i find it so funny how people have basically loss.jpg’d your guys so they’re recognizable as things like a crumpled ball of tissue and a loaf of bread.
look at these two characters i love them: 🟠 △

#the phrasing of this really knocked the wind out of me#loss.jpg'd#answered#anonymous#I'm kind of inclined to take that as a compliment though? if you can take the characters this far out of context and still keep them even a#little bit recognizable they can't be horrendously badly designed? I hope?#or at least that's what I keep telling myself when I turn them into various inanimate objects

A twist to the original 'meme' where Percy calls Rachel a good girl for saving him with that dam blue plastic hairbrush.

The pokemon anime subreddit fascinates and frustrates me on equally deep levels
#smiling and blinking innocently. long tags ahead :) being normal :)🌸☀️☘️✌️💐#i'm such a 'minding my own business' person in fandom. i feel like my usual reaction to seeing takes I disagree with is#'well. people probably hate some of my takes so whatever'. perhaps even the ones i'm about to share#but. man.#it's like a portal to 2010 forum discourse but goh and serena are there this time.#deeply fascinated by the repetition of old ship wars too????#what do you mean we're still having legitimate 'but drew and gary are mean' discourse 😭#i mean by all means they should keep arguing because mostly i'm just glad that the wider pokeani sphere remembers drew at all#but that being said i wonder what kind of rivalry these people would have wanted instead?????#because there's other rivalries we could point to where they weren't air-quotes 'mean'. but we have those and people ignore them lol#because they're-imo- usually less engaging and dynamic. except for dawn and zoey who have never done anything wrong in their lives.#like we COULD give everyone the supportive happy rival experience a la may and grace or whatever but that's just not the SAME#and augh. taking psychic damage and trying to be normal but that's the THINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG OKAY#are Gary and Drew needlessly mean in early episodes? yeah lmao. i'm not arguing on that. they suck ❤️ completely insufferable.#b u t#there's that line. right. the line where it slowly slides into backhanded compliments too and giving that motivation-#-for their rival to work harder and the fact that they want that reaction and attention from this one person so badly.#like shipping aside I really do think that the friction of the Gary/Ash and May/Drew rivalries is what made them GOOD.#and yeah sometimes it was out of line but also that's just how the dub is as a whole tbh. they just said whatever shit they could 😭#AND BACK TO THE BEING NICE THING. Ash and May both got growth from their nice rivalries but not what they got from Gary/Drew.#it's different types of growth and lessons and they needed both kinds from different sources. I'd argue the rougher rivalries taught more?#regardless of your opinions on the characters themselves you can't deny that Gary/Paul/Drew/Harley/etc- the rivals that pushed A&M-#had the biggest impact on their growth over the rivals that didn't push. note that 'friends' and 'rivals' are different categories for this#I'm pitting. like. gary and paul against morrison and ritchie and not against dawn or pikachu or brock or whatever. different convo.#but it was growth out of spite to be better than the jackass rival at first and then that CHANGED INTO MUTUAL BETTERMENT#AND WANTING TO BE BETTER ✨FOR✨ AND ✨WITH✨ THEIR RIVAL. OKAY. (re: gary and drew specifically)#and as a result of all of this. drew and gary did get better to be fair!#well gary did kind of just start picking on goh instead gjkhsdkfj (joking) but ykwim.#DAMN IT I'M OUT OF ROOM AND IT DELETED A WHOLE ASS PART 2 THAT I HAD TYPED OUT#fine. i'll make this its own post at some point because i yearn to yap on about it

