donna’s inherent honesty vs dick’s tendency to be manipulative.. speak to me

#dick grayson #donna troy #wonder twins #his manipulativeness being the thing about dick that most bothers donna #vs donna’s willingness to be honest about uncomfortable things being one of the things dick most admires about her.. #!!!!! #like donna is just very emotionally honest in a way most heroes aren’t. #if she’s having a bad time and someone asks hey what’s wrong what’s going on. she will answer and be honest!! instead of giving #some bullshit ‘im fine :D’ response #meanwhile dick…… Does Not Do That #except with donna! one of the few people he trusts enough to feel comfortable confiding in! #they’re so!!

I need everyone to know that speedsters are allergic to nanobots.

No, seriously. They're allergic to nanobots.

Speedsters have absolutely insane metabolisms, which means that they have an absolutely insane immune system. They don't get sick. Ever. Their immune system works at warp speed and takes out germs the second they enter their body. Call germs 'the Rogues' because they're getting tackled by super speedy blurs before they can even think about causing issues.

Okay, so they have a great immune system and don't get sick ever. What does this have to do with nanobots?

Great question! When nanobots are injected into a speedster's body their immune system sees them as a threat. Only problem? It doesn't matter how fast or efficient their immune system is, their body can't destroy a bunch of tiny metal robots.

Because their bodies can't fight off the nanobots they start to display typical cold/flu symptoms instead. Vomiting, fever, runny nose, coughing, being tired, ect. The nanobots aren't causing this reaction. Their own immune system causes this reaction. The fever is the bodies attempt to kill off the 'germs'. The vomiting, runny nose and coughing is the body's attempt to expel the 'germs'. They feel tired because their body is putting everything into fighting off the 'infection'.

In a normal person the nanobots wouldn't even be an issue because they'd be able to avoid detection. They can't avoid detection in a speedster body because their immune systems are dialled up to 500 out of 10.

As a result you get instances like this:

(Inertia had injected Bart with nanobots and Bart had a reaction)

Just an FYI for people because this is extremely fun and versatile information. Especially because none of the speedsters are really aware of this and it doesn't kick in right away. I could totally see a situation where a mission requires nanobot injections and mid mission the speedster goes down out of nowhere. It's also great if you want to do a stereotypical sick fic or something and want to get around that pesky speedster immunity.

Anyway, it's fun information so I thought I'd share

#anyone watch that episode of TT where all the titans are injected with nanobots that'll kill them if robin doesn't work with slade? #and everyone is all 'WHY HAS ROBIN BETRAYED US?!?' #anyway im just saying that if Wally was there he would be on the ground delirious and vomiting #which #i don't know if it makes the situation better because the team would be looking into why hes sick #or if it makes it worse because wallys out of commission #but its 10/10 either way #i just want a yj mission where tims like 'hey we are going to space so here are gps nanobots' #and then like three hours later Bart is burning up delirious and vomiting #and tim (who knows that speedsters ONLY show symptoms of sickness if they have the plague or have been poisoned or something) FREAKS OUT #throws him into quarantine. stops the mission. gets an emergency surgery room ready. has doctors on the line. #Kon goes into quarantine with him cause hes 'AN ALIEN AND CAN'T GET SICK FUCK YOU TIM' #meanwhile hes like #completely fine #he just has flu symptoms #dc #dc comics #the flash #impulse #kid flash #wally west #bart allen #barry allen #speedsters

While im on the topic, the seething hatred by a huge chunk of this fandom towards Vaggie is so baffling to me. I'm not saying I expected her to be popular. I'm not new to loving an unpopular/ignored character. But the way some of these people go out of their way to misinterpret her so badly to justify their very vocal hatred for her is just such a huge shock.

#sometimes i feel like i see more people hate on vaggie than i see people hate on Valentino #yunno. the man who abuses and rapes one of the main characters on the reg? that one?? #meanwhile Vaggie's just a latina lesbian who's maybe a lil too dedicated to her gf #and she gets such vitriolic hate #my brother for example doesn't really like her much cuz he's really picky about voice acting #and im fine with it. to each their own #but even he's confused about the majority's reception of her #hazbin hotel #wait no that sounds mean #ummmm more like #he said he would have liked her a lot more if her voice actor was different #so he likes her fine #and no he doesn't hate ms beatriz. he just would have preferred someone else

i can't stop thinking how funny it would be if gareth's brothers did in fact recognise him and were just like 'well clearly he has his reasons so let's all be good big bros and pretend we don't know him' and then spend the next few weeks before he goes off on his quest pretending extremely badly that they have never ever met this kitchen boy before nope not at all even while other knights are looking at them and looking at gareth and going 'hmmm'

