It is so annoying being a fan who hates one of the main characters and one of the main ships and who’s favourite character only appears in like 5 episodes (all of which center around said character and ship), cause I’ll see a post about the show or listen to one of the songs and go “I should rewatch glee” and then I remember that there’s no way to do that without having to see them, and then I just don’t
#anti blaine anderson#anti klaine#and they take up the entire show -1.5 seasons#it’s impossible to watch around them

some people on here make Hating All Social Rules such an obnoxiously large part of their personality that you could say "it is polite to avoid farting in a crowded elevator if you can help it" and they'd call you an oppressive puritan who hates the incontinent
#eliot posts#like sometimes social rules ARE pointless (or DO have a point but ultimately do more harm than good or are just unnecessarily inefficient)#but sometimes they're a useful way to consider the comfort of those around you#of course there are extenuating circumstances where following them is impossible or would put more burden on you than is fair or practical#in such cases it's good to make exceptions#and to automatically give rule breakers the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming they're being rude on purpose#anyway i once saw someone getting PISSED OFF bc a post said it's rude to watch videos without headphones on public transit#or this other time someone said public sex is always okay-#-and that it doesn't matter if ''public'' means a bathroom/back alley or if it neans the middle of the park in broad daylight#but it's not just about those two instances it's about an attitude i see on here in general#AND I AM SAYING THIS AS A QUEER AUTISTIC

In another universe Christine and Erik skipped town and they live happily together raising Gustave...
#poto#phantom of the opera#lnd#love never dies#christerik#erikstine#christine daae#erik poto#the phantom#gustave de chagny#i just be ramblin#Hey am I still hung up on Erik's dream in the book of just. Putting on a mask and getting married to his beloved and raising a kid and#having a normal domestic life?#MAYBE#Maybe I imagine a future where this worked out somehow#Where Erik has everything set up to live his perfect normal life#And honestly putting on that perfect mask turns out to be bittersweet as he doesn't...love it as much as he assumed#after all he'd only wanted to be accepted and to live normally rather than be feared (a wish to cover one's features out of a desire for#connection rather than a genuine hatred of them)#So I imagine Erik and Christine staying somewhere private or going on a private walk under the moonlight#and after such a long day‚ Christine tugs off the mask#And she looks him in the eyes and loves him‚ kisses him#Oh to be able to spend time with your family‚ the only people you can remove your mask around#And for them to accept you wholly as you are‚ love you as you are‚ even after hearing for so long that this kind of life was an#impossibility for you#Erik teaching Gustave how to play instruments and how to train the instrument that is one's voice#the two watching Christine sing on street corners as she used to do with her father (perhaps even playing for her)#They make me emotional....

i am so goddamn tired of every single fantasy story being about men. i am so goddamn tired of women being side characters and love interests and set dressing and an afterthought. i am so goddamn tired of women who are powerful but feminine. women who are "dressed to kill" and they are wearing eyeliner and a dress and heels. i am so goddamn tired of women always being healers and having water magic. i am so goddamn tired of men going on adventures and dying nobly. i am so goddamn tired of never being able to find a story about women that i can fall in love with. i am so goddamn tired of all fandom being about men.
#i have spent the past several weeks becoming increasingly upset about this#hannibal? men. lotr/the hobbit? men. stargate atlantis? men. dragon age inquistion? men. one piece? men.#the handful of superhero's i periodically read about? men. transformers? men. every goddamn anime i've ever loved? men.#the witcher? men. fantasy anachronism? men. literally every single fantasy adventurer series? men.#it's men and men and men and men and men and men and men and men#i just want ONE. one single goddamn story about women that is as well written and well made and as deep as everything else#i want ONE story about a women or women who are noble and honorable and fight in the face of impossible odds#and i don't want them to be pretty and small and feminine#make them hairy and fat and muscular and tall and wear steel toed boots and carry swords and fight monsters and sleep in the woods#and eat stew and carry heavy packs for long distances and be intelligent and sneaky and cowardly and fearful and brave#make them laugh and cry and scream and fall in love and write poetry and books and songs#make them wrestle and pick on each other and pull each others hair and sit around campfires#MAKE THEM GODDAMN PEOPLE#there are books out there about women going on adventures. they exist. i've read some#but they are not the majority and they never get big#and so many end up being poorly written or a romance or a combo of the two#i don't WANT to have to read genderbends just to read about women#i don't want to scroll tumblr and just see men on my dash#all i have ever wanted my whole life is to be a fantasy adventurer. and none of them. not ONE of them looks like me#i am tired of watching youtube critiques of fantasy shows/movies/stories and them just shitting on the women characters#i am just so tired of it

