#I'm pretty sure they were joking

[aro-culture-is]

aro culture is seeing some people joke about how in a show some girl looked like she would start making out with her brother because she was being extremely affectionate towards him after he (wait for this) almost died. and just. not finding it funny.

.

#an-absolute-nightmare #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod axel #gen talk i literally think it's pretty gross and insensitive to joke about that in any context #much less in a situation where it's normal to be very upset/seek comfort #a coworker recently was like 'did you see [other coworker] a minute ago? she was here with her brother. they were like... idk really touchy #and it felt weird ngl lol' (in a lightly joking tone?) #and like... bro. she works so many hours that she had a breakdown and walked out last month #and i'm pretty sure they haven't seen each other in ages #shockingly some families have a healthy relationship with casual contact #and she definitely strikes me as someone from a family like that #don't be gross and speculate shit

I've been thinking that it's pretty hilarious how the so called ✨️ Four Kings of High Society ✨️ are:

- Ijekiel, 17 years old. At this point, just the son of Duke Alpheus.

- The son of House Irain, presumably around 14 judging by his face. No remarkable achievements that we know of other than being pretty.

- Lucas, actually old but 14 in physical age. He does have a little more going on, being a royal magician and the youngest leader of the tower.

- And Felix, who is about 35 years old. Leader of the royal guards, the emperor's right-hand man, and Knight of Crimson Blood who "single-handedly created a blood bath slaying the corrupted forces" in Obelia's civil war.

No wonder Felix was so embarrassed, they were putting him against literal brats. Just look at them: baby, baby, baby, war criminal— I mean, grown up man covered in blood.

To be fair, he does have a baby face.

#that Zavier dude (the one that got replaced by Lucas lmao) did look over 20-ish but still #okay i did choose pictures where they looked especially baby but #if i were Felix a 35 yo accomplished man being pitted against men 20 years younger than me that haven't done much other than being pretty #i would be kinda offended LMAO or embarrassed #love you Felix you are my second best boy #the war criminal part is a joke btw i'm p sure the Geneva Conventions don't exist in wmmap- #who made me a princess #suddenly became a princess one day #i suddenly became a princess #wmmap #sbapod #sbap #wmmap lucas #lucas wmmap #felix robane #felix robain #felix wmmap #wmmap felix #ijekiel alpheus #wmmap ijekiel #that flower kid doesn't have a name so... sorry LMAO

all the continued little jokes about how 'armand is presenting a fake version of his history where lestat was suuuper into him teehee what liar.' lestat literally said he any attraction he felt for anyone before armand was a fleeting shadow compared to what he felt for him and he only understood desire after they met. but ok. 'armand is the only person in the universe lestat doesn't want to fuck.' lestat choses not to be with armand because of being violated and betrayed, but he rejects armand - by which i mean, doesn't just tell him no, but tells him he's disgusting and that he could never love him - specifically as a way to hurt armand and get back at him. because lestat is spiteful and does not care if it makes him miserable to send armand away (and it does), so long as he can even the score and regain the upper hand. but yeah armand is just pathetic and making up a kiss because lestat thinks he's gross.

#sorry to be the killjoy it's just that i'm literally right #i know some people were just being cute #but after leaving the safety of my mutuals to find content and seeing this joke 50 times i'm so over it #armand is definitely lying about 500 things at any given moment of course #but he and lestat very much have kissed literally he doesn't need to make that up #also i'm pretty sure that kiss is from the 1940s and not whatever retelling of their history he will give #but that is besides the point #in my delusions i grumble if they'd waited until s3 these people would have left the fandom after they doubled down on the themes of s1 #and focused on lou + a #but i'm kidding myself they're gonna show up every season saying now is the season we'll get the real lestat story #like lucy and the football #kaitlin speaks #iwtv #lesmand

