#part of it is the absurdity too

[daydreaminglifelesslove]

it’s incredibly sweet and mind boggling how joe hills and oli theorionsound seemingly met by fated chance and coincidental accident because of the hermitcraft x empires planned crossover, of joe hills spawning and ending close to where oli was coming from on empires season 2, of after the hermits getting back home after being trapped on empires — bringing the empires season 2 cast over via the opened rift, of oli on hermitcraft/streaming it on twitch getting himself accidentally killed in situations and needing anyone free online to help. that being joe, who kept helping and coming to oli when he got himself into situations and trying to keep him alive. and them outweirding and being funny chaotic guys and because oli was playing a bard on empires and is a guy who goes into song whenever irl when he wants, just them connecting and building a unlikely but extremely works well friendship for the while. and coming to the now, august of year 2023, of empires s2 being done, the rift in grians basement being closed to the multiverse of empires s2 before s2 was finished, joe hills a couple days ago on youtube stream minecraft chat messaging cubfan saying he misses oli - his bard, who he knows is in pirates smp now currently, and wants him back and how cub whose been stealing things for the museum should take a piece of the rift or somehow turn it on to work to bring oli back. also oli on twitter replying to joe hill’s tweet progress of his pinball machine he’s making on hermitcraft and wanting to play it. pls. get oli back on hermitcraft, somehow multidimensionally pull him back on, he wants to be on, joe hills misses him, please.

Part of what charms and compels me in Jeyne Poole's arc is her reaction to her predicament. All the female POVs in this book are dealing with a lot of gendered violence, and they all deal in different but dignified forms... Jeyne is not a POV character and she is absolutely not dignified lol. She cries and begs, she is utterly helpless. But unlike most women in this book who are utterly helpless, she survives. It's frustrating how fans refuse to celebrate that, simply because there is no glory in it.

Please consider

Mini!warwick Jinx

When Jinx get saved from death by Singed in s1, instead of just injecting her with Shimmer, he actually transform her into a werwolf like Warwick, but younger (so you get Warwick and his cub :3.) Because that’s been a proven method to stop dying people from dying apparently.

Silco now has to care for two wolves now. Because this did successfully make Warwick wake up and Silco and him have things to chat about. Whenever he truly become himself again I mean, since that’s no garantee XD

Meanwhile Vi lurks around ~ and is probably gonna get very confused

♥️ ((totally not baiting you for more Maria discourse))

Oh noes an ask about my controversial views on the most popular character with the most rabid fanbase~ and i cant help but respond to it~ such a tragedyyyy

❤️ Which character do you think is egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Mariaaaaaa. In fact her mischaracterization is so bad that if i didn't latch on her BEFORE interacting with the fandom she wouldve been one of those characters i would be aggressively disliking

I just... hate fandom maria lmao. On a vacuum she is fine (eh. Kinda. She just falls into the fandom typical stereotype of the only girl in the group being the sane one/cool one with no other depth than that or kissing adeline/ maybeeee sometimes being sad for the genocide/human experimentation), but when compared to what the game shows us she just makes me mad. Fandom maria is not canon maria. Its just a random girl with swords and most generic tropes about girl with swords.

Fandom maria cannot have flaws, actually, you see. She cannot be someone who was sucked i the cycle of brutality and gleefully continued it only to realize what she was doing AFTER the situation became unsalveagable and then jump ship trying to remedy it and making things worse for anyone. Nope! Cant have any of that! God forbid female characters to have actual depth. Maria NEEDS to be the cool female hunter that is the voice of reason. She NEEDS to be the cool girlboss that always opposes Laurence's wrongdoings to the point where you ask yourself why even she is the head of the research hall if every interaction she has with him is telling him you and your plans suck. Cant be complicit in anything ever.

You see! She was the token good member of the research hall for giving adeline the key! Nevermind that she experimented on adeline (and many others) to death.

You see! The fishing hamlet massacre was justified because they were mutated!

You see! She is actually the real hero while due to her regret she actively upholds the nightmare and makes innocent people suffer more!

