People be like "Russia is not imperialistic"🤡 - and then the most famous Ukrainian chef cannot open a restaurant of the most famous Ukrainian cultural food in Japan, because Japanese widely consider borscht a Russian dish and so would avoid the restaurant thinking it to be Russian🫤🫤🫤🤯🤯🤯

seeing people's takes about the whole watcher situation is just a bit.... mind-boggling.

i think the apology they posted was good in the sense that they admitted to fucking up and walked back on their decision, and i think the model they've settled on now is a lot more reasonable (having content be released earlier for those who choose to subscribe), but like.... that doesn't mean that no one should've ever been mad at them in the first place???

like seriously, why does it seem like people are looking at a "good" apology and thinking "huh! they sure did apologize well! i guess that means that it was ridiculous for people to be mad in the first place! no one should have ever complained!!". if no one complained, they wouldnt have walked back their decision! they would've kept going with their dumb completely paywalled option!

and thats not even getting into the fact that their financial woes seem to come from completely mismanaging their money - hiring people when they can not afford to and spending more money on "high quality productions" when they cant afford to.... these are core issues that im not sure will be completely fixed by this? but idk.

also, this situation i think has really helped my own self come to terms with the fact that i do not enjoy many aspects of their content. i sorta already knew that considering i can not remember the last ghost files video i watched because i find that shit incredibly boring and overproduced, and even things like too many spirits have become a chore to watch bc they decided to extend the Not That Funny drink making portion when i just wanna hear some funny spooky stories.

anyway i guess my ultimate point here is: im glad they acknowledged they fucked up, but i also am not sure how interested i am in their content anymore in the first place. oh well

#watcher #i still personally dont know if i would call them 'greedy' for their original choice #for the record: i dont think the three of them are struggling at all lmao #they clearly are living pretty well off #but i do think that watcher as a company really has been struggling bc of their awful business decisions #so i DO think they needed to change SOMETHING #its just.... yknow maybe next time just fucking ask ur audience about the routes ur considering taking #rather than just surprising everyone with a 'whoops! its all paywalled now!!'#im really not sure how to articulate my feelings bc i just constantly feel confused at the way i see others act online #like seeing people yell at others for being 'too parasocial' in the sense of people feeling betrayed and upset by their choices #when those same people are being incredibly parasocial themselves by defending these three like their lives depend on it #these are not starving artists. they are the owners of a business. a ceo. i think its fair for ppl to critique them in that sense #and to point out things like hiring more staff than they can afford #and spending more money on production than is arguably necessary #even if it is part of their 'artistic vision'

OMORITOBER DAY 14: LIBRARY

i like to imagine spirit mari tossing down her favorite memories for omori to read while peeking around to see omori's reaction :3

i was thinkin of drawing her too, but honestly i wasnt very sure what pose to do and i was a bit tired !!

thanks to @/ntrogensolar for the omoritober prompt list!

extra rant in the tags ab why this isnt a full piece!

#artists on tumblr #omori #omori fanart #omoritober #inktober #ez_draws #ez_rants #so heres the deal #i get very tired easily with the whole onyl certain amount of 'spoons' per day thing #i spend most of my time doing my homework #and after that i feel like ive gotta finish the drawing for the day #this means i subconsiously sacrifice time doing things that i truly wanna do including spending time with my friends and doing other things #if i prioritize doing the things that i want to do a little more than this challenge #it ends with me kiiinnddaaa staying up pretty late trying to finish the art #and also lower quality art in general!#however i dont wanna quit the challenge just yet; we'll see how things go but for now i was thinking just doing a sketch! it allows me to-#still do a daily drawing which is great for someone who sometimes goes months without drawing and still not burning myself out on the dail #for example - this drawing took about an hour even though i took my time! and i was also able to spend time with friends and family and-#still be productive! i know i dont have to explain myself; its my art after all but yk i like to explain stuff especially when in relation #to my art! i wanna make sure the art i make is something i truly enjoy and not a plaguing responsibility- so i'll be adapting this-#challenge to my own needs! anyway thats all- sorry for the long rant! and congrats to the people who have enough time and motivation to do #the full challenge!!!#ok byebyeee! and i might be posting more silly sketches in my free time!#rant over <3

Sometimes I remember lee know saying he wants to do a song with Seungmin and I.N bc he'd like to be a part of vocalracha and then I remember that was well over a year ago and there's still nothing.... </3

