#and do something incredibly dumb

[genericaces]

Alright. The Langel lobby got to me.

#what is this- what do you think it is #it's clips from angel the series selectively arranged to depict a romantic comedy trailer featuring angel and lindsey mcdonald. #from the tv show. angel the series. #easily the most amount of time i've spent on something incredibly dumb #......so far #angel #lindsey mcdonald #lindsey/angel #angel the series #ats #video

Catra being anxious and having panic attacks over the bad things she did is actually counter productive to any hypothetical scenario where she is self reflecting and/or receiving constructive criticism.

Her potentially having crippling anxiety over being an asshole in the past PREVENTS and/or DELAYS any changes she might potentially make.

Making this character spiral over moral dilemmas does not inherently mean she’s actively working to change her ways. Her being afraid of facing her badness does not make her good; it simply means she has anxieties toward constructive criticism/dialogue.

#in response to the dumb fuck fan comics I see about Catra having panic attacks over and over #yeah like. I get th sentiment. but really that’s not how that works #well. it DOES. but if the audience of the popular fanon POV of Catra’s character is supposed to be sympathetic #why make her a wet soggy cat (metaphorically) #why make her the sad pitiful one #if she’s making changes in her life and her behavior… wouldn’t that be… impowering ? #wouldn’t she feel happier? #she wouldn’t even need to be coddled by Adora (and company). #she’d accept the bad things she’s done and would apologize with no tears none of this wet cat bullshit attitude #actually… fuck it I’ll just write something where she does exactly that #mariposa rants #what I told you guys… that making a huge self pity party for yourself… after doing some shitty thing #is actually incredibly selfish … and silly…. #(ex. bojack horseman. like. literally the entire show.) #eww mariposa ranting about bojack horseman #<<< (new tag cause I’m not down with this point) #basically. feel bad for a minute. then spend the next hour working on yourself. journaling. self therapy. actual therapy. meditate. pray. #whatever the fuck dude

guys holy shit i predicted melodie................

#this is from my drafts i dont think i explained the idea well but it was something i thought about a lot and made sense in my head #id rather have my idea and the bs i came up with than whatever melodie is #I HATE HER GRAHHHHHH #brawl stars #its funny how castle duo is my favorite duo ever and i havent ever came up with a fan idea for a third member... im a fake fan guys smh </3 #/j i would but i have no creativity whatsoever #wait actually ill do it right now #ummmmmmmmm i think having a princess is kind of dumb bcuz like i said mandy exists.... i think maybe a brawler revolving around #the haunted armor trope would be cool? like... a ghost knight that died a long time ago and possessed a suit of armor and fights on to this #very day #and supercell could release it on halloween wow im so smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 #“why are you rambling about this so much its such a dumb idea” its my blog and i ramble about whatever i want💥 #their name could be. idfk. and they love their sword or something like how ash loves his rats and grom his walkie talkie #the trio ever !!!!!!!!!!! guys if you think its a good idea and want me to draw it ummmmmm ill draw it when we hit 100123901239million like #ill show my incredibly smart and cool and super and awesome idea to my brawl stars friends and moots and see what they think

i feel like itd be rlly funny if the reason why eddie didnt like steve before he met him wasnt any of that "oooo steve BULLIED him" fandom bullshit but that steve has like. natural musical talent that he doesnt really do much with bc he doesnt care or something. like steve was mindlessly doing polyrhythms just tapping pens on his desk in class or sth and eddie had to jump out the window

LMFAO it's like a disney channel episode dramatic plotline he hears steve singing bruce springsteen or something by himself in the locker room or something incredibly casually sophomore year and has to run out of the school to go practice deep breathing techniques in the woods telling himself over and over that metal vocalists don't have to sound "good" that's just another way they try and get you to grind yourself down in the machine but he's crying and punching trees. so upset. writes a song that says GOD HATES ME on the school bus ride home

#asks #i don't like the thing where ppl have him be like a secret pianist or something cuz i think that's just dumb also he's not that kind of #rich boy ONE DIMENSIONAL CARIACUTURE PRACTICE but him having perfect pitch or something is hilarious #they could be lemonade mouth . i've said this before #i think when ppl make eddie a good vocalist let alone The vocalist it's so funny also makes me sick remembering that time last year .. #with the kings of leon song... absolutely heinous levels of prepdom 😭 sorry kol #anyway i think when they do that it's like whatever but it's the most entry level idea you can have like oh eddie is secretly incredibly #talented bc u don't get to see much of his actual performing um limits but we know it means a lot to him #but fuck it's so funny to imagine he's just not that good BUT HE DOES IT ANYWAY. that's beautiful actually #also so many good bands have dogshit singers .. He is one. to me. #i also think this opens up the potential for the st/eddie home band that no one wants to think about Because theyre scared #sts

talking to macdennis shippers makes me realize how much more i enjoy charden lmfao

