i do think that despite being the squad's designated nerds, kon and bart struggle to watch lotr together because kon physically CANNOT stop infodumping through any of the movies (and of course they have to watch the extended editions only), but bart's like. you want me to sit in one place and watch one screen for 12 fucking hours. and on top of that you WON'T SHUT UP the ENTIRE TIME? i already can't focus on movies and you TALK THROUGH THE WHOLE THING? im going to fucking bite you--

#rimi talks #i like to hand bart my personal flavor of adhd as in ''it is physically painful to watch a movie-- #--without mental preparation. stimulants. and something to fidget with'' #in some cases someone talking through a thing can make it easier for me to watch it but in others im like broooo shut up 😭 #bc sometimes i just can't get into a story or focus on it if someone keeps interrupting and i have to split my attention!!! #and i think handing that to bart. well it fits. movies make you sit in one place for a longass time and im not even a speedster #meanwhile kon gets neurodivergence brand ''this is one of my hyperfixations/special interests and if i don't tell you everything i know-- #--about it ever at every single opportunity i WILL explode and die on the spot''. which. is also me during lotr marathons #not only will my friends know about the shaving cream used for the caradhras scenes. #they will know about the significance of celebrimbor and narvi's friendship when we see the gates of moria #and i WILL be talking balrog lore even after gandalf is already down the pit and we're in lothlórien #(obligatory break to quote ''a balrog of morgoth.'' ''what did you say?'' @ celeborn tho) #kon #bart

What Deacon thinks: what did that mean? did he want me to wear a collar too? why else would he mention my neck? i mean, if he /asked/ me i would wear one but he didn't so would wearing one be weird?

What Ymber meant: It's nice to be near someone who isn't tethered to this world to serve it with a physical reminder for all to see.

#my characters #this just in ! thats why all the deities in the plot have collars and a chain ! #its because THATS THEIR DESIGNATED I AM HERE TO HELP THIS WORLD SYMBOL #they cant remove their collars and thats fine by them - its a constant reminder that they exist to serve #deacon really shouldnt get as much crap as he gets in canon for being weird cause the deities are just a different brand of weird #like its not deacons fault that apparently you can say nice neck with no underlying desire #but he cant say hi would you please possess me i want to know what its like to have someone else in my body #like thats really not something you should pin on deacon YET EVERY deity is like wow what a lil weirdo #he also just really wants to please ymber so if ymber asked he would definitely do whatever #on the flip side i need to point out that deacon very specifically doesnt ask ymber for things nor does he pray for things #and it drives ymber up a wall because this is his favorite human who wont ask for anything and he isnt a psychic #he doesnt know what deacon wants or needs and its infuriating cause he exists to serve humanity #and yet this ONE GUY wont let him do things for him #this is very important and i cant believe i mentioned it like a month ago to someone and today #i received gift art of these two and i may never recover #its so perfect and its ymber just looming over deacon telling him that he can pray about anything to him #its also worth pointing out that when i was telling the person about the whole ymber begging for a prayer #its because he realizes that after all this time hes never had a single prayer from deacon - not before nor after the hire #so hes like oh well thats odd hmm #and then begins to talk to deacon like you know people pray to me for lots of things #and deacon looks at him unsure of what this is leading to - did someone offer a weird prayer? ask a weird thing? whatst? #and no - its just ymber saying that people will pray for wealth or an item #or they will express frustration if something is lost or broken despite it not being ymbers fault so deacon just stares #he has no idea what this is going to end on really so he points out 'well you do like to think you break people' #and ymber just ASDFASDFSADF STOP OK NEXT POINT people pray to me to bless relationships with happiness #and thats fascinating so deacon is like wow can you actually do that? #and ymber is so stressed as hes like i mean kinda i can simply amplify the positive emotions in gestures #like if someone gives an item out of love then its blessed #he also admits that he cant mask insincerity or malice so those feelings are not hidden nor amplified #and deacon just is impressed bc that is actually VERY cool

The Animorphs fandom is really chill, which is nice. But there's one post about the reprint covers and whenever anyone tries to explain that Scholastic was trying to appeal to contemporary kids/visual branding/the covers weren't that bad, a dude is just freaking out over and over with the most bad faith/cherry picking arguments, and I think he thinks he's "owning" everybody, but it has gone from annoying to just plain funny that he's got his head so far up his ass.

