#talking about nonsense

[nessysims]

Сейчас произошла забавная ситуация. Расскажу коротко сначала, чтобы было понятно в чем суть. Есть одна девушка, которая строит дома и общественные участки в симс 4 и продает их. Что-то можно купить по подписке, а что-то только за отдельную плату. Контент у нее очень недешевый. Но это ее в дело, какую цену назначать. Не так давно случился скандал, где ее подписчица купила у нее постройку и потом просто залила его к себе, и дала возможность скачать другим. Да возможно это не очень красиво. Но она ее купила за свои деньги, не украла. И он польностью no CC. Теперь как к этому причастна я. Я всего лишь высказала свое мнение. Что если человек купил ее контент, то почему он не может им поделится? Он за него заплатил, не украл, не присвоил и не выдал за свой. Он купил товар. Я считаю он может его сломать, подарить и т.д. Спустя 10 минут меня кинули в бан в сообществе этого автора. Знаете, мне смешно, честное слово. Пишу, не потому что обидно. В целом мне даром это сообщество не сдалось. Просто хочу понять, может я как то неправильно думаю? Может все иначе? ˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ Now a funny situation has happened. I’ll tell you briefly first so that the point is clear. There is one girl who builds houses and public lots in The Sims 4 and sells them. Some things can be purchased by subscription, while others can only be purchased for a fee. Her content is very expensive. But it’s up to her to decide what price to set. Not long ago there was a scandal where her subscriber bought a building from her and then simply uploaded it to herself and gave others the opportunity to download it. Yes, maybe it's not very nice. But she bought it with her own money, she didn’t steal it. And he is completely no CC. Now how am I involved in this? I just expressed my opinion. What if a person bought her content, why can’t he share it? He paid for it, did not steal it, did not appropriate it, and did not pass it off as his own. He bought the goods. I think he can break it, give it away, etc. After 10 minutes I was banned from this author’s community. You know, I find it funny, honestly. I’m writing not because it’s offensive. In general, this community did not give up for nothing. I just want to understand, maybe I’m thinking wrong? Maybe things are different?

You've got me curious about Museumshipping. How would Ishizu try to fix Bakura?

This is kinda long. Sorry for the wait, and any scatter brained nonsense.

This is mostly speculation and Divine Intuition, but the main reason I think Ishizu could fix Yami Bakura is because she seems like the only neutral character in Yugioh. She’s also the only character with no real beef with him.

Like, Yami Bakura has made enemies with everyone else except Ishizu.

Shadi doesn’t like him because he killed him and most of the Plana

Pegasus probably doesn’t like him because he stole his millennium eye and killed him

Yugi doesn’t like him because he tried to steal the puzzle and kill/hurt his friends and lied to him about being a changed person

The rest of the Yugi gang don’t like him for the same reasons (tho I think Tristan would probably hate him the most because he pays the most attention to Ryou)

Ryou sure as hell ain’t trying to redeem him unless it’s right after he dies

Ghost and the Gang are in hell because of him (I hope he sent them to the cool hell)

Marik doesn’t like him because he just doesn’t like him

Odion probably doesn’t like him because he inadvertently got Marik killed by Yami Marik and he just does whatever Marik wants.

Mai probably doesn’t like him because of how he treats the Yugi gang

Aigami fucking hates him

No one else knows who he is

So, that leaves Ishizu as his last option to help at redemption. From what I’ve seen in the anime adaptation, Ishizu doesn’t see Yami Bakura as much of a threat (due to her necklace) and Yami Bakura just flat out has no clue who she is. I think these factors would make them willing to not only interact, but also maybe help each other out.

Maybe since Ishizu wants to protect ancient artifacts, and Yami Bakura likes stealing them. They both benefit by having Ishizu possibly pay him to go and find any missing artifacts. I just get the feeling that since he’s technically King of Thieves whether you think he’s more Zorc or not, he could find them pretty easily. I think he’d like having an excuse to steal.

There’s also the fact that since Ishizu has the power to look into the past, she could see everything that’s happened to Yami Bakura and begin to understand and sympathize with why he wants the items and why he hates Yami.

She snoops in his past more and more and starts to resent the Pharaoh, but she’s scared of what will happen if she betrays him.

I think it’d be interesting to see her having an internal conflict about this because she was raised to serve the Pharaoh, but at the same he hurt Yami Bakura in ways that can’t ever be forgiven.

Ishizu being the only other person to know both sides of the story could be important to Yami Bakura getting redeemed.

And now time for this plot bunny that has been stuck in my head for a few months.

