I think above all the worst misconception about a naruto character has to be a 31 year old obito still being in love with 14 year old rin. Not only does this go against obito's whole character past the third shinobi war but it's plainly disgusting that people think this about a middle aged man. I'm telling you now that rin was not the sole reason for Obito's hatred for the shinobi world she was just the catalyst for him agreeing to madara's plan, resulting in everything that happened.

It's just annoying to see this misconception even when within the manga itself obito has stated he isnt in love with rin anymore in his adulthood as he refers to his love of her in the past tense. It's just painful to see people forget that rin was his best friend, not just his crush. She was the first person in his life to introduce him to friendship and to truly believe in his abilities and dreams. They were eachothers closest friend within life, even if rin didn't reciprocate obito's feelings she still loved him and cherished him.

I see comments about obito being the ultimate simp or some shit like that and its infuriating to see this shit about such a complex character like obito, he's only wittled down to some guy in love who apparently caused a war only for her or kakashi's friend.

Being a Hazbin Hotel fan, and seeing all your pacific rim posts, especially the one about drift compatibility - who do you think is drift compatible in the cast? Funnily enough, I'm not sure Chaggie is, which they'd hate, and I'm pretty sure Radioapple ARE, which they'd also hate.

Oh my godddddd!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!!!!!

Ahh this is so fun!!!! Thank you so much for this thought exercise!!!!

You are so right on both, bestie!!!!!

Charlie x Vaggie - No, they would both try way too hard. Vaggie would mess up the calibration because she’s too focused on Charlie. Meanwhile Charlie would somehow find a way to chase the RABIT in Vaggie’s memories because she can’t bear to see her hurting. Maybe they could eventually manage it, but only after they both get some therapy and become a little less codependent.

Alastor x Lucifer - Yes, but I feel like they’d find out either by accident or as a last resort. No one would ever think to pair them up because of their open hostility to one another. Bonus points if they put aside their differences solely for Charlie’s sake. They drift, save Hell, and then never speak of it again. Except they have a lingering connection and subconsciously gravitate toward one another, especially when one of them is distressed. No I don’t write Newmann fic with a similar post drift premise. Why would you say that???

Angel Dust x Husk - They’re both in the program and just happen to get paired up in one of the drift compatibility exercises. They’re not openly hostile to each other like Radioapple, but they also don’t really like each other. Angel’s too much of a flirt and Husk comes off as too grumpy. They each go into the exercise just wanting to get it over with, but they come out of it with a newfound respect for each other and immediately become an inseparable team.

The Vees - Yes, but it had to be the three of them together like Crimson Typhoon. Velvette is ultimately the glue that holds the three of them together because she can focus on the bigger picture (kicking kaiju ass). Val and Vox tend to bicker or suck face too much otherwise. And Velvette needs the two of them to balance each other out because she will literally murder whichever one she ends up with otherwise.

Alastor x Vox - Absolutely not. Vox is too much of a simp and would just try digging into Alastor’s memories or try too hard to impress him. They both are high performers in the program and Vox is convinced they’d have perfect drift compatibility. He pesters Alastor to try to drift with him so incessantly that Alastor ends their friendship over it.

Carmilla x Zestial - Old friends (or maybe more…?) who drifted perfectly the first time and every time after. They’re so compatible that they make it and kicking kaiju ass look easy. They’re also the oldest pair and most tenured team amongst all the pilots.

Alastor x Rosie - Absolutely! She and Alastor became fast friends while training in the program and click well together. They’re so good at what they do, they spend a good chunk of their fights just catching each other up on the latest gossip. Sometimes they have to be reminded that this is a war and not a tea party though. The main reason Alastor has to pair up with Lucifer the one time is because Rosie was injured (à la Herc) and physically unable to fight.

Lute x Adam - Maybe. I feel like they would work well together, if only Lute could stop sucking up to him long enough to do it. Maybe they drifted once and Adam was so traumatized by her bloodthirstiness and craving for violence that he makes up any excuse he can so he doesn’t have to drift with her again, or at least limits how often he has too as much as he can.

Niffty - Everyone is too scared to try drifting with her except for Alastor. They tried it once. He falls quiet and gets a far away look in his eyes if anyone brings it up. Niffty, meanwhile, just cackles.

Not an exhaustive list, but the main ones who came to mind for me! Let me know what you think and what your headcanons are too!!!

