I wanted to avoid posting about this cause I prefer not experiencing spoilers and experiencing it all for the first time when I watch it with mio fratello but I have so many thoughts up in my teeny lil brain I just gotta post em.
First: Hank's gonna be Cyborg Supes! That was pretty obvious seeing how random his death was in the finale but it's still cool. I like how he's got the Lexcorp symbol on his chest.
In the bottom left you can see a Kryptonian (Kara it looks like?) with three other individuals, one of whom seems to be bearded. They all have long trenchcoat jacket things. Also on the left is Intergang. I guess they just needed to fill the screen up, unless these guys just casually go back to fighting Clark in S3.
Gods I hope Conner is the one who makes Lex bald that would be so in-character and funny. But also we got a Conner of color! Thank you MAWS for making the cast diverse cause the longer I stare at an all-white cast the further they all look like Zac Efron to me. Although his origin may be different since both Clark and Lex are so mela-non I think a sunburn would actually just kill them. Maybe he'll be experimented on and given the powers (and then at that point you could do animal testing and give us Krypto? Please??). Maybe he just has a different skin tone and it's not that deep. Idk but I can't wait to find out.
Punk Conner I've missed you. The only people who think the leather jacket look is dated and should have died in the 90s are also folks unaware of the punk scene today. Punk menace Conner you will always be famous to me.
"GET YOUR FUCKING DOG BITCH"
"It don't bite :)"
"YES IT DO"
#the zac efron thing is only mildly a joke btw#i told my friend about the white guy scale yesterday. zac is at one end chris pine is at the other. james marsden is somewhere in the middl#she told me i need to get out more#i agree#my adventures with superman#maws season 3#maws spoilers#like massive spoilers#superman show#the worst part is im not even involved in celebrity culture. i havent thought of zac in like years.#and chris i only think of through that one christmas vine#why am i like this#superman#clark kent#kal el#kara zor el#conner kent#kon el#maws

Do you think Peter's ever accidentally saved famous people? Not just like superhero famous but regular celebrities.
Like, a lot of people headcanon that Peter is obsessed with Hamilton, and Broadway is literally in NYC. Do you think Peter's ever been in the middle of a supervillain fight and swung down to rescue someone, and once he'd gotten them to safety been like, Lin Manuel Miranda???????
#peter parker#spider-man#thoughts#john mulaney lives in NYC! how do you think gen z peter would feel about rescuing him???#and all the other celebrities in that area?#what if one night mark fucking hamill was the host of snl#and somehow peter ended up protecting LUKE SKYWALKER HIMSELF from some animal costumed goon?#ned would have a HEART ATTACK#PETER would have a heart attack#just like. the comedic potential of spider-man as the hero of one of THE cultural centers of the country#even better: what if one day instead of him being starstruck- the celebrity he saved gets starstruck by HIM#queueueueue#tony: kid if you wanted to meet harrrison ford you should've just said something. I'll invite him to dinner next time he's in town#peter- remembering very suddenly that his mentor dad is ALSO A CELEBRITY: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thinking about how during Twitchcon Paris I saw French people saying that it was so nice to see people talking positively about their country, not as the punchline of a dismissive joke, enjoying their city. And how during the QSMP Brazil meetup I saw Brazilian people talking about how nice it was to see the different cultural aspects of their country celebrated instead of ignored, the food and the drinks and the landscape. And I hope we can remain positive when people descend on the States.
#just#it hurts you nothing to focus on celebrating a culture and its joys#instead of making fun#idk#it's not the end of the world if people are LMAO about Vegas#but part of what I love about the qsmp is the postive aspects of cultural exchange

