Ohhh I have to hear your opinion on brick x jo!
Pretty much canon. They were practically built up as narrative foils to each other. Yin and Yang, if you will.
Jo's perpetual need to be the leader of the group despite not being very good at organising her team, paired with Brick's "need to be dominated" (thanks, Dawn) oftentimes outweighing his own natural leadership skills; Jo's fiercely independent and self-servient mindset contrasting with Brick's "leave no man behind" mentality; Jo's hypermasculinity 'disguising' her hidden wishes to be more feminine, compared to Brick's near constant emasculation and traditionally feminine interests. The list goes on.
Then they had their whole rivalry with the initial team swap, which gave Brick a chance to shine as A Leader instead of Jo's peon, proving himself as at least somewhat equal to her in terms of proficiency and ability. Plus, Brick seems to be one of the few campers Jo actually has some respect for!
Their dynamic was fun when it was allowed to play out, and it was nice to see a tomboy/non-feminine girl be treated with actual decency by the show; I love Eva to pieces, but she's only ever been done dirty by the show. I'd like to say that Brick was also treated well as an 'effeminate' guy, but. Well. He wasn't exactly treated kindly by the writers- I don't think I need to elaborate.
I'm surprised that the show itself didn't even hint at anything romantic between the two (I say 'hint', but Total Drama is never subtle enough for their 'hints' to be anything less than a banner on the screen that says "these two are into each other"), but I guess the narrative was too focused on the inferior Zoke plotline to squeeze in any Jo x Brick crumbs. And also, the show would never have let two GNC characters have a relationship, at least not pre-reboot.
I'd have to re-watch the series to give you a definitive answer but I think that just about sums up my thoughts.
#jo is (wo)mansplain manipulate and brick is malewife#brick x jo would've been canon if jo wasn't as butch as she is. that's my hot take.#also brick pees himself an uncomfortable amount of times. like. an UNCOMFORTABLE amount of times. as a ârunning gagâ.#all i'm saying is someone on the writing team has a Thing for piđ„#total drama#td brick#td jo#td jock#ophe rambling#replies

web tumblr keeps functioning less and less and idk if it's normal tumblr brokenness or some weird attempt at trying to stop me from using an adblocker. if it's the latter it's not gonna work i have a pi hole
#carter poast#pi hole is . like adblock but instead of a program on your browser it's on your network itself. forgive me i know nothing about technolog#but uhh yea there's no longer a number when there's new posts on my dash#also no number for when i get notifications#posts don't save as drafts as i'm writing them#sometimes when i like a post the like disappears (if you've ever gotten a double like notif from me i'm sorry)#also sometimes when i go to reblog it doesn't work#i can't reply to posts and when i try everything i typed vanishes#functioning website đ

Your imaginary number explanation only works on paper and not in a physical space. That's kind of what pisses me off about math - so much of it just isn't physically real and most of it is just used for tracking wealth/money/other capitalist bullshit. Math should be about efficient ways to count and measure, not arbitrary ways to put people into debt or make rich people seem even richer so they can scam other rich people.
I also think this is why so much of our understanding of physics is flawed - our counting system has less to do with the real world and more to do with social structures, so attempting to apply it to physics doesn't work.
I just. Maybe I'm just out of the loop bc I genuinely cannot process simple math equations but I really feel the reason for that is bc it's not grounded in a sense of reality OR in a mindset I can understand. Idk I'm autisitc and also there's a likely chance I have discalculia or some other learning disability/disorder that impairs math comprehension but seeing talk abt these kinds of math problem really make me think that I'm not the problem here.
enter at your own risk, you've been warned
ok oouuh i- Well. I think you seem to have a pretty cynical outlook on maths. To say that it's all about putting people into debt and letting rich people scam each other is just. That baffles me, to be honest. It's like saying language is all about constructing the most brutal insults possible and telling people to kill themselves. Like yeah a lot of people use language to do just that but that's just one tiny part of it. Maths isn't just about efficient ways to count and measure either, by the way, it's its own language, its own art form, a vast mountainous landscape with peaks we've yet to climb and valleys we've yet to discover. Forgive me for getting poetic but maths just isn't that... small, y'know?
