very personal pet peeve of mine but i love the idea of having just one team from asia in that half-baked proposal for new teams /s
not going to go into a whole decolonisation-esque rant here but i can see that going down in flames. like whoever gets that place (in the proposal that is so stupid i’m assuming it’ll never happen) will represent only a small small portion of asia lol
#speaking purely about asia because idk how identity works in other continents#also! most likely the saudis would get it#like that’ll go down great#asia is gigantic blud & people feel more connection to the region than the concept of asia#in fact i would say most people don’t gaf about asia as a whole#u’d think they’d figure that out since they race in so many asian countries#this is just really poorly thought out#hope LM goes bankrupt! ♥️

The Hitler and KKK jokes were never funny tbh
#Like Reed I was with you until then lmao#This is like the craziest virtue signalling fandom ever#Idk why some can’t just call it what it is — classism and elitism#Why must you bring real life problems that have nothing to do with anything into this#In such a trivial and un-constructive way#You’re bloating the conversation so many people seemed like they were desperate to have considering many hate Cait because ‘ACAB’#Which. respect. but then there’s no substance behind any of that. People are just reiterating very progressive and leftist talking points#spearheaded by Black people (specifically Black women) that many people like to talk over may I add!!!#without any thought behind it. Liking or disliking a character should not be your daily dose of activism#again bloating a conversation with the hyper focus on an individual instead of the big picture of the narrative#and actively ignore the presentation of other characters of colour#ok I might as well just add my tags to a reblog lmao#but yeah idk I feel like people are just lying to my face about their leftism as they make kukluxkiramman and caitler jokes#youre not being funny or clever or really much at all. You’re just saying things out loud#Also super hypocritical since a solid (deffffff not all) of the fandom treat Mel so poorly#Ok I’m done#slay on the run#arcane#caitlyn#caitlyn kiramman#caitlyn arcane#this isn’t even a Caitlyn defence post lmao people are just annoying me#ALSO most of these jokes have been off Tumblr. I’ve blocked so many people I don’t see many of these but they’re apparently popular on twt

In anticipation for the ending of my hero academia, I gotta say: man, is anyone remembering that one time that one beloved book series about a wizarding school ended with the flawed government staying exactly the same, everyone having kids and naming them after killed off characters, and the protagonist becoming a cop?
#similar vibes is all I’m saying#I fucking hate jk Rowling and I think Harry Potter is really shitty writing#but like#we should steal the hp fandom’s ’epilogue what epilogue�� tag on ao3 cause like. same.#like I’m not saying the content of the endings are exactly the same#except for the part where an oppressive system that in a good story would have been changed/fixed/altered/removed stays in power in the#exact way that it was before#especially when the main characters end up upholding said system#but anyways besides that part#both of these series’ endings (so far) are shitty and poorly thought out and discredit the assumed morals of the stories#both of them pretend that the series was some Greek tragedy when all the way until the ending#it just wasn’t.#bnha#mha#my hero academia#boku no hero academia#mha spoilers#just original posts#harry potter critical

#the appointment at the psychiatric went well#and he is very easy for me to talk to which is so rare#and he really is a skilled therapist...#i felt a bit lighter after.. the waiting list is still at least a year but cant do anything abt that ..#afterwards i took a detour on my walk home#and stopped by this garden/park in my city#and there were soooooo many birds!!!!!!!#it made me so so happy to just spend some time with the birds#i stood and silently observed them for a while so as they walked around on the ground to find food#they walked right by me and around me#and looked up at me waiting to be given food T-T#i love birds they are so sweet and cute and cool#it makes me so sad how ppl treat them :(((#w my social anxiety and avpd it is hard for me to even feel allowed to exist as i want lol#but after talking w the therapist that actually allows me to exist i felt a tiny bit better#so i didnt care if ppl thought i was weird for standing and looking at the birds so long or giggling bc they were cute#like i get that it sounds weird and lame to do that. like ppl think it's weird that animals make u happy ...#but idk .. birds are better than people 😹 i think it's sad that humans care so little for animals#i also am not good at taking photos around ppl bc i get so anxious and paranoid lok#lol*** so the fact that i could even bring my phone out to take a few poorly taken pics is one step forward 😹#they were so cute tho and there were so many and it was a small moment of joy and i wanted to rmbr it 💗#diary

