#they demand to be taken seriously

[nevesmose]

Strategy boards occupied much of the hall’s space. These were thronged by Iron Warriors arguing how best to represent the hrud in their simulated battles. Their recent setbacks had exercised their minds as much as their anger, and ambitious warsmiths could see the glory to be won if they concocted a winning strategy. In truth, all warsmiths were ambitious, and they all had different ideas. In the first place, they could not agree how best to test their theories. Those that favoured the purity of wood block formations and outcomes decided by the casting of ten-sided dice argued bitterly with the proponents of cogitator-assisted hololith battle simulators.

I love the fact that the Silvermane Guards are essentially just a very devoted "We Love Gepard Landau" fanclub, and I desperately need for all of them to get into ship wars about it behind their Captain's back. The soldiers are all split into several factions:

Some of them ship him with Sampo 🛡💣 (enemies to lovers/hateship enjoyers; this does not necessarily mean they like Sampo- in fact it's more like most of them want to sic their Captain on him skzjsmdm)

Some of them ship him with Bronya 👑🛡 (knight and princess trope enjoyers and also a sorta-kinda "that is our mom and dad" type of deal; this faction gets riled up and ridiculously hypes Gepard up to Bronya every time she comes down to the frontlines mskdkxmd)

Some of them ship him with the trailblazer 🛡💫 (the smallest and newest faction, but steadily gaining!)

Some of them ship him with Pela ❄🛡 (workplace romance enjoyers; Gepard once charged out into the Fragmentum alone to save Pela from an expedition gone horribly wrong, and when this faction saw Gepard carrying Pela back princess style they threw a whole party)

Some of them ship him with Dunn 🛡🗡 (also workplace romance; Dunn is very flattered by this because yeah wrong Landau, but wow, the troops really think he's good enough to woo the Captain, what an honor)

And some of them ship themselves with the Captain 🛡❤ (yumejoshi enjoyers; this faction throws a massive group effort every Valentine's Day and are also all very supportive of each other)

The final faction is an odd one, because they're defined not by who they ship their beloved Captain Gepard with, but rather by who they don't ship him with. Their name is generally shortened to the A.B.S. Group- Anybody BUT Sampo 🚫💣 DKSZJJSMSOZ

Hello Raven Desertduality I’m currently sitting in my car waiting for my friend to get back. In the meantime I must ask: how you feeling?

I’m feeling alright <3 I’m on vacation and haven’t been online a lot, which is nice but I’m missing my freedom to watch a ton of wild life episodes, I’ve only seen Scar’s so far but I want to sit down and watch Grian’s in a minute :3

As far as the stuff going on with the hermitcraft community, I’m doing okay there, too. I don’t want to talk about it too much bc I don’t have anything new or important to say, but I think it’s being handled in the best way it can be; it’s one of the more dignified and professional responses I’ve seen. Things like this usually set off my anxiety but I’m actually pretty calm right now. That being said I am sending hugs and comfort to everyone who needs it <3

sci fi has taken itself way too seriously the past decade or so, so to see this new doctor who be unapologetically fun is so healing

Always you do things the most difficult way, and in the most painful manner. You cultivate a martyr’s complex, lurching from man to man, holding out your bleeding wrists so they might see how you hurt yourself. You brood in the shadows when all you want to do is scream, “Look at me!” You are too arrogant to win people over through effort. You expect people to notice you there in the half-darkness, and point and shout out, “There! There is the great Perturabo! See how he labours without complaint!” You came to this court as a precocious child. Your abilities were so prodigious that nobody stopped to look at what you were becoming.

Having a strong aversion to being infantilized/borderline paranoid insecurity about my perceived immaturity while also being autistic and ace and cafab non-binary is. Well it’s a hell of a combo I’ll tell you what

gotta talk to my boss about transphobic coworker again despite feeling like this any time I talk to her about important issues

It is of course very annoying that people are like "this isn't a show for kids" whenever a kid's show does anything darker and/or with morre depth than cartoom character teaching you the names of colors. Like children don't live in the same world as we do. Or as if children are not deserving of good media and any value found in these shows comes despite its intended audience.

But man, Princess Tutu gets talked about like that not only for being a show for kids but also for being a show for girls. While there are many people who don't bat an eye at recommending shows for boys in the same age bracket, shoujo just gets no recognition whatsoever. And people can tell that Princess Tutu is good, because well, it is. It's a well-crafted show that does what it wants to do. But some men always have to talk about it with 20 asterisks attached and some comment about how "real men watch Princess Tutu" and to look past all this girly shit.

But Princess Tutu is good because of its fabric, not despite it. If it wasn't a show about dealing with your emotions and accepting yourself framed by fairy tales and ballerinas it would be something else completely. Like, idk, if you're too insecure about liking something like that maybe you should rewatch the show and learn to love yourself or something.

Has anyone done a parody of the Arrested Development “We Demand To Be Taken Seriously” pic but with Batman’s Rogues Gallery?

Someone has to have already done this, and I would like to see it.
