Shitting on your favorite piece of media as a love language should be more widely acceptable honestly.
It's like showing your friends the kitten you found in a dumpster who both is adorable and loves cuddles but has also decided that you arm is his own personal scratching post and you affectionately started calling him "fuckface" and it just stuck and you're constantly complaining about how much work he is and how annoying he is but you do it with a smile because you love him and your relationship is very "your lucky your so cute bitch ass motherfucker cuz if anyone else did that it's on sight yk that?" And the cat doesn't give a shit because it's a cat
It's like that like yes it's problematic and I hate it but also you should totally watch it with me sometime like ik I never compliment it but the shit show is part of the charm it's endearing like a dumpster fire
#me after realizing that telling people that my favorite show is crappy isn't the best way to convince them to watch it with me#listennnnn#shit talking is my love language when it comes to this stuff#and just because i shit on it doesn't mean i don't love it the way it is#its a dumpster fire#i walked up to it knowing it was a dumpster#and i saw it was on fire#so i said it was a dumpster fire#doesn't make it any less pretty#it adds to the charm

Actually going insane over the implications of Jason asking Dick to be the Robin to his Batman in Battle for the Cowl.
Like I initially took it at the purely surface-level of Jason wanting a partner in the general sense. Which made sense, it's a huge responsibility and a lonely one so an assistant/sidekick/partner seems a no-brainer if you can get one.
But then I really thought about it, because Jason is not asking Dick to be his partner in the general sense; he's not even asking Dick to be his Nightwing. He's asking Dick to be his Robin.
And they both know exactly what Jason means: "Be the light to my darkness. Be the smile to my scowl. Be the hope to my fear. "
He's saying "Be 'Robin'; be the embodiment of Love and Justice and Goodness. Be the exceptional person that you have always been. Be the slightly-less exceptional person that I was when I wore your colors. Be the person that I was in the process of becoming and might have been (or might still be), if only Joker hadn't clipped my wings."
He's saying "I am prepared to become vengeance, become the Night. And I will go further than Bruce ever dared to, because it is what is needed. I will be the necessary evil. But you don't have to be. If Batman is Gotham's curse, Robin has always been its blessing. I will be the brutal punishment to our world, and I am asking you to be its incandescent gift."
He's saying, "Be for me, what we were for Him. Be my anchor, my comfort, my hope. Remind me what it's all for, why it's all worth it. And remind yourself as well."
He's saying "Be 'Robin' again--for both of our sakes."
#dick grayson#jason todd#battle for the cowl#jaydick#dickjay#kinda but also not kinda#batman#dcu#otp: be my robin#'we can rule together as just it always should've been with you as my guiding light and conscience'#is that not in essence; a sort of marriage proposal ?#well no but it's not NOT one either if you catch my drift#i should note that i haven't actually read bftc yet and i know it's considered controversial/bad#and considered ooc for pretty much everyone#so i am not even sure if I will like it#but i am still planning on reading it for the jaydick crumbs#and b/c i am using it and knightfall as the primary inspo for my krisnix au#apparently jason does ask tim to be his robin first and that's interesting as well#but honestly a little less powerful/interesting to me at least since jaytim just doesn't interest me as much as jaydick#and honestly i've looked at the panels and it seems a little more genuine when jason asks dick idk#more like 'last chance; i'll let you live if you join me' for tim vs. 'join me because this feels right' for dick#and honestly even with clumsy execution; just the narrative and emotional richness of this scene is still making me absolutely feral#this arc could be complete trash in any and every other way but if it gives me THEMES; i will forgive anything#it's the former english major occupational hazard#*apollo justice voice *: I'M FINE#(narrator voice: she was not in fact fine)

