always incredibly baffled by all three of my roommates’ inability to look at a thing in the house that is broken and then: 1) examine how it might be broken, 2) how it might be fixed, and 3) if it can’t be fixed, what needs to be done in order to make sure further damage isn’t caused
#the trashcan lid popped off so the steppy thing wasn’t opening it#TWO of them looked and concluded the whole thing was broken???#instead of registering that the lid just needed to be popped back on?#before one of the cabinet door hinges broke#and whoever did that just LEFT IT HANGING ON THE SECOND ONE#instead of taking the whole thing off so the hinge didn’t warp/the wood it was anchored too didn’t splinter off???#pantry door slides off its hinges and one of em just looks at me wide eyed like ‘what do I do’#I go over there look at it and slide it back on the hinge#she’s like oh has this happened before?#NO I JUST LOOKED AT THE THING AND FIGURED IT OUT#YOU COULDVE DONE IT TOO#istggggggggggg#truly so so baffling#I am NOT a home improvement or repair god by any means#but I certainly look like it next to these three

Kiss Kiss Fallen Tree!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Sorry to everyone who was looking forwards to this comic only to find out I put WWX in the ugliest outfit.#Continuity came first. Plus let's be honest; he did *not* show up in anything fancy. Or in all black as seen in most fanart.#We are at the middle of WWX depression arc. His self-care was 100% because Jin Yanli would be sad if he didn't try to look nice.#Okay okay. Fine I've delayed talking about the kiss long enough.#It is absolutely a core LWJ scene over a WWX scene. Which is made even more fascinating because we don't get his POV.#But we get so many insights! His loss of control and his firmness all contrasted against how he trembles.#And all of that wrapped up in a wonderful self-loathing bow! You go Lan Zhan! You hated yourself so much for this!#WWX is a hilarious narrator for this because he is truly just...baffled by what's going on.#He would push the person away but he doesn't want to hurt their feelings or pride (putting other people first again are we?)#I do understand why this one is divisive for people though. I choose to look at it through a character/humourous lens.#I've seen people defend and admonish this scene as a particularly shitty thing LWJ did and let's be very clear here: It was.#That's why I like it. LWJ did a shitty thing and struggles with it. It's part of what makes him so robust as a character.#It's also fine if you enjoy this scene for it's eroticism. You're not a bad person for that. You are just A Person.#People will have their own experiences with this topic. Be kind to each other alright?

MICHAEL???????#honestly all of it baffling to me but michael and kimi are especially ????????#also ofc this is from a german broadcat they were really making them do anything back then jsdkdfksd#fernando alonso#sebastian vettel#kimi raikkonen#kimi räikkönen#lewis hamilton#michael schumacher#nico rosberg#f1#formula 1#formula one#we do a little bit of f1#2012 korean gp#2012 korean grand prix

Fascinating how Polites, the character who is the personification of Odysseus' optimism and is only in 5 songs, is more grieved and appreciated than Eurylochus, a character who is his own person and is in 11 songs.
#I'm being a hater but meh :/ it's just kind of baffling to me. Don't get me wrong. Polites plays his purpose for the musical#and it is neat how Jay took one line from him in the Odyssey and got silly with it and basically created his own character.#but like... All we know about Polites is that he's nice... that's literally it. He's Odysseus' optimism personified. which is why he died.#And it's not as though it isn't sad that he died. It's just that we got to know Eurylochus longer and truly get to know him more#is it because with how little people know about Polites other than “uwu sweetiepie” people like that so they can headcanon more?#is it because Eurylochus is “too complex” and therefore “not likable”??#idk. I'm gonna be burned at the stake for this I know it. but I don't understand it.#like during “Love in Paradise” it wasn't “Open Arms” that made me sad. It was “How much longer...” and “Waiting...” that made me sad#I mean I'm an “UwU sweetiepie” too (not right now though clearly lol) so maybe I'm “meh” about him because he's just “me”?#Mad rambles#shot by odysseus#epic the musical#polites#eurylochus#hm. maybe I shouldn't tag this but I'm actually really kind of curious as to why people cling to him so much?

Dear anon who told me in three separate asks to not draw jegulus anymore and to stop drawing regulus with "long hair" because he has short hair. Are you well? Like truly? We can talk about it if this is something that you’re truly worrying about in your life
You know what just for u my next drawing is going to be jegulus with nice long hair and they’ll be so sickeningly in love<3
#truly I’m baffled with the things some of u are worrying about these days#anyways#love the rest of u#got so many sweet asks about the new art I should get to soon <3

it’s crazy to me that israeli settlers & zionists like amy schumer can spread racist propaganda like calling palestinians rapists and noah schnapp who lied about the 40 beheaded babies and hasnt apologized for it or like the everyday israeli settlers saying that all Arabs should die (while laughing) or how israeli soldiers LITERALLY torturing palestinians in the most vile way by stripping them of their clothes and physically and sexually abusing them and get no criticism for it despite being openly islamophobic, racist and a violation of human rights
but when people demand basic human rights for palestinians and call out zionists and israeli settlers for their behavior they’re branded as nazi’s and antisemitic.....without even saying/doing anything thats anti-semitic
palestinians and palestinian supporters have been extremely vocal and clear that zionism is not the same as judaism. in fact, not all zionists are jewish (ex. american christians support zionism). and not all jewish people are zionists (ex. jews calling for a ceasefire in DC)
#so baffled at this world#truly#amy schumer girl u are the most annoying person EVER#palestine#text#anti zionism#anti israel#amy schumer#noah schnapp#free palestine