Kaeya oftentimes wonders what it must have been like, living in Khaenri'ah. Reading the tales of Khaenri'ahn heroes Jean's shared with him, of things he remembered his father mentioning, helped him picture it all. As did knowledge the Akademiya has of Dahri ruins he managed to get his hands on one way or another years later, during his visit to Sumeru.
#hc; kaeya#//It was really after meeting Dainsleif that the thoughts increased exponentially; and became almost painful#//Thoughts of what it could have been like; had he grown up a 'proper' Alberich; surrounded by family & the culture he'd been wrenched from#//Of what Khaenri'ah looked like in her heyday; of the countless people lost because of the Cataclysm living their daily lives#//He wants to learn so much more; no matter what it means#//He loves Mond dearly; but it hurts feeling that emptiness from being denied that connection#//Of losing his mother tongue the longer it went unused; of not knowing the traditions he ought to have celebrated#//Rites of passage he must have missed in favor of Mond traditions; holidays; family customs#//Could he have had siblings? Cousins? Aunts; uncles; GRANDPARENTS???#//What would his upbringing have been like? Strict? Lenient? Would they have accepted him as he was? No mask necessary?#//Could his father have truly loved him so closely; instead of keeping him at arms length like he KNEW they'd have to part soon?#//That he didn't want to grow too fond of his own child because he could lose him any moment? (is it a wonder kae does the same at times?)#//What would it have been like; being a Knight of Khaenri'ah? Surely he would have given Khaenri'ah his heart; like he had for Mond#//If Khaenri'ah still stood to this day...would he; Diluc and Jean have still been friends? As fond and close as they once had been?#//Logically; he doubts that; but his foolish heart likes to think the three were MEANT to meet; one way or another#//MEANT to have that friendship they'd once shared (before he went and ruined everything with Diluc)#//Surely they would have found a way to make it work; no matter the distance from Khaenri'ah to Mondstadt#//Maybe they could have bridged the gap between the godless nation and the people of the Anemo Archon#//Ahh; but that's wishful thinking; now wouldn't it be?#//He likes to wonder how it would have felt; having that certain loyalty to his nation; not torn between his family's past & his current on#//Would he have been happier; had he been born to and raised in that nation? Rather than left to live in this one?#//Though he'd have to wonder if that would be true; considering the Archons' treatment of them in the end#//No doubt war would always be looming on the horizon; and if Dahri records were right...Celestia wasn't their only issue#//Still; he can't help but dream; and with a certain; aching longing at that

unironically love stepping out into the balcony on Tsiknopempti and just sniffing the air like a curious cat to take in the ✨️tsikna✨️
#explanation for my non greek pals: tsiknopempti comes from combining the words tsikna + pempti#pempti means Thursday and tsikna means the smoke & scent coming off of well-grilled meat. There's no single word for it in english iirc#so tsiknopempti is the last day when we can eat meat before lent starts (greek orthodox christian tradition)#(tho idk if other orthodox cultures have a similar thing.)#so we grill a lot of different kinds of meat to 'indulge in before lent' even if the average citizen only actually practices lent the week-#-before easter lol (me included oops)#it's kind of a celebration before the carnival too and it kind of signals the end of winter and the coming of spring#it's also kind ot a joke because unironically the entire city air gets a hit hazy bc of all the grill smoke. esp towards sundown#unironically EVERYWHERE smells like it lmao#although most of us in the city just order souvlaki & stuff from souvlaki restaurants instead of grilling#BUT my mum is grilling tonight ehe.#greek stuff

Isn't it funny how today it’s pretty common belief on here that the idea of 'cringe' and shaming of people who like 'cringe' things is bad. That the big fandoms back in the day that people like to make fun of - superwholock and john green books and twilight and homestuck and whatever was popular at the time - certainly had elements very deserving of critique, but how that critique largely drowned under people pointing and laughing at, the mostly teen girl, fans. Like, we are pretty agreed that this was bad, right? That it’s cruel to actual people and makes it difficult to have genuine conversations about the actual flaws of the media and fandoms in question, right??
And yet here we are today and I see people doing the exact same thing to newer fandoms with the defense that the fans are cringe or, if you're trying to be all moral about it, problematic and possibly evil for liking a popular media. Like, I don’t care about reylo or our flag means death or taylor swift or romantasy novels to any particular extent. I don’t have a horse in this race. But I keep seeing their fans treated as acceptable targets for harrassment or bullying. Posts talking about how immoral they are and then their screenshoted 'proof' is mostly just. Women being passionate about a thing that they love, or god forbid daring to defend it or being bummed about everyone else harrassing them. And I think it's kind of scary how we keep repeating this cycle of designating a media as inherently problematic, therefore all of its fans are problematic, therefore they are deserving of every ounce of mocking and public shaming they get.
#when the whole cait corraine thing went down last year i legit saw posts going around saying not to give reylos or even xiran any credit#bc the poster was so set on seeing them as inherently immoral that they refused to accept they could help do good or be victims of bad#of posts i see making fun of cringe fans with screenshots half are actually horrifically bad and deserving of critique#the other half are just women having fun and then being mocked for it#we talk a lot of shit today about how cringe culture is dead and yet this behaviour keeps repeating#and if you dare critique it you risk end up being one of the people screenshoted and mocked for daring to care about something cringe#don’t get me wrong. do critique fandoms for fucked up behaviour. do critique media and celebrities for their shit when deserving#but by now whenever something gets popular to the extent of being mainstream I start counting the days to its downfall#bc when a fandom gets big enough there’s bound to be enough annoying/genuinely shitty people there to leave a mark#and at that point vindictive people on the internet will start actively looking for reasons to deem them Problematic and Acceptable Targets#I've lost count of how many times I've seen it happen#anyway. that's enough opinionating on tumblr dot com for today#rambles

