"being scottish isn't a personality trait why do you bring it up so much" have you considered that a) where you are born and raised can have a very big impact on who you are and how you speak and what you enjoy b) you are american and it's painfully obvious to everyone around you the second you open your mouth but you just don't see it that way because you assume yourself to be the standard default with no accent or culture. your americanness is just as pronounced as my scottishness and that's fine
#you know what it's my fault for going on tiktok#i found a comment thread where someone was saying they hate when people type in their scottish accent#and people in the replies were like yeah folk only do it to be hashtag different#which is slightly insane to me. sorry brother i just type like that because i speak like that#in fairness i don't do it very often and a lot of the time i do it as a joke#but it's so weird to me how uk and us media makes out that being scottish is a personality trait#when there's the Token Scottish Character and it Needs to be brought up every two seconds that they're scottish#but then when actual scottish people 'act scottish' (whatever that means) people don't like it#tldr suck my fat cock

Okay so, I like that Professor Rumpel is both Rumpelstiltskin and the miller's daughter-turned-queen, and that her weapon invokes the spindlewheel from the tale, but the guessing of the name is so utterly lazy that I could chew glass
Spoilers for Before the Dawn btw
It literally comes out of nowhere. There is no buildup to the mystery of Professor Rumpel's name; she just randomly says at the start of the fight that if Fox, Neptune, or Yatsuhashi can guess her name that she'll let them go chase the Crown
It would have been so easy, too! Just have it be Rumpel's game whenever the students want something. Late to class and don't want extra homework as punishment? Guess her name and you're free. Got caught getting handsy in an inconvenient spot? Guess her name and she'll let you off with a warning. Hell, have some of the staff lean into it for comedy and comradery
This would naturally set up why Rumpel would offer an easy out to the fight and establish how steep a demand that is for our heroes. If no one's guessed her name in the many years she's been at Shade, what hope do they have of figuring it out in the next five minutes?
But, no. We get zero setup and the payoff doesn't even land! They guess her name and Rumpel attacks Neptune anyway. Right in front of the whole school, including Headmaster Theodore! In what world does that make sense? I get that she's desperate, but it feels contrived so Yastuhashi can do his thing and accidentally break the mind control
These books honestly read like a first draft of a story that really could've been something if more time and attention had been given. Rwby in a nutshell, eh?
#rwde#i am so glad that im using audiobooks and pdfs to read this shit#trees don't deserve this kind of punishment#another major gripe i have is how utterly useless theo is. he's written to be a 40yo frat boy that only pretends to know what hes doing#real 'how do you do fellow kids' energy#real swell to have your female deputy headmaster do all the real work while you goof off doing jack shit#hashtag feminism amiright ladies#seriously why are all the hms men w female second in commands (minus leo)? why not cut theo out and have rumple from the start?#it makes way more sense. gets rid of the bloat. and furthers the sense of danger bc that's a HEADMASTER. the best of the best!!#and it would eliminate my frustration of theo not acknowledging his 2nd is acting off. dude has 0 perception. useless knob#hell it could add some foreshadowing too! have some of the other staff comment the hm hasnt been the same since the wasteland!#they could write her uncharacteristic harshness towards the students as a trauma response to that mission#which AGAIN heightens the sense of danger when coco and her lot get sent on an extended mission there#god just let me edit your shit crwby!!! i could hammer out a coherent volume script in like two days just gimme a chance!!!

I do miss the name david :/
#I got rid of it bc my family really hated it#the ironic thing is they hate james more bc of who they associate it with#but I'd already chosen it as my middle name and when I stopped going by ari I just started using my middle name#and there wasn't anything they could do abt it at that point like it's legally my name#but I did like David a lot I still think I'd love to name a kid David or Benjamin if I ever have kids#don't know a lot of girl names but maybe it'll be a girl David hashtag girl slay

That's not really an opinion more of a preference but I don't really have any ground breaking opinions I think so let's pretend ok
OH um!! Opinion I think 125% zoom shouldn't be the default zoom because that's literally huge which like I know it's different bur I'm special pleadingface the world has to revolve around me. Alsoalso I hate hate hate that TouchPad thing where sometimes if you touch it it'll stay touched except it's so weird!!! Unpredictable n such..

