#grasping at straws there

[dearedwardteach]

I open tumblr just to see your tags 🙏 it’s a highlight of my day

armys don't scare me. i've been on the internet for fifteen years and i used to be a directioner, jungkook fans wish they were as insane as me 👍🏽

#ksjhfjksjhdjksjd ily too #i finally listened to golden btw #(cant believe i wasted 30 minutes of my time on this when i could have been listening to indigo instead but ANYWAYS) #my take is: still not sure how 3d is supposed to be about heterosexual sex and the term champagne confetti still has me rolling on the floo #i guess i kinda like closer to you? but i like major lazer's stuff usually and it's clearly not my fav sound he's ever put out so yk #grasping at straws there #his falsetto in seven is good but that's about it with this song #overall jk's voice when it's not completely overlaid with autotune is nice he's doing what he does best #but his voice is not enough to save the overall mediocrity of the songs #(also bc i guess his voice is the one i like less in the band so ofc it won't hook me like jin's or tae's singing voices might) #(but that's very personal in no way i'm saying he's a bad singer) #standing next to you sounds like a rip off from a michael jackson song so it's not that it's bad necessarily #just that it's... not... original. at all? i mean the song is very representative of the whole album in that way. #it's not that i dislike it necessarily just that it sounds like a cover album more than anything #the only thing i truly hate about golden is that i don't listen to bts to listen to mediocre white men's music and that's all that album is #yes or no is a skip boring as fuck #please don't change is. lyrically and musically underwhelming but i do like his voice? id say it's a white people festival song which. yeah #hate you. white man christmas movie song. skip. #somebody is ewwwww i do not like his voice in it at all and the rest is uninteresting so yk SKIP #too sad to dance. unoriginal literally have nothing to say about it. white man song. skip #shot glass full of tears. once again it's not that it's bad per se. id even say i like it. its just that it sounds like somebody else's son #this is so frustrating!!!! gaaaaaaaah!!! everything about this is frustrating! #id say im disappointed but it's what i expected since seven came out so im not. #overall boring and disappointing i beg u poc artists dont let white men make music for u thanks for coming to my ted talk #raplinenthusiasts #ask #answered #it's not even that golden is horrendous it's just... mediocre. idk what's worse tbh #anyways not tagging all that i might be insane but im not gonna consciously invite the crazy armys in #thank god for rapline huh

The Justice League finds out about the Anti-Ecto Acts, and Batman is the driving force behind condemning them. He even goes so far as to summon popular ghost hero Phantom for advice, given that his son, Red Hood, would absolutely fall under those Acts. Phantom...tells him he's wrong.

Red Hood is 100%, completely and totally alive. Same soul, same body, sort of the same person. Only 'sort of' because people change as they grow, so obviously he isn't going to be the same person he was when he was fifteen.

There's not a trace of ecto in him, or in any of the Bats. None of them are even liminal.

Batman asks if he's sure. If he's really, really sure. Because ghosts run on emotions, and Red Hood came back extremely violent and irrational.

"Well yeah, of course he did," Phantom deadpans, and Batman suddenly feels very, very small under that glare. "He was murdered, unavenged, told that there was no way he was the same person when he came back pissed, and had his words as a victim ignored. I'd get violent too. Look, I gotta go, but thanks for getting the Acts removed."

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #you know all those fics about the batfam being liminal #and that's why they're weird or spooky #and that's why jason beat the snot out of tim #yeah so like #what if they weren't #at all #mostly i just wanted bruce to have to face that #yo #this is still jason #he's angry and grown up but it's still jason #and you're stuck in the past grasping at straws #refusing to acknowledge the very alive man in front of you #while you grieve a child you ran off in the first place

I click off immediately

#it's an immediate ick for me #like if you can't stick to the canon pronouns of a character I'm not gonna listen to your theory #it's such a surface level thing and it's actually important to the story that their gender isn't up to interpretation #if you can't grasp that then your theory is probably grasping at straws too #deltarune #kris deltarune #kris dreemurr

[astrophilip]

it's actually crazy how they came back from a 5-year hiatus to post almost every single day for 2 months and then leave us in the lurch until new year's like did they actually think we would survive this????? we are sickly victorian children you can't give us a phat loaf of bread then tell us we have to wait 15 days for another slice

So are we not gonna talk about how for even the first few seconds we see of DCA/Eclipse, they're aggressive, ripping open the doors and moving swiftly

But the second the light shines on them (or at least appears on their face)-

They soften. They immediately become friendly and seem to beckon you/Cassie in. A new friend.

Maybe the easter baking video is delayed because dan is going frame by frame to make sure he didn’t show hole

Okay, my turn to go full tin foil hat on Tech living though that fall. So.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s seeing this:

“You have to admire ‘em. They find a way to survive.” I know the ice vulture is Crosshair’s thing, but its silhouette also looks like the marauder, and when I think of the marauder, I think of Tech. I think there’s more to tease out here with Tech and Crosshair parallels, but THEY. THEY find a way to survive.

Anyway, I’ll be getting a fitting for a clown wig if y’all need me.

EDIT: I shouldn't have to say this, but I do: be nice when you reblog, please. This poll is supposed to be fun.

