Something about how Dean never had any faith in god because he put it all in Cas

[ratbugs]

okay. i’m going to take a few big, deep breaths, and try to explain this as eloquently as possible.

how COULD THEY do THIS how could they SPIT in the FACE of all BEAUTY and ART and WONDER how have we GOTTEN HERE why does MY BACK HURT SO DAMN BAD why are we SMASHING our artists into an AI HELL and DISRESPECTING all our mediums of CREATIVITY with a SADNESS born from a CAPITALIST HELLSCAPE

*cough* i mean,

look at the differences in how the emotions of toothless and hiccup are expressed in each scene. the animated verses the live action. yeah, reality (though we’re talking dragons here) is not at all as interesting as what exists within art mediums blah blah blah. but that’s kind of. . . the point? how to train your dragon is a beautifully animated movie (and it’s soundtrack regularly makes me cry, still).

it’s one of the few movie adaptations of a book that takes the original concept, makes it into something completely different - but still respects and celebrates the original work.

it’s enjoyable for all ages, it’s simple, but brilliant. it’s lovely, and it’s sweet.

all these shit live action remakes are not an attempt to expand on creativity or bring something new to the original it’s just a FUCKING CASH GRAB (and we all know it, but i still would like to yell about it. or i fear i may violently consume a corporate executive).

we, as the general society of powerless, relatively non influential average citizens, get fucked over in every aspect of literally everything in every possible way. the least they could do is make that SHIT they serve us ENTERTAINING.

Say it with me now.

Nobody deserves to starve to death on the street while people have more money then they could ever spend in their life.

This applies to everyone.

i totally get that people don’t want to fall into the trap of “family” work environments or whatever but my god i feel like every time i see discussion about office settings everyone has such an insanely cynical negative attitude towards literally everyone they work with. even without most major social media sites i still see this ALL the time online where everyone is like “no one at work cares for you. arrive, do your job, leave. they’re not your friends. don’t be fooled.” or they insist that coworkers making small talk is somehow insidious and they always have ulterior motives omg like….they’re literally just people at their job….they’re literally YOU? sure no one is saying you have to be besties with them but this weird rampant paranoia taking place within social situations in the workplace boggles my mind. also shocking news it makes work easier and less draining if you find a couple people there to joke around with and talk about your day and maybe vent about stress. i promise the mom of 3 who works at the desk next to you is not asking about your day to secretly report back to your boss and trap you in a toxic work environment or whatever like…..she’s just being nice

Dubois when asked about linemate Connor McMichael -> (˵ ‘• v •`˵)

You've got a front row seat to what Connor's done. What's gone into him having the heater that he's on right now? Yeah, it's - I don't want it to stop, nobody does, especially me and - and Tom, I think, so, whatever he needs we're there for him. Um, I had my hands up in the air, I thought he had that one at the end, but, when you're hot it's just a matter of time, so, y'know he missed that one but he'll get one - hopefully he'll get one next game.

This dude spitting facts! Please consider listening to this if you have the time, it's just under 3 mins. :)

(Inb4 all the people who claim this video is 'defending boomers' when there's a big difference between explaining something and justifying the outcomes.)

[quotidianish]

I dislike the mouth washing fandom this shit is getting out of hand

[oracle-cassandra]

Women have so many hurtful words and slurs associated with them (i.e. whore, slut, bitch, etc) and I hate them with a passion and I abhor the weight they hold. It's beyond overdue for some words to be created and popularized to use for men.

Ones that come to mind are:

I am 100% serious about this

Ok but what happens next 😭😭😭 how do the show and movie ninja interact I NEED THEIR SHENANIGANS /lh

Okay okay so. basically. the movie ninja are temporarily stuck in showverse, so the show ninja just kind of (slightly awkwardly bc they weren't expecting this AT ALL) take them in for the time being while looking for a way to send them back. we get to see the similarities and differences between the show and movie ninja, we get to see both groups reacting to each others' lore/lives ("you all still go to school? ew" "you all live together like a permanent sleepover? so cool!").

But also. When Ghost possessed Movie Cole. Movie Cole got a whole bunch of Show Cole's memories. They're all jumbled up and discombobulated, though, so for all that M!Cole knows more about his counterpart than any of the other ninja it's usually expressed in Sudden Realizations as the disconnected pieces click into place. Meanwhile, Show Cole kind of has Ghost and Corpse' memories, kind of, and Ghost was pretty much present the entire time he was in movieverse even if he couldn't be seen or heard for most of it (and did have a few episodes where he couldn't see or hear either), so Show Cole also has a weird amount of insight to his counterpart that he doesn't really actively realize he has. This leads to great interactions such as:

S!Cole: i mean, i kind of remember? it's in bits and pieces S!Cole: your history essay was awful btw M!Cole: what would you know, you literally— M!Cole: wait M!Cole: YOU DROPPED OUT OF MARTY OPPENHEIMER'S?! S!Cole: i still know half-assing when i see it! M!Cole: MARTY. OPPENHEIMER'S!!! M!Cole to S!Cole:

and

S!Jay: soooo are those memories making any sense yet? M!Cole: no S!Jay, thinking about the love triangle: oh thank fsm M!Cole: you two fight a lot, huh? S!Cole: i dunno what you're talking about, we're best friends S!Jay, opening the fridge: yep! we're—COLE DID YOU TAKE MY FUCKING PUDDING CUP AGAIN S!Cole: the best of friends 😌😊🌸✨

and

M!Cole, to S!Kai: so what's "human pinata" supposed to be M!Kai: the WHAT S!Kai: ...some things are better left forgotten S!Cole, from across the bounty: HE WAS AN ENTERTAINER AT KIDS PARTIES A FEW YEARS BACK M!Cole: oh M!Kai: oh? OH???? M!Kai:

There's more that I can't recall off the top of my head rn, too. But yeah once the slightly morbid twist is resolved Cleaved gets back to regular crossover shenanigans and impromptu cross-dimensional group therapy. Of course, there's also that fact that M!Cole's indentity was revealed back home, but surely that's not going to cause any problems when they finally figure out how to reliably travel through realms...

right?

thursdays are meaningful again (magnus protocol)

[thorough-witness-enjoyer]

Hello everyone!!! I just wanted to make a small post to thank everyone who left such thoughtful and kind messages on my Witness post!! 😭😭 I was so scared to post my very personal take on the matter, but I’m glad I did as I got to see how many people it resonated with!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR INPUTS AND PERSPECTIVES AHHHH!!! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!❤️❤️

As a thorough Witness enthusiast and someone who deeply loves it more than anything, I will be sure to continue to spread nothing but hatred and malice towards it (not the Precursors) while offering understanding of the origins of its actions!! I post with one hand and hold a brick in the other!!

That said, since everyone liked the previous post, I think I will begin to work on an analysis of Rhulk as a perfect example of the grooming prevalent in ideologies that rely on people giving up their individuality to form a single unified front that can subjugate opposition. In this era where right wing ideologies such as fascism are on the rise, I think there is so much to be learned from the warnings given by Rhulk‘s story (and how despite the atrocities he has committed, he still stands as a testimony of the fragility of the Witness‘ failing ideals).

I think of the relationship Rhulk has with the Witness and my stomach starts to get REALLY upset. It’s such a harrowing dynamic that is becoming more and more abundant in our modern era. GET AWAY FROM THAT LUBRAEN NOW, STAY AWAY ‼️ Those two together revolt me so bad, it’s not even funny, Rhulk step away from the big eyed freak.

But thank you all once more for giving me the courage to continue posting my takes!!! I’m glad to be in this community with all of you and I hope I can inspire others to speak on what Destiny means to them!!! Stay tuned!!

i just dont think im mature enough for a non-lowercase ao3 title to be honest with you

[leporidaecervinae]

Thinking real hard about the underlying implication that Jordan was perfectly content with manipulating Guillermo as long as he played into being the model minority (The Vault conversation), even if there were other minority-status people in the building.

There's something very striking about having a rich cishet white man practically spitting "Know your place" in Guillermo's face. Jordan knows all of the 'points' about Guillermo. He chooses to play on them ("The Optics of a Gay POC being beat up by a white man") and he knows how it'd look if he were openly bigoted about it.

This is further embodied by the founder of Cannon Capital being the oldest mankiest white man to exist. Whilst having a nurse/wife— a commentary on the labour that vulnerable people provide to the people with the most power even in their daily lives? Even if it destroys them?

I adore that Guillermo's instinctive response was anger at being unjustly treated. He had spent months trying to cosy up to the height of power only to be violently rejected for it as soon as he tried to assert himself and stopped being useful. He knew he couldn't lie to himself anymore in that moment.

He might not be a killer, but he'd never stoop to Jordan's level. Nandor almost did it for him, but Guillermo knows how to play the white finance bros' game (collecting secrets, playing dirty). There is a little bit too much trust of the institution doing the right thing there for my tastes but hey, it's a dark comedy built around supernatural beings who kill people who am I to judge.

One of the biggest problems of writing that Frasier post is that the logic of 90s comedies is not real life logic. It's not just that you can just pick which exaggerated thing to believe more (and sometimes you need to outright pick between two mutually excluding canon facts), but also the degree to which you believe anything. Which is fun for theorizing but also terrible for theorizing because to argue one way or another you need to create the fiction that the coherent narrative you are pointing out has value of truth in a universe where the value of truth is the rule of funny.
