Ran across a ‘humans are weird/space orcs/humans in space’ post the other day talking about how humans make up games if they’re stuck somewhere with nothing to do and it just got me thinking about that one game and how aliens would be so baffled

As in THE game, you all know the one (for those reading this I’m so sorry to make you lose ‘the game’ again, if it’s any consolation I have now lost ‘the game’ making this post myself) and just how baffling that is from a non human perspective can you imagine it-

this is for fun? And it’s not even a game game? It’s just saying you lost the game/mentioning ‘the game’ and humans will get irrationally annoyed/upset/angry about it like-

Brian: hey Lee, guess who just lost the game?

Lee: what gam- OH YOU ASSHOLE I HAD A STREAK OF FOUR YEARS GOING!!!

Every alien in the room: ??????

#it’s baffling to other humans who don’t know it and then it’s very funny when after being informed they /also/ then get angry about losing 😂 #humans are weird #humans are space orcs #humans in space #accursed posts #sorry everyone reading this post but you too have lost the game #again #might be interesting to see how universal the game is if this post gets notes tho also #everyone growing up around me knew it so maybe 🤔

Trainwreck in double speed

#Fuyuhiko kuzuryu #Peko pekoyama #kuzupeko #super danganronpa 2 #sdr2 #an art #Fuyuhiko ruining himself with the pressure and violence and fitting into shoes he neither fits nor wants #Peko ruining herself by erasing herself and falling into a role she hates for someone she loves #Both of them shaving off bits of themselves until they're just not the same people at all in a bad way. Together through it all! #Both of them hate it but are powerless to change what they were sculpted into! #Anyway. How are we feeling tonight guys. I'm having weird feelings about family (not found but obligatory) #(Hiko and Peko aren't found family they actually are. Enforced obligatory family that's barely even family.) #(That's NOT as in they dont care about each other they care so much. But they didnt grow up as family or friends) #(They grew up through obligation) #OKAY time to stop talking

1. Sokka knows all the best Southern Water Tribe hair oil mixtures and therefore Izumi's hair is the best in the palace (yes even beating Zuko) and 2. Sokka doing Izumi's hair became their gossip hour and that's the way it's been since she was a toddler

#avatar the last airbender #atla #zukka #zukka fanart #zuko #sokka #digital art #artists on tumblr #my art #atla fanart #izumi #zuko has figured out parenting for the most part #but izumi sneaking out means she's growing up and he doesn't know how to handle that #and he tries to hide how sad he is by being normal as he can around izumi #which means he just acts super awkward and weird #i came up with the complete lore behind this dw

Do you think in 2024 people will realise that a) tommys not a 15 year old kid anymore he's 20 b) people thinking hes handsome isn't weird c) the way people made fun of him online in 2020/2021 for being cringe or whatever was fucked up and they felt way too comfortable calling a literal teenager ugly

#Sorry i am very petty . #i know given that as a white (and until yesterday also straight) guy hes more privileged than others in terms of how he gets treated #but it does make me mad the way people felt so comfortable ragging on an actual teenager back in the day #And also the way people act like its some weird thing to find him attractive compared to other ccs like Guys hes not a child grow up #alex.rambles.txt #cc!tommy #mcyt #discourse

[hawkeyeslaughter]

hawkeye who makes jokes that are followed with an uncomfortable silence hawkeye that says awkward things a little too loud hawkeye who is over exaggerated and does childish things that anyone else would be embarrassed to be caught doing or be around and trapper who always catches his eye and smiles at every flat joke trapper who sometimes mouths things at the same time hawkeye says them because he knows him that well trapper who happily indulges in hawkeye’s silly shenanigans . i am sick . i am sick

#i can’t even explain to you guys how trapper just going along with hawkeye makes me emotional #when you grow up as the weird kid with people looking at you funny when you did silly things it is more upsetting than i’d care to admit #it’s implied that trap is more ‘ normal ‘ so the fact that he just goes along with hawkeye #i . #y’all i . #he’s important to me #mash #m*a*s*h #mashposting #mash 4077 #mashblr #hawkeye pierce #hawkeye #trapper john mcintyre #trapper john #john mcintyre #trapper mcintyre #piercintyre #piercentyre #hawktrap #traphawk #lgbt #lgbtq

I wonder what the kids and teachers in luz's school think of her now. Shes stopped "terrorizing" other kids, mainly because she seems to have stopped engaging with most of her classmates period. She no longer brings live animals or taxidermy to school. She even participates in english class occasionally, even if she doesnt "get" the point of the book. Her rants only clock as suicidal if you know about her time in the boiling isles which the people at her school do not.

I wonder if luz's teachers and schoolmates think that luz mellowed out over the summer. If the principal/counselor that suggested she go to the camp patted himself on the back because shes "improved."

