#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

[pansy2005]

i just think idk. art style is soooo subjective and i get having your own opinions and not liking a particular style! there are plenty of artists whose style i am not a fan of. but saying it’s objectively bad because it isn’t the kind of style you like…. is weird. to me

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...)

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??

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

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

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

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...

[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

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 :)

quick random poll because this has been bugging me since frontiers came out

cutscene in question -> X

[shitposting-hobbits-to-gallifrey]

nothing worse than when you see a post that is 100% a joke and not at all serious but that also kinda highkey rubs you the wrong way for slightly stupid reasons

[mla0]

i hate when people portray michael and/or patrick as some kind of master manipulator who was terrible to shaun and stormy. like, in the past, michael sometimes got portrayed with little autonomy, or as childish and overly innocent in a weird way. that in itself is an issue with the treatment of mentally ill characters (infantilization), but the solution isn't to argue that he's actually a monster who only wanted to hurt and mislead people. the same goes for patrick. i don't enjoy the "goofy flirty mass murderer" interpretation for very similar reasons, because in the canon patrick did indeed do some wild shit but i think it's a stretch to say it was out of malice, except maybe towards eric lol

obviously there will be different views of these characters and this isn't meant to be gatekeep-y or anything, i'm just concerned with how certain portrayals can quickly slide into negative biases towards mental illness. i think if you're going on this route you might want to ask yourself why, and consider how it could make the mentally ill people within the fandom feel when they see their own symptoms portrayed by their peers as synonymous with being dishonest or manipulative

saw a fanart of the bimboification of astarion with his intelligence high as a magistrate and slowly going down after more more years of slavery and am I the only one who thinks that uhhhh is not a good look

[edmunderson]

went to download a cc set i like but it's on mod collective only. I'm really not wild about the site's "you can only download if you have an account" rule
