the realization brennan lee mulligan has to go through that not only he has spent so much effort and care towards something that wasn't even real but TWO layers removed from the real game, that not only all of his friends conspired against him again, but also he has to come to terms with the fact that he's a cartoon character that is so predictable it is possible to make a bingo out of his quirks last minute and have that one WIN, is too much. this man is in hell and sam reich is the devil
Discworld is the only fantasy setting I know of that opens with The Magic Is Going Away and everyone is just kind of okay with it. Like “Welp, got to move with the times, can’t run a condom factory when there’s elves all over the place”
Hear me out. The latest chapter establishes that Yuji's use of Sukuna's cursed technique features Yuji's modern interpretation of concepts, hence the little scissor graphics when he activates Cleave.

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