Hello, me again.
Thx for answering :)
I guess Zhongli really is a catch in the eyes of everyone, and no one really knows Childe. So maybe they wouldn't get what Zhongli sees in Childe. At least not at first. Maybe we'll get to see more of his badass side later on? I'm also curious if he got some powers from Skirk and the Abyss.
Anyway, their relationship is really cute and developing nicely.
Looks like I mixed up some of Guizhongs and Hu Taos actions ^^"
as another ask just said, there is sort of like a jessica and roger rabbit situation going on there from the eyes of everyone else. like you said, nobody really knows childe here, so for everyone to consider zhongli liking him (zhongli, legendary thaumaturge, certified gentleman, gorgeous man) is kinda like ????? out of left field hahah
i think if they stop to think about it the folks close to them would kinda get it but still be confused. like- you like childe? ...i mean yeah i guess he's very nice. he's also pretty. and yeah he's very generous and kind. and he cares a lot about the kids and he's very good w them. and he gets along with like everyone if you give him some time- ok yeah i can see it. yeah nevermind i get it.
(whereas when they realize childe likes zhongli the reaction is an immediate "of course you would")
#like if they stop to think about it for a second they Get It but also is like#they're on different leagues in everyone's eyes#so it's less that there's nothing immediately evident to love childe for#but more that zhongli is so absurdly good a catch (to them) that childe still being a good option doesn't seem like it would be up to par#if that makes any sense#yknow like how people irl kinda go 'huh' when a really hot person dates a cute but-not-as-hot person#there's no judgement there's no disbelief just a brief 'huh' moment#and maybe some confusion yeah#i think that's kind of what's happening here#like everyone agrees that childe is pretty it's just that he doesn't have the immediately attractive personality to match so they just#forget lmaooo#also since they're all his friends now and their friendship revolves around making fun of him#anyway#yeah!#thank you <3 <3#no worries about guizhong and hu tao; death of the author and all

am i the only one who wants to see centaur Dream pick up on Hob being attracted to him via smell or some other animal sense? Or Dream is embarrassed that he's getting 'riled up' in front of a human and feeling ashamed? Just me?
I put off answering this one because I wasn't sure if I wanted to reveal this yet 😂.
So instead I'm just gonna answer this ask in true HG AU fashion with two fun horse facts!
Fact 1: A horse's sense of smell is bout 50 times stronger than a human's. ( Humans have 5-6 million olfactory receptors, horses have 300 million)
Fact 2: Horses go through a breeding season that lasts from late February through June. Fascinating! :3
#but...#Dream's been pretty neglected#so his body isn't with the program#...#YET#I caved#I answered it#just because Dream can smell Hob doesn't make Dream any less of an idiot.#hgau asks#the ask tag

the people aren't ready to hear this but angelique arbitrarily picking quentin to decide to be in love with out of nowhere, bewitching roger into marriage and then absolutely not wanting him to touch her, and constantly pursuing men's (chiefly barn's) attention only when it's clear he doesn't want her, is soooo comp het of her.
#good luck babe!#the one exception i can think of where she genuinely seems to enjoy physical affection with men is when she's#enthralled joe. and joe is more like a really clingy; very pretty jelly donut in that situation.#in leviathans she's more or less happy with sky who does seem to want her.#but i would strongly argue that what angelique *wants* is the social position of a Wife —#as opposed to being interested in any given man himself.#and there's something really fascinating about the difference between her and julia there; even though ang possesses way more power#(and is theoretically not bound by human gendered/sexual structures of power)#julia found her position (and significant influence!) via her own intellect and career; her want for barnabas is tremendously personal —#not socioeconomic; not needing to be Established in the world as a wife to move through it or find meaning.#(and i realize i'm going against most barnjules shippers here but i do think julia would prefer to be known as Dr. Hoffman infinitely more#than becoming yet another anonymous Mrs. Collins)#but angelique is so different. for her (over and over and over again) finding her place in the human world as a woman means#becoming someone's Wife. whether or not she wants them! and i'd argue she usually doesn't. not like she thinks she does.#and this is sort of only a footnote; but even the ploy to get roger — enrolling as a student in the college in rockport —#is only a Very Temporary ruse to get into position as Mrs. Collins. academic knowledge like julia's; or establishing herself#institutionally doesn't even seem to make a blip on her radar.#feminine identity for ang is Only contained absolutely in the marriage contract#— which the show is pretty explicitly; emphatically against!#julia is the hero to root for (narratively and romantically) and ang the unquestioned antagonist (most of the time)#and her marriage plots are shown as devious and unwanted; even when they're not to the level of brainwashing and drugging roger.#but. man. fascinating. just Fascinating the way ang interacts with sex and gender.#phenomenal cosmic powers ... itty bitty gender space.

