#fixed standard

[langernameohnebedeutung]

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

#you have to consider the fact that she has no reason to doubt or question the Creche as the easy fix for her problems. #Go there. Get Purified. Done. #and she even wants to make sure that this lot gets treated too. Honestly she is so good to them by Gith standards it's insane #baldur's gate 3 #lae'zel

Classic misunderstandings

Childish behavior is only for children

Someone must have a plan

By "soon" everyone means the same

Freedom and democracy are guaranteed

Believing a woman claiming that "nothing is wrong"

Hearing and listening are basically identical

There will be salvation

There is a fixed standard for tidiness

"No" can mean something else than "No"

Going naked to a gender reveal party.

Every day I’m haunted by the fact the boys happily swim in sewer water

Even if it’s filtered somehow there’s no way it’s not still nasty 😭 Bet they can defeat any of their villains just by accidentally giving them diseases I swear

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #bless their hearts but they’re nasty #it’s funny because like #each and every one of them has moments #where they’re a typical disgusting teenage boy #and then the next they have STANDARDS #can’t blame Leo for being so determined to go to a spa #even if he nearly licked his own foot that’s prob cleaner than anything else the boys have been up to in years 💀 #thank you shelldon for all your hard work cleaning after then 🙏 #they’re all gross teenage boys!!! #even Donnie he is NO exception here #bro was DRINKING A BEVERAGE while wading through sewer water he is just as gross as his bros #bro also talks with his mouth full he is no more refined than his equally gross bros fr and I love it #but yeah no way that water isn’t disgusting even filtering it would still leave grime on the walls of the sewer for yearsss #pros of them moving into an abandoned subway system is fixing their sense of smell enough to not be as gross #100% that’s part of why they didn’t mind being so filthy pre shelldon #because I mean they were literally raised in the sewers and they’re teenage boys like that’s a double whammy #THEY ALSO DONT WEAR SHOES #the few times any of them do the shoes are discarded before heading home 💀 #I love them tho they are endearing anyhow #April’s immune system must be godlike just being around them fr #honestly no joke Mikey’s probably the cleanest of them all #just by virtue of being a chef #Leo I see as a mixture since he no doubt loves to pamper himself so he’s clean like #a percentage of time before he goes out and ruins his own hard work #Donnie is similar in that he’s just VERY SELECTIVE about what he thinks is too gross #Raph may be more on the stinky end but it’s not his fault he has his stinks and eats things of dubious origin(esp since his bros ate poison) #Donnie and Leo really have the gall to be sick about Raph eating the origami salami but they have no room to talk #all their villains are prob like please stay away from us we have salmonella now

Ten? TEN?! Larian, please. You can't let everyone and their mom go on about how beefy and strong Halsin is when he's got a measly 10 in strength. I understand if the men are impressed, but every single one of the ladies are stronger than him!

Over at Patreon and society6 we appreciate the strong women though. Respectfully.

#champions and heroes #Baldur's Gate #Baldur's Gate 3 #Tav #Astarion #Gale of Waterdeep #Wyll Ravengard #Shadowheart #Lae'zel #Halsin #paladin Tav is extra offended #he's got a strength score of 18 #and yet no one is ooohing and aaahing over his muscles #outrageous #I respec several of the party members when I get them #not to change their classes (well Shadowheart is a life cleric shush her job is healing so she should do it well) #but just to fix their stats because the standard is just... bad #and not reflective of their characters either

you all can barely handle one person that doesn't meet even a single beauty standard I think if u saw a normal human being with normal wrinkles, normal fatness, and who wasn't immaculately waxed and sprayed to fuck you'd explode on the street

#what they really mean is more skinny perfectly manicured ppl perfectly performing beauty standards but with a sparkly purple eyeshadow #fixed it

Somedays the artblock wins. Somedays inspiration smashes you like a cadillac on a random dashboard recommend. @transformers-synergize your redesigns are so pretty ;^;

#Transformers Fan Continuity #Transformers Synergize #Moonracer #Augh ;0; her design is so pretty and so clever too! #Moonracer is one of my faves she looks SO good #Like a lil templar so I gave her a standard to bear cuz I needed something to balance the legs of the original pose #And then I died on perspective and ended up simplifying it back down -sobs- #I hope the interpretation is to your liking ;^; I don't think I captured the likeness in her face but if I kept fixing it I'd never post #The legs and the 'coat' and the segmentation of her chest and the tire placement and her antenna I'm ;0; I love love love the redesign #Also you have such a fantastic grasp on color theory. The analogous colors with complimentary details and the general shift towards #Orange/Green is so pretty! Such rich soothing colors #I'm sorry some of the shapes are off btw I misread her shoulders entirely and didn't realize until my motivation died again

i need ppl to be so fr w me right now is it possible to date a man without ever feeling unsafe/frustrated bc of the biases they have been socialised to have against women, etc etc. like is it possible to date a man who is Good and u never once think of the fact that there is a rift between u two bc they're a guy