I also disagree that this is why our understanding of physics is flawed. To be clear: It's flawed because we're idiots. We're idiots figuring out how our new toy works by throwing it around and pulling and squishing it randomly, because it didn't come with a manual and we have no idea what we're doing. Also, mathematics isn't our way of understanding physics, it's our way of building models that try and predict what would happen in certain circumstances. That might just sounds like I'm being semantic, but I think it's important to point out that nobody actually, truly, has any idea how physics really works. In fact, no ones ever even seen physics, when we make observations about the physical world, we're just seeing what physics does. So we use maths to make models that predict what we expect to see in our observations, and then we use those models and our observations together to try and infer the nature of reality. But we're all just guessing at that point, really.
So with all that in mind, to say that our understanding of physics would improve if only we had a better suited system of mathematics is. Well, I disagree. I also think that there isn't just some "better" system of mathematics out there waiting for us to discover it. I'm reminded of Gödel's incompleteness theorem. I encourage you to look it up on your own if you want, but basically, in any reasonable mathematical system there will always be true statements that cannot be proved. So there certainly are other systems of maths and we have looked into them. They do have their own upsides and downsides depending on how they work, but to say one system is better than another is, well, if I may use the language analogy again, it's like saying one language is better than another, when really it's just different sets of words and rules for us to say the same sentences.
So when it comes back to our current system of mathematics, it's not better or worse than any other system except for how widespread it is, just like how most of the world uses metric, a standardised system of maths makes it easy for anyone to communicate the same mathematical ideas to one another. But there are other systems of mathematics that become useful tools in more niche areas of maths for people to talk and understand those difficult topics.
With all that being said now too, I don't think our current system of mathematics, or any other system really, inherently has any less to do with the real world than it does with our social structures, or anything else for that matter. In fact, I don't think any system of mathematics inherently has anything to do with anything except itself. People didn't invent maths, we discovered it and then we invented ways of talking about what we learned. But numbers are their own thing. Their own abstract metaphysical objects. And they'd exist whether there was anything alive to know about them or not. Saying that there's a special way to use them to understand physics to me implies that numbers are what physics is, in a way, but like I said we have no idea what physics is. It just so happens that numbers are an incredibly useful way of talking about what physics looks like. But it's also incredibly useful to talk about our social structures. Frankly we're incredibly lucky that we've been able to saddle these concepts from abstract space, that our minds are powerful enough to reach out beyond the real to give us these tools of ideation that we can use for so many things.
You said that maths difficult for you because "it's not grounded in a sense of reality OR in a mindset I can understand" and I think those two things are the same problem in a way. I know I just did some big talk about how maths is really this abstract thing that isn't inherently connected to the real world, but we're all still the idiots I said we were, so a lot of maths does need to get grounded in reality for it to be reasonably comprehensible. And being able to ground a mathematical concept is often about shifting your mindset until you can see it at an angle you understand.
Like, you also said that my explanation only works on paper and not in a physical space, and I actually disagree! But I do think I get where you're coming from. I suspect you're thinking about numbers like physical objects, as in, the number 1 is like having 1 apple. So well of course, negative numbers kinda make sense right? I mean you can't just have less than 1 apple but you can get an apple taken away. But when you introduce i, it's like. What does that even mean? And you'd be right that it really doesn't make sense when you think of numbers as objects like that. But numbers aren't physical objects, we're just taught like that as kids, 1 apple, 2 bananas, 3 oranges, because they want us to build the association between the symbols (1, 2, 3) and the idea of that amount of something, of that value, of 1 being 1 apple or 1 step. But that's it, 1 isn't the apple, or the step, it's the idea of "oneness" or "singleness" and 2 is the idea of "doubleness", 3 is "tripleness" etc. It's difficult to even describe the idea of "singleness" without using physical metaphors, which is why we rarely ever do think about numbers in their purely abstract forms. And it's of course why we teach kids with apples and bananas, and why we go on to teach addition and subtraction by giving them more and taking them away. Even though, likewise, addition and subtraction isn't really about giving and taking. Now, I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't think about numbers as physical objects, or addition and subtraction as giving and taking. I'm just saying those are the initial ways we ground maths in reality in order to teach the concepts in the first place. And for a lot of people, this understanding of numbers is all they need for the rest of their lives. But the truth is there are different ways of understanding numbers and the operations we perform on them, and shifting your mindset on how these things work is an important part of being able to grasp more complex concepts, like imaginary numbers.
