I always find it funny that Gen Z uses "rizz" as an example of how Gen Alpha is "brain rotted."
Like... I understand what "rizz" means. Maybe the problem isn't the slang, but you getting older and feeling entitled to the youth of those younger than you. Ever think about that?
#like if i walked up to you and said#'it's giving boomer levels of entitlement for real'#you'd understand what i said#meanwhile gen x or boomers would be like#'wait... whose giving what to who?'#the problem isn't the slang#gen z has just as much 'ineligible' slang as gen alpha#older generations don't understand us#and that's normal#YOU are the older generation in this scenario#so you either make an effort to understand the kids#you make peace with the idea that they're gonna have culture you aren't apart of#or you're gonna get offended that middle schoolers aren't including you in their social circles#two of these are psychological stage successes#one is a failure#guess which one our generation is currently doing#| | |#gen z#gen alpha#slang#generational trauma#generational war#generational healing

They needed a cat's info on some mystery
#professor layton#luke triton#ms paint#shitpost#my art#look i bet if you could understand what animals have to say about their food you'd treat them more like people too#...i bet he tried most of the food he fed to animals#minus fish food which he tried once but couldn't do more#'my boy' said in the same tone Dan says 'Arin' like a disappointed parent

Jagged Stone's reaction to his kids finding out about him will always be funny to me.
He really just goes 'Aw, you caught me! :( Oh, well, guess I better be a Dad now! :D' and it's just...so funny.
#miraculous ladybug#jagged stone#it's what they call a text post#anarka is the only one who reacts the way you'd expect#i feel like luka and juleka are a) too confused by jagged's reaction#b) shocked that their dad is jagged stone of all people#and c) kinda happy to finally have a dad#and so they just kind of...accept the situation#anarka meanwhile is just like 'you can't just abandon your kids and then waltz in and pretend everything is fine!' and that's understandabl#could use to not argue with him as much in front of said kids#but still understandable#doesn't make jagged's reaction any less funny

#mlp#My Little Pony#g1#g2#g3#g3.5#g4#g4.5#g5#I had to think about this a while#personally my answer is no they are not dolls#it's true they were designed to be played with 'as if' they were dolls#like they are portrayed as intelligent creatures who talk#not mere pets#but that is also the case with Fluppy Dogs and Pound Puppies: they talked and even had fashion packs#and they are always called stuffed animals not dolls#I had a bunch of little cheap plastic zoo animals growing up (you know the kind)#and I gave them human personalities and imagined them talking and having adventures#but I wouldn't consider them dolls; I'd call them animal figures or just 'plastic animals'#to me 'doll' implies human or at least human looking (could be an alien or a monster or have a dog head like Pinkie Cooper etc)#but most importantly if someone says 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into My Little Ponies'#you instantly understand what they mean#whereas if someone said 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into Barbie' you'd be like 'wait what'

comic writers are in the comic business so you'd assume they've...You know, read comics. but from what I see they don't do that apparently.
#they cant keep continuity and its kinda annoying. its litterly your job? imagine going to a restaurant and the chef did know any of the#recipes. they were just winging it. you order a steak and they give you a hamburger. you order mashed potatoes they give you cauliflower.#you'd be pissed. or the chef just hates their job and doesn't care so people are getting under cooked chicken and raw vegetables.#why would you write for a character you dont like or know anything about? would it be so hard to summarize each character?#like make a character sheet so eveyone gets the general idea and highlights of said character. or have a list of rules heros cant break?#its just annoying. its your job to write these characters and you cant do it? i get if you dont lie them but you still have to do it#its part of the job. do you think chefs like doing every part of their jobs? NO but its something thats got to be done.#comics#dc comics#marvel comics#marvel#xmen#the avengers#justice league of america#superman#batman#spiderman#iron man#whats your least favorite instance of writers just not understanding the characters they're writing#mines yj dark crisis. just say you dont like 90s comics you dont have to ruin it for those of us who did like it.#red hood#hea got alot. he wasnt a bad robin he was just hated because people didn't like that he was a copy of dick and then poor.#robin#jason todd#young avengers#comic#comic books#to like comics means you gotta ignore some comics because they're BULL SHIT

#naruto#uchiha itachi#chapter 220#the magical uchiha police sign convo....#among many haunting things in naruto I am haunted by the fact that the uchiha symbol is STILL on the police station building even in boruto#like. imagine going to work as a policeman for konoha post massacre (what was THAT recruiting process like)#with the uchiha symbol on your work building when konoha massacred them because they planned a coup after being ostracized BY being like.#assigned cop at birth or whatever. except you don’t even know it because it was covered up by konoha.#and explains the uchiha police backstory on the way#sarada:#hey dad why is our clan symbol on the police station#sasuke finally understanding why itachi looked so constipated: well.#cause it really already was smth to see that flshback in different light everytime you'd learn some new bullshit so.#it's time for one more time#even though said flashback is already ingrained in my brain I can HEAR sasuke twisting his ankle

people who act like Pearl Jam's music is sad and depressing (just bc of the grunge association imo) confuse me bc are you actually paying attention to the words? like, what are we doing here bestie
#everyone that wants to say 'but I can't understand him' will be bonked with a cardboard tube. skill issue. I understand him just fine#a lot of Ed's lyrics are melancholy without being doom and gloom#he writes of hope and love while still be pragmatic#he writes so often of overcoming and 'rising above' bad situations whether external or internal#he said it about being a fan of the cubs his whole life but I think he meant it for life in general when he called hope a muscle#if you pay even an ounce of attention to their lyrics you'd see how positive it is overall#like just look at loveboat captain#that song best encapsulates all the themes Ed often writes of in one (1) song#there's mourning and anxiety about life and events but also clinging to hope and love bc what else is there?

“Could you or anyone explain to me in very simple terms why the death penalty is even being considered? He was neither caught there nor is he currently in a state that enforces the death penalty. (?!) i don’t live in the U.S., so I don’t understand the legal system.”
They are trying to use the fact that he’s not from NYC to make it a federal offence. He has murder charges in one state, possession charges in another. These are separate charges that logically should not be linked together. “Stalking” is a desperate attempt to make this a crime that spanned across state lines to make him eligible for the harshest punishment there is, which is federal. NY does not have the DP, so Fed is their only option to kill him.
I’m going to refer the Kohberger case again, a quadruple murder where state lines actually were crossed by the killer (a lot of people don’t realise Kohberger lived in WA, and crossed over to ID to kill, and actually had done the stalking they’re accusing Luigi of.) However, Idaho has the death penalty, which the prosecutors are seeking, so Kohberger is not being charged federally even though he qualifies.
They are doing the same to Payton Gendron, who murdered 10 people in a racially motivated shooting in Buffalo, NY. He has already been sentenced to LWOP for terrorism and hate crimes on a state level, but the Feds are spending millions on a death eligible trial for an already sentenced man because they want to execute him. They know he’s never leaving prison, and that’s not enough because they want to kill him. They’re now doing the same to Luigi.
I was in two minds whether the DP threat was simply to twist his arm into accepting LWOP without a trial, but based on KFA’s obvious anger I now believe their intention is to take his life.
Wrt why Trump is so hell bent on this, well most of his cronies are billionaire CEOs. He is a CEO himself. This is also his second term so he doesn’t give a fuck about pleasing anyone, and if he does get a third term it won’t be through a constitutional process so again pleasing people is not a priority.
- 💚
thank you for the legal explanation anon!!
#also this is why i try not to answer asks when shocking news drops#i tend to give the emotional response first even though i know there's a more logical legal answer to give oftentimes#for that ask i was debating whether i should keep the ask and answer with the difference between the federal and the state levels#or whether i should just answer why but not the how legally#i did what i felt was needed then so yeah thanks for the explanation i'd have forgotten to answer the question legally after all that#also i'm curious to know why you believed that they were using the death penalty thing to essentially manipulate him into a plea deal#since it was very clear from the beginning that they want his head and KFA had made that pretty clear too#honestly if you thought that was just manipulation i have to say you're very american too like y'all really don't understand the gravity of#a lot of things because y'all believe y'all are invincible and nothing could touch you#kinda the same way you'd casually said we already have gitmo but like it doesn't have any relevance here so yeah gotta let it go#luigi mangione#free luigi#asks

a few days ago i (re)watched the 25th anniversary concert of les misérables and. oh god. i forgot how much this musical did éponine dirty
#partly javert too but éponine is the clearer victim#of simplifying complex characters into more easily lovable (or villainous in javert's case) archetypes#so the audience can root or despise them accordingly#(i think cocciante's nddp is also guilty of this but imo there this adaptation choice makes more sense and is better executed)#say what you want about the 2012 movie and you'd probably be right... but at least they tried and partially succeded in giving éponine back#her complex moral ambiguity with not giving cosette's letter to marius and selfishly goading him into a sorta murder/suicide plan#which more or less is what happens in the book#(javert is also allowed to be more than a caricatural villain. i mean... russell crowe's singing is. Not Great#but at least the script show the character's many layers. or it attempts to#nvm that i don't even consider javert a villain. he's 100% an antagojist but far from the main villain of the story#he's both victim and perpetrator. the law and society at large are the villains here. he's actually a good cop... which is the point!)#éponine in the book is a multilayered bordering on grey and easily the most complex female character of the whole book#but god. in the musical she's just there pining for marius and being all Saint Éponine of Saint Michel#it's insufferable. i mean i still like her but she's TOO perfect. i wouldn't have had such an issue with it if i didn't read the book#.... probably. but damn we were robbed. les mis miniseries with actually accurate depictions of the characters/the plot in general when???#(preferably made by someone who *understands* the book. tyvm)#having said that i still love the musical to pieces. the music is great the songs are beautiful the story is touching#and the epilogue makes me uglycry every damn time. but i think we really missed a chance with éponine ngl#val speaks#txt

saw someone unironically saying "rhinedottir fed nigredo to durin to make nigredo grow better and stronger because durin's stomach is actually nurturing like hummus 😊😊😊" god if you're up there can you revoke this person's rights to speak about rhinedottir, or any morally questionable girlboss for that matter. if you can't accept that a lady had her son swallow her other son whole then just move onto characters who are actually nice instead of rewriting the actually not so good characters to fit your imaginary narrative better.
#rhine rambling tag#rhinedottir#i swear to god no one has it worse than rhinedottir fans we're in the FUCKING TRENCHES#if it's not people claiming rhinedottir is gonna be an eden or black swan or mobius or whatever honkai girl expy#or saying she's a descender because of that one “flower that is not of this world” line WHICH WAS DEBUNKED SINCE 2. FUCKING 3#its people doing olympics levels of mental gymnastics to convince themselves and everyone else that she's not a horrible person.#SHE IS. THAT'S LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT#god. reminds me of an ex-friend of mine that was 100% convinced scara was a psychopath who would turn evil and sadistic after 3.3#and downright saying that the “little doll” story should have been deleted because it didn't fit THEIR interpretation of scara#that was based entirely in wishful thinking and poor misconceptions that have been cleared up PATCHES AGO.#but they just COULDN'T accept that scaramouche wasn't this inherently murderous goth sadistic mommy kinda character#and called ME and MY FRIEND *DELUSIONAL*#last time i spoke to them they said that neuvillette would never cry because he uhh didnt understand his emotions??? WHAT#THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS MAYBE IF YOU WERENT BUSY CRANKING IT TO SCARAMOUCHE IN NURSE LINGERIE YOU'D ACTUALLY KNOW WHO THE CHARACTERS **ARE**#aight that was quite the tangent#ok new tag#rhine hating

about your most recent post, what do you mean by white people having to watch out and think about what they’re doing when it comes to introjecting?
Regarding this post
Specifically like, if white bodied people (reminder that white-passing people are still POC though!) want to change their name to a name that's for example traditionally Japanese, etc. (I'm not just pointing out that this "only applies to Asian names", this is just a common example!).
Obviously we (our system) can't stop anyone from doing what they want with their legal powers, but it's something we hope white systems really think about before they change their name so easily to something like that
Because of white privilege, white people most likely won't know what POC or SOC (systems of color) go through. People with less-white sounding names get racially profiled and/or deal with their names constantly being mispronounced to the point of changing their name legally to sound more white, or adopting an "English name". I don't think I have to explain the leaked Flight Ban/Watchlist and why the people on that list were there, for example
I hope that explains it! If white people want to change their name to something "different", I literally can't do anything abt that! In short, we brought that up because of racism, xenophobia, and bullying that's been done to people with less-white-sounding names.
#ask#anon#BTW Im not talking about INTROJECTING im talking what you do with this information AFTER the fact#Also our system is not white- we are asian. I'm saying this so that you know our perspective!! Not bc our words shld be 'better' than anyon#And also bc we cant speak for EVERY person of color. our perspective is of someone who is asian yipee#Also now that I'm reading what we said in the tags of that previous post- I hope it isn't read too much as a threat#But I trust that you can understand why any POC might phrase things like that when it comes to appropriating names#Also if someone says 'but what about spanish names?' well the context is that Spain colonized many countries so idk what to tell you#Ask us if you'd need this post tagged!#Also I'm being very /gen /lh!!! not mad at all#Also AGAIN pls pls i dont speak for all POC OTL.. but I hope this explains why ANY POC might ask you to think Deeply about ur privileges

had a weird first time ever experience tonight. my mum pulled me in for a huge, super tight hug and told me "everything's gonna be okay"
#ngl i was choking back tears#not that I'd like ever let her see that#it was just like. ah man. i used to dream about having a mum like that as a kid#but now im 26 and i don't need her#and it just got me all sad because i could've had this all along#but she changed too late yknow?#it was nice don't get me wrong. very kind of her and nice to hear#but im also too old to believe that and it's too late for her to be my mum now#she's changing and trying and as complicated as that is. it's nice. but it still brings all of that back up#i just wish I'd been the kind of kid she wanted to treat that way when I /was/ a kid#anyway. felt foreign to actually experience that#i thought that was the sort of thing that only happened in movies and books#mine#meanwhile my dad said to me#'i wish you could be inside my mind so that you'd understand what a REAL problem is and how much yours don't even matter'#i know he was genuinely trying to be supportive by saying that. his way of giving me perspective i guess#but it just made me feel like a) you dont listen/understand me at all and b) i wish youd be inside MY mind so that you'd actually understan#and c) like a dramatic and oversensitive child. which is how he's always made me feel & im trying to not do to myself#the fucked up part is he was really trying his best to help. so i just smiled politely and thanked him and went and cried in my car lol

