I understand how, from an angst perspective, the whole “Percy will never really be apart of the Blofis family” is an interesting idea but it’s also such?? Bullshit? Like what do you mean? He calls Paul his dad? That’s his family? Go? Fuck yourself?

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
#star trek#Vulcans#Humans#not based on a specific thing#but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’#who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field?#like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq#and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first#would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate#and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for#and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance#the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times#they were just dicks#and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it.#it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible#you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier#but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks.#that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on#and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post#but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks#and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be#replaced#hated that couple#if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us#(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀)#liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people#that no one else wanted to be friends with#I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone#this got long sorry 😭

i think i wouldn’t hate disco elysium’s collage mode nearly as much if it weren’t for 1) the way that it was marketed in such a tasteless, soulless manner, let alone the fact that it was a last ditch distraction from a dead on its feet studio piloted by dumbass thieving execs and released on the day of the court declaration, and 2) those dumbass fucking stickers
like if it had been included with the base game from the start and had been titled something a bit more tasteful and in-line with how i would have liked the feature to be marketed as— something like “exploration mode”, something that perhaps could only be unlocked after completing the game for the first time, AND didn’t have those stupid as hell visually and tonally incongruent with the artstyle stickers, i would have applauded it as a nice little bonus for being able to study and appreciate the 3d models and environments for reference.
#it is just so bleak man.#i have no words left to say for the latest development at zaum studios so instead i will just remember how fucked up this was lol#those stickers are the same energy as that dumbass fucking christmas card they put on steam.#cutesy fanart is awesome and all but don’t muddy the tone of the actual source with it. why is that necessary.#for gods sake what happened to boundaries#again i probably would take a different tone to even the stickers if#it had been done under the original creators (which i don’t think it would have‚ which is my point‚ but say hypothetically it happened)#but with the circumstances the way they are it is impossible to not view it all as tainted with a veneer of absolute tastelessness#and a disrespect to the source material and a sorry attempt to appeal to the shallowest parts of ‘fandom’#like you can add cartoony emoji faces and a sticker with harry and kim as cats. or their hands with the caption ‘best friends!!!’ (wtf lol)#and a frame with a bunch of pride flags being waved around (hard to articulate why i feel doubly annoyed of this one.#your corporate pride parade aesthetic is showing again. also it feels… lazy)#but you can never‚ ever erase the fact that you are parading around a stolen IP that you are entirely out of touch with#and one that you clearly have *no idea what to do with*#(something that we’ve all known for months with these hints but today has finally been basically confirmed as the sequel seems to be#officially cancelled with the last of the original writers’ crew being laid off)#how could you have known what to do with Elysium? how could you ever have?#hope you have fun with your stickers. rot#disco elysium#me talking

I do think that sometimes when people have terrible opinions about actual play, especially about bold choices, it's because they haven't played D&D much, but honestly just as often I feel it's because they have played D&D and they're projecting their own frustrations with a past home game onto the players or DM. And frankly, more and more often I find that when I really dig into opinions I don't like there's a small amount of obvious bigotry, and sometimes it's an ignorance D&D mechanics, but more frequently it's ignorance of heroic fantasy as a genre, and most of all it's just the sentiment of "I am feeling uncomfortable when we are not about me blorbo?"

So this morning we had to see a new wave of attacks on Gavi because the Spanish media decided to blame him for Tchouamini's injury while using a clip where they clash with each other at some point in the second half. Mind you, in that same clip you can see it was Tchouamini who was charging at Gavi and not the other way around. But obviously people never care about the truth and just went on blindly hating on Gavi and vilifying him. Again. It was to the point that Tchouamini himself had to come out and say that Gavi wasn't at fault and that he got injured in the first half. A rival player had to come out and defend him because even he can see the way people treat him isn't right. So there you go. Another instance where he gets blamed for shit he didn't do.

If Mass Effect wants me to believe that Tali doesn't care for female!Shepard romantically then why 1) does she have the same dialogue with her than she does with male!Shepard after her loyalty mission, where she calls her dashing, says she'd love to sync suits with her, and such and 2) Why, after all this, does her dossier in the shadow broker base show this:
Tumblr media
(while playing as femshep!) i mean, unless she's getting hot and bothered by fucking. donelly. she's as much into femshep as she's into her male counterpart.
I think that, for some reason, it's femshep that's not into Tali, and no the other way around. And it's still idiotic because she's also "bisexual", as opposed to broshep, who can only romance men starting from me3.

Wait, I only know like, vaguely of the Warrens and their existence. They were traumatizing families?
hellooo sorry this has been sitting in my askbox for months BUT without scrounging for articles i can really only say that I think diagnosing troubled children with demon possession and performing exorcisms on them (and that inspiring the use of "demon possession" as an insanity defense, as in the "devil made me do it" case) is unbelievably dangerous and harmful religious bogus. this did cause a rift in the Glatzel family between the siblings that still believe in the possession vs those that saw through the manipulation and don't appreciate the intense media attention it garnered, especially when their brother was clearly struggling with meltdowns and delusions and instead of getting help, their parents called the Warrens. i also think it's disgusting to use the real & then-recent murder of 4 children as the focal point of a haunted house story, ie the amityville horror. they're well known at this point to exaggerate and falsify everything they write to make it more sensational for money, while using the real names of the people they write about. the families are generally on board but i don't blame them half as much as i blame the lifelong career grifters

i'm watching s2e2 of masterchef, australia and they have to make a beef wellington. during the tasting of a specific contestant's dish, preston starts to talk about the history of arthur wellesley, the 1st duke of wellington, who was a general in the british army back in the 1700s. he specifically talks about how he came to prominence for a campaign in india (aka invading and expanding the colonies) and pulls similarities to the contestant, jimmy seervai, an indian man.
i know you're complimenting him preston BUT WHAT THE FUCK!? maybe don't bring up the colonisation of his people to do so????

i feel like im never going to be fully satisfied by any saw sequel (or the fanbase for that matter) bc i dont think the majority of ppl involved read jigsaw the same way i did.
#all these attempts to like humanize and flesh him out just end up totaly misrepresenting him and his goals#no he is not actually trying to improve the world hes a sadistic little man whos angry about dying and coping with it badly#he gets a front row seat to all his games and cuts trophies off his dead victims. bc he likes the violence#he puts people who absolutely DID NOT DESERVE IT (in saw 1 at least) in these elaborate death traps that they overwhelmingly fail to escape#sometimes he puts a completely innocent person in the crossfire (like seriously who is that guy who amanda had to kill to get her key)#hell they explicitly say that guy in the chair trap did nothing wrong he was just dying 'for a greater purpose' to test the trap.#but nobody ever acknowledges all this its just like 'what if we give him depth by saying serial killing isn't so bad'#and it never works and usually ends up with him being unbelievably self impressed and annoying#id honestly rather they explore his 'depth' by just. expanding on him as in denial and wanting revenge#which tbf i thought X was doing a decent job at until the last half hour when they threw the character study away entirely#like just give me a jigsaw who is angry at dying and takes it out on the Living because he has no other outlet. ill accept that.#him killing people who need to go can be like. gory tasteless fun in the sequels but it makes it like.#idk. less satisfying to me? or it just puts this wall up that makes the movies not come together the way the first one does.#avpost#movie diary