Finally, I said my explanation does work in physical space, how is that? Well if your understanding of numbers is that they're like objects, and that addition and subtraction is like giving and taking, then it doesn't work in physical space, no. What you need to do is think about numbers as a distance, and think about addition and subtraction not as giving and taking, but instead about direction. So what that means is that numbers don't tell you how much of thing you have, they tell you how far away from zero you are. Now when people talk about the number 1, what they usually mean is positive 1, like 1 = 0+1. (We just don't always draw the addition symbol out front.) So now if 1 is the distance away from 0, then positive + is the direction you travelled away from zero in. And when you write -1, the negative symbol isn't saying you have an "opposite 1" or that you're "taking 1 away", it's that you're travelling a distance of 1 in the negative direction, which is exactly the opposite of the positive direction. On a number line, this idea is pretty easy to comprehend since you only have two directions you can travel.
However, i is defined as being the square root of -1, which doesn't make much sense if you stick with the traditional understanding of what a square roots is, since it seems impossible to take the square root of a negative number. You can take take the square roots of +1, which are just 1 and -1, since obviously 1*1 and -1*-1 both equal 1. I'd also like to point out that taking the square root of any positive number works like this, you always get two solutions which are both the same distance away from zero in opposite directions.
(Square roots and square numbers are usually taught using, well, squares, introducing exponent notation where, say, 5*5 = 5ÂČ = 25, which is explained visually with how a square of side lengths 5 naturally has an area of 25, then that the square root is the opposite of this process and that 5 = â25. As you may expect, there are other ways of defining the notion of a "square" and "square root", and I'm sure that some of those ways can help make the existence of imaginary numbers become much more obvious, it's just, to be completely honest I don't know them.)
Now, if you do try to take the square root of a -1 anyway, and you just don't accept that it looks impossible, you'll have to invent a new number that explicitly has the property of squaring into -1, and since this new number won't be able to fit on the number line what ends up happening is that the number line gets extended into the second dimension, as in, it used to be a number line but now its a number plane. And if this sounds ridiculous let me remind you, this isn't the first time we've invented new numbers and extended the number line, again: negative numbers didn't always exist.
Also, remember how I said +1 and -1 are both square roots of +1? well +1i and -1i (or just +i and -i) are both the square roots of -1, and as you can see, they also sit a distance of 1 away from zero in opposite directions. In fact, â16 = +4 and -4, and in the same way the â(-16) = +4i and -4i. I know this likely won't really be able to help you understand, but hopefully it's nice to see how it is self consistent in a way and that it does kinda help to think about numbers like that.
or anything useful at least- i'm no teacher i just like talking about this stuff:> fhsdkjhs
#viciously holding myself back from talking about the unit circle and more trig stuff and how e and pi are involved augahaugahuagh#and also from mentioning that like. antimatter exists. you literally can get -1 apples but that's so not the point fhsjdhks#oH ALSO (i) does have a use in physics too like it's used in a ton of electrical engineering it's not just a pure maths thing it's real#askmuck#maths moment#no joke i started writing this post hours ago. i literally got on my computer just to reply to this cause i knew it'd be a while lmaofdhkjs#ok but i. i think that's it. ouh.... i think i can finally post it ffdsgfks

Yo!
Pas de soucis, tu peux rĂąler sans problĂšmes ici!