#the owl house #toh #shut up pandora #luz noceda #something something people see a neurodivergent kid having depression and breathe a sigh of relief bc now theyre finally 'normal' #people speculate maybe luz would have been fine going to the summer camp and while i agree she would have made friends #she would not have been fine! she would have just learned to suppress her identity like camila did #but going to the boiling isles was her only option bc she either gets suppressed quickly at the summer camp #or she keeps acting out at school and eventually society wears her down and shames her into conforming like it did to her mom #something about how even if the camp helps luz act like a 'normal person' she still would have been miserable bc she couldnt be herself #it temporarily benefits her by giving her friends and benefits ppl around her by making her act 'normal' #but the kids there are still weird at heart! they have a community to be weird around now but society at large will still look down on them #unless they put on a front all the time to fit in #and the boiling isles isnt perfect either its society still looks down on luz for being different #but it accepts her neurodivergence and her new friends are all neurodivergent like her so she still has a community to be herself around #and while it looks down on her for having no natural magic it isnt something shes been shamed about growing up like her neurodivergence was #anyway the camp wasnt as catastrophic as luz thought it would be and vee benefitted from it #but it still represented a slow rot. the kind that eats away at neurodivergent kids as they grow up #slowly shaming them to hide away parts of themselves deemed unfit for society #and when you hide behind a front and are exhausted and miserable from it #everyone applauds you for your 'recovery.' youve improved yourself. they never liked the old you #good job on destroying yourself and shoving the pieces into a facsimile of what the people around you think you ought to be

i saw a video about the Queen in Dungeon Meshi and her skin colour. and people in the comments had all sorts of theories on why she and Flamela have such dark skin. and it made me realise that a lot of people haven’t seen this page of the Adventurers Bible:

#people were saying they’re dark elves (in universe that’s actually a sort of outdated term for elves who do ancient magic) #that they thought it was a weird reference to minstrel shows (not really my place to speak on it #but they are drawn like all the other characters just a flipped colour scheme) #that they’re drow (maybe design was inspired by that but that’s it) #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #flamela #there’s a lot to speculate about in her backstory. why was her sister the one chosen? did the queen kill her to keep the throne to herself? #how was it growing up separated from her twin but still so obviously a royal? #also to note. the very first Queen we see. why is her ear mangled like that? interesting

Milk ref sheet done yaHOOOOOOOOOOO lookit my big beautiful baby they filled with joy and happiness

#milk #digital #mogimage #the worst part of making this was their fucked up hands #lemurs gotta lemur and grab fruits and branches and small animals and bugs but y'know its fucked up that they have weird hands #at least i was able to euphemistically state how much fun they have with themselves and their girlfriend #robbie just has fuckin. hoof fingers. it don't work like that for her #very sad about that #ANYWAY i learned recently from a discussion on discord about putting tattoos on furries that scars grow white fur sometimes #so i applied that here to make it look less like just fur texture on milk's arms #might tone it down eventually but im not certain #a side story about that is that milk changes the story behind all of their sh scars every time they're asked by someone they don't trust #like “yeah i broke some equipment in a hs chemistry class and stupidly tried to wipe up broken glass with my arms” #“i tried to hug a big cactus when i was younger” #or “i used to work in a kitchen and i was really bad at paying attention when cutting vegetables” #generally they just don't like to think about it so they wear funny arm socks or long sleeves most of the time but sometimes they don't car

The idea that some people still think Nesta’s main traits are supposed to be bitchy, mean, and a hater…idk what to tell you but the whole point of her healing journey is to not be those things because all it did was hurt everyone around her and herself.

#nesta archeron #nessian #she herself thought it was wretched of her to behave this way because of her unhealed trauma #that she’s STILL working through #SHE didn't like being that way. #sometimes it's strange to see how people will glorify those traits of hers like it’s a good thing. #it’s not. that’s the whole point of acosf #why reduce her to some of her worst moments? #let her grow damn it #she can be a badass while not being an asshole #especially to the people who love her #and I’m not inviting hate or rude comments with this post. #if you’re not going to polite - save it. I’m not going to argue with you #and before any of you get offended thinking this is about you #it's not lol. #It's something I've seen more on instagram/tiktok than here but still see it and it's weird. #She can be firm and stand up for herself and a warrior and all those amazing things without reducing her to just being a bitch lol. #gp #random monday thoughts #I love my girl Nesta SO MUCH but she's so much more than her mean girl moments. #also knock it off with the weird cassian hate #he's the love of her life and her literal soulmate #'she's better off without him' #actually no she isn't lol. he's one of the MAIN reason she's able to get better and help herself #have some nuance and calm down lol

[aimseytv]

one thing that always makes me 0_0 is when people claim to be supportive of people being neurodivergent up until said person displays neurodivergent traits and then it’s a whole whirlwind of just “this person is annoying because of (insert neurodivergent trait here)”

