#he just ACTS dumb

[lilislegacy]

percy has been called smart by hazel, reyna, and annabeth (twice).

to say he’s actually dumb is to disagree with those three women. and if you are disagreeing with 3 of the most knowledgeable, capable, and badass characters in the series… what are you even doing?

#stop saying percy is dumb #he is NOT #he just ACTS dumb #because he often says his first thoughts aloud before thinking #and his adhd has so many different effects on him #and because his adhd was never properly handled by his teachers #so #he grew up thinking he’s an idiot #but he’s NOT #percy jackson #annabeth chase #reyna ramirez arellano #hazel levesque #heroes of olympus #percabeth #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #the son of neptune #the house of hades #the demigod files

am i the only one who thought it made sense for din to be an asshole to the super battle droids since that’s the exact kind that killed his family? 

#he's not dumb and i know he gained some trust in droids #but it makes total sense to me that he doesn't trust droids that served the empire's wars #like at all #those things killed his family it'd be a bit much that he'd act reasonable around them #i just see everyone saying it's character regression and i don't really look at it like that #more like nuance #din djarin #the mandalorian #the mandalorian spoilers

Short freenoodles focused comic inspired in part by takakmimi's freenoodles post on twt!!

#I don't think he believes him #Actually married freenoodles is great BUT #The friends > queerplatonic > actually acting like a romantic couple pipeline is so funny #a. They're already both so comfy with each other that neither of them notice or b. They're both heavy in denial and won't bring it up #Sandy has been trying to wingman them together for years and has probably mostly given up by now #Mei never stops discretely taking pictures so she has IMMENSE blackmail and bragging rights the day they actually do get married #Red son is just confused and thinks they're both dumb #Mk probably genuinely hasn't figured it out yet 💀 #Do you see my vision they're great #lmk freenoodles #freenoodleshipping #lmk pigsy #lmk tang #lmk mk #lmk red son #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #Red son is so fun to draw actually I should draw him more often #Still have no idea how to draw MK's hair 💀 #Zaacoy art💫

you think dean did not learn how to drive stick at some point? car guy dean?? and with so many different cars at his disposal at bobby’s??? please. like yes the imapala is an automatic this is not brand new information. And no that has zero bearing on whether he could drive a manual car. he’s smart. he loves old cars. he’d be eager to learn.

#people just love acting like he’s some bumbling idiot for the sake of a dumb shitpost #vic.txt

One of the biggest HotD missed opportunities is not exploring the trauma that comes from having to marry your immediate family.

Not exploring how Targ women are raised to think of their brothers as their future husbands.

How damaging it is when the lines of what's familial and what's romantic blur.

Helaena grew up knowing she'll marry her older brother, never given an option to even think of finding love somewhere else.

Aegon not wanting to marry his sister but he is a Targaryen and as a Targaryen there isn't much of a choice in it anyway.

Aemond who says he will marry his sister because it would be his duty to do so. Who doesn't even understand how strange and wrong that is - the fact that he sees marrying his sister as just another duty to fulfill.

The fact that we don't see how Helaena (arguably the biggest victim in that situation) feels about it all is just criminal.

The fact that we were never showed Helaegon getting married is such a missed opportunity because it would give an audience a way to understand just how disturbing that Targaryen custom is.

Another missed opportunity is not seeing Helaena pregnant and/or giving birth.

But I especially, ESPECIALLY, hate the way the show implied that it was all Alicent's doing purely because it means that now that highly traumatic experience of not only children but also siblings getting married became an Alicent issue and not an issue of hundred years of one family's abusive blood supremacy tradition.

#house of the dragon #hotd #alicent hightower #aegon ii targaryen #helaena targaryen #aemond targaryen #team green #i hope it's something they can at least try to explore in s2 #i would love to talk about daemon x rhaenyra #but i won't #because i believe that in the show it was made clear that he groomed her #it's just that the audience likes to act dumb #and pretend that what they have is healthy #and true love or whatever other bs

[galedekarios]

reading a new interview and seeing larian's lead writer refer to gale as "the guy who annoys everyone" and "constantly eats your most treasured possessions" really explain a lot of things that are in the game tbh