L'artbook sort le 18 - vendredi prochain! Et normalement, si Amazon ne me fait pas défaut, je pourrais l'avoir entre lundi et mercredi.
Il y avait une version collector avec une image plus détaillée (avec tous les personnages!) aussi disponible, mais comme elle n'est pas à la vente sur Amazon, ben... je l'ai pas prise lol
Ah ça reddit... Je pense que ça dépend des sous et je ne veux pas trop catégoriser les utilisateurs, puisqu'au final je pense que chaque "sous" a un public dédié, mais parfois c'est vraiment le 18-25 de JVC, avec encore plus de personnes lamentables
(je crois qu'un type m'a dit que je ne devais pas ĂȘtre considĂ©rĂ© comme un ĂȘtre humain parce que j'avais osĂ© suggĂ©rer que rendre les tests de paternitĂ© systĂ©matiques Ă chaque naissance c'Ă©tait une dĂ©pense inutile pour la sĂ©cu juste faite pour flatter l'ego de certains messieurs qui n'ont pas envie de passer par la case judiciaire s'ils ont vraiment un doute sur "leur" bĂ©bĂ©. J'ai bien rigolĂ© hahaha.)
Et c'est marrant parce que pour Unicorn Overlord, il y a tellement de personnes, en tous cas de le fandom Fire Emblem, qui ont chiĂ© sur le dernier opus de la sĂ©rie (Engage) en utilisant des arguments foireux comme du "Ă©videmment l'avatar est aimĂ© de tout le monde les persos n'ont pas de profondeur et sont obligĂ©s de l'adorer" en se gargarisant sur UO - alors que ce n'est pas le mĂȘme de jeu/genre de jeu/type, mais ils voulaient juste faire une comparaison foireuse - et au final, je suppose qu'on retrouve ces mĂȘmes personnes faire du "self insert" avec Alain, et des tiers lists de waifu, mais attention, si tu leur dis que leur intĂ©rĂȘt du jeu est simplement basĂ© sur les Ă©lĂ©ments empruntĂ©s aux "dating sims", ils vont s'offusquer et rĂąler :)
Les commentaires c'est vraiment du... enfin, tu en as fais la douloureuse expĂ©rience, mais je pense que ce qui m'a le plus emmerdĂ© c'est les posts/commentaires essayant d'expliquer pourquoi Rosalinde est trop bien, et en gros, on reprend les vieux clichĂ©s de "ouah une elfe chocolat c'est gĂ©nial je l'ai waifu-Ă© direct!" enfin, merde quoi, il n'y a que moi que ça choque ces qualificatifs des annĂ©es 50s ou c'est encore une autre bizarrerie culturelle outre-atlantique (je ne sais pas quelle est la nationalitĂ© majoritaires des personnes qui postent dans ce sous, mais si c'est la mĂȘme chose que pour les sous de Fire Emblem, l'Oncle Sam est majoritaire!) qui fait que ce genre de "dĂ©signation" est mieux acceptĂ©e qu'ici...
Je pense qu'on se rejoint lĂ -dessus, le cĂŽtĂ© harem/dating sim des jeux de stratĂ©gie est franchement chiant, surtout quand il prend le pas sur l'Ă©criture et la caractĂ©risation des personnages - au moins dans UO ce n'est pas systĂ©matique, Ummels (et Raenys? Ou je les confonds?) mĂȘme si elle reçoit l'anneau, retourne auprĂšs de Scarlett. Pareil pour Berengeria, mais quand ça existe je trouve ça franchement moche, shipping googles ou pas, on ne m'enlĂšvera pas l'idĂ©e que le couple entre Alain et Virginia est typiquement Ă©crit, fait et pensĂ© juste parce qu'il faut qu'Alain puisse se mettre en couple/donner son anneau Ă tout le monde! - mais alors quand en plus le fandom (surtout redshit) ne se focalise que sur l'aspect harem pour ensuite s'autocongratuler sur le "oui mais j'aime ce jeu tu vois il est tactique et il y a de bons persos" alors que justement, il ne discute que trĂšs peu des persos, c'est franchement bof.
