#my kind of dumb opinions

[indelicateink]

as an american, sam reid’s total inability to hide his contempt for overly fake-chipper american journalists, especially ones who Have Not Done The Assigned Reading know and care about the show, will never not be hilarious and iconic to me

#sometimes he can dial it back to civil blank apathy #but i have never laughed and cringed like that at the same time #sorry we’re so fake bro we’re just Like That #his frank tiredness with unoriginal or dumb questions is kinda refreshing #i think we first got it full-blast with It’s What’s Written In The Books last season #after 5K ‘why is it gay’ questions #but that latest Dish tv interview where the journo joked they thought he was dead holy fuck #defcon 1 levels of Done #it’s sort of fascinating since generally all celebrities play along with any interviewing atrocities they suffer though #american fakeism is the lowest bar to endure but the man is just a wall #lol don’t lose that sir #iwtv #interview with the vampire #okay no sorry this is my ted talk— #i mean he’s not alone frex some european actors in particular seem to pull out their best acting chops when #faced with shrilly chipper american interviewers #though sometimes you can catch the horror in their eyes #and hugh grant epically blanked that one effusive interviewer on the red carpet at the oscars the yr before last #and was almost assigned 40 lashes in the court of public opinion #(​until will smith sucked all the oxygen out of the room) #but sam reid is just full stop not going to reflect back. it’s…kind of awesome and not a little brave in this biz #anyway this has been my ted talk #saluting an icon 🫡

i just. hit s+ rank in splatoon and i never honestly thought this would happen?? am i cool now.. do i get to be a part of the s4? do i get to be watered down to my running joke all the time?

#the last part is a joke but i do not see a whole lot of recognition of the s4 being. the s4 #like yeah they were cool formidable foes in the s1 era and skull even beat goggles despite his plot armor #but now theyre just #there?? #dont get me wrong i love their existence but #it feels like theyve been watered down at least a bit #skull is always just getting lost and army is almost always either the manual guy or the curry guy #thats. thats it thats their bits #skull also has the sweets thing #rider is sometimes a considerable foe too but at the same time the s4 doesnt usually consist of him so im not sure how much to count him #that being said it is a kids manga so i dont really expect it to lean too far into the formidable foes thing #even the xblood werent that scary in the long run and ended up goofy despite being who they were #i also get it in terms of fandom #i understand the appeal of something like aloha being cutesy dumb pink guy (who maaaaaaybe commited some crimes and it shows) #i also definitely understand the appeal of army having a thing for curry as well as the manuals #the manuals can be an endearing thing to write about trust me #but i also wouldnt mind seeing more things that center around the likes of the s4 and the xblood and even the best8 being the absolute best #of the best during their prime #reminder that s+ was the highest rank around when the s4 were introduced. same with the xblood #they were the strongest players and id like to see things that center around that #id like to imagine that moving on to the square and splatsville that the s4 would have had a chance to move uo and get into xbattles #i think of all of them skull and army would have the highest chances of actually making it to xrank and being successful #but honestly if mask and aloha could probably make it pretty well too if they got off their asses #and i think rider would excel as well being rider #he has his own kind of near plot armour i think #so do most of the big teams in my opinion #theyre the sort of doomed by the plot that forces them to battle goggles at some point lmao #maybe i could use this in a fic or au one day #maybe someone already has... #(please send to me if you know of any creators who have played around with these vague ideas of strength i wanna see em)

i would never get baby fever or ever consider parenthood in a moment of maternal instinct. y'all stay safe out there though

#i conceptualize parenthood in a weird and controversial way due to never having wanted to have a baby in my life i think #i think it's actually kind of weird and warrants consideration that we tend to conceptualize parenthood as a RIGHT that the PARENT has #instead of like. a human person who just got made and who needs to be raised. #having a child for the sake of your own sense of self-fulfillment and accomplishment feels morally shaky to me. that's a Human Person #i really can't get my head around a reason someone would obsessively want a child (especially if they're insistent on genetic relation) #that isn't motivated by a desire to soothe ones own feelings OR to recruit into religion #OR to have custody and control of a vulnerable and malleable human being for 18 years #idk man i guess i just feel like parenthood is taken really fucking lightly by our culture #and i don't personally feel like 'i'm sad because i don't have a baby :(' is actually a very well-thought-out reason to have one #i know that to anyone with parenting instincts i sound like a heartless monster but these are my thoughts on the matter #every time someone has tried to refute me it has come from the perspective of 'everyone has a right' #which doesn't do anything for me #because i think it's dumb to frame this issue as 'who has the right to essentially own a person for 18 years' #WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK OF IT AS AN ISSUE OF RIGHTS FOR THE PARENTS 😭 I DON'T FUCKING GET IT !!!!! #to me that is VERY SIMILAR to saying 'well everyone has the right to have a girlfriend so we will get you a girlfriend at any costs' #and shows no regard for the potential girlfriend's status as a person who doesn't exist for the fulfillment of others #can we all agree that that's shady as fuck #why doesn't that same logic apply to children. i don't get it. i don't get it. i really really don't #and i don't think of the reasons people disagree with me as actually refuting any of these points. #anyway. that's my problematic opinion of the day