#like ah yes you don't understand visual branding and now you're loud and angry about it #something something people are loud when they want to sound smart #my fave is when someone's like 'they didn't reprint these for old fans. they wanted new fans' and the guy is like WHAT KID WOULD PICK THESE #based on my time in a middle school.... the new covers were preferred by kids lol #the lenticular covers honestly weren't that bad but he purposefully keeps on reposting the in-between photos of it where ofc it looks bad #wait'll somebody tells him about the graphic novels #oh shit I think he might've just gotten silenced in the group #nice dude #Animorphs

#u know what i just realized?? #sometimes when i talk about top surgery #or talk about binding #there are people who try to convince not to do it?? #like some time ago when I first mentioned wanting top surgery #someone said “just get breast reduction” or “no don't do it i love butch boobs” #or recently i was asking good brands for chest binding #and people were telling me how itll harm my chest #or “it'll damage your ribs and lungs” #give me blisters and peel my skin off #like first of all that was not what i asked and second of all i know the dangers in binding #but the dangers in binding is not going to stop myself from wanting a flat chest #for wanting top surgery #i dont understand why but the people that follow me get so weird with me about top surgery and binding #and me being a butch lesbian that wants a flat chest/top surgery #y'all gotta remember im transmasc so this is really important to me #ive done tons of research about chest binding and top surgery #i know what im doing and you're not gonna convince me otherwise #just let me do my thing 😭 #anyways that's what I realized

Pro tip: if you have nothing nice to say about something perfectly harmless someone is having fun with, try shutting the fuck up

#Sunny Life #what special brand of miserable fuck do you have to be to go directly up to someone's face and tell them how much their work sucks

vasseur's behaviour recently baffles me bc charles spoke so highly of him recently, saying that he's exactly the type of principal he needed after the one we shall not mention. also charles was literally his golden sauber child that got him points even with a B list car. i dont know why they make so questionable decisions recently and prioritize carlos over charles even in scenarious where charles would make more sense to be the #1 priority.

PREACH. like... charles speaking so highly of fred back in august made sense. sure, fred had been a little sus, but growing pains and faith and all that. charles continuing to be glowing in praise in october, after The Horrors™? makes less sense. like sure, this is around the same time that charles told espn (austin) that the car is being developed in his direction and next year's project is looking good, etc. so it could just be part of charles' overall branding and the image he is/was cultivating as being faithful and supportive of the team. i don't really think charles would lie about supporting fred though, so...

anyway but as to fred: he baffles me too. literal sauber golden child may or may not have hand-selected you to be team principle for ferrari and you... squander him? he seems sensible and ready to throw down for charles sometimes. other times he sounds like he's giving the company's line in interviews. did the politics get to him?? is there a plan in there somewhere?? is it all just laying the groundwork to have a huge marvelous turn around in 2024??

#fred vasseur be acting sus #i honestly dont know to what degree team principles have control over like...operations and brand image shit #especially in ferrari #toto and christian seem more in control than fred does #so maybe he's just up against contrary forces / the messaging is out of his hands #or maybe he's a sneaky political operator and willing to toe the line in the name of peace/influence #i NEED someone to write a tell all on ferrari #i need to know the tea #i need netflix in their walls getting everything #i need a spicy dramatic autobiography #*oracles #ferrari civil war 2023 #mexico gp 2023 #well #brazil gp 2023 #i am unclear on the time on this asfkasf

#this feels terribly asinine and vague with all the free-verse rambling #but purple prose with incomprehensible mythological psychobabble is the one sin i won't repent for #came up with this based on like the connection of lucifer being associated with the planet venus = aprodite ? #so like hence the cupid reference and areia (which is like aphrodite's epithet meaning 'warlike') #the vague idea is being half in love and half deeply hating someone who's beyond saving #so you want to break away from the lies you tell yourself and the dreams you live in and . kill them essentially #physically or metaphorically... let your god(s) decide #also 'lavender mist' is like the lavender haze slang but that's so taylor swift coded #and we are living in the era of crisis on all fronts for the ts romance brand #oh yea and like lavender/lilies being nature themed and like. #like. nature = dreams and delusions vs divinity in the interpersonal #what am i even talking about anymore... #my poetry #mine

I love all of these goofy product photos where the water bottle is extremely obviously just photoshopped onto a stock image of someone pretending to hold something or whatever.. very convincing..