Hornblower but I make him talk like this

#yeah yeah this is a rural/working class accent and he's a middle class doctor's son i know #at least it could explain the rhotic slip-ups committed by ioan gruffudd in the show #(which are my beloved btw <3 choosing to consider them conscientious objection to the most english guy to ever english) #(i know that's absolutely not what they were but listen. radical linguistic praxis makes it bearable okay) #anyways i'm sure that hornblower has *some* kentish features in his speech #they're all so mean to him about being the son of a country doctor he has to show a slight phonological coloring in some situations #but also for legal reasons this is entirely a joke #i do think it's a pretty dialect though! i like the way it sounds when i try to read the scrunkly pre-ipa here #perce rambles #adventures in historical sociolinguistics #<- making this a new tag because i feel like it's its own rabbit hole #percy yells at cecil scott

I'm bored, so I'm going to list the differences between the orv webnovel and webtoon that I remember (only up to chapter 71 (webnovel)/episode 64 (webtoon), because that's how far I've gotten).

1. The most obvious, the name changes! The webtoon doesn't use honorifics, the webtoons names are first name last name instead of last name first name, and some of the names are spelled differently (Example: Yoo Joonghyuk vs Junghyeok Yu).

2. In the webnovel, when Lee Jihye is asking about Yoo Jonghyuk and Kim Dokja's relationship, she asks, "Wait! How did you give birth to a child?" In the webtoon, she asks if they adopted a child.

3. Dokja brings up this joke later when the constellation 'King Heungmu the Great' (Kim Yushin) is possessing him and trying to force Dokja to be his incarnation by threatening to use his body to kill Yoo Sangah. Dokja tells the constellation that "If I give birth to a child, I will surely tell them what happened today." The webtoon does not do this. (For those who don't understand what Dokja is doing, he's saying that he will pass on the constellations story to his future kid. This is an attempt to appease the constellation).

4. After this, the Fourth Wall kicks the constellation out. In the webnovel, we learn that the Fourth Wall was killing the constellation and would have done so if he didn't flee. We do not learn this in the webtoon.

5. Sangah tied Dokja up with her threads when this was happening (I haven't been told what they're called yet, but they are the golden strings shown in the webtoon). He compliments her for it while she apologizes for doing it. In the webtoon, this is played as a joke. In the webnovel, this gives us a small look into how Dokja sees her (he had thought Sangah was frozen in surprise. When he realizes she wasn't, he thinks, "It was my mistake when I thought of her as an ordinary office worker").

6. Sometime in the webnovel, Dokja thinks about how he isn't worried about his mom (a small but arguably important hint about their relationship). In the webtoon, he thinks about how he is worried for her.

7. Both the webtoon and webnovel explain words. The webtoon explains more words than the webnovel does and also gives some background on things that the reader probably wouldn't know. (Also, I don't know if this is just my problem, but the links in the webnovel don't work for me).

8. This is an obvious one, but the webtoon tends to make more jokes than the webnovel (or they turn scenes into jokes when they weren't jokes before. Example: number 5 on this list).

9. In the webnovel, Dokja finds out that "[The character Min Jiwon shows a weak liking towards you]." He immediately understands that this means she is attracted to him and heavily denies that this is the case (in his head, not out loud). In the webtoon, it outright says, "[Character, Jiwon Min, is slightly attracted to you]."

10. In the story, we learn that Min Jiwon was also attracted to Yoo Jonghyuk in previous regression(s). In the webnovel, she slapped him when they first met and proceeded to help him on the rest of his journey. In the webtoon, Joonghyuk grabbed her by the collar, and she immediately fell for him.

11. In the webnovel, Min Jiwon's attraction to Dokja is mostly implied. The only reason we know for sure that she likes him is because Dokja recognizes that she does (because he's read the novel and knows the signs). In the webtoon, it is very obvious, and she is very tsundere about it (a smaller example for easy comparison: in the webtoon, she glares at Sangah when she's untying Dokja. In the same scene in the webnovel, she looks between them "with curious eyes").

And that's it! Well, I'm sure there's more, but I'm mostly working off of a not so good memory (don't worry, I double-checked to make sure I got everything right ;] ).

