â¤ď¸ both Ignis and Gladio in the western fandom. they both had their personalities completely changed for the english dub. a good 90% of the fanon surrounding them is completely OOC.
𧥠pretty much anything that makes the finalized FFXV more depressing than it already is, lol. i hate angst and avoid any theories tied to early development or Versus XIII.
đ ig/no/ct, because Ignis and Noctis were written to be family members, and canonically see each other as such. this information can be found in the Japanese FFXV guidebooks and Official Works. most of the dialogue in Episode Ignis was changed in the english dub and does not reflect canon.
đ again, most of the western fandom does not actually know Ignis because they only played the english dub. if you think Ignis is british, you've already lost.
đ all of them? (except Ignis.) i'm asexual, lol.
đ whenever the subject of Ignis' hairstyles comes up, the pompadour always loses. Older Ignis is Ignis in his final, hottest form and the pompadour is his best hairstyle. đ
đ i like the less angsty finalized version of the game, i think Tabata did the best he could with what he had and i don't fault him for anything, and i don't mind everything being broken up into different media. more fun for my autistic brain to find new bits of lore, lol.
đ Lunyx. i think Noct & Luna would have worked waaay better with a platonic dynamic, there is no chemistry between them. Nyx & Luna had chemistry, however brief, and no prophecy to force a relationship upon them. i wish Noct could've been with Prompto, and Luna with Nyx.
đłď¸âđ lesbian!Aranea is a popular headcanon, but i think she's into men. she seems to like Gladio quite a bit, lol.
đ anyone who i wanted to die already died, lol. Ardyn, Drautos, Verstael, Caligo. good riddance.
Ask game: unpopular opinion edition <3
â¤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?
đ§Ą: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
���: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?
đ: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?
đ: Which character is not as hot as everyone else seems to think?
đ: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?
đ¤: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?
đ¤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?
đ: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?
đ: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose?
đ: What is an unpopular ship that you like?
đ: If you had to remove one book from the series, which would you choose?
đłď¸âđ: Which character who is commonly headcanoned as queer doesn't seem queer to you?
đ: If you had to choose one major character to die, who would you choose?

PILE 1Â
Challenges to overcome or events to experience in your life before meeting them: 2 of Swords, Wheel of Fortune, 7 of Pentacles, Knight of Swords, 8 of Cups.Â
I think itâs got something to do with a change in your life path; things in your life moving in a direction that is unexpected, or that is different from what you initially visualised your life to be. There may be some external events that will be contributing to this development, that will be nudging you in this direction, or that will make you aware of this path. For some of you, it will involve a change in fortune; meaning that, if you take this new path that is being presented to you, you may feel like thereâs a possibility that you can change your fortune. For others of you, this path will come to the surface the further you work in the direction that you think you are going. Itâs like, letâs say you are currently working on X, but the more you work on X, the more Life directs you to Y path, or the more Y path becomes visible to you. X and Y may be related, they may be logical outcomes of each other. Like, pursuing a film major and wanting to work at X company, but then instead of going to X, you are presented a choice to go to Y organisation instead which will take you to a place you didnât consider before. Itâs that kind of event.Â
Whatever it will be, you will have to make a decision, and this decision may cause some internal conflicts; you wonât know what you should choose. For many of you, this decision may involve you leaving something behind;Â this could be a place, an old idea of how you think your life should develop, it could be a project or skill youâve been working on, or it could also be a relationship, if youâre in a relationship. For the latter, it feels like the typical event in films where one character has to break things off with their partner because they are asked to move, or they want to take on a project somewhere else and they canât make the relationship work. This change of events may also highlight what isnât working out in this relationship, path or place. Â
You may also be asked to assertively solve your problems; the solutions may be presented to you by Life itself, and you may come to a standstill where you have to make that decision. In order to progress, in order to reap your hard work, you may need to be more assertive or direct in pursuing certain things, and this will lead to a change in fortune. So yeah, there will be introspection, inner conflicts, not knowing which decision to makeâyour heart and your mind will be pulled in different directions, or youâll feel like there are many things that make it difficult for you to make a decision. But I think, at the same time, the answer will be clear to you. There may be a change of perspective, or Life may show you something which will make it clearer to you, and you may choose to move on from whatever it is in the past, in search for something better for you, in the direction of what you believe will help you progress and change your fortune.Â
Advice for you is to stay centred in yourself, maintain that emotional balance and maturity, and be patient with yourself. I think the answer will be obvious, but the process of coming into the answer may require you to be confident in your ability to make decisions, it may require you to sit in your feelings and hear yourself out, it may require you to have a mature outlook instead of just following purely feelings or purely logic. For some of you, you may also need to believe that if youâre destined for a relationship, itâs not going to miss you. If youâre destined to be with someone, your relationship isnât going to fail. There may need to be some reliance in the Universe with regard to your relationships, and about your emotional fulfilment. To remain strong in yourself, and trust that whatever wish or hope you send out to the Universe will not miss you even if you suddenly change your direction. I do feel like thereâs a strong message that you will take this new path or that you will follow the direction that Life shows you; whether or not youâll leave behind your current relationship (for those of you who are in a relationship).Â

