I'm feeling extra patriotic so here's some reasons to vote for cecil:

He's a win for the gays

He's just a jewish guy who decided to be a radio host

He's a huge part of tumblr history (remember your roots)

He's an eldritch being (sort of)

He's got a husband

And an adopted child

He has a tumblr

AND HE WRITES FANFICS PEOPLE

A few months back was wtnv 10 year anniversary

He can't cook for shit

His style is ummm interesting... it's horrid (lovingly)

But he wears cat ears to work so it's redeemed

He might end up talking about it in an ep

He was queer representation (treated like it was just a normal thing) in a time when it wasn't normalized

He's got a dog and a cat

His dad might be a tree

He will destroy sans with his steel chair

The glow cloud speaks and it says "vote for cecil"

You heard the glow cloud

He's the sexyman

He was one of the ogs and helped build the image of what a tumblr sexyman should be

It will help spread the word of the sherrifs secret police and wtnv

People will finally realize that cecil is NOT THE GOD DAMNED PURPLE EYE

People will be exposed to cecil and know who he is

He helped so much of the lgbt community back then til now and his effects are long lasting

He helped me too

He's everyone's gay uncle

And he unknowingly adopted all of us listeners as well :))

He's just great

#trafficshipping #traffic shipping #trafficblr #I don't know if this needs to be said but: All of these ships are of the fictional characters not CCs #Another thing that I don't know if needs to be said is: Do NOT tag CCs about the polls. Your purpose does not matter. don't bother them #If a CC finds this on their own and wants to engage with it that's fine they can do what they want #Not that I think this tournament will get big enough for that to happen anyway but I am simply prewarning just in case #This is just a silly tournament about block people ships I've decided to make so we can all have some fun as a fandom #So just remember to be nice to other people and their ships. If you see one you don't like simply root for your own ship harder #Also if you do not like this blog or tournament simply blocking this blog will be better for us all

assuming Pokemon isn't planning to be 1:1 with its time periods, but similar... Serena/Calem and Dawn/Lucas could be time travelling besties that's all I'm saying

#pokemon #pokemon z-a #pokemon legends z-a #pokemon legends #pokemon presents #pokemon day #pokemon spoilers #<- i saw some people saying to 'tag spoilers' for the trailer so I GUESS #serena just stop by Japan for a bit on your adventure it'll be funny #actually you know what would be HILARIOUS is if they just use Dawn/Lucas again #god's favoritest protagonist can't catch a break forced to go on time traveling adventures every three years #serena pokemon #trainer serena #calem pokemon #trainer calem #does anyone even care about Calem. I can't even remember what he looks like. Calem fans if you're out there I'm rooting for you #game freak

I think as we grow up, we have to be really conscious of romanticizing the world we grew up in in order to scorn how the next generations are growing up.

Nostalgia isn't inherently bad, but especially in political spaces, be very wary of this idea that there is an Ideal Past we must Harken Back To.

It sucks to feel left behind, but such is the human condition. It isn't bad to feel nostalgic, but that doesn't mean that these new generations are inherently "lost" and "need to be saved (by you)", and I think that is very important to remember and try to be conscious of.

#politics #'the world you grew up in no longer exists' frankly... GOOD! #the world i personally grew up in was scary and lonely and traumatizing. no kid today should STILL be growing up like that #the whole 'nostalgia as a poltical means' is rooted in this idea that... #1) we all grew up in a hegemony 2) we all turned out the same 3) the way we grew up had more privileges afforded to us #and i personally like nostalgia! i like watching videocamera videos from 2005 and looking up super specific shit #but nostalgia does not a good world make #INSERT UMBERTO ECO'S FOURTEEN POINTS ON FASCISM #(though i don't always think nostalgia can lead to this in a political sense there is a fine line) #be very mindful of what motivates nostalgiaposting #is it because people miss childhood and how 'simple' it felt? or is there a different reason that motivates this type of posting? #are you romanticizing childhood to the point you are not remembering your childhood /at all/ but the *idea* of it? #and honestly it is SO jarring when my peers are nostalgic because it's like... we aren't even that old!! #it comes across like... the world is hard and it's getting harder and so we cannot chnage and must wistfully think of the past... #...and to me it comes across as almost... doomerist in how end-stage feelings of nostalgia and hopelessness seen #i feel compassion for the impulse to feel like your old life is over and you need to grieve it... #...but certainly that isn't the younger generations fault? especially because WE are now the ones rasing them and we still yet live #(even at our completely decrepit age of not even close to a mid-life crisis (sarcasm and lighthearted))

Always funny to me when people try to argue that Kairi not liking change is a BAD thing when she has literally saved Sora and Riku because of this multiple times

Kairi is "I can go off on a raft because I can come back later" - she's the one who's willing to leave herself and watch others leave but has as her main goal to be HOME when everything is over

And that's important as fuck in a series where the act of remembering someone, recognizing someone even when everything about them has seemingly changed, can be what saves them

