#🧡🤍💖 #do you know how many times i hear this #like babe you’re missing the whole entire point #just went on my weekly tik tok on the toilet foray to find someone wrote a song #how is it 2022 and straight women are still saying dumb things like this #do you not understand the power women hold??? they will destroy you #everyone knows the stereotype that sapphic relationships move at light speed i am tell you now #a 4 week situationship with a woman will hurt you as bad as a long term relationship with a man hahaha #let the record show i am speaking from the point of a witness not from experience #i don’t date relationships aren’t my thing babe #arguably this has caused me more drama than if i did but #it’s tough out here babes #lesbian #one day i will hear this for the 100th time and i swill snap and i will take it as a challenge #i mean that

I think it’s funny how people point to the existence of female kataang stans as proof that kataang isn’t written for the male gaze when every female kataang stan I’ve interacted with has said something to the effect of “but he’s so nice, he wouldn’t have done something like that” to dismiss his blatant violation of Katara’s boundaries on screen. It is unfortunately not uncommon for women to flock to the defense of male interests.

#do you realize how many times real sa victims hear things like this? #female kataang stans are like those women who try to convince you men have it just as hard #and say things like ‘it was just one little touch is it really worth ruining his life over?’ #again do you know how common it is for sa victims to hear this? #how they are wrong for feeling hurt because the perpetrator was ‘good’ or ‘traumatized’ or ‘didn’t know better’? #i see you #atla #anti kataang #aang critical #katara deserved better #not to mention kataang was a fantasy of two men from 2005 #whereas zutara by contrast was primarily conceptualized by women #and back when being openly misogynistic was still acceptable #the fact that zutara was most popular among women and girls was used as evidence of it being inferior

Not sure if this theory makes any sense at all but I'm starting to believe that there's no time skip between Wally's phone calls and what we see/hear in the show's Media/Merchandise. If we see the Toyland call being made before the Homewarming episode then it would make sense that Wally's expecting Barnaby to come over soon. As well as the Homewarming sketch from the prior update. (I don't know, still kind of brainstorming this perspective)

that theory Does make sense and i've been considering it! the "timeline" is such a nebulous thing right now because we still... don't really know! there are too many variables and too many Maybes for any solid answer.

maybe the reality that the neighbors live in exists outside of time like you say, and like half of me suspects. there's so much reality fuckery already present, but I'm also... unsure of how much merit this holds given what we know / can infer about how time passes in Home. i'm putting this theory on a low shelf to look at but not prioritize

maybe it really has been 50 years, and Barnaby is either still around / Wally is still in contact with him, or Barnaby... isn't there. who knows, maybe Wally was just verbalizing some Wishful Thinking. i mean, Wally is a bit of an unreliable narrator, isn't he? we can't assume that everything he says is entirely accurate or truthful. and i mean, if it's been 50 years it makes sense that Wally would be pushing for connection / to revive WH. who knows how long he's been trying.

hm... i mean. it could be a mix of that and the Outside Of Time theory. who knows, maybe W is receiving calls from different points in the timeline - Wally may have started out just calling, and has just graduated to invading the WH website / getting pushy with the envelopes and media that's been sent to the WHRP. maybe Wally got tired of waiting for W to respond before W was even born. who's to say!

