#but i wonder what the general opinion is

[sokoe]

A question for sims 2 players! I've recently started playing the Goths and i wonder.

#please explain your choice in the tags or comments! #the sims 2 #ts2 #polls #simblr #the sims #mortimer goth #bella goth #goth family #i love that in this game everyone can have a different interpretation of a character and like no one can tell you that you are wrong. lol #but i wonder what the general opinion is #like personally i think that his memory about bella's abduction being positive could stem from him being a scientist #like i imagine he met dina and she used his interest in aliens to convince him to do that #so he was complicit but i don't think he's done that because he wanted to get rid of bella #but because he's this mad scientist and really thought that it would be a great experience for her #maybe he still does. i haven't thought this through to be honest and haven't done any research so sorry if there actually is some sort of #general opinion already #i'm still kinda new to ts2 lore so please don't eat me haha #oh and btw im planning on drawing sth pleasantview! #i know i haven't posted any fanart for a long time but i was kinda busy and either practicing or making drawings for irl people #but yeah probably some goth drawing! #dlaczego oni sie nazywali ćwir w polskim tłumaczeniu dkshddj #wait może to byla gra słów bo sie rymuje ze świr? to by było. nieuprzejme

not to be true crime posting on main but i think i'm falling down the wm3 rabbit hole again

#xenia.txt #when i tell you this case keeps me up at night to this day #not even the murders themselves as much as the general public's reception to and opinions on the case 3 decades later like #i get why it;s always been so divisive especially after the pl docus came out (lots of opinions on those btw none of them are good #from the bottom of my heart fuck you joe berlinger and bruce sinofsky) #but it's truly baffling how no one is willing to do the research on what is arguably THE most well documented true crime case in recent #history like. everything that's ever been released to the general public is available online and i mean everything #you can find all the court files trial transcripts depositions interogation tapes aerial photos you name it it's out there for anyone with #internet connection to access at any and all hours of the day #and yet people are still foaming at the mouth fighting on reddit abt their innocence based off nothing but a couple of movies like #bffr with me right now!! almost every point the innocenters make can be easily debunked by scrolling through callahan for 15 minutes #'but they've been pushing for dna testing since their release so they can't be guilty' baby the case is closed! #it's been closed the second they took the plea. they can be striking under that courthouse and it still won't change a thing and they knowi #that's why they're pushing for it in the first place but that's just my opinion #^ and i say they but it's really only echols which makes a lot of sense to me personally #and if you want to talk abt dna testing let's talk abt the one that was done in 2011 and how the defense hurried to propose the plea as soo #as they got the results! let's talk abt those cause no one's ever seen them and i would very much like to #braga share the results the people want to know!! #makes me wonder which pieces of evidence they even submitted for that 2011 testing because if i'm remembering correctly #there was one that would've closed this case instantly and maybe that's why the results were never disclosed and the plea was rushed #but that's also just my opinion #and it's also interesting how the majority of people who have in fact deep dived into this case #(and i'm not talking abt big true crime youtubers as i'm very sceptical abt their research abilities) #all collectively lean towards guilty. much to think about #i was hoping someone would make another ~actually~ unbiased documentary for the 30th anniversary and go over all the case files #but i don't think that's even realistic at this point seeing as everyone and their mother has some sort of an opinion on this case #hbo deserves another lawsuit for this. they should've never won the first one in the first place #true crime tw

I’m honestly surprised that people are saying Keanu reeves is a bad choice despite the popular fan discussions about it. Where I’m at in the internet, he’s considered a good choice and people were excited.

i cant speak for everyone obviously but ive always thought he was a bad choice for shadow ever since the idea started going around 2 years ago. because from what ive heard personally he doesnt really sound like shadow + i hate it when big movie stars are given voice acting roles in movie adaptations just to have a big name attached to the project even if theyre not good for the role. and this definitely feels like that. back in the day people were only saying he should be shadow NOT because his voice actually fits but because hes an edgy action guy or whatever and movie sonic is canonically a fan of him/his movies and they could make jokes out of that. and i feel like thats Still what a lot of peoples reasoning is which annoys me because shadow isnt just an edgy action guy and i dont think his voice should be chosen based on a joke of all things especially if the voice isnt fitting enough to justify it

not gonna say my opinion is the most popular but i know that there are a lot of people who agree with me on this, or at the very least are unsure about it. a lot of people dont want him

#i also have to wonder how many people who wanted keanu or are excited about the supposed casting are actual sonic fans ....? #like im not trying to gatekeep or say anybody whos said he'd be a good fit is a fake fan or whatever #but . ive seen a lottt of dedicated sonic fans and people who are very familiar with shadow say they hate this #in fact most if not all people ive seen saying theyhate it are in that category #and ive also seen a lot of people whos interest in sonic ranges from very very casual to practically nonexistent comment on this too #and theyre the ones who only have positive things to say and think this is an epic win or something #so i have to wonder how popular a choice it is among not so casual sonic fans. particularly ones who really like shadow #compared to how popular a choice it is among the general internet #and not to be mean but i honestly think that actual fans' opinions matter more than random internet users' with this sort of thing lmao #asks #i suppose theres no way to know for certain right now if his voice would fit #since theres no clips of him specifically doing the voice that he would give to shadow #but. from what i personally have heard. he doesnt sound like shadow to me #not even in a ''different take than what im used to but still fits the character'' kind of way. just doenst work at all

western people using the hammer and sickle in the year 2024 and saying "it doesn't stand for that anymore!!" really ought to keep up with who's flying their fucking flag and what it does stand for these days