#man it seems exhausting everything i see is negative . but surely girls who date men do it for a reason right #like ik negativity bias is likely affecting my view etc etc so ... i wanna fix that #also ever since i realised i was bi this has become more real for me . like what if i do want to date a man. is it possible #or will my standards be raised too high from only dating girls and nb ppl my whole life #but like surely that is a bit of an unreasonable thing to think like surely there are a few men who r just as nice to be w maybe #idk #just thinking. wondering etc

i hate cinemasins so much you would not believe

#it's an easy formula. i get it. #ha ha plot hole! it must be bad because plot hole! #[plot hole is intentional and explained 10 minutes later] #[plot hole contributes to themes of film] #[plot hole is not actually plot hole if you employ even the most rudimentary of reading between the lines] #[plot hole is thing unimportant to the scene as a whole] #it lets you feel smart without actually having to put the legwork in #'smart' isn't even the right word. 'mildly observant'. #but because of this fucking loser and his stupid little ding sound effect #films have to be spelled out for people or they'll go 'OOOOGH PLOTHOEL????' #'WHY THEY SHOOT THE DOG AT START OF DAS DING? PLOTHOLE DING' #'WHY NO CONCRETE ANSWER FOR QUESTION PROPOSED BY TEXT? DINGGGG' #[THINK!!!!! THINK DAMN YOU!!!!!!! THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!] #if your critique could be easily slotted into a cinemasins video go back and think about WHY #is it a question answered by the text??? #and im more frustrated it took THIS LONG to repair my brain scorching! #even with kokichi's critique video im not happy with it because i did go back and look at him closer #i still don't fucking like him or think he was very well executed but i understand exactly why he was executed the way he was #and so many fanfics who took my critique on board and are like 'i can fix this!' just cinemasins the shit out of him #he needs Standard Character Arc and he must be A Hero #NO!! #you missed even the point i was making back then!!! #it was that his redemption was completely arbitrary! and though it didn't do it well it was intended to poke fun at EXACTLY THAT! #the The Villain Needs Redemption because that shit was all the fucking rage and people were doing it shit! #and it all goes back to this jackass and his stupid monotone voice and his attempts to enable a generation of media illiteracy! #and it WORKED! our ability to analyse narrative got fucking sacrificed on the altar for His Paycheck #and he's a shitbag who makes fun of women with breast cancer #long post

I agree with a lot of what's been said about the pacing (namely that this already great season could have been even better with an extra beat between eps 5 & 6, and likely another between 7 & 8) but I just want to take a second to remember what a fucking accomplishment this season is.

Like, just off the top of my head: they managed to expand the world-building of the show's pirate universe, add compelling new characters, deepen the central relationship in a genuinely complex and nuanced way with rich character arcs for both, at least suggest at greater complexity and emotional development for many of the background characters, and produce more expansive and technically challenging visuals including some very impressive action and crowd sequences. And they did all that with two fewer episodes, while still maintaining the original tone of the show and keeping run times under 30 minutes apiece.

It's not perfect, and they're not equally successful on all fronts, but it is extremely fucking good, and the fact that it gets anywhere close within those limitations is frankly an astounding artistic achievement

#ofmd #our flag means death #that said I am genuinely frustrated by how easy it would be to fix 99% of the remaining issues if they'd just been given a 10 ep season #but maybe I'll feel differently after the finale and I can view the thing as a whole #i believe 8 eps is standard for most of max’s original comedies #some day there needs to be a reckoning about why every streaming platform has some arbitrary episode order number they force on every show #not all stories require the same things!! #ofmd season 2

fanartist gives button nose to character that canonically has a large/broad/hooked nose. thousands dead, millions injured.

I recently learned of Private Wojtek, a brown bear owned by the polish army during ww2, who entertained civillians and soldiers alike, and (supposedly) helped carry crates of ammunition during warfare. Some of the stuff I've read about the way he was kept sounds almost too good to be true, while other parts sound downright unhealthy (i.e. feeding him cigarettes). I wanted to hear if you think he was handled in accordance with proper animal husbandry

I mean. He rode in artillery trucks and was given cigarettes and beer. So I'm gonna go with probably not, lol.

One one hand, it's nice that the troops weren't willing to abandon the animal they'd purchased and hand-raised when they were deployed, and enlisting him to get rations for him is a pretty funny idea. But also like... yeah, don't take bears into war zones. (Article about him here) He did eventually retire to the Edinburgh Zoo.

Here's some various photos of him from around the internet: they're pretty incredible, even without modern sensibilities of animal welfare coming into play.

The unit he was with even got a special emblem made for them in honor of Wojtek: a bear carrying an artillery shell.

#there's no way this was appropriate by modern husbandry standards #but it's a fascinating story #bear #wojtek #private Wojtek #spelling fixed

I can’t remember what canon is like (and there’s so many different versions of canon anyways) but there’s a lot of Spiderman fics where he’s talking to someone he knows as both Peter Parker and Spiderman but they don’t know his secret and there’ll be this lil convo where they’re like “oh did you talk to [his other identity] about that?”

And a good majority of the time he’ll say yes instead of pretending like the two identities just never interact

And I just really really want to know how people think those convos go, like do they think they’re friendly to each other? do they think Peter harasses Spiderman like the paparazzi harass stars? do they think Peter’s just trying to get a couple of pics and Spidey traps him to have someone to tell all his jokes to?

How do people imagine those conversations going???