I think we need to have a serious re-evaluation of what "leftist" means bc there ain't no fuckin way authcoms are on the same left as me lmao
#atlas entry#from what I understand broadly speaking “the left” does not exist. at least not in the the way “the right” does#“the left” is just a political alliance of convenience between people with sometimes seriously varying views#who only banded together bc of their common cause against the right#bc you can draw a pretty straight line between neo-liberal establishment Republicans and far-right groypers#but the difference between anarcho-communists (good) and authoritarian communists (stupid) is so vast that the two may would be opposed on#pretty much every issue except the “communist” part. and even on that front there's plenty to disagree on#in fact. and this is me swinging wildly at a hornet's nest. I would say but for the communism authoritarian communists should really be#considered right-wing (because of the authoritarianism). the fact that they're communist doesn't make them any less fascistic#I think one of the big issues is that “communist” has become a “big tent” that people use as short-hand for a number of other positions#so many people stopped identifying as feminists when they started identifying as communists bc they think communism includes feminism#(it doesn't)#or they stopped identifying as anti-racist bc they think communism includes anti-racism (it doesn't)#so when you talk about fascist communists it creates a cognitive dissonance where people are like#“But wait fascism is all the bad things and communism is all the good things so how does that work”#and like no. communism is just an economic theory. that's it. it doesn't necessitate anything else#Anyway this wasn't meant to be about why authcoms are stupid but they are so I don't feel bad for saying so lol

On the outside I haha and joke but on the inside I have been crushed by two lorries driving towards me full speed
#fitmc#qsmp#look I'm not surprised at all#i knew full well that he was only going to be doing one more QSMP stream; that was pretty easy to pick up from context clues#but there's something about seeing tangible confirmation that is more than a little upsetting#especially because it's Fit#i will eventually make a looong post about my journey on the QSMP and the impact Fit has had on me#maybe after his lore#god. sometimes knowing you're about to be sucker punched in the nuts still doesn't help you feel any less sick and pained afterwards

I feel like you’re giving me a warped impression of what 40k is like.
Is this because of the adorable catboy dark angels? Do you hate me bc i like it when my power armored kittens yell "REPENT FOR TOMORROW YOU DIE"?
#my stuff#asks#i feel like otherwise i present the setting in a pretty accurate manner...#ive been very vocal in the past abt wanting grit and darkness and body horror in my 40k and specifically my admech#it actually irritates me in a way i'll never vocalize outside tags when i see ppl do like X Reader fanfic n stuff with primarchs or w/e#because it strikes me as interacting with the setting in a very shallow way that ignores the fact that every major character sucks somehow#like yes asmodai kitty very cute but also that is one of the most cruel and sadistic torturers the galaxy has produced outside drukhari#it's like aaron demski bowden finding out ppl wrote gay fanfic about Talos Valcoran and being like 'Are You Okay?'#just bc they're the protagonists doesn't make them any less sadistic serial killers#so seeing ppl do shipping and stuff like that wrt literally any space marines or transhumans strikes me as in poor taste in the same way#anyways i have thoughts and opinions but who cares. catboy dark angels cute.

