Me watching that same white lgbt friend get into every current problematic media then get defensive and nervous when i bring up how its bigoted.

#levi speaks #pro tip: maybe if you find yourself drawn to bigoted/problematic media repeatedly #thats a sign thats theres something bigoted within yourself drawing you to it #maybe some internalized shit or a bigotry havent addressed yet #however you wanna complain about critical consumption and all that bs but its sus when you come up liking lots of racist media #especially if your white and doing that #like im goyim but i have family affected by the holocaust #the friend who sparked this post is also white and goyim #but his family is mostly from cuba and england #im bringing up stranger things is anti semitic and how netflix endorsed that airbnb in a holocaust cell fiasco #and hes bringing up how the directors and actors dont like the fact people are getting the tattoos on twitter #like both things are a problem bitch stop watching it #if your only watching stranger things season 2 at this point you must of not liked it that much in the first place #and can therefore stop #racism #he worries me and so dose another one of my closest irl friends #like... its not like im asking for what they are currently into and bombarding them with info #if they bring it up and i know something gross about the show and/or its creators im gonna bring it up #its my responcibility as an activist and as an enjoyer of fandom/media to not like gross people get by

Rewatching succession it really is wild to see Kendall and Shiv convince themselves over and over again that they can "fix ATN/Waystar from the inside" only to completely abandon their morals the minute it gives them a strategic advantage.

When they're on the outside it's an endless diatribe about how evil and rotten the company is to its core, but the second they get the slightest whiff of power they suddenly decide the problems are actually really manageable and that with the right leadership it could be a force for good, and like...the saddest part is that they genuinely seem to believe that.

#where's that crime and punishment quote about how the worst thing is that you've betrayed yourself for nothing... #and they really seem to think its true! they genuinely believe that they can turn it around and make it good! it's not an act! #kendall really thinks he's a feminist and 'one of the good ones' and shiv really does think she stands with/for women and liberal #ideals and the truth is that no matter how much they might care about those things they will always love power more and they #are infinitely more invested in the power structures that keep injustice alive than they are in actually trying to stop injustice #roman is the only one who's actually aware and honest about how fucked it all is but he thinks that means everything's bullshit and #therefore nothing matters. which can be just as dangerous as convincing yourself you're the good guy (see: america decides) #that's one of the things i like so much about the ending for shiv and kendall bc they're finally forced to confront the lies they've been #telling themselves. and like. maybe that'll go nowhere. maybe they won't change. but they might. and the only hope they have #of actually growing as people and maybe doing something good is if that illusion gets shattered #idk man i just have so many thoughts about succession #succession #shiv roy #kendall roy

wait hold up did everyone suddenly become OK with saying anything about Heckuva Badshow that isn't completely unearned praise/did everyone only start mocking viv's mind-numbingly juvenile writing style WHILE I WAS GONE???

you bastards

i have a STOCKPILE of burns i thought i'd never get to use because too many people were still willing to roleplay as mr burns' hounds on her behalf or simply report back to base camp so she could scream SICCEM before insisting she is but a tender wee lamb who needs protection from The Haters while turning on her white woman tears and calling her connections demanding they not give someone a job bc they didn't laugh when she spent an entire workday following them around going PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! FUCK! SEX! PENIS! ASS! FUCK! PENIS! HAHAHAHA! GET IT? PENIS, the FUCK ORGAN, lol, PENIS EXIST! REMEMBER? IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE PENIS! You know, like in Sausage Party? the best comedy film ever made? the one i made a nazi oc for? wait what huh who said that was it the wind shut up anyway PENIS PENIS PENIS Poor Person Supremacists Are Real and Just As Bad As Bad as Aristocrats Who Strangle Their......... Indentured Servants Bc Their Wife Is Being Bitchy PENIS PENIS PENIS COCK WANG DICK SCHLONG WILLY WANG WONG WOMEN ARE STUPID WHOOOOOOORES AND FAT PEOPLE ARE DISGUUUUUSTING! LOSE WEIGHT OR YOU ARE GROSS! THE BAD KIND OF GROSS, UNLIKE THE GOOD GROSS OF SKINNY CIS DICK DICK PENIS PENIS HORSE WEINER SEMEN! YAOI YAOI YAHOOOOOOO oohhMy Cartoon Dad is Sooooo Sad..... so sad, he is like Bojack, only instead of Herb being a total bitch, he and everyone else magically instantly forgives MY bojack without him even giving a proper apology, so he's like, an IMPROVED Bojack, that's how good MY writing is..... so good... so genius... genius like Penius... maverick, more like... maver-dick.... yeah that's it... i'm such a shakeup in the world of Mature Dialogue... Cocktopus... Lesbian Named Vagina.... Clittorissa clit slit penis jizzlord squirt.... oh man Look at my Sad Cartoon Dad Again... Look How Sad he is... Please Say You Want to Fuck Him... Please Fuck My Cartoon Dad.... While I Watch... Let Me Watch You Fuck My Cartoon Dad..... With Your PENIS! LOL! PENIS PENIS PENIS PEE-

