What I love about the titanic sub, is it's like the polar opposite of the Suez boat stuck incident
Where that was a minor inconvenience that no one person was really responsible for but affected just about everyone on the planet equally, this is a great tragedy for a handful of stupid idiots who built the world's shittiest submarine and they are the only ones affected by it in the slightest
#it's refreshing but in the opposite way#usually when Elon has a meltdown he fires a company along the way or something#but here it is exactly 5 people#including the ceo#all of whom signed documents saying that they were aware the boat doesn't work#and that not a single port in the world would let them depart#what I'm certain happened is that the walls ruptured somehow and they died instantly so it's not as tragic as people fear#but the fact that the “best case scenario” is that they successfully surfaced and are waiting for the coastguard to spot them#is so fucked up#how do you die on the surface in a submarine#what the hell is wrong with your boat

trying to think of a reason [ERROR] is so possessive of the OIAR crew and my current theory is that since the Archives are gone, this thing that might be a remnant of the other universe's Beholding is searching for something else to be the seat of the Beholding's power and took notice of the OIAR because Sam and Alice are the ones that released it (however unknowingly). The OIAR is not only doing something very similar to the Archives, but also clearly has SOMETHING akin to the Beholding attached to it with all the recordings we're hearing and the use of Jon, Martin and (possibly) Jonah's voices. So TLDR I think [ERROR] looked at the OIAR, said "close enough", and claimed everyone there. Anyway I think the tape recorders should bite more people
#rot.txt#the magnus protocol#tmagp#tmagp theory#tmagp spoilers#i know a lot of people are thinking or hoping that error is jon but i really dont think it is#it just seems unlikely to me. idk. i have my own theories about what error is exactly but thats not what this post is about#actually i will say it. i think error is either one of the other archivists from season 5 OR all of them combined#but im open to whatever else it turns out to be. i really like error so far im just excited its here#ALSO i know error is probably not a canonical it/its user but i can dream okay. this thing's just like me fr

I also love people who are not quite sure if they count as lesbians due to the ever-changing definitions of gender and sexuality but who do have lesbian problems and lesbian relationship dynamics and who get weird looks from straight guys but also sometimes from other gay people and who can't really put into words exactly what they are because that's not exactly the point but it might be nice if it was easier to explain but it is what it is
#uhhh. self love or something#i have switched from lesbian to bi woman to lesbian to bi guy back to lesbian like 5 times this summer#i also don't know if i'm butch or masc or femme because i can't decide what the definitions mean#'you are if you want to be' doesn't help because that's not exactly. how i experience the world#what i am is a combo of what other people think and what i think because i live in a society#i'm the product of a system and i'm also something that experiences things so in order to know what i am i have to think about both#well i can't tell what other people are thinking or what i'm feeling so we have a problem here

real talk though how much of their success was facilitated by the fact liz hemmings sees 'child with adhd' and thinks 'future world renowned musician' and just invested so much love and time and money into nurturing not only her own child's ambitions but also these two kids he brought home from school and the table drummer from her year 9 math class of 2009
#she's one of my heroes fr#she believed in them so much#this is exactly what every kid growing up neurodivergent needs#and she's a teacher. she knows things!! it's not blind optimism#liz hemmings#5sos#5 seconds of summer#luke hemmings#ashton irwin#calum hood#michael clifford#neurodivergence#adhd#i'm not a doctor#neurodivergent acceptance fr#long before there was a mainstream conversation about it#some people just get it so instinctively and let's appreciate them!#disclaimer this post came almost entirely from thinking about ashton's artist friendly episode. i'm not here to armchair dx ppl#i chose to post it bc we can all do with thinking a bit about what we're seeing before we judge people for their adhd traits#or infantalise them or whatever and i think the fandom is ready#again i'm not here to say who does and doesn't have adhd i don't know that. but i do know its traits and i want to call them what they are

When people continually whitewash my favourite characters.
[ID: A black and white, rough digital drawing of someone sitting at a desk and clutching their head in their hands. End ID.]
^thank you @describe-things
#This is mainly about Noé Archiviste. But also I will not forget what some people did to Simon Petrikov either when I was watching f&c#I’m so desperate for drawings of them. But for the love of God,is it that difficult? Somehow every other hexadecimal of their#Character design is exactly on model other than their skin. Just. .#OH YEAH I FORGOT KAEYA. FFS. Somehow it’s always the K**luc-ers that always do it. Which makes sense because they disregard his entire char#And with the new influx of atla fans people have been whitewashing Katara too! And I mean drawings of the original show too#probably delete later#And no one seems to have any problems with it? Especially if it’s sexualised art *talking more about Kaeya & Noé here.#People who whitewash the few (and when I say few I literally mean 5/82 playable characters) darker genshin characters. Actually fuck off#If I see ‘it’s just my art style’ or ‘it’s just the lighting’ *every other colour than the skin hasn’t been lightened in the slightest*#One more time-i’m going to explode#Oh and while I’m on this topic! Fuck Bochum for whitewashing literally the entire starlight express cast! Electra being the first ever#non binary character in musical theatre while also being played by black actors. And then Bochum happened.#When was the last time Pearl or Rusty had actors who weren’t white? Literally the last character who hasn’t been replaced is Momma/Poppa.#And being black is so integral to their character and music. You quite physically couldn’t#I really really hope the casting for the London performance this year is like the 1984 cast again. Please.

