Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

#tiktok ban #xiaohongshu #the great tiktok migration of 2025 #us politics #us government #scotus #ftr tiktok is owned primarily by private investors and is not operated out of china #and all us data is stored on servers here in the us #tiktok also employs 7000 us employees to maintain the US side of operations #like they’re just lying to get us to shut up about genocide and corruption #so fuck it we’ll go spill all the tea to ears that wanna hear it cause this country is not what its cracked up to be #we been lied to and the rest of the world has been lied to #if scotus bans it tomorrow i can’t wait for their finding out #rednote

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.

#idk what to tag this #worldbuilding #writing fiction #historical fiction #fantasy #a real-life example: my dad (a pediatrician) was once entrusted with the care of a baby who was born with a rare condition #this was in a place without great hospital/medical access and anyway they were going to fly the baby over #and he specifically asked them to bring the mother and baby #they show up with baby and...the baby's uncle #and he was like. y'all. do you think I asked for the mom to come just for fun??? We don't have formula here. what is the baby going to eat?

Council of lovefools.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #They don't have an actual sleepover in this scene but the vibes were so sleepover coded...I had to get them cozied up.#Late night talks with friends and family are some of the best conversations.#My siblings and I used to have room sleepovers with each other (Actually an excuse to stay up and talk about runescape)#Currently my flatmates and I also have really great heart to hearts late into the night.#Pondering shit like 'What defines confidence?“ and ”Why are people terrified of letting themselves fall in love?"#All that aside; There is a really great conversation between JC and WWX here. They are so close and yet so far way from each other!#Fundamentally they *agree* about many things - but JC now has to play the role of someone more 'mature'.#His temper is reigned in and he had to take a more nuanced approach. Whereas WWX can be far more reactionary.#JC has changed to become someone more mature (or at least he is trying).#Contrast this attitude with the scene *right* after where WWX literally goes baby mode with JYL. Rolling around going “I'm Fwee years old”.#When children are hurt we comfort them with hugs and warm food and a laugh. It's not enough when you're an adult. It's not simple anymore.#WWX is stuck in the past when everyone else is shifting and moving on! It's a depression allegory (and just...actual depression)#But we also get to see how some things have stayed the same. They still bicker about soup. They still tease. They are still together.#They all care for each other very much but they are struggling against trauma and are not equipped to talk about it.#You can't really blame WWX for being so protective over JYL. But JC is right: “You don't have a say in who she likes.”#It may have started as an arranged marriage but *she* is *choosing* what her heart wants. JC sees that. WWX cannot.#The final act of love is letting go after all.

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

#i do think that this pit of anger was eventually covered and soothed by the ponds #but he didn't adress it and he couldn't even look at it until he was twelve #when he stopped pushing back and repressing everything and finally allowed himself to exist as he was #but ok listen #its all layed out in the first 3 episodes of season 5 and in the way amy sees him #episode 1. here is the new doctor he is energetic and reeling and fun #episode 2. the space whale comparison. here is the new doctor. he is unthinkably ancient and almost godlike but he is so so kind #and patient and good. he is ancient and lonely but he can't stand to see children cry. so the doctor helps people #episode 3. daleks. the doctor is a soldier. these are his age old enemies. he wants them dead and he will stop at nothing #all logic and reason vanish. he is hitting the dalek with a pipe and yelling his head off while amy watches in horror #like obviously we know why but amy didnt #this is not a sane or rational man he is unstable and angry #and in that episode he was stripped back to what he largely is: hate #you would make a good dalek ect ect ect #anyway 3 episodes with 3 very distinct and equally definitely traits layed out like: here you go #i don't like elevens era much but those first 3 episodes were great #doctor who #eleven #amy #eleventh doctor #matt smith #dr who #dw #i mean idk this is what river literally had to spell out for him #eleven was careening completely out of control #how long til doctor means warrior indeed?#mine

#pikachu #anime #sniffer #here we are with a very nice combination angle #something i would consider both an anime and a sniffer #pikachu is also simultaneously overrated and underrated at the same time #like okay. pikachu is so easy to just see as the pokémon mascot. i think there's a lot of arguments that pikachu is overrated #just because it's the mascot and you see it everywhere. but here's the thing. here's the trick to liking pikachu more #have or know of a really good pikachu OC that you think of every time you see pikachu. for example‚ a pmd character #they're easy examples bc pikachu is playable in every pmd game. then‚ you'll always associate pikachu with that pokémon #and every time you see pikachu‚ you go. holy shit. it's [name of character]#and you start to like it way more. that's what i did. it worked for me #now i love pikachu and i think it's great. every time i get something with pikachu on it because that's 99% of the pokémon merch #that exists on the planet‚ i go. hehe. it is merch of The Character

i think what is really attractive to me about astarion’s character is that he balances his feminine/masculine traits so well.

like he can be pretty feminine with how he expresses himself (flamboyant, vain, showy) but he’s intrinsically masculine in a lot of aspects (his desires to pursue, protect, provide) and that was sooo surprising to me because usually it’s very black or white with that kind of thing— you typically get characters that are wholly masculine/feminine (or very heavily leaning on one side), not a mix of both (especially not in a man).