#i mean. idk the emphasis wally puts on Its So Quiet makes my brain tilt its head #it feels like wally breaking composure before he pastes the Facade back on with '-during homewarming' #that and just the way he phrased 'everyones usually so busy so its just me and home for a long while' #Usually so busy. Usually. why not Always? or Is? #usually. #and then the 'its just me and home for a long while' #the phrasing here has Connotations i think! #homebogging #welcome home speculation #wh speculation #OF COURSE. I HAVE TO DEBUNK MYSELF! #what we hear / see from Wally is - ironically - more genuine than the WHRP's or W's recovered media (save the eddie excerpts) #the WH media shows us the ideal homewarming - where everyone is getting into the spirit and spending time together and the like #but then wally could be telling us what homewarming is Really like - lonely. quiet. #WHICH MAKES SENSE THEMATICALLY! and it mirrors how christmas time is. its marketed as this joyful thing that brings people together #when in reality its lonely and stressful. i know i certainly never feel more lonely than i do at that time of year! #so there's just. layers. right now im simultaneously believing in the time discrepancy And them existing outside of time #im leaning on the first one but you know! #BUT!!! IM CONFIDENT THAT THE HOMEWARMING WALLY WAS CALLING FROM WAS NOT THE ONE WE SAW IN THE UPDATE. #wally spoke with enough familiarity about the time of year to make me think 'hes lived through many of these hasnt he' #it could be that time Has passed for the neighbors and its been many homewarmings. #it could be that it Started as what the commercials/update showed us. #but as time passed maybe it became a time where everyone just... Isolates for one reason or another. so now it's just quiet and lonely #im still rolling it all around in my head! many factors and implications to consider w/ this update! #Take All Of This With A Grain Of Salt As Usual!

Australian Rituals / Teeth of God Tour Bingo

Alroighte gwois, let's hear your predictions for the upcoming rituals. I *might* make another bingo (like on Wembley) - even if I don't, let's get them all in one place cus I think it's funny.

If you have something specifically for the Teeth of God Tour (because they are headliners and can do Cooler™ Fancier™ stuff) do specify. Same for strictly Australian Rituals. Some stuff may happen earlier (like when they debuted TMBTE and the new Espera masks), others may only happen on the Tour, so let's just put them all here and see what happens 😗✌️

Please reblog/put on the replies your predictions!! Whether serious or silly, please share!

Mine are:

One of the Vessels (Vessel or ivy OR Espera!!!!) singing onstage with Oli

Kangaroo/koala headbands / Aussie Explorer hat

EUCLID (more for Teeth of God but wouldn't be surprised if earlier)

The Apparition (PLEASE)

The Summoning pushups will return

Older song throwback (please please Sugar or Jaws. TNDNBTG for ToG)

Outfit change for the Vessels (only cus i think Australia is quite hot now innit? poor iv will MELT in that jacket)

NEW VESSEL JEWELLERY

This one I'm not super confident/keen on BUT new Vessel mask with Antlers (more likely on ToG but who knows)

#I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE RITUALS AAAAAAA IT'S RIDICULOUS #i kinda hate that because of timezones they will be playing during the day (for me) rather than later at night but!! #it means we can at least gather round in the evening and react together #cus lord knows how many full nights of sleep i sacrificed during the US rituals #actually yeah now that i think about it it *IS* better this way #ignore my earlier tag then i am thinking out loud #i need at least one picture of the crew with koalas. Just one #i know the girlies are there already so i'm assuming they are ALL there #(one of the Esperas posted on her stories. calm down guys i am not doxing anyone) #do you think they are doing fun Aussie stuff 🥺 trying vegemite and milo and petting koalas and fighting roos 🥺🥺 #wait but Adam is not there yet. maybe her photo is from last year. or maybe they're all arriving at different times idk #i just hope they are not stressing too much and are having fun and healthy 👍 #i will get SO emotional hearing Vessel fully recovered on stage again 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 #ANYWAYS I RAMBLED TOO MUCH OMG SORREH #if you reached this have a little snack for your troubles 🤲 🍊🧃🍬 #sleep token #sleep token teeth of god tour

I'm so proud of myself about finances in the past couple months. I still struggle with money but I did enough meditation and journaling and practicing about it to make myself able to actually face my loans and credit cards and savings and bills and start really truly organizing and addressing them for the first time in years instead of just flying by the seat of my pants.

Like. This is a huge deal for me. I've felt like I'm in deadly danger every time I've tried to think about money for years and years. I'm finally able to look it in the face and stare it down and start to organize and plan on purpose instead of just keeping up with the minimum to stay afloat. I'm so proud of myself.

