I'm gonna say it! The thing that made me grumpiest about wtnv fandom back in the day was the belief that Cecil buys into the propaganda! He does NOT! This man is looking you dead in the eyes and saying "do not look at the mountains. The government denies ALL EXISTENCE of such mountains. The mountains are not real." You think he gets sent to re-education every six weeks for FUN?! He is a journalist frantically trying to get around censorship! The government would like to strangle him for talking about this! COME ON!
#welcome to night vale#Throws this into the room like a hand grenade and flees#cecil gershwin palmer#Maybe it was just the circles I was in?#That man did not drink the kool-aid though what#I'd have to re-listen but a hell of a lot of what he said was not meant to be taken for his actual beliefs imo#he was parodying the model citizen to abide by the letter of the law to continue to be allowed on air#Grump grump

It's fucking weird how rude people are about immigration sometimes. And I don't just mean bigots being biased and stuff. I mean that, on a REGULAR basis, people ask me if I'm thinking about "going back to the US". And I'm just like... no? What do you mean "back to the US"? I live in Germany. I LIVE IN GERMANY.
I literally fucking started learning German and obsessing on German culture in high school, then I went to college in the US and majored in German Studies, including two study-abroad programs in Germany, then I moved to Germany for grad school and lived there for three years and worked in various German-speaking jobs while studying, then I had to temporarily return to the US but found a German-translation-based job at the US branch of a German company, and made a bunch of German or at least German-speaking friends in my new US city, and then a few years later I was able to move back to Germany, where I got a work visa sponsored by my employer and a full-time salaried job, and after a few more years I acquired my permanent residency, and soon I'll be applying for citizenship.
And people still sometimes ask me whether I'm considering "going back to the US". Like... dude? Would you ask a Mexican living in the US about their plans for "going back to Mexico"? That is rude as fuck.
Immigration is fucking hard. Why on earth would I have gone through all this shit just to throw it up in the air like "Oh well, never mind!"
#i'm sorry but this honestly makes me rage#why do so many people take my commitment to this country and culture so unseriously?#i have learned the language#i have worked here in the same full-time job for six years now#ffs my number-one most played musical artist on last.fm of ALL TIME is a german-language band#(four of my top ten most-played artists are german-language musicians for that matter)#is it because i'm white and upper-middle-class#so i come across as one of those irritating globe-hopping laptop-working culturally oblivious 'expat' types?#I AM NOT A FUCKING EXPAT#I AM AN IMMIGRANT#i have moved to a different country and i am not very financially well off and i am humbly grateful to live here#and i have learned the damn language (yes that's worth repeating) and am not interested in jumping from brazil to thailand to spain to etc.#cosmo gyres#tag rant#grump grump#god this shit drives me up the wall

Can Pia please come and run my life? Look at her! So competent. Rawr.
Goddamit Boss! Look at what you did to Tul. Now he thinks you were faking your interest. You made a very sexy man think he is not sexy!
Speaking of sexy...
These two are so damn cute
and I just love their aesthetics together.
You know, I just can't say enough for Tinn's portrayal of Tul. We've gotten zero backstory, but the way his pain is just seeping through as he talks to Boss...
This is a man who has such a core of loyalty, yet you can tell he has been abandoned before and thinks himself unworthy of love. And despite his resistance to Boss' flirting, he was clearly weakening, and starting to feel wanted.
I'm also 100% on Tul's side here. Regret and apologies are a good start, but people have to show they are sorry via action & behaviors or it means nothing. Get to work Boss! Gotta prove that love! Tul deserves it.
Hmm, interesting that they're giving us backstory on Kenji.
So presumably the psychopath was always underneath, and came out once he had a bit of power... definitely a big contrast to Tul, and how despite having reasons to be loyal to Tew, Kenji only sees him as competition.
Oh ffs Tew. You're a gangster, and you didn't make sure he was dead?!
Also Wahl is being super sus here. I do not trust.
Hmm, Wahl, almost like the two you DON'T ALIGN!?!
Oh goddamit, this is one of the tropes I hate the most!
Blerg. Love in Translation did this too. I loathe the "I'm going to fake being an asshole who doesn't love you to protect you" bullshit, because 1) it never fucking works to actually protect the person, and 2) if you were honest and talked it all over with your allies you could actually come up with a decent plan to deal with your problem.
Oh, goddamit Boss!
I'm not going to get super mad here, because abuse dynamics are complicated and I get that Boss has been Kenji's victim for a while. But I'm still annoyed on Tul's behalf. That man deserves someone who will fight for him.
Also, dammit Wahl! I was so close to giving him some credit for acting like an actual friend.
and then you had to start moving in for the kiss. You don't do that when your friend is vulnerable, you little shit!
Guy needs to just go hang out with the gaming crew, screw both Wahl & Tew. Poor innocent little muffin. He just wants to love and be loved.
#my dear gangster oppa#why so many bad decisions this episode#grump grump#Tul is still my perfect baby though

unfortunately i am incredibly grumpy and i cannot grump to anybody bc my usual options are a) inadvertently the cause of my grump in a circuitous way and also ill and b) more directly the cause of my grump by texting me a stressful cliffhanger text and then not texting me back despite me asking not to text like that
so instead i’ll be grumpy to strangers on the internet

Like... I'm sorry, is it just me, or is this the most ridiculously convoluted way to explain the concept of "HEAD" that has ever been seen?
(regarding this)
#this is that 'learn git' game from a couple posts earlier on my blog#i don't remember how i originally learnt the concepts of 'head' and 'main/master' but i do recall it was some way that made sense#which this... does not (to me)#grump grump#'HEAD was hiding underneath our main branch' whatttt? just what?#head IS the main branch at that moment#why... why would you make it so much more complex than it needs to be by using weird phrasing like 'hiding underneath'?

