#i really do hate bg 3... like not even the game itself just that it shows up literally everywhere #and is generally referred to as a universally loved game #there is literally no escape its littered in merch artist spaces bc its a popular property #the way that its its own little touchstone?? urgh! augh! do Not let bg 3 represent all choice-based rpgs w romances #sorry for my 1 am hater hours but if bg 3 has no haters i am dead etc etc

idk i just think it’s a little weird that almost every character who gets the “innocent baby” / “little ray of sunshine” treatment usually ends up just having neurodivergent traits and actual negative traits in the show that nobody pays attention to. like idk man it just feels like diet infantilization to me and it’s a teeny weeny bit uncomfortable to see all the time

#what’s even weirder is that half of these precious sunshine baby characters will canonically have some kind of temper too 😭😭 #like sorry I don’t think Adrien is an innocent ray of sunshine he was literally destroying property out of spite 😭😭 #cal.txt #autism stuff #fandom ableism #infantilization #she ra spop #entrapta #spn #supernatural #jack kline #autistic jack kline #adrien agreste #Like of course he isn’t canonically ND but the whole angle of his social awkwardness and unawareness #miraculous ladybug #it’s still a common trait in ND people and it’s probably the most infantilized aspect of us #but come on man #and don’t even get me started on jack. we know how I feel #TLDR jack strangling the gas n sip employee in a rage so blind he had to be shot in the back to snap out of it #like am I alone in this am I detecting a pattern that nobody else is . #siigghhh #we will never be free 😭😭😭😭 #castiel #at some point in the fandom and probably still in a few corners #autistic representation #this goes for when a character is simply coded that way too #like I cannot stress enough how coding and representation work #I also cannot stress enough that ableism does not have to be intentional to be ableism holy BALLS dude #you can do it by accident!!! you can play into tropes that you didn’t realize were bad!!!! ITS NOT A MORAL FAILING ON YOUR PART #it’s just a product of society like everything else.

How in the fuck was Garaki able to reverse engineer Eri's quirk.

#mha critical #bnha critical #doctor garaki #eri mha #no i will not stop shitting on the final war #because HOW #am i missing something #i know mha has never been the most scientifically accurate manga #but i assumed that he was only able to do this with afo because of its special properties #are you telling me he can just do this with any quirk

you guys know that "landlords are leeches get a real job" is a haha funny bit you say to illustrate the hypocrisy of the rhetoric surrounding work and what qualifies as 'contributing' to capitalist society and not a coherent leftist belief right? you guys are saying that because it's funny to watch landlords sputter to come up with a response to the kind of attitude they have always subjected tenants and renters to and not because you genuinely believe your worth is determined by the money you earn under capitalism, right? you understand that once you believe it is possible for someone (even landlords) to be a 'leech' on society if they arent working (or aren't working enough, or aren't doing the right kind of work, etc), this will bleed into the way you think of everyone else too, right? you guys know that legitimate and meaningful critiques of landlords are not and can never be based on whether or not they are working because that is irrelevant to the fact that they own property for the express purpose of charging other people for access to shelter, which is a basic human need and shouldnt be controlled by the whims of Some Guy just because its his name on the deed... right???

#good idea generator #preaching to the choir on this one for sure i just sometimes see interactions on this website that worry me #like babygirl what about people who cannot work due to circumstance ability or both? ppl who will NEVER work? #do u think theyre leeches too??? you can SAY 'oh well i obviously dont mean those ppl' but like #the rhetoric was designed to be used against Those People specifically to turn YOU against THEM when youre on the same side #its funny to use against the ruling class but its not like. effective except as a snappy comeback #additionally what about landlords who do work?? who have dayjobs?? #landlords who do live in the property they rent. who rent out bedrooms or basement suites or the like #are these people no longer leeches? do you think this system of land ownership is fine if all parties have jobs?? #do you see what i am saying. it is not possible to critique capitalism as a system #while relying on the frameworks capitalism uses to prop itself up. #you will only EVER end up tacitly supporting the very thing you declare youre against

I just read someone’s hot take on ‘the mermaid scene’ being ‘peak cringe’ and I just-

Sweet, sweet human. That’s Ed’s psyche you’re taking about. My dude is having his life flash before his eyes in the most beautiful little heartbreaking s1 montage, and if that’s how he wants to picture Stede coming to redeem his lonely fucking soul - as a glittery goddamn tits-out merman, then that’s HIS GODDAMN BUSINESS.