It's still a refrain of "GUILT (funny link)" every time I think about money but I'm able to actually make spreadsheets and face the numbers and monthly tracking again, and even make a new full budget which I haven't been able to do in ages.

still feel guilt, overwhelm, and helplessness, but no longer feel as much deep elemental shame and terror. that's progress baby

#we don't need to talk about how many months and months of therapy visits and doctor appointments I put on credit cards #among other things #but I had to put my foot down about it a couple months ago and shout at myself a little saying HEY #I AM SHAKING YOU BY THE SHOULDERS I AM SHOUTING FOR YOU TO HEAR #OF COURSE IT WAS A TERRIBLE FINANCIAL DECISION BUT YOU WEREN'T EVEN EXPECTING TO BE ALIVE #THE CREDIT CARD DEBT WAS NECESSARY TO KEEP YOU ALIVE AND IT DID AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS WAY LESS IMPORTANT THAN THAT #why the FUCK are you feeling SO ASHAMED for making the best decision you knew how to make at the time??? #just because you know NOW that you could have tried some other options doesn't mean you did THEN #you may have known enough to feel shame and guilt yes but you would never in a million years have gotten the help you needed fast enough #by attempting to go another route #you didn't trust anyone besides a very few handfuls of people and even them it wasn't fully #and the stress of running it through parental insurance was so terrifying to you bc you didn't know what that would do #and you never had cosigners for anything your whole adult life. it's OKAY #you fucking DID YOUR BEST #YOU HAVE LEARNED. YOU HAVE MADE CHANGES. YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE BETTER #YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LEARN AND IMPROVE OVER TIME #it is not the end of the world. even the utilities sending you to debt collections etc etc #YOU ARE FIGURING IT OUT ONE PIECE AT A TIME #MORE PEOPLE ARE ASHAMED AND AFRAID OF THEIR OWN FINANCES THAN YOU THINK #if the people who fought and argued with and shamed you for considering student loans much less taking them out #had wanted you to actually be financially safer and healthier #they could have just fucking helped out or cosigned your loans or actively helped you find other solutions #instead of spending months and months telling you it was the worst decision ever and would ruin you financially for decades and such #you made the best decisions you could with the level of terror and knowledge that you had. it was enough to keep you alive. #isn't that enough? #isn't it a victory to survive?? isn't that enough?????? #god i'm cringing at sharing this but if it's been this hard for me surely at LEAST one of you has also made financial mistakes or regrets #and seeing me be honest that I fucked it all up too and it's a mess and I'm just climbing back through it as best as I can as I go #will hopefully make at least one of you feel a tiny bit less alone

i think. for spot being in love is the biggest and most unexpected thing in the world to him he didn't expect it he doesn't quite believe it's real he can't get over it. and for race it's another tuesday. and this means that race says I love you first because it's not hard for him and race says it more often because it's not hard for him and race says it more casually because it's not hard for him but spot says it and feels it from his head to his toes and there are not three words in the English language that mean more to him than "I love you" to say. or to hear.

#ive long held for no real reason that spot is a poet #and i think he'd (exclusively in private with race) be the type of cornball to recite his own poetry to his partner in a quiet moment #i think spot shows his love in so many ways. race can just say it but the words get stuck behind his teeth. so instead he does things #makes lunches offers to do the shopping cleans up without being asked brings things home that will make race smile #writes sappy poetry soaked in layers of metaphor that only race has any hope to understand (and only race will ever get to see) #i think race knows how much weight spot places on the phrase 'i love you' and loves getting to give it to him so often #and also appreciates how much it means that spot says it to him and only him. #spot loves his friends but is not casual with I love yous. he will do things for them he will care for them he will stick up for them #he has only ever said 'i love you' to race #also his sister in aus where she exists tho. he loves her soso much #anyway. #newsies #sprace #spot conlon #racetrack higgins #race higgins #also spot Never gets sick of hearing race say it. doesn't matter if it's the first time ever or the tenth time in ten minutes #he's going !! he loves me!! in his head every time