#gawain can't resist giving weird brotherly pep talks every time he passes him like 'keep up the good work kid! we're all rooting for you!' #and then turns to ragnelle to whisper loudly 'that was ok that was normal and convincing right' while she rolls her eyes #gaheris bumps into him in a corridor and startles like a deer and is like 'hahaha random kitchen boy i certainly have never met before what #fine weather we are having in these parts hahaha i shall be leaving now through the door over there good bye' and then #walks into a broom cupboard and has to awkwardly back out again while gareth stands there #holding a broom that he was just about to put back in the broom cupboard #agravaine nearly manages to pass by without incident while gareth is scrubbing floors but at the last second brotherly instinct takes over #and he kicks the bucket of suds over yelling 'you missed a spot dickwad!' before sprinting away #gareth is just 'wow my brothers are bigger freaks and weirdos than i remember i don't want to be associated with these losers' #meanwhile arthur is like 'kay can you please just tell them all that you know who he is because i cannot take this farce much longer' #kay: ... oh so now im not allowed to have fun am i? fucking tyrant

Ok last bit of TOTK saltiness for now but can we agree that trying to tell a linear story via the same collecting memories system was fucking dumb as hell

#fires posts #ramblings #totk #tears of the kingdom #It works in BOTW for a multitude of reasons #The story is non-linear and we KNOW what happens. We just don't know WHY #it serves more like snapshots of Link and Zelda's life than an overarching narrative. Meaning it's fine to get things out of order #and ultimately... the past is behind us. BOTW is as much about the future #MEANWHILE #TOTK is trying to tell a linear timeline of events in the most un-linear way possible #You HAVE to do the glyphs in order or risk being confused af #I can't imagine getting the 🗡 glyph early and having that plot turning point completely spoiled for eg #So you pretty much have to just traipse round the map to find the glyphs one by one (a boring chore) #Literally such a dumbass decision im sorry. At least the glyphs are pretty ig

new rgg fans will never know what they missed back in ye olden days of the fandom (like, 2019), doubly so now that scott strichart's deleted his twitter and jon riesenbach's privated. twitter was so fucking fun and then whatever-the-hell at sega of america happened and caused a fucking snowball effect and now we have shitass localization and resulting discourse that makes every release nigh unbearable, misinformation, confusion, people complaining about "bad writing/mischaracterization" not realizing it's because of the shitass english loc, i'm sitting here like jesus christ these loc bitches massacred saejima's character voice, people will never see him as he was intended, as original yakuza 5 localization Correctly painted him, and now they're coming for kiryu. god help us. we used to be a proper fandom. before everyone was subjected to the remastered localizations and shaky eng characterization. no one had even played yakuza 3-5, people still called morning glory "sunshine" orphanage, kiryu was our only protagonist and people still called him "boring", it was beautiful...

anyway gaiden uses affective instead of effective because the current localization team is full of careless dumbasses who don't give a fuck about ensuring they're using correct english grammar and this is not an isolated incident

#ada speaks #ive been playing through the series again from 0-5 and. yeesh #it goes from LIFE IS GOOD. LOC IS GOOD. to. oh. #yakuza 5's original localization is near perfect and they couldve made it better but instead #they opted for the cost cutting approach and decided NOT to retranslate and instead #just fucking. re-localized the localization and SO much is wrong. so much. #im playing simultaneously with a friend (myself on ps3 them on pc) and seeing the differences #and it happens in y3r and y4r too where #the original line is localized > the remastered line takes it and runs with it bc they have no original translation context #ie. in 3 rikiya says he likes 'wild' dancers. (re: strip club) it gets localized to be him liking 'aggressive' dancers. #in 3 remastered he says he likes AGGRESSIVE DOMINEERING WOMEN and that gets his Gears Turning #or. in 5 shinada says that uno is 'a little sad up top' re: his hair. and 5 remastered he says 'kinda mopey' #because they misunderstood the original english loc and so. completely fucked up the line to mean something else entirely #its like broken telephone #the same is SOMEHOW also happening in 8... i dont know HOW but somehow it fucking is #meanwhile im revisiting zero and going OH YEAH GOOD CHOICE. THAT MAKES SENSE. GREAT WRITING. WOW THAT'S AN A+ INTERPRETATION OF THAT LINE. #i miss the old loc team so bad. bring me back. #its mostly frustrating because i can see the shitass eng writing and still enjoy the game beneath it (unless it's not voiced.) but #i feel so bad for everyone flying blind and forced to take the loc at face value #its been like this since lost judgment but the main story was Fine (if a bit rushed) because. scott was still doing his thing #the substories in lost judgment also felt like they were of the same calibre (shit.) as remastered and. idk. #it seems like its been a shitshow at SoA behind the scenes for Years #and it shows.