I've seen posts going around claiming that petting animals is basically tricking them into thinking they're being groomed, and it's bugging me because, like, there's no trickery afoot. Petting and scritching are grooming activities. They help to dislodge loose fur and foreign objects and more evenly distribute protective oils, among other things. Primates are social groomers, and the human impulse to scritch is the legacy of our primate ancestors. We see an animal we like, even a dangerous one, and the monkey brain says "groom that thing".

it’s the boss’s fault for understaffing their workplace and for failing to anticipate and schedule for periods that need more labor.
if your boss can’t staff your workplace well enough to handle their employees taking their breaks, vacations, and sick days, your boss fully sucks at their job. and should be shamed for it. if your boss can’t even anticipate and properly schedule enough workers for busy periods, to the point they’re playing the blame game with employees who don’t want to be called back to work at short notice for unscheduled overtime, your boss is the one who fucked up their job here. and you and your coworkers should let them know.
An employer might try a particularly nasty trick I like to call "class hostaging". It works like this. Suppose they ask you to come in for an extra shift. Suppose you don't want to do it, so you decline. Now comes the trick: the employer says, "But what about your coworkers? If you don't come in, they'll be so stressed out. We're already behind, you need to be a team player!" And if they're good at it, and especially if they drink their own kool-aid, they might be able to seriously sell it and play with your emotions. And they'll especially do this if you say you want to quit, if they don't have anything tangible they can threaten you with or a financial reason to entice you to stay.
Don't fall for this! You know your coworkers. You know this has happened to you before - is it anything less than admirable when one of your coworkers has the courage to walk off from a shitty job? Even if it does mean that your boss makes you work harder to make up for it? Remember: your boss is not your friend. You are a means to an end for the business. Don't let your boss make a hostage of your coworkers like that.

I am so bad at singing. I sang a little too intensely today and fucked myself up so bad by doing so that my throat is still aching, hours later. My neck feels hot when I touch it, and even when I drink warm tea or eat cold ice cream, nothing soothes the pain. And because my nose and throat and ears are all weirdly linked together, my ears feel very blocked now too and I keep swallowing to try to unblock them, but it doesn't work. ARGH

Ugh. I hate anger.
Time to clean to channel this energy somewhere
No spoons for cleaning
But my body can't afford to hold anything else right now
I have to force process as much as I can

scenarios for that grump x sunshine dynamic
a prompt list by @novelbear ᵔᴥᵔ
letting their chatty partner ramble about their day, listening with a small smile
sunshine toppling over them with the biggest hug they could muster and grump just giving them tiny little pats to reciprocate
grumpy going out of their comfort zone to cheer up their sunshine who's having a bad day
^ "look, i made pancakes! i even made a smiley face out of the whipped cream, see?" "oh, that's what it's supposed to be? you're so cute.."
grumpy calling sunshine names (dummy, idiot, chatterbox) knowing they take no offense to them, but the moment someone else does, they snap
"are you always this happy?" "i try to be, but especially when i'm with you."
sunshine knowing when it's okay to push but never crosses a line when it comes to grumpy's boundaries
sunshine comforting the grump when they're a little more quiet and snappy than usual, leaving grump a flustered mess because they're used to people actually listening when they tell them to leave them alone
"i'm not leaving you like this, i care about you."
sunshine taking grumpy on more active dates than they're used to (like ice skating for example)
[while cloudgazing] "i see a duckling!" "literally how."
sunshine making lunch for grumpy in the cutest way possible (little notes, heart-shaped sandwiches, always adding their fave snack)
getting into arguments about how nice sunshine can be and where it gets out of hand
^ "i was just trying to be nice!" "they were clearly taking advantage of that!" "since when do you care so much?" "i'm trying to look out for you!"
grumpy letting sunshine play with/do their hair
when laundry piles up and grumpy has no choice but to borrow one of sunshine's colorful little sweaters
^ and of course, sunshine coos and smothers them all day over it
"i love you." "i know." "say it back!"

There was a post circulating around recently. It's two photos of the same man, one is captioned "butch" and the other "femme". "Butch" is of the guy in a dark suit, arms crossed and expression stern. "Femme" is of the guy with a white suit and open, friendly expression with his arms open.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
I'm...really tired of watching people assume behavior+clothing color is masculine or feminine. It's the exact same framework that leads people to mock men who express emotion as 'fairies' or women with closed off body language as 'frigid'. Most of the people reblogging the post aren't assigning terms like those, of course, but I think we would be better off just...not gendering behavior.
#It feels like modern...idk what to call them#Social media lefties?#Are just picking up a really strict framework of male/female from several decades ago#And taking the biology out of it but still keeping the behaviors/how we read behaviors#Not to mention a wild amount of...homophobic and sexist rhetoric that's couched in 'reclaiming' and 'being ironic'#It's funny I saw the same thing 15-17 years ago with people talking about Nazis online and look where we are now#Grump grump#I'm not responding to the post because this isn't really intended to scold that specific person#Just highlight a trend
