It's important to fans to understand me, and me understand the fans. I put a lot of work on my English to talk with you guys. And I think I'm doing a good job.

#elly de la cruz #i adore this man #i am genuinely SO impressed with how much his English has improved in less than a year #athletes and language learning and the use of interpreters was already so interesting to me even before i become a Sports Person #considering what i studied in school #and baseball is such a crazy overlap of all that #the most 'American' sport but also so international #and then you think about everything going on with ohtani and his interpreter #which is wild and bringing a lot of attention to the language industry (and maybe not good attention!)#and it's like yeah - interpreters and translators absolutely need to have an ethics code and oversight considering the power they have #but not many people think about that!#anyway i'm rambling whoops #but i fully support interpreters AND athletes learning to speak the languages of the countries they play in #and elly is killing it #which is unsurprising #he is good at everything!!! we're so lucky to have him

well. downside: pysch is not willing to prescribe me stimulants for arguably understandable reasons (pulse a lil stupid) so is instead prescribing me an antidepressant, which im not convinced will actually help as im not.. depressed......

BUT upside: this means i can legally drink coffee again

#cofee cofee for My me!#my pulse is like. it's fine. it's just a little stupid #and fucking w norepinephrine reuptake makes that worse it seems like #which is unsurprising #given like #[gestures at mild anxiety]#[gestures at ocd]#[gestures at off & on lightheaded spells when i stand up from lying down]#i probably have enough hanging about already

Tom: Harry, we already tried things your way.

Harry: What? No, we didn’t - when?

Tom: Well, we tried it in my head.

Tom: And it didn’t work.

#tomarry #tomarrymort #harrymort #someone take the post button away from me #for my sake #harry: you cannot be serious right now (knowing full well tom is serious)#harry is equally offended and unsurprised #tom - as always - thinks he knows best #which is how we end up with harry doing things his way anyway

How lucky we are to have been born in the right era.

x

Put in the tags who you were born in the wrong era for. I’m so curious! 🙏🏻

#I would have been a sucker for someone like Carey Grant #which is wholly unsurprising #as he too is a gay man #sigh

"the longer we take the worse this is gonna get" is also a great principle of d&d tbh

#i will admit I have a day of trave ahead l so I'm a little cranky but i also feel a c3 weakness #is that we're playing to the players' strategic weaknesses at times #which I think is unsurprising given the nature of a third outing but none of the 3 decisive people are playing casters #cr spoilers

hes right behind me.. isnt he..

#tadc #funnybunny #because i know yall would like the size difference #the infolens plush are printed on which is largely disappointing but not unsurprising considering the complexity and scale #and it looks fine #aside from jax's gloves having black lines ? on his #the face is embroidered which is nice #im trying to document my collection before i get too too much and before moose toys releases a plague upon my houses #so im writing a lot of this down as i see it and ill put on a personal website #idk if thered be interest in a review type post here. maybe ill mirror the information

Marilou is a horrible person as well. There’s a thread of her on Twitter/X of her being a Zionist as well as being in contact with Zionists.

There’s also been reports of her being a mean girl (at the Canadian GP, during the BOSS event, she was spotted with her friend mocking and making fun of fans at the event acting very judgemental) along with her allegedly making fun of someone’s weight.

Lance himself, it’s tricky, although I do feel bad for him, he also has dated an IOF(?) solider in Dian Schwartz.

Honestly so so glad she's away from him now. Perhaps he'll see the light soon...? I'm being carefully hopeful here. Because knowing what I know, the drama about Kelly and Max, something with Carlos, many things with Lando... I'm starting to get trust issues for real, lmao.

Still kinda hopeful of course, it'd be a shame otherwise.

#lance stroll #ls18 #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #god i remember the time i read that one tumblr person's long-ass landogate post #that was glorious insightful and sometimes sickening ngl #the carlos thing i heard (which idk if it's true though so i'll just leave it at that - as a rumor) just makes me angry #and the max and kelly thing that i read about with my own eyes (especially the kelly stuff [how i detest this woman]) disappoints me greatly #so hearing about this is both unsurprising but also still sad ngl #not gonna throw more shit into the flames though #gossip flames don't need more rumors to feed on

Literally no other way I could describe it right now.

#there are some serious feelings attached to all thats happening #im saddened. im mad. at the end of the day this is how i cope so im sorry if you dont feel like humor is your way out #im disappointed and digusted #personally #neil gaiman #is innocent until proven guilty and my heart goes out to the victims of this whole situation.#i know. i KNOW the right is gonna make it about trans rights and the left is gonna make this about zionism and how these results are #unsurprising due to him being 'either' of these (which im not going into)#because its NOT about those. its the disgusting behaviors he did w those women. consent or not he actively sought out rlly young women.#i hold out a tiny bit of hope but if all things go to shit I dont rlly have anything to fall back on in terms of fandom.#good omens got me through shit. it got me through hell and some my worst times ever.#ive made irreplaceable IRL friends #idk #just some feelings im putting out here. im still gonna 100% support all GO creators (unless they outright excuse NG's actions esp when hes #not yet proven innocent)#but yeah #i havent spoken about this in my other accs and I think this is the only coherent thought I can manage from all of that.#again. really upset. but we got this. were all in this together yk? theres no one side or another to SA but to support the victims.#thats all im rlly gonna say. just remember that Im sending uou guys lots of love. lets get through this <3 #[EDIT: I MEANT TO SAY NEIL IS GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT FOR ME !!!!]

