Okay, but I actually know people like this.

They are the sweetest people and they have ALL the good intentions but they also are so dumb sometimes.

Also, I feel like Patroclus and Paris are very similar in the sense that they both want to prove themselves to their older relative that they idolized. They are both trying to prove that they are old enough to handle themselves.

Hector and Achilles, both (especially in Troy) want to protect them. In the illiad, Achilles actually send Patroclus into battle and it's Hector who is super protective.

I actually like it better in the movie because I think it fits better.

He is so pathetic and lovely, I adore him

Just saying if Mephisto had a shower card it would probably be him in a bath tub holding a wine glass cause he has class. 👌

Welp, here’s another Mouthwashing post bc I have some thoughts™️ that are definitely controversial

TW: Mentions of rape, miscarriage, forced pregnancy, abortion, suicide and basically everything involving Anya’s assault at the hands of Jimmy

.

.

.

I don’t think that AUs where Anya keeps the baby are bad. I think they’re unrealistic given the context of the story and the fact that they are stranded in outer space (and without medical supplies). Realistically, even if she had survived her suicide attempt, the stress of being stranded on the Tuplar most likely would have caused her to miscarry. That being said, in the context of Anya’s character I don’t think it’s an unreasonable assumption. She is shown as a kind, playful, compassionate character when we see her from Curly’s POV and it’s not unreasonable to assume that in different circumstances she may have wanted to have the child. I feel like the decision could have gone either way, given what we know about her. While most people agree she would have terminated the pregnancy, and while that is a valid interpretation, I feel as though the fandom at large is refusing to acknowledge the nuance of the situation. that’s not to say that every AU where Anya keeps the baby is masterfully written, however, having the only acceptable happy ending AU be one were Anya gets an abortion misses the point of her character entirely. When Jimmy assaults Anya, he removes her agency completely. I find this ironic in the sense that the majority of the fan base has decided that the only way Anya could truly be happy is to not have the baby. To me this seems like just another way agency is stripped from her. I feel like the fandom ignores that aspect in favor of chewing our people with differing views on Anya’s assault and the resulting pregnancy. As an assault victim myself who was in a similar situation to Anya, it saddens me to see that people are sticking to this one dimensional idea of what Anya’s happiness should look like. Anyways, I would love to hear Tumblr’s thoughts on the matter as opposed to Twitter’s. I would just like to have an open discussion about this without a slew of harassment following…

Quidditch disscussion

Quidditch CompetitivenessJames: "So, I’m obviously the better Quidditch player. Just admit it, Reg."

Regulus: "Better? You fell off your broom trying to show off last match."

James: "That was strategy. I distracted the Slytherin chasers."

Regulus: "Yes, they were so distracted laughing at you they scored three goals."

James: "Touché. But you love me for it."

Regulus: "No, I tolerate you because no one else will."

Hola gaby sabes si si somos bienvenidos aquí? Me toco ver que hay algunos diciendo que esperan que no duremos y nos vayamos y me siento algo inseguro ahora de hacer mi cuenta porque no quiero incomodar a los de aqui pero no se si tu sepas más

Cómo en todas las aplicaciones obviamente hay diferentes opiniones, pero yo he visto personas dándonos la bienvenida, por lo que me explicaron los de Tumblr y Twitter tienen historia puesto que son dos personalidades completamente opuestas, aquí no soportan el odio por odiar, cosa que sucede seguido en Twitter, entonces me imagino algunas personas sólo no quieren que no respetemos a su comunidad y vengamos a causar problemas, una reacción normal si lo piensas.

Pero he visto muchas personas dándonos la bienvenida, sólo nos piden que respetemos sus reglas y nos dan avisos de cosas que podemos hacer y cosas que no, es cuestión de adaptarse a una nueva comunidad paso a paso.

You complain that people think that ranni and co are just evil villians

But then you simp for her?!

Ew she'd stab you in the back too.

I’m confused on why you phrased this as though those are two contradicting statements, but whatever.