Granola bars. So it's gonna be fun.#Ermmm these aren't really thoughts more an account of my life I suppose#It was snowing like? Yesterday. Absolutely huge snowflakes made me so happy#I was TOO tired today apparently and i talked a lot (BAD !!) absolutely horrendous. Not an articulate individual when tired.#it's ok though nothing can damage my upstanding reputation 👊👊 everyone loves me (<- lying)#been really sleepy lately but also havennr really been eating latelyso going 2 try n fix that#ALSO NEED A MUG ! Like i have one except SOMEONE likes to use it all the time (there's several others)#but like. That's the only one that feels nice yk#the design is nice on the eyes AND the shape is really nice. What more do you need in a mug#now i juust need to start drinking coffee or somethibg.

someone talking about the ways media and common tropes/depictions of things that are either explicitly or implicitly linked to marginalized people are demonized and presented badly is not a fucking opportunity for you to flex how you're doing it Differently And Better

ANYWAY
one of them told me about her boyfriend (which was like ??!! for me) and the way she went about it was:

i just had subway and two things, one. i fucking love tuna and 2. that churro is a crime against humanity and they should be sued for selling something that bad
#chatterye#it was so gross jesus#but my tuna sandwich was banger i love tuna#actually here's my favorite way to make tuna salad#korean tuna <- aka tuna that's in oil and not water. does it matter? maybe maybe not but that;s what i prefer#pickles <- i actually despise pickles BUT it's good when it's in tuna salad and i really don't put in a lot because i still hate thme but i#is a nice contrast with the tuna. i also want to say that celery does not cut it. not the right flavor. also i hate celery in anything othe#than chicken salad#mayo <- obvious but yeah a lot of mayo; i use and prefer american mayo to kewpie but preferences#soy sauce!!!!!! <- secret (not really) ingredient to making a really good tuna salad. it's really good. you don't need to add a lot but it#makes it like 1309r829309 times better it's a necessity NOT optional#corn <- i add corn for texture and because i like corn! you do not need to add it to make this yummy but it is yummy!#the end! it's good w crackers or it is fantastic in triangle kimbap/onigiri!#i would eat tuna every day if i could but unfortunately they're apex predators and biomagnification is not a joke#this is such a random tangent to have in my tags#actually i saw an instagram comment that was like why the fuck do they use hashtags like that on tumblr#just add it to the fucking post that's not how hashtags work#and like first of all. we call 'em tags 'round here#second of all. it is tumblr culture#like subtweeting or whatever#my tags are always like one degree away from relating to the post ykwim#also i was born to yap leave me be#anyways subway's churros are so fucking gross

God my knee is actually killing me Still. What the FUCK. If this is actually unironically from the fire alarm yesterday I'm going to lose my shit. I still had the cane. It was like 50 meters at most. I walk around my dorm room without the brace and it doesn't do this (granted the dorm room is like. 12x6 feet but still). Yes it was cold and yes I'm not Supposed to walk around without the brace but I didn't exactly have time to stop and think about putting it on and even if I Had, I genuinely did not think it would cause this much fucking pain.
#I knew my knees were literally medically Built Wrong but godDAMN dude#like the anxious part of my brain is fully 100% serious abt sleeping in my brace from now on in case it happens again#(I know that's a dumb thing and dramatic and unnecessary. however ur talking to the guy who did not sit down for 4 months straight in#4th grade because he wanted to b able to evacuate quickly if there was a fire drill. I have Hashtag Issues /lh)#and it's like. I USED to be fine. I walked around and ran and jumped and played and all that shit as a kid.#yes my knees would randomly give out and yes I was in some sort of pain a lot of the time.#But it was not this bad and not from something so seemingly small as a block and a half#idk dude I just don't get it#armchair speaks#actually disabled

