#because it's like

You know, there's probably an alternate universe somewhere where Bumbleby was named "Bellong"

#because it's like #a portmanteau between Belladonna and Xiao-Long #and their reasoning would probably be like #“aww it looks and sounds like the word 'belong' ” #anyway #i had this thought and now y'all get to think about it too #rwby #rwby shower thoughts #bumbleby #it's a better ship name than blang or yake at least #blake belladonna #yang xiao long

i am staring so suspiciously at this line in retrospect

#ff #ffxiv #ew #get it #because it's like #because #because the game uses “fly” metaphorically #it's like

[s-leeeepyy]

saw this on stream in the middle of math class and knew i had to draw it. so here i am a few hours later after school ended

i also realised i forgot bro's clothes guess he's naked now :skull:

#lifesteal #princezam #lifesteal fanart #ngl writing tags on my own posts make me cringe at myself #because it's like #ugh who are you to try and promote your stuff!!! #and i'm like #UGH who AM i!!!!! #anyway it's kind of shit quality so it's fine :3

i feel like something that isn't talked enough about it is how out of date the poverty line is and how rapid rent increases/inflation is both putting so many more people below it in practice but also locking them out of actual state benefits

#like ofc the min wage needs to be increased but like #so do standards about what counts as poverty and what income makes people eligible for benefits #because it's like #most of them you have to work in some capacity to receive #so if you have NO income you don't qualify either #but then if you work full time #for a place that technically pays over our dogshit min wage #you make 'too much' while still... not making even close to enough to live independently

it genuinely makes me so happy to see people's dedication to their random favorite fictional character like yes, please show me the itabag you've made for an obscure video game character from 2006, please show me your shrine that you've dedicated to your favorite anime boy, please tell me about how your comfort character brings you so much joy!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#it makes me feel happy #because it's like #we all have different favorite characters but we're all connected by our extreme devotion for them #and also it makes me mad when people hate on it #'what a waste of money' 'i bet theyre gonna grow out of it' 'this is why you don't have any friends' #like first of all hyperfixations are caused by something you can't control #and second of all people who indulge in their faves are happier than you will ever be #and even if it isn't caused by some kind of hyperfixation #let people be happy....... just let people enjoy the things they want to enjoy #let people spend their hard earned money how they wish to spend it #I just don't understand how people can see others who are happy and say something negative #sorry had to get this out of my system

One of my FAVORITE retcons, I believe, is cats calling Nightpelt an old man.

He is around Blackfoot's age and is Clawface's twin brother, showing he is younger than ALL OF THE OTHER LEADERS WHEN BLUESTAR CALLED HIM OLD AT THAT GATHERING. FUCK YOU MEAN HE'S WEAK AND OLD, ERINS BLUESTAR IS OLDER THAN HIM TIGERCLAW IS OLDER THAN HIM SCOURGE IS OLDER THAN HIM WTF

#nightpelt #nightstar #bluestar #espressopaw rambles #espresso rambles #honey rambles #honeypaw rambles #BECAUSE IT'S LIKE #'HUH?!' after you read yellowfang's secret and nightpelt's graphic novel #it's funny too lol

one thing that does annoy me about the Gw2 story is how after the plot reveal of the dragons being necessary to the planet happens, everyone starts acting like this was an obvious fact that everyone just knew, and that the commander is an idiot for killing two dragons. nevermind the fact he wasn’t even the person leading the attack in the first case, and only took over the lead in the second case because their command structure fell apart.

also kind of irritating because I like Trahearne but it’s another example of how while he’s alive, he gets all the praise for everything you do, and then when he’s dead you get all the blame for everything he did. people even start calling you things like “leader of the pact” and “commander of the pact” even though you were never the leader, aren’t in the pact anymore, and actually rejected taking over command a few episodes ago.

and it would be one thing if the game was self-aware about it, but it seems to genuinely want you to think that the dragon plot reveal was an obvious fact that you just ignored. like everyone in Elona seems to be aware of how all this works and you’re mocked on several occasions for killing the dragons, but for years before this point no one had a fucking clue and Taimi was the one to figure it out. so if it wasn’t for you and your guild, people still wouldn’t be aware of this

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #I hate when writers in a game change and it stops making sense because they just don't care about staying consistent #I hate feeling like a game is trying to rewrite itself as if I didn't play it #there's so many bits of dialogue and etc in the last two expansions where I've had to be lie #''ok just gonna ignore that was said'' #because the continuity of the story has basically been thrown away #and again if they were self aware about it #like they acknowledged people are basically misrepresenting events and using the commander as a scapegoat #but so far that hasn't happened #and in fact they had Braham say after Joko's speech #''lol well we do cause a lot of chaos'' #like the game actually wants you to believe you're the ones directly causing problems #it's just grinds my gears tbh #because it's like #''go do this thing'' #[does thing] #''HAHA LOOK AT THIS IDIOT DOING WHAT WE TOLD HIM TO DO'' #stop trying to force the disgraced hero narrative anet #the way you are trying to implement it is not working #also like if everyone basically knew this anyway #why did nobody stop me gffdshfgdslhg #the Pale Tree knew they came from the dragons #you telling me she didn't also know that dragons are necessary to nature?? #yet she sent off three of her kids to go murder TWO dragons in a row??? #I'm sorry it's just so dumb