A weird thing about reading ATB is definitely how relatable Tobio's "power" is as an epileptic person. Like just this description is like yeah that's exactly what its like when a seizure is coming on (and since auditory hallucinations are part of my seizures I can interpolate that from Tobio "communicating" with others)

What I kind of like about it is that sometimes Tobio will experience one of these "communications" and within seconds go back to what he was doing, basically unbothered. Which is sometimes just what seizures look like (and sometimes they don't even 'look' like anything and go completely unnoticed!) I'm sure they aren't deliberately going for epilepsy when writing this narrative but even so seeing a character experience relatively muted and unobtrusive "seizures" is kind of nice for a change

#atom the beginning #tobio tenma #I know that this is leading up to the looming horrible dread of what will happen to tobio later and is probably going to become worse #so like its probably going to become more dramatized in further chapters #but its still nice to see Tobio just go back to normal during one of these episodes while everyone around him is panicking #and hes just like im fine! :) bc thats how it usually is for me #a lot of it is people around me freaking out or getting super worried and meanwhile I am fine lol #but yeah definitely not a 1 to 1 because tobio is probably actively doing horrible damage to himself stop that child

Jujutsu Kaisen asks many important questions such as: mentally healthy daughters that are happy but racist OR son that isn’t racist but is so mentally unwell he rarely smiles and has no will to live

#there’s something really funny about Geto conceptually having raised the kids in his care better than Gojo #for a bunch of reasons #like I get there are other factors #but the only drawback to being with Geto was apparently the racism #meanwhile Megumi and Tsumiki got whatever you’d call their lot #comedic fr #the Habaras seem to like Geto too meanwhile you already know Gojo hates that Megumi doesn’t like acknowledging him #his own fault for being annoying but like. that’s hilarious #Geto didn't even make the girls racist im pretty sure they're fine with human things so that's hardly a downside. #also funny in jjk is that the jujutsu society is corrupt and wants them dead but Gojo is the one who stays and follows the rules #while Geto is the one who left. but instead of it being for a good moral reason like you’d expect from early flashbacks #it’s because he’s decided to start killing humans #he could’ve just stuck to that first village but nah has to kill all the humans now #‘sounds like a better plan than any’ says man who hasn’t slept in 3 days #Gojo stayed behind but also refused to do anything about criminal Geto indefinitely which is extra funny #why are they like that #jjk

Blondie walking into the room to see cupid lounging completely naked on her bed scrolling through hextagram:

Cupid noticing her and moving to wave, her boobs now fully on display: blondie! You’re back early :D whats with that look?

Blondie:

Blondie: dexter would have never survived dating you.

Cupid: what

#ever after high #blondie lockes #c.a cupid #dexter absolutely dodged a bullet he would have been a wreck #‘cmon dex! i want another round ;) ‘ #dexter crying ‘i cant- i physically cant go anymore- its been TWO HOURS cupid i cant go again 😭’ #‘thats fine!’ dexter has hope at cupids words ‘really? youre fine with it’ #cupid nods excitedly ‘yeah! its totally fine! we can just switch positions so im fucking you instead! so you dont have to get it up :D’ #‘wait what- what do you mean- oh. oh thats a dick.’ #dexter frowns as he notices something ‘why does everyone including my gf have a bigger dick than me?’ #dexter could not handle any of cupids constant nakedness or lust #meanwhile blondie is a total freak who is honestly a lil disappointed if cupid isnt naked and ready to go the moment she comes home #lets put it this way: #if dexter walked in tge bedroom to see cupid with even just basic bondage- he would be out of there. #if blondie walked in the room to see cupid as a literal bear with a dick- she would be undressing already. #im sorry i slipped in a bear cupid sex joke #silvers posts just reminded me of it so i have it on the mind 😭 #DAMN YOU BEAR CUPID

i love the companions' little inn living spaces bc 1) they're kind of paired off into roommates and the pairs are so interesting?? and 2) even though there's not a lot of space, their personalities totally shine through 🥹

astarion vs gale:

astarion's space is covered in bloody rags, which ofc it is, but also it kind of shows that he's not as neat and put together as he may appear... but on the other hand, he doesn't really need to be neat about his bed -- he's an elf, so he's not even really sleeping there LOL might as well use it as a kitchen (see: the bloody goblet)

meanwhile gale's space is painstakingly pristine and littered with books and other nerd stuff, plus a finely embroidered pillow with a bowl -- maybe for tara?