This is not a character. Its a cardboard cutout that can be used only and only when making her kiss with adeline, whose fanon potrayal is also as shallow as a puddle and might as well be renamed to y/n.

And like. God. Swinging the bat against an hornet nest with this take but the fact that the people who are the most adamant, the most rabid, the most likely to harass people over this headcanon do that because in their mind is feminist makes me want to bash my head against a wall. Taking a complex female character that kinda sucked and removing all of her flaws to give a shiny unproblematic "girlboss" version of her isn't feminist at all. In fact its quite misogynistic.

Anyways, thanks for the ask! Got super salty with this one, but mariacourse gets my gears grinding (esp since she's my favourite character)

Ask game here

psst hi hello hi I see you liveblogging waiting for Godot a play I have been extremely normal and fine about (did an audio production for my high school final project thing). I would love to talk about it if you'd like to talk about it, it *is* absolute nothingsoup and I did not know about samuel's why are you letting women here tantrum however. It's my favorite boy of a horrid play creature. Would you enjoy talking about the horrid play creature any more or are you over it n would rather not,

oasjcx yeah i've been kinda looking at the wiki side by side when i did my little read-skim and there's an entire section dedicated to his objection of female actors playing any of the roles but especially vladimir and estragon.

(there's more to it im just. lmao. literally a court in rome in 2006 ruled that it was fine for women to play the roles but im like why the fuck did this go to court in the first place this is asinine odjcodjn i get having an artisitic vision which is why i said i "understand" surface level why he was adament about it but it just feels weirdly misogynistic for reasons unknown to anyone)

n e way, i suppose it depends? i don't mind talking about it generally--and hearing from someone who enjoys it could be enlightening about what there is to Enjoy about it--but i have always had a contempt for this play and i find it, generally speaking, insufferable. obviously, you Can always gain something out of anything you read and if you really sincerely try, you can put meaning to anything. so, i can see (if i squint) how people gain Things and Meaning from it, i just don't think its that intellectually stimulating.

so i really only say it depends based on how you feel about talking to someone who kind of hates it. like i don't hate it enough to Scream about it but i definitely don't like it at all even after this second read and even when we talk about it i still won't like it BUT i am definitely open to hearing your thoughts about it and what your opinions of it are because it'll definitely be more stimulating than me sitting here like :|

I really love equally 16-34-88.

It’s interesting the interchanging of the attitude of the fans and media towards William and Mitch.

For years, William was criticized over and over again. His relaxed and laid back attitude. His game. And his contract year back in 2018, he was in those trenches. And anyone who said anything positive about him was called crazy. And also, Don Cherry and his low key like discriminatory remarks due to the fact that he was Swedish and not the tough goon kind of playing style. He was also kind of the « guinea pig » (always changing line mates, and lines—and last year we saw that too, he’s always moving and they always throw new stuff) and he was , out of the core, the punching bag.

Now, Mitchy has always been criticized because of the toxic hyper masculine mindset of many hockey fans: he’s boyish and not buff and tough and all that jazz. But, he never got the hate and disrespect that he is getting at the end of last season and right now. He was however still well liked and respected and was often associated to Auston and scene in a more favorable light. He was second to Auston in the « it » boy factor. If this NHL documentary was made 2-3 years ago, Mitch would have been considered.

If you would have told that the Toronto fans and media would be all over William two seasons ago, I would have laughed. Like never would I have thought that I would see the day where people would actually give him credit and actually respect him and see the great things he adds. I love seeing that , but at what cost? For Mitch to become the punching bag of the team?

Fans are now saying how amazing Willy is and now figuring out that he is a good player and cool. But those same fans, a couple years ago were dragging him through the mud saying how useless he was and how he needed to get traded. And they liked Mitch. And they respected him. But now, you’ve « always hated Mitch Marner », « He should be traded ».

And I fear that it will always be this: once Mitch will be in the public’s good graces, something with William will happen and back to Mitch. It’s always been like this and will always stay this way. I don’t know why, I guess that’s the dynamic the city chose.