#growing up in school and listening to people use my normal speech patterns as reasons to actually dislike me put a dent in my heart #13 year old aimsey was crushed when they found out people found them annoying for stuff they couldn’t figure out how to stop #now i’m like eh fuck it if people can’t stand it that’s fair but just don’t be weird and make fun of someone for something they can’t change #life is too short #be nice

Zim's PAK regulates his temperature so he doesn't get very cold. .....Dib on the other hand is freezing and hates the snow

#invader zim #iz zim #iz dib #zadr #zadf #zadp #my art #also zim can hide his lack of ears with earmuffs ! #so zim likes winter bc the clothes work better for him #he can layer up or wear things on his head #it's not weird to wear gloves at all times #Irken clothing covers up a lot of skin but idk if that's cultural or just how uniforms are #if it's cultural then zim would like how winter clothes cover up so much too #tho I hc that Irkens (or zim particularly) don't like things tight on their neck much #and zim eventually grows accustomed to loose fitting human clothes and ends up preferring it

this came to me in a vision

#i was listening to the sarazamai soundtrack and was thinking about how it and bishounen tanteidan end in almost the exact same way #these are like the quintessential animes about growing up to me #growing up is fucking weird man #as always if you havent seen any please go watch #bishounen tanteidan especially i feel like isnt talked about enough its so good #well i actually wouldnt say its on the same level of good as sarazanmai and tsuritama but its still a fave #also once again sorry the pic is so blurry idk why #tumblr hates beautiful animes #one time in class i said i like making venn diagrams and honey i was not lying #sarazanmai #bishounen tanteidan #pretty boy detective club #tsuritama

sssstop!!!!!! assuming ganondorf is a rapist random youtube videos I'm literally eating my own fingers and swallowing the bones whole like one of those weird birds aaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

#thoughts #ganondorf #cw rape mention #he NEVER showed interest in women in that way #to assume it's canon is so!!! aaaaaa!!!! #the gerudos would fucking destroy him if he was!!!!!!! #the gerudos by and large respect him until he fucks around and pulls a little invasion moment on everybody!!! #and if they don't it's because of a political divergence regarding how he sees hyrule!!!! #it's NEVER implied he takes advantage of them in that way!!! #(unless you assume a number of underlying orientalist tropes due to the way they look which --we talked about this enough in here) #there was a time where he was but a wee boy growing up among them #and unless they taught him it was something that was ok for him to do --why would he EVER even think of doing that??? #even nabooru's situation (which was mentioned) is mostly focused on making her a top soldier to maintain order within his ranks #the notion that he would take advantage of her is??? he's not even around when she's brainwashed????? #she's literally encased in a hugeass armor!!! #and it's his moms doing the back-end work of keeping the gerudos in line while he's handling stuff in Hyrule?? #nothing motivates me to keep working on Thralls more than Casual Ganondorf Slander u_u #like he did enough bad stuff as it is!!! can't we focus on the stuff he definitively did do instead of being weird???

[uncanny-tranny]

It's actually kind of heartbreaking how many people feel their life has ended right after high school or college, and honestly, the heavy romanticization of that period of time is so overwhelmingly predominant that it can be hard to avoid. It's insidious to constantly be told that ages 10-24 are the only worthwhile parts of life, that everything after is essentially meaningless and dull.

It's hard not to look around you and think that your life still is open and full of potential when you're told over and over again that the rose-tinted childhood is the last time you were alive. It's hard to realize that your life isn't over when you walk off the stage of your graduation.

We must realize that we will always be full of potentials. Your life won't be over until you take your final breath, and then? That's simply another chapter in your story, one of many. Let yourself realize that you're alive in the here and now. There will be good and bad, but never a complete loss of potential or hope.

#positivity #it's just... weird when you see somebody your age who says how over their life feels you know? #and i feel for them. i feel their pain and the emptiness of not knowing what's next or what you should do #and that's sometimes the scary part of life. but your story isn't over yet #one day it will be. one day you'll put the pen down and dry the ink on the yellowed pages and close your book of life. but that's not today #you are allowed to be an aimless spirit. you are allowed to breathe in without the crushing weight of productivity #the idea that your only potential happens when you're too young to realize it is wrong #your potential has nothing to do with feeling your youth and how little you know #it is hard to really internalize this and remind yourself to make space for hope and positivity... #...and you might not be ready to internalize this. that's okay. i'll wait with you (in a strictly spiritual sense) #we can wait together and not think about any of it. just to rest and collect our minds and feel the world hold its breath with us #all this to say that your life isn't over yet. you don't have to beat yourself up over not having lived at fucking 18 #allow yourself the compassion to realize that you needed time to grow and mature and explore the world in your own way
