NOT ENOUGH OF YALL ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NAME A HAMILTON SONG BIT

please, the "name a woman," the Kahoot bit, the utter look of disappointed but not surprised from Dan, the panicked confusion on Phil's face

The videos are fucking art

The bats use the metric system. You can not tell me that the bats would use inches, feet, yards and miles when centimeters, meters, and kilometres are right there.

#the waynes use the imperial system because they are dirty little Americans #but the bats are all logic #logically Metric is better #batfam #dc #batfamily #tim drake #jason todd #dick grayson #damian wayne #bruce wayne #stephanie brown #barbra gordon #cassandra cain #duke thomas #alfred penyworth #although Alfred has always used the metric system. being British and all

CASTIEL: Stop. What's the point if you don't mean it? You fear me - not love, not respect, just fear.

[youtube with closed captions]

a godstiel pity party. i'd like to thank an anon i got way back in february of 2021.

#spn #vid #spnamvarchive #so fun fact i started making this more than a year ago. got it 90% done. and then was like no this isn't working #i will come back to this later.#it turns out that i needed to make some videos about cas and angels (the love club + help i'm alive amvs)#in order to make this one. anyway this video is about french mistake robert singer voice season six #i really struggled with it because i could NOT find the thread until i realized that it needed to be literally godstiel pov #it's about love and desire and jealousy and hurt and omnidirectional rage <3 #it's about the fact that cas is so utterly dependent on dean for his self-image - however dean sees him that's it #it's about having a moment of reflection about lashing out before you do it but doing it anyway #it's about taking cruelty and dishing it out #and crucially. it's about being pregnant #mpregpocalypse #fun fact: i made a post about working on three season six amvs all the way back in nov. 2022 #and only now have they come to fruition (this one + love club + metric)#anyway. have you heard that cas is obsessed #the thing is i do kinda want to add some specific director's commentary here. like the first verse is about cas being like.#incredibly deeply emotionally vulnerable to dean. as in: his emotional state and self-image is totally dominated by what dean thinks of him #and if dean is mad at him. and then the second verse is about... dean upsetting him and him responding to that by Killing Everybody lol #like he has a moment of reflection ['certain regrettable things are now required of me' + killing rachel] where he's like i've 1) also done #bad things and 2) i feel bad about it so maybe i will regret Killing Everyone. but then he does it anyway due to everybody keeps turning #on him. i feel like the rest of the amv is self evident. i guess i should note that 'share a paradise' is about how both of them have #a nostalgic view of the early days of their relationship when it wasn't Like This lol. but everything else i think is self evident.#oh and the reason the other angels flash onscreen with their burned wings at the end is i'm EVOKING the image of cas' wings burning. even #though it doesn't happen. i'm evoking it

Maturing is realizing the Waffle House Index is a shitty unit of "measuring" the severity of a catastrophe, and we should never have plainly and callously celebrated a company that is willing to sacrifice their employees during a hurricane for below-par food. We should never celebrate this, anyway, but the sheer level of crass jokes that are associated with this "metric" is uniquely cruel.

#politics #us politcs #why is Wikipedia describing the waffle house index as an 'informal but USEFUL metric' what the actual fuck #how are y'all This callous #also i dont think this is a useful metric notwithstanding everything else...#...because you're fundamentally a business and encouraging people to Brave A Hurricane or whatever is Dangerous actually :)#i feel like all this does is make people take extreme weather LESS seriously. it is by NO means a 'useful metric'#also don't come at me for saying their food is below-par. my opinion of them is irrevocably sullied because of shit like that #and i am not willing to give them grace and understanding in this. they can handle me saying their food is Not Worth Lives

"the europeans" did you know that most of the world uses kg and meters including south America. unitedstatians are not beating the uneducated idiot burger allegations.

all these anons are doing is proving america truly is the greatest nation in the world, as it is becoming more and more apparent that we are in fact the only nation where people make jokes! god bless

#i'm sorry to all the followers i get like five of these a week and i delete them but like #the sheer dumbass condescension of europeans (because it is damn near universally europeans who make these comments) is so funny #you may not be the only continent who uses the metric system #but you sure are the only continent who gets this pissy when people make fun of it lmao

which one do you find more intuitive?

imperial units (i'm american)

imperial units (i'm not american)

metric units (i'm american)

metric units (i'm not american)

*i'm aware that other places than the US use imperial units too, or at least do so for some things/use a mix of both/etc. still, i'm tryna see smth here..