I HAVE A QUESTION, BSD FANS AND THEORISTS– (for manga readers only, for now)

This has been probably said before, but...

So we know how abilities dissipate when the user dies, right? In other words, the ability stops working when the soul has left the body, right?

And we also know that Stoker's ability can turn others into vampires, dead or alive. So basically, the ability will reanimate a dead person, while not imitating the original soul.

But the thing is, technically, if the ability-user was dead before being infected by Bram's ability, they would only have the effects of that ability, and not their own, because they're dead and don't have a soul. Right?

Right? We still have hope, right?

#this is me being the three Ds– ditzy. dumb. delusional. big emphasis on delusional. #akutagawa my baby how are you using your ability while being dead-possessed? #am i missing something? i dont know. y'all. be kind to me. i'm too tired to write more than this #and that i'm internally terrified of being judged for my poor opinion #and i know there's no way he could've survived that injury #but let me dream #akutagawa ryuunosuke #bsd #bungou stray dogs #dazai #bsd akutagawa #bram stoker #its 12 smth am now what am i even doing #bsd theory #i guess?

Captain Laserhawk be like

episodes 4-5:

episode 6:

#Captain Laserhawk #Captain Laserhawk: a Blood Dragon Remix #unironically kind of disappointed in this show #like maybe I'm dumb (TM) #but it feels like the first and second halves are so removed from each other #Idk I thought there were many fun things about it #and in all seriousness they pulled off “Show that utilizes as many Ubisoft IPs as possible” as well as they probably could have #but the only character who seems to experience an arc is Rayman #idk maybe I should watch it again and further develop my opinion #but truth be told I only finished the show in the first place due to the sunk cost fallacy #so I think I'll forego that

Love reading about Rasputin's death and seeing shit like "We have nooooo idea what hit Rasputin on the head" or some other detail like that that was absolutely mentioned in Felix’s memoirs.

Like I get that Felix’s memoirs aren't entirely reliable. Shit just happens that way. But you can't honestly tell me you have NO clue when the guy who did it says, "Oh yeah, it was a rubber bat, lmao." And doesn't have a reason to lie about it.

It's not definitive proof in any way, but that's still better than nothing.

I also love when folks give me the whole "I think the reason he talks about himself so much before the murder is to make you trust him even though hes a murderer" as if he's some kind of big-brained mastermind manipulator. This is Mr Felix "Purishkevich shot my dog" Yusupov. He has the persuasion of a kindergartener.

""That's exactly what he wants you to think.""

Honestly, idgaf if Lost Splendor is exaggerated or inaccurate. In my opinion, the accounts from there are pretty reasonable if you take out the rich layer of devoutly religious. Far better than any other adaptation I've seen.

But besides that it's funny. It's actually entertaining. It's well constructed.

It's biased, but there's something distinctly human about that.

It is a. Good. Book.

I think it’s important to remember in fandom that in your own fandom space you are allowed to be god, but never forget that you are also a little stupid.

#There's a freedom in going 'that's not true because I don't like it and we shall not have it in the foyer of my fine manse' #instead of trying to find justifications for stuff #that isn't to say you can't have reasons of course #but it's also really healthy i think to try and figure out if the reason is just justification you know? #Like I can stretch all kinds of mozzarella #but sometimes that's all I'm doing #I am not going to mention specific times I know I have done this because they are emabrassing to me and I don't have to #I call myself the god queen emporer arbiter of all that is good because it's true here but we all know (jesus christ I hope #when I say things so hyperdramatically. If ytou can't get this out of how I say it I can't help you.) that I'm being tongue in cheek #Often not always of course #wow great spelling of emperor you are a genius #anyway I've been thinking about this a lot but basically: You own your space but have perspective and don't go chasing the idea of having #your opinions crowned by others outside of your circle #if that makes sense #Also please all remember that at the end of the day this is all very stupid #.I'm being serious here 98 times out of 100 fandom fights are dumb as dogshit #yes even when I have participated in them please refer to my earlier never forget that you are also a little stupid

