Bunch of malignant rich bitches bout to go thru some things as they witness the celebrations of another malignant rich bitches death and that there is fuck all they can do to stop people being happy about it

#I have an expensive bottle of Champaign #specifically for when trump kicks it #and the parties #oh man the parties wil be lit #when that fascist fucker shuffles off his immoral coil #the death in question #i personally don’t feel any way about #monarchy makes absolutely no sense at all to me #having ppl born to the purple by pure change #is just as ridiculous as choosing a leader via #watery tarts distributing swords #literally equally insane #to be like “these specific inbreds shall lead us #and I’m American so I think my great grandfather #is the last of my ppl her family shat on #and they never totally destabilised by country #but there’s 10 or 12 (dozen) countries #for which the same cannot be said #and some of those wounds aren’t even closed #much less scarred over #so yeah I’m not going to have my bottle of Champaign to hand #and look down on ppl celebrating the death of their tyrant while waiting for the death of mine

the gorgug-porter conversation is interesting to me because like. yea for the overwhelming majority of the conversation porter’s being shitty & trying to fit gorgug into a box that gorgug just does not fit into by trying to make gorgug’s relationship with his rage more focused on the aggression aspect of it. but then there’s also this specific thing that brennan brought up again in the ap, which is that gorgug’s relationship with his rage is wholly “this is a tool i use to protect my friends.” which isn’t a bad thing! but that’s his Whole relationship with it, & gorgug seems to place next to no value on his rage in relationship to himself. which is problematic, because it’s first & foremost his rage.

being raised in a household with a sort of toxic positivity largely meant that, whether or not it was his parents’ intention, gorgug internalized the message that more traditionally “negative” emotions such as anger are the wrong response to something. part of the reason he prioritizes his artificing is probably because it’s “fixing” things. in comparison to being a barbarian, which gorgug associates with “breaking” things. good vs. bad behavior, in his eyes.

it’s a totally unacceptable bar to measure a 16 y/o by, but i do think part of porter’s reasoning for not letting gorgug multiclass is him recognizing that gorgug generally does not value anger as a valid emotional response to something, at the very least for himself. & that directly conflicts with what being a barbarian is, because whether you like it or not, that rage is what fuels you. but again, barring a kid from pursuing something they deeply care about in part (not entirely, porter has a lot of more bullshit reasons) because of their fundamental values & world outlook is crazy.

so yes, 98% of porter’s reasoning is pretty shitty, immature, rife with a toxic view that there’s only one proper way to access rage, & generally not a good thing to do as a teacher, but also within that reasoning is the 2% of ‘there is a fundamental part of yourself that you only value if you can use it to take care of other people & you need to accept that as something that can take care of you, too.’ but that’s something to discuss with a therapist or a guidance counselor, not something that should hugely impact gorgug’s academic future.

#gorgug thistlespring #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #btw these r just my personal opinions u r 100% free to disagree #gorgug & his rage interest me so deeply because of how deeply that rage existing seems to be against gorgug’s own will #like mechanically classes are choices & you can switch stuff around any time. but gorgug as a barbarian always felt like an unwilling choice #like that 14 y/o kid did not want to have rage. & that really interests me. #i’ve seen people before be like ‘what if gorgug dropped barbarian & went full srtificer’ but i feel like that simply can’t happen?? #mechanically yea sure but it always felt like a core part of gorgug that the rage will always be there & it’s a matter of how you channel it #idk. dnd classes narratively being treated as ‘you can not lose this part of you’ even though you technically can #gorgug could be lvl 19 artificer & he’d still have 1 level of barbarian. because that is part of who he is. #btw i don’t think porter truly cares about gorgug valuing his rage only as a way to be a human shield #i think porter just sees that as ‘wrong’ but like. not as in ‘you need to take care of yourself’ & more ‘you aren’t conforming’ #he thinks it’s wrong for the wrong reasons. the nastier ‘this is how you should be’ reasons #ppl being like ‘we r being too hard on porter. it’s an 150% courseload gorgug will be overwhelmed’ i think r missing the point bc like. #that is 100% a valid reason to not approve gorgug for multiclassing! but that’s also 100% not the reason porter rejected him. #that whole interaction was basically porter shoving his percieved version of conformity down gorgug’s throat. was v neurodivergent kid coded #no hate to anyone saying that last point btw these r all just opinions #thinking about last ep wilma & digby being like ‘you’re a great barbarian. you’re so great at it. but look at what you made!!!’ like. #they would never mean it like that. but when you only understand half of your son he is going to prioritize the half you do.