#i love early seasons macden a lot but i think they sort of. fucked mcdn beyond repair in a lot of ways #where they Need to derail the show and do some genuine repairs #if theyd stayed the way they were in s5 itd be like oh yeah nbd theyre fucking lol #but now its. complicated #which isn't inherently bad but i think theres so much to unpack that its just like. if its not done right its going to be a disaster #charden have remained actual friends #it doesn't feel like a huge jump for them to be on good terms #but everyone immediately assumes something must have happened offscreen if macden are getting along #like. its overcomplicated! idk! i think dennis' entire character is overcomplicated #and it makes it really hard because he is So established to just have a fun plot #also i think theyve slowly fucked mac's character and have no intention of fixing it like they have with charlie and dennis' characters #like charlie was made Too Dumb and theyve been remedying that by making him a little more grounded and serious #dennis was Too Angry and they're remedying it by having him develop a way of burning off pressure without exploding #but everything theyve developed for mac has just sort of been left behind #if there was a moment to show how he'd changed it wouldve been post mfhp but it almost seemed like it was a complete reversal #he devolved lol #he was definitely like. better. in s16. but he's lost so much complexity while the others have gained more #and it feels incredibly unbalanced #dee is just a nothing character now too which (while i disagree with a lot of the complaints abt her in s16) can be seen clearly now #but mac is just. #okay im done rambling bye #ada speaks #idk how to explain but macden as a dynamic feels like it holds both of their characters back #and it rarely brings anything new or interesting to the table #dennis shows a different side of himself around charlie #but he is. mostly just angry or exasperated around mac

do you guys ever think about how different the content creator space be if people talked things out between themselves before going onto social media platforms with huge followings of people who’ll defend them to the ends of the earth and labeled someone else something that will forever change every single creator involved and the community’s perception of them over something that just might possibly be a uncomfortable misunderstanding

#this is about the George and Caiti situation if I’m not clear #it’s just incredibly strange to me what’s going on. it feels like a massive misunderstanding and yes poor judgement #on both parts #but once you speak out there isn’t really going back and if you frame a situation as different from what you KNOW happened #then what the hell do you expect to happen? #if you have to fake ANYTHING to prove your point you have just lost pretty much all your credibility. #it’s been a major wave of speaking out #and this wave has brought so much good to the online community #but with every real and courageous story of a victim speaking out I feel like you get 3 falsified or dramatized stories from various people #seeking to ride off of the suffering of real victims of abuse and assault #to take down a persons platflorm #over something that was a dumb and drunk and stupid and uncomfortable and regretted mistake. #over soemthing that yes was a very poor decision on their part and possibly your part too #but you have to be realistic. you cannot fake evidence. you cannot embellish the truth. you cannot do these things and say you support #victims. because you just want to be fully seen as the vulnerable prey viciously attacked by a predator. I’m sorry this happened to you but #honestly? from the streams and threads I’ve seen the ends do not justify the means. #georgenotfound #caitibugzz

one of my favorite parts of rereading the republic is how fucking petty plato can be

sure, sure, there’s a lot else going on about what makes a good leader/governance/society but so much of it is plato going so anyway, fuck that cephalus dude in PARTICULAR (and ps this isn’t just my opinion so don’t come at me, this is SOCRATES talking hey guys, did i mention he was my mentor? anyway “socrates” says cephalus is a virgin who can’t even drive and we should all throw rocks at him)

#i’ve been marking up a new copy for yj reasons and it will never stop being funny #he’s just subtweeting okay #there is something very charming and comforting in how humanity does not change #we can be very smart and very dumb and so incredibly wonderful alongside truly horrifying #at the end of the day we are the same petty and amusing contradictions we have always been i guess #and i really do find some hope in that #plato was a messy bitch who loved drama AND a little bit of a genius #the duality of man! or something! whatever i’m feeling good about people tonight we are adorable sometimes

everyone in the steel dragons sucks ass at obeying warnings

#super robot wars #srw #steel dragons ft. vtx corp #saw this post and immediately thought about using it for an srw shitpost #i like to imagine the steel dragons get up to incredibly dumb ideas in a self-perpetuating cycle #where someone will do something ridiculous and regret it #but despite them telling everyone else not to do it everyone else goes ahead and does it #both out of curiosity and because they're all that special kind of foolhardy where they're like ''rip to this but i'm built different'' #that's how they've beaten the odds time and time again but it's also why they all get up to terrible terrible ideas when off duty