Je ne sais pas si tu as tentĂ© de lire des fics, mais il y en a pas mal en mode "Alain et son harem" alors que bon, je pense qu'il y a matiĂšre Ă faire autre chose, mĂȘme si au final les gens Ă©crivent ce qu'ils veulent et si je ne suis pas contente, ben j'ai qu'Ă Ă©crire lol.
A vrai dire, c'est mon premier jeu Vanillaware et c'est vrai que le design "boing boing" m'a vraiment rebutée au début - je me suis mise à y penser de façon ridicule et ça m'a permis de tenir, mais enfin c'est vrai qu'en tant que joueuse, je sais que ce genre de choses n'est pas pour moi et je me demande bien pourquoi VW a besoin de faire appel à ce genre d'artifices alors que leur design/sprite art est franchement trÚs beau et trÚs détaillé.
Est-ce que c'est fait pour attirer les afficionados de la main droite? J'en sais rien, mais c'est vrai que ça m'attriste un peu, parce que pour pouvoir jouer Ă ce jeu, ben il faut quand mĂȘme avaler certaines couleuvres qui ont de plus en plus de mal Ă passer.
C'est aussi pour ça que j'ai pris l'artbook puisque apparemment, il y aura aussi des designs et illustrations des personnages dans leur, selon Google Trad "private clothes", et j'ose espĂ©rer qu'on ne parle pas de slips, mais de vĂȘtements de la vie "civile" et non les armures qu'on voit lorsqu'on utilise les unitĂ©s - comme l'illustration de couverture (Railanor a des vĂȘtements! Morard porte une tunique assez large pour ne plus se balader torse nu! Melisandre porte une robe longue!) - comme petit lot de consolation en mode, s'il faut mettre des fesses et des seins qui rebondissent pour titiller les joueurs, au moins les dĂ©veloppeurs ont envisagĂ© que ces personnages peuvent mettre des vĂȘtements dans la vie "civile" qui n'est, certes, pas celle du jeu, mais enfin, que - je sais que j'en parle beaucoup mais c'est la seule perso fĂ©minin dans sa classe - Railanor est peut ĂȘtre pensĂ©e comme Ă©tant quelque chose d'autre qu'une paire de seins.
AprĂšs je ne me leurre pas, ces designs (jambes Ă l'air!) attirent un certain public et vendent, Ă tel point que maintenant, c'est devenu mainstream.
Je jouais jusqu'Ă peu Ă Fire Emblem Heroes, et franchement mĂȘme les lanciĂšres elfes sont plus "modestes" que certaines unitĂ©s qui sortent de ce jeu, donc je pense que j'y suis, malheureusement, habituĂ©e.
Pour le fanservice, je suppose que pour les personnes attirĂ©es par les hommes il y Alain qui se balade sans manches - le kink aisselles n'est pas mon truc mais Ă ce qu'il parait ça attire certaines personnes? - et les mercenaires/landskenecht (Magellan et Jeremy quoi) qui ont des gros bras avec des gros muscles pour ceux/celles que ça intĂ©resse, mais on est absolument pas au niveau de Scarlett qui a des jiggle physics digne du flan de mes 5 ans, de Berengeria qui ne met pas de culotte et le fait savoir (mĂȘme dans la couverture de l'artbook il y a un plan sur ses fesses enfin merde quoi :() et les bottes Ă talons cuirassĂ©es de Virginia/IlĂ©nia.
Si je peux faire une comparaison, c'est un peu comme aller dans un restaurant connu pour ses hamburgers, en commander un et juste manger des frites - sûr elles sont bonne, mais enfin, la pub et le restaurant, à la base, c'est pour les burgers.
Donc mĂȘme si je trouve le "sprite work" trĂšs beau et les designs de paysage ou, en gĂ©nĂ©ral, les Ă©lĂ©ments en 2D supers, ben Ă la fin, ce ne sont que des frites puisque l'Ă©lĂ©ment d'appel principal du produit, ben ça reste Yahna et qui se dĂ©hanche ou Scarlett qui rebondit Ă chaque action.
