Genuine (if probably a little irrational sounding) question.

Is it a bit much to just… ask for a little reminder that I’m likeable occasionally?

I don’t know. I’m trying to tread the line between expressing my feelings and turning every minor fall into a big whining fest about my problems. But I don’t know where the line is.

I just feel a bit off, I guess. Today was busy and kinda stressful. I feel like I didn’t get stuff done. I didn’t work on things I wanted to. I didn’t even notice it was 11pm and now I don’t have time to shower and my hair looks meh. And all my friends are going through so much and I’m worried about them.

It’s not that I don’t wanna be annoying. I don’t want to overreact. To exaggerate. To worry people more than they should worry. Because that makes me either selfish or… something I don’t want to be.

Well, feel free to try and convince me one way or another. Maybe say some nice things. Though typing that out kinda makes me feel like I don’t deserve them…

always going back and forth on whether or not it's important to point out the difference between "true believer of an extreme, fucked up ideology" and "knows how to follow the extremist money" types. like on the one hand, the result of both of them is more or less the same (just ask alex jones). but on the other hand, it feels like it should matter that so much of media and its personas are a textbook grift, you know?

I have so much to say about what it’s like to be questioning regarding gender, especially when you were raised in a strongly conservative Christian household that was very not affirming. Like I have a lot of thoughts on how what TERFs are saying speaks to me because it lines up with what I’ve learned young yet I also know it’s oppressive because of what I learned afterwards. It’s a weird tension to be in.

Given how Miracle City is, wouldn't Manny look at the hero/villain dynamic, age difference, and similar powers, and just assume that Vlad is Danny's dad. The longer until Manny asks about it, the funnier it'd get.

HE WOULD. It's also funnier considering that's the most devastating thing you could say to Danny I think. Like if it wasn't Manny who's saying it he would've been so offended he'd launch him into space

The topic was never brought up at all (Vlad isn't an active threat nowadays and Manny only knew him because of past recollections from Danny and the others) so I can imagine Manny just sat with that assumption until one day he gets to visit Danny's parents' house and makes some offhand remark about his dad. Danny gets confused and asks what he means

Manny says smth like "are we supposed to be careful around him or is he retired now"

Danny: who do you think my dad is

Manny: is Vlad not your dad?

Danny:

kacchan telling izuku that his body moved on his own is fucking crazy. like not only did kacchan remember izuku saying that all the way back from the sludge-villain incident but he’s also confirming that izuku’s crazy, boarder-line suicidal intensity is a two way street. it’s not just izuku who is insane about kacchan it’s mutual insanity. kacchan’s body moved on its own. he was helpless but to throw himself into the line of fire when he saw izuku was in danger. he didn’t think about it. he didn’t choose to do it. he didn’t have a choice. it was as if izuku was a piece of his own soul. katsuki instinctually needed to protect him above all else, even at the cost of his own life

i think there should be more robots that arent good at programming and dont know a lot about related subjects honestly. i mean humans dont have an in depth understanding of biology and anatomy just because theyre human, sure they know what kind of stuff is supposed to be inside of them but not very specific biological processes, names of proteins and all that stuff - so why should a robot know what each little part of it does? if its purpose isnt to be a self-repairing mechanic, whats the point of knowing where all the individual little wires connect to and what each of them is responsible for? let robots be a bit dumber is what im saying

Today being the last day of 3ds online has me feeling very nostalgic and wistful. I love the switch but it does not have the magic of the 3ds. It's not just about dual screens, it was the accessibility. It was less expensive, more portable, had more cheap games you could play with your friends, and a lot of people underestimate just how fantastic some 3ds games are. Streetpass alone was a phenomenon, and along with 3ds menu themes, illustrates a sort of magic that I feel nintendo has been losing sight of since the switch.

With the way games are going in the modern day (higher price tags and system reqs, tons of focus on AAA titles, people needing graphics to be absurdly good for no practical reason), I find myself latching onto my older games more and more. Sure, some of it is a nostalgia-tinted lens, memories from a happier and simpler time of life. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Even after the online services go down, I'll always be playing my 3ds until the hardware breaks to unusability and I can't find another one. I'll play locally with my friends whenever we can. I lament how things must change, but I go on anyway. Here's to my favorite console ever made, may it never really die.

Fair warning this is going to be a mess and my brain is running on fumes so... bear with me lol.

I'm thinking about Louis not uttering Lestat's name for 23 years until he starts unloading on a stranger trying to convince himself Lestat was nothing to him. He wasn't in LOVE what are you TALKING about. He wasn't a great musician who wrote me love songs so infuriatingly perfect I swam the Mississippi to bite him like a cat and fuck him on the floor! Lestat wasn't that great at all I promise look at me, Daniel, do I look like the sort of guy who would lie about something like that!!!

I'm thinking about how what Louis was doing here wasn't actually that at all. Armand read him for filth because he's always known who the real love of Louis' life is, hasn't he? And Louis couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't find Lestat (which begs the question WHY they were separated after Paris if Louis knows he isn't dead at this point but I guess the show will tell us that in the upcoming episodes lol), and this was going to be his way out. Had he been searching for him in secret? Did Armand know? I'm thinking prooooobably not but I guess we'll have to see what happens in Paris and in the final three episodes to be sure why Louis was so INSISTENT he didn't want to see Lestat even while very obviously trying to do just that. I assume it has to do with the events surrounding The Trial???? A desperate attempt to protect Lestat (wherever he may be) from Armand? Who knows!

I'm thinking about Louis insisting all he did was talk trash about Lestat and Armand immediately answering... that's not exactly how you talked about him to me. Yet Armand says Lestat's name hasn't been uttered in 23 years. Which would have been around 1950 in the timeline. Right after Paris. So clearly we're meant to understand Louis confided something about the true nature of his relationship with Lestat to Armand. Yet Louis insisted right there in that coffin that Lestat was his maker and nothing more. Again, I guess we'll just have to wait for the end of the season to see how we're meant to piece that whole thing together lol.

I'm thinking about the way the show let us hear Lestat's voice as he spoke to Louis through Armand. They let US hear Lestat insisting Armand tell Louis "I love you". Yet that's not something Louis could possibly remember because he didn't hear it. Which seems confusing but it's actually confirming this theory I've had brewing in my head that the show intentionally shows us things Louis isn't actually saying in the interview. Like making out with Dreamstat in the park. If you rewatch 2x03 there's no way Louis actually told Daniel and Armand about that. Or in this case, it's the show showing us something Louis can't possibly know himself.

And I'm thinking... why? The only real reason to do that is to drive home that what we're watching is in fact the Louis and Lestat love story at its core. I mean... think about it. Every iteration we've seen of Lestat this season has been so ROMANTIC. They were so in LOVE. All the stuff Louis tried his best to omit in season one is leaking in around the cracks like sunlight through the slats of a window shade and it's only a matter of time before that shade is opened...

Also. One more thing. Not to dump allll of this in one post but....... we finally got confirmation in this episode that Armand IS messing with Louis' head and erasing things and overwriting memories and I am foaming at the mouth waiting to see what else is in there Louis doesn't know about...

Have we considered that maybe Zevran made up all that stuff about the Crows to try and get laid and that's why they seem so different in Veilguard

DID is “friends in my head” for me, but I feel like people hear that and think “fun and easy”. It can be fun, but what I mean is “relationships that can be messy and hard and take active work to maintain”. And that doesn’t really ‘solve’ much for me. It’s more that, if I’m gonna suffer through things, I’d rather do it with these goofs than alone.

we need to run ask and rp blogs and send people random fandom questions. we have to draw our fave characters holding hands with us or each other. we need to excitedly freak out in the replies and tags of someones fanart and fanfic. we need to reblog a post 10 times just because we really like it and share fandom content we love with the world. we have GOT to keep fandom a community and not let tumblr just be twitter 2

it would be funny to me (because I'm petty 🙃), if Eddie came back alone to LA for the funeral and he did stay with Buck, and slept on his couch. but ☝️ the next say he'd be all stiff and would admit to Buck that his couch is very uncomfortable, only for Buck to reply "Sorry, I never slept in it. Tommy did but he never complained, so I didn't know."