#I might be remembering incorrectly but I'm pretty sure Jung Heewon jokes more in the webtoon than in the webnovel #and it's also less obvious that she doesn't quite trust Dokja #someone tell me if I'm wrong or not #I did double check to make sure I got the differences right #but there's no way I'm going to scour 70 chapters to figure out if Heewon makes more jokes in the webtoon #that would be so hard to search for #this might just be a me thing but Dokja doesn't come across as cold-blooded in the webtoon #that's worded poorly #he does come across as cold-blooded #but not as much as he does in the webnovel #and I feel like the webtoon makes it more obvious that he cares #but that could just be me #orv #orv spoilers #my post #I wrote this because I saw a post where people were angry at Yoo Jonghyuk's mischaracterization #Apparently he smiles when Dokja dies #I haven't gotten to this part but #well #the webtoon already annoys me a little bit #I've mostly been brushing it off but that mischaracterization is huge #anyways #I'm probably going to make more of these as I get further into the story #only until I catch up to the end of the webtoon #I am not going to wait for years to finish this story #my motivation would die so fast #It's already not that great #but I'm commited! #I'm going to finish orv #I've heard the epilogue is rather soul crushing :]

Most people: *celebrating Merc Mick*

Me, thinking of Mercedes' track record of actually getting driver's an F1 seat:

#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #mick schumacher #i hope it works out and he's back on the grid in 2024 but like merc doesn't have a good track record #like Nico Michael + Lewis were all established drivers when they joined #Valtteri had a few years with Williams under his belt before he moved #by most accounts George would've had another year at Williams if their first choices had accepted the merc seat #because he allegedly wasn't the first or even second choice #Esteban had to take a year out because he lost his seat until the Renault seat opened up #... I'm pretty sure that's all the drivers that have been under the Mercedes umbrella whether the actual team or the driver academy #& we saw Nyck nearly every race weekend in the merc garage so often for years it was almost a running joke #1 race weekend & a conversation was apparently all it took for him to get a seat with alpha tauri #merc hasn't really brought any drivers onto the grid other than George and Esteban #i would consider them both the exception rather than the rule especially Esteban #because his already established connections to Renault assisted him with getting the seat more than I would say his work with Merc did #& i believe merc used talks with Esteban & Daniel as potential threats to Valtteri's seat in order to motivate Valtteri to sign #rather than seriously considering either of them because resigning Valtteri had been their goal until 2021 #which was when Valtteri made the decision to leave the team as he wanted more stability than a year by year contract #there's always BTS manoeuvring & politics at play with any f1 seat #Esteban until the Renault move had been under the merc umbrella with teams using a merc engine #he is still managed by Toto #i believe he's one of the few drivers who are & the only one on the grid which is why he's the exception not the rule #Merc has about a good track record with young drivers as Ferrari or McLaren do #spoiler alert; Charles & Lando are the exceptions not the rules #oh god mick i love ya i hope this move works out and we'll see you on the grid in 2024 #say what you want about red bull but a solid chunk of the grid has connections there for a reason

fighting my friend's sad beige baby aesthetic by introducing the bold color of navy blue to the baby clothing for my baby shower gift 😌💙

#i was looking at her registry and no joke the ONLY COLOR was navy blue #for like two solid color shirts #also all the clothes were solid color im pretty sure #all of them are beige white or grey its so so depressing #but there was a solid blue onesie someone else got #and a solid blue hat #i waited until all the clothes were gone and then got a cute set that had some navy blue with a bear on it and some navy and white checked #also there's anfew beige and white ones in the set so it shouldn't offend her vibe too much #its not overtly disrespectful #but at least there's a bit more color and some pettern now #also its bear themed to go with the little baby teddy bear and the corduroy books i got :) #its not super busy pattern wise since she clearly likes everything as boring as possible #it's still respectful of her vibe #but i managed to get some color and pattern and cute bears in there #anyway this poor baby #is going to have such a dreary colorless childhood #but i'm doing my part 🫡 #we're gonna get some whimsy in there or die trying #oh i also got one of those adorable fluffy bear onesies it was like ten dollars! #it could be classified as beige but its more of a warm yellowy brown so its not too depressing lol #anyway i dont get the sad beige aesthetic at all #im not even 100% sure she did it on purpose idk she has absolutely no taste lol #everything she wears is also neutral colors and her home is generally decorated extremely boring and colorless also #possibly because neutrals go with everything? or maybe she just hates color idk #and also all patterns and shapes #and that's fine for an adult but kids need mental stimulation and like....fun lol #so im trying to introduce some as subtly and inoffensively as possible lol #bc her registry was so sad #even the sheets were gray and the diaper bag was black #but the blue i picked matches the hat and the other blue onesie perfectly so its an approved color and im just trying to include more of it

wanted to draw something pretty and/or funny for my best boy's special day, but i'm lazy so here's a low-effort stupid meme i found on pinterest instead