So this is controversial: for the record, I’m anti outdoor cat. That’s a hill I will die on. And I know I will regret posting this, but. I stand by it.

And that’s where things get tricky: so J and I already have a 100% indoor cat. She’s older, persnickety, and extremely opinionated (read: a hater.) And our neighborhood is absolutely full of stray, abandoned, and feral cats of varying types. It’s bad. As a biologist at heart, I weep, for both the wildlife they affect and the cats themselves.

There is a stray who has found our yard this spring, borderline emaciated but otherwise seeming healthy, who has suddenly and inexplicably glued herself to my side (and legs). She is dismal at being a cat and clearly misses the indoor lap of luxury, so I’m left to assume she was dumped at a young age. Which is just cruel. So now I’m left to figure out how to take care of her, with the end goal that she be an indoor cat somewhere���.

I do wonder if she can find it in her heart to latch onto another person. She loves laps, head butts, scritches and being held. She doesn’t like it when you try to leave and she is LOUD, so a bit much for my sensitive self. So I’m gonna do some problem solving because she doesn’t deserve the streets.

She is making it all but impossible to attend to my garden. And Zelda does NOT approve of the competition.

#cat #tortie #stray cat #literally a pain but she’s so sweet and she deserves the love she’s been denied #just don’t know if my household has the capacity to give what she clearly needs #I know it hurts feelings but cats are hugely impactful invasive species #it’s not their fault of course #obviously if both cats were more chill and whatnot then I’d take her in #if I was a handy person I would build her some sort of catio in the meantime #anyway I won’t be responding to people who argue about cats being outside so I will be deleting any comments that go that way #please don’t bother #we have failed them as a species when we put them in this predicament

I don't want to put this in the tags, since people are just having fun, but I figure you probably won't mind hearing my anon-complaints. I'm getting super annoyed by the recent influx of Jiang Chang related SVSSS crossover posts (and fics to a lesser extent).

Seeing JC interact with the PIDW world could be incredibly interesting, but the posts I keep spotting are all about the woobiefied fanon version of JC. JC and YQY are not all that much alike (JC isn't remotely loyal to WWX), and I don't think he'd get along well with LQG. The JC and SJ dynamic actually does seem like it would be fun to read, but with how toxic they both are it would be 'fun' more in the 'watching a car crash in slow motion' sort of way, rather then anything wholesome.

Anyway, mini-rant over!

Fanon: Everyone in svsss would just love Jiang Cheng!

Canon: Shen Qingqiu would take one look at Jiang Cheng and just assume that the natural state of PIDW requires a canon fodder villain to be killed. Assuming he was some previously no-named lackey, after the second time Jiang Cheng attacks Luo Binghe, Shen Qingqiu wouldn’t try to save him, anymore. Nobody else would have even cared to try.

Anyways, I know exactly what posts you’re talking about and exactly which blog keeps making them. Unfortunately for me, tumblr is trying this new thing out called “if the blog you blocked is a jc stan, the block doesn’t count,” so fuck people “having fun” in the tags. If I can’t have fun with canon on my own dash, no one is allowed to have fun with fanon on it, either 😤

#svsss asks #mdzs asks #anon #for legal purposes that last sentence was a joke #this isn’t the first time fanon jc-centric crossovers have happened #when jc stans get to feeling like the mdzs fandom is ‘too toxic’ #for discussing canon jc #they start fantasizing about jc ‘escaping’ mdzs #to live out his undeserved happiness in other books #as if those characters would like him any better #please they don’t even like their OWN antagonists! #nobody’s gonna have time to baby some manchild #that they have no personal connection to to begin with #jc is dying in svsss because he raises every character flag #that that should be his ending in a typical book of that style #sqh ain’t developing him and neither is sqq! #if he survived ‘narrative destiny’ then lbh is def killing him #the first time he snaps at sqq for *anything* #but what am i even saying: no way in hell #jc gets accepted to cang qiong mountain sect anyways #he’s huan hua if he’s in any sect #so lbh is def killing him during sqq’s 5-year death nap

just gonna go ahead and say this in advance—

if Riz does indeed come out in junior year, and he says, “I’m ace” or “I’m asexual” when referring specifically to his lack of romantic attraction, aromantic people are allowed to be upset about it.

