"we need more complex female characters in fiction" you people couldn't even handle rory gilmore. you've actually managed to get worse about her, somehow
#people have a pathological hatred for her that drives me to absolute distraction#there's practically a cottage industry of post-hoc revisionist takes about half the protagonists in 2000s media these days#and while the occasional one is valid most are total claptrap from writers and commentators desperate to have the hottest take possible#all this to say. never ever look at the comments of any gilmore girls clip on youtube#especially one where rory is expressing a completely normal valid human emotion or perspective#double especially if its in the face of pick a man any man being a complete ass to her#because every single comment will be some variation on the theme of 'god she's such a SPOILT BRAT' 'she's the real problem'#'i hated rory after her downfall' 'im so glad he humbled her / gave her a reality check / called her out 😍😍' im going to kill you all#with hammers#you (wrongfully imo) critique gg for 'not like other girls' nonsense yet from where im sitting y'all r the biggest bunch of pick me-s ever#[redacted] isn't real and he isn't going to fuck you i promise you this#dickride for someone else#rory gilmore#gilmore girls#fandom wank

My favorite reading of Leo’s “indubitably” tell is that it’s not actually a tell, and Leo just plays it up as one so he doesn’t get called out when he really wants to hide something.
Especially since throughout the series we see him lie and trick multiple times without saying the word once.
I like to think that one time when they were kids Leo happened to learn the word “indubitably” and because he tends to repeat new words he learns, he ended up using it at the same time as he was caught lying. He uses the word again later in another lie, and that’s where the association comes from.
OR- counter argument: “indubitably” is one of his tells, but only for unimportant things, especially when said to family. Long plays, particularly ones with villains, are in a different category in his head.
#rottmnt#rottmnt leo#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#bro said ‘oh everyone thinks that’s a tell…well I won’t stop them then 💅’#lil schemer#absolutely a one off gag type of thing but fun to take further#listen my boy is a lil manipulative and u know what he’s so valid for it#dude pulled off the Lair Games 4D chess play like it was nothing he 100% knows what to do to get people to believe what he says and does#actually while we’re down here can we take a moment to recognize how good a planner he is as well#because in many unhappy returns when he’s setting up he and splinters battle#he (on the SPOT) decides to incorporate Big Mama’s guards into the fight as well…because he came up with a plan to use them on the kraken#like please that’s so???? nah I don’t think I’ll ever get over that

No nuance november: If your main headcanon for Gabbro is that they are "a stoner" because "they are so chill" I actually don't want to hear anything else you are saying because I am already bored
#this sounds so mean and is probably such a hot take but I actually really really REALLY dislike thid as a serious thing for their character#It's extremely reductive and derails any interesting discussion about mental health during the time loops#and is just actually kind of toxic??#I should put the nuance under a cut or something instead of the tags before I get blasted#But I actually think it is not cool or fun that Gabbro is repeatedly branded as someone who is hard to take seriously (ie hornfels)#and I actually do not think that they are okay lmao hot take. and I think being like “lmao they are just absolutely BAKED” kind of just#validates the idea of the notion that “well we cant take them seriously since they choose to be high all the time”#also sorry but they are detached. like. emotionally detached. They are not hanging out and Chillin. they literally teach protag to#“meditate” so hard they lose time and don't see their oncoming death lmao my guy weed cannot do that bro#apologies but also. if you think you cannot be detached without drugs. Please seek help or talk to someone who knows what dissociation is#outer wilds

I spent 3 hours replying to this anon simply to say "everyone gets a Vaporeon (except Sylvain)".
#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd#bernadetta von varley#marianne von edmund#ferdinand von aegir#sylvain jose gautier#fe three houses#pkmn#long post#i would literally explain why everyone fits with vaporeon (except sylvain) but that would take too much time to draw#however there are super valid reasons i could list for why everyone deserves a vaporeon (except sylvain)#also fun fact - ferdinand would 100% go out of his way to get bernadetta that shiny eevee to be a shiny vaporeon#she deserves a purple helper and friend and he will make sure she gets that#you cannot tell me ferdinand von aegir wouldnt go the extra mile because he absolutely would#also i provided a why so i dont want anyone to argue with these picks because i know im right#and i can provide reasons for everyone (except sylvain) to have a vaporeon#thank you its dinner time bye please appreciate this @ you anon i spent so long on this post

