One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.
#I'm not calling the characters ugly btw#i don't believe any one can be ugly#i do not care for beauty standards and thus i don't rank people based on how “ugly” or “pretty” they are#but the characters in DE do not meet the conventional beauty standards and look like actual people with unique faces#and thus would be considered “ugly”#and that is so important to me. i go feral whenever media represents how people look like in real life and not how they look like in the#fictional parallel universe where everyone is a model and where a majority of the movies take place#because irl you don't have to be a model to be desirable#the most attractive man in any video game I've ever played has a receding hairline and a big nose and thick glasses and a small chin#and not only is representing realistic people. just good. in general. but it makes the character of Dolores Dei stand out so much more which#works for the game so well. she's barely human. she's a deity- a myth- a legend. the only version that exists of her now is the one with#glowing lungs. she's perfectly beautiful because she's inhuman. the fact that everybody else looks so human only highlights how inhuman she#has become yk?#if everyone was as conventionally attractive as her then she wouldn't stand out. we wouldn't get why she's so special.#disco elysium#disco elysium analysis#media analysis#beauty standards#this is only one aspect of how this game portrays real people btw. as someone interested in character design this just immediately stood out#to me#the first time i noticed it was when i first met garte and the second time was when i met ruby because neither are conventionally desirable#oh my fucking god the nerds who complain about a woman with a model face having body hair in a video game would perish if they played this#mainstream game/movie studios catering to western masses could never

more ready player one cherik au ideas
erik is pretty much a complete loser irl and online and barely has any friends until he meets charles at the first trial and joins his online friendgroup (aka fc xmen) when he gets the first key
everyones avatars are more based on their comic looks so they all look a bit silly but its the oasis so its okay
thats pretty much it so far my brain is slowly building some kind of a story but it hasn’t gone into details yet
i dont even know if im gonna write this i just gotta dump my ideas here otherwise they’ll be sent to the void
#people who write fanfics are crazy (in a good way)#dont know how you guys manage to do this#thisll probably be more based of the movie than the book as i have no patience to reread it all just to get ideas#honestly if the oasis was real i would gladly just experience any movie this halliday guy has seen#thatd be cool#if it wasn’t all just based in 80s-90s stuff i would gladly live through xmen films#be charles xavier or something#altough i’d having magneto just hovering over my shoulder the whole time so i might leave those gays be#imma just be one of those oc inserts or something#i’ve definitely noticed my spelling and grammar is terrible#anyway erik falling in love with bald charles and then falling in love with charles with hair#raven should put charles avatar as bald as a prank but then he keeps it cause he finds it funny#trying to think if they should have mutations irl or not#cause idk how well superpowers would work in an online multiplayer game#especially telepathy#cherik#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#x men#magneto#professor x#ready player one au#cherik au

people in the archaeology subreddit digging up the corpse of indiana jones again for the annual discourse. somehow seem to have forget the most important scene in the film if you’re critiquing his status as an academic
#like??? what????????? why bother discoursing about whether he’s an ethical practitioner if you don’t even remember we have MULTIPLE scenes#of him teaching. at least one student brings up the contemporary equivalent of a field school. he DID do normal archaeology#that’s just not what the movies are about bc they’re based more on pulp adventure novels#i’m so tired of the usual ‘he’s a bad archaeologist’ argument from people who don’t actually know a) what archaeology looked like in the 30s#or b) that dr jones is actually *remarkably ahead of his time* on certain topics. like not fuckin stealing grave goods#his real world contemporaries were openly engaging in the trafficking of artifacts if anything indiana jones is giving them a BETTER#reputation what with the actually not being a fascist. and at least nominally respecting local/descendant communities (depending on which#movie/writer we’re talking about)#if you know nothing about the history of the field you do NOT get to critique it#‘at least the people in jurassic park were actually paleontologists’ YEAH . IN THE 80S. INDIANA JONES IS A PERIOD PIECE#HES CHRONOLOGICALLY ACCURATE FOR MOST THINGS AND WILDLY ANACHRONISTIC *IN A BETTER WAY* FOR OTHERS