#like how #I don’t get it #also the fucking HIPS on that man am I right? (I’m right) #I mean I get it - it’s silly but then also consider that ITS NOT AND GO AWAY #don’t be kink-shaming my man #if he has a merman-Stede fantasy bouncing around in his psyche just ready to go then good for him #also I don’t know how you can be cringing during this scene with the fucking acting by the two of them like #MY HEART #anyway clearly I have some issues #‘some’ lol #but no fuck off actually this entire end sequence is magical I’ll fucking die on this hill come at me #things that will be playing on a loop rent free in my brain while I try to go about my life doing normal adult things like grocery shopping #and studying and having casual conversations #I’ll be like ‘wow those red capsicums have gotten pricey I wonder if it’s a shipping thing?’ #or like ‘yeah I see what you’re saying but I don’t think Nozick’s views on identity and property have the level of overlap you’re assuming’ #and then suddenly my whole brain will just be the image of Stede’s face when he stops on the stairs and stares at Ed’s body #and I’ll be wondering why I can suddenly feel the supermarket floor tiles with my face #and what’s happening? why am I in this white padded van? #where are we going?! #ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers

#i am going to NEED people to stop applying real world morality to a sitcom from the 70s/80s #it is fine to say you would be uncomfortable if something happened to you in real life #but then projecting that onto the characters of that world and saying they were/should be equally harmed is just. its not a thing. #i personally am uncomfortable with hawkeye being sedated out of his manic state. #if someone did that to me id cut them out of my life #i dont then say hawkeye should have cut trapper and henry out of his life for it #things in the mash world simply do not hold the same weight. #this is a show where people siphon off blood from a sleeping man #where people steal watches to gamble them away #where destroying prized personal property happens nearly every episode #do you watch tom and jerry and worry about animal cruelty? #it is possible to sit with your own discomfort without saying that it is felt by the characters in the show #either that or be consistent and apply your real world morality to all of them and write them all off as terrible people #to be clear i am talking about the moments where it is clearly shifting into comedy #i understand there is a lot of drama and mash shifts tone a lot. its useful to be able to differentiate between what tone it is aiming for #its also fair to say the tone they were aiming for was not achieved for you personally! key word there is personally

dont think i ever uploaded this here, but was sorting some papers today and this is stellina's herding instinct evaluation from earlier this year! she got a good grade in Being A Collie.

something i think a lot of people don't realize is how different herding styles vary between breeds - a rough collie and a border collie are both primarily sheep dogs, but work in radically different ways. while a BC tends to be a lot of hard stares and crouching and cutting movement, rough collies are upright herders that work at a lower intensity - soft gaze, keeping the stock together and moving them back and forth. while its true that the R/S collie breed development has been focused on conformation, they are still very much herding dogs that should still be able to show that instinct when given the opportunity. i wish herding tests/titles were more accessible and more widespread in the breed! several of the top herding and performance collies in the US have come from stellina's breeder but it is unfortunately more difficult to find a collie with sport titles here than it should be.

anyway hopefully we get the chance to do more herding stuff at some point, but i'm very glad we got the opportunity when we did.

#if u have a herdy dog definitely look for instinct tests! it doesnt require really any prep and its sooo cool to see those instincts go #anyway this is my personal plea to collie breeders to do more stuff outside of the ring with their dogs #they are such versatile dogs i am begging u to showcase that!! #there are def lines that have lost a lot of herding instinct and i think thats probably not taken as seriously as it should be #but i am just a humble pet owner with my singular pet collie so. shrug. #(this is also why i raise an eyebrow at breeding programs that talk a big game about 'breeding REAL WORKING collies' #meanwhile the dogs have never actually done more than wander around some goats on their owners property) #(yeah im looking at you 'farm collie' breeders step your game up) #(do some treibball or something come on)

Animal rescue workers: I dont get why no one will adopt these pets?? They're so sweet and good! We know people like them, they always get so many comments and likes. We socialized them, gave them shots and made the adoption process as easy as we could!