PILE 2Â
Challenges to overcome or events to experience in your life before meeting them: The Lovers, 9 of Cups, 6 of Cups, The World, Wheel of Fortune.Â
I think you will be pursuing your passion here, or dream, especially something that is related to your past or childhood passion. For some of you, you will do this just for fun; itâs just one of the things that youâll do because it brings you enjoyment, and it makes you get closer to yourself. It feels like a desire to express the highest form of yourself, or to be in that joyful and dreamer energy; this dream, passion, path will feel achievable to you. For others of you, you may have a bigger goal; you will have imagined that pursuing your passion or doing this thing will eventually lead you to something bigger, like you could move to a bigger stage, you could go global or internationalâthere's something with the external world, Iâm talking about something big, something that will feel like destiny to you. You may have imagined this for yourself, and because of this, youâll pursue whatever path this is. Â
Regardless of what your goal will be, you will reach it and you will live that experience; it will feel expansive, it will feel lucky, it will feel like youâve achieved your dream or wish, it will feel like this is one of your highest accomplishmentsâespecially one that represents who you are, your talents, your soul. It will make you feel like you are on the track of self-actualisation, or you have done something that has a spiritual meaning to you. Something will reach an end (this is not negative) and reward will come, and you will enjoy it. So you will have done something here related to what Iâve just mentionedâpossibly passion, wish, etcâand you will feel on top of the world, you will feel achieved and things in your life will feel like itâs moving in an interesting direction, a bit unpredictable but it will feel expansive. For some of you, youâll meet your person either during that stage (after the end / achievement has just come to be) or after this stage entirely; but for others of you, the message will be in the next section.Â
This may involve you meeting someone from your past, especially past lovers or partners. Iâm not sure if you will get into a relationship with them again (some of you might, and they might be your future spouse). But either way, you will feel positive about this past encounterâor this past encounter will lead to you getting in touch with yourself and pursuing what brings you the highest enjoyment, which will eventually lead you to your person. Of course, like I mentioned before, for some of you, this is you reconnecting with your childhood memory, passion or dream, and you will do something about it that will lead to a sense of achievement and accumulation of experience, and it will feel lucky. This may also involve getting in touch with many peopleâthere could be many emotional interactions or connections hereâespecially with the general public. For others of you, this may be talking about people online, people abroad, people from different countries. I think your life at this point may also make so much sense; there are a lot of circles in the cards, so it feels like something that started in the past and will reach the point where it connects back to where it beginsâso it becomes whole. You will feel whole too. This will generally be a positive experience.Â
Advice for you; keep working on yourself, your path, your skills or whatever it is that youâve got your eye on. Constant learning, constant improvement (but with curiosity and light-heartedness of a child, instead of stress and jadedness of an adult) and constant movement towards what you feel called toâthese will eventually lead you to your person. Your progress and movement do not have to be fast; they just have to be consistent. You are advised to hold on to that optimism, the belief that can you do amazing things. You are also advised to connect with the society, community, the world around youâwhat I meant by connect is not necessarily socialising; itâs more about your emotional connection with the world outside yourself. Connect that to the work that you are doing. For some of you, this may feel a bit exhausting sometimes, so take your breaks, but always come back to that hopefulness and that diligence, and put in the effort to reach the stars.Â