not going to lie i do find it quite upsetting that so many ppl think that animals that arent immediately relatable to humans are completely incapable of thought or feeling. and thats the only thing that matters when it comes to animal rights arguments a lot of the time
#like the take of ohhhh Well this animal is smart and shows emotions!!! it might even be smarter than humans!!!#as if that matters literally at all#like the argument abt fish or hamsters or w/e being stupid (wrong) so it doesnt matterrrrr if they dont get cared for properly#as if its ever ok to mistreat animals.#in general the idea around smaller or less relatable animals being worth less is super frustrating#like if u post abt microwaving ur hamster when u were 6 everyones like ‘lmaoooo i did the same thing’#but if u posted that abt a dog….? The Gallows#we shouldnt have to care abt mistreatment of animals bc theyre cute or funny or smart#i just watched blackfish again and it annoyed me how much ppl were arguing abt the orcas being so smart and emotional etc#which is true. but thats just smth that makes their captivity harder. u jnow. like if they were simple and had simple needs it would still#be wrong if they werent met#its just such a huge issue bc of how hard the needs are to meet in captivity#same as like. bears and shit. you physically cannot give them enough territory to stop them going insane#ik theres ppl who believe All captivity is wrong#like my strpmum is one who believes nobody should own Any pet#which is. Imo a stupid argument and not at all sustainable. ppl need companions thats why weve had dogs and cats for thousnads of years#but also they are such successful pets bc their needs are so easy to meet!!!!!#its this misconception that fish or rodents are Easy Beginners pets… in reality they are 100x harder. but their lives are worth less to ppl#bc they dont show love the same way#well. anyways im not very good at expressing my thoughts abt serious stuff#but its smth that rlly upsets me#its frustrating too bc ppl either dgaf abt animals aside from Maybe the cute ones or r too extreme in advocating for the freedom of animals#like u can absolutely give indoor cats proper enrichment. its just slightly more effort#and its not as simple as just. emptyinb out the zoos. READ ABT KEIKO!!!!!#i feel its a very interesting topic. but ppl r very b/w on it#idk i feel the majority of ppl know so little abt animals its like. impossible to get thru#like ok cool u think zoos r bad bc the lions get saddddd. but u also think snakes and bugs and rodents are nothing but disease spreaders#and cant also have complex lives#Tsk. Whateevr

the day I manage to articulate my thoughts on lupin's cigarette / lighter symbolism is the day I finally reach my true potential as a lupiii writer
#▸ out of character#lupzero ep 4..... jigen's lighter finally working only when he's back with lupin and following along in his plans ??? ouuugghhh I'm normal#the act of service of lighting someone's cigarette before your own. the way they both do it for each other; rejecting jigen's usual dynamic#-of boss and hired gun. he's on equal footing w/ lupin; they're friends and partners in crime and trust each other wholly#just as lupin frequently puts his life in jigen's hands; always trusting him to watch his back; jigen trusts lupin to be the mastermind#despite jigen being the more rational; grounded one; he's been around long enough to know that lupin's unhinged genius just WORKS#he trusts lupin to find a way to get them out of trouble; even if the solution is ridiculous and sounds impossible. he trusts it'll work

sorry hang on tarot requests might be delayed by a few minutes I'm sending a furious alumna email
#look it's a subject that I've chosen not to talk about on tumblr for various reasons but like#you think y'all can have the UNMITIGATED GALL to send alumni an email about how you had to get rid of the dirty evil protesters#when I had to deal with anti-gay evangelical protesters all the fucking time at penn???#you're gonna tell me that these students were making student life impossible#when I had to deal with those wharton pissbabies when trump was elected?#when I watched those miserable little monsters-in-the-making following around crying female students and shouting LOCK HER UP#in the fucking DINING HALL#but NO the student protesters on the GREEN are too much?#holy shit you guys can get fucked#you didn't trespass the westboro baptist church but you are trespassing your own students#you just want to protect your precious endowments and shit#and considering you never spent any of that money fixing accessible doors when I was on campus#at times preventing me from going to class until I could find a stranger to open them for me#you can absolutely get fucked forever with all that money that you only give to your highest earners#sorry I am SO mad lmao