…damn, now I kinda wanna do it for Hellaverse too…

The biggest reason that the last two hundred years have seen a series of conflicts between the employers who deploy technology and workers forced to navigate that technology is that we are still subject to what is, ultimately, a profoundly undemocratic means of developing, introducing, and integrating technology into society. Individual entrepreneurs and large corporations and next‐wave Frankensteins are allowed, even encouraged, to dictate the terms of that deployment, with the profit motive as their guide. Venture capital may be the radical apotheosis of this mode of technological development, capable as it is of funneling enormous sums of money into tech companies that can decide how they would like to build and unleash the products and services that shape society. Take the rise of generative AI. Ambitious start‐ups like Midjourney, and well‐positioned Silicon Valley companies like OpenAI, are already offering on‐demand AI image and prose generation. Dall‐E spurred a backlash when it was unveiled in 2022, especially among artists and illustrators, who worry that such generators will take away work and degrade wages. If history is any guide, they’re almost certainly right. Dall‐E certainly isn’t as high in quality as a skilled human artist, and likely won’t be for some time, if ever—but as with the skilled cloth workers of the 1800s, that ultimately doesn’t matter. Dall‐E is cheaper and can pump out knockoff images in a heartbeat; companies will deem them good enough, and will turn to the program to save costs. Artists who rely on editorial and corporate commissions will see rates decline, all because the companies unleashed a disruptive technology without soliciting input from existing workers. If ordinary humans and working people are not involved in determining how these technologies reshape our lives, and especially if those outcomes wind up degrading their livelihoods, time and again the anger will be acute and far‐reaching. And if workers cannot even legally organize with one another to cushion the blow, there is liable to be nowhere to turn at all, no option but to dismantle that technology. The same rage fueled (and may have helped inspire) a fictional contemporary of the Luddites too. When Mary Shelley dreamed up Dr. Frankenstein’s monster in 1816, she imagined him not as a simp, the way he would be portrayed in the movies, but as a thoughtful and articulate creature who ends up chafing, violently, against his impoverished, man-made existence. The Luddite rebellion came at a time when the working class was beset by a confluence of crises that today seem all too familiar: economic depression and stagnant trade, rising inflation and high prices, excessive taxes for an unpopular war, and a government that strands unions, rules out serious relief for the poor, and declines to uphold industry regulations. And amid it all, entrepreneurs and industrialists pushing for new, dubiously legal, highly automated and labor‐saving modes of production.

Stars & Wars: Star Wars is Jane Austen, Actually

I have only read three of Jane Austen's books so there are lots of repitions and I may be missing some comparisons, but:

Anakin is Willoughby and/or Marrianne Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility) and/or Lydia Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)—Indecisive, generally good-hearted, stuck in his feelings, often disregards older sibling’s advice, dooms himself to a bad relationship because of his attachments, literally cannot get his priorities straight, constantly going through it

Obi-Wan is Elinor Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility)—Sensible, loves younger sibling a lot, knows what acting good looks like and does it pretty much all the time, tries to teach this to younger sibling, perhaps a touch repressed about own feelings, secretly always going through it

Padme is Marrianne Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility)—good hearted and very capable of good sense, a little stuck in her feelings, will realise a little late that her romantic partner has issues

Qui-gon is Mr. Bennet (Pride & Prejudice) and/or Mrs. Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility)—okay parent, cares a lot about the kids, missing lots of important things going on with the kids, often models bad habits for the kids

Beru Whitesun and Owen Lars are Mr. & Mrs. Gardiner (Elizabeth’s aunt and uncle) (Pride & Prejudice)—good hearted, competent people, care a lot about the kid, good life partners who are well matched and love each other

Bail and Breda Organa are also Mr. & Mrs. Gardiner (Elizabeth’s Aunt and uncle) (Pride & Prejudice)—good hearted, competent people, care a lot about the kid, good life partners who are well matched and love each other

Palpatine is Mr. Wickham (Pride & Prejudice)—pushes young vulnerable person to distrust and lie to the people who care about them and to make reckless decisions, in it for personal gain, incredible actor, ultimately liked by no one hated by everyone

Luke is Emma Woodhouse (Emma)—bored kid makes problems for local community through attempted enrichment activities, ultimately figures themself out through a combination of fuck around and find out and guidance from elders, ultimately competent and good hearted

Leia is Elinor Dashwood or Elizabeth Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)?—(not sure of this one), very cool, able to put her personal feelings aside, maybe a touch repressed, still grieving, very sensible and good hearted, willing to argue an/or insult at anytime

Han is Mr. Darcy and/or Mr. Bingley (Pride & Prejudice)—thinks he is above the rest of these fakers, is actually an extremely loyal friend and a bit of a simp, thinks leaving people he cares about is a good idea, comes back

C-3P0 is Mary Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)—likes rules, would prefer if everyone followed the rules, would like to have one single friend who could follow the rules.

R2-D2 is Kitty Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)—likes causing chaos, has a friend who is much worse, somehow always gets (follows friend) into situations

Yoda is Mr. Woodhouse (Emma’s father) (Emma)—eccentric old man with health issues, cares a lot about the kid, kid cares a lot about them, tries to give kid advice but is not listened to, turns out to have been right about several things

Mace Windu is Elinor Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility) and/or Charlotte Lucas (Pride & Prejudice)—very competent, working very hard within the system they are given, people ignore that they have feelings, all of their friends are more chaotic than them not because they wouldn’t like to also be chaotic sometimes but because someone has to be sensible around here

☼ Fandom: Harry Potter ☼ Pairing: Fred x OFC ☼ Summary: In which Fred Weasley is a simp for his wife. ☼ Arlet’s Masterlist ☼ Taglist: @ocappreciationtag​​@arrthurpendragon​​​​ @maaaaarveeeeel​ @stareyedplanet​ @foxesandmagic​ @caplanbuckybarnes ​ If you’d like to be a part of this OC’s work/edits, let me know!

Fred was completely, and overwhelmingly, lucky. He knew he was. He knew from the moment that Arlet said 'yes' to being his girlfriend. She was gorgeous, had the prettiest sparkly blue eyes and the plumpest cheeks he'd ever seen. She had bangs when they met in Hogwarts, giving her an extra touch of cuteness.

Arlet arrived with her younger sister to Hogwarts in '93 and because of her late birthday, she was to start as a 5th year with her sister. She was intelligent, very intelligent. She showed everyone when Snape asked her to list the ingredients of a potion they weren't supposed to prepare until the following week. There weren't many students who could say they had bested Severus Snape (not that Arlet would ever boast about that).

Now, Arlet was shy, but her sister Aracely was the stark opposite. Aracely was an avid quidditch fan and because she tried out for the Gryffindor team, Arlet's path inevitably crossed with Fred's. He had the perfect opportunity to get to know her.

It was still a laugh between them and the rest of their friends and family that Arlet had struggled to tell Fred apart from his twin. She made the mistake many times in the beginning. But ultimately, she got the hang of their differences and then suddenly, things had changed. She sought him out and he sought her out. They gravitated towards each other no matter what. It was an unnatural ache to be away from each other. So, the only solution was to...become boyfriend and girlfriend.

And two months into their relationship, Fred was absolutely in love with her. The type of love that made it hard to breathe when she was around yet simultaneously making him feel like he was walking on clouds. It sounded ridiculous — that's what his brother told him countless times — but Fred insisted that it was an actual feeling. And as soon as it became possible after the war, he asked her to marry him. She didn't think twice about it, much less about the date. Less than a year after their engagement, they were married. And now years later, when things were more than established, there were still things that Fred was coming to find out about his wife. Every day, actually.

Arlet was known for being proper and graceful and just about everything that Fred knew he was not. But he knew a secret that nobody else knew...

"You're a right ole troublemaker like myself," he would tell Arlet in the privacy of their own room. Because every once in a while, when they were alone, she would pull a harmless little joke on him.

Fred suspected that she was getting tips and advice from George.

Arlet giggled each time her joke came to fruit. One time, she left Fred's hair stark blonde.

"Not that I don't appreciate the color, but I really don't fancy the idea about looking remotely like Malfoy," Fred told Arlet very calmly as he admired himself and his blonde strands in the mirror.

Arlet had laughed for hours that night. But in the morning, proper Arlet had returned and helped him get rid of the color and so nobody knew a thing. Nobody knew that Arlet Weasley liked dipping her toes into the prankster life too.

The closest anyone would come to finding that it was when they happened to vacation with their friends and family and on occasion her jokes would last through the morning. What drove things home was Arlet warning Fred that nobody would believe him if he said that she pranked him.

