#All of the red flags showing

#I am so so tired of having to endure everyone's stuff #I am so so tired of being a constant mediator for my family and for everyone in my life and never being able to dicuss my own worries #I am so so tired of having to endure all of the yelling and shouting and throwing and trying to remain calm and talk things out between my- #-family members when I just want to curl up in a ball in a woods somewhere far far away #I am so tired of always having to help everyone with their shit while barely handling my own #Im so tired of pretending everything at uni was fine and whenever I bring up the difficulties just getting told chin up!! #Like that's enough #Like you haven't seen me this close to falling apart #To not existing before #And still the second time around #All of the red flags showing #Nobody cares. Again #I'm so tired of it all #And all of the financial stress and the study stress and all of it #Why do I have to look out for and protect my family and mediate their arguments if they won't return the favour? #Why can't I call my friends and say please please I need help after years of calming them down in late night phone calls? #Why does everyone else get the privilege of moving on? #While I'm stuck with the mental struggles of being 15 and the worries of my 50+ year old parents and mid 20s sibling? #And it's fine. #It's FINE #I just wish for once in my life #Someone else could do all the mediating and endure all the shouting #And I could be somewhere else #Vent post #vent cw

Prompt:

It’s not that Jason forgot, per se.

But between smuggling a toddler out of the League of Assassins, trekking halfway across the world, and finding a suitable hiding place that’s also child friendly… well, it kind of slipped his mind that he’s supposed to be… dead.

Something that comes back to bite him in the ass when he takes Dami out for some ice cream and just so happens to run into non other than Brucie-fucking-Wayne

#look I’ve found a new fave trope and it’s Brucie Wayne having to keep up his act while internally LOSING HIS SHIT #Jason isn’t very into the whole revenge thing here #his mind is 85 parts ‘keep Dami safe’ 5 parts ‘kill joker asap’ and 10 parts ‘avoid bats at any cost’ #Jason doesn’t know who Damian’s father is #dealer’s choice if Jason establishes himself as Dami’s dad or older brother #his build certainly makes him look old enough #if you don’t look at his baby face lol #Jason runs into Brucie and goes straight into survival mode #Damian who is very observant for a toddler immediately clocks Brucie as THREAT based on Jason’s reaction #Brucie blue screens and desperately tries not to lose Jason in the crowd #jason is absolutely trying to lose Brucie in the crowd #while clutching Damian like his life depends on it #for all he knows it does #the visceral terror that your pseudo dad will take away your little brother/baby #Bruce who just wants to know if he’s hallucinating again: W A I T #jason who is terrified of being put in Arkham for killing people: no FUCKING WAY #hm maybe Jason plays the ‘I’m not Jason’ game again #it’s not gonna hold for long #but Bruce absolutely thinks that Damian is Jason’s bio child for a while and he’s on the WARPATH #Jason was sixteen when he died and never showed any interest in dating so literally every red flag is waving in brucie’s mind simultaneousl #or maybe Jason manages to get away and all Brucie is left with is the memory of his supposedly dead son #running away from him #and clutching a tiny kid #prompts #jason todd #batfamily #Damian wayne #batdad #brucie wayne

And THERE IT IS.

If you wanna no the BIGGEST problem with Zionism, religious appropriation, and the whole genocide thing going on over there?

You know...besides the loss of life.

But also...unfortunately...maybe not?

Watching an episode of Moon Girl. And a character is celebrating her Bat Mitzvah!

And you know what they used as symbols?

THE STAR OF DAVID!

Yes! A delightful, iconic emblem of the Jewish religion. Immediately recognizable. Associated with a proud culture!

Oh, but wait...how's it being used nowadays? I saw two Stars of David in the past five minutes thanks to this episode...guess how I was seeing the symbol the other twenty times today?

So, yeah. This is why when someone puts a religious symbol on a flag, you tell them not to do that.

#this is also absolutely the first time in history this has happened #but no I shouldn't be upset because an episode celebrating the Jewish people and their traditions #is HITTING THE MENTAL RED FLAG IN MY MIND #ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #UGH #what a good episode this seems to be though #....ALSO THOUGH ALL THE COLORS ARE WHITE AND BLUE #like...I should not be worried about this #but nooooooooooooooo #some people have to BOMB THINGS #and here are casey's dads #nicely in the forefront #what a good show

What makes a rock a rock and not a crystal?