How many calories is it reasonable to burn in a day (extra calories, like above your base metabolic rate)???
I’m PRETTY sure my watch is glitching cuz it used to show something normal like 200 normally up to like 900 on a busy day
Then I didn’t wear it for a few years and now it’s giving me daily readings of like 1000-3000 on a busy day.
There’s no way I burnt 3000 calories in a single day right? This thing is broken.
#my only explanation is that I used to work at a library#but now I’m a gymnastics coach#and it’s very much not like a school gym coach standing the the side with a clipboard#I am very much demonstrating moves and form and spotting athletes by catching and holding them in mid air#moving 100lb mats around all day#etc#but STILL#3000 sounds physically impossible#calories#one particularly long 10hr workday the watch was telling me I needed to eat like 4800 calories to break even#I was like no effing way man#1. that’s got to be wrong 2. how could I consume that much I would have to eat an entire cow#I think I ate like 1400 lol and that’s a lot for me#if this isn’t a glitch this could explain why I’m losing mad amount of weight lately#but like#it’s got to be a glitch#fitness watch#maybe the thing is just too old and is losing functionality

heard some people saying that hayley atwell's character grace is being set up to be the next ethan hunt and carry on the mission impossible series, and my first thought was "well, she definitely looks just as good in a suit."
#watching them together in dead reckoning... they matching#the only reason i'm slightly skeptical of this is because hayley has said during several interviews that she doesn't see herself doing what#what tom cruise does -- with stunts and all#she Definitely has the acting skills and the versatility and the passion#but she has described herself as an extroverted introvert and talked about how tom cruise is in a total extrovert and very#in touch with his physicality & the environment around him; and that's why he can pull off the stunts so well and so successfully#so idk. she's obviously excelled in the physical action part of being in a mission impossible movie and i she's super capable#but they'd have to set her up as a completely different person from ethan with her own style of leadership for it to work#instead of as a female version of him#also?? with the way that mcquarrie doesn't plan out his films' plot until he finishes filming i'm not even sure that HE knows how the#franchise is going to end#mission: impossible#hayley atwell#grace#tom cruise#ethan hunt

Sakura gets a second point for being the first to complete the tree climbing at being better at chakra control, but at the same time it just feels like she was made good at it so no extra training segment time would have to be put into her getting good at it and it can be all about Sauce and Nart. Idk that feels too pessimistic but also could totally be true.
#she takes on a very 'obsever' role. like kashi is the teacher watching over them. but sock is the watching and commenting from the same#perspective of nart and sauce and also the viewer unlike kashi. cuz he provides a lot of exposition and whatnot in his inner monolgues#and its like. of course the girl is just the observer who watches alongside us as the two main boys grow and develop#AND I DONT WANNA FUCKIN BE PESSIMISTIC ABOUT THIS BUT GOD ITS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!#but her whole character so far is 'i hate the class clown. im book smart. i diet and im in love'#and the way i see it is. 12yo girl TRYING to fit into the femininity she sees in the world around her so she forces herself to be like this#but she has inner sock who speaks what she really feels showing that she puts on quite a front and isnt really much like that at all#and you expect her to grow into wanting her to truly define herself. and she does with getting stronger and training under tsunade and#learning medical ninjutsu so she really finds a spot for herself. she does!!! but then she KEEPS hanging onto the love nonsense#and admittedly there are moments that push a very obvious trope of thinking she likes sauce cuz hes cool but finding out that the real 'gem'#is nart so i definitely understand where n@rus@kus are coming from#but then she just STICKS with sauce until its the worst ship possible and its an utter mess of 'ill never give up on him'#EVEB DESPITE HIM TRYING TO KILL HER!!! THEN THAT FUCKING WORKS OUT!?!?!?#AND TOO THIS DAY SAUCE STILL NEVER COMES OFF LIKE HE ACTUALLY LOVES HER#IM SORRY BUT ITS TRUE. SARD WE ARE GETTING YOU BETTER PARENTS. ON GOD!!!!!#so she just hangs on to this one little thing that she SHOULD have gotten development for to move on from BUT IT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENS#so its like half her development never fucking happens and thats why it#s such a fuckinf mess!!!!!#i fucking hate this show. i need to go back to watching mike's dino game vod. what am i doing here?????#i did this to myself btw. i didnt need to start yelling about that but thats just how it is with nart#start thinking about something good and then it reminds you of something related thats bad and now its like. yeah this shit sucks#remember when kishi said he regretted not making hina the heroine???? we could have lived in a better timeline.#but if i say that i will get assassinated#anyway.#sock count#personal

