Okay so long story short I think people get too caught up on him being all, disgusting and violent and edgy, while totally disregarding like, the motif behind it, so the image of Remus they have in their mind is just a chaotic "lol random" asshole
For example by focusing more on what he's saying instead of why He does say a lot of random shit, true, but he says it with intent, whether it's to bring awareness to how bad Thomas's mental health is, or to rile Logan up and make him confront his feeling, or challenge Thomas's black and white thinking, and I feel like ppl gloss over that too often for my taste
This is some of y'all with Remus
#logan rambles#there's pbby more to say abt it but#thinking hard#but tl;dr it was brought up by a post I saw#which basically boiled down to#“well intrusive thoughts are horrible. so remus is too” while saying he would be bigoted#ts remus#discourse

Many Milkvan fans don't actually like Mike. In fact, a good majority of them seem to get annoyed at Mike for how he treats and acts toward El, yet they still want Milkvan to be endgame. Why is that?
I think it's because they see Mike as being the only 'option' for El to have a romantic relationship within the remainder of the show. And they won't be satisfied without a romance line for El, because of course the female lead has to end up with someone 🙄 I think that's why they want Milkvan to last, in spite of their complaints about Milkvan's lack of development and despite their relationship steadily falling apart since S3.
If there was another option for El, I think they'd take it. But considering Lucas and Dustin are in relationships, and Will is her brother (and gay) Mike is the only possible option they can see for El.
I think they're actually quite worried about Byler happening, despite the front they put on. They worry if Byler happens that El will be alone, and they can't process an El who's single as being "happy" or fulfilling to her.
They conflate El being single = sad ending. And likewise El being with Mike (despite all their relationship issues) = happy ending. They claim to love El but can't see that her whole arc has been about her achieving independence and no longer being influenced by men in her life (Dr Brenner, Hopper, Mike) and defining who she is according to her own terms.
#byler#anti mileven#like so many of them don't like how milkvan has been portrayed in s3 and s4#and a lot of them i noticed disliked max in s3 because they feel max led to the milkvan breakup#when max is the one that empowered el actually and taught her there's more to life than boys#which is a repeated flashback we've gotten including in the s4 finale#anyway i think really it just boils down to them wanting a relationship for el#and mike is really the only option at this point in the show for el#i think they are getting worried about byler being a genuine possibility so they call us delusional for pointing out basic subtext

hi! I don't really know if you can awnser this, but I really like fish.... but I don't know anything about them. I want to learn about them and stuff, but it seems so overwhelming!! do you have a starting point or any tips? tysm!!!!
hello fellow fish enjoyer :0 and honestly seeing a fish you like/ are curious about and researching about it (videos, articles, wiki, etc) is a good way to start!
this wiki article is another possible route/starting point I guess if you want more background; there's a few sections that talk about the different groups of fish/sea creatures (like are you interested in invertebrates or fish only, saltwater or freshwater, deep sea or coral reef fish, etc haha)
there's also museums and aquariums if you have access to them! aquarium websites will also usually have a section with what animals they have and little info blurbs about them.
blue planet 1 + 2 documentary series is also a neat watch/start as well if you don't feel like reading a lot at first!
(..actually thinking about it blue planet might've reinforced or started my deep sea fish obsession haha when I first saw it as a kid)
#asks#delete later#hopefully that helped a little haha#should also probs mention libraries as well#for me sometimes I'll look up a fish and then that will lead me down a little rabbit trail of learning other stuff or creatures haha#story time haha but earlier I saw a video of someone handling what looked like coral and getting rid of a bunch#of tiny brittle stars hiding in the coral#and when I looked in the comments it was people going 'why are you touching the zoa with bare hands' and 'palytoxin!!'#no idea what either of those meant so looked it up and learned zoa refers to zoanthids (cnidarians aka group jellyfish are in)#and palytoxin is a toxin that can be incredibly toxic and can be found in some zoanthids (along in some other animals)#so basically if you don't handle zoanthids properly (like keeping it underwater/not out of water when transferring and NOT boiling it#because apparently boiling it (killing it basically) makes the toxins airborne??? which is fucking wild#you may get sick/poisoned#anyways -points- palytoxin very toxic thank you for coming to my wee ted talk KJSKJHF