PILE 3Â
Challenges to overcome or events to experience in your life before meeting them: 7 of Pentacles Rx, Justice Rx, 3 of Swords Rx, 5 of Swords, The Fool.Â
Yeah, this will be a challenge. For some of you, this challenge has been brewing under the surface, so it will come out and you will realise it or you will be made to realise itâyou canât pretend itâs not there anymore, or you canât try to hold on to it anymore, you canât try to prolong the heartache anymore. For others of you, certain events will be obvious but some events may be quite hidden, so at first you may not understand whatâs truly going on (what forces are at play), or what you are supposed to do. And when you do realise it, you may try to suppress or hold off your emotional reaction to it, not sure why. It could be that you will try to hold on to something here, something youâve been putting effort into or investing yourself in, something that you are emotionally attached toâanything like that.Â
I feel like for many of you, this challenge will involve people. There may be misunderstandings, arguments, or disagreements, or people misjudging you / your intention and words. For a few of you, it may feel like bullying; Iâm not sure if it is, but it may feel that way. Itâs like within a friend group, something happens, and people take sides and you feel like you are standing alone. Something like that. For some of you, it may feel like youâre trying to manage multiple perspectives, or juggle different sides / opinions to the point that itâs hurting you. For others of you, it will be a battle of some kind, it could be related to lawâI'm not seeing anything super big or significant though so this may be something like contract issue or small dispute. There will be a feeling of being treated unfairly though, like there will be unfairness somewhere, some kind of injustice and imbalance. You may also feel like you canât freely express your hurt about the situation; because for some of you, the unfairness or injustice may be hidden. Like you will be able to feel it but it may not be addressed out in the open. Some of you will hurt some peopleâs feelings or you will get your feelings hurt when you defend yourself or argue your case.Â
Whatever the event may be, it may put a halt to or make you have to abandon the previous thing that youâve been working on. You have been building something here; this could be anything like a path, project, job, programme, skill, investmentâsomething that you put effort into because itâs getting you somewhere, because you want to progress. But because of the conflict, you may not be able to continue, or your effort may feel like a waste. Itâs probably not really a waste though. Whatever it will be, you will start anew; you may take a new path, and it will feel more liberating and exciting than whatever these restrained energies are. For others of you, itâs precisely because you will be taking a new path that this conflict happens, almost like your new path disturbs or goes against some people; in this case, I think you will still proceed with that new path, but the progress may experience some kind of delay, until you overcome this conflict, so this will be like, a blockage. You will end up learning from this experience. Â
Advice for you; donât be too accommodating or kind. King of Cups in reverse fell on top of Justice in reverse, and when I took it, I kinda accidentally dragged the Justice. So I think both cards are related in some way. I think one of the contributing factors to that imbalance may be your tendency to understand the other parties, to accommodate them, to want things to workâbut this can only work well for you if they do the same thing. But if they donât, it can become unbalanced, and you may be treated unfairly as a result. Donât think too kindly of people; I mean, donât start being suspicious of everyone, but if people have shown negative traits to you, donât explain and give positive meanings to those traits to yourself. If you have a tendency to give yourself to others too much, maybe restrain that a bit more. Youâve got to support yourself first before you do it for other people. Â
Some of you are a bit too nurturing that people take advantage of that. You may also have a strong sense of responsibility, so you give yourself too much sometimes. Remain centred in who you are, your beliefs and your valuesâregardless who will be questioning you or starting issues with you here. Be mature, donât add to the fire, but have confidence that you know what you are doing and you are doing the best for yourself here. Donât settle for lessâfor example, if you get involved in some kind of dispute, make sure you get your fair share / compensation because you deserve it. So there needs to be that feeling of âI deserve to ask for this, or to be treated this way, or to hold this position without being disturbedâ, because itâs a basic thing to ask for.  Â

PILE 4Â
Challenges to overcome in your life before meeting them: 4 of Pentacles, 6 of Wands, 10 of Swords, The World, Page of Cups (Ace of Pentacles).Â
I feel like there will be several, and these things may be different from one another. Youâve got multiple energies here, and I asked how these things connected to one another, you got Ace of Pentacles. So itâs either one event leading to another event and to another eventâor multiple things happening at the same time and theyâll just end up leading you somewhere new. It is also possible for some of you, that these events, although they may look different, all of them will be related to material opportunities. For example, in order to pursue those opportunities, you may experience these events. Or experiencing these events will eventually open up material and financial opportunities for you.Â
Now what are the events. There will be something with regard to your home life, most likely your house, or your physical location. I feel like itâs been or it will feel quite difficult to live there, or something wonât be that satisfying, or you will feel like youâre storming through difficulties or inconveniences, or youâve got to hold on to this place for whatever reason (like a lease) before you can move on to the next one. So it will feel that way. It wonât be that unpleasant, I mean, you will still have your stability but you may feel like you need to hold on or deal with some things. Â
Now, another thing that you may experience is a victory; you will feel on top of the world. Some of you will feel achieved; some of you will feel celebrated, as in, people paying attention to you, people recognising you, people admiring or respecting youâthis could be people abroad, or more than just one or two people. You may have been working on something, and that thing may reach an end and you will get the reward. This victory may come with some downsides for some of you. Since it will involve people, sometimes it may feel like a burden, or it may make you stressed out for some reason; some people will feel too passionately or emotional about what you are doing and they may start causing some scenes. This could be the reason for 10 of Swords. Â
For others of you though, 10 of Swords is a separate matter. You will experience a mental and emotional hardship. It will be either something that has started long before that ending happens, or it will feel like you have got to move onâbecause things are ending and stressing you out and you canât do anything about it anymore. Itâs related to a heartache; I got 3 of Swords when I asked for a clarification. It may be related to a breakup, or a relationship ending. The odd thing is, Iâm not getting a strong negative energy from 10 of Swords. Some of you may experience the heavier version of it, because this is a general reading, but for some of you, this may be like... an accumulation of stress that has been burdening you and so you will finally be pushed to the end of it, and realise that you canât take it anymore, you donât want to think or feel hurt about the same thing anymore. It can simply be mental or emotional exhaustion from having putting in a lot of work / effort. Â
I did mention achievement; so whatever that will happen here, whether itâs positive or not, you will feel like a stage of your life is completing. It feels positive though. Some of you will be graduating, completing a program, a contract, project. Some of you may go abroad, or relocate; some of you will connect with people abroad, people from different countries, or simply people online through this achievement. You may also feel more connected to the world, and wiser through this experience, like you can see how the world works and what is connected to whatâhaving a mature understanding of the world and the interconnectedness of it all. This could also be related to your passion, heart desires, creativity, or the part of you that is drawn to the artsâso you may be led to explore your idealism, your artistic inclination, a hobby that youâve been wanting to explore because it speaks to your emotions and soul. It feels very soft and genuine and like opening a box containing parts of your soul as a child. It will feel joyful but in a quiet way; you will feel content with what you have at that time and what you want to do. I think this will be the light that you will follow, which will lead you to more material opportunities, which may lead you to your person.   Â

I need them to all realise they want to be together
đźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđźđź
Ohhh yeah. I want that too, believe me! Closer than it seems!
90 for đź:
---
Jane makes a small, annoyed sound. Like she had been quite happy being held by Eddie.Â
âHi,â Eddie amends. âSorry. How are you?â
Buck leans in to kiss him quickly.Â
âMâokay,â Buck says. âYou?â
âUh,â his features tighten just a little. Nerves. Heâs nervous. âGood. No, all good.â
Oh, fuck. Theyâre dumping Buck in tandem. Really, heâs never actually been with Shannon. Shouldnât Eddie be doing this alone?
âUh, feeling better? Feeling less cold?â Buck asks.
He doesnât really want to think about Eddie buried in the mud. The rain.The cold. The ticking clock on his presumed oxygen. The realization that no one else thought Eddie would survive. Buck has never felt so powerless and afraid.Â
But he canât focus on that. On Eddie dying. He doesnât want to consider it anymore. It didnât happen. It wonât happen. Buck wonât let it happen.Â
âYeah,â Eddie says. âStill sore though.â
âWell, the earth did fall on you,â Buck jokes weakly.Â
âRight, yeah,â Eddie swallows. âUh, Buck⌠Why donât you sit and Shannon is coming with coffee, and we, uh, we really do need to talk to you.â
Buck feels like heâs walking the plank.Â
âYeah,â he says. âUh, yeah. O-okay.â
Bouncing Jane ever so slightly, he walks into the living him and takes a seat on one of the arm chairs. Not the couch. Theyâll probably want to sit on the couch together.Â
Eddie disappears into the kitchen to get Shannon. Buck looks down at Jane. Sheâs staring at him quietly. Sheâs such a quiet baby. Heâs heard theyâre supposed to be worse. All the ones on calls are. Not worse as in bad. Theyâre just babies. But theyâre loud. Jane is pretty mellow.
âYouâre just the worldâs best baby,â he whispers to her.Â
She smiles a little. A new thing sheâs been doing recently. Itâs so cute and toothless and soft. Ugh. Heâs going to miss her.Â
âHey, Buck!â Shannon walks into the living room, smiling. Eddie trails behind her. She seems⌠Completely normal?Â
Like bright and warm and⌠And maybe even better than usual. Though, to be fair, since heâs befriended her sheâs been hit by a car, nearly killed in a tsunami, and had a baby. So maybe heâs used to a more subdued version of her.Â
âUh, h-hi, Shannon,â he says.Â
âDid the baby tell a ghost story or something?â She frowns, putting his coffee down in front of him. âYouâre white as a sheet.â
âHa,â Buck replies tensely. Is she enjoying this or something?
Shannon moves to sit on the couch, but Eddie paces around a little.
âSo, uh, that thing we need to discussâŚâ Eddie starts.Â