Hi all,
I know I'm not super active at the minute but I did want to put something up given the news of Iskall and Stress's resignations.
My fanfictions will, for the time being, remain up. Depending on what comes out it may not stay that way.
I will also say, don't ask the hermits on stream or in comments. This is already a tough enough time for them, plus we don't have an official statement yet. Also it's probably for the best to not speculate, the hermits will come out with a statement in their own time, we will find out but should do so on the terms of the hermits.
This is also your reminder that when it comes to commentary/drama videos to do your own research and form your own opinions.
#nix speaks#hermitcraft x reader#mcyt x reader#iskall85#iskall#stress#stressmonster#hiding this in the tags but honestly I'm not super surprised at resignations#if it wasnt through something more serious it would have eventually happened through them not really being active on the server anymore#you are absolutely valid if you feel sad about this whole thing#just remember the hermits knew them personally its a bigger loss for them than it is us the viewers#take care everyone

You guys know that the news about Neil Gaiman isn't a trans advocacy issue, right? Like... you know this is about sexual assault? Hopping on your high horse to discredit these accusations as "right-wing gotcha"s is a HUGE stretch you shouldn't even be thinking of making. What the fuck is wrong with you?
TERFs eat shit and die challenge. This post is not for you. I love my beautiful trans sisters and hope you are all safe and well 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
#neil gaiman#shocking news: people can have 'morally good' stances and do absolutely dogshit things.#(i say 'good' lightly because he did some other shit y'all ignored)#this doesn't discredit a) the validity of the trans rights movement or b) the severity of his actions.#i will not be entertaining bad faith takes on this. discussions are welcome. clowning is not.

I think I've gotten to the point where I'm just gonna not interact with or even block blogs that post v/3 fan art while aggressively and needlessly harping on it in the caption
#shut up me#Ive been in this fandom for like. 3 long years. At some point it starts to get a bit old#its New to Them which is fair and obviously its valid & important to talk about criticisms of the game#but I just find this specific genre of fan post bewildering#*beautiful fan art of a v/3 character* yeah so this game is absolute dogshit and the writers botched [X]'s character arc with no positives.#if you like this game fuck you dont interact with me (tagged using all main character and game tags)#like. um#I totally understand not liking it I think that is beyond valid in so many ways#but I just find it exhausting seeing it attached to every newbie's first dr post yknow#I can take self deprecation (it still sucks. let yourself enjoy things with nuance. its ok)#but complete aggression and pushing away the people who would like your fan art the most? I'm just confused. and tired of it#Please talk about your criticisms of the game. but why on a completely innocuous piece of fan art? that you are maintagging?#its also just basic fandom etiquette#cmon now. that is all

Pet store clerk gives Charles a bag of free treats for his ""dog"" all while Charles can feel Erik Looming in the BG
the real mortifying day is after months of getting small bags of dog treats one day the bag of dog treats has like. perfectly normal human candies/pastries or something inside
Of Course charles is confused and impulsively asks what it is/how it's different from the usual only for the clerk to reply theyre Whatever Erik's Favorite Treat Is and its that day forward erik is adamant they just do their shopping online
#snap chats#clerk fully provides this information straight faced. by the way. and still pointing out those are for “”“”“The Dog”“”“”“”“#inviting all of you to assume the three of them became Vaguely Acquainted while charles and erik were fran shopping#like you know how you just happen to do small talk while at the store. at least five months of accidental small talk has led to this moment#'oh yeah i know these are his favorite- [Insert Food Here] right' and charles doesnt have to turn around or probe eriks mind#to know he's itching to leave the store but he cant just do that lest he validate this clerks suspicions#charles absolutely wants to try to laugh it off and tell the clerk he cant give these to his dog but the clerk Just Stares#they dont gotta say anything else ... charles dont gotta read their mind ... he wont argue he'll just swallow his shame and take the goods#anyways ... if anyone needs me ... im gonna succumd to the 3PM nap#i almost made it to 4 but alas ... i am sleepy ... then im gonna work SO im done answering asks for the evening#maybe ill answer some more tonight but i really have to focus. after my nap BYYYYEEEE#im gonna giggle about this new scenario tho ... Cherik Pet Shenanigans Somehow Getting Goofier Than Previously Thought#will have to do more thinkings of that down the line .... for now nap time 😴 cause i repeat i am five years old 😴

