AU where Loki gets banished for Thor/Warriors 4 going to Jotunheim and he just settles down on Earth. Copes with the blue arm by ignoring it completely since he's been disowned and dumped on Earth anyway. There's probably a way to 'prove himself worthy' and 'get back to Asgard' but he never bothers with it.

#years later Thor uses it like a getaway home #which would annoy Loki more if he didn't decide not to care about everything already #Thor running off to him after arguing with their father over some petty thing and asking if he can stay over a while #basically staying over at his bro's house bc his bro moved out and is far away now #Odin never restricted Thor from visits but is getting impatient about Loki returning #Odin was waiting for Loki to get back to promote Thor to king #but Loki has no intention to do that and when Odin realises this he blows a gasket #no wonder Thor's always pouting and dragging his feet around the palace #no brother his friends don't fare perfectly fine on quests anymore and his father delayed his coronation for the foreseeable future #smh #at least Loki's place has video games

Every year there is a Grand Prix weekend where Pierre and Charles fuck nasty the entire time and simply cannot keep it behind closed doors and make it everyone else’s problem.

#I just know they got off on watching that video of them arguing with each other over a YouTubers game for 45 minutes #and this was the result #pierre/charles #literally who is doing it like them

the hate towards amber in the invincible tv show is wild honestly because other than that one line (the one where she reveals she knew mark was a superhero) that was a slight fumble on the part of the show runners, she’s actually really excellent and excels at her narrative role compared to her comic counterpart who is just kind of there to be a placeholder date before mark gets with eve.

i admit that line was kinda poorly set up and could’ve been written better (like maybe her instead saying “ugh i expected it but that doesn’t excuse the way you treat me”) but like. Really? did that negate every single thing her character stood for prior to this point? how amber is actually really good for putting up with his bullshit for so long even after he flaked out on dinner with her parents? how she put mark in his place for thinking he could get away with neglecting his relationships just because he’s a hero? how it showed that he’s acting just like how nolan treats debbie? did One single line, said during a moment of anger and frustration, change all of that?

her character is a great parallel between mark and his dad in s1 and is even better in s2 at showing how mark physically can’t live a normal life no matter how much he wants to. like we know amber isn’t endgame and that’s what hurts a lot. they want to be normal college kids going through their awkward teen years together but i guess that one slightly weak line of dialogue made her character “terrible” and “ruin mark.” also even setting aside the myriad of… Other biases, a lot of people just seem to forget the fact that she’s a teenage girl sooooooooooo

(also i’m thinking about this one comment i saw on youtube where someone was like “i didn’t watch that scene initially so i didn’t understand the hate but after i watched it i hate her as well” and. seriously. are you being so serious right now.)

anyway i’m an amber defender to my death she’s amazing in the show and deserves nice things. if you are a video analyst who actually sees her as a normal character instead of calling her “the other woman” you immediately gain my respect

#this post was sponsored by me watching an analysis video that immediately opened with amber slander #people are acting like amber was getting mad at mark for saving people but she was mad at him for #lying to her for months and brushing it off like nothing just because he’s a superhero #my literary analysis game isn’t that strong but even i managed to see that come on guys #also tangentially related but i REALLY hate the ‘how one line changed X’ thing like no one like will change anything it’s all about buildup #there are lots of incredible one line changers in the show but arguably this one was just. not thought out well from a meta level #amazon invincible #invincible #kiwi’s calls #if you beef with me in the comments it’s a block sorry i don’t feel like arguing over this

Been seein some rather cold takes about Daisy lately…

I’ve seen some people say that she has no personality outside of fanon, but that’s just not true. There is a very very common misconception among the fandom (at least that I’ve noticed) that if a character doesn’t appear in a “mainline” game, then they have no personality. But I’d argue that the spinoffs actually offer waaaaay more in terms of looking into character personalities. And no, I’m not talking about the RPGs ala M&L and Paper Mario as those are obviously full of personality (and Daisy isn’t in those). I’m talking about the Party, Kart, Tennis, and other sports games.

Yes, Daisy hasn’t appeared in any mainline game since her debut, but she’s been in nearly every sports game and her traits, stats, abilities, victory/loss animations, and various other tiny details add up to her personality. The fact that she’s nearly always yelling or just speaking really loud in general (noticeably more than any other character), the fact that she constantly feels a need to say her name and make herself known, how she loves flowers and considers even a small patch of flowers worth protecting, how she’s easily bored by tasks that don’t excite her and isn’t so reliable for them. She tends to jump around a lot, and spin and dance around when she’s excited! She’s apparently a rather fast runner and that is considered her specialty! These are all traits that are displayed in the spinoffs, and there’s probably soooo many more that I just can’t remember right now.