Even when it came to the core’s contracts: Willy and Mitchy always get this EXTRA je ne sais quoi. Like this extra negative energy and they can never satisfy anyone. They are greedy weaklings or whatever.

Also, I was thinking about Auston captaincy and it reminded me about how he was heavily considered in 2019 but the whole allegations and the story about him harassing this woman when he was drunk ruined that chance. And, people did criticize him and he got scrutinized. But, it kind of, I think, it fizzled away pretty quickly within the Toronto scene considering how heavy that story was. It doesn’t haunt him.

Now, if it was Mitch or William, people would bring it up and it would tarnish them way more. They could not escape it.

Sorry for the long ass rant, it’s just so funny and frustrating: if one gains recognition, the other one has to go down.

gonna start out by saying i don't think mitch/auston/other ppl weren't asked about the doc. i think they're way more private esp in a time that was gearing up for the playoffs, lol. and i think anyone with a brain right now knows mitch is still the second best player on the leafs. everyone just gets high off point totals alone from the prior seasons.. like i seriously saw ppl claiming matthew tkachuk would be drafted higher than auston after the 22-23 season, lolll.

i agree there's a divide about them in the coverage and i have a lot of thoughts of my own about this too. i'm not a longterm leafs fan beyond the past couple of years so i can't speak to how willy or mitch were treated before 2022 beyond old headlines/stuff i've seen but not lived through, but i've definitely been here for the shift about mitch lately and well...

i think some of it is by virtue of them playing the same position. everyone 'has an issue' with the core 4 (ive never understood who the fuck the core 4 even refers to.. sometimes its about the forwards, sometimes its about the leadership group flkdjsklf... whatever fits the current narrative ig) being all forwards and taking up the cap bc that's not 'proven', but it's such a bullshit excuse. i think if you look at their contract situations of the past, willy did a lot of things mitch is getting shit for now, lol. he did hold out into the season for money while mitch gets lambasted for using that as a negotiation tactic (which again.. i wasnt around for those negotiations and i get it was ugly to ... leak or use public perception or whatever but) on those first contracts. willy's father was also involved in his holding out in the most recent negotiations but that's not smth i see thrown around at him despite every comment under every post about mitch including paul's name without him so much as uttering the word contract, lol. it's frustrating to me to see the double standards at this point. i understand longtime fans have lived through shit about willy, but i have a hard time imagining the vitriol levels of right now being topped. it's just every single day about every single thing compounded by the fact that leafs fans have even less hope than they used to bc of how many years in a row they've lost.

i admittedly don't love them equally at all, and if anything, the fanfare about willy the past year has made me like him less. it's not really his fault but i do think he's slightly overpaid now (and watching ppl now claim mitch has to take willys deal or less is hilarious) and overhyped for what he actually brings. his playoff stats are being overrated too. since it all comes at a cost to mitch in the media, it's been way worse to watch for me and unavoidable that i come away feeling negative about him, lol.

i'd be interested to see if the tides ever do turn back toward willy now that he's bulked up, grown facial hair, proven he can score with an up-to-this-point useless clutchness. i doubt they will, but i have a hard time envisioning what's gonna happen after mitch signs an extension and who will become the scapegoat w players locked up for more years. the constant hate has to get exhausting at some point, right? like jflkjdsklf... but not with leaf fans so who knows what will happen. i can't really say what would have happened if mitch or willy were ever involved in scandal like that, but i think if it happened right now, ppl would be ready to forgive willy for anything and sentence mitch to death over nothing so. some people were blaming him for his own carjacking when it happened like.. lol. i can't see into the future but all i know is i'm VERY fed up with the way coverage and reaction is right now. and i don't even think the media is an accurate depiction of how a lot of fans feel about any of it, but if it's hammered home enough... idk.