Every landlord in the province: If you even THINK about having pets you can't apply sorry :( :( We're just sooooo allergic (to the imagined property damage that, sure, a kid could do just as easily but you can't ban kids lol) and we just can't take the risk, sorry!! :( :( :( any pet would annihilate all life in the building we swear! so legally we get to say no pets upfront even though otherwise it would be illegal lolololol *service pets included

#anti landlords #disclaimer: obviously this is not the only reason pets are not being adopted but considering how hard it is to find a pet friendly home #in my area and how many people where i live are being evicted because landloards trade property like stocks #i really do think its a big factor here. i mean its stopped me from adopting and i know im not alone #i really want to get another cat and it breaks me up that i have to choose between that and finding a home #i am BITTER yall #this is only 1 of the million reasons i hate landlords

Random Jason Hijinks I either wish would happen someday or find amusing to think about.

Rose and Jason break Eddie out of hell and steal his soul back from Neron. Jaime is dragged along by Rose because he and Eddie were “friends a few reboots ago”. Jason asked Roy who sent him Connor who is suffering™.

Pre-Red Hood Jason and Pre-Green Arrow Connor first meet up back when Jason was part of the All-Caste hunting a demon. It’s a one-shot adventure and the things you have to know are:  

a) this is before Jason’s growth spurt so he’s over a head shorter than Connor.

b) Connor isn’t a cape so excuse him for not understanding demons and fucking up hilariously a few times.

c) When Jason tries to kill the demon who is possessing the human, he and Connor fight about it. The fight ends when the demon explodes out of the person like the Pus of Man from Dark Souls 3.

d) Talia is the one who finds and picks up Jason from the adventure (Connor thinks she’s his mom and Jason just didn’t inherit the melanin) and is also the one who gives Connor contact information for Jason because she wants him to have some sort of friend.

e) They never actually learned the other’s name so anytime they’d hear about Red Hood or Green Arrow they literally don’t know it’s that guy they met as teenagers.

Jason decides to actually dust off his mystic training when Dick walks in and Jason gets hit with so many bad vibes he’s genuinely worried something is wrong with Dick.  

Jason: “Did they not fix the Brother Blood mind control thing fully? Did Raven miss something? Isn’t Dick friends with a million people? How have they all missed this????”

It ends with bringing Danny Chase back to life and the only person remotely happy about it is Jason and even that’s a stretch.

Rose, why are you part of the Wild Hunt?!!!

What do you mean Biz got taken by the fae?!

Roy, why is this werewolf saying he’s your husband?!

Eddie, why didn’t you tell me you were a prince of hell? What do you mean that one of Trigon’s sons is buried in Gotham?!!! No wait, you still haven’t told me how you’re a prince of hell!

Jason and Talia's road trip where Jason comes to the uncomfortable realization that he views Talia as a mother/aunt figure.

Bonus Artemis suffering Jason’s Mom Has it Going On.

Jason gets a new dog named Ellie and he loves her and Dog very much. What do you mean she’s a Blue Lantern!?

Ellie is short for Elpis and she’s absolutely Hope Corgi.

Roy finds out that he has a whole-ass checking account under one of his aliases that he never knew about. Turns out Jason created it for him years ago and Roy’s actually under W.E.  employed as an independent contractor and he’s been making 6 figures for years because Jason never bothered telling anyone that he still owns Wayne R&D.

Jason slowly but surely claims Park Row and the surrounding areas as his territory. It has the unforeseen consequence of magical folk moving into the neighborhood because Gotham is a nightmare to live in normally, Magic Gotham is even worse and the only people who can survive are big hitters like Blood, Zatanna, and Ivy or small fries like the kitchen witch near Leslie’s. Welcome to the big leagues, Jason.

Jason keeps getting mistaken for Jason Blood and it is annoying. One day some demon hunters threw something at Jason and did anyone know Jason used to be in heaven because he sure didn’t and these angel wings are a fucking nightmare.