honestly, i wonder a lot about eiffel's past relationships, when 1) the way he describes his relationship with kate gives the impression it was intense and burnt out quickly (though i can definitely imagine they were very on-again-off-again for quite a while as well), 2) if we go by gabriel urbina's estimate that he imagined anne was about ten by the end of the show, eiffel was about 23 when she was born. they broke up before anne was born, and i don't think they were ever together again after (i would imagine kate was probably adamant about that, and about prioritizing anne's well-being), but eiffel was obviously still in her life, in some capacity, until kate got full custody.
eiffel's got that line in a matter of perspective: "i've been awake for twenty-six hours straight, half of it because i've been sitting by the phone waiting for a call that never came. it's like my teenage love life played out on an intergalactic scale." and while it's a self-deprecating joke, it's probably not... entirely untrue about his dating life in general? we know why his relationship with kate was toxic (the implications of "things get real sid and nancy" speak volumes), and eiffel strikes me as the kind of person who prefers emotional intensity to casual indifference, even if it's terrible for everyone involved. i don't like to lean too much on things the writers have said - not least because gabriel urbina has been very clear that nothing that isn't in the show is strictly canon - but this is all speculation anyway, and the idea that eiffel was a "tv is my parent" kid who grew up unsupervised has always explained a lot about him, to me.
kate is his most significant ex because she's the mother of his daughter, obviously, but i'd be surprised if there were many other people he was that involved with for... a long enough period of time. like, don't get me wrong, i think eiffel has had plenty of hookups, one-or-two-dates, and even ex-girlfriends, but these aren't people who stay in his life; he comes on too strong for casual and doesn't have the day-to-day stability for someone who wants commitment. he's a lonely, stimulation-seeking person - he was a teenager who didn't have luck in love, and then a young adult who made a lot of bad choices (and didn't maintain any stable friendships), and then just... kinda a guy with a lot of baggage. a lot of things just kind of fizzle out because he assumes disinterest from people who don't meet him with that immediate intensity, or, otherwise, he says he's fine keeping things casual, but then he hooks up with someone once and he gets weird whenever he sees her from then on like, wow, crazy that you're here and i'm here... just two people who are both here... hanging out... like friends do. yup. and he tries to put his arm around her and she blocks his number.
#wolf 359#w359#doug eiffel#i've been so bad at tagging things because i can never decide what Deserves to go in the tag. and i don't know if this does either#because it's just speculation without any real point but. oh well. he's on my mind. i don't even have a set in stone opinion on this really#i'm just thinking. i think he also... his pop culture brain tells him that One Big Romantic Gesture will work out for him but he always#times it poorly and/or doesn't understand why it's not enough to make up for all the smaller less interesting things he doesn't do. etc.#i also have thoughts about that line in context of 'what really happened the night of your junior prom' but that's even more speculation

In the sex lives of college girls I think it’s wild how a love interest will be the perfect person ever and then suddenly they invent a new reason that they’re terrible and it’s like a brand new character trait that wasn’t present at all before
#this is about Eli if anyone is wondering#maybe they referenced him being a party guy before but#this feels just so out of the blue#I think his character was handled real poorly tbh#idk this is just me being pissy cuz this is the one bi character we had on the show#not that I really liked him with Kimberly#I don’t like Kimberly tbh#also like ??? he just ??? didn’t try to find her and thought everything was fine st that rave?#after he was like it’s okay we’ll get you out of here#the writing in this show is so wild sometimes#genuinely I think it’s gone downhill since season 1#idk anyways rant over#the sex lives of college girls

You will get a new Wonder Woman run planned to be a long and structured one - but it's written by Tom King
You will get a new Black Canary run - the thing is, it will be written by Tom King
You will get a series of some silver age partially forgotten characters you like - Adam Strange, Omega Men, Metamorpho - but here's the catch: they'll all be written by Tom King
Why all these times I got something I wanted from DC it was like meeting this wise and cruel Jinn trying to warn me about the potential harm of my heart's desires?
"Be careful what you wish for, little one. Now take this Tom King book" the creature whispers while I sob
#the stories might not be exclusively bad or even poorly written#but when they're good it's not because of the characters he's using but rather despite of the characters#he writes characters with a light disregard for their history and personality#that's why he's better when writing else world-like out of continuity stories#you can take woman of tomorrow for example it's not a bad story per se but it's not good because of kara's traits and personality#supergirl could be any powerful and hopeful character and the story would still work#kara's own side characters are there only as an after thought comet's appearance in the story is almost random#comet deserved better#i wanted ww black canary and adam strange stories for the characters and not to be used merely as a prompt#i do think he's a very gimmicky writer too i used to enjoy his stories before#now i feel like the tone is just predictable and uninteresting i feel like i've read them already#i don't judge the readers though some ppl are attached to his writing they can be powerful tales but they're not really for me anymore#i miss the time when all tom king was writing was batman bc i don't care about his titles lol#tom king#wonder woman#black canary#adam strange#omega men#danger street#metamorpho#supergirl#batman#commentary#dc comics#dc#comics#text#fandom