#no offense to salieri (or his fans) #i'm pretty sure amadeus got it wrong #and him and wolfie were actually good friends or at least got on well together #gotta rep my birthday twin one way or another #no joke like literally his is on the 27th and mine is on the 28th #so ig not technically “twin” twins but it's pretty darn close enough #we are literally SOULMATES and don't try to tell me i'm wrong bc i'm not #classical music #mozart #wolfgang amadeus mozart #mozart's birthday #composer birthday #happy birthday mozart

Bruce never denies that he’s concerned Selina will cheat on him with one of her Bachelorette Party guests, so I’m guessing he found out that she invited her ex-girlfriend Eiko.

Bonus:

#eiko hasigawa #selina kyle #catwoman #batcat #jason todd #bruce wayne #the joke in the last panel is that jason had spent all $150k on a favor for bruce as a secret wedding present #and now bruce is bankrupting him by demanding a refund #it's very funny to me how it's always jason he asks to do the worst jobs #i mean this isn't as bad as what he asked jason to do in future state for no pay whatsoever #but being asked to spy on selina is a pretty raw deal #anyway i don't totally understand how casual eiko and selina's interactions are in prelude to the wedding #since i'm pretty sure they were on REALLY BAD terms at the time??? #like they hadn't made up since almost fighting to the death in catwoman 46 right #i feel like the writer might have just made a list of female supporting characters in selina's current solo comic #especially because their reunion in the current catwoman run was very emotionally tense #i'm completely overthinking this but that's most of what i do on this website so whatever

"Prince of Egypt" is one of those movies the internet has decided that you're not allowed to hate.

Too bad I do!

#i gave this movie so many chances #and every time around the 10th plague I throw my popcorn at the screen and give up #Act 1 makes a big hairy deal about how awful the murder of children was #then our “good guys” do the same thing in Act 3 and nobody says jack or shit #we just breeze on past it #just one scene where Moses was like “WTF GOD?! This wasn't part of the deal!” would have saved it but they didn't do that #don't give me that “they wanted to be respectful to the source material” crap #A. If you were raised nonreligious like I was you would agree that Exodus us just a badly written story (with no historical basis btw) #and B. I'm pretty sure in the source material RAMSES DROWNED! #Why would you change that??? #I like Stephen Schwartz but the music in this is just a snore too #the animation is beautiful but the tone is all over the place and the jokes are cringe #i just don't fucking like this movie #I just really don't fucking like this movie #if there ever was a “so good it's bad” movie this would be my pic #in that the quality of the animation distracts people from how fundamentally broken the plot and morality is #no really name one other movie where the hero does the same evil thing he denounced the villain for doing #and the movie doesn't even take a breather to point out the hero's hypocrisy #also I don't know I just don't think “god will kill you for what your parents did” is a good thing to put in a movie FOR CHILDREN #your religion has melted your brains and this movie sucks

Decided not to risk it and sliced the other half of the end of the Outrage instead of one of the larger inner pieces. Section number 1 is going to take about 19 hours exactly. I'm going to fix the bed calibration and then put it on at 3pm so it finishes at about 10am tomorrow.

