#There's no argument here

[heritageposts]

I was looking at some of Bashar Murad's old music videos (he's a queer Palestinian artist), and....

7th of August, 2021...

#warning to the liberals here: i have *zero* patience left for whatever recycled lesser evil argument you feel compelled to make #read the room #anyway... #free palestine #palestine #gaza #israel #bashar murad #tamer nafar #that's tamer in the picture btw not bashar

Good Morning, World.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #'Good Morning World' because to wwx the jiang household is what grounds him. It is his burrow and blanket. #The familiar soup and banter is his home. The familiar arguments and tension are also his home. #Notice how quickly he throws LWJ to the side once he has JC back in reach! 'He was so boring; I wish *you* were there!' #WWX is very quick to constantly remind himself that he fits within a very specific power structure and role. #He pushes boundaries but almost always only the boundaries that he knows he can push against. #Sitting here now and realizing that if WWX did take life more seriously and act more diligent he would totally usurp JC. #Because the contrast with Them (tm) is wwx is the one that gets in trouble and JC is the one that sticks to the rules. #That responsible appearance especially in contrast is the thin line that holds JC's self-esteem together. #And lets be fully honest. From JC's perspective the last week was also extremely intense and stressful. #It truly was a feat to travel so far so fast despite also being exhausted. Never knowing if it is all in vain. #JC said with his actions 'I would move mountains for you and dig through stone with my bare hands if it meant reaching you.' #and WWX said '[read]' #It's about wwx chronically asking 'why would someone care for me? I'm always tool to be used' than accepting that people love him.

while i get where this comes from and it’s true to an extent, i reeeaaaally don’t like how people try to explain “trans men don’t [necessarily] have male privilege” with things like “some trans men don’t pass”.

like sure that’s the most obvious example (someone who is seen as a woman won’t have the privilege that comes with being seen a man) but you’re still acting like being a passing trans man is just a free opt-in to male privilege which is………kinda the issue.

#personal #ohh don’t be weird on my post please this is just on my mind #i’ve seen it so many times just in the last few days #like yeah a passing trans man receives more benefits than anyone who’s seen as a woman #and i’m sure most people making those arguments DO understand that it’s not that simple #but very few people engaging in these kinds of discussions in good faith would argue that someone seen as a woman has male privilege #(note: VERY FEW people engaging in GOOD FAITH) #i see people be like ‘everyone thinks all trans men pass’ and like…….WHO is thinking that who’s also gonna listen to you here #maybe it’s just my grew-up-in-a-conservative-religious-environment thing but your experience is not universal #i would also like you to consider whether ‘anyone that looks like a man has male privilege’ is consistent with your other views #1k #(oh god guys please)

list of hermits i would consider to be supervillains:

doc. his whole aesthetic is "german mad scientist". he is the flavor of mad scientist who cackles about trying to take over the world but is very easily distracted by a cute cat and really just wants an excuse to use his doomsday devices.

tango. he is a cartoon character crossed with saw (so like... yami yugi by way of doofinshmirtz?). he wants to make death games and also would squeak if you hit him with an anvil.

grian. in his defense these days he's trying to be less of one, he just has a reputation.

cleo. in their defense these days they're trying to be more of one, and also grian took the blame for the civil war so REALLY they could be getting away with more around here,

scar. look he seems like the harmless huckster/scam artist but scar I REMEMBER YOUR SOCK PUPPET ALIEN. I REMEMBER YOU IMPLYING TO DOC'S FACE YOU FED THE NHO TO IT. WHAT THE FUCK,

cub. he's the mastermind. he's the quiet twist villain who isn't actually a twist at all. he just wants to see the world burn. he'll do this while going "haha, cool man :)". terrifying.

#hermitcraft #feel free to add additional arguments #i am just rotating the supervillains here

why is it that the kind of people who often choose to host heated poll battles are almost always the kinds of people who can not handle being exposed to opinions than their own. it's like judging a cake bake off except you can't eat sugar.

