#I speak american okay

[layzeal]

fellas, y'all know i'm a wwx stan and all, so because of that it's kind of an important thing i remind everyone that sunshot wwx did steal the bodies of people's grandma's. like, it's a whole thing how he did steal people's grandmas. he doesn't deny it!! he's actually quite ashamed of it!! it wasn't just wen soldiers, he specifically digged up the graves of innocent wen ancestors and made them fight their own descendants for the pure horror of it

like... the point of the story isn't that wwx didn't do messed up shit during the war. the point is that no one batted an eye when he did it back then, and even celebrated him for it. but after he defected to save innocent war prisioners, suddenly all those things he was admired for were used to demonize him.

mdzs is an elaborate commentary on mob mentality and hipocrisy that spans even beyond the protagonist. to cheapen it to some disney channel movie level of shallowness is insulting at best

(ExR and Simplified CN; chapter 66 of the webnovel)

#before anyone says ''it's okay because it was war/it's okay because they were wens'' #i reeeeeaaaaally need you to reanalyze your views. especially if you're north american #also pause and try to realize who you sound like #like... the novel straight up Says it #it's not even subtle????? #please stop making wwx boring. he's NOT boring #something something the removal of character's agency is modao's fandom biggest problem smth smth #not only wwx's but everyone else's. but this isnt the topic today #modao #lace speaks

Considering the next episode (s3 ep8) is called "La Locker Room Aux Folles" in reference to the great musical of Le Cage Aux Folles.

I thought I'd bring this similarity up.

#ted lasso colin #colin hughes #ted lasso #le cage aux folles #i have many thoughts #that includes ones about how le cage aux folles means birdcage so the episode title means the locker room is colins cage #whoop #also the fact folles sounds like fall a tiny bit #overthinking as always feel free to ignore me #didn't include the fact the lyrics i pulled up were from le cahe aux folles' biggest song “i am what i am” because it obvious #okay with further research i was wrong about birdcage #the birdcage was just the loose translation american version name of a movie #so while not speaking french la cage aux folles means 'the cage of crazy'? #i still like to think of le cage aux folles as a bird cage but both names work for a nightclub

Okay SURE we all agree that Enid is queer-coded as FUCK with her rainbow nails and lesbian flag of a sweater, but I really wanna talk about her usage of ‘howdy’ more:

Enid Sinclair is someone canonically from California- my state, actually- and like…. NO ONE here who is straight uses motherfucken ‘howdy’ as a casual greeting. No one. You know how there’s this thing where if a person uses the word ‘y’all’ all the time and they’re not Cowboyishly Southern™️ then chances are they’re a fruit? Like, I use y’all every single day and I am a raging Californian through and through. I also love hot moms and dads. Sure, I am willing to concede that not EVERY non-Southerner who uses y’all is queer, but with the countless other queer people I know who do the same as I do… well.

Yes, correlation does not automatically equate to causation, however, there ARE enough people in this particular category that can give the claim I’m tryna make statistic significance. By extension of the y’all to fruit pipeline, ‘howdy’ is even MORE Cowboyishly Southern™️ than ‘y’all’ and Miss Sinclair is just spouting it right off the bat with her whole chest no hesitation as she joyfully greets Wednesday. Therefore, Enid is queer-coded as FUCK because when was the last time you EVER saw some Californian girlie casually use howdy unironically like this?

(Did I just try to use modern cultural linguistic patterns to try and justify a fictional character’s lesbianism? I mean YEAH in my defense I am delusional Wenclair trash but sshhhhh my science is still sound.)

#enid can still achieve a soft Greek accent when she speaks it tho this is still my truth #its like how I have a clearly American accent but when I switch to the little Vietnamese I can speak you can hear the subtle accent shitft #enid sinclair is a lesbian truthers rise UP #i be so delusional i be collecting all these crumbs #all fer yall okay i do this fer yall #SEE #I JUST USED YALL AGAIN WITHOUT THINKIN #this has to count fer smth #greek enid supremacy #greek enid #wednesday addams #enid sinclair #wenclair

micro-dosing on doll collecting by looking at dolls online and research binging about the characters

#if you can’t buy all the dolls having an encyclopedia of knowledge of them is fine #i feel like everh month/couple weeks i get invested in a new doll line #it’s like one of those special interests that i don’t talk about as much but like i have so much stored knowledge of american girl barbie #(like ag historical line/goty and for barbie generation girl/so in style/my scene/rockers sensations/tmwos/dance club) #and now i’m getting into rainbow high i don’t even know why like it just happened #not to mention mh and eah are always on the back burner waiting but they are more popular so it’s like more content so that’s overwhelming #even tho that’s a good thing #and like there are a million more doll lines #atm most of my dolls i have are disney or of other media chs but feel like i’m on the verge of breaking that and just collecting dolls #especially 80s/90s barbie’s i love them but also there are some super cool newer barbie’s i would be into owning #like the extra and fashion dolls are so cool #okay i think i’ve rambles enough #anyways always down to talk about dolls because my family rarely lets me infodump about them #rey actually speaks

yet another day of blocking popular blogs for supporting an organisation that they would hate if they were killing their own people but nooooooooo its okay to kill random Jews apparently.