It has been years and yet it still tickles me that Glimmer from SPOP counts as an Unscrupulous Hero. I mean I agree, she definitely does count as one, but it's just funny considering the usual characters that get to be this trope.

For minor context, Unscrupulous Heroes are on the Edgier(TM) side of the Anti-Hero scale. It's not the Absolute Edgiest(TM) end of the scale (that honor goes to Nominal Heroes, which... kinda self-explanatory IMO) but it's only one notch less Edgy(TM) than that.

The typical go-to example of an Unscrupulous Hero is your "ends justify the (very violent and morally dubious) means" types of guys, like the Punisher. The Punisher imo is kind of the best example of this, though some depictions can make him swerve into Nominal Hero territory. Huntress and Jason Todd are pretty good examples too, though I don't read a lot of DC so I could be off-base there.

So the concept of the examples of Unscrupulous Heroes being angsty, violent vigilantes in grimdark comic books, cynical characters who do What Has To Be Done in gritty crime dramas, troubled hardboiled detectives in the film noir genre... and a pastel pink glittery princess from a reboot of a 80s toyetic cartoon? It's fucking incredible.

#glimmer #spop #she ra #she ra and the princesses of power #tv tropes #s says some words #tvtropes also has eda clawthorne as an example which i kind of disagree with?#i feel like she's more of a pragmatic hero. possibly even a knight in sour armor/'disney anti hero'#i just don't think she's morally grey enough lol #but even if she were it wouldn't feel Surprising or w/e even though she's from a kids' cartoon #just because of the type of character archetype she is #shadow the hedgehog being an unscrupulous hero is also unsurprising to me. like. of course he is #but glimmer being an unscrupulous hero is consistently so wild to me #i love it. i love her #this pink princess with sparkle powers can fit so many war crimes in her!

MY BELOVED SON MENG YAO HAS AT LAST RETURNED FROM THE WAR (by ending the war)

However, his return unfortunately means I have to see JGS on a semiregular basis for the next 13 episodes, so I am taking a nap.

#Sunshot’s conclusion in the show is so odd bc all the puppets keel over before WRH dies so it undercuts the importance of MY killing WRH #but MY is visibly anxious when WRH tells him how great the battle’s going AND is unsurprised when WWX overrides the Yin Iron #suggesting he DID in fact know WWX had a Yin Iron piece to use (which tracks given the info he’d have access to)#meanwhile!!! WWX makes a whole deal about how he can totes override WRH’s Yin Iron and they’ll see in a month what he means by that #but he spends 75% of the battle running around using Chenqing as a baton?? he doesn’t?? play it??#LWJ has to shield him from attacks with Bichen a few times!#and it’s not like he only plays it as a last resort bc he plays it during the fucking SOUP DRAMA #so my question to both of these dramatic foils is: WHY ARE YOU WAITING TO DO THE THING. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT.#masala necromancy wizard hour

you know, I complain a lot about my union because forming a coalition and building solidarity means you will disagree and navigate a lot of conflict, but I will say that it's also some of the most rewarding and important work I've ever done.

#tbd #union tag #yesterday i ended up confronting management--like executive suite level--about the transphobia in the agency #and it didn't go well. unsurprising.#and i got a little direct! i always advocate for pushing in a kind and professional manner but this time (:#this time I pushed harder and I told them why and how unacceptable this was #and got no where except for the head of HR looking upset that I was pushing him to take action #anyway i don't feel like we got anywhere other than putting them on notice (which sometimes IS critical to work getting done)#but we caucused after that convo and my union mates went from 0 to 60 on workshopping how to support me #and other trans colleagues in my department #like i was so warmed and surprised to see how everyone showed up for us #even though sometimes we butt heads and have significant disagreements #that's solidarity. that's the work.#and then in our union meeting someone announced a name change and everyone was like 'cool' and started using it immediately #action matters so much more over empty words #and i do see my job--my position--as someone to push (and be pushed) for action over empty words #and sometimes it takes over a year for that action to happen but when it does? indescribable #it is clear that executive level management will not budge on this unless we continue to show up #and we will.#people don't inspire change. a network of relationships--a give and take--lead to change. change comes from action #building that relationship sometimes IS the most effective action you can take #when we talk about building community we are talking about the action. the actions of care & time & listening & connecting #assembling everything you know & all you can do to figure out how to make this moment & this place & this life better #it's not about paying dues it's not about striking it's about showing up sitting down listening and forming a plan of action.#anyway #currently #transphobia tw
