#for absolutely petty reasons

[biarritzzz]

Tumblr idiots who were loudly denouncing the Queen of England for imaginary crimes last year sure are silent this time around about the Kingdom of Morocco and its awful king. Priorities of the PC police always on point.

Constitutional European monarchies = evil

Authoritarian monarchies everywhere else = beautiful, how dare you criticize them evil colonialist

Things in Sherlock and co that make me get weird looks on the tube because I can’t contain myself

Lots of love, Sherlock Holmes

Who is called Jonk??

No shit Sherlock

The bag for life debacle

“Lestrade has very kindly sent these on. What she lacks in intelligence and any discernable talent required to be an officer, she’d makes up for in kindness” “She sent these to you for your birthday” “I suspect for two reasons. First, the case makes very little sense to Scotland Yard which isn’t surprising, and second, yes, for my birthday”

i think everyone in this fandom is too damn serious about all the wrong things. its always "if you have written jmart smut you are acephobic and i hope you die" or "if you don't like georgie you are a misogynist" (/exaggeration, /neu). can we talk about how robert smirke apparently had visions or something. please. we never fucking talk about that why the hell did they make rpf of robert smirke and blast him with the prophecy beam

also if you're proudly saying shit like "errrrrrrm anyway i'm going back to starbucks!! 😋" because you think pro-palestinian activists cost Kamala the election then I genuinely hope you spend the rest of the day curled over on the toilet shitting your brains out.

To be petty on this first day of pride… all those buddie shippers who were so outraged that BuckTommy got more fics more quickly than a canon queer couple (HenRen) are just as upset now that a fanon queer ship is trending over that same canon queer couple ( HenRen), right?

wash tormenting the reds in the most petty ways possible because he's still pissed off about them hitting him with a car and then blowing him up in s8 is so important to me you don't even understand

Would you be willing to explain why you don't like insurgence and xenoberse? I also keep seeing them recommended, but I'm currently playing uranium.

insurgence seems to be an over the top edgy game that's just super not in my wheelhouse

xenoverse because i did play through that one and its just. so goddamn lackluster. the plot and gameplay was constantly pissing me off 😭 though i think my main issue was that i was pretty excited going into the game because i watched as several people overhyped it, calling the story fantastic and the best thing ever and then i played it and it was just... not.

it was ALRIGHT. i guess. but eurgh. my biggest issue is the other playable character (that you don't choose) only showing up like a handful of times (i think literally can be counted on one goddamn hand) and is heavily shoving a romance in your face from the moment you meet them. which whatever, ok, sure. except. if you choose to play as a girl, the boy option, LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE YOUR DAD. and it just made the whole thing SUPER uncomfortable to me to the point i had to restart the whole game over to choose to be a boy instead because at least the girl doesn't look like either parent even though i still very much hated the whole forced romance crush thing. but hey. at least it didn't feel like i was being flirted on by a younger version of your dad 😭

also the gameplay itself was just. really felt like it was all glitter and hype and then felt like ass trying to actually play and make sense of from a plot perspective

and then my next gripe is your dad and this one is end of game spoiler territory

the game is focused on finding your dad who got kidnapped at the beginning of the game (10 years ago) except oops! nope! he's the leader of the villain gang! also he's SILVER FROM THE CANON SERIES (with your mom being leaf!)

and him being the leader of the big bads just. GOES AGAINST HIS WHOLE CHARACTER?? hello. hello. hello. i still had the whole elite 4 or whatever post game there was but finding out it was silver just. made me stop playing it pissed me off soooooo much

Looking a bit more into the Dinaledi story, looks like the team excavating the site is vehemently defending that Homo Naledi did ritualistic burials, and it's a big deal because it challenges the idea of "human exceptionalism" and I understand that that's a big sticking point for Religious ReasonsTM, but oh my God, I personally find the idea so so so so ssssoooo stupid

Like, who CARES if humans aren't the only ones to do X? Or do Y? Who cares if humans are not nature's most special-est little guys? I can't imagine being so invested in wanting humans to be UNIQUE(TM). I for one would fucking love if we had evolved on a planet where we weren't the only fully sentient species. Can you imagine the kind of comparative studies we could do if there was even one other species as intelligent as us??

I aced my thesis defence with merits and I WILL TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT (once i had my little rest) tm

Honestly the fact Jason resembles his mother than his father could also be why said father doesn't like him.

Because it was the first time a mortal swayed him and got him to stay.

Not the other way round.

Heyoo! I just want to ask ya something. Wukong was a souless/bad guy in the book? Or he had feelings too? Sorry if this spunds really ignorant, i'm new here and i still haven't read the book

Wukong was never a souless bad guy. He can be very violent but that's only when demons and gods would spite him. If someone hits him, he hits them back harder. He has a tendency to retaliate brutality but there are times he can be merciful too. It really depends on the situation and how wronged he feels. Of course, he has feelings as well! He loves his monkeys and Huagoshan and if anyone messes with them he'll make sure to smash anyone into meat patties! Sun Wukong is a very complex character with his own goals as well. He's not just some "haha chaos impulsive monkey". He's far more calculated than people give him credit for. There's a reason he's called the "intelligent stone monkey."

Listening to some of Vegetta's old VODs while wrapping up some meta (got sidetracked tracking down a very specific timestamp for two hour) and dear god I forgot how high maintenance he is. World's most passive-aggressive, proud bordering on arrogant, dramatic demigod / semi-god who would rather carry a grudge for the rest of his life than dare communicate that his feelings were hurt. I love him so much.

"you can't put alicent in a mother's day asoiaf comp because she's not a good mother and that's okay :)" but you have no problem with cersei fucking lannister in it when half her affc chapters are just about how abysmally she fails as a mother to her children so i think you're just a cunt

Elias/Jonah literally repulses me with the level of evil and banality he is.

Not to say he’s a bad villain—no! Opposite. He is actively one of the most effective villains I have ever encountered.

Because he is so fucking stock—so awful and lacking in personality beyond “must be evil just for the hell of it”—that I can’t even enjoy him like most of my trash goblin villains.

Because he’s like “oh I doomed billions to an eternity of torture so I’ll never die”

Except it doesn’t even work and he admitted deep down he knew it wouldn’t from the start

So he condemned everyone not to an eternity of torture for immorality and ultimate power

He simply condemned everyone to eons and eons of torture for nothing

Absolutely. No. Fucking. Reason.

Except to be a pawn in the Spider’s plan to let themselves out of our universe

He was neither “all powerful” nor deathless and was never going to be

His actions were ultimately as pointless as they were always going to be in THE END.