first of all im immediately obsessed with the freakiness of the biologists but also why did they think a harness with a bobber was a good idea for tracking alligators? it seems silly to imagine that a bobber would 1. not harm the alligator's ability to hunt in any way and 2. not get stuck on things and immediately break. im obsessed
#im sure theres a reason why jeff chose that because theres not really a precedent for this kind of harness afaik#like literally no reason to have this weird advanced ''self rechargable'' tech#unless part of the study is them specifically testing that tech#which would actually make sense. but still#it seems poorly thought out from a scientific standpoint#absolution spoilers#<- just the first 2 chapters

i need to STOP going in tags because every time i do i get hit with "oh no one is actually posting the shit i would have considered posting" so that means now ive got to DO EVERYTHING MYSELF.
#the chronic lack of theoryposting. surely someone else is writing essays. surely. like the games built for that#im not even GOOD at interpreting surrealism#and i certainly don't have the cultural/art history knowlege to really understand most of what the game's doing with its references#are you really gonna make me toss my poorly contextualized thought rambles out there. really.#i could have been content leaving those contained in discord friendchats and just reading/responding to other people's stuff#but no one else is making those posts for me to look at. so clearly IVE gotta do it#and there isnt even any selfcest. it feels so obvious to me but no one else is doing it. do i need to pioneer this too. because i will#every media i get into is like this. id like a break from doing eveything myself but apparently you guys havent CONSIDERED THESE THINGS YET#SO I GOTTA GO OUT HERE. LIKE SOME KINDA FUCKIN VISIONARY <-yelling from my meanie megaphone#bweeeaaahh#in other news the cosplay is coming along Badly. im sure i can whip it into shape but christ alive

You made her cry, time to die.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jiang yanli#jin zixuan#wei wuxian#This scene actually takes place many months before the previous scene.#Hence the outfits looking different!#Consider this a flashback within a flashback!#Speaking of outfits - no one noticed/commented on it so I'll give my little continuity nod away:#JZX's bandages on his wrist are from the *last* time he insulted Jiang Yanli.#I considered having WWX maul him like a chew toy again but I think this punchline hits funnier. A kickline. if you will.#And speaking of other outfit nods: This is a meta nod towards JYL's first appearance in this series.#Where I accidently made the flower on her dress look like a penis. Hoping no one would notice.#Then months later...just when I thought I was safe...someone pointed it out and I *wailed*. I AM SO SORRY SHIJIE...#I really to love this scene a lot. We have JYL just trying her best + JZX being a dickhead + WWX being full of rage. Mwah. Delicious.#I especially love how the audio drama comments that Jiang Cheng is on his way over. You *know* he's about to start swinging too.

sometimes i wish i had gotten really into simblr and all that rather than just privately obsessing over all my silly little pixel people specifically so i could go on a long rant about all the problems with the design and implementation of TS4 worlds and actually have an audience to commiserate with me over it
#i've gotten really into a copperdale worldstate lately#and like copperdale in theory is probably one of my favorite worlds - it's a genuine vibe#but GOD the distribution of the lots and poorly thought out neighborhood design is like peak TS4#coiffure texts#ts4#the sims#in theory i wouldn't care (well - anymore) about not being able to edit neighborhoods#but if they're going to be hardcoded the way they are i don't understand why there's so often just...nothing there#and what is there feels like a a great idea they abandoned half way through#like everything got handed off to someone with no concept of neighborhood planning#but a deep passion for rambling hiking trails

