see normally i try to avoid and dislike using "they're ooc" as a criticism bc it's been historically used to flatten out a character's flaws. i want to use any possible in universe route to explain what's going on regardless of whether it aligns w authorial intent or not. anyway i think ten is ooc in girl in the fireplace

#this is not the case with ANY other episodes of his whole entire run because with stuff i have issues with #i can come up with concepts that might not have been intended by the writer but are genuinely interesting to me otherwise #gitf is irredeemable. throw it in the garbage. ten would not do that. #mx tenth 'born out of love driven mad by love lives and dies by love' doctor. WOULD not do that. gbless. #this freak sticks by rose's side like glue until he can't anymore and you're telling me hed leave her on a ship #to live life 'on the slow path' with a random rich girl he JUST met in fucking 17th century france. explode #dr who #i'm making this post on my tumblr bc i don't want to keep getting into fights over this again lol #10 era

related note i love it when characters are so repressed that they don't even realise they have problems disorder while literally everyone around them is like "i am literally begging you to go to therapy"

#be shh now #i don't mean characters who are like 'something is wrong but i don't need to go to therapy because i'm brave' #i mean characters who are earnestly like 'me? i've never had a problem in my life!' while standing in an on-fire garbage can #shiv roy. if anyone cared enough about her to make her go to therapy

I forgot we get a slutty costume change from our Dream Visitor in Act Two. Thicc eldritch tiefling daddy gets to show us his tits and his thighs.

I think the cult of personality around Taylor Swift is awesome (in the biblical, horror way), but I think the countercultural desire to pretend all her music is unlistenable garbage is like, not equally horrifying, but certainly more annoying if only because it's fake AND mean

#Like. come on y'all. begrudingly hand her the W of making listenable pop music you can do it bb I believe in you #you don't even have to like it! But it's not like. garbage. #Also 14 year olds needed Teardrops on my Guitar ok how else could they handle being 14

re: my last post, but I kind of have a good serving of criticism in my heart about the whole "gerudos as men r*pists*" trope that I've seen bouncing around in fandom since like 2008 at least (and before that I assume), but it's. not a particularly fun topic. so.

#thoughts #cw rape #gerudos #let's just say that #if we do need to go there #(and we Do Not need to go there particularly) #let's say this whole debacle ignores *a lot* of canon content that suggests where the power balance may actually lie #if it does lie anywhere #also the sexually aggressive/domineering brown people trope as another tool of dehumanization is not. yea #but idk I think it's an interesting takeaway to cultivate in the context of the overwhelming examples of #*hylians* being the ones to repeatedly overstep gerudo boundaries #gerudos don't capture men *men try to break in gerudo homes and get arrested* that's a pretty significant difference you guys #if gerudos were so aggressive about it wouldn't men rather be the ones to run away? #why are we keeping them out in the first place etc #anyway weird trope supported by almost nothing and often enabling VERY unhinged racist comments from its fanbase on the regular #can we talk about how the brown race is uncritically characterized as rapists --either ganondorf or his people #in spite of there being basically zero evidence anywhere in the games that this might be the case??? why is this an assumption we're making #idk man people be having weird hangups about all of this #also yeah sure the strong independant women has *got* to be man eaters that treat them like disposable garbage #and like #my dear Men of the Internet #maybe try to fix your anxieties surrounding women being self-sufficient and independant instead of projecting like crazy idk something #sorry the post is Unfun but it's been bothering me since forever #I remember being thirteen and reading a fic with this trope for the first time and being So Scandalized haha #but yeah I've been chewing on the thought ever since so here you go

honestly my real opinion on ai is not even from an ethical standpoint. my opinion on ai is that because it isn't actually artificial intelligence that is a misnomer it's not intelligent and it doesn't think it is therefore just plain not good at most of what we're currently using it for outside of like hyperspecific applications that i know nothing about and never will. it simply can't do the job man.

#jack facts #and this isn't an argument about what constitutes ''real'' art either it's about technical skill #the ability to self correct; improve; make requested changes; do something that hasn't already been done before or do it in a new way; etc #it just. it can't do it. it can't do the job. #and like laymen using it to make fanart or oc art or whatever like i don't really care that much #like i absolutely think you're tacky and a big whiner and i don't respect you but i don't think you're A Bad Person #unless you're dishonest about it and trying to pass off ai as self-made in which case you're the same as someone who reposts imo #but like as far as like industry ai. like the ethics of usage are complicated but i honestly don't care because the stuff is garbage anyway #whether it's ''art'' or not it will never be skillful and it will never innovate. it is low quality and it is boring. #it can't not be low quality and boring. skilled and interesting are literally beyond its parameters that's just the facts. #so truly there is absolutely no point in using it for anything that requires skill or interest. #or like. representing concepts. expressing an idea etc. those things can't be replicated only shapes/color/letters can. #which is honestly part of the reason why i don't even have any interest in caring more about the ethical aspect #it's not going to last for very long because it doesn't work. it just doesn't work! it can't do that! #anyway. #reading process #writing process #soc

I sincerely hope Gotham War becomes DC's Spider-Man: One More Day.

In that everyone agrees it was a fucking stupid idea, it is quietly retconned into oblivion and when after years somebody brings it up the only reaction is

#gotham war #dc comics #dc batman #batman #holy shit this arc was bad #petition to never let tini howard and chip zdarsky write anything for the batfam ever again #their version of bruce wayne can sincerely die in a fire #wtf was up with that whole evil split-personality stuff #don't even get me started on what they had bruce do to jason and damian #good god just talking about this garbage fest makes me want to take a shower #oh and they ruined selina kyle too #also fridged her

Listen. I keep seeing this on tiktok. "Don't use hiss as a dialogue tag, it's a human being, we don't hiss" or "If there isn't an S in the word at the end of dialogue, don't use the word hiss" and let me just say I WILL CONTINUE TO USE HISS TO MEAN QUIETLY BUT AGGRESSIVELY SPEAKING AND YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND

#I got this ask about writing tips and here is what I do #Writing tips!!!! #Can I just say #I literally hate other people giving writing tips #And I don't mean #I mean unsolicited catch-all advice that people think are hard stop rules for writing #There are no hard stop rules for writing creatively #If it makes sense then use the word you want!! #Then again #Technically speaking #I'm probably a garbage writer #So idk don't take advice from me actually #But I just hate seeing these things and then being made to feel like I'm a shit writer because I do them #I'm sure I can't be the only one who uses hiss to mean aggressively quiet lol

MGSV really is *so* misogynistic it is honestly hard to believe. It has ONE named female character, just one. And holy shit, the things they make that single woman do.

I don't know what happened. Or how Kojima thought what we was doing was defensible.

I could just link to the introduction of the SKULL snipers from Mission 28 Code Talker but even that I feel is so unbelievable to see with your own eyes that it would exit the mind as soon as it stopped playing.

Literally every criticism made during that era toward's this game is accurate. Every single one.

It might legit be the WORST example of "male gaze," literally literally ever. Out of everything.

If MGSV had outright no women in it whatsoever it would be better than what this is.

The cutscene for when Big Boss comes to Mother Base after not showering was what sealed it for me.

And the fact that there were people back then who thought they could defend this perhaps makes it even more deranged.

#mgsv #completely incoherent post #I love love love playing this game but holy shit #It is fucking unbearable. #Play it on your computer with the mod 'Take Me of the Grid + No More Timers + Free Deployment' installed #The game is legitimately hot garbage without it. #what the fuck happened to result in the difference between how woman are treated in this game and then... Death Stranding????? #Wtf??????? #its inexplicable #Kojima; as skilled a designer and director as he certainly is #is absolutely also a misogynist #I think MGSV is the hard fucking proof frankly #You can't make this. AND whine about how people refused to like it. That shit definitely counts augh my god #still a completely incoherent post #aough #i cant even put the words together #the actual moment to moment core gameplay is so fun its ridiculous #but oh my god everything else is SO so bad #how can I even like it? #I don't know. I do. but somehow maybe I should not ldjfjskjfsjkdf #dfjkbgjkdbflglbksbkfgbjkdsfbgbdfgbkjbjkdfbjkg #and it's still stupid as hell that you can't fulton yourself like you do in Peace Walker. Literally just to make you waste more GMP #to force you to depend on the online features. Which gives you millions of GMP at the drop of a hat #Evil game

I feel so fucking dead inside over this recent WoW fuckery but I have to say, going from the WoW mutual to the Squeenix mutual is not the direction I expected things to go

#like square is hardly flawless itself but at least i get some variety #and stuff that's easier to revisit without having new lore shoved in your face as the new absolute canon #because it's all relatively self contained #we don't talk about KH3 focus #the point is there's no linear yet ever shifting universe like the garbage fire that's been burning in the Blizzard launcher #for WELL over a decade #i can go play any which game i like and just leave it at that #WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE VII REMAKES I SAID FOCUS #i don't even know where I'm going with this i guess square has several games i enjoy and they make me happy #as opposed to getting hurt with every little development in the piece of shit blizzard MMO #HUUUUGHHJHJJJJ #vent

#random personal stuff #personal whining ahead feel free to ignore #it's sinking in that the increase in the displaying of these 'jokes' at work is related to our boss no longer being here #it can't have been a coincidence that the picture in the inbox went back on top the very day we threw her her goodbye party #apparently this man thinks that she was the one who was pushing back against the nonsense? #and maybe she was - I don't know what went on between them #(though I always got the impression that she seemed a bit afraid of him for whatever reason and just let him do whatever most of the time) #but I'm tired of having to put up with this and angry at the situation in general #and I really will go and talk with the VP of Academic Affairs once I can get some advice from my communications major friend #so I can avoid just walking into her office and exploding #(I don't understand this I don't understand why he feels the need to display these images in the office & always about this now-completely- #irrelevant topic and even if it were relevant the 'jokes' are juvenile and mean-spirited and I know he thinks he's doing the Lord's work in #picking the kinds of books that he does but tell me exactly how this garbage is the Lord's work and what he thinks he's accomplishing with #this other than making himself look petty and giving me further cause for frustration because it isn't just the stupid pictures it's the #pervasive attitude behind them that I have had to deal with for years now and I wish I were a different person so I could get right in his #face and tell him that this is unacceptable and expect to be heard and regarded)

one thing about me is i fucking hate making new accounts

#ramblings with major #cursing #fighting for my life trying to look into a *shudders* dating app #recent reviews are garbage there's a subscription model that allegedly gets pop ups constantly on the app #and also the support section on their site is kinda also garbage #like i'd like to know about this feature. Without Having To Make An Account To Find Out What It Does #ESPECIALLY if i apparently have to PAY FOR IT FIRST #'what does this feature do' 'vague positive things :) also it costs money :) enjoy!!' #like bro. can i figure out what things are before you direct me to a part of The App I Haven't Downloaded Yet and go 'good luck!!' #anyway i am. struggling. <3 #i don't even have PHONE SPACE can i get a good WEBSITE INSTEAD #so i don't have to DOWNLOAD ANYTHING

look to each their own but I think it's just a bit odd in fanfics where like herbert has a complete personality change and is suddenly like "uwu, i'm actually really emotional and vulnerable and like such a virgin what's a kiss?" and like it's weird for a couple of reasons but honestly I find it a bit sus that this is done to the commonly perceived trans masc character

#it just feels a bit infantilizing you know #like the only way some people can make that head cannon work is if they feminize him #and like yes he IS actually really emotional and vulnerable you're right! #but in a bastard way #you think herbert 'garbage to garbage' and 'damn the bitch' west is going to suddenly start blushing and crying his eyes out #no i don't read these fanfics so it doesn't affect me #i don't like comment on these fics critiquing them #that's why i'm writing it here #reanimator #herbert #herbert west