Can you talk about what you enjoy about the Lust arc? (since you've brought it up several times and I enjoy reading your thoughts :D)

i think what i like about it the most is that it culminates all the themes of the hueco mundo arc + the overarching story of bleach in general into one fight. and it is masterfully executed.

you would think that invoking so many symbols, images, callbacks, themes etc with one fight would be overwhelming but it's not! it's the one part of the story where it feels like kubo has control of all the elements and you really get to see his skill as a patient storyteller shine. foreshadowing only works if you're willing to sit on stuff for a while, and the lust arc feels like the pay-off for so many build-up moments that have been cooking for a while—ichigo promising to protect orihime, zangetsu's king and horse threat, kaien's monologue about the heart, ichigo's observation that ulquiorra has become more human (while he himself has become more hollow), ulquiorra's speech to orihime ("what is the heart? if i tear open your chest will i find it there?" vs the last hand reaching out scene). it's also an important cornerstone to many future moments—zangetsu confessing that the one they have always wanted to protect was ichigo, ichigo showing orihime his new form in horn of salvation, this being a "despair" moment that ichigo recalls he's overcome when he's going up against yhwach. even if this fight is not the last "event" of the HM arc, it certainly has a finality to it that's very cathartic. we finally get returns for the foreshadowing that's been happening for a while, and this moment in itself is a gigantic stepping stone that leads to horn of salvation, arguably one of the biggest moments for ichigo and orihime.

but where horn of salvation allows ichigo and orihime to succeed, lust forces them to fail. remember, the arc begins with ichigo wanting to gain mastery of his hollow, and orihime wanting to be independent enough to support ichigo in battle. they're both incredibly glum about it, and they're both incredibly earnest about wanting it, which is why it's a painful shock when the events at the tower unfold the way they do. kubo gives them no mercy, just rains failure and despair down on them, makes their worst nightmares come true. they do not achieve anything they set out to achieve at the start of this arc. everyone always likes to point out that orihime "did nothing" this arc or that she fell back to being a damsel in distress for the entirety of it, but again: not only is this is played out like a tragedy, ichigo doesn't meet his goal either. orihime and ichigo are at rock bottom, the worst versions of themselves, the most helpless to circumstances outside their control. they really feel like teenagers here, and when you know how badly orihime has wanted to NOT be a burden, it only hurts worse when she does indeed become one. by the time ichigo cuts off uryu's hand, you've spent enough time with the character to know how sick he'd be when he regains consciousness and sees what he's done. there's a purpose to it that makes me actually like the lust arc for its failure. just because a character is a good person and wants something badly enough does not actually mean they will get it. orihime in particular gets a lot of slack for not accomplishing what she set out to do throughout the HM arc, but there is an intentionality to it that's very different from kubo's usual, good ol' fashioned sexism/misogyny. the despair here feels intentional and not a slight against orihime. he wanted to push these characters to a dark corner and he was not afraid of how ugly it was going to get. i know, given the climate over the last 20+ years of how women get written in fiction, there is an impulse to groan when a woman isn't allowed to take a W but the lust arc is clear that there was no way orihime and her ragtag group of teenage friends were going to come out of this unscathed with an easy victory. power of friendship aside, these are amateurs going up against a man that's kept soul society fooled for years, using a technique he's honed for years, using an army he's built for years. the only one with any amount of career experience is renji, and even his leadership is not enough for this suicide mission.