“Raph and Mona rushed into a relationship!!”
OR MAYBE they are both warriors with a mindset of “I might die tomorrow” so they might as well let their crush know how they feel just in case they never have that chance again and die in battle with regrets.
#do I wish we were given more time to develop their romance? of course!!#I absolutely do!#but at the same time I can work with an appreciate the canon#it’s all about the context#at least Raph didn’t fall for Mona at first sight like his brothers#btw this is not to say that Raph and Mona don’t deserve criticism#the rushed romance thing is valid#I totally understand that take#random thoughts#tmnt 2012#tmnt#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt raphael#tmnt mona lisa#tmnt ramona#Raph x Mona Lisa

Kinda saw a post Abt how Hannibal is the only one who loves will for everything he is but I don't really agree with that. I think he loved the idea of what Will could be. He liked the darker instincts Will could foster, and I think that he believes that's who Will truly is but. I don't really agree with that, Will can be good. Maybe not kind but he could've lived even without acknowledging that instinct. I believe that repeating things changes who you are, and when you keep being exposed to violence and death and having to see the beauty in corpses that just messes you up. And Hannibal loves to mess Will up, because he needed someone to stand with him. To understand him.
#hannibal#probably a hot take#and honestly i dont remember enough of the show to be like “this is right” but this is how i interpet them#if you think different youre absolutely valid#i just wanted to put this out there#hannibal lecter#will graham#hannigram#oh right and theres the thing mads said about how hannibal saw a future with will#but did he see the present?

It's always so funny when people are like "I'm gatekeeping this character/ship from people who don't appreciate it or know it in the same way I do" like. How are you doing this. What brokenness within you has led you to believe it you can or should emulate a fedora-wearing geek guy who harasses women and POC at comic conventions for being fake bandwagon fans because they don't happen to know the name of a random x-men villain who appeared in a single issue.
#unless you're in a moderated space and you are the mod this is literally not a possible thing to do#people who have wildly different takes but still like the same things you do will always exist!#there's no door bitch! you can't put up a gate when there's infinite points of entry!#in all seriousness i feel like i said this but like. if you see fandom as a means of obtaining validation you will be MISERABLE#bc you won't be engaging honestly you'll be trying to appeal to everyone and pleasing no one including yourself#like absolutely block people who say dumb shit about your favorite characters or ships but like. they'll keep saying that shit#way more fun to write a good post about those characters than to try to prevent others from writing bad ones

I never really put too much weight on the twins birth order, I don't think it really means anything to them or their dynamic.
#Sibling dynamics where the birth order means something are great amazing so fun so interesting absolute bangers#But I also don't want it slapped onto every single sibling dynamic ever and Dante and Vergil are twins#Putting so much weight on Vergil being just a little bit older just isn't a take I personally agree with?#And I guess twins can do that too but I just don't feel like it really fits them#I mean it's a completely valid way to interpret the twins of course I see the appeal but I personally don't like fitting them neatly into#younger and older sibling roles because I don't feel like they fit neatly#There are personal reasons that probably at least partly inform this opinion but I'm not gonna get into that#Devil May Cry#DMC#Vergil DMC#Dante DMC