RARHGHGHGHGHH I'VE FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON SEASON 3 AND IM SO MAD AND HAPPY AND RHGRHGHRGHRHGRHGH
#DAMNIT OF COURSE I SHARE MY BALDRIC FACE HC BEFORE WATCHING THE SEASON FINALE#im so happy im SO happy his face his fucked up canonically i feel so vindicated for it#i guess i shouldve guessed it was canon but yknow#i dont know but yknow. yknow#god they make me so happy#the finale made me cry they're perfect#baldric despairing against his impossible quest of bettering outset....#tannhauser's passion that FIRE driving him forward like fuel to the engine#vina steeped in fear and uncertainty and acknowledging her own CANONICAL FAILURES AURGH#rehua ruminating over his purpose his dreams where he'll go now that he doesnt have a destiny#and oran god oran#oran has always been the emotional heart but he really shines in the finale#him going around to everyone and gently coaxing them out of their individual pits#the fact that learning their destiny was orchestrated didnt plunge him into a crisis like everyone else#but instead reinforced his resolve in the face of his friends' struggles#wonderful stuff. phenomenal.#baldric is and probably always will be my fav#however#characters who steel themselves in struggle to become the shield their friends need are just#(chef's kiss)#i love them. i love them all#i said it once and i'll say it again#if any of the characters from the rotgrind crew were in a diff campaign they'd undoubtedly be my fav#and the fact that all five of them are together to form the best band of weirdos around?#i was doomed from the start#and i love them for it#fav ttrpg campaign ever#rambles#spoilers

at the end of the day, i’m a fan of silly little action movies. that’s just how it is
#ljs life#don’t get me wrong I love appreciating art that makes me think too; i love finding the deeper meaning in things and analysing characters#and i do that to the silly little action movies as well even if they aren’t ’high art’#but at the end of the day if you asked me if i want to watch transformers or mission impossible or like…a bond film or whatever#i will say yes and it will consume my every waking thought for like two weeks#my all time favourite movie could watch it a thousand times and not get bored is Venom (2018)#i just finished rewatching all of the mission impossible movies with like three other tom cruise films thrown in for flavour#yes i probably read too much into them and get a little obsessive over them but#at the end of the day. i love them i really do they entertain me so much and i like watching people run around and hit things and cause#explosions and save the world. i am a simple person

found a guy with the weirdest misconception about dead space which is that upgrading health doesn't actually give you more health it just makes the health bar look longer, but now it's making me paranoid that like. what if that's true. what if what i've been assuming are health upgrades aren't actually doing anything and in reality the "health upgrade" is just the improved armor from when you buy a new suit and any kind of advantage i thought i was getting from upgrading health directly is just psychological ghlskdjflksdjf
#i dont think so ive been watching him play and he seems to have a tendency to just kinda assume things w/o testing them#but. what if he's right#i need to write dow nthe things i wanna test/do in the game in general cause there's a few things that i'm curious about#like how quarantines work wrt swarmers & what happens if you lose in the ADS part of the remake (dont tell me if u know lol i wanna try it)#and i wanna record a swarmer death cause i enver did that before when i went around recording death animations#plus i haven't actually used the foam finger or the burnished suit or w/e that i unlocked from the impossible run

