"The colonial practice of zionism..." you know, if you don't even know the basic FACT that jews come from Judea and therefore cannot be colonizers in their own land, then maybe you shouldn't be speaking about things you neither know nor understand? Only two words into a sentence and you're already wrong. Truly, every day you absolute uneducated baffoons on here and twitter are just continuously proving that before the age of internet only your family knew you were a fool

#can we go back to when there was no internet and we didn't know how many stupid people there were in the world? #that was nice #this makes me so angry #you don't NEED to retcon history #and goyim should fucking stop goysplaining our history and culture to us #antisemitism #useful idiots #jumblr #goyim shut up challenge

As a big sibling with a lil sib with epilepsy, when they read TBC they Honestly thought if they got struck with lightning reciting the lord's prayer they'd be cured like Shadowsight is from their epilepsy. I had a discussion with them on how that's not how it works, but ge was so upset they took it away from Shadowsight that he hasn't picked the books back up and has stated that 'he hopes Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.,'

I do not even know how to respond to this besides saying that your little sibling is 100% right to be pissed and I now also hope Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.

#Legit I did not know that Shadow's epilepsy being taken away was so deeply upsetting to SO MANY people #I put it back because putting it back was just the right thing to do (even asked the small following I had at the time what type to portray #(they picked the full tonic-clonics. I would have just done localized or absence if they'd asked me to) #And I did all that research for one single anon who asked for an epilepsy herb guide #So holy cow I didn't know that SO MANY people were snubbed and upset by canon's choice to do that. I'm so sorry #Your little sib isn't missing anything btw they do just go on to confirm that Shadow no longer has seizures. #In book 4 of TBC they say that it was all Ash all along and that's what they've stuck with into ASC #I'm sitting on an essay about... That plot thread. The Ashfur Grooming one #But it's in my drafts because I was a bit afraid of controversy #because i think it was written poorly. Even on top of Book 4's pivot to retcon away Shadow's seizures #I know a lot of people like and are invested in the grooming subplot of TBC. But. I think it was executed AWFULLY #and its really telling that THIS is the plot they tout as grooming *by name* in-canon.-- #--and that Shadow has to 'pay' for what he 'did' in some way as if there was ever a choice in the books they wrote-- #--But seemingly didn't even seem to clock that what was happening in Spotted's H was grooming until there was intense backlash #and a big part of my contention is the way that Book 4 suddenly tries to retcon that Shadow was groomed from the time he was a child #when it was actually part of book 1 that Shadow was able to personally tell the difference between a real vision and Ash's suggestions-- #--BECAUSE he didn't have an accompanying seizure #So like... just know it's also NOT just 'you' if you connected to the character that was epileptic. It WAS there. It was a BIG part of him #Book 4 retconned it so that his epilepsy was part of a long scheme when before that point it was part of him #''ohh ur destiny is to see into the shadows'' BULL SHIT!! #bone babble

She was the only thing I was living for. I’m sorry for your loss, sir, but right now we need to get you airborne. Police will be here any minute. I’m well aware of that. I’m turning myself in.

#it's wild how they were actually doing some interesting character work with lex in the beginning of s7 #('I wasn't miraculously saved so I could run away from my demons. I was brought back to face them' etc etc) #only for them to just go 'nah' midway through and toss out all nuance and complexity in favor of a million veritas-related retcons 🙃 #not sure if that's because of the writers strike or just this show's usual incompetence but it's a real shame either way #anyway I really liked this plot/scene #lex didn't kill lana but he knows he fucked up in a multitude of other ways in his relationship with her #so he's willing to be punished for a crime he didn't commit bc he doesn't know how else to make up for what he's done #(also him keeping the cute photo of them folded up in his pocket is so heart-achingly sweet I actually can't take it) #smallville #smallvilleedit #svedit #lex luthor #lexana #dcmultiverse #sv 7x01 #my gifs #god this gifset has been languishing in my drafts since *checks* FEBRUARY?!?! jfc... #I guess it's a good thing I have so many unposted sets saved since I don't actually have time to make new gifs for the next few months #but still. lol

Um, hi.

I sent you one, but want to know this one too.

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

Ooooh my most unpopular opinion is probably the Wilhelm decided to give up the crown for himself. (Don't hate me 🙈)

I actually think they laid the foundations for this well but it jumped from from foundation to roof with no walls supporting it in between. We have multiple moments of Wille demonstrating lack of control and opinion on his own life (no tattoos, his hair*, charity selection picked out for him etc). It never occurs to him he can give up rowing until Simon suggests it and when he does, he takes up singing, which he doesn't like, to hear Simon sing (I won't lie I fucking melted at this tho it was so cute). But outside of Simon, Wille doesn't know what he wants and doesn't show much interest in figuring it out. All he wants is Simon and he centers his life around this.