Rose busts a gut laughing because she somehow became friends with the least demon-y demon Eddie and Jason as an angel.

Jason, Ivy, Sideways, and Impulse (Impulse voice: “Why am I even here?”) vs the Madness Wavelength in Arkham.

Jason kills Joker and finds out that he cannot. Not as in “He doesn’t die” or “There will be a new one” but a secret third option, “The universe literally resets the day every time he’s killed.” Instead of being a tragedy, it becomes a comedy as killing Joker slowly becomes Jason’s go-to when shit goes wrong/killing him is good stress relief. Stephanie discovers what happens because she’s had to write the same essay nine times once. Instead of being horrified they (and then Helena, Tim, Duke, etc.) make killing Joker a gag. The only ones not allowed to kill the Joker are Dick and Bruce because then the universe decides it’s the bad timeline instead of just resetting again.

Tim: *drops his latte on a hot guy and then embarrasses himself in public trying to apologize and becomes a meme.*

Tim: I guess I have to kill Joker now.

Jason and Kory remeeting and wow it’s really awkward that we only got close because of a universe meddler and then you dipped and never contacted me again even though I was a hundred percent serious that you were one of my first friends and are very important to me.

Oh no. Not the talking. Not communication! Kory take mercy on me and just drop me like a bad memory don’t have us open a dialogue where we reconcile all of the bullshit that happened to us and the fact that we did genuinely get close at very low points in our lives and be willing to try and be friends again!

Give! Kory! All! The! Friends! She doesn’t care if you think it’s a bad idea, it's her life!

Gotham Vigilante Tabletop Club (GVTC) featuring Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Duke, Helena, and Harper. They each get a turn as dm and every one of them brings in a different game.

Why is Damian’s friend (Colin) asking me for love advice? I’m a gay disaster ask anyone else please. ??? I guess I can try to help??? Who’s your crush?

It’s Lian and Jason regrets agreeing to help because Roy is going to murder him.

Countdown 2 Electric Boogaloo. Except for this time they were all shoved into the dimension separately and by separate events and there is no danger. It is just a multiversal road trip with the people who vexed you greatly but are slightly grown up now.

Bonus scene includes Jason’s gleeful face when he realizes he understands what all of those words Donna keeps muttering under her breath mean because Artemis was a bro and taught him Themysciran Greek.

#I didn't mean for all of them to sound like comedies but sometimes that just happens #People may hate on the all-caste for not being Jason enough or whatever #But have we ever stopped to think that Damian is related to an immortal cult and Duke is the son of an eldritch being #And Dick is related to an unrelated cult and just all the weird shit that happens in Gotham anyways? #Why can all these exist and Jason not also have mystic monk training he never uses #Listen I don't know much about Gotham's magic population but I'm pretty sure the place is awful to live in with the nine different curses #So having a dude that's basically a mage-killer claim a territory can only be a good thing for their safety #Plus I'm positive that magic folk would keep property values low because who would go looking for magic users in Park Row #Everyone was written terribly for rhato but Jason and Kory had the potential to be a really interesting relationship #Just this lack of judgement and ability to not have to shave down all of your sharp edges for one another #also I do really like the idea of them trying romance or sex and then deciding that they need friends more and then staying friends #Gotham Vigilante Tabletop Club my beloved #Look Duke and Tim canonically play tabletop games and if dc would finally acknowledge that Stephanie and Jason are nerds they would too #I miss Colin and the idea of him and Jason being disaster siblings or disaster guardian-child is important to me #I don't know if it's canon but considering linguistic drift Themyscira should either have its own language or dialect #and Donna should use it to say mean things under her breath #Jason Todd #I am not tagging anyone else their tags deserve to be Bat-Free #oh boy do I love how I can't make indents in even in html.