#added some options because that's how i feel about it #i have dyscalculia so all numbers are scary and confusing and i would prefer if they didn't exist at all #i can't even remember all of the differences between the two #polls #submitted #queued #imperial system #metric system

I wonder how much of the world economy is distorted by the fact that the US dollar dominates it and so the US could (if it doesn't already) inflate it's own economy at will.

Maybe Apple isn't worth billions of dollars. I don't know, I never used an iPhone.

#cosas mias #I mean countries like China produce lots more of tangible stuff than the US by that metric they're worth more #all the production of Argentina isn't suddenly worthless because the peso declines against the dollar

mdzs tumblr post au but it’s just “what were you doing at the devil’s sacrament” (nightless city)

#i’ve gotten there in my reread and while wwx def didn’t have good intentions *going* there #(he did want to vent his anger; ‘they finally attacked first!’ etc)#frankly i don’t see it as any different from a battle they’d initiated #(and also the actual thing WAS actually a battle they iniated even if wwx was waiting for that to happen but ignoring that)#it was a pledge against him and one with intention of attack #jgs literally said ‘and tomorrow we’ll scatter the ashes of the rest of the wen dogs and the yiling patriarch wei ying’#whether he meant it literally or not doesn’t matter bc at some point they *were going to attack*#and everyone there came to sign up for that right? everyone was prepared to face wwx in battle already right?#and if they WEREN’T prepared to do that and were just there for reputation points THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE #THAT’S ON THEM #so no they weren’t planning to be attacked BY wwx but they WERE planning to attack wwx which should be the same thing #the only difference is who has the advantage of surprise… which they were planning to use to their advantage #so regardless of wwx’s intentions (and their impacts on his morality if you care about that)#i do NOT think it’s fair to say he killed x thousand innocents/unprepared people/sth along those lines #that battle and those casualities were going to happen anyway the only difference was when #(and the only reason it IS painted as such an evil act rather than some heroic battle is because by all metrics wwx won)#so yeah 3000 cultivators… *what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament*#mdzs misc #mdzs

Me: yea so you see, Oltyx knew anger at his exile clouded his judgement sometimes, so as a messed up workaround he commissioned a cryptek to augment his mind with partial copies of distinct parts of his own consciousness. However, given his general state of mind, him and the 5 resulting subminds end up spending most of the time being unhealthily hostile towards each other. The subminds are too different to ever agree on something, and Oltyx is always so annoyed at their constant bickering and criticism of him that he never properly listens to their advice. But as the stakes get higher and he's forced to work through his anger and entitlement so he could save his people, Oltyx starts to be more gentle and trusting with his subminds, and in turn they start working together, so they could take better care of Oltyx. They're not even constantly on the edge due to specifics of their minds anymore! The 6 end up being an actual team where every member is valued and respected, which is an incredible metaphor for self-acceptance, because you can never be whole if you despise parts of yourself, however contradictory, and-

My cat: meow (give chicken)

#wh40k #twice dead king #oltyx #insane about the subminds. can you tell #im not even done with the book yet. and then theres another book #which they all should be in given its synopsis so i hope nobody dies lol #another thing im insane about is the amount of tragic love in oltyxs family but thats a given #i was expecting to read about like. meat. because flayers #dont get me wrong theres still a metric ton of it but i mean #p

So there was a post a while back about Ben Solo always being told "don't do (x), that's how uncle luke lost his hand" when he was a kid - and I raise you: Elrond and Elros being told "don't do (x), that's how Maedhros lost his hand"??

Like, at Amon Ereb when the twins were newly acquired and refusing to eat their vegetables and Maglor is Mag-mothering them until Erestor, feral half-sane clinically depressed anarchist Avari hostage/patient/infiltrator and Certified Little Shit, hits em with:

"I would listen to the Lord Maglor, winyamor, he well knows the dangers that come to young elflings who don't eat enough vegetables - after all, that's how his brother lost his hand."

Elrond looks conflicted. Elros squints suspiciously. "Truly?"

Erestor, practically comatose since the massacre but ultimately saved from Fading by the biological compulsion to fuck with you, lays a hand over his heart. "I would never lie about such a thing! Just what do you take me for? This is a true tale and a grave warning - the Lord Maedhros' hand was tragically lost in the days of his youth, whilst he was still growing as you are. He refused to eat his vegetables and so, cruelly deprived of the strength it needed to grow strong, his body started to fall apart! First his fingers, then his thumb, and then his palm and wrist - all turned blue and dropped off!"

