This damn comic is fucking A N C I E N T but as far as like, the content of it- not necessarily the art because I always hate my older art, but the presentation, what is objectively here- still feels right to me, so I'm sharing it. again

every time i see discourse about fundraisers go by on here im just fully struck with the realization that not a single one of you people have either taken a cybersecurity fraud prevention course or bothered to take one singular second to consider the website youre on. this is the broke bitches website. none of us can afford to fund our mutuals' grocery bills, much less entire evacuation funds, and CERTAINLY not FAKE evacuation funds taking advantage of genocide victims. all this shit abt how people are deliberately choosing not to fund every post that passes their dash because they hate palestinians literally just does the work of actual scammers for them by laying the high-pressure sales tactics groundwork, and the "do you guys have any idea how hard it is to keep coming up with new attention-grabbing fundraiser posts?" ones just ring EXTREMELY hollow because YEAH! YEAH I DO! and so does everyone i follow! and everyone they follow! because all of us are FUCKING BROKE and surviving on crumbs! i just saw one that said "i make sure to keep $40 in my wallet at all times so i can give $20 to any panhandlers i see, this is the same" and its like!! good for you, thats very nice, but like!!! you need need NEED to take a step back and realize that /being able to do that/ is a position of privilege, not the default setting to be a good person. i wont discount that some people do ignore fundraisers specifically because of racism because Of Course, but like. a) yelling at them isnt gonna make them stop, or more accurately yelling at /everyone else/ isnt gonna make those people stop, and b) trying to apply that as a blanket motivation for everyone just. realistically doesnt work. not donating is a nonaction, it is the literal default status, and while in specific situations you can use CONSISTENT absence of SPECIFIC actions to track a person's motivations SOMETIMES, broadly speaking that just. doesnt work.

there are 8 billion people on this planet. most of them will never know you exist. of the ones that do, most will not be able to help you. of the ones that can, most will not be on the broke bitches website passing the same communal $20 around. consider your audience and stop shitting on fellow poor people for having the gall to need to be careful with their money. and if you are genuinely only posting your fundraiser to tumblr, like. im sorry, but you need to anticipate not reaching your goal and prepare accordingly. theres a reason the last big scam scandal people talk about actually getting the money is like. all-or-nothing era, as a website none of us have the funds to make that kind of thing happen anymore or the security to risk it. a fundraiser not meeting its goal on here is not a personal sleight against whoever made it, its just how life goes sometimes. and it's unfair and it sucks and we should help however we can, but. sometimes you just arent able to help someone else, and continuing to feel responsible serves only to torture yourself. and blaming OTHERS serves only to move that guilt from yourself off onto another person. i imagine that has to be where a lot of the vitriol comes from, is people who cant afford to donate more getting pissed at people they see as having the funds but choosing not to share them, but again, sometimes you just are not able to achieve the goals you set out towards, through no fault of the specific parties involved.

people on tumblr choosing to buy groceries rather than potentially donate to a scam are not your enemy and are not the ones facilitating a genocide. we're all victims of the same horrific system, the question is just how that system manifests its influence on each of us. poverty kills just as thoroughly as a bomb. everyone is just doing their best to survive, and as much as we like to pretend that everyone should be a perfect selfless angel that puts others before themselves no matter what, humans are by default a selfish species, and it is a lot easier to say what youd do in theory than actually do it. and there's a reason you have to put on your own oxygen mask before helping the person beside you, youre of no help to anyone if youre too dead to do anything.

Hey so do you know where I could find this acting manifesto of yours?

I usually try and avoid publicly expressing my opinion on things like this but I recently saw some people commenting negatively on his acting again and I’m starting to doubt my own judgement.

I’ve truly never had a huge problem with his acting but I keep seeing people using really harsh words to describe his prior and current work. I genuinely think he’s doing a good job in THK but these comments sometimes make me think I’m missing something.

That conflicts with the fact I know at least three people he worked with on THK specifically had positive things to say about his acting too and I trust people who do this for a living to know what they’re talking about for the most part.

I guess I’m just looking for your post to have a more detailed perspective of the opposite viewpoint to “he’s a terrible actor” to help affirm some of my thinking so I’m more confident in my positive opinion of his acting.

Overall though I’m enjoying everyone in this show but for me I’m specifically enjoying the four mains the most. Kudos to them honestly.

(Disclaimer: Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion but the harshness of some of the opinions took me off guard a little.)

fuck these people. they don't know shit.

(mind you. this manifesto was written based on his performance in just star in my mind and hidden agenda. his 2024 shows weren't even out at that point. in fact, thk hadn't even been publicly announced yet. you can see from the start there is talent in this boy if you actually know what to look out for)

bonus: i rant some more in the last reblog

"why are you so worried abt random accidents, stuff like that rarely ever happens" well you see I'm too disabled to ever evacuate a situation on my own, so I'd rather be a safety advocate now than become a statistic later

Uranus and earth being a couple in mythology is indeed pretty funny but have you seen the myth where uranus literally LOST HIS NUTS and that's was what made venus (or in the case aphrodite) come to be? lol

Poor Uranus. No pecans, no macadamias, no filberts... nutless. Nothing. (a sequel of sorts to this ask)

okay time to catch up on Honkai's story again—

Henry VI Parts 2 & 3 (1983) Screencaps and Rambles Extravaganza

because unfortunately for everyone this is how I process my feelings and I have so very many of them right now.

