I always joke about this but Buggy and Luffy's rivalry bothers me so much because I just know Luffy would take Buggy's side if he knew about the Shuggy breakup

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.
It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.
By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.
Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

It's rant time
I swear every time a person says "Alina was a little girl/teenager" and "the Darkling was a weirdo for wanting her" my peace is replaced by an immense annoyance.
So just because the Darkling is immortal he's not....allowed to have a relationship?? So what, he must remain single and alone forever otherwise he's gonna break your white moral code? Do all immortal creatures must remain single and not have a partner?
Since when was Alina a "little girl"? She was seventeen, a certified adult by the Grishaverse standards since people are considered adults by the age of sixteen. So where did the "teenager" term came from?
And bold of you to assume that the word "teenager" even exists in this universe. In the Grishaverse you're a child and then you straight up become an adult at the age of sixteen. There are no teenage years for them.
And these passages from "King of Scars" prove it:
"She's barely sixteen" - which probably means that sixteen is also the age where girls begin to get married. In this case, Elke Marie will get married even sooner and no one bats an eye (everyone except Nikolai who tries to find an excuse to not get married).
And let's not forget the fact that Alina was immortal while she still had her powers. So if she had never lost them, sooner or later she would inevitably end up with Aleksander. The only other creature who could be with her.
Literally no Grishaverse character was disturbed or raised eyebrows for Alina's age. They all chastised her for wanting the "bad guy". Because it was the choice that made them revolt not the age, since she was an adult by then. They expected much from her (to rule, to lead, to fight) because quite simply she wasn't a child.
This babyfication of female characters in every piece of media has become a trend and I don't like it. You people will never accept other fictional universes' rules and you will never allow female characters to have depth and complexity. Alina had a sexual desire for the Darkling, she had feelings for him, she wanted power and she had her own darkness inside her but you will never get her out of the "she was just a little girl" description. You make her even worse than how she was written.
And it's evident how you have no problem with Nikolai proposing to Alina and even suggesting that he wanted children with her but everyone raged when the Darkling showed interest and sexual desire for her.

Chapters: 1/3
Series: Part 2 of FNAF Fish Tales
Summary:
When you first stepped into the plain back room for your orientation, deep down you had accepted the likelihood of spending the next several years working towards your goal of being a mer trainer. Cucumber Larry and all the other inhabitants of the touch tanks would rely on you to protect them from overzealous visitors of all ages during the day, and your nights would be spent researching and plugging away at online classes to further your marine education.
It took all you self control not to slump bonelessly when Vanessa asked for you to join the team, officially, of mer trainers.

writing chat noir dialogue is actually hard to me because sometimes he's pissing ladybug off with the 500th cat pun but everything he does is emotionally honest but also hes not ever. he will shrug off any amount of concern. everything he says CAN be taken as a joke but also hes not joking hes 100 percent that in love with her. hes making heartfelt speeches to ladybug when she's having her 500th breakdown this season etc. theres a perfect ratio to how much ladybug is watching him be a disaster and vice versa where he watches HER be a disaster.

i know ted and trent's last scene in 3x07 is very obviously about football/the club but then again i can't help but think of the line 'sport, that's quite the metaphor'. because if it IS all a metaphor then what am i supposed to make of the triangles (or rather, biangles) in total football, a thousand interceptible moments and an inevitable conclusion??