#im glad you liked boys & girls that fanfic is defos inferior and poorly written to my stanbdards now#but i miss it SO BAD. its a baby to me with how much i had planned and how thought out it was#all the plot twists and stuff and i abandoned it cause im not into utdr anymore CLUTCHES HEADa#ive thought about starting it from scratch and just treating it like an undertale fic still but go all in with like#writing it as if its not#just to really invigorate me to get through it#boys & girls is could be my magnum opus if i could ghet back into undertale for like 5 months to write it#fuuuuck............................. i miss mettaton and his drama with undyne in that fic

it’s cool that you can go back to video games you played as a kid and it’s a totally different experience to playing something new. because the guys in your video game were also there when you were way smaller. commander shepard had my back when i was little and she’s still there now? she is so cool.
#im not religious so i dont get guardian angels in that sense#but i think if there is any version of them. it’s video game characters who you imprinted on as a baby and are still cool and in your game#when you’re older.#this is true of movies and books too but video games are a more personal experience. to me at least.#so. it’s like a comforting thought you know? like. hey. you’re still in there. i needed you a long time ago and i might need you again.#i’m 22 and commander shepard is still in my computer#you don’t get to form that kind of bond with characters *after* you grow up is the trick. you get who you got as a kid and that’s it#which either works out really well or really poorly for you lmao#but anyway. there’s a version of me in some universe that got really assassin’s creed when they were younger. after playing ac4#instead of giving it up and moving on to something else#and i think that version of me would’ve latched onto ezio like a duckling so fucking fast its not even funny.#and i’d have a totally different perception of the character than i do only having played ac2 as an adult. that’s not a good or bad thing.#just an observation. it does make me a little wistful to think it’s experience i won’t and can’t have. but it’s also not one i lost really.#i have other games that stood in that place. it’s good.#………but i do think little me would have benefitted. if they’d had that. i guess i can’t know now.#but well. commander shepard is still in my computer. so everything’s alright.

Do you guys ever think about the amount of pressure and how draining it must be to have been Orange growing up?
No no like seriously think about it, think about it.
When everyone found out that Citron would be next in line for the throne, Orange was dragged into the spotlight with him. It had to have been from the jump that people who didn't want Citron, the son of a commoner, as King latched onto Orange.
"Orange would be a better fit." "Orange should be king." "Why the son of a commoner when the next son isn't one?"
Like Orange probably heard stuff like that all throughout his life, that's a lot. To immediately be put in a box as a better fit for ruler, and you know it was a lot of pressure because he then dedicated his life to proving that point. He had to be better than his hard-working, calculative, already training/set-to-be-the-King older brother, when from the get-go people preferred him.
Sure Citron worked to win over the public's opinion but don't you think that hurt more? So many thought you'd be a better fit and now they're saying your brother is a good fit, that they're happy and satisfied with that? What? Was your hard work not good enough? Were you somehow worse than him? Did you dissatisfy the people?
Orange grew up feeling in constant comparison to Citron. Feeling in the eye of the people. Knowing that if anything happened to lead to Citron not being King, he was next up. And even with the number of people who liked Citron, there were still people who thought Orange should be King instead, including extremists, one of which worked for Orange directly for who knows how long. He couldn't relax, he couldn't quit, he didn't have the room to.
They tell us that Citron couldn't get along with his brothers because the competition for the crown but we don't get to see it from Orange and Navel's perspective much. We know they were curious enough about Citron that they'd copy some things he did, such as reading one of his favorite books. But let's not forget they had a negative takeaway from that book, they didn't get it. Their world, though similar to Citron's, has colored their lenses darker than his, to where they couldn't see the positive over the parts that didn't make sense to them, over the negative. Also, they see Citron as lucky, that he was born under a lucky star. While Citron was the one to say they then must've been born under unlucky stars, they already were somewhat thinking that to point out how lucky Citron is. After all, they had to have been comparing his luck to something to conclude he was lucky.
Being Orange was being bitter and cold and working hard to accomplish a goal. A goal many thought you were suited for, to the point that you believed it yourself, that you had to prove it to your father-- to everyone, that you had to be ready if it ever came to pass. And that's what he did.
He worked hard, and plotted, and schemed, and grew so desperate. And it wasn't even because he hated Citron. Because he doesn't hate Citron. Orange resents Citron, he thinks it should've been him instead, he thinks he needs to prove himself better than Citron, he thinks Citron is in his way. But he doesn't hate him. If he hated him he wouldn't read his favorite book to try and get that bit of understanding. If he hated him he wouldn't care if Citron died, so long as he got the throne. But he did read that book, and he did care that Citron lived, making it clear that he thought just kidnapping him was suffice. So yea, Orange didn't do all of that out of hatred for Citron, but moreso out of (self)obligation, expectation and determination.
It was hard in his earliest years for him not to desire the crown, the comments against Citron likely initially felt somewhat as a compliment. So of course, it became something more something he just had to make tangible. People believed he could, he believed he could, he just had to get there. He'd been convinced from a young age that this was what he wanted. And maybe he really did. But it wasn't easy and all his hard work never seemed to come to fruition.
He worked hard and people grew to like Citron as next in line. He studies to be prince, was days away from his coronation, and Citron shows up for the crown. Orange kidnaps his brother, (says no on the killing of him) to try a last ditch effort of getting the crown because if Citron was coronated he wouldn't get any other chances. But the one person who was supposed to be on his side and listen to him directly, didn't and everything went up in flames, which he didn't want, and he's been stripped of the chances to become king(because he did set up basically an attempted hit on his brother). And his reputation was completely tarnished, being blamed for things he didn't do, such as breaking the translation device.
Of course, Orange's actions are his own and of course he has to make up for the harm he's caused and of course people's view of him was gonna change. But gosh it's so exhausting being Orange, working your whole life for the affection, respect and approval of the people, of your father, and for it all to turn to dust. All that hard work down the drain.
You think he ever wished he was Tangerine? Blissfully out of the race for Crown, able to have time without people looking closely at your actions in comparison to Citron's, able to breathe?
#help. I thought too hard about Orange and spewed this out#Orange a3!#Citron & his brothers#The Zafran Princes#a3!#act addict actors#long post#no tldr because idk where to put one. this was very impromptu#also the intro kinda sums up the whole point of this#sorry if this is incoherent#or like is poorly written#like I said I thought too hard about Orange and spewed this out#then my brain went uhhhh#so needless to say it was completely useless in trying to clean it up#so I didn't edit it much just tried to fix the like two sentences that made me go 'what?'#lol tho I'm sounding like an Orange apologist again aren't I? lol#wrote this yesterday. still not really editting it lol.#a3! character essay#a3! essay