idk man a lot of male mangaka just come across as the biggest creeps in the world, I mean in addition to the actual creeps like the guy who made RRK or even the One Piece guy who draws all his female characters the same and makes them so "sexy" it's ridiculous and kinda gross
and then no I don't really appreciate when a series has hot guys to appeal to the female demographic and pull in more sales, only for irl guys to berate this like most of these manga aren't already full to bursting with offensive over-sexualized caricatures of girls and women; idk that seems to be the trend here, examine what nerd dudes are complaining about, and it's usually "oh it doesn't appeal to me personally, why am I not being catered to, this offends me on a personal level" like grow tf up
#this kind of thing peaked me a few years ago#I used to be kind of a pickme to be quite honest#but actually researching what was making fandom guys upset made me realize they're a bunch of babies lmao#hashtag not all of course#but enough#idk I am a fan of a lot of stuff but also fandom is kind of a waste of time#and if you're spending all this time getting bent out of shape over inconsequential stuff idk what to tell you#just stop consuming or trying to like move on lmao#I have the same opinion about some fantasy fandoms lmao#I assure you no piece of media is too sacred to die on a hill for lmao#go do something with your life#it's also the same when these dudes are complaining about “ugly” female characters like who gives af#direct your eyes elsewhere then! stop complaining! I don't get this!

ATTENTION DEAD BOYS FANDOM:
We have some unfinished business and a case to solve: The Case of the Curious Cancellation! 💀🔎
Here are the ways you can help (be sure to read until the end).
I'm not sure how many people here on Tumblr are also over on DBDA Twitter, but there have been MANY developments in the last 24 hours and it's important for all of us to be on the same page if we're going to have a chance in hell of saving our show.
First and foremost, we need to get Dead Boy Detectives in the Netflix Top 10 again. This means running it as much as possible. Read about that below:
(SOURCE x)
As the graphic says, the goal is to have it running on a loop constantly, as much as you physically can. Be sure to have some level of volume on or else it won't count. If you're on Twitter be sure to post your rewatch (photos of your tv, commentary, etc.) with the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives !!!
Also, there's no better time to do this: the Tweet below brings up a great point! 👍
(SOURCE x)
Second, and easiest thing: KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW AND CREATING CONTENT ABOUT THE SHOW. Analysis, fics, fanart, shitposts, gif sets, memes, tik tok videos, so on - do not stop! Reblog other people's stuff and talk about it! Give fics kudos, comment, make fic rec lists and post that WIP or sketch! The most important thing to remember is to TAG YOUR POSTS AND CREATIONS. We need to trend!!! On Tumblr make sure you continue tagging your posts as you probably already are (look at my tags on this post if you need help, and remember not to use "DBD" on here because that is another fandom! We use DBDA here). On Twitter you want to use the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives for the rewatch and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives is a popular one, too. You can also use #DeadBoyDetectives. Hell, I usually use all three if I can! Hashtag every post you make about Dead Boys, no matter how annoying or "cringe" you may feel. Flood the fucking tag and do not stop.
Third, everyone needs to sign and keep circulating the petition. We've surpassed 5,000 signatures in a day which is fantastic, but we need more. Get everyone you know to sign it; tell them it takes no more than 15 seconds. Be annoying until they do it just to shut you up.
Fourth, request "Dead Boy Detectives Season 2" through Netflix's support website. It's a small thing but if we all do this a couple times a day it will get their attention. They really do vet these suggestions, and an influx of requests for a canceled show will raise eyebrows.
Lastly, if you decide to write Netflix (via email or a letter - their office address has been floating around) please remember to stay concise and professional. Don't curse at them, don't call names. State that you are disappointed with the cancellation of the show, maybe add an anecdote about what it meant to you, and I would even recommend attaching some articles that emphasize people's displeasure with the platform abandoning shows on a whim and Netflix's flippant attitude toward queer shows in particular. Dead Boy Detective Agency on Twitter has retweeted every article on this topic so far, you can find their page here.
You can also use graphics such as the ones below to affirm that the cancellation was unjust.
(Source 1, Source 2)
I know this feels like a lot: know your limits and take care of yourself. Whether you do every single one of these things or just a few of these things, every llittle bit helps!
Even in the worst case scenario where nothing changes, this gesture will mean so much to everyone who made this show. We owe it to the writers, cast, crew, and each other to TRY. We can all agree that this show deserves at least another season and if Netflix isn't going to do it, they need to be open to selling it to someone who will. We cannot keep allowing them to axe these queer and diverse shows with little regard for their customers and their employees, but also because it sets a harmful standard in the industry that is destroying television.
Let's crack this case and bring our agency back! I truly believe in this community!! 💜 We can do this!!
If there are any spelling errors or issues with links let me know! I did this on mobile because I want to mobilize this information as quickly as possible! I'll be adding on to this with new developments and can answer any questions you all might have. Lets save our show!
#dead boy detectives#dbda#the dead boy detectives#revive dead boy detectives#renew dead boy detectives#save dead boy detectives#dead boy detectives netflix#dead boy detective agency#the dead boy detective agency#dbda netflix#charles rowland#edwin payne#crystal palace#niko sasaki#steve yockey#beth schwartz#jayden revri#george rexstrew#kassius nelson#yuyu kitamura