#the last one where the water bottle is like nearly the size of the woman's entire leg ghbjbjhh #ALSO I know.. gross.. nasty.. amazon.. I was only looking there because I was trying to find an exact replica of an old water bottle #I bought like 6 years ago in a store and I just wanted another one of those and it seemed like the only place the old manufacturer #still sold was through amazon but.. alas.. I think they just don't make them anymore. so I have abandoned my hunt #I didn't actually buy anything. but I did get distracted clicking through product images for a few of them #it's bizarre how like............... idk.. WHY is this done??? Isn't this offputting to basically ANY potential customer?? or do people #not look at every photo/read the entire page/all product information before buying?? #all of these are from like front page ''top sellers'' or whatever like........... how does this not hurt the brand???? #If the company can't even bother to take a single photo of a real life person using their real life product then... that to me #is kind of red flaggy..?? even if you're an indie start up small business with hardly any funds.. still #A real photo of the product you are selling in a real actual non-photo shopped environment does not seem that inacessible #Maybe it's because everyone does everything on phones now?? So it's harder to see the pictures when they're smaller? #Kind of the same thing with ai art and also hair color photoshops lol.. On my full comptuer screen it is SOOO easy to spot ai art #like IMMEDIATELy from the little tells and ways certain details morph into each other etc. I dont even mean obvious dalle mini stuff but #like the Fancy High Quality Photorealistic AI art is still pretty blatant 98% of the time if you know what to look for. But I still catch #people sharing it a lot like 'omg where can I buy this pair of shoes!! :O <3' .. erm you cannot.. that is the most balatantly fake looking #pair of shoes I have seen in my life hhjbj.. the heels are both different heights. there's a different number of straps on each one. etc. #AND that phase back before colored hair was Mainstream and people would post photos like 'omg going to bring this to the salon!! dream hair #and it's like.. you can LITERALLY see the parts where it's 'colored outside of the lines' and is so clearly just a person with blond hair #that someone drew over with a tint brush or something not even very neatly. etc. etc. ANYWAY.. Maybe with phones it's harder to tell these #things?? To me so much of it is instantly recognizable and it's suprising to me that people either don't notice or don't care and will #interact with it anyway by buying the product or acting like some ai art fake furniture is real or etc. etc. ..hewwoo #Aslo sidenote - I think I've become soo cynical and tired of constantly being advertised to that I literally cannot shop without getting #exhausted. I do not see how marketing is anything but obnoxious and transparent. Every item description having stuff like ''Our company is #commited to bringing you the highest quality water products! we set out with a mission to bring high quality products to people all over #the world and we believe in spreading health and happiness and'' just like SHUT THE HELL UP!! youre a fucking company #you don't ''beleive'' in anything you are here to sell a product. stop trying to talk like you're my bff who cares deeply about my health #or something just tell me the materials and product specifications of your stupid fucking water bottle and move on. Idont need to hear your #whole bullshit spiel about what ~your company stands for~ that is SO much MORE offputting. you make me want to buy the item LESS.. #longing for the type of ads from my 1800s magazines that are just like 'this product is good. please buy it. okay thank you much. bye'

Sonic (the character) is not hard to understand & he doesn't have some deep hidden secret self . . . I think people overthink him a lot.

#he doesn't mask or hide his emotions #''but he doesn't cry—'' bc some people are just not easy public criers #(& also bc Sega needs their brand mascot to look happy & confident for brand reasons) #he might not pull a Forrest Gump & tell ppl abt his life story while waiting for the bus #but if someone asks 100% he'd have no problem sharing bc . . . he doesn't care lol #what you see is what you get!! there's no facade!! he's a very open person #sure you have to know him & also. yknow. ask. but he doesn't hide stuff #idk i think Sonic being the main character intimidates ppl into overthinking #but he is a very easy guy to understand #and he does not have hidden angst. bc he does not care abt his past. #he traded all his fucks for some chili dogs & moved on #sonic the hedgehog

Beginning to wonder if my hip may be subluxing??

#and of course i cant really look it up bc all the pages are like ouch!!! so painful!!! when ive had my shoulders do it unnoticed for years #tonight is a heating pad (brand new just bought 5 minutes ago 👀) and epsom salts kind of night #it's like. pain in my hip and knee and entire lower back which reminds me of what i felt when my shoulder was fully subluxing #i cant tell whats going on and all i know is i intended to sleep it off and that did NOT happen #ive slept off migraines but this isn't stopping :/ #hoatm rants #🖤chronic illness tag🤍 #ehlers danlos syndrome #hypermobile ehlers danlos #yeah I'll put this here too in case it ends up finding someone who might have more experience with this U_U

I’ve seen a few people in the TAD fandom talk about how good a TAD/Hozier collab would be, and here’s the thing. Y’all aren’t wrong! It would be absolutely incredible!