youtube ads becoming first one 5-second ad then two 5-second ads in a row or one 15-second ad then a million unskippable ads in the middle of videos instagram quietly inserting one ad in-between every 5 or 10 ig stories then 2 in-between 4 ig stories not to mention the new reel- and explore page ads. a quiet tumblr ad banner at the top of your dash then photo ads in-between posts then video ads then video ads in-between every 3 or 5 posts that play audio automatically while youre trying to read a textpost. the most popular, paid subscription, news apps adding ads between their articles, then in articles, then paywalling new articles further with a new "news +" subscription and putting ads in those as well. once every 15 tweets there being an ad, then every 5, then theres also an ad if you scroll to the replies. you cant look at tweets without logging in anymore, theres just no option for anon scrolling. facebook ai mining on instagram, facebook ai profiles hyping up ai generated photos im fucking going insane ai temu ads and gallery app ads and printer app ads and higher subscriptions while still seeing ads and i cant fucking do this anymore!!!!! its fucking shameless and worst of all its silent and nobody talks about how half the things we see anymore are fucking ads and we dont own a single thing we pay for and companies can just randomly raise their prices through the roof and nobody says anything about it
#im going insane???#we dont own anything movies are digital every fucking app and software i subscription based AND THEN THEY HAVE THE FUCKING GALL#TO PUT ADS IN THOSE AS WELL!!!!#20 bucks a month for a software that i have to watch banner ads on! its fucking insane#the entire world is owned by four corporations and ads are fucking everywhere i feel like i see more ads than posts nowadays#and it didnt use to be like this!!!! thats the insane part to me!!!!!!#i started social media in 2014 10 years ago and there wasnt a single ad on instagram#but the worst is that nobody fucking complains about it . everybodys like oh its bad that netflix isnt allowing people-#-outside of one wifi to use one account even tho theyve paid for it for like. two weeks#and then we go back to normal. no complaining no yelling no real backlash! and everybody keeps their subscriptions#im going insane genuinely i dont know what the fuck#rant#vent#anti capitalism#ads#advertisement#advertisements#advertising#social media#instagram#tumblr#facebook#twitter#UGH

Some days prior to the Poughkeepsie Regatta, a few of the boys decided to make an impromptu visit to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s mansion, conveniently located on the river. They had been hoping to meet the President, but were instead eagerly ushered in by a young man about their age. He introduced himself as Franklin Roosevelt Jr., insisting they call him Frank.
Frank rowed on Harvard’s JV team, but had just returned from Connecticut where they lost in their annual race against Yale.
“He ushered them into the president's library and sat them down and began talking rapidly about rowing and about coaches. As he talked, the boys gaped at the room.”
While the boys gaped at the room, looking around at all the books and knick knacks and such, I bet Bobby was gaping at Frank like I mean come on, just look at him—
And Bobby suddenly finds himself very flustered because this very hot, 6’ 4” man who happens to be the President’s son is openly flirting with him. Frank’s so charismatic and charming that Bobby can’t help but get all shy and bashful because how often does someone show such blatant interest in him. And Frank is leaning into his space a little as he asks more about Bobby’s personal life, and his eyes light up and then very quickly darken when Bobby mentions wanting to attend law school.
And Don is Not a Fan™️ like he’s suddenly bottling up all of this intense amount of jealousy because how dare this man touch Bobby’s arm like that. But he can’t do anything about it because he hasn’t worked up the nerve to talk to Bobby about his feelings yet, so he’s forced to watch Frank and his bedroom eyes subtly try to coax the coxswain to go somewhere private.
#bobby always the one flirting and never knows what to do when someone starts flirting with him#obviously probably movie!verse but still#obviously movie verse not based on the real people#I was NOT ready for Frank to be that hot like goddamn#I need more jealous Don in my life#the boys in the boat#bobby moch#boys in the boat#boys n boats#someone write this please 🙏#Bobby and Don#FDR JR#Poughkeepsie