"No!" Elrond gasps. Elros looks both terrified and impressed. Maglor's face is scrunched up into something that the twins probably interpret as pained - at reminder of the horrors of limbs falling off! - but is actually just him busting a rib trying not to laugh.

"Yes!" Erestor cries with relish. "And it never grew back. All because he didn't eat his vegetables. Isn't that right, Lord Maedhros?"

Maedhros, a looming terror at the head of the table, scarred and solemn and impenetrable as his fortresses, narrows his eyes consideringly at the unfolding shenanigans and the rascal behind it. His conclusion? Fuck it. He gives a slow, solemn nod. Completely deadpan and exaggeratedly formal, because it may have been centuries since he last had his brothers smothering laughter at political dinners but the Finwëan sense of humour, once caught, is not an ailment easily cured.

Maglor conceals his wheezes behind his goblet as Erestor nods sagely to the wide-eyed twins, who suddenly seem a sight more interested in their vegetables.

#it helps that maedhros also has a metric fuck ton of scars so he can make up so much shit #know how i lost my eye? didnt go to bed on time and it shrivelled up #why do i have to wear a shoulder brace sometimes? didn't practice my letters and the bones all fell apart #where'd my fingernails go? didnt wash my hands before eating and they ran away #why is my back all stripy with criss-cross lines? didnt use my cutlery and they attacked me #why are some of my teeth metal? cause i didnt clean em properly for two minutes with mint ointment and i accidentally ate them in my sleep #whys there grey bits in my hair? didnt bathe after running around in the woods and the cobwebs got stuck and never came out #what happened to my ears? ducked underneath a horse and it spooked and bit them off so never ever do that again elros its very dangerous ok #i dont care your ears are smaller because youre peredhel elros the horse will get you #whys my hair so short? didnt comb it so it was stolen by orcs now hand me the brush and get over here elrond your head's a birdnest #for all that the kid's questions sometimes make maedhros a lil uncomfortable its actually really healing for him #sure sauron whipped him until his spine broke but now he uses those marks to get his kids to eat with cutlery like civilised people #and he cut his hair in a depressive spiral after fingon died but his kids think it was so tangled the orcs stole it to make scruffy orc wig #and his shoulders fucked from hanging on thangondrim for decades but if you kids dont sit down and do your lessons then so help me -#his beloved fingon always kissed his scars when he was allowed but it was witty irreverent half insane erestor who helped him laugh at them #i kind of ship it in a 'secret third thing' kinda way u feel me? not sex not friends but they bring a lot out of eachother its weird #erestor #maedhros #kidnap fam #elrond and elros #maglor #there is a fic that goes with this who wants it

I'm glad they left the casualty toll up for player interpretation because for better or worse at least it keeps people discussing DA2

If not this what else is left....do yall think Merrill uses the same ball of twine to find her way around town or does she buy a new one every day

#lets discuss the twine-based casualties because if you trip in hightown you WILL continue tripping all the way to lowtown (long ass stairs)#ironically discussing the explosion & the mage rebellion by extension over and over unavoidably nonstop is what Anders wanted #he's an engagement hound he's a metrics mogul he's fishing for replies and he's got a bite on the line

Hornet at Herrah's Altar • Dec. 2023

#p #composition #sonnet #archive #hornet #hollow knight #baby's first metrical break...what do we think.........#local poet is shocked to learn it has improved in the last 2 years despite writing very little. more at whatever time it wakes up #if you were there for my first hornet sonnet this is a rewrite of it that's actually good 🫶#I've always always always had fun playing with her relationship to the radiance...like she has to just. Not Dream and Not Want or else she #will fall to the infection. I guess you could make the argument that being a demigod grants her immunity but that's less interesting to me #The fight to remember her life and herself through the years of stasis while also shutting every emotion down. I think what we see of her i #the game—esp her emotion towards the end—is the cracks in her armor that she deliberately doesn't fix because she knows one way or another #all of this will end. the burden is off her shoulders

you've heard of: aroacespec "is this person flirting with me" confusion, now get ready for: Does this person think I'm flirting with them (and also are they flirting "back" with me) because I accidentally bumped into them a lot?
