what's with the weird glorification of smoking that's come back lately
like
I've seen so many posts that paint opposing smoking as some impossibly Loser-ish or puritanical stance and I really don't get it
it makes you, your house, and your clothing stink, destroys your teeth, and gives you lung cancer. opposing it is. Correct. obviously addiction is very complicated and quitting can be hard, but just saying "smoking is gross and harmful as a practice (including vaping)" is True and Right actually
some of you have never grown up hearing about how some beloved family member died a slow, agonized, wasting death of smoking-induced cancer, or watching it firsthand for yourself, and it shows
#anti smoking#'omg the kids don't smoke anymore so sad!!! sharing a smoke is sociable and Good Old-Fashioned Friendship!!!'#what are you even talking about#I don't care how cool it looks or how ingrained it is in the culture wherever you live#it's BAD. I thought we all KNEW AND AGREED ON THIS#not bad like 'well don't do it to excess and you'll probably be fine' a la drinking- though that has its own issues#and we're way too cavalier about them#but bad like 'no part of doing this in any amount is anything but terrible for your health'

How much longer 'til your luck runs out?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#Aaargh...I have so many thoughts about this scene.#This is a hard goodbye. I'm not your burden to bear. Not anymore.#This is the culmination of years of miscommunication. There was so much love there. They trusted each other with everything once.#I think it is easy to hear the anger in JC's voice and consider him the aggressor in this but listen to the words not the tone.#It is anger yes - but it is an anger born out of love.#Jiang Cheng wanted him to live - damn the rest of the world to hell if that's what it took. And Wei Wuxian chose strangers over him.#Sometimes two people who once flourished together become each other's worst wounds.#A goodbye to someone you once would have done anything for is a wound you don't easily recover from.#Jiang Cheng could have stood at Wei Wuxian's side and joined him. Consider though; as a sect leader his life is not his own anymore.#JC cannot just abandon the fledgling New Yunmeng Jiang without also dooming people.#And that is the lynch pin of it all. Both of them are trapped by duty. And the older they got the more tangled the web became.#The song I linked (Hi Epic fans) is such a good JC and WWX song that doesn't fit this scene exactly#But it does fit *them*. The words of warning that go dismissed. The Tactical Genius who continues to press on.#The seeds of doubt that grow louder until they creep towards mutiny. Ultimatly this *is* a mutiny! It *is* betrayal!#'You rely on wit and people die by it'. Is that not Wei Wuxian?#Just smashing my brainworms together over here. Don't mind me.

the reason why Luo Binghe and Shen Yuan can't attic wife each other in there house and never leave is that they don't have internet or anything else around to help keep them moving. I think we chalk too much of Shen Qingqiu being a super productive person post transmigration often too much to reading into things and treating his unreliable narration as fact.
But like, what is he supposed to do all if not actually go outside and talk to people and get a job. Luo Binghe needs to do things other than be a housewife for his own sanity so he doesn't cabin fever. He can't live focusing his day around a singular person being in the room its not healthy and would drive him insane. These are not overly productive constantly doing things people. These are people doing things to make sure they aren't malaise slugs feeling nothing in their day to day drudgery.
This is just what a healthy post/pre internet mental state kinda looks like.
#svsss#svsss shitpost#scumbag system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#luo binghe#bingqiu#i don't go into servers anymore or use anything but tumblr for a few hrs a day#the difference is astounding#scum villain self saving system#protagonist in isekai's don't leap to being better productive people just because they were actually always good and better than other#its because the internet is no longer sitting as a filter you can use#when you have to actually live in the real world and talk to people you have to learn to change how you approach conversation and free time#rich people in the real world aren't constantly going out to get jobs just to make daddy proud its also because they want something to do#humans are not meant to sit around doing nothing#part of the reason i think luo binghe had such an obviously bad time in the return to childhood special is he had nothing to do for months#he has no desire to play with kids#was too short to do a lot of his chores#couldn't socialize as an adult#and even his own boyfriend was too bored staying inside all the time#i don't doubt the man was dying inside wishing to turn back to normal simply because he had nothing to do