I feel like recently there’s been a fundamental misunderstanding of Taylor by newer fans. I think it stems from fans choosing to view her not as a human being, but rather seeing her as an infallible being, content creator or something else and leaving no room for who she actually is outside of this image they have created of her.
#taylor swift#I think the assumptions bit is reflective of our broader culture#like the amount of music she’s released these past few years is a lot!#but to constantly demand her to release this or that shortly after the release of some project is a lot#there’s also people who are fans just to try and point out when she does something they view as an error or wrong#like some people want her to do things that just aren’t her#it feels like some fans just want her to be their little doll and get mad when she does something that’s not what they want#I’ve been around for a while/have listened and read what she’s said#I’m not saying I’m the end all be all authority on her or know her as if I were her#I’m just saying that I know what she’s been like in the past and have seen things#I’ve said it countless times but don’t put humans on pedestals it’s not good for either party#like at the end of the day celebrities are just like you and me human

I actively try to forget celebrity knowledge. Who are they? Don't know. Oh they're dating someone? I don't care. Their sexuality? What, am I marrying them? Their interests? I simply do not see.
#nia post#i will NOT become obsessed with another human person from the internet again#it also feels soooo slipery slope to meee#why should i follow them on insta? we arnt friends#yeah if i enjoy their preformance ill do that#its wierd to me when people go to panels and ask personal stuff. like. no! tell me about your acting process!#how did this job vary from stage/screen? fun set piece? favorite costume piece?#i think the more i see people get really really into celebrities and the way that affects them the more i stick my head in the sand#out of respect. yknow?#why should i care that... uhhh who's a celeb? natalie portman took her kid trick or treating or whatever the heck#i will do my solo part to end paparazzi as a consumer the same way i do with amazon.#anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk#ive been thinking about this for a while#i think esp bc i WAS like that. i did follow real people and speculate ln their real lives and wonder ehat they were like as a friend#and it makes me feel super squidgy now#i also want to do my part to end famous people culture where folks are famous for being famous. not for being good at their jobs

so sad polly will never see a merfolk celebration within the merkingdom itself. truly these are her people.
though, this also presumes they dont party too hard even for her, which is a very real risk with merfolk.
#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#miravi.txt#aka hi im doing caecilian things again#and specifically planning out how this is gonna Go Down a little further#merfolk really just. view having a shitload of holidays as free excuse to party#(very important to them you see. good for maintaining larger cultural relationships on top of interpersonal ones)#and they love going overboard with food for these celebrations#and music. and have bioluminescent bacteria and other things for lightshows.#and like being extremely over the top in every way#and this is the Biggest holiday within the merkingdom itself#miranda is going to be very depressed this entire time. but this does not apply to other merfolk#merfolk looooove overstimulation#and also have quite a lot of things that arent overstimulating for them but would be for landfolk#honestly it actually would end up being a very bad time for polly#theres a difference between being on the dancefloor and getting put inside a bass boosted speaker#and merfolk love the latter

After being introduced to movie audiences as part of the ensemble cast of The Outsiders, Ralph Macchio got his first starring role in 1984's The Karate Kid. It's a role, of course, that has defined his life. The success of the film and its sequels made Macchio a bona fide Hollywood star, though he would later complain that the role of Daniel LaRusso had made it difficult for him to get other roles as he grew older. Eventually, though, he softened his stance to the point that he welcomed a return to the role in Cobra Kai, the sequel series now in ts sixth (and final) season. We've spoken to Macchio many times over the years, and he told us that, despite the ups and downs he's had with the character, The Karate Kid has never left him.
Cobra Kai, including the first part of the final season, is currently streaming on Netflix.