the only thing they have going for them is the resolve in their hearts. the war was supposed to start months later but they started it early. every one of their foes is stronger than they are. they are vastly outnumbered. and yet they keep going. it was doomed from the start, but something about orihime's optimism and ichigo's bullheadedness and all the victories so far fool you into thinking maybe they can beat the odds this time. but kubo's realism comes through here. none of the victories feel like an asspull, and all of the victories end with a deep sense of exhaustion. they're lucky they came out of this alive, and ichigo is lucky he came back at all. there was never going to be a circumstance where he came out of this unbloodied. his fate was sealed the day zangetsu implied the horse would one day take over. it's ichigo and orihime's utter idealism that destroys them. this is why i struggle to wrap my head around "fix-it" fics where orihime does something different in the HM arc. it just undercuts how woefully underprepared she was at this moment to handle this life and all its raw ugliness (i mean, each to their own, just a personal opinion! orihime's lack of agency plays a big part in her tower breakdown)

meanwhile, you have ulquiorra, who is the perfect antithesis of everything the characters, the series—and maybe even shonen itself stands for. lust comes at a time in pop culture that was a very cinemasins-esque, nitpicky era where audiences were feeling like the power of love // power of friendship trope was a lazy shortcut. it was the birth of the asspull era, where love wasn't enough to justify a return from the dead. even if we've now moved on to a kind of post-ironic/sincere enjoyment of these tropes again, they were already starting to elicit eye rolls back in the early-mid 2000s. ulquiorra feels very emblematic of that culture, a culture that wants nothing more than hardcore realism, even at the expense of our heroes, the ones we want to root for. if our heroes win, there has to be a logical explanation for it. we're not satisfied with a flimsy little thing called love anymore.

the way kubo resolves this is just. so intriguing. i've always pegged kubo to be a bit averse to fully embracing the usual trademarks of shonen (i mean, look at how different ichigo is to the rest of them), but i've also noticed that he's not fully against the idealism of it either. there is a part of him that sometimes enjoys the deep simplicity of emotion and the one-dimension of virtue. in lust, he has an answer that satisfies both the realist and the idealist. zangetsu explains the mechanics for how ichigo comes back, but orihime is the heart trigger. you couldn't have had one without the other. there is a logical explanation, but it's meant to be an underlying framework. the overarching motivation is still all heart. it's...power of love with a little science packed into it. at the end of the day, kubo still loves this genre, even with his usual disinterest in heroes and heroism. there's something for everyone, from the battle-scaling dudebro to the keen-eyed shipper (the two most extreme ends of the spectrum i could think of; obviously these are not the only categories of "fan")

speaking of shipping, i love the lust arc so much for how it feels like an us vs the world arc (quite literally too! even if ichigo and orihime recovered from this, most people had zero faith that ichihime would recover from this, and everyone was convinced that this was the end of the road for them, even if it was just the beginning). it was a special time to be in the fandom for anyone who could see the arc as proof for what it was: that ichihime could survive anything—conflict, tragedy, the majority of bleach fans' disapproval, death itself :D

#with the exception of rukia vs as nodt this was the last fight in bleach i actually enjoyed :( #also considering how many characters feel like they're overstaying their welcome #it really is a breath of fresh air that ulquiorra arrives; does his thing and then exits the stage. perfect beautiful character arc no notes #bleach has no shortage of great villains (except those boring ass sternritters) but ulquiorra is a personal fave #we got to spend TIME with him. we got to MOURN him. god. #meta #ichihime #<- for that last paragraph. #the fact that ichigo is so keen to make it up to her (it = lust arc)🥹 no one loves her more than he does it's so serious #also @ anon: my entire body broke out into a set of chills when i heard ichigo say 'i hear her...' for the first time. life-changing #they make me believe in a marriage between men & women <3 do you know how hard that is to do for a kid w the kind of trauma i have #asks

Dumb ramble but I hate that you can't critique The Thing you love within a fandom space without some dude breathing down your neck like "Well actually that means you hate The Author and The Thing! And what about all the times The Author did this Good Thing? Checkmate, liberal." as if you can't be critical of something because you love it and want it to be better.