Also, I'm almost done with the JP manuscript for the next two chapters of the GG1 Comic Anthology. These chapters are both honestly kind of rough... I'm debating doing a third chapter just to make up for it lol

#3d printing tag #textpost #Not 100% certain on it because I need to do some research but I think chapter 4 is racist towards Potemkin????? #Chapter 3 is the one with the dog-meat burgers joke and Probably racist Ronald McDonald #The 1990s sure were something!! #Chapter 5 looks like it's a kind of character introduction interlude-type story. The art's pretty good #I'm looking forward to getting past these weird comedic chapters and back into the actual story ones #Comedy's just never been my thing...

the way tiktok rots ppls brains is SO embarrassing. a friend of mine will sometimes bring up some shit she heard off that site and i have to bite my tongue to not be like "that doesn't even sound remotely real"

#never forgetting when we somehow got on the topic of eminem in call #and ppl were (tbh rightfully) ragging his newer rapping style bc he lost it after sobering up #and she mentioned how all he talks abt is getting canceled #and it was so obvious that was just some stupid gen z ''i've never listened to eminem and think this is what this yt man raps about'' joke #and as the resident eminem enjoyer it took everything in me to not go #girl he raps about current events and politics now #like maybe I'M wrong bc i haven't listened to curtain call 2 but i forced myself to listen to music to get murdered to bc i was curious #and wanted to see if he got better (spoiler: not really) and not once did he bring up getting canceled #ne ways today she mentioned wanting to get off birth control #bc she saw ppl on tt saying that getting off ''made them realize they were gay'' #and i'm pretty sure some parts of my brain liquidized and leaked outta my skull #like twitter and tiktok really made ppl lose some critical thinking skills #niyah.txt

I think I'm doing myself a service by inserting a running gag into Triangulum that canonically allows everyone to swear and be gay

#Hayley Writes Triangulum #There was a rat infestation in town #But after they were taken care of; suddenly everyone was able to say fuck #And be gay #(THE JOKE IS DISNEY) #Anyway thank you to Roman for that idea #I'm pretty sure that it was your idea

Just read death in the family and i am flabbergasted and appalled. how could you do this you absolute traitor. You had better eventually fix this

Idk if you are genuinely upset or not, but you look like it, so have a cookie and chill, fam. It's okay. It's just a story.

But sorry fam, this one stays sad. Nothing against Elfman, but this lets me tell the story I want to tell. Yelling at me isn't going to change that. If you don't like the fic, then this is where we part ways.

#ask #anon #look man lisanna was supposed to die for real in canon #and they reversed it for the funsies #I just wanted to keep the tragedy real #to tell the story I wanna tell #for all that juicy character development #and mira and lisanna were more appealing targets for that #nothing against elfman fr #but his death appeased the beast within me #I'm just writing what I wanna write and yall along for the ride #idk what to tell you #or what you expected #besides uhhhh #family in the face of loss is pretty much a major theme here #anyway I don't mean to be rude but I can't tell if you're joking or not anon #so I just want to make sure we all are on the same page here #:)

"In the day time, I'm Andres, just a normal guy with a normal life, but there's something there is something that nobody knows, that I have a secret"

"It's Berlin-"

Perfect, anon! As long as we're watching Disney anyway.

#the whole berlin thing is so annoying #but what's more annoying to me personally is the gradual watering down of Pina's writing (at least regarding lcdp) #I know he's not writing prestige tv and I'm not saying only 'violent' writing is good #and it's not even particularly about Violence or the lack of it. vol 1 was the most violent and the worst writing of his I've seen lmfao #it got insanely stereotypical with his main characters losing their edge #Martín becoming a big no revenge softie in the span of one season #Bogotá becoming a twitter ally #whatever the fuck is happening to Berlin now lol #like compare all of this to the first part of lcdp which had this cold sharpness to it. genuinely uncomfortable scenes that left a bad taste #in your mouth even with no violence #and it was pretty balanced! it did have its fair share of heart and laughter and love and nice vibes #but it was sharp and the characters seemed very real and multidimensional and people seriously capable of harm #they were actual hardened criminals. which is the only thing that makes sense lol. ' #naive characters like Rio who were in for the fun of it got the biggest reality slaps because doing crime on that level wasn’t a joke lol #and that's what gave the show actual tension #and made it fun to watch #now it has this disney element where I just can't believe any of them lmfao. sure we don’t know much but on the very least I don’t believe #Andrés. He's barely a character here. he's like the criminal version of ted lasso #which sure. a show like that could work fine on its own #but remember when the original network was negotiating with Pina on whether a character like Berlin was even appropriate for tv and #swallowable by audiences because how paradoxical and perverse he was? #now he's ladybug
