#that's infuriating

[beep-beep-imma-sheep]

One of these days I had my powerful 3-whole-hours of sleep. My dear littlest cousin decided, then, to show me a ... Skibidy Toilet (I think that's what it's called) video.

I did not understand a single thing he showed me as I was sitting there, nodding and musing the best smile I could as I was a blink away of plop into the ground.

I just know that I feel so privileged... This little kid trusts me enough to show me something he enjoys. He wanted to enjoy something he likes with me.

I can't possibly imagine myself doing that with any of my older cousins nor siblings because they would, FOR SURE, make fun of every aspect of it. Has happened already, comedy.

It can be the "cringest cringe to ever cringe" for all I care, he can ramble about it for hours if he wants, I'm here to listen. I'll ask questions and very much enjoy the entire conversation.

Come one, everyone had a "cringe" phase.

(I die everytime I remember what I did when I was younger).

People still consider fandoms, fics and shipping characters as cringe-. I have absolutely no right to criticize here.

And.

Again.

He's a kid. He's happy, having fun, and no one's getting hurt. Let's keep it that way.

But, for the love of God, can someone explain to me what is going on-?. I genuinely don't get it.

Btw I think I ended up venting in the tags-lmao.

With your discussion about unreliable narrators, I'm starting to think FE16's route design was flawed from the get go. If it wants to go for the mystery/questions and answers and unreliable narrator aspect, it should lock 3 of the routes and have one route be a "question" route while the rest could be "answer" routes (kinda like Higurashi if you've read that) instead of having its uwu cake and eating it.

I haven't read Higarushi -

But even if it didn't have unreliable narrators, I think TS pulled it out better (even that nonsense of a golden ending).

It is heavily implied something is shady with Hyzante, but you completely miss it in one route, and sort of miss it in another (no humanoid puppets, but freaky white horsies instead). Gustadolf's nonsense and motivations ? You finally get them in one route, as you outwit him, or in the route you rekt him, but not in the route where you dgaf about the world.

People react to what they see, and when they discover that all (or some) of their thoughts and beliefs don't align with reality.

Now, with FE16...

Unreliable narrators means Church BaD and always BaD, so when you discover the "why" of all the secrecy behind the Church being BaD, it's treated as a sesame seed on a bun (I previously compared the VW reveal to the suprised pikachu face, but surprised pikachu at least had a reaction), and it resumes the uwu.

I mean, this is the reason why I've started to appreciate less and less VW, for the so-called "lore" route, nothing really changes save for a few dialogues, but the end remains the same.

No discussion about "making two different people interact with each other doesn't always end up in roses and daisies sometimes it ends in genocide" or some "sometimes it's better to hide the truth if it means protecting some people", nope, it's the usual Clout-style "out with the old, place to the new".

Can you imagine that the supposed lore-route (I call VW like this, because we learn Rhea's full history about Nabateans, meet Birdie and Nemesis'n'Dudes + Momo) doesn't have Seteth or Flayn react to their enemies??

It's as if you put Cordelia against Gustadolf, and forgot to add a battle quote, what the literal fuck?

I'm more surprised they didn't forget to add a special battle quote between Flayn'n'Seteth when they fight against Indech'n'Macuil, but damn.

Unreliable narration utterly failed in FE16 because uwu means you can't give a fuck about the lore (Nabateans, Duscur, other states, etc etc) else all those Church BaD echoes suddenly lose traction and meaning, and Supreme Leader (and her expy Clout) looks, uh, well, misguided at best.

Imo that's why, even in Nopes, we couldn't have the "answer" or golden route - you can't demolish the uwu like that. At best she becomes Supreme Puppet for people who are, uh, in this kink, but never will anyone tell her that "maybe having pointy ears doesn't mean you are an abject creature with no regards for humanity nor does it disqualifies you from caring about the people".

Tl;dr : The narrators have to remain unreliable in the Fodlan games to support Supreme Leader.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

best thing about uncle iroh is that if you pay attention he is actually just as much of an idiot as zuko but has just mastered the art of coming across as a wise old man. the even better thing is that zuko is the only one on the planet who somewhat realizes this and no one would ever believe him because he's zuko

the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.

"The bigots up top think we're ALL fucked up! They want us ALL dead!" Hey that's cool dude you're right! Now are you saying this as a genuine expression of solidarity and community, or do you only bring this point up when the acknowledgement of intersectionality makes you uncomfortable? Is it a rallying cry, or a way to shut down people affected by intercommunity bigotry?

I’m not going to do one of those “REBLOG OR YOU’RE A HORRIBLE PERSON!!!!!!1!” posts, but please, if you have the time, read about Robert Roberson.

Neurodivergent people, we especially need to pay attention to this. This is a man who was sent to death row because he appeared too “stoic”. He was formally diagnosed with autism after. I’m sure you already know that this is only one part of a larger pattern of flaws. Fellow victims of the US’ crap legal system, we need to say something. I don’t care if you think it won’t work, we still have to give them hell. They may have power, but they need to know damn well we won’t sit by and let people die.

Greg Abbott’s number (yes, of course it’s Texas) is 361-264-9653. Give him a call if you have the time. If calls freak you out, text. If you don’t want to do that, sign the petition. You have the chance to change history right now.

Most importantly, take care of yourself. All this tragedy drains the soul, especially when it hits close to home. After you’re done with this post, drink some water and watch something nice or, better yet, step away from the screen for a bit. You deserve it and more.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that JD Vance blatantly and repeatedly lied in last night’s debate but we should still find it profoundly concerning.

…This is from one debate. It lasted like 2 hours. Imagine what Vance would try to do and cover up and gaslight us about over 4 years with unfettered access to power. Yikes.

Just one of many good reasons to vote Harris.

You’ve really gotta hand it to Brennan because Bobby Dawn had what, 3 lines between the end of this ep and the preview?

And EVERYONE wants this motherfucker dead already.

You know you’ve mastered the Southern Evangelist voice when just a single sentence makes me feel like nails are dragging down the chalkboard of my soul.

To me, the best embodiment of modern capitalism is in the phrase "please hold, we are experiencing higher than usual call volume". I know it's a lie. You know it's a lie. But you still hear that line every time you call, regardless of the day or time, because it shifts the blame. It tries to prompt you to blame the other callers instead of asking, "Hey, why are they deliberately understaffing their call centers and making it so difficult to get help?" It takes a failing caused by a deliberate, profit-focused management choice, and turns it into a problem with the people using the system, rather than one with the system itself. And that pattern, to me, is the epitome of the modern corporate system.

Goodreads 1 star reviews complaining about how the book was trying to be "edgy". Babes you picked up a book about sci-fi necromancers with a cover of an aviator-wearing skull-painted lesbian and you weren't expecting to run into any edge lords or emos? That's not the book's fault, that's a skill issue

Infinitely grateful that the FHJY finale validated my hatred of Kipperlily. She’s an interesting character and all, but she’s not some misunderstood, overlooked student that a lot of people make her out to be. She’s a self-centered, arrogant, obsessive murderer who willingly chose rage (and seemingly forced her friends into it) instead of actually putting effort in who thinks she should get everything she wants by virtue of existing
