Max really embodies the just a guy persona huh? With his achievements, broken records and pure talent you might think hes divorced from reality, but well. Hes the happiest just spending time with his friends iracing. He is just Max, one of the best formula 1 drivers ever, but still just Max Verstappen. I love that for him.
#he seems so humble to be honest#just a guy#he doesnt think too highly of him#remember when a reporter was like#people say youre out of this world#and he was so disappointed and said no#im here too#like#hes so good#but humble#max verstappen

Her Astrophel and Sterling
hmmm
Hmmmmmmmm
You know what.
You know those AU's where the Batfam finds or learns about either hidden or thought to be dead Al Ghul Danny! with a deaged/daughter Dani (Ellie) (I should know, I created a few of those storylines) but what if, now hear me out, what if instead of them finding Danny first its Talia.
Do I want Talia discovering her thought to be dead son to be alive? Yes. Do I want her to find him while investigating Amity Park when the League gets reports of 'Lazarus creatures/water'? Yes.
DO I WANT HER TO KNOCK ON THE FENTON'S DOOR, fully ready to pretend/honey talk her way into the house to uncover what the Fenton's know, ONLY TO MEET A LITTLE ELLIE?!
YES.
Ellie whose eyes and hair look like a copy of her Beloved but she can see bits and pieces of herself as well. Talia knows the child in front of her was not fully her's though but everything makes sense when she hears a voice, a voice she hasn't heard in ages but as a mother just knows, speak out.
"Ellie! I thought I said do not answer the door my Sterling."
"But Daddy, yous was busy fighting the hotdoggys!"
Talia's eyes widen when she finally catches sight of familiar black hair and blue eyes.
and she could only lightly whisper a old nickname she hasn't dared uttered in ages, a name she secretly gave her son due to his love of the stars "Astrophel..."
#danny phantom#danny fenton#crossover#dp x dc#blue rambles#danny phantom dc#writing ideas#random idea#dpxdc#good mom Talia?#Good mom Talia. Yes#Astrophel means Star Lover btw#Sterling means Little Star or Excellent#Deaged Ellie#Deaged Dani#Danny either faked his death or got yeet from the Pits to Amity#does he remember? Idk leaving it open ended#if he does remember he chose not to return cause he knew he'd be punished#Talia comes to Amity after so many years because the League finally got reports of 'Lazarus' like creatures/waters being used/seen#Is she League leader now? Idk again leaving it open ended for anyone to play with#does she kept it a secret when talks to Danny about everything? I think so if he asks her not to say anything#Talia is happy to see her son again after so long. She isnt happy about how Ellie came into his life but is happy to have a granddaughter#she totally holds Ellie everytime she visits and promises to teach her how to make the world fall into her chubby little hands#Ellie loves her Granmama Talia cause she tells stories of all the places she's been#Eventually though I can see someone. Maybe Damian or Bruce. Needing to speak with Talia about something#and they track her down when she's on a visit to Danny and Ellie. And well the secret is out.#dani phantom#danielle phantom#Dani is Ellie

more svanhildr - trying new things, like a brave boy
#my art#anthro#furry#illustration#oc#svanhildr#dysterel#i have so many great brushes i never use for no reason so i'm expanding my horizons and using like 10 brushes instead of 3#and i used the pencil tool for the first time so i could make a sprite of svanhildr#btw don't do pixel art without looking at multiple tutorials first. worst mistake of my life#i think my blobby indeterminate sprite daughter looks great though#also has anyone seen brass eye and if so have you seen when the posh reporter lady is walking to the prison#and she turns to the camera and says something like “i'm going going inside now. like a BAD boy”#anyway it gets me every time and writing brave boy made me remember it

