the biggest problem with the warden class in eso is the animal companion ultimate.

the bear.

in a skill line full of morrowind-specific animals. loADED with buggies and classic morrowind staples like cliff racers and netches, zos decided a goddamn boring-ass mamalian normal-world dnd basic BEAR would be a good idea.

not a scrib warrior. not a nix ox.  not even one of those gone-out-of-their-way-to-completely-redesign-to-be-buggy hunger daedra, no.

a fucking bear.

fuck the bear.

some people absolutely live too long. Henry Kissinger is celebrating his 100th birthday in 5 days. He should've been struck down by lighting like 50 years ago

Henry Kissinger outliving Betty White is proof that God is dead

Adult PJO fans: "I can't relate to her if she doesn't look like me" "this is disrespectful to book!Annabeth" "I can't see her as the same character if she's black" "blonde, white women are soooo underrepresented in media. No one else can understand 😫"

Meanwhile, the actual demographic the show and books are for:

Anyone I see intentionally, egregiously misusing the word "grooming" to mean "this person tried to tell me something I don't like or want to hear" or argue with me about blatant actual grooming behaviors not counting as grooming are getting kicked into the sun.

I'm sick of this.

Dorothy and the Prince of Oz: *is intentionally an original Oz story separate from the canonical books, '39 film, et cetera, told beautifully through the art of ballet* Me: Neat! Also me, in the back of my mind: You know there's a certain Princess of Oz you could have Dorothy fall in love with... no need to create a new character... Ozma is all invented, public domain, and available for ya already...

Playing through Trails of Cold Steel 1 and I'm starting to think that there's only three people in the entirety of Erebonia who are attracted to men: that one girl who writes yaoi, Instructor Sara, and Crow (at least that's what the fan art I see says about him). Seriously this country appears to be overrun with packs of wild lesbians.

Trying to figure out if i'm setting healthy boundaries or just a spineless coward who runs at the first sign of hardship

Actually it should be legal to rush the stage and start beating a guys ass when he starts being blatantly bigoted or predatory disguised as "jokes".

Standing on stage in front of a microphone is not a go-ahead to say whatever the hell you want without consequences because you're "joking", and so many comedians need to be reminded of that.

Really love The Owl House for being like "no straights, even the het-passing couples are Very Gay"

Like, Eda's parents maybe, but honestly you're really gonna have to convince me that Eda did not inherit her Disaster Bi Energy directly from Gwen.

People only stan Pluto because it has a man's name. Where are all the Vesta, Ceres and Eris supporters? Nowhere because you guys are mad about Pluto (hades) not being a planet

I've been trying to let myself sit without entertainment from time to time, out of some vague notion that if I don't flick from work to escapist fiction to conversation with loved ones to fiction to a different piece of fiction back to work etc etc then I may have some original thoughts, and perhaps even develop opinions on my own. Of course, I already have some thought patterns ingrained, and even when I'm thinking of whatever topic is most important to me in that moment, I think in a manner that I have often learned from the outside world. All that to say, I spent 3 hours driving today and I primarily spent that time hazily composing tumblr posts in my head about, like, fellow road users and how the sun was kind of in my eyes.

I don't often use tone indicators but I find people complaining about them specifically with "ugh why should I have to learn and remember all these things??" deeply disingenuous. do you also complain about tbh, omg, lol, lmao, imo, ime, ofc, tl;dr, wyd, tfw, lmk, afaik, fyi, idk, ikr, nbd, omw, smh, wtf, tmi, etc. etc. etc.? or do you use them regularly and have no problem with them?

if you do in fact have problems with these and complain about them then like. carry on! I certainly am sympathetic to people who genuinely have a hard time remembering these things. but I'm pretty sure that isn't the case for the majority of people making these complaints; it's just abundantly clear that like, whatever issue you have isn't because of the use of acronyms and shorthand terms. if you used and were exposed to tone indicators frequently you wouldn't have these issues with them, just like with all those other acronyms you are familiar with! so if you're gonna complain, at least don't lie about it, we all know that 'using acronyms' isn't your problem so let's not keep pretending it is. c'mon.

people find ways to streamline and shorten things to make communication easier, that's all tone indicators are! that's all these acronyms are, too! you don't have to like or use tone indicators but don't pretend you don't do the same exact thing too