#just. i'm in a rush rn so i'm probably not articulating myself well and i could go more in-depth with my thoughts #at the risk of someone spinning my words into “cringe blue hair pronoun wants to cancel araki!” which... will happen inevitably #even though i don't know how many times i can repeat “i do not hate araki #this is specifcally about jjba btw because like. #look i love it and araki has done some good things (or at least had good intentions in most cases) #but i'm so over the fact he constantly has to reach for some form of traumatizing women in his writing #and I already hear “well it shows they're a villain!” #but does he HAVE to use assault? why does he have to use that instead of demonstrating their villainy in other ways #that don't need to use it as a crutch #i'm not even saying you can't ever write about assault #that's not my argument either. #I'm not even accusing him of being a bad writer or person but just. Can we please retire the overusage of assault for shock value? #i obviously don't hate people who enjoy the series regardless #i'd be a massive fucking hypocrite #i mean i've literally been in this damn fandom for 6 years and just now decided to post my art. #but i'm tired of any time someone brings up legit criticisms of the misogyny in his writing #it's met with “but araki did this-” like it changes anything. #i'm glad he did somewhat improve writing women over time compared to the earlier parts #that said. that doesn't cancel out the blunders he did make or will make in the future #even if he has good intent. #or really any criticism of the writing being hit with “but its not supposed to make sense #anyways rant over. probably going to delete later bc im tired. #tw assault #assault tw

ROPE OF THE WEEK (3):

SISAL ROPE

FROM ROPE AND CORD / ROPE & CORD

(It’s actually called that)

I LOVE ROPE AND CORD!!!

THEY’RE MY FAVORITE STORE!!!

BUT I'M NEVER ABLE TO SHOP THERE BECAUSE I’M BANNED 

(He used to visit that store every day from opening to closing hour and harassed customers and employees by telling them rope facts)

I WILL NOW TELL YOU ABOUT ONE OF THE ROPES I USED TO BUY THERE ALL THE TIME BEFORE I GOT BANNED

WITH 9 REVIEWS (SURPRISINGLY) AND RATED 5 STARS

THIS SISAL ROPE IS THREE-STRANDED AND TWISTED JUST LIKE THE ROPE BEFORE

(Rope of the week (2) link)

EXCEPT IT’S A SISAL ROPE INSTEAD OF A POLYETHYLENE

NOW YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SISAL ROPE AND MANILA ROPE SINCE THEY ARE COMMONLY CONFUSED WITH EACH OTHER

WHICH I DON’T GET WHY THEY ARE WHEN IT’S VERY OBVIOUS

I WILL NOW TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE!

(Took up too much time will be explained in another post)

NOW YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

THIS ROPE’S DIAMETER RANGES FROM 3/16 IN. TO 1 IN

WHICH MEANS YOU CAN USE IT FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES BECAUSE IT’S DIAMETER ISN’T LIMITED

BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS YOU CAN’T CLIMB A ROPE THAT IS 3/15 IN.

AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE DIAMETER AFFECTS THE STRENGTH SO IT CAN HOLD AS LITTLE AS 540 POUNDS (WHICH IS STILL SUPER STRONG) TO 8100 POUNDS!!!!

THIS ROPE IS SO STRONG!!!!!!!!!!

IF I WAS THAT STRONG I COULD HOLD SO MANY ROPES!!!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT IT IS ALSO ROT AND ULTRAVIOLET RESISTANT

THOUGH IT SADLY SINKS IN WATER 

IT DOES SOMETHING COOLER IF YOU LET THE ROPE ABSORBS WATER

IT BECOMES STRONGER BY 120%!!!