how to keep following people when a major social platform implodes
(...and you don't want to join 20 new websites)
First, get an RSS reader*-- here are some free options:
Desktop: Feedbro (browser extension), Fraidycat** (browser extension/web), Thunderbird, Dreamwidth (web)
Android: Feeder
iOS/Mac: NetNewsWire
You'll be able to make a custom feed to follow blogs, webcomics, social media feeds, podcasts, news, and other stuff on the web all in one place. To follow something, find its "feed URL"-- often marked by an icon that looks like this ↓-- and paste it into your reader of choice as a new feed.
Some feed URLs for social media/other sites:
Tumblr: Use username.tumblr.com/rss or username.tumblr.com/tagged/my%20art/rss to follow a blog's "my art" tag (as an example)
Cohost: Use username.cohost.org/rss/public
Mastodon: Use instance.url/@username.rss
Deviantart: Info here
Spacehey: Info here
Youtube: Go to a channel in a web browser, view page source, and use Ctrl-F/Command-F to find a link that starts with "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id="
Reddit: Info here
Lemmy: At the top of a community's main page, there's a small RSS link next to where you sort posts/comments.
Some additions thanks to @innumerablewounds:
Dreamwidth: https://username.dreamwidth.org/rss (users can opt out of this).
Ao3: Tags have an "RSS Feed" button.
Bluesky: Add /rss to the end of a URL.
Neocities: https://neocities.org/site/username.rss
Sites that won't work all that great:
Twitter: Feedbro and Fraidycat** may be able to use Twitter profile URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, use nitter.net/username/rss (or other Nitter instance) Public Nitter instances are dead/dying, and Twitter is now very hostile to pretty much anything that makes it easy to generate an RSS feed. For popular accounts, try this workaround using Google News...?
Instagram: Feedbro may be able to use Instagram profile and hashtag URLs as feed URLs. Check Feedbro's "scan interval" setting-- you could be rate limited or temporarily IP banned from Instagram if it makes requests too often!
Facebook: Feedbro may be able to use public Facebook group/page URLs as feed URLs, but see the warnings for Instagram.
Threads: Come on.
Also see how to find the RSS feed URL for almost any site. Try using public RSS-Bridge instances or Happyou Final Scraper to generate feeds for sites that don't have them (Pillowfort, Patreon, etc).
*You can set up your subscriptions in one reader and import them into another by exporting an OPML file.
**Fraidycat's intended use is following a lot of people across different sites, so it's well-suited for this post and I'd recommend keeping an eye on it-- but I didn't recommend it initially because I had some issues with it, and it hasn't been updated in a while. The last time I used it, it didn't have a setting to change how often it makes requests to websites, causing me to get IP banned from Twitter and Instagram...