ruthlessly deleting old 2021/2022 posts (not by me) from my dean studies tag like *click* un-incorporating that from my beliefs system! also the way SO many posts have me like ok uh-huh good aaand then say one completely wrong thing that loses me. it's so many posts.
#it's usually when they randomly drop some line of fanon. like saying dean has never admitted to being wrong in his life#or never expressed an emotion or been vulnerable or doesn't Talk About Feelings or is super duper RepressedTM#like i'm sorry. have you watched the show. oh and have you taken off the sammy POV goggles first?#bc this guy is always crying and being vulnerable and talking about his feelings. he is self-aware.#he may not always want to talk to sam abt things! but he sure does talk about things with other people#do i need to reblog the compilation posts AGAIN?#(also re: his sexualiy? AWARE. sorry i saw him flirt and be flustered by so many men. he knows how he feels.)#and then 'first time ever admitting to being wrong' this one came from a post abt dean's prayer in the trap#like i'm sorry but first of all. dean apologizes more than any other character on the show. there are hard numbers on this.#people have tracked this on spreadsheets. i think ilarual is one of them.#and often he is apologizing for things that aren't even his fault! but he still feels responsible for bc he's been made to feel that way#his whole life!!#other characters *cough samandcas *cough* apologizing Less doesn't mean they've Done less things wrong#it just means they're not owning up to it and brushing it under the rug. something both do frequently.#anyways. aside from apologies. dean also has no problem admitting he's wrong y'know when he's actually wrong#which is less often than you'd think bc he has pretty good instincts and intuition and often suspects things which turn out to be Right#but anyways. another thing abt the trap prayer is. i don't think cas Needed to be forgiven#i think dean was justified in feeling angry w cas over the circumstances leading to the Death of His Mother! totally normal grief response!#i think cas also understands dean to be someone who needs time to process and deal with his feelings (he says as much to jack)#however. despite me not think dean Needs to forgive cas. the thing is. with dean when it comes to cas the forgiveness is implicit#when he says /of course i forgive you/ and in the cut like /of course i wanted you to stay/ like. yes he was mad and dealing with grief#but also. yes cas was already forgiven even back then. he just needed Time to work through the feelings#anyways i think dean says he 'forgives' cas bc it's what CAS needed to hear to stop feeling guilty and dean gives him that closure#but i also think cas was already forgiven even in dean's anger. he wants him there always. i'd rather have you. we can fix this. etc etc#a lot of tags for a non-rebloggable post ajksdfs maybe i'll make these into a real post sometime#vic.txt#dean and feelings#so i can find this all again later

It is not classist that Jason, a vigilante in a *family of vigilantes*, is violent like the rest | just | because he comes from a poor family
What's (more likely) classist is writers thinking he needs to be taught right vs wrong from Bruce and co and that he consequently makes snap judgments out of some childish grudge-fueled rebellion which makes him dangerous the way a toddler holding a knife is dangerous
#that dumb godzilla vs kong beast wrld issue is a prime example of what I'm talking abt#but I can't even say that's | classism | per se#cause it's also just a product of writers not liking him solely for being in opposition to their bbyg bruce#kelseethe#when will people get it in their heads that shooting someone isn’t “more" violent#than cracking their skulls on cement or ripping their bodies to shreds “but keeping them alive”#things the other bats do pretty regularly and with quite a bit of pride too#it will never not be weird that people see Jason remorselessly poisoning a child trafficker who did it for EXTRA cash#or shooting+killing a dude who was deliberately poisoning his young kid and wife with a drug similar to street fentanyl#and think he should have his edges rounded out#people who say Jason can afford to be “less violent”#are accidentally “Jason should kill less sob sob urban legends is good” schmucks#which is kinda more pathetic than being his anti like at least they *know* what they're saying#even if he was more rageful like in rh gotham war instead of cold/detached like in utrh I'd have that any day#over cheer Jason's “sob sob bad people dying still has consequences I don't really know how to cope with so rubber bullets see” nonsense#ever since his appearance in batman 408. everything Jason has done#he did knowing exactly why he was doing it and what the consequence(s) would be#he believes the extent of “harm” a person causes is always their choice#and he doesn't do more for the sake of revelling in the pain he causes the way bruce does#but whatever he does do he never tries to sugarcoat or downplay which makes it all the more agreeable#and he certainly doesn’t convince himself he does it out of love or compassion or some other mushy horeseshit#like sorry you're of feeble mind but I'm not a wuss and I think it's very logical and cool lol

