Hey queers (and other esteemed individuals) play this game it’s free and short and amazing and I love it.

Three transmasc characters to romance, great autistic rep, and BEAUTIFUL artwork. Like seriously the backdrops are INCREDIBLE. There’s also a goose.

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.

Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.

So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.

In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.

Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.

It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.

Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.

You know you wanna vote for him. You wanna vote for him sooooo badly. That man is on twitter and twitch BEGGING to win. You wouldn’t let Joe Hills down, would you?

Also my partner described him as “looking like what an awesome guitar riff sounds like” if that’s not convincing enough idk what is

[sporesgalaxy]

Im still not over that time when I tried to explain why I read only shakespeare for book reports in high school to my mom and she teased me for using the phrase "human folley" unironically. I dont think I'll ever recover from that one. like yeah ok sure I'M the weird one...... sorry you cant understand the universal appeal of the Bard, MOM!!!!!!!

[saym0-0]

Is this a safe space to say I liked the bnha epilogue and didn't see anything wrong with it? 🧍🏻‍♂️it was just a fun little bonus chapter I honestly don't know why people are upset about it

Anyway I love Shouto and I hope he enjoys his bowl and chopstick making classes

[milkbreadtoast]

random but i resolved to post abt it every time i find a webtoon that I enjoy... and lately I've been having fun reading this one...

*rubs nose* heh... I do dabble in het from time to time... no but seriously it's a p straightforward lighthearted enemies to lovers romcom, not groundbreaking or anything yet im over here kicking my feet and giggling the main couple is SO cute to me... i luv them... I actually couldnt wait to find out what happens next so ive been slowly reading ahead in the kor whenever i have time and they're sooo cute😭😭 I also like the art style and costume design a lot!! it gives me like. a nostalgic 90s shoujo anime vibe tbh... w the puffy hair and babyfaces...

Would you mind tagging your Essek hate so Essek fans can filter it?

respect and peace and love but i dont rly want to do that

[tanjir0se]

You could convince me to watch the *checks notes* loser rangers anime? 👀

SKCNCJSKSK!!!!!!

Were you a Power Rangers kid??? Are you over-saturated and bored by modern superhero media?? Do you long for a fresh take on the “dark side” of Sunday Morning cartoons that ISN’T grimdark and irony poisoned and lame?? Do you like absolutely incompetent cringefail losers and their hot murder girlfriends???!!? Then come on down to…

✨GO! GO! LOSER RANGER!✨

We’ve got it all! :

Protagonist that just fucking sucks at everything

Like. Really REALLY fucking sucks. At everything. Cant even figure out how to eat food. Hates everyone and has no friends. He’s just like me fr.

He’s like if Sasuke was the worst ninja ever like couldn’t even throw a kunai but still thought he was better than everyone else and kept the exact same pretentious attitude. I’m obsessed with him.

A fun, unique twist on the Power Rangers-esque Sunday Morning cartoons of our childhood that pokes fun at the 90s era camp of that genre of media while still feeling genuinely heartfelt and respectful to the spirit of the source material it’s satirizing

If villain bad, why sexy?

Hot Murder Lady

Genuinely just like a fun silly plot that isn’t too serious (yet) and can be enjoyed casually (or not casually if you’re a freak like I am) and really hits different if you were a power rangers kid like I was

Cool animation with a unique style that feels like a lot of love went into it

Did I mention if villain bad, why sexy??

HIBIKI SAKURAMA💅🏻💕💖💖🌸🌸

OOOHHHH YOU WANNA WATCH GO! GO! LOSER RANGER SOOOOO BAD

[narfin-frood]

oh yeah no i'm aware of the point of this au being that their personalities are more or less the same, just the roles they place in the story. i just forgot the word 'redeemed' and was unsure how to word it without it being to clutter-y. i usually try not to swarm inboxes with my ramblings😅

this point is actually what fascinates me in your au so much! like, it gives so much room to play around with, yet still stays true to the show :) IT'S SUCH A GOOD AU!!

(also nooo😭😭😭 touch grass was not aimed at you, i was just repeating what i saw in your post-reply to me. like, hater saying this to sylvia. im sorry for being unclear)

and yay! thanks so much! i'm swamped w work/projects atm so i'm like. UNSURE. when the promised art will happen. but it will.

/stares at the unedited 5k beast abt deprogramming swap!dominator/ i'm talking abt YOU SPECIFICALLY.

the thing abt fears is what makes this wander so fascinating to me. cults lowkey freak me out + the forced "must never move bc ITS BETTER FOR EVERYONE THAT WAY" oof. a lot of potential.

anyway, hope you're having a day! sometimes just a day is enough. though good is preferred obv

ohhh i apologize i got a little confused!!! you can ramble as much as you need to it's no big deal to me. i'll read it! i am notoriously The Rambler, and i like to hear what people think about the things i make!!!

if i'm understanding right now, you are/were asking how wander gets redeemed, or how it would go down when he does (sorry if that's still not really your question)? because i have plans i cannot share with you lest my enemies (the creatures in my brain that keep me from actively doing anything) try to strike me down... but the event would be ermmm Power of friendship, to be as vague as possible, and it would have to do with the strength of the bond between meteor and peepers and esp the bond between sylvia and wander..... i want to say more but i cant without spoiling what im cooking......

and thank you very much!!! believe me i get being ultra busy (i am also ultra busy, i'm just an expert procrastinator and i hate getting off my ass to do things) and i do not Slash will never expect anything of anybody!!! pls do it on your own time and have fun with it if you do end up doing it. no worries whatsoever if you don't. i'm forever psyched to see what you come up with, and also, do not let that be the pressure that breaks it for you!! theres no pressure at all :)

(also deprogramming dominator fic thats so FUN !!!! thats so fun)

i hope you also have a good day!! i've been having a decent weekend myself

(More thoughts and drafting! Some weird formatting I know but it was all one block in my notes)

Emma is doing just fine. Average. It’s really not so bad.