Hello there martynsimp69 I hope you’re alive after the Events
im coping <- this is a lie
#limlife spoilers#limited life finale#limited life finale spoilers#limited life spoilers#ask#anon#i stood in the kitchen watching eggs boil on the stove thinking about a scenario where martyn ends up trapped in the end of limlife#no ghosts. nothing to strike him down. the timer paused indefinitely. forever stuck with the time he stole#extra hours and minutes sitting heavy in his chest stretching out impossibly long#i thought about so long spent alone in a server frozen in time that he dives down deep#because the sun stopped moving. the timer is paused and everything else is too. nothing new spawns and he's killed all the mobs#and its always daylight and hes sick of it. hes sick. so he dives#dives until the sea is dark and heavy and cool around him like twilight. and maybe down there when his lungs start to burn--#--the kelp and coral start to look like reaching hands. and maybe theres something about forever carrying someone'e stolen time that--#--starts to feel like hauling around a body. because thats all thats left of them isn't it? thats all there is. their corpses are gone.#keepinventory is something that can be so personal. or impersonal as it were bc unless you were skizz u took everything with u when u died#theres nothing to remember the dead by#except their time. and martyn's timer won't budge anymore. so he supposes he's carrying whatever little is left of them#barely an hour. all that's left of scott is 30 minutes of an hour that refuses to end. he'd wanted that time so bad. he's so sick of it now#anyways. the point of this was supposed to be something about martyn hallucinating scott at the bottom of the ocean and nearly drowning#this is the second au where ive drowned martyn. the first one came to me in a dream. sorry idk whats going on there#i severely lost the plot of these tags my ramen is getting cold#other notable events of the day is martyn answering an ask about his martitties. im coping with that badly as well

Why is n*elan always Like That -_-
#untamed stuff#ship negativity#i dont mind it objectively#i can find it kinda compelling in the sense of like#someone you used to be close with#but youve both changed a lot and it no longer works#but admitting that is impossible#and you want to help but also veing around them is awful#on the one hand and watching someone you used to be close with#drift away and towards someone easier while your deteriorating#on the other#but no its always fucking. Good Virtuous Mingjue fanon bs#where either he saves poor naive xichen from evil jgy#or its sad naive cichen allowed evil jgy to kill the Best Person For Him#whyyyyyyyyyy i hate it

I gotta remember I don’t actually like the family party on the 26th and I would much rather be home alone or spending this time with friends, this one is always so overwhelming this house is full of loud opinionated people with undiagnosed ADHD who can’t hold a fucking straightforward conversation to save their lives and my dad always gets upset about how much everyone drinks and the food sucks and every time I try to get to a quieter spot or find an actual pocket of conversation it gets invaded and derailed and shouted over immediately
#shhh sharkie#no one let’s each other finish a story so you’re derailed immediately#and my aunt’s family is so stubborn and angrily opinionated it’s impossible to make yourself heard#they’re talking government conspiracy theories rn and i want to shoot myself#i just want to go back to my video games with my noise canceling headphones#adding on now that we’re back at my parents and i’ve gotten some sleep and decompression time but —#i love them all i truly do it just gets very overwhelming at that party in particular#i did do the big kid thing of remembering i can just (politely and diplomatically) leave a conversation i don’t want to be having#especially if it’s one that’s just happening around me I that no one is letting me get words in anyway#so when things got really overwhelming at the dinner table and i was just watching the younger adults watch SNL in the living room#and reading the subtitles for a stupid transphobic skit with fucking adam driver of all people. and that was just the perfect cherry on top#i cleared my plate and refilled my glass and went into the other room where it was much quieter but still ‘present’ and played video games#was much more at ease for it.#and then later I ran a mini-session of the DnD oneshot for my cousins! and we nerded out over my dice collection and other games#and we watched my one cousin play an elden ring game (??? i think? that family of video games)#and then it was time to go home!#and i got to very neatly avoid the top-of-the-lungs tswift singalong happening with the main party 🙃#tldr i love you all individually in your own way and its not your fault but y’all are too damn loud!!!