Ok SO

A mineral is a naturally occurring non-organic solid with a defined chemical composition and an orderly molecular structure. This means the molecules throughout the entire structure will be exactly the same, and be arranged in a symmetrical, geometric, repeating pattern called a crystal lattice.

Quartz is a mineral. Its chemical formula is silicon dioxide, and its crystal lattice forms a repeating tetrahedron.

Ice is also a mineral. Its chemical formula is dihydrogen monoxide, and its crystal lattice forms a repeating hexagon.

Obsidian is not a mineral. It is a mineraloid, a mineral-like substance. Its chemical composition can vary wildly, and instead of a crystal lattice, its molecules are jumbled up in an amorphous solid, meaning there’s no nice repeating pattern to them.

A crystal is any solid material with a crystal lattice.

All minerals, by definition, have a crystal lattice. So all minerals are crystals! Some things that are NOT minerals are also crystals!

Sugar is a crystal. It has a crystal lattice made from molecules of sucrose. But it is not a mineral because it is organic.

Often, these repeating geometric patterns in the crystal lattice cause the substance to naturally form big geometric structures with distinct faces - such as the points formed by quartz. These larger structures are colloquially also called crystals, and their shape (called a crystal habit) is determined by the shape of the crystal lattice. The same crystal lattice can produce multiple different crystal habits, and it’s all very cool and complicated but I won’t go off on a tangent about it right now.

A substance does not have to form big structures like this to be scientifically considered a crystal. It just needs a crystal lattice!

A rock is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids. It can be made of a single mineral, or a bunch of different minerals. But when made from a single mineral, it will not be one solid block of that mineral with an unbroken crystal lattice. Because it is an aggregate, it will be a bunch of micro- to macroscopic grains of that mineral all compacted together, each with their own individual crystal lattices.

Granite is a rock. It is made of grains of minerals such as quartz and feldspar.

Limestone is a rock. It is mostly made of grains of calcite.

So rocks can be made of crystals, but rocks are not crystals - in the same way that a house can be made of bricks, but a house is not a brick!

And this is just a very quick overview of these terms, because the scientific definitions can get increasingly pedantic and there are tons of weird exceptions! It is all very fascinating.

But of course, the word rock also has a colloquial definition, which is just… a chunk of that hard stuff the planet is made of! A mineral, a crystal, a fossil or a bio-organic solid… whatever! This is a rock collection and these are my rocks!

#rock collecting #red pen has cool rocks #talkin' bout rocks #i'm gonna get salty in the tags for a minute about that they're minerals marie meme and how utterly unrealistic it is #because literally everyone in this hobby just calls them rocks #and we all collectively understand that we're using the colloquial definition #it's bizarre to me that the show made that joke because arguing about semantics is honestly kind of a Fake Fan red flag at this point #like the only people who argue semantics about this are the crystal woo crowd who insist they're collecting 'crystals' #they're magical healing crystals marie

Imma do this final vent and then I’ll shut up about it.

This was a dumb move, from every possible perspective.

In the og goodbye video, they really made it sound like they were doing the streaming service because they wanted to go bigger, make cooler videos, really see what they could do and let their creative vision take the lead.

Growing as an artist is what you do when you Already Have The Money To Do So. You don’t tell your audience “give me money and then I will use to it to make cooler bigger things”. That’s not a streaming service, that’s a kickstarter.

They didn’t have the numbers to pull a streaming service off either. “We think we’re ready for television quality content” no you don’t. Sorry, no you do not. Television quality content means 30-50 crew per project, means at least 4-5 production being worked on at the same time, and at least 4-5 productions being broadcast at the same time. Watcher has maybe 2 series they upload simultaneously and they have 25 employees TOTAL. Not even CLOSE to tv levels of content, who the fuck do you think you are???

Did they really think all 3 million of their subscribers were going to follow them on this? Including kids, whose spending is dependent on their parents? Including the casuals, who only subscribed for the occasional video? Including people for whom $6 dollars on another streaming service just isn’t an option? Why DIDN’T they poll this, was this being a surprise really that important??

AND why would you completely cut off another revenue? Even if YouTube is restrictive, it’s still another source of income. Cutting that off completely is… bold.

Especially since in the apology, they let it slip that no, actually, it’s because Watcher is on the brink of having to close up shop because they’re not making enough money with just the patreon, the merch sales, the ad reads, etc.

So… one of those is a lie. Or at least part of the truth.

But let’s assume they are in financial trouble, then this was still the dumbest they could’ve done.

