright he didn’t quite reach her head. Being taller than him like this was new. It wasn’t entirely unpleasant.

This had been on my mind since forever
Situation; There's an upcoming prom and the gang wants Ben and Taylor to be prom queen/king
-Aiden asks if Taylor has any good dress, didn't wait for an answer, and immediately rushed to get supplies to make a dress. He apparently knows how to make dresses. -The gang asks for the two to go to Aiden's house even when Ben literally lives with Aiden. -The gang prepares the two for the prom. -Taylor asks why the others aren't coming, Aiden's reply is "Because Ash doesn't want to!", Ashlyn's reply was "Too loud.", Tyler and Logan replied "Too gay." The gang gives them a questionable look. -Tyler was doing his sister's hair and Aiden was using Logan as a stool to brush Ben's hair. -Tyler suggested to give Taylor makeup. -"Why? She already looks beautiful." -Ashlyn Banner -Taylor blushes at Ashlyn's statement.(I can't live without a bit of Taylyn<3) -Prom finally rolled up, and the gang surprisingly showed up still. -Ashlyn was in the corner with her noise-canceling headphones, Tyler and Logan was keeping an eye on the two, and Aiden is doing Aiden. -Ps, Taylor and Ben became prom queen/king, the gang clapped and cheered at them, Tyler and Ashlyn even having a smile on their faces.
#my rambles#sbg#school bus graveyard#idk write whatever with this#I might also write a fic about this but nah#I know I procrastinate too much to finish it#anyways#have this#I know I repeat a lot of words#pls bear with me#english is my third language#that isn't related but eh#okay now I'm just ranting lmao#out!

actually so evil how much of hal's internal world gets obliterated with the rewriting of his relationships with jessica and martin.
#hal jordan#empyrean posting#ok going in the tags because im not actually v confident in my understanding of his character. i read all of his 80s/90s stuff but forgot#90% of it but ANYWAY.#so much of him just does not make sense with how geoff johns characterises him and his relationships with his parents particularly the#parallax stuff simply because of how much his relationship with the guardians and their apathy/'betrayal' is influenced by hal's original#relationship with his dad. like at its heart it's pretty much the same dynamic in how hal blindly trusts and sort of idolises the guardians#despite their repeated infractions in hope of... something in return just as he had with his father and the abuse he suffered at martin's#hands. that's what makes his anger at the guardians make sense when it does show itself because the relationship parallel didn't stop there.#as with martin hal gets nothing for his devotion. he gets nothing for doing everything that's asked of him and more and it ends the same way#too: with a man in the sky burning like a newborn star. and you lose so much of that nuance and intrigue behind that if you just make#jessica the 'bad one' because!!! you cheapen it!!!!#the whole idea of hal is that he has his father's face but his mother's scars#(to me). in the sense that they both reacted to martin the same way with that cognisance of who he was as a man yet inability to pull away#because... love. both the love they had for him and the conviction that he did or could love them too. and jessica arguably did eventually#but also she didnt did she? because she held onto that notion of love till the very end. the few scraps she had she ballooned outwards until#they became the whole. but hal didnt have even that and he spent his whole life chasing it & running away from wanting it at the same time#like i think there's something so interesting to the fact that he had to be convinced that flying was what he wanted to do. how much of that#was touched by his father? the fear that he was already too much like him than he could bear to be? he already had his face now he had his#dreams and longing for the sky. how much more could he have before he began repeating the cycle?#and at the end he even had his father's death. burning in the clouds. like there's so much there and that's not even touching on how it#impacts his relationships with other heroes. not just in the sense of why did kyle clark and diana get to keep their close yet complex#relationships with their moms when hal had to lose his (although yeah why did they) but also just how he lets himself come across to them.#because it's on purpose right? that he lets them think his reflection of his father is born out of unadulterated love for a man worthy of it#? he has his father's job he wears his father's jacket he smiles his father's smile. what else are they supposed to think.#and isnt that interesting!!! that this man who is so committed to being good & just can lie so casually to people he thinks of as friends!!!#can you see how that might be his mother through and through!!! in how she might have glossed over the abuse to other people and herself!!!#can you see how in spite of it all he might want to be perceived as his father that paragon of masculinity and resent that he is not!!!#do you understand how everything he loves has been poisoned!!! im thinking of that scene where he tells bruce about watching martin die &#wouldnt it have been so much more interesting through this lens. how he is both revealing & obfuscating at once. i hate the change sm