oh my god I know like it sounds weird to say this when it's just avatar but the original show has aang go back to the southern air temple to show katara and sokka his home only to find evidence of the genocide of his people and the loss of his loved ones and it's quiet until you see his grief and his rage but you just see the aftermath a hundred years later and the netflix adaptation makes it feel like they wanted it to be a cool action movie with an epic scene showing the fighting and running of the airbenders like that side by side with aang running away and it's like ??? okay it's "darker" congratulations I can see that's what the goal is based on the differences in firebending and early on screen deaths go and focus on every bit of violence for the audience's lazy sadistic pleasure instead of any of the characters personal narratives especially the women that can all be taken right out + the discovery of different places all over the world in the earth kingdom and outside of it. put everything in omashu so they don't get to meet people and see the diversity of the world and each town and SEE what life is like for them under war and have these experiences with all these people build up to something bigger at the end
#changing the order of when the audience discovers new information in favor of a more linear storytelling was a bad idea#it came off as so bizarre like adding in these types of scenes so that it's just cooler and more intense#when the original show had 20 min long episodes 20 episodes per book not much time was needed. but so much was missed in the live action?#because they had to add and drag out things like this that just feel wrong#and it's not very good every event in the live action felt very smushed together like no scene stood out no contrast just the same level#of flatness all around you dont even get a chance to really feel anything about what happens on screen#when everything happens so surface level and without much real emotion it just happens so something can happen after that and so it can end#it felt like watching a bad movie everything that gave the cartoon any meaning was taken away#adding in that weird airbenders genocide scene towards the beginning but leaving out katara's inspiration of haru and those earthbenders#was it not cool enough did it take too much away from sokka's romance plotlines#one of the most important book 1 katara episodes#it felt like the natla script was written by people who are writing from memory based on what they watched 10 years ago

The brainworms are winning, clearly (Patreon)
#Doodles#Osmosis Jones#Ozzy#Drix#Thrax#As if it wasn't bad enough when it was just Doran oh no - I knew I'd want a separate tag for this in earnest at some point ahhhh#Damned#Alright sure lol good enough - I'll go back and edit the tag in a bit#I just can't help it wahh the Institute is such a fun and interesting setting it scratches my brain in Such a way#It's been really fun poking around to see who's there but there are some who I'm like ''Why wasn't [x] there? :0''#Some make sense lol like characters that didn't exist/come into the cultural vogue until after the game started or ended#Totally understand that - and it's still really fun to speculate how they'd react! Very enjoyable!#But others - like the above - I'm just like But they existed before the game and are such fun characters! Why!#Neverminding that Osmosis Jones was yet another box office flop in an impressive lineup of likewise siblings oof lol#It'd be such a good movie......if only (lol) Like I love it! But yeah it's still pretty rough haha#Gosh if the animated sections aren't beautiful tho hh <3#The show's even rougher - like why choose a nearly PG-13 movie to turn into a Y-10 (at the Most) cartoon? The tone shift is so jarring lol#So yeah! Why weren't these characters a more popular draw five years later! That's practically still pop culture! Lolol#No I'm well aware I'm probably The entire pool of people interested in this crossover but hey - I offer >:3c#Obviously I had to have Ozzy judging me for subjecting him to the Institute - this is what you get for being a fave Oz <3#Thrax is All over him (a criminal) and Ozzy (a cop) being equalized in the same prison uniform lol - I mean yes but actually no#It's an escape game of course he wants out#I have way too much fun making ''real person'' profiles wagh I've already made a bunch of backstory stuff helpppp#The names are pulled around from the various voice actors/real names based on character names which was Quite fun#And of course Oz had to get punched :) That meme's not completely dead yet is it lol#But really it was just fun posing ahhh I'm really rather pleased with it <3 Excited to scene-stitch that one together too#Drix fussing over Oz is my favourite ahhhh yesss <3 <3#Can you tell that hunched-over Thrax was my first pass? Here's a hint - he doesn't have a burned finger there!#I wrote up his profile after that one and forgot to add it afterwards haha but yeah! Just barely touched on in-fic so far lol#And then him in his proper clothes.... Look all I'm saying is that I was uniquely primed in my media diet to enjoy Vargas lol