karlach vs lae'zel:

karlach uses her bed as a clothes pile LOL <3 but she's also got a bunch of books! (disclosure: i don't know her lore as thoroughly but,, perhaps she's catching up on things she's missed while in avernus?)

lae'zel's bed is neat and organized, but also covered in war trophies LOL. and then there's that small blood-stained rag in the front 😳 very intimidating, just like her

shadowheart vs wyll:

shadowheart's space has her shar worship items and is very neat -- she also keeps house plants! interesting how she enjoys caring for things that grow in the light... + i just noticed she and karlach have matching potted bushes 🥹

wyll's space seems somewhat sparse, but that makes sense given his backstory (exiled noble turned on-the-road adventurer) -- and there's that interesting little tray on his bedside table...

#chelle.txt #bg3 spoilers #i do think it's kind of funny (and sad) that all of astarion's clothing say smth along the lines of #'this article of clothing is very fancy and fine but has been painstakingly repaired numerous times' #like ;________; #meanwhile he's just tossing blood rags on his bed lol #but ig that's personal vanity vs some random inn bed he doesn't care about so that tracks LOL #i also find it funny that astarion and gale got paired together rather than wyll and gale #i wonder if it's bc astarion can't drink gale's blood LOL #and it's just a psychological barrier for the rest of the gang LOL #(like he could just walk over and drink wyll's if he rllyyyyyyy wanted lmao) #oh im jk idk if the pairs were intentional -- seems like it might just be alphabetical order #or maybe it was intentional and the alphabetical order is coincidence :-) #tav: lottie

so there's a Stop Making Sense cover album coming out in honor of the movie's 40th anniversary, and i listened to the preview tracks that are out, and the best thing about it so far, for me, is that its reminded me that Girlfriend is Better is a really fucking good song

#i think girl in red's cover is fun but whenever i listen to it i have to listen to the original afterwards and be like DAMN!!! #i don't really like that she jumps into the chorus and 'stop making sense' parts early- kind of messes with the build up of the song for me #the original track is so killer. a song of all time #nothing is better than that!!! #i need a text post tag #i love MUSIC!!!! AAAAAAA (as a casual listener... i don't know like. any fucking music theory or terminology) #the thing about most of the tracks out for the cover album so far #is that they're like. not really very transformative?? they're very straightforward #so hayley williams is obviously having fun and doing a fine job singing burning down the house #but also its like. this isn't bringing anything new to the table for me... very listenable though. burning down the house!!!! #meanwhile in the little preview she's done; miley cyrus is sure putting a spin on psycho killer. but i don't like it #very excited for the full album to drop because i want to hear what kevin abstract does with once in a lifetime #and i love the national but i'm kinda like. can they do anything interesting with Heaven? i hope so! but i'm kinda expecting to be let down #like they'll just cover it straight and it'll be like. yep that sure is the national covering heaven by talking heads #im hoping they'll add something fun with drums... it'd dramatically change the vibe of the song but like. i like the national's drums #at the end of the day i think part of the problem is that talking heads are a tough act to follow

Every day I am reminded that 90% of my problems would be solved if I actually listened to my intuition like ever

#my intuition: 'thats stupid. dont do that' #me: hm.. anyway ! :D #literally it does not register.. 😒 #ok so what i did that was embarrassingly stupid.... ugh ok.. eh.. #its like genuinely genuinely stupid ok like actually #ugh #ok so im making a new passport and i assumed that since the old one is old i didnt need it anymore #and so i cut out the cute little picture of myself for my travel journal and threw the rest of the passport away #meanwhile thinking: hmm. well this doesn't feel right but google said it was fine so i guess its fine. anyway look at that cute picture :D #and now i realise that the police need the old passport for when im taking out the new passport #so yes. embarrassingly stupid. there u go #i feel not great abt all this tbb. my brain has a tendency to overreact so now im convinced im not gonna be able to travel like i planned #plus im totally going to passport jail for idiots who cut up their own passport and throw them away #WHY LITERALLY WHY #i just wanted the cute little picture IM SORRY DONT TAKE ME TO JAIL 💔💔💔💔💔 #no but actually i do feel very not great about this genuinely actually genuinely </3 #the curse of scrapbooking i guess #is there a way i can tell the police im literally a neurodivergent (ex)minor ? and that this old passport thing is very offensive to me #anyhow.. yes its ok to laugh at my stupidity here but pls also remember im fragile 😢 💔 a poor little meow meow or something to that effect