#cmonnnnn #those dudes all have been getting vocal lessons for 5 million years and have yet to get a proper song together its kinda funny #and by funny i actually cannot conceptualise the thought process of the larger skz team at jyp sometimes #like it doesnt have to be a 3racha production...... the covers and solos are p frequently done outside that so like....#?#lee knows love me or leave me cover popped off when it got released sometimes i dont really know what their managers are doing lmao #like people talk about how busy they are and they are super busy but also im p sure they cpuld have made a vocal unit song at some point in #the past year #but also they could have released the solo songs from dome tour at any point so once again its just that thing of not really understanding #jyp management and why they dont hop on some opportunities that seem fairly logical #like they better release the new songs this time around people have clearly shown a thirst its just weird #like the joke is skz is behind on trends but like. this isnt an skz member thing its a larger management thing and its a bit confusing #id presume theyd release the new solo songs maybe at the end of the tour but they didnt release the dome ones yet so its like.....#Hmmmmm #we will see i suppose

There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think about the fact that this part of the official Time Bastard script was cut out of the YouTube Video.

Sometimes I think Dan and Phil are totally platonic besties and then other times I’m convinced they fuck on the daily. I think they do it on purpose and it’s honestly iconic.

kind of the best thing is that they are that and everything in between. you can tell they just like being around each other. they've made content together for 15 years and the large majority of it was done in the strictly platonic sense for their audience. and they were still having so much fun with it. we're in the 'we know you know' era now so we get to see flashes of different dynamics they have, but they absolutely have more we Don't get to see bc they're not for us.

they like each other. stupidly fond of each other. spending time together doesn't feel exhausting. they're best friends and each others' harshest critics while being the biggest hypeman and also safe space.

dnp's relationship with us, their audience, always has been and always will be different than any other content creators. part of it is how they accumulated it, but another part is just the massive history we have with them. they Get us. they Know us. they're silly goofy sarcastic guys who love us and hate us sometimes. theyre grateful but careful too. they like to rile us up, just like they do each other. it's a love language, teasing, and we've shown positive responses to it over the years. i like to say that my relationship with dnp is antagonistic sometimes--cause i know they're pushing my buttons on purpose. and ykw? it's fun! it's fun for us and it's fun for them because they have the control. i know anything they let out is cause they chose to let it out because they Know how we are. so yes they absolutely adore messing with us. we're a funny bunch.

#im getting sappy again #the things you mention anon are not mutually exclusive for dnp. which is a lot of the fun of it #like for me personally. why be in a relationship with someone who isnt your best friend. i dont know how they couldnt be your favourite ever #like maybe im projecting but theirs is probably the healthiest depiction of love i have in my life #theres movies and tv but its not real. and yes dnp are produced. and aware. and curate. but theyre not selling a relationship.#sure we perceive it. but its not the goal. the product is the entertainment value of them together cause theyre funny.#whereas almost every relationship ive properly witnessed in my life seems like. a trap. genuinely.#its like well no love isnt actually real its a concept you just. are stuck. for the rest of existence. be happy about it.#and with dnp its like oh like love is actually real. like theres a reason people want to stay together forever.#like people Do get lost in each others eyes. they get a different look on their face that reads i love you #theres people out there who will love every aspect of you and never get enough of you or your time #i am. so far off on a tangent.#anyways love dnp love the cat and mouse game we play together #dnp #c.text #dan and phil #answered

Eddie's the type of guy people expect will spike the punch bowl at a school event, but in reality he's the guy adding water or soda into the house party jungle juice.

#eddie munson #is he a drug dealer? yeah sure #but that doesn't mean he's giving shit to people without their consent #he's ahead of the game #you know he's trying out all his product before selling it #one because its fun #but also because no way is he gonna go out there and give away spoiled goods that will make someone sick #and you better believe he gives all the first-time buyers a speech on drug use and how to do it responsibly #i am aware that this sounds delulu #but idk it kinda fits

dust should have one of those mini zen gardens with all the sand and the little rake you use to make patterns but instead of sand its monster dust. specifically dust of people he doesnt like. how calming and tranquil this is as he puts a mini bridge and rocks and tiny tree into the garden filled with what's basically the human equivalent of blood!