To everyone who made a fuss about Lola Bunny's redesign in Space Jam: A New Legacy when it was first revealed, making claims like how she's not as attractive as she was in the first movie...
💖 You are wrong. 💖
#F/O#Romantic F/O#F/O Gush#F/O Community#Self-Ship Community#Looney Tunes#Space Jam A New Legacy#Space Jam#「Lola Bunny: Somebunny Loves You」#💙🧡🤍#Shoutout to my sister and best friend for putting up with my gushing over Space Jam 2's Lola#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#SHE IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!!!! 💙🧡🤍🧡💙#And to think there was a controversy about people not liking this design.#I could rant about that but I'd use up all my tags so to give you a brief TLDR#People were up in arms because they were upset that A New Legacy 'de-sexualized' Lola#And if all Lola is worth in your eyes is if whether or not she's shapely... pardon my light French but what the hell is wrong with you?#She might have had a redesign but that clearly doesn't make her any less gorgeous as I'm certain this post properly illustrates.#Like just look at that tenth screencap. The one where she has her hands clasped together#She is so pretty and soft I'm!!!!!!!!!!!#Literally every time she appears on-screen I get all giddy and lovey!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖#It's not all about looks either. Lola is a great deal compassionate in this film as much as she is competitive#That's why I included one of her quotes in the sixth image's ID because it stuck out to me. She is so motivational#... and pretty. And talented. And pretty. And brave. And exuberant. And pretty.#Did I mention pretty???????? 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖#I love her SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

#okay so i think i haven't told this story to you guys but i've been thinking about it a lot waiting for the surgery day#(oh i guess content warnings for injury and animal death. idk all of this is pretty heavy stuff)#but when this dog was a puppy he broke his leg. quite badly actually#and for the following six months i was Convinced that both he and i had literally DIED#and the world around us just failed to recognize the blazing red Game Over text superimposed over my line of sight#so we - literal zombies still bleeding from our mortal wounds - had to perform the movements of being alive#this got better when the puppy was finally healed#but the flashbacks. the hallucinations. they followed me for years and years and only slowly faded away#and now when the dog is sick again - with something completely unrelated - those are coming back again! what fun!#and i don't know if i've ever been as scared of anything as actually for real losing this dog in a traumatic event#if he just dies this wednesday#like. probably he doesn't. most dogs survive the operation these days they say#but just the small chance of something going wrong#i don't know if i'll survive if he doesn't. how can i keep going if he doesn't#i'm scared you guys. this dog is the literal light of my life#(i was going to name him with the finnish word for light but that didn't stuck in the end. didn't make it any less true)#sussitalk

#been thinking about the placement of the showdown between belos and the hexsquad happening in ep 1 instead of anywhere else#mainly for lunter reasons if that is ever not obvious#(aka for a lunter endgame it makes more sense to have the ending of TTT happen in the last episode because Stakes)#(hunter actually dies and flapjack's sacrifice is the conclusion of the evelyn/caleb backstory)#(and it's pretty hard to work hunter or anyone from the hexsquad into the final showdown otherwise)#this is where the show shoots itself in the foot by having luz and hunter's relationship be on like tier C of importance#because it IS emotionally charged to see belos exerting that kind of power into the kid he groomed one last time#it IS emotionally charged to see luz wrestle with her determination to defeat belos and her love for hunter#it IS emotionally charged to know that someone will die here and it may be one of the kids#whereas the battle at the end of WAD is barely a battle and just meant to be the bow on top of luz's development#if luz and hunter's relationship had been more central to the show then hunter facing belos is a given AND a good narrative choice#who else gets to kill belos but the person created in the likeness of the one that made belos reach such lows to begin with?#or at the very least have the other people close to luz have some history with belos or something#eda couldn't care less about belos. same for king. and don't even get me started on amity...............#this is just a hexsquad problem btw like what is willow's bearing in this. the track system works wonders for her#in theory her life with belos as emperor is as good as it will ever be#same thing with gus#it's just hunter! that's the important piece there!#this show is just. broken. it truly refuses to bring up any of the actually interesting characters#sorry this rambling doesn't have a point besides 'toh is dumb sometimes' which is a thing i often say anyways#but man...... besides luz's resolution there's nothing to the ending. nothing.