obligatory black mask redesign except i only changed like one thing and im not sure i like the final result
inspo for this btw
#shoutout to hypogriffin i stole their teeth GO LOOK AT THE ART ITS GREAT#i just took the teeth though dfgfr#might do another pass at this sometime idk#anyways some notes on this!!#biggest change i think is the color scheme#i think the red and black is better for this outfit? though the black is blue tinted for fun contrast#<- i wanted this so a: hed match with joker bc of their two sides of the same coin thing#b: he would keep some element of the prince outfit (the red!)#and c: i am a huge fan of very limited palettes in designs sorry. im addicted to giving every character like 3 main colors max#and in this case its black darker black and red#the teeth on the top are red to resemble loki!#also i know some people really hate the stripes BUT I LIKE THEM#again i like that his outfit sorta resembles loki in that way#you cant see it here but the cape is that sorta upside down v shape it is in his prince outfit#so it can a: resemble bird wings and b: again resemble the prince outfit#also i cut the helmet because i dont like drawing it! i already draw this outfit without the helmet though so thats not exactly big#otherwise? i actually am a fan of this outfit normally#but black mask redesigns are a fandom staple i simply must#anyways uhhh art tags now#doodles#persona 5#goro akechi

sometimes i remember the hunger games and how nobody actually paid attention to what was in those books
#americans close your eyes and ears right now#i'm well aware that my political takes are way too spicy for you all#and i really do wish my media diet didn't contain so much us-centric shit#but alas we're all suffering here#and i could say that 'oh actually it does matter who your president is for us in the world'#but it doesn't. it really fucking doesn't. that's kind of the point.#oh i'm sorry my spicy takes are already starting#anyway it is wild that you all can understand katniss assassinating coin at the end of mockingjay#but get super upsetty that chappell roan won't support your favorite presidential candidate with her full chest#like come on none of you actually thought that her using the phrase both sides meant that she was a republican or even a centrist#that's just copium#you all knew exactly what she meant#but i guess encouraging people to think critically and get involved with their local elections and politics as well is... bad now?#also... why do you all care so much about a random pop star's opinion and whether or not she dares to criticize a government#like... she's right but i'm sure 5 years from now if she survives in the limelight her edges will be completely chipped away#by all this insane reaction#and before anyone comes for me... no i'm not saying you shouldn't vote. please fucking do.#neither am i saying you shouldn't vote strategically or encourage other people to do so#but if all your energy is spent policing people who criticize your chosen party because of their own principles#then there's something seriously wrong with your politics#and all you're signalling is that you truly do not fucking care about the issues that they care about#if anything..... you RESENT them#and then the same people bring up the parable of the 'unjust man'#or how it's never the right time to talk about gun violence in your country#harm reduction is all good and based but attacking people who are leveraging their support to push your party left#is not. it's not even fucking helpful#anyway. don't base your lives and politics around pop stars.#even if they are more based than you 🤷#i think i'm done now thank you tumblr for letting me have insane rants in my tags that hopefully no one reads#idk i just find this all depressing. i wish you all cared more about the world outside of your bubble. i wish we all did - myself included.

started rewatching arrow and far be it from me to defend oliver queen but what the fuck is wrong with this man's family?? your missing son comes back from what you believe to be a five-year stint on a completely deserted island. alone. zero human contact and no concerns other than survival. and you want him to put on a suit and be in charge of a company despite having no education or training and being freshly returned from said deserted island
HELLO? do they realize what a miracle it is that this man is even coherent. he's riddled with ptsd! moira is like "oliver i am deeply disappointed that you didnt experience personal growth during your five-year survivalist nightmare. i thought you would come back and somehow not only be normal but also socially well adjusted." like madam the fact he is walking and talking and wearing clothes and acting fairly normal is astonishing in and of itself. he's been eating birds and sleeping in a tree. what does this man know about shareholders and ROI
#helen's arrow rewatch#i can kind of forgive thea because she's a teenager and has no idea what she's asking#when she demands the gory details of everything oliver went through#though quite frankly what would she do if the answer was “i ate dad to survive” because like. he had to eat something...#that being said when she was like I KNOW U WENT THROUGH HELL BUT IT WAS HELL HERE TOO#i was like girl shut up#like the AUDACITY to be like oh i went through hell in my mansion with my unlimited gold credit card#while her brother spent 5 years stranded on an island fighting for his life...#i cant decide if im supposed to actually feel sorry for his family or if im meant to be repulsed and judging them#for their out-of-touch rich people shortsightedness where they cant see past their own rhinoplastied noses#to realize exactly what kind of hell oliver went through and how their own self-obsession precludes basic empathy#and common sense. but let me tell you that what i am feeling is most definitely the latter

