About that college commencement speechā€¦
Catholic football player Harrison Butker gave the commencement address for Benedictine College in Kansas in May 2024 and it caused a shitstorm. Conservatives love it, liberals hate it. Iā€™ve seen a few memes praising him (for encouraging young people to get married and start families), as well as a bunch of articles shitting on him (for telling women that they belong in the kitchen), so I decided to find out what the guy actually said.
The speech: https://www.ncregister.com/news/harrison-butker-speech-at-benedictine
This is a verbatim transcript, and here is the video posted by the college:
youtube
Okay. Lots to unpack. Like, a lot. Itā€™s under the cut.
First off, heā€™s speaking to a Catholic college. Heā€™s going to get religious. Iā€™m not going to get into his opinions on church politics and orthodoxy. Iā€™m also not going to address his statements on abortion, IVF, or pride month. Iā€™m going to focus on his bullshit opinions about womenā€™s role in society.
Tumblr media
[Image Description: Screenshots from the speech transcript broken into three paragraphs.
ā€œFor the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.ā€
ā€œI can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I'm on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.ā€ The phrase ā€œher life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a motherā€ has been underlined.
ā€œI say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand how much happier someone can be when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to God's will in their life. Isabelle's dream of having a career might not have come true, but if you asked her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud, without hesitation, and say, ā€œHeck, No.ā€ā€ The phrase ā€œIsabelle's dream of having a career might not have come trueā€ has been underlined. End image description]
First of all, Iā€™m aware that this is the piss-poor reading comprehension site so: anyone should be able to stay home and raise children without worrying about money. Children are amazing and parenting is important and great. I myself have a child and I love him more than anything. Thereā€™s no shame in not working outside the home. I believe women (and everyone) should have the choice to do whatever they want with their time, whether thatā€™s pursuing a career or not.
Alright! On to the sports manā€™s backwards and insensitive statements about women!
He starts off strong by congratulating the female graduates on their amazing accomplishment. Yes! College degrees at any level are hard work! But then he veers off and strongly implies that a desire to pursue a career and get ā€œpromotions and titlesā€ are the result of ā€œdiabolical lies.ā€ So heā€™s saying that women wanting to be successful outside the home is sinful. Not a great start, buddy!
Next up: the assumption that most of the women in the audience are most excited to start families. ā€œCongrats on the hard work, now start popping out kids!ā€
Bruh. These folks just finished a four year degree program. I looked up the financial info for Benedictine College.
Fee schedule:
Semester tuition for academic year 2024-2025 is $17,675, so a four year degree (no fees, no room and board, no meal plan, no materials) would cost about $100,000 without any aid. Itā€™s hardly the most expensive out there, but itā€™s not cheap. With aid but including the fees, materials, room and board, etc? Definitely a solid $100k.
So Harrison here has just congratulated women who are probably swimming in debt on getting their MRS degrees. Maybe some of them want that, but as a woman who went to a private Christian college, most of us were there for the career potential. Very few people these days are spending college money on meeting Mr Right. This is insensitive at best.
On to Mrs Lisa Butker. Harrison says that his wifeā€™s ā€œlife truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a motherā€ and that his own success relies on her support.
On the one hand, it really is important to have a supportive partner if you want a romantic relationship as well as career success. On the other hand, women donā€™t exist to make menā€™s lives easier. We have our own desires and ambitions, and telling a group of female college graduates that the most important woman in your life didnā€™t have a purpose before she got married and started making babies is, again, insensitive at best. At worst, itā€™s condescending, patronizing, and downright rude. To add insult to injury, he doubles down and says that the most important title (callback to graduates looking forward to ā€œpromotions and titlesā€) is homemaker.
Iā€™m a scientist and educator. Iā€™m a woman, a bisexual, a fat person, and a witch. Iā€™m a partner to my husband. I recently became a mother, and as cliche as it is, the last title is the most important now. I would do anything for my child. He is my number one priority. But Iā€™m not a homemaker. Never will be. And other women may not feel the same way about motherhood, and thatā€™s their right. I canā€™t impose my personal values on anyone else. And neither should Harrison Butker.
Last thing on Lisa Butker: she might be perfectly happy with her life. Good for her! But her husband has no right to use her to discourage young women from pursuing their dreams of independence and success. He even says that she gave up her dreams to support his. Again. Insensitive at best, incredibly rude at worst.
So, in conclusion: fuck that guy. His opinions on women are garbage and he should keep them to himself.