#antisemitism #israel #you fucks gotta realise that its never okay to kill civilians #would you cheer if hamas killed civilians of the fascist state #of america? #israels GOVERNMENT is bad #target the goverments in charge of killing Palestinians #america is responsible for the genocide in Vietnam #if i cheered on an organisation killing american citizens as “revenge” #id be ridiculed #and rightly so #but why is it okay to kill israeli civilians? #is it because you think the middle east is somehow lacking the same nuances as the west? #im an anarchist #people are always victims of their governments #no one is free until we are all free #do you think israelis are somehow less human than americans? #if you viewed everyone as true equals #you would see that the people of Israel do in fact protest against their government #and Palestinians speak out against hamas

well you can hate fabrevans but let’s not pretend that lucky wasn’t the cutest duet ever

#juno speaks #however: sancedes should’ve won the duet competition. don’t twist this #i think quinn’s a lesbian. but sam was definitely her comphet crush #she used finn and … well you know what happened with puck 🙂🖕 so those don’t really seem like comphet #finn was quinn’s version of trying to fit into the american teenage dream & be the perfect girl #but i think quinn genuinely did want to like sam it just didn’t work because she’s a lesbian!!!! okay!!!!! #i think they’d remain best friends though #anyway lucky was a cute duet for them. regardless of any genuine romantic attraction that could’ve been there #(not there for quinn but there for sam 😚 okay) #gleeposting

if you shame or berate people for pirating things. please consider that being able to buy/watch/read/listen to/play things legitimately is a privilege

not even necessarily a "having the money" privilege but sometimes a "living in the right place" privilege or even a "speaking the language said thing happened to be released in" privilege

#getting into arcade rhythm games and fkmt's manga has convinced me piracy is not only okay but morally correct #i would LOVE to play chunithm or read akagi in the legitimate creator-approved way. unfortunately i live in the US and can't read Japanese #thinking abt that old woman yuri mangaka lamenting that english-speaking readers wouldn't be able to read her manga legitimately #to be clear she was 100% not the asshole she was nice abt it #just tragic all around #not to mention fan translators do awesome work for free but you usually don't get fan translations without what is technically reposting #i collect doujin and like so many american doujin collectors i discovered doujin through pirate sites #and i honestly have mixed feelings about it bc it's all art that was reposted without permission #but i've been able to read fanworks i otherwise just couldn't and i've found artists whose work is incredible #and whose books i would love to buy! but it's cost-prohibitive on both our ends #for an artist to get more than an extremely limited run of books printed and for me to pay for international shipping #a book that sells for under five dollars at a convention can be upwards of 20 dollars to buy and have shipped internationally #in a perfect world artists don't die without money and everyone is more normal about piracy

miro has a [giggles in finnish] mode and i think we need to force him into more english interviews to see if it exists when he’s not speaking his first language

#‘oh he doesn’t wanna do interviews’ #i’m winning the idgaf war sorry this isn’t about him it’s about ME. and MY needs #miro 32 thoughts when. who do i have to have slain #LIKE….. if the only platform u give him is shit ass postgames like ……. yeah we’re gonna get no personality the fuck!!! #do more long form english content or i’m going to go CRAAZYYY #not in a ‘this is america speak american!’ way but like . #okay sorry u literally know what i’m talking abt i don’t wanna explain #sorry this wasn’t the point #anyways he has a high pitched giggle exclusive to finnish #yap yap yapping

People not understanding how schoolboys - perhaps particularly British schoolboys of a certain era - interact when there are five of the cheeky little bastards and they’re incredibly excited to be where they are but bored and overwrought and also pampered is exactly at the root of Larry creation 😭

honestly. like imwdi ... how does anyone take that seriously? 💀

#i don't know if its a cultural thing #but i remember American larries being like no larrie started in the uk it was a thing before they came over #well no not really #it wasn't a conspiracy theory #it was a ship #anyway i don't mean to say Americans don't get sarcasm #but also 2011 was different in terms of awareness of different cultural communication styles - even between western countries who #speak the same language #okay byeeeeee

Trying to figure out if its funnier to give Ulysses S. Grant his supernatural ‘horse girl’ powers before or after the 1868 Republican National Convention.

The former means the leading contender is suddenly so fucking controversial and the delegates need to figure out who else actually has a shot at winning the election, while the latter means I get to look at what “putting a president elect on trial for witchcraft” does for resulting legal precedents.

#either way he's getting horse girl powers because i think its funniest if the way the setting knows #'okay powers were rumored to be a thing for a few months but we DEFINITELY know they exist after Grant magicks a horse from thin air' #like as THE first parahuman on record that can definitively be proven to have existed and had powers #i just think that's so fucking funny and would do such strange things to the resulting american culture #[crux] the manifest crucible #to survive the crucible #the monkey speaks #ranting about my passion projects

okay im not gonna. reblog anything about the superbowl ad mostly cuz i. did not watch it (i have never watched the superbowl) and therefore dont really know what it is and dont really care to look it up. i might go back and delete some of the posts later too

#shay speaks #like i doubt that isra*l was using the superbowl as cover its just. very unfortunate timing #but i dont doubt that getting eyes off of them anyway isnt like. beneficial to them #just bc it wasnt intended doesnt mean its not like. bad for isr*el to have that cover #bc the american media loves sports and will gladly cover the whatever half time show drama there is #idk again i dont know fuck all about the superbowl what even happens in there #like unfortunate coincidences is how im seeing that aspect #and again i havent seen the ad i cant say if it was just. an org that's zionist or if its something else #okay? okay 👍 #also no reblogs 4 u #turning them off this doesnt need to be reblogged

another thing, i hate that how much of a swiftie you are and how dedicated you are is measured by how much you buy or how many times you've seen her live. some of us are poor, bethany.

#my young self who braved limewire to download speak now was not any less of a swiftie simply because i didn't own a physical copy of it #my parents rarely bought me cds okay #and i've never seen her live because i've never been able to afford it! i got my first vinyl yesterday! #apologies to any bethanys btw it just strikes me as a very upper middle class white american name
