#and hell even if they weren't

Phil: Doin' a lot of traveling around the New Years. Oh boy, oof. Oh golly, oh gee. But it should be worth it! It should be really good. I'm looking forward to it, Kristin's looking forward to it.

Random Chatter: What about Tallulah and Chayanne?

Phil: I told them already what's going on. I already told them. They already know when I'm getting back and all that stuff, so.

Random Chatter: The cookies though?

Phil: [Shrugs] So? I'm... physically not here? [Laughs] There's more things - there's more important things in life than feeding a virtual egg cookies, I'm sorry to say, dude. [Laughs]

Random Chatter: Get Tubbo to feed eggs cookies.

Phil: [Laughs and mimics the chatter in an annoying voice] "Get this person!" "Get that person!" ALSO IGNORING THOSE PEOPLE ALSO HAVE LIVES! Jesus Christ. That says a lot about what you think of your streamer. Oh my god, dude. Let them have a fcking week off man! Let the Eggs have a week off, you kidding me? They're people, too, they're admins!

Random Chatter: The eggs need to live.

Phil: They do! By having a week off! [Laughs] Leave them alone! Holy fck! Good lord... If I- if- Dude. If anyone in my chat is genuinely like gonna come into stream, and like - be pissed off that different members of QSMP are just not logging in, I'm banning you on the spot, 'cuz that is so fcking toxically online of you. That is SO chronically online of you. You need to take a break, and I'm giving you that break. I'm forcing you to take a break from your PC. Fckin' get up from the - look away from the screen.

#Philza #Phil #QSMP #For real though it's WILD that some people genuinely have that mentality #People forget that the ccs need breaks and so do the Eggs! #many of whom are in college #and hell even if they weren't #they still need a break! #Plus it's the holidays #Context for this conversation in case it wasn't clear: Phil was talking about leaving for the holidays and said others will be too #and some random chatters got annoying spamming about the Eggs and saying they'll die #I didn't catch this live but I'm watching the VOD #Idk. QSMP is almost a year old and people still get worried about the same stupid stuff #''The eggs are gonna die! No one will take care of this specific Egg unless I spam their name in chat 100000 times!'' #''Nobody cares about my fave and clearly I know better than actual members of the server'' #Like. c'mon man be serious #Everyone loves the Eggs #I feel like a lot of fans really do need to unplug and remember that it's not that serious #and this is coming from someone who bawled their eyes out at Bobby's death #real ass people's lives matter more. Let them take a break #Q's said so many times that they Eggs matter and he wouldn't just kill them all off for the hell of it #anyhoo #December 25 2023 #Q #Subtitles #Edited

Zutaras are really the original self-insert, "we understand the story soooooo much better than everybody else" girlies and they just never moved on

#anti zutara #no offense to anyone who ships it and follows me but I'm so over the shipping wars of this show that aired almost 20 years ago 😭 #at some point you guys are gonna need to hang it up cause there's a sequel series and these people are married with children like... #we get it if you were Katara you would've chosen Zuko but guess what?! you aren't and need to stop projecting onto her #the pretending to care about Katara is what really gets me cause she's never even implied to have romantic feelings for him #or vice-versa + it ignores her anger towards him and how long it took her to forgive him + rightfully so #criticizing the writing for Kataang is one thing but turning around and shipping Zutara while doing so is crazy work #ship it if you want but please stop pretending it makes more sense when both Zuko and Katara have their own separate romances 😭 #love how people have to age Aang down + infantilize him and erase Mai to make it work but sure it's the better option #stop erasing Katara's arc and development just to claim that Aang brings her down when she's been a bad-ass since season 1 #reducing her arc to that ONE moment with Zuko and ignoring all of her other development just to prop up a ship is nasty #Katara isn't a reward for Aang and she sure as hell isn't one for Zuko stop belittling her like that #if y'all didn't watch ATLA when you were 12 and think Zuko was cute this ship wouldn't even exist #thinking about that post that said the writers /pandered to dudebros/ like we all weren't children the delusion is crazy sdfssdfsdfsd #also seeing AANG of all characters getting whacked for a ship...please get a life and stay away from him #antizutara