A little different than last year's, but here we are again. To say that this past year hasn't been absolutely wild would be a lie, cause HOLY SHIT MAN
This year's birthday is. A little different for me, but you already have the silly comic to show that so I won't make like a broken record oops
But, despite the changes and hills that life's decided I should climb or throw at, it hasn't changed the fact that I'm so genuinely fucking thankful to the people that I've known since joining this fandom. I'm not even kidding when I say that being here has actually changed my life for the better. I know I said something similar last year, but this time, hoo boy it sure turned up the AMP and test how far I could go.
So, to everyone, both new and old; thank you for being here :D

regarding dr ratio's team join voiceline with aventurine
idk where it originated from but i've been seeing this notion that the ENG voiceline is horribly mistranslated and ratio is much more caring and friendly in the original CN. THIS IS LITERALLY NOT TRUE HE IS JUST AS BITCHY IN BOTH LANGUAGES
as a native chinese speaker i actually really love hsr's localisation and i would like to clarify the misconception + explain the cultural nuance/context behind this particular voiceline
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think this tweet might've been the original source for this misconception? op's translation of the CN line is very literal and completely lacking in cultural nuance. while the sentence ē®”儽你č‡Ŗå·± does literally translate to "take care of yourself", it lacks the automatic positive connotation that this sentence has in ENG. CN is a high context language -- aka the meaning of a sentence can be totally different based on context clues like tone, body language, etc.
ratio's tone in this line is not the tone of someone who is concerned for a friend. it's standoffish. when said in this kind of tone, the meaning of ē®”儽你č‡Ŗå·± is closer to "mind your own business", making the ENG "keep to yourself" a more accurate localisation.
in addition, the word ē®” has connotations of controlling/managing something -- directly translating this to "take care of yourself" means it's missing a lot of important nuance.
granted, the second half of the line is a bit unnecessarily aggressive in ENG. the CN is more like "I have no need for your concern", and explicitly saying that he believes aven's concern to be "false" in ENG is definitely a lot ruder than the original line.
However. in my opinion it's not Too far off base. the way he emphasises the second half of that voiceline in CN carries an implication that he actually disdains aven's concern; we can extrapolate from context clues that he feels this way because aven's concern is just an act. tldr; eng line explicitly saying "false display" does make it ruder than CN but it didn't just come from nowhere -- the implication is already there in CN
this is not to say that ratio doesn't care about aven or see him as a friend. imo the reason ratio is so standoffish in this line is because any display of concern from aven here has the clear intention of teasing ratio. they both know ratio can take care of himself perfectly well. this is just how their dynamic works -- aven makes silly playful comments and ratio deflects them by acting cold.
in conclusion: ENG voiceline is not a mistranslation. hsr localisation is definitely not perfect but in this particular case i feel they've done a fairly good job of conveying the original meaning. thank you for coming to my ted talk

First day of Pride and I just want to shine a light on all the trans people who are unable to transition, especially those who arenā€™t fresh faced university grads. Those who donā€™t live in a supportive or even just accepting home or community. Those who arenā€™t well off, those who arenā€™t good at or popular enough to crowd fund. Those who canā€™t afford transitioning. Those who canā€™t even transition socially or need to stay in the closet for your safety. Those who rely on benefits or unforgiving jobs to just pay the bills. Having to hear day in and day out youā€™re just GNC, that your pre-transition body is ā€œuglyā€ and the ways you can express your gender are ā€œcringe.ā€ Every trans person whoā€™s been told they arenā€™t ā€œtrying hard enoughā€. Those trans people who wonā€™t even get to imagine transitioning for years.
I see you. I love you. Youā€™re so undervalued and under appreciated in a world where being a white, well off 20 year old on HRT and getting surgery is more common to see than people who work full time and just donā€™t have that privilege. It sucks, so much. But you are loved and you are seen.
Happy Pride Month to trans people who arenā€™t where they want to be. The world is better with you in it. We all need each other.