There is something incredibly funny about the idea of you being an assassin sent to kill Goku and he just, doesn't take you seriously at all. He's been threatened so many times that it doesn't phase him in the slightest to see yet another on that growing list of 'People Who Don't Like Him'. At least they sent someone cute this time and not some guy with a weird power or something. A normal human, though, is a bit tricky for him to work around, not wanting to actually hurt you and all that.
What makes it better is that he doesn't even try to take your attacks seriously and, in fact, takes it like you're flirting. You're pissed off and calling him every insult you know and he's just dodging every attack like it's nothing. Even firing back a few lines about how pretty you are and that he's kind of impressed a normal human could have this much stamina. He'll even let you hit him a few times-sure it doesn't hurt but you've got a lot of strength that he finds really attracting.
Just, please stop yelling. It's making his pants tight and hard to move in.
#the fact of 'taking fighting as flirting' goes for all Saiyans but is particularly funny with Goku#my man has No Thoughts at all times except during combat and is incredibly aware then too#so he's not missing one word or action when you're trying to beat the shit out of him and he will take it as a compliment#that you're trying to kill him while being so weak#flattered even#cute strong little you? trying to kill him? be still his beating heart#he'll admit it's probably the Saiyan in him but he loves the fact you're trying to kill him and doing so well at it too#(if he was human at least)#he can't help but find it really attractive and be drawn to you#so long as you calm down and let him talk to you maybe he could convince you to join his side#and maybe not be so angry? please? you're really pretty and he doesn't wanna hurt you#jawbones#dragon ball#goku x reader

The great thing about purim is that you don't have to worry about pronouncing the bad guys names correctly. Like. Why should we care if you say their names wrong. Hell, we explicitly blot out haman's (BOO) name.
Which is honestly great because I was invited to read a portion of the book of esther yesterday and was sooo worried about sounding stupid
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#purim#personal thoughts tag#we read it out after services and i'm still reeling from it#especially how petty haman (boooooooo) was. fifty cubits high??? bro. settle tf down.#chill out. drink a 7 Up. eat a moonpie. quit murdering jews. like. 😐😐😐#but i'm still blown away with how much i love my shul members. they're so cool.#also so many of them have such nice readong voices??? like that's a weird compliment but i like when they read torah portions#because they are clear to understand and have very nice intonation and whatnot#with the 'chill out' tag i just... i can't take their characters seriously. like. chill the FUCK OUT.#i hope it's clear that i'm making fun of their characters as people and not the terror they sought to bring

Good evening gamers! Hope you've all been well <3 Just wanted to see how y'all are doing and apologize fir not being online often ^^" Life has been pretty busy
Also the fact I've been rereading one of my favorite manga (N.aoki U.rasawa's M.onster) means my Brain has been there instead of Self Shipping-akfsnkfnsk
#pan rambles#I still think about my f/os! it's just a little less bc I get so invested in rereading#If y'all ever wanna fundamentally understand me as a person you gotta read Monster bc T.enma changed me as a person /hj#He's a special character to me <3 Not in a self shipping way or anything like that#If anything he's like a parent to me#And a character I look up to#I could talk all day about how he motivates me to be kind and that sometimes I struggle to accept the compliment when people call me kind-#But I won't#That would take all day#On an unrelated note#Y.akuza men am I right? 👍#I can't wait to play 2 to see R.yuji amd D.aigo#And Play 4 to see A.kiyama#And play Like a Dragon to see I.chiban#Afkandksn And Lost Judgement to see my beloved Y.agami again ofc