I think that in the situation where Yami Bakura got his own body sometime after the Memory World arc, he’d fall on some pretty hard times. Not as hard as it could be since he’s the greatest thief to ever exist, but he is homeless, jobless, motivationless, and he probably thinks he’s worth nothing and is a failure. Not because he tried to end the world or anything, but because his revenge plan just didn’t work.

I like to imagine that Ishizu found him one day, pitied him, and decided to let him stay at her house until he feels well enough to get an apartment. She tells him that everything in her house is just as much his as it is hers (to kill any desire to steal since it’s already his. Yes it would work), she makes him food whenever he has no energy to get up, she reasures him that he isn’t a failure just because this one revenge plot didn’t work out for him, and she comforts him.

Over time, Yami Bakura starts to feel bad. Not about hurting Yugi and the gang, but he does feel a little stupid for trying to end the world. The world that Ishizu lives in. This could lead him to trying to help Ishizu around the house to show her mild gratitude, giving her small gifts (usually a hair accessory), and attempting to cook for her. That usually ends in a disaster. A disaster that Yami Bakura expects to get yelled at for and maybe kicked out. To his surprise, that doesn’t happen. Ishizu just laughs at his misfortune with cooking and helps him clean up the mess.

I like to think that at that moment, they slowly begin to fall in love.

Of course I have other ideas for them, but this one has been eating away at me for a long time. It’s such a shame that this could only work as a slow burn longfic because I wanna write so bad.

LOOK I JUST REALLY ENJOY THEIR FRIENDSHIP OK?? You can't tell me they wouldn't hang after their respective personal quests (spawn ending ofc)/emotional breakdowns over their own mortality

corny supervillain shen yuan au save me... supervillain shen yuan secretly being hero binghe's biggest supporter... save me supervillain shen yuan au..

all i'm saying is . luo binghe as a teenager that just got his powers, but he's really nervous.. cue Shen Qingqiu, his "arch nemesis" who "smack talks him" by giving him advice

for example:

Shen Qingqiu with a megaphone: haha, luo binghe, evil triumphs once again! if only you were a more experienced hero, you would know you can escape this cage with your sword! xin mo can actually teleport its owner! but you're too ignorant to know the swords true power!!

binghe, opening a portal: omg it's true!! I never knew that..

Shen Qingqiu, acting it up: oh noooo you figured it out!! now i better flee before it's too late...!!

luo binghe quickly realizes the villain is actually not a bad guy at all, and is probably being coerced into acting like one for some reason, so he puts on this whole show while secretly helping people. Binghe starts fighting actual villains and he can tell Shen Qingqiu always kept Luo Binghe out of real danger while preparing him for it and giving him more knowledge. He's never had someone look after him before so he adores Shen Qingqiu a lot

So when the Huan Hua trial actually happens and Shen Qingqiu starts getting accused of murder ?? fraud?? actual crimes?? Binghe knows there's no way that's true. Everyone is super confused why the hero whos job it is to BEAT the villain is acting all defensive and possessive of his enemy

The Crew is boisterous and loud, full of traitors, inside jokes, and secrets. The scum of the Fire Nation. The forgotten tiles on the Empire's Pai Sho board. The ones who change the game.

But most importantly—they're a family. And no matter how much they complain about their boss (teenage menace that he is), they'll do anything for their Prince.

Anything.

.

The Crew is the heart and soul of my fic For the Spirits. No one really knows just how important they will be to the story...how important they already are.

Classic Zelda games: "So Link doesn't talk because he's meant to resemble you the player 🥰"

Echoes of Wisdom: "Link doesn't talk because his ability to speak was physically taken from him by a dark force"

(edit: since I need people to understand Link can't talk at all. It was forced out of him. It's not a choice. That part of him was consumed)

"Zuko and Katara shares similar trauma"

Well, no.

Zuko is a victim of child abuse, Katara is a victim of genocide and colonization. He’s a victim of his father, she’s a victim of the Fire Nation. Katara's mother was killed by the Fire Nation, Zuko's mother is still alive and reunited with her son

Two very different things both heavy but very different

Katara (and Sokka btw) shares similar trauma with Aang, not Zuko

Heavy Is The Crown is such an interesting piece because "this is what you asked for" feels like it can point to fandom too. Like haters obsessively want a reason to hate caitlyn simply because she is from piltover. They push this extreme notion of prejudice on her, that she doesn't have. They really just wanted her to be this black and white representation of privilege to the point that they call the show bad simply because she wasn't written that way and wasn't supposed to be.

