thinking about gorgug thistlespring, a barbarian half-orc raised by tinkerer gnomes, who tried to teach him that his anger was not a bad thing, that he was not a burden, that he should channel those negative emotions into something good and positive, like singing or making things, and so he did. he made friends, he learned the drums, he fought, he protected, he saved the world and met multiple who liked him for who he is.

thinking about gorgug thistlespring, a teenage boy with his first girlfriend, who was so devoted to protecting his friends that he made a mistake, he didn’t consider her feelings, so he fought so hard to make it right, he felt so guilty and so angry at himself so he built something just to be able to talk to her again. his parents taught him to channel his emotions and he realised he was just as good at creating as he was at raging. and even when the nightmare king’s forest threw his fears and insecurities in his face, he carried on, for his friends, because “its gorgug, keep going.”

thinking about gorgug thistlespring, an artificer-barbarian who figured out who he is, what he wanted, what he’s good at, who knows how to channel his anger into protecting and creating, to save the world and his friends, only to be told that he couldn’t do that, he couldn’t do what he wanted, his anger was for destruction, not for creating, not for putting his life on the line for his friends, that all the things his parents had taught him, all the things that he had learned while saving the world were wrong.

thinking about gorgug thistlespring.

Dude as a person whose fav egg was and still is Juanaflippa this is such a convoluted and heart wrenching situation I'm really not sure how to feel and I can't even think how Charlie feels. On one hand, just seeing Flippa here just moving and walking just takes you back to the good ol' days where everything was perfect and she was here backflipping and thriving. On the other hand, seeing this situation from Phil's side really made me realize how fucked up of a situation this is.

Blinded by the initial wave of grief and nostalgia we just ignored everything that was wrong about this. And now just seeing this fake copy being just a mere shell of what the real Flippa was makes me feel disdain for this copy trying to stand in the same shoes where our lil Juana stood. No matter the intentions or the interactions, she was never Juana and she could never be and no matter her attempts it still just hurts so goddamn much.

Okay, so here in Brazil, our voice actor for Wolverine had sadly passed away a few years ago, which had devastated a lot of people, because be was very loved. Everyone loved his work, his voice, the life he gave to Wolverine in our country. Even Hugh Jackman himself met him in a trip once and gave us condolences for his death.

Now, Isaac Bardavid had spent years voicing Wolverine, both in the movies and in a few other medias. So, when Deadpool 3 was announced, people were asking how we would deal with Wolverine. Like, who's going to voice him??

And A LOT of people had the audacity to suggest we use AI. To replicate Isaac's original voice. Like???????? The disrespect???

I saw the new trailer in Portuguese and the "new voice" for Wolverine is Luiz Feier Motta, who voiced Logan in X-Men Evolution here in Brazil. And he sounds different from Isaac. More gruff and deep. And, yeah, it's different from the voice we associate with Hugh Jacksman's face, but it's not bad. We're used to Luiz Feier's voice too. We used to watch him as Logan as kids.

And yet someone (I don't know who), a fan, still made a version of the Deadpool trailer using AI to replicate Issac's voice. It's just .... ???? I haven't even watched that video, and I won't because it's fucking surreal that someone would do it.

Even Isaac Bardavid's grandson said that his grandfather would think it was nice that a fan would miss him that much to try to use his voice to make the video. And yet he would also think it's shitty to do it.

I know people missed Isaac and his voice and his work, and maybe this fan had no bad intentions, just wanted to show other fans how it would be if we still had Isaac, but I also think it's disrespectful to do it. Using AI to replicate people's work, specifically someone who had passed away, is disrespectful. Haven't we learned nothing????

How delusional can people be saying he doesn't know who trump is. Pls as someone from Europe, and someone who frequents twitter you'll 100% know who tf trump is. And if he truly doesn't that actually makes it worse because how fucking ignorant can you be. It's not like trump isn't on the news (even in europe) at all. Like wether you want it or not stuff that goes down in America gets reported up and down here on the news. So either you're telling me he's so fucking ignorant that he hasn't even heard of a "president" from 2017. Or he knew who he was taking a picture with. And both options are arguably fucked on so many levels.

here's a little number i'm calling the audacity of jean grey. i have always vaguely not liked her in the movies and truth be told it's not even her fault. jean was at her most interesting when she wasn't attached to the bad love plots in my opinion.

anyway i have a hard time giving her a pass on the love triangle bullshit.

girlie was out there really not fully shutting down logan's advances on her when she was fully engaged to scott. they kept up the premise that she was giving logan just enough to keep him on the hook. she was flirting with an emotional affair with him and logan is very clearly a person starved for love and affection who is willing to take scraps because that's all he believes he deserves.

not that this absolves logan from being brazen as hell about his interest in her knowing she's in a committed relationship. like my guy you met 5 minutes ago calm down. but again he's starved for affection, attention and connection so him becoming attached so quickly despite his protests otherwise make sense. he was the same with rogue.

tl:dr i hated the love triangle nonsense in the movies. give me more plot less badly done messy romance bullshit.

is there any invader zim ships you like? it is a bit hard to find enjoyable ships in the fandom, since most of the popular ones are pretty gross. Tatr (tak and tenn) is a pretty interesting, underrated crackship that ive seen before, some pretty nice artpieces are out there!