#sand pit would also be funny. anything sand related can immediately be twisted #i WAS gonna say killer for this hc instead of dust but like....... idk #i just wanted dust to be a bit silly anyways. its his namesake he should get to play with it #it could also be a guilt thing. or self reflection. dust's time to mourn and judge himself. zen gardens ARE for inner reflection after all.#its like making a baby sensory experience with red paint except the paint is actually blood #horror is in disbelief and disgust once he figures out that shit is monster dust #how quaint! how sweet! how morbid #this is dust's version of an urn #urn sales in the utmv must be proportionally higher than here in our world #my favorite genre of utmv world building is figuring out what dust related products would be more highly valued #urns. dusters. vaccums. lint rollers (could that pick up dust?). what else #papyrus is like that pointing monkey with the rocks for the garden #yes yes brother place that rock right there.... and then the tree goes to the left. and now use the rake #its so silly so funny! the dust could be the dust of a previous killer and horror dust killed #he mustve REALLY not liked them. but also liked them enough to keep their dust. or maybe this is his way of taunting them after death? idk #mtt in a constant cycle of killing eachother/themselves/dying some other way and then replacing the dead with another version #anyways if all the mtt die i think someone (me) should mix their dust together #theyll never be apart now :333 forever trapped together and unable to distinguish what is themself and what is the other 2 :33 so kyute :3 #today im gonna get my friend to watch underverse praying that she gets into utmv #i already showed her ink and she likes ink. i need her to like the rest of them. specifically a certain murderous trio #is this a rant of hc???? UGH!!!! i really need to figure out my own head. hc because its short #tricule hc #dust sans #should i tag the rest of the trio. i mention horrorkiller in tags.......... sure! it wouldn't hurt #i say as the bullet shoots through my skull and scrambles my brain #killer sans #horror sans #murder time trio #utmv #sans au

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

#yes Elizabeth was without a doubt considered too low-born to be queen #no she was not a commoner and nobody actually called her that during her life (so I'm not sure why people are claiming that they did?)#Elizabeth's social status was not a problem in itself; it was a problem in the context of queenship and marrying into royalty #Context is important in this and for literally everything else when it comes to analyzing history. Any discussion is worthless without it.#obviously pop culture-esque articles claiming that she was 'a commoner who captured the king's heart' are wrong; she wasn't #But emphasizing that ACTUALLY she was part of the gentry with a well-born mother and just leaving it at that as some sort of “GOTCHA!”#is equally if not more irresponsible and entirely irrelevant to discussions of the actual time period we're studying.#Elizabeth *was* considered unworthy and unacceptable as queen precisely because of her lower social status #her father and brother had literally been derided as social-climbers by Salisbury Warwick and Edward himself just a few years earlier #the Woodvilles' marriage prospects clearly reflected their status (and 'place') in society: EW herself had first married a knight and all #siblings married within the gentry to people of a similar status. compare that to the prestigious marriages arranged after EW became queen #Elizabeth having a lower social status was not 'created' by propaganda against her; it fueled and shaped propaganda against her #that's a huge huge difference; it's irresponsible and silly to conflate the two as I've seen a recent tumblr post cavalierly do #like I said she was considered too low-born to be queen long before any of the propaganda Warwick Clarence or Richard put out against her #and the fact that Elizabeth was targeted on the basis of her social status was in itself novel and unprecedented #no queen before her was ever targeted in such a manner; Clearly Elizabeth was considered notably 'different' in that regard #(and was quite literally framed as the enemy and destroyer of 'the old royal blood of this realm' and all its actual 'inheritors' like..)#ngl this sort of discussion always leaves a bad taste in my mouth #because it's not like England and France (et all) are at war or consider each other mortal enemies in the 21st century #both are in fact western european imperialistic nations who've been nothing but a blight to the rest of the world including my own country #yet academic historians clearly have no problem contextualizing the xenophobia that medieval foreign queens faced as products of their time #and sympathizing with them accordingly (Eleanor of Provence; Joan of Navarre; Margaret of Anjou; etc)(at least by their own historians)#Nor were foreign queens the “worst” targets of xenophobia: that was their attendants or in times of war commoners or soldiers #who actually had to bear the brunt of English aggression #queens were ultimately protected and guaranteed at least a veneer of dignity and respect because of their royal status #yet once again historians and people have no problem contextualizing and understanding their difficulties regardless of all this #so what is the problem with contextualizing the classism *Elizabeth* faced and understanding *her* difficulties?#why is the prejudice against her constantly diminished & downplayed? (Ive never even seen any historian directly refer to it as 'classism')#after all it was *Elizabeth* who was more vulnerable than any queen before her due to her lack of powerful foreign or national support #and Elizabeth who faced a form of propaganda distinctly unprecedented for queens. it SHOULD be emphasized more.

okay anyway. sorry for the repeated eminem posts i got reminded of his existence and he fascinates me to literally no end