And yes, I am mad that half the fandom see the Demi-gods (including Marika/Radagon) as evil just for the sake of being evil because none of them are. Malenia nuked Caelid to further her brothers plans because she loved and trusted him. Ranni slayed Godwyn to be free of her Two Fingers in the hopes that later on she could banish the Greater Wills influence from the Lands Between permanently. Miquella brainwashed Mogh and Radahn (and sacrificed many other people) to achieve godhood and bring opon what he thought would be a kinder age for everyone. Etc etc. NONE of them are good people of course, but they are still morally complex characters and we should treat them as such.

And the “Ranni would stab you in the back” is just wrong? Ranni is never an antagonist to the player, even if you are on the side of the Golden Order. Ranni slayed Godwyn out of necessity. She had to, to kill her mortal flesh. Godwyn was the best choice to do this because he would’ve been her greatest obstacle, a Demi-god loyal to the Golden Order. She never once tries to fight the player no matter what route you take.

A lot of people brought this up and probably already talked about this, but what do you guys think is the meaning behind gansey saying “Gansey, that’s all there is.” ??

Imagine one day they just randomly start drawing the GTA6 artwork here :')

New helluva short just dropped and I have to say it was absolutely hilarious. Suprisingly its probably one of the most positive experiences i have recently had with helluva boss. Short, simple, and funny. The second season is full of plot and romance drama, and while i dont particulary mind this content i wish the show had more going for it. Like disscussion about hierarchy in hell or IMP having law troubles cause of illegal use of grimouir, or just the assasination bussines. So i am glad for these shorts because they are exactly what the show premise was about. Sheanigans while doing the job. And this one was perfect for me. First i love Blitz, so i am always glad to see him. He is so goofy here. I like how he is animated as well, cute sneaky little lizard. His short song about kills, him being absolutely done with the target, and the "stab, stab, stab" part. Its such an absurd, i love it. Its similiar to how he was at the beginnig when he was portrayed as a clown. And i love all his trauma, but i feel like his personality recently got less vibrant, so its good to see it again. Also his talk with Milly is just such a nice detail? It makes me think he sometimes goes with Mox to see musicals despite being really uninterested in them, and being there just because he tries to be a good friend? Like thats so sweet. And portrays character development. And Millie being kind of done with musicals too is also really funny. Its like her and Blitz are bonding. Least but not last we have the monster fucker. I think its safe to say it was inspired by real fandom. The fanfics one can find... they can get absolutely insane. Obviously the character is a parody and not a literal representation but i think it managed the vibe really well. It made me laugh a lot.

So yea, really liked the short. It pains me to say it but i think it may be my favourite part of the whole 2nd season...

A bit of a hot take; I hope if Frida gets introduced properly with an official name, it will be something other than Frida?

(omg this rant became so long please read it tho i’m going insane)

I hope so because I feel like it would characterize her life (assumably) being raised by Big Mama a bit more, since her design tastes as we see through her hotel’s decor leans a lot towards old money art deco motifs combined with gothic architecture. I feel like Frida Kahlo’s primitivism and surrealism would be a bit out of character? Or at least a missed opportunity for some characterization.

(Okay maybe it’s not quite gothic but idc, let me speak-)

See here all the difference between Big Mama’s taste and Frida Kahlo’s paintings, I’m not saying she wouldn’t like her work, I just think that if Big Mama designs all her estates with such a clear creative vision & what seems to be her own personal tastes (*cough cough* old money ass fashion sense *cough cough*) I feel like she’d be more knowledgeable and/or more partial to a different area of the art world for Kahlo to be enough of her favorite to name her personal assistant/maybe I hope surrogate daughter after her?

I like to think if Big Mama named her after some artists she personally liked, I think she might lean more towards artists from the art deco scene like Tamara de Lempicka, or Sonia Delaunay.