[treeshrine]

gonna be real bud if your fic relies so heavily on intense triggering themes and shock value that you're averse to putting warnings on it to "maintain surprise" and "avoid spoilers", then you act like you did nothing wrong when people are upset that you didn't make any effort to turn them away and allow them to protect themselves, while also telling them it's their fault that they read something that upset them when they could have never known it contained specific things that will upset them, i think you are a tar pit

#'warnings are a courtesy!!' yes so why are you apparently averse to being courteous #saying omg fanfiction never used to warn people and print books never warn people so it's not a bad thing if i don't warn you! #that's some 'no one protected me so why should i protect you' type shit #sorry i got recommended this dumb ass post and i had to say something so i'm saying it here #why are you telling people to curate their own experiences while actively making it more difficult to curate their experiences LMFAO #if i read a scene with intensely triggering content without knowing it was there before. 'just closing the book' or 'hitting the back butto #is not protecting myself. how do i protect myself from something I've already read??? #diary #like dude it's possible to protect people from spoilers while also protecting people from seeing things that will distress them #i also honestly take issue with people who do a content warning but just say “this gets into some shit” or something of the like. #you might as well have just not said anything because now i'm confused and on edge #instead of able to protect myself properly i have to try and gauge my personal sensitivity against the unknowable factor of #what your idea of “some shit” is #also telling someone to 'just close the book lol' is an incredibly dismissive approach to people being affected by something triggering #you know these things do happen to people in real life. right. but of course who would have empathy for someone who doesn't want to be #reminded of trauma

One day I’m going to write an Ochako character piece where she gets sick of standing in Deku’s shadow and breaks off their relationship in order to find herself - only for the media to begin constantly linking her to other Hero’s in the hopes of causing/unearthing drama.

She loses herself, succumbs to the idea that she’ll only ever be as good as the males she’s attached to and sinks…

It’s funny, she thinks, for someone who can control gravity - she sure does feel heavy.

#I want her to make a badly timed pass at Bakugo - The media have already labelled her a home wrecker; #she might as well prove them right at this point. #She’s drunk and sinking and obviously in pain; but Bakugo let’s her down gently… #There’s a rough sympathy in his voice when he says: #‘The fuck you playing at Cheeks? I’m taken. The fuck do you want me for?’ #She hiccups; tears already beading her lashes: ‘You’re the number two.’ #‘The fucks that got to do with anything? You’re in the top fucking ten.’ #‘Doesn’t matter…’ She sighs. ‘Only matters who I’m fucking; doesn’t it.’ #‘Who the fuck put that kinda idea in your head? You’re an incredible Hero in your own right; anyone who can’t see that is fucking stupid.’ #She dissolved into tears then; blubbering about the media and womanhood and skin tight fucking suits… #By the time she’s done she’s dog tired and Bakugo swings her over his shoulders before taking her home - #- and tucking her into the bed in your spare room. #Of course you wake up when he slinks into bed; a hand scrubbing down his face as he relays the night. #‘It’s bullshit.’ He tells you. ‘She’s one of the strongest people I know.’ #‘I know.’ You nod and take his hand. ‘I think she just needs a friend right now…’ #She eats breakfast with you in the morning and apologises through mouthfuls of toast. You wave her off; ask if she’d like to get lunch - #you know a place. You say. #(There’s something here about women uplifting women and female bonds; but I’m too dumb to put it into words right now… #I just think she deserves more - as both a character and how she’s often treated within the fandom. #Idk. I love the women of MHA 🤷🏼‍♀️)

i feel like ppl online need to realise that its ok to just arbitrarily not like an artistic decision WITHOUT it having to be “problematic” or a symptom of a deeper systemic issue. the amount of times i see discourses started about some piece of media/art where the criticism is just an incredibly bad faith reading of the media in question is insane like i assure you its okay to just be a Hater. just don’t be a dick about it

#filurig.txt #just saw an incredibly dumb discourse and i just. How do people have the time to come up with the strangest readings of something possible #and then convince themselves that yes this message is what everyone interprets from this. this is normal

I don’t think Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji have actually stonily ignored each other for 16 straight years since Wei Wuxian died. I think their relationship has ebbed and flowed and changed shape several times, and that they’ve reluctantly worked together in situations where they’ve realized “ugh, That Fucking Guy is the only other person in this room with the Correct Opinion,” and most importantly I think they have a huge argument every few years to keep the loathing fresh and alive.

