#first of all: rude

[egophiliac]

Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

#art #twisted wonderland #pokemon #poketwst #i'm trying not to pressure myself too much art-wise right now #but i would like to do more of the characters! #(especially considering this started with my insistence that malleus would have a dragapult) #gotta draw something i don't immediately hate first ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ #ANYWAY enough art angst! #i'm not aiming for full teams or delving too deep into lore or anything #just one or two per character that i think fit! #i was pretty torn on leona for a while because pyroar is at once the obvious choice but also. not really? #(i did consider luxray and ultimately decided it doesn't really fit either) #but i kind of love Nasty Lionboy's Nasty Pyroar #i think there's probably some. like. ~royal tradition~ that they all bond with this one specific breeding line or whatever #and leona deliberately chose just the absolute worst one #took one look at this shitty rude pokemon and immediately went 'that one' #falena was like 'are...are you SURE' and leona cops an attitude like 'i'm choosing my OWN pokemon you're not my DAD' #as pyroar is actively attempting to eat him #actually it probably tried to eat kifaji first and that's when leona decided he liked it #me: this is just for funsies i'm not doing lore (writes a whole fanfic in the tags)

#stardew valley #stardew valley shane #sdv shane #HELP #okay hear me gush #I hated this man so much on my first playthrough and literally avoided him at all cost cuz he was so rude -sob- #that was way back in 2020 #and then insert me playing sdv 2023 and #👀 #straight up evaporating #i relate to this man surprisingly and #chef kiss #also im practicing drawing my backgrounds and lighting so this was a good excuse to study coloring! #gonna draw some other stuff when i can just to practice

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

#ml fandom salt #I suppose #and no amount of adding ''stop telling me to not analyze the media'' on my analysis posts stops people from saying it anyway #and yes. the leaks count. stop telling me that the existence of outdated leaks invalidates all analyses of the completed material #and no. just like every other time i've said this. me saying that i don't care about the leaks is not an invitation for you to try to #convince me to care about the leaks #do i tag this spoilers? it feels weird to. i mean this to be a vague overarching thing about media in general #also of course any ''or maybe the writers are just bad'' arguments ALSO are included in this. YOU guys have been my bane since FOREVER #would you guys consider commenting on fanart with ''umm.... drawing seems pretty pointless lmao'' rude? #i know this is not the first time i've made a post like this and i'm sure it won't be the last

#tf2 fanart #tf2 medic #tf2 #team fortress 2 #tf2 sniper #please don't pick up rabbits like this it's good visual shorthand but NOT good practice #my cursive was not legible enough for medics diary so normal handwriting it is #all ruminants can have bezoars but the alchemical ones are goats right. i was thinking about faust and then this comic happened #update: i showed this to my bf and he said its the first 'actual' joke ive ever told. so rude

The system feeling when a voice in your head gives input on something you’re doing and it definitely wasn’t your own internal voice but you have no idea who just said that 😶

#I was making a coffee and it’s cheap coffee so it smells like cheap coffee right? And someone goes ‘ew do we really normally drink this?’ #like?? First of all rude! Secondly we always drink this coffee at work who said that?? Where did u go come back #systemposting #osddid #plural system #plural community #pluralgang #sysblr