Or maybe gothic architects could give her a name truer to the hidden city and battle nexus architecture that she’d’ve been surrounded by her whole life. All those gargoyles and sprawling jagged designs once you push past the illusion of Big Mama’s normal hotel front make such a dichotomy! Julia Morgan (the lady who designed California’s Hearst Castle which, “mixes Spanish Colonial, Gothic, Neo-Classical and Mediterranean Revival style all in one property.” I think that would be such a good combination of styles to reference with Big Mama’s choice on what to name this person omg) and Odile Decq are such pretty names!!

I love Odile Decq’s personal style and work on one particular building sm, the Phantom Restaurant of the Garnier Opera.

LIKE OMG THAT JUST SCREEAAAMMMS BIG MAMA, she would absolutely name a girl after the lady who’d design that and you cannot convince me otherwise. And Odile would fit in with “Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael” so well omg. And look at this woman, look at her style, she NEEDS a ninja turtle named after her omg.

And finally, a bit controversial but I never really liked the name Frida in the first place?

Don’t get me wrong, her work is legendarily meaningful and skillful. It’s just that in recent years, she’s been packaged and sold as this “girlboss feminist icon” because of her suffering, and because of that, her image in pop culture has kind of been watered down to the point where it feels like if they were to name her Frida, i’d think like, all the thought that went into it would be, “okay she’s a girl, what girl painters do we know?” Which (although well intentioned-) kinda feels like reverting back to stereotyping her as “the girl one” even though that’s what they were trying to avoid by not naming her Venus? If that makes sense? So I’m glad her name isn’t concrete yet lol.

And OMG I WANT HER NAME TO BE ODILE SO BAD NOW YOU DONT EVEN KNOW💖✨💝‼️✨ I only found her work literally as I was typing this but I just love that building and how much Big Mama would absolutely love that building, she needs to be named Odile, look at her face, that’s an Odile face <3

Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael, and Odile, (and maybe Kirby? :D) i love itt

What video games would The Doctor play?

I was talking with my brother about what games the tenth doctor would play, I think he would a farming or life sim game, but, what video games would each of the doctors play? Discuss

[fortunatelyyoungbarbarian]

Thinking about avatar and bending again. Honestly, I believe myself to be quite knowledgeable on the art of bending, but I still have so many questions.

So idk, I hope someone who understands better than me could give me some insight. Also, discussions around bending stiles are really fascinating.

So, I'll just list the ones we know for sure and then some ramblings and ideas I had.

Like last time, I'll go through the bending stiles based on the atla intro because I can.

Also, I'll be basing this on the rules set up in atla, not tlok. Just fyi.

Water

Waterbending (basic)

Swampbending - just bending swamp water? Can they turn it into ice as well? Don't know why they couldn't but we never saw that as far as I'm aware

Plantbending (?) - not sure if that's the name, but I'm referring to that one guy who bended vines in the swamp. About that, how far does that go? Just vines? I'm no plant expert but I'm sure there are a lot of plants that have the same amount of water in them like vines. So they should bend them too, shouldn't they? That seemingly doesn't take the power of the moon to do that as well.

Bloodbending - the good shit. Being able to control a living being by taking control over the water in their blood. Works only under the full moon (again, I'll be ignoring tlok for this). The question I have here is how far that goes. Theoretically, could they control a corpse? As long as it has blood in it still, of course. Again, I'm no doctor, so idk how long a person keeps their blood after death. Could they constrict the blood flow and make appendages die off? Clod a vein or so? Make someone experience a heartattack?

Sweatbending - bending sweat. Duh. But does that mean they can bend urine? I'm sure they can bend tears.

Cloudbending

They can suck out the water out of stuff as Hama shows Katara. So can they suck out the water out of people? Dry out our eyes? Idk, stuff like that. I don't know why they shouldn't be able to do so

Mistbending - I don't know if that's in the show tbh. But it should be pretty much like cloudbending so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Earth

First of all, I don't know what the fuck earth really is. Like I googled it, but I'm still confused. So if someone could clear that up for me, I would appreciate it a lot xD.