Et c'est super chiant, parce que Miriam/Monica, ChloĂ©, les prĂȘtresses, Hilda et Frau ont montrĂ© qu'ils peuvent faire des designs sans utiliser leur main droite, et ça reste quelque chose de trĂšs rĂ©ussi, mais Ă cĂŽtĂ© de ça on a encore les lanciĂšres elfes, le speedo des jumelles elfiques, Dyna qui ne porte, ben, pas grand chose, Yunifee qui flashe son derriĂšre, Berengeriat et "l'armure string" ou encore la robe avec "fente sur le cĂŽtĂ©" de Virginia/IlĂ©nia qui ne sert, Ă mon sens, qu'Ă se poser la question "culotte ou pas culotte". Et quand tu compares ça au design des unitĂ©s masculines, surtout pour les lanciers elfes c'est...
Enfin bref.
Est-ce que c'est l'aspect dating sim qui a poussĂ© les dĂ©veloppeurs Ă faire de tels designs, ou est-ce que, justement, ce sont les designs qui ont poussĂ© Ă intĂ©grer un aspect "dating sim", j'en sais rien, mais au final, je reste persuadĂ©e que ces questions de fanservice/design de personnages sont avant tout liĂ©es au public qui est visĂ© par le jeu en question - mĂȘme si je pense qu'en 2024, il est possible de dĂ©velopper un jeu de stratĂ©gie qui pourra ĂȘtre achetĂ© par des jeunes gens (ou moins jeunes!) avec un spritework aussi dĂ©taillĂ© que UO, sans absolument dĂ©velopper ce jeu Ă l'attention d'hommes en mal de galipettes.

I just looked up holly oaks because u blog about so much and I had no clue what it is, and let me tell you. Based on the cute gifsets you reblog I was NOT expecting the "attempted murders" sections on character wiki pages.
HAHA well, soaps are a strange beast.
At the same time as the cute stuff I posted today where Lucas and Dillon were trying to fund a boyfriends holiday, Lucasâs (the boy with the shorter hair) dad was forced to kidnap and kill someone else in town because his boss (who has sway over him since he killed his daughter in a hit and run) is demanding that he do it as payback. Also the guy he just cheated on his husband with is tagging along.
Currently in the village thereâs also an attempted murderer on the loose, a serial killer in the making, the mysterious gay doppelgĂ€nger of an evil dude named Patrick, and about 20 other storylines going on!
Soaps are wild, but they have an excellent balance of slice of life light content and serious drama. Itâs why I love them so much!
#hollyoaks#replies#this might sound like a lot but WHEW BOY the rabbit hole goes deep#at least Dillon and lucas are out here being cutie pies#thanks for the ask hahaha#dip ur toe in the water theyâre fun! and hayray are cute soooo

'an allnighter....no that wouldnt fit, lets suggest something more healthy' YEAH LETS NOT GIVE THAT ADVICE TO A 15YO,,,,,,,
#stardust speaking !#'figaro was away treating a family who could only eat apple pies' honami ?#0 writing today ive been fighting a bad mood most of the day. tmrw? who knows.........#have been thinking about kaitlyns ratio reply tho for how increasingly 'Akira Did Not Like That' they become listening to him#also how excited akira get about things.......how pretty the drink is.......shylock saying they might get to see fairies..............