Welcome to the entertainment industry where we follow 1 giant fucking rule: Kill Your Darlings.

Fellas, pals, amigos, bros, dudes. If your projects spend more than what they make, it’s time to downsize. Not upscale. Cut the shit that’s spending the most money, start concentrating on how you can conserve without having to fire your crew. Put the projects where you have to fly out and buy new stuff all the time on the back burner, you can get back to them once you actually have the money for them. Work with what you already have. You have a MASSIVE studio space, fuckin use it. You HAVE sets, you HAVE props, you HAVE talent and you have ideas. Start workshopping all the crazy and shit ideas you thought weren’t gonna work and start thinking how you could make them work with the lowest possible budget you can have. Your audience is there, they’ll watch whatever you throw at them. Now is the time to go crazy and see what sticks. You HAVE viewership. Collab. CONSTANTLY. Get it the fuck out there that you exist. A lot of people had no idea a patreon existed, mention it ALL THE TIME. To the point that it becomes annoying. Do it!

If your studio is becoming too expensive, get rid of it. Sorry, kill your darlings. Move some shit around in Steven Lim’s tesla garage, put up some green screens, this is where you work now until you can afford a studio in LA again, you dipshits. Editors can work from home, sound designers can work from home, writers and researchers can work from home, meetings can happen in someone’s kitchen or living room.

And finally: be transparent. Be honest to your audience and communicate. “We’re sorry to put Ghost Files on hiatus, however we can no longer justify the cost of traveling to locations.” The majority of your audience will understand and show patience. The part of your audience that matters will wait and enjoy your other wacky shit in the meantime. Hell, they might spontaneously start their own kickstarter because those who can, will want to support you financially, if you’re just hONEST WITH THEM.

As a business, you constantly have to choose between your financial stability and that of your employees, your vision and the future of your company and what you Want to do with it, and your integrity, the trust between you and your audience. (Especially that last one, businesses can’t pretend they don’t have a relationship with their audience, that’s not how business works, guys.)

When you’re in financial straits, one of those has to go. Watcher chose the latter, they should’ve picked the middle. Their grand television quality ideas can fucking wait, if money is a problem.

Look, I’m an artist too. I had a vision too. But it was either my creative vision or being able to afford food and rent. Creativity can wait, creativity will always be there once I can support it. Living comes ALWAYS first. Asking my audience to fund my huge artistic dreams though, with only the promise of something cool, NEVER even crossed my fucking mind. That’s what donations are for, that’s what the patreon is for.

They apologised. And good. But this was a dumb decision from the goddamn start. There were like 500 steps in between and they skipped all of it. And for what? For money? For grand ideas? For greed or for hubris? How many of their original subscribers are actually gonna come back? How much money did they lose with this stunt? If they really are in financial trouble, this MASSIVE risk -which is what it has always been- might just be their downfall. And it’d be 100% their own fucking fault.

#Watcher #Ok that’s ACTUALLY the last time i talk about this i need to move on #I dunno why this played in my mind so much #No i do know: it was boredom #But even as an outsider to whole streaming service just Felt Gross #And as someone who’s worked in the entertainment industry… i just.. SAW all the red flags #And it’s BAFFLING none of the so-called professionals at watcher entertainment stopped this #Or maybe that’s the hubris of the ceo’s talking who tf knows at this point #Anyway all of this was playing in my mind and i had to type it out to get my brain to hopefully shut up #Imma pirate some fucking tv shows now #If paying for it isn’t owning it then pirating isn’t stealing #Long post #like LONG-ASS FUCKIN POST

izzy as the eight of cups - giving up and moving on, courage and loss, letting go of friends, lovers, and old ways of being

You can't tell me Gabri wouldn't use his brother in the classic "call my big bro to get my ass out of fights I picked I know I can't win" and Migs "i love my brother so much" o'hara would absolutely help every time EVEN when on da trabajo

#miguel o'hara #spiderman 2099 #my art #across the spiderverse #atsv fanart #spider man: across the spider verse #spiderman #atsv #gabriel o'hara #brotherly love man #he sounds like hes always annoyed but he would give his life for u gabri #and gabri would do the same for you #the bond bro. its all about the bond #but having a 300lb beast of a man show up in the dark as backup with glowin red eyes and claws basically is an instant white flag