Trying to talk to someone irl abt Grima bc they're familiar with him and they're just being. So rude about him. It's making me very protective >:/

#like its not even about legit criticisms of things he's done. theyre just being straight up mean about him. #it feels dumb to say that its genuinely hurting my feelings but it kind of is djdjskh #I just love Grima so much and i see all of the world in him... I know that he's not a commonly liked character. #and that people are entitled to their opinions and interpretations of characters. #but... he doesn't deserve that. he doesnt deserve being talked to cruelly about. #at the very least not to my face when they clearly know how i feel about him > #it makes me sad. he deserves forgiveness. #rain rambles

may or may not get mobbed for this but i feel like the yellow guy age debate is too black & white ....... "4 year old or 40 year old, make your choice now" or we could . like . chill out

#like idk i like the idea of him being an adult who age regresses sometimss #my personal interpretation of canon is that his age either fluctuates or he was designed to be a child but kind of just. isnt #still childish but not a child #its dhmis. get jiggy with it. idk #AND YES I KNOW autistic character gets babied and all that i understand i really do #and the whole thing of yellow being red & duck's child gets shilled out so that dhmis fits the mold of funny haha silly found family #when its not really like that #not that they ARENT found family obviously #ironically it seems as if people feel the need to box them into a more traditional family dynamic #and it seems odd to me how people will defend the child theory so valiantly despite him having a wife n kids lol #and even weirder how people seem to think yellow wasnt happy with claire.. the whole Point was that he was happy #so yeah i think occasional agere yellow is a pretty cool compromise #(not forcing anyone to share this opinion but yk) #i Need him to use his childish whimsy against the very world that tells him hes a dumb kid. thatd be kickass #dhmis #yellow guy #i think what we should really be focusing on is duck being the youngest of the group. that's so funny to me #do we ever address how many people think duck is like 50 meanwhile he's like 30. well we Should #rambles

Men can be and often are victims...

That doesn't change the fact that Amber was abused by him . It could be mutual or more accurately it could be true that he was retaliating after her abuse but it could also be her relatiliation after HIS abuse . She won in the UK court for a reason.

So why are ao many people so proudly on the witch hunt ? Does calling her evil make people feel better about themselves

y’all are still on this? there’s no such thing as mutual abuse. someone started it and the other defended themselves. the UK case is bullshit because it was literally (1) person deciding, whereas here we have a full jury and each party gets to fairly represent their sides with as impartial people as possible. the UK’s system is really fucking stupid imo.

“men can be and often are victims” and “it could be true that he’s retaliating” explain it all already. you don’t even need to ask this. everyone here has already been through this conversation a million fucking times. if you disagree, fine, but it’s not my job to convince you who the abuser was. it’s the court’s job and that already happened.

#Asks #anonymoose #anti amber heard #I’m not answering anymore asks #my opinions on the trial and everything that happened #are already public #idk why you people are STILL trying to change everyone’s mind #or specifically mine #this kind of dumb af ask isn’t helping your case #and i feel like I’m just talking in circles #google is your friend #I am not