Genuinely so curious who Mike thinks is gonna be buying The Cage or the new DCTL GN bc with the way he tweets as far as he's concerned, it's not gonna be:
The queer people he has actively admitted he will never show any representation of in the games.
Tumblr media
2. The POC he has actively fought against representing in his franchise. [Who he also mocked for thinking they would be represented in his franchise]
3. The Bendy fandom which has always been concerned with topics of diversity esp in the sense of queer people since its creation. Who he has responded to really poorly esp in regards to the GN.
4. The fans who critique him. [He blocked me for doing so lol]
Tumblr media
5. His fans in general who he tweets about like this currently. [He's being vague about why people were mad at him or sent him 'nasty messages' because if you actually looked into why you'd see he was in the wrong. Either way, a very hateful way to speak abt ur own fanbase.]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reminder while Mike is trash talking his fans he has always treated them rather poorly. The fans who won the fanart contest for Chapter 5 never got their posters actually in game due to it being rushed. Not only was chapter 5 a big slap to the face story wise, but it was literally so rushed he couldn't be bothered to add in the art his fans gave him for his game FOR FREE. [Meatly blames this on a crazy timeline, reminder him and Mike are the literal ceos of this company. The proposal of future updates here is also pretty cruel considering Mike nowadays happily admits he corrupted Chapter 5's source code and therefore literally can't update it At All currently. Because he is a moron]
At least they got to be in Boris and the dark survival, and by that I mean that was the Only game they got to be in so far, isn't that just treating your fans like you love them? Shoving their hard work into a spin off game almost nobody has played or addresses much. [Hell, who knows if with the Lone Wolf rebrand they'll even stay there. In which case they'll be in None of the games, only in the credits of BATIM]
6. The Bendy fans who just generally disagree with him on stuff. Like the new ink demon design where there is literally a public poll showing people generally prefer the old one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. The Bendy fans who can see he is actively lying to them. To their fucking faces.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He says this has always been the case, but screenshots and links to tweets regarding the books being canon prove it was not. Does he really think bendy fans are stupid or something? [Unless he's admitting here he lied to Kress when he told her the books were canon which sounds worse!]
8. Anyone who doesn't like the idea of giving money to a guy who laid off tons of employees then afterwards thought it was a great idea to express his anti-union views! Also brag about how good of an employer he was, according to his employees, he was not!
Tumblr media
So in summary; Mike is an awful person who has not learned anything from the awful things he did. I will not be purchasing The Cage because, combined with this and his absolute refusal to take any kind of critique or see any differing interpretation of his franchise, I have no reason to think my problems with the franchise will ever be addressed or fixed. I probably will pirate The Cage along with any future Bendy Products [Including the movie] and will do my best to avoid giving it any kind of monetary support. Unless this changes any time soon, I can't see myself making anymore positive Bendy posts soon.
Mike has just managed to make it so hard to speak positively or optimistically of this franchise when he's so willing to broadcast how little he cares about it or its fans. I'm at the point where I refuse to pull any of my punches with my problems with it. What's the point of trying to play nice with my critique when either way the people creating it don't care?
So with this post, I want to invite anyone who feels similarly about the franchise to tell me, make a post or send an ask talking about how all of this makes you feel. It may not change how things are, but genuinely seeing other people share my feelings of anger makes me feel better. It feels nice to see when other people share our same concerns and worries. I'd also love to know if anyone else thinks they'll be avoiding purchasing Bendy products over this.
I'm not forcing anyone to participate in it nor trying to say anyone who doesn't supports mike but genuinely maybe if we can collectively decide to boycott things like the movie, graphic novel and The Cage... It might at least make the bendy devs acknowledge how much they have destroyed their own fandom's faith and trust in them.
The way Mike tweets about his actions like he had no control over why people were mad at him at least proves to me he takes NONE of it back nor regrets it. If you didn't know about his actions and only went off his tweets, you would be led to believe Mike has been needlessly picked apart by fans over things he couldn't control [or in his own words, had his words twisted and taken out of context]. That is not how you speak about your actions if you have actually learned better from them.
anyway, that has been my bendy dev callout post. This is an open invitation to anyone feeling similarly upset about the way the franchise is going to talk about it. It's genuinely nice to see how people feel about this and the more we talk about the more it's likely the bendy devs are forced to address our concerns. I don't think they will but hey, that's why I'm not gonna support them with my money anymore nor am I gonna be nice to them in any content I make critiquing Bendy. I mean I'm also basically making this post just in case anyone asks me Why I feel this way towards to bendy devs/as a way to respond to anyone who thinks I am too harsh in my critique in the future.
As always, it seems the best part of Bendy isn't actually anything about canon but about what the fan's are creating with the ideas Bendy failed to do anything interesting with.
Also the books, the books slap.
#batim#batdr#bendy and the ink machine#bendy and the dark revival#ramblez#bendy and the silent city#bendy the cage#for the record another reason Im making this post is bc some of the only good resources to learn abt why the bendy devs suck are some old#very longer videos and this is a very long post but I thought it was important to document the recent shit theyve been doing alongside some#of the worst past things theyve done bc Mike has been trying to misinform people on what happened but those videos are still great resource#if you want more info n such#long post#mike D#for anyone who doesnt wanna hear abt him since he doesnt go by mood anymore#sorry if this is rambley or emotional Im just so sick of these guys fr dskjhgskdfjghskdjhgkjhsd#I miss when I didnt spend my days stressed about the awful shit mike is gonna say next and how I would have to disprove it in a post later#or explain why its bad to have a cast of nothing but cishet white guys n constantly fight back against any push for diversity in said cast#genuinely its just tiring esp when u see other bendy fans give ignorant or very silly defenses/takes on those things#n then u lose a lot of respect for them bc they are speaking on stuff they dont know much abt so confidently and therefore misinforming#people or even encouraging very bad views on stuff like diversity n its importance#Im not saying people like that are bad people but it is stressful n upsetting when u see someone u thought knew better do that sort of thin#it makes it hard to trust them again on other issues bc u now dont trust they know what they r talking abt!!#like please think twice before telling young artists making norman white was a tough and complicated decision it was fucking not the bendy#devs just think all their humans are white by default and dont wanna change that its been proven time n time again thats all it is#and defending them just bc u like a franchise they made is very very bad!! They are not ur friends!! they suck and we seriously need to#stop pretending they dont!! toxic positivity is only gonna make the fandom an absolute nightmare its not gonna make ANYTHING better#it just means people will be forced to PRETEND they never have negative thoughts abt the franchise n therefore make them burned out#just look at other similar fandoms please lets not make those same mistakes!!#sorry can u tell Ive been having just. A time recently#anyways back to making my queer ass bendy fan game full of so much diversity mike will prolly shit when he sees it DKFJGHKSDJHGKJHSD