I know many will say giving up his role is the first step in learning about himself and what he wants but that already happened in S2. In S2 he was already prepared to give up the crown for Simon so S3 should have continued to develop on him learning about himself, understanding his privilege and what he actually wants from life outside Simon. The letter to your future self was a missed opportunity imo.

*bonus unpopular (or silly) opinion is this line annoys me an unreasonable amount cause it's just not true. He says he can't cut his hair shorter than this but we literally see Erik with shorter hair?? and Wilhelm would have had to cut it shorter when he joined the military?? Like all they had to say was something like same reason I can't dye my hair weird colours! Why did they choose a line that's simply not true??

#thanks for the ask! #i promise i don't hate s3 but there were so many bits of potential i felt they wasted #August's letter was a retcon and didn't make sense to his character and it would have been a much better plot device for Wilhelm #yr s3 #young royals #ask game

If there is any better real-life example of a monkey's paw wish than the entire existence of Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate + Megamind Rules, vs. what society was like before it was announced when everyone was begging for a Megamind sequel, then I am yet to have seen it, and my viewing experience of the former makes me doubt I'll ever see one like that again.

#megamind #megamind vs the doom syndicate #megamind rules #dreamworks #Somebody roll that one Simpson's clip #this film was legitimately garbage #I'm not even kidding when I say that some of Disney's worst direct-to-video sequels have more integrity than this flick #The animation was nightmare fuel the acting was horrible and there are so many retcons #I find it hilarious yet sad we were all on the bandwagon of wanting a Megamind 2 only to get this #It was uncomfortable enough watching the movie I'm definitely not getting into the show

anyway i think it would be crazy insane if when they find the eggs they find wilbur in there with them. just food for thought

#eleanor.txt #qsmp #i know how unlikely it is bc they’re not huge on retconning i don’t think. goes against the ‘yes and’ vibes #could pull off a ‘feds stole him from tour’ narrative #jaiden n cellbit (i think) were joking abt the feds meddling n i support it! i do!! i like that narrative more! #there’s just. there’s so many possibilities for an alternative narrative here #i can elaborate on the meta of it all if asked i just don’t actually care for formulating my thoughts on it unprompted #cc and qwilbur both benefit from this concept #it’s also copium bc i want the eggs back and i want them back this month #only loss is wilbur tallulah live reunion but could be rectified by. putting them in different cells or something idk #this has been sitting in my drafts but etoiles just mentioned wilbur so what better time than now

Sony marvel movies are inherently better than disney marvel movies because Sony makes films, not brand commercials.

#g talks #that and they actually hire people #who enjoy and understand the material #and don’t view that as some kind of red flag #‘but morbius!!’ disney literally made a show with an ai generated opening sequence #sit the fuck down #I’d rather the movie end up being objectively bad #than the movie start bad bc of the people working on it #like get me a good crew and I’ll still appreciate the project #for what it was #but the marvels trailer felt like some kind of joke #when marvel movies were meant to be taken seriously #the mcu was actually good #it had its flaws obviously #but we had a chance #now they’re purposely hiring people who don’t care about the material #and making so many mistakes they’ve retconned their own timeline multiple times #and only brought in the multi verse for covering up their lack of continuity #anti mcu #anti disney #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog

the talos principle 2 will be out on november 2nd. what will I even do. what will become of me. you will not hear from me for three days at least.

#what if it’s bad. I’ll have to kill myself. #Im curious if we’re meant to be the same guy we were in talos 1. bc there’s clearly some sort of time skip given. how many people are around #unless they’re doing some retcon thing where our player was not the first to break out but I think that’s silly #not in like a. player character is specialest boy way but canonically the idea of generations is about learning from who came before #but yeah so assuming this is a time skip to once more of these consciousnesses have been developed #why are there puzzles if it’s not a simulation #it doesnt make sense but I love suspending disbelief #does the world look like that bc of humans ? or these new people ? #like there is a purpose to why everything is the way it is in talos 1. #gah. anyway. questions for which there may be answers #on one hand i hope they don’t bring Alexandra back bc it would be cheapening #but on the other. I miss her. #ideally we’d hear from arkady. or even my best friend Nadya. #but I doubt they’d do this #Bc genuinely I don’t think most players have a conception of who those guys are #talos principle 2 will confirm that nadya and Alex are lovers. #talos principle #the talos principle 2

i hold the rarest dragon age opinions of neither hating nor loving anders and cullen

#like theres potential but the writing is fucking all over the place and despite the bioware ~nuance~ the lib politics of the writers are so #glaring that im just pulled out of it #theres something they were going for and were working towards cohesive Points but wimped out. many such cases! #also i feel like they respond to fan opinions too much #changing how many people were in the chantry bc anders remained popular after the end of da2 #retconning cullens more unsavory traits ie the ending where he massacres innocents (although most of the origins endings got retconned #regardless) #mostly its the retconning actually. later games/media fully lying to you about events and characters you saw previously #god i hate the lib shit at bioware and the fumbling attempts at having any coherent message. cant wait for da4! #text #da #perso #fuck that was more than i meant to type

Exodus?? Exodus????