i don’t hate the crossroads flashbacks we got (they’re woefully underbaked but they gave me felassan cameos. i can forgive a lot for a felassan cameo) i really just wish there had been more.
i understand not everyone is here for the arlathan lore but given that the major antagonists for 4/5 of the game are elgar’nan and ghilan’nain?? they absolutely should’ve made the rebellion against the evanuris a bigger part of the game!
there’s so much to play with there to actually pull off the rook-solas parallels that they wanted to achieve if you set up the crossroads flashbacks in a way that echoes the missions rook & their team are facing in the present. infiltrating one of the evanuris’ ceremonies (arlathan forest) for example, or defending an outpost that has been discovered by the evanuris (weisshaupt).
it would’ve given them a chance to flesh out elgar’nan & ghilan’nain’s characters as well as introduce us to more of the rebellion. it would also have given the new cast an actual basis to form opinions on solas, prior to the “castling” moment.
#let your villains be complex again bioware i BEG you. meredith…. loghain….. i miss u so bad.#the bones of something that could be compelling are here but it is bereft of any of the meat……..#i really think the flashbacks would’ve been the ideal place to expand on the parallels but they never really take it there#idk. i played through the isle of the gods mission again and i dont think the harding/davrin choice does parallel disrupt and conquer#or… it tries? but really if you want to double down on the parallels you should lose your distraction team.#THAT’S the plan solas is executing in the flashback and rook plays the same card here and only loses 1 member of their team.#there’s no meaningful reason why rook loses less here. the difference between the two is meant to be that rook is honest with their team#but that doesn’t rly…. relate to why they lose only harding/davrin#the game never really lets you feel the stakes of what you’re doing. it should! that’s the only way the parallels CAN work!#they just fall flat when rook & co defeat the odds with the power of optimism and poorly thought out strategy#the moral of the story just reads as ‘skill issue. solas should’ve toppled the empire with the power of friendship’#sorry i’m just yapping today. i have a cold#veilguard spoilers#da4 spoilers#veilguard critical