Ok but his gardening gloves
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9fba0503dd1bb79e7723a105dd330cb0/7fa8c0ed1d4b692d-f9/s540x810/17f8d0442c47067b7678946031cbc3d29424e336.jpg)
Like hello????? The thickness the texture the way it's cinched in at the wrist the SOUND they make when he puts them on. Also the dirt. Lots of dirt. Smells like dirt
The gardening gloves might not be the softest or cleanest in the world but like. Him holding your face in his hand........ It's inexplicably sincere. A long day out in the sun
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/56f247c15bd4d59d525dbf174e906dc4/7fa8c0ed1d4b692d-2e/s540x810/e4568f8a5120c78f2ded86877d2fd763ee6b8ca1.jpg)
Meanwhile the long gloves have this air of superiority about them. Opera gloves in wool felt, keeping his hands clean from the outside world.
It's a symbol of status. And with so many people reaching out for him, the slightest touch shows favor.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d3202fb4cedef9f78824fd9ae35db912/7fa8c0ed1d4b692d-42/s540x810/9c4ae4685b948b27d9c6c3ba632261ae5658bfd6.jpg)
To say nothing of his bare hands because!!!!! Look!!!!!
#what im saying is. gloves <3#and hands#just him in general#the rough texture of the gardening gloves on your face..........#and even when you wear gardening gloves your hands are still a bit dirty when you take them off#i can't properly articulate The Vibes of his long gloves but. you know what i mean. you know The Vibes#biggering au onceler pinching her cheek and wiping a smear of soot off her face........ putting his arm around her waist at a party........#artic bites his hand and he asks if he needs to call animal control WHO SAID THAT#LET me tell the onceler how pretty he is but he's not used to compliments so he's just a blushy mess and he feels so so loved!!!!!!#let me kiss his hand!!!!!!#onceler#the lorax#lorax 2012#my nonsense

I'm going to say again like I know it is really dumb to feel this way, but I finally put into words why I get so annoyed when people ask me for a part 2 to one of my works. Like I explained once to people that writing is a very slow and arduous task for me, but it's more than that?
Picture you are an artist working on a painting. You spend months on it to get everything just right. You pour time and energy into getting the perfect composition, the perfect lighting, the perfect shades etc. And then finally, you finish it. After a year, you finally finished your masterpiece. And your work is a hit. People really like it. But then.... Someone comes up to you and says, "Gosh, I really love this painting! But you know what? I love it so much that I think the painting is much too small. You know what? You should add on two extra feet of canvas onto the right side of your painting. That way, you can add on more to your painting and it'll be even bigger and more enjoyable!"
To me, that's what it feels like when someone asks for a part two. Like this last fic honest to God I started on more than a year ago. Granted, I'd pick it up and put it back down, but I put a lot of work into making sure everything was as perfect as possible. It's not an amazing fic, mind you, but it still gave me a lot of trouble. But eventually I finished it into a COMPLETE work. It's a finished painting. That's the story I wanted to tell in its entirety.
I get why people want a part two. I get that the story ends to leave you wanting to know what happens next. But that's the point. That's the story I wanted to tell. It's complete. This isn't supposed to be pure romance. It's supposed to be more on the comedic side. But when people ask for a part two, it's like they're telling me that they're not satisfied with my artwork, that it's not perfect and needs more work for it to become perfect. It's like they're ignoring all the year's worth of effort I put into making sure the composition, wording, humor, etc was just right. Not only that. I should put another year's worth of work into making it truly perfect. It's insulting and exhausting.
Granted, like I said, I do understand people completely do not intend to make me feel this way. I'm not irritated with these people directly. I know it's supposed to be a compliment. But like.... Maybe it's because I'm prideful but I really can't help but be insulted. It's telling me that I didn't do a good job as a writer.
#rambles#'but a good writer makes people want to read more!!'#that's true but i still dont like it#i have a feeling if i explained this to my grandpa he'd understand what i mean#i think another reason why it rubs me the wrong way is... the attitude people have to fanmade content in general#people on this site have no appreciation for hard work#this site is mainly greasy fast food when it comes to reader-insert fics#when they ask for a part two it feels like they're putting in an order at mcdonalds#they're only doing it to reap the rewards of my hard work#i can't spit these things out in one sitting#i swear to god i take an average of eight months or more to release any long work#asking for a part 2 really isnt a compliment at all#you're just giving me an order#you didn't tell me a single thing about why you liked my work. just that you want more#like does this make sense?#istg writing this is like.... i am so my grandfather's granddaughter#both prideful obsessed loners that cant take a compliment#also if its not clear if you added two extra feet of canvas to the right of a painting like....#you essentially have to rework the whole thing#might as well start from the very beginning#every intentional choice you made in your painting is ruined#i know it sounds like i'm exaggerating but that's what it feels like being told to add a part two#i cant just simply add on a chapter#i have to reframe everything from the ground up#do you realize how daunting that is?

