#and that concludes my rant

Okay so my idea of "bots change their optics to red because it's essentially like glasses" is haunting me because i meant it as an excuse for the TFP megatron blue —> megatron red optics, but the more i think if it, it actually makes some sense. Like, human eyes have a lot of problems occur, and these problems have many solutions (specialized glasses, eyepatches to protect the eye, various surgeries and even implants or transplants for the eye) and since Cybertronians don't get the immune system shit trick like we do, they can probably upgrade or repair a pair or a single optic much better than we can. Now, i do think some bots are created with red optics, but not nearly as many as other colors or those who artificially have red optics.

And fr it does seem more practical to have an additional magnifying layer of glass added to your optics rather than always having to wear glasses. Though, I'm betting you can also choose to get a visor and there would be drawbacks to each option.

Seems like you can't easily replace an optic if it was entirely lost, sorry tfp Breakdown :(

#and that concludes my rant #tf worldbuilding? #transformers #mostly transformers prime #i say this because i drew a spinocon while doodling for the pfp for my new blog and I like mismatched optics because i can't choose shit #and this theory actually makes sense because think about how many human people have an injury or issues with just one eye #you guys know what i mean by the immune system shit trick :)

People who criticise Beauty and the Beast, usually do it over the complaint that it romanticised Stockholm syndrome and how the message of the film is trying to encourage women to stay with abusive men.

Excuse me?

Give me one scene where Belle tolerated the Beast's anger, where she wasn't angry, upset or afraid because of it. Belle left the moment she got the chance, only changing her mind when the Beast saved her life, but even then she didn't take any of his shit. Belle was kind but she wasn't a doormat, and it's that kindness that prompted the Beast to be kind in turn and try to change and be a better person. And while Beast might have changed in part with the hope that Belle would break his curse by falling in love with him, she never knew about the curse at all. It wasn't used by the Beast as some bargaining chip or sad backstory. Did people forget that he let Belle go, fully intending to stay cursed forever, if it meant he could help Belle save her father?

Belle never fell in love or chose to excuse the Beast's anger or the way he treated her and her father initially.

Belle fell in love with someone who was trully trying to be a better person, who took interest in her and the things she enjoyed, and who put her needs before his own when it came down to it.

Can I Talk About How Much I Love Willow Park for a Moment?

I've talked before about how Hunter and Luz are my favorite characters in toh but she's probably my third favorite and sometimes I literally want to worship the ground her little animated boots walk on. For one, she's Asian-coded and plus-sized, which is rare enough (the only other example I can think of is Glimmer from She-ra, who I also love), but she's actually well-written and complex in the way a lot of diverse characters aren't. She's canonically pansexual, which is a community that gets so little representation its heartbreaking. On top of that, she's in a healthy relationship with someone of the opposite gender, which isn't often seen with bi and pan characters. She's an extremely powerful witch but she struggles with self-esteem issues. She's allowed to be stressed and exceed her limits and break down and have emotions. She's strong and independent without putting other people down. She's kind and compassionate without being a pushover. She's reliable and tough but has limits. She's cute and girly but also a little gremlin. She has an absolutely wonderful character arc and helps save the world. I love her so much I can't even express it.

#also look at her little face #anyway that concludes my rant #I saw a post calling her a pick me for her breakdown in for the future and I just like ????? #and then of course I had to passive aggressively write this #willow park #willow park appreciation post #toh #the owl house #huntlow #pro willow park

since i have a lot of new followers from outside the fandom and this continues to be a constant topic of conversation i’d just like to remind everyone that im not writing about underage 16 year olds im writing about fully grown adult men who, in an alternate timeline (omg!), are college students.

(lorenzo zurzolo, benjamin wadsworth, christian coulson [who was literally 23 in COS might i add], louis partridge etc etc etc are all grown ass adults irl. that is how i see&write them.)

#if you cannot understand that then kindly see yourself out #this really isn’t a difficult concept to comprehend #sorry for sound like an actual b word i’m just tired of this tbh #this is fanfiction expand your mind #most of these are literally fancasted characters on top of it #we have precisely one percent lore about majority of them #christian coulson was literally 23 in COS #yes 23 #the hate in this fandom lately is outrageous #can’t we all just live laugh love? #anyways this concludes my rant for the evening #any hate or negativity will simply be blocked ok thank u love u guys xoxo

[kaz-playz]

so what languages do you think the states speak besides english? :D

For states who have dying or extinct native languages -depending on their population and endangerment level- are headcanoned as no longer able to speak them or not as fluent in them. Because the states are meants to be reflection of theyre population. Let me know if i handled this poorly of if something sounds off and you want me to clarify!

So like you said, we have the states that badically everyone agrees speak spanish (FL, NM, AZ, CA, TX)

They all use mexican spanish, but they all know spain spanish (there is a difference)

And then loui with french (creole french)

Then the more unexpected spanish speakers - UT and NV.