Something kind of funny I never anticipated about crocheting with longer hair was pulling out a piece of my own hair out of my project that I somehow crocheted into it

#art #fiber art #crochet #most likely that strand fell out mid-stitch and i just... crocheted it in #love in every stitch? no. HAIR in every stitch #also i'm watching a video about knitting (war-time knitting specifically) and it's sparking memories #i forgot the sheer effort that was getting women to knit for soldiers (understandably because i wasn't alive during those wars but still) #molly was my favourite american girl book and i think that's where i first learned about that as a kid???? #but those books weren't mine they were just family books and i LOVED reading fiction back then #and i really liked the historical aspect to those books in the sense that they were about girls in specific historical periods #and they incorporated actual history in it - to the full extent i'm not sure because i haven't read them in close to ten years (idk) #and it's interesting to see just how many people - not even just women! - knit for soldiers #i'm learning now from this video the sheer number of other people who started in knitting #anyway this is why i'm begging men to also do fiber arts (watching a reel of a guy crochet a blanket and HELL YEAH BROTHER)

Thinking of tiny Enver, following helplessly along as he's dragged through the streets by a strong, unrelenting grip. It was the middle of the night when the warlock came for him, darkening the Flymm's doorstep. The only time his mother made a fuss when they handed over their son, sparking a light of hope in Enver's heart that they might've changed their mind, was to ask the warlock if he'd counted the amount of gold correctly. After that they were right as rain.

As the trade concluded his mother never looked at him once.

The moment the door to Flymm's Cobblers closed shut behind them with a sense of finality, his fate well and truly sealed, Enver Flymm's mind was running miles a minute. Thoughts of escape had occurred to him, of course, but even if he were to manage to overpower a warlock twice his size and make a run for it, where would he go? His parents just sold him. If he went back they'd kick him right out the door again, screaming and yelling over what he'd done. He turns his options around in his head repeatedly, but he can't think well when his heart is trying to jump its way up his throat.

They're halfway through the Lower City when the grip on his arm suddenly loosens. He could barely hear a thing at first - the city uncharacteristically quiet even for such late hours. Then, there is a sickening squelch followed by a slight thud as the warlock drops dead to the ground. He sees the vague silhouette of someone on top of the body, a smaller creature dripping with blood as it tears through flesh. It's too dark to see a face, but there is something animalistic about its movements. Either it doesn't notice Enver, or it doesn't care.

Whoever or whatever wild thing it was is gone just as fast. By some God's mercy, it passed right by him.

Enver is left alone with the mangled remains of the man who bought him, whose pockets he rifles through for gold and valuables before disappearing from the scene of the crime. Without a home he has to put his mind to work living on the streets, toiling and climbing his way steadily up so as not to ever be so powerless again. It's not a way of life that comes without soiling your hands, but sometimes the messiest deeds are the cleanest, and vice versa. Stabbed backs and broken souls are left behind in the process when you need a stepping stone or two. He will rob as many people of their freedom as necessary to preserve his own because a miracle like that will never happen again. Even so he is admired. Respected. The people of Baldur's Gate support him now in a way they never would have before.

Years pass but it's impossible to forget what granted him this chance to forge connections and climb his way up to become unreachable in the first place. However oblivious it might have been back then that murderous creature freed him, and while there is little to go on in terms of finding it again he'll never forget the debt he owes.

(It grows into an obsession.)