The crew make it back to England and a few months later, the admiralty host a social function and crozier is only going so he can check in with the men, see how they're recovering. And while he's there, he spots James. But as he approaches, he overhears him talking about this "beautiful and elegant creature" he has back home
And crozier thinks "ah, alas. He is straight. But I'm happy he found someone..."
Meanwhile James won't stop telling people about his cat. Also he's carrying the BIGGEST torch for his co-captain, who is tragically uninterested in men. Whacky shenanigans ensue
#the terror#james has to hunt crozier down to talk to him#and the whole conversation is just#crozier: i heard about youre new friend#james: who? oh lady marie!#crozier: of course shes a lady...#james: (assuming hes making fun of the name) well it might be silly but shes brought a lot of joy to my little apartment#crozier: thats good. truly. im glad.#james: (playful flirting) id love for you to come by and meet her sometime. perhaps we can make a day of it...#and they are just completely on different pages#good lord...#fitzier#lol but what if he accepts the offer for a chance to see james again#and when he gets there and sees a damn cat#hes just baffled#crozier: so this...#james: yes! my little lady 🩷🩷🩷#shes a fluffy tortoiseshell#crozier: so youre not...enganged ?#james: what? no!#james practically has to shake Crozier and say 'I LIKE MEN'

another thing that bothers me about people insisting translation can never communicate the original with the implication that it's therefore not worthwhile is like. what's the end result of that? you never read anything from places that don't speak the languages you do? you let the perfect be the enemy of the good & seal yourself into a narrow cultural bubble because you've decided it's not possible for ideas & stories to cross language barriers?
#idk I just find that mindset baffling. 'we can never truly understand xyz other language unless we learn it (& I won't probably) so I'll#just never engage with anything from it'#<- incredibly fast way to never expose yourself to any new ideas of viewpoints#thoughts#like there ARE bad translations out there but you can't let that make you too scared to ever read any#translation

i fully understand when people don't know which beatle is which as in they couldn't name who they're looking at but when people say they look exactly alike i have to wonder if they're the most faceblind person on this planet bc there could NOT be 4 more different looking white dudes what do you MEEEEAN
#like they truly dont look anything alike JFASDJFA#i can MILDLY understand it if all youd ever seen in ur entire life was the moptop era but beyond that........ glasses. immediately.#like their features are so wildly and insanely different u got eyebrows mcgee w the longest nose on this earth and lil almond eyes#then u have a literal cartoon deer w gay eyebrows#you have Cheekbones With Caterpillars On His Face#and then ringo's nose ALONE....#and beyond all that once u get passed 1966 they all have the most insanely different hairstyles and clothing styles like WHAT DO YOU MEEEEA#WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!1#YOU MEAN TO TELL ME U LOOK AT GET BACK PAUL AND JOHN AND CANT TELL THEM APART? GET SERIOUS#anyway. i may be passionate about this bc it's so baffling

Re. your reaction video gifset: maybe it's just me, but it's not even fun anymore, it's just painful/frustrating. And while I'm glad the others did (eventually) speak up, I'd love it if in general we could move away from the idea that the only issue here is ppl criticising First (which tbh I haven't even seen), and not, you know, them fundamentally misunderstanding and consequently hating one of the show's core characters. If nothing else ppl should understand that, as an actor, the one responsible for conveying the truth of said character, that misunderstanding is gonna hurt him all the same.
i'm not an actor, so i don't know exactly how it must feel from the perspective of a performer, but as a viewer, i 100% agree with you when you say this isn't even funny or amusing at this point. first is a dear, he's very mindful, so i can't imagine him calling people out harshly for their misinterpretation of kant. he just looks sad when he talks about it now. first is someone who puts a lot of work on the characters he plays, he tries understanding them, and playing them respectfully, so i can only imagine how frustrating it is that people hate on kant without putting thought into why he did the things he did.
and let's be clear, this is not on first even though i haven't been as lucky as you anon, and have seen people being nasty towards him as if he's the character and not first. fandom created such a bias and made kant their villain because apparently focusing on the guy who has no other options since he's being blackmailed is easier than seeing the real problem aka christ, police captain, who brushes shit under the rug and get civilians to do his dirty work instead of doing the work himself.
first in a phenomenal actor. he expresses all the things he needs to express, either with words or looks or actions. maybe if people who complain about kant or kantbison actually watched the show and their scenes, they wouldn't fail to understand his character and need to create wild lies to make their pettiness sound like is grounded.
#bibs ask#Anonymous#firstkhao#first kanaphan#the heart killers#th: the heart killers#it baffles me truly infuriates me that people look at the bowling scene and go yeah look at him wanting to get into bison's pants#LIKE ARE YOU WATCHING? OR YOUR BRAIN IS TOO WITHERED FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?#yes i'm still pissed about the gagaoolala post#tldr ig is people aren't hating on first/kant because first isn't doing a good job portraying him but because they are so fucking stupid#and they don't watch the show as they should#or if they do they watch while looking at their phones when their favorite character isn't on screen#i would genuinely feel ashamed if i was midway a show and still didn't understand the characters i'm watching#like people wanting kant to be devil incarnate and style the saint of the saints#when we've said time and time again all of this characters are grey characters with dubious morals#i'm sorry for the rant i realized i had a lot more i wanted to say