#kingdom hearts #KH is NOT 'let the past die. kill it if you have to' #KH is about growth but it's also about remembering your roots #riku's big arc was remembering that his biggest wish was once 'to protect what matters' ya know? #the most peaceful moment of Xehanort's life was being a kid with his most important person by his side once again

Can we can Cheslov’s story? Who is he? What is he? What happened to the pretty baby boy? 👀👀👀👀

the running joke with Ches is that both in universe and IRL only like 2 people know his actual backstory and every couple years i'll drop a piece of lore that sounds insane and then I won't elaborate on it at all. It's a funny little game that I play <3

What IS canonically known about Ches is as follows:

He is something known as a zduhać, who is a person that can project their soul from their body in their sleep in the form of a "dragon". His dragon is a manifestation of how he felt the day that he died, so it's him but also not? It's messy. His dragon named itself Vasili. Vasili is notoriously an asshole, but Ches' romantic interest Charlie gets him to lighten up.

Time is weird for zduhać bc they don't age while they sleep, and sometimes the line between sleeping and waking gets blurred. Ches was also put in a grave and asleep for 200+ years so he is. A man out of time, to say the least.

He is vaguely slavic; he speaks russian and serbian fluently (english as a verrryyyyy third language, he's only been learning for the last couple years, depending on the timeline. He's also recently started learning a little bit of french!). Though, he has claimed that he is neither russian nor serbian, so no one actually has any idea where the fuck he came from. He literally showed up on Mira's door one day with a letter addressed to her mother asking for help.

He works for Mira now in the bar she runs (as a bartender). Patrons seem to like him a lot - hes very amicable in a 'grandmother telling you stories' kind of way.

He has two living siblings, Alexander (older) and Nadia (younger). He does not seem to get along with either, but ESPECIALLY Alex - he tried to kill Alex on sight once lol.

Lore wise, no one knows for certain exactly what happened to him - how he lost his arm, what happened to his face, etc etc. He doesn't talk about it, nor does he want to. The only thing that is confirmed (and this is fun new lore i dont think i've shared!!!) is that he blames Alex for all of it.

After not seeing each other for a couple centuries, Alex came to Ches to beg for his help. During this reunion (which Charlie had to break up bc it immediately turned into a physical altercation lol), Ches made clear that 1. Alex was somehow responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people and 2. Whatever it was that Alex did, it directly resulted in Ches being tortured, losing his arm and becoming a zduhać.

He has vaguely alluded that he lost him arm and got the scars on his face in separate incidents - apparently the facial scars were "deliberate", implying that someone cut him up on purpose, where the arm loss was "unintentional". Take that as you will.

#shut up bug #bug answers #OC #cheslov #he is sooooooo baby girl. to me #also. not to rat myself out but he and alex used to be resident evil OCs LMAO. theyre entirely detached now i just think its funny #remember your roots etc etc

"when did destiel sex happen for the first time?" i love that i'm living so far in my own obscure deluded doomed by the narrative canon-compliant version of surprisingly wholesome but tragic destiel that the only right answer isn't even an option on polls: stanford era.

#deancas #it's like. #you're in a car with an ugly old angel and he looks at you like he has loved and known you for years but you just met #and he wont tell you that he's hiding something from you but he's hiding something from you #and he reaches over and you let him hit bc you're lonely and he's saying all the things you wish your father told you #like he discovered a belief in a future where you'll have eye crinkles and your brother at your side and a home with your own bedroom #and you feel your heart taking root in your body until one day you wake up with a headache and no memory of him or the past 2 months at ALL #and you never have time to wonder about it bc its october 2005 and you have 327 episodes of horrors ahead of you #and they all happen exactly like they do on screen. destiel was real but it was also dead before the story even started #(other than that they only had sex in purgatory which dean came to regret bc it made him realize he's not into cas like that #and he had only invited him to his benny fuckfest bc they're friends and it seemed rude not to) #and dean never ever learns that they once were lovers. and for cas there's nothing to remember bc it hasnt happened to him yet #its beautiful. to me. #also slightly embarrassing for me as a person but nevermind that

i just want people to know that just because your content doesn’t get many notes, doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile. there is someone out there, a living breathing human being, who appreciates it, whose day it made that little bit brighter, and who admires what you do. nothing is a ‘flop’ if it made one person happy.

#i feel like i talk about this a lot #and that doesn't mean that notes aren't necessarily important #because i really do understand as a creator how depressing it is to feel like you aren't getting recognition for your work #and that comes through notes #but i think it can also be true that we fixate on notes too much #and actually getting 1000 likes means nothing if people aren't engaging with your content #and by that i mean leaving comments and reblogging to share it #it's so sad that creators feel like they can't create what they want bc it's not the tumblr fixation rn #and they don't want to put the time and energy into creating something now that simply won't get the love it deserves #but it's important to remember that there really are people out there who love what you do #and surrounding yourself with people who uplift you can be rewarding in itself #(this is mostly a reminder for me bc i'm feeling uninspired lately and i think the root of it is tumblr's current quiet spot lol)