But if I may suggest a slightly more unhinged collab idea for your consideration:

The Amazing Devil and Mariana’s Trench

Hear me out! For some reason I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what it would sound like if Joey Batey and Joshua Ramsey were locked in a room and forced to write a song together. Cuz here’s the thing? I have no idea what that would sound like! But I do know that it would be life-changing and chaotic, and would completely destroy me emotionally, and would include an unnecessary number of classic lit references! And what more can you ask of a song?

Like! I am begging yall to listen to Echos of You and The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace side by side! Do the songs sound anything alike? Absolutely not! But that’s not what it’s about!

It’s about the strategic mid-song emotional/musical whiplash! It’s about simultaneously being haunted and doing the haunting! It’s about being aware that you’re not mentally healthy and reveling in it! It’s about 19th century poets! It’s about being monstrous! PLEASE listen to this shit!

Echos of You

The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace

Are you going to tell me that the line

“But the notes of an old refrain still ring louder everyday/ From a little to a manic, a cacophony, a frantic/ A relentless refrain is the only thing that remains”

doesn’t sound EXACTLY like some shit Joey Batey would write? Or that

“Where you see weakness, I see wit/ sometimes I fall to pieces just to see what bits of me don’t fit/”

and

“We’ll dance together, so close we’re sharing breath/ but now I’m leading doesn’t that just scare you to death,”

wouldn’t fit perfectly in an Edgar Allen Poe themed album?? Of course not, because you’d be blatantly incorrect!!!

Anyway, please listen to both of these songs/albums and help me manifest this.

#mine #the amazing devil #tad #mariana's trench #I'm aware literally no one asked #you can specifically blame #soundsfaebutokay #for this particular rant #(in fairness though I've been stewing on this one for a WHILE) #now I know what you're thinking #'Suzy what's it like being so right all the time? Is it hard?' #and I'm here to tell you that it may be a burden... but it's a burden I'm willing to bear. #lmao #anyway I really have put a lot of unnecessary thought into this hypothetical collab so please enjoy some thoughts and theories: #for example: they would base the entire song around a specific work of classic lit #that's the obvious part. the fun part is theorizing which one it would be. #my money would be on either #A Midsummer Night's Dream #or a Bronte novel (probably Wuthering Heights tbh. The Moors (tm) are very on-brand for both bands lol) #other theories: someone would teach themselves how to play a new instrument for no reason. No one asked them to do that. but they did. #for some reason my heart says that the harp would be involved #I'm aware I sound fully insane at this point #I am way too deep into this hypothetical song #but such is life when your brain decides we'll only be thinking about one thing for the rest of the day

It is frankly alarming how often I will see somebody make a post along the lines of "Why is everybody so mean to me all the time!!" and then their page is just full of nothing but them constantly insulting strangers for no reason

I am not sure if they:

Think they are playfighting with people instead of just Actually Being Rude, so they are genuinely surprised when the other person rightfully gets angry at them [because they are a stranger who has just approached them aggressively for seemingly no reason in a way that does not read as joking]

Are aggressive because they already believe The World Is Shit And Everybody Sucks And WILL Be Mean To Them Inevitably, so they are rude first so they can at least feel good about getting the first hit in. And this just becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, because if you believe everyone sucks and is cruel, and then you do something to PROVOKE aggression from everyone you speak to right off the bat, and so then they are thus aggressive towards you...well, uh, Indeed Everyone You Talk To Will Not Be Nice To You, then.

Are viewing themself as some kind of martyr who is somehow making the world a better place by trying to drag down random strangers over stupid harmless shit, and they are frustrated that nobody realizes what Good And Noble Work [They Think] They Are Doing by, like, telling everyone they see with a Homestuck pfp to kill themselves or something

Genuinely just have no self-awareness and/or do not grasp the concept that if you say mean things to somebody on the internet they may say mean things back to you

Are trolling

#Sometimes I click around on random blogs outside of the small cluster of people I follow #And I run into this type of thing at least once like almost every time #.It speaks #??? #The world becomes a much nicer place when you are nice or at least polite to new people you meet instead of immediately dogging on them #Especially over stupid shit! #I cannot tell you how many times I see someone start a brand new interaction with a stranger JUST to shame them for having like... #...a character they don't like/a character from a piece of media they don't like as their pfp or something #''Hi random stranger I just NEED you to know I think you are gross and cringe for having a Lusamine Pokemon pfp :) Have a horrible day'' #WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? #That is NOT the same thing as calling out genuinely harmful behaviour. What do you think you are doing. #Anti-Lusamine Tumblr Activism achieves LITERALLY nothing except making both you and the other guy's day worse #I promise you do NOT need to do that. You will be significantly less miserable if you do not do that. #You do NOT need to get into a fight and stress yourself out over that
