#just kinda rubbed me the wrong way

[harbingerofsoup]

y’all im losing my mind because my parents finally watched s7 this week, so i figured i’d get the cishet, general audience perspective on bi buck canon straight from the source and apparently my parents not only didn’t see it coming, but had a grand old laugh imagining, and i quote, “how the actor reacted to it being pitched after years of playing a more womanizing character”

obviously i corrected them immediately, but god straight people are why we can’t have nice things

following on from this. not to always bring marc into everything (sorry marc) but if assen 2015 had happened against jorge, valentino would have very likely pulled something similar again imo. rather than what he actually did, which is approach marc almost immediately for a nice normal friendly handshake and backing off during the podium celebrations. should be noted that during laguna seca '08, valentino was very much committed to yapping at casey on the podium with the world's biggest smuggest grin on his face

partly that disparity is because jorge not marc was the direct title rival, partly it's because valentino was treating marc with kid gloves right until the second that he wasn't, which marc was seemingly entirely oblivious to. if anyone other than marc had said what he said in that presser, had then continued on with similar rhetoric during sachsenring, valentino would quite likely have gone nuclear. he's done it over less than that. his fondness for marc made him continue to exhibit uncharacteristic restraint... except that fondness unfortunately is what left valentino feeling so very betrayed when (to his eyes) marc could not leave well enough alone

Joshseoh kinda just ignored everyone pointing out it was wrong to paywall this during black history month and that whitewashing black ppl is wrong, because... shilling more bad quality hairs was more important ig? so anyway...

Y'all can download it here if ya really want it!

(tho tbh the quality is so bad i can't exactly recommend it...)

Okay but now I really wanna know more about the Outworld Races (and other realms) in your au, bc the idea that Zaterrans are the lost human ancestor is GENIUS

Thank you for asking! Sorry it took so long 😭

Naknadan primarily live in trees and prefer to live in dark places due to adapting to the almost constant night of their home realm. The extra set of arms on their back are used to carry young children. And they have monkey like tails to help with balance.

^ They're not greedy by nature but are drawn to shiny things as bioluminescence is common in their native realm.

Tarkatans are known for their leather and bone crafts. There's a common superstition that they use their own people to make them because of their cannibalistic nature and rituals of honoring the dead by "repurposing" them.

The Osh-Tekk have a clicking language and communicate through chirps and squawks until they are old enough to learn it.

The Tarkatans and Osh-tekk have been in a land dispute since Osh-Tekk was absorbed into Outworld.

Nearly all of the Arnyek islands' races went extinct after the merging, with the only surviving one being the Kytinn as Kreeyans went extinct shortly after conquest.

Edenians only live to be around 3000 Earthrealm years but use magic to increase their lifespan.

There are many types of Vaeternians.

Would you guys call me a spoilsport if I said I don't like the "come to brazil" meme and wish ppl would stop talking about partying & beaches & bikinis whenever they try to "compliment" brazilian culture. 👉🏻👈🏻?

The interesting experience of being pro Sasuke, anti konoha, pro tobirama, anti Naruto ending, pro Sasusaku, anti Itachi, pro Sakura, anti SasuNaru, pro Tobirama×Izuna, anti Madara, pro karin, anti Orochimaru, pro Uchiha and anti Hashirama. And also as much as I hate the guy danzo was kind of hot when he was younger...

I think it's really sick how the internet started searching for bad things about Emily Armstrong the moment she was announced as being part of Linkin Park and I also think people do this because of a very misogynistic reason idk.

She already said supporting Danny Masterson was a mistake and cancelling her because she supposedly is a Scientologist??? I read multiple times already that she got out of that cult, so I think it's even more fucked up to try to end her career because she used to be trapped in a cult??

i'm trying to watch a trans guy critique some video game trans rep bc i'm interested in hearing more trans ppl talk about it. but he's very. i'm paraphrasing here but "why would anyone ever in a million years want their rpg character to have top surgery scars. isnt that a constant reminder to you and everyone around you about how you were born" and "you don't work on transitioning. you just need hormone treatment and possibly some--"

[5mcsinatrenchcoat]

I'll admit however that it gets harder and harder not to be just a little bit salty about Lavellan (in a relationship with Solas) being treated as The Inquisitor now. Even by some of the game team. Like I understand why (I see the appeal, I'm not ignorant of it), but also hell some of us are just friends with him.