#because yes of course some people irl say ace to mean both bc that’s how they personally identify #but in fictional media the distinction is necessary. especially with how few canonically aromantic characters even exist in ANY mainstream/ #popular media. #I assure you I’m not invalidating anyone who is ace and they mean that to include lack of romantic attraction. #But to look at this from a MEDIA PERSPECTIVE its irresponsible to do this w/out clarification that they also know the word aromantic exists #because otherwise that’s just a conflation of asexual and aromantic without any nuance #and an erasure of aromantic people who are not asexual. #Plus—name a single fucking time a character in mainstream/popular media has said the word aromantic. #Because I can name several instances where they say asexual. But I can’t think of ONE where they say aro or aromantic. #(Maybe that Isaac kid does in season 2 of Heartstopper? But I haven’t seen it so I’m not 100% sure.) #anyways. #the way this fucking fandom—and ANY fandom with a canon aro character—discusses the aromantic spectrum #is blatantly just to remove their own personal guilt for shipping that character with other characters and erasing their orientation. #because yes aromanticism IS a spectrum!! But when people talk about fabriz and say ‘he can still be ace!’ (Which is aro erasure) or #‘he can still be aro!’ They never SHOW riz still being aro or having any kind of complex relationship with romance. #I’m angry and I’m allowed to be. #I get that a ship you liked may be hard to let go of or something #But I’d be much less mad if all the fabriz fans said ‘yeah I know Riz is aro in canon and he and Fabian would never get together. #I just like to imagine it sometimes in fiction/fanon!’ Then that would be a WHOLE different conversation #Because then they’d at least be acknowledging that riz doesn’t feel romance in canon. That fabriz is something that actively #Goes against the canon characterization of one of those characters—and that’s fine. Just fucking ACKNOWLEDGE IT. #But most of these people either WANT fabriz to be canon/believe it WILL BE canon #OR I guess feel uncomfortable confronting the fact that they ARE erasing riz’s aromanticism so they don’t even acknowledge it at all. #fhjy #fantasy high #d20 #dimension 20 #riz gukgak #aromantic riz gukgak #fhsy

Thank you!! I hadn’t seen the full thing this is wonderful <3 posting this so everybody else who might’ve missed it can see!

(Also leaving my personal opinions in the tags just to clarify where I stand because I’m so tired of everybody being weird about Damien specifically throughout this whole thing)

#hehe send me asks #smosh #damien haas #shourtney #smoshblr #I think that everybody blowing up at him is so…I mean #first of all unfair to him and to Shayne and Courtney who are clearly some of his closest friends #but also just. generally speaking super infantilizing and not necessarily aware that like #this is a grown man who not only has more to think about than his friends getting married #which he likely knew about way WAY before any of us did #obviously #but also he’s autistic and thus processes cues and reactions differently #and everybody is like WHA WHY DIDNT HE POST WHY ISNT HE BEING SUPPORTIVE #as if Damien isn’t generally pretty private about a lot of his personal life especially when it involves other people in the public eye #but especially since this is like #his best friend getting married to his other very close friend I feel like it would be obvious that this is something he would celebrate #privately and among the friends involved #anyway that’s my two sense please let him rest he’s like one of the busiest people in the cast and clearly loves his friends so much #**cents oops it’s late #and I don’t blame him for wanting to make this something special that he celebrates with them away from the #incredibly judgy #public eye

hello miners and crafters i have questions about the deep dark

see i can admit i don’t know everything

(if anyone has theories or more questions send em i have ancient city brainrot again and this is all i can think about)

1. why does the sculk inflict darkness

the doylist answer here is definitely ‘game design’, but in terms of the sculk’s biology in-universe—it doesn’t have eyes. it would have no reason to understand the concept of vision, so how does it block ours?