She was a little bit of an evil mastermind. Fred said it many times. He loved it. Spiced things up every once in a while.

He especially liked the adrenaline when they were traveling. Arlet's mother was from Mexico and with that came a lot of vacationing spots in the area. They visited a lot of ranches, countrysides and beaches. Arlet would take advantage of his lack of spanish and trick him into trying the spiciest things ever, or getting him into the stupidest performances when they were in hotels.

Now, Fred loved going to the beach and it wasn't just because he would get to see his darling wife in bikinis or he would get to turn her pranks into his own show. No. He loved the salty smell of the air and the passing vendors with sweet coconuts and fresh fruit and the passing muggle trinkets that always caught his eye. He loved doing all of that with his wife.

And Arlet loved it all too. She loved that her husband loved it all and shared it with her.

They started making it an annual trip, whether it was on their own or with friends and family.

When Arlet wasn't planning on secret, totally evil, pranks against Fred, they would watch the sunset on the beach. They could do anything else in the day but at sunset, they would come back to the beach, sit on the sand, and watch the orangey-red sky as the sun went down the horizon.

"You know, one day, I say we should renew our vows here," Fred said to her one year as they sat on the sand together.

Arlet's laugh was like a sweet melody to him. "Even if I make your life miserable? I have plans to turn your hair purple next week, you know."

"Funny, I had plans to turn yours a bright rainbow next week too," Fred remarked. "We'll see who gets who first but in the meantime, I was very serious."

Arlet still laughed. "You would come all this way to get married again? You're—" But she had stopped when she glanced at him and saw him holding out a ring box to her. Her sparkly blue eyes went wide with shock. "Fred, you're not — you already gave me a ring. You do remember that, right?" She even raised her hand where her wedding band rested.

Fred chuckled. "I promise you that the firework fumes have not given me amnesia. Yet. But we can always do with an upgrade, right?" The shop was doing far better than it was when he first asked Arlet to marry him. He could afford a better ring for her. "So, Arlet Weasley, would you marry me…again?"

A soft smile spread across Arlet's face. "Anywhere, anytime. But it better be with you."

Fred smirked immediately. On the day of their wedding, just a few minutes before she was supposed to marry him, George met her with the rest of her bridesmaids pretending to be him. Arlet had not been amused with their switch-up trick at all. Molly Weasley smacked both of them that day.

"You think I would let my idiot brother marry the most gorgeous woman in the world? I think not. But it did make for a funny trick, right?"

Arlet shoved a hand against his chest. He laughed as he nearly slipped back but when Arlet lunged on him and kissed him, he had all the fuel he needed to laugh through the rest of the night.

The vow renewal announcement spread like wildfire amongst their friends and family. They chose to tell them in that same vacation spot, making it a whole party out on the beach. There were cheers and applause and all the good stuff that usually came with such news. There were plenty of 'why now?' too.

Arlet would put it all on Fred to answer since he was the one who came up with the idea. It was her attempt to make him take care of all the nosey people and free herself. But of course leave it to Fred Weasley to come out with the mushiest things to say when she was being such a bad wife.

"She makes me fall in love with her even more every single day."

"I learn new things about her and I'm a sucker all over again."

"It's like voodoo or something because I swear I wake up loving her and by night time, I love her twice as much."

Fred kept catching Arlet's eye from across the party, letting him know that she was hearing every single word of his. He would wink at her each time. When he was free, Arlet approached him with two tequila shots.

"You want to party with me, Mr. Weasley?" She offered him one of the shot glasses

"Oh, I don't know, my wife might get a little mad…" Fred said, taking the shot glass.

"Mmm…" Arlet hummed and leaned up on her toes, brushing her lips over his, "We can keep it a secret…"

It wasn't always that Arlet was that bold out in public. Fred suspected that it had something to do with the tequila in her hands. She loved tequila.

"Oh honey, you're going to be in big trouble tomorrow," he mused. He wrapped his free arm around her waist.

Arlet chuckled. "I'm not that drunk yet, Fred. Just happy, that's all."

"Oh, well in that case—" Fred drowned the tequila shot and shook his head. Arlet laughed louder. "Where's the next one?"

Arlet was happy to show him, after she drank her own shot. After that, it was a frenzy of celebrations and drinking. They danced together, shared kisses here and there, and the touches as if they were a newly engaged couple. It was true what Fred said. He always loved his wife twice as more by nighttime and tonight was no exception.