#its crazy how much easier it is to do things when youre not completely miserable lol #this past week has been weird bc ive felt really really good and like normal in a way thats kinds unfathomable #im hoping its the medication but my mood was already on an upward tilt and i was told it would take like 6 weeks for the meds to work #property but like ive been sleeping way more than usual. and by that i literally just mean 8hrs a night lol which is weird for me #like that never ever ever happens multiple days in a row. so idk. when i feel better it makes the 0cd way easier to manage as well #and im just generally not as anxious. on the more worrisome side i kinda just give less of a fuck so like i have an exam im not ready for #Tuesday and im just kinda like hm fuck that lol. ill go thru lil fluctuations of having a lot of energy too #like: i could run around in circles rn. i dont have to but i could. like yesterday i was out with friends and i was like bouncing up and #down while standing and rocking from side to side while sitting. which i kinda do anyway while in crowds but it was more to expend energy #last night i also got like 5hrs of sleep. so like maaaaybe ive been on the bleeding edge of mood elevation but for the most part it just #feels good and not destructive. like if i felt like this all the time that would b fantastic. its like oh so this is y ppl dont long to b #put out of their misery lol. depression? who? i dont kno her. sounds fake. but as soon as i fucking say that ill b fucking slapped back #down to earth. ugh. annoying. no emotional object permanence. i hope its the meds. if this is the person i am under layers of misery then #that is fucking so insane. we shall see. im curious to hear what the psychiatrist thinks of my brain when i follow up with her #i gave her my full dys1exia assessment which gives a pretty good picture of how my head functions. oh fuck i bet i would do waaaayyy better #on thise test if i took it in this state of mind. but anyway she has that on top of like 3 assessment sheets i filled out #dispite everything i still want someone to categorize me into a discreet box. tell me doc. am i really bip0lar? really really? #ur sure??? like 1000% sure bc my brain wont let me accept that unless its beyond a reasonable doubt. i just doesn't seem that serious. #i mean. it is but like ya kno. its not that bad. ay. this glob of mush behind my eyes runs me in circles #but for now thats ok bc i feel like i could run up a mountain or punch someone in the face lol #unrelated

about to sleep so this might not be coherent but guys. we are absolutely not about to start comparing exclusion relating to harmless lgbt identities to people saying that they dont want endogenic systems interacting with their blog. what are you doing over there. think about what youre saying for half a second

#ripley.txt #you absolutely fucking cannot compare those two. one is your identity and the other is a fucking trauma disorder. stop that #sorry saw someone in the notes of a post doing that and its making me insane #do not come into my askbox w sys discourse btw unless youre looking to be informed or whatever. just in case #i am not looking for that and i do not want to have to argue with people over the properties of my disorder

Still mad that Ar Pharazon is made up to be this lame Jafar ripoff mf in the rings of power. Honestly, evil advisors are getting really played out as a trope.

In the Silmarilion, he was a a warrior, a war monger in fact, who forced himself upon his cousin in order to usurp the throne. This character could've been used as an excellent critique of toxic masculinity, especially with the recent popularity of alpha males.

Having Miriel as a victim of spousal abuse would also be an interesting plot point as well, especially if juxtaposed with the free and very much in charge of herself (especially if they were to keep Celeborn and have. Look, I'm all for strong female characters, but if all your female characters are just the same 'strong, arrogant woman who can totally do everything a guy can fo because we are feminists here at up with the times studio' in dufferent fonts, well I'm gonna start thinking that you don't know how to write women.

Also wishing they went more horror with Sauron than 'villain romance'. Like apologies for wanting one of the most iconic villains of all time to be an actually fun antagonist rather than reliving every 'reader x (insert fictional villain) self insert fic from the early 2010s'

#i am a proud hater #also its been a while since i last read the sil and i dont have the copy with me so feel free to nitpick #rop had potential... it just didn't live up to it. (amazon usurps a property with a lot of potential and then squanders it. shocker) #i may elaborate on this but i thinking too much about the rings of power just... hurts #the rings of power #rings of power #anti rings of power #anti rop #tolkien #the silmarilion #ar pharazon #galadriel #tar miriel #sauron

Darn if only you knew Sugary Spire better I wanted to know how would you make Pizella threatening to Pizanno when Pizanno has all the same abilities as Peppino?