They’ve actually put a lot of work into their relationship, but the work they’ve put in is purely to maintain as much animosity between them as possible. And that is why they seem so very divorced.

#the reason I made this post is Hm I bet at one point they had a huge argument about Sizhui #because I really. don’t think Jiang Cheng is dumb enough to not figure out who Sizhui is #and he must have gone to Wangji like ‘you can’t just raise That baby in the cloud recesses are you fuckign crazy?’ #and Wangji is like ‘hmm well. i can and I will. actually.’ #and Jiang Cheng tries to argue that it puts both Wangji and Sizhui in danger to do so #and then Wangji says something INCREDIBLY hurtful about Jiang Cheng’s inability to protect his OWN loved ones #and Jiang Cheng is like alright fuck you I was just trying to help but if we’re #*we’re playing THIS game then you’re just trying to protect this kid because you feel guilty you couldn’t protect Wei Wuxian #and then they each say a few more of the most hurtful things they can think of and then they try to kill each other #and maybe demolish part of an inn in Caiyi while they’re at it. SORRY! WE’LL PAY FOR THAT

im really scared to get into pathologic because to this point, daniil is another ogata type to me and we all know how that went (still tragically afflicted with the need to sexually punch him in the teeth 5+ years later)

#text tag #patho #like. there is a certain type of man that inspires in me the deep desire to rip apart with my teeth #qualities include being incredibly full of himself ie being pretty good at something but thinking hes god at it #being a little prick #having a dubious moral compass #being really smart in some things but like shockingly dumb also #most importantly is something id like to call the “gettability factor” ie how gettable they are #do you see them and think god i should just fucking Get you #thats gettability idk how else to put it #like cats who are in crazy mode are very gettable #theyre like cmonnn im just a little birthday boy dont u wanna chase me around hJGBHBDJ

[selkiecoded]

What isekai are you reading if you don’t mind me asking?

okay... but youre not allowed to make fun of me... its called "50 tea recipes from the duchess." korean woman gets fired, gets isekai'd into the body of a duchess who is timid to the point of patheticness and everybody fuckin hates her. is like uggghh well i dont care if im hated as long as i have my special interest: TEA. and with her autistic girl swag (label pending) she makes both the society and her cold intimidating husband love her. 70% of it is her infodumping about tea to the delight of everyone around her.

#ask me no questions and ill tell you no lies #started reading it on tapas bc i was bored and it was free. embarrassingly got invested. #more uhh romance isekai? rather than like an action based one. its cute enough. not really groundbreaking but i like the FL. #we did manage to achieve a conversation between the protag and her body swapped soul so that was fun. #generally i dont support ppl who go on abt art that they only engage w for mindless fun or whatever bc theyre usually talking abt fuckin. #idk marvel movies or the latest army propaganda films or whatever. and generally the media they talk abt verges to harmful. #but i am an avid supporter of reading dumb shit you know is silly. all art has value including stupid stuff. #other dumb stuff ive read: at least two ~sexier~ manga/manhwa. former had surprisingly decent world building. #latter had an INCREDIBLY TOXIC cast of characters. it was absolutely fascinating. #those are the more embarrassing ones and the ones i WONT be dropping titles for. #others include furry shoujo isekai; aromantic shoujo; mousou telepathy (ive mentioned that before) #gag comedy where a dude gets ~magicked~ into a girls body but the joke is hes so lazy that he doesnt give a shit (mood) #stupid bl manga with a hot fat character who is very much the main object of desire #a lot of it is manga/manhwa bc its easier to get into something kinda dumb if its bolstered by having nice visuals rather than like a book #or whatever where you have to slog through it with your imagination alone. even when reading 'dumb' art i try to engage it properly bc i #very sincerely believe that every story has some form of meaning if youre just willing to engage with it #(<- plot of orv btw for an ACTUALLY good story) #like i said the sexi manga has surprisingly good worldbuilding. the toxic story the sexu manhwa was telling was earnestly fascinating. #idk! sorry i know you were just looking for the name but while i do consider it just kinda silly its broader impact has a deep effect on me #this is why i love orv❤️ please read orv. while i already had these fond feelings prior to reading orv it really cemented it for me. #oh and i read romance novels sometimes. i like stuff thats cute and silly! idk. youve been on my blog you can see my icon this isnt news.

The people that have abandoned me really need to stop talking to me like they have any right to tell me what to do, or I swear to God, I'm gonna get the FUCKING hammer.