There have been several things in my everyday life that i have just, "decided to not let bother me". And that seemed to work really well for me. Like, well if i can't seem to change that then i guess i'll just accept the fact that i'm a person whose life is like that, and be at peace with it.
years later i'm finding out that while i thought i was not letting it bother me, what i was actually doing was ignoring that it was bothering me the whole time. And, wow, are those two things different.
#in the long term. but they feel so similar in the short term#like in the moment they both feel like you don't care about it anymore with some relief and an ability to focus on other things in your lif#but when that thing runs its whole orbit out in the dark and arrives back in the center of your attention later in life#it arrives with the full force of the decade or two you've been walking with that particular pebble in your shoe#and you find yourself thinking “i'd rather chew my own foot off than have to take one more step onto that little fucking rock again istfg”#made all the worse by the fact you've not given yourself any compassion or accommodation about it#like you haven't said to yourself it's okay you walked less miles than you needed to walk today - after all you have a pebble in your shoe#and you haven't used a cane or taken foot-resting breaks or anything in fact you've just been doing your best to not even limp#so instead of not letting the pebble bother me i've just been doing things in a way in the way guaranteed to make the pebble bother me most#and i think i've got like#several miscellaneous shoe bits going on down there smh

there are other tinies in my enclosure, and we all love each other and being together
i'm petting her hair, i'm sucking his boobs, they give me kisses, we all hug each other
and also there's a giant there who loves us and takes good care of us and finds it very cute how all of their little tinies love each other <3
#robin's tiny thoughts#i've been trying to find comfort in the idea of being kept by a giant but strangely it hasn't been working#like “someone is keeping me as a tiny/pet/toy/whatever and i don't have to worry about anything else anymore” can be good both as—#—a sex thing and as a comfort thing#but i've figured out why it wasn't doing anything for me rn. it's because all my problems are other people's problems#and i'm trying to help as much as possible and i'm stressed because everyone around me is doing bad#i don't want to stop having to deal with it. i want to be able to deal with it better and help more. i don't want to escape it#SO the idea of being owned/taken/etc by a giant doesn't change anything. it doesn't help with my current stress.#HOWEVER. the idea of multiple tinies being owned together??#suddenly THAT hits the spot#it's good in so many ways. i get to be tiny and with a giant. but also other people are alongside me. we're together. i can take careof the#but our world stops at the giant's place and whatever they allow for us. we don't have to worry about anything else.#AND ALSO it's still a sex thing. the giant has more tinies to do whatever they want so it's better for them. they can also watch—#their tinies interact. we can cuddle under the giant's dick or make out in their bra or whatever#ALSO ALSO it feels like i'm partaking in this fantasy with everyone here. like anyone on macro/micro tumblr can join in if they want <3#you can be a tiny with me or you can be a giant with all these tinies#we can all have fun together <3

hi i'm watching a good response to a bad YouTube video but the guy doing it isn't defending my blorbo valiantly enough. saying that Lusamine's motivation is "just vanity" is kind of like saying Moby Dick is about a whale. it's like......you're not wrong. but also i'm pretty sure there's other stuff in there also
#how can you look at the tragically disappeared husband and alien jellyfish aspects of her role in the plot and be like#'oh her motivation is just vanity'#her motivation is that she wants to escape literally into another world because she's fucked up her own life so irreparably#that she can't bear to live in it anymore. she'd rather go to JELLYFISH! HEAVEN! NOW!#where everything is pretty and she doesn't have to think about anything#that is selfish and she does think the jellyfish are beautiful (because they don't fight against her and give her sexy fusion power)#but man there was a more complicated motivation right there and you just missed it...flew right by ya....#it's Pokemon writing which is always flawed but there's layers to the madness here!!#i would also like to say this to whoever made that one Pokemon villain meme where they put Lusamine under the#'villains whose motivations make no sense' tier.....you may not understand her BUT I DO.

hulu was doing live coverage of the election until 2:00am, at which point my power randomly went out and when I reopened the hulu app on my tv the election coverage was replaced with

#us politics#I don't care if it was intentional or a coincidence or what that shit is funny as hell#I got like 3 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours#my closest friends are sleeping and don't know yet#we're going to dc a month from now on vacation and none of us expected this#I've been on twitter and it's crushing I see my friends in fear for their lives#I see the worst people in the world cheering for their own downfall because all they care about is someone else having it worse#like they'll douse the vulnerable among us with gasoline and pray for hellfire thinking they'll be safe#but the flames don't discriminate like they do and we're all going to burn#except for the wealthy and powerful of course they'll be polluting the solar system or dead from old age#and the only hell they'll ever know is the one millions upon millions of people eagerly built in their names#in the name of 'greatness'#(man I get really melodramatic when I haven't slept)#and I'm scared too I didn't think this was going to happen and I have no idea what the future holds anymore#and I know I'm privileged to be able to say this when people's lives are about to be destroyed but I think I'm more sad than anything#so disappointed that 70 million people voted for *that*#because it's completely unconscionable to anyone with a soul but somehow he's winning the popular vote for the first time???#what do you mean more people like him now than they did in 2016 and 2020#this genuinely feels like a nightmare are we really so far gone as a country??? as a society?????#that we would not only let a convicted felon (who was served a lawsuit ON ELECTION DAY) on the ballot#but that SEVENTY. MILLION. PEOPLE. would vote for him? to run the country??? to represent us on a global stage?????#*THAT'S* what we as a nation have chosen??? what the fuck is wrong with this country?????#why him indeed#and yet I still have hope#inexplicably

February 12, 2015: In a rare morning feat, Dan guests on The Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, where he promotes the #NicerInternet special and attempts to get kittens, unicorns, and cookies trending on Twitter! 🥣🫶📻
#dan#daniel howell#dan howell#nick grimshaw#y:2015#via:youtube#s:radio show#10yearsofdnp#this was actually super fun to watch/listen to#i wonder what grimmy is doing now - i tried checking his twitter but he hasn't been active there for nearly a year?#which good for him tbh#but yeah it's so wild looking back on these things since radio is just... not a thing anymore#radio 1 did a good job trying to stay relevant by giving dnp their own show and allowing dnp to extend that opportunity to other youtubers#but i feel like i never hear anything about them anymore#though this could just be my american perspective - we don't have a national radio station here like you guys have in the uk#still though weird to think about#Youtube

So. Transient media. I'm not looking to start any beef, however the latest change to BG3 has me feeling uneasy, less for the specifics involved and more for what it represents.
For those unaware, some very eagle-eyed players spotted that Larian had rewritten some of Gortash's Act 3 letters. I don't know what prompted them to do this, they're extremely minor codex entries addressed to a NPC. I find it hard to believe that anyone provided feedback about these, and the opinion I've seen from most Gortfans is that they liked them before. They were a little character reward for people who were obsessively scouring the game for information.
What I find troubling is that the change definitely alters characterisation in a way that isn't building on something that already exists, it isn't reworking something in a remaster a decade later, it's literally been months. Lore and character are being retconned months after release in what was supposed to be a (finished) standalone singleplayer game.
When is it done? Bug fixes obviously can and should be applied when something is actively broken, but this isn't a bug fix, nor have the previous 'minor' tweaks to character approvals and voicelines etc. It's also not adding content to the game, it's changing it. It's like seeing a movie re-cut for the streaming release, or a book getting minor deviations introduced every time it gets a print run. By all means, fix errors left in by mistake, fix your typos, make a sequel, but why are we okay with increasingly crowdsourced transient media? What is the point in engaging with something, with forming connection with something, if there's always the chance that what you liked about it in the first place is going to get changed?
#bg3 critical#larian critical#leave the text alone#it's done#it's released#put down the pen#this feeds in not just to artistic expression but the broader trend of how we don't own anything digital anymore#things you paid for#things you liked#can be irrevocably changed and removed#yes i'm still bitter about what happened to overwatch

yknow it's interesting how, for all his talk in s3/4 of not wanting arthur to idolize him, john is... arguably doing something very similar right back.
and it's entirely understandable. john has just been pulled back from his absolute lowest point, and not even through his own determination or sacrifice or whatever, but because he chose to sign his best friend up for a capricious god's games without his knowledge so he could be with him and on earth. he was probably hoping they could have at least a little bit of a breather before kayne's deal started causing new problems. just a little time to ease himself slightly out of pure caged-animal survival mode, to be with the person who helped him find humanity and be reassured that he hasn't completely lost what little of it he had.
...and then he actually gets there, and realizes very quickly that Something Has Gone Very Fucking Wrong in the short time he's been away. john doesn't even know about larson's daughter yet, he has no fucking idea why arthur is so desperate to hunt this man down that he's ready to throw their life away in the process. he needs to believe that arthur has changed, in some fundamental way, and that said change can be reversed. if john just finds the right words, if he can get it through to him that what he's doing is wrong, he can bring his friend back. because if arthur drowns he's going to pull john right down with him, because how is he supposed to keep hold of his barely-recovered morals when he's stuck with someone so hellbent on throwing them away?
when john talks arthur down after killing uncle it is legitimately caring abt his friend, ofc, but it's self-motivated, too. How could they have won? We're nowhere near finished. read as i'm not lost, i'm not damned, there's still a chance for me to be better.
he needs arthur to not be a monster bc otherwise, john has to be one too, and he can't bear that.
#the nemesis speaks#mv liveblog#malevanalysis#malevolent spoilers#are these words good. am i making sense. i feel like i'm not quite hitting the thing i'm trying to convey#fuck man. part 26 is such a fucking gut punch every damn time#like obviously john sees his own fall from grace in the dark world in arthur's fixation on larson#but i wasn't expecting to hear him draw such a direct line between the two#and ofc john's wrong here. arthur's ''nature'' hasn't fundamentally changed. he's not actually gone mad or anything#that violent vindictive streak has always been there. john's seen it! it came out with the widow and faust at least#but it's never been louder than it was in addison. losing john and going thru the town and then finding out abt larson's crimes#all sharpened it to an extreme#and given john's had an unspecified amount of time in the dark world probably remembering mostly the arthur he knew last#the one who recited poems from his past to comfort john and literally died trying to protect him#it's such a jarring difference. basically the polar opposite of the arthur he wanted to hear from#anyway e26 arthur ilysm <333 all of the emotion is sooo well done. makes me sick i adore it#girl you are KILLING IT! girl i don't think it's MOVING ANYMORE. girl you can STOP BITING

turns out poetry and fiction aren't that great when you can't feel any connection with them 90% of the time
#pray for me please#it's finals week and i'm really struggling#I'm so tired and I don't know how to deal with all the things running around in my head that are bent on distracting me from the work I#*need* to do#and my friends are lovely and supportive but they have their own work and trials too#and I'm struggling at the moment#I don't need any more bible verses I think I actually just need to be angry enough to finish this stupid assignment#and then every other stupid assignment that has to be done before the end of the week#but i've been struggling to feel anything much less anger for a while#just too tired and overwhelmed and too used to hiding my emotions from everyone. it's exhausting but I'm fairly good at it.#so again -- prayer please. that i'll be able to get through all of this and not give up#and then I'll deal with all the things I need to deal with later on when there is time and space to do so#(goodness knows there won't be much time and space at home but there will at least not be any class work so that will be nice)#(i'm so tired of feeling angry!! but it turns out that underneath everything else there's a whole lotta anger still!!! and smothering it#down doesn't seem to be helping anything!! aaahggrgrgghshdghdgs)#(and unfortunately all the work I've been doing to give up my propensity towards control seems to have just left me feeling#apathetic and pointless. there has to be a line between obsessively controlling every aspect of your life you can manage#and just giving up and not being able to see the point in anything anymore. right????)

I have to clarify that I don't like the DMC Netflix show in general so uh please interact with consideration for your well beings. 🙏
#washi's yapping#im sorry I have read most of the lore and i refuse to see the show for the plot#update: why I dont like the Netflix show despite reasons#first is that I came for Dante. it's specifically advertised that he is the MC#some may debate that Dante here is in his Tony Redgrave era and I say#his backstory has been changed too much. the key element of what making Tony. R isn't there anymore#and even though the 1st novel and DMC5 is decade apart but what Eva told him before she died was very important#iirc the novel correctedly it makes sense why Dante is Tony#he was told to go into hiding and he did.#again the Nf show changes his family's background VERY drastically to the point it shift the narrative of theirs character very drastically#Dante is a good guy but not the devil hunter Dante#Vergil is not the straight forward guy anymore instead he got someone to do his bidding and idk how to tell you how off that sounds#Sparda suddenly catches the absent dad allegation despite being just ded in canon#don't get me start with Lady and the White rabbit#I'm sorry the Dante i fell for is a charming and whimsy guy but also just very highly masking guy#who also has a good level of emotional intelligence#even as Tony he has displayed that he is witty yet also considerate of his surrounding#he has rules of how he takes jobs#no it's not that we take Tony character and put it into a military AU. This is a different kind of Dante.#it's more like a very bad mixture of Dan3+Dan5+Nero5 memes#I also feel bad he got thrown around like crazy with little to no time to actually voice his own opinion#he was kept in the dark then lacking Dante's detective skills as well#nobody come to me and say hes stupid you will catch these hands#Nf Dante is stupid because the plot built him like that... he's the dansel in distress in this show#His reasoning for most of the questions thrown his way is incredibly weak because nobody god damn tell him anything#but in canon he knows because he was made aware!! of his heritage and everything!!#im sorry for saying Nf Dante is stupid boi just lacking a chunk of government-guarded contexts that he should have made known.

If the only argument you have against something is that you, personally, find that thing to be "weird and gross", then genuinely shut the fuck up and move on with your life. Get some hobbies. Go look at some puppies at a pet store or something. Experience joy for the first time in your miserable existence.
No one cares to hear what gives you, a random stranger on the internet, the ick, let alone the people who enjoy the thing you're bitching about.
#like make whatever posts you want on your own blog and with your own friends#but keep your vile shit out of the main tags and off posts of the things you hate#something being ''weird and gross'' actually does not give you the right to verbally abuse people#I think sucking face with your partner in public where everyone can see you is ''weird and gross''#but I'm a big boy and I know not to make that everyone else's problem#get the fuck over yourself no one gives a fuck what you think is ''weird''#you won't spontaneously combust if you don't share your rancid opinions on harmless shit directly with the people who like it#apparently we just don't teach ''if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all'' anymore#proship#anti bs