My relationship with Bloodborne is so funny because there's so much I'm willing to let it get away with compared to dark souls and elden ring simply because it's doing cosmic horror

[katyspersonal]

*wakes up at 3 AM* One of the things that still haunt me from time to time even two years later is when Dr Eugene X was like "Katy lovebombed me with affection until she learned that I am friends with the person who stalks and harasses her, her friends and irrelevant fans!!!! 😳 Can't stand her fake ass!!!!" because

1) She really implied that was NOT a valid reason to distance from someone? 2) I've lost interest in her blog because it rebranded from multi-character to fixated on a crack ship I never got hooked on and because she kept trashing Edgar who is one of my favs 3) Even if I could've "effected" her blog because it's interactive, I had other things to worry about than dragging her blog into a shape I'd enjoy again with many asks 4) People can lose their energy and involvement for million reasons, they don't have to be personal 5) When HER friend (who earned nickname Choir Boy for treating everyone with his identity as a covenant and not as individuals and people) kept lovebombing MY friend until withdrawing all that affection and enthusiasm as soon as he learned she was friends with me it was definitely okay? Rules for thee but not for me much? 6) There were multiple instances of me reblogging posts involving Alfred (the stalker-harasser in question) and talking with people who liked them because no matter how much Loozzers believe I am a demon and their name or art in posts and reblog chains is a holy cross, I am better than that lol

Like, I know that "she tries to insert herself back into fandom by sending asks and commenting" is more hilarious, but that one is more vile. And I didn't even have the chance to properly tear her bad post apart because Anna betrayed us RIGHT the moment I was writing response and I forgot half of the things I meant to say because it's hard to stay brave with mental equivalent of a bleeding wound.

It's very true that intrusive thoughts are very often violent and traumatizing. But also just so you know this week I've been carrying an almond in my pants pocket because my brain managed to convince me that I will meet my soulmate while having it on me. I actually tried to throw it out today and couldn't. Got really scared that if I do lose it I will never ever find love. So now I guess me and this almond are bonded for life

hi lovely ana!! I don't want to bring this drama to your account, especially if you don't know/don't want to talk about it! but I was wondering if you have heard what is going on between taemin and jinki's companies? shawols on twitter are having a war but I can't find anything that actually explains what is going on so I thought I would reach out and ask the loveliest shawol (the a in shawol really stands for ana if you didnt know...😇) I know if you have any idea ! love u so much!

hi angel! first of all tysm for all your kind words i love u too 💘 now the first thing you gotta know is shawols on twt are literally always having a war (especially when taemin solo stans or those godforsaken people who are somehow ot4/ot3 stans (???) have an opportunity to shit on jinki/taemin) and it’s almost never that deep. so what happened is jinki (and perhaps also shinee) was supposed to perform at smtown 2025 which was sment’s 30th anniversary concert. this didn’t happen and only minkey attended, and they also cut only taemin out of an mv clip that was shown. this already got people heated, but then sment had the audacity to make a post about jinki’s performance cancellation that made it seem like jinki was the one who cancelled, and griffin’s ceo kinda lost it on ig and frankly overstepped (ie called out sment for the fact that their lack of organisation was the reason jinki’s performance was cancelled while they actually left his schedule free for it + hinted at other things that didn’t happen because of sment such as a shinee 2024 cb and shinee performance + winter single). now in fear of the potential repercussions regarding shinee (bc they’re all still signed to sment for group activities), shawols asked him to delete this post and he did. the main issue people have with this is that his ig post was reposted on some sort of forum where people turned on taemin saying he’s the one who’s been pushing against shinee group activities and people reported it to bpm and so taemin apologised on bbl and reassured everyone that he loves shinee (DUH!). this is of course however perfect material for these already insane people to be even more at each other’s throats. there’s more details to it but this is already so long LMAO i hope i managed to get the main points across!

Mom gave my sibling and I these Marvel-branded soap bars for fun. You know the kind—all “This soap is for MEN™️. The STARK CLEANSE and DIVINE STORM gives off THOR’S MUSK and RICH, WOODSY SCENTS with ZERO GRIT.”

Y’all—it smells exactly like “women’s soap.” The Stark one could be called “Sparkly Holiday Spice” and I’d never know the difference.

Sibling smelled the Thor one. “Do guys not know what lavender smells like???”

😂 Gender essentialism is so funny.