hmmmmmmmm i like red x purple or RAPR (but i fucking hate the spelling of that) cuz they’re canon in my mind :3 those mfs are best friends to lovers that’s like my favorite trope ever PLUS they rule an entire nation together that’s insane to me (ignore that they’re tyrannical dictators)

everything else idk, i don’t mind a lot of shit. i dont rlly enjoy shipping zim with anyone (personally) bc i cant see him in anyyyy relationship but if i had to choose ships with him i don’t have much of a problem with, it would be him and tak, or him and skoodge lol (but canonically they obviously both have their issues on both sides)

as for what you said abt tak x tenn i do know abt that, i don’t have a problem with it! i just personally don’t ship it because i need some sort of basis for my ships or i’ll explode but thas just me maybe i should become more of a crackship fan ʅ(◞‿◟)ʃ

all in all, don’t care for invader zim ships very much LOL (and i’m usually an avid shipper but i just can’t bring myself to shorrehhh)! you’ll only ever catch me drawin tallest ship art :P as for friendship art IM CRAZY!!! I WANT EVERYONE TO BE FRIENDS!!!! call me chammy bru cuz i crackship but with friendships not romantic relationships THERE SHOULD BE A WORD FOR THAT!!! that’s me

Don't get me wrong I love Taylor but I find it unfair how Nick is belittled and put aside and never praised for what he deserves even about rwrb and sometimes it seems like he doesn't even exist to people when he is working so hard for his career

sksksksk no I'm sorry, normally I would have deleted it but it made me laugh too much because where the hell did this come from? no seriously on what basis did you think of such a thing? 😭 how can you say that Nick is ignored or not celebrated enough for his work when people talk about him everywhere and everyone follows him for everything and he was perhaps the most praised and considered for rwrb and everyone always talked about his skill in the film and in what he did for henry like... did you actually send this ask for a couple of posts/tweets going around about how important tzp is to the movie and some love rant about how much he cares about the movie? 😭 please and don't act as if in two weeks we won't have 7 episodes of his show and we will obviously talk about that and the promo and then the premiere of tioy and then the promo and then the release of tioy everything in two months... and for an event in his name and some content of Taylor you come to tell me that Nick is not considered or praised? Come on 😭 I'm sure you're better than this.

(Let's specify for the umpteenth time that it's not against Nick, we love Nick, this ask just made me laugh because it really seems a bit too much and it's absurd how hard they try every time there is something good for that man and people talk about him RIGHTLY without useless hatred on his side)

I get mom bloggers now

This post is literally me just gushing about my baby feel free to ignore (yes I am totally abusing my body just making sick ass dopamine when I look at him and am instinctually reminded that I made the tiny creature)

I have a 6 month old named Konrad.

Gonna be real I kinda forgot Warhammer 40k existed in the later half of my pregnancy as I'm more into Warhammer Fantasy. And also the name Konrad is a good strong name for a firstborn son.

But dear god I wanna post pictures of him and his cute little FACE.

I love my tiny Night Lord even when he pulls my hair really fuckin hard and pulls strands of my hair out. I still love the tiny Night Lord even if he screams and is currently going through a phase where he no longer wishes to sleep in his crib but only with/on mom or dad. And I certainly love the little velociraptor noises he makes when he is happy.

I think the reason why I want to post pictures of him is because of all of that dopamine I get when looking at him (which is kinda the point in making sure I continue to take care of him) but... I won't

Cuz this is not a mommy blog (nor will I even be a damn beige mom. We have a theme of dinosaurs and elephants goin on) and I get a lot of people who follow me are in their early 20s who do not wanna think about kids yet. Unlike myself whom is going to try and (if I can handle it) pump out 3 more little monsters before I hit 40 (hopefully before I hit 35)

Yeah thanks for everyone for forcibly coming to my ted talk. Just the whole being stuck at work till 10 pm really did a number on me and I feel like rambling about a lot of non Yandere Space Marines sort of topics

Before I say anything I just want to clarify I do not read the comics, I more a fan of DC animated works but I have noticed things. I'll probably very a series of posts on my various (probably dumb) opinions I'd like to take a moment (or more) looking at Jason Todd.

Oh, and a warning I guess. Ya know, Jason's backstory and all.

He's a pretty weird character and I don't mean that in a bad way. It's moreso his characterization and he history with recons (a topic I'll likely rant about in another post). For those who don't know Jason has two origins. One that basically makes him Dick Grayson 2.0 but a redhead with the Flying Todds and the one where he steals the bat-tires where they make him look more like Dick. Hrm.... While I haven't read anything from his run as Robin I can understand why readers at the time didn't like him. The first Robin was a hard act to follow.

That brings me to his time as Red Hood. He's really strange has Hood when it comes to writing. Jason goes from comically evil to morally grey anti-hero depending on the writer. I know pit madness is the excuse but that was a recon made outside of canon. (And at this point I don't know if it the writers or fan making it up.) Now the writers have him mostly chill with the Batfam. (Unless it's Gotham Wars and Bruce, I have so much to say about Bruce, the Batfam as well.)

Another thing I find funny about Jason Todd is his antis. I saw some talking about how he was conservative and pro gun propaganda which is... Something. My own personal beliefs aside Red Hood is absolutely not that. When he's using guns and killing criminals the story paints him as the bad guy. Although his stans aren't much better because they tend to downplay all the bad stuff he's done. Man has a kill count over 100 and has shot children (Damian). Not saying redemption isn't possible but still.

I hope this hasn't giving anyone the idea that I dislike Jason. I actually do like him. I think he works better as an anti-hero than outright villain but that's my opinion, it's not worth much.

I don't know tag this....

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

It makes me sad looking for nose refs and seeing half the results be rhinoplasty before and afters.

Your nose is fine! Don't let other people convince you to change something that didn't need changing.

Big noses, wide noses, hooked noses, crooked noses, all nose are all beautiful! Don't let anyone tell you other wise.

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

We have different priorities here clearly✨🤩

[anxiouslittlecarrot]

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited