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that
if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it
#snap chats#no one understands how much i love that from y3 and y4 its genuinely one of my favorite things about the game#oh but i guess i have to give an actual answer now. HMPH.#id scream if they revived kanda calling mine limp wristed. homophobia in 4k#OK BUT TO BE SERIOUS uhhhh i dont know. im a real simple guy i think#my only like. If This Isnt There Im Leaving deal is mine's palette and im so serious#rgg's scaring me with all the black-hair/purple-suit mine stuff as of late and i cant stress how hard ill vomit if thats in the final#HYPOTHETICAL final anyways. yk3 isnt coming out for. IDK A WHILE#i wanna say i hope they highlight daigo and mine's relationship more but i dont know how theyd do that#i really like how mine's handled in y3 as is so i dont think i want scenes injected like what they did with yk1 and nishiki#someone said a Mine Saga after the game and... hm ... sounds too unrealistic for me to hope for it#like im REALLY trying to think how they could possibly reference the rggo stories in y3 since those are EXCELLENT but#i think . MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital#the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe#cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion.#yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3#its a real head scratcher ...#a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think#it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little#and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened'#im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways....#sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly#idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me#THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED#i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og. INCLUDING richardson's voice acting i need it wack as hell#is it weird i actually appreciate the Diet Building Loredumping being like. in replayable-cutscene form#i thought id prefer just One Long cutscene but im glad theres the option to skip those segments#BUT being able to get a refresher in case you missed something somehow#im running out of tags jesus christ i shouldve put this in the main text but vjALjlagj those are all my thoughts for now bYE

Now doubting myself (and please read this in the knowledge that I played euphonium (badly) in a brass band for like 5 years as a kid)
a euphonium and a tenor horn ARE different things, right????
#red said#i don't understand brass instruments?!!! party of the reason i was never what you'd call an asset to the band!!!!!#you got your bass horns/tubas#euphonium/tenor horns#trumpets and cornets#and then the freaks. ie French horns and trombones.#but there's LOADS of instruments i mentally sort into three very broad size categories#and idk which are different and which are different shapes/names for the same instrument!!!!

so my one coworker i've talked about now knows that i'm into both venom and malevolent and that i use tumblr which says an awful lot about me but then my OTHER COWORKER TODAY started talking to me about ai characters. my purse bag thingay has hal 9000 and edgar electric dreams pins on them and we've literally spoken semi at length about 2001 and how much we love hal but somehow today we got to talking about the like media trifecta of ai characters. hal glados edgar AM etc yknow. and they sent me a fucking link to a tumblr post memeing about them. i am so severely tempted to reblog but it but i DO NOT WANT to provide a tangible link to my blog. screams. anyway the meme contained halman so i was talking to them about halman LMFAOOOO. like just fucking having a casual conversation about this shit in a public space. anyway said coworker then went on a half an hour long rant about the rainworld ai and at one point they were like "five pebbles gave himself cancer" and i said how does a giant supercomputer get cancer and they said "oh. well, there's meat in there" and literally, my first reaction was to gasp and exclaim, completely serious and ecstatic, "oh i LOVE meat i LOVE when machines have meat in them." me and this coworker having a deep philosophical conversation about death and meat machines and also halman in front of our like 17 year old coworker who has an ap exam tomorrow morning and another coworker our age who's falling asleep at their desk
#im intrigued i must admit but also i told them i cant do more than one media fixation at a time#and im currently on the m@levolent kick#and they said they understand U__U#also yes i was speaking about the s4 finale at work#WAIT I THINK THATS WHAT SPARKED THIS CONVERSATION ACTUALLY#cuz they were like hey i dont listen to mal yet but i know many ppl who do and they also like this other podcast#sayer? i think its called ???#and it has an evil/morally gray ai character as the narrator#and they were like i really think you'd enjoy it since you also like ai characters. like hal 9000 my beloved#and i was like so fucking true#and thats what sparked this whole thing i guess. me fucking talking about how i had my shit rocked by 40.2 on my drive this morning#brot posts#and i may in fact look into that podcast also just againw hen im like. not so crazy insane in the membrane over mal#also im podcasted out i miss listening to music on my drives U___U#so it'll be a hot minute before i pick up anything else. if i pick up anything else