IT TURNED ITS GREATEST WEAKNESS TO IT’S GREATEST STRENGTH

THIS ROPE IS MY IDOL

I AM TAKING SWIMMING LESSONS BECAUSE OF THIS ROPE

(Genuinely true, not an exaggeration)

YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY IT BECOMES STRONGER IN THE WATER BECAUSE ONE OF THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS ROPE IS TO MAKE FISHING NETS

THIS IS NOT ONLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ROPE (THEY ARE ALL) BUT SAILOR WADDLE DEE’S FAVORITE ROPE 

I SEE THEM WALK INTO THE ROPE AND CORD STORE AND WALKING OUT WITH 600 FEETS OF THIS ROPE VERY OFTEN

WHICH COST AROUND 2,100 STAR COINS

I WAS WONDERING HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO AFFORD THAT MUCH ROPE BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT

SO I ASKED THEM “HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO AFFORD THAT MUCH ROPE?”

THEY REPLIED:

"GAUN AWAY FRAE ME YE ROPE MAD RADGE! AH'M GONNY NAB THE BIGGEST F*CKIN FISH ANYBODY'S EVER CLAPPED EYES ON!"

(English translation:

Leave me alone you rope-obsessed idiot! I’m going to catch the largest f*cking fish anybody have ever seen! Radge is the Scottish term for dangerous idiot)

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, SO I LEFT

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN BUYING THIS ROPE MORE OFTEN FROM MY ROPE DEALER BECAUSE I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY FURNITURE

AND BEFORE I WAS BANNED I BOUGHT A LOT OF THIS ROPE TO DECORATE MY FURNITURE BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART

I USED IT FOR MY RUGS, COASTERS, LAMPS, WALLS, PLANTS, TABLES, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE

SO I’VE BEEN REDECORATING MY NEW FURNITURE WITH MY ROPE

WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE FURNITURE WITHOUT ROPE IS VERY UGLY

I RATE THIS ROPE A

10/10

#Rope MF #kirby oc #waddle dee oc #The purple text is from me mint-terms&conditions #DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN ROPES WERE FIRST CREATED THEY WERE MADE OUT OF EITHER FLAX GRASS PAPYRUS LEATHER DATE PALMS OR ANIMAL FUR? #ROPES MADE OUT OF HEMP ONLY STARTED EXISTING 2800 B.J. (Before Jambastion) #I WISH I WAS ABLE TO COLLECT ROPES FROM THAT LONG AGO! #THAT WOULD MAKE ME A TRUE ROPE LOVER! #BANDANA WADDLE DEE CAME BY WITH OTHER WADDLE DEES TO HELP REBUILD MY HOUSE #BUT THEY BUILT IT ON THE GROUND #I DON’T KNOW HOW I AM SUPPOSED TO PUT THAT BACK UP IN THE TREE WHERE IT BELONGS #I TOLD THEM MANY TIMES THAT I IT USED TO BE A TREE HOUSE #BUT THEY COULDN’T HEAR ME! #THEY WERE TOO BUSY LISTENING TO MUSIC WITH THEIR HEADPHONES #NOW I NEED TO REBUILD MY HOUSE BY MYSELF AGAIN #I NEED TO DO IT QUICK BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO RAIN SOON AND SOME OF MY ROPES AREN’T WATER RESISTANT! #NONE OF MY ROPES DIDNT BURN IN THE FIRE BY THE WAY! #IF THEY DID I WOULD BE SAD

Fans: so, when are you going to give Sunspot/Roberto DaCosta more of his storyline? Like, are you going to accurately depict his blackness and how that impacts him?

Marvel Entertainment:

#tell me i'm wrong #u can't #marvel #marvel criticism #roberto da costa #sunspot #roberto sweetie im so sorry! #they continuously do you dirty time and time again by erasing or whitewashing your blackness #like if he isn't drawn shades paler than what his original debute was in comics #then he lacks any common black features that let's u know he's black (when not stated verbally) #i can't remember what issue it was but he was getting out of water and his hair was curly----SCREAM #but most of the time his hair is....they don't even try #and don't even get me started on the la movies casting bc they do him dirty anyway #x men 97 was decent but ive been hearing things and idk how they'll handle roberto's story 🤷🏾‍♀️ #like he is afro latino #the “afro” in afro latino means something (to many people) #anti marvel