#having a day full of mixed feelings #I suppose this is how life goes #I'm officially done with my Bachelor's degree as of today #obviously I'm proud of myself for the accomplishment and I was excited to be celebrated today #it was a long and difficult road and there were many times where I didn't think I'd live to see it through but I made it #I'm the first person in my family to get this degree and I was really looking forward to having today be my day #I had a really lovely morning and then things kind of waned #there were a few arguments. someone I spent the day with repeatedly made negative comments about something I care about #it felt awful. I know it was intended as more of a playful jab than anything but I directly asked for the comments to stop and they didn't #it especially hurt that it was a fandom thing and the person is so invested in their own fandoms yet they felt it fair to step on mine #even though I've never done that to them #then people kept talking over me and acted like I was wrong for trying to interject to finish my own sentences #also as I said in the last post I was deeply upset by how my family members spoke of my 12 year old cousin #she's just a kid and some of our close family members have such a nasty opinion of her. she's so young and she's had a rough few years #but it seems like no one except my brother and I are willing to give her any grace #I think everyone else has forgotten what it feels like to be a kid and feel as if the world is against you #on a more positive note. I had a decadent slice of chocolate cake. it was heavenly #unfortunately I was really too in my head to fully enjoy it #literally every day for 3 weeks I've been talking about the lunch I planned to have today #I knew exactly what meal and dessert I wanted from the restaurant. it's my absolute fave and isn't available at any other local restaurant #I was totally starving by time we got to the restaurant. we were out all morning and I ate a tiny breakfast in anticipation of this meal #when we got there we found out they removed what I planned to order from the menu. I was devastated. #I know it's stupid but like this was the one part of my day that I've had planned for MONTHS and I've been thinking about it for weeks #we had a 40 minute car ride where I mentioned my excitement for the food no less than 10 times so this crushed me #also I'm just really picky in general and typically restaurants only have one or two things I'm able to eat #I offered to just eat the dessert while everyone else ordered food because they were all really hungry too but they wouldn't allow it #we left the restaurant and I still feel horrible for walking out. if I had known the item was removed we wouldn't have even gone there #it happened so recently though and I feel dumb for not even thinking to check the menu online beforehand #so we went to another restaurant and I barely ate anything and now I have no appetite for dinner and I feel bad for ruining the afternoon #even though it's my day and my celebration and I feel like I'm entitled to a slight amount of unreasonableness

okay my impression of the wednesday show & all the hype around it & the negative reaction to the hype: seems like a show made for younger teens but everyone is acting like it’s not a YA show

#tbh it’s crazy to me how many people have such strong opinions about it one way or the other #i mean it’s kind of a dumb way to adapt the addams family because they seem completely irrelevant to the plot #like it doesn’t really matter if the main character is wednesday addams or not? and it has a totally different premise #but also people acting like this is such a hugely different characterization of her than in other addams family media….. #or saying wednesday was never a well-liked character before this….. idk. untrue imo #90s wednesday was very similar and a lot of people grew up watching those movies #but anyway i would watch anything jenna ortega was in so. whatever #kind of a waste of time? but not in a bad way i guess #it was cute i liked some of the characters #too tim burton-y for my taste but w/e #wednesday netflix

What would Val be like as a friend?

he looks out for people :) only so much of it is programming, he cares about people so much, more than anyone else in his unit did - even if he acts like he's only hanging around out of obligation or convenience. so you can imagine it's hard being friends with so many folks who do such dangerous work for a living, but he says those are the kinds of people who need someone to lean on most of all. he hates feeling unappreciated, and he'll give you a verbal beating if you need sense knocked into you, but no matter what happens his clinic doors are always open to you

also he's generally very quirky and sillygoofy, he is not a robot who tries to humanize himself. he is strange, and he thinks everyone Else is the strange one.

#val #robots #ask #galacticpan #static sky #its 4am i am thinking about mr val thsi morning and picking out another random ask about him to answer #what a strange fellow. he's one of my favorites #he hates when tessa gets hurt or dies. even though she literally... Grows Back. and wakes up. please stop getting hurt :( #and he's always giving Davis second opinions on his cybernetics; as a robot himself he thinks he can help see if anything's not quite right #he always checks nisha's harnesses and equipment before she goes on a dome repair run. she is crawling around on the sky #and that is a HELL of a distance to fall. why does a robot have chronic anxiety what kind of 'Feature' is this #he can help people. he's built to help people. he wants to help people. so if you're someone he calls his friend he is going to do #as much as he can to help you even in spite of his busy schedule and his grumpy 'i dont care' attitude #but when push comes to shove. you get to see his big dumb stupid heart #-- metaphorically that is. sorry did he leave one sitting out somewhere? that needs to be in storage #god i wish i had the energy to make comics i NEED TO SHOW OFF MY FUNNY LITTLE GUYS but i am SO TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #throws crumbs onto the internet instead

the switch up on barbie is so strange to me, the same people who were all going to the cinema to see it & proclaiming it film of the year are now all the same people slating it

#nobody is obliged to like it but it genuinely is not a bad film & was well made #yeah the feminism was kind of surface level but the people who made it never once claimed the message or rhetoric was never before done #it was a small minority of people but even that doesn’t make it bad #of course they could’ve went deeper but to make it accessible to all people of all age groups it well still well executed in my opinion #but regardless of all this it was not a bad film was very fun so it’s confusing how everyone now is hating it #it’s like everyone became sheep #the way people are now writing it off as ‘oh just a dumb movie about a doll’ like hmmm #okay jo koy calm down lmao