I love reading Hotamaā€™s USUK doujins because you literally never know what youā€™re going to get. Other prolific creators stuck to similar genres and styles over the years, but Hotama? Hell no! With Hotama youā€™ve just got to buckle the fuck up and hold on for dear life. This time will it be a bloody horror story? Psychological thriller? Soul crushing tragic epic that will make your heart bloom? Utterly deranged, filthy sex farce? Who knows! Buckle up, fucker. What an amazing crazy diamond she(?) was. So many different reactions to her work:

Hey #GreekMythology tumblr, I want yaā€™lls help on something :).
So, Iā€™ve been thinking about starting this massive project. Like, would take years and years work of writing and research and sheerly finding the time and motivation for. And as I was thinking about the specifics, I thought: why not bring others into it as well? Because as much as I am interested in a lot of Greek Mythology, there are things that are simply not my interests and might cause writers block and my goal for the project would to be as fun as possible. So, here we are.
What is the project exactly? Well, hopefully, itā€™ll be a long Ao3 series/fic focusing on the individual perspectives of various figures/events in Greek Mythology arranged in (semi/good enough) chronological order. I personally intend to write for Poseidon in his/my version of the Titanomachy and (maybe) some events that follow, if you want a little bit of an idea on what Iā€™m talking about.
The limits on this are almost completely free, all that I ask are that each of your submissions are one POV only (and by that I mean your main subjectā€™s POV). Why do I say this? I say this because that is what I want this project to look like. It doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s First, Second, or Third POV along with all the other variants of those three, my main focus is on the individual experiences of these individuals. Kind of like character studies, if you know what I mean. Iā€™m intending for it to be mostly formal but I will absolutely accept crack admissions that I will probably put into its own series to Separate the Vibes for whoever comes by :).
Ultimately, this is a completely open-ended project that has absolutely no deadline. Iā€™m about to go to bed so I canā€™t go into too much detail, but if you want to DM me or send any asks, I am completely okay with that and weā€™ll all flesh out the specifics we go :).
What is my overall purpose? Not only is this project made for my own individual purposes of learning more about the gods and other Greek Mythology writers, but itā€™s also the chance to spread the word of other writers. I know how hard it is to get specific audiences, especially when youā€™re shy, so this is a chance for your work to be stumbled upon. Each post on the eventual Ao3 fic will include your socials, how to find you, and your other general works on either ao3, tumblr, wattpad, or other :)
Can you participate even without socials or a tumblr page? Yes you absolutely can :). My asks will always be open to anons and I will do my best to give credit when I eventually post everything :). If you want to post multiple submissions or simply just want a trackable (between works) name to your writing, just sign something at the end. It could be a name, it could be a potential username, I donā€™t mind at all :)).
How do I submit things? Well, the best way would be to DM me :). I have a personal writing email separate from most things that would be perfect to either share a google docs with or to just send a copy-and-pasted copy of it. Otherwise, I take asks. None of them will be posted unless asked or weā€™re ready to so itā€™ll be safe to just drop them off in! Itā€™s also where I take questions :).
Any other things to note? Iā€™d really appreciate some other moderators and editors :). Thereā€™d only be like two or three of each and weā€™d have to know each other decently well before officially starting, but some help would be appreciated! Also, Iā€™d like to keep a working ā€˜spreadsheetā€™ of whoā€™s working on what just for people to see whatā€™s going on :). Maybe some people can collaborate or itā€™ll encourage those niche writers to write :). A third thing is that most questionable stuff is accepted. Iā€™d personally rather not handle all those things other than posting it so it might be a while until I can officially accept (consensual and/or graphic) āœØspicy stuffāœØ but, other than that, Iā€™ll take any of it (also, itā€™s Greek Mythology, almost all of it already happened). If someoneā€™s willing to take over the āœØspicy stuffāœØ then please DM me so we can work out the details and see if itā€™s a nice fit :)
Honestly, that all should be it. The main point is that Iā€™m trying to start up a long-term project on Tumblr and Ao3 about what is essentially Greek Mythology character studies that not only allows for mass communication across a wide audience, but also (hopefully) gets some recognition for the smaller writers :). Feel free to DM me or send me asks with questions but for now, I shall sleep
Tagging: @bluebellstudio @thirteen-deaths-later @0lympian-c0uncil @happyk44 @h0bg0blin-meat @sworeontheriverstyx @deathlessathanasia @gotstabbedbyapen. Sorry if I tagged you and you want nothing to do with it, I just wanted to get it out there /pos /gen

