Stop using AI. You are killing artists. I am not joking, and I will not be nice about it.

Everyday I mourn the fact that we did not get more bill and twelve content

The JL keeps trying to stop Captain Marvel from talking to the media (and it’s not working)

The jl held a meeting about marvel’s conduct with cops bc he got a little too excited and suplexed a cop completely fucking forgetting he’s a 7ft buff ass man (the video goes viral for months) and the press is having a fucking field day with this bc ‘Captain Marvel Hates The Government!’ ‘Justice League Member, Captain Marvel, Shows His True Colors…?’ ‘Fawcett Superhero Attacks Civilian!’ ‘Captain Marvel Sends Police Officer to ICU!’ ‘Philadelphia Hero Puts Public Servant In Coma’ and shit like that is on the front page of every newspaper, magazine, and tabloid for the next eight months at least

so they’re like ‘hey you gotta say something! The people think you hate the us government esp the police!’ and he’s just sitting there confused before he says very slowly and clearly ‘But I do…I fucking despise them’

Barry and Hal are fucking losing it bc this is the guy that says ‘darn!’ in the heat of battle and has said on multiple occasions ‘Well, that’s not very nice, now is it?’ to opponents that destroy worlds for fun

like this guy still tries very hard not to make faces at the broccoli on his plate in front of the jl (and fails)

this guy hears a yj member or even the very adult titans cussing and going on the longest rant bc ‘I’ve not heard such foul language in all my years-!’ and what’s this ‘‘I’m an adult’ nonsense?? I’m older than Ravens grandfather 🤨 When you get to be my age-’

they’re all so pissed when they hear him cussing like a sailor playing video games on cyborgs phone the next day and he’s playing fucking temple run at that

the main mistake that people who dislike s8 and put it low in their series rankings make is the belief that, like any other series (apart from s9), it’s a collection of standalone stories tied together by some vague throughline i.e. missy’s ‘heaven’. “oh, this episode’s mid, that episode’s bad” meanwhile it’s not about individual episodes at all. i firmly believe that it should be viewed as a singular long serial.

so grateful that i was extremely late to the party and binged it all in a week instead of watching every episode as they were airing, because sometimes the plots barely matter at all. do you remember what the skovox blitzer actually looks like or what it wanted with coal hill in the first place? hardly. i had to google its name. but what you do remember from the caretaker is twelve acting like an antagonistic prick towards danny, and that’s what matters. almost every villainous entity is some kind of soldier, the contempt twelve shows to everybody but clara becomes the source of their toxicity… in the forest of the night is pretty obviously rubbish scifi, but it demonstrates danny’s fundamental incompatibility with clara, as well as the scene in which clara is ready to sacrifice herself and her students for the doctor’s sake, foreshadowing their reckless, almost suicidal codependency.

point is, but it really does work best as a tightly woven tapestry. sure, some episodes succeed individually, but most of the individual plots are mildly exciting only in a ‘this is fun to watch for kids’ way… UNLESS you approach them from the overarching perspective. i.e. mummy on the orient express has wonderful style, a thrilling mystery, creative concepts and interesting side characters, but its story appeal hinges on the twelveclara failed breakup. listen is frightening enough, but its entire story appeal hinges on just how much clara affects the doctor’s values past and present, and whether or not she has a future with danny (she doesn’t).

what i’m saying is, the narrative in s8 is a non-negotiable package deal. buy one, get them all. and it has no skips. i hate the idiotic pro-life message in kill the moon as much as the next sensible person, but what the episode does well is really hammer home how much of a sanctimonious asshole twelve initially is, which is crucial to his future character evolution.

tldr; the correct way to watch series 8 is all in one go. series 8 is great. more love for series 8

Don’t mind me I’m just thinking about how Rory almost destroyed her life and definitely destroyed her sense of self trying to please everyone around her not because they explicitly demanded it of her but because she grew up with a deep rooted unadressed view of her own existence as the destruction of Lorelai and Christopher’s lives, causing her to be constantly mindful of what the world might expect of her and desperately trying to not just meet those demands but a whole lot more no matter the cost because that’s the only way to make up for the fact that she exists and is alive

"Why doesn't John talk about Arthur that much in the epilogue?"

He admitted to Mary-Beth that although he doesn't talk about Arthur, he still thinks about him a lot, even eight years later. John was grateful for Arthur's sacrifice and tried to honour that by killing Micah, but he was determined to put the past behind them so they could focus on the new life they had built for themselves. Here, he doesn't say that he wants to forget Arthur, he just doesn't want to dwell on what was a painful time in their lives.