#i open a video essay on youtube. the talking head's background posters load. i lose 5hp repeating over the next 20min #i absorb 20% less of the video essay as i wonder what this says about the talking head's opinions re: the genocidal invasion of my country #must be nice to not have to think about this! unfortunately im ukrainian and that symbol does not represent a hypothetical bright future #not just TO ME mind you just in general. it only represented a bright future to those who deported my ancestors and terrorised my parents #and now also to those who are continuing the extermination efforts on my own generation :-) that's the hammer & sickle for ya! #personal

I am curious

#miraculous poll #tikki #plagg #kwamis #now that there are polls I can find out cause I have always wondered #now if miraculous were Europe based they'd be an amazing duo #especially as they still very much have ties to their luck based origins #while ladybugs are largely recognized as lucky Europe is where they thrive in culture #and black cats being unlucky originated from Europe specifically #China they're actually lucky #if they wanted themes of bad luck should've done wolf or owl #but representing yin-yang in a Taoism box? #to me that gets iffy #especially as they're still working off the European associations #so yeah I'm curious what general opinion is

note to self: if you have repeatedly been made to feel some type of way about your silly little doodles by someone in the past, don't fucking draw them something for their birthday.

#i shouldn't have fucking bothered #i absolutely fucking shouldn't have. i don't know why i did. #i don't even know why he asked #now i'm sitting here wondering if anybody ever genuinely has liked anything i've ever made them #or if it's always just: *grits teeth* gee thanks #and i'm just too fucking dumb to notice #obviously i know that it's not the greatest thing ever because it's not something i'm used to drawing #and i won't pretend that i'm good at drawing in general #but jesus fucking christ. looking at it sideways scratching your head and “thanks for trying”?? #and then you can't even give me constructive criticism on what i could change to make it better. #a slap across the face would've been nicer #thanks man i don't ever want to draw again #i've gotten this reaction in the past and y'know what. maybe i should actually listen! and learn! and stop! #i also don't know why i keep asking him for his opinion on things. it's almost as if i like repeatedly walking into a wall head first. #bug.txt

Starting to be really fascinated by Ludinus as a character. Like, as far as I can tell, he really does think of himself and his actions as selfless. "Let me be your villain, if it means liberation for all and forever," he says, and he means it.

Unlike many other powerful, evil mages, he doesn't actually care about gaining power. He doesn’t seek immortality and godhood, greater magics to shape the natural world, the power to rule nations and peoples. Causing the fall of Molaesmyr? Starting the notoriously evil-wizard-shaping Cerberus Assembly? Starting a war in Wildemount? All but a means to an end, and the end is freedom for all. On some level he even seems to understand that he isn't a good person, that he's caused immeasurable harm to countless people (hence the 'let me be your villain' part), but it’s all worth it, because it's done to save all.

The thing is, I suspect a young Ludinus wasn't so different from, say, Essek Thelyss. If he truly was active during the glory days of Aeor, he was likely as high on his own power as anyone. Like Essek, seeking knowledge and magical 'progress' simply for the sake of it. Because he wanted to. Because he could. People and nations were collateral because people and nations don't matter, not compared to knowledge and magic. Like Essek once said, the intentions were never good, they were important. Then the Calamity happened, and Aeor was struck from the sky, and suddenly Ludinus was given a cause.

Ludinus is what Essek could have been, had he thought his intentions were, in fact, good, even as they cause great harm. All Ludinus's methods and beliefs are the same as before the Calamity. Fundamentally, he’s the same person as before. People still don’t matter. Only now, he can tell them that they do, and after having done so for a thousand years maybe he even believes it a little. He’s trying to help! He doesn’t actually care about helping; he cares about unseating the gods because they slighted him, but help will still come out of it, in his opinion. In that pursuit, everything - magic, methods, morals, people - are nothing but a means to an end.

What would he even do, if everything went to plan? The gods gone, mortals free from fate? Would he know what to do with himself, how to return to someone wanting knowledge and magic just for the sake of it? Or has a thousand years of treating it as a tool killed the joy and awe of it? Would he simply stand there in this new, free world of his creation, and suddenly ask, "What am I supposed to do with this now that I have it?" Because in the end, what he wants isn't freedom for all; it’s revenge. And revenge absorbs everything, even the one seeking it, until its completion leaves you but a hollow shell even in a world made better.

I will once again state for the record that my issues with generative AI begin when money starts changing hands or individual artists are materially affected by the output of prompt jockeys (impersonation, etc) and I don't consider use of it otherwise to be a huge deal.

