#Genuinely curious where this is going

[cookii-moon]

Guys focus on the important questions

OK OK so new trailer. No Cole, Jay, or Zane this time, people are freaking out about the Krux and Lilly lookin guys, but I'm here to ask.

WHO ARE THESE GUYS

I mean the obvious answer is that they're just the generic villain faction with little to no importance or depth BUT they look cool and I wanna know what they are OK like where did they come from the little skrunklies.

ALSO while all the mechs are doing their race thing there's just this guy cruising along at the back

Just some random neon futuristic cyclops chilling and just for that frame I love them already like look at them they're so silly

I feel like this guy is just some oni or dragon or smthn. Like... the purple markings... that or some newly introduced species. Or they'll pull a Benthomaar and just never explain it. Also I find it hilarious how we already have Cole using hammers and stuff and then this random guy comes in and not only flexes on him by actually appearing in the trailer but then one ups him by whipping out a massive warhammer with more gold abd over the top accents like dang bro he's not even HERE. (I'm sorry)

Honestly I just saved this for personal use if I end up drawing Sora. Also give them cat claws for weapons. I don't really have any particular reason except for it'd make for awesome action scenes and be thematically fiting.

Okay everyone is focusing on "Oh it looks like Lilly" but are we gonna talk about the puzzle dice thing the magician dude is holding. That looks like something plot relevant.

Okay so this kinda looks like the realm of madness what with the grundle (they're called smthn I CAN'T REMEMBER IT craglings??? ) looking guys, the purple mist, the atmosphere... which If so is awesome because that place kind of just vanished after season 1. That, or it could be the spirit cove, what with.. yknow.. the dragons... or it's some random other realm that will never be seen again. That too.

Also, I will say, seems like a pretty odd choice to have two random ice dragons in Cloud Kingdom.

Honestly I'm going to point out that these ice dragons and the big dragon at the end of the trailer have the exact same color scheme - especially on the wings - as Zane and Cole's dragon forms, respectfully. (But I will also point out that both ice dragons have this color scheme so I'm like 99% sure that's just a coincidence and they just wanted to give them cool gold accents.)

I WILL say, this is probably the most excited I've been for a Ninjago season ever since Master of the Mountain 👀 and to those worrying about Cole, Jay and Zane - Cole and Jay are in the first trailer, don't worry about it. It'll make more sense when the season comes out, I'm willing to bet that the new characters are going to take the lead and the Ninja are gonna have side plots.

Also personally I don't think that's Lilly - or at the very least, not the Lilly we know - primarily because I don't really see why they'd bring her back over literally anybody else, since out of all our dead characters she never really was intended to have any sort of story or arc, she had her story a long time ago when she was a ninja. She already did her thing. Her role is entirely in the marks she left on the world. If they were gonna do something with a Ninja's parent I don't think she'd be the go to pick. But that's just me.

It'd be interesting if she WAS, because that'd mean another Cole arc which YES PLEASE, but I don't think it's likely.

I'm not gonna touch up on the krux guy because it'd make a lot of sense but like why hide his face with nothing more than a tiny visor if you're gonna make some sort of reveal. I mean if it is Krux then this is the guy who disguised himself as Dr. Saunders but now he can't even fathom changing his hair style. I feel like if it is krux then the whole thing is a red herring to get the community talking when really we'll just be told "Oh yeah that's krux" when the episodes come out, or it'll turn out to be a completely different guy.

Okay Byeee

So I'm not trying to stir the pot or freak anyone out, just a genuine question. What's the popular place/social everyone is using now/moving to? (I'm not leaving tumblr just yet, I'm still thinking about things after the whole AI announcement)

But is it still Twtter, is it Instagrm, Blue Sky, Mastadon, Sheezy??? Or are people planning to still stay on Tumblr?