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #FJdlsafjdsf Handplates fuzzes my brain #I cannot tell you how weird it feels to draw Gaster with the Lost Soul head after all this time away haha #It drops me back into the person I was when I first read Handplates - for better or for worse. It's a very strange feeling #Even drawing Sans and Papyrus again sends me back! Not as strongly but certain little details stand out #Sans' eyes especially... Very strange feeling #Anyhow! Since Fellplates sent me back down the rabbit hole and I've gotten back into rereading lightly - still not a full commitment! #Maybe soon tho 👀 I feel like I always say that haha #But in the meantime thinking of the pre-Plates Handplates time period <3 Since that's the one I'm still most familiar with haha #I love when they're still growing and learning ♪ Scaffolded baby talk! Twin language! Love 'em ♥ #And fearless* mischievous little troublemakers hehe #They're so cute <3 I love the little ways they interact as young'uns - like when Papyrus will just lift Sans by his arms lol #I'd been thinking about and then had to go read the one of Sans as a the blanket/coat tickle monster and then - this ✨ #''Excuse me sir I'd like One Ticket to the R Rated movie I am an adult Monster'' lol #Probably another one of those moments where Gaster is just *nervously sweats in Dad* lol - stop being so cute! #Also there's no particular meaning to when I use WingDings for his text :P Just convenience and if I remember to lol #Comics where he talks a lot are not convenient XP I have enough trouble editing on this paper ugh I will Not miss it when it's done #Even attempted this comic in as few pencil strokes/erasing as possible and it was still a pain to work with! >:0 Rude #Doubly so that I've had a Handplates comic idea for past like - year lol - and /this/ was the first one I finished pfftbl #To be fair to the other I do want to at least attempt making it a look-alike hehe ♪ You know how it is with Ideas™ #I can't be too mad about it haha ♫ It did turn out quite cute after all :3

what i like especially about the pronouns in the goblin emperor is that this language doesn't just have the T-V distinction (aka informal vs. formal second-person pronouns, in this case 'thou' vs. 'you'), it also has informal and formal first-person pronouns. having BOTH of these distinctions in the same language lets you fine-tune your tone by mixing and matching. with only one axis of formality, when you use informal pronouns, are you being familiar in an intimate way, or in an insolent or dismissive way? when you use formal pronouns, are you being polite or standoffish? you can't tell just from the pronouns; there's ambiguity. but a language where you can use a formal first-person pronoun in the same sentence as an informal second-person pronoun allows you to distance yourself (via the formal first) while also being familiar (via the informal second), thereby achieving the conversational tenor known to linguists as Fuck Thee Specifically.

#just kidding i don't know what linguists call that tenor. or any tenors. i'm not totally positive what a tenor even is #but i can't let that stop me from writing a jokey post on tumblr dot com #register is a very interesting area of linguistics that i know very little about #so i'm probably revealing the depths of my vast ignorance here to all the sociolinguists who surely hang on my every word #but i've always thought of the formal/informal pronoun thing as being about two things: intimacy-distance & rudeness-politeness #and of course you can usually tell from context whether a formal pronoun is meant to indicate distance or politeness #(plus distance and politeness are related to each other (to various degrees depending on culture)) #but it seems like it would be cool to have a built-in alignment chart of sorts just for pronoun combos #instead of prep jock nerd goth...why not try intimate self-effacing polite superior? #the goblin emperor #pronouns #register #sociolinguistics #my posts #f #anyway i know i said i wasn't going to reread the goblin emperor...but guess what. lol #and i edited my tags on that earlier post but fyi the language DOES distinguish between plural and formal singular pronouns #i had said i thought it used the same pronouns for plural and formal but i just wasn't paying close enough attention #so anyway i just reread the part where maia is talking to setheris in formal first and informal second #and you can see setheris going ohhh shit. oh shit oh shit oh shit #i'm in biiiiiig trouble #you sure are dude. that's the Time to Grovel signal #it's interesting because at the very beginning of the book when i first saw the formal first used i just thought it was the royal we #because i knew the main character was supposed to be royalty #but then EVERYONE was doing it. so it's not the royal we it's just the formal we #however. this does make me realize that the way the royal we would function in a language that retains the t-v distinction #is the same way i'm describing here. it's just reserving that particular tone (i'm better than you and am displeased with you) #for royalty only. which makes sense given royalty's whole deal

Who do you guys think was Kateaaron's real biggest hater: Andrew or the Vixens groupchat

#there is NO WAY they approved of him for like. at LEAST the first six months #like I dont know what I would do if my friend (who is a solid 10) said she was dating someone. and when I ask who #she says oh Aaron Minyard. you know the rude cold unnaproachable guy in my biochem class. the one who has no friends. #and also I can't be seen with him in public or his attempted murderer brother is going to beat me up #I could not see a friend going through that in silence. AND HE'S NOT EVEN TALL. KATELYN WHATS THE EXCUSE HERE #katelyn mackenzie #aaron minyard #all for the game #aftg #kateaaron

like i said, truly fascinating people on this app!