Lizard Brain gets jumpy about the idea of creative output being outsourced to machines but like. until neural nets become ACTUALLY intelligent, Smart Brain knows that there's no real replacement for a human being who can make real revisions and critique and adjustments and deliberate choices instead of an algorithm that places pixels down based on the data in its training set.

#spitblaze says things #and at THAT point i cant imagine that the creative output of real intelligent sentient ai would be anything close to human art #i wonder what a machine would create if it could #do robots dream of electric sheep etc #YES the datasets are unethical theres a lot of fucking issues with that. assuming that all got solved. this is my opinion #the gay sex cats are fine they make me uncomfy bc of lizard brain but i recognize that its not materially different than a complex photosho #i mean it is. but i feel like random internet photos are generally less egregious in use than. yknow. Artwork #dont ask me to elaborate this is a gut opinion not an informed academic take

is lifeweaver's gold arm/hand a prosthetic or is it like a glove or something

#blab #i think i saw an argument for the latter but i was wondering if there was an argument for the former? #or just wondering what the general opinion is. im not really pressed either way #delete later

[pigeonwit]

every time i want to express a newsies opinion i remember the time i made one vague comment about a fic in the newsies ao3 tag and got more responses than my 10 follower having ass had ever gotten, none of which were about the fic i was actually talking about, all of which became more polarizing, judgemental and aggressive on both ends of an argument that i was not making, and then got accused of being an anti-intellectual pro-censorship sanitizer of queer fanfic who clearly needs to grow up. and again none of this was even close to the fic i was referencing.

#one of the reblogs was 'LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!' GIRL WHAT PEOPLE #THE BACK OF WHAT?? #WHAT POINT IS BEING MADE HERE CAUSE I DO NOT KNOW #yall have no idea how terrified i am posting fic and headcanons and just general opinion posts now. #i spent four years!!! purposefully excluding myself from fandom!!! to better myself and my content!!! #and id been back for like two seconds and was immediately being considered an irredeemable person!!! #and its still a lot for me actually!!! #every thought i have im like 'no no thats wrong and im bad for thinking it' and idek WHY #anywhore. ive been in a big slump lately and my old paranoias and anxieties are all coming back full force. and its not fun. #my fics are... coming. theyre coming. its just slow. and scary. i can barely write anything without panicking- #-about how i might be harrassed for my terrible misunderstanding of davey jacobs #i love this fandom yall are so creative and intelligent and wonderful but god. it is exhausting here sometimes. #too poor for therapy tag

@goldspina : ❛ are there any traditions you have for the holidays? ❜ winter and christmas prompts // accepting

     Never really remaining in one place, he's been able to observe different festivities  &&  traditions amongst different groups. Gift giving seemed to be central around this time. Sampo has nothing against it, but given his hobbies, he's in the position to take rather than give.

     Although, when particularly fond of someone, he believes he'd be willing to gift things. Whether or not the items he's gifting are stolen or bought is another conversation altogether. But his craftiness with gadgets could potentially extend into handmade gifts. The right person simply hasn't come along yet for him to explore innocent creativity.

          ❝ Not really. I enjoy seeing decorations, colorful lights,  &&  the overall joy that people radiate. It's nice !  I certainly wouldn't mind receiving any gifts. ❞  Potentially repurposing it for nefarious purposes later.  ❝ Seems like a great way to show appreciation, but I know that you don't trust little ol' me. Don't worry, I won't pester you for any freebies. ❞

#hiiiiiiiii uwu !!! also no matter the verse i really do wonder what type of dynamic these two would end up with #that being said i have no idea what verse this is so im making it semi-generalized aksdjhg #if navia is in wildfire i'd assume she hears opinions from everyone on sampo lmao so i kinda hinted at that #goldspina #( ◇ ⁿᵒ ᶜᵃˢʰ┊ ask; ) #( v: tbd; )

I miss it when tumblr was all about reblogs. Everything went downhill when they added the like feature.

I find it funny people seem to be interpreting the poll as "which one *looks* the best". You can choose based on that but I just meant which one is your favorite generally (though I guess the distinction is otherwise minimal for everyone except for me skfjsjfj)

#rambles #polls #if youre wondering my opinions #manga diavolo: this is the one i voted for. i think the jankiness and inconsistency just adds to the charm #i could ramble a lot about manga diavolos appearance and how it changes #anime diavolo: i like what they did generally but the green hair spots just look weird #and i dislike the changes made to his character (namely his backstory) #ASB/EOH diavolo: havent seen much about these games but while i like his model the dialogue ive seen feels OOC #particularly his ''maybe i had no reason to fear you. your stand holds no hint to mine'' line to trish #that was not why he wanted to kill her. he saw her fundamental existence as a threat to him #plus it doesnt sound like he shows up much in EOH story mode idk it sounds like the writers didnt understand him well #PS2 diavolo: iconic obviously #PPP diavolo: i never got a chance to play that game but i love the idea of keeping a chibi diavolo and having him do stuff #LS diavolo: dont know anything about that game but i liked the little promo video i saw once #short posts