Padme was so badass in the clone wars. She got her uncle to join the republic, she solved her uncle’s murder case as well as stopped future murders, she played a man while undercover, she dealt with several assassination attempts, survived poison, survived capture a few times, she survived a newly revived extinct plague while FIGHTING BATTLE DROIDS, she dealt with the other senators and that one old giraffe motherfucker from the clone’s homeworld that i totally didn’t forget the name of what are you guys talking about im a real fan i promise i just forget a lot of names for stuff, she played the same man AGAIN on ANOTHER undercover mission, AND she changed outfits every episode she was in :)

You could say, she gaslit, gatekept, and, quite possibly, girlbossed

Also she married a Jedi, and did a MUCH BETTER job of keeping it secret than Anakin did (I mean she pretended to not know him when she had to pretend to like that one separatist senator [his name doesn’t deserve to be remembered])

#padme amidala #star wars clone wars #star wars #sw #sw cw #i love her #she’s so cool #also we Stan a queen who can change outfits in some episodes #anakin didn’t know what he had #that’s a lie he loved her but like #he showed a lot of red flags #with all that I killed them all bs #she should’ve gotten tf outta there 😭 #girl did not deserve that treatment

fun fact: nobody in this show is a green flag. they are all red flags. yes, i mean ALL. that includes top. and sand. and nick. and mew.

that's kind of the whole point

#i'm tired of hearing people call top a green flag #and then shitting on ray for being a red flag #listen they are all TERRIBLE #JUST IN DIFFERENT wAYS #nobody in this fucking show is a green flag and if you think any of them are green flags #we're not watching the same show #ofts #only friends #only friends the series

I think we all love to say we need to have nuanced conversations, until it’s actually time to have one and it all goes out the window.  Should daniel not have laughed at those jokes? Yeah. Should he have called the host out? Probably, but it’s clear that this was meant to be an ‘edgy’ skit as part of his media duties for the Nashville showrun.  It’s more glaring that Daniel and his team keep thinking it’s ok for him to go on these kind of shows, where his failure to say anything ends up with him pandering to that kind of audience.  Should he do better? Yes.  Does that make him a raging unredeemable misogynist who apparently deserved to have crashed out? No

I think it’s good that people are calling him out, because that’s what a community does - we hold the people we look up to accountable for big and small things.  But also, should the reactions maybe be proportionate to the perceived offence? Yeah

#i think we all know daniel is a talking walking laughing red flag #but if we're here everyday supporting these men #you all should have realised by now none of these men are who they show us they are #we all know it and yet we're all still here #soooo

If you genuinely thought Rick and the writers would pay homage to those movies when for the past year and a half racist trolls online have been using those same damn movies to harass the cast of CHILDREN … there’s no hope for you.

#anyone still talking about those movies are an immediate red flag to me #before i was indifferent but #these last few years have made me hate them so much #all the adults working on the show very obviously love these kids so much and want to protect them #in what fucking world would they acknowledge those movies to give weight that they’re legit adaptations #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #annabeth chase #grover underwood #pjotv #pjo tv show #percabeth #walker scobell #leah sava jeffries #aryan simhadri

watching ep 5 with subs back now and you know what yes segasaki was a dick he shouldnt have trivialiased yoh's passion for manga and his dream of being a successful manga artist like that. and yes he shouldnt have planted a tracker on him either. but i love that we get all this. yes segasaki can be such husband material goals and know exactly how to care for and look after yoh so much so that that's all he wants to do and cherishes doing in a caregiver role. but there's also this extremely over protective and possessive side of him that claims yoh as his. and yes! thank you for showing that segasaki is not perfect once again!!! bc he isnt unlike how that editor describes him at the start of the ep or how man-san sees him!!! and good on yoh for fighting back! for telling him he is human and has dreams and aspirations outside of their ~relationship~ and whatever 'positions' and 'roles' they occupy themselves in it. good on yoh for walking out and once again showing segasaki that he can and will bite back even though he does love it when segasaki takes care of him and loves him. and we all know that yoh isn't perfect either. he's a brat and wavers between loving the codependency and the sex and then loathing it and overthinks himself into a confused hesitant mess and holds very little value of himself and drinks to avoid feeling and needs word as affirmation (when he himself doesn't quite know how to approach segasaki or talk to him) when segasaki uses every other love language in the world that screams "i love you!!" - and thats another flaw segasaki has though he's gradually getting a little better - etc etc etc.

it just makes their dynamic even more compelling and interesting and gives them room to address this particular issue they have, if they will, in future episodes.

#the d/s of it all goddddddd. #my personal weatherman #faiza talks #this show is doing Everything right.