#bg3 #enver gortash #durgetash #softer!enver because he never reached the Hells but still a fucked up enver #I am thinking about it.... #it's like a fucked up version of cinderella #maybe durge dropped something as they left. maybe enver held on to it for all these years as he searched for them :) #didn't mean for this to get long I ended up vomiting words #but boy am I thinking about this alternate way of meeting each other..... #they only met once and never so much as spoke a word to each other but durge already means the world to gort #enver calling durge 'it' at first because he's truly not sure if they're even human or not. but he MUST find them again. #from durge's perspective I'm thinking this was one of their 'lost to the urge' moments and they weren't even aware of enver standing there #a what-if gort never ended up in raphael's hands scenario. would raphael still persist?

and shout-out to weepe's guards! competent enough to move quicker than kozma's people, strong enough to overpower them despite being outnumbered, and seemingly didn't even blink at not just killing other people but at doing it with horrific weaponized tearror-blood. weepe found these guys in the fucking TRUST?

#midst podcast #midst #midst spoilers #midst podcast spoilers #i'm of two minds about it bc on the one hand kestrel astutely pointed out that there was no mention of valor or abacuses where you'd expect #and using the fold to tear apart a bunch of guards who are trying to stop their boss getting Murdered doesn't Seem very valorous by trust s #and weepe having a bunch of guys in his pocket who WEREN'T originally trust even if they've been pulled in seems like something he'd like #but on the other hand. where would he have GOTTEN a bunch of non-trust guys???? #AND they're referred to as a special king triangle 'Company guard' in 3.7 #plus i really like the idea that like...the trust really does have some VERY fucking competent soldiers #we've seen phineas do some genuinely impressive athletic stunts and we know costigan can uh. hold her own in a fight #and anyway it isn't the prime consector's unit's job to be the best it's their job to LOOK the best #of COURSE you'd want your really skilled guys protecting your upper trustees and your king triangle #hell it's just another angle of the non-trust society underestimating the trust (but that's a whole nother post) #and as far as the valor goes...well. we've certainly seen definitions shift! company guards stood outside the vault in 2.13 too! #and witnessed the devastation after!

Something about this interaction between Harry & Janeway - specifically Janeway but it's notable that Harry's the one listening because I think, say, Chakotay or B'Elanna might push back against the idolization of this 'it was different back in those days' way of thinking.

#Get the Tranq she's 'Good Old Boys'-ing! #never beating the Starfleet stooge accusations #which I think should have been brought up more between her and Chakotay #instead of just making Chakotay like Starfleet again so they can be together #the Tuvok/Chakotay/Janeway command trio should have been like #Janeway: I love Starfleet in an uncomplicated way and though it's painful sometimes I believe following code is the only way to proceed #Tuvok: I agree with the captain and this makes her believe in her decisions more - though I would attempt to obey her commands even if they #weren't regulation. #<- Janeway doesn't want to examine this #Chakotay: I hate Starfleet because of very valid reasons and I don't think following orders and codes from superiors is the best thing #in every situation. I want everyone here to examine their biases which cannot necessarily be done if biases are written into the #codes. We aren't in Starfleet space. We might have to adapt. #but it's nowhere near that nuanced bc you know. Starfleet Good. Starfleet Good. Starfleet Good. Maquis Bad. Maquis Bad. Maquis Bad. #Or you know: 'Maquis doing this the WROOONG way...violence isn't the answer :(' maybe violence is the answer sometimes. #when it's the only language the people in power understand. #maybe 'let's talk about this' is an insidious military tactic sometimes actually #Also Harry immediately going from 'They falsified logs?' to 'I always wondered it'd be like back then...~' #He and Janeway................Him and Janeway are!!! AGH #People think Harry's way too timid. They think this because he's asian and an ensign so they make him timid & obedient #But he's very willing to break or bend the rules - he's willing to fight he likes action and adventure and he's very similar to Janeway #where they'll both die and go to hell and come back just to save their crew - their friends - their family

I won't have time to do anything tomorrow, so here's an early valentine's gpose instead. Local god lays in bed using his beloved Exarch's lap as a pillow.