got a new lego set today and ramsey was also playing with it crazy style
#also we watched the 2024 master ajd margarita and it was deranged#every russian movie i pick is like. well i can tell this would be crazy significant for people who are like entrenched in russian culture#but for a person like me eho is an ignorant american its just like. what in the hell could be going on#they honestly did make some cool choices to make it more based on bulgakovs life?? which was neat but like. well it had nothing to do with#the book i loved. and the whole movie is a play inside of a book i side of a book inside of a real life inside of ancient times inside of a#dream inside of a book. or something of that nature

i keep getting tiktoks of these younger gen z kids referencing a time they did something relating to fandom in public and now they're embarrassed by it and everytime i see one i sit there thinking over all of middle and high school and having genuinely 0 moments that i feel embarrassed by, like i definitely did a lot of shit these kids would be embarrassed by but i think these are all just really fucking funny
also photographic evidence of the kinda kid i was. these are from 2014/15 when i was in 8th grade
-desolation row one shot(still on wattpad gerard way/reader smut)
-twerk it on (mcr crack fanfic no longer on wattpad but i have another fic in my library called twerking in taco bell which definitely ALSO used for my reading log)
-frank iero must die(a serial killer/assassin frerard fic, still on wattpad)
-hair (really vague maybe a phanfic? nowhere in my wattpad library rip)
my binder i used in 7th grade i had a blue one that looked pretty similar to this for 8th grade but idk where it went, also the parts i scribbled out are my full legal name i had written on it. i wrote it normally and then the big spot is where i wrote my name REALLY BIG in elysian code from the vladimir tod books. also the lines are from when i used an exacto knife to cut up some papers and forgot that my binder was underneath
in conclusion yall can now see why im so shameless about talking about shigaraki the way i do
#base line i started sobbing IN THE MIDDLE OF MATH CLASS and had my phone taken away bc i was watching the mv for the ghost of you by mcr#i went to school with cat whiskers#me and my bsf made a presentation about an imaginary trip to the planet uranus and we filled it with so many memes and butt puns she started#laughing so hard she couldn't breathe and i had to do the entire presentation alone and we got a standing ovation#my 8th grade science teacher hated us#another time same class we had an assignment where we had to make a bunch of words with the periodic table and we did shrek and lucifer one#after another and when we turned it in our teacher read it and immediately told us to leave💀💀#same class again different friend we saw NA on the periodic table and started singing nanana by mcr and got sent out of class bc we started#laughing so hard we couldn't breathe#high school i would eddie munson on the lunch tables#found that aspect of eddie so relatable#filmed youtube videos at my old hs that STILL EXIST ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL#id honestly have them up for anyone to see but my old bsf found them extremely embarrassing and she thinks i deleted them#i used to go to school with a whole library in my backpack like the entire pjo/hoo series of unfortunate events harry potter etc#my backpack had a bunch of doodles on it and it said battaco big asf and it was an inside joke with my friends for years bc of it#i also used to go to school dressed as frank iero/gerard way/etc#pete wentz eyeliner#larped with the anime club in this little corner outside of the library bc it had a bunch of trees and a 6 ft long stick that we took turns#holding and screaming YOU SHALL NOT PASS‼️‼️#the middle school book club had movies days on fridays and when people tried to vote to watch the lighting thief movie i stood on my chair#and spent so long bitching about how bad it was that we had to do the movie the next monday bc people needed to go home and the librarian#could not stop my righteous fury#a teacher assaulted me trying to get me to stand for the flag so i dead weight dropped on top of him and then ran around the class to stay#away(real hard to do in a small music classroom) and when i got tired of that i beat him up a little and i didnt get in trouble bc he was#really embarrassed i got the drop on him(bc i had tiddies)#that man hated me for being trans#really got mad at me when the pledge started after that and id get up and salute while singing welcome to the black parade#was also genuinely bad at soccer that my teacher sent me off to other teachers when our class did soccer bc the only time i ever got the#ball i kicked it into the wrong goal#i got more stories but i ran out of tags :(