Now, I do think her tomboyish nature is probably fanon, as I don’t really remember seeing anything to show that she acts that way in the games. I think people probably think she’s tomboyish due to how loud and energetic she is. But hey, there’s plenty of fanon for just about any character from any fandom out there. And what’s so wrong with that? Isn’t the whole point of making fanworks to expand on the framework already provided by canon? If we want to stick to what’s actually “canon” then nearly everything the fandom has created would have to be tossed, because there really isn’t much to work with. Fanworks and fandoms thrive on what fans can create based on the canon work, not just sticking to it perfectly.

It’s fine if you think the “fanon” Daisy outshines the “canon” Daisy and you dislike that. But to say that she has no personality aside from fanon interpretations just tells me that you have a very narrow idea of what counts as “canon” in an already rather simplistic world. The Mario games are very simple and straightforward without much consistent lore that actually makes sense cohesively, but the characters are what keep everything tied together despite that. The characters are nearly always consistent, and that includes Daisy. Even when the setting is completely different and some random new villain shows up with some random new power source to steal or species to torment, our same well-known lovable characters will be the center of the story and that’s what makes it fun!

#devin speaks #super mario bros #princess daisy #i mightve gotten a bit too personal with my views of canon vs fanon but i still think it needs to be said #people who argue over what is considered canon in a video game series are so funny to me #especially a series like mario that has expanded soooo far from its original premise #its different than a show or movie since most shows will finish their main story before delving into spinoffs #most of the mainline games are literally just bowser kidnapped the princess and mario has to save her #very few of them offer any insight to personality of anyone #that isn’t to say theres none at all but i still think the party kart and sports games offer waaay more #of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if you dislike daisy or think shes boring then whatever you do you #i am simply sharing my opinion as well :) #sorry time to be salty real quick #literally the entirety of waluigis personality comes from the spin offs but no one talks about him??? #he is literally in the same boat as daisy but i never see anyone saying they dislike him for his ‘fanon personality’ #really makes you think #people rag on peach for ‘having no personality’ too but hers shines through the spinoffs as well #and even the rpgs!! shes actually in those and has multiple voicelines and cutscenes and people *still* say she has no personality! #i know this is about daisy but gosh mario ladies in general are treated rather poorly unless theyre eye candy #im glad rosie debuted in a mainline game with a clearly given backstory spoon fed to the player so she doesnt get this treatment lol

eso PTS gold road "spoilers" except its just about the furniture

BEE HIVES and HONEY JARS. ive had a cobbled-together beehive in one of my houses for years i cannot WAIT to swap it out for a 'real' one

CHEESES!!! a part of me instantly expects sheogorath to make an appearance of course, but even if he doesnt...CHEESES

vineyards and GRAPES!! that arent awful and so tinysmall you can barely see them like the base game ones! and wine bottles and all that stuff!! we can FINALLY put those alinor grape stomping tubs to good use

the ONLY THING i feel they SHOULD have added with all these, something that would have been perfectly thematically in line with all of the above....apple trees. which ive been asking for years now. but no such luck this time around

#eso #eso pts #gold road #eso gold road #eso spoilers #gold road spoilers #not Actually spoilers but taggin jic #i did not particularly enjoy either of the houses on the pts but honestly thats just a good thing. i have over 40 houses in the game alrdy #also they should give us cows as furnishings. not as mounts just as furnishings #ik you could argue that all those sheep pets and goat mounts are where the cheeses come from but. cmon. really. #<- the voice of a person whos been spoiled by skyrims creation kit re: housing in video games. lmao #anyway. eso furniture 'hearth' category my most extremely belovedest

i was gonna reblog a long winded thing about fandom with my own long winded tags but you know what it's a lot easier to just say: fandom is a capitalist commodity and there's nothing wrong with being engaged with it or finding some joy in it but in my experience as someone that used to be involved with huge fandoms during their heyday it's a lot easier and more fun to just have a small circle of friends + have a couple of hobbies or passions outside of fandom + engage with media at your own pace + talk about and engage with "dead" or "out of date" media that speaks to you or scratches a particular itch + start on something creative and original on your own or with your friends that you can actually theorize, and collaborate on together + live deliciously