pains me that there's simply not enough info on star wars in-universe entertainment and pop culture for my liking. i want to know what star wars version of the godfather looks like. i wanna know what kind of space fanfiction a pantoran teenager would read, the kind of space tiktok edits they would make. i want to know the star wars equivalent for whatever the hell that is happening with ben affleck and matt damon. i want to see a coruscant news outlet publish an article with a headline "M'ett Sp'Amon not wearing a wedding ring again during another visit to Beng Spifflek's house. which could mean nothing"
#i hope there's a picture going around the holonet thats like “rpf is fine” (c) grandmaster yoda#star wars#remember when there was that ancient star wars internet forum during prequels release that would post little snippets of news from coruscan#i miss that i need that that would've been so fun#make idk like a fake twitter account for planet or a city that woukd publish little things like that#and have reoccurring news reporter and celebrity characters#okay apparently a combination of the words space and tik tok kinda sounds like something else so im editing this sorry peace and love

god the way ghost’s voice drops when he tells soap, “you’ll need to improvise to survive”
before that, everything he says is steady but when he acknowledges that soap’ll have to do something outside his skill set, something he intimately knows to be difficult, his voice wavers. he does the same when he says, “welcome to guerrilla warfare”; it’s sombre and serious in a way he doesn’t act for the rest of the mission. if you read into it enough, he almost sounds apologetic; like he knows exactly what soap’s about to go through and wishes he didn’t have to
he keeps soap going; poking at him and making jokes, giving him tips and asking about his progress. he never lets him stop and take a second to think bc he knows the moment he does is the moment it'll all hit him; the betrayal, the pain, the fear, the deaths, all of it will drown him and if that happens, soap won't make it
he needs him to be a soldier through and through and he knows this is one of the worst kinds of battlefields you could end up on
and the only times he slips is when he acknowledges that fact
it happens again when he says, "tryin' to get you here alive and in one piece". his jovial dark humour facade drops for just a moment when he has to face the potential reality of losing soap. then he tries to pick it back up again with, "one of us has to survive to tell the tale"; completely discounting himself as a survivor to try and rally soap and make him think it’s all down to him
and soap does the same thing
when he's calling out for ghost on the radio, he's tentative, testing the frequency, then when he doesn’t get a response, he grows desperate; "ghost, this is 7-1, do you copy?"
then when ghost answers, he smooths out his voice; he hides the pain, the fear, and no matter what response you give to ghost asking if he’s injured, soap brushes it off (“i’m good”, “what’s the difference?”, “i’m not a medic”). soap decides it’s in ghost’s best interest to hide the extent of his injuries
he doesn’t know where ghost is, if he’s secure, if he has any weapons; he doesn’t even know if he’s in las almas until he says, “there’s a church, i’m headed to it”. for all he knows, he could’ve run in the complete opposite direction. if ghost knows he’s hurt, then his attention would be split between his own survival and soap’s
and soap, who lets himself be poked and prodded towards the church, needs to hide his own doubts. maybe he needs ghost to believe he'll make it so he himself can believe it ("what are my odds?" "don't make me bet against you", "think i'll live that long?" "probably not")
he all but begs ghost to tell him he'll get through it and if he knows just how bad off he is, maybe he'll change his mind. maybe he'll think he won't make it to the church
maybe he'll leave him alone for good
"you injured?"
"i’m good"
"let's find out how good you are"
#remember when i said soap kept being injured from ghost for his own good and said it was a thought for another day?#well todays the day motherfuckers its more alone meta time!#i dont think he expects ghost to give him guerrilla warfare 101 over comms#i dont think he expected him to bail altogether otherwise he wouldve sounded different calling for him#but he probably thought ghost would focus on himself a lot more than he does#even after he gets to the church its in his best interest to stay silent and unnoticed (like a good sniper should)#instead he gives away his position both by constantly talking and shooting to take out the shadows about to kill soap#they both try to hide things from the other to reassure them that theyre alright. that theyll both get out alive#and youre trying to tell me they arent in love?#bc thats not how soldiers act#no matter how they feel they have to report injuries#soap jeopardises them both by withholding that#he acts like a man when hes supposed to act like a soldier and why would he do that if not to protect simon the man instead of ghost his I.#love motherfucker!#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#we’re a team. ghost team#talk meta to me#ghoap#ghostsoap#soapghost#soap cod#john soap mactavish#ghost cod#simon ghost riley#meta#cod mw2#cod mwii#save post