I have been a hater lately so I'm changing that up.
I have my grievances with Baxter dlc, I admit, but I don't hate it I think it's wasted potential which is unfortunate because Baxter is an extremely interesting character.
He's out of place in the our life universe because of how messy he is, the OL universe is very idealistic so Baxter is the more down to earth character that we have in a realistic sense.
I genuinely feel like in order to appreciate Baxter as a character you have to appreciate the absolute mess that he is, not only as a character but as a dlc as well, because again my issues with his dlc is that is a hot mess and it doesn't even know what it wants to do, especially with the lack of choice on the players part. Something that is especially clear in his step 4 and I do genuinely think his step 4 is the whole reason why this dlc left me unsatisfied, because step 3 was such an amazing build up.
We get to know him and how he is as a person, how he constantly feels like he has to put this charming mask and being embarrassed of his more human side, that's one of the reasons why drinks is one of my favorite moments, and we also get to see that due of this faƧade he feels the need to keep his relationships at an arm distance, hence why he cut out everyone from golden grove, and also why I adore planning. So when the break up happens is both heartbreaking but somehow foreshadowed, and that is so interesting to see on a writing stand point because we knew that he would cut us off, now we just know why.
And then....step 4 comes in ...and...
It is just, it's really messy, especially because Baxter in the wedding dlc was willing to start over so... seeing him ignore mc and projecting what he thinks mc thinks of him was, so disappointing.
This whole dlc is just so disappointing to me because the hype was there!! We had an extremely interesting character that cuts you off, that you can break up with, you can have legit drama in this except....no you don't. Because mc has little to no agency In his dlc, because Kab didn't finish writing this and had someone else finishing it for her, because he feels off as an our life character since he was originally an xoxo droplet character, and also because conflict in our life is always kinda awkward .
I think another reason why step 4 didn't work, is because it's clearly meant to be played as a romantic route when the game advertises itself as being able to do both, but you can't in his dlc and worse of all you guys can't leave each other as just acquaintances. I get that Is the game mechanic but I also think Baxter should have been the exception because he's not ready to be in a romantic relationship.
I played my first run on a romantic relationship and it felt odd, it felt fast, with cove and derek is easier because you've known them for years, you've known Baxter for 3 months after he breaks your heart and he hasn't changed a bit on how his ways.
And again is just really really disappointing because Baxter is such an interesting character to analyze because he's an absolute loser who thinks he's punk but he's not, and who clearly has issues but doesn't know how to handle them AND THEN YOU SEE THE FANDOM NOT SEEING THE ABSOLUTE MESS THAT HE IS AS A CHARACTER AND JUST MAKES HIM THIS DOM DADDY PERSONALITY, and it's so disheartening because I remember when the dlc first dropped everyone was making fun of him, then something changed and suddenly everyone praises his mediocre ass, not for being mediocre but because everyone thinks he's hot and is just šŸ˜Ÿ
I hate it because writing his dynamic with Pandora and Taliyah (my mcs hi) is so so interesting and makes me explore more things about their personalities, so I just hate that the canon is the way that it is when I know Kab can write good shit and this...felt kinda mid