Five foot something and he's royalty.
#poorly drawn odyssey#the odyssey#odysseus#I was drawing him short because it was funny. I didn't expect it to come up in the text himself.#Remember that at this point he's retelling the story to the court of Alcinous.#So him saying 'Yeah I got to ride on the best and coolest ram so I only needed one of them' sounds like he's justifying being small.#I know there are likely other interpretations of this so it's not 'canonical' per say#but I didn't think my goofy short lump of misery parody version of ody was going to be...well...closer that expected.#By they way if you are a lover of sopping wet men - read the Odysssey.#So far he has solved 90% of his problems by wailing and sobbing so pathetically until people give up and help him out.#(sadly I am out of chronological order with the comics I wanted to post...next one WILL be the nausicaa comic I promise.#I've been very sick and swamped with work so comics are hard to do...I'm keeping my chin up though! I'll be slow but I'll do it!)

We also had the No Limit Smurf Cover!
youtube
I think Smurf Hits/Smurf Party was the European version of Kids Bop. It exists in so many european languages I've found, and it's often 90s hits like No Limit and Barbie Girl on all of them, plus also hits that were popular in the separate countries.
Smurfhits brukar ju ofta ändra texten till lĂĽtar fĂśr att gĂśra de mer smurf-relaterade, men älskar att när de sjĂśng âjag gĂĽr och fiskarâ sĂĽ ändrade de bara ETT ord och behĂśll allt annat
Det roliga är ju att âsmurfaâ kan betyda vad som helst. Vi tänker att det är fiska i detta fallet men det behĂśver inte var det. âJag gĂĽr och smurfarâ kan betyda nĂĽtt HELT annat.

my personal headcanon is the vees were unremarkable nobodies when they were alive. i just love it as a thematic throughline for them. they love to let the public of hell speculate on them being famed and acclaimed since before death, but the the truth is they were a d-list failed influencer that got by on cheap controversey and scamming, a broke junkie who burned every shaky bridge he ever had, and a worn-out broadcast production assistant with more rejected auditions and tossed out script pitches than he could count. nobody missed them when they were gone, nobody cared who they were until they were dead.
#because villains who didn't start off supremely powerful are more interesting to me#vees#it's not that they CAN'T be better. or that they're simply ignorant of the ways they fuck up others lives#they actually all do have that knowledge of being the underdog. and it's made them all the more shitty#because they never want to be those people again#narratives about people who make each other worse <3#to be clear they were still shitty people in life. manipulative. consumed by greed and envy. all their individual flaws etc etc#but hell made them into the absolute worst versions of themselves#of course what their Worst Self is and the journey/length of time/initial reaction to being in hell varies#like val sees hell as a continuation of the things happening in life. just w/ the power dynamics always privileging him#it's the same drugs and violence. except the violence isn't just survival anymore but the chance to indulge his deeply sadistic desires#vox has completely dissociated from his time alive. that person is dead and he's reinvented himself 1000 times over since then#90% of the time he has those memory files shoveled into a hidden directory#he refuses to acknowledge that he's still haunted by some of the same insecurities from almost a century ago#val doesn't necessarily see his living self in a fond light but he does see that person as fundamentally him#velvette thinks life was full of people who weren't her demographic but fortunately that's been fixed by sinners!#they just couldn't Get Her and that was all their faults#the primary way they view their past selves can be summed up as: scorn (vox) apathy (valentino) and in denial (velvette)#sorry the bulk of the post was in the tags. i will be doing this again#the scorn is the coping mechanism for shame. of course