I may look into it; tbh it would only be bc pizzano is so fucking CUTE and i hate to be the person that only engages in the fandom aspect of any type of media. I saw some P ranks of levels in the game but i havent seen anything else recommended to me, not even boss fights in that game, if they even exist 😭

#answered #chattin #sugary spire #i have no idea where to even start lol it feels very much like the lines between fandom and game are VERY thin #when the game in question is already a Fan Game of an existing property #ALL I KNOW is that pizzano is cute as hell and i want to draw him interacting w peppino 😭 #also that he smokes #also that pizelle is a girl? which confused the shit out of me bc i thought it was like a 1:1 roleswap kind of thing #but apparently its not? i dunno 😭 #or am i only seeing that side of sugary spire #like how theres butch noise and peppino (which i love so so dearly …..)

HAHAHAHA, I should clarify that I just mean for super hero-y ones. I mostly watch the first one and rarely watch the second (or anything after...... or remakes, lol), I think the only Marvel one I've seen in recent history is Thor: Ragnarok. Actually, the Spider-man franchise pretty much encapsulates how I interact with Marvel properties: I saw the first trilogy because it was new and exciting at the time, then they remade it too fast and I refused to pay for something I just saw, that was so recent in my memory from the release date I could still remember exact scenes from it (THERE WERE ONLY FIVE YEARS BETWEEN SPIDER-MAN 3 AND THE REBOOT - THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT AGAIN. HOW IS THAT ENOUGH TIME FOR ANYONE TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT AGAIN???), then I watched the first Tom Holland one (fourteen years I can vibe with) and nothing that followed because that's generally when the gimmicks and cameos start in lieu of good story-telling, or they make it dark and gritty because that's the only way to ground this superhuman, right (I assume a random white guy: "Should we fridge a lady? Yeah, we should probably fridge a lady"). The first one generally at least tries to have a soul because they have to introduce the character and make you care about them but many of the ones that follow (the few I've seen from when the MCU was just starting out and I had hope *coughs*Iron Man 2, Thor 2, etc.*coughs*) are just cash grabs that don't try because you already love this character and there they are, right there, so money please!

Meg 2 however..... EPIC, NO NOTES. It knows if I was a shark girl, I was probably a dinosaur girl and it gambled correctly. That's what you're watching this for? Have three sharks and an unnecessary (probably stupid expensive) dinosaur intro that is nearly completely irrelevant to the story but that you will also not want to live without and for an extra special bonus: oblivious husbands and their brilliant daughter. Like. You got me nailed, my dude. Will watch every subsequent sequel, no questions asked.

#i do understand that spider-man is a bullshit studio thing #and that it's a marvel property that belongs to sony and i implied everything is under the mcu umbrella #(and i honestly don't fault them for remaking it. instead i just don't understand how there was an audience for it???) #but they're all guilty of the same shit for different but also EXACTLY THE SAME reasons #they want to fleece money from me. because that's how it feels: like i'm being swindled #they're not earning my money through good content but instead through brand recognition and shared cultural touchstones #YOU CAN'T HAVE MY MONEY MOUSE #sony you can when it's miles (that is a sequel i DID watch and that DID have a soul imo) :)))) #something similar (cash grabs) are pretty much the exact reason i stopped reading marvel comics too #capitalism ruins everything #for a moral everyone knows *snorts* #also generally the sequels have bigger budgets and just to quote freckle...... sometimes things that are expensive are worse #great things sometimes come from people having to work within constraints and when you aren't given any....... terrible things can happen #like bbc sherlock lolol. AHEM #basically if i watch a sequel now it has to be a character i am VERY invested in so i'm willing to be burned - deadpool or miles #or it has to break containment from people who will go see anything with a marvel sticker on it to people who..... won't #and still recommend it - like ragnarok #(i wonder if NOT going the dark gritty route and instead having a fun story with a conflict that wasn't dependent on outdoing every #other conflict that came before it in this whole universe had aNYTHING to do with its success. hrm. it's a mystery!) #normally i would answer this privately but i had to explain about the sony thing so you would know i KNEW about the sony thing and then.... #tag explosion and now it has to be public and i'm sorry i went on a mouse rant. I HATE THE MONOPOLY MOUSE I JUST DO. #IT'S BAD AND IT MAKES BAD LAZY THINGS THAT KILL CREATIVITY (AND NOW ALSO FUNDS GENOCIDE SO) #!ask