#i'm just genuinely curious #i'm too tired to make a million social accounts #but I'll go where everyone else goes

I don't use it so I'm curious if other people do? if you use it, what cases is it helpful for as opposed to just scheduling or queueing

#i don't like that it's a quick dropdown option in the app #does anyone even use this? if so what for? genuinely curious #i can't think of a scenario where either a) post now b) queue or c) scheudle specific date/time wouldn't be better #polls #seeing initial poll results I'm just going to add in the tags that this is not a new feature it's been around

i’m honestly really happy that slime finally got the chance to apologise to and be forgiven by tilín. he loved [loves] her a lot, probably almost as much as he loves flippa, and it was just very sweet to see

#.txt #genuinely the event was just one big character development moment for slime #and i hope to everything that all those little moments carry through #acknowledging that mari cares about flippa. reminding cellbit not to forget the good things #finally letting himself even think that flippa might really be gone now #[even if she had to push him towards that a lot] #i’m so curious to see where we go from here #idk if the event had as much of an impact on the others but it definitely did a lot for slime

the way Zac turned on a dime upon getting his package was so interesting to me? Like Colin still hides crazy blackmail under his bed for safe keeping, but he also immediately became the wary skeptic, trying to get Thane to understand the danger they’re in. He shifted from “im just happy to have some comfort and food to eat.” to “im going to try to pickpocket the Bishop because what the fuck is happening.”

#dimension 20 #the ravening war #the ravening war spoilers #zac oyama #i already feel like I need to rewatch the first episode because wow that was so much information #I’m just really curious where Zac is going with this because I thought he’d be like a sauve asshole #and then he was kinda a low born man trying his best #then as soon as those packages came into play he practically made no more jokes the rest of the episode #obviously everyone’s got secrets and im genuinely in love with all the pcs already but I can’t get a reading on Colin and im intrigued #d20

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.

Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.

#da2 #dragon age 2 #sebastian vael #listen in my defense..........i don't like bringing sebastian anywhere sksksks #okay look i seriously tried but every time i bring him somewhere i always think man i wish i had brought someone else #and also i do just forget about him! i finally added him to my party at one point and he had 24 points to spend... #that's how long i neglected him after i promised myself i was gonna use him more and then i didn't #it's not that i don't like sebastian as a character though i do tend to side eye him A LOT... it's just that i like everyone else more #even aveline like i'd take aveline over sebastian any day and that's saying something... or is it? i have a lot of feelings about aveline #whereas my feelings about sebastian could maybe fill a thimble...it doesn't help that in my canon run as a mage hawke #i romance anders and well... sebastian wants me to kill anders and my hawke is like 'do i approve of blowing up the chantry? complicated.' #'am i breaking up with anders for this? absolutely. do i still love him? mmhmmm. am i going to kill him sebby? i'd sooner set varric aflame #then sebastian threatens to bring an army to kirkwall and leaves so i can't say i have the greatest opinion on him #even the time where i did kill anders and he stayed in my party he was just... there #and then he glitched out and started t posing while asking if ed ever found out what anders wanted to do in the chantry so..... yeah #but even this playthrough where i'm playing as a lady warrior with a different personality and everything... i'd just rather use anyone els #also keep him away from bethany i do not approve sksksks she's too good for him #i want to understand and see the different angles of him like with the other companions but i've yet to convince myself to do it #also sebastian romancers out there can you like... explain? genuinely can you explain the appeal? i'm curious #because of all the love interests in da2 i look at sebastian and you'd think i'd maybe be more interested? but it's like... #i know about the chaste marriage and everything like that's fine i don't need sex to be a thing in the relationship but it feels less like #an asexual romance and more like... y'know... being with a priest and i guess that's just not one of my kinks? sksksks #i guess there's also the prince angle but i romanced alistair in dao and kept him a grey warden i don't really care about royalty power #and i don't have issues with him being a part of the chantry [well i do but yknow what i mean] since i romanced cullen in dai #and his whole deal with the chantry and magic and shit makes his romance interesting to me but sebastian is just.... a bit too much i think #i don't know i'd like to understand because i really don't but i also keep forgetting about him

Can someone please either validate me or send me to the Corner of Shame? This is very silly but I'm wondering.

So. I was talking to my sister the other day about movies and such, and she told me of one she recently watched with this one actor. And I casually mentioned how much I hated him. Not in a "he's a bad actor" or "he's a bad person" way. Nothing to do with whether I find him attractive or not. Just in a "he looks the most punchable guy on earth and I have this irrational rage against him" way, to the point that I just can't watch movies with him without being annoyed.

My sister looked at me like I was crazy because, "what do you mean you hate the guy". And I told her yeah? That's normal? Don't you have at least one person you can't stand for no reason?

Sister was like 😬😬😬 No??? Which is wild to me, because I could easily name 50 (which I did - not 50 but we were getting close to 20 before i got too annoyed lmao).