Me: I don't like Cats the musical. You could not pay me to ever see it live.
Perelman Performing Arts Center: We're doing a version of Cats inspired by ballroom culture!
Me: Ok... that's definitely interesting... I could be into it... but NO still you can't make me want to see it.
PAC: Here's some rehearsal footage of the cast vogueing to Jellicle Ball!
Me: ...I hate that this actually is working... it fits a little too well...
PAC: Also André De Shields is playing Old Deuteronomy!
Me: ...Why must satan tempt me in this way...
#by satan i mean alw#i must say generally i have nothing but love for people who perform in cats (minus the movie. or i guess minus like 75% of the movie cast)#when i watched the 98 version i was like 'wow every single person on this stage is a quadruple threat'#since they could all dance and sing and act and do tricks too#and i adore the original costume and make-up design. totally genius. oh and the set design too.#i always just say that the cast and crew deserve a better show#i've even gone as far as to dive into documentaries about the making of cats and stuff. i still just can't get into it.#i know people love it and i love that for them. i too love weird musicals. just not this one unfortunately.#maybe in this new setting for this production i'd enjoy the show more#and boy is it trying to get me to go and see it. truly that vogueing video. i was so mad.#it was like me watching Solo and seeing them fix the kessel run mistake.#i was like 'NO. no. i'm mad. no. i hate that this is fixed. no. i'm so angry.' when i realized how they were fixing it.#like cool this is better but god i'm mad at the fact that this is better#maybe in august or if it extends AGAIN i'll go and see it. but at least for this first month of performances i won't see it#i wouldn't want to feel like i'm taking away a ticket from an actual fan who already loves the show#while i'd be going mostly to see if they can change my mind about the show#(ALSO. i did not tag this as anything. so no coming at me saying i'm putting hate in a tag)#(if this post shows up in searches then that's tumblr's fault for changing how searches and tagged posts work)#(this is barely hate this is just me being mad while complimenting artistic choices. but even if it was hate i'm still not tagging hate.)#(so don't come at me)

ouuugh thinking about the Death Note OST again
#the way that Light and L's themes compliment one another but can't be overlapped is SO cool to me dshjgkdfh#And i literally just tried overlapping them and realized it would take a LOT of work to get it to sound good lmfao dgjhkfdh#they're in different keys and slightly different BPMs and though their melodies compliment one another they don't fully line up#and I think that's like. REALLY neat storytelling!! because that reflects them as characters!!#However I do believe when they finally meet in the anime it plays both of their themes and it sounds sick as fuck but my point still stands#death note#I could. go on for a WHILE about Death Note it is such a well written piece of media#and i think there's a LOT of room for interesting analysis#Death Note is supposed to be a tragedy and Light Yagami is actually a really interesting character in this essay I-

you always find a way to surprise me. - Ben @ Luce
ACHE FOR ME / WORSHIP ME / PRAISE ME
Luce watched him for a moment, in search of any hint of sarcasm or flippancy. A tone that so often accompanied them whenever they spoke to one another. "Dare I say... was that a compliment?" She teased under her breath. A growing smile touched her mouth but Luce turned her head to hide it away.

Iris looks so uncomfortable about all this and that's honestly extremely valid, Ota please stop talking
I don't wanna think of what I'd do if someone I barely vibed with spoke to me that way
#as thankful for them as I am I can barely even stand my friends being nice to me#I had this whole time when we all tried to do the ink october challenge thing and I couldn't take the compliments#they like rebound or something because the way they framed it made me think I was putting them down so I just quit#it was a sensible time too but I still don't feel very comfortable at people saying I'm good at things#and it's not low self esteem it's because I know I'm good lmao but that's not much of a conversation is it#I wish people felt more comfortable dishing out criticism even for stuff from people they like#I feel static like no one wants to trade ideas so I just can't improve cause people pretend nothing's wrong#I have a whole complex over this did it show??????#cAIta psynching time