#you go to the op of one of those polls and they're five anons deep in an argument about the reclaiming of slurs like what HAPPENED here.

saw someone argue that the central defining feature of fanfiction is its attention to proper characterisation. man I don’t think you’ve read very much fanfiction

#I think you end up with these idealistic arguments when you don’t define fanfiction #in relationship to intellectual property law. like that actually is its central defining characteristic & this definition doesn’t make any #claims about quality or content or style (or characterisation) because all of those are variable #so I’m being kind of mean here because I think the op was just trying to describe a relationship between fanfiction and the source material #without grounding it in history or law. so you end up with these silly normative claims about what goes on in fanfiction #anyway not going to link the post I’m referencing because the person was just being mildly annoying on a post of mine #and I was being nosy on their blog. I was just caught way off guard by that argument because like. lol #fandom discussion

Do you know how much media has been produced in the last decade? This really was the era of overstimulation where you never really could watch all the stuff there was.

So when people complain that TV will be bad now, so? Go back and watch all the stuff that's just rotting on streaming platforms it's not like it's 2007 and linear TV is your only option.

But most importantly just support the strike so that the people who make all the stuff you like can keep making it :)

#I'm not even from the US but I find this argument so irritating in the age of streaming #so what if entertainment sucks we literally just had a so called golden age of television it's not like theres nothing to watch #support the wga #writers strike #wga strike #also tbh I wonder if writers in Germany have a similar union bc maybe ir would do the entertainment business here good to have one

Ohio republicans trying to hold an election they hoped would go unnoticed in order to deny Ohioans simple majority rule (changing it from 50% to 60% majority), only for it to be one of the highest voter turnouts for an August election ever in the state AND the votes against them being 60%+ anyway? Lol. Lmao even.

#politics #literally the only arguments I saw in favor of the issue was 1) people outside Ohio are gonna make our laws #(what the fuck are you talking about) #2) if you don’t pass this then they’re gonna trans your children!! #(ACTUALLY what the fuck are you talking about) #baffling how repubs keep going with the trans angle here where it’s now failed for…3 high profile elections in a row? #I hope they keep doing it though. keep slamming your thick heads into that wall!! ha!!! #this state is still so fucked up but ooooh this victory is sweet

DRACULA SMACKDOWN ROUND 1 MATCH 8: David Powers (The Lost Boys) vs. Bunnicula (Bunnicula)

PROPAGANDA FOR DAVID:

“He's a long shot, I know, but his method of turning via seduction is very similar to original drac. He's also bisexual coded like book drac, and has a harem essentially”

PROPAGANDA FOR BUNNICULA:

“Tbh I hated this book as a child but the themes of invasion by a stranger/foreigner are present here as well as in the og Dracula. Also I think it would be funny to see a rabbit in the poll”

#david powers #the lost boys #david the lost boys #kiefer sutherland #bunnicula #dracula smackdown #dracula #dracula daily #i was gonna ban david from the competition but i respect the argument here

Boba: Look, Jedi, I don’t like you and you don’t like me--

Luke: I like you.

Boba: But Djarin is head over heels for you. So, know, if you break his heart--

Luke: I should suffer for eternity and die alone

Boba: I...yes?

Luke: Cause he is amazing and if I do anything I don’t deserve anything except torture.

Boba: I’m the one trying to do the shovel talk here

Luke: I don’t deserve him so I need to appreciate him and how lucky I am to have him in my life.

Boba: Damn, kid, you ok?

Luke: You’re a great friend. I am so happy he has you. I made you a friendship bracelet as a promise to never hurt Din but you don’t have to wear it.

Boba....

(Later)

Boba: Djarin, if you ever break this kid’s heart I am going to destroy you.

Din: He gave you a friendship bracelet huh?

Boba: (covered in twenty of them) Not the point, shut-up.

#star wars #the mandalorian #dinluke #everyone loves Luke #i won't take arguments #luke will also give himself his own shovel talk #so will din #but this isn't about him #boba would kill for Luke #is makes din very happy #i feel like i did a post like this a year ago #did not bother to confirm #here is possibly version 2

FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.

dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.

(via @closetoyou1970)

#spn #vid #mind the warnings on this one for real #woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye. #pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl. #also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise #anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator #is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else #and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters #that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's #not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under #alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does #because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it #so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way #i am using them to make my argument. #oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to. #i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through #into everything in his life #that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.