I think Neil is always going to be a nostalgic little shit in the dumbest ways. I think they’re going to be retired in their mid-forties grown ass adults with a house and a mortgage, and one day Andrew wakes up alone and goes outside to see if neil’s gone for a run or something and then a shingle falls right beside him, and he looks up and Neil’s just. On the roof. Smoking a cigarette with his legs dangling over the edge of their little suburban bungalow and Andrew is just like “Jesus fuck junkie” because he’s too goddamn old for this.
#Neil tells him it was just his way of dealing with a nightmare bc the familiarity brings him peace#And Andrew’s like “how far is this going to go”#“when we’re sixty and you get sentimental are you going to go find a reporter so you can rant about the ravens being shit again?”#Idk I think the ideal future andreil dynamic is Andrew constantly being exasperated at Neil’s sentimentality for that first year at psu#Jean is so sick of Neil calling him up to remind him of that first banquet like#“Hey remember that time when you were about to diss Andrew but then saw Renee and froze up like a dumbass? LMAO loser”#aftg#neil josten#Andrew minyard

It's actually fascinating to me how social media is becoming more important and less important at the same time. Because everything is about social media. Everyone is influenced. Everyone is spending hours of their day. Everyone knows everything.
But at the same time - I remember 2010, 2012, when people were organising their parties and birthdays on Facebook and creating fun little groups and stuff and you know which of your friends were there. You used to talk about posts and everyone would react to yours. No one does that anymore, at least in my age group/social group. They're on various messengers, but they're all deleting or barely using public real name profiles these days and they're not even announcing that they delete and I don't notice because these accounts usually have been dead for years. Social media is no longer the place where I find everyone from work or everyone from my old school or this guy I just met. It's just angry strangers and corporations and news.
#remember when people would accidentally create public events#and there would be news reports about thousands of people coming to some randos birthday party?#shit like that doesn't happen bc no one cares anymore

an artfight attack that is also a webcomic fanart! two birds, one electric type attack.
inhibit webcomic courtesy of @evegwood
#fun(?) fact from my cursory research only electrode raichu electrobuzz (debatably) and joltik are mentioned to Sap electricity#electrode and electrobuzz syphon from power plants (tho electobuzz reports on that front had apparently been greatly exadurated)#(also i think having an electrode Anywhere near victor Would Be a Bad Idea)#and raichu can gather electricity from the air (it also mentions A Lot that it often grounds itself with its tail)#(and also becomes Angry when overcharged. spontaneous discharges in general plague the pikachu line) (fun)#anyway rant over#i cant remember from the top of my head but it feels like vic had not had a single restful sleep over the course of the comic#every time he sleeps Something Keeps Happening#clearly a curse#my art#inhibit#inhibit comic#joltik#pokemon crossover#artfight

We as a fandom don’t talk enough about how Game of Thrones decided to combine Jon Snow and Young Griff into one character and how that was absolutely ridiculous on like 1000 different levels. Because how do you combine two characters who are FOILS to one another and then play it completely straight?! Then to make matters worse they gave Jon the boy’s stupid name?! Goddamnit I knew they didn’t get Jon as a character pretty early on, but why mesh his arc with the one guy you shouldn’t combine with? 😭
#top 3 greatest got crimes I fear#talk about understanding neither character#like Aegon is there to serve as a foil to Jon and inform on a lot of the tropes grrm is deconstructing with Jon’s arc#you can’t make them the same character because you completely miss the whole point#also remember when they combined jon and stannis?#like people acknowledge that and are like yeah fine what ever but like….#am I the only one who also freaking HATES that?!?#because Jon and Stannis are anti-parallels you CANT DO THAT#without completely ruining Jon’s arc#like idc if it ruins stannis’ plot line but I care about Jon because he’s one of the central/main characters!!!#you can’t combine his story line with more minor characters who are meant to serve as foils to him#but what else can I expect from the themes are for eighth grade book reports brigade#jon snow#aegon vi targaryen#young griff#asoiaf#game of thrones

