#but i have faith in them

[wickymicky]

2022 was probably my least favorite year for kpop since i started listening to kpop. like, month-to-month, week-to-week, it had the lowest percentage of songs that i loved of any of the years that i’ve been a kpop fan. there were some great songs, for sure, but i’m just saying overall. and that had a number of factors, it can’t be blamed on one thing in particular. also, it just comes down to my own personal taste. like maybe it was my least favorite year, but someone else had like dozens of songs that they love. it’s possible.

but 2023 so far is like blowing it out of the water lol. it’s only march, so i cant extrapolate and figure out how the rest of the year will go, because obviously nobody really knows that, but at the very least on the month-to-month week-to-week basis, the ratio of great songs to underwhelming songs is really high in the great songs’ favor. like i think a lot of the stuff so far has been really good, and i’ve only been disappointed by a few things i’ve heard. i have a top 3 kpop songs of the year so far, and each of those 3 songs came out in each of the 3 months. which is pretty good lol, i hope that trend continues.

and like a bunch of groups who kinda disappointed or underwhelmed me last year are recovering and putting out stuff that’s not just better than last year, but some of their best songs ever. i’ve been pretty impressed by the quality of stuff lately. knock on wood.

#hey fingers crossed for everglow weeekly and lightsum now too #hoping they come back soon #it's at least looking kinda like everglow finally might #they were one of the biggest reasons that 2022 sucked... because they didnt put anything out last year #but i have faith in them #it does suck that lightsum are entering the same kind of ''where are they'' long hiatus tier that everglow and weeekly are in though #someone on twitter pointed out that its been like 300something days #which sucks because Alive was really really good #cube's got a lot going on right now and none of it is good for them #so we'll see what happens. theyre still posting and doing things. i've got notifications on. anyway

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

#the truman show #sbs rambles #I keep thinking about how children on popular youtube channels should probably have laws to protect them #social workers assigned to them maybe #I dunno #they did not sign up to have their lives sold for profit #but here we are #tho #I guess none of us signed up for it #and our data is harvested more than ever #god #high-tech capitalism sucks turns out #OH WAIT because tumblr is bad at getting context sometimes #let me specify: #I am not saying that the movie The Truman Show is bad or that it normalizes this #like all good sci-fi (because it is kind of sci-fi) it's there to warn us of what the future could hold #and it did that in a very good way - it's a beautiful movie #I could see someone with a bad faith take assuming I meant that it was part of the problem #it absolutely wasn't. it didn't normalize this; we did #youtube did and social media #it's us that's the problem #or more specifically: big corporations and a lack of regulation #that's the origin of most modern problems

The juxtaposition of these two posts has me thinking it's Ear from the first post waking them up, and Machete is just like "...I'm really not pleased but I'm also not going to be angry because that's not what Ear needs right now."

.

#aaaa nooo I swear I didn't mean for them to have anything to do with each other :'V #I don't think they would look this actively peeved if it was their Ear waking them up #it wasn't Ear's fault #answered #feral-renaissance-cat #in canon kid Machete threw up a million times and was on the other end of this situation more times than he can remember #I have faith he'd be invested in trying to do better job than his parents did #kid named ear

"Did you, uh... ever meet him?"

"Yes. Seemed a very bright young man. I showed him all the kingdoms of the world."

"Why?"

"He's a carpenter from Galilee. His travel opportunities are limited. [...] That's got to hurt. What was it he said that got everyone so upset?"

"'Be kind to each other.'"

"Oh, yeah. That'll do it."

#as funny as this dialogue is #the “be kind to each other” “yeah that'll do it” part is a summary of every faith crisis I have #you would think that religious people are kind to each other #mostly that's not the case #tell them to be kind and they'll be aggravated as if you personally insulted them #good omens #fanart #traditional #crowley #david tennant #aziraphale #michael sheen

speaking of wounds sometimes I see posts on here that are like "discussion/depiction of wounds is more about metaphorical intimacy nobody means they're literally erotic" like no they're sexual actually. to me.

#they have fluids & everything people are just afraid to be Conceptually Messy #thoughts #meat tag. #this isn't about op of the last post btw i have faith in them. some of the notes however

[ladybeug]

the other day at work i saw someone with platform uggs. just thought you might enjoy that

Thats it. Thats the comic. Im using that horror movie technique where its scarier if you don't see the monster.

anyways this is such a throwback. you always send me the shit that somehow makes me laugh, I am remembering a specific one that I swear was ten years ago. anyways

#posting bullshit like this is always a leap of faith #i draw this stuff and think this time its too stupid #but if i cant be my true stupid self on my own stupid fandom tumblr then really what is there for me #ladybugg #I opened that tag to put it in this post and forgot i drew SO MUCH stuff about it #god the stupider an AU is the more fucking nuts i go with the content #any time i have an emotional AU you guys get like 2 pieces of content at most. I keep all the juicy shit in my head. #but if I think about them wearing uggs? you get a nonstop barrage #my art

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.

Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.

Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

#I’ve said my piece goodnight #don’t play with me Mace Antis I have receipts for every last one of these #pretty much everyone agrees that he was the best duelist there was and he obviously won the fight #Anakin's choice wouldn't make thematic sense otherwise #also vader did not defeat palpatine in combat sorry he just grabbed him while he was distracted #it literally had to be a fair fight and Anakin had to be the one to choose to create the empire that's what the prequels are about #Star Wars databank calls him ‘revered’ shatterpoint tells us he was the youngest (real) member of the council #Boba Fett (tcw) and Prosset Dibs (comics) tried to kill him and he asked for amnesty and forgave them #literally just watch the Ryloth arc he spends most of his screentime saving his men #in tcw season seven he pleads with the battle droids to surrender hoping that no one else has to die #there's the part near the end of tcw where the council realizes that the clones were created by Dooku but Mace and the rest of the council #trust the clones so much they're willing to ignore it #the scene from Mace's POV in the rots novelization talks about how much he loves the republic and how he was blindsided by Anakin's betraya #because he trusted him!! we see in aotc that he has more faith in Anakin's abilities than Obi-wan #and he defeated the most powerful sith of all time single-handedly #BEST JEDI EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! #sw prequels #star wars prequels #prequel trilogy #sw prequel trilogy #star wars prequel trilogy #sw rots #star wars rots #revenge of the sith #star wars revenge of the sith #galactic republic #pro mace windu #mace windu #pro jedi order #pro jedi

dear lesboy (and tbh any other nuanced identity) exclusionists who think your vein of thought is the majority in queer spaces id like to inform you that today at lunch with my (entirely queer) friend group the topic drifted to me being a butch lesbian and one friend goes "wait i thought you were a guy?" and i said "i am" and another friend interjected "dudes can be lesbians too" and that was that. no further probing about my identity, nohing about how im "invalidating transmen and lesbians", or whatever. everyone just accepted that thats how i identify and i dont owe an explanation for it and moved on. i promise u its not that deep 👍

#i love both of those friends dearly #doinkus.txt #mogai #lgbtq #liom #transmasc #lesboy #boydyke #male lesbian #bi lesbian #mspec lesbian #pro good faith #rad inclus #radical inclusion #queer #trans #obligatory disclaimer that i am not *just* a boydyke i am also a girlfag thanks <3 #wasnt relevant to the post tho because only but butch-boy-dyke identity was brought up in the convo #i have said to them b4 that im gaybian though amd again no one was upset about it lmaoo

So many of you are genuinely monsters and you think you're the heroes. Forgive me for not believing that any of you ever actually gave a shit about Palestinians, as you sit here in your pro-hamas rallies with swastika flags while you chant "gas the jews!" and tear down posters of kidnapped hostages. You glorify Hamas, the terrorist organization that uses and abuses Palestinians, that shoots them if they try to evacuate from zones that Israel has warned they're going to strike.

You have been silent for decades while Lebanon and Jordan keep their Palestinian population in refugee camps. You have been silent when no other neighboring country has given Palestinians citizenship status that would enable them to live a comfortable, normal life. You were silent when Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas rockets misfire and kill innocent Palestinians. You were silent when Hamas steals aid meant for civilians. You were silent when Hamas dug up water pipes from the ground so that they could make more rockets.

If you were silent then, you're using Palestinians as a mask for your Jew-hatred. If you want to really advocate for Palestinians, keep the same energy for every country, not just the only Jewish state, and try to educate yourself on what Israelis have been doing to try to help Palestinians, because I promise you it's way more than you've ever done in your life.

#how can i believe or trust you if youre using photos and videos of syrian kids being killed and saying theyre palestinian #not to mention the fact that every single message i get from someone claiming to be a palestinian supporter is just straight up violent #the amount of times ive been called a kike and told that theyre happy my people are dead #how can i believe you arent a fucking monster if these are the messages im getting and this is whats happening #how can i believe you are acting in good faith if you are cheering on the death of jews #and if you havent done jack shit for palestinians before this #if you didnt do an ounce of research #if you watch these fake videos coming out of pallywood that have been debunked so many times and use the same actors #and you dont try to factcheck them at all #and you just eat up anything hamas says

Been thinking about the X-Files recently. A show I have a hazy, but fond memory of.

#the x files #x files #fox mulder #dana scully #poorly drawn x files #is this going to be a thing? maybe? #iirc: The x-files is about two FBI agents who are trying so hard to be professional and not fall in love. And everything is a conspiracy. #...It *has* been nearly a decade since I saw the x files. I think I'd have a hard time rewatching for a few reasons but I did enjoy it. #This was initially just a work doodle I wasn't going to clean up #but the amount of x-files fans that Ive seen about + Lazycranberryart's wangxian x-files art got my brain too fired up. #Mulderscully vibes are like: "I'm her silly rabbit. she doesn't call me that outloud. But I believe in my heart it's true.' #Its about having faith and trust in each other! They might not always agree either but they have each other's backs! #Scully is 100% the one that kills the spiders in the relationship. Mulder wants to rescue them but his ideals aren't strong enough #Girl Daddy and Baby Girl Boy. That's who they are to me.

Some Atla fans are deeply unwilling to engage with the fact that their beloved series may bear the marks of being written by two white men in the early 2000s. They can’t conceive that the show might’ve been anything less than perfect and that there are certain problematic elements within it that are consistently overlooked by the fandom at large.

#hence why discussing Hama is an excercise in futility #They refuse to hear it they refuse to hear that Hama was unfairly vilified by the narrative (a pattern that pervades through the subsequent #episodes as well) #Maybe I’m just a hater but sometimes I can’t believe how much faith fans have in the politics of Bryke and idolize them as the perfect #storytellers #avatar the last airbender #atla #atla netflix #avatar live action #anti bryke #atla critical #atla discourse #fandom