Earthbending (basic)

Sandbending

Metalbending - they should be able to bend weapons, right? Like swords. They can levitate swords. They can fight from a distance with a sword.

Lavabending

Crystalbending - I'm talking about Aang when they were in Ba Sing Se, when he made himself an armour out of the crystals. That opens the question on what earth really is. Like it's minerals, isn't it? Idk about that. But if you can bend minerals, that means they can bend a lot more, can't they? Again, they could make weapons with that and use them as I explained with metalbending.

Colebending - can they make diamonds out of them? I don't see why not, diamonds are just cole with a lot of pressure. But does that mean they could bend diamonds?

Mudbending - self-explanatory imo. But could they separate the earth part from the water? I think so

Glassbending - I've heard about this before from the fandom, but idk. Is glass the same as sand or does it change it's... uh... element? Idk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bonebending - I've heard that a few times as well but idk. As I said, I'm not sure what earth even is and I also don't know what bones are as well soo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Symmetric sense - don't know if it counts as bending tho

Fire

Firebending (basic)

Lightningbending

Combinationbending

Mistbending - I mean, mist is basically hot water right? So could they bend the heat there and bend the mist through that?

Heatbending - with that I mean being able to put heat into stuff and suck it out. I would say fire-breathing counts as well. Again, I don't see why they couldn't.

Lavabending - I would use the same explanation as for the mistbending. Again, idk if that would be possible, but it's a neat idea I've seen around the fandom a few times.

Chibending - this is something I'm again not sure about but hear me out: We got chi-blocking, granted, it's from Ty Lee and a lot of people theorise that she's an airbender decent so that could come from there. But at the same time, lightningbending and lightning redirection rely heavily on chi. So that gave me the idea that maybe they can bend their own chi and the chi of others? On the other hand, chi could also be something that everyone has. That would mean that everyone can redirect lightning, wouldn't it though? Again, idk, just a thought.

Heat... sight? - basically, couldn't they feel/ see the heat from living beings? Similar to the symmetric sense?

Air

Honestly, I don't have that much on airbending so my bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Airbending (basics)

Sucking air out - like out of lungs or stuff

Temperature regulation

Flight

Earthbending - Ok, listen. Rocks have air bubbles in them, right? So could they bend the air in them and move rocks? They could also blow them up through that, right? Again, just spit balling.

Firebending - again, fire needs air, so could they manipulate fire through air?

Waterbending - same thing here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Spirit stuff idk - airbenders were the most spiritual so maybe they could spirit bend or something idk.

Again, I would love to hear what other think. A lot of those things are also just ramblings and ideas and I'm no genius so keep that in mind.

I just want to say... I'm surprised no one one has done art involving red velvet and shadow milk, despite the fact if people looked at them both a detail can be noticed, red velvet and shadow milk share similar eyes, one dark, one light, red does only have one eye color but as far as we have seen red and shadow milk are the only ones with eyes like that

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS???

This is all I have to say

[desirdae-archive]

i am poc and pro transrace and accomodating racial dysphoria or taking steps towards ethnically transitioning / passing . what do you make of this /genq

Trans race as in the transID is harmful. It completely ignores the oppression POC have gone through. Being able to “choose” to be indigenous is like a slap in the face to all of the indigenous folks who have been killed , assaulted , and unfairly prosecuted just cuz they are not white.

i think accommodating racial dysphoria as in learning more about cultures , talking to people who are of that ethnicity, lightly tanning(in safe ways) is ok. But lying about your race , doing blackface / asainface, trying to claim your POC when your not is 100% not ok full stop.

Another big problem is the fact that the concept of race in itself is well racist, we suggest checking out this post as they explained it better then we ever could.

hopefully this may provide you with some insight.

note: completely forgot about this fact(thanks for the commenter for reminding us) TransRace as a term was stolen from adoptees and mixed race folks. It’s so scummy to steal a term and appropriate it to mean something completely different.