(gpose brought to you via @wind-up-nhaama 's The Pendants Suite in the lavender beds)

actually you know whose reaction I'd be really curious about, potentially coming across fourteen in the shops? Francine!

#francine jones #martha jones #the doctor #dw #doctor who #the (second?) last time they saw each other she nodded to him #and i tend to interpret that as a mix of 'thank you for talking me down' 'hey we survived hell together' and 'thank goodness #martha is coming back to us and you and i both know it's the right thing even though i know you're a fucking mess too but also pls go' #not in the sense that martha was trapped with ten but that ten maybe Could have convinced her to stay potentially #or even just that francine was afraid that ten might do so/martha could possibly choose ten over them #also just that in some ways the jones fam saw the doctor and the master being An Terrifying Other Species moreso than most #there's that relief when martha comes back like they weren't sure she'd be walking back inside #so they dont end it on Bad terms technically #but also potentially... sees fourteen and it's a trigger? sees fourteen and is afraid for martha? #sees fourteen and assumes the end of the world is coming back? sees fourteen and is just... oh... hoped id never see you again #sees fourteen and it's an awkward british 'how have things been? good. you? yeah good. got a garden now. oh that's nice' #(was francine there when martha was on that joint call -- she was wasnt she? #i cannot remember if there's any Looks between them there that indicate how she feels about ten at that point) #anyway i think francine should've been in martha's final scene i think francine was the most important part of martha's life #that symbolised the ways that ten had affected that life #and seeing how francine potentially felt after end of time would have been such a strong indicator of how that story ended there #the tenth doctor #the fourteenth doctor #doctor who spoilers #dw spoilers

And when I get my all black interview with the vampire remake ala the wiz then what

#listen there truly is so much you can do with blackness and itwv #even what we get with louis and his own struggles with race and racism in the show like lets not stop there #and i thunk it is a great way to get more black fans 1) involved 2) in creative spaces cus imma be real. i dont wanna see more white lestats #like lestat as an alexander dumas type has been rattling around my brain for months i need people to see the vision #i also just see it more as a way to look at how slavery and its legacies have forever warped how the Diaspora interrelates #not only slavery but french colonialism as well. what does it mean to be a free man of color when your cousins are being sold off? #what does it mean to be Haitian in spaces like aristocratic colonial france? #how does the arab slave trade factor in? #like there are so many good points of meta we could do if people weren't obsessed with woobyfying white men in this fandom #hell even the notion of passing in itwv is deeply intriguing #interview with the vampire #iwtv #amc iwtv

I've been reading Sandman and these bios were in the back of Season of Mists and I thought y'all would enjoy them.

#sandman #the sandman #neil gaiman #not actually good omens but I feel like people who like good omens would enjoy this #i mean GO is why I'm reading sandman #(they're very very good by the way) #sometimes it's really weird having been born in 2005 #i am baby #these started coming out over thirty years ago when my parents were like ten years old #and this author is still regularly creating and putting out more stuff #the passage of time. #AND I WASN'T THERE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PASSAGE OF TIME #THAT GOES FOR EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING EVER #but it's sometimes super weird to me that I wasn't like. fully grown in the early 2000s. #and I wasn't even born in the 90s #it's not weird to me that I wasn't around much before that though because the majority of the people I interact with weren't quite grown or #alive at that point. #oh and I get the same feeling about living in the US #like what the hell am I doing here I'm an anthropology major #and at the same time I was only born in 2005 why am I going to college I should still be going to elementary school #good omens

me, watching the animatronics and ghosts torment and mock William Afton in Ultimate Custom Night:

i'm gonna be honest I don't care for Lucifer as a Redeemed Father Figure until he explicitly apologizes for being an absent father and also that it's actually acknowledged in the show that this happened and it sucks. He's clearly a man who had mental health challenges that prevented him from being present for his child. He's depressed, he still wears his wedding ring after at least seven years of divorce, he got kicked out of his home and LITERALLY sent to Hell. Even though he never blamed Charlie for any of that, he hurt his daughter. To say that Lilith "separated" him from Charlie takes away his own autonomy and responsibility as a parent. Charlie's mom has been MIA for literally seven years. What was stopping him from reconnecting then? Charlie is in her late 20s at MOST. Who has Charlie had to rely on except Vaggie and some Dinsey princess animal friends for nearly a decade through her young adulthood? Not her father nor her mother.