It's always weird to me seeing how people write Sonic 90% of the time. No disrespect to anybody, write however you like, it's just so jarring how different Sonic is viewed compared to how he used to be.
Like, you ever see a fan animation or a comic where Sonic has a house? Initial Sonic (what I'll call the general idea of Sonic in Sonic Team from 1991-2009), would literally never own a house, he was basically a nomad, just sleeping on beaches or napping in his plane.
Or like fanart where Sonic's married? When Initial Sonic was always described as being uninterested in romance (aro king). Or Sonic using a phone or whatever when he was never shown to be interested in technology? It's just weird to me seeing how the idea of Sonic is completely different from what he was supposed to be.
#I don't really think it's a travesty or anything but I think it's disappointed how basically nobody talks about the original Sonic#and also how this new version has basically replaced the old one by Sonic Team themselves??? Idk I like older Sonic#and I feel like this more prevalent version is more generic. I sorta blame the old 90s cartoons for making him more traditional#and also kinda the popularity of fanfiction headcanons and such things that kinda turn him into a bit of a self insert.#No disrespect to ppls headcanons or alternate takes or anything but I feel like they're based on a misinterpretation of Sonic#Like people saying âhe's just like me fr!â to a character who by design is not at all like them#Maybe share around cuz Id love to hear more people talking about Initial Sonic and introducing more ppl to the original ideas#sonic the hedgehog#sonic generations#sonic x shadow generations#Sxsg#shadow generations#shadow the hedgehog#Rambling#Ramblings#Ramble#Rambles#sonic

as far as audio/visual digital stuff is concerned i think part of the reason people romanticise the past so much is a very genuine anxiety about perfection. a fuzzy camera lens or botched audio is cringe and offputting, but when you frame it as something retro, the imperfections come across as deliberate and become integral to the aesthetic
#thunder rambles#i was watching alexander avila's video on brat and i was like. why the retro TVs. why the aspect ratio. why the fuzzy camera lens#like its cool and its a vibe but it made me wonder why it's In right now to use these aesthetics of the past#and obviously ppl are always recyclig trends and romanticising the past but why is it Like This and why Right Now#like dnp do it too. same with the shitty retro TVs and shitty 90s fashion. theyre just doing the trashy thing on purpose#and owning it. and it works as an aesthetic#i dont think ive spoken about it here but i have a flip phone. i use tumblr on my pc most of the time#and there are burner phones or ways to downgrade your smartphone to be less addictive#but i chose a flip phone because i think its cool. and in retrospect i think because it communicates deliberacy#owning a flip phone was uncool when i was young because it meant your parents either couldnt afford a smartphone#or didnt allow you to have one#but nowadays no one has them. smartphones are seen as a must-have item (think qr codes and things that only work on apps)#so it's straight-up ridiculous to have your phone be something that does None Of That Shit. yet here we are#yea. making the active choice to use Worse Versions of things from the Past as a means of Shying Away from the Anxious Perfectionism#of the Modern Day Internet.

*scratching at the walls thinking about how no one has adapted Peterâs college arcs in a consistent and satisfying way.*
#coffee bean gang#spider-man#I was almost asleep but now Iâm thinking about how there isnât one piece of media out there that checks all the boxes#of adapting Peter in college + the coffee bean gang + doesnât downsize the group or combine characters#+ does everyone in a decent way even if itâs not strictly comic accurate#raimi trilogy is one of the only ones that heads pretty quickly into the college era and also involves more than just gwen or mj#and as much as I like the films it does not handle the three of them in a way that scratches the itch for me#I mean for one itâs only Peter Harry and MJ. I like those three arguably the most but man the dynamic isnât the same#especially bc Tobeyâs Peter is much more serious and quiet/awkward with negative charisma (affectionately but still.)#MJ is mixed w Gwenâs personality which was disappointing to me bc I like MJâs weird and super vibrant personality#and Harry loses some of the âkind of a sweet guy but very VERY fucked upâ and relies too heavily on Harry becoming the goblin for revenge#I sound super critical of the Raimi versions qhwjrjwkr I DO like them I do but it feels like completely alternate interps of the characters#most focus on spider-manâs origin which I totally get but also. Peterâs most interesting arcs happen in college#thatâs why everyone has to adapt them into the high school years#(which they can do bc Peter was largely friendless during that time and was still fighting some truly d-tier guys#in between the forming of the famous spidey rogue gallery)#I mean I wouldnât even complain if they chose to do the high school years and actually DID those instead of pasting the college arcs on it#I havenât watch the 90s show but I want toâ does Harry exist in that one bc I know they took out Gwen#at the risk of sounding like That kind of tssm fan. the closest we got to that dream was that show#bc they WERE gonna follow it into Peterâs college years and you could see them setting the gang up#it still fell into the âeveryone is a childhood friendâ thing so the characters could all be there but itâs one of the most bearable ones