Chara: I'm wanting everything to end instantly
Asriel: And I'm wanting to go on unchanging forever
🔥🔥🔥THE BEEF WITH LINEAR TIME SIBLINGS🔥🔥🔥
#dreemurr siblings#undertale#Chara Dreemurr#Asriel Dreemurr#demon siblings#Chara wants oblivion and Asriel wants eternity#Chara needs a limit. They just want want to reach the ending (they are the narrator after all? isn't guiding the story to its end literally#their job?). That's why they're so impatient and care so much about efficiency#Asriel is associated with infinity the same way Chara is associated with 9999999. Even in-life the idea that there could be a limit scared#him to no end no matter how high it was he hates the idea that one day Chara won't be there anymore and he won't be able to make good#memories with them anymore. He resets over and over and over because he just can't let go. You do the same once thing once with Chara#hey look! I did a thing#and they instantly insult you over it. They are annoyed and baffled and bored out of their mind. You reached the ending did you not?#Why on earth did you erase it? And why in the angel's name are you here AGAIN?#what a strange child...#little prince#brotp: angels or demons?#Neither of them can truly get what they want. Can they? It's not how the world naturally works? Nothing lasts forever on an individual#level but at the same time... everything can't just end at once (not usually anyway...)#wanting to stay forever and wanting to escape immediately...of course it could never end well. Get me to the ending! And please don't let#this end. There's an AU somewhere in which they're almost deities and literally embody eternity and oblivion.#looks at Asriel: boy why you so Siffrin coded? ...Still can you blame him for the please don't leave me sthick Chara told him that they're#only here because they tried to erase themself from existence. It seems Chara mentions it again later.#Of course he's worried about them...''mysteriously disappearing'' or something similar. Not that I don't also understand#Chara wanting everything to end the world hadn't been kind to them so far. Plus they have a destiny don't they? They're the one from the#surface and the future of humans and monsters

thinking about the Demetri and Yasmine scene in s6 never fails to make me laugh bc like truly who is it for? Like who was clamoring for more screen time of their favorite ship Demetri and Yasmine??????? Half convinced the only reason it’s included is to make his whole s6 plot line seem less gay, which only backfires bc it reminds you he has a girlfriend which then makes you think “why doesn’t he care where she goes to college”. Don’t even get me started on the zero sign or mention of Moon.
#Honestly my whole thoughts on Demetri x Yasmine is who is this for#Bc I can see the argument of like “oh wish fulfillment of nerdy guy gets the hot popular girl” but no one who that would be wish fulfillmen#For even likes demetri#And also THAT LITERALLY MIGUEL#It’s so funny like I’m truly convinced no one at all cares about it which is why it’s so baffling that they keep bringing it back up#cobra kai#demetri alexopoulos

Does a podcast ever release a take you disagree with so strongly it makes you question everything you heard on it up to that point
#this is so niche and only interesting to other people who spend 10 hours a day listening to podcasts so i'm putting it in the tags#but s1ep3 of invisibilia about the blind guy who learned to echolocate so well he could ride a bike was fucking wild#the take was like. okay okay backing up a bit we all agree disability is socially constructed in some ways right?#ie people treat blind people in certain ways that reinforce an inability to function in society get jobs etc#they have certain expectations of people who are blind that can be limiting. right. so we all agree on that#but that was not the end of the take! the take was that because disability is socially constructed the solution is#to expect the same level of independence from blind people as you do from seeing people#and that also was not the end of the take because the way this man tried to accomplish that was forcing blind children to climb trees#this guy had achieved a high level of independence but in the process of learning to echolocate had knocked out multiple teeth#he was like 'the biggest barrier to blind people's ability to function in society is their parents' love for them'#because parents prevent blind children from exploring getting close to roads etc#and anyway i think that although parents may infantilize blind children more than necessary there is a strong financial incentive to#make sure they do not get hit by a car or break a bone#the solution of just getting blind people to act exactly like seeing people also seems odd#what's wrong with requiring help from others? why have we decided independence is the only way to function in society?#should all disabled people just be willing to injure themselves in order to get as close as possible to independence#in order to hold down a job which we have decided is the only way to earn the right to live#is there only one correct way to live a life?#it truly baffled me. i was sorting that mail going 👀👀🤔#anyway. this has been your podcast take of the day