#whats his deal. like actually what is wrong with him #not in a blorbo way. like genuinely whats his fucking deal #this guy gets into controversies like his life depends on it. i want to study him #i feel like every couple months i see him doing some bullshit nd every single time i go ''hes still alive?'' like.#how is he. a person #how does eminem Exist #he feels like a fictional character #hes like if you took jesse out of breaking bad genuinely.#what was even his claim to fame #being able to rap really fast? being controversial?#BOTH?#like. i mean his older music is. good. i guess #its certainly catchy for sure. its very much a product of mid-late 90s and early 2000s rap #and he just. never grew out of that?#hes still making music in that style #theres nothing. wrong with that per se. but there is when its EMINEM doing it #im rambling. do you see what this fucking freak does to me. fascinating individual. i cant believe hes Real #speaking.mp4

i know i complained about it a lot already but im actually sooo annoyed about the apple arcade thing like most sonic mobile games are like. just running with no plot or anything. fun way to pass time and they occasionally have cute alternate costumes or bring back characters that havent been around for a while but youre not really missing much by not playing them. that or theyre just mobile ports of already existing games. but now theyre making a mobile game that seems to have an actual story and is introducing a new character and also just looks really cute and fun in general and also they brought back cream as a main character for the first time in like 50 years and theyre not only making it exclusive to apple devices but also locking it behind a subscription service. go to hell like actually

#again somebody better take one for the team and make a pirated pc port. idk how you would do that but surely its possible #welll its just a mobile game ..... i probably wont be missing too much i guess but still kinda disappointing #because i like to play every new sonic game that comes out #its also just a stupid decision on sega's part likeee do they know how much money theyre missing out on by doing this #theres sooo many people who would have bought the game if they made it a one time purchase on a more accessible platform #i already hated apple and their products before this but this is making me hate them more . out of spite #''heres our cool looking sonic game. you can only play it if you have the worst phone or computer known to man btw''. come on man

"i had no doubt she'd make it to the final. it only depended on me if i was going to make it. i really wanted to have this battle and decide everything on court. i was sad that she lost." so anyways. i'm going to launch myself into the ocean.

#ITS SO. LIKE. COME ON. WHAT.#overanalyzing time but god #i just think it's two people who are so opposed in every way #on and off the court #but on the court i feel like both of them reach this equilibrium #they have such different personalities #i think it's hard for them to be friends (obviously also because of how competitive tennis is)#but also they're So Different in sort of. regular life #BUT ON THE COURT #on the court their differences are why they're able to produce such incredible matches #that's what creates the tension #maybe the one thing they do have in common (tennis) is ironically enough the thing that also divides them the most #the thing that forces them to be on opposing sides #when it seems like they couldn't possible relate at all off the court #on the court is sort of where they find this connection despite that division #where their differences balance out. two halves of a whole. two sides of the same coin.#never the same but always connected. always related to each other. both necessary for the end product.#and that she says 'it only depended on me if i was going to make it'#so sure that she was the only one who could fuck up the balance #never even considering that she would be the one to make it to the final #and after all of that would end up playing someone else.#'i was sad that she lost' well. what now.#i'm going through old interviews and photos bc i'm trying web weaving #which i've not done before and don't really know how #and just stumbled across this #which i actually remember reading this quote at the time and not really thinking much of it #because at the time my eyes had yet to be opened #but now i am Aware and Conscious and reading this excerpt nearly killed me.#anyways!

How do I say, without coming across as a jaded miserable little bitch who likes raining on everybody's parade, that the PJO Disney plus adaption is nostalgia bait, in the same way that their live action remakes are

#it'll probably be good #it sounds like its gonna be a pretty faithful adaption #im not denying that #but #20-30 something year old you ARE being pandered to by the Walt Disney Corporation #its fine to be excited for it. just so long as we are all aware of whats happening #also we gotta stop acting like mr riordan is some underdog in this situation #hes written one of the most successful teen lit series of all time #and in disney's current quirky girl phase of grasping hold of anything that already has a following #of COURSE they snatched this shit up #''Percy Jackson. A Disneyplus original.''#do you have any idea just how much theyre salivating to have their name attached to this series?#(tbf the books were owned by disney too. but a streaming service makes their link to the franchise all the more evident)#anyway. maybe i sometimes get a little bitter when i think about all the original projects in production that were abruptly cancelled #usually because of the current fear to take risks and put something new into the world #and then i remember adaptions like are going ahead #there is no risk associated the pjo series. the first few books are relatively squeaky clean for a teenage audience #this is a comfortable direction for them to go in #''but but but theres gay people in it'' hush. disney is not afraid of captilizing on the gay experience #also im pretty sure the gay people dont show up until like. 8 books in #thats 8 seasons #can you imagine #''guys we need to keep giving this show our support so we can eventually get solanjello (or whatever its called)''#ooooh theyre quite evil. very interesting #even tho like. dont worry you'll get your gay people eventually. you'll get all your book adaptions. you'll get all those seasons.#this franchise is disneys new pet #you can smell it #the hype. the cast announcements. the promotion #LIN MANUEL MIRANDA???#theyre going to squeeze every last drop of engagement they can get out of it
