#and i had low expectations

[boyjoan]

hello!! i am choosing not to be centred around the minute details!!

#will fail due to autism but it is my GOAL. in order to have a GOOD DAY #okay so. welcome to this beautiful chilly Sunday edition of #partridge family breakfast!! #remember a few days ago i posted ricotta toast ‼️‼️‼️ #well that was when i discovered the recipe #now....i have ingredients #crispy sourdough toast done a little more than i usually like (i like my toast so anemic) in order to withstand the ricotta #mixed the cheese with salt and black pepper and spread it generously across the toast #wHILST this is happening my grapes are roasting in the oven. stay with me here #id never done this before #and i had low expectations #but they go SWEET and they BURST and contrast the tartness of the cheese BEAUTIFULLY #you only need a couple.... #god it's so tasty the ricotta is like..smooth and peppery and salty and fresh #if you're not into the grape idea this would work BEAUTIFULLY with honey!! or goats cheese omg that would be amazing #i.hope you enjoyed this new and experimental episode #i will be eating ricotta forever <3 #i love you!! i hope you eat well today

"We are not the easiest opponent for everybody else, let's put it that way."

#the quote i think is a ref to carlos and the penalty haha so had to add it #ah also this interview kinda confirmed what i was thinking earlier #about him keeping expectations low and taking any kind of success as a win #even if that means a few points #very pragmatic yknow #he said h'd be happy w being in the lower top 10 #WHAT IF IM NOT HAPPY W THAT FERNANDO? WHAT IF I WANT YOU TO ASPIRE TO GREATER HEIGHTS #but nah im happy as long as its in the points but....id be happier if it was top 3- #nah bcs he had me getting excited over a p5 the other race #but honestly very nice and comforting to see him so happy all the time #also god im so tired and its so late and i still feel ill so the cuteness aggression hes giving me is insane #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #we do a little bit of f1 #2024 chinese gp

i swear this panel drives me INSANE. this as a visual while the text says "it feels like we're pretty close", them being the same age but hien already having developed her tough personality while he's still a sensitive boy. this being one of the FEW things we know about their relationship. what tje hell man what the hell

#dungeon meshi #shuro #toshiro nakamoto #hien #i need to expand on this a little more in my post but auuuu auuu god what is going on... #falin and laios giving him the push to be more of himself Guh #LISTEN #i know hien's totally got some repression in her too but she learned to deal with it completely differently #her low empathy note kind of feels like a measure along with her own confidence to not let things affect her #she got thrust into this world of her job since she was so small so no doubt she had to be strong mentally for that too... #and dont even get me started on hien's acceptance and expectation of them ending up together. bevause im gonna talk about it later #ive been trying to piece together why falin and laios being themselves affected him so much but presumably not hien #but like . she is fucking ripe with issues man i know it. i see now

Rise of the Pink Ladies had one of if not the best coming out scenes I’ve ever watched and they’re just. Taking it away. Throwing it in the garbage. With everything going on surrounding queer people now, that one just hits especially hard. Fuck you Paramount :/

#like. i don’t get it. #i had low expectations it’d get renewed. i hoped obviously but i’ve been burned before #but just fucking getting rid of it? #honestly just fucking despicable #grease rise of the pink ladies #rise of the pink ladies #rotpl

Maybe is my very particular interpretation but for me gods are very much a Concept more than people so the whole gale/mystra thing is very much a wizard falling in love with magic itself as an artist falls in love with art itself. And oh man no matter how much you love it that cant never love you back. Not like a real person. But you feel something is missing and you dont know what it is (it is real human connection and people who actually love you) so you are like. "Ah i see i could become Better At What I Am I just need to Improve." And thats your thing ! and what people said you were good at since you were a kid thats where your value is isnt it!!