I just realized something I’m a bit torn on how to view this: is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? We will see! My loves I have realized that I do not belong to one thing as in one hobby, one fandom, one obsession. I simultaneously am a part of many things at once. Like I know a lot of people who focus on one thing. They’re into gaming only, or just a Marvel/DC fan, or just into K-pop or whatever. What I’m trying to say like they’re consumed by one thing only. Then here I am being a part of many niche and main stream groups. Whatever you can think of I probably ben a part of and participated in. Marvel obsessed? Check! K-pop obsessed? Check! F1 obsessed? Check! Anime, books, DnD, K-drama, Tv shows and movies, Bollywood, painting, stitching, terrain making too apparently, video games.......everything, all the time, at the same time! Is that normal? Should I be less obsessed? I feel like I’m overdoing it at this point but at the same time I can’t see myself limiting myself to just one thing. How do people do that?

[doverstar]

could write an entire essay about how Clara (who I like) is the Doctor's kryptonite and is bad for him not for any of the reasons you're thinking but because the Doctor lost three versions of her in a row after losing people he loved again and then he decided to project onto this one girl all of the guilt and regret he felt about losing literally any of his previous companions. it turned him into a crazy person and it got her killed. but I won't expand unless provoked

wait what did they do

Watch this video from Xisuma for the full story. But the quick version is Mojang is trying to make villagers more balanced by 1) having librarians no longer trade enchanted books exclusive to fishing rods, tridents, and crossbows, 2) making high-tier enchantments like mending and silk touch biome exclusive, 3) fixing the infinite price decreases from curing villagers, 4) giving wandering traders more trades including being able to give them items for emeralds and letting them trade you wood and enchanted iron pickaxes.

This all just seems very counterintuitive. It makes getting good enchantments harder for beginning-game and less experienced players by making them go out to find a swamp biome just to get mending. Yes, you have to get mending, a villager exclusive book you cannot get from an enchanting table, from a swamp librarian, a biome where villages do not naturally spawn.

If that isn’t bad enough, a friend pointed out to me that superflat and skyblock players have been asking for changes to the wandering trader for years. Except, they’ve been asking for things like coral fans and bamboo, not wood logs and iron pickaxes they can easily farm materials to get. It seems pretty condescending to change wandering traders to trade readily available items and not changes that have been wanted for ages.

It really just feels like Mojang isn’t listening to what players actually want; they just hear the basics of our problems and think they have the solution.

thoughts on the people harassing glenn and rob on twitter from the macden fandom? they gave us so much s16 and ppl throwing it in their faces by tagging them and asking if they hooked up irl

Context:

Don’t care how famous they are, how old they are or how married they are, it’s literally never okay to directly tag and try and out someone. You said it, that’s harassment.

And what’s the end goal here? Like at best they don’t see it and you just look like an asshole, at worst they do see it and feel extremely fucking weird about it. At like, extreme worst, if either of them are queer, you drum up enough weirdos to back you (the Heartstopper kid situation) and you force one of them to out themselves.

This pisses me off the most because, like, it’s all fun and games to call MCD their ‘failsonas’ or whatever, but Glenn especially hates people comparing him to Dennis. How is this any more ‘ok’ than commenting on instagram that he’s D.E.N.N.I.S. System-ed Jill? (Hint, it’s really not). In both cases, it’s people trying to apply the character to the actor to entertain themselves and justify their fantasies of Glenn’s real life. Dennis is not. Glenn.

Again, what’s the end goal here? Like what’s the ideal situation you get out of this if one of them sees this and, god forbid, responds? This is such an icky sticky thing to even want to touch on publicly.

So they give us gay content and in return they get Reddit complaining about it and Twitter demanding they ‘admit’ that they’re actually gay themselves. Huh. Wonder why we haven’t gotten anything explicitly gay on screen from Mac yet? Huh. What a mystery?

fuck I just remembered my age

[kenisle]

are there any fics about the existential/body horror and everyday idiosyncrasies of being wolverine — indestructible heavy metal skeleton, knife hands, healing factor, amnesia, and eternally chained to this mortal plane cursed to watch everyone around you age and die except this one really weird guy you can’t fucking stand who also happens to be from canada — with maybe a dash of homoeroticism? or at least just minimal heterosexuality? is that too tall an order?

Twelve, you like SCPs? Tell me about the ones you like!! Rant as much as you want I WILL read it

It's not necessarily I like them, but they're definitely fascinating. Also I am one.

But 049. Oh, she (049 is a she in this version of the SCP universe :p Also my entire universe is like a fucked up mixture of oc and actual lore) is so intriguing. That touch that kills; just a toxin coating the skin in which I've developed at least a temporary antitoxin for. And her ability to reanimate bodies with near but not quite perfection. Just a little messed up but it's... it's so wonderful. I need to know how to do that.

And that damned pestilence. What is it? She won't tell me. I want to know. I'm a doctor too, and an SCP as well, why won't she tell me? I want to know; no, I need to. It haunts me. That damn bird mask shows up in my dreams; that melodic and hauntingly smooth voice mentions the pestilence but never elaborates. I need to know; I need to know so badly. I need to know, I need to. I need to know. I need to know...