2. why don’t catalysts make more catalysts

when catalysts spread sculk they make sensors and shriekers, albeit rarely, but they never spawn new catalysts. the only way to create a new catalyst is to kill a warden, which means past a certain point the sculk depends on players to spread itself. again, might just be a gameplay decision, but if this is an intentional part of sculk lore it then raises the question of how the hell all the naturally generated catalysts got where they are

3. why would the pillagers bother to build with wool

now ok for context afaik no official source has confirmed for sure that the pillagers were ever there, but they obviously were, and for a while. because some parts of the cities will contain structures like these:

which are designed in the distinct style of pillager outposts and don’t match the rest of the city at all. there’s also the piles of cyan, blue, and light blue wool referred to as ‘camps’ that match the wool piles found in woodland mansions, and the implication here is that the pillagers used this wool to reconstruct parts of the wool walkways.

the problem is, the pillagers’ apparent reconstruction efforts consistently prioritize practicality over the original builders’ stylistic choices, and they would have no practical reason to use wool if only vibrations made by players can activate shriekers. so why bother? why not use wood planks or cobblestone like they do everywhere else?

#mumbling #minecraft #i feel a little like the cinemasins guy here but i promise that’s not why i’m asking #the answers to these questions are very important to my ever-expanding and unnecessarily intricate personal sculk lore #like genuinely #i recognize there are limitations to any form of storytelling i just want to know what’s lore and what’s a compromise #where is the line give me the special secret knowledge so i can start making art about it #although number 3 is kinda one of the places where i think i disagree with the writers #i don’t like the pillagers being the source of the blue wool scattered around bc before i realized they made those wooden structures #the story implied by the colored wool was WAY cooler and so much worse

[bratprivilege]

I am like literally begging the Internet to write image descriptions at this point

#sometimes I swear when a fandom gets an ID blog the individuals who had been writing their own just stop #just assuming the ID blog will pick up the slack so they don’t really need to worry about it anymore #how many times do we have to say an ID on the original post is 1 million times better #than going dumpster diving in the notes of every single mystery image on the dash with little to no context #hoping for the off chance that somebody somewhere has actually written one in a reblog #I see descriptions way more often than I did 10 years ago but still not nearly often enough #and I feel like the number of descriptions I see on my own dash has dropped significantly while I was gone #during those several months where I straight up couldn’t use Tumblr because they broke any excuse for accessibility on the app #don’t know if people just went ‘hey that one blind person I know is gone so I probably don’t need to bother with this anymore’ or what #but my dash is once again flooded with images that mean nothing to me and I seriously need to do a big unfollowing

[amethysttribble]

I have a thought rolling around in my head about how fandom has a very rigid, very bland, very one-dimensional idea of what a ‘good’ parent looks like, and how this vision is entirely fantasy and wish-fulfillment

#like they come off as soooo ‘I wanted my parents to be supportive in everything I did and never get mad ever no matter what’ #and like… that’s not a person doing right by their child that’s an fantasy to make you feel like everything about you is good #you’re imagining robots that pat you on the head and call you good all the time #those aren’t PEOPLE #parents are people #which- and I’m sorry people don’t know this- but you would know if you had a positive healthy relationship with any kind of parental figure #and it gets me cause I think I write feanor as a very positive kind of father #but Ive gotten SO MANY comments going ‘oh I don’t like bad dad fenaor but your stuff-‘ and I’m just like ??? #I don’t write him as a bad dad! I write him as a person! a personality! and not some validation dispensing machine #and even the ‘good’ ‘great’ parents mess their kids up in some ways it’s literally impossible to not have a few hang ups from your parents #it’s about TRYING and TALKING and LOVE tho #not being perfectly accepting of everything no matter what #anyway that’s just what I had to say #new fandom challenge- write interesting parents #Tribble post

i’m going to be a hater again for like 20 seconds. about astarion. as per usual.