*reverently clutching my blurry hard-won 80s vhs quality screencaps with 3 pixels and a dream between them to my chest* my treasures.... (there's some really good lighting in this, which helps a lot with the quality being quite so. as it is lol)

the change in york's expression before and after clifford shoves and unleashes some macroaggressions on richard is. everything to me. clifford should have just made his peace with his god right then and there probably

my favourite mean girls power couple

cackling at the way edward expertly and gently reels richard back in before he can kill clifford jr. on the spot and the parley with him and subtly hands him over to warwick fhdskja. ultimate fuckboy or no he IS an older brother it cannot be denied

this little instinctive comforting gesture of richard's when edward collapses after hearing their dad is dead, all the brothers together before everything goes to hell............................ the love WAS there once and it makes everything so much worse and so much more painful and fucked up and awful down the line

power couple part 2. any excuse to fall to your knees in devotion before your rightful king etc. I suppose, he does it at least three times fjskfhas. also the fact that warwick is so tall that he still reaches york to like the shoulder from down there fhdskja

putting the rest under a readmore to save people's dashes and perhaps some of what little remains of my dignity

bear with me here this'll take some explanation but I just. the way richard is placed in frame while york is alive

(you don't even need the 'richard hath best deserved of all my sons' line in this one, the cinematography lets you know he's so clearly their father's favourite all on its own haha, whenever they're on screen together he's pretty much always the closest to him out of the brothers or aligned with him in the image somehow. safe under his wing, as it were.)

vs. how richard appears in frame after york is dead

(special shoutout to this one. you may spot all one pixel of him tucked between warwick and edward up in front there lmao)

he puts his hand on his sword the moment warwick mentions their father's death and keeps it there. if you even care.

literally pushed into the background or the fringes, operating on his own far more than as part of the group when he does come forward, starting to come adrift both by his own choice and from how the others start to move around him like he isn't there, and increasingly isolated either way. the humble beginnings of something that's going to turn into something very very ugly one day. cinnamonatography or whatever (I say with a hollow attempt at ironic distance as if I'm not so painfully earnest about this I can barely breathe.)

which also plays into how effectively it's shown visually that the strength of the yorkist faction, the moments when they're most dangerous and powerful, is when they're acting in unity, which happens at times even after york is gone -- without him the center cannot hold, but even around the corpse of such a star leftover gravity sticks around for a while:

these motherfuckers are pack hunters jesus christ. (fortunately for everyone else they are also messy backstabbing bitches who'll destroy themselves and each other unaided without a tender fatherly hand to keep them from trying to murder each other for their turn to play on the x-box, otherwise they'd be invincible lmao. warwick's sole mistake was to not take york literally when he told him that you cannot turn your back on those boys for five fucking minutes. send someone else to france warwick you need to be ready to hold these kids back by the scruff at a second's notice. oh no he's too tall he can't hear us from down here WARWICK -- )

richard is the only one to keep his full armour on for all of the first half of the play, even after the fighting is over for now. in case you were wondering :) (love george's slutty little armour vest look going on here tho I must say. it makes no sense but neither does any of the costume design in this one so that's fine don't worry about it (okay! yay!))

owie owie owie owie this scene just won't let me go I keep thinking about it every moment of the day. it's like a wound in my heart that never heals.

anyway if I have to suffer the mortifying ordeal of finding myself a wholehearted yorkist for the duration of the ESH AITA reddit thread twice retold chapter of english history that is this adaptation of shakespeare's henry vi plays, I may as well shitpost about it to compound my humiliation and give vent to my Emotions. when york died in this I literally went 'NOOO give him back!!! :'(' out loud and that's probably partly down to me being pathetic but it's also just a really really good take on the play and Art is so good and important actually thank you and goodnight

After Kirk decided to retire from Starfleet a few years before TWOK, I wonder what it was that brought him back just to teach at the Academy, especially since he found it so miserable.

Was he brought back for some mission and then he just accepted the teaching position because it, at that moment, felt like being closer to the real thing? And after all, he did enjoy being an instructor in his youth (but I believe that was a mandatory period for those in the command path)

bonus thing i cherish in this shot is that it's the one time it's immediately noticeable that her hair length is uneven....let's go Cutting One's Own Hair (With Or Without A Mirror) look havers irl (b/c of cutting one's own hair with or without a mirror, maybe) & even when it's recreated on purpose like so

The analysis is queued up for tomorrow morning! And ohhhh my god I had such an epiphany writing this one. Like I think I might’ve figured out the why behind the Upside Down time fuckery (not sure about the how, but ah well, I’ll save that for the sciencey people on here!)

[cryptosexologist]

reacting SO badly to the last third of HnK is really funny to me in retrospect because of how much it endeared me to the series in general. that shit pulled a homestuck, if it was uncomplicatedly good i’d probably not be as invested in it still