hey yeah okay this is turning into a rough draft of bit in and of itself already huh i should stop and dig out the Good Stuff vs just doing a bad viv impression that still manages to be funnier than an entire season plus of scripts combined

#her writing style is just too easy to mock once you start its VERY hard to stop #because yknow. it's easy. it's easy to do it. because the OG writing itself is easy. it's lazily written and therefore can be lazily aped. #if you didn't want this style of critique to happen you shoulda come up with at least One joke distinct enough to be Worth Quoting #you know like come up with a single bit so good it can then have its goodness ruined by overexposure as people parrot it exactly ad nauseum #instead of 'nearly every manifestation of comedy is just a variation of throwing fuckwords in randomly so that's all i have to do' #that's why any additional effort becomes noticeable gravy on this bed of under-cooked half-mashed potatoes #almost like there is learned craft to writing and she shoulda absorbed some instead of deciding she was too good to benefit from feedback #oop

it’s cool that trans men are always shoved aside in favor of cis women when it comes to people mocking our bodies. it’s so cool when specifically transmasc bodies are being degraded and someone says “and what about cis women who have had a mastectomy!!!” like it only matters that the cruel words could hurt some random woman and not that they’re hurting transmascs already. it’s so cool that i can just be scrolling and see graphic surgery imagery because people are trying to make a point that our bodies are mutilated and not caring that all surgeries look nasty. it’s so cool i love the world we live in

#transandrophobia #transphobia // #tired of insults towards trans men only mattering when they could also affect cis women LOL #like yes it sucks that a cancer patient who had a mastectomy might see transphobes calling transmascs with top surgery scars zippertits and #mutilated and ruined but it’s not about this hypothetical woman it’s about us #they think we’re ruined women and therefore we’re disgusting #it’s about us! stop making it about them! it’s not! #you can admit that transmascs are actually targeted by transphobia it wont kill you!!!

[eleanor-gray]

Callisto referring to Gabrielle as “the friendship of your life” when talking to Xena is so funny to me. Did they switch it from “love” at the last minute? Was this sentence scientifically engineered to sound as gay as possible or did it just happen? Was this just a common phrase in the 90s?

#xena warrior princess #xena and gabrielle #I need to do my homework and stop thinking about them #Btw the full quote is “the friendship of your life is about to go up in flames” #Because Callisto was about to kill Gabrielle in the same way Callisto’s family was killed #She really is my favorite villain bc of the ethical questions she raises about Xena and how Xena can so clearly see how similar they are #‘If you do good you are good’ but also doing good means taking responsibility for everything you’ve done #So therefore Xena can never consider herself to be a good person because to do so means denying her past #Therefore making her eternally ‘bad’ in her own eyes #if this makes any sense to anyone

He’s right behind me isn’t he?

i have a theory that my upstairs neighbor got a curse placed on them so every day after the sun goes down they have to do the loudest jumping jacks possible for an hour or they'll die

#what could they possibly be doing up there. #im like 99% sure that sound isnt them having sex. unless they have sex by hopping up and down in the middle of the living room #it drives me insane #when they first moved in there used to be this buzzing that sounded like a saw or something #but that stopped happening #now its just them moving around constantly #i think theyre exercising? can someone tell them that we have access to a gym for free on campus #and therefore they dont have to do this to me #id be such a good upstairs neighbor. i never get off this couch

[zootopiathingz]

I’m sorry but why am I always the one who has to make the plans when it comes to hanging out with friends? Not to sound like a bitch but I’m literally the only one who makes any effort to reach out and plan something with my friends and lately it’s been kinda draining and lonely. Why am I always the one who has to put in the effort? Why am I the one who has to suggest that we hang out? Like I’m always the one who texts first and asks to see them and it’s never the other way around, ever. If I don’t ask for us to hang out then we don’t hang out.

I know I’m nobody’s first choice, but is it too much to ask to be a choice at all?