#oh this takes me back this feels like some good old 2014 tumblr drama #first of all don't be publicly disrespectful if you don't wanna be called out for being publicly disrespectful! crazy concept! #second of all i made a point to mention that no one should look you up and be rude to you. if anyone did i don't agree with their actions- #but i don't control them. once again you shouldn't have been publicly rude if you didn't want people to see you being rude! #third of all......you're pulling the minority card.......buddy you think i'm a cishet white man cause i'm not.....anyway #actually you came onto my (a minority's) blog and was rude to me (a minority) and then sent 30 asks to me (a minority) 🥺🥺🥺 /s #me.txt #delete later

[otrtbs]

the way some of y'all talk about certain fanfics because you think their "popularity" gives you free rein to say whatever you want about them is so strange to me

#like... there is still a person behind that fanfic.... #and just because you think they're unreachable/untouchable/whatever doesn't mean that they are #also why would you want to be so publicly negative or rude in the first place anyway ?? regardless of who can/will see it?? #and most times it's not even just flat out hate or whatever but it's something that you would NEVER say to the ff author in their dms #or to their face #or whatever #alright. that's all.

The more the time passes, the more convinced I am that a reading of Jane Eyre that omits the theme of mercy as key to the story is incomplete at best and bad at worst.

#jane eyre #i think this is at the root of all the insidious and useless darcy vs rochester comparisons #because ultimately the wrong Austen heroes do is forgivable #the effects of their sins are more or less easily reversable #such as Darcy's pride and rudeness or Wentworth's pettiness #there is mercy being served with atonement #but it isn't a radical mercy #which I think is the point in Jane Eyre #Rochester's attempted bigamy is beyond justification #it can only be understood as sourced in stupidity and immaturity rather than in true wickedness #it can also be understood as part of the way he was raised up and the sins of his own father #but cannot be justified #Rochester can only be either hated and shunned or loved and forgiven #there's no possibility of indifference #the characters that create the most unhappiness to themselves and others in this novel are those who live without mercy #and those who act with mercy the opposite #Rochester's redemption is possible because he has shown mercy to others #at least sometimes like Adele and his first years with Bertha #st John can have everything in his favor and yet his mercilessness makes him a figure of fear for Jane #Jane's deliberate choice to show mercy again and again IS essential to the story #Jane Eyre is a bildungsroman AND a romance because of it #readings that seek to turn Rochester into a complete forever villain #i.e. he is a liar and he actually tortured Bertha into madness #are ultimately readings that want a reason to reject any sort of mercy for him #by making him incapable of good and repentance

Don't make fun of any accents, ever, for any reason.

The person on the receiving end will most likely fall in at least one of three categories:

Second language

Regional accent

Speech impediment

1. Second language

This person is probably speaking in this language to you because either you don't speak their mother tongue or you speak it worse than they speak the language you are speaking. They are making an effort for you. An accent doesn't make you dumb.

Making fun of someone for attempting to communicate in another language is the height of assholery.

2. Regional accent

Half the time you make fun of regional accents, you make fun of historically disenfranchised accents.

Southern accents? Congrats you're making fun of the way rural, usually poor, people speak. Their speech was highly influenced by black people.

Don't even get me started on making fun of AAE.

Again, an accent doesn't make you any less intelligent.

3. Speech impediment

They know they have a speech impediment. They are probably trying very hard not to sound like that. It is literally not their fault. They have had to deal with people making fun of it their whole life.

A speech impediment doesn't make you less intelligent either.