the more i look at it the more i realize human domestication guide stuff is really just "what if a species of benevolent but *extremely* patronizing aliens doms invaded, and their master plan was (in equal measure) cherishing and infantilizing autistic trans girls with problematic kinks (who love it)"
and wouldn't you know it, turns out i'm in the target demo
#read one fic written by autistic trans author which basically boiled down to:#“hey. we know you're really trying hard to be 'high functioning'. everyone sees it. you did good. how about you rest now and we take over?”#except. you know. kinky plant aliens imposing this on her cuz she had internalized capitalist and ableist shit and thought she had to just#keep burning herself out because that was what was expected of her. cuz other people could handle it even if she couldn't. so here comes th#kinky plant alien dom to gently force being loved and supported and cared for (and fucked by kinky plant alien doms) down your throat.#and after reading that i had a literal “ohh. i get it.” moment

I need to not think too deeply about how camp jupiter/new rome could function at all based on the roman republic/roman empire because by all accounts. It shouldn't function at all
#it's about the intricate laws around social etiquette which basically boils down to corruption and nepotism#it's integral for rome to ever exist at all i tell you#and i knooow it's not that deep but agh. it's about contexts

just been hit with a slew of (unoriginal, tired, recycled) lily hate again! Like wow i can't BLEIEVE this, you don't think she should be reduced to the Virgin Mary?? I've never heard anyone make that super excellent point in my life
#it's always the same arguments which boil down to 1. women should be blamed for the actions of men#2. i think it's bad and boring when women are good because thats basically the virgin mary#3. she's a selfish bitch because of how she treated poor sev (and i overidentify with him)

I think Viewing Monika as some Kind of evil Mastermind does her character a huge disservice for multiple reasons but also Just cause it ascribes her a Level of competence she simply does Not display
#like i just watched a video essay critizising ddlc#and they had a ton of complaints about the plot most of which boil down to greatly overestimating how powerful monika is#like no she is not in fact a god of her world who created the game she is just another character#forced to deal with the fact she was given self awareness#monika not having a route isn't her own fault for not simply writing one for herself#she actually tries to do that#in act two monica isn't keeping up the charade of this being a normal functional visual novel for shits and giggles#but because she's kinda trying her best to keep it together#and iirc she didn't stop with that cause she got fed up but cause she broke most of the rest of the game#and saying she goes from 'basically hitler' to contrite is just not fair to her#she was a teenager who got forced to deal with her reality being fake and then given one 'real' thing to cling to#and a power she didn't really know how to use properly that could change it#sorry that just kinda annoyed me#idk man#ddlc#doki doki literature club#monika ddlc

some elaboration on Pokemon AU, toying with ghost’s design a lil and tossing in some extra designs (now with lore!)
as you can see, the vessels are fucked up little ghost-types. probably not the most fucked up ghost-type pokedex entries out there, tho.
#hollow knight#hollow knight gijinka#hk gijinka#hk#hk ghost#the knight hk#shade lord#the hollow knight#thk#pokemon#phantump#honedge#lampent#trevenant#fanart#hk pkmn au#doodle#someone actually kinda picked up on the implications of ghost's shade being a phantump while ghost is still walking around! a little bit!#so yeah the undead kid wandering around is arguably not the same person as the phantump who used to own that body#or maybe they are! i have very complex thoughts on the nature of identity in just this sort of situation#which basically boils down to 'do they remember being this person'#and ghost sure isn't answering that question. so i guess we'll never know.#anyway this is one-part pokemon au three-parts an excuse to come up with new different gijinka designs. but not too different.#and you CAN'T stop me