I will forever contend that a show like Symphogear, where the girls in it are put in questionably skimpy outfits but are actually the main characters, likes women significantly more than a million dungeon meshi ''we only do panty shots of men''-shows, where 90% of all storybeats revolve around men being the heroes
#rambles from the moonsink#I think I posted about this before but I can't find the specific one and well it bears repeating anyways

sometimes you must allow the 4 year old in you control your actions and do something that would've made them happy. in my case this was buying 6 care bears keychains because I wanted to get a specific one.
#i didnt get funshine bear (the one i wanted) OR grumpy bear (my second choice)#but i DID get good luck bear (3rd choice)(now hangibg from rearview mirror) AND bedtime bear (4th choice)#and i only got ONE repeat#so im happy nonetheless#anyway baby abram was obsessdd with care bears and i still own many of the dvds#and also a LOT of the plushies though they're in my parents sheds rn#..... i need to save them#anyway#upon occasion you must give in to the silly impulses to increase the hot in your lifw#shh ac

Uh...
Where is all this Black Jason Todd discourse coming from?! Because, last time I checked, headcanoning Jason as Black is not exactly all that popular. Unless I'm missing a huge subset of his fandom; I've yet to come across the mob of He Did Nothing Wrong girlies who are deadass that Jason anti's swear run Butstan Twitter/Tumblr.
#Granted#When I say 'all this discourse' I rly just mean seeing any at all#I've seen five posts about it in the past week#And that doesn't seem like a lot#But there's literally one (1) blog I've come across in the past month posting Black Jason Todd content#And it's run by a Black person#So#Anyway#Friendly reminder that I do not want to hear your thoughts about Jason being racebent to be Black if you aren't Black#The five (5) people I've found who headcanon him as Black since being dragged into this fandom about a year ago have all heen Black#And - I can't believe I have to tell people this but it bears repeating - race and class overlap#Idk#We ain't a monolith#Obviously there are gonna be Black people who find this headcanon to be distasteful#And that's fine#But *I* do not see the problem when it is Black people making the content#Emphasis on the *Black*#This is not carte blanche for white people to make these headcanons#I don't trust you motherfuckers#Jason Todd#Jace says#Batsalt

tagged by the gorgeous and fabulous @cordiallyfuturedwight and @aprylynn for february's roundup:
tagging the usual music favs: @jiminsproof @thvinyl @jimin-gaon @visionsofgideontheninth @spicyclematis @kimchokejin @jihopesjoint @monismochi plus @kimtaegis for the amy macdonald of it all 💜 and also you, dear reader. MWAH
#heads up! here comes the director's commentary:#16 Carriages - now listen. i love texas hold 'em as much as the next daddy lessons supremacist#but holy shit. it doesn't hold so much as a candle to this track.#just unbelievably stunning. i'm begging you to give it another chance if you skipped over it the first time#Don't Forget Me - me and kayla and apryl all having ms rogers in this month's list... i think we might be better than everyone else actuall#End Of Beginning - good GOD we couldn't gatekeep djo any longer but it's worth it if only for all the bear tiktok edits.#and thus i have fallen for this track all over again. yes CHEF#Showtime - now if you've known me long enough you'll know i'm an absolute sucker for british indie rock bands#especially if their frontman looks like they might not make it through another winter#so you can imagine catfish has had an inexplicable hold on me. anyway their comeback single is actually pretty good#This Is The Life - fantastic tune. 2007 if you can believe it?#what a time to be alive and at the school disco and you're singing the songs and thinking this is the life and so on and so forth#Loving You Will Be The Death Of Me - tom odell can do no wrong in my eyes (ears?) anyway. lovely lovely new album#Never Need Me - been loving rachel for a while now and this single is brilliant. highly recommended.#plus the video features florence pugh and if that doesn't sweeten the deal then christ i don't know what will#Baby Now That I've Found You - i didn't even realise this was a cover of the foundations until hearing it again recently#because alison krauss just has an incredible way of making them her own and thus it's been on repeat.#Deeper Well - okay so now i'm seeing the country thread through this month's picks.#this is another lovely new one. hearing it on the radio and the fact that they have to censor “i used to wake and bake” is hilarious to me#shoutout kayla again because great minds..#Stay For Something - CMAT is phenomenal and if you haven't listened to her yet i can't recommend her entire discography enough.#she had her arsecrack out at the brits last night and well. i would die for her#(speaking of the brits. raye... i literally cried for her. go find the recording of her live at the royal albert hall.#-watch it twice and then come back and thank me)#artists-wise - most of these guys are consistently up there.#katie melua is a new feature this time because all my amy macdonald-ing put me back onto nine million bicycles.#used to get that one mixed up with 99 luftballoons but they're really very different. i'm a fool#so tl;dr: fantastic tunes. do listen#tag#receiptify