never let me go or fish upon the sky
i am just now comprehending this question lol i was about to say it's a wild choice to make but i just realised the common denominator lmaoo
nlmg was my first pondphuwin show and my introduction to pond; i started watching it just to keep up with the community though i believed it was going to be too sad for me. i enjoyed watching it weekly, giffing it, contemplating palmnueng's dynamic and writing about it (thanks to the anon who asked me a question back then which i took days to answer đ€Šââïž) - i did not, however, enjoy the last episodes as much, especially the finale - i was practically waiting for it to end impatiently. i think a part of why i enjoyed it was participating in the community discussions and stuff and also having an episode or two per week made it easier to digest. once i was binging, though, i became more impatient with the plotholes and conveniences.
futs was A Lot - the humour hit more than it missed or at least i'd like to think it did - the kitty gang are one of the most fun friend group supporting characters (also satang nail polish >>>) and despite the weirdest, most out of left field conflict between them in the last episodes, duean and meen remain a very cute side couple that could beat morkpi in many categories. there was a red lamp going off in my head during the first six episodes but im the type to give the benefit of the doubt so i ignored it until i couldn't anymore. i binged this show in two bites iirc - i stopped at the end of ep.5 and then proceeded the next day - 2 episodes later i was already having a Not good time lol, trying to justify things, hoping it's all intentional, that things will get better and when they kept getting worse? oh, it took a toll on me. i'm so grateful for the humour, aesthetics and supporting cast for getting me through it. because it truly is an enjoyable little show when it stays away from mork (and would i LOVE to stay away from mork - even pond playing him couldn't help, it actually made me associate pond's appearance with mork which was awful ngl)
yeah, anyways, if i have to pick i want to say nlmg, i just realised i even watched the our skyy 2 episodes and they were perfect and highlighted the couple's dynamic beautifully
the truth is if i haven't watched smth in a while i'll probably just think of how easy to the eye i found it and in this case it wasn't the muted greens, browns, blues and purples of nlmg :')
futs drove me up the wall, left me angrier than i thought possible, made me sick of pond's face and left me in disbelief nearly every episode, i watched the finale angry and ready to leave it all behind. which is honestly so impressive?? cause after all the anger i barely remember the feeling but i remember that it was colourful and quirky. maybe it's a me thing but still, it's valuable. when i read fish upon the sky i get hit by so many emotions at once, you'd think it's of the quality of itsay or smth.
basically: nlmg is closer to my heart. futs is closer to my fist. they're both pondphuwin projects i watched/restarted watching under influence (iirc @respectthepetty's for nlmg and @sparklyeyedhimbo and @pondphuwin's for futs), they both have their higher chemistry/lower chemistry couples, their silly and not-so-silly villains, their ups and their downs. i will pick nlmg but futs is a winner too, it's just in a league of its own.
#sorry to tag a mork supporter in a not so nice comment its really not personal <3#i still think about that argument about him learning to love pi properly#and yeah kali hope you dont regret asking me stuff <3#petri replies#ask game

"iF yoU HAte Muh EmpeROr is BcuZ yoUre a MySOgInisT" Me, who spent valuable hours of her life defending Celica and Eirika from the dudebros calling them stupid and crazy for trying to find peaceful solutions instead of resorting to violence like her male counterparts: "Shut the f up, What does feminism have to do with aggressive invasions, imperialism and blaming all of humanity's issues on alien lizard blood?" Anyways, Long Live my Anti-War Queens Elincia, Guinevere, Emmeryn and Ivy <3
TBH even here iirc some dude said the pyramids in Egypt are proof ancient Egyptians had access to electricity or something and when people called this nonsense some people defended the poster saying people who were debunking him were racist or something...
But tbh, who is the real mysoginist, the one who criticises a character based on her actions, or the one who "defends" her bringing up her gender?
And yeah, while Miccy, Elincia, Eirika and Celica were harshly shat upon back then, with copious amounts of double standards and it was hard not to see your usual brand of sexism, but imo it's not a reason to "play uno reverse" when it comes to defending Supreme Leader.
But for those devoted people, everything is fair game when it comes to defending their fave, I guess.
#anon#replies#fandom woes#dÚs que je peux tacler Rama Yade c'est un bonus mdr#je sais toujours pas si gims avait voulu faire un troll ou pas mais elle est tombée à pieds joints dedans#FE15 really demolished Celica by amping up the sexism in the game by 11#but no it's anyone saying Supreme Leader's height is less than 1.70 m who is sexist#rhea never counts she is not a woman she is a lizard