They've really been out here saying "anyone can have redemption!! Oh, except you two" to the Maximoffs since 2006 huh

#fucking. exodus. #anyway i saw a thing about some more recent x men stuff #also i am fully aware that theyre finally letting some m day shit go and letting the twins move tf on #(yknow bc everybody else has until its plot relevant to hate Wanda or Pietro again) #but its just. such a strong dichotomy of hypocrisy #the maximoff twins had a long fucking run of just trying to be heroes and doing their best #got shoved into a shit sandwich of a situation. made some bad decisions (mostly Pietro) and were summarily shoved into the role of #villain/antagonist for the next nearly two DECADES of comic history. it is.. so frustrating to see. #not even counting the bit where they were retconned into havin their identities stripped from them. while still being treated as villains #and like i am also aware that many comics fully ignore what other comics are doing and theyve been on teams #and been avengers and done good things etc #but like. cmon folks. its so frustratingggg #narrations

i haven't rewatched other girls in a while bc it was made during a rough time for my mental health which makes it difficult to revisit without having that be an unignorable part of it for me but i'm currently editing the video essay i'm doing for my final in one of my college courses and i'm using a montage of clips from other girls in it and rn i'm just sitting here like damn i really did that!!! like yeah i was going through the most major manic-depressive episode of my life and not coping with it well at all, but also like damn between the ages of 16 and 20 i wrote and composed a two hour musical comedy with a dozen original songs (despite never having written music before), directed a production of it at the beginning of my sophomore year of college and put it out into the world as something people can watch. that's a huge accomplishment, and the fact that i was able to do that while getting through my own mental health struggle is actually super impressive

i really hope i get to a point where i can revisit other girls as its own piece of art without dwelling on my own mental health struggles behind the scenes (especially bc i'm in such a better place rn and i probably wouldn't have grown as much as i have without those struggles) but i'm so proud of my past self for being able to put it all together. and even if it didn't reach hundreds of thousands of views, it was able to reach some people who really connected with it

btw here's the video of it if any of my followers are interested and haven't seen it:

(i really hope i can get subtitles for the whole thing eventually bc the audio isn't always clear, but i do still have the script if people want to follow along with that)

#also there are many things i would change with the plot and structure and production if i were to do it again #i don't have any plans to stage the musical again BUT i may revisit the story in another medium #also the aubrey in other girls is NOT the same aubrey from my character monologues even tho they share a name/pronouns/aesthetic #(irl my aubrey sketch character evolved from the musical character bc i wanted to do an aubrey project after other girls was done #but then i realized i didn't want to have to share the same continuity and the two characters became very different) #in-universe tho i've actually found a way to retcon this which i find very funny #basically the ''real'' aubrey (the sketch character i play) is actually cousins with the ''aubrey'' from other girls #who is 5 years younger than the real aubrey and transfemme #and basically after aubrey's cousin came out and decided to choose a new name she named herself aubrey aubergine #and the real aubrey is just like ''ok i'm proud of you but also literally pick any other name that one's mine'' #so aubrey's cousin (and the ''aubrey'' from other girls) eventually changed her name to zendra #so if i end up revisiting the story of other girls again the character is gonna be called zendra i just can't change the youtube production #i do have an aubrey monologue all about aubrey's cousin who stole zir name lmao i find this retcon very funny #Youtube

@sonyawix listen, at this point, I'm moving Anathema up in the fic schedule because the ideas are Occurring and I am having so much fun with this fic right now.

We have a hot few things to get through before Jasper gets that hug. But he's definitely established Esme as an ally in getting closer to Alice. Because she remembers when they met him, and the truth is they were suspicious and afraid of him. He's been the first line of defense for the Cullen family since he joined them. And yes, he's their brother and 'son', but Esme can't deny what he's saying and she's heartbroken that it's true.

And like, Jasper definitely gets his hug. They end up fucking on an autopsy table, and the hug comes way before that.

I really need a proper outline and a timeline for this fic immediately. There are so many moving parts, we're gonna have a great time!

