i love seeing oppenheimer discourse on this website revolving around how the movie is going to ‘glorify the atomic bomb’ or ‘celebrate war writ large’ bc it honestly makes me think people know literally nothing about who oppenheimer was, what he came to believe, or what happened to him. but go off i guess

#idk like #google the atomic energy commission hearings #anyway that’s my hot take of the year #also it’s not like nolan is a brilliant writer or director bc he’s not really and that worries me more #but still. #oppenheimer

i deeply enjoy that the frozen citadel, giant intimidating castle of decked out, designed to be as intimidating as possible, symbol of the terrible things within. that frozen citadel. it will now forever have a pink sheep named poof who doesn't know what the ground is dangling from it. it's like a metaphor for tango and zedaph. i think.

#hermitcraft #tangotek #zedaph #i think there's also something existentially terrifying about inventing a sheep that doesn't know what the ground is #so like. MAYBE it's fitting after all? #but still.

(for the record, they are not making new LOTR movies, but new movies set in middle earth - of course the headlines are clickbaity, and i didnt realise it before posting because I read all these articles)

#that's all I'm gonna say #it's mine my own my precious #lotr #the lord of the rings #these are not new lotr movies but new movies in middle earth by the way #but still.

when they first met laurent and nikandros's rivalry was one-sided bc laurent was just like really busy at the time with what he believed to be his impending inevitable death and whatnot. post-canon though when nikandros has warmed up to laurent it is laurent who now has beef with nikandros bc laurent's best friend is damen 100% but damen's best friend is nikandros. so you see the issue. "but damen is laurent's husband!" laurent doesn't give a shit. his best friend has another best friend who isn't laurent that shit is embarassing!! and nikandros must die about it

#eventually he gets more friends. and gets over it #but STILL. #its outrageous!!!! #laurent #captive prince #damen x laurent #laurent & nikandros #nik and lolo dynamic of all time #laurent failgirl of all time also

We want the estrogen that makes us look like Gali. Specifically Toa Mata Gali

Look at her. Her tgirl swag. We want what she has.

#Faye Rambles #Bionicle #what we wouldn't give for a classic Gali set #we never actually got to have any of the toa mata sets #our first sets were toa hordika #which is part of why toa metru holds a special place in our heart #the other part being that Legends of Metru Nui was the first movie we saw #with Web of Shadows and Mask of Light shortly after #but we digress #we're so enamored with the world. even today #we wish we had to braincells to absorb that fan ttrpg rn #but still. #we're glad to be thinking abt the world again #we never made ocs; not really #we're making ocs now #isn't that fun? #*lies on the floor* #ough...

btw regarding the discord thing: there are also other issues coming up with how people already try to monopolize usersnames they don’t intend for financial gain (see: kinnies on tumblr selling urls for upwards of 200 usd) which may result in an excess of throwaway accounts to hoard these usernames. additionally, without the number discriminator, there is also the issue of random people being able to identify & add you -- which, sure! you can change security so no one can send you frqs unless you share a server, but would you really turn that off every time an irl asks for your discord to contact you? or you may need to change your username... but quite honestly you shouldn’t have to change your username just to avoid harassment or unknown people suddenly contacting you. it’s ridiculous.

#jestersvaguely #there's also more to say about the caps being entirely a nonissue as long as you keep the number discriminators when people are searching #for a particular person (there should be no way that someone has the exact same number denominator as someone else w differing caps) #but... blehhh... no energy to delve all into that. #basically. be constructive in your reports. talk about what they haven't yet realized. don't just complain ''because it's new'' #or else they won't listen...! they may not listen anyhow #but still.

listen, i know tonchon was voted the worst (and it is, and i still celebrate that fact), but one of its worst crimes was the missed opportunities

this should have started something and it did not and that is a travesty

#i'm giffing random scenes and this just happened to get screencapped #i'm sure i'll revisit when i eventually make it to this point and do it properly this is a very lazy gif #but still. #LOOK AT THEM #look how fuckin pleased with himself mike looks btw can we just take a minute #ai / nai / chonlatee agenda starts here #tonhon chonlatee #my gifs #mine: chonlatee #because why not i guess

most arguments to justify believing in a fairy over believing in a walrus could also, with a little bit of imagination, apply to a walrus on your doorstep, but peoples minds are trapped by the alluring potential realness of the walrus vs the simplistic answers offered by the fantasy of a fairy

#this means basically nothing #i just rlly find the fairy/walrus thing funny #esp how ive not seen one (1) post defending the ''logical'' answer #its all just 'okay OKAY I KNOW but HEAR ME OUT ON THE WALRUS' #so basically i guess i agree with the people saying 'look id be more SURPRISED by a walrus' cause i get it #but still. #joos yaps

The train is late and your family is dead

I think grief is like a really ugly couch. It never goes away. You can decorate around it; you can slap a doily on top of it; you can push it to the corner of the room—but eventually, you learn to live with it. ― Jodi Picoult, Leaving Time

God of Stories!?

Um... No, Aaron. God of Stories is title from Marvel and nowhere else.

I've read some of the stories and flipped through some Norse Mythology books. I am by no means an expert, but apparently I still have done more research than anyone making this series.

It would take one google search to find that "God of Stories" is not a thing from Norse Mythology.

God of Stories is specifically derived from Loki's pervious title of God of Lies.

"What does God of Lies even mean?" "What's a lie?" "A lie is a story told. That's all."

Becoming the God of Stories in the comics was Loki taking his fate into own hands. Loki deciding for himself for he is. Taking a negative quality "a lie" and reinventing it to be a positive "a story".

So, the big problem with trying to use the God of Stories title in the MCU is the fact Loki was never the God of Lies in the MCU. He's never called that, not even as a joke or insult. That's why it doesn't work.

That makes no sense, Loki's new title should be god of time or at most god of destiny/fate. Loki isn't writing stories or telling the stories he's preserving the timelines. He interacts with things as time travel and multiverse travel. He does not interact with this as a narrative.

In the comics, Loki and Asgard, It's myth, legends and prophecy=Stories. Loki interacts with these things as narrative, as stories.

The series is more reaching, because it's more in the sense of "Everyone has their own story and Loki is now preserving time which is people's stories." But it could be changed to calling Loki the destiny or fate and nothing about the themes would change. The arc would be exactly the same they just wouldn't have said the word stories so much.

#I'm so taken aback by the fact the level of research of this show was Wikipedia. #Explains a lot #but still. #loki deserves better #loki meta #mcu salt #god of stories #loki

Watching Xisuma's episode and enjoying seeing something I don't think I've ever seen before:

Cleo trying to persuade X to try diplomacy while he talks about how much he wants to murder.

anyways in anticipation of suzuka, please remember that jules bianchi was a real human person, a great driver in the making in his own right, and not some plot device/“character development” for charles leclerc nor an argument you use to prove why the fia is shit. remember him, yes, but please do not use his death to tragedy wank and make posts for the likes just to virtue signal or pretend you care because that’s the “‘morally correct’” thing to do.

#even though I KNOW bitches will anyways #but still. #stop it. #I’d rather people not talk about him at all than to do any of this shit #and fr. just let him be