Only a couple new plague spots, the ones I already had are at the horrific stage. If they could please begone so I could get my appetite back that would be great.
The morning was good, did I mention the dietician told me to have coconut yogurt? It was after asking if I liked any vegan cheese (have not found good vegan cheese yet) so I assume it's for calcium? But yeah mix that with my muesli, almond milk and pineapple and it felt like eating dessert for breakfast. I put the Eras Tour on the TV while I was writing some cutesy flirty dialogue and just generally felt in a good mood which was nice, I've missed being in a good mood.
Then this afternoon I moved on to some more Glenn posts, meeting three other spellcasters and a horse. Anyway at this second I have a week's worth of stuff queued which, considering I only had two days of stuff two days ago, feels almost miraculous.
#ramble ramble ramble#before bed thoughts#slept great last night#was freezing cold but it stopped me being so itchy#also what is up with tumblr not telling me I have messages#it's hard enough for me to remember to respond to messages it tells me about#also another day of me wondering why my more risque stuff doesn't get flagged#when like simple kissing on a bed does#is it because it's under a cut#or because there's no one seeing it to report that my sims are mid woohoo#as in y'all are not homophobes#how does stuff even get flagged#does a person look at it somewhere#or does AI just scan the pictures to look for stuff#my brain thrives on understand stuff#and I don't understand

Hot Risk of Rain 2 Take: The Game ISNT DEAD
i believe the issues that came with the DLC update will be fixed with time
they REALLY needed to cook the update longer cause some of the stuff in here (not including the bugs) feels like prototype stuff (some item logs dont flow really well and are confusing)
the stuff thats here is really good! just sucks that bugs kinda ruin that
#risk of rain#risk of rain 2#these bugs really feel like -we ran out of time to polish this stuff-#remember Survivors of the Void? that had bugs that affected gameplay too#although not to the extent we're seeing now#squid polyp was off-limits because of collapse stacking and fire became THE FLAMES OF DISASTER#just generally irked by the clickbait doomposting i keep seeing#i get why it happens cause reporting and exaggerating bad thing is easier and fun#but seeing the same basic takes gets boring#also the irony of some people wanting hopoo back when they were hating on them during the void dlc release is funny

To take a more serious tone toward the topic, I think history is best when we approach it without trying to make value judgements. The worst takes are the ones that try to sort people into "good" and "bad" categories, as if there's a certain calculus to determine if a person deserves to be remembered as a hero or a villain. The point shouldn't be to judge, but to understand.
All people have a mix of both good and bad within them. We should figure out who they are as people, what the world around them was like, how they were shaped by experiences and society, and why they made the choices that they did. There are some undeniably black-hearted villains, but most people are a mixture of good actions and bad actions, of pure motives and mistakes, of brilliant insight and just plain dumb blindness that comes from not knowing how history would turn out. Trying to categorize gets in the way of understanding, and often dehumanizes them.
These aren't just figures or statues, they're people--living, breathing human beings who had hopes and dreams and flaws and fears. We can honor their accomplishments while recognizing their mistakes. We should imitate their virtues and avoid their flaws. When we study, we want to classify things in neat boxes, but people are too messy for that. You can like a person and hate their views; you can appreciate someone's accomplishments while hating their personality. You can get so much further with understanding the nuances of history if you can just leave behind the tendency to judge and just get to know these people as they actually were.
#history is awesome#trying to put into words the feeling that has come to me a lot since my history reading started up in earnest#i sometimes find myself a bit distressed#not knowing how to reconcile conflicting reports of a person#how am i supposed to reconcile the fact that this person i liked did something rather rotten?#or that someone bad might have had a decent point?#and that's always when i have to step back and remember that people aren't monoliths#you can admire some things while hating others#and understand that everyone is flawed#and that point is always when history opens up#and stops being dead words on a page and starts being a real world filled with people just like us who are trying their best#(even if a lot of people could try a lot harder)#also having a sense of humor is so so important#the worst takes come from the people who take things too seriously