#it doesn’t help that my long distance friend stopped talking to me altogether bc he got a girlfriend #and therefor doesn’t need me to talk to anymore #and when I tried to plan for my friends to come over for thanksgiving they just. didn’t really cooperate??? #like they said ‘yeah you can come over’ and I said ‘well I kinda meant for you guys to come to my house’ and the conversation ended there #I love my friends but I’m sick of being the only one putting in any effort #I’m so lonely all the time I just want one person who actually enjoys my company and wants me around #maybe im just being dramatic #idk I just want. to feel loved..in any way #vent #lady luxo rambles

I know for a fact if Leo saw the Barbie Movie he would learn the Ken song word by word and sing it with his entire heart at any possibly chance he could get and Piper would materialize out of seemingly thin air to join in

#they have a little choreography and all #Percy and Jason find it extremely funny #Hazel doesn’t really get what Barbie is and therefore the movie didn’t land for her but she supports this tomfoolery #Frank didn’t find it funny because too often he was the one that ended interrupted by it #but he changed his mind after a while and can now see the charm #Reyna and Annabeth pretends to be annoyed but secretly thinks it’s amazing and have to stop themselves for humming in in public #Nico films it and is definitely using it for future blackmail and it’s Will most listened to song of the year #percy jackson #pjo #heroes of olympus #hoo #percy jackson and the olympians #leo valdez #piper mclean #barbie movie #Barbie #Rick riordan #riordanverse

Y'all I'm surprised no one has considered this other than the occasional age swap au but

Imagine a far into the future au with an elderly Raz where he's at his Nona's age alongside his friends

He would be the most chaotic peepaw ever

#is this depressing to think about in the context of his older family members #absolutely #but please consider #he would be a riot as an old man #never lost that spark of his #and therefore comes off as young at heart #I just know he'd be a fan favorite amongst children and teenagers #also #him looking out for any kids that appear troubled cause they remind him of himself when he was that age #this may or may not have been inspired by a tintin fan account where op drew tintin as a cute little old man #im just saying peepaw raz would be wholesome but also god help whoever is tasked with monitoring him #cause I can only imagine age wouldn't stop raz from pulling the most insane shit ever #do you guys see where I'm going with this #razputin aquato #psychonauts #the necropolix speaks

- grief hues - -

a little visual reflection over the past three months. i moved to new york city, and wanted to explore the tension that comes with going to a place everyone expects you to be excited about while the grief of leaving is still very heavy. all pictures by me.

(april 2024)

#personal issues #photography #art #visual poetry #kinda? #sorry if you saw this on insta or twitter #i have updated tumblr on my life for over a dozen years #and i'm not going to stop now #mine mine all mine #sometimes i need to create to understand my emotions #or to process them #something about creating a mirror and then holding it up #idk #new york city #sorry i keep adding tags like they're commentary but i keep thinking of things #like in the scheme of things and all the death destruction sadness in the world #moving is Not the worst grief that i can experience #it's not even the worst that i have experienced! #but i am feeling it and so therefore it needs to be acknowledged and processed #<3

Honestly, every single time the whole 'poppy playtime is a bendy rip-off' stuff ever shows up I find it all extremely unconvincing and silly.

For one thing, rip-off usually is meant to imply that it's a cheap lazy copy of a better more polished thing, and uh. Sorry but even from chapter 1? Poppy Playtime is a better game than Bendy, it has a simple but understandable story, the game manages to be thrilling, creepy, and very intense at times... I mean that Huggy chase in the vents ALONE puts it way above Batim for me.

I mean BATDR had the most slow stupid chase I've ever seen [and every other encounter with the ink demon is text telling u he's there and then a timer goes down and u get jumpscared] and batim's chases were either silly or just not nearly as theatric or terrifying as that.

When making the vent sequence I mean not only is it absolutely horrifying to realize how fast Huggy is in there but also it's so theatric and cool? The fact that you round a corner after thinking you escaped only to see a terrifying animation of that thing crawling toward you is awesome! I wish Bendy had stuff like that!

And all the stuff it shares with Bendy are generic things Bendy ripped from other horror games/media anyways. I'm not saying Poppy Playtime isn't inspired by Bendy I for sure think it is but Bendy is such a generic story that somehow fails to do tropes 100 other horror games have done any comparison only makes Poppy Playtime look better.

"It has employees being sacrificed for their company" That is not a concept Bendy invented, literally look at any of the sci-fi horror series Bendy is very inspired by. This is literally a twist in the original Alien.