She’s just been dealing with a lot of change. And with too many things not changing.

Which is… an odd thing to struggle with.

Because she likes change. Daunting challenges. The unpredictable. Doing new things every day and never being scared of them. And she likes independence.

She had thought so, at least.

After the show, she had been hit in the face with just how… isolated she was. She had only had two friends before the first season, but she had left them behind. Her mother wasn’t doing the best, and she didn’t have any nearby family.

She found herself laying in her bed in the middle of the day most of the time, scrolling through her contacts and old conversations.

Or scrolling through her comments on TikTok.

A few weeks ago, she had tried some stunt involving a motorcycle and an inflatable pool. She probably wouldn’t have messed it up if her hands weren’t trembling.

(She had forgot to check the breaks, and wasn’t sure if they were working.)

(They were.)

The blood dripping down her face and the gash in her lip didn’t sting as much as it did watching the video.

She looked ridiculous, and she probably always did. It was better when she had someone else to do it with. Maybe she was losing her touch.

She didn’t post the video.

She turned back to dancing instead, which did feel less embarassing, despite the constant mocking feedback. Sure, the jokes were “funny”, but she didn’t care about any of it. She didn’t feel the rush, she wasn’t planning every day, and she wasn’t known or loved for anything.

Except for what she lost.

And, the show, to an extent.

-Ugh, she misses the show. She shouldn’t, but as stupid as it sounds, she really did. She missed doing crazy things and talking to people. Having a chance of winning. Beating everyone. Being cheered on. It wasn’t always great, but at least it was something. She misses doing something.

And she really misses Bowie. She missed Bowie, but she knows better than anyone that she can’t go back to that. They just- have better things to do now. He probably does.

He’s got Raj- which is great! And she’s happy for him! She’s happy for everyone. For Wayne, however he’s doing, for Julia, despite everything.

And Caleb. For having Priya.

Emma is jealous that Bowie gets to have someone.

Emma is jealous that everyone else gets to have someone.

Emma is jealous that, unlike everyone else, winning the show probably wouldn’t have made her any happier.

She isn’t sure what would.

Guys you’re going to overwhelm the new guys…so many explanation posts….so many.

Have prison baby boy picture

[ikealamps]

No. We fully understand why you boo Makar. It's just dumb as fuck. 😂 It wasn't a good hit and Cale deserved the suspension, but it's so stupid that you guys still hang onyo that. But I guess that's the closest thing your team has to a rivalry or a blood fued. It's sad. Not Cale Makar making you guys act like he's Pat Maroon or Sam Bennett 😂😂

interesting of you to send this to ME, one of jared mccann’s biggest supporters. my blog is home to seattle’s sweetheart lol.

i watch the avs. i LIKE the avs. i don’t agree with people who say he’s a dirty player because a dirty hit doesn’t mean he is. ffs, cale GAVE HIMSELF a penalty before after an iffy call, like cmon.

that being said, it’s a fucking boo. it brings fans together because it was during our first playoffs, and it was the one of the first major kraken injuries—and to one of our top guys. canner means a lot to the fans, he’s amazing, and it’s not just his hockey skills that we all love. he is seattle’s sweetheart, okay??? sometimes it’s not so much about hating on cale, than it is to show canner some support. like cmon bud, we’re still gonna fight for you.

it was our second year. and THAT is something you will NEVER understand as an avalanche fan. the avalanche are winners. their first year after they relocated, they won the cup. and then went on to win again a few years later. i know relocation and starting an entirely new franchise from scratch is different but my point still stands. avs have been at the top of league for years (i know the team wasn’t great in the 2010s, I KNOW), and i think a lot of avs fans on here only know the avs/became fans when they were at the top of their game, so they’re used to the best.

avs fans have been used to wins, and making the playoffs every year for a while. so yeah, kind of annoying when a big team in the league hurts one of our guys during our first playoffs. especially our top goal leader. the kraken were young and had a great fucking year, and it came crashing down with that hit. we know we’re not the best but who cares???? we’re still gonna have fun with it.

“haha, let’s point and laugh at how bad the kraken are” okay?? we’re pointing and laughing at our own player who still has makeup from his goddamn halloween costume on his face (thanks for him btw, we love burky.)

it’s like camaraderie when we boo. it’s doesn’t mean we’re still HANGING ONTO the refs or the nhl’s decision about the call. and if some people are… then SO WHAT. please look sports fans in the eye and tell them to get over something… haha yeah, not that easy.

ITS YOUR RIGHT AS A SPORTS FAN TO HOLD A GRUDGE MATE 🫡 because i know you probably hold a grudge too, bud.

but really, it’s all fun and games. ITS WHAT FANS DO. other teams do shit like that too cmon. it’s just like any other chant. fucking matt duchene???? you KNOW i fucking boo his ass whenever i see him too. you guys can go ahead and boo eberle, that’s fine. i think that play was shitty and reckless too. (correct me if i’m wrong but didn’t he just get a 2 minute penalty???)

anyways, kraken and avs games will always be fun to watch