#honestly at this point i would say fanon #after the last comic dropped? yeah no. #it feels like DC writers are grasping at straws #they have absolutely no idea how to even write Damian or Tim #batman #dick grayson #batman and robin #bruce wayne #nightwing #jason todd #damian wayne #tim drake #red robin #barbara gordon #batgirl #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #duke thomas

PATHETIC SHOWDOWN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

made a pathetic poll before, vox absolutely SWEPT against lucifer last time, pondered on it and thought hey out of all the people who could possibly evenly match up to vox in patheticness, ADAM might have a chance. SO

POINTS (feel free to come up with your own I am grasping at straws here):

Adam

FOR

got cucked by lucifer TWICE

what's more pathetic than getting left by your wife? getting left by BOTH your wives

an actual dudebro

dumb as bricks

just look at him

"HES UGLY" "PUT THE MASK BACK ON"

actually fucking dies

and not even by lucifer by fucking niffty

AGAINST

is actually a really powerful angel who could destroy alastor's shield with one punch and almost killed alastor

mentions that he does in fact fuck in episode 1

could possibly be argued to still have bitches with lute

Vox

some of these may just be copy and pasted from the last one. against will have new points to juxtapose adam though

if you've been around my space long enough you know these well

FOR

lost his own diss track against his rival

sings an entire number about not giving a fuck about his rival's return while being the only person TO give a fuck

tried to physically block a radio, an AUDIO output device as if it'd stop anything, failed at doing even that

his screen calls out the reason for his crashes and he seemingly can't control it

causes a city-wide blackout because his rival announced to everyone he rejected him

there is a non-zero possibility he was/is in love with said rival but said rival will never love him back

purposely avoided going to an overlords meeting and called his co-worker up at the very last minute to attend for him

the guy he appointed as a spy ended up being the very person to prove a sinner can be redeemed

coward who constantly hides behind screens

episode 8

AGAINST

he is capable in literally any context outside of alastor

debuts actually acting cunning

capable of coming up with something on the spot without hesitation (voxtek angelic security)

actually smart (able to interpret val's "put something inside them" comment as appointing a spy)

feared by his employees

well he didn't get left by anyone in an EXISTING relationship... he just got rejected in one that never started

he has bitches (yeah it's valentino but bitches are bitches okay!!)

is in fact not dead

Uh oh.

Kalina couldn’t say her conspirator’s name.

But in her last moments she did say

Ragh Barkrock.

#i hope it’s not lydia… #maybe somebody else connected with ragh? #i don’t wanna go full conspiracy on porter but he was ragh’s teacher so maybe? #this is me grasping for straws cause i like lydia #dimension 20 #fhjy spoilers #d20 fhjy #fhjy #dimension 20 spoilers #d20 spoilers #fantasy high

I can't believe only now am i just realizing that biased flashbacks vs real unbiased flashbacks in monkie kid are animated differently

Any biased flashback is all told with still frames, stylized art, or only the main people in the memory moving while everyone else is still in the background

Think Shadowplay, think Azure Lions narration using the scrolls, think LBD's forced flashes of the future and past to Monkey King and Macaque, think DBK's story of the Samadhi fire.

All of those are either stylized, still frames, frozen figures, or sometimes all three.

Whereas the unbiased, real flashbacks are fully animated in the usual style. The opening of New Adventures (s4 ep2,) the beginning of The Samadhi Fire episode in season 3... they're animated like usual episodes. Everyone is always moving, things are always happening, expressions are changing, all that kinda stuff.

I KNOW THIS IS OBVIOUS I DIDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION UNTIL NOW JUST LET ME HAVE THIS

#knox rambles #Monkie Kid #LEGO Monkie Kid #Monkie kid Theories #y'know i don't even know if this is true or not i'm just grasping at straws to help me identify what to believe and what not to and i have #decided anything that is not fully animated i will simply take as a chracters opinion and not fact #LET ME HAVE THIISSSSSS

I think there is a lot of power in Ariadne's tale, actually, and I feel like that reflects on who she is as well. She went through a fucking awful situation, left behind by the love of her life - IN HER SLEEP, BY THE WAY - to die alone on the island of Naxos with no way to leave. Dionysus found her and offered her a new life, and not only is that a beautiful display of love, but it's also a beautiful display of Ariadne's personal strength. She pushed through the struggles of her past and learned to trust and love and live again. She must've had to build from the bottom up, healing from the pain of the past, and she fucking did it! She did it and succeeded and lived happily with her god husband who literally made her a crown of stars, and that's fucking awesome, and I just think that's a really beautiful and highly underrated part of Ariadne's story: her journey of healing that she took after being left by Theseus.

#i wonder if you all are going to think I'm insane and grasping at straws lmao #it's my personal interpretation #it's why i like to personallt associate Ariadne with tigers #because you know shes a badass with lots of inner strength #and she inspires me because goddamn it if she can find happiness after trauma #so fucking too can i #ariadne deity #ariadne #helpol #hellenic polytheism #hellenic pagan #greek mythology

dan and phil and the queer joy that is radiating from this new era on the gaming channel is my roman empire. the older i get the more i realize how important it is to see older queer people that are happy

#dan and phil #dan and phil games #it’s so nice #i’m like an ‘old gay’ now #(comparatively lil 13 year old me did not expect to live this long) #i didn’t know any old gays then #it was just me and gaggle of other mentally ill gay children #who were grasping at straws for representation #clinging to ruby rose and laverne cox like our lives depended on it #it just makes my inner child happy #maybe i’m assigning meaning where it doesn’t belong #but it means something to me #dan howell #phil lester #queer joy

scar calling magic mountain "magical mountain". something something even though he and joel agreed that it has no connection to any past mountains, the thought still lingers-

Hmmm... 🤔 I dunno... This new dude's legs aren't as long as Tech's. New theory: it's just a regular clone assassin, I'm convinced that the one on Pabu is Tech, but I still don't know and getting a little anxious. 😬 Happy Bad Batch Eve and Tech Tuesday though! 😃