alright. know what? with Secrets of the Obscure right around the corner and plenty of new Mists-related sky island settings coming with it, I'll just bite the bullet and interest-check a little something I've been turning in my head for a long, long while.
would YOU be interested in a Mists-based GW2 roleplay guild that uses a lore compliant multiverse system to allow canon, canon-adjacent, lore-breaking, and otherwise 'contradictory' muses to coexist in the same setting?
simply put: every writer's cast would be set in their own self-contained universe. as such, everyone could bring whatever muses they want with their own personal headcanons, and no one could dictate what is or isn't canon for anyone else. so long as your muses are GW2-based, you're good to go! bring your Commanders, bring your canon-divergent OCs, bring your canon muses-- and yes, even the ones that are 'supposed' to be dead. who can say what might have happened in a strange world far across the Mists, after all?
neutral hubs and in-character safety guardrails would be in place to keep all muses on a relatively even playing field regardless of their power, history, and prestige, too. play hardball if you like, but it might not end quite the way you'd hope. the main rule would be to maintain good OOC etiquette at all times: no godmodding, no metagaming, no theft, don't blend IC and OOC, and so-on.
if that sounds like something you might have interest in, please interact with this post! and if you've got questions or concerns, I'd love to hear them; feel free to send an ask or a DM, or just reply to this post!
#GW2 roleplay#GW2 rp#GW2#my posts#so there's a LOT of reasons why I'm putting this forward#but the biggest is that I really want there to be a place that's actually inclusive for all the creativity that exists in this fandom#there was exactly one Mists multiverse event a while back and it was well-received from everything I saw!#i know i for one had a lot of fun AND felt a lot more welcome and comfortable than i have at any other event#and then... we proceeded to just never have another again.#like. we could have more of that. that niche could still use filling! we can do SO much more with this!!!#and especially with SotO coming out we could have some REALLY interesting locations to meet up too!#I'd be happy to kickstart this stuff but the thing is: it WILL need support. I just can't do it all alone and that's a fact#example: if we want a guild hall in-game we'd have to work together to get one; that'd be great for hosting public and private events#my personal goal is 5-10 participants so that we can have enough to run small events and mingle muses a bit#IF there's enough interest i'll roll out more information at that time. for now tho i'll just leave it at this to test the waters#reblogs are HIGHLY appreciate here: i'm a smallfry in a big sea and not many people check the tags. spread the word if you want to see this#on that note: thanks for reading and hopefully i'll hear from some of you soon. o/#(side detail: that sky pic is a screen i snapped at night in Istan. it's so pretty there ok)

having to explain to people things like. if i have to go out to do something and run errands i need to have it all mapped out and planned w like. at least a week in advance. and if i go out that day i cannot do anything else because That will be it. if i have multiple commitments that cannot be put on the same day i need one full day in between those commitments so i can rest and be recharged for that next thing otherwise i might have a breakdown in the middle of the street (again) and then That will render me unable to function for like a whole three days. and then people look at me like i choose to live like this?
#txt#audhd tag#just venting a little#its crazy because ppl around me are like I understand your limitations However why dont you-#So you dont understand my limitations?#like okay yeah i understand that it must be Weird for people that are not Inside my brain and hard to understand that i PHYSICALLY CANNOT>#do things that they dont even think about. alright! but to sit and tell me Yeah we get it! but then try to either fix it or >#> come up w a New Incredible Way To Fix Me as if half of what i talk abt w my therapist isnt Exactly This#like yeah i dont fucking like it either. i wish i could do shit like other ppl do. i wish i could remember things.#i wish i didnt feel exhausted all the time i wish simply leaving my bed wasnt the most difficult task every single morning#but it pisses me OFF when people try to talk me through these Limitations i have that They Understand<3 like. can you be accommodating or no#one of my closest friends and oldest friends since i was like 5 had her bday on friday and she ljterally messaged me like#Hi we r having something w my family but theyre rly loud and extremist on the right wing side and i barely wanna be here u dont have 2 come>#> but i wanted to invite u anyway so u dont think ur being left out! and i was like Yayy nice thank u bc lbr i probably wouldnt go anyway.#and she KNOWS that. and she literally was talking to me like she alwahs does and That felt accommodating and understanding and i felt loved#cut to my mom last night trying to make me feel guilty for not going because Shes my friend and i should have gone anyway.#i told her off and she backtracked but thats still innmy head like. that shit is so irritating#okay sorry vent over im just aboht to get my period so this is making me sick#want to yell into the void and forget about it.