Okay this is the *actual* last comment, for real, but I just found out Spider is now smearing me as a convert and accusing me of being involved with drama I was not involved with because he mistakenly attributed my apologies for his public temper tantrum as being about something unrelated.
THIS IS A FALSE ACCUSATION and I do not appreciate having yet another bit of fake malicious intent falsely ascribed to my actions and* attributing a completely unrelated attack to me.
Also, it's very sad and disappointing whenever a Jew gets mad at a convert because something else is going on in the Jew's life and the convert happens to be in the splash zone and the Jew falls over backwards to smear the convert and invalidate her faith.
Just....the childish aggression is making me so, so sad and disappointed, from someone I used to think very highly of, who is now lying about me and publicly smearing me with false accusations based on a conflict he started because he misinterpreted something I said and I went out of my way to give him the benefit of the doubt when trying to clear up the mistake HE MADE that led him to decide bullying and attacking me for three fucking days was appropriate and okay and that I'm the bad guy for saying it's wildly unprofessional to behave like this in public to a former customer face.
Sorry, but facts, reality, linear time and the truth of what I actually said and did are on my side here, and I will not stand for being smeared and attacked and shat all over because I had the gall to try to kindly resolve his uncalled for, unjustified temper tantrum.
I am also not sorry that I left a side note in the tags that it was also unacceptable for HIM to drag his daughter into a stupid internet slapfight based on his own reading comprehension failure. Because it was and is unacceptable, and she needs to hear that message from someone.
End of story. Keep digging that hole as long as you like, Spider. It's not helping your case and is continuing to make you look progressively worse and more unreasonable, and the only person you have to blame is yourself.
youtube
*revised for clarity
#don't buy from nerdykeppie#all receipts are under this tag#if you're so offended because my reporting on the things you say and do makes you look bad maybe the problem is you#this whole thing was completely needless#and yet he is continuing to DARVO me because he's pissed that his usual method of smugly lashing out at people over their poor reading#comprehension doesn't work when it's him who failed to comprehend what I wrote in the first place#also REAL FUCKING INCHRESTING that he's lying about me being involved in the jewvestigation of him so he responds by......jewvestigating me#lol#lashon hara. maybe he should study it sometime.#and maybe he'll learn warning others about poor behavior from a business so they don't waste their money there is not lashon hara#but honestly I doubt it because he's never going to let go of his desperate complex about always being the smartest raddest dude in the roo#it looks pathetic and I think he realizes that or he wouldn't have had such a dramatic extended meltdown over the things *he* said to *me*#I also still find it funny that he has conveniently forgotten to address the whole “hey bud your timeline doesn't add up” part#and I think that's because he knows if he were to address the proof that he didn't remember it correctly he would be forced to admit that h#threw a massive shitfit at someone for no reason because his memory got mixed up#so so funny that he can't come up with an answer for that#almost like! he knows he fucked up bigtime and is scrambling to make himself the victim!#also funny that “worrying about someone who was dragged into a fight by a bully” got twisted into sneakily scheming to turn her against him#I'm not a scheming plotter I'm worried because the behavior you showed your child in public was wildly inappropriate TO HER.#it's sad! It's fucking sad and embarrassing and hypocritical and immature and SAD!#but the pretend me other people are attacking because they made shit up is none of my business#if he wants to keep writing fanfic about me he can go right ahead#because again#the more he talks the worse he looks#the more he digs this hole the deeper he gets mired in his own muck#and it's not my job to bend over backwards to keep him from experiencing the natural consequences of his actions.#I really should learn the lesson that people who are snide assholes in one situation are usually snide assholes across the board#really the worst part is knowing I defended him when he threw tantrums like this before#that's what I regret and feel guilty about: that I backed up his shitty behavior and gave it legitimacuy#that was wrong of me and I'm sorry for every time I jumped in as one of his flying monkeys