He remembered being so hyped up on tequila that even as they were leaving the beach and coming back to their hotel, they were still dancing. They danced in the lobby, Arlet a full giggly mess, and all the way up to their room.

Inside, they were a tangled mess of kisses and touches. Clothes were thrown every which way. There was a series of 'I love you's' exchanged between them, moans and names yelled out. But, as drunk as they had seemed to the others, the following morning they both remembered exactly what their night had looked like.

Arlet felt her husband's strong arms wrapped around her bare body under the sheets when she woke up. Soon, she felt his soft kisses on her neck.

"Buenos días," Fred whispered in her ear.

"Mm, nice Spanish," she mumbled, refusing to open her eyes just yet.

"Well, you made me speak in a whole new language last night," Fred remarked. He planted a kiss on her cheek.

Even though Arlet knew it was impossible, she felt her whole body heating up like it was summer. She opened her eyes and tilted her head up to meet Fred's eyes. "Hey…"

He smiled down at her. "Hi."

"We have to leave today, don't we?"

"Yes…" No sooner had Fred had answered than Arlet let out a groan. He laughed lightly. "Just remember, there's someone waiting for us back home."

With that reminder, Arlet did perk up. She was out of bed before him, and the first one to finish packing as well.

"LET'S GO!" She yelled at him excitedly when they left their room.

Fred laughed as she dragged him away. They had someone waiting for them, after all.

They couldn't possibly get to the Burrow any slower, at least that's how it felt to Arlet. Fred pointed out that they made great time on the sole fact they used the Floo network but alas, she was just too eager to see—

"Where is she?" Arlet's eyes swept over the Weasley's living room frantically. "Oh my goodness! What if they're not home? We told them we'd be back at—

They suddenly heard an excited babble coming from the kitchen and in a few seconds, the babbler herself had come wobbling into the living room — trying to run, it appeared — with two soggy cookies in her hand.

All the franticness washed from Arlet's face. Fred had started laughing when his mother came running in after the 2 year old girl yelling "'Cookies are for dessert, Siena! Give them back to grandma right now!"

Fred brought a hand over his chest. "Ah, it seems like it was just yesterday when I was doing the same thing."

Arlet threw him a look. "That's because you did that last week."

Fred grinned. "Oh, yeah! Siena!" He swept up the two year old into his arms and kissed her bright red hair. "Cookies are most definitely for breakfast!"

Molly reprimanded him on the spot. "Don't encourage her! She stole those cookies when I wasn't looking!"

"How terrible," Fred said with an overly seriousness. Of course he turned away from his mother with Siena in his arms and mumbled to her "That's my girl."

Molly welcomed them back and offered them to stay for lunch, although she warned Fred not to let Siena eat the cookies. She then headed back into the kitchen.

"How could I say no to you?" Fred tickled Siena's stomach, earning the giggles he loved hearing so much.

Siena Weasley was a spitting image of her father and that spelled future trouble…'for those who don't have a fun bone in their bodies' as stated by Fred himself. Arlet had yet to decide if she was worried as well.

"Oh, a troublemaker you'll beee…" Fred cooed at Siena. She had already offered him one of her cookies and then to her mother. "Hey Arly?"

Arlet had started gathering Siena's toys off the ground to alleviate some of the work for Molly. "Yeah?"

"I was just thinking…you're lucky I'm your baby's father."

Arlet paused, then shot her husband a deadpanning look. "Seriously?"

"Aha."

"And why is that?"

"Well, first of all, look at us," Fred turned so Arlet could see him and Siena together. "We're adorable."

Arlet shook her head. "You're something alright."

"And because you know that Siena will be anything but boring!"

At that, Arlet has to laugh. "That's what I'm afraid of, honestly." She walked over to the two, kissing Siena's forehead. "She's got your adventurous bug. My poor baby."

Siena leaned towards her mother and so Arlet took her into her arms. "Hi there, mi nena preciosa!" Siena responded to her mother with squeals. "Tan bonita y traviesa!"

Fred watched as Arlet continued to speak to their daughter in Spanish, a smile growing on his face. Words couldn't describe what he felt seeing his girls in their blissful bubble. He was so lucky, he knew it.

