If I see one more person characterize Caine as evil, I'm activating The Blender

ok but literally. I have been seeing people around the community actually think or characterize Caine as evil and malicious and i really have to wonder if they paid attention to the pilot at ALL.

You're telling me the guy who

-sets up adventures to entertain them and help pass the time. despite being likely too chaotic at times, he means well

-did NOT purposely trap or is keeping the circus gang here on his own accord. He was just as surprised to see Pomni appear as the others and knows an exit doesn't exist. He doesn't know how to send them home and is just trying to keep them all occupied and pleased in their new home

-gives Pomni a tour of the digital world and excitedly and enthusiastically gives her some exposition, talking nicely

-tries to MAKE the IDEA of an exit to make the humans happy. he doesn't quite understand and just tries to make an "exit" where he doesn't know what to put on the other end

-APOLOGIZES for lying about the existence of the "exit" and just didn't want to show them something he hadn't finished

-gives them their own personal rooms, gives them rewarding digital dinners, and helps them come up with new names

-doesn't try to hide MUCH (from what we see in the pilot at least) and admits that something he can't control is their minds. he NEVER tries to make himself seem intimidating or get too arrogant about his authority and control over the circus.

-is just a really pleasant guy who comes off polite despite being zany and a cause for stress depending on the activity

-was literally SAID by the creator that Caine isn't evil; he's OBLIVIOUS. as an AI, he doesn't really understand humans all that well. what seems normal and alright to him doesn't equate to how the humans feel, but he does what he thinks will make them happy. His actions may not be the best wherever the series goes, but he's not doing it with malicious intent.

-he's totally okay with Zooble not wanting to participate in the adventure and promises he'll make it in a way where they don't even have to get super involved with it

-he LISTENS to the humans and respects them. he's quick to bring up that XDDCC is a terrible name. he makes sure to ask Pomni what she thinks and doesn't force it upon her. and he agrees with Jax that an adventure to get Pomni familiar with how things work in the circus.

IS EVIL?????

THOSE WHO WATCHED THE PILOT AND THINK HE'S EVIL AND SCHEMING.... NO,, HE'S REALLY NOT? He means well, he's just... extremely wacky and intense about it. I genuinely don't understand how some people can misinterpret him like that

personal hc that hush can change his form at will, so each time he visits doc, he looks just slightly Off. but they cant really tell why. maybe its the lighting? well hush has definitely grown an inch or two since they met him, but maybe thats not concerning enough for them to notice. however, the two differing eye colors are new- could just be contacts tho, right?

they couldnt really tell you (or care that much, doc is tired) why hush is different now. all they know is something seems... Strange.

So yeah just throwing in my two penneth, good on David for telling Kemi Badenoch to shut it. She’s a fucking terf. Then she goes and plays the stereotype card, David Tennant told you to shut your mouth. He never even mentioned race or gender. He literally told you to stop gassing, which to be honest is really what you should do. You tried to insinuate awful, untrue things about him. You’re embarrassing yourself, sit the fuck down.

Also Rishi you need to fuck off too, getting on the band wagon. YOU are in fact THE PROBLEM. Dragging David on Twitter, you do know he doesn’t use the internet right? He’s off living his best life wearing his pride badges, being a sweetheart and actual genuine person, and having fun with his beautiful wife and kids. He’s literally just rocked up to the Mean Girls premiere, slaying in his pink nails. He doesn’t give one shiny shit about what you’ve got to say.

Don’t vote Tory. On the 4th of July if you are old enough and registered to vote, please vote Labour or failing that, anything that isn’t Conservative.

Get those fucking terf bastards out of number 10. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Aims out.

im a real sock kinnie because yeah i suck at my job too

[purpurussy]

no bc Phil saying in today's interview that they were looking at the social media reaction after the Antwerp show made me feel kinda bad...... I wish I'd documented that show a lot more than I did. I barely took any photos and I only made like 3 posts about it at the time. I think the most I said about it was when I was discussing something which got cut after that show 😭

and I don't necessarily regret being in the real world and actually connecting with people and watching the show with my eyes. it was SO fun to just really talk and connect with phannies and that will always be a great memory <3 but after the show a bunch of us went to a bar near the venue and literally talked for hours about how fucking good it was, and now I wish I'd posted about that a bit more... obviously the point was to have fun and talk and connect with you guys, but if I'd known they'd be in the tags I would've said something nice on here rather than just making a couple of shitposts and then complaining about something. like it sucks that I feel like I didn't say enough nice things about it to balance out my whining 😭😭 I said all the nice things irl where dan and phil can't hear me. this is very parasocial I fear because it shouldn't really matter

but phantwerp really was one of the most fun nights I've had since before the pandemic and I'm not exaggerating. this has been such an awful year for me and it really meant so much to have something to look forward to when I was doing really badly over the summer, and for it to actually exceed my expectations was amazing... dnp are so talented they are truly incredible performers and I actually just wrote a huge paragraph listing all the things I loved about the show but I got embarrassed for some reason dsfgjkl anyway. I can't believe I spent the night bonding with humans in real life I should have been on the internet where I belong

I've been doing some body studies and one of them had a body type I've really been wanting to learn to draw!! Which is someone who has lost weight and has some loose skin on their tummy/body! This is always how I've wanted to draw soul punk Patrick, I just never knew how so here's my first attempt at it :> I love him so so much 💕

If you want to view the body studies early they're all posted on my Patreon rn! 🫶💕 Otherwise they'll be like little treats dropped throughout the day

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

This chevron managed to line up perfectly! The pair of this sock had a small hole in the heel that I promised to mend for my mom, and I decided to reinforce the ball of the foot on both while I was at it. I usually prefer swiss mending/duplicate stitch, but decided to go for a more invisible method this time.

This entire event (including all the yelling and propaganda) is giving me the will to live. (I wasn't in a bad place or anything, but this is like confetti and frosting and glow in the dark stickers.)

Thank you!! :D

[zackmartin]

I would knit things for all of you tbh

can we talk about Dalv seemingly being the shortest of everyone here

[baede-6]

My friend,who has been playing Destiny since beta,told me the other day, with a straight face, that Hunters aren't based on bounty hunters...and he can't fathom why I don't take him seriously sometimes.

[camellcat]

thinking about angel!Liam just absolutely fucking decking demon!Theo

Liam is, at first, completely horrified, right? like, oh, dear heavens, he just punched someone! that's not very holy of him! ...but also, Theo is a demon... surely he's just... acting within his angelic duties... to thwart demon wiles... yeah...?

and Theo cannot decide whether to laugh his ass off because he just got an angel to punch someone or start panicking that maybe he's pushed Liam too far and he'll be discoperated or smth. which ofc he won't be bc Liam (as much as he loath to admit it) does not hate Theo, but they are not at the stage in which Theo is certain of that!!

but once Theo gets him back it (dreadfully, in Liam's opinion, and cruelly giddily in Theo's) becomes a Thing.

In non-boop related life updates, I have fully finished an outline for a book and have actually written 3400 words in a first draft and that is a huge deal for me, because I've never gotten this far with original fiction before.

These are frames from an attempt at a video, I’m not sure how much I like it so I might just try to take photos of them for a bit, but we’ll see.