#submission #manners #good manners #etiquette #politeness #courtesy #nationalism and xenophobia plays a pretty big role in the first one too #In the country I live in a lot of the nationalism and xenophobia specifically centers around language #For foreigners it's a lose / lose situation #If they speak the local language then locals will be rude to them for having an accent #But if they don't use the local language (since most locals born here are actually pretty multi-lingual) they get yelled at #and generally treated like garbage #@ nationalistic people in the country I live in: please choose #Either be patient and kind to people with an accent #or be willing to use English or Spanish or other languages #you can't just yell at foreigners who speak to you at all either with an accent or in a different language #and get mad that they just don't appear here with perfect native speaking abilities

Hi! I'm here for the requestober. Could you draw Handplates!Gaster and Scriabin interacting? Not in any specific way, whatever you think is fine ❤️

Day 9 - Also stop following me

#My art #Requestober #Handplates #UT #Gaster #Vargas #Scriabin #He's reformed - kind of - leave him alone! #They've interacted in small ways before - Gaster stealing Scriabin's wings and the little families meeting up hehe #Skelebros saying hi to Squee <3 #But I wonder what Gaster would make of Scriabin! If he could tell that he's not human and if that would matter to him #If anyone could relate to being a humanoid monster it'd be Gaster wouldn't it? Although he'd probably resent the comparison lol #''I'm nothing like- like /that/!'' ''First of all rude I have a name'' lol #What would win out! Scriabin's not-humanness or how much he appears like a human? #It probably wouldn't matter either way - if they could meet in realspace then Scriabin would be in a human body #He's still not human but at that point it's more semantics than anything haha #And if Gaster somehow ended up in mindspace with him (???) then he'd kinda just have to roll with Scriabin's non-human abilities haha #Which would be fun admittedly! #As for Scriabin he just wants toys lol #Scientists are known to have a lot of fun torture equipment - Gaster especially #Sure he could do it himself but why not network lol #How can he tell what he's saying? Ehh it's more of a feeling lol - he's not exactly projecting a receptive vibe #They're funny to draw next to each other! They're both so darkmode haha ♪ #And they're both stick figures but Gaster is that by definition - Scriabin has meat on his bones! #I'm also pretty sure I haven't drawn Gaster post-getting out of the Void before now? :0 Maybe once as a doodle but I don't remember #It's a good look for him <3 Tragic context but very pretty #Then again that's just kind of a theme for most of Zarla's stories huh haha ♫

[aro-culture-is]

Aro-culture is trying to understand why society created the most ridiculous rituals and signs for romance and not finding a single answer/or that makes sense.

(No seriously, all the explanations I find are dumb. Send help)

.

#aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod axel #honestly all i got for u is that romance is a socially described category of emotion #and social categories are notoriously full of all sorts of cultural biases and assumptions and history that got lost to common knowledge #not to mention the human tendencies to create lil rituals that sometimes become big (ie knock on wood / slug bug) #so u end up with like. 'yeah u gotta not directly tell ppl that ur in romo with them immediately because...' #culturally it signals like. moving too fast or it's seen as embarrassing or you gotta do xyz things first #my sister advised me as a teen that in her experience and opinion - delivered like the words of a sage - if someone is bad at kissing #then they are bad at sex #(me [a kissing repulsed aro person who enjoys sex]: uhhh) #and honestly like. especially when viewed from the outside those things are fuckin wild #like... my mom came from a tiny backwoods type of place in [redacted] #and when i moved to [redacted] and one of the biggest cities in my state (though tbh not that big actually lol) #it caused all sorts of fun. she thinks it's exceptionally rude that not every single person on the street smiles and says hi #if there's not a crowd #she also gets really upset that service workers are less likely to make small talk #and both of those come from City Etiquette being more about like... not taking up ppl's time and attention and that being respectful #like smiling and saying hi to every stranger on the street is... honestly gonna be seen as a Huge Danger thing #and service workers do not have the *time* at most locations to chat with you - especially if it's busy - and it's seen as disrespectful to #both the workers and the people in line behind you to insist on it #but from her POV with Country Etiquette #this is equivalent to like. getting slapped in the face and told that you are specifically mad at her #and she gets legit anxious about it in a very 'this means i fucked up' way