if anyone was wondering, i’m currently reading published RPF about F. Scott Fitzgerald for *checks notes* my job, so that’s how my life is going.
#i’m not getting PAID to do it unfortunately#but i am getting an absolutely insane emotional experience#and i’m only three chapters in so i’m sure there’s plenty more excitement to come!#the author CANNOT write dialogue for shit… he cannot emulate how real people speak and puts exposition dumps IN the dialogue#and his descriptions are clunky and could have used some more polishing#he’s not great at showing instead of telling#or like. he IS - but he’ll show and then IMMEDIATELY tell#which is just SO disrespectful to the audience imo#and/or the sign of a lack of confidence in the writer#so bad either way#and literally the reason i was annoyed about that one movie earlier#so like. 🤷🤷#at least the movie had better dialogue#but i think that’s mainly because [redacted] just says whatever the fuck he wants#i know this because i do programs the same way - i can spot a fellow vibes-based speaker easily#it’s good but also MASSIVELY distracting because it reminds me of myself so i get self-conscious 😂😂

They're finally giving us another big budget tornado movie (presumably) full of meteorological inaccuracies AND we've got both Anthony Ramos and a sexy storm chaser cowboy type with notes of real life mad lad Reed Timmer? I am going to see it in IMAX.
#i am a massive weather nerd don't look at me#twisters#so hyped watching this and seeing some reflections of IRL storm chasing innovations/techniques like drones and tornado intercept vehicles#like in the original movie Dorothy was based on a real life concept that was Hollywoodified#and now there seems to be at least some repeating of that in the trailer#if they make any nods to Tim Samaras or his work I will actually cry in the theater#i wonder if this movie will inspire another round of people to get into meteorology and related sciences 😭#Youtube

sometimes recall that Scenario of like "oh a stranger draws another stranger sharing a space with them & without their knowing & Drawn Stranger is like how flattering that you did that & i love your Beautiful Artistic Interpretation of me" which i hate so i was like what's the opposite of that. & i'm pretty sure i'm averse to like every aspect of it & the opposite is about strangers sharing space with consideration for that & like oh no its sickos using headphones, on they phones, reading. if direct verbal interactions happen (or eye contact, or nonverbal cues) it doesn't have to Transcend shit or be an inherent improvement over not interacting. but also the best opposite is like oh sorry i looked over your shoulder kind of or just indeed spontaneously glimpsed what you were drawing but i like your jellicle cats haunted house episode fanart. or i have a question about some technique or materials i see you using b/c i'd be interested in having that knowledge for myself & if this is a meetanything that's fine i guess but can be a limited as what it is strangers interaction for a minute which is no worse
#obviously also a scenario like on billions like oh amazing of you to have drawn me without my knowledge while i slept; Artist Bf#while i also happened to have my makeup on as always & be posed with such Aesthetic Worth(tm) b/c i'm so Above anything else#that even while unconscious i could not possibly look inelegant. & i will cherish this drawing. like both of you die challenge#also hilarious to throw back to the misogyny logic Primarily about like oh men have their Pure minds & souls vs their base bodies right#women's minds & souls being Lesser means they're considered the horney ones who ruin men's cerebral transcendence w/their sicko seduction#(which is them existing btw) like not at all like that Bitches Ruining My Life no nut november logic has gone away obviously lol#god wendy my special genius omniscient Art Boy was making such true worthy Abstract Paintings....real art#and then ohh wendy Ruins it with her wiles making him Draw From Life his Woman Portraits of Romance. thanks a lot#and then that art man's Spontaneous Expression Of Genuine Emotion arrrgh i Destroy the Canvases i pour Black Paint over it#is once more Real; Valuable Art. i hate billions lmfao like can we have been serious about anything for 5 seconds???#throw back to how Obviously Inferior people are if they'd like to frame a production cel from a scifi movie they like#and don't know what kinds of Fine(tm) Art(tm) they like. but mafee; worthiest of the three! you took an art history class!!#and there's winston indeed wearing headphones & wooing his crush with like. treating them like a person as he does anyway. eugh imagine#billions Could imagine like yeah if Winston did this like i drew you just now? look i painted you from memory? like ew barf you sicko#winston billions#not actually About Billions primarily but sure brought it up enough in the tags