"It has a scary woman forcing you to do tasks for her" Once again, not a concept Bendy invented, a scary mysterious person forcing you to do fetch-quests is a concept found in tons of horror media. And at least Poppy Playtime gave you a chase with her and let you defeat her, look at poor malice. She's barely on screen for more than 10 minutes before she gets stabbed.

"It has a cult worshipping the monster" This is something tons of horror games and media have done too. I mean In The Tall Grass has a guy who worships a giant magical rock in the middle of a grass maze, Bioshock [which Bendy has only been taking more and more direct inspiration from while failing to grab any of the compelling parts] also had a lot of themes of religion and cult-ish behavior, almost every horror media franchise has at one point done a cult thing.

Bendy couldn't even come up with a reason Sammy worships the ink demon, the best motivation we've ever gotten is just that 'he's crazzyyyy the ink made him insaneeee'. Who is the cheap rip-off here?

At least Poppy Playtime gave their cultist a motive for worshipping the monster + a proper boss fight that feels intense and looks awesome! Bendy didn't even let you kill Malice [she got stabbed in front of you and then just collapsed on the floor how thrilling] meanwhile you get to kill three of the villains in Poppy Playtime and the gameplay and action in those scenes have only gotten better as the game went on.

I mean Sammy walks into a room and goes "AAA SCARY I'M BEING MURDERED" then later shows up and for NO REASON sees a normal human man and assumes it's the ink demon before once again someone else kills him for you. In Poppy Playtime you defeat Catnap as he floods the world with this horrible nightmare-inducing gas that intensifies the color palette and his design. Fight off versions of him that are illusions that you need your flare gun for, then watch in a wonderful animation as he mistakes the monster for his savior before getting killed by it, in a brutal way I might add, which game are we accusing of being cheap, lazy garbage again?

I just find this argument to be people who Really Really need to find a reason to hate Poppy Playtime which I think is silly. The devs being weird, shady people is already enough reason to dislike the game, you don't need to invent reasons why secretly every part of the game is malicious or bad. But esp when I see Bendy fans saying they don't support Poppy Playtime or dislike it bc of its devs or even saying its cringe ummmm.

I have bad news about the fact Bendy's devs are worse and it took not one, but TWO over an hour long videos to cover it all. Plus the Bendy games are just the worse games in every aspect, if I could sell my batim copy for a copy of Poppy Playtime I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Saying this as a bendy fan, we have no right to be super judgy towards Poppy Playtime. If Poppy Playtime is embarrassing cringe, Bendy is too and is way more embarrassing of an interest. We shouldn't spread misinformation just because we all want to hate Poppy Playtime, you can dislike Poppy Playtime without making up a bunch of nonsense to justify it.

Honestly seeing people just blatantly be unfairly mean to Poppy Playtime only makes its critics look worse and makes it hard to take any backlash to the games seriously. Because surprise surprise if you spread misinformation to make a point people will quickly stop listening to Anything you have to say bc they won't trust you're telling the truth anymore.

#feel free to reblog but Im not gonna tag this its way too rambley at least for my taste to go in the main tags #ramblez #also man can I say I didnt want to make this post super long but theres so many other points I could make in poppys favor #the fact we got to see the hour of joy and it was terrifying we dont even know if joey actually killed anyone anymore #the gameplay itself is more diverse and fun then batim which is a walking simulator that pretends to have fighting n stealth mechanics #at least Poppy n Missys friendship gives u a reason to care for missys safety before shes put in danger #Missy can actually express unlike Boris who sits there looking cute with no proper expressions until he gets yoinked and ur supposed to car #bc he was uh adorable? And therefore you spend an entire chapter tryna get him and get an extremely bad boss fight in return- #also soundtrack wise I like poppys tracks more theyre unique and fun and you can tell which part of the game they come from #bendy has so many dramatic reveal stingers and tracks that are really hard to tell which part of the game they come from #bertrums boss fight has my favorite theme bc its so specifically crafted for him and unique and meanwhile Norman has one of the worst imo #a lot of Bendys soundtrack if I played it for you right now it would be hard to guess where its from bc it all kinda sounds the same #the reveal music for the machine for bendy land for heavenly toys for alices domain all sound the same x_x #its just so frustrating but yeah my point is can we all stop making up new reasons to shit on poppy playtime its just kinda dumb #it feels less like actual criticism and at this point just feels like elaborate justification for cringe culture which I hate #okay thats it bye sorry this is 10 pages long-