This isn't all to say Lucifer doesn't love Charlie. Clearly, Charlie reaching to him for help was a needed first step to rekindle a relationship he desperately wanted. However, it's very telling that Charlie waited until she was truly desperate to reach out to Lucifer. She loves her father, but she doesn't trust him, and she shouldn't. It's up to Lucifer from this point on to earn back her trust. Yes, mental health is difficult, and I'm happy that he seems to have realized that his love for Charlie is more important than his destroyed ideals, that there is more in life to appreciate. I'm happy for him and I love how he truly just wants to support Charlie the best he can. But he's still an irresponsible clown, and until that's addressed, I just don't think he gets to have a "Fathering Trying His Best" award. His behavior is realisitc in that most shit parents DO want to just pretend their shit behavior never happened and everything is good now, but it's not fair to their loved ones. It's ESPECIALLY not fair to Charlie.

I know this might not be as important to other fans watching, but I'm just a little dissappointed because I think there was a lot more we can get from the Charlie-Lucifer dynamic that I'm not sure the show will address in the future. Maybe in season 2? Here's to hoping idk.

#some people are saying they can't help the fact the show was rushed #idk i feel you but also maybe they just shouldn't have chosen to do as much as they did in 8 episodes #like when other cartoons weren't sure they'd get renewed they did more episodic stories with a slow plot build up #i think if they had room to END the season with going to heaven like RIGHT before the court meeting. or even just with Lucifer #then we would have more room to flesh things out and yeah we wouldn't get as much plot but the season would still end at a comfortable spot #the trailer even includes = a giant chorus number with the citizens of hell are you telling me they go to war in episode 8? #i wish this was a 12 episode season man #hazbin hotel #seb out

People who go "why don't you eradicate gender" annoy me so much, because gender is what I am on the inside, if both genders were treated the same, I would still be transgender because I'd still feel like a man internally and it's so hard to get other people to realize that eradicating gender is literally an impossible task, that's like asking people to eradicate sexuality so you wont have homophobia anymore, like no, people have an innate sense of their own gender/sexuality that cannot be eradicated because thats just part of being human. I genuinely feel like what these people mean is to eradicate gender roles rather than gender but still...

Sorry for the long ask, I'm just frustrated with people not understanding

It's also like... unreasonable to ask trans people specifically. We've been around for millenia - as long as there are human beings born and alive, there we will be. If gender weren't a thing, people would transition. People would still be trans. We can't be eradicated through "well let's just make gender not a thing!!!!" and it feels like some people only want gender eradicated because they think that will eradicate trans people.

Like I've said before, trans and cis people both would benefit from gender roles being less constricting and less of a priority in society. What we need is to accept others - especially those of whom "buck the binary," so to speak.

I understand the nuance that goes into these conversations; however, it's like... nobody seems interested in having it in good faith, or talking about this in a way that isn't, "you trans people are so fucking regressive about gender, unlike cis people, who are historically more normal about it."

#ask #anon #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #like i feel like even if we would completely eradicate gender... different genders and norms would arise despite the effort #so i think the best recourse is to make sure genderqueerness isn't treated like a fucking curse or disease #like would i *mind* if gender weren't a thing? i suppose not but i have no clue because that's not the society i live in #and it has *never* been the society i've lived in so... i don't know for sure #but i sure as hell know what society ought *not* to do based on the shit i have experienced #hopefully this makes sense 👍