Hi story!! J just said the Poland flag eagle looks like it has boobs. Just thought Iâd share
-cab
i can see it having a killer waist but BOOBS???
#maybe if its like......... the side view? actually if its the sideview on the left i see it. yeah i see it. okay#today i realized that the polish eagle and the late 90s blocky version of frank have the same hips#yk the one the one thats made up of entirely squares. i think the guy changed his artstyle drastically in the 2000s#and started making every character look the exact same to a point where i actually cant tell them apart ever

its kind of funny to me that in the comics supergirl kind of occupies the spot for like the edgy superman. which is kind of weird for her typical role as kid sidekick to superman because her thing as a character (at least the versions of her character that i like) is that she doesn't have a reason to help anybody and doesn't like earth. edgy superman. but she's also the kid sidekick. strange juxtaposition
#it obviously depends on which comic you're reading#cause like there are completely different versions of supergirl depending on which version we're talking about#there's like 3 different supergirls with 5 different backstories#there's the one where she's a kind of slime goop that mimics the form of a girl--that was matrix#that was the version from the 80s that continued into the 90s--the weird run that had like angels and demons and stuff#god that one was weird#then there was the main one which is kara zor el but she has like 3 different backstories on her own#there's the argo city one which is truly horrible where like she watches thousands of people die in front of her#that one was most recently used in the supergirl woman of tomorrow comic written by the vile tom king at least as far as i'm aware#then there was the pod version (the more popular one) which has two variations on its own#variation one was that she's actually older than superman but got stuck in suspended animation for like 25 years#and variation two where she's just younger than him and i don't know how that works#of course the argo backstory is also the pod backstory they're not incompatible#it does beg the question of which you think is more tragic:#waking up one day to find out everyone you ever knew is dead and gone or watching them all die slowly in front of you#anyway the third super girl is power girl who is super girl except older so she's power girl because they didn't do a 2 spider man thing#this is easy to follow right#oh right and apparently they made a completely new backstory for her in my adventures with superman though i never watched that#because i still have to finish the supergirl cw show which is ANOTHER version of her character where she's 24 instead of a teenager#which sounds like a small thing but it literally turns her into a completely different character#i mean like powergirl is a completely different character isnt she#what was i talking about? right i kind of liked new 52 supergirl at least the first few issues#i really liked the disorientation of âwhere am i who are these people where's my familyâ she goes through#shame it kind of sucked#i'm probably not going to finish the CW show by the way. i'll probably give up halfway through season 3 if we're being optimistic