Yknow with the amount of discussion I've seen about the whole 'toning down Sokka's sexism' thing, the more convinced I am that they only said that as a marketing technique.
Things are gonna be different in the new show and the people who aren't gonna watch it probably won't regardless. But putting out a super controversial statement a few weeks before it airs succeeds in having everyone talking about it, and I feel like they'd have known that. This to me smells of a marketing strategy to get people talking, and get people watching to just see how bad it is or how they actually play it out.
#Wren rambles#avatar the last airbender#Atla#atla live action#avatar live action#Sokka#This doesn't make me any more or less excited tbh#I'm interested to see how they do things#Don't have high hopes but it'll look pretty and if I'm going in with those expectations I'll have fun#Idk the amount of knee jerk reactions and the same thing said over and over has me sus#Or maybe I still have too high a view of film makers lol

Realized you might be a good person to ask for input about these two guys from a show I like (if it's not too much trouble). It's a western show but these characters are Japanese and they're both friends and coworkers. One is the boss's son and has a somewhat more "childish" personality, and typically addresses his friend with the "-kun" honorific, while his friend doesn't use honorifics for the first guy. What if anything would you say this indicates about their friendship?
oh hm!!! I mean, I can't really say much without knowing the characters myself. I should probably give the caveat that I don't speak Japanese lol I just hyperfixated on honorifics for a bit because that's just how my brain works. I'd say the one using "-kun" is using it with some affection! "-kun" is used between boys/young men who are similar ages, and also used by adults for boys/men younger than them. It could potentially be used in a rude way depending on the dynamic, but I'm assuming these two characters are the same age, and since you said he's got a kind of childish personality, it seems to me that he's probably using it in a friendly way, like "we're buddies!! we're bros!!"
as for the other character, I guess it would really depend on how he's using his name and how he refers to other people! It's a lot harder to draw conclusions on the absence of something since I don't know the character and context lol just based on the vibes you've given from this ask, I'd assume his lack of honorifics is just. neutral? it's not rude but it's not overly familiar but it's not particularly respectful either. it's just his name!
#asks#anonymous#linguistics blogging#hope that helps!!#I don't speak japanese I just find honorifics fascinating#ESPECIALLY in a context like this where it can potentially reveal something about a character dynamic!#but linguistic choices alone can't tell you things without also taking into account the characters and their personalities and the setting#like to use mp100 as an example since I had my deranged honorifics project for that#mob and teru refer to each other as hanazawa-kun and kageyama-kun#because they're the same age and they're friends#using their last names is slightly less familiar than using their given names#but it's still friendly and respectful#meanwhile to contrast them there's ritsu and shou#who call each other suzuki and ritsu respectively#that's pretty consistent for shou because he doesn't use honorifics for anyone lol#but it's noteworthy for ritsu because he is typically very careful and respectful with his speech#and uses the honorifics expected by gender and age#so it's striking that he doesn't use any for shou#which could be rude coming from anyone else but I think for him actually indicates more closeness bc he's not performing as much politeness#that's a long ramble lol but basically a lot of how particular linguistic choices can be analyzed#depends on the character and their personality!#my favorite thing to do is like. okay these characters are making this linguistic choice. WHY. what does it mean for them as a character