When you get a comment on your elven war au saying that a character would not attack their own people to protect the people they are currently with like...do you not know how war works?  Sacrifices have to be made and sometimes a peaceful, non-violent method will not work.  Yes, I know that a prince would not want to attack his own people but he also knows that he cannot keep his hands clean if he wants to try and protect these people he’s grown to care about.  War is ugly and sometimes it makes people do things they don’t want to do

#sass rants #is it a little annoying? #uh yeah #because it's like #i'm the one writing this story #i know these characters better than you and how they would react in this au #why the fuck are you questioning me? #like it's okay that jiang yuelou #who's both a prince and a general #gets to kill people to protect people #but chen yuzhi #who's a healer and also a prince #doesn't get to kill people to protect people? #make that make sense #chen yuzhi knew what he was doing #it's why he made the choices he did in the story #why can't he be a multi-faceted character? #why does he just have to stay in one particular box of characterization?

Getting major Karna & Karna/Deli vibes from this song…

Well, I'm perfection when it comes to indiscretion Might fuck around and just succumb to my aggression I taste blood and it’s turned to an obsession Baby, I'm confessin', yeah You got me thinkin' that I was too mean Well, everything that I say, I believe Tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve And change like a season, reason for nothin' I am disruptive, I've been corrupted And by now, I don't need a fuckin' introduction I've been gone 'cause I been on this road too long

You know I get too caught up in a moment I can't call it love if I show it I just fuck things up if you noticed Have you noticed? Tell me, have you noticed? I got a problem doin' things I'm not supposed to But you did anything I told you 'Cause you'd let anybody with a body control you And you know it, too You got me feelin' like I been too mean And everything that I say, I believe Tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve And fuck like a demon, do it like nothin' I am disgustin', I've been corrupted And by now, I don't need no help to be destructive I've been gone, yeah, I been on this road too long

There is a Huge discussion to have about people who primarily play and seek out horse games in the modern gaming industry having way too high expectations for a genre that’s barely just crawled out of “niche and unprofitable jail” and that needs atleast a good few years for non-SSE people to Make Things and especially how you further this genre not by yelling “Why aren’t you, an indie company funded purely by Kickstarter, providing us AAA quality for free and doing exactly what your consumers tell you”, but by understanding that it’s just Barely found its footing on the actual market (and that’s me being fucking generous let me be clear) and that video games, especially of the quality that the mainstream gaming community sees takes years, if not decades, and take huge sums of money and time, the former which it doesn’t have, the latter which we aren’t allowing them

But that post is not for some random Swedes tumblr dot com blog and it is not something I have the politeness to write in a way which won’t get me yelled at (because as per usual, I have Thoughts and Opinions about this)

But holy shit some of y’all need to get a sense of scale around the gaming parts of this world y’all are Not in the know

#It's literally the #What do we want? How do we want it? meme #Because it's like #What do we want? Horse games #How do we want it? NOT LIKE THAT YOU USELESS DEVS #Spoken by people who Do Not understand the industry or the medium at All #And because this is the tags and I'm always ruder in the tags #To these people I'm vagueing? #Go play some other video games and learn what these things actually require of the developers who make them

You ever run across a YouTube video that you watched years ago and think

"This is it. This was the last video that I enjoyed from this creator. This was the marker that officially ended the good old days."

And that just sends you into a spiralling depression?

#I've spent 30 minutes being sad over a 20 minute Skyblock video by Ssundee #because it's like #that was it. #that was the beginning of the end. #that was the first video of the final Ssundee series that I enjoyed. #that was it. it was all downhill past that.

just now connected that my "I'm tired all the time"-thing might not be a symptom of my allergies but of my depression 🤔

#because it's like #when I take my allergy meds all of my symptoms vanish because my allergies honestly aren't that bad #but my tiredness stays the same whether I take meds or not... #like. even if it's not necessarily my depression. I don't think it's my allergies #doddie redet

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

#the ethics are whack but more importantly you didn't even want to write it?? who is it even for?? not you? not me? #you didn't even have enough interest in the premise to take a crack at it?? then who cares? #please don't populate in my search results I'm looking for things that people wrote because they liked something #ao3

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

#who cares if its platonic love who fucking CARES if its because they wanna kiss like the devotion and the tenderness is there no matter what #mainly brought to you by: jack and anne from black sails but also probably sydcarmy and msr #sydcarmy #msr #rackhanne #the bear #black sails #txf #the x files #mulder x scully #sydney x carmy #jack rackham x anne bonny #oh wait perhaps also theonsa if you squint #maybe not

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight #i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it. #sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd. #i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist! #something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine
