which is the most underrated couple from Horizon and why is aloy x alva?

Look. LOOK. I love them okay. I know it's all been "Aloy sees an equal in Seyka" but she absolutely saw that in Alva first. Alva is really the first person Aloy has met who is on her level as a scientist: She not only wants to learn new things, she then updates beliefs to include what she learns (rather than cling to what traditions she has been brought up with like most people Aloy meets). She wants to keep learning even when it scares her.

She clearly adores Alva and their interaction in this scene in particular shows that. I also love that the interaction in this scene was used again with Seyka with the same intonation:

#i feel the need to add that this is not a ship I expect to sail or even hope will sail #i know a lot of people think that shipping is a competition and if you ship something you MUST want it to be canon #no no #i expect nothing here #the concept of them just brings me joy #also alva is just adorable #critter rambles #reply

if you thought the twst guys had the common curtsey to not exploit mc's anxiety...

you're gravely mistaken.

#nah they're GLAD #fuckingn shit stains #especially if they're interested in you??? #doesn't have to worry about competition because you don't talk to anyone?? #doesn't have to worry about you cheating because you're either with him or at him #once you get past the anxiety its kinda smooth sailing #and all he has to do is hold your hand and give you a few compliments and all is golden! #(they're underestimating that last part)

Big thanks to whoever decided to do another poll about these two shows that absolutely left this site in shambles last time. I really needed this laugh first thing on a Monday.

#oh man this is gonna be good #I'll be shocked and horrified if Sarah Z does not make a video about this #fandom historian where are you when we need you?! #anyway vote Black Sails #there's no competition tbh

just read that Empire article with wesley and am both surprised and pleased he seems genuinely thoughtful and on-point with where TOS kirk would be on his character journey during the snw timeline

#paul wesley #genuinely surprised and pleased #good job stefan #strange new worlds #he's right on the money when he says 'stack of books on legs' kirk is the most important Moment rn #he doesnt know what kind of leader he wants to be yet or is capable of being #and he has extensive training and studying and a genocide survivor #but hes not there Yet #he's more pedantic and intellectual and hasnt yet reclaimed that joy and understanding that leading is good spirits is as important as #leading in safety security and poise #hes whip smart and so clever but kind #hes not TOS jim yet and still has to find it in himself to shake off the starfleet militarism whether by his other commissions or his past #or the expectations or competition with sam #or the worry over his personal life #in favor of the wonder he feels in the universe #which heals him from the wounds and need for control #among likeminded nerds #who just want to explore strange new worlds and have a ship and stars to sail her by

I know, evil Google, all my data is theirs, but on my Pixel, when somebody calls, the phone sometimes already marks some numbers as potential scams. It also gives you the option to screen the call.

Which means the Google Assistant picks up the call for me and I can watch a live chat transcript of my phone asking the caller to state their name and business and I can read what the caller's reply is live.

After which I can pick up, hang up, or mark them as a scam caller, without needing to speak to them.

Never had an iphone, so I don't know if Siri does this for you too, but it's definitely the first android phone I have with this feature.

Google, you make my life so convenient, I wish you were less evil...

#just me things #yes I have Pixel and Chromebook google has all my data #that ship sailed #still installed firefox on the phone #the beauty of android that they cannot prevent you from using the apps of the competition

black sails has THE highest number of “best monologue you’ve ever heard in your life” per capita of any show I have ever seen

but even in a show that’s banger quote after banger quote, delivering life-changing, core-shattering dialogue multiple times every single episode 

NOTHING in black sails will ever make me go as feral as “a story is true, a story is untrue” 

just. yknow. how am I supposed to be normal about this???? 

A story is true. A story is untrue. As time extends, it matters less and less. The stories we want to believe, those are the ones that survive, despite upheaval and transition and progress. Those are the stories that shape history. And then what does it matter if it was true when it was born? It's found truth in its maturity, which if a virtue in man ought to be no less so for the things men create.

#black sails #the competition is SO stiff #there are like 5 other monologues that are close contenders IN THAT EPISODE ALONE #(looking at you 'they paint the world full of shadows and then tell their children to stay close to the light') #but I am a SUCKER for a metanarrative #and by golly does black sails transcend #black sails finale really said 'there is no such thing as objective truth' #'not only does truth not exist but it is inconsequential in comparison to how stories are told and shaped which is the only truth' #BLACK SAILS REALLY DID THAT AND SAID THAT #but THEN to say all that and END ON THE WORDS '[ART] MUST BE TRUE' #how am I supposed to be normal about this!!!!!

That foredeck life

#i reblog a certain amount of competitive sailing content #the ocean race #etc #and sailboat racing as spectator sport is fun and interesting #but it can feel kind of distant #and if you haven't actually done it #it can look #i dunno #kind of ... #intellectual? #theoretical? #i'm sure there's a word i'm not coming up with #anyway #i love this video #b/c this is exactly what it's like to actually do it #it's not intellectual #or theoretical #you're _in_ it #and it's very real

Yup - He added: "I think (Sail)GP is quite influenced by F1 and the experience around F1 and they want their sponsors to be able to experience that kind of thing."

Bye-bye Auckland for 2024.

Very disappointing, but according to the NZ Herald, the event in March could still be hosted elsewhere.

I literally cannot get the sims 4 to work offline again half the time. Also I was scrolling through EA support and apparently EA considers it to be "account sharing" if you have it on multiple computers in the same fucking home

#my posts #sims 4 #ea #their greed is insane #steam straight up has a family account management #so you don't have to buy multiple copies to share with your kids or siblings #so anyway how about them flag sails? I mean sales- #fuck I can't wait for parallives to come out #give them some actual competition

[letsboldlygomotherfuckers]

my two oldest friend and I are so weird and I’ll never be over it. you have me, a non-binary bisexual girl who dresses in an ungodly amalgam of cowboy and egirl, a drag queen horror enthusiast who chronically has relationship drama and our token straight who knows jujitsu and can operate every vehicle. the fact that we’ve been friends for 8 years and not drifted apart despite being WILDLY different astounds me

#magpie chirps #I’m not joking about the every vehicle thing #he sails competitively #used to teach dirt biking #drives motor boats for work #and has his pilots motorcycle and car liscences #bitch isn’t even a legal adult #we all just click in weird ways and it’s wonderful #token straight and I sail together and he teaches me to fight sometimes #and we do air soft as a group #and they both adapted really well to my disability even though it’s changed a lot of what we can do together and emerged #late into our friendship #drag queen and I make art and nerd out together #we’re both theater geeks #I’m head of set crew he’s the leading roles #and the other two are practically brothers despite being so wildly different #it’s so beautiful to me #i love friendships #they’re the only two people allowed to use my dead name #because with them #it feels safe #the name has a vastly different weight with them #it’s not all these expectations I’ll never fulfill #it’s just their nerdy weird best friend #who cares too much and never shuts up #who would die for them #and yeah #i love it
