#it's part of the experience

[wandringaesthetic]

In Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003) the titular Prince gradually loses his clothing as it is damaged. First his hat, then his sleeves, then his shirt. I always found this delightful. It's a fairly common trope for the female action hero to gradually lose bits of her costume and have it be justified by damage and injury, but we don't give men this treatment as often. Sure he's got no shirt for sexy/cheesecake reasons, but he's also looking more beaten and bloodied as the game rolls on. He's getting more desperate. He's losing bits of himself. More skin equals more vulnerability.

Anyway, in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (2024), Sargon (player character, not the titular Prince, easy mistake to make) starts out with no shirt and extremely ripped abs. Fine, as an aesthetic choice, but losing your shirt hits way different than never having a shirt to lose, doesn't it?

#prince of persia #i generally like the lost crown so far but it feels kind of generic #like it was designed by a committee #you ever go to a concert and one of the musicians takes off his jacket or longsleeved shirt as he starts to sweat #sure you could simply not put it on in the first place he has to know the stage lights will make him hot #it's part of the experience

Nature is healing

Sorry I'm late. I forgot this was one. Someone else sent me "nature is healing" and I thought they meant it as a statement.

And I'm like "gosh I hope so"

But yeah. Loool.

I often fantasies about moving away to the woods.

Have a homestead or a farm but that would require a lot of manual labor I just don't have in me.

Anyways. Yes. I'd love it if society collapsed. It means I wouldn't need to have a job ever again.

#I'd probably only work out if someone listened to me complain the whole time #it's part of the experience #As long as they don't dote on me and think I have to go to the hospital #ask game #danachan's asks

I don't know if I have a well-thought-out formulation of this thought but.........

So much discussion of things that are said to Never have happened because they didn't happen onscreen. But like, a significant chunk of the world of the show happens by implication. Ghostfacers Effect is maybe the most famous. And that by itself covers so much ground. Then there's the Dean Cave. (Off the top of my head.) And a thousand other little references and hints and allegations...I don't want to be the jerk who's like "are you sure?" on the topic of "x never happened!" but literally...

#*csv #the instinct to wallow in pain is a valid one #no snark i get it!! #catharsis #it's part of the experience #but also there's a world between screen and pure imagination?? #idk idk #should i tag??

same people crying about ups drivers winning $42/hour are the same people who dismiss unions and say they just take your money and don't do anything for you. Bet you'd like $42/hour!!!!!!!

#not to discount the experiences of workers like those part of the national nurses united union #who are working to unseat corrupt and ineffective union staff who have not been representing their members #but a union is made up of its members and if you dont like what your union is doing there are avenues to get involved #also! a union's power comes from its membership numbers. if youre working at a union site and youre not a member. well. #why do you love management so much #and if your workplace isnt unionized. well. there hasnt been a better time in a century to get started #henry speaks

are you even a remus kinnie if you don't dislike him a litte bit

#it's about two people who don't really like themselves finding bits of themselves in the other person and disliking them for it #it's part of the experience #rooting for remus in mr tell me a fucking secret because you feel his anger but your favourite marauder being sirius #remus lupin #remus kinnie #🌙

Vampire Misunderstanding

So! Danny got adopted by Bruce Wayne, but he doesn't know that Bruce is the Batman. He is just supernaturally oblivious to all things Batman related going on in the House.

But he does notice that Bruce leaves home a lot at night, that he doesn't like to go out in the day and often has his parties at night, and once or twice he's caught Bruce with a bit if blood still splattered on his cheek.

So he comes to the only plausible conclusion. Bruce is a Vampire.

He starts trying to hint at the fact that he knows, but doesn't want to just go out and say it. What if Bruce reacts negatively to him knowing? He's dealt with enough Supernatural Beings to know that they don't like other people (and especially other supernatural beings) intruding on their lives.

So Danny decided to subtly hint at it.

He started asking questions like "So hypothetically, how would you deal with having a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?" Or "So if you had very sensitive skin that could sunburn extremely easily, how much cloud cover would you need to go outside?" And "So what's your opinion on a High-Iron Diet?"

Basically just tossing out questions and trying to Guage Bruce's reaction.

He thinks he's doing a good job!

...

Bruce is certain that he has adopted a Vampire.

Danny is a good kid, but he has a few oddities that are hard to ignore.

For one, his skin is constantly Ice Cold, but he never seens to be bothered by it. As if he was an Undead that didn't require Body Heat anymore.

He also seems to like Hanging out in the Graveyard outside, and when asked about it he says that he is comforted by the place. Just like the Vampires he has met in the past, who feel comfortable when surrounded by Death.

And of course the biggest reason for suspicion is the fact that Danny seems to be hinting at it to him.

He keeps asking stuff like "How would you deal with a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?", probably trying to hint that he is a Vampire who can't eat Garlic, or asking about easy to sunburn skin, saying that he is probably not a Daywalker.

Bruce hopes Danny will just come clean about it soon, he doesn't want to intrude upon the kid when he is so obviously nervous about how he will react.

Hey erm.... is Tumblr actually scaling images down in the app now...?

#edit: if ur getting only the first part of this post on ur dash. pls consider that maybe there are other parts to a post with 10k+ notes #woes of emily #i will rb with an experiment

Having icons on the dashboard increases community. I don't take the time to read every username, but with a quick glance, I know who posted something. It means I can associate what they posted with them. Otherwise it's just Stuff. (It's also fun to see the icons. It's a unique personalization that makes people happy, and their prominence makes tumblr unique.) It doesn't take up space. Why take that away?

it's honestly alarming that they're making this shift to depersonalize and disintegrate community.

part of me feels like this is the progression they want:

can't tell who posts -> don't care who posts -> no connection to who is on your dash -> FYP/algorithm

and it's horrible that they seem to be taking such a beloved website and sending it in these directions. probably overreacting but it's sad and frustrating to watch it go

anyway. it's a good reminder to reblog the posts you love, because that's how the website can keep functioning like it does

#i know it's silly to be annoyed about these things but i feel like it takes away such a big part of the experience and how this website #works and connects you with people #otherwise it's just positing in a void #like i understand why they made the dashboard look like twitter but idk what this is #notart #reglob

#like... i do this all the time....... #i've done it my entire life #my friends were like we support you but that’s not how people normally do it though #and i was like... is the nozzle not there so you can whip the can out and just rawdog it? and the sting is part of the experience #(anyway… force of habit. i still do it now even though i’ve been told that’s apparently not the way) #polls #needed to reupload this because formatting problems #poll #nathan mackinnon #sidney crosby #pittsburgh penguins #colorado avalanche #hockey #nhl