#nothing better than talking about original characters or original stories in progress over wine or card games with your friends and getting #A Little Bit Too Into IT #much more satisfying and better use of my time than arguing with someone who Thinks They Got what a story was about #or coloring within the lines of a pre-existing character through fanfiction #or seeing the same characters over and over again in different poses and colors through fan art #i mean dont get me wrong i love all that stuff at different times but idk once you drink the #Cry With Your Friends About How Your Characters Trust Each Other And Share Their Anguish juice its really hard to go back #the doctor is in #not plague #i will also say these things are also the reason why im not as active on tumblr anymore for the last couple years im thriving #also recieving a gift of art or writing about your creation from a friend is 1000x more meaningful memorable and important than #having an endless stream of free fan art by people on the internet of your TV show or video game blorbo BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION

i have no idea how sam and cat part 2 is gonna b over 10 hours by the way without feeling a little bit bloated as hell

#like in victorious part 2 imo the slap intermission (WHICH IS 2 FUCKING HOURS BTW LONGER THEN ANY OF THE SEASON OVERVIEWS feels bad and #bloated and not fucking worth it like it shouldve been a quicker overview like icarly.com from the icarly vids and im worried theres gonna #be another 2 hour segment going over the fuckin little sam and cat show #im sure people who fuckin hate these videos argue theyre already bloated as hell but i like em so #hopefully idk that run time is like. properly giving time and background n respect to what happened to jenette #ashen.rambles #^LIKE you can just feel with each video him explaining in depth more and more shit #icarly seasons 1 and 2 were just. highlight episodes. general arcs #3-6 were episode by episode with a general overview of the supplementary stuff #then victorious had an indepth explanation of the fuckin. games and the slap #and then sam and cat gets really far into the nsu shit & other shows like gameshakers n henry danger that hes already expressed he does not #care about #JUST LIKE. pull back a little. trim the fat

So I found out that one of the streamers who was bullied for wanting to play hogwarts legacy was Pikamee, my favorite vtuber. She was harassed to the point of logging off and now she hasn’t come back for several weeks. And I want to talk about this because it made me realize something.

First, I myself am a closeted trans woman, so I have every reason to take trans rights issues seriously, and I do. I despise jk rowling and I share most people’s objections to hogwarts legacy. It upsets me how many people will still defend her and Harry Potter as a franchise.

Second, I really like Pikamee and still do. She’s a sweetheart and has always been inoffensive. She’s also half Japanese, living in Japan. I have no read on the Japanese trans community with regard to how they feel about hogwarts legacy, Harry Potter, or jk rowling. While I doubt they like rowling, my ignorance of Japanese lgbtq+ priorities gives me pause—it’s very possible that the problems with hogwarts legacy are lesser known or prioritized there, because of different concerns of different urgencies, and perhaps different cultural values at play. Pikamee is historically very careful not to offend her viewers, and because of the different situation in Japan, she may not have seen much or understood the issues surrounding the game—and I highly doubt the most vocal people bullying her were explaining them to her kindly, and we probably not her fanbase. I think that’s unfair. It highlights once again the extremely western and white-anglo priority of people’s objections—that what white anglos care about is objectively the most important and not up for debate, because it affects us. (Another example is how “Sirona,” a traditionally feminine and non-English name, that is not even pronounced as “sir” but “see-roh-nah” has been taken by this site to be a blatant instance of transphobia.) This all strikes me like we’ve decided that playing hogwarts legacy is against the Trans Commandments, and if you play it you’re sinning, no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your situation is. I think it’s rigid and unfair in a moralist sense, and is quite similar to how religious people harass non-believers.

Next, a valid point is that “people were mean to me for playing a video game” and “people won’t listen to us and our lives are at stake” are of course not equivalent situations. The latter is far more serious and urgent than the former. So how could I compare this scenario to religious moralist harassment when the harm they cause is not even remotely equivalent? Well, for one thing I think it’s the methodology that’s similar and not the effects—I think the moralist attitude is a holdover from western Christian rigidity, and is morally problematic.

For another thing, and this is my most important point, the awareness that we are trying to raise hasn’t provided us any material benefit whatsoever. Our material situation hasn’t improved at all. More and more anti-trans legislation gets passed, jk rowling is still rich as sin, transphobes are still harassing us; the systemic forces keeping us down and oppressing us are no weaker than they were before. But hey at least we stopped a sweet Japanese girl from playing an offensive video game, right? We did it, reddit tumblr! But actually nothing has changed (except maybe now MORE people hate us??), our lot has not improved, no one has listened to us, and transphobes celebrate hogwarts legacy because they know we hate it. Is this the victory we were hoping for? Was our conquest worth it? Did our online inquisition root out all the sin in those nasty streamers? Did we finally prove once and for all that consuming certain pieces of media is inherently immoral?

I’m over it. People can play the goddamn wizard game if they want and I’m not going to give them shit for it. Instead I’m going to put my transgressive energies to good use somewhere else. An online utopia where everyone follows all the made-up moral rules still doesn’t put food in my fucking mouth when no job will hire me because I’m trans. Fuck this.