I think the states with the highest Native populations speak/understand them. Like Hawai'i speaks Hawai'ian, japanese, and English

And Alaska speaks, Eskaleut and Tsimshianic languages along with several other indigenous languages, before moving on to Russian and English

Texas (if you headcanon system texas) has a translator living in his head at all times because houstonians speak a shit ton of languages (and while ist not the city that speaks the most, i bet houston is the only one willing to translate bcs Los Angeles and NYC are yk. Them.) so he knows all the gossip, he's just above spreading it.

Illinois speaks french (like french-french) and used to speak Irenwe As did missouri, indiana, and ohio. Illinois also speaks polish.

I also think NY and most of the NE speak dutch but NY canonically speaks italian.

AZ and NM also speak Navajo.

Most of the midwest speaks german, with the exeptions of the states with the highest indigenous population as they speak both the indigenous language and the settler languages.

OK speaks spanish, and shawnee

-PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE! Do your own research on this stuff. This is just surface level, do not take these loose headcanons and run with them just because they have wikipedia links attached! Look into this further if it intrests you.

i just came across ai covers on youtube and people are requesting songs in the comments instead of getting enraged and i am further losing hope in humanity and turning to misanthropy

#meins #for a minute i got really excited about henning may singing take me to church :( #i hate people #have you no appreciation for or understanding of art? clearly not. #why would you want to listen to an ai generated song? even if it sounds like your favourite singer it's not them #it has no feelings to meaning to intention. it is empty and soulless #reading the booklet for sinéad o'connor's album of traditional irish and folk songs gave me so much appreciation for her #she wrote a little bit about each song. why she chose it or what it means to her. #it has added so much to my enjoyment of those songs and i think of it whenver i listen to it #they were chosen with intention with love with a deep appreciation for the music and lyrics and there is a story behind it all #it is art and love and human #i see aboslutely no appeal in ai generated 'music' or 'art' #and i hate that i fell for it for a minute #i was sceptical because i had never heard of henning may covering hozier and since it wasn't just 20-60 sec i am certain #i would have heard about it by now #and something was just a little bit... unsatisfying? something was missing which does apply to a lot of cover songs #(i could go on hour long rants about why people fuck up danny boy (and sinéad o'connor does it best (because she actually takes her time) #or trash madonna's version of don't cry for me argentina (again a song ruined for by everybody else but sinéad - once she has sung somethin #i have a hard time enjoying it by anybody else. the parting glass is an exception. hozier's version is phenomenal)) #but! henning may not giving it his all for a cover? unlikely. very unlikely. #anyway this concludes my tuesday night rant. rather here in the tags than some poor person's inbox. #or i would have kept fuming by myself for another hour or two

i am officially, FINALLY all caught up again in both the manga and the anime for bsd and OH BOY there are thoughts and opinions but also WHO CARES because my tags are finally FREE to be unfiltered

#hnnnnnn #i am SO happy #i am BEYOND happy #i love the arc even if i complain about it a lot #but i am also hnnnnnn…….displeased……..with a few things #the anime fr about to catch these hands #i already KNEW they were rushing it from the few episodes i had watched #but the anime is usually SO good at pacing #that i fully trusted that certain things would be slowed down for significance/impact/etc #but instead the pacing just stayed WAY too fast for me #and they ended up cutting SO many small moments that had SO much importance like im going crazy about some of them #some of the lines they cut……. #or even adjusted slightly that it drew away the impact #ugh i KNOW there was a LOT to balance and a LOT of content to get through #but i am a little disappointed that so many emotional scenes were what ended up suffering for it #this is why i don’t usually like reading the manga for animes i watch #i always end up getting disappointed by the limitations of adaptations #that being said though regardless of general limitations i don’t think some of the rushing is above criticism #and i am going to go and eat glass while seething over the particularly offensive rushing/cuts😤 #OKAY DONE that’s the last i’ll say about it i would just go crazy if i didn’t vocalize it somewhere #in general i was VERY happy with the arc in both the manga and the anime i have SO much love for it #definitely a favorite for me #and THAT concludes my very vague no spoiler review #i swear one of these days my self control is going to snap #and im just going to start posting my full essays and content analysis shit about everything i watch here #but for now we’re safe and all my rants will stay spoiler free tag paragraphs instead godbless🙏

I want to offer a few words of encouragement to fellow artists (including writers, musicians, performers, and editors too since that's also art!) given how AI is growing to be of substantial proportions and I've been seeing people feel discouraged due to that.

First and foremost, you're a human person. No matter how your art may be, the fact that it was made by a human person won't change. The art you put out to the world or keep to yourself matters because it's something you put in at least some time and effort into. To make something yourself is commendable enough!

No matter how well AI will be developed, it's not going to change the fact that you're a human being behind the screen. Even outside of being a creator, you should still be treated with basic human dignity.

To anyone who wants to take up the skill or develop them, don't let AI stop you! Be patient with yourself because this is something that takes a lot of time, but the only thing required to be an artist is choosing to be one! By choosing to do art, you're an artist by default. Art is something anybody can do, after all!