How Disney Turned Star Wars Into Boner Kryptonite: A Deep Dive Into the Feminist Force That Ruined the Galaxy

“The Rise of Space Wokeness and the Fall of Male Dignity”

Let’s be real: Disney didn’t just buy Star Wars—they neutered it, slapped it with glitter, and handed the reins to writers who probably think the original trilogy is “problematic.” What used to be a testosterone-fueled space opera has devolved into a pastel-colored girl-brand where the Force is female, men are morons, and any trace of male empowerment has been sent to a galaxy far, far away.

And now, we have The Acolyte: a masterclass in how to make straight men everywhere vomit in their popcorn. Let’s talk about it.

1. Lesbian Space Witches: “We Don’t Need Men, Except to Kill Them”

So, The Acolyte introduces us to the concept of “lesbian space witches,” because apparently Star Wars wasn’t edgy enough. These witches spend their screen time practicing dark magic, wielding the Force, and reminding us that men are the root of all galactic problems.

Disney didn’t just go for girl power—they went for girl annihilation. It’s like they sat down and said, “What’s the quickest way to alienate the OG fanbase? Oh, I know! Lesbian witches in space!”

It’s not that lesbians in space can’t work—it’s that these characters feel like someone’s feminist revenge fantasy brought to life. And when you pair it with the next atrocity, you get a franchise so off-brand it makes Ewok adventures look like cinematic genius.

2. The Acolyte and the Jedi Love Triangle of WTF

Let’s not forget the main storyline: a girl falls in love with a dude who MURDERED her entire Jedi shift. Like, brutally. I’m talking lightsabers and limbs flying everywhere. And instead of vengeance, she decides, “Yeah, he’s kind of hot, though.”

Excuse me, what? Is this Star Wars or Twilight fan fiction? Who decided that the best way to tell a compelling Jedi story was with a romantic subplot pulled straight from the “toxic relationships are sexy” playbook? Oh, but wait, there’s more!

3. The Simp Jedi: Master Sol, King of the Weaklings

Master Sol deserves a whole section to himself. Here’s a guy who raised the main character like a daughter, only to be Force choked to death by her while he whispers, “It’s alright.”

IT’S ALRIGHT?! My guy WTF? She’s killing you, and your last words are basically, “You slay, bitch!”? This isn’t character depth; it’s a PSA for male submission. Master Sol’s entire existence is a Disney wet dream of what they think men should be: apologetic, weak, and ready to die for the sake of “female empowerment.”

4. Harvey Weinstein’s Ex-Assistant: The Icing on the Shit Cake

Oh, and did I mention the show’s producer is Harvey Weinstein’s ex-personal assistant? Yes, because clearly someone with that kind of pedigree should be lecturing us about morality and misogyny.

The producer justified Master Sol’s death as “revenge against benign misogyny” and “a rite of passage for women to rebel against their fathers’ teachings.” Oh, cool, so Disney is now officially advocating patricide as a feminist milestone? Great message, guys. Let’s just skip lightsaber training and go straight to therapy.

Also, calling Master Sol’s behavior “benign misogyny” is laughable. Dude was the ultimate beta, and they still found a way to justify his death. What’s next? A Jedi knight getting canceled for mansplaining the Force?

5. The Bigger Problem: Disney’s Galactic War on Men

Disney has turned Star Wars into a shiny platform for feminist rage. Every male character is either a doormat, a villain, or completely irrelevant. Meanwhile, the female characters are written like they came from a Tumblr blog circa 2014: overpowered, underdeveloped, and painfully preachy.

The original trilogy was about balance—light and dark, male and female. Now it’s just dark-sided feminism with a splash of rainbow marketing. Where’s the grit? The stakes? The fun? It’s all gone, replaced with space witches and feminist vengeance fantasies.

Final Thoughts

Disney has taken Star Wars from epic space battles to soap opera-level drama with a side of woke virtue-signaling. And The Acolyte is the pinnacle of this mess: a show designed to make men squirm, women cheer, and the original fanbase run for the hills.

Want more unapologetic takes on the madness of modern media? Follow The Most Humble Blog for brutally honest breakdowns and enough laughs to make up for whatever Disney does next. Because let’s face it—things can only get weirder from here.

ROUND 1 OF THE ULTIMATE SIMP WAR!

[greekmythgal]

I saw a post (that i now cant find curse former me's lack of organizational skills) talking about how they think that athena is purposly trying to get hera to think of zeus so the not cheating thing hits harder, which I think is neat, however!