The amount of people that say the show is bad simply because they can't look at caitlyn through their black and white lenses. Because she's actually a character affected by tragedy that fuels her fall from grace. Because she doesn't have blatantly prejudice and hatred towards all of zaun.

Any group that cheers someone setting themselves on fire and dying as a “political statement” is a death cult and dangerous to everyone.

It shouldn’t need to be said, but here we go: Take needed medication, listen and try to learn from facts even if they’re associated with opposing points of view, and don’t set yourself or others on fire.

Damn, it’s like dealing with tantrumming toddlers only terrifying.

In my Zeus bag today so I'm just gonna put it out there that exactly none of the great Ancient Greek warrior-heroes stayed loyal and faithful and completely monogamous and yet none of them have their greatness questioned nor do we question why they had the cultural prominence that they did and still do.

Jason, the brilliant leader of the Argo, got cold feet when it came to Medea - already put off by some of her magic and then exiled from his birthland because of her political ploys, he took Creusa to bed and fully intended on marrying her despite not properly dissolving things with Medea.

Theseus was a fierce warrior and an incredibly talented king but he had a horrible temper and was almost fatally weak to women. This is the man who got imprisoned in the Underworld for trying to get a friend laid, the man who started the whole Attic War because he couldn't keep his legs closed.

And we cannot at all forget Heracles for whom a not inconsiderable amount of his joy in life was loving people then losing the people around him that he loved. Wives, children, serving boys, mentors, Heracles had a list of lovers - male and female - long enough to rival some gods and even after completing his labours and coming down to the end of his life, he did not have one wife but three.

And y'know what, just because he's a cultural darling, I'll put Achilles up here too because that man was a Theseus type where he was fantastic at the thing he was born to do (that is, fight whereas Theseus' was to rule) but that was not enough to eclipse his horrid temper and his weakness to young pretty things. This is the man that killed two of Apollo's sons because they wouldn't let him hit - Tenes because he refused to let Achilles have his sister and Troilus who refused Achilles so vehemently that he ran into Apollo's temple to avoid him and still couldn't escape.

All four of these men are still celebrated as great heroes and men. All four of these men are given the dignity of nuance, of having their flaws treated as just that, flaws which enrich their character and can be used to discuss the wider cultural point of what truly makes a hero heroic. All four of these men still have their legacies respected.

Why can that same mindset not be applied to Zeus? Zeus, who was a warrior-king raised in seclusion apart from his family. Zeus who must have learned to embrace the violence of thunder for every time he cried as a babe, the Corybantes would bang their shields to hide the sound. Zeus learned to be great because being good would not see the universe's affairs in its order.

The wonderful thing about sympathy is that we never run out of it. There's no rule stopping us from being sympathetic to multiple plights at once, there's no law that necessitate things always exist on the good-evil binary. Yes, Zeus sentenced Prometheus to sufferation in Tartarus for what (to us) seems like a cruel reason. Prometheus only wanted to help humans! But when you think about Prometheus' actions from a king's perspective, the narrative is completely different: Prometheus stole divine knowledge and gifted it to humans after Zeus explicitly told him not to. And this was after Prometheus cheated all the gods out of a huge portion of wealth by having humans keep the best part of a sacrifice's meat while the gods must delight themselves with bones, fat and skin. Yes, Zeus gave Persephone away to Hades without consulting Demeter but what king consults a woman who is not his wife about the arrangement of his daughter's marriage to another king? Yes, Zeus breaks the marriage vows he set with Hera despite his love of her but what is the Master of Fate if not its staunchest slave?

The nuance is there. Even in his most bizarre actions, the nuance and logic and reason is there. The Ancient Greeks weren't a daft people, they worshipped Zeus as their primary god for a reason and they did not associate him with half the vices modern audiences take issue with. Zeus was a father, a visitor, a protector, a fair judge of character, a guide for the lost, the arbiter of revenge for those that had been wronged, a pillar of strength for those who needed it and a shield to protect those who made their home among the biting snakes. His children were reflections of him, extensions of his will who acted both as his mercy and as his retribution, his brothers and sisters deferred to him because he was wise as well as powerful. Zeus didn't become king by accident and it is a damn shame he does not get more respect.

Sorry but I can't take seriously Zuko/Zutara stans complaining about "Zuko the colonizer" posts when many of you are literally calling a 12 year old Aang ( a pacifist monk and a genocide survivor) rapist, incel, abuser, selfish and misogynist.

There is a whole anti aang tag here on tumblr of Zutara shippers saying the most horrible shit about him, all because your ship is not canon (yes that's the real and only reason)

You have no fucking right to talk.
