People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Chilchuck analysis speedrun: As a hardworking half-foot who grew up poor and discriminated against and had his gullibility taken advantage of multiple times in his early adventuring days, Chilchuck thinks optimism is a dangerous flaw. He’s stressed and strict all the time because his job is noticing details like traps that could get everyone killed before anyone knows it, he takes the lives of everyone to be on his shoulders, and with the way he speaks about it that probably partly reflects how he felt about taking it upon himself to provide for his family too. His life’s always been pretty centered around work and has become even moreso now that his wife left and everyone is independent, and due to past events he’s very iffy with bonding with coworkers. He thinks feelings and job are a disaster mix. Like with his wife or with parties hiring him as sacrifice, being open or having good faith is vulnerability which can get you hurt, so he processes and shows all his stress as anger instead of worry. Doing strict dieting probably isn’t helping the irritability what with hunger, and on top of being a hunger suppressant alcohol might be the main stress reliever he has.
His grey hairs are so earned

you MUST get a jumping spider. genuinely the most delightful critters!! here's my prettiest little Deja Vu hanging out in a miniature teapot i got on sale at michaels 💞
I do really want one so bad! I’m not in the market for anything right now but it could potentially happen in the future just because it’s not like they’d be a ton of work. I don’t have a ton of space for more enclosures in my house but they’re so small that wouldn’t be a huge deal

the cw is doing the wrongest thing ever not horribly milking and beating the dead cash horse cow of supernatural with shitty animated spin-offs and crossovers because literally . Like okay. you have these guys this little dysfunctional found family right. We can do that we can put them with any other silly squad going on adventures. We did it with Scooby-Doo, we can do it with the justice league or good omens or some other shit . especially good omens they’ve got more ties. But like not only is it a huge part of spn that Our Heroes are deeply flawed and yknow dysfunctional, maladjusted , generally unwell and textually having a reputation as Those Fucking Guys That Keep Fuckin Shit Up All The Time And Don’t Stay Dead.. they’ve also just done the worst shit ever, both legally and morally they have a lot of fucked up shit under their belts and the thematic response to that is basically “your honor my client didn’t mean it 🥺” or smth smth whatever influenced them to be stupid , which is also funny bc if you tried to use their in-universe justifications like soullessness or a biblical murder curse or evil monster goo .
There’s a reason sam and dean were admitted to a ward when they were honest about their problems is all I’m saying. But anyways. Like imagine , you’re the justice league or the avengers or some other Ostensibly Good team that’s pretty squeaky clean and accountable to its screwups, and bingo bongo crossover event ur meeting these guys that already have a reputation for being seemingly-unkillable bastards — bonus point is the normal world regards them as “satan worshipping serial killers” — and you learn all the fucked up shit they did (which I will not be detailing because it’s almost 6am now and they’ve done too much for me to remember) . And to all of that, to genocide and nurse drinking and telekinetic nonbeliever torturing and demon murder spreeing , these pricks have the audacity to say shit like “well see we didn’t mean it and everybody makes mistakes and that’s the magic of free will and family ^_^”
Idk I’m tired .this isn’t coherent but do you see my vision anyways . Suffice it to say I think Amanda Waller would have the most insane beef with tfw2.0

as someone who really can't drink sparkling water, what do you like about it? is it actually the bubbles (just a more interesting water) or is it more about the flavours or something
I like it because it’s an alternative to both sugary soda/juice and beer, I’ve had some substance use issues with alcohol in the past and my blood sugar is kinda high so sparkling water is a good replacement for both of those things for me :)