I see your Athena is trying to get her to think of Zeus and raise you Athena is also trying to get her to think of other Heroes of the time. I'm thinking specifically of Hercules because he's the hero with the closest link to Hera and the Mets but I'm sure that other Greek Heroes could apply to the same checklist hair is lines are so many Heroes so many tales give me one good reason why yours should prevail. Hair is looking for something that will set Odysseus apart from the other Heroes, and so obviously Athena starts out with his biggest strength is mine but plenty of Heroes are smart so that's up unique even Hercules who's known for being the big strong guy had to use his mind to solve problems once or twice same problem with Odysseus's way with words. Quite a few myths involved either a hero or a god using clever wording to get the upper hand on their opponents. As for being funny, I mean don't get me wrong it's a great trait, but it's not exactly the stuff Legends are made of.  which leaves a trait that the goddess of marriage and Families could really appreciate. He's never cheated on his wife. Now, given which version of the myth your talking about it could be argued that he did, but this is the Epic version of the story and Jay has made it clear that Odysseus is the world's biggest simp for his wife  and therefore none of that mess matters. What does matter is that quite a few well-known Heroes are also known to have cheated on their wives something Hera hates as the goddess of marriage. Hercules managed to cheat on not one but two wives which is what ultimately led to his second wife killing him(at Heras not so subtle prompting), despite having been told that his life practically lay in Hera's hands I mean even his name was originally Heracles so like seriously dude did you really think you'd get away with that? Anyway, it's not just Herc who's done this tons of Heroes Have Cheated on their wives in Greek myths (and honestly it made wonders if an in Universe reason for that could be that because Zeus cheated on his wife a bunch of people thought I mean, the king of the Gods does it how bad can it be? Which is really just bad logic but that's a different rant. ), and I mean this is all taking place after the Trojan War which happened because Paris, a man who was already married to a nymph, decided it was totally chill to accept the bribe of  getting to marry an already married woman. Which means that the idea of a hero who remains loyal to his wife after "12 long years" :P of not seeing her or however long it is after you got on Calypso's Island probably like 20 years or something since Telemacas is a young adult by the time Odysseus gets home, is a particularly refreshing concept to the goddess of marriage.

Tldr: Athena is the goddess of wisdom and as such I believe she's attacking this for multiple angles just by using the same words, to get her to think of both her husband and the other Heroes of the time.

[thephantomcasebook]

Which duo do you think will be the power couple of team green going forward?

Alicent/Criston or Aemond/Alys

Probably Alicent/Criston like they're supposed to be in the book.

Dude, Alicent was simping for Criston hard even before he joined her side. She was fucking jealous of him and Rhaenyra ... so much so that she accused Criston of attempting to seduce Rhaenyra. Then, suggested that he be her own sworn shield.

After Rhaenyra's botched seduction, when he goes over to Alicent - literally the next morning! They make their power couple debut by full on ruining Rhaenyra and Laenor's wedding, together.

At their Wedding Tourney, Criston enters the stadium wearing Alicent's favor. Then, he proceeds to beat mutha'fuckers into the dust. He kicks Ser Harwin's ass so badly that he lost his reputation as a strong man and people started mockingly calling him "Ser Broken Bones" instead of "Breakbones" from how bad Criston beat him up. Then, he fucks up Ser Joffery Lonmouth so bad at the Championship bout that he injures him mortally.

(Actual Picture of Criston beating justice into Lonmouth's soul)

But Rhaenyra's ultimate humiliation comes in the form of Laenor making a spectacle in public about his dying lover cratered in the dust for all to see, while Ser Criston Cole snatches the crown of love and beauty from the brides own head and places it upon Alicent who is the new Queen of Love and Beauty ... on Rhaenyra's wedding day.

Then, they spend the next 20 years together, inseparable, raising four damn kids together.

'The Dance' comes down to a struggle between two warring couples.

Daemon and Rhaenyra

&

Alicent and Criston

[cloudninetonine]

Out of all your linksonas who is top on the simp scale 1 being not a simp 10 being the ultimate simp?