#mystra telling gale to kill himself its a metaphor of thinking you have to crunch and overwork in this essay i will #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #anyways i find gale/mystra fucked up thing fascinating narrativelly in like #oh This Really Would Fuck Up Someone Big Time Wouldnt It #in a loving gale way in a “im studying what happened here” way not in a shipping way u know #like this story its so good. #so many things that in the first game were like xd gale really loves u for doing the bare minimun haha lmao lol #are like. oh boy he didnt even have the bare minimun #sometimes in his romance he says such sad stuff like “its nice to feel wanted :>” #bestie thats the bare minimun in a relationship what did mystra did to you #a friend who just started act 1 told me “gale has very low standars for a guy who fucked a god.you would think he expected more from people #makes u think..... #he is like some colleages tried to contact/visit me at first #like colleages not friends gale?? did you had some friend apart fron tara before the game???? #gale of waterdeep #mystra

The way it's depicted, Cybertron's pre-war societal issues had a lot less to do with Functionism and more to do with unchecked government corruption, massive wealth disparity, high layoff/unemployment rates, and disenfranchisement.

People were starving, they needed work, they weren’t getting any. Those that were fortunate enough to have work didn’t get paid living wages, much less have anything to spare for health contingencies. Even then stability’s still the luxury of the top few tiers; they live one cut away from layoff. The government cared only enough to exacerbate these issues by coming up with new ways for exploitation. Any attempts to protest or lobby were shut down through political persecution. As a result the masses turned increasingly to crime, drug abuse, thuggery, and violence. Extreme acts of terrorism gets lauded as long as the collateral damage's suffered by someone else. Morality and caution are eroded in the face of desperation.

Meanwhile the many alleged restrictions of Functionism are just lip service complaints made by the characters which doesn’t match up to most of the stuff we’re shown. Like if Rung could become a psychologist, a specialized job that requires higher education, despite having zero background on top of such a weird alt that he had to be classified as an ornament, then wow the functionists must be open-minded. If Dominus Ambus could be a scientist/doctor/explorer/author/successful social rights advocator during the height of functionist control with a minesweeper military-use alt (assuming that his secondary alt's the same as Minimus'), then wow the functionists must be accommodating. If Tyrest could become chief engineer under Nova and later go into law, a complete change of profession, while being a jet, then wow functionism's flexible. If Ratbat and Momus could become senators in a society that discriminates heavily against beastformers and labor frames, then wow that’s progressive. If every Prime from Nova to Zeta (with the exception of Sentinel, his alt’s a tank, he only has wings in Megatron Origin as part of his Apex armour upgrade), every single named pre-war senator other than Proteus and Momus, and four out of five of Nova Prime’s buddy club (only Galvatron's a grounder) were wingframes in a society that supposedly discriminates against wingframes, then wow that’s… inconsistent worldbuilding.

Megatron didn’t get into bloodsports or start a war because he didn’t get to pursue his dream job. He got driven into the pits and down the slippery slope of moral degeneration because his only source of income was cut off by the mine closure incident. People wanted livelihoods above anything else, it's the failure to provide that that made the miners go off the deep end and resulted in the death of a guard. If Functionism actually ensured that everyone could be guaranteed a job or at least minimized the unemployment rates, then stratified castes or not, there would have been no war. People, or societies, are generally capable of tolerating an incredible amount of injustice as long as the majority still have a chance at scraping by at the end of the day. But the government, and later Megatron, kept yanking the rug out from under everyone over and over until they no longer even had a chance at that; there's no other choice left but fight or die.

#I get that all prejudices are full of contradictions and inconsistencies meant to cater to the needs of the ruling class #for the sole purpose of upholding the social stratification #and tokenism is a common thing #but when you can pull out two or more examples as shown to the contrary for every one of a character's complaints #about how they suffered from functionism discrimination #then it's just a really bad case of inconsistent writing with all tell no show #like you cannot expect me to take the 'flightframes are low caste' thing seriously #because the entire pre-war upper class is almost exclusively comprised of flight frames. it's the ground vehicles that are the minority #honestly it just feels like something made up on the spot for Starscream's sake #and Thundercracker Skywarp Jetfire got benefitted by association #when was functionism introduced as a concept in the comic anyway #was it in that Megatron/Optimus conversation in Chaos Theory? #b/c I'm getting heavy retcon vibes there #I got no impression that functionism was even a thing that existed when reading Megatron Origin #Autocracy's written later but still no functionism #The main social issue is widespread poverty like I'm sure a lot of those ppl would be pretty happy if someone could assign them jobs? #the miners in Megatron Origin weren't mad because they had to work in the mines #They were mad because of the layoff and automation and knowing soon there's going to be no mines for them to work. and then they'd starve #idw transformers #transformers #maccadam