#they also consider the ending where he blows himself up as the 'right' ending #truly a Great Message to send #'you deserve to die after making a mistake and taking someone up on their offer to help you it's just the price you have to pay' #also saying that halsin's quest ended in act ii and now he's just there plus #admitting that you dumbed stuff down and made characters 'nicer' for whiny redditors is... Interesting too #truly Choices were made #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: personal #bg3 critical #larian critical

Okay so one thing that I don’t get about the james somerton fiasco is why spread the “nazis were secretly all gay” myth? Like all the other bullshit pointed out in todd’s breakdown I understand the motivation. Laziness, racism, misogyny all immediately spring to mind, even the ridiculous; “all the fun gays died of aids, and the only people left behind were boring assimilationist” bit. It’s obviously deeply offensive for about ten different reasons, but I get why it’s an argument that would fit into his weird world view.

But why, why would you as a gay man stand there with your whole entire chest and tell your audience that the SS were secretly all fucking each other? Is it really just some messed up fetish? The only thing I can think is that he himself is really that stupid and read that somewhere and just uncritically accepted it as fact and let it feed into his own understanding of queer history and culture which the more I think about it the more that would actually explain a lot.

don't mind me, I made a thing for a thing that I'm not too sure when I'll be done with 'cause it requires coding knowledge-

Idk It always bothered me that they both had only one sprite, so I wanted to fix that

#I love those two goobers #you have no idea #They're Caviar's adopted children and they're both so so dumb and silly I treasure them dearly #Yes I think pinky keeps a knife on their person at all times #they seem like someone who likes spooking people when they're not chiseling away at some wood with it to pass the time #And bluey's a spoiled teacher's pet that acts like second in command when he gets yelled at just as much for stupid shit #they bicker a lot and have to be separated by either Caviar or Candy Diver before they kill each other #cookie run kingdom #cookie run #crk #republic sailor cookie 2 #republic sailor cookie 1 #sprites #legend of the duskgloom sea #Oh yeah and I gave pinky a gold tooth #sue me

I have decided, Julie's my favorite X•D

#Julie Joyful #Frank Frankly #Wally Darling #Welcome Home #WelcomeH #Other's OCs #PartyCoffin #Crabby Pal's Art #Also dumb lil headcanon X•D: #I headcanon that Wally likes to keep a comb around to “comb” his hair. #Like maybe he doesn't really understand the concept of it or why people do it #But he likes to mimic the act of doing so for some reason anyway X•D #ASSUMING his hair is made of plush and fabric that is #Update: JUST REMEMBERED that one picture Clown made with Wally and his hair down cause of the rain X•D #Headcanon disbanded 😂 #Still like to imagine he just busts out a comb at some of the most uncompelling ass times tho X•D

I would fight Tolkien himself over my absolute belief that Maglor not throwing himself into the water but singing in sorrow on the shores forever is simply the best possible ending fo him

#silmarillion #the silmarillion #feanorians #maglor #tolkien #silm #i feel very strongly about this #it’s so perfect in so many ways #and I’m not even saying he’ll eventually be saved #him being saved is not a necessity for this #but maglor throwing himself into the water cluching the silmaril is dumb #and boring #and after maedhros just plain repetitive #like i get that ur all for that death = redemption something something christianity #but mags deserves for his final act to be the abandonament of the silmaril #after spending the whole story following his family even when he knew it was wrong #also the fulfilment of feanor added ‘sing of our deeds forever’

Oh yes my favorite duo, 'AAWEHEHEGWGWV 🥺🥺' and 'I'm barely tolerating your ass'

#Deltarune #utdr #ralsei #kris dreemurr #i don't actually believe in the 'Ralsei is actually in love with the player' i just think the idea is funny #in tea theory terms: kris getting 60+ health probably means they like ralsei enough considering the circumstances #but them barely tolerating him because he's putting an annoying uwu vibe to please the player is a way funnier #people in the fandom worrying over Ralsei being all suspicious but I'm here to show you that's actually a good thing #imagine how unbelievable funny it would be if his cute face just dropped the second the player isn't looking #and ralsei tries to explain to kris that they should also act a bit more put together for the sake of their plan #'kris professionals have standards' and proceeds to do his dumb looking down blushy face #anyway thanks for listening to my insane ramblings about sus ralsei