Altho it is kinda just a step up from the mage Hawke being The Hawke of the fandom (which, again, understandable, they are the most narratively compelling considering the themes) and therefore Carver being the default surviving sibling. Poor Beth.

not a hostile post pls no one feel attacked

[mthras]

uhhhh am i the only one who cringes when sylus calls us "sweetie" or "kitten" in en loc? 😬

[archersartcorner]

Oh god sorry for this yall I’ve gotten some weird fascination going on with Sorak specifically with regards to a canon TPP. Massively messed up family…

[ashersbraincell]

Piping hot take(like seriously I hope I don’t get death threats for this): as much as I’m aware of the issues behind Jack Black playing Steve(ie whitewashing, Jack’s world-views/him generally as a person), it IS kinda nice to have a fat person be one of the main and most iconic characters in a movie for once

But alas it would be even greater if a plus size POC individual played him instead :(

[oifaaa]

Consider: Jason and Tim still hate each other but also sort of love each other. The sibling rivalry is absolutely on sight. They fight no-holds-barred. But if anyone other than Jason even slightly scratches Tim, they're dead, and vice-versa. "No one else gets to kill you but me" kinda brothers.

Okay but friend have you considered pure hated like just the most undiluted most vindictive hatred from Tim he would not be able to stand by and watch jason be murdered only bc he would feel the need to step in and help out the murderer he definitely voted for jason to die during the robin death poll

while Jason could not tell you which member of the young justice team is actually Tim despite knowing who every other member of the team is

You can make na-lu better by making it into a qpr* im so serious rn

[navree]

people doing this whole "look at how rhaenys acted with corlys's bastard son vs how catelyn acted with jon snow" to demonize one or the other is weird because, like, maybe it's just me, but i think that catelyn and rhaenys had different reactions because they're different people in different situations.

Complaining About Fanart

Mwahaha I’ve tricked you this is actually an art appreciation post. But bc I’m in love and look at fanart all the time every day, I’ve noticed 2 main categories of comic! death of the endless fanart which are as follows:

Generic Comic Book Woman With Eyeliner

The other ones

Show!Death does not suffer from no. 1 as much, I imagine bc of the time the show came out? I’m not going to share examples of type one bc I don’t want to shame any artists for my own personal taste but like. You know which ones I’m talking about right? Like you’ve seen It. You Know.

But here are ones I LOVE bc they’re unique/beautiful/she looks a little icky

The official comic art obvs, I feel like her hair would crunch if I touched it

2. Any drawing of her by Chris Bachalo, he always makes her shape language so round and I love that. Huggable. Squishable. 10/10z

3. Taurin Clarke’s style (@ taskforcetuesday) . Look at her expression!!! Her little nose scrunch! She’s feelin mischievous!!!!!

4. Rebecca Puebla , the way the lines r so squiggly. Very good very good.

5. Quite literally anything by Alex Maleev. They just Get It, you know. She looks exhausted and lightly pissed off in all of their art. Perfect.

6. This specific drawing by Ryan Kelly. Idk why but this one just scratches an itch in my brain.

7. Lisa Treiman, she’s feeling mischievous!!!! That’s the number 1 thing I look for!!!! And a little icky! The wings! The expression! Amazing.

8. Kevin Wada, the colors are lovely I just adore how her cheeks r a little pink. N her shirt is so cool!!!!!

9. This one, just such a unique style. I go insane for the pencil sketch vibes.

So in conclusion I think I just like any drawing where she has a facial expression actually. And I’m definitely going to do a part 2 with Show!Death fanart bc there are so many artists who deserve so much love 🙏💕

One of my favorites by Miss Bliss on Twitter :)

EDIT: part 2 :)