Now she thinks I'm slightly insane (/j) (I made myself angry and may have referred to a few individuals as "stupid" and "obnoxious"), and I kinda don't believe I am the only person alive who feels this way. But also she's an incredibly empathetic extrovert, while I'm a very low empath socially anxious creechur so. There's that?? I guess ?? Idk.

Can anyone relate to this? Or am I the weird one?

Also wait. Little disclaimer: I am not generally a violent person AT ALL. Do i get annoyed and angry easily? Yeah. Do I feel like bitch slapping someone right across their stupid face? Yeah, sometimes, sure. Do I do something about it? Not really.

I can be real bitchy and extra sarcastic and petty SURE, but that's the most I'll do if I am legitimately angry. Mostly I just go to my room and cry 🥺 (crying when angry yes it me). So yeah. Before yall think I have unsolved anger issues.

#if you're curious. the guy in question is Thimothée Chalamet #look. from what i've seen he's good at his job and he seems a genuinely nice guy #nothing against him at all like. you go timmy 🙂👍 #i do however have an illogical boiling rage against him #i don't know what it is but i genuinely feel like punching his face everytime he pops up #maybe in another universe we were arch enemies. maybe i was his school bully. maybe HE was my school bully idk #obviously i would never do anything like that but if there's one person that looks like it could use a wedgie is him #and don't get me wrong. i DO feel about about it cus it's not like i'm choosing to be irrationally angry #and this goes for a bunch of other people #i just!!! 😡😡😡 #seeing him (as in his vibe and general presence. nothing to do with physical appearance) #is the equivalent of trying to use cling film while it keeps sticking to itself #you know that one family guy scene with Peter and the cling wrap?? YEAH. THAT. genuinely so annoyed #i've always assumed this was a common thing. as in. there's always at least one person that gets on your nerves for absolutely no reason #but i guess maybe not???? *am* i a hater??? #and btw this ONLY happens with either celebrities (in various degrees) #or people irl i've had some close proximity to <- and in this case it's always justified. i don't generally hate irl people out of nowhere #(okay there is ONE person in specific BUT i do feel slightly justified IMO. and in any case i always make sure to be as nice as possible) #(because poor girl didn't really do nothing wrong. i just have never vibed with her. i tried!! but yeah) #idk where i'm going with this lmao i might just ending up deleting it #whatever. don't worry guys you're all safe i love you very much and wouldn't slap any of you (unless asked you little freaks 👀) #darya talks to herself

by all these reactionary ferrari headlines you’d think that carlos has a 14-1 h2h record over charles so far or something but if you use your brain a little you’ll realise the number of comparable weekends has been 2. two.

#not even going in how embarrassing it is that carlos is qualifying better rn because he’s shitter on the tires #if this theory is true its not even skill… its a lack of skill… that he’s benefitting from… #we’re also on race fucking four gods he needs to get a seat #and if the headlines all mysteriously quiet down and its crickets when charles starts dunking tenths on him in quali again- #ive done great at avoiding these but i saw some clickbait mark webber headline and i was genuinely curious like what does mark webber have #to say. turns out nothing much he avoided the question like a smart man. fuck f1 journalism #this is fucking crazy like you’re doomposting over 2025 ferrari based off 2 race weekends?? are u on crack #by this metric at the end of the 2023 season where carlos was like fucking nowhere while charles was battling max for the win in vegas #there should have been articles asking for sainz to be fired like it has to go both ways #lewis wouldn’t drop the ball at ad23 like someone did hahaha

Interviewer: And what do you think about efforts that have been made through technology, through artificial intelligence, to recreate the early Beatles, making your voice sound younger, bringing those voice back, well, from the grave, really?

Paul: Hmm. Well, it’s a very interesting thing, you know. It’s- It’s something we’re all sort of... tackling at the moment, you know, and trying to deal with, what’s it mean, you know. Um. Yeah, people- I don’t hear that much, cause I’m not on the- on the... internet that much. But people will say to me, oh yeah, there’s a- there’s a track where, you know. John’s singing one of my songs. And it isn’t. It’s just AI, you know. So all of that is- is kinda scary. Um. But exciting? Cause it’s- it’s the future. And we were able to use that kind of thing when we did, when Peter Jackson did the film, Get Back, where it was us making the Let It Be album. And he was able to... extricate John’s voice from a ropey little bit of cassette, where it had John’s voice, and a piano. Um, he could separate them, with AI. They could do- they tell the machine, that’s the voice, this is a guitar, lose the guitar. And he did that. So he has great uses. So when we came to make what will be the last Beatles record, it was a demo that John... had, um, that we worked on, and we just just finished it up, it’ll be released this year. We were able to take John’s voice, and get it pure, through this AI, so then we could mix the record, as you would normally do, you know. So it gives you, it gives you some sort of leeway. So there’s a good side to it, and then a scary side. And we’ll just have to see where that leads.