INVINCIBLE COMIC SPOILERS
LIKE MASSIVE SPOILERS
The weirdest thing about watching Invincible is seeing Ollie still be a cute lil baby while knowing exactly what's gonna happen.
Like of course it's like that for everyone. Rex, Rudy (aka Rex as well itc). It's especially painful watching them drag out Amber and Mark's breakup and sitting there like that one Frank Castle meme.
But it's different for Ollie. Watching this cute baby coo while they try to think of a name for him just, idk it hits differently. It's like I receive flashes in my mind.
"Awww what a cute baby. Isn't he just adora-"
Tumblr media
"Oh. Oh yeah. Oh jeez."

As much as I love the angst fics coming out of megatron and starscreams recent interactions? I need me some comedy to cope.
For the love of the lord please give me starscream forced to be around megatron but instead of having a normal response and being outright scared and mean(deserved) like in ep 21. I just want him to be a bitch. like please give me passive aggressive starscream. A screamer who realizes that, since megatron has ā€œmoralsā€ now and works with the autobots, he canā€™t reprimand him for his mutinous actions, comments and attitude like he used to.
I need me a starscream who calls megs ā€œlord megatronā€ or ā€œmy lordā€ in the most condescending, spiteful, and sarcastic tone imaginable. A starscream who openly defies megatronā€™s leadership for absolutely no reason other than the fact that he can get away with it now. A starscream who milks tf out of megatronā€™s guilt. A starscream who, when megs shows any ounce of concern for his physical well-being (whether it be in the midst of battle or just some joint/wing pain), replies with the sassiest, most bitchy, most spiteful response possible.
Megatron, actually concerned for his former second: starscream, are you okay? Iā€™ve been told youā€™re having some joint pain.
Starscream: really? I thought you of all mechs would know all about my never ending suffering but alas it seems you still havenā€™t learned
Megatron: ā€¦.

Iā€™m so glad I watched Arcane because I got like 3 posts that were full of gifs of Caitlyn and Vi kissing on my dash in a row and if I hadnā€™t just watched it I wouldā€™ve gotten spoiled lmao
#ramble#long tags#arcane spoilers in the tags this isnā€™t like a serious post tho#Iā€™m not surprised they broke up like 10 minutes later tho because like how are a cop and an anti-cop girlie gonna get together šŸ˜­#Vi becoming a cop for her is crazy#and then Caitlyn is gonna like lead an army to the undercity šŸ˜­#imagine becoming a cop for a girl and she does that šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­#I know Cait is like grieving her mom and stuff but sheā€™s generalizing the whole undercity as criminals and going crazy and stuff like girl šŸ˜­#and like Melā€™s mom put her in the position and stuff but like she took the role and she said all that stuff to Vi like girllll#I am suffering intense whiplash from that lesbian W to lesbian L all so fast. Arcane s2e3 ending putting the L in lesbian#literally how will they come back from this bro šŸ˜­#wait this is lowkey like the plot of Zootopia omfg#privileged cop girl and underprivileged redhead work together and the two groups of people are fighting#and at one point cop girl starts to generalize the underprivileged group as all dangerous criminals#Iā€™m giggling my ass off now at that thought of CaitVi Zootopia#I shoulda just made a post to rant instead of ranting in the tags but whatever#I used so many names of things uncensored so this will probably show up in my tags sorry I didnā€™t think of that until now#*main tags not my tags#and I am not retyping all those tags šŸ˜­#this is the dumbest post ever bro do not take this seriously lmao#the new episode has clearly made me crazy#rope/spider post

ask game!! šŸ§”: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
oooh, that's a good one- A couple come to mind...but I'll go with how I REALLY don't vibe with the theory that Tobirama's mom was a Hatake. Honestly, I love aus where the Hatake are a cool ninja clan for one reason or another, but I don't think it works well as a theory for canon. It REALLY feels like something that would've come up at SOME point, if KAKASHI was the last scion of an old disgraced clan lol