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

#hs #homestuck #dirk strider #eye strain #probably? if you think i should tag something else let me know!! #anyway hooray its time for rambling in the tags #so uhhh heres the teæ i've been sick for like a week and you know how it is when suddenly your throat becomes the main gunk warehouse #and you can't breathe lol. wish i could just pull it out. anywaaayy this is basically a vent piece for me being sick lol #also i could draw remotively the same thing with kris deltarune. oh how easy it is to project having a cold #though i have been also experiencing troubles with feelings recently as well....how fitting for dirk #speaking of the man himself (enough of me) his relationship with his own Heart...is peculiar to say the least #the thing i love about alphakids is that despite being so feral they were. so relatable. i cannot stress this enough how unwell they are an #and how they represented being a teen so well. yeah being 15 years old makes that to you #imagine being an emotional mess and trying to fit the 'norm' and act normal about your friends so youre not offputting #and then you fall in love with you friend and your ai clone falls in love with him too looool noone makes out of this one alive #uhh literally. godtiering stuff and dying remember #and speaking of it. tw for suicidal talk for the rest of tags #do you ever think dirk was suicidal. of course the part of when he teleports his head to jake was totally planned and he knew he would -> #wake up as dreamself but. don't you think the moment he cut his head off was sort of. cathartic. how much did he hate his own guts #beheading himself not only for the plan...but also because he thought he 'deserved' it #also wow he is a Prince and was literally beheaded don't you think its funny hahaa #sigh poor thing #this has ended on a not the very pleasant note hm #also fckkkkkk i didn't draw anything with rose/mary for the lesbian visabilty week #(putting the slash because tumblr search system has a dumb gag with showing you posts that contain the tag inside the other tag. #and i don't want this post to show up for the ros/mary fans because it's not!!!! its rose's father emotional crisis post!!!!) #update YOOOO WHAT THE HELL THE GIF HAS EVEN LESS PIXELS THEN I PLANNED fantastic #this your breakfast now tumblr. enjoy your crunchy flakes of dirks meltdown. mwah

It's always so intriguing to watch Foolish from another perspective during lore, because it usually really is just guesswork to his thoughts and motives. Even during the moments he's being entirely honest, he can be hard to pin down.

Watching Foolish there's no question as to how much he knows, or how much he cares. It's always more than you think. You get to watch him choose to play a happy go lucky idiot, and then join in the act in chat. Watching him break down that act today was fun.

First with Fit, his joyful positive attitude starting to crack after looking through Leo's photos. His moment to gather himself before talking, his trailing off and voice cracks when asked if he's okay, only to change the subject immediately.

Then with Bad, talking about their months on the island and just what trust means. Considering how to weed out a federation puppet, going over theories with each other after just having told one another that the best way to find the rat is to give theories out one at a time to find the leak.

I’ll have to watch Fit's perspective of today later, but I know with Bad, the mood change was obvious - and yet somehow, he managed to get away with much more than he let on.

Still, it’s obvious he’s starting to crack, with Leo being gone, with Bad clearly deteriorating - you can’t pretend to be happy and carefree for forever, when the stress is this high.

#as a doozer it’s so fun to watch the moment before he chooses chaos and silliness. the moment he decides to play dumb #because you can tell. you see he’s calculating then he grins and wipes the thoughts from behind his eyes. and he gets away with it #I hope this makes sense I’m so eepy #today was a big day for lore and qFoolish enjoyers. he’s dropping acts and getting serious and even then there’s more layers #idk it’s just so interesting #and even after talking with bad! when he takes a photo of etoiles in the fed base for later evidence. #makes another photo to burn in case the others confront him about it again. the moment he sneaks away he’s sly and serious. then he rejoins #and he’s giggly and part of the group #it’s just fun it’s so fun I love foosh I’m excited to see what’s next #AND IM EXCITED FOR TOMORROW ORDEM PARANORMAL LETS FUCKING GO #mcyt #qsmp #q!foolish #foolish gamers #bbh #fitmc #z speaks

getting into a fight with roommate atsumu (who you definitely do NOT have feelings for) so one night you swap out his bed for a race car bed while he's out on a date

#he comes home with his date and is so flustered that he just storms into your room #(while she's still in his... just kinda staring at the race car bed) #being like 'WHAT THE HELL IS THAT' #and you play dumb and act like it's always been there knowing she can hear the entire conversation from the next room #she ends up leaving and the fight continues and it culminates in #atsumu going 'WELL JOKES ON YOU BECAUSE I ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE ANYWAY!!' #you tell 'em tsumu!! #hq hcs