sometimes i get very passionate about my job and how important it can be to give an accurate history of a moment in american history that's frequently referenced but which the general public in america has a lot of misconceptions about
and other times i spend an unproductive day trying to explain outdated tax law to a child who isn't equipped to understand, but who is very intent on asking "why?" repeatedly and i think maybe i understand why this protest specifically gets misrepresented and glossed over in schools.
#messages from the ouija board#sadies day job#also! im the ship person which means i see each group for 15 min tops. and people go 'hey so why do we still have taxes if we won the war'#and theres like 5 min until the next group comes down and my hands are cold and i gotta be like#'it was about parliament and the east india company and thats not actually what the war was /about/#the retaliation for this protest just created more unrest and thats what led to the war and taxes that pay for infrastructure are good#please direct the rest of your questions to the man in the silly wig hope this helps' and then i gotta shoo them into the building#its not exactly an efficient way to teach history tbh! but im doing my best#in fairness to our site a lot of the questions about Afterward get answered later on the tour#but sometimes the questions are very specific and im like great question! heres a book rec! sorry!

somewhere running about in sydney is the guy who got absolutely destroyed on live tv about punishing kids (michael) for wearing the wrong socks. and idk i just think about it from time to time
#i know people who know him too that's the awkward part#referring to the sunrise interview they brought their old teacher in#meanwhile ashton is like 'you don't even know me'#the whole thing was a disaster. but schools shouldn't make kids wear specific socks and just. not treat them well til they succeed#and pretend they were backing them all along yk? idk exactly what went on but this story has happened 1000 times.#reasons to support#youthlib#michael clifford#5 seconds of summer#5sos#ashton irwin#luke hemmings#calum hood#sunrise#not me trying to tag the news program just to see:#sunrise in sydney#like using that tag feels blasphemous here

Maybe... just maybe, if you're spending more time making long posts about hypothetical people getting mad at the content you're creating, than you are actually making the content... you're not very good at curating your own online space, and on top of that, you're risk making the people who do follow you for your content feel like you care more about the people that dislike your content.
#i went on twitter for like 5 seconds and man does this happen a lot#theres an artist i follow here whos content i really like but they. do this a bit and i dont wanna unfollow but#whenever i see it im just like. :| man. i left twitter to avoid this exactly and it feels like im there anyway#twitter is such a cesspool - i genuinely think any artist who is still there is stronger than the soldiers#🫡#anyway. just my two cents on what i see a lot of creators do that kind of gives me the ick#like im not mad. ultimately its your online experience and your space and i can just unfollow but idk its frustrating#please utilize the block button. i promise its so easy.#i promise when you spend less time getting mad about people who dont like your content --#-- that you will appreciate the people who do like your montent much more & youll enjoy the creation process much more too#idk! sorry if this is controversial but seeing it here and then immediately seeing it on twitter the first time i open the app in months-#-is just like. :| yknow#lucipurrs

Yo I've started Hunter x Hunter (idk why) and I'm actually enjoying it quite a lot? (also idk why)
#Turbotxt#I was expecting not to like it so much I think bc the character design always made me think ''wth is going on in there''#But I am actually enjoying it#Like#Gon is not the most charismatic main character out there#At least at the beginning#But I'm like 30 episodes in rn and I think his personality comes together with time#It took me like 5 or 6 episodes to put the knitting needles down#I like that the pace is somewhat slow compared to shonens today#You get one thing going on in each episode and 9/10 times it gets resolved in that same episode#Idk what it is but like the power level of each character is like very clearly defined? Somehow? Like there's something satisfying about it#Like you can tell Killua is strong from the very beginning but they don't tell you exactly HOW strong#So I was genuinely surprised when he did The Thing#And then there's people stronger than him and it just makes so much sense#And I love that he's not your token edgy Sasuke#Like he's got Edgy Sasuke bits here and there but he's also childish he just wants to have fun he gets jealous sometimes etc#It's a nice characterization#Why did they have their Hunter Exam at the Córdoba Mosque/Alhambra though#What was up with that#Either way I'm 100% in#Really really enjoying it