She heard me doing things so she came up to the side of her baby bin and blelelelele'd at me until I noticed her. She greets me every morning where we spend the first hour of every day together, her just resting in my hand and me holding her, often gently petting her head and tiny scales. If there is a heaven, that first hour we spend together is it.
She is getting a larger enclosure for her birthday in a month and a half. :D Hopefully I can get it done in time, as I haven't sculpted a custom enclosure before and will be trying some new artistic critiques. I do have experience sculpting though. My biggest worry is the paints and sealing them properly! Art I can do- but food safe art that will be in a moist bioactive enclosure is new for me.
#From her enclosure camera#hognose#hognose snake#snake#pets#She is getting a bigger enclosure soon it is preordered and we need to wait#She greets me like this every morning#She ate yesterday and should be in a food coma!#You can even see her lump#So I gave her pets and told her I love her#From inside her enclosure the photo of her being held is from yesterday#She really enjoys pets#Especially after a big meal#I need to get a video of her asking for pets#She will pet herself with her chin#And when I stop sometimes she will pet herself with her chin asking for more!#And then I will pet her and she will relax looking like she is in heaven#Those posts saying “snakes cannot enjoy being pet and will only learn to tolerate it” are absolute BS outdated information#from people who are insecure that they are less valid as humans if animals are capable of feeling love and asking for affection#My snake will LITERALLY ASK TO BE PET#And she will pet me too!#I think she saw me petting her#Thought “This feels nice. Is this what we do for each other?”#And when we are snuggling she'll wiggle over to my arm or shoulder and start petting me. She doesn't pet me in any other places.#It is a lot of effort as she has no hands and has to use her chin#moving her whole upper body#So she'll only pet me maybe 20-10 times and take a rest#Does anyone else's snake pet them?#It is unusual but I think maybe she learned it from copying me and it makes her happy ^_^#What a wonderful world we live in where snakes enjoy being pet

whatever og text i had in mind for this post about ko shibasaki looking like sayama in this movie is completely cancelled on account of utsumi (this character)'s first name being kaoru and i only found this out cause i was looking up her name just to be sure when making this post
like jesus christ i legally have to make this post now
#snap chats#they literally never say her first name in the movie. i think lol LIKE WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS JUST 'NO FUCKING WAY'#i do have to be tbh and say her face /is/ a little more round than sayama's#and its absolutely predominantly because of how her bangs and wardrobe are so close to sayama's that i think she look like her#BUT I CAAAANT THE WHOLE MOVIE I WAS JUST THINKIN ABOUT SAYAMA... i miss her...#OH RIGHT THE MOVIE THOUGH noooo fuck you this movie was so good it actually made me want to write a summary for it LMAOOO#LIKE I LIKE WRITING SUMMARIES BUT IVE JUST BEEN SO LAZY ABOUT IT WITH THE PAST FEW THINGS IVE SEEN BUT GOD.#ignore the fact i finished this movie two hours ago i was too busy fiddling with a card holder kit but. ill make a post about that next--#THIS MOVIE THOUGH NOOOOO IT WAS SO GOOD //SCREAMS AND YELLS AND DESTROYS A SNOWGLOBE//#god the part where ishigami and yukawa are walking by the homeless and it just lingers on an empty spot.. LIKE I THOUGHT I WAS WACK#CAUSE I WAS LIKE 'hang on wasnt there a guy there last scene' and obviously there was since the shot lingered right#BUUUUTT WHEN IT WAS REVEALED DOWN THE LINE SHUT UPPP I LITERALLY YELLED IM SO GLAD. my roommates arent home..#on god i thought the movie was gonna end with utsumi and fukawa's convo from the beginning#and i was gonna make a gaf about how fukawa was acting irrationally because he was too in love LMAOOO#BUT THEN IT KEPT GOING AND. im so glad it did. ishigami valid tbh#id also cover up and take blame for AND ACTUALLY commit murder for a girl if she said hi to me and made me lunch while i was trying to kms#while fukawa and ishigami were talkin that first night tho i just thought of after the rain.. lol... maybe the mangaka was inspo'd by that.#anyway. this movie was great. it reminded me of sherlock but if it was directed well and actually let you solve the mystery too#CAUSE WHILE I WAS WATCHING THERE WERE POINTS WHERE I TOO WAS JUST 'hang on' AND I JUST POCKETED THE INFO FOR LATER#i kicked and screamed when ishigami was talking abut how he formats his tests LIKE I SAID 'oh you fucking slipped'#when ishigami called and told her he had a white envelope in there bitch i knew it was gonna be the stalker letter i YELLED#LIKE I LIKE HOW THE MOVIE SETS THINGS UP SO ABUNDANTLY. IT'S FUN SEEING IT FIT IN THE MOVIE LATER ON#the twist of there being two bodies was so fun tho cause at the start of the movie i was sure two murders happened the same night#so when it was played off as just one i was like Oh. Ok. im still stumped on how he snuck a body out of the apartment#but yk what one detail is like. whatever in comparison to the rest of the movie being fun to watch#god im running out of tags POINT IS. PLEAAASE watch this movie if you got two hours#ive left some minor warnings on my Watchlist doc but there's nothing. TOO extreme ??#i mean there's an aforementioned suicide attempt but aside from that it's nothing too grotesque. for an rgg fan ig#ok bye i have to ramble about the card holder i got <3