it just makes him feel much more alive and not so one-dimensional. it’s really a disservice to try to force him into a box by depicting him as only one or the other. let him be a silly little peacock man in peace

#for me personally it makes him so much more relatable bcz i am the same way just opposite (outwardly masculine inwardly feminine)#i remember when i first saw clips of him i rolled my eyes SOOO hard bcz i was like great here we go another little bitch boy 🙄#but he really genuinely surprised me lol in the best way #he is fr the ‘masculine in a peacock type of way’ man #MY FAVORITE 🤤��️🍽️#bg3 #astarion

I hope this game knows that I have never blocked or deflected a single attack in my entire life and by god I don't intend to start now. I'm running this shit in my usual fromsoftware style (I dodge or I die I will not sit meekly cowering behind my shield waiting for the end to come I shall meet it head-on on the field of glorious combat). living on adrenaline and i-frames. L1 might as well not exist to me. ah yes. the coward button. I've heard tell of it. the button for people afraid to die. for people unwilling to tank a lethal blow to the face for no reason when it's totally avoidable if you use the game mechanics the devs have handed you. you know. like a real man

#this is the one thing I go 'go big or go home' on dfhskja #rye is flitting across the battle field like some demented electrified moth he has not thought about defense a day in his life #(I have it set up so I regain health on arcane bomb detonations and davrin taunts and I'm almost a full stagger build #with revive slots to taste and some leech attached to weapons here and there. so I do have the sustain in the long run)#I'm playing on underdog as a mage and it's working out just fine (I really do enjoy the combat in this game a lot honestly)#but I think that if I am going to do my nightmare runs and especially the crow rogue one...#folks I AM probably going to have to learn how to parry huh. it hurts me to admit it but here we are #dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #also the i-frame window you get while casting spells is really generous which is great for me lol.#oh I'm in trouble? no you are. fireball be upon you

Dude I agree with your season 2 takes so hard. Another thing that pissed me the hell off was how the 3 characters that were established as having suicidal thoughts all ended up sacrificing themselves at the end. Super cool! not fucked up at all!

BRO I KNOW 😭

I THINK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME. ALL THREE. OF THE SUICIDAL CHARACTERS. ALL THREE.

Not to be crass. This is obviously a serious subject. But like, it's so genuinely bizarre and thoughtless it actually makes me laugh. I think because there's nothing else I can do. It's ridiculous.

The messaging, specifically with Jinx, was fucking chilling, and the justification the writers used for it after made it worse?

Like, oh, Jinx needed to sacrifice herself so vi could be happy with cait like are you FUCKING . SERIOUS. LIKE DFKJSHDFKjlh WHAT TRAIN OF THOUGHT WOULD MAKE SOMEBODY THINK THAT LIKE?!?!? WHAT LOGIC ?! HAS ANYONE IN THAT ROOM BEEN A SISTER ?!!? DO THEY KNOW WHAT SIBLINGS ARE ?!?!

Unfathomable. unfathomable.

Very much with jinx it was like, people with mental health problems are disposable burdens type thing. point blank. it really read like that. The fucking breaking the cycle shit? I was like, surely, surely, this is going to be pushed back against and Vi is going to immediately go save her because clearly she's expressing suicidal thoughts and running away but then instead She has SEX IN HER SISTERS PRISON CELL LIKE EX FUCKINGKDSFH !L??!?!

Sorry. You got me started on something. Like. You just. You can't make this shit up. I literally can't believe we all saw that with our own eye balls.

I think Jayce and Viktor on their own was a really suitable and beautiful ending for both of them, to be honest. But in this context its incredibly bizarre.

All three. All three.

I CANT DUDE

#and yes yes jinx still alive because they need their mavel esque spin off or whatever #but the messaging is still the same im sorry #the damage is done here #ask bee #critical #jayce and viktors sacrifice feels very poetic #very we've flown too close to the sun we have fallen into the trap of our own hubris #take your hand in mind and lets right our wrongs together and go into the great unknown #kind of vibe #made this not rebloggable as i feel like it was just a ramble and i didn't articulate myself clearly enough so if it breaches containment..

can we all collectively agree that this video sucks so much ass

#(mostly taken from my insta stories):#just rewatched this video after a couple of years and yeeeeeah...#most of this guys points fall completely flat now that ive watched the entirety of woy #brother really did not just say that sylvia made the show worse at times and that it wouldnt affect the story much if she wasnt there 😭😭#like. its so blatantly obvious he didnt watch all of the episodes #also dont even get me STARTED on how he missed the entire point of the box and as a result claimed it was the worst episode #man. i could go on and on abt how terrible this video is but otherwise we would be here forever so i'm curious to hear other ppls thoughts #also also!!! fyi do NOT go and harass this guy just because he made a dogshit video 5 years ago #at the end of the day he just wanted to make a video abt woy n i can respect that immensely because its a great show #..i just wish it was a better video 😭#wander over yonder #woy #savewoy #not art

I am so glad that the kid spectrals have such normal and caring spirits who will definitely not physically endanger and/or cruelly betray them in the midst of their lives already being destroyed by cults, monsters, and interpersonal drama. It’s so cool and nice 👍
