Hate when I'm searching through ao3 for a certain character tag and see fics that barely have them, where the character I want to read about is only in the background or a single scene.

Stop tagging characters in a fic unless are a major part! If they only have two lines in one scene in 150K, don't tag them!!!!!!

worst flaw in ffxiv by far:

the lack of linguistic diversity

you seriously expect me to believe that everyone is communicating in perfect british english? eorzeans and othardians have no linguistic barriers at all? not even a "using slang they dont understand" or "cultural miscommunication" problem? like. i know the echo-bearers can *understand* everyone but what about these regular non-echo people. why can the french elf from a country that has spent a thousand years in near-total isolation from the rest of the world seamlessly communicate with a nomadic mongolian lizard from an entirely different continent?? i get that for game purposes it would be unrealistic but like. it is referenced multiple times over that there ARE foreign languages and "old languages" eg "this word is an old garlean word/this is named after a padjali concept" right but like. somehow everyone has no issues. i try to rationalise it in my head as like ah the high-class characters would be educated in other languages / the merchants and those that travel a lot would pick up on foreign languages / the oppressed countries eg doma and ala mhigo would be forced in some way to learn the languages of their colonisers" but like it is SO immersion breaking sometimes that you can take an ordinary commoner from some far-flung place and have them communicate perfectly with someone from halfway across the world who would have no knowledge of their language!!! 90 percent of the time there isnt even much accent diversity either like the viera are kinda icelandic and the thavnairians have indian accents but seriously your studio couldnt find ANY other accents...

Humans spent millennia developing language as a way to communicate our thoughts and feelings…

FUCKING USE IT!!!

I hate that thing some people do where it's like. "I left my wallet on the table to see if you'd say anything" or "I wanted to see if you'd wash the car if I stopped doing it"

Cause like

I dont know about anyone else

But I am perpetually hovering three inches above the strong subconscious belief that everyone knows what they're doing at all times except me, so if you change your normal patterns and I notice, then I will assume it is an intentional choice with a thought-out plan behind it and I will avoid interfering

And if I don't notice, because I won't, because why would I, because not much bothers me and if you don't say anything to indicate you are bothered then how would I KNOW

The end result of my own reckless impulsivity

[i-merani]

Why is kindness and the desire for peace is regarded as some sort of political agenda…WHY IS GOODNESS VIEWED AS WEAKNESS?

This is so fucking funny, apparently “war bad” is liberal propaganda now??? Yes, war IS bad you fucking dipshit.

All Quiet on the Western Front (the original book) was written by a German WWI veteran who was determined to show just how utterly horrifying, disgusting, and senseless the war- and by extension all war- was. The book and its adaptations take great pains to portray the suffering endured by the common soldiers on both sides, who didn’t even really want to fight but were manipulated/forced into it by those in power. The book was even banned in Nazi Germany and the author had to flee the country because the Nazis believed the book was “anti-German” and would hamper their war efforts by showing the German people the real horrors of war.

So in some ways I guess history is repeating itself, more right-wing idiots are hating on this brilliant piece of anti-war media 🙄

Refusal to distinct 'own' from 'made' drives me absolutely fucking insane.

Just because Disney now owns Fox Studios does not mean Anastasia is SUDDENLY now a Disney movie.

Disney did not make this film. They were not involved in it at all during its production or release. Them buying the studio doesn't suddenly mean it's Disney now.

This isn't like Star Wars where the property is still being made so it can go under the Disney umbrella.

Anastasia has not, is not and will never be a Disney Movie unless Disney decides to make new content with the Anastasia property.

If it should be called anything, it should be called a Don Bluth movie!

Stop giving Disney the credit for other people's work just because they bought the studio 20+ years after the property's release!

once you notice how normalized it is to call women who are public figures by their first names in contexts where you';d refer to any man by surname you'll start going insane

I found it fascinating how Sam was almost always super forgiving of Mary. He never held against her the part she played in his demon blood infection, even though we know how much that impacted him and his sense of self-worth since he was a kid. And it kind of makes sense—he’s only heard of her perfection from John and Dean, to the extent she’s basically the Winchester god, so why wouldn’t he forgive her without a second’s hesitation?

To me, he was almost *overly* appeasing with her in every interaction. Like he needed her to like him, to love him. But no matter how hard he tried to be a perfect son, she didn’t give back. She always turned to Dean. Because even though her boys looked nothing like she remembered, she could still recognize in Dean her little boy that reached up to comfort her when she fought with John. But the 6’4 stranger couldn’t be the baby she left behind.

Anyway.

I never got the crusts cut off my PB & J.

my hole was so fucking sloppy and wet last night while he was finger fucking me and he said “listen to you. hear that? that’s what obedience sounds like. that’s what it sounds like to be a good fucking slut.”

the thing about mangoball is that it has an honest to god truly unique sense of humor pulled from online stan culture and amplified to extreme camp. and i mean this one hundred percent seriously: it’s a genuine masterpiece. genre defining. it should go down in history as one of the most important pieces of fan content ever created. the way it is such a perfect reflection of 2021 mcyttwt. an incredible satire of rpf and the way fans ignore the complexities of a cc’s humanity in favor of casting them into fandomized versions of who they are. and above all it’s fucking funny. like dear lord it’s so funny

I have to watch these video trainings for work, and it won't let me alter the playback speed. Don't make me listen to boring crap at 1x, I need 2x or nothing.