#my ramblings #i ought to be more vocally critical of unethical ai since a lot of (specifically unethical since there's a difference) ai is alarming #not to mention the potential environmental impacts considering the physical elements needed for ai tools #i was always iffy with ai but i didn't want to potentially ruin people's fun with some programs though i gotta speak up y'know #especially when one form of ai is condemned but another is still used (again specifically unethical ai) like ai voices #rant in the tags over but i will conclude that you're an artist just by choosing to do art and that everyone should be respected as humans #(actually if someone wants me to elaborate on critical unethical ai points then feel free to invade my inbox because i will provide sources

Spamton is such a nuanced character that I feel one tumblr post will never be able to do him justice.

Yes, I do think he's a bit more battered bc he's living in dumpsters. No, I don’t think he has grey hair. Stuff like this is So complicated. At most I just want ppl to stop treating 40 as Old.

oh for sure! if anything it should serve as food for thought, why do you characterize him this way or that? bending canon or adding things that arent canon is part of the fun in building up your interpretation & understanding of characters you love!

with the lifestyle hes been forced to live its unlikely hes able to be as presentable as he wants to be. he doesnt have access to the same luxuries most ppl do but he does his best. i personally like the grey hair (ahem ahem i think its attractive) bc iirc hair can start greying from stress which. hes dealt with a lot of stress in his life, wouldnt be surprising if it started to show, but also hair can just turn grey faster for some ppl :p

i 100% agree that ppl need to stop acting like 40 is so old!!!! ill say it to my parents as a joke but rlly 40 is just like. middle aged. i cannot in good faith say im an old men enjoyer i am a middle aged men enjoyer my babygirls are Not Old. smth smth if ppl saw the old men real old man fans liked theyd hurl

#i love spamton so so much he give sme so much to think abt ggrrgagahhhh #im dying to draw him again & look over my design & characterization but the dragons have me in a chokehold rn #tho id like 2 note. i think i like him being so short bc it lends to the puppet theme in my head; sort of uncanny like a ventriloquist doll #ppl tend to find him unsettling & ppl also find large dolls & puppets unsettling it just works 2 me!! matches with his canon hinged jaw #ik the ball joints are a hc but listen 2 me. ball joints are so cool & so pretty & how else is he gonna be articulated with a puppet body!!! #this concludes my tags rant #ask :) #the gift menace 🎨 #spamton

[its-toguchi-do-now]

an incomplete list of everything that ticked me off about the all-valley tournament, from a real martial artist:

why are they all on the same skill level? kk1 at least had the decency to textually lie about daniel being a black belt

furthermore, where the fuck is the age bracket? there is no world where an 11-year-old would be allowed to fight a 17-year-old in a legitimate tournament! that's not how it works! are you listening to me writers i'll fucking kill you for this

gender brackets are a thing but the all-valley is just. so fucking small. i've been to mini-tournaments with more people than that and we didn't have gender brackets

ALSO unrelated but i fucking hate it when they announce the "first ever female winner" of something and it's because they changed the rules so they could win. not like if they weren't allowed to fight in the first place but honestly if cobra kai wanted the samtory rematch they should've just let them beat all the guys. fuck you if you think tory couldn't beat robby's ass

SPEAKING OF changing the rules WHY WAS THERE ONLY ONE JUDGE??? THERE'S NEVER ONLY ONE JUDGE. YOU HAVE THREE SO THAT ALL POINTS CAN BE CALLED AND YOU DON'T HAVE BIASED JUDGING. I WILL LITERALLY KILL BECAUSE OF THIS POINT DID THEY DO NO FUCKING RESEARCH

again, WHY THE FUCK DID A MIDDLE SCHOOLER FIGHT AN ALMOST ADULT

WHO IS RUNNING THIS FUCKING TOURNAMENT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT

why was there no protective equipment i mean sure in some styles they don't do that but hawk shouldn't have been allowed to fight shirtless at least

#this concludes my rant. for now #cobra kai #all valley tournament #i will literally kill the writers #how to tell the writers have never been to a real martial arts tournament istg

[pigeonriot]

sometimes friends do sth (or dont do sth) that kind of hurts me but it is ultimately not bc they did sth wrong, its just bc of my own issues and i wish i could voice my frustration but i cant talk to them abt it bc it is *not their fault* and i dont want them to feel bad abt it but i also cant talk to anyone else abt it bc it makes me feel iffy to talk abt my friends like that and i also feel like making a small thing a much bigger issue than it is and fdffhfdh i just wish i could deal w stuff better

#to conclude: i am a disaster communicator. #(also pls nobody offer that i can talk to them abt it fddfhjfhj) #(just saying bc ppl have offered this before and i know it is meant well but doesnt rlly help the core issue which is me dhfdhjfd) #(hjdfhhfd i just need to rant) #my post #rant #personal