if more people knew Herstory (aka 2004 season and sete&vale) so many questions wrt 2015 season(mostly “why would vale….”) would immediately be answered addfghjk like guysssss guyssssss
it is kinda funny that there's a simple cheat code out there to understanding most of valentino's career but it's just about long enough ago that most people simply... ignore it. like there's a three year span that more or less tells you what you need to know about him. it's like you say! pretty much every possible "why would vale..." secretly has a straightforward answer, and 9/10 it's something that was established in 2003 to 2005. simple as
if anything it's almost annoying because it's too easy. the 2004/2015 stuff in particular is incredibly funny. oh, so you say you have a controversial last lap at assen where valentino beat a rival in direct combat and said rival reacted surprisingly poorly, making valentino reevaluate his relationship with the rival? might that tell you something about how a seed of suspicion once sown can remain dormant for months until valentino is given cause to revisit it? valentino quite literally says in his biography that he could never have hated biaggi because he wasn't a friend and didn't have the power to hurt him... the sepang pressers thing is genuinely just silly, I know this is mainly a function of when they happen in the calendar but what a bizarre coincidence. 2015 is like a slightly more opaque funhouse mirror version of 2004 - but so many of the major beats are virtually identical. which means you've got a season Out There where a younger less experienced less guarded less cynical valentino basically walks you through his internal processes so you get a really good handle of what his deal is. he's piecing together his identity as a competitor going forwards in real time - and then in 2015 he just reminds you of what exactly that identity involves. it's a reaffirmation and not a departure... he's not that inscrutable after all, in the end
#i kinda feel like i've done my civic duty on that front like it's now easily available for the people if they choose to Perceive#with the vale/marc rivalry in particular obviously you'll always be hampered there if you're not paying much attention to pre-2013#but also the sete stuff is open to BORING bad faith interpretations so i'm extremely fine with the details remaining niche#u do sometimes see a take where u go Well Ackshually if u consulted this obscure interview from 2004 - but that's the devil talking#it's fine and valid to not care about valentino's interiority but obviously there's only so far u'll get with that#//#brr brr#batsplat responds#fun story: the sepang 2004 presser isn't available in full in the actual motogp search function#so for ages I heard the commies refer to it in various races and was SO frustrated because I had like. a minute's worth of clips#and then I did some creative googling and eventually discovered it WAS on the website but just not. searchable#first time I watched it my mouth dropped open cartoon-style like wdym this is a thing that happened this is a thing that exists#it is absolutely BIZARRE that this is out there it genuinely broke my brain. and nobody talks about it???????#probably for the best but you really wouldn't know valentino's villain origin story is literally just. out there. like you CAN watch it#I've heard some people canonically were already motogp fans in 2004 and it's kinda incredible this has been completely memory holed#if I'd been a journalist in that presser I would literally never shut up about it. not a SINGLE sepang 2015 article makes reference to it#I have not seen a single person apart from myself make the EXTREMELY obvious connection and I just?? how is that possible??#IT'S LITERALLY IN THE SAME PLACE MOST LIKELY THE SAME ROOM LIKE THIS ISN'T A BIG LEAP#maybe he really is some kind of malevolent demonic creature because at this point... people were canonically in that room y'know#//curst#idol tag