- Paul McCartney interviewed about Eyes of the Storm for BBC Radio 4 with Martha Kearney │released 13 June 2023

Thought I’d transcribe the (supposedly? I mean what else can it be?) Now and Then related question. Tried my best to stay true to Paul’s speech patterns, meaning there is a lot of ‘you know’s in there. Question starts at 29:30, the interview should still be available for another month on the BBC website. The rest of the interview itself has nothing groundbreaking, although Paul has some nice stories, and there’s a lovely bit where he reminisces a little about his and John’s Paris trip.

#the beatles #paul mccartney #eyes of the storm #mclennon #now and then #my post #he's talked about now and then for years now #how he's always wanted to finish it...... #if it is genuinely a proper beatles version (which... that's what he makes it sound like right?) #very curious how that went down with olivia and ringo #george famously thought it was shit or i guess was just frustrated having to work with someone who wasn't there and couldn't contribute #they must have had A LOT OF IT done already then because doing this without both john and george and still calling it a beatles record #like even paul wouldn't do that if it didn't feature george quite a bit on it right? #very very interesting #would also be curious to know whether he was supposed to say this or not #was this gonna be a big release cash grab situation or is it just still his little passion project that he's been going on about for 30 yrs #i mean it can be both i guess #we shall find out thoughhhhhhh #fucking now and then !!!! you are insane for this paul #LOVED the bit where he's like well it's not really john singing though is it #he says it so definitively #some good takes on ai? scary is a good word for it yes thank you paul

What's a kinsona

#ramblings #this is a genuine question #idk that much abt kin stuff. honestly i'm not even fully sure what kinning is? #like from what i can tell kinning is like. relating to a character and going 'that's me! :D' #but like some ppl do it for funsies while others do it to like cope from trauma or stuff like that #and some ppl take it way more serious than others. like to the point where they don't want ppl who kin the same character interacting w them #but i'm not sure if that's all there is to it?? idk idk #but anyways i've seen some cool sonic redesigns with cool new names and they're labeled as kinsonas #and i'm just curious as to what that is

[menfenced]

I finally watched Nimona and it got me thinking about the “monster as an allegory for queerness” trope. It’s a trope that I absolutely loved when I was coming to terms with my own identity, but I also know it’s a trope that can make some people uncomfortable.

So what else am I gonna do if not make a poll about it?

Vote in the poll and reblog or comment to let me know your thoughts.

#nimona #poll #I don’t know what else to tag this as so people’s find it #so hopefully it just gets enough reblogs for people to see it and get a discussion going #because I am just genuinely curious where people stand on this

grimdark is actually the most dnd ass made up word i think has been created by people oversimplifying and misunderstanding media so far

#whoever that was come tell me where u found that word im curious #was it tiktok or twitter #discovering that word exists was like thanks! i hate it #genuinely intrigued. but its also very stupid #like thats just funny but also sad. like dropping a crunchy taco on the ground and watching it shatter like ur dreams #whoever decided that word was a good idea in that context go write a kids fantasy book instead. ur making english worse #“grim” literally means gruesome and dark U DONT SAY CHAI TEA BECAUSE CHAI IS TEA UR SAYING TEA TEA #/ref but jeez 😭

Okay but,

Is it me or did they, like,

Sasuke-ified Wolfwood?

Where is the subtle dilemma, the playfulness, the charisma.. Now it's 'grrrrrrr CaLl Me ThE pUnIsHeR'

It's not just him either, they really smoothed up every character to fit a pre-established anime archetype and honestly its boring.

#trigun stampede #Trigun #Wolfwood #Dunkar rant #Like #I still think its a okay show #The scene are really well animated like #Genuinely beautiful stuff #But the chara-designs and the characterisation? Bland as hell #Like THE ANGEL??? WHERE IS THE SAUCE?? WHERE IS THE BODY HORROR?? #SIR THAT IS AN ELF #anyway #Really disappointed but still curious about where this is going