why do ppl insist on reading (spawn and/or pre-ritual) astarion as possessive of his partner? why do we Want him to have that trait? what is the point. why r we trying to make him possessive and protective when he’s like… not? ascended!astarion is right there u can literally have this if u want it! u don’t need to ascribe it to spawn!astarion when it’s not there. there is Literally A Version Of Events Where It Is True

#this isn’t even about like when ppl decide his canon reaction to the halsin romance is not canon for whatever reason that’s like. #a personal interpretation wrt to Your Tav and astarion’s relationship and u can view it however u want #it’s abt like ‘uwu look he’s sooo possessive and protective of tav he doesn’t want anyone to touch them~~~’ like girl what. girl where. #literally a canonical line that comes out of his mouth is ‘i trust you to make choices that won’t hurt what we have’ #is that trust not More compelling to u? or am i like. insane #way more interested in his ability and willingness to trust his partner and in the relationship #and tbh hot take perhaps but look me in the eye and tell me spawn!astarion WANTS his partner to feel owned? or restricted in any way by him #u can get all this and more with ascended!astarion my man. u can have what u want with him. and i encourage u!! have it!! enjoy it!! #if u want him possessive u can literally have that. the world is ur oyster. #okay hater hours over. feel free to argue with me abt it or don’t #漫言 #complaining

IM HAVING A GOOD DAY EVEN THOUGH I DIDNT EXPECT TO HAVE ONE

#once again cannot reccomend taking your adhd meds enough. yes sometimes i feel unnecessarily guilty that i took them and didn’t ‘do anything #‘ but then i have days like today when i did two things and also just feel rad (probably at least partially thanks to the extra dopamine fro #m bestie addy lol but fuck it i don’t have to feel any sort of way about it other than thankful that i have medicine that works for me somet #imes 😎😎😎) #anyways now i am spending the night with this person who matches me level in our relationship i think. like level of enthusiasm etc and that #feels so fucking good bc i am A Lot and it feels so validating to be on the receiving end of A Lot too 💗💗

idk man i just don’t think you have to only root against people who are bigots, sometimes they can just be the people you’re rooting against

#bb25 #like please root against bigots by all means i’ll be shouting from the rooftops right there along with you #but… #bb twitter has lost the plot #at least on tumblr i feel like for the most part we can just agree to disagree and move on with our lives #which is wild considering how this platform was even just a few years ago #like you don’t have to like any houseguest as a player or a person #they don’t have to be the second coming of aaryn for you to justify that opinion #you can just find them a little irritating or think they’re bad players or whatever #this isn’t about the micro aggression discourse by the way way i personally think that’s a lot more nuanced #and is a discussion with at least some merit #but we don’t need to make things up out of thin air

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors #infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like #he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in #black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression #but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience #plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns #Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me #like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions #he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self #righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand #saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault #but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up #I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me #you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his #head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead #to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home #like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol #also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate #when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man #it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through #these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted #fallout #fallout new vegas #Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant #I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished #ulysses fnv #fnv ulysses #lonesome road

one of the funniest (most annoying) responses to my posts about my own personal experiences is “um this is [x] erasure” or “op this needs more nuance”. ??? no it doesn’t, it’s literally just a vent post about my own feelings and experiences ? lol

#why are you talking about a very variable experience that will widely differ from person to person that no 2 people encounter in the exact #same way without accounting for every nuance that applies to every person in the world ever? #it’s giving ‘how dare your experiences not align precisely with my own!!’ #i made a post a while back complaining about disability tropes i find obnoxious in media and a shit ton of people started going ‘uhm op some #disabled people feel DIFFERENTLY than you’ cool? i never said my experiences were universal. i just wanted to vent about the way abled #people treat me and refer to me. i really wish it hadn’t breached containment lmao #leave me alone weirdos #if i wanted to make a blanket statement or write an essay to cover the entire experience of disabled people i would fucking do that #but sometimes personal memes are just that. it’s not any deeper. stop digging for what isn’t there #and stop expecting people to be monoliths or vessels through which entire communities of minorities speak #‘you don’t speak for everyone’ and i never claimed to. glad we cleared that up 👍