watching a viagem (90s globo remake) and honestly Dina is such a fascinating character. like i can't tell if the writing genuinely wants me to think she's great or if it is self-aware of how selfish she is for a supposed protagonist or """mocinha""" (god do i hate those categories). and is going to grow once she gets with otavio? like normally in novelas when the protagonist is being cheated by the villain... usually there's a reason for it, usually the villain is playing the protagonist in some way by hiding information (isabel doesn't know she was stolen by nazare as a baby or that she pushed his father down the stairs , tifao doesn't know carminha cheats on him w/ max or tried to bury nina alive that one time, etc) but here... like, that's not he case sdfklj alexandre isn't playing anyone at this point (ep 34) Dina literally knows that Alexandre ran over a 3 year old, that he was a trouble-maker in his university and almost assaulted a teacher, that he was indebted bc he took 2 many drugs, knows he was aggressive to his girlfriends, and like.,... and obviously knows he killed a father of 3 kids to steal some money (Even tho they're literally rich)... and she doesn't care and still treats him like a little kid? literally never chides him at all? sdlfjsdkfsdklfjs it's so bizarre to me man. and the novela is legit like "wow isnt dina so protective. isnt this passao de pano over her brother so touching"?
#interrupting regular doctor who scheduling to talk about#telenovela#novelas#and like it's useful man. it's useful she's selfish like this bc it moves the Plot#but it also doesnt make sense SDFKLJDS#and it's weird bc all the other character say literally All These Things and she doesn't care???#i think it may be the fact this is a remake as well and so the writting has some outdated stuff but yeah#we'll see maybe she grows later#i stopped at around ep 90 bc the version i was watching was all chopped up and badly edited#and now im starting again w/ the full globoplay version#so i do remember she chills A Little once she gets with otavio#but im curious to see how the alexander thing may cause tension between them#a viagem#honestly the ciume over teo stuff is the least of dina's problems#her biggest problem is she's stone cold a burguesa safada

It continues to give me the warm fuzzies that basically every person at work has said they'll miss me. And it's not really utility, even if I'm useful; I am not in a critical position. There are many people who can do the things I do, even if the majority are less experienced. I'm not management, or a lynchpin, just a long-time worker bee.
But people like me, and I just handled a Crisis Situation well enough that the AD took the time to personally thank me, and my manager was like 'not only am I willing to be a reference you can use my personal phone number if that's easier' and even some of the newest additions said they're going to miss me on desk, and I just.
I love my job and my coworkers and it's really nice that the people there know it and love me back.
#I told mom about Crisis Situation#and tonight when dad got home she was like COME IN AND TELL YOUR DAD#and then both of them were like WHEN COMPANY COMES NEXT WEEK TELL THEM TOO#haha#I mean dad did follow it up with 'no you may not drive across the country alone we will figure something out'#I'm gonna work on him about it we tried the thing where all of us are in one vehicle#Tuesday screamed the whole time and mom wanted to kill her and also me#I shall remind him of that#I think he will probably come around#if I could convince someone to come with I would probably make it an actual road trip#'come to TX for the eclipse!'#'we will drive through the deep south and hit some Neat Shit and then go up the coast!'#like you could make that a fun drive#I'm not gonna do the long version if I'm solo tho bc my parents are convinced I will be murdered#which is silly; I have not infrequently been in Situations and strangers have been kind#also the odds of getting strangermurdered for no damn reason are SO low#and the incentives to murder Me Specifically are also very low#and if a white cishet-passing woman dies 90% of the time it's a romantic partner and I'm aroace so like#I really wonder what they're imagining is gonna happen#babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter)#tea writes tag novels

Will probably delete later but genuinely WHY do so many ppl hate uf papyrus. "Heâs horrible and a bad brother and abusive >:(((" my guy. YOU made him that way
#always weirds me out when a really bad take becomes popular fanon and ppl treat it like it's an inherent universal take#happens to all characters I feel but it's esp frustrating when it's not just a bad take but just straight making a character a certain way#as a plot device. or to project ur own issues onto. at that point just. make an oc or smth. why mangle a character so severely. what is#the purpose#im not even going to TRY to pretend i have perfect ic flawless interps (I absolutely don't and know this)#but even w/ characters I have minimal interest in (like asgore for ex) it's important to me to at least *try* to keep them in line w/ their#og counterparts.#and you'd think. given how so many ppl infantilized Papyrus. that some of that would've bled thru into au counterparts#but nope. the fanon versions are practically just wholly different characters who just look similar and 'fill the same role' in their au#and it's honestly not like there's a shortage of other characters sans could have a toxic relationship with in uf#(bc let's be honest here that's 90% of the reason uf papyrus got characterized that way. for ppl to project onto and sympathize with sans)#I don't like having strong negative opinions on things and I especially don't like talking abt them publicly but idk if it's just weird#timing or smth I've seen so many bad takes the past couple weeks#to each their own and I'd never like. bash someone for having a diff take than me. I just don't...understand.#idk#I'm really tired and my eyes are sticky so I really shouldn't even be posting rn bc I will see this later and be like#can't BELIEVE that guy posted an opinion on the internet. WHY would he do that