not to be a hater on main but i just stumbled on a tik tok claiming that tsh both takes itself too seriously and could use more absurd comedy and it nearly made me punch a wall
#my quest to find agreeable creators on booktok and booktube leaves me v frustrated sometimes#!!! i accept no criticism of this book#but even without stan goggles on how can say with your entire chest that tsh takes itself too seriously#when it literally makes fun of 'dark academia' types TO YOUR FACE#which is ironic for the book that spawned the entire genre#it's a comedy of manners at the very least#'this book that contains copious amounts of absurdly comedic situations and makes fun of pretentious twits obsessed with aesthetics#could use more absurd comedy and is not satirical enough'#recognising those basic building blocks of the text does NOT even mean to have to like it??#i hate to be bringing the Reading Comprehension debate again but good lord. and this person claims to have a phd in literature too 🤦♀️#i am so over this pretense at criticism that basically boils down to 'i didn't like this thing so i can't be seen to admit it executes#anything well. so instead i'm going to pretend basic obvious techniques in the text don't exist and peddle it as groundbreaking critique'#stuff like recognising basic genre. what happened to that.#i don't like The Hangover either but it would be very strange to call it anything other than a comedy#the secret history#donna tartt#again you don't even have to like the book!!!#I'M SORRY BUT IT MADE ME WANT TO RANT SO BAD#livresque#booktok and booktube are satan's garden

(re: the two most recent polls) Basically, Isobel and Matthew were the two most down to earth, mostly rational/level-headed characters on the show, which made them stand out in somewhat stark contrast to basically everyone else*.
*Yes, there were exceptions but not very many.
#not saying i wish that everyone had been like that because then nothing would have happened. just that they were each a breath of fresh air.#i recently watched an episode where Isobel was consoling Ethel about Ethel's choice not to leave and says something to the effect of#''if you weren't here then she (Violet) would just find something else for us to fight over'' and basically was like ''idc''#and that really boils down why i liked her so much. she didn't blow things out of proportion or care so much about how she was perceived#and just kind of had an ''oh well I'll live'' sort of attitude.#and Matthew's repeated statements of preferring simplicity were quite nice in contrast to the whole#''morally we HAVE to live as extravagantly as possible for absolutely no logical reason'' argument others made which was just such a reach#(and a pretty obviously self-serving one that falls apart if you think about it for two seconds at that.)#downton abbey

The exact anniversary of it went past without me noticing, but this month marks five years since I last had to go to an ER or urgent care!!! :D
Still don't know what exactly is wrong with me health-wise, but I am doing so much better than I used to be it's a little ridiculous. I was in an urgent care or ER every summer for severe allergic reactions for years, and now I hit that late June/early July mark and don't even notice
#the person behind the yarn#hospital mention#okay this isn't quiiiite true#I did have to go to an urgent care last year or the year before#but that was not for allergies or severe dehydration#that was because I had to get my potassium levels checked and my primary care doctor didn't have the ability to do bloodwork on the weekend#but five years!! oh my gosh five years!!#I had a doctor visit today that basically boiled down to 'something is wrong with you. don't know what though. definitely not RA'#which on the one hand is good news! I do not have an autoimmune disease that will get worse over time!#but on the other hand means I'm back at square one. again.#but oh my gosh FIVE YEARS of no hospital#sometimes it feels like I am making no progress towards a diagnosis#but realizations like this really help. five years! five years. I am getting better#I might have moments where I don't feel well and downward slumps but I have to remember#I am doing so much better healthwise than I was in 2019 even on my worst days now