Improved list with the new boyos-

Now, let me be clear, these men are Links and I fully believe each incarnation of Link is a simp in their own right- so it would be from highest (top) to lowest (bottom) simp, with the craziest things these idiots have done for love/pining

Truce - Literally went to stop a war because he thought the girl that asked him was pretty (his version of Impa) Aviator - Pulled the Master Sword because the person he was crushing on (at the time) dared him to Goliath - His (now deceased) spouse wanted to see the world before she died so he carried them to each corner of Hyrule for their final wish Kane - Man spent months painting the most elaborate and detailed paintings of every favourite spot of Hyrule his crush had Gilt - Literally made Mango jewellery worth thousands upon thousands of rupees because he could Mecha - Man is literally willing to kill for Player at like any moment ever Iron - Has literally killed people to please the person he pined for Crypt - Nearly let his curse take over because his cursed form was stronger and he would have been able to protect the person he pined for Mory - Was willing to have his mind erased so that the person he cared for didn't have to go through with that instead

One Year of Genocide

Today marks one year since the state of Israel got the pretext they always wanted to launch a campaign of land seizure and genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza. In that time, at least 41,000 people have been murdered in the strip alone (though some estimates put the real number in the hundreds of thousands), and the Israeli war machine has proceeded to expand its bloody, colonial enterprise onto other countries in the region: the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen... as any person with a tiny bit of sense knew they would. 

Though I'm not Palestinian, and I am fortunate and privileged in that I don't have the threat of violence, dispossession and death hanging over me, this year has been very difficult regardless. I have watched the worst images I have ever seen in my life, and heard the vilest, most dehumanizing rhetoric the human mind could possibly conceive of. I have witnessed governments, institutions, and people seemingly unlearn the lessons of history and sink back into a miasma of hysteria, hatred, and warmongering. I have experienced trolling, personal attacks, gaslighting, and censure like never before. And yet these are things I take on gladly, in service of a cause that I know is bigger than me. My burdens pale in comparison to those of the Palestinian people, who for an entire year and decades beforehand have experienced the full cruelty of the settler-colonial state: fear, hunger, sickness, humiliation, abuse, death. Nothing is too depraved for the Zionist entity. 

It's curious to look back on last year and think of all the angry, hostile comments I've got whenever I made my stance on Palestine known. Many were deranged, unrepentant, genocidal fanatics, unworthy of anyone's time and attention. But I also found myself engaging in tedious conversations with people who professed impartiality, non-violence and justice, only to discover that underneath many layers of self-righteousness and willful ignorance lurked people just as unrepentant and racist as all the rest. I do wonder what they'd have to say now, when the Israeli regime has single handedly debunked all of their arguments and excuses: deal after deal that has been sabotaged, the flat out refusal to recognize Palestinian self-determination and the lashing out against anyone that does, and the expansion of their murderous operations into places where there are no hostages, and no Hamas. 

Because ultimately, as much as I have learned from books, documentaries, human rights organizations, and Palestinians on the ground, my biggest source of enlightenment have ironically been Zionists themselves. Thanks to the words and deeds of Zionist leaders past and present, the occupation army's gleeful live-streaming of war crimes, and the hordes of online apologists, simps and trolls, I am now convinced more than ever that the state of Israel and the ideology it upholds has never been interested in peaceful, just coexistence, and never will. Even the tiniest show of sympathy towards the Palestinian people is a capital offense to them, and they will not be satisfied unless one licks the shit off their boots and thanks them for it. There's no doubt in my mind now that Zionism is an evil, racist ideology, and Israel an evil, racist nation. They will pursue their greedy, cruel, rapacious ends to the very last Palestinian, and even to the detriment of their own colonial project. 

That's the hope that keeps me going, really. That in spite of all the power it wields, and the violence and misery it has brought (or maybe because of it), the Zionist project is well on its way to meet its end. The first few days of the genocide were difficult, , with the rhetoric online making me think that I was the only sane person in a sea of madness and ignorance. Now I know that is not the case. Many, many more people stand with Palestine than with Israel, especially in countries like my own. The settler-colonial state has been dealt a political and public relations blow from which I doubt it will ever recover. American hegemony is well on the decline, and all of its accomplices will diminish and disappear with it. Zionism, sooner rather than later, will become a hated, disgraced ideology worldwide, just like its close cousin, Nazism, is. I only regret that thousands upon thousands of people will not live to see the day of their liberation. But that's why we fight: justice for the dead, and freedom for the living. 

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I've found that links don't work in asks, even with the media option turned on, so I'll include them below. Thanks for your suggestions, anon, I'll put them on the tag! ^.^