#asks: sonyawix #my fic: anathema #i'm on the fence about when to post it #because the fics to follow stl joh and vs were slated to be atbt and hybrid #really i suppose that's september's problem #can i finish something before september is the real question #i have so many pieces to put together we're doing a full canon retcon - bella & peter & maria & the pack & the volturi etc #jasper also has to realise alice is a Real Person and actually trust her #alice needs to slow down and realise that jasper needs careful handling #edward needs to stress less #rosalie needs to... stress less #carlisle needs to... there's a pattern forming #emmett's delighted he might get a real brother out of jasper #and not the book-cave goblin he's become

Please ignore if I clicked the wrong blog to respond to.

But I also want new Megas and Protomen :(

RIGHT?!?!

I mean, yeah, the Megas also have their takes on Skullman's theme ("Cracked Skulls"; inspired by MM4) and Chill Penguin's theme ("Chill XMas"; inspired by MMX), and I guess there's also one based on Storm Eagle's theme ("Rougmer Storm"; MMX), but I haven't listened to that one yet.

Like, I get that they have a good story arc to cover the first 3 classic games, but it would be so cool if they explored some of the themes of the following games, y'know? Or flesh out the MMX or other series music! Or hell, pick and choose some Robot Masters and make a new narrative, or like literally anything, please, people are starving over here! And it's not like they aren't still active. Don't get me wrong, I love their Castlevania stuff under the Belmonts label, but it would be nice to get Mega Man content outside of just remixes/remasters of their existing songs. Plus, they're still doing concerts, so like the audience is there for it!

And as for the Protomen, I hope that they actually end up releasing Act III at some point. Having listened to The Fight, it makes me crave it to an unhealthy degree. I love the grimdark kinda take on Mega Man that focuses more on the role that humanity takes in all of the conflict. I feel like that angle gets extremely neglected in Mega Man media.

Idk, as a fan, it's just kinda frustrating how neglected mega man gets. Like, it feels like the rare times whenever we do get content, it focuses on the first three or four games (if we're lucky), and then it just dies off! Or goes dormant for a decade or more. The franchise has so much creative potential that just isn't realized and it's so sad!

#hoping praying everyday for more #oh god and like just how foundational both bands have been for the creative efforts for the classic series #the archie comic even references The Megas a few times!! I GAVE YOU HAIR (ROBOTIC HAIR) #imagine the potential with a Bass focused narrative! or Quint! or Dr Cain!! #and Capcom themselves arent free from scorn here. if they encouraged more creative efforts a la the archie comic it could stimulate #even more interest in the series beyond just jumping and shooting. like that helps to build an evergreen fanbase #and i mean more than just XDiVE. like i find XDiVE charming yeah but like. Im not seeing the profits from being put back into mega man stuff #having friends that have gotten me back into transformers really makes me reflect on Mega Man. i get that transformers has toylines and MM #is more game focused and that def makes a difference but like. the amount of comic series and issues that help flesh out the transformers #universes. for MM we get like 55 issues for archie? 'indefinite hiatus'? bro we know the sonic stuff brought MM down with it just say 'dead' #let IDW take up the license and get Ian Flynn to come back. i know we likely wont get ArchieOCs like Tempo back but like #idk.... it hurts bc i know how good of a job the archie comics were. its hard to imagine a reboot that isnt basically identical in story to #archie. esp bc how much love was put into tying in with the side content like the hand held games. but surely something could be done #somehow it could be continued. find some kind of Genesis Wave-esque mcguffin to change the OCs out. retcon the sonic stuff out completely #i really dont want to see MM1—MM3 needing to be revisited *again*. its like a Dr.Wily/Sigma in their own right for how much it comes back #like thats prob what kills a lot of creative endeavors tbh. the themes and events are so foundational that theyre nigh inescapable #I'm just.... tired.. #i have so much love for mega man and so many chains holding that love down

[sasukeless]

do you prefer manga or anime

depends depends… like w naruto i prefer the manga because anime ruined sm making 40% of it fillers its no wonder people leave w such bad opinions lol. but i have to give credit where its due and say the voice acting puts so much emotion in the dialogue its great. also the openings and endings are 🫶.

now in other shows besides naruto, i usually enjoy both so im not that picky

#the problem w naruto is that fillers are WAY too many and all are written by the anime team who u can clearly see their certain bias w #characters and dynamics that are veryyy different from the original story thats why sasuke’s characterization in fillers is HORRENDOUS #or just retcon actual important parts which ends w people missing why naruto is so attached to sasuke because other characters were for him #idk its just no surprise many ppl that watched fillers miss alot of what the story is about becausethe anime itself keeps contradicting what #kishimoto was writing #mine