I don’t know if you remember but after Sapnap’s visit Sam changed the protocol of retrieving visitors. He stopped using the harming potions (such as in Tommy and Ghostbur’s visits) to get a visitor out of the cell. I know that for Quackity there was an obvious reason but for Tommy? No.
see, the thing is, he does use the harming pots in order to retrieve c!tommy from the cell after he's revived (4:30 in this vod) -- his reasons for not retrieving c!Tommy has nothing to do with his having to go there with the bridge in order to get him out (which is something that he actually is kinda misleading about to c!Ranboo in the conversation they have after c!Tommy dies, tbh), but instead has to do with him being too paranoid about security to let c!Tommy out of the main cell, through the harming pots or not. To be honest I don't think we see how c!Quackity left the prison except for in one case, where c!Techno had just disappeared through the stasis pearl, where c!Quackity does use the bridge in order to get across the lava. And c!Tommy comes back through the bridge during the Ghostbur debacle because c!Sam never puts down the netherite barrier, and you know, c!Tommy is trying to get into the cell to kill c!Dream with the axe he's waving around so that might have to do with that decision.
technically you can probably argue that c!Sam changed protocol for prisoners leaving the cell with c!Quackity, not c!Sapnap's visit, but honestly after c!Tommy dies the only real "visitor" we see that isn't c!Quackity (who operates by his own rules, obviously) was Ghostbur, who I still don't think Sam let into the prison just in order to visit. c!Techno was a ploy in order to trap him in the cell, and we know that c!Sam banned visitation after c!Tommy died and that he continued to disallow certain people from entering the prison, such as c!Sapnap. So honestly just the protocol around visitors in general kinda gets fucked over when c!Tommy dies, not that he wasn't fucking with it before. he doesn't use the harming pots after retrieving c!Tommy post-revival but that's also because c!Dream doesn't have a single normal visitor after the whole thing with c!Tommy, so.
#my asks !!#my thoughts with why he lets ghostbur visit basically boil down to#1) he was proving to dream that the torture like. isnt a secret theyre not scared to let someone visit he doesn't have anything against the#look it doesn't matter they'll let someone visit in the middle of quackity's sessions etc#(which makes ghostbur an ideal choice considering how he's you know. famously forgetful especially when upset)#and/or 2) he wanted more information abt revival#considering how c!dream had given them nothing for a month and they were probably starting to get pretty damn frustrated#maybe a combination of these factors#anyway

Honestly, for me, one of the more ... uninspired and a little bit grating takes on problématique characters with sad backstories is: "well this other character experienced this and worse and they're not out there killing people!"
i mean, good for them, but I don't think we need a "best practice" approach to trauma
#'hero and villain experienced similar horrors but are mirror versions of each other and act differently' is a good trope for a reason#not to mention that the 'good victim' narrative can also be alienating and harmful#e.g. the case of one very famous book which basically boils down to:#'yes child abuse bad but look how wonderfully humble and kind Main Character is! Now let's never deeply engage with that again!'#and just to get this out of the way with: Obviously a character doesn't have to malicious or destructive traits#to be complex and interesting in regards to the way their backstory is incorporated into their character#there are a lot of really kind and moral characters who are allowed to be complex and strong and good in a way that reflects their past pai#but that's just the point: There is a difference between THAT and a character where the writer doesn't give a damn about them#and doesn't give them space to be complex (or puts them through the ringer but somehow it doesn't affect them)#and then it's looking pointing at a cardboard cut-out and saying: 'well HE doesn't act that way' yeah bc he's 2 dimensional

your opinion on gr63 babes
first of all. my entire opinion of him can be summarised into. ew. secondly. he looks like woody from toy story and sid the sloth had a baby. okay now coming onto the important stuff.
pr63 thinks he's That guy and he can take sir lewis hamilton on and 100% believes he's faster than lewis (delusion cannot be treated if you're in denial)
believing you're faster than lewis is just stage 1 in the losing your mind as lewis hamilton's teammate pipeline and he's already starting to sound really pissed on the team radio so im guessing he's somewhere around stage 3. he needs to understand that he's 80 points (ish) behind lewis in the championship and if merc needs to secure that p2 he needs to let lewis get the points. his radio was so not it in japan. his engineer had to tell him to move his ass THRICE before he said yes to the team orders. if we're fighting for a wdc he needs to get his shit together or be fired bc considering he bins it like all the time he cannot be trusted in a title fight
#this got sm longer that i intended turns out i have Thoughts#which basically boil down to i hate him he's useless he needs to leave#anyway. bestie beloved how are you doing. i hope everythings good 🫶🫶#rena tag
